Answer 70 Mr.. M,,,ers card.

Two terms, for good reason, was
the rule and usage OF the party. Six
years ago-after mad represented
the people Of snyder in the House OF
Representatives, at Harrisburg, for
ona term--Mr. Miller and some OF his
friends made the ONE TERM the is'
sue, and believing him to be sincere,
[ yielded and was not candidate. L
believed the oNR TERM RUJB was to
be adopted In good faith, and know
ing, too, that there are many men In
the county equally and perhaps bet.
ter qualified to represent the people
IN the halls Of legislation than, either
myself, or Mr.. Miller, I readily yield.
I'd, and turned in and supported Mr..
Miller to the best Of my energies and
,bllity. At the expiration OF his first
term, Mr.. Miller had forgotten til.
ONE TERM RULE disregarded his
promises to the people, and especially
to gentlemen who we're mentioned as
andid ites for Legislative honors,
ind totally disregarding what seemed
to be the wishes OF the party, again
pre- sented his claims and was elected
to SECOND TERN. Il desire to say
here, that II the names Of these gen.
lsmen are requested by Mr.. Miller, l
will furnish them).
At February term OF Court I had n
conversation with Mr.. Milleri In which
I asked him II he was a candidate for
the THIRD TERM, at the same time
stating, that, 10 he was, might not
b.. He then and there gave me to
understand that HE wo uLD NOT BE A
CANDIDATE. Ithen said to him, ''in
order that there may be no missun.
derstanding, II you should change
y our mind until next day, you will
let Inc know" to which he replied
that he would not be at court the
Iext day, but the day after at which
Iine he would see me-he came to
g court, but did not cone to see me,
ald thus left me under the impression
hat he was not c IN lilate AID there.
upon lannounced myself candidate.
In our conversation Mr. Miller ad-
mitted that should qave, according
to the usages OF the party, u second
term, il the party ic willing to elect
me. have here stated.the pure, sim
pie unvarnished truth.

WASHINGTON votes

Washington, Feb. 1G.-The : house
committee on banking and currency
will report a bill to retire trade dollars.
They are to be bought up as bullion, a
certain amount to be purchased regu-
larly from a fund provided for this
purpose.
The senate in executive session this
afternoon had read and referred the
nominations received for the past two
days.
Judge Smell held the defendants in
the straw bond star route cases in
$1,000 each, to appear before the grand
jury.
Secretary Lincoln urges the appropri-
alton of 999, 211 for new barracks and
additional quarters at Fort LeaVen-
worth.
The president has accepted the resig-
nation of Ward Hunt, associate justice
of the supreme court, and will nomiu-
a successor next week.
The military committee unanimously
reported back the nomination of Major
Rochester for paymaster-general Of the
army, favorably. The committee after
investigation exonerated Rochester
from all responsibility for the defalca-
ton of Paymaster Hodge. The COM
mittee declare that Rochester followed
the usual custom Of the department in
passing upon Hodges papers, and that
Rochester's record as an officer is ex-
cellent.
A member of the committee on ways
and means, said to-day be had no
doubt that the committee will report in
favor of reducing the tax on whisky
and tobacco, but did not believe the re-
duction will be as much as suggested.
He thought the whisky tax would be
reduced to about 70 cents. His idea is
that the committee will first agree to
cut down the internal taxation by GER
tain figures, and then apportion the re.
duction among various articles which
bear that tax.

New York, Feb. 16.-Thursday's
Graphic's Washington correspondent
says: The snail like progress which
congress is making has a bad effect to
throw it SO far behind the %appropria-
tions committee that it has suspended
daily sessions for the present. There
are the consular and diplomatic bill,
postofice appropriation bill, military
academy bill and another to provide for
certain urged deficiencies. The whole
work so far has been wasted in wordy
debate upon INT thing or another,
chiefly the apportionment bill, and the
Robinson resolution concerning certain
hypothetical cases of arrest in Ireland,
which had all been covered by one
adopted some days before and should
have been disposed of in five minutes.
The appropriation committee is not the
only me which has important measures
on the calendar awaiting action. The
ways and meal committee has reported
Kasson's tariff commission bill and the
internal revenue bill. The committee
on commerce has reported the bill to
regulate the carriage of passengers by
sea, and about a dozen others to make
appropriations for various public works.
The committee on education and labor
has a pending bill to regulate Chinese
migration. The foreign affairs COM
mittee has a bill to restore the japanese
indemnity fund, and the committee on
the banking and currency a bill to extend
the charters of national banks. From
the committee on public buildings and
grounds there are about twenty meas
ures providing for public buildings in
various parts Of the country, while
there are a score of important bills re-
ported and awaiting action in the COM
mlttee of the whole Of the house. From
Gen. Henderson's industrious commit
tee of military affairs and Haskell's no
less active committee on Indian affairs,
on the private calendar, there are al
ready twenty bills reported ~fsvorsbly
and ready whenever the house may see
ft to do something.

Washington, Feb. 15.-Snowden Of
the Philadelphia mint was before the
house committee on coinage to-day, in
reference to the extension of that mint,
and in course of the discussion upon the
coinage generally, he recommended
that instead of establishing branch
mints, the superintendent Of assay
offices be authorized by the government
to issue bullion certificates for bullion
deposited there. His recommendation
that the superintendent of assay offices
be compelled to receive both gold and
silver bullion on deposit On deposit and
Issue depositor's certificates in the
amount of $40 and upwards therefor,
to the bearer, and that these certil-
Gates shall at once enter into the gene
raj circulation of the country. Snow
den said this would be much cheaper
than to establish branch minis and
would serve substantially the same pur-
pose. This suggestion met with de-
cided favor in the minds of the commit,
tee. Snowden was asked II he didn't
think that the issuance of these certia-
Gates would tend to bring silver up to a
par with geld, and he replied in the
affirmative. The committee will give
this subject due attention.

CRUEL PATRICIDE,
A Daughter Murders Her Father in
Geld Blood.
Aided by Mother and Sister in Hiding
the Crime.
A Horrible Tale.

Rock Rapids, Iowa, Feb. 16.-Before
the coroners' jury, who are ~investigat-
ing the murder of John Lanahan, who
was killed while sitting near a window
Saturday night. Maggie, his Oldest
daughter, confessed that she did the
shooting. She also implicated her
neither, her sister, Anna and the lat
ter's lover, a young man named Birch.
%ne girl testified that it had been
agreed between them some time ago to
put the man out of the way" at the
earliest opportunity. Birch furnished
the pistol, and when her father came
home FROM q farmers club meeting,
and was about to sit down, she stepped
up behind her and fired, killing him in
stantly. They arranged the body so as
to appear as If some one had shot him
through the window, while her sister
