The State Convention.

The Republican State Convention
meets at Harrisburg this day, Wednes'
day. Not for long time has State
Convention came SO directly from the
Republican people of the State The
will of its people will therefore be re-
spected and carried out That will is
for James G.. Blaine as our next can
didate for President. We look for the
Convention to instruct for him by an
almost unanimous vote, and the voice
of Pennsylvania will be potential ut
Chicago on June 3.
The duties of the State Convention
will be, among others, to name the six
Dclegates-at-Large to represent the
State in the National Convention.
Every district in the State has seen to
the selection of its own district dele
gates. This will leave but the six
Delegates. at Large Tor the State Con-
vention to choose. We have no doubt
great care will be taken in their selec-
tion by the friends of Blaine, and none
but his known friends sent to Chicago.
The Convention will also hayc the
settling OF the Electoral ticket; the
nomination Of Congressman-at-Large
for the State, and the naming of the
State Central Committee, one for each
county.to conduct the coming campaign
in this State This latter, however, is
always done on the recommendation of
the members in the conventionfrom each
county. We look for harmony and
union in al the proceedings of the Con-
yention.

in the stomach. The jap fell over on
his side winded and in bad shape Be-
fore he touched the floor, however,
Ross slipped and his hand touched,
which gave the bout to the Jap. Time,
one minute and half.
The excitement was intense. 1t was
fully five minutes before the referee
could announce the result of the bout.
The Jap was led down stairs to his
dressing room by Harding He walk
ed poorly and was dizzy and weak. He
sank into a chair with the tears stream
ing from his eyes. He moaned piteous-
ly, and held his hand over his nose and
stomach alternately.
The japanese cyclone was complete
" knocked out. Harding returned and
announced that the Jap was done. The
referee called time and then ended the
match in favor of Ross, who takes the
stakes and the door receipts.

The Tariff on Wool.

WASHINGTON, April THE Con-
verse bill, to restore the tariff on wool
to the rates Of 1867, came up yester-
day. Mr.. Mckinley, of Ohio, made q
strong speech in favor Of it, as did also
Mr.. Converse, one of the Democrats
from Ohio, who promised the people
that If the Democratic party was placed
in power it would restore the rates on
wool Mr. Morrison opposed the bill
bitterly, as did MIR. Hurd, the latter as
serting that he would rather take of
the entire duty than raise it one cent.
The vote was taken by ayes and nays.
The Democrats with few exceptions
voted against the bill, while all the Re-
publicans except twelve, who were
mostly from Massachusetts and other
Eastern States, voted for the bill 1t
was beaten by vote of 126 to 119.
The vote on the bill serves to put the
Democrats on record. The campaign
in Ohio last fall was waged largely on
the issue of the wool tariff The Dem.
ocrats promised that early in the pres
ent Congress bill would be passed to
raise the duty on wool to the old tariff
of 1861, and now, after the Democratic
majority has avoided month after
month meeting the question squarely,
it promptly votes it down. 1t has
served 10 show the Ohio wool men
that they allowed themselves to be
duped by the promises Of Democratic
stump orators, all of whom promised
that so much would be done for the
poor wool growers by the present Con
gress.

In the Long Ago.

From Pittsburgh Dispatch Of llth, inst
On Wednesday evening at sunset the
Jewish feast of the Passover began.
The origin of the feast can be seen In
Exodus, where the following answer Is
given to the question as to what Is
meant by the service: at is the sacri-
fee of the Lords passover, who passed
over the houses of the children of Israel
in Egypt when He smote the Egyp-
tians, and delivered our houses" The
festival begins on the l4th day of the
Hebrew "Nisan," which corresponds
to our month of April, and continues
for eight days, and this year will close
at sunset of next Wednesday. 1t is
looked upon in a religious and joyful
spirit by the Hebrew people. In
ioyful light because of a deliverance
from bondage of their forefathers: and
in a religious light, to give thanks to
the God who thus delivered them. 1t
is enjoined upon the Hebrews to rest
from manual labor on the first and last
DAYS of the Passover, and this COM
mand is rigidly kept in their native
country. In America it is not, how
ever, as a general thing, observed,
though in Pittsburgh many of that re-
ligious persuasion kept to their belief
by resting from work. Services were
held Wednesday evening and yester-
day, and will be held each day of the
feast. Preparations are made for the
celebration by general house-clean-
ing.
But the most particular and rather
penitential observance of the Passover
is the use during that time OF only un-
leayened bread. This observance also
has it's origin from the facts given in
the Bible about the escape of the Is
realities from Egypt. For long time
Pharaoh, the Egyptian king, refused to
let the oppressed people depart, but the
last plague, which was the killing OF
every Egyptian first born, 80 affected
him that he ordered them to leave at
once, and they left, taking with them
their kneading troughs and the dough
therein before it was leavened, after
they got outside the gates they took
this dough and rolled it into thin cakes
baked it in the sun, Their defendants
keep up remembrance of this by use
ing during the feast ofthe Passover on
ly unleaven bread, which is made sim
ply from -four and water without the
other ingredients and concomitants
which people usually put into the mix
ture. This bread is usually obtained
from New York, Philadelphia and
Cleveland, but this year firm in Pitts:
burghh has prepared some. 1t must
be very carefully made; other dough
must not come in contact with it, nor
must it be mixed.in ssels..used formerly
to knead other kinds Of dough. Any
one can, of course, make such bread if
he or she be careful enough to keep it
intact from any leaven. But all other
kinds of food arc allowed.

One Primary Over.

One Republican primary III this
county, that for the election of delegates
to National and State Conventions, Is
now over and the result is satisfactory
TO all. When we urged upon the peo-
pie, through January and February and
March last. the importance to them OF
holding on tightly to the powers gwen
them By our new rules in the selection
of these delegates, we were answered
by Republican journal of this place,
and by some others, that the people
cared nothing about it and would not
attend to that duty. What was the
result? More than two thousand voters
of the county did turn out and did at
tend to the matter. And the result is
that the new rules are now fairly and
fully put in practice and will continue
TO be So
Another primary, and one far more
important, is now approaching, that OF
May "a. At this one nearly full set OF
county officers are to be nominated.
Among them is Judge of our courts,
members of the Legislature, County
Commissioners and others, all OF which
are of special Importance to the people
at this time. The chief interest so far
naturally centers upon the nomination
of the Judge. But for this, we think,
there should be but one question for the
Republican voters at the primary to
decide, and that is, who is the fttest
man ? Who has the best legal learningf
Who is most competent to sit in judg-
ment upon the legal rights of our citi.
zens? In one sense this Office should
be non-partisan. But political parties
make nominations. And the import.
ance of the Republicans making a ht
nomination on May "a, can not be over.

Mercer County Nominations.

The Republicans of Mercer county
met in county convention by delegates
on Tuesday of last week and put In
nomination the following full county
ticket:
For Judge, S. Ii. Miller; Congress,
]. J. Spearman; State Senate, Samuel
Mcclure; Assembly, J. W. Russell, H.
A. Harsh, T. B. Roberts; Sheriff, T.
L. Williams; Prothonotary, A. IL. Nc

W. j. Mckay; District Attorney. &.
E. Patterson; Commissioners, VIM.
Beatty, NJ. w. Alexander; Poor Direc-
tor, Imbrie Zuver; Auditors, James ).
Wall.ce, w. l.. Mercer
The vote on the Judgeship was sub
mitted to the test of a popular vote, by
the instructions to the delegates at the
primaries on the same, and which
resulted in the nomination of Mr.. Mil
ler, present member in Congress for
this district.

Crawford County.

The Republican nominations Tor
Crawford county were made last week.
DR.. W. B. Roberts, who was again
candidate for the Congressional nomln-
alton, is beaten by Mr. Charles w.
Miller, of Meadyille, by 203 votes; the
vote standing for Miller 1853; for
Roberts 1866. DR.. Roberts had many
warm personal friends in the district,
but this result, we suppose, ends his
aspirations for Congress in this pres
ent district.
Mr.. Miller is . new man, and, should
be receive the district nomination the
singular case would be presented OF a
Miller succeeding a Miller in this dis
trict. All three counties will present a
new man this time, and
there will be a new
deal all around, without any of the en-
barrassing questions connected with
former district nominations.

Building the New Court House.

We are informed that plans and
specifications for the building of our
new Court House will not be ready be-
fore June, or possibly July. The Com
missioners have been visiting other
counties to look at their Dewly erected
Court Houses, and yesterday morning
started for Huntingdon, Pa, to see the
Court House of that county which is
represented as one Of modern style and
convenience.
In the meantime it is intended, we
learn, to tear down and remove the
material of the old building. But the
contract for this should be made public
by the receiving by the Commissioners
of proposals or bids, the same as for
any other part of the work to be done.
1t is in fact a part and parcel of the
work of erection, and the person doing
it should be interested in the preserva-
tion of the old material. The contrac-
tor for the new house would therefore
be one most interested in removing
the old one, az he could remove and
save the old material to the best adj
vantage, both for the county as well as
for himself. More will likely be saved
to the county in this way than by Civ
ing out the work in separate parts.
But, in either way, proposals should be
received and an opportunity given for
public competition in the removal of the
old building, the same as for the erec-
tion of the new one. In this public
way only will the taxpayers be satis-
fed that all is being done in an open
and fair manner.
