the main upon the report of the Commission.
AT all events 1t is the plain duty of the Re
Iublicans to make every effort in their power
to that end. If they finally fail, the country
will then know where to put the responsibility
for failure to reduce taxation, and for all the
industrial and commercial evils that nine
months of uncertainty and. dread may bring.

The public generally will applaud the action
OF tho members of the State Medical Society at
Albany BY vote of 105 to 93 they have ap-
proved the new code of ethics by which allo
pathic physicians are allowed to consult with any
legally qualified practitioner. The closeness
OF the vote, however indicates how strong a
feeling exists against the change among the
conservative members ca the profession ;
but when the new code has been in force
longer. its opponents probably will be more
reconciled to IL. So far as its practical effect
goes il will cause little change in the profess
sional habits OF physicians.

Governor Pattison still strives to he Demo-
crat and RefOrmer. His message just sent to
the Pennsylvania Legislature contains num-
Der of sensible ideas which we fearsre wasted.
The adjustment of several offices is recon-
mendcd and the Governor suggests that a law
shall be passed doing away with fees and fixing a
definite salary for official positions when practi-
cable. He urges that the Legislature shall not
make the reapportionment of the State party
matter. The latter part of the message seems
to be intended particularly for the eyes OF Anti
Monopolists. 1t is hardly to be expected that
the Legislature will follow out all these sugges-
tions simply because they are excellent. The
Governor does not do that himself

A LIVING MoNsTRosITY. - The
Waynesburg Independent is our au-
tnorlty for the following story: ON
Thursday oflast week two sons Of Mr..
il. Martin, of West Bethlehem town
ship, Washington county, called at
our office, and related to us a strange
freak, or deformity of nature, the
monstrosity being colt devoid of
fore legs. They said the colt was per-
fectly formed other than the absence
of fore legs, and that there was not
the slightest sign of these members,
the trunk where they should be be-
ing perfectly smooth. While taking
nourishment it sits erect. using its
hind LEWIS as sort of balance poles.
1t is quite curiosity. and there might
be bonanza in it to some Snowman
of the Dan Rice type. The colt was
three days old when the boys gave
us the information, and said it was
quite healthy.

Greeting from the Peoples
lyaeIsSer.

In the midst of our busiest season
we issue a few lines in the NEW Do
MINIoN. We are prepared to more
than verify any and all claims which
have appeared in its columns, both
as regards our goods and our
methods.
To those whom we have not had the
pleasure of welcoming to our store,
we would say, that it is not our pur-
pose to offer any inducement which
We cannot make good neither by lay
ing claim to superiority where none
exists, or announcing a low price
when we are unable to tfnderseil our
competitors. Our great anxiety is
that you should try rs. You never
will know how cheap first class goods
can be sold until you do. Remem-
Der it is impossible to describe the
elegance of our sales, which must be
seen to be appreciated. Bear in mind
it is impracticable to quote prices in
this paper, but an examination will
convince you they are lower than all
others. 1t will be our aim during the
spring and summer to exhibit many
desirable styles, not to be found in
other houses, which we believe will
be especially adapted to the wants of
our customers. Attractive novelties
and earliest styles are constantly com
ing in. We notice, with pleasure
among our customers, many new faces
in addition to those of our old and
esteemed patrons, which will only
stimulate us to greater efforts in meet
ing the every requirement Of. those
who favor us with their patronage.
Whatever success we have attained
both in charging cur business and
securing the confidence of our Gus
toners, we firmly believe has been
brought about by rigid adherence to
correct and honest business methods.
Allow us to explain.
HOW WE DO 1T
FIRST. Style, durability and Econ
omy we consider the three essential
features. We buy on this basis.
SEcoND.-A quick sale at small
profit will make clean, fresh stock
and contented customers. We sell
Oh this basis.
THIRD.-Polite attention. Every
article sold at an honest price, on its
own merits and without misrepresen-
tation. We deal on this basis.
Ifyou approve of these principles,
we can serve you satisfactorily. They
are the rules of this house, and will
be SO long as we remain in business.
In conclusion we extend hearty
and cordial invitation to all to come
where the best materials; the best
STYLES, the best fits and the lowest
prices are to be found at any and all
times: where your wants will be care
fully considered, your patronage APP
preciated, and where you are always
sure to find just what you want.
Thanking the public for the generous
support we have experienced at their
hands in the past, we remain.
Very truly yours,
S. ID. HRseHMAN.

are getting clamorous to know what

ton with prominent official Of the
road yesterday we learned that ar
rangements are progressing satisfac-
torly and that the work will be pushed
ahead. They assure us that there is
no doubt of its completion. We, of
course, did not ask for information
concerning the private. business Of the
company, the above being as much
as we desired to know.
Surveyors are at work on the line
of the West Va. and Pa. road in
