Counting Their Majority.

The Philadelphia Press print election
estimates from the several counties of
the state which bring out total Repub-
lican majority of Al, 900. Chairman Dun
lap, Of Lancaster 'regrets TO say that
there is an indifference IN the Republi-
can party of this country this fall, IL
being an of year. BY hard work and
blest with favorable weather we may be
able to give 1000 Republican majority
The supreme caution with which Chair
man Dunlap spoke did not keep the
Press from putting Lancaster down Oh
its list as good for the whole seven
thousand that was hoped for; and no
doubt the $4,000 total majority for the
state was of a similar count Of the best
Republican figures that were reported
~ possible.
Perhaps the Republican hope will be
realized, but prudent Republicans will
share the apprehension Of Chairman
Dunlap, lest the indifference" of the
Republican voter upsets their calcula-
tions. We observe with admiration the
felicity Of Chairman Dunlap's express
sion of "an" Indifference he does not
publican voter, but of "an" indiner-
ence ; which conveys the idea that it is
. particular and unusual indifference
which affects the Republican disposition
and promises TO prevent its vote from
coming out. And In truth il is more
than an indifference it is disgust.
We shall be much surprised if the
Republican state leaders do not get
rebuke from the election returns Of next
Tuesday. We believe that the intelligent
Republican voter is thoroughly tired of
the treatment Of his party by the bosses
and that he feels an entire disinclination
10 range himself by their side He secs
how they have been seeking To boss even
the president and with what a cater
wauling and damningithey meet every
effort made by Harrison to introduce a
decent element into Pennsylvania
politics and put in place men who are
tthe boot blacks and lickspittles Of the
moral abortions who have their heels
upon the Republican party of Pennsyl-
vania.
We say without hesitation that no
self-respecting and Intelligent man can
fail to feel disgust at the fact and the
manner of the control of his party by
Quay and that crop of malignant moral
lepers who have no conception of gov.
ernment save as 1t is function that pro,
vides gain to those who control II. II
the persistent effort OF Quay and his
gang to elevate themselves upon the
back Of the Republican party aud theil
determination to let no one aboard who
y not Of their peculiar company, serves
70 create IAN indifference" among the
Republican rank and file, not of the
enointed company who can be surprised?
Evidently Chairman Dunlap will not
Be. He has great DOUBT as to whether
Providence will so smile upon his effort
70 get out the vote, as to bless him with
-1ne-weather. He feels that n wet day
y likely 10 combine with party indifier-
ence 70 keep the voters away from the
polls, and no doubt be would be glad 10
compromise to-day for an assurance OF

THE Baltimore County Grange has been
discussing the questions OF better county
roads and the abolition of tollgates, matters
that should receive more attention in Ian
caster county and city. Professor James
L. Green had been asked TO read a paper,
and in introducing the subject he said;
awhile we have long since outgroSn the
pioneer stage Of civilization, many of our
roads are as much behind the age as would
be tho case in farming operations IL we
were TO use plows, with wooden mould
boards, slcIiles instead of reapers, and
fails for threshing- machines To secure
the money to do the work Prof Green
recommends that the necessary powers be
obtained from the Legislature for the
county TO issue bonds for the required ox-
penditure, bearing interest at a rate not ex-
ceeding four per centum. The present
bonds of the turnpike company might be
made exchangeable for the new road bonds
pro rata. The process of repayment should
extend through long term of years in
order that the coming generations pay
their proper quota of the cost Of permanent
improvements.
A resolution adopted by Locust Grove
Grangewas read declaring that 1t is the wish
Of that grange that the Baltimore county
commissioners should macadamize all the
county roads, and that bonds bo issued to
pay the expenses, and that all roads he
made free II possible.

THE DRUMNIER'S LATEST.

II You SEQ n stray Thread Upon Ills Coat
Let It Alone.
From the Lewstown Journal.
The drummer always brings the latest
trick. Here 1t is;
Take spool of white basting cotton.
Drop IL into your inside coat pocket, and,
threading a needle with it, pass it up
through the shoulder of your coat. Leave
the end an inch or so long on the outside
of your coat and take off the needle. Four
men out of five will try to pick that whole
thread Off your shoulder, and will pull on
the spool until it actually does seem as
though your clothes are all hastings, and
that thoy are unraveling not only your
clothes but yourself.

Not a Subject for tho Coroner,

The house of Patrick Graham, an old
bachelor Irshman of Baltimore having
been closed for several days. the neighhors
on Friday notified the police, who broke in
the door and found Patrick lying in bed
cold and stiil. A doctor from the neighbor-
hood wisely felt his pulse and pronounced
him dead. The coroner was summoned
and proceeded to impanel a jury 10 hold
the inquest. Meanwhile policeman and
the agent of the property concluded to
examine the corpse more closely. So
they opened the window and pulled the
bed clothes of the Old man, when, to their
amusement, the supposed corpse rose up

claimed Graham, as he jumped out of bed
and confronted the coroner and the Jury as

months old scrofula sores began to appear on
different parts of her body. and In n short time
She had running sores. Two physicians were
called but they gave us no hope. One of them
advised the amputation Of one Of her fingers to
which we refused assent Our attention was
called To Hoods Sarsaparilla, and we began
giving II TO her. A marked improvement was
noticed after she had taken only one bottle,
and by a continued use of it her recovery was
complete. And she is rAw, being seven years
old, strong and healthy The other members

TAXATION IN CHINA.
Henry Georges Ideas Originated With
Confucius,

WASHINGTON, April 25d.-Charles Denby.
United States Minister to China. in his re-
port to the Department of State, says the
system OF taxation in China presents some
decided contrasts to the systems in other
countries. The taxes outside of Pekin
are paid on arabic land only, the tax vary
ing with the crop and quality of the soil.
Inside of the city of Pekin there is no tax
on the land, houses or personal property.
The goods passing through the CITY gates
pay tax, but are exempt from taxation
afterwards. The only tax on land and
houses in Pekin is on the sale of real es-
tate. Ten per cent. being charged on the
price obtained for the property sold.
mere is also tax resembling license
fees. Outside OF Pekin the Chinese sub.
Jects are liable to be called on 10 perform
certain duties, whenever the Emperor
passes through their districts. but this duty
may be avoided by the payment of a small
tax. All the moneys spent on the public
account in Pekin comes from the I'm.
perial treasury, and the expenditure is not
limited to the funds raised by taxation
within the city. In Pekin they pay NO
taxes whatever, and man who owns his
house and lot and his implements ol
labor, enjoys his earnings without toll or
deduction. The Minister closes with the
following comment on the Chinese taxa.
ton as contrasted with the system of taxa.
ton in the United States:
How different the condition is from
that in our own cities, where sometimes
three per cent. on high valuation is ex.
acted for public purposes. To the absence
OF the taxation of the body of the people
may well be ascribed the permanence OF
the Government, and of the tranquility
and contentment of the Chinese race. a
lesson of taxation in China might be
prohtably studied by the civilized world
But in view of the national, State, county
township and city indebtedness piled
mountain high, the lesson must now be
valueless to the United States"
