When the silver bill is disposed of the legisiative, execative and judicial ap- committee on commerce, and by the bers of the dnance committees expect to have the tariff bill ready to repor:. importance ¥ The TariflfT Taxes and the Farmer. Just at this time, when the farmer is receiving 80 much consideration at the hands of the Republican party in con- gress, when the members overburdened with love to the farmer, prepare to in- crease the duty on the 1,946 bushels of wheat imported into this country each year for seed purposes, and thereby places him for the increase in tax on the clothing he wears and the agricul. tural implements he uses; when the 2,- 388 bushels of corn yearly imported is to be compelled to pay a higher rate; when the 16 bushels of rye that come to us each year from foreign pauper shores is +0 be hereafter compelled to pay an in- creased tax for the protection of the Am. erican farmer, who last year exported 90,000,000 bushels of wheat, 69,000,000 bushels of corn, and other agricultural products in proportion, it is interesting to receive from a farmer a statement of the amount of this indirect tax the pro tection to farm products must place in his pocket to offset the burden imposed upon him even by the present tariff rate The Leader's farmer friend has figured up how much tariff taxes cost him io a year.

Is it because the r-publican editors of such papers desire the defeat of their own party? Is there a democrat so thick-skolled as to doubi for one mo” ment that the only object these men have is the defeat of the democratic par- ty? Why, the fact 1s that from Boss Quay down to the little paste-pot editor of ths smallest organeite dodger the nomination of Mr. Wallace is the one thing dreaded. No repablican that has as much braios as a good sized Louisiana mosqailo bat knows that the nominas tion of Mr. Wallace means a thoroughly organizad and equipped democracy that will crush cut Qaay and Qaayi sm for all Adulteration.

The case of Silverman, the original package man tried in Kittanning for vios lating the Brooks law, as well as the prohibitory act of the borough, was con- cluded on Friday morning. Thera were threo counts in the indictment—selling in a prohibitory district and wihoat a li- cense, selling to minors and selling to persons of known intemperate habits. Silverman set up the United States Bus preme Court decision as a defense, and denied that he had sold either to minors or intemperate persons, Both the pros. ecution and the defense submitted a number of law points upon which they asked the Court to charge the jury. Judge Reyburn, before whom the case was tried, refused to affirm the points of the prosecution, which claim that the selling was in violation of the prohibito~ ry law of the district, holding that if the beer was sold in the original package the defendant could not be indicted. If the defendant, however, to minors or intemperate persons, it was a plain vios lation of State law and would not come under the inter-State decision, because the State had a right to make police reg sold ulations for the protection of such classes named, The question whether the beer sold was in original packages the Court left to the jury to decide. After an absence of over two hours, the jury found the defendant was not guilty of selling without a license or to minors, but was guilty of selling to per sons of intemperate habits. The defense says this verdict virtually decides that the original package decision "'is a go” in the State, and that liquor dealers simply throw away money in paying for a State license. The case will probably be ap~ pealed, but the impression is that Silver- man will be sentenced on the count upon which he was found guiity. ss icra mI MS The annual report of the Secretary of Internal Affairs on assessments, taxes and vital statistics shows that the assessy ment returns from the several counties of the State as cowpared with those of 1888, show a marked increase in the amount and value of all the subjects re- ferred to except the value of salaries, emoloments of office, ete, In the num- ber of taxable inhabitants returned there is again of 80,571, the greater portion of which B in the return from Philadel phia, the increase in thai county being 79.640 over the previous year. The re ports from the counties of Allegheny, Blair, Centre, Cumberland, Franklin Lackawanna, Luserne, Mifflia, Warren and Wyomiog show a slight decrease in the number of taxables, while Juniata reports the same as last year. The re maining counties give an increase, There is an increase of 1, 801,077 acres of cleared Jand and 782,028 acres more timber land reported than last year, The whole amount of cleared and timber land in the State by actual survey is 28.808, 442 acres, while the total number of acres returned by the assessors as clearad and timbered land is 23,000 382, leaving 5. 200,000 acres not reported. The counties of Carbon, Delaware, Hontingdon, Northampton and Philadelphia failed to make any report on this subject. There is an incpease of 20 404 in the number of horses returned, and an in- crease of 1,733,366 in their value, and in the number of cattle the increase is 41, 867, with an increase of $93,071 in the valoe, The returns for 1858 mate the average valae of horses and mules $6332 while the returns for 1859 make such value $43, 57. The average valuation of cattle, by the returns of 1588, was $10.62, and by the return of 15889 is $18.52, cs I MA On Friday last there was a carious gath- ering of afflicted persons in Alleghany city, At least ten thousand afflicted people from ail parts of the country gathered at Father Mollioger's church to be healed and take part in the cele bration of 8t, Anthony's Day. It was a carious assemblage of the lame, deaf and blind, drawn together by the reports of Father Mollinger's mira culous cures, The unfortunates began to arrive yes. terday, and last night 5,000 were camped about the church, sleeping on floors, doorsteps, porches and the ground. The services began at daybreak and were continued all day and until late this eve ning, Thousands were unable to gain admission to the church and all day they stood in the hot sun awaiting their turns to be cured. Father Mollinger is a physician as well as a priest, and does not claim any mis raculous powers, but is a firm believer in faith coupled with works. He charges nothing for his prescriptions, but few left without giving to the church from twentysfive cents to five dollars.

Sergeant Dunn, who is at the head | of the government signal service in New | York, delivered an interesting lecture] the other night before the Academy of | Sciences on the subject, and made a plausible attempt to account for the| change in our climate that has | our winters mild and our summers rather homid and cool. In the first place, that the climate has changed since 1875 he Irrigation ressive rise in the temperature up to the | during July, Aongust and Beptember | The way he accounts for it is this: The great storms across the continent have, of late, with very few exceptions, gone] off intofthe Atlantic north of us. They! have taken a new road. The peculiarity of storms is that they prefer a moist road | to a dry one. Ever since 1574 the North- | west hes been undergoing changes byl artificial irrigation that have established | a new moist air belt. The result is that the storms which used to come as far) ork now travel along the! humid belt, and the cold air in their wake stops short at the new road, Mean- time the warm, humid air of the gulf is brought northward, In other words, | when the paths of the prevailing winter | storms lie south of us they diaw down a cold wave from the north; when they pass to the north they draw up a warm wave from the south, This sounds well and the fact that 4 300,000 acres in the Northwest have been irrigated since 1874 coincides with the theory of causation, From these facts Sergeant Dunn argues that the permanency of the change in climate will depend upon the action taken as to farther irrigation. If irriga~ tion is extended in the Northwest—as it certainly will be—the storms will con- tinue to pass to the north of us, and the cold waves will not reach us. If, on the other hand, the Bouttiwest undergoes ir rigation at once, then we shall have a return of the northerly instead of south. erly temperature, > In the Congressional conference shuffle over the bills relating to pensions the Dependent Peasion bill, with a few un. important modificons, has come out Although it may prove more costly, it is scarcely so objectionable in principle, as the Service Peusipn bill, It provides, ic effect, that any disabled or dependent ex-soldier shall enjoy a pens sion of from 86 to $12 a moathf propor tioned to his capacity to earn a support, These dependent persons would Lave to be supported by some sort of public charity; and whether the national, State or municipal Government shall perform the task is not material. How many names will be added by the bill to the pension list cannot be estimated with any degree of exactness; but the best in formed authorities believe that it will be not less than 300,000 names, and may be many more, The additional expense is also largely conjectural; but the pros bability is that the annual cost of pen- sions hereafter will not fall below $150, 000,000, One of the considerations tbat may tend to condone this benevolent and lavish scattering of the public money is thst it will tend to curtail the opportanis ties for public plunder of jobbers who are operating upon the public Treasury from other directions, south as New Y ou top, There is promise of a ne w repablic in Central America and the Isthmus, or rather a confederation of quarrelsome little States under one federal govern. ment, A provisional treaty having this end ion view has been submitted to rep- resentatives of Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Salvador, When the parts have sufficiently coher. ed the grand tota! will be known as “The Republic of Central America.” The great bulk of the population is crude and uneducated, The few who have Spanish blood in their veins are easily The baccalaureate sermon of the grad- nating class at the Massachusetts Age ricultural college was delivered by Prof. C. 8. Walker. The topic was: “The Daty of the Educated Farmer.” Dr. Walker said. “Heretofore in all parts of the world the farmer has been no match for his adversary, He has never held bis own against the soldier or the priest, the politician or the statesman. In ancient times he was the slave; in the middle ages the gerf., In the pineteenth century he is the slave, the serf, the peasant of the proprietor, according to location. American farmers, as a class, are face to face with a crisis, They have subdued a continent and farniched the raw ma tives and manhood for our civilization. “They have sustained the nation’s credit with their hard-earned, dollars rescued endangered liberty with their conscientions ballots, and defended, time and again the stars and stripes with their loyal blood. Vigorous in body strong in character, striking in individuality, lovers of home, massive in common sense, fertile in resources, devout believers in Provide ence, the farmers of America will never allow themselves to be overwhelmed by the fate that sunk the tillers of the soil in India, in Egypt or in Europe, ais The attitude of the Cheyenne Indians continues to be menacing though no overt act has occurred since the killing of Ferguson. Owing to the fact that the Indians have left their reservation and are scat- tered over the country in small parties, settlers are thoroughly alarmed, and are sending their women and children into town in large numbers, Indian lookouts are om all high points and are constantly signaling by mirror tinshes and the blanket code, Friendly Indians have reported to the whites that there is to be an outbreak and that the hostiles are now making medis cine, which is generally accepted to mean that they are being joined by allies from the Standing Rock, Sioux and Pine Ridge Cheyennes, to whom messengers bave been sent. The Northern Cheyennes of themselves only number about 250 bucks. At the agency on the Rosebud, Maj. Carroll, of the First Cavalry, has three troops of cavalry, about 140 men, De tachments of a troop of cavalry and three companies of infantry, 150 all told, left Fort Keogh yesterday to proceed up the Rosebud and co-operate with Carroll. Three companies more are at Fort Keogh that could be sent out, but there is no transportation, I A IAIN. Hestiogs was in Philadelphia the otber day and bad a conference with Mayor Fitler and other Republican lead- ers, The Timessays: It hasbeen learn. ed since the conference that General Hastings, in the event of his failure to secure the nomioation, will give his strength in favor of Senator Delemater. Both Hastings and Delamater are close friends of Quay, and the Centre county statesman has decided to turn in for Delamater rather than have an outsider secure the nomination. Well if Hastings is a “close friend of Quay, thea scores of Hastings men will cease to be “close friends” of Has. tings. The majority of Hastings’ follow. ers think that he represents the anti boss element, and if be does not then they don’t care if Delamater does win, because with Hastings it would appear to be Quay is in all the same. Lake Front Park, Chicago, is favored by the Fair Executive Committee for the world’s fair. Except the Lake Front Park, the committee criticised more or less all of the half dozen localities which have been discussed in Chicago for weeks as possible places for the fair ground, By the “Lake Front” is meant the open tract bounded on the west by the business center of the city, and on the east by the waters of Lake Michigan, The idea is to add to this tract a square masters of the many who are of Indian origin. The soil is rich and tae. possi bilities of agriculture alluring. The hope is to effect a union which will bring the people into touch with the outside world, give them self respect, increase their commercial interests, destroy inter- state feuds, introduce new opportunities and industries, ” MI HO i AS wef gpecial from McV eytown, Pa. says: The triangular contest that is be- ing waged in Mifflin County, part of the Eighteenth Congressional district, is growing warmer. The candidates are H. J. Culberson, John A, McKee, 0 Lewistown, and Samuel McWilliams, of McVeytown. Mr. Culbertson, was a can- didate two years ago, and came very near making the nomination. It was generally understood that he would have a clear field this time, but McKee has hoisted his colors to the breeze, which has brought the farmerand labor inter ests ont with Mr. McWillinms, who has been closely identified with these inter. eats all his life. mile of territory to be reclaimed from the lake. Chicago begins to realize the fact that there are many sharp thorns ia connec. tion with its World's Columbian Exposi- tion rose. Its people refuse to make up the second $5,000,000 subscription; the Governor hesitates to call an extra ses mon of the Legislature to help the Win- dy City out of its dilemma, because pubs lic sentiment seems to be against it; and there is a big row over the proposed lo cation of the Fair on the west side of the river, the malcontents being led by ex* Mayor Carter Harrison, Altogether the prospects for the great show look very gloomy. amass oh MI MSR Sts Henry M, Stanley has accepted the State.

Eleven different per. sons, agents of Missouri houses, arrested for selling liguor in original packages in the prohibition State of Kansas, were re leased on habeas corpus, The judge also held that the smallness of the packages —single bottle of beer or whisky—made no difference. It made no change in the law as laid down by the courts whether the packagee were barrels or a single bottle. That would seem fo be entirely within the discretion of the importer, This decision is in line with that of Judge Rayburn in Armstrong county last week in the Silverman case, who maintained the right to sell in original packages without a license, bat held that if the vender sold to minors or intemperate persons he was liable under the State law, Bilverman was convicied on the charge of seiling to persons of known intemperate babits, and that conviction stands. gl p— The President, it is said, is opposed to both the Lodge and the Rowell Federal election bills,and he has announced this opinion to no less a personage than Benator Quay. He realizes that the adop- tion of such radical measures would lead to a condition of affairs in the South that would make his administration exceed ingly unpleasant, to gay the least, and is for milder measures. The Reed program of force has been distasteful to him from the start, and the more it has developed the more has it widened political rela- tions between President and speaker. In these views Mr. Harrison is warm- ly seconded by Secretary Blaive, In fact it is said the premier is averse to any change in the present election laws, while the President thinks they should be altered and extended to cover the coum try as well as ths city districts. ra ———— hs —— Judge Wallace has dismissed the writ of habeas corpus in the case of William Kemmlier, who is under sentence to be executed by electricity in Auburn prison, The motion for the dismissal of the writ was made by Attorney General Tabor.
