OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.

MATTHEW QUAY and Richard
Croker doubtless both agree that
this is not a good year for "patri
otic politicians" of their stripe.
WE agree with Colonel Bryan
when he says with such distinct
and characteristic unction , "The
hearts of the American people are
all right. '
SPEAKKU REED is to go to New
York , after a tour of Europe , to
enter a great law firm in the me
tropolis. And the politicians are
agitated over whom shall sucked to
his crown.
THE Pennsylvania legislature
adjourned without electing a U. S.
senator. Senator Quay was una
ble to secure a re-election , but the
opposition was not able to center
on a successor. The people should
elect.
IN the ambuscading of a boat's
crew from the gunboat York town ,
the Filipinos have scored their
first touch-down on the navy.
Lieut. Gilmore and fifteen men
were captured and their fate is un
known , the worst being feared.
RICHARD CHOKER , the great
iinuuy chief , is frank , to put it
( iu his testimony before the
x investigating committee ,
'eminds us of that other
famous New York per-
/ho expressed himself so
iy , "The-public-be-damned"
.tuderbilt.
THE attempted poisoning of
Mrs. Morey and Mrs. Gaslin of
Hastings has stirred that city from
center to circumference. Both the
ladies , as well as the subject , Miss
Viola Horlocker , are social queens.
It is stated that Miss Horlocker
was madly infatuated with Lawyer
Morey , and this is thought to have
led to the jealous attempt on the
life of the wife.
DR. EMIL G. HIRSCH of Sinai
church , Chicago , receives the pal
try salary of § 15,000 per annum ,
with which he is expected by
strict economy and taking advant
age of the bargain sales of that
great city , to keep the wolf from
the door and give the children
common school education. They
don't drink of the "Water of Life"
in that gay metropolis "Without
money and without price. "
THE new school laud law passed
by the late legislature repeals the
old law , while retaining the gen
eral features of the old law. It
omits an amount of dead and in
operative matter and makes , among
others , the following provisions :
Section 15 provides for leasing
the uuleased lands ( about 800,000) )
at what they are worth , to the
lessee.
Section 8 provides- that owners
of sale contracts may pay all or
part of their principal and at the
same time settle the interest ac
count 011 a basis fair alike to them
selves and the state.
Section 12 provides for
for taxation all educational laud- ,
which will doubtless increase tli
amount of laud on the tax-lists ,
lauds which now escape taxation
on account of state deeds not being
recorded.
Section 17 simplifies the dispo
sition of improvements on forfeit
ed laud and will discourage the
practice of allowing rentals to be
come delinquent , while encourag
ing the re-leasing of such laud
more readily. It makes more
specific the duties of the commiss
ioner of public lauds and build
ings , with regard to collecting
payments of interest and rental
within reasonable time.
Section 9 allows holders of ma
hiring sale contracts more time'oi.
the same giving ten years longer
in which to pay out.
Section 16 gives holders of
lease contracts who had expected
at some time to buy the land but
did not do before
so the same was
withdrawn from sale , an opportun
ity , as the expiration of said leases ,
to renew the same without compe
tition , thus protecting them in
whatever improvements have been
made.

they attended church and no trace
of the outfit has since been found.

fire was discovered in the storage-
age room of the depot , and in a

occupied the second story as a
dwelling , lost many of his effects
