"A handsome income for an ener-
gotic lady or gentleman: The Ohio
Scale Works of Cincinnati have Just
patented and are now introducing to
the public Handsomely finished Fam
lily Scale, an article that has always
been needed in every household, and
in a communication addressed to the
publishers Of this paper the proprie-
tors ask us to refer them to some rel.
able party, to introduce it for them to
the people of this County. 1t is very
seldom that = new article steps so sud.
denly into universal favor. House
keepers are loud in its praise, it is
always ready, there are no weights to
get lost or to be hunted up, is reliable,
and will not get out of order. The
description of them is handsome
base surmounted by a column 10
which works spiral spring so scien-
tifically adjusted as to weigh anything
up to twelve pounds with perfect
accuracy, on the top of the column is
the platform on which the articles to
be weighed are placed, and they have
an adjustable indicator 50 that you
can take the tare of any vessel you
may use in weighing, giving you the
exact net weight. Housekeepers at
once see their value in weighing fruits,
sugars and other ingredients used in
preserving, cooking etc, or in testing
the weights of purchases to others.
The Scales are made Of Brass, are
highly polished and are finished in a
shlltul manner. They are very at
tractive aud take the eye of every one
who sees them.
1t seems to US that nearly every
family in this county will want one,
and is certainly Il rare opportunity
for some smart and energetic party to
pick up quite nice little income
during the next few months. The
Company has agents in other counties
who are easily making from $500 TO
5000 per day selling them, and We
would recommend parties in need of
employment to drop the Ohio Scale
Works, No. 125 and 127 Central Ave,
Cincinnati, o., Postal Card and all
information etc, will be cheerfully
given them by mentioning this paper.

Special to the REPUBLICAN.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 10, 10.
Unhappily for the country and
every one favoring a strict compliance
with its pledges by Government, there
is nothing in the record ofa very large
majority of Democratic Congressman
to encourage the hops that they will
not strike hands with the little band
Of fDancial fanatics and incendiaries
who were swept into the 4Gth Congress
on the crest of the Greenback wave
that submerged the country for brief
space Of time a few months since.
Some Of them came in as Democrats,
some as Greenbackers and a very few
"a Republicans. Their number in the
last Congress were so few as to be
easily held in check but with the re
Inducements sent by the Democratic
Greeuback coalition in certain district,
at the last election their strength has
been considerably augmented and they
are evidently bent on nulli8ing al
the good results that have accrued

Headstones of Union Soldiers.
De SoTo.

1t is probably generally remembered
that some years ago-in 1873-Con-
grcss passed a law providing for the
erection Of durable headstones over
the graves of soldiers of the regular
and volunteer forces of the United
States whose remains are inferred in
the National Military Cemeteries.
This law has been carried out, and the
graves of the Nations dead in these
cemeteries are now permanently
marked. At the instance Of the War
Department, Congress has recently
authorized the erection Of similar
headstones over the graves Of the
Union soldiers who are buried in pri-
yate and village cemeteries. This
will be done as soon as necessary ar
rangements can be made. In the
meantime the Quartermaster General,
at Washington, will at once proceed
to collect the necessary information as
to where the headstoues are required
All persons having any knowledge
Of the burial places Of soldiers in pri
vate cemeteries whose graves are no
marked, are requested to communi
cate the fact to the Quartermasts
General, and give regiment, company
and date of death of deceased,
known. Similar information is desired
from parties in charge Of such GENE
teres.
OF course it is not intended to fur
nish headstones for graves over whicI
monuments have already been erecte

Harrisburg Letter.
HARRIsBUBG, April II, 1879.

HARRISBURG, April IL, 1919.
ED. REPUBLICAN,
The Judges Salary
Bill was defeated in the Senate for
this session of the Legislature. The
bill to prevent the spread Of conra-
gious or infectious pleuro-pneumonia
among cattle ofthe State passed finally
and was sent to the House for concur
renee In the House, among other
acts, We one to encourage the plant
ing o. es oy the roadside. This is
not an act fully appreciated in your
county at present, but the time may
come when the forests are transformed
from stately signing trees to lofty piles
of architectural beauty; then trees by
the roadside will be something to be
wished for. Mr.. Early's bill to permit
the inmates Of any institution support
ed by the State, to choose such relig-
ious advisers as he or she may determ-
inc, was thoroughly discussed and in
definitely postponed. On Wednesday
the Riot Bill again got its head above
water, but was submerged by a vote Of
indefinite postponement, 1O3 to 80.
1t is liable any day to make its APP
pearance before the House, when l
hope it will be finally settled.
The Border Raid Bill passed second
reading. As Friday was legal holi-
day, the House adjourned over until
Tuesday morning, thus allowing men,
bers to return to their homes, and be
all in their places by the next session.
Sauntering through the Capitol the
other day we came to the room in
which the State battle flags are kept.
There they hang, each regiment
grouped in companies, mute witnesses
Of horror, bloodshed and dismay.
Some of the banners are still bright in
their silken slender; and droop tat
tered and torn. pierced by shot and
shell; some show only the bruised
staff with merely faded tassel left to
tell the dreadful story. PennsylSa-
MAS boys did noble service, and these
flags prove that they have been in the
thickest of the affray. Passing out of
this room Of sad memories we 60 over
to the Treasury building, in which is
the Governors room, an elegantly
furnished apartment, and the gallery
of portraits representing the Govern
ors of the Commonwealth, Some of
the older ones are dressed in velvet
coats, huge wigs, embroidered waist
coats, aud gay vestments quite equal
to the display Of modern fashionable
women. In this room is a lock of
Washington's hair framed, and also of
Thomas Jelierson's, with an autograph
letter Of the latter. There are many
models of monument to be erected
to the memory of Gov. Geary, brought
here for the Government to select
from; $4,000 was the amount appro.
priated for the purpose.
With a final glance at Wm. Penn,
clad in steel armor, we leave the
gubernatorial company and wend our
way homeward through the moist
spring air.

tainty, depression and disaster between
the crash Of 1878 and Jany 1, 1879,
when confidence was largely restored
and business began to seek old chan
nels and make new ones, by the assur-
ance then given ofa stable currency.
The purpose of this mischievous ele-
ment have been, so far, defeated by
adjourning over Monday, bill day,
thus allowing it no opportunity to in
troduce the bills prepared to reopen
all the vexed and complicated ques-
tions of finance happily settled, but
for the efforts Of these thinkers, by re.
sumption Immediately after adjourn
ment last evening, however, a Demo
cratic caucus was held to demand that
a session should be held Monday to
allow the introduction of bills to au-
thorize the issue of bullion certificates
and the substitution of Greenbacks for
the national bank circulation. The
caucus was not very fully attended
and little else was accomplished but
the passage Of long string ofpolitical
resolutions and one demanding that
the financial disorganizers be permitted
to get in their work. The letter of
the resolution was so Aagrantly at vari-
ance with all that Democracy has ac-
complished, es to excite only the con-
tempt of intelligent men at this patent
resort to bypocracy and downright
lying, to divert attention from the
real work it has in hand. That is, to
force the approval of the Executive
to legislation that is inuinsically
wrong and designed to secure partisan
advantage, at the expense of every
thing really and truly Republican in
our form of government, with the al.
tentative Of having its supplies cut of,
The non-attendauce Of many Of the
prominent leaders seems to indicate
some hesitancy on their part-some
doubt as to the policy Of publicly es-
pousing the extreme Greenback posi-
tion. So long as there seems one hope
Of accomplishing anything by dicker
with the few Greenbackers here in the
House, 10 one expects them to sacri.
fee it by taking stand in opposition.
But in attendance at the caucus they
would have been forced to show their
hands; hence their absence.
Ifany Republican here was in need
of all from an external source to
insure his frmness when the crisis OF
the battle now in progress on Capitol
Hill comes, it was furnished in almost
uniform gains by his party wherever
the Democrats forced the fighting on
national issues in the elections Just
held. And those troubled with mis-.
givings heretofore on this point have
generally dismissed them since the
Republicans in Ohio, Michigan and
elsewhere have demonstrated their in.
vincibility when couragousIy adhering
to principle, while the sun Of the traf
fckers and party gamblers has gone
down into irretrieyable disaster.
Four times during the past twelve
months Southern military orgauiza'
tions had repeated the insult by visit
ing this city and displaying theil
State colors in lieu of the Stars AM
Stripes. A recent repetition has aroused
great indignation.

SINCE We have hanging matches in
Texas every few days, and it is even
fashionable to be we'll hung, would it
not be pleasing to the public, disguised
with these exhibitions, to find some
better method of putting period to
human life than choking people to
death. One big iron chest, in which
to enclose fellow, as Genevra was
locked up, and little machinery TO
produce oxy-hydrogen or other gas or
= big electrical battery, supplied In
after years from the gas works, which
win soon give US electrical light, would
serve much better purpose in knock
ing life out of the dying desperadoes
and colored ''raplsts" than this old
fashioned, barbarous mode of pulling
It out Of them by then necks. About
szsaf The number hanged are ehoked to
death and their snfTerings must be in-
toierable. One of the brothers, Brown,
hanged Friday at Denton struggled
iesrfully till he died from strangula-
tioo, the other Brown, who fell at the
same instant through the trap, died in
stantly. His neck was broken. But
this hanging Of people is simply horri-
bic and hrutalizing. Mohs should not
be suffered to witness such incidents.
Norderers should be privatels put to
death. even II it be hFing death, i'm
INJURED for life within dismal prison
celia. There are few approving the IN
flclion Of these terrible punishments in
this lrightinlly, hideous, disgusting
manner and legislation should provide
feferm.

THE Sulphur Springs Gazette de-
votes nearly two columns to fierce
criticisms upon the Governor because
he refuses to commute the sentence OF
death pronounced by the Hopkins
county court upon a confessedly brutal
negro who killed another negro. We
don't know what to say about the Ga
sette's exposure of the Governors uu-
feeling harshness, but nobody who has
seen and knows Governor Roberts, 10
private life, would give utteTance to
such opinions of his conduct or char
acter. He is the very impersonatIon of
kindness and generosity. He never
even speaks harshly of those who have
assailed him most upjustly and most
iiercely. No beggar ever appealed to
him in vain, and no sufferer ever failed
10 excite his pity. But he has served
long and wisely on the bench. He
obeys the laws he was sworn to execute,
and when an intelligent jury and judge
have condemned man to death, when
they might have imprisoned him for
life, and all the facts and doctors and
editors and lawyers were at the trial,
chg Governor concludes that the jury
and court decided properly and that he
cannot interfere. There was no doubt,
in this Sulphur Springs case, as to the
identity OF the criminal, as in the In
stances in which he has interposed,
and properly, in two or three instances,
to defeat the hangman's purposes. But
then we need only call ON the Telegram
to answer the Gazette. The Telegram
Is furious because the Governor does
pardon criminals or commute their sea-
fences and the Gazette that he don't.
They are both wrong, and prove it, and
only the Governor is right.

A report has been circulated fer
some time past that land shsrks haye
beea busy in the Pm Handle country,
and that much Of the land intended to
be reserved for the purpose Of build
ing a State Capitol has been located on
g plan Aefying ell law, thus rendering
State lands almost valueless. The Law
authorizing locations upon alternate
certificates Is a. plain as anything can
be, and it is we'll understood by lsrd
men, while thousands Of sections are
annually located under its provisions.
This law especially defaes how loce-
lions shall be made along water
courses, and no one has ever heard Of
single sections beng laid 50 as to cover
both sides of stresm, of the class
referred to in the law. The Cansdisa
river traverses the Pan Handle country,
and 1t is reported that in the counties
OF Oldham, Hartley and others,
through which flow This river and its
tributaries, that sections have been lo-
Gated taking in beth sides of the
streams, aud that the lines have been
SO run as to cover almost all the wster
with private sections, while the STATE
lie left out on the grass without water.
This style of surveying hiss been gong
Cd, so it is reported, in direct violation
Of law, until the State has been de-
frauded Of vast wealth. Theae are the
reports, but it can hardly be true that
any of these fraudulent surveys have
been palmed off at the Land Office,
and patents obtained. They would
certainly have been detected there, and
while patents have not Issued, the rem
edY can yet be applied aud the lands
saved. Reports as to these locations
came to the STATESMAN nearly two
months ago from Northern Texas, IN
volYing parties in Sherman, but we
thought them incorrect, probably, and
did not refer to them. We are
now led to believe there is much IN
the story, and, If so, it requires imme-
date attention. Ii there be truth in
these things the facts should, by this
time, certainly, be within the knowledge
OF the State officials. Col. Norton,
the State Commissioner to examine into
the lands of the Capitol reservation
and report upon them, has been in the
city for a day or two, and can certainly
tell all about 1t. He is known to be
an earnest, honest man, and we can
hardly believe he has been negleciing
he duty.
