Death of Two Heroes.
The deaths of two such men as Gen-
eral SHERMAN and Admiral PorTER
withina few days of each other area
coincidence of rare occurrence in necro-
logy. The General died on Saturday,
at his residence in New York, from an
attack of erysipelas, and the Admiral
died a few days before at Washington
of a disease by which he had been pros-
trated for several years. Both were
prominent and important characters in
the history of their country, having
rendered distinguished service, the one
in the army and the other in the navy,
during the war of the rebellion. In
the military operations of that contest
General SHERMAN was next in distinc
tion to General Grant, while Admiral
PorrEe was next only to Admiral Fag-
RAGUT inthe naval service. Both of
them well deserved the honor and grati-
tude which is accorded them by their
sorrowing.countrvmen.
HES SOTA,
Graduating Liquor Licenses.
We see that the bill introduced in
the Senate graduating liquor licenses
according to population, is commented
upoa as Senator Mgek's bili. The
paternity of the bill cannot be assigned
to him further than that he introduced
it at the instance of some of his con-
stituents, and it may be presumed that
his interest in it does not reach beyond
the desire that can be properly enter:
tained for a more just equalization of
the license privilege.
Taking an editorial view of this
measure it presents points that may
be commended. There is nothing
more difficult to handle than legisla
tion involving the question of the sale
of liquor, With the law leaving the
granting of license to the courts, ac-
cording to the interpretation of the
judges, we are likely to see in some
places licenses grauted almost without
restriction, and in others a restrain en-
forced af most equal to prohibition.
In aeither case is the true intention of
the law carried out. In the first, the
restriction upon the evils of the traffic
is not sufficient to meet the moral in-
tent of the law. In the second, there
is so much restraint that illicit liquor
dealing is encouraged, or the legiti-
mate sale is made a monopoly.
Taking 700 inhabitants as the basis
of license, there are towns, such as Re-
novo, Williamsport, Danville, Sunbury,
Shamokin, and others that
might be mentioned, where the num-
ber of licensed liquor dealers is far
beyond that proportion of licenses to
population, while in some localities
they are as much below; but on the
whole it will be found that in large
towns where the liquor traffic is calcu-
lated to do the most injury, the licens-
ed plaees are more numerous than one
to 700 inhabitants. But leaving the
moral effect of the bill out of view and
judgirg it only by its equitable feat-
ures, it appears to have merit in that |
it secures equality in the operation of
the license law without increasing the
evils of the liquor traffic.
That such a bill, if passed, would
have a wholesome influence upon the
election of judges is argued by the
Danville Intelfigencer, which, in speak-
ing of the bill graduating licenses in |
cities, towns and boroughs in the com- |
monwealth according to population,
with 700 as the basis, says :
We are inclined to look favorably on some
such measure. Formerly we favored lodging
the power to grant the number of licenses in
the hands of the Judge or Judges of th» dis-
trict, but soberer reflection has altered our
opinion, Judges are notalways properly qual. '
ified to decide where and how many hotels
and salons shoyld be licengeqg in a Jocality.
many
Moreover, this matter of license is one of the
most mischievous ane demoralizing questions
that enters the canvass for judges. In a con-
test for judge the liquor and anti-liquor men
are sure to take sides and then the nominee is
pestered fur his opinion on the question. Ina
snarp contest for the position, the nominee fre-
quently gots excited, and, anxious for success,
is often induced to make secret and implied
promises in ths pramises, which after his
election when calmer judgment prevails he is
loath to keep, and which if he does keep im-
pairs his usefnlness as a judicial officer ever
afterwards. It may be said that candidates tor
the ermine should not allow themselvos to be
placed in such a position, all of which is trae,
bat as long as humane nature is ambitious and
the will is weal, it is sure to be done, and the
tone of public morals is lowered thereby.
The bill of Senator Meek will have the effect
to at least puiiaily remove the liquor question
from the arena of the judicial zanvass, in de-
ciding how far a judge can go in granting li-
censes.
The Intelligencer appears to think
that a license to every 700 inhabitants
is making the basis too high ; but in a
moral point of view it had better be too
high than too low. Whether defective
or not in that respect, it would at all
events secure equality, without which
the operation of any law is unfair and
unjust.
—— After a long and spirited contest
the Legislature of South Dakota last
Tuesday elected Rev. James H. KyLe
United States Senator. He wasn’t
among the candidates who were urg-
ently pushing their claims for the of-
fice, but was taken up by the Farm-
ers’ Alliance, without his solicitation,
and, although a Republican, was sup-
ported by enough of the Democratic
members to elect him. It may be
counted upon as certain tha’ he will
not support the extreme measures of
the Republican party and that tariff
robbery will receive no countenance
from him.
Quay Defends the Kemble Pardon.
In the effort to purge his record,
which Senator Quay made in the Sen-
ate the other day, he metthe criticism of
the part he took in securing the par-
don of KemsLE and the other convict
ed bribers by the following declaration
than which nothing could more fully
show the moral obliquity of the man:
My conduct in that matter has been bitterly
assailed and it is proper tosay that the facts
were patent to the people of the state and were
thoroughly oiscus ed before my election to the
office of state treasurer, and subsequently to a
seat in this chamber. I had no personal in-
terest in the legislation involved. My vote as
a member of the board was in accordance with
the law and with the action of my colleagues,
and was compelled by the fact that the sen-
tence imposed by the court upon the persons
pardoned was illegal. Upon this point the at-
torney general of the state filed his written
opinion with our decision. [am frank to say
that I have no regrets for that vote and would
repeat it under the same circumstances. Even
had not the sentence been unjust, it is my
opinion that the ends of justice had been fully
served by the conviction of the defendants.
One of the gentlemen involved has within the
last four weeksreceived the unanimous thanks
of the Pennsylvania legislature for important
services rendered humanity and the State.
The offense for which the parties who
were pardoned had been convicted was
that of bribing members of the Legis-
lature and receiving bribes as such, the
highest crime that citizens can be
guilty of, asit corruptly and insidiously
affects the government at its very
fountain head. Why the conviction
of these men upon evidence clearly ad-
duced and fully sustained was illegal,
is something that is only within the
comprehension of Mr. Quay’ssingular-
ly constituted ethics. That a partisan
Attorney General “filed his written
opinion” sustaining the decision of a
partisan pardon board, did not strength-
en that decision in the least or render
it the less odious. It is a singular de-
fense of that perversion of justice to
say, as Mr. Quay does, that the ac-
tion of the pardon board, of which he
was a member, was in accordance with
the law, or, in other words, that they
had a legal right to pardon those crimi-
nals. This may be so, but that right,
exercised regardless of justice, did not
make the pardon any the less unjustifi-
able.
The public wili not agree with the
Senator that conviction without punish-
ment is an amply sufficient treatment
of criminals, or that the crime of at-
tempting to bribe the Legislature into
the commission of a million dollar
steal was condoned by the criminal’s
subsequently advancing money for the
relief of the Johnstown sufferers which
he had every assurance would be re-
paid.
SCRA
Uncontitutional Emolaments.
We observe in the last County Au-
ditors’ report that the County Commis-
sioners were allowed emoluments in
1889 which were unlawful, and there-
fore unlawfully and irregularly pais
them. In the statement it appears
that each of them received pay for
traveling expenses claimed under the
act of 1889, as follows: J. C. HEew-
DERSON, $36.91; M. S. FIepLEr, $136.-
07; and J. D. Decker, $109.11.
The State constitution says that “no
law shall extend the term of any pub-
lic officer, or increase or diminish his
salary or emoluments, after his elec-
tion or appointment.”
The sums granted the Commission-
ers as stated above, were emoluments
claimed and paid on account of an act
passed alter their election, viz: in
1839, and therefore such payment was
unconstitutional. In giving this opin-
ion we form our conclusion from the
face of the Auditors’ statement upon
which it appears that these emolu-
ments were paid on account of the act
of 1889.
It may be requiring too much to say
that the Auditors should have known
the law on this point, and therefore
should have thrown out these claims;
but it is not too much to insist that the
Commissioners’ attorney should know
something about the law and the con-
stitution, and with such knowledge
should have advised the Commission-
ers that their claims 1n these instances
were invalid. Will the ex-Commis-
sioners refund the county money which
they received contrary to the provi-
sions of the organic law ?
How Should They Treat the Speaker?
The final, sine die, never-to-come-
back-again a djournment of the present
congress is but a few weeks off, and
its members will be called upon to
make some expression concerning the
manner in which the Speaker perform-
ed his trust. This is always done at
the expiration of a congress, and the
expression is usually, if not invariably,
ot a complimentary character.
At the adjournment on the coming
4th of March will the Democratic
members conform to the custom of
complimenting the Speaker? They
can't join in a resolution that will re-
present Speaker Reep as having: con-
ducted himself with fairness, liberality
and courtesy without agreeing to what
is not true. They know that he was
unfair, tyranical and bratal; and to
compliment him after having suffered
from his tyranny and brutality would
be stultitying themselves,
We can’t see what else the Demo-
cratic members caa do but to abstain
from voting on a resolution of thanks
to the Speaker, and present a minority
resolution expressing disapprobation
of the discourtesy, unfairness, partisan
usurpation and personal boorishness
which characterized Mr. Rzrp’s con-
duct as presiding officer of the House
of Representatives.
The Pay of County Commissioners.
Under the new law regulating the
pay of County Commissioners passed
by the last Legislature and approved
by Governor Beaver, May 7, 1889,
the Commissioners who entered upon
their terms of office on the first Mon-
day of January, 1891, will be paid
$3.50 per day for each day of necessary
service. They are required to submit
annually to the County Auditors a full
and itemized statement and account
under oath of the days and nature of
business in which they were employed
during the preceding year, and the
County Auditors shall audit, settle and
adjustsuch accountsinthesame manner
as they audit other accounts of the Com-
missioners. The salary of a Commis-
sioner, should he put in every one of the
313 secular days of the year at the of-
fice, is $1,095.50. Considering the im-
portance of the duties performed by
County Commissioners,and, comparing
their compensation with that of other
county officers, it can not be said that
they are overpaid.

High Water.
Rain and Melting Snow * Swell the
Streams of Central and Western
Pennsylvania.
The excessive rains that fell this week,
attended by the rapid thawing of the
snow caused a great rise in the rivers and
smaller streams of the State. The West
Branch swelled to the proportions of a
first-class flood.
At Clearfield the volume of water was
nearly up to what it was in June, 1889,
and higher than the flood of 1865. A
portion of Lock Haven was overflowed,
the river having reached the twelve foot
mark, and Bald Eagle Creek was within
two feet of being as high as the flood of
’89. but the business part of the town
was not overflowed. The river com-
menced failing at noon on Thursday.
Williamsport was greatly alarmed by
the threatening aspect of the river, and
many merchants inthe lower part of the
city removed their goods from the
ground floors to places of safety, but the
water receded before it was high enough
to overflow the town. At Beech Creek
the water was two feet in the houses.
The Bald Eagle was raising all day
Tuesday and Tuesday night, consider-
ably delaying the trains. The late train
for Lock Haven over the Bald Eagle
was unable to get further than Mill Hall,
remaining there over night and starting
from there .Wednesday morning for
Tyrone.
The Juniata rose eleven feet above
low water mark, submerging all the out-
lying farming districts in the neighbor-
hood of Huntingdon. The flood had
overflowed the banks of the riverat Ty-
rone and the water was beginning to
run into some ofthe streets, when it
commenced to subside.
Johnstown was flooded again and
great alarm was excited, but the waters
went down without doing serious dam-
age.
“The Monongahela and Allegheny
rivers were very high. At Pittsburg
nearly every iron mill was flooded and
closed down, railroad tracks washed
away, squares upon squares of streets
flooded to the second story and thous-
ands of cellars filled. The direct loss
by the flood cannot fall less than $100,-
000.
Cleveland on Silver,
The Ex-President Writes a Letter in
Which He Objects to Free Coinage.
New York, Feb. 11.—About 700
people to-night attended an anti-silver
mass meeting at Cooper Union, under
the auspices of the Reform Club, over
which its President, E. Ellery Anderson,
presided. Ringing resolutions of protest
against free coinage were adopted.
When the President announced a let-
ter from Ex- President Cleveland there
was a deafening shout of applaus. He
wrote as follows :
No. 816 MapisoN AveENUE, Feb. 10,
1891.—E. Ellery Anderson—My Dear
Sir: I have this afternoon received
vour note inviting me to attend to-mor-
row evening a meeting called for the
purpose of voicing the opposition of the
business men of our city to ‘the free
coinage of silver in the United States.”
I shall not be able to attend and address
the meeting as you request, butI am
glad that the] business interests of New
York are at last to be heard on the sub-
ject. It surely cannot be necessary for
me to make a formal expression of my
agreement with those who believe that
the greatest perils would be initiated by
the adoption of the scheme embraced in
the measure now pending in Congress
for an unlimited coinage of silver at our
mints. If we have developed an unex-
pected capacity for the assimilation of a
largely increased volume of the currency,
and even if we demonstrated the useful-
ness of such an increase, these conditions
fall far short of insuring us against dis-
aster, if in the present situaticn we enter
upon the dangerous and reckless exp. ri-
ment of free, unlimited and independent
silver coinage. Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
Tortured Their Victim.
BaTAvIA,O., Feb. 15.-Last night brief
dispatches from here announced the
brutal treatment near Kirbyville of
Thomas Gertain, an aged recluse, by
masked robbers. Trae details of the af-
fair were received to-day. On Friday
night two men, heavily masked, broke
into Gertain’s house, which is located in
a lonely spot, and demanded a large sum
of money he was supposed to have in the
house. The old man protested that he
had none, whereupon the desperadoes
began search. Failing to discover any
money, they determined to torture Ger-
tain into disclosing the hiding place of
his wealth.
Accordingly they bound him to his bed,
which they saturated with coal oil, not
torgettiug to drench their victim with
the fluid. His eyes, nose and mouth were
filled with the fluid, and he was horri-
bly beaten over the head with revolvers.
Yesterday morning Gertain was dis-
covered unconcious. A physician was
summoned, and found his patient fataily
wounded, the skull having been crushed.
Gertain is 70 years old and cannot
survive,

To no man is the world
so new and the future so fresh as to him
who has spent the early years of his
manhood in striving to understand the
deeper problems of science and life, and
who has made some headway toward
comprehending them. To him the com-
monest things are rare and wonderful,
both in themselves and as parts of a
beautiful and intelligent whole. Such
a thing as staleness in life and 1ts duties
be can not understand. Knowledge is
always opening out before him in wider

the last.
The Last Tour in the Series via Penn-
sylvania Raurvad ww Washington, D. C.
The series of tours, arranged this win-
ter by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com-
pany from Pittsburg to Washington,
have been remarkably successful, due in
great measure to the liberal rate and
high standard of service maintained.
The one remaining tour to leave Murch
5th, will undoubtedly carry its full com-
plement of passengers.
Excursion tickets, good for ten days
from date of sale, admitting of a stop-
over in Baltimore in either direction
within the proper limit, will be sold
from Pittsburg at $9.00, and at corres-
pondingly low rates from other stations
in Western Pennnsylvania. The tickets
will be good for use on any regular train
of the dates above named,except limit-
ed express trains; and in addition to
the regular service a special train of par-
lor cars and day coaches will leave Pitts-
burg at 8.00 A. M., and ran through to
Washington, stopping at principal sta-
tions. The return coupons will be valid
for passage on any regular train within
the return limit, except the Pennsylva-
nia Limited.
The rates are unusually low, and the
limitation of the tickets ample for a most
pleasurable trip.
Of Course He Was Right.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Governor Pettison’s veto of the bill
providing for the printing and gratui-
tous circulation of 10,000 copies of his
message was sound and sensible. The
Pennsylvania newspapers had already
carried it into every reading family, and
the proposed expenditure was uncalled
for.
