The Republican people and press of this State are just now engaged in an open con sideration of th# party situation and of the candidates in the field for the Guber natorial nomination. It is a very whole some thing. If it is carried on with the single purpose of bringing out the real party sentiment and allowing it to be so shaped as to obtain the best results, the discussion must prove most beneficial. There is need, however, of the utmost fair ness and entire absence of acrimony if any good is to follow. The Republican party is entitled to, and doubtless will, make its own nomination reunite to follow are of a very important character, and the supremacy of the party whose principles were so unmistakably ap proved by the people at the last Presiden tial election is not to be put in peril by subversion of the will of the Republican masses or any interference with the free action of the party in roakine its choice of candidates. "We do not believe there is any such purpose. Leaders, and thone in influential party position, will hare their preferences, doubtless, but these will be accepted by the party as they are wise or rejected as they are unwise. There are several announced candidates for the Republican nomination for Gover nor, and until recently very little interest was manifested in the drift of the canvass. Within the past few days that has changed. The whole field is now under review, and this is the time for it. There are great apprehensions in some quarters of party disturbance and party peril. We cannot olose our eyes to this fact. If these appre hensions are real this is the time to inquire into their cause. We cannot afford to ▼ait until after the Convention, when it ■will be too late to remedy mistakes. This ia what the present general Tliscussion of the situation means. The place to settle Eepublican diffi culties is inside the Republican party. This has not always been done, but when we have failed it has been at such a sacri fice that the lesson has proved impressive, and no one can now be unmindful of it. Ko man's interests, whatever they are, should be allowed to stand in the way of the always greater and broader interests of the Republican party, which are also the interests of the people at large. The man who is nominated for Governor this year must be one who can command the confi dence and support of the Republican voters, there will then be no fear of the result Tne name of the candidate will be of no consequence so long as the man is the choice of the party itself. Por that reason there should be the widest and freest discussion ef candidates previous to the Convention. That is now in progress. Conducted in a spirit of fair ness and unselfishness, as it ought to be, no candidate who is fit to bear the standard of the Republican party will fear to have the strongest light turned upon his record and character.— Philadelphia Press. Ik the flooded districts of Louisiana the buffalo gnats which swarm in vast num bers, are killing the stock with their stings. They soon sting to death an unprotected horse or mule. Even men have fallen victims to their bites, the bodies turning almost black from the effects of the many thousands of stings. Several persons wore killed by them in 1883 and 1884. Two hundred farms in Xew Jersey have been sold at Sheriff's sale owing to the Supreme Court's decision that township tax titles are invalid. The occnpauts of the farms are heart broken at having the savings and labor of years taken from them. The State Canvass A recent dispatch from Washington, ■aid: The recent visit of State Chairman An drews to Washington has developed a suspicion that a new program has been agreed upon in regard to the Guberna torial canvass in Pennsylvania, namelv: that the slaughtering of Delamater is to be done by the Chairman, while Quay keeps his hands out of the matter. It would be just as effective to have Andrews show a marked indifference to Delamatcr's suc cess as to have Senator Quay pronounce against him, while it would relieve Quay of the charge of having been forced by public sentiment to abandon a candidate whom he allowed to be understood was his particular choice as a successor to Governor Beaver. Uuder the caption, "Senator Delama ter," the Philadelphia Press, in a leading editorial, publishes the charges made by •x-Benator Emery in his Bradford speech, and says: "We are not prepared to believe that such charges can successfully stand against Senator Delamater. He is a young man of ooncededly high ability and honorable ambition and at this time a leading candi dale fun lUt> UuuubUcau uumluaUnu fut Governor of the State. He cannot afford to remain silent under accusations such as these and coming with the emphasiti and from the source that these do. "Senator Delamater owes it not merely to himself, but to the Republican party, whose candidate for the great office ol Governor he expects to be, to meet these charges fully and completely and so stran gle them that there shall never again be a chance for anybody either inside or out side the party to use them. This is due the Republican people, who are now_ in possession of but one side of the story, and who may wrongly construe absolute si lence. Delay or failure to make convinc ing answer cannot but prove unfortunate. "The Press makes this request of Sena tor Delamater in behalf of the Repub licans of the State. It has taken no sides in the canvass for the Gubernatorial nomi nation; its candidate for Governor will be the nominee of the convention. The party requires, howei'Cr, that the nominee, whosoever he may be, shall be one against whose character no charges can be suc cessfully made. Senator Delamater can doubtless refute ex-Senator Emery's allega tions, and he ought to satisfy the whole Republican party of that fact. They are of too serious a nature to go un answered." IT is not safe for the Republicans to count upon an cany victory this year. The State ticket must be selected wisely and with practical unaminity, and the local tickets mast be made up of men unexcept ionable in character and must bo support ed with unwavering loyalty by all Kcpnb licans. This is no year for the exhibition of personal jealousies or the assertion of unwarranted personal ambitions. Bond the men of experience to the front, the men with cool heads and willing hands for counsel and work, and above all place no reliance on predictions of Democratic dissensions, at least until after the conven tion.—Kittanning Pr<w. Samuel J. Randall. Mr. Randall, who died after along and painful illness at his homo in "Washington yesterday morning, entered Congress in the year 1*63 and has served continuously since then. He was born in IS2*. and was therefore but sixty-two year old at his death. He was a mr.n of great courage, un common force of character, ot sterliuf.' honesty, and with deiinite and clearly eou ceived purposes in h'- public lite and re markable executive ability. The:-e quali ties enabled him to make a conspicuous career in the House. He was not in the common sense a partv man, though he was always a Democrat. At the beginning of the war ho enlisted and served as a private soldier, and was all through the war a war Demo crat. He was elected to Congress while still a private soldier in the field. lie soon became conspicuous in the House, where he asserted his own opin ions and found adherents for the policy he believed to be the best. Mr. Randall was a man of the type of Andrew Jackson. Like Jackson he was not a broad man, but in his own field and range he was master of his work, and im- Sressed his own individuality upon all he id and caused to be done. It is not too much to say that, coming to the head of tho Appropriations Committee at the time he did. there was not another man in either party who could have forced forward the necessary work of reform in the public expenditures as he did. It required the indomitable will, the persistent force and the great power of continuous labor which he alone had to bring the country back from the looseness of war expenditures to a peace establishment Later contro versies have caused his estimable services in this particular to be somewhat for gotten; but, after all, it was what he then heiran and later continued which gave lie. Of bis difference with his party in later times on the tariff and other questions it is not row necessary to speak. fJe had bis own views ou these questions, anil it wu inevitable that he should stand by them at all hazzards. What he believed right he did, and was not to be moved from it. He would rather be beaten than submit, and to use a common saying, "If he could not make a spoon he cor Id always spoil a horn. It remains to be said of hiin that he was a thorough American —one of the " plain people," whom Mr. Lincoln loved; true to his country, true to the people, simple in his tastes and habits, honest and sincere. It was his pride to live in a small house in one of the obscurer parts of Washington, and on a street which, though he was Speaker and Chairman of Appropriations during many vears. was among the last streets of the'eity to he decently paved, be cause he would not have it said that be used his great power to benefit himself. I? would be a good thing for the country if more of our public men were of like spirit with him. —A. 1. Herald of Monday. THE Standard Oil Company is a great affair and no mistake. According to Mr. Rockefeller, the company at the present time manufactures 3,500,000 gallons ol crude petroleum into different products per day. Two thirds of these products, of the value of $55,000,000 are exported. The company employs in its business a force of about 25,000 men. Quay and Fitler. A dispatch f.om Philadelphia, dated last Friday, said: Senator yuay left this city to-day much troubled in spirit and with gloomy thoughts of the Delamater can vass. To-night his forces are shattered, and if Delamater is to obtain any delegates at all in Philadelphia he will have to fight as he never fought before to get them. Mayor Fitler and Senator Quay held their final conference to-day. It lasted two hours, and when Senator Quay left the Mayor's house, he was in an ugly frame of mind. So angry was he that he declined to see his most intimate friends, and he hastily bundled np his traps and-disappear ed. Quay failed to move the Mayor in his allegiance to Hastings. Filler called upon Quay to heed the warning on all sides and not provoke the threatened revolt by forcing Delamater on the ticket. The Senator tried to evade the issue by saying that Delamater had made his own fight and that he coald not take him out. His Honor replied that he would do every thing in his power to send a solid dclega tion from Philadelphia to the State Con vention for Hastings. The Mayor next sent for Charles A. Por ter, Chairman of the Republican City Com mittee, and told him his ultimatum. I'or ter has always been one of Quay's trusted lieutenants and shares honors with Collec tor of Internal Revenue Martin in bossing the Quay machine in Philadelphia. When Porter left the Mayor he proceeded to the Quay headquarters and seut a cold shiver down the backs of the Quay crowd by an nouncing: "Gentleman, 1 am for Hastings, and as I have pledged myself to tbo Mayor, 1 will do all I can to elect Hastings delegates." This is the first serious break in the Quay ranks, and when Senator Delamater was subsequently informed of Porter having turned in with the Mayor he said: "I will win without Philadelphia." But nevertheless Delamater was as much aunoyed as 4uay at Potter's defection. The situation no» looks as if Bastings will get from 25 to 30 delegates out of the 39 to which Philadelphia is entitled, and perhaps more. Senator Quay felt confident last night that he would succeed in pilling tue Mayor away from Hastings, but he missed it. He found Fitler a more stubborn man than he calculated and he lost. There is no doubt now that the Mayor will order a tight all along the line. It is predicted that Collector Martin, who is still standing by Quay, will make only a half-hearted tight against Kitler because he owes much to the Mayor. When James McMunes was informed of the Mayor's coup to-night he said he failed to see where Delamater would even make a respectable showing at the Philadelphia primaries. It is reported that ex-Governor Hoyt is ready to join the Independents if Delamater is nominated. IT was Tom Corwin who said that "the only thing beyond the prescience of the Omnipotent is the verdict of an American jury." In a Cleveland murdor case, where the defendant knecked his man down and deliberately kicked the life out of hi:n, the jury brought in a verdict of "guilty of as sault and battery." This has caused no little J" law.l, n.- ~o" i' might. Oh! Mr. Andrews. Pittsburg Telegraph.

Clark responded to the above toa.-t as follows: "We are met to-night to celebrate the .r.iii'iver.-arv of the silver wedding of the forced anion of- these United States. Tw. ntv-five years ago to-day Gen. Lee and his army surrendered —gave up the attempt to divide the Union, and the word was flashed all over the civilized world that the war of the rebellion was at au cad. Some of my .-omrades who are present to-night were eye-witnesses to that glorious scene. Oh! how many hearts were mad'? glad oil that eventful day: how many fond fathers and loving mothers, whose sons hail been battling for the right, and who had escaped death, re joiced and thanked God that the«ruel war was over: how many noble, true and lov ing wives wept for joy at the prospect of having husbands and fathers safely home again; how many sweethearts went almost wild with eestacv at the very thought of knowing that their lovers had been spared to come back to them, and the veterans, how their hearts swelled with joy and i )r ide—joy to know that they would meet loved ones again, and to feel that their hardship?', their wounds, their patriotism had saved the Union, and preserved for them, their loved ones and posterity, the greatest and best republic on the earth. M\- friends is it not right and proper, that we should celebrate the ninth day of April? Can you not join heartily with us ,-i celebrating the surrender of Appo matox' Could we forget our comrades who ended their earthly labors, our joy to-night might be almost unalloyed; but as members of the Union Veteran Legion we here pledge ourselves to honor ami lore nil forth't comrades trho fought in the Ctiioii and helped to terminate that bloodv war. upon the day we celebrate.

And comrades of the T nion Veteran Legion, let us continue to cele brate in an appropriate manner, the day upon which so many hearts were made irfad, the day upon which we completed our oath-bound contract with the Govern ment, to continue to battle for its preserva tion for three vears more or during the war—the day that settled the question of State rights forever; the day that com pleted the freedom of three millions of human beings; the birthday of universal liberty; the completion of an inseparable union of States; the birthday ot a De mocracy in truth; the completion of a re public that has no equal—and as we march on nearer and nearer to the tinal roll call, let us continue to celebrate the day so pregnant with grand achievments. My comrades. let us not forget that frue happi hess consist* in battling for the right, and let us continue to fight on and on to the end. and try to consummate the grand achievements"begun on the day we cele brate. Well done, Mr. Blaine. Whatever else may come of the deliber ations of the Pan-American Congress, the agreement arrived at to hereafter settle all national disputes between any two of the Republics of Xorth, South and Central America and Uayti by arbitration will be esteemed as more tbun justifying all the labor and expense that have attended the sittings of the delegates. The only excep- tion from matters of dispute which inusfrbe arbitrated is in case a nation may believe its independent existence at stake, when arbitration may bo declined. The agree ment of the Congress is at once binding upon all the parties to it except the United States, the assent of which will not have been completed until after ratification by the Senate. The treaty is to remain in force twenty years after ratifications shall have been exchanged. After that time any nation dissatisfied with its terms may with draw upon one year's notice. This assurance of good understanding am-eig the States of America ought to have its effect in greatly reducing military and naval expenditures. It ought also to be an impressive lesson for the older States of Europe, which are wasting the resources of their people in maintaining vast military organizations to insure peace by perpetual readiness for war. An agreement of the great I'owers to arbitrate their difficulties would be the longest stride toward the millennium that Christianized nations have ever made.—Philadelphia Record The Dependent Pension Bill. The following are the principal points in the Dependent Pension Bill, as passed by the United States Senate: Section 1 provides fur a pension to all pare;: -of deceased soldiers or sailors who left no widow or minor children, and who are dependent on their own lalmr or the contribution of friends, to date from application. Section 2 provides that all persons who served three months in the army or navy who are now or may be hereafter inca pacitated from earning a living, and who are dependent upon their own labor shall be entitled to receive sl2 per month. Section 3 provides for a pension for the widow, minor children or dependent par eats of tho e described in the second section. Section 4 iucreases the pension of minor children from $2 to >r4 per month, and in ease of idiocy or total disability the pen sion shall continue for life. Section 5 provides that attorneys or agents shall charge no more than $lO for services in obtaining the above pensions under a penalty of .*SOO, or imprisonment of two years, or both.
