The Tucker act gives the House the power to prevent this, and it should be used. —A Bold attempt was made last week to blow up the officials of the clerk of court's office in the new county court housebuilding at Potts ville. Shortly after the office was opened for the day a box of explo sives was thrown through the door way from the corridor, droping at the feet of one of the deputies. As the box struck the Hoor several matches attached to it were ignited. The officials made a wild scramble for one of the vaults in which they took refuge. After waiting a rea sonable time for the infernal ma chine to explode they ventured out and examined the box, ascertaining that the mechanism had been im properly adjusted. The machine was placed in the hands of the court house police, who are now working on t he case. Fatal Accident at Lopez.

WW. —"Now that the gold standard is an assured thing," explains the Democratic editor, "the country need not be afraid of the silver plank we propose to place in our platform." In other words, this plank will be added for the purpose of deception and not as an evidence of good faith. There is no discount upon persistency and consistency of the Democratic party when it comes to plain and fancy humbugging. But do the people of the United States want to place in power a party whose hands must tirst be tied before they can be trusted. Mercantile Appraisement.
