has adorned with eloquent words, zeal
GUS labors and blameless life. As it has
been given to him to see the right DIR.
Greenwald has earnestly declared 1t, and
higher reward than this cannot be given
to man, to whom his talents are given
to he used according to their measure, to
earn the award "well done.' None in
this community will dispute the eminent
fitness which DR.. Greenwald has shown
for his calling, or the lustfe his life has
shed upon it.
PERHAPS Riddleberger didn't know it
was loaded.
An English critic, speaking Of the South
ern states Of the Union, prophecies that
their future development is to be one of
the wonders of this century,
WHEN Malone and Early get at it, it is
to be hoped that they will not omit the
important matter of providing their pistols
with caps. 1t is great shame to deprive
the practice of the code Of this last re-
naming vestige of interest.
As factor in the social ethics Of our
agricultural and once peaceable county,
the hip pocket is forging rapidly to the
front. 1t broke loose again Saturday
night in rural town and the result Of its
antics is elsewhere reported in the account
Of the bloody tragedy Oh the line of the
Reading railroad.
IT is quite too utterly touching to read
of tine bcatifc smile that adorned Riddle
berger's visage as with hand outstretched
in friendly gesture he walked mp to the
person who had denounced him rs \ liar
and scoundrel, and had, moreover, popped
his pistol at him three o: four times to
show that he meant what he said. Rid
dlebergcr, if nothing worse, has certainly
demonstrated himself an amoosin' cuss.
THE burden Of prnof rests upon Mr..
Wolfe, as pointed out by that stout cham.
pion of his cause against the Bosses, the
Petroleum World, the editor of which,
Gooige f. Mapes, is a warm personal
friend and coadjutor of the Independent
Republican candidate. He has charged
public officer with serious offenses
against the state the allegations have
been promptly and fully denied the next
step is to submit the evidence in the case
and that duty dcvolves upon Mr.. Wolfe.
The glimmcring suspicion long enter
tanned by sensible people that Mr.. Dis
trict Attorney Corkhill is crank, has
strengthened with each succeeding day of
the history of the presidential shooting,
until at this time it has assumed the shape
of positive conviction. The latest reli-
able outciving of this frisky (unctionary
is his expressed opinion that the fact that
Guiteau is alive to-day is disgrace to the
country. The administration of a little
salt might possibly have the effect of
bringing Corkhill to true sense of his
position rs the vindicator of law and
order.
BRAVE old Baron Steubcn deserves an
honored place in the memory of the Amer
ican people. He it was who first drilled
the continental army and converted it
from a gathering of patriots to body of
drilled troops, and the example of his own
sturdy courage produced an inspiriting
effect in the often wavering arms of the
Sfrll rOlin,r .sn1nnistc II &c
nently fitting that the United States should
give hearty welcome to his descendants
whom We have invited to take part in the
Yorktown centennial. 1t may lie interest
ing to state, as showing that the old
Baron's instincts still prevade his descend.

Orr esteemed contemporary, the Wilkes

actual occurrences, when in an issue as
recent as Saturday it calls upon its readers
to "mark the prophecy! David Davis |
