If Cleveland succeeds id solving
the Cuban problem, he will not write
i letter declining the Democratic
nomination.
New Mkxico's first official act as
a State will doubtless be to veto the
proposed motto of the new Common
wealth, "The Sunset Land of Sage
Iirusli, Alkali and Greasers."
One batllo ship, the Oregon, is all
that the United States can muster
now on the Pscific coast, but if she is
ns good as the old Constitution the
enemy who tackles her will run into
a hornet's nest.
TnE Republican primaries of Clar
ion county last Saturday, resulted as
follows: Cougress, W. C. Arnold;
Assembly, C. V. Wick, L. K.Lane;
prothonotary, S. II. Rey uer ; recorder,
G. M. McNaughton ; treasurer, Amos
Yr. Hicks; commissioners, John C.
Shields, J. S. Saxton.
There seems to be practically do
limit to the progress of our American
civilization. The cablegram annou
cing that only the other day two hun
dred Matabele9 were blown to atoms
while fooling with dynamite leads to
the conclusion that our coal region
practice of putting dnyamite in the
cooking stove to thaw it out has
found its way even to the heart of the
Dark Contineut.
Se.natok Daniel's bill to appro
priate $50,000 fur a statue of Presi
dent Monroe will probably have the
favorable consideration of Cougress,
as the nation has not yet honored
him with an enduring memorial.
But Washington would be a better
site for it than Fredericksburg. It
should be placed where the people
and foreign visitors would be sure to
soe it and understand its signifi
cance. At the conference held iu Ridgway
last Thursday for the election of two
delegates to the Republican National
Convention at St. Louis, and a Presi
dential Elector for this, 28th, Con.
gressional Diatiict, J. II. McEwen of
Elk, and Harry R. Wilson of Cla
ion, were chosen delegates. The
honor of representing this district in
the Pennsylvania Electoral college
was accorded to Mr. Joseph C.Camp
bell of Forest county. Resolutions
endorsing Senator Quay for Presi
dent were unanimously adopted.
The Republican primaries of Craw
ford and Erie counties were hotly
contested last Saturday, resulting in
the choice of Senator Andrews and
Lewis Streuber, Quay candidates for
uational delegates. Ia Crawford
county Jacob Borland, J. B. Comp
ton and John I.Thompson were Dom
inated for Assembly ; D. N. Scott, for
Sheriff; John A. Mars for Prothono
tary, and Elbert Smith for Treasurer.
In Erie County Messrs. Gould, Rent
ley aud Evans were nominated fjr
Assembly ; Gibson for Senator, and
Nason for Prothonotary. E, A.
Walling Mas nominated for President
Judge.
The Republican State couventioD
which meets in Ilarrisburg to-morrow
will bo au interesting session, not
withstanding there are no regular
State officers to nominate. Two can
didates for Congress-at large and four
Presidential electois-at-large, will be
named; also eight national delegates-at-large
will be elected. The plat
form will be one of the important
features of the convention's work
and will embrace Senator Quay's re
furni legislation plank. The contest
for chairman of the Slate committee
promises to be lively, but will tin
doubtedly be satisfactorily settled af
ter all.
Tut he is a grotesque contrast be'
tween our occasional beligeraut atli
tude to foreign nations and the chron
ically uubuligerunt condition of our
coast defenses. Senator Squire iu bis
arguments for his fortifications bill
never fuils to dwell upon this con
trust. Being prepared for war is one
of the bobt ways to prevent war, and
a time of peace is the time to prepare
for war. Congress ought certainly to
feel the force of this argument at this
hessiou, if never before. Coast do
fuue, both floating and fixed, are
uecessary lo this country, unless it is
willing to iuvite the great disaster by
the suJdeu raid at some timo of a sec-
ouJ-class power. J'liiU'a Freta.
The Presidential boom for ex-Governor
Russell, of Massachusetts issaid
to be really no Presidential boom at
all, but instead a vice-1 residential
boom. The scheme it is claimed is to
capture the delegation from Massa
chusetts and from all New England
if possible to Chicago fur Russell and
then use this force in favor of the
nomination of Carlisle fur President
oil condition that Russell is given the
second place on the ticket. Emissa
ries from Washington are now in
Boston sounding public opinion in
favor of such a combination and the
Cleveland administration is probably
back of it. It would make a respec
table ticket, but the difficulty would
be in getting the Chicago convention
to adopt it. It is impossible to pre
dict, however, what the outcome will
be, and meanwhile a prospective vice
Presidential nomination is a good toy
with which to amuse cx-Goveruor
Russell.
"Old ;lorj" nt West Hickory.
En. RErrm.ioAN :
The patriotic act of setting afloat
the stars and stripes over the West
Hickory school building on Friday
afternoon, April 17th, was a very
pleasing affair, the day was pleasing
and every soul appeared to be ablaze
with devout patriotism. Hie pro
gram prepared by the able teachers
of the school, was of the best, and
was well directed and execu
ted throughout. The singing as
well as the recitations were
highly appreciated by the boys iu
blue dow turning gray. Time and
time again when in the recitations
reference was made to some fact
known to us all, mi wender thai we
became uneasy in our seats, it really
made us feel ourselves back in those
younger days when actuated by pa
triotic devotion to our Country s flag
we stood under it before its enemy to
do and dare. Yes, we love that flag,
boys and girls, keep that flag filiating
over you constantly. Rev. J. E.
liillard then delivered a very inter
esting address. In this address was
blended together Godliness, patriot
ism and stirring truths. We would
be glad to say more, but what can we
say more than we have already said. I
Comrade Mervin, Commander uf Eli
Berlin Post, was next put to the
front. He was visibly a fleeted over a
recitation relative to that old hero.
Phil. Kearney, at the battle of Fair
Oaks. Commacder Mervin served
under Kearney aud he dearly loved
the old one-armed hero. Comrades
Albaugh, Witherell, Siggins ood
Johnson came forward in the order
named adding to the interest of the
occasion. Prof. Stroup being present
responded in answer to the call by a
lew well cbosen remarks. Prof.
Whitmore closed the exercises in a
brief appropriate address to us all
and a nl aflectiouate farewell to the
school, this day closiug his second
terra at tbis place as teacher. At
the request of the teachers the G. A,
R. formed in line in frout of the
school building, the school led by the
teachers, assembled about the school
room door and gave the G. A. R.
three cheers, which were responded to
by tbrpe cheers for the school bv the
G. A. R. Thus ended another of
those inspiring events that tend to
strengthen the love of country in the
hearts of the rising generation. We
desire to add now that when the com
mittee sent out by Eli Berlin Post as
missionaries on Patriotism have com
pleted their work for the year, their
report will be made to the Post and
will be published in our County pa
pers for the benefit of our noble boys
and girla of the many schools visited,
etc. At least two more flairs remain
to be unfurled iu the near future.
namely, on Fleming Hill and Church
Hill. Boys and girls, stand by your
God, to him ever be true, and rally
under tbe Ked, Wbite and lllue.
Injurious Insects.
The State Zoologist estimates that
injurious insects cost the farmers of
Pennsylvania as much as five million
dollms a year. Much of this might
be saved by care aud atteution in
getting rid of tliesu pests before they
cau do luu'vb damage to the grow
ing crops. Tbe growing of plums iu
this Stale is no louger possible owing
to the ravages ot tbe rouzh and
brown coat curculio aud tbe black
knot, a fungous disease. Dr. Warren
says that the bag or basket worm
promises to become a source of great
trouble next summer, aud unless
stamped out at ouce will do great
damage to the fruit and oruameutal
trees iu uiativ sections of the State.
This is particularly true of several of
tbe southern counties and the counties
iu tbe western end of tbe Slate.
These bag worms can easily begotten
rid of, aud much injury to fruit crops
and shade trees prevented, if tbe
owners of trees will take the trouble
to pull the pendant bags off during
the winter, when they are go conspic
uous, and burn them. When re
moved from the tree they should
uever be thrown on tbe ground.

which relieved me almost instantly, and
in a short time brought almost a complete
