There is a popular impression tina

There is popular impression that
the moon exerts marked influence on
vegetation, and the weather seers are
largely guided by the changes of that
luminary Mr.. Coffin, in his recent book,
''Our New Way round the World, :"
thus writes of its effects on man within
the tropics. He is in India 1.-The moon
is at full. pouring its rays from the zenith
straight down upon Us, with a power
which is almost as unbearable as that of
the sun at midday. There is no heat in
its rays. but they have great effect upon
the brain. The blood rushes to the head,
and there Is a sense Of fulness and pres
sure which, although not attended by
acute pain, is exceedingly unpleasant
We find it necessary to keep our UNI
brellas spread at midnight as well as mid
day. 1t is dangerous to sleep in the
moonlight in the tropics. In this coun-
try we can see new beauty In those words
of the Psalmist, expressive of God S
care for those who love him: The sun
shall not smite thee by day nor the moon
by night.

Invisible Virtues.
The Milwaukee Ne,os pours forth tn,
following dulcet strain

The Milwaukee Ne,os Dours forth the
following dulcet strain:
in the North the Democracy are
rapidly regaining the courage lost by the
result of the Presidential election, and 9
complete sweep of the great State OF
Pennsylvania and Ohio by the Democrat
ic candidates in the approaching guber-
material election is result regarded as at
least probable. It is to be re.
membered. also, that the Republican
party is not essentially party of dead
and effete issues, while the Democratic
party has the honesty and the states
manship to occupy we'll defined and
progressive position on the living ques-
lions of the day; that while the Repub-
lican leaders have been claiming immu-
nifty from censure on the ground of the
past results of the Republican policy, the
Democracy have been graphing with the
evils of the time, and advancing to a po-
sition consistent with the demands of the
day."
If the Democratic party has the hon
csty and craftsmanship to occupy we'll
defined and progressive position on the
living questions of the day" we should
like to know why the party hitherty has
failed to occupy such position. There
is no use in keeping Democratic ''hon-
esty'A and Craftsmanship under lock
like Government bond. We know, of
course, that they must be very precious
to the Democratic party; but We cannot
see what good it will do the party to have
honesty aud craftsmanship unless some
use is make of them.
We trust, now that the courage lost
by the result of the Presidential election
is returning, that the Democratic party
will deem it safe to bring out some
honesty and craftsmanship" so that,
when they graphic with ''the evils of the
times" the said evils will not thresh the
Democratic courage and the Demo-
cratic ''gizzard' out so etfectually that
nine months must elapse before they
begin to regain their courage again.

Our FINANCIAL CoNDITIoN-The


Our FINANCIAL The
Commercial Herald, of Montreal, in a
candid and sensible article on the Unit
ed States Finances, regards our position
in this respect as much more hopeful
than democratic journals In this county
delight to represent it. 1t says:
La spite of all adverse predictions, the
finances of the United States are rapidly
approaching that point which will place
greenbacks at par. 1t is true that the
value of thete notes at this moment is
less than it has been, on one or two occa-
sioas, since the war, aud that the price
of gold in the parlance of Wall street is
strong an steady; bnt the true test of the
advance of the mass of paper towards tire
nominal value in gold is to be found in
the steadp increase of the credit of the
government as measured by the price
of its bonds, because whenever the Sc
crrities reach such point and promise
such steadiness as to permit of new
lean at a reasonable rate of interest, the
notes may be Withdrawn from circulation
by process of funding.

To CLEAR A Room OF MOSQUITOES. =
A writer in Southern paper furnishes
the following as a successful method of
clearing a room from the pests that are
so troublesome at this season of the year.
He says it works like charm: Take
of gum camphor piece about one-third
the size of an egg, and evaporate it by
placing it in tin vessel, holding It over
lamp or candle, take care that it does
not ignite. The smoke will soon fill the
room and expel the mosquitoes. One
night | was terribly annoyed by them,
when [ thought of and tried the above,
after which [ never saw or heard of them
that night, and the next morning there
was not one to be found IN the room,
though the window had been left open
all night

RAILROAD PROJECT Milwaukee is
agitating the project of building a rail-
road from that city to some point on the
Fox river, perhaps Green Bay, through
the counties of Milwaukee, Calumet and
Brown. If Milwaukee had built such
road years ago, her population might
now have been two or three times what
it is, but it's never too late to mend.
The route would save eighty miles in
distance between Green Bay and Chicago.
She has now three rival parallel roads
to the Mississippi. and has left the
whole rich northern portion of the State
to shift for itself, or to send its immense
trade through rival city in neighbor-
ing State.

This statement is no doubt approx
mately correct as to the relative proper
tionment but incorrect as to number. Its
estimate is based on the law of 23d May,
1880, by which it was enacted that the
number of Representatives in Congress
should be 233, and that the representa-
tive population of that year and there
after, should be divided by 233, and the
uuotient should be the ratio of represen-
tation Of the several States. This ratio,
thus ascertained under the census of
1850 was I26, 1913 and upon this basis
233 Representatives were chosen. The
ratio was changed however, by the law
of March 4, 1862, allowing representa-
ton to certain large fractions, increasing
the number of representatives from 233
to 24l. This number was subsequently
increased by the admission of Nevada
and Nebraska, with one representative
each, to 243. Whether the law of ap-
portionment be changed or not, and it is
not likely that it will be, for the East
controls enough Western doughfaces to
prevent any inimical legislation, the
West will have majority of votes hence
forth and for all tina to come They
will use them magnanimously and Judi
ciously, we have no doubt, but if they
did not use them to equalize discrimina-
tive legislation and discriminative against
themselves, it would be the strongest use
of power known to history.

CONSUMPTION CAN BE CI!RED.-An
Eastern medical periodical gives an
interesting account of the complete
cure of Mrs. Amos Stauffer, of Manor,
Lancaster county, Pa, of hereditary
Consumption. Her parents and several
brothers and sisters died of this terri
Bile disease. Mrs. Stauf1er was herself
reduced to mere skeleton; the pulse
at 40; her breathing painfully diff
cult; expectorations very excessive;
diarrhea worse than chronic, and her
condition so hopeless that at confer
7ence of the old and skillfuI physicians
she was pronounced incurable. At
this stage of the disease, DR. S. B. Hart
man, of Millersville, Lancaster county,
Pa, physician of fourteen years stand
ing, prescribed MISHLER'S HERB
BfTTERS. The patient soon expert
enced a pleasing invigorating sensa-
tion throughout her system, and en-
eoul aged by her friends to continue
under DIR. IIartman's treatment, she
did so, gradually improving under
increased doses according to her
strength, until she entirely recovered.
Mrs. Stauffer is still living, in the full
enjoyment of perfect health. c. B.

County (Pa.,) National Bank, substan-

HAVING last week spoken unfavorablv
of the action of the Town Council. in
refusing the right of way to Mr. Geo
Myers. for q side-track to his ware
house. it has been intimated to US by
one Of the members, that our remarks
were probably dictated by Mr.. Myers.
or we lrad been employed to labor for
tile furtherance of his personal interest
Not a bit of it, gentlemen! The sur
prisine action of the Council and the
interest we feel in the general welfare
and prosperity of the town, actuated lis
in what we said. We are under no
possible obligation to Mr.. Myers, as he
belongs to the Councils school of poll
tics and don't even take our paper
hence we have no particular interest
in his individual business, only so far
as it affects the general interest, public
good and the welfare of good citizen,
as we regard him.
The mere objection of the Council to
the location of the warehouse; and
that a side-track would obstruct some
yet unborn sidewalk, will not, We
think, be regarded by our people as a
justification ofits action. 1t is alleged
| that the granting of said right of way
would inf1ict an injury on property
East of the warehouse. Well, suppose
it does, if the operations of well-man-
| aged warehouse will conduce to the
general interest. let us initiate the es-
tablished practice of other towns. pay
the trifling damage by taxation, and to
this no good citizen will object.
We are of the opinion that the Rail
road street will sooner or later be devo.
ted almost exclusively to side-tracks
warehouses and general Railroad busi
ness. The. irrepressible growth of til,
country and increase of business viii
demand this. ~
For our part, we would never plac,
any distractions in the way of ware
houses and manufacturing enterprises
for without these. and their prosperity
! towns must ever remain in obscurit,
and comparative poverty.
