Tne election in Vermont on Tuesday went the usual way. Republican, while In Arkansas the boot is on the other leg, that State as usual going Democratic by an increased majority. Satisfactory reports of the wheat crop come from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois, but the Ohio crop will only be .10 per cent of the average and the Dakota avenge is reduced. Toe longest session of Congress was 303 days. So far this session has con sumed 278 days. It it continues to September 13, which is very likely, the Fiftieth Congress will be the longest session on record in this country. The customs authorities last week prevented the landing of sixteen sailors, who were coming to this country under contract, for which reason they were denied admittance to the port by virtue of the imported Contract Labor law. Tije Johnstown Tribttne was about correct last week when it said that "Chauncy M. Depew will not have a political reception on his return from Europe, but will be received by the em ployes of the New York Central Rail road. One reception like Blaine's is as much as the Republican party should be required to stand in one Presidential year." Two weeks ago the surplus In the New York Clearing House Banks amounted to 127,000.000. now It is 317,000,000. The decline Is going on, and for the next sixty days the holdings of the banks will be absorbed for "mov ing the crops," under which a great variety of items will be found. Last September there was a well-remembered strirgency. According to statements by the Treasury Department '.here was in the United States Treasury on July 31, a surplus of $132,517,751. This money will He Idle in the treasury vaults, and for want or it business must suffer. If this immense sum of money had been allowed to remain In the hands of the people from whom it bas been extorted by taxation, all kinds of business would necessarily be brighter. Chairman Quay is getting In his work. He was unable to get Blaine to quit talking but be has done the next best thing for his party that could be done. We see it announced from Re publican head quarters that Mr. Blaine's throat troubles are so severe that he will rwt be able to speak all through the doubtful States. Had Matthew Stan ley Quay sot his grip on Blalne'a throat before he began speaking at all it might have been better for the g. o. p. Tub Democrats on Monday last had about one hundred and fifty aliens at Court to be naturalized. Both the Democrat and Repuolicans are gath ering in alt the voting material from the highways and by ways. On Wednesday the Republicans brought in their forces for naturalization, numbering about fifty, and although their number was smaller they made more of a show than the Democrats as thay were accompanied by a brass band dressed in British uni form, evidently to show their hostility to Tresldent Cleveland's policy on the Canadian fisheries question. The President ou Tuesday appointed Hon. Ch-irles E. Boyle, of Uaiontown, Pa., as Chief .fustian rf it, a Cmum. ' v. 'IVJ , ' 4 t lli J Court of Washington Territory. The J appointment is one well merited by Mr. Boyle, as be stands high as a lawyer in Fennsylvania and as a member of Con gress was always in the front ranks in maintaining the principles of Democra cy. A factional qaarrell imom; the Democrats or Mr, Boyle's district de prived him of judicial honors last year and his appointment by President Cleveland is an evidence of the high esteem with which he Is regarded bv th administration for his course as a ' legislator. I Since the publication of the card ot John J. Kinney, the Democratic candi date fir sheriff, published more than a month Ago, iu which he denied, in no uncertain terms the slanders that had been insinuated and circulated against him bv Michael McBride and the Johns town 2'rilune, we have patiently waited for some apology from the Tribunt for publishing and giving currency to the utterances of a proven liar, or some at tempt on the part of Michael McBride to substanciate his charge. Ooe month has gone by without au apolocy from the Tribune and Michael McBride is as dumb as an oyster. In the Tribune of July lSih Mr, McBride said "he was prepared to prove by documentary and other evidence that John J. Kinney the Democratic candi date has violated the election laws and that he cannot and will not be permitted to take the oath ot office, even if he should be elected." Mr. Kinney in his card of Ju!y 30th says directly to the contrary and makes his statement under oath. Our readers have read his statement and it is un necessary to repeat It here. It was a direct and flat contradiction of Michael McBride's statement and left no room for hedging. It included sub stantially all the terms In the oath re quired to be taken by officials elected in this Commonwealth and the issue must be, squarely met by Michael McBride and the Tribime. There can be no doubt or uncertainty as to Mr. McBride's charge or to Mr. Kinney's denial. There is nothing obtcure in either and there is bnt one conclusion the voters of Cambria county can arrive at, and that is this : That John J. Kinney is guilty of perjury or Michael McBride is an unmitigated liar. At the time we published Mr. Kin ney's card we denounced McBride's statement as a falsehood and suggested that a prosecution for perjury would lay the facts bare to the voters of Cambria county at September Court. Mr. Kin ney's sworn statement gave them their opportunity, but McBride and the Tri bune have not seen fie to follow our sug gestion and the voters of Cambria county are left in the dark so far as any efforts on the part of McBride or the Tribvne have been made to substantiate the statement of McBride or discredit the sworn statement of Mr. Kinney. McBride and the TYtbuneare evident ly satisfied to ltt the matter rest but we are not. We insist thai Mictael Ma Bride is a liar, that be has made a charge that he cannot substantiate and that the Tribune In justice to honest journalism, as the mouth piece of Michael McBride, In giving currency to tbe slander, should either apolo gize to John J. Kinney or bring Michael McBride up to the scratch. The belief that the Senate has aban doned any attempt to pass a tariff bill has become so firmly fixed that the Dem ocrats of the House are already contem plating some legislation by which the increase in the surplus ean be prevented notwithslanding. It is another instance where the policy of shirking and subter fuge on the part of the Republicans ha8 redounded to the political advantage of the Democrats. As the Senate is afraid to pass a tariff bill, and the surplus must be reduced, the nouse will proba bly pass a series of bills, aimed directly and specially at the notorious trusts In certain commodities, and make a cut in the tariff wherever such a combination has been found. The Republicans are in an awkward attitude. Their campaign money is be ing furnished y these trusts, anxious fcr a continuation of the high duties that make their existence possible. Blaine has already declared them be yond the power of legislation, aud the party would fly in the face of its "un crowned king" to indorse any measure looking to their destruction. For the Republicans to openly and avowedly sustain the trusts would be equivalent to party suicide, and now they are con fronting a dilemma worse than that In which they were before they dropped their tariff bill. Mr. Hooker bas al ready introduced a resolntion authoriz ing the President to suspend the duty on cotton bagging If satisfied there ws a trust or combination to increase the pricM of that commodity in IhU country. Representative Breckinridge, of Arkan sas, bas Introduced similar bills aimed at the sugar, cotton seed oil and other trusts. A caucus of the House Demo crats will be held this week, to shape the line of legislation, which. In view of the abandonment of the tariff bill by the Senate, promises temporarily to take care of the surplus end at the same time wipe out the most aggravating monopolists that have yet fastened upon the people of this country. It Is "hard Hoes" ac the national Re publican headquarters nowadays ssys the New York Jinw. In marked con trast with the Democratic headquarters, where prominent members of the Dem ocratic party call every day, hardly any distinguished Republicans visit their rational headquarters, and the House is very lonesome indeed. The members of the Wise faction from Virginia no ticed this lonesomenees wbeu they vis ited the national headquarters the oth er day. and one of them remarked : "Everybody there look" as if he had the blues, and I feel as though" 1 had the blues myself. If that is true generally It was espe cially so yesterday. Colonel Dudley looked as mournful as his pleasant face will let him ; Colonel New was gloomy Indeed. The cause of it all was said to have been the reception by the execu tive committee of a letter from one of the bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church, upon whose support the com mittee had confidently counted, saying that he had consulted with brethern ai.rl they have decided that tne free whisky plank In the Republican plats form was more than they could support, and ttey shouM recommend Methodiets to vot the Prohibition ticket. This is a very Important decision if true, and the Republican managers had good cause to be blue. A tariff pointer for the people : No man ever enriches his pursn by taxing his family and then paying the tax himself. Terse Tariff Talks. Frmers compose the largest industry of the country, and they have mmi in terest in cauitable tax laws. Ttey re ceive the smallest per cent, of profit ou capital invested and the least reward for labor of any legitimate industry of the land. They are protected in the product of their farms by the present tariff, and that protection is not charged by the Mills bill except as sugar and rice, on which the tariff duties are reduced, and as wool, hemp and flax, which are made free in the Interest of the manufactur ers and consumers, and the chief con Burners are farmers themselves. The so-called sheep industry in Penn sylvania does not average five sheep to each farm in the &taU. and the entire wool crop of our farmers is worth about 1.2o0.000. There is practically no able bodied labor in sheep-growing, and. therefore, no labor to protect ; and the consumption of woolen goods in Penn sylvania amounts to about $00,000,000 per annum, the major part of which is consumed by farmers. Free wool would, as testified before Congress by experienced woolen manu facturers of all parties, cheapen woolens fully 20 per cent, to consumers ; and 20 per cent, on the consumption of woolens in Pennsylvania would be about f 12, 000,000. The farmers alone pay more than five times as much in needless taxes on woolens as the value of the en tire wool crop of the State ; atid the wool-growers as a class, exclusive of the other wool consumers of Pennsylvania, would gain more in cheap woolens than they wouldioee by free wool. In point of fact, the farmers of Pennsylvania are overtaxing themselves by taxing wool. Everything of importance that the farmer uses on or about bis farm and in and about bis house. Is still subject to high war taxes except tea and coffee. Everything he wears is taxed from 30 to 80 per cent. ; every implement be nses on his farm, from a hand rake to a threshing machine, is highly taxed everything used in bis bouse, from a broom or tackhammer to a stove, table or piano, is highly taxed. His bouse is lighted by from 60 to 100 per cent, taxed glass ; he drinks from a CO per cent, taxed pitcher and a CO per cent, taxed goblet, and every implement of tinware in his kitchen is highly taxed; although not a ton of tin plate is pro duced in the country. When ne needs steel for his plows. harrows, etc., be is the victim of the steeltrust that is created by high war tar iff duties ; when he writes a letter, he is the victim of the envelope trnst that is created by high war tariff duties ; when be buys a pair of rubber shoes, be is the victim of the rubber trust that is created by high war tariff duties ; when be buvs salt for bis table or stock or to preserve bis meats, be is the victim of the salt trust that is created by high war tariff duties : when be binds bis wheat he is the victim or the cordage trust that is created by high war tariff duties ; when be bags bis grain be Is the victim of the jute trust that is created by high war carin duties ; when he bales his bay, he Is the victim of the cotton-tie trust that is created by high war tariff duties ; when he builds or repairs his house, barn or shed, he is the victim of the lumber trust that is created bv high war tariff duties ; if be buys oil to paint bis house, barn or fease, be is the victim of the linseed oil trust that is created by high war tariff duties, and so on indefi nitely is be taxed by oppressive laws and lawless trusts created and protected by oppressive laws, until be is the mere slave of banded and protected monopo lists. The farmer wants legitimate labor protected in our protective industries to diversify our pursuits and consumers; uul an taxes imposed upon the necessa ries of business and of life beyond the actual protection of the wages or labor ic our snopsand mills is extortion upon the farmer and worklngman ; aud all laws which create and protect mooopoly trusts and combines, are oppressive on all legitimate labor. The present tariff taxes are 47. 10 per cent, on the articles taxed ; the Mills hill proposes to reduce these taxes about 7 per cent., leaving the largest protection to industry ever be fore given except under the extreme necessities of war. There is no free trade, nor the semblance of free tarde, about reducing our tariff taxes to 40 per cent, and there is no channel of industry so largely interested In tax reduction as the farmers of Peansylvania. rhila. Titnes Senator L'ullom's Blander. The Republican Senators are having a rua o! ill luck. Senator Cullum of Illinois is the latest victim. He intro duced a resolution, last Thursday, gravely calling cn the Secretary of the Treasury to inform the Senate by what authority the transit, in bond, of goods coming from Canada across the United States had btien allowed without the exaction of duties since July 1, ISSo, at which date th twenty-ninth article of the treaty of 1871 became inoperative, according to the President's message. Mr. Cullom's preamble was quite in genious. It was simply an argument divided Into sections by repetitions of the word "whereas," by which he sought to show that if President Cleve land's interpretation of that treaty is the true one, the President bas been guilty or neglect in permitting the con tinuance of the free transit of these goods across our territory. Mr. Cullom wore an air of triumph when he present ed the resolution, and the Republican side of the Senate fait a sense of happi ness it had not experienced since it ad journed and fl-d to escape bearing the President's fisheries message. Senator George, however, allowed them but a brief period of bliss. He cited t wo seperate sections of the revised statutes, both of which specifically ac cord this privilege to Canada, and neither of which made the grant In any way dependent on the treaty of Wash ington. The Mississippi Senator simply "flabbergasted" the gsntleman from Illinois. Senator Cullom hastily withdrew bis resolution. He had obtained more In formation than be wanted before be was ready for it. Meanwhile Grover Cleve land was having good .port catching bass in Virginia, while waiting for the Senate to make up its mind as to what It ill do with that message. X. Y. Star. The Other Old Roman. Mr. Tourman is said to have Inherited his title of the Old Roman" from bis uncle. William Alien, a member of the United States Senate with Clav.CMhonn and Webster. Uncle William was fond of Roman history and used to read "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" as assiduously and quite as appreciatively as old Silas Wegg. He baa a ponderous voice, a splendid physi que, and interlarded his speeches with many illusions to the Roman heroes. Somebody dubbed him the Old Reman and the sobriquet stuck to him, de scending later to his distinguished ne phew, who inherited many of bis traits of character. Chicago Herald. Wemderral Care. W. V.

One thousand mil'.ions of dollars per anum I The sum is so enormous that when people are told that it represents the tariff-enhanced cost of the domestic goods consumed eyery year in this coun try, they are aincKan witn amazement. Nevertheless such is the fact. The pro ducts of the industries in which tariff- protected capital is employed that are nsed or consumed annually in the United States, are of the value of five thousand millions or dollars (five billions). The cost to the users or consumers is en hanced at an average rate of 20 per cent above what II would be if the tariff were laid for revenue merely Instead of beiog imposed, as it is. to enable -the protect ed capitalist to get a bounty from the purchasers of his products. Twenty per cent, ot five thousand millions of dollars Is one thousand millions of dollars. Any school-boy can figure out how much of this is paid by or for every man. woman and child in the United States. A family of five persons pay about eighty-five dollars every year in tariff bounties to tariff protected capital in the form of an increased cost of food, clothing, rent, household goods and utensilsand implements of labor, caused by the present tariff for the protection of monopolies. It most be remembered that not one cent or these one thousand millions goes Into the Government Tieasary. This enorrsous tax is not levied by the Gov ernment but by the protected capitalists who are enabled to do this by a tariff which makes them masters ot the borne market, which shields them in their for mation of trusts and other combinations to put up and keep up the prices of their products, which compels the users or consumers to buy from them alone by preventing them from buying in any other country. The revenue derived from the tariff by the Government is paid by the users rr consumers of such foreign made goods as are permitted by the tariff, laws to be imported, and amounts to only a little over two hun dred millions of dollars, or but about one-fifth of the tariff-enhanced coat of domestic products nsed or consumed in the United States. No tariff-reformer objects to a tariff laid to secure the re venues necessary to carry on the Gov ernment economically administered, but all tariff reformers complain of a tariff laid to raise nnuecessaiy revenues which cause a large surplus in the Treasury and imposed la such a manner as to protect capital in its formation of trusts and syndicates to tax the people in higb prices for their necessaries of life. Mill ions for revenue but not one cent for tri bute to monopolv, is the motto of the tariff reformers. What boots it to the laborer or the artisan that be sets a little higher wages oy working from six to ten hours longer per week than the English laborer or artisan if he must pav out for bis neces saries of life in tariff-enhanced prices more than he geta by his longer hours ot labor and consequent higher wages ? Nothing. On the contrary his lack of needed rest and recreation, the strain upon bis mind and body, the wear of muscle and brain, necessitated by bis com pressing a year and two months of tbe -Englishman's labor into twelve months or steady, onremiting toil, shorten bis life and make bis declining years a season of suffering and misery. He sacrifices rest, health and life to tbe Moloch or the high tariff which de mands constant tribute from him for the benefit of protected capital. This is the woraingman's .share in tbe Infamous system which robs the American people each successive year of a thousand milN ions or dollars and pours it into the coffers of a privileged class, newers of wood and drawers of water to tariff protected trusts and combines are tbe workingmen of America. Slaves to the wretched delusion that a tax which they pay in tariff-enhanced prices of every thing they consume is protective of their wages, are the toilers of every guild who refuse to shake off the tariff burden that is crushing them into tbe earth. llarrisburg Patriot Blaine on the Trusts. That waa a most, happy conjunction in New England on Friday evening Blaine pleading for the tariff-bred Trusts In a Utile village of Maine, and Butler endeavoring to persuade the workingmen of Boston of the beauties and blessinga of protection to American industry. Blaine did not hesitate, in tbe service of Andrew Carnegie and other monopolists whom he worships, to in sult Dot merely his own party tut the common sense of the country by assert ing that "ihe Trusts have no place in the national campaign," and reiterating bis false and absurd pretense that the Trusts grow more rankly under free trade than under protection. This was not a "casual remark: wrongly reported by telegraph," as was pleaded in behalf or his Portland declaration that Trusts are "private affairs." but it was written down, spoken deliberately from manu script, and delivered to the Associated Press. If the Trusts have no place in the na tional campaign, as tbe beneficiaries of tariff monopoly and their champion would persuade the country, what did the Republican party mean at Chicago by declaring "opposition to all combin ations in trusts or otherwise to control arbitrarily tbe condition of trade among our citizens," and recommending to Congress "such legislation as will pres vent the execution of all schemes to op press the people by nndue charges on their supplies T" What do John Sher mau and other Republicans mean by in troducing billa in Congress to restrain the rapacity of the Sugar Trust and other monopolies, and denouncing their "dangerous character," if these gigan tic wrongs upon the people have "no place in tbis campaign ?" The "Uncrowned King" of the Re publican party contemptuously brashes aside tbe doctrine declared at Chicago, and established a creed of his own, to which be demands the conformity and observance of Republicans. Of this creed the cardinal dogma Is the opn and undisguised worship of the tariff born Trusts as too sacred to be touched by tbe profane hand of an American Congress. John Sherman must prepare to obey by abandoning bis bill. The Finance Committee of tbe Senate most take care that the Lumber Trust, the Salt Trust, the Bessemer Steel Combine, the Structnral Iron Ring, the Cotton Bagging Trcsi and tbe half score of other rings tbat flonrish beneath the tariff shall be left undisturbed in their poilation of the American people. Blaine has said it ; these Trusts have 'no place in the National campaign." The platform so recently constructed at Chicago must be trundled off to the po- incai lumoer room before tbe contest It was designed to Inaugurate bas fairly began, and tbe once great Republican party is thus forced into tbe humiliating and degraded position of a subservient tool of tbe voracious Trusts and Monop olies that an Infamous tariff system bas coiled around the American people.

In tbat city, by Joe Demmle, a colored caodriver, early Tuesday morns Ing. Demmle was returning from a ball, accompanied by a companion named John Jones and two colored women. Miller looked at tbem Inquiringly, which Demmle resented, and, after a few words, shot tbe watchman through tbe body below tbe heart. The murderer endeavored to escape, but was captured and taken to the police station In tbe same ambulance which convey ed bis victim to tbe tospitaJ. Miller died shortly after arriving at tbe hospital. No more dramatic scene can be imao Ined than that witnessed In Newark, N. J., the other evening. A madman held his wife by tbe beets hanging from a third story window, and tbe woman, bead down ward and expecting to be dropped to death every Instant, clung desperately to an Infant In her arms and filled tbe air wltb shrieks. Some men entered the house, and by in stantaneous understanding two of tbem crept softly behind the lunatic and seized tbe woman's feet, while others struck down and secured tbe man. Tbe weman was then carefully drawn back, still holding her Infant, and both lives were saved. But it is feared tbat tbe shock bas unsettled tbe poor woman's reason. A party which just arrived In UeleDa from Northern Montana reports tbe terrible fate of a sheepherder named Fitch. The unfortunate man was herding sheep In an Isolated part or the country, and on the day or tbe accident bad been vblted by the owner of the herd, and a meeting planned for the next day. The herder not appears ing, and the sheep being found alene, search was made for the mac, who was found three days after, a shapeless mass, at tbe end f a lariat attacbed to tbe horse's saddle. It is supposed tbe man went to sleep after sttscblng tbs borse to himself, and tbe ani mal becoming frightened, started to run, knocking Fitch senseless before be could gain control. Margaret Shea, of West Chester, Pa., died some months ago, leaving in her will a bequest of 1 1.500 for the keeping of a Newfoundland dog belonging to ber, the money to be Invested and the Interest to be applied to the taking care of tbe animal, and at its death be to be buried beside her in tbe Great Valley Presbyterian church yard, and the 1,500 to be passed over to the use of tbat church. On Friday last tbe dog died, and bis remains were banded over to the care or a funeral director, who neatly placed them in a coffin and buried them be side tbe dog's mUtress In the grave desig nated, and on Monday the money was band ed over to the church in accordance with tbe letter of tbe wllL Tbe dog was four teen years of age. One of tbe most peculiar attempts at suicide ever recorded occurred at Wheeling on Sunday morning. Mrs. Anne Lowreyi an old lady of 82 years, who lives with her bachelor son John just above tbe city, left tbe bouse while the son was at market, and going to tbe liver, 200 yards from tbe bouse, deliberately waded out into tbe water tilt she was In over ber bead. When she was seen by neighbors sbe was up to ber neck, and before they could get to her she had disappeared. Several minutes elapsed be fore ber body was found, and she waa then apparently dead, but no effort was made to resuscitate ber. She revived about a half hour later, and it is thought sbe will get well. She said sbe was getting feeble and feared sbe would become a burden to ber son, snd had contemplated suicide for three days and embraced tne first opportunity. A special from Falorda, In the public land strip to Kansas City, says tbat the rarmera and herdsmen of that section, who had lost many horses and cattle recently, suspected a band of campers wbo claimed to be catching wild horse, and, finding evi dence of guilt, forty well-armed vigilantes surrounded the camp and sent in a commit tee of six men to demand tbe surrender ot the thieves. The reply or the desperadoes was a volley, which wounded one man and two horses. Tbis angered tbe vigilantes, and firing was at once began and the out laws shot down without mercy. They fooRbt desperately, and no quarter was asked or given. In twelve minutes tbe fir ing ceaseaL and seventeen outlaws were found to ''hare been killed. The vigilantes had three men killed and nine wounded. Two horses were also killed and eeven wounded. Sixteen stolen horses were re covered. Not one 'outlaw escaped alire. A wholesale lysehisg, such as was never before recorded in the history of the State, occurred Monday morning at Oxford, N. C. At about S otlock in the morning three negros Henry Tanner, his son John Tanner, and Alonzo Smith were taken fresi jail by a masked mob and banged to a tree in the suburbs of the town. The Tan Bert were In lail on a charge or murdering a negro some months sgo, and Smith on a charge or arson. Tbe mob, which was well organized, cossisted or only about 60 men. They came stealthily Into town, secured tke prisoners, and took tbem to tbe suberbsbes fore an alarm could be raised. Tbe keys ot tbe jail were taken from a drawer la the sheriff's office in the Court House, and tbe lail. which baa street ceils, was unlocked. mere was only one man guarding the jail, and he was overpowered, and a policeman, who was taken In cbarue bv the Ivnrhera. Tbe three victims were taken ouiside of the town snd banged ou one tree and on the same limb. All three died by strangulation.
