Two very attractive early Autumn tours
will be run by the Pennsylvansa Railroad
Company, leaving New York and Phila

1t is hardly necessary to say that
these outings are planned with the ut
most care, and that all arrangements are
adjusted SO as to afford the best possible
means of visiting each place to the bes
advantage.
The tours each cover period of eleven
days, and include the battlefield of Gettys
burg, picturesque Blue Mountain, Luray
Caverns, the Natural Bridge, Virginia
Hot Springs, the cities of Richmond and
Washington and Mt Vernon.
The round-trip rate, including all nee

strength to build and preserve it his luck
counts for nothing. One of the advanta-
ges of the Republican party is the know
ledge the people have of its character. Its
past record is an assurance of high achieve
ments in the future. 1t stands for stability
and progress. When, therefore, it is given
control of the Government every business
man feels new confidence and an impulse
to spread out his ventures instead of con-
tracing them. AS this increase of activi
ty and faith comes even before the Repub-
licans begin to 1egislate, the adherents of
other parties call it luck. But it is plainly
an example of the value of a good name
and of reputation for tested capacity

The few silver dollars that were coined
when one had to take $r.o3 to $ro5 worth
of silver to the mint in order to get dol
lar were obviously not intended for circu-
lation. They were coined in order to get
them in convenient shape for export, and
were sold in foreign countries as bullion.
The Government stamp was certificate
ofthe fneness of the metal, and they could
be sold by weight without assaying.
The act of 1884, while permitting the
free coinage of both gold and silver. estab-
hshed the gold standard; for permission
to coin silver is of no practical advantage
when the owner of the bullion has to pay
fine of from 8 to S cents for every dollar
he gets coined and puts into circulation
From that day to this barring the era of
irredeemable paper, the gold standard has
prevailed in the United States, and even
while the greenbacks were irredeemable
their value was measured in gold and not
in silver.-Lonisville Courier Journal.
That the present situation is distinctly
unfavorable for Organism, Silverism, Pop
ulism, and all the other unhealthy rashes
that aff1ict the body polite in the feverish
conditions of depressed trade, is clear to
every sensible observer.
If a national election involving the
above issues was to be held now or in the
near future the decision in favor of a
sound currency and a protective tariff
would no doubt be even more decisive
than it was in November of last year, and
much freer from doubt than it would have
been three months ago when the tide of
returning prosperity was held in check by
the unsettled state of the public mind on
the tariff question.
There are no discouraging predictions
or presentiments cloudfng the prospect at
this time, but, on the contrary, every hour
brings assuring news. And this happy
situation seems almost certain to be con-
stantly accumulated as time goes on.-Rat-
eySon Press.

American Commercial schools.

The American Business School is in a
certain sense unique. Its courses are the
result of demands made by the business
community and when due allowances are
made for the difference of environment, 1t
will be found that our hest American
Commercial Schools compare favorably
with the best European Commercial
Schools. Competent observers, who have
visited the German Commercial School at
Leipzig, pronounced the business course
of Peirce School of Philadelphia in many
respects superior to that of the European
school. The shorthand department of
PIERCE School is the largest shorthand
school in the State, its faculty is composed
of certifcated experienced stenographers,
its typewriting equipment is probably the
largest in the world, and instruction in
this art is Systematically gwen by skill
ed specialist. It's English course is thor
oughly practical.

AS USUAL the presentation of Coroners
bills at the meeting of the Board of Free.
holders was the signal for discussion.
Eternal vigilance appears to be strictly
necessary in this matter, as it seems hard
for these officers to get into the way Of
making bills in accordance with the law.
The trouble is that some of the coroners
have the impression that the Office was
created for the sole purpose of putting fees
into their pockets. In request for pay
ment of a bill Coroner Stroud said the law
gave him discretionary powers in the mat
ter of inquests. This is partially correct
The statute allows coroner to hold an in
quest when there are suspicious circum-
stances connected with a death In the
Borton case there was no doubt as to
cause of death, and an inquest was abso-
lutely unnecessary. Hence it should not
be paid for. There has been too much
leniency in this particular county expense.
The law is plain, the fees are named, and
there is a decision that ''the Coroner can
not claim any fees except those specified
IN this section" The law also provides
that jurors shall receive 81 each in each
case and no more, yet in all inquests where
the jury is called together. only to adjourn
two or three times, the allowance is 81 per
day. The committee on Coroners' bills is
to be commended for its close scrutiny of
these items, and the Board does right in
refusing to pay unjust claims

brand new Dress StuffS are on show
counting only the colors. The
Black Goods are largely new, too.
The Silk store is more gay than
the September trees, and fuller of
new goods than the oak is of acorns.
First showing of Mems Fall Hats.
Every worthy new shape is on
show.
The Annual Blanket Sale goes
on. The more one knows of goods
and markets, the more realizing the
sense of the true and unusual cheap
ness of the blankets. On many
lines values are full third above
the prices we are asking.
Furniture selling goes on at
August prices while any of August
lots remain.
The Carpet store is in full feather
for fall. 1t is practically a new
store and the builders are out. Vast
stocks of floor covering are ready.
And, bark! the school bells! A
dozen trained minds have been
planning and conjuring that the
supplies for wear and desk use of
the children should be ready as
never before. They are.
September may close Klondike
