irr DEC. 4, 1895. 8. EDITOES AND PBOPBIETOBS In Adraaee. Circulation in tfce County THE President's message was read in Congress yesterday afternoon.

It speaks of our foreign relations as being satisfactory. The President also thinks our financial affairs would be in good condition if the greenbacks were retired and the National banks allowed to issne notes to the full amount of the bonds on deposit and at a less cost than at present, which is one per'cent, on the amount of notes issued. Mr. Cleveland contends that the banks would then put Sa circulation enough notes to make np-for the amount of greenbacks retired. He thinks the present tariff about right, except that Borne articles are too much protected.

He favors the issue of low interest- bearing bonds of small denominations. As a whole, it is not a bad sort of a message to issne from a Democratic President "THE action of the County Committee in accepting the proposed change nominate State Senator by direct vote of the Bepnblicans of the two meets with a hearty approval from Republicans in all portions of this county, and the duties of the joint committee will not be onorous by any means, all that is necessary being the creation'of a returning board with ua- thority to canvass the returns of the vote cast and announce the result of ihe ballot. It will also be necessary to fix a time for holding the primary election this year, but that will be a matter for the full County Committee to dispose of. It seems that the general opinion that the proper time for holding this election, which would be only for the choice of district candidates and delegates to the State and National Conventions, is the third Tuesday in February, the same as the. borough and township elections, as it will be possible to secure a much fuller vote'at that time than on any other Republican.

VASHISQTOS GOSSIP. Our Begular WASHDfGTOJr, Dec. 2,1895. When Hon. Thomas B.

Eeed, of Maine, to-day took his seat as Speaker of the House of Representatives, in the midst of the enthusiastic plaudits of his colleagues on the floor of the House and of the crowds which filled the galleries to their full capacity, he might have been excused for feeling proud of the honors which the Republicans have delighted in heaping upon him. No greater honor could possibly be any man than ior the majority to unanimously nominate Mm for Speaker, not the perfunctory nomination which usu- ally follows when "one candidate receives a majority of votes in a caucus, over his competitor or competitors, but a really unanimous nomination in which there was no competitor, and in which no other candidate was either thought of or named. In the very nature of things such an honor can come to but few men, but that it was fully deserved in this case is well known by every Republican in the United States. There are other able Republicans in the of it was settled by the Republican voters more than a year ago that this honor should be paid to Mr. Reed.

One of the most important immediate results of Speaker Reed's being, honored in so extraordinary a manner is that he assumes lot -high office untrammeled by deals or probably the only man to do so lince Congress -was established. It is not yet certain when Speaker Seed will announce the committees of the House, hot it ia expected that he will do BO before the close of the week. It is an encouraging sign that there is BO scrambling for committee places. There seems to be a general disposition among the Republican members to leave it entirely to Mr. Reed to my where they shall serve, knowing that so far as die old members are concerned he is an excellent judge of the places in which they can do the best work toward making this a business and that the few personal" disappointments, which must necessarily follow the placing of members, will be largely overbalanced by the general good that will thereby be accomplished.

The other officers elected hy the House were: Clerk, A. McDowell, of Pennsylvania; Sergeant-at-Arms, B. Hussell, of Missouri; Doorkeeper, W. J. Glenn, of New York; Postmaster, J.

G. McEIroy, of Ohio; Chaplain, Rev. H. Conden, of Michigan. The most interesting feature of the first day's session of the Senate was the debut of the new Senators.

There were 30 of them, but 14 of them served in the last Senate and were merely sworn in for new terms, while three of New Jersey; Walthall, of Mississippi, and Chilton, of been in the Senate Thirteen donned the Senatorial toga for the first time, but some of them have long been prominent in public life. For instance Senator Mel- eon, of Minnesota, has been a member of the House and Governor of his -State; Senater Thurston, of Nebraska, las-taken a leading part in the last two or three national campaigns; ator Carter, of Montana, in addition to serving two terms as a delegate to the House, is chairman of the Repnb: lican National Committee; Senator Elkins, of West Virginia, was a dele' gate in the Hocse from New Mexico Secretary of War in President Harrison's Cabinet; Senator Gear, of Iowa, has been twice Governor of his served three terms in the House "'was Assistant Secretary of the under the Harrison one of the leading Repnbli- a of the House for long period. i are newin national politia oeratz, and Butler, of North Carolina, Populist. Owing to the time of the House being taken up with the election of offi cers and the choice of seats Mr. Cleveland's metsage will not go in until to-morrow.

Representative Walter Evans, Kentucky, thinks the Democrats started the story that he had withdrawn as a candidate for Senator, in order so create the impression that he didn't think the Republicans had any chance to elect Senator Blackburn's successor. Mr. Evans has not withdrawn, and he is confident that either himself or some other Republican will be elected to the Senate by the Kentucky Legislature. THE HOME NEWS.

The "Deeatrlek Shale." The entertainment given in Library Hall en the evening of Thanksgiving day under the above title, for the benefit of the Children's Aid Society, was successful In every way. The hall was seated to its fullest capacity and the "only standing room" sign was out long before the performance began.

The audience represented every condition and class of our people, and it came to be easily pleased, and was very much surprised and delighted with what it saw and heard. The play was designed, as its title implied, to give a representation of the character of the schools in which our elder fathers and grandfathers learned "readin', writin' and 'rithmeiic," and old people tell ns there was very little exaggeration of what was actually the condition of the schools 50 or 60 years ago. The "Master" on this occasion was Mr. A. 8.

Cunningham. Hie role was a difficult and exacting one, but he performed his part to perfection. His "make-up" was complete, and be carried out the idea of the old- fashiqned teacher in an eminently satisfactorily manner. The pupils were full of mischief and while exceedingly refractory and difficult to manage, their antics were such as tradition brings down to us as veritably historical of our grandfathers and grandmothers who attended the "deestrick sknle." In this representation the pupils were H. M.

Bell, Henderson Wilson, W. Dickie Bay, Dr. H. 8. Keepers, a A.

Smith, M. C. Watson, W. P. Kline Kern- per Button, James McGregor, Alex.

Thompson, W. 8. Daughterly, A. W. Mabon, Mrs.

Alex. Thompson, Mrs. J. J. ifare, Mrs.

H. 8. Keepers, Mrs. D. Ellis, Mrs.

J. M. Watt, Mrs. M. C.

Watson, Mrs. John C. Hasinger, Mrs. Thomas Sutton, Mrs. Henderson Wilson, Mrs.

Sue E. Williard and Mrs. J. M. Torrence.

Mrs. Eva 6. Thompson was a surprising pupil, who after going to school awhile underwent a metamorphosis and appeared as "Mother Honeysuckle." The School Committee was a very dignified and impressive body, composed of Deacon Hamilton (Thos. Sutton), 'Squire Small (D. B.

Taylor), and Elder Jones Wilson). The orations, essays and recitations caused shents of laughter, and the different classes as they recited their lessons, worked off local bits now and then that kept the audience in an uproar. As the "giggler" Sarah Ann Small (Mrs. Alex. Thompson) scored several points, and she giggled so naturally and opportunely that it became infectious and the whole house giggled with her.

But it was not so with "Dolly Perkins" (Mrs. Thos. Sulton). She was the "bawl-baby." When she was let alone she bawled; when she was ever so slightly scrooged on her seat ber tear ducts let loose, and when she missed a word in her p's she just naturally lowled, and the spectators didn't have a bit of sympathy with laughed whenever she cried. "Peggy Crsne" (Mrs.

J. J. ECare) was vivacious all through, and her stiff courtesy when she made her "manners" was a sight to. see. Among the sprightly and apt pupils, whose mischievous demureness was as charming as could be, were Mrs.

Keepers, Mrs. and Mrs, Watwo. 'Hannah Maria gnell" (Mrs. D. Ellis), 'Amanda Ball" (Mrs.

Elkin), "Anna Jemima Jones" (Mrs. H. Wilson), and "Judy Honeysuckle" (Mrs. Williard), were tattletales, all of 'em, and did a great deal to keep the school in an uproar and make the heart of the good master weary. "Aleck Smart" W.

8. Daugherty), played bin part tq ection and was more than ordiaarUy soleras. 'Mike (Dr, was pretty well behaved, but made up for it by singing as hard as he knew how, and was ably assisted by "Timothy Tuck" (Archie Mabon), and little "Jerry Honeysuckle" (Alex. Thompson), the latter being a very well-be- laved boy in the primary class. The "Maser" had a record in his certificate over iOOO 1 several of which he took credit for on account of "Ezekiel Honeysuckle" (McGregor) and "Aleck Smart." 'Grover Cleveland" (8.

A. Smith) was obstreperous, and at one time, after a brief absence from the school room, appeared with a blackened broken arm and sprained ankle, and he told the "Master" 'the other fellow was dead." The orations of Clark Watson and Henderson Wilon, in which they pawed the ambient space wildly and uttered a mighty lot of unintelligible nonsense, mirth-provoking. The ippearance of Mr. James McGregor in the class, with a face from which all expression save utter imbecility was missing, ind the kind attentions he received from his later (Mrs, J. M.

Torrence) from time to ime, adjusting his pinafore and wiping len- lerly the vexed tears from his eyes which came unbidden on frequent occasions, was so funny that the audience was convulsed. The ictrodaction of two trained bears in hejr shaggy coats and their master and mie- ress carrying the proverbial poles and singing the bear dance song and giving the wild ejaculations incident to such performances, was a novel, original and amusing feature of the performance'. The singing of the old school songs "Ring around, rosey," "One little, two little, three little Indian boys," sent the audience wild with delight. The speech of D. B.

Taylor as representative of the School Committee and Mother Honeysuckle's recitation of UP vers.es of mercifully cut down to three on account of he mysterious loss of-several sheets of her the audience in a highly delighted state. It was nearly eleven o'clock when Thomas Button arose and in a neat ipeech thanked the audience on behalf of the society for the "appreciation shown the efforts pf the characters to amsse and please, and ai f'Aold Lang Syne" was sung by the ull school, followed by beautiful goodnight song, the large crowd left the building with sighs of regret that the evening was over. Every one of those engaged on the stage leserve special mention, but lack of space prevents further ptrticulariiation, bnt all can rest assured that their diverting efforts rere appreciated, as the generous applause ndicated throughout the entire evening. The net receipts to the society will to about 190.00, and as this is perhaps the most worthy of all pqr local cfcwi- ieaall will rejoice who. contrihqted to it rath on and ofi the stage.
