WASHINGTON. Russia has lost no time in retaliating against the order of Secretary Gage in creasing the tariff upon Russian sugar. Count Cassini, Russia's Ambassador at Washington, is in receipt of informa tion by cable that his government made an order abolishing all concessions to American iron, steel, hardware and machinery. The effect of the order is to advance the Russian tariff 50 per cent upon all these products. American exports of iron aDd steel manufactures to Russia last year amounted to about $10,000,000, and it is believed the advance of 50 per cent in the tariff will com pletely kill that trade. Russia has become one of America's best customers, and the development following the completion of the Trans- Siberan railroad promised to give our mills and factories additional millions worth of trade. Politically Russia was friendly and had made concessions of 30 and 2.'j per cent in tarriffs to favor American imports. At one stroke these are alxilished in favor of Germany and Great Britian, our only rivals in these lines. All this for a tariff penalty upon a paltry 1650,000 worth, or less, of Rus sian sugar. y The bill to authorize the holding of "the international exposition in celebra tion of the centennial anniversary of of the Louisiana purchase at St. Louis in IW)3 and appropriating $5,000,000 therefor, passed the House Monday under suspension of the rules by a vote of 101 to 41. The opposition was hope lessly in the minority and the straggle over the bill was brief. The Ship Subsidy bill met with de feat in the Senate. Libel Law Tinkering. The first of Senator Grady's serial at tempts to muzzle free discussion of public affairs by the press was very materially improved by the adoption of the Cooper amendment in the House yesterday. That amendment, however, does not make the new bill as good as the existing law. It is a clever and pertinent commen tary to propose in this amendment to make a statutory declaration of the constitutional liberty of the press, and the unwelcomed character of that amendment is sufficiently illustrated by the opposition of the supporters of the Grady brand of legislation to tae adoption of the language of the Con stitutiyj* But an example in the way in w Web the Cooper amendment falls of it&own standard is afforded in ittfexcTusion o? the plea of justifica tion "where the words used are plainly directed against private character." Private character in the case of a can didate for office may sometimes have the most cogent public interest. If an emliezzler in private life should become a candidate for an office of public trust would Mr. Cooper have the press de barred from informing the people of his private character? As to Mr. Grady's second installment of press censorship, it is the sort of bill which the gentlemen in tempory retire ment at Riverside and Moyamensirig would pass if they had the opportunity of the gentlemen at Harrisburg. There is no need for any snch absurd legislation. The present libel iB ade quate for the civil and criminal punish ment of abuses by the press. No case has been cited of any honest man who has been injured invoking it in vain. There are some reckless and malignant journals , but their nnmber is happily few.- -The improvement in public taste is a better corrective for papers with a vicious animus than any ridiculous and extreme measures like the second Grady bilL—Dispatch. N EIOII BOftHOC »I» NOT Eh. Allegheny City had a sensation, Tues day. A "ran" was made on the German National Bank, caused by a misappre hension regarding an issue of bonds by the Pressed Steel Car (Jo. At the Zoo in Indianapolis.a few days ago, a young man engaged in cleaning the cages of the animals unintentionally stepped into that of a ferocious tiger, and was chewed to death before the force could rescue him. A dozen bul lets were tired iDto the animal, but he would not release his hold on the young man till a red-bot poker was thrust into his month. Knox, Clarion Co. had a ijss,ooo fire Monday night. The losers were Alt man, Anstin, Haust. Rankin and others H. C. Frick lately paid SOIO,OOO for property on Grant St. and Sixth Ave. near the Court House, and it was rumored in Pittsburg, the other day that he had offered a million for the old Cathedral lot at corner of Fifth Ave. and Grant street. Untonville Literary Society. A literary society was organized at the Uniouville school house at McCand less. on Friday evening Feb. 15, I HOI. After the reading of the constitution by Jas. T. McCandless, the society was duly organized and the following offi cers were elected; President, James T. McCandlei s; Vice President, George W. Varnmh; Secretary Miss iva Miller; Marshall, Frank Varnnm; Critics. Sam uel Allen and Presley Heck. After these officers were installed and had taken charge of their respective offices, an interesting program consisting of recitations and a dialogue followed. Some of these speeches were quite laughable as well as instructive and en tertaining and were heartially applaud ed. A short recess followed, after which the society was again called to order by the president. The regular debate was next. The question, Resolved that there is more pleasure in the possession than in the pursuit, was discussed by E N. Snyder, A. McCandless and John Stamm, affirmative, James T. McCand less and C. Snyder, negative. Decision two to one in favor of the affirmative. After the reading of the program for March Ist fOOI, the society adjourned. The meeting on March Ist will l>e un usually interesting as a stirring debate and one or two big dialogues are schedul ed. We axe well pleased to see so many of the parents and citizens of the twp. in attendance and hope all will continue to come and encourage the young people in literaiy work. BOItOUGH ELECTIONS.

W. H. Kuhn returned home on last Monday from a trip through the north ern part of the county. Will says that a drive of 30 miles after night in the face of a blizzard is something never to be forgotten, particularly when one has to throw the lines around his neck and has to depend upon the good sense of his horse for guidance and safe delivery. The social and entertainment given by the Middletown school on Thursday night was witnessed and participated in by a large audience. The performance consisted of essays, recitations, songs and select reading. A cake walk en livened the exercises of the evening.

The local talent wan also well represented at the institute. Five sessions were held and they were quite well attended by the farmers The evening sessions were well attended by the young folks of the community, who took advantage of the opportunity to get, a sleigh ride. All were well pleased and will welcome another institute. A Blank Valentine. The office was crowded with eager faces awaiting the changing of the mail. It was St. Valentine's day and of coarse everyone was expecting their tokens of love, at the same time think ing of others who on this day would re ceive the tokens of love their hearts prompted them to send. Loud was the laughter and many the jests when the display of cotuic pictures was shown. But there was one who did not tacry to open his large envelope at the office, but in the seclusion of his own room and with a fast beating pulse and nervous fingers he hastily broke the seal and drew forth a large plain sheet of paper. It was of a purple tint and by appear ance without a single blot or marking of any kind, but a faint odor of violets prevailed the air and although disap pointment plainly showed on his face he smiled as he tossed the envelope into a drawer and turned the key in the lock. He then sat thinking of a dark pair of eyes and a pretty face that he knew would be bending over an elaborate val entine which he had posted with his own hand, although another had writ ten that name which was so dear to him. This disappointed young man thought he was a very ill used person. Two weeks before he had asked a certain young lady to be his "valentine" but his answer was the same old cry, "Oh: this is so sudden, I will have to have time to think it over.'' And when wanting to know when he should call for his answer he was informed that he need not call as it could be sent through the mail, and so he had to bide nts time and wait, but now that Valentine day was passed, and the hopes that be had had on that day of receiving his looked for answer, were icone, the blackest of disappointment filled his heart. A year spun around. A year contain ing 365 days, each day bringing a new disappointment, for the long looked for answer never came. Again it was \ al entine day and again an eatrer throng filled the post office, but one who had a year ago left that office with an expect ant smile on his face now left it with a look of diappointuitnt and hopeless des pair in its place. Again saeking the seclusion of his own room and sitting at his desk he ab sent mindedly places the key in the lock and draws forth the drawer which holds that fatal blank sheet of paper which has not been disturbed for a year As he once more draws it from the envelope the scent of violets smites his senses and for the first time he notices that it is an extra fine piece of paper, and taking it to the window, the better to examine it. he holds it be tween his eyes and the light and 10, there appears thereon the face of the one so dear to him and that has haunt ed his dreams for a year. His delight and surprise were so genuine that lor the space of ten seconds he failed to notice the verse which the light also brought to view and which read; "Oh! Dearest one I send to thee My one last Valentine, I am yours, dear, when you want me, Coiiie and claim mo anytime." When his eyes follow the above lines his lips fall on a blank sheet of paper, (for he had lowered it from the light) and it was then thrust in his pocket, and for the nest two hours the train on which he traveled seemed to travel back ward, such was his haste to reach a certain station, but at last the train ar rived and be was once more before the door that hid all that was dear to him With eager hand be grasj>e<l the knocker and sent a peal through the house which awakened the echoes to the kitchen from whence there emerged a damsel with r< sy cheeks and wealth of ] t black hair, and her plump arms were bared to the elbows, and nonr WHS tli powder with which they were covered, and on opening the door she spraug for ward with the cry, ' I knew you'd come, I told them so, but why bare you waited so long, dear ;"' This last with a tone of reproach in her voice, and re gardless of the foiled coat, made so by tlonr and dough. 1 took her in my arms .and told her all. How it had taken me a whole year to see my Valentine. J. O. E The Dark Set-ret. 1 visited at the Dark Secret, one fine winter day The sun glistened on the oil derricks in bright array. Th* wat Ephcan cook, it beats the band , 1 a!:- *o much 1 could hardly stand. WiUron, Thompson and Eph will fce! I their wives some day witii pride, How once in the Dark Secret, they did abide. They always gave their visitors a fair deal For they made it a point to give them a square meal. A pumper's life is a jolly one. From the rising until the settiug of the sun. Away from the city with all its snares. Out in trie country where they sow the wheat; arid not the tares. '1 hey took iu< around to sue the engines that pump up the oil: When the engine.-, started with lightning like speed it made me recoil. But those hardy boys seem to have no far For they see tliein go every dty in the year. There is a fascination i.i the lift* a pumper leads, With plenty of money to meet his needs. When on night turn he can commune with the stars; Study Saturn, Jupiter and Mars. 1 shall not soon forget my visit there. When around their sumptuous board I fully done my share. They vied with each other to make me feel at ease, And done their very best to please There is an old saying that pierces like a dart. That is "the best of friends must part;" So I resolutely tore myself away Thinking 1 had never passed a happier day. There is one thing I cannot pass by, Eph gave us grape nuts for dessert, in stead of pie. It was fine, good and sweet. 1 tell yon as a cook, Eph can't be beat 1 hope the boys will visit me and that right away, I will give them the best in the house without delay; 1 will do my best to make them ft el at ease, And try as they did my best to please. I must not forget Sammy, the lieagle hound; He sprang from a race, of great renoun. That day he took a notion to roam. He followed me nearly half way home. Boys may your shadows never grow less. May you always have plenty and ready to help any one in distress. And in the evening of life when your work is done. May you have a happy entrance into the Kingdom Come. 1 must now end toy yarn; I know you will say it is not worth a darn. But I enjoyed my visit, it was a treat. So ends my tale of the Dark Seer ete. Slippery ICoek. The Trax farm is situated in Slipj>ery flock twp. instead of Brady twp , where this oil well was struck and is the same farm that Charles Coventry owned, and sold to William Trax, a nail cutter from New Castle Pa.. in the early seventies.
