A large number of distinguished people at tended the funeral. Judge Samuel S. Dreherof Strouds burg died suddenly last Monday, aged 69 years. He was a nephew of the late Frederick Drcher of this town, and was one of the best known judges in the state. Since dollars are coined out of six ty cents' worth of silver, it is no won der that counterfeiters have turned honest and are getting out dollars containing the same amount of silver as the genuine, and undistinguishable from the mint issue. In former times when a silver dollar was worth 100 cents, counterfeiters had to use baser metals, which soon led to their detec tion. But when the government itself gives a fictitious value to its coinage, who is there to deprecate the acts of individuals who issue a dollar of the same value as the government.-f-tific American.

The New York Sun makes some sensible remarks on Chief Justice Ful ler's decision in the World's Fair case. It says : "To appreciate the import ance of the Chief Justice's opinion, it ' is only necessary to consider what a decision the other way would have sig nified. It would practically have held the Government of the United states re sponsible for the pecuniary affairs of the Exposition. If the right of the Federal Government to dictate as to the management of the Fair has been established, the Chicago people could have gone to Congress next winter with a very strong case, demanding an appropriation from the United States Treasury to cover every dollar of de lir.it. More than that, it would have prac lically asserted the supreme authority of the Federal Government in regard to matters which, under the Constitu tion, belong to the States. It would have been the longest and most dangerous step toward centralization since the reconstruction period. Every American citizen ought to re joice at the decision of the Court of Appeals, whether he believes that Sun day opening is a good thing or a bad thing for the people." Tuesday's Cabinet Meeting. THE NEW PHASE OF THE SILVER QUES TION DISCUSSED AT LENGTH. Washington, June 28. Two hours were consumed by the cabinet to-day discussing the new phase of the silver question and other matters demand ing attention. The two conferences yesterday afternoon and evening be tween the President and Secretary Carlisle simplified matters to some extent Although the discussion, it is said, took a wide range, it was neces sarily brought back to one important and unmanageable point that the executive had no power in the prem ises, congress alone being able to deal with the measure for relief. It was plain to the cabinet that the monthly purchase of silver must be continued -or else congress must be convened in special session immediately. As the . President had decided to call con gress together in the early part of Sep tember, to deal with the financial sit uation, and manifested no intention of changing his stated purpose, the project of an earlier session of con gress, it was understood, was dropped. So far as the continuance of the pur chase of silver bullion under the Sher man law was concerned, it was point ed out that little more than two months remained before congress would convene in extra session and that during the intervening time the silver to be purchased would be only nine million ounces, a comparatively small amount in view of the previous purchases. The best way to deal with the question was to wait the course of events for two months long er. This view was generally agreed to and the meeting adjourned. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cures piles.

President Cleveland hopes to join Mrs. Cleveland and Ruth at their Buz zard Bay cottage the latter part of this week, although he has so much to do that he cannot mnke the trip one of rest and recreation. He will simply transfer the executive office from the White House to his seaside cottage, in order that he may work with more comfort and fewer interruptions and at the same time be with Mrs. Cleve land during the period that every af fectionate liusband likes to be with his wife. He told Representative Richardson, of Tennessee, who was chairman of the committee on Printing in the last House and who will probably occupy the same position when the present House is organized, that he would not appoint the new Public Printer for some time. The delay in the appoint ment of this official is believed to be largely due to a desire to perfect a plan for the entire reorganization of the Government Printing office as soon as the change is made. Representative Catchings, ot Mis sissippi, who was a member of the House committee on Rules in the last Congress, says some radical changes will have to be made in the House rules if difficulty is to be escaped in carrying out the pledges of the party. Rules that will prevent more than a reasonable time being consumed in filibustering are what will be needed to carry out the democratic legislative programme. Representative Tarsney, of Missouri, created a sensation in the House a few weeks before the adjournment of the last session of Congress by declar ing that under Raum's administration of the Pension Office pensions had been granted for no other disability than the loss of hair. Republican members of the House bitterly denied the statement and called upon Mr. Tarsney to give the name of his in formant, and the next day Raum sent a letter to Representative Grout, of Vermont, officially denying hat a pen sion had ever been allowed for bald ness, and again Mr. Tarsney was afk ed to give his informant's name. Mr Tarsney replied by saying that his in formant was an employee of the Pen sion Office and would at once be dis missed if his name were mentioned. He added however , that he believed the statement to be true and said : "I make this pledge to the House ; that at the very first opportune moment it can be safely done, I shall, by the files and records of that Office, prove the truth of my informant's statements, or hold him up to the scorn of the House and the country as a falsifier, a char acter I do not believe he deserves." Two clays before the inauguration of President Cleveland Dr. Warren Holt, of Missouri, a medical examiner in the Pension Office, was dismissed ur.djr the charge of having given false information to Representative Tarsney. Now for the sequel : This week quite accidentally a case was discovered that proved Mr. Tarsney's statement to have been strictly true and the dismiss al of Dr. Holt to have been unjust he has been reinstated. The case is that of Allen G. Peck, of Co. H. 1st R. I. Light Artillery, who was allowed a pension Oct. 19, 1891,10 be dated from March 1, 1884, of $4 a month, the only disability alleged being "loss of hair 5 result of typhoid fever." Whether there are other men drawing pensions for baldness remains to be seen, but Mr. Peck will draw no more money on that account Secretary Morton says his recent trip to Nebraska convinced him that the populist party is rapidly disinter grating in the northwest and that the democrats of that section will never consent to a fusion with such a party. He thinks that if any party combines with the populists it will be the repub licans in a few of the populists it will be the republicans in a few of the southern states. Next Friday will close the present fiscal year and instead of the eight or ten million deficiency which was esti mated by Kaum there will jemain un expended more than $1,000,000 of the pension appropriation. It is understood that Sec. Lamont's action in revoking his recent order ap pointing an army Court of Inquiry to inquire into CoL Ainsworth's connect ion with the accident at Ford's old theatre was the result of a conference with President Cleveland, and that it had been definitely decided not to sus pend Col. Ainsworth until the courts decide whether he is guilty or not He will be indicted by the grand jury this week. There is nothing raugwumpish about Mr. Dayton, the new postmaster of New York City, who has been in Washington several days attending to the filing of his bond and other official matters. Speaking of the appoint ments to be made in his office, out side of the classified servicj he said: "In making appointments to these places I shall put in democrats as a matter of course. Mr. Cleveland did not appoint me with the idea that I would appoint republicans. Impure blood is the cause of in numerable maladies. Hence, one of the greatest benefactions to humanity was the discovery of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which, more than any other medicine, has saved America from becoming a nation of invalids. HON.

Our elevitors are bursting with wheat for which the farmer can com mand but little more than 6o cents a bushel. There are in Europe alone, if we may credit the statement made by the late Secretary of Agriculture, Mr. RtiK'k, 150,000,000 people who never eat wheaten bread. In the one country is an immense supp y of visi ble food waiting for buyers. In the other countries are millions who i?o to bed hungry. Between them ply ferry boats with freight charges reduced to a minimum. What prevents an ex change that means benefit to both sides, needed food to the one and needed markets to the other ? Not the sea, for it costs no more to send a bushel of wheat abroad than to send a letter in the mail, but the Mc Kinley bill, which takes from the farm er, or his middleman, one-third or one half of the commodities for which he might exchange this surplus wheat in foreign markets as a fine for not buy ing those commodities from some pro tected home producer. It is clear, then, that whatever di rect benefits may come to classes from release of taxes on the necessaries tln.y consume or on materials with, which they work, the great general good to be sought in tariff revision is a healthy expansion of foreign com merce. This was the immediate re sult of the Walker tariff in 1846. Dur ing the twenty-five years previous our foreign trade had not doubled. In 1822 it was $141,000,000. In 1846 it had grown to $227,000,000, an in crease of but 60 per cent. Under the low revenue tariff enact ed in that year it swelled by i860 to $687,000,000, a growth of more than 220 per cent, in fourteen years. More significant and instructive still was the increase in the tonnage of American shipping engaged in the foreign ttade. For thirty years prior to 1846 it had been nearly stationary. Ir. that year it was only 943,307 tons, almost 40.000 less than in 1810. By i860 it reached 2,379,396 tons. These figures speak volumes, but their chief encouragement is for those who produce the surplus products that must have other markets besides our own for remunerative sales. The tariff of 1846 made a vent for our surplus products by opening a market for the things which, and which alone, other peoples had to ex change for them. Yet this rapid ex pansion of imports b'ought no distress to home manufacturers. On the con trary, after eleven years' experience of that tiriff they assented, almost unani mously, to a further decrease of 20 per cent. The party of low taiiff and revenue duties is not about to try a new and dangerous experiment. It has no new fanglcd theory which it wishes to test upon the body jxjlitic. It has not only the support of reason but this solid justification of experience in the re form it proposes to niak? by purging our laws of the duties that smell oi monopoly and rescuing the sovereign power of taxation from private control.

MEN AND WOMEN INTERESTED. "It is astonishing," said one of our physicians the other evening, "how many of the ordinary diseases people suffer from come from the one cause excess of uric acid in the blood. To discover a medicine that would dissolve this acid has puzzled thous ands of the best men of the medical profession, until Dr. David Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y produced what is known the world ovtr as Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. 1 he great value we place in Favorite Remedy comes from the fact that it is the only medi cine that will effectually dissolve this acid thus curing rheumatism, dyspep sia, kidney, livei and urinary troubles and the sicknesses women suffer from. These and many more troubles all come from the one cause, as I said before, this deaih dealing uric acid." Perhaps there has been no one per son in Wyoming Co., Pa., that lias suffered more than Mrs. Carrie Bou ton, formerly of Schottville, but now of Harvey's Lake, I.uzerne Co. Mrs. Bouton, in relating her restoration to health, said : "From a growing girl I suffered from female trouble or weak ness peculiar to my sex. Several phy sicians prescribed for me but I found no relief. I was reduced in flesh down to 68 pounds. By accident I heard of Dr. Kennedys Favorite Remedy and determined to try it, and to my great joy I began to realize that I had found a medicine that was doing me good. ' I think I had used five bottles when I found that I weighed 121 J pounds zv.i was better in health than I ever was before. 1 Inquiry among Mrs. Eouton's neigh bors shows that she states nothing but the facts in regard to her case. Many other instances of the kind are widely talked of in Scottsville, Tunkhannock, Wilke.ibarre and other places where Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy has effected many cures after physicians had given up hope. "But," says one of our prominent druggists, ' Favorite Remedy is equally efficacious in other diseases, as talks with people I have sold Favorite Re medy to affirm. To my knowledge right, in our town Favorite Remedy has cured people suffering from rheu matism, dyspepsia, kidney, liver and urinary troubles." Since the publication in one of the New York medical journals of the case of Mr. E. P. Tayer, of East Nas sau, N. Y., Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy has been increasing in sale. Mr. Tayer had suffered for fifteen years with inflammatory rheumatism. His case was practically abandoned by bis physicians. Favorite Remedy was brought to his notice and in less than three months after its use he was a well man. In commenting on this case Dr. W. H. Morse, of New York City, says : The great good in Favorite Remedy lies in its power to dissolve this dead ly uric acid. In cases of dyspepsia, eczema, scrofula or any urinary di seases I have never known it to fail, when taken according to directions. Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is not only used by physicians now but can be found on sale by every medicine dealer. Wilke$-Barr (Pa.)Time8. Now Try This.
