Paper in the Juniata Valley.
THE Legislature expects to adjourn
about the 25th of May.
THE Editorial Association goes to Cres
son on the 17th of June to spend a week.
This is too near borne to come to anything.
THE effort to revive the Beecher scan•
dal has fallen extremely flat. People are
extremely sick of this sort of stuff. The
public are nauseated.
IT GIVES us pleasure to state that the
impression prevails, in well informed cir
cles, that the Woed tariff bill, is in a meas
ure, dead as a hammer. So mote it be.
IN a few weeks politics will begin to
look up. The State Conventions will soon
be held and then things will begin to move.
In this county politics are pretty badly
mixed.
Tax Philadelphia Times must certainly
feel very kindly to the Republican party
since it advocates the appointment of Mr.
Quay for Recorder. It is by the ap
pointment of this gentleman and others, in
Philadelphia, that the Republicans expect
to perpetuate their party in this State.
The Times is very kind, indeed.
COUNT CAVOUR predicted, shortly be
fore his death, a new religion, not a new
hypocrisy, but a veritable religion. Well,
there is plenty of room for it. If it will
only produce more real virtues, and banish
the brutality that we find on every hand—
we do not mean brutal violence but brutal
traits—the sooner it is ushered in the bet-
ter. We want a religion of charity and
kindness instead of austerity and hypocri.

READER, did you ever have the hanker
after-office disease ? It's symptoms are very
peculiar. It appears to pump all the sto
lidity and dignity out of man and puts him
on the best of terms with every one and
himself in particular. We have frequent
ly observed a Huntingdon county man
'•having it bad." His good nature bubbles
over, be shakes, and he bows, and he scrapes ,
and "smoles" the most ghastly smiles, un•
til you think he is a fit subject. for Kirk
bride's. It is the only time when the
Huntingdon man, as a rule, comes entirely
out of his shell, but only to this extent—
nothing mere. We have seen old men,
middle aged men and mere boys in the
toils and the ludicrous figures they cut
would make a mule laugh
TEE Philadelphia Recorder Bill was
passed by both Houses and approved by the
Governor, and Hon. M. S. Qaay appointed
to fill the place, for the next ten years, at a
salary, it is said, running from $30,000 to
$50,000 per annum. Thus the men who
have controlled the Republican Party
of this State, for the last ten or fifteen
years,—controlled it -without any res
pect to the rights of others, who have
worked as efficiently and successfully,
but who have exhibited their honesty and
faith in the principles of the party by their
works and not by seeking their own ag
grandizement,—are being pensioned, at
enormous salaries, in localities where it is
thought that, by the judicious manipula
tions of the masses, they will be able to
perpetuate their rule in the State. With
Mr. Quay and other strong organizers,that
we can name, securely fixed in Philadel
phia, it is supposed that the State can be
held for years to come. The interior of
the State will have something to say 'to
this. If the organization is simply to be
kept up to fatten the few, who ignore all
other Republicans who do not belong to
their select circle, the obituary of the par
ty might as well be written now, better
now than to wait until pensions for life
are voted to each and every one of them.
IN a conversation held between Gen.
Campbell of the Blair district and the
President, on Tuesday last, the following
sentiments were uttered by the latter in
reply to the General's suggestion that those
who fill the offices should provide the am
munition to run the campaign : "Precise
ly," said the President, "we agree there.
The only difference hitherto has been one
of methods. The executive order alluded
to was designed to let faithful officers un
derstand that their first allegiance was to
the Government and its interests and not
to parties and persons. I believe this is
now very generally understood, but so far
as contributing a reasonable share out of,
their incomes to meet expenses of the
campaign, there can be no reasonable ob
jection to that, but it cannot be demanded
under threat of removal, as hitherto. An
officer can give or not, as he pleases, with
out affecting his tenure of office for or
against him. I expect to contribute my
proportion to the campaign expenses, and
there will be no objection to others in of
fice doing likewise ; in fact I should be
pleased if they were to do so." The Pres
ident then alluded to his own campaign
experience, when be was Chairman of the
County and State Committees, and how
funds were raised for purposes of State
campaigns, remarking that he could appre
elate as well as any one the necessity of
funds for the imperative needs of a politi
cal campaign.
The President added, "And as to the
participation of officials in the campaign,
there can be and will be no objection to
this, unless they are being used to further
the interests of certain individuals who, by
party machinery and their bold on its mu
nipulations, overrule the wishes of the peo
ple and subject Republicans to the alterna
tive of voting for obnoxious candidates or
submitting to party defeat. The order ap
plying to officers of the Government in this
sense will be rigorously enforced, but after
the candidates are fairly in the field, with
out the aid of conventions packed with of
fi..le holders acting at the beck of a domi
nant clique of .politicians, there will be no
objection-to officers doing their share, so
long as it does not interfere with their of
cial duties, in the field work of the cam
paign, the same as any other citizen."
GAIL HAMILTON'S open letter, in last
Saturday's Tribune,. addressed to the Rev.
Hincks, of Portland, Maine, is one of the
most scathing replies to ministerial ignor-
ance and presumption ever written in this
country. Gail's pen is like a Scorpion's
sting.

Harrisburg Correspondence.
The present legislature has grown so un
wieldy that it is becoming tired of itself. I
scarcely know what of its doings to write
about that will be of interest to your readers.
The large number of appropriations to chari
table and other institutions throughout the
State is becoming the subject of much com
ment. The demands of these institutions upon
the State Treasury are increasing yearly, and
it is a question whether many of these institu
tions are doing any good to others than their
well paid officers. The House during the past
week passed bills appropriating an enormous
amount of money to the various institutions
asking aid of the State. A much larger sum
by far than the already depleted condition of
the Treasury can in any wise warrant.
In the work of the week Sherwood's salary
bill number two has had rather a prominent
place. This bill is one of the hobbies of which
Mr. Slinrwood has not a few. He desires to
cut down the number, and the salaries of all
the beads of departments, and employes on the
Hill. He went at it like a bull in a china
shop, but failing to keep up the analogy, he
has been busied for some time past in patch
ing up some of the dissatisfaction which the
bill has caused. Some of the clerks on the
hill showed not a little uneasiness at the per
sistent efforts of this reformer.
The Free Pipe Line bill in the House has
passed that body on second reading by a vote
of 136 to 16. This is a fictitious strength,
which the bill will not likely have when it
comes to a final passage in the House. The
Senate is patiently waiting to throttle the bill
should it again be called upon to consider it
during this session.
J. Murray Moorhead, the unfortunate con
tractor on the Mattamores railroad, if his story
may be believed, is, still persistently hammer
ing at the doors of the Treasury for admission,
and his bill asking for an adjudication of his
claim, has been the subject of not a little ex
citement in the House. During its discussion
members grew rather personal in their re
marks, and the whole tenor of the discussion
was not very complimentary to Mr. Moorhead
who, if he be an ignored individual. in this
matter, has also been, indeed, a long suffering
one.
Among the most tedious matters of the ses
sion have been the contested seats in the
House. All of last session the Hozlett—Agnew
case attracted attention, and during the present
session the question of appointing a committee
to investigate alleged irregularities in seating
Mr. Agnew was discussed almost beyond en
durance. The Fowler vs. Felthoff case which
has been on the- tapir all of this session has
at last been decided against the sitting mern
ber Felthoff, democrat, and in favor of Fowler
contestant, republican. It is a matter of very
little importance, except to the two individuals
personally interested.
The famous Recorders' bill defining and en
larging the duties of the Recorder of Phila
delphia has become a law. The Senate
amendments were concurred in by the House
on Thursday, the Governor the same day
signed the bill, and nominated to the Senate
for the position of Recorder Secretary of the
Commonwealth Hon. Matthew S. Quay. Who
is to be Mr. Quay's successor in his present
position deponent sayeth not, but lion. John
B. Linn, deputy secretary, is favorably men
tioned on every hand. He is a gentleman of
the first water, and no better secretary could
be found.
Yesterday the resolution agreed upon in
republican caucus, fixing May 24 as the date
of final adjournment of the legislature was re
ported from the committee on Ways and Means.
It was like a fire brand in a field of flax. A
general discussion of a rather heated character
immediately ensued, during which it became
evident that the friends of "anti-discrimina
tion," and other important measures, were de
termined that this resolution should not pass
the House until their bills were considered.—
It was sent to the Judiciary General committee
where it will be kept as long as possible.—
Following this action on part of the House, a
resolution fixing afternoon sessions on Mon
days and Fridays was voted down. This was
an application of the lex talionis, and the whole
business is rapidly assuming the shape of a
Kilkenny fight, in which the people are the
losers. B.

I had a splendid trip of it if it was among

The homesteaders are happy over the promis

lars are foolish and don't realize what they are
doing by staying in Pennsylvania. If they
would come here they would soon become in

as lazy, slothful people cannot get along any

England's Great Strike.
TWENTY THOUSAND OPERATIVES LOCK
ED OUT.
The great strike of the Lancashire cotton
operatives, which has begun at Blackburn,
springs from the determination of the employ
ers throughout Lancashire, the seat of the
British cotton industry, to enforce a reduction
of ten per cent. in the operatives' wages. This
reduction has caused general commotion and
led to several meetings and conferences. On
the 9th inst., a conference was held in Man.
cheater at which the operatives offered to sub
mit to a reduction of five per cent., but the
masters refused to agree to it. The cotton
masters met at Manchester on Friday, the 12th
inst. ' and resolved to support each other pecu
niarly to the event of isolated strikes against
the ten per cent. reduction, until the conflict
terminates. On Saturday also 3,000 operatives
met at Blackburn, and declared that they
would not accept the reduction of 10 per cent.
proposed by their employers. Another meeting
was held at Blakey Moor,at which an uncompro
miaing spirit of resistance was exhibited. On
Tuesday of this week 5,000 operatives met at
Burnley and declared against the threatened
reduction. At Accrington, on the BMOC day,
1,500 operatives offered to accept the ten per
cent. reduction, provided the masters ran the
mills only four days per week and 5 per cent.
if the mills ran five days. Similar resolutions
were passed at Church, Harwood and Enfield.
At Preston abeut 4,000 operatives offered to
accept a 5 per cent reduction. On Tuesday,
also, a workmen's deputation called on the
Manchester cotton masters and declared that
they would accept a 5 per sent. reduction, or
refer the matter to arbitration. The masters
rejected these offers, and agreed to uphold each
other. The council of the operative spinners,
after their interview with the masters on Tues
day, resolved to recommend the members of
that association to accept the proposed reduc
tion for the present, and call a representative
meeting of spinners for Sunday, to decide upon
a future course. The operatives at Accrington
and district, Church, Harwood, Enfield and
Preston are willing to accept reduced wages
and reduced time, but there is no hope of the
masters accepting such a proposal, The Black
burn and Burnley operatives resist uncompro
misingly, and, the great strike has already
been inaugurated at Blackburn.
The beginning of the strike at Blackburn
would seem to involve its extension to the
whole Lancashire cotton district, as the mas.
ters have passed a resolution to the effect that
if a strike occurs at any of the mills where no
tice has been given of the 10 per cent. reduc
tion the remainder of the trade shall lock-out
at gas earliest possible moment. This action
leaves 'little doubt that the struggle will event
, ually iovOiYS the it,oppe.ge of over 200,000
HARRISBURG, April 20, 1878
looms and 6,000,000 spindles and render idle
'not less than 120,000 work people. The total
numiper of looms in the district is 212,000, out
of a total of 470,000 in Great Britain. The full
extent of the strike and lockout, however, will
not be indicated until the middle of next week,
as some of the notices of the reduction in wa
ges do not expire until Tuesday and Wednes
day next. As the employers have large stocks
on hand, they will regard with complacency a
period of enforced idleness which may termi
nate in a lower rate of wages, and the chances
are therefore all in favor of the masters stading
firm.
Abandoned at Sea.
At all times ships of one kind or another
are floating about at sea, abandoned by officers
and crew, in what seems a hopeless condition.
Some are dismactled and mere hulks, some
are swimming keel upwards, some are water
logged, but being laden with timber will not
sink, but are driven hither and thither •s the
wind and waves may direct. So people
afflicted with catarrh, bronchitis, and con
sumption, are abandoned by physicians and
friends as incurable, yet thousands of such
are annually restored to perfect health by the
use of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy and Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. The
Catarrh Remedy is unequaled as a soothing
and healing local application, while the Dis
covery purifies and enriches the blood ar.d
imparts tone and vigor to the whole syr.!•.;..m.

Dyspepsia ! Dyspepsia ! Dyspepsia !
Dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all
human ailments. Its symptoms are almost
infinite in their variety, and the forlorn and
despondent victims of the disease often fancy
themselves the prey, in turn, of every known
malady. This is due, in part, to the close
sympathy which exists between the stomach
and the brain, and in part also to the fact that
any disturbances of the digestive function
necessarily disorders the liver, the bowels
and the nervous system, and affects, to some
extent, the quality of the blood.
E. F. Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron a sure
cure. This is not a new preparation, to be
tried and found wanting, it has been prescribed
daily for many years in the practice of eminent
physicians with unparalelled success. It is
not expected or intended to cure all the dis-
eases to which the human family is subject,
but is warranted to cure Dyspepsia in its
most obstinate form. Kunkel's Bitter Wine
of Iron never fails to cure. Symptoms of
Dyspepsia are loss of appetite, wind and rising
of the food, dryness of the mouth, heartburn,
distension of the stomach and bowels, consti
pation, headache, dizziness, sleeplessness and
low spirits. Try the great remedy and be
convinced of its merits. Get the genuine.
Take only Kunkel's which is put only iu one
dollar bottles. Depot, 259 North Ninth Street,
Philadelphia, Pa. It never fails. For sale
by all druggists and dealers everywhere.

Ask for E. F. Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron
and take no other. Six bottles for five dollars,
or one dollar per bottle.
WORMS!! WORMS I WORMS !
E. F. Kunkel's Worm Syrup never fails to
destroy Pin, Seat and Stomach Worms. Dr.
Kunkel is the only successful physician who
removes Tape Worm in two hours alive with
head, and no fee until removed. Common
sense teaches if Tape Worm be removed, all
other worms can be readily destroyed. Send
for circular to E. F. Kunkel, 259 North Ninth
Street, Philadelphia, Pa., or call on your
druggist for a bottle of Kunkel's Worm Syrup

Tortures that Need not be Endured.
People suffer a great deal of pain unneces
sarily. Among tortures that need not be
endured are those inflicted by the rheumatism
and gout, since the acrid element in the blood
which produces them by contact with the
sensitive covering of the muscles and joints
may be eliminated by the use of that match
less depurent, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
before the inflammatory symptoms are devel
oped to any great extent. When it is consid
ered what excruciating tortures rheumatism
inflicts, and what a tendency it has, when
fully developed, to attack the heart, the
advisability of an early use of such a reliable
antidote becomes at once apparent. The
rheumatic virus is expelled from the blood by
the increased action of the kidneys—which
act as strainers—produced by the Bitters, and
the sufferer will find, if be uses this supreme
defensive agent, that he will be protected
against a return of the agonizing complaint.
Dyspepsia, fever and ague, liver and bowel
complaints and other maladies, are also cured
by this admirable remedy. [aprill2-3t
