The announcement is ninilo on what soems excellent authority that ex - Attorney - General Kirkrtntriok will be a candidate for the nomina tion to Congress in the Eighth dis trict. Hia many friends in Pike will rejoice at this conclusion, and redouble thoir efforts to see that he succeeds. He was defeated in 1894 by the narrow mnjority of 197 in a district which is usually good for 0,000 Domocratio majority. This was certainly very flattering, not only to the Judgo, but to tho efforts of his party, and we feel sure that if he is a- candidate again this year he will command all the votes of his former supporters and many others who would like to see this district represented by a man with his abil ity and force of character. The Judge is a ready speaker, a cogent reosonor, and a man of wide and varied attainment's. He would make a live representative for the Eighth District, and we think he can, as he should bo, elected. PIKO " ON THE CONSTITU TION. To those who have even casually noted the decisions of our State and Federal courts, it has been apparent for some time that they were sling ing the law around in a reckless "inanner, and that sooner or later they would be brought to book. This has now happened, but we trust the Judges will not take the matter too much to heart and reverse them selves too suddenly. Most of them are well advanced in years and pre sumably cannot bear groat reverses" with the same equinimity as younger men. But then thoy ought to know better, or at least before rendering decisions they should con sult some one well versed in " con stitutionals." In' the Gazette of Wednesday April 8 Piko " in a two column letter with his usual co gency, " demonstrates that the United States Supreme court really does not understand the constitution. It has had the effrontery to affirm a decision of a state court deciding that a law passed by a state forbid ding the export of game is constitu tional. It evinced its imbecility by accepting the argument of a v paid attorney of an association " to that effect and hence has brought itself into contumely. Now this is all wrong. Piko says it will knock the stuffing out of our boast that our unity as a nation is in the sisterhood of states. This is really too bad, and we will listen with anxiety for the dull thud when the unity bent almost if not quite to breaking " finully snaps Piko quotes article 4 Boo. 2 of the constitution. " The citizens of each Sta te shall be entitled to all privi elges and immunities of citizens in the several Sates." In the Federa list which is a collection or essays written in favor of the constitution in 1788 by such men as Jay, Madison and Hamilton the latter says that the security to liberty, and to pro perty to be derived from the adop tion of the proposed constitution consists chiefly in the express guar anty of a Republican form of gover- ment to euch state. Piko goes on the theory that game is public property and belongs to tho mnn who get it, by " legitimate not necessarily legal means." We confess that this distinction is too fine spun for our limited compre hension. Webster says legitimate " is in accordance with established law, " but then probably his mind was not subtle enough to discern be tweon the two terms. The Un ited State Supreme court has been " off " for some time, and it was highly proper that it should be admonished. Under the very section above quoted are two decisions one in 18 How. 71 18r.5 and one In 94 U. B. 391 1878 which say " public property In the State can be reservedfor the citizens of the State exclusively " Piko says, " there are people in sections of this country who would appear never to be satisfied until they surround themselves with a high board fence, whitewashed." This is highly humorous. To it wo fully agree, and not to detract from its mirth provoking quality wo say the community would be far bettor off if some people were so en closed and set to work. Piko tolls us how successful he hasboon in killing game for his family, and boosts, modestly of course, that he has ' never bought or sold any, ex cept on rare occasions as a personal or friendly favor.1' On whose land does he hunt and fish, and does he have permission to do so, or does the pursuit of game draw with it the inherent right to trespass ad libitum. After this wonderful ex position of the real meaning and in tent of the constitution, our courts should pull themselves togethor.and rectify their mistaken interpreta tion of its provisions. If a vacancy should occur we give notice now that our voice will be raised in favor of the appointment of Judge Piko to the position. WE RISE TO ENQUIRE. For some time we have been keep ing an ear close to the ground ex pecting to hear a whisper as to the views of one half of our Democra tic representation in Congress from this State on silver and the tariff. So far as we can learn no reporter as yet has succeeded in obtaining the coveted interview, or, if he has, the profundity of the wisdom, or the comprcnensiveness or view nas so pamlyzod his pen that he cannot transmit the " views " to paper, Tho question may arise as to wheth er a Domocratio Congressman from this district should have any other view than the singlo one of how to get there. During the memorable Democratic conference held here in 1894 it was broadly hinted by some of the Northampton conferees that the kind of money a would-be-Congressman believed in was immatori- al, only so it was money, and the kind of tariff did not matter much only so it protected him. It was not so much a tariff for revenue they demanded, but an actual re- venuo, and they clamored until it is said a "plank " of the proper size was furnished. If this version Is true, and it has never been denied, then the aforesaid conferees must have pocketed the" plank, " for it was not visiblo in the platform. This view is sustained from the fact that reports indicate they have been "sawing wood" down thore in Northampton ever since that time, It is further alleged that Mr. Mutch- lor has now a goodly pile in his back yard and that he is still at it. But this is a digression. What we started out to say is, has the half of our Domocratio representation in Congress any views concealed in his inmost consciousness on the great and vital questions of the tariff and the currency. We hope the repre sentatives of the Domocratio party in Pennsylvania have postive con victions on these subjects, and that thoy will not attempt such politi cal straddles as to compel the aban donuient of the ordinary garments worn by men only. The Milford correspondent of the Port Jervis Gazette is an original genius, and a natural writer of par agraphs. Every week a letter ap pears in that paper from " lovely Milford " mode up almost exclusive ly of items taken from the Diwpat-ch and the week before Press, At least about all there is in the " budget of interesting news from Pike" of any moment bears the visible ear marks of those two papers. The Gazette correspondent is to be con gratulated at least on the good taste displayed as a plagiarist. superintendent bawyer gives no tice in another column of a meet ing of School Directors May 5 to elect a County Superintendent of Schools. We have not heard any other name mentioned for the posi tion than the present incumbent, and he will be reelected. So far as we know his administration of the office has given satisfaction, and while he may have in some few instances al lowed his kindness of heart to pre vail over his better judgement in granting certificates, yet as a whole his aim has been to elevate the standard in the County, and we shall be pleased to see him enter on a new term of office. He should re ceive the heorty co-operation of parents, and teachers sn all his ef forts to advance the cause of edu cation. A recent circular issued by Hatch and Foote, bankers, of Wall street. New York, shows that the differ ence between the values of thirty- four active and prominont stocks in April 1806, and for 1895 is from three to fifteen conts less this year than lost. Not one on the list is up to last year's value. D. L. & W. is 15 conts less, and N. Y. Central loss. If the report that the Junior Sen ator suggested the names of the del egates to the National Republican convention from this district is true, as is stated, Dr. Walton of Mon- roe.had the good sense to gracefully get out of the way without the aid of a big Quay boot. The Republican delegates return ing from Eoston are inclined to the opinion that Kirkpotrick will again be their nominee for (Jongress in this district. Having como within two hundred votes at the last elec tion, it is loudly boasted by our op ponents that lie can lie elected. Whatever may lie their hopes, they are based it seems to us on a poor foundation. The same apathy will not characterize the Democrats this Year as in 1894 and if an acceptable candidate is named, the Judge will not be in sight this year. Monroe Democrat.

In recognition of valuable service to hi native country and to all the world, Prlnoe Lndwlg of tlavnrla ha created Professor Roentgen of Wnrabnrg baron. A little more than month ago the Dame of Professor Roentgen waa only known in a few exolnaive scientific, cir cle, mainly for iome speculative papers on nnemicai subject. Today It is popu lar throughout the civilised world. And yet the world will never know mnch of the year of endlest toll and patient research which preceded th phenomenal discovery which ha brought lame and no dnnbt fortune to thia Ba varian savant. The new that the pro foasor bad found a way of photograph ing the invisible struck the old world like a lightning flash, and America waa also atartled, notwithstanding her rapid strides in mechanical invention! and oientifio discoveries. Of the private life of the Inventor of the X ray little I known, a the pro fessor live a secluded life, being present only at important social gathering of hi students. He might be called a book- PHOFES90R ROENTOKN. worm, and hi townsmen and most inti mate friends are most surprised at bit sudden elevation and the distinction shown him by royalty and scholars. 1 learn from these that Baron Roent gen ba always been a tireless experi m enter, and finally (his enemies say by mere chance) be learned one of the on discovered wonders of Datnre. He is ad mired by scientists of all countries, bnt to the unscientific multitudes in the fa therland and elsewhere it seems inex plioable that we should be enabled to photograph in total darkness, and that we should be able to photograph through walls of wood or solid and dpaqno bodies is little sort of a miracle. Baron Roentgen was born in 1845 In Zurich, Switzerland, and until hi twenty-fifth year studied in the Zurich nni versity, where he graduated and received his M. D. diploma. After a brief practice in Straabnrg, he was appointed professor of chemistry in the Strasbnrg university. Since 1873 he has been professor at Hohenheim, Giessen and Worzbnrg. It Is said that he will devote all hi energies in fnture to the perfection of his discovery. It will be remembered that Kaiser Wilhelm decorated the professor with the Order of the Royal Crown a few weeks ago.

Wheu rubbed briskly with the1 hand, hi body wculd give off small particles very cloeel- resembling brown sand.

Dr. Menger conducted a series of microscopical examination, and not only succeeded in detecting the parasite, but has made several photographs of It.

The particles taken from the body ltiok like common sand, are dark brown in color, and are barely visible to the linked eye. When placed In acid, the particles fonjii like, seidlitz powders, and they can be seen under the micro scope giving off enrbonio ga. Acida also make the particles transparent, and they easily crumble into very fine pow der. The parasito is incased in a shell, or rather two shells.

WHAT CATHODE MEANS. A Word That ths X Bars Have) Brought Into Common I'M. Let us first see what we mean by the term cathode. If we should break the tiny filament of an Edison incandescent lamp at the middle of the glowing loop the light would go out. If, now, we connect the two ends of the broken fila ment to the poles of a battery of a great many thousand vol taio cells, such as are commonly used to ring house bells, we should be able to light the lamp again, not by incandescence, but by a feeble glow which pervades the whole bulb. The ends of the broken filament would glow, and the glow at on? end of the filament would be different in appear ance from that of the other. The bro ken filament, by means of which the electrical energy enters the bulb, is called the anode, and the filament, by means of which, in ordinary language, it leaves the bulb, is called the cathode. Now, the great peculiarity of the cathode rays is this they teem to be independent of the position of the anode, and they stream out from the cathode like the beam of a searchlight striking the walls of the inclosing' ves sel.

Vi'hen calling on an invalid friend the other day, Miss Ellen Terry set an ex ample which, it is to be hoped, less graceful women will hardly attempt to follow. Assuring her friend, who stood in the upper hallway, that she waa per fectly able to "see herself down," this charming expert in gymnastics put one knee over the stair railway and slid like a rocket into the hall below. Then it took her but a moment to reassume her trim appearance and fly out with a gay adieu to the friend who stood watch ing her.
