Dow eager the Republicans always aro to grasp at straws when the returns of a State election are be'rg rectlved. The Kentucky election took place on Mt.rday wek, und frrm tho returns publish don Tuesday Itwasa certain r atj thing could be that Iiuckr er, the lk mocratic candidate for Governor, had fern e'cted by frum fifteen to twenty five thousand mjtity, yet from some U'jwarrnted and extravagant cla:ms made about the mi 1 !!e of the week by Brauipy, the Republican candidate, who was prepated to make au aftij ivi that ts was elected fcy 5,Ch of a majority, wtne of the Republican pappjs who?e wish was furthtr to thoir thought act uallr swallowed the story and almobt went wild over the glorious newa. Some of them even suggested Bra Hey . th roan to la placod on the Repub "cnn ticket next year for Vice-President. Taking thj returns from the counties that have been recived at the Capitol of the State and estimating those of the few not received, on the bnsis of Cleveland's vote two years ago, Euckner's majority is about l'.yjOO. That is enough for an off year ju3t as Bsaver'B majority in this State last No vember was encngh, although it was ouly half as large as Blaine received in lSi. Kentucky is as reliable a Demo cratic State us Vermont is a reliable Republican State. We referred last week to the exciting campaign In Texas over the adopMon of Constitutional Prohibitory amendment the vote on which was taken on yerter week. Tho returns from most of the counties In th Mate have been received and they show that Ihe amendment is defeated by not leas than ore hundred thousind mainrttv. and probably even more than that. It was a remarkable crin;a!gn and the result gives the Pro t.oaiou shaii ast.igerinsblow. There Lno read'-m to rx-k-?ve that the Prohibi ts uu!3 of Tccas bad thv carried the d-vv at ti e polls, would hav succeeded any li tter in suppressing the sale of liquor tt-nnthe Prohibitionists in Maine, Rhcdi Idlmd, Iowa or Kansas hare done. So far as the total suppression of the liqnor tr.iffie Is concerned there is no real difference between a ProiLbl t!on victory in Maine or Kansas and a Prohibition defeat in Texas. Men have never yet been rnad temperate by an Act of Assembly or a Constntionul amendment, and never will be, until human nature undergoes a complete transformation. Self interest and re tptct for public opinion may cause an iutemperate person to forsake his evil jrajs, but no mern act of legislation can any more make a man lead a sober life than it cau make buu moral and re-Igioua.

We ' CommenJ his common sense views to j llourbon Republicans who are constant ly utterii.g the parrot cry of "free trade," and who are wiping to see the government annually collecting from the taxpayers one hundrtd million of dollars over and above tl.e amount re quired to pay all its expenses. No other government in the world except that of the Unittd Stales thus robs and plun ders its people. Mr Dawes said : In leaching this the protectionist would place duties on articles produced at home and thereby encourage aud stimulate h' me production instead of the foreign. The freetrader would reach the same limit by collecting that reve nue without regard to hom production, from articles on v. inch it can be collec ted easiest and whose consumption by our people is a necessity, duty or no du ty. lJut the limit is the same with both, and that limit is the public expenditure. Now lhat limit is already passed. The revenue to-day greatly exceeds the expenditures, and has so exceeded them for a long time. The excess is accumu lating ct a rate exceeding SlOO.UOO.OoO a year. The last if the public debt that is due before 1S.1 has been called in, and 1 Vere is no way of paying out a dol lar of this excess. 1 1 must go on accu mulating in the Treasury, and remain locked up there until unloosed. by legis lation. That hoarding of idle money in the Treasury will, at the present rate, exceed ilOtf.OOO.OOO before 1891, if its withdrawal from the currency does not i's If produce business disaster. It is already creating alarm in business cir cles and at the Treasury. No one can measure the serious consequences of its contiuuance. The onlv remedy 6hort of such a business convulsion as will atop im portations as well as home produc tion Is in a revision and reduction of the tariff duties and internal reve nue taxation. Such a revision, look ing only to the revenue, has come, therefore, to be a necessity, confronting every one, whatever his theory as to the method and purpose of custom duties. To those who are for protection as well as for revenue, I have presented other considerations connected with the great industrial Interests of thecountry which tnukea a revision equally imperative. Mr. 2cay's Republican State Con vention to nominate a candidate for the Supreme Court and a candidate for State Treasurer, will meet at Ilarris Luig on next Wednesday. The Con vention will merely register the well known wish of Mr. tjuay which is un derstood beyond any kind of doubt to be decidedly in favor of Judge H'illiams, or Tioga county, for the Judgeship, and William B. Hart, of Hairisburg, for Treasurer. In selecting Williams as his candidate Mi. (Juay displays his usual political skill in Buch matters. Williams is known, or it is at least claimed for him, not to have any love for the Standard oil company Ll rouh whose tfforts at Ilarriaburg at the late session of the Legislature the Pipe line till was defeated iu the Senata after it had passed the House by an overwhelm ing majority. The oil producers, scores of whom were at Ilarriaburg at the tin e, charged Quay with ihe defeat of the bill in the Senate and declared that they would crucify the Republican Slate ticket at the election next November. Quay is far too ohrewed a politician tver to have eutered into any arrangement to defeat the Pipe line bill, although, as we have state-1, the oil pioducers tiade the charge against him, and he well knowns that it is a dangeroun experi ment to have the oil region arrayed ?airst the Republican state ticket. Henetis anxiety to have Williams, an anti-Stanard oil company man, nomin ated for Judge. He regards Williams as a safe tub to be thrown to the oil pro ducer -bale. t u.i 's set-up will win on nrxt WednesJay and tho oil producers will vota for it. They have hastily thrift ned on previous ocoasion3 to up upset (niy'a ticket, but their opposi tion reer amounted to a row of pins. Nearly SOoO men and boys, members of the Catholic Total Abstinence Socie ties of Philadelphia, paraded a week ago on last Tuesday night bo as to give a beCtting welcome to the visiting dele rate to the Seventeenth General Con vention of the Catholic Total Abstinence L'nion of America, which opened at the the Walnut Street Theatre on the fol lowing morning. The parade, says a city paper, was witnessed by thousands of people. Owing to the short raute the streets and pavements along the line were densely crowded at every point. There was a plentiful display of fire works and colored lights. The line con sumed an hour and ten minutes in pass ing the Cathedral, and during all that time the four sides of Logan Square, around whicb the procession wended its way were brilliantly illuminated by thousands of torches and colored lights. Archbishop Ryan reviewed the proces sion from the steps of his residence.

The worst element ot the debtor cla3i congregated in armod tu bs and prevented the sittings of the Courts in Massachusetts that executions might not issue against de linquent debtors. Whole counties in New England became demoralized. Blood was shed in Rhode Island when the Sheriffs attempted to carry the forcing laws into "effect. Shay's rebell ion raged all winter in Western Massa chusetts. The merchants, the lawyers and the Courts were tht ohjecis of )op ulur hatred and abuse. The Governors of Rhode Island and Vermont openly favored the insurgents In Massachusetts. The Jails were alternately filled by the Sheriff and emptied by the mob. Far mers refused to bring their praduce to the towns. Consumers and producers were at enmity, and values were for a time upset by odious laws passed to bolster up a limp and worthless cur rency. Had it not been for the vete rans of the war the scenes of the French Revolution would have found a prece dent in America. The winter of 17S6 '87 was unusu ally severe. The laborer complained that his occasional employment was p.orly paid with a paper b:ll of varying value with which he could not supply bis family with the necessaries of life. Merchants complained that the farmers would not trade with them, and that they could not afford to barter, as their stock was imported and bad been paid for in coin. Tax collectors returned men who for years had been reputed the wealthiest men oT the town. Thought ful men grew alarmed. Washlrgtou's circular letter from Newburg read hire a prophecy : "We 6hall be left nearly in a state of nature, or we may find by our own unhappy experience that there is a ualural and necessary progression from the exereme of anarchy to the ex treme of tyranny, and that arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused by licentious ness." Amidst Die bankruptcy of the roauy States passed laws impairing the obligation of contracts. The sense of justice seemed lost to the Republic. If the inviolability of private rights was to be lawfully ignored and formally de clared void by public legislation, then atter that "the ddiuge." "Interference with private rights and the steady dis pensation with justice," wrote Madison in arter years, "were the evils which above all others led to tha new Consti tution." . . . The Convention Closed ItS doors on tho smtonl day of it session, May IS, 17S7, aud the delegates, under oath of secrecy, proceeded to take into consideration the state of the na tion. When i.utumn came the work of tl. Convention was done a work far d.flerC'iit thn that for which the mem bers Lad been elected. The Constitu tion of the United States w3 .riven to the people. The country had supposed that the Convention was merely a trade Convention. Bat we know the Biuret history, or at least the greater portion of the history of the proceedings of the Convention. It was published fifty years sgo, when nearly all of the fram ers of our Federal Constitution were in their graves. Those wise men were equal to the grave problems before them; their names rind an imperishable mon ument in the work of their hands ; they linked together the Industrial and politi cal interests of the nation, and formed a more perfect "Union. But the causes wh'cti ltd to the making of the Consti tution wre economic rather than poli tical in character. frnwis y. Thorjx, in Hngnzine "f American History. Arrhbishop Walsh ou Coercion. Baltimore, August S. The Sun to day bas a letter from its special corres pondent now in Dubliu. which includes an Interview with Archbishop Walsh cn the probable effect of the coercion act. The Archbishop says he does not regard it as a political question, but as one purely social and economic one that controls the domestic welfare and the bappi'jesa of every household in the land. It is quite certain that the literal execution of the act would break up, root and branch, the National league, and absolutely stifle any open demon stration of sympathy with home rule. It is probably quite as much on account of its unusually hard features as for any other reason that the Irish Natlon allst3 look upon it as a measnre that England would only fully avail itself of as an extreme resort. The Archbishop attaching only secondary importance to this act, and looking upon the amended land bill as removing a large portion of the injus tices which the farmers complain, augurs happy prospects for the future. He, too, thinks that in a year or two more an Irish Parliament will again sit in the old Parliament house in Dub lin. In the matter or the evictions, which the Archbishop asks to be stopped, the fact seems appalling that for the three months ended on the 2d of July 9,140 persons have been evicted. Gladstone, be said, did not want to appeal to the country this year, when they were all ai confident as could be that Gladstone would go back id power with a tremend ous majority to back him. The Arch bishop said he never went to Dublin Castle, w hich is the abode of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, except on public busines. but he seemed to think it was probable, in view of the expected Im proved order of things, that he would in the future visit there socially. A Duel In Earnest. A fatal duel was fought week befoie last, on the batiks of the Yazoo rizar, opposite Greenwood, Miss., between Georj Evans and Badd Harris, both well known colored men.

House in passing a penal statute agaios: ue co education of the races. It is either gnorantly or reeklesslv yssu.ned that this is a fresh eruption of Siu'hern hate of the colored people, and is intended to deprive them of equal educational advantages. T.iese iguorunl or reckless partisan crilios vvi hhold the facts that the Iree school sypttui of eveiy reconstructed S.ate. excep'.iag Virginia, was enacted by ReputiliCaU Legislatuies or by Re publican voles iu fr .miug and adopting State Constitution; and in the cases of Louisiana. Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and Sjuib Carolina, a majority of the legislators who enacted the free school laws were colored men. In eyery instauce where colored legislators con trolled the legislation inaugurating free schools in the South, thev distinctly provided for separate schools for the while and colored races. They did it because both races preferred it, and be cause it assured the more hearty co op eration of both in maintaining universal education. The present Constitution of Georgia provides that there shall be equal educa ti nal advantages to all with separate schools for the two races. Toe bill passed by the Georgia House is in exact acoord with the educational policy of all the Southern States as framed by the representatives of the colored race, aud the practical enforcement of the system ordained by the colored people themselves is essential to the harmoni ous effort of all races for universal edu cation. The colored citizens of Georgia want no white children in their schools, and they are as anxious for their own exclusive rao schools aa are the whites. Georgia is amonsr the foremost of the Southern States in ber advanced educa tional system, and far surpasses Penn sylvania in the special educational advantages offered colored peiple. Penusylvanla gives open college doors to colored people in ber laws, but the colored student knows better than to knock at many of them, while Georgia has her white and her colored State Universities for the higher instruction of both races, and both are equally sus tained by State appropriations. Iu addition there are Normal Schools for both races, and there are more colored teachers employed in the single State of Georgia than are employed in all the Northern Slates from Maine to Califor nia. The color line will always be maintained in the free schools of tha South because the colore! people them selves so ordered it, because both laces prefer it, and because it is a necessity to a harmonious free educational system for all. Philadelphia Times. Uorned by the Sub. Chicago, August 7th. For two months aud a half the Northwest has heeu suffering from a ternble drouth. The district includes 73,000 square miles, bounded on niwik acjiouu, Wis.; on the south by Bloomiugton, II!; on the east by Lake Michigan and on the wist by the Mississippi river. In many places in this immense area wells have gone dry and water famines are threatened. To add to the horror, ty phoid fever, dysenteiy and otherstomach disturbances have broken out. and it is feared will become epidemic. Tu9 effect of the hot weather on the cattle has been appalling. The pastures have been burned by the schorching sun and the numerous outbreaks of fires. Farm ers! have felled trees and tnrned in theii cattle to brDuse on the leaves. The cat tle have become so poor that they can not be sotd. At Winslow, this State, 30 head bought last January at f30 each were offered for sale last week f jr f 100. Good cows have been sold at 5. Their value is a'uost wholly destroyed and a milk famine will doubtless result. The entire country is in places baked to a crisp. The Wisconsin corn ia literally burmd, and will not produce one peck to the acre. Potatoes are taken from the ground all shriveled up. Even the leavea of the trees are yielding to the loug continued drouth, and fall hfeless in showers ss they do after October's frosts. Beside, there has been great loss of property. In addiMonto the terrible effects of the sun's awful beat, wild fires have sprung up in the most mysterious ways. Only a spark seems necessary to produce a nearly uncontrollable blaze. In a cem etery at Racine. Wis., where the remains of the mound builders1 earthly monu ments are still seen, fire broke out among the tombs, and the next day in the very middle of the town, in front of a church, it was extinguished with great difficulty. Fences, barns and ag ricultural implements have been con sumed, and the farmers are plowing ditches around their houses to protect their homes from the fury of the flame that springs up without warning and burns until it exhausts itself. A strange phenomenon that has been noticeable in the afflicted district is that late in the afternoon rain clouds are visible above the western horizon and the people hope and believe that their prayers are about to be answered. At night the clouds dissipate and disappear. There h33 been no rainfall for ten weeks, and unless it comes speedily the most disastrous results and terrible suf fering will follow. Starving a Jury In Olden Times Jurymen are better off in these times than in the good old days when it was the law to endeavor to starve them into a verdict. It is bad enough cow to be put to loss of time and money, with little or inadequate recompense, with out being starved or fined into the bar gain. In the earlv part of the reien of Henry VIII Lord Chief Justice Red tried an action when on circuit in whicb the jury were locked up. but before giv ing their verdict bad eaten and drank, which they all confessed. This being reported to the Judge he fined them each heavily and took their verdict. In Hilary term. Sixth Henry VIII, the case came before the full Couit of Queen's Bench on a joint motion to set aside the verdict on the ground cf infor mality of trial, the jury having eaten when they should have fasted, and next remit the fines under the peculiar cir cumstances of the ca&e. The jury aver red that they had made up their iniods in the case before thev ate, and had re turned into Court with a verdict, but, finding the Lord Chief Justice bad "run out to see a fray," and not knowing when he might come back, they bad re freshments. The Conrt confirmed both the verdict and the fines. In "Dyer's Reports" a case is reported of a jury who retired to consider their verdict, and when they came back the bailiff informed the Judge that some of them (which he could not depose) had been feeding wbile locked up. Both bailiff and jury were sworn, and the pockets of the latter were examined, when it ap peared that they all had about them "pippins," of which "some cf them confessed they had eaten, and the others said they had not." All were severely reprimanded, and those who had eaten were fined 12s. each, and thos3 who had not eaten were fined Gs. each "for that they Lad them in their pockets." All the Year -lrouiuZ.

A nesro living near Calera, Ala., let a rattlesnake bite him for a straw bat worth 15 cents.

In Connecticut the country folks have a weather indicator in the spider. Although tbe morning clouds may be threatening if he spreads bis web out to the breeze it shows that tbe prospects for a fair day are good. Tbe "sign" Is said almost invariably to be correct. Jefferson Davis and Thomas L. Cllng mao. of North Carolina, are the only ex Senators now living of all the Southern members of that body who, in July. 18C1, were expelled from tLe Uuited States Senate for having left their seats and gone over to tbe Confederacy. At Yellowstone, Wis., a few days since David McGrmnahoe, a farmer, while reach ing to pick up a board from the tall grass, was bitten on the finper by a rattlesnake. He had a hatchet in bis hand at the time, and with one blow amputated bis finger and then cut tbe snake to pieces. At Tarkersburg, W. Va., a little Lee boy found an old liquor barrel, and amused hiin self by dropping lighted matches through the vent hole. Presently there was an explosion, aud the boy and barrel were blown into the branches of a neighboring tree. The boy was hadily hurt and the bar rel ruined. -At the Fourth or July celebration in Danville.

The fact Is noted that, In climaWs Lav ing a difference of 70 degrees In temperature between ttie hot aud cold seasons, a railroad track of the length of 400 miles Is some 38 yards longer in summer than in winter; that Is though of course the length or road re mains the same, expansion forces tbe metal closer together, making an segregate closing up of space between the rails of nearly a yard in each mile. Ellsha A. Welch, the original "TaLliee clock" man, died on Monday a week at Forestville, Conn., aged 7.3.

Mrs. Henry has for years been the organist and leading member of tbe church. A queer marriage ia reported from Tbornvlile, O. Tbe parties are Mr. Charles Love, Jr., and Miss Sarah Lawrence. Tbe carious feature in the marriage is found in tbe age of tbe couple, the bride being over CT and tbe groom but 22.

The snake sheds its skin by rubbing against a sappllng or otber hard earface until tbe delicate skin about tbe month is parted and turned back a few inches, wben tbe snake seeks a narrow place to fit the body, aud thus held, the skin atay. wbile tbe reptile crawls "out of its LiJe." The cuticle is turned "inside out" when found. Snakes are believed to be blind just before shedding ; at least the eyes are as thorough ly covered by the old skin as any other pait of the body. A gentleman from Concord, N. H., tells trie following story: About 20 years ago it rained almost incea&ainly for two weeks, anl everything turned green with mold. 1 was going through the town of Sallsburg when I noticed a flock of sheep iu a field. They Lad a very pecular look, for their backs were greeu. They looked so queer that I stopped to find out about it. It prov ed that they were carrying a field of grass on their backs. Tbe hay seed, whicb had got lodged In tneir fleece during the winter had sprouted nnder the constant rain. wwm Go to GKIS. FOSTER & QUIXX'S. Clinton j Carpets. Mattings. Runs. Stair I'ads.

A colored woman named Annie Watkins apparently died at Padncah. Ky., on Satur day and was to have be n buried on last Monday. Tbe body had been prepared for tbe grave and all arrangements for tbe funeral made. As the neighbors were gath ering for the sad rites, the supposed corpse astonished everybody by sitting up In her coffin. The assembled darkies fled in wild conrusion. greatly frightened, and refuted to return. Some white women went to the bouse and assisted her, and Annie bas so far recovered as to be able to participate In tbe emancipation celebration on Tuesday. Last Monday while Jake Gibson, a col ored brother, was sitting in the forks of an old oak tree ou tbe Ball plantation, near Centervllle, Ga.. eating a watermelon, a thunder cloud came np, lightning 6truck the tree, sp.'it it Into fragments, and threw Jake many feet away, apparently deader than ITecior.

J ust as all hope of resuscitation bad fled and his friends had turned sadly away to prepare for tbe funeral Jake rose up, looked around half dazed, and inquired: "Uncle Glenn whar's my watermelon T' Tbe Ohio State Board of Agriculture gives tbe following estimates based upon one thousand reports received as to the yield of wheat and corn : Wheat, 39,938.037 bushels, falling short of last year's product about8.000.000 bushels, last vears crop being very near a full average. The severe drouth during July has seriously affected the corn prospect, and tbe next report will undoubt ed ly show a great decline in the condition ince that reported July 1st.
