The Revenue bill utill hangs fire be

taxing manufacturing corporations and
limited partnerships. The question in
one of policy, the Senate opposing the
measure on the ground of fostering and
encouraging manufactures of all sorts,
while taxation might drive them from
the State, but the llousi "insists that
taxation should be equal, and that they
hould hear their projiortionate share.

taxed three mills, one-half of which is to
lie returned to the counties, this sum
added to four-fifths of the amounts to be
received from High License, will enable
County Commissioners to reduce the tax

the burdens of the general taxpayers will
be much reduced.

perfect, and the constitutional cavillers
will file a goodly numlier of objections to
it, but it has been carefully prepared and
was fully discussed, and is the best that
could be evolved out of the many plans
and schemes, offered by friend and foe.
The purpose of the law is well know n. It
is not exjiecUHl to prove a jMimicea for all
the evils of the liquor tratlic, but it is in
tended to correct many of the ills com
plained of. No law yet comvived, has
been able to prohibit or prevent the evils
of intemperance, but if t his one does not
correct many of the evils know n to exist
in the liquor trthe, no legal measure ever
will. Let usall airree to irive it a fair trial
and carefully watch and note the results
for future reference. The full text of the
law will le found in another column.

the common grief of these magnanimous

to American greatness: and thus to-day in
its symmetry and lieauty it jresents of a
brotherhood redn-nied, and a token of a na-
j lion restored.
Monumeiits and statues multiply through-
i out the laud, fittingly illustrative ofthe love

. But from this ilay forth there shall stain:

j challenge adinir.iti.ni in American character
loving tenderness in every domestic relation
j bravery on the field of battle, fame and dis-
tinction in our halls of legislation, and the
highest honor and dignity in the Chief Mag
istracy ofthe nation.
This stately effigy shall not fail to tcuch
every beholder tliat the source of American
greatness is confined to no condition, norde-s-ndeiit
alone lor its growth and develop
incut upon favorable sumuiudings. The
genius of our national life lieckoiui to useful

Nor can we forget that it also teaehi-s our
eopie a sad and distressing Irasou : and the
thoughtful citizen who views its fair pnr-
tioiis cannot fail to recall the tragedy of
licuth which brought grief and mourning to
ever)- household in the land. But while
American citizenship stands aghast and af
frighted that murder and assassination
should lurk in tlie midst of a five jieopleand
strike down the head of their government, a
feariess snared and the discovery of the origin
and hiding place of these hateful and un
natural things should he followed by a sol

government the jsrrversioiis ami misconcep

If from this hour onr admiration for the
bravery and nobility of American nmnhood
and our faith in the jioKsihiiities and opsir

if our appreciation of the blessing of a re

not lie in vain.
During the delivery of his address the

The Fish Laws.
The following information is gleaned from
the laws governing game and game fish :
Sumlay Ashing and hunting are offenses
punishable by fci" fine.
Trout fishing is legal from the l.'ith of
April to the 15th of July, but only with rod,
line and hook.
Bass, pike and other game fish can be
caught from the first of June to the end of
the year but with rod, line and hook only.
Set the fyke nets (the latter a small hoop
net) can lie legally fished with in March,
April and May, ami in Septemlier, (.h-toher
and Novem'uer, but must be placed in the
oien stream, and not under a dam, wing.
wall or femie ot any kind. Any game fish
caught and retained renders the jiarly liable
to the fine. Nets (bund in the water from
June 1st to September 1st can be takeu up by
any one, their contents put back into the
water, and the net or nets held until the
owner calls for it or them.
Dip nets for catching bait are legal, and lar
ger dip nets for surkers, Ac., are tolerated so
long as their use is not abused.
The only long nets recognired by law are
set nets as stated above, dip nets for catch
ing bait and for catching fish to stock other
waters.
Outline fishermen who raise their lines do
so fiir tlie purpose of catching bass and other
game fish, and are liable to the fine for bo
catching them.
Nets and outlines have no business in the
waters on Sundays. They come under the
law of. Sunday fishing, and the owner is lia
ble to the fine of $25.
laying up new or repairing old fish dams
Is ilk-gal under a heavy fine. There are oth
er violations which the laws condemn, so
well known that they need not be referred to.
It is unlawful to kill web-footed wild fowls
luch as geese, ducks, Ac, between May 1st
and September 1st.
The National Drill and Encamp
ment at Washington.
The National Prill tuid Kncampment,
which opens in Washington May 'U, con
tinuing until the 30th, will be one of the
most interesting events that ever occurred in
the history of America's militia. Its incep
tion was the outgrowth of that general desire
to make the volunteer military of the several
States more cfl'oetive, and as a step in that
direction this competitive contest was ar
ranged, and valuable prizes of cash, medals
and trophies, offered as rewards for excel
lence in drill. Washington was very appro
prialcly selected as the plnee ; the citiaeus re
sponded liliemlly, the War Dertiiient lent
its aid, and the success ofthe enterprise is
assured beyond any possibility of doubt.
fiver thirty ofthe Slates and Territories will
be represented by military organizations, and
theilally contests, embracing nil the branch
es of military service from the manual of
arms to brigade drill, will Is' intensely inter
esting to every one. The cash prizes amount
to fiU.-VW. The camp will lie pitched on the
grounds surrounding the Washington Mon
ument, and the drill ground will tie marked
out on the campus between the Monument
and the White House.
The universal interest which will be felt in
the drill in all parts of the country, and the
excellent opportunity it will afford for visit-
iting the National Capital at the most beau
tiful season ofthe year, will draw thousands
to Washington. The city, noted as the most
beautiful capital of the world, never appears
i to so good an advantage as iu the first blush
of spring, nor is there any pleasaiiter time to
visit the parks, ganlen, and public buildings
than this. All the public projierty is open
to the inspection of visitors.
In order to accommodate visitors the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company will sell excur
sion tickets, May L'lst to 27th, good to re
turn until the .'Kith, from all .stations on iu
lines, at reduced rates. In addition sjiecial
trains at Hjiccia! rates will ls run on certain
days from various sections of the Pennsylva
nia system, the details of which will lie an-
' iiounced by posters and published iu the
I liewsaHTS.
How's
Your Liver?
Is the Oriental Habitation,
knowing that good health
cannot exist - without a
healthy Liver. Wnen the
Liver is torpid the Roweltt
are sluggish and constipated,
the fi m k! lies in the stomach
undigested, jsuViniiig the
blood ; frequent lieadiudie
ensues; a fading of lassi
tude, desjiondt'ncy anT ner
vousness indicate how the
whole system is deranged.
Simmons Liver Regulator
has been the means of re
storing more people to
health and happiness by giv
ing them a healthy Liver
than any agency known on
earth. It acts with extraor
dinary power and etlicacy.
EVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED.
As a general family remedy for Dysjiepsia.
Torpid Liver, VuistiialHin, etc., I hardly
ever use anything else, and have never been
disapoiutcl in the elici t pnslutxHl; itsceins
