Friendship That Endures.

Very admirable-though very rare
is close and enduring friendship be-
tween men. Such friendship, begin
ming in youth and lasting through life,
and growing stronger and fonder as old
age succeeds youth and the grave is
approached, is friendshp only of the
noble spirits. A striking instance of
this. and one which refreshes faith in
the goodness of the human heart and
the value of human friendship. has &C.
Cured in this State in connection with
the death of the late j. NJ. Griffith. of
Dubuque-as told by the Davenport
Democrat When Rev. c. S. Seymour,
now a professor in the theological de-
partment of Griswold College, at Dav-
export, was rector of st. Johns Church
in Dubuque-which he was for more
than ten years-Mr. Griffith was one of
his wardens, and the friendship between
the pastor and layman became warm
indeed. They took tour in Europe
together three years since. and one day
while in Paris Mr.. Griffith obtained a
promise from his pastor that should he
be the one to first pass away, he (the
pastor) should hasten to his place of
death as soon as possible, and accom-
pany his remains to Dubuque, ofiiciate
at the funeral and the placing of the
body in the beautiful Linwood cemete-
". The pledge was given in the pres
ence of Mrs. Griffith, who has sent her
old pastor and friend word that the
time has come when he must fulfill it
and DR.. Seymour has departed on his
sad mission. Mr.. Griffith died in Paris
Sunday night, and Monday night DIR.
Seymour left Davenport on his mis-
sion of friendship. He will sail from
New York City on Saturday for Havrs
and Paris.
This evidence of an enduring friend
ship between two noble men is one of
which the busy world may well stop in
its hurry and read. -Iosoa State Register.

THE ISSUE,

The Independent Republicans have
made ticket which while equally as
good, if not better, than that made by
Cameron at Harrisburg, no more merits
the support of Democrats than any
other Republican ticket. When the
name of Judge Ludlow, a Democrat,
and one of the ablest and purest judges
of the State, was suggested in the con
vention, as candidate for Supreme
Judge, It was met with howls, and
cries of "No Democrat on this ticket.
While it was admitted that he is honest
and able and that the bench should
be non partisan, the proposition to put
him on the ticket was kicked out of the
convention.
This action is notification to the
Democracy that the Independents pre-.
fer to stand on their own bottom, and
instead of nominating a Reform ticket
that might be supported by all people
who desire reform, they have seen fit
to nominate a Republican ticket,
and have published to the State that
they desire only Republican support.
In the face of this, if there is Demo
crat so foolish as to waste his ballot by
voting for the Independent ticket, as
many did last fall by voting for Wolfe,
he should be promptly read out OF the
party There is but one course left for
the Democracy to pursue, and that is
to nominate a straight-out ticket of the
best men the party contains, and then
make a strong fight for their election.
The only issue between the two Re
publican factions is whether it shall be
Boss Cameron or Boss Mitchell. The
issue for the Democracy is to turn out
both factions and establish once more
a State government that is based
neither upon Bossism, the spoils system
nor reputation. These, three are the
only remaining principles of Republi-
canism, and so long as men call them
selves Republicans they must support
these principles. To repudiate them is
to become Democrats.
Cameron is mad, Mitchell and Wolfe
are determined and say they would
rather defeat the Republican party,
than to longer submit to personal rule
in politics There is no probability of
any compromise, and therefore Demo-
cratic success is almost certain.
Nothing but the most inexcusable
blunders can possibly defeat us. If
such blunders are made, somebody
should be held responsible.

General Beavers Political Record.

AS to his political record, we say
with regret that General Beaver has
not shown anywhere that he is a man
of earnest convictions as would cause
him to act with courage and indepen-
dence, He came to the Harrisburg
convention of 1878, looking for Sena-
tor Camerons favor as candidate for
the Governorship, but was then set a.
side. In 1880, he served faithfully the
conspiracy to force General Grants re-
nomination, and misrepresented his dis
trict, his State, and the whole of the
North, by voting, from beginning to
end at Chicago, in behalf of a third
term. In 1881, when Mr.. Oliver with
drew, he was selected, at toe secret
caucus of members of the Legislature
held in Senator 'Cameron's house at
Harrisburg, as the "machine" candidate
for United States Senator, but failed to
be accepted by the Republican mem
bers, both on account of the manner in
which he had been "slated" and his
previous record. In the present case,
he receives his nomination at Senator
Cameron's hands, and understands the
fact and the obligation contained in it
perfectly.-1n,ericaR.

refuse to proceed to consideration of

The House Dead Lock.

The matter over which the house of
representatives at Washington is locked
in parliamentary dispute is one which
affects the right of representation in
the highest legislative body known to
our form of government. 1t involves
the very principle which underles self p
government. The democrats Of the
house in exhausting every parliamen-
tary privilege to compel the majority
to investigate the matter properly and
fairly are therefore but simply doing
their duty, not merely to their party
but to the whole people.
The proposition of the democrats of
the house that the South Carolina cleo
ton case be referred back to the com
mittee on elections with instructions TO
investigate the charge of forgery in the
testimony, was certainly fair and just

that the proposition proves that they

The $4,000 beauty

Two young ladies living near Erie are
striving for the 100000 beauty prize offer
ed by Mr.. Barnum. They are sisters and
have agreed to share and share alike in the
event of one being preferred to the other.
Both are beautiful girls and deserve to
win. Barnum sends word that their por-
traits have been received and compare
favorably with any sent up TO date. The
eldest sister is only II and the youngest
will not be fifteen until the 9th Of June.
The senior young lady is a teacher in a
village Sunday school, and is said to be
exceedingly devout and dignified. Their
mother, who is rigid Presbyterian, is
greatly opposed to the project.

Already the republican campaign
committee of Congress, has levied its
assessments on office holders for funds
to carry on the campaign. Even the
page boys are taxed ten dollars each,
and the scrub women who keep the
floors of the public buildings clean are
made to pay assessments. The repub-
lican party year after year, declares in
favor of civil service reform, and then
puts in practice system that it con-
demns in its platform. How much
longer will the American people sub
NIT to the supremacy of a party that so
constantly ignores the principles that
it processes to be governed by?

The Reading Times, Cameron Re

The Reading Times, Cameron Re
publican, has the following:
"There is much curiosity in Penn
sylvania now to see who the Dem
ocrats will nominate for Governor.
The Philadelphia delegation is report
ed to be nearly solid for Pattison,
while in the Western part of the State
Hopkins has picked up number of
delegates. The contest will become
more earnest from the present time
until the Convention meets"
That is all true, and it shows that
no boss dominates the Democrats.
They choose their candidates in con.
vention, no back parlor arrangement
for them.
There has been no 'curiosity" what
ever about who the Stalwarts would
nominate, since Cameron gave the
command in favor of Beaverton was
there any from the date of the order
till the meeting of the convention,
everybody knew who it would be

The Coroner OF Lyooming County Criticised,

Dr. George G. Saeger is the coroner
of Lycoming county and resides in
Montoursville. Some time ago he held
an inquest on the body of an old man
named Danner, whom he had few
days previously attended in his pro.
fessional capacity as a physician. DR..
Saeger discharged the man Danner,
whose daughter sat up with him the
night he died, leaving him for few
hours to obtain rest, and finding him
dead in bed. The coroner processes to
have been in doubt whether an inquest
was necessary, and says that he only
consented to proceed in the matter at
the urgent instance of several citizens
who assured him that it was his duty
so to do. Such being the case, he
says, the inquest was held and it was
decided that the deceased came to his
death by rheumatism of the heart y
1t now appears that the coroner is to
be taken to task in the matter, and
there is no doubt but that he was over
Jealous in his action of holding the in
quest, since, to the minds of a great
many people there was no evidence to
warrant any suspicion of violence on
the part of anybody, and surely the
mans daughter had nothing to do with
his death. The old man was sick and
his taking off was the natural outcome
of his sickness; and the only shadow of
excuse for holding an inquest was the
fact that nobody saw him breathe his
last. Coroner Saeger has been freely
criticised in the matter The Philadel-
phia Times remarks editorially in the
case and Pittsburg paper calls him
"The Meanest Man Yet" stating that
he lives in Lycoming county, is coro-
ner, and swore himself as a witness on
an inquest held by himself, and charg-
ing the county for registering his own
oath.

Senator Cameron now bases his only
hope of success upon their own blum
ders. Nothing else can save him.
But the Democrats will make no blum

of the quarrels among their opponents,
nominate straight, clean Democratic
ticket and poll a full Democratic
vote. That is the best they can do.

is nonsense. 1t cant be done, And

Don Cameron is now threatening
that unless the business men stand by
him in his present fight, he will take
them down with him. He says that if
they want to stab him he is ready to
receive the blow, and will then oppose
a tariff as heartily as he has favored it.
After he is stripped of his power, his
opposition to tariff will not hurt it
much.

Don Cameron proposes to repeat the

man rule is continued in this State that
he will oppose tariff. In other words
ne has. favored protection, not as a
principle, but in order to retain the
support Of Republicans. Now he thinks
to frighten the business men of that
party into submission by the same
means that were used in 1880 1t is
doubtful whether the game will work
a second time. The simple fact is that
Cameron is badly scared, and his
emper is getting away from him.

This is easily done when properly at
tended to. A lady informs us that her furs
are never attacked by moth, which is their

literally powdered camphor and borax,
and then ties them up tightly in several
strong wrappers of papers, so as to prevent
all access by the insect. II pasted up or
placed in a bag and sewed up will of
course answer completely; but all that is
necessary, after the application of the cam
