THE FIELD Ar HOME.

Colonel Haynes Congressional Contest.
The candidacy of Ex-Assemblyman Il.
q. Christy Tor Congress in the Twenty
third district has thus far been productive
Of no great amount Of enthusiasm among
the Stalwart element. The impression is
gaining ground among his friends that
Mr.. Christy injured his case irretrievably
by announcing in his interviews with
newspaper men that ho had been an as
pirant for years for the position now held
by Colonel Bayne. Tho friends Of the
representative from tho Twenty. Thru dis
trict seem to bc so thoroughly confident
that he will DO renOminated that they
decline to make any estimates on Christy' s
strength.

10 votes out of tho 129. John Alexander,
\ cOlorcd delegate from the Fifth ward,
Altoona, was refused . scat IN tho con-
ventiOn. On tho sixth ballot Howard
Russ, of Hollidaysburg, was nominated
for proth0notary, but OH tho pretenco
that there was mscOunt another ballot

The FOrty-EiEhth Senatorial District.
The conference betweeen Lee and Benc-
dict for the Republican senatorial nOmi.
nation in the FOrty-eighth district, was
held at Oil City. Again, after a futile
struggle for six hours, they adjourned
without effecting q nomination. They
met again, but little hope of \ nomination
is felt. One thing is assured-that Lee
will hold out and unless nominated will
run as an Independent candidate. 1t is
generally believed that Cameron is push
ing Benedict and will keep him on tho
track at all hazards for the purpose of do.
feating Lee. 1t will make three cOrnered
fight in this event, with tho chances in
favor of Lee.

cratic standing cmmittee, J. F. Strioby
was chosen county chairman and Chas.

EVEN Simon il demoralized. In a fit
of desperation the original boss rashly
declared that the Independent move
ment was the secret work of the free
traders, and part of conspiracy to ruin
the industries, not only of Pennsylva-
mia, but OF tho whole country. And
this stupid rubbing of q raw place just
when Cooper was congratulating him
self upon having got Don's threat to
"smash the tariff" finally eliminated
from the canvass, isnot proving salutary
to the StalWaxt cause.

NEsB1T, the colored brother of Al
toona, has his reward. After cutting
wood and drawing water for the Repub-
licans for many years he aspired to 60 to
the Legislature from Blair county, and
yesterday got 9 votes out of 12l in the
Republican convention. Last week he
was made igurehead in a colored state
convention to deliver the negro vote to
Beaver, and few weeks before he was
made an appendage to Cooper's com.
mittee. Now, when he comes up for
more substantial distinction, thus he
gets it. Lo! the poor African.

A mysterious letter, purporting to give
the details of a murder, and which was
found in the waste paper box at the
depot, in Buffalo, N. Y, was published in
the papers, but was generally regarded as
a hoax. 1t now transpires that tho letter
in question was the property of one ol
Buffalo's detectives, and was confession
of one of the parties implicated in the
murder OF man named Sage, at Brant
ford. Ont, about two years since, and
which, up>to the present time, has re.
mained mystery. Sage was treasurer of
a school district in the county of Brant,
Ont, and was last seen at Brantford on
Saturday, and his body was found some
two months late in the river. The SUD
posed principal, j is believed, is in Mon.
tana territory. 9he person, an accom-
plice, who made the statement, has been
in Jail at Bradford for some time.

ALTHOUGH tho aggregate Of the foreisn
immigration to this country during the
past year was by far tho largest owe,
known, it was not ne-half the total Of the
regular annual increase Of our native pop
u!ation; and it is further pointed out that
as tho latter increment grows much taste,
than the foreign immigration possibly
can, the aggregate Of tho addition to oul
native population by 1890 will bo twice as
great as the foreign influx. So there il
not much danger of the blasted "iurrin
ers'' over running the land.
THE most jealous defender of tho late
president from tho accusations brought
against him by the Stalwarts says thai the
pretended memorandum that tho Sun
iiourishes as proving that Garfield made i
bargain when in New York. is only ga
proof that a parcel Of bargaining poll
ticians wrote dowr evidence at loast OF
their own duphcity? Tho great bargaincr
Of them all, Mr.. Conkling, wanted to he

trade, and Garfield did not 20 there, say
ing he did not want to DO president badly
enough to do So"
"NEARLy all of tho money taken from
the treasury is spent among the poorer
classes" say the river and llarbor robbers
in justification of their votes for that in
famous measure. But pray wl,cro does
the money como from? It como from
taxes taxes greatly in excess Of the
needs of tho country taxes the ultimate
burden Of which, as every ccOpeinist
knows, is borno by " tho poorer classes ~
in tho enhanced pricc Of their lodging,
their clothing and thoir food. Aud how
is tho money disbursed to "tho poorer
classes ?" Under tho supervision of tho
political machinists and for the purpose of
re-electing to Congress tho congressman
who voted it out OF the treasury! Tho
argument won't do.
SOMEONE writes to our esteemed bucolic
contemporary, the Germantown Telegraph,
that he has horse twenty-five years old,
which was badly foundered in his youth,
and in consequence has not been Of
much account during his lifetime. Tho
venerable equine last spring began to
manifest unaccountable friskiness and a
disposition tho play with tho other horses.
The correspondent discovered the reason
of this sudden change of conduct in the
appearance of new hoof on one of his
feet another quickly came, and now he
has an entirely new set of understandings.
His lameness is gone, his appetite is good,
and he is as fat, sleek and beautiful as a
horse of three or four years of age, and
can do regular days work at plowing,
moving or any other farm work. The
delighted owner saw him galloping over
the pasture like colt the other day.
This is certainly an interesting fact for
farmers, as the spectacle of broken down
hack taking on the bloom of youth at the
mature age of twenty five is not one fro
quently witnessed.

THE statement of the Nec Era that
the fire bugs demand protection from
polluted pot t,house politicians is serious
one, but not hard to believe. There has
been close connection between the vio-
lators of the election laws and of other
criminal statutes, and if the prosecution
of the best workers " for one crime
will lead to the sources which inspired
them to others all good citizens will re-
jOice at our double deliverance.

that President Strong of that company
has been in poor health for long time

THE T4RTFF CONFUSION.


There has been q great deal of ridi-
cule Of the tariff commission, and state
ments made concerning it which have
no foundation in fact. 1t has been jok-
ingly described as lively party Of
elderly gentlemen who were frolicking
about the country, having good time
at the public expense. After all it
seems that this pleasantly was rather
ill-timed. The commission, it is said,
have really compiled an exhaustive
report, which, when printed, will make
volume of over two thousand pages
AS yet there has been no
opportunity TO examine the report
in detail, since it was placed in
the hands of the printer Immediately
after its presentation to congress, so that
only general idea Of It's work can be
formed. The impression prevails at
Washington. however, that its work was
thoroughly done, aud that a well di-
gested bill covering its recommendations
was also prepared and submitted with
the report. II is understood that the
subject has been so thoroughly sysIema-
tized that congress will be enabled to
act promptly and intelligently. The
printed report viii, OF course, disclose
the truth, and If our present informa-
ton is correct. the commission Is en-
titled 10 the thanks OF the country.

Hon. J. B. Grinnell, of Iowa, who has
spent his life on farm, is reported to
have spoken his mind the other day as
follows: "After 0 quarter of century
of observation, conducted amid all the
ups and downs of the markets in the
time, know of no sober, painstaking
breeder and raiser Of cattle that has fail
ed by reason of the season, or its bring
ing of drought, flood or frost, or who
has failed in finding fair return for his
labor in his improved herds, not only
attaining full compensation, but, in
many instances, competency for old age.
He, clinging to his herd, has found a
profit for his labor, while many sheep
man has been left without credit, while
hog raisers have made and lost fortunes
in few years The cattle interest is
greatest of all industries in this country,
and when properly conducted never
fails"
