Dy the court "a superior Order, as IL
were. Make a note of this and see if he
continues to be constable appointed
by the court"
FARMER Buffers fences are sadly out of
repair.
ANDY EIcHHoLTz gives the game away
nearly as frankly as Joe Samson. The
people are "tumbling" to it.
1T would be only neighborly and could
do no harm to let Butler have the Lancas-
ter county delegates.
The "red.hot" 4" editor Of the Erami-
ner calls the "clerical editor of the
Ne,c Era "Cogliostro," and the clerical"
editor of the New Era calls the red-hot'
editor of the Examiner Dalgetty."
These able editors will have to supply
their thrifty employers with biographical
dictionaries as we'll as spelling books.
HEARTILY as we approve and sustain
the investigation now in progress by the
auditors they will do we'll to abstain from
saying what they are and are not going to
report. Good taste and good policy alike
demand this. They should not announce
their verdict until the facts are all in, and
the law has been expounded.
THE Republicans of WOlfe's county
have declared for Beaver "Jim' has
every delegate from his congressional dis
trict Hoyt derides tho idea of anybody
else being nominated, and the Press con-
cedes that Beavers election is certain
The Butler boom seems to be lost: strayed
or stolen, and Mitchell caught on just
in time TO be left.
In his anti.tariff speech in New York
Senator Vance said: "Who knows the real
condition of the Wood Screw company?
Its products are protected by a duty of II
cents on the pound, or about 400 per cent.
Its stocks is said to be worth 1000 per
cent. and the shares are transmitted by
will as precious heirloom. If protection
raises the wages of all men it is useless,
for it would leave us precisely where we
started. If it raises the prices of the pro-
tected laborer and lowers the prices of
the unprotected laborer, then the law is
unjust and unrighteous."
In the North american Reoieso for May
Carl Schurz discusses the transition state
of parties Elizabeth Stuart Phelps tells
what Revelation reveals 1t. Com. Cor
ringe has . much better article on the
navy than most that is written on this
subject; VIM. H. Mallock has muddy
philosophical and religious discourse with
A Solitary" and Gail Hamilton slashes
at the failure of medicine, religion and
law to successfully treat the Garfield
shooting. By far the freshest and time.
liest contribution is Sam Wards Days
with Longfellow.
THE Wirkesbarre Record, in an editorial
that will read very we'll after Beavers
nomination, declares that no "will simply
be tool to execute the orders Of the dy-
nasty he has so faithfully served in the
past" As the representation of a
dynasty which had made it impossi-
BILE for such as he to become aspirants
for position on their merits has disgraced
tho state and brought the party to the
verge of ruin, We must urge that every
sacrifice of individuals must be made to
kill and root out this power" whose prac.
tices are the issue cat every primary cleo
tion poll and at the general election in
November"
THE 392 National banks whose charters
will expire between this time and the end
of next February have outstanding some
$es, 900, 600 of notes, one-fifth of all the
greenback currency, secured by some
SIS, ,000, 900 in bonds deposited with the
treasurer of the United States. If they
be not authorized to renew their charters,
they must liquidate their affairs, and
either retire from business entirely or reor-
ganize under tho existing provisions of the
statute. In any case they must liquidate.
They have lent nearly $3.50, ,000, 900 to
business men in every part Of the coun.
try. These loans must be collected in.
For the time required to 90 through tho
process of reorganization every portion of
the business of the bank must be stopped,
and Congress should certainly at an early
day give promise of stability to business
by considering the renewal of the bank
charters.
In his North american article on the
navy Lieutenant Commander Gorringe
lays the blame of the actual condition of
tho navy upon the bureau system of our
naval administration. During the five
years, 1859 inclusive, the United States
spent on their navy an average sum of
$19, 157, ,239, while Italy spent on her navy
An average sum only Of 1924 ,578.
&c Every pound of iron and every piece Of
that enters into the construc-
lion of an Italian vessel.of-war is pur-
chased out of that country, while tho ma
terials that 60 to create an American man |
of-war are all made in America. We have |
svery advantage over Italy, except in the
cost of labor, and in this we are not at |
great disadvantage, for in the United
States labor-saving machines tend to
squalize the cost of results rs COMPARED
With other countries. If our naval admin.
stration had been efficient We should to-
Law possess an effective naval force double
