Measures, pregnant with impor
tance and interest to the masses,
are now pending and will be placed
before the next legislature for con
sideration and disposal. To handle
these measures well, to analyze
them thoroughly in order to ascer
tain their far-reaching results, to
act upon and dispose of them wise
ly requires men who are neither
hasty in conclusions, wavering in
judgment, nor easily swayed by
prejudice; men who are deliberate,
thoughtful and pains-taking; men
who are willing to serve the peo
ple not merely for . the honor or
pay that may attach to said service,
but from a sense of daty; men
whose leading purpose is “the
greatest good to the greatest num
ber.”
The fact that a fellow citizen is
our neighbor, our daily associate,
onr warm personal friend neither
qualifies him. for the legislature
nor imposes upon us the obliga
tion j;o aid in making him a legis
lator. Nor should our personal dis
like for, or prejudice against, a
fellow citizen stand in the way of
onr voting to make him a legislator
if he be otherwise qualified.
In selecting legislators the ques
tion for all voters to consider is,
whether or not the man of their
choice is sound to the core in the
principles bearing upon the peo
ple’s interest, true to' the people
and solid upon the issues to be
passed upon in legislative capacity.
All good citizens are nauseated
with hearing the charges of
bribery, corruption, &c., made
against pur legislative bodies, and
the only way to stop such is for
the people of the state to select and
send to legislative bodies men who
canuot be bribed or corrupted, and
who cannot be brought under ob
ligations to, or the influence of,
money powers. Hence, in select
ing legislators, we advise that pru
dence and not prejudice pi evail.

His Wife Suffered from Erysipe
las.
Mr. John O. Rodgers, of Dana,
Illinois, writes as follows under
date of March 27,1890: “My wife
was for years an invalid from a
blood trouble, and suffered terribly
at times from Eryesipelas. She
tried many remedies advertised as
blood purifiers, but received no
benefit A few bottles of Swift’s
Specific (S. S. S.) cured her of
Erysipelas and other blood troub
les. From the first her appetite
increased, and her general health
imprqved in every way. She con
siders S S. S. the best blood puri
fier and tonic she ever saw, and is
willing for any one suffering as she
was to be referred to her.”
TTIh Blood Poisoned by Cow Itch.
About five hears my blood was
poisoned with cow itch, and every
spring since then I have been
troubled with thelneaking out in
large sores all over my body. I
tried various remedies withe ut re
ceiving any benefits. Three bot
tles of Swift’s Specific-«(S. S. S.)
effected a complete and permanent
cure, when all other blood reme
dies had failed.

Daring the weeks that have! use the term voters upon the pre
elapsed since these charges were! sumption that these selections will
made Mr. Quay has not taken the
first step toward punishing the
Evening Post and the World of
New York for libeling him. He
has not said one word about the
charges. What is still more re
markable, unless the charges are
true and the evidence in support
of them overmhelming, not one of
his party friends has denied the
charges. It has sometimes hap
pened that a man has refused to
discuss charges made against him
even when the charges were false.
But his friends have never hesi
tated if the charges were false, and
often they have not hesitated when
the charges were true, to declare
that the accusations were baseless.
But no personal or party friend of
Quay has ventured to deny the
charges of bribery and embezzle
ment against him.
On the other, Quay’s friends
have not adhered to the policy so
frequently resorted to by criminals
and their friends, called “dignified
silence.” They have not been si
lent at all. They have barked like
whelps at the papers that publish
ed the charges, but they have not
said the charges were not true.
Here is the Beaver Falls, Pa.,
Tribune, published at Quad’s
home, which laves as follows:
“We have no hesitancy in saying
that the author of the World’s at
tack on Mr. Quay is utterly below
the most debased sot and bloat
that lingers in and about the hot
houses and brothels of New York;
and only a man who had been be
gotten, born and* reared under
such influences could produce any
thing so utterly devoid of honor
and so revolting to every impulse
of justice and purity. His char
acter is too ville and his heart too
black for any region short of Plu
to’s darkest domains. He and the
proprietors of the World deserve
the severest rebuke that language
can utter.”
Quay’s home organ has not hes
itated in calling names, but it does
not deny the charges. The Penn
sylvania State committee has had
a meeting since these charges were
pnblished. It has not maintained
dignified silence. It adopted a
resolution on the subject which
contains about 500 words, but. not
one of those words denies the
truth of the charges, or affirms that
the committae does not believe
them.
Mr. Clarkson, who, together
with Qnay, secured the Republi
can victory in 1888, has made a
public speech since the charges
were pnblished. He did not main
tain a dignified silence regarding
them. He referred to Quay and
his accusers, hut he did not say
that the accusations were false or
that he believed them to be false.
He simply said that the accusa
tions would not affect Quay.
Speaking with an intimate knowl
edge of the moral rottenness of
the Republican party Mr. Clark
son merely said in. substance that
the guilt of bribery and embezzle
ment would not disqualify Quay
for the office of head of the Repub
lican party.
Quay’s committee has thanked
the Pennsylvania newspapers for
refraining, pretty generally, from
publishing the charges against the
Senator. Some of the papers in
that ring-ridden Republican State
—to their honor be it said—are
not entitled to the thauks of Quay's
committee. One of these papers,
the Pittsburg Leader, independent
in politics, said on April 24, of the
State committee’s performance:
“The sickening subserviency of
all this is literally without prece
dent in this professedly liberal-
minded nation. Senator Quay has
been published as a scoundrel aud
a scalawag, and has not denied the
imputations on his character. In
stead of defending him without
proofs, aud gloryfyiug him with
meaningless .generalities, why,
then, in the name of common
sense, do not his associates in. the
Republican party compel the man
of the Yankee tricks already. The
old lady says the calf is a perfect
beauty, and the very picture of in
nocence. She placed the rope
around “Innocence” and at the
same time ordering me to pull.
“Phil, Bill, or the calf will get all
the milk!” Well, I had wound
tbe.rope two or three times around
my waist, aud I set back and pull
ed “Innocence” off. While in that
posture I formed a triangle, and
the calf had one eye on me, and all
or a sudden “Innocence” appeared
to be very intimate on a short ac
quaintance, and made a spring to
ward me, which sent me to the
ground on the most important
part of my anatomy, with my heels
about 45 degrees above my head.
Right then the wall-eyed cuss
stood over me, with his tail carved
on his back, and I conld almost
bear the thonghts running through
his “innocent” little head, and say
ing, “I have half a mind to nail you
to the ground.” But about that
time he thought it a good chance
to get back to his mammy, and
away he started; but I gained foot
hold in time to check the gentle
man, and thare he stood again,
with one eye on me, as if he was
ready for another one of his tricks.
By this time the old lady said let
the poor little thing come, and that
bcoger understood that as well as
I did. 1 pulled the rope off and
let him go. I was ns proud to
hear that as a school-boy is when
his teacher gives recess. It sound
ed mighty good, for my hands were
blistered, and some other parts of
me besides. The old lady said she
liked to have died laughing at me
and “Innocence.” I told her I did
not see anything so blamed funny
to laugh at. She said the poor lit
tle “innocent” thing meant no
harm; it was only one of his ways.
Goldarn such ways as that, and if
that blamed calf serves another
trick like that on me, I am going
to break his head. The old lady
said, “now don’t be cruel.” After
getting myself repaired, I sat
down to rest. I reckon it’s qall
right, but next time I’m going lo
initiate one of the boys.
After resting awhile, and seeing
that it was a fine morning for trout,
bream, etc., I told Alex, to dig
some worms, and we’d go fishing.
We soon had all necessary arrange
ments made, and away we went for
the pond. Alex, carried his small
axe, as he said it was the best
weapon for snakes. Arriving at
the boat landing and securing a
boat, we were soon sailing away
over the bosom of the Mossy, until
we arrived at Alex’s bream bed,
where we anchored, and soon be
gan to pull them in at a lively
rate. Pretty soon our bait gave
out, and I told Alex that if he would
asoist me, we would put out set
hooks for trout. To this he agreed,
and we commenced to hnnt wasp
nests, so as to get more bait. We
soon obtained a necessary supply
of young wasps, and ’then went
aronnd to onr hooks and took two
tront and one jack. We then de
cided to go up the creek and fish
for red-breasts. We went, but not
a bite did we get. While sitting
there, Alex’s end of the boat
swung aronnd under some boshes,
and down came a great big snake
from among the limbs into the
boat near him. He was the worst
frightened fellow 1 ever saw, and
I would rather have been some
where else myself. Alex.' seized
his axe, and on the impulse oE the
moment dealt a terrible blow at
the snake’s head, bdt missed the
snake, and knocked one of the
plank off the bottom of the boat.
The boat sank, of course, nnd let
the whole business into the water.
I told Alex, he had played thun
der now; our fish gone, boat sunk,
and we as wet as drowned rats.
A luck would have it, we were
near the shore, and soon made onr
way oat, and started for home.

The Mouth of a Snail.
The mouth of a snail is armed
with a very formidable instrument
in the shape of a remarkable saw-
like tongue. Probably you haye
at some time or another noticed
how cleanly-cut are the edges of a
leaf upon which the snail has been
regRling himself. It is difficult
to imagine how such a soft and
flabby-lookmg animal can have
made such dean-cat iucisions.
But with an examination of the
cnttinj*instrument in his mouth,
wonder on this Bcore vanishes. It
resembles a long, narrow ribbon
coiled in such a manner that only
a small'portion of it is called into
use at once. Thickly distributed
over the entire surface of this rib
bon are an immense number of ex
cessively sharp little teeth, de
signed in a manner which admira
bly adapts them to the purpose for
which they were intended. The
quantity of these teeth is incredi
ble—one species, for instance, has
been indisputably proved to pos
sess as many as 30,000 of them.
The reason for their disposition on
a coiled, ribbon-like surface, lies
in the fact that by use they be
come worn away. As this hap
pens the ribbon is uncoiled, and
the teeth which before were wrap
ped up in it, at the back of the
snail’s month, come forward to take
the place of those which have
served their turn. The upper part
of the month consists of a horny
surface, against which the sharp-
toothed tongue works. A leaf
which is to be operated upon is
caught between the two and sub
jected to a regular file-like rasp
ing on the part af the tongue. So
effective an instrument does this
form that the tough leaves of the
lily may often be found to be en
tirely rasped off by it.—Longman’s
Magazine.
J. W. Waggener, a gnest at Bo-
ley’s hotel, Pittsburg, Pa., was
sure for a little while one night
recently that he saw a ghost. He
was awakened by something
striking against his window. He
looked and saw the figure of a man
outside the window. He was con
siderably startled. The figure had
on a white garment and swayed to
and fro. The hands were clasped
and the eyes wide open. Wagge
ner finally mastered ap courage
enough to make an investigation.
He discovered a corpse.of a man
suspended-to a chain fastened to an
upper window. The body was
that of John Smith, who, suffering
from mental trouble, had commit
ted suicide by hanging himself
with a chain. It will be admitted
that such an appearance at one’s
window in the lonely hours of the
night is enough to scare almost
anyone.

Under the influence of this dis
patch, and on the strength of it, we
hasten at once to announce that
Mr. Spreckles has not yielded to
the blandishments of that wily foe
of cheap sugar, the sugar trust.
We are bound to believe that Mr.
Spreckles puts unbounded trust in
his ability to manage his own su
gar business. He has been man
aging it for a good many years,
and has succeeded in accumulating
a fortune of 815,000,000 or S20,-
000,000. No better evidence is
needed tnan this that he can get
just as much out of the sugar bus
iness as the trust can. Why shonld
he want to join the trust when there
is a great deal more glory aud just
as much profit in “going it alone?’’

deny the reports that Mr. Spreckles
has joined the sngar trust, we re-

The pony is a horse of hardship,
says a horseman in an exchange,
and one that has sprung from some
poor country where he has ever
been purely .the child of neglect,

race. In a rich country, like the
horse regions of Kentucky, for in
stance, bis pony characteristics
would invariably Tun out in the
course of a few generations. He
is not a distinct strain, as many
would suppose. He doubtless
sprang originally from as good a
Strain of horses as the world knew
of at the time, and his present re
duced size and characteristic
toughness have resulted, unques
tionably, from local circum
stances.
The fame of the Bridgeport,

the conditions that some one mem

has gone beyond this country, it
seems. The president of the club,

plications for membership from
four men from Caen, France.
They stated that they had been
unfortunate in business and se
riously contemplated the taking of
their lives. According to the

the necessary papers have been

The last sentence in the dis

a picture of the sturdy old Ger
man that is truly admirable. With
his teeth firmly set and bis feet
firmly braced he defies the entire

belpnging to the sugar trust?
We are waiting to see Mr.
Spreckles “bust” the trust, as he
is reported to have said he would.
If he will be good enough to put
his threat into execution, he will
win the thanks of those of his fel r
low citizens who do not own any
sugar certificates, particularly if
the destruction of the trust re
sults in lowering the price of su
gar. The emphatic way in which
Mr. Spreckles says “I never will”
justifies the conclusion that he is
getting ready to make war on the
trust, and that when the battle be
gins sugar, sugar certificates and
sugar men wiD get such a shaking
up as thay have not had for many
a day. It is to be hoped that Mr.
Spreckles will move on the works
of the enemy at as early a day ns
possible.

Dr. Norman Reed is a promi
nent physician of Atlantic City,
N. J. Lately he gave the follow
ing as his views to a New Yorker:
“The great trouble with people in
the large cities is that the life
they lead causes their systems to
run down. Their nerves give way.
That’s the state of affairs I always
find. They eat too much, they sit
up too late at night, they “fuss”
too much.”
Tt is said that nearly all the pos
tal clerks and carriers who be
come thieves begin by stealing
letters addressed to lottery agents,
which they know are almost sure
to contain money.
