How It Went.
After the news of the first few days
following an election, it is difficult to |
get anything definite, until the official |
returns are promulgated. At this
writing, but little more 18 known of the
result in States that were doubtful,
than was given the morning after the
A Discouraging Result for Privates.
.
The decision of the Pittsburg Court
in the Iams-StaEaTor case is not cal-
culated to encourage enlistment in the
National Guard of the State, nor does it
reflect credit upon the justice meted
out by our courts or upon the methods
of the military.
Under the constitution it has gener-
ally been supposed that all men were
entitled to a trial before conviction and
Such does not seem to be
As the law has been con-
strued, and enforced by Judge Porter,
a private in the State Guard has no
right but to submit to whatever de-
grading punishment may be inflicted
upon him through the orders of his
no
guarantee of protection of any kind or
no hope of re-dress for any humiliation
or wrong that he may be made to suffer:
If while in the military service of the
State, a soldier can be subjugated to
cruel and and unusual puniehment at
the dictum of a superior, without a
sentence.
the case.
superiors. He has absolutely
hearing or trial, as was the case with
Iams, then what private is safe or who
that wears the uniform of the State can
feel secure from such punishment as
was meted out to him, whenever the
officer in charge may order it.
No one excuses Iams for the foolish
expression that caused his disgrace and
punishment. He was guilty of a gross
breach of good sense, as well as of the
discipline of the company of which he
was a member, but having committed
the offense he was entitled to a fair
trial and to such punishment as his
crime demanded after conviction.
It was not the punishment inflicted,
although that was brutal almost be-
yond belief, so much asthe fact that no
trial was had or no conviction attempt
ed that aroused public indignation. If
the officers in command could impose
sentence and iuflict punishment with-
out trial, for the offense he committed,
then they could do the same and to
any extent, for any other supposed or
actual breach of miiitary authority on
the part of any private scldier.
With this power, claimed by those in
command of the militia and recognized
by the courts as belonging to them,
what man who has respect for himselt
or friends or who values his own safety
in the least, can afford 4o take the risk
of being disgraced, humiliated and pun-
ished at the order of a superior, wheth-
-er he is guilty or not.
And yet this is the position every
private in the State Guard is in to-day.
The order of a Pitteburgh Judge and
the action of a Pittsburg jury,
in the Tams case, has settled this and
hereafter the only safe place for the
young men of Pennsylvania will be in
some other position than to subject to
the whims and spite and autocratic au-
thority of the Sxowpexs StrREATORS
and Hawkins of the State militia.
A ———
Not Lost but Went Wrong for a Short
Time.
Our sympathies go out in great
streams to Major Wirris 8. Bigrry, a
former Centre countian, but of late
years a rustler among the residents of
North Dakota. Mr. BisrLy was born
“a Democrat. His education, teachings
and inclinations would have made him
that had he been born otherwise. He
held Democratic office and preached
Democratic doctrines here in the east,
and after going west held the same
faith until after the Chicago conven-
tion nominated Mr. CLEVELAND. Then
for soma reason, unknown at this dis-
tance, his paper, the Northwest News,
and claiming to be the Democratic
mouth-piece of the State of his adop-
tion, refused to accept the work of the
convention, declined to support its can-
didates and predieted overwhelming and
disastrous defeat to the party and its
ticket. When the effort was made to
unite the Democratic and the Populist
vote of that State it kicked vigorously
against the movement, and again pre-
dicted a dismal and disgrace(ul failure.
Well, the returns are in and North
Dakota, without the News and without
our friend Bierwy, is to all intents and
purposes Democratic. The failures he
predicted resulted in gloricus and in-
spiring successes. The disasters that
were to follow the follies of the party,
bave blossomed out into full grown vic-
tories. The state of his adoption is
outside the Republican fold, and what
is most troubling him tow is to know
just “where he is at.” In his disap
pointments, his doubts and discourage-
meats, he has our sympathies. In his
efforts to get back into the party fold,
he has our best wishes,
—— Hereafter he will be known as

election. The official vote alone will
determine the result as to electors in
Ohio, Nebraska, Wyoming avd North
Dakota.
Sufficient returns are furnished to
show that the next United States Sen-
ate will not have less than 42 Demo-
cratic or more there 40 Republican
members, with six People’s party rep-
resentatives. The official vote from
states yet in doubt, may increase the
Democratic representation to 44, and
decrease the People’s party to four.
The Democratic majority in the lower
House of Congress will be about 100.
The following is the latest tabula-
tion of the result on electors :

Looking Ahead.
The next Democratic county conven-
tion for this county, will be composed
of 93 delegates, or at least that is the
basis we presume the county committee
will fix when it meets to make its appor-
tionment. = Strictly enforced, the rules
would make the next convention coa-
sist of 92 members, but as this is an
even number and could cause trouble
in case of a tie vote, and as there are
two districts, the 3rd ward of Philips
burg and the northern precinct of Gregg,
that have the same excess of votes, we
take it that the usual custom will be
followed, and in place of giving each
of these districts a half a vote, a full
delegate will be allotted them. If this
is done the different districts will be en-
titled to the following representation :

They Mistook Their Man.
They are having a warm time out in
Ohio among the leading Republicans
just now, and it threatens to become
warmer as the row grows older. In
some way or other the facts have be-
come public that during the last Sena-
torial contest, Secretary Foster and
Governor McKINLEY received the prom-
ise of Joun SHERMAN, that in return
for their assistance in downing Forak-
ER, that after a brief term he would re-
sigu the Senatorship and assist Foster
in being made his successor. The lat:
terit seems after depleting the Treasury
now wants to vacate his position and
gtep ito SHERMAN'S shoes.
This SHERMAN vigorously objects to,
and as he holds the position, and all
the other fellows have is his promise
to vacate, it is not likely that any one
will take his place as Senator until the

The trouble with Foster and MoKi~-
LEY is, that in this case they were en-
tirely to gullible. They ought to have
known SHERMAN. An office to him is
one thing ; a promise is another, and
a resignation an entirely different mat-
ter. What he wants he will
make any promise to obtain. What
he gets he will hold onto. He bas
never been known to resign or decline
anything, and the political zreen-horns
who imagined he would give up the
senatorship that they gave him, when
they demanded it, are much greener
than the public had any reason to con-
sider them. In fact, the fellows who
were gullible enough to believe that
SuErMAN would resign are entirely to
green to be “in it” at all.

Ohio Republican Row.
Senator Sherman Does Not Want to Live Up to
His Bargain With Secretary Foster.
WasningroNn, Nov. 14.—“Razors
out all around” seems to be the cry of
the Ohio Republicans just now, and it
is probable that in the melee John
Sherman will have to stand most of
the slashing. Therow grows out of a
bargain which was made between Se-
cretary Foster, McKinley and Sher-
man when the last mentioned was en-
gaged in the desperate struggle with
Foraker for re-election to the senate.
By some it is said Sherman was disin-
clined to gojinto the fight with Foraker,
having discovered that the latter had
a majority of 17 in his favor in the
Ohio legislature. But Foster, McKin-
lev and the administration generally
wanted to down Foraker, Foster himself
desiring to come to the senate some
day. Whether it is true ornot that
Sherman desired to retire without a
fizht, there appears no doubt that
when he went into it it was a bargain
with Foster that after his election he
should resign his seat and allow Foster
to be his successor.
Friends of Foster here assert that
Sherman made a promise of this kind
to four persons, one of whom is admit-
ed to be McKinley, and another no
doubt to Foster himself. What Mec-
Kinley was to get is not known, but it
18 believed he was promised a re-elec-
tion to the governorship to keep him
in line for the presidency in 1896.
But now Sherman has declined to keep
his part of the bargain, and Foster's
friends are warmly indignant, Icicle
John has settled into his senatorial
seat and refuses to budge to oblige Mr.
Foster, although the latter, when
Sherman was locked fast in the
brawny arms of Foraker, threw the
treasury department open to Sherman
and told him to take everything he
wanted in the patronage that would
aid him to down his doughty foe. Not
only the treasury, but the post cffice
department as well was placed at Sher-
man’s disposal, and Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Rathbone went to
Ohio and spent weeks in fighting and
wire pulling for Sherman, It is said
the senator now even refuses to talk
with Foster's friends about the under-
standing, and gives them not the
slightest satisfaction.
Sherman's friend's claim, in his be-
half, that bis resignation would do
Foster r.o good anyway, as Foraker
would be sure to be elected by the leg-
islature. But is understood Foster is
willing to take his chances on this,
ard believes that the same influences
which prevailed when Sherman was
chosen over Foraker could secure Fos-
ter’s election over the fire-alarm states-
man in a new contest,

Pennsylvania’s Vote.
Returns from All the Counties Give Harrison
Less Than 60,000 Plurality.
Official or gemi-official returns have
now been received from every county
in the state. They show a falling off
of the Republican plurality in 1888 of
20,034, Harrison’s vote being 59,429
above that cast for Cleveland. Some
few changes will yet be made in the
figures given below, but they will be
very slight.
The People’s and Socialist Labor
parties obtained but few votes and Bid-
well, Prohibitionist candidate for pres
ident, received only 11,105 in the entire
commonwealth. The vote was less
than that polled four years ago, which
shows that the new ballot law kept
many away. Following is the vote for
the Democratic and Republican candi-
dates for president and supreme judge.

Her Coffin.

sweetheart, Emily Davis, which had
been caused by the girl’s death in the

have been married some weeks ago, but
the young woman taking sick four
months ago, it was postponed until
Christmas, with the hope of rapidly re-
gaining her health. She declined, and
Waters, when hesaw her life ebbing |
away, became disconsolate, and utterly |
broke down when her death occurred
yesterday morning.

Haven and Its Machinery Was Hurled for
SquaresiAround— The Bodies of the Killed Were
Horribly Disfigured. Every Bone in the Engi-
neer’s Body Was Crushed—Number of Persons
Injured.
Scranton, Pa., Nov. 14.—Philadel-
phia and Reading engine, No. 453,
drawing a train of empty coal cars,
which passed through this city at mid:
night, blew up at Conners crossing,
near Schuylkill Haven, at 2 o'clock
this morning killing five men, injuring
several others, tearing up the tracks,
dismantling the locomotive and hurl-
ing the machinery for miles around.
Following are the names of the dead :
William Cowley, engineer.
William Moyer, fireman.
Harry Allison, engineer.
William Kendrick, conductor.
William Mackey, fireman.
Michael Dobbins, a brakeman, was
badly injured.
The engine had just finished making
a shift, and coupled up to a train. The
moment the steam was applied the ex-
plosion followed. Cowley was hurled
against rocks and every hone in his
body was crushed. Moyer was hurled
100 yards away into a field. The oth-
ers lay near the wreck.
A large crowd gathered from the
surrounding country and assisted in
getting together the remains of the
| trainmen, whose bodies were horribly
disfigured.
Cowley and Moyer belonged to an-
other crew, and were deadheading it
home to Palo Alto. o The others be-
longed to the engine that exploded.
Republican Campaign Literature Has
Not Yet Been Paid For.
NEw York, Nov. 14.-—Deputy
| Skeriff Young to-day received an at-
tachment for $19,923 against the Brodix
Publishing Company of New York and
| Washington in favor of Reuben Free-
man & Bros., printers, for work done
and materials furnished. The printing
was done for the Republican national
campaign committee. The Brodix Com-
pany it 1s said sublet the contract to
Freeman & Bros. for $25,000 ; and the
latter firm has received but $6,000 on
account of the work done and have at-
tached for the balance claimed to be
due. The sheriff served the attachment
on a number of persons, including Cor-
nelius N. Bliss, treasurer of the Repub-
lican national campaign committee.
——*"Richard and his Sweetheart
| Nell,"song and chorus, quarto, sent free
‘ to any address by Studebaker Bros. Mfg,
Co., South Bend, Ind., on receipt of
stamp to cover postage and mailing.
The verses relate the story of a drive
taken by Richard and Nell. The title
page has an elegant picture, specially
designed by the artist, Gray-Parker,
showing Richard and his sweetheart
about starting out on their memorable
drive. The words, of course, consti-
tute a love story, The share in it of
the Studebakers is merely incidental.
The melody is delightful, and was com-
posed for the words by the well known
musical writer, W. F. Sudds.
Knights of Labor Meet.
Sr. Louis, November 15.—The six-
teenth annual meeting of the general
assembly of the Knights of Labor went
into session this morning. The conven-
tion was called to order by Grand Mas-
ter T. V. Powderly and the committee
on credentials immediately presented
their report. The consideration of this
report consumed all the morning session
and other preliminary proceedings will
follow before the real work of the
session. Committees were appointed on
distribution, appeals, state of order, co-
operation and secret work.

Von Caprivi Will Resign.
The Army Bill's Defeat Will be the Signal.
BERLIN, Nov. 12.—The Army bill
has been passed by the Bundesrath with-
out alteration, except for a few verbal
changes in the preamble. Chancellor
Caprivi will introduce it in the Reich-
stag on the 24th inst., and if itis de-
feated he will resign. The Emperor is
not an enthusiastic adherent of the pro-
ject. His Majesty is credited, while
giving his final assent to it, with re-
marking to the Chancellor. “You risk
much over this.”
The members of the Reichstag and
Landtag, who are now gathering here,
concur in reporting that their constit-
uents dislike the prospect of increased
taxation for army purposes, though
they are willing to agree to thetwo
years’ service provision: In view of
the Chancellor's shaky position, the po-
iqtical groups are already discussing the
luestion of who will be his successor.

The Judge Orders His Release Which Stirs up
the People of Merchantsville.
PrrLapeLraIiA, Nov, 18.—The good
people of Merchantsville, New Jersey,
are in arms because of the acquittal,
yesterday, in Camden of Francis Lingo,
colored, the alleged murder of Mrs.
Annie Miller. Their anger knows no
bounds, and 18 intermingled with fear
that some one else may be murdered in
that vicinity, and the perpetrator go un-
punished. The wives and dsughters of
of the well-to-do residents, and they are:
numerous, actually dread to leave their
homes alone for fear that something
might happen them.
As soon as it was learned yesterday
afternoon that Lingo was a free man,
threats of lynching him, should he re-
turn to the community, were freely
made, and to-day these expressions grew
in earnestness and volume.

contest Pennsylvania democrats had con-
tributed most largely tothe campaign
