Beer Wald Terms 2.00 A Year,in Advance Bellefonte, Pa., Jan. Il, 1895. P. GRAY MEEK, - - - Mather Impertinent. It does not become Germany to get on her ear about the American tariff. It is but little short of impertinence, for her to be angry about the fiscal regulations of another country, for it has been her custom to regulate her tariffs without regard to the interests of her neighbors. No European gov- ernment has been more disposed #o adopt a “protective” policy, and if the United States sees fit to be equally il- liberal she at least has no right to complain. The new American tariff is far less restrictive than the old one, the duties on many articles of importation being considerably reduced. The German authorities should recognize this fact and be thankful for it. Even the duty on manufactured sugar—the dif: ferential duty as it is called—which is the particular subject of their com- plaint, is much less than it was, and it is because the American government chooses to retain a duty which inter- feres with the importation of German beet sugar, the Germans propose to exclude American products from their markets. If there was special dis- crimination against them they would have reason to complain, but as all imported sugar is treated alike by the Ameriean tariff, the complaint of the Germans is more than unreasonable ; it borders closely on impudence. At best tariff restriction is a poor policy, its effect being rather to injure than to promote commercial interests, but Germany should be the last to com- plain about it when practiced by other countries. “Thomas F. Riley. The retirement of associate Judge TroMmas F. RiLey, of Harris township, which was formally made last Monday morning. when his successor BENgastIN RicH, of Unionville, took the oath of office was an occasion of more than passing moment to the people of Centre county. which was characterized by the greatest fidelity to the responsibility imposed upon him as one of the judges of our county, he has retired to the private vocation from whieh the people called him in 1889. His failure of re-election last Fall was far from being caused by any short comings on his part. Like many another good man he went down before the Republican tidal wave that swept the country and no stigma attaches itself from such a defeat. = Ex-judge RiLEY held the esteem of the people of the county and the dignity with which he conducted himself at all times is a matter of pride to the Democratic par- ty that urged his election. ——The baths that have been fitted up in the lavatory department of the remodeled capitol at Harrisburg are spoken of as perfect ideals of marble splendor. No expense has been spared in material and ornamentation, result- ing in the perfection of oriental luxu- riousness. The tax-payers may ques- tion the necessity for this expendi- ture of the public money, but they should know that as the Legislature becomes more Republican the more occasion there is for having it washed. But it is doubtful if even with all these expensive bathing appliances it can be kept clean, ——The result of electing the right man to office is seen in the condition in which collector Hugh S. Taylor, of Bellefonte, has his tax duplicate for 1894, He will have cleared every- thing up by February first and has already returned $33,000 on his dupli- cate of $48,000. The exonerations he will ask council to make will be very small indeed, and the fact that his work will be completed by February first just, six months after the receipt of the duplicate, is evidence that will make the tax payers of Bellefonte real- ize that they have chosen a good man for the place. ——1It is beginning to look as if the 49th judicial district is in a pre- dicament as to a judge to preside over the orphan’s court and the court of oyer and terminer. The election last fall proclaimed only to elect a judge of the court of common pleas and as such Hon. JomN G. Love took oath on Monday, but there being no provision for the other vacancies it is not known exactly what can be done. —Investigations encourage the con- clusion that the Turks have made away with 22,000 Armenians during the last nine years. At such a rate over popu- lated countries might look up the Sul- tan’s receipt for getting ri of an over stock of people. After = service of five years, Phey Began to Expect it In Their In- fancy. It will doubtless seem untimely for «a discussion of the tariff to begin at this time so remote from the national {campaign that will be opened in 1896, | but EprTor' a circular we received the other day suggested the matter to us lin a such a convincing way thst we cannot resist the temptation to bring it before our readers at least. The Republicans, in their glee over the victory of last fall, claim that the Democratic party is dead, which we of course’ deny admitting, however, that the situation is not exactly as we would like to have it. Whatever our condition may be we are cognizant of the fact that when the next presidential campaign opens the Republicans will take up the cry of protection to Ameri- can industries again. Notwithstand- ing it proved their shibboleth in 1892 they are so firmly achored to McKex- LEYIsM that it would be foolish to ex- pect anything else from them next year. These same fellows who have been crying for protection for years will be atit again. It isthe personal greas ing they are after and not the common good. No class of manufacturers has been better cared for by the govern- ment than the iron men, though this is not surprising when it is known how early they organized for protection. We have before us an old circular bearing date of Feb. 14th, 1842, in which the iron manufacturers of Penn- sylvania set forth their claims to a liberal greasing. It was sent to us by Mr. E. I. GiLuiLaNxp of Pottersdale and we append it as a his- torical relic which will encourage tar- iff discussion Circular. Harrisburg, February 14, 1842. The undersigned, believing that you fcel an interest in procuring an augmentation of du- ties upon foreign coal and iron, at the present session of Congress, earnestly ask your at- tendance at the Coal and Irom Convention which will be holden at Harrisburg on the 22d of February instant. The subject of a revision of the Tariff will soon be urged in Congress, and at such a time it is important that the interests of coal and iron should be properly represented. We are persuaded that a free interchange of opinion among the friends of protecting American labor—a collection of facts—concert of action—and above all, united and vigorous effort, is necessary to prevent the two great staples of Pennsylvania from being prostrated by a reduction of duties, upon all foreign arti- cles to 20 per cent, ad. valorem on the first day of June next. You are respectfully requesied to bring or transmit such facts as you are able to collect in reference to Coal and Iron in your vicinity. Such as the number of furnaces, forges, {| bloomeries, rolling mills and coal mines: the number of tons of iron made in each furnace and forge, and the quantity of coal ‘mined in the collieries : the number of men employed : the pumber of horses : the number of bushels of wheat and other grain consumed at the {ron-works and Mines: the value of agricu}- tural produce, of all kinds, and also of mer- <chandise purchased.

Avrsaxy, N.Y., Jan. 8.—Workmen to day continued excavation work at the scene of the Delavan hotel ruins. So far ten bodies, or rather what re: mained of them, have been uncovered. Two were removed from the ruins yes- terday and five to-day. The three other bodies uncovered could not be removed to-day before darkness on account of the pile of debris which covered them. The three last bodies found were more intact than those al. ready uncovered. All of the bodies were unearthed in the cellar directly under the aitic, where the victims of the fire are supposed to have quarter- ed. Three of the bodies were near mattresses when found, showing that the persons were asleep when they met death. The only remains with which recog- nition was attempted was inthe case of those of a woman. It was claimed to be the body of either Agnes Wilson or Miss Ray Young, both of Buffalo. An inquiry into the cause of the'fire was commenced to-night by the board of fire commissioners. Defeat Probable. A Poor Chance for the Carlisle Bill Passing the House. WasHINGTON, Jan, 8.—There was a good deal of quiet but earnest work to- ay on the part of the opponents of the Carlisle banking bill, with a view to encompassing its defeat when an opportunity offers. This opportunity may be presented to-morrow, when the committee on rules will report an or- der fixing debate under the five min- utes rule until Friday on which day a vote will be taken. When this reso- lution is reported it is the intention of the opposition to antagonize it and move to strike out the enacting clause of the Carlisle bill, It is feared by the friends of the measure that this motion will carry and that the bill will thus be lost with- out further delay. lt is asserted by those who have canvassed the situa- tion thoroughly that the bill will be defeated by a major'ty ranging trom 25 to 40. Democrats Not Discouraged. Defeat Cannot Dampen the Enthusiasm of the Unterrified. Great Jackson Day Banquet. Given by the Yonng Men's Democratic Associa- tion at Philadelphia Last Night. Congress man William I. Wilson, of West Virginia, and Benton McMillin, of Tennessee, Were in At tendance— William F. Harrity Called the Din- ner to Order. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 8.—With the shadow of a great party defeat over- hanging them the members of the Young Men’s Democratic association held their fifteenth annual banquet at St. George’s hall to night in honor of Jackson and his victory over the British at New Orleans during the war of 1812. Although defeat at the poll had been the party’s fate there was no evidence of discouragement or despair shown by the members of the association and their guests in the speeches when coffee had been reached on the menu. On the contrary, as if to show their faith in their party’s principles, the members turned out in force and the dinner was the largest and most success- ful ever held by the association. Every Democratic politician of any note in the city was present and the party leaders from nearly every county in the State traveled to Philadelphia to testify by their presence that they were as loyal in defeat as in victory. Vice President Stevenson was to have been present and respond to a toast, but owing to the seri- ous illness of his daughter he could not attend. Letters of regret were also re- ceived from President Cleveland, all the members of his cabinet and ex-Gover- nor Russell, of Massachusetts. Though deprived of the presence of the vice president, several of the party’s na- tional leaders were present, and when William #. Harrity, national chairman, called the dinner to order and sat down with Congressman William L. Wilson, of West Virginia, on his left, and Con- gressman Benton McMillin, of Tennes- see, upon his right, the two representa- tives were loudly cheered. Besides the two representatives, there were present United States Senator White, of Califor- nia; Assistant Secretary of War Doe, United States Treasurer W. E. Morgan, assistant to Director of the Mint Preston, and Congressman Isadore Strauss, of New York. . The first toast of the evening was “The Memory of Jackson,” drank standing. The other toasts were: “Moderate and Just Taxation Is the Best Achievement of Legislative Ac- tion,” Representative Wilson, of West Virginia; “Economy and Fidelity to Public Interests in Administration Should Be a Paramount Obligation of the Party,” Representative Benton K. McMillin, of Tennessee; “As Party Or- ganization Is the Controlling Force in National Legislation, the Preservation of Great Parties, Thoroughly Organized, 1s the Best Security for National Liber- ty,”” Senator White, of California. Addresses were also made by Deputy Attorney General James A. Stranahan and Dwight M. Lowrey. A Cure for All Ills. Pennsylvania Legislators Swamp the Tables With Numerous Bills.—Greatest Number on Record. —At No Other Session Were There So Many Measures Introduced in the House and Senate in One Day.— Their Name is Legion.— Blair County Committees. HARRISBURG, January 9.—The Penn- sylvania Legislature has beaten its previous records. Bills were intro- duced to-day by the different members in such numbers as to make the cotton bales at the battle of New Orleans pale into insignificance. Blair county was fortunate in being out of the grand rash. There were bills for every con- ceivable ill with which the taxpayer and the non-taxpayer is afflicted. In th: house sixty-four measures were in- troduced and 1n the senate twenty-two and the flood had only begun when the motion to adjourn was made. These bills are presumed to cure every imaginable ill as bas been stated, and include many which were introduced in the behalf of institutions now being conducted for the treatment of sickness and also where persous injured may be treated. The measures were all ap propriately referred. Penrose Beaten. Charles Warwick Nominated for Mayor of Phila- delphia. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 9.—City Solic- itor Charles F. Warwick was this morning nominated for mayor of Philadelphia by the Republican mayorality convention. The delegates were usually uproarious and the fol- lowers of State Senator Boise Penrose, who, at almost the last moment, was given the go by by the party leaders, stuck to him to the end. So pro- nounced were the Penrose people, who comprised about one-third of the dele- gates, that they refused to make the nomination of Mr. Warwick unani- mous. The vote was, Warwick 684, Penrose 233. In addition to the maycrality con- vention, twelve Republican candidates for police magistrates were nominated by a convention held in Industrial hall and Republican councilmanic nowmi- nees were chosen in each of the thirty- seven wards. No Cases of Starvation. WILKESBARRE, Pa. Jan. 8.—The starvation story sent out from here to t he effect that there is unusual distress and that miners are starving in not true, There are always cases of poverty in this region, as well as in other places, but the charitable organizations are well able to care for them. The miners have been working with accustomed regular- ity and there is now no more poverty than there has been for years in the past. There are no cases of starvation. An Escaped Murderer Captured. HARRISBURG, January T.—Johun Eis- minger, the murderer who escaped from the jail at Greensburg, has been captured at New Orleans and at the request of District Attorney Ross the governor this afternoon telegraphed the governor of Louisiana requesting him to waive the usual formality of a requisition, Slain by Thousands, Twenty two Thousand Armenians Destroyed Within Nineteen Years. BostoN, Mass, Jan. 8.—In refer- ence to the statement officially issued by the Turkish Leg:tion at Washing- ton that the total namber of Armenian subjects of Turkey was but 900,000 M. H. Cuelsian, Secretary of the United Friends of Armeuoia, of this city, has compiled statistics relating to Arme- pia from reports presented to the Ber- lin Congress in 1876. He states that according to the re- ports to the congress the total number of Armenians in Turkey was 3,000,000, distributed as follows: In Turkish Major Armenia, 1,330,000; in Arme- via Mioor, 670,000 ; in Asia Minor, 600,000 ; in Constantinople and Balkan peninsula, 400,000. In the District of the Vilayet of Diarbekir, where the magsacres were perpetrated, there were 180.000 Armenians, 160,000 Turks and 40.000 Kurds. The Russian Al- manac for 1887 estimates that there are 1,807,007 Armenians in Russia, 200,000 in Persia and 137,000 in Aus- tro Hungary, India. China, America, and Africa, a total number of 5,599,907 in the world. Mr. Guelsian asserts that if the statement of the Turkish Legation is correct, 2,100,000 Armenians have dis- appeared since 1876. He claims that the legation report is not correct and this deduction is not tenable. He states, however, that it is estimated by good authority that since 1876, 22,000 Armenians have been destroyed by Turks and Kurds. The Currency Bill WASHINGTON, January 9.—Mr. Dingley, of Maine, briefly explained the attitude of the Republicans toward the resolution regarding the further consideration of the currency bill after the vote had been taken. “We sim- ply wanted an opportunity to vote up- on the question of rehabilitating state banks. We asked that that be as- sured to us; it was refused and we turned in and killed the resolution. If that bad been assented to, we were willing to take the order and go ahead with the bill.” “Does that not practically dispose of the bill 2” “Mr. Springer can call it up at any time" said Mr. Dingley, “and go ahead with it, if he deems it wise. But the probabilities are that the majority against the bill is greater than that disclosed against the rule.” They Went to Jail. CHICAGO, January 8—Eugene V. Debs and other officers and directors of the American Railway union, went to the Cook county jail to-day to be- gin serving the sentences recently im- posed on them for contempt of court. There was no formal procedure. Dur- ing the day the men dropped in one by one and surrendered themselves to the marshal. The appeal to the supreme court will be presented the latter part of this week, being now in course of prepara- tion. The chances are the prison- ers will be obliged to remain in jail for at least two weeks before the court can be heard from. Unless the decis- ion at that time is favorable they will have to serve out their terms. and Their Onward March. The Japanese LonpoN, January 8.—A dispatch to the Central News from Shanghai says that reports have been received from New Chwang stating that during the assault of the Japanese upon Soumen Chang the town wae set on fire and destroyed, rendering 10,000 people homeless, in a temperature of forty degrees below the freezing point. The Japanese are cutting off the retreat of the 15,000 Chinese soldiers com- manded by General Sung, and the Tao- tai of New Chwang, fearing desertions, has ordered that all soldiers who at- tempt torun away shall immediately be shot. Left the Executive Mansion. HARRISBURG, January 9.—Mrs. Pat- tison took final leave of the executive mansion to-day to take up her residence at Overbrook in the new home which has just been completed for the retiring Governor. Owing to a severe attack of rheumatism she was compelled to leave the city at this time. She was accom- panied by her sister, Mrs. Butler of Philadelphia ; Master Robert, her only son, and her maid. Coxey Turned Down. WASHINGTON, January 8.—After the hearing betore the house ways and means committee to-day in support of his good roads and non-interest bear- ing bonds bills to-day, General J. S. Coxey called upon Senator Voorhees. chairman of the senate finance com- mittee, to request a hearing on the game proposition, but was told the committee could not go into the mat- ter. ‘The Cabinet Dinner.

To Inaugurate Hastings. HARRISBURG, January 8.— About twenty clubs have already eecured quarters for the inaugural parade and arrangements are going forward for the demoustration. Miss Stevenson's Condition. AsmeviLLe, N. C. Jan. 3.—Miss Stevenson’s condition remains about the same as it was yesterday. Carlisle is Sorry. . WASHINGTON, January 9.—The sec- retary of the treasury was at the capitol this afternoon. He expressed his regret at the action of the house to-day, but does not despair of some financial legis- lation still passing the house. He sug- gested that it would be better not to move in the matter again for a few days, but that the intervening time be occu- pied by the friends of the bill in consul- tation with the silver men and other Democrats who opposed it to-day with a view to agreeing to some comprises which will meet or partially meet their objections. Mr. Springer, of Illinois, said that there was no probability of an- other caucus being held to consider the financial question. All has been done and the best that Le can hope for now is, to quote his own words, ‘to grope about in the darkness for a ray of light.” Bishop McGovern Will Act. HARRISBURG, Pa., January 9.—Bish- , op McGovern of the Harrisburg dio- cese of the Catholic church, will issue a circular shortly forbidding all Catholics ; to join the societies of Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias or Sons of .Temper- ance, and admonishing those who now belong to withdraw.

He gets the landlord to cash a check for him which is later returned protested. His game is to open a letter in the hotel office and take therefrom a check which he shows to the proprietor as having been sent on his expense account. The unsuspecting hotel man cashes it and is stuck of course. ——G. W. Shafer, a son of Mr. George Shafer of Madisonburg, this county, was killed at Joplin, Mo. last Saturday.

Myer’s ballot-ma- chine was published under the title ot “Voting by Machinery.” More than a page is devoted to it and the writer thinks “No one but a man whose pur- suit had been the planning of burglar- proof safes for bank vaults and the ex- act situation for them could have de- vised the invention.” In the districts in New York, Michigan and New Jersey in which it is in use, it has given per- fect satisfuction and we congratulate Mr, Myers, who is personally known to all the older people in the town, on his success and thank him for putting an honest accurate method of voting Witkw) in the reach of the American people. ——The bad weather last Sunday caused the postponement of the laying of the corner stone of the new Evangeli- cal church building at Woodward.

Af- ter a brief western trip Mr. and Mrs. McCafferty will return to Bradford, occupying rooms on Mechanic street until their new home is completed. It will be a pleasure to his friends here to know that he has won the affec- tion of a most estimable young woman and we, who knew him when he was a boy, are sure that he merits all the hap- piness that a propitious marriage insures. Tar ORDER OF HEPTASOPHS BAN- QUET.— Last Friday night the Brocker- hoff house dining rooms were the scene of another fete of unusual brilliancy. Bellefonte conclave 111 Improved Or- der of Heptasophs with their ladies and friends were banqueting there and from 9 o’cleck until 2 a. m. they made merry over the board.
