Mr.. Blaino's Canvess.

In his tour through Pennsylvania Mr..
Blaine said very little about candidates,
but in one place he made an exception.
At LewIstown, in the twentieth congress
sional district, he told the people. ad
dressing his remarks explicitly to
protection democrats and republicans
that if they would look to their own proc
perity and tia, Of the state they would
send to congress true and tried friend
Of the protection system. and that they
would find that friend in John Patton.
At the last election Ex-Governor Curtin
was elected by a plurality OF 1887.
This year Mr.. Patton viii take the seat 10
congress with majority of I4a, In face
of plurality of more than 1880 for
Black in the counties Of the district.
Mr.. Blaine's advice was therefore taken
by nearly 1900 democrats in the
twentieth district
The surprising fact about this result IS
that it took place in the home Of Wal
lace, Curtin, Ollie and Wolfe, chief
aims OF the democratic and prohibition
parties In Union county, the home Of
Wolfe, Mr.. Patton ran ahead Of ms
party vote, and in Clearield, the home
Of Wallace, he received majority Of
eighty, while Black'a majority in the
same county is 1880.
No more significant fact than this is
noticeable in the state election. Il
shows not only the wisdom of Mr.
Blaine's advice, but that it was accu-
rately founded on knowledge that an
appeal to Pennsylvania voters in dis
trlct where labor is strong to uphold the
protective system is sure to receive
favorable answer.

JOURNALISTIC vERAcIrY.

1t is considered smart thing by
some people to Gecry the veracity of the
public press. Men who boast that they
would not believe anything they saw in
a newspaper are frequently met. That
the men who conduct newspapers are
as truthful and worthy of belief as the
average of any profession we are firm
ly convinced. Monumental liars and
petty liars, are to be found in every ve-
cation of life. That the reputation given
newspapers for being unreliable, is to a
certain extent, the fault of the press it.
self there is no doubt. There are men
found in the profession whose only
answer to argument or political criticism
is found in the one stereotyped word,
sqie." When argument fails them the
Gle" is given. Editors are human and
are liable to err and are liable to be i'm
posed on, and are liable to make mis-
takes, but the uncharitable critic who
is generally immaculate in his own es-
timation finds il easier to write the word
'gie" than any other. The editor who
habitually does this, and he is net few,
seems to forget that by such reckless and
thoughtless assertions he is stabbing
himself while aiming the darts of his
malice at another. We believe that In
honor, integrity and veracity the jour
nalistic profession will compare favor
ably with any ether. If falsehoods find
their way into print, it is through false
information, as a conscientious and hon.
est newspaper man, and there are
plenty Of them, is as careful Of a state
ment made in this way as is the man in
any other walk of life, and as a rule gen
orally investigates the iruthfulness Of an
assertion more fully than others before
making it.

1t is being clearly demonstrated that
the passage Of the oleomargarine law by
congress was not wise act, bu, was &C
complished through the influence of the
dairy interests. Since the law went into
effec, placing license on this commo-
dity, eastern butter makers have been
enabled to form a combination whereby
the price Of the genuine article has been
advanced from forty to fifty per cent. A
Law compelling oleomargaiine to be
stamped and sold as such and net as
butter, and providing for prosecution for
fraud for a violation Of its provisions
would have been sufficient protection to
the consumer withou, taxing it out of
the market. Oleomargarine is admitted
to contain nothing Injurious to the
heath. While by some i, is net consider
ed as pala,able as the genuine product of
the COW there are those nigh, here in
Prescott and all over the county who
prefe, it to the genuine article. There
is no reason why their tastes in this dl-
raxion should not be gratiiied and at
the same time those Of US who prefer to
grease our stomachs with butter should
be allowed the privilege of doing SO at
reasonable cost, and not be placed at
the mercy Of a monopoly OF butter
makers. W, have been informed by

which heretofore could be sold at

Are Niagara Falls Recedfng3
From the Buffalo Comm ercial, March 8.

From the Buffalo mmercial, March g.
The question of the rate of recession of
Niagara Falls has often been discussed In a
recent issue of the Pittsburg Dispatch Mr. Bal
lou treats the matter as popular fallacy, and
says there is no perceptible retrogression of the
falls, taking them as whole. 1t is true that in
one place-the Horseshoe-the recession is WIS.,
IDLE. This only indicates that the falls are
swinging around Goat Island, and will make
that truly wonderful natural structure
some day, with perpendicular wallis and
a roaring circular canon around it. In
order to reach Buffalo the falls must dis
place about twenty-five cubic miles of the hard
est limestone rOck-a rock that looks as if it
had actually been melted and poured into its
place twenty-five cubic miles of rock would
be sufficient to construct all the buildings on
earth and then rebuild them several times
The face OF the entire falls is about one mile
long and about 400 feet high above and below
the high water. If We accept the average wear
along the entire face of the fall at one-inch per
year we have an annual displacement 80 900
cubic feet Of rock, an amount enormously too
large. AT this obviously too great annual rate OF
recession, the falls have been over ], zoo, 900
years in arriving at their present position, and
will require over 100000 years to get to
Buffalo.

FrOfn the BOstOn HeraId.
Probably 1t can never be done, but what q re-
freshing innovation on stiff Boston propriety
to serve lees and creams at little stand in the
great foyer of the Boston theater between the
acts! The millennium will arrive before this
"happy thought" can penetrare the crust OF con-
ventonality, but if it once should, theater-goers
will wonder they were so stupid as to neglect
an opportunity that lay directly in the high
road Of the evenings amusement. Men don't
need ice cream between the acts, though il
would be better for them than what they do
take, but ladies do need It, or the breath of

into the lobby. During the opera a few ladies

We are permitted to copy the following letter,
which was written to lady in this city by one
Of the best known American naturalists in re-
Spouse to note of hers enclosing clippings
from The Palladium regarding the English spar
row. No one ever accused John Burroughs Of
cruelty to birds. He is marked among all his
contemporary writers on the subject for his un-
usual warm-heartedness and love for every de-
cent member OF the bird family. His books and
papers upon birds are read wherever English
publications circulate Therefore, he speaks
with authority. Here is his letter.
WEST PARK, NY, Feb. III have read with
much interest the discussion of the sparrow
question, in the clippings from The Palladium
which you have sent me. find that people AL
over the country are waking up to the fact that
the sparrows are O nuisance and must be put
down When they ask me what is to be done,
reply, XIII 'em, and make 'em into pot-pes."
Four and twenty sparrows baked in a pie make
an excellent dish, for have tried it. / kill all
the sparrOws i can-shoot them with fire shot
and they are becoming very shy about my
premises.
In the city should advise you to forego the
pot-pie and poison them; soak oatmeal or bread
crumbs IN solution Of arsenic or strychnia,
and sprinkle 1t in your yards or on your house
tops, or in the middle Of the streets. This
method would soon fix them. In sheer self-de-
Tense the people OF towns and cities will have
to do something Of the kind before long.
