The PHILADELPHIA Press saws of II

The Philadelphia Press says of the
Presidents message: ellis treat
ment of the tariff is not so satisfac-
tory. He handles it in a gingerly
way at the best, as if he we're afraid
to touch it, and ends by a futile
straddle. He gives away the whole
case Of the ~free-traders, and then
falls short of rational protection.
comedies the essential principle
of protection, and then attempts to
meet the free traders half way

girls equal intellectual and industrial
training with boys. Yes, and give them
equally good health, toe. When your

The Shepherdstown Register asks
the Statesman to join il in refusing to
publish the " nasty quack advertise

publish them for the sake of the few
dollars they pay, yet they must know
that they are frauds. All such stuff
goes into u waste-basket, and we
find that we get along as well without

One of u Democratic cotempo.
raries consoles itself with the delus.
ion that the Republican party is dis
integrating and losing some Of its
better element, with the prospect
that it will not be able to carry the
county in any future election
The Republican party was never in
better fighting trim-nevcr more
definite in its ideas and policies, and
never more determined than now to
press the controlling ideas of its
creed upon the people. The simple
fact that the Democrats have the
possession of the Executive branch
of the government and its patron
age, is not assurance that it can win
another lease 0 power. Its difficult
les and embarrassments have just
commenced. 1t has no defined pol.
icy. 1t is united upon no cardinal
principle or measure of administra-
tion.-Tbe patronage it has is a
source OF weakness. 1t is distrusted
by the business interests of the couu-
try and is placed in the position OF
being responsible for the conduct of
government and exposed to the
criticism aud censure of well trained
and able statesmen who will scrut.
inize every movement and every
act of the party in power. The Re-
publicans, indeed, as it looks now,
have very encouraging prospects be-

Few persons are possessed of
that original conception of unique and
comical expressions of the human and
animal life, striking facial and incom-
prehensible bodily twistings and con-
t%ortions, which fill the ingenious field
Of speculative fancy and appear to
come crowding and jostling to the
front of the fertile imagination of our
fellow townsman, John A. Blondell,
like a riotous dream in the regions of
the Ideal, until like weird figures of
Dante's Inferno, all nature becomes a
field of living contortion. Every few
weeks he renews his singular concep-
tons and sketches them on canvas
with as much skill as the brain exhib-
It's in their creation. His latest is
worth the study of the people. Hang
ing in his window may now be found

DOWN FORGET HER,-MOre than half

DON'T FORGET HER.-More than half the
population of all our great cities is of the
feminine gender Acute business men in
some few occupations do not lose sight of
the fact and some of them have made
a fortune by remembering it. After all
the pushing and pulling which are called
"transactions" in the business world, in
which men are constantly in the front and
appear to be the moving cause, the hard
fact arrived at, by whatever patent gadgrlnd
undertakes to investigate it, is that half
the money goes for Womanly expenditure.
A woman may not eat as much as man,
but she is as large consumer in the matter
of dress, and she, as the manager of house
hold disbursements is the great investor:
We only have In the world what we eat and
drink and wear; other possessions are rela-
tive, and commonly enjoyed with others,
or else not enjoyed at all so in the methods
of civilized life it happens that our most
material comforts are shaped and fashioned
to our use by women.
The thinkers and philosophers who con-
troll the journalism of the country ought to
learn a lesson from the wiser dealers IN
merchandise who appeal with shreWder
Judgment to mankind rather than to man.
Why should the special themes which in
terest men rather than women fill up nine
columns out of ten in the daily neWspa..
pers which 90 into households hall filled
with women?
The Russians have proyerb that "there
is no family without a determined men,
ber." 1t often happens that the detern,ln-
ed member wears petticoat. 1t is never
safe to forget matter so obvious and SO
necessary to be remembered in all our CAL
culations, whether commercial, political or
social.-RecOrd.

A New SwINDLE.-The latest sWindle
relating to spurious money is the split bank
note fraud. A twenty dollar bank note is
taken, and by some ingenious method the
note is split in two, and the raw side is
"doctored up," each half is passed off as
a genuine twenty dollar note. The work is
done so artistically in most cases that it is
difficult at first to detect the fraud.-Ne0

CRIMINAL COURTS.
The necessity for some changes in our
Criminal Courts is apparent. The trial JUS
tice system, which was intended to relieve
the Circuit Court Of General Sessions by
providing inferior Courts in which petty Of
fences could be tried readily and at small
cost, has failed to fulfill the purpose which
it was designed to accomplish. tits proper,
therefore, that recommend, for the consid-
Grafton of the General Assembly, such
amendments to the law as seem most likely
to give relief to the Courts of Sessions,
while providing for the prompt trial of per-
sons charged with crime, and the speedy
punishment of those who may be convicted.
But two modes suggest themselves to me by
which this may be accomplished. These
are the establishment of County Courts, or
an increase in the number of Circuit Judges.
Careful consideration of this subject induces
me to believe that the latter mode is best
