We have often wondered, says the Ban* caster New Ara, why the guinea fowl does not have a place on every farm in Lancaster county. It certainly would have if our farmers fully realized the value «>f these birds. A* it is, here and there a few are seen, blit even these re cieve no attention. They are regarded in the light of vagrants, who wander over the farm at will and are. left to take rare of themselves ns they heat cun. 'The guinru ha* plenty of excellent qualities. During the Summer season it is a great layer of tlrsl-ela*s egg*. 'These are small, it i* true, but rich and of excellent llavor. 'Their flesh, too, i* of the best, well tasted, equal to that of chickens, and it lies in very thick layers on the bones. (Julueas are for the most part self supporting in Summer. They do not scratch ; they are healthy and hardy, and as insect destroy era are only equaled hy a brood of young turkeys. Nothing in the insect line seems to come amis* to them. Their value to the farmer is incalculable. Their prett y mot tled appearance lends variety to the land scape, such as ham yard fowls cannot give. The average farmer can make uo better investment than to keep a dozen or two of these birds on the place. 'The outbreak of scarlet fever in Flain field has been traoed hy the Board of Health, assisted hy Dr*. Hunt and Mitch ell of the State Board, to the milk supply furnished by Nelson Giles, a wholesale milk dealer. They assert that Giles’ son, who was ill with scarlet fever, was per mitted to assist in handling the milk Giles supplies the majority of the local dealers with milk, and Saturday afternoon every dealer having milk furnished by Giles was ordered to destroy it. There was a dearth of ice cream soda in town that night. Under the supervision of Health Inspector Addis, 500 quarts of milk ready for delivery by Giles was dumped into the sewer.

Theie will he hardly enough people left at home to feed the live stock. It will certainly he the great est occasion since \\ ashington passed un der the triumphal arch. The Trenton Merchants are a lively set of fellows, and they're going to make more free fun and amusement for their visitors on that day than one would believe until he saw it. 1 he Trenton Merchants are going to make all kinds of inducements for people to buy from them. As profit is not so much the object as to advertise the City, there is going to he some mighty pleasing buying doue on that day. Byron F. Hunaon, the famous clothier in the Opera House stares, is the man that is going to promote some of the most pleasing Inlying He has just gone through the stock and selected all the broken lots and all the garments that were left over from last season, and placed them on two tables nearest the door. Then1 is a wealth of tailor's beauty in the lot, which include* men’s, boy’s and chil dren's suits, and single trousers. Every gaunt lit remains maiked as it was before the selection You take anything on these two tables for just one half the prices on the tickets. You’ll nevr have better buying if you live to lie a hundred. The lailroatU have reduced fates to one half f >r this occasion. Notwithstand ing the great reduction told of above, Mr. Uunion will pay the other half of the faie of anyone buying $5 00 worth of clothing. A leluru ticket will be evidence. I lie steady fall in the price of silver and the steady r ho in the price of farm pro ducts have disproven another of the pet theories of the fiee coinagists. The back bone of their argument was and has been finm the beginning that prices of farm products kept pace with the prices of sil ver, and that unless silver should be re habilitated and advanced to its old price, farm pioducts must continue at tlie old rales which they had reached a year ago. The fact that wheat has doubled in value, wool increased fiO per cent., and other ar ticles produced by the fanner* advanced greatly in value, while silver has steadily declined and still continues its downward course, has done more to destroy the sil ver argument Ilian anything else, except the rapid abandonment of the silver stan dard by the countries which bad thor oughly tested it. In the Full of 1850 typhoid fever broke out in Locktown. The first victim was Peter (iary, the storekeeper. He recovered, hut his wife died will) the disease. Her funeral sermon was preach ed by Kev.

There has been some plain talk in Wash* ington this week. People have grown extremely ar.x ous about legislatiou ami have beeu tiring shots at their members of Congress by the thousand. These little evidences of the attention of the dear public have set people saying some plain things. So the public is liable to get some information which it would otherwise not have obtained. 8KAKI* TALK IN SRNATR. There has been some especially sharp talk in the Senate and eomo of the people who are seeking to make political capital by throwing dust with reference to the . pending tanfT bill have suddenly dis* J covered that there arc two sides to almost ; any story. Two or three Democratic lenders seem to have reached the conclu sion that they could once more fool the people, and that their moat convenient way to do it would be to charge that the sugar schedules of the taritT hill as agreed upon by the Republican caucus were favorable to the sugar trust. So they proceeded upon the “stop thief” plan to make all sorts of malicious charges of this kind, taking advantage of the fact that Republicans in the Senate have been re fusing to discuss any features of the bill not absolutely necessary to be explained, simply for the purpose of gaining time ami getting the bill through as promptly as possible. The gentlemen have found, however, that there is a limit to the endu rance of the public who are being imposed upon with this sort of falsehood, aud the newspapeia of the country have suddenly revived the fact that the very men who are now shouting sugar trust with refer ence to the pending tariff hill are the ones under whose guidance the “pertldy and dishonor” bill of 1894 was framed and its sugar schedule so shaped as to create the greatest scandal lliut has been known in political history in many years. Attention Is called to the fact that the three men, Senators Vest, Joucs, and Mills, whose mouth'ngs about an increase in prices of sugar trust stock as a result of the pend ing tai iIT bill have been the features of the week, are the very men who framed the sugar schedules of the Wilson bill under wlueh sugar-trust stocks anvanccd GO per cent, while the advance during the entire consideration of the present bill is only (5 per cent, and this a mere incident of the general advance which Ims been strongly marked meantime in all stocks. That the three men whose manipulations in the schedules of the Wilson hill caused an advance of 00 per cent, in the price of sugar stocks should now he screaming like madmen because sugar stocks have inercasrd 0 per cent, during the consider ation of the present hill would he un* accountable hut for the far t that they are apparently doing it to not only make political capital against the Republicans but at the same time conceal as far ns possible their own record in his very line. orrrtNo hack to iiocsk s< hkih i.ks An interesting feature of the week’s developments Ims been the tendency on the part of the Senate Republicans to re turn to the schedules of the Dingley hill. Neatly all the important schedules of the House hill have been restored its they have been reached one by on® until the only important one now remaining is that relat ing to wool. And there is every reason to hellove that when this is reached the House rates on first and second class wools will he restored. The sugar schedule has been brought down to within a mere tri file of the House rates, and by many it Is believed that, the absolute lines of the House bill in this regard will be restored before the hill gets upon the statute IH I IIKitK I NNKt'KBHAKY OKI.AY. On one other subject there has been some plain talk and some which the people ought generally to hear. That is with reference to the length of time Congress has occupied upon the tarifl' bill. The people gem rally have grown very Impa tient over the apparent delay in obtaining (Inal action upon tbe pending tariff bill. Tills Impatience is bring encouraged by Democrats, Popncrats, Hilverites, and everybody else who is opposed secretly or openly to President McKinley and the Republican parly. The fact is, however, that no Hongteas since the first one ever made the progress which this one has made, especially in view of the circuit) stance s. There is every reason to believe that the hill will be upon tbe statutr books early in July. Never since George Washington’s first term has a President been permitted to attach his signature to a new tariff law within ms brief a space of time as will William McKinley. And when it is considered that the He nates Is not controlled hy the Republican party, hut that there is a clear majority against the party in llint body, the speed which has been made in the consideration and progress of the hill is not paralleled in the I)ietory of any administration.

June 28, The advocates of the free uml unlimited coinage of silver arc finding cold comfort in the figures just announced by the Direc tor of the Mint, which indicate that the gold productions of the United States in 1896 were $63,088,000, and arc likely to be over 60 millions in 1897. They are further troubled by the additional fact that the gold productions of the world are likely to reai'li the unheard of figure of 260 mil lion dollars in the present year. When they further learn that the money in cir dilation in the United States today is $138,149,012 in excess of that of one year ago, they find difllculty in sustaining their position of l ist campaign with ref deuce to silver.

The tin peddler wagons with which the country people were Imposed upon in the congressional campaign of 1800 have been again drawn out from their hiding places and repainted, this time hearing alleged quotations from distinguished Americans which are distorted into support of the free coinage of silver, now worth less than one half of what it was at the date at which these utterances are said to have been made. These wagons are being paraded over the country by the class of men who proved so dangerous to the great cities lust fall in the dissemination of the seeds of anarchism and riot. They profess to be engaged in obtaining subir.rihers for a free-silver publication with which they are giving away a tiook written hy “(Join'1 Harvey, whose mouthings are now recog nized by every intelligent citizen as not only false, but intended to deceive and breed disquietude and danger to the Its public. These men are supported hy the owners of silver mines who thus seek to induce the American people to supply a market for their products and are seeking to do this by falsehood and the spreading of doctrines dangerous to the life of the Republic. Everybody knows that the statements of this class of fakirs who were an important feature of the campaign of 1890 were absolute lies and that their work in the great cities in sowing the seeds of dissension last fall was even more danger ous. Their appearance in the country dis trict* now will he resentzd by the good peo ple of every community. 1 he prospects are still bright for Presi dent McKinley’s realization of his ambi tion to attach his signature to the new tariff bill on the Faurth of July.
