W. U TutMioi n, a diotinguished financier, and Comptroller of the Cur rency nnder President Cleveland, gives the following hopeful view of the preeent financial asjct : "The present situation Lai its remeily at hand. Ppecnlation prices have bet-n broken down, the crops are coming forward, gold is being import ed, liquidation is now pn,.reing, and the pressure should certainly gradually pass away." Mr. Caui.im.e, of Kentucky, at the tariff reform banquet said that "it was a fact that the Oeneral Government is not as popular as the State government." People noticed that auie sentiment along in 1800, and from that time to ISiVi. They also noticed its decadence about the Appomattox season. The governor of a State is a big man. but your Uncle .Samuel is teveral inches tall er, and can beat the Kilgore kick when ever it is nscessary. Tuc Southern Senators in fighting asainst the Elections bill complain that it will suppress the voice of the people. It would be interesting to have them ex plaiu how the voice of the people can 1 more effectually gquelcneu man h is now in the ShmiUi, where the Legislatures ap point even the county commissioners and sheriffs. If "local self-government is the popular government," as Senator Carlisle a vs. w hv don't the Democrats who con trol Southern LsfrUlsvturca gi'nc Oils. W government to the counties and towns in the South ? E T-GOVERNOK Cll A ULtV FlWTKIt, of Ohio, was a candidate for Congress at the late election. Ha had 2,000 adverse majority to struggle against, and came within 1S4 rotw of election and three precincts in the only Republican county of his dis trict did the business for him by their lukewarmneMa. In 1ST! he was one of the only six Republicans chosen from Ohio. That Congress had only 106 Re publicans, but IS more than will appear in the next Congress , and yet, two years afterward, Republican President was elected, and two years after that the hue Democratic majority of the House was blotted out, aud the Republicans again resumed power in that branch. It seems that the call for a National conveutirn at Cincinmti recently issued by certain gentlemen purporting to rep resent the farmers' movement was not authorised ; at least its authority is not conceded. Instead of aainieecing in it, the President of the National Farmers' Alliance, Mr. Polk, has decided to call a committee meeting to talk over the ad visability f a third-party movement This conference will lie held at Washing ton sometime in February. It will be composed of the presidents of the various State Alliances. That is the sensible way to proceed. A few hare-brained men assuming the func tions of absolute authority on a mutter so important ought not to le tolerated. The farmers' movement has several dis tinct and independent organizations. The Alliance over which Mr. Polk presides does not have much strength in IhU State or the Northwest generally. It is dominated certainly by its Southern ele ment, aud that element is avowedly Democratic "seven days in the week." No third-party candidate for the Presi dency will be put in the field by the Farmers' Alliance unless the leaders think it would benefit the Democracy. That much is reasonably certain. Tbe organization was non-partisan in its original purpose and plan, and it is so still, in sense ; but the Democrats of ths South 4o not propose to let agricul tural considerations jeopardise their par ty success. At the South, Democracy I imply means white supremacy, by fair means if psible, by loul if necessary. That is a purpose and policy to which the lanJ-owniiigand tilling element ad heres as rigidly as the townfolk. All third-party movements at the South must be consistent with this paramount con consideration. At the North the fafmers are divided in politics. There are a great many stanch Democrats among them hard fisted, deep-prejudiced Jacksonians, car ing little for ottice, a great deal for party. There are still more Republican farmers, quite as steadfast and onselfih, and, as rule, far more intelligent. Will these farmers of the Northwest drop party lines and join in new political crusade? We doubt it. Perhai an issue may rise in National a flairs which will in duce formidable element to go into third-party movement, but that is im probable. A great deal w ill depend upon the at titude of the two regular parties toward the distinctive demsnds of tbe farmers. No little misapprehension exists as to those demands. Especially is this true in regard to tbe so-called sub-treasury plan. It is popular with the Southern farmers, but it has not received the en dorsement of the prairie farmers, and we can not believe that it will. Chimerical ' nl perilous. It should be resitted. nd defeated, without counting the political cost. Oticogo Liter Orwrii. OvnitNoR H" 1- wan roubbea cy vne Tariff lit f.nn Hub or New York Tues day night.

Dana Gives His Dirk Another Turn. From the Sew York Ban. The dinner of the Reform Clab, so called. at the Madifon Square Garden last night, was as fine a piece of humbug as baa been seen in New York lor many a day. Tbe invitation grudingly offered to Oct- ..... . n attawl nil emor Will was an umuuw ' '1- - be siient. Tbe leader of the Democracy ol the r.mpire Slate, the 1 emocrt who con tributed more than ar.y other man to the glorious victory or ivcruber, me man uu defeated McKinley in Ohio, was to be ig nored, while the stuffed figure of the shirker and skulker, the coward in tbe ngnt, me selfish planner of disaster, and the adored ohject of the anti Democrats of ew or, was hoisted into prominence. We cowrratuiate Governor Hill on the un avoidable engagement which kept him away from such a per!urtiauce. The Bounty on Maple Sugar. From tbe Jchatown TnlMiae. One way in w hich the farmers of Penn sylvania ana oi ine cuumry hi w benefited by tbt McKinley Tariff bill is through the bounty on maple sugar. The law gives certain conditions being complied with a bounty of two atuta for each pound of such sugar manufactured, which roust certainly 1 encouraging to thoae farmers who are so fortunate as to have maple orchards upon their lands. The frM for the maple-supar bounty was made by Senator Edmunds, of Vermont. His Stave produces annually from eleven million to twelve million pounds of maple suga. about SO per cent, of the total pro duction of the country and w hen he pre sented the case in his masterly style'Congress agreed with hira that there was no substan tial reason why the producers ol" maple sugir shoulJ not be sulwidizd as well asthe sorghum makers and makers of beet suar. The new tar;!Ton su?ar, making all below No. Vi Dutch standard" free of dn'y would admit Canada's maple sugar product to onr ms.rkets free, and without the bounty her farmers would be enroarapred to increase their urcbanls to the great detriment of the domestic industry. Henoe the stand taken by the Senator, for which he deserves tbe thanks of rua-iy thousand btrraers in the United Stato. The law with direct reference to msple sugar, which we extract from the full text of the bill, is that on and after July 1, 1;1. and until Julv 1.1H05, there shall be paid from any moneys in the Treasury not other wise appropriated, to tV.e producer oftuar testin not less thsn ninety dejrrees by the polsriscoie, from maplea produced within the I'nited States, a bounty ol two cents per pound : aad upon such sugar testing leas than ninety decrees by the polariscope, and not less than eighty degrees, a bounty of one and three fourths cents per pound. The producer of said sugar, to be entitled to said bounty, thall have first filed prior to July 1st of each year, with the Cominissiomtr of Internal Revenue, a notice of the place of production, with an cMimite of the amount of stijrar proposed to he pro-J iced in the cur rent or next ensuing year, including the number of msple trees to lie tapped, and an application for a license ta so produce, to be accompanied by a bond In a penalty, ar.J with sureties to 1 approved by the Com missioner, conditioned that he will faithfully observe all ru'es and regulations that shall be prescribed for such manufacture and pro duction of sugar. The Commissioner, upon receiving tbe ap plication and bond, shall bsuc a license, but ctid license shall not extend lieyond one year frjm the date thereof. The pay ment of the bounties ptovided fjr shall be by warrants drawn on the Treasurer of the l uited SLites for such sums as shall be necessary, which Bums shall be certified to him by the Commissioner of Internal Reve nue, by whom the bjunties shall be dis bursed ; and no bounty shall bealloweuor paid to any person licensed as aforesaid in anyone year upjn any quantity ofEUsr less than live hundred pounds. From the reading of the law it would seem that the maple sugar bounty is applicable to next spring's crop. If so, to reap the ad vantage it will be necessary for our farmers totukeout their licenses very soon. A Pretty Pension Probler Washixtox, Dec. 2" A pension prob lem has arisen t.ntler the aew pension law of last June. The act grants pensions to soldiers wh j served R days and are now disabled from earning a support, provide! they were honorably discharged. The offi cials of the Pension O'ties were of the opin ion that the act of June 27, l'.K), did not in clude soldiers who had been the Confederate service and afterward enlisted iu the Union army, as the act is silent in regard to this class of pensioners, neither does il repeal section 41,711, or wind up with the usual saving clause, "ail acts and parts of acts in consistent with this act are hereby rei-ealed. ' Tbe question was referred to the assistant secretary, who decides that claimants who served in the Confederate army, prior to en listment in the I'nited States service, are en titled under the act and are placed on the same looting as all other Union soldiers. Some of the oOicial minds of the Pension Bureau are bothered to know what to do with those that were wounded, or contract-' ed disabilities while in the Confederate ser vice. The only restriction that the act makes is that the disabilities must not be the result of the solders' own vicious habits. To Succeed Justice Miller. President Harrison on Tuesday sent to the Senate the nomination of Henry B. Brown, of Michigan, to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the I'nited States, vice Samuel F. Miller, deceased. Mr. Brown was born in Lee county, Mass., March 2. IS'M, graduates at Y ale in 1S-VJ, and was appointed Assistant C cite 3 States District Attorney in 13, holding the posi tion for five years. In 186H he was elected Circuit Judge of Wayne county, Michigan, and in lH7i was appointed I'nited Suites District Judge. He compiled a volume of "Admiralty Reports," which was published in 1375. Brown Slew the Burglar. Wahisgtok, D. IX, Dsceruber 24. Judge Brown, who has just bern oppoiuted to the Supreme Bonch, bas killed bis man, though be is neither a duelist nor a murderer. He was aroused from bis sleep one night by a noise in bis room. Standing near bis bed hesawamsn with bis face masked, and a pistol in one hand and a dark-lantern in tbe other. In a very polite manner the Judge sked the visitor what he wanted, to which tbe man replied that he wanted all the money and valuables of any sort that might be about the bouse, and that if be failed to get it the Judge might have his learned brains blown out. His Honor engaged in a calm conversation with the intruder. This emboldened the latter, and as be thought lessly turned his back to get a gold pin on the dm-ing case the Judge used a revolver which lay baidy and chased tbe surprised burglar out of tbe room. At the foot of tbe stairs the thief turned and returned the Judges Ore. ifcrtb snot their weapons pointy and the burglar escaped, so badly wounded that be died shortly after being J captured by lie police.

In Mr. Calvin Cooper we have a representative farmer from the test agricultural county of our own State, and one who is able to entertain as well as in struct. The Farmers' Institute held last winter, although the first ever held in this county, was pronounced by all in attendance to be a grand success, and no one who bad the good fortune to be present will be willing to miss the meeting this year. All sessions are open and free to everybody, the expenses being paid out of an appropriation made by the htate for that purpose to the State Board of Agriculture.

Agricul tural Society. N. B. Cbitthfield, Resident Member Slate Board Agriculture, The Wages of Farm Hands. Judge Albright, of Allentown, bas banded dowu an important opinion regarding tbe wages of farm hands, as follows : ' The wuges of employes on a faim are not entitled to a preference under the act of 1872, as amended by the Act of 1883, creating a priority of wages. As all tbe claime here are for work rendered about the business of farming, in some cases the nature of tbe buriness is not stated nor can it be inferred, there ia no preference as to claimant. The Supreme Court bas decided that to make a wege claim good, it must state: First, that the labor was performed within the time limited by tbe act ; second, in a business defined therein ; third, tbe sum due; fourth, that the proiierty subject to the preferred claim is embiaced iu the levy. I'nder this rule all the notices given to the Sheriff in the case are defective, except that of Martha Scnsinger. Tbey cannot be allowed for reasons already stated. "I think tbe Legislature ought to amend the law so as to put those earning wages in farm work on the same footing as those em braced within the said act. Almost every initginable kind of wage earnings are in cluded except farm laborers. The nature of the employment does not make farm laborers less deserving than the others who are pre ferred. Often, perhaps usually, farm labor ers are not aid as promptly at the end of the week, fortnight or month as most other laborers are. For that reason they arc liable to lose more when their employer becomes insolvent, and consequently their claim for protection is the stronger. Insolvency of farmers is of almost daily occurrence. "I am also of the opinion that the Legisla ture ought to relieve from the strictness re quired by the courts in tbe form of tbe notice to be given. As the law now stands hardly anyone not critically informed as to tbe iaw on this point can construe a notice which will be adequate. This is to be deplored. It is promising bread and giving a stone in stead. Tbe unpaid laborers of employers who are about to be sold out are given preference for wages earned within six months of the insolvency, and not exceeding t-"H), but aflet the notice bas been given, tbe goods sold, and when it Is too late to give aa amended notice, the diappointed laborer told that because be and those who assisted bim to give notice were not skilled in tbe law they must go unsatisfied, while tbe exe cution of other creditors takes the money. It may be wire to require written notice, in order to protect tbe officer paying out and to avoid tbe temptation to false swearing as to whether or not notice was given, bet any written statement w hich amounts to notice of tbe claim ought to be sufficient." Two Banks to Resume. EscKSDcan, Pa., Dec 21. The firm of Johnston, Buck A Co., bankers, of this place which suspended on November ZHh with liabilities of over $2o0,000, will open for busirx ss to-morrow morning, having secured an extension from their creditors. Tbe first installment of Xi per cent, will be available on January Mh, and 25 per cent, of tbeir in debtedneas will be paid each six months thereafter with interest at 4 per cent, until their debts are canceled. Tbe bank's em barraasraent was caused by the failure of B. K.Jamison Co., of Philadelphia. The bank of Saltsburg, Indiana county, which was also forced to suspend by the Jamisou failure, will probably resume some time next month. Tbe appraisers report that the assets largely exceed the liabilities. World's Fair Proclamation. WAMtisuTO, D. C, Dec. 21.

She was a most faithful and devoted mem ber of the church and Sunday-school to tbe day of her death. She was much afflicted from childhood up, and often in such deli cate health as to be unable to attend church and Sunday-school ; and when deprived of tbe worship of God's bouse she would weep and say, " Why does the Lord send this on me, that I can't go to Sunday school ?" Uulike too many of our children who must be forced to the services of God's bouse, it was the sorrow of her life that she could not starays attend. She was loved ami respected by all who knew ber. Her funeral was attended by Revs. J. F. Shearer and E. Manges, and ber remains were laid to rest iu the Lutheran cemetery at Somerset. She will be missed, for ber seat is empty.
