CURRENT EVENTS.
The weather has lately been affecting
the stock markets. The long, continued
drouth in the East damaged the hay
and vegetable crops, while in the West
and South, the floods and cyclones dam
aged the wheat, corn and cotton crops,
all of which are listed in the stock ex
changes, and all of which reached a low
level last week.
In the iron and steel trade the do
mestic output now snpplies the demand,
and importation has stopped, though
railway construction keeps up the price
of steel rails.
The railway earnings continue to be
phenomenal, the movement of merchan
dise is heavy, money is easy, and the
Nation is prosperous.
Fifty years ago the President of the
United States or a candidate for the
Presidency "swung around the circle"
east of the Mississippi; now the circle
skirts the Pacific coast, and in fifty
years more it will probably include
the North pole and the Panama canal.
"The World do move. 4 ' President
Roosevelt landed in Washington last
Friday evening after an excursion, or
' 'swing around "the circle" during which
he travelled fourteen thousand miles by
mil and several hundred more by'coach
and horse— a trip that is an education
in itself, and during which he has
probably acquired information that will
be of use to the Nation, for in all pro
bability he will succeed himself as
President.
The investigation into the postoffice
scandals are being vigorously pursued.
One of the bureaucrats has already
been indicted and two others are under
arrest. Mr. Machen is accused of pay
ing several prices for materials, and re
ceiving a "rake-off" of forty per-cent.
The frauds discovered have been in the
Rural Free Delivery department, which
is no good reason for condemning the
system, but if the assertion that it is
now costing the Nation twenty-cents to
deliver a two-cent letter by the R. F.
D. is true, that is a cogent impeach
ment. The Nation, in the interest of
better communication, will not balk at
paying all or a little more than the
postage for rural deliver}-. Bat when
it comes to a cost of 10 times the Dostage
even an allowance for the extravagance
of the system does not give such a i"oute
a reasonable excuse for existence.
Forty millions of dollars will have
been expended on the grounds and
buildings of the St. Louis exposition
before the gates are opened, next year.
That is a very large sum—two and a
half times as much as we paid Napoleon
for the French title to the whole stretch
of country, from Louisiana to Oregon—
but the results will be to the glory and
profit of the whole nation.
We see it stated in a Philadelphia pa
per, that visitors to the Centennial, Chi
cago and Buffalo Fairs from foreign
countries were as much impressed with
the evidences of the mental and moral
development of this nation as they
were with the mechanical development,
though the latter evoked their highest
praise, and that an effort will be made
to exhibit the civic as well as the manu
factured results of this state at St.
Louis.
That is a good idea. We had it at
Buffalo, to some extent, in a little two
cent building, around the corner, which
nobody could find and were ashamed of
when they did find it, though it cost the
state $30,000: and for St. Louis we sug
gest an enlarged reproduction of Inde
pendence hall, containing a number of i
large glass cases, in one of which will be'
wax figures of some of our state officials,
holding out to the view of an astonished
World, a gilt-edged copy of the Salus-
Grady libel law.
This case should be marked "Exhibit:
Z," for it would be the most discredit
able on the grounds.
THE objection to the libel law recent
ly passed by the Pennsylvania Legisla
ture is not so much on account of the
unreasonableness of its provisions as
the unwholesomness of the principle
involved. In dealing with the great
problems of human liberty we must
dismiss our personal feelings and prej
udices and look at matters from the
bioad standpoint of the general good.
Progress in government is always in
the direction of greater freedom, and
the liberty of the press, being vital to
universal suffrage, should be regarded
as one of the most sacred of our insti
tutions. Any restrictions of the rights
of free speech must therefore be regard
ed as a step backward towards oppress
ion.—Spirit.
"Herrick, Harding and Harmony"
will be the battle cry in Ohio, this year.
At the Republican Convention in Col
umbus, lasFThursday, M. T. Herrick of
Cuyahoga was nominated for Governor,
and W. G. Harding of Marion for Lieu
tenant Governor.
Selecting Teachers.
The first qualification of a male teach
•r is that he be a gentleman, and the
tir. t qualification for a female teacher
is : hat she be a lady—all the other qual
ifications follow. Our friend Smith of
the Punxsutawney Spirit who ranks the
worthy school-teacher with the poets
H i t philosophers says:
"It is our conviction that nine-tenths
•if ■he boys an d girls, who might have
developed a lofty intellectuality, are
railed by coarse-grained, crude and in
<-„i .able persons who are given places as
tochers in our public schools
About the minor concerns of life we
Hr-' more rational. If we hire a man to
tend a horse we inquire what he knows
about horses—can lie take care of them
properly ? Does he know his business ?
But we send a child to the public
schools with scarcely a thought as to
whether the person who assumes the
role of teacher is even possessed of good
common sense, much less whether he
possesses that exaltation of soul that en
«l>!ds him to fashion a delicate brain in
to .i thing of beauty.
When a real teacher is found he
should not be permitted to quit the
wyrk because better inducements are
offered in other spheres of action. He
should be compensated according to his
worth. It is more important that chil
dren should grow np into glorious man
hood and womanhood than that the
stock of manufacturing and commercial
establishments should pay twenty per
cent
Two Tliforit- of Legislation. |
Judge Carpenter of Colorado had in a
recent decision tlatly negatived the con
tention that a court having the validity
of a legislative act before it may not in
qnire whether it was passed in accord
ance with constitutional requirements
Otherwise he declares oppressive laws
may be impo -ed upon our people with
out any remedy.
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
in case of Kilgore vs. McGee held the
opposite, though not without misgiving,
as the record shows. Between the two
opposing theories the people will have
no difficult} - in seeing that the Colorado
decision establishes a check on legisla
tive fraud and irregularity. The Penn
sylvania judicial theory refuses any
remedy. The Constitution of Pennsyl
vania, like all American constitutions,
deemed it vitally necessary that all leg
islative proceedings shall be conducted
under certain limitations, for the as
surance of fairness, deliberation and
common honesty. But the Pennsylvania
ruling lays down the principle that these
constitutional requirements can be nul
lified with impunity if a false certificate
is obtainable that they have been re
spected.
It has not before this year been as
serted that the Governor acting as a
part of the law-making power may net
withhold his approval of a bill which
he know* to have been unconstitution
ally passed. The joint effect of the ju
dicial and Gubernatorial holdings is to
give notice to unscrupulous leeislators
that if they can get a bill through the
two houses without a majority vote, or
without the readings required by the
Constitution, their fraud will be suc
cessful. By this view the presiding offi
cers and clerks of the Legislature are
the real lawmakers.
This is one of the gravest questions
raised in our State politics. It affects
the integrity of representative legisla
tion. Nor is it any merely abstract is
sue. A Harrisburg paper has declared
itself ready to prove that bills were
passed in the last session by the device
of one member answering for, and vot
ing in, the names of members who were
absent, and no one has taken up the
challenge. A veteran legislator in a
hearing before the Governor referred to
the practice x»f "clerking" bills through
the Legislature. The testimony in a
noted political case involving legislative
practices in 1901 lesve3 no doubt as to
the possibility of placing enactments on
the statute book by fraud.
Of course, the people have one rem
edy left. The dety is the more impera
tively laid on them to elect members of
the Legislature who will neither engage
in such frauds themselves nor permit
others to carry them out. But the rec
ognition of that duty does not lessen
the peculiarity of the doctrine that if
dishonest men secure fraudulent enact
ment of laws the form of certification
is more important than the fact of the
fraud.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
News Notes.
Four New Kensington boys were
drowned in the river, Tuesday.
The yillage of Black Walnut,along the
Misssouri River, was surrounded by
water, last Saturday. Two hundred
people were prisoners until a steamer
arrived from St. Louis.
The woods of Maine, Northern New
York and New Jersey were burning,
last week, and all the coast cities, in
cluding Boston, New YorK and Phila
delphia, were enveloped in smoke.
Part of St. Louis was under water
this week; the water in the channel of
the Mississippi was about forty feet
deep; the Union station in East St.
Louis was temporarily abandoned, no
trains crossed the bridges, twenty lives
were lost asd the property loss was es
timated in the millions; 23,000 people
were homeless and 200,000 acres of farm
land was covered.
A cold-blooded member of the Mich
igan Legislature has introduced a bill
into the State Assembly, which provides
for the killing of all feeble-minded and
deformed children who are regarded as
hopeless cases. The name of this heart
less representative of the people is Rod
gers and he hails from Muskegon. This
gentleman excuses his measure upon
utiltarian grounds and backs it up with
the plea that humanitarian interests de
mand the removal of children whose
minds are such as to render them a bur
den to society and incapable of liappi
ness for themselves. The bill is based
upon the report from the superintend
ent of the State asylum tcv the effect
that many of the inmates do not pos
sess, nor ever will have, mind enough
to know that they are alive.
Birthday Surprise.
On June 2nd. which was the 55th
birthday of S. N. Harvey, a highly re
respected citizen and farmer of Clinton
twp. Butler Co. who had gone out as
usual to perform his days work, for he
is a man noted for his industriousness.
when to his surprise the friends and
neighbors came driving in and began to
prepare tables in the barn, which was a
a very suitable one for the occasion,
and when the tables were ready the
ladies filled them with the most sump
tuous food, and two hours later when
almost two hundred felt as though each
and every one had done justice for
once. After which the Presbyterian
Minister, O. J. Hutchison, made somo
very pleasing remarks. The meeting
was then called and Mr. John C, Norris
was appointed president and L. S.
Lardin. sec. An address was made
followed by instrumental music also
vocal music by the young ladies and
Mr. Elridge Harvey and Mr. W. C.
Gibson, aud the day passed quickly by
and each and every one thanked Mr
Harvey aud his wife for their kindness
and the good time, hoping they both
may live to enjoy many more such oc j
casions.
A Surprise Party.
A pleasant surprise party was given at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Grah
am. Venango township, Saturday, June
6, in honor of Mrs. Graham. About 10
a. IU. the friends and neighbors began
to gather and by noon about 250 were
present. Those from a distance were:
Mr. and Mrs. Addison Addletnan and
family of Buffalo, N. Y., and Mrs.
Mosley and daughter of Griflith, O.
The Eau Claire band was present and
furnished excellent music for the occas
ion. Dinner was served and everybody
seemed to enjoy themselves, an J had
plenty to eat and lots left.
Rev. Smallenberger, of Eau Cl«ire,
was called on to make an address: he
did so and made a very good one for the
occasion. The only mishap that hap
pened throughout the day was that a
gentleman lost his hat. It is thought
he hid it in an apple tree near the table,
so he would have an excuse to go back
to see if there was any chicken left as he
is a lover thereof. About 4 o'clock, after
wishing Mr. and Mrs. Graham a long and
happy life the people returned to their
homes feeling that the day was well
spent in joy and happiness.

The Inn IIIIIHIIUMI ami Fiftieth |
Auiiiversarj' ol' New York City, j
Although it might have been possible |
to find a more sentimental event than ;
the incorporation of the city on which
to base the recent 250 th anniversary of
New York, such, for instance, ijs the
landing of the first settlers, or the pur
chase of Manhattan Inland by the Dotch
for sixty guilders, it cannot be denied
thai the incori»ration marks the actual
birth of the city and is the logical land
mark from which to measure its life
and progress anion!; the great cities of
the world. There is, of course, an un
avoidable sameness in all such celebra
tions, but ir. this particular case there
were circumstances which gave to the
celebration a special interest,and served
to draw the attention of the civilized
world. In all the world's history there
is no parallel to the extraordinary rap
idity of the growth of New York city
in wealth, extent and population. In
1653 we find a little settlement of 1,500
souls, housed in a few modest home 3 in
a clearing at the southerly end of forest
covered and rocky Manhattan Island.
Two hundred and "fifty years later, New
Amsterdam is represented by splendid
New York, with a population of
upon four millions of souls. The forests
of Manhattan have been swept away,
the swamps filled in. the rocky hills laid
low, and the island covered from end to
end and from river to river with rnojes
tic buildings devoted to commerce and
industry, with the magnificent homes
of its successful merchants and finan
ciers, and the lofty apartment and tene
ment homes of its busy toilers, while its
streets and avenues are seamed and un
dermined with a veritable network of
railways for the quick transit of its in
habitants.
It would be a distinction for any city
to have grown in two and a half cen
turies from a mere village to be the
second greatest metropolis of the world
But New York city has been favored by
holding a commanding geographical
position which in itself has undoubted
ly given it a prestige unique among the
cities of the world. Most fitly has it
been named the gateway of the western
hemisphere, for into its harbor and out
ward through its radiating network of
railways, has poured and been dis
tributed that marvelous stream of cos
mopolitan humanity which has con
tributed so largely to our growth in
population, and to the development of
that national versatility to yrhleh our
commercial success is largely due. New-
York city has increased by a steady in
flux from every quarter of the compass:
from the East by the immigration of
foreign races, a large percentage of
which has made New York its home,
while from the West, North, and South
it has grown by the steady inflow of
the more energetic amftng its own
native population, whose ambition has
drawn them to a city that holds out
promises of wealth and fame, promises,
by the way, that it frequently redeems
with a most lavish hand.
Although the municipal history of
New York city has been extremely tur
bulent and much of it discreditable, al
lowance must be made for the fact that
the city is so largely cosmopolitan, and
that it has ever been the favorite hunt
ing ground of the political adventurer.
When we remember how many thous
ands of immigrants settle each year
within its boundaries, and that these
people, many of whom cannot even
speak the language of the country, are
early invested with the privileges of the
franchise, the marvel is 'not that the
city should have hud so much, but
rather that it should have had so little,
that is disastrous and humiliating writ
ten in its records. Moreover, there is
mtych promise for the future in the fact
that whenever the best elements among
the citizens of New York city have set
themselves to reform municipal abuses,
they have been easily able to obtain full
control and have proved, as at present
they are proving, that the city can con
duct its affairs righteously and justly
and in the best interests of the individ
ual citizen
It is pardonable at a time like the
present to make a forecast of the future;
and it may safely be said that if the city
continues to grow at the present aston
ishing rate, ii will hold, sooner than
many of us expect, the proud position
of being the leading metropolis of the
world, pre-eminent not merely for its
numbers, extent and wealth, but also,
let us hope, for the purity of its govern
ment and the high ideals and political
integrity of its citizens.—Scientific

More Disasters in the Southland.
Fifty lives and millions of dollars in
property were lost in the Pacelot Valley
in South Carolina, last Saturday, as the
result of a cloudburst in the mountains.
The Pacolet river rose 30 feet in an
hour. From a small stream it became
a raging, roaring torrent, carrying
everything before it. It swept through
the towns of Clifton and Pacolet. leav
ing them a mass of ruins. Five great
cotton mills were swept away Thou
sands are homeless and their meaus of
livelihood is destaoyed.
With one exception the entire los
of life was at Clifton. There the flood
descended so that there was not time
for all to escape. At Pacolet the people
took warning in time.
It was 5 o'clock that morning when
the people of Clifton were awakened
by the bells calling them to work. They
had just aroused when it was seen that
the river was rising. An alarm was
given, but the people did not compre
hend their danger until it was too late
for many to escape.
The mills were destroyed, as was the
great railroad bridge The preachers
of Clifton unite in putting the loss of
life at 50. Several entire families were
swept away. There were many heroic
rescues One little boy was carried off on
a log. He called for aid, but no help
could reach him and he perished in
sight of all. In that town every man
woman and child is in enforced idle
ness. Their means of earning a living
is destroyed. Probably $200,000 is the
money loss in that village.
Mrs. Diiss is It.
John S. Duss has resigned the trus
teeship of the Economy Society and his
wife has been elected in his stead.
Duss is booking orders that will take
him and his baud all over the country
next season: and as his wife is n business
woman she will look after the society's
properties and rentals. The only other
male member of the society yet living
is the old basket maker Franz Geltman
—very old and very docile.
Mrs. Duss as president-trustee will re
main in her home in Economy—the
House of the Fathers or the great house,
as it is familiarly called. Under the
terms of the sale to the union company
the society retains three squares of the
town pioper, that portion from the
main road overlooking the river to the
street on which the Great house fronts,
and taking in the Music hall aud the
uext block. The graveyard is also re
tained and the use of the church for a
term ot years is allowed This reserves
for the society the choicest part of the
plateau of Economy nnd assures its
members a residence section exculsively
their own
A great change has come over Econ
omy within the past two years. It is
peopled with strange faces. All the
houses, the new ones and the remodeled
dwellings that were made from tlie
workshops of the old-timers, are tenant
ed, and builders are rapidly erecting
hundreds of new dwellings to house the
industrial army that is being brought
there to man the big plants and mills
going up in the vicinity of the once
quiet, rural community.

To live all my lifetime I think it is best.

A MISERABLE HAN.
Two Years and Six Months
Without Sleep.
Sleep seems to be in many caaet a
matter of habit, just as eating and
drinking are habits. The Arab whose
desert life leads to abstemiousness, de
clines the offer of a draught of water,
saying, "No thank you, I drank yester
day." lie drinks only when thirsty,
and like his own camels, he can go long
and far without water.
It's much the same with sleep. When
Gabet and Hue, the French missiona
ries, were exploring Tartary they en
gaged in the translation of the Scrip-
tures, working without intermission day
and night. When one felt the need of
sleep he lay on a couch, holding in his
hand a ball, beneath which, on the
floor, was a brazen bowl. When his
muscles relaxed sufficiently to release
the ball, it fell into the bowl, and the
noise wakened the sleeper who resumed
his work.
But it is one thing to give up sleep
and another thing altogether to be
unable to sleep. Those who suffer
from asthma, bronchitis and other dis
eases of the organs of respiration are
only too familiar with this enforced
wakefulness. They would give almost
anything for a night's unbroken rest.
THE SECRET OF SLEEP
for them lies in the cure of the diseases
which banish slumber. That this cure
is possible is abundantly proven by
those who have used Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery for the cure
of bronchitis, obstinate and deep-seated
coughs, lung "trouble" and otner dis
eases of the organs of respiration.
"I can this day say that Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is the best
and only remedy I have ever found for
what the doctors call asthma," writes
Mr. F. G. Rodemeyer, of 45 Hayden
Street, Fort Wayne, Ind. "I have' suf
fered from hay - fever (and I get the
asthma with it), every year in August
unl September for the last fifteen vears,
and could not sleep one night during
that time, until this year, I have not
lost one night's sleep, thanks to Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery; and
best of all I did not get the asthma with
the hay-fever, and I only used two bottles
of the 'Golden Medical Discovery.' "
The cures accomplished by the use of
"Golden Medical Discovery" are as
numerous as they are wonderful. The
great triumphs of this medicine have
been won in the cure of chronic dis
eases of many years standing. When
every other medicine had failed to do
more than give tempory relief, Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
mads a perfect and permanent cure.
Even when the disease was far advanced;
■when there were hemorrhages, night
sweats, emaciation and great weakness,
"Golden Medical Discovery" has cured
the disease and restored the strength
WHAT FEW MEN KNOW,
is that catarrh in its commonest or
simplest form is a menace not merely
to health but to life. Catarrh of the
lungs i 9 but a step removed from con
sumption. Catarrhal affections should
therefore never be neglected. They are
as dangerous as they are offensive.
"For twelve years I was a sufferer
from catarrh and was treated by one of
the best physicians in the State of North
Carolina, who said the trouble had
reached my lungs," writes Mr. J. M.
Patton, of Clotno, Transylvania Co.,
N. C. "I grew worse every day until
I tried Dr. Pierce's medicines. Will
say, Sc. Pierce's Golden Medical Dift-
eovery with one bottle of Dr. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy cured me, and to-day
I am well and* hearty, and I will say
further that my former physician, Dr.
W. M. Lyday, recommends Dr. Pierce's
medicine to me and to others. I an
sure your medicines will cure any case
of catarrh that exists. I recommend
them to all."
By purifying the blood and increas
ing the activity of the blood-making
glands "Golden Medical Discovery"
strengthens every organ of the body.
Accepting the fact that the blood if the
life, it follows that the healthfulness of
the physical life will depend upon the
healthmlness of the blood, ana that a
deficient supply of blood must result
in a deficiency of physical strength.
"Golden Medical Discovery" gives
health and strength by increasing the
quantity and improving the quality of
the blood. The evidence of this lies in
the marked gain in weight experienced
by those who have become emaciated
by wasting disease, and who have been
cured by the use of "Golden Medical
Discovery." It is not a gain of flabby
fat, but a gain of sound flesh and firm
muscle, and with this gain of flesh and
muscle comes a gain of strength, which
seeks a new outlet for itself in active
exercise. The frequent testimony, "It
has made a new man of me," thoroughly
expresses the real rejuvenation whicn
comes to those cured by the use of
"Golden Medical Discovery."
Accept no substitute for "Golden
Medical Discoveiy." No so-called "just
as good" medicine can compare with
the "Discovery" when its record of
cures is considered.
