J. J. Van Alen was confirmed by
the Senate as Ambassador to Italy,
last Friday.
Senator Hill has given the outlines
of the proposed new tariff measure.
Bounties and subsidies will be cut
off, and raw material will be placed
on the free list.
After a long contest in the Senate,
repeal of the Sherman purchasing
clause in the silver bill is now in sizht.
The fight is conceded by the silver-
ites to be over, as they prefer uncon
ditional repeal to the proposed com
promise. A vote may be had by Sat
urday.
Twenty-seven people were killed
and twenty-three injured by a collision
on the Chicago and Grand Trunk line
at Battle Creek, Michigan, last Fri
day, the result of disobedience of or
ders by the engineer. The cars
caught fire, and twenty-six bodies
were burned to a crisp,
The end-
neer and conductor were arrested
Democrats should bear in mind
that the republican candidate for
county treasurer has not withdrawn,and
it is understood that he does not in
tend to so. One of the inducements
held out to Jos. P. Dewitt to run as
an independent candidate, was that
R. S. Bowman would withdraw and
the republican vote would be cast
for Dewitt. This was merely a trick,
however, to get two democrats in the
field, as the republicans have no inten
tion of voting for Dewitt, but will
make a stronir eflort to elect their can
didate with Dewitt's help. But if
cowman should withdraw, Dewitt
would then, to all intents and pur
poses, be the regular republican can
didate, and any democrat who votes
for him would be voting directly with
the republican party. If Bowman
does not withdraw, a democratic vote
for Dewitt would be the same as a
vote for the republican candidate.
No one has attempted to give any
reason why J. R. Fowler should not
receive the solid democratic support,
for no luch teason exists, and from the
reports that are coming in from every
township, Mr. Fowler will be elected
by the usual big majority.
Developments show that there has
been a change in the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western road. It is now
included in the Vanderbilt sphere of
railroad influence. Forty thousand
shares ot stock of the road have been
transferred to the name of William K.
Vanderbilt. It is said that he had
bought about 15,000 more shares,
which would be formally put in his
name.
It turned out that Mr. Vanderbilt
had entered into an arrangement as to
the Lackawanna with Frank Worth,
the owner of 30,000 shares and with
J. Rogers Maxwell, Harris Fahne
stock and George F. Baker, who con
trol the Central railroad of New Jersey
and who also hold some 30,000 shares
of Lackawanna stock. The combin
ed holdings make about 125,000
shares. It is not a majority, but with
other stock which can be relied upon
for voting purposes, is sufficient to
dictate the future policy of the Lacka
wanna. The Vanderbilts as a fact
own an actual majority of the stock of
none of the roads bearing their names
except the Michigan Central.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
TEC PE0F0SED COMPROMISE.
TO BE DECIDED THIS WEEK.
Change, of Senate Rules,
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Oct. aj, 1893.
President Cleveland and the demo
cratic Senators all of them have
found that common ground upon
which all democrats can stand with
out sacrificing either the party or their
individual . principals concerning the
treatment of silver by the government.
Readers of this correspondence will
not need to be told that I have never
for a moment during the long and
sometimes seemingly endless contro
versy in the Senate doubted for a
moment that the final result would be
such a compromise. To repeat a
hackneyed phrase, "the logic of the
situation" pointed from the first to
compromise as the only satisfactory
end to the contest, from a democratic
point of view.
The compromise, which has been ac
cepted by the Senate committee that
has been wrestling with the problem
ever since it was proven that a vote
upon the Voorhees bill was an impos
sibility under the present rules of the
Senate, and approved by Secretary
Carlisle as President Cleveland s of
ficial lepresentativc, provides for the
repeal of the purchasing clause of the
bherman law to take effect October 1.
1894 1 for the co;nage from time to
time of the silver purchased and of
the seigniorage in the Treasury and
that to be accumulated by future pur
chases, and for retiring all greenbacks
and lreasury notes below $10 and the
issuing of silver dollars or silver certi
ficates in place of them. It was at
first proposed to include authority for
the issuing of low interest bonds to re
plenish the gold reserve at the discre
tion of the Secretary of the Treasury,
but some democratic Senators were so
much opposed to this that Secretary
Carlisle suggested that if the purchase
of silver was not continued for more
than a year longer he thought the
bond issue would be unnecessary, so
the bond issue was left out.
It is hoped and expected that this
compromise will be put through both
Senate and House this week and an
end be put to the uncertainty. If it
is not it will not be the fault of the
democrats. The republican Senators
have given no indication of how they
regard the compromise, althouch be
fore it was agreed upon a number of
tnem stated that they would support
no compromise that did not include
the issue of bonds. The populists
Senators do not like the compromise
even a little bit, but unless they are
assisted by the republicans they can
do no harm. If the republicans join
them in voting against the measure
and Senator Irby of S. C, votes with
them instead of with the democrats
the compromise may be jeopardized,
if not actually defeated.
The business of the House is in
such a condition that the silver com
promise can be at once taken up if it
passes the Senate this week. Should
it be finally disposed of this week, it
is altogether probable that Congress
will take a recess, as many ot the
Senators and Representatives are
anxious to take part in the closing
day of the various state campaigns,
and the new tariff bill is not expected
to be ready to be reported to the
House much if any before the begin
ning of the regular session. Presi
dent Cleveland is also anxious to take
a short vacation before the beginning
of the regular session.
Senators Voorhees, Hill and others
are so anxious that the rules of the
Senate shall be so changed as to al
low a majority to order a vote upon
any measure after thirty days have
been devoted to its discussion that the
resolution of Senator Voorhees pro
viding for the change may . be taken
tip as soon as the silver compromise
is disposed of. Should that be done
there will be a very lively debate, en
tirely outside of party lines, as it has
friends and opponents in both parties,
and the result will be doubtful, the
chances favoring defeat.
Four democratic Senators Martin
of Kans., Hill of N. Y., Vance of N.
C, and Irby ot S. C voted against
the confirmation of the nomination of
Mr. J. J. Van Alen, to be Ambassa
dor to Italy, but as 10 republicans
voted for confirmation th nomin
ation got through by a vote
of 39 to 22. No Senator, either dem
ocrat, republican or populist, believes
that there was any truth in the charge
that Mr. Van Alen had been nominated-
as the result of a bargain and in
payment for his having made a large
contribution to the campaign fund of
the party. The democrats who voted
against his confirmation did so for
other reasons.
From the best obtainable informa
tion here the attempt of the populists
to capture Virginia will result in a
democratic majorily in that State lit
tle if any short of that given Cleveland
and Stevenson last November.
The legislative day of Tuesday,
October j 7, will be a long one. From
that day the Senate for the purpose of
lessening fillibustering has taken a re
cess every afternoon, instead of ad
journing, so that the legislative day of
Tuesday is still going on in the Senate
and will probably continue until the
silver compromise is finally disDosed
of. '
The Carbon-Monroe Fight.
IT WILL BE QUITE AS INTERESTING AS
ANY IN THE STATE.
Another strong contest is that in the
Carbon-Monroe district. In the fight
between Judge John B. Storm and the
Hon. Allan Craig, Democrats, Judge
Storm has secured a temporary ad
vantage, which his political tnc.kery
may yet cost him. He is the candi
date of Monroe county but not of the
judicial district, while Senator Craig is
Carbon's nominee, but not the nom
inee of the whole district. The Carbon-
Monroe district gave a Demo
cratic majority of 2,420 last year.
Carbon's vote was 3,541 for Cleve
land and 3,179 for Harrison, a Demo
cratic majority of 362. Monroe gave
Cleveland 3,078 and Harrison 1,020,
a Democratic majority of 2,05s. But
while Monroe gives the greater ma
jority Carbon has the larger number
of electors, in the leading parties ex
ceeding that of Monroe by 2,622.
Judge Storm has the almost undi
vided support of Monroe county, and
of County Chairman Michael Cassidy,
of Carbon. But Judge Storm is a
Monroe county man and the people of
Carbon think a Carbon county man
ought to fill the position of judge of
the Jrorty-thinl district. Ihey c.iil not
like the appointment of Storm as
Judge Dreher's successor and do no!
wish his election, while Carbon county
Democrats enthusiastically endorse
Craig and will give Storm a harder
fight than he probably anticipates.
Senator Craig, the Carbon county
Democratic convention's unanimously
chosen candidate for president judge,
is fifty-eight years of a'.'e and has re
sided during all that time in Carbon
county. He became a member of
the bar in 1858 and was elected dis
trict attorney in i860 and re elected
in 1865. He represented his county
in the stale legislature from 1866 to
1868, and the senatorial district, com
posed of the counties of Carbon, Mon
roe and Pike, fiotn 1879 to 1883.
Mr. Craig has several times been the
choice of the county for congress, but
defeated in the conference by not
being an adept in political manipula
tion. He has for many years enjoyed
the largest practice in his county, has
been engaged in the most important
litigation and is the Nestor of the bar.'
John B Storm, the nominee of the
Democrats ol Monroe county, has
been more prominent in politics than
in the law, having been a member of
the lower house of the Forty second,
Forty third, Forty cijjhthand Forty
ninth congresses. In lite years
he has given more attention to
his law practice, and upon the death
of Judge Dreher Governor Pattison
appointed him to the vacancy in spite
of the protests of citizens of Carbon
county, who felt that their county was
entitled to the judgeship, since Mon
roe county had had her share of the
honor, particularly because Carbon is
a much more populous county than
Monroe. Jud;e Storm is also a promi
nent Methodist. Patriot.
