"SWeet Home"

"There is no place like home" runs
the old song, and we know how true
it is
Go where we will-encounter men
in whatever circumstances we may
we shall be apt TO find that a refer
ence to their homes will immediatly
secure their attention, and will give
you favor in their eyes.
The impressions made in the home
are lasting. A mothers words never
pass from the mind. A fathers coun-
Gil remains fresh as long as life lasts.
The last behediction of parental love
and solicitude-with what tenacity it
clings to the memory when almost all
else has gone.
How important, therefore, that the
home be maintained intact as long
as possible-a haven of loving
counsel, of peace and Joy to the grow
ing children. How sad when death
invades, when the fire goes out on the
hearthstone and the family is scatter
ed. What the children lose by the
death OF parent only those realize
W no have grown up without that love
and advice which a parent alone can
bestOw.
No doubt, tens Of thousands OF par
ents have found premature graves,
who might have lived years of useful
ness, had they known what was sap
ping their strength, and slowly but
surely pushing them into the grave.
There are tens Of thousands OF par
ents to-day in agony OF mind through
fear OF death from kidney disease, who

The County Bonds for the sC's Railroad.

The committee fromthe Grand jury,
appointed at the February term of
Court, TO examine into the manner in
which the county bonds were voted
for the Sos Railroad, met recently,
and the following is the substance of
their report.
They find upon an examination of
the Auditors books that 81 names of
1893 that appear upon petition calling
for an election upon the question Of
the county issuing bonds in aid of the
3C's Railroad, are not free-holders in
the county, as required by the Act in
reference to this bond question, is 500
therefore taking 81 from S9S leaves
5S7-26S less than was required. Tn.
der the circumstances, the election was
not lawfully ordered.
Whether or not this showing will
have any effect upon the bonds that
have already been issued we do not
know. This report will be made by
the Grand Jury at the June term 0.
Court, and then it will be known what
the next step will be.

Harrison ChilI's Them,

WASHINGTON, March 16.-The COM
plants OF President Harrisons chilly
receptions to applicants and their
friends are no longer smothered MUIR
murs; they are open and general
The President seems to assume that
applicants and their friends are all to
be dealt with at arms length, and he
applies the same rule to all, regardless
OF their distinction. l could name
several very prominent Philadelphia
business men, who were ardent sup
porters of Harrison and liberal contri-
butors, and who would accept nothing
for themselves, as illustrations of this
want Of cordiality or even respect ex-
hibited by the President to those who
seek to advise about appointments.
1t is evident that the President de.
sires to unload the labor of dividing
the party spolls as much as possible
and he makes it so unpleasant for
those who visit him on the subject
that they will not be likely to come
again if they can help it. Already the
host of expectants are turning theil
attentions to the Cabinet officers
while they denounce the Presidents
rudeness in bitter terms.
If this want of cordiality was confn
ed to importunate applicants, it nigh
be excused, but he is equally chilly tC
all. There have been fully hundred
leading men to see the President since
the Inauguration in the interest of 9th
ers, who will not soon visit him again
because Of the repulsiye manner il
which they werf received. The poll
ticians and applicants will have t.
visit him and take II cold bath, bu
buiness men who want nothing 10
themselves will not be likely to max
a second call upon Harrison

CleYeland's Unpleasant Legacy.


The party organs and orators howl
ed themselves hoarse against President
Cleveland for his alleged disregard Of
civil service reform, but now they have
made the painful discovery that Cleve-
land has left them most unpleasant
legacy Of consistency in refusing obe-
dience to the spoilsmen.
1t is only when the now hungry and
impatient Republican spoilsmen seek
the Federal offices in this city that
they are confronted with the now un-
pleasant legacy that Cleveland left
them in the line of civil service re-
form. The word has been passed
along the line of importunates that
President Harrison can't consistently
remove Democratic officials with any
more haste than his predecessor exhib-
tied in the removal OF Republicans
and there is universal complaint
among applicants at the policy Of the
new administration.
They see in the unpleasant legacy
left by Cleveland that they can't get
possession of the Collectors Office and
the Mint before July; that the Col
lectorship of Internal Revenue can't
be possessed before August that the
Post Office and the Surveyors office
can't be reached before December !;
and that the District Attorneyship, the
Assistant Treasurership and the Mar
shalship are away in the misty dis
tance Of years.
Such is Cleveland's unpleasant leg
acy to Republican expectants but the
more painful features Of the legacy
don't end there. The chief subordi-
nate positions i'll the Mint, in the Post
Office and in other Federal offices are
now filled by old Republican officials
and have been during the whole four
years of Democratic rule, and that is
an additional unpleasant legacy left
by the late President for his successor
Considerate men OF all parties will say
that that legacy is precedent for the
Republicans and one that can't be
safely disregarded.
1t is only when the spoilsmen come
to demand a return to the spoils oI
party victory that they realize how
/ Cleveland elevated the civil service
and how the clamor of spoilsmen wa'
subordinated to fidelity to public trus
by his administration, and now tht
fear is that Harrison will feel compelled
to accept the unpleasant Cleveland
legacy
By and by the country as we'll as tho
spoilsme1 will understand that, how
ever short Cleveland may have falleI
of an ideal civil service reform, he i
the only President of modern time
who accepted the elevation of tn
standard OF the civil service as sa
cred duty of national administration
1t is unpleasant and embarrassing, 0
course, to placemen, but after all tn
: Cleveland legacy will be gratefully ar
= preciated by nine-tenths Of the Who'll
people who neither seek nor desir

For Mrs. MAVERICK.

LONDON, Aug. 9-In addition to the me-
mortal to the government In behalf Of Mrs.
Maybrick, which has been signed by most Of
the barristers and solicitors of the Liverpool
circuit and the petition which has been cir
culated among the merchants and brokers,
parliament itself has taken up the cause Of
the condemned woman. A number of mem
bers Of the house Of commons have decided
to make combined appeal to the home Of
fee for her reprieve Their action is based
not only on the confusion in the medical tes-
timony taken, but also on the peculiar be-
havior of the judge, which has excited ter
ment of indignation throughout the coun:
try.
ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE. sal
New YORK, Aug. 9-Roe 4 Macklin, coun-
sci for Mrs Maybrick in this country, have
cabled her London solicitors asking if Home
Secretary Matthews will consider new evil
dence it furnished Immediately. Mr.: Mack
lin says they have considerable evidence to
submit, corroboraJing Mrs. Maybrick's testi-
mony, and also testimony as to her standing
and character socially in this country. He
thinks that if this testimony were admitted
and considered it would change the aspect OF
the case to her favor. Regarding the chances
Of interference with the sentence on the part
of the home secretary, Mr.. Macklin said:
@They have a curious law in England provid-
ing that where an adverse decision is rem
dered in any but murder case an appeal
can be taken to a higher court, and from
that to the house of lords; but when the case
is murder the decision rendered by the Jury
Is final; and the cases where the Judges SEN
tence has been overruled by the home Sec
rotary are very rare indeed. Still hope we
can do something"

formed bowling mob Of about five hundred
and started for these plants. The men at
the Alice mines were warned In time and
fled Upon reaching the tipple the mob tore
boards of and started coal wagons down the

SO that no Goa! could be hoisted. They then
went 20 the Bessemer, and on the way met

He tried TO persuade them to stop

Bessemer and went to the house Of an old
man named Gllhooley to look for the mine
boss. Failing 10 find him there the old man
was beaten and the windows Of his houses
