THE TOPIC OF THE HOUR.

Within the past year, and espec-
tally within the past six months,
finance has taken, as topic of press
discussion, the place occupied for
several years past by the tariff.
Contradictory and irreconcilable
as are the positions, complex and
confused as are the arguments, of
the political parties and leaders of
the country upon the tariff ques-
tion, they are no less so upon the
question of finance. The great po-
litical problem of the day in the
United States is the problem of re-
forming the National currency.
The man or woman who pretends
to be we'll informed will not be con-
tent to learn the views of a few
newspapers only upon the financial
and other question of the hour, but
will seek in some way to get sur
vey of the press discussion in all
parts of the country and upon all
sides of the questions at issue.
There is no way to get such sur
vey except by reading a journal
that gives extracts and condensed d
statements from all the leading
representative papers and reviews.
Such journal is Public Opinion,
published weekly at Washington,
d. G. In its particular field it is
unique and unrivaled. 1t covers
the entire range of current news
and comment, political, sociological,
financial, scientific, religious, liter
ary, both American and foreign.
In connection, with the American
Institute of Civics it has inaugu-
rated an exceedingly helpful plan
for the study of current topics. CA

organization and conduct of clubs
and valuable suggestions as to
methods of work will be sent for

ley, teacher In the grammar de-
partment, attempting to inflict
punishment on Louis Hufford,a son
of David Hufford, for disobedience.
The whipping was to take place
Immediately after the close of the
afternoon session at A O'clock. AS
soon as school was dismissed some
pupils ran to the home of Young
Hufford and related the story to
his father, while others ran and told
his brother William, who Is about
20 years old, and a blacksmith by
trade. Immediately the father and
elder brother started for the school,
house, the father with a knife and
the brother with an iron. tits said
the father and brother made va
rious threats. There was a gener-
al fight on their arrival at the
school house. Crowley, one of
the teachers, told them not
to come in, but they paid no atten-
tion, and rs the father attempted
to 60 through the door he struck
the teacher a blow with q knife
infiicting painful wound.
The teacher knocked him down,
and by that time the brother was
making for him with an iron poker,
but he in turn was knocked down.
From this on general fight ensued
in which all were more or less in
jured. During the fight the teach
er knocked the father down a flight
of stairs, and sent the older brother
close to his heels. The younger son
held for chastisement, made good
his escape, DR.. Sutton dressed the
wounds made with the knife. Ex-
citement runs high over the affair.

The Signs ofthe Times.

The signs of the times are favora-
BILE for the betterment of munich
pal government in Philadelphia.
The most auspicious sign is the
war that has suddenly broken out
in the ranks of the Republican par
ty. 1t Is q truth that does not ad-
init of dispute that an extreme
party preponderence is always a
municipal misfortune. Unwieldy
Democratic majorities in New
York, and unwieldy Republican
majorities in Philadelphia have
brought about evil conditions in
both cities. 1t is a reason for re-
joicing and for bonfires that Demo-
cratic distractions in New York
and Republican distractions in
Philadelphia have given the peo-
pie an opportunity to upset parti-
san applicants and bring on sea-
son of reform and retrenchment.
Next to the breakup among the
Republicans of Philadelphia in as
suring the promise offuture better
ment is the coming together and
reorganization of u solid Democra-
'cy. When Democrats pull togeth-
er, they furnish the fulcrum upon
which the reform lover can be ad-
vantageously placed. At their prl-
mary elections and in their con-
We ntions TO be held this week they
will be enabled togive the voters
of Philadelphia the opportunity to
snatch the city out Of the hands of
the cormorants who are organized
to plunder it for their own enrich
ment.
With Pattison, Bullitt, Cadwala-
der, Banes or Thompson at the
front, backed up by the nomina-
tions of equally meritorious and
honest citizens fit for the positions
for which they may be named, the
Democracy might command the
situation, not because they are
Democrats, but because they have
properly measured and answered
the public expectation.
The people of Philadelphia are
ready to rebuke corruption and
maladministration. They only wish
to be assured that in stepping out
of the mud they will not be tasked
to step into the mire.
1t is a great opportunity.-Plain
