Republican “Silver” Icnonsistencies.
The clauses in the Republican State
platform relating to the silver question
contain a surprising number of incon-
sistencies and contradictions. It fav-
ors ‘the expansion of the circulating
medium of the country until the same
shall amount to $40 per capita of our
population,” and yet by the acts of the
Republican party in tinkering with sil-
ver, the SHERMAN act being prominent
among them, such a stringency in moo-
ey has been brought about that the
wheels of business have been almost
stopped. Of what avail would $40 per
capita be to the people it confidence is
80 destroyed as it has been by the sil-
ver purchasing law, that those who
have money are frightened into hoard-
ing it and thus deprive it of its circu-
lating capacity ? The stringency exists
not so much because there is not
enough money in the country, but be-
cause Republican silver tinkering has
brought on a monetary panic.
It is contended, and advanced as an
excuse for the SHErMAN law, that it
was passed to prevent the free coinage
of silver ; but if the latter was an evil
that was to be avoided. were pot a Re-
publican Congress and President capa-
ble of effecting that avoidance without
resorting to a measure that required
the purchase of unnecessary silver,
drove gold out of the country, exhaust
ed the reserve, and completely de-
ranged the financial situation? The
veto of & Republican President. should
have been sufficient to have rendered
unnecessary a resort to the ruinous
policy of buying silver in order to pre-
vent its free coinage. The excuse only
aggravates the offense.
The State platform re-iterates the
declaration of the Republican national
platform in favor of bi-metalism, but
the inconsistency is apparent in the
fact that Republican pclicy has done
more than any other agency in degrad-
ing the monetary character of silver
and placing itat a disadvantage in
comparieon with gold. Under Repub-
lican action silver has been virtually
demonetized, in order to prevent its
coinage, a measure of Republican de-
vising, was adopted which has dimin-
ished the chances of bi metalism by
bringing silver into disrepute as a dis-
turber of the monetary situation. The
SHERMAN act has given that useful
metal a black eye, as a circulating
medium, from which it can recover
only through the means of judicious,
and probably prolonged and doubtfu]
legislation. If a safe and beneficent
policy of bi-metalism shall be estab-
lished, it will not be due to anything
that the Republican party has done to
promote it, but it will have to be
brought about by Democratic legisla-
pernicious Republican silver laws have
been repealed.
——To-day, Friday, is your last
chance to register. Don’t let the day
go by without attending to this import-
ant duty.
——The Republicans have given up
all hope of making even a respectable
fight against Mr. Jorn Q. Mires for
Treasurer. Their own candidate turns
out to be so weak, among those who
know him best, that if they could
change their ticket and put CouLEY off,
it would be done. As itis they have
discovered that Mr. MiLEs, will, in ad-
dition to receiving the full Democratic
vote, poll a very large proportion of
the votes cast bv respectable Republi-
cans, and as a consequence, the politi-
cal goose that cackled so loud about
the time the Republican ticket was
put in the fleld has quieted down.
——It is really surprising the num-
ber of martyrs the Centre county
Republican organization does contain.
Now there is Mr. Comey, of Union
township, who allowed himself to be
put on the. ticket just for trading pur:
poses. Perhaps Le does'nt know it,
but the bosses here are very open in
their expressions of the way CoMLEY
will be traded.
——JonN Q. Mites is gathering
strength every day. There is lots of
fan in beirg on the winning side, so
follow his banner. MiLes is a strong
candidate, a sterling citizen and the
friend of everyone.
A New Departure at The Pennsylva-
nia State College.
The trustees of The Pennsylvania
State College, recognizing the demand
for mining engineers that would natur-
ally come from a State of such vast
mineral wealth as this one and koow-
ing themselves to have the direction of
the only distinctively State institution
in which higher education is the aim,
have added a course in mining engi-
neering to the already thorough curri-
culum of the College.
The idea of this College of the State
is to afford an opportunity for an
education in any branch a student may
elect. Its work in the last decade has
been almost phenomenal in its results
and if its future growth is as strong in
comparison the prospect for its taking
rank with the leading institutions of
learning in the country are bright.
M. C. InLsexg, C. E,, E,, M. Ph. D.,
for a long time head of the Colorado
School of Mines will have charge ot
the new department and he will be
assisted by Prof, H. H. Stock, late of
Lehigh University, and Professor
Horkivs, of the Arkansas geological
survey.
The prohibition ticket that was
put in the field by a few men over at
Green's drug store, the other day, isa
very respectable ticket so far as re—
spectability ‘goes. In fact there is
much more respectability about the
personal of the ticket than there will be
in the size of the vote that will be
cast for it in November next.
——From present appearances it
looks as if Wasa RUMBERGER'S com-
petitors for the position of Register
won’t know that they were running af-
ter the election is over, only by their
depleted pocket books and that “tired
political feeling” that is certain to
seize hold of them when the result is
announced.

The Storm Swept South.
: The Most Disastrous Storm in Years—Hundreds
of Lives Lost—Great Damage to Shipping—A
Hurricane Sweeps the South from the Gulf to
Maryland.
The storm last week was particular-
ly severe in the south. A dispatch
trom Columbia, S. C., says : The storm
of Sunday night and Monday morning
was one of the fiercest that ever swept
over South Carolina. Wires are down
in every direction and details are hard
to obtain.
the most severe in the southeastern an-
gle and least severe in the northwestern
angle. The damage at Beaufort, Port
Royal and neighboring low lands skirt-
ing the Atlantic coast was terrible, if
the reports are accurate. The rice
fields along the Savannah and its afflu-
ent streams were torn up by wind and
waters. Water was driven in from the
Atlantic and tides were unprecedented-
ly high in some places being eighteen
feet above mean high water mark.
ONE HUNDRED LIVES LOST.
Much rice cut and stacked was
swept away and uncut rice suffered
seriously. Sea Island cotton farms
were terribly washed up. Indefinite
reports received from Port Royal and
Beaufort make it apparent that the
storm did greater. damage there and
in that vicinity than elsewhere. One
report is to the effect that 100 lives
were lost at those two places and along
the Atlantic coast intervening. Most
of the loss was among the negroes,
who became frightened and in their
panic stayed in their houses too long
to make their escape. No message
can be gotten from Port Royal or
Beaufort. The storm continned for
about the same time all over the state.
And the only difference was in the
damage at each point. The damage
at Charleston was fully as great as
from the terrible cyclone of 1885.
THE LOSSES IN CHARLESTON,
The News and Courier estimates
losses in Charleston as follows: City
property $100,000; fertilizer works
$173,000; Charleston Mining Com-
pany $50,000 ; railroads $30,000 ; lead
works $12,000; wharves $250,000;
shipping $50,000 ; Ashley river bridge
$60,000 ; churches $60,000; private
property $200,000 ; miscellaneous $100,-
000 : total $1,111,500. The experience
of 1885 taught Charlestonians a lesson
and over $1,000,000 cyclone insurance
was held. This will greatly offset the
damage.
Six persons were killed and two in-
jured at Charleston and others are
missing. Rattlesnake Shoals -Light-
ship was completely wrecked. The
crew escaped. The Seminole and
Yemassee, of the Clyde Line steamers
are both due at Charleston and great
anxiety is felt.
SIX MEN COULD NOT BE SAVED.
The schooner Morris W. Child, from
Brunswick, lumber, was towed into
Charleston by a tug. The vessel is
much injured. This vessel passing
through wreckage and seeing six men
in the water with life preservers on.
They were barely alive. No assist
ance could be given them. The Nor-
wegian bark Skudseneau was towed in
Charleston quarantine damaged. She
is from the West Indies with logwood.
The schooner Nettie Shipman, Jack:
sonville for New York, laden with
lumber, is off Charleston bar with sev-
eral sails blown away. All buoys
marking the sonth channel entrance to
Charleston harbor are gone. All riv-
ers in the state are over the banks and
lowland crops are ruined. Corn looks
as if logs had been rolled overit. Cot-
ton is badly torn up. The damage to
crops amounts to several hundred
thousand dollars. Every town in the
state suffered damage, shade trees be-
ing blown down and roofs injured.
Columbia hes ro telegraphic commu-
nication with the outside world.
The storm that devastated the south
along the Atlantic sea-board last week
was one of the most destructive known.
It started in the West Indies and swept
a path of death and desolation from
Florida to Maryland. In fact the tail
end of it was felt here quite effectually.
Hundreds of lives were lost in the lar-
ger southern cities where buildings
were unroofed and blown over.
A CAT SOIC
Another Pension Scheme.
A Bill Providing Disability Benefits for Gov
ernment Employes.
WasH]NGTON, Sept. 4.—A bill has
been prepared and will be introduced in
the senate and house simultaneously,
granting disability pension to govern-
ment employes, and providing compen-
sition for injuries received in line of
duty.
The latter item of the measure grew
out of the late Ford theatre disaster,
which directed attention to the whole
subject.
The bill provides pensions for govern-
ment employes injured while in the ser-
vice, or retired with honorable record
through sickness or old age or other
disability. after twenty years service. _
Widows and minor children of em-
ployes killed while in the service of the
government shall also be pensioned.
Generally the pension shall be half
salary or wages received by employes.
In case of disability or accident, an em-
ploye shall be carried on the roll at the
rate he was receiving at the time of the
accident and be re-instated when he re-
covers.
Train Robbers Blow Up A Car,
St. Louis, Sept. 5.—Train No. 8 of
the St. Louis and San Francisco Rail-
road, which left St. Louis at 8:25 this
evening, was boarded by three robbers
about three miles east of Pacific at 9 o’-
clock to-night.
The express messanger refused to obey
the command to open the door,and a
charge of dynamite was exploded
against the side of the car, badly wreck-
ing it, and when 1t reached Pacific it
was in flames. No money was secured.

Pensions.
Commissioner Lochren Issues an Order Modify-
ing the Practice of the Office.
Commissioner Lochren, of the Pen:
| sion Bureau, has issued an order modi-
' fying the practice of the offic as to sus-
| pensions of pensions. The most impor-
| tant change is that which directs that
. hereafter there will be no suspensions
| except in cases where the record shows
i on its face that the soldier was not en-
! titled to any pension whatever. It is
| believed, however, that the number who
will come under this class will bz very
small. The order reads as follows :
In the re-examination of all cases al-
June 27, 1890, the practice of the bu-
reau is hereby changed and modified as
follows : First, where it appears prima
facie on the face of the papers that the
pensioner was not entitled to any rating
the payment of the pension shall be at
once suspended ard the pensioner notified
that he will be dropped sixty days from
such notice, unless he shall in the mean
time flle competent evidence showing his
right to a pension.
Sccond—Where on the face of the
papers 1t appears that the pensioner is
entitled to a less rate than he is now re-
ceiving, he shall be notified that his
pension will be reduced to such less rate
unless within sixty days from such no-
his right to a higher rating.
Third—W here it appears on the face
of the papers that the pensioner had
been allowed a pension under a prior
law, and that he is not entitled under
the Act of June 27, 1890, to any higher
rate of pension than was allowed un-
der such prior law, he shall be notified
that his pension under the Act ot June
27, 1890, will be dropped and his pen-
sion under such prior law restored, un-
less within sixty days from such notice
he shall file competent evidence that he
is entitled to a higher rate than was
ranted by his pension under such prior
aw.
Fourth—Every notice shall inform
the pensioner that upon his application
to the Commissioner he will be imme-
diately ordered for examination by a
local medical board, to enable him to
obtain the necessary evidenceto show
his right to a pension.
Fifth—When any pensioner shall
have complied with the requirements of
such notice, and furnished evidence
tending to support his claim to be con-
tinued on the rolls the case shall at once
be a ‘special case,” and be prompt-
ly adjudicated. There will be no
preliminary suspension in any case
hereafter except as provided in the ffrst
sub-division of this order.
In speaking of this new order to-day
Commissioner Lochren said: “The
Secretary has for some time questioned
the fairness of the old practice of the
Pension Bureau, which suspends pen-
sions during inquiry as to the right of
a pensioner to the pension rate
he was receiving. At his request the
whole matter has been carefully consid-
ered and the present order modifying
that practice, so as not to suspend in
doubtful cases, has been agreed to as
more equitable.
“During the progress of the exami-
nation of cases under the Act of June
27,1890, a larger number of pensioners
were found liable to suspension under
the old practice than had been anticipa-
ted and cases were found where persons
have been suspended where disabilities
have increased since the date of being
pencsioned and who are now entitled to
remain on the rolls. In every instance,
as soon as these cases were called to the
attention of the bureau, the correction
was promptly made; but it was feared
that the suspension might work hardship
by preventing the payment of pensions
to those who at the present time were
legally entitled to the same, though they
were not at the time the pension was
granted.”
How Emin Died.
The African Explorer Killed and Eaten by
Cannibals.
Loxpon, Sept. 5.—Rev. Mr. Swann,
a missionary who has just returned from
Ujiji, on the east shore of Lake Tan-
ganyka, says it is impossible to doubt
honestly that Emin Pasha is dead.
“The most circumstantial reports reach-
ed me from four independent sources,”
said Mr. Swann, “and all agreed as to
the details. The Arabs everywhere in
Africa are rejoicing over his death.”
According to the reports received by
Mr. Swann, Emin had arrived at the
residence of Seyd Bin Abed, in the
country of the Manyemas, in the eas-
tern part of the Congo State. A party
of Arabs approached and asked Emin :
“Where are you going ?”’
“To the coast,” was Emin’s reply.
The leader of the Arabs, who was arm-
ed with a scimiter, then stepped up to
him and said : “You are Emin Pasha,
who killed the Arabs at Nyanza.”
Without waiting for an answer he
struck off Emin’s head with the scimiter.
Emin’s body was thrown to the Man-
yemas, who ate it. Subsequently the
Manyemas, murdered Emin’s Nubian
followers and ate them.
Mr. Swann says that these details
kave been so often repeated that Ujiji,
nobedy has the slightest doubt as to
their correctness.
Cleveland at Work.
The President is Perfectly Well and is Doing
Great Labor.
‘WasHINGgTON, D. C., Sept. 6. —Presi-
dent Cleveland is working as bard as
ever. He was at his desk until nearly
midnight, Friday night, and returned
to it yesterday morning after a very
early breakfast, and stuck to it all day
long, except when he came down to the
Blue room to receive the formal farewell
visit of the retiring Chinese minister,
who is going home in official disgrace
and in peril of physical decapitation.
The ex-Chinese minister, who was ac-
companied by Secretary Gresham, pre-
sented his letter of recall, which was in
Chinese. The president smiled as he
glanced at it, and handed it back, and
then the formal speeches were exchanged
with the aid of an interpreter.
Dr. Bryant, who is the guest of the
resident, tells everybody he tees that
Bir. Cleveland is perfectly well. Dr.
Bryant is understood to be attending
Mrs. Cleveland, and not the presi-
dent.
lowed under Section 2 of the Act of
tice he shall file competent evidence of
A Republican Lagacy.
When Cleveland retired
. Presidency on the 4th of March, 1889,
‘the surplus revenues in the Treasury
amounted to $65,000,000, exclusive of
i the $100,000,000 gold reserve and the
55,000,000 of trust fund for redemp-
tion of bank notes.
{ When Harrison retired from the
| Presidency on the 4th of March, 1803,
the $65,000,000 of surplus had been
{ expended ; the $35,000,000 of bank
redemption fund had been covered into
the Treasury and expended, and the
i Treasury was literally bankrupt—ex
, cluding the $100,000,000 of gold reserve
—to the amount of over $30,000 000.
True, the Treasury books did not
proclaim that the Treasury was some
$30,000,000 bankrupt ; but it was none
the less the truth. In order to keep
up the false semblance of solvency, the
subsidiary coin, thatis valueléss for
the payment of government debts, and
the deposits of disbursing officers—
that is, debts dune and for which re
quisition had been made and the
money transmitted—were all counted
as assets, and millions of dollars al-
ready appropriated to public improve-
ments and due and payable, were
withheld by the Secretary of the
Treasury.
One of the last official acts of Secre-
tary Foster was his refusal to sign a
warraut for over $2,000.000, long over-
due, because he had not the money to
pay it ; and, setting aside the $100,
000,000 gold reserve for the redemption
of green backs, and taking the availa-
ble assets of the Treasury and the
claims against the government then
due and payable under Congressibnal
appropriations, Secretary Carlisle was
given the Treasury over $30,000,000
bankrupt. In short, President Harri
son received the Treasury from Presi-
dent Cleveland with a surplus of
$65,000,000 and $55,000,000 of bank
redemption fund, making $120,000,000
of surplus ; and in four years, balane-
ing the books on precisely the same
basis, the Treasury was handed back
to Cleveland $30,000,000 bankrupt.
There is no peril to the national
credit, It can stand all the present
strain upon it and even more; but
prompt and decisive action is called
for. With the highest tariff taxes ever
levied upon the people in time of
peace, the deficit for the present fiscal
year—ending on the 30th of next June
—may reach $50,000,000. Few nation-
al expenditures can be reduced. The
increase all came from the Fifty-first
Congress, when President Harrison had
both branches of Congress in political
harmony with his administration.
That Congress passed enormous per-
manent increase in expenditures which
were not felt until the next Congress
had to provide for them. The last
Congress, when the House was Demo:
cratic, reduced expenditures where it
was possible, even to the extent of
provoking criticism for its ‘‘cheese-pare-
ing” policy, and it added little or
nothing to the absolutely necessary
appropriations ; but we have bank-
ruptey simply because the Fifty-first
Congress fastened permanent expendi-
tures upon the Treasury which it
cannot now pay.— Philadelphia Times.

A Brother of the Great Napoleon
Bonaparte Dead.
The Closing Years of His Life Were Passed
Quietly—He Was Much Liked and Sought
After in Society.
WasniNaroN, Sept. 5.—For about
eight years past Colonel Bonaparte,
whoee death in Massachusetts was yes-
terday announced, had made his home
in Washington. His house 18 one of
the most elegantly furnished in Wash-
ington. It is filled with relics of the
house of Napoleon, paintings and
busts, besides a number of personal
heirlooms of the distinguished line.
Colonel Bonaparte’s family «consisted
of Madam Bonaparte, daughter, Miss
Bonaparte, who made her entrance into
Washington society about two years
ago, and his son, Jerome, named for
his father. Young Jerome was for the
past year a student of Georgetown
University. The closing’ years o! Colo-
nel Bonaparte’s life were passed quietly
here with his club and his circle of
many. friends, who might easily have
been more had he so willed it. While
an exceedingly dignified man he was
no austere, and was much liked and
sought after in society. But there was
a certain reserve, even towards his
intimate friends which was seldom
removed.
His habits were exceedingly regular
and grew the more so with bisadvanc-
ing years. Hie regular program for the
day was a stroll through the parks and
avenues of the city after a light break:
fast, ending his walk at the Metropoli-
tan club about 10.30 or 11, after which
he chatted with the older men until
luncheon, after which he again
returned to the club in the evening for
a quiet game of chess, of which he was
very fond, and a constant, though not
a brilliant player. He was a great
lover of horses and a good whip, and
was often seen in the winters, previous
to last vear, in Washington with Miss
Bonaparte in a high T cart.
Every spring, with the exception of
the last one, he had visited France,
where he had large interests. His
summers were generally spent in New-
port. This year he leased his house
in Newport to Sir Julian Paunceforte,
and himself retired to the quiet of
Pride's Crossing in Massachusetts. He
had been looking badly for some time,
showing symptoms of Bright's disease,
and 'was very despondent.

The Blue-Coated@ Veterans Have In-
fested the Hoosier Capital.
Indianapolis Is in a Blaze of Patriotic Glory
and Her Streets Have Resounded With the
Tread of Marching Men—The Great Parade
of Veterans Was the Feature of Yesterday.
INpraNapoLs, Sept. 5.—The blue-
coated veterans have captured Indian-
apolis, but the capitulation of the Hoo-
sier capital has been a peaceable and
voluntary one, unaccompanied by the
roaring of artillery, except that em-
ployed in bidding the invaders welcome.
They have come until the streets and
byways are filled with them ; until all
the public and private places of enter-
tainment have as many as they can ac-
commodate, while the great barracks,
erected especially for this occasion,
with a capacity of nearly 50,000, have
no vacant places under their hospita-
ble roofs, and cots in every room in
every public school house and hall in
the city, and white tents in every park
and vacant lot, are doing their share
to provide for the comfort of those who
are the city’s guest for these days. In
every arrangement that has been made
for the entertainment of theee visitors,
in every expression of good will to-
ward them, there is an unwritten “If
you dov’t see what you want ask for
it” that is calculated to make them
feel that they are in the hands of their
friends and those who would do them
honor. .
BLAZE OF PATRIOTIC DECORATION.
Indianapolis is in a blaze of patriotic
decoration. Her streets have resound-
ed for forty-eight hours with the tread
of the marching men and music, some
of the latter of a doubtful eharacter as
to harmooy and tone. One delegation
after another from all parts of the Un-
ion have tollowed each other from the
station, under the escort of local guards,
to the places assigned for them to stay.
So weil have the arrangements been
planned, so skillfully and effectively
executed, that there is no disorder and
no great confusion, There are inform-
ation bureaus on every corner down
town, and hundreds of extra police are
on hand to tell the veterans anything
they want to koow and help them to
their barracks if they need help.
Since yesterday morning the trains,
extra and special, that came into the
city have been laden down with mem-
bers of the G. A. R. and their friends.
Every railroad running into the city
has had more passengers than it could
conveniently carry. The crowd from
the eastern states is the greatest, for
low railroad rates have enabled them
to come both to the national encamp-
ment and the World's fair. Next Fri-
day and Saturday there promises to be
such an exodus from here to the White

GREAT PARADE OF VETERANS.
The great parade of the veterans
was the feature to-day. Tt was the
largest ever witnessed in this city, and
probably never excelled on any other
occasion of this kind. The weather
was of the “made-to-order” variety,
cool and pleasant, with a light breeze
blowing, and the sun partially ob-
scured by clouds. The great column
began forming early in the day at the
corner of Meridian and Seventh streets,
with the various detatchments extend.
ing many blocks on all the adjoining
streets. The line of march was down
Meridian street to New York, west to
Pennsylvania, south to Market, east to
New Jersey, south to Washington,
past the reviewing stand fronting the
court house to Tennessee avenue,
where it was dismissed.
The veterans from Illinois, by virtue
of seniority, had the right of line. The
various departments followed the nsual
order, their progress being marked by
the cheering of the multitude ot
spectators along the crowded thorough-
fares. The well-known leaders of the
Grand Army of the Republic received
a coutinuous ovation. All of the de-
partments made an excellent showing,
and the Pennsylvania veterans were
everywhere greeted with hearty ap-
plause as they marched along. The
scenes at the reviewing stand were
unusually brilliant, and a dense throng
of people gave a hearty greeting to the
boys in blue.
DISPLAY OF FIREWORKS.
The festivities will be continued this
evening, and will include a magnificent
display of fireworks on the grounds
south of the Institute for the Deaf and
Damb. The encampment will be
formally opened to-morrow morning in
Tomlinson hall.
Captain Adams was elected Com-
mander-in Chiet, and Pittsbugg named
