It was a mistake to accept the cot- tage in the first instance, but it was a worse mistake to pay for it finally and then attempt to blind the public as to the facts. Col. J. L. Spaogler annouaces himself for congress. Jack, as we all call him, would grace a congressional seat, and do houwor to the district with bis ability and knowledge of public affairs. Col. Span- gler bas been in the Democratic fight al- ways when it was hottest, and did val- ient service. Our county wiil recogaize his services, no doubt, by making him tue choice for congress. Speaker Reed, even the Republicans admit, has fallen far short of secomplish- iog the task which be set for himself at the beginning of the session. At that time he said he did no: see why the house ( hould not take a vole on every bill before it and adjourn by the 4th of July.

In Kansas Texas fever is spreading with alarming repidity among the cattle in Butler and Elk Counties. Some weeks ago about fifty thousand cattle were tak- en to those two counties and represent- ed to be from Arizona, An investigation his showa that they were brought from the Panbandle and Greer County, Texas, and this fact has greatly enraged the owners of native cattle, Two men were killed two days ago in a dispute over the matter and more bloodshed is almost certain. Bo far about one thousand head of caitle have died. The Matthew Stanley Qaay club, of Philadelphia, composed entirely of col. ored men, Gilbert Ball, a promivent lo- cal politician, being its president, held a largely stiended mestiog and passed unanimously resolutions to that effect that the federal election bill which was recently passed by the house of repre. sentatives and is now awaiting action by the senate is not practical and will not help the political condition of the col- ored man in the South, but will rather bave a tendency to keep alive the race prejudices. The club therefore express. esthe hope that the bill will pot become a law. i The Karthaus Bridge The following extracts are taken from the Public Spirit, of Clearfield: County Commissioners Mock and Thompson went to Karthaus last week and held a joint session there with the Centre county Commissioners relative to the Karthaus bridge, which is defec- tive in several ways and pot according to the contract, The middle pier is sev" eral inches too low and the masonry is 80 bad that lurge openings can be seen already between the layers of stone. The whole pier from the third course from the bottom will bave to come down, Instead of being solid masonry it is but ashelle with mud and sand. The Com- missioners condemned it. It isa shame that this job was done in 80 bungliog a manner, but no blame can be attached to our Coun'y Commis sioners, as Centre county had charge of the work and had everything in their hands. We hope that the trouble may be set. tiled amicably, but if it cannot be done that way Commissioners will appeal to the law, as they will never pay for the kind of work that was passed by the Centre county board.” It will be in place for our Commis~ sioners to stand up and explain. This is the bridge job we refered to The bridge was an expensive one for our county, and our commissioners made a botch of it and the tax payers foot a big bill and may become heir to an expensive law suit to boot, A Asn Big granger Thomas has put it out that the grangers, at least the Republi- can membership, can be kept in line for Delamater. It would appear that two head grangers imagine that that highly respectable order istheir football, to be kicked hither and thither at will—the one to Delamater, the other to Pattison, We have a better opinion of the grange. None of these chaps carries it in his vest pocket to be traded off—-not even the one who speaks of them as “my peo- ple.” Grangers are looking with deep distrust’ snd some with disgust, upon their head leaders, who are trying to ape the ways of the petty demagogue. According to granger Thomas, the membership of the order ia ths state is 35,000 —male and female; the agricul tury al population of the state is 400.000 which shows that the vast majority of that important element in the state has remained out, perhaps becagse of the kind of chaps at the head of it, Neither brother Thomes nor soy other head granger can control the votes of a bas kets dozen members ia the state, to the credit of the grangers be it said, and use it for their own selfish trade, A Mima The trpobles of the republican party in Philadelphia continue to thicken. The old leader of the party in tat city, Mr, MecMaues, is greatly dissatisfied with the treatment he has received ia the distriba- tion of the federal patronage. His Majes- ric Mightiness, Mayor Fitler, is not only playing his hand for the Ugiled States senatorship, but waats to name his own successor, Senator (Quay's attempt to dictate the nominations for the city of- fives, is causing a serious disturbance in the ranks of the grand old party. Phila delphia is the citadel of republicanism in Pennsylvania and with that threaten ed by defections from within and a de termined assault from without it looks as if the insurrection against Delamater in the country will prove too much even for the fine work of which the senatorial boss is capable, The Biecle and Figaro print reports that a fresh Nihilist plot against the czar bas been discovered in St, Peters. burg. According to these reports Pro- fessor Corlowski, of the University of St. Petersburg, and a number of the sta« dents at that institution, who, it is als leged, were concerned in the plot, bave been arrested, and many persons have been taken into custody in Moscow on the same charge. Two officers of high rank in the Russian army have commits ted suicide. It is supposed that they were found to have been implicated in the conspiracy against the czar, and took their lives rather than un lergo arrest and the punishment which was sure to follow. ln A The House conferees having consens ted to tke Senate form of the original package measure, the bill is likely to be. come a law in that shape. Under it, lis quors imported into any State or Terri tory will be subject to the laws of that State or Territory enacted in the exer. cise of its police powers to the same ex tent as though such liquide had been prodaced in such State or Territory, and Sa bot be exempt by reason of being n in original packages. This leaves the importation of oleorsargarine ted or distilled liquors to the tender HALL. PA. Some Pointed Suggestions Delamater. George Wallace Delamater is hard at work to keep enough of the 80,000 Re publican majority of Pennsylyania to- gether to elect himself Governor; but he isn’t working in the right quarter. If he can’t throttle Tom Reed and halt the McKinley tariff bill, with its dppal- ling increase of taxes on the necessaries of industry and of life, and the Force election bill, with its assured disturbance of business North and South, he may as well retire from the fight and take to the woods at once, He needn't waste time among the busi. ness men of Philadelphia while revolos tionary surges from Washington knock two business men out of line for every one line. If he would stop the revolt he must stop the fountain of revolt, and that fountain of revolt is Tom Reed and his revolutionary followers. There can be no harmony or unity of Republican action in Pennsylvania while increased taxes on labor are given in~ stead of promised reduction oi taxes, and while a crusade of wanton sectional strife at a cost of millions of dollars for each election is proclaimed as the policy of the party. If Delamater can’t halt this midsummer madness he must receive the retributive blow in November.—Phila. Times. to sm—————— AGI MP A It was ascertained in New York that the 1,000,600 Hebrews now about to leave Russia on account of the enforcement of the Edict of 1882 will not come to Amers ica, as has been expected, but that they will nearly all be sent to Palestine, In consequence of this determination George Randorf, the agent of the Bsron de Hirsch Trust Fund mailed 100 letters to various societies in Russia warning the members thereof not to come to this country under any consideration unless they bad money or friends here who would take care of them. By this new exodus will the life.long dream of Lord Oliphant, to gather all Hebrews to their Fatherland, begin to be realized, According to the edict, Hebrews must henceforth reside in certain towns only, None will be permitted to own Jand or hire it for agricultural purposes. The order includes within its scope towns and hundreds of villages that bave large Hebrew populations. They will rot be allowed to hold shares in or work mines, The law limiting their residence to six- teen provinces will be snforced. Nope will be allowed to enter the army, pracs tice medicine or law, to be an engineer or to enter any of the other professions, They will also be debarred from holding posts under the Government. The ens forcement of the edicts will probably result in the expulsion of over 1,000,000 Hebrews from the country, Until now the general supposition has been that the great majority of the 1,000 - 000 would emigrate to this country, but it is learned that for years plans have been under way to prepare for the move into Palestine. Ten months ago a meeting was held within the Czar's dominions by delegates representing Hebrews in thirty-six Raossian cities; They con- sidered for =» long time what course should be pursued in case the edicts of 1882 were carried out, and a unanimous vote resulted in the choice of Palestine as their future home, sist—— SP A —— The assertion we ofttimes hear that Obristianity is losing its hold on the American people that our churches are declining is overwhelmingly refuted by the statistics which the New York Independent bas gathered. Its figures for the current year show that there are in this country 151,261 churches of all des nominations, 103,300 minister sand nearly 22,000,00 members, Daring the year there hasbeen an increase of 8 500 churches nearly 4900 ministers and nearly 1,00,000 members, The accession of new mem- bers was even larger than these figures, since in every denomination thera were deaths of members whose places were filled by new acquisitions, The number of deaths in the Methodist Episcopal body, example, was reported at 28,3000: Barely for no one can justly claim that the opportunities in the United States to hear christian doctrine expounded are not what they should be. A MIN Mi os hh While the maes of the farmers and grangers of the state have been educated by the Democratic press and orators to soo that high tariffs are only to fleece the farmer for the benefit of the monop- olist, it is gratifying that this belief is gaining ground among them in spite of the dull and heavy notions of elder Pio- lett, chief picnic manager Thomas and bro. Rhone, the leaders of the grange but who seem not to be able to mislead farmers into high tariff robbery ideas. This lovely trio are a self constituted standing committee to protest against the principles of the Mills bill and favor something like the M’'Kinley tariff scheme, and made fools of themselves the committes to Biaine’s Friends Aroused. The gentlemen in congress who have imposed upon themselves the task of reading Mr. Blaine out of the party are industriously at work inspiring attacks upon him. For the part their work ig being done secretly, but under the in- fluences of their anger nome of them are quite outspoken, relyiog only on the generosity of correspondents not to use their names, though they are anxious for their lauguage to appear in print. Mr, Harrison is tryiog to conceal his band in the matter for the present and his friends are insisting that he and Mr, Blaine are getting along quite nicely, Mr, Blaive and bis friends fully under-| stand the situation, however, It Mr.| Harrison is going to assist Messers, R | eed | and McKinley in this fight he will do so at the sacrifice of whatever hopes he now has of are~nomination. The Blaine men in the house and senate are pre pared to make a coonter fight on Reed | and his followers in both houses. The! situation is very interesting to the dem ocrats. -———- A letter from Iowa says: “We are literally burned up here. Our pastures gre all dead, as dead as can be, Farm- ers only keep their cattle alive on cheap! oats and hay. So aslarming is the drought here that strong guards are out night and day. The railroad company put on an extra force and every few miles there are men stationed with shovels hand-cars and barrels of water toaliowd each pass- ing train to fight fires. As I was com- ing home from Knoxvilie last night 1 saw a stubble fleld that had cavght fire from a locomtive spark, Before the flames were quenched a wide acreage: fences, sticks of bay, wheat, oats and rye were consumed. The drought is simply alarming here, There is no sign of rain and there is no dew at night. Our corn crop, potatoes and all growing! vegelation is lost and everybody in this section is discouraged.” .— Col Demmiog, head of the Farmer's Alliance in this state, an organization which is growing with wonderful rapid- ity everywhere, gives the following ay the objects of the Alliance: “First, we are to labor for the education of agricul- turists io the science of economic gov~ ernment io a non- partisan spirit. “Second, we live up to the motto: —'In| things essential, unity; in all thiogs charity. “Third, we are to eudeavor to develop a better condition mentally, morally, so cially and fGnancially. “Fourth, we will aim to have a belter understanding in sustaining the civil of- ficers in waintaining law and promoting order. “Fifth, we will ase our influence to suppress local, personal, sectional and national prejudices, nopheaitbful rivalry and selfish ambition. “Finally, we are to visit the homes of the afflicted, assoage grief, bury the dead, care for the widow and educate the ore phan, and protect the principles of the alliance with life if need be, — Blinn cnn Senator Piamb, Republican, of Kan« sas, made a speech the other day against the M'Kinley tariff bill in the senate, His speech was an armaigament of the bill and its purpose that made its cham pions writhe in theirseats, Asa citizen, and not as a partisan, he spoke for the American people. After stating in inci. sive language that the bill throughout was one for the corporations and mos nupolies and per contra against the workingmen, he said that “the senate owed some duty to the American people, as well as to the manufacturers. There was a point where political sympathies ended and business interests began.” SR 1 MAI MAA OARS Speaking of the force bill, T. V. Pow- derly, in a letter to tbe Kuights of Labor, says: “In the North the employers of ‘abor intimidate workmen in the iniers est of the Republican party, but that party cannot lay claim to so respectable an excuse as to desire to 8void “ignorant rale,” for the workingmen of the North bave never imposed ignorant rale where they elected their own representatives, There is more intimidation contained in four lines of the law than in all the Southern outrages which have taken place since the war.” Mr. Powderly ure ges Knights to influence their represen. tatives to oppose the bill, A I MA SR.

In the house on Monday: Mr Funston of Kausas suggested that the speaker might be a good bulldozer in the Bonth Mr, Rogers thought he might not be a good bulldoze long in Arkansas, Mr, Allen of Michigan, (sotto voce) — They kill such fellows down there. Mr. Rogers, continuing denounced what he termed the tyranny of the speaker and the majority of the commit- tes on rules. The house had degenerat- ed into a state of anarchy and chaos, It was suspected that the speaker turned tiis back on faul:, fair, frank discussion on opportunity for amendment, on par- liamentary decorum, on official urbanity on historic and patrotic memories, in order that he might unlawfully perpet- uate his party in power and draw to his suppert for the presidency the unscrus pulous mass of ignorant and vulgar pars tieans, who practiced the infamous and means. He bad degraded the majority with the full assurance on the part of of a liberty-loving people, they wonid perish, like Samson, under the ruins, but if it smcceeded, that he alone should reap all glory. Their want of patriotic cours age was exceeded only by their suicidal stupidity. And among them all bad not been found a man with the courage of Jackson, the patriotism of a Henry Clay and the love of liberty that inspir- ed the fathers, who could eay: “This is our country, these are our liberties, these are our countrymen and you are our ser- vant; and we will not be the one trodden under foot nor the one outraged and wronged.” men I ————— Wanted.
