The Joint Committee, at Harrisburg,
ballot law amendments, has about COM
pleted its work. One change has been
made, which Is contrary To the wishes of
the Ballot iReform Association. This
consists in the adoption of the Ohio plan
of marking the ticket and the abandon
ing of the group system. One cross in a
party circle at the head of the ballot un-
der the proposed plan will vote an en-
tire straight ticket. 4 voter who de
sires to scratch must place a cross Oppo-
site the name of each and every candi-
date for whom he desires to vote This
provision will certainly tend to the dis
couragement of independent selections.
Other amendments agreed upon to
strike off the residences of candidates
from the ticket, shorten the time for fl
ing objections and thereby increase the
limit allowed for the printing of tickets.
The percentage of the total vote necessa-
ry for party nomination is decreased
3 to ,. This change will let ia Prohibi-
tionists and presumably put an end to
their protests against the system. The
number of official and sample ballots is
reduced and the county commissioners
are given charge of all of the printing.

President CLEVELAND on Monday
sent to the Senate the names of the gen
tlemen whom he had selected as his con
stitutional advisers, and the Senate
promptly confirmed the selections. The
Cabinet, therefore, is in working order
and ready to proceed to business; and
never has a Cabinet been confronted at
the outset with business of graver i'm
port to the interests of the whole coun
try-a fact in which lies the best assur-
ance that it will address itself to its ap-
pointed task with a wise measure of de
liberation.

THIS is a winter. saws the Pressure ISL

THIS is win ter, says the Presque Isle
(Me.) Beacon, that tries mans religion,
and if'a few "cuss" words will sometimes
escape him it should be overlooked and
no doubt will be. First his sink spout
freezes up, then the pump refuses to
furnish water, one end of the house
heaves up, the doors refuse to shut and
first one corner and then another Is
planed off; the house plants all get
nipped by the frost, his better half gets
mad and threatens to get divorce and
drives him out of the house with a
rolling pin. Surely this is winter of
SOrrow indeed.

Tile English rnilroads use a mnc

THE English railroads use a much
heavier rail than is commonly used il
this country, and for a simple reason,
namely, the cheapness of steel and the
costliness of timber. Cross ties ase scarce
in England, and for that reason few OF
them are used, only about 1000 to the
mile, while in America the average l.
from 2G0O to 5000. The further apart
the ties the heavier the rail must be, so
while the rail used on most of the roads
in this country weighs from 63 TO 20
pounds to the yard, that on the Eng
hsh roads is from 80 to 100 pounds.

The attendance at the Inauguration
at Washington, was large, but not as
large as it would have been had the
weather been clear. The storm reduced
the number of excursionists from the
immediate vicinity more than one half,
according to the estimates OF the
railroad men. 1t also played havoc
with the street decorations and kept a
number Of the most striking features out
of the parade, besides lessening the
number of paraders in the organizations
which braved the weather, and it is very
likely that it will result in harvest for
the doctors, and perhaps for the grave
iiiggers too

NEW YORK STATE experiences the
same necessity for amending defects IN
her ballot law as is experienced IN
Pennsylvania, and the attention Of
Legislatures of both states Is urgently
called to this duty. The fact is that the
new ballot law of both of these states
were doctored to some extent TO serve
interests which in its object ballotreform
was intended to ignore and now the
necessity for correcting this error has
become obvious and imperative.

A recent New York dispatch reads:
"James c. II, fine looking and

stagger while walking on Fifth Avenue this
afternoon, and after taking one or two un'
certain steps fell to the sidewalk. When
picked up he was dead. A physician ex-
amined the body ,and pronounced hedrtdiseaSe
the cause of death. A peculiarly sad feature
of the case is that Mr.. Il was on his
way to Maine, to settle in the home of his
boyhood. He had passed the previous ten
years in the western mining country, and had
amassed fortune. IfYOU have any of the
symptoms given in the following

NATURE DEMANDS A TONIC.

We ought never to forget, even those
of us who possess vigorous health, that
we are wearing out-that the vital
clock work, so to speak, must event
ually run down. This, of course, we
cannot prevent, because 1t Is in the
ordinary course of nature, but we may
retard the too speedy arrival of decay
by the use Of an invigorant which takes
rank of every other-namely, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters This century
has not witnessed a parallel in success
to this famous medicine, which not only
sustains health by promoting vigor,
but overcomes constipation, dyspepsia,
chills and fever, nervousness, rheuma
tism, and other disordered conditions
of the system fostered by weakness
and an impoverished condition of the
blood. The feeble, persons convalescing
after exhausting disease, and the aged.
derive infinite benefit from the use of
this helpful and efficient tonic.

discovery Of this product, and the
demonstration of its remarkable
qualities, has attracted the widest

To such people, CoTToLENE is of
