It is now almost exactly a year since the Fifty-third Congress met in special session at the call of the President. The Committee on Ways and Means of the Jlonse started to work on a tariff bill at once, and prepared the first draft just before Congress reassembled in December. It was a monstrous bill —one that simply assassinated American industries by the score. The House took hold of the matter and managed to improve it con siderably, though when it went to the Senate last February it still was about as bad as the worst enemy ol the country could have wished. The Senate prepared a new bill, ■which was bad enough, but was a distinct advance over the House bill, In that it recognized industries north of Mason and Dixon's line But this would not suit certaiu Democrats, who loved their States better than the Cleveland brand of Democracy. So a practically new bill was made, which still further recognized protection with the knowledge and consent of the Presi dent. Then came the deluge. President Cleveland's letter has thrown lais party into a slate of ferment. It has arrayed some of his strongest supporters against him and brought his chief enemy to his defense. Democrat has risen up against Democrat. The knife is out. The air is full of mutterings and threats. The hill was saved from defeat by the action of the Populist in refusing to vote, but it still in jeopardy. The Senate insists on its bill again and the House, while holding out, shows signs of wavering by talking of a caucus. So tho end seems as far off as ever. It is certain to be the Senate bill or no bill, and the President cannot sign it without Btultifying himself. He demands free coal and iron. A tariff on these he calls "perfidy and dishonor."' Can he indorse such a bill ? To this condition have we come at last that the Democratic party, strongly intrenched in power, can not carry through a measure which it claims to have been overwhelming ly demanded by the people in 1802. If the people ever made such a de mand they have repudiated it long ago and in November will make another demand of a different kind. If a Tariff bill is not passed within a few weeks the McKinley law will remain in force for the next ten years. No such demonstration of the in competency and dishonesty of Demo cracy could have been asked by re publicans as the party in power has shamelessly given the public. The Democratic party has neither cour age nor convictions and is drifting hopelessly on a stormy sea. Its first year of power has been one of absolute failure. Who can deny it? One of the first results of the war lietween Japan and China is the inti mation that both nations will try to negotiate loans in England. Neith er Japan nor China may make much out of the war, but the British money-lenders will get a clinch on both nations, and thus the way will be opened for Great Britain as a nation to protect British interests in these countries. This protection never has any meaning but one, and it would not be surprising if the war gave an opportunity to Great Britain to obtain a hold in China acd ; Jap:in that will be difficult to shake 1 loose.

Roudyism will not l>e tolerated in the pic-uie grove nor in the streets of Ln porte on the 15th of August. There is'nt any use of tis mention ing this, however, as we do not ad dress our paper to those kind of ! people. Strehy suppose you give them a tip through Grandmother. New York has on its statute book a law which once prevailed in Penn sylvania rating human life as worth at the outside #5.000. Its railroad companies cannot be compelled to pay more than that sum for an}' life lost through the carelessness and negligence of their manasement. Gov. Pattison and his staff will ride from Ilarrisburg to Gettysburg to attend the Annual Encampment of the National Guard, which meets there August 11. 1894. He will be accompanied by the Governor's Troop of Ilarrisburg, as an escort and probably the City Troop will make tlx?march with the above. United States District Attorney E. P. Ingham of Philadelphia and who is visiting friends in Laporte, left for Gettysburg on Tuesday. He goes to commence suit against the parties who are excavating for a trolley line and defacing the old battle field. It is probable that this matter will be amicably settled indue lime. Sheriff Mahaftey made fun for the boys on Monday. He attempted to carry a hod of mortar to the second story of the courthouse. The thing spilt out behind and covered him with the mushv stiff from his neck to his heels lie was a sight to behold, and the boys gave a [ lauyh that rocked the courthouse foundation. If you can't keep cool altogether, keep as cool as you can. Don't tret worried over little things. It n< ver pajs, and in this sort of weather it is positively dangerous. Don't drink much ice water, nor drinks that heat the blood. In a word, be temperate in all things if you desire to pass through the heated term with any degree of comfort. The work of drilling at the Forks ton oil well came to a sudden termination on Friday last and it. was given out by those engaged there that the work had stopped be cause there were no indications of oil. The derrick ami works were closed up and it is understood that another well will be put down nearer j the vicinity of the one put down a ! dozen years ago.— Ex.

Williamsport is still waiting the arrival of a government ei.gineei from Washington to tell them" how to protect, their city from overflow, They had a meeting of citizens and council's committee Tuesday of last week at which Mr. Young presided. He read a telegram from Maj. Ray mond, the government engineer, as signed to give an opinion in the matter, announcing that he could not get here before September 1, but was ready to send an engineer to do the preliminary work as" soon as he was informed what was wanted, Mr. Young was instructed to in form Maj. Raymond that they wanted advice as to the most feasible and economic means of protecting Williamsport against maximum Hoods and are ready to give data and all required information as soon as the engineer arrives. During the evening Mr. Young said he had as chairman of the com mittee received many suggestions as to the best means of preventing nnj more big floods, but he would onlj report one as the man who offered it said it was the only one. This man told Mr. Young that the thiu«j to do would be to start at Cliesa peak Bay and dig the channel ol the river ten feet deeper and 10( feet wider as far up as Clearfield. SONESTO WN ITEMS. H. C.

Newspaper subscriptions are in fallible tests of a man's honesty. If he has any dishonest blood in him he will cheat the printer l>y any and every means in his power—declare he has paid when he has not, or that he has a receipt at home which shows that lie had paid when lie has not, or that the money was lost in the mails. Many an otherwise honest man is dishonest in this re spect. The country printer's sub scription book will tell a fearful tale on the final day of reckoning. .4 IIISKK'S KNTATK.

Slater, who claims the Grimm money in behalf of her daughter, Mrs. Henjam U. Sutton, o! 010 Broad street, Newark, N. J., is the direct defendant iu the suit which has been instituted bj Samuel S.atci, who claims that she was not the legal wife of his father, and therefore not entitled to an}' of his property. Jhe elder Slater died in February, 1892. leaving an estate valued at SIO,OOO, of which Mrs Slater leceivid her dower and $.'50,00 life insurance.
