The druggist may, on his own responsi bility, renew the drugs, for ho Is a mer chant, and has a right to sell drugs in any shape. He is not bound to givo a copy of the prcscription,nor even to keep it, though he usually retains it as a pro tection in case of error on the part of doctors or patients. The action of the late Statp Temper ance Alliance, in Maryland, in organiz ing as a political party has created con fufion which promises to destroy all their cflbrts. Rev. Thomas Poulson, of Haiti more, a prominent Methodist clergyman, has repudiated the action of tho Conven tion, declaring it unwise and against the best interests of prohibition. Mr. Wil liam Daniel, late Prohibition candidate ft r Vice President of the United States, rt'jtini the action. As most of the Pro hibitionists are Methodists, there is now every indication that each side will have its partisans, and tho fight will be a lfvelv one.

That municipality pro jioaccl to increase its indebtedness by an nmoimt which, though less than the two per cent, of the assessed valuation for bidden by the Constitution without the assent of tho electors at a public election, exceeded that percent, if added to the already existing debt. The city held that so long as the increase was less than two per cent, the consent of tho electors was not needed, but (he Supreme Court declares that tho assent of the voters must bo first received and dismissed tho lpcal a tho cost of the city. Already have the results of next fall' elections Lccomo a live topic, that in New York leading in importance. The Republicans arc preparing to take an appeal from last fall's result and have liiglr- Jjojjes of a reversal of that judg ment. What would bo tho significance of their success in New York goes with out saying. Indistinct ideas of a tidal wave aTe entertained by Republican lenders. It grows mainly out of tho hope of Democratic disunion and lethar gy, supcrlnducxd by the course of the Cleveland administration. From pres ent Indications it is as i e -sonablc to pre dict Republican asDmo;ratio indifier umi to party drill. What there is or is likely to bo of Democratic dissatisfaction Is liable to he olUet by Republican di visions and the general satisfaction tho Cleveland administration is creating amon the people at large. At present there is very little in the administration's mrs to create the expectation that the nppcal for a reversal of last fall's judg ment will succeed. Tho great public is not wi easily stirred when there is so lit tle that is objectionable. The jioople of Pennsylvania won a signnl victory Tuesday in tho House of lUprcM-utattviy, and tho railroad com panion that have arrayed themselves against the State Constitution received a crushing defeat. The section providing for tho posting of railroad rates, which had lieen rejected two weeks previously by an overwhelming vote was reinserted In a modified forin.

OUR HARRISBUR& LETTER. Sneoial to tbo Cahdoh Advocate. HiriEisBUBo. Pa., April 21, '85. Tho last week has been' a busy week, tho members nro beginning to realize that their time is drawing to a close, and they are endeavoring to make as much of tho remaining time as the possibly ctn. During the last week thero was considerable fun about the Hill and es pecially so on Friday when the Speaker discovered that there was no quorum. Ho ordered the doors to be locked and sent the Sergeant-at-arms to scour the city for delinquent members. He did not find any. It was amusing to see tho Ser geant with several policemen and a re porter hurrying from one hotel to anoth er and finally when tho could not cap ture any of the delinquent they took a drink and a smoko and dispersed. The Bullitt bill, tho high license bill, tho ap propriation bills, the bill to abolisli poll tax, the anti-discrimination and n bill to protect the fish in Lake Erie and the waters adjacent thereto, arc some of the most important bills that were up for discussion since my last letter. There is not mu;h doubt but that high license will ho obtained. The bill will pass whether it will be tho proper thing to do or not is a question. A number of the whisky and beer men claim that it will do them more good than harm. It will shut up the small drinking dens and make tho large one larger. The poll tax bill which is to abolish the paying of poll tax belorc tho right of suffrage Ib allowed was discussed at great length but was not passed. There were rsome very good arguments advanced why this billt should be passed, but jet they were not well received. Tho appropriations are still demanding attention. Ono of tho Philadelphia members told me that ho had a consults tiou with thu Governor about the difier cnt institutions that are asking aid, and the Governor said that he was not in favor of giving money to all tho small institutions which ask for it, bnt would most heartily favor giving to tho old and established institutions. The trouble now is that there arc so many small in stitutions that arc asking for aid, and in some cases they do not exist at'all, as the Connelsvillo Hospital for instance. An othcr'point was shown to mo regarding appropriations which shows that some money could be make. $18,102 were re commended by the committee to bo ap propriated for mileage for the members, senators and officers about the Hill; now this would be all right provided the par tics who get it would use it for the pur pose for which it is intended, but not one-tenth of it oes wlicro it should and where it is intended to be used. The railroad companies get very little, if any of'it, and yet they do tho carrying, in fact, I don't think there is a member, senator or officer about tho Hill who pays a dollar of mileage money, from tho time he comes here at the oicning of the ses sion until he leaves at the close, yet 1 suppose there is not one who will refuse to take all the mileage money he is en titled to. ' The House was treated to a bill from Mr. Bctts, of Philadelphia, which is real ly an absurd one. It provides that every skating rink shall pay an annual hcensc cf $1000, one-half of which shall go into the State, and the other half into the County Treasury. Any ono violating this provision shall be guilty of a misde meanor, and liable to a fine of $1000, one half of which shall be paid to the prose cutor. I ins question will work out its own existence. The more we tamiierl with these places as an evil the more of a hold will they take upon tho people. Let them alone and they will soon be compelled to close their doors for want it patronage, which is the case already with some ol the places. Several of the Philadelphia members are fearfully cross at an article which ap peared in ono of the Philadelphia papers this week. The article charged them with having formed themselves into n squeeze committee for the purpose of getting money out of parties who want their votes to pass bills which they are interested in. This is certainly a grave chargo and with tho personal acquaint ance I have with the members charged,I would unhesitatingly say that tho report is basely false. Tho report that M. S. Quay has announced himself for State Treasurer, Jias caused some talk about the Capital. Tho leading politicians nre paralyzed with astonishment to think that a politician of his standing, and a leading man such as he was represented to be, should aik for this office. Quay astonished the politicians because he did not ask for a higher oiT.ce. It is the opinion of a number of the "poiliicians tliat Mathew had better stay where ho is, namely, n boss, and let somo one else do the work. IIo will make a hard light for It uud will probably make It.

Take, for instance. Mr. Beecher. Up to quite re- ceuuy nis salary was szu.uuu n year, nud, as ministers ro, be was worth it. Brt tor three mouths he never goes near his church, and tor the other uine months it is safe to say that be will be absent from bis pulpit three months more so that he receives, or did receive SI 0.000 for which be rendered no iquivsleut except his name; and durlug that period of bis absence he usually fills up bis time leo tnriug his terms being from $300 to $500 per night, nut ir tbo cougn-gatioD, which pays tbe plprr, don't grumble.

Alter all my grnmbling we at last baye had solar wtather uhioh has brought us to tue meiung mood, it would require tbe constitution of a rhinoceros to stand the weather that we have gono through in tbe past week, Last Sunday tbe thermometer stood ubout 15 in the sun; on Wed .esday it registered 90 in the shade; and this midden change added but litile to the comfort ol tbe uufortun ate people who were compelled to move: ior you must uuow mat lully one-third, If not one-half of the people of New aim uroomyu move on tbe nrst ol May.

Hundreds of lives would be sacrificed perhaps this might be looked upou, not m the worst kind of a calamity, but we ooni want tnem Killed tu that way. Still it is dreadful to think of. that hun dreds of Hves may be saorifioed to tho cupidity of one man, who has -grown rieh in this nefarious business. One perjured rascal who was nsed as tbecatB- paw for a oontract for 10,000, had only been in the country thrte years, and bad never earned more tbau a dollar and a quarter a day in his life. Bnddsnseik was In suoh bad odor with Ibe building department that they woul not grant him tbe requisite permits to bnllit; in this dilemma he employed a lot of dummies about one hundred aud fifty every man of which was oompelled to commit perjury before he could gst un Dniiding permit, Tbe fault lies with our system of Inspection.

At least this picture impresses tbe spectator with such an estimate of the character of the Aztecs.

By their fruits ye shall know them," Is, I believe, the way It reads in the Bible, and il is thus that tho several States make themselves known In this Exposition. In this way our most southern State, Florida, is proclaiming to the world her matchless cbararter and advantages. There is bit--one Florida, and the Orange la her Queen, with a most Attractive coterie of bttendants tbe fig, lemon, pineapple, lime, grape. fruit, etc., while every vegetable, berry and vine known to the world, flourish in her genial soil and climate, not to mention sugarcane, cotton and many other crops. Thousands of northern people have found, ed pleasant winter residences In "Tho Italy ol America," and it is a rare Ihing to hear of anyone who is dissatisfied wltrThis in vestment. A newspaper paragraph recent ly noted the fact that Key. Charles Beecher. of Elmira, N. Y., bad been down there ro cently, gathering his orange cmp, while bis sister, also, Mrs. 8towe, spends ber winters gathering and enjoying the fruits ol her fine plantation in the same Slate, together ill) hundreds of others from the eastern and other northern states. The influx of people seeking homes in Florida Is very large, her cheap lands, rare productions and mild climate, having charms which few people are able to resist, after a brief acquaintance- with them. To the man ef limited means wishing to make a certain investment, no State ofler; greater pportunities than this peniesulo. While tbe climate is such as to make Hying com paratively cheap and easy, the nature of her products is such that the demand con-' stantly keeps pace with the increased sup ply, and so long as a first claia orange sells at five cents, there is no danger of a glut in the market: eveu a really giwd apple alter centuries of cultivation, cannot be bought In New Orleans today for less, while the licit trtnges on sala here, also brought CO cants per duwa. Besides, such Is the con stantly increasing demand for winter resi dences and orange groves in Florida, that aa anon as one- is eslabllshad a any fairly good locality, t can be readily disposed of at usually double Its cost.

The appointment of Edward J. Thelps, Esq., lo the OoUrtofSt. James, though at first favorably received, is beginning now to elicit some very unfavorable criticisms even from administration nowspapers. It is shown that Mr. Fholps, though ol late years a Democrat, has been conspicuous for his Indifference to the success of his party, and one speech in his own State (for which be afterwards apologized,) Is the extent of his stump efforts In bohalfofthe principles be espoused after he had gone down in the wreck ef the Old Whig party. It is shown also that Mr- Phelps bad a band in the great "Emma Mine" bubble, wherein he figured as the legal exponent of the print ciples of addition, division and silence, and which burst with such effect as lo collapse .fortunes of many of the great capitalists on both sides ol the water. With these com, plaints ol our most important Plenipotcntl ary, we have besides the charge that he Is tbe embodiment of codfish aristocracy, is a firm believor in royslly and tho toadyism pertaining thereto, and generally is any thing hut a Democrat In tho true accepts lion of tho word. The last Congress, under a pressure of public sentiment that it could not longer bear up against, passed an act prohibiting the Icnclng in oftbe publla domaia aud requiring ike rcnoyal ofall fences now ex isting that inclose the lands belouglog to the Government. Of course tVe law will not enforce itself, and therefore tho same pressure tbat bore upon Congress has now been transferred lothe President, who has issued bis proclamation announcing that the law must be enforced, and that ajl persons, companies or corporations who are maintaining fences upon tho public lands ot the United States must remove them at once, In default of which tbo President will take such measures ?s shall be neces sary, under the law, to rcmovo or destroy tbem. By the fifth section of tho law a sweeping authority is conferred upon the President, to employ bnlh civil and mill tary force sufficient to wipe out tbo lest yestige ol these unlawful iuclnsurrs. The people of tho country will hull with omi nent satisfaction the tidings that the ex- cculive has made up bis mind lo enforce the statute. Now that the cancer that Gen. Grant never had is expected to git well, it may net bo out of place to make referenco to the unbosoming of James D, Fish, who promises to make a somewhat protracted visit to a New York penitentiary, lor the hand be took in tho downfall ol the late Marine Bank. Fish declares that Grsnt waspriyy to eyery cne of Ward's rascally transactions, hecauso It was utterly Impos sible for him to haye bean imposod tipoo iu the' way that he pretends that he was, for no man in his right mind oould have conceived tho legitimacy of transactions upon which Ward made such enormous re turns where so small an amount bf capital was invested. Besides this, did not Grant sign tbe, guaranty to the genuineness ol Government contracts? and did he not per mit ward lo use his name tn accomplish successfully many very infamous transac t'ona,even aftor tbe bank bad demonstrated its inability to keep its head above water? When the excitement over Gen. Grant's ill ness dies out. Fish promises to lurnish some more Interesting chapters concerning this great publla crime. Dom Pgnao. COMUCS'IOATKD. 'Prohibitions."

From a care till examination of lhe advance pspes nf tbe 1885 edition of the American Nkwb papeu BinroTonr, issued May 1st, by Goo. I', Rowell t Com of New York, it appears that there aro 11.117 newspapers nnd periodicals published iu the United Stales and Canda; of these tbo United States has 12,973, au ayetago of one pa. per for every 3.807 persons. In 1881 the total number of newspapers was less by 821 than at present, and uhlle Ibe gain this yeor is uot so marked as in some previous years, .it is still considerable. Kansas shows lhe greatest increase, the number nelng 78, while Illinois follows with a gain of 77. It is ontlous to no tlce that New York, the scene of bo much political activity during the last cam paign, should hAve only about one-third ns rnary new papers as tbe fclitoof Peni syivania, as an index to tbe compnra. tlve growth and prosperity of different seo'Inns of tbo country, especially tbe Territories, the number of new papers forms an interesting study, and may well occupy tne niientinn or tbe curious.
