Tiik occasional failure of a Imdly managed liank does not change the fact that every form of honestly con- dm-tcd business is gradually improving. While New York is popularly re garded as t!e financial center of the ouutry, IJostoa has at least a dozen more hanking iastitulious than has Cioiharu. Josi:rH li. McCcixaoh, editor of the St. Louis J lobe-Democrat, commit ted suicide in that city on Thursday by jumping from a third story window of his residence. The recent bank failures are not due to had bauking laws, hut to the fla grant violation of good laws. A bank can not succeed when the resources are all loaned to its oi'ieers and directors. Thk I'Asr year will long be remem bered on account of the great victory in favor of the gold standard, and the present one will be equally remarkable far the restoration of good times under Republican rule. It ai'p::ii to ha settled that Mr. Diugley is not to be a uiciuler of the MclCinley Cabinet; and it is much eas ier, by the way, to get that sort of in formation than to find out the names of men who an- certain to lie appointed.

There is a plan before Congress to introduce a thousand bicycles into the regular army, each of the forts and military stations to have at least ten riders fully equipped for service when rapid transit is required. Jen. Miles, it is said, is enthusiastically in favor of trying the experiment. One ok the Boston papers hopes to fi-.-e the day when cities will be chim neyless, and light, heat and power dis tributed from plants in the suburbs, lint if there should be a break in the current, a chimney and an open grate would be a mighty handy reserve in a house to tide over the time of repairs. Mk. William Jennings Bryan has struck his proper gait, and it is much slower than the pace he was traveling a few weeks ago when the people lifted up their voices in protest against the waste of so much raw material in the , way of wind. His lecture tour having proved a dismal failure and a losing venture for the enterprising manager who thought he had a good thing in William, the ex-candidate for the Pres idency has suicided and will eventually get back to earth again. Flying is very nice, William, but it is the lighting that gives one all the trouble. E.v.-Sexatk EttMrxiisof Vermont, is about a good a constitutional lawyer as there is in the country, and he de clares that "to recognize as a separate and indeiiendent state anything so mythical as the Republic of Cuba would put this country in a very unde sirable position, and one in which no civilized nation would like to be plac ed." It is very well, he goes on to say, for us to "pity the condition of the peo ple and deplore the atrocities that are lining committed," but that is as much a we can afford to do, as a self-respecting nation, under existing circumstan ces. Secretary Francis, in his r port for the Interior Department, expresses the opinion that if the rate of disposi tion of public lands in this country is continued for the next thirteen years, there will lie little of the public domain left outside of Alaska Tt-it Alaska is a vast domain i.i i.s.-lf, and probably by the time other land is exhausted, modern invention and development will make Alaska as readily accessible and as desirable as ttrvjh of the land that has already btn disposed of.

Consider a RLE bitterness lias lieen displayed in the preliminary skirmish ing of the Senatorial contest in this State, says the Harrisburg Telegraph. There is no excuse for publie mn losing their heads and engaging in personal i tie for which they will be sorry when it is all over. Politics is a game at which many play, and, as both sides eaa not win, one or the other must pre pare for defeat.. Attacks upon charac ter, cowardly insinuations an I myste ries threatening will do neither side any good. A dignified, manly course is the one to pursue, and when the smoke of the little has cleared away, there will le fewer regrets and apol ogies. Til e House caucus held at Ilarrisburg Monday evening has practically settled tlie coutest between Senator Boies Pen rose and Hon. John Wauamaker as to which shall succeed Hon. J. D. Cam. erou as a mcmlier of the United States Senate from Pennsylvania. The Iiue up was had on the chairmanship of the caucus. Perry M. Lytle was the Ten nose, and Ward It. Bliss the Wanama ker candidate, the former defeating the latter by a vote of ti3 to 71. The Pen rose lead will be greatly increased in the. joint caucus by Senators aud Mem bers, when it is probable that Senator Quay's estimate of loOfor Penrose to( for Wauamaker will be found to le uot far out of the way. Even should the Wauamaker adherents refuse to go into caucus or to be liound by the decision of the caucus, they can not, by com bining with the DemocraU, defeat Pen rose, who has a clear majority of the combined vote of both Houses. Hon. Henry K. lioyer, of Philadel phia, wr s unanimously nominated for Speaker of the House; Jere. B. liex, of Huntingdon county, was nominated without opposition for Chief Clerk, as was A. I). Fetlerolf, of Montgomery county, for Resident Clerk. Represent ative Miller, of Somerset county, was made a niernlier of the House Slate committee. An adjournment will prob ably be had to-day until Monday, iMh, when a United States Senator, iu the person of Mr. Penrose, will be formally elected. At Buckner't Expense. From the Savannah News. Christmas, KW, was a red letter day in the annals of Iudley township, Haskell county, Kansas. Dudley township on November 3 last lifted itself by the boot straps into prominence by giving a ma jority in favor of the gold standard Dem ocratic national ticket. It was the omy section, or part of a section, in the whole country which gave a majority to Palmer and l'.uckner. several days after the re sult of the election was known the six Democrats who had voted for Palmer and Htickner put chains upon the four Republicans who had voted for MclCin ley aud drove them about the country, while the two Populist who had voted for Kryan looked on. They made a great celebration of the occasion, the voters on the wrong side seeming to enter into the spirit of thing with as much zest as the voters on the majority side. Hut the grand blow-out for Dudley tow nship came on Christmas, when the twelve voters of the township were enter tained at the expense of General Simon li. Buekner, of Kentucky, whose compli ments were presented to the people of the township through the six Democratic voters. General liuckner, a week or so before Christmas, sent to County Clerk Cave, the leader of the Democratic hosts of Dudley township, '2,'t gallons of the let Kentucky whisky that money could buy tiud a check for fc0, with the request that the six Democratic voters give them selves a Christmas dinner and invito their late opponents to participate in iu Twenty-five gallons of liijuor and a f.V) dinner was more than the population of Dudley township men, women aud children, and dogs could "destroy" iu one day, so a number of friends from ad joining townships were invited to join in the feasting and festivities. Mrs. Mark Akers and Mrs. Sarah Henthorpe M ere appointed a committee of arrangements ; and they provided such a dinner as will lie the talk of Dudley township for years. After the turkey and trimmings were served, the punch dispensed and General Buekner a health drunk in bumpers thereof, the floor was clearej and the groa n folks danced, while the children regaled themselves with gumes. Thus it occurs that at least one town ship in the once rank anti-Southern State of Kansas is ready at a moment's notice to give its unanimous vote in favor of a Southern General for anything that he may desire.

The stroug box or casket containing the securities and title papers of the estate of the late Judge James Gardner, the senior partner in the bank, has been impounded in the Blair canity court to help pay the claims of the de positors.

Keller, of Philadelphia, more commonly known as "Pig Iron" Kelley, made the prediction in the House shortly before his death that it would not be many years lef'M-the cotton growers of the South would ! knocking at the doors of Con gress for a tariff on their product. The prediction came true when W. D. Craig, of Mississippi, representing the cotton growers of the Mississippi Valley, appear ed before the Ways and Means Commit tee and asked that a duty of 3 ceuts ier IHKind be imposed upon Kiiyptian cotton. The imports of foreign cotton, nine-teuths of which comes from Egypt, for the first ten months of this year fci-junted to over So.UOO.friO, an increase of over $1,(KV,oijo over those for the same period of last year. While this may not 6oem large, yet it is not without its etb?ct upon lha home pro duct, and this, with the probabilities of a continued increase, leads to the demand for protection and the consequent fulfill ment of "Pig Iron" Kellcy's prophecy.

TBTISO TO BUY 0VXE LEGISLATORS. A Story of Dif grace. Corruption and Infa mous Conspiracy. Corruption is alleged to run riot In Pennsylvania, through the ambition of a millionaire merchant to sit in the Suuate of the United States. The climax in a long story of numerous attempts to '''j mcmlwrsof the legislature was reacted Thursday in the arrest of E. A. Van Valk eulerg, a well-known state politician, who is in charge of Wanamaker'a quar ters at the Iehicl hotel in Harrisburg. The evidence against Van Valkenburg is furnished by a trained detective, and the details of this story are astonishing be yond measure. The detective in John Tillard, of Altoona. Friends of Boies Penrose have been in possession of the daily reports of this detective since early in October, and knew of the organized efforts of the Wau amaker contingeut to corruptly influence the legislature. It was to these facts, even then in his possession, that Senator Quay referred when he asked Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, in the Senate, not to push his bill for the present providing for the election of United States Senators by the people, as something was likely to develop shortly in Pennsylvania that would have a bearing on the subject. It seems that tho detective in questiou was employed by the Penrose people to tiud out what was going on in the in side of the Wanamaker boom. He suc ceeded in having himself employed by Wanamaker, who introduced him to Van Valkenberg as "one of bis managers." Valkeuberg sulwequently gave the detect ive 1,2 10 to give Dr. X. C. Mackey, a member from Lackawanna county, ex acting from Maekey in return pledge that he would vote for Wanamaker for Senator. This transaction is corrolwrat ed by another dotecti ve, who was in an ad joining room when the money was paid, and also by a photographic reproduction of the pledge which the Doctor gave. In the course of this Maekey deal Van Valk enberg, the detective says, was frequent ly in communication with John Wana maker. He said to the detective : "I am not going to do anything unlawful any more than I can help. I think the end justifies the means, and I would cold bbxxle lly buy a block of Z't members if we had to pay WO.OOO for them. "My peo ple," he continued and he afterwards m on tinned Thomas Dolan's name in this connection "never question my judg ment in matters of this kind, and for this reason I do not wish to pay more than is absolutely necessary. They are always willing to pay any price so they are sure of the goods. Sometimes I say to them that a certain point cau be made for Si,tXm, and I am afterwards obliged to tell them it will take twice that amount ; but they never object if I can assure them it will bring the result. We are doing business ou that basis. We don't object to paying the price, but we want to see tho results. That is why I want to do business with a man like you." Sulrsequently Van Valkeuberg, Tillard says, gave him five Sim bills with which to buy the supjxirt of W. C. Weiss, a member from Schuylkill county. This money the detective marked, and return ed to Van Valkeuberg by registered let ter five other fliKl bills. The detective holds Van Valkeuberg's registry receipt for this, and also for the pledge signed by Dr. Mackey. At the bearing in Pottsville ou Thurs day Van Valkenlerg dodged the charges by giving bail for trial. When he got tiack to Harrisburg he gave out a denial of the detective's story There are, how ever, few people who have read the do tails of the proceedings wty are not im pressed with the probability of the alle gations. It was knowledge of these facts that in duced Senator Quay a few days ago to send the following letter to some of his friends: Dkar Sir: I am sincerely anxious that the attempt in progress to purchase the succession to Senator Lameron snail le defeated, and will be greatly obliged if you will oxiperate to secure the vote of vour members of the House for Boies Penrose. "M. S. Quay." Wedded Her Wounded Wooer. Webster City, Jan. 4. The fact that her lover, Paul Sutton, had just been till ed with buckshot by her father did not deter Mary Hargreave, a pretty girl of 17, from carrying out her intention to marry her choii-e yesterday. Sutton worked for Mary's father, a farmer, as a farmhand, and the farmer's daughter fell in love. Elder Hargreaves did not fancy the in tu-h, but Mary and Paul persisted in love-making. A week ago Paul was dis charge and warned to keep away. Yes terday Sutton called at Hargreave's home and aske I to see his daughter. The olJ man grabbed a shotgun and Uld him to leave. Sutton hesitated, and Hargreave emptied b;th barrels in Sutton's shoul der. Sutton ran to a neighbor, who dressed the wound. Before the task was complete a note came from the young lady express iug sympathy and promising-to meet her lover in any place he might name and be married. The ceremony was performed an hour later at Oakland Valley. Bonnd, Gagged, and Bobbed. Another brutal outrage by robbers in Westmoreland Comity occurred about 1 o'clock Wednesday morning, Mrs. Bar bara Hartman, an aged woman living alono at Penn Station, lieing the victim. Two masked men forced their way into her house, and on being told she had no money, Issat her unmercifully, Iwund and gagged her, and threw heron the floor of an adjoining room. They then searched the place, securing fJ. After several hours' of work Mrs. Uartmaa suececled in freeing herself and arousing tho neighbors, hut the vil lians made good their escape. The old lady is iu a very critical condition, and the chances of her recovery very slight, she being eighty years of age. The guilty parties are believed to be residents of Penn or .Teannettc, and if they are captured will be severely dealt with.

The o!-jKt of his foreign tour is to confer with leading bhnetslllsts in Kuropoon the expedien cy of calling an international bimetallic conference. Senator Wolcott was asked the question as to whether or not ho was going abroad as McKiuley's personal envoy. Ho smiled at the question, but positively de clined to discuss the subject. "You can not expect me to answer that,' was all he could t induced to say. Still, I can say this," ha added. "My conforem-es with foreign bimetallism will be entirely unofficial, and nothing I will say will in any way commit the Ad ministration to any fixed policy. We are looking for information; that is all. The sole object of iny visit will be to sound the Knglish sentiment on the question of international bimetallism and to pro mote, through tho bimetallists of London, the appointment of representatives of the English Government to tho proposed monetary conference. "There has been a great deal of corre spondence of late between bimetallists in this country and the Secretary of the Bimetallic League of London, which en courages us to believe that the calling of another international monetary confer ence in the near future is highly proba ble. "Invitations have been extended to me to visit London for the purpose of con ferring with members of the League." Although Senator Wolcott did not say so in so many words he tacitly admitted that he was also under instructions from the Republiiran Senatorial Caucus Com mittee, aud with the understanding tli:;t he has authority to represent the views of President-elect MeKiuley. A bill has been prepared by the Caucus Committee providing for ho appoint ment b the President of a commis;on to represent tho United Stats in the pro posed money cnnfnreuce. This bill i to le presented to the full Republican Cau cus for approval before lining introduced in the Senate. It confers uon the President tho right to appoint delegates to any conference which may lo called having for its object the re-establishment of bimetallism. It is expo -ted that this bill, and any legislation that may le needed to enforce it, will bo passed dur ing the present session and be approved by President Cleveland. The effect of this will be that when Major McKinley enters ujion his Presi dential duties ho will find all the prelim inary work cleared, and will lie enabled to call a conference and appoint tho del egates on the part of tho United States as soon as he may wish after his inaug uration. Senator Wolcott will return to tho Uni ted States lefore the close of the pr.-sent Congress. Btobbom Faith Curists. Caxtov, ., Jan. 2. Emma Stevens iias leeu judged by the probito court as subject to epileptic fits and ordered sent to an asylum for epileptic. While attending the Church of Jod about two weeks ago Miss Stevens fell in a fit, from which she has never fully recovered. For some time friends would not allow a phy sician to bo called, assorting that the trouble was not a physical ailment, but that she had fallen into a trance from which sho would recover in due time. Tho friends are strong lielievers in the "faith cure." Later it was thought best to have the services of a physician, al though this was done under protest from several relatives of tho young woman. Last Thursday night about midnight she was taken to a creek aud immersed. This caused more trouble. She has !een having several spasms daily, and tiuall y complaint was filed in the court as to the treatment she was receiving. An exami nation was made by tho city physician and Judge Wise ordered ber taken to the asylum. The church people still assert that she does not have epilepsy, the testi mony of physicians notwithstanding. A Woman Pastor Weds. Kalamazoo, Mich., Jan. 1. Rev. Caro line J.

The Greatest Konaroh Is a fit subject for pity if he is troubled with dyspepsia, while his poorest subject who digests properly may well be envied by a prince thus aftlictcd. The dyspeptics of every clime and nation owe a debt of gratitude to Hosteller's Stomach Bitters, which rescues them from one or the most obstinate and troublesome complaints against which medical skill is directed. On this continent, iu Europe and tho tropics, this sterling remedy is pre-emi nently and justly popular, not only as a stomachic, but also as a means of prevent ing and curing malarial, rheumatic, kid ney, bilious and nervous disorders. It improves appetite and sleep, hastens con valescence and the acquisition of vfgor after exhausting maladies, and counter acts the infirmities of ago.

Last evenirg the three little children of Mr. and Mrs. George Duttera, who reside in the coun try about four miles from this place, were suffocated. Mrs. Duttera left heme to see a neighbor, and locked her three small children and a pet dog in the house. When she returned sho discov ered smoke issuing from the house and entering through the front door, sho fell through the floor, which was badly burned. She landed in the cellar. Quick ly crossing to the steps, she aieendel to the first floor, where she found her three little ones with their dog, all bundled to gether in a corner of the room dead. It is supposed that a spark from the stove fell on the carpet, causing a smoth ered fire that soon filled the room with smoke and burned the floor.
