The story of the reporter is printed, and is to the effect that out of eleven fashionable churches visited she was cordially welcomed at four; tolerated but rather coldly treated at two; given good seats at three, though regarded with apparent curiosity, and told that there were no seats at two. She was the only poorly dressed person visible at any of the churches, Mr. Caroll D. Wright, commissioner of the national barean of labor, has submit. ted to congress a special report on mars riage and divorce in the United Stites during the period from 1867 to 1888 in clasive, In that time 328716 divorces were granted, showing that nearly 700. 000 persons in the country were made so unhappy by their matrimonial ventures that divorce was their only resort. The increase of population dariog the twenty years was 60 per cent, but the increase in divorce was about 157 per cent. or a good deal more than twice the increase of population. These figures show that the effort now belug made fo secure uni. formity of divorce laws in the several states is a most important one, worthy the earnost support of every citizen who loves his country and who realizes that the preservation of the family life in essential 10 the or sven She _ominionse of the r DESPERATE REPUBLICANS. They Will Try to Unseat Breckinridge Now at Any Cost. Mr. Breckinridge is a Democratic con~ gressman elect from Arkansas. His op- ponent, Mr. Clayton, was making ar- rangements to contest the election when he was shot dead by an unknown villain, Mr. Breckinridge is a member also of the present house, and at the time of the tragedy he was in Washington attending to his duties. The murder of Clayton was a shocking affair, as all such deeds of violence are, but it furnishes no evi- dence that he was elected to congress, or that his assassination was due to his po- litical prominence. The deed has been condemned by the entire state, and a re- ward of unusual value has been offered for the murderer. The next house of representatives has a Republican majority so small that many Democrats must be unseated to give the majority party a safe grip on legislation. With this policy well un- derstood and thoroughly indorsed, Re- publican newspapers now demand that Breckinridge be one of the Democrats to give up his seat. No evidence is pre- sented on which to base this extraordi- nary proposition, and the right and wrong of the matter is not even dis- cussed. Breckinridge's seat is wanted; an excuse, though a feeble one, can be found for excluding him; a wholesale in- dictment for murder found against the people of a state, and he must go.

A bill has been introduced in the leg- islature to adopt the Australian system of voting in this state, By it all the vot- ing is done in a room fitted up for the parpose, into which but few persons will be permitted to enter at one time. Upon entering the room the woter receives from two election officers appointed from opposing political parties an official ticket, printed at the public expense, con- taining the names of all the candidates nominated by the various parties for the respective officers. He then steps behind a guard rail into a private shelf apart- ment where he marks a cross in a bisok space opposite the name of the person for whom he wishes to vote, After thus quietly preparing his ticket the voter steps to the inspector, who deposits the ballot in the box, then leaves the room. All the tickets are officially stamped on the back, only one is given to each voter and if in preparing his spoils it he must return it before he can get another, If the voter is unable to read or from any other cause is unfitted to make up his ticket a sworn official enters the booth with him.

The liquor traffic, broadly defined, is the business of making and selling dis- tilled and fermented liquors. Prohibis tion does not usually cover all phases of the liguor traffic. There are proper uses for alcohol and wines and perhaps a few other lignors, Alcohol is used ex- tensively for medical, art, scientific and industrial purposes. Wines are used in sickness and in the sacrament of the Lord's Sapper. With these exceptions, some of which sre necessary and all are allowable, State prohibition forbids all manufacture and sale of all distilled and fermented liquors. The liquor traffic as condemned is the making and selling for drinking purposes of all intoxicants. It is to the making and selling, not to the drinking, that prohibition applies. The moral right of prohibition of the liquor traffic as thus defined does not not a sin per se to drink a glass of liquor, and if it is nota sin per scto drinks glass of liquor it is not a sin per s to sell a glass of liquor, noris it asin perseto make a glass of liquor, If it were a sin per se to drink or sell, or make a glass of liquor, it would be as wrong to license it, under any circumstances, as it would be to license prostitution, which isa sin per s¢. The moral right of prohibition rests upon the indubitable fact that the lignor workmen, at lower prices than ever. Ladies’ and gents’ dress shoes and in fact anything you want to gee in the line of boots and shoes at low ot prices, at Powers’ shoe store, Belle- onte, ~The predominating feature of the Bellefonte election was the settlement of the question as to whether the cows should be permitted to m=ke pasture lots of the streets of Bellefonte.
