THH principal tiling to li doif In deal
ing with the Pacific railroad matter is to
gat back as innch as possible of the vast
sums that certain bandits have made mil
of the property at the expense of tho govern
ment. "The value of a reputable newspaper
should not be overlooked," says an Eastern
School Superintendent, "In the hinds uf a
judicious teacher, it is an educational factor
which doe not receive the attention It de
serves." This means that current as well as
ancient history should be taught in the
publio schools ; but it does not include the
later-day sensational species of journalism,
such as eminatos from Goal street to the dis
gust of all self-respecting moral citizens.
Our I'ottsville contemporary the Daily Re
publican, announces that "the war is on,"
and in the same article states that the
Martiu-llar.ee combine will enter the contest
for the Republican nomination for Governor
next year with Hon. John NVanamaker as
their candidate. From this it is Inferred
these people have abandoned their previously
announced intentions of presenting Mr.
Wanamakor's name to tho next state con
vention as a candidate for State Treasurer.
The Combine dies hard, but if we mistake
not the temper of the Republican votors of
the state they will surely meet their political
death in the approaching contest. The con
test in the next state convention will over
shadow even the spirited fight that marked
the Senatorial coullict.
Haii. and good morrow to the public spir
ited women of Cranford, N. J. ! At least
hail and guod morrow to sixty-six of them
and may their tribe Increase I As the Vil
lage Improvement Association of Cranford
they have banded themselves together and
are working some great and needed re
forms in municipal affairs. Among other
things they have put in sure er-sful operation
a system of garbage removal ; they have
stopped the littering of the Btreets with
waste paper by putting boxes in the street
for its collection and compelling their use;
they have laid out a park and planted it
with flowers, and are by no means weary
of well doing. During the present year
tbey propose to build a railway station and
library building and install a streetsprinklitig
p'ant. It Is to bo hoped that tho men of
(Yi.nl'ord are not v glecting the babies.
The movement of our esteemed friends
the missionaries to fend a shipload of corn to
Bombay to bo distributed among the famine
sufferers of India is to bo commended. It
will cost $145,000 to transport this corn to
Bombay, which does not take into account
the expense of collecting aud distributing
tho same ; but this is a trifio which should
not be considered. There is plenty of corn
in this country. Editors out west are accept
ing it from their subscribers who have no
money. In the West also those who have no
money to buy coal are burning their com for
fuel. We do not hear that Her Majesty
Queen of Great Britain and Ireland aud
Empross of India has yet been moved with
molting charity for her ttarving pariahs, but
our good example may not be lost on her. Iu
the mean timo let our charitable organiza
tions abate none of their vigilance in seeking
out and succoring as many of our own
hungry people as possible.
The Schuylkill Traction Company, under
the management of Mr. E. Vf. Ash, makes
the very gratifying showing of a surplus of
$15,801.22, after paying all expenses for the
year 1806, and Mr. Ash is deserving of tho
commendation expressed at tho stockholders
meeting. When he assumed charge of tho
road some three years ago it was in a general
condition of topsy-turvy, as" it had previously
been run upon tho go-as-you-pleaso plan,
Mr. Ash's railroad experience, however, soon
brought order out of chaos, and with tho
limited means at his command set to work
to make a road, which was built to sell, fit
for public ute. While ho has not been able
to carry out all his ideas, the service has been
improved in many ways, and it is to Le
hoped the directors will spend the year's
surpUs for the betterment of its equipment
for the further accommodation of a publio
whieh has responded so liberally to the ef
forts tliuB far made for its comfort and con
venience. Wis take the following from Postal Laws of

Democrats llnve n Lively Time Over the
Minority Candidates.
1'Htt.AHKi piua, Jan. 14. The Itopubll-
oan convention to nominate four candi
dates for polios magistrates, which was
held yesterday In Industrial Hall, was ex
tremely quiet, because of the fact that the
niitl-adinliilstratloiilstshad decided not to
make a contest for any nomination. The
ticket previously agreed upon was named,
the successful candidates being: Horatio
I). Hackett, Robert K. Henderson, Dtivhl
S. Scott and Robert J. Moore.
The Democratic magisterial convention
was held in the Academy of Music Its
result was n standoff between the Hnrrlty
and antt-IIarrlty fnotlons of the party,
each being successful in lar.'ig a candi
date. The nominees are Charles I'. Don
nelly and John H. Keenan.
From start to finish everything was con
tusion and dlsorder.nndat times it seemed
as though a general fight among the dele
gates was imtnlnout. The convention at
no time was under the control of Its chair
man, and the most trilling incident was
tulHclent to bring the 1M0 and more dele
gates to their feet and turn the conven
tion lntoa howling mob. At one point in
the proceedings a row In which Congress
man JIcAleer would probably have been
a participant was prevented by a oool
headed delegate.
The nominations', both Hopubllonn and
Democratic, are equivalent to au election,
the Democrats being the minority magis

X Discussion on Oleomargarine In tho
Lower llody.
Wahiixotox, Jan. 14. After avory dull
dny, devoted topnssluc bills of minor im-
purtanco, tho house plunged into n wunu
controversy over a bill to make oleo
margarine aud other Imitations of dairy
products subject to the lawn of the states
Into whloh they are transported. The
author of the bill, Mr. Grant, of "Vermont,
led the fight for It, and It wus opposed by
the Democrats and several Republicans
on the ground that It would give the
states power to prohibit tho use of suoh
products. The house got into a par
liamentary struggle over tho measure on
account of the determination of Mr. Can
non, of Illinois, to secure mora time for
Its consideration, nnd adjournod leaving
It unfinished. One of tho senate bills
passed was to withdraw from tho supromo
sourt criminal ensos other than capital
and leave jurisdiction over thorn to tho
.court of appeals.
Ihe open session of tho senate yosterday
was much curtailed by an executive so3
slon lusting two hours. After this the
bulanco of the day was given to Mr. Bj
