CONGRESS
The next Congress will stand
about two to one Republican,
and in the Senate the Republicans
will probably have a majority over
the combined Democrats and
Populists.
Bitter For Altgeld.
The Republican state central commit
tee of Illinois issued the following:
"To the Citizens of Illinois:
"The Republican state central com
mittee congratulate you on your action
at the polls to-day, which places the
western empire state at tha head of the
list of the honest and law abiding com
monwealths in the union. The election
of Gov. Tanner by a pluraltiy equal to
the wonderful strength of the idol of
protection, is a tribute lo his worth and
a declaration that the ptcple of Illinois
know he will give them a good adminio
tration. Wc possibly return a solid dele
gation to the lower house of congress to
support the I'rcsident elect in a policy
which will benefit the whole country,
and secure a legislature which wi!l send
to the senate a Republican in place of
Gen lolin M. l'almer. The verdict will
be received with joy by the entire Nation
because the defeat of Al'geld ami his
heresy of antagonism to the court was
no» less important than the rebuke to
the free silver heresy. Illinois stands
proudly before the civilized world as
leading the advance guard in the batt'e
for the great principles for which the
Republican party fights.

The Tax on School Bonds.
Up to Monday of this week our com
missioners had received no word re
garding the tax in school bonds, but
the following from the Pittsburg I>is
patcll of butt Friday, indicates that a
move in being made in that direction:
"The State officials at Harrisburg hnve
made a move on the lionds issued by the
various sub-school districts of the State.
They propose to collect a Stat - tax on all
the school bonds issued in Pennsylvania.
County Solicitor N. S. William-, has just
received a letter froin the Attorney' #eneral
notifying him to instruct the County
Commissioners to list all school t bond:. for
taxation. Similar noti< es has been «ent
to the proper officers of all the countie,
in the State.
Another move is also being made on
the other sid". It is claimed that school
districts have no authority to pay iaxi .
on their own bonds ami that school bond*
should b- exempt or else the holders will
have to pay the tax "whether th• .e is a
contract to the contrary or not.
New blanks issued from Hurri . <urg for
the tax payers to make a return of per
urinal property were received by the
County Commissioners a few I'ays ago.
They contain a new clause that iias never
appeared in the direction heretofore
given. It i. that the t xpiycr must
make a return of any bonds he may hold
issued by any vhool district of Pennsyl
vania.
Heretofore no reference ha . been made
to a return of Pennsylvania school bond .
As a consequence, very few of the hoi
era of bunds who live in Pennsylvania
; have made a report of bonds they held,
J and paid no ta* oil them. A few who
, did repott them were taxed without any
I comment being made, but the majority
1 escaped.
Clerk 11. T. Rowley, of the Coinmis
| (doners office, made inquiries at Harris
j leirx regarding the new instructions, and
' was informed that under the new law a
I tax must be paid on interest bearing
1 fcliool bonds, persons living outside of
iof Pennsylvania, however, cannot l»e
j compelled to pay a tax here on bonds
( they may hold.
j The main pt.rpose >f the State authori
ties, however, is to keep do er tab on
the school districts that issue bond with
a clan < providing that the district is'.u
ing them will pay all taxes on them. A
question lias been raised on thin, how
ever, that will likely result In a test suit
and may caure all school bonds to be
declared exempt from State taxation.
Thk remains of the late George Du-
Maurier were cremated, in compliance
with directions left by him. This fact
has directed intention to the increasing
use «f this process for disposing of the
body. Sensibly considered, it is no more
objectionable than inhumation. Sooner
or later the body must return to air and
earth. It is merely a question whether
the wormi. .ball eat us or whether we
nliall undergo the same process by the
quicker agency of fire. Viewed from a
sanitary point, incineration lias every ad
vantage over burial in the earth. The
contamination of water supplies by de
composing bodies is a rccoginized fact.
The number in favor of creaiuation slow
ly increase . The late Kate Pield directed
her remains to be cremated. Julia Mar
lowe Tuber has made provision in her
will for cremation. Among tho'e who
have declared in favor of the fire process
are Klla Wheeler Wilcox, Marshall P.
Wilder, I)r. 1). S. Kainsford and liishop
l*oit**r, Professor Chhrlcs liliot Norton,
William Waldorf Astor, Edward Everett
Hale, Andrew Carnegie and Charlea

A notable case has jnst been decided
by the Supreme C' urt of Illinois, where
two young bankers must serve a term in
the penitentiary because the bank which
they inherited from their father was in
solvent. It is pretty tough luck to in
herit a term in the penitentiary.
A man down in Reading has been fined
$S for swearing over the telephone.
Probably he used Pennsylvania Dutch
and broke the wires. At any rate it is
a warning to quick tempered users of the
phone to short circuit their jaws before
starting a conversation over the wire.
Experts have come to the conclusion
that what kills trees in London is not the
soot flakes or the want of air or the
drought, but the sewsr gass, which at
tacks the roots so that the tree withers

SILKS
Wish there was some way we
could send every woman reader
of this psper samplts of these all
silk Black Brocades at £I.OO
without waiting for her to write
for them, and then a good many
more would get them than other
wise, and a great rush of orders
would be the result thereof—
these are silks of such unusual
worth —good and heavy and choice
; handsome patterns, such as will
! produce results whether the wo
man who comes in contact with
them has any thought of buying
silks or not — 22 inches wide —
will you write for them?
Other Black Brocades at 50, 60
75c up to $3.00 a yard, and every
piece in the assortment was well
bought both as to price and de
sirability, but for superior worth
there's none can equal the above
mentioned line at SI.OO.
A collection of good Black
Silks at 50c a yard, every yard of
which is worth at least half as much
more—Peau de Soie, Faille Francaisse,
Radzimirs, Armure, Rhadame, Satin
Duel-esse etc —all desirable weaves and
quality that will speak for itself.
Moire Velours, or as some folks call
them —Moire Poplins—are very desirable
for skirts— SsC, fi.oo and $1.25; extra
wide— 32 inch ones; $2.00 and $2.50.

Hundreds of pieces of fine black goods
