EDITORIAL REVIEW.
Fi!i;f. and unlimited coinagfi of fnll legal-tender silver dollara at the rate of sixteen to one means that our law shall be .so changed tliat any owner of silver bullion may send it tothe mints and have it coined, at tiie publit expense, into dol¬ lars each containing 412} grains of stand¬ ard silver, tlie dollars when eoine<l to lje delivered to the owiicrsof the bullion, and all the people of the I'nited States to be couipelled by law to receive thein as dollars in the payment of debts, although not intrinsically worth more tlian fifty cents each.—Secretary Carlisle.
O.N Saturday a leading Philadelphia daily announced in bi;; head lines that some workmen had discovered dungeons in the l).iseineiit of the old city courthouse, on Spruce street. That was not so remarka¬ ble, but when the wise reporter announc¬ ed that these gloomy prison ci-lls v ere built for malefactors 300 years ago he was decidedly out of order. That length of time would take us back to 159.5, when, as everybody knows, Williain Penn did not found I'hiladelphia till I'lW. That this building of justice may have been erected L'OO years ago is not improbable.
AViiic-N' the present marriage license law was p.is.sed, imblicity was what waa in¬ tendeil by its framers. .fudge Biddle, of Cumberland county, has sought to defeat that intention by his recent decision. The legislature, however, will repeal that decision by a sujiplementary law, which will be generally approved. The right of newspaiXT rejiorters to obtain from the county clerk the names of couples to whom licenses are gninted harms no one. Thu intending couples, not desiring undue previous publicity, iiecnl not obtain a li¬ cense until just before their marriage. -Vfter they are once married they can have no valid objection against it being known that they are man and wife. What the law intend.- is that they shall not be able to conceal the date of marriage.
Thk lato legislature of New York passed many creditable reform measures, among which wa.s one which ensures to that slate the blanket ballot, or the .\ustnilian system, similar to what we have had in I'ennsylvania. It has been sought to get an honest ballot law for eight years in that state, but every such measure was vetoed by (iovernor Hili. That wily executive thought the .Vustralian sy.stem, in its entirety, would block the fraudu¬ lent voting of some of his partisans in the cities, and hence his vetoes. He blocked a Ijetter law for a time, but now (iov¬ ernor Morton h.is signed the act. The mode of voting by means of tho pat¬ ent machine bo.xes seems to be the most perfect moile yet devised, and has been in practice for years in many rural towns of New York. Weou;iht to see experi¬ ments with tlie plan here in Pennsylva¬ nia.
The proposition for an appellate court in this state may bc defeated in this leg¬ islature, owing to a mistaken opposition fostered liy what is called the granger or farnier influence. It is opposed beea uee of a notion that it creates a few more judgesi and would add some expense. The ex- IKinsi' would be comparatively sniall, and the resulting bonellts very great. This apjiellate court is intended to relieve the congested diK'ket of the supreme court. The latter body is overwhelmed with work, and cannot do justice to the multi- ude of cases coniing before it. The new court would act as ae a screen, preventing many cases going on t-o the higher court. Ifthe supreme court falls behind in ita work, it acts as a virtual denial of justice toj a multitude of litigants, and the de¬ lays of the law are bad enough already. Po.ssibly, according to the granger view, we might save some money by abolishing all judgis- and all courts.but we should soon S!.* that we would (iuickly arrive at that anarchy that is in the end far more cost¬ ly than laying enough to secure judicial decisions.

A Houaeholcl Treasure.
D. W. Fuller, of Cannj iharie, N.

Dykeman, Druggist, Catskill, N. Y., says that Dr. King's New Discovery is un¬ doubtedly the best Cough remedy ; that he bas used it in his family for eight years, and it has never failed to do all that is claimed for it.

Those newspapers favorable to compro¬ mising the silver (H'.estion make a great ado abo'.it the prospect of Germany, Kng¬ land and France agreeing to another con- fea-nce which will remonetize silver. Per¬ haps such a conference will be held, and perhaps it might agree to soniething prac¬ tical; if so, well and good. Meanwhile there are too many "ifs" and "perbaiis" about the case to bc sure as to tbe future, and which makes it quite doubtful as yet. It is a matter of life and death to many politicians, mostly Republicans, that such a conference X)e beld, and also be sui-cess- ful. Otherwise they are in an ugly hole, and must either favor thc demands of the silver men for a silver standard alone, or they must face the music and take a bold stand for sound money, or money based ujion thc present standard. Meanwhile, it is the business of all who believe in the present standard for our currency to at¬ tend strictly to opposing the demands of tbo silver men—letting international action take care of itself for the present. The silver men, so-called, say there must be no more compromises. Either they must win, or be beaten. They win ad¬ miration by thoir courage and boldness. If tlieir opiwnents evpet't tf> win tbey must show like qualities, and let it lie a fight to the finish.

Mr. Isaac Conard has a copy of "Sketches'' by thc Montgomery County Historical society in his possession and takes great interest in the information contained. He say.i there is a great deal written regarding the origin ofthe name Whitemarsh. Several theories are given in this work ; one is that thc name came came from tho wide marsh whicii is seen when entering this regimi from the north. Somo ofthe Kpiscopal ians cl.aim that tbe name comes from Whitmarsh, a place in England, from whencesonieof the settlers came. This latter origin is preferred by the society. Mr. Conard savs he met a man in Ea.«ton one day who knew the region quite well, and claimei.1 th.it the name came from a family ix-aring the name of Whitmarsh. This F.aston man aaid there w.is an otlicer in the Colonial army from this section bearing that name. Thus it is seen that there are many thi-o- ries as to its origin and all find their sup-
{lorters. Another theijry is that the val- ev gets it.s name from the whito clay which is found extensively in some xiarts of this region.
The Montgomery county commission¬ ers liave advertised for bids for the erec¬ tion of an iron bridge over the Wissahu k- on creek on the new road leading frnm the Morris road to the Skippack pi'ue. The cret!k here is aliout eighty feet wide, and as the ground is low along the banks and the road beil there will have to bo done a great deal of work to prevent the bridge trom going down the stream. The road, however, is a direct one from lan- casterville to tho station here, and the travel demands the bridge. In heavy rains and high water it is impossible to travol this road,as the current is too strong and the water too dt^'p. Some time ago tho commissioners invostigatiid the place and it was .said then that a bridge wonld be built, although the comini.ssioners gave no public decision. It would be a great improvement if the road were inacadam- izeil, as in rainy weather the mud is very deep. Of course in dry times the road is a favorite.
Rev. Dr. Matthias Sheeleigh, of this placo, has written a "Sketch of Jlontgoni- ery County," which is published in the "Sketches" of the Historical society of Montgomery county.

•¦Grin Like a Cheshire Cat."
"Well, well ! Didn't ever hear of a 'grin like a Cheshire cat ?' Why, you see. a man down in Cheshire had a cat which grinned and grinned until there was nothing left of the cat but the grin, just as some scrofulous people, who don't know of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, get a cough, and then cough and cough until there is nothing left of them to erect a monument to but the cough."
The "Golden Medical Discovery" is the most effective, anti-bilious, anti-dys¬ peptic, strength-giving remedy extant. For weak lungs, lingering coughs, spit¬ ting of blood, scrofula, sores, pimples and ulcers, it is a wonderful and effica¬ cious remedy.

KVF.UAL of our citi¬ zens wore talking on clmi-ch matters ro- lontly and one of them romarkod that it was a curious fact that every ono of onr .\mblcr churches have changed pa.st<irs thc la.st year. The Methodist, tho Pres¬ byterian, the Catholic, the colorwl Meth¬ odist and the Bapti.st congregations now have not the same pastors they bad one year ago.

Rev. Dr. Cathcart thon delivered the address, dwolliiig particularly on the grand work of Mr. Donchlicldin .\mblir. Ile romomlH'red the Mnimt l'loa.saiit church very distinctly and wits glad that tho trnstoos saw lit to roiiinvo tho charge to .Vmbler several years ago. He cmi- gratulatod the congrogation on having had such a long pa.storate and oloqiiontly prayed that the now proachor might he ablo to push tho groat work forward.
Mrs. K. H . Johnson gavo a vocal .se¬ lection, "Nearer My • lod to Thi-o," afU>r which Rev". T. U. Donchfiold addres.sod tho audience. He dwelt on his lirst visit to Ambler, and then his accoiitanco of the charge, and the chaniclor and sizo uf the village at that timo.

Ilo sjHjko of faitii as tho basis of tho Christian church, its fmid and its iniurishmeiit. This fact pnivod that the church is i,i divine origin. The church and tho fani¬ ily relationship aro tho only t«ii institu¬ tions of tho pro.=ont day that spring from the divine: all tho others aro hmiiai: and therefore have no gmwlh and develop¬ ment e.xcept in so far as ihey are nour¬ ished by human effurts. Mr. IK'iichlii;id, in nrder to pmve that human eliort could only produco hunian results, cited an il¬ lustration of a largo conj;r(>gatioii ,,i church ix'opio, who built thoir faith on thoir human existence. The church ex¬ ists no liiiigor as a church, but as a small Sunday scluxil. To prove the rosnltvS nf the divine foundation, ho illustrated his soniion by tho advancomoiitof the .Mount Plea.sant church—sixty-niie yoars a'.i) a small, struf.'gling bixly of enoi';.'etic .=ouls, liaviiifr imbiioil m ihom that divine iailh which alono works t" tho mio end. Tlimu;;h this faith thoso momliors woro enabled to build up the present r)apti>t church, and the work is still pmgressiiig.

Ihe    Guild   Relief   and   tlie   Needlework Guild qt .Vinhler.
Tlie ladies of Ambler and vicinity who are interested in the Needlework Guild are under the impression that thepublic do not understand the difference between the Needlework Guild and the Guild Relief of Ambler. Last November, when the NeeiUework Guild held their anniuil meeting, it was suggested by one of the officers that a relief be organized in connection with the Needlework Guild to supply the [loor and distressed with coal, provisions, etc., such articles aa cannot be received and supplied by the Needlework Guild, as nothing but new Kannents can be accepted by the guild to be distributed.
Therefor.*, the president of the guild, Mrs. J. J. Da^er, appointed Mrs. F. S. Wilson chairman of a committee of six¬ teen ladies to meet in Mra. J. D. Cooi)er'8 parlor tiie latter part of November. On tiiat day the following officers were chosen . .Mrs. F. S. Wilson, chairman ; Mis. J. J. Dager, treasurer; Mrs. Hannali .Ambler, secretary ; conimittee, .Mrs. 1;. K.

The general inspector of ritle practice of the national guard of Pennsylvania has issued a circular relative to the sea¬ son fir rifl') practice, which opened on the first of this month and will continue until October 30. The circular says in part :
P'very raan w ho has never before quali¬ fied will be required to shoot at the three ranges, 100,^)0 and 500 yards, and wUlbe allowed five shots—.md no more in one entry -at each range boKinnini; always at 100 yards and never firiui{ at the longer ranire until ho has shown a reasonable proficiency at the nest shorter range.
.\nv man whom the instructor deems sulficientiy practiced may enter for ipialification. P'or qualifying five conse¬ cutive sliots are allowed at 200 yards acd flve at ."MiO yards. Re-entries are allowed until a score of twenty-five is made. When a score of twenty-five or more is made the shooter is cnialined for the year. If it be under forty-fiv?he isa marksman, if fjurty-fivo or more, then he is a sharp- sliooter. Re-entries for higher qualifying scores are prohibited.
The I'rolileiii, "What ShaU be Uone   With the Inebriate," Solve<l.
.•Vmong the institutions of Pennsylva¬ nia there is none whose services entitle it to more grateful recognition than the Franklin Reformatory Home for Inet>- riates of Philadelphia. The serai-ch&r- itable work of this home has now been carried along steadily for nearly a quar¬ ter of a ceutury, and each year has em- phasiz-'d more and more the correctness of its methods. When men are admit¬ ted into this institution, they are regard¬ ed as diseased, both physically and mor¬ ally. Physicians are at hand to bring them back to their normal condition of health, and it is practically not until tllia point has been reached that tho real work ofthe homo commences. The whole treatment is founded on the basis that drunkenness is a diseased condition resulting frnm the sin of drinking, and Ihat in ordor to bring aliout the reforma¬ tion, man must be lifted to a moral level which recognizes the enormity ofthe sin and its cons* quences. The theory that diunkeiiness is a disease and hereditary is net recognized, and the success that the home has attained is a sufficient warranty that its work is conducted on tho proper lines. Forty per cent, of the men admitted at this home are perma¬ nently reformed, and quite a larga num¬ ber of the balance benefited to a greater or less extent. The twenty-third an- n'lal repurt of this institution.just issued, gives in detail both its history, its meth¬ ods aud the results it has accomplished, and as it is sent out gratuitously on ap¬ plication to C. J. Gibbons, superinten¬ dent, 91,1 L-K'ust street, Philadelphia, it should be iu the hands of all interested in the reformation of inebriety.

A I'orch is a Uuildiug.
The supreme court on Monday decid¬ ed tiiat a piirch is a building. The case was that of U^onU Land Improve¬ ment company vs. Johnson, appealeil from the corimon pleas of this county.
Several years ago .\nios Johnson bought a building lot from the Ogontx company in Abington township, with the deed restriction that all buildings were to be erected not leaa than fifteen feet bacK from the fence line. He built a house fifieen feet back, in front of whicii ho began ere'itiug an open porch, which extended eight feet to tbe fence line. The Land conipany filed a bill in equity asking the court to restrain the erection of tho porch us they considereil it a building. Their request was refuseil and the corpiration apfiealed to the su¬ preme court, which now decides againt the lower court and directs the iaeuing ufan ii>J'i notion against Johnson with cosls.
Whooping Cough.
There is n:' danger of this disease when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is freely given. It liquehes the tough mucus and aids its expectoration.
