With the old questions removed from the arena, and in their stead new problems presented, the people will have a healthful change of political Dust in Your Eyes. Parties who are circulating a paper stating that I do not "intend to sprinkle" next summer, are a little off. I intend to run the old reliable sprinkling cart during the dusty season, and hope to retain all my former patrons.

Main St. THE GUITEAU CASE NATIONAL POLITICS THE SCOTCH MINER SMALLPOX, Washington, D. Feb! 6, 1882, Dear Itepublican: Vaunts predic tion that the present winter would, in its general aspect, resemble that of 1880-'81 seems so far to be pretty wel verified at least in this region. The snow-falls have been frequent, and the last one was unusually heavy. On the whole, however, we cannot complain of severitj there is a mod fication in that respect which is gratefully recalled by the older classes of people.

On Saturday another chapter in the history of the tragedy of July 2 was cor eluded in Court here. Guiteau was called up, and ser tenet to die on June 30 next. The world will doubtless fee! relieved when it is all over. From first to last the case is unprecedented in the annals of crime and law. We have seen the cold blooded, unprovoked murderous wounding of the President of the United States, in broad day light, in the presence of dozens of people, and yet his assailant, under the loose, ill at fined laws cf the District, well-nigh escaped his merited deserts by a resort to technicalities and a bogus defence.

Had his case been managed by different counsel whom I could name, it would have been complicated by a number of other questions, and the patience of our people further tested, and probably no result reached in the trial. Then an other element added to the difficulties of the situation. In the selection of jurors it was especially desirable to have twelve intelligent men -above the average to consider the peculiar facts and phases to be presented calmly and dispassionately, and to do this they must, to a certain extent, divest their minds of the feeling of horror and indignation excited by the distardly act and the disgust with which all regarded the perpetrator. They should possess nerve, too, for public sentiment was bitterly hostile and impatient, and filled the very air, and an impartial verdict is hard to find under such pressure. To show the extent to which many apparently reasonable persons were willing to go, it is proposed to reward the jurymen by voluntary contribution, os tensibly to reimburse them for losses sustained during their long confinement; and when one considers the effect of this proposition in case Guiteau should secure another trial, the outlook is rather startling.

All things consid ered, however, we probably have escaped pretty well; but the duty of Congress is a good deal plainer than it was three months ago in the matter of a re form in legal practice and criminal law in the District of Columbia. We have sympathized with Western Pennsylvania for months past in her smallpox affliction, but it begins to look now as though our turn were com ing, ine District is completely sur rounded, ana a aozen or more cases have developed in the city. I have read Dr. Van VoorbVa articles with added interest on this account, probably, and think he is entitled to the thanks of the public for his efforts to enlighten us. Undoubtedly the exclu sive use of bovine virus will do much to remove existing prejudice in regard to vaccination by eliminating the fear of blood-poisoning from current objec- tion.

It may interest your readers among the mining fraternity to learn that Miss Lizzie McCallip, a daughter of Alexander McCallip, has received an appointment in government service through the influence of 3 our member of Congress, Mr. Shallenberger. Sandy'' used to wield the pick and shovel in Washington and adjoining counties. He is an erratic old Scotchman, and, like many of his brethren, was too freehearted with his money for his personal good. He contributed7 his oldest son to the Union army, however, and that, like charity, covers a multitude of shortcomings.

Tne junior was wounded twice in Humphrey's charge at Fredericksburg, and also at Spott-sjlvania and, strange to say, could never be induced to apply for a pension until last fall, when it was too late to secure the "arrears." He will die of old age, probably, before his case ia reached, unless Congress gives the Commissioner additional clerical force. The appointment is a deserved tribute to that toiling, heroic, generous class whoso strong arms have contributed so much to render your beautiful valley famous and important in the history of the country. In national politics, as focalized in the capital, we are promised many peculiar phases during the coming three OHXLL W. HAZARD, EDITOR A PUBLISHER. MONONGAHELA CITY, PA.

The business rush of these days seem to demand more and more of our time. We are almost irresistably drawn into the vortex, the whirl. It quires an effort to contiol and restrain our desires within the limit of law and right. To be sure, we must have monej the world says we must have wealth. We must have houses to live in; but not content with this, the world says we must have palaces We must have pleasures, pure, simple, innocent, healthful; the world says we mut have late hours, gaming and riot.

We must have books; but not content with this, the world says we must have reports of gossip, scan crime and personal defamation and novels. We must have strength; but not content with the simple food that nature gives, the world says we must have wine and strong drink. We must nave business; out not content, the world says we must have specula tion. This spirit so prevalent to day, and in this country so specially, dries up the fountains of love toward our fellow men. It dries up the sentiments.

This practical age seems to regard with in tolerance whatever it characterized as "mere sentiment" And yet, take the sentiment out of life, and how much do we materialize and harden it. Senti ment has a softening and mellowing influence on our daily life. It rounds the sharp corners and angles; it allevi ates the ilash and the hard shocks of contending interests; it blends together those in opposite conditions those in health and those sick, those rich and those poor, those to whom life is bring ing joy, and those 1,0 whom death is bringing sorrow, those strong and those weak; those high and those low, in a harmonious and sympathetic union! We must not let the rush and push of 'the age dry up our sympathies, our charities. True sympathy is often better than breadstuff. Sometimes this may be all the manifestation that is necessary, that is proper.

There are occasions in which all that is needed is, eyes filled with emotion, lips which tremulously restrain words of condolence or comfort, hands that minister nothing but the imponderable, incalculable sympathy conveyed through the soft pressure of the palm. The lesson that society needs most to-day is not to repress true sentiment, bat to foster it Neither is it that business shall be without laws, or that its demands go neglected or unheeded. Not to abstain from bujing and selling, but to see that fraud is not practised in buying and selling; not to keep our hands from building, but from breaking our contracts, using defective materials, slighting our work; not to abstain from ministering to disease, but to refrain from quackerj not to refrain from adjudicating causes, but from partial judgments and the acceptance of bribes; not to refrain from entering into the relations of master and servant, employer and employe, but to abstain from oppressing our servants, either by giving them insufficient wages or by imposing on them too onerous burdens. Tne American people do not need to cut loose from any civil or social relations but they need to put into these relations truth, justice and charity. This much of sentiment, at least may well be mingled with the practical every day life of the age in which we live.

Those persons who from any cause donotneeive the Daily regularly by the carriers, can have it put in the postoffice, each day in time for the children attending school to take home with them, thus insuring early and prompt delivery.
