THE CITIZEN tat«r*4 »t Pntttn it ImtUr »• ad tl*s»»»tt»r (ILUII C. IUUI. r«»IWk" THURSDAY. NOVEMBER". HWS - life is like a drop of water falling into the infinite ocean of lime, There is a tiny splash for an instant, and all is over. In this brief moment, huv.- ever. he has time to glance about "aim and see the wide expanse of infinity ou either side, and his imagination magnifies his existence a million diameters, and his little life looks long, IT is an unfortunate truth that the majority of men have no opinions of their own—no real convictions. They are as clay in the hands of the potter for men of real force of will. They be lieve one thing to-day and another to morrow, and the next day conclude that their conclusions of yesterday were about right. Society is servile from lack of will, and therefore the world needs apostles and religions. A man may be good and wise, but possessing no will, his goodness dies in wishes, and his accomplishments are little. John Sh«rnam's Book. John Sherman writes a booklet. And a thousand people rise To slug him in the necklet. And to smash him in the eyes. John Sherman writes a booklet. And a thousand people say- He dosen't know a truthlet when ne meets it on ttie way.

PUSS DAY, the 213 th anniversary of the landing of William Penn, was celebrated in the public schools of Phil adelphia, last week. A recent summary of trade prospects in the New York Tribune presents a pe culiar feature relating to farming oper ations on Long Island. In the article re ferred to it is stated that under the oper ations of a law prohibiting the killing of wild deer for a term of years, those ani mals have become so plenty that the formers in Suffolk county are suffering from their depredations on their crops and have to turn out at niglit and drive the depredating herds of deer away; and that they anticipate having to keep hounds chained about their fields to •care away the four-footed marauder*. THE vote of Pennsylvania since 1890 showed the following majorities; IS9O, Democratic, j6,554! 1891. Republican. 58,15 a: 1892, Republican, 63,747: 15 93.

It is causing a good deal of discussion, and through grave doubts of its efficacy are expressed, yet there can be no doubt of the earnest hope that the profession and the general public feel that the cure may prove all that its diacoverers claim for it. SENATOR CAMEHON has his weather eye on a third term in the U. *S. Sen ate. He is no more use to Pennsyluania in the senate than would be a wooden man; beside* his populist principles are not in accord with the teaching of the Republican party. We have lots of good men in the party who would make use ful and creditable representatives in the Uuited States Senate; but Lion Cameron is not one of them. The Holmes Cane.
