Justices Commission Held Back

In September, 1896, Justice p. f. De
vine, of Blythe township, Schuylkill
county, was tried and convicted of con-
spiracy to defraud the school district
and sent to prison. In February, 1897,
Charles Mcdonald was elected a Justice
to fill the supposed vacancy. The latter
applied for commission, but Secretary
Reeder decided to wait until he could
get an opinion from the attorney gem
eral. As Devine was convicted of con-
spiracy ''to cheat and defraud the school
district" the moa aiming of the constitu-
tion, Attorney General Mccormick says
is proper question for the courts. He
advises that the commission be withheld
until it is settled,

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh

that contain mercury, as mercury will
surely destroy the sense of smell and
completely derange the whole system
when entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should never be
used except on prescriptions from reput-
able physicians, as the damage they will
do is ten-fold to the good you can posi-
bly, derive from them. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by f. j. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, O., contains no mercury,
and is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. In buying Halls Catarrh
Cure be sure you get the genuine. 1t is
taken internally, and made in Toledo,
Ohio, by f. j. Cheney & Co. Testi-
monials free.
gss Sold by druggists; price, 75c a bottle.

HON. JOHN F.. sHAFRoTH's
BILL.

CONGRESSMAN JOHN F. SHAFRorH
of Colorado introduced the follow
ing bill on June 18th, 1897:
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Con-
gress assembled, that the arid lands
of the United States not held for
military reservations, Indian reser-
vations, or other public purposes
be, and the same are hereby, granted
to the respective States in which
the same are situate, upon the con-
dition that said lands shall, by
means of irrigation, be reclaimed
for agricultural purposes by the re-
spective States or parties contract
ing Herewith.
Sec. 2.-That as soon as any
lands are so reclaimed, patents
therefor in legal subdivisions shall
be issued by the United States to
the respective States in which such
lands are situate, and when any
part of a legal subdivision of one
hundred and sixty acres is so re-
claimed, patent shall be issued for
the entire quarter section.
Sec. 3.-!That the Secretary of
the Interior is hereby authorized to
make such rules and regulations
for the purpose of enforcing the
above Act as may be just and
proper.
We are of the opinion that Con-
gresham John F. Shafroth and his

branches of Congress ought to pass
it without delay.

A WORD FOR SPEAKER REED

Thar the bitter partisan arraign-
ment of Speaker Reed should reach
and affect the ranks of the cranks
and jokers need surprise nobody.
1t has not surprised the Speaker
himself. He treats the matter
lightly, like the philosopher and
max OF courage that he is. In the
present Congressional controversy,
the Populists and few Democrats
have persisted in holding the
Speaker up to obloquy as q tyrant,
a usurper Of authority, a menace to
Congressional liberty. In all de-
clamation from these sources, and
IN the work OF the comic prints In
tended to supplement it, the
Speaker has been represented as a
browning bully, gaveli in hand, over
awning Representatives, and refusing
to permit any business but of his
own choosing to be transacted.
At the same time, what a gross
perversion Of the truth that repre-
sentation of the Speaker isl So far
from dominating the situation
singlehanded, Mr.. Reed Is the or
gan Of the majority in the attitude
he occupies. He has been formally

vERITE SANS PEUR.
Editor Of the Broad Ar:

Please allow space IN your news
paper to drop few thoughts along
these lines. To the good people of
the colore6 race of Salt Lake City,
Utah, / am forced to ask the ques-
ton: Are we moving with the tide?
This is a question of local applica-
ton. How many dormant ideas
may be awakened by exertioni We
may always accomplish more than
We conceive. / recognize the fact
that erroneous opinions, perverse
dispositions and the inveterate
prejudices of many people are the
means of doing much harm.
Envy, jealousy and prejudice, by
fixing their talons on the most
praiseWorthy undertaking, will
sometimes defeat their malice. But
If a person is actuated by a sense
of doing good only, why delay
Why not speak while passion fans
the flames which imagination does
not stimulate, but that which is a
reality
In conducting the every day aft
fairs of life, common sense is GER
tainly a more useful quality than
even genius itself.
One does not need the wisdom of
Solomon, or even the gift OF great
writer and thinker to call attention
to these points which / shall men
ton, and about which we are either
negleetful, or otherwise uncon-
cerned.
The church is the place where
the old and the young, the good,
bad and Indifferent assemble. Some
to receive spiritual food, some to
see and to be seen, some will come
once in while when they possibly
have no place else to 60. Nowhere
else could be assembled such a
crowd.
o what a wide, vide field to
work in! What splendid opportu-
nifty to instruct the older ones who
have been deprived of the instruc-
ton, towards their advancement.
And to the younger as well, whose
Incidence, and sometimes misfor-
tune. has prevented them from
keeping pace with the onward
march Of civilization.
/ may say right here, that in
stead of talking so much about the
negro problem, We might, by our
actions, do much more towards
solving this vexed question, than
what has been done; for if a mans
actions are his embodied thoughts,
brought into substantial existence,
then labor viii certainly have her
reward.
] am convinced that we are our
worst enemies to ourselves than
others are towards us. Only for
this fact, we would have a commu-
nifty here among ourselves, In which
the outside world would delight to
dwell.
But wherever ignorance reigns,
there will be lack of true refine
ment. And there will follow SUI
perstition, which will subvert, over
turn, overthrow, any race of people
under the sun.
) Hence, perverse dispositions, and
the inveterate prejudice, envy, jeal-
ousy, malice and hatred, has be
come so completely set in our
hearts, until neither the church,
nor any other society, can prosper
in this great city, where We ought
by all means to make a mark. A
poor colored parson, who is sent
here by the conference, is COM
PEELED to beg from house to house
every month for money to pay his
house rent, at the small sum of
81 per month.
/ ask the question once more,
are we moving with the tide Of
civilization? M. JONES.
