FRIDAY, MARCH 29. ,S9S-
A bill has been introduced in .the
Senate to permit the use offish bai
Vpts in the streams of the State, in
September and October. It ought to
be defeated.
Representative Fritz made a speech
against the bill increasing the salary
of the Superintendent of Public
Printing from $2000 to $3000. His
head is level. This is no time to in
crease salaries.
Richard Vaux. a prominent citizen
of Philadelphia, died last Friday. He

State. The penalty for a violation of
this act is the loss of the state appro
piiation. If this bill becomes a law it
will impose not less than a quarter of
a million of dollars upon the tax payers
of this commonwealth.
Ttein asked bv the Star 1 ml f pend
ent representative what he thought of
senate bill No. 106, he said :
" This bill will, in the long run, in
volve still greater expense. It pro
vides that for the examination aw1

the bill becomes a law. 1 he sessions Multiply the product of four and twen-
of the r.ew court will be held in Phila- tv-six by the number of counties, and
impair the efficiency of an office which
is the characteristic feature of our
common school system. Whilst it is
the ostensible aim of the bill to put
graduates of the high schools and
academies on a level with those of the
ormal schools in reality it puts them
above the graduates of both colleges
and normal schools. College gradu
ates must have taught three years
before the state superintendent is al
lowed to issue to them permanent
certificates. The student who passes
the final examination before the stale
board at a normal school gets a certi
ficate good for two years, and only
after two years of successful teaching
does hs receive the permanent certifi
cate known as the state normal school
diploma. The bill in question pro
vides that the graduates ot high
schools and academies shall receive a
certificate equal to the normal school
diploma as soon as they have passed
an examination in the branches of
normal school course.
" Legislation should aim to confine
the schools of each class to their
specific work. Senate bill, No. 206,
will tend to brincing greater contusion
into the school system, abridge the
functions of the county superintend
ents, lift high school graduates above
those of the colleges and normal
schools, and add largely to the ex
pense of the state eovernment. Doth

The Presidential boom of Governor
' Hastings is growing, and his friends
are confident that the Pennsylvania

movement is to be started in all por

will be a formidable candidate for the

ENGLISH WAGES.
The following letter from London
appeared in last Sunday's Philadelphia
I'ress:
"The astonishing statement was
officially made in the course of the
great strike in the boot trade here this
wee that the price paid in England
to operatives are in many cases double
those in the United States.
"A large consignment of American
made shoes was received lately at
Northampton, the centre of the indus
try here, and the following statement
was made as to the cost of manufac
ture : 'The amount paid to operatives
in America for lasting, putting on sole
and heel by hand is 8 34d ; in North
ampton, 1 s 6d; for sewing in welt and
stitching, in America, 2d; in North
ampton, 5d ; for finishing, in America,
6 34d ; in Northampton, tid; total
cost of workmanship in America, is,
5 i-2p ; in Northampton, 2s, lod.
This allows a cargo of boots to be
freighted across the Atlantic and sold
here for less than good3 of the same
quality can be made here.
"These facts have been made known
for a long time to the English employ
ers, and they have tried to introduce
the American method of manufacture,
but without success because of the re
fusal of the trade union to allow any
departure from the old fashioned pro
cedure.
"Americans wo'k in teams of eight
or ten persons and each one confines
himself to some particular part of the
process ; in England not more than
three or four are allowed to work in a
team and each one has to do differ
ent kinds of work. 'Ihe changing of
tools and the difficulty involved in the
adaptation of the eye and the hand to
fresh work limit the power of produc
tion nere as compared with the Amen
can method, yet in 1803, when this
question was brought by the employers
before the national conference, the
trades unionists refused to consider it.
The practical result is that America is
increasing her imports every year, not
only to England, but also to the Brit
ish possessions in distant parts of the
world."
At this season, moro emphatically than at any other,
we should build for tho future.
"When Nature gives vitality to field and wood, there
should be the harmony of renewed lifo and energy in our
physical systems.
But, on tho contrary, we find ourselves weak, dull,
tired. This is because in tho winter we have been,
housed-up In poorly ventilated offices, homes and shops,
our blood has become thin and impure, and is unequal to
the demand of the body for moro life, moro vigor, more
energy, more strength.

You undoubtedly need a good Spring Medicine.

Ire familiar facta to the Immediate f riendi
of Mr. Qeo. A. Zlrkle, ichool teacher, of
Mt. Iloreb, Tenn., very well known
throughout the county where he was
born and has alwayi lived. It Illustrates
the wonderful power ot Hood's Barsapa
rllla over all diseases of the blood. Bead It:
" I believe in Hood's Sarsaparilla. I will
tell you why. I have suffered from in
herited scrofula from childhood. When 37
years ot sge my eyes became
Strangely Affected,
f could not read after sunset, and when
would close my eyes I could not open
them; but on whichever side I lay on that
aids I could open my eye. This condition
continued about two years, and was auc
ceeded by sn Intolerable itching sU over
my body and limbs I had to have my
little boys take shoe brushes and scratch
me. It was dreadful. It continued
month and was followed Immediately bys
tumor in the right side of my neck a large
w a small egg. I took physicians' pre
scriptions till I lost hope. In the mean
time the tumor changed its place to the
Immediate front ot my neck, suppurated
and was followed by others, till six had
formed snd broken.
" Finally, three years ago, another large
tumor seated itself on the point ot my col
lar bone and in six months another half
way back on the bone. Both of them soon
began to discharge and continued to do so
till about seven months sgo. I tried every
thing, including prescriptions. I was often
so weak that I could scarcely walk and my
mind was so confused that I could scarcely
attend to my business (school teaching)
I was utterly discouraged. And now ny
story draws to close. I began the use of
flood's Sarsaparilla a little less thsn s year
ago, and took five bottles. When I began
I had no faith in it. In less than 8 months
Both th Sores

ot a troublesome catarrh; snd scrofulous
habit has steadily grown less apparent
weigh more than I ever did In my life and
am in ths best of health considering my
constitution. Do you wonder that I be
lieve In Hood's Sarsaparilla T I can do no
less than recommend it everywhere."
I Geo. A. Zirkle, Mt. Horeb, Tenn.
" We have used Hood's Sarsaparilla fox
our little boy, who had a running sore on
one of his limbs. He had suffered from
for ons and a halt years He took
seven bottles of Hood's Barsapiuilla and
ths soy is all healed and he is now well.
Hood's Barsaparllla cleansed his blood snd
