A Queer OYer.leht.

The Assessor who omitted to place
forty-elght lots on the assessment list in
the part of Stonycreell township, which
was annexed to Johnstown, would
give Henry George setback, if the
reformer knew of the procedure. Mr..
George says that land is the easiest thing
in the world to tax 1t can not be hidden
or smuggled. Somehow or other the
Stonycrcek township Assessor failed to
see these forty eight lots. When our city
Assessors come around those lots will be
seen, and assessed too.

Progress of the Work Toward Opening a
Public Road Along the Old Tow-Path.
Mr. Benjamin Stutzman, of Eaat Wheat

a canvass of The citizens of West Taylor

Indiana Republican Editors Have no Par

The Indiana Republican State Editor
ial Convention met in Indianapolis on
Thursday. All the undercurrent was
anti.Harrison. That element ran the en-.
tire concern, and the few prononuoI Har-
rison men in the conyention die not know
it until too late to counteract its effect
Gen. Packard was elected chairman sim
ply because he is all broken up over the
disappointment Of missing the revenue
collectership of his district. He has been
very sore, and this was intended as di-
rect slap at the administration, as ex-
planned by a member of the convention,
who said " You have no idea of the
force of sentiment against Harrison. He
could not to-day carry Indiana for any
thing. He is completely played out. lie
has gone back on many Of his best friends
because be is afraid of the criticisms that
may follow If he gives them anything.
Gne man in this convention has two or
three letters now in his pocket from Har-
rison, written him on occasions when the
editor had done him pronounced favors,
thanking him and telling him when the
time came, he should be remembered with
something substantial. And now the time
has come, and that man cannot get Har-
rlson to do thing for him"

Another Fatality at No. 6 bridge.

On Thursday evening, about dusk, as
George Fyock was crossing the Cone
maugh river at No. 6 bridge on plank
he fell into the water and was drowned,
the rushing of the water bearing him
down the stream very rapidly. His body
was recovered yesterday morning just
above East Conemaugh, and taken TO the
residence of his parents in Conemaugh
township. The fvneral will take place to-
morrow forenoon at 10 o'clock, when in
terment will be made in the Dunkard

the disease successfully. At the first in

tin cup and pour into it quantity of tai

the cup over a fire so as to fill the room
with fumes. The little patient, en- iuhal-

all the membranous matter, and the
diphtheria will pass Off The fumes of the
tar and terpentine loosen the matter in
the throat, end thus afford the relief that
has battled the skils of physicians.

PLAIN BUT TRUE SPEAKING.

Reginald F. D. Palgrave, the accom-
plished parliamentarian and Clerk of the
English House of Commons, has been
writing in the North American Rerie,g of
the much debated ruling of Speaker Reed,
and of the adoption of Rule XIV, relative
to the ascertainment of the presence of a
quorum. The following extract from his
essay is to the point, and very sharply and
directly so:
The root and nature of the error which created
ne Congressional crisis Of January last are now
xposed. Had the error been The speakers
rror" or an error OF the House OF Representa-.
YES, should not have yeDtured to intervene.
Tut the error has such wide proportions, and
ests on so many shoulders, that from 1t all per
lnRlity, all partisanship, is eliminated. 1t is
ne error of the United States. BY their tacit
nd by their active sanction. they have, during
he course of many years, supported their House

Mr.. Palgrave has thus given US sharp
rap, but deserved one. 1t is the truth,
IS every thinking man knows, though but
ew if any have prior to the year 1890
Jared to utter it, that we have all these
years Of our history been legislating with

THE DAY.

There IS neither necessity nor excuse for
long dwelling upon the event this day
ushers in. In plain words. it is the States
birthday, and it is to be celebrated, as it
has been during forty years, as joyous
anniversary. Only, this year the genera
tion that trod upon the heels OF "Admis
SION takes more than usually activepart
In the exercises.
1t is a right and proper thing to do.
We have not any too many holidays, not
too many days when the tension of bust
ness and labor can be relaxed. Moreover,
it is good thing, most commendable
thing to thus cultivate local pride. At
tachment to the soil is the best foundation
Of loyalty to government Love for place
of birth bulwarks the homes of men, and
holds them in close relation that is a
peace potentiality and conseryator Of
manliness, gentleness, mercy and justice.
We have not one particle of sympathy
with the shallow intelligence that few
days ago attempted to illuminate against
to days celebration by the Pioneers and
Native Sons, on the ground that such ac-
tion as they are taking tends to cultivate
Estates rights doctrines" and to relax re-
gard for the national compact. All which
is silly. Secession never arose, or will
arise, out of any Just and honorable pride
OF the citizen in his community.
We shall hear enough to-day of the
peculiar reasons why this States birthday
should be observed with pomp and cere-
monial. Chiefly the reasons are that no
other State has had such growth no other
State was born into the Union without
passing through the probationary state of
territorial government, and finally because
the admission of California was a gigantic
and heroic blow at the institution of hui
man slavery, and aided in setting in mo-
tion the activities that resulted in the ma
tional policy being irreyocably declared
that no new territory of the Union should
be dedicated to slave labor.
OF course there is great deal to be said
about the development accomplished in
California; Of the splendid types of young
manhood and young womanhood we ha We
grown, despite the prophesy that the mild
ness of our climate would give US only a
weak and nergeless generation. There is
much to be said of the immense miner al
wealth California has poured into the lap
Of the nation, and still more to be said of
the empire of national strength that Cali
fornia is to the Union. There ought to be
and will be something said by the orators
and the poets snd songsters of the day of
the men and women of genius and heroism
California has developed, of her homes and
her industries, of her trials and her
triumphs and of her manifest destiny-all
these things We can trust the orators and
sweet singers Of the day to elaborate.
1t is well to recall them, to take pride in
them to learn from them how to mark out
for the State and her citizen men and
women better and broader ways for the
future, higher aims and loftier purposes
and director and better methods of accom-
plishment We hail the day and greet
the Pioneers and the Native Sons and
Daughters with approval for the cere-
monials that mark the passage of the for
tieth anniversary of the birth of the State

We INDUCED in some remarks concern
ing proposed new White House the
other day, in which protest was entered
against destruction of or serious change in
the present historic structure. We held
that a new White House commensurate
with the importance of the country can be
constructed in front of the old one, or
about it, so, indeed, as to enshrine it.
Mrs. President Harrison has now ex-
pressed her ideas upon the subject. She
too, would preserve the old structure, and
for reasons at once patriotic and practical
adding wings on the west and east, with
artistic colonades, she would gain the de-
sired room. On the south winter garden
should be built, so that between the wings
and the main building there would be an
inclosed and rooted court into which all
the suites of rooms would open. On great
occasions these rooms and the garden
would become practically one grand apart
ment. The objection to these plans is
that the White House is not well located
in a sanitary sense, and that it ought to be
more distant from the Capitol and less
easy of access by the politicians. To these
objections it may be replied that the un-
sanitary condition of the White House is
due to its internal economy of pipes and
drains and not to its location. As to the
second objection, nowhere within the city
of Washington can the President secrete
himself from the politicians.

Quinine does not afford this protection.
The chief reason why Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters has won such immense popularity
is, that it prepares the system to resist the
malsrial pest. This it does by braclng and
toning the physical organism; regulating
and promoting an equal flow and distribu.
ton of the animal fluids, and establishing
digestion on sound basis. Not only is
fever and ague prevented, but the worst
types of the disease are conquered by it.
Such is the only conclusion to be drawn
from the overwhelming evidence in its
favor. 1t is equally efficacious in dyspepsia,
constipation. liver complaint. general debil-
ity and rheumatic complaint, and is re-

Beyords Magazine says, SIT must not be
overlooked that reciprocity is not orthodox
Republicanism.n True enough, in one
sense, wholly error in another. There is
no such thing as "orthodox RepublicanisIn,"
as Beltords construes it. On the contrary,
Republicanism in its purity is progression.
1t is not the law of the past, but the need
of the hour. Consistency in Republican
ism is the truth Of to-day, not the position
of yesterday. With the true Republican
the question is what is right now, what is
best for the nation in the present; not
''what did my party deem wise last week
or last year?0 If reciprocity, as proposed
by the State Department, is the best for
the material interests of the nation and It's
most stable advancement, then the Repub-
lican party should be and will be its adyo-
cate, wholly irrespective OF what its views
may have been upon the questions in ap-
parent conflict with reciprocity between
commercial nations. The true national
party is not hide bound it is not the slave
of mere creed, nor the seryile instrument
Of the past. 1t is the party that has the
courage and the ability to face any emer-
gency. and to act in the light of the pres
ent as the need of the hour demands. The
difficulty with the Democratic party is
that it is one of precedents Or orthodoxy
that it has uniformly made the past an OBJ
struction in the pathway of the present
that it has forever been looking back
ward, and seldom, if ever, forward 1t has
never risen equal to the emergencies of a
present, and when it has attempted to do
so, it has always been apologetically, OF
with such clinging to the leading strings of
the past, as to disclose its insincerity and
the want of courage to grapple with the
things of to-day, for fear of the judgment
of the record of yesterday. In other
words, it is non-progressive and OBJ
structing party. because it is so slavishly
orthodox.
