THE orange crop of Florida this
year is estimated at 202,000.000, or
000,000 boxes, 330,000 over last years
production.
COOPER'S trick mules rehearsed
twice this week in the senate chamber
three minutes each time by the watch,
for which the revolutionists expect to !
draw 830 each per day.
IT might be in order for the voters
to remember that John B. Niles, the
Republican candidate for Auditor
General, was a mernlier of the legis
lature iu 1800, and voted for the
"nine million steal."
A MISSOURI Judge has decided that
poker playing is a felony. If that is
good law for the whole country, we
can imagiue what a dense population
of respectable felons there are in the
United States.
JUDGE KKLLKY has urrived at
home from Europe, where he spent
the spring and summer, invigorated in
health and of course prepared to act his
part in the congressional drama to
commence in December.
THE Carlisle Volunteer has serious
doubts whether "Don Cameron and
John Mitchell, both put together, are
worth $3,000 a day." Well, throw in
Tom Cooper and John Stewart, and
see how the balance stands.
THE Republican party must go.
Ohio registered the decree, and Petto
sylvaaii always affirms the verdict of
her neighboring commonwealth. "As
goes Ohio, so goes Pennsylvania" we
have often heard from our Republi
can friends.
THE new depot of the B E. V. R.
R. at Bellefonte is programing finely.
Hon. L. A. Markey, President of the
road, while in Bellefonte last week, '
looked at the old depot and winked.
We hope all our readers may live lo '
see this improvement completed.
DIGGING the ireuchea for the pipos | <
vf the steam heating apparatus is go- i
ing on rapidly. We are glad to see i
the push in this new enterprise ; hut
it would have been much bettor, if
the work had been done earlier in the
aeason, so the streets c.-uld have be
come settled I>efore the lainy weather
set in.
COOPER claims IVuusvlvania by
20,000. Niles, affecting to believe
him, proclaims it. It it very satisfac
tory, at this early day, to havo the ex
act figures, but it is not safb for our
Republican friends to bet high on
Cooper's accuracy. This was demon
strated last fall, and is likely to be
more than demonstrated this fall.
NEXT F*turday night. A. Wilson
Norria and some other fellow hy the
name of Eshelinatt, are going to dem*
lonstrate to the employes of the differ
ent iron works in this county the prac
tical benefit of a Republican tanfT on
• charcoal iron. They will also explain
the advantages to the people of keep
ing two or three millions of dollars in
tho sinking fund without interest in
violation of the requirements of the
Humes' law.
The Eloction and tho Tariff.
From the close of the war every
j time there was nn important campaign,
; the Republicans have set tip a cry
! that the success of their party was
1 necessary in order t<> have R protective
I tariff. Although from 1805 to 187->
j they had control of both hrauchcH of
I congress, they did nothing to re arrange
the war tariff, or to afford the protec
tion which a well regulated tariff
would furnish our manufactories. The I
Democrats had the house of represtu- j
talivea from I*7!> to 1881 and the
senate from I*7l* to I*Bl and no re
' duction of the taritf occurred. In the 1
j last congress the Republicans had '
I once again a majority in both houses.
(The taritf of I**3 is the result. 'I he
tariH" on wool was reduced iu the in
terest of the great woolen manufac
tories of the country. The wool
growers of Ohio have been heard from,
ami John Sherman and J. Warren
Keiffi-r are •■adder if not wiser men.
The tarif on charcoal iron is reduced
so as to leave our manufactures iu
Centrecounty without protection. Thi*
in the face of all the promises of 18*0.
j Let the Republican manufacturers of
, charcoal iron iu Pennsylvania imitate
j the wool growers of Ohio, and resent
this treachery to their interests on the
part of the Rt publican party in con
gress. This is their only wi.-e course ;
for if they still will blindly follow
these leaders who have betrayed them,
they can hope for nothing better in the
future.
Tnr. Republicans -eem to he in des- I
perate .ear that if Ben Butler is re
elected Governor of Massachusetts, he
will of necessity he the Democratic
candidate for President. They niav
as well "possess their souls in peace"
on this subject. He has no mora
chance for this distinction than the
"man in the moon." We are too well
supplied with distinguished and high
toned statesmen in the iJemocratic
party, lo freeze to one who has flirted
so desperately with the Republican
heifer. Ibnjamin makes a good g,,v
ernor for Massachusetts—the right
tnan in the right place, and ntay in
time restore the old commonwealth to
respectability hy continuing to expose
Iter "Tewkshury" and other enormities, j
They had better keep htm. They .
need all the courage and manliness he
learned in his association with the
Democrats before and after his set vice
iu the Federal ranks.
CoEEECTICUt has discarded bcr
character as "The land of steady halv
its" and may now be called "the land
of steady murders." The one thing
they do successfully there is to mur
der defenceless women. The one thing
they cau l do, is to discover the mur
derers. Another murder, equal in
brutality, has been added to the Mary >
Stewart, Jennie Cramer and Rose 1
Clark Ambler list. Of course every
man, woman and child in Connecticut
will have a "theory" or "clue", audi
while they ure busy Themriring" and
"working" out the "clues" the mur
derer of Julia Godfrey escape*. Yea,
verily, everything is refined and "rul
chawd" in New England.
CHEAP ENOUGH !— A Northumbcr- j
land county fair one who brought suit
for breach of promise, testified that the
vascillating lover had kised her 100,- I
000 times during the engagement. ,
The jury awarded the plaintiff dam- I
agoa in the sum of 81,008 00, which is '
•bout three cents a kiss, thus giving
the standard value of that article in
Northumberland at that sunt. Cheap
eoough !
WK do not see any reason why so
much objection is taken to the dec!- !
sion of the .Supreme Court on the
civil rights art passed by a crazed
Congress. The Court could not do
otherwise unless they voted themselves
a set of imbeciles. Resides, all that 1
there is in the decision ia the reduction 1
of the colored man to the level of the
white man.
