Going for Brice. Some of the leading Democratic papers are criticising the selection of Brice as one of the U. S. Senators for Ohio. The New York irorld, the leading Democratic paper denounces him, as does also lltr's ir'eelly, which has lately been inclined to favor that party. Here is what it says on the subject: The intention of tho Constitution in creating the Senate was to provide a select body of men which should servo as a de liberative cheek upon the larger body of Representatives, thn.3 securing ample con sideration of all measures of national legis lation. It was of course assumed that as but two Senators were to bo chosen from each State, they would be men of signal distinction for public ability, experience, and intelligence. Suc-h a man. for instance, is Senator Sherman, of Ohio. lie is essentially a public man. He has proved his admirable capacity in high executive a well as legislative office. Unhappily he has been too intense a partisan, and has vainly sought to gratify his ambition by pandering to party spirit. But he is un questionably one of the most eminent ot public men now in active life.and an honor to the State of which he is a Senator. No intelligent American would deny that he is tho kind of man of whom the framers ot the Constitution supposed the Senate would bo composed, and of whom his State ma) be justly proud, whatever differences of political opinion may exist among his con stituents. His State, however, has just given him a singular colleague. It was fair to suppose ilint ilr. Sherman's political opponent-. desirous of elevating the prestige pf a party long discredited, wonld select a col league for Senator Sherman who by public character, ability, and .-orvice like his, or as nearly as might be. would have helped the effort of patriotic Democrats to regain for their party tho confidence of the country. If Mr. Brice, the Senator select ed by the Democrats, has any especial qualification for the Senate, it has not been made public. lie is a resident of New York, and if Ohio preferred to select a Senator from this city, it would seem that there must bo some plain and decisive reason for so unusual a course, which would at once answer the wondering question which the selection of Mr. Brice instantly excites. No such reason, however, has been suggested. Vet it is the universal belief that had ho boon a poor man. Democratic Ohio would not have comu to New York to take him for a Senator. In the same papers in which his nomination by the caucus was announced, it was stated that the late Republican Governor of Massachu setU, if he should wish to do so, might contest successfully at the next election the seat of one of her Representatives il he would pay $50,000. There no hint that his character, ability, and public scr vice without $30,000 would be of any av;iil in tbe contest for this public trust. It i not by such facts that tho happy progres of ]iopular institutions is illustrated or that high anticipations are justified. The de fence of the Ohio Democrats which is offer ed by sensitive friends, and which consists in the assertion that nobody can prove cor ruption against the new Senator, is merely art insult tf Fcstsendcn, of Chase, oi Seward, of Thnnnanf Lot it bo concede.l that the new Senator is a skilful partj manager like Senator (Juay. Does any in telligent man believe that it is even a sub stantial party advantage to select such Senators, instead of such as we have named, or that an}' party can long main tain itself by management of the addition, division, and silcno t.iljijol? COLOXEL BOH 1 N'LIKITSOTX declares "then is no reformation in degradation." Bob ought to know. DANIEL WEBSTER found the gift of a purse from his admirers a wclcomu help to loosen the grip of poverty during his last years in the Federal Senate, but then be was not a Democrat and did not live in Ohio. THAT little much for uni" The man attempted some sort of an ex plauation, winding up by saying that In expenses and those of the other delegates to Kbensburg including railroad fare, were paid, and that he was al-o given s."> The name ot the delegate who made tliis a'-.-er tiou is in tiie posse, ion of year curre pond cut. The West Virginia Governor ship. The contest over tho Governorship <>f "West Virginia is nesting a final decision before the Legislature of that State. The election took place in Jand if General , Nathan Goff succeeds in establishing his right to the office the Democratic obstruc tionists will have succeeded iti keeping him ont of it for tho. greater portion of the term to which he was elected. They are just now engaged in asserting that he ,-houltl not be seated beaase railroad la borers were colonized in the State on a line in which .Stephen B. l.lkins is a stock holder. Mr. Elkins being a Republican. The President of this road i< ex-Senator Ilenry G. Davis of West Virginia, a Demo crat. The majority of the members ol' the Board of Directors are Democrats. The accusation is therefore of much the same tvpe as the mud-llinging of Democrats against Democrats a little lurther west, in Ohio. The Fix It Is In. The World's Fair matter is in this fix: Chicago's prospects have considerabl}' di minished by what is virtually a union of Xew York. St. Louis and Washington against her. This has caused New ork to be very confident. As a clincher a bii was reported in the Xew \ ork Legislature appropriating .$10,000,000 lor the l air. It was expected this would be put through on the run. But it wasn't. Ten million of dollars, in the opinion of ccrtaiu Repub licans. was too much money at once to put at the disposal of Tammany in a Presiden tial year. Therefore the bill was hnng up Mriuit the P' >lilics that is i:. it to be considered. —I'ittsburg XUHI-I. Portersvllle. The latest catch, "la grippe." Common question, "John, have you got the grippe? Think so. I sneezed yester day. " Galey Glenn, Jr. spent a few days last week at Leaver Falls. There was preaching at the house 01 Mr, Isaac Moore on Tuesday evening of thin week. Miss Annie Scheidemantle, of Sharps burg. visited her uncles in town last.week. Miss Emma Miller is surviving an at tack of the pneumonia. Miss Kate Musser, whose parents live a mile east of town, died at Beaver Palls last week, we extend our heartfelt sympa thy to the family in their sore affliction.

Charley Kennedy and family, of Sharon, Pa., are Uie guests of Mr. Kennedy's par cuts this week. Ed. Kennedy's have taken up their abode ;i; the house lately vacated by the Tebay family. James Powell, our present obliging mail carrier talks- of resigning his position.

Heberling, Sr., and W. 11. lleb erling, Jr., spent last week with friends in Economy. W. JJ. Dunn and wife spent Sabbath with Mrs. Dunn'tf parents at Lancaster. Hal Heberling talks of withdrawing his name from the membership roll of the lodge at this place; buying the property at present occupied by Mr. \ anorsdalo, and boarding the school teacher next winter. How high is ambition! A general surprise was manifest in town on Monday morning when it was announc ed that Lily Lobm.i!i iut'l loft for Mis-ouri. There makes her second trip West having come home from there in the early sum mer. Her quiet and lady-like disposition have gained for her the esteem and res pect of many here who regret to sn:» her leave and who join with her family i:i wishing her a -uf'e journey and a happy life. Mr. Duncan, of Camp-run, visited Dr. Wilson's on Sabbath evening. The kindest-hearted man i.n record is supposed to live in the neighborhood <>f Portersville. He will come to town, tie his beast, take off his overcoat which lie substitutes tor a robe ot ln.r.ic blanket as a covering for the animal, and then do his shopping. After which he dons the coat again and returns to his domocile. A union of of the Presbyterian congrega tion here and the Princeton congregation is about to be perfected.

When tho cold wave struck us last week our gas run so low that it was advisable to rut oil'the supply some place; the Trustees of the Normal came to the rescue and con cluded to heat with coal until another well was drilled The present supply is strong enough for tho town. Prof. Moore mourns the loss of his child, an infant two weeks old. While never very strong, its life was not thought to bo in danger until the day it died. There were no services in the Presbyter ian church on Sunday, oil account of the illness of Hev. Cotton. Prof. Beer was called- to Callcnsburg by au unlooked-for telegram announcing the death of his mother. While away his two children were attacked by la grippe, and he was compelled to return leaving his family at his father's. Probably until la.st week none of us have realized fully that the Russian influenza was an epidemic; we have begun to under stand it in the light of experience. Not a family in Centerville or vicinity has entire ly escaped it; generally those affected by it were confined to their rooms but a few days, but there are a few serious cases. TllK prevailing disease is severe in the Western rural districts, as the following paragraph shows: The "devil" of the Kxfmurnt ottico is is laid up with the grip. This new dis ease would attack the only original Meph istophclcs if he resided in our midst. TUB only gleam of sunshine in the Dem ocratic State Committee meeting last week, was when the gentleman who was plead ing for Scrautim as the place to hold the convention announced that there would be free beer. Then there was a broad, beaming, blooming, beautiful smile, and a long drawn "Ah-h-h!" What a little thing will effect a capture.
