The tirrms that is now in sw-iou

to do is to pass the iiet-essary appropri

No cloture ; no pop-pun bills, is said
to the fisitl determination of the
Senate. All tir.kerins at tliiss.-s.sion
with the tariff or the currency is only
calculated to ket'p up the uncertainty

We hear a nvat deal of prate a-tout

The
liihe-t a!i'i:i:i of Mr. Hicks is to
pr.x-iyv a public h.iiMinir at Altoona
and the citizens of that city apparently
b id no ilitical s.-ntiiiicnts a few ye-r-since
that were not made subservient
to that end.
We congratulate Mr. IIi-ks on his
new app !iit!ii'-nt, but the public build
in?! bill he and the Altoonaites have s-
much at heart is not likely to lieconie a
law at this session pt-rhajis at som.;
rs.-ssi.in it may c squeezed througlu A
iiu'iii!-r.-liip on that committee is not
a U-d of roses, with every bij; town in
the country demanding a building at
public expense. In that committee
every one of its thirteen memliers has
a bill or two for himself or friends that
he wants favorably reported, and r.
'kis-inz grog's by favor'' a pood deal of
loirrollin is requisite. Merit or claims
do not count.
IkkTor Thomas IHxx Kx;lih,
the author of that sweet so-iir, " l!.n

ber of Congress from Xew Jersey.
Tiic I K-t jr is no longer younir, and
time has not mellowed a somewhat
irascible temper. A few days sinct' he
threatened the Ilou-e with ve:i;r -ane
fir refusing to pve unani-n us consent

by him, and d--hired that he would
not c.inseiit to the c msiiler.it ion of any
other bii! re-iuirimr unanimous coiK'tit
until the end of the s.-ssio:i, imless his
bill was first considered. Whereupon
the Philadelphia IS con I perpetrat-s
t he following clewr parody on a part
of his famous sonir :

I r is pretty well settled that the jwip
rmi bills are shelveil and that there
will U' no further tariff tinkering dur
ia the present ssion of Congress.
The destructive p licy of the Democ
racy has, however, cropped out on
smother ouestion, and there is a deter
mined c-lbrt maturing to revive the
currency question, under the over of
which the National banks are to ln
crippled and eventually wi;od out, the
greenback and other issjes of the
TYe:iury to bv retired, and State banks
to b.' given the p iwer t i.ue and con
tr 1 the paper m ney of the country.
T.i this end S.-cretary Carli-ie has for
mulated a pla:i which is c:id rs.-d by
the I're-ident and is b.-imr urged up !i
nrress. Tiiis plan involves funda
mentally the extinction of all existing
pip.T inouey and tiie sulMitution
therefor of State bank bills, no .ill !,.-iii-i
allowed of less d.-n imiiiati-m than
St). This covers the whole ground,
the wiping out of all small bills of le-s
than $10 In-ing a sop to tiie siiwrites to
gam their Mipp.irt.
When the IK-mocrats wanted n excuse-for
overthrowing the late protec
tive tariff it wasdoclan-d to lie utHMti
stitutional and now the excuse put
forward for wiping out lioth greenbacks
and National bank bids is that the
Oowriinient has no right to go into the
banking business, and the President
fulminated this characteristic dogma
in his late message. Tiie fallacy of
this idiotic idea is readily perceived hy
refereueeto the Constitution of the
United Stat.-s which vest in Congrcs
alone the piwer to make anything but
g.'ld and silver a legal tender for debt.
I'nder the present system of National
banks the (rtnernmetit stands U-hind
every note issued, ami is pledged to
maintain it at par with all other mon
ey. No one ever looks at one of these
notes except to as-ertain its denomina
tional value and its purchasing power
is of equal value in every state through
out the I 'tiion. The present yteni
1: is worked admirably for more than
thirty years in all of which time no
n te holder ha ever lost a dollar by
reason of the failure of one of these
banks. We do not U lieve the people
M ill let this system le destroyed, sim
ply because the Democratic party lead
ers are determined, if in their ower,
to wipe from the statute hioks all l.-g-isiation
enacted by and through the
Jiepublican lrty.
Thkke is a very uncomfortable, pos
sibly a dangerous state of affairs exist
ing at present in the State of Alaliama.
Colonel Oats, the Democratic candidate
for Oovernor, was returned as duly
le-tel, last mouth, by a large majori
ty, has taken the oath of oflh-e U-fore
the chief justice of the State and has
assumed the duties of the office.
The frien-Ls of Kollt, the Populist
candidate, assert that tle return are
fraudulent, that th.-ir man was duly
electetl, and ai-cordingly he also has
taken the oath of ottice lufore a justice
of the peace, and has issued a proila
mation calling upon the collectors of
taxes, a large numler of whom are
Populists, not to py over the sums in
their hands to the Oats government,
hoping to thus deprive it of the means
to run the machine. Oats, liowever, is
in jvjssession of the muniments of of
fice at the Capitol, and has a large ma
jority in the legislature at his Iwck.
Here is a plain issue joined, a question
of fact as to which of these claimants
was legally elected Oovcrnor, which in
any state having a iopular form of
government would le settled by an ap
peal to the courts, a recount of the bal
lots, and the hearing of evidence for
and against the charge of fraud and
bulldozing at the polls. Itnt it turns
out that the Demm-rats, who have held
alsolute power in Alabama for many
years, have not provided any means of
contest. The legislature declares the
result of the vote in the entire State,
and there is the end of the matter,
the defrauded candidate having no re
dress. We have no sympathy with the lop
ulistie ideas of government. We of
course know nothing of the truth or
falsity of the allegations of fraud made
by that faction of the Democracy, but
we direct public attention to the infa
mous condition of the laws of the State
under which such n state of affairs ca:i
exi.-t. The t vi lent object of this lack
of law on so momentous a question
was to keep control of the State in the
hands of the Democracy by preventing
any investigation of frauds by its polit
ical opponents, and the Populists are
now reaping the reward for their for
mer participation in outrag"-! ui the
purity of the ballot Nx. (Jovcrnor
Oats and his followers K ing hi com
plete control, a resort to violence by
the Populists is not to b? anticipated,
but it is to Ik? hnicd that public atten
tion having liceti directed to the outra
geous lack of law in tills instance, that
it will compel an enactment providing
for the ascertainment of the will of the
electors, as is doiie in all other civilized
communities.
A Coafeisioa Of Failure.
The New York .Su:i says: There is
nothing iiTiexc-ted or strikinjr in the
message which Mr. Cleveland sent to
Congress on Monday. The cn-Tiiious
length of the document is due solely to
the industry of the clerks who have Ikmui
engaged in sutiiinariing and p:u-:idira-in$-the
annual rejxirts from the vveral
d- iiartite tils. The writing is a very z x l
sjKiMiiicn of what is known r. the itdmin
istrative style, and ia marked contrast
with the few paragraphs which bear the
individual marks .f Cleveland's well
known rhetoric. After the first three
sentences, the jen evidently pasi into
the hand of Secretary Iresh:im. or some
one of Secretary llrirham's trained as
sistants. The pea ds not get li;-k into
Mr. Cleveland's own lingers till we pet to
the discussion of the pension frauds.
Then the style is unmistakable. With a
sinnle exception, every iiiqiortant refer
ence to inter-national affair is :i indi
rect confession of failure and humilia
tion. And the statesman who started in hist
year with the complaint that he had a
Congress on his hands i-oneludes this un
edifying and uusatisfai-tory m-s;iLro with
a thoroughly characteristic rt minder to
thai same Congress that n that same
Congress, and r.ot upon himself. 'Tests
the rtspt.usilulity for all legislation affect
the jieopleof the Cnited Slat.-s."
The small part of the message w hi.-li
was unquestionably written by Mr.
Cleveland was with a p 'n dippe.l i:i su'k.

and was discharged, found fifty-tw o in-dii-tments
against various ex-county oili

F.IUTOR Herald:
From the way the Representative-elect
referred to in my comuiunicition pult
lishel in vtnir issue of November 2Vh
strikes kick, it is to be inferred Hint he
d:sM not relish l.-eing advised by his con
stituents Surely he ought not to take
the matter so hard, for "('Id Farmer'' was
prompted only by kind feeling and good
motives in offering the advice given to
all our representatives Perhaps it did
seem unkind to say that he was "unfor
tunate" in declaring tliat he would not do
w hat no one ever thought f his doing,
but no unkiiidness was intended. The
remark was made in honesty and siinvr
ily, and the reason w hy all good peoplo
think it unfortunate for one who is welt
disposed (as I have no doubt the "inex
perienced representative" is) to assirt
solemnly that he will not do w hat no one
ever accused him of doing, or intending
to o, is Itecausoof the old proverb that
says: "Watch tho man w ho prM-hiims
his own honesty." Tln great Teacher
w hom he quotes in his reply to " ld
Farmer" not only discourage elf-exal-tation,
but denoum-es it iu the most is si
tive terms
Whiloi the whole of this little contro
versy may le unfnrltinate, I can see how
it may yet result in g.md. Tho "inexpe
rienced representative" says thai his
reason for asserting that he could not lie
bought was that "some have leen
lxmght." He certainly would not my
this unless he knows it to lie true, for he
closes) his reply with a moral lecture, in
which he says: "Ix-t ns lie truthful all
the days of our lives and we shall have
our reward." So he certainly must know
the truth of the assertion he makes, and
if he knows of representatives having
lieen Ismght, he certainly will, as a g'tod
citizen, make information against them
and bring them to justice. There are few
higher crimes than tho one he charges
known to the law, which be must under
stand if he has studied the Constitution
of o-.ir State, as one who aspires to repre
sent the people should do. Indeed I can
not sc. how he i-.m take the- ah of oiliec,
which he must take, the oath to support
the Constitution of the State, if lie has
know ledge of such tiiermous iola'.i.ms
of its provision as he asset ts, and yet
fails to take the nc:-ess::ry sieps t t bring
the otlci-.d.-ss to justice. So we hope that
the result- of tlits little correspondence
w itl be tiie dis!. tire of what the "inex
perienced representative" knows. If his
statements are true they can bo easily
proven, and Le can render th. public
fully as g.tod -ervb-e by bringing what is
hid leu to light as he can by his prescin-e
in the legislature, especial!;.- if. as lie intimate--,
he depend.- upon i.-.t-i-. ing "prop
er iu: trueli iii" from some .th-r m. tuin-i-of
the Ilo-.ise.
In his reply to the eomi:i::;ii-at'-iu of
Nov. 2sih he cabs ntteiiti'm to soMiethiug
iiiore, that he states he said in his Stoyes
to 11 speech, in w hieh I fear that he is
wrong again. I find by tile Legislative
IlcMr.l that during the greater part of
tlje s-ssioii the Houso :nlj lurns iii Friday
and dies iK-t convene until Moii.lay
evmiiig. As long as this is the case, there
are but few days of each week when any
service can be rendered, and it seems to

to arise in tli-.i judi'-ial district then si:n

American politi-.-s was demonstrated in
this else by the two candidates being a
tie in Franklin and Fulton giving a
plurality to Judgj R iwe. Apart from the

the method is in every way a cviiui-jn.l i

Bit j Kill a Fig and Attack a Vcamgo
Coanty Tanner.
The following comes from the town of
President, situated on tho Allegheny
River, almve Oil City: Savage rats at
tacked a pig lielonging to Henry Karns,
recently. Mr. Karns heard his porker
squealing, and went to the pen to investi
gate. He found the pig down on the tloor
o! the pen mid literally covered with rats
that were squealing, tighliiig, and tearing
skin and Ilesh from the under portions of
the animal's holy. The pig had made a
gallant struggle, and several rats lay dead
around the pen, while a number had
I teen crushed by his weight.
Mr. Karns, with the handle of a flail,
attempted to ln'at the rats away, but they
were savage from hunger and the taste of
hlo L, and attacked him so savagely that
he was forced to leave the pig to his fate.
After se-.-.iring and loading his gun, he
returned to tli3 pen, but tha ralstiad dis
appeared, and the pig was dying. They
had eaten the lle.sh from the soft portion
of the porker's body.
