March, 1877, and did not even
know his address, getting it from
Hon. w. H. Sowden or cx-Gover-
nor Curtin. The first intimation
he had of his appointment as solici-
tor general was when the place was
offered to him by the President
after he had summoned him to
Washington by a telegram. This
appointment was made by Mr..
Cleveland entirely on his own res
possibility, basing his judgment
largely on what he had seen of Mr..
jerks while the latter was acting
as assistant secretary of the interior,
during which time he had come in
contact with him frequently in the
transaction of important business
connected with public lands, under
the direction of the interior depart
ment.
Mr.. jerks has always been an
unswerving Democrat, and has
been frequently honored by his
party with the most important
Offices in their gift. His legal at
tainments are admitted on all sides
and that he is one of the ablest and
most prominent men is conceded by
both Republicans and Democrats.

DR.. Swallows Challenge.

DR.. Swallows charges are ex-
plicit enough and contain matter of
sufficient Importance to the people
of the commonwealth to furnish the
texts for six I5-minute speeches
before as many audiences as can be
addressed by the candidates for
Governor. If they are false, DR..
Swallow deserves exposure, and
even severe punishment for making
them. If they are true, the people
should be permitted to know the
truth, and DR.. Swallows bold and
equivocal challenge puts upon him
the burden of proof. If they are
false, no one has so much interest
in proving their falsity as Colonel
Stone, and the most impressive way
of proving their falsity is to do it to
the face of the accuser in the pres
ence of the voters.
If Colonel Stone will accept DR..
Swallows challenge, he can be as
sured Of the presence of 40 of the
biggest audiences he ever addressed
in Pennsylvania or elsewhere. The
debates will need no more advertis-
ing than the newspaper announce
ments ofthe dates, places at which
they will occur. The joint discuss
ions will draw better than a circus,
and the man who sabstantiates his
own side of the case will be cham
pion worth going long distance to
hear. Notwithstanding the interest
and possible advantage that accept
ance may bring to the cause of Col.
Stone, we are not at all confident
that he will accept DR.. Swallows S
challenge. His recent West Ches-
ter speech indicates that he prefers
to talk about the war against Spain
rather than about the war against
political bosses in Pennsylvania -

The new plan of choosing dele
gates to State conventions by popu-
lar vote, does not seem to result in
united or harmonious delegation.
Mr.. Jackson Of Berwick and Mr..
Perry of North Sugarloaf voted for
the nomination of Geo. A. jerks
for Governor, while the other three
delegates voted for Judge Gordon.
We do not pretend to understand
the "true inwardness" of this divis-
ion in our county delegation, but
we do understand that the influence
of this noplination as made was re-
duced frotmsa major to a minor
quantity-ffon fiveYotes to a min
ority of one. N
AS it does not appear to be denied
that Judge Gordon voted for Nc
Kinley two years ago, it does not
seem to us that the change in select
ing delegates to the State conven-
tion from this county is ga blooming
success"

1t is encouraging to observe the
note OF distress and alarm in the
comments and the headliness of
Republican newspapers over the
platform of the Pennsylvania Demo-
cracy. There is no lodging the
truth so unpleasant for them. One
and all they cry out in tones of in
jured surprise that the fight is to
be on state issues. And are there
not issues enough right here in this
state to warrant that sort of fight ?
Since Quay appealed to the "Bour-
geois and the men in blouses," and
Wanamaker pranced about denoun-
cling his wicked fellow partisans,
and Swallow swooped down among
the ugly birds and started such a
clamor, there has been a growing
impression that there were some
state issues in Pennsylvania politics.

The nomination of county and
district candidates at the late pri-
mary elections in June and meeting
of return judges was not at all diff
erent from former returns made or
results announced. AS before in
former years, the majority principle
or rule was in full force, and had
an unchanged operation, because
there was no more than two candi-
dates for either Office to be filed.
CA third candidate for Assembly
had only a scattering or non-com-
petitive vote.)
In fact, the so-called Crawford
county plan" of plurality nomina-
tons could have no possible appli-
cation or operation as new feature
in our nominating system until
three or more candidates for the
same Office appear at an election
and as rivals, and so divide the
popular vote that minority man
can get nominated by the plurality
rule.

"When my little boy was six years old
he had an attack Of the measles, and after
recovering he was restless at night, had
no appetite, and was cross and fretful.
Later on, large blotches and sores broke
out on his face and limbs. We were told
they would heal in a few days; but
these few days grew into months. One
day my husband, who is a well-known
railroad man, was advised by some Of his
fellow workmen to give the boy Hoods
Sarsaparilla. We concluded to do so, and
after he had taken the first bottle we
noticed some improvement. We kept on
giving him this medicine until he had
taken three bottles, when he was COM

In the fog Immediately after the cas-
ualty, as shown by the evidence, the
court is forced to the conclusion that
the steamer was proceeding at a very
high rate Of speed Article 20 states
that when a steam vessel and a sailing
vessel are proceeding in such directions
as to involve risk Of collision. the steam
vessel shall keep out of the way of
the sailing vessel. For reasons un-
known to the court the steamer did not
keep clear of the sailing vessel. Article
Il says whereby of these rules one of
the two vessels is to keep out of the
way, the other shall keep her course
and speed The evidence upon this
point is of a clear and satisfactory
character and conclusively proves that
the sailing ship under the circum-
stances did keep her course and speed,
according to the provisions of the act.
Necessary Duties Performed.
The court is of opinion that her mas
ter would not have been justified in
departing from the statutory regula-
tons unless he could have sheltered
himself under the conditions pointed
out in article u. All the necessary
duties were performed on the sailing
ship with proper caution and due dill
gence was exercised In her navigation
by her captain when the character of
the fog was taken into consideration.
CAPTAIN Henderson of the Cromarty-
shire and the officers of his ship are
therefore exonerated from blame for
the collision and it's consequences"
Captain Smith in his report adds:
1T appears to me that La Bourgogne
as a mail steamship, starting from
New York, was not in the position at
the time of the collision as indicated by
the steam lanes of the pilot chart of the
north Atlantic.
Should BE More Binding.
''It also appears to me that il is high
ly desirable the rules of following in
the steamer lanes should be made more
binding on all steamers navigating the
Atlantic when plying between New
York and European ports. Although
in this inquiry / have not been called
upon or empowered to make any inves-
tigation as to the conduct of the mas
ter and officers of La Bourgogne, or as
to the navigation of that ship, it Is
evident that had the commander, Cap
tain DelOncle adopted the rules laid
down his vessel could not have been in
a position indicated by the disaster"
The report concludes with the rec
ommendation that new lane routes be
established for fast passenger steam.
