lived to span that distance In little moro
than too hours, and yet the STRENGTHENING

warrants the hope that even that fast time
may be beaten. No doubt . great many
things are said nowadays . about the marvels
OF electricity, and the doubtful prospects OF

quite as foolish to those uttering them q

fulfilled but surpassed.

WASHINGTON d. O., May Fl, 1888.
Mr.. EDITOR; Although the tariff de-
bate still continues in the House many of
the best speeches of the week were de-
liYered to empty seats, the various State
conventions that have been held during the
the week having called majority of the
members out of town. The question that
is now being discussed by the representa-
tiyes of both political parties, is as to
whether 1t will be policy to vote upon the
bill Immediately after the close of the gen.
eral debate, or to pospone final action until
after the conventions are held; and, while
there are in both parties earnest advocates
of the proposition to postpone final action,
the prevailing sentiment appears to be in
favor of immediate action, and it is probable
that vote will be taken immediately after
the close Of the debate.
The annual convention of the National

DEPARTMENT COMMANDER FRANK j.
Magee, Of the Grand Army of the Republic,
has Issued circular to the order urging
general observance of Memorial Day, thus
teaching "by our example that devotion to
country and flag is worthy of imperishable
remembrance" He also recommends
that each Post attend Divine worship on
the Sabbath preceding Memorial Day and
Join In thanksgiving to God for continued
peace, prosperity and happiness. These
arc admirable suggestions, and it is pro-
bable the one with reference to Devins
worship will be generally acted on, and
made part OF the beautiful custom which
has marked the observance of Memorial
Day in the past.

THE PROPOSITION TO LENaTHrN THB
term Of President to six years and to make
the President ineligible for second term
has been revived. The increase in the term
would reduce the disturbance to business
caused by Presidential elections, but the
limitation to one term is of doubtful ex-
psdisncy. The people could safely be left
to determine that for themselves in indi-
yidual cases. The idea that it would lessen
the interference OF Office holders in the
choice to be made is fallacious. There
would be just as much scheming to name
the successor AZ to secure second term.
The political history Of the country has
shown this in the application of the un-
written law against third terms.

The great gathering Of Pennsylvania
Democratic warriors At Harrisburg, on
Wednesday and the amlcable and thorough
" satisfactory manner In which the affairs
Of the convention we're managed conclusive
" proves one significant fact, namely, the
State Democracy is better massed and bet
ter able TO cope with the adversary than
they have been in any previous years dur
ing the past decade. President Cleyeland's
policy of taliff reform and his administra-
tion of governmental affairs generally was
approved with but little objection on the
part Of the delegates.
The convention was the most quiet and
orderly that has assembled at the State
Capitol for a number OF years. Resolutions
were adopted calling for revision Of the
present heavy, onerous and oppressive
tariff laws; that the public lands, the COM
mon heritage of the people, must be pre-
served for actual settlement by the people,
and lauding the Democratic party for re-
claiming much of the public land; that the
surplus principal should be applied TO a re-
duction of the public debt, and that the
President should have absolute power to
purchase bonds in advance of their matur-
ity; the Democratic party faYors full justice
to the American soldiers and sailors and Ia
the widows and orphans of the men who
died for the perpetuation of country's
honor; the Republican party is condemned
for its failure to reduce the State tax rates
by equitable and judicious legislation; the
same party is also condemned for its failure
to enforce the laws against corporations
etc. Sympathy is expressed for the op
pressed in the old world, and greeting II
sent to Gladstone, Parnell and Davitt il
their efforts to establish home rule.

Notice IL hereby given that an alteration
er amendment to the rules and regulations
Rsyernlng the Democratic Organization In
Carbon county will be proposed at the next
Democratic County Convention, in accord
ance with Article 10th Of the Democratic
Rules adopted In 1870, so as to abolish the
present delegate system and substitute the
so-callsd Crawford county system. We
give this notice at this time because editor
Rauch Of the Mauch Chunk Democrat, In
last weeks issue makes the following time
ly and sensible suggestions bearing directly
upon this point:
CAS- 1t IL an admitted impossibility 10
formulate conferee system that will fair
" represent the number Of voters In each
county without giving Northampton abso-
lutte power over all the rest why not cut the
waiter short by adopting the Crawford
county system, to enable every Democrat
In the district to cast his ballot direct for
his fayorite candidate. There would be
neither conferee pocketing nor rotten bor-
sugh representation in that. II would be
be an open, fair and square submission OF
the Congressional question direct to the
people, where by right 1t belongs"
The principle here set forth is just as
sound when applied to county Offices. II
