BLOOMSBURG, PA.
FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1887.
Tho forty-ninth oongictR ended yoa
terday, nominally, but tlio lo'frinlativo
day extends until to-day at 12 o'clock.
Should a special session bo called, tho
fiftieth congress would assemble at
once.
A joint resolution proposing an
amendment to tho constitution, abol
ishing tho poll tax and requiring thirty
instead of sixty days residenco to en
title a citizen to a vote, has passed
second reading in tho stato senate.
If 1887 holds out as it has begun, it
will present one of tho most remark
able records for ranrdets, firea, mining
aocidcntB, railroad disasters, and other
crimes and casualties over known.
Among tho latest reports is tho loss of
a Chinese junk bound from Hainan to
CI! . I L 1 A 1
slam, on wnion ncany six uuuurea
persons perished.
Every newspaper in Philadelphia
including the 1'ress which is rccogniz'
ed as the leading republican paper in
the state, opposed the Dependent Pen
sion bill, and commended tho Presi
dent's veto. Many Grand Army posts
added their protests to tho passage of
tho bill, and numerous bravo soldiers
expressed their approval of tho Presi
dent's action. Tho criticism in last
week's Republican, in which disloyal
motives aro charged as the animui
that prompted tho veto, does not tally
with tho expressions of approval from
prominent republican sources all over
the country.
William H. Douty, of Shamokin,
writes to the Philadelphia 1'ress as
follows': "I believo thcro could bo
tanks of water so arranged in passwi
ger and sleeeping coaches on all rail
roads that would prevent hro in caso
of accidents, each as you aro compelled
to chronicle bo frequently. My idea
would be to have tanks of water of
sufficient capacity placed in each car,
one directly over and the othor under
the stove, so arranged with valves that
by simply pulling a rope tho valves
wonld open, or when tho cars left tho
track tho valves to bo so arranged that
tboy would open automatically and
Hood tbo lire, no matter in what, posi
tion the oars would be, these tanks to
have direct connection with tho stoves.
I believo this would be a safer plan for
the traveling public, than to use live
steam from the engine, for this reason
live steam tnat might escape from a
broken pipe in case of an accident
would be almost as bad as fire itself."
In December last, the appointment
or lit. T. S. JJabney, ot JLouisiana, as
a medical examiner in the Pension
Bureau, Washington, created some ex
citement in the old soldier world. The
Goodspeed Post, No. 205, G. A. R., of
Kansas, charged that Dr. Dabney had
been a Confederate guard at Anderson
ville, and they protested against the
appointment "as an insult to every loyal
man and ex-soldier of tho Union array,"
and asked that it be rovoked. Tho
resolution was sent to ihe President
and General Black, Commissioner of
Pensions. When General Black in
vestigated this serious charge, he found
tbat lit. Dabney was born in Missis
sippi; was not eleven years old when
tbo war broke out; that he had never
served In any army; was never at An
dersonville in his life.and was appointed
after a brilliant Civil Service examina
tion. Ibese tacts, sustained by prool,
General Black sent to the Goodspeed
Post, which immediately struok its col
ors. If our G. A. R. comrades will be
a little more careful of their denuncia
tions, in future, and find out tho truth
before they "pitch in," they will
strengthen their case always. They
sbculd remember, likewise, that others.
besides themselves, have a tender care
for tho honor of tho ex-Boldjers, and

The Provisions of the Proposed Lipuor Bill
Tho Liquor License bill reported to
tbe House contains nearly all tho esseiv
tial provisions and restrictions asked
for by the advocates of high license
and will deny many concessions asked
by tbe state Liquor League. 1 no hub
Committee on Liquor Liceuso of the
Ways and Means Committee have
practically finished their work of pre
paring a new bill out of the eiiiht that
have been referred to them. The new
bill, has tho Brooks Iligh-licenso bill
as a basis, but still contains important
modifications. The entire sections of
the Brooks bill fixing the amount of
license feo are stricken out and for
them are substituted tho sections of the
Murray bill, which fix the taxes in
cities of the firt second and third class.
es (Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Alio
ebony), at 8500 ; for all other cities
and borouchs at 8300, and in townshipi
at SI 50. In Philadelphia one-fifth of
tbe feo is to go to the State and four
tilths to the city, la cities ot tho sec
ond and third class, one-fifth to the
State, two fifths to the city and two
fifths to the county. In all other cities
and boroughs, one-fifth to tho State,
one-fifth to tho city or borough, and
three-tilths to tbe county, in the town
ships, one-fourth to the State, one
fourth to tbe county, and ono half to
tho townships for publio roads.
Tho provision of the Brooks bill giv
ing courts exclusive power to graut
and regulate licenses is so changed as
to retain the present system of grant-
ins and repealing licenses tbat now
obtains in tho different counties. Tho
requirements that a saloon Bhall have
bedrooms and must bo on the ground
floor without screens or stained gloss
windows are also stricken out. Tho
nlb'davit accompanying the application
for liceuso is mado not by the applicant
but by two bondsmen, neither of whom
must be encased in tbe sale ot vinous,
spirituous, malt or brewed liquors. To
tho application must bo a certificate
sworn to aud signed by twelve eiec
tors ; ucne can sign moro than ono cer-
tibcate. Tho cortihcato sets fourth

juents in his pe'.ition aro true. In tho
petition tho applicant must state name
resilience auu utu'ruy, uuu wueu aim
where naturalized, place for which
license is desired, name of owner of
premises (a provision agaioet which the
Liquor League remonstrated) and that
the applicant is interfiled in no other
place.
Various other provisions of tbo
Brooks bill to which the Liquor League
objected are retained. All saloons
must be closed between midnight and
0 in the moruing.
THE COLUMBIAN AND
A More Heeded Change.
Tho constitutional amondmcnt now
before Congress, proposing to chango
tho tlmo for tho inauguration of Presl.
dents to April SOtli, extending tho
term of tho present incumbent to that
dato in 1889, is urged mainly upon
sentimental or other trivial grounds.
It. is not a sufficient reason for making
this chango that tho social revellers at
Inauguration balls somotimcs tako cold
on on Inolcmcnt 4th of March, or that
Washington accidentally took tho oath
on Aprlf 80th, nor oven that tho short
session of Congress would thereby bo
extended.
A chanco that is much moro needed
is ono that has been rejected by the
Coramitteo, providing that Congress
shall assemblo in tho month following
tho election of Representatives, instead
of thirteen months nflorwards, as now.
Tho present arrangement was suitablo
and oven necessary in tho United
States of a hundred years ago, before
tho days of railroads or tho tciegrapn,
when tho returns of elections came in
slowly, nnd journeys to tho capital
wore mado on horsouacic or Dy singo
coach. But it is wholly unnecessary
and in a measure subversive of iho re
publican idea, in tho Union of to-day,
when tho result ot national elections
is commonly known tho day after they
occur, and tho Representatives from
the Pacific coast can reach Washington
in n week.
Congress should represent tho will
of the people upon tho issues of tho
hour. But under tho la t which pro
vides for tho assembling of that body
in December of tho year following the
election tho impulso of tho voting is
often lost, and tho issues are greatly
changed, between the voting and tho
meeting. Worse than this, a discred
ited and rojeotcd Home may now go
back in niuonlh after tho elections and
legislate for thieo months in defiance
ef tho people's will tho now Congress
not getting a chanco to reflect that will
lor ni no months alter tho oia ono na-
lourns.
This is an anomaly anu a wrong in
our system which should be corrected.

The Forty-Nip A Congress
Tho record of tho Forty-ninth Con-
. . i i i :
green, instead ot ueing a uau uuu, ia,
considering the facts that its two
branches aro not in political harmony,
an ocneciallv (rood one. It was left by
the remissness of its predecessors so
much reform work to do, tbat it could
not possibly get successfully through
with ii all. A larce share has, how
ever, been accomplished, as will fully
appear from tho following resume or
its principal achievements as collated
by the New York Herald:
"At its first session it passed first, a
Presidential succession lawj second, a
law relieving the merchant marine of
number of vexatious and useless
burdens; third, a law for a new Con
gressional library; fourth, a law reduc
ing tho feo on postal money orders;
fifth, several laws torieiung unoarnea

City million acres of land to tho pub

the inter-state commerce law; tenth,
tho law allotting lauds in severalty to
Indians; eleventh, the anti-polygamy
law: twelfth, a law oxten ling the free
delivery system to cities of ten thou
sand inhabitants, and thirteenth, the
act of redeeming trade dollars, it is
nrobablo that before it dissolves next
Friday several other, important meas
ures will be passed as tne oim reso
lution for an inquiry into the Pacific
railroad accounts and the repeal of the
Tenure of Ofhce act
The Democratic end of it was ready
for much more good work, particularly
in the lino of laud reform, restricting
tho growing power of corporations and
recovering the peaplos acres unlaw
fnllv held by sundry railroad monopo
lies, but was checkmated by the mill
ionaires and corporation attorneys of
the Republican Senate. Hero agaiu
the JTerald, this time through its
Washington correspondent, gives us a
list, which is both interesting and in
structive, as follows:
First These Senators have managed
to kill tho bill for tho repeal ot the
Pre-emption Timber (Jultnro and
Desert Land laws laws which, while
thev stand, work against the honest
settler and in favor of corporations,
syndicates and land grabbers.
beoond The senators have hung up
and killed a iioiiso b'll lor tbe taxation
of railroad lands and to compel land
grant roads to tako their patents.
Third Theso Republican Senators
have, by delays and amendments, killed
the House bill forfaiting iho unearned
land graut of the Northern Pacifio rail
road.
Fourth They have hung up and
thus killed the House billforfeiting
the land grant of tho Gulf and Ship
island corporation.
Fifth They havo killed, by adding
an improper and unjust amendment in
tended to detest it, tho House bin tor.
feiting 800,000 acres of the Ontanngon
and lirule Hiver grant.
sixth They havo killed a verv no.
ceBaary House bill for the re-adjustment
of railaoad land grants in Kansas and
other states this by substituting a dif
ferent and wrong measure for the
Hone bill.
When the account oomes to bo finally
made up and balanced, it will be found
that the Forty-Ninth Congress, under
the spur of a Domooratio President
and Democratic House, has boen a first
rate. Congress, all things considered,
and the chief reason for its not having
been better is the existence of a Re
publican majority in tho Senate whioh,
fortunately, is being rapidly wiped out.
WASHINGTON LETTEB
From our Regular Correspondent,)
Washington. D. O., Feb. 23, 1887.
The defeated Pension bill, the Cabi
net succession, the chango of Inaugur
ation day, the new President of the
Senato and tho probable extra session
of the Senato are tho matters that have
been most talked about hero during tho
paBt week.
Tho President is anxious to avoid
asking the Senate to remain in session
after tho fourth of March, but when
asked whether he would be ready to
submit tho important nominations upoii
which he desired its action in timo to
obviato such a necessity, he replied
that it was impossible for him (o tell.
The Interstate Commerce nomina
tions havo given him much perplexity,
nnd now tho question has boen raised
as to his Constitutional right to ap
point to a newly created ofhco which
is to be filled by aud with the advise
and content of the Senate, while tho
Senate is not in session. It is held by
certain Senators that tho power by
which tho President fills vacancies
which havo ocoured during a vacation
cannot bo applied to the filling of a
newly made oilice.
It seems that Mr. White, ex-president
of Cornell University and ex
Minister to Berlin, was muob annoyed
that tho correspondence between tho
Prosldont and hfmsolf in rolatlon to his
taking a plaoo on tho Interstate Com-
mission should havo been mado known
to tho publio. He says tho Presidont
merely wrote him a letter asking if his
namo could bo considered in making
up tho Commission. It is understood
thot Mr. White would really havo
liked to accent tho plaoo but was dis
suaded by friends on tho assumption
that tho Commissioners will fail to sat
isfy either the people or the railroads,
and that however nblo thoy nay be,
thoy must inevitably incur tho ohargo
of incompetency
On tho Republican sido ot mo son-
ato Chamber there aro four men each
of whom would do credit to a dimo
museum as tho living skeleton. Thoy
are Senators Ingalls, Sherman, Maliono
nnd Kvarls. Tho longest and lnnkost
of them all is tho gentleman from Kan
sas, who has just been sworn in as
president of tho Senato in place of
Mr. Sherman, tho next most attenuated
member of the quartette. Mr lugaus
is as stiff and studied as it is possible
to imagine, and upon taking tho vice-
resident s chair ho made a character
istic littlo speech in honor ot the ro-
tiring Senator with which ho (Mr.
Ingalls) looked well pleased, uegin
ning with n burst of modesty ho said
ho must iuevitably suffer disparage
ment by comparison with tho learning
and parliamentary skill ; tho urbanity
and accomplishments of his illustrious
predecessor, but he would sinvo 10
equal him in devotion to tho duty im
posed upon him, etc, wnion an oitiietn
promise.
Thcro was an exciting sceno in tho
House of Representatives on the day
that it voted to sustain tho Presi
dent's veto of tho Pauper Pension bill.
The galleries were crowded to thoir
utmost capacity with spectators who
listened eagerly to all that was said,
and took part in tho demonstrations of
approvol and disapproval.
Among tho noiabio speeches mauo
was ono by Gen. Bragg of Wisconsin,
wlio opened for tho Democratio side.
He began by saying that it was time
for the Members of tho Housp to get
out of tho roseato bubble in whioh they
lived in Washington, prepared tor
them by claim agents, and look after
tho interests of the real soldier. They
bad drifted along impeled by a species
oi sympathetic impulse, regardless of
reason or juugeuieiii, uuui tuu iwuuu
was reached whioh culminated in the
presentation nnd passago ot the most
scandalous bills which had ever been
sent to a President for signature. Tho
people of the country, without regard
to party, had every reason to bo thank-
i1.. r .t i-ii i..j i ..i a i.
IU1 mat, mm uiu uuu ueeu nuueu uu
foro an Executive who had backbone
enough to meet tho situation. Tho
General had proceeded but a short
time when Gen. Henderson, of Iowa,
hoping to excite him, inquired con
temptuously, "Do you stand by the
President ?" Mr. Bragg cooly replied
that no staff commissary could excite
bim, he was speaking for what ho con
sidered the soldier's interest.
The first fashionable season which
tho mistress of the White. Houho has
seen in her present p sition, closed a
week ago. Ono foaturo of it at least,
is worthy of note. Of the innumer
ablo printed and spoken comments
made respecting her, she herself says
there has not boen ono hyper-critical
remark that reaohed her. On the con
trary they havo been complimentary
and kindly in tho highest degree.
When it is remembered that Mrs.
Cleveland, without experience, entered
upon tho most difficult social duty that
a woman could attempt, and that she
is the youngest mistress that tho Presi-
- ... r , i J . .!
uenuai xuausion ever naa ; misuug
solely to her own womanly instincts,
good breeding and good heart, it is
not speaking too strongly to say tnat
her success has been really wondermi,

Washington, Feb. 27. A stampede,
and what promised to be a panic, oc
curred about 5:30 o'clock Saturday
evening, caused by tho outbreak of a
fire in the house end of the capitol.
While the hall was comfortably filled
with members smoke began coming up
from tho lower story, fast filling the
bouse floor and corridors almost to sat
focation. At this juncture there was a
great noise in tho west corridor, which
had every indication ot an explosion.
and it was thought that the boilers in
the basement had exploded. Sonio of
the members ran out to the piazza on
the east side, but thero were a few who
wcro possessed of presence ot mind,
and the speaker was cool. Messrs,
Holmao, Boutello, Brady, Weaver, of
Iowa; Lefevre, Breckonridge, of Ken
tucky, and a number of others fairly
flew irora the hall to the marble Bteps
on the east Bido without stopping in
the coat room for their hats or over
coats. Thoy remained outside in the
rain until they wero told that tho fire
was small and confined to tho folding
room on the floor below, where it was
under control by two engines, which
wero by this time playing upon the
flames. Tho noise in tbo corridor,
which was mistaken for an explosion,
was caused by the full of a great pile
of books which had been stacked for
shipment. The damage done by the
fire was small, and will not aggregate
S200. It was caused by the careless
handling of a candle, which set fire to
the paper.
An Immense Land Purchase-
Probably tho most extensivo private
land purchase ever mado in this country
was consummated in St. Louis a short
timo ago, and within a fow weeks all
necessary papers will bo prepared and a
toriual claim lor possession entered
While Texas was Btill a provinco of
tho Mexican Ropublio a certain Dr.
lieaies, an emigrant lrora England
married a native of Mexico, became a
citizen, and desiring to form a colony
npon tho frontier obtained from the
Moxican government an immenso grant
ni ianu, consisting ot ou,uim,UUU acres
known as the Arkansas grant, situated
HI what aro now the Mates ot Texas
Coloiado and tho Territory of Naw
Mexico. Just then tho war of Texas
independence, broke out and Dr. Healea
found it impossible to establish bis
colony. The grant was ronowed, how
ever, and the treaty of Guidaloupo
Hidalgo being eo framed as to protect
those holding grants from the Mexican
Government. lit. fieales retained pos
session ot bis land. Jseloru ho was
able to carry out his plan of forming a
colony he died, nnd the grant passed
to iiis minor children. They did not,
however, appreciate, the valuo of the
land and no part of it has ever been
Bold. JNow a company ot American
capitalist", Rufus Hatch being among
tho number, havo pbtalned tho title to
tho land from tho heirs, and will, it is
said, take possession in a Bhort time.
Tho grant covers a district In North,
western Texas, Northeastern New
Mexico and Southeastern Colorado,
embracing in all mora than 60,000,000
acres, but prior grants will reduce this
to about 50,000,000. Those Interested
in tho-purchase will not at present
make publio too exact boundaries.
DEMOCRAT. BLOOMSBTJRG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. I
The President Names Another Oolored'Hau
for Beoorder of Deeds,
Tho President on Monday sent to
tho Senato tho namo of James M.
Trotter to bq Recorder of Deeds in
tho District of Columbia in placo of
James O. Matthews, who was twioo re-
ectcd.
James Monroe Trottor is a colored
citizen of (ho Stato of Massachusetts,
nnd is in tho forty-eighth year of his
age. His oarly childhood was spent in
tho Stnto of Ohio, where ho began his
education in tho publio schools of that
State. For tho past thirty-flvo years
he has resided in Massr-chusctts, where,
prior to tho war, ho was n teacher.
Soon after the breaking out of tho re
bellion ho enlisted as a privato in tho
Fifty-fifth Massachusetts Regiment of
colored troops, nnd was promoted for
no'.s of bravery on tho battle-field until
ho becamo a liculennnt. Upon his ro
turn to civil lifo ho was appointed and
filled for elghtoen years bo position of
assistant superintendent of tho regis
tered letter department in the lioston
postollice. From this position ho was
retired in 1884 on account, it is said,
of his independence in politics and his
avowed purposo of supporting Presi
dent Cleveland. During tho campaign
of 1 88 1 ho was np pointed ono of tho
secretaries of tho committeo of ono
hundred of Boston nnd was active in
tho Bupport of tho nominees of tho
Democratio party.
It is Btated that ho was strongly ro-
commended by tho citizens and press
of Hydo Park, Mass., whero he resides,
for tho position ot postmaster ot that
place, and ho is Bald to bo regarded by
those who know him as n man of high
character and ability. Ho is tbo au
thor of a volume entitled, "Musio and
Mu-ical Peoplo of the Colored Race.'
The Pension Veto.
Tho President's veto of tbo Depen
dent Pension Bill is ono of those hon
est, courageous, independent, and
patriotic acts whioh aro very character
istic of the man. It seems, indeed, a
simplo duty for tho Executive to baffle
by the veto an outrageous raid upon
the Treasury ; but it is ono of which
very few Executives would have been
capable, in the face of great majorities
in both Houses ot (Jongross, and ot
tbe fear of both parties of alienating
"the soldier vote, lint the I'resident
shows clearly and firmly tho vagueness
and daugerous looseness with which
tho bill was drawn, and describes plain
ly but temperately tho pretences, false
hoods, and illicit devices of claim
agents, and justifies his veto to every
honorable mind. This is shown by the
generally favorablo tone of tho op
position press in discussing the mes
sage. Mere party spirit would havo
attacked tho President as heartlessly
indifferent to the brave soldiers of the
Union, and ns charging patriotic pen
sion applicants with dishonesty, and
as currying favor with ex-Confederates.
The Republican press in general, how
ever, and, as the Buffalo Exjiress
truly says, speaking for the people,
approves tho veto. But the New York
Tribune sneers that it ill becomes a
President who was eleotcd by rebel
votes to slur tho defenders of the
Union. This iB tho natural tone of an
unscrupulous partisan organ. But there
can bo few Republicans who read the
President's veto message, or the many
similar vetoes of individual claims
whoso oharacter wo exposed lant week,
who do not know that the 1'resident s
feeling toward tbe soldiers is that of
all loyal Union mon, and tbat the
characterization of voters in the South
ern States as rebels is merely a puerile
resourco ot partisan desperation.
In resisting this reckless assault up
on the Treasury the 1'rcsident recalls
Congress and tho country to reason,
and restrains tho thoughtless extrava
gance which is tho natural result of a
great surplus. He points out that the
bill departs from tho principle of pen
8ion bills for Uniou soldiers hitherto
in granting pensions merely for ser
vice, liut bo shows also that tho gen
eral impression is unfounded that thero
havo been heretofore no service pen
sion bills. In 1818, 1828, 1832, and
1871 there wcro such bills for service
in tbe itevolution and in tbo war of
1812, and tho Mexican pension bill
passed at this session of Congress is a
service bill, liut these bills wero pass
ed so long after tho service was render
ed, and presumptively for so few per
sons, that they oannot be held as pre
cedents for tho proposed legislation.
To show how vague aro all calculations
of the probable number of claimants
and of tbo amount to be paid, tbe
president mentions that when the law
of 1818 was passed tbo number of pen
sioners was computed to bo 874, and
the estimated expjnse was $40,000.
But the number of applicants proved
to bo 22,207, and thu amouut allowed
was 51,847,900 for 20,485 pensions,
In 1853 thero was a bill passed to pen.
sion tho widows of Revolutionary
soldiers who wero married after Jan
uary 1, 1800. It was supposed that
there wore about 800 of them, but the
number of pensions allowed was 3742.
Theso ligures sliow how entirely un
certain are tho estimates and cufcuhi
tious iu regard to theso bills. Tbe
President alludes plainly, as was his
duty, but in perteotly proper and mod
erate terms, to tho flagrant deception
and want of good faith in the proving
of claims by uonsion agents. Nothing
is moro notorious, in his recent biog
raphy of Thomas II. Benton, Mr. Theo
doro Roosevelt says of his hero : "Cer
tain of his speeches upon the different
land bounty aud pension bills, passed
nominally in tbo interests ot veterans,
but really through demagogy aud the
machinations of speoulatois, could be
read with profit by not a few Congress
men of the present timo. Ono of his
utterances was, 'I am a friond to old
soldiers, but not to old speculators."'
The President knows, of course, how
tho simplo performance of his duty up
on this subject may bo misrepresented,
and ho lustly takes caro to show (lis
tinctly bow fully ho share tho right
feeling of all good citizens for the
soldiers of tho Uuion. But he Btates
with equal distinctness and truthful
ness thu generous provision which
grateful nation has mado for its old
soldiers, and his belief that no worthy
old soldier asks to become, an object
ot moro chanty, Theso are his words j
"Believing this to bo tho proper in
terpretation of the bill, I cannot but
rcmoinbcr that the soldiers of our civil
war in their pay and bounty reoeived
such compensation for military service
as has never been received by soldiors
before since mankind first went to war;
that never beforo ou behalf of any
soldiers havo bo many and such gen
crous laws been passed to roliove
against tho incidonts of war ; that
statutes havo been passed glviug them
u prutereuuu in mi puuuu t'i((piuyiuuuis;
that tho real I v needy and homeless
Union soldiers of tho rebellion have
been to a large extent provided for at
soldier's homos, instituted and support
ed by tho government, whero they aro
maintained together, freo from the
senso of degradation which attaohes
lto tbo usual support of charity i and
tVftt never bofore in tho history of tho
country has it boon proposed to render
government aid toward tbo support of
any of its soldiers based a ono upon a
military service bo recent, nnd whero
age nnd ciroumstances appeared so
littlo to demand such aid. Hitherto
such relief lias been granted to sur
viving soldiors, fow in number, vener
able in ago, after a long lapso of timo
slnco their military service, nnd as n
parting benefaction tendered by n
grateful people. X cannot believo that
tho vast peaceful army of Union sold
iers, who havo contentedly resumed
thoir places in tho ordinary avocations
of life, cherish as sacred the memory
of patriotio service, or who, having
been disabled by tho casualties of war,
justly regard tho present pension roll,
on which appear their names, as a roll
of honor, desiro at this timo and in tho
present oxigenoy to bo confounded
with those who through such n bill as
this aro willing to be objects of simplo
charily, nnd to gain a placo upon the
pension roll through alleged depen
dence."
No intelligent nnd patriotio Ameri
can can mistnKO tho spirit aud moaning
of these words,or fail to sco in them tbo
ovidencc of an honest and fearless dis
charge of a high public duty. Tho
President's veto has but confirmed tho
confidence of tbo oountry in his up
right purpose, his firm resolution, and
his sturdy coramon-sonso. Harpers

County Jails.
The following is taken from tho
annual report of tho Board of Stato
CharitioB:
"Tho whole system of county jail,
as nt present conducted, wo believe,
merits tho most severe condemnation,
nor havo tho efforts of philanthropy
becu successful anywhere, that we
know of, in ridding of its inseparable
and gravo defects. Even in states
which havo been tho most progresswo
these ovils remain, so long as tbo com
mon county jail remains. Jt seems
impossible in fact, either to secure dis
ciplinary or reformatory trcatmont of
convicts, or proper separation of old
offenders from now offeuders, or women
from men, in the largo majority of
thinly-peopled, couuths. Thero aro
only about fourteen really good jails
iu our state. J1 the remaining hlty
tlireo a few, perhaps a dozen, aro toler
able, and the other forty-one aro bad
in administration, and tor tho most
part, in construction. For many years
men have clung to the bono that county
jails could be reformed, aud a few
have boen, but it is hopeless to expect
a general reformation.
"Language cannot desenbo tho vile-
ness ot some of these places. lo
those who wish to see the contrast be
tween a civilized prison and a reile of
dark ages we recommend a visit to
either of our Stato penitentiaries and
then to tho Fayette county jail. The
latter, gloomy, filthy, crowded with
men and women, voung and old, inno
cent and guilty, mixed together indis
criminately, is a school for crime, and
looks more like a baudit s cave than a
placo of reformation."
ihe board makes the following re
commendations about the future gov
ernmenl ot jails:
first, ihe abolition of government
by sheriffs under the feo system and
the substitution of a board of inspect
ors appointed wholly, or in part, by
the court.
Second. Absolute separation of
prisoners in all county jails by confine
ment, in ceils.
Third. Placing women under charge
of women in a distinct building.
fourth, treating detained witnesses
as free men in comfortable quarters
and properly compensated -for loss of
lime.
Fifth. Provision for tho steady em
ployraent of all prisoners, for their
own comfort, happiness and health.
iho establishment of wayfarers
lodges in largo cities is commended as
an effective agent in ridding centres of
population ot tramps. Tho board re-
oommends tho passage of a law em
powering the proper authorities to en
force work of this vagabond class and
arrest tramps wherover found and cou-
hue them in workhouses at bard labor.
A Woman Hanged

Herkimer, N. Y. on Mouday, for tho
murder of hor husband.

ed in New York state, and it is 35
years since an event of this character
has taken place. Wm. Druse, the
murdered mau, resided with his family
Mrs. Druse, their daughter Mary,
their son Georgo and their nephew
frank uates, on a farm at Warren,
Herkimer county. Ou tho moruing of
December 8, 1884, Druso arose, built a
hro in tho kitchen stove and repaii-ed
to the barn to do chores. Bctoro he
returned the other members of tho
family had eaten breakfast, which
caused a quarrel between the man and
his wile. Mrs. Urnse oalled tbe chil
dren into another room and ordered
them to assist her to "put the old man
out ot the way." Sho handed a load
ed revolver to Frank Gates and a ropo
to her daughter, and told them to help
hor mako a "suro job of It."
Tho Gales boy entered the kitoben,
and while behind Uruse, who was seat
ed at tho tablo, ho fired two shots,
both of which took effect. Mary threw
the ropo around her father's nock and
dragged him from his chair to the
floor. As ho attempted to rise Mrs.
Druse took tho rovolver from Frank
and emptied the remaining bullets into
her husband's body. Druse had life
onough to beg tho murderers to spare

struck blow after blow on tha neck of
the dying victim, till bis head was
severed from tho trunk. The body
was out up by Mrs. Druse nnd Mary,

house, and after tho flesh had been
boiled in the kettle it was fed to the
hogs. The bones were burned in n
stove and the charred remaius were
placed in a box and a bag and hidden
in a swamp.
Mrs. Uruso was twico sentenced to
be hung, the last time being on De

repriovo to February 28, pending the
decision of tho legislature on the bill
to abolish the death penalty in the caso
