A very scandalous story is being told in
Harrisburg to the effect that last winter an
old man named ClendeniD, was made cantor
of the State Library" with salary of 5000,
and that instead of securing this amount,
which was paid out of the State Treasury
for his Office, he only got 1925, the balance
having been retained as toll" by State Lii
brarian Sullivan S. Child, who secured the
place for him and drew the money on his
warrant. Chief Clerk of the Senate Coch-
ran, we believe, is one of the disbursing
officers of this salary, and perhaps he can
tell us whether or not Child drew this mon
ey, and if so, quo ioaranto.-LancaSter In

If the Philadelphia Times would let up
for while in its fulsome praises of Grant it
would be great relief to the public. Its
readers we fancy are mainly intelligent
people, but the Times doesn't seem to think
so when it says, and not for the first time ::
"After sixteen years of the most exacting
and exhausting responsibilities, he goes to
seek the rest he so much needs" The fact of
the matter is,that there never was more in
dolent, self-indulgent official than the late
President. Does the Times fancy its readers
have forgotten Long Branch and the count
less junketings of Grant which SO frequently
took him from Washington during his term
of Officer The idea of making Grant self.
sacrificing martyr to duty ia most huge and
stupendous joke.

The case Of Thomas Duffy, Molly Ma
guire, who was jointly indicted as an access
sorry with Hugh M'Gehan, James Boyle,
james Roarity and James Carroll, for the
murder of Benjamin F. Yost, the Tamaqua
policeman, was disposed of by the Supreme
Court on Monday, that tribunal affirming the
action of the lower Court in convicting
Duffy. There were over fifty assignments of
error in the case, nearly all of which were
covered by the Supreme Court in the opin-
ions in the Molly Mcguire cases disposed Of
on the first day of the present term. One OF
the assignments impeached the credibility Of
James Kerrigan's testimony-he having
been one of the Molly Mcguire murderers.
The Supreme Court AYERS that his testimony
was matter for the jury which tried Duffy's
case

Extensive forest fires have prevailed of
late in Canada, northern New York, Vermont
and New Hampshire. These fires have not
only destroyed vast quantities of timber, but
also dwellings, causing much trouble and loss
to the people. An entire village was burned
in New York. Near Scranton in this State,
the fires are burning fercely and have already
destroyed an immense amount Of timber.
These destructive eonAagrations generally oc-
cur in the Fall, when the forests are filled
with dead leaves and dry wood, but rarely, il
ever, are known in the Spring. No estimate
of the loss can be made, in fact it is hardly
known how much property has been destroyed

Hayes did not forget Chamberlain and to
prove it offered him the Office of Solicitor of
the Treasury, last week. Chamberlain would
not accept it-could maize more money else
where-and Hayes is presumably disconso-
late. The Philadelphia Times will please
furnish an editorial to demonstrate beyond
doubt that Hayes was actuated by SIN
cere desire, &C., and that the people, when
they get to see the matter in the proper
light, owe him deep debt of gratitude, &c

The State Craftsmanship.

In supporting Captain McClelland for
Chairman of the State Central Committee,
which position he filled last year under many
difficulties calculated to embarrass and re-
strain him, the Pittsburg Post makes the fol-
lowing sensible suggestion "Both General
McCandless and Mr.. Myers, of Harrisburg,
having declined being candidates for Chair
man of the Democratic State Committee, we
hope the coming Convention will select a
Chairman solely with regard to his capacity
as an organizer. 1t is not an honorary sim
ecure, as many suppose, but post of work,
drudgery and responsb ility Our policy in
this State Of changing the Chairman at
every Convention, and according the posi-
ton to some distinguished or ambitious gen.
tleman, as compliment or to further his in
dividual schemes, is a mistake. When we
get passably good Chairman, we should
keep him that he may become better quail
fed by experience. At the end of his first
campaign, he only knows what he should
have been thorough in at its commencement.
If he is fit for the place every years work
will make him more effective, until he rusts
or grows indolent, and then of course he
should be superseded"

The Baltimore Sun says; ut is really Gu
rious to notice sometimes what sort of men
think themselves fit, and are thought by
others good enough, to be legislators and
law giyers for this State" We wonder what
the Sun would have to say of the Legislature
of this State, as evidenced by the record du-
ring the past winter. There are times when
the English language, copious as it is, lacks
words sufficiently strong to express opinions

Hon. S. S. Cox, who has just returned

spread notion that Hayes policy is SO salts

HENRY P. Ross, President Judge

The Burlington Ha,okeye tells of a solitary
Ohio man who demanded, in husky voice,
at the office window in the railway station
"Tik't." "Where to?" asked the unruffled
monopolist behind the window. "Nywhere!
Anywhere!' was the frenzied response.
Anywhere Clean through Clean acrost!
To Burglary, or Prooshy, or the Danube, or
Diffendorfer, or any place. Anywhere out
of an ungrateful ountry, that coldly turns
its back upon its deserving children. Any
where out of America And he bowed his
head and wept. He was the only man in
Ohio that didn't get an office.

their faith by their works and donate
to the minister a sufficient amount
of their wealth to assist him i'm his
future field OF labor for time and
also show him that their professions
OF friendship were not idle words, but
real, true and loyal. Unfortunately
the chosen time was worry unpropi-
tious and the rain and storm interfered
with many who were sadly disap-
pointed by being unable to attend.
and yet the lightning flashes and
storm without were only represen-
tation of tho sadness which sur
