No wonder, lis Is an amateur performer on tbe violin. Remorse. TrtE Democrats baae all their hopes for success in Pennsylvania this year upon the contingency of dissensions in the ranks of the Republicans. Hope tells tells them a flattering tale on this point and it will probably turn out te be a colossal falsehood. Tub New Jersey Legislature in its closing hours killed the marriage li cense bill, and Pennsylvania people living near the border can continue their pilgrimages to Jersey to put money in tbe pockets of Camden min isters, who seam to have been instru mental in defeating tbe bill. Unless all signs are misleading, some of the rascals who have de bauched tbe politics of Hudson county, New Jersey, will soon be permitted to reflect over their villainies behind prison bars. Theji.te which threatens them woulJ caoee some Injury to the Jersey Democracy, but it would ena ble justice to breathe somewhat more freely. Esteemed Democratic contempo raries are making a large and paroxys mal fuss because they think Congress ia slow and is doing nothing. As they make even more fusa when anything is done, all attempts to please them may as well be abandoned. As a rule, the country gets along best when it doesn't bother much about pleasing tbe es teemed enemy. The price of petroleum has de clined about SO cents per banel with in the last two months, chiefly by reson of an increase in the production of 21,000 bairels per day, which, it is believed, will grow larger before the end of the half year. Notwithstand ing this fact tbe stock of oil above ground is very small. Exports have run behind last year nearly 600,000 barrels during the first quarter of this year. There is some belief that the decline has some connection with a new deal between tbe Standard Oil Company and tbe producers. Phila. Press. Bismarck declines the Dukedom of Lanenburg and prefers to be known as plain Bismarck. There is something like Jeflorsonian simplicity in the old Chancellor's modesty. The Democrats in Congress are going to ouer me uia muis bin as a substitute for the Republican tariff measure. We thought '88's campaign settled that moss backed and be whiskered chestnut. The Democrats in the House played their silly little game again Thursday by refusing to vote, for the purpose of breaking a quorora. Speaker Reed counted a quorum and the Idaho ad mission bill passed. When will this sort of Democratic silliness cease? General Sickles, whom Governor Hill has appointed Sheriff of New York, ia a believer in civil service re form. This being the case, it is plain even to the wayfaring man that the General stands face to face with tbe greatest opportunity of a lifetime to prove his faith by bis work. a duty oi iu per cei t. is kept on rye in the farmers' ttntT. As the total imports last year were just six teen bushels, on which the United States Government collected $1.60, the farmer can readily see bow muuh "protection" is coming thro' the rye Tbe farmer can readily see, if be has eyes, that tbe tariff of 10 per cent not only permitted the importation of sixteen bushels of rye, but that it pro Libited tbe importation of perhaps 1,600,000 bushels or more, which would otherwise nave been torced into our cities. This would have taken the place of so much American rye. DAVID -:- MINTZ, The Marienville Merchant, is now- East buying the Finest Stock of Dry Goods, Boots, Shoes, Clothing, and Millinery Goods, to be found in Western Pennsylvania. Look sharp for. his broad-gauge ad. soon. A Washington dispatch under date of 8th inst., says that wbilo Represen tative Randall's condition has been serious at all times for many months, he has been worse during the last two or three days, and is in a critical state. His mind, which is usually clear and bright, has at times been clouded and he has not seemed aware of wbat was going on. Ihjfi was attended by alarming loss of vitality. Fears for the worst were entertained while he was in this condition, but this morning he began (o rally and improved during tbe day. He was said to be better at 11 o'clock to night. "Unless something, now uoforsecn, happens, Reed will gavel himself into the Presidential nomination iu '92," said a New England Congressman. "By all odds he ia the roost conspicu ous man in the Republican party to day, and if tbe National Convention were to meet next July, Reed would be nominated. What may happen in the interim before tbe convention, no body, ot course, can tell, but at this time be stands squarely iu tbe path that leads to the other end of the ave nue. When this Congress adjourns his record as Speaker will stand with out a parallel. Mark tbe prediction," earnestly remarked tbe confident New hnglander. "lorn Reed is tbe coming man. If ashmgton lost. UN general principles, it would not seem likely that Democrats would nominate as weak a candidate as Wm. A. Wallace for governor, but recent events indicate tbat such action is de cidecuy probable. A tew days ago Mr. Wallace visited Mr. Randall, at Washington, and the leaders of two hitherto hostile factions of the Penn sylvania Democracy entered into an alliance. The point in the contest is primarily tbe governorship, but only as a vautago ground from which the state delegation to the next National Convention may be controlled against Cleveland. Tbis is a direct figbt against Wm. L. Scott, who is now bus ily engaged in laying plans for Mr Cleveland's nomination. The combi nation tor Wallace is a strong one. and is more than likely to succeed if be gets on bis high horse and goes to work tor delegates. Meadvdle Gazette. There has been a marked falling off ia tbe emigration from Northwest em Pennsylvania to tbe Western States. Tbe Conneautville Courier says that there is no movement from Crawford county to the West this spring at all, tbe first time iu twenty five years tnat such has been tbe case Western life appears less rosy than it once appeared to tbe Eastern farmer. The good lands bave been pretty much taken up. The experiment made by the many thousands , who have gone V est bas tauubt those who bave re mained bebiud that life is a good deal better worm living wnere there are schools, churches, society, the com forts and pleasures which are to be bad in a long-settled country. Only the hope of making money could bave drawu men and women away from tbe settled communities of the Eastern States to the isolation of the plains. That hope is uow not any strooger in the West than it is iu tbe East. It is uow a question of development and tbe East will soon have the decided advantage to oiler the farmer.
