The Monroo Democrat is urging tho
nnmp of tho lion. Samuel S. Drulicr,
iircsidont jiulco of tho counties of
Monroo and Cnibon, for tho noininn
tlon for Governor of tlio Stnte.
Hon. John 1$. Storm of Monroo
county, who represented Wayno for
two terms In Congress vliun wo were
in tho old district, is a candidate for
tho Democratic! Congressional nomina
tion in tho Eleventh district. Judge
Harry K. Packer, of Carbon, it is said,
has aspirations in tho samo direction.
Tho assessment of pages and labor
ers at Washington by tho Congrossion
nl Republican Committee, for campaign
purposes is now explained as a mistake,
f ho samo mistake has been made for
many years, but it was not discovered
until now, when the system is denounced
on tho floor of tho Senate.
Judge Trunkoy has positively do-
cuneu 10 do a oauumaio lor governor.
Ina letter written to a committee ap
pointed by tho Democratic convention

Michael Davitt.thc great land leaguer
arrived in Now York on tho steamer
Germanic last Saturday. IIb will lect
ure through tho country. Tho object
of his visit is twofold. First, to con
tradict tho rumors of a split in the
Land League movement, or the likeli
hood of there being a difference be
tween Mr. Parnell and himself. Seo
ond, to explain tho work dono in Ire
land by tho Ladies' Land League, in
tho sustaining of evicted people, tho
building of houses, tho maintenance in
law courtB of the tenant's rights.
Tho Stalwart Convention reassem
bled at Ilarrisburg on Wednesday to
nominate a candidate for congressman-at-large.
There was a good deal of
speculation as to what would be done
thero being many members of tho old
Convention who refused to recognizo
tho call of the Stato committee to re
assemble it. Some thought a now
Convention should bo called to nomin
ato a full now ticket and thus harmon
ize tho party troubles; others thought
thero should be a now Convention to
nominate only a candidate for Congress-man-nt-large,
while others insisted on
filling tho ticket by tho old Convention
and fighting it out on that lino. This
last element prevailed and tho Conven
tion nominated Marriott Brosius, a
Lancaster lawyer of fair ability.
Tho Stalwart newspapers have been
proclaiming throughout tho Stato that
Senator Stewart had repeatedly asked
political favors of tho Camerons and
the men that represent him. His em
phatic denial is so sweeping that the
Stalwarts must make good their asser
tions or stand convicted of publishing
a false charge. Ho says:
Nover by myself or by another, by
uttered speech or wiitten word, have!
asked from (the Camcrous) either father
or son any favor or service, political or
otherwise.and I challenge them and their
dependents to prove tho contrary. So
that thero may bo no doubt about this
matter, I remove every restriction from
private conversation, if there bo any,
and ask only that witnesses shall speak
tho truth. Hcforo that Uaal I have
never bowed and never will.
Tho rank of Commodore, it seems, is
to bo abolished by the now Naval Ap
propriation bill. Let it be. The old
title is associated with all that is best
in our naval history. It was a rank
men reached by hard lighting and
tlw command of n squadron in open
action. Porter won it for himself when
the little Essex sailed in tho harbor
where Frelinghuysen's diplomacy lias
disgraced us, surrounded by tho fleet ot
pri.es ho had won and armed ; Perry
earned tho title in battle, and so did
Hull. Wherever two or three Ameri
can vessels were gathered together,
tho best of their class and kind tho
world over, there was an American
Commodore, first among sea kings.
Let tho title lapse, but revivo it when
wo again have navy. Admirals and
Vice-Admirals will do well enough for
the hulks wo have uaw.-J'ress.
During the Piesidental election of
1880, ono of the battle-cries of tho Re
publleanB, which thov sounded from
the Delaware to Lake Erie, was the fol
lowing :
"Elect Hancock, ami tho wages will co
down and there will bo general idleness.
J,ie,,1 llml '"-'Iter wages and steady
work will bo iisnured."
What a swindle upon a confiding
people. Hancock was not elected, but
Garfield wu, and what has been the
result! Have '-better wages" followed
his election 1 Has "stead v work" been
"assured'' to tho men in tlio iron mills
and elsewhere t Thero aro now an
hundred and fifty thousand men in
"general idleness," who did not reach
this pit'iablo condition by the election
of General Hancock. Tho roseate
times promised to follow tho election of
General Garfield hatu not come, but,
instead, stiikes for higher wages and
"general idleness" have. Tho Repub
licans cannot get rid of the logical ef
feet of their own proposition.

ently mentioned, and J. Simpson Africa
appears to have tho inside Hack lor the
ollico of Secretary of Internal Affairs.
There arc many suggestions as to Con
gressman at-large, and it is likely that
a number of names will be submitted
to the Convention. A ticket made up
from these gentlemen will bo a strong
ono, and if it receives anything like the
support of a united Democracy, it must
win. There have been no bosses to
dictate to tho party months in advance
who the candidates shall be, and who
ever are selected will bo tho represen
tatives of the Democratic party, and
not of any man or faction. It must bo
remembered that tho Independent-He
publican movement was not originated
for tho purposo of putting tho Demo
crats in power in tho State, nnd there
fore if wo win it must bo through our
own efforts, and not through any out
sido assistance. It will not do for Dem
ocrats to do as many of them did last
fall, namely, voto tho Independent
ticket or-not vote at all. Tho split in tho
opposition gives us a golden opportuni
ty that has not been ours for some
years, and if wo seize it, Pennsylvania
will bo rescued not only from tho con
trol of a dictator who has ruled witli a
rod of iron, but also from tho party
that has cringed like slaves before the
Cameron sceptre and permitted him to
pollnto tho politics of this common
wealth until she has become a by-word
all over the nation as tho seat of politi
cal corruption. Whether thero shall
bo a change or not depends now on the
wisdom of tho coming Convention.

The entire assessment fund upon of

to two million of dollars, as two per

dred and ten thousand parsons holding

Cameron has made an assessment of

large manufacturers in Pennsylvania.
The Bessemer Steel company have

TOR SUPREME JUDGE.
While thero havo been many sugges
tions as to the candidate to bo nomin
ated for Supreme Judge by tho Con
vention next week, thero isnoccitainty
as to who that candidate will bo. Al
most every county has its favorite.
Among all those mentioned we havo
not anywhere observed a uamo that for
many years has stood foremost among
tho judges of this State. Gcorgo Shars
wood of Philadelphia, present Chief
Justice, should bo given the nomination
unanimously. It is not necessary to
speak of his great ability, and tho fidel
ity with which ho has administered
tho law for a generation. Though
somewhat advanced in years, his men
tal powers remain unimpaired, and his
physical forces unabated. His name
would bo a tower of strength to tho
ticket, and Ids election an assured fact.
A Western Tornado.
A tornado swept through central
Iowa last Saturday night, from north
west to southeast fortwenty miles north
of Dos Moines. Tho town of Grinncll
was struck by it and half tho town loft
In ruins, including tho buildings ot
Uorncll College, i're.ght trains were
caudit in tho wind nnd lifted from tho
tracks. The loss of llfo was torrible,
Houses were destroyed along tho lino
of tho storm, and tho occupants buried
in tho debris.
Tho surgeons report that thirty-ono
are dead at Grinncll, nnd that five or
six more cannot live. Tlio numbor of
wounded exceeds ISO, nnd tho number
of houses destroyed is between MO and
160. Tho total loss of property is now
estimated nt $600,000. It is feared
that tho number of deaths at Grinnell
will reach soventy-fivc. News has been
received that Mr. James, wife and two
daughters, and two other persons living
four miles northwest of Grinncll aro
dead. It is now thought that the loss
ot lito outside ot Ormnell will reach
twenty-five, nnd tho total loss nearly
100.
Congressman Rayno of Allegheny
throw some hot shot among tho Stal
wart members of the House on Monday,
lie is ono of tho men whom Cameron
has determined to defeat for re-election,
because he has a mind of his own and
will not bo controlled by tho boss. Tho
question under discussion was a bill
providing that hereafter collectors of
internal revenuo shall bo appointed
every four Tears. The object of this
bill, ho said, was not to promoto tho
public service, but to promoto political
purposes. Until a very short timo it
had never been causo of complaiut that
officials who discharged their duties
faithfully and well should have a limit
put upon tlio tenure of their offices,
and no such law had been demanded
until within a comparatively recent
period, and, as ho must think and be
lieve, for no other purposo in the world
than to promote, not tho good of the
service, but purely political objects.
Tho reason given in tho report of tho
committee was to prevent controversy
about tho positions and to have tho of
ficers secure in their places. But who
dreamed that these ollicers were not
entirely secure in their positions until
tho incoming of tho present adminis
tration and its policy of proscription 1
Their positions and their tenure were
regarded as secure until this time. ''The
complaint is made," continued Mr.
Bayue, "and comes from many quarters
from political quarters and for politi
cal reasons only: 'Oh, theso men havo
held their positions for ten years and
for twelve years and for fifteen years
and for sixteen years and therefore
they should be removed.' But, sir, that
is tho argument of the politician. Why,
sir, the purposes of this bill contravene
the purposes of tho times and tho mean
ing of sound civil service. The pur
poso of this bill is to cnablo tho admin
istration to relievo itself of the em
barrassment of removing competent
officers at tho solicitation of political
spoilsmen and thoso who aro to uso
those ofhecs for their personal political
ends. Tho administration has encoun
tered embarrassment in tho removal of
competent and faithful officers. It has
met with opposition from the people. It
has met with protests that havo gone in
signed by thousands and thousands of
tho people of the various districts, be
cause faithful and good officers were
emoved, and for what reasoti ? The
people understand the reason. It was
to put in power aud place political
henchmen, that thoy might servo tho
powers that control this administration
through a kitchen Cabinet.
SORANTON CHASE LIBEL SUIT.
The second li ill of tho libel suit of
William Walker Scrauton against
Aaron Augustus Chase began on Mon
day of last week, at tho Court House,
Wilkes Ban e, Judge El well on tho
bench. Attorney-General Palmer and
Gen. W. H. McCartney appeared for
Mr. Scrauton, and W. S. McLean and
W. II. Ilinc, esqs., for Mr. Chase.
Monday was consumed in hearing tes
timony, and on Tuesday tho case was
argued. Mr. McLean, for tho dofeese,
made a veiy ingeuioiM nrgument, in
which he set forth that the word 'mur
der" was not intended to apply to Mr.
Scrauton personally, but to thoso who
were witli him on that memorable day
in Scrauton when Dunleavy and othern
wero killed. Gen. McCartnpy made
tho argument for tho plaintiff. Judge
h.lwcll occupied less than hour in his
cliargo to tho jury, and tho case was
given to them nt a little before four
o'clock. The jury reached a verdict in
about two hours, but as court had been
adjourned, they staled their verdict
aud it was presuuted on the follow ing
morniug. Tho plaintiff was awarded
SU41.3U. On theiust trial .Mr. Scrau
ton got S!3!l'r)8) so that by trying tho
caso a second time, lie lost &rJlb.U.
During the trial there was quite a largo
number ot personsinthecouitroom who
listened to the proceedings with appar
ent interest. Many lawyers were ulio
present.
FIREDAMP.
Tho sad disaster at tho Stanton shaft
on Thursday of list week was supple
mented by an expknion at tho Diamond
Minu on Saturday which, if not so fa
tal in character, is bad enough to
awaken Benom apprehensions concern
ing tho probable fato of at least (ivo of
the tight men injured. It appears that
about 2 o'clock Friday afternoon tho
gas in No. -I lift was ignited fiom an
open lamp, which was carried by a
miner, who was warned not to enter
tho place with it, which set fire
to tho brattice and timbers at once
Efforts wero made to put cut the fire
and at 4 o'clock next morning it was
supposed that the work had been suc
cessful. It appears, however, that
Bomo firo was still left in the rubbish,
and when the first shift of men went
down to work an explosion ocourod
wlnlo tho men wero cleaning up tho
wrecked timbers.
Tho men were provided with safety
lamps, but In turning over tho rubbish
a iet of firo was suddenly uncovered
aud this ignited a pocket of gas in a
cross-head, which exploded with teat liil
noiso. Four men wero buiied at this
time. Half an hour later another ex
plosion occurred , by which four other
men were injured. The names of these
burned nro as follows: Daniel 1
James, Aston Morgan, Robert Leuahan
Thomas R. Morgan, John Lovans
Morgan Williams, David Johns and
David P. Griffith In some instances
the skin upon the arms aud breasts o
tho injured men peeled off in strips
when their clothing was removed.
Tho mine is being flooded. It will
tako three weeks before tho water can
reach tho fire. Orders wero issuec
suspending work nt tlio Ilollcnback

tlio Diamond. Tho loss will bo ex
tensive.

Stalwarts will bo ono short.

The River and Harbor Plunder,
Tho river atid harbor bill which pass
d tho House on Saturday is a very
suggestive bit of legislation. It is tlio
joint product of six months ot log-roll
ing, engaged in by a host of conflicting
interests, which aro harmonious only in
ono thing, tho desire to get all of tho
money out of tho Treasury possible for
local nnd special interests. It recog
nizes in tliirtv-livo out of tho thirtv-
cight States inlets, creeks, oyster bays,
trout streams and frog ponds which
demand improvement at tho expense of
tho publio Treasury, and tho menibors
trom theso several btalcs havo pooled
their issues in the grab and nroposo to
push it through. Tho bill calls for
8 17,350,000 in round numbers, and the
House lias been making a gieat show
of virtue by refusing to amend it to
allow any increase of tho amounts
recommended by tho committee. But
any ono couversant with past legisla
tion upon this subject, together with
tho nature of a largo share of tho pro
posed improvements contemplated in
this bill, will not be misled by the
sham show of economy made by tho
House.
A comparison of the amounts appro
mated in former years and the rapid
ncrcaso of theso demands will do much
to reveal the size and enormitv ot tlio
job. In 1800-70 tho amount appro
priated in tins bill was less than 81,-
000,000 , in 1870-71 it was $1,100,000;
U11871 82, S5,fi5S,000: in 1872-73 it
was 5,193,000. During the Forty-
fourth Congress it was only $5,015,000
for two years, while last year it had
swelled to $11,000,000 and this year
it loots up over 5i7,uuu,000. At tho
present rato of increase it will require
$20,000,000 next year to satisfy tlio
demands of tho members who desire to
raiso tho waters in their respective dis
tracts sutncientiy to float them back
into their present scats. A striking
feature of theso improvement schemes
is tho fact that when once work is
commenced tho demands increase at a
fearful rate. Portland last yo.ir hud
$20,000, this year $110,01)0; iJaliimoro
last year $150,000, now $000,000;
Charleston last year $175,000, now
$750,000 ; Now 1 laven last year $00,
000, now $200,000 ; Cumberland Sound
last year $100,000, now $500,000 ;
Michigan City. last year $15,000, now
$170,000; Yellowstone river last year
$20,000, now $10J,000. Tho impiove
ments proposed nro in many instances
entirely of n local nnd special nature
and havu no national signilicanco what
ever, and why tho government should
spend millions of dollars to make im-
piovements which at best can benefit
but a few individuals is what the
people- would liko to understand.
Tho reasons offered by Mr. Horr and
others for this gigantio expenditure of
money are not at all satisfactory. To
say tho people do not want a reduction
of taxes and therefore thu money must
bo returned to them in tho form of lib-
oral appropriations for that which will
bo of little permanent benefit is simply
to offer an insult to their honesty and
intelligence. If our Congressmen and
Senators studied genuine statesmanship
more and selfish jobbery less they
would find a way to lighten tho peo
ple's burdens and economize in the gov
ernment expenditures which would bo
infinitely more to their credit than any
such sham excuses for wasteful extrav
agance. J'hila, Times.

Nv Youk, Juno 19,
Tlio Herald received to-night a de
spatch from W. II. Gilder, lato with
tho ltodgerB who sends an account
from Lena Delta, under date of April
12, concerning tho finding of the bo
dies of Do Long's party on March 3.
They wero in two places, five hundred
and ono thousand yards from tho wreck
of tho scow. Melville's search party
first started from tho supply depot to
follow Nindernian's routo from Uster-
day to Malvoy and afterward from
Malvoy back toward Ustcrday. They
stopped at tho place which Ninderman
nnd Noros passed tho first day after
thoy loft Do Long, feeling sure that the
others had not got much further. Thero
they found tho wreck, and following
along tho back thoy catno upon a riflo
barrell hung upon four sticks. Thov
set tho natives digging on each sido of
tho slicks, and they soon came upon
two bodies under eight foot of snow.
Whilo those men wero digging toward
tlio east Melville went on along the
bank twenty feet above the river to
hud a place to take bearings, lie then
saw a camp kettle and tho remains of
a firo about ono thousaud yards from
tho tent, and approaching, nearly stum
bled upon Do Long's baud sticking out
of tho snow, about thirty feet from tho
edgo of'tho bank. Here, under about
a foot of snow, they found tho bodies
of Do Long and Ambler about thirty
feet apart and Ah Sam lying at their
feet, all partially covered by pieces of
tent and a few pieces of blanket. All
tho others, except Alexia, they found
at tho place where the tent was pitched.
Lee and Knack wero close by in a
cleft in tho bank toward tho west. Two
boxes of records witli tlio medicine
ohest and a flag on a staff were beside
the tent. Nono of tho dead had boots.
Their feet wero covered witli rags tied
on. in the pockets ot all wero pieces
of burnt skiu and of tho clothing which
tney una been eating. Tho hands ot
all were more or less burned, and it
looked ns if, when dying, they had
crawled into the lire, Boyd lying over
tne nro and ins clothing being burned
through to tho skin, which was not
burned. Collins' face was covered with
a cloth.
All the bodies were carried to tho top
of a hill 300 feet high, about forty
versts to tho southwest from where
they wero found, and there interred in
a mausoleum constructed of wood from
the scow, built in tho form of a pyra
mid, twenty-two feet long and seven
lect high, surmounted by a cross 22
feet high and a foot square, hewn
out of drift-wood aud conspicuous at a
distance or twenty versts. The mau
soleum was covered with stones and is
to bo sodiied in tho spring. Tho oro-ss
is inscribed with tho record and names
of tho dead cut in by tho search party.
After completing tho tomb the party
seperatod to search the Delta for tracts
of Chipp's people. Melville went to
the northwest part of the Delta and
west as far as tho Olenek river, Nider
inan took tho centre and Bartlett tho
northe.'int.
Niilerinnn aud Bartlett found noth
ing. Melville has not yet returned,
the search is to bo extended to Cape
Borehiva aud thu bay of that name.
They i xpect to finish in time to reach
Yakul-k or Verkhoi'ansk before tho
rivers break up.

Mr. Mitchell says that there can be no
