The Philadelphia Times speaks of the
calamity bowler in the following style:
'Let the calamity bowler be sent to the
rear. He is not the pessimist, but the
pest of the community, and he should be
Stunned as the enemy of every class and
section of the land. He is the foe of
peace, of plenty and of prosperity, and
his greatest delight would be to see the
present misfortunes of the country null
tiplied and sorrow widened in every
channel of industry and trade. There
much to hope for in the present bust
ness condition. Let good citizens of
every political faith stand shoulder to
shoulder, and by manfully pointing out
the peris which beset them and strength
ing each other, and the varied interest of
the country in the advancement to
which we are entitled by our exampled
resources and the boundless energies
that would give thrift even in less ia
yored land. Don't magnify calamity"

erai Remley announces that he will ap-
peal to the supreme court of the United

cided few days ago by Judge Shiras.

clares it an unheard of arrogation of
authority on the part of the federal
courts.

The senate of the United States is
composed. when all the seats are filled,
OF 30 members, representing As states.
All seats except the one for which Mr.
Corbett, of Oregon, is a claimant, are
now filled. 1t thus requires As votes to
furnish majority in the senate. The
recent statement by the Washington
Post analyzing the membership politi-
cally shows that the republicans have
but 43, the democrats "a, the populists 7,
and silver republicans 5. Thus it will
be seen that the straight republicans
have not majority of the senate and
must secure at least two votes from the
members who do not affiliate with them
These will be forthcoming no doubt

struck by lightning at a. m. and de.

equilibrium. The question of curing
cholera was discussed at length, but the
best authorities agreed that the cure has

Tragedy may be associated with
cheap domestic goods, and with "bar
gain counters" Articles are kept IN
and other stores, the materials of which
cost almost fully the price for which
the goods may be bought. The Rever-
end Doctor Parkhurst Of New York
had a word to say in a recent sermon
about goods into which may have been
sewed the struggle for life of many a
half-starved, wTetched woman He
said: "If lady goes TO store and
buys an article that she knows is mar
yelously cheap, and cannot understand
how such a piece of handmade work
can be sold at so pitiable price, she
knows, if she knows anything about
the industrial conditions of the world
she lives in, that some poor girl, in
some sickly back alley, has been half
paid for her work, and she-the elegant
ladv-gets the benefit of it, This city
is full of this, and so is every other
city. The purchaser does not kill the
Girl outright, but she helps to kill her
nv inches" The preachers declaration
j.. mainly true. Few women, however,
stop long enough to realize that in the
purchase of such goods they are encour-
aging extortion; are taking from labor
the lust returns to which, by the law of
God and of human brotherhood, it is
entitled: and are upholding system of
trade that, in its cruel effects, holds
commerce with privation, and hunger,
and vice, and death itself. Purchasers
should think of this whenthey are at
tracted by the pecuniary allurements OF
the bargain counter.
