OHos Legislature, which was car
ried last fall by the Republicans, has
commenced redistricting the State in
the interest Of the party. A bill was
introduced this week which would
divide the Congressional delegation
into fifteen Republicans and six Demo-
Gratis. The present members from
that State consist of fourteen Demo-
Gratis and seven Republicans. The
cry against the Democrats for gerry
wandering States which they control
can now be turned the other way, and
Harrison's message upon the subject
is Just suitable to the Ohio Legisla-
ture. For pure, downright robbery
the G. o. p can be depended upon
every time. 1t is the only method by
which the party can live.

FREELAND, PA, JANUARY I, 1892.

COLONEL SHBpARD, of the New York
Nail and E9press, matrimonially
connected with the house of Wander
bilt, is on top of the Grant Monument
Association, after the success of certain
devious methods Of orgauiza ion. 1t
is understood the association, under
command of the colonel, will refuse
all subscriptions from Democrats or
Catholics, and any Southern man
offering money to buy granite for the
monument will be shot ON the spot.
The monument is to be Republican
in the first place and evangelically
orthodox in the second. Sinners and
publicans and Democrats will be
allowed to view it at a distance

A BILL to place tin and tin plate,
agricultural implement and edged
tools, worsteds for clothing, binders
twine, blankets, salt and cotton ties
on the free list was introduced in
Congress on Tuesday. By striking
separate blows at the Mckinley bin
in this style better results can be
accomplished than by wasting the
Democratic strength in a futile at
tempt to sweep away the whole system
at once. If the party could do nothing
else but remove the duty on tin and
tin plate it would be sufficient record
to go before the people next Novem.
Der and ask for further power in the
shape of a Democratic President.
The repeal of that one section OF
McKinleyism would take off nearly
sixteen million dollars of taxes. The
United States has dined on fake pro,
lection too long, and taste of free
trade would be gladly welcomed

DEATHS from diseases caused by
smoking cigarettes are not by far so
common as they We're a few years ago,
but the case of Hezekiah Parsons, of
this county, who died after contract
ing paralysis by the excessive use of
them, is evidence that the danger is
as great as formerly. The sales of
cigarettes have fallen off surprisingly
during the past year, as many of the
people who We're addicted to the habit
became frightened and discontinued
using them. A man does not add
any to his appearance by allowing a
cigarette to hang from his lips, and
the odor of one is worse than dozer
black pipes Of strong tobacco. 1t is
a good sign that the popularity o
these coffin nails is on the wane.

The year 1892 contains 36G days, and
is therefore called "leap year" Why
this name was given to the years when
an extra day was given to the month of
February is unknown, but it probably
arose from the fact that any date in such
a year after the added day February 29)
'leaps over' the day of the week on
which it would fall in ordinary years.
Thus, March l, 1891, fell on Sunday. In
ordinary years the same date in the fol-
lowing year would fall on Monday, but
in 1892 it falls on Tuesday.
The astronomical year is measured by
the length of time required for the earth
to make a revolution about the sun. The
length of this year is 365 days, ) hours,
As minutes and 4G seconds. The calen-
dar year is therefore about six hours too
short To remedy this fault the Romans
in the time of julius Caesar determined
to introduce an extra day in every fou,
! years. But a year of 365 days and siS
hours is little longer than the actua
! time required for the revolution of tn,
earth about the sun. In the course o
centuries this difference became consid
erable, and in the siXteeth century TIN
equinoXes occurred eleven or twelv
days sooner than they should have oc
cured according to the calendar, or oi
the tenth instead of the twenty-frst 0
March.
To correct this the Council Of Nice
called by Pope Gregory MIL. ordained
that the fifth of October, 1882, should
be called the fifteenth, and that the clos
ing year in each century-1790, 1900 an,
1900, etc.-shoud not be counted as
leap year except when the number o
the centurywas divisibe by four. Thus
1900 was nd 2000 and 2400 will be leal
years. England did not adopt the Gre
gorian calendar until 1852, and Russis
has never adopted it, consequently the
Russian reckoning is now twelve days
| behind ours.

SENATOR CARLISLE, of Kentucky, has
been subjected to much criticism
since he introduced bill into the
Senate providing that the taxes on
improved lands in the District OF
Columbia shall not be higher than
those levied upon equally valuable
unimproyed. Only rough sketch of
the measure has been seen, but it is
enough to show that Mr.. Carlisle is
directing his energy and talents in
the proper direction. The bill is in
perfect harmony with single tax
theories, of which the Senator is IA
quiet advocate, although, like severa
other leading statesmen, he has Nv
yet openly committed himself to "a.
that the doctrine demands. 1t il
scarcely probable that the bill viii
become a law, rs the spectators ano
landlords are very powerful there, bu
it is an encouragement to the folloH
ers OF Henry Georges views to see
