1t makes; 1t promises to afford relief
not only to the overstocked manu-
tacturer, but also to the great agri-
cultural interest of the country by
the market for our prod
ucts. 1t is by no means new idea
with Mr.. Blaine; it is only the
Legitimate outcome of the plans he
began when Secretary of State
under the late President Garfield,
and which would have been carried
out under that administration had
not the assassin Giteau shot Gen.
Garfield.
Senator Henderson has made a
strong report to the Senate which
bears out the statement several
times reiterated in this correspond
ence as to the horrible condition of
the old rat trap used for the Govern.
ment Printing office, the largest
establishment of it's kind in the
world. Senator henderson says, the
only remedy is the construction for
the use of this office of a fire proof
building. Ground may at this time
easily be obtained in the immediate
vicinity of the present office; but
unless Congress shall act promptly
in securing it private enterprise will
get ahead of it by purchasing the
ground for other purposes.
The House committee on Reform
in the Civil Service is preparing to
make a general investigation of the
workings of the present Civil Ser
vice law, and Commissioner Roose-
welt has brought down a shower of
CRITICS m upon himself by writing
letter to the committee suggesting
how it should be conducted. Such
letter was hardly in good taste,
whatever may have been the motion
which inspired it.
The long investigation by a
Senate committee of the dressed
meat traffic, which took place last
year, has borne fruit, and the Sen
ate committee on Agriculture has
favorably reported bill to provide
for the inspection of all live stock
about to be slaughtered intended for
human consumption in any state or
territory other than where slaugh.
tered, or for expectation.
The House bill, authorizing oaths
to pension papers to be administered
by an off cial authorized to admin
lister oaths for general purposes, has
been favorably reported to the
Senate.
Senator ingalls, hit the nail square
on the head, as he usually does,
when he said that Senator Call, of
Florida, had not only grossly vio-
lated and abused the privileges of
the Senate, but had deliberately fal
sifed the Record in filling fourteen
pages of that publication with a
personal statement defending him
self from an attack made upon him
by citizen of Florida. 1t cannot
be too often stated that the Con-
greSSioBai Record should contain
only what actually takes place in
Congress.
The President will tomorrow pay
his first visit to the new cottage at
Cape May, where his family is
quartered for the season. He will
return to Washington Tuesday.

"THEY objected to being hung
with Niger" The Memphis Ap-
peal devotes nearly an entire page
to details Of the execution of four
murderers. Three of them were
white aud one colored, and the cut
of the trap from which they swung
shows only three ropes. This is
explained by the Appeat that the
white men objected to being hanged
with a niger, and separate gal
lows had to be erected for him.
The same paper says: Ballard, the
black man, killed q man with whom
he had quarreled. His blood was
hot and the deed was done in sort
of free fight between the two. 1t

cowardice that marked the deeds Of

During storm last week light
ming struck the house of Mike
Miller, situated about a mile south
of Muscoda. 1t came down the
chimney, burst through stovepipes
and capered about the house break
ing up furniture and SCATTERING
things generally. Mike Miller was
knocked insensible and John Miller
who was holding the baby on his
lap was struck. The bolt tore off
the baby's shoe, ran down Miler's
leg and tore off his boot, and killed
dog that was lying on the floor at
his feet. Miller aud the baby were
burned some but had lucky escape.
At MUscoda shade trees were blown
down and many lights of glass were

The Charleston NeaoS and Courier
says that "there are Republican
election frauds in every northern
states" aud curiously enough, this is
one of its arguments against the
passage of a bill designed to pre-
vent such frauds in all the states.
The sneers at Mrs. Harrison by
such Democratic organs as the Bos-
ton Globe are in marked contrast to
the always complimentary words of
Republican newspapers toward Mrs.
Cleveland. The Globe evidently
caters to low down class of readers
if they admire such vulgarity.
A SOLDIERS widow in Ohio was
recently upon the point of losing
her home by the foreclosure of al
mortgage, when her pension claim
was allowed and the money tele-
graphed To her in time to avert the
calamity. 1t is such things as this
that cause men like Bishop Potter
to proclaim that the pension system
is great national peril.
Tue census row between st. Paul
and Minneapolis has proved infec-
tious. The city of West Superior,
Wis, accuses the citizens of Duluth |
of having padded the returns. Who
could have imagined a little thing |
like the census was going to get
everybody by the ears? Rival cities
are exhibiting decidedly more TEN
per over the matter than the mar
riageable aud unmarriagesble ladies
who do not want to tel their age.
The Appleton Crescent sagely re
marks thus: "Regulating the per
sonal conduct of the people on
Sunday by legislation does not seem
t. be a very effective method of
promoting a Sunday quiet" This
seems to be auon-poIitical expression
and we have quite disposition to
agree with the Crescent, SO far as
this quotation is concerned. 1t is a
good text. Reflect upon it! 1t is
mighty hard to pound goodness into
grown-up people. CoaXing is better.

Church Fair.

The fair held at Union M. E. Church
Fremont Pa, on last Thursday and
Friday evenings was grand success,
the net proceeds amounting to about
$500.50. The committee extend thanks
to the candidates and all who contri.
buted to its success. Following is a
list of the prizes and winning contes
tants:-Sewing machine, Ellis Brinton
gents silver watch, Jacob Griest;
gents gold watch, Sherman Clayton;
ladies' gold watch, Lizzie Morris: set OF
dishes, Vista Hambleton; toilet set,
Mary Morris; silver spoons, Ella
Morris; album, Lidia Lloyd; clock,
Alpheus Cooper; cart, Oscar Logan;
harness, Geo. Wright; robe, Ross Cam
eron.
One contestant on the cart failed to
hand in his book and cash; it is to be
hoped that he will return the amount
collected to those who con tributed as
the church received no benefit thereof.
The committee found by comparing
the amount paid on the book of one OF
the contestants for set of dishes was far
in excess of the sum turned in, and
would request that the contestant hand
in the full amount before the matter
goes any farther. COMMITTEE.

Santa Claus Prize.

Thi. fayorite cantata of the Sunday
school at Christmas time was given by
the Rising Sun Sunday school children
on Tuesday hight in the hall. The
piece was rendered with much spirit,
and the performance was voted decid-
cd success. Mr.. John nj. Campbell
acted as master of ceremonies, and
marshalled the little folks with con-
sumate skill. The last but not the
least pleasant act in the drama was
the distribution of prizes and gif ;
which Santa Claus remembered his
little friends with by leaving on the
Christmas tree. Like the good feeling
and enjoyment of the hour, the old
Saints gifts over-fowed the little folks
and extended till they included the
children of larger growth, who bore
away a token of his annual visit in a
cornucopia filled with nuts and can
dies.

Death of DR.. Ro berson.

Our community was greatly shocked
on Sunday afternoon by the announ-
cement of the sudden death of DIR.
Elijah HI. Robertson. The members of
the family all attended church on Sun.
day morning except the doctor who
remained at home. His custom was
about IL O'Clock to turn the cows loose
from the stable. When the family
returned from church, he did not make
his appearance and immediate search
found him lying on his back in the
cow stable. He had unhaltered and
turned out two of the cows when death
came without moments warning,
and he fell dead at the feet OF tn e cow
he was next to turn loose. DIR. Turner
was hastily summoned, and the cause
of death pronounced to be one of those
sudden strokes, paralytic or apoplectic
which has recently carried off so many
persons almost instantaniously. His
funeral took place on Thursday, the
place of interment being Zion ceme-
tery.
Although well advanced in years,
the deceased being 70 years old he show
ed few symptoms of decay, either
physically or mentally. He was an en-
thusiastic, enterprising experimentor
with farm crops grasses and grain
Doctor Robertson was one of the most
intelligent and public spirited members
of Cecil Grange and the order sustains a
serious loss in one of its most active
and encouraging members.

A Letter to the Administration at
Washington.

Gentlemen Do you not think the
rate of interest last week, 80 per
cent for call loans, was sufficient to
show tue imperative need of large
addition to the cash in circulation?
We most emphatically do; and as
the quickest and cheapest means of
bringing it about we make the fol-
lowing suggestion:
Pass law and print 100000 900
in greenbacks in excess of the pres.
ent issue, and as fast as printed, lex.
pend this same sum in macadamiz
ing the country roads all over the
United States and do the work 80
we'll that even England, so far ahead
of US in this particular, will acknowl.
edge they are behind the times.
Paying out $5oO,O0O.OOO, for this
work during the coming twelve
months will produce the following
benefits.
Give employment to millions OF
idle men. and relieve all poverty.
Thus putting the money in circu.
lation through the hands of working
men, the means above all others that
will best benefit the entire people
Napoleon 1. hest understood this
business.
1t would relieve the existing dearth
of money.
1t would enable farmers to draw
their products to market that impas
sable roads now utterly prevent.
1t would enhance the cash values
of our farms because of this privilege
and enable our farmers to use their
horses, etc. for other work than wear
ing them out on impossible roads.
1t would bcautify our land and
make all country property better
known and more valuable by its con
venient accessibility.
1t would make out-of town driving
and stage journeys delight; and il
trees were planted by the wayside
our country could be made eminently
beautiful.
We trust that you will recognize
the expediency of this measure fol
fyou adopt it, the people fa- anG
wide will remember you as the bes
administrators we have ever had.
For keeping such roads in repai
we recommend. either toll gates a.
in England, or, regular Government
appropriations for such purposes, a
County boards are altogether to-
unreliable.

prices are only about seventy per

ment of both winter and spring since
July lst to primary markets has
been near eighty nine millions
against sixty nine millions last year
same time, and eighty one millions
for the same weeks in 1897; yet the
visible is near four millions less than
any one of the past five years at
Christmas.
Our exports since July lst have
been more than the same time q
year ago. The seabord supply is
unusually small. The combined
wheat crops of Germany and Russia
was 29O,000,O00 bushels against
376, 900, 900 last season, while their
wheat and rye shortage was 100000.
900 bushels less than 1888, and 276,
100000 less than 1887.

Spring wheat have advanced near
