DAILY row AND A REV I E W. VOLUME I, NO. 151. TOWANDA, PA., THURSDAY AFTERNOON. FEBRUARY 5. 1880. PRICE ONE CENT. The News Condensed. Potter Palmer says that one Gilbert, who is soliciting anvertising for the Pal mer House Card, is a swindler. The trial ol'a number of election rases was begun at Newcastle, Delaware, yes terday. So far there have been four con victions for illegal voting—all Democrats. Western men gay they have seen enough of Kastern men in the ollice of Commis sioner of Indian Affairs, and they want a Western man now. John A. Walsh, a star route contractor, in his testimony before the investigating committee, yesterday, exploded the popu lar idea that there is a bonanza in the business. Mr. Henri Say's yacht lienriette sailed from Baltimore on her voyage along the Southern coast. She will stop at several points and will probably return in the late spring. Captain R. 11. Pratt, of the United States army, in charge of the training school for Indians at Carlisle barracks, Pa., made a vary interesting statement to the House Indian Committee relative to the snccess attending the above mimed school. Mr. Seward's Alaska purchase bids fair to turn out to be more valuable than has been anticipated by his countrymen at large. The discovery of valuable mineral deposits has recently attracted to that portion of our possessions con siderable immigration, and the whites will soon be strong enough to protect themselves against the natives. It is to tie noted hereafter tor its minerals, furs, fish and woods, and the climate i.s said to milder in some sections than in the New England States. An intimate friend asked Mrs. Hayes recently if she always wore her hair in the simple way she does. "Yes," said Mrs. Ilayes, "aud for a very good reason. I look like a fright with it crimped or ar ranged as most ladies dress their hair. I did one day try to make a change. Ii was since I have lived at the While House. I sent for a hair-dresser, and I wish you could have seen ine when the hair-divssei was through with inc. 1 looked anything but stylish, 1 can assure you, and I iiu mediatdly proceeded to take it all down and arrange it myself in m> old-fashion ed way, and I never attempted a cluing since." While the Republicans arc prematurelv active in preparing for the Presidential campaign, the Democrats seem to have no policy or purpose. They see and feel the mistake of the extra session, but they bhrink from any positive action to cor rect. that mistake, evidently hoping that by doing nothing—ceasing from blunder ing—they will lull to sleep the apprehen sions excited in the Northern mind by the untenable ground they took last Spring. That will not do. The Democrats must do something to regain public conlidenco, which they have forfeited. They must develop some policy besides that ot oppo sition and a desire to enjoy tiie spoils. One of the best tilings they could do would be to promptly pass a fair aud equitable measure for eountiog the elec toral votes. They ought, also, to pro vide lor the perfect security of the ballot under men of both parlies. These meas ures, with a ticket to match, would give the Democrats a fair chance next year. At present the chances are very much Against them, aud are not im, roving.— Boston Herald \lnd.) COAL! Reduction 'Coal.!

THE PRESIDENTIAL YEAR. " THE LEADING AMEBIC AN NEWS PA DEBT THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE FOR 1880. During the coining Presidential year The Tribune will be u utore effective agency tban ever for telling the new? best worth knowing, and for enforcing sound politics. From the day the war cloned it has been moat anxious for an end of sectional strife. But it suw two years ago, and was the first persist ently to Proclaim the new danger to the country from the revived alliance of the Solid South and Tammany Hall. Against that danger it sought to rally the old party of Freedom and the Union. It began by demanding the abandonment of personal dislikes, and set the example. It called for an end to attacks upon each other insti ad of the enemy; and for the heartiest, agreement upon whatever lit candidates the majority should put up against the common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has been turned hack; every doubtful state has been won, and the omens for National victory were never more cheering. THE TRIBUNE'S POSITION. Of The Tribune's share in all this, those speak most enthusiastically who have seen most of the struggle. It will faithfully portray the varning phases of the campaign now beginning. It will earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Union and l'ubltc Faith may select the man surest to win, and surest to make a good President. But in this crisis it can conceive of no nomination this party could make that would not be preferable to the best that could possibly be supported by the Solid South and Tammany Hall. The Tribune is now spending much labo and money than ever before to hold the distinction it has enjoyed of the large xt circulation among the beet people. It secured, and means to retain it by be wningthe medium of the best thought ami the /oice of the best couscience of the time, by keeping (breast of the highest progress, favoring the freees iiscussion*, hearing all sides, appealing always to he bet intelligence and the purest morality, and re aming to carter to the tastes of the vile or the preje lieos of the ignorant. riI'KCIAL FEATURES. The distinctive features of The Tribune are known to everybody, it gives all the news. It has the best correspondent*, and retains them from year to year, it is the only paper that maintains a special telegraphic wire of its own between its office and Washington. Its scientific, literary, artistic and re ligious intelligence is the fullest. Its book reviews l are the best, lp commercial aud financial is j the most exact Its type is the largest; and Its a* ; rang incut the ino*t systematic. THE PEML-W KKKI.Y TKIBUJs I is by far the most successful Semi-Weekly in the (country, having four times the circulation of any | other in New York. It is especially adapted to the large class of intelligent, professional or business i readers too far from New York to depend on our | papers for the daily news, who nevertheless want I the editorials, correspondence, book reviews, scien : tifie matter, lectures, literary mlscellaney, etc,, for ! which The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly ( it contains sixteen pages, and is in convenient form ' for binding, TilK WEEKLY TRIBUNE ! remains the great favorite of our substantial country ; population, and has the largest circulation of any i Weekly issued from the office of a i>Hily paper in j New York, or, so far as we know, in the United | States. It revises and condenses all the news of the ' week into more readable shape. Its agricultural de I partmcnt b more can fully conducted than ever,and |it has always been considered the best. Its market | reports are the official standard for the Dairymen's ■ Association, and have long been recognized author • it y on cattle, grain and general country produce. There are special departments for the young and for household interests; the new handiwork department i already extremely popular, gives unusually accurate j and comprehensive instructions in knitting, crochet ing, and kindrid subjects; while poetry, fiction and | the humors of the day are all abundantly supplied. l'he verdict of the tens of thousand old readers who ' have returned to it during the past year is that they ! find it better than ever.
