That inquiry about civil service re
form at Washington is bringing out
soiue very important information. The
people want to know the facts about
the matter.
President McKixi-ey has moved
about considerably since March 4. He
believes it is a part of a president's du
ty to show the people that he takes an
interest in everything that concerns
them.
In Connecticut 170WJ women are
qualified to vote at school elections, but
only 2,(iS7 cast their ballots this tpring.
The l'J7,313 who neglected to vote are

The Baptists of theeoutitry are mak

The colored women of Atlanta, who
in formal resolutions declare that the
unenlightened condition of the race is
owing to lazy husbands, who rely on
their wives for support, strike near the
root of every race's social troubles.
Hut there is a bright prospect of the
race's deliverance from this drawback
if the wives are beginning to find it
out.
The election last fall and the elec
tions of two previous falls determined
beyond all doubt the principle, and the
wnate need waste no time discussing
principles. The one task for the sen
ates to pass a tariff bill that will pro
duce revenue sufficient to the needs of
the country, the tariff being laid along
the lines of protection. Qiiek action
is what is wanted of the senate.
Raii.roaiks are usually a very relia
ble barometer of commercial eondi
tutus. Just now railroad men pretty
generally agree that things are im
proving. Now if prompt action on the
tariff bill can lie, secured in the senate
so that manufacturers may know the
schedules under which they are to d
business, this improvement will U'

The heavy merchandise imports at
the present time mean correspondingly
light imiHirts a few months hence.
This will, at the outset, keep the reve
nues under the new tarifl law, but it
will, at the same time, make a very
large merchandise lialance iu the coun
try's favor. Asa consequence, while
the government's receipts will le com
paratively small for a while, the gold
inflow will le large. The gold which
goes out these days will not be gone
long.
Si'E (ial Ai.ext Calhoun has gath

to make a report to the president- His
visit was a short one, but it was long

and these, supplemented by what Mr.
Calhoun himself was able to gather,
have lieen sutlicieuL It was wise to
send a sjiecial agent of the President's
own choosing for this work, inasmuch
us General Iee has lecn accused of
leaning too much toward the side of

however, that all the reiorts that have

government officers, who have lieeti

It is doubtful if anything that can
be said can add to the horror of the sit

that thousands of people are on the

Tlift iHMwtiful custom of Mi-civing the
first flowers of spring on the graves of the
sol.licrn ho fought to preserve the Union
was fittingly observed by their surviving
comrades and the public generally on
Salurdar. The clouds were threatening
and black throughout the morning and
rain fell at iutervals, but there was a ces
ration f rain at 10 o'clock w hen the mem
tiers of It. P. Cummins Post . A. It,,
marched from their Pst room and took
up their position in the line of school chil
dren and citizens formed on Union street.
At the word of command a drum corps
started up a spirited air aud the proces
sion proceeded to the Lutheran cemetery,
where the graves of the defenders of the
Union sleenine there were deoorated.
The usual t. A. R. ceremonies were er
formed at the cemetery and details were
made to decorate the graves of the sol
diers reposing in the various other bury
ine jrrounds.
The procession returned to the court
house and the court room was soon filled
with a vast crowd all of whom were anx
ious to hear their eloquent young friend
and former fellow townsman. A. J. Col
born, Jr., of the Lackawanna county bar,
deliver the oration of the day.
This was the second public occasion on
which Mr. Colborn has appeared before a
home audience and he was greeted with
rapturous applause. His address stirred
his audience to a high pitch of enthusiasm
aud when he concluded his remark he
was warmly congratulated by all of the
old soldiers present and by huudredtof
his other friends. Following is a ynp
sis of his address, which is freely admit!

ever delivered in Somerset :

died in defense of our lieloved nation.it
is iuiiHtsMilile to adequately express the
depth of feeling which the occasion
prompts. It is altoveand beyond utter
ance. Their fame caunot be increased
by words of oratory, even thought, sov
ereign mistress of man's supreme dosniu
i.in, turns upon herself in dumbecstaey
an J astonishment. By what standard
can we measure their patriotic devotion ?
Our devoted age writes the name Wash

tude, write the same of our heroic dead,
as we meet to mourn our country's loss.
and dedicate this day to the sacred iiiein
oryofthe five hundred thousand, who
fell for the preervatkn of the Union.
This day the nation consecrates itself
anew to patriotic purpose, it breathes
purer, higher inspiration, and pledges
deeper and holier restitutions to maintain
and preserve the precious heritage of
American liberty. As we fill it with this
most tieautiful ceremony, the grandest
tribute of civilization, let us resolve "that
the nation shall' under (iod have a new
birth of freed m, and tu.it the govern
ment of the people, by the people, and
for the people shall not perish from the
earth."
Why did these men die? Was it that
we might see our laud filled with corrup
tioii and dishonor, political knavery and
social demoralization? as it that we
might see "that judgment is turned
backward and justice standeth afar off ?
When truth is fallen in the street, am:
equity cannot enter, and he that depart
eth from evil is accounted mad?" Iid
they die that we we might see shame
sitting in honor upon the letich, in halls
of legislation, everywhere, or that we
might liehold inordinate greed and sel
tisliness, unbridled luxury and iudul
genee rioting upon honesty and virtue,
until our Congressional halls open only
with golden keys, and are stilling with
the atmosphere of the slum, while legis
lation becomes speculative, and a pre
mium is set upon vice?- Te.ll me, oh tell

Political crimes are the lightest iu the
calendar of crimes, when they ought to be
the greatest offenses against the State;

the same certainty and despatch as trea

its existence to-day than ever before it
is a moral warfare. The poison of cor
ruption is stealing softly but with deadly
certainty into every vein, and along every
artery. eak laws, social contest, polit
ical strifes, festering sectional hatred and
lawlessness will sooner or later, unless
checked, combine to the ruin of our in

We turn from the contemplation of
the sacrifices aud from the golden mem
ories of this day to learn the lesson of the
hour. The great contest of the age, and
the world now is to establish the rer-
maiieuce of Republican eovernuient.
The battle ground on which the struggle
is to be consummated, lies here in Amer
ica. Millions of anxious eyes are upon
us. Our success or failure is the hope or
the despair of the race. Shall we fail and
bury the hope of ages ? Shall we permit
to be written over the graves we to-day
honor "They died in vsla?" What
shall your answer be? The wrecks tf

ern incuts and their histories, Ie Toque-
vuie, says, "KepuMie are short lived."
Macaulay prophesied that we would go
down through the instability of our in-
(
uiuuuns, iqo eoirnpuon or me ballo .
boa and social disorders. Carlyle asaertt 1
that no country can live wherein the vet
of a man of the purity of Christ is the
same as that of the vilest criminal. Our
political institutions have no exemplar,
no archetype ; and we are tryinB the ex
periment which no nation ever tried, of
throwing the government into the bands
of the people. It is an experiment which
has oft been assailed, and which must
prove eminently successful or fearfully
disastrous. The result will depend upon
the intelligence and virtue of the people.
The will of the majority is for good or
for eviL It isour law-maker, orour law
breaker. The fear of the bayonet may
put down the mob, till the mob become
strong enough to put down the law. And
when it has achieved this, it will turn its
suicidal hand upon itself. The produc
tion of a Boneparte was the natural result
of the state of mind in France during her
revolution, as a Washington was of
America at the commencement of our
revolution. France could not possibly
have raised up a Washington, nor Amer
ica a Boneparte during the periods of
their respective revolutions. Xo nation
can long be governed by any power but
such as is adapted to the character of their
people. A Xero and a Claudius are not
the cause of the misery of the peopleover
w hom they rule, but the consequence of
their vices and ignorance. Onward the
nation is going with astonishing rapidi
ty, in population and wealth, in civiliza
tion and refinement, and in all the means
of promoting any object which shall seem
dwirable. We must not accustom our
selves to thiuk that our glory is secured

gold, are auossfuL What constitute
national glory? What is the renown we
should niiol covet for our grat and flour

them, sh.aild I kept before us in the
rwlebration of such days as these. We
can rsit dwell too constantly upon the
noble lives that have beooine such an ex
haustleMs inspiration of our citizenship.
Free institutions such as ours are found

ment, and are doomed to die with its de
cay. The ceremonies of this day have
their moral effect ; they are of greater
worth than tho victories of battle fields,
and are the most 1eautiful in the bright
calendar of glorious things. Let us then
cherish and perpetuate this inspiration of
our cilizm.ship and never suffer it to grow
uull or to be tarnished by auy neglect.
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty
no citizen can escape sentry duty. It is
not enough to honor the dead, we must
carry the burden which they preserved.
They are heroes free from strife, we are
soldiers or it. And you. Veterans, are
this day doubly endeared to the Repub
lic, but in no sense relieved of responsi
bility. You must le equal to the hour of
sacrifice, aud now as then, feel that your
duty to your beloved country is the great

died, for that you live. And what a coun

A country when it first clothed itself
with the prerogatives of sovereignty
numliered but thirteen feeble states with
only three millions inhabitants, occupy
ing the small familiar strip of territory
lined on one side by the Atlantic ocean
ami on the other by the Allegheny moun
tains, but whose vast outlying bounda
ries are now watered by the great Pacific,
the tJulf of Mexico and the Artie ocean ;
comprising in fact, a continental chain of
zones, sweeping in hemispheric magni
tude, from the mountain crests of eternal
snow s to the reign of perpetual flowers;
Us census of population has gone toward
with similar strides of amazing au menta
tion, rolling up a free, intelligent and
powerful citizenship of seveuty million
people. Xever before has the world wit
nessed so superlative an illustration of
the capacity of man for self-government,
never before has the glory of man, ii his
unrepressed enthusiasm and unfettered
activity, lieen confirmed by achievements
so splendid and enduring, the influence
of which will reach forward to the setting
of the sun of time. Under the gracious
blessing iif heaven, we can boast of .
career more renowned, diversified in
character, aud more boundless in its re
sults to the human race, than that of the
most commanding empires of the past, of
whatever name or period, enjoying
fame as wide as the world, and as eternal
as the stars.
If we be true to the great duty of edu
cating and improving the minds and
souls of the people, if we be inspired with
an ardent love for our country, and
profound reverence for her constitutions
and her laws, if we lie filled with patriotic
devotion to Old (Jlory as the tlag of free
dom, prosperity will never enervate,
corruption debase, nor a venal populace
consummate the destruction of our glori

lie assailed, and "war wing its wide deso

Wesley V. Davis, notice of whose seri
ous sickness and removal to the Western
Pennsylvania Hospital, at Dixmont, was
made in the Herald two weeks ago,
died at that institution at three o'clock on
Saturday afternoon. Wesley W. Davis,
was a memlier of Co. A, loth Pa. Kes.,
the first military company organize-1 in
this ohi nly to inarch to the defense of the
Union. He was wounded at the second
battle of Hull Kuu aud again at the battle
orrharles City Cross Koads, where he
was captured aud sent to a rebel prison
pen. Discharged from the service on ac
count of his wounds he returned to Som
erset where he served as a deputy provo

About this time he was married to a
daughter of tho Into John Wilt, a well
kown surveyor. Three children wore

Daniel L. Davis, and by the following
named brothers: William and Kdward,
of Bradford, Pa; (Jeorge and I toss, of
Somerset.
Mr. Davis health was permanently Im
paired by reason of the wouud-i and pri
vations he suffered while in the army,
but notwithstanding his physical disa
bilities he was an unusually energetic
man and engaged in the hardest kind of
manual la'x.r. Ho embarked in Iiiisiuess
at dilV.Ti.nt times with iudiuVreiit suc
cos. Tho mental slrain ho endured
during the last few years coupled with
his physical suffering proved to much for
hiiu and six months ago his health began
to rapidly fail and finally resulted i:i his
do ilh at tha ag of ."" years.
The deceased was a man of most gener
ous impulses, kindly and courteous and
won the esteem ami affection of a wide
circle of friend.

A Etaarkabla Coincident.
From the Johnstown Trtnine
Eight years ago to-.l iy Divid and
Joseph Nii-cly, two brothers, were on
trail In tho Somerset Csirt House for tho
murder f Herman Ui!i"'rgr, near Jeu
nertown. n this day a similar case pro
grosses at the same place against two oth
er brothers James and Jnhn Kxl-ly
w bo are held to answer for the murder of
David Berkry, near ltuimncl. A strik
ing similarity runs throughout the two
cases. All Pair of tho deremTants were
young men, and none were residents of
the usually po'iooful vicinity in which
tho crimes woro committed, tho Niislys
hailing from Ligonier and the Koddys
from tho vicinity of Johnstown.
The olfonses were much alike, dilf r
ingof eourso in detail. B it both wore
brutal and cowardly; lsith were ttt ulls
on the father and husliand, in the pren
ence of his family, iu the darkness of the
night, in the quietness of their -farm
homes, in the neighlrhood where assist
anco was some distance away, lth being
in the northerly part of the canity and
nit far apart. The Uinberger homicide
was on the southerly side of the Joseph
Johns residence, where a similar brutal
stuck was ma le tirty-flve years ago, but
without ftal results; the Berkey assault
on the northerly side of this place. All
three are very nearly in a line from north
to south. Bo'.h offense w ere f r the pur
pose of robliery. In the Uiiilerger cac it
is said the Nicely prH-ured U lween JIV
W and flS.Uuoj iu the Iteiky a-e the
amount secured w as but small.
The Niisdys were convicted, oil an ap
peal to the Supreme Court this finding
was affirmed, and l4h were executed
