R, CHAMBERS, will not be in| the fight for delegate to the coming | State Convention; it looks as though he got groggy in the knees in the first | round. THERE'S not so much beefing against | the beef trust since Lent started, thinks | the Philipsburg Journal. But all the same the beef trust is both ‘‘beefing” and biffing the consumers, ABOUT the most important feature of news in the daily press the past week has been the Burdick scandal in Buffalo and the Corbett-McGovern prize fight in California; of course the M. E. Confer. ence, at Altoona has received some at. tention. THE Burdick murder trial, now going on in Buffalo, adds one more to scores of finger boards whither lead sham “society,” and the ways of the tony who put on turkey gobbler airs, behind which are sinful lives. Of, even, it is the case that such are ‘‘beggars on horse-back and riding to the devil.” THR Clearfield Republican says many good republicans take the awful slap administered to the machine Friday as notice to Judge Gordon to get out of the judgeship contest in time and not to be whipped out in November. Some of the Judge's old time supporters are talking this way now, and emphatically, too. THuE republican election for post- master of Clearfield remains undecided as the return judges refuse to issue a certificate to either of the contestants, there being charges by both the republi- can factions of gross frauds. No doubt it's all true, but lor’s, who'd thought republicans commit frands except against democrats ? w— — A ———— ABouT the biggest piece of fool legis. lation presented for the consideration of the legislature this term is the bill which aims to prohibit the removal of sand and gravel from the beds of navigable streams, and place the right in the hands of machine heelers, a la, the franchise steals, coal under the river! bed steals, etc. How long, oh Lord how long, shall these iniquities continue, and the people look on with folded bands! THE nomination of Bird Book Warren for Dairy and Food Commissioner by Governor Pennypacker is a bad appoint. ment. This is notoriously the reward of a base and disreputable trick by which Warren, in the face of the action of the republicans of Chester county in favor of Attorney Genera! Elkin, bad himself substituted as a delegate to vote for Judge Pennypacker in the State Conven- | tion with L. Rhone's name on certificate | as, “‘attest.”’ Apart from this, his scan- dalous bird book transaction, for which | he was removed by Governor Hastings, | should bare been sufficient to debar him | from this or any other responsible posi- | tion in the state government. The! senate owes it to its dignity to reject him. | THR Strike Commission has made its report which has been favorably received | by the public us well as by the mivers, and the operators seem to find no fault with the report of the Commission. But the learned men who sat patiently and heard the case of both sides, made some suggestions as to leyislation that should be enacted to meet such troubles in the future and prevent strikes. The legisla- tion suggested would be just, but it seems the machine, which bosses every. thing that is done at Harrisburg, has not yet 1ssed its orders from Washington or Florida as to what the Pennsylvania legislature shall do in the matter. The most the machine has been doing in the past ten years has been to fool the miners with platform promises that have never been redeemed, 50 as to draw the wool over the eyes of the complaining miners until election time. Nothing will be done to help the miners, becanse the machive bosses fear the mine operators ~in other words, the coal trust—who have wronged the public as well as the men in their employ. These coal lords have the bosses in their employ and pay, to not do anything that will curb them in their impositions upon the miners and consumers, This accounts for the indif. ference of the machine legislature to the wholesome suggestions of the eminent gentlemen who composed the strike Comm mission, | on Saturday. | fll the vacanoy. | ed to relinquish his post ob account of his | ure, | “t must be confessed they donot for some {of $50 a month.

We know the story goes, that Mr. Kimport leaves the office, and goes to the farm because of poor health. That may do for an excuse, but the truth is he Jeaves because of the poverty of his pay. He was expected to do all the work of the office, except sit in the library room during court week and bere laugh in a truckling way, atthe jokes and stories of the lawyers for the magnificent sum business concern having a clerk as efficient, ac- commodating, obliging, and honest as Mr. Kimport, would have for a moment, thought of paying him less than $100 a month, and if that could not bold him he would have been paid more, The qualifications of Mr. Kimport, his kindly disposition, his strict adherence to duty, his capacity to do everything entrusted to him in the way it should be done, the implicit faith the members of the bar had in him should and would have influenced his retention, as clerk in the Prothonotary’s office had the present Prothonotary any desire to really ac. commodate the public, or treat the man as be should have been treated.

NEW PENSION LAW, The following act to increase the pen- sions of those who lost limbs in the ser- vice became a law on March 2 “That from and after the passage of this act, all persons on the pension roll, and all persons hereafter granted a pension, who, while in the military or naval service of the United States and in the line of duty, sball have lost ome hand or one foot, or been totally disabled in the same, shall receive a pension at the rate of §40 per month; that all per sons, who in like manser, shall have lost an arm at or above the elbow, ora leg at or above the knee, or been totally disabled in the same, shall receive a pension at the rate of $46 per month; that all persons, who in like manner, shall have lost an arm at the shoulder joint, or so near the shoulder or hip joint or where the same is im such con- dition as to prevent the use of an artifi- cial limb, shall receive a pension at the rate of $55 per month, and that all per sous, who in hike manner, shall have lost one foot, or have been totally dis abled in the same, shall receive a pen- sion at the rate of $60 per month; and that all persons, who in like manner, shall have lost both feet, shall receive a pension at the rate of fio0 per month: Provided, however, that this act shall not be so construed as to reduce any pension under any act, public or private.” Leaves the Ring Unopposed. “Is it true that you are no longer a | candidate for the nomination for State | Treasurer 7’ was asked Auditor General Hardenbergh. “It is correct,” said Mr. | Hardenbergh: “I am absolutely out of | the race. [I will not aspire for any office | this year. My name will not go before | the convention." This leaves a clear field for W. 8S. | Mathues, of Delaware, who has been | slated for the nomination for State | Treasurer, and as Senator Savder, of Chester, has no opposition for the nomi nation for Auditor General, there prom. ises to be harmony. This is what led Col. Chambers to withdraw as a candi. date for delegate to the republican state convention Hardenbergh got no notice from Florida he must not run for State Treasurer, Gov. PRENYPACKER on Monday vetoed the following pension bills: Granting a pension to Charles Huyett, of company 1, Twentieth regiment, Pennsylvania volunteers. Granting a son to Charles RE. Knox, of Philadelphia, late of Independ. ent regiment, Pennsylvania volunteer cavalry, Granting a pension to Thomas W. Young, of Manor township, Armstron county, late of company H, Pifty-fourth regiment, Pennsylvania volunteer in. fantry, We donot find fault with this Jaction of the governor, but simply say that if a democratic governor had done it, the old hypocritical bowl of “enemy of the soldier” would have been sounded by the machine journals and orators, ~We hare Walk over shoes in all shapes and all kinds of leather, $3.50 and $4.

Upon the death of any member of the family the agent said the league would pay Mrs. Bratton $100. He also collected money in the same way in other towns in the vicinity of Tyrone telling his victims, that the receipt could be cashed at the Tyrone postoffice at any time. Several such receipts have been presented at the postoffice there, but of course they are of no value, THREE GOOD STORIES.

Finally one asked him : “Did dear old Aunt Ann seem willing to go?’ “Hell!” said the fellow, “She had to go!” Pat was a worthless Confederate sold. jer and had obtained furloughs from the Colonel twice, He approached the Col. onel again one day and said : ‘Colonel, I have a letter from my wife, who is seriously sick ; the children are crying for bread and the feuces are all down ; I want a furlough.’ The Colonel had made up his mind that he would not let Pat off again, so he said: ‘Pat, I also have a letter from your wife. She says not to allow you any more furloughs. She says you eat up what little they have when you come ; you beat the children and sell off the stock for whisky money. I will not let you off.” ‘Well, Colonel, if I should express myself freely you would not send me to the guardhouse ?’ ‘No,’ said the Colonel, ‘vou may say what you desire.’ ‘Well,’ said Pat, ‘there are two of the biggest liars on the | earth in this tent, in my life I never was marrie A man bought a load of hay from a farmer, who was to deliver it a few days shortly thereafter.
