Decision for Andrews.

At Meadville last Saturday Judge Hen
derson read an opinion awarding the sea-
in the State House of Representatives e
William II. Andrews W. F. Highly had
an apparent majority of % votes, and an
examination of the ballots Of unregistered
voters whose afiidavits were detective il
creased the Highly majority to 50.
This would indicate Higby's official ma
jority if the contest had not been carried
further, but Andrews had challenged the
legality of the vote Of Sparta, Cambridg,
and Pine townships on the ground that the
elections were held in the adjoining
boroughs instead of the township districts
On this point the Court ruled in favor OF
the contestants contention by throwing
ont the vote of the three townships. which
gives Andrews a majority of 81 and the
legislative seat as far as the contest before
that court is concerned.

Restriction Of immigration.

The sentiment of restricting immigra-
is gaining ground in this country among
all classes. IL is clear that the United
States has been the favorite dumping
ground of Europe. Here she has sent her
vicious, poor and improvident classes.
From all countries in Europe they come
until we have as many as we can absorb
without introducing disturbing elements in
to society. ofcourse the United States is
composed largely OF citizens of foreigi
blood. The average citizen here is a mix
ture of two or three races. You can hardly
find one who cannot trace his lineage To
German, French, English or Irish extrae-
ton. tits common to hear one say: "Well
l am partly Irish, English French or Ger
man. There are no pure blooded people
here, except among the original immi-
grants. Americans are mixture of ali
1t is not from any pride in blood that
the sentiment against immigration exists
1t is rather because the country is being
flooded with the worst classes of the Eur
opean nations and these persons, when
they get here, enter INTO competition with
the American laborers and create strug-
gle for wages, which is becoming too fierce
to be restrained within peaceable limits.
Those ignorant men are not seeking free
dom, are not animated by the spirit of ouT
institutions, yet they are made American
citizens aud clothed with all the rights oi
American freemen. Theyvote, they ming
le with the people, they compete with
American labor, and this sharp competition
is what makes the future uncertain
Much might be said as to the political
danger springing from this ignorant class,
but the demand for restriction seems now
to rest ON the necessity Of protecting Amer
ican laborers against unfair and ruinous
competition. The restriction which the
country viii approve is such as will give
protection TO wages, as prices in manuiac-
tnred goods are protected bv tariff. In
other words 1t Is the application of the Re
publican principle OF protection to immi-
grafton. There is reason in all things, and
restriction or regulation OF this matter
shnuld bo moderate. There is always a
golden mean and that should be sought
. out and adoptcd.-EL.

Our New Officers.

AT noon Of Monday (Jan. I'd, 1889
quito a number Of the friends Of Hon. John
M. Greer and District Attorney AcJunkin,
assembled In the Prothonotary's office to
see them sworn into Office. Judge Hazen
was present. and administered the oath,
first to Mr.. Greer and then to Mr.. McJun-
Kin in digni6ed and proper manner; and
then everybody congratulated the smiling
and happy gentlemen who had reached
the goals OF their ambitions.
Judge Greer il 40 well known through
ont the districtsor his afabiiity and courte-
ousness, as well as legal attainments, that
we deem it unnecessary to add any thing
to our, hearty congratulations and best
wishes for full and honorable term Of the
high Office he holds.
Hr. q. r. l.. McQuistion was sworn in
by Prothonotary Brown that afternoon.
THE Andrews Highly election contest in
Crawford county promises to be somewhat
ofa boomerang affair for Andrews the
contestant, at least il starts out that way.
The ballot boxes in the four wards OF
MesdvilIe and of township were opened
in court.
In these five districts it was alleged that
there were 40 irregular votes polled, and
on examination IL was found that 80 Of
these were for Andrews and 8 for Highly.
The ballot boxes Of nearly every district
in the county are at the Sheriff's office,
and the balots Of all persons claimed to
have voted contrary to law will be inspect
ed, to see for whom they voted. 1t is
thought there will be some interesting
developments when the Titusville boxes,
where Andrews had nearly all the votes,
ore opened, as in one Of the wards there
every man on the registration list was
counted, although the assessor had mark
ed several "Gone. Sharon Herald.

Needed Postal Reforms.

Among the commemorations of Columbus
year there is to be new issue of postage
stamps with artistic designs appropriate to
the occasion. 1t is well that the aesthetic
sentiment should be cultivated, even in
such an ordinary things as postage stamp.
But more beneficial outcome of the
Worlds Fair congress would be the
adoption Of an International postage stamp,
to be sold by every country throughout the
Postal Union and receivable for letters
and packages in all parts of the allied
service.
Another must urgently needed reform is
the introduction of more rapid delivery
than that which our railways afford, espe-
cially in connection with large cities. Eu-
rope is ahead Of us in this respect. Letters
dropped in the Paris Post Office are deliv-
cred in Berlin, seven hundred and fifty
miles distant, in an hour and half BY
means of pneumatic tubes. A beginning i
proposed here, between New York and
Brooklyn, which certainly deserves success
If it proves practical the government
should take up the matter and extend to
all parts of the United States pneumatic
tube system, to be the property Of the Post
Office and TO be operated exclusively by
that department.--New York Herald.

me, and our difference in politics had moth

ton McMichel, of Philadelphia, sat with
me in the constitutional convention, and,
after we had been at work for several
weeks, he said: Lawrence, / never heard
much about Buckaiew, but he is a wonder
fully brilliant man. His estimate was cor

.Buckalew, like Judge Jere Black, was
very careless about bis dress. remember
one day was walking down Chestnut st
in Philadelphia, with him His coat was
badly torn, and he stepped into a tailor
shop to have it repaired. The tailor told
him to come back in a few hours and gave
him white dnster to wear in the mean
time. Unmindful of his appearance, Buck
alew worked in the convention all after
noon. The members laughed good deal
abont bis duster, for it was out OF season,
but it never dawned upon him that he
