iin Tuesday President Arthur reap
pointed Judge Jacob It. ltlair, of West
Virginia, as Associate Justice of the
Huprenu • ourt of Wyoming Territory. It
is said that, like some other of the Presi
dent’s recent appointees, P.lair has not a
very savory record. He was openly charged
Bonn time ago with playing poker in the
•‘ante’’ room of the Cheyenne court house,
his accuser bung the United -tales Dis
trict Attorney, who is also a candidate
for reappointment.
The idea that New York is a pivotal
Slate in the Presidential election is being
abandoned by the Republicans. Kvery
week makes it more doubtful whether
they can carry that State, This fact more
than anything else vvill militate against
Arthur in the C hicago Convention. 'I he
Republican party will not like to nomi
nate a man who can’t depend on the elec
toral vote of his own State. If the Presi
dent can assure the convention that he
can carry New York lie may he certain of
the nomination.
Secretary of War Lincoln lias denied the
report that he said he would resign before
he would sign an order restoring Gen.
Fitz John Porter to the army. It is gen
erally supposed that the Secretary does
not look with much favor on the Porter
relief bill, but it is not likely that he will
offerany factious opposition to the carry
ingo.it ol it- provisions after it shall have
become a law. A resignation would hard
ly he tendered—at least not before the Re
publican Convention decides as to his
Vice Presidential boom.
The !/• Moyne crematory at Washing
ton, I’a., is not kept red hot all the time,
but has tieen doing a pretty fair business
considering the general opposition of the
people to incineration. The Ixsly ol a
young lady of Philadelphia, on Monday
last, was tin- twenty-eighth that has been
reduced to ashes in this establishment,
which was erected six or eight years ago.
As there have been no" instances of cre
mation elsewhere in the United States re
cently, the people do not seem to be catch
ing on to tiiis mania as rapidly as it was
supposed they would.
The celebrated Philadelphian, Motor
Kecly, has discharged all his machinists,
because, he #vs the machine is comple
ted and he has no further use for them.
Mr. Kecly is niraself hard at work “fo
calizing and adjusting the vibrators.” He
has had so much experience adjusting
and focalizing his stockholders and direc
tors that his last task will not be a dilfl
eult one. Tuesday the directors will meet,
aud probably the inventor will exhibit a
portion of his wonderful mechanism to
them and set a day for a trial before the
stockholders. He is great on fixing a day
for a trial.
. The National eapitol is probably to le
used for advertising purposes. The
trustees of the Bartholdi pedestal fund
have petitioned Congress for authority to
set up a model of the statue of Liberty in
the eapitol, so that the people who visit
the building may become tarniliar with
the structure being erected on Bedloe’s
Island, New York harbor. The House
Committee on Public Buildings has re
ported favorably on the petition. Of
course, the idea is that the model will so
advertise thg enterprise as to secure
many additions to the pedestal fund,
•which is increasing very slowly. Only
about half of the $230,000 required to build
the pedestal has been obtained.
Another martyr to Republican princi
ples has arrived in Chicago. Harris, ex
editor of the Horse Shoe newspaper, who
■was run out of Hot Springs for defending
gamblers and thieves, and libeling the
best people of the town, has turned up as
one of the refugee Southern Republicans
who proless to have oeen driven front
their home by the Bourbons. As there is
doubtless a pretty good bounty ottered lor
that kind of cattle, they will he plentiful
during the rest of the •campaign. The
Chicago Press, however, don’t catch on
to the persecution dodge, and says:
“Horsy Shoe Harris was run out at the
point of the bayonet liecause he was the
most dangerous member of a by no means
tranquil community—a fellow who, iu
bis villainous newspaper, strove to smirch
the characters of respectable citizens and
to perpetuate the political ascendancy of
bloodthirsty banditti.’’
Impotent Threats.
It is certain 'hat Mr. Morrison will ea’l
up hi= tnnff' ii! very soon. If protec
tion Ijemocrat* expected to bulldoze the
tariff reformers into abandoning the bill
by threatening' to oppose: it, they have be
gun to realize by this time, perhaps, that
they made a mistake. These protection
Democrats make so much noise that they
create the impression that their number
is much greater than it really is. During
the -peakerscip contest they were so
boastful and threatening that they led
ha!f the country to believe that they were
strong enough to elect Mr. Randall
-peaker. When the vote was taken in
caucus, however, it was at once apparent
that Mr. Randall never had a ghost of a
chance of being elected. The same argu
ments that were used in Randall's !>ebalf
during the speakership contest are now
being used to prevent a consideration
of the Morrison bill. They will
fail now as they did then. The men who
put Mr. Carlisle in the Speaker’s chair
did it with the full understanding that a
sincere effort was to be made, in ac
cordance with the policy of the party, to
reduce the tariff. They are not to lie
turned aside from their purpose by the
threats of a disappointed faction. The
best opinion seems to be that a caucus
will be held sometime next week for the
purs <-- of conference. It is not probable
that tin- numlA-r that will oppose the bill
after that conference will be anything
like as large as the number of the oppo
nents of the bill is now represented to be.
Mr. Randall’s adherents will dwindle
awav until it would not lie surprising if
h" w ere left with not more than a score
efVoilowers. If the caucus adopts a reso
lution reaffirming the position of the
D ni-e ratie party in favor of tariff reform
and restating the tariff pi.inks of recent
National Democratic platforms, it
is doubtful if any considerable
number of Democrats will refuse to stand
by their party when the time comes to act
on the Morrison bill.
To abandon tariff reform now would Is:
equivalent to a confession by the party
that its position with regard to the tariff
uj. to tie- present has Is.-en wrong, and
that the Republican j-osition has been,
and now, right. One or two j-iurnals
wi.ieh claim to lx- Democratic say that
ti. party ought to drop the tariff question
now and take it up again when
it gits control of the government. Of
f. .-ir, no hone-t Democrat would listen
; talk lik* that. The Democratic party
could n't drop the tariff question if it
w ar.-- i to without accepting the Republi
can doctrine of a tariff for protection, and
it •■: t > inly wouldn’t undertake to get into
power by deceit. The Democratic
party must move torward in the
path it has marked out Tor it
self—the path that leads to tarirt
reform. Mr. Randall and his little hand
must join the procession or stand aside.
Thev certainly will not be permitted to
obstruct the progress of the party on the
I lire- of its policy.
Our Timlx-iaal I.amls.
A study of the comparative area ol
j land in timber in different countries is
not without interest, esjxjcially as many
ir> indulging in apprehensions of a tim
ix-r f ’mine in the United States in the not
very remote future. It is estimated that
only lb , i*.-r cent, of the whole area of
the United -tates is in forest growth,
; whi! much ol this is second growth tim
ber of little practical value. The great
<proportion of timlx-red land in Europe
is I- mid in Sweden and Norway, where it
readies P> per cent. Great Britain has
j the smallest proportion—only ■> jx_-r cent.—
and nearly all 'if her timber supply is im
ported. Russia’s forests cover ■“> l-er
cent, of her territory. France with 10
per cent, of her land is not able to supply
all the timber she requires for consump
tion. and Italy with IT i>er cent, is bareiy
self-supporting.
l! the*-" figures are approximately cor
rect the United States is very near the
dang' r line in regard to timber, merely
considered from the standpoint of demand
and- ipply, and without reference to cli
matology, rainfall, etc. The means of
averting a timber famine cannot be con
sider* dat too early a day. The preserva
tion of our forests has been suggested
in these columns by an intelligent
and systematic method of cutting timber.
There is a vast quantity of land in the
country which has been denuded of tim
ber and which is now worthless for till
age. It will take long periods of time for
valuable timber to ie reproduced on these
land, by nature, unaided by human di
rection and oversight. Every farmer who
owns open land unlit for cultivation ought
l to establish on it a plantation of the more
valuable and rapid-grow ing woods. AVal
nut, eatalpa. hickory and locust can be
planted together in alternate rows. In
thr< <■ or lour years the hickory is
ready for market to be utilized for hoops
| and other purposes. In ten to fifteen
; years the eatalpa can l*e utilized, anil
. some of the Western railroads have de
-1 monstrated the fact that it makes the best
j cross-ties of any timber yet tried lor that
i pur]*nsc. Its low, scrubby habits, it is
said, ent'rely disappears when it is pro
-1 due din plantations planted thickly. In
twenty to thirty years the locust is ready
I for the hub manufacturers, etc., and in
j fifty years tin- walnut trees are worth
j many times the original value of the land.
The cost ol experiments in this line
j would not be very great—little beyond the
| trouble of obtaining the nuts and seed
| and the planting of them. There is much
land in the country now in cultivation
which is unprofitable, and which would
doubtless bring much better returns were
it devoted to the growth of valuable tim
lx:r.
It is a wonder that so many people have
g'xxl health when so much that is taken
into the stomach is adulterated with in
gredient, of one kind and another that
ar-- hurtful to the system. For a week or
more a committee ol the New Y'ork
Senate have been inquiring into
the method of making artificial
butter. Some of the facts they
discovered an not of a character to create
a desire for oleomargarine or butterine.
A great deal of tne sugar and much of the
coffee and tea now used are adulterated
with substances which are said, by those
competent to give an opinion, to tie in
jurious to health.
There are very few articles of food that
are not now cheapened hv mixing with
them inferior articles. The aim is to
make money, even though it is made by
causing disease, suffering and death to
thousands.
Even children are not spared. A day
or two ago complaint was made to the
Brooklyn Society lor Prevention of Cruelty
to Children that the shop keepers of that
city were selling to children a candy
known as “Rock and Rye” drops, and
which was said to contain fusel-oil. The
chemist ol the health department ex
amined some of the candy furnished him.
He reported that the candy was made
of cane sugar and flavored with “essence
ol w hisky or fusel oil.” The quantity of
fusel lound iti Two samples was, approxi
mately, 0.7,353 gram per pound. The
tatal dose of lusel oil is about the amount
! contained in two pmiml ß of this candy.
Avery small quantity produces dizziness,
headache, sense of falling and suffoca
tion. In addition to these effects, the vapor
of fusel oil produces an irritating cough.
The chemist reported that in some of the
candies the oil is not thoroughly mixed or
diffused, and occasionally a good-sized
cavity filled with it is found. It is terri
ble to contemplate that there are persons
who have so little conscience that they
deliberately scatter the seeds of death
among children.
The New York Eveniiuj Post has lelt
Arthur and Blaine in the lurch and come
out with a hurrah for Edmunds. It says
he has a latent strength which would call
out an unprecedented vote for the Repuli
lican ticket. The trouble is that Mr. Ed
munds’ strength is too much on the latent
order. The political methods of the Re
publicans require something more tangi
ble. A patent machine will do the work
a dozen times while the latent strength
of a statesman is collecting itself to grasp
the prize.
The Blaine boom is increasing in I’enn;
sylvania every day, and it verily looks as
if Col. Quay will not be able to “hold the
lort” for Arthur until Don Cameron gets
back home.-
The Grecly Holier Expedition.
The joint letter of Secretaries Lincoln
and Chandler, advising against offering
rewards for the rescue of the Grecly
party by the independent efforts of private
parties is calling out quit/- a numlx-r of
letters in opjxisition to it. The letter ol
the Secretaries gives various reasons why
it would not be wise to offer rewards.
Tne chief reason, however, is that offers
of reward may lead to the necessity for
further expeuitioLa fo„’ relief or rescue
hereafter. It is true that if any of the
searching parties should be missed for
such a length of time as to justify the be
lie! that thev had met with misfortune,
the government would be under obliga
tion to do all it could for their re
lief, but the apprehension on that
account ought not to be so great as to pro
hibit the offering of rewards if there is
ground for believing that private enter
prise could accomplish more than the
government in affording the Grecly party
relief. There is not the most implicit
confidence in the ability of the govern
ment to accomplish all it is possible to
accomplish in rescuing Lieut. Grecly.
The government has everything that is
necessary to fit out a relief expedition,
but there is so much formality and red
tajx: connected with the War and Navy
Departments that it is believed to tx- al
most impossible for an expedition under
government auspices to obtain the best
results. The failure of the Proteus expe
dition last year was largely due to
blundering in the Signal Service Bureau.
Iri behalf of the plan of offering rewards
it is urged that the governments*)! Europe
have followed it and have found it to
answer admirably. It is also pointed out
that the Captains of the whalers, which
visit the Arctic regions, are much more
competent to conduct a searching party
in the frozen North than any army or
navy officer that could possibly tx: se
lected. They are familiar with the ice
and its movements, and they have expe
rience in the management of a ship in the
ice. They are educated for the kind of
work required of a relief expedition, and
an army or navy officer is not. Before
adopting the views of secretaries Lincoln
and f handler it would lx: well for the gov
ernment to give the plan of offering re
wards further consideration.
The AVhisky Bill.
There seems to be a disposition in Wash
ington on the part of the opponents of the
tariff hill to create the impression that
the whisky bill and the Morri
son bill have some sort of
connection with and dependence upon
each other. We do not believe that there
is any foundation for such an impression.
Tne whisky men are fighting their battle
and care nothing alx>ut the tariff bill. In
the last Congress there were no connecting
interests between the whisky and tariff'
questions, and there is no reason to think
there is in this. Last winter Sen
ator Sherman, an earnest oppo
nent of tariff reduction, favored
the extension of the bonded whisky
period, and it is probable he favors it now.
The whisky men may be using money im
properly to advance their bill, but the
probability is they are not. All sorts of
stories were told atx>ut corrupt methods
employed to advance the bill last winter,
but nobody was ever found to vouch
for them. The whisky men are
m a tight place, and they want Congress
to help them out of it. They brought their
trouble*>n themselves by producing more
whisky than the country could consume.
If their bill, extending the bonded ix-riod
two years, were passed it is not improba
ble taut they would soon lx.- in the same
sort of difficulty again. Whether the
whisky bill passes or not it is pretty safe
to assert that it has no relations w ith the
Morrison bill.
The mania for collecting relics caused
Herbert Jackson, u Massachusetts youth,

One of the most curious customs that at

while enjoying their morning smoke. As
there are few newspapers in Panama and a

We have received a Hot Blast from Alabama
—whence we might naturally expect a hot

contains a marked account of the wonderful
feats of one < harle: Williams, who, il is stated,
"when a young man before the war. left Nor
ristown, i’a., after serving his time in a rail
road machine shop." Gbarles, it is further
stated, lias discovered a .secret which enables
him to lift a locomotive, or steamboat, by
-imply placing his hands under them. Mr.
Williams has either made a wonderful dis
covery, or tin; Alabama paper tells a colossal
lie; but what this country wants is the dis

lift a mortgage on a church, or his house, by
simple placing his hands on the building—

THE AMERICAN I,INK'S FATE.
A Gentleman YY bo Regards it as Omi
nous to an American Line to Europe.
Philadelphia, March 20.—A gentle
man in authority to speak states that no
disposition has yet been made of the ships
of the American Steamship Line. The
company has had a number ot offers, but
none of them were satisfactory, and the
Directors are now considering a proposi
tion made by the International Naviga
tion Company, which operates the Red
Star Line. The gentleman giving this in
formation states that if the terms
oi the Navigation Company are accepted,
two of the vessels of the American Steam
ship Company will be run out of New
York, and tile identity of an entirely
American line will be wiped out, as the
vessels will be registered under foreign
colors. The reason fur this is, he stated,
that no lines of steamers sailing under
the American colors can be made to pay.
He further states that the American
Steamship Company had concluded that
it could expect no relief from the Ameri
can Congress, and would have to accept
the best price that it could obtain for the
ships.
CHEAPER MARRIAGE LICENSES.
Maryland's Legislature Reduces the
Price from JS4 50 to 67 Cents.
Annapolis, March 20.—The House of
Delegates, after a protracted strug
gle, passed the Senate bill reducing the
fee a for marriage license from $4 50 to 60
cents. Heretofore the revenue to the State
from this source have averaged $27,000
annually, the State receiving 1 4 and the
coprt clerk issuing it 50 cents for each li
cense. A determined opposition to the bill
was made because of this reduction
of revenue. Under the new law
while the fees of clerks will remain as
before, the State will Deceive but ten
cents for each license. The marriage li
cense in Maryland haR been higher than
any other State in the Union.
PRINCIPLE AND PRINCIPAL.
A Hospital’** Adherence to the Former
Secure* it 13,000 Worth of the Lat

Philadelphia, March 20.—The Pres
byterian Hospital, which some time ago
refused a check for $2,500, its share of the
fund raised by a charity ball in this city,
has received a check for $3,000 from a res
ident of Bucks county. The writer explains
that $2,500 is in lieu ot the money which
the hospital did not receive, and the re
maining SSOO is a premium for adhering
to principle. He requests that the entire
amount be added to the principal of the
permanent fund of the hospital, to the end
that the principle and principal may go
together.

The experience in the treatment of Cancer
with swift's S]H‘fihr s. S. s. would seem to
warrant us in saying that it will cure this
much dreaded scourge. Persons so afflicted
are invited to eorresjiond with us.
I ls-lieve swift’s Specific lias saved mv life.
I had virtually lost use of the upper part of mv
body anti my arms from the poisonous effects
of Ti large cancer on my neck, from which 1
hal- “iifTerei f<r twenty years. .S. .S. s. has
relieve*! me of all soreness, ami the poison is
being forced out of mv system. I will soon be
well. YV. K. Robison. Davisljoro, Ga.
Two months ago iny attention was called to
the caw-of a woman afflicted with a cancer
on her shoulder at least live inches iu eirenm
ference, angry, painful, and giving the pa
tient no rest day or night for six months, i
obtained a supply of swift's S|M*ciilc for her.
•She has taken live bottles, and the ulcer is en
tirely healed up, only a very small scab re
maining and her health is U.-tter than for five
years past; seems to be perfeetlv cured.
Rev. Jesse If. < ami-bei.l. Columbus. Ga.
I have seen remarkable results Horn the use
of Swift’s speciciflc on a cancer. A young
man near here has been afflicted five
years with the most angry looking eating
cancer I ever saw, and was nearly dead. The
first I Kittle made a wonderful change, and
after five bottles were taken, lie is nearly or
