THERE is a reasonable prospect that the unchecked adulteration of ankles of food in this State are ended. The late Legislature enacted a salutary law, per haps not as complete as might be desired but it can be amended as its operation may show the necessity. A special from Harrisburg says that the Deputy Attor ney General has rendered an opinion that all articles of food subject to in spection must be distinctly marked so as to give notice to the purchaser that it is a mixture or a compound. The true character of the article to be sold must be revealed to avoid prosecution for violation of the pure food law. THE Supreme Court of this State, by a decision by Justice Green, May to last, in the case of Holden vs. Penn-ylvsm • railroad company, unanimou .1 v decide' that the abuse and insult of wit l :si *s y counsel, or the abuse of witnjs-es or litigants in arguments to the ju y, f- - nish egal ground for an exc.-p.i» l < n the record to be reviewed by the Court. In this case, also, the Court n>t only sustained the exception as based on good legal grounds, but reversed the judgment of the Court below distinctly on the grounds as therein stated. This decision is a good one, as the custom, heretofore, in many Courts, has been to allow the witnesses to be abused by coun sel in a way not beneficial to common decency. One would often think that that the witness was on trial instead of the prisoner or litigant. FROM many points of view one of the most remarkable celebrations in history is to take place next year, when the Kingdom of Hungary observe its millennium as a State. For 1,000 years the brave Magyars have maintained their national existence, and they have accom plished feats of which any nation might be proud. The millenial celebration is to last through the entire year, beginning on January I, 1896, and ending oily 01 the following December 3i. It vII •> ■ divided into three parts, eac'i _• >.l 11 j orating an epoch in the hi,' try ti t'.i country. The celebration will rt ■ 1 vu 1 a session of the Fa: li.. :i n? in the new hall at Budapest, wiiri i; about completed at a cost of 16,>>>,»» > florins. Next will come the op?iiin..j oi the Pantheon in the capital city, w 1 :ti nundreds of busts and statues of the na tional heroes and eminent men and wo men of the last thousand years will be placed in Hungary's Valhalla. Thi« will be followed by the inauguration of the new Museum of Art and History, built at a cost of 3,600,000 florins, the laying of the cornerstones of two new bridges to span the Danube at Budapest and the ded ication of three other great public build ings, the Palace of Justice, the Exhibi tion Hall and Museum of Artistic Hand work. Still further to indicate the begin ning of a new era, in the spring two sec tions of the older part of the city will be remodelled on hygienic principles, and 500 new public schools throughout the country will be opened.

The supreme coart yesterday heard the argument on the proceeding involving the c>t t.tutionality of that clause of the act creating the superior court which restricts t .e voters to »i* out of the seven judges tj be elected, and a decision will likely be readered before the close of the week. Mr. Stranahan, who appeared in support of tbe validity of the act, called attention to tbe fact that the pleading* did not ques tion the right of tbe legislature to estab lish this court and arrange its jurisdiction. Toe necessity of tbe court is thns virtual!.* concolad, and the validity of its establish ment is not called in question. The argu ment drawn from this was that if the legis lature had the right to create the court it surely had the power to direct tho method of its appointment or election of judges, unless prohibited by the Constitution. As to the contention that the limitation plac ed upon the voters was a denial of a con stitutional right, tbe answer was that the clauses cited applied to tho right to vote and not to the method of voting—that the legislature had the discretion to prescribe the method, and its discretion was not a subject of review, except in a case of plain and clear abuse of power. Mr. Olmstead, in support of the man damus, ci'.ed the clauses upon which he relied and the authorities which sustained nja view of the law. He also quoted from . it debates in the constitutional convei:- i, >u on minority representation as exprei - ve of the intention of the bocy in pro acting ;he right of voters. The Con.-ti u • i u. in providing for the limited vote f< r j • rfei- of the supreme court only, had re q i led all others to be elected without re e rioiion. The argument based ou legisla tive construction he held to be unsound. The legislature has not. in a single in stance, attempted to euforce limited vot ing under ihe present Constitution, and not a single authority can be ciled in sup port of ibe right of the legidaturo to limit the voting to six judges. Tne convention rejected minority representation except as to certain specified offices, and what it re jected the legislature cannot en.'orce. The simple question to be decided is, can tbe ligislatare modify the Constitution* The argument was heard by a very large audience, mostly members of the bar. Some remarks were made from the bench which were construced as favorable to the validity of the act, but such indica tions are apt to be misleading at times.

He extinguished the flitne s by wrapping a quilt around her, and after making her as comfortable as possible he left her in her room. He had scarcely left her when she jumped from the bed. tore off the bandages that covered her burns, dashed a pitcher of cold water upon her self and soon died in intense agoLy. In her room was found a large piece of half burned paper. It is supposed that with this she set fire to her calico wrapper, be fore her screams aroused Mr. Grove. She had been a great sufferer from an attack oi the grip. A frightful street car accident occurred ast Sunday evening, on the Carnegie branch of the West End Traction Cern p.iny in Pittsburg resulting in the almost instant dnath of three persons and (he in jury ol 12 others, some of whom will prob ably die.

With nothing to hold it in check, the heavy car with its load of living freight,, jumped forward, covering a quarter of a mile with fearlul rapidity and then striking a sharp curve it left the track and plunged down into a gulley, turning completely over as it did so, and striking the rocks below with such force that it was splintered and crushed out of all shape.

Foreigner* Place Tlielr Pauper Made Goods In the Market to the Detriment of the American Laborer, and at a Kate That wax Impossible I'nder the I'rovUlou* of the McKinley Law. Secretary Carlisle has had prepared for himself a tabulated statement of the re ceipts of the government for twelvemonths each under the old law and under the pres ent law. The month of August marked the end of the first year of the new tariff, and comparisons are now possible. The tables are given Mow. It will be seen that the revenues from customs under the new law exceed those under the McKinley law by over $35,000,000, and thM Shere is not a month when the customs «oder the now law did not exceed those for the corre sponding month under the old law. That means, of course, that the foreign manu facturers. recognizing the advantages of fered to them by the new tariff, have been dumping their pauper made goods on the American market to the detriment of the American laborer at a rate that was im possible under the provisioas of the Mc- Kinley law. The comparison betweon the receipts from internal revenue tells a different story, for the revenues under the new law fall nearly $50,000,000 below those under the McKinley law. Not a single month under the new law did the receipts from internal revenue approach the receipts for the corresponding month under the old law. This great decrease of revenue is as cril>ed at the bureau of internal revenue to dropping off of the whisky revenues. It will be remembered that whilo the tariff bill was before the senate Senator Voorhees, chairman of the finance committee, was the principal advocate of an increase of twenty cents per gallon on whisky, and it was his constant argument that every cent the tax on whisky was increased would bring an annual increase of a million dol lars. The results have not borne out Mr. Voorhees' roseate prediction. The reve nues from internal revenue taxes, instead of being increased by 120,000,000. are short nearly $60,000,000, so that Mr. Voorhees is about 1~0.000.000 wrong on his forecast. No explanation is given at the Internal reve nue bureau for the remarkable falling off of the whisky revenues, It was known that vast quantities of whisky had been taken out of bond just before the new law went into effect, which accounts for the enormous revenues received during the last two months under the McKinley law; but it was the confident expectation of the Internal revenue officers that after the first six months the results of the increased whisky tax would begin to show. The failure of the revenues to increase led at first to the suspicion that the increased tax had resulted in an increase of illicit distilling, but the reports from the dis tricts where "moonshining" is the princi pal industry failed to verify this theory.

The woolen manufacturer has not yot beeu sorlously disturbed, except indirectly, as the foreign worsteds displace the woolen goods, but lc is credibly reported that the coming sea son will find the foreign maker offering wool goods in this market, and whilo his prospects of success are not as good as on worsteds it may lie set down as a certainty that he will know beforehand pretty close to what he can do. The foreign maker is here today, through his representatives, making preparations to gather in a share of the woolen goods business. The domes tic manufacturer who closes his eyes to these conditions and rests confidently upon his own strength may have cause to repent ills blindness and overcoufldence.— Textile Manufacture™' Journal.

LONDON, Oct. 14.—1t is reported here via Paris that the Count of Turin, nephew of the king of Italy, is soon coming to Eng land and that he will marry one of the daughters of the Prince of Wales. The prince waa born Lu 1870. OVER confidence is bad in any walk of life, but it is especially fatal in politics Take nothing for granted in Pennsylvania this year. TTIE strongest reason against Whitney as the presidential candidate next year is the fact that ho is the man res|K»usible for Cleveland's nomination In 18W8. IT IS gratifying to know that Chairman Quay appreciates the work done for the party by the rural press. There is no doubt that It is one of the important factors in evury ciuupulta. TIIKIEB IS considerable good natural rivalry regarding the banner Republican county in the state Philadelphia, Lan caster and Allegheny counties hope to equal if they do not exceed their former records. INDIVIDUAL work counts for much in politics, and it will mean a great deal in Pennsylvania this year. Let every man make It a point to urge his neighbors to oome to the polls and tho total result will be astonishing. I A Tariff an Brap. Spoaklug In IM2 in the house In favor of an duty on hemp to keep out foreign hemp and encourage our Kentucky farmers. James Buchanan said that the increased import duty on hemp demon strated that "an additional duty was abso lutely necessary to check Its further pro gress, unless you wish to give the growers of the article in Russia an exclusive mo nopoly of our market in preference to our own farmers. The additional duty Is mod erate: It is no more than a protective duty In favor of our own agriculture." There was not a word said about placing duty on agricultural products for revenue nor for " rovenuo only." Quite the reverse. The; Are Not In It. The Wilson free trade tariff bill proving, contrary to Democratic expectations, m dead failure as a revenue getter, the Democracy are now looking about for some American industry to tax for revenue. They are talking an increased tax of tl on beer. The McKinley bill lowered the tax on tobacco from 8 to 6 cents per pound. The burgullians want to restore the tax to 8 cents. But unfortunately for the free traders the Republicans have a major ity in the lower house of congress, who are in favcr of levying a tax for revenue, not on Americans, but upon foreign manu facturers. See?— Portsmouth (O.) Blade. THIS will be a short political campaign. The two parties have just nominated their candidates and the election is less than a month off. Protests have frequently been made against long campaigns. Here, then, Is an opportunity to try one of the shorter sort. There is no doubt that the time is sufficiently long for the doing of all the necessary work. And that is all that is requisite. THE treasury officials are devoutly pray ing that the price of sugar may advance so that they may collect more money upon | its importation on the ad valorem basis. An increase of a fraction of a cent would mean millions to the government. Under a Republican tariff sugar was free, and that portion of the workingman's break i fast table was untaxed. And the Repub | llcan tariff raised money enough to run ! the government. WK observe with satisfaction that the protectionist journals of the entire country combine to defend the national policy of encouragement to home industries with ability and success. Their arguments are up to date, and deal with new phases of the question. The welfare of the whole country, and especially of the wage earn ers, Is an Inspiring theme and merits the ability with which the subject is discussed in connection with the tariff. THE gold beaters of Chicago, New York and Philadelphia are unable to see where the Democratic tariff has helped them. W hen it went into effect they were getting sl3 a week or $0.50 a beating of 500 leaves on piece work. Since then wages have de clined to $7.50 a week and $3.5<) a beating. Now they are on strike for $lO a week and $5 a beating, and will think themselves lucky if they win. These gold b aters are not the only artisans beaten by tho Demo cratic tariff. THE wool growers of Montana propose to go to congress next winter and demand a protective tariff on woof. As the house will lie Republican they will be heard, and if tho Republican party controlled the White House they would get what they wanted. But It is strange that these Montana wool growers don't know their own Interests. The Democratic statesmen have been telling them that free wool was the bant thing in the world for them, and yet they can't see it. If they are not care ful the Democratic sheets will bo calling them political wool growers. THE campaign of local candidates for tho county offices this year Is very much as other years. The Democrats have adopt ed a new scheme, however, and it is one that they have been very cleverly cultl vatlng in every district of tho county. It is to admit the overwhelming Republican majority, and that they havo no show of electing anyone on the ticket. Therefore, upon personal grounds—as the case may be—they ask this Republican or that Re publican simply for a complimentary vote. If Republicans yield to this mode of cut ting candidates on their own ticket, they may greatly endanger its success, and that is all there is in it for the Democratic ticket. If it results in the election of any one of the Democratic candidates they will only laugh in their slaves at you for being so foolish as to ca«t your vote as a compli ment. No good Republican will be caught by this scheme. Vote tho straight ticket and there will be no chance for exultation at your expense.

Counterfeiting by CLEVELAND, Oct. 14.— Joseph Droyor was brought here last night hy a deputy I'nlted States marsnal from Stark county and charged with counterfeiting.
