TIE proposed amendment to the c0nstitu-
tion forever prohibiting within this common
wealth, except fcrmedicinaL mechanical and
scientific purposes, the manufacture andsale
OF ali intoxicating liquors, passed the House
at Harrisburg on Thursdayof last week by a
vote Of 9s yeas TO 3S nays-siyty-fre mem
bers not having the courage to put them
selves on record. The same amendment
came up agajniu the House on last Tuesday
evening on its final passage, and was agreed
TO by vote of 100 yeas to 80 nays thirty
three members refusing 20 face the music
II the amendment passes the Senate, it must
before it can become a part Of the constitu-
tion, pass both branches Of the Legislature
at the session of 1888, and at the November
election in that year be submitted to a vote
Of the people for their ratification or reiec-
tiOn. 1t will thus be seen that the amend
ment has yet TO pass through several stages
before il can become operative as consti-
tutiOnsl barrier to intemperance. Our views
on this subject are now what they have al
ways been, and that is, that human nature
must be reconstructed before men can be
legislated into sobrie,y either by an act Of
Assembly or blythe more vigorous and sweep
ing process Of constitutional amendment.

A ELL is now pending in the State Senate

A BILL is now pending in the State Senate
fixing the salaries Of the Judges of the Su-
preme CoVt at s., 500 for the Chief Justice,
and s., 600 for each Associate Justice The
fact that such a bill is before the Senate re
minds us of another fact, and that is that al
though the new constitution, which went in
to effect on the first day of January, 1874
imposed upon the Legislature of that year
the duty of fixing the salaries of all the
Judges in the State, it has failed from that
time up to the present, a period of eight
years, to do SO. 1t is true that an attempt
10 discharge this constitutional obligation
has been made at almost every session, but
the effort has uniformly failed, thus leaving
the salaries of the Judges just as they were
before the constitution was adopted. To an
ordinary mind it would not seem very diff
icult thing for the Legislature to determine
how much the Judges of the different Courts
shall be paid, but the discredtable fact re-
mains that it has thus far shown itself un-
equaI to the task. Nor, so far as we have
observed, has any movement been made
during the present session to dispose of the
veXed question, except as regards the Judges
of the Supreme Court We think it very
certain that the Legislature of no other OF
the thirty-eight States would permit a plain
and positive constitutional duty to remain Sc
long unpertOrmed.

IL regard to the constitutional amendment
which passed the House at Harrisburg last
week ON second reading, prohibiting forever
the manufacture and sale in this State Of in
toxicating liquors, except for medicinal, me-
chauical and scientific purposes, the PhiIa-
deiphIa Record says
1t is to be hoped that the proposition to
submit to popular vote an amendment to the
Constitution prohibiting forever the manu-
factuTe and sale in Pennsylvania Of intoxi-
eating liquors except for mechanical, medi-
cal and scientific purposes, which passed the
House on second reading on Thursday night
may be voted down at a later stage. In the
first place. legislation Of this kind should not
be ~hlrEed 0y the Legislature. The expert
meut has recently been tried. aid the people
have decided against it. Why should not

Harrisburg Is nothing more than an OrGaniZ-
ed J...ii on the pockets OF persons Interested
in making and selling spirituoLs and malt
liquors. In this, or in any other aspect of
the case, the agitation i mjschieviuuS. The
aim of legislation should be to so restrict the
liquor traffic within safe bounds as to RENE
dy its evils. proper system Of license and
proper legislation to punish drunkenness are
the obvious means of improvement. The
true friends Of Temperance have these OBJ
jectS at heart, and have little sympathy with
the headlOng ZealOtry which undertakes to
make men moral by restrictive legislation.

MEDIUM WOOLEN DRESS GOODS.

There are three notable Wooden dress
fabrics at 81.
Melange pin checks, of five colors.
The warp is Of uniform light shade in
each the wool is of alternate clusters
of threads, three or four being light, tie
next three or four having twisted with
them thread of darker shade.
WoOlen sateens of eight colOTs, more
or less mixed in carding. The sateens
effect is produced by heavy warped
threads thrown almost wholly on the
surface ; they jump three or four of the
fine warp threads, and pass under only
one. The warp scarcely comes 10 the
surface ut all, us you can see by the sell
wage.
Croise cashmere of fifteen plain col
ors differs from ordinary cashmere in
the twill. This is probably no better
moneys worth than the others but
almost exactly the same has just been
offered us at wholesale for little more
money than we are selling it at.

IN BED FOR SEVENTEEN YEARs.-Avery

at the age of eIghty-One years. Having no

thirteen years ago he got up from the bed he
had occupied for ten years and performed
three years of hard labor, eating and sleep

since nor set up longer than to have his bed
made and to eat his meals. short time ago

Ten THOUSAND extra copies of Smull'S
Hand Book is what the members Of the pre-
sent reform Legislature are now after
and mean TO have If they know themselves
and they think they do. This will give each
member forty copies, and as he is entitled
under existing laws to 30 copies, those men,
bers who came in at the present session will
get 73 copies, while those who served two
years ago and were reelected will get l0G
copies. When this monstrous swindle was
before the House the other day on second
reading, progressive statesman from Wash
ing county, named BiIlingSley, had the cheek
to say that the books were for the people
that the State ought to pay for them, and for
his part he proposed to get all the books he
could at the expense of the State. \ Be
dOUin Arab whose conception of the differ
euce between meUm and tUllnl is pioyerbial-
" cloudy, could not have made bOder
plea in defense Of his natural right to plumb
der than Billingsley has done in this Instance
If the state ought to pay for Hand Books for
tie people, Is he insists, can BilingSley tell
the House why the State ought not TO pay
Tor boots, or hats, or coats, and deliver them
to him for distribution among his wool grow
ing constituents ? The fraud on the treasury
in both cases wouId be precisely the same.
This joint resolution for ten thousand extra
copies of the Hand Book will of course pass
both Houses, for the yearning that a Penn
sylvania Legislature for eight years has had,
and still has, for John 4. SmulTs compilation
at the expense OF the state, is as strong as the
love OF a Dutchman for sauer-kraut, of an
Irishman for potatoes, or a Weshman for
cheese. Nothing but q constitutional amend
ment will ever put a stop to this book grab
ing by the Legislature, which is growing
more ilagrant at every succeeding session.

Mr.. JOIN II. HESDLEY, of Cumberland
Nd, has constructed a clock which for the
number Of figures put in motion by its me
chanism, far exceeds the model of the Stras-
burg clock. The clock in its various parts
presents a complete history of the country
from the landing of Columbus up to the
present time. There is a mill in motion
railroad cars pass over a track, a bell-ringer
strikes the bell, and over platform passes
in succession all the Presidents from Wash
ington TO Garfield. In addition there is n
miniature model Of the Strasburg clock. with
all the moving figures in motion that figure
in the original. On tower a sentinel PAGES
around the circle, the American eagle screams
and flaps its wings, a lady plays upon .
piano and two children see-saw in time to
the motion of the pendulum. Mr. Hendley
has been for many years engaged in the CON
structlon OF this wonderful clock.

The gorges and ice floods in the Upper
Missouri river caused great destruction OF
life and property last week. The village OF
Green Island, Nebraska, opposite Yankton,
has been swept away, the inhabitants being
seen from Yankton clingiHg to their houses

been destroyed at Yankton. Advices from

nate people of Mandan remained IN that vii
lage, having only few beats. \ steamer

the ice. Five men were rescued along the
river, near Bismarck, by Mayor Peoples and
another man, one of the saved being taken
from floating cake of ice. The losses of
cattle in Dakota are reported to be enormous.
Some twenty dogs, belonging to Shoe
Heel North Carolina, started of together at
nightfall and attacked one of the citizens of
the town, who was riding home, with the fe-
TOcity of hungry wolves. 1t was only by
squirting his horse and riding for his life that
he escaped from them. He was pursued into
the village, where the savage animals were
frightened off by citizens, who came running
out of their houses with guns and pistols
The dogs then took to the woods and for sev
{ eral days caused havoc among all the hOrses
and cattle they could lay hold of. The peo
pie of Shoe Heel had finally to turn out eI
masse, with their firearms and give whole
day to hunting the dogs down. 1t was a

IT is estimated that the number of licensed
hotels and restaurants in this state is less by
one thousand than it was a year ago-a fact
which IS heraided abroad as a notable yicto-
ry for the cause Of temperance. If this re-
duction is due to q corresponding reduction
in the number Of imbibers, then the claim is
well grounded: but IL it is due to any other
cause, and we certainly have no assurance
that the persons who patrcnized those places
which were but are not have ceased to in
dulge in . social glass, we hope to be ex-
eused for declining to take any great amount
of stock in the so-caIIed temperance victory.
