Both branches OF the Legislature
have agreed to make the maximum
punishment for the first conviction
for murder in the second degree
twenty years. This will be an i'm
provement in the law, since iuries,
through the mistaken sentiment of
some members, often refuse to
find in the first degree when delb-
crate and cold blooded murder is
clearly proved. Twelve years is far
too little for such criminals.
Joe Lesher of the Times, was in
town on Monday, and since we have
learned that no is n candidate for
the Selinsgrove post-oflice. Well,
ito the victors belong the spoils,
and as no one will question Joe's
loyalty to the party, we presume he
will get there. Speaking from Re
publican point of view he has been
an Offensive partisan" sacrificing
everything near and dear to him in his
devotion to the party. He has been
of invaluable service to the democra-
cy of this county and they always
knew exactly where to find him when
they needed him.
Jay Weiser, Esq, of Snyder
county, is an applicant for Consul
at Havre, France. He has large
number of letters recommending
him to President Cleveland, and
claims his chance Of appointment is
good. He is lawyer by profession
and has always been Democrat
iS,,,buyy Daily.
The above is an appropriate COM
pliment to a most deserving young
gentleman. This administration is
not our load of poles but the peo-
pie of this county,regardless of politi-
cal faith, would send up one united
shout Of approval if some Republi-
can ambassadors mantle would fall
on Mr.. Weiser's shoulders.
The old apprenticeship system is
now almost entirely obsolete 1t
would seem to indicate that the
American boy is in too much of a
hurry to get rich,t to start at the bot
tom of the ladder, and that he is
ashamedto work in overalls. He would
be an Office boy or u counter-iumper
of some sort or other, rather than
spend four years of his youth in
the old-fashioned way, learning u
trade at which he may always earn
his living. He would do well to re-
member that many of the heads of
the largest American manufactures
started as apprentices in the works
they now own.
Bob Burdette bid us remember
that good things in this world are
always cheapest. Spring water costs
less than whiskey II box of cigars
will buy two or three bibles q state
election costs more than n revival of
religion you can sleep every Sab
bath morning in church for nothing
but Il nap in n pullman car costs you
81, the circus takes fifty cents, the
ater costs 81, but the missionary box
is grateful for penny; the race
horse scoops in $4,000 the first day,
while the church bazar lasts week,
works twenty-five or thirty of the
best women in America nearly to
death and comes out $40 in debt.
III you think of marring woman,
remember you marry three creatures,
II young one, a middle-aged one and
I'm old one. Unless one or two die
before their time you marry II wife,
u mother and u grandmother. In
her you marry lot of people you
do not know. You don't marry for
to- day, or for tomorrow, but for all
sorts of situations, III she is gentle
and wise, and true, you have a bride,
but not only for the wedding day,
but for sickness, and for poverty,
and old age. II she is handsome
she will some day grow ugly, but if
she is good and true she will stand
