associations in this county, the provisions OF

of Schuylkill, relative to the same may be OF
interest Among other things it is designed
to prevent building and loan associations from
imposing exorbitapt fines. 1t provides thai
the authority given, clauses aud 6 Of section
81 of the building association act of April %,

of the par Or stock value of the shares upon
which said loans are granted the assessments
for non payment of stock dues shall not ex-

The Spanish officials and newspapers in
New York are highly indignant because the
Cuban flag was permitted to float from the
City Hall, when the remains of General Ag-
uiera, Vice President of the Cuban Repub-
lie were lying in state in the Governors room.
We arc not aware that anybody cares about
SPANS indignation. The cruelty and brutal
ity displayed by that wretched power in its
treatment Of Cuban affairs has excited the
wrath and contempt Of uuciviised nations.
Now that Cuba is rapidly passing from the
control of Spain, we can see no good reason
why the people of the United States should
not sympathize with the struggling Republic,
whose fortunes have not been aided by this
country under Don Hamilton Fish's admin

Double loaded editorials, replete with Vi
olent deuuncations Of the decisions of the
Electoral Commission Of Hayes and Of the Re.
publican party, are prevalent. But we find
10 them no illusions TO the repeated attempts
by Tildens agents to bribe Republican cleo
tors, to buy up Returning Boards, or to the
cipher despatches nassing between Tilden' $
residence in New York and his purchasing
agents in Oregon. Record Of the Tines.
Certainly not, for the good and sufficien,
reason that no such attempts at bribery were
ma le, nor were such dispatches sent to Til
den, as has been satisfactorily proved. W.
know, however that Wells offered to sell tht
Louisiana vote to the Democrats, and it Il
pretty well determined that he didn't turn j
over to the Republicans for nothing. $500, ,oO'
is about the price of his patriotism.

There are a few honest Republicans who
are deaf to the crack Of the party whip, and
who dare to speak the truth even when it
condemns their own party. Mr.. Purman, u
member Of Congress from Florida, in man
" and eloquent speech On the 8oor Of the
House, few days since, stated in distinct and
unmistaksble language that Florida had vO-
ted for Mr.. Tlden and that the electoral votes
Of the State should be given to him. Prof.
Seebe and Mr. Pierce, both of Massachusetts
firmly refused to ooncede Louisiana to Hayes
aud voted with the Democrats against that
enormty. IL win now be in order for the
organs to abuse and villiiy these three gentle
meu, as has been done in every case when a
Republican Member or Senator has allowed
his patriotism to rise above his party, and we
may expect to hear those amiable and honest
gentlemen called traitors and "weak-kneed'
politicians by all the postmasters and Other
Office holders who can control space in news
paper But their abuse will not convince the
people that Messrs. Purman, Seelye and
Pierce are anything but patriotic and honor.
able men, more anxious TO do right thar
to gain partisan approval.

One of your thick-and-thin organs like the
