Tub latest Congressional apportion

This would suit our county very well.
Congressman Sibley has agreed

Notwithstanding all the bluster,
not a war guo against the Republi

is the enemy's silence dangerously
ominous. It rather indicates prepa
rations for a "masterly retreat," ff
such be possible. Cincinnati Com.
Things are raized in Washington
among tho Pennsylvania Democrats
who are struggling for office. Those
who are doing the hardest fighting
seem to be doing nothing else and
getting nothing, while those who keep
quiet and work without a brass band
are corraliog the offices.
The recent local elections in New
York State ebow large Republican
gains, which would indicate a reac
tion on the part of those who "want
ed a change." This reaction will ex
tend all over the country just as soon
as tbe Democracy get their free trade
schemes into operation.
According to a Washington cor
respondent Senator Hall, of Elk,
will be United States District Attor
ney for Western Pennsylvania. All
others are mere imitations. Mr.
Hall is a friend of the State adminis
tration and that settles it the ad
ministration is bis friend, and that
clinches it.
The Methodists of Kansas bave
given the bounce to Rev. V. II. Bid
dleeon, tbe Populist chaplain of the
State Senate, because he cursed the
Republican party in his prayers, and
in one of bis petitions requested God
to "palsy the brain and still the heart
of tbe treasonable conspirators."
The bretbern concluded that the Rev.
Biddleson was too anxious to earn his
salary.
The Farr compulsory educational
and free text book bills were favora
bly considered by the Senate Com
mittee on Education, and will soon
be on their way through the Senate.
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Waller, who has indorsed both
measures in his aonual report, was
before the committee and made a
lengthly argument in their favor.
The free text book bill is one that
has never yet succeeded in gettting to
the Governor, although efforts in that
direction bave been made for theDaat
ten years. It is a measure that must
commend itself to every good citizen
At present tbe matter of furnishing
school books is in the bands of a
School Rook Trust, which dictates tbe
f trices to be paid. Under tbe new
aw tbo directors of public schools
can go outside of tbe Trust, for there
are plenty of publishers who will un
dertake to prepare and furnish books
far below tbe price now put upon
them. The bill will relieve poor
parents from tbe necessity of keeping
their children at home, and it will
aid very materially in tbe cause of
education. Pass it and give it a fair
trial. Uarrulurg Telegraph.
When the Southern Governors,
Bah, meet in Richmond, sab, to d is
cuss measures for the good of the
South, sah, it is proposed to appoint
a committee, sab, lo call on President
Cleveland, sah, and ask him to aid in
developing the South. As Pbil,
Sheridan once said if the South
would raise less deviltry and more
crops she would not have to ask any
body lo help ber. You don't bear
of any Northern State asking for
help to develop its resources. They
generally buckle down for themselves
and work out their own salvation to
their own satisfaction. It's a way
tbey have.
The statements published that the
visit to Washington of Georee A.
Jenks, who was Solicitor General un
der Cleveland's last administration,
was for the purpose of opposing tbe
appointment of Slate Senator Harry
Alvin Hall, of Elk county, to the
pnsitiou of District Attorney for the
Western district of Pennsvlvania. is
denied here on what appears to be
good authority. It is further slated
that Mr Jenks is likely to be soon ap
pointed to a hieb position bv Presi
dent Cleveland, and that this is the
real ohiect of bis trin to the National
Capital Ilarritburg Telegraph.
Occurs to us that about all the
giorl positions of Mr. Jenks' size are
already gone.
rooR olrt Ward McAllister is in
hot water again. He wrote and had
printed an article on Chicago society,
n which he was not at all compli
mentary to the Chicagoeso, and tbe
Windy City newspapers are roasting
the Gothamite most unmercifully.
One of them calls him "a fat chuff,"
whatever that is, and another refers
to him as "the best all around ass in
tbe country." It will be well for Mr.
McAllister if he keeps himself under
cover when he goes to Chicago. He
has an unfortunate habit of putting
his foot in it every time be refers to
society in other cities. He has made
the 400 in New York the laughing
stock of tbe country, and other cities
object to being served that way.
"See here," said Mr. Jefferson T.
Short, of Carrizo, Texas, as be dived
into his pocket and brought up a
hundred neatly engraved visiting
catds. "Wbat'II I do with these
things when I get home? If I offer
one to a man he'd shoot me. But I
find up here that if I want to see the
eighty-fourth assistant secretary to
the twenty-third assistant secretary
of the secretary I've got to give one
of the pasteboards to a colored gen
tleman who wears better clothes than
I do, atid kick around in the hall
outside before I can get inside.
Judging by tbe time it lakes, 1 will
be able to make not more than four
calls this week. If Ibis is what you
call a Democratic Government I
would like to see a return to Federal
ism. I used to think that these fol
lows in tbe departments, being hired
by tbe public and getting their wages
from the public, could be reached by
the public." Washington Post.
.Some Important Legislation.
Ed. Republican: Our Legisla
tors are at present deeply absorbed
with two very important questions to
tbe taxpayers of this Commonwealth.
We refer to the Nesbit Road Bill.
and the Free School Book System.
They appear to be handling these two
bills with great caution and consider
ation. This is right; care is required
in all measures affecting so greatly
the interests of the entire Common
wealth. Nevertheless, there are some
objections to the measure now before
them regarding tbe proposed new text
book system. That a perfect outrage
has been practiced upon tbe patrons
of the common schools by the Book
Trust needs not to be discussed by
us, all are aware of this fact, but
just bow to remedy this outrage is the
question at issue. There are many
ways to affect a cure of the malady.
but the one that shall briug about the
best results to all concerned is the
right way; all agree on this point.
Ooe way is (and we do not say that
it is tbe best way) to order tbe pub
lishing of the text series of tbe Com
monwealth by tbe State, under tbe
direction and cootrol of the Slate
Superidteodent of Public Instruction,
permitting him to call to bis aid a
certain number of County Superin
tendents, (or other qualified persons),
to assist in compilation of a uniform
series, which in their judgment shall
meet the wants and beat interests of
the educational purposes of tbe State.
Let the State make proper appropria
tions to complete tbe entire work, and
distribute the books to tbe schools
through the officers of tbe several
boards, and at sucb prices as will cov
er the actual cost of publication.
This would bring those books within
tbe reach of every patron of our
schools. It would bring about a per
fectly uniform series, so much desired
by our teachers, throughout, not only
the connty, but tbe entire State.

rons to say on the question or prob
