THIRSDAV, SEPTEMBER 16, 1897. Governor Hastings has appointed William W. Porter ol Philadelphia to the Superior bench, to fill the vacancy caused by Judge Willard's resignation. There is trouble ahead in the Repu blican party. By the enforced resigna tion of Secretary of the Common wealth Reeder, and Deputy Attorney General Elkin, Governor Hastings has made an open declaration of war against Senator Quay, and it will now be a fight to the finish between the two factions. Following this action of the Governor comes the arrest of Reeder, charged with conspiracy to libel John Wanamaker, in connection with the alleged bribery cases at the arrest of VanValkenburg just before the election of Boies Penrose to the United States senatorship. Other arrests have also been made, among them being Ellery P. Ingham, ex-U. S. District Attorney, charged with offering a member of the legislature of Bradford county a bribe in the shape of an office worth $2500 a year, and to pay him two years' salary down, in return for his support ot Penrose and against Wanamaker for United States Senator. Ingham is a tool of Quay, and has always been his ardent sup porter. It was Quay's influence rather than Ingham's merit that secured the latter's appointment to a fat govern ment office. Reeder is publishing open letters to Hastings, and Elkin is giving Attorney General McCormick a dose of the same kind, and it seems to be a sort of general Republican wash day when all the political soiled linen is being brought out and hung up to the public gaze. When politicians begin to tell tales on each other in public, the people always find some thing out. Altogether the Republican family in this state is having a monkey and parrot of a time, and if the Dem ocrats derive no advantage from this quarieL, it will be only because of a lack of able leadership and common sense. There must be unity in our ranks, and with it we can whip the enemy next year. IlkiDS Resigns. Another change was made in Gov ernor Hastings' cabinet on Friday last by the resignation of John P. El kins, Deputy Attorney General. Col onel W. F. Reeder, of Bellefonte, was named as his successor. The letter received by the Deputy Attorney General from his chief was couched in the same language as that in which Governor Hastings asked for the resignation of Secretary Reeder. Mr. Elkins sent in his resignation Friday night and it was promptly ac cepted. Before resigning he sent a letter to General McCormick asking for the reasons which demanded his resignation. In reply the Attorney General gave the Deputy's part in the $20,000 bond scandal as the cause of his enforced retirement. High License, Surely. Oregon has hit upon a new expedi ent to keep her citizens sober. Every man who drinks is obliged to take out a license, costing five dollars a year, and unless armed with this document he cannot be served with liquor at any saloon or hotel. Every six months the names of the persons who take out the liceuse are to be published in the local newspapers, so that the pub lic may know who they are, and those who are not authorized to drink. This is certainly a unique plan and some what startling. As an item of interest to justices of the peace, we note that the late Legis lature amended the law so that in an appeal from any judgment, the party appealing must make affidavit that his appeal is not intended to delay the case, but that he believes that in justice has been done. Heretofore this was necessary only in claims for labor ; it now applies to all cases where appeal is taken. It has been wisely said that 44 had the Dingley bill only been in force before the idea of Labor day struck the originator of it, there would have been no need for any legal holiday of that kind. Under Republican admin istrations, a day set apart on which all might work would be hailed with de light by the laboring elass. The Bazleton Tragedy. Collision between bodies of the people, whether citizens or aliens, and the civil authorities must ever be an omalous under a free government 1 and the conflict at Hazleton is not simply anomalous, it is deplorable in whatever aspect it may be viewed, and most of all in the loss of life which has resulted therefrom. The situation is one which never should have arisen in a government of the people by the people. Having arisen, its larger lessons are for the'morahsts and the teachers of society its im mediate and practical duties are for the authorities, and they are too plain to admit of discussion. The first duty of the State is to re store and maintain order. This will not be a difficult matter to do. The Governor has been commendably prompt, and his action in calling on the military power has doubtless been tha means of saving many lives. Ri oters invariably have a wholesome re spect for organized forces 1 nor will the terrible lesson of Friday afternoon be without effect in giving pause to turb ulence. The reign of order being re-estab lished, the next duty of the authori ties will be to investigate the shoot ing. It would be worse than useless to subject the act of Sheriff Martin to critical scrutiny until a calmer public mood shall have set in which will make it possible to sift the truth from the mass of contradictions. At one meeting in Hazleton the shooting has been condemned ; at another upheld. And so it goes. The actual truth cannot be gotten at until the whole matter shall have been looked into to the bottom with the judicial eye. It may be that the Sheriff was hasty. It may be that he was not the man for the emergency. One thing is certain shooting should ever be the last rescrt ; it is only defensible in cases ot extremity w'.iich admit of no other alternative. Another lesson made all the more couspicuous by the tragedy is that the marching to and fro of bodies of men who proceed from mine to mine for the purpose of coercing workmen to drop their picks and fall in line is a species of disor der involving grave menace to the public peace and to the lives of citi zens, and one to which the civil au thorities cannot afford to be indiffer ent without dereliction of duty. The admonitions of the tragedy are, therefore, alike tor the authorities and for those whom circumstances have made inimical to established or der ; and duly heeded, as lessons given with such terrible impressiveness deserve to be, their effect should be to forever make impossible within the confines of our State a repetition of the saddening scene at Hazletun. rtiila.. Record. WETLER'S RA.VAGE IN CUBA- General Weyler has at last an nounced his war policy. What it has been has been seen time and time again, but not until now has it come from his own lips. He told it at the palace to the high officers, who re ceived him when he returned from the field, and here is how he told it : "I am not afraid," said General Weyler, "of the charges made against my administration. I do not try either, to win the title of a humane general War is war, and I came here to make war. a relentless, pitiless war against the enemies ot Spain. "I never understood the wisdom of governing with a slack hand a rebel people, and so well known was my opinion in this matter that as soon as my coming to Cuba'as Captain Gen eral was announced all the covert enemies of Spain who lived here among us emigrated in haste to the United States. Had they had noth ing to fear they would have stayed, as others did, among the loyalists. was glad, then, of knowing it. I was glad that they knew me. "I know, also, that the feeling of hostility against Spain is deeply root ed in this country. I have done only my duty in trying to extirpate it, What means all the outcry against my decree ordering the concentration of the pacificos ? Only that it was a military measure favorable to Spain It is not my fault if hundreds or thou sands of people have to die from the effects of a military measure. I did not provoke this war. The revolu tionists cast the die, and they must stand the consequences. To meet the guerrilla warfare the Cubans wage against the royal army of Spain I had to cut off all communication between the insurgent bands and the towns. Such communication allowed the in surgent bands to provide supplies for themselves in the towns to carry on their desultory warfare. "The pacificos were a link between the town conspirators and the insur gents. I have severed that link That is all. I am not responible for the consequences of a dire but urgent measure imposed by the war. "I believe that the magnanimity o Spain is so great and the injustice of the revolution so extraordinary that the insurgents and their abettors do not deserve any consideration. For her loyal subjects Spain has reforms for the rebels, what they like, war." That frank exposure of his feelinsis meets with the enthusiasm of the ttn comnromisinir Srunish Dress. A stanch Conservative journalist writes : "lieneral Weylcr is compared in e United States with the Duke of Alva, and that is but an acknowledg- ent of his merits. The Duke of Alva was a great general. He made ar with fire and sword in the Netherlands, but he did not lose the Netherlands for Spain. It was the Duke of Parma who lost them after im with a milder policy." 80IEHTIFI0 AND INDUSTRIAL. Germany now has electric light tn over 1,000 postal cars, and Austria is about to adopt the same system. A Frenchman has patented a de vice whereby passengers may be land ed in safety from railway trains run ning at full speed. Coal tar, when used for dyes, yields sixteen shades of blue, the same num ber of yellow tints, twelve of orange, nine of violet, and numerous other colors and shades. A method of transporting grain through iron pipes, by means of suc tion, from distant farms to the sea board, has been devised by an inven tor in Orlando, Fla. There are snails actually resem bling thorns. This species remained for a long time undiscovered, until a close observer saw one of these thorns walking around the branch. Scarlet seems to be the color most conspicuous in bright sunshine, and scarlet flowers are commonest in dry and sunny climates, where their color gives them an advantage Jn their struggle with other flowers for the at tentions of butterflies and other pollen bearers. A microscopic examination of mother of pearl shows the snell to be made up of very fine lines so closely put together that the white light is broken up into its prismatic colors. and we get the so-called "play of colors. Taking a careful cast of such a shell the wax cast will yield the same prismatic effects. A new electric invention is a sim pie device by which an electrical cur rent of high potential can be uniform ly decreased in volume or strength, or both, at the will of the operator. The instrument or apparatus is in the nature of a rheostat, and can be used whenever a graded current is desired. Eltctricitv. An eminent physician states that typhoid fever can be washed out of the system by water. He gives his patients what would amount to eight or ten ounces an hour of sterilized water. In cases of cholera, where the system secrets a large amount of fluid, enormous quantities of hot water are of great benefit. When the farmers take the trouble to consider the causes of the present demand for their corn and wheat and the enhancement of prices, they can only reach one conclusion. Two words tell the story: Short crops. The nations now buying our surplus are compelled to trade with us be cause of their own necessities, not because of any favoring disposition. At the same time that they are buying shiploads of our breadstufts we are making commercial war against them by discouraging the exchange of com modifies, except after the infliction of heavy penalties. We are only re strained from a still more offensive policy by treaty stipulations. The farmers will understand that the tariff policy of this country tends steadily to discourage the growth of our ex port trade and to thus cut them off from their markets. They owe much this year to the perversity of Nature, Dut nothing to the obstructive perver sity ot politicians. Ex. The first new from the south that yellow fever was raging there, served to friehten nearly everv American. and as an exchange puts it "there are lew nearts in these united states that will not hone and nravthat Dixie lanH will be spared any visitation of that (ireaied disease. ft3eo"ves Art the ilesfengert of Sense, the Telegraph System of the btmuin body.

SUITS FROM S18.QO. Election Board Off To Jail. Matthew McHugh, Conrad Keil- man, Michael Deegan, Charles Long acre and Charles Walker, composing the Election Board officers in the Fourth ward, South Bethlehem, on Monday pleaded guilty to violation of the election law last fall, and were each sentenced by Judge Scott to pay a fine of $200 and suffer 60 days' imprisonment. These officers ne glected to keep the numbers on the voting check list and to hie the ballot sheets with their returns. They also failed to subscribe tbeir names to their oaths. The Court held that they should have acquainted themselves with their duties, as such neglect courted elec tion contests. A Furlough to Got Married. The-Thirteenth Regiment men, who have the most undesirable quarters, those at Lat timer, varied the monotony of inactive life in the field on Tuesday by a pleasant little incident. Trivale Gibbs, of Company A, from Scrauton, had made a request for a furlough His commander was aveise to granting leave, except for rood cnuse. The " soldier bov " blushed a little, and said he had an engagement to get married the next day. 1 he furloueh was granted. When Gibbs left the camp a squad of his company, headed by a fife and drum corps. escorted him to the cars and showered lice upon him. They carried crude banners, readme: "etc Coinjj Home to be Mar ried," with other faceous legends ; sounded the .evcil e and p.ayej " 1 he Girl I Left Be hind Me." Kven this little aft ir served to show how completely overawed the strikers are by the nie.cnce of the troops The sound of the drums gathered a crowd of them within a lew moments and they watched the fun mil.i'ig with incomprehensible and fright' ened eves. A night or two ago, when tans were soumL'd in the l.attimer ca'np at 9 o'clock, the call so scared the foreigners that there was a stampede for the surrounding woods in the fear that an attack was to be made. Just try a 10c. box of Cascarets, the finest liver and bowel regulator ever made. 4 i-iy OUT OF THrToRDINARY. What was known as Maine's oldest school houee, situated in West Gar diner, was destroyed by fire recently. It was built 101 years ago.

There is an old philosopher prophet and poet in California who claims that he has solved the problem of living forever. He lived a hermit's life, eats only three times a week, and never expects to die. A St. Louis confectioner has convert ed a bicycle Into an ice cream freezer, and mounting his wheel, which, of course, U stationary, he esally freezes a seven-gallon can of Ice cream In twenty minutes. A Cambridge, Mass., woman during the recent very hot days hired a small boy with a sponge to stand at a wa. tering trough near her home and wet the heads ot all the horses aa they came up to drink. Mr. Edison once wished to test bow soon a message by telegraph could go round the world. The dispatch was sent, and in fifty minutes it came back and was put into Mr. Edison's hands as he and his friends were etlll sitting at the table. . An advertisement in a Chicago pa per reads: "I would like to communi cate with any and all persons who have had at any time in life any sort of remembrance or indication that they ever lived before in any sort of animal life on this or another globe." Cleaning Silverware, Etc. Silver and plated articles should be placed about ten minutes in the hot water In which potatoes have been bollud (with salt), and then be rubbed with a woolen rag, and rinsed in pure water, when tha articles will not only be free from tarnish, but perfectly bright. Potato-water that has become sour by standing several days answers still better .and Is also excellent for cleaning articles of steel and glass water-bottles. ltl nwuurti.i l.u.. The most wonderful cave in the world Is in the Island of Tonga, in the South Pacific. Byron called it "a chapel of the seas." It is formed in a rock thatls almost surrounded by the ocean. This rock is about sixty feet high, and broad proportionately. Many years ago a boy, the son of native chief, was chasing a huge tur tle, when his game seemed to sink into the rock. The lad watched and wait ed until the tide fell, disclosing a small opening in the rock about six feet un der low water mark. Diving boldly, tha young hunter en tered the aperture, and, to his surprise, came to the givface inside the rock. The rock was hollow, and Us interlbi .vu found afterward, when the natives explored it with torches, to contain ruauy beautiful stalactite. CORNER MAIN & MARKET SlS BLOOMSBURG PA. Fall Opening!
