Our reference to the Lycoming
county Prohibition Convention last
week might easily be understood as
indicating that Mr.. Welch was the
only person present and ran the
Convention but one of our friends
who was present says that there
were over fifty members present and
that Mr.. Wefch left before the Con.
vention was called to order for
organization on account of some
previous engagements he had on
hand. He did not have theremotest
idea Of such thing as being nomin-
ated until he was notified by the
Secretary on the following Monday.
He is life long Republican and has
not changed his political sentiments
but is somewhat enthusiastic on the
Temperance question and thinks it
is necessary to have another party
TO keep up the agitation until proper
Legislation is secured. He has some
reputation in this community for
energy and perseverance and if he
goes into the canvas will make it
lively but whether he will stand any
chance of election is another thing.

The disposition on the part of the
Democratic Senators to delay the
passage of the tariff bill has reached
stage when forbearance has ceased
to be virtue. SEEING that if some.
ching is not done to hurry matters
thu bin will not be voted on before
Christmas the Republicans have
decided to do something. Just
what, will probably be definitely
settled this week. Resolutions have
been offered by Senators Blair, Ed
munds, Hoar and Quay, to bring
about the desired end--a curtail
Ment of debate on the tariff bill; and
all of these resolutions are in the
hands of the committee on Rules.

The press is the mirror of the
daily lie of the world, says Chauncy
Depew, but it performs the very
highest duty in selecting what it
shall reflect. The newspaper is read
by the boy before he begins the
study of his mornings lesson, and it
is his companion after he returns
from school /; it is beside our daught-
Ell in her boudoir and her bed room;
it drops into those young lives facts,
thoughts and impression which bear
sweet or bitter fruit in after years.
You and l have known the whole
moral nature of youth soiled and
spoiled by this unguarded and un-
guardable communion. There are
cases of leprosy and smallpox and a
vast variety of unsightly and con-
tagious diseases in the hospitals, but
we do not take our families to see
them. There are in the by-streets
and alleys nightly scenes which
furnish food for earnest reflection to
the reformer and sociologist, but if
we can help it our children never
hear of them. We become the
willing victims Of the plumber to
keep sewer gas out of our houses;
and the newspaper under the guise
of faithful reporting, with pictures
que and attractive details, has not
the liberty to bring all these things
and worse into our homes. 1t is
often said that there is enormous
profit in ministering to the depraved
and debased elements in human
nature and that the papers which re-
frain throw away fortunes. l do
not believe it, if the paper has come
to stay. The switches and scorpions
and all their blood are notoriohsfy
short-lived and Improbable. The
family is the unit of society and no
matter what its head may be he does
not introduce or tolerate in that
circle any element which he believes
will destroy it. Without the family
support no newspaper can survive,
and that journal will have the long
est life, the largest profits and the
greatest Influence which as far as
possible admits to its columns only
such matter as the editor would
freely narrate at his own table.
