The palm for large-sheet newspapers
should be borne off by the publishers Of the
Steubenville Herald which is by far the lar
gest single-sheet newspaper that comes to our
editorial table. It is q handsomely printed
folio sheet three, feet by four feet eight
inches in size, each Of its four pages contain
ing twelve columns. Its immensely puzzled
US twice in one breath, the first conundrum
being as to how long the arms OF the man
are who makes up the forms, and the
second as to how its subscribers manage TO
read it. Goliah Of Gath might possibly
have performed the first operation safely,
the second is as yet without any satisfac-
tory solution to our .inquiring mind. Our
plan would be to nall it up on the side of
q large barn, and read it from the risers Of
q step-ladder, or from a pair of movable
stills. 4 bycicle might possibly answer the
purpose.
A boom for large-sheet newspapers, or q
great number of sheets at one issue, may
perhaps rage during the days Of our pres
ent generation, but let us hope that the
time is not far distant when we shall have
more Of our newspapers in a condensed
form, more of the extract and less OF the
diluted essence Of daily, more palatable
and set better on the public stomachs than
the soups and gruels Of the present fashion
The extended plan Of to-day is an excel
lent one for paper manufacturers, but Wheth-
er any one else is blessed or benefited by
HE foot-by-foot sheets is an open question.

ton. The nineteenth century chronicles the
advent of two superb comets, that of 1853,
or Donati's comet, and that of 1861. Accord
ing to the law of averages, we can hardly
expect again visits from such distinguished
members of the family before the century
closes. But we shall see IS time passes what
the future has in store, for nothing is more
uncertain than the advent Of these mysterious
strangers, and one may suddenly beam upon
our vision when we least expect it. There
are but W things to fear, q great comet
plunging headlong into the sun, or one COM
ing into collision with the earth. Tue prob
abilities that these events may occur are OF
the slightest kind, and need not give the
least anxiety.

decides the Speakership question. If
they decide in favor of Hiscock, and
they probably will, it will make a fight
between the East against the West, and
the latter will probably concentrate on
Keiffer or Kasson and win. Those
gentlemen are trying hard to get the
necessary support for that occasion.

THE SILVER QUESTION.

Judge Folger, the new Secretary OF
the Treasury, is said to be as ardent a
hater of silver as John Sherman, who
predicted that financial ruin would fol-
low the passage of the Silver Bill AS
the Director of the Mint is to some ex-
tent subservient to the Secretary of the
Treasury, Burchard, who occupies that
position, hastens to put himself in ac-
cord with the new Secretary Director
Burchard has heretofore been the only
extreme silver man among the promi-
nent officials of the Treasury Depart
ment, and his sudden change of front
to mono metalist creates no little sur
prise and considerable disgust among
the advocates of the reconciliation of
silver. He wants the coinage of silver
dollars suspended. although silver notes
issued instead of silver dollars, and re-
-deemable in those coins, are as popular
as greenbacks, or even gold notes.
While Director Burchard has expert.
'enced change of sentiment, probably
for the purpose of prolonging his Off
cial career, it is gratifying to the people
of the silver producing States and Ter
ritories to learn that in the Tariff Con
vention in session in New York, John
Thompson, National banker, startled
the Convention by admitting the popu-
larity of silver coin, and recommending
the removal of all restrictions on silver
coinage by placing it Oh an equality
with gold. He advocated paper cur
rency based on silver, for domestic use,
and an American coin currency for the
outside world. He thought the sooner
silver coin and silver certificates congti-
tute the major part of our money, the
farther off will be panic and a revo-
luton.
As matter of fact, the mining inter
est is not directly benefited by the
coinage of standard dollars. The bull
ion of which they are composed is pur-
chased of producers at London rates,
and the Government profits by the DIFF
ference between that rate and the assay
value of silver. The Silver Bill was
only one move in the right direction,
and the other should be the free coinage
of silver, so that producers, not the
Government, will profit by the differ
ence between the London price of sill
Yer bullion and its par value when
coined.
If the people of the silver producing
States would make the reconciliation
of silver the paramount political issue,
they could compel ia, orable action on
the matter in Congress. Malone, in
consideration of his vote in the Senate,
forced the Republicans to indorse repu-
diation and reward its advocates in
Virginia with Federal patronage. and
most assuredly the Senators and Repre-
sentatives from Colorado and Nevada
could compel favorable action on the
Silver Bill by Withholding their support
from the party that opposed remoneti.
zation. j. z. Jones, the Silver Senator
from Nevada, as he has been termed, is
to-day in position, owing to equal
division of parties in the Senate, to
force bill through that body placing
silver on an equality with gold, so far
as its free coinage is concerned. Will
the Senator exercise his power to ac-
complish this great good for his con-
stituents?

ThIeving Star Routc RobberIes.
prom The Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times
There SCENE to be considerable ex.
citement In the minds of some OF the
Western Congressman now arriving at
Washington about the Star route re-
ductions. These reductions have nj.
fected many of the districts in the
West. There will be a great clamor
from the remote sections of the country
for the restoration of some II not all
the service that has been cut oil.
This agitation will be assisted as much
as possible by those who for years have
been making use of these Star routes to
rob the public Treasury. The more
Congressman clamor for restoration OF
the opportunities Tor plunder the more
the thieves will applaud II so far serves
to divert the attention oil the public
from thieves to the Congressman. Clam
oring for restoration of that gigantic
swindle, however, is something that no
Congressman with reputation can ai
ford. Public opinion has been very
freely given on this subject and the
condemnation is unanimous.
IL will be the ruin OF any man who
undertakes to say that Pos slmaster Gem
eral James has not done just what
should have been done in cutting oil
this extraordinary expense and defeat
ing further opportunities for enormous
robberies. The cutting down mas heen
done with the greatest care and after
the fullest examination, under the per
sonal direction of Mr.. James. IL was
not done IN any haphazard way nor
with the view solely to saving money,
but it was done because the service was
not needed and was kept up for the
benefit of ring who were plundering
the Treasury.
No member can afford TO ask for re.
turn to that sort Of thing, and in view
OF thoroughly we'll known public senti-
ment on this point it will be good
thing for any one who contemplate
the agitation TO reflect before he gets
his foot in il. The fate of Democrat
ic Congress, which year and half ago
was persuaded by Brady into voting his
extraordinary demand OF several mil.
lions 10 cover deficiency in the Star
route service, ought TO be warning.
Not so much was then known of these
robberies as has since been learned.
There was not then that universal con.
s >demnatiou of the system that has since
developed.
Western Congressman will find they
cannot take into Congress the notions
of the Star route service which they
may bring from districts where these
frauds have attained high development.
No party can now afford to get on the
wrong side of this question. That
means the certain and speedy condem-
nation by the country.

0LD PoIST ConFoRT, Dec. Ia ro-
nance has just come 70 light here, in
regard to the marriage of Miss Fargo,
the heiress OF six millions. made by her
father in Wells and Fargo's express.
She became engaged during the past
summer TO Lieut.. II. q. Squires. Of the
Army, stationed 1T Fort Monroe. Her
mother opposed the match, but the
young lady having spirit of her own,
determined TO circumvent parental op.
position, 80 on the lIth of last October.
she aud Lieut.. Squires went for walk
20 the Hygeia Hotel, 1t Hampton. On
reaching Hampton they went to the
house OF the Rev. Mr.. Gravatt. and an.
nounced their intention of being mar.
ried then and there. Mr.. Grasatt made
no objection 70 tying the knot, but
owing TO the serious illness Of his wife
the party adjourned to the house OF q
neighbor, Mr. Heffellinger. where the
ceremony was performed. Mr. and Mrs.
Sauires thea returned to Old Point.
Nobody suspected they were married,
as the clergyman and witnesses had
been bound over to secrecy. Towards
the last Of October, Miss Fargo, as she
was still called, left with her mother
for their home In Buffalo, and fes
days afterwards Mr.. Squires followed
her and claimed his wife. Locking
the stable door was no use then. so
Mr.. and Mrs. Squires returned to Fort
Monroe, and the marriage was publish.
ed as having taken place on the llth Of
October. So we'll bad they kept their
secret that not the least suspicion was
awakened In regard 70 the true state OF
the case. and the announcement was

While there is furrow to be
turned the plow should not rest in
the fall months. One sometimes
heard the most absurd objections
made, to the effect that farmers are
urged by agricultural writers 10
work, work, AMI never to be inle,
but always find something TO do.
But why not? a writer on agricul-
tural subjects, if he understands his
business, knows that the farm is no
play ground any more than the
store; he knows too, that, as
n rule, the farmer has more
leisure than any other bust
ness man, and is too apt in his
leisurely way TO put off his work I'M
Ill the last moment, not realizing
what damage may happen through
this. And what has the farmer TO do
but TO till his farm: 1t is only when
one is working that he is producing,
and il is the part of wisdom to work
when there j. work to be done, and
rest when it is done. And fall plow-
ing is the most important work of
the season. On the majority of
farms the blowing is done by hired
men, and the employer certainly
does not wish TO pay his labOrer
for doing nothing; and ii he is a
sensible man he knows that every
fair days labor performed by his
workmen Will yield him Il profit on
the outlay. There are many farm
crs who recognize these facts, and
who are industrious and painstak-
ing, and yet who might delay their
fall blowing or even put off the
blowing until spring, and take
their leisure just now, simply be-
cause they may not clearly I'M
derstand the advantages Of do
ing this work as soon as pos
sible, and before the cold wealth
er arrives. Some explanation of
these advantages may then be of in
terest. Few of us realize what
vast storehouse of fertility is locked
up in the soil. 1t is this very fact
that gives point to the knowledge
that by the sweat of the brow man
must earn his bread. We may SOW,
but we can not reap unless with
much labor we work the soil with
pillow and harrow and it is this very
labor that unlocks the treasures of
the soil so that we may help our
selves 10 our share
