WHAT Is A "srALwAaqq"

The use which has latterly been made of
| the word stalwart is calculated to puz-
zle and bewilder the average intelligence.
Win some expert take the floor and tell
the public what ''stalwart" really is:
We had supposed formerly that it signi-
fed thoroughgoing, loyal, trustworthy
partisan. We are quite sure that this
was the original meaning of the term.
But what it means now, as applied to
politicians who are celebrated for anything
and everything but loyalty, stability and
trustworthiness, it has become very hard
to determine. Mr.. Conkhng is just now
spoken of as representing the "stalwart u
element. But does he? Is it not true that
he has been, to speak profanely, balky
horse, for 10 these many years Has he
not time and again manifested the strong
est disposition to kick over the traces?
Has he not repeatedly sulked !? Has it
not been necessary to make special
business of soothing and placating
and rewarding him in advance? Is
there any other Republican leader who
has insisted on being paid with offices and
influence, before he would come out of his
tent and take the field |? We do not know
of any other prominent Republican who
has done these things, and yet we perceive
that Mr. Conkling is termed "stalwart
Does Z" stalwartism then consist in put
ting personal claims above party interests
Does it consist in subordinating national
issues to personal petulances ? Is it mani
tested in constant threats to bolt the party,
in studied insults to the chosen head of
the party, in chronic warfare against ell
who recognize any higher aim than the
qualification of the g stalwarts' personal
wishes? The word has hitherto been used
as though those who protested the attr-
butes ascribed to it had some ground for
pride and self complacency. 1t has
been used, in fact, quite generally as
synonym for rough but real patriotism
and strong principle. Bit surely the
stalwartism" of which the country now
has such remarkable illustrations has
nothing in common with the ideal we have
outlined There was time when the
new kind of stalwart" would have
been called a much less complimentary
name. In California several years ago
there was faction which got the nick
name of Dolly Vardens." 1t was sort
OF Adullamite party, and in all essentials
the very antithesis of stalwartism y yet,
singular as it may seem, the, qualities
which were regarded as most Objectionable
in the Dolly Vardens" are precisely
those which distinguish the newest SAM |
pies of " stalwartism. Are we to under
stand that stalwart Republican
OF 1851 is man who will |
stick to his party as long as
he can rule it, but will desert it
or fight it the moment his control is ques-
toned These political designations change
so frequently, or the politicians who bear
them change SO frequently, that it is
scarcely possible to keep thoroughly in
formed concerning them. The latest as
poets of what is called stalwartism y are
however SO entirely unlike its earlier as
poets that we find it necessary to ask for
information as to the meaning of the meta.

The ARBUCKLE MYSTERY. since the
robbery of the railroad office, including that

Freese, was found wounded in the head and
lying bleeding upon the floor, with the Office
safe riA9d Of about 81. 500, there has been a
suspicion upon the part of the detectives that
the agent could. if he desired, give valuable
Information about the matter. His state
ment was that two tramps came in and over
powered him and committed the robbery A
peddler named Shelton left that vicinity
soon after the occurrence and went to San
Francisco. when it wss thought he was suspi-
ciously flush with money, and he was
watched Last Tuesday while under the in
fiuence of liquor he related to a supposed
friend-but who was an agent Of the de-
tectiVes in the case-all about the robbery.
to the effect that he and the agent (Freese)stole
the money. and divided it, and then arranged
Freese in the coalition in which he was
found at the time of the robbery Shelton
striking him light blow upon the head and
producing the wound, in order to make the
plan successful in avoiding suspicion. Skel-
ton was at once arrested upon having thus
exposed the matter, and Freese was also
taken into custody in answer to telegram.
The latter was still at Arbucllle, although he
was discharged from his position with the
company soon after the robbery took place.

tions revealed to the geologist was clearly set
forth. We were told of the myriads of shells
that filled the seas at one time and whose re-
mains now form large and thick areas of rock
We were told how the rocks were bent and
doubled up and faulted in the ages past. We
were told how the soil where the Institute
now stands and for some distance north and
south, was all brought in and deposited here
from some lands quite distant. This deposit
or drift as it is called, was occasioned as most
geologists suppose, by glacial acton but this
is only theory-ssme future geologist may
explain it in another way.
The lecturer gave an interesting account of
the uses Of geology. How by it the farmer
could tell where the soil is best; how the
miner could tell where to commence digging
to be successful; how the coal fields are To-
Gated, and he also told us that by looking at a
geological map Of a country we could tell, in
measure, the character and occupation of
its people. We were given a clear idea of the
coal measures in the United States. Our at
tention was directed to the fact that by the
goodness of Providence our coal measures
be obtained with comparative ease.
In conclusion, Mr. MACFARLANE spoke Of
the time when he read with unfeigned pleas
ure the wonderful story of ALADDIN and his
lamp. He compared the lamp of ALADDIN
to the lamp of the miner, and the black genl
to the black coal that lies within the rocks
The miner has but to carry his lamp into the
mine and coal lies ready TO serve him. 1t
drives the engine across continents and the
steamers over the oceans; it is the power
that moves the immense machinery in our
machine shops and manufactures, and car
ries warmth and comfort to homes.
Seldom have we listened to so interesting
an account of the graud old rocks that lie be-
meath our feet. 1t awakened in us new zeal
and new desires to study the footprints in
the sands, the impress in the rocks and the
wonderful science Of geology, J.D.B.

Mr.. MaCfarlane's Lecture.

The third lecture of the course at the Sus-
quehanna Collegiate Institute was delivered
Monday evening, by Pennsylvania's fayorite
geologist, our esteemed townsman, Mr.. JAS.
MACFARLANE. The subject of the lecture
was g The foot print in the sand" The lee
turer began by giving an account, in a few
words, of foot print that was seen in the
sand by CRUsOE in his wandering upon the
island where he supposed no one lived but
himself Though CRUSOE had seen no one;
though to all appearance he was as much
alone with the wild beast as ever, yet there
was in that impress of foot proof that could
not be doubted, proof carrying conviction
that man had been there.
The rocks reveal to every pasSer-by who
will but look, facts that tell the story of their
formation. VIM. SMITH discovered that diff
erent strata can be identified by the fosis
they contain.
If the whole earth should be DESTROYED by
volcanic eruption and every vestige of life be
buried meath mass of cinders and laYa for
ages, and then be removed by the washings
of the elements for untold years, some future
race called into existence by creative fiat,
might see some Of the characteristics of the
people who once inhabited the earth. The
Chinese, with his quaint features, could be
told from the African, while the American
would represent the characteristics of all the
people of the earth.
We find to day in the ruins of Herculaneum
and Pompeii the impresss of hand, the skel-
eton of man, the shape in the ashes of the
head and neck of a girl. Geology in like man
ner preserves to us in her mystic storehouse
the bones of animals, the leaves of trees, the
scales of fishes and the wings of birds. AS
we ponder over the remains our minds wan
der back to the time when these bones were
clothed with flesh, and these leaves waved
from the branches of some forest tree, when
these scales glided through the wide waste of
waters on the back of some sea monster and
these wings circed high in the azure vault of
heaven.
The lecturer gave the classes OF animals
and their subdivisions. Space will not allow
us to give these however instructive they
may be. Mention was made of the custom in
the early history of man, to preserve by wri-
ting upon stone the facts that were desired 10
go down to posterity. In like manner nature
has written on stones what she wished COM
ing ages to know. The kinds of rock and
their meaning were explained at length
What the different layers, strata and forma-
