In New York State last year there were
N ,n00 children of w hool age who did

hid fair to remain in the IX'mocratic
(!uiiin.
As a result of the excellent measures
decided on bv the P-epublican Senatorial
ca.ioii?. the Uak financial floods that
have recently overshadowed business
may now l-e iuid to have a silver lining.
Tin: disbursements of Secretary Win
dom fjr bond purc hases and the cabled
reiorte of large shipments of gold are
hrinifing back confidence to financial
circle, and it in confidence that is needed
more than gold.
Political defeat ban a depressing ef
fort on finances in Pennsylvania, Ex
Senator Wallr.ce was defeated for the
puWnat.-vial nomination by Pattison
and Nnator l-elaiiiater was defeated for
election by the same man. Both were
bankers and both are now bankrupts.
;vi:i:vi: u..et Pattis 8UU that
l.e will not announce the apiK)intruent of
the niembers of his cabinet until the day
.f hi inauguration. It is cruel in the
Governor to keep so many aspiring
eutesmen ou the ra'iJ edge of hope for
ko long a time.
Wiikx the new United States Senators
are iworn in such personal questions as
"Have you ever committed murder?"
phould be avoided. The Senatorial biog
rapher should al5 be :i-reet and omit
all mention of the Senator having fled
the State or having been ' a holy terror
in his neighborhood." When Ark ansa
i . ailed in the lower House of Congress
and the hand is held up to sweir, the
new Sesl:er tdiould see to it that the
blood stains are not maile conspicuous.
It remains to be seen whether "killing
your mau" is in the future to be among
the requisites of American statesmen.
JnlT Orin.
Tux brilliant genius out in Chicago
mhi organized a co-operative cooking
company to do away with the ladies of
the kitchen is, naturally enough, in Hot
water. The cooks have banded together
and have secured legal aid to help them
drop him in the consomme. Kut just
how the law can lend itxelf to such an
immersion does not appear.
Thk death of Sitting P. ill is an inci
dent the effect cf which it is difficult to
estimate. There are manv who deride his
reputation as a warrior, many w ho at
tribute to him no higher rank than that
of a half-savage demagogue, but no one
who has paid any attention to current
l.istory can deny that his power over the
Indian mind was very great. We are
inclined to think that he could do more
to excite or to calm the passions of bis
countrymen than any other Indian with
whom the present generation has had to
deal, and we aie inclined to think also
that he liHKhad more to do with creating
the present disturbed condition of affairs
than any other Indian chief.
Mary C. Colliis, a missionary agent,
writing from Fort Yates, X. I)., to the
A'frinrf, descrilies Sitting T.ull assaying
to her: "They (the United States fJov
ernruent'i did not regard my wishes in
selling the land and opening the renerva
ti in. I will le chief. I can only be chief
by keeping the people savage. If they
iierrmie civilized I nhal! go down." This
policy has dominated every act of Sitting
Hull since he roue from an obscure posi
tion ana medicineman. He has been
the constant foe of Indian civilization.
Abler men than he may have effected
the w arlike organization which the (Gov
ern ment has suppressed at great cost of
life and money, but he excited those
abler minds to action. He was a perfect
oiitical priest, using the terrors and
proniipes of an unseen world to excite
bin half-savage compatriots to actions
that administered solely to h's own tem
poral welfare. Whether he was the most
able of the Indian chiefs is not worth
discussion ; he w as the most dangerous.
It way le that by his death the chief
provoker of superstitious zeal is removed,
but it sIeo may be that his mantle has'
fallen upon a younger man. It will be
eahier for a new medicine chief to attain
eminence while a Eii)erslitiou8 frenzy
jftscHes the souls of the tribes than in a
time of apathy begotten of plenty of beef
and blankets. But this one lesson should
bs learned from the life of Silling Bull ;
no new prophet or priest should be al
lowed to attain su.-h pow er as he reached
to. The end of this war should be the
end of ghost dances, and it should be
the beginning of the end of all medicine
chiefs. It w ill be in the power of the
United States Government to make it so.
The public has not yet fully realiied
the importance of reciprocity with the
American Republics. It may be describ
ed in few words as the practical reali
zation of w hat the Democrats have been
confusedly dreaming about for the past
fourorrive years. With the reciprocity
proposed by Secretary I!aine the conntry
would have about all the tree trade it
could stand and continue to prosper. It
is absurd to talk of free trade w ith Eu
ro), becauKC, even were the United
State to adopt such a ruinous policy,
there could bo no free tra le. Americans
could remit duties and flood their mar
kets w ith foreign fabrics, thereby de
stroying home industries, but there
would be no response from the other
side.
Wiih the exception of (ireat Itritain,
every nation on tbe other side of the At
lantic has a protective tariff, and each
one of them is at this very moment ma
turing plan for placing heavier duties
upon foreign goods, while England, un
der the fiction of sanitary regulations,
excludes from her markets the very pro
ducts w hich this country can supply in
abundance. There i no hati for reci
procity between us and Euroe, except to
very limited extent, and hence free
trade, so far as the latter is regarded, is
A delusion snd a snare. Put with' the
republics to the south of us it is alto-
gether different. They have what we
waiit and cannot successfully produce,
and we have what they want and as yet
have not rrod:iced. The United StaU
wants their eucar, coffee, and hides, and
they want the manufactures of the United
States and many other products which
they are not in a condition to produce
themselves. Here there is equity in the
transaction. It is mutually advanta
geous. It is ridiculous to jump to the conclu
sion that the United States, with no mer
chant marine to speak of, and protective
tariffs bristling in all the older settled
countries, can corral at one the entire
trado of the world by removing all re
striction! on Imports. A child must crawl
before It can walk, and with our own
markets for 03,000,000 of people, and
with the markets for at least 50,000,000
more to the south of us, one would think
ther was sufficient basis for an experi
ment But the markets to the south of
os cannot be utilized to the full extent
unless the Government offers liberal in
ducements for the creation of a merchant
marine. This has been done with the
best results by all progressive countries,
and Congress by promptly passing the
bills now before it for that purpose, will
in the most material manner contribute
to the success of reciprocity with the
American republics. lioltimure American.
The Inspection of Cattle.
I'ruia the Haniiburf Patriot.
One of the measures that in all probabili
ty will receive attention at lb coming ses
sion of the legislature if a bill providing for
the inxpection of cattle, dead and alive, that
are intended I ji food. This is a very im
portant matter am one that shouid be given
the fi!!let consideration by the lawmakers.
It has been shown by the investigations
of Dr. Herron, an English physiciau and a
friend of Professor Koch, that consumption
is frequently communicated to human he
inps through the flesh of animals consumed
for food and esiecial!y through the milk of
cows. Dr. Her run has also shown that
I where there is inspection of the lood this
communication of tbe disease can be pre
vented. It is weil known that cattle are pe
culiary liable to be affocted by tuberculosis
and where there is no in.-ection of tbe ani
mals it is undoubtedly tbe case that many
j animals so affiled are used for food. It is,
i of course, iiui05ible to fjrni any estimate
of the number of human beings who become
ail'ected with tuberculosis through this cause
but there can be no doubt that the number
is very largj.
The inflection of cattle and meat nsed pa
food crimes within the power of tbe State
and as it is a matter of so much importance,
the health of the citizens being exposed to
great riskf, tbe State should make use of
t liut powtr. It is to be hoped that the legis
lature at its coming session will do some
thing in this direction.
Pension Money.
The Pittsburgh Cimmerrial Gnzetlr ofTuea
day has this to say concerning pension pay'
ments :
There is a great deal of money in the coun
try that finds its way into the hands of (Le
boarding classes money that is not paid
out again for food, clothing and tte ordina
ry expenses of living, but carefully deposit
ed in some savings bunk or slowed away in
tbe proverbial ''old stocking." Secretary
Noble state a fact which is attested by the
common experience of all who are familiar
with the pensioner as a class, that tbe
money which they receive from tbe govern-
meat is. for the most part, almost imme
diately turned into the channels of circula
tion. As the Secretary expresses it. the
$100,000.1100 disbursed by the Pension Bu
reau last year was a double blessing bless
ing the soldiers who received it and the nu
merous iersons to whom it was paid, in
turn, by tbeni.
While this would be no argument in fa
vor of extravagant pensions, orallowanc
to unworthy person!', it is a fuct which goes
to show that tbe pension system does not
drain the country of its currency or send
millions of dollars in coin to foreign co tin
tries. The .pensioner is, a a rule, in need
of even- dollar be gels, and before the qur
ter is ended bis whole income from this
source is in the hands of those to whom be
was indebted, or has been eipended to sup
ply some ntcesiary want. If the Govern
ment is engaged In j ing out money which
in any way tends to make tbe rich richer
and Vic poor Kxrer, it is certainly not true
of the pension system. If all paid as freoiy
as the old pensioners, there would be less
occasion furstriiueney j money market
Amending the Came Laws.
A determined effjrt will be made at the
coming station of the legislature to have the
game las t of the state amended in certain
particulars. Complaints are constantly cooi
ng Iroui farmers in all secti ins of the state
as to the lawlessness and ieckle9snes9 dis
played by men aud bos who are in search
ofpaiue. Crops are destr oyed and it very
frequently happen that tbe domestic fjw's
belonging to a farmer are kil!-d and carried
off. Asa rule this sort of work is djne by
the pot hunter but there are exceptions and
it is not an unusual thing for a man who
should he above doing such a thing to wan
tonly kill a farmer's domestic fowls.
The farmers are growing tired of this sort
of thing and they will endeavor to have the
legislature pas-i a much more stringent law
th ir. is now in force. It has been suggested
that it would be a goxl iJia to apply the
special York c mnty law t the whole state
This law ii ates it unlawful for any person
to hunt on inclosed or cultivated lands with
out first obaiuing consent from the owner
or tenant, tbe penalty being a fine of from
five to twenty dollars and cost of prosecu
tion or imprisonment for ten days. Entrance
upon tbe land with a gun or dogs is taken
to be tutlieient evidence that the trespasser
is engaged in hunting. Another suggestion
is fast each sportsmea be required to pay for
a hunting license as duck hunters on tne
Chesapeake hay have to do in Marylaud. If
a law of this sort were passed and every
person found hunt:ng without a license
were severely punished it might have a good
enect.
Something will have to be done and it is
not improbible that either or both of the
above suggestions may be acted upon by the
next Legislature.
Changing the Poor Law.
HaaauBrao, Dee. 10. The State Poor
Commission bad several sessions here to-day
to pnt the finishing touches to tbe bill pro
posed to be submitted to the next Legisla
ture. Among tbe modifications was one
establishing an independent State Bureau,
to consist of a commissioner and two inspec
tors, who shall be salaried. Xo State aid is
asked for this prosecution of the act except
the furnishing of the agents indicated, to
secure uniformity in the msaner of meeting
the wants of tbe jioor. Each county is to
be made a separate poor district under the
general supervision of the State Commission,
but no special act of any county affecting
the case of the indigent will be supplanted
by the prutueed general law.
On of the objects of the bill is to relieve
the Cxirts of Quarter Sessions of connection
with the disposition of the poor, vesting the
power in the contemplated Slate bureau.
The commission makes no provision in its
bill for the dispusitioa of vagrants, allowing
present laws to control them. All the
members of the commission attended the
meeting to-day except Sir. Gonigal, of Pitta
burg. County Treasurer-eiect Benton L. Miller
of Fayette county, was unable to file his bond
of flJj.ii0 during the last session of court
and it is a question whether it can be legally
receive 1 in chambers. Should it not be filed
tbe present incumbent would hold until an
appointment by the county commissioners.
The bond is made larger than usual on ac
count of the building of the new court house.
This is the first ca e in the history of the
county that an officer baa failed to give
bond, and the case Ik causing considerable
excitement.'
A Boy Kidnaped.-
Wm Cesti, Dec. J. Howard Cnn-
niiham relattd in this place this morning
an eipeiience which hapily dots not often :
lail to tbe lot of boys in this county. m
Ust Tuesday he was ml tuning from school
in East Bradford to his faro) home in tbe
same towoshii. and just as ha entered a
deep cut in the public road, about midway
between tbe school house and bis home, a
rickety Dearborn, drawn by two horses and
occupied by theree villainous looking men,
entered at the other end of tbe passageway.
Upon tbeir meeting, two of the men leaped
from the vehicle and roughly taking bold
of young Cunningham they threw him to
the ground and in a twinkling gagged him
to prevent bis giving an alarm. Then they
bound bis legs and arm and rifled bit pock
ets of all their contents. This accomplished
they thiew him Into the wagon and drove
off at as rapid a gait as the horses were ca
pable of making.
Night came on, but the wagon did not
stop, and tbe bey was unable to tell in what
direction they were traveling. Arriving at
a grove about 1 o'clock the men decided to
stop there for tbe balance of tbe night. The
horses were unhitched and fed, and after a
roughly prepared meal the three men drank
a lars quantity cf whiskey and crept into
tbe wagon to sleep.
The lateness of the hour, coupled with
the telling effects of the copious draughts of
liquor, soon had the effect of putting tbe
ruffians tosleep, and when their boy captive
was assured that all was safe be resorted to
the use of his knife, which they bad neg
lected to deprive him of, and, severing the
cords which bound his limbs, soon removed
the gag from his mouth and in another mo
ment was fleeing across tbe fields.
He sought shelter in woods and later
entered a village, which he described was
A vondale. a point some dozen miles from the
point of iiia capture. Here be told his
story and enlisted friends in his behalf, who
gave him assistance and helped him to a
relative's home, a few miles distant. From
there he was brought to this borough, and
soon after was restored to his home in East
Bradford.

Wanamaker Interferes.
Tkf.stos, X. J., Dec. IS. A saloon keeper
of this place christened his place "Post Of
fice," and advertised on fences and in the
newspers that a "Good drink of whisky
could be had for ten cents at the Post Of
fice." The name made a great hit, and
many were the jocular inquiries as to how
trade was, put at Postmaster Yard.
Tbe postal authorities at Wasbingffen were
informed of the sign, and a Post Office In
spector appeared and ordered the hotel man
to take it down. He complied with the or
der, but has consulted counsel in the matter
and intends a rechristening should his coun
sel advise it

Wallace and Krebs Assign.
Ex -Senator William A. Wallace, of Clear
field, on Monday of last week, made an
assignment for tbe benefit of his creditors.
Tbe reasons given are excessive tightening
in the money market and inability to obtain
aioney to meet obligations. The Clearfield
County Bank, which was exclusively under
tbe control of Mr. Wallace, and now closes
its doors, is a private institution. The bank,
which was formerly a State institution, bsd
been directed to wind up tbe old business,
and did a collection and exchange business.
The depositors have been secured by a judg
ment bond and mortgage binding valuable
coal interests at and near Houtxdale, Clear
field county. Tbe whole indebtedness of
Mr. Wallace is estimated at 3U),000. David
L. Krebs, President Judge of Clearfield
county, and a son in-law of Mr. Wallace,
has also made an assignment. H is in
debted to various parties for borrowed mon
ey to tbe extent of $13,000. Wallace had
endorsed bis notes, and when the latter
made an assignment, Judge Krebs was forced
to do likewise.

8. J. McMillax, Somerset, Pa.
Said to Breed Diphtheria.
It is said that the fumes of ker.wne, when
a lamp is turned down, are liable to cause
diphtheria. Tbe New York board of heilth
a few years aga, decided that U this mire
than any other cause, tbe prevalence of this
diseasa was to b attributed. This is given as
accounting for the fact that diphtheria gen
erally begins to spread with the advent of
short dsyt and long nights. ChiiJren dis
like to go to bed in the dark, and the m Jth
er lets down tbe flame in tbe lamp so that
the "ight shall not keep tbe child awake.
Many bed rooms are thui semi lighted all
night, and tbe windows bing closed or rais
ed bat slightly, the atiaxpheric canditioa
of the room is simply deadly. A turned
down kerosene lamp is a magazine of dead
ly gas that tbe healthiest lungs cannot ba
exposed to.
