No small chare of the present Stringen cy apparent in credit and trade, remarks the 1'hiladelix'ia Pmw, i probably due to the very large withdrawal of currency and credit in various forms iu the shajn; of savings for a trip to Chicago. An enormous nuinlx r of jiersons have been for months forgoing purchases and sav in g their pennies to go to the Exposi tion. Each of these sums is small, but the aggregate is large, and the effect must le to retrench retail trade and to withdraw money iu all its forms from the currents of trade. What a record this legislature, says the Harrisburg Patriot, has made for itself! It has passed very few bills that were newssary or that were beneficial to the ieople, and a great many that no liotly but bosses, loodlers and simulators wanted. The methods by which these latter bills were passed, if set forth in the newspapers as whispered on the streets and in the capitol, would make some of the legislators fear to meet their constituents and others unable to see them, at least for some time, if the ven geance of the law were invoked. Dur ing the past theee years there have been more scandals spoken openly or whis pered secretly, and more venality charged in the management of the affairs of this State than ever Ix'fore. The heavy storm in I juicaster county, Tuesday night scattered the tlea plague to districts 10 miles away from the points hitherto affected. Samuel Musselman, of Earl township, found the outside of his house covered with the vermin. Eli Hershev, living near Manheim, reported the plague in his house.

MacFarlane has been a fugitive in Brazil, accompanied by his wife and child, for nearly three years, the war rant for his arrest having been issued May 31, lS'.H). He returned to this country 30 days ago teeause, as he says, the pangs of re morse became so great, that any punish ment he could receive would be tri tiling compared with that he wag sulfering as fugitive and outcast. The decision of Mr. Cleveland's ad inistration, says the New York Sun, rith respect to pensions is simply this: The government will not unuenake me support of ex poldiers whose disabilities did not originate ia the service, when the disability or infirmity o not due to service does not prevent the ex-soldier from earning his own living. more reasonable, equitable, and proper measure of reform it would be difficult to imagine. Ixxiee ana juui cious as were some of the provisions of the Disability Pension act of 1W, the Congress which passed that law never contemplated any such abuses ot tne svstem as were fastened upon it by Com missioner Kaum, under General Har rison's reckless management of pension affairs. The rescinding of Kaum's or der restores the rating of disability pensioners to th standard established bv the law which has been irsiU iitly misconstrued for the past two or three years The estimate that from ir,U0,000 to j'O.OOO.OOO will lie saved to the Treasu ry annually by following the law itself instead of General Raum's illegal con struction of that law, may prove exces sive. But, whether the saving is -JO,- OimI OHO. it should le effected. The most literal interpretation of the Gov oninicnt'd dutv to its former soldiers does not require that citizens shall be taxed to support other citizens who are capable of supjorting themselves, mere ly because the names of the latter once appeared on the army rolls, although the war left them unscathed. This wise and proper measure of ten sion reform is descriled iu some of our Republican contempraries as an -at tack on the Kensioners. " Pensions of that sort ought to lie not only attacked, but obliterated. Five years ago the an nual pension exenditure was about $'.0,000,lXH), or about nearly the sum w hich so good a patriot and friend of the veterans as General Garfield declared was the high-water mark of any honest nension svstem. Within five years the annual expenditure has almost doubled It is time to call a halt. Inany effort to check the unparalleled extravagance which threatens to bank rupi the Treasury in the name of grati tude to the Union's defenders, Presi dent Cleveland will have the support of all right-thinking citizens, including the veterans of the war. He may be sure of this. In honest pension reform no worthy dependent upon the Govern ment's bounty has anything to fear. Governor Pattison vetoed three bills on last Thursday. One was to reimburse counties for the re-erection and recon struction of county bridges which were swept away by the flood during the latter part of May and beginning of June 1SS'.; and authorizing and directing the Auditor General and State treasurer to audit the accounts submitted to them bv the county commissioners of the severa counties of this commonwealth; and di recting the State treasurer to pay over to the said several counties the amounts so expended. The Governor's objection to this bill is thai, it is direct violation o that provision of the constitution whicl forbids the legislature from making ap propriations of public moneys to any tommunity and that there is no warran of law for voting the moneys of the commonwealth for such pnrioses. Another was the bill making an ap propriation for the purchase of copies of an index to local legislation from 171HI to 1M"2 compiled by (hies D. Price, on the ground that it is wholly without le gal warrant. He also vetoes the eel weir and fish basket bill. In his veto of this bill the Governor ssys: "Notwithstanding ap proval of this measure has tteen urged upon me by delegations from various communitiesof the state, of which certain citizens are intested in the erection aud maintenance ot fish baskets, I feel con is trained to Jie governed by the experience and advice of the Commissioners of fisheries, to w hom the policy of our com monwealth has committed the protec tion of our food fish supply. For nearly a quarter of a century the Fish Commis sion has regularly reported in condem nation of fish baskets as destructive of the work of the State Fish Conmission. The New York Evening W.disciiss ing the need of an extra session of Cons gress, which President Cleveland has said he would call early in September, makes some plain and truthful state ments. It say 8: "What is true of the monetary ques tion is true of the tariff question. What an old story the .latter will seem five months from now, when a dilatory Con gress sets about doing what an over whelming majority of the tieople voted should be done first three years before, and again, and more emphatically, ten months before. The impetus and en thusiasm of a successful campaign will have become a thing of the past and w ill t hard to revive. Meanwhile the men who want the tariff to remain as it is are not idle. Their work is always in order. The lobby has long been called in extra tM-SMon. Already do we see half heart ed Iiemocratic Congressmen rise here and there to remark that it" is going to he a very difficult thing to say what is a 'raw material' and hat is not, and that it may be all very well to revise the tar iff on some other fellow's goods, but that their own districts must not be touched. These difficulties may all lie overcome. We believe they will be. But we cannot blind ourselves to the fact that they have been unnecessarily intensified by delay." Senator Hiooins, of Delaware, is dis tributing to the Canadian members of parliament a pamphlet containing his view on Canada's future in relation to the United States. These views are sum med up in the sentence: "It is the manifest destiny of the United States to own and control all this continent." Senator Higgins adopts the view that a treaty of commercial: reciprocity will postpone indefinitely the fulfillment of of this destiny and urged the Democrat ic party not to negotiate one. Han!

Secrvtaiy Morton will bring the matter to the at tention of the President lief ore taking action. President and Mrs. Cleveland acquit ted themselves handsomely of the tui-pie-edented ta.-k of entertaining as the guest of the I'nited StatS the official proxy of the tjueen Kegeiit of Spain, m in the t'rson of Princess Kulalic, the Spanish Infanta, and they did it with out inqiorting any Euro-M-ati frills. Af ter sjiending a week in Washington the Infanta and her party left for New York yesterday, where they will spend a few days before going to the orlf s Fair. The Princess made things easy from the start bv expressing the desire to le treated just as an American lady would lie, which fitted in exactly with the plans of Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland. The State dinner given in her honor at the White House is said never to have tieen surpassed in Washington. Senators anil Representatives who made no kick over the four-year full term rule of the Post Office department are not taking kindly to the last rule of that department, that no Republican fourth-class poe-tmaster will lie removed save for malfeasance in office, or on complaint and prxf that he is an"of fensive partisan."

Mr. Maxwell ''There are some va cancies in your district, and if you will name your men for these vacancies I'll appoint them at once. I mean those vacancies where the occupants have resigned." Congressman "Well, I won't make any recommendations in those cas-s. There are two kinds of Republican post masters in my district. One kind are manly, and when their party lost they sent in their resignations. The others are a set of sneaks, aud when their party loses they still hold on to their places. Your rule offers a premium aud protection to these sneaks. At the same time you ask me to name successors to those who were manly enough to tender their resignations. 1 won't do it. I'll not Ie party to any arrangement which will cut off the heads of decent Republi cans and allow the sneaks to live in official safety." Ex-SHTetary Fairchild, to whom Sec retary Carlisle recommended the Chero kee delegation' which went to New York this week to place the $'.HH,IHK in Uu ids based UjKin the deferred pay ments from the government for the "Cerokee outlet," did a good turn for the Indians when he advised the delega tion not to follow its original intention of negotiating the hoiuls. in Wall street, but instead to advertise for bids for the entire amount ot boiiLs, to lie o;h-:i.-1 here, and the members of the delegation showed their shrewd business sense by recognizing at on-e the value of the ad vice and accepting it. As the ImiikIs will pay -1 -r cent, interest, which is more than the government has paid on its Umds for yeais, and are practically guranle-d, principal aud inl-rt. by the government, ."Secretary Carlisle having agreed to sign a statement to th:it fled printed across the face of each Imrnl. it is exp4cted that the bidding will ! hvcly and that the lioixls will U- 1.1 fur enough aliove par to oay all the costs. That's the way lkmocrats show their friendliness for the Indians. Judge liiH-hren tersely defines the fiolicy uiion which he will run the -n-Sion ollice as follows: "The espial ener getic and exactly jiit administration of the cnioii laws as they are found upon the statute books. If a man is entitled to a -.ension he ought to have it, and if he is not entitled to it he should not apply. The department is really a court of claims, and it is the business and duty of its ollicials to enter upon examination of the pajK-rs submittal in ca-h case with patience and without bias. So far as lies iu my power this will be done. If public money is being paid to the un worthy it will lie discontinued." The Family's euius.

The latter died very suddenly, and her son, Charles Koesters, told the coroner the cause of her sudden death must le investigated; that since the middle of October live deaths, all with similar symptoms, had occured in his family. A dead fatality seems to follow the family. This evening, James the -year-old son of Mr. Kn-sters, was thrown from a horse and killd. This makes six dead within about six months. The coroner had Mrs. Koester's stomach ex amined, and arsenic was found in it. The girl Wagner was traced to a drug frtore where she recently tiought rough ou rats. Tornadoes Id Arkansas.

A neighbor's call, a'.out 3 o'clock this afternoon, upon the family of John Hoey, in New Haven, across the Yoiigh iogheny river from here, resulted in the discovery tlmt the entire family father, mother, and two children had leen murdered. From appearances the vic tims had been dead for some time. Their throats had lieen cut.

' - TRATnN Oliver Invented and Cave to tho World the Chilled Plow. tflUHBBB OLIVER 6HILLED PLOWS MADE ONLY BY THC Oliver Chilled Plow Works, South Bend, Indiana, ARE THE BEST GENERAL PURPOSE PLOWS IN THE WORLD. A strong statement but a true one, for these plows are better known, have reached a larger sale, have had a longer run, have proved more popular and given better satisfaction than any other plows on the face of the globe. .... We mean the GENUINE OLIVER, and not the imitations claim ing to be the Oliver, or equally as good. Such imitations are on the market, placed there by unscrupulous manufacturers who seek to trade on the good name of the Oliver. Look out for imitations, buy only the genuine Oliver plows and repairs, and be sure you are right before you take the plow home. WOnce more Beware of "bogus" Oliver plows and repairs, and take none but the genuine, made by the Oliver Chilled Plow Wokks, South Bend, Indiana. HENCH & DROMGOKD'S ALL BXJB13L.
