REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.
7otlie llcpubliean electors of Pennsylvania:
Tuo Republicans of Pennsylvania, by their duly
chosen representatives, will meet in State con
vention Thursday, April 28, 1890, at 10 o'clock
a. in., in the opera house, city of Harrinburg, for
the purpose of nominating two candidates for
rcpresentatlvo at-larKo In Congress and thirty
two candidates for Presidential electors, the
selection of eight delcgates-at-largo to the Re
publican National convention, and for the
ransactlon of such other business as may be
presented.
By order of tho Stato Committee
M. 8. Quay,

Sn.NATf)it CilANtiunt declares that tho field
candidates are as devoted to high protection
as tho favorite. He. intimates that tho manu
facturers' money should bo distributed
among the fielders.
MobT Democrats ami a few Republicans,
says tho Chicago Inter-Ocean, favor protective
measures ns revenue raisers. Most Republi
cans and a few Democrats favor protective
measures liecauso they protect American
industries. They are in favor of a tariff for
protection. This is tho difference between
tho parties.
It has been estimated by careful men that
it costs two dollars and thirty cents every
time a railroad train is stopped and started.
Notwithstanding this heavy expense citizen

Tin: Commissioners of Ilerks county havo
wisely concluded to obey tho mandates of
tho compulsory education law and will
strictly enforce every provision. The reg
istry assessors of the, different election dis
tricts will mako an enumeration of all the

of 8 and 1 1 years, and return the list to tho

Facts and figures nro not wanting to
demonstrate that tho evening paper has a
hold upon the people that no other journal
can obtain. Especially is this tnio of tho

ai l employed in and around the mines. They
' 'want tho latest news when their day's labor
is over, and it is to the afternoon papers they
turn to obtain tho latest happenings. Adver

Incidentally, it may bo added that tho

tiovKU.voit Hastings has sot apart April
10th and 21th as Arbor Days, and tliu subject
of tree planting is one of much importance.
Thero is scarcely any work from which such
enormous hcucilts would eventually accrue
to the country, that could bo achieved with
so trilling an outlay of time and money. A
single hour devoted to tho planting of a treo
or trees would, if devoted to such a purpose
by evory farmer of tho land, in tho eourso of
forty or fifty years result in tho addition of
millions of dollars of value in tho timber
alone, not to speak of tho (increased value of
the property on which thfc planting Is done,
tho comfort its owner wyiild derive frum the
shade, or the fruit, undjiho beneficial cfiects
upon' tho climate. (Arbor days will bo
observed by tho children of the public
schools. If the young are taught the nluo
of tree planting only' beneficent results can
follow. No one has over planted a tieo who
has not felt an interest in its growth and
development, and thero is not a boy or a girl
in the schools of Shenandoah who assists in
planting a treo on the 10th or tho 21th of
April who will not In after yeais recur to tho
fact r.nd wutcli it growth with a feeling of
