The bottom crop in Texas will
not pan out much cotton, but the
indications are for a larger top crop
than has been gathered in many
years. The prediction of Foster
that frosts will be late this season
except in the extreme north is in
line with this prospect and greatly
increase it.

The member of Congress who fol-
any pretence rises in his place to
object to the consideration of a
resolution preventing the landing
of Anarchists and deporting those
already here, is open to the charge
of treason against the peace and
security of the Nation for whose
behoof he pretends to act and in
whose service he has taken a
solemn oath of office. That man is
not to be trusted.

promise and is well placed to lead
off in the revolt against a solid

great incentive to good work in

might even work revolution two

The management of Maurice Drew's

night, did not leave very favorable inn
preston upon Manager 7. II. Hutchinson,
of the Ferguson House, when the time ar.
rived for the company to take its depart.
ure yesterday.
The company remained as guests of the
hotel during the week. Yesterday after
noon the manager called on Mr.. Hutchin.
son for the bill and went upstairs to get
the money. Meanwhile the members Of
the troupe went to the Lehigh Valley de-
pot their trunks being taken down at the
same time. The manager hurriedly en-
tered the Office of the hotel few min
utes later and threw down the hotel
bill with a number of greenbacks
of small denominations upon the desk
He did not wait for a receipt, but hurried
after the troupe to the depot. Mr. Hutch
inson counted the small bills and found
the total eleven dollars short of the re-
quired amount. In company with Detec-
tive Amour the landlord hurried to the
depot. The compqny was already on the
train and as the detective and Mr.
Hutchinson bowed in sight they hailed
them with shouts of "Ta-ta Hutchy," etc.
Amour jumped on the train as it pulled
ouJ from the station. He was unable to
learn who the manager of the company
was, Hutchinson having remained behind,
but he found out who handled the rail
road tickets and pounced upon him as
the manager. This individual proved
to be Mr. Drew. The detective explained
the shortage, but Mr.. Drew only scoffed
at him. "Ta-ta, me boy" said he, eve

are checked and l have the railroad
tickets" Other mem bers of the company
joined in deriding the detective who was
growing hot He said to Drew, II don't
want the trunks, or the tickets.
want that eleven-dollar balance" Drew
seemed to be enjoying hims ,lf immensely
and continued jollying the detective.
Amour is powerful man. Finding per
suasion of no avail he said, "It l can't
get the money I'll take you," and with a
good strong pull he lifted the actor from
the seat and almost over the back of it.
The train had reached Mahanoy City by
this time and the actor, finding that he was
doomed to part company with his fellow
thespians if he did not pay the money,
handed the detective the eleven dollars.
AS Amour took the bills he raised his hat
and said, addressing the members of the
company: "In behalf of Mr.. Hutchinson,
allow me to say 'ta-ta.' The detective
then alighted from the train amid the
laughter of the vanquished, but still jolly,
thespians.

is something wrong. They say it Is not a
model institution, and excuse the irregu-
lsrities By the quotation Of similar ones
in other institutions. But we have a
right to model institution, or to know
the reason why we have not. It is a
shame aud everlasting disgrace to our
civilization when justice is demanded to
be put Off with an explanation of Injustice,
or when purity is demanded to be offered
an apology for impurity. We are told
that the Auditors ought to have made
these charges sooner. Perhaps so. But
better late than never, Besides burnt
child breads the fire. Some time since,
so am reliably informed, an official was
convicted in our courts for some aims
house villaiuy, but lie has not yet been
sentenced. There must be an enlightened
public sentiment behind such prOsecu-
tions to avoid miscarriage of jus,
tice Hence the wisdom of their course.
II the charges can be disproved none will
rejoice more than the ministers. They
would rather prove that Il few witnesses
have borne false testimony than to have it
demonstrated that our county poor have
been subjected to such vile atrocities as
are alleged.

A Cock Fight,

A number of sports of this town and
other places conducted cock fight on the
top floor of the old Franey building at
the corner of Main and Poplar street
Saturday night. The affair was conducted
with so much secrecy o. that even the
police failed to hear of it. At least, if
they did learn anything about it, they
took no steps to interfere. Cock fights in
a dance hall on the Main street of the
town is something of which few towns
with paid police force can boast.

proved Edifice Yesterday.
The congregation of the Primitive
Methodist church was in high glee yes
terday, the occasion being the re.opening
of their church, which had been closed
for several weeks on account of extensive
alterations and repairs. The previous
identity OF the Shurch's interior has
been entirely changed. The walls and
ceilings have been much beautitied by
the skillful brush of Thomas II. Snyder,
The prevailing color is terra Gotta. The
centre piece of the ceiling is a work of
art The old pews have been replaced by
handsome seats arranged in semi.circles
and many improvements have been made
about the pulpit. On the whole
the church IL as cosy and pretty
as any in the county. The cost
of the improvements was close upon
$1,000. Three services were held yester-
day and about four hundred dollars was
raised by contributions and pledges. The
first service was held in the morning, Rev.
John Bath, the pastor, preaching the ser.
mon. Rev. William Powick conducted
the service in the afternoon and Rev. Il.
NJ. Bateman in the evening. Tonight
there will be meeting in the church
that will be addressed by number OF
visiting clergymen and the pastor will
have an important announcement to make
to the congregation.

Oae y sal'S Drinking.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Americans
are accounted fairly sober people IN
the hurlyburly of nations, but the
figures of the Internal revenue commits
sloDer for the past year are enough to
make temperance crank staggor with
out drop Of Whiskey or beer. The
preacher, who peruses them, will HE
him to the pulpit and tell his congre.
gatioa What a nation Of drunkards we
ale, supplied with drink half the year
and dcugged with tobacco the other
half. That each year we squander upon
these Inventions of Belzebub three
times as much money as is required to
keep this great government Ill opera
ton and more than is represented by
The circulating meiium of the United
States. And when the preacher goes to
throwing mortal bonds I've can load
them with interesting, If not astonlsh-
ing facts. If he SO chooses.
We distilled last year 81, ,34G.SS GAL
Ions of liquor not including l,43O, ,3o3
gallons OF brandy, making ln all 49,.
III, 1877 gallous of alcoholic spirits. Ex-
pert parJenders estimate 63 drinks to
the gallon. Therefore there were 1904.
062 ,S9l drinks produced in this country.
A conservative estimate OF how
much was im5bed across counters IS
obOut 81 7,0000OJ gallons Of WhlSkev,
brandy and Other distilled spirits, or III
other words We drank 6,O9J 600, 900 glas-
ses of whiskey for which we PAID over
the bar SGO90J0,000 or So 0,O0O,OOO more
than al the annual appropriations OF
Congress combined.
This represents consumption or lOO
glasses of WhiSkey each year for every
man woman and child between the
rock bound Pacific and the ssorm-t0ss
ed Atlantic, Or countiog only The III tie
adults 500 glasses per week each.
Of beer the figures are equally aston
ishlng. The consumption was 3l,962,-
943 barrels; that is II, ,785, lG9, 200 glasses
representing an expenditure for this
mode Of Teutonlc hllarity Of S6l7 ,2oS,-
46O, or about 10 cents for eaca lnhaolL-
ant. In the nelghbOrhO0d of22O glasses
are charged up in this calculation
against each of us as our annual allow
ance, therefore If we do not average
our daily glass we may be sure that
our neighbor5 are getting the benefit OF
our abstinence.
By estimating this years interna! re
venue receipts from spirits on the basis
| of last years product with the increas
ed tax of Sl1O per gallon, the internal
| revenue receipts will be S9I,6A,90o.
