according to his own account, sufh-
cient field for the exercise Of episcopal
missionary effort?
But there is another Bishop who diff
fers from Bishop Potter as day does
from night. Bishop Hurst Of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church is an annexa-
ticnist and expansionist, not from en-
thusiasm or mere outburst Of feeling,
but from sober and well-considered re-
Election The venerable Bishop declares
that the United States cannot retire
from its own record; we cannot allow
the Philippines to go back to Spanish
sovereignty; we cannot do that which
would assuredly result in the bartering
by Spain of millions of human beings
to some other Power like so many cat
tie. The day for that sort of thing has
gone by forever, he declares.
We are, says he. in a new departure.
We have, however. got out of the
knickerbockers and are in the world
with our eyes and ears open, and pre-
pared to take a share In the worlds
demands.
We will admit that this Is unex-
pected. But does not the unexpected
abound on every page of our national
history? In every serious crisis of our
history, when our policy was clearly
defined, and to which we had slowly
vowed fidelity, we have been suddenly
compelled to turn about and take an
other course. We thought only of Texas
when we sent Taylor to Mexico. But
in the end, with Fremont as prophet,
We stood on the Pacific Coast and took
our first look across the Western sea.
We thought only of the preservation CT
the Union when we began the war OF
1S61-65. But a larger end was reached
the last shackle Of the slave was
broken. We may call 1t an incident,
but history calls it moral revolution.
We achieved freedom by the very mo-
mentum of destiny. We went into war
with Spain with the thought only of
righteous rule in neighboring island.
But may it not be a providential pur-
pose that peoples of whom we never

Concerning the recent Indian troubles
in the Northwest the Philadelphia
American" we are inclined to believe,
strikes very near to the center of a
truth when it declares that the real
cause of the difficulty resides in rum.
that rum. and "the vilest of rum, has
been at the bottom of the whole miser-
able business" It declares:
The people of Minnesota must be
made to understand the old injunction.
First pure, then peaceable." If they
want the sympathy and respect of good
men and women, they will have to ar
raign and punish the unscrupulous per-
sons who for gain have demornlized
the red men with rum. This business
has not gone on in secret. The per-
sons who furnish rum to the Indians
are known to the public in that vicin-
ity. Let them be arrested and punish
ed. They are murderers In that they
incite savages to violence. They can
not be punished as murderers, but they
can be punished as law breakers. Pun
ish them. Make it plain that the pub
lie will not tolerate men who sell rum
to Indians The business is wholly
outside of the law. In so much, pro-
hibition is the law as regards the In
dians. And If prohibition cannot be
made effective in such cases. 1t is a
barren ideality.
There is enough truth, along with
some exaggeration, In the charge to
awaken the inquiry why 1t is that the
great, strong and all-powerful Govern
ment Of the United States appears to
be unequal to the task of throttling this
evil and that despite all the laws upon
the subject the efforts Of the military
and the 1abors of missionaries, the rum
fiend is still able to defy those who
would guard the Indian from his insid-
ious assault. Surely, if it is true that
rum is at the bottom of this whole mis-
cradle business" of Indian uprisings,
there ought to be developed capacity in
our Government to overcome the evil

ADDITIONAL STATE RETURNS.
Five More Counties Heard From by
the Secretary OF State.

On Wednesday last the Record

been received in this city, the vote
polled in each being given below:

THE DAY.

The people to-day are called by the
National and the State Executives to
abandon their business and give the
hours to thanksgiving, commingled
with such social reunions and corgre-
gational services as will testify to the
Ehankfulness of their hearts
It will not need much reflection to
convince any mind not given over
wholly topessimism, that we havemuch
10 be thankful for-thankful that as a
nation we have passed VIGOROUSLY
through a war inaugurated in the
cause Of humanity; that the people of
the Union are more united and one
hearted to-day than at any time since
the close of the internecine war that
racked us so fearfully over a genera
tion ago; that our crops have been
bountiful, our markets profitably re-
sponsive, our trade expanding and
business confidence has increased.
We have reason to thank God that
no destroying pestilence has swept
through the land: that within our
borders there is peace, disturbed only
here and there by outbreaks born of
FLASHING local interests; that industry
has taken on new strength; that char
1ty and human kindness have broad
is augmenting and that religion con-
tinues to exercise her benign influence
among our people; that out of political
contention no heart burning or hatred
have grown, and that our peaceful rev.
Olution has again testified to the in
herent strength of free institutions.
The year has had some sorrows for
our people, but these have not ex-
ceeded the expected. nor have they
amounted to great calamities. AS a
nation we have risen in Importance
before the peoples of the earth; our
flag commands greater respect, and
American citizenship is better safe
guarded abroad than ever before in
the history of the Republic. Our ships
are multiplying upon the seas, and
our commerce is reaching out to new
and more extensive markets. We have
acquired new possessions and assumed
correspondingly new obligations and
duties, of gravity and imposing seri-
BUSINESS.
But with augmented responsibilities,
the American people realize that they
are stronger and better equipped to-
day than ever before for the discharge
OF duties, and for graphing with
new questions looking to the better
ment of the race of men and the en-
largement of the area Of human free
dom.
So we have much to be thankful for;
every reason to be hopeful for and
proud Of our nation; every reason to
rejoice that our lines are cast beneath
the beneflcent shelter of self-govern-
ment. a government Of tolerance, free
dom in speech and writing, of broadest
opportunities and the highest promise
for all deserving men.

The Total Vote OF the County Was
in the Neighborhood
OF $500.

The official canvass of the returns of
the recent election in this county were
completed yesterday by the Board of
Supervisors, and the total vote received
by each candidate is given below. 1t
Is impossible to announce the total vote
OF the county, as the precinct totals
were not included in the canvass, and
the nearest guess thereto must be based
on the vote for Governor, which foots
up 1862. The number Of registered
voters was 11,117.
AS but S,963 voters expressed their
choice for County Clerk. it is safe to
assume that quite nunnDer of those
who went to the polls also failed to cast
a ballot for Governor. Neither is it
possible to state what proportion Of the
vote was cast by the city, as the totals
of the various Supervisor districts were
not put down:

AvoCA.

About two hours after the Duryca
murder burglars effected a way into
William Webber's residence on Main
street. They pried open a window and
it is thought that while endeavoring to
get in they knocked GNer some flower
pots. The noise awoke the family and
when Mr.. Wehber and sons came down
stairs they found the door open and
the carpets soiled with the muddy
shoes of the perpetrators. The fact
that Mr.. Webber is collector for the
Spring Brook Water company probably
led them to think that he had some
money after the first of the months

DIR. WURTH'S OPINION
OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN
MEDICINE.
A Remarkably Successful Remedy
for Dyspepsia, Indigestion and
Stomach Troubles.

DR.. Wurth in commenting on recent
discoveries in medicine, said: There is
none which is certain to be so Valua BILE
and far-reaching in benefit as Stuart -

people little realize how important a
sound stomach and vigorous digestion
is to every man, woman and child.
Indigestion is the starting point Of
consumption heart disease. Bright'S
disease, diabetes, nervous prostratiOn,

because every nerve muscle and tissue
in our bodies is created and nourlshed

JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.

The borough council met in regular
session last Friday evening. DR.. S. d.
Davis, secretary Of the board of health,
was present and stated that the board
had done and was doing all they could
do to abate nuinsanCeS, but as there
is no penalty clause to the health ord
nance they We're pOwerleSs to enforce
some parts Of the ordinance. He sub
mitted and asked to have passed,
penalty clause, so that they may be
able to strictly enforce the ordinance.
The amendment was passed and or
dered to be properly published, without
opposition. Superintendent A. F. Geb-
hart, of the powder mills, was present
and asked to have an arc light placed
at the Ridge road, also one at the
| powder mills. The council ordered a
| light to be placed at the Ridge road
| Mr. Gebhart said if n light We're to
| be placed at the mills they would not
ask that the policemen come down
| there, as they have a special officer
| in their employ and he could look after
| their interests and the regular police
| could have the time spent coming down
| there to devote to the central part of
| the town. The committee who have
| been looking after the repairs on the
| fire alarm reported that they were
doing their best to get an electrician
| to come and do the work and Just as
| soon as one could be gotten the alarm
would be put in perfect order The
| following bids were ordered paid: Jo-
| seph MarCone, $364S Edwin Graves.
| So; Electric Light company, $111.2O;
| Chief Mckinley, $40: G. ID. Winter,
! 23l.32; Martin MCAndrew, $S.25; George
| McCloskey, Sl.5O. a bill of George s.
| Dunn, amounting to $J1 for laying
| cross walks. was laid over until the
| work is properly inspected and accepted
| by the street committee. The expense
| for laying the side walk and setting
! curb around the property of Stocker
| Brothers on Second and Bacon streets
| was figured to be $2756S. with AN addi-
| tton of % per cent. penalty making
| a total of $330.Sl which is i'm the hands
