The Philada. Press published a
lengthy article last Saturday about
an imaginary division among the Re-
publican State Senators, and intima-
ted that the Reading Railroad would
organize the Senate on Tuesday next
in its own interests by the solidDemo-
cratic vote and the aid of four Repub-
licans. We happen to know that the
man who wrote that article is entirely
off his equilibrium. The Senate will
be organized by the unanimous selec-
ton of Senator Benz. Vail, of Union
County, as President This is admit
ted on all sides, the wild-eyed cores
pondent of the Press excepted.

THE PRESIDENTIAL YEAR.

The wear 1884 is likely to be one of
the most interesting, politically speak
ing in the history of the country. A
great campaign is at hand, during
which the question of tariff, Southern
domination in Congress, and the re-
dictionary tendencies of the Democratic
party will be discussed as they never
were discussed before. 1t will be a
hotlv contested campaign, one in
which the utmost strength of the two
parties will be fully tested. The Re-
publican party has controlled the Gov
ernment nearly quarter of century
it has governed it wisely and well.
Through its efforts the republic was
brought safely from the furnace OF
civil war, a free people. To the Re-
publican party more than to any other
human agency is due the need of praise
for the prosperity which prevails in
the land. 1t is important then that
the Government at Washington should
remain in the hands of that political
organization.
The best way to bring about such a
result is to educate the voters through
the public press. The PIONEER will
continue to advocate and maintain the
principles of the great party which
saved the Union, because we believe
that in the main it's policy lis for the
best interests of the nation.
In order that we may put the paper
within the reach of all, we have con-
cluded to club the PIONEER with the
Philadelphia Weekly Press, the finest
and best Republican weekly newspa-
per in the country.
The Press will lead in the ngnG 1O1
protection. One important feature OF
its work will be the highly valuable
letters of Joseph D. Weeks, of Pitts
burg, the well-known Secretary of the
Western Iron Association, who has
spent the past year in Europe studying
the wages of workingmen, and the
cost of living in Europe, as compared
with America.

For the PIONEER.

BRIDGETON, Jan. l, 1884.
MESSRS EDIToRS:-While most peo-
pie are enjoying the holiday season,
the workmen at the Cumberland Nail
and Iron Works are made unhappy by
reduction of wages. This is not as it
should be. The iron trade is just as
active and prosperous as it has been
for several years, and there is no good
reason why puddlers and nailers wages
should be reduced. 1t is rough in
deed when men who receive but small
wages at best are compelled to suffer
these periodical cuts. And, by the
way, do you know whether the Nail
and Iron Company reduced the wages
of their Superintendents and other
officers, who draw large salaries?
QUID.
In reply to correspondent we can
only say that we have no knowledge
as to whether the ten per cent. reduc-
tion affected the officers of the COM
pany. If it did not it ought to. Off
GERS who have large salaries ought to
be subject to reduction of wages the
same as the workmen. If it is right in
one case, it should be right in the
other. EDS.

A happy year to everybody, includ
ing the man out in Hopewell township,
who tore an engraving out of the new
Cumberland County history, merely
because he didn't like the person whom
it represented. 1t is hoped that under
the benign influence of the New Year
his nature may be shorn of its harsh
places, and his heart made better. Let
him remember the quotation: Love
thy neighbor as thyself."

James Mendham, of Hestonville, Pa,
died last week from the effects of swal-
lowing a tin tag that had been at
tached to piece of meat that his wife
had bought. 1t is surprising that a
tag half an inch by three quarters
could pass through several hands from
the butchers stall to the victims throat
without being noticed until the fatal
wound was made. The tags ought not
to be used at such risk to life.

Nearly forty years ago the Conan

captivity Cynthia Parker. A few years
afterward she married q Comanche
chief, and of this union son named
Quinah was the fruit. Gen. Sui Ross
recaptured Cynthia Parker, and she
returned to Texas much against her
will, and died. Her son remained with
the tribe, and is now their chief.

After looking at it intently for some minutes
she handed it back to Ann and closed the door.
Shortly afterward she heard Maria going
down stairs.
cts very strange, but I always knew she
was deep. What if she should settle right
down here. What would people think when
l have insinuated that she was rather dazed.
Well could say did it for the purpose of
keeping people away, as she was engaged in
literary duties and did not wish to be dis
turbed by society. 1t would make her popu-
lar, and then that would help the girls. How
ever, she must not fill their heads with queer
notions. To be sure it did no harm for the
girls to take lessons from that French MILL
ner, as long as she paid for it. 1t saves quite
large sum for u.s."
The stranger departed and Maria returned
to her room Mrs. Danforth could ascertain
nothing for several days, as Maria was very
reticent about it. But one morning Maria
handed them some wedding cards-her own.
Was there ever another girl like her to
keep their affairs to themselves. Turning to
Maria her aunt said: II hope you will act
like other people. With your means alone
you could live in grand style"
Maria heard her patiently through, then
informed her that 'sDr. Lee would resume
his practice in Circleville; had merely been
abroad on business during the past year.
They would live in the homestead" mentally
adding she preferred not to make herself and
her home stepping stones for her aunt.
Now we will leave them all, Fred happy in
the thought that he is to live with Cousin
Maria, for time at least. Dottie expresses
herself as determined to start in business in
Circleville "and make such loves of bon
nets" Miss Dimple is pleased with ill their
plans, but as she chances at her own rosy,
dimpled features in the handsome mirror is
still more pleased with-hersef. Mr.. Dan
forth still reads his paper and sips his coffee,
occasionally stopping to listen to some bit of
news or complaint, then with the PARKWAY
look in his eyes dons his hat and coat and is
gone.
AS for Ann she brushes away tear, while
she mutters: "It's sorry day for me jist
when the loikes of her comes no more in this
house. An its afther Citing me discharge /
hope I'll be, an its follerin arter her I'll be
jist, that will, as sure as me names Ann
Maloney, that it is"
Faint and hollow is the sound of the gilded
metal against the ring of the pure gold.

THE OHIO FLOOD.

THE OHIO FLOOD.
BY CHARLES NEAsE.
For days and nights together,
The rains continuous sound
Was mingled with the roarings
OF waters all around.
From all the hills and mountains,
From never ceasing rain,
Come dashing, foaming waters,
To inundate the plain.
Thus fed the old Ohio
Is spreading far and wide.
And ruin marks the pathway
Of its resistless tide.
The merchants, wise and wary,
Have moved their costly wares,
And scores of helpless households
Are crowded up the stairs.
And more have left their dwellings,
Their neighbors' homes to share,
Or gone to some old howell
To seek for shelter there;
While others still are driven
By the ever-swelling tide
To save their lives by tenting
On the hills wet, sloppy side.
There, sad and wet and hungry,
They spend the night, the day;
They see their houses, tott'ring,
May soon be swept away.
While some, already floating,
Are anchored to the shore;
And scores are gone; their owners
Will never see them more.
All! who can know the sorrow,
The wretchedness and woe.
Which only those who suffer
Can ever fully know?
Enwrapped in wretched squalor,
Oh. hear their piteous cry!
IS In rain and mud we weller;
Oh! help US or we die!"
Let those who now have plenty
Divide-a little give;
Send us your pound or penny
To help these suffers live.
