District Attorney James L. Lenahan, of " nzerne county, has announced that he will indtitute critninal proceedings against thirty-six Democrats and twen- ty-three Republican delegates for ac- cepting bribes to vote for certain candi- dates for nomination, at the recent con- vention held in that county. The war ran's for the arrest of the accused will be placed in the hands of the county de- tective at once. The persons to be ar reside in Hazelton, Plymouth and Nanticoke, The district attorney's ation has caused much excitement in political circles there. There came near being a case of this kind in onr county last fall, only the 1 to dropping it lied The troubles of Republicans in this State are multiplying. The platform pledges on the subject of prohibition and anti-diserimination are alike both ersome. The refusal of the Democratic Senators to vote on the prohibtion amendment has greatly perplexed the Republican leaders. Senator Rutan's compensatory clause--that is, an addi. tional amendment providing for compn- # ation to liquor men for losses sustained by the wiping out of their business will be voted on. on Toesday, and the Senator is anxious to have the Demo- erats vote for or against, The purpose is to send the two propositions to the people at once, and it is expected that one will defeat the other, thos giving the party the appearance of keeping their pledges, when, in fact, they are kept. The Democrats will not aid them in the little enterprise, and an un. “expected result may follow, IN PENNSYIL- rested PA.. WEDNESDAY, HAVING HIS OWN WAY. NEWS OF TH E WEEK.

J, has considerably changed our views, and especially our prejudices in regard to what are general ly known as “Standard Patent Medicia- es” Of course we are getting to that age in life when we are forced to conclude Life itself is a humbug, and naturally dis- rast auyihing that has not withstood long and tried experiences. Being a puysican I bad the curiosity to know how such a sale of two medical prepara- tions could be sustaived for so many years, The perfect system upon which tie business is conducted, and the pharmaceutical arrabgements for the manufacture of the two recipes with which we were made acquainted, are sufficiently convincing to us that the Avovsr. Frown, for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaints, and Boscner's Gam sax Syuvr, for Throat and Lang Trou. bles, were for the complaints they are recommended, most excellent remedies, and only regret that in much of our prac. tice, medical ethics prevent us from pre- scribing them without making the form- nias pu When we were shown the quantity of volan letiers hav. ng been Dr, from all batts af the county, and from all classes
