FREELAND, PA., JUNE 4, 1891. J . The Doylestown Democrat strikes right out from the shoulder and says that the "pension bureau, from the j best evidence the public can get, is rotten from top to bottom, and unless some steps be taken to correct its abuses, and that right soon, they will bo laid bare by the next Congress. The pension system is rapidly be coming a stench in tho public nostrils. Profuse waste and profligacy always lead to extravagance." ALTHOUGH contradictory reports are always current regarding Secretary Blaine's health, it is doubtful if he j could stand the strain of a Presiden tial campaign. This is regretted by Democrats more than Republicans, as j the former recognize in the Plumed Knight a foeman who would add in terest and enthusiasm to the contest. The only other available candidate of j the Grand Old Party is Benjamin H., j and it will be child's play for the | Democrats to knock Grandfather's Hat out of the world of politics. As usual, the Legislature was ex ! ceedingly industrious in its last days,! passing a great number of bills that were neglected for months. It is | pretty hard on the Governor to have j so much work piled upon him in a j few hours, but it is reasonably certain that if there has been any careless or j crooked work done in this hurried fash ion it will be corrected by the Executive J veto. It is a great comfort to know | that there is this sure check back of j a Legislature trying to crowd a month's work into 21 hours.— ledger. \ PAUPERISM has steadily increased in the United States during the last j thirty years, and so has "protection." | Pauperism has steadily decreased in j Great Britain for the last thirty years, although labor in that country is un- ' protected. There were 50 paupers j to the 1000 in Great Britain in 1801. There are only 20 to the 1000 now. It is possible that the increase of pau perism in the United States, under the protective policy, and its deerenso in Great Britain, under tho free trade policy, have nothing to do with tariffs; • but it will be admitted on every hand that the facts are puzzling.— Record, "WHEN Philadelphia's now city treas urer stepped into his office on Mon day he found the money drawers empty, every cent having been swept, away by rotten banks and the gang of Republican plunderers who have j been robbing the State and city for j years. Thousands of workingmen ! had orders for small amounts, but they would have had to wait perhaps for weeks if it were not for their gen I erous-hearted friend,Wm.M. Singerly, j of the Record , who advanced the city treasurer $50,000 to pay the laborers' claims, with orders to draw upon him j until every workingman is paid the money due him. That is a sample of Philadelphia Republicanism and Phila delphia Democracy. TnE new registration law, which goes into effect at once, will do a little [ in the way of correcting certain elec- j tion evils, especially in the large citii s where "repeaters" do their voting early and often. The new act re | quires that the assessor, instead of j using old lists, shall make an entirely new registration, based upon visits! from house to house, and that he shall set down not only the name and occupation of the voter, place of resi dence, name of employer and name of \ person with whom he is boarding, if any, but also the address of known ! residents of the election division who have furnished information as to the j qualification of the voter. The names j are to be arranged by streets, so that | the persons assessed from a particu j lor house may be readily found on the list. The assessors' and registers' j lists in some places have heretofore ' been very bad, and laid the founda- I tion for election frauds. The Company Store Law. This bill was passed finally in the last hours of the Legislature, hut so far it j has been impossible to procure a copy of j the law as passed. It is thought that some alterations Were made in the Senate. Representative Jeffrey is unable to state whether or not the bill was j amended by the Senate, as he left j Harrisburg immediately after adjourn- I ment. Several letters asking for infor mation on this subject were sent to the I capital, but no definite knowledge as to ! its present bearing could bo ascertained. James L. Knapp, Harrisburg eorrespon- I dent of the Philadelphia Iteaml, fur nishes tire TBIIIUNE with the provisions of the bill as introduced by Representa tive Farrell and passed by the House. ! Unless changed in the Senate it is a very good measure. It prohibits mining and j manufacturing corporations or their ofli- ! cers or stockholders from engaging ill : business for the sale of goods or merchan dise other than that mined or manu factured by the company.

Address I GOLDEN SPECIFIC CO., 185 Rare St., Cincinnati, O. IT would require superhuman com prehension for any one to form an idea of how much money was spent by the last Republican Congress. The actual appropriations come near $Ol for every hour of the 1890 years A. D. which had expired before the footings of the ex pense of two years of Radicalism in tho United States were made up. If you are a Republican, multiply 1890 liy 305, the product by 24, and divide this latter product into $1,008,000,000 so that you can get for yourself some idea of what Republicanism means when it is ex pressed in figures.— Catamiiqua llecovd. . THE Ashley Observer has a humorist | for an editor, but that does not prevent him from dropping chunks of logic ' among his jokes. Last week he fell into ; an inquisitive mood over fools, and said to his readers: If the people put aj saddle on their backs and invite the j monopolist to get on and ride and he ' 1 does not do it, he is a fool. If tfie monopolist puts a saddle on the people's back and then attempts to get on and j ride, and the people do not kick, they ! are fools. Which fool are you? , "IPOTT SERVICE.-A Jersey bred Bull.
