Makylaxd's new Governor, Lloyd l.oundes, of CumWrlaiid, was duly in augurated on Wednesday last. He is the first Itepuhliean povernortliat state has l.a 1 in the last thirty years. Si-:x atok She.nian sums up the pres ent situation and the remedy in a single short sviiteiice: "Borrow money now on the lest terms obtainable and pre vent future difficulties hy increased in comes." Di king lv.t-'i the United States built only 1.72 miles of railway. That is the'tfiiiallest work in this line for over t wenty-five years. We have now 11, (Mtci miles of railroads in the United States. Tiik millers of this country are los ing f l;,rKi,(i a year on account of the nuashiiiiiof the reciprocity policy by a Democratic Congress. It is easy to un derstand, therefor, why they are mostly ItrpuMicaiis. The Suite of MaUima has cont racted to build a large cotton factory in the penitentiary to Ik; worked by convicts. That wi'.I W- much letter than the old system of hiring out convicts, which has so long disj-raivd the state. 1 1 v,,r have an income of one dollar a week, and spend ten dollars, you can't m tke b;ih ends meet at the do of the year. This is what IV-ino-cratic finuiirkrs are now trying to ac complish. Ci.KVKI.axh and Carlisle want the rr.-:ibacks retired U-cause they are re dccmalile in gold, and, therefore, make a deficit in the treasury. If that were true, they would have played the deuce long ago, when gold was in much greater demand. 1:x;kaxi has added ships so rapid ly to her navy that the supply of sail ors has run short When the Magni ficent and Majestic were put into com mission recently crews were taken from other ships, which will now be manned with inexperienced seamen. Six-KKTAKY Morton is giving out some interesting figures regarding dead sheep. He lays it to "sheep-killing dogs," The idea that dogs slaughtered f"1,! .ki,ojJ worth of mutton in cute year :s a pretty big joke to come from mod ern tarill" reformers. It is saii that a firm at Knoxville, T. Tin., has contracted to furnish a large supply of dried apples to the! rman army. With the addition of a Uwinti fui supply of water, the cmieror will KMtu have a swell army, rcadj to take tlie field against his enemies. Axkxt the stories that (iovcrnor Hastings is critically ill, in fact, in a dying condition, Attorney General Mc- "ormick telegrapheil, on Thursday last; from Hot Springs, that the Governor lias entirclv recovered from tlie severe cld he had when leaving Harrisburg, und daily rides fifteen niiles on horsc hack. This is near the end of the nineteenth century. Had there Uvn one-half the friction there is now one hundred years ago, all 1'urojK? and perhajw America would have lieen tigliting. Tlie fact is, the nations of the earth arc wiser than they were. There is not so much glory in war when the contending armies stand from one to live miles apart and deal out death. It is evident that the Venezuelan Commission does not propose to do its work hurriedly, and this jiolicy will le approved by the country. The issues involved are of vital importance, anil should le considered in a delilier&te and painstaking way, with a view to arriving at a conclusion that the Gov ernment ran safely stand upon, evt n to the extent of going to war for its maintenance. If tiik government really wants the now loan to be taken by the jicoplc, why don't it fix an upset price on the l.onds, and give every one a chance to take them at that rate ? Instead of this easily understood plan, it advertises for I .ids for them, les interest for ayiar, and such other time a they an? deliv erable. Tlie plain people, as Mr. Lin coln d vied them, are not conversant with brokers' methods of discounting fractions, and are therefore at a iih ad vantage, and the probabilities are that a syndicate of moneyed men and bank ers will secure them. A plain proposi tion to sell them at a tixed pric?, say at I.S or J !. 10, would instantly call forth purchasers all over the country; but citixns with a few hundred or a few thousand dollars to invest have no h'kw bidding against capitalists controiing millions, to whom the frac tion of a cent on the whole loan f ltV, km, means a large profit. The nrvoii is in itself credible, though it comes through a quesliona li'e medium, fays the Chicago Inter i,t, that the President of Oie South African Itepublic has asked the Presi 1 -lit of the United States for the moral tu;p.rt of the greater rejHililie during the struggle of the lesser one for the maintenance of its rights. Tiie people of the Unite.! Stat 's will answer in advance of the President. Tlie sympathies of tin Unite! States sre with all republic throughout the vorld, an I tlie effort of any or all of them to resist the intervention of mon archical powers will le approved by the people of the United States. The United States rejohvs that the Keith African llepuhlie has expelled the I'.ritish invaders. It rejoices not lie c ! it is unfriendly to Great Britain, b it bi-cattse it is concerned in the main tenance and spread of the republican H.-a. The Unite.! States is glad that the republican cause in Africa is under guidance of shrtwd heads and under protection of strong arms and brave licarts. Get Wife For SO Cents. Snw Su.k. Pa., iau. 10.

OXE MOKE STAB, Th Preiident'i Proclamatioa Admit Utah to Statehood. The formal admission of UUh a the forty-fifth state in the Union, which was consummated by the president's proclamation on Saturday, important as it is in itself, is of immediate signifi cance in its relation to the question or political supremacy in Washington. Utah will send two Republicans to the United States Senate, This is a result which was hardly looked for at the time it was decided to confer upon the territory the benefits of statehood. The territory has for many years leen Democratic in polities and it was supposed that when it was admitted as a state, it would be just so much of an addition to the Heiiioeratic strength in Congress and in the electoral college. The result shows how little reliance can 1 placed uioti apparent iolili-al certainties, for Utah comes into the Union us a Kenublican state, and it now apivears that the conditions there are such as to keep it in the Republican column for a long time to come. It is a protection com munity. Such prosperity as has come to it has been built up on protection lines, and in national polities it is safe to say that hereafter its representatives will be found artinc with the party of protection at the national capital. TWO NEW SEXATOBS, Onoof the first acts of the Utah leg islature will be to elect two United States Senators, One of those will be a "Gentile," the other a Mormon, but whatever their religious affiliation, both will le Re publicans. The significance of this in its U-ariwr unon the political control ol me Senate requires exact statement. There are now forty-tw o Kepu niiean Senators out of a total uieiuliership of eighty-seven. With the two new sena tors from Utah there will bo forty-four Hennblicans out of a total memliersuip of eighty-nine, and there will le one vacanev caused bv the dispute in regard to the Delaware election. With forty- f .ur Senators the Republicans will still be in a minority of one. P.ut when the Delaware case comes up for decision there is no doubt that the Republicans will lie able count upon the votes of Stew art and Jones, jiossilily of Puller and Ihitlor, also, to seat. Colonel Du Pont, who claims to have been legal ly elected by the Delaware legislature as the successor to Senator Higgins. This will give the Republicans exactly one half of the Senate, The admission of Utah into the Union of states requires the addition of another star to the American flag. Although Utah is now a full-fledged state, the change in 'ld Glory" will not lie. made until July 4 next. On and after that date there will 1 officially forty-five stars in the national ensign, being nearly three and a half times the number of the original states. The most important re quirements in the legal admission of UUh have been fulfilled, but there are a uumlier of formalities yet to be olwervcd. One of these is an executive order to the army and navy, announcing the addition of another star to the national flag. This order will take efiect July 4, li. The official arrangement of the stars and of the stripes in the flag is in charge of a special !oard of army and navy officers. While it has not yet leen offi cially decided, it is more than probable that the new star will be added to the fifth row from the top. This addition, it is said, will make the appearance of the union even more symmetrical than it is at present. There are now six rows of stars in the union, the top and bottom rows lieing e;-h eoiiiosed of eight stars and the o:her four of seven stars each. In case of ths admission of another state, its star wjuld lie added to the second row, thu m ikiiig the top two rows aud the bottom two rows harmonize completely. Tooi Awiy the Groom. Reamxo, Pa., Jan. 8. Miss Mary X. Smith, of Philadelphia, has employed counsel to bring suit for damages against Jesse Davies, of this city, for refusing to keep his promise to marry her. The circumstances of the case are unu su il. Miss Smith and Davies were for merly man and wife. After marriage she disvered that he had a wooden leg, and for that reason left him. They were sjliseqiiently divorced. After remaining apart for several years a new courtship w.cs gone through with, an engagement e ite:cl into and last Sunday was fixed for the marriage. They started together for the clergyman's but were met on the way by Mr. Davies brother, who object ed violently, and to pacify him they pre tend -d that the ceremony was oif. Iater they made? another attempt to go to the clergyman and were again met by th i brother and ujon the third attempt he took the groom away, leaving the brii'e deserted. She frequently saw Davies and endeavored to have him car ry out his agreement, but he sai l li.j had lieen persuade ! by his brother not to marry. Under these circtiiiKtanees she will bring suit f;r breach of promise and against the brother for alshicting her iu tende.l hus! iar.il. A Great Say. Axxacoi.is M l., Jan. S. lion.

At llansomville, this afternoon, Roliert Clapsaddle, an aged farmer, was brutally murdered by his profligate former son-in-law, George H. Smith, and three hours later a posse riddled the assasiu's body with bullets. About three years ago Smith's disso lute habits and brutality caused his wife to obtain a separation from him. Smith nursed the idea that Clapsaddle hail in duced his daughter to make this move, and just after tho separation proceed ings were begun, he licat tho old farmer in a bnital manner. Smith was sent to prison three times for this and other offenses but the terms of his confinement were short. About IS months ago, Mrs. Smith, who had secured a divorce, married John DeClutc, a farmer living alxmt four miles from the Clapsaddle house. Smith sworo revenge upon old man Clapsaddle for alienating his wife's affections but not long after Smith was convicted of perjury in swearing falsely against Parmer John Moore, whom he charged with smuggling Chinamen into this country, and he was sent to prison for a year. As lie was taken from court he swore to kill Clapsaddle when ho re gained his lilierty. His term expired Xo veinber 1 last, and since that time ho has lived a vagrant's life. Karly this afternoon Smith went to the house of his father-in-law, whom ho found reading a paper, and without a word of warning fired a bullet into Clapsaddle' s head, killing him instantly. The murderer then Hod across tho fields. The alarm was soon given and a isisse of over GO men, headed by a deputy shcritr and a constable, started in pur suit. Smith's course lay in the direction of DcClute's house and the posse fearing that he meditated further murders hur ried in that direction. They had gone about two and a half miles when Smith was sighted about a quarter of a mile from DcClute's house. When tho mur derer saw the posse closing in upon him, he changed his direction and sped toward tho house of a farmer named Prown, which he reached just as the xssc came up. Turning in the doorway of the house Smith lired a s'.iot at his pursuers shout ing: "The first man who follows me in here will lie killed." The posse surrounded the house and Farmer Drown came out and told them Smith was scereted in a clothes press which had a window looking upon the yard. A rush was made for this win dow, bnt Smith, thrusting his arm out of the opening, lired another shot, which broke the arm of Klmer Clapsaddle, a relative of the murdered man, and the crowd drew back. Deputy Sherilf Wolf called upon the murderer to surrender but receiving no resjonse and fearing that Smith was preparing for another attack, he ordered the posse to tire. The wore of riiles and shotguns rang out and poured their con tents into the wall of the house. The sound of a falling liody and a groan fol lowed the volley and the posse entering the house, found Smith on the floor, bleeding from a dozen wounds and unconscious. He was brought to Ransom villo where he died late to-night. Farmer Clapsaddle was one of the most respected men in Xiagara county. A Family Almost Cremated. Sti-rueox Ray, Wis., Jan. 12. Fire in the residence of Ranker James Keogh early this morning came near resulting in a wholesale cremation. As it was four members of the family and the domestic were Uadly burned and one severely cut with glass. Mrs. Keogh was ill, aud the shtx-k and burns she received, it is feared, will cause her death. Mr. Keogh saved four children by heroic dashes through the flames. Upstairs were two daughters. When awakened, the downstairs part of the house was ablaze, but one of the girls rushed down and out of doors receiving only slight injuries. The other feared to follow her aud broke the w indow to call for aid. Ry this time the young men outside had firmed a human ladder, several high, by standing on each other's shoulders, and were enabled to rescue the distracted girl, who was badly cut aliout the Ixxly in get ting out, lieing clad ouly in her night dress.

Fron the Harrisburg Patriot. "The state of Pennsylvania has almut 7.V"0 miles of public roads on which f l.(K.R) is exicnded annually for re pairs" said Secretary of Agriculture F.dgo to a representative of the litrint. "These roads are practically no better than they were twenty-five years ago, and many think not as good. For this condition of affairs no one is to blame but our farmers. They mend the public roads and regulate the tax an nually levied for road repairs. Hence, it follows that if the duty is not proper ly performed thev alone are responsible, and they can not attribute it to the tariff, free trade, discrimination in freights nor corporations. If the roads are not prop erly repaired and in good condition it is certainly the fault of the taxpayers and the citixens of the townships through which the roads are laid out, "One of the weakest points in the gen eral road system of our state," added Sec retary Edge, "is that it gives to every taxpayer the right to work out his road tax instead of paying it in cash. Under this system fifty cents worth of work pays for one dollar's worth of tax and the traveling public suffers accordingly. The first step in road reform should be to ubolish tho right to work taxes out. Let them lie paid in cash and it will soon 1h found, if practical men aro elected as road snjervisors that fifty cents in cash will go as far as one dollar in work, and that it will not le found difficult to pay one-half the present taxes in cash. The plan has leen tried in somo portions of Pennsylvania and in portions of other states and in every ease has worked well and resulted either in a reduction of tho amount of tho road taxes or lietter roads." Secretary Edge believes the next legis lature ought to appropriate a certain amount of money aud say by law that it will pay one-third of the cost of con structing jMrmanent roads at any time when local taxpayers promise to pay an equal amount. The secretary thinks the counties ought to also pay one-third, so that the cost wold be fairly divided and would fall where it properly belongs. The state taxes aro mainly paid by cor porations which pay no road taxes, and this plan would ensure their aid. Secretary Edge says the promised law should not undertake to define too close ly the meaning of a permanent road. Something of this should lie left to the hs-al taxpayer and to a state officer who will protect the interest of the state. The local taxpayer will look out for the interest of the county and township, for he pays taxes in lmth, and thus all interests could readily Iks guarded and protected from fraud. "I am not disjiosed to say that the state, county anil township," continued the secretary, "should each pay one-third, but let tho cost lc apiirtioni-d among them under somo equitable rule. To my mind ore-third to each would be just to all and would distribute the cost about as it should lie distributed. The system of lmiiding the township is not a just one, for under it the capital w hich pays no roud tax and the county pay nothing of the expense, when, in fact, Isilh arc almut equally interested in the improve ment. The burden is too heavy for the township to assume, and it should be more evenly distributed. "There is another feature which should tiy 110 means be lost sight of. The rail roads aro interested in having their pa trons reach their depots easily whether they come to travel over the lino or to send freight over it. I will venture the assertion that if stone has to be hai.led from one point to another along their lines they will contribute their share, in addition to their proportion of the state taxes, by hauling at a lower rate than is charged for other freight." All Farmers Kay Unite. An important invitation to all agricult ural and horticultural sK-icties and kin dred organizations has lieen extended by John Hamilton, the Deputy Secretary of Agriculture and Director of Farmers' Institutes, in his roiort to the Department of Agriculture. He asks each such lsly to appoint one memlicr to meet with a lmard of institute managers in each coun ty, the local niemlHT of the State Board of Agriculture presiding, and all to unite in means to make farming pay. So granges alliances and all organizations will hereafter lie represented in the man agement of these institutes. Professor Hamilton discusses at some length the causes of the depression of the agricultural industry, which is gradually crowding men out of the eauntry, and is sending them to the towns and cities to struggle for existence. He says the De partment of Agriculture has lieen estal lishcd and equipped with a view of ascertaining how tho hard conditions that have come can lie relieved, anil this fjinidation occupation restored to its former prosjterity and thrift. The cost of the fertiliz dioii of the farms in Pennsylvania and the development of the virgin soils of the far West are men tioned as anion; the chief causes of loss to the farmers of this State. The growth if cities, together with the development .f manufacturing and other industries h is als.o brought alieut a rise in tho price of lalmr upon w hich agricultme is de pendent. There is also the uncertainty of the limatc occasioned by the clearing off of our forests and the consequent inter ference wish the water supply, as well as the danger from sudden HimkI. The growth of great tnists which manipulate the sale of farm products is also one of the evils complained of. Lack of knowledge of what is now demanded of the farmer is another reas.ui for tlie present uphill experience of the agricul turists, and to remedy this a far as pos- jsi'jlc the Department of Institutes has been organized. The services of trained 1 men will be secured to disseminate the proper information through institutes. A Pi3tol in the Judge's Desk. Ciiattaxoooa, Tenn., Jan. 10.

Itemi of Interest The Statehood Convention at Oklaho ma, o. T., broke up in a row on ai-count of the local rivalry of the delegates. Burglars robbed Edward Welch at his home in H.Mton, Kan., and then cutoff his left hand, which they carried away.
