The signs now all point to an
early break up of Pattison's extra
session of the Legislature. Only six
Democrats could be found in the
Senate, a few days ago, to vote
against an adjournment on the 21st
inst, and although the House has
SO far refused to concur, its Demo
cratic members are very uneasy and
will undoubtedly soon make a break.
Senator Wallace, and other leading
Democrats, make no concealment OF
their disgust with the policy of the
Administration which is rapidly de-
molishing the party, and has made
Republican success a certainty.

The people of Pennsylvania have
daily cause TO realize the fact that
they are paying too dear for their
whistle. Three thousand dollars,
daily thrown away, for the expert

Is rather costly. They can, howev-
or, comfort themselves with the as
sursnce that it will he long, long
time, before they will again permit
q combination of demagogues and
disgruntled politicians to mislead
them into similar folly. Bought

The members of the Republican
County Committee, should remem.
Der that it is their duty to see that
all Republican voters are registered
and a tax assessed against them.
They were elected not as ornaments
merely, but for the purpose of at
tending to the interests of the party.
The LIST day of September is the last
one on which this important duty
can be performed.

THE Democrat of last week, takes
its little fling at Senator Longeneck-
er, charging him with absence from
his post of duty; with being bossed
by Senator Cameron, and thinks
him a very poor speculation for the
Independents. This petty caviling
at the personal course of Legislators
is simply intended to raise dust, to
distract attention from the criminal
waste of money caused by the Gov
ernor's folly in calling this extra
session of the Legislature, and the
assinine attempt of his partisans to
bulldoze Republicans into surren-
dering their rights, by a persistant
refusal to adjourn. AS a matter OF
fact our Senator has missed but two
sessions since the extra session be-
gan. True he did take trip to the
oil region, after the Senate had ad-
journed for the week, and came back
on Tuesday when that body again
met; and we submit, that it is none
of the Democrats business where the
Senator spends his time during adj
journments. If that journal is en-
ployed as whip" to look after abb
sentee Senators, it should be chasing
after Wallace, Hall, Coke, Wolver-
ton and Vandergriff- Democratic
Senators, who have been absent a
large portion of the entire session.
The startling discovery of our neigh
Dor, that Senator Longenecker is a
Stalwart, because he consistently
votes with his party, is remarkable
only for its duplicity. During the

THE Ohio liquor league has resolv-

much about it.

Warming to Captain Rhoads.

BUFFALO, n. Y. August 15.-An
open letter has been addressed to
Captain j. D. Rhads by the Canadian
authorities stating that any at
tempt by him or any other persons
to swim the whirlpool rapids will be
looked upon as coming from an in
sane person, and that they will be
prevented from carrying it out SO far
as taking the water from the Cana
dian shore is concerned. Capsain
Rholes, it is stated, visited the place
yesterday, and he concluded not to
make the attempt.

The Ohio Republicans are fight
ing to win, and their chances of sue
cess have wonderfully improved Of
late. Their position requiring liquor
dealers to pay a license, is strong
with the people, and the exposure OF
Judge Hoadly's purchase of the
nomination for Governor, is rattling
the Democracy. The Republican
campaign is an aggressive one, and
is bound to win.

that street cars are not a necessity,

IfGovernor Pattison is truly report
ed, the people are likely to get a
good deal more light on his profess
sions of economy. He has already
cost the State several hundred thou
sands for which there is no valid ex-
cuse and is now costing it about
$1,000 a day for his extra session.
But he now gives out that the State
is rich and can afford to keep the
Legislature indefinitely. 1t will be
a popular doctrine for his poor
Democratic friends in the House,

explain at the polls next Novem-

THE CAUSE OF DEATH.

His trouble was structured of the
neck of the bladder, occasionally by
an unusually enlarged prostate gland
producing complete occlusion, which
had stubbornly resisted the ordinary
appliances. Previous to his uncon-
scious state, among his last remarks
were that he thought he had more
work to do in this world, but was
perfectly resigned to the will of God
showing his belief in that Supreme
Being who judges the living and the
dead. The funeral services will take
place from his late residsnce, at 5
o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. His
remains will be inferred at Prospect
Hill Cemetery, Of this place where
he has a family lot.

JUDGE BLACK DEAD,
THE TOUCHING STORY OF
THE CLOSING HOURS.
AND NOBLE LIFE ENDED.

YORK, Pa, Aug. 19.-Judge Jeremi-
alb S. Black died 2 o'clock this morn
ing. The recent report of the physi-
clans had aroused an expectation
that their distinguished patient was
on the way to recovery, and the
comparatively sudden news of his
death occasioned a profound sensa-
ton. His genial, kindly manner
and his innumerable noble qualities
made him favorite with all classes.
There is not a man in this communi-
ty who did not take pride in the
fact that he was townsman ofJudge
Black. The whole community had
grown to look upon him as a father,
and intense feeling at his death is
showed by the many sad faces that
were seen upon the streets to-day.
WHOLE TOWN IN MOURNING.
His life and his service to his coun-
try and to his party were the theme
of conversation everywhere. In the
pulpits prayer was offered for the
bereaved family and the lessons from
his noble, upright life were spoken
of more than one pastor. The whole
community mourns his death as an
irreparable loss. Judge Blacks Sc
rious illness dates from Tuesday one
week ago, but his physicians perform
ed a difficult operation with great
success and had strong hopes of his
recovery until yesterday at noon,
when he was suddenly taken worse
and from that time he gradually
sank until death relieved him two
hours after midnight. All his family
were at his bedside except Mrs.
Clayton, his daughter, wife of Col.
Clayton, who is on Government duty
in the West. He died in an uncon-
scious state.

The ovation which President Ar
thur has everywhere received on his
Western trip, proves the strong hold
which his sterling manhood has
gainsd for him with the masses OF
the people. The President does not
require reelection to make his
triumph over the trying and adverse
circumstances which surrounded his
accession to the executive Office. BY
his exquisite tact and unvarying
courtesy, by what he has not said or
done, as well as by what he has said
and done, and by the breadth of his
craftsmanship, that lost sight of both
faction and party in consideration to
country, he has grown steadily in
the confidence of the people and
commands their warmest regard and
most enthusiastic plaudits. All hon
orable men, without regard to party,
wish the President delightful trip.
a well-earned rest, and safe return.

THE BARNARD-BURR ELoPEMENr.
Neither Mrs. Barnard Nor Miss Burrs
Mother Believe in the story.

The bureau Of engraving and printing is
considerably excited over the supposed elope-
ment of Mr.. John b. Barnard and Miss
Blanche Burr, who are employed there. The
lady and gentleman left the city about two
weeks ago at about the same time, and the
gossips Of the bureau have been busy crcu-
lating a story OF clopcmeuL Inquiry at
the bureau and among the irieuGs
of both parties revealed nothing to
sustain the supposed olupemout aud murh
indignation was manifested. Both parties
are well known, and have boz no good rcpu-
tatous. Mrs. Burr, the mother ot thr young
abous, but secuted the idel of an cIOpe-
ment. Mrs. Barnard who, assisted by her
daughter, young lady oi about Is, keeps
fancy and notion store on NJ street, West
Washington, stated to reporter that she
had perfect confidence in the fathfulness of
her husband, and that she felt no unoasiness
whatever on the subject; that her
husband left for Kansas City, Mo-.
by the way Of Philadelphia, for
tho purpose of looking into a matter which,
if 1t turned out iavorably, would be the cause
of the whole family leaving here and joining
him in Kansas City; that he has been in con-
slant communication with hi, family since
leaving. She ates that If Miss Burr, who is
an acquaintance of theirs, visiting them quite
socially, left with Mr.. Barnard it was solely
to have his protection as a friend to her place
of destination, either Wilmington or Phila-
dclpha. Immediately upon hearing of the
rumors about her husband and Miss Burr, she
wrote to him, and would not be surprised to
see him return as quickly as possible
