LONDON, April 27.-The Constanti-

burned at Kharput will close the ques-

Russia has intimated an intention to

TO DIsFRANcHIsE THE NEGROES.
Cons titutionsI Convention In Virginia
Becoming "A farty Issue.

NEw York. April 3O.-A Times
special from Richmond, Va, says:
=. The question of calling n constitu-
tional convention in Virginia primar-
lily for the Acknowledgement of negroes
has been practically settled SO far as
the democrats are concerned. A ma
jority of the delegates to the demo-
cratic state convention, which meets
at Norfolk May 2, are instructed in
favor of making the call for conven-
tion party issue. This matter is
now the absorbing one in Virginia,
and the demand for disfrsnehisement
of negroes and other constitutional re-
forms has entirely overshadowed the
original purpose for which the Nor
folk meeting was called.

THABA N'CHU PLATEAU ENTERED
Natural Fortress Said to Have Been En-
tered by British Troops.


LONDON, April 27.-The Bloemfon-
tein correspondent of the Daily Tele-
graph, under Wednesdays date says:
"Our mounted infantry entered the
high mountain plateau OF Thaba N'Chu
today, almost without opposition. As
Thaba N'Chu is natural fortress,
this must mean that the Beers have
practically thrown up the sponge in
this section of the country. If the
force presses on to Ladysmith the
whole country south of that point and
in line with Bloemfontein will be COM
pletely in our hands. The difficulty is
that many of the Beers forming COM
mandoes Immediately on finding them
selves beaten, retreat to their farms
and resume the roles of peaceful citi-
zenship, hiding their rifles"

RossRrs IS EXCLUDED.

The House Of Representatives Jan.
25 by vote Of 27s against 80, pas
sed the resolution excluding Brigham
II. Roberts from the seat to which
he had been elected from Utah. The
Penn sylvania delegation voted
s)lidily, with one exception, Green of
the ninth district, Lehigh and Berks,
in favor of the majority report to ex-
clude. Roberts declares that he will
not stand for reelection even should
his constituents desire it, and it is to
be hoped that this lesson will not be
lost on the Mormon people, who after
obtaining state hood, have violated
the promises by which it was granted
and attempted to secure the sanction
of the people of this country for their
immoral practices. This should be
the end of MOrmanism here and at all
events ii demonstrates the utter hos
tility of the people, by their chosen
representatives to the monster evil
carried ON under a religious guise.

PARTY rtALTy.

The advice tostick to party through
thick and thin in local matters, will
not always be productive of the best
results. Were party caucuses to ex-
ercise proper care in selecting the
best qualified men for the offices, men
who would first consider the interest t.
of taxpayers and who would act with
an eye single to advance educational
affairs, the matter would stand in a
different light, Township and
borough officialireSre the men who
primarily advance or retard public
welfare. Careless, incapable men,
incompetent to perform their duties,
or untrustworthy in their actions, are
a drawback to the advancement of a
community and it is public wrong
to knowingly elect such men to Office.
Why complain of exorbitant taxes,
of improperly worked roads, of poor
schools, if you go to the polls and for
the sake of being Irregular" and
''straight'' you vote men in Office
who are known to you to be incom-
petent2 You cannotbe disappointed,
you are simply aiding and abetting a
public swindle. In township affairs
which after all more directly affect a
community, exceeding care should be
taken to nominate and elect only pro-
per persons. If voters would sean
the tickets offered, and, regardless
of the label vote their convictions as
to fitness and qualifications, both
parties would soon learn that to in
vite the confidence and the suffrages
of the people they must only nomin-
ate their best men. BY this method
better men would be selected as cand-
idates and the public interests better
subserved. The people rule, and If
party lash is sufficiently singing to
keep them in line for the ticket, it is
only necessary for interested iudivid-
uals to pack party caucuses to secure
their own selfish purposes. You may
be democrat, or a republican, in
State and National affairs, but you
should be controlled by common sense
when you vote a local ticket for you
know the men for whom youare vot-
ing, and you know whether they are
competent, and you also know that il
is simply matter of dollars and cents
and good local government, and not
at all matter of politics.

PoRrlRs LAKE PROPERLY.

1t will be noted by the transfers of
real estate that this somewhat fam
Gus Pike county resort has again
changed owners. The township was
erected Dec. 16 1851 from parts of
Delaware and Lehman and named
for James NJ. Porter, a prominent
Easton lawyer, who for many years
practised in our courts. In IS49 he
purchased several tracts of land, the
one covering the pond of II. Dewey,
and others of James Place, John IT..
Cross and Allen Cuthbert, inallabove
two thousand acres, and built a house
on the shore of what was then called
Fifteen mile pond. The lake was
known originally as Teddyuskung
and now is commonly called Porters
Pond. Mr.. Porter attempted to sub
due the meadows on Saw creek by
cutting deep bitches through them
and by ylowering the bed of the stream.
He temporarily succeeded, and it is
said that rye and timothy grew to an
enormous size on these partially re-
claimed lands, but after his death the
attempt at cultivation wasabandoned
and the lands lapsed into original the
condition, that of boggy wastes COW
cred with a rank growth Of wild
grass and bushes. The Saw creek
was aforetinea splendid troutstream.
There are stretches of swift running
water, and in the meadows deep
pools where the fish lie hidden be-
meath the shadows of the dense over
hanging alders. The pond, or lake,
is perhaps the largest in the county
and is beautiful sheet Of clear water
abounding with fish. A spring near
the house bubbles with the purest
water, and for a quiet fish or for a
few days Of rest and retirement there
Is no spot within our borders more
inviting than Porters Pond.

their desire to commemorate his work

they might truthfully apply to him the
well known tribute to Sir Christopher
Wren, inscribed on the dome of st.

monument look around YOU" but they
had a plan to erect a statue, and had
thought Of Moses shifting the rock,
