What will Raum Do2

II is obvious that General Raum
enters the delicate and responsible
position of Pension Commissioner un.
der the shadow of popular distrust;
but he is confessedly able and sagac-
ious and he may command public con
fidence by bold departure in favor of
honest pensions and an honest Pension
Department at the start.
What will Raum do? He has a rare
opportunity to put the pension system
on an honest plane at once by the
prompt dismissal of the twenty five OF
thirty subordinates in his office who
Joined the Tanner raid on the Treasury
by re-rating themselves. 1t was a
most fragrant abuse of law and pre-
cedent. and if they shall be permitted
to retain their lawless pensions, or if
they shall be continued in office, the
public will well understand that honest
pensions are without friends in the
new organization of the Pension Office.
Not only should the self-re-rated
clerks, etc, be remsnded back TO their
original rating, but they should be
summarily dismissed and future pay
ments on pensions withheld until the
large arrears filched from the govern
ment are repaid. Especially should
Commissioner Raum call to prompt
account Deputy Commissioner Smith,
who rerated himself under the theft
and pocketed S6,035 of arrears. 1t
was simply a plain theft under the
faintest color of law, and 1t is a dis
grace upon our pension system that
must be speedily AID entirely effaced
What will Raum dof He knows his
duty: will he perform itl-Ilnaes.

The Prohibitionists are in earnest in
their efforts to effect q change in the
license system. Having been deceived
by the republican legislature, and later
by the Republican vote at the June
election, they have determined to put
candidates in the field of known TEN.
perate habits, and who have been warm
supporters of the Prohibtory Amend
ment. For State Treasurer they have
named Mr.. James II johnson, mem
Der of the Union Prohibitory League.
The Union League IN Convention
assembled at Harrisburg September
26th, 1889, issued the following cir
cular
"The State election this year affords
an opportunity to all friends of Pro-
hibitlon to protest against the attitude
of the two great political parties, and
give expression to the principles which
we espouse by casting our votes, for
that candidate who best represents
our principles, and will further the
interests of temperance reform in the
Commonwealth. Let there be no step
back kward.'

From the Union of Oct. 2e, 1889

"The United Labor League, some
time ago, sent a communication to
Henry X. Boyer, late Speaker of the
State House oS Representatives and
the Republican candidate for State
Treasurer, asking him to give his rea-
sons for voting against the Ballot Re.
form bill introduced at the last session
of the Legislature. To this request,
Mr. Boyer has made no reply, aud the
League, at its last meeting, adopted a
series of resolutions, asking organized
labor to manifest its displeasure at Mr..
Boyer's action.
The Ballot Reform bill was one of
the most importantly measures before
the last session of the Legislature, and
its defeat was a public calamity. Mr..
Boyer is the first of the opponents of
this measure that the lovers of honest
elections have had chance to express
their opinion of, and it would be a
warning which the political bosses
would not dare TO pass unheeded if
Mr.. Boyer were allowed to continue
the practice of law unhampered by the
care of the finances of the State"

Mixed-Up Marriages.

Henry Miller, a shoemaker who died
recently in this city, had remarkable
matrimonial career. His first wife died
in giving birth To a girl baby. He
afterwards married his wife's sister,
who also died in the course of year,
just after having born to her girl
baby. Miller was an industrious fellow
and his father-in law, a close-fs
dairyman, brought about a marriage
between Miller and third daughter.
In three years a girl baby was born
and the third wife and sister died.
The father-in law had died a year be-
fore and the mother, who was treble
mother.in-law to Miller, and he mourn
ed the loss of the dead together. A
mutual liking struck up, the result be-
ng that mother-in-law and son-in-law
Miller became husband and wife.
Their marriage was happy one
or almost three years. Then Mrs Miller
No. gave birth TO q girl baby dying
within less than ten days. After the
little one was born Miller lived but
two months. His four daughters, born
under such peculiar circumstances, are
still living. The first three are not
only stepsisters but are cousins. The
fourth. the daughter OF the mother-in-
law, is not only cousin and step
sister, but likewise an aunt, while the
grandmother was step-mother to her
own grandchildren.-Neac York World.

Only one Week More

The masses of the people don't seem
to be bothering tn hemseves about the
election this year, but the politicians o
all sides are awake to the fact the gen
eral election is now only one week dis
tant.
There is practically no contesti in this
city for anything. The Republican
city ticket is clean out of the woods,
and 1t is only question of majority
with the candidates. Both sides cham.
pion Judge PENNYpAcKER; all of one
side and a liberal proportion of the
other believe that District Attorney
Graham should be again elected, and
General Latta and Coroner Ashbridge
are serenely floating into port on a
smooth and ample party tide. Speak
er Boyer is personally popular and his
friends feel assured of big majority
In the city to protect him against any
possible political whirl or party supine-
ness in the State.
And what of the State? Well, that g
just what Field Marshals Andrews and
kisner haye been trying to find out
and can't, and Boyer and Bigler have
tried it too and hit it just where their
Field Marshals missed it. Of course
the Republicans are confident simply
because they have $4,000 majority to
protect them against the returning ebb
OF an awfully off year; but they want
to keep up big majority to start off
next years battle with whoop, and
then they don't know but that prohib-
ition, liquor, labor, or some other un-
seen and uncountable factor, or all
combind, may happen to knock them
out just at the home WIRE Or course,
they know that it isn't probable; but
when it can't be safely estimated weth-
er six. seven or eight hundred thousand
of the million votes OF the State will
be at the polls, and with new elements
OF unknown power within range of the
conflict, speculation as to the result is
simply idle.
One week more will soon pass away
and definite guessing as to majorities,
which are so Involved in doubt, might
