CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

At the coming Democratic county
convention one person will be named
as candidate for delegate to the con 3.
stitutional convention. Hon. A. l..
Fritz has annouced his name for that
place, and he has no opposition, and
will undoubtedly be named, and two
conterees will be selected to meet sim
liar conferees from Lycoming, Sullivan
and Montour counties, forming this
senatorial district. Each of the other
counties in the district has several can
didates, and each will go into the con-
ference with its candidate From
these candidates the conferees will
nominate two delegates to the consti-
tutional convention. 1t the Novem-
Der election these candidates will be
voted for by the people. AT the same
time a vote will be taken upon. the
question of a constitutional convention,
and if the majority vote is against a
convention, none will be held and all
the expense and labor Of the candi-
dates will go for naught.
Under such circumstances there is
not much inducement for a local con,
test, and none is being made in many
counties The prevailing opinion a,
present is that there wiii-be no conven.

But sentiment may change during the

In your issue Of July 10th appears a
reply from Mr.. Singer to Mr.. Houtz.
Mr. Singer says: 81 have as good
standing in as good a church as Mr..
Houtz, or any other preacher in Pa"
Now the writer Of this has nothing to
say against the congregation in which
Mr.. Singer claims to hold membership,
but he does claim to have some light
on the subject Of Singers boasted
standing.
Has Mr.. Houtz, or any other preach
er in Pa, ever been excluded from a
Christian church for grossly immoral
conduct and the same published in a
church paper? Mr.. singer has! Did
not Mr.. Singer, after his exclusion in
Ohio, come to Pa. and in way prom
ounced irregular and shameful by a
number of christian gentlemen secure
membership in the congregation which
he now claims as his endorser? " ~

ON Thursday the battle will begin, and
on Thursday afternoon the squadron naval
brigade and the naval militia battalion

Fishers island will be captured before the
sun sets. II is hard to tell what prepara.
tion the snemy are making. They are by
this time aware OF the linton tions of the
white squadron. and will, no doubt, be
ready to repel the invaders. That they
will make strong effort to hold the island
Is apparent from the care with which Ad-
mirsl Walker is preparing for the attack.
The excitement hereabouts is intense.
The harbor Is full of smaller vessels bear

ations with alarm. Their number Is in

BARON HIRsCH's SCHEME.
Unpromising Material Found in
the Refugees.

LONDON, Sept. 26. - sin Darkest
Russia" points out that Baron Hirschs
scheme. If successful, can only provide
for about per cent of the Russian
Jews. Aletter which first appeared in
the Anti-Jacobin and which was signed
San Israelite Wanderer," has been re-
published, and is attracting considera-
BILE attention. 1t strongly defends
Russia. and among other things says:
Between 10000 and 100000 Jews
now reside in Russia in open violation
of law, owing to fraudulent permits or
by bribing officials. Being undisturbed,
they have become more confident and
have invested money in houses, which
is against the law, land then when orders
are received to enforce the domicile
law, the outside world hears of whole
sale explosions accompanied by brutal
ity. But every Jew so expelled courted
his own fate. They all know what they
are doing when they pass the pale Of
their domicile.
"Poor Jews suffer the most from the
rigor of the law, being, as peddlers, por-
tiers, and such like, at the mercy of
every petty official, by whom they are
bounded from pillar to post. II Baron
Hirsch's scheme includes these poor
Jews it takes up the most unpronising
material it is possible to deal with.
They have neither physique for field
work nor resource OF any kind. They and
their families must be supported from
the moment they leave Russia until an
indefinite date when they can maintain
themselves unaided. The government
will not allow the capable, sturdy, bet
ter class, who are all military reserViStS,
to leave the country"
