EBM8BURC. PA.. FRIDAY, - - - MARCH 26, ISS6. On Mouday last the lower branch of undress passed the bill granting a pen sion of ?2. a year to ihe widow of General. Hacoock. Tt6 Senate acted promptly anj paped it on Tuesday. 31 only needs the President's sif nature to become a law. "ITEna lies the body of John M'Lean Ifnyward, a man who Beyer -voted; of inch is the kingdoru of HeaTen." This is the queer epitaph that win be placed on the headstone at the yrave of Dr. Hay ward,' who died at Way'.and, Mass., and whe prepared his epitaph shortly be fore he died. ' Gen. Stoneman, the present Demo cratic Gorernor of California, has-an-painted Georsre TIenrst as UnUed States Senator, to sncceed Gen. John T. Mil ler, lately deceased. Mr Hearst will hold his seat nntfl the 4th of next March. His successor will be chosen by the Legislature that will be elected next NoTember. Mr. Manntxo, Secretary of the Treasury, had an attacR of vertigo on Tuesday last, and was conveyed from his office In the Department to his resi dence rn a carriage. This was the first report regarding the matter and since then tt is stated that he "had a mild apoplectic attach. Whatever was the cause of his sodden prostration, he was a very sick man on "Wednesday, and grave apprehensions are felt at Wash ington In regard to hrs recovery. Mr. Vanning has been a very hard worker since be went to Washingtmj and is now paying the penalty. John Ncmais of the Philadelphia Rtcrrd who wrote the lengthy article which was published In that paper near ly a mouth ago in regard to ttie Soldiers' Orphans1 8choo1s.has accompanied Gov ernor Fattison and Mr. Cassidy in all the visits thev made to the schools du ring last week and the weelr, previous. Mr. N orris Is a genuine reformer and a fearless investigator, and his timely ar ticle has been the 8objct of warm com mendation by the press throughout the State. Georck Pbarsow, of Mercer County, who ia Secretary of the Republican State Committee and also Chief Clerk of the House at narrisbusg. has decided tot to be a candidate for the former position when the new eommitte meets after the Republican State Convention has been held. Pearson is connected with Wright and Paul in runnina the Chester Springs Soldiers' Orphans' School and he has discovered from late developments that the committee will not need his services dnring the coming campaign. This is a bad year for persons who at tach Importance to the superstitious prejudice against Friday. It is well known that sailors cannot be persuaded to commence a long or hazardous voy. age on that day, but this year the whole calander has conspired to upset the su perstition. - The year came in on Friday, and will go out on Friday and will have fifty three Fridays. Two months of the year come in on Friday and two others go out on Friday. There are five months in the year that have five Fridays The phases of the moon change five times on Friday, and tbe sun was eclipsed on March 5. which fell on Friday. The longest day in the year and the shortest both fall on a Fri day. All these Friday coincidences will enable superstitous persons to explain away calamities, strikes, murders, wars and other remarkable events quite as satisfactorily as the appearance of a ctw com met. Frank HrRD, the well known Democratic ex-member of Congress from the Toledo, Ohio, district, who contest ed the right of Romeis, his Republican opponent, to his seat, has lost his case, the committee on elections in the House having reported in favor of Romeis on Friday last. The vote in the committee stood 8 for Romeis to 6 for nurd. Mr. Hurd contested tbe seat upon tbe ground that the number of fraudulent votes polled for Romeis in Toledo as well as in some of the districts in Lucas county outside of Toledo, exceeded his .majority, which was something over 200. It is said that Hurd will attempt to get the House to reverse the com mittees raport and throw Romeis out, but in this he will fail. The committee Is composed of a majority of Democrats and as they bare refused to say that Mr. nurd was elected the Democrats in the Hone will hardly repudiate their action. Mr. nurd is a prominent free trader, but is one of the most brilliant and eloquent men ia the couatry, Let him pick bis flint and try it over again with Romeis at the next November electioii. Ik the second volume of his book Mr. Blaine makes a very candid admission in regard to the passage of the Tenure-of-Office act in 1367, when Andrew John son was President, and its substantial repeal soon after General Grant's acces sion to power in 18G9. What Mr. Blaine says has a direct application to the present controversy between the Re publican majority in the United States Senate under tbe leadership of tbe Sen ator from Vermont, George F. Ed munds, and President Cleveland, touch ing tbe conetotional right of tbe latter to make removals from office without furnishing. the Senate with the papers -npon which the removals have been made. Mr. Blaine says: "casting off all political disguises and personal preten ses, the simple truth remains thai the Tennre-of-Offlee act was 'enacted lest President Johnson should, remove" Re publican office holders too rapidly, anl it was practicaly repealed lest President Grant should not remove Democratic office holders rapidly enough." The Republican Senators might as well throw off their disguises and admit that Ihey are attempting to deprive Mr, Cleveland of tbe power tbey conceded to Grant, Hayes, Garfield an Arthur. The AUoona Tribune whose'editor ia intensely fanatical on the temperance question and bt-litves in the exploded ' doctrine that dcankenesi can be abolish ed by a Constitutional prohibitory ' amendment, printed on Saturday last, of nnd concerning the President Judge of the courts of Cambria County and the in imls or the people thereof, the follow- , it'g: "When Hip people of Camhria Cnwatv eiwt ed Robert Ij. Johnston to preside over their ourts they invited trt shameful condition of affairs that has bofalten them. Perhaps the carnaval of drunkenes? and crime whlrh follows the wholesale lirersine of TumseUers may bring them to repentance. ' What a pity it is that the great moral reformer who presides over the Tribune hasn't a wider field in which to venti late his peculiar notions on the subject of license, as well as to"Rbel whole com- ' mnnities, than the narrow limits of Al- i toona and the coonty of Blair. He . kindly and considerately suggests in the the same number of bis paper from which the above mendacious paragraph is taken, that "The Democratic State Convention ought to nominate Hon. William McMullin for Governor." xn.s siupm siur at tne Democrats or the State is eminently charactaristic of the Tribune and invites a Roland for its 1 Oliver. The Democratic Convention will meet on the lftth of August and the Republicans, it is -?aid, will hold their Convention at an earlier date. If the latter body wants temperance re form and plenty of it as tbe main issue in the campaign, and will throw Gen eral Beaver overboaxd and then nomin ate the editor of the Tribune as its can didate, it may be possible, if not proba ble that the Democrats will take him at his word and put rrp "Bill" McMullin against him as a competitor worthy of his steel. While tbe result of the con test might be doubtful the race would certainly be interesting and exciting and the nuiversal shout would be "may the devil take tbe hindmost." The Johnstown Tribune whose editor is familiar with the license question in this county, as well before as sinee Judge Johnston's election, briefly dis poses of the malicious aspersions of its Altoona namesake upon the people of this connty and upon their President Judge, as follows: Juries Johnston'9 action on the liquor question has at least been guiltless of hy pocrisy and double tlfallnd. There never was any question how he stood on license before his election, and even before his nomination. Tie deceived nobody. If the Tribune wasn't blind It conld see that the state of affal's in this eonntv is not any dif ferent now from what It has been, in pro portion to population, for the last d-cade. and tbe "carnival of drunkenness and crime" Is i.ot greater than It is In Blair county. First take the mote out of vonr own eypa and then you will be in a condi tion to speak of your neighbors. After Governor Pattison and Atcor ney General Cassidy finished their ex amination of the Soldiers' Orphans' School at Mercer last week, they pro ceeded to the School at Dayton in the northern part of Armstrong County. This School was fund to be in better condition than any of the others they had visited, but was deficient in some esseutial particulars. From Dayton the Governor and party returned to Xittan ning and from there went by rail to Uniontown, Fayette County, within a few miles of which the Jumonvllle School Is located. This school has been under the management of Rev. A. II. Waters for the last twenty years and seems to be conducted in a manner im measurably superior to that of the Mt. Joy, McAUistervilleand Mercer schools. On Monday the Governor left Harris burg for the school at Mansfield, Tioea County, and from there would go to the school at Hanford, Susquehanna County, on Wednesday, which is the last school to be examined. A searching inquiry will next be made into the management of the Soldiers' Orphans' School Depart ment at Harrisbiirg. The testimony taken at the different schools that he has visited will be sent by the Governor to the next Legislature. In the meantime tbe people will expect Attorney General Cassidy to turn his special attention to Wright, Paul and Gordon, and if they can be crimmlnally purished either by common or statute law, that he will put the wheels of Justice in motion. The strike on what is known as Jay Gould's South-western system of rail roads running through several States and Territories still continues, and no man can tell how or when it will end. The freight business is almost paialyzed on the Missonri Pacific, the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, the Iron Mountain and Texas and Pacific railways. The Vice President of the roads refuses to confer with Mr. Powderly, who rep resents the Knights of Labor, the efforts of Governor Martin, of Kansas, and Governor Maraduke, of Missouri, have failed to effect a settlement, the Missou ri Pacific declines to treat with ar.v of the striking employees who belong to me ivmgiiis or AaDor, ana the latter an nounce that they will accept no terms , i. r . iiwuj mo vAimpany unless offered to them as members of that oiganization. This practical suspension of business on these important roads has resulted from the attempt of the Knights of Labor to reinstate one man who, for some reason was discharged at Marshal!, Texas. Tii1aii. n . , oet-neiaens is reacnea very soon the strike will spread, and, accord iug io ine aeciaratu.n of a member of the executive committee of the Kr.ights or xaoor, every freight train on every road running out of St. Louis and Chicago will be stopped. It is a most reprehensible state of affairs and a fear ful responsibility rests somewhere. According to the report of the sec retary of the interior, there are in all- men, women and children 200,000 In aians. They occupy 134,000,000 acres ot land. Counting five to a family there are 52.000 heads of families, or over z.ouu acres to each Indian family. .inese cni.dren of the forest have invest ed and uninvested funds amounting to $17,000,000. and tbey own another mil lion of acres of land, on the market, but not yet sold or paid for, and there must still be reckoned, their houses, . cattle ana crops, Congress annually appro priates for them for support and educa tion from $.5,000,000 to $7,000,000. , And yet with all this money expended, it is admitted that the present Indian system does not civilize, or educate or Chris tianize the Indians. Why is this thus ? KVimiTS OF LAROR AM) CHINESE. We are glad to And in the March num ber of the Ih-frV'irl Xwthhi r-f San Francisco an authoritative exp'anation of the views of the KnigVs of Ibir as to the Chinese labor ques'ion. togelipr with a detailed sttemfrt of reasons for their hostility to the Ch!n:i(H(-n in the United S'afes. The authnr is Mr. W. W. Smne. a m"r.tier of th order, and tt,e dele(;'e who no 1ng go intro-d-.icd in the California Di3trict Assem- j blv resolutions, which were almost unanimously adopted, reciting the evils conseqnent upon the introduction of such labor, and suesting radical remedial measures. It seems that the Knights of Labor in California have made a searching in vestigation into the industri il situation there as affected by Chinese labor, and that the reports of commitees sent out te gather statistics bearing on tbe sub ject have been embodied in a statement which Mr. S'one describes as both ex haustive and entirelv trustworthy. It was found that the cost of food for a Chinese laborer is about three dollars h month "when he is not looking after luxuries.1-' and that his rent, clothing and food come to only seven dollars a 1 month. "lie works, when he can, in I gangs, sleeps his nights through in a dismal den where he 'bunks.' and eats and wpar9 the cheap products of his own land." lie has no wife and no fami lT to support, and is willing to endure. any hardships during his comparatively brief sojourn here. The American workman, "who looks up a wife as soon as possible," expends fifty dollars a month to the Chinaman's seven, and to keep himself decently he can get alone on no less. The Chinaman therefore lowers the rate of wages in every em ployment into which he enters in com petition with the American. In 1S70 a few of the wholesale shoe factories in San Francisco taught some Chinamen to make boots and shoes. Up to that time wages averaged about $20 a week for skilful and rapid workers. Now over 6,000 Chinamen are employed in the trade, getting from ?20 to $30 a month, and the wages of white men are from $9 to $13 a week. Mentlme, too. Chinamen have become the owners of forty-eight out of the sixty boot and shoe factories in the city, while of tbe fifty slipper factories, not one is now owned by a white man In 1872 the Chinamen began to learn to make cigars. To day there are 8,000 Chinamen ia the trade to 400 white, and wages are only about one-third of what they were in 1870. In the manufacture of clothing 8,000 Chinamen to 1.000 whites are now employed, and the wages of the white worker have declined from $25 a week in 1S72 to $15 a week, the Asiatics receiving from $25 to $28 a ; month. The "hinamen tnolr ..f th I manufacture of underwear several years i ago, and, bv underbidding white sm- I stresses, they have now obtained almost 1 exclusive control of the imi,itrtr a ' so it is with many other departments of labor, the total number of Chinamen enzaed in all being 31,000, who send $8,000,000 annually out of this country. Ti.ese Chinamen are divided off into guilds, each guild being controlled by a central ana despotic authority, and it is a rare instance when members of c-n'lda are found working in the same shon Therefore they nre organized comneii tors of the white laborers, with whom they can contend on unequal terms, be cause of their lower scale of personal exi-riditure. The power of the Chinese guild was shown last year fn the case of a cigar tirm of San Francisco, which ' - ' - - I I V . ' , T 111.11 j undertook to get rid of its Chinese work- ' men and employ only white labor. In structed by their 'eader3, the who'e force of Chinamen stopped work and went out on strike, and it was this exhibition of their organization which seems to have drawn the attention of the Knights of Labor more especially to the dangers involved in the competition. They felt that they must meetorganiza tion with organization, and accordingly called a mass meeting on the first of last October to arouse tbe workingmen, and to gain public sympathy and encourage ment: Between five and six thousand people gathered inside the hall, and out- 1 side the street was packed. As the re- ! pult of that meeting the whole Pacific coast, in Mr. Stone's words, was electro fied, nnd "Los Gatos, Eureka, Mer-do- ! cino, Truckee, Seattle, and other places j began t(? talk of the advisability of ' expelling the Chii.ese." I Th? ground the Kr.ightsof lalxr take ; is that the Chinamen here are snlmtn. ! tially serfs, and that it is impossible f,ir the free labor to compete with them. "Their success in driving out of the market all white competitors in the sev eral branches of trade," says Mr, Stone, "shows the Janger to the perpetuity of onr republican form of government aris ing from a consent on our part to contin ue the unequal competition." Mr Powderly, tbe General Master Workman of the Knights of Labor, expresses his entire agreement with this sentiment, and in a report on the subject of Chinese labor presented by hi in to the General Assembly declares that "nine tenths of tbe people on the Pacific coast, and of the country, in fact, re opposed to the importation of tbe Chinese under any conditions whatever. The entire order," he concludes, "must act as one man in this movement." Mr. Powderly makes no defence of the late violent assaults on the Chinamen saying that "they were not to be blamed ; they were but the instruments in tbe hands of men who sought to degrade American free labor;" but he warns Congress that "nothing short of the en actment of just laws and a full and im partial enforcement of the same will prevent other and far more terrible scenes of blood shed and destruction." 'lhs Chinese question, it will be seen, is one which inflames the indignation of American labor generally. X. Y.Sun Fabulous Prices for Madstoneg.

A . correspondent asks -what is the "Historv of the Soldiers' Orphans Schools" mentioned in tbe 77e Record of Friday. Abor.t trn years nsn Mr. James J, ran!, then a clerk in the Or- ntvQna' Mrlmnl TVonnrtmerit. find now a member of the "Sqneers Syndicate," conceived tbe brilliant Idea of writing a t "His orv of the Soldiers' Orphai Schools of Pennsylvania." GiMmn re lates that Ihe idea of writing bis immor tal work etarted in his mind as be 'sit musing amidst the ruins of the Capitol, while the barefooted friars were singing vespers in the Temp'e of Jupiter." As Paul sat Hi bis desk in the Pennsylvania Capitol he mnsd on the best wav in which he could tnrn the soldiers' or phans to personal account, and th hop of an appropriation iagpired him. ' He had witnessed the liberality with which the Pennsylvania Legislature patronizes literarv enterprise, especially when stim ulated by a printing ring, acd he made his history. The book, containing 500 pages, consists mainly of official lists of the soldiers' orphans, with the dates of their admission and discharge, inter spersed with brief descriptions of the schools. On the back of tbe book are the pic tures of two of the orphans, a bov nnd a girl. The girl has a hat in her hand and the hoy wears a pair of new shoes, quite different from the samples exbih ited at Mt. Joy. The tit'e pare bears this quotation from Jeremy Tavlor : "God is pleased with no mnsic below so much as the thanksgiving pones of re lieved widows, of supported orphans." In his dedication the author says: "I Dedicate this "Volume to the Fatherless Children of my Fallen Comrades, as a Token of Fsteem for the Living and a Tribute of Remembrance for the Dead." How well he took care of the fatherless children and remembered the dead is witnessed only too vividly fn the recent materials of a new Historv of the Sol diers' Orphans, not written by James L. rani. For his history Paut applied for and actually obtained from the Legisla ture an appropriation of $10 000 for an edition of 5000 volumes. At first the Legislature sturdily resisted the demand but buncombe appeals to patriotism final ly got the better of its good sense. A more worthless and impudent excuse for book making than this alleged history could not be imaeined. But the annro- prialion and the services which Paul was capable of rendering as a clerk in the Soldiers' Orphans' School Depart ment enabled bim to become a member of the "Sqneers Syndicate." with the re pnlts already recorded.

The site, sixty five acres in extent, just outside the northern border of Washington City, has already been purchased, and the Board of Trustees will probably begin the erection of buildings next summer. An elephant that had been hrourht to Hamburg by some Cingalese lare'y showed signs of furious delirium. An E::a!lsh sportsman, who had previously offered 1.000 marks for the privilege of despatching an elephant with his rifle, was snmmoned by telegraph, but his ardor cooled when he confronted the enraged beast, and he de clined to shoot. Strangulation was then re sorted to, chains that were passed around tbe elephant's neek being drawn tight by means of a tackle. It took 10 minutes to kill tbe animal in this way. A horrible double murder was commit ted on Bsck Creek, Roanoke county, Va., on Wednesday night of last week. A man named liriffey, who has a wife living on Back Creak, has just returned from Texas, where, it is alleged, he served a term in the penitentiary. His wife refused lo recognize him, and learning that John and Pickett Metz. sons of Mr. Woo. Metz, had been vis iting his wife In his absence, Griffey went to their home, called one of tbe young men out and shot him throueh the heart. He then entered the house and shot the other young man through the right breast. Previous to the war a colored man, now living in Norfolk, Va., and then a slave. purchased his freedom from his owner, agreeing to give $1,300 for the chattel pro-1 perty. When President Lincoln's emanci pation proclamation was issued the former slave bad paid 800 of bis indebtedness, and Blnce that time, by his daily labor, be has accumulated, dollar by dollar, and paid over to his former owner the remaining fSOO, and now he Is a freeman indeed. The sense of honor was stronger in bis mind than the law of the UDlted States by which he was manumitted, and he set an example followed by few. His name, wulch deserves to be , recorded everywhere, ia Johu Billups. i GREAT REGULATOR t A IT' I r-FyMELY VECGTAULL. i ATE YOU- 151 J t j futUlseur.

Bilious symptoms invar iably arise from indigestion, such as i furred tongue.vomiting-of bile, j giddiness, sick headache, ir- : regular bowels. The liver se cretes the bile and acts like a 1 filter 6r sieve, roclennss i.n pu rities of the blood. Tv irresru- : larity in its action or suspen sions of its i'ui.ctions, the bile is liable to ovcrllo'.v into the blood, causingjaun dice, sallow complexion, yellow eyes, bil ious diarrhaa, a languid, weary feeling and many other distressing symptoms. Bilious ness may be properly termed an affection of the liver, and can be thoroughly cured by the grand regulator of the liver and biliary organs, BURDOCK BLOOD BITTERS. Act upon the stomach, bowels and liver, making healthy bile and pure blood, and opens the culverts and sluiceways for the outlet of disease. Sold everywhere and guaranteed to cure.
