Carliale'n Plan.

81 have long desired to have
some method of voting for president
that would enable the majority of
the people to elect the president.
The vote of the states need not be
disturbed, but law may be passed
to give this vote a different express
sion. In the forty-ffth congress l
was one of a committee, composed
of Gen. Butler and others, that con-
sldered this question. My propo-
sition was not to give the entire
electoral vote of state to one set
of electors, but to give each their
proportion, according to the popular
vote in the state. For instance
Kentucky has thirteen electoral
votes. The state votes democratic
Give the democrats first the two
electors at large, and divide tn
vote among the other electors, givini
the democrats their share in propol
tion to the democratic popular vote
and the republicans q share in pro
portion 10 the republican popular
vote. / think this could be readily
done, and the people would elect .
president Of their choice.-Speake

Attention to Strangers.

The following suggestions from a
newspaper of another town we think
are peculiarly appropriate to the
citizens of Pulaski. While our cit
Izens, as rule, are courteous
enough, they do not seem to feel the
Importance of showin g visitors who
come with view of locating here
that attention which they have a
right to expect:
There is a decided lack of cour-
tesy and attention paid strangers
who are constantly in our midst, by
citizens of this place. If they want
to know our advantages, and we
have many, they are answered in
monosyllables, and in tone not
calculated to favorlbly impress Wis
TORS and prospectors. We should
cultivate all such men, and com.
mittee appointed by our city coun-
ell, whose duty shall be to receive,
welcome and endeavor to induce
them to become citizens ofour city.
A stranger is sure to form an opin-
ion in nerfect accord with the man
ner IN which he is received by citi-
zens of town or city, and ii treat
ed with an amount of cordially and
interest will be pleased and i'm
pressed with that people. We
should encourage capital and immi
grafton, but if we sit down with a
lazy, careless, don't give cent look
upon our faces we'll never accom-
rlish anything in that direction.
We must "get move on ourselves"
go 80 work with that end in view,
and in twelve months time we will
be sure to see the results Of such
course.

Uounterfeiter's Fate in China.

Two coppersmiths out of employ
ment in Hanknw privately formed
little. company to make copper
cash, and oegan their operations fol
some reason by melting down abou,
eight pounds of imperial copper
coins. The band had made bu,
little progress in their secret trade,
having only manufactured altogeth
er some 10000 coins, equivalent to
little more than So when they were
captured. tried and condemned.
According to the report, the ring.
leader was sentenced to immediate
decapitation for melting down coin
of the realm; the next, who had as
sisted in the work of coming, was
sentenced to decapitation after i'm
prisonment; while two others, who
polished the spurious coins, and the
last, who acted as bookkeeper, were
treated not IS principals, but as ac-
cessories, liable to transportation to
Turkestan and employment as
slaves to the troops here-a fate be-
lieved to be worse than immediate
decapitation. Some other men, who
seem TO have had nothing to do
with the coming itself. but acted as
domestic servants to the principals,
received sentences of three years
banisment and hundred blows
each. -Pekin Gazette.

Whltewash.


The American calls the report OF
the honorable gentlemen compos-
ing the board OF pension inspectors
in the Pearcy case "Whitewash."
Call it what you please, it is sim
pie justice to a man over whose in
nocent shoulders a certain clique
in Nashville were trying to stab
a higher official. They would sac
riace the good name, peace and
happiness of q hundred innocent
men to give one fatal stab to
man who is 80 far above them in
honesty and integrity that they
dare not stand up openly and bold
ly before him and make the thrust
uncovered. Whitewasb, indeed
This sort of whitewash ia better
than singing from behind the black
and shiny slush.

TIE Birmingham Age-Herald
wants TO see the removal of pcliti-
cal power from New York, to some
other state, Suggesting that If We
did not think so much of New York
as pivotal state, we might have
better success. We have allowed
New York to dictate and domi :
nate the democratic parry long
enough. There is too much corrup-
tion in New York to make 1t safe
to turn over the control Of party
affairs to her politicians. It has
been illustrated in every election We
have had since 1861. The next
time the party makes . nomination
for president, let him be taken from
the west-or at least from some
other state than New York.

new postal cards will be issued to al

and will contain no more writing
than do those now in use.

Warden Pearcy justified.

prisoner and wounding Of another,
about which such a big to do was
made by the American and other
opponents OF the present state ad-
minlstration, was handed in to the
governor Wednesday. In this re-
port they exonerate Warden Pear
cy and the guards and say in sub
stance that the killing was justifi
able. Instead of convicting War
den Pearcy of cruelty they say the
only fault to be found with him is
that he is, perhaps, too lenient at

The origin of Leap Year.

The custom observed every fourth year
Of permitting the fairer sex to assume the
rights and prerogatives appertaining to
to their brothers during the remaining
three, is very ancient one. When 1t
originated Is not definitely known, but a
law enacted by the parliament of Scotland
in the year 1888 is doubtless the first statu-
tory recognition Of the custom. The law
was as follows: "It is statut and ordaint
that during the reiGe of her maist blssit
megestie, ilk fonrh year, known as leap
year, ilk maiden ladye, of bath high and
low estait, shall hae liberty to bespeak ye
man she likes; albeit, gif he refuses 10 take
hir to he his wyfe, he shall be mulcted in
ye summe of ane undis or less, as his estait
mott be, except and avis gif he can max it
appear that he is betrothit to aims ither

The occasion was the marriage of Mrs.
Erwin's only daughter, Hannah, AID Mr..
Eugene d. Tewksbury, son of E. M.

The wedding cards had been sent on
their mission of invitation fortnight ear
lier, and in response about sixty guests
intimate friends of the happy couple
came to honor the occasion. When the
hour came Miss Name Seaborn took her
place at the organ and played the wedding
march.
The beautiful bride was looking her
prettiest, dressed in handsome light sat-
in, while the groom was "manly looking
man" clad in suit of black. Rev. Ham,
lin, pastor of the bride and groom, in a
brief and pleasant manner pronounced
them man and wife. The bridesmaids
were Miss Martha Tewkshury, sister OF
the groom and Miss Ida Hughes of Newlin
The groomsmen were DR.. j. W. Erwin of
Shenandoah and DR.. G. L. Erwin of Cata-
wissa, both brothers of the bride.
The table laden with bountiful provision
now invited our attention and how shall
We describe that wedding feast We
forego the task.
The presents were numerous and costly
showing low highly the contracting parties
were held by their many friends. The
newly welded couple took the evening
train at Catawissa for Wilkes-Barre, visi

groom's father. From there to Philipsburg
