Notwithstanding the reports OF Mr.
Blaines improved condition he is still
a very sick man, and there is genuine
cause for the serious alarm felt for him
by lis friends. Should he suffer another
attack of heart failure such as that
which he underwent last Sunday. 1t is
not believed that he can possibly sur
Viye. The truth is that Mr.. Blaine has
been a sick man. more or less, ever since
1876, when, II win be remembered by
some. he had a fainting spell on the
streets Of Washington. His present III
ness is but the elimination OF n disease
Of which he has so long been victim.
and having tried his constitution 10 the
utmost. it is evident now that the end is

THE CITY PRINTING.

we regret that our neighbor, the State,
finds fault with the action Of the Com
mlttee on Printing OF the City Council
IN awarding the contract to THE Times
Monday night We do not see how the
committee could have done otherwise
upon the state Of the case. The facts
are simply these:
In the advertisement for bids the fol-
lowing stipulation was made: "Advertis-
ing per square. or inch. each insertion,
NoNPAREIL TYPE. CLOSE" In COM
pliance with this. The Times submitted
q bid at the rate OF As cents per inch
single column each insertion, and so cents
per inch each Insertion for rule and figure
work, ard stated in closing its proposal;
"All OF the above to be set in nonpareil
type close as per your advertisement for
proposals
The States bid was for 30 and 35 cents
per inch. or twelve lines "NONPAREIL
TYPE MEASURE" This was clearly
not In conformity with the advertisement.
and without more than few minutes
deliberation the committee awarded the
contract to The Times. for reasons that
are quite obvious to any printer.
The clerk Of the committee is a prac-
tical composltor and president of the
Richmond typographical Union, besides
being an employee of the State office. Mr..
Bowden. who offered the resolutions
awarding the contract to The Times, is
also a practical printer. and we believe
that some years ago he worded the con-
tract as above in order TO prevent the
use OF unnecessary space in the setting
up Of the city's advertising
At the meeting were present representa-
tiyes from leading printing establish
ments, one of whom was consulted by
a member of the committee while the
question was pending. and all acquiesced
in the committees decision.
The committee distinctly designated the
size Of the type to be used in printing
ordinances. not the method of measure
ment and now that the case has been
settled In accordance with the require
ments laid down by themselves. we do
not see any possible way that the COM
mittee can recede from its position.

I Benjamin. Ochenhouser, brake
man employed on the Central, while
shifting cars on that road near the
South Fairview repair shops Monday
week, by a sudden jerk was thrown
to the track and heavy gondola pass
ed over his left leg above the knee
completely crushing it. The case was
all the more sad when the fact is
known that he only recently returned
to work after an illness. He died a
short time afterwards and was buried
at Lehighton last Thursday. Ochen
houser was a native Of this town and
the funeral was largely attended.
+ Lehigh Valley mileage tickets are
now good on all Erie trains between
Weaverly and Elmira. The order went
into effect quite recently, and will
prove a decided convenience to people
about there. Jersey Central and Read
ing mileage tickets are also honored
over the same part of the road.
! Among the measures to be intro
duced in the house of representatives
of this state early after its organization
will be a bill aimed at the Pennsylva-

these two corporations among their

More Like the German Language Than
Very Many suppose.
There are those who ignorantly tell
us with much show of learning that
Pennsylvania Dutch is no language
but is a mere corruption Of normal
German after its arrival in America;
that Pennsylvania German knows
nothing about German literature or
the High German tongue, and a native
of Germany cannot understand the
Eastern Pennsylvania dialect; that it is
a mere nondescript patois or vulgar
lingo, unworthy of being learned and
unworthy Of being called a language.
Now, it is not the language of German
literature, TO be sure, It is not the
language Of the German schools. It is
not the language of Luther or of Goethe
or of Hegel It is at best only a
spoken language. But who that speaks
the English tongue speaks like Addison
MacauleY OF Shakespeare II is
language, and it Is the German langu-
age. Pennsylvania Dutch. it must be
admitted, is to-day more like the Ger
man of Luther than the English of to-
day is like the English of Chaucer. Is
modern English then a mere corrup-
tion Of normal English after its arrival
Ia this country
Pennsylvania Dutch is the ordinary
colloquial speech Of the German peo-
pie with the corners rubbed Off, as the

South German dialects, brought from

IL comes with exceedingly bad grace

against gambling and the selling OF

nothing if not vindictive even to the

with bad grace from him as we nave

Kuntz has evidently lost his head, OF
else he wilfully forgets that people
