SECRETARY QUAY, having taken
charge of the Republican state campaign,
it is at least supplied with an issue. The
battle of the bosses is now struggle for
continued control of the pardon board.
ANOTHER poxy forgery in New York
discovered. This thing is getting little
monotonous, to say the least.
THE machine had everything it's own
way at the meeting of the New York state
committee yesterday. The people will
have theirs when election day comes
round.
THE Steelton Reporter is anxious that
Senator Cameron should succeed Folger
as secretary Of tho treasury. The people
are now displaying an overweening aux-
iety to have the same gentleman buried.
As the people are in the majority we fear
the suggestion of the Reporter will die the
death O; the still-born.
"THERE is a proAigacy that invades
systems, that is wrapped up in statutes,
that has the protection of law and the
warrant of long usage. 1t is the growth
of years, has been line upon line written
into :our legislation, represents tho con-
centrated ingenuity of succession of
public plumbers and extends from the
highest department in the state to the
lowest in the municipality."- Rhtts-
sons Commonwealth Club Speech.
THE Mexican Congress has adopted a
constitutional amendment providing that
Sin the event of the death or removal of

When the Senate is not in session the

who is alternately a senator Or deputy, is
to succeed. In the case of permanent
vacancy the electors are to be convened

hitherto been an ex .Off1ciO vice president
DICTATED stockings are now said to te
the mode in the East. Digitated means,
in plain English, fingered. Tha is to- say,
the new stockings are to be foot glooves,
as it were, with separate compartments
for each toe, instead of the foot m;ttens
now worn, in which the toes are all encased
together. Tho girls are said to DO wild
after them, but this reflection should
moderate their rapture, namely, that no.
body except their mothers or their maids
will ever know, or at least ought to know,
whether they are in the fashion or not, so
long as the stern, hard, nurevealing shoe is
worn. Tho new fashion will hardly be
much of ego" we fear, unless it be ac-
companied with return to sandals or dig
itated slippers.
THERE is cause for congratulation among
the Democracy Of the entire state in the
acceptance by Mr.. Hopkins of the con-
gressional nomination in the Twenty
second district. In published letter Mr..
Hopkins gives keen expression to his
views on the pending issue, which he de-
clares to be the overthrow of bossism and
the dethronement of the corrupt power
that has so long disgraced the government
OF the state and nation. In the present
state Of affairs, Mr.. Hopkins is moro than
likely to win al easy victory over Errett,
who stands rs the representative of the
arrogant Cameron domination in it's most
vicious form. Mr.. Hopkins record in
Congress was alike honorable to himself
and to his constituents, and in his present
canvass he will have the cordial support Of
the Democrats ard Of the Independent
Republicans.
A NARROWING story of woman's cred:.
bility and mans Indifference to tho tender
passion has its birthplace in our sister
city Of Reading. A young girl with prob.
ably moro heart than head, having been
cajoled by meretricious hag into belief
in the efficacy of love potions, purchased
from the aforesaid schemer three dollars
worth Of " heb druppa" Qove drops) to
influence the waning affections of her
sweetheart. The effect Of the love drops,
which were to be slyly placed in the
young mans beverage, would be height
ened, the woman claimed, by a powder
costing the additional sum OF one dollar.
to be sprinkled upon the clothes of the
cold-hearted swain. For six weary weeks
the girl followed the directions given her,
but her labors were barren of result. The
other day she presented herself in tears to
one of the city'aldermen, toll tho tale of
her wrongs, and vowed vengeance on the
head of the woman who had deceived her.
In our age of modern civilization it is such
instances as this that serve to give
a Florentine fourteenth century edg
ing to the very matter r-of-fact course
of events which go to make up hum
drum life as we have it now, and the flavor
Of the good old days comes floating down
through the Corridors of time in a wav
that is in a sense instructive.
