Have the, Political Blues.
_ Whatever Republican politicians
may say, abd ‘whatever pretense the
office-holding faction of that party may
make of having no fears of the result
of the election, there is a down right
dread in the minds of the most earnest
leaders of that organization, that there
*.is.pomething wrong some where, and
. 10 others the shadows of an overwhelm-
ing defeat, hang upon their hopes like
‘crape on the door knob of the house
~inwhich funeral ceremonies are being
conducted. IR!
The “Philadelphia Fa er, the organ
and mouthpiece of Senator, Quay, has
sounded the alarm a half ‘dozen tithes
.gibice the nomination, and now toots
its mouraful hera-about the mistake
of turning: {CruarxsoN down as chair
“ma of the National committee, and
putting in his place, an inexperienced
and unknown man like CanpgeL, to
‘conthidt” a campaign that is to be “no
‘¢hilds play.” and in which the “strong-
“ “est efforts must be made to insure suc-
i cess, ” it ‘
Ho ‘J. SroaT Fasserr, the Sprtbitativh
of boss Pratt of New York, is anoth-
~er.of the active leaders of. that party
who is not, so blind as to fail to see the
desperate condition of the Republican
party, and in a speech to the National
committee on Monday last, tersely
stated it as follows: “We are con-
“fronted at the joutstart with the ap-
palling ‘spectacle of Wisconsin’ and
“Illinois in the list of doubtful States,
“and Iowa by no means certain, with
“the religious differences rife in the
“N orthwest and a threatened coalition
“of the Democracy with the Alliance.
4 The Democrats have nominated, to
““my mind, the strongest man they
“could have placed in the field, especi-
“ally so far as the thirty-six electoral
“votes of New York are concerned.”
And Mr. Fasserr and the Philadel:
delphia Inquirer, are not the only rep-
resentatives of Republicanism who
have the political blues over the situa-
tion and prospecte. There is Mr.
BraiNg, Mr. Prarr, Mr. Quay, Mr.
CrarksoN, Mr. Duprey, Mr, INcALLs,
Mr. Worcorr, and in fact four-fifths of
those who have borne the political
burdens and heat of Republican con-
flicts, see it in the same light and are
hopeless of results.
It is these signs, with a knowledge
of the strength and worth of their own
candidate that should encourage Demo-
crats, from this, the opening of the
campaign, until it closes in November,
to bend every .energy and put forth
every effort, to make their victory as
complete and overwhelming as possi-
ble.
But they must remember, that Re-
publican discouragement will not make
a Democratic victory. It will require
the best efforts and the united energies
of every opponent of extortionate tariff
taxation, force bills, and Republican
profligacy, to secure the success, that
is now admitted to be within their
grasp.
—The decision of the court of com-
mon pleas which precludes the possibil-
ity of certain Philadelphia street rail-
way companies substituting electric for
horse power will doubtless please the
cranks who have been fighting the
trolleys ever since their proposed intro-
duction. There was nothing else for
the court todo than decide as it did
but the consequence will be the retro-
gression of rapid transit in that city un-
til special legislation legalizes the sub-
stitution.
until Philadelphians will awaken to a
realization of the fact that they have
spent half their lives on the old horse
cars, while other cities are distancing it
as commercial marts through . superior
systems of transit.
It is only a question of time |
Another Horror.
The frightful accident in which so
many innocent lives were sacrificed, at
Harrisburg, last Saturday morning, is
another evidence of criminal neglect.
It seems that the greater the degree of
mechanical perfection for safety in rail-
roading the more careless operatives
become. The Block signalling system,
supposed tc be the greatest triumph
in railroading, is here directly connect-
ed with the loss of eleven lives and the
injury of more than a score of people
simply because the man in charge of
the tower set his own judgment up
against all the rules of the company
and of the system which he was
working.
The fact that “he is an unsophisti-
cated country youth” and that “he is
now losing. his mind’ ‘in: the Harris-
burg jail, where he is held on the
charge of manslaughter, will not bring
back the lives of those who, without a
moments warning, were crushed into
eternity, nor. will it: dispel the pall oy
death which his carelessness has
spread over so many homes.
The miraculous escape of the occu-
pants of “Glen Eyre,” the heavy pri-
vate car owned by GrorcE WESTING-
HOUSE, the Pittsburg ‘inventor, is an
excellent illustration of the additional
safety in coaches of Heavier build than
the ordinary passenger car. Though it
was the first one struck by the collid-
ing engine, not’ one’ of its .occupants
was injured while the cars on the front
of the train were completely -telescop-
ed. Had the heavy car been made up
on the front of the train the fatalities
might have been far greater, but as it
was, much ot the momentum of‘ the:
second section was spent in plowing
under the “Glen Eyre.”
—CLEVELAND: and HARRISON Owill
leave the zilver question to flourish in
rural politics. They'll fight it out on
the tariff line this fall. :
A Good Ticket.
Our Democratic friends in: Clearfield
have done themselves proud by nom-
inating the following excellent ticket.
Congress, GEo. M. BrisBIN; Assem-
bly, Jxo. K. Gorman and Cuas. F.
Kine; Prothonotary, Dorsey D. GIN-
GeErICH; and Recorder, KiNE Boozer.
With a number of these gentlemen,
the writer has a persondl: acquaintance,
and knows them to be just the kind of)’
men and candidates that every Demo-
crat should take pride in voting for,
Morally, intellectually and ‘politically
they are worthy the warmest support
of all citizens who desire to see careful
and conscientious men in charge of
public positions, and while there is no
question about their election, we hope
to see our Clearfield brethren give them
an unusually large majority. They
deserve it.
An Available Candidate.
The Democrats of the entire state,
or at least those who have a personal
acquaintance with J." HENRY CoCHRAN
Esq., of Williamsport, will be glad to
learn that a movement is now on foot,
to make him the Democratic nominee
for Congress in his district. It is a
largely Republican district, but with
Mr. CooHRAN’S personal popularity, his
connection with the ‘business interests
of his section, his strength among the
laboring people, whose welfare he has
always advocated and whose necessi-
ties Le has so often assisted to alleviate,
his well known interest in every enter-
prise that tends to develop the indus-
tries or wealth of the countries forming
the district of which he is a resident,
it 18 believed by the Democrats and
conceded by many Republicans that
he can be elected. Two years ago the
Democrats would have elected Mr.
EvLLior, to represent this same district
but for the treachery of certain Clinton
county politicians, who had pullenough
on party-workers to require them to
give the county to Hopkins. This
could not have been done had Mr.
CocHRAN been on the ticket, and with
him as the nominee at the coming elec-
tion the breach then caused in the
party would be bealed and all factions
and all interests would «turn in to
secure his eleciion. He would
make not only a popular, but an
able and influential Representa-
tive, and add strength and standing to
the Democratic majority in Congress.
Mr. Evviorr, who was so unjustly
treated, by members of his own party
along the West branch, refuses as we
understand, to be considered a candi-
date. Himself and friends however,
will give a cheerful and hearty support
to Mr. Coonrax if he will accept, and
in case he can be induced to allow his
name to go upon the ticket, we can
look for one of the most hopeful and
hottest fights ever made in the Six-
teenth district.
——Take the WarcaMAN during the
campaign. It isthe only truly relia-
ble Democratic organ in the county.
* Doing Their Duty.
Some of the larger property owners
in Bellefonte are making no little ado
about the increase in valuations that!
has been made under the new assess
ment. For years back a number of
business blocks in this place have been
upon the assess books, valued at a lit-
tle more than double the amount of
their annual income. and at less than
one fourth the figures, their owners
iwould ask |; for them if they desired to |,
sell. While these properties were
away down in valuation, ordinary
dwelling houses and the realty ot the
masses, was put at almost its full
value, and throughout the county tarm
land was valued in many instances at
a higher figure than it would sell for.
To equalize these unfair valuations,
and have all persons pay their just
and proper proportion of taxes, is the
duty of the Commissioners. It isadiffi-
cult job but they are earnestly and
honestly, trying to do it; and while we
commend them for their efforts, we
also congratulate the smaller property
owners, who have heretofore been pay-
ing more than their share of the taxes,
on the prospect of an equalization of
values, that in the end will lessen the
exorbitant taxation that has for years
been fastened upon them:
In this matter the people will stand
‘by the Commissioners.
.. ——Allentown Democrats are first
in the field with their preparations for
the fall campaign. On Saturday even-
ing, but two days after the nomination,
three CLEVELAND clubs were organized,
with an aggregate membership of over
500; arrangements for a monster rati-
fication meeting was made, and if the
old ‘tenth legion
seldom been experienced, the fault will
not lie at the door of the immediate
neighbors of Chairman Wricar. When
“| the Democrats of that section lead in
‘| the good work, they will find that
"those of other sections will neither fear
nor fail to follow.
Eleven Killed in the Wreck

HARRISBURG, June 25.-~Eleven per-
sons are dead, three aredying an ot
ers are lying in the City 'Hospit,
riously injured, the result.of the alli
sion on the Pennsylvania Railroad {;
near the, city limits early yesterday
morning. That more were not killed
is almost a miracle, for the whole thing |
occurred ‘in almost an instant. The
rain, falling in torrents at times, added
to the confusion and mingled with the
pitiful cries of the unfortunate passen-
gers pinned here and there in the
wreck.
THE TRAIN WAS A TRIFLE LATE.
The Western express is due here at
12.15 o’clock a. m. Thig morning,
however, it was several minutes late
leaving Philadelphia and had not made:
up the lost time when it reached here.
It was made up of one baggage car. and
one express car, three day coaches and
the private car of George Westinghouse,
the Pittsburg inventor of the air brake.
Robert Pitcairn, of Pittsburg, was also
with the Westinghouse party.. ‘As the
train rolled into Harrisburg it was stop-
ped a few minutes at Dock street, east
of the station, to: allow: some shifting
in the yards, the flagman being sent
back to signal the second section,
which was following close behind.
THEN CAME THE CRASH.
He was soon called in, and the train
had but started when the second sec-
tion dashed around the sharp curve a
few yards away. Then came a horri-
ble grinding and crushing sound, and
immediately after, the. groans the
shrieks of the injured and dying pas-
sengers. It was an awful moment.
The heavy train, made up of Pullman
sleepers and one express and baggage
car combined, plunged into the hand-
some private car of Westinghouse and
drove it forward, crushing the three
day coaches ahead into kindling wood
in the twinkling of an eye. The loco-
motive ploughed its way through the
rear of the private car, but not a single
member of the Westinghouse party
was scratched.
THE SCENE AFTER THE CRASH.
The scenes in the cars immediately
following the erash baffle description.
The two coaches in which most of the
casualties occurred were broken to
pieces and occupants of the car were
thrown in every direction. Arms and
legs were brokan, faces were crushed
and lacerated, and scarcely a passen-
ger escaped without cuts and bruises
more or less serious. One man shot
through the broken top of a car and
landed alongside the track, not receiv-
ing a single scratch, There were many
other remarkable escapes.
LIST OF THE DEAD.
The total number of dead up to a
late hour this evening was eleven, as
follows :
G. L. Smith, a professor in the Nor-
mal School at Baltimore.
John Black, a machinist of Altoona.
Lizzie Blair, Twenty-first and Dick-
inson streets, Philadelphia.
Robert S, Raymond, Columbug,Ohio,
horse dealer.
E. M. Whitlock, 133 Arlington street
Cleveland, O., chief clerk of a railroad
. company.
Daniel Mason, Hagerstown, Md., a

into a political excitement, euch as has
telegraph operator on ths Middle Divi.
sion, Pennsylvania Railroad.
Rev. Da Costa Pomerene, 3611 Ham-
ilton street, Philadelphia.
Mis. Uriah Heebner, Norristown,
Winfield Heebner, her son, aged 17
ears.
Charles E. Lee, of 1 Windsor street,
Allegheny City, supposed to be a tele
graph operator.
‘Richard Adams,
ture dealer.
A FRIGHTFUL SPECTACLE,
The dead bodies were put in a freiglt
car and taken to the Union Station
where a large crowd assisied in remov-
ing them to “the dead house.
The only bodies recognized before
theirremoval were those of Richard
Adams, the furniture dealer, of South
Second street, this city, who was com-
BE “furni-
ing from New York, where he had |
been on a business trip and that of Rob-
ert S. Raymond, brother of the horse
dealer, of Harrisburg. Other dead
bodies were lying along the track with
a rain like unto a cloudburst pouring
down upon them.
NOT EVEN TIME TO THINK.
Harry Neal, the fireman on the sec-
ond section, says that the wreck was so
sudden that there ‘was not even time to
think of it- It seemed that Providence
was with the men on the engine, as the
telescoped Pullman car went clear up
‘against the cab in the front and the
tender of the engine was stove into the
baggage car, thus completely cutting
off every means of escape.
A YOUNG TELEGRAPH OPERATOR SAYS
HE IS TO BLAME.
H. S. Hayes, the telegraph operator
at'the Steelton tower, practically ad-
mitted before the Coroner’s inquest this
afternoon that he was responsible for
the frightful wreck. Hayes, who is a
young man of 22, was arrested to-night
at the instance of Coroner Hoy, on a
charge of manslaughter. ' He iz now
in jail and his mental distress is terri-
ble. Fears are S2pressed that he may
lose his mind.
HE WAS A SUBSTITUTE.
Last night he was on duty at the
Steelton tower as a substitute for Wil-
liam Good, the operator. He allowed
the second section of the express to en-
ter the block before the first section
had passed out at the western end
against the rules of the company, and
the disaster is the direct result of the
violation of the rules.
When informed of the wreck dnd
loss of life, he became almost frantic,
and the day operator was ordered on |
duty. He simply assumed that the.
first section had passed the block with-
out troubling himself about any notifi- |
cation from the Dock street tower to
that effect.
HE WEPT BITTERLY.
Hayes was closely questioned, and
during his examination was greatly ag- |
itated, frequently breaking down, and
weeping bitterly. He is an unsophis-
ticated youth and but lately left the
farm in York county. He frankly ad-
mitted that he gave Engineer Kelly the
white signal to go on without first hav-
ing been notified that the block was
clear, but thought he was not wholly
responsible for the accident. He said
other operators had made the same se-
rious mistake.
Hayes also admitted that there had
been two other persons in the tower
with him, and that ia that he had brok-
en another another PE rule of the
company.
HE GOT THE WHITE SIGNAL.
Hugh Kelly, of Philadelphia, the en-
gineer of the second section, sald when
he came in sight of the Steelton tower
he got the white signal. Near the
Dock street tower he received the red
signal. He whistled, applied the
brakes and reversed the engine, as he
saw the other train just ahead on the
same track. When the first section
wasstruck it was ‘sixty yards west of
the Dock streettower. .. He would -have
been able to discover the signal at the
tower if: the weather had been better’
and the rails dryer. Under more tav-
orable circumstances he would proba-
bly have been able to stop the train.
Kelly said the operator at the Steel-
ton tower had thought the block clear
and given him the white signal.
Charles B. Rettew, conductor of the
second section, believed Engineer Kel-
ly to be a competent engineer, and that
the Steelton operator had no authority
to allow two trains on a block at one
time,
Importance of Health.’
Carlylesays: ‘But you are to consid-
er thronghout, much more than is done
at present, and what it would have been
a very great thing for me if I had been
able to consider, that health isa thing
to be attended to continuely that you
are to regard that you are to regard that
as the very highest of all temporal
things for you. Thereis no kind
of achievement you could ‘make in
the world that is equal to good
health.” Carlyle was not only badly
trained or “brought up” for soundness’
of body, but he inherited a tendency to
excitability of the nervous system. His
mother and the race behind her for some
time had drank tea and quarreled over
Scotch theology and abused their bodies
in other ways, till Thomas came as an
eccentric concentration of nervous ener-
gy with no muscular balance.
I am not writing to discourage those
who are by inheritance or hopeless er-
rors, frail and feeble. To such there is
the fine duty, not of doing what others
can do, but what they can do them-
selves. To touchour own bestis our
duty ; not to touch the duty goal of
some one else.
