MkI Wiijstx jret.s the Postmaster tietu-ralshiji lvra:;je he is the worst re Iiudiated man in American politics. It is evident tli.it there will lie no K:i'i:il s.'ssion f Ctiin-ss, and there fore no further iKliti"al tinkering with the lui-im-ss interims f tlie cmntrv. Tins is a good time fir the Iieptihli eati party to proe-el slowly ami with a fixed determination to let the Demo crats fro on making all of the mistakes. TunreiMirts from various localities how that the winter has Uvn favora l!e to wheat, whieh is to say tliat it has Uvn wry different from IX-niocratk: rule. Till: main feature of the Dein.K-ratie financial iliey is to lie found in the f.i-t thai il increases the pulli! deht without jiroviding any means of payment. Tin: only thing to he said in jusfifi eatioii of the apjiointiiieiit of Mr. Wil so'i as Iisl master ("t-nt-ral is that it puts him u h-re he can't do any more tinkering with the tariff. It is a go-id gj'.s tiiat the hill pro viding f. ir another edition of tlie "Itinls of IVnnsylvania" will fail of Kxtetttive approval. It is now in tlie hands of tlie I ivernor, who is In-coining an ad.-pt in writing wtocs. llv a majority of 17IW Centre county voters have divided against huihiingan almshouse in that canity. They prefer to adhere to the old, li-ss etleetive and more expensive way of having the mr taken care of hy overseers sclec'.-.-d by the districts. A Kll.l. has lieeii olh rcd in the Leg islature to create a middle penitentiary district, including the counties from tlie New York to the Maryland line and 'amiiria county m tlie west and 'timlx ri.uid and I.-.-liunoii on the east. The hill provides that the j-nitent:ary shall lie in the vicinitv of Harrir.hu rg. Tin: Women's National Council, in clo-'mg up its work at Washington, last week, urged the arbitration if all disputes lietween la! r and capital, and aetimlly If -fullen the country, ll'it the IVinoeraile ma'oritv was not even ca pable of allowing itself to lie helped and saved. Month after month it wrangled and floundered, sinking deep er asid deeier into the mire, while bus iness went to ruin and the whole Na tion suflered as it had not lfore in a generation. IirtialU-rescued at last in si.ite of itself, this proud and paissant party next essayed the work of tariif reform. That was the tiling for which it had lieen crving for many a year. That was "its one great war cry, its chief stock-in-trade, its very reason for exist ence. And, after weary months of haggling and johliery, what a mess it made of it ! It formally repudiated every alleged principle, it ever had. It branded as a lie the platform u-miii which it had come into jiower. And it gave to the Nation at last, as the con summate product of its liest thought, maturest dclilicralion and rijiest states manship, a foul and formless thing which its own chosen leader declared to lie an act of "jierfidy and dishonor." I jKin .the third scene in this tragic travesty the curtain has just fallen ; in whieh once more the Democratic ma jority alijcctly lieggoi inip irom us foes, and succeeded i:i making for itself a record of brutish ignorance and crim inal disregard of the public weal for which even its own annals can scarcely furnLvh a parallel. These are but three great salient fea tures of domestic maladministration. Abroad, the party, or its chief, at one jxiint pursued a coursethat will forever lie fittingly known as a "policy of in faniv." At another point it was weak unto abject cowardice. At a third it went out of its way to insult a friendly Power, and then lasely surrendered its own wards to lie tortured death by savages. Against the weak it blis tered; U'fore the strong it cringed. And in almost every quarter of the glolie it studiously coi.trived to cripple American trade ami secure tiie closing of market doors against American g'Nhls, lietwecn these ''leading situa tions," at home and abroad, it kept tip a constant byplay of Incapacity that would seem prcjiosti rotts were it not crimina', and wouM be amusing were, it not detestable. Only two years ! Hut what a two years for self-respect ing, country-loving Americans to look back upon ! Never did a party assume more sibs--lute power, with a clearer field liefore it, than did the Democracy two years ago. Never was a party dismissed from public service in circumstances of greater ignominy and detestation than is the Democracy to-day. As for the blame of it, vln shall tell where it i to lie plai-ed ? The ".'resident charges it against the Congress which he h:: "had on his hands," and a large fac tion in that Congress chames it air.iii demanded that the (uivernmciit t-ha'.l i the iompoiis a'.itocr.it who has striven pay c j :.d wages for equal work, re gardless of sex, and shall hold women - equally eligible with men for competi tive examination-. CofNTs are pretty high priced, ac cording to the latest market quotations. Miss Anna iould, who was married in New York, yesterday, is said to have paid the Count de Casteilane s2,0 J,n Ij when he became her husband. .vhe c .mid have found many a U-tter fellow, but without the title, who would have married her for merely his Uiarding and clothing. Mx-;ivKi'.Noit Tii.i.max, the South Carolina l'opulist, says that Cleveland's liiian.-ial joilicy has paiiM-ried the cot ton growers. And the cotton growers are not the only ones who feel jiovcrty's sharp pinch through Cleveland's fool financiering. There are thousands of manufacturers and workinguicn in the North w ho are not doing anything now simply because tlie country has Isvu demoraliil by the Administra tion. And we cannot hope fr any change for the U-tter until Cleveland steps dovrn and cut an-1 a llcpublieau iidmiuistnition sueeecds him. Tin: Normal Shouls of this State ought to be self-sustaining, but from all accounts they are not, and they have U-eii getting a nice w hack at the State funds, I u the last live years, ac cording to a communication submitted to the Senate by State Treasurer Jaek s .in, the Normal Schools have received I,'..i:;,.r,ii.l, of w hich 7i;7,i;o was for imimivcliieiits. This year they are asking tlie Mate to give them fsim,(ni(i, which is altogether too much of a fat plum to dole out to institutions that o igiit to lie able to take care of them s -Ives. They do not give free scho'ar shijis, and they charge for everything. Splendidly equipped with almost ever ything that goes with a modern college or university, thvse Normal Schools should attract stitlii-ient patronage to p it them on a paying basis, but year after year they come to the State and hold out their hats for more. The pres ent legislature, with (iovernor lias ting's warning to go slow on appropri ating money, will hardly deal out Ns.i;i,Mof the State's cash to these cllools. Tv years ago the Democratic party t ik control of all departments of the National Jovcrnuient. It had cap tured the White J louse and Imth wings of the Capitol. For the first time in ti.irty-iour years it fi.-ul it in its power to govern the country according to its wn unchecked will. And just that it prop.ised to do. Its tone was grand and lofty. " We are the people !" cried its spokesmen. "We ask no oll of " anybody. We have arrived, and we " have come to stay." llcpuhlicans were explicitly and cmphatii-ally told that they must take hack seats. Noth ing w as wanted from them but silence, "and little of that." They need offer no suggestions, even. If they did, they would not be heeded. The glorious old Democratic party, the jiarty of Jeffer son, and Jackson, and Cleveland spare the mark! was in the saddle once more, and was going to run things in its own swei t way. Iloiip-la ! Clear the track ! Two years ago, that was, March 4, to exalt his juTocial jmlicy almve the Constitution itself. At one lime, with a -errain pig-headed Tightness, the I'n-siiieiit has sought Hepitblican aid in checking the madiM-ss of the "wild horses" at the Capitol. At another, the least bad element of t lie .Democracy in Congress has l-.oked to the same source for aid in thwarting the White House "policy of infamy." 1'rtVnlent and Cabinet, Senators and Ih-presenta- tives, all are tarretl with the samestiek. A great thnnig of the latter How step down and out of the Capitol, amid the Nation's mingled feelings of reii- f and contempt. The former, by virtue of the quadrenniuiii, remain to vex the land fir two years more. Cpon them liotli uiike comes to-ilav the N;.t:o'i s sternest condemnation: "Ye are all unprofitable servants." Two vears of Ii-iiio-ratic government ; but they are ende.1 at last, th:-nk Heaven! And t!ie country will not want their like again for two full generations. A". 3. Tritium . Four Sore 3av oi Grover.

AeurioiiHand novel law rase was ar gued before an auditor at Miillintown on Saturdiiy, Is ing an iv h-) of the famous Carpenter murder trial of about a year ago. It w ill lie remeiniiereii mat James J. Carpenter, a Mind man living at Port Itoyal, Juniata county, was found bnital- lr murdered and his body thrown into the Tuscarora creek, in December, Istrk His sin, James Ik Carpenter, mid his w ife, Hettif Carrnter, were susectel of and amwted for the crime. A blood stained iMitcher knife and heavy hickory bludgeon, which now hang on the walls of the district attorney's office, were found to have been the instruments used in the horrible crime. Within two months such a web of cir cumstantial evidence was woven about the wife ami sou that the conviction of ImiIIi seemed probable, but nut of a feel ing of mercy, the wife was left oil' w ith a plea of "ai-cesHory after the fact," while the son wits convicted of murder in the first degreo and has been hanged, the mother at present undergoing imprison ment in the penitentiary. For tha purpose of their defense the woman and her son transferred the prop erty of their victim to their lawyers as compensation for their services in defend ing them. In the distribution of the es tate, however, the point has been raised for the first time in this commonwealth, that the heir w ho commits murder can not inherit from the murdered ancestor. The question e.'.me up liefore Ceorge Parker, a menilier of the Juniata county bar, sitting as auditor, to distribute the estate among the claimants. Kx-Jisdge Joseph C. Itucher, w ho was senior coun sel for the defense at the murder trial, claimed the estate for the attorneys to w hom it had !-cen transferred, and cx Attorncy Ceneral W. C. Hensel appeared on behalf of the collateral heirs, some of whom live in Lancaster county, and oth ers are scattered throughout the west. lull ing the progn-ss of the argument it was admitted by counsel representing the respective parties to the ontroversy that the question was olio which had nev er arisen in Pennsylvania, and which probably had never been anticipated by its law-makers. It w:is likewise agreed that the law slum 1-1 be that the parricide could not take the estate of the murdered father and that the ife should not take any portion of the estate of the husband whom she helped to murder. Uut it was contended by Ju Ige P.ucherthat, in the present state of the law, its literal con struction demanded that the estate should lie distributed under the intestate laws, without regard to the eireti instances of the death of the ihs-edcut. For tie? other side Mr. Hensel cited the famous case, ef Mrs. Maybrick, in F.ig land, against w houi th? court of Q n-en's bench deeided that she was not entitled to the insurance money on her husband, liecausc she had produced bis death by poisoning; also, the case of Itiggs agaiie-t rainier, m ev. lor!;, in whn ti a major ity of the coti rt h -ld that a person could not take by inheritance the estate of the person whom In- murders for thepurmse of removing the lii'-i that stands bet wet him nil 1 the estate. This case has :.! been followed originally bv the Nebraska supreme iurl in a case occurring in 111 it commonwealth. A c r.irt in :it:ri Canada, had likewise held the same. On the other hand. Judge Itucher showed that in a case in North Carolina it had li- en held tha: the in ir-'.-r by w ife of h'-r hii--baii I did not defeat lu right of dower; in i ihioa son was allow ed to take the estate of his fat her, w hom h murdered ; and in the Nebraska ciise the supreme court heard a re argument and after three years, reversed its form opinion and abandoned the doctrine laid down in Fuglaiid and in the New York court. In reply Mr. Hensel contended that the first Nebraska decision was entitled to as much weight as the second : and that the Armstrong case, in the L'niteil States supreme court, the d--trine or rational interpretation had prevailed to e.stabli the principle that, not withst in ling the letter of contract or statute, a-i li-'ir for i-'iieii an rig. its w ii-n, to (ice ire the in liei-iia'i'-e, he murdered the ancestor. It is expected that theuudit-ir will make his report within a few weeks and that if the parties so determine, tiie ease w ill re ich the supreme court in Mav, w here its argument and division will 1 awaited with much interest, as involving a point of law which must Ik- tine of lirst impres sions in Femisylvania, and upon whi the courts of other itates and countries have thus far bccii divid;-d.

The lioldest train robliery ever committed in the Sta.e took place near this city last evening. 15 armed men holding up the Houston A Texas Central Express. The bandits cut loose the express and ajfgage cars from the engine and forced Engineer Totn Averett to run north two or thre miles. Taere they tipie1and compelled the express messenger to opeii the express car an-1 admit them. They plundered the safe, taking up a number of packages Af-.erthey had finished with the car they shot out the headlight and other illuminations and told the engineer he eon Id go back. They then Mattered to the timbers of White Rock Cr W Bottoms where it is presumed they had comrades and horses in wailing. In running b.u k to the train Engineer A reret: hail no lights or signals to sruido him and he crashed into the car. smashing cr era! sets of bumpers. The passengers had hidden their cflects under end about the aeats. The shock 1 1 the car sent watches, moner and mis. llano ins valuables jingling and fil tering around the floor. i H Tills tli a Stato Legislators tht Econo my Mutt be rraoticed. The following message from Covernor Hastings was read last Tuesday in lmth Houses of the State legislature: Availing myself of the provisions of Section II of the Fourth Article of the Constitution, which declares that the Ex ecutive shall from time to time give to the Oencral Assemblr information of the state of the Commonwealth ami ns-om- mend to their consideration such meas ures as he may judge expedient, I desire to call your attention to the financial con till i.-u of the Commonwealth at the pres ent lime. The total funded debt on the first day of January, IXC, was fi,Si,ii)!. lis; amount in sinking fund, $d,: ';..!; unexpended tialanee in the Treo.su ry gen eral fund, Si, !-S tiS.'t. The fis.-.d ollii-ers of the State the Auditor Cener.il and State Treasurer have furnished me with a careful estimate of the revenues w hich may lie expected for the current year. The estimate is that U10 revenue for the present year and the year follow dug w ill not exi-eed y.i,4Vi,72o per annum. From my own investigation of the suli ject, I am forced to the conclusion that the calculation is a Ii!cral one. The same officers have also made a comparative es timate of the amount of money required to defray the necessary and ordinary ex pense. of the State establishment for the the current year. The estimate includes the support of the charitable and penal institutions maintained w holly or in part by the State and the .i,."iO:i,oiXI for the suji poi t of the Public Schools. According to the estimate the sum of i,.i;,ii ill required for each of the next two years. I am desirous, as I am sure all good citi zens are, that the expenditures of the State should not exceed the revenues. I am firmly convinced that the strictest economy should lie pradii-ed in the ap propriation of money until the State and country are relieved from the pr'-sent fi nancial embarrassment; until the condi tions improve so that the people may be permitted to resume their wanted avoca tions and until theopportuniiy shall come again to nil to earn a competent living, not a dollar should is- expended Is-yond that which will fairly and reasonably maintain the State establishment. I am sure your judgment will approve- the practice o! that c-onomy on the part of the State which we w itness 011 all sitli-s among her citizens to bring the expenses within the income. The increase of our population and the growth an-1 develop ment of our material and business inter ests of nis-essity in. -re ise the volume of business between the citizen and the sev eral executive departments. If the prompt and adequate transaction of tha business of the State demands in creased clerical assistance, it should not, in my judgment, be w ithheld, but theon ly rcas-iu fur additional clerical force in ::ny department should be that of neces sity. Daring recent yiiirs 111 some or the departments the clerical force has 1m-( 11 temporarily increased, h:it liei-ause of no spcciuc appropriations their compensa tion has been paid out of the several fun-Is created f-r contingent expenses. yiy attention has Ih-oii called to several enactments by your honorable bodies an-1 other proposed enactments, w hich create additional offices. The Department of Ranking, by your w ise legislation, lately enlarged and adjusted to the proper su pervision of all State financial institu tions provides its own independent reve nues, relieving the State not only from an additional cost, but from the former c x-peii-e of supporting th' department out of the Treasury. As to pr. posi-d legisla tion involving the creation of additional oilii-es, it is not my province or purpose to forestall legislative action. I may, h-nvevi-r, express the opinion that no otliee In-aring a salary should be created, unless there is absol.it 1. : v Jsi ty thereof, lint in cases where necessity exists, it would be falsi1 economy, in my judgment, to cripple the administrative efficiency by permitting the payment of such neci-ssary help out of funds created to meet only the contingent requirements of the several departments. The representatives of the people hav ing in charge the great interests of the Common wealth legislative, executive, judicial, educational, agricultural, manu facturing and commercial should, and I have no doubt will, exercise that true spirit of economy which has for its pur pose th.? prudent ciro of every interest w ithin the lio-.mds of the State. This true economy cm be-t lie conserved by your honorable b idies in sn-di wise and prudent appropriation of money as will hold the expenses of the Commonwealth within her revenues.
