The willingness of certain demo crats to be quoted on the Venezue lan situation is another evidence of the unreliability of that party. The increase of the appropriation for free seeds from 8270,(MM) to $300,000 merits the condemnation of every intelligent citizen regard less of party. Jim Tillman! Isn't that a name to point a moral and adorn a tale. Self-will, bluster, political obli quity, lying and murder, and all in defense of his "honor''!

(Philadelphia Press.l Judge Elliott Rodgers, of the j Allegheny Common Pleas, did a j few evenings ago what would have been impossible to any judge on (he bench in Philadelphia. He presid | ed over a partisan political meeting [ in his ward. But what attracted most atten tion to the action of Judge Rodgers was a speech he made directly charging that Citizens' candidate for Mayor in Allegheny had been willing to withdraw from the can vass for a stated amount of money. The judge has been pretty severely criticised for this on the ground that as a judge he might have to pass upon the charge against the candidate for Mayor. This criti cism, of course, comes largely from the friends and supporters of the candidate in question. The general criticism of Judge Rogers, however, is based upon the fact, that he attended a partisan ward meeting and was the most active participant in the proceed ings. There is no law to restrain a judge from attending political meet ings and making himself as busy as he pleases. It is a thing, however, that does not occur in this end of the State. The spirit of nonpar tisan ship in the selection of judges have been cultivated, and the judges themselves elected by the voters of all parties have responded to that spirit by refraining from all partisan actively. Their wise conduct has increased the popular respect for the judicary. That this is not the rule of con duct in some other parts of the States is probably a mattrr of en vironment. In many countiesitis j well known the judge uses his power to make himself substantially the manager of his party organiza tion. An illustration of the judge ! in politics was given in Westmore | land County a few days ago, where | in a light for control of the Demo ! cratie county organization one of ! the judges led the fuccessful faction. | Such a thing in Philadelphia would j probably drive the judges from the j bench. There is too much political activ | ity on the part of the judges in some parts of the districts. It deserves j to be frowned upon and discouraged ! by every citizen who can appreciate ' that such activity must detract from j the dignity of the bench and weaken j the popular confidence that ought j to be felt in the judiciary. The (iovernor and Apportionment. Governor Pennypacker, accord ing to all reports from Harrisburg, is very much in earnest in his desire that the present Legislature shall make a reapportionment of the senatorial and legislative districts of the State. The Constitution commands it and there is every public reason why it should be done. The representative apportion -1 nient bill presented by represeuta ! tive McWhinney, of Allegheny, is in exact compliance with the re | quirements of the Constitution. It accurately allots the representatives to the several counties according to j their population as shown by the last census anil is the disposition suggested by ''The Press" two months ago iu discussing this sub ject. No hill for a rearrangement of the senatorial districts has been presented. It is not so easy topre ' pare, but the work is by no means Imprxiklbll) and as (toveruor Pennypacker in his inaugural swept away the one petty objection that had been made to senatorial re apportionment, no doubt a measure will soon appear. Nobody pretends to give any public reason why the constitution al mandate on this subject should not be obeyed. The members of the Legislature are sworn to |MT form this duty, yet fur more tliau twenty years every Legislature has neglected to make a senatorial re apportionment, ami it i> now six teen years since the last represent ative ap|M>rtioumeut wa-made. Iu consequence tif! thisinanv sections of the State are ciijoviitg a laigcr representation than they are entitl ed 10, while other sections are wronglv deprived of their right*, thi I tt.i injustice for whi-h the lb I"' 1 1 1 '"> umjorit.s in the l.egbh, CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, igoj. ture cannot want to be responsible. The opposition to reapportion ment does not come alone from the few counties which would lose rep resentation. It comes from some who pretend to be afraid that the large cities will get an undue share of representation. This is ficti tious. Under any rearrangement all Philadelphia could possibly gain would lie two members of the House. Allegheny County would gain two Senators and eight Rep resentatives, but these would not all goto Pittsburg. Three-fifths of the increase in population in Alle ft'heny in the past ten years was in the county outside of Pittsburg, and it is to these sections the larger pro portion of the increased representa tion would go. These facts show how trilling is the pretense that the large cities would gain at the expense of the interior districts. The shifting of representation will be chiefly in the interior coun ties. Here and there a county loses a member while other counties make gains. An illustration of the injustice of allowing the pre sent apportionment to continue is shown in the case of Jefferson County, which has one member with 59,113 inhabitants, while Wayne, with 30,171 popultion, has two members; Northumberland, with 90,911, population, has two members, and Bradford, with 59,- 403 inhabitants, has three; Craw ford has three members 011 63,643 population, and Fayette has the same number on 110,412. These illustrations could be multiplied to almost any length, but that is not necessary to convince any intelli gent and fair-minded member of the Legislature that simple justice requires that there shall be some action 011 this important question. Governor Pennypacker is entire ly right in urging this constitu tional duty upon the Legislature. His earnestness in the matter ought to convince all that there must be no failure. The oath to obey the Constitution which every member takes and his obligation to the State make the course of duty a perfectly plain one.—Philadelphia Press. Low Rates to Califor nia.

I Up M Night | This getting up every night i with the baby, or some of the older children, is all wrong. Not that the children are to blame. If he's the baby, prob ably his food is wrong. Vinol will help his mother stand the strain of nursing. We have often seen whole families of older children who keep the parents awake o' nights. First one, then the other is ailing. These children seem well enough at times; but they are white, hollow-eyed, often list less, with irregular appetites, peevish and fretful, wakeful at night and constantly taking cold. The use of Vinol, in conjunc tion with Vinlax to regulate the bowels, will benefit these child ren almost in a day. There is nothing in Vinol that can hurt them. It is pleasant to take. If it doesn't do the work, we will give you the money back. L. TAGGART, DRHOGIBT. osin fm m V.
