Tae Republican political pot is not done boiliug over “yet, and the mince meat section of that organi: zation theatens to get together in the shape of a majestic bull and walk iato the party chins shop and have a picnic. Commissioner Henderson is charged with distributing rieg whisky up in his bailiwick on the day of the delegate election. From our knowledge of the boss of the commissioners office we would say thisis a base fabrica: tion. Tue democracy of Lehigh coun: ty distinguished itself by endorsing Cleveland for President and Sou: den’s course in Congress. Now only one of the two can be right. Either the President and the great bulk of the democratic party of the country are right on the question of tariff revision, or Mr. Souden whose course in Congress is in direct op: position to the President's views, is right. If the President is right Souden is wrong and vice versa. What is the use in endorsing such extremes, it only makes the party appear ridiculous and even an idiot can see the abs Jiw of it THe contest iu Lycoming conmty for delegates to the Democratic State Convention narrowed itself down toto a Cleveland and anti- Cleveland fight. The Randall peo- ple under the tead of Mr. Cochran of the executive committee going in to give the administration a black eye. The resuit was as might be expected the administration people won. It ought to be clear to Mr. Paadall und his followers by this time that the democracy of the country endorse and will sup. port Licartily the policy of its presi. dent, und Pennsylvai.. is not go ing to aid and comfort the enemies of democracy simply because one of her once trust ! ders has gone into the oppvini u camp, A TEMPEST IN A TEA-POT The battle of the {clans which began in earvest two at the Conven- [tion on Tuesday by the complete i i Republican vinin} WOCCKS ago « losed discomfiture of the Wigton crowd. {if Mr. Wigton ever knew that was running for delegate to t lican National ( lorgotton onvention certainly it eer this, { which some healing lotion will have to be applied by the victori- ican body ous ring before the republ 1 regain its 1 he ler the open leadership « 1 normal con- } were Wigton forces Gill those Dale werful Uni al Siamese twins, the th lan Dawson politi brothers assisted by ec po In . | Steel family, the « andl | by | !

At no time was Hastings in danger, but the vast quantities of Wigton wind were taken for a coming cyclone. It was laughable to see such a large tempest in so small a tea-pot. The Wigton for- ces were all Major Generals and there were no high privates in the rear rank. At four o'clock on Sat- urday afternoon Hastings had the county solid, and the Wigton fel. lows began to double up, get sick at the stomach and look generally broken up. Napoleon Love met his Waterloo, the fleshy bond of union was almost sundered and the Dale Siamese twins pulled in op- posite directions. The Steel family disintegrated, while the Dawson clan folded its tents and silently stole away. Candidate Wigton early became disgusted at his “cat- tie” and the loss of the “sinews of war,, and looked for other worlds to conquor, ‘where the fighting would not be so severe. Gen, Hast- ings can stick a very large feather in hig cap, check his grip for Chi. cago and pat his opponénts on the back. The machine is successful. To Democrats the whole fight was supremely ridiculous, the charge of the Hastings brigade on the Wig- ton wind mills was as well execu- ted as that of Don Quixate and its results not nearly so severe on the chargers. THE RUBBER TRUST. One of the most iniquitous of all the trusts that a high tariff has forced ou the people of this coun- try und onc lat goes as deep into i the pockets of the poor man as any other,isthe “rubber trust.” Of all the rubber goods used in this country, at least ninety per cent is of home manufacture, The immense pio. dust of American manufacture’ is under the control of two or three great firms, There is a combine or “trust which regulates the price of Lhergare many sore spots tO | ted in the cause of the bold Adju- | 1 | labor and the price of the product, | which determines the amount cf rubber put into each shoe and reg of the goods of fraud consumer the | not get he ulates the smallest details The | American manufacture is a Lan l imposition on the The trust is the result of tariff and we business, rubber wn Will + wil me 1 rubber goods until the trust is brok {en up by admitting foreign good When ol } manufacturers of rub Tr rate duty in Der ds are compelled to cover their muslin over shoes with something more than a rubber varnish, in or them at il be der to find a market for home then the umer w con fairly treated and not until Thus the eating out the substance of arc great trusts WASHINGTON LETTER ustom of rolling egg have been unable t is purely a local rigin many Year oar the Cap ’ gr throw the Whit OM instead.

All social barriers were severed and all met upon a true democratic equality. The dainty litte tot from the west end could be seen rolling her eggs down the terraces to the black little Arab whose clay-stained clothes were sug gestive of the alley. All were happy together. When the Presideat came down stairs to hold his public reception at midday, he found the children had invaded the East Room in such pum bers as to fill every available noox aod corner, and aseach had brought with him a supply of bard boiled eggs which in some uoacountable way he managed to drop accidently on the floor or break upon the furniture, the appearance of the room at the the close can better be immagioed than described. Tne President, however, took in all good naturedly, and had » platsnnt word for all, Although the Benate has done much during the week in the way of legislation, practically nothing has been done by the House of Ropresen: taliyes since Wednesday last. The bill providing for the refunding of the direct tax of 1561 was taken up om Wednesday aod it was soon apparent that the friends of the bill were decid edly ino the majority. The opponents of the bill at onve took to filibustering in order to prevent final action being taken. Every attempt to secure a vote upon the bill was met by motion after motion, each involving a call of the roll. Fourteen of the Stawes fail ed to pay the quota of tax allotted to them, aud these states appear ww be indebted to the Government the sum of about $3:000.000, woile tne other states hope Ly the passage of the bill to have the 817.000.000 collected from them refunded.

Dr. Fordyce Barker on behalf of the attending physi. cians, said that Mr. Conkling was resting much easier and that there was no immediate danger of death His temperature was 102 and his pulse about 92. Dr. Barker said that the operation was in every way successsu. Two holes about half an inch in diameter were made in the skull behind the ear and about an ounce of matter was taken out. He seemed soon after to be greatly relieved, and while the recovery of the patient is not assured, he stands a much bet. ter chance than before. After the operation Mr. Conkling arose and walked into an adjoining room and returned. Besides the physicians Mrs. Conkling and her married daughter were constantly with the patient.

J ne Knox died in 1572. .His big clock was handed down to his family for over two { hundred years when it finally came in- tothe hands of John Witaerspoon, father of one of the signers of che Deo- 'aration of Indepeadence, When John Witherspoon, the son left Soottland in 1768 to take charge of Prinoetoa College he brought the old heirloom and when he was elected to the Continental Con- gress the old time piece was ticking in his parlors, and indicated the hour of bis departure to transact his patriotic duties. Dr. Witherspoon prized the clock very highly. He cleaned it him- self at regular intervals, and took pleas ure in showing it to his friends and the members of Congress. When he died he requested it should remain in his family and firstborn of succeeding gen- erations. At the death of Dr. Wither spoon, in 1794 the clock came into the possession of bis daughter, Marion, who subsequently married the Rev. Dr. James 8. Woods of Lewistown, who died in 1872.
