TELE CITIZEN bt«r*4 at P» mean only that the reporter dwelU on what seems mcst shocking. On the other hftud all tne current reprobation by laws, editorials, and sermons may not prove tha public gambling is oontrary to tbe accept ed principles ol morality, in tbe face of the open existence of bucket-shops aud gamb ling houses. There is one, and only one, practical national moral standing: tbe con viction of the average mind as to what is right aud wrong. That oonvicUon may be Godgiven at oar birth; it may be implanted by our mathers, by our churches, or by our schools; it may be beaten iu by a police mau's '•billy;" but the actual American morality of the Nation is simply the "aver age man'*" stock of conviction. In many directions the average man has raised his own standard during the last hundred years, and is still raising it. To have abolished political privileges; to have accepted religious toleration; to have made druukenness disgraceful; to have learned to treat the pauper, the lunatio. aud the prisoner with humanity; to have destroyed slavery,—these are his splendid achieve ments. The country has accepted such new principles as right, and stands b> tbem. Cbarches begin to realize that they mast appeal to this average intelligence and sense of right, and therefore ministers dwell lightiv on the acceptance of doi triue and on religoas observances, and itronglj on good works; they look less to proof texts for the edification of thoir bearers. and more to the truth. While in the or dinary private affairs of life moral standards are on the whole advanc ing. the old standards no longer apply to tbe political and social matters which now absorb mucn attentionjfor the foundation of the Nation » judgements is undergoing a change. Yet politics and government and labor ques tions aa.l public ord-»r are as lap iiKle-u a» religion upon the average idea of what is praiseworthy and what is iniquitous; thej are all moral questions. One of tue evidences of a moral shifting is that so many people suppose that priv ate and public i>flairs have two standards: that it is wrong to use the employer's time for private gain, but right for u public of ficer to draw bis salary and then leave the regular ilati*a to s depaij; that it w wroijg to aectire * t«>r one'* iwlf brib ing a city council, but right to subscribe money to a campaign found to buy votes lor a party's advantage; or that a distinct ion may be made between the private and pnbiic character of public men. Americans seem rather more prone than loruierly to consort with Thomas, Richerd and He.iry if thereby tbey get aid or amusement. The leading idea of a book wnicb is said receutly to have sold a hua-lred thousand Copies in the D ited Stales seems .to be that, if yon can contribute to the enter tainment ol people, tbey are to reoeive you and make you a friend, no matter what your character. The sooundrel Sveng»lt is courted by three respectable English men, and allowed to acquire a fatal ii.fl l ence over their protegee, because he can play a folding flageolet. Think of tbe Svengalis in Americau politios, perfectly well knowu to be consorts aud partners of thieves and nnjust persons, and yet accept ed in political aud even personal fellow ship by honest men.—For«w, for January 1895. An effort will be m«de »t this aesaion of the Legislature to relieve the pressure on the Supreme Court by establishing en ap pel I ale court for the adjudication of sever al classes of cases that ere now carried di rectly In the higher court.

McKeau, Potter and Tioga counties, ilow the idea will strike the legal mind is not known, bnt to the lay mind the proposed plan would seem to be a good one. ORt>I*AFCY politeness is only a grinning mask. It is our inordinate self-conceit that makes as sensitive. What is said of you "behind your hack" is more likely to be an houe-tly expressed opinion than what is said in your preseuce. Instead of being angry, you should be pleased, when you ln-ar yourself cri'icised iu this way, for ti is a partial granting of the prayer of the genial Scotch poet, '•Oh. a ad some power the gift'd gie us To see ourselves as iihers sec Ust" But *e love flattery better than sinceri ty. Uence when people speak dispara gingly of us, we get angry, and try to per suade ourselves that they have not ex pressed their real opinion, bet one dicta'- ed by envy or revenge, aud when they apeak approvingly we lake il as a deserv ed tribu'r to our worth.

Spirit The Eastern War. Ki-v. Blodget of B**tfn, who ha* spent thirty years at Pekin »ays ol the war: Among the common people of China very liitle is known regarding either the causes of the war or the tacts oc> uring in its progrei..", and the wild**' and moat ab surd rumor» are afloat The same "is true in regard to a large part of the officials and literarj men. Iu Japan, ou the con trary, everything is published, and per hans some things which do not occur, in their nuineronß newspaper*, and their cities and to»ns are illuminated at every victory over th>- Chinese. In consequence parity of 'his. the most intense eiitbusi«am for the war prevails, even the boys and the girl* in the schools practicing military drill. '"On to Pekin" was the cry every where ss we pa**»d through the country '•S« treaty until Pekin is taken."

The Blair-White Fuss. At Indiana, Thursday, witnesses who testified that they got money, claimed that it vu not for their votes. hut to pay them tor their day's work. The ballot box of the firm ward, Blairsville, opened and it wan found that about a doien votes were illegal. They are nearly ail for White. Toe boxes of White township and Went Indian • were opened, and aboat the same st.te of afftirs discovered Oa Friday Eli J. Campbell told the story ©u me stand that when he started for the polls early on election morning he was a Blair man. On the way he met J. Nickle, and the latte.'s insinuating manner work ed a inarveioas political change in bis feelings Niokel, be said, told him that if he would vote lor White he would see that he did not lose his day's wages Eli wavered and told tbe election board it was all right for Nickle to accompany him into the booths. Nickle showed him how to mark his ballot, aud presented him with a paper dollar. Bert Petffer was a very nervous witness, and looked as though he wished he had never gone to the polls. Just before tne election he was in Indiana, and thinking he could do Judge White some good in his territory if he had a little "persuader, wrote the judge a letter to that affect. He handed the letter to tbe judge in person. Frank Keener, Esq., is Mr. Watson's law partner, and the judge told Peiffer to see Keener He did so and Keener. Peiffer swore, gave birn two pint bottles 'Moll to tbe neck " Jndge White was not present when be got the liquor and be did not feel that it bad any influence on bis vote. Nickle alsu seems to have figured promi nently in the vote of John Stoniger ol East Mahoning township, although John de clared on the stand that he had always been a straight Republican and controlled bis own vote. Be that as it may, Nickle, he alleged, went inside the booth with him and helped bim mark his ballot, and istou inger had a paper dollar in his pocket when he came out His brother Joe also fell beneath Sickle's everwatebfu! eye and received one of the paper dollars also The money, Joe said, was to pay for his day s wages, and not intenned as a bribe. Alex McCoy testified that while j .urney ing near his home, previous to tne electioa Judge White had given him a paper dollar, but did not ask bis support. He had been working for White before that time, and the money bad no influence on the way his ballot was cast. Mr. Ruffaer, one of Blair's attorneys, moved to further amend tneir bill of par ticulars. This was vigorously objected to by the other side. The court overruled tbe objections and tbe bill will be still turiber amended. The ballot box of the Second ward of Blairsville was opened in court and the names of some 2o voters were found to have been added to the check list, and no suffl.ient affidavits in their cases were sent to the prothonotary's office. This made tho number of alleged ballots in that dis triet appear much larger than mentioned in the contestant's bill ol particulars, aud 'he latter's attorney asked pertnsssion to ameud the bill. Council for Judge Waite otij cted. but the objections were over ruled, and the contestant allowed to a mend. Abont 40 allegal votes were shown that day by tbe contestants. During Tuesday's session several men admitted receiving money, whiskey at.d meals from White's friends. Several other witnesses were examined that day.and the ballot box of Raf tie Twp. opened. Several me* who voted in that Twp. were not on tbe check list, aud Blairs atty again asked leave to amend his bill of particulars. During Thursday's session one witness swore that Judge White t»ld him to go to cashier Watt ol the Deposit Bank for mon ey, and that he went there got i'. It was bis price for his vote, and he kept bis word and voted for White Several wit nesses testified to beiag offered money for their votes The ballot box of Cherry tap was opened and an examination of its con tents begun.

EIHTOB:—On the Bih dav of June. 1893, the Mil appropriating $12,500 to tne CouuoquenesHHig Valley Hospital became a law. (10 000 ot this is to be applied to the bmldiug of tne hoapital as provided Bat before this fand can be availed lor the purpose indicated, a like sum of SIO,OOO moat be raised by tbe people, and unless ibis ia accomplished before tbe In of Jnue of the present year the appropriation from tbe State falls. This benevolent enterprise cost quite an effort to achieve the success already attain ed. Correspondence was bad and a com mittee of citizens vnited the Slate Capital to press the subject on the favorable con sideratiou of the Legislature, with the fav orable result already intimated At the tiuie indicated the erection ol the Soldiers' Monuiuenl was iu process ot de velopment Soon after the Y.

The desire to avoid a collision witn either of tnese worthy enterprises has up to tnis tiiue prevented further action on tbe hospital question. The time, however, has couie when a forward uiovemenl m> si be tiaa. L yalty to tbe institution —to the best interests of this community—demand" prom ptjact ion in order to avail ourselves ol ibe fund offu ed Tne necessity for such an institution ia ap parent to all. Unlike some other worthy ohjecta a hospital in a community is a ne o- ssity. Bow often have we seen the *'an> of such an ins'iiution demonstrated. With railroads, glassworks, machine shops and many other means ol accident, many of tbem fatal ones, humanity ilselt appeals lo us tor action 1 tike this method of calling attentiou to this subject once mom. Those inter ested, tor the lime being, with the preHeu tation of this beuevolent institution must move Even our selfisti interests should be aroused in behalf ol a well appointed hospital here. How much money passes out of this couuty annually to hospitals located else* here. Certainly thousands of dollars. Most of this nrgiil be kept at home. Not only 80, but patients might be bronght from abroad to a first class bospi lal bere. We are proud of the skill and character ot many ot our own physicians, many of them are reaching eminence m their pro fession Had we tbe means of treating patients that a good hospital would sff.io pa'ieuta from abroad would certainly come to ou» town aud avail themselves of me benefits ot onr medical skill and tbe coin foits of a well appointed aitd comfortable, though temporary home, while under treatment. A s-art will soon lie made in this direction Let all gve it their friend ly consideration. aud when the time couies their active s\ mpalby aud material assir tance. The oil industry is now -in luck " The producers are a liberal class of citizens The railroad interests r« quire somelning iu this line. Let an appeal be made to all. We must win. XX.
