Ktioknoy, doscrilniif; tho part taken in tho bat tle of Minisink by tho Joraeynipn. A map accompanies tho piniphlot which shows tho location and gen eral contour of tho locality of tho fight. We visited the spot in July 1879 and tho mnp bears out very clearly our recollection of the aspect of tho.country, and would give any one an excellent idea of tho sur roun .lings. This accompanied by tho description brings to mind quite vividly the sad and stirring ovont which transpired there over a cent ury ago, and which brought sadness and desolation to so mouy homos. Tho poem is good, ond tho notes are of excellent historical value. We wonder, however, that Brother Stickney was not more careful as to typographical errors in a work of this character. On tho whole it is very croditable, and as containing matters of historical interest will awaken a new zeal among thoso who are curious as to the early history of the valley. FOR CUBA LIBRE. The Cuban struggle seems to have been overshadowed by tho Greek war, but reports from that unhappy island are that many women and children are being starved to death by the methods of General Weyler. That the situation is extremely har rowing there can be no doubt . Ruin and devastation blights Cuba, and she will be long years in recovering from tho terrible struggle she is making for independence. Before the close of this century there should be an end of Spanish cruelty nnd Turkish dominion, and tho civilized and Christian nations should unite in suppressing both. The people are tired of the diplomacy which aims only at the aggrandizement of a na tion by enlarging her territory while totully disregarding the claims of liberty and Christianity. Such may be statesmanship in one sense but not in tho broadest und best sense of the word, and the masses will see that leaders whose yiows are thus contracted are deposed from power. THE WAR IN GREECE. The powers will now, it is ro ported intervene, and stop tho war between Greece and Turkey. What haa been gained by ullowing the conflict to progress thus far can hardly be conjectured. There has been considerable loss of life and it is demonstrated that plucky as are the Greeks the Turks are numeri cally too strong for them to cojie with. IVrhnps the time is nit yet ripe to dismember Turkey, or per haps tho powers nre not in :i p:isi ticfn to ngree on a division ntnoii!! themselves if the spoils AY would like to see (Ireecn maintain 1: r posi tion and be able to drive "tit Iter enemy. Klie has the symp-ilhy of this ration at all events in Iter heroin struggle for the dlvanee ment of the en use of eiviliz i' i in, and though her efforts may be b i!ted by t'irt selflsliniMS of semi-ba t liaiiiins aided by the grasping tliplotmcy of F.ngltind yet she has- proven b r e'ititn ton position in advatiee of tie nations which am powerful enough to bold in rheek her philanthropic nnd Christian spirit.

An old farmer used to say that ruts and freezing and thawing cost, him a now wagon every five years. Very few people reali-zo what rough roads cost them. Of course it is only n bolt to-day, a tire tomorrow, a wheel sprung next week or tin oxlc warped out of shape at' some other time, but these things come, somo tintea over-lapping liko shingles on a roof. They nro put down to wear and teor and in a way accepted os the inevitable simply becaus ' roads have always been bad and one scarcely has a right to expect any thing else. But the difference in the lasting qualities of a wagon on a thoroughly good road nntl an ex tremely bad one would surprise the owner of such a vehicle were ho aWe to keep track of the exact figures in the two conditions.

A Mil which Iihh hfen suKfsted of naming tlx banks will ly no menus be satin factory to the people, because this would have a tendency to roncetration, which in too much the case under pres ent conditions. The passage of the Hamilton rnad bill on second reading In the house by a Rood majoitty shows the strength the supporters of this measure have, and tliut it Is certain to become a law as !,ir as the house In concerned is alrendy assured. This bill provoked more wrnnplltny than any that has come before this body In years. Kvery section was attacked, and an effort made to amend In puc-h a way as to make the bill of no value whatever, but thene were vflted down", ami with com para tl vet y few chant's the bill was paPS'-d. Feveral members who were so bitter osuitiFt this bill have been antagonistic to a number that have come before the house this ses sion, and have Just awakened to the realisation that they have moasut cs t!vy nie.very anxious to have enacted into laws, and thiit their course wi;l ht've a ttnulcticy to Rive tbom no Utile trouble when they come to pas ujon th-ir rncnsuies.

The governor has approved of the new railroad bill which n-ciuiren cor porations to renort to thti burau of railroads. This Is a measure of vv-ry preat import ance. It requires all rail roads, canals, telegraph and telephone companies ib'liif? business In or partly In Pennsylvania, or whether foreign corporations owning, U asing or Cfri trolllrif? railroads In the common wealth, to leport to this deparlmen of fhe state. This new law brings the I.laltlmore nnd Ohio, the New York Central anil Hudson I liver railroads and the New Jersey Central under the control of the secretary of Internal af fairs.

The obnoxious pool racing bill, which licenses pool Helling, and which is an effort 16 transfer the iniquities that i.i fMted New Jersey for several years to this Mate, has passed the senate, and the members of that body who favored I Its passage are some v. h.it concerned as to how they are to explain to their! constituents their reasons for aiding! in its being put through. It is behigj pushed along by Its friends In the ; housH, hut if the tamper of the. house continues as has be.n characteristic j .during the session the bill is destined to meet with overwhelming defeat. It would be a disgraee to the state of j Pennsylvania to h.ive such a lnw I placed uoon the statute. All the j friends of morality and la. and ord -i j should protest earnestly against 1' s paging. An Kxecllent Measure Ieteated. A very excellent and Important bill mH with d. t recently, and surely it mistake in the opponents of this measure. This was Introduced by Mr. Baldwin, t.f Ifetawaie, who champion ed Its pa.sssKe ably und foicibly. The; bill provides that alt policies of life in- j sut.inee shall contain in plain flgun s ; the guaranl-ed amounts ot tiie ea:-h j valut; of e.i h policy ut the end of each j jeav, and that the policy bhail heermici a raid up policy ftr thu amouut that I the res- rve would purchase on th laj se of. the thud future premium; and It further provides that upon any anniversary of a peiuy, or within 30 unys thereafter, the holders shad have the right to demand and receive the amount of the reserve in cash. This measure, had it btcoine'a law. would hae confined insurance companies to the payment of certain sums at the end of each year in the event of a lapse of any policy, and prevented ir- buiHiue tiKciua riom misleading policy h.'Uli i their eBtima!e of the cash i ar In the e of ri pre tniultti'd a I n:-:--n;o if The -t ile : : . ili; hon !y e tie bill h: pi, a! ever till:' bill.

( t w as handled In a most able manner. Ablo Women Advocate. The superior arguments put forth by a delegation report -ntlng the Wom an's Sufirnye association of Pennsyl vania, who held a meeting recently in the hall of the house of representatives. and the excellent impression they made will no doubt be gieatly In their favor respecting the leg is,1 at ion they desire. The bill they are specially Interested in relates to the descent and distribu tion of estates of intestates. The bill is now in the hands of the judiciary general committee, w hich saw (it to negative the measure. It has not been acted upon by the senate. The pies ence cf these ladies, armed with such able argument in favor of their bill made a very strong Impression on the minds of the members. Their efforts will be repaid, as there is a very strong sentiment developing that their de mands should be heeded. Their lec turer on th: subject of woman's suff rage undoubtedly greatly Impressed the members present with the justice of what they are striving for. and which, once extended to them, as the claim, will have a tendency to uplift the race to a higher plane of morality and Intelligence. 1 heir meeting was made the more Interesting owing to the presence of a choir of young Indian women from the Carlisle Indian school. who sang with excellent effect several very choh-e Feief-trCns.
