Altoona Tribune, Rep.: It must be
confessed that the facts in counection
with that Cape May cottage do not re-
dound to the credit of Presideat Harri-
son. 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

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,

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,

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,

been taken into custody in Moscow on

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.

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,

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.

“Fifth, we will ase our influence to
suppress local, personal, sectional and
national prejudices, nopheaitbful rivalry
and selfish ambition.

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.”

tes on rules. The house had degenerat-

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
