The Denver Tribune sweats as the

„Andrew Jackson and James Buchanan, and
suggests that they would lead the. hosts to
victory.
The House Committee on Civil Service
Reform has agreed on a bill for the De
partment of Industries and four bureaus,
one of which Will be designated the Bureau
of Agriculture. ' The bill provides for a
Secretary, who shall be a Cabinet officer,
and four head oftureens. ; •
Arrangements .have been made by the
Pennsylvania Agricultural Society by which
the annual exhibition this year will be 'held
in Pittsburg,lon the grounds ;of the Expo

The time for holding the fair has not yet

The action ,of Insurance Commissioner
Foster and' Attorney General Palmer
against the 213 co-operative insurance
companies of the State has caused consider
able stir among- some of the associations.
The suits are being rapidly pushed, however,
and many of the companies have already
yielded their charters. '
Last week the Attorney General filed
13 suits hi Harrisburg against mutual
insurance companies of 01.14 State. The
list includes nearly every company in the
State. It is alleged that they have not
complied with the law, and.the intention is
to wipe them all out of existence, as several
of the graveyard companies were closed up.
• One more impediment in the way of the
trial oflhe Star Routers was removed op
Thursday last when Judge' Wylie denied
the defendants a bill of particulars.' It will
be a gratification to the public that the
motion has been denied, .and that another
obstacle in the path .of justice has thus
been successfully; passed, ;
The prospect is good for a reduction in
.
the rate of letter postage. A bill which the
House Committee on Put-office, has agreed
to report with a favorable reconungndation
provides for a uniform rate of two cents
for each half ounce of ` first-class matter,
and there seems to be no reason to expect
that this measure wilt_ encounter much

The following opinion of the Supreme
Court, delivered by:Judge Trunkey, is of
general interest, which is our reason for
giving it prominence as a matter of infor
mation: "In proceedings to revive judg

the act of April 16, 1849, is only entitled to

The ; House last week decided against the
admission of either Campbell or Cannon,
as a delegate from Utah. In so desiding
the House came to the only conclusion that
is consisent with common sense.. Apart
from the doubt that bad been raised in re
gard to his naturalizatioit Cannon , was
ineligible under the -resolution debarring
polygamists from admission, while it would
_have been absurd to - , adniit Campbell in
.view of the fact that lie! had only received
about one vote in twen t y of the votes cast.
It may, surprise some of the farmers of
Bradford county to learn that during the
three months ending Mai.3l, 2,228,527 bush=
els of potatoes were imported into this coup -
try at.the port of New York. The importers
l
received about seventy cents a 'bushel at
wholesale. The customs duties yielded a
revenue to the government of $334,279.
Most of the potatoes came from London,
Glasgo, Liverpool and Hull. Doubtless
the, high price now prevailing fof the article
will prOmpt farmers to plant - larger areas
, of potatoes than usual.

Judgo Ewell has decided that the con

It is the opinion of thee . learned Court
that "when a ticket does not contain the .
whole name extrinsic evidence may be re

There being some talkin official circles of
reducing tie tax upon cigarettes, the Phila
delphia North American risen to remark:
"It is mach to be , hoped that nothing will
come of it. Cigarettes are much too cheap
es it is, either for the health or the comfort
of the continual ty, and legislation which
would tend to increase their consumption
by decreasing their cost would be sadly
wanting in common sense. ±f the .change
proposed ware in tbe other direction now,
. it might with advantage be adopted. Indeed
it would be a i great be4efit to the young
man of the period, Packet and in
heahh, if the cigarette ere taxed out of
existence." As usual, Ithe head of the
North America* is decidedly level.
The Democrats of the House, after fight
ing vigorously for a time to prevent aetion
on the new Chinese bill, suspending immi
gration for ten years instead of twenty,
changed front when forced to a vote, and
voted for the bill.
Why is it that the Democratic party in
Congress always takes the wrong side of
every question involving a moral principle?
On the WI for the suppression of , polygamy
in Utah, they Were found voting on the
wrong side and against the bill. They
voted in a body to admit Cannon; the po
lygamist delegate from Utah to a.seat. He
had to step down and out all the same, but
by Republican votes.
Nothing is more fatal to a public man
than to be ignored. He sometimes owes
more to his enemies than his friends, Blaine,
shrewdest of them all, courtstattack, while
the Stalwart press is vociferous in its de
mand that since Conidiag has become a
private citizen he should be let alone.
Hence Conklin, in a measure, dropei out of
Shipherd the Peruvian jfrand,
proves to Blaine, a special providence I done ,
up in guano.

BUSINESS AND NEWSPAPERS
Our readers will not have failed to
note that with last week's REPUBLICAN
we have made valuable improvements
in its dress and make up: For the,
inion type in which the third page
was formerly set we have substituted
new bretrier, a size larger and more
accommodating to the eye • of the
reader. Valuable improvenient is also
made in . ,the matter and Make up of
alr paper. With the new dress, the
&mum; :n typographical appear
ance, is second to none, - and our aim
will be to have it so in respect to its
matter. Our first, second 'and fourth
pages are . set in new long primer and
bourgeois, the three combinations of
new type presenting a handsome dress.
Under the careful supervision of our
associate in the editorial department,
who is a highly competent and exper
ienced newspaperman, no pains will be
spared to place the REPUBLICAN. in the
front rank of country journals. Its
news columns will be filled with the
freshest and must varied reliable infor
mation of current, events of paramount
interest to the ineral reader. In a
word, our aim shall be to elevate rather
than lower the
.standard of journalism,
and to make the REriaßLicAN a welcome
visitor at every fireside, and in every
household. Our local department will
receive the most careful attention, We
shall aim to gather and.present weekly
reliable information of local passing
events from all sections.of the county.
Our reports of society doings will be
ably written up by experienced con
tributors. Our literary, miscellaneous,
agricultural and eduCational matter
will be carefully selected with 'a view
to profiting the reader. We trust that
an intelligent reading public will duly
apprtciate our well-directed efforts to
furnish them a good newspaper. This
can be done only at great expense in
money, and by incessant application
and toil. A' newspaper must live off
its business. Avlarger outlay- in mon
ey, more labor in detail, and less ag
gregate receipts in proportion -to the
labor and expense results from the
publication of a newspaper than from
any other legitimate business that can
be mentioned. This is not generally
known and appreciated by the public,
who, in many instances, have come to
regard' the publisher as , in the nature of
a public servant, a S sort of a " free
- h orse" to be ridden to death for the
public convenience. ' The business of a
publisher, more than any other, we re
mind our readers, rehires prompt paY
ment, hence be is'compelled to demand
his earnings in order to, properly con
duct his business. r,
Our advertising department is as
much a part of our business as is our
news department, and no newspaper
can live and! exclude from its columns
a reasonable amount of a d vertising.
.
The best evidence of the popular appre.
ciation of . a paper is found,' in its adver
tising patronage. While at tinier for
a few issues oethe REPUBLICAN the
"1--
popular demand upo n Or columns for
advertising has reduced bur reading to
a minimum as toi amoant, - oar readers
have lost nothing, as on. no oceasion do
we or . will we fail to furnish the
essence of each week's . news the
kernel .of the times so to speak. . These
conditions precedent. to the publication
of a newspaper we desire to make com
prehensible to our readers, by whom We
`trust they will be appreciated.
We are grateful for the earnest good
will extended by our-friends 1 in the pist,
and -shall aim to merit its. Continuance.
There is nothing that contributes so
largely to the success, and encourage.
nient.of a newspaper publisher as - the
expression of good will , on the part of
his patrons. We invite our patrons
from out of town to give us a call when
in town at our office, where , they will
always meet with a cordial welconie.
AS OPEN CANVASS Tins
. The objection made to machine
methods, says the Philadelphia Frew,
is that they are used to force candidates
on the party without any full canvass,
without any just regard for public
sentiment, and without any fair con
,
sideration of all elements.
This was the grounct upon which
the movement to make Mr. Oliver
United States Senator was opposed.
His name had not been presented or
auggasted_during the campaign. There
htul been no discussion of. his :merits
and no,opportunity for- any public ex
pressioU. Other names, had been can
vassed before the people, and they
had been led to _expect a different
choice. ' The Repullicap3 of the ; State
sent a -Republican majority to the
Legislature with a clear . and unmistak-
able indication ,of the character and
quality of man they wanted. Alter
the members had been elected and as
sembled at Harrisburg, and in defiancel
of this' plain manifestation -of public
sentiment, the, attempt was made to
carry Mr. Oliver through the, caucus
by main force; and it was this effort to,
override the popular *ill by the sheer
power of the Machine that aroused the
successful opposition and justified the
independentattitude of the fifty-six.
It was the same feeling that created
the strong hostility to General Baily's
nomination for. State Treasurer. The
public expression on all sides had clear
ly designated Senator -Davies as the
popular choice. The people, expected
and approved his nomination, and the
delegates were elected with, this `gen
eral understanding. During all !the
earlier stages of . the canvass GeneTal
Baily's name Was nowhere mentioned,
and it was,not until most of the dele
gates had been 'chosen and just befoie
the convention, that the determination
to nominate him was announced. He
was carried; through the convention,
..:
just as the attempt had ,been 'made 'to
carry Mr. Oliver tYrough the,. Senato
rial caucus, not in r es ponse to puli!lic
sentiment h by employing all 'the
force of the m achine '; and it was this
undisguised , 'splay of machine power
in disregard of the popular will that ex
cited
the general resentment, 1 ,
Whatever else be .urged 'about the
prod nomination of General Beaver,
it ca not be said that it has 'not been
I.se
canvassed before the people. It is not
sprung upon a a caucus or a conve n t ion
at the last moment, like the movements
for Oliver or Bally. The candidacy
of General beaver has been openly an
nounced from the first, and the people
have had the opportunity of freely fitd
fully discusiing it, even if they have
not had the ;opportunity of directly
voting on it in the primaries' as they
ought to have had. If he shall be
nominated, it cannot be urged that it,
was consumated in defiance of public
sentiment by the obnoxious methods
. ,
employed in other cases. , _
Democratic newspapers have been con
tinually charging that the statement of
fraud and intimidation of Republican voters
at the elections in South Carolina were dll
manufactured, but if they have any sense
of fairness) they will hale ft; admit they
were wrong, for Mr. W. W;lcier, who was

Hampton even went so far as to openly in-,

A CONGRESS OF THE DEAD
. t
Heving mansion to visit what is known
as th Congressional Cemetery a few day's
since,\ we were struck with the large
o'num
ber of obelisks erected there to the memory
of departed mercibers of both branches of
the National Legislature who have died in
Washington since its permanent establish
ment as the National Capital: There are
over two hundred of these monumental
structures in this cemetery, a number nearly
equal to the present House of Reprernta
fifes, and they represent nearly every
State in the Union. To one who is emus
tomed to listening to the animated and
Sometimes angry debates in Congress; it can
readily be imagined what - thoughts • natur
ally suggest themselves while stenaing in
the midst of these columns erected 4i' the
memory of departed representatives of the
people, many of , whose voices,. though
hu4hetl in death yet spell, keth,- in the
im
press they have left upon the history of
their country; They link the past with the
present, and serve to remind, us , that all
thingOarthly are but transitory and that
but a step lies between the finite of earth
and the infinite of eternity. A word relat
ing to the history of this cemetery may.not
be out of place here. While it has come to
be known generally as the "Congressional
Cemetery," this is not charter name,
Coniress has DO jurisfiction over it, but it
has come to be thus knoWn and dm:ignited
from the; . fact that Congress has adopted it
as the Ore to mark the death Of members
who die m Washington. •The remains of
but few rest there, but an obelisk' or monu
ment of uniform structure is placed in this
cemetery; inscribed with the Atime, age,
'and date of death as a memorial of the
dead member. The 1 . Cemetery is' "Christ
Church Cemetery," and belongs to Christ
Church, Episcopal, of this city. The earliest
grave within the enclosure is marked 'lBO4.
'Lei the 78 years whichiiiave elapsed,

it 'has become veritable city of the ' l ama.

purpose of ascertaining the data. of burial

iNDEPENDENCE, ' Mo.. April 19.—A
cyclone swept throrigh Hrownsville.yes

portion was demolished. Six persons
were killed and twenty or thirty badly
injured.

the people had was a sudden roar
ing Bound. Immediatly a large, black
funnel-shaped cloud, appeared, coming
from the . south-west at the rate of one
hundred miles an hour. The cloud
when first,noticed, was apparently: two
milesdistatit, and hung flf.y yards above
the earth. When it reached the western
part of the town it dropped down almost
to the ground, and seemed to draw
everything wittdira radius of several
hundred yards up in the mouth of the
funnel. - It laid waste everything in its
path. Two strong brick buismess houses
were picked up like straws, and whirled
and twisted into shapeless ruins. FramO
dwellings were carried some distance
and dropped, smashing them into
kindling wood. Heavy timbers were'
carried several hundred -yards 1 through
the eri, and falling _end downward
stuck several feet into the ' ground.
Occasionally the funnel seemed to strike
the earth and would rebound some dis
tance into the air only to fall again and
continue the work of destruction.
The storm lasted less-than two:minutes
but twenty business houses' and dwell
ings were levelled. People in
,the street
were picked up and carried various dis
tances and hurled to the ground dead
or bruised almost beyond recognition,
Iwhile thOse in the buildings were buried
by the falling' walls and debris. The
, people uninjured were so terribly mit
-1 ed that no search was made for the dead
I and wounded for some time after the
I storm had passed. .
