Mr.. Morrison. He won't withdraw-not bit of 1t.
He must be horizontally reduced.
The notorious 4" Dr." Buchanan, of Philadelphia
is in the tolls more just he was beginning
to build up again the bogus diploma business with
which his name has been long dshonOrably
associated. 1t is not known how he will escape
from custody this time ] he last time it will be
remembered, he became a free man by committing
suicide from the deck of ferryboat; but the water
is rather too cold for him to try that plan and
he will doubtless devise scheme. 1t is to be
hoped however. that no sham suicide will shield
him from punishment this time Such men as he
are among the worst enemies of society. His Inn
pudence in going back to his old fraudulent trade
is colossal and should insure for him the severest
possible punishment.
The paths Of Western Pennsylvania are not all

chants of the pack have mystcriously but
thoroughly disappeared. So soon Governor Pat
tIson has finished angling after the forIorn mnnow
of the Senatorial nomination in the waters Of the
Democratic caucus at Harrisburg, he might find
useful employment in measures to suppress the

liquor men would be to stop clustering about what
they will have. aud quietly take what they can

to the Baltimore and Ohio, and the companies pro

convictions against agreeing with other companies
about the anthracite coal but their consciences do
not take in bituminOus coal at all. 1t may be
