FRIDAY. APRIL 1886.
It was Kenj-imiri Franklin who said :

The troubles on the different railways
running Into St. Louis culminated in a
bloody drama on last Friday afternoon
in TlLsl St. Louis, which is directly
across the Mississippi river in Illinois.
It seems that the Louisville and Nash
ville railroad, which terminates at East
St. Louis, had hired in Loaisville and
brousthi to t he former place a rnmber
of men armed with Winchester rifles
to protect their property, guard the
.ail road crossings and save outgoing
trains from anticipated annoyance and
detention. A good deal of excitement
IT IS URATfAS'S FARLIAMEXT
It is estimated that there are about
twelve thousand surviving soldiers and
sailors of the Mexican war, including
the widows, and that under the Mexi
can Tension bill, if it passes me senate
and becomes a law. the annual demand
or. the Treasury will b between a mil
lion and a million and a half of dollars.
Essentially the bill proposed by Mr.
Gladstone yesterday is a downright re
peal of the Act of Union carried by Pitt
at the begiunin of the century. H in
vokes no sweeping changes of the Brit
ish Constitution. It copies neither the
political syrtem of the United States
nor the scheme constructed for the Can
adian Dominion. It reverts to the state
ot things coveted by Irish patriots in
172. It gives back to Ireland her an

Hoard of Aldeimen have been arrested
on charges of bribery in connection with
granting the franchise to the New York
Droadway Railroad, in 184. Another
member of the board has turned state's
evidence, and three others have left the
city for parts unknown. Ten of the
arrests were made on last Tuesday
evening.
Four young boys in Philadelphia
whose ages range from eleven to thir
teen years, who had read a good deal
about General Hancock and felt proud
of him as a Pennsylvanian, organized a
penny museum one day last week iii
the back yard of No. 283o Harper street
ard collected J0.75 from their playmates
and nklei uersons. which they handed
over to the treasurer of the fund in that
city for the benefit of General Hancock's
widow. It was a youthful but noble
tiibute to the memory of the gallant
Hancock.
the public peace. Nine deputy sheriffs,
aa these armed men are styled in the
accounts of the affair, were guarding a
coal train at a crossing near which a
crowd of men and boys as well a, several
women were congregated, when, as the
deputy sheriffs allege, some stones were
thrown at them from the crowd, at
which they opened fire upon them, kill
ing six men and one woman, and
seriously, if not fatally, wounding
another man. The story about the
throwing of the stones is positively de- I
died by persons who were there and
could have seen it had it occcurred, and
all the testimony since taken shows that
it is not true. The persors killed wert
neither strikers nor Knights of Labor,
but were mechanics and laboring men,
and were attracted to the spot out of
mere curloeit to see what was going
on. The shooting was unprovoked and
unjustifiable in every aspect of theaffaii,
but is just what might have been ex
pected to take place when loaded rifles
are placed in the hands of a set of hired
and reckless men. Eight of the depu
ties who did the shooting were promptly
arrested. Quite a number of railroad
cars were burned on Friday night, but
since then everything has been quiet.
Tdk terms for which many of the
officials suspended by President Cleve
land were originally appointed having
expirsd. he has decided to withdraw the
nominations originally made to succeed
them and renominate the same persons
to fill the vacancies, so as to remove
them from the jurisdiction of the Re
publican caucus, and leave the Senate
without an excuse to reject them. The
lonjr lift of nominations sent to th?
Senate on Friday was almost entirely
composed of this class of cases, and the
several heads of departments are exam
ining the records for others to be treated
in the same way.
Tiik question of silver dollar coinage
which has been the subject of a vast
amount of windy discussion during the
present session of Congress, was finally
disposed of on yesterday week by leav
ing the coinage where it is now. TLe
bill for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver dollars was defeated by a vote of
120 yeas to IGo nays, and the bill to sus
pend the coinage of silver dollars after
July 1, IPSO, was defeated by the deci
sive vote of 201 nays to S4 ayes. The
vote against the latter bill was mainly
cast by the members from the Western
and Southern States, and the vote in
favor of suspension came almost wholly
from the Middle and Eastern States.
The free coinage bill received the votes
of three members from this State, viz. :
P.rumm, Curtia and White, and twenty
members of the delegation voted against
It. Five members. Campbell. Jackson,
Kel!, Negley and Storm, were absent
or did not vote.
The most important case that has
ever ben considered by the Board of
1'ardoDS of this State will come up for
consideration at its next meeting, which
will take place on Tuesday next. It is
that of Milton Weston, a wealthy citi
zen of Chicago, who was interested in
the Murraysville, Westmoreland coun
ty, natural gas wells, where a
riot occurred a couple of years ago be-1
tween rival claimants to the property .
and their employes, resulting in the I
death of a man named Haymaker, for
whose murder Weston was indicted in
Westmoreland county and upon being
subsequently tried in Allegheny county,
the case having been removed to that
jurisdiction, was convicted of man
slaughter, and is now serving a term in
the Western Penitentiary. Petitions
will be laid before the Board asking for
Weston's release signed by the Gover
nors of Illinois and Iowa, all the Con
gressmen and United States Senators
from the former State, hundreds of the
leading business men of Chicago, four
Congressmen from Pennsylvania, the
Mayors of Pittsburg and Allegheny, the
Sheriff of Allegheny county, and the en
tire jury by whom the case was tried.
Eminent conns,! from Chicago, Titts-
burg and Philadelphia will be present at
the hearing.
CONGRESSMAN A. C. WHITE, Of this
State, who resides in Brookville, has in
troduced a bill into the House provid
ing for the survey of a route for a ship
canal from somewhere In Venango
county to Lake Erie, the canal to be of i
sufficient depth and width to accommo
date vessels in transporting iron ore and
other freight between the lake mention
ed and the Allegheny river. This is one
of the many visionary and useles?
schemes that are rpgularly foisted upon
the House for the purpose of squander
dering millions of the public money and
getting the name of its projector into
the newspapers and establishing his
claim to profound and far-seeing states
manship. White's proposed canal, like
the famous project of Harry White
when he represented the same dis
trict, to slack water the Kiskiminetas
and Conemaugh livers, would, of
course, benefit the people along its line
while it was being constructed, but like
the slackwater humbug It would be a
fraud and a swindle upon the treasury,
and therefore upon the people of the
whole country. The day for construct
ing State canals by the National Gov
ernment has passed away, neverthe
less, as two Congressmen from the
Twenty-fifth district by the name of
White have shown their hands on the
subject of river and canal improvements
by the general Government, in North
western Pennsylvania, it would seem to
be the proper thing to do to retire the
present White at the end of this Con
gress, and if the dtstrict contains anoth
er White who is thirsting after fame
and an appropriation, he should be given
a chance to see how far he can surpass
his two predecessors in the slackwater
and ship canal business. Let there be a
trio of Whites from the Twenty-fifth
district.
The House of Representatives passed
a labor arbitration bill on Saturday by
the decisive vote of 195 yeas to 29 nays.
bloodv ' l cannot be doubted that the principle of
I , a t t m a. a. a, J M J
Hon. WfLLiAM E. Fokstkr, a con
spicuous figure in English politics a few
years ago, died In London early last
nm-u. in the sixty-elghtt yeai of his
age. He was the wall known former
Chief Secretary of Ireland under Mr.
Gladstone and the author of the repres
sion measures against that country at
the Parliamentary session of 1881. It
was at his instance that Father Sheedy
and John Dillon were arrested in the
dimmer of that year and sent to Kil
tnainham Prison, Dublin, where tl ry
were followed in the following October
by rarnell. William O'Brien, editor of
United Irdind., Sexton and O'Kelly.
Foister resigned his office in 1882 in
consequence of Mr. Gladstone's nw
policy of conciliation towards Ireland.
He was called "Buckshot" Forster be
cause he advocated the substitution of
buckshot cartridges for the usual ball
cartridges used by the Irish constabu
lary, lt was Forster who in a speech in
Parliament attacking the Land League,
gave Parnell the titleof the "Un crown
ed King of Ireland." He was a man of
grtat decision of character and possessed
abilities of a very high oider, but he
prostituted them in his advocacy of the
most vindictive and coercive legislation
against Ireland, for whose people te
smed to have no mercy, notwithstand
ing the fact that he was the son of an
English Quaker. It is said that hla
last words were "No Home Rule."
arbitration is the correct method of ad
justing the numerous labor disputes that
are of constant recurrence throughout
the country. It affords all the parties to
the controversy a fair and equal show,
and if entered into with an honest pur
pose to arrive at jost and equitabU con
clusion, its decisions in the hands of
competent and upright men ought to be
conclusive. This bill, however, seems
to be of very little account. Employes
and employers can now do the very
thing that the proposed bill will enable
them to do. It is the simplest thing in
the world for Congress to pass au act
providing for arbitration when both
parties are willing to arbitrate. What
is wanted, however, is a law that will
make the parties willing, and that will
provide for carrying the award of the
arbitrators into effect. If a statesman
can be found who is able to frame such
an act, all men will rise up and call him
blessed. The only merit in the present
bill cousists in the fact that it is an ex
pression by Congress in favor of the
principle of arbitration. It thereby
carries with it a moral force, even
though it may not exert any practical
effect, and to that extent its passage
may have a beneficial tendency.
it rnnti ata ntrnrk in Irish history, and
its fruits of self-help and self -discipline
should answer Irish aspiration.
No more conclusive answer could be
given to the charge that Mr. Gladstone
is a theorist and policy-monger, but no
statesman, than his refusal in this cris
is to accept any of the nostrums of the
Constitution tinkers or to diverge from
the broad lines of political relationship
which up to the Act of Union had re
mained in principle unbroken, though
long defaced and overlaid by England's
imnmntion of a vto on Irish legislation.
Grattan always contended that these
lines, in Poyning's act wer brushed aside
nni the Dublin Parliment itself were
reconstructed on a basis of religious
equality and a liberalized franchise,
would be found the right foundations
on which to build an Irish nation self
governing and yet observant of its du
ties to the Britisn empire. Such was
his firm faith, and, his countrymen be
nv Rnch would have been the fact.
had not the emancipated Farliment
been prematurely swept away. It is
Mr. Gladstone's conviction, as he told
the House of Commons yesterday, that
for all the suffering and crime in Ire
land the Act of Union Is primarily res
ponsible, and therefore he asks the
British people, by repealing that bad
law, to restore to Ireland the instru
ment of self -amelioration whicn was
forged by Irish hands.
An attemnt to eive Ireland State
lights patterned on the American mod
el would have involved the retention of
Irish members in the Parliament at
Westminster, which, it will be noticed,
forms no part of Mr. Gladstone's plan.
Their exclusion does, undoubtedly, to
some extent involve the principle of
taxation without representation, for not
only will Ireland have to bear her share
of the cost of wars, in beginning orend
ing which she will have no voice, but
she will also have to pay iu the pro
portion of 1 to 15 her quota of interest
on the Dublic debt, although that debt
undoubtedly may be increased by out
lay for English or Scotch purposes. It
seems that an effort should be made in
committee to modify the Home Rule
bill in these particulars, so as to pro
vide some safeguards against imposing
weighty burdens on Ireland's resources
without her consent. For obviously in
the event of a protracted war or of the
application to England of the Chamber
lain land municipalization scheme, Ire
land's fifteenth might be swollen to a
sum much exceeding Mr. Gladstone's
present computation.
The relation of Ireland to the British
empire under the Gladstone Repent bill
will differ broadly from that of the Can
adian Dominion. The Dublin Govern
ment will not have the right to levy
customs, such duties beinz fixed and
collected by the imperial administra- i
tion, in trust, however, to pay over the
proceeds to the Irish exchequer, after
reserving the amount necessary to make i
good Irish obligations. It would, as )
we have often pointed out, be an im-
possibility to obtain from a Biitish Par- J
liament, "reflecting, as it does, the will
of the British manufacturers, the sanc
tion of Ireland'? right, abstractly per
fect, to tax goods imported from Great
Britain. Mainly on this ground we
have supposed that Mr. Gladstone might
be forced to follow an American rather
than a Canadian precedent. As we see.
he has followed neither, and it may be
that Irish patriots, recognizing the
tremendous difficulties of his position,
will consent to waive an important leg
islative function, notwithstanding their
exclusion from the imperial customs
levying body. But this, too, is a pro
vision which may be altered in commit
tee, where the proposition to leave also
the Irish constabulary under the impe
rial command is certain to be strenu
ously opposed. And as Mr. Gladstone
admitted that the retention of the po
lice under the Viceroy was only intend
ed to be temporary, he would uot proba
bly be sorry to see his measure ameded
on that point.
There is another feature of the bill
which will provoke a good deal of dis
cussion, we refer to trie curious insti
tution (copied apparently from the
Norwegian Storthing) of two orders
which are to sit and vote for the most
part in one chamber, but of which one
is to possess a power of transient veto
on the action of the other. The object
of this provision plainly was to afford a
pretext for the ejection of the represent
ative Irish 1'eers from St. Stephen's,
and to console them with life seats in a
kind of Senate which should seem a
partial restitution of the old Irish
House of Lords. But this element of
Grattan's Parliament is an anachro
nism, and would not long survive the
English upper house, which is itself in
undisguised decrepitude.
It must, indeed, be understood that
Mr. Gladstone is giving, not all he
would, but all he can. If in this first
draft he did not take every precaution
to disarm resistance and distrust, his
bill would never get as far as the com
mittee stage. But whatever transfor
mation or whatever fate awaits this
measure, the fact of its introduction is
a tremendous gain for Ireland. The
Act of Union cannot stand, now that
its repeal has been demanded by a
Trime Minister who rides to his place
amid hosaunas, by a man acclaimed
lord paramount of his country's heart
and conscience. JV. Y. Sua Aril 9.
The Slate finances.
If the report of State Treasurer Liv
sey for the year 1SS5 demonstrates any
thing clearly, it is that the estimates of
fiscal officers as to the income to the
State from given revenue laws are of no
value whatever. The estimates for the
TPnrl fund of the State for the year
were f4.475.500. The actual receipts
were $6,362,522.92, or more than forty
ner cent, above the estimate. This
' J . 1 wtvlr
large increase occurrea unuer iuc w wir
ings of the old law, which had been in
force in its maiu features for years.
An esimate under the new law, which
is being fought in the courts at many
nninta. would be still more unreliable.
The condition or toe ovate ueui, wnj
be said to be very satisfactory. The to
ial interest-bearing debt is placed at
$17,814,800. Aa an offset the State
holds in its smRing runa, railway nu
governments bonds to the amount of
$S,000.000. leaving the net debt about
$10,000,000. As this . indebtedness is
being decreased under the present laws
at the rate of three quarters of a mill
ion yearly, the Commonwealth may
confidently look forward to being clear
of debt in a short time if the present
policy is maintained as it should be.
The danger that the debt will not con
tinue tn decrease as raDidlv as the con
dition of the Stat finances warrant lies
in the constantly growing tendency to
appropriate money for alleged charita
ble purposes. Treasurer Livsey has
classified the expenditures under exist
ing laws for the current year, snowing
that for schools, common, orphan and
normal, $1,534,000 will be required ; for
charities, penitentiaaies and care of in
sane, $1,425,000, and for the National
Guard, Geological Survey, pensions and
gratuities and Mercantile Appraisers
$342,000 will be necessary, makinp a to
tal of $3,32G,000 required for these pur
poses, as against $007,700 for the routine
expenses of the State government. The
latter, estimate includes Judicial, Exec
utive and Mine Inspectors' salaries,
public printing and the necessary expen
ses of maintaining public buildings and
grounds. Philadelphia Times;

A Preacher's Tribute To Gen. IJancock.
Dr. John R. Paxton, pastor of the
West Presbyterian church, of this city,
paid a brief but eloquent tribute on
Sunday last to the memory of his old
commander, the late General Hancock.
Preaching from the text, "She hath
done what she could." he said at the
close of his sermon : "They buried
yesterday my old commander the ideal
soldier the pure patriot the noblest
man the stainless name gentle as a
woman, with a voice low and caressing
as love in the camp and at the fireside,
but heroic as Cid, and with a voice of
thunder In the battle to inspire and
command. And I shall see his facej no
more. But while life lasts be will live in
my memory, admiration and love as the
trrandest figure I ever saw. 'I once saw
Washington, said Chateaubriand, 'but
that once was enough. The sight in
spired me for life.' For three years I
followed him from Fredericksburg to
Appomattox my heru, lofty and sub

naUiots. but richer in treasured memo-
' riea and immortal names. Glorious

And on his tombstone write, 'He did

to his country a stainless name, an un-

the whole system is de- j

CONSTIPATION!
There is no medium through which
disease so often attacks the system
as by Constipation, and there is no
other ill flesh is heir to more apt to
be neglected, from the fact material
inconvenience may not be immediate
ly felt from Irregular action of the
bowels. When there is not regular
action the retention of decayed and
effete matter, with its poisonous ;
gases, soon poisons the whole system
by being absorbed into it, causing
piles, fistula, headache, impure blood
and many other serious affections.
BURDOCK BLOOD BITTERS will
Immediately relieve, and one bottle ,
positively cure or relieve any case j
of Constipation. !

THIS PAPER
NEW YORK.
PALMS
It bas long been a matter of sincere
regret and expostulation that successive
legislatores nave failed to enact such gen
eral laws as may be necessary to make
effective every part of Article XVII of
the state constitution relating to rail
roads and canals, inis incongruous
state of affairs is to be rectified bv a
committee of twelve taken equally from
both political organizations. The Dem
ocrats of the committee are : Hon. C.
11. Buckalew, ex-U. S. senator, F. 15.
Gowen, Hon. A. G. Curtin, ex-eovern-
er, Hon. Lrwis C. Cassidy, attorney
general, Hon. Mortimer F. Elliott, ex-congressman-at-large,
Hon. James P.
Rarr, I'ittsburg 1'ont. The Republican
list will include the following : Hon.
Henry W. Palmer, ex-attorney general
Hon. John M. Uroomall. ex-jndge and
M. C, Hon. George N. Corson, Norris
town, Hon. D. N. White. Sewickley
ville, Hon. Ievi Rooke, Winfield, Un
ion county, Hon. J. W. M. Newl:n,
Philadelphia. This organizaton will
name no candidates and will endorse no
political party and will favor do indi
vidual, but will content itself with is
suing an address to the people, setting
forth the necessity for legislative com
pliance with tbe constitutional mandate
and urging voters to support those can-dia-.es
who will publicaly pledge them
selves to their constituents to remain in
session nutil the necessary legislation is
perfected. It is a worthy object that is
sought and should receive the support
of the sincere men of all parties. Lan
caster Intdli'jtnccr.
We should have better preaching If the
preacners were all sound and heaitny men.
Calvin may have had the dyspepsia, but lt
did him no good as a theoleglan. A Metho
dist minister, of Hartford, Conn., writes
that Dr. Kennedy's "Favorite Remedy"
rured him of chronic liver disease and In
digestion. His brethern of all denominations
are respectfully invited to note the fact
bick preachers are in poor condition to pro
claim the gospel news. Sound bodies are
wanted.
The State authorities ot Texas are pro
ceeding against cattlemen who have leased
and propose to fence in public school lands.
"uozens or letters a day pour in upon
Dr. David Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y.
from people who have been benefitted by
using his popular preparation called Ken
nedy's 'Favorite Remedy.' And they often
Illustrate what this remarkable medicine ac
complishes in some new and hitherto untried
field of operation. Not Infrequently patients
come long distances to grasp the Doctor by
the hand and express their gratitude for de
liverance from pain.' Troy, (N. T.) Daily

ihirty-two men and 140 women are

programs. Last year, when Mr. Ilntchlson
had occasion to make a business affidavit,
he swore that In IA&5 tbe money taken In by
the circas araoantej to (1,038.900 Tbe high
est daily receipts were $17,200, during a Bos
ton engagement, when in a week, it took in
184,000 ; In a week at Philadelphia, ?81,000 ;
in ten days at Chicago, $119,000.
A tramp, supposed to be Abraham Or
tbeine, en route from Chicago to Philadel
phia, had a narrow escape from death a few
days ago. He was in a box car, the door of
whlck was locked. Some cotton In the car
took fire, but the smok" was cot discovered
nntil the train was near Grapeyille, West
moreland county. There the car was open
ed. The tramp, who was badly burned,
jumped out, aud bas not been seen since,
Ills name was discovered on some letters in
an old valise found In tbe car.
Tbe toughest nut that the Poet Office
Department has to crack Is to prevent the
boycotting of tha new fourth class postmas
teis by the friends of thos who have been
removed. Almost every day a rase is re
ported to the Second Assistant Postmaster
General where tbe new postmaster la almost
entirely deprived of bis fees by his political
rivals in the town, who sell stamps at their
stores and collect letters from the people to
be mailed on the railway trains. As the
Postmasters are paid b? tbe number of
stamps they cancel, tbe new appointees find
it to be a very unprofitable business.
