9ur New Officers.
At noon of Monday (Jan. 2d, 1593)
quite a number of the friends of Hon. John
M. Greer and District Attorney McJunkin,
assembled in tho Prothonotary's office to
gee them sworn into office. Judge Hazen
was present, and administered the oatb,
first to Mr. Greer ami then to Mr. McJnn
. kin in a dignified and propeT manner; and
* then everybody congratulated the smiling
and happy gentlemen who h.id reached
the goals ot their ambitions.
Judge Greer is so well known through
out the di»trictfor his affability and conrte
ousness, as well as legal attainments, that
we deem it unnecessary to add anything
to our« hearty congratulations and best
Irishes for a full and honorable term of the
high office he holds.
kt. C. F. L. McQnistion was sworn in
by Prothonotary Brown that afternoon.
Triß Andrews Hiirby election contest in
Crawford county promi«c» to be somewhat
of a boomerang affair for Andrews the
contestant, at least it starts out that way.
The ballot boxes in the four wards or
Meadville and of a township were epened
in eoTJrt.
In these five districts it was alleged that
there were 40 irregular votes polled, an.l
on examination it was found that 32 of
these were for Andrews and 8 for Bigby.
The ballot boxes of nearly every district
in the county are at the Sheriff's office,
and the ba lots of all persons claimed to
have voted contrary to law will be inspect
ed. to see for whom they voted. It is
thought there will be some interesting
developments when the Titusville boxes,
where Andrews had nearly all the votes,
are opened, as in one of the wards there
every man on the registration list was
counted, althrougb the assessor had mark
ed several "Gone."—Sharon Herald.
Needed Postal Reforms.
Among the commemorations of Columbus
year there is to bo a n«w issue of postage
stamps with artistic designs appropriate to
the occasion. It is well that tbe iesthelic
sentiment should be cultivated, even in
such an ordinary things as a postage stamp.
But a more beneficial outcome of the
World's Fair congress would be tbe
adoption of au international postage stamp,
to be sold by every country tbroughomt the
Postal Union and receivable for letters
and packages in all parts of the allied
service.
Another must urgently needed reform is
the introduction of more rapid delivery
than that which our railways afford, espe
cially in conuei tion with large cities. En
rope is ahead of us in this respect. Letter
dropped in tho Paris Post Office are deliv
ered in Berlin, seven hundred and tittj
miles distant, in an hour and a half b)
of pneumatic tubes. A beginning is
proposed here, between New York ami
Brooklyn,which certainly deserves success
If it proves practical the governmeni
should take up the matter aud extend to
all parts of the United States a pneumatic
tube system, to be the property of the Post
Office and to be operated exclusively by
that department.—New York Hrruld.
SPEAKING of "old-timers" in the legisla
ture, Hon. Geo V. Lawrence of Mononga
hela City, said: "When I was first asked
last fall to run for the Legislature," Mr.
Lawrence continued, "I refused, but
consented when I understood tha'
Bnckalew and ex-Senator Wallace would
return. I was under the impression it
would bo an old-time House, and I thought
I would like to go back. But Buckalew
and Wallace won't be there, and I am dis
apointed. I served with Bnckalew in the
Constitutional convention, and I always
considered him the ablest Democrat in the
State. He was so modest aud such a gen
tleman. I remember ho was very kind to
me, and our dfference in politics had noth
ing to do with our social relations. Mor
ton McMicbel, of Philadelphia, sat with
me iu the constitutional convention, and,
after we bad been at work for several
weeks, he said: "Lawrence, I nover beard
muqh about Buckalew, but he is a wonder
fully brilliant maa.' His estimate was cor
rect.
"Buckalew, like Judge Jere Black, was
very careless about his dress. I remember
one day I was walking down Chestnut «t ,
in Philadelphia, with bim Bis coat was
badly torn, and ho stepped into a tailor
ghop to have it repaired. Tho tailor told
.him to come back in a few hours and gave
him a white duster to wear in the mean
time. Unmindful of his appearance, Buck
alew worked iu tbe convention all after
noon. The members laughed a good deal
about his duster, for it was out ol season,
but it never dawned upon him that he
looked ridiculous."

Restriction of Immigration.
The sentiment of restricting immigra
tion or prohibiting it for a time altogether,
is gaining ground iu this country among
all classes. It is clear thut the United
States has been tbe favorite dumping
ground of Europe. Here she has seut her
vicious, poor and improvident clauses.
From all countries in Europe they come,
until we have as many as we can absorb,
without introducing disturbing elemeuts in
to society. Of course the United States is
composed largely of citizens of foreig l :
blood. The average citizen here is a mix
ture of two or three races. You can hardly
find ono who cannot trace his lineage lo
German, French, English or Irish extrac
tion. It is common to hear one say: "Well (
I am partly Irish, French or Ger
man." There are no pure blooded people
here, exoept among tbe original immi
grants. Americans are a mixture of all
It is not from any pride in blood that
the sentiment against immigration exists
It in rath(i£ because the country is being
flooded with the worst classes of the Eur
opean nations and theso persons, when
they got here, enter into competition with
the American laborers and create a strug
gle for wages, which is becoming too fierce
to bo restrained within peaceable limits
Tbesa ignorant men are not seeking free
dom, are not animated by the spirit of our
institutions, yet they are made American
citizens aud clothed with all the rights of
American freemen. They vote, they ming
le with the people, they compete with
American labor, and this sharp competition
is what makes the future uncertain.
Much might be said as to the political
danger springing from this ignorant class,
but tbo demand for restriction seems now
to rest on tbo necessity of protecting Amer
ican laborers against unfair and ruinous
Competition. Ttie restriction which the
country will approve is such as will give
protection to wages, as prices in manufac
tured goods are protected b> a tariff. Iu
other words it Is the application of tbe Re
publican principle 01 protection to iiumi
giation. There is reason iu all things, and
restriction or regulation of ibis matter
should be moderate. There is always a
golden mean and Hint should he sought
out and adopted.— Ex.

Meeting of the Legislature.
The greater number of the legislators of
the state reached Harrisburg during the
latter part of last week.
There were several aspirants for the
Speakership of the House.butata meeting.
Saturday evening, all withdrew excepting
Thompson of Warren county and Walton
of Philadelphia. It was expected that
Thompson would win and that the officers
of the House would be: Speaker. C. C.
Thompson; chief clerk. Charles Vorhees;
reading clerk, J. B. Rex; journal clerk, un
known; resident clerk, J. D. Patterson,
and of the Senate: President pro tem.,Gen.
.T. P. S. Gobin; chief clerk, E. W. Smiley;
reading clerk, J. 11. Carson; journal clerk,
in doubt.
At the caucus of the Republican mem
bers of the House that evening Mr. Wal
ton withdrew,and Mr. Thompson was nomi
nated for Speaker by acclamation, and Mr.
Vorhees got the Chief Clerkship in some
manner.
The caucus of State Senators continued
Gen. Gobin as President pro. tem., E. W.
Smiley of Franklin as Chief Clerk; .las. L.
Brown of Philadelphia as Journal Clerk;
Jas. M. Carson of Butler as reading Cierk;
and approved of the other appointments
made by its State Committee.
The chief topic of conversation that
evening was the Andrews —Higby contest.
Mr Andrews was in town with Gen. Reed
er, chairman of the state committee. He
has with him a certificate for the seat from
the Court of Crawford county and a dupli
cate of said certificate has been harried
here and filed with Mr. Harrity in the ol
fice of the secretary of the commonwealth.
Mr. Higby is here also, having with him
a certificate from the election board, as
signing to him the seat which Mr. Andrews
also claims.
Chairman Reeder made this statement
oftheca-e: Mr. Andrews will present as
bis credentials to the resident clerk of the
house a certificate from the CourtofCraw
ford county. A duplicate of this certifi
cats, Gen. Reeder says, has been filed with
the secretary of state. There can be no
appeal from the county court except to
the house, according to the decision of the
supreme court in the O'Neil contested
election case. The court in that case
waived jurisdiction on the ground the
bouse was the final resort,and the supreme
court being a court of final resort could
not act in any case where there was a
higher tribunal of the state.
Senator Jesse M. Baker, of the ballot
tame, when asked what would be done
with the voting system during the coming
session he said. "The law will not be re
pealed It has given general satisfaction,
and when a few slight changes are made
the I ant reasonable objection will be met
One amendment which I have will reduce
the size of the ballot one-balf. It will pro
vide for omitting the residence of each
candidate after bis name. The residence
can be certified to the Secretary of the
Commonwealth for purposes of identifica
tion. but they are unnecessary on the
ticket. lam not in favor of abolishing the
'group'feature. It requires a little ra.>re
tare on the part of the voter, but that is s
eood requirement to have. Nearly all ol
the outcry against the new system ba
disappeared, aud I look for it to become
recognized as an excellent and permauem
institution.
On Tuesday, the Legislature mot.
The Senate was soon organized and ii
working order, and during the day a nam
her of bills were presented, among then'
one by Senator Henninger, provided tha'
ihe license fees for wholesalers, bottlers
aud brewers shall £o to the city, borough
or township wherein the license is granted,
and one by Senator Penrose, amending th<
mercantile tax law so as to exempt from
taxation all merchants whose sales are
nnder $3 000 annually, the present limit
being SI,OOO.
Tl.e House organized by electing tin
officers named above, the vote on Speaker
oeing: Thompson 135, Riter 09. The roll
call was then begun, and when Clerk
Voorbees reached Crawford otunty he an
nounced that he had received a certificate
from the Court of that county which would
be read. This was objected to, an angrv
discussion followed, the certificate wa
read, Andrews' name was placed on tbi- |
list, and at the end of the roll call both he
and Higby were sworn into office.
Secretary Harrity then appeared and
with an emphasis that, in view of the
action of the House, seemed to impress the
majority with a sense of deep guilt, an
uounced that he had the honor to present
a certificate from the Court of Crawford
county, which had been filed in his office,
as required by law and which is now filer
with the Speaker, as required by law
The Republicans bore Mr. Harrity'Bimplied
rebuke with calm resignation, aud an ad
journrnent was bad until 3 o'clock.
When both branches met after dinner. |
Private Secretary H. I). Tate presented
Hie Governor's message, which was read.
There was little pretense of listening to it
aud it occasioned absolutely no comment ,
except as to its length, one member quot
ing Benjamin F. Butler's remark about
John A. Bingham's speech at theimpeach
merit of President Johnson, that "In ordei
to make it immortal he hail made it eter
nal."
As soon as it was ended in the House.
Mr Wherry started the row over the An
drews matier by offering a resolution set
ting forth that Wilbnr P Higliy had been
giveu a certificate of election to the House
which bad been forwarded to the Clerk,
but not read; that, in con»eniicnce thereof
his name was not on the rolls, and thai
the clerk be directed to place his name
thereon and furnish him with a seat.
Ex-Speaker Boy er raised a point of order
against the preseutation of the resolution,
hu' by general agreement dfbate WHS per
mitted. Mr. Boyer argued that, upon
presentation of the court's certificate, the
House must do as it had done and that
Higby must now contest:
John Cessna made a strong speech in
favor of the resolution, asserting that the
Clerk had no certificate from the court,
which he had a legal right trf*receive. Hig
by had been a member of the House since
December 1. His title was as good as
Cessna's own, aud when the Clerk accepted
from any quarter auy certificate except
that sent to the Secretary of the Common
wealth ho had violated the law. This was
a question of right aud justice, and be ap
pealed the magnanimity of the majori
ty not to violate the Constitution aud the
law for a mere trivial triumph.
Mr. Cotton, of Allegheny, seconded Mr
Cessna's plea, while Messrs Boyer,Walton
aud Bytle opposed them and \V~berry,Skiu ;
ner and Fow presented the Democratic ar
guments Finally the resolution wus sent
to it special Committee by a Vote of
117 to 75, Cessua, Col ton,ex-Speaker Hew
lit, of Blair; Rilter. of Philadelphia; Jet
frey, ot Luzerne; Kennedy, of Schuylkill,
and Moore, of Chester, Republicans voting
with the Democrats.
Mr. Cessna was vigorous in his denuncia
tion of the action of the House, while ex- ,
Speaker Hewitt characterizes it as "mon
strous." Several other leading Republi- ,
cans think that a mistake was made They
do not object lo the seating of Andrews
hut hold that Higb; should hare been seat
ed aud then on the receipt of the certifis
cate from the court by the Speaker, as the '
act of 1874 provides, be should have bee>
at ouco unsealed and Mr Audrews sworn
in Should Higby contest as be likely
will, a great many Republicans will be ,
placed iu a somewhat awkward position, a
there is scarcely a county in the State in (
which townships do uot vote iu boroughs,
which votes, according to Judge Bender
son's decision, are illegal. Wilson, of Ad
ams, one of the lew Republicans ever sent (
from tbe county, owes his election to votes
cast in that way.
Secretary Harrity was very much exer- '
ci <ed over the action of the Republicans
in seating Andrews, and said that Clerk
Voorbees -'had no more rignt to place his ,
name on the roll hy virtue of a certificate
from ibo Crawford County Court, than ho
would have bad on a certified copy of the *
ten Commandments."
A concurrent resolution was adopted
adjourning until Thursday, January 12, \
at4p in It had been intended to adjourn
until.!anuary 16, hot it was discovered 1
that the law requires that both Houses j
shall certify to each other the names of all
persons nominated for United Stales Sena- J
tor at least two days before the meeting of y
the joint convention. Consequently, the
Kupublican caucus, which was fixed to
meet January 17, the day for the election (
of a Senator, must bo held sooner, and will
probably meet on the proceeding Thursday
evening.

Gov. Patti-.on* message to the leg is] a- (^
tare ii quite a leugthy document, covering
a great variety of questions. In discussing
the Homestead troubles he says: "Armed
bodies claiming the right to redress the ;
wrong'of ihe employe and protect the
rights of the employer confronted each
other in hostile array, resulting in riot,
bloodshed and murder " After comment
ing on the efficiency of the national guard
in restoring and preserving order he says:
"The cost in this trouble will cot bo con
sidered if it be followed by greater love of
liberty, obedience to law and support of
the public authorities, for in this we have
a sure guarantee ot tbe pertuauance of our
republic."
The finances of the State are in a most
gratifying condition, notwithstanding the
unusually large expenditures for common
schools, for the suppression of the lawless
ness at Homestead, and for other purpos
es. He again recommends a more equal
distribution of the burdens of taxation, the
farm lands being in special need of relief.
To this end he would collect the entire
cost of the state government from corpora
lions a< d from ccliaterate inheritances.ar.J
would turn into tbe county treasuries tbe
receipts from other forms of personal prop
erty to the end that real estate therein
might be proportinately relieved of tai
burdens.
Among other recommendations which
the message contains are the abolition of
the merchantile rax: changes in the bank
ing law of 1891; legislation to enlorce art
lcles 16 and 17 of tie Constitution, to
guard against such flserant abiMes a< the
anthracite coal combination; to prohibit
the exercise by the commonwealth of the
right to stand jurors a«ide; revision and
amendment of the Bat ef ballot law; re
aportionment under the last census; the
choice ol presidential electors by repre
sentative districts; free text books for the
common schools; the pas-age of bill
(defeated at last session) for tbe health and
safcy of persons employed in bituminous
coal-mines, and regulation for the con
struction of dams so as to guard against
such calamities as those at Johnstown, Ti
tusviile and Oil City.
In regard to a remedy for strikes, riots
and insurrections the governor calls atteu
lion to the fact that there is uow upon the
statute book of the state as ju«t an arbitra
tion law as conld be framed, and under
which the whole differences al Homestead
might have been adjusted peaceably
Tnis teaet-es that legal arbitration is futile
What then it tbe remeJyT The govenor
snggests it is to lie found iu greater devo
tion to our laws and institutions, accom
panied by a patriotic spirit, without which
oar laws are in vain. There can be no in
termediate pow-r between the local con
stabulary and tbj military for the suppres
sion of lawlessness, and legislation is rec
ommended forbidding the introduction of
armed bodies of men without the consent
ot the count}' or state. He also recom
mends that severer penalties be imposed
for interference with individual rights of
person or propertv, either by threats, in
timidation or violence, open or covert.
These recommendations arc all dtserv
ing of the seriouß consideration of the leg
islature. It is not expectiug too much at
the hands of the law making body that they
will not only be discussed but acted upon
in a fair, impartial and patriotic manner?

are requested to meet in the M. E. Church

Briggs was Acquitted.
After a trial lasting 30daysProf. Charles
A. Brigtfs was acquitted at New York, last
Friday afternoon upon every oue of the
cnarges of heresy brought against him by
tbe Committee of Prosecution. Wnen the
members of the Ecclesiastical Court filed
out the Old Scotch Presbyterian Church in
Fourteenth street a few minutes before <>
o'clock to night, the jubilant and radiant
faces of Prof. Briggs' partuans told the
whole story.
"Prof Briggs has been acquitted," said
one of them to the reporters who had been
waiting outside tbe closed doors, "and he
isn't a heretic, after all."
President Hastings and the faculty of the
Union Theological Seminary were espe
cially pleased with the verdict, which was
of such importance to their institution.
It seems that in the last few days there
Have been seveial unexpected additions to
the ranks of the Brigirs forces, but his
friends made no boasts and the vote was a
great surprise to the opposition.
HOW THE SKVBBAL VOTES VARIED.
There were 12H and elders who
voted on every charge. The strongest vo'e
for Prof. Briggs was 73 in his favor and 49
against him, and his weakest showing was
on charge 111, where the vote stood 07 in
his favor and 01 against him on the princi
pal items. Upon his doctrine of sancti
tication, charge VI, the vote stood 69 to
57. and on charge 111, accusing tbo pro
fessor of leaching tbe errancy of the scrip
tures, tbe vote was 07 to 61, the closest
vote on any of the charges.
The voting began a little before 4 o'clock,
and wa.- tiuished in less than two hours
I'lie first two hours of the session was de
voted to three.minute speiches of those
ministers and elders who bad not been
reached yesterday. Not more than half
availed themselves of the privilege.
There were six roll calls on the voting,
one for each lor tbe six charges, aad on
each roll call members of the court voted
first on the specifications and then on the
items under each charge.
On Saturday Dr. Briggs was yet receiv
ing the eongra tulations of his friends over
the vote returned in his favor by the court.
But be is not at all elated. Ue is almost
broken down by the strain of the long
trial
"I am tirod of it all," he said wearily,
"but the case is hy no means near an end.
I have no doubt that it will bo appealed.
They have no right to appeal direct to the
general assembly of the l'reebyterian
church at Washington," he said, "and iu
ct-e they do I shall certainly protest their
action. 1 shall take no action unless the
other side does. It is fot them to move
first now, and then I can follow."
Dr. Briggs stated that he wonld resume
his lectures at the Union theological semi
uary next Wednesday.

An Example of Mora! Courage.
There are few of us who n yonth escap
ed being immensely bored by much praise
of moral courage. Commendatory lectures
on this subject, next to remark- applaud
ing truth. are, perhaps, the most disagree
able things that a sinail boy has to face;
and when he grows up. he observes that a
man can get along very weli in Congress
without either alleged desirable quality.
It used to be, if we mistake not, that
such men as Martin Luther were held up
as examples of moral heroism. Later re
searches seem to confirm the view that
Luther did have a fair amount of this com
mendatory virtue. He did very well for
his time, but he wouldn't have cut much
of a figure on this threshold of the twen
tieth century —a conviction regarding the
situation which becomes unavoidable since
accounts of Mr Howard Watson, ol Fox
Lake. Wisconsin,have begun to c«me ia.
The people of Wisconsin propose to send
Mr. Watson to the World's Fair, and have
him mounted in twin grandeur with the
largest monolith ever quarried. But let
us come to the point without any further
throwing about of idle words.
We do not need to inform the intelligent
student of the Bsdger State that the town
of Fox Lake, the home of Mr. Watson, is
near Wajpun. nor that at Waupun is situ
ated one of the State-prisons The uni
form worn in this institution is the usuai
one of the black and white endless stripe;
indeed, some close observers claim that
the Waupun uniform is the stripedest in
existence, though it is probably only the
I sraadard thing. At any rate, it is striped
1 enough, and a man cotild not wear one and
mingle in general society mnch without
siMiner or later attracting attention. Now
I it • ppears that last October a man named
Con ley. feeling that he was not treated
with that openness and confidence which
h»; liked in Waupum prison, broke out one
night and escaped. He made his way
under cover of the darkness to Fox Lake
Here, as it began to grow light, the in
hartroniousness of bis costume with gener
al outside nature began to impress itself
apon him. and he looked about for a
change In passing through the outskirts
of town he came to the dwelling of Mr
Howard Watson. Observing an open
window, the migratory Conley crawled in.
Mr Wa'son slept the sleep of the innocent
As he thus slumbered, the unconventional
Waupun jailbird exchanged clothes with
him. and winged his way thence with a
lighter heart. In the morning, when the
unsuspecting Watson arose and saw the
striped costume on the chair where he had
left his clotnes the night before, he was at
first speechless. Then lie took in the situ
ation. and made some clear, ringing re
marks. which we do not find it necessary
to set down here. He then started for the
closet to get his other suit. He paused
with his hand on the latcli. Then he turn
ed, and said, in a loud voice: "No. I'll
not do il. I'll not be buncoed this way
I'll wear them clothes that the cutthroat
left if it kills me!" He bad nailed his
thesis on the church door. He nut on the
striped suit, a d found it an excellent fit.
Mrs Watson objected, foolishly, iike a
woman—a woman has no moral bonrage
anyhow—but Mr. Watson put on the suit
Mr. Watson's business is that of market
gardening. This takes him much about
the streets of Fox Lake, as he drives from
house to house to dispose of his vegetables
On the eventful morning of which we are
speaking. Mr. Watson started out with bis
|..ad of -'truck,'' as usual. Before nine
o'clock he was heard to remark to himself,
as he made a vicious cut at his horse with
the end of the lines, that he never kuew
that dress so much difference before
"They don't look at the man no more," be
said, as he threw a potato at the patient
animal, "but at the clothes he wears."
But no thought of a backward step crossed
the rigid mind of Howard Watson. He
dealt out half-bushels of onions and small
measures of carrots with a calm,
brow. Small boys and peisonal friends
asked foolish questions and made super
fluous comments, but he heeded thoin not
Before noon he was arrested by searching
prison officials and taken over to Waupun
He of couse established his innocence, ami
got back to Fox Lake in time to finish his
vegetable route. His wife made further
weak aid feminine remarks when he re
turned home, but he remained unmo\ed.
From this exciting day to the present
time Mr Watson has continued to wear
the highly accentuated prison garments.
Mrs. Watson reports gloomily to the neigh
bors that there is no prospect of their ever
wearing out. "There is one thing,though,
that 1 will ever do," adds Mrs. Watson,
firmly: "I will never cut them clothes
down for Willie " Mr. Watson has been
am -ted and dragged to Waupun by eager
i.ffii-rrs eight tiini*s He has been shot at
by luurii zealous officials live times. Over
two hundred times he baa had to endure
the cheap wit of friends who have asked
biiu why be doesn't get the ball and chain
which naturally go with the suit But of
none ol these things has the heroic Watson
complained. Daily bo goes about his
work.and does his duty as he see it Some
people ibink that tbey detect him wince

THE PENSION ROLL.
Its Real Cause--In Arswer to the Demo
cratic Herald.
EDITOR CITIIKX:-Tbe lleralil o fla.«t week
prints some extracts from other papers
(and thereby make* the matter its owns on
the pension q test ion, that for maliciotn
cu?»ednes4 and downright lying takes the
take. The Dem->oratic and mngirainp pa
pers have for years k-pt up a tirade atrain-t
and misrepresentation of the pension qne
tion to such an extent that it is naoaeatinir
to fair minded people everywhere One of
the Hcrahfn »lipping* calls lora"pahliahed
list of pensioners." alleging that many
frandalent cases would thus l>e discovered.
If the HeraUl will jnst think a moment, it
will call to mind mat the whole list of
pensioners was published several years atfo
in response to just «nch taiM; assertions as
the Herabi has now niveii place in its col
umns II"W manf fraudulent pensioners
were found on the list at that timet Not
one wan to he found in this section, and
we heard of none in any other part of the
country, and the very best evidence that
the pension roll contained no fraudulent
cases was the fact that the Democratic pa
pers did not publish any. Had there been
any unearthed, you can rest assured it
would have been publi-hed from "Dan to
Beersheba," with groat headlines by these
worthies, for if there is anything that
comes near parallel with shaking a red
rag before a Spanish bull it is to say "Pen
sions for Union soldiers" to the average
Democratic editor. But we defy the Her
ald or acy of the papers from which it
takes its clippings to point to a single in
stance where a pensioner, regularly on the
rolls, is drawing his pension fraudnlently.
If any such there be. give us the facts and
we will warrant the roll will b<; cleared as
soon as the matter can be attended to. It
is true the pension full is a large one.
A vast amount ot money is paid out every
year to the maimed defenders ot our coun
try, their widows and orphans, but the
question naturally arises, wby do we have
a pension roll at al!t Wby are there so
many thousands opon thousands of widow
n the country bereaved of their natural
support. that has to some ertent to l>e
made np by the pen» ; ons that they draw
from the Government? Wry so many or
phaned children that have to lie cared for
in such a wayf To answer these questions
opens up a wide field, and shows for h in
glaring colors the record of the Southern
end of the Democratic pary. Every
school-boy knows that it was the result of
the rebellion inaugurated by the head and
front of the Democratic part) —the South
ern wing of it—that for fiendish cruelty,
wickedness of purpose, and want of cause
has not its equal in the history of the hu
man race. Over three hundred th usand
lives were sacrificed by the Union lovers
of the land in lighting this rebellion to the
death; over two and one half millions of
men were called into the field before the
terrible conflict was ended, and when it
was finally crushed out, tho Uni.-n saved,
and the debris of battle cleared away,
then the people began to realize at what u
fearful cost of treasure and blood that in
iquitous Democratic rebellion was over
thrown —hundreds of thousands of home
all over this broad land left desolate and
tne inmates therof clad in the habiliments
of mourning tor the loss of a father, a son
or brother sacrificed upon the alter of their
country and all chargeable to the leaders
of the Democratic party. This is why *>■
have a pension roll" The Democratic
par'.y was the cause for it all, and il the
Herald had any re-peet for the heroic dead
wrio.se widows are upon tho lint, or the
maimed or C'ippleil veterans whose hero
ism. valor ami endurance crushed out tbo
rebellion, saved the Union, and mado the
country worth living in, it would think
long before giving space in its columns to
such tirades against pensioners as it did ii<
last week's i»»ue. The least Democratic
editors my about pensioners the better, for
every time the subject is referred to it is
a painful reminder that the Democratic
party was the cause of all this •tremenilu
ous outlay " they talk so much about. One
strange tiling aiiout it all is this, you never
hear a Democratic editor say a word about
the Mexican pension bill that Grover Cleve
land signed with such alacrity, when at
the same time be refused to sign the de
pendent pension bill that would have
brought joy and gladness to many a house
hold and poor widow in all parts of the
country Why don't they rail against that
piece of legislaiiouf The reason is very
plain—Democratic editors never hurt their
friends. The Mexican pension bill placed
the soldiers of the Mexican war on the roll,
nine-tents of whom bad either been in tin
rebel army or were too old to be. but, liv
ing in the South gave aid and comfort to
the rebellion. "Consistency thou art a
jewel." For shame's sake, gentlemen ot
the Herald, have some decency about you
and don't insult every living soldier.or the
widows and orphans of those
thai are dead, by printing such false and
libelous clippings from other papers as last
week's irsue id your paper contained

Decision for Andrews.
At Mcadville last Saturday Judge H-n
--derson read an opinion awarding the seal
in the State House of Representatives to
William H Andrews W. P. Higby had
au apparent majority of 28 votes, and au
examination of tho ballots of unregistered
voters whose affidavits were defective in
creased the Higby majority to 53.
This would indicate Higby's official ma
jority if the contest had not been carried
further, but Andrew * had challenged the
legality of the vote of Sparta. Cambridge
and Pine townships on the ground that the
elections were held in the adjoining
boroughs insteail of the township districts.
On this point the Court ruled in favor of
the contestant's cont-ntioii by throwing
out the vote of the three to.msiips, which
gives Andrews a tmijority of ."•! and the
legislative seat as far as tlie contest l>eb re
that court is concerned.
