Unlnstrucled, as It will be, how- aver, it is quite certain that the Pennsyl vanla delegation will not waste IU strength by scattering votes when it gets to tho Con venllon, and it will have nearly two mouths after the State Convention in which to further sound the sentiment of the party It represents," U selected to conduct them.

Tho death of Roscoe mon whom ho bad helped to place the power Conkllng brings to mind the emi nent qualities of the gentleman; bigoted partisan hatred fades from mind when a yawning tomb opens threateningly to re ceive a victim; the better qualities of man comes to the surface; men and journals are loud and earnest In their expression of sympathy. Prior to the administration of James Garfield, Conkllng was, with the exception of Blaine possibly, tho leading figure la the Republican party. A forceful and vigorous speaker of vast intellectual attainments, he was from the first promi nent in all the party caucus'.

MATHETV ARNOLD, THE DISTINGUISHED English poet, scholar and critic, died sud aemy oi neart disease at Liverpool on Monday. Mr. Arnold was born at Lale ham, near Stlnes, in Middlesex, December 24, 1822, and was educated under his father at Rugby, at Winchester and at Ballol Col lege, Oxford. His sudden and unexpected death will be much regretted by hosts of admirers, not only In his own country, but In America, where his friends wera limited. deserted him In the hour of his direst need In the midst of the doom of this dark. hopeless night one face shone out like an ancel of llabt. a face which boyercd o'er his ceuch in his long and weary sickness, which beamed with joy at tho hope of re turnlnc health, which shared uncomplaln lngly the Ignominy of his prison bars and rejoiced with him on his freedom from captivity, and when death came, like an angel of mercy, she wasstill by his side and she pressed her pallid Hps to bis as with tho last faint exclamation of "Mabel" upon his Hps ho yielded up the ghost. It is said that In this World of ours there Is an lncvl table law of compensation from which there Is no escape; for every good thing we have there Is a penalty to pay, and a com pensation for every evil and 111 that we su0er. Jacob Sharp found his compensa tion in his wife. Tho Scribes and rhari sees fled from hlra affrighted. An offense which had been sanctioned by precedent In State and national councils for a hundred sears was macnined in importance to crime without a name. The pulpit thun dered forth its anathema and a mighty press howled out its malediction; all the goody-goodies who bv lucky chance bad escaped the penalty oi ineir crimes; raisea their hands In holv horror as if no such sin bad been beard oi since tno creation oi man. He became the tareet for all sorts of ruffians and persecutors who nopea in nis ruin to profit b his downfall. The colossal fortune wnlcn he bad pueu up wun so much care was rapidly vanishing; health was cone, prison bars hemmed him around death was not far off, and In his last agony It seemed as If his dying scene would ue passed In a convict's cell. Everything else was gone, but there still, thank God, was the Mabel of his early love, the Mabel whose hand he clasped before the altar In his young manhood's prime, and who swore to cherish him In sickness an In health, and In the fuldllmsntof her oath abandoned her beautiful house, horses, car riages, servants, wealth, all, and there stood till death claimed him, faithful amonc the faithless to the last. On the seventh day November last.when the result of our municipal election was announced, I then ventured the prediction that Jacob Sharp would never see tue in Everybody should plant a tree on Arbor Day, 27th instant, to insure against our country becoming barrer and desolate of forests. School children especially should be impressed with the importance of properly observing this day set aside by our Legislature for repairing the eyils subsequent to the rapid destruction of Pennsylvania forests.

There is a streak of brains in the family. The Republican State Convention will be held In the Opera House, at Harris burg, on the last Wednesday of April, the 35th, 1888, at 11 o'clock a. m for the pur pose of nominating one candidate for Su preme Judge, two persons for presidential electors at-larga and twenty-eight persons for presidential electors electors, the latter to be named by the delegates from the Con gresslonal districts where districts have not previously named tbem.

That prediction now fulfilled: "nor steel, nor poison, malice un- domestic, forelcn lew. nothing can touch blm further." I would not make light of so crave an offence as bribery, a crime which saps the foundation of an govern ments. But Jacob Sharp was the creature of tlmo and circumstance. He found the government of the city of New York In the hands or a set of tbugs and tnieves wuo were placed in that exalted pobitlon of trust bv lecal voters of the city. A great public Improvement was needed and- theso men blocked the way. hunsry for plunder. Jacob Sharp gave them tbelr price and got his franchise. Then the whole desperate crew who had been defeated In sharing the plunder suddenly became frightfully virtu ous, and all of them In thunder tones de manded the blood of Jacob Sharp. Such bitter and pitiless storm of vituperation denunciation and abuse as followed him for two years past, has seldom fallen to the lot of man; and the only wonder was, at his advanced age and with his broken health, that ho survived for a single hour. But all that Is past now, the end has come for him and with it rest and peace. New York rides gaily up and down Broadway glad to profit by the work of the master genius, now so sorrowfully eclipsed. The boodle road, loaded with so many maledic tions, pays more money Into the city treasury than all the other railroads In the city put together. The men who shared bis crime and gold, with a few disgraceful exceptions, are citner in exne or in prison, He heeds them not. now his trial li finished, nolle proiequed by the providence oi uoa. From the darkness and gloom and sor row of this sad picture, like a bright bea con light through -a night of cloud and storm, stands out his wife, a grand exampl of exalted womanhood, of pure devotion of wifely honor, of heroic foitltude. of un selflsh and undying love. Her reward was in knowing that he to whom she bad pledced her maiden faith lone years aeo, even when borne down to the earth by disaster ana disgrace in tne last mortal agony of parting life, turned back wh half way through the gates of de ath breath once more bis darling Jfabel name. JFherever wifely honor Is prized wherever motherly love Is cherished, where purity, devotion and faith are honored among men, there will the n ame of Mabel Sharp be ensunned as an example American womanhood. Another life closed this weak in darkness and tears that of Senator- Bob Hart, old time minstrel known later on as the Itev. R. H. Sutherland, a distinguished Baptist Evangelist, who died In a small hotel on the west side of the town by bis own band. When after a violent spree some years ago, which brought blm to death's door, he professed religion and be gan to study for the ministry, it Is but just to his old associates in the profession who had been connected with h'.m roost cf his llf e.and who knew his weaknesses thorough ly, to siy, that tbey took no stock what ever in bis so-called conversion, and most of them felt that bis return to burnt cork and tambourine and bones, was merely a question of time. Several times during bis term of evangelization certain evidences of weakness cropped out which filled his friends with grave anxiety and alarm, and were precursors of the calamity which so suddenly overtook him last week. A little over a year ago, while carrying on a revival in the New England States, ha wa picks! up drnnic in tue streets, ins contrition for offonce and bis public repentance were matters of newspaper notoriety at the time, but the church readily condoned bis of fence, and received him with open atms, and he started anew In his work of evan gelization. A few weeks ago he began a revival In tho Baptist Church at Rockvllle Center on Long island. There among tho converts that crowded the anxious scat was voune and beautiful girl about fifteen years of age; taking advantago of his posi tion lie assaulted and ruined ner. anu men abandoned her for another victim. Detect- d in h i Infamy he was obliged to fly the town, or be would haye been killed by the father of the girl. For several days be was In hiding with the constable at his heels, and on Wednesday last he surrendered himself giving bail for his future appear ance next day he sought a low hotel on the west side of the town where ho bean drinking heavily, ho then sat down at a table in the barroom, wrote to a friend an nouncing his innocence of the crime of which he was accused, took poison and ended his life. Mr.- Sutherland was the legitimate pro duct of a vicious system which has unfortU' nateiy obtained in tuo past few years, oi seeking for popular pulpit evangelists in the mire. Only a short lime ago Brooklyn was convulsed over the trial of an eminent divine who had served a term In State's prison, and I know two men In' charge of an important mission in this city, one of whom was implicated in one oi tno great est crimes of thecentuiy. Mr. Sutherland's declaration of his Innocence goes for notu lng, even though associated with Ills dying breath, for against It are the letters in his own hand, and the confession of the girl whom he ruined, ue also asserted two hours before his death, when a friend found lilra drinking whisker and cautioned him against it that It was the first time he had tasted liquor forseven years.tnougu bis public confession of bis drunken de bauch was heralded through the press all over the United States, and for the past twelve days he had been on a continual spree. Tho church has no need of such teachers ; the tambourine and bones are but an indifferent preparation for pulpit evangelization, and If tho death of this un fortunate minstrel shall help to stop or mitigate this crying evil he will not have lived or died in vain. Crash coes tho National American upera onco more, floundering In the slough of despond. In two weeks organized as a co operation association, It has sunk oyer four thousand dollars, and the members once more are starving. The papers all declared that the operas were magnlllcent. the sing ers beyond all praise, the scenery splendid, the ballot delicious atid entrancing; but ll would not do, the people did not come, the box office did not show up, and tho result was nix, or to be classic I might haye said nlhal. Meanwhile Fanny Davenport s "Tosca," that all the critics, myself included, jumped on like a pack of hungry wolves, goes on from conquering loconouer houses crowd ed, boxes sold two week ahead, and now everybody wants to see it because the critics said it was wicked.

This It seems would bo the most effective way to deal with the loathsome epidemic. It Is mostly manifest In tho lower hovels, which are a natural adjunct of large cities, and are, as a rule, populated by the poorer class of our people. The negroes and Italians seem to be speci ally adapted to the spread and Infectlonness of small-pox. Jtany of the cases are being transferred to the municipal hospital, and nurses are in demand. The vaccine Pbv siciani are overcrowded over 100 persons being vaccinated dally. If the disease con tinues to spread, no doubt, many of those who havo tho means will leave the city.
