Jul WcdlIH tuu pcI udHeuG prosperity. In
it there can be no dangerous competition,
no disastrous over-production. 1t is the
independent, self-supporting pursuit of
man. The difference between the immi-
grants who come in at our Eastern gates
and those who are to be excluded at
the Western, is that the latter bring
nothing into this country, and the former
take nothing out of it.
GOVERNOR FOSTER has appointed April
27 as day for the planting of forest trees
in Ohio by the roadside, in groves and
about homes.
MAJ. R.H. FORSTER has withdrawn from
the Centre Democrat, and his place is filled
by ]. r. Van Ormer. 8. T. Shugert re-.
tains his interest in the paper and it ex-
poets to he as enterprising as ever.
The Press speaks Of Arthur's appoint.
ment of Worthington for collector at Bos-
ton as ga factional appointment, made
apparently to aid faction the nomination
is one which has no justification" But
neither the Press nor any other H. B..
organ has designed to point out wherein
this appointment differs from Garfield's s
appointment of Robertson as collector of
New York.
Now that new investigation is to be
had by the New York Metropolitan mu-
scum into the charges originally published
in the Art Amateur, alleging improper
restorations in the Cesnola collection of
Cypriote antiquities, that magazine in the
April number discusses at length the new
evidence in the case, and gives supple
ment illustrating some of the startling
transformations the statuary has under
gone.
The Bristol Observer enters upon its
twelfth year with every indication of de-
served prosperity. Whatever need of
success has fallen to our esteemed Bucks
county contemporary has been won by
honest devotion to tho legitimate sphere
of local journalism. In the home field it
has been wide awake in cleaning the news
and presenting it in attractive shape, and
as an exponent of Democratic doctrine it
has spoken with no uncertain sound.

APRoPos of the suggestion that one
of the committee on text books of the
Reading school board cannot read or write,
the Record thinks that I" for all that, he
may be the most efficient of the members
Of the committee. He certainly knows
how to value education as a man values his
dinner who is obliged to 60 without his
dinner. It is not 30 very many years ago
that the state Of Pennsylvania elected
canal commissioner who was quite as
deficient in the knowledge of the schools,
but he was fully up to the measure Of his
in business aptitude, and ahead
,f them in natural abilities. It is very
much to know how to read and write. but
It is not all.''
ONE great scientific problem has been
solved. The French Biological society
decides that . man is dead drunk"
when the vital fluid presents the propor-
ion of l of alcohol to 1876 of blood. 1t
8 at this stage that most drankards cease
or we would have more deaths
rom alcoholism for when the inebriate
continues to drink until each 100 parts of
'lood contains one part of alcohol, death |
Invariably ensues. But science is not to |
