R. Cook Jr, of the Philadelphia J'rtst, was here several days, working up the Hastings end. and V. F. Andrew, ex-chairman of the Republican state committee, was in town on Monday, bolstering up the Quay workers. The two Roanngcreek delegates to the Republican convention ihd not answer to their names when the roil was called, and were not in the con vention. An effort was made to secure substitutions, but this failed, as the committee on credentials pro r.-jneed the substitutions forgeries, The persons named in the alleged sub stitutions were neither of them resi dents of Roaringcreek. TV President and ths Tiird Ters. Yesterday's Washington Post de clared emphatically that the President does not desire a third term ; that he would not accept a nomination if it should be orlered him, and that in elaboration of his wishes he will, at the proper time, express his views in a letter to the public This seeming ly startling statement has been widely copied, and has sent a great many of our contemporaries into a state of un restrained excitement. We regret that we do not shire this hysterical activity of the newspaper press. Trie an nouncement that the President is averse to a third term is to us a matter of no great importance. It is a que tion utterly immaterial and irrelevant to American politics, and one that we refuse to regard with any degree of seriousness. The third term panic his been lim ited for the most part to the Presi dent's political and personal enemies aid his erSce seeking or ornce-holding friends. The former element has kept up its tre through spite or for want of a better cause," while the latter contingent has been spurred on by hopes not entirely confined to the c:;ul;.i ;lv:l Heiwecn then:, these blatant blather skites have man agei to st:r up the country with their nonsensical harangues, and incident ally to misrepresent the Chief Execu tive of the r.nion. It is only fa.r. however, to say that tiwse who have u-i t'-.;? crv have represented r.rither ;ener.l sentiment of the p.vp.e no:. Preside rt. tiu wishes of the We ca nnot eve that Mr. Cieve- land has ev ion s v thought cf a third election to tne r'resiieivv. He is, to be sure, a man o: ambition, of pertinacity, of d.stir -uishe '. ibiiitv. and of m little self i:v.pj::ace ; but neither ere :. r a'.i of tr.ce qualities could lei-4 him to imagine for a moment that tne American people ?.e ready or willing to reverse tne precedent established by Washington. So far as the country is concerned, the present Administration has been dst sorutshew f;r decercv. d:;iitv and uousual executive ability." It has served the whole country well. Vet, w;:h a'-l reject for the head of the uov;mn;r.:. are c. to think that a-'ter March 4. io;, the nation will mange to worn- along ::h some o-e else in the Presidential chair. As for the De-nocratic party, we have never shared the belief that the Demo-c-acy wouli be seriously incapacitated ir. case one or t-o u:a should die. Sew Epe-t for Eiiiirg.

The Knife TTc'heathed. 1 no rv.ot yestcMay cives with a sensational double Column dis what purports to be a chapter of noli ileal hisiory telling the story of the causes which led to the present fact lonal dispute between Senator Quay and It over nor lustincs. It is doubt less from the itrtof Colonel Lambert who fills the double role of a Cabinet orrer a1 stiff i-' i..-, and it may be accepted as an official presentation of the dispuu ftw.ii tli- administration standpoint. 1 r.e nota'oie teature ot this semi official declaration is that the scalping kniveo are unsneatr.ed, and the battle is made a f.ht to the death. Senator Quav is placed in the position of dependent ana a mercenary' at every stage of the dispute, and a public order is given that he must not only be defeated but e'iimin?ted from the Republican power of the State. This semi oilicial statement charges c-ena:or vjuay with having been re pulsed in personal efforts to make terms, first with Maror Warwick, next with I.obbvist Martin and then with Governor Hastings, all of whom re pulsed him without ceremony, and al of whom are now banded together not so much for the re-election of Chairman Gilkeson as to knock down and drag out Senator Quay as a Re publican factor Pennsylvania. It has been evident to intelligent observers of the contest for some days past that there can be no compromise between the beligerent Republican factions of the State before the meet ing of the convention. Quay has been placed in a position by his opponent that absolutely forbids any concession on his part, unless he is willing to ac cept dishonor, and any compromise thithe could no nuke that would retire him as a candidate for chair man of the State committee would be a public confession that his politi cal mastery was ended, and that a new denomination was enthroned whose first article of faith is his destruction. He is thus compelled to accept the battle as a fizht to finish, and it is openly declared by his opponents that tney have deliberate.) chosen to nuke adjustment impossible. I his now settled aspect ot the tactional con tlict will be inspiring news to the vania. It is Democrats of Pennsyl notice to them that the election of six Democratic Superior Court Judges is quite within the ran-e of possibility. But it brings piration to tens of thousands of Republican voters in Pennsylvania as weU. This is a safe year for party puii ca::on, and even if the tempest hould come the party could regain us unity in a healthier atmosphere in time for the important national elec- ion of 1S95. There are scores of thousands of Rupublicans in Phila de'phia alone who will rejoice to see this factional fight made a war to the death, for that must mean the utter and final overthrow of Lobbyist Mar in and Contractor Porter 3s political asters. For th:s issue a l.i-ge pro v-i-?-,-.n cf tne Republicans of this city are not only ready but they are anxious to have i: precipitated upon them. With Quav's friends controlling the party organisations in two-thirds or more of the counties of Fer.ns!vania, :d with his friends making irreat battles ia the centres where all the advantages of power are aga;nst them, the defeat of Quay in the'State Con vention by a vindictive majority led by professional lobbyists under the Id :.i the Governor would disrupt party organization from centre to c.;cu Q aa , n:'er:ice. It would not require to lead in the revolution : it w;u'.d come use:!, even Quay cou'.d not hu.t it. This is the entertainment to which the enemies of Quay are inviting themselves, and all w.io a-e interested in the purifica tion of politics will welcome the issue as one that must produce the most beneficent results. The knife is un sheathed a-d the battle death. P.h;:a. Tiws. is to the Secretary of Agriculture Edge will issue a bulletin this fall devoted entire ly to commercial fertilizers, their use, composition, value and practical re suits. Circulars have been sent out by the agricultural department to many cf the leading and most practi cal farmers in the state asking them to furnish the result of their experience with fertilizers upon crops produced on their farms. The bulletin wdl be used for reference and as it will not be for advertising purposes no special brand or make cf fertilizers will be mentioned. Each one who contri butes to the bulletin will receive a copy gratuitously. Secretary Edge is also preparing a bulletin showing the average price of farm products in the several legislative districts of the state. At last an expedition of some im portance has departed for Cuba. Five hundred men in an armored fast ves sel with quantities of arms and ammu nition are steaming to the island to land men and munitions. But why land these ? A vessel such as this is said to be could perform active ser vice with these men. particularly as there is a United States naval ex officer on board. The revolution is assuming an aspect far different from that o( a few months ago, and the insurgents have shown their right to be recognixed as beligerents. A QCABTER'S VOSTH Or GAS. NEW Yl-KK HAS r.A? Mi iLK EL EY THE INTROMIT HON" OK A COIN The nickel in-tl.e-s'ot gas nacliin has worked so su: c; !ul!y in Lor-d that it has been introduced in New- York city. This is the first introdu uon 01 mis uiea in .Aiii-nca, it is called the prepamcnt mtur. Ir. the New York meter the introduction c a suver quarter is the com required to release the illuminating fluid. The mecha-iism is simple, yet delicate. The size of the coin, not its weight is what releases the machinery. For 15 cents s 00 feet of gas is secured which is at the regular rate of fi.it, per 1000. The gas need not to be used continuously. A special indica- tor on the face of the dial, which is supposed to show ho much gas goes through the meter, moves out to the zoo 1001 marie as soon as the com is deposited. As the gas is used, this indicator returns to the rero poin Meters of this class are placed in the consumer's room or flat, so that the number of feet still to be burned mav be seen at a glance at the dial. The machine is so arranged that two, three or four quarters mav be placed in the slot, and thus 400, 6oo or 1000 feet of gas purchased. The meter will register and give credit for 200 feet of gas every time a coin of the proper dimension is paced in the receiver. Mr. Doane said to a IVorlJ re porter that the matter of the value of the com to be used in New York was seriously considered for several months before the quarter was adopted. The cost of collection, as the meters must be visited at stated intervals bv em- ployes of the company, is as great for nickels or dimes as for quarters, and this one fact determined the question. Should there appear in the future a demand for a smaller system of pay ment, there are a number of meters i'n the market to choose from. Less than tco of the slot meters are in use in the city at present, owing to the lact that no special effort has Deen ma3e to push them. Thev have proved so satisfactory, however, both to consumer and producer, that their general use by all small concerns will be urged in the future, but not insist- d upon. A quarter will illuminate an ordinary four-room and kitchen flat for one week. Thrc-gdi the State. Hazleton is to h have a r.e.r brewery to cost $100,000.

" The sentiment of the iudzes of the superior court concerning this provision of the law," said Judge McCarty vesterday. "was decidedly in favor of conductin; the business of he court with as little expense as possible to the counties where the court shall go. Although there is authority for the establishment cf se parate court houses, the judges felt that they would much rather put up with considerable personal inconven- ence than to impose any additional burden on the taxpayers." rrangeaient have been made to use the supreme court rooms in this city, and existing court rooms in the lour other cities, and the ludjes are arnest in the desire not to entail anv 11:,: t . . . iuu.iiun.i expense on me counties.

No other place can compare with Southern New Jersey in seaside re sorts, e.ther in point of number or of excellence. Atlantic City is the roost popular resort in America, and Cape May, Sea Isle City, Ocean City, Ava lon, Anglesea, Wildwood, and Holly Eeach do not fall far shcrt of Atlantic City's high standard. The Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany, whose constant object is to give its patrons the cheapest rates com rvtiHle wi'h find service, has arranged for two exc-jrsions to the seashore, Thursday, August 1 and 15, from Kar.e, Hauphia, and intermediate stations ; stations on the Lewistown Division ; North and West Branch; Le-v;si:u;,- cr.d Tyrone Pivs'?n, and Ba.i Eagle Valley Railroad: Shair.okir.

It is about one fourth larger than Massachusetts, but has considerably oer i.cco.c so peo ple, or as many as Nebraska, or more than twice as many as South Dakota, or more than twenty times as many as Nevada, which is more than ten times as big as Maryland. Nearly one hall of those live In the great city of Balti more. But, says the New York WorM very truly, there are other things for which Maryland is noted. The District of Columbia was once a part of the state of Maryland. The canva.-back duck and the diamond back terrapin, considered the greatest delicacies of the American table, are found in their highest excellence around the shores of the Chesapeake bay in this state. The most famous troops of the Revolutionary war came from Mary land. The Mary land brigade made a record that is almost unparaJied. Many of the most famous of the darinz privateers in the second war with Great Britain were built and manned at Baltimore, and the fastest of all sailing ships the clipper took their came from the city cf their origin, Baltimore.
