EDNS9URC. PA.. FRIDAY, - - NOVEMBER -20, 1885. The Historical Sriciety of PerinsjlYa m will corn celelrate In Philadelphia the ffttlcjr opof thfflrst print'.tR press In that city by William Bradford. In 1685. two hundred years ago. There will b appropriate addresses, on the occasion and a Catherine of the craft from all parts of the country. It is well known that Mahone is physically a yery small man and in sporting circle would be called a "light weight." Before the Virginia election he only weighed ninety-two pounds, aDd ns be has resolutely refused to goon the scales sioce then no man knows what his weight is now. But it can be guessed at. Anthony M. Keily, of Virginia, who was flist appointed by Mr. Cleve land United States Minister to Italy, and afterwards Minister to Anrtria, both of which missions he was com pelled to resign owing to the unwilling ness of each of the government named to receive him; has left Richmond and taken wp bis permanent residence in 2J"ew York. Mk. Vilas, the Postmaster General, Las abolished an office in Utah Terrlto ly. not because) the Mormon postmaster did not give entire satisfaction to the community he nerved, but because, that Community was composed entirely of himself, bis fonr wives and tbeir seven teen daughters. Nobody els patronized the office, and besides this a man, under the E.'mumis act of Congress, with four wires or any number beyond one. Is Incapable of holding a public office. John M. Laird, the veteran editor of th Greensburg Aryut, states in his paper that at the lat general election he cast his ballot for the sixty fourth time, and always for thf Democratic ticket. Only txvlre, he adds, has he scratched a name from the regularly nominated ticket of his party. What a rich and Interesting fund of political sremini.scences must be at the command of Mr. Eainl, who commenced voting When James Monroe was President and Joseph Hiester was Governor of Penn sylvania. The National Butter, Egg & Cheese Association, which recently held a con vention at Chicago, decided to ask Congress to impose a duty on imported g?s in order to protect the American htn from the pauper bens of Europe. As German sauerkrout is compelled to pay a pretty steep tariff for the benefit of the American cabbage raiser, there seems to be no good reason why the bens of the country should not be taken under the protecting wing of the gov ernment. Mahone proposes to demonstrate by facts and figures te magnitude of the frauds by which, he says, his party was defeated at the late election in Virginia. He gave foith a very loud yelp about intimidation of the colored voters and a false count when Cleveland carried the State a year age, although, the colored Preachers io Virginia, who are nearly all Bewuhiicatjs, declared that the elec tion had been fairly and honestly con ducted. " Mahone means well," as the Philadelphia Jitcord remark?, "but ferns uuable to appreciate the fact that he ia dead, and died intestate," Servia has declared war against Bul garia and some fighting has already ta ken place with the advantage in favor of Servia. 1 hey are both provinces of Turkey, in Europe, and if left to them selves to fight out the dispute the affair would not cause much more excitement Outside of their own limits han a pitch ed battle at Donnybrook Fair formerly created in IreUud. Russia and Aus tria, Turkey and Germany, however, are directly interested in the quarrel, and no man can foresee what immense proportions the matter may eventually assume. Tni New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Record thinks there Is a good deal of foolish talk about Governor Hill as the next Democratic candidate for the Presidency, but that noue of It comes from the Governor himself or his Immediate friends. " I knew Mr. Hill," the coi respondent adds, "when he was first a member of the Legisla ture, and have always admired him and believed him to be honest and fearless. With a Republican Legislature to give him a chance for the proper exercise of the veto power, he will make his mark in the next three years. One thing is certain, the politic! ins will make a mis take if they underrate or try to ignore David B. Hill." According to a dispatch in the Phil adelphia Tivic from Portland, Maine, Mr. Frye, one of the Republican Uni ted States Senators from that State, said ou Saturday last In a conversation that the appointments to office made by ' Mr. Cleveland ought to be considered by Republican Senators in precisely the same way as if they bad been made by a Republican President, that If the man appointed is of good character and qualified for the place he should be con firmed without reference to political questions, and that if there k opposition to the confirmation in any case the burden of proof should be on those who make the oojec'.ion. Mr. Hale, the oth er Senator from Maine, is credited with saying that be believes ia making no factious opposition to the President's apiointments. There are Republicans in the Senate, however, chief amongst whom is Conger, of Michigan, whose son the President permits to hold the office of Postmaster at Washington City, who will undertake by tbe bind ing force of a caucus decree, if they ean secure its passage, to give the Pres ident any amount of trouble, but the success of Conger and his set in the ! business of obstruction is by no means flattering. I Immediately after the lata election three or fonr Democratic newspapers in different parts of the 8 'ate undertook to bold Mr. Ilensel, Chairman of the State Committee, responsible for the re sult, and plainly intimated that a change should be made in the headship of the Committee when the proper time arrives. Did any one of the editors of these papers expect or believe that Con rad B. Day would be elected State Treasurer? If he did we have only to say that the past history of Penuaylva nia politics has failed to teach him a lesson that is well understood, and that is that Pennsylvania is a Republican State, and that Republican voters will sustain a State nomination no master bow objectionable the candidate may be. There wasn't a single deleeat to the State convention at which M. S. Quay was nominated who was not perfectly familiar with his corrupt and rotteu re cord, nor was theie a reading and intel ligent Republican voter in the State who was not equally familiar with it. No movement was made anywhere in the State by the Republicans, except small side-show performance in Phila delphia, tending in any degree to prove that the Republican prty was not a unit in favor of the " brilliant states man " from Beaver county. And with this acknowledged condition of the contest Ptaring every sane man in the face, Mr. Ilensel, according to these wi8e after-the fact and progressive edi tors, was expected to revolutionize the State and elec Mr. Day, whoee fair, honorable and fcpot.ess record when con trasted with Quay's, ought to have been sufficient or itself in a healthy StUe of public opinion, to have turned the ecale iu bis favor without Mr. Ilensel raising his hand or opening his lips. This was an off year, as it is called ; there was no excitement in either party, nor could any have been creatsd by either Mr Ilensel or Thomas V. Cooper, Chairman of the Republican State Committee, no matter how vigorous their efforts might have been in that direction. The cam paign naturally drifted listlessly along with a may the devil-take the hindmost feeling of indifference pervitdinar both parties, and resulted in 111.655 Dem( crats and 149,110 Republicans refusing to go to the election, as compared with the vote of last year. If Mr. Ilensel is to be ostracised for not marching this army of Democratic sluggards to the polls, what punisment ought to be meeied out to the more unsuccessful Thomas V. Cooper, who in a campaign is always as busy as a bee, for his fail ure to drum up so large a percentage of th Republican voters throughout the State ? They both did what they could both of them, like Glendower, could call spirits from the vasty deep, but they would not come, and when voters refuse to go to an election, that is an end to the argument. When William A. Wallace was Chairman of the Si ate j Committee he enjoyed the well earned reputation or being a remarkably able and efficient political organize., but he cou!d not accomplish impossibilities and in campaigu after campaign the Democracy of the fetate went down to defeat. Whai other Democrat in the State occupying Mr llensel's place could have done better than he did un der the circumstances in the campaign that has recently closed? No such man car. be named, and the fault find ing editors who have been abusing him and snapping at his heels, are simply gnawing at a file. The tax law passed by the last Leg islature will be found on the fourth page of our paper. The most important portions of the act are printed on the sheet of paper containing the long list of questions handed to each taxpayer by the Assessor of his district, which are to be answered and sworn to by the formirr. We furnish our readers with the entire act. This law, like the most important acts of every session of the Legislature, was delayed in its passage until the very last moment, and could not therefore have received the careful and serious consideration that ought to have been bestowed upon it. No man likes to be compelled to answer under oath questions hav.ng for their purpose a disclosure of bis worldly wealth for taxation, under the pains and penalties of perjury if he don't tell the whole tiuth. The law as a whole, and some parts of it in particular, has created a perfect storm of opposition throughout the State, and win in the end, we think, prove to be a dismal failure. Every taxable citizen to whom is given, as the law requires, a printed list of the ques tions w hich he must answer under oath, can see for himself the dimensions of the paper, and as the A-sessor must re turn all of them to the County Commis sioners, by whom they must be pre served, it would not be many years, if the law remaiusin force, uutll the vault In their office would be too small to con tain the mass of accumulated rubbish. When the bill was before the I loose on its final passage 99 Republicans, 36 Democrats and 1 Gieenbacker voted for it, and 27 Republicans and 14 Demo crats voted against it. Louis Riel. the half breed Canadian rebel, was executed at Regina on Mon day last. He met his fate calmly and with great courage. His death has caused intense excitement among the French Cnadiaus, and the refusal of the Government to commute his sen tence into imprisonment for life is gen erally regarded as a great mistake that may lead to serious consequences here after. The half br-eds for whose cause Riel stood forth as the champion, have undoubtedly much to complain of. and it ia their misfortune that in seeking rtdress they have to deal with a gov ernment like that of Great Britain The following Philadelphia appoint ments were made by the President on Tuesday last: William F. Har'ity Postmaster, and John M. Campbell' Surveyor of the Port. On the same dav Mr. Manning, Se retary of the Treasu' ry appointed William D.

Oalviston, Texas, November 13. 2.15 a. M. A most destructive fire is now raging in the eastern part or the city, between 16th and 17th streets. The fire broke ont at 1:40 o'clock In a small foundry on the north side of Strand street near the corner of Six teenth. The flames spread rapidly un der a stiff nottb wiud, and the prospects at this time ate that Galveston will suf fer great loss. Six dwelling houses have already teen destroyed, and immense clouds of sparks are being carried four and five squares over the roofs of wooden bouses. The entire fire department is on the ground, but seems paralvzed and unable to fight trie flames, on account of the fierce wind and sufforat ng smoke. 8KYEK SQUARES BURNING. 3:45 A. m. The fire at this hour has spread seven squares, and has become a great conflagration. Fully fifty dwel lings ar burning fiercely, and the path of the fire as it progresses southward is filled with the finest dwellings in the city, all of which are wooden. For five sqnares south the fire was confined to the width of one square between 16b and and 17th streets, but when it crossed Winnie strteet, six squares from the starting point, it jumped diagonally to the southeast Into the next block, and at. present writing gives evidence of con suming one third of the city. PROGRESS OF THE FLAMES. 7 A. M. The fire is still burning fiercely and has reached to withiu four blocks of the beach. It is burning in Avenue N : is still spreading on other sides, and has cnt a Pwath of six blocks. About sixty block have already Ivten de stroyed. Hundreds of families have lost everything, and great distress pre vails. The loss is placed by some at f4 000.000. Ai 10 A. m. The fire has now reached a point within three blocks of the beach and is still spreading in that direction. The firemen seem powerless to check the flames. 1 500 FAMILIES HOMELESS. Gaveston. November 13. noon Up to this hour all efforts to get tbe fire nnder control have been frustrated by the g!e which still rges with great fury. Thus far about ninety h'ocks have been destroyed. Fu'ly 1 500 fam ilies have been rendered homeless, and the loss will probably exceed $ 1 000.000. A rough estimate of the insnr nee pla ces it at $3,000,000. The fir- is now burning close down to the beach, and there la a prospect of its being stayed for wan' of material to consume. 12:30 P. M. The fire has now aopa rently exhausted itself, having burned right, across the city and reached the gulf on the south side of the island. The fl.imes did not extend east of 16th street or west of 21st, but between these si reels everything is swept clean. The business part of the city has not suffered to anv extent. Insurance men estimate their loss at SI 700 000. The loss of property. rel and personal, will ap proximate $3,000,000. WAR 15 THE BALKAXS. The report of a declaration of war by Servia against the Bu!?.irians has been foreshadowed by recent events in the Bnlkan, and is now confirmed by the lares; dispatches. A Servian army i& on the march to the Bulgarian capital, and a battle is expecud. In the mean time the conference of the European powers is delit-era' iug at Constantino ple as to the beat means of arresting the Bulgarian revolution Bnd averting war. Servia'? precipitate action bus discon certed the plans of diplomacy even more than the nntlonal movement of the Bulgarians, and the hope of compromise has become extremely precarious. Thea'leged grounds of war on the part of Servia are the unjus' ifialile at tacki of Bu'garirtns and the Bolerarian invasian of Servian territory. But the teal caue 13 the disturbance by Bulga ria of the balance of pol tical power which was established by the Berlin treaty. If the movement of the Bulga rians for union with Roumelia and na tional independence should succeed they wou'd threaten their smaller neighbors in the B-tlkan peninsu'a by 9 too great preponderance of political power. Ser via insists on having more territory, or on confining Bulgaria to her present 1 tenitorial dimensions, and in this posi- j t inn she is supported by the sympathy and the Intrigues of Russia. If left to themselves there is no doubt that the Bulgarians are more than a match for the Servians. Thev have as warlike a population and a larger arm v. Besides, their pride and their patriotism are enlisted in a struggle for material existence. The outcome of a conflict between tbe Bulgarians and the. Servi ans is of i'Self of small consequence to the outside world. They nrghf fight it out to their hearts' content if other In terests were not deeplv involved in the dispute. The Turk.it is true. I a ward of the European powers, but it. seems almost impossible for Turkey to remain neutral or indifferent in a conflict in which its tributaries are engaged and which threaters to dissolve its empire in Europe. IT Turkey intervenes, how are the European powers to remain pas sive ? Austria-Hungary, through the pos session of Bosnia and Herzegovina, has become one tha Balkan powers, and has a strong interest in the balance of power on the peninsula. Shoald Austria come to the assistance of Us Servian ally. Germany would he obliged to intervene, notwithstanding the Ber lin treaty. Russia, who is tbe prime mover in all tbe intrigues or the Balkan peninsula, cou'd no' kep out of the quarrel, and tben England and France would Inevitably be drawn into tbe con flict. But. notwithstanding the Hondy perspective in the Balkans, it is difficult to believe that Europe will drift Into a general war in consequece of this move ment of Bulgaria for nationality and independence. The conference of the powers is still in session at Constantino pie, and the last word of d'pmriarv has not been spoken. Philadelphia liecord.

Tbe week has been one of c'oae con finement to the President, who is at work upon bis first message to Congress. Tie has bad frequent rnnsn'faMons with different members of bis Cabinet, but has reen few otner p-op'e than those having tbe most urgent business with him. Tbe present week will he one of equal seclusion, as be exoept by the close of it to complete this document, snd have it readv for the printer. Th message is prettv well nnrter wa. and parts of it are being copied on tbe tvpewriter. It is said he hs touched nprni many points with his characterisf ie vloor. A good deal of space has been devoted to commercial relations and 'he pteamship controversy, and it is believed the Pres ident will sustain the Postmaster Gen eral. The navy wil' also be given dne consideration, and Congress will be nrged to appropriate largely for new vessels. A Democretic Congressman who has just returned to Washington was asked what would he the tendency of legisla tion this winter. He replied : "We cannot tell nntil we see what the Presi dent will ask us to do in his message." Still he thought, there were several mat ters that, were sure te come before Con gress for action. "Thearmv and navy." continued he. "both require a good deal of legislation." Thf re is a senti ment among Dprrocrflts that this ad ministration must re-create the naval service, and that it must he restored to its pr sit inn in the world's fleet :t occu pied before tbe war. It is easy to note upen the faces of Republican Congressmen B3thev gather in Washington an expression of discour agement. They fee! tbe party in power will stay. The Republican party has bad taken away from it the power of its Federal officers and Its ability to raise assessments from officeholders. The Democratic pary came very near beating it with al! this artificial strength and tbe recent elections have proved that the Democratic party can stand alone, and needs no Federal patronage to back it. You bear no more now about war in the Senate, and nothing about Democratic revolt, even from Re publican Congressmen. The President's order excluding office seekers and public men from the White House, except when they have pub'ic husiness with him, will probably be re voked at the end of the month. It was made to give Mr. Cleveland time to pre pare his message, and he has said that he feels no inclination to restrict public men in tbeir visits to him or to require them to specify their business In ad vance. A few davs ago some promi nent Congressmen were protesting against the order in the office of Private Secretary Lamon'. Presently thev wete admitted to see the President, and find ing him alone once was snch an unex pected convenience that thev went away thinking well of tbe late order. The event at the White House on Saturday was the arrival of ia long absent hostess. Miss Cleveland. Sh has been at home in Oneida county. N. Y.. and returns to resume her social duties here. The White House was thoroughly overhauled and cleaned during her ab sence ard now it is in order again for tbe coming season. The windows are draped in iace and damask as of old. and the only change in the wiole ar rangement from that of las yeai is the substitution of a full leng'h portiait of T.x President Ar'hnr for That of Gen. Grant, in the Red Parlor. The portrait of he latter has been placed in a con spicuous position in the corridor. During the week several Republican officials here were relegated to private life. Nearly all the higher officials in the Treasury department now are new men and Democrat, nnd the good work of the new bro m goes on steadily if not rp:dly. Secretary Mann'ng seems to grasp his whole complicated department, nnd his enereetic business methods are felt in everv branch of it. He apt-end concer ns ion Ktrion?
