In the luonntinio what's bccouio of Ilobsnn T One of the Czar's suggestions is that submarine bombs and naval ramming be abolished. He w ill not liml many seconds to that among the oKl seadogs. Uncle Sam is gradually accumulating a reserve of half a million smokeless powder maga.ino rifles. Theso little items of preparation help to keep the peace. A Cuban soldier who turns in his arms is offered $75 by the United States to en able him to make a start in civil life. No such generosity has been shown before by any country in Hie world. Experiments in wireless telegraphy prove that moving craft at sea can coin municato with each other at a distance. Ships that pass in the night hereafter may at least exchange compliments. Thk "Old Man" is still scooping in the delegates in bunches and singles. Down In Fayette last Saturday four solid Quay men were added to the list. Why don't tho aggressive insurgents aggress f Wool is 50 per cent higher than in the last year of tho Cleveland administration, and clothing is sold just as cheaply now as then. Tho foreign wool grower, how ever, is uot reaping the same harvest. Just now the majority of farmers are concerned more about the growth of weeds and wire grass in the cornfields than over Bryan's metallic ratios or the dangers of imperialism. Pittsburg Times. No one supposed a year ago that the regiments raised in the far west would bear tho brunt of the fighting. War brings many surprises that may be called destiny, for human foresight fails to r;ach them. There will be no encampment of the national guard this year. The new law provides for an encampment next year and Adjutant General Stewart says it will be a division affair an J one of the great est ever held in tho state. The Republicans of McKean county have endorsed Judgo Thomas A. Morri son as their favorite for Supreme Couit Judge, nnd will urge his claims with vig or before the ensuing State convention, which will be held in August. Ho Is an able jurist and should the nomination go to him the party would have a strong candidate. Over in Clarion county last Saturday the Democratic county committee elected delegates to the State convention op posed to Gufl'oy, the present "boss"of the Democratic party of tho State, who cuts his hair long, wears a Buffalo Bill hat .id has lots of money. Clarion was Guf foy's former home, and it was thought ho'd have no trouble in gobbling up the whole thing easily. Each month tho treasury publishes a report ol tho money in circulation and an estimate of the national population. On May 1, according to this authority, there were 75,875, 000 people in tho United States, an increased 138,000 for April,andof5, 000 for the four months of the calendar year. Counting now possessions, the census of next year will bo in the neigh borhood of &",000,li00. The Democrats at St. Louis failed to agree on a policy for the coming Presi dential campaign. They probably prefer to wait until the Republicans have desig nated a policy, after which, in true Dem ocratic style, they will take what is left. Iiliszard. The trouble with the Dem ocrats is, they never know exactly where they are at until the Republicans set the pace, and then they get themselves In the attitude of the breeching of a harness, and do as much holding back as possible. After all a somewhat necessary adjunct to tho body politic. Hon. John Q. Stewakt, deputy Supt. of Public Instruction, does not take the ordinary gloomy view af tho reduction of tho school appropriation by the Govern or. He insists that tho School Board that reduces the salaries of the teachers, or in any way modifies the school facilities during the next year, will have absolute ly no excuse. He says, on the contrary, that they should provide all tho facilities possiblo and inako such liberal provision In tlio way of compensation as to secure the best teaching talent. Mr. Stewart, discussing tho proposition that many school districts do not levy any school tax whatever, says that this is true with respect to only three or four districts in the Slate. Some of the experts are figuring out a small wheat crop for the United States and a large ono for Europe. Under this condition of tilings there would be a heavy falling off in exports next fall and winlor.and t..e favorable balance of trade, which has been largo recently to an un paralleled degree, would decline to near the vanishing point, or it might disap pear altogether. The balance has declined indeed in the past month, and a further shrinkage is probublo. No reasonable person supiosd tho margin of a few mouths ago could bo kept up long. It is a little too early, however, to do any fig uring on the wheat crop which will be worth mi eh. There is a chance that tho spring wheat may make up lor tho loss which is apparent in tho winter product. Then, again, Europe is a long way from the harvest time, and many things can happen before its crop is gathered. Six or eight weeks hence the world will know a good deal more about the wheat conditions in the United States and Europe than it does to-day. county, is very favorably mciu.om u u probable condidate before the eoinin Republican State convention forSunrem Judge. The Judge has a host of friends, not onlv in the western end. but throuch- oul the entire Stato, who would be pleased with his nomination, and h would command a big vote. That he would very ably fill the exalted position goes without saying. The Comities Still Votinjr. Isn't it about time that tho Flinn-Mar tin insurgents were electing a few dele gates to tho Stato Convention T They held up tho Legislature for nearly four months, they blocked legislation, they made it necessary for tho Governor to re duce tho publio school appropriations and they Hooded tho Stato almost daily with proclamations and declarations and interviews claiming that they represent ed the people. A little singular, is it not, that tho poo pie are not rushing to their support? We wonder how they account for the fact that up to date they have not carried a single primary election, and by the vote of the Republicans in the counties havo not elected a single delegate. Cumberland county has just been added to tho anti iustirgent list. Adams has fallen into line and Northumberland by resolution has endorsed tho action ot its legislative representatives in upholding majority rule. Wherover a contest has been mado the Flinn bolters have been repulsed and repudiated. Wo should think that these insurgents would begin to understand by this time that they are regarded with suspicion by tho Republicans of Pennsylvania. With no support in the State, with Martin thrashed out in Philadelphia, what a beautifully lonely time Flinn will have all by himself at the coming State Con vention. rhila. Inquirer. Count)' Prisoners to Work. Tho act passed by the recent legislature providing for tho employment of male persons confined in the work houses and jails is an important one. The act provides that such prisoners shall work eight hours each day, except Sundays and holidays. No motive what ever shall be used. The prisoners are in charge of a prison board, constituted by the judge, sheriff and county commiss ioners, who have full power and author ity. The work to be done shall be classi fied and mapped out by the prison board. This board has the authority to "require and compel" prisoners to work on the highways, preference given to the roads leading to the county seat. In order that the work may bo equitably distributed, no more than five miles shall be com pleated on my road until a like mileage has been completed on each and every road leading to the county seat. The moneys received from this source is to go to tho maintenance ai-eount of such prison or jail. The prison board has tho power to purchase tho nec essary tools to carry on the work. The sdieriffhas tho authority to employ deputies to superintend any work and to guard the prisoners, thn pay of such dep uties not to exceed J2 per day. In case any of the prisoners escape they shall, if caught, be treated as though they had es caped from the jail or workhouse. County Sabbath School Convention.
