Wullsbobo Aoitator: It Is a little
difficult to see how temperance hygiene
Is to be effectually or usefully taught In
tho primary departments of the schools;
but under the terms of the law an effort
must be made to teach the abecedarians
physiology and hygiene "with special
reference to the effects of alcoholic
drinks, stimulants and narcotics upon
the human system." Perhaps In tlmo
wo shall have tho pretty prattlers of the
primary classes lisping In chorus:
A stands for Alcohol, Aitery. Air;
B fs for Drain that's Besotted by Beer;
f! Is hard Cider that's drank on the sly;
1) Is Digestion that's Damaged thereby.
And -so forth and so on. When our lit
tie folks get to discussing digestive, vas
cular and nervous disorders In words of
one syllable life will have acquired new
horror for all of us.

It should bo done.
The above we clip from last week's

Wc were not aware that there was any
movement being made to organize a
".("union for mutual protection" among
the publishers of this county. We had

istcd In the cranium of tho hon. gentle
man at Lansford; and further we do not
think it necessary to organize a "union
for mutual protection" wo have an
Idea that we can protect our own Inter
ests; there arc now entirely too many
unions and combinations of working
men. and capitalists both. Wc always
decline a job of work when wc cannot
make a fair, honest living profit out of
It. Let Uro. Maloyand all others do
the same aud there will be no necessity
for a "union for mutual protection" in
this or any other county.
The Fanners' (Chicago) Unlew has
made a complete survey of all the West
ern and Southern wheat-growing States.
"The gloomiest views advanced concern
ing the winter wheat outlook for 1883,"
It says, "must now bo accepted as tho
most accurate. The absolute uniformi
ty of the returns .indicate that the out
look this year Is tho worst In ten years
and it may bo set down as positive that
under the. most favoring conditions too
the total winter aud spring wheat yield
is to fall considerably under the short
crop of 1881, when tho total product
was K0,000,000 bushels." The Ilerietc
estimates the winter wheat yield at
about 200,000,000 bushels and the abso
lute iKireentagcs from the most trust
worthy sources Indicate that the yield
will fall somewhat undcrthan over these
figures. Tho probable spring wheat
yield, based upon continuing favorable
weather, will be i;50,000,000 bushels.
The total wheat crop of the -country,
therefore, from the present outlook, will
be from U20,000,000 to 2:10,000,000 bush
els, against an average yield for the past
live years of 401,000,000 bushels.
Govr.nxon Pattisox vetoed the Con
gressional and Legislative Apportion
ment bills. His veto messages give un
answerable reasons for his action, and
no man can read them without coming
to the conclusion that there was no al
ternative courseopen to htm. Tho Con
gressional and Legislative districts, as
arranged, defy every rule of law and
constitutional requirement by such gross
inequalities of ratios and flagrant disre
gard of popular convenience and geo
graphical distribution that the Governor
could not In conscience cither approve
tho apportionments by signing the bills
or allow them to become laws without
his signature. Their Ingenious badness
n-c;ssltatod the exercise of the veto
power. At least an opportunity Is now
Afforded the Legislature to do better.
If It .turns out that the vetoes arc not
over-ridden, and further legislation falls,
the present apportionments will stand.
They are no worso than those proposed.
If Governor Pattlsou!s course does not
succeed la preventing a political Injus
tice It will not be the means of produc
ing a greater Injustice. The obdurate
determination of the Republican majoil
ty to break down the safeguards of con
ttltutional, requirement Is responsible for
whatever mischiefs may result.
STOPPING WORK.
X. Y Sux: Iu every period of Indus
trial stagnation and business depression,

workshops, on account of disputes re
specting wages and hours, are sure to

greater the strikes and stoppages.

This Is not an encouraging symptom,
but the opposite. It docs not look to

It Is evident that the commercial, In

OUR HAMBURG LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent. ''
HARKisnuRO, Pa., June 2, 1885.
I feel it my duty to say something
about the Governor's action in vetoing
tho apportionment bills, but just how to
get at it I don't know. To a good many
it was a surprise but from reliable
sources I was assured that it would come
u few dnys before the document made its
appearance. Of course the first question
naked was, what were his reasons? They
were only two. First that tho districts
were not composed of compact and con
tiguous territory; second, tho number of
inhabitants in each district were not
equal or in oilier words the ratio of pop
ulation in each district varied too much.
In connection with these I might add a
third reason,which is that his Democratic
friends drove him to it because tl.ey
claim that they havo no fair representa
tion. These reasons are very poor upon
which to claim a justifiable action.
These three reasons aro not sufiicient 'to
justify the Governor in impeding tho
coiiKumation of this important subject.
it the uiiolc nttair is closely scrutinized
it will be found to bo a political meas
ure. Docs tho Governor presume to soy
that his opinion is better than that of 201
members and OU senators If it was 60
very unfair why did not the Democrats
oppose it in tho House and Senate, or
why did the Governor not tell the mom.
hers and senators when ho sent tho two
bills, namely tho Senatorial and Repre
sentative, back to have thorn put into
one, mat unless nicy made an attempt
and orcrcomo the difficulties, which he
sets forth, ho would veto the bill. Does
he presume to say that he is right and
the legislators wrong? When I tay that
tho Governor mado a mistake, I say it
free trom any political bias. It is not
likely now that this legislature at this
late date will pass any other apportion
ment bills. To-morrow (Wednesday) is
the day bet apart to pass it ovcr"the veto,
in tho Senate, and if it pastes there it
will most likely pass tho House, at least
an attempt will bo mado to lollow the
Senate in its action. The responsibility
which was upon tho Legislature has now
been shifted upon the Governor's shoul
ders. Our correspondent should ''stick"
to news not comment; his views aro by
no means endorsed by us. Ed.
Wednesday last was tho day set apart
for the Legislature to visit Selins Grove,
to witness tho unveiling of tho monu
ment erected in lienor of ex-Governor
Simon Snyder. It was a fine day and as
a conscquenco nearly all the members
and senators attended. It is not neces
sary for mo to make any comment on the
affair as nearly all my readers by this
time havo read a full account of it in the
daily papers. I must say this, however,
that nearly everyone with whom I spoke
that was there are complaining about the
utter lack of arrangements. The entire
legislative party was dumped ofTattho
little station and left to wander around
town and get something to cat wherever
they could, The venerable Simon Cam
eron made a speech in which lie spoke
briefly of tho excellent character of the
Governor. Everyone united in praising
the speech of Governor I'attison oven
his most bitter political enemies wore
proud of his address.
A bill was called up by Mr. Brown, of
jvru-, in me uouse, winch provides that
member shall receive 81500 for each
regular session and $10 a dav at ratm
sessions and fixing tho compensation of
ollicers and employees. A hill like this
naturally would and did call for much
comment and many remarks, daring
which time an attempt was mado to re
duce the number of employes about the
capital, such as mcsscngcrs,door keepers,
pasters and folders. It was not accom
jdished and tho bill passed second read
ing. There is no doubt but that there
are too many pasters and folders, mes
sengers, assistant messengers, door keep
ers, assistant door keepers, scrgcant-at-arms.
assistant scnrcant-nt-nmii. ot
J en pasters and folders when one man,
with a half dozen boys, could do the
work, is a little too much. There is no
wonder that somo few of Mm mnm
scientious members aro trying to lessen
expenses, when they see this clarine and
wilful waste of money. There is no use
trying lo attempt anything like reform
as long as tho Republican party lias a lot
of political bummers and dead beats who
hang around tho elections, mako believe
mat ineir services aro indispcnsiblc and
nltcrwards demand positions for their
services. It is just such parties as 1
have described who mako up tho corps
or assistants and counter assistants that
hang around tho Capitol. They arc
Hungers on and loud mouthed Ipllows

it passed tho House on Tuesday evening.

There Is nothing your gcnulno reporter
iovcs so inucn as a gooa, Knotty subject,
the tougher and more mysterious the
better.. Some years ago when Chastine
Cojc. murdered tho landlady of a fashion

Ieath; there was absolutely no clue left;
the murder seemed to bo one of those
unfathomable mysteries that, tho juile-
ment-day ,nlono could unravel. Tho
entire. detective force of tho city was
turned upon the case; theory aftcrthcory
was woven and cxnloded. It soomod n

a young Roston reporter with only the
faintest .shadow of a clue, followed Hup
so successfully, fliat ho did what the
assembled detectives of tho United
btates could not do, nnd hunted the
murderer to the foot of tho gallows'.
A few years previous to that, wo were

the ubiquitous reporter appeared on the
sccno and he gave him somo clues to tho

was safely landed in States prison for
four years.
A case In many respect similar oc
curred this week where a female adven
turer tried to blackmail a lawyer; a re
porter again came to the front and the
syren took to flight, thus saving herself
a long term of imprisonment nnd the
awyer a number of ducats. Tho untir
ing energy of the reporter was never
better illustrated than in tho case of
Miss Bedlcnt, who committed suicide at
the Grand Central Hotel; not a thing
was known about her; she had taken
pains to destroy every clue; all the let
ters were cut from her underclothes
there was absolutely nothing to found a
theory upon, and yet, Inside of thirty
six hours the reporters had located her
in a utuo town In the interior of the
oiaie; ami in forty-eight hours had set
up for publication
dent of her life from tho hour of her
uirin. Another remarkable case of re
portorial enterprise is tho discovery of
Maxwell tho murderer of Prcllcr. He

What strango fatality is it that brings
nbout a succession of like crimes nnd
like accidents? Since the death of Prof.

to leap from the Brooklyn Bridge. Since

a most pronounced onn Intlm nrnin.H.n
of -Nprdeck by Frank Mayo at tho Union
Square. The piece is a good one nnd
has in It all the elements of great and
permanent success. One peculiarity of
it Is that though affording an Infinite
variety of character and the most ad
verse passions, there is not n line or let
ter in it to which a Mayflower Puritan
could object. It Is remarkable in its
construction In another respect: It Is not
written to display the abilities of one
man or one woman. Mr. Af.ivn ntir,a
the leading part and plays It nobly, hut.
ociunKis in ine piece quite
as good as Mr. Mayo's If tho actors who
play them had Mr. Mayo's ability. The
production of Nordcckwas especially In
teresting, as It brings to the front a
young lady who is destined to be the
rival of Mary Anderson. For this rare
creature wo have been looking In vain
for several years and It appears we have
found her at last. She is but little over
sixteen years of age, and her name Is
Kaytherlne Kidder. When -Mary An
derson first appeared In New York she
wasinucn older than Miss Kidder and
in oeauty and tlnlsh and thorough natur

were not tobecompared to tho perform
