THE demand of the Massachusetts
Mugwumps, at the recent meeting of
the Massachusetts Reform Club in
Boston, that the Democratic party
nominate Cleveland or sacrifice the
Independent vote, is greeted by the
Democratic press as a piece of subllmo
presumption or sublimated Ignorance.

The present unprecedented business
disturbance and financial depression
in England are largely attributed to
the eflect of the MoKinley tariff by
thoeo who dlscusB the situation. As
an example of this feeling the follow
ing sentiment waa published lu a
recent edition of the London Finan
cial Times :
It is to be hoped that the American
people will tear up the McKInley law,
root and branch, and signs are not
wanting that it will come about. The
Welsh manufacturers have strong
sided champions in Chicago and
elsewhere.
Saloonkeepers will find profit in
? careful perusal of the Bupreme Court
decision sustaining tho law which
maljes them liable to damages when
intoxicated persons to whom they
Jiave sold liquor become Injured while
drunk. The plea that tho injured
person is guilty of contributory neg
llgeuce In voluntarily taking the
liquor is not entertained by tho court,
which replies : "Every drunkard not
only takes liquor voluntarily, but

The Democratic Congress, under
the whip and spur of the Democratic
press, has promised to cut down tho
approi rlatlons at least $100,000,000 nt
this season. Where will the crippling
programme begin? That istheques
tlon that confronts the Democrary. It
already realizes that It is a very
serious question. Several newspapers
that were loudest a few months ago In
denunciation of a so called "Billion
Dollar Congress" nffw admit that this
is a growing country ; that the de
mands upon the public treasury are
necessarily increasing; that the pro
tection of domestic Interests, the care
of the pensioner, the extension of the
postal service, the needs oi the
Agricultural Department, of tho new
navy, and of tho World's Fair, all call
for larger, and not smaller appropria
tions. The Democratic Congress is
advised that this is a great country.
Generous appropriations by Congreis
have not been made In the interests of
the thickly settled and Republican
East, but largely for the Democratic
South and the growing and expanding
states of tho West and of the Pacific
coast. The "Billion Dollar Congress"
was a good enough cry for election
purposes, but it is not too early to
predict that very little of it will be
heard during this session of Congress.
European circles have been some-
whut surprised, if not atartlo'l, by n
current rumor to the eflect that Kaiser
Wllhelm is considering .the advisa
bility of submitting himself to a
thorough examination by an interna
tional medical and surgical commission
in order to summarily suppress the
frequent asset tions in the English, the
French and tho American press that
he is more or less Insane. A more
effective means to secure this end
would be to suppress Boma of the
Kaiser's speeches.

thai' all the night schools shall open at tho
samo hour.
Air. Toomey, of Brownsville, asked tho
board to allow his two children to attond a
town school without payment of tuition
fees. IIo was asked why they could not at
tend tho Brownsville school. Mr. Tuomey
said the teacher there, had abused tho chil
dren. He was then asked if tho mattor
had beon drawn to the attention of tho
School Board. Ho said it had and that
body insisted upon an apology being made
to the teacher. It was decided that Mr.
Toomey's children may attend the town
school upon payment of the regular tui
tion foos nh&rged non-resident?.
It was recently decided to build a large

Director R. A. Davooport upon the death
of his wife wore road, adopted and ordored

Tue subject of devising a plan by which
tho borough assessors may bo enabled to
mako mora complete assessments was die
cussed at length. Tho matter will receive
attention In tho noar future. Said a di
rector after tho mooting : "I see tho Potts
ville Miners' Journal has raised tho point
that county seat properties aio assessed ai
one-hair their value, whilo Shenandoah
assessments are mado at but ono-quartor.
The Journal urgoi the assessors to give
special attention to Shenandoah. I say
'Anion I' and let the assessors start on the
properties in town owned by Pottsville
puttier. Let thorn find out why it is that
no mention is mado on the borough dupli
cate of the properties owned by tbo 1'. &
R C. & I. Co. "With the properties of the
company on Emorick, "Whito, Bowers and
oilier streets asstssod tho assessors will be
making somo advance towards tho reform
aked for by tho Journal."

years we hayo been soiling Dr. King's Now
Discovory for Consumption, Dr. King's
New Llfo Pills, liucklon's Arnica Salve
and Uloctrio Bitters, and hayo never
handled remedies that soil as well, or that
have given such unirorsal satisfaction.
We do not hesitate to guarantee them
every tlmo, and wo stand ready to refund
tho purchase price, if satisfactory results u"o
not follow their use. These remcdios have
won thoir groat popularity purely on their
merits. O. II. Hagenbucb, Druggist.
