Hendricks. ' Thursday, Sept. 2, 1897. Cut of Lovel. Them in n remarkable absence of brain lovel, to say nothing of the presence of moral turpitude, when members of a legislative body arro gato to themselves the right to squander the people's money on pleasure trips, entered upon with no idea of public service. Through the following of that bad ly warped idea, members of our State Legislature have gotten them selves into very bad odor, and they may think their lucky stars that it is no worse than that We refer to the excursion over to New lork for the ostensible purpose of attend ing the dedication of the Grant mouunient Whether those who par ticipated in this excursion saw the monument or not is not particularly pertinent to the matter in hand, Whether they did or not, it was nothing short of brazen effrontery to ask the taxpayers to pny the bill. And such a bill for such an occa- siou ! Over .:i,iK)il for wines and liquors, and $1,500 for meals and ci gars, with the added item of 187 for breakage ! This item came up through over-exhileratiou of a legis' lator whoso exuberance could Hud expression in no other way. J low suno men could bring themselves to present this bill, which iu its com pleteness footed up over 7,000, to the State Legislature and the Gov eiiior fur approval is a mystery. They did it. though, aud members had the hardihood to stand up and defend it. It tiually came to Gover nor Hastings, aud he vetoed it. Now the Semite Committee on Millitary Affairs ciimo together at Harris- burg last Tuesday and sought a way to still the clamors of those who fur nished the material and other neces saries for this remarkable trip. There should bo no such official meeting. Those .vho enjoyed the junket should meet quietly in some secluded spot away from the public gnze and make up the required sum from their own pockets. The darn age to their reputations has already been done, but further public dis ussion of the matter can possibly be avoided in quickly disposing of it iu private. There must be urgent need of a rearrangement of our laws if such action as this on the part of public officials is not a proper matter for consideration by a Grand Jury. Up in Erie county, New York, where members of the Board of Supervis ors organized a similar junket to the metropolis and passed the payment of their expenses through the board, an indictment followed, and the of fenders are now under bail to stand trial, and mind you, they went for the alleged purpose of examining hospitals, as a means of intelligent action iu relation to a public insti tution for the country, which was to be erected. The Hanisburg outfit had no such excuse. The grounds on which the indictment was got were that the supervisors, instcad.of going to where hospital buildings were likely to bo found, went to Coney Island to see the "Coochee Coochee" dancers, thus depriving the county of any legitimate return for the money expended. Glad He Wat at Home. Hon. B. K. Focht is very glad he was not along on that drunken spree to New York. We presume' there is another within a stone's throw of our residence who could kick him self from Middleburgh to Wyoming for going along. Mr. Focht's Satur day Newt says : "The members of the Legislature who attended the dedication of the Grant monument of New York, may have to pay for the lunch they en iovedon that occasion. After the bill presented to the Legislature by the Chairman of the Committee had been cut down over one half, the vetoed it. Caterer Rush, of the Commonwealth Hotel, Har- risburg, would now like to know where ho is to cut his money for the provisions furnished on that occa sion for the follows who ate up strong, and it is reported that he will bring suit against the individu al members who were on the trip. Rut this is one of the troubles we happened to miss we were not with the boys on that occasion, but in Lewisburg. Thanks for plenty to do at home." The Ohio and Iowa Democrats who made the silver question the sole issue of their State campaigns this year are very blue now. The bottom has fallen out of tho silver argument by reason of the further drop in tho price of silver and the further increase iu the prices of farm products and general prosper ity, and now they are left with noth ing to support their doctrines or their platforms. It is sad, but the noonlo who took tho bit in their teeth and adopted tho platform of calamity in opposition to the views of tho wisest men of their party must bear the responsibility of deicut. The first six months of the Mc Kinlev administration is in marked contrast with tho corresponding period of the Cleveland administra tion. Then banks were tumbling, business houses wore putting up their shutters, manufactories clos ing, farm prices falling, railroads go ing into the hands of receivers, men were idle everywhere, and strikes and riots were the order of the day. Now the railroads cannot furnish cars enough to move the crops, the prices are good, and the farmers hunting for more help, mills and factories are reopening, banks are complaining only of a plethora of ready money, and general activity and cheerfulness are resuming. Republican State Convention. The Republican State convention comprising 303 delegates met in Harrisbunr Thursday and nominated James S lieacom, of Westmoreland countv, for States treasurer and Maj. Levi G. MeCauley, for auditor gen eral. The latter had no opposition but the Allegheny county delegates under the leadership of State Senator C. L. Magec, placed tho name cf State Senator John Y. Crawford, of that county, before the convention in opposition to Mr. Boa eom. No active canvass was made i f Vniufnnl'u Imlinlf hmVOVPl. unit ho received but uine votes besides the thirtv-one cast for him by his home delegates.

Judge Ache son has rendered a decision in the United States Circuit Court declar ing the alien tax law unconstitu tional. After reciting the provisions of tho act, the Judge concludes : As the employer is authorized to deduct from the wages of the em ploye the prescribed tax, it is quite clear that the tax is upon tho employe and not upon the employer. The court is here called upon to consider whether these provisions of this act are in conflict with the United States Constitution. The 14th amendment to the Constitution of the United States declares, "nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law.

The bladder was created for one purpose, namely, a receptacle for the urine, mid as such it is not liable to any form of disease except by one of two ways. The first way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from careless local treatment of other diseases. 1IIKK t'Al NK. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kiduevs is the chief cause of bladdur troubles. iSo the womb, like the I bladder, was created for one purposes, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weakness or disease, except in rare cases. It is situated back of and very close to the bladder, there fore any pain, disease or inconveni ence manifested in the kidneys, baek, bladder or urinary passage is often, by mistake, attributed to female weak ness or womb trouble of some sort. The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided. To find out cor rectly, set your urine asida for twenty four hours, a sediuieut or settling Indicates kidney or bladder trouble.
