They are usually guilty of thai wliloli they charge to others. Ot?R advice to the 81ieuicloli correapou Ceot of the Mahanoy City American, who ever lie may be, is to bother little with the Duron Munchausen of local journalism. You OftuUot change the leopard's spots no more thft yu can convince a prevaricator of the H ti truthfulness of his assertions. TUH at that the Republicans of town "haVe-Wdersed the Citizens ticket appears to hare caused much uneasiness auions our ' Democratic friends, and perhaps they have good reasons for their apparent fears. Defeat eterea them in the face, and every move made upon the political chess-board adds to "their consternation. A ORiiAT many people have the impression that they can send or give libelous iuforma- (Ion to the newspaper press, and that in the eVont of such news being published the sender is not hold responsible. The New Jenssy Editorial Association endorsed the libel bill recently introduced into llio Legis lature of that state, which makes the com municator of such libelous news the respon sible party in the estimation of the law. A lady attended the celebration in Boston on Sunday of the one hundred and sixth an niversary of the birth of Thomas Paino, and listened patiently for an hour to speeches eulogizing his memory and belittling Chris tianity, hut when finally a speaker counseled tho company to teach their children to bo come free thinkers, she arose and quietly but emphatically said : "Mr. President, I should like to say that when I give up my religion and my children, It will be for something very much better than anything you have offered to-day." Then she walked out, and for a full minute there was silence. The total destruction of the old-style but still handsome, commodious and in good con dition State Capitol building at Iliirrisburg Tuesday, involves, of course, the erection of another structure to rtpl.ice it. As has been the case whenever of late years State Capitol buildings, liavo been orected, they- have with out exception beon of tho must costly character, Sumo of them oxtravaganlly so, and such no doubt will bo the case at Harris burg, for although a building equal In size, quality of architecture and finish could bo replaced at a cost of sir or sovon hundred thousand dollars, tho state will bolucky if in ""t6e erection or1Eeriow .tructuro it escapes with a bill four or five times as largo. While the now building should bo handsome and commodious, there will bo n excuse for such needless waste as that entailed upon the state of Now York and of Illinois also in tho oree tion of new state buildings. DuniNO the campaign in the First Lcgisla- tivo district, last year, it was charged that Representative Grifliths had pledged himself, in the event of his election, to introduce a bill in the Legislature providing for the ap pointment of a county detective for this county. Such a bill iias been presented by tho member from this district, and calls for the appointment of such an official in all counties having a population of over 150,000. The concensus of opinion in Schujl kill county is strongly against tho creation of any more offices, merely for the purposo of appeasing the ap petites of hungry place-hunters, at tho oxpensc of tho taxpayers. There is no de mand for a county detective, neither is there the necessity for the creation of this new office as callsd for in Mr. Qriiliths' bill, and wo are of the opinion that tho representa tives from this county will find the senti ment of our people almost unanimously against it if tbey make Inquiry among their constituents. Luserne county lias had an experience in this respect, and from which other counties might profit. They havo a county detective, and nowhero in tho state is lawlessness more rampant and rob beries and murders inore frequent. The newspapers there have made' a demand fur the abolishment of tho office, and in doing so they voice tho sentiments of their readers. If we may judge from the bills al ready Introduced into tho Legislature, a large number of which provide for the creation of new offices, the present session will be an ex pensive one for the state. If Representative Qriiliths has political favors to confer, ho should not redeem those obligations at the ex pense of the taxpayers of the county. "WILL IT BE VETOED t President Cleveland has just twenty-seven full days before him in which to round out his career. It is believed by many persons who have given their attention to the subject of his personal aims and ambitions that Mr. Cleveland is anxious to retire from office in a blaze of glory ; that he depends on the arbi tration and Alaska treaties to place him in history among the great Presidents of the Union ; that he wishes to lie remembered as the inaugurator of "peace with honor" as the leading principle of American diplomacy. The ambition, if he eutertalni it, is hon orable enough. Nobody will Sad fault with him. But Mr. Cleveland can utilise the next twenty-seven days very easily in crowning himself and his Administration with infamy, and unless he is grossly libeled by a Washing ton correspondent of a hostile newspaper he Is contemplating an utlicial aet that will cer tainly place his name beside those of Bu chanan and Johnson rather than Washing ton and Lincoln. It is reported that he intends to veto the bill fur the restriction of lmmigraUou that has just passed the I louse and is likely to pass the Senate. He is represented as char- i-i i.,i II '..l...vl. .,,.! MVIfiriBlUjf ' L. B 1 II II u I. II II i v"uJwu and "altogether distasteful," and it is added that it cannot he passed over his veto. Of course, it is possible that Mr. Cleveland's attitude may be misrepresented, and it is to be hoped that such is the case. But the President who obstructs legislation designed to protect the lives of his fellow-citizeus . from destruction and the morals and the future of his country from ruin will indeed" go down to posterity as the representative of "perfidy and dishonor."

HOW TO FIND OUT. Fill a bottle or common water glass with urine and let It stand twenty-four hours ; a sediment or settling indicates a diseased con dition of tho kidneys. When urine stsins linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in tho back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.

If made pure, rich, red and vital ised by Hood's Sarsaparilla, it carries health Instead of disease, and repairs the v i i. nervous system as nothing else can do.

California has been most fittingly termed the "Italy of America." All the delicious balm, the cloudless sky, and the rich ver dure of tho great European poninsula are duplicated in this sunny land of the l'acifln. Here nature basks in the sunshinoof her own beauty; and here she has established her own sanitarium, where eternal spring in spires everlasting youth. With the snow mantled peaks of the Sierras upon tho one hand, the calm IWfic with itisoft breeze upon the other, and a veritablo paradise of flowers, fruits and plants between, man can find and needs no lovelier land. To visit such a country is a privilego, a blessing. The Pennsylvania Eallroad Company, recognlsine tho need of a more oomfortable and pleasant way of crossing tho continent, inaugurated a series of annual tours to Cali fornia, running a through train of Pullman palate cars from Now York to the lciBc Coast, and stopping nt tlio principal points of interest cn route. The great popularity of these tours demonstrates tho wisdom of th movement. For tho season of 1897 three lours have been arranged to loavo New York, Philadel pUa, and Pittsburg, January 27, February 34, and March 27. The first tour will run diroct to San Diego via St. Louis and the Santa Fo Eoute, and re turn from San Francisco via Salt Lake City, Denver, and Chicago, allewiug five weeks in California. The second tour will run via the Mammoth Cave and Netv Orleans to San Diego, stopping at tho "Crescent City" during tho Mardi Gras Carnival. This tour will return via Salt Lake City, Denver, Omaha, and Chicago, allowing four weeks in California. Tho third tour will run via Cbicago.Donvcr, and Salt Lake City, allowing passengers to ro- turn by rogular trains via dluorent routes within nine months. All of these tours, either going or return ing, will pass through the famous Colorado region, Qieuwood Springs, Leadville aud the Garden of the Gods.
