S. Quay, Attest: Jrar. It. Hkx, Chairman. U. Asnanws, Secretaries. Till: old party leaders and newspapers of Tlilliamspmt havo notycticcovered from tho leition of the Prohibition candidate as Mayor ot that city. senator Quay is now right "in it," mid .nopoic to stay there. We mention tho fact only to impress it on f.oino of our con temporarily who have, so far failed to grasp iVo idej. Tim spring elections in Pennsylvania merely prove that next fall tho Keystone statu will roll up an enormous majority for the Itenublican candidate for President of 1ho United States. Tun now woman is in evidenco everywhere just now. .Tho last one to come prominently to tho front figured in a divorce suit in Chicago, and tho judge decided she must pay her husband $20 a montli alimony. He is mid to bo lcconclled to his fate. Tun recent elections throughout tho state hnw increased ltepubllcnn majorities, which moves u to suggest that our Democratic riends should next full get ill out of tho wet i.ud make Pennsylvania unanimously J!c puhlican, instead of wasting so much money printing millions of tickets for the few thousand lotesthey cast. Tin: bull'alo, which 20 years ago nuinbeicd millions, have almost disappeared from the 'ountry, so uithlcssly weiu they slaughtered, null their pieservation has become a matter of (niacin to people inteicstcd in natural history. The held in tho Yellowstone National Park hasdwindled toless than fifty, and Profc.-si.r Langlcv urges Congress to take action looking to the picsei'Mltlou of this distiuethcly American animal.

Peace the boroughs of Shenandoah and Mahailoy City aie legally ontitlul to is still agitating tho minds of the voters of these Inn ton ns, and it will probably i oiiliuue to ' atopic of much di.scussion until it is defi nitely settled by a judicial decision. Strictly pcnkiug. it is not a new question, lccausc it has been r.ii-ed befure in this town, and runny nt that time who were of the opinion .native were entitled to but two Justices -i.tvo cliaiiKed their minds in this respect materially. As to the legally of the election of Mchm. lones and Coyle, of Mahauoy City, and Ijiwlor and Caidln, of town, we have nothing to say ; that will prukibly be passed ipqn in due time when those gentlemen ipply to tlic Sccrctaiy of State for cominis .ions. It Is the manner in which their elec tion was obtained and the unfair udvantage ought to bo gained that we desire to deal with from a disinterested point of view. The Mftlinnoy City liccunl asserts and the facts in the case seem to bear out the allega tionthat to Senator Coyle is due the credit, if such it may be called, of the attempted roup to deprive these two totuisof all their .lutlces of tlio Peace but two, and they the two who who were voted for by citizens of all the words concurrently Wo stated that the facts seem to bear out this statement. Our renders will remember that one of the ' Squire of Mahauoy City incurred the bril liant Senator's enmity by.hls refusal to wear t he Millar he attempted to put upon him ns a meriilsir of the Hoard of Henlth of that bor- mgli. Kvon that usually all-powerful wwnuii. "senatorial com tusy," failed in its tuirpn. Tliat the two Mahanoy City adherents of tlieiuttor could have been nominated for the nlHcos they professed to seek, vory few people will acknowledge ; that they could liave Imjcii elected, in an oicn and squaro right, is not to lw lioliovod for a niomout by anyone who knows anything of tho fcoling fxistiiig in thattowti. The method employed whether It lie succussful or not, is a specimen of the politics which that ornament of tho Pennsylvania Seuuto is accustomed to, and it will not increase tho estimation his con diluents have already formed. Tho political trickery displayed, and tho unfair advantago sought to bo cained by star chamber methods, cannot bo condemned too N itli the gruit mil" of Vmcrlraii fair play i one of the ciirililiiil anil they lull hardly allow such lis conduct even on the part of a Stale Senator to pais without putting the seal of tlieir disapproval upon it when tlic proper time cotnos, and that time will not be far distant. The conrensiiii of public opinion in Shen andoah Is not complimentary to the originator of tho Miliomo, mid tliu fact that CliailesW. Dcngler, nun of the justices elided, on Tuesday, is n relativo of the Bciillenimi who defeated Senator Coylc's tandidate for dele sate to tho stalo convention last summer, affords a partial explanation of the matter so far as this town Is concerned. Die feeling in Mnlmnoy City is mid to lie very bitter, and is expressed by tho IJeconl of that town as follows: "Tho ttlck by which tho borough justice were foisted upon tlio pcoplo was ono which Hhould cause nny self-respecting man to hang his head in shame. Tho fact that they glory in it is n sufficient lndox to tlio Moss's character. There are some people to whom no public rights nro worthy of respect and no institu tions Mcred." If the law was known to exist, it would havo been more honorable to have called attention to it previous to tho election, and to havo then entered tlic contest for the nomination than to endeavor to get it by a trick like this. That kind of politics will not profit those who indulge in it. Tlio Mucin cry Saved Hi Life. Mr. Q. Caillouctle, Druggist, Ileavcrsvlilc, 111., says: "To Dr. King's New Discovery 1 owe ray life.

Already flvo of tho thirteen general appropriation bills havo been sent to tho senate tho nrmy, Mili tary nendomy, urgent deficiency, diplo matic nud consular and agricultural. Tho District of Columbia bill has in it sovcral disputed items, but will, it Is believed, causo lltllo trouble when it is ngnln brought into the house. Tho Indinn bill is now under consideration, and tho legis lative, oxecutivo and judicial, the noxt in order, is on tlio calondar. Tho navnl and postoillco bills will bo brought In this week. When theso nro disposed of but tlireo will remain the suudry civil, gen ernl deficiency nnd fortifications, Tlio houso lenders nro still hopeful that somo way can be found to secure action on tho tariff bill In tho seuute, but beyond that thero appears to bo llttlo chnnco for general legislation, except perhaps n bank ruptcy and, possibly, a Pacific railroad bill Consequently they nro hurrying along tlio appropriation bills and shaping things for an early adjournment, mr. Cannon, chairman of tho appropriations committee, stated to an Associated Press reporter today that slno dlo adjournment should bo reached by tho middle of May. Tho probabilities aro that tho Cuban question and the tariff bill as affoctod by tho silver substitute will dlvldo tho greater part of tho time of tho senate during tho present wook. Thoro will be an effort to day by Scnntor Dubois, chairman of tho conimitteo on public lands, to secure unnn lmous consont to lay tho Cuban resolu tion nsido to permit tho consideration of the bill extending tho limitation ot tho tlmo In which suits may bo brought to se curo tho restoration of certain granted lands to tho government.
