Father William McDoxald, a
greatly beloved Catholic priest, was
buried at Manchester, N.II., on .Satur
day last. The Mirror, of that city,
states that hla burial was "the greatest
funeral demonstration ever held in New
Hampshire." All ihe mills were closed
in ot.px that the operator? might take
part 'n the honors paid to. the deceased.
The Mayor and other members of the
city government were present in their
official capacity. Such a demonstration
is nr.'eworthy as showing how complete
ly the former intolerance of religious
opinion in New England has been sup
planted by a better and nobler spirit.
Lieitesaxt Colonel William II.
Shallow, of the Confederate army,
in Ma "recollections of the Battle of
Gettysburg," in the Philadelphia Times,
thus j-ak9 of Pickett's famous charge
upon the center of the Union line :
The charge of Flckett's division at Get
tysburg will no down in history to the re
motest ages. It was the closing scene in the
grea'eet battle that has been fought in the
world since the birth of Christ. It wa9 the
turning poir.t in a ereat and eventful strug
gle that shook both hemispheres with the
terrors or the conflict. For devotion to a
hiah sense of military order, forccmraee and
determination in executing It, history has
recorded no sadder or more heroic picture.
After the Hvision of General Pickett had
been completely cut to pieces the batt !e was
at an end.
At a banquet given by the Lord
Mayor of Dublin on las'. Tuesday even
ing in honor of Mr. Parnell and his Irish
colleagues in the House of Commons,
three handled guests were present. Ml.
I'ainell delivered somewhat lengthy
address in the course of which he said
that if home rule was refused the Irish
they would make it impossible for the
English to legislate. England couid
either grant the Irish the right to rule
themselves 01 make the country a Crown
Colony. Tha latter would be practical
ly tantamount to the former. He de
nounced outrages, saying that a contin
uation of them would be a terrible blow !
to the Irish cause. TLe land question,
he said, was the great question in Ire
land. When a roan like Teter Ilerdic, of
Williarr.sport, who. notjmany years ago,
was engaged in a large number of spec
ulative enterprises and was considered
one of the wealthiest men in his section
of the State, fails in business, it rarely
Iiappens on an adjustment of his affairs
that his too confiding creditors are com
pelled, almost in a ljteral sense, to go
w'thout a dividend. In Ilerdic's case,
however, th Begister's report of divi
dend which was filed last week in the
United .States District Court at Pitts
burg, shows that the claims proven
against him amount to something over
a milium of dollars and that the assets
will pay a dividend of fco ami a half
wills. This shows that Peter is clearly
entitled to be ranked among the most
accomplished financiers of the present
day.
TnE period of forty days fixed by the
Presiient in hi3 proclamation ordering
the removal of the cattle being pastured
on lanu within the Indian Territory
leased by the cattle kings from the Chey
enne and Arapahoe Indians, expired on
Monday last. Iuformation from the
Territory as late as Tuesday states that
the removal of the cattle was progres
sing as rapidly as the conditions would
permit that within the past two weeks
more than seventy-five thousand bead
Lad been driven off the reservation,
which number added to those previously
removed make the total over one hun
dred thousand, The number remaining
is estimated at about seventy thousand,
and they will be taken out as speedily
as possible. The bulk of the cattle are
leing driven over to western ranges.
The cattle men seem to have concluded
that Mr. Cleveland in his proclamation
rneaut precisely what he said.
George W. Child.s, the proprietor
of the Philadelphia Ledjer, who was
as close and intimate a friend of Gen
eral Grant as any other man in this
country, says that during the progress
of the Electoral Commission bill through
Congress, Grant expressed to him his
belief that Tilden had been elected Pres
ident. Col. McClure, of the Philadel
phia Timfs, corroborates Mr. Childs
by the statement that just before Grant
started on his journey around the world
he heard him discuss the election of
1S7G very fully in the preseoce of Mr.
ChiMs, and that he (Grant) then said
that the vote of Louisiana ought to have
been counted for Tiiden and he believed
all the time that it would have been so
counted. This being Grant's view of
the matter it may be asked why, as
President, he was so determined in car
rying out the final decision of the Com
mission in favor of Hayes. The answer
Is very plain. The Electoral Commis
sion was a legal tribunal voted for by
cearly as many Democrats as Republi
cans in Congress ; the former believing
that the decision would necessarily be
in favor of Tilden, a belief in which the
honest portion of the Tlepublicans con
curred. Both sides having thus sub
mitted the dispute to the final judgment
of the Commission, there was no oth'w
alternative than quiet acquiescence in
its decision if revolution was to be
avoided ; and the only way in which to
prevent a- great and terrible a calamity
was for the President to see that the
judgment of the Commission wa3 carried
into effect, however unjust that judg
ment ma have been. History presents
co instance in which a great political par
ty for the sake of the peace and tranquil
lity of the country quietly submitted to
m giant wrong, as the Democratic party
did when it accepted the final judgment

Sfii- ttir.E for
Two days aftet Kemble was recom
mended to Governor Hoyt by the Par
don Board, of which Quay, who was
Secretary of the Commonwealth, was a
meber, for executive clemency, the Phil
adelphia Press, the leading Republican
, journal in the State, had this to say
j about that disgraceful proceeding: "As
Republicans ict di-trncn those bad men
1 who have bribed legislators, and these
j Governors and Secretaries (Quay)
i who have connived at the crime by set
; ting the criminals free in defiance of the
'Constitution and laws." What cLaDce
I would

Quay have stood at thai time of
ination or an election to a .State
office ? Just about as much as TCemble
j himself would have stood. What the
Press said about the iniquity of Kem

of nearly every Republican paper in the

penalty of his crime by imprisonment in
j the penitentiary under the sentence im
i posed upon him by Judge Pearson. Not
i if the same Philadelphia Press knows
whereof it affirms, for before his noml-
nation the Presj said of him : "If Mr.
; Quay is selected to head the ticket it
will be a disgrace to the Republicans of
this Slate." But he was selected in de
fiance of the protest of the Press and
other leading Republican journals, on
the sole ground that Blaine carried this
State last November by a majority of
80,000. Hi? record, however, as a sche
ming, unscrupulous and corrupt poli
tician is unchanged, and the Quay of
1S85 as a candidate for State Treasurer
is identical with the Quay of 10, when
he opened the prison doors to Kemble,
for which the Press fe't constrained to
"disown" him. The Presi now sup
ports Quay, whose nomination it would
have spewed ont of its mouth five years
ago. Times change and men change
with them, that is to pay the editor of
the Press has changed, while Quay re
mains the same. The leopard can't
change his spots.
Hon. Edgar Cowan died at his res
idence in Greensburg on Saturday last,
in the 70!h year of his age. His death
was caused by cancer in the mouth, the
same fatal maladv that cut short the
life of General Grant. Mr. Cowan was
born in Westmoreland county, and was
of Scotch-Irish descent. He owed noth
ing to birth or fortune, but hewed out
his brilliant career by his own energy.
In his youth he was an incessant reader,
like the late Jeremiah S. Black, and for
a time taught a country school. After
that he ran a keel boat on the Tough io
gheny river and having earned some
money, he ent?red a college in Ohio,
where he graduated in 1830. He then
studied law under Henry D. Poster in
Greensburg, and was admitted to the
bar in 142. The only office he ever
hel s that of U. S. Senator from
161 to 1SG7. In the Senate he sustained
President Lincoln in his war measures,
and after Andrew Johnson became
President he advocated his reconstruc
tion policy in the South as more in har
mony with the well known views of Mr.
Lincoln than the fierce, yindictive pol
icy of Thad leus Stevens, who was then
the Republican leader in the House.
During his term in the Senate Mr.
Cowan was confessedly one of its ablest
members. As a lawyer he had few
equals, and he divided the honors of the
Greensburg bar with bis old preceptor,
General Foster. He was honest in his
political convictions and fearless in ex
pressing them, and has left a mme and
reputation without spot or blemish.
A general business revival seems to
be at hand. The Pittsburg Post, of
Wednesday, says : "There is a substan
tial and promising improvement going
on in all departments of trade and man
ufactures. This is especially so in some
of the staple articles of Pittsburg pro
dnction. Our iron mills some of them
at least are overrun with orders and
have been compelled to refuse business."
The Philadelphia Prets, at the other end
of Ihe State, says : "There is a bright
outlook for the textile trade in Phila
delphia. In nearly every branch there
has been a revival; in a number there
has been a positive boom. Coming as
it does at this time, just when the sea
son ia opening, the improvement bids
fair to be permanent." In this connec
tion the Pittsburg Dispatch says that
Foraker. the Republican candidate for
Governor of Ohio, is making his cam
paign on the basis of denying the reports
of business improvement. "This," adds
that raper, "is extremely bad policy for
two reasons ; first, that people are not,
as a general rule, fond of prophets of
evil ; and second, that if the business
improvement should keep on so as to be
past all doubt by the first of October,
Foraker would not have a leg left to
stand on." The election of Cleveland
hasn't ruined the country near so soon
as the Republicau papers and Republi
can stump speakers predicted during the
campaign one year ago. On the contra
ry, the prospect of better times follows
close on the advent of a Democratic
Administration.
Seven million bales of cotton repre
sent an immense amount of wealth. A
region eapable of producing it has the
means of the greatest prosperity, and
there is something wonderful in the in
crease of this production over what it
was before the war. The largest amount
raised In any on year during that era
wa9 three aud a half million of bales,
and then it was thought that cotton was
king. It was also believed that the in
stitution of slavery was essential to its
successful production. A crop raised
by free labor twice as large as the lar-
crest ever raiaol In tha la., t ;
shows what an amazing change has ta-
t , . n . .
Cotton is tot
A to uirb niU IU 1 1 J (T
sen-50 In which it was once claimed to be,
but its power in a commercial sense is
twice as great as it was at any time be-
fore slavery went out of existence.
The President expects to return to
Washington the beginning of next week
from his trip to the mountains in Nor
thern New York.
" WniLE strictly honorable in the or
dinary transactions of life." says the
Philadelphia Telegraph, an Independ-
i ent Republican organ, "Col. Quay has
j no more political conscience or integrity
than an oyster."
THE PMIrOKM.
The Democratic State Convention
which met at Harrisburg last week
adopted tha following platform, which
ia easily understood without the aid of
a dictionary :
The Democracy of Pennsylvania in
convention declare their hearty appro
val ind support cf the principles adop
ted by tl.e Chicago Democratic Convert
tion July 0. 1SS4. They favor an hon
est and efficient civil service, a fair and
just revision of the tariff and a thorough
reform of the methods of administration I
which obtained under Republican rule,
in strict accordance with the terms of
thJ Cnica?0 p,atform upon which Gto.
ver Cleveland was elected President and
Thomas A. Hendricks Vice-President
of the United States.
Second. We cordially approve the
Democratic reform Administration of
President Cleveland and bis Cabinet.
We recognize in their official acts a res
olute determination to vindicate the
pledge upon which the President was
elected. To this errd we affirm his clear
and indisputable right to promptly re
move onicials who have prostituted the
purine service for partisan and personal j up of the pay-rolls and so much re
ends. The thorough reform of abuses I trenchment generally that the attaches
and searching investigations already ! of that luxurious bed will be greatly
made in the several departments of the
Federal Government give assurance that
the present Administration will secure
for the country that thorough organiza
tion of the civil service which will ef
fect an honest, practical administration
of the Government.
Third. The Administration of Gov
ernor Pattison, by a firm and honest
execution of law. and the faithful and
rigid use of the veto power in the inter
est of reform and economical govern
ment, challenges the respect and com
mands the confidence of the people. We
warmly approve the the action of the
Governor and his official advisers in
their efforts to maintain and enforce the
Constitution, to secure a just and honest
apiortionment, to guard the interests of
the people, to secure economy and hon
esty in the State Government, and to
reform long existing abuse and deeply
rooted inequalities in the laws.
Fourth. Every- legitimate effort of
labor to better its condition, enhance its
rewards and protect its rights commands
the sympathy and support of the Dem
ocratic party. The importation under
contract of foreign pauper labor is an
evil which should be remedied by jndi- I
cious legislation. j
Fifth. We favor the enforcement of
the Constitution of Pennsylvania in
its every article and section, ard espe
cially demand the regulation by law in
accordance therewith of the carrying
corporations of the State, the equaliza
tion of the tax laws, the appropriation '
of public moneys to public us s only, an
honest, management of the State Treas
ury, and rigid enforcement of the laws
governing it.
Sixth. We denounce, as in flagrant
violation of the Constitution, the at
tempt to consolidate thb South Pennsyl
vania and Beech Creek railroads with
the Pennsylvania road, and we heartily
approve the proceeding of the Common
wealth through the Governor and At-
tornev General to preserve and protect
the righfs of the peop'e under the Con
stitution. Seventh. The nomination or" Mat
thew S. Quay by the King Republicans
for State Treasurer is an insult to the
intelligence and integrity of the people,
and by his defeat they fitly rebuke leg
islative debauchery, official spoliation,
the pretensions of corporate power,
abuse of the pardoning power, and the
creation of new offices to harass the
people and to eat out their substance.
Eighth. Ttie Democratic party is.
as it has always txvn, opposed to sump
tuary legislation and unequal taxation
in any form, and i3 in favor of the lar
gest liberty of private conduct consist
ent with the tublie welfare and the
rights of others, ana of regulating the
liquor traffic and providing against the
evils resulting therefrom by a judicious
and proierly graded license system.
In common with our patriotic coun
try or all sections we mourn the death
of General Grant, and clierfsh the mem
ory of his m iflest and heroic character
and his great deeds. We sympathize
with his bereaved widow and children ;
and we trust that his dying wish for
"harmony and gnod-wili between the
sections" will oe fullv realized.
As each resolution was read it was
received with rv arty applause. An ef
fort to adopt the resolutions seriatim
was defeated and the platform was
unanimously adopted as read.
A SKETC n OF THE NOMINEE.

AM! I Mil LETTER.
From our reguUr Curre.-pvadtut.
Washington, August 31, 1885.
It is repor tiiat the President will
arrive in wLnimgton before the tenth
of September, this is earlier than he
was expected, but it ia quite probable
that he is now resigned to forego the
hardships of a fishing camp for the lux
uries of tne Executive Mansion, and
the ear piercing music of the mcsquito,
for that of the Marine Band.
'There will be a big cleaning out soon
after the President returns,' said an
official in the Treasury department yes- j
1 terday. 'The committee that are ex-
amining things here will recomend many
' dismissals. There is a great deal of
I dead timber that will be cleaned out.
The notion of this Administration is
j that things shosld be run in a Pim-
! nlo njirl ppnnnmial wjv and that, nn
i more people should be employed than !
i are necessary to do the work,
i One of the officers of the United
I States States Senate who is in town at
I present, probably because it is paying
j or something of that sort, is of the
opinion that when Congress meets in
December there will be such a shaking
surprised. More than this, many of
them will be compelled to walk. During
the closing hours of the last Congress
the usual flood of resolutions authoriz
ing the appointment of all sorts of com
mittees for junketing trips during the
summer,
! draw on
with an unlimited right to
the fund were introduced.
Some of them, whose promoters were
sharp enough to get them in early, were
passed. But before many days the pres
sure was so great that the whole thing
was turned into a farce. The debate
which sprang up over the various reso
lutions of the dignified Senators who
were making frantic efforts to put some
protege on the pay-rolls for the sum
mer with nothing to do was ludicrous
at first, but before it was over it be
came a disgrace to the United States
Senate. Some of the cooler headed
Senators (whose clerks were already
provided for) were smart e. ;ugh to see
it. They called a caucus and after two
or three angry meetincs smothered all
the resolutions. They went even far
ther. They appointed a committee
whose duty it should be to hold meet
ings during the summer and go over the
ground in relation to sinecures about
the chamber with a view to making a
report in the fall, which would bring
alwut a great many remarks ind much
retrenchment ali around. This com
mittee has leen hard at work all sum
mer and its report will be the basis of a
little letrenchment and reform side
show in imitation of that which the
viminisiraiion is carrying on upon i "
onoli n l.i rrra i r I tin- r-- amK oarIa T i''
will also tuini.sli Republican Senators a
needed opportunity to woiship their
species of reform most eloquently with
thelrlips, to put themselves on record,
and to roar through the 'Congressional
Record' that they are the first, sole and
oiiginal iiiventors of Civil Service re
form, and that they have a broad patent
on political virtue, and that the reform
of the present Administration is but a
spurious imitation and infringement.
In political circles here the Demo
crats are highly pleased at the course of
the Republicans of Ohio and Iowa, in
'falling back upon the bloody shirt' for
a political issue. The Democrats do
not believe tbatthe masses in the North
can be stirred again by sectional ap
peals. An Ohio Democrat said to-day:
'If the Ohio canvass is fought out in ac
cordance with Senator Sherman's key
note it will disgust many members of
that party so that they will stay away
from the polls. Sectionalism was buried
in General Grant's grave. Why, at the
recent Grand Army re-union ex-confederates
were present by special in
vitation. The people of Ohio consider
the war over, and if the Republicans
make their figbt ou old war issues we
will beat them certain.' Other Demo
crats talk in the same strain. They do
not conceal their gratification at what
they consider a blunder on the part of
Republican leaders of Ohio and Iowa.
K.
Ose of the most gratifying incidents
noted at the Democratic Convention at
Harrisburg was the presence and active
participation of so strong a contingent
of young men. It has hitherto ben the
j boast of our Republican friends that
j they had the rising generation on their
! side. The last national election nroved
that this vaunt was no longer true. Of
the two great parties the Democracy
should, were it true to its principles, at
tract the young men to its banners. It
is the party of the people, the heredita
ry antagonist of monopoly and matern
alisra. The generous ardor, the high
ambition, the tireless zeal of confident
youth for all these qualities it has,
when it is faithful to itself, a peculiar
attraction. Not that we would dispar
age the veterans of the party ; indeed,
there is no more inspiring or pathetic
spectacle than that which has been af
forded by the Democratic rank and fila
during the last quarter of a century.
Their party hurled from power ; its
councils divided ; the Constitution, for
which their adoration was honest if it
was often blind, invaded and rewronght;
the name of their party decried as a
synonym for disloyalty ; without money,
without patronage, without leadership;
taunted as unprogressive even when
they only bore manly arid patriotic tes
timony to the truths they were reared
to regard, and which they have beheld
once more triumphant under all that
could daunt or dishearten thern, the
Democrats came year after year to bo
routed and to rally again. They who
have kept the faith cau see without
jealousy or regret the young men com
ing to the front, and can rejoice in the
prosject of a progressive Democracy,
sonnd, enterprising, inheriting no lega
cy of the enmities or errors that may
have marked more evil times. Room

old 1 Philadelphia liecord.
Comparing Their Qualifications.
The comparative capacity of Conrad
B. Day ard Matthew Stanley Quay for
the performance of the duties of (State
Treasurer is being made the subject of
consideration and disenssion. The
plain people who do the heft of the vot
ing are beginning to give it considerable
attention. In tha Democratic candi
date they recognize a citizen who has
been very successful in his private cal
ling. His success has been brought
about by industry, careful attention to
business, honesty in his dealings, and
the exercise of practical intelligence.
They find in his case a eorrhination of
excellent qualities which never fail to
conduce to success in private life and
have the same effect in making a citizen
efficient and successful as a public offi
cer. In the Republican candidate the vo
ters recognize a citizen who has also
been successful in his business, which
is that of a professional politician. His
success has been brought Rbout by bis
great skill in the art of political trading
and wire-pulling and by the deftness
with which he has managed the party
machine. He has succeded in keeping
on the right side of the influences that
make politics profitable, and gaining the
favor of monopolies and moneyed inter
ests by services rendered in their behalf
In bis case are found a combination of
quahtes that are indispensable to a pro
fessional politician, but which are not
the best calculated to make a trustwor

The Germania of Berlin, Prussia, says
one hundred and forty Prussians have just
been expelled from Warsaw. They were
arrested and chained together and com
pelled to march, the women following the
men and sleeping in the prisons. The Po- 1
sen Courier publishes a long list of wealthy j
Poles who have been expelled from Prussia. !
The body of John Evans, aged 32 years, i
a resident of Edwardsville, Schuylkill
county, was found or. the track or the Del !
aware, Lackr.wanna and Western railroad, j
at Kincston, Tlnrsday morning. The head j
was severed from the trunk and the Dody j
was otherwise terrihly mangled. It is sup- !
posed that Evans was struck by a cosl tra'n
during the night.
A Wisconsin woman acerss her hu
band of tryinn to persuade her to commit;
suicide in a manner that would enable him ;
to collect for their children the amount, of'
an insurance policy on her life. lie arcued
the propriety of the project, since she was '
feeble and li-cely to require much doetorir.g j
during the rest of her natural life, thus
usine up money needlessly, whereas by ;
dyins at once she could leave the family In
good circumstances. j
Peter Ames, of Belmont, Maine, bad a j
tooth extract,; the other day, and the roots i
wrry found to have been in contact wiih j
metal. Ames had been wounded in the j
face at Spottsylvania, Va., In the war, and j
the bullet had never been extracted. More j
teeth were drawn, a part of the cheek bone I
removed, and an iron trape shot, weighing !
ne ounce, was taken out, after having been !
embedded there twenty-one years. t
A sad and distresoing accident occurred '
at Duncannon. Pa., on Friday afternoon, j
by which the oldest inhabitant of the place j
was instantly killed. As Mrs. Elizabeth!
Lewis, aed about eighty five years, was i
crossing the railroad track at Cumberland
street she was struck by Day Express east. ;
which was coming along with its usual i
speed. At this point of the road there is a i
curve, and It is thought the aeed lady did I
nor see tne approaching train in time to
make her escape.
There Is like'y to bs serious trouble on
the estate In County Limerick, Ireland, of
the Earl of Devon; whose property was, up

the time of Charles II. j
One hundred dollar reward is offered i
for the arrest of two men who reaislen d '
their names In Harrisburg as D. D. Fon-ter, '
or lioston, and D. F. Davis of Philadelphia.
These men went to John E. Kicker, of

llardrnril Liver.
Five years ago I broke (town with kidney
and liver complaint and rheumatism.
Since then I have beeu unable to b about
at all. My liver became hard like wood;
my limbs were puffed up and filled with
water.
All the best physicians agreed that noth
ing could cure me. I resolved to try Hop
Bitters; I have used seven bottles; the hard
cess has all gone from my liver, the swell
ing from my limbs, and it has vorted a
miracle in my case; otherwise I would have
been now In my grave.
