FRIDAY, NOVKMHKR 4, I The republicans of Philadelphia threaten to publish the names of office holders who do not promptly respond to the committee's demand for cash to run the coming campaign. Governor Pattison has appointed Hon. E. M. Tewksbury as one of the delegates from Pennsylvania to the Farmer's Congress, which meets at Savannah, Georgia, next month. One of the greatest and most costly strikes on record, in this or any other country terminated in England last week. They were out nearly four months, and 350,000 miners kept idle. It is estimated that the loss from the strike foots up over $150,000,000. The loss of earnings of seven railroads alone amounted to over $9,000,000. There has been a general revival of business in the manufacturing centres. At Youngstown, O , the rolling mills began operations Monday after an idleness of nearly five months. The Norwalk Connecticut Corset Manu factory began operations employing over 700 workman. At Joliet, Illi nois, the rolling mills begun with 850 workmen, after an idleness of eleven months ; new machinery has been add ed, and the mills now ready to com pete. At Dubois, Pa , two thousaud more returned to work at a reduction of ten per cent. Senator P. Gray Meek, of Eelle fonte, editor of the Watchman has filed his application at Washington for the position of Surveyor of the Port. If a man merits reward for his service to the party, then there should be no hesitancy in making this ap pointment. Mr. Meek, has shown that he is a misnomer, for with his editorial quill he has pressed hard upon the common enemy, and with his widely circulated influential paper has given valuable aid in every con flict, whether confronted by a mighty host or with the assurance of success. He has always been found in the har ness. The conflict between Judge End lich and Judge Ermentrout was re newed Monday when the latter hand ed down an opinion in answer to Judge Endlich's last decision concern ing jury drawing. Judge Ermentrout among other things said : 1 "The spectacle of judges ventila ting their supposed personal grievan ces before die public is neither pleas ing nor conducive to the interests of justice. My former opinion vindicated the practice of the court and its judges past and present. It vindicate 1 the honesty and integrity of both the se lection of the jurors and the jurors selected. Whatever legal questions are raised of record will eventually be disposed of without regard to crimina tion or recrimination. "Good sense and a proper regard for the dignity of.the bench require that this controversy shall cease, and I propose, so far as I am concerned, to end it now." The Supreme Court has recently rendered another decision on the fence law, called for in the case of Barber against Mensch, sent up from .Union county, in reference to the fence law now in force in Pennsylva nia. The opinion was delivered by Judge Dean and the following points were sustained : "1. Since the pass age of the Act of April 4, 1889, re pealing the Act of 1700, no man is required to fence against his neighbor's cattle, but every person is legally bound to restrain his own cattle. 2. The Act of March n, 1842, provides a mode for ascertaining and fixing the liability for the cost of a devision fence between adjoining owners ; but the absence of a fence, or an insuf ficient fence, is no defense to an action for trespess against the owner of the trespassing cattle. 3. He who would pasture his fields must make the di vision fence if that is necessaiy to keep his cattle off his neighbor's field. He may then have recourse to the Act of 184a to recover a pioportion ate part of the cost of the fence. '4. Barber made one-half of a division fence. Mensch refused to make the other half. Held, that Mensch is liable at common, law in trespass for the damage done by his cattle on Barber'i land." It not only telieves ; it does more, it'eures. We refer to One Minute Cough Cure.

(From our lli'tfulnr Co. iys-m.i.Ii-iiI . WaSHINC.TON. NOV. 23, ItSy $ P!i. i'i t 1 1 1 .! 'W. nt wtnii-4 (if P. t.iiiilt'nr I Cleveland and Secretary Grcsliam since the last news from Hawaii was received indicates that it contained nothing displeasing or disappointing to them. But no smiles arc seen on the faces of those who had previously worked themselves into a frenzy over the policy of the administration in dealing with Hawaii, without knowing what that policy was. They expected to hear a sensational story of the driv ing of the Provisional government of Hawaii from power and .lie restora tion of the queen, by U. S. marines and sailors under command of Minis ter Willis, and hoped that it would be accompanied by bloodshed. There fore when the dispatches which reached Washington Saturday afternoon con tained nothing more sensational than the formal speeches of Minister Willis and President Dole, delivered when the former presented his credentials as minister to the Provisional govern ment, the sensation mongers found themselves without a leg to stand on. The administration has never been more dignified than during all of the senseless excitement and criticism which followed the publication of Sec retary Gresham's recommendation concerning Hawaii. It had mapped out its programme before Minister Willis left Washington and notwith standing numerous contrary state ments it has not made the slightest change in that programme or in its instructions to Minister Willis. It has from the first been convinced that its course would be fully endorsed by the unprejudiced public when the facts upon which action was taken become known, and it has declined to allow public clamor to cause it to change ifs plans as to when these facts should be made public. That feeling is as strong to day as it ever was, and when the proper time comes the people will be taken into the confidence of Mr. Cleveland and they will endorse what he has done, as they have so often done before, and then, his would be critics will be sorry they did not wait awhile. The sub committees which have been preparing the various schedules of the new tariff bill have finished their work and the completed bill is now being considered by the full dem ocratic membership of the committee on A ays and Means. While some minor changes may be made in the bill before it is made public it is prac tically finished and the republican members of the committee will prob ably be furnished with printed copies of it within ten days, so that it will be ready to report to the House during the first week of the session. The bill has been approved by the President and his cabinet and by the executive committee of the National Democrat ic committee, and will not be submit ted to a caucus before being reported to the House. I am not at liberty to give any details of the bill at this time but can say without violating conti dence that it is from beginning to end a thoroughly democratic measure, li is not intended that it shall in any sense supercede the Congiessional campaign committee, but that it shall act in conjunction therewith. In all of the departmental annual reports which have been completed there is one noticeable feature that is essentially democratic recommend tions looking towards economy in pub lic expenditures. Wherever reduc tions are possible under existing laws they will be made, but it will take time to undo the results of a long ser ies of extravagant republican legisla tion, but it will be done, and at the earliest possible moment. President Cleveland was never ap parently in better health than at this time. Since he moved his family from his country residence to the White House he spends about an hour every day in walking around the ex tensive grounds in the rear of the White House and he is almost invari ably accompanied by Mrs. Cleveland, who is again the very picture of health, while the nurse and the two babies ate usually not far on'. Owing to the presence of an unusual number of cranks and tramps in Washington these grounds arc closed to the publ.c most of the time, but there is no truth in the stories printed of Mr. Cleve land's being followed around by a lot of private detectives. The indications point to the suc cess of R. E. Shearer of Lancaster county for the position of Collector of the Ninth district. He is endors ed and his appointment urged by Governor Pattison. Attorney Gener al Hensel has endorsed Win, B. Giv en, editor of the Columbia Herald, for the same place. B. M. Nead, the Secretary of State Democratic Com mittee is also an applicant for the place and well endorsed.

General New. The Williamsport counil has pass ed an ordinance prohibiting bicycle riders from using the sidewalks. A'.o : nn onlin.imx that none but citi.e . of Wiiiiaim-'poi t be employe ! by con: c tois on city work, unless the work ! require skilled workmen. Henry Ullman, one of William sport's oldest and most wealthy citi zens died Tuesday morning, aged 77 years. He lived In Williamsport over fifty years and began there a poor peddler. A company has been formed at Williamsport, for the purpose of es tablishing an ice rink. The ground is being prepared so that the water will be from eight inches to two feet deep. The forthcoming annual report of the secretary of internal affairs for the year ending November 30th. gives the assessed valuation of real estate in Pennsylvania for the year ending June 1st, 1892, at $2,308,767,431, or $42,422,606 less than the assessed valuation for the year ending June 30th, 1893, Deputy Secretary Brown says that these figures do not cover more than sixty per cent, of the actual valuation of real estate taxable for local purposes in the commonwealth. Neither do they cover the real estate of those public corporations whose real estate is not taxed for local pur poses, these taxes being paid into the state treasury, or include the valua tion of municipal corporations, school districts and the properties devoted to religious worship. The employees of the Lehigh Val ley railroad began a strike Saturday of last week, which has the appearance of being the worst known for many years. The only trains running regu larly are the mail train ; the passenger and freight trains being abandoned. Nearly two thousand of the employees of the road quit work. The officials of the road say the strike will soon be over, as there are so many unemploye I men that all the places of the strikers will soon be filled. Tha strike in the Wilkesbarre Lace Mill, one of the largest in the United States, which has lasted for some months past, may be consideied end ed. The large force of Germans em ployed there have returned to work. The most severe storm known swept the English coast Saturday. Over rive hundred were drowned at sea. Many of the large vessels were wrecked, making the loss run up intt millions of dollars. An infant child of Joseph Hance, of 294 Passaic street, Passaic, N. Y., fell from a third-story window. It fell at the feet of Dr. J. S. Sullivan, who carried it into the house expecting to find it dead. When it was laid on a bed it grabbed at his watch-chain and commenced to crow lustily. An ex amination showed that the child was absolutely unhurt. A school ma'ain in a near-by district who, having an inordinate dread of contagious diseases, sent a little giil home because her mother was sick and showed symptoms of something alarming. The next diy tl.c little girl presented herself at school, with her finger in her mouth and her little bon net swinging by the string, she timidly said : "We got a new baby at our house, but mamma told me to tell you it isn't catching." The teacher blushed slightly and said she was glad and told the pupil to take her seat. Lippmcott's Magazine for Deoembor, '93. Th complete novel in the Decem ber number of IJppincoifs is "Ser geant Crttsus," by Captain Charles King. It is one of his most interest ing tales of army life and Indian fight ing in the wild West, and makes a new departure in having a private and foreigner for its hero. The tenth and last of Lippincott's Notable Stories, "When Hester Came," will be found to be one of the very best, as it is the longest, of the series. It is by an entirely new and very promising writer, Mrs. Bride Neill Taylor, of Texas. Another story of marked power, at once striking, delicate, and pathetic, is "In the Camp of Philistia," by Vir ginia Woodward Cloud. "A Dream in the Morning," by Alice Brown, is a brief and beautiful sketch of a soul's undying devotion in the future life. The Journalist Series is continued in "A Newspaper Sensation," by Louis N. Megargee, who tells of "a clever capture" which greatly discouraged grave-robbing in a certain region. The facts will be remembered by many. J. N. Ingram gives the history of "The Australian Rabbit - Plague," Wilton Tournier tells "How to Culti vate the Body." Edgar Fawcett writes of "Literary Popularity," and M. Crofton concludes his series,"Men of the Day," with sketches of Profes sor Huxley and Luigi Arditi. The poetry of the number is con tributed by JMercy Hart, Margaret Gilman George, and Nannie Fitzhugh Maclean. GOOD ROADS. At the annual meeting of county commissioners held at Wilkes-B.urc last-week, Hon. D. L. Rhone read a pap.'r on the subject of Good '.'jiads Tlu paper was based on an Act wiiicii will be presented to the next legislature. After several provisions for classi ifying different kinds of roads, the Act provides, "that such public thor oughfares shall be made at least 12 feet wide, underdrained, covered with six inches of hard broken stone of at least two inches mesh, protect ed at the sides by copings of stone wall or flagging, with causeways of stone or terra cotta pipe, properly covered, to carry the water from the side ditches. Broken stone need not be laid as a covering where a firm foundation of soil is sccurable without it." That cost of improvement shall be made by County Surveyor and filed in his office, cost to be paid out of the county treasury. That when change of grade is neces sary shall draft the best plan or make a sur-ey for necessary rc -laying and exhibit the same to court, the court shall then appoint three men not resi dents to view and re locate and the matter shall then proceed as now al ready provided."
