W. u. Hkjckl, Cbairman. J. B Lie hit. Secretary. The ruuturg Pott, that olJ, ably cend acted aod alwayi reliable Demo cratic journal, apiwared on Monday last Id a dress of new types, stbich Ries it as bright acd clean au at'i-naraace as a new silver dollar fresh from the mint. We are graliSt-d at this renewed evi dence of the continued prosperity of the olJest U!lj Democratic paper in West ern I'eDnsy Irani. John Kelly's paper, the New York Star, baa had to yield to the hard times, and announces that it will only appear in the future as a Sunday paper. It Is aid that Kelly had very recently two good offers for the purchase of the pa per, but refused them because the would be buyers would not pledge themselves to sustain Tammany Hall and John Kelly through thick and thin. The caucus of the Republican mem bers of the Legislature to nominate Don Cameron for re-election to the U. S. Senate, was held yesterday afternoon, too late for us to announce the result in our present issue. The opponents of Cameron, who seem to be few and far between, talk of defeating him with A. M. Brown, a Tittsburgh lawyer, or E. H. Fitler, a rich Philadelphia manu facturer. It will all end in talk, how ever, and Simon's son will be given an other six years' lease in the Senate. If this isn't the outcome, then the people of this State may expect text summer to gather grapes from thorn bushes and figs from thistles. Ex-Vice President Schuyler Colfax dropped dead at half-paat 10 o'clock on las: Tuesday morning in the Omaha depot at Mankato, Minnesota. He arrived at that place on au eastern train at 10 o'clock and walked to the Omaha depot, a distance of three-fourths of a mile, with the thermometer at 30 degrees below zero. It is supposed that the extreme cold, subsequent heat in the depot and over-exertion caused a stoppage of blood to the heart. The retuaioa left Mankato tbe same night for 8outh Bend, Indiana, wher6 Mr, Colfax had long resided. The news of bis audden death will be received with a feeing of sorrow throughout Ue whole country. It there ever was an official in either branch of the Legislature woo deserves to be called a "blackguard," it is Lucius Rodgers, of McKean county, who is .Heading Clerk of tbe Senate. By com moo consent he earned that exceptional titte by his ungentlemanly, insolent and wholly inexcusable conduct, when it be came Lis duty to read to the Senate tb annual message of Gov. Pattison, and if that body would do its duty aud preserve Its own self respect, as well as the re spect of the ppople of the State, it ougb to put this McKean county mountebanl tbroogh a severe course of discipline. But it woo,t, and Rodgers will rest se cure in the belief that a Democrat 1C Governor bn no rights which he. as an official of tbe State Senate, is bound to reeiwct. The report that Gen. Grant's exces sive indulgence in smoking cigars has produced a cancerous affection of his tongue, tbe sama affliction and produced by the tame cause, that brought about the death of U.S. Senator Ben. Hill, of Georgia, two or three years ago, is not quite correct. Drs. Barker and Doug lass, both eminent in their profession, who have been attending Gen. Grant, decline to say whether there was danger of a cancer or not, or whether the trou ble with his tongne was caused by smoking, but they do say that Gen. Grant cut down his habit of smoking about fifteen cigars daily to half of one cigar a day, and after continuing this for a week ceased smoking altogether, and that the chances now are that his tongue rouble will rapidly disappear. Gov. Cleveland resigned his office at tLb meeting of the New York Legis lature on Tuesday of last week and was succeeded by the Lieutenant Governor, Daniel B. Hill. Mr. Hill was Mayor of Elmira, when be was elected on the ame ticket with Cleveland, who was then Mayor of Baffalo, in 1S82. He is comparatively a young man and stands among tbe foremost Democratic leaJeis in the State. After bis resignation Gov. Clevelaud went to Buffalo, his old Lome, D(1 oo last Friday eight attended a charity ball in that city, but as his brains are in his bead and not in his heels, he dida't participate in the danc ing. He will return to Albany some time next week and will remain there until a couple of days before the 4th of March, the day of bis inauguration, when he will proceed to Washington. Col. Robert L. Chester, w ho is al most ninety-three years of age, and who was the intimate friend of Andrew Jackson, was appointed to deliver the electoial vote of Teumsu-ee at the late election to the 1'resident of the Senate at Washington. The o'.d man made the Journey successfully, delivered the seal ed enveloue entrusted to his care to Mr. Edmunds, and then went on to Albany to pay bis resiwcts to Gov. Cleveland. He says he told the President elect that be wanted no office himself and none for any other person, to which Mr. Cleve land replied that he was a pleasing ex ception to the general run of his visitors. On taking his leave Mr. Cleveland pre sented him with a large photograph of himself, which he says he values very nighty. He says the Governor impressed liiui as a man of strong common sense th.n there is no Affectation about him that he is a man of undoubted firmness of character and bvhevra he can be safe ly trusted t.y the rx-uple. JAIL STOBIKS. Within the last year our enterprising friend of tbe Johnstown Tribune has ad ded to the interest of his paper by pro curing jail news from the jail birds that have served out their terms and been discharged. As soon as a discharged burglar, thief or sluggtr reaches Johns town, the enterprising editor interviews htm and procures lots ef stories of the inner life of the county prison. Of course these reports of the enlarged criminals are not true, but still tbey make good reading, and as tbey stuff ths editor he stnffs tbe reader. Be- side, the editor deserves praise for associating with characters of this kind for the benefit of Ms readers. It is ru mored thst Mr. Samuel Reese, who is confined for sheep stealing, (an offense which the Tribune knows all about), has entered into the spirit of the thing, and keeps a diary of jail events, but whether to be furnished in instalments or only at the end of his term, we are not Inform ed. If it all comes at once It will make an interesting number of the Tribune. At the session of the Legislature two years ago when the Democrats bad a majority in the nouae, they abolished quite a number of the minor offices, thereby saving the State about firteen thousandlollars, but as soon as the Re publican majority in the present nouse got down to business last week, they filled all tbe vacant places with new men taken with them from their homes to Harrisburg. The Democrat pro tested against this reinstatement of unnecessary and useless officials, but Colburn, of the Somerst "glades," who assumes of a small way to be the Re nnblican leader, declared that the act of Assembly of 1ST4 made provision for the officers, and that he and his friends intended taking all that the law gave them. There was no pretense that the last House suffered say inconvenience by cutting down the number of employ ees, but because a law passed eleven ears ago created the offices, therefore the Republicans would fill then, and they did. Gov. Pattison, anxious to cut down the expenses of the Legisla ture wherever it can be done, recom mends in his message that the office of Resident Clerk of the House and that of Senate Librarian be abolished, and gives conclusive reasons why it should be done. The Governor's recommenda tion, however, is not likely to make much impression upon a Legislature, a maioritv of whose members are ready to exclaim with Webster Flanagan, of Texas, "What the d 1 are we here for unless it is for the offices ?" We regret that we cannot lay befoie ou-r readers the whole of Gov. Pattison's message to the Legislature, and as the next best thing we can do we publish on our first page a condensed statement of most of its leading features, for which we are indebted to the Lancaster Inttlli qencer. It is a loug time since a Gover nor of this State put forth so exhaustive aud in eveiy aspect so admirable adocu uient. No man can read it, even though he does uot subscribe tosome of the Gov ernor's views, without having the con viction forced upon him that Robert E. Pattison is an honest, straightforward aud fe irless defender of the rights and interests of the people. He shows that be possesses a thoroush knowledge of tbe affairs of the Commonwealth, how the welfare of the people in many re spects can be improved by legislation, and how the public treasury can be pro tected from systematic plundering. His remarks in regsrd to the continued refusal of the railioad companies of the Slate to obey the provisions of the Con stitution forbidding unjust discrimina tions in freight charges, are especially plain -spoken ar.d vigorous. His posi tion that the memlnrs of the Legislature ought to be paid a fixed taiary instead of a per diem allowance, for which this paper has contended durirg the last five years, is sound and impregnable, and, foi manv reasons in the interest of undoubt ed economy. The message in every re spect is an exceptionally able and inter esting S'.ate paper, and reflects upon its author infinite credit. In 13S1, when he ran as an Independ ent Republican candidate for S'.ate Treasurer and received neatly fifty thousand votes. Charles S. Wolfe, of Union county, was a conspicuous figure in Pennsylvania politics and won a high reputatation as the young and fearless opponent of the Cameron ring. Since then be has not been heard of politically outside of bis own county until last week, when he appeared at Harrisburg on the day before the meeting of the Legislature,in pursuit of an office at the hands of this same Cameron ring, for a personal friend. The office he wanted is worth about eight hundred dollais during the session, and he got it. In connection with this performance of the once widely known Union county Inde-reudt-Qt, it roust be etatert as explanato ry of his "true Inwardness' that In consideration for the office given him by the Cameron men, the member of the House from Union county will vote for Cameron for U. S. Senator. Putting this aud that together the question sug gests itself : Did ever a full fledged re fotmer and the sworn foe of ring rule in this Commonwealth, ever dive deeper and come up dirtier than Charles S. Wolfe Y Patrick Ford, of the Irish World, has a libel suit pending in th New York courts against Patrick Relihau, editor of IreUmd's Liberator. During the late Presidential campaign Relihan in his paper denounced the course of Ford iu the Irish World in boltiug the nomination of Cleveland and supporting Blaine, ami charged that Ford's action was based on a money consideration. Itslihau says he will attempt to prove the truth of the charge by Jones and Elkins, members of the Republics Na tional Committee, both of whom he has suhprtisd to attend the trial. It is not likely that Joues and Elkins will accom modate him with any such testimony, although that Ford uas bought is not doubted by any out) who knows him. Among Relihan's other witnesses are O'Donovan Jtor-sa aud Susau Gallagher, the woman who was with Patrick O'Donueli whfu Im hhot Carey, who in formed ou the PL.pnix Park niurd.rer. ! in .vulh Afiica. OUR TCBLIC SCHOOL 15TERESTS. The annual report of Dr. Higbee, Su perintendent of Public Instruction for the State of Fennsylvaaia, has just been made public. Llk tbe preceding re ports of this official, tbe present one is lucid, able and full of valuable bints. He directs attention to tbe fact tbat or the dozens of social problems that are deemed of sufficient importance to con stantly attract the attention of legisla tors, surely there can be none mgner or more vital than that which concerns the training and culture ef the entire junior population of the State, number ing over a million or vouins ana cnii dren of both sexes. The primary edu cation of a whole sreneration of boys and girls is a most important factor in social progress, but so quietly does Ibis work link and interweave itself with our erery day life, and so unobtrusively does it do its work, that it does not re ceive tbe attention it deserves. To make our present school system more efficient, new legislation is re quired and numerous hints are thrown out as to tbe course it should take. School life should be as much like home life as possible. The borne is surround el with things tbat gladden the eye and cultivate and refine the taste. These things repress and subdue the wild and discordant impulses of youth. Why shall not tbe surroundings of the pnblic schools be like them ? It is children who go into school, not men and wo men. All around them has its due in- finance. Yet the condition of many of the school -houses in the State is such that no law should require a cultured boy or girl to enter them. There should be a law to condemn such school build ings, and in case of a refusal to do so the State appropriation should be with held until the matter is remedied. A new treatise on school-house architec ture is much needed, and the Superin tendent recommends an appropriation for this purpose. Slate Normal schools are regarded with much favor by the Superintendent. The task of proyiding the 22,000 teach ers to keep our schools in operation de pends largely on them. These institu tions are a necessity, and constitute a most important portion of the public school work. The perpetuation of our present system depends largely ou them. They should be regarded as a "necessa ry part of the public school system of the State ; that a proper supply of well trained professional teacheis will be im possible without them ; and that tee State ought, as other States are doing, so far to maintain them as to make them the most efficient possible in their spe cial work." It i3 recommended to in crease the appropriation to the public schools $150,000, that sum to be distri buted among the Normal Schools. A strong stand is taken in favor of increasing the length of the school year from five to six months. The latter pe riod is not long enough, but it is better than the present law. Tbe money of the State, it is held, is almost wholly thrown away in districts where short terms prevail. Attention is directed to impertect supervision. Many counties have become so populous that couuly superintendents are required to range over districts where four aud five hun dred teachers are employed. In such cases the work of supervision must necessarily be imperfect. Continual watchfulness and examinations are sim ply iuiDossible. District superintend ents would remedy this evil. The large non-attendance of children of the proper age at the public schools claims atten tion. There are at present over a thou sand pauper children in the couuly almshouses. The establishment of in dustrial schools where ih'tse pauper children should be sent is strongly re commended. The vexatious question of text books is discussed. The power of school boards to supply the required books is supported. The increase in the number of the school teachers of the State, during the past ten years, was 3,37.3, the present Dumber bsing 22,404. Strange to say, salaries have decreased during thesatue period. In 1873 the average for males was $41.53 per month and 32.41 for fe males ; last year the average for the for mer was $37.2S, and for the latter $29.22. Hut although salaries have decreased, expenses have increased and the appro priation of one miliiou of dollars now made is deemed inadequate to meet the legitimate demands of" the public school sys'.em. The voluminous statis tics that accompany the report show thv progress and efficacy of our schools. Tne public seems only partially alive to their importance, however. Much re mains to tie done. The harvest already gathered shows the gleaners have not been idle. The foundations laid are solid, aud, with the Superintendent, we hope "a supersLructure may rise, w hich, in symmetry unit strength, shall be more beautiful than the Parthenon and out last the Pyramids." Lancaster Xew Era. Foreign Immigration; for 1884 The foreign immigration for the year just closed has fallen off about twenty per cent., the arrivals being about one hundred thousand! less than durii.g 1883. This was to be expected, in view ot tbe general business depression in this coun try and the growing scarcity of lands available for settlement. An addition of more than 450,000 to our popnlaiion from loreigu sources indicates very clearly, however, that the United States is stili looked upon as the most desira ble haven for oppressed aui unfortu nate humanity in the world. Al'ho' the pil has been a comparatively dull year as far as immigration is coocerueo, no other country can begin to show as large an accession to its population from foreign sources. A view of the nationality of tLe com ing citizens will uot be without intei est. The complete figures cau only be given for the eleven months ending No vember 30, but thev are sufficient to show the drift. Germany furnished by long odds the most immigrants, the pointer beiug 150.351. Ireland stands next oo the list, with 57,073. England and Wales furnished 51,015, and Cana da 43,413. Swede') s'ands fifth, with 23,430, while Austiia, Norway and Ita ly swelled the new population about. 13 -000 each. It will be seen by this state ment that the immigrants of Teutonic or Saxou origin comprise nearly two thirds of the entire number. Hard as the limes are thought to be in this country, these statistics of immi gration indicawe tbat they must be much harder in other countries. Men don't lenve home and fatherland by the hun dreds of thousands for fun generally. They only leave when tho struggle for existence becomes too hard to be longer continued with a hope of snccess.-PAii-adtliihia Times, Governor IIoadley, of Ohio,speak ing or the expedients resorted to by con victs for thf pui pose of procuring a par don, says that, he was once solicited for a pardon by a prisoner In the peniten tiary who was convicted for manslaugh ter, on the ground that he was a Demo crat, and that the same prisoner had sought a pardon from Gov.

The monotony of tbe week that has passed was broken by the celebration of theann i versary of the battle of New Or leans "Jackson's Day" as It is called. Tbe election of Jackson marked the overthrow of a corrupt party despotism, aod it was fitting that the names of Jackson and Cleveland should be associ ated in celebrating the victory of New Orleans when tbe country is rejoicing In the overthrow, throngh Cleveland, of the gigantic and despotic oligarchy of office stealers and holders known as the Rcpulican party, me ceieoranou ucm was Democratic, eloquent and snccess- ' "Another event was the advent and de parture, all in forty-eight hours, of Col. Lamont, the private secretary of the Fresident-elect. Col. Lamont came to look for a borne and to scan the field of his future labor. He had not been in the city before. He has a wife and chil dren and must have a house. He did not succed in getting a house, but will try again after the fourth of March, when a few hundred residences will doubtless be vacated. It is difficult to believe that only six weeks remain of President Arthur and a Republican administration. Prepara tion is sleepless, and expectation is on tip-toe for the fourth of March. It is estimated that there will be250,0u0 vis itors here at the inanguraltan. l can not think there will be so many, but tne number will doubtless be large. As is usual the intetest of the country in Washingtou matters ceases with the ad journment of Congrees, but this year it will grow with the inaugration of a new President, a new policy, the ap pointment of a new Cabinet, and numer ous other changes in all the departments of the public service. It is edifying to see the desperation with which a laige number of drones and sinecurists are trying to get them selves converted into real little civil ser vice reformers and Democrats. Many of them are shuffling over with an alac rity that is not graceful. Congress is at work on the appropria tion bills. The Navy bill has been pas sed by the House, and the Consular and Diplomatic bill is under discussion. I heard a Republican statesman, so called, bewailing the fact that the trained and improved Consular aud Diplomatic per sonel which, he said, bad been establish ed in the la9t eight years by Evarts and Frelinghuysen, must giyo place to Dem ocratic bummers and ward politicians. Well, it will be a pity if it is so, but if this noxious class must have offices, by all means let's send them to the foreign courts where they will have nothing to d9, and will, therefore, be incapable of barm. Modern diplomacy is an anachro nism and a farce. There is not the slightest necessity for our sending rep resentatives to foreign governments, or tor foreign governments to send repre sentatives here. We have no foreign relations. Steam and electricity and the press, have made the ambassadorial establshmrnts of contigious States use less, then how utterly needless to keep them up between our country and Irar.s Atluntic powers. It would be better to recall our flimsy ships, cruising in for eign seas, exposing our weakness and costing millions annually. It would be better to dismantle our diplomatic es tablishments in European capitals. The press, with steam and the Atlantic ca ble will furnish us prompter aud more accurate information than can possibly be obtained by our heavy representatives abroad. We will know Stale secrets as soon as thy are knowu by kings and their ministers, for we will get them from tlie same wource, the press. I was walkiug oil Connecticut Ave nue yesterday, which is the fashionable Sunday promenade or the city, and among otb-ir noted people was Mr. Jas G. Bla:ne, the late candidate. He was walking with Miss Luring, daughter of the Commissioner of Agriculture, and another young iady. The ex candidate, or, should I ay the perpetual candidate, is looking pretty strong, but he has a siuiuter face, a face in which bis vault ing, foiled ambition is darkly written, a face which seems to say, "I would rather be first in Hades than second in Washioeton." The situation of the Blaines in this city w not a happy one. Mrs. Rlaine is not magnetic, she is repHlant. She has taken occasion to snub many ladies in society here, who openly rejoice at her disappointment and humiliation now.

In Norway and Sweden accumulations of iuins, often more than a foot thick, and half decomposed, serve to make paper and millboard as hard as wood, blocks of which, formed by the h)dtaulic press, may even be turned in the la!he and polished.

A diabolical attempt to wreck a train on the East Tennesee, Virginia and Geor gia railroad, near Rome, Georgia, on Sun day night, failed only by a miracle. The miwreants tore np several yards of the track and drove pieces of rails into the cattle guards.

Just before tbe train reached there, the engine boxes became hot and the engineer stopped the train to cool them, striking the obstruc tion after it had s!a;kened sDfed.
