Dingley bill omits. and substitutes the
words "or convention
The first inserted clause, it will be
noticed, was aimed directly, explicitly
and purposefully at goods, the produc-
ton of foreign countries not contiguous
to the United States, but coming into
the United States through contiguous
country. This, of course, shuts out
importations foreign to but through
Canada, without payment of the IL
per centum discriminating duty.
The exception admitting goods with
out the discrimination that gained such
right by previous Acts of Congress
is stricken out, and it was done purpose
fully and for a specific purpose, as is
obvious. The treaties We're not touched,
but the old laws were, that covered
large importation now excluded With
out the discriminating payment. Tne
present law, it viii be observed has
an addition to the Wilson bill that ex-
empts foreign goods from the discrim-
mating duty that come in from Can
ada or Mexico 'in the usual course OF
strictly retail trade"
The changes. then, have this effect,
to put a discriminating tax upon for
eign goods brought into Canada on for
eign, but not on British bottoms, and
offered for passage over the border into
the United States. Thus the treaties
are not trespassed upon, and the end
sought is at least in part obtained. Ii
will be complete only when the treat
les are modified, as the Republican
platform demands. We have expressed
the belief that such modification Will
be difficult and obtainable only, prob
ably, by notice of abrogation, and that
it may we'll be doubted is a long way
off.

The French and Russians having in
troduced the bicycle into their army
corps, the Germans are now training
great Dane dogs to resist the soldier
bicyclists by seizing them and pulling
them from their wheels. That in case
of war they may make no mistake.
they are trained to attack men in
French and Russian costumes only, and
not TO assault a soldier in German uni
form. The nations of Europe are
bound to have peace if they have TO
fight dogs to maintain it.

AS illustrative of the extent to which
electricity has entered into our lives
take the case of Paterson, n. j. Not
long AGO an immense coal bin overhang-
ing the electric light works gave way
and crushed the machinery. The result
was almost a total suspension of busl-
ness in the evenings, until the damage
could be met, and a new plant be in
stalled. Stores and offices generally had
to close at night. The theaters had to
cancel their engagements. Shops that
ran at night did so only to a very limited
extent. The streets of the city were left
in darkness, and the force of watch
men had to be greatly enlarged. The
trolley cars ceased running, save here
and there where a solitary car was
drawn by quadruple teams. Announced
balls, parties, receptions, meetings and
convocations were postponed. Electric
fans, 1000 in number, ceased to run
and the heated spell was then on.
There We're 1872 motors furnishing power
in the city; all these came to stand
still and a large number of people were
in consequence thrown out of employ
ment The evening papers were es-
pecially inconvenienced, for the acci-
dent happened just as they were going
to press. Several outlying villages sup
piled with light and power from the Pat
erson works were left hopeless and a
number of rural manufacturers employ
ing many men and women had to close
down. Among these We're silk and rug
factories, and also a number of printing
plants. Over 10000 incandescent and
900 arc commercial lamps were rendered
useless. Among the curious results was
the effect upon three churches, the or
gans of which We're pumped by electric
motors These had to resort to congre-
gational singing-possibly to their bene-
fit. The electric car lines extending from
the city into the country We're of course
paralyzed, and omnibuses had to be put
on to enable traffic to be resumed. The
| lesson of all this is that it is dangerous

People have been wondering for
some time why the Missouri Pacific
railroad insisted on using coal and
kerosene in a gas town. We under
stand that they figure out saving of
ten dollars per annum by so doing.
When it is remembered that their
business has more than doubled here
in the past year, that ten dollars
shrinks to very small gnat to strain
over Mr.. COzad has written several
letters on the subject, but to no pur-
pose. Mr.. Robert H. Lanyon, after
stumbling around in the dark the
other night, spoke about the absence
of gas and has written to headquar-
tiers urging a change. Every one
who has to be around the depot, and
especially the employees who have to
handle the coal, will appreciate a
change, and the road surely ought to
keep up with the town.

An Ancient Document.

Hon. Frederick w. Hayes, of Oil City,
prominent member of the Venango
county bar, had curiosity in court yes
terday in the shape of deed, the first
one ever given for any land in the coun-
ty. 1t is headed "The Supreme Council
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania"
and was given by His EXcellency, the
Honorable Benjamin Franklin, and it
was signed by Benjamin Franklin. The
deed conveys TO William Clark 200 acres
of land in which was then Westmore-
land county, but what is now Plum
township, Venango county. From the
appearance of Ben's signature il was
signed with quill pen and done in a
hurry, but still is much more legible
than some of the signatures of promi-
mems attorneys practicing today. The
deed is dated 1877, April 10, in the
elventh year of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. If Benjamin "got out"
copy for Poor Richards Almanac in the
same kind of hand the deed is executed
in the intelligent cOmpositors must have
BEEN 'lulus" or they would have pre-
sented a horrible proof to the proof read
er.-BIizzdrd.

James M. Lambing, known through

Pa, at 1870 o'clock, Tuesday morning,
Jan. II, 1897, after an illness of two
weeks of pneumonia Mr.. Lambing was
born in Kittanning in the year 1889.
When young man he moved to Par
kers Landing, where for a number of
years he was a central figure in oil cir
cles. After the Parker excitement Mr..
Lambing moved to Cory, and during his
residence there he was twice elected
mayor on the Republican ticket, and
served in other responsible positions.
About a year ago he moved to Pittsburg.
In company with his sons, William b.
and Charles X, under the firm name OF
James NJ. Lambing Il Sons, he had rep
resented for the past IL years the Cory
Iron Works, who manufacture the Ajax
boilers and engines. They had offices at
Butler, Pa, Marietta, o., and Pittsburg.
Mr.. Lambing was of jolly and compan-
ionable nature, and will be missed from
among his many friends. MIR. Bambing

boys p one girl, all grown up. For a
numDv- years he was resident of
Tionesta where he drilled several wells,
and from which place he enlisted for the

iment. 1t was hero that he was married
to Miss Mary Brett, the wife who sur
wives him.

The Bradford Star says the Chip
munk oil field is very treacherous. Dry
holes are found a short distance from
good wells and the opinion ofthe oil men
is that the field is defined. The wells are
located in a valley and there is still
chance for more drilling on the side hills.
A great many have invested on reports
of big field, as the wells have been re-
ported larger than they really are, so as
to boom the field. There are about %
saloons and a number of other business
places. but the boarding accommodations
are very poor

house and another is trying to sell his for
less than cost to get id of it. One man
is spending all the money he can make
in taking girl to the theatre and taking
her flowers, with the hope of making her
his wife, while his neighbor is spending
what gold he has in getting 4 divorce.
Ono man escapes all the diseases that
flesh is heir to and gets killed on the

and dies with whooping cough. One
man stands off his creditors and goes
travelling while another pays his debts
