Adulterated Preserves.

According to the correspondent of
an English trade journal. it is mistake
to suppose that fruit is absolutely neces-
sary to the manufacture of preserves.
He describes visit to large iam-pro-
ducing factory, in which he found that
the work was being bravely carried on
without the aid of fruit at all. Jams of
various kinds We're being produced be-
fore his eyes-currant, plum, apricot.
strawberry, raspberry and gooseberry.
Yet neither currant. plum, straw berry,
apricot, raspberry nor gooseberry was
in the building. Turnips, served the
purpose of the fruit. The ,Havorino
matter was extracted from coal tar, and
the resemblance to raspberry and
strawberry lam was further produced
by mixing the boiling. compound with
small seeds with some cheap innocuous
herb. A common form of sugar is used,
and this is the only honest ingredient
of the mess. These preserves are of
fered as made from '.this seasons

feat of last week base their hope of q re-

power in 1884 on the assumption that
the victors will forfeit all their adyan-

republican paper which takes this view
is pleased that the Democratic victory

vast, 1t intimates, that the victors will
not know what to do with it. 1t saws:

Democratic incapacity for legislative
and National government. 1t is to be
hoped that their majority will be lar "a
enough to render it impossible for them
to shirk the responsibility they have as

they were previous to the election of

the morning of June 9TH, 1882, aged p year,
and some months.
Dear sister Annie now has left us,
And her loss we deeply feel,
But it's Jesus hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal
But why should we lament in sadness,
Happy with three sisters now
She has knelt in heartfelt gladness,
Where the blessed angels bow.
She has gone to Heaven before us,
And our loss is but her gain;
With her Savior she is happy,
Free from suffering, care and pain.
Let us then prepare to meet her,
When the tleeting life is o'er;
And among the ransomed greet her,
On that happy peaceful shore.

Senator Lee ON Mr. Cooper.
PHILADELPHIA Press.

FRANKLIN, June 15.-Senator j.
w. Lee is actively engaged in his can
vass for Senator and with his large
law practice. asked him what he
thought of the calling together of the
old Republican State Convention. He
said:
"The old State Convention cannot
be called together because it adjourned
sine die. The notice of Senator
Cooper calling the Convention togeth-
er is entirely irregular. If am cor
rect, he is not chairman of the State
Committee for the reason that he has
not been elected to that position.
Heretofore, it has been the habit of the
State Convention to elect the Chair
man, or authorize the State Commit
tee-and the candidates-to choose
him. The Convention of May 10 took
no action whatever in this respect, and
it is surely an act of great assumption on
Mr.. Cooper's part to call together the
dead Convention without any authori-
ty but his own. For this reason I un-
derstand, the delegates from this
county will not attend the Convention.
They may go to Harrisburg, but if
they dc | think it will be for the pur-
pose of meeting with others for the
calling of a third Convention compos-
ed of delegates selected by the people
at primary elections held the same day
all over the State, to meet some time
in August or September to name a
ticket. This is the general feeling in
this part of the State The common
belief is that the ticket of May 10 will
be defeated unless harmony and unity
are attained by some such action.
There is another point. The Harris
burg Convention did not meet the de-
mands of the people for the amend
ment of the rules governing the party
The conference at Philadelphia recon-
mended the adoption of four distinct
rules. The committee of the Conven-
ton of May 10 struck out two of those
rules and reference to the proceed
ings of the Convention will show that
they did not even adopt the remaining
two, but simply recommended their
adoption. This the Philadelphia con-
ference had done, and it was the busi-
ness of the Harrisburg Convention to
adopt them if it was intended that the
party was to be guided by them in
the future. 1t NAV be that the reason
why Mr.. Cooper has not called the
State Committee together is because
he is afraid they will adopt these
rules, or that if they had come togeth-
er they wonld not authorize The call
ng of the old Convention to nominate
1 Congressman-at-Large. d. M. b.

Will go Where He Can do Best.

A Wild Philadelphia correspondent

Our effort in the last two or three
weeks has been, in our limited sphere
to point out the necessity of new
State Convention, to heal the difficult
ties existing as to a Republican State
ticket. We have still hope that new
State Convention will be arranged for,
in the interest of peace and harmony.
If this is done bitter contest will
likely be prevented. But if it is not
done it need not affect the county
ticket or the local politics of any
county. The only trouble being on
the State ticket the county or local
tickets will be supported by the
whole party in every county of the
State, So far as we have yet noticed.
THE Philadelphia Pres, in urging
the call for new Republican State
Convention says: There is no bur-
ry about this matter. The election
is still five months distant. No Re-
publican need fear that the door is
c.osed because the new Convention is
not called off-hand. There is room for
good many things to happen in the
next few weeks, and events are
good, deal more powerful than bosses
or committees The need for a new
Convention will increase. The diff
Guilty of having one will not. The
sense and insight of even the Harris
burg Convention has yet to be tested
as body. 1t went off once without
orders it may again. The Republi-
can party through the State, as it |
seethes from week to week, is sure to |
to bring its demands to the surface.
None of these will make the new Con-
vention harder to call The ill-feeling
over split is sbarpest when it comes,
the need of new bridge is generally
felt the strongest after the neighbors
have been teaming it for few weeks
around the spot were the old one once

cannot fail to have the usual Republi-
