ST — The county commissioners of Lycom- ing have been arrested, Foresman and Btreibergh by Constable Piatti, charged by the Supervisors of Cascade township with having refused and neglected to re pair and maintain, after haviog been re. quested to do so,a county bridge over Salt Run. Aftera hearing before Al- derman Stead they gave bail for their appearance at court for trial. Commis foner Starr will also be arrested on the sams charge to morrow. When M. I. Gardner rose in the coun ty convention and announced his inten- tion to support Mr, Schaeffer, his rival for the nomination for prothonotary, when that gentleman came out the win- ner, he displayed the qualities of a good faithful Democrat, There was no rore- headed and maleish disposition about Mr. Gardner to kick, because he came out second best, and he now shows that he is as good as his pledge to abide by the decision of the county coavention, Mr. Gardner will do his best for the elec. tion of the ertire ticket, The Pope is preparing to leave Rome, The decision of the pontificial major domo to refuse to officers of the Vatican Goards their usual leave of absence points to the eventual departure of the Pope from Rome.

It is noticeable the re duction of duties they insist on is much more radical than was proposed by the Miils bill. Bat if the New England iron and steel men are entitled to material, is there not even a free raw ne cessity for free wool and lower duties on the consumers of greater of woolen fabrics in the body of goods, numbering some sixty odd mil lions in the United States 7 The woolen industry of New England is in about bad way as the iron and steel industry, and from the same cause. The Wool Reporter says since the first of January there have been fifty failures of woolen manufacturers in the United States They are going down like a row of bricks, In Boston last week the sales amounted to 1015000 pounds, against 6,600,000 pounds for the corresponding week last year. A Boston trade repost says “a complete gloom pervades the market, and it is an almost thankless task to try and sell wool in any consider- able quantity.” This was not promised the wool growers and manufacturers if Harrison was elected and the Mills bill defeated. An extraordinary meeting of the National Association of Wool Manu factarers has been called, to meet in Bos- ton, September 17, and one object men- tioned for consideration is the revision of the wool duties. We presume if they are not allowed free wool they will ask an additional tax on manufactured wool- ens. They will not get that, Free wool is their only alternative. The march of events is with the tariff reformers, Vie- tory is in sight.

The proposed suit against the South Fork Hunting and Fishing Club was brought forward the other day by the committee sending notifications to all business men and property holders, ré" questing them to meet on Monday even- ing to “take action in regard to the loss of property sustained by the citizens of Johnstown and vicinity, caused Ly the recent flood.” The members of the com- mittee, when asked what action would likely be taken, said that the movement was a preliminary one for the purpose of securing the united support of the busi ness men of the town, especially inthe matter of securing the necessary finans cial backing. Messrs, Thomas and Sten ger, of the commitiee, have no doubt that sufficient money will be raised to push the suit for all there is in it and farther expect that the united action of the business men of the town will give an impetas to the scheme, sa MAA ————————— Subscribe for the Rerorren, only $1.50. .

On last Tuesday afternoon a son of Charles Heisler, met with a horrible death at Maitland’s boiler shops near the depot at Bellefonte, The boy was the only son of Mr. Heisler, aged about 13, and was employed in the boiler shop. The bands were engaged in rolling a large boiler up a platform, and young Heisler war at the lower side to adjust the blocking as the boiler was being rolls ed up, Hesat on the platform while doing this, but had been cautioned against the daoger of his position io onase the boiler should roll back. The men lost control of the boiler, and before Heialer conld get np and ont of its reach the ponderous thing went over him, crushing his head into a flat mass, Death was instancous.

Thus none dared to gpeak the {rath abovea whisper and in the end each got nearly what was wants ed, only they all had to be loaded with taxes upon raw materials because raw material producers, even if employing little labor, demanded a full share of the swag under threat of retaliation on the mavufaciurers, Then came the crazy quilt tariff patchwork of 18583, In 1858 the cowardice of woolen manu- facturers was more bhumiliatiog and the fraud upon our general industries was simply disgraceful, It was JBES, just on the threshold of a pational political contest, that the wool growers and manufacturers were summoned to Washington, and when, as their own or- gan justly says, they made themselves “a source of contempt and the lasghing 8 ock of the nation ever since,” They were there notified that and wools ens must go band io hand and be pro- tected together, although wo yl woolens are largely the prodoet of labor, while wool is the product of oniy nominal labor, and both were promised increased tariff du. ties on their products as partof the new protective policy, The farce or fraud was carried so far as to be incorporated in a campaign tariff bill that passed the Senate, in which the tariff taxes on both wool and woolens were increased, That done the wool and woolen men were called upon for large party contributions to assure them the protection promised, anc these traders in oppressive taxes on consumers retired, as their organ truly declares, to enjoy the “contempt” of those who knew what they had done and to become “the laughing stock of the nation.” The party cause with which they bar- tered and for which they contributed their money so lavishly, succeeded at the election; and it was not until our woolen industries saw that Congr: ssion. al relief appeared hopeless that failures came—slowly at first, but later in num- monishthose who trade with politicians for oppressive taxes that the woolen in- dustry, like every other legitimate en- terprise, must be founded on a legitimate business basis.

That league in one form or another has existed ever since, and it was the foundation of the compact little Swiss confederation. The government since 1201 has passed through six con- stitutional phases. The present consti tution was adopted in 1848, and stands for what the Swiss patriots believe to be the model of republican organic law. The Swise republic, however, is very unlike our own. To begin with, it has no president such as we understand by the term. The executive department con sists of a federal council, composed of seven members.
