FfcirvifcW Borough. William J. Mjdalegex twp NBWTOK BLACK, OFBQTIH S. F. Bowskb, Of Butler. Silver Monometaliam. In his argument lor sound money, made in the Rei asentatives' hall at Harrisburg lately, Mr. Charles Emory Smith reudered a substantial service to the country. is speech was a forcible statement of the e pnblican position as repeatedly set forth by National Conventions of the party, and it was at the same time an eloquent and convincing demonstration of the soundness of that position. Probably one of its im mediate good effects will be the aban donment of the attempt to secure from our Legislature an indorsement of Senator Cameron's unsound views concerning free coinage; and if is circulated as widtly as it should be, it must do much to counteract in all parts of the country the specious ar guments of the Bilver producers and their advocates, who are in fact intent on reduc ing our currenoy to the cheap silver basis. Mr. Smith devoted considerable space to the proof of the proposition that free coinage means in fact the silver standard, —not bimetallism with a parity of value between gold and silver, but silyer mono metallism No man of average sense can expect gold to circulate under a law pro- Tiding tor the unlimited free coinage of fifty-cent silver dollars. In that event the more valuable coin will be locked up or exported. The common, selfish instinct of all men and the laws of trade attested by universal experience would render this result as certain as the operation ot the law of gravitation. All Americans who remember the last war know that when the Government was unable to redeem its paper promise to pay a dollar, gold in stantly went to a premium and disappear ed from circulation. The "fiat' of tbe Government, with the pledged faith of the Nation behind it, was then unable to to make even our own loyal citizens be lieve that a paper promise not presently redeemable was as good as a gold dollar. But the free-coinage advooates have now started out to make us all believe that the mere "fiat" of tbe Government, backed by no pledge at all, will make fifty cents in silver worth a gold dollar in the open mar ket! The task is manifestly impossible, and. as Mr. Smith says, when that day comes the country must drop to the silver standard. It is of the highest importance, then* for men who propose to help along that time to determine what the silver standard means. What will be the practical effect of placing the country on a silver basisT Mr. Smith very plainly points out some of the effects of such a plunge to the silver level. He calls attention to the fact tnat the deposits in the savings banks of the country amount to more than 1,747 million dollars, belonging to nearly five million depositors. Ttis industrial army of de positors have thus placed in these banks an average of $365 each, every dollar so deposited being worth 100 cents in gold. But after we drop to the silver standard each depositor will be able to draw ont of the bank but $363 in silver, each worth bat 50 cents. In other words, the frugal toilers of the country are to have their savings scaled down one-half by a law that will benefit nobody but the producers of silver bullion and the speculators. This Sttte has 248,244 such depositors with ag gregate deposits of $66,023,821, so that the Pennsylvania workmen's direct contribu tion to tbe cause of free silver coinage would amount to some 33 million dollars, to say nothing of the shrinkage of tbe as sets of the 1,239 building and loan associ ations in the State. Contemplate another object lesson: The aggregate disbursements for pensions last year were, in.round numbers, $140,772,000, or an average of $144 to every pensioner The namher of pensioners in this State was 103,523. The payments now made to ( these Union veterans or their widows and orphan ohildren are practically gold dollars worth 100 cents each. When we roach the silver producers' paradise, the payments will necessarily be made on a silver basis in dollars worth 50 cents each, so that each pensioner will receive 72 real dollar* . instead of 144. This will be the veteran's , contribution to the glorious cause of clip ped coinage, and all for the SAke of the j silver producers, the bullion speculators j , and th» eheap demagogues. I, These are a few of the object lessons to t which ilr. Smith calls attention as ill us- ( trations of the effeots of the unlim ted coinage ol cheap silver dollars. He adds others that are quite as impressive; but there is another picture that must interest all the toilers in the land. Every man who works for wages is paid to-day the best , money the world knows a currency every dollar of which is literally as good as gold, and which will buy more of the necessaries and comforts of life than ever before *n the history of the world. Does this dollar of the workman buy too muchf The silver men and their advocates think it does, and they propose 'berefore to pay the workers of this country a currency worth about half as much as that they now receive. And to bring this about they have the impudence to appeal to the work ing mm himself to he'p aloug by his own vote the scheme to out down the pay for bis own labor to the tuue of 50 per cunt i;i the hope tnat somehow in the coining era of dear commodities and chesp money he may be able to get it raised again! Tlie workers of the country are in fact the great creditor class of the country, and to tbem it is of the first importance that wages shall l»e paid in a currency that is most staliie and that possesses the highest possible purchasing power. They are the very ones who can least afford to tamper with the currency. It is to them that cheap money—which simply means dear commodities—must prove most damaging, and if they can be bamboozled into the support of Hl lver monometallism the fact will be most astonishing.— Agitator.

A Grave Charge. The Philadelphia Time» draws a dark picture of the administration of justice in the courts of that city. It charges that they" are rapidly approaching a condi tion that must make property entirely voiceless and helpless when its interests are involved in the courts. This accusa tion ban no dou K t been inspired by the experience wnich Col. McClure, the vet eran editor, recently had in a libel unit, from which his counsel withdrew in dis gust and which terminated in the jury finding a very heavy verdict against him. He does not blame the judges, but asserts that the abuse? have grown up gradually until they have become appalling "by grotesquely excessive verdicts against property." "A deliberate conspiracy within the very temple of justice to pollute its sanc tuary and make prey upon property in con tempt of justice," is the grave charge which Col. McClure has These conspirators have power to "inspire suits without merit, to conduct them by testi mony furnished by procurers, and to con t r o) the jurors who are to give verdicts, until it has become even mightier than jastice itself because of the tolerance that has been given to it." Some of the ele merits ot this combination against justice are thus described: "The conspiracy em braces petty court officials, lawyers with all the arts of the shyster added to mingled ability and arrogance, political leaders who have to look carefully to the safety of their criminal henchmen, and procurers of testimony who have become practically professional in their criminal art, and these combined have been plying their vocation until property has largely ceased to have either respect or protection in the administration of justice in Philadelphia. This is a terrible arraignment ot the judicial system as conducted in the cbiet city ol the commonwealth, and if the in dictment can be sustained in its material averments there is need for sweeping and radical reform. The jnry system is held to be largely responsible, the result of political and official favoritism in the se lection of jurors, who sympathize with ihe conspiracy to prey upon propertj. The abuse of respectable witnesses has jecome so common that no one who val'ies his reputation cares to take the stand. It is charged that no leading criminal can be convicted of any political offense, owing to the control which is exercised ov?r the machinery of justice. Wuen astoanding verdicts are rendered the money does not inure to the benefit of the plaintiff. The suits are instituted chiefly for the benefit of the counsel and thoßd associated with them in furnishing testimony, jury fixing and like services. If a tithe of what ia here charged be true then, in the language of the late Mr. Tildon "reform in necessary " The public will be loth to believe that the eoarU are so permeated with corruption and maladn.in istratiou. Nearly the entire press of that city has been advocating the pensioning ol judges in recognition of their fidelity and integrity, but this sweeping accusation represents them as fit only for the pillory. —Commercial Gazette. The Judges' Pension Bill. The bill to pension judges after they hare reached a certain age has passed the House and is expected to pass the Senate. The Commercial Gazette has opposed this measure, not alo-.o on constitutional grounds, but as settiug a very bad prece dent and one which is certain to be follow ed, should tie bill become a law. That the people aro not deman liug this innova tion is apparent to all. An attempt was made to engrail a similar provisiou in the present Coustinntiou, but it was voted down iu the convention by a decided ma jority. The people are no more favorable to a pension system to-day than they were twenty years ago, and it lias been alleged that the present bill is being urged by pol iticians who have no higher motive than the retirement of a few judges who are not pliable enough to suit their purposes. They want younger men of their own se lection. I Whether there is any truth in this charge is not very material. The principle upon which the law is based is wholly vicious and foreign to oar political policy. It is altogether unnecessary, too. since it is pre posterous to aßsert that most of the char acter and habits of the Pennsylvania judiciary, who have served for twenty years or more upon the bench at salaries ranging trom $5,000 to SB,OOO are likely to become objects of charity. But even if they should be unfortunate, it would not justify the establishing of a class system by which men are to be paid out of the public treasury for periods during which they render no service. A reference to the debates in the last constitutional convention should have served to enlighten the legislature on this subject. Some very able and patriotic members were heard in opposition to the pension system. It was on motion of the Hon. Lin Bartholomew that the provision was stricken from the report of the Com mittee on Judiciary. He characterized it as 'the introduction of a principle of com pensation for officials of this government thai was an exceedingly dangerous one." He knew no icason why the services of a judge should have a higher or more enlarg ed conr-ideration thau ihose of any other officer who faithfully di.-charged his duties and predicted that if the principle was once incorporated in the practical opera tion of the government it would not cease with the judges. If adopted at all the principle should be applicable to all offi cials alike. Ex-Governor Curtiu was one of tbe most outspoken opponents of the pension sys tem. He saiJ: "It is contrary to all our settled policy, to our history and to our tradition* to pension any man except one who has been in the military service in de fense of the country." He favored liberal compensation to the judges, but was oppos ed to the pensioning of officers in the civil service. Mr. Darlington, who had been a mem ber of the constitutional convention of 1847-8, said: "A civil pension system is against the g»Miu* of our inlituiions U has never been cou»ilerod by tbe people of I'oiiusy lva'iit as at all admissible, tor the reason in part that no man is bound to accept ofliue, and therefore there is no propriety iu adding, afur a man ceases to perforin the sen ice, inj tiling by way ot remuneration for that which he is not able t.o perform. 1 oppose a pension a", to every officer in ine government save only tho man who has periled his life upon the battlefield. This is sound doctrine, and if the bill pas-es the Senate it should bo vetoed by the Governor. It is wr.mg in principle, an innovation that will lead to a civil pen sion list, and is against the letter and spir it of the Constitution —Com. Gazette. Where the Real Trouble Lies. Among the bills pending at ITarrisburg is one to amend tbe Constitution and abol ish tbe February elections The bill pur poses to transfer tbe election of municipal officers to tbe general election in Novem ber, and is urged on the plea that so many •lections tend to disturb business sud the conduct of public sff'iirs. ,'iThi re is not much in this plea. The r >al puipose is to check the tendency ol the voters in cities to disregard party lines at the February elections, a tendency tha' 1 should bo encouraged instead of killed i At the November elections local issues are ! slwajs over-shadowed by great party prii - | cities tuti tlie »hrewd political waua^ws want the benefit of partisan sentiment at such times to cover the defects of their candidates. When the managing politicians took the principle out of the Australian ballot by amending the law, first for group markings and later by the "straight ticket ring at the top of the column, they were probably looking forward to this amendment to the Constitution. Of course, in putting the ring on the ballot they had the immediaie object of making fraudulent marking ea.-y. But by getting the election of municipal officers at the same time that State and national offices are filled they will have the double advantage of "straight" party votes and the ticket that cau be most easi ly manipulated. The country may be suffering somewhat from the frequency of elections, but it is suffering more from the chicanery of the politicians.—Pittshurg Dispatch. Harrisburg Notes. On Thursday the Compulsory Education bill passed third reading in the Senate and in the House the bill to repeal the Oleo law was defeated.. Other bills which passed second reading that day were as follows: To punish false representa tions to assessors and collectors of taxes; providing for the examination ot miners in the bituminous regions and prevent the employment of incompetent persons; to empower cities aud boroughs to appoint inspectors of food, cattle aud slaughter houses; making 60 pounds a bushel of clov er seed. On Friday, in the House, four, teen special orders were granted, includ ing one secured by Mr. Douthett for his school book bill. Secretary Edge, of the Department of Agriculture, has formed an efficient corps of crop and live stock reporters and the old list has been remodeled and increased. Eacb member of the Legislature has been asked to furnish the department with the names and post office addresses of two practical and wide awake farmers to whom tbe regular crop blanks can be sent and by whom they can be filled up in a practical and satisfactory manner. He has also obtained the address of at least one practical dairyman and one stock feed er and breeder in eacb county, and as soon as the Department has been fully organiz ed, will by the systematic use of blank 6 aud the tabulated reports, obtain a large mass of practical information lrom ail por tions ot tbe State. In the earlier hbtoi} of the Board this plan was adopted and was only abandoned on account of the increased duties placed upon the secretary by the Legislature and it will, now that the Department is furnished with ample clerical force, be revived and extended in connection with similar reports by the National Department at Washington. Monday night tlie following bills passed the House finally: To require j.idges in counties haviug 35,000 inhabitant' and over in appointiog prison commissioners to recognize both political parties; to quiet state clai ns of the commonwealth against counties, cities and boroughs aud officers and ex officers thereof, withiu whoso term of office the claim may have accrued where no fraud appears; for protection of nesis and eggs of gauie birds; for protection of speckled trout; defining lawful seals on deed* and other inj-trummts of writing. A story was circulated about the capitol that the real purpose of Senator (Quay's visit was to try to get an expression from the legislature on the currency question. Oue of the best informed Republic in politi cians in the state said Senator Cameron has won his col.eague over for a free coin age of silver and that Quay will endeavor to get a resolution through the legislature indorsing Cameron's views and speeches on the question. The same person said Quay was not playing the free silver game as strong as Cameron, but it would tend to be a question of time when he would come out openly for free coinage of silver. Judging from the frigid reception of Charles ileber Clark of Philadelphia when in ilarrisburg, two weeks aeo, to advocate Cameron's theory, it is thought the Wo senators will not have an oa*y task be fore them to get through a free silver lution. On Tuesday Douthelt's bill to establish a school book board and provide for the sale of text books to school boards at the lowest prices passed second reading by a large majority. Oa Wednesday the three Greater Pilt-t --bnrg bills passed by a vote of 144 to 42. The amendments will probably be con curred in by the Senate, next Tuesday; and then the bills will be ready for the Governor. The first bill gives the city the right to vote in the boroughs; the soc ond bill gives Allegheny a chance to vote herself in; and the third bill relates to the determination of the indebtedness of the boroughs voted in. The voting is to take place ia Nov. 96. Jaeksvillc Item*. Rev. John M. Edwards of Ulenora made a flying visit among friends here. Miss L/zzio Alwortb of Eldorado is Tint ing her sister Mrs. \V E.

There is no article which enters into ladies' or gentlemens' dress that should be selected with so great care as a shoe. No other part of one's dress is noticed so quickly, and so universally admired or condemned, as the case may be. A shoe to be thoroughly satisfactory must, first of all, fit well, and secondly, must wear well and keep its shape; these points are the most prominent ones in Ruff's Fine Shoes. RufiPs shoes are made by firms whose lasts and patterns are as near perfect as skill and ex perience can make them, and all the materials used are selected with such great care and the workmanship inspected so closely that the wear of Ruff's shoes is assured. Ladies and gentleman, it will be to our mutual advantage if you will favor us to the extent of inspecting our goods. Shoe Dealer. AL RDFF. s.
