Last Saturday's delegate elections in
Allegheny scared Quay 80 badly that he
has not been able to bait a fish hook
since.
The other day in Iowa, a man was
knocked down and stunned by a hail
stone, It must have been one of the “Hail
Columbia” kind.

It is denied that Wanamaker desires

Five men named Barnard, three of
them brothers, who have been ontlaws
in Upper East Tennessee for years, have
just been tried for murder at Sneedsville,
Hancock county, and sentenced to death.
The day of execution has not yet been
fixed.
Mr. Carnegie complains of the high
price of ore this year, which is protected
by a good rate of tariff. Last year he
complained of the price of labor, which
was not protected at all. The price of
ore does not come down, but the cost of
labor does.
HSIN,
Minnesota has started a Temperance
Reform that begins in the right place
and goes to the root of the evil of drank-
enness. Persons who expose themselves
in public in a state of inebriety are to be
arrested and punished, without reference
to their station in life, appearance or re-
spectability. All sottishness is to be re-
pressed. This is Temperance Reform
worth having.
Gov. Beaver has reappointed Dr. Hig<
bee State Superintendent of Public In-
struction, and appointed Barton D. Evans;
of West Chester, superintendent of State
printing:
This sction of the Governor is not pop.
ular, and he knew that the people were
dissatisfied with Higbee. Much better
would it have been—and more deserved
—had the appointment been conferred
upon Prof. D. M. Wolf, of our county.
TST,
The Democrats have carried Montana
at the election for delegates to the con
gtitutional convention, which is prelim
inary to statehood. This indicates that
the new State will be Democratic, and
we have little doubt North and South
Dakota will vota the same way, once the
tariff question is fairly presented to their
voters. They are purely agricultural
States, and their highest interest is the
best market abroad for their wheat and
flour,

Judge Furst had one whole week of
court in Huntingdon, trying violations of
the liquor laws. Some of the lawbreak-
ers were salted pretty heavily—getting
the full extent of the law. For a county
that has had no licensed houses for two
years, this looks as if some folks will
bave their toddy, and that there are
many who run the risk of the law to sell
it. These will have time to reflect over
it in prison, and make up their minds
that the way of the transgressor is hard.
The Pittaburg Post, 18th, has this bit
of news from protective tariff Carnegie’s
works: “To day the 2,500 men employ-
ed at Carnegie, Phipps & Cos Homes
stead works will be surprised in a most
radical and unexpected manner, The
men, according to the firm's statements,
proposed to ask for an advance in wages
that would average an increase of 684 per
cent. over present prices. But Car vegies
Phipps & Co., have anticipated and fore-
stalled any such design by a counter
move demanding an average reduction
of 20 per cent. on the wages now paid,”
qtiirer feigned insanity a week ago, and
80 well did he play Lis part that expert
physicians pronounced him a fit subject
for treatment in the Philadelphia hospi
tal for the insane,
The editor of the Inquirer who detailed
the reporter to investigate the inner
mannagement of the institution was of
the belief that the insane patients were
not properly treated, and the story which
the reporter tells sh ws that the belief
was well founded,
According to the reporter some of the
keepers jump upon, kick and otherwise
sbuse the harmless and unfortunate crea-
tures without, however, official knowl
edge or sanction, It is certain that the
matter should be fully investigated, and
itis very evident that there is “some~

Jenks on the Administration.
THE EX-SOLICITOR GENERAL GIVES SOME
INTERESTING ESTIMATES,
“What is my opinion of President Har-
rison ? Well, he is an honest man, but
what he doesn’t know is not worth
knowing. When a man lacks the elex
ments of humility and faith he will res
tain his stock of knowledge, but he will
never learn anything in addition, He
listens to no suggestions and be is not
slow to make one understand that what
you tell him he has known for some
time,”
“I am about convinced that Mr. Miller
is the ablest man in the Cabinet, He
has brains and courage, and has confi~
dence enough in hisability to acl on his |
conclusions, I feel pretty sure that Mr. |
Miller was the mainstay of the firm of |
Harrison and Miller, It strikes me that
the President has always leaned on him |
and he now wanta him near him. A}
better man than Miller could not have |
been appointed, aod the people who
frowned at his appointment, because he
was unknown, are beginning to see that
he is a man of great executive ability.”
“As for Mr. Blaine, the president
would have a fit of the horror if a man
should ever breathe that anyone beside
General Harrison is President, He be-
lieves that his own innate popularity
elected him, though he concedes that
Senator Quay did good work and contrib-
uted materially to his success.”
“Mr, Blaine, however, has shown that
he has considerable influence in the cons
sular service. At present he is sick; not
seriously, but he suffers constant pain,
The people know Blaine and his reputa~
tion will not suffer.”
“Mr, Harrison is not there to learn
anything, bat it is ridiculous for any man
to think that he knows it all.”
“I think Quay has move influence with
the president than any other man, Next
to him I would place Senator Allison,
and beyond these I would not like to
make guesses, I believe Quay is respon-
gible for the stories that there is a cold-
pess between the President and himself.
He has had them circulated to deliver
himself from the srmy of office seekers.
He made many promises and in twenty
nine cases out of thirty he can't keep
them, and, besides, he
be bothered.”
“To simply tell the hungry ones that
he is out with the President and has lost
his influence with him satisfies the office |
seeker and the Senator relieved. 1
know that Quay holds numerous inter
views with the president and I have
every reason (0 that the pair
stand pretty close to each other.”
“Senator Cameron has agreed to stay
out and leave the patronage to the junior
statesman. He goes off to Europe and
bids good bye to politics. There is noth-
ing easier in the world to do.”
“I also believe that the President ia
trying to make the Republican party in
the South independent of the regro vote.
He makes great professions of kindness
for them; bat what has he done snbstan-
tially for the colored people? They
come 10 see him in bevies of 25 to 50, and
he treats them in many instancesin a
sneering sort of manner.”
“I have nothing to say about the future
of the administration. I only hope it]
will be as successful as the departed one.
As the year goes by the people will be-
gin to see the glory of Cleveland's work
and he will compare in history with
many of his predecessors.”

The Rev. Dr. Milburn, the Chapla in
of the House of Representatives, at
Washington, isa blind mao: He has
been blind from childhood, but a man of
more distinguished appearance cannot
be found in Congress. He bears a strik-
ing resemblance to Governor Gordon,
His daughter leads him to the Capitol
each morning about eleven o'clock, and
from that hour until noon he sits in the
reception room smoking, while Miss
Milburn reads to bim the moming pa-
pers, Whenever anything is read which
strikes him, hoasks to have it read a
second time; it is indeed a rare exceps
tion when, in his opening prayers, he
does not refer to something his daughter
has just read to him from the morniog
papers. By his reference to current
events and the strikingly beautiful and
eloquent language of his prayers, he has
made a friend of each and every member
and some of the more religiously incline

With a two-day’s attendance in the
senate Quay invariably breaks down
from overwork, which obliges him to go
on a three week's fishing trip to recupe<
rate ; then he returns home for a ten
day's rest from the fatigues of fishing,
and then he is ready for a two day's sit
in the senate, when it becomes necessary
for ham to go fishing again. And that's
