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 nr>mrft.noA • » remember this, the clay your father* l.e.L-d t celebrate, and always be ready to ueleud the Government in whose cause ronr fathers fought When the bloody hand of tri sought its overthrow and de -truction.

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. The Orphan Schools. There are now four schools in this State in which Soldiers' Orphans are provided for, i. e., those at Cnioutown, White Hall, Loysville and Butler. In his re port on the Butler school Senator Greer, male Inspector, says: The Butler school, so far as the build iis?- are in shape, is in excellent condition. The equipments are generally good, and the hool is succeeding nicely. The edn-at ional department has been reorgan ised and a new teacher added.
