Porter. The census of Louisiana, taken
by her State ofliciuls, shows a population

wrong, but, notwithstanding, Mr. Gould

on the deprewd market.

is unbounded. Since tbe election be has
demonstrated that his tongue is hung in

A correspondent of the New York Vrru
tugiP-Kt that tbe following severe lesson
tie tried upon workingmen who voted
the I)emocratic ticket :
lyt the Republican not oppose any
bill that t!i Democrats may frame. Help
them to make a tariff law of their own
as near to free trade as pcwible ; allow
them to repeal tbe McKinley tariff. The
xequenccs in the next two rears would
be tbe closing op of half the factories in
the country. This would bring idleness
nd miserr t many of three now cele
brating the defeat of the Republican
(tarty. You may think this cruel, but as
men only learn by experience, the lesson
rill teach thetu how to vote, and will
swwure the greatest Republican victory of
t tbe oeotiwT in lsmi."
Tw o years ago the Democrats and Mug
Wioaed Jfr. Cleveland in de

rotnUned efforts were to devise some

fh earoe people are howling alout the
Isankrtiptey of tli Treasury," and the
New York IUtuM is trying to create a
rwnsation by claiming that there is not
enough money te par tbe pensionH. The
IVtuocrsts are aisnply paying a compli
ment to the ability f the Republicans
to do what tbey coW not do. The Re
publican party tot charge ol the gov

Tnit IVmocratic press is very busy
nowadays thundering denunciations
against lije census taken in June last,
sod charging that it was fraudulent and
cooked op for political purposes. The
evident object of this outcry is to impair
confidence in the reported enumeration
of the population, and thus create an
excuse fdT resisting Congressional appor
tionment the coming winter, and, if
possible, throw that work into the bands
of the next Congress, which, with it
one hundred and fifty of a Democratic
majority, could exercise its own sweet
will in such a manner as to perpetuate
Democratic control of that body for the
next decade. To obtain a perfectly ex
act ennrneration of the population in any
large, city m an impossibility, but that
the late census was as fairly Uken as any
previous one there is no good reason to
doubt.
V are having a deal of newspaper
talk about a coalition between the
Knights of Labor and the Farmers' Alli
ance for the purpose of controlling gov
ermental affairs. A coalition of this
kind would equal the metaphor of "the
lion and the lamb lying down together,"
irc'lA tftt Uirnii in the ion's domnch.
It is well known ti.at for some time
the Kuihtsof Labor have been quietly
using their best efforts to bring about an
organisation among farm employes, for
the purpose of enlisting them in an effort
to secure better wages and shorter hour
of work. The agriculturist, they aay,
are the hardest worked and poorest paid
wage workers in the country, and if they
will combine and exert their power they
will comtel toinplisice with their de
mands. If this combination is brought about,
the Farmers' Alliam-e will find that they
have taken into their camp a Trojan
horse, within whose interior a powerful
enemy is concealed ; for while they are
hoping to enlanre tbeir organization and
increase their influence by a coalition
with the Knights, the latter fuel eertaia
that one? in coaliti n w ith the farm la
borers allied agniiiBt the finnera who
employ them, and who constitute the
Alliance, it will only be a question or
time when the Knights will absorb the
farmers and control the combination.

The Republican Party "O.K."
From Tiie Xew-York Sun i lcm.)
There are KepubPeans enough in all the
Republican States ttist went Democratic
this year to elect the Republican ticket, but
half of them stayed away from the poll.
The special cause that worked against the
Republicans in some of the States will not
be in the way in the national camaign.
The arliool question wilt Dot be reoeiied in
Wircon-in. Tbe Michigan Republicans will
not report tbe xierinient of bandicspping
thenilves with unpopular candidates. The
various independent movements that have
risen at the expense of the Republican pir-
ty will dwindle. Tlie Rpublicjna do a go'd

Who Says Blaine Is too Old ?
From the Nfvr York Sjn.
A bmry contemporary of the very far
West ha put in type its vain notion that
Mr. (Maine is too far advanced in lif to be
nunf a candidate for President of the United
Sia'es. S'jw we ourselves stand up for young
luenatidntw idraa as well as for mature
aae and tried truth. Give everybody a
fair ahow in tiv or lit, front tbe time of his
appearance til! thai of his disappearance.
Mr. Blaine is not yet 01 years of age, and is
in tbe full vigor of lib-, trim as a Spanish
galleon when under rvview. The first I'resi
dent of the T'lited Htaii-n was in the TiStb
year of hi a when Ht-ed to that office,
and four vears older when rlected for the
second lime ; the M-cotid Prt-S'dent was ill his
(H yt-ar at the time of his riit election and
in his Hh at the time of hia second ; the
third President came lo i-nV at about the
same age as the first : and if we were lo run
down ihe line of il eir nwors till the
present lime, e would find several of them
who were oW when elected than Mr. Blaine
now is, the seventh l'reiJent. for exsmple,
and tbe fifteenth, not to fieak of others.
It is well for ihe adversaries of Mr. Blaine
to bear in mind that he cannot yet be count
ed out on account of hi years.
How Pennsylvania Farms Are) Tax-
eo.
For the purpose of giving correct data In
relation to the taxation ol farms in the Slate,
Secretary I-d-e, of tbe Slate Board of Agri
culture, baa obtained the returns from a
large number of farms situated in 47 coun
ties. These returns show tbe actual value
of tbe farms at the present time and the
amount of tax paid on each. A' a result it
is found ttiat farms now worth $-',Mi,73 are
paying a tax to the amount $-'7,074 each
year.
It has alto been found that on an average
the tax duplicate contains personal property
to tbe amount of l' xr cent, of the actual
value of the farm ; this amount of tax, there
fore, lepreatmu not only the vsiuo of tbe
farm but also that of tbe personal property
taxed with the farm. It therefore follows
that tbe lax ol $.7,074 is levied upon $.2,133.-t)-t!lwiriii
of property, real and personal.
This indicates a Ux ol tf.G'i. If the amount
stated as Ux is charged against tbe real
estatealone.it indicates atax rate of 9.5ni ills.
Tbe miuimam ot taxation on farm prop
erty appears to bsve be in reached in North
umberland by a tax rate of 5 4ii mills, and
tbe maximum in Suequebsnna, with a tax
rate of 19.12 mills on the present value of
farms. The returns show that tbe average
value of tbe farms is $7,GtiU, and tbeir avei
age Ux $73.77. It was fuuud that while
some counties levy the Ux upon an asesed
value of less than one third the real value,
others levy upon an assessed value fully
equal to tbe value of the farm if placed in
tbe market at tbe preaeut time, thus show
ing conclusively tint tbe assessed value is
no guide as to the rate of taxation.
Tbe returns further show that the taxa
tion of H and KN) is above the average of
tiie past 10 yearn, and that tbis excess is due
to the injury done lo J I roads and bridges
by tbe floods of last year. lo some torn
ships from this cause aloue tbe road tax was
doubled; in others tbe addition has been
from to 73 per cent. Borne townships In
Susquehanna county report a Ux levy of 55
mills on the assessed value, which, however
is bol one third offte real salne.

What th Frmn' Alliance will do
In that Contest.
The important part taken in the recent
political campaign in South Carolina, Geor
gia, Tennessee, Iowa, Kansas, Mioneasota,
Illinois and Nebraska, and the fact that the
naming of independent candidates or the en
dorsement of those already name by lb
minority party for Congress reached in an
unexpected turning over in many dirtricta,
hasdirected attention to the organisation with
a view to ascertaining something of its pur
pose for the future and the part it Is likely
lo play in the next Presidential contort.
Secretary Kittenhouse, of the National Al
liance, was Interviewed at the headquarters
of the organization In Washington a few days
since, when be made the following reply to
a leading interrogation :
-What will the alliance do In 18s2?nask
ed the reporter.
"It will not then fight within Democratic
and Republican party lines, as it baa been
forced to do this year, it is not a side show
lor either party. There is yet plenty of
time to talk about candidates, but the is
sue will be currency reform. It was the de
sire to relieve the stringency of money that
actuated the farmers in their votes. Tbey
held the Republican party responsible, and
swept it out of power. This issue had more
to do with the result than the McKinley
bill. I know this because hundreds of letters
received daily from the alliances give me
facts direct from the people.
We want $4 0,000.000 added to tbe
amount now In circulation. That is just $8
more per capita. A letter which I jut re
ceived from Secretary Windom shows that
the amount of money per capita in this
country is $-'2, while in France it is $57. In
England it is $22, and in Germany $.
France is the most prosperous nstion In
Europe, and this country will once again
experience the 'good old times' when we get
more money in circulation. We are not
greenback inflationists. We do not ask an
irredeemable currency, and besides this, the
Greenbackers failed because tbey could get
millions in tbe Treasury and not a cent out
of it.
"This currency reform is to be the Issue of
the next campaign, and if James O. Blaine
will speak as bravely for an increased cur
rency as he did for reciprocity and a lower
tariff on the necessaries of life, he will be an
exceedingly papular mvi, in in 1 S3 J, and
be will meet with no nnkmdness at tue
hands of the Farmers Alliance.
The) Fifty Second ConfcTreae.
The roll of the new Congress will be msde
no as the certificates, which are issued after
the official count is submitted to the proper
certifying officer in each Bute, are received.
It is not expected, however, that tbe resulU
will differ materially from the figures al
ready publicly announced, and Clerk Mc
pherson will call tbe roll of members upon
the assembling of he Fifty Second Congress
with more n trues unknown to national leg
islation, public service, than has ever been
known in the history of the law making arm
of tbe Government.
There are more solid Democratic delega
tions thsn has ever existed in the House.
In the list are Alabama, Arkansas, Conneti
cut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana,
Nebraska, Sew Hampshire, Texas, Virginis,
(claimed) and West Virginia (claimed), mak
ine sixteen out of fourty-four States. To
this list may be added Indiana, Kentucky,
Minnesota, VIorth Carolina, Rhode Island
and South Carolina with but one Republican
member in each delegation.
Tbe semi official list kept in tbe clerk
office shows the following footings, counting
the Farmers Alliance members elect with
the perty of their antecedenU ;
Democrats 238
Republicans .i - - 93

Notwithstanding this enormous majority,
the experienced men of tbe party do not re
gard it as a special subject of elation, as the
next turn is more than likely to go to the
other extreme.
The presidential year is a bad time for
Democrats. Tbe people may chastise tbeir
leaders when nothing is at sUke, bat when
tbe welfare of tbe oountry is involved tbey
have no use for Democrats or tbeir meth
ods. Alleged Indian War.
Tbe prospect for an Indian war seems poor,
notwithstanding telegraphic Information of
a battle on Thursday. Tbe sensational re
ports of "special correspondenU on tbe spot"
must be taken with tbe full lawful grain of
salt perhaps more. The town of Mandan,
N. V , which appears to be the centre of
newspaper activity, while it ia the nearest
telegraphic point to tbe scene of the excite
ment at the Standing Rock Agency, is really
many miles disUtit.'
Autborative reports from tbe plains to the
War Department sUle that sixteen different
tribes, widely separated and comprising a
large part of tbe aboriginal population, are
agitated by cunning reporta that in tbe near
future there shall appear to them a Messisb,
wbo will bury tbeir white opponenU deep
in tbe earth, bring bsck all tbe Iudian dtad
to occupy the room made vacant by tbe ex
termination of their enemies, restore in
enormous herds the buffaloes, the antelopes
and the W ild bones to their bunting grounds
nd that the Indians will again be masters of
the oountry, as they were before the whites
Cqi front over the sea to dispossess them
of iU
This present agitatiug among the Indiana
is iu large part the work of willful niitcbief
makers. It is stated by impostors, or by
self excited fanstica, wbo arise among tbe
Indians at times as tbey do among ourselves
and iu all civilized countries.
Beyond all doubt, too, a great deal of
w hat we are hearing now are the fabrications
coming from traders, laud-grabbers and oth
er speculators and peculators of the kind
that abound on tbe frontier; and it is quite
probable that if there were no such men
within easy reach of tbe reservations, camps
and settlements, tbe agitation would soon
run its course and die out.
Tha Origin of tha Bucktalla.
Seren cities contended fjr tbe honor of
being the birthplace of Homer. About that
number of men claim the honor of originat
ing tbe use of the buck's tail on tbe caps of
these famous soldiers. ;At th reunion in
WelUboro last week tht matter was brought
Up, Ws quote from thef0
Col. 8. D. Freeman, of Smeth port, wbo was
the first surgeon tbe'BeckUils, says tbat
several erroneous staUmenU bar been pub
lished regarding'tbe origin of the use of tbe
buck's tail as a symbol fjr tbe regiment.
He says tbat after tbe enlistment of the regi
ment in 131 CapUin W. T. Blanchard, of
company I, and Colonel Kane were discuss
ing tbe question on the streets in 8roeth
port, McKean county. A large deer was
hanging out in front of a market opposite
the public square. Blanchard notice-1 it
and said, 'Why not Uke a buck Uil t Kane
replied, 'That's just the the tiling V Tbey
went over and cut tbe Uil off Ibat deer and
the bide was cut into small pieces sa l put
on the soldier's hats. Tbe first man to wear
tbe buck Uil was James Ltndracan of Kane.
I aUendtd tbe re union last week."
Hunter and Farmere.
Buns Falw, Pa., Nor. 23. Word has
been received here that a party of five hun
ters, who were trespassing upon the farm of
Mr. Coburg, a few miles east of this place,
enauacked by Mr. Coburg, hi tour sons
and several neighbors. The farmer had
stub sad stones, while the hnnters hsd
their guns, which tbsf did Rot attempt to
use only a club antll en of tbeir number
was knocked down and beaten Insensible.
Then they fired, and at tbe first volley old
rosn Coburg fell, filled with bird shot, while
tbe others ran. Coburg is seriously injured
while serers! of his neighbors ere slightly
wounded. Tbe hunters were badly used up
also.
Our Improvad Postal Service).
Tbe ami 1 a. report f ihe Puatmae'rr Gen
eral, Just auuiniiux! to tbe I'resi Jen t makis a
splendid exhibit of the work done by th's
derailment during tbe past year. It is not
toe much lossy that no single year baa ever
shown a greater improvement in tbe pntUl
service. A new series nf sumps has been is
sued. New contracts f ir stsmped envelopes
have been made, by which a saving of $4t,.
000 has been effected. Washington City is o
basw e new pnstonVw buddinav etteps have
been taken tnwsnl Ihe establishment of
postoffl.w at see. Tbe free delivery system
has been established In many small towns
and country places. Lottery business has
been excluded from the mails. TbeetHcien
ry of the railwsy pnstsl service, under Su
perintendent Bell, and such aasistanU as Mr.
R. C Jackson, the etfiaHsrit superintendent
of tbis district, ha keen greatly improved.
New postal facilities have been provided in
many places, more than lG VtOOCK) miles
having been added 10 tbe 'ervice in tbe es
tablishment of new routes 'wnd theexpedit
Ing old one. More new poetofTices have
been establif'.ed than in any f rmer year. -
Tbe taosl wonderful thing nf alt is that all
these great improvements base been made
without a cent of additional cost. The gross
revenue of the past year exceeded that of
tbe proceeding year by $5 000,000 ; and the
additional expenditures did not keep up with
the additional receipts.
This is a retort of which the Postmaster
General has a right to be proud. The postal
service has never been so thorough, so exten
sive, and so efficient as it is now. We con
gratulate Postmaster General Wanamsker
on his success.
But our enterprising Postmaster General
ia not satisfied with past snccesse nor with
present efficiency. He looks forwsrd to still
greater improvements. A large part of his
report is taken up with his scheme for a
limited postal telegraph. His idea is to es
tablish a post and telegraph service as part of
the Poetotnce Department o.- as a separate
bureau, postal telegrams to be received at
postoffiees, transmitted by wire, and deliver
ed by carriers. Mr. Wanamsker does not
contemp'a'e the purchase or en c i )n of tele
graph lines by the government, but asks au
thority to make suitable contracts with exist
ing companies for tbe handling of postal tele
grams. In connection with the service, he
would have established a telegraphic money
order system of amounts not to exceed $100.
Tbe scheme" has evidently been elaborated
with great care. The conveniences it would
afford are undoubted, and one ot the first
duties of tbe next Congnas will be the
thoughtful consideration of the new pi 'n.
Consumption.
The whole civilised world is excited by
tbe reports of the discovery, by Professor
Koch, of Berlin, of an apparent remedy for
tbat terrible scourge consumption. We
would not advise any hasty judgment on
this subject, but it is without doubt tbat tbe
remedy has the confidence of many eminent
in medical science. A well informed writtr
says:
"Tbe world has learned to be very pxtirnt
and suspicious in regard to the rexrta of
wonderful medical discoveries. Possibly
this is due among civilized people to tbe an
nouncements mostly paid fir in news
paper, of panaceas for all imaginary physi
cal ills. But there is really an unusual de
gree of confidence plead in tbe news that
Professor Koch of Berlin bai discovered a
means of curing tuberculosis in st least some
of iu sUges. Should this be true even in iu
limited promise, the discovery may rank
with the greatest of the century. What the
healing lymph is, remains, for tbe present, a
secret, but there is no disposition on the part
of the scientist to make a mystery of it sfler
be has become satisfied that it can stand tbe
severe tests to which he proposes to put it.
He has long worked on the germ theory of
disease, seeking something which would
check tubercular growth, first in the expeii
menUl glass tubes and afterwards in animal
organisms. Important experiment have been
mad upon several patients in Berlin, and
thus far with extraordinarily favorable re
sulU; but it must be remembered that all
tuberculosis is not necessarily pulmonsry,
and secondly, tbat It is hopeless to apply
even tbis remedy to cases of 'consumption'
tbat have advanced too far. On of the
most sad and perplexing features of this
common disease is tbe disposition on tbe
part of the patient to conceal or neglect it
nntil the tubercle have gained an advantage
too great to be overcome. With tht new
hope inspired by this treatment, the victim
may always be save if inoculated In time."

Tbe other member are Abraham Barker
