Thk tariff bill will wion 1 put in Mratioii, and in such shape that it can not fail to prove of great benefit to the business interests of the whole country. Fifteen thousand member of the 4 : rand Array of the Republic have peti tioned the legislature of Pennsylvania to prohibit the sale of liquor on Memo rial Day. Ovek two thousand women register ed in Fort tcott, Kansas, and on elec tion day worked hard for their candid ates. All the returns of the casualties are not yet iu. Canadians tureateu a retaliatory tariff. They are at liberty to go ahead, but must give up the idea that 5,nu0,000 Canadians cau shape the legislation of this republic of TO,(iO,OiX. Some of the Democratic. paers are already worried atout the size of the probable surplus under the Dingley bilL The compliment to the Republi cans is neat, though unintentional. The second trial of the Methodist preacher-editor. Dr. Swallow, for libel, nu a charge brought by CapL John C. Delaney, was concluded last Thursday, and resulted iu a verdict of guilty. A iiaxkkcitvy bill that will work fairness t all and injury to none would lie of great Iienefit to the business in terests of the country. Wheu such a bill will be passed by Congress and be come a law remains to lie seen. PitiyinKXT MrKixi-EY is a strong and hearty man. Since he haslecn in the White House he has stood more than one test of physical endurance, and stood it well. He is the right sort of a man for president, with a strong mind in a strong body. Senators Quay and Tenrose each scored a point Monday, the latter in securing the appointment of Mr. Char lemagne Tower, Jr., as Minister to Aus tria, and the former that of ex-Representative Sliallenlterger as Second As sistant Postmaster ( Jeneral. These are the only important appointments that the state which gave President McKin ley 3-yi.OOO majority has received up to date. Hut, "There are others." The blockade which has been estali lished around Crete may lie "pacific" as regards Turkey, but it has not leen that sort of a blockade for !reece, as her sunken vessel of a few days ago discovered. The big powers are fight ing the battles of the "great assassin," as Gladstone calls the Sultan. This is not what the people who pay the taxes to support these governments want, but until the people give a definite answer to the question, "What are they going to do about it?" the governments will ersisL When such a pajer as the Provi dence Journal announces that the cot ton manufacturers of that section have become convinced that the South will take possession of that industry, and that "there Is now a movement to man ufacture goods of which linen is the only or a partial constituent in New Kngland," it is evident that the good times which the South has so long an ticipated will soon be coming, and that with them will lie many millions of New Kngland investment. Thk farmers of the country are likely to find a greatly improved market for their grain iu the near future. The vast shipments of grain abroad In the past few months show an increased de mand for that article by foreign consu mers, and when the new reciprocity feature cf the Dingley bill goes into effect it will give to our grain, as well as other products, such an advantage in tariff rates abroad as to make a mar ket for that enormous production of our agricultural area far in excess of anything ever liefore known. The report that four Democrats in the House three from Louisiana and one from Texas will vote for the tariff b:ll is proliably true. There is a strong likelihood, too, that some Democratic votes will le had for it in the Senate, where they would "count" for more fian they can iu the other branch. In any case, the bill is reasonably sure to get all the votes in the Senate which it needs. The favor which Democratic papers in various parts of the country are showing for the tariff indicates that the measure will go through the Senate without much tronb'. Everything except siiver seems to hi strong in the nnrkets these days. Silver is down close to the lowest pr-int it ever reached, with no sign of an ad vance in sight. Its condition in this respect resembles that of the party which championed it last year that is, the silver coin, like liie silver party, is worth less than half what it pretends to tie worth. Everybody would be glad to see silver twice as high as it is now, yet everybody with brains knows that the party which tried to boom it hurt it That party's extravagances and fol lies destroyed all chances which its in telligent friends ever had of inveigling the country to "do something for sil ver" in the future. The legislature now iu session in Kentucky for the purpose of electing a United States senator does not appear to have learned much from the pre vious struggle. The body was called together for the express purpose of choosing a senator, but a deadlock has been the mult since the first day it met. Owing to the long and unprofit able fight of the former body, the state lias had but one representative in the Senate, but that fact does not seem to disturb the factions, each of which is more interested in electing its man than in combining against the enemy. It has been decided quite often iu re cent years that an appointment of a senator by the governor, when the leg islature failed to do its duty, will not hold in the Senate. That body is the judge of the qualifications of iu mem bers. The recent contests in Oregon and Delaware should be of some valu; to the Kentuckians. There are several contests awaiting disposition by the Senate committee. Owing to the make up of that body at present, it is not pos sible to organize it so that the majority can do business. The Senate has a great deal of im portant mattes before it just now, which the country wants disposed of. The election of a Republican -enatr from Kentucky without further delay is the imperative duty of the legisla ture. It would le a disgrace upon the majority if factional ijuarrels should ojen the way for the return of lllack- burn. The light for sound money in the national cani-a'gn was a hard one in Kentucky, but it was won, ana I'.lackburn and his allies, the free sil- verites, were over. brown, it was hoped at that time, for good. It wasan agree able surprise that the tables were turn ed upon the Democrats in that state. To jeopardize all the fruits of that great victory by continuing a factional uar rcl is folly of the most dangerous sort. That Investigation. From the Harrisburg Telegraph. Those people who were clamoring for an investigation u ukj .-uus irrasuij and Auditor IJenend's Departments hare secured their investigation a very care ful and exhaustive one, by the way and have discovered that the funds of the State are intact, that the State has not lost a cent under the present or any other Suite Treasurer and Auditor General; that the financial system of the State is perfect; that the State Treasurer has work for several more clerks if it bad pay lor them; that the Auditor General, work- in ir al'ine new lines that require a great deal of assistance, has been forced to do his work short-handed, and did it so well that he collected $rti.oro delinquent taxes trom corporations that were woful- ly liehind in their accounts; that while the force iu the department has 1-een increased by the addition of a couple of clerks in the past ten years, yet the num ber of corporations that are now doing business runs into thousands, and it is a matter of constant effort to keep business up to date. The committee found a good many other things that were of moment, lut they did uot find what the people who demanded the investigation wanted and that was that there is crookedness in the handling of the Suite's funds. The ommittce recommends that there bo an increased force in the fnianci.il depart ments, and that there be six depositories of State funds in the State, three in Phil adelphia, two in Allegheny ami tine in tlarrislmrg. each of them to pay two per cent, on all deposits of State funds. That isah.mt the sum and sutistance of the committee's report. If it satisfies the friends of the suite Treasurer and the Auditor General they have no reason to complain, ami if the suspicious people who arc always wanting some kind of an investigation do not like it well, really, it cm not le helped. They will have to get over it the liest way they can. Intelligent Jarors. Ia an article on intelligence in the jury box the Washington Post says: As a sample of the wisest and most pro gressive legislation that the wiuter has produced in any part of the country we select an act passed by the solons of North Dakota. It is a law providing that no person shall lie disqualified as a jury man lecause of having expressed or formed an opinion founded on newspa per reports or rumors. This act will im prove the character of juries in that Ptate by rendering it possible to secure iutel li;ent citizens for jury duty. The plain fact is that every person w ho reads the ne s japers has formed an opinion to any an 1 every important criminal case; but n intelligent person ever has an opinion of such a ease that is fixed tieyond the p iwer of change. "If the facts are as suited in the paers, or by common ruinir," the intelligent citizens thinks "the aiitised is guilty." Hut his mind is in a receptive condition, and ii the evi dence disproves reports and establishes a reasonable doubt, he is ready to avjuit. The law requires that a case shall be dcided according to the evidence pre sented to the jury. The more intelligent the juror, the greater his capacity for free ing his mind from all extraneous in - fl jences and applying to a case none of the reports or rumors that he may have haani. An innocent defendant has less to fear from intelligence than from igno ranee and stolidity in the jiry box. It is th guilty man alm'ist invariable whose counsel tries to sift out the better class of citizens drafted for jury service. a id gets as many ignoraut men as possi ble among the twelve who are to try his client The law of all the states give to persons charged with crime all the ad vantages that are consistent with the safety of society. To permit he lawyers to shut out the reading men, and fill the jury lioxes with men of so low an intel lectual grade that they r.either read nor think, is a policy c.ilcul.ite.1 to foster crime an I create disrespect f r ths c nirts and other cistlv instrumentalities for the dispensation of justice. In the District of Columbia and some the states it has long been the practice of the courts to do substantially what th"s North Dakota law call for. They d not exclude a proposed juror for Lav ing formed an opinion, provided heap- pears to le willing to change it to con form to the evidence. This rule should be universally adopted, fir the condi tions have changed since the old rule was set up. Then scarcely anyb.sly read anything concerning current evenU, for the newspaper was unknown. Vow all men who are fit to sit on a jury read the pajers, and, as we have sid, they form a conditional opinion an opinion that is modified in one or the other direction by every scrap of additional information touching the matter.

A bill was introduced in the house Thursday by Mr. Jeffrie to provide for a building commission to erect a new capi tal. The measure authorizes the govern or, auditor general and slate treasurer, who constitute the commission, to ask for competitive bids and specifications for a modem building from architects citizens anil residents of Pennsylvania, to be submitted w ithin thirty days after it becomes a law. The commission shall elect five of the best plans w hich shall become the property of the state and they shall pay for those selected by di viding one-half of one per cent, of the cost of the building into equal parts and giving to each architect an equal share. From the five plans selo-tod the com mission shall select an architect who shall superintend the erection of the building, for w hich he shall receive four and one-half per cent, of the cost of the building. The commissioners shall ad vertise thirty days for bids for the entire work from builders who are citizens of Pennsylvania. The bids shall be received at a fixed time and shall lie opened in public and scheduled and the contract awarded to tbe lowest responsible bid der, who shall give proper security lor the completion of the work before No vember 1, IS!. The entire work done upon tbe buildin shall lie by citizens of Pennsylvania and all materials so far as possible, used in the construction shall lie secured in Pennsylvania, The cost of erecting the building shall not exceed (1,000,01 to. . A new legislative apportionment bill was introduced by Mr. Patterson, of Blair.

The senatorial patriots con sidered this bill un-American. By a vote of !2 to 7 the house killed a ill increasing the minimum school term in the state trom six to seven monins. This measure has heen lip at every ses sion for ten years and has always been knocked out by the rural uieiuiiers. Twelve years ago the term was increased from five to six months and no legisla tion on this point lias since been enacted. Mr. Hermann, of Snyder, let! the opo- sition yesterday and won after a hard light. The bill was calbsl up for third reading and final passage by Chairman Hammond, of the education committee. . The joint committee appointed to in vestigate the offices of the suite treasurer an! the auditor general made iu report Tuesday. The report practically exoner ates the state treasurer and auditor gen eral from the charges of mismanagement which have been made against their offi ces. Whatever effects were found were ascribed to an insufficient clerical force and to faults in the systems under which the departments are managed. The house accepted both reports but took uu vote on the question of adoption. . The jury in the ease of the soldiers or phans' school commission against Rev Dr. Swallow, editor of the Pennsylvania Methodist, charged with criminal libel, returned a verdict of not guilty, but di rected the defendant to pay the costs .

Wilkesharre, Pa., March Miss Lizzie Swanger and Harry Rangier, her accepted suitor, quarreled at a party held at a neighbor's house, near Montrose. Shortly before midnight they returned to their homes They were accompanied by the Rev. W. Hunter. The party had occasion to pass through a field. Here they were pursued by a fu rious bull and all three took to a tree. Miss Swanger climbed one tree aud Hangler and the minister the adjoining two. Tbe infuriated bull ran around and around the tree, liellowing aud throwing the earth in the air. The trio remained up the tree nearly an hour and no relief came. The bull still bUkhI guard.

Harrisri-ro, Pa., March 35. After one of tbe most remarkable fights in be half of the convicted murderer, actor James H. Gentry, a new law has been hurried through the Legislature, and was to-day signed by Governor Hasting, per mitting visitors to see the doomed a tor befor bis execution, on April 22 next The new act, which amends the musty old law of lSfci, that forbade even coun sel to see prisoners convicted of capital case, within a specified period before their execution, applies of course, to all such cases But the one primary object In getting it through the Legislature a few days ahead of all other measures, was to make sure that the man who in a fit of jealous rage so wantonly murdered the confiding a .tress, Madge Yorke in Philadelphia, might not die without re ceiving all the final attentions to which his friends considered biin entitled.

A Saturday's telegram from Philadel phia nays: David Martin has been serv ed with formal notice that he caunot con trol the delegates from this city to the next State convention. Of the eighty- eight men who will form Philadelphia's representation iu the convention fully sixty, if not seventy or mors will be friends of Seuaior Quay and will favor the nomination of the candidates for State Treasurer and Auditor-Geueral that have the support of the man from Beaver. This means the nilliqise of the anti- Quay fight in the State, Without an Imost solid delegation from this city aided by the Combine adherents ol Magee and Fliun In the western end of the State those who seek to down Quay would have not a leg to stand on. The fact that a break in the Philadelphia end of the Combine was near has been apparent for some time. The beginning of the end was fore shadowed when Leaders Pattoti, Ander son, McNiehol and Klenimer went to Florida to consult with Senator Quay. At that time it was announced that it was probable that important developments in State polities would be the outcome of tbe trip. Since then events have been quietly shaping themselves notick to mautix. Yesterday the news leaked oat that this delegation of leaders with several others had formally informed David Martin that in the future his orders would not bo recognized. The ward leaders said that they would continue to support tbe administration in local affiint. but in State and national politics they would be for Quay. Incl lentally it was also intimated to Mr. Martin that in the future the Mayor would lie recognized as the leader in municipal matters This practically relegates Mr. Martin to the position of a mere ward leader. It is said that the news was conveyed to Mr. Martin by Select Councilman Pat ton. None of those in the deal would talk about the matter last night. When asked for an allirmstiou or a denial the answer was invariably a qniet smile and a request that they be excused from talk ing. The deal is quite c imprehenslve in its character. It is said to include Robert J. Moore, ofthe Fourth ward; Select Councilniin Anderson, ofthe Sixth and Tenth; Select Councilman Klemmer, of the Eleventh: Health Olfioor Stulb, of the Twelfth; Clerk of Quarter Sessions Ahem, of the Thirteenth, and County Commissioner Wildetnore, of the Fourteenth wards. Select Councilman McCoach of the Thir tieth ward, is not as yet included in the arrangement, but be will in all probab il ity act with the other leaders Not in cluding McCoach, these leaders control thirteen delegates to the Slate Conven tion. Aside from these at least fifty dele gates would be Anti-Combiners anyway. It is said that iu return tbe leaders were given no direct promise of Federal patronage, but they were given to under stand that they would receive fair treat ment from Senators Penrose and Quay. Several other ward leaders are also ready t ) break from the Combine, and Martin will be lucky if he can secure twelve delegates by the time the convention rolls around. Great Storm at Sea. Terri'ile tales of disaster and suffering come from the sea, following close upon the violent storms that raged. About 2)J lives have been lost, and the end of this frightful narrative is not yet in sight. The steamer St. Nazare weut dow n off 1 1 at t eras and 7S people were lost. Some of those who escaped liecame crazed in the little boats and in their madness jumped out into the sea. Only four per sons out of 82 were saved. The steamer Ctrecht, from Rotterdam to Japan is thought to have foundered, and 100 lives lost. The steamer Rialto, of the Wilson Line, was blown up at sea on March .", and went to the bottom. Ouly one man was lost. Other disasters are reported from various quarters ofthe globe. Sept Hi Wife ia a Drawer. Paterson, X. J., March 2G. Mrs John Vanderstadt yesterday appeared liefore Justice Levy aud asked him to summon her husband and warn bim to treat her properly. She complained that her husband, when be felt like it, would seize her and place her in a large bureau drawer, lie had bored holes in the back of tbe bureau to allow the passage of air, and wheu he put his wife in tbe drawer he would lock it keeping her there in some instances as long as five hours. Mrs Vanderstadt Raid he was not f a quarrelsome nature, and that he looed upon the affair as a joke. When Van I -r-stadt appeared before the Justice he promised not to repeat his performance, and as his wife did not want him punish ed he was allowed to go.

Among the signals of distress thrown nut by the stomach, bowels aud liver in a state of disorder, are sick headache, heartburn, nausea, loss of appetite, sallowness of the skin and eyeballs, and an uncertain state of tbe bowels They should lie heeded at once.
