CULBERHSON did Texas a great service wheu he secured the passage by the State Legislature of the anti-prize fighting law, and signed it. The fight may yet be "pulled off,'' as the pugs call it. A Mexican town makes a bid for it,in connection with a bull fight. THE opinion has been promulgated by M. E. Olmstead, of Harrisbuig, one of the ablest lawyers in Pennsylvania, that each elector has the constitutional right to vote for seven Superior Court Ji>dge->. The constitution presumes that in all cases not otherwise provided for in that instrument! the Supreme Couit being tli. exception) the majority shall decide,and a law that directs otherwise will not hold. PITTSBURG is making a bid for the Re publican National Convention and al ready has a purse of $40,000 suliscribed for that purpose. That city has the re rjuisite amount of push to bring it to the front, and nothing is too big for it to at tempt, and also nothing too good for it. UNDER the law passed this year, own ers of property, who award contracts for the erection of buildings, can protect themselves from liens of sub-contractors, for material and labor, by filing in the Prothonotary's office the stipulation or agreement between the property owner and the contractor, that no such leins shall be filed. If, therefore, any contrac tor receives money for the erection of a building,but fails to'pay the sub-contrac tors under him, or for any material or dered, these parties must look to the con tractor-in-chief, and not to the part} owning the building. STATE TREASURER JACKSON lias paid 1,800 of the 2,400 school districts in the Commonwealth their share of the schoo' appropriation of $5.500,000 for t'li. y- a The small districts are being paid first, on account of the difficulty of many t< collect the taxes. Several have not yet been able to collect enough taxes to pay the school teachers for the last school term. Philadelphia has received <300,000 of its share of the appropriation. Pitt burg, Allegheny and other large districts will not be paid for some time. Th" payments for this year aggregate al>oui $3,000,000, and are being paid at the rate of $200,000 a week. Au, advancement in science and mor als comes from the impulse which seaks individual superiority. The real bene factors are few, and it is the spirit which strives after excellence that has made all the advancement in all the ages. This is true in morals as well as in physics. Fierce competition and the survival of the fitest he* produced all excellence in literature, art and religion. He who would make it impossible for men to do wrong is an enemy of his kind. Let the motive for doing right be love of right, and let the opportunities for doing evil be what they may. Men should try to excel each other in virtue and wisdom in the face of all temptation. That is the way it works thronghout all nature, and that is the Almighty's plan of develop ment. The Socialists are wrong. They would decrease the sum of human miser*, for a few generations at the expense <• the permanent weakening and final dv.-g redation of the human race. THKEE years ago Professor J. J. Mc- Cook, a writer on social questions, esti mated, after a careful study of statistics, that there were 45,545 tramps in the United States and that their direct annu al cost to the country was $9,000,000. He now states that in January, 1895, the number of tramps had increased to 85,- 768, and their annual cost to the country to $17,000,000, not counting the loss sus tained by their failure to produce any thing. THK. question as to how many candi dates for judges of the new Superior Court each qualified elector is entitled to vote for will be passed upon by the Su preme Court before the Noveml>er elec tions. Proceedings will be instituted at once, and every effort made to speed the cause and secure a decision by the Court before the 22<1 inst., the date fixed by law for the Secretary of the Common wealth to send out the official ballot. The attorneys interested say the proceeding can not effect the political character tthe bench as the time for filing nmnin. ion papers has passed and no ji ; } 11 named more than six candidates. THE general elections are now less than a month off. Those contests which are attracting most attention are confined to New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Ohio, Kentucky and lowa. National issues arc not cutting much of a figure, except in an indirect way. Every politician natur ally takes note of the fact that in the year preceding the national campaign his party should strive to make a creditable showing, but the demoralization of the Democracy has been so complete as a re sult of the fearful rebukes and punish ments administered during the elections of 1893 and '94, that even the most san guine of their leaders will be satisfied if the results of this year prove no more dis astrous than those of the two preceding years.—Gazette.

Butler in Pittsbarg Times) A man bM little use for his ancestors, except to boas: of them, ft hen we want to prove how nohle we are it is not tne fashion to point to acts of oar own hat to the thing* done by our sires. The good the old fellows did.lives iu our minds. The frailties are bnned with them and con veniently forgotten. Except for the pur p<ise of supplying a proud line of descent the ancestors are forgot'en at t'-ie same time. Butler is a qaetr town, presenting one seeming paradox It a bustling place, but in the middle of it is a guaran ire mat no man sheds tews over the graves of his great-grand-parenta. In the heart of Batler is aa abandoned burial plot. ... , It is one of those negiee'ed cities of tne de.d that you think about whei you hear iLfc phra-« "God's aorn '* TFe well-kept cemetery is still man's domain. GoJ's acre is that one which has been abandon ed until none but the infinite All Father has room to make a place tor it in His watchfnlness. So God's acre comes to be the one that mau hus turned aw ay from, and the kindly toncb of nature in its wild wav, takes hold, Foliage springs up to bide crumbling and broken gravestones. The myrtle that once was tended by lov ing hands and trained to run in proper lines is encouraged by the broader cultiya of natural forces to find root where it can. and spread to every conceivable point W>eds grow. The weed is always cbar.- table. if it cannot hold a place iu fash ionable lawns and gardens it offers it.- services in out of the way places where i's aristocratic kin are insufficient or too M'.w. Wild flowers over the graves ol the pauper and of the patrician, when the tw.> have been dead so long that they may be overlooked with propriety by their kindred. . , , • 15nt the abandoned burial place in But ler is not man's acrfjnor is it wholly God s It belongs, aside from a lew magnificent o.k trees and a carpet of grass that struggles to befriend the memory ol the dead, to the boys and girls who attend tbe nthools clofce by. (Quaint headstones ,«rve 'the boys as a block for leapfrog. Well-worn paths are beaten across the lot u different directions. The quiet tha' vnuld seem consisten* the place l? r ken by the laughter of children anu the tread of an endless stream of people who take a near en' bv the paths. Grass fears no man. It grows, there, fore, in the derserted Butler cemetery The reeds and tangles of myrtlo that are common to deserted burial grounds are absent here. Too many feet are an aboin inalion to the growth of anything. The place is a common, with a colection of old neadstones. and through the head.-tone with a smattering of the earls' history ot Butler. The epitaphs tell of men who died years before the of us *e.e born. Yes when we pre dead we are soon for gatten. Who knows the r.ame of his grandmother's grandfather? Who knows JFbere his ancestors of four generations ago lie bariedf Except that he himself is evidence of the fact, who kuoA's tha'. be bad anv ancestors so long ago as the life of the "soldier of 177ti!" And what mat ters ltf This is a world cf tne living, not of the detd yet I conld not help but think tha* if Butler would encloso the acre wherein repose the forgotten dead nature would cover the profound graves and the dis- tombstones with weeds and foliage to temp ir the .Mjifllts of time that she would not allow man's forget fuluess to stand out so garishly as it does now, with the naked find broken stones. Tim e effaces as fast as possible, but in a luiet manner. She does nothing in harsh —«* or effrontery. Sooner or latter the utle» burial plot will lo<o all trace* of he dead who lie there. The wholo world 4 graveyard. Lite is built on death, t,d if we devote our time to sorrowing tor the countless mjriads who have gone since Adonis's days we would have to titay up nights to wipe our eyes. Yet that does not ami oth out the lack of veneration and sentiment that turns the graves of one's ancestois over to i,be children. The old Butter burial place is une of the most interesting bits of hi»torj in tbejeounty. If is worthy a more sacred fate. Dick School, Franklin Twp, No. 2.

She was a young lady of more than ordinary ability,unswerviving.'integrity and a laudably ambitions Christian character; such a one as though laid to rest still lives fresh and green in the memories and affections ot thc«se with whom she came in contact in her daily lite; which life ex ample and inlluenco still lives here, aud is destined to be rewarded and rbine bright er and brighter through eternity. Of such the poet said: "There are no dead, the stars go down, to rise upon some fairier shore and bright in Heavens Jewled crown, they »hine forever. "And ever near us though nnseon, the dear immortal spirits tread. "For all the boundless universe is life, there are no dead. R. C. General and ex-Senator William Mahone of Virginia died at his home in Wasling ton D. C. Tuesday The country will long remember Gen eral William Mahone as one of the most, picturesque figures and characters in pub licjife during tho last 30 years. Excep tionally slight in stature and frame, he has been a marked man in great assemblage* A peculiar style of dress, and especially his hat, attracted atteniion to him. This broad-brimmed felt bead near seemed out of proportion to the tiny form beneath if But beneath its shade sparkled a pair ol the keenest eyes ever possessed by man. During Garfield's administration the 'readjusted controversy in Virginia bade fair to be the entering wedge for a split in the solid soflth. Tne Rea.ljusters were a Democratic faction taking name from their desire to 'readjust' the State debt on a basis that m.tant partial repudiation. "In 1879 by a fusi"n with the Republi cans, the Readjusters controlled the State and elected their leader, William Mahon9, | to the ITnited St»te9 Senate. "Tho MCTO voto helped Mahone. He had always lavored fair treatment for the black man. In his country the blacks bad voted freely and their votes bad been counted as cast. Good provision for Col ored schools had also been made there In spite of Democratic pleadings and denunciations, Mahoue ooncluded to support tho Republican*. Thin tied the Senate, even if Davis voted with the Dem ocrats, and Vice President Arthur could, of course, be counted on to turn the vote the Republican way. "ilahonu's course aroused tfreat wrath, especially among the Southern Senators. " 'Who is that man?' cried Senator Hill, of Georgia, amid laughter from the Republican side of the chamber. 'Who is that man so ambitious to do what no man in the history of the country has ever yet done —stand up in this high ptesence and proclaim Irom this pmudeni hence that be disgraces tho commission he hcddsT Such a man is not worthy to be a Republican*' "In rejoinder Mahonc, while declaring himself a Democrat in principle, denied that ba wai indebted to the Democratic party for hj» jtlace in the Sjepate. concluded " 'I want that gentlemen to know henceforth and forever that hore is a man who dares stand and defend his rights sgainst you and your caucus.

The meeting of the Republican stat-p committee gave ample evidence of the fact that, however Pennsylvania Republican* may differ among themselves upon ques tions of party management, they are thor oughly united and harmonious in present lng an unbroken front to the common en emy. The large attendance and the en couraging reports a 8 to the outlook in all the counties made it clear that the at- \ tempt of the Democratic organs to make capital out of a returning prosperity, which ; is due alone to the public confidence in Re publican sua-ess. will not avail the opposi tion party in this state. Pennsylvania Republicans owe it to themselves and to their fallows through- : out the nation to show that they are a* firm as ever in their devotion to the prin- ' ciples of adequate protection to all Ameri- ; can industries, sound finance and honest elections, the temporary ignoring of which in the last presidential election brought great ruin and suffering upon our people, j and it is extremely gratifying that the : gathering of the state committee on Wed nesday showed so clearly that they would : meet all just expectations.

"I'pon what issues," said Mr. Josiah Quincy the other day in his convention ad dress, "can the Republican party ask the country to restore it to power next year?"

American Goods Got There. Messrs. Landers, Frary & Clark have supplied all the cutlery that is used on the new American liner St. Louis. Patriotic Americans will rejoice in this act, because it showi that the International Xaviga tlon company believes in patronizing American industries. Transatlantic trav elers who have been in the habit of using cutlery supplied by Kngllsh manufactur ers will, we are quite sure, find that there is no deterioration in the quality of the American cutlery that is used on the American steamship St. Louis, and which will also subsequently b« used on her sis ter ship, the St. Paul. A Job for Mr. Cleveland. The man who enters the White Rouse on March 4, I£W7, should appoint Grover Cleveland as fish commissioner. He has been fitting himself all summer for the position, which is still vacant.—Now York Mail and Express. Time to Catch Cp with the Tlmca. It is time for the Democratic party to ad mlt otherwise than in mere phrases that the Union is restored. —Pittsburg-Index Appeal (Dem.). HARRY WRIGHT DEAD.
