If there is any such thing as unconscious
herOiSm, says the Philadelphia Times, Fan
ME Conan, a fOurteen-yeaT-Old girl of New
York, possesses it in high degree. While
playing near boat house on the Harlem
river she dived headlong from the END of a
pier to rescue from drowning little Jessie
RentOn, her playmate. Little Jessie came to
the surface unconscious and was sinking for
the third time, when she was gTasped by her
brave young friend and borne TO a boat
twenty feet away. After seeing the half
drowned girl safe in the arms Of her older
brother Miss Fannie swan after her slipper,
which had dropped from her foot as she dived
from the wharf and which was bobbing up
and down on the water some distance out in
the stream. The practical minded swimmer
said afterward that it was a new slipper and
she didn't want it lost, at the same time ex-
pressing childish surprise that any one should
praise her for saving little Jessie.

AN interesting feature in Virginia
politics just now is the fight between
FUlkersOn, a Readjuster member Of
Congress and Malone. At the uomina-
ting convention in Fulkersons district
on Friday last. the full strength and in
huence of Malone was thrown in favor
of II. J. Bowen, and he was nominated
over EIlkersOn's head, FulkeUson has
announced himself as an Independent
candidate, and pledged himself, if cleo
ted TO vote with the Democrats in the
next Congress, and to support the Dem
ocratic State ticket, hoping by these
means to receive lie Democratic vote.
There are very few negro voters in the
district. JoTgenson, now the Republic
can member of the House from Mahones
own district. has also announced himself
as an independent candidate and de-
nouneing MahOne in the most bitter
terms. There is thus strong probabil-
ity that MahOne's coalition in Virginia
will fall to pieces before November.

THOMAS VALENTINE COOPER, of
Cadiz, Ohio, Chairman of Cameron's
State Committee, the same individual
whe protests against the election of Rob
eTt f. Pattison as Governor of Pennsyl-
vania because he happened to be born in
/ Maryland, is, in the language of the
! great American humOrist, Artemus
Ward, ''an amoosin' cuss.' - a cores
pOndent of the New York Herald had a
talk one day last week with Cooper.
during which that hopeful youth declar-
ed "Oh, we'll elect Beaver by $4,000.
Pattison will not begin to poll the Dem
ocratic vote. For instance there are
AZ, 900 veterans in the State $1,000 of
Of these are Democrats, and 1000 Of
them will vote for Beaver. He has the
Grand Army and the National Guard
with him. In Cambria county the
Grand Army has l 400 members, of
whom 248 are Democrats. We have
made a careful canvass and all except
three Of these Democrats will vote for
Beaver. Then the labor ticket will
carry off 60, 200 Democrats. - There is
much more of this cheap sort of bIag
detailed by the correspondent, but what
we have quoted will do. It is by the
manufacture of such campaign vaporing
that this Ohio carpet-bagger hopes in
his political extremity to infuse courage
for the fight inte Beavers dispirited and
already vanquished followers. We will
now offset Cooper's boombast with what
the Johnstown Tribune thinks of it. Re-
feTring to the interview in the Herald,
the Tribune says that Cooper has been
imposed upon by some ore who did not
know what he was talking about-that
there is only one Grand Army Post in
Cambria 'cOunty-EmOry Fisher Post.

him to be a more accomplished liar than
Falstaff ever was when at his level best.
There is some loud talk among the Bea-
yer men who have been utterly disgust
ed with COoper's management. of re-
moving him and putting some man of
common sense in lis place, but we hope
he will be permitted to play the anus
ing part Of the monkey to the organ
grinder until the end of the campaign.

THE Pottsville Standard, an ably ed
tied Democratic journal, is vigorously
urging upon the people of Schuylkill
county the great interests they have at
stake in the reelection OF Hon Cyrus L.
Pershing to the President Judgeship
of that district. As we stated two or
three weeks ago, Judge Pershing has
two competitors for the place, John W.
Ryon, and James B. Reilly, both of
whom are seeking a nomination from
the Democratic county convention,
while Judge p. proposes 70 run as the
candidate of the people. irrespective of
the action of political conventions, and
the Standard of last week in referring
to the matter and the candidacy of
Messrs. RyOn, and Reilly says Posi-
bly, at some other time either OF both
these gentlemen would be cEeerfully
awarded a nomination but it is just as
well for them 10 understand that at this
juncture a very large majority of the
people of Shuylkill county prefer TO re-
tain Judge Pershing on the Bench. and
win carry out that determination at the
polls regardless of all or any political
conventions. Any candid and intelli-
gent man, who impartialiy considers
the situation, must confess that such is
the fact; and it is a fact which these
gentlemen and their friends, in justice
to themselves, no less than to the Dem
ocratic party, should have the frankness
and courage to look squarely in the
face" All os which is a boom for Mr..
Pershing and "a boomerang for the advo-
Gates of partisan judiciary.

THE Pope AND IRELAND.--A letter from
the Pope 10 the Irish Bishops, dated August
1, was published in Rome on Sunday last
His Holiness, expressing his profound regret
that tranquility mas not been restored in Ire
land and that murders continue to be COM
mitted, says: THE Irish people, by follow
ing the advice of their prelates may hope for
the alleviatiOn of the ills from which they
suffer. a Just cause must be upheld by Just
means. Secret societies must be shunned
In the words of st. Augustine, the first char
acteristic trait Of liberty is the non commits
sion Of crimes. The priests ought to be act
i've supporters of public order during the
present troubles" The letter concludes by
expressing the hope that the English Govern
ment will do justice to the equitable claim of
the Irish people, remembering That the paci-
fcation of Ireland constitutes an element Of
tranquility in the whole empire.

WE have seen ladies, who when they
wanted to remember some particular
thing, would tie string around one of
their fingers. This would be a good thing
for the Democrats who are not register
ed to do. Every time they would look
at the finger with the string on they
would recall the fact that they are not
registered, and unless they are they can
not vote without ten times the trouble
that getting registered would cost. Sep
tember 7th is the last day that this i'm
portant matter can be attended to, but
you can tie string on your finger now
and then you'll not forget to be register
ed the first day YOU are near where your
register lives.-BeJlcTOntc Wdtcbman.

BEFORE intrusting the Democrat

BEFORE intrusting the Democratic
party with power, the people will be apt
to inquire what its principles are and
what its practical objects are. The
principles of the Democratic party are
clearly defined. They are excellently
stated in the letter Of Chauncey L.
Black. the Democratic candidate for
Governor of Pennsylvania, as including,
among other things, opposition to the
lavishing Of needless millions snatched
from the hands of patient labor upon OBJ
jects not distinctly defined by the con-
Stitution." !" In other words, they in
clude opposition TO precisely such Jobs
as the River and UarbOr bill, which
majority Of both Houses present ard Yo-
ting on its passage nevertheless disgrace
ed themselves and diScredited their par
ty by supporting. In what does the
DemUcracyscOnsist if a Democrat who
talks about the principles of Jackson, ="
and who. when an occasion to vindicate
the principles of Jackson actually offers
itself, shows that his only care to secure
to his district its share of whatever
money is squandered upon the 'objects
not clearly defined in the constitutions"
The principles of the Democratic party
are real and pnwayering, whoever main
tains them or whoever is Tecreant to
them.-N, I. World.

The most amusing pair on the River and
HarbOT bill was that between BeltZhoOver
Democrat, of Pennsylvania, and McCoOk,
Republican, of New. York. The former was
present upon the passage of the bill over
tire veto, but did not vote. His constituents
quarreled with him because he ought to have
in such a case paired with two men and,
in fact, McCOok was opposed to the bill.
On the other hand, McCOok is getting it from
his New York constituents for pairing at all
and absenting himself at so important
time. Taking the explanations of both gem
temen, they were on the same side and there
was as much reason for their pairing as there
would be for Keifer aud Robson to stand
aside on any question coming within the
reach of the House of Representatives.

creditable to the officers who conducted
the elections in the different districts to

contrary that they had acted fairly and

honest count Of the ballots. 1t is pro-

trial Of the Crawford County System in

some of its features, and however much

the system has been adopted. The fear
entertained at one period of the canvass
that in the Southern end Of the county,
the three aspiTants for the most impOr-
tant Offices, Legislature and Sheriff.,
would probably all be successful, was
happily removed by the good sense and
sound judgment of the voters and so
far as the locality of the candidates
nominated is concerned, a wise discrim-
inatiOu has been exercised and justice
done to all sections. It is not at ali

HOW THE STATE CHAIRMAN WAS

the election of the craftsmanship of the repub

Nominations for state officers of the party
were called, when Messrs Binkley, Flanagan,

for chairman OF the state executive committee.
Pending the calling of the ballot-roll MIR
Flanagan, in lengthy speech, withdrew in
favor of Mr.. Binkley, as did also Messrs. Car

AT the conclusion of the roll call Colonel
DeGress said:
