Cts Spell-binding bureau is an ardent George

"He doesn't have to resign" replied Mr..
Brown. so, far as he is concerned he was
never a member of the committee. They took

that his great personal popularity will pull him
through. Deputy superintendent John Mac

The important report comes from
Washington that President Mckin'
lev will 20 longer interpose his IN
flueuce against the passage by the
House Of the Cuban belligerency res
olution which has already passed the
Senate. 1t is said that the President
defines his position in regard to the
resolution by remarking: LET the
people have their way" 1t may be
taken for granted that the recent
course Of Spain in giving renewed
approval to the CaDovas Ministry,
and it's evident purpose to permit
Gen. Weyler to continue his policy OF
exterminating non.combatants, leaves
our government without hope that
real concessions will be offered to
Cuba, or the warfare against it's peo'
pie conducted on civilized lines. The
President therefore decides that the
time has come for Congress, as thu
representative Of the people, to use
deliberate judgment in regard t
granting belligeraut rights To th'
struggling Cubans.

PoPULIsT leaders are advising
against continuance of the fusion of
last fall between their party and the
Democrats. The uncertain attitude
of the Democratic party on the two
great questions, protection and silver,
is the cause of this unwillinguess to
continue the uuholy alliance of last
year. The fact that large numbers
of Democrats in every state where
campaigns are to take place this fall
are refusing to support the free coin.
age of silver, and that many mem.
bers of that party in Congress and
elsewhere are abandoning free trade
and supporting high protection, has
rendered a further alliance of lht
two parties improbable. Mr.. T. b

A New Holiday Law.

A new holiday law has passed both
branches of the Legislature, and is
likely TO receive Executive approval
for the very good reason that it brings
the legal holidays of Pennsylvania
into harmony with those of The other
principal states, thus avoiding the
confusion in the transaction of busi'
ness which has heretofore arisen when
a holiday was celebrated in this state
on Saturday and some other states on
Monday.
The legal holidays established by
the new law are as follows:
1. January /, New Years Day.
?. February II, Lincoln's birthday.
3. Third Tuesday of February, cleo
tion day.
4. February %, Washington's Birth
day.
8. Good Friday.
6. May 80, Memorial Day.
7. July 4, independence Day.
s. First Monday of September, Labor
Day.
9. First Tuesday after the first Mon
day of November, election day.
10. December 25, Christmas Day.
IL. Every Saturday after II o'clock
noon.
February II, Lincoln's birthday, II
new holiday. The third Tuesday
of February, the local election day
is made a full instead of half holi
day, as heretofore. When Memoria
Day falls Oh Sunday it is to be cele
brated on Monday instead Of Sslur
day, and the first Monday instead o
the first Saturday Of September
designated as Labor Day, these bein
all the changes from the old law.
While it is probable that tbes
3 changes in the law are mostly for tn
9 better, it is desirable that furtht
tiukering with the holiday law sha
e cease. The frequent changes and Il
constant addition of new holiday, b
