The Pennsylvania State Graoge, Pa-
trons of Hasbaodry, will hold ita nine-
teenth annoal session in the hall of the
house of representatives, Harrisburg, on
Tnesday, December 8th. From present
indications this will be the largest and
most important meeting of the State
Grange ever held.
For Speaker of tne next bouse, Crisp,
of Georg'a, and Mills, of Texas. claim
each of them to be leading in the con.
test, which has narrowed down practi.
cally between these two. Several others
are in the race for the Speakership, but
are way behind and won't be in it at the

10922 of a majority. The total vote in
New York was 1,161 853, falling behind
the presidential vote 450 204, while that

In the great Holt trial at Pittsburg,
ashort time ago, in the U, 8B court,
D.F. Fortney waa the attorney for the
sixteen insuracce companies, The case
stiracted attention in and out of the
State, and Mr. Fortney, we are pleased
to note, gained quite a reputation for the
able manner in which he conducted ihe
prosecution, Mr. Fortney is one of the
foremost lawyers of our bar, and, besides,
always takes an active part in all that
pertains to the general good.

Olerk of the House.
For clerk of the next house, it wae
supposed e«-Chairman Kerr had a full
and free field as he is the choice of all
Democrats of Pennsylvania and is en-
titled to the office, but another candidate
for same position has loomed up and is
pushing forward to the attention of the
public his claims. The Pittsburg Post,
in reference to Chairman Kerr heartily
endorses him for the position and voices
the sentiments of all Democrats when it
says Colonel Maish, ex-cuongressman
from the York district of this State, has
an admitted right to announce himself
as a candidate for clerk of the house in
opposition to Mr, Kerr; and under other
circumstances, in common with most
Penuveylvasia Democrats, we would be
glad to see him win, He is a first-class
man and the best of Democrats; but his
enterivg the clerkship canvass at this
time will do the colonel no good, and if
it bas any effect it will be to prejudice
Mr. Kerr's prospects by creating the im-
pression among outside congressmen
there is a division of sentiment among
Democrats of this State in regard to the
propriety of Mr, Kerr's election. There
ie no such division. Mr, Kerr, 80 far as
onr observation goes, is the unanimous
choice of the active Democrats of the
State, and we believe of our Democratic
eongresssmenselect. He did good service
in the canvass of 1890, sacrificing his
own renomination and re-election to
congress to his ardacus duties as state
chairman. He worked ss bard in the
campaign that has just closed, even if it
was not crowned with the same success,
We believe in gratitude and appreciation
of .faithfal service in politics, and no
party deserves to win that has not these
qualities. Mr. Kerr is thoroughly cap-
able for the clerkship, and has fairly won
the honor 80 far as Pennsylvania goes.
Colonel Maish should join the procession
and put in the effective work he is mast-
er of for the choice of the Democracy of
the State. His own election is simply
impossible. If the clership doesen’t go
to Kerr of Pennsylvania it will go to
some other Slate,

Reccvering Stolen Rights,
The Democrats of New York are justi-
fied in taking advantage of every legal
technicality that favors them, within
the law aod constitution, to possess
themselves of the legislature, It is nota
question of Governor Hill stealing the
legislatare, as the Pittsburgh Gazelle
avers, but of the rightful claimants
obtaining possession of their stolea pro-
perty, For nearly ten years the Republi-
cans of New York, baviog & majority in
the legislature, have refused to obey the
constitutional mandate that they stall
reapportion the legislative districts in ac
cordance with the popalation. In this
way they have wanaged to steal the legis
lature, holding on to important patrons
age and defrauding the Democrats of the
State and the Union of Democratic Unit-
ed States senators. Again, the Demo~
crats bave an equitable right to control
the law-making power, for the reason
shat at every State election since that of
1883 they have carried New York by
decided majorities. Goverror Flower
hss just been elected by nearly 50.000
majority; inst year the majority was over
70,000, and in 1888 20 000, for the Demo~
cratic State ticket,
The Republicans have been holding
the legislature by retaining, in flagrant
violation of the copstitution, a rotten~
borough apportionment which practi
cially disfranchised the Democrats of the
State. This was their method of stealing
power, If the Democrats have secured
the legislature in both branches as the
result of the late election, and have done
it within the law they have merely re-
covered possession of their stolen rights.

Philadelphia Press: Senator Wallace's
declaration of his desire to again become
a member of the lower house of the
Legislature has aroused a preity general
discussion in tbe newspapers of the
State, They nearly all unite in deciar

would be a most important improvement
if men of Mr. Wallace's ability and
knowledge of affairs in each party could
be induced to accept service in the Legis:
lsture, With a general and persistent
discusssion of this matter, intelligently
urging it upon all proper occasions, it is
not improbable that the standard of
membership may be raised in a most
gratifying degree. No one disputes that
there is great need of it.

The Chinese Dynasty in Peril.
The Tartar dynasty which rules over
China, and is at present represented by
# weak, well meaningand amiable young
man, is in greater danger thao that which
menaced it in the famous Taeping rebel -
lion. The empire in assailed from two
sides. There is a native Chinese insur:
rection, and on the other hand, a Mons
golian outbreak. A rebelion of the nav
tive Chinese might easily be dealt with
even if it were much more formidable
than it is now But the Tartar rebels are
of different stuff. They claim descent
from the men who ravaged Asia nnder
Genghis Khan, snd there is no evidence
that they have degenerated from their
courageous and ferocious ancestors.
They are of the same race as the best
troops in the Chinese regular army, and
it is significant that many of the latter
are said to be going over to the rebe
side. Pekin is in grave danger, and it is
now doubtful whether even ioreign ins
terference can avail to preserve the city
from capture. Additional news will be
awaited with the interest that such a
crisis in the government of the most
ancient of earthly empires cannot fail to

GREAT BANK ROBBERY.
Story of the Manner in Which the Lawis-

One day last May two sleek gentleman
smote the vaults of the Lewisburg Na

the teller goes to his dinner, returning in

returned to his desk, and the cashier and
all the rest about the place had cleared
out for their noonday meal. He bad
hardly been seated when 8 conveyance
stopped at the curb in froot of the Bec
ond street widow, and the single occupy
ant beckoned for the teller to come out,
Strange as it may seem, although there
are at least a half dozen salaried officers
connected with the bank, when the tel-
ler went to the curb not a person was
leit to guard the piles of money on the
table and in the vault, While the gentle-
man in the buggy was arraoging with
the teller to open several accounts with
the bank, ao sccomplice had slipped
around the corner and gone into the
On his way out he met the
teller and asked him where another nas
tional bank could be found. The teller
told him, and without any suspicion as
to what was up went to work on his
books. When the cashier returned at 1
o'clock he noticed that there was no mon
ey on the table, and vpon further ex-
amination found that they were 13500

GIVEN A HEARING
Beveral days ago the prisoner was
given a hearing before Justice Brown.
The bank teller was present and identi-
fied him. In defence Killoran said that
be bad never been in Lewisburg before
and was entirely innocent. He blames
all of his trouble on the detectives, who
he says were obliged to hand over some

plea for his “client,” but the justice
fixed the bail at $20,000, in defanit of
which the prisoner will be obliged to res
