B..1E.- says ; "I can carry Iowa in 1302."
IWibly he could if chinch-bugs and
grass-hoppers should destroy al! the
croj. and 2o0"' republicans should stay
away from the polls. But the outlook
tor is that of prosperity, and Demo
crats are never in it. They trrow fat on
disasters only.
Pemockats have observed that the
hair-pulling in Congress between the
Iemocra!ic bosses and the crack of Hill's
w hip in -ew York have not created any
loud mourning among l.epublicaas.
They are standing np under it bravely.
lt the fight proceed under the regular
I democratic rules.
The Democrats have never been lucky
w ith any one but a bat hebras a candi
date for President, Van Buren, Buchan
an, and Cleveland were bachelors when
elected. Tilden was a bachelor, and the
K-mocraU still claim that he w as elect

Thk Pennsylvania Railroad Company's
gross earning last year amounted to
i l34,2-"y.l2 and its net earnings to 42,
4"4.0"'2. These earnings seem great tak
en in the aggregate, but w hen the road
paid only 6 per cent in dividends to
it stockholders it shows that the income
of the people who own railroads is not so
much greater than those who have other
property or money to l'jan.
Thb editors of the Beaver St,ir,
who are at vresent serving out a prison
sentence for libeling Matthew Jaar, con
tinue to edit their jler in spite of bars
and stone walls. The important part of
their work is notes of thanks for courte
sies of edibles from admirers who have
grown to recognize their abilities in their
new quarters. Frison environments
arouse a curious class of sympathizers.
District Conventions for the nomina
tion of Congressmen and State Senators
w il! be held earlier this year than usual
u the new ballot law requires that all
nominations mast Decertified to the Sec
retary of the Commonwealth at least fif
ty-six days before the election. Hereto
fore frequently, the matter has remained
ondecided until a few days prior to the
election, thus ottering little opportunity
for the candidate to make any canvass
of the district.
Si-kakee Ckisi- is puzzled over the free
silver split in his party, and because the
itepublicaus will not help him beat his
own party followers back from the free
coinage precipice he says: "When the
iU-publicaiis Lavs a club in their bands
they use it to knock a man's brains out
without know ing w hether he is going to
do them any harm or not." The Speak
er must be sorely troubled. His real
trouble, however, is that the Republicans
w on't filibuster and prevent the Demo
crats from butting their own brains out,
Comihessmas Shkkmas IIoak, the
young Mugwump Democrat from Massa
chusetts, is greatly disturbed about the
lack of patriotism in the Republican par
ty in Congress, be.-ausj, with less than
one-third the membership of the House,
they decline to be responsible for the
w hole majority and prevent the Iemo
crats from jiasoing a free 6ilver bill. Mr.
Hoar ought to read the experience of
Sut Lovingood's father in yoking himself
with the calf. Mr. Hoar has yoked him
self with the Democratic calf, and, like
old Lovingood, he is now shouting to the
Republicans : " Here we come, darn our
fool souls; can't somebody stop us?"
"Davib B. Hiij. cannot break into the
White House w ith a jimmy," says Gov
ernor reck, of Wisconsin. The Govern
or adds, S3 that he may not be misunder
stood, "He and the other political burg
lars associated with him will come to
grief before election day." This is strong
language and we are very sorry that Gov
ernor Peck did not speak sooner, when
the Republicans were drawing their in
dictment against "the political burglars"
who stole the State of New York. But
all that time the "Wisconsin humoiist,
like most Democrats, thought it was ex
tremely funny to see Hill steal a state for
the party. Since Hill has refused to di
vide, and it is clear that he stole New
Yerk only for himself, the Cleveland
I -eraocrate see the reverse side, which is
not fanov at all.
Ei. Aia County Democrats are Laving
their annual ""halcyon and vociferous"'
time as gentle spring approaches. Seve
ral weeks ago the tireevy-Dively crowd
oalied a snap-Conventi..o and elected
themselves and several of their hench
men delegates to the State Convention
in the interests of Mr. David B. Hill.
This action was so ua warranted and in
fcuch direct violation of the w ill of the
rank and hie of the party, an overwhelm
ing majority of w hom are for Cleveland,
(hat a new Convention was called by
District Chairman U. Fiske Conrad, del
egates to which wereelecled U a primary
tsteCStein held Saturday. Th Ureevy
Dively crowd made a desperate eJTort to
rkvt a majority of the delegat at S 'tur
iay'a primary, and, failing in this they
put in an appearance at the Convention
at Uoliidarkburg, Monday, and tried to
brek it up aaJ prevent its taking any
artioa. buerifOrr had to be called in
to preserve order itod prevent bloodshed.

The democratic majority in Congress,
being committed to everything dishon
est, debasing and deceiving, will proba
bly in the end pass the Free Coinage bid
now in the Wavs and Means Committee,
but the cowardlv and hesitating way in
which thev are iU-aling w ith this great
question proves that they really have as
little faith inadishonest currency as have
the majority of the people. Henre their
demagogic shillv-shallying with the
measure and the well-grounded fear that
its passage means the certain loss of both
New York and Connecticut to the demo
cratic ticket next fall, and with the
strong probability that New Jersey will
fall into the lU-publican line, too.
Fortunate! v, we have a Republican
Senate and a Republican President to
negative the erTrts of the democratic
Houe to tlood the country with dishon
est monev. Both 6tand courageously for
a dollar that has one-hundred cents in it.
We bote, therefore, that the rumored
purpose of the democratic Congressmen
to bring up the Free Silver bill immedi
ately after the Free Wool bill will be
. arried out, for the democracy can do
othing more certain to insure continued
Republican tupremacy in the nation
than to stand out and let the people see
that, democracy nieans dishonesty in
monev s in everything! else. The
F.mpire State, for one, will never indorse
such a party.
Negroes Misled.
There are about 300 negro emigrant in
New York who are on their way to Li
beria but there will be no vessel sailing
for that port for some time and these
men are without money or friends.
They seem to have been duped by some
agent who is traveling about the outli-
west urging the negroes to emigrate to
Liberia. These men in New York are
from Arkansas and they report that oth
ers will follow. The railroads have leen
appealed to by prominent colored men
in New York to carry no more of their
people to that city with this purpose of
emigration in view. There is no way to
help them either to their would-be des
tination nor back to their homes.
The men who Ulk of having the ne
groes emigrate to Africa are the most im
practicable theorists of all those trying to
solve the race problem. There is no
prospect for the ntgro bettering his con
dition by zoine to Africa. All who have
gone have been disappointed and report
that they would have been much better
off had they remained in America. The
neirro has a better future in the land that
gave him freedom than in any other.
He now shares the hardships of al! un
skilled labor. The hoj of the race is m
teaching the negroes to become skilled
workmen that they may have steady
employment at remunerative wage.
The South needs its colored labor and
in trades this labor is as well paid as
white labor, skilled labor will make
the colored man independent,
CESSNA SHIES HIS CASTOR.
The Venerable Ex-Congressman
Announces His Candidacy for
the Legislature.
For soine months past the Republican
politicians of Bedford county have been
gently agitated over the question as to
whether or not Hon. John Cessna would
bs a candidate for the State Legislature
from that county. Politics, as a rule, are
pretty lively in Bedford county and
there is always music in the air when
"Your Uncle John" takes to the road ;
hence the anxiety to know whether or
not he was really "in it" this year.
S,ime of his friends were solicitous that
he should again le a candidate for Con
gress but a majority of them were of the
opinion that be should return to the
Lower House of the Stite Legislature,
where he won his first political spurs
many n.oocs since.
The matter was finally cet at rest Sat
urday by the publication of the following
card:
Bi:iroKn, March 5.
Ti the oVto of J? i'rd ciiiitii :
For some weeks past I have observed
notices in several new spapers of the State
in regaid to my candidacy at the election
of November next. The subject has been
very repeatedly broached to me by citi
zens of the county and in other parts of
the State, some in person and others by
letters. Some of my friends desire that I
should accept a nomination for the House
of Representative of Pennsylvania, oth
ers urge that I shall become a candidate
tor Congress. I'p to this time I have re
frained from discussing the matter as
much as possible. I believe on several
occasions I said the people might do as
they pleased, nominate me for either po
sition, or for neither, as they saw tit, I
find tit is has ied to some misapprehen
sion, and may cause dissatisfaction and
a want of harmony. From the nutnlnrr
of inquiries and the near approach of the
time for holding the county convention
I have concluded that 1 must remove the
uncertainty surrounding my position.
By reason of numerous circumstances I
prefer not to be considered a candidate
for Congress at this time. While I shall
not seek a nomination forthe Legislature
or any other otlice, I am w illing to accept
a nomination if it can be obtained with
cut solicitation on my part. If my friends
see fit to urge me for that iositij", and
tender me a nomination, I wiil do my
part to secure an election, and if elected,
do my test to serve my constituents.
There are questions likely to anse at
Ilarrisburg during the next session of
the Legislature, iu making efforts t3 se
cure proper equalization of taxation a
uiongthe people of the State, and numer
ous other important and vital questions,
w hich would eeiu to induce me to ac
cept a position which, cnhr other cir
cumstances, I would not desire to have.
1 am. very respectfully, your obedient
servant, John Clssa.
The primary election takes place on
Saturday, April 9, and the County Con
vention meets on Tuesday, following.
The other candidates for the Legislature
thus far announced are : Hon. John AY.
Smith, W. C. Smith, L"sq.t editor of the
Everett l'mvawi IwLt, Simon L. Shaf
er and W. II. Clonse, making in all five
entries with two to be nominated. It is
safe to predict that there will be some
mighty lively hustling done in Bedford
county between this and April 12.
Free Silver's Ftrst Test.
Washington, March . The present week
should be a very important one in Congr-.
The Houte will have to deal with two great
problems that are bound to I'.gure iu the ap
proaching campaign. lrp to the present time
nothing but routine matters have been con
sidered, such as appropriation bills. It is true
that in the latter Mr. Hcloian and a few of
his .satellites have attempted to make cam
paign tiiuudi-r out of these bilis, but have
Dot eucctKaled vry well. The amount of
their chnes.-pring is nigniCcant. But
now cornea up the question of the day it!
ver and the tariff. The Republicans have
decided that they will not aid the fcuteru '
Democrats in putting oS the silver discuss
ion until after election. They propose to let
the Democrats Lake the consequence of their
own legi Nation. The majority of the Dem
ocrats are in favor of free si! ver and will vote
for it. The report that the Republicans and
Dti-silver Jjsrnocrals would combine in re
lusiug to vote and thus compel Speaker
Crisp i cwWUt a quorum is expected to have
lbe effect of Wishing out the Democratic
vote almost ia full. JUt silver resolution
will pkii and be Ij'.asa tU T ill pass the
Douse, and, iu the opinion vf Lxdinj kens
tors hke Aliiton and Aidrich. will pss the
Senate and be vc-d by the President. i
AS w AS TO BE EXPECTED
Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr.. has
her say.
The late Mrs. Jams G. Blaine, Jr.. as for
merly, now Slis Marie Nevins, has addressed
the loilowin,; !-tler to her late tiiber-in-law
S.retrj-of-Siate Elaine, in answer U Lis
peraoua! staieaieul of a ft d-iya ao:
Mr 1:ar Sib: You have furnished the
pubi'C with a reHierkabls production under
the capdon of "Personal Statement." I
consider it i-iy duty at the present tiras to
aJJress you with that di gree of dignity which
your position as a public man entitles you to.
I acknowledge your well-rendered, ricbly
d emd fame as a diplomat, and appreciate
fully the weight which your utterances
possess as fully as do I appreciate roy own
weakness and my total inability to cope with
you in a personal encounter. But I shall
ri-ct from you that coiiai.lr rale and honora
ble treatment which I am sare your keen
sense of tquity and fainiws will dictate.
The powerful ruan of a great nation will
surely accord to a weak and defenseless
woman ber full meed of justice. You surely
can il! afford to withhold it.
I wish it distinctly understood by you tha
I am not atkicg sympathy. I respectfully
demand justice. I: is in your power tograni
this simple request. It remains to be seen if
you wii! l it, I will aid you by a sugges
tion. Have the kindness to publish in con
nection with your statement the full text of
the letters you have quoted from. Do not,
like a shrewd and unprincipled person, select
only such pages as may be needed to make
out a case, but give the entire contents to the
public that I may bejudged righteously. You
have the documents surely, else you could
out quote from them. I will give you a
sufficient time in which to conform to my
reasonable demand, say ten days. If at th
end of that time you fail to respond I shall
deem it my duty to give in substance their
contents and corroborate my statement by
publishing letters from your son, bath prior
and subsequent to our marriage.
You kuow full well that your chargis
twins', me regarding the marriage are un
fjuuded. I give ample opportunity to re.
tract. You have two alternatives the one
su;rgested, or siler.ee. Your consideration
for your grandson will surely induce you to
decide in favor of the first. This is not a
projvsed diplomatic engagement on my part
for vour success in dealing with powerful
nations ) too well Known for me to meet you
on any ground than as the mother of your
grandson.
I thke it that your statement wa prompted
chiefly by the remarks of Judge Thomas in
rendering his decision, which gave me my
freedom. 1 hive no def.-nse to oifer in hit
behalf. I simply declare now that you have
arraigned me by the use of fragmentary quo
tations from my love letters to your son. and
a-k that you be fair enough to publish the
originals in full. I will then prove to the
world that your son was far from a weakling
and that you, his proud father, well knew it
long before he married me.
Truly yours, Maeie Nevis Blaine.
To Mr. James U. Blaise, Winking-ion City.

unln rs, residing at New Castle and vicinity
a hi'lily laudatory address drawn up by the

Found Dead In the Attic.
I'nhintown, March 4. Mrs. Sarah Evans
Stewart, wife of Vui. S. Stewart, who is a
nephew of A.J. Stewart, one of Fayette's
members of the Legislature, was found dead
in the attic of her residence this evening by
ber son, who works in the telephone ex
change. A clothesline was about ber neck
and she had been strangled. While there is
Ulk of foul play, the general opinion is that
she committed suicide. Tbe coroner is ma
king a thorough investigation. It looks as
if she adjusted the rope and kicked away a
box on which she stood, thus strangling
herself. The next suspicious circumstance
is that Mrs. Stewart was dressed to go out
calling with Mrs. Hertzog. a neighbor, even
10 having on her wrapper and rubbers.
Will Get Pensions,
Asistant Secretary Bussyon Friday made
au imjKtrtant decision in the tension case of
Rudolph M. Mar.ley of Company I, Forty
seventh Pennsylvania Volunteer Militia.
Mauley entered the service uuder a call of
the Governor in June, 10'!, when President
Lincoln issued his proclamation asking for
."O.ooO volunteers to repel Lee's invasion.
Manley had been getting a pension but was
dropped from the rolls on the ground that
he was not in the I'uited States service. This
decision restores to pensionable service all
those who served in the state militia at that
time.

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
BY SCJT. J. . BEBKET.
Another term of oar common schools will
soon hsre made its record. For the county,
ssa whole, the term ofll-2 has been a
most successful and satisfactory ene, AH
the districts in the county except Somerset
and Meyersdale have bad a six mouths'
term, aud with tbe exception of the schools
in the capital ani the metropolis, all will
nave doted within tha next thirty days un
less specially delayed.
Iu this column we can refer only to tbe
work connected with the close of the schools
which tbi yesr presents some new features,
especially as spplied to the rural districts.
The grading of all schools has been at
tempted, and thus iar the progress and the
results have been general y satisfactory. A
beginning has been made in every school,
and the foundation laid for a more system
atic and thorough grading next year. Sub
stantial progress in any line of popular ed
ucation! must necessarily be graded. No
radical chsnges or reforms are contemplated.
We seek to retain all that is good, while we
reach forward for still better things in and
for our schools. New demands are but the
evidence of healthy growth, and while tbe
development of the schools is so generally
recognized, it is also evident to all who are
intimately acquainted with their condition
and their needs, that their ultimate good can
come only through systematic work, through
grading, and popular support. This is the
end in view in the application of the Graded
SyMcn and the CWe of Study. The readi
ness with which teachers and directors en
dorse and aid this movement calls forth
grateful recognition and popular support.
In a few years we msy have thoroughly grad
ed schools in every district, and all pupils
and patrons will understand fully and we be
lieve heartily sustain tbe system, while they
reap its benefits in very much better schools.
The natural and legitimate outgrowth of
a graded system is Graduation, and to this
feature attention is here directed.
KXAM 19AT105S rOK GBADCATroS.
Meyersdale, Somerset, Berlin, I'rsina and
Confluence will this year present classes for
examination. Rock wood and Salisbury will
hsve Junior classes only. These seven bor
oughs hsve special courses of study com
prising the common school curriculum and
some or all of the following additional
branches: Literature, Rhetoric, Algebra,
Drawing. Book-keeping snd General Histo
try. All other schools iu the county use the
CWiy Court of Study which includes the
common branches only. W.th the adoption
and use of this course of study pupils may
graduate from the country as well as from
the town schools. The system of graduation
ia practically the same in town and country,
except that the borough high schools have
the advanced or additional work, and ap
plicants for graduation in those schools are
examined in all tbe branches of the adopted
course, while those from all other schools
are examined in the common branches only.
This is the first year tor the course of study
in the country snd small borough districts,
but in many schoo's the movement has given
a decided impetus, and a number of advanc
ed pupils have applied for graduation at the
close of the schools in their res(erthe dis
tricts. Applicants may attend the examina
tion mcst convenient for them. Tbe dates
and places named below will accommodate
all the applicants reported. Two days are

KCLE8 AND BET.I LATIONS.
The following regulations will govern
these "final" or graduating examinations :
1. Pupils should preterit a written state
ment from their respective teachers, recom
mending them for graduation.
2. Examinations will begin at U o'clock,
unless otherwise named.
3. Each class will be examined by a com
mittee of three, two of whom shall be select
ed by the teachers and directors of the dis
trict or districts for which the examination
is held. Teachers who present candidates for
graduation shall not be eligible to member
ship on this committee.
4. The County Superintendent will.be ex
oflloio chairman of each committee, snd after
tbe other members of the committee have
been named, he will distribute tbe branch,
es among the committee and assist in hold
ing the examination.
j. The plan of holding the examinations
shall be uniform and the grade of questions
as nearly equal as possible. Applicants
should come prepared to do some written
work; although part of the work maybe
ora'.
H. No pupil shall be graded who in the
final examination falls below U per cent, in
the general average, or below io per cent, in
any oue branch of the course of study.
Terra records may be considered by exam in
ersin determining final grad-n.
7. Neat and attractive diplomas will be
furnished by the Superintendent. Esch
pupil upon passing the examination satis
factorily will be granted one of these diplo
mas which will be s:gned by the examiners,
the teacher, and the officials of the board of
directors for tbe pupil's district.
Most of tbe committees have already been
selected, and each will be notified indue
time of their part in the examinations.
All these examinations will be open to
the educational public. Directors and teach
ers sre especially invited to be present.
Appropriate exercises msy be arranged for
in connection with the granting of diplomas.
The exercises may constitute a program for
an evening meeting after the examination
or at the close of the term.
There examinations will not interfere any
where with the regular school work.
VALVE or DIPLOMAS.
A diploma is a recognition of scholarship
for which to strive. Tbe standard required
for graduation will be sufhciently high to
present a stimulus for faithful study, and to
give those who n-sch that standard due credit
for thorough work and fair scholastic attain
ment. A common school diploma will hsve
no intrinsic or professional value, howerver.
While it is presumed to be ample evidence
of good scholarship, yet no license to teach
will be granted upon tbe record made io se
curing iu Teaching is a special work and
requires ecial preparation ; graduates, si
tbe best products of our common schools are
encouraged to enter tbe professional schools
f or tbe training of teachers that they may
receive that special preparation for which
their work in the common schools has laid
S good foundation.
TEX)f BEVOB1S.
A Term Report blank has been sent to every
teacher in the county through what was
considered his post -office at the tims. If any

Attention Sugar Producers.
As there seems to be a great deal of mis
understanding and misinterpretation of the
law regulating the bounty on sugar, I wish
to otT;r a brief explanation on points refer
ing to tbe requirements on tbe part of pro
ducers. 1. Some are of the opinion that all their
sugar must be put up in packages of ten
pounds each. This is a mistake. No such
requirement is msde. You put your sugar
in barrels as you used to do heretofore.
Simply ohserve this rule put no sugar in
packages containing less than ten pounds.
2. Others are under the impression that
they will be required to take all of tl-eir
sugar to Somerset, Meyersdale or Berlin in
order to have it weighed and get tbe bounty
on tbe same. Wrong again. No such pro
vision made in the law. If you wish to sell
any sugar during the making season you are
obliged to bring it to one of tbe three places
mentioned, but you need not bring a pound
and yet get your bounty. Make all tbe good
sugar you can, aud when you are through
notify the Deputy Weigher of your respect
ive district that you are ready to have your
sugar weighed, and' be will come to your
house, bring his scales along and weigh
your sugar without any expense or incon
senienoe on yqur part whatever. After it is,
weighed and sampled by the Deputy you
can sell your sugar just to whom and where
you please. Tbe government performs the
labor end bears the expense. Every pro
ducer of maple sugar should not fail to take
out license for next season, and be sure to
have it dons before tbe'lst of July 18!2.
