be governor has veto power and we
,ever expect to hear of Gov. Pattison ap-
proving such q steal a. this.
TIE Christian Onion has come to the
,onclusion that the Democratic party must
be looked to for political reform.
IT is manifest that Cameron has had q i
violen. recurrence of the teothache. A
few more such attacks may induce him to
his determination to not re
sign.
DURING the twelve months which ended
on January 31st 1883. our. imports of
merchandise amounted in value to 4752,
727, 1857, and our exports for the same
period were $7ss, ,s7s, 400.
THE expression " can any face of brass
hold longer out,' should invalidate all
claims to the originality Of an expressive
slang designation of a popular element of
American life and credit it to the omnis-
cient bard of Avon, who seems to have
supplied all our needs in verbal represer-
tatiop.
The Senate this morning at 1890
reached a vote on the report of the con-
ference committee on the tariff bill and
agreed to it by 80 yeas to 81 nays. All
the Republicans present and impaired, ex-
cept Cameron, of Pennsylvania, and Van
Wyck, of Nebraska, voted yea, and all the
Democrats, except Mcpherson, Of New
Jersey, voted nay.
JOSEPH Cooks Boston audiences are so
good that when he asks all who are Chris
tians to rise the entire company of proba-
bly, three thousand persons stood ur.
Then he asked those who were not con-
verted at time of special religious awak-
ening and effort to sit down. Those who
remained standing were estimated at four
ssvenths of the whole number.
THE Law and Order Society" of Phil
adelphia aims to have existing liquor
laws enforced, and more thoughtful citi-
zens agree with it that it is the quickest
way to remedy intemperance. The pro-
prietors of licensed places which are con-
Quoted under the restrictions of the law
have also discovered that it is the interest
of all orderly houses, where the law is
complied with in the proper spirit, to
make common cause with any citizens
committee in closing out a crims nursery
wherever it is proved and found.
THE Pennsylvania railroad report for
the last year shows that the business of
the main line amounted to $50, ,S7S. III, an
increase, as compared with 1881, of $3,.
1S9.953. This traffic yielded the company
net income of $40, 131, 718. This income
is reduced by net loss on the New Jer-
sey division of S56S, 759, making tho ulti-
mate net gains for the year $40, 199, S04.
From this sum the dividends for the year
of 81 per cent, Sc, 800, 715, were paid; also
5000, 900 to the trust fund for the purchase
of the company's securities and sundry
advances to auxiliary companies, leaving
balance on the years business, to the
credit Of profit and loss, of 81, $50, $50,
which, added to the previous balance,
gives the profit and loss account at the
close Of the year credit balance Of s12,-
194, $50.
IT is related that in Millersville the Re-
publicans ran two candidates for inspec
tor and elected them both, but the over
conscientious election officers deemed this
such violation Of the spirit of tho elec-
ton law that they issued certificate to
the Democratic candidate, whose vote fell
below that of either of the other candi-
dates. Creditable as this was to their
hearts it was SO plainly in violation of the
law that they reconsidered it the Demo
crat refused to 60 behind tho returns and
now there are three certificates out for
the two places. The two Republicans
were legally elected, but in the nams oi
all that is honest at elections what does
John II. Landis' district want with two
Republican inspectors? In the Eighth
ward of this city the Democrats never act
the hog in that way.
OSCAR WILDE is next season to play in
conjunction with Marie Prescott, in a
drama which he has written, both to as
sumo the leading roles. Here's like to
be a good presence of worthless" but the
apostle of the ethereal will prove the better
one, though both are prominent and
neither can act Marie Prescott has sought
to attain fortune and fame by assiduous
and intelligent study, but she long ago
overreached her histrionic abilities through
the urgency of her ambition and fell la
mentally short of what even an indulgent
public expected. Alone she cannot win
success with Wilde she may acquire
wealth, for the common inclination of
Americans to witness the multisudinous
oddities of life will doubtless tempt rep
etition Of the assemblages, though not the
homage, which SO remuneratively reward
ed the asthetical Englishman during his
visit to our shores. Like Mrs. Langtry,
he has had material evidence of our dis
position to indulge the popular propensity
to behold the curious at unstinted cost,
