The so-called ex-President, Tl. B.
Hayes, has this year, it is said, 2(50 acres
of wheet, 275 acres of oats, and ten acres
cf misccllaneons crops, on his big farm
in Dakota, and it'is thought he will re

years longer, it has been suggested that
Sir. Hayes will be in a condition to re

AVe know the '"Major"' thoroughly and
are strongly impressed with the belief
that what ho don't know about running
a clerkship so as to miike it pay, is not
worth tho effort to find out. It will be
in order for some Democratic member
of the next Legislature to ask the Secre

was permitted to abandon his post of

which we have serious doubts, and
whether he pocketed the salary for the

At Fredonia, Kansas, on Saturday
last, Cl.as. Kultuke was tried, for the
fifth time, for a violation or the prohib
itory liquor law, and as usual, the jury
disagreed. !N'ews of this kind is fre
quently telegraphed from other towns
in Kansas, and yet Gov. St. John, of
that State, never fails in his speeches
outside of Kansas to tell his hearers that
the Kansas constitutional amendment
against tLe sale of liquor is being suc
cessfully enforced by the courts and ju
ries. It should ie remembered, 'how
ever, that ex-Governor Robinson, of that
relate, who is a R. -publican and a strict
touiperatiee ma:i,savd in a published let
ter j"n.'1 months ago that St. John was
riding tLe temperance hobby in Kansas
to promote 1. is ow n political interests,
and that lie wouldn't talk at a lie if it
suited. bis purpose. The workings of the
prohibitory liquor law in Kansas do not,
from all we m learn about it, differ

Mis Fasst Pahnf.lt., sister of
Charles Stewart Parnell, died suddenly
rear Berdentown, X. J., on yesterday
week, fxcm paralyses of the heart. She
was ttntv-eight ars of age, and was
born in Ireland. iie had earned for
licrself a p'a-ce in the tearts of her coun
trymen Rod country wemen by her active
.r,riectiofj mith the Ladies' Rand
Jxaco. rfistlBct from that which she
a'nirwd through her distinguished Lrs
ther, thg Irbh leader, iiiie made, Irish
ftfairs, and especially the Irish land
creation, her constant study ; and wrote
about them toth 1n prose and verse with
a ridy, intelligent and forcible pen. It
was dontt!rs her tireless activity in
tndiaif of t.'ie cause of her dear bat cp-pres-l
Ire.n J that hastened her to a
prem.iture f;rave. Our readers are .al
ready aware that her mother is a
daughter of the late Commodore Chas.
wart, "Old Ironsides," as he was fa
miliarly called, of the American Xavy.
Miss Fanny resided with Jher mother in
the old Stewart mansion in the vicinity
of Hordentown. Her funeral took place
on Monday and was largely attended by
deputations representing the different
brato-beti of the League in nnd around
the city of .New York, in New Jersey

The Craw ford county system of mak
ing Democratic nominations for county
oflicea will be put to its second test in
this county thiee weeks from to-morrow
The primary elections held under it last
year for tho first time, resulted in the
nomination f a ticket which gave more
than usual -satisfaction, and wassuppor
ted with the utmost cordiality. We
are not now and never were specially
wedded to the system, but we have al
ways been in favor of giving it a fair
and full chance in order-to see what vir
tue there is in it before any hasty effort
is made to supplant it. There was no
allegation of fraud at last year's primar
ies on the pait of any of the officers who
conducted the elections, nor was there
any illegal voting, and everv man's bal
lot was counted just as he had cast it.
It is true that after the return judges
declared the result, one of the candi
dates for County Commissioner insisted.
a3 he had a right to do, that the return
from Wilmore, so far as he was concern
ed, was incorrect, and that the final
footing up of the vote was erroneous:
j but a thorough inspection ot every one
j of the returns, made bv persons compe
j tent to do so, showed that none of the
I returns had been tampered with and
; that everything had been done on the
j square.
I The Democratic voters can make the
preliminary elections a success this year
I if they resolutely determine to do so.
j The first thing for them to do is to re-
fret well lii fcrc they vote, and not be car
j ried away by wild enthusiasm for the
i men of their choice, nor to permit their
( votes to be controlled by feelings of lo-
cal pride, but to vote for men who are
; admittedly qualified men who have
strong claims upon the suffrages of the
J Democracy and whose nomination, tak
, ing every possible view of the question.
1 would result in crivinj general satisfac
I tion. The Fiieemax of course espous
; es no man's candidacy, that being a mat
' ter exclusively for each voter to deter
I mine for himself. We are justified,
! however, in saying that it will be a
j grave mistake to nominate both candi
J dates for the Legislature from the same
j part of the county, and some fears are
i entertained that such a result is pospi
i ble. The dividing line of the county is
' usually referred to as "Xorth." and
"South," and evet since the county has
been entitled to two members the rule
; has been to give one to each section,
i and any other decision now would be
; attended with serious and it maybe dis-
astrons consequences, W'e rleem it our
I duty to liring this matter to the careful
, consideration of the Domocraov of the
! county now. so that they may reflect up
, on the possibility of such a contingency
j Tf such should 1u the result a desire for
the Swires of the ticket, ought and we
j think would induce (he lon-rt in vote of
' the two nominated candidates to with-"
i draw from tho contest, his place on the
! ticket to bo filled bv the candidate from
the other section of the county who rel
: ceived the highest vofp. We trust, hnw
; ever, thnt no mistake of the kind will be
. committed that every Democrat, wil
! interest himself in going; to the elect jon,
and that a ticket will be put in nomina'
; tion that will receive the willing and
earnest support of every Democrat in
! the county.
General. Reaver made a speech at
; Rristol. Rucks county, in the early part
; of last we'-k. in tho course of which ho
. said li would 'be glad to answer any
; questions. Whereupon Mr. Harold
; Pierce, tho son of u wealthy merchant of
; that place, remarked : "General, I shall
! not vote the Republican ticket, but will
vote for the independent candidates, un
' less T am satisfied that your administra
tion will not be organized in the interest
of Cameron." Reaver replied that the
question was a very fair one and assert
, ed that he had made no pledges to any
man, and after some other remarks said:
"Don Cameron, my friends, is not a big
i man, but a very little man." It is very
j strongly suspected that Reaver has ati
i thority from Cameron to talk in this
j way about him, in order to neutralize
any bad effect Cameron's ownership of
him might have on his chances for elec
j tion. Re that as it may, no more accur
ate estimate of Don Cameron was ever
I made than this one by General Reaver.
! He is a small man in every aspect in
f which he can be viewed. All that he
i now is, is simply due to his enormous
wealth. Money and not brains, is the
j power with which he works, aided by
j that other powerful lever, the official
I patronage accorded to him in this State
j as a member of the Senate. How did it
i hapien, however, that Reaver.who looks
upon himself as a big man, allowed that
i "very little man," Cameron, so eom
jpletelyto control him at tho Chicago
, convention as to coerce him into a vio
i lation of his instructions to vote for
Rlaine bv snpjioitin Grant ? Reaver's
i denial of his subserviency to Cameron
; comes too late. It was patent to everv
body at the Chicago convention; it was
, equally so when at, Cameron's dictation,
. a rear ago last winter, he became a can
didate for TT. S. Senator, in place of Har
; ry Oliver, who couldn't get votes enough
: to elect him ; and it was again manifes
ted when, accoiding to Reaver's own
admission he went to Washington after
Congress met to learn from Cameron
whe'her he would oppose his nomination
for Governor. Tf a very small man
1 could thus play the boss over Reaver,
i can any one make a mis'ake In estima-
ting J unes A. Reaver at his true worth?
A man can't 8-jlect the place of his
birth, and because Robert F. Pattison,
the Democratic candidate for Governor,
happened to be born in Snow Hill,
Maryland, Tom (Toujhm-, chairman of
Reayer's State Committee, with a mind
capacious of such expedients, is endea
oring. on account of the accident of his
birth, to excite against Mr. Pattison a
feeling of hostility, such as the dema
gogues of the Cooper strips twenty-eight
years ago succeeded in stirring up
against foreigners and especially against
Catholics, Cooper says the people of
the State never ought to ana never have
elected a man to the office of Governor
who was not born on its soil, teing ig
norant of i he fact that Benjamin Frank
lin, who liih-,i the place, though under a
different tit h, was born in Boston. It
is gratify iui t know tnat the resect
able j.riion of the Republican pres. re
fient Cooper's effort to revive the accur
sed spirit of KnowO;Uiingism and con
demn it iu most vigorous terms. How
fortunate for Mr. Pattison it is that his
father was a wrll-knon Methodist
clergyman of Philadelphia, because if
that was not the fact Cooper would now

J TLAIS FACTS.
i FIGURES Til AT T0 NOT LIE TAXPAT-
ERS CAN UNDERSTAND TIIIS
j ARGUMENT.
1 The Republican party came into pow
I er in this State in 1361, and the cost of
j the State government then was SO-trt.-
911,83. exclusive ot interest ana reduc
tion of debt.
The Republican administration of
Gov. Curtin, with all the enormously
increased expenditures of war and the
highest inflation of values known in i
this age.increased the state expenditures j
to only ?l,531,4',.r,7 in 18Go,
In 1SG' the Cameron machine en
trenched itself in the republican citadel
and for fifteen years it has been supreme
in every channel of Republican power in
the State. With it came reckless profli
gacy ; the creation of offices for favor
ites ; the lavish waste of public money
to reward partisan henchmen, and the
absolute subordination of integrity and
manhood to the cohesive power of pub
lic plunder.
In 1.70. after three vear3 of machine
rule in the State, the annual expendi
ture in the time of peace, had grown to
?2 22S,S70.'27.being an increase ot 1,31
0")S.4i over the expenses when the party
assumed power, and an increase of 797,
430.50 over the expenditures under Gov.
Curtin. with the extraordinary demands
of war to meet.
But the profligacy of boss government
was not content with the expenditure
of 170, The Auditor General's report
sh ows that, the cost of the State govern
ment for 13S0. including its share for
the Legislature, foots up the enormous
amount of 24.SG'2.105.."O, bein? more
than the entire, cost of the government
in isnn. when the Republican party first
attained power
This expenditure does not embrace
either interest or principal of the public
deot. It is simply the regular annual
expenditure of the State government.
There is a legitimate increase in the
schools and judiciary, made by the con
stitution, but that is little more than
half a million, and the other expendi
tures are mainly or wholly the creation
of machine legislation.
The people of Pennsylvania have late
ly been carefully leading and consider
ing the record made by Controller Pat
tison in Philadelphia, and they have
learned that his entry into the Control
ler's office dated the beginning1 of the
practical reform that has chaneed the
city from a ?2.3." tax rate and three
millions annual increase of debt, with
little or no improvements, to a 51.05 tax
rate, an annual surplus of a million,
and substantial improvements in every
department, and that is just the sort of
an administration they want in Penn
sylvania. Mr. Jacob R. Shipiierd. whose name
some of our readers may remember of
having beard mentioned in connection
with Mr. Rlaine's remarkable diplomacv
in South America, obliges the Associated
Press with a pamphlet of nearly a hun
dred paees in length containing what
he desctibes as his 'rejected testimony, '
This testimony the long-suffering House
Committee of Foreign Affairs positively
refused to listen to about the middle of
May last, and Mr. Shipherd thereupon
offered it "for a consideration" to the
Associated Press, intimating that it
would be found to contain certain lost
"documents" affecting President Gar
field, and other matters of interest. The
press wisely declined to purchase a pig
in a poke, but if Mr. Shipherd's object
was to get his "rejected testimonv" rend
he made a great mistake in not present
ing it theh as he now presents it to the
Associated Press. In this case the old
proverb "better late than never." must
be reversed. Mr. Shipherd's "rejected
testimony," adds absolutely nothing to
the record either of our relat ions with
Chili and Peru or of the preposterous
claim out of which Shipherd and his as
sociates extracted and developed the
huge imposture of their-Pernvian Com-
, pany. In fact it is not "testimony" at
I all. It is a farrago of Shipherd's opin
j ions and sentimentsabo-.it other peonle
I and especially alwut ex-Secretary Rlain.
As the committee has closed its proceed -t
ings bv declining to liear a snoplemen
; tary statement from Mr. Blaine, the re
j jectcd testimony of to-day would pro
i ha bl v entail upon the press an awful ob
j ligation to publish Blaine's "rejected
, testimony" to-morrow. The line must
i be drawn somewhere with witnesses ap
' parent ly so inexhaustible. We draw it
j where the tribunal does, at "rejected
j testimony." Blaine is not neeifci to
j prove Shipherd a wind bag norshipherd
happily to prove Blaine a wind bag.

I
j "A Lie Xaileh." Some consterna
; tion was created at the Stalwart head
j quarters yesterday by a casual remark
i of General Reaver to the effect that the
; "moon was made of green cheese." The
; three or four strangers from the country
i who dropped in during the day to report
i that there were hut eleven Independents
; in the whole State outside of Philadel
i phia and Allegheny, were dumbfounded
i when Beaver's last utterances was re
I eated to them by Cooper. The chair
: man was convinced lefore the lay was
. over, that the great No Man's Man had
j made another mistake, which must le
j rectified without unnecessary delay. So
J a despatch was sent to Reaver, who had
j meanwhile left the city, and la'e in the
! evening came the following : "I did not
I mean, of course, that the moon is aeMi
j ally made if green cheese. What I
i meant to say was that 'if the moo.i vas

A DEPLORABLE POSITION.
General Beaver's chance of election is
so exceedingly slim that one cannot help
feeling a great deal of sympathy for him
in the many trials and troubles through
which he is marching to his coming
death and burial. It is. at best, not a
very comfortable thing to run for Gov
ernor. It involves the expenditure of a
great deal of cash and energy in a verv
hot time in the year. When a candi
date is bouyed wpwith a decent hope he
may go into the fight quite cheerfully if
he is of the kind that loves office, as he
probably is, or he would not have been
nominated. But when he lias no hope
at all his position must be unenviable.
Beaver, it is true, pretends to be hope
ful, and even hazards the prediction that
he w ill have fifty thousand plurality. It
is not possible to think that he believes
what ho says ; he can't be such a fool.
He must know that his position is des
perate and be miserable accordingly.
Of course his friends in the regular
ranks try to keep his spirits up by assur
ance that they will put him through ;
and of course thev mean to if they can.
There is no doubt that Senator Camer
on and his supporters will do all they
can to sustain what is a fight for their
political existence. So far as money and
management may avail to success they
will be freely and assiduously used.
But in this exigency they won't go far
enough, even if there were no mistakes
made ; and even this early in the cam
paign General Beaver has shown a wo
ful lack of sagacity to say nothing of his
venturing so near the truth as to say
that his boss was a small man, meaning
he says, physically, while every one
thinks its true every way he has just
succeeded in arraying himself against
the orderly element in the Clearfield
coal region by sending his lieutenant
over there to bail some of the law break
ing Knights of Labor, thinking to se
cure the votes of that organization. Un
luckily for him, but a small part of them
have votes, while the people who are in
terested in the prosperity of the region
and an uninterrupted business, have
votes and influence. In holding on rto
the one side Beaver let slip the other,
and failed to show any alarming sagacity
as a manager.
It is a pity a wounded soldier should
get so knocked about, as the General is,
in the home of his friends as well as his
foes. We do really think that the Inde
pendents who go up to him and tell him
to his face that, they won't, vote for him
because he is Cameron's dog, ought to
have more consideration. To vote
against him and defeat him is bad
enough ; to defeat him and vote him a
cur is too hard. A wounded soldier
should not be treated like a dog. Lan

Star TIot te Secpets The admission hy
Judge Wylie, of the testimony of Walsh,
who was the hanker and go-between of the
Star route swindlers of high and low degree,
resulted in some refreshing disclosures.
Walsh told on the witnessstand prettymueh.
the same st"ry that came out in the New
York Il-rnhi interview, heretofore referred
to in the i'ovf.
(J-eneral Brady, who aided in stealing
Florida from Tilden in 1S76. and came to
Garfield's relief in 1SS0, in resnonse to he
"dear Iluhhell" letter of the "Martyied Pres
ident," looms up quite conspicuously in
Walsh's testimony. At the time Brady" was
manatrine the IVistoffiVe Department under
T-.raudulent Hayes, with "errinf brother
Keyes" as a (ienre-head.
Walsh testified on Friday last that he bad
an interview with Rradv at the 7tofne de
partment in 1SS0. in which Brady claimed
thirty-six thousand dollars for having "ex
pected" Walsh's route, informed Walsh
that he had been assessed eight thousand
dol'ars for the "Congressional corruption
fund" and that fines to the extent of five or
six thousand dollars had been remitted in
his favor : reminded Walsh, when tha latter
demurred to these demands, that lie "must
he dull of apprehension if he imagined such
thinns were done for fun." and flnady told
him that he did "not understand the' busi
ness" and hud better ect out of the mail ser

Thb Washington Tost is authority for the
statement that Mr. William C'alver, a mining
expert, haw received a patent for an inven
tion which Fin. ply consists ff an arrange
ment whereby the rays of the sun are reflect
ed from any number of mi-mr upon a com
mon focus. Happening to direct the light
from twoordinaty looking glasses upon the
same surface he noticed that the resultant
neat was about doubled. lie proceeded
with his experiments, and succeeded in le
ducing wood to ashes and metal to a liquid
state by simply concentrating upon tbem the
n fleeted light of the sun from twenty small
mirrors with flat sui faces. The principle is
an nnexplainable one. It has never hither

sunlight upon another increased the heat
