RECENT disclosures Of certain happen

President and some Of MS advisers Mr.
Harrison seems TO have felt probably a
not unnatural desire TO reward some OF

driblets Of patronage a. renamed TO

lols manner. Ex-senator ''Gil flerce
of North Dakota was sent abroad as min

Mr.. Harrison went out He spent some
time travelling IN Italy and France and

a diplomatic position There were some

II the last few weeks all the Demo
cratic papers in the county have had
something to say in regard to changing
the system OF nominating candidates.
The editor of this paper, as chairman
of the Democratic county committee,
has received numerous letters and has
talked TO a number of Democrats
throughout the county, some advocating
change while Others protest against the
idea of holding a special election as ad-
vocated in some of the papers, expres =
ing the opinion that a special election
would be slimly attended, there being no
candidates to stir up the people and get
out the vote, and the result would not be
satisfactory.
There are about half dozen different
I systems, each with friends anxious TO
/ have their system voted upon. There i
I the old delegate system, the increased
/ delegate system, one explained in the
1 Johnstown Herald a short time ago and
| called the Cambria system and there
are one or two others not yet perfected
+ or named but with some patent improve
\ ment which in the minds of the invent
\ oTs will keep any cogs from slipping and
\ do the work better than any other To
put all these systems before the people
and divide the vote would be To continue
the present system with all its evils.
When We consider the further fact
\ that special election would cost in the
neighborhood Of $500, with no funds IN
the treasury and no definite means OF
raising it, We are strongly of the opinion
that the project of holding a special
election would be impracticable, and il
( held would be unsatisfactory in its results.
We are glad TO see the question of a
change discussed as II will lead TO some
7 change, no matter what, that Will b.
better for the party than the present sys-
/ tenn.

have been directed by Secretary Gresham
TO examine more thoroughly than nas

THE Democrats in the House on Tues
day, says the Harrisburg Patriot, tried
hard, but ineffectively, to prevent the
Farr compulsory education bill from
taking another step on its way to the
governor. The only active opposition
to II on the Republican side was from
Mr.. Lytle, of Huntington, who made
one of his customary srraddling speeches
and then voted in favor of the bill be
cause, he said, his constituents wanted 1t.
The vote by which il passed the House
finally was 123 to IS.
The Republicans are said to favor the
bill and will endeavor to secure its pas
sage in the House and Senate so as to
put the Governor "in a hole" Two
years ago he vetoed a similar measure
and their plan is to again give him a
chance to place himself on record on
this question, which they assert is popu-
lar with the masses.
The bill provides for attendance OF
children between eight and twelve years
for sixteen weeks at a school in which
the common English branches are
taught. unless such children are excused
by the school board for satisfactory rea~
sons Assessors are required to make
an annual enrolment of children be-
tween these ages. In case of neglect to
send children to schoo. the persons Of
Tending, after notification in writing by
the secretary of school board and oppor-
tunity giEen to comply with the require
ments- of the act, shall be liable to a
fine not exceeding two dollars on the first
conviction and five dollars for each sub
sequent conviction.

impossible for Congress to enact a new

at the regular session beginning in De

course bring the matter to settlement
much quicker, a. it met IN advance of

Of my heart. My greatest af1iction was

tanned opiates which would finally be fnjuri-
