Gov. 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.

No Use For Ancestors.
(Bion H. 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

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.

OBITUABY NOTES.
MISS Carrie McGnirk of Anandale Pa.
was laid to rest on last Sabbath; the victim
of a severe attack of typhi id fever.
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

tionally slight in stature and frame, he has
been a marked man in great assemblage*

his hat, attracted atteniion to him. This

'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

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. Pittsburg i

"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?"
If Josiah really wants an answer, we
should say offhand that one uncommonly
good issue is that the country has had
enough of Democratic administration, and
any change must be an improvement.—The

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.
