| - om VOLUME { Yj SERIES, XVI THE CENTRE REPORTER. FRED. KURTZ, Eprron and Prov's. i + isms Several storms are reported from west of the Mississippi last Saturday, doing much damage to towns and crops, and causing the loss of some lives. There appears to be qutie a boom in the sir for the old ticket, Tilden and Hendricks. We would not be surprised to see it get under full headway for the white-house. The Republicans are not harmonious all through. Col. Duff, late Independent nominee for Lieut. Governor, says he and a good many others will not swal- low the present Cameron fix-up ticket. It leaks out that the recent Republi can state convention resulted in ajslaugh- ter of boss Quay by boss Magee, both old Cameron bosses, and that Don wished Quay to get a black eye, fearing he was getting to be too big a boss. The legislative conference commiitees could not agree. The bosses’ committee insisted upon having nearly all the dis- tricts while the Democrats claimed only their fair share. pe pe The Republican state convention met at Harrisburg on 11, and on 6th ballot nominated Capt. Wm. Livesey, of Alle- gheny, for State Treasurer. Un 5th bal- lot J. B. Niles, of Tioga, was nominated for Aud. General. There was little en- thusiasm among the crowd, and the tick- ¢t was fixed on by the slate managers be- forband. he Why not congress demand members elected upon a constitutional apportion- ment or reject the whole batch? The state Constitution says that the apportionment shall be of “compact and contiguous territory.” This the Repub- licans now refuse to obey, so that they nay unfairly get 20 out of the 28 districts. The Republican senators took the oath to obey the Constitution. Now if an unfair apportionment is to be the outcome, in spite of all the offers of the Democrats for a fair one in accor- dance with the Constitution, then is there not a remedy in an appeal to Con- gress and could not that body exclude a delegation sent there upon an apportion- ment that clearly violates the letter and spirit of the Constitution? The federal Constitution says each house shall judge the qualifications of its members. ————— Col. D. H. Hastings, of Bellefonte, has been appointed Asst. Adjutant General on the staff of Gen.

Pattison’s ve- toes are belittled ; it's where they take from the pocket books. As long as the people can stand the vetoes, all right— and the people seem to take to them pretty well, Gov. Pattison’s vetoes, thus far, mean less taxes for the farmer and working- man and no pay for services not ren- dered by tLe stall-fed oxen. isi AGP AAA The Erie saloon keepers have taken a new departure. Théy have a Reform Association of Saloon Keepers and Lig- nor Dealers, which met the other even- ing and resolved to prosecute three or four dealers who have been violating the law by selling on Sunday and to minors. The Law and Order Society of Temper- ance Workers stand aghast at this de- partare, I “ALL RIGHT?! The above is what the sub-bosses ca- bled to Don, now in Europe, after their ticket was nominated last week, Of course, Don understood that to mean that his deputies had their own way in fixing things in accordance with his wishes and that the Independents had been entrapped thinking the boss fox was away from home, We'll see whether the people will say, “All right,” to this dish of the bosses. ne. The barbed wire decision in 8t, Louis, upsetting the Washington and Moen pat- ents, has borne its first fruits in a propo- sition from the members of the combina. tion formed by the owners of the patents to reduce royalties, whose amount is nearly half the present cost of barbed wire, and barbed wire is to day the chief cost of turning Western plains into graz- ing grounds, Bessemer steel, which has cheapened railroads so grestly, would have cheapsoed barbed wire fencing equally if it were not for the royalties exacted by these patents.

On the apportionment, Wallace closed the debate, referring to the personalities that had been injected into the discus sion. He said that crimination and re- crimination were useless in the settle ment of great questions. The people want fairness, justice and equity. This broad thought had actuated the Demo- eratic sides and they proposed to fore the people with. The legislature of 1883 was about to pass into history. Senators could not close their cyes to the evidences that theywere about to ad- journ and that the misshapen, unfair un- equal districts of the old apportionment wonld remain, By the present arrange- ment it took 24,000 Republicans to elect a Congressman, while it required 52,853 | A Republican Senator rep- 20 be- Democrats. resented but 1,981 votes, while a cratic represented 24,634. The of the Republican action was not to have any apportionment. The Republicans did not introduce any apportionment bills at the regular session. They said’ “The law is better for us as it stands ; let it continue.” The House bill when it came to the Senate remained in commit- tee from April 4 to May 3—one month —before it was reported. The Legisia- tive bill was also kept in committe a month and was not reported until May 11, The McCracken bill required 16,000 more Democrats than Demo- key-note Republicans to elect a Congressman, bill Lackawanna and Montgomery coun- | ties were set down as Democratic, they had Republican majorities in It gave the Republicans Democrats 18 Senators, Th ASC and Doe Phares i 1 eIoCra had offered 28 Republicans and 22 Dem- been repeated, 1 DilCans crats, which offer had and 16,285 pu would elect a Senator, while it would There the action of the Republican seated political scheme to get the Uni States Senators in 1855 and 1887, and this was why the Constitution was lated. Mr. Wallace concluded minding the Republicans that, by on this basis quire 26,830 Democrats, refus ing to make a Congressional apportion- ment, they jeopardized the Pennsylvanis delegation in the Forty-ninth Congress —certainly, the member-at-large.

Trivurn or tae Dremixe Birvouge--It is generally admitted that the trial of binders on the Huston farm, near Centre Hall, last Monday, resulted in a trinmph for the Deering machine, and on account of its splendid work it found a purchaser right on the spot, in the lessee of the farm, Mr. Peter Breon, who gave it pre- ference over all competing machines, At the trial the Deering moved in grace. fully as a queen and moved out as con- queror, The Deering delivered her even. ly shaped and tightly bound sheaves with an elegance and regularity that won for this unsurpassed binder the ad: miraticn of the specta.ors. Besides the serfectness with which the Deering did its work, all admitted that it was remar- kably easy on the team. The Deering is now the recognized master of the field as a binder, both as regards el ce of work and lightness of draft. There is no purpose here to run down any other binder, but simply to direct the attention of farmers to the peer machine as demonstrated after a fair trial before an impartial jury. The Deering is that machine, and no other now in the field surpasses it—it is so near perfection that there is scarce room for any thing better, » vo a The New Hampshire Republicans are still divided on the election of a U, 8, Senator, with no prospects of harmony, ~The Republicans have made their nominations and the most significant plankfin their platform is this one, that where | fail to derive any benefit from the tariff, the next best place (0 re sort to is the Philad, Brmoch for new men and boys—~and on this is sue they will go before the people, Tom, Thomb died of apollexy on 15, | The Longwell murder is not the first in Mifila co, Eiseobise PENN HALL ITEMS, On Sanday eve Rev.

Say, for instance, that the harmony in blue and gold which she wore inthe first act was charming, but that the right leg of the talile at the back was not so purely Grecian as it might have been, and that the candlestick used in the second act was all out of harmony with the snuff- ers.

Straw Lumber, At Lawrence, Kan, is a factory en- geged in making a substitute for lum- ber, It has the appearance of a first- class sound-board, free from knots, sap and wind shakes, Black walnut will get a black eye when brought into con- tact with it, Hardwood representations arc made so closely that the eye cannot detect the difference between the real and the imitation, The American Architect 18 our au- thority for saying that straw lumber is admirably adapted to many kinds of finishing work, barrels, table and eoun- ter tops, doors and ornamental work, and can be produced at less than half of the present cost of walnut, The di- mensions of boards may be made to suit the buyer, of any width, length or thickness. It is susceptible of a high polish, and works eT with paint and varnish. It is practically fire and water-proof, being manufactured under 500 deg. heat. Its tensile strength is greater than that of walnut or oak, and it is but little heavier than walnut. It is made from any kind of straw, hemp, or flax fiber. A ton of straw will make 1,000 feet of boards. It is made into pulp, rolled into thin sheets, and these are united by cement and pres- sure, 80 as to make the desired hick- [CSR, These features make the new lumber a valuable product in the great West and Northwest. One acre of land will produce enough straw to make 35,000 fect of lumber each year. It is a good walnut tree that in fifty years will cut a twenty-four inch board, and 20,000 feet of lumber is a good yieid from one acre of forest, If then the straw Inmber shall prove as valua- ble as the claims made for it, we have an imports step in the solution of lumber supply. —LS 5 A — CT —% A Beauty Snubbed. It is whispered, says the London cor- respondent of the New York Tribune, in the serene altitudes of the best so- ciety, and it is muttered in the next stratum, - that—my pen ter-r-r-r-embies at the thought—Miss Chamberlaine has been very nearly “cut” by the princess of Wales. Her royal highness was very cordial the other day to every lady pres- ent, shaking hands with all ef them, but merely returning Miss Chamberlaine’s salute in the stiffest manner. The prin- cess is not only a pretty and good, but extremely sensible woman, and know. ing the prince to be a confirmed male flirt, smiles gently al the ftoguades by which he is affected. When he consti- tuted himself the cavalier, first of Mrs, Langtry, and then of Mrs. Cornwallis West, his wife was extremely kind to those ladies, who knew perfectly well how to keep the heir-apparent in his ace and thus maintain their own. As was not at Homburg when the prince was there I can not repeat the untrust- worthy chatter | hear about Miss Cham- berlaine and the prince. No actual im- propriety is suggested, but it seems that they appeared together in public too often to please a censorious world, and behaved with a freedom pro- nounced quite unprecedented. he worst of all was the indiscretion of a certain illustrated newspaper, in which appeared a full page wood-cut of the prince and Miss Chamberiaine looking at the fireworks at Homburg. This work of art was, I hear shown to the princess, who is, as any other lady would be, annoyed that her husband's flirtations should be made public and give an impression that she is a slight- ed wife. Any hopes that Miss Cham. beriaine’s friends may have entertained of seging her run as the fashionable beauty of next season are now at an end, notwithstanding her “gypsy face and angel's hair.” ———— -...
