The Republicans have commenc- ed the fighting among one another as to who shall have the spoils and every day the list of applicants is increasing, Friends of Gov. Beaver are imploring him; the camp followers of Gen. Hast. ings’ squad are daily beseeching him, while no cae takes any note or cares for the influence of James P. Coburn, Esq., of Asronsburg, Pa., the one who ren. dered such great service to his party by his little speech in Ohio. All sorts of claimes are being urged and every one expects it. Another squable has arisen but of a different complexion. Sometime ago the Department sent a representative here to select a proper location for the office and one that would be the most suitable. Iu his report it is alleged that many things were misrepresented through the influ. ence of down town politicians, The Department has been informed by the “ap-towners” that such is the case ‘and & petition is being circulated Bnd has been signed by several hundred citizens in this part of the borough to Jiave the post office brought back to its former loeation, in the Crider hullding.

The operators and shippers” of bituminous coal along that river have resolved to stop shipments and close their mines indefinitely froin the first of December, and over 6,000 miners and many hun. dreds of river boatmen will be thrown out of employment in the opening of the winter. people, and, women and children, are suddenly and hopelessly deprived of been irregular and not there are desperate times many. The operators explain that their action was rendered necessary by the overstocking of the market do to the unusual continuation of the conditions favorable to coll transportation by river. According to them the market is glutted with their coal and the landings so erowded that the great loss would fol- low a freshet or a cold snap freezing the river. Facility of commercial inter. very paying thing, but here is a disaster of alzrming proportions charged directly to unusual ly favorable transportation facilities, They can market their coal so easily that they cannot afford to mine it. The reason given may be the true one, though the operation has a true look. But whatever the cause the incident certainly reveals a most unhealty state find themselves on December first with. out wages, or the prospect of any, will he very apt to wonder what is the mat- tor with the American system of j tee. tion. 1% may occur to some who lately cast their ballots in apprehension of free trade that if the industries that nse their coal, or the eastern competitors of those industries, had a chance to sell in foreign lands they would need more fuel and pay better prices.

The Supreme Court of this State has | rendered a decision relative to the trials | of persons charged with murder. It has decided that a disagreement of the jury in murder trials is equivalent to an ac. quittal, and that the accused person cannot be arraigned again for trial after | one jury has failed to agree. The ground for the decision is the constitu. tion, which says that a man cannot more than once be put in jeopardy of “life and Hmb.” — Judge Allison, of Philadelphia, re. cently reprimanded an officer of the law who made an arrest without a warrant and without seeing the offence, which defines the rights of citizens and police men. He said : : If an officer makes an arrest without a warrant he becomes a wrongdoer himself if he does not see the offence committed, and hes responsible for any violence he may inflict on the prisoner. A citizen arrested when hie has not vio- lated any law is not bound to submit, and may use force enough to resist, but no more, If an officer undertakes to make an Mlegal arrest it is the same as if a private citizen should do it, for an officer is protected by the law only when | executing the law. wavers in its ad. | California wants | | protection for its wines and woolens and | Alabama wants it for its iron and | { lain with seeming savage delight, manufactories and | up there | It is entirely safe to assume that | fori peremptorily demand free raw materials | tection only to labor, and not to monop- MYSTERIOUS MURDERS The Whitechapel murders, perpetrat. ed by unknown wretches, or the work of an individual monster in London, Eng., are pronounced by the newspapers of all countries the most horrible ever record. ed, are exaggerated in this particular. | They are not the most horrible ever re- | corded and are only remarkable because they are confined to a certain class of people, women of the town, who are In Venice and other towns of Italy, there were periods of dead | midnight assassin left scores " a [| bodies along its canals, or the cup of the | poisoner did equally fiendish work. be sure these victims were not confined { to a class, but the assassins escaped, asa | In India, the professional thug’ | times | rule was a creature who could at all i be hired to commit murder, and the sults of nis wor without a tive though he never struck for pay. of thoroughly organized as almost to They vy miles to perpetrate a murd 1e- K, were mo- 50 far as he was concerned, I'he composed ¢ sperados arrest or detection, aq returned to their home 8 N 1 £ OLLIE Iuraers none of which they cause there was ne catch them, ckened by bron now horrify London Maguires murders in {f our State POLITICSINTHEG.

All the cities on the lakes are learning to rely moreevery day on soft coal from Pennsylvania, and as the lake freights are very low the sup. erior quality of this is making a head. way that cannot be checked. This section is fortunate in having the best coal in the United States, ex- ept that it may be possible that the Connellsville region surpasses it, Whether or not this is a fact or simply prejudice in favor of Counelyville re. mains to be determined, It is enough to know that Jefferson and DuBois coal holds its grip whereever is gets in, The lake cities realize that good cheap cond is tobe had from this section.

A Ittle better crop was obtained in 1885 than in 1886 but the yield and inferior saccharine quality in both years was discouraging. The experiment tends to confirm the opinion that the climute of central Pennsylvania is unfitted for the culture of the sugar-beet for manulnet- uring purposes. The failure in Centre county ought mot, however, to dig curage further tests in other parts of the experime auspices of the | state where the soil, tempe. oe and oh. er conditions may be possibly nove Sw | orable.
