With the approach of tho Republi can county convention, tho desire for harmony anions the factions becomes more pronounced. PxiKslDKNT McKinlky did not take the cover off the silver service after all. He merely lifted it a little so that some of the bad odor might escape. Senator JJoiks Pknrosk has an nounced himself as unreservedly in favor of the renomiuatlou of Mc Kinley for President. Tho junior Senator is wise in his choice. In Pennsylvania the kicking Re publicans are called "Insurgents." In Ohio, where a factional fight similar to the one in Pennsylvania is being carried on, the recalcitrants are de nominated "rattlesnakes." New York's Republican legislature has taxed franchises. Missouri's Democratic legislature dodged the issue. It is not difficult to decide which of the two parties are honestly in favor of anti-trust legislation. TALK about Kilkenny cats or a Kentucky vendetta, why they ore not in it in comparison with the fight that is now going on betweeu the Democratic factions in this county They will be absorbing one another by July 10th, the date of tho county convention. Br the adoption of a "cowardly evasive platform" last year tho Dem ocratic candidate for District At torney was elected by a majority of 5,000. Should the Democrats this year repudiate silver entirely, what may we expect? The Republican can didates should pray for the adoption of the Chicago platform by the Dem ocratic convention. The Bryan and free silver wing of the Democratic party in Maryland are going to hold u meeting next week, so "that a Democratic delega tion may be sent from Maryland to the next Democratic National con vention favorable to the reaffirmation of the Chicago platform and the re nomination of Bryan." The Sllver- ites are working to the same end in this county, Members of the Demo cratic Standing Committee are being set up quietly with, a view to the election of state delegates next year favorable to the 1G to 1 idea. The Herald is the only Shenan doah paper listed in the "Newspaper Blue Book for 1809." It is the part of the business of that concern to know which paper in each city and town contains the most matter of interest to the largest number of critical readerB, and the fact that the Herald is selected is only additional evidence that this journal leuds its competi tors in all respects. The publishers of the Blue Book say : "All the dailies of importance from the larger cities and the best paper fromeach'of the smaller cities and towns is what the Newspaper Blue Book contains. Every paper has been seleoted solely on its merits by comparison with its com petitors by expert readers." The Mahanoy City Record is right when it declares that the time has arrived for some official declaration as to when and under what circum stances Inquests should be held. The law seems to make it plain, but there is complaint that many deputy cor oners have abused the law and held inquests when they Were wholly un necessary. The deputy coroners, too, have run up against several mine in spectors who haye deolared inquests in certain cases unnecessary, and the Taxpayers' Association is now after Coroner Bieiler's deputies. There fore, the question should be settled once for all, in order that this con stant' friction mav be avoided. Thus comments the Pottsvilfo Chronicle. "A Little Spark May j Make Much Work."

Wnshington.Juno 3. Tho announce mont nt Madrid in tho speech from the throno to tho cortes thnt Sna n had ceded tho Caroline island's nnd Palaos and tho Mariannes was received with surprise here. Tho cession marks tho relinquishment of Spanish pos sessions In tho far oast save tho Island of Fernando Po and dependen cies on the African coast. The des patch containing tho news was shown to the Gorman ombassy ofllciuls, but Ambassador von Hollebon sala that he had no comments to make. Ho had received no information, he said, as to the cession, and tho Gorman foreign offlco had not communicated the facts to him. Reports havo been current from timo to timo that Spain waB figuring ou a transfer of sovereignty of tho Caro lines and that Germany had mado overtures looking to their acquisition In the extension of hor colonial pos sessions. Sovereignty over tho Caro lines was formally adjudged by the pope In 1885 to bo In Spain, and was admitted by Gormany and Great Brl tain. This was after a rather prolonged dispute, opened up by Germany raising her flag over the Island of Yap. Por tugal first ncqulred the Carolina islands but Spain soon wrested tho group from her, but until the eighties had paid little attention to tho islands. Gorman Interests in the Carolines aro relatively extensive, and have beon fostered by a provision of tho pope s award, ho as arbitrator nwarding sovereignty to Spain, but reserved to tho German gov ernment special trado facilities. The Marianne Islands, which go with tho Carolines and Palaos In the cession, of courso do not Include Guam, ovor which the American flag now flies. Including Guam, tho Mariannes, tho Cnrolincs nnd Palaos havo a total area of almost 1,000 English square miles, nnd a combined population of about 45,000 people. Over all this, save tho American acquired Island of Guam, the German flag is to be hoisted. While this government has been un advised of tho cession of these groups, tho colonial policy of Emperor Will iam has led tho administration to ex pect that tho German government would loso no opportunity to stretch out its domain in the Pacific. Admin istration officials do not regard the movement as requiring any special cognizance on the part of tho United States, for, according to one member of tho cabinet, this government hn3 acquired all that It wants in that quar ter. While Guam Is In tho midst ot the other Islands of tho Ladronos that aro ceded, that fact is giving po oopcorn hero, and this government is not dlB posod to raise any question upon even further extension of German sover eignty in the section of tho globe should Germany follow up tho present cession with other efforts. Most of tho islands in the neighborhood in the past have been infested with pirates, tho very name ot tho Ladronea indicating tho former hotbed of piracy, and there, aro not a few islands yet where the black flag is common. State department officials havo been awaro for soma timo that the German government was In treaty negotiation with Spain for tho cession of tho Isl ands referred to. Tho fact that this has been accomplished, however, had not Deon communicated to the author Itles and tbo announcement from Mad rid, therefore, was nows to them.
