urge and advise United opposition'
on the part of all Republican Sena

known as the' " Wood. Tariff Bill."
And believing that the, agitation of
any question to free trade:is
at this trine especcially injurious to

tion on the'yart of all friends of pro

hers Was pronounced in favor Of an
early State Convention, and no op
position was expressed to the date
finally named except by the repre
sentatives:from several counties that
will be infiAvenienced in the

eral sentiment that the Republican
Party should , prosecute an active,

taking this position we' believe the

EXPOSURE OF THE ItIEEII.Ir 1110T0111.
SM. J. B . Kprtawr, secretarif the
Franklin Institute, in Philadelphia, a,
well-known • scientific engineer, has
just finished an examination of the.
XEELY motor, extending over a peri
od of five months. He says that the
gagueg registered apparently' 11,000
pounds to the square inch, ;hut ,he
has reason to suspect that they were
altered. He holds•that the.maehitery
is made large , and massive for the pur
pose of misl eading those who care to
view it and every one else,' and that
.there is no occasion;for:it. He con
tinues , _
" I had been promised a sample of
the ‘vapoiV and while the engine was
unning on , the 4th of_ Novemberi I
filled a bottle from the exhaust pipe.
Mr.'eely had prepared a strong iron
yea with a' stop-cock, which l
then charged .with 'vapor' under a
pressure, hick bee mphaticly declar
ed
as onl
thousand two hundred
pounds to t s quare inch, that being
the reading of e gague on the sphere.
Instead of taking it from the multi
plication, however or even from the
brass sphere to whi h the gague was
attached, he led ato rom the sphere
to\a receiver attached t his so-called
'vaporic' gun, a machin to which
our attention had not heretofore been
direeted, and which we had no oppor
tunity t o examine, and in this indi
rect way Charged _the tube. - These
samples of Mr Keely's ‘vapOr' were
at once submitted to C. M. Cresson,
M. D. the well know chemist, for a
careful analysis. \By his report i t
was seen that his sn-called 'vapory
nothing but atmospheric air, and that
the pressure in the tube \was only 225
pounds instead of the 1;21:113 pounds
claimed." \ .
Mr. KNIGHT, in, conclusion,says that
the machine 'is a swindle, and. \ that
e
the so-called ivapoe t is nothing more
than atmospheric air.
BUILDING' Associations have grown
to be a • disturbing eleinent in our
State Legislature,.and every session
more or less of the time is occupied
in• discussing these organizations. It
is also vetir ,noticeable that . there is
an evident disposition to look with
disfavor upon their operations,
legislative 'detrimental to the share
holders. may be looked for at no dis;
tint, day. Many stockholders taking
this view of the . subjectare withdraw
ing their hinds.
: The following is
the synopsis of a bill which haS „just
passed the Senate'. It will be seen
that it reduces the fines for non-pay

per month :

a borrower repays a loan he is .to

ed in the by-laws, provided the socie
ty shall not. retain more than one
oiie-hundreth of the premium deduc
ted froffi his loan for each calendar
month that he has used the • borrow , •
ed money. Settlements with de
faulting borrowers are made -on the
same terms. z • The "fines are limited
to two per,cent. per month. Married
woman are given the right to bor
row motley, securing it by mortga
ges on their separate real. estate, by
transferring stock, etc., providing
that her husland,joins in the mortgage
etc. They are empowered to with
draw or transfer shares of stock
without the . Consent- of their Lis
bands, and the shares of married wo
man are not liable for the debts of
their husbands. The other provi
sions of the act are unimportant. They
declare - that societies shall not be
subject to the bongs or tax on capi
tal stock required of other corpora
tions. [This is the bonus which
Attorney General LEAR attempted
but failed to, •eollect.] It also pro
- vides for the' acceptance of the act
by-existing societies, and repeals law
inconsistent with its provisions.
A telegram from' St. Louis to the
Cincinnati Gazelle says that a letter
from ex-President GRANT, received
(m Fri a last by Judge JORN F.
LONG, of that ci y, contains some
allusion-to matters of interest. Re
ferring to newspaper reports of his
possible appearance again in the
political field. Gen. GRANT says
sueli newspapers know of soinething .
which he doe' not. "I have," he
" been under the impression
that I vas carrying ont'a long cher
ished desire to travel and see as much
of the Old World as possible before
settling down in a home where tqr
spend the remainder of my days in

desire to visit Austria Prusia, Rua
sia, Sweeden, Norway, and Denmark
before returning, sad asA do not
wish to Visit either of those . eTintries
until warm weather, it will probably
be October before I go back." 47i
dentally, Gen. GRANT referred to tir
repudiation bill called the " Silver
bill," which he 'feared would pass,
and which he thought should be:
promptly vetoed : otherwise, he hoped
its operation would fie defeated by
the businiss men making contracts'
requiring sums to be

TUE\ VANDER/nth' estate seems
still to be an unknown-quantity. In
the course,of the proceedings before
the Surrogate it was officially esti
mated at about sixty millions, while
subsequent:;evidence spoke' of it as
ninety millions by
personally/
and
fifty millions given personally / before
death to avoid the legal taxes, which
wouldmake a total of one hundred
and forty' millions. Other proceed
ings uniformly speak of the inheri
tance as ninety millions. Such an
estate can stand a good deal of law
expense, and thelawyers met on that
'opinion.
THE 1)111 of senator WALLACE,
deciamtOry of the meaning of the
amendmeeti to the Bankrivt . Law,
approved June 22, 1874, 'declares
that the true intent and meaning of
that amendment was that no pro.
ceedings should be entertained and
no adjudication made on and after
said 22d day of June, 1874, except
in such clues where the petition and
proceedilits were ip conformity with
the proceedin' gs of'said amendment.
,
HAS THE CIIERESET BEEN CON•
TELACTEH,
The staple argument of the Greew
backers is, the bold declaoration that
the currency has been contracted
since the close of the war .to the
,
amount of. $600,000,000; and this
statement is undoubtedly credited by
many', If it were literally true this
false assumption would hardly ac
count foithe " hard times" in view
of the fact that there is more money
lying Idle than at any time during
the past fifteen years. But the state
ment is do palpably incorrect that
many who make it\can hardly be
credited with commoncandor. The
following, clear and candid exposi
tion of the deception practiced by the
soft-money men, based on data from
official sources should be carefully
.studied - by all parties. The article
is copied from the Philadelphia Rec.\
ord, and its premises may be verified
reference to the report of the Comp
troller of the Currency.
Hon e gilliam H. Armstrong of Ly
comincr ,county, made a Greenback
speech at Wellsboro, Tioga county,
last week. He is prominently before
the people as the probable candidate.
of the GreenbaCk party for the nom
ination for GoVernor. Besides this
fact, his unsullied private reputation
and very high standing in the ranks
of the Republican party contribute
to give importance to his statements.
We find in the Wellsboro Agitator,
a very excellent Republican journal,
a condensed summary of Mr. Arm
:strong's speech, from which we gath-
Cr that be attributed the hard times
to the contraction of the currency,
and in order td maintain his position
read the following statement, which
he said he had carefully verified by
revision, and which he • declared rep
resented the volume of the circula
ting medium on the Ist of September
1865: United. States nptes, $433,1,60,
569; fractional curreNcy $26,344,-
- 742 ; national bank notes, $300,000,-
000), compound interestelegal-tender
n0te217,024,160 ; temporary loan
certificates, $107,148,713 ; certificates
of inde*dness, $83,093,000; Treas
ury 5 per cent. legal-tenders, $35,337,-
991 • Treasiiry notes past due (legal
tenders) not presented, $1,503,020;
State bank note $78,867,575 : three
year Treasury. - notes, $880,000,080;
total circulating •inedium, exclusive
of coin, September 15t, , 1865, $2,111;-
678,680. "He was willing to admit,"
says th 3 Agitator, "that the
notes amounting to $80,000,000,
were not currency in a popultkr sense
but the balance, of over $300„000,-
000, he maintained was riglitly reek
ed as currency, and he quoted fr):mi
the 'report of the Secretary of tlk
Treasury in 1863 to show that it was
called paper money. He thought it
was idle to say this was not all cur
rency. There has consequently
a contraction of not less than $600,-
000,000 since 1865, even leaving out
of view the 7.30 notes." We are
astonished at the hardihood of Mr.
Armstrong, at this late day, to sound
this Ohio fog -horn and expect the
people of P ennsylvania to believe
him. If has revised hisligures he
had better revise his. revision.' On
_page 60 of the last report. of the
Treasurer of the United States
will be found a statement of
United States currency out stand
ing at the close of the fiscal
years:lB62 to 1877 inclusive. The
accuracy of this statement Mr. .
Armstrong will not attempt to , deny.
If he will examine it he will find
that the whole amount of United
States curreney outstanding June 30,
1865, was $698,918,800.25. This in
cludes $242,346,640 . in one-year and
' two-year notes, and compound inter
estinotes, all 'bearing interest, and
therefore not currency,_ any more
- than Government bonds or railroad
bonds or individual notes are cur
rency. Deducting this amount we,
find that the actual volume of cur
rency of the United States was, at
OA end of the war, $456,572,160. On
ptip 208 of "message and Docu
ments" for 1876-7, in the report of
omptroller of the Currency, will be
found a table showing that the amount
of national bank circulation on or near
October Ist, 1895, was $171,321,903.
-Adding this to the the United
States currency, we have a grand
total of $627,864,063 as the whole
amount of the currency so near the
date given by Mr. Armstrong as to
be entirely pertinent in questioning
the correctness of his argument. So
much for the volume of currency in
1865. The "present total, , including
subsidiary silver, which lias been
substituted for fractional notes, is
about $724,300,000. Instead, there
fore, of a contraction of $600,000,-
. 000, as allerged 14, , 31r. Armstrong,
there hasbe_en.-an expansion of over
$96,000,000 since 1865. If he is
bound •to find the cause of hard times
in the fluctuation of - the volume of
currency, he must attribute it to too
much money and not to too little,
and he must not go about among
the Greenbackers with his corrected
table.

RAILROAD =OPIUM
',The following s which is of consid
erable interest in this locality, is fronl
the',Tiogit express : The railroad
now being surveyed f,om Minnequa
to the coalifields on Little Pine creek
twenty-five miles, is under the man;
agement of the Lyeonaing coal com
pany. Boston and Philadelphia cap
italists have 'united and promised the'
money for the, ecipstruction of this
road and the Aefrelopment of this
coal field. Mr. Potts, one of thelhief
thanagers in this enterprise , is - the
intimate friend a d` partner of Tom
Scott in a great many enterprises.
This road, is being built for the pur
pose of connecting witb\the Canton
and Binghamton road, Which it is
expected will be speedily constructed
within a year or two at farthsts; and
making this connection bringtithe
Lyeorning coal fields seventy-eight
miles nearer any, market for the same ,
kind of coal from Albany east. It
is also expected and proposed to con
tinue this same connection from Can
tcin west, going over some eighteen
miles of the proposed coal road, then
striking through by Wellsboro, up
Pine creek to Kettle creek, thence
to the mouth of the Sinnemahoning,
there to connect with the low, grade
Portage road, thus making direct
.connection from Boston to' Pittsburg
and Chicago, via Albany, Bingham
ton, Towanola ' Canton, thence via
Wellsboro to Pittsburg, shortening
the rail connection , between Boston
to Pittsburg 135 miles. Also, a new
road is proposed making connection
from Pittsburg 'to
.Chicago, shorten
ing the route 60 miles between these

'others, and with the view' of confer

port states that the - bankers'were 'of
the opinion that resumption 'a. the

only consistent with the public wel
fare, but as of the
, greatest impor

country; also \ that resumption bn.the
1 st•of

practiable and safe if ackquate. meas
ures should be adopted ; but all who
express themselven . the subject
were agreed that the. plans -of the
Secretary' of the Treasury were inall
equate; and that if lie should make
an attempt to resume on the Ist of
January under such circumstances
as were likely to exist at that\time,
the attempt would most
,prohably
fail. They were of, opinion,
that the remondizatio&of silver had ,
seriously interfered-with the .proba

he went, to the chief of the bureau,
overcome with grief, and said he did

REPIBLIOAN SENATORS IN (LOOM
WASIIINOTON, March 30.—The Re
publican Senators held a caucus to
day, about the proceedings of which
they are unusually reticent. All of
them' insist that nothing of any im
portance or public interest was eon
sideredond that no action was taken.
The fact that they all' refuse to say
anything whatever about the purpose
of the caucus or its proceedings in
dicates that it was of more importance
than ,they are willing to admit. It is
understood that--the differences be
tween the ?resident and a portion of
the Republican lenders were discuss
ed with a view - of determining , a
cousse Of act t ion to be pursued in this
regard. The caucus was not largely
Attended, and continued its session
only for an hour.
