5 THE CENTRE REPORTER. FRED KURTZ, Entror and Pror’s. Attorney-General Cassidy has given notice that he will file a bill in equity against the transfer of the Beech Creek and Bouth Penn’a railroads t6 the Penn’a rai'road company. : in Whois it that it is allaged wrote to delegates he would pay their hotel hills, if they came to Bellefonte and would vote for him for delegate to the state convention? Who knows?—our umus are open for the facts that the foot of scorn may be put on him, ath inte fens col- Over 80,000 persons have been attacked by cholera and 40,000 have died of it in Spain during the past three weeks; and yet it seems to create no sensation. Two vears ago, when the disease raged in Egypt, and last year when it visited Na- ples and the south of France, every one was talking of if, though in neither of these countries was the motality nearly 80 high as it is now in Spain. - Towa druggists make monthly reports of liquor gales, Great numbers of inva- lids who doctor themselves seem to be under daily aleoholic treatment. For in- glance, a small dealer in Muscatine, where all the sanitary conditions are favorable finds that it takes 51 feet of paper to enu- merate his sales for a month. He so'd as medicine 152 barrels of beer, 89 gal- lons of whi 19 of gin, 9 of alcohol and 3 of brandy. on ptf a leer sky, The Ohio Democratic State Cenvention last week, by acclamation and with marked npanmity and enthusiasm, nom- inated George Hoadly for re-election as Governor and John G. Warwick for re election as Lientenant-Governor. The opposition to the choice of these gentle- men was unable to crystalize before the meeting of the convention and thus diss organized fell to pieces when the dele gates took their places. The Democracy in all parts of the country will receive the news of this event with gratified hearts. — mm sn lf A MP The schedule of assets published by the assignees of Mr. John Roach foots tual assett of $4,481 478. If these assets are actually “actual,” it is evident that any sympathy felt for Mr, Roach’s mis- fortunes has been misplaced. His as signment is now in effect acknowledged to have been only a shrewd “dodge,” in- tended to secure him from the possible consequences of the Navy Department's action, in case Attorney-General Gar- lind’s opinion should be made the basis of legal proceedings against him. ei en The election of Cleveland was carried by the Democracy on pledges of purer politics and reform in the government. Bo far as Cleveland is concerned, we are glad to say, the pledge is being redeem- ed. But Democrats must not sit down now and think Cleveland will do all the waiching and put his foot down on all corrupt politicians and their corrupt ways. The rank and file must keep watching and point at corruption when- ever it raises its head, We are led to these remarks by a re- cent pointer of our Bellefonte corre- spondent, who called attention to a new and petty practice of bribery, paying of hotel bills by candidates for delegates to the state convention and for office. This is as much a bribe as if money were of- fered for support, and we are only sorry “Josephus” did not mention the name or names. When Sap't Wolf was elect- ed last time, a few directors who, no doubt, had been bribed in this manner in political convention, asked him to pay their hotel bills because they had voted for him. He heard the demand with just scorn, Another correspondent has made an equally just exposure, that of a petty attempt to become conspicuous by violating rule 9 of the party which fixes the locality of the delegate. Now if these exposures of crookedness are kept up as they become known, petty rascality will not live long in any party, and honest men will say Amen, a A oo Ap INDIAN SCHOOLS. The Pupils Show Themselves Susceptible of Civilization, Washington, A 20.~Mr. John H. Oberly, the new Buperintendent of In- dian Is, has made a report to the Secretary of the Interior in relation to the condition of the Chiloceo Indian In- dostrial School in the Indian Territory and the Haskell Institote at Lawrence, Ky. Atthe Chiloeeo school the report states that there are 176 pubils, ey have oily two teachers, both young lo~ dies and Superintendent Oberly says they are overworked. The male pupils are taught farm work and the fomales are taught general housework, sewing, cook ing, ete. Buperintendent Oberly speaks in the highest {oruin ot Haskell Tustitae where he says the pupils are ac- quiring a knowledge of the he guage and are doing as well in dustrial and mechanical THE WHEAT SITUATION, The Louisville Courier Journal, a just- ly recognized authority on agricultural matters, comments upon the condition of affairs which bas followed the harvest- ing of a wheat crop of fully 200,000,000 bushels, records it as in no way remrk- able, since “there is an immense supply on hand and a feeling of lethargy seems to pervade the foreign markets.” The visible supply is a very cumbrous clog upon the immediate market. According to the latest reports it now amounts to 39,000,000 bushels, nearly three times as great as the supply on hand a year ago, twice as great as two years ago and fully 100 per cent. greater than the average at the corresponding dates of 1882, 188] and 1880. These accumulations have taken place on comparatively moderate prices, foreign demand having been in- different and exacting, largely in con- sequence of the big stocks thrown into Epropean distributing quarters as a con- sequence of the war excitement of last spring. Latterly foreign buyers have also appeared to be operating onthe the- ory that the United States will be obliged to force sales of their accumula- tions to make way for the new crop. It is a very noticeable and promising fact, however, that Europe is not buying else- where while waiting for the inducement to buy in the United States, The supply afloat has been diminished by more than 8,000,000 bushels in a month and a half, At the same time there is an abund- ance of misrepresentation. A writer in the New York Tribune, discussing the outlook of breadstufls, adopts the Wash- ington estimate of yield-—357,000,000 bushels—and, after showing that the ay- erage yield of the last eight years was 444,000,000 bushels, he jumps to the con- clusion that the old crop surplus at the last harvest was 120,000,000 bushels, and concludes, therefore, that the supply is 477,000,000 bushels, He adds that “this is more than the average yield.” He thus chooses to confound the annual yield with the annual supply, If to the average yield of the eight years 75 per cent. of the present assumed surplus is added, the average annual supply would foot up 534,000,000 bushels, against his 477,000,000 bushels for There has not been such an average supply in this period or any other, but this would be the conclusion from the premises ad- vanced by the Tribune. The combined crop and supply of 1885-86 are by this writer placed in comparison with the crop alone in the preceeding eight years. The exports of wheat in the last eight years have averaged about 139,000,000 bushels, and the present consumption in the United States is about 320,000,000 bushels, a total of 459,000,000; so that, if exportation diminishes by 89,000,000 and home consumption by 20,000,000, there will be a demand for 400,000,000 bushels, out of a crop of 357,000,000 bushels, plus the unknown quantity of the old crop surplus, Bat be the light in which speculators view the market what it may, they should at the same time bear in mind that the present situation creates im- mense opportunities for manipulation against the public, and for the immedi- ate present the position is very hazard- ous for dealers on either side of the ac- count. Among the devices of late em- ployed to influence the market have been constant rumors of deterioration and heating in elevator grain. These rumors have been proven false once or twice in respect to Western elevators, and a statement that New York elevator stock had been seriously degraded has Leen disproven within the past week, APIA sii asi.

His bill enacted the constitutional provi- sion into statute law, and provided pen- alties for the violation of it. Senator Cooper, the Chairman of the Republican | State Committee, led the opposition, and by invoking party disciplinary meas- ures defeated it in a Legislature that was Republican in both branches. It is now believed that both Senators Wallace and Cooper wereguided in their labors by an idea that such a deal as has been attempted was in contemplation, and that Wallace aimed to protect him- self and his friends in the State who were subscribers to the South Penn. sylvania and Beech Creek enterprise against the plans of Vanderbilt, while Cooper had in view the interests of the other corporation and the promotion of Vanderbilt's plans. It Is remembered also that an effort to procure an endorse. ment of the prohibition provision of the Constitution in the Republican platform a month ago was defeated by Senator Cooper's friends, It is said that the process which the Attorney-General will adopt will reach the question, notwith. standing the failure of the Legisaiture to adopt the “appropriate legislation.” The Sonth Pennsylvania and Beech Creek roads were chartered by the State since the adoption of the Constitution of 1873, and consequently became amenable to its prohibition clauses without addition- al legislation. Those shareholders in the two corporations to be absorbed will ap~ ply to the Attorney-General for a man- damus to prohibit the majority share owners from disposing of the franchises granted to the roads in that way, and the Attorney-General will rule in their fa- vor and ask the Governor to revoke thel charters. The best lawyers express the belief that this course will defeat Mr. Vanderbilt's scheme and compel him to proceed with the work of building the roads or forfeit his interest, amounting to something like five millions of dol- lars, m——— dt ————— BEN BUTLER AS'A COWBOY.

It is bad in daytime, but ona Wiiter night, when the snow flies fast, Xie locomotive is a good place {0 keep out of. Even in the day it is impossible to gee anything if a snow storm prevails. The rails run right up into the air. Nothing can be seen ahead but a jumping off place. The windows are {frozen up or covered with snow, and from innumerable cracks and crevices around the floor where it joins the boiler come draughts thatbite and sting. The engine caws like a crow—haugh, haugh, now fast, now slow, scocording as the drifts cover the track or uncover it for a brief space, and when it strikes a drift it throws the snow in blinding clouds all over itself, just as the spray flics over a vessel shipping & sea. The track is rough, for the frost haa disturbed if, and the engine lurches ahead, staggor- ing to and fro like a drunken man. There are few more impressive speciacios in this world than a powerful locomotive laboring through a heavy snow-storm. To the observer beside the track it looms up through the gloom tremendous and awful. The locomotive seems the embodiment of the Death Angel, moving swiftly and noisclessly. The snow has mufiled the whir of the rolling friction of the wheels on the rails, and the train glides by like the unsubstantial pageant of a dream.
