THE FOREST, REPUBLICAN. J. t. WINK. faires 4 "soraitTos. WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 24, 18P0. Mawt of (be leading Republican papers of the State have commended the proposition for a uniform day in II the counties for the election of del egates to the State Convention. The diacuasioo shows clearly enough that popular aentiment ia in favor of the reform, and it can be brought about by the action of the next Republican State Convention if all who believe in its desirability activtly exert them selves to that end. The Pennsylvania Ballot Reform Association will present again, wheo the Legislature convene, their bill for a secret ballot on the Australian sys tem slightly modified to bring it up to the latest and beet evolution of this system. The chief modification is the provision for an open count. The se cret ballot allows for a fair aiid uuco erced vote, but the open count under the eyes of citizens is necessary to se cure a fair count. Ooe is valueless without the other, and there will be uo obstacle to the counting of votes under tho inp"tioo of the public in the rooms which will have to be provided for polling places under the proposed system. Phila. Press. It is alleged in Philadelphia that "there is strong opposition to the re ported intention of Governor elect Fallison to appoint V. IT. Hansel to ine Attorney Generalship, members of tbe legal profession of the State claiming that be ia 'too light' for such at important position." This is uot fair. Mr. Henael is not "too light" for this position. He is a good man weighing about one hundred and ninety-five pounds. It may be that after a seance with the Spirit of Jef ferson or a magnum of Jersey cider he weighs two hundred and fifty pound;, but that is mere rumor the idle talk of an idle hour. Let Mr. Ilenscl join tbe procession of Pennsylvania Cabi net officers. Ha has done sufficiently bard work to entitle him to such offi cial distinction. In spile of tho fact that leading Democrats openly stated on tbe fluor of Congress that the Apportionment bill was a fair measure and announced their intention to vote for it, that party wasted a whole day in eflorta to obstruct the passage of that bill, which tbey knew was inevitable, even bad they voted solidly agaioet it. Tbe truth of the matter was, they bad bowled from every stump in tbe land about the partisan apportionment which the Republicans intended mak ing, and although compelled to ac knowledge that the bill was entirely free from partisanship, ther felt that in order to prevent their constituents from asking disagreeable questions they must make a pretensa of opposing it. About the same lioe of proceed ings is likely to be adopted by the Democratic Senators when the bill is taken or by tho Senate. Governor Pattison has taken the trouble to say that he has not author ized aoy statement of bis Cabinet ap poiotraents, and is not likely to until be sends tbe names to tbe Senate next month. This couM have been taken as a matter of course. It has beeo known for a month, however, that he had asked Mr. Harrity to accept the Secretaryship of the Commonwealth, Mr. Ileasel tbe Attorney Generalship, and Captain McClelland tbe Adjutant Generalship, and that there were ac ceptances in each case. The appoint in on la ware not sought by tbe gentle men in question, but were made by tbe Governor elect, free from all pressure. It will be a gooJ Cabinet for politics, and not a bad one for business. Gov ernor Patiison must bo credited with looking into the future some in this matter, aud, while he stirred up tbe feelings of some of his party fur a time, tbe result is accepted with much less than the ordinary complaint in ucb cases. Phila. frees. Collector Tuomas V. Cooi-ek, of Philadelphia, who has been mentioned as the Republican nominee for State Treasurer next year, says that under no circumstances would he accept the nomination, and be is rather iucliued to pity anybody who is elected to the office. Mr. Cooper is a level headed man. It's as much as a man's fortune (if be has ooe) is worth to serve a term as State Treasurer. That genial gen tleman, General Bailey, lost 60,000 while Slate Treasurer, by the failure of the Bradford (McKeao county) Bank, and was ruined liuaucially. Be fore State Treasurer Livtey had been in office two mouths two banks failed and be lost $10,000 in each of tbem. As be only recoveied (10,000 from one of them, he was out just 110,000, or his salary for bis eutire term. Slate Treasurer Buyer, not yet iu cfiiue a year, has bad an exceedingly bitter experience by the failure of the Jami son and Dvlumaler firms, although be may recover from them the 8125,000 of Slate's funds on deposit when they went under. The position of State Treasurer is not a happy one in a financial panic, and it must keep a man on the qui vive continually. Mr. Conper is a wise man. lie has a nice soft borth as Collector of the Pol of Philadelphia, and nobody ever accused him of not knowing a good thing when he saw it. Harrixburg Telegraph. NEWSY NOTES.

As Christmas foils n Thursday this year, tho following quotation from an an cient manuscript In the British Museum, may be apropos : Xmas-dny on Thursday be, A windy winter ye shall see; Windy weather in each week, And hard tempests, strong and thick j The summer shall be good and dry, Corn and beast shall multiply; That year is good tor lands to till, King and princes shall die by skill ; If a child born that day shall be, It shall happen right well fur be ; Of deeds he sha'l be good and stable, Wise of speech and reasonable; Whoso that day goes thieving about, tie shall be punished without doubt; And if sickness that day betide, It shall quickly from thee glido. The New Dictionary. The answer of the publishers of Web ster' a Unabridged Dictionary to tho at tempt of pirates to steal their thunder by Issuing cheap phototype reproductions of the antiquated editiou of 1847, is the pub lication of a new and complctoly re-edited and enlarged edition of tho authentic Un abridged, which as a distinguishing title bears the name of International. The publishers have expended in the last ten yeara over $300,000 iu tbe prepara tion of this new book before issuing the first copy, and the improvements of the various editions since that of 1847 have cost over three-fourths of a million dollars for editing, illustrating, typesetting and clectrutyping alone. This new Dictionary is the best book of its kind in the English language. It un locks mysteries, resolves doubts, and de cides disputes. The possession of it aud tho habit of consulting it will tend to pro mote knowledge, literary tote, and social refinement. For every family, the mem bers of which have mastered the art of reading, the purchase of Webster's Inter national Dictionary will prove a profitable investment, aud the more they advance in knowledge and cultivation tho more they will appreciate its aid and worth. THE PHILADELPHIA FRK:s8 has wou the foremost placo among Pennsyl vania newspapers by the liberality, enter prise, and lair n ess with which it conducls us business, reports great events, and the completeness with which it records, day liy day, tlio Hie. ot the city, (State and country, its held is world-wide, and its start, its speciul correspondents, o many and well organized, I Us source of news so numerous, that it appeals to a wider con stituency than any other newspaper ever puousiieu in fennsyivauia. "The Press." said one of tho mimaiera of the Western Union Telegraph Com pany, --uw receives more telegraphic news than all the other Philadelphia news papers combined." This statement is au thoritative and conclusive, and Tho Press presents as daily witnesses to its truth, its twelve to twcnU-lour bright and interest ing pages. But it is not only by its news enterprise by the leal, energy, and integ rity of its reporters and coi respondents that The Press has won and held the con fidence of its many thousands of readers, representing evory ago and every condi tion of life, every tiade and every profes sion, every faith and overy political opin ion. It is the excellence and varied inter est of Tho Press as a general family jour nal, appealing to women as well as to men, which have made for it so many friends at home, and extended its reputa tion throughout the country. It prints every important event of the world's progress. The printing of news is always iu first business, but its col u inns are also enriched by contributions from the most gifted special writers, the most famous novelists, and some of the most eminent pill -lie men of the time. The literary en gagements already made for 1SU1. probably surpass iu number and variety, and nearly equal in cost, any contemporary maagine, lor the field and resources of such a news paper as I ho Press make it not only a daily historian, but a daily forum and a daily tribune. Unsteadily growing profits and its steadfast constituency not only de mand, but insure progress." The greatest authors, as well as the brighto-.t news cor respondents, find their largest profits de rived from any Pennsylvania newspaper, as well as their beat Pennsylvania audience in Daily. Sunday, and Weekly Press. Ill polities The Press is Kcpiihlicaii, but it knows no other master than tho people whoso rights, apir.itioiis. and needs it al ways dofends. it has no enemies to pun ish, no individual political ambitions to foster or promote, aud is subservien; to no politician or clique. Faithful to the great body ot readers and voters, whom it truly repiescnis, it promotes its own interest aud influence by faithfully upholding theirs.
