Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1882-02-22


nate State ticket in Altoona to-day,
Wednesday,
THERE are al kinds of runors from
Washington as to political combina-
tions between Northern and South
ern politicians.
NV York people that are rich are
eating tomatoes, cucumbers, dc, that
are brought into the market from the
Bermuda Islands.
LAST Wednesday 100000 bushels
of wheat were sold in the st. Louis
market, and sent by water, by way of
New Orleans, to England
"A COURT MARTIAL for the trial of
Sergeant Mason, who shot at Gui-
teau, will meet on Monday, February
20, at the Washington Barracks"
THERE was a great furry in wheat
last week. and prices went down be-
low expectations. A number of deal
ers broke up in grain dealing centers.
The colored citizens of Harrisburg
are agitated because the Republican
Mayor has not given the colored race
representation in the police force of
the city.
TIE lower House Of Congress has
passed Congressional Apportion
ment bill, based upon the late census.
The whole number of Representa-
tives shall be 325.
TIE discussion of the question of
fact that .'naturalized American citi-
zens are in jail in Ireland without
having had a trial, is awakening a
good deal of interest in Congress.
Some Congressmen are warlike in
their utterances, others declare that
Ireland to be free, must free herself,
others want the President to hand in
eto Congress all the correspondence
between Great Britain and this coun-
try that has taken place on the sub
ject BY and by Congress will get
to a point on the subject.
TIE reputation scheme in Virginia
seems to be consummated by legisla-
tive enactment. In 1850, at the time
the Republican party came into power,
the State debt in Pennsylvania was
about S40.000,000 The develop
ment of mining, manufacturing, and
railroad corporation interests has
been the cause of the reduction of
the State debt in this Commonwealth.
The tax here has not been direct, but
indirect. No such development hav-
ing taken place in Virginia, that State
still founders in the debt slough,
unable to meet even the interest.
IL such counties of the State where
the Republicans have not elected del
egates to the State Convention,
lively interest is manifested in the
election OF such delegates, by the
friends, respectively, OF General Bea-
yer, and farmer Butler. The gentle
men named are the prominent candi-
dates for the nomination of Cover
nor They are both good men, and
whichever one receives the nomina-
ton, and the election, will doubtless
administer the affairs of the State to
the best interests of the Common
wealth. If Butler carries off the
nomination he viii receive the active
support of the farmers to degree
not often equaled, for lie is a practi-
cal farmer Ii Beaver secures the
nomination he viii awaken the active
cooperation of the soldier, for he
goes around with the BOYS on Re
union days. Both are uncommonly
strong men,
The Mormon question has spread
itself beyond the confines of Con
gress it is discussed and con-
demned almost everywhere. But
there is another phase of life
among the people that is more wide
spread, and fully as destructive to
the one-wife marriage relationship as
is Mormonism 1t is the divorce
business. Divorces are so easily oh
tanned now, that when man and wo-
man tire of each other, the marriage
bonds may easily be broken through |
the agency of the courts. In Erie
county, in this good old Common
wealth SO divorces We're granted |
within the past year. Erie county is
only mentioned as an example of the
pernicious evil that has invaded the |
family life of the people. In Illinois
250O divorces were granted last year. |
The frequent granting of divorce has
already produced its fruit, which may
be seen in every county, by married |
people separating, and again marry
ing other parties.
EVERY time that the Tribune at
tempts to put in word Of defense
for its denunciation against the edi-
tor of the Sentinel and Republican for
having admitted to his columns com
munications on the church question
il sinks deeper into the slough of un-
fairness. In the issue of February !
4: 1882, it said, speaking of the
church question:
".Nr. Parker and onrseif hare refused
ana shall continue TO refuse communica
tiOns from both sides Of that question"
In the next issue. that OF February
II, 1882, it contradicted the above by
saving:
"We hare many personal friends an
The Lost Greek congregation, and one of
them, rho Is a leader on their S,de Of the
controversy, tras told By as If he aDanted
70 be heard Through our paper he could
hare space, but uce deprecated such dis
cuSSion. No boss IA that"
In last weeks issue, that of Feb
ruary Is. 1882, it makes an effort to
get out of the miserable and pitiable
position that it has placed itself in,
by contradictory imbecile writing.
