HIS Own Secretary.

The Presidents difficulty in ill-
ing the Office of Secretary of State
is not altogether surprising. 1t is
q most distinguished position, wor-
thy the aspiration of the greatest
statesman in the land; but recent
experience has shown that great
statesmen do not find it a comfort
able position under Mr.. Harrison.
The President has developed
such a surprising ambition to run
the department himself and to be
his own Secretary of State, that
such men as public opinion might
designate for this high Office would
naturally regard it with some hesis
tation. Mr. Depew is said to
have declined it because he had
not time, or for some other reason
equally satisfactory to himself. Mr..
Depew probobly has as little
knowledge of our foreign relations
as any man of equal prominence
in public life, yet those who know
him doubt if it was modesty that
most Influenced him to decline the
| office. The name of no other CON-
spicuous man occurs as likely to be
selected who would be more likely
to accept, unless it be Mr.. Foster,
the Presidents own particular
representative in various recent
negotiations, whose busting pres
ence in the State Department
seems to have been one of the
contributing causes of Mr.. Blaine's
| withdrawal.
The really wise appointment
under the circumstances would be
that of Mr.. Wharton, the present
Assistant Secretary, who has been
carrying on the lactual business OF
the department for the past year
or more, and who is an entirely
competent department official,
with no political aspirations or
eutanglements to embarrass either
him or his chief. He would still
have to do the work if a mere fig
ure head we're appointed, and be
might as well have the honor also.
or 40 much of it as the President
may feel disposed to leave to him,
Otherwise the Office might be held
in abeyance, and the President
continue to be his own Secretary
of State. He is probably the only
man who really understands what
the foreign policy of this governs
ment is.-PhSladekph5G Times.

HIN ON MIR. CLEVELAND IN 1888.

There have been many explana-
lions OF the vote of New York in
the last Presidential election. 1t
has been persistently claimed that
President Cleveland lost the State
and that Governor Hill carried it
on account Of the latter's greater
personal popularity as a Demo
crat.
Governor Hills friends will not
challenge his own knowledge and
his public testimony al to the
reasons for the result in 1888. In
a speech in Albany on November
s, two days after the cleo ton,
Governor Hill said:
sin common which every true
Democrat l greatly regret the de-
feat of President Cleveland in the
State aud Nation. He deserved
better at the hands of the people
of this country. Honest, braye
and courageous, he gallantly led
his party in the great contest for
Tariff Reform, and suffered defeat
owing to false clamor,unjust preju-
dice, unfair representations and the
gigantic and combined efforts OF
all the monopolists of the country.
"He Hid his duty as he under
stood it regardless of personal or
political considerations, and he
should have been sustained by the
taxpayers, consumers and masses
of the people, whose true
interests he desired to sub
serve,and whose rights he unselfsh-
ly endeavored to maintain.
1t is not necessary or profitable
to inquire whether the issue he so
boldly made might not more wisely
have been earlier presented, or
postponed to a later period. It is
sufficient to say that as the trusted
leader of the Democratic party,
after a full and careful considera-
ton of the whole subject,h e deemed
that the best and trnest interests
of the country required that the

EVEN the Republicans begin to
discern the handwriting on the
wall. One of our Republican con-
temporaries publishes a special dis

tains the following highly interest
ing information j: 1t has been de-
cided by the President that the
successor of Mr.. Blaine in the State
Department shall only serve until
March 4, 1892, and whoever ace
cepts the Office will do SO with
this condition explicitly stated to
him !" 1t would seem scarcely
necessary to inform any probable
secretary of State that his term
will probably end March 4, 1892

issue should be made at this crisis,
and with that patriotic and deliber-
ate conclusion, when once reached,
there should have been prompt
acquiesence.
"The principle of Tariff Reform
has only met with temporary de-
feat. Sooner or later it will ulti-
mately triumph in this country.
President Cleveland and the Dem.
ocratic party were right and de-
served to succeed. The argument
was with us, and two weeks longer
di scussion would have given us the
victory.

bushels, and the guesses vary from
510,000,00O to 575,00O,oOO.
Corn is an exception tothe rule.
The crop, owing to heavy and
long continued rains, was very late
in planting this year, and in every
State is in a backward condition.
Though the present weather will
bring it out rapidly, farmers fear
that it will not have time for ma
turity. Tobacco planting in this
State is completed. and according
to the best reports there is a full
acreage.
The present heat, though it
brings personal discomforts, is
needed. It ripens the wheat, and
under it's influence one can almost
see the corn and tobacco grow

Crop Indications.

So far the.crop indications are
most favorable. In this State wheat
is excellent, and it is ripening fast
under the hot sum of the last few
days, while oats in many sections
are said to be the best in the last
forty years. Not only in this State
but in all others wheat is good. The
product will not be phenomenal,
like that of last year, which the
government estimated at 612,OOO,-
600 bushels, though it really was
more, but unless something ex4
tremely unfavorable should occur
very soon it will be above the avs
erage. Already many authorities
are calculating its quantity in

A very rich shade of tomato-red camel's-

make a round waist, with yoke and enorm-

to be all in one piece, as the seams on the
shoulders which join them are covered with
sort of epaulet finish of very elegant cut
jet. A single row Of black moss trimming
is at the foot of the red bell-skirt, with five
rows Of cut-jet gimp above.
Other dresses in similar fashion are made
of violet cloth, hunter's-green vigogne, or

skirts are set two very narrow bias bands of

SERIOUS BLOOD POISON CASES

One Man Dies From Cutting His Corns,
Another Bitten by a Rat.
John Bower, well-known Braddock
township farmer died on Sunday from blood
poisoning, produced by cutting into a corn
on his foot few days previously. He had
lived on the same farm for 62 years and was
one of the Oldest residents of the county.
George Williams, driver for the Pearl
Laundry Company, two weeks ago caught q
rat in his hands and was bitten on the
wrist. On Saturday blood poison devel-
oped. The wrist swelled up and became so
painful he was sent to the Homeopathic
Hospital. It is now feared amputation
of the arm will be necessary.
