Of course that is a pretty heavy cravat, but still it won't weigh him down like Me~ Camant’s weighs him. Our good looking friend, B. Kurtz Foeht, of the Lewisburg News, is in the fight against the re-election of Judge Bucher with the earnest of an alligator that bas its eye on a darkey kid. Focht is in the fight with bis coat, vest, shirt and undershirt off, to prevent the entire vote of the district yoing for Bucher. From private sources we are inform- ed that affairs at Philipsburg are not so rosy as the printed statement of the closed bank goes to show, and the peo ple there are apprehensive of a small onicome. Judgments have already been entered against a number of wealthy business men of Philipsburg who did business with the bank, and whose in~ debtedness to it are included in the item of assets, Day by day the duty of the people of the state of Penvsyivania beccmes clear. er, The iniquities of existing financial methods, remarks the Pairiol, must be stopped. The use of the public moneys for private enrichment and speculation most be ended. The laws must be re~ rpected. Can all this work be accomplished by the removal of the inefficient incumbents and the appointment by the governor of two honest clean, fearless men who could serve no longer than May next? The question is ite own answer, No. Where can further and even more cer- tain snd more effective because more continuous relief be obtained? At the polls, The temporary relief is in the hands of the senate and then rests with the governor. An interval of six months of good government would only be a flickering light in the dense fog. We mast have perpetual sunlight, Give us three years of Wright and Til den. ————————— The Evangelical Conference, now in session at Indianapolis, has acquitted Bishops Bowman and Esher of the charges preferred, and also expelled Bishop Dubs. The committees in charge of the matter declared that the trial pro. ceedings were instituted and completed in strict accordance with the church laws; that all the charges against him were fally sustained; that after his trial and suspension he published a pamphle’ which con'sine! misrepresentations and defamatious of the trial conference and its transactions; that he then traveled over the country, and under the pretext of delivering lectures preached from Scripture texts, and in his paper, and other ways, sl sndered the conference of bishops sad the officers of the church. The report closed with a resolution de- claring that “not only his suspension be ratified, but he is hereby deposed from his office as dishop and preacher in the Evangelical Association and expelled from the church,” Conearreace in the report of the com- mittee was then put to a vote, and the bishop was unanimously deposed and expelled from the church, A Revolution at Hand, Commenting upon the curruption now existing among Republican officials and leaders of that party, the Philadelphia Times rightfully declares that “it is al- ways good politics to halt party profli. gacy and abuse of power and to give the people abeolutely honest government; and that is the present admirable politics of the young Democratic leaders of the Btate, The old time Democratic prosti- totes of power have long since perished, and they perished nnder the bold, able and clean leadership of Republicanism in its better days, just a8 Republicanism must perish now unless it can cleanse itself of the pollution that pervades its entire system. It is the politics that the people like; it is the politics that wakes public officials upright and faithfal, and it is the politics that no buman power can defeat in Pennsylvania this year. Becretary Harrity will doubtless soon be called to serve on the Nationa! Com. mi'tee in place of Mr. Scott, deceased, and thus meet Senator Quay in the broader field of the nation. There would be entire fitness in his selection, as is pow clearly foreshadowed, apd if chosen by the Democratic State Committee, he would enter the National Committee equipped with well trained ability and with what is vastly more important —the prestige of success. In short, Senator Quay is greatly over matched in the pres ent Democratic leadership in the State, because equaled in ability and courage and surpassed in every element of power in a popular contest; and be may be pre- pared to see this opposing leadership carry its prestige into the national politi- cal arena just when the decline of his power there is lo become a matter of history. Tues Governor's Message. Oa Tuesday the governor sent his m-ssage to the Senate exira session. The Governor gives in sharp, clear, concise language, the history of John Bardsiey's transactions while acting as fiscal agent and officer of the Common- wealth. Toe Governor recites the story of the numerous investigations, not less than seven or eight which bave undertaken to prove the losses of the State by Bard. sley. They all conincide in the results in a substantial manner that the loss amonots to over a million and a quarter of dollars, and point to the fact as the Governor states, that Bardsley made “apart from the salary, fees and commissions of his office, to which he was entitled by law,” nearly $300,000, This portion of the message will readis ly be admitted in its major part as fact, and the only deplorable thing aboat it is, that the money seems to be gone beyond recovery. The next portion of the message is a recital hy the Chief Magistrate of the connection of the Aunditor General and State Treasurer with these transactions, as viewed by the Governor, and sub- stantiating his line of action in calling the Benate to his assistance, The Governor refers to the memorands stabs and lettess of Bardsley, and his correspondents in the State Capital, en. deavoriog to extract from them a logical, condensed and authoritative history of the alleged unlawful acts. The man who gets the degresof D. D from the new Caitholic university at Washington will have to earn it, It will be no honorary title, indiscriminately given but a dignity which has been gains ed by hard work. The candidate must spend two years in study after obtaining the degree of licentiate in divinity, He must write a book, of at least one hund: red pages, on some subject of sacred science approved by the faculty. His hook haviog been approved, he must publish, in addition to it, seventy-five theses for his oral examination, Of these 25 shall be selected from the group of studies constituting his specialty, twen. ty-five from the particular matter in that specialty to which he has mostly devoted his attention and twenty-five from other branches of science. Finally, he must successfully defend both his book and bis theses against all comers for three hoars a day on two consecutive days. The reader v ill see that a degree from that university, if the rales are honestly enforced, will be an honor to the wears er. It would be an advantage to the cause of learning if similar regulations were put in force in every college and university in the land. Bat such legisia- ation belongs to the golden age, We might add here that in some cases where the “D, D.” is conferred it woald be fitting if it stood for Dogged Dumb, nn IMP sri lf in need of aaything in the boot or shoe line don’t forget that Mingle, Bellefonte, has the finest line in the state from which to select.

They can fit you out in any- thing you want, at a big bargain, You'll mies it greatly if you don’t call to see his stock , How to Print the Election Tickets, A circular letter bas been sent to the County Commissioners and Sheriffs of the Commonwealth informing them as to the proposed coostitutional conven: tion. It says the expense of tickets must be met by the political party organiza. tions of voters themselves, There should be no inscription on the outside of the tickets “for” or “against” the convention but the tickets to be voted for members. atslarge should have on the outside the words, “Delegates-at- Large,” and should be printed separately. The tickets to be voted for district members should have on the outside the words “District Dele gates,” and should be printed separately. It will thus be seen that there should be three separate tickets for the use of voters who desire to vote for or against a constitutional convention and for the election of delegates thereto. Another Proclamation, Governor Pattison Monday issued a proclamation calling upon the senats, which meets in extra session Tuesday, for the purpose of inquiring whether reasonable canse exists for the removal of Aaditor General McCamant and State Treasurer Boyer, to also er nsider wheth- or there is cause for the removal of the magistrates and covslables of Philadel phis. These officials are alleged to have been participants in conspiracy with exe City Treasurer Bardsley to defrand the state in connection with the collection of mercantile taxes, i—a—— Attacked by Wolves. A few evenings ago while Jacob Barts ges, of Green Barr, Clinton county, was returning home from Logan Mills, he was attacked by five wolves. The Sa- gar Valley Journal states that he club bed one of the animals nearly to death, and then scared the other four away, which gave Jacob an opportunity to make his escape from that dangerous lo~ cality. Hereafter he says he will stay at bome at night. A Tough Cow, The Millheim Journal says: One of John Stoner's cows in jumping over a fence caught at one of the sharp palings which penetrated her body to the depth of twenty two inehes and broke off. Mr Stoner says it was a hercalean job to ex tricate the paling, requiring the nesis- tance of several strong men. However, it was accomplished and the injured ani- mal was carefully attended and will get well, i — A Standing Reward. The Lycoming county commissioners now offer a standing reward of $100 for the return of the property and the arrest and conviction of any horse thief who operates in that county, This is a good move, and will be a stimalus to pat pur. suers on track of these desperadoes as soon as the commitment of such acts are known, Steel Vaults, The commissioners are thinking of baving the various offices and vaults in the court house fittled up with steel cases and shelves manufactured especial- ly for that purpose by the Office Special ty Mig. Co., of Rochester, N, Y. The same system has been adopted in Clear field and Clinton counties. Disgusting Habit. Do not swear. There is no occasion to swear outside of a printing office. It is useful in proof reading, and indispens sable in getting forms to press, and has been known to assist in looking over the paper when it is printed, but otherwise it is a very disgusting babit. Death Near Coburn’ Mrs, Busan Rider, wife of Isaiah Rider, departed this life at her home, near Co. burn, on Saturday, Oct. 3rd, aged 08 years, 4 months and 2 days, Her re mains were interred in the Lutheran graveyard at Aaronsburg, last Tuesday, Revs. G.

Branch hes received a full and After Cresswell Captain T. E. Clark left Clearfield for Toledo with requisition papers for the return of Harry Oresswell, formerly tell- er in the Houtzdale bank, Cresswell is now in jail in that city, having been ar rested while traveling under the name of Dixon. He is wanted for complicity in the defalcation for which W. B. Hamilton is now serving five years in the Western penitentiary, It is thought this arrest is a shrewd move on the part of the Unites States district attorney, Walter Lyon, to procure evidence against Banker Dill, now out on bail awaiting a hearing. He will be brought to Clearfield, when other developments are expected, An Awful Death. On the Ligonier Valley railroad, near Latrobe, this state, thirteen-year-old Willie Paul, of that place was fastened down to the track and had to await his fate Friday, While out hickory nutting he caught one of his shoes between the rails sta switch. A passenger train hove in right, and be had no time to re~ move the shoe and escape. Bo he lay down across the rail with his body out and wailed the moment that reached from time to eternity for him. His body was cut to pieces by the swift-flying train, whose wheels tossed him inward. He died instantly, Decsncy Demands It In the middle of the diamond there is as small lake formed by rains of last week. The diamond drains to this point and the consequenes is a mud hole the entire year round, only drying up in the dryest season. The place needs to be drained and gutters built to carry the water off. It is an ugly sight snd come mon decency demands that this place be repaired and sufficiently drained. Quarterly Meeting. on Saturday evening.

A Centre Shot, An exchange says: “What is more contemptible than a gadding, gossiping woman, who gallops sll over her neighs borhood retailing dirty inventions in the hopes of injuring some persons who re- fuse to descend "to her level? The laws proiect decent people from attacks of this kind, and it is evident that an ex« ample of their working is needed for the public good.” m———— i ———— Death of an Aged Lady. Mrs, Royer, widow of Samuel Royer, died on Tuesday morning, at the home of her daughter, Mrs, Harry Shirk, near Potters Miils, with whom she has made ber home for several years past.

All ate invited to and examine goods, style, work and Building Association There is a coincidence in the siate« ments pow being made in many of sar rural exchanges, says the Harrisburg Star Independent, that to the building as sociations of their several localities ia doe the many houses erected this year and which are now occupied, or will be in possession of their owners before the close of the year. Two out of every three ol these houses are the direct result of money hosrded in building associa- tions by men who , had they not had the opportunity to deposit their savings in soch associations, would not have been able to accumulate enough money 10 ac- quire a home, It is a noliceable fact that since the organization of building associations, American cities of the sec- ond and third classes and American bor oughs have grown in buildings much more rapidly than they did before, four- fifths of which are of the character of houses for workingmen who erect and own them. It needs no record to prove this, the improvements being the evis dence of the claim that they are the re- sult of building association hoardings by men who bad the sagacity as well as the thrift to lay aside the penny for the wet day.
