President Cleveland, it is stated, is con-

in the civil service regulations which pre-
scribe 40 years as the limit Of age for appli-
cants for positions in the civil service. The
limit will probably be extended TO 55 years.
This is merely an act of justice Most men

The New Marriage License Law.

The new marriage license law, which went
into effect July LIST, is very burdensome in its
provisions. 1t requires license to be pro-
cured in all cases, except in case of Quakers,
who may marry according to the custom of
their society, in presence of twelve witnesses,
&c., and before the Clerk issues such license,
an affidavit by one of the parties, or some
one in their behalf, shall be made and GER
tflcate signed as to the ages of the parties,
their places of residence, their color, and their
relationship. If in the course of the exami-
nation the Clerk finds the parties disqualified
from any cause he shall refuse TO issue the
license unless required to do so by the Judge
of the Court to whom the parties apply by
petition. The license, when issued, is con-
elusive to the minister, and he is relieved
from any penalties for marrying persons who
are ineligible, but he is subject TO heavy
penalty for marrying persons without Ii
cense
Two certificates are appended to the mar
riage license to be signed by the minister
performing the ceremony one of which is to
be delivered to the contracting parties and
the other to the Clerk of the Court within
thirty days.
The Clerk is also required to keep mar
riage license book which shall be a complete
record of all the items testified to for the pro-
curement of the license and of the fact of the
marriage. The names of the parties are to
be carefully indexed so that ready reference
can be had as to the facts connected with
the marriage, which record shall also be evil
dence of the marriage in the Courts of the
State. Males may marry when above 81
years of age, and females, when above 16
years. Under these ages consent in writing
must be had from parent or guardian, and
such assent is made part of the marriage re-
cord

Forest Hill, cut around his wheat field with a
scythe, preparatory to starting reaper. Plac-
ing the scythe along side of the fence he got
over the fence for some purpose. In getting
back into the field again he accidentally sprang
upon the upturned blade of the scythe, cutting a
terrible cash in his foot. The wound was
bandaged and he proceeded with his work.
During the night the wound bled profusely and
DIR. Lee was sent for. Before he could get there
Mr. Vail was almost exhausted by the
loss of blood. The wound was dressed by DR..

The political contest in England upon
the issue of Home Rule for Ireland is being
waged with great vigor. Mr.. Gladstone is
making heroic efforts to arouse the English
people to do justice to Ireland. The prospect,
however, of securing return of a majority
to Parliament who favor his views is said
to be rather discouraging. In England, more
than in this country even, elections are
carried by money, and the friends of Ireland
feel the lack of this.

MIR. RandaIrs Tariff Reform.

Mr.. Randall, of Pennsylvania, after doing
all in his power to defeat the tariff bill in
troduced by Mr.. Morrison, in compliance
with the pledge of the Democratic party in
1884, has brought forward bill of his own
for revision of the tariff. AS might have
been expected, Mr.. Randall's plan is in per-
feet accord with his record on tariff revision.
1t is true, he recognizes the fact that the
government is collecting millions of dollars
more from the people, in tariff duties
than are needed for the support ofthe govern
ment, but in his revision Mr.. Randall takes
excellent care that no Pennsylvania indus
try shall suffer by reduction of duty. In
deed, he proposes to raise the duty on some
things, in order to help certain Pennsyl-
vania manufactures.
A striking instance of this gross favortism
and one which Hartford county Gamers will
appreciate, is his proposition to raise the
duty on tin plate to 24 cents per ID. 1t ap-
pears that several firms in Pittsburgh import
tin and manufacture tin plate, for making
cans, &c. To benefit them the duty OIL tin
plate is to be increased, although it
will materially affect thousands of can
ners, cutting down their already small
profits, and increasing the cost of canned
goods and of all kinds of tin ware
The Baltimore Sun points out the insincerily
of Mr.. Randall's proposed reform of the tariff,
and says:
The universal demand for reduction of the
tariff taxes MIR. Randall aims to foil by destroy
ing the surplus obtained through internal
revenue taxes. He proposes to remove wholly
the tax on the manufacture and sale of tobacco,
and also the tax on manufacture and sale of
fruit brandies and wines This can hardly be
considered satisfactory. The people will not
accept as fair solution of the tax question a
bill which removes taxes from luxuries like
tobacco and brandy and increases taxes on the
necessaries of life. The proper title for such a
measure would be "a bill to promote bad habits
aud make existence bear more heavily upon
the poor"
Mr.. Randalrs bill is not at all likely to
pass. 1t is evident that he would rather have
no reform of the tariff unless he can thereby
secure more favors for monopolists.
