A bill lina been introduced in the
Btato Bcimto appropriating 4,000 to
pay tho txpoiisca of tho inauguration
of Gov. Beaver. It did not cost tho
Btato a penny to Inaugurate Gov. Paul

1h troubled with a new thought over
mo numerous strikes anil chances in

were when the hours wcro shorter and

Secretary Manning has tendered his
resignation to tho President, to tako
effect on tho appointment of his sue'
cessor. He will nccept tho Presidency
of a New York hank, where tho labors
will bo lichter and tho compensation
better. It is known that tho President
parts with Secretary Manning very re
luctantly. Tho Prohibition amendment resolu
tion has passed both branches of tho
legislature and been signed by tho cov
ernor. If it is agreed to by tho next
legislature two years hence, it will then
be submitted to a voto of tho people at
the lall election in 188D, Tho repub
lican party has thus promptly kept its
promise as a bit ot buncombe tor lass.

A bill introduced in tho Legislature
proposes a radical change in the jury
Bystem by giving to two thirds of tho
lury the power to acquit or convict
The change from the present law, which
requires a uimmous verdict, would be
a good one, but it should be made
threo-forths in civil suits, and remain
as it is, in criminal cases. Lite and
personal liberty are entitled to tho
greatest porsiblo protection, and unless

A QEEAT MISTAKE.
After naming several different Dem
ocrats for the office of Mayor, all of
whom declined, tho Democrats of Phil
adelphia took np an expediency candi
date in the person of Georgo DeB.
Kcim. He is a Republican, and has
held the office, of Sheriff, to which he
was elected by that party. He has
long been identified with tho Repnbli
licau ring in that city. His campaign
was moving along briskly, and it began
to look as though his chances of elec
tion were good, when on Friday last
there appeared in several city papers a
copy of an agreement made in 1882
between Keim and W. El wood Rowan
to the effect that if Rowan would sup
port Keim in his candidacy for Sheriff,
lie (Keim) would pay to Rowan one
half the salary of the office daring the
term. There was a witness to the
agreement, who says it is genuine. Mr.
Keim denied it, but took no legal steps
towards anyone. It was generally be
lieved to be genuine, and this fact was
what caused Keira's overwhelming de
feat on Tuesday.
If the Democratic party cannot suc
ceed without nominating Republicans
to office it bad better bo defeated. The
Philadelphia Democrats might have
known that something of a corrupt
character would be brought to light
against any ring Republican they
might nominate. The majority of Fit
lcr, Republican, is thirty thousand,
which makes it evident that a great
many Democrats did not vote.
Trade Dollars Called.
I'ASSAOE OF THE BILL RETIRING THEM AT
FAR VALUE.
The house Saturday, by a vote of
174 to 3ti. passed the trado dollar bill
It provides in its first section that for a
period of six months after the passage
of this act, the trade dollars, if not do
faced, mutilated or stamped, shall be
received at their face valuo in payment
of all dues to tho United States, and
shall not again be paid out or in any
other manner issued
Section two provides that during tho
above ptriod tho holder of trado dollars
not mutilated, deiaced or stamped,
may receive in exchange on presenta
tion of the same at tho treasury or sub
treasury, a like amount aud value, dol
lar for dollar, in standaid silver dollars
or in subsidiary silver coins, at the
option of tho holder.
Section three directs that the trade
dollars received by the government in
payment of dues or in exchange shall
not be paid out, Lut shall bo recoined
into standard silver dollars or subsi
diary coin at the discretion of the sec
retary of the treasury, provided that
tho coinage of trade dollars recoined
under this act shall not be considered
ns part of the silver bullion required to
be purchased aud coined into standard
dollars, as required by the act of Feb
ruary 28, lain.
Section four rencals all laws author.
izing tho coinage and issuance of trade
dollars. Mr. Scott (Pa.) favored the
passage of the bill and made tho closing
spsech. Mr. Uurtin (Pa.) took the
broad ground that trade dollars must,
in justice ond honor, bo redeemed bv
the government. Mr. Randall (Pa.')
thought that the principle iuvolved in
the bill was ona of common honesty.
He had lived long enough to get rid ot
some cf his apprehensions as to silver.
Tlio Mexican Pensions Act.
The Commissioner of Pensions lm-
lud prepared a letter of instructions
and blank forms of application and
affidavits of witnesses for tho use of
applicants for pensions under tho Mexi
can pension law of .Tunnnrv 91 1HH7
These blanks, ho thinks, will facilitate
tno business ot his olhce and enabh
applicants to have their rights prompt
iy adjudicated without unnecessary
correspondence, trouble or expense.
Tho Commissioner expects to havo tho
blanks printed nnd ready for use on
Wednesday. Feiirnarv in it,.
invites direct application to his office
by exDeotant pensioners. Upon receipt
of an individual application no appro
priate letter of instruction and set of
blanks will ho forwarded to tho appli
cant. The letters of Instruction aro
full and explicit aud tho blank forms
plain, and all may bo easily understood
without the necessity of a legal education.
Tho Venilon Bhauie Upon Soldiers
Thcro wero about' 1,000,000 men of
nil sorts on the army roll when the
lato civil wnr cloned, nnd thero havo
been hied 940,577 applications for pon
8ion under existing laws, of which 677,-
810 havo been granted. Tho total en
rolment of volunteer nnd regular troops
of all colors during tho on tiro war was
2,864,712, ono-third of whom wcro en
listed twico nnd many thrco times, and
another largo t taction was mado up ot
bounty-jumpers, shirks, deserters, camp
followers nnd general dead-beats. This
last fraction is represented almost to a
man in tho list of pension applicants.
Hnd thu President approved tho De
pendent Soldiers bill, it would hnvo
involved untold million', as it invited
a declaration of pauperism from every
one who is too iillo to work; nnd tho
bill now pending in tho Senate remov
ing tho limitation for pension nrronrf),
would have been pending in the Sen
ate removing tho limitation lor pension
arrears, would havo been passed nnd
necessarily approved, by which other
incaiuuniuiu millions wuuiii nuvu ut'en
added to our pension payments. Had
theso bills been enacted, tho annual
pension appropriations would havo
been swelled to $150,000,000, or one
half of tho wholo cost of maintaining
tho government.
The pension roll, with theso bills en
acted ns laws, including tho lately -approved
Mexican pension measure would
bo equal to a national debt of $5,000,
000,000, taking tho present rate of in
terest paid on tho national debt, or
nearly double tho largest debt tho nv
tion ever incurred during tho war to
sunnress tho rebellion. Havt tho hon

to count the cost and to calculate the
tolerance of tax-payers, with such pen

the country T
President Cleveland has rescuod tho
honest veterans of tho Republio from
ineffaceable sbarao by his veto of tho
Dependent Pension bill, end uono can
now mistake tho positive publio senti
ment that sustains him. It is the one
just reproach upon our true soldiers
that they havo been silent under tho
systematic efforts of pension sharks
and army camp-followers to degrade
the noblest soldiery of tho world and
bankrupt tho nation, but thero can bo
no longer excuse for silence. Tho publio
press of the country has arrayed itself
almost as with ono voice against pen
sion profligacy and fraud, by the
hearty support of tho President's veto,
and when the partisan press is compell
ed to sustain the veto of a pension bill
by a President of opposing politics, it
is an admonition to tho honest soldiers
of the country that they will not fail
to respect. Tho pension shamo has
been removed from our heroic soldiery
by tho President, and the end of new
pension frauds has been readied at last.

Statistics as to Strikes-
OVF.n 100,000 PEOPLE NOW IDLE AS COM
PAREU WITH 47,200 THIS TIME LAST
TEAR.
Jiradstreet'a furnishes n new and
fairly accurate report of (1) leading
strikes begun in 188b and unsettled on
January 1st last . (2) all s'.rikes in tho
United States beguu during January,
1887, and (3) strikes announced during
the hrst three days ot February. It is
ascertained that the total number of
men on strike during January, 1887,
was about 78,000 against 47,200 in
January 188G. Inasmuch a-i 0,000
men have struck since January 31 last
the comparison becomes 87,000 on
strike since January 1, 1887, as com
pared with .47,200 in 188C. In addition
to this total of men out of work, it is
to bo noted that 16,300 workers in fac
tories, mills and elsewhere are idle be
causo of lack of work caused by strikes
of others. This points to 104,000 in
dustrial employes who have stopped
work since January 1, 1887, as com
pared with 47,200 for a like period in
188G. Ibere were eight strikes bosun
in 1880 carried over into the current
year. These involved 5,000 men.

there were begun over 90 strikes by
73,000 employes. Of theso 82 havo

WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Regular Correspondent.!
Washington. D. C, Feb. 13, 1887.
The eousatioo of the paet week on
Capitol Hill was tho Presidents veto of
one of the most reckless specimens of
legislation that was ever presented to
any Congress: "The Universal Pen
sion bill." Not that his action was a
surprise to those who have watched his
course in regard to pension matters, for
be has shown, on several occasions al
ready that he has the courago to do
his duty. But as Representative
Spriuger said, no man over filled tho
otlico of President before Mr. Cleveland
who would havo had the boldness to
veto such a bill which had passed both
nouses ot uongress by more than two
thirds majority, and which had so pow
erful a sentiment at the back of it.
Echoes of congratulations havo been
coining back to tho President from all
parts of tho country, aud he has heard
plenty of censure from tho mere parti
sans who havo learned to regard the
war as their personal legacy. But ho
will havo tho praise, approval nnd grati
tude of tho great mass of the peoplo of
all sections, tho tax paying civilian nnd
tho honest veternn, of "all true patriots
both of the North and South.
Tlio reading of the Piesident's mes
sago explaing his reasons for tho veto
commanded close attention from the
House of Representatives. Many Con
gressmen are now unable to say what
their future action will bo until they
havo heard from their constituents. It
is thought, however, that the bill could
not bo passed over tho veto, for many
members who voted for it havo been
surprised eiu:o at tho condemnation it
received irom peoplo among all parties.
Should this remarkable pension bill
become a law, it would give a iiensioii
to every ex Union soldier who can not
earn the sort of living ho would like
in other words, to every man who was
in tho federal army and is yet nlivo.
It would givo a pension to every drunk
ard and shiftless loafer who was in the
army for ninety days, oven if his disa
bility is due solely to his own vices. Jt
would givo a premium to medioanoy
and indolence, for nothing convinces n
man that ho is unablo to work like
showing him that he can livo without
it.
And then think of tho millions after
millions of tho peoples money that
such a bill would waste. It would
double tho pension burden of the
United State., making it $150,000,000
a year. It would mako the roll call of
pensioner larger than the Federal
army every was and four times ns
largo ns tho wholo standing army of
England.
Tho Republican members of Con
gress havo made but little comment
upon tho subject. Tlio veto mossago
seems to havo taken their breath. Rep.
Stalnecker, ot N. Y., thinks tho tries
sago is tho nblest state paper of Mr.
Cleveland's term. Said he, "It takes
up tho bill, section by section, and just
tears it to tattcrp. In stating his rea
sons for tho veto, ho btu built a fort
around him which it will be pretty
difficult to storm.''
A western conaresstnan, who was
speaking of tho President' courage
said, "my ndmiration for him was
never great until now, Ho his turned
his face against a sentiment bofnro
whioh all parties havo bowed, and if
ho is sustained by Congress, this inci
dent may bo the turning point of a
populnr reaction against tho abuso of
tho wholo pension business."
Another enthusiast over the Presi
dent's pluck said, "It is the greatest
and tho best thing that Cleveland ever
did. It required just such a mau as
he to put a firm foot down against a
Bystem of legislation which threatened
to swamp this Government. "Repre
sentative Oates of Alabama, remarked
that this veto would mako tho South
sclid again.
Indeed thero wai no limit to this
pension business nnd thero appeared to
bo nobody with courago enough to
say whoro it should stop of courso tho
President has not fixed a final limit to
this kind of pernicious legislation, but
ho has Bhown himself equal to tho situ
ation. Ho has drawn the attention of
tho country to tho abuso in Buch a way
that the people who pay taxes will bo
gin to think it over.
If ho had signed this Pauper Pension
bill, he would doubtless have been call
ed upon during tho year to sign a sup
plementary bill a bill pensioning all
men wha wanted to enlist in the Fed
eral army, but who wero physically tin
nblo or wero needed at home by do
pendent families. Why not T If all men
who enlisted, and who want more for
support than their present incomes, aro
entitled to pensions, why Bhonld not
all men be equally deserving of pen
sions who wanted to enlist and could
not!
Decides the Matter.
LOCAL PASSENOERS CANNOT TRAVEL ON
THROUGH TRAINS.
A railroad company is not obliged to
cany a local passenger on a through
train even if ho has n tioket to his des
tination. Such is the doctrine confirm
ed by the latest decision of the courts.
Judgo Furst has just had n case in Hun
tingdon county that brought tho ques
tion up. Tho plaintiff, who had a tick
et from Holidysburg to Barre, had rid
den as far as Tyrone, the last stop of
through trains before passing Barre,
and the contractors told him he must
either get off at Tyrone or pay fare to
the next stop, which was Petersburg,
several miles beyond Barre. The pas
senger refused to go or pay, and was
ejected. As he had ample notice that
the train did not stop at Barre, Judge
Furst ruled that the conductor did
right.
Intense Destitution in Newfoundland.
St. Johns. Feb. 14. News from tho
Northern parts of Newfoundland rep
resents things in a deplorable condi
tion. Tho Government has already
sent thousands of barrels of flour to
keep tho peoplo from starving, but tho
supply is altogether inadequate. The
most-Northerly ports are now frozen in
and it is impossible to send supplies
there in time to savo tho peoplo.
It was a most pitiful sight to witness
the scenes at many places at which the
coasting tt.amer Curlew stopped on
her fist trip North. Scores of peoplo
who had had nothing but codfish and
hard tack (and very little of that) to
subsist upon for months dragged them
selves across twenty to fif'.y miles of
barren rocks and wild wastes to where
the steamer stopped. They came in
hopes of getting supplies of flour,
molasses and pork, enough to keep
body and sonl together during the next
three months, but the steamers had no
supplies for them, and, dicouraged,
they started to return to their miser
able homes to suffer the pangs of
hunger and exhaustion added to the
rigors of a Newfoundland Winter. It
is truly said that tho island represents
to the world the most mournful spec
tacle and its peoplu aro the most miser
able of all English colonist'. Compar
ed with them the peoplo of Ireland arc
happy, contented and piosperous.

Dickinson Oollega la Oonrt.
Carlisle, Feb. 14. Tho mandamus
caso John M Hill, of Berwick, Pa.,
against tho Boird of faculty of Dick
insou Collego came up this afternoon
in tho Cumberland County Court for
trial. Tho history of the caso is about
as follows :
In the month of Novi rabor last a
number of students at this institution
created a riot on tho campus, caused
by tho hazing of n studcut named
Powell, and during that evening while
the faculty wcro in session stones wero
throwh in through tho windows.
Among the number of students who
wcro expelled was Mr. Hill, -vho is tho
prosecutor in this case and who is
charged with participating in the riot.
He was expelled from the institution
and now brings suit against the faculty
for leinstatemcnt.
Afier some time was consumed in
sell cting a jury, tho caso was opened
by Silas Stuart on tho part of Hill.
Tho first witness was Dr. John A. Mo
Cauley, president ot the institution,
who briefly stated in substance, that
Hill, with n number of other students
who are charged with stone-throwing
and riotous conduct, was in the crowd
acd did participate in the affair. On
the other hand Hill took the stand in
his own defense, and denied emphatic
ally that ho was present on that eveu
ing. Tho next witness was Professor
Whiting, and his testimony was in
substance similar to that of Dr. Mc
Cauley. Tho court-room was crowded, and
much interest is centered in the trial.
The caso will bo fought desperately by
Ex-Judgo Henderson, Ex-Judge Her
man and Ex Congressman Beltzboover
on tho part of the college, and Samuel
Hepburn, Jr., Professor Triokott (a
former member of Dickinson College
faculty), Silas Stuart and District At
torney Miller on the part of Hill. The
collego is closed, aud all the students,
either as witnesses or lookers-on, were
in the court-room.
CHaiiifc of Movinir Day.
A correspondent to an exchange makes
tho following suggestion: Now that the
Legislature is in session and will not con
vene again for two years, the timo is at
hand to have a law passed changing the
time for moving from the first of April to
the first of May. This can easily be done
by cxtcnaing all leases expiring April 1,
1887, by an enactment, for ono month to
May 1, 18S7, at the same rate and time
mentioned in tho lease. Tho moving day
will then no changed from cold or wet to
warm, dry weather, and give every house
keeper pleasant weather to clean and fix
up their house. In other places the first
of May is moving day, and why is it not so
in this State ?
