REPUBLICAN, PREDICTIONS.

Hoping that C1eveIand's Administration
Will Prove Unacceptable.
Republican papers, taking counsel OF
their wishes, are predicting that the
Cleveland Administration will not be-
acceptable to the Bourbon" element
of the party. They credit the President
elect with being reformer although
they bitterly denied him this honor in
the campaign; and they are certain his
reform tendency will bring him in con-
fiict with the hungry members of the
party that elected him. Even Mr..
Beecher, while believing the new Presi-
dents ''efforts at reform will be sus-
tanned by the best elements of both par
ties, thinks they will give ofense to
officeseekers in his own
1t is very easy to see what the Repub-
lican press means by the reform it
affects to attribute to Mr.. Cleveland; it
is tenderness toward Republican office
holders. Possibly Mr.. Beecher, too,
may have some such idea in his head.
But it may be Well to remember that
the President-elect is a Democrat, and
was chosen as Democrat. His cleo
ton was a declaration that the people
had enough of Republicanism and
wanted something else. His admins
tration, shaped as it ought to be by this
popular decision, will be distinctly
Democratic, just as the administrations
for twenty-four years past have been
distinctively Republican. 1t will give
the country the change it asks for. 1t
will take counsel with Democrats-thei
best men in the party-not men who,
are part Republicans, but men who are,
altogether Democrats. 1t is to be hoped
that the ''better element in the Rel
publican party will see its way clear i.
to support its policy; but, if by !
''the better element in the Republicaai !
party is meant such partisans as Mt {
Evarts, Mr.. Sherman and Mr. Edmund ,
we do not believe Mr.. Cleveland will @ :
one step out of the plain Democrat :
path to secure it. 'tThe better elemea 8
of the Republican party is not WORT :
considering in the matter. The count ,
is very tired of it, and has plainly sal !
so.
No doubt Mr.. Cleveland would coz ,
mend himself warmly to the Republics :
press If he were to allow a large bot I
of Republicans to remain in office. :
if this is the hope they are buildings ,
they will probably be rudely undeceiya :
Cleveland is reformer, indeed; but i :
will prove it in some better way thanh :
retaining a large body of Republiaa +
barnacles in position under Deap-
cratic dministration.-St. Louis q. :

Not Aims, but Work.

LONDON, Feb. 19.-Sir William Vernon
Harcourt, the Home Secretary, yesterday
received deputation of unemployed work
ingmen, who assured him that they did not
desire aims, but work. They repudiated all
sympathy with any socialistic propaganda
The Home secretary was much im-
pressed by the expressions of the depu-
tation and assured the delegates that the
Government would look into the matter
closely and consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
stimulating efforts of local philanthropic
bodies, with view of atfording larger tenn
porary relief. In addition he thought that
the Government might do something in the
way of emigration by communication with
the British colonial authorities.

improper at the same time, that is. adj
wise Democratic leaders what they
should or should not do before he has
assumed the official right to do so, it.
also vitiates the force of it's attack upon
Mr.. Bayard, and rises little, if any,
above the blusterer and common scold.
1t overshoots the mark. It arouses sus-
picion that its disappointment is based
upon something that the public cannot
see. At any rate, it is so keen that the
public cannot understand it or sympa-
thize with it.-Boston Post.

sion office, Washington d. G., to prove

or abetted the Rebellion, or served in
any capacity in the Confederate war.
Those matters | cannot prove RI, I did

that the Amnesty PROCLAMATION of Presi-
dent johnson of December 28th 1863
removed all such disabilities and have
understood that the United States

ithorities cited herein, not remove the

accordance with the request pub
9ished in our last issue, several young
men Of our town met at the depot for
the purpose of organizing a military

Tuesday night they repaired 10 Perro-
ain's Hall and had an hours drill in
which they seemed to take much pride.
Since that time the member of signera
Mas increased to thirty and there is
every reason to believe that the full

Be obeained. Let those who have

train for the past six or seven months.
the management of the Morgan Road
have at last restored 20 us the long
hoped for accommodation of separate
passenger and freight trains. On Thurs
day last, new schedule went into
effect on the road, giving us two-freight
and two passenger trains daily in place
of two mixed trains. This change,
however, has not been made through
any consideration for the people along
the line, but on account of the increased
sraffic on the road usual at this time
Of year. We are glad to see the
change, but We are almost certain that
as soon as the busy season is over, we
will be treated to the same old mix

There is remarkable tree or shrub
in a small gulch near some springs
about twelve miles north of TuscarOra.

with a trunk which, at its base, is three
times the size of mans wrist. 1t has
inDumprable branches and twlgs and
miles somewhat the baTberry tree.
But it's remarkable characteristic is It's
foliage, which at u certain season OF the
wear is so luminous that it can be PLAIN
Nv distinguished in the darkest night
for a distance of more than a mile,
while in it's immediate vicinity 1t emlts
a sufficient light TO enable person TO
read the finest print. Its foliage is ex-
tremely rank and its leaves resemble
somewhat in size, shape and color those
of the aromatic bay tree OF California.
The luminous property is evidently
parasitic and consists OF a sort OF gum
my substance which, upon being trans
ferred by rubbing to a persons hand
imparts To it the same apparently pnos-
plsorescent light, while that on the lear
entirely disappears.
