at the same letting the Commissioners'
engineer among others, was a bidder ;
at the same letting the Commissioners'
engineer was awarded the contract for
building the bridge, and afterward, as
a matter of course, with the sole end in
view of seeing that the county got
honest work, carefully watched the
progress of construction to see that no
inferior work was done or materials
nsed. When the work was done the
engineer, as tbe agent of the Commis
sioners, accepted the work from the
contractor, and we hare no donbt was
highly pleased wUh the manner in
which the contractor performed the
work. In fact the testimonials fur
nished by the engineer in commenda
ticm or tbe contractor's bridge build
ing are sur(X5ed to hare led to the con
clusion reached by the Commissioners
that they wcu'd gire the same con
tractor a coupie of iron bridges to bnild
without ging through tbe formality of
a letting. This they did and the bridge
at the east end of Ebensburg, and
across the RIacklIck at Duncan's mill,
are monuments to the engineer, the
contractor and the Commissioners.
The cost was a trifl? high but all par
ties to the contract Feem to be satisfied.
Fime time ago the Commissioners
concluded to bnild three more iron
bridges, one at Frugality, one In Mun
ster township, and one at Hasting, and
adrertlspd a letting for the same. The
time for the letting was on last Monday
two wpeks ago. and according to their
advertisement was to be in two parts,
one for the iron work, the other for the
stone work. At the time announced
for the letting the bide were opened
and the contract for the iron work was
duly awarded to the Variety Iron
Works of Cleveland Ohio, for 53.200.
The contract for the stone work was
held over, until Tuesday last, although
the bidders were all anxious to learn
who would get the contract, that they
might if successful, begin at once on
the work. The bids are as follows :

awarded the contracts to J. A. Shoe
maker, their engineer for 51,300.00, au
advance over tha lowtst bidders of

We will not at this time comment
on the above facts and Cgures, our
readers can reflect for themselves.

William W. Howard, who repre
sented Jjrx-r'jj Weekly la Oklahoma
when that strip was thrown open to
settlement, characterizes tbe conduct
of the Deputy United States Marsha!
in pre erupting the choicest lots and
beet Ions as one of the most outrageous
impositions ever practiced in the set
tlement of a new country. The fact
that no blood was shed when the firs
arrivals foend tbe best parts of Guthrie
and Oklahoma City already in posses
sion ot the Marshals was altogether
due, be points out, to the belief of the
hemeeeekers that the Gorernmen
would set the matter right. And the
Government shoald set it right ; and
the sooner the better. Moreover, if
Howard's account be true, and there is
no reason to doubt it, the Deputies

And SHU Another Object Lesson. '
The coal mining Industry of IndUna
is centered in day county, and know
ing the vote of the State wonld be close
at the last election, both parties pat
forth their best efforts to get tbe votes
of tbe miners. Judge Tbarman made
a speech at Brazil ic support of the
Democratic ticket, but the Republicans
played a different game. As tbe day of
election drew near, their Republican
proprietors shut down some of tbe
mines, and especially those where Dem
ocrats were lamely employed, dlacharg
ed tbe men, and declared it was done
because of the tariff agitation. To
make matters clear letters were pub
lished from O. li. Potter and other
iron manufacturers in Chicago, who
are also heavily interest d in Clay
county mines, stating that tbe pros
pect of Cleveland's election and tbe
passage of the Mills bill bad compelled
them to close their works and hence to
suspend their purchases of coal, and
that the suspension would probably be
lnaenoite nuless Harrison was elected.
tbe protective tariff saved and "public
cocudonce restored." Tbe correspond
er.ee was published In the Indianapolis
Journal Harrison a borne ofacial organ
and other Republican papers, and was
placed in the bands of every miner in
Indiana and of thousands of other
workingmen. A delegation of Clay
county miners was also trotted np to
IndiauapoMs to bear Brother Harrison
make a speech telling them Low their
wages, food, clothing and escape from
a pauper's doom depended on the sue
cess of tbe Republican party. All this
no doubt bad its desired effect in
changing many votes from Cleveland to
1 1 arris n, and In Clay county the ma
j rity for the Democratic candidates
was reduced to a very narrow margin.
Rat the election is over, and tbe In
diana miners are in about tbe same
precious pickle as the miners and the
iron and steel workers of Pmnsylyania.
When the Clay c.xjnty operators, after
election, got ready to reopen tbeir
mines the) fixed a new scale of wages,
which the men refused to acopr. Har
rison is Pres'dent and tbe high protec
tee tariff eared, but the operators
instated on a cut in wages of from 20 to
'22 per cent., the heariest cat ever made
in the S. ate. The operators through
out the State made common cause
against tbe men and insisted on tbe re
duction.' For two days of this week the
operators and the miners bare been in
conference at Rraz.l, Clay county, the
men proposing that the differences be
tween them be submitted to arbitration.
The ;ierators would not consent to
arbitration and told tbe men they
cou'd either take the reduced wages or
go without work. They talk differently
now, these gilt-edged operators, from
what tbey did when they were cajoling
their men to vote for Harrison by a free
ride to Indianapolis to hear Harrison
declaim his part of the play.
The story of tbe Brazil miners is true
of doz-ns of indus'ries in Pennsylvania,
Ohio Bnd West Virginia. The locked
ouc steelworkers at Duquesne have rea
lized it, and before the summer is over
it is predicted the Amalgamated Asso
ciation and tbe glassworkers and other
classes of lator will have a similar ex
perience. nttsbura. Post.
Senatorial Prerogatives.
The two Senators from Illinois are to
make a stand together against the
President in defense ot what they claim
as their "perrogative" the right to
select the importaut Federal officers for
their State.
A test esse is to be made of tbe ap
pointmer.t of an internal Revenue Col
lector upon the recommendation of
three Representatives in Congress from
Illinois, and against the wishes of Sena
tor Culloin. The Senators will try to
prevent the issuance of a commission
in this case, and failing in that will
I', they mean to Cent for their "prerog
a'ive ot nominating persons to oiTiee
belongs exclusively to the President.
The language of that instrument is that
ae fhall nominate and br and with
he advice and consent of the Senate
shall appoint" public officers. The ad
rice and consent of tbe Senate is given
or withheld after the nomination, not
before it. I or Senators to claim as a
right what has been extended as a
courtesy is to set themselves np as As-
:stant Presidents for their respective
States as executive instead of legisla
tive omciais.
Tbe contest is an old one. Tbe claim
upon which it is based led to tbe for
mation of the famous "Senatorial
Ring" shortly after the war. It led. too.
to the resignations of Senators Conkling
and Piatt. General Harrison was him
self a sharp stickler for tbe office
brokerage rights of Senators when be
was a member ot that body. Now that
be is President, naturally bis point of
view Is changed. There Is a prospect
of a very pretty fight, whea the Senate
meets, in tbe party of grand old spoils
grabbers. J. l orul.
Tbe Ickedest Man.
If we were asked the question to-day.
"Who la the wickedest man in the Uni
ted States ?"' we wonld unhesitatingly
answer, John Wanamaker, of Philadel
phia, the present Postmaster-General
By literal advertising Mr. Wanamaker
gained great wealth, and has the largest
uuday school class in tbe country
Having achieved this much be was
emulous of political fame, and baring a
business sagacity and cognizant ot the
venality ot the Republican party, be at
once foresaw that tbe easiest and only
method fr him was to purchase rower.
He raised four hundred thousand dolt
lars and took bis seat as one of Mr.
Harrison's chief advisors. Tbe propri
etor of a vile den in the slums ot a
great city is wicked, but be only pan
ders to the depravity of a limited nam
ber. W anamaker would sing byms
and corrupt a Nation. It Is tbe Wana-
makeis and not tha Dudleys and Quays
who are a menace to tbe well being of
tbe country. The latter are but tbe

The Law Against Them.
2s ot Ions ago a movement was begun
by the prohibitionists to organize a
a woman's league or association, tbe
members of which should attend the
polls on June lS:h and work for the
prohibitory amendment.
Tbe discovery bas recent) been made,
however, that an act passed by the
Legislature in 1S39 stands in tbe way
of the movement. It says : "If any
person not qualified to vote in tbis com
monwealth agreeably to law (except tbe
sons of qualified citizens), shall appear
at any place of election for tbe puipose
or of influencing the citizens qual'fJed
to vote, he shall, on conviction thereof,
te fined not less than 5100 nor more
than toouo. and oe imprisoned ror a
term not less than three months or more
than one year.
Thus it will be seen that the woman
who is wise will ft ay away from tbe
polls on June 13th, and spend the day
In reading Mrs. Robrer's cook book or
making a new tidy.

A Sew Elral Line.
The plan for an independent railroad
across tbe State to connect with the
Letign Valley Railroad has been re
rived, and within the past two weeks
efforts have been made to interest
Philadelphia capitalists lo the scheme.
Since tbe Sontb Pennsylvania .Railroad
fell into tbe bands of tbe Vanderbilts
several new projects have been started
and old ones revived. Tbe one that is
considered to have tbe best financial
backing is tbe one which contemplates
a connection with the Lehigh Valley at
Aebland. and it is this one which has
been brought to the attention of local
financiers.
The line of the proposed road Is from
Ashland due west to Pittsburg, passing
through Sallnsgrove and Huntingdon.
The route is quite direct, and runs
close to tbe Pennsylvania Railroad for
most of the distance. It is intended
tha'. the Baltimore and Ohio terminals
at Pittsburg shall be ut-d, while the
Lehigh Valley is depended upon to re
ceiive and take care of tbe traffic deliv
ered at Ashland.
Engineers say that the route is a
good one. although not as good as tbe
S intb Pennsylvania. From Ashland to
Selinsgrove tbe country is very moon
tainous. and the work will be exceed
ingly expensive. From Settn6grove
west, however, the country is very fair.
except in tbe Allegheny Mountaias sec
tion. No exact estimates of tbe cost
bare been made, but work will aot be
began unless at least f 10.000,000 is sub
scribed. A portion of this amount feas
been secured, and the promoters are
searching for more. The experience of
tbe South Pennsylrania syndicate fc-as
not given much encouragement lo In
vestors, and very few moneyed men
have as yet identified themselves wlt
tbe enterprise. Tbe promoters of it are
pushing men. at.d feel confident that
the road will ultimately be built.
It is not claimed that tbe L-bigb
Vallev is Interested ia tbe scheme.il and
is declared that all that is expected rrom
that corporation is a traffic contract to
exchange freight and passengers. The
distance from New York to Pittsburg,
by way of this route, rs siightl less
than tbe Pennsylvania's. Tee, friends
of the scheme talk of large profits that
wonld be made by the const ruction of
the road, since a large tonnage of an-
thracite coal could be placed in Pitts
burg every year, and besides, the new
line would compete with tbe Pennsyl
vania for local business at many points.

Shameless Act of tbe Legislature.
In spite of the general protestation of
the press and tbe people, that profligate
body, the Legislature of Pennsylvania,
persisted in Its determination to attend
the New Yoik centennial celebration at
the expense of tbe State and to neglect
public business already delayed by a
waste of time all through tbe session.
As bbameless an act as this, their go
ing off on a pleasure expedition, the cost
of which is to be paid with the people's
money, was never before committed by
a legislative tody. It was indulged in
for no other reason than that tbe mem
bers wanted to have a good time and
were able to make tbe State pay for it.
There was nothing in the line of their
legislative duty that requited tbeir
presence in New York. The amount
of money needed to defray the expense
of this pleasure excursion bas been fixed
at 512,000 dollars, which will be just
that mucn money stolen from tbe S:ate
treasury for the personal pleasure and
enjoyment of the scaliest ett of law
makers that ever disgraced tbe legisla
tive function.
A shameless act of this kini is a fit
ting conclusion to a eeseion which bas
been marked by unblushing sacrifices of
the public interest, of which the failure
to pass an antUdiscrimiuation act is an
example ; but becoming as it is to sueq
a legislature, it is terribly disgraceful
to tbe S:ate. Even if these legislators.
leaving their post of duty la a body
had gone on their junketing excursion
at their own expense, they would not
have been excusable for such dereliction
Amnesty to Derserttrs.
On October 10. 1873. Treslcent
Grant issued an amneaty order to de
serters from the army. Since that time
40.391 men of tbe enlisted service have
deserted, and of this number It is estN
mated that only 8050 have returned to
tbe service. It fo'lows, therefore, that
mere are over 32,000 deserters at la;g.
many or wtiom are doubtless living con
stantly in tear of apprehension and tbe
disgrace that would follow, to say
nommg or tne Hardships which would
necessarily be entailed npoa their fami
lies. Senator Plumb bas written to Presi
dent Harrison suggesting tbe advisabil
ity of issuing another anauestv procla
mation, and it is said that the PresK
dent is in sympathy with tbe sugges
tion. If all tbe deserters from the
army could be apprehended and return-
ed it wonld increase the-army to an ex
tent that was never contemplated. But
this is unlikely. Only a smalt percen
tage of those at large will be apprehend
ed, so that such an amnesty as that
proposed by Mr. Plumb would not ins
volve much loss to tbe Government.
Tbe articles of war under wbicu tbe
Lnited States army is governed were
copied from the regulations of the Bri
tish army, and while the latter bars
been modified from time to time, rvtirs
nave remained unchanged. In this,
no goudc, may De round an explanation
or tne large number of desertions : and
this fact should be taken into consider
ation by tbe Government in coming to
a aecis-.oD. iVrtta. litcoacL.
By way of preparing for the srjecial

sooihlns, pleasant and easy to apply, and
I strongly urge Its use by all sufferers.
