Another fight has taken place between our troops and the Modocs. There ap pears to have been a perfect surprise to the offiern in command and they led the men Into a trap where 49 out of C9 making the attack w re either killed or wounded There is a probability that there will be a general Indian war, as many of the tribes are getting troublesome General Garfield has put this ' poser' to tlio Republican Convention of Wan-en ouuty, Ohio, which by a resolution, called on him to resign, for bis vote on the Salary grab. Ho asks thein : " If the delegates boliove the retroactive salary clause is so infamous that I ought to resign for voting for the Appropriation bill to which it was attached, will thoy follow out their logic and insist that the President ought to re sign for signing it ? My vote did not make it a law. His signature did." It was with much pleasure that ' we no ticed when last in Philadelphia, that the increase of Messrs. Collins & McLeester, business had compelled them to add largely to their facilities, for casting type. We know of no firm who is belter enti tled to success, as they are not only prompt and obliging in their dealings, but they furnish their customers with a quality of type wh ich is sure to give satisfaction. We recommend those who have not already dealt with them, to visit 705 Jayne .street and give Messrs. Collins & McLeester trial. SEFOEM. It is well known to very intelligent voter, that there is something wrong in the man ner in which candidates are nominated and elected to oflico, by the political parties of the day. This knowledge has induced many to throw aside party proclivities and make an effort to bring about a reformation of the body politic. The whole catalogue of cor ruption in whatever shape, is to be discard ed, and give those persons elected, to oflico to understand that they are merely the tertants or agent of the people and nothing more. But in order to accomplish this re sult it is necessary to commence at the right place and in the right way. If the source of a stream is muddy it cannot be expected to send forth clear water : so if voters allow themselves to be bought and sold at the polls for money or any other valuable consideration, they have no right to complain of the bad conduct of those elected to office by dishonest means. If man must buy his nomination and election, as a general rule, he expects to receive bis salary and make bis election expenses besides. If this reformation be accom plished however, the old standard will be revived. Is he honest, is be capable? Now it is, "has ho money, is bo available?" The timo was when the terms politician and statesman meant the same ; but now the former signifies a successful wire puller, one who will resort to any means, honest or dislioncbt, to obtuiu bis election, and afterwards reimburse biinsolf and friends out of the publio treasury. The latter torm is so seldom seen in the publio prints and so seldom applied to men in office at present, Unit it has almost become obsolete Why is it, that it is almost impogsiblo to obtain a verdict against some of the most notorious political scoundrels in tlifa United States? simply because it is almost impos sible to select a jury without finding out afterwards, that, some of them were tarred with tho same stick, though prob ably in a less degree The question naturally arises, how can those things be remedied ? We answer educate the masses of the people up to a higher standard of intelligence and morality. We mean that 'morality taught in the Bible, so that men will do right because it it right. t3T Fears of another riot at Platten burgh, N. J., are entertained. A Jargi number of Swedes and Italians have been , put to work upon the railroad who have incurred the animosity of the workmen formerly employed. Murmurings were beard on both sides, and both parties are said to be beuvily armed. llll I II L II HL' ' "T ". SCHOOL BOOKS.-' - ' Every person who has children to send to school is preparod to certify that the frequent changes lu school books is becom ing an intolerable nuisance. : Persons who can not afford the expense, are often re quired to purchase a series of books for their children, while the ones they are us ing are searoely soiled, just to satisfy the peculiar notions of some one in authority, or to help some one make a little commis sion. In reference to this subjoct the Philadelphia evening tllar makes the fol lowing sensible remarks : It is now charged that the merit of a school book has nothing to do with its in troduction. New books of this character are forced upon the public precisely as is a great amount of special and monopolizing legislation by the aid of the almighty dol lar. Those familiar with the tactics of large school book publishing bouses were long since aware of this discreditable fact. It is said there have been thousands and tens of thousands of standard school books thrown aside in this city in order to make way for newer ones published by houses who understand the secret of manipulating educational boards. Outraged and Murdered. -Pittsburg, April 29. A girl named Liz zie Ness was brutally outraged and mur dered yesterday afternoon in a grove near Saltsburg, fourteen miles from bore.

The Legislature at the recent session passed an important law regarding the sale of coal oil. It is important that people know the law and enforce it. Tho follow ing extracts show the provisions of the law : It forbids the salo of auy product of pe troleum to be used in lamps for burning, of a lower fire test than 110 degrees. This completely shuts out all the patent fluids, mado from benzine or gasoline, except so far as they are used in the manufacture of gas, and burned through pipes like ordi nary gas. - It provides that all oil sold for use in this State shall be inspected by a regularly appointed inspector, and that every barrel or pack ago shall be branded as follows: " State of Pennsylvania, Fire Test, One Hundred and ten Degrees," with the name of the inspector. If however, the oil is better than 110, it shall be so marked. All barrels which have contained oil, ruuBt have the inspector's brand removed. before they are sold or refilled. Any oil found in the bands of a retail dealer, which bas been fraudulently brand ed, or bas been adulterated, or not coming up to the test of 110, is liable to seizure. Any violation of this law is followed by a fine of not less than two hundred and fifty dollars, or impolsonment not less than one year, or both. And any person sustaining damage to property or person by reason of the use of oil not up to the legal test, can collect damage of tho party who sold the oil. It will be seen that the provisions of this Act are very strict and its penalties very severe. It is to be hoped that every dealer will use bis best endeavor to have the law fully enforced.
