The State Convention of Pennsyl-
vania, which was held on the 10th inst,
resulted in the nomination of Gen.
James A. Beaver, for Governor. Like
all conventions, it was harmonious
throughout, and the ticket is intensely
satisfactory to the people of Pennsyl-
yania. Senator John J. Mitchell op
poses the ticket as the work of
the machine, and the Independents
will nominate a ticket of their own
and beat General Beaver if they can.
The Independents are entirely harmo-
NOUS in their action. The Democrats
of the state will now nominate ticket
for the snffrages of the good people of
the state. The Democrats also will be
entirely harmonious in their choice of
candidates.

state nea0s items in the Milwaukee
Republican are becoming more inter-
esting every day. by that we do not
mean that there are more things hap
peningi in the state than usual, but that
that feature of the paper is being
made an important one, as it should
be. After all, what the people most
desire in paper is news, news, news.
The name of town in which we have
formerly lived or in which some rela-
ton or friend resides will catch the
eye much quicker than dark-fa head
lines upon any subject, however fero-
cious it may be made to appear. The
enterprise and good Judgment of the
Republican in this line is commend
able.

The effect of the assassinations in
Ireland are not likely to wholly divert
the conciliatory policy lately intro
duced by the Government. The mnr-
der was, however, too outrageous not
to demand that prompt and vigorous
measures be adopted for the suppress
sion of crime in Ireland. The danger
will be in the Governments going too
far-sO far that it will seem to the Irish
that the murder is laid at the doors of
the nation as body. The Irish pe0-
Pile have manifested their horror of
the crime in too striking and prompt
manner for any possible idea that they
c0untenanced the act to be considered.
The Land League and many of the
secret organizations have taken prompt
measures to express their adherence
of the CHASTITY crime, and in such
terms that there can he no doubt of
the sincerity OF the protestations.
The act was evidently one of those
freaks of criminality that is ever
ready to seize upon an occasion or an
excuse for one and plunge its hands in
blood. Had the League remained
silent, had any other than the prompt
denunciatory statements Of the act
followed, there would have been some
excuse for inilammatory action on the
part Of the government. The ordinary
course Of Irish justice, supported by
the sentiments of the people, can do
more to prevent crime than any ex-
traOrdinary court that can be estab-
liShed from outside material, however
arbitrary the powers conferred upon
it may be. The bill which has been
introduced to meet the supposed needs
of tie case will hardly prove adequate
unless it is supported by the Irish
members of Parliament.

The frequency of accidents on the
cable car road in Chicago, unless they
grow beautifully less right away, will
excite public prejudice so thoroughly
against this great improvement that
their Introduction in cities, now oh
serving the new departure in Chicago,
will become discouraged of their plan
of adopting the system also. The acct
dents are unquestiOnably due to mex
perience and Encouragement. A few
more months will teach the enterpris
ing company that is running cable cars
just what it needs to do to avoid these
accidents. Economically, it has been
settled that theyIare an improvement.
They are also an improvement in relia-
bleness. A few years will see them so
perfected and improved that horse cars
will be nowhere. These accidents
should not occur. The utmost caution
should be used to prevent them.

1t would be supposed that after en-
during all we have of the Guiteau
family, having their bad odor under
ur very noses for many months, they
would retire to their native obscurity
and allow us fresh breath of air that
is not burdened with their bad smell
But their unsightliness continues to be
brought into public view. We read of
Mrs. Scoville's lecturing tour to obtain
signatures for a Communication of her
brothers sentence, of her disloyalty to
her husband and the threatened d.
vorce suit, of ScOyille's endless sayings
on the subject of the trial and his
theory as to John w. Guiteau's infu-
thce in causing the estrangement be-
tween him and his wife. and his belief
i'll the latter's insanity. Coupled with
these are the possibilities of a new
trial being granted to the leading Gull
prit of modern times. Would that
some pit could swallow them all up
and rid our atmosphere of the breath
they breathe. Their very names stink
Scoyille, Guiteau, Guiteau, Scoyille.
When will these persons get out of
sight and their names disappear from
public print? There is nothing to the
man Sc0yille. The world would have
been the better and cleaner if he had
never emerged from that rural district
where he was wont to spend his time
before Gniteau had been heard of.
About the only thing he has done is to
make himself as conspicuous as posi-
BILE. A depraved appetite to be no
ticed, to be cOnspicuously before folks
in whatever relation is the leading
principle of his nature. In this he
shows paralIelism with Guiteau that
might lead to the belief that he is
blood relation rather than what he
seems to be, only member of the
family by marriage. The journals of
the country would confer benefit up
on mankind and greatly relieve the
feelings of everybody if they would re-
fuse to notice in any way the whole
tribe. The only thing that will be in
teresting and read with feeling of
genuine relief will be our brief SEN
tence in the papers of June 80. "Gui-
teau, the murderer of Garfield, hung

An education in happiness, pure
and simple, by Well-placed joyous as
sociations, is dazzling prospect. One
of Sydney Smiths pithy sayings was,
If you make children happy now you
make them happy twenty years hence,
by the memory of it. This referred no
doubt to the home-life. 1t may, how
ever, be carried out also in the school
life; and enthusiasm has gone the
length Of snpposing that the school
may be so well constituted as to efface
the stamp of an unhappy home. Rain

FRIDAY. MAY 10. 1882.

The Agricultural Bureau has al
ways been an anomaly in the list Of
cabinet sub-ohices. Like a stray fowl,
it has been matter Of chance as TO
what perch should be its appropriate
roosting place. There is an attempt
being made to organize a new depart
ment in the Cabinet out of this stray
office. The Importance of agriculture
would seem to demand that more am
pie provision be made for conducting
the affairs of so leading a subject in
the industries of country.

nor was a money-making man, but he
was as open-handed in the use of his
money as he was honorable in acquir-
ing it. His most notable gifts are
those Of Science Hall to State Univer-
sity and his residence at Madison for
an industrial school for girls. He was
not a man Of high learning, nor did
he appreciate the more glistening quail
tiles Of such men, or the things that
interested them. He was full of hard
headed business shrewdness, plain
spoken common sense, and honest
to the core. There are brighter names
in the history of Wisconsin, but very
few that will be remembered for sound
er judgment and integrity.

Here is one who has done so, and in
her calm eyes and gentle mien there is
nothing that is unlovely, though, per
haps, little that is sad. Her old age
will be beautiful indeed. In these
days of rivalry between mother and
daughter, in the race for beauty-prize
it is refreshing to watch her delight in
the loneliness Of a graceful girl with a
sweet face, Alternate leaf and acorn
ball, in wreath about her head, and
with fresh, gay voice expressing en-
ioyment IN every tone.

A Great Landowner.
Daniel Murphy, of San Jose,
California, who recently died at
Halleck, Nevada, is said to have
been the largest landowner in
the world. He was a native of
Quebec, and went to California
in 1874. At the fine Of his death
he owned two hundred thousand
acres in Nevada, six millions in
the State of Durango, Mexico,
and large tracts in Arizona and
California, and all of which were
devoted to the cattle business.
Only a few weeks ago, with an
other man, he purchased the
great Don Juan Foster range,
paying therefor $450,OOO, and
he had almost completed the az
rangements to buy the entire
vast cattle interest of William
Dunphy, of San Francisco. He
was the discoverer of Lake Ia
hoe, and only ffty-six years old.
THE MARCH OF ARMIEs.-The
Egyptian episode may prove
the spark which is to set Europe
in flames. Russia, Germany,
France, Austria, and Italy are so
many armed camps ready for
conflict, which, when it begins,
will grow into the greatest war
this world has ever seen. Twelve
millions of armed men are. ready
for the battlefield, equipped
with the most destructive en-
gines of war known to the mill
tary annals of the race. The
rife and riaed cannon can hit any
mark within. the range of human
vision, and so death-dealing are
all modern missiles of wal that
armies must keep out OF sight OF
each other-while the sword and
the bayonet hereafter will be
utterly useless. The smooth
bore musket of former wars adj
mitted of the charge in column,
as its range was not over two
hundred yards, and then it was
loaded at the muzzle; but the
modern asan,es de precision, now i'll
universal use, will kill at u thou
sand yards, and can be fired with
marvellous rapidity owing to the
fact of their being charged with
shot at the breech. Everything
points to a war-the bloodiest
and most eventfnl known to his
~tOry.-Demorest's Monthly.
Upon the complaint of Col.
Geo. Bliss and other counsel for
the Government in the Star
Route prosecutions, the Presi-
| dent lately removed several Off
Gals, near the seat Of govern
ment. The charge against them
is that they were in sympathy
with Brady, Dorsey & ais, and
interfered with the prosecuting
officers in the discharge of their
duties and generally did every
thing in their. power to prevent
the conviction of the accused.
Among those dismissed were
the postmaster aud assistant
postmasteEof Washington City,
the marshal OF the District, q
Government Director Of the
Union Pacific Railroad and the
Foreman of the Congressional
Record. The removal Of those
officials upon the grounds stated
is one of President Arthur's few
c~ommendable acts and it is to
be hoped that its effects will be
fully felt by Brady and his co
adjutors in the coming trial.

MANY persons take medicine for all

regard all directions and stop taking it.

throw it aside as worthless. Had it been
