It is reported now that the rubber

We sincerely pity the Republicans of
this county—a large portion of them are
honest and wish to see matters go right;
we pity them for having to admit they
are responsible for such official botches
as Cook, Henderson and Decker. Goss
and Harter they need not be ashamed
of.
A TT——
Disguise as they may, there is nothing
troubling the Republicans 80 much as
the position of the Democracy upon the
tariff question, and their determination
to educate the people upon it. The tar-
iff-tax party is just now whistling while
passing a graveyard.

Govornor Boies was inaugurated Gov~
ernor of Iowa at Des Moiaes, the first
Democratic Governor of the state since
1854. In his address hs declared that
the Prohibition law had been openly
violated since its adoption and that “a
carefully framed license law” was the
only remedy.

laxpayers in localities where bridges
were repaired should carefully examine
the Auditor's Report to see whether a
snake has been “lumped” in any of the
bills paid, like that of which rumor fixes
on the bill for repairs of the Spring Mills
bridge. Taxpayers, keep both your eyes
open, some fellows are not trotting to
Bellefonte every day, for pothing—they

Senator Blair is tarribly ont of humor
at the newspapers of the land because
they did not give much space to his
three days’ speech on the educational
bill. This reminds us of a crank in these
parts who has been trying to get himse If
into notice by a lot of nonsense on taxa-
tion, and then complained to the ReroRr-
+r that “the Centre county papers (sic)
did not give him the recognition he de~
served.”
Berks county farmers are having hard
luck. The values of their farms bave
depreciated one-half; their products are
selling at very low rates; the roads are
poor, and taxes remain high ,— Phila-
delphia Inquirer.
Zyands! The republicans are in fall
possession of the country and the tariff
now in operation is of their making.
Alas, alack!

John L. Sullivan's appeal to the Su~

sentence upon him for prize fighting in
Marion County, comes up next Monday,

The sugar duty agreed on by the ways

a redaction of 75 per cent. In compen

Looking Ahead in Politics.
The National Democrat, the able and
aggressive Democratic weekly printed
at the national capital, contains in its
last issue an expose of the Republican
conspiracy to sesure control of the next
house and the electoral college of 1862
regardless of the wishes of the people,
The Democrat prints tables showing
what the Republicans propose to accom-
plish, Their scheme is to make the
nominal unit of population for a district
190,000, and expand the next house of
representatives to 348 members. This
wonld make the electoral college con
gist of 436 members, 219 being necessary
to a choice. They count upon 214 votes
as assured —being those of all the North.
ern State except New York, New Jer
sey, Connecticat and Indiana, The
Southern States and New Jersey and
Connecticut are conceded to the Demo~
crats,. New York and Iodiana are set
down as doubtful,
By fixing the anit of congreasional
representation at 190,000 the Republi
cans expect to make a pet gain of at
least 15 members of the electoral col-
lege. If this scheme is carried through,
the only States which will be compelled
to redistrict prior to the next election
will be Massachusett~, New York, Peon-
sylvania and Indiana. All of them, ex-
cept Indiana have Republican legis
latares. If any of these States fail to
redistriot in time, they will be required
to elect all their members on one ticket.
If the Republicans carry out this project
they will be able to elect a president in
{862 without the vote of New York,
provided they can carry either Indiana
or West Virginia,
“To carry through this plan,” ssys the
National Demscrat, “an unscrapulons
renegade Englishman has been placed
at the head of the census, and pre
parations are making to rush the census
returns together so that the total populs-
tion of the eountry can be figured up in
August, and the apportionment bill an
be pushed through before the first day
of September next.”

The Ph. Tima says: The depression
of the farming imterests is not only
isgical bat it is inevitable. They are
now paying nearly the same high war
taxes an everything they buy that they
paid when they received war prices of
$2 per bushel for their wheat snd like
prices for all their other products. The
needless tariff taxes the farmers pay upon
the necessaries of their indastry and the
necessaries of life would make the
difference between actual Joss and resona-
ble profit on any well regulated farm,
The farmers mocked with falee protee-
tion, and thus taxed excessively on what
they must buy when there is no possible
method of protecting them in their chief
products, the price of which is regulated
by the foreign market to which their
surplus must go. They are mocked by
protection on wool, when there are not
five hundred farmers in Pennsylvania
who would vot gain more from free wool
in cheapened woolens they consume
than they could possibly lose on wool;
and for the mockery of protection op
wool, vegetables, eges, butter, etc, they
are taxed in homeand bara from founda-
tion to roof. taxed in furniture, clothe
ing utensils, farm implements, and every-
thing that goes on their tables from salt
to china, with the single exception of tea
and coffee.

A Bridge Bill.
in the last Anditor’s Report will be
found this item: -
Spring Mills bridge
8, C. Decker, putting on
new plank...
$z272- W2T
Often to cover up a job, an account is
fumped and not itemized, Perhaps this”
is a case in point. Now the following
facts are given in regard to this bridge:
Ira Barger says he furnished the plask
and got $21 for them.
Two men worked one day putting
down the plank and were paid 83—$1.50
each—for the work. Total plank and
work, $24.
Now what the people of that vicinity
want to know is what was the excess of
$38.72 for ?
8. E. Decker, son of Commissioner
Decker, as we are told, gets $6272 for
this, without an itemized account being
printed, and the parties who farnished
the plank aod did the work, charged
only $24 for it all,
Perhaps Mr. Decker can write a letter
that will explain this to the taxpayers.
Are there any more “lumped” or hidden
jobs in the bridge secounts?
Facts for ail.
In spite of ail competition the Philad.

ters for actual bargains in ready made

A Married Women's Pewer.
Ever since the passage of the Married
Persons’ Property act of 1887 lawyers
have been in doubt whether a married
woman could give a judgment note at
all, and if so, for what purposes. For.
tunately for the bar and commanity, the
Supreme Court answered ‘his question
on Monday on the decision in Roup’s
appeal, reversing the judgment of com-
mon Pleas No 3. After a lengthy dis-
cussion of previous legislation, the then
condition of the law; and the provisions
of the act, the Supreme Court says:
“Viewed in this light it nofetiers a
marnied woman subject to the restric
tions before mentioned, for threes pur-
poses to wit: (1) Where she engages in
trade or bosiness; (2) injthe muosges
ment of her separate estate, and (3) for
necessaries. For any of these purposes
she may bind herself and her estate or
business by her contract, and I have no
doubt may ‘awfully confess a jadgment,
but beyond this we do vot think the act
confers any power. It is entirely proper
that the law should clothe her with suffi-
cient power to properly managa her sep-
arate estate, and when it suthorises
her to embark in business, it is right
that she should be held to her contract,
which can only be done by authorising
her to make such contracts, So
gard to necessaries,
them she should be authorized
herself and her estate for them ia the
usual manoer and by the usual forms by
in re-
to bind
jaries. Bat we are not disposed to say
that for every purpose she may make
as may a feme ecole, The legislature
must say 80 in langaage too clear to be
as this”

“The Farmers’ alliance” of the West

Ice harvesters are again in the dumps.
The weather of the past week has been
enough to discourage everybody except
doctors, undertakers and druggists. The
Huadson river is again free from ioe and
ia swollen eight feet adove its ordinary
level. Boats are plyiog as fresly as in
summer,
Estimates on the yield from the north
ern waters, Lake Chawplain, Lake
George and Saratoga lake, are that it will
be considerably below that given out two
weeks ago. One harvester who has gone
over territory carefally says that with
the erade mode for harvesting there will
not be to exceed 500,000 tons secured by
New York parties. This means just half
that amount when it reaches New York

The Altoona Tribune, Rep, wraps the
present congress over the knuckles in
this style:
Congress has now been in session ubout
three months and, in spite of the good
things promised, but little thus far has
been done. Much time has been wasted
fo an uopseemly wrangle over pars
liamentary law and io the adoption of
pew rules; two or three contested seat
cases have been decided but no business
of any especial importance, outside of
Speaker Reed's remarkable decisions,
bas been accomplished. If this con.
gress 1s to deserve weil of the country it
must now get down to work and attend
to the business which the people elected
it to do. Having adopted ita rules and
