z Plea for Weeds.

It is hard to find anything in the world
that has rot dark as well as I bright
side-and that has not bright spot, no
matter how dark the outline may be.
Professor l.. II. Bailey has a good word
for the vilest weed. He says the truth is
that weeds always have been and still are
the closest friends and helpmates Of the
farmer. II was they which first taught
the lesson OF tillsge Of the soil, and it is
they which never allow the lesson, now
that it has been partly learned, 10 be for
gotten. The one only and sovereign
remedy for them Is the very tillage which
they have introduced. When their mig
sion is finally matured, thersfors, they
viii disappear because there will be no
place in which they can grow. Il would
be great calamity if they were now 10
disappear from the earth, for the greater
number of farmers still need the disoi-
pline which they enforce. Probably not
one farmer in ten would til his land we'll
if il we're not for these painstsking school
masters, and many of them would not
till at all. Until farmers till for tillage
sake, aud not 10 kill the weeds, it is
necessary that the weeds shall exist; but
when farmers do till for iillage sake, then
weeds viii disappear with no effort of
ours.-Neehoa's Monthly.

State. Wilhelm Snyder, of Harrisburg,
has been sentenced by Judge Simonton

DISTINGUISHING him FOR a period OF four

Judge Gunnison, of Erie, a few days
ago, filed rules governing the natnraliza-

ed necessary on account of the number of
ignorant foreigners who recently applied
for naturalization and have been refused.
The new rules fix regular terms of court
to hear petitions; petitions must be laid
over a term of court and the list must be
published i'm two weekly papers. Object
ions in writing will be heard and petition
ers must be able 10 read and spell En-
glish. IL within five years of the ming
of the application the petitioners shall
have engaged in any riot or be convicted
of any criminal ofIensc, or participated
in any conspiracy intended to unlawfiily
interfere with or control any person in
the full and free enjoyment of his Law nj
rights, or that he has departed from 'he
country from which he came TO escape
punishment for any criminal offense,
such condu ct shall be deemed evidence
that the petitioner is not attached to the
principles of the constitution Of the Unit
ell States and well disposed to good order
and happiness of the same.
Our people are growing more and
more in the habit Of looking to Ben
ford's Pharmacy for the latest and best
of everything in the drug line. They
sell Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
famous for its cures Of bad colds, Group

of such a medicine give this remedy a

ARIZONA'S OPPORTUNITY.

If by any means the plans of Dele gate Murphy shall miscarry and the Arizona statehood bill shall fail to pass in the coming short session of congress, Arizona will be looking to the next congress for relief. In these cir cumstances Ithe probable attitude of the house of representatives toward the silver question becomes an important question. If Arizona should elect a Democratic delegate, which is extreme ly unlikely, and the next president and the house should be Republican, which is practically assured, the chances of the statehood bill becoming a law in the next two years would be about equal to those of Tom Watson in the present fight. The main objection raised in the east to the admission of Arizona has been based on khe assump- tion that her senators and representa- tive in congress would flavor the free coinage of silver Delegate Murphy has had this sentiment arrayed against him at every stage of the statehood l struggle. The election of A. J. Doran this year would open the eyes of the eastern men in congress to the fact that Arizona is sound on the money question and that her admission to the
 Union would work no injury to the
 Republican party. This point should not be overlooked in the canvass now
 being so energetically pushed in the territory. IA vote for Doran and the
 other Republican nominees is long
 step in the direction of statehood and
 the benefits that will accrue from it.

He wanted every dollar to be as good as gold. He declared that ''if we coin a silver dollar of full legal tender, ob- viously below the current value of the gold dollar, we are simply opening our doors and inviting Europe to take our gold. With our gold flowing out from us we shall be forced to the sin gle silver standard and our relations with the leading commercial nations of the world will be not only embarrassed, but crippled

BLAINE MISQUOTED.

Those advocates of silver who follow the plan of quoting isolated extracts in furtherance of their so-called argu- ments are making industrious use of a portion of the speech delivered by
 the late James G. Blaine in congress
 February ', 1878, in order Ito create the impression that he then advocated free coinage and would now, if alive, be found supporting the Chicago plat form. The falsity of this view is ap-
 parent to all who will take the trouble
 to examine the record. The following extract from the speech in question has been ignored by the silver shout CTS:
 Assurances from empirics and scien- tists in finance that remonetization of
 the former dollar will at once and per
 manently advance it's value to par with gold are worth little in the face of op-
 posing and controlling facts. The first effect of issuing any silver dollar that
 will pay customs dues and interest on
 the public debt will undoubtedly be to
 raise it to a practical equality with gold; but that condition will only last | until the amount needful for customs shall fill the channels of its use, and the overflow going into general circu-
 lation will rapidly settle to its normal and actual Walue."
 In this statement MT. Blaine con-

LINCOLN AND BRYAN.

Distortion of Lincoln's utterances with the intention of conveying the idea that the great martyr was at heart in favor of what is now termed Bryan ism is one of the chief sins of the sil- verites in this campaign. Bryan him. self has unblushingly misrepresented Lincoln. When he first went east Unto the enemy's country he quoted from the message Lincoln sent to the con- gross in 1861;
 ''No men living are more worthy to be trusted than those who toil up from poverty, none ,less inclined, to take or touch aught which they have not hon easily earned"
 MT. Bryan told his. audience that he repeated this language "with unqualified approval" and that he joined in the warming that followed: :: 'Let them beware of surrendering political power they already possess, and which, if surrendered, will surely be used to close the door of advance ment against such as they, and to fix new disabilities and burdens upon | them till all of liberty shall be lost.'' This was a misapplication of Lin- coln.s words made deliberately to suit Bryan's strife breeding plan. Bryan ] ignored the opening sentence of the paragraph the latter portion of which he quoted. 1t reads as follows:
 Again, as has already been said, there is not of necessity any such thing as the free hired laborer being fixed to that condition for life. Many inde- pendent men everywhere in these
 states a few years back in their lives
 were hired laborers. The prudent pen
 niless beginner in the world labors fol
 wages while, saves a surplus with
 which to buy tools or land for himself
 then lalbors on his own account an
 other while, and at length hires an
 other new beginner to help him. This
 is the just and generous and prosperous
 system which opens the way to all
 gives hope to all, and consequent en ergy and progress and improvement O
 condition to all. No men living ar, more worthy to be trusted" &c! Bryan is the last man who ought t, quote Lincoln. His policy since hi
 nomination has been to raise class dis
 tinctions-to arraign the poor agains the rich. Lincoln stood for peace an National brotherhood and held ou
 hope to the working classes of pros
 perity based on diligent, honest effor : Lincoln taught that property is tn : fruit of labor. Bryan in effect advo f cates the destruction of property.

AWONDERFUL RALLY.

The demonstration in this city last

 If the Republican leaders here were surprised at the magnitude of the dis play, what will be the feeling in the east and middle west when it becomes known that in khe capital of Arizona, which some, eastern papers assume to be the head center of the silver move ment in the southwest, thousands took part in an old-fashioned Re publican rally and grew enthusi- astic over speeches endorsing the National ticket and the St
 Louis platform? There is a tremen- dous sentiment in Arizona in favor oi sound money, and it will find expres- sion at the polls November in votes for the Republican nominees. The speeches last night, which are reported ! elsewhere in this paper, were unusual | ly vigorous. It was demonstration such as the territory had never seer
