THE FIXES WERE REMITTED. Tho I).inrtmcyit of Agriculture took n vpry son-oblo viow of the re cent prosecutions of mortiumts in this county for violations of the puiv; food law. Tho liiw is inter -perteil to be n corrective for n buses and not. a means of evsoeuting in nocent offenders. As tho merchants had bought their goods with no in tention to violate tho provisions of tho net, and were selling in good faith what they supposed to bo pure articles, tho fines were remit tod. This action is wise and just, and will probably have the desired oft'oi't, in nvikinir tho merchants cs oreiMo preater care as Ui tho quality of their goods. They should in nil cases have a written guaronteo for thoir own protection in tho future. This caution emenates from the Sec rotary himself and those who are wise and disposed to obey the law and nt the siime time protect them selves w ill heed its salutary warn ing. Neither is their any hardship in it for the wholesale dealer, for he can, in cases whore he is not tho manufacturer afford himself u like protection by requiring the same kind of a guaronteo. Tho consumer . will in the end be benefitted, for lie will know that lie receives just what ho intends to buy, and if he exercises caution in observing that the word compound, or one of s'milar import, does not appear on the package he will know that the goods aro pure, and if ho finds they aro not it will bo a simple matter to find out the why. ATTEND THE PRIMARIES. Tho Republican primaries for the election of delegates to the county convention will be held to-morrow, Saturday Aug. 2stu. There should be a full attendance in every town ship, and men elected who will ad vocate a careful and prudent course iu the convention. It is by particu lar attention to the foundations- that the building becomes safe, and t-o with tho party. There should bo unanimity of sentiment, which en sures harmony of action, to bring ubjut the ln'.st results, and to put tho pirty in lino for the coming campaigns which is of greater im parlance, than the triumph of clique or faction. The Republicans of this county and district have obtained solid advantai?ds which should be in ide permanent, and every honora bio mentis taken to demonstrate to the people'uud voters that the party is worthy of support because it con serves the be.-t interests of the tax payers. Tho olii que.-tior.s whi.ih ui.i-lol tli two great par ties are dis- apjw.aHii. The prosperity which is now advancing will overwhelm t:iein, and polities will beeom.i, we trust, more a question of the charac ter of tho man and his fitness for of fice. If this sentiment could become thoroughly instilled in the minds of voters, especially ns to candidates for local offices, our nffairs would soon be improved and Jieople would find that greater and more substan tial benefits would be derived than from the election of mi unfit man simply because ho wore a party label, and shouted a pHrty slogan. THE FARM. I'.dio-il by .1. W. PiihiH-r, MiimmeTin, Pn , to wli.ni ii'hlr.'s.i Jill (-'iiinuuni'latloiib inretl'liil l'nr t-lu di'tmrlmi'llt. r'Kirni.iziNu With C'lovkh. E. Ii. Beck, Sellershurg, hid., asks wheth er clover, peas, etc., are of much value used as a manure befoie they mature. "Is it the clover roots or stems that does the fertilizing ?" Trot. I. P. Roberts told us nt an in stitute in New Vork last winter of growing nuta on a piece of land the summer before. Then' they sowed after the oats, on separate pieces, crimson and mammoih and common re 1 clover. Three months and four days from sowing the crimson clover was found by analysis to have gath ered 1 50 pounds of nitrogen jieriiere, tho mammoth clover t-PI, the com mon red 103 if I got tho figures correct, and I was very careful to try to. This was in the tops and m its both. Hur.dy if clover c.vn oollect such an amottut of nitrogen in about throe months from sowing, it may be of great value even where wo cannot let the crop mature. Wise men think that- if crimson cl ver makes a good fall growth and dies during tho winter it has still been of considerable value to them. And still for general tarm purposes, wiiero rod clover is grown, I think it usually wisest to so arrange, if one can, that the crop can mature ; that is, grow two full seasons. Tho clover gets nitrogen from tho air by m ans of the little seeds, ns some c ill them, or the roots. It uses this nitrogen the whole plant, H-oot and top. Both are valuable as a fertili zer. And the clover pumps up fer tility from the subsoil to grow toot aid top also. When th,e. plant is young the tops aro most- important. It hasn't made much root growth. As I remember, Professor Roberts found 125 pounds of tho 158 of nitro gen in the tops and 31 in the roots. But crimson clover has a fibrous root. Red clover on our land, after two years' growth, I think will show fully 116 worth of plant food p:ir acre, nt market prices, iu tho roots, or about the same as is found in two tons of clover hay. A Remarktblo Curt of Chronic Diirrhoea. In 18(52, when I served my coun try as a private in Company A, ICTth Pennsylvania Volunteers, I con tracted chronic diarrhoea. It has given me a great deal of trouble ever since. I have tried a dozen different medicines and several prominent doctors without nny per manent relief. Not long ago a friend sent mo n sample bottlo of Cham berlain 'a Colio, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy, and after that I bought and took a 50 cent bottlo ; and now lean say that I am entirely cured. I cannot be thankful enough to yon for this great Remedy, and recommend it to all suffering veter ans. If iu doubt write me. Yours gratefully, IIknky STKisncuoKii, Al lentown, I'a.

All porta of quptl-nm have arisen, and until theae are nettled no d'-llnlte iinderatandinK as to the plan will be reached. Tho orig inal Idea mm to force the work so that the new butliliiitf would be ready for th" next Tension of the lerialalure. This new aeeirip to be Impossible, ov-dns to the uneertlllnt y ri.irnrdln;? the plat'.. At the outset the oomniisfion authorized the creation of a board of exports eon ?l;'ir.fT of three disinterested arehltectH, who examined the 30 deslirns Biibmltttd by architects from nil pnrtp of the country, and under the terma of the competition recommended to the com mb.fdon el'ht plimp In tlie order of merit, l'p to this time ii-i public an nouncement of the plan approved by the experts has been made, but In some inysiei ions way a picture of tie? decK'tl and the Elound Hour plan of the drawing which the experts regard as the be.' of the elirbt lion been pub lished. Of course, this deslun la Htlll subject to the npprovul of the com mission, and It Is not certain that it will be adopted. One of the objections urged nfjnlnst It In that the chambers In the senate and house will not have the outsldu Unlit and air. and that they will he surrounded by committee and other rooms and corridors, so that the Interior chambers will be uncomfort able and unsanitary. The contemplated plan enibraceg the colonial renaissance style of architecture, and, many of the features of the old oapltol. For the present the name of the architect whose plan Is resarded as the best by the ex perts In unknown. When the plana were submitted each was numbered and the. envelopes contulnlnrr the plana bear ing the corresponding number was placed In the cufttody of Judge Hlmon ton, of thla city. Utiill the commission has tnken Dual action nobody will know which one of the SO architects has been auceeasful. The EMporW Preferred lMnn. In the plan approved by the experts ample provision has been mad for both official and public uses. Four el evutortg are to be suitably placed, one for each house and two for the public. Buth Benate and house chambers oc cupy the main floor. They may he lighted from above, If desired. The basement ptory ia nearly or quite above ground, and well Untiled, beneath the basement, or ground tioor, is a aub cellar aranp'ed for storage rooms, on the right of the main entrance la the public reception room of the senate Un the oppoBlteside of the corridor la a similar reception room for the house. There are two reception rooms for ladles. Three gallerlea are provided for each house one for the press, another for the public and a reserve gallery. There is also provision for a restau rant and cafe, with kitchen, storeroom, pantrieB, etc. The restaurant will be convenient to the public- corridor, and have suitable outatde entrances. Under the program directing the competition of the architects the com missioners agree to award the prize to the uuthor of one of the designs se lected by the board of experts, and fur ther agree to neither inspect, consider nor adopt any of the designs not thus selected and presented to them by the board of experts. Whether the commis sion can reject the repoi-t of the ex perts under this provision of the pro gram remains to he Been. There is a story to the efiect that the commis sioners are not pleased with the re poit of the experts, and that there Is a disposition to reject the report and start off on a new scheme for obtain ing a design. All or nearly all of the estimates for the capitol are beyond the appropriation made by the legis lature, and the probability Is that all the plans will be turned down for this reason, although a majority of the commission believe that the appropri ation of 6f-0.(Kil) is liiaulllclrnt for the erection of auch a state house us Penn sylvania ought to have. They argue that when the fee of the architects is deducted, with the Items of prelimina ry cost, the actual balance for uulld Ing purposes will not be more thun 1600,000. and that not even the skele ton of a building can be erected for Ihutaum. They refer to the fact that the legialature gave almoat aa muih to two large educational institutions for two years us was appropriated for the construction of the capitol. At the outset Governor Hastings favored a lurger appropriation, hut when the cru sade against extravagance and prolll gai y in the expenditure of public funds was inaugurated the governor changed front and sent a message to the legis lature. In which he stated that the new building could he erected for $jf0,000. This messuge had Inuch to do with fixing the amount of the appropriation, aa the legislature understood that any laig-T sum would be vetoed by the gov ernor. KepiilOn itu l.eiotel-M (ietlicrlnu. This will be political week In llarrls burg. The meeting of the Republican stale convention on Thursday will bring to the lty the leaders In the party fiom all parts of the state. There seeii.s to be iio doubt now that Major Levi U. McCauley, of Chester, and James S. Keai'orn, of ViVslinoi eland, will be the nominees for auditor gen eral and state treasurer. All talk of opposition seems to have died out, ex cept In Allegheny county, and a few other places where there Is opposition to lleucom. The Yolk county candl dala, H. Huthuway BWndel, will drop out of lh conlect, and his delegates will suppoit lleacom. It is understood that Congressman Micks, of Allouua, will be the temporary chairman of the Convention, and either Henator Pell rose or Senator Mci'arrell, of this city, permanent chairman. The resolutions to bs adopted will endorse the admin istrations of President ilcKlnley and Governor Hastings, arid al3o ihe course of Hcnaturs yuuy and Penrose. There will UkewlHe be some regulations rela tive to the propel ity that has come with the entrance of the lUpul.llcan paily to pjwer at Washington. It Is gossip hie that rlcnator llmdenbuin, Of Wayiw, who withdrew aa a candi date for nudltor general, will be slnud for m- re'nrv of Internal affairs next year. Ptmtor Met'arrell, of this city.

At the lemocrntlc convention In Heading, a wrek after the Republican gathering here, the chief effort will be to unhorse ex-National Chairman Har rlty as a member of the national com mittee fi-om Pennsylvania. Chauniey V, Ulark. James V. Kerr and other patty leaders, who were here a few days iieo, Insist that Harrity shall re tire because he Is out of harmony with the nrcanlttnthm. ItuH'.y's friends spy that It will not be possible for the free silver men or the party to do what they threaten. The monument to be erected on the capitol grounds In honor of the late Major General Ifartrarirt will be erect ed next summer. The model for the casting if now being -made In Paris, and when It Is completed It will tie brought to Philadelphia, where the casting will be made. It will be a bronze equestriRn statue, and will be placed In trout of the new capitol. It Is the Intention of the committee to make the dedication of the monument a pi-at tnldtary demonstration. Ilar trnnft's division will have a reunion at th" same time, and It Is expected that ther - will be an unprecedi ntcd at tendance. T.oirlxliitors' Illtr .Tnnltetlnrr Bill.

After the trip the senate passed a bill making an appropriation of 17,500, but the house cut this down to $7,000. Then Gover nor" Hantlnrs took a hand and cut out whut was left. James Russ, proprie tor of the Commonwealth hotel, this city, was the caterer, and hlfl unpaid bill is V(W,,70, Including 3,026.6O for wines and liquors and $460 for cigars. This bill la reduced by two crrdlts, one of $1!W for liquors returned and the other $32 for stoves. Mr. Itusa la de manding an Immediate settlement, and thinks that the members of the If gls lature who enjoyed what he so gen erously provided should pay the freight. He 1h particularly Incensed over the action of a member of the house who Jumped into some of his expensive glassware dating a moment of exhila ration on the trip and then made a speech against the bill In the house. It is said r bat Mr. Kuss may proceed against Individual mr-mbers for the re covery of his bill. There Is also an other unpaid bill for the trip of the legislature to Philadelphia on the oc casion of the dedication of the Wash ington llionument. Representative Vor hees. of Philadelphia, was chairman of the committee, and he laalpo re ceiving clamorous communications from those who catered to the enjoy ment of the legislators. Colonel Thomas Potter, of Philadel phia, has sent to the adjutant gen eral's department a handsome medal, to be called the "Potter medal," with the requcBt that it be rewurded to the commissioned oitlcer of the National Guaid making the highest score of markmanshlp with the new 38-callber recently adopted by the guard. A new 2t) yard range hus been built on the state grounds at Mt. Gretna, and It Is considered by experts to be even better than the ranges at either Bea Girt or Ceeedmoor. Factory Inspector Campbell la strict ly enforcing the new bakeshop law. He say it will result lu great good, es pecially in the larger cities, and that if the present law Is working any In justice to small bakers they may find the remedy when the legislature meets the next time. For the present, how ever, the law will be enforced, and sanitary regulations will be made com pulsory. A Juuke-t Vor Veterans. Arrangemi ntB ae being made by Adjutant General Stewart for the transportation of the veterans of the Chi kamnueua-Chattanonga campaign to the battlefields of the south under the provisions of the bill passed by the late legislature, making an appropria tion ot $0 000 for this purpose. It Is esyjnnted that about 1,000 veterans are entitled to free transportation, and the adjutant general has set to work to secure their names and addresses. The transportation will be good for any regular train either way, and transportation uaed by any person othei than the person in whose name, and for whose use It was Issued, will rendei the person Improperly using It liable to a fine of $100 and six month's Imprison ment, This is probably the Hrst time In the hffcory of the state that the old soldiers have been given such a Junket P.lg payments are now being made at the state treasury on account of the school appropriation.

What 's the matter with silver', It the predictions of Director Preston of the United Strites Mint about the increase in gold produc tion prove true, the silver cause will have difficulty in getting re cognition by the grent politicnl powcis in l'.ino. linn's "Review" for last week makes radical encouraging remarks on the prospering condition of vari ous sections of the country, the heavy purchases, largo dials in tock, and especially in wheat, and llnally intimates that tho week ha been one of progress not surpassed by the great revival upward rush in 187H. It is now in order for the calamity howlers ond fraud c.iiers to charge that the farmer is now receiving tho reward for his treachery in voting for McKinlcy and refusing to sup port Prvan, (lie farmer's friend, in that the trusts and plutocrats have raised the prices of wheatr-rmd other farm products in order to pay him tor his vote. The deadly parallel could bo drawn vyif h good effect on some of (he free-silver papers which were asseverating last year that, tho only hope cf prosperity lay in the open, ing ot the mints to the free mid un limited coinage of silver, but-which a re now forced to publish columns of matter showing highly satisfac tory and Improving business condi tions and arriving prosperity. Tho growth of protection sonli ment hns been evidenced in ninny ways during the past special session of (.'engross in tho discussion of the tariff bill, but no mora clearly than in tho reception accorded to Senator McRnery upon his arrival in New Orleans after a long fight on tariff principles, in which he stood should er to shoulder with tiio groat pro tection loaders of tho country, Tho July earnings of the railroads of the country show a marked im provement over July of last year or of tho year preceding. This wiil he encouraging to the thousands of railroad men through the country whose attitude in favor of sound money last fall was an extremely important issue of the campaign, 'ind whose votes did much to turn tho title of battle in favor of McKin ly and sound currency. "The evidenco 'accumulates with each day's advices that the long-eon-tinned depression in financial circles lias passed, and thanks to five yoars of forced economy and cessation of speculation, coupled with lo day's abundant harvest at remunerative prices to the agriculturists, a new prosperity is coming t-o tho people." From address of Comptroller KcKels (Dein.) before American Bankers' Association August 18, 1N97. The farmers of tho country havo been tho first to fool the improved conditions of business. Tho pro ducts which they havo had for sale havo steadily risen in valuoall along the line, and the increased volume of money has como directly into their jsickets. "Bradstreot's," in speaking of tho present condition of the American farmer, says: "Tho American agriculturist has had no such opportunity to reap so large a share of the rewards of labor for yoars as is now promised him." "1 have never in tho past wavered in the belief, nor do I now, that in the end we will bo possessed of a banking and currency system so- strong as to make impregnable tho country's credit. It is possible that before the nation's financial struc ture rests upon a foundation firm as the eternal hills, the American peo ple will be culled tipon to pass through the awful experience and loss which would follow in tho wake of unchecked paper and sil vor liatism But ot last, no matter how prolonged the struggle or groat tho sufferings, with the acquiescence of all, tho monetary principles which accord with tho world's business experience financial research and every dictate of common honesty .will they piovnii in complete and enduring triumph."
