We don't want Moore township
girl for luug tester. At a singing
school up there the other night young
man was Dragging about the strength
OF his lungs and invited q young woman
to hit him in the breast. She said she
was left-handed; had been washing
that day and was tired, and didn't feel
very active, but at hIs urgent request
she let go at HIM. When bis friends
went to pick him up he said be thought
be would die easier lying down. He lost
all recollection of having any lungs, but
the young woman consoled him BY ad-
hitting that she didn't hit him as hard
as she might have done, because che
rather liked him.

THE average sum paid for Federal
bonds was sixty-five or seventy cents in
currency. When we pay these bonds
at par and in gold alone, the profits of
the holders are simply enormous, and
it is not strange that they rave about
the revolt of the people. They talk
tearfully, too, of the gliefs of Europe
an bondholders, but it is their own
greed for gold that is agonized.

TnE Age says contraction does n

THE Age says contraction does not

The government robs the debtor of the
means of paying, and still compels him

Me quantity of money in circulation is
diminished, and it is this rapid depre-
tiation that makes rent rolls less and
land decline rapidly In market value.

other cause than this for these insult

While it is nv no means certain
that erery cloud has silver lining,
il is true that the result of the elec
tion in Pennsylvania has that re-
lieving feature - TO Democrats.
Cameron carries that state, it is
true, and We will again have Il ma
chine state government for the next
four years. The Governor and
Legislature will simply do or not do
as the CamerOns dictaIe-nu more,
40 less. Everybody knows and is
prepare for that. In fact we of
Pennsyl' ania are pretty well used
to being governed by the Cameron
ring, and IL other states or the ma
tion would present no more promis-
ing picture, the outlook would be
gloomy eno"gh indeed.
Happy for Pennsylvania as we'll
as for the whole country. the DemD-
Gratis have IL majority III the present
House of our national legislature,
and will have a majority also in the
Senate. after March 4th, 1879. Oar
majority i'm the House may have
been a little reduced by the recent
elections, but il is still large enough
for all practical purposes, and will
even be increased after all contested
seats shall have been settled. while
it will he the first time that Demo-
Gratis have. a majority in the Senate.
for the last eighteen years.
Thus it will be seen at glance
that the Democrats will soon have
The legislation Of the country in
their hands and will Sd shape il as
to give reli-f to the people who have
30 long suffered under Radical mis-
rule. LaDor will ag;un have at
least a decent reward and the vari-
GUS industrial pursuits of the c0un-
try will he f0sterpd and encouraged
and good times will once more bless
the land.
Courage, the cloud has a silver

THE CONTEST FOR JUDGE.

feared that slander and calumny
which were so freely used against
the Judge during the campaign,

this would indeed have been a calami-
ty to the district. But the sober iudg-
ment of the people decided that an
