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.

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

bought and took a 50 cent bottlo ;
and now lean say that I am entirely
cured. I cannot be thankful enough

that the c-oiiiiiiImkIoii churired with the

to the plan will be reached. Tho orig

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.

seeii.s to be iio doubt now that Major

James S. Keai'orn, of ViVslinoi eland,
will be the nominees for auditor gen

other places where there Is opposition
to lleucom. The Yolk county candl

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

permanent chairman. The resolutions

cut this down to $7,000. Then Gover

This bill la reduced by two crrdlts, one
of $1!W for liquors returned and the
other $32 for stoves. Mr. Itusa la de

thinks that the members of the If gls

He 1h particularly Incensed over the
action of a member of the house who
Jumped into some of his expensive

It is said r bat Mr. Kuss may proceed

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."
