Hitherto the contest for the Speak
ership at the next session of Congress
has turned mainly on the tariff ques-
ton. The leaders in the race are Mr..
Samuel j. Randall, of Pennsylvania,
and Mr.. John G.. Carlisle, of Ken
lucky. Mr.. Randall, when Speaker
before, displayed great ability, and
proved himself able to control the
House. But he is something of a
demagogue, and rather too artful to
possess the confidence of the people.
He is a high-tariff man, and his cleo
ton would mean that Pennsylvania
doctrine is to prevail in the democrat
ic party. Mr.. Carlisle enjoys the
highest reputation as transparently
honest and patriotic politician. He
is for tariff for revenue only. His
election would mean the success of
his efforts, and those Of Henry Wat
terson, to induce the democratic par
| ty to be consistent and stand on its
| proper ground ON this question. Sc
far the struggle between the two has
been limited to this clearly defined
issue. But the whiskey men arr

A newspaper is business enter
prise, and must be conducted on
purely business principles. Men are
constantly asking favors from news
papers which mean sacrifice of space
representing money, who would never
dream of asking lawyers to take their
cases without fees, or their doctors to
take their pay in thanks. The dead
head is disappearing from other de-
ments of business life, and the news
paper deadhead, distinguished though
he may be, must follow. Newspapers
being business enterprises, must live

ANOTHER ARCTIC FAILURE

The apprehensions which we ex-
pressed few weeks ago in regard to
the fate of the Greeley polar expedi-
ton, and of the search party sent out
last June, have been realized sooner
even than we expected. Dispatches
from Newfoundland report the arri-
val there of the U. S. steamer Yantic
with the search party which originally
sailed in the Proteus on board. The
Proteus, it is stated, was crushed in
the ice, and had to be abandoned,
between Cape Sabine and Cape AL
bert in Smiths Sound, July 23d, only
three weeks after she left St. Johns.
All the party were saved and made
their way along the eastern shore of
Smiths Sound, to Cape York, thence
across Melville Bay to Upernavik,
reaching there August oath. This
voyage, which covered nearly thou
sand miles, was one of great hard
ship and peril. The open whale
boats, in which the trip was made,
encountered storms and ice and were
threatened, nearly all the time, with
immediate destruction.
| AS the matter now stands Lieut..
Greeley is no better off than he was
before, except that a cache for his
relief, containing such stores as could
be saved from the wreck, was made
at the point where the Proteus found.

Mr.. EditOr.~Some of your readers may
be pleased to learn that myself, my son
and our families have arrived safely in our
new home in Connecticut. A ride down
the Passsumpsic and Connecticut rivers
at this season of the year is beautiful,
though the early frosts have left their
marks on corn and other tender vegeta-
bles. The season, since early spring has
been dry and the late crops have been
light, especially corn. In the tobacco
growing regions of the Connecticut, the
frosts have done damage to that produc-
ton. The cities and manufacturing vii
lagos appear in prosperous condition,
and we judge the present has been fair
ly remunerative season to the manufact-
urer and laborer. Arriving in Hartford,
beautiful city, we took westward
course over elevated lands, where we
passed many good farms, orchards, etc.
In regard to this place, Sharon, I am
told it has long been considered that if a
man can get living anywhere he can
soil and genial climate. 1 judge that a
man must be exceedingly shiftless if he
cannot live in this town. This is an old
| town and so numerous and large are the
shade trees that one seems to be almost
in the forest. The streets are wide,
about ten rods, with two travelled roads
with rows of trees on both sides. The
houses and residences occupy large
squares or tracts sufficient for lawns
| gardens and small parks. There are
many beautiful places here and one ought
to be satisfied with the town and its sur
roundings. There is great abundance
of fruit here, grown in the orchards il
and about the town. From indication.
we expect to ENJOY our new situation
very much. We extend good wishes tt

Geo. w. Peck, the author of the
''Bad Boy sketches, is to have them
dramatized, and on his recent visit to
the east he signed contracts with Mr..
Chas. F. Pidgin, who wrote the IL
bretto of "The Electrical Doll'' and
"The Letter H." and these several
contracts call for the speedy con-
struction of drama from material
furnished. The sketches are coarse
and vicious, and the great demand
for them shows to what an extent
such reading is demanded by the pub
lie. Those who met him are said to
have been disappointed at finding the
author of these sketches to be so
much of gentleman as they found
him. He says his mother often asks
him why he makes such a fool OF
himself, and he tells her that it is
"because it is the most profitable
thing a wise man can do" There is

On Monday night about midnight,
the 10th inst, Prof. Swift, director
of the Warner Observatory, Roches-
ter, N. Y, discovered another comet
in the same constellation with the one
recently found by Prof. Brooks. 1t
is moving almost directly toward the
earth, and hence shows very little
motion, so that Prof. Swift found it
difficult to verify and was unable to
do so until last Saturday night. The
two comets will very likely cross each
others orbits in their progress, and
their appearance so nearly together
and within so short a space of time
is a most singular, if not signifcan
fact.

A GOOD CREED.

Senator Dawes of Massachusetts
presented the following excellent de-
claration of principles, to the late
Republican convention of that state,
which might well be accepted by every
patriotic citizen as his political creed:
Those principles have been often
declared. In National affairs we be-
lieve in equal rights and fairly
counted vote,-a thoroughly pure and
reformed civil service beyond the
reach of party conficts,-a sound
currency based on an honest specie
dollar,-a liberal but in no wise ex-
travagant or wasteful expenditures
a largely reduced taxation, and wise
and we'll matured laws to protect and
develop American industry and enter
prise, both at home and on the ocean.
We indorse the Administration of
President Arthur as wise, conserva-
tive and patriotic. AS respects state
affairs we continue to believe in :
widely diffused education,- eve
higher standard of temperance legis
lation,-a pure and extended suffrage
equal taxation, -an Intelligent re
cognition of the rights of labor a
well as of capital, and we would tax
no step backward in regard to thos
philanthropic, charitable and educa
tional institutions, in the constan
development of which our belove'
Commonwealth has ever been fore
most. All these things we have man
times asserted, and appeal to th
gradual and steady progress, unmis
takably apparent through the record
of the last quarter of century, bot
in state and nation, as proof that W
= have not asserted them in vain. w
stand ready to assert them now, an
to maintain them also.

The new method of examining pen
sion claims by the Bureau in Wash

cases will be acted upon this year.

we'd the country 81, 5000 last year,

How Watch Cases are Made,


In buying silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
silver cases is made of composition known
as albata, which is a very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in short time.
The backs of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another important point
in asilver case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not suitable metal for that purpose. In
brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The
Keystone SilverWatch Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints
