excited and embittered the adherents of
each side and disturbed one mind SO
much as to impeI it to murder.
The Shippensburg Chronicle wants
the Democratic party in this state de-
livered from its I" Bosses" If the Chron-
icle would specify just who are the
bosses'' of the Democratic party OF
Pennsylvania, they would need only he
pointed out to be sat down upon. Our
observation is that of late the party has
made up its mind to get rid Of any pre-
tenders to bosship, and is in just the
frame of mind to tolerate no bossing.
THE simple confidence Of the Ken
lucky Republicans who recommend can-
lidates for appointment to office on tie
ground that their brothers voted for
Grant at Chicago, is absolutely charm
ing. We can imagine Senator Kaufman
an applicant for the local revenue COL
lectorship on this broad patriotic issue.
IT will he Sta!wart administration.
And you will have no chance to tor-et
it.
THE Boston politicians have just learned
the old trick Of rubbing party tickets
with tallow so that stickers will not stick.
Innocent Boston
ADAMS county takes the cake in the
graveyard insurance business. People
over there are not allowed to die in peace
until the policies on them mount up to a
million.
CoEDUCATION of the sexes is such a
marked success in Hanover college, In
diana, that nearly every girl there is
finding husband "within the lines" as
the Republican reformers say.
THE pressure ON our advertising col
umns compels slight change of makeup.
Our usual budget Of general news will be
found on tho first page Of to-day's INTEL
IIGENCER.
The Philadelphia Eeening Telegraph,
Ind. Rep, which knows Reformer when
it sees him, holds its nose at the spectacle
of Congressman Bayne posing in that at
titude. It rates him as "half baked, "
since until within a very recent period
this now raging anti Cameron warrior was
one of the trusted local leaders of the SEN
atol ial Boss" All his interests, personal
Legal, political and social, were bound up
in the success of Camcronism and the
Cameronian methods. He is only playing
the harlequin now, because his defeat for
reelection has been agreed upon by the
Cameron clique in return for his zeal in
having undertaken to set up for himself.
ABOUT the sickliest compromise y
ticket yet proposed for the Republicans
next year is : Governor, Gen. James "A.
Beaver, of Centre lieutenant governor,
Hon. w. r. Davies, of Bradford judge
of tie supreme court, Hon. George Lear,
Of Bucks secretary Of internal affairs,
; Hon. John M. Greer, Of Butler. y West
Chester paper prints it " simply As 4 mat
ter of news "This, it is said, would
be fair mingling of both elements of the
party-Beayer and Greer being Stalwarts,
and Davies and Lear Independents" -"
Quay is evidently not the jokingest joker
of his party. Give the cap and bells TO
the man who would run Lea, and Davies
as Independents.
THE Philadelphia Times is after the
scalp Of the Jury -fixer" and puts up
standing rewards of $2,750, open until
January I, 1Ss3-s1, 900 for the first de-
lection and conviction of a "jury- -fixer' in
Philadelphia, and anyone convicted of cor
rupting, or attempting to corrupt, juror
or jurors in any case, will be regarded as
"jury fixcr;'' $500 for the secend con.
viction of "jury- y-fixer;'' $3.50 for the
third conviction of "jury-fixer 500
each for the conviction of the next ten
"iury- -fxers.' If the offence is as fire.
quent and the offenders as common as
the Times declares, as the lawyers COM
plain and the public believe, somebody
ought to soon earn some of these liberal
rewards. The judges might turn an
honest penny that way, and the district
attorney.
CONSIDERABLE gratuitous advertising
has been secured by that Chicago school
from which q young girl, brain-weary,
homesick and delirious," wandered out
into the darkness the other night, to be
cut to pieces under the remorseless wheels
of a railroad train. A contemporary OBJ
serves that her delicate strung nerves had
been strained beyond endurance through
the enforced application of the ruinous
and iniquitous system of forcing which
prevails in too many educational iEsti:u-
tions that seek to compass within 4 few
years the whole range of modern knOwl-
edge Her cruel fate stands out conspic-
uously solely on account of the tragic
manner of her death. Had she reached
the homo her broken and feverish spirit
was longing for, taken to her bed with
brain fever and died, the fact would never
