THE Dardanelle Post, that wo

THE Dardanelle Post, that won derful prodigy, calls of it's hounds from the ferry track, III which, as usual, he struck the wrong trail, and once again turns them in the race on the temperance question, but in doing so, he says he is tired, and we believe it. He says he is tired say ing the same things and hearing the same things. We believe this also, and we have no doubt that many of the good people implicated in what he has been saying, who can under stand the adjectlves he has been using, are tired too. The long and the short of the Posts position is, that it is opposed to the petition law, the three mllc law as it is called. It may not have said so, but how could those who have simply exer- cised the right to petition have come under the Posts wrath, if it had favored the law that gave the right. Who are they that are held respon- slble for the enforcement of the law etc, asks the Post2 An, yes, just as if the law to petition has not as much right to be enforced as any pet law of the Post. But we nave not tune nor inclination to say more now than merely to revert to that word prodl- gy that we started out with, by which, we aimed to indicate some thing of the character of a journal that can fight as hard as the Post does on one side while it straines as hard as it does to hold itself in good savor on the other. It has certainly forgot It's scripture about serving God and mammon at the same time. We may be pardoned for watching with little curiosity the effort of the Post after it's war on prohibition, and it's efforts against the people pc tiConing on the subject of whisky, after it has characterized those who did, as irresponsible and rehgionists, and after its editor had come out boldly for five cent whisky, after all this to try to appear as temperance apostle. Well we shall sit by and see what we shall see.

out. This will show his feelings and ideas on the agricalturallsts and their interests:
 The aim of our beneficient Govern. ment is the improvement oi the peo pie in every station and the ameli- oration of their condition. Surely our agnculturists should not be neg lected. The instrumentality estab- lished in aid of the farmers of the land should not only be well equip ped for the accomplishment of It's purposes, but those for whose benc- fit it has been adopted should be en- couraged to avail themselves fully of it's advantages.
 'I venture to hope we shall never again be remitted to the system which distributes public positions purely as rewards for partisan scry- ices" is the glst of his utterances on civil service reform. An exchange remarks upon the message;
 The Message will arouse discus sion and provoke dissent, but no one will deny that, taken as whole, 1t is very able State paper. It affords convincing proof that Mir. Cleveland is man of ideas and definite politi- cal convictions as well as a master of the art of expression, and that the Democrats have placed a statesman in the chair of the Chief Magistrate.

The World,s Champion.

Mir. Edward Hanlan, the great oarsman, and until his recent contest with Beach in Australia, the cham pion of the world, may certainly be looked upon as an authority in ey- erything affecting athletic sports. Before leaving Australia for this country, he wrote q letter in which he stated that he had used St. Ja cobs Oil with the most beneficial re suits. He found it reliable remedy for muscular pains in tue arms and limbs, and from his personal expert ence took great pleasure in recon mending 1t. No stronger proof of the truth of what is claimed for St. Jacobs oil could he furnished thao this. and it will undoubtedly carry great weight with all thoughtful and intelligent people.

Stop and Consider.

The good people of Lancaster are within
a few weeks of another municipal election.
Only one meeting of councils will intervene
between now and the time of electing an
entirely new common council and filling
three seats in the select branch.
1t will be well to pay some attention to
the record and the character of the men
who are presented and who present them
selves as candidates for council this year.
Our easy-going mayor is disposed to let the
municipal boat drift with the winds and
current and because of lack of clear
eye at the lookout and a strong hand on
the tiller. the city is approaching another
such condition of financial embarrassment
as that i'll which Mayor MacGonigle found
il.
The expiration of the first half of the
year finds some of the appropriations for Il
twelve-month overdlrawn Others exhausted
and all of them reduced in an inordinatc
degree. From the proceedings Of council
it does not appear that the members of that
body appreciate the actual condition o.
things, or that they know what to do about
it. Would it not be well to have somebody
in the city government who did

An Jpwise Irish Movement.

A movement that is said to emanatc
from Cincinnati is on foot to establish
fund for the payment of Irish members ot
the English Parliament. Major John
Byrne, late vice president OF the triSR
National League of America, is prominent
in it. and he suggests an organization To I've
known as the American Irish Parliamen-
tary Club to he composed of 10000 mem
bers, each of whom would agree to pay
IS per annum towards the support OF
Irish members of Parliament, ST. long as
Parnell continues his present constitutional
methods of fighting for Irish rights. The
project seems entirely ineXpedient. While
il would undoubtedly give II great impulse
to Ireland's cause for the nonce, it would
eventually handicap the Irish leaders 10y
making enemies of present English friends.
These over-zealous Americans should
remember that " all things come to him
who waits" Parnel has ahundantly proved
that he needs not assistance of this kind
from Ireland's friends across the water. 1t
is believed that the Home Rule
| party will get all but II or Is
| of the one hundred Irish members
| to be chosen at the next election, and it is
stated that there are seats in Scotland and
| England where the Irish vote is 50 large
| the Liberal candidates will he forced t.
| adopt Home Rule pledge.
The dawn of IrclQnd's day is near AT
| hand from natural causes. The Cincinnati
| plan can only retard it.

A woman sat down and painted pic
ture of the electoral commission, which no
private person or gallery wanted or wou Id
buy Another woman made a picture of
Gen. Thomas which has not found a
purchaser, it is to be presumed, because it
has no merit.
Accordingly both were seized with the
idea that if they put high price on their
trash, and besought Congress with
importantly they might find purcha ser
in the United States government. For
years there has been lobbying in progress
TO impose upon the government Mrs. Fas-
sett's picture of the notorious electoral
commission and Miss RanSom's portrait of
Gen. Thomas.
AT last the promoters of the scheme are
afforded comfort by bill recommended by
John sherman TO pay $4,000 for the Fas-
set picture and $4,000 for the portrait by
Miss Ransom. Neither work was executed
by direction of the government nor at its
instance; there is no obligation upon it to
buy, them, except the subjects of them are
specially fit for public eommemoration and
the works themselves are Of reexcell ence
in execution.
The electoral commission ard its work
are worthy Of execration, not of honor !;
and one half the people of the country, at
least, viii never consent to have its pro-
ceedings dignified and honored by placing
q representation OF them in the national
art gallery.
II Is not likely that an artist of Mrs. Fas-
sets reputation could make any piece of
canvas worth $4,000; and it is to be
doubted whether Miss Ransom ever painted

THE question has been recently agitated
ofprohibiting the intermarriage of deaf and
dumb persons through fear of giving rise to
the formation of deaf-mute variety of the
human race. Prof Alexander Graham Bell
is pronounced advocate of this heroic treat
ment of the subject. DR.. Il. Mathison,
superintendent ofthe Onatario y. y, insti-
tuition for the deaf and dumb, takes issue
with him on some of the conclusions Bell
has reached. He declares that while the pro-
portion of deaf-mute offspring born to deaf
mutes is many times greater than the porpor-
ton born the people at large, it is not so
great as TO cause alarm. In his own institu-
ton he has the histories of 66l mute children.
With the parents of 800 of these he IL person.

parents We're deaf or dumb There were,
however, a few niutes among the grandpa
rents. Many Of the deaf and dumb of the
institution, over which he presides have
intermarried, and in no ease has he found
the offspring unable to hear or speak. He
scouts the idea of the evolution of a
distinct race from the intermGrrage OF these

We observe that Dauphin county has

which papers of interest are read and
which is rapidly making collection of
valuable material, laying hold of the past
and wisely sei2ing upon the record of con-
temporaneous events, which can now he SC

important nor so rich in history as I.ancas'

than fifty years after the organization OF
Lancaster.
But it seems to have more public spiri
