FRIDAY, DECEMBER ai. l?94-
Ex Queen Liliuokalani still suffers
from indigestion and a hard name.
The reasoning against the iicome
tax is unreasonable.
It is said that Representative Farr,
of the State Legislature wi 1 introduce
a compulsory educational bill during
the next session of the Legislature.
Senator Hill says that there is too
much time wasted in the Senate, but
his inherent modesty forbade his say
ing just who it is that is waning it.
While contempt of court has landed
Debs in jail, the Sugar Trust has not
yet jailed the contemptible courts that
presume to pester it.
Just what the Governor of South
Carolina (now Senator Tillman) will
say to the unreenerkte governors of
the United States Senate when he
gets there, is a matter of conjecture.
On the 17th inst. the House passed
a bill to protect even the forest reser
vations. It was put through under a
suspension of the rules. This is about
the only kind of protection the ruril
districts get.
Who avs that Uncle Sam is bank
nipt or hard pressed for cash ? Re
cent reports from the seat of Govern
ment granted that he had $793,143,-
163 in the U. . Treasury. When
Uncle Sam wants money at a low rat
of interest let him issue a poor man's
bond of $5 and 5 10 denomination, and
he will get more money than he kno ws
what to do with. But that s not the
way they do it At least the Repub
lican party uever has issued any such
bonds. Democracy may, and again
and then aain she may not
Li Hung Chang is not yet hung,
but he might as well be, so far as his
checking the onslaught of the Taps is
concerned. He deplores the want of
railroads, Sec, for the emergency of
war. Li Hung is credited with being
himself progressive but fogies of the
Empire have hitherto frustrated all his
progressive efforts and he is now able
to prove to them that modern facil"-
ties are best m peace or war. It is
said that Chang Chitunz, the new
Viceroy, is making extensive projects
lor the reformation of the entire Em
pire. We expected as much would
take place either before or soon after
the close of hostilities.
THE PBESLDEXT GOES HU5TIS0.
Washington, December 16 Presi
dent Cleveland, accompanied by Dr.
O'Reilly, Captain R. D. Evans and
Charles Jefferson, left Washington
this evening on an Atlantic Coast
Line train for a hunting trip on the
coast ot south Carolina.
The trio has been in contemnlati.-m
since early in the fall, and is taken at
mis time in tne hope that the outing
will benefit the President and eradi
cate the remnant of rheumatism which
still lingers with him. The party will
return in aoout a weefc.
Richmond, a., December 16
President Cleveland's train arrived
here at 7 P. M. and made a stop of
iwen'y minutes, fie came to the car
door and shook hands with about two
hundred people, who piled over each
other to reach him.
Hanast icfciowledfoieat After Election.
Congressman J. W. Bibcock of
Wisconsin, chairman of the Republi
can congressional campaign committee
bein;; interviewed on the 5th inst, said
concerning the revival of the McKin
ley bill :
"That bill did not have the support
of one Republican in five when it pass
ed. It was responsible for the Repub
lican defeat in 1890, and that defeat
was one of the strongest expressions
of the intelligence of the American
people. This widespread intelligence
is one of the most gratifying things to
me as an American cituen. Our peo
ple wi!J cross party lines at any time
to rebuke their own partr when they
think that it has not dealt fairly with
them. There was a deep seated pre
judice against the McKinley bilL It
was regarded as too friendly to the
manufacturers and not sufficiently in
the interests of the people, and they
put the party out of power that was
responsible for the legislation."
This country will be satisfied uh
no financiil plan that will allow wild
cat banking schemes another lease of

There was an assemblage of over
700 Grangeu at Harrisburg during
the late convention. In resolutions
adopted they favor forestry legislation
and prohibit nepotism on the part of
school directors. Governor Pattison
appeared before the convention and
made an address.
Thi Schuylkill county almshouse is
again the subject of some horrible
revelations concerning the treatment
of inimates, &c The good people
now have the matter in hand in such
an earnest way that the impurities
complained of ate apt to be revealed
and the guilty managers arc apt to be
ousted forthwith as they deserve.
Eugene V. Debs, the labor leader,
was convicted in Chicago on the 14th,
inst., in all charges brought against
him. He was sentenced to six
months in jail. The others on trial
with him were given three months
each, except McVane, who was re
leased, there being uo evidence
against him.
It is sarcastically remarked concern-
. t .-.1 1-
ing tne oooaie 01 tne ieraae canui
dates for office in the west that in
stead of the beer and cash so effect
ively used bv man. they success "ul!y
bribe with new hats, bonnets and
feathers. We regard the charge as
'too awfully mean for anything" and
will saj furthermore, that we doi t be
lieve a wotd of it.
While some things a-e good cnouih
to hold water others are not ; and if
Lewis M. Haupt knows anytning
about it, that s what the matter with
the new Queen Lane reservoir cf
Philadelphia. Unless they can kind
of hoop the thing up, sometody may
get drowned out in that neighborhood.
Like those who let the contract, the
soil used is too givey, it seems. A
recent examination leads the examiner
to remark that about $100,000 is
wasted there ; but that's nothing these
days.
John A. Huntington an assistant
bookkeeper and collection clerk of
the Fidelity and Casua ty Banking
Company of Council Bluffs, Iowa,
recently committed suicide after
mortally wounding two of his question
ers who suspicioned him of embezzle
ment. His pay being $45 per month.
and his spending money considerably
more, the employers suspicioned and
finally cornered him, and then he
shot them and closed the tragedy by
taking his own lite.
Children Murdered for Money.
If there is not a yawning hell for
those brutes in the shape ot n.en and
woman who insure the lives of their
children and then actually starve
them, or otherwise takj their lives for
the insurance money, then we think
the Almighty has made a mistake in
not providing a hell and a hot one.
In fact the more we see of the brutal
ities resulting from the vanities of
life the more we are convinced of
the justice and equity of hell fire and
damnation. We live in an age when
child-life insurance is in the specula
tive vocabulary, and like all other
speculative enterprises it is open to
all manner ot abuses on the part of
those holding the policies and wanting
the money on them a great deal
worse than they want the expense and
trouble of raising their children into
respectable manhood and womanhood.
Recent investigation of the cruel
effect of child-life insurance in this
State is .revealing the fact that it is
fraught with more than suspicion of
deliberate murder for money. If
parents themselves were generally
living in the fear of God there would
need be no apprehension of evil from
this source more than any other ; but
alas, there is the trouble and danger
from child life insurance. The Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children are making some astound
ing revelations along this hue of
speculation.
A rOOT-BMJi PLAYES'S DEATH.
As the result of a kick received
while playing foot ball on November
3d, George Stanley Young, aged 21
years, died at his hone, 1407 Adams
street Philadelphia, on Monday.
lhe rounsr man was a member of
the B. O. S. foot ball team, of Frank-
ford, and on the occasion when he re
ceived the injuries, which resulted in
his death, was playing the position of
right guard in a game with the Pen
nants. In the second half he was
running with the ball and was heavily
thrown, the ball falling from .his
grasp. He attempted to recover it
when one of the opposing players
kicked it the leather, but missed it
Instead the kick took effect under the
left jaw of Young. He became tin
conscious, but recovered and went on
with the game.
At its conclusion he felt badly and
spoke to his parents of the accident
He worked as usual at his regular em
ployment however, until Wednesday
last, when his condition became seri
ous. The place where he had been
kicked became very black and the
sufferer became delirious. Physicians
could do nothing for him and he died
at noon.
Tne funeral took place on the aoth
inst. from the home of his parents and
was attended by members of the
Knights of the Golden Eagle and
Company D. State Fencibles, of
which he was a memoer.

It may be good news to murderers
to learn that there is now an automatic
gallows invented that breaks the neck
by jerking the villain up instead of
dropping him down, and it is said to
work like a charm.
