The Delaware County Record, a
staunch Republican newspaper, publish
ed in Republican Chairman Cooper's
own county, thus fixes the responsibility
where it belongs: Governor Pattison
used but rightful prerogative and con-
stitutional authority when he called the
Legislature together to perform neg
lected duty the Senate majority
exceeded its rightful authority, unnec-
essarily prolonged the extra session by
its persistent and dogged refusal to
confer and cooperate with the Hous Q
upon the apportionment issue, and COM
mittel the additional folly of issuing
its "altimatum' that it would have it s
own way or there should be no appor =
tionment, as made and provided by laws
and the constitution.

Pay Your Tax.

Under the new Constitution of Penn
sylvania an absolute requirement Of
every voter over twenty-five years oi
age, is that he shall have paid a State
and County tax within two years of
the election at which he shall offer to
vote. Formerly this tax could be paid
on election day, and in many places
voters were meyer challenged on &C.
count of non payment of it. But now
it must be paid at least thirty days be.
fore the election, so that the only time
left to voters is between now and Oc.
tober 9th, and we therefore earnestly
urge upon all voters to make certain oi
their right to vote, to hunt up the col
lector and pay their taxes at once.
Those who paid their taxes last year
are not required to do so this year to
secure their vote, but let all such be
sure and hunt up their receipts. Their
tax required to be paid is very light
and no voter should neglect this import
ant matter; to do so will endanger his
franchise.

Ohio Hoadley's election becomes more

out there from Pennsylvania recently

election. Pennsylvania Democrats
should not wait for the returns from
other States. Get on board.

Hon. Joseph Powell.
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR THE or
FICE OF STATE TREASURER OF PENN
SYLVANIA.

The first Moravian Brethren who
emigrated to this country about the
middle of the last century, crossed the
ocean at different intervals of time, and
in larger or smaller companies. When
ever they had obtained full control of
transport ship by charter or other
wise, our forefathers never failed to in
troduce among the passengers on board
complete social and religious organi-
zation, corresponding as nearly
as might be with that establish.
ed in their congregations at home.
Hence the term used in the reports of
the day, die See Gemeinen, the "Sea
Congregations"
Regular times were set apart in these
floating congregations for their various
religious meetings; chaplains, teachers,
exhorters and nurses were provided,
and system was carried into the minu-
test details of life. Each member was
assigned to a mess and hammock com
pany, and his place and duty in every
contingency were designated. They
all felt that they formed united band
of followers of the same Lord, to serve
whom in new field of labor they had
forsaken their homes and their native
land.
The days spent on the ocean were
not to be wasted in idleness or inactivi-
ty, but must be employed in preparing,
instructing and invigorating their
minds, and in promoting their growth
in grace. Although sickness, storms
and other perils of the sea interfered
with prescribed rules, yet they carried
across the waves not only their God in
their hearts, but come OF the most
blessed practices and observances they
had been accustomed to at home. Ship,
life proved to them season of rich
mental and spiritual activity and en-
joyment, and combined as it was with
order and discipline, it had powerful
tendency to increase their bodily com
fort and well-being
The first "Sea Congregation" left
London in March, and arrived in
Philadelphia in June l742. Count
Zinzendorf himself had preceded them
about six months before, and during
twenty previous months small compan-
les, partly direct from Europe and part
ly by way of Georgia, had been their
forerunners. Some preliminary ar
raugements for their reception had been
made, and their arrival was anxiously
looked for by about twenty-five OF
thirty Brethren and Sisters resi-
dent for the time being in Pennsylya-
MIA
The responsible task of fitting out
and organizing the expedition had been
entrusted to Brother Spangenberg,
then residingin London, and the Sc
lection could not have fallen upon a
more suitable individual, for TO his
other qualifications he joined that Of
personal experience Seven years be
fore he had fitted out the first Mora
vian colony which went to 9eor'

How Watch Cases are Made.

The many great improvements intro
duced in the manufacture Of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar inn
provements in the making Of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part Of =
silver case was made Of several pieces Of
metal soldered together, requiring great
amount Of cutting and soldering, which
soRened the metal and gave ii the pliability
of lead rather than the elasticity Of silver.
Under the improved methods, each part
Of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made
of one solid piece Of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily appar-
ent, for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering softens it.
To test the superiority of the Keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one Of OF. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while case Of same
weight Of any other make viii give enough
tobreak the crystal. The Keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.
