At High Ilidge, near Sramford, Conn., there is a wife who Js the mother of fourteen children, all living, and cone of them twins. All but two live at home, and these to, catching the scarlet fever, went home to be nursed. They gave It to the other dozen, and the" whole fourteen were sick at once, and medicine had to be mixed in pitchers and bread pans. The Associated J'rcss agent at In dianapolis last year who '-worked in" such good work for Brother Ben has got his reward, and been appointed chief of division In the third auditor's ottioe. The Indianapolis &ntinal says : "Hedges was dismissed In disgrace from the service of the Associated Press last Spring, and is a very con temptible specimen of humanity. lint be did a great deal of dirty work for Benjamin Harrison dorlng and after the campaign, and behold, be Las his reward !" The Blopsburg avctisrx of Satur day says there is unprecedented buffet ing among the miners, and over sixty families at Arm i are utarvinsr, ami it adds : Just think of It ! one family out of every eight a town charge, and this, too, under a glorious 47 per cent, tariff. There is a small weed called lamb's quarters growing in the woods and on the Lil sides around Arnot, which Is gathered, and, after being thoroughly washed and boiled lu salt w:er, to gether with possibly a dub. of terries, constitutes the entire meal of many famines." It Is a relief to learu that Carnegie and hi? striking employees says the Wilmington Every Evening, have come to an agreement without bloodshed, but will the duped operatives who have submitted to a cut-down of 20 per cent, be ready to fail in line iu the next Presidential campaign behind banners glorifying high tar IT and "protection' to American labor ?

To every Intelligent mind this may explain his sum and quotient, but it absolves no citizen from the pen alty of having to blush for him. ConroriAL Tanner's halcyon and vociferous proceedings says the Phila delphia Record, seems d eat i Led to meet with a dark and bitter ending. Both President Harrison and Secretary Noble have "shot down" on the Corporal. Tbe officials who are engaged in reor ganizing the medical examining depart ment of the l'ension Bureau openly flout him, and pay no heed to his re- quests or demands. The word has ap parently gone forth from headquaiters w.fr rr . . i i ... v,ula: i.nn .nan no longer hovel out the surplus according to bis a I ''H" uvi runuui notions, I'Ufc ahall follow the strict bent and letter of the laws. Moreover, it Las been said on Republican authority that after the National Encampment of the Grand Army, to be held in Augnst, at Milwau kee, shall have come and gone, the place that now knows Tanner will know him no rfore forever. This will be sad news to the hopeful Democracy, which had confidently counted upon Tanner's powerful assistance to aid them in weeping the country in the next Con gressional election. The Corporal slanders the veterans of the war by assuming that the Grand Army approves of his insane wasteful ness. Even if that organization should eo far dt part from the principles upon which It was fonnded as to approve of pensions by wholesale, it would be cbesp per to give every Grand Army man there are 3o4.210 members In the Grand Army organization a pension of 510O0 a year than to continue the reckless and idiofic squandering of public funds of which Tann-r stands convicted by his !

The prospectus of the North Ameri can Salt Company says the New York World, is the most impudent thir g seen or heard in this country since Tweed, with a complete exposition of his xas ca'.itita b-fore the public, aked : hat are you going to po about it ?" The prospectus insults the inlelii- gmceof the reader by assuring Lim that while the com puny purposes to owe or control cearly ail the salt works on this continent it docs not intend to establish a monopoly. Iu auother paragraph we are told that it iuttuJs rigidly to limit production to prevent "ruinous competitive prices," but that it will permit tsiouU ait to be produced in its works in each year to civt, each person iu tbe country a year's supply, and that it dovs not in tend to establish too high prices. though it proposes to take to itself a yearly protlt of ?-.0uu,(XO. But the full measure of the impu dence underlying the scheme is seen only in that part of the prospectus in which the public is informed that tbe American people will not be permitted to escape from the clutches of the mon opoly by abolishing the tariff duties on foreign salt. The uew company has taken care of that by placing some of its stock where it will da most good. It has entered into arrangements with a combination of foreign productrs by which they become interested in main taining the monopoly, and will refuse to sell their salt for shipment to the I'nited States except at prices which will not disturb the company's control of the market here. These gentlemen enjjy a corporate franchise from the S;ate of New Yoife. In view of their avowed conspiracy with foreigners to checkmate any at tempt of Congress to open free compe tition in a prime necessary of life it may be worth the Attorney-General's while to inquire Into tbe validity of a charter which is avowedly to be used not only for the fleecing of tbo people but also for the nu!l:2cation of acts of Congress. There is still no oue says the Phila delphia Jhruld. so a. to do reverence to "Corporal" Tanner. His appoint ment as Pension Commissioner was deliberate ; President Harrisoo could not by any possibility have been igno rant of tho character o; this b'tfint noijy demagogue ; his selection seemed an entirely iltting thing in view of the bitter assaults made on President Cievel-nJ during the last campaign Tor his hot.est tnd courteous course iu ieg-ird to pen sions. Why, thrn, do not the Republi can organs speak out and send up a general defense from along the whol s line ' This question has frequently been asked of late but never answered. When this genial professional vet eran started out to raise pensions all arouuJ and to tell the bojs to send in their applications by wholesale for "re-ratings," "reissues," "reissues and increases" and the like, and when he even began such harmless little vaga ries as the creation outright or whole new classes of pensioners, without the trifling formality of securine acts of Congress or anything resembling it, there was general ltepublican silence or positive approval of the "liberal" poli cy pursued. The Philadelphia "Pro?" indeed said that the plan of construing all doubts in favor of claimants, as Tanner did, was a good one, and one that reflected great credit oa the ad miniatration. Whv. therefore, when Tanner has met the pension business in that frank, impulsive, "generous" manner which characterizes &o many men when dealing with other people's money, why do tbey all desert tim and witness, unresented, the countless at tacks upon him without and within his oflice ? Wfcai'a the matter with Tanner any how Tt The several committees which re ceived moneys for the sufferers by the late floods have says the Philadelphia Tim's, honestly endeavored to perform their duties in the distribution of the funds ; but they y,e failed to do it satisfactorily to the sufferers is obvious to all. Doubtless the committees and those Immediately representing them are un justly censured by the Johnstown peo ple ; but that has not shaken the pub lic faith in their integrity. It has, bowever, widened and deepened the conviction that the best possible dispo sition that could be made of the entire fund would be to baud it over at once to the local anance committee of Johns tows. The local committee is composed of aumuieaiy nonest, intelligent, repre sentative men, and why not let them deal with the countless perplexing pro blems which logically arise in the dis tribution of such a fund ? They are known to the sufferers ; they are in hearty sympathy with the bereaved and impoverished people, and why not give them the money and let the dispute stop ? The wicked English free traders, ac- corjm- to th 8U!wart or of Uad rPatr;c; irtn . .- K 1 v i uiuurj that they are compelled to turn to foreign countries in seeking for invest ments or the wealth they have gained under free-trade. This influx of free trade capital has unquestionably tended lo the developaieut of trusts through this country. And the most notab'e result of Project-en to American indus try is more trusts. Between the syn dicate backed by British gold and the combinations organized by tariff shel tered American monopolists, the plain, everyday citizen is apparently going to have a tough time of it. On the river Thames, England, boats are run by stored electricity. Floating electrical power stations have been pnt up at various points on the river, so that the electric launches can, by drawing alongside of one of these craft, take in a supply of electriicty with not as much trouble as would be needed in obtaining a supply of coal. This may safeiy Le set aown as me beginning of a xevolu- tlou in propelling boats on rivers, to be followed in time by the substitution of . . . eifdrtcity for every kind of wherever i-ower is used. power A Munlj Combine. The salt combine has obtained a char ter under the general laws of New York for tho North American S!t Company, capitalized a: ?lo,000,000, embracing 140,000 common stjarea and 80,000 eight per cenS. pieferrd shares, ail ot ?50 or .10 each, and 54,000.000 in six per cent, bonds. Tne combine is beaded by Wellington It. Bart, President of tbe Michigan Silt Association, and takes in a'l the leading salt producers of this country and Canada, with lVjrd Thiir low, President of tbe Eogiish Salt Un ion, and Joseph Yeitim, a director in the same, as trustees and directors. The sl trust is manly and above board. It advertises its various slocks and bouds in newspapers which favor monopoly trusts and assures investors that with the salt rombitie they can re turn "more than 20 per cent." annual profits on the capital. The advertised proectus quotes the financial success of the sui?ar trust as conclusive evi dence that the salt trust must pay im menHely. It says that siiiiar preipcrties va!u-d at only 512,2o0,0n0 were com bined at a watered capital of four for one or toO.000,000. and, the prospectus addB. "the earuingsof which (the, sugar trust) are now sufficient to make the securities representing this large amount leadily salable at prices much aoove par." Thi bame piopectus com mends the "economic-! and progressive administration of the Standard Oil Company," and it baa the merit of courage arid honesty throughout. It proposes to conibiuesalt, to advance the price, to increase taxes to consumers which embrace the whole people of the eounrrv, and boldly says that it is a good business scheme. But, manly as is the giittericg pros pectus of the North American Salt Company, outsiders would do well to take a pause and look over the whole ground carefully before thev invest iu the stocks or bonds of ihe new monopo ly combine. People who are interested in th production of salt and get in on the ground floor may safely go in. The leading salt producers will be fully able to take care of themselves, even wben the people knock the salt trust higher than a kife. as they surely will ; but who will then protect the outside in vestors ? The shares of the sugar trust represent four dollars for every one or property put into the combine, and the salt trust has not failed to profit by the apparently successful enterpr.se of me sugar speculator. hen the reck oning shall come, the sugar leaders will have their refineries ; Tbe salt leaders will have their factories, and tbey will fall on their feel while, share and bond holders will be utterly unable to take car of themelves. n ith the men who are now organiz ing trusts and putting into them pro perties at double, treble or qnadruple prices, it is "heads I win ; taus you lose' in dealing with outside investor?. and only tbosa who have a secure berth On the giound floor ehouid venture into the enterprise. It Is a prettv certain speculation for the ground fl xr meu who can snll mills and factories at tre treble prices, but it is pretty certain loss in the near future to those who play the ro'e of lambs as investors. Don't monkey with trusiB unless you are selli"? at big profits to those who buy. Five years hence this country will be historic as the graveyard of monopoly trusts. This universal whack of combines at the earnings of the peo ple has made the peopie decide to take their whack at inonowly robbery, and they will d i ih-ir work wonderfully well. J'i.V.a Times. Tfce American Farmer. During ths hot, sultry season when the President isnstine at Deer Park, Blaine sniffing the cold treezes that play about Bar Harbor, and the .Pis tons. Dobsons and ethers of the tariff fed monoiHliais are enjoying the sally air ot the watering places that line the shores of the middle and lower Atlantic, the "ArneriCin farmer" is busy at work. To him there comes no week of r-st from work and care, for surcease of !abor with him traris loss of crops ai.d inevitable ruin. While h is sweat- ; ing ber-ea'h the boiling sun of Juiy and August, the editors in tbe employ of salt trusts, sugar trusts, steel trusts and various other combinatious. are busy arrauging the figures of the crop report. One of thee tells us that "Trade is usually dull for this season, but the ex cellent coudition of the crops gives a comrortable assurance to us that agri culture, the basis of all our wonderful proepersty in the past, will again light en the dark gloom of despondancy which at present lowers upon our man ufacturing and mining enterprises." Exactly so. It is the agriculturist and not the manufacturer that furnishes "the basis of all our wonderful prosperity." And for this, how is he rewarded ? Taxed on bis coal, his salt, sugar and soap. Taxed on his nails, fence poets, harness and wagons. Taxed on his mower and reaper, and cn the twine that is used to bind his sheafs of grain. Taxed on bis straw hat and cotton shirt, his shoe strings and pants buttons. Taxed on bis rain barrel, wash tuts, tin dippers and butter crocks. Earthenware, glass ware, hardware, bricks, srone and lum ber, glaas jtrs for holding fruits, and wax for sealing them are each and all taxed to the 'armer who must sell his products in the markets of the world, taking Liverpool, England, prices, be cause the price in that market fixes tbe maximum price in this country. Some day the farmer will understand the scheme of tariff robbery that consigns him to unremitting toil, tbe working men to strikes and lockouts, and the syndicate of manufacturers to the sea side or in journeyings to Europe. It the meanwhile, let the farmers of Penn sylvania ask themselves the question- "how doth it profit a man to gain tea whole of nothing ana lose the results of his labor by unnecessary taxation. " JIarrislurg Patriot. A Return to the Days of Brains. Tbe atmophere of the United States Senate seems to have a corrosive in fluence oa tbe fortunes of its mmhai-a The latest wrecked fortune that we bear of is that of Washburn of Minneso ta whose immense wealth, ma ia the less statesmanlike profession of grinding flour, has begun to take wings onto itself and fly away. When hia prede cessor, Sabm. was elected he was one of the greatest car bnilders in the country. When Tom Ferry of Grand Haven went into the Senate for Michi gan Le had a fortune of large size. When he quit he was on the verge of the bankruptcy wbich came and ruined him. Sharon's fortune was measurably decreased while he held office from the pocket borough, Nevada. Surague, a Senatorial millionaire from Rhode Is land, went Into the soup financially. These are only the big ones ones whose losses were so large as to become public. Perhaps it mav be one of the secret ways of Providence to make member ship in the Senate appear less inviting, and thus work a return to days when brains rather than boodle shall be a desideratum in that body.

The monopoly tariff, insuring great operatois in this country against toreign competition, encouraging trusts and combinations less compact to put up prices on tbe one band, or to stop pro ductions and curtail work and wages on tbe other, is. according to Mr. Harri son, Mr. Blaine, and the Fcderalist-lv-publicau-Trust party, a great nation al blessing. Previous to the last election Ameri can industry In all its branches was promised ui,to!d advantages from tbe support, of this baibHrous iniquity. The rich being made richer by their ability undtr this arrangement to fix their own pricrs upon tb necessaries of life, which we uiu.-t have, aud likewise upon our labor, which we must sell, or perish, were gating out of their own sweet pleahuie, to take the most tender care of the American workingman who thos placed himst-lf at their royal mrrcy ! The natural and the logical results are already & parent ail over the country in the extreme distress of our laboring people, and especially in the lockouts and strikes in such highly pro tected enterprises as those of Mr. Car negie and the other financial chiefs of the trust party. But probably the sad dest case is that of the bituminious coal minera ic Illinois and Indiana, who after numeroua reductions, declined to submit to the fresh cut, which brought them down to about CO cents a day. Required to purctiase the necessaries of life, clothing, bedding utensels, salt and sugar out of such wages, at tariff and trust prices, tney saw tnat it was starvation whether thev should strike or submit, and they chose to strike. They are tbe fame unfortunate miners who were loaded into excursion trains by their employers and carried to In dianapolis by tbe thousands to wait on General Harrison and express their ap proval of that worthy's disinterested stand against any reduction of the be neficent monopiy tariff. It is not likely that many of these men were actually deceived by the pretenses of the capi talists and politicians who thus used them, but their bread and butter de pended upon compliance, ard tbey obeyed. The tales of want and suffer ing which come up from them now are enough lo move a heart of granite, while, for the blight which has fallen their industry, and deprived them of earning their bread, they are as little responsible as are the inhabitants of the Conemaugh for the desolation o that valley. A workman of Pittsburg, a Democrat, with a bead and heart honestly devoted to tbe intereets of his class, and sympa thizing with these winers ia the calami ty which has overtaken them, has started for their relief the tariff reform ers' fund, to which be and tbe Pittsburg l'ost invite contributions of any amount from any part ot tbe country. The re Sonse to this appeal ought to be ae great in proportion as that in the case of Johnstown. These men and their families are In a state quite as sorrowful, except for the loss of life, as were the others. In some instances, it is said, they are actually starving. The J'o.t will receive and forward everything that may be sent to it, and we devoutly trust the great-hearted Democracy from the lakes lo the gulf will aswr this call to their humanity. JV. 1'. Globe Helping the Trunis. That big monopoly known as the su gar trust has a good friend in the pre sent administration as the lo.lowing in stance, told by a Washington dispatch, shows : East August President Cleveland's administration, desiring to put as many salutary checks as possible on the trust, in order to limit its power for deceiving and defrauding both the Government and the people, ordered that all consul lar invoices for importations of sugar should give to each bag the distinguish ing mark of the plantation upon which the sugar was produced. The object of this order was to make possible a more definite and certain classification, facil itate the work of appiaisal and protect lIlc "Jemuieni Dy masing it difficult ;e importers or the snippers to practice decent ion "It is the constant otject of the su gar trust to let tbe Government and the people know as little as possible about its business, and the members of tbe truBt naturally opposed the regulation about plantation marks. They tried in vain to get Secretary Fairchild to re voke his order, but they have succeeded in getting the Treasury department under the new administration to revoke it so far as the Treasury Department can do it. "Theenly reason given for this ac tion is that the consuls at shipping ports found it Impossible to obtain tbe required marks because the shippers, under the instructions of the trust, dimply refused to comply. This excuse is palpably worthless : for if the Gov eminent insisted on getting the pre scribed kind of consular invoice before allowing the sugar to land, both plant ers and trust would quickly surrender." Thus it will be seen that the only way to knock tbe trusts out is to knock out the men and the pollcv that be friends them. They are Beginning to Squeal.

A recent fire at Lu Chow, China, burned 23 hours, destroying 87,00 dwellings, over 1.200 persons perishing In the fUmes, and 400 others were killed. Nearly 170,000 peo ple were obliged to camp out without she! ter. and were dying at the rate of 100 a day rrom want and exposure. Tbe authorities are providing for their necessities. Mrs. Samuel Crossland, who lives Just across the river from Uroadford, Fa., had her arm broken on Saturday In a rather pe culiar manner. She was engaged about her usual duties wben a large toad, which bas a fashion of making himself familiar about ir.e premises, crossed ine aooreni and came hopping toward ber. She paid no attention to It, and it was not till It was quite near ber that she noticed a huche blacksnata bicb was pursuing It. Much frightened she turned to run Into another room and falling sustained the accident mentioned. Tbe snake was killed by the male inmates of tbe bouse. There is an old man In Washington named Roger Evans, who claims to have polished tLe boots of every presided since the time of Jackaou. He bas beeo obliged at times to resort to peculiar devices to ac complish his designs on tbe shoes cf a new executive. Up to a few weeks ago he bad not been ahle to capture Harrison's feet, but be met the President one day recenty about a block from the White House. Har rison's shoes were dusty and in sd instant Evacs had his box ou the ground and, be fore the President realized what had hap pened, had tegun to wield bis brushes vigorously. Harrison had to submit. A party of surveyors beaded bv Frank M. Brown, left Denver, Colorado, May 23rd for the purpose of exploring the Color ado river with a view to the building of a railroad by that route to the Pacific coast. On Monday tbe following telegram was re ceived from the expedition : "Ktnap, Utah, July 22. Piesldeut Frank M. Urow,n was drowned lo the Colorado river in Mar ble Canon, July 10, by a boat being cap sized while running the rapids. Five min utes after, while working our way down, another boat was driven against a cliff, and in pushing it eff it was capsized and two boatmen, Peter Hasborouh and Henry C. Richards, were drowned Di fore assistance could reach them. It is impossible to re cover any of the bodies. Captain Travers, of the schooner Iles- ter A. Seward, from tbe Bahamas, told a Baltimore reporter that just befora he left the islands on July 4, the natives captured a shark 18 feet long. When It was cut open a half-barrel of saltpotk was found intact In its stomach, besides a number of other articles which tbe monster had swallowed Mr. Miller also had a shark story. Two months ago the body of a monster shark was washed up ou the beach at Anaco InEide the huge mouth was round a small :.SEAEfS wd. In the bar- barrel. It was wedded would neither go up nor do rel, the head or wbich was off, was round all the food the fish bad managed to get in side lis teeth. The barrel caught all tte food and tbe shark starved to death. A most remarkable snake story comes from Mad Uiver towoshlp. not far from Springfield, Ohio. Tbe 6tory is vouched for by Isaac Arrowsraiih. a prominent resdent of tttt township, and can be set down as strictly true. It seems that Mr. Arrowsmith was out with bis gun one day recently and while passing a large elm tree which bas a diameter of eeveral feet, taw to bis amazemeut a biacksnake coiled around tbe trunk of ihe tree about 40 feet from the ground. He fired several shots at it and finally succeeded In bringing it down. It measured nearly eight feet in length and was one ot the largest ever seen in that part of Ohio, as there are no limbs on the tree below where the snake was coiled tbe won der is bow bis snakeship ever succeeded iu reaching his dizzy altitude. Cireat llaatr In W--t Virginia. A claud burst over tbe Little Kanawha Valley, West Virginia, on Thursday night. completely flooding tbe country, destroying a number or lives, carrying off thousands or dollars In property, and ruining tbe crops ror many miles. Big Tygart valley Is com pletely ruined. Tbe nig mill near its mouth went out and took the Tygart bridge with It. In tbe valley all fences, crops and truer. live stock was lost. At Cbesterville, small town about ten miles above, talf tbe residences were carried otr bodily and left in the corn fields. In the clay district a fine church and three dwellings were wrecked. Tne steamer OnuiJa bas been sunk at En terprise and tbe steamer C C. Martin at Burning Springs- Tbe Little Tygart Is re ported completely ruined. Tbe worst story or all comes from Morristown, a Email vil lage Dear the bead or Tucker creek, which was totally destroyed. Tbe first report gave the loss of life at eleven, but later news seem to fix the loss at a greater number, Among those lost are Jake Kieer, bis broth ers Joseph and Thomas : a man named Bailey. Orville Webt, wife and child. WbUktr Kills.' How often are we yet to be told that whihkey kills ? Arsenic kill ; opium kills, and so do hundreds of other good remedies kill if abused instead of vted. But ask tbe question, "Will whiskey cure ?" "Yes !' is the positive reply of the most eminent phy sicians of all the land. Disease steals into your system like a sneak thief into your house, and often by neglecting a bad cold, we end our days in lingering, and wishing for health when, Indeed, one bottle or Ptrs Whifkev or Brandy would have cured tho cold. Such goods may be scarce, but they can be found at Max Kleins, 82 federal 6treet, AllegUeny. Ills "Silver Ae" Is tbe only whisky endorsed by tbe doctors. You can get tbe pure Uuckenheimer.
