1t is said Captain Howgate the flu
gitive ex-Disbursing officer of the
Signal Corps, is negotiating terms of
surrender with the authorities here
through friends. He is supposed to
have stolen over $3.50, O0O, 900 during
his term of office, which it is common
ly understood certain Federal officials
shared. These officials are now said
to be scheming either for Howgate's
absolute pardon or for a lighter pun
ishment, through fear that if the az
fair is not fixed up SO, the hiding
Captain may emerge and will expose
them.

The Green County Republicans are
up on their hind legs raising an un-

The Republicans like to have the col

New York Commercial Advertiser.

Mr.. Percival N. Willard, of Cincin-
natl, is M ofthe members of the Ohio
Republican State Committee. In
speaking of the municipal and county
elections he said: Republicans in
Ohio have every reason to congratu-
late themselves upon the indications
of a victory this autumn. The ticket
in the field, or rather the men whose
names will appear upon the tickets,
are persons who are not politicians in
any ofthe word. They are bust.
ness men, whose names are the syno-
nyms of success. A large number OF
Democrats who are discontinued with
the Presidents policy are joining the
Republicans on the minor elections,
and we cannot by any possibility fall

Mathew S. Quay, a machine politi

Mathew S. Quay, a machine politi-
clan with a very unsavory record, was
nominated by the Pennsylvania Re
publicans as a candidate for State
Treasurer. MI. Quay is hardly the
kind of a man to handle the funds OF
such a treasury as a great State like
Pennsylvania accumulates, but he
being a boss in the councils of the
Republican party Of that State his
decree that he should bs nominated
had to be obcyed. There are grave
scandals and gross delinquencies at
tached to his former connection with
the State Treasury which have not
been forgotten, and which will prob
ably become more widely known be
fore the campaign draws to a close.
In former years he helped to make
the Treasury the great political lever
of the State; he introduced into its
management methods which were
reckless, if not eve worse, and il
elected he would not depart from his
former practices. For these reasons
alone every citizen of Pennsylvania
who loves honest government, and a
careful and conscientious admins
tration of the public funds, should re
fuse to vote for him. While Presi
dent Cleveland is occasionally turn
ing a rascal ous, don't let the people
turn one in.

The immigrants arriving in the
year ending June 80, numbered 122,
013 less than during last yea, and
401, 701 less than in 1882, the year of
the greatest immigration. The great
est number from any country were
from Germany, which showed less
falling off from last year than any
other large contributing nation.
These figures indicate that the de-
preston now general both in Europe
and America has affected immigra-
ton largely, and that Germans feel
more competent to face the present
u~nfavorable condition than other i'm
migrants.

honest reform in the civil service by
turning the creatures of bossism out,
and putting Democrats of "honest,
sturdy partisanship" in, in order that,
as Mr.. Cleveland Gays, we may realize
a Legitimate partisan supremacy" in
the interest of the whole people, for

Treason.
New York World

What, what, what! What's all this
about a Republican State Convention
in Virginia resolving to care for the
disabled ex Confederate soldiers of
the Old Dominion? Is not this the
worst form of treason? The new Adj
ministration al not put a poor and
needy ex-Confederate into a small
Federal office without exciting the in
d%iguation of nearly every Republican
newspaper in the land. And yet the
Mahoneite Republicans are in favor
of publicly providing for the sons of
the State who were shattered in the
effort to break up the Union. We
pause to hear from the New York
Tribune.

To a man up a tree, no matter what
its hight, it certainly looks as though
Ohio would be lost to the Democracy
next October if President Cleveland
does not in the meantime make q
number of removals of Republican
federal officers. All over Ohio, can be
found intelligent, earnest Democrats
who are open and avowed in their de-
termination not merely not to vote at
all, but to vote the Republican ticket
next October, if a certain class of Re
publican officials are not removed.
And they mean it too.

Queer Things ia Politics.

Politics continue TO be queer. The
son of Henry a. Wise, who hanged
John Brown, and himself a young
man who fought vigorously in the re
bellion, is supported zealously by
Republican papers for Governor Of
Virginia, though he is the lieutenant
of Boss Malone and identified with
population. If Gen. Fitz Hugh Lee
leads the Democratic party he will
doubtless be denounced by some of
these same organs as a rebel briga-
dier" and an enemy OF the Govern
mcut.

John Sherman, who voted to con-
firm Longstreet, Mosby, Alderman

Cabinet of which Rebel Brigadier
Key was a member, and whose asso
Citations with Malone and Rlddleber-
ger have been the closest, says il
makes him sad TO see the rebels get
ting Office. So long as the objection
to rebels is only that they r Dem

is manifest.

The Supreme Court of Illinois lays
down the principle that the sale of
Intoxicating liquors is a common-law
right ofthe vender, and in this respect
like the common law right to sell
anything else. The court added that
it is competent for the Legislature of
any State. unless restrained by some
provision in the Constitution thereof,
to subject the traffic to regulations
or wholly abolish tie right of sale as
it exists under the common law. This
view has repeatedly been taken by
the courts Of this country.

Let US see, Georgia is conceded to
be a Democratic State by a pretty
robust majority. One hundred and
two out of137 counties in the State
voted for prohibition, and the other
day the Legislature, by a vote of111
to %, enacted the measure. This is
certainly an argument that Prohibi-
tionists can never secure prohibition
until they knock the Republican
party IN the head.

Republicans say, shat political

The Republican Legislature in 1881
repealed all restrictions on the sale of

unconstitutional. The same Legisla-
ture made the Scott Law. In the
mean time, all was Republican rule

it has been known for many years
that hogs which have free access to
coal mines or heaps of slack or refuse
coal are not subject to cholera. The

farmer can readily test it's virtues"

Expert testimony in cases where
insanity has been the defense for
crime committed has become to be so

The Average Girl.


Our School houses, seminaries, lib
erty, home and social customs are pro-
ducing a better class of the beautiful
creatures called "girls" than former
days have known The great states
men or philosopher is no more result
of his age than is the girl resultant
of the many causes which may surround
her formative mind. 1t was once OF
little moment what became of woman
in her child hood or maturity. 1t was
assumed that natures laws were busy
in the manufacture of such valuable
mortals as statesmen, artists, kings,
doctors, and gentlemen, and that woman
in her different phases Of life, was
made in the beginning and little cared
for afterward. AS the Jews had Jehov-
ali all to themselves and handed all the
heather tribes over to the caprice OF the
devil, so a man as masculine being
employed the full force of nature and
permitted woman to subsist upon the
crumbs which might happen to fall from
Dame Natures table. Woman came
down to our age more than half-starved.
1t is now confessed that causes affect
all things, and that sparrow lives un-
der the laws of the universe just as tru-
ly as that Dante or Webster is the ex-
preston of his period. The girl to-day
is therefore a new form of human
nature, because new influences can not
but bring about new shapes OF charac-
ter. The girl who is enjoying to the
full the liberty of education and best
form of American social and home life
is really an object to be admired. Her
vivacity, her industry, her wit, her taste
and her kindness are such as to compel
the notice and admiration Of an anchor
lite. The liberty and equality which
are the cardinal ideas Of the country,
have helped the modern girl away from
servitude just as truly as they have
helped the slaves to escape the old yoke
which they and their fathers had worn
for centuries. The daughter Of fifteen
can converse with her father and moth
er and mature friends, Fear has de-
parted without taking away her modesty,
and without bringing in reign of ego
tism and disrespect. Terrorism was al
ways blemish in society, whether it
existed between man and servant, hus-
band and wife, parent and child. Force
is the law of brutes, and hence terror
ism belonged to the brute kingdom and
came into mans world in times when
the wall was not high between the ami
NAL and the human.-Pyof. SAVING.
