In reading over the literary items OF
the week, found not much to interest
me, until my eye caught sight of an
article headed "Jenks' Dream" Imag-
! inc my surprise to find it ended up with
a Recommendation to use DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. Nevertheless, being
a great sufferer from sick headache, /
determined to try them, and, to my great
Joy, found prompt relief, and by their
protracted use, complete immunity
from such attacks. Pierce's Pellets
often cure sick headache in an hour.
They are gently laxative or actively
cathartic, according to size of dose.
AS pleasant laxative, take one each
night on retiring. For adults, four act

of the curious and divertlng in legal proceedings,
as well as in many other things, would be lost to
the world were it not for the vigilance of this

Carson Rudy, citizen Of Lewisburg, Penn,
has just brought suit against Jacob Fl. Ferden-
baugh, a merchant Of the same place, for $1,000
damages 1t Is doubtful II damages were ever
before claimed on the grounds set up by Mr. Rudy,
and a few lines about it will, we trust, interest
the intelligent reader. 1t appears that both men
have resided in Lewisburg for the last
thirty years During all this time Mr.. Ferden-
baugh has conducted grocery store in Minlin-ave.,
where he has sold goods at neat but not gaudy
profit Mr. Rudy has not been in any regular bust
ness Most OF the time he has rested and observed
human nature. Mankind has been his study.
He did his last days work shortly after the close
Of the late war. During all Of these thirty years
1t has been Mr.. Rudy's constant custom TO spend
the day at Mr.. Ferdenbaughs grocery store.
When weather permitted he has sat on q drygoods
box in front Of the store. In the winter he has
had place inside near the stove and between the
brown sugar barrel and plug tobacco crate. But
he has preferred the outside, and has occupied the
box on an average Of eight months year. This
somewhat sedentary life has been relieved in a
measure by drumming his heels against the side
Of the box with hollow but not unpleasant
sound, and by whiting a stick. He has also
gradually established salon. and much of each
day he is surrounded by other citizens of Lewis
burg either temporarily or permanently at leis-
ure at which gatherings much conversation OF a
witty and entertaining nature has been INDUCED In

political controversy rather than to impartial
exposition of character in biography

George William Curtis's letter which we print
this morning will attract general attention. Mr..
Curtis rightly holds that the supreme issue OF
the canvass in this State is the public veal
against Tammany Hall. That being his con-
vic ion, he is heartily supporting Mr.. Fassete
and heartily opposing Mr.. Flower, who Is Tam
many's candidate for the Governorship. Mr..
Curts's characterization Of Tammapy is terribly
severe. but is warranted by facts, many of which
are part of the public record Of the metropolis.
Il is difficult to understand how any public
spirited elector who is intelligently bent upon
making his vote subserve the common veal OF
this imperial Commonwealth can take any other
position. Mr.. Curtis does not put it too strongly
when he asserts that Tammanys success would
be "a common National disgrace" The letter
is a powerful campaign document, and Tam
many, unless her bosses have taste for file
gnawing, will make no attempt to answer it.

POLITICAL ECONOMY IN SCHOOLS.

Professor Burchill, in an educational maya
zine, has recently called attention to- the de-
STABILITY of extending the instruction of po-
litical economy in the public schools. There is
much value in this suggestion. BY political
economy we do not mean the Free-Trade doc
trines of Professor Sumner nor the Protection
doctrines of anybody else. The science of the
production and distribution of national wealth
Is not confined to consideration Of revenue
laws, however important the part they play in
it. Nor is it teachers function to advocate
theories. When he has investigated facts and
examined principles he has gone as far as his
duty leads him. Our Government primarily is
machine created by the people, and responsible
to them for the management of such affairs as
they have in common. The most of these affairs
have to do with production, industry and trade.
The American people in their choice of officials
are not searching after men who will do great
and ambitious things, who will magnify their
glory or impress the rest of the world with 0heir
power. They simply desire the passage of laws
which will enable them to produce and sell
under the best conditions and with the most
security, and they want such laws enforced.
knowledge of those conditions, how they
are to be brought about and maintained, is, Of
all knowledge, the most important to the citizen
Of country in whose affans his voice is sover-
eign. He comes 30 possess it, ordinarily, as the
result Of experience, and often the experience is
hard one. He would start in his business
life, and in the performance of his duties as
citizen aso, with much advantage if, during his
career as a student, he had obtained clear
view OF industrial questions. Political econo-
my especially commends itself as public-school
study because its Technology is free from tech
meal expressions, and because it deals with
forces and affairs which are to be observed on
every side, In all places and at all times. The
only danger to be feared from its free intro
duction into the curriculum OF tho public schools
is that it will be taught as an exact science
rather than as one the operation of whose laws
depends on a thousand complex conditions. This
consideration, however, is of importance sec
ondary to that Of having our young peop,e know
of the general nature Of such laws.
Free Trade, as freedom in general, is ideal
The consideration which leads men to agree upon
restrictive regulations with regard to trade is
similar TO the consideration which induces them
to surrender their individual liberty in all other
matters for the sake of the general good. II in
dustral conditions were everywhere equal, and
if the self-suf1iciency of nations was no longer
a vital matter in human affairs, there would be
no need of departing from that ideal relation
which would permit every man to produce as he
best could and sell where he found the greatest
advantage without interference at any point.
The inequalities of industrial conditions and the
