The Next State Ticket.

A correspondent OF The Portage
Register makes the following timely
comments on the next Republican
state ticket, which we take pleasure
IN publishing:
So far it is quite generally conceded
Gov. Hoard will be his own successor.
McFetridge's name has been men
toned, but we don't think he himself
seriously entertains the thought Of a
gubernatorial nomination. Custom
has grown into law in this common
wealth, and as Gov. Hoard is only
serving his first term, and as he de-
serves nothing but the good will of
his party, it would be shabby treat
ment indeed to even entertain the
idea Of dropping him SO soon. 1t is
true, a few may claim his approval OF
the Bennett law might weaken the
ticket with him for the leader. but the
great majority are beginning to COM
prehend that his action aforesaid will
act as an element of strength. People
are beginning to understand not only
the Justice but the necessity for such
ameasure as the Bennett law. Many
who at first denounced it are now
wheelinginto line, and before long will
be amongst the most enthusiastic
supporters of Gov. Hoard for the wis
dom and courage displayed IN signing
the law.
But the balance of thestate officers
should not be disappointed in the
failure of a denomination. Time will
undoubtedly prove Gen. Burchard a
false prophet, if the interview pur-
porting to have been held with him
and recently printed in a Milwaukee
paper be true. II believe the entire
ticket will be renominated, says the
general. And why? Is it because the
Republicans of Wisconsin are short OF
timber? That there are not scores OF
men equally deserving and fully as
capable as the present incumbents
This three and four term business has
grown into an abuse, and unless a
remedy is soon applied, the Repub'
licans of Wisconsin may have reason
to regret it.
Secretary Of State Timme is serving
his fourth term, which, when conclud
ed, will have made him secretary nine
years Prodigious, is it not? Nine
years service and nine years emolu
ments (about S8O,O0O) should be suf
fcient to satisfy the most aspiring o.
office-holders. 1t is not openly charged
that the secretary is seeking to be mis-
own successor, but some of his friends
have been injudicious in again bring
ing his name forward. One thing is
certain the great majority OF the
party feel they owe him nothing; that
he has btel handsomely requited II
the way of both honors and salary
expect him to retire from the sec
n at the end of the present

INTERESTING TO DIsriI.LERs.

The Use of Casks Previously Renlled at
the same DIstilicry Prohibited.
The missioner of internal revenue
has issued circular prohibiting the refill
ing at distilleries of casks or packages pre-
viously used at the same distillory. il Is
as follows:
/" II is the practice of many distillcrs TO
use and rc-use constantly the SAME pack
ages for conveying spirits from distillories
10 rcciifying houses. Such reuse has been
permitted for the reason that IL Is alleged
that Ii is q saving to distillers in cooperage;
but, from full investigation of this prac-
tice, II Is found to result in great loss oil
revenue TO the government, by reason OF
the tax on part of the contents being
evaded each time that package Is 40
reused, and the loss increases with each
reuse. If the tax thus evaded were only
that Of the fractional part of a proof gallon
which each package contained, less than
-hundredth, then this Office might not
deem il an abuse TO be prohibited under
the law; but the loss from this source Is
small compared with that resulting from
other causes.
marks and brands from the heads soon
renders them so thin that the callipers Will
not indicate the true length, while the re
pcated removal Of bungs depresscs and
tattens the bung- slaves, so that the rod
will not indicate true mean diameter. In
ages thus reused soon become 80 mis-
shapcn that they are almost of necessity
undergauged.
"Thc fact that spirits are distributed TO
the trade at a much lower proof and greater
volume than that at which they are tax
paid precudos the possibility of the distlller
suffering loss If the reuse of packages is
discontinued. To allow the distiiler and
wholesale dealer TO have two sets of pack
ages--one to he taxed by and the other to
sell by--nvites the fraudulent construction
of casks for both purposes. The integrity
of the capacity of a package is increased by
its being used both at the distiilcry and
upon the market. II their reuse ut dis
tillcries be prohibited the same casks will
likely be so used.
" In view of the foregoing, and by yir-
tue of the authority conferred on the com
missioner of internal revenue in section
3,2i9 of the revised statutes to prescribe
rules and regulations To secure "a uniform
and correct system of inspection, weighing
marking and gauging of spirits, the re-
filling at disiiierics of casks or packages
previously filled ut the same distillcry
with distilled spirits is hereby prohibited,
and all gauging officers assigned to duty at
dstillcrics are instructed to decline TO
gauge, mark or stamp such rcfilled cask =
or packages, and should such vessels be
hereafter presented for gauging, their con-
tents shall be transferred to other packages
before being gagged.

Sarah AIthea Hill.

ln the general discussion which is
going on over the country in regard To
the killing of eX-Judge and cx-NIurderer
Terry, il must not be forgotten that his
companion in crime was the notorious
Sarah Althea Hill \ man somehow
rarely touches the lowest depths of hell.
a. he never sees the bright skies of heaven
without the aid and henediction of "A
woman. Her influence un him is always
felt force, and no man is strong or weak
enough to escape its power. The talk of
giving woman the right Of suffrage is all
nonsense. She has already all the power
under the sun. From the cradle 10 the
grave man is puppet and she holds
the string. When she pulls he dances.
If this influence he from good and
pure woman the man 10 whom she il
Joined lives life OF peace and happi-
ness and honor. From the rising of the
sun to its going down he ought 10 bless
her and call himself favored of "A kind
providence that has showered all of
earthly JOY ON him. If however this
influence be from Il wicked and diaboli-
cal woman, then his life is hell on
earth and the demons of the under
world hover over him until he finds rest
IN the grave. This mans life goes out
in crime and murder and his death rid
the world and human society of leper.
He dies OF is killed and good men and
pure women rejoice.
But what shall he said and done to that
other, the female, not woman, who
merits the death Of the Vilest of Crimi
nails. Sarah Althea Hill has been a no
torious character FOR many years. From
the time when with the blue eve and fair
hair OF demon beauty she was breaking
the hearts of innocent Missouri swains
without conscience TO the present time
she has been vampire sucking the life
blood OF incautious men. 1t is not in,
tended 10 relieve or excuse the villain
Terry from any responsibility for his life
OF crime and wickedness, but that hi.
partner should escape deserving punish
ment is TO be deprecated. That she /,
woman ought tn bring her no tears O
sympathy. Those are too often she,
over vile women who merit punish
ment. The moral legal sponsibility o
man and woman ought to be measure,
alike and the hellish crimes of the ON
ought 10 meet with the same desert a
the other. No punishment of such
vile woman as sarah Althea Hill woul
be too severe. What shall be done witt

The introd ucti on to Poor's Manual of the
Railroads of The United States for 1859 has
just been issued. II gives the usual impos-
ing and interesting summary Of statistics
of railroads For example, II is shown that
there has been an increase in the mileage
OF our railroads of 7,02s miles in lsss, which
is AZ per cent. of the total mileage to the
end of that year, when We had over $4,000
miles of track. Up to the close of the fiscal
year there were l54,27 miles of line which
had cost eight billion three hundred and
fourty-four million and some odd hundred
thousands OF dollars; when dealing with
such tremendous professions Of figures a
few hundred thousand are hardly worth
attention. The real estate, stocks and
bonds and other investments, and the cash
and notes and current accounts OF all the
railroads in the land are added to this first
cost and pile up the total assets 10 nine bill
lions and nearly eight hundred and
seventy -four millions of dollars. The total
liabilities include capital stock and funded,
unfunded and current debts, and their
grand total is nine billion, six hundred
and seven and half millions. The excess
of assets over liabilities Is $500, 4s3, ,O63.
This book is a perfect Wilderness OF figures,
but the great facts stand out clearly from
the Jungle and underbrush through which
the statistician must have struggled 10
them. There were i5l ,353,655 passengers
carried on the railroads of this country In
lsss, fact that would seem 10 indicate
very lively stirring of our fifty millions of
people.

light for her To see a tall man inside, and
he was so busy taking down the plump
hens from their perch aud slowing
them away IN meal bag that he did
not notice Mary's approach. She did not
scream, but after she had put her arms
around the thief and held film in q grip

\ DROw MING ACCIDENT.
TWO Lives Lost While Trying to Secure
u Golfer Dam.

TWO Lives Lost While Trying to Secure
Golfer Dam.
An accident resulting in the drowning of
two men occurred mt Slatington on We'd
nesday night. The victims are Michael
Mcdonnell, of New York, aud Benjamin
Androas, of Slatiugton. The former was
boss of the mason work In the building of
the piers which will support the new
bridge of the Pennsylvania, Poughke eopsc
Il Boston railroad, and which will cross
the Ichigh river about onc-third of u
mile below Slatington. Andreas was an
omployc of the bridge company. The
heavy rains of the last TWO days caused the
l.ehigh To rise rapidly, and these men,
fearing that the water might carry the Golfer
dam away, which had been erected for the
protection of the men engaged in building
the pier. got into u row boat for the pur-
pose of more firmly securing the dam. The
Lchigh river ut that point was exceedingly
wild, and before reaching the Golfer dam
their trail rOwboat was swept down the
river 10y the ewiit current and struck aguy
rope which extended from the shore to
the hrA pIt.. The boat capsized and
the men were thrown into the water,
Andrcas drowning almost imme-
diately. Mcdonnell managed to grasp the
guy rope and worked his way hand over
hand to the Golfer dam. For two hours he
held to the rope, all the while calling for
help. The wator was rushing over the
dam and threatening TO carry him away.
Finally men in the vicinity heard his cries
and in the darkness of the night started out
to extend relief. They procured IA boat and
venturcd out in the water, but the stream
was SO turbulent that thoy were obliged to
abandon their efforts to save Mcdonnell.
They had not gone far from the shore whom
they found that their boat was also in dan
ger of being dashed against the guy ropes,
and they rowed back to land. BY this time
the Golfer dam had been loosened from its
iasienings and was floating down the
river. Mcdonnell was carried with IL aud
was drowned. On Thursday iiily men
We're searching for the bodies, but up to
| evening they had not been recovered. Both
men were about 10 years of age. Andreas
has wife and several children. McDou-
nell, who had not been long in the neigh
| borhOOd has n family in New York.
