Rev. Avoustus Fcltox, the only
colored student ever sent from the Uni
ted State9 to the Propaganda in Rome,
has been ordained and will ehortly re
turn to this country to lake charge of a
Catholic church In New Orleans.
IIkvrt W. Jaehse, the New York
Alderman who was convicted of taking
a 120, (X0 bribe in 1884, was sentenced
on yesterday week to nine years and
ten months imprisonment in the Sing
lng penitentiary. The trial of another
Alderman for the same offense at the
same time will begin in a few days.
Thk Public Ledjcr, of Philadelphia,
an able, independent paper, gives Mr.
Clevelaud the following strong endorse
ment : President Cleveland seem9 to
have succeeded remarkably well In se
lecting appointees to office whom the
Senate could not reasonably reject, and,
In spite of the Edmunds resolution, it
is stated that the Senate has rejected
only thirteen out of 1,700 nominations.
If the thirteen were unfit men, the pres
ident Is no doubt obliged to the Senate
for having discovered the fact, for he Is
evidently trying to do his duty In the
matter of securing honest and capable
employees of the government.
Mrs. Sutton is postmistress at Somer
set, Tt.; Bhe Is large Bnd has fiery red
liair, with alJ the peculiarities of temper
usually Bupposad to accompany that
"kind of head gear. She has planted the
postoffice box close to her kitchen stove
and Insists on locking the house and go
ing visiting just when she pleases. The
people have tried all sorts of ways to
expedite the mails, but she Insists that
two days in the week is enough time to
keep the postoffice open. Postal Inspec
tor Lamson tried to explain the require
ments of the service to her, and is re
ported to consider himself lucky that he
escaped without having his head broken.
Tite recent outbreak in Chicago has
revealed to the Anarchists that they
constitute but a very small portion of
the people of this country, and that
their bept policy at this moment Is to
keep their mouths shut. It has also
shown the American people the absolute
need of Amending our immigration law
eo as to afford us soma protection against
the undisciplined and lawless hordes
who are turning their eyes in this direc
tion. It has demonstrated, too, that
there is such a thing as a sentimental
devotion to the theory of freedom of
speech which may result In great harm
to the community in which incendiary
speech making is permitted and protect
ed. We lately made mention of the fact
that an Illinois soldier in the Mexican
war had presented to the Governor of
that State, to b placed In the Spring
field museum, a wooden leg which he
alleged had been lost by Santa Anna
when that gentleman was suddenly
compiled to escape in his carriage from
the battlefield of Cerro Gordo. Mr. F.
r. Abercrombie, of Philadelphia, now
Claims that he has In his possession the
genuine Santa Anna wooden leg, which
he says was brought home from Mexico
by General Robert Patterson, of that
city, who participated In the battle re
ferred to. Abercrombie pronounces the
Illinois timber a fraud. lint Santa
Anna may have had two legs moat
men have.
Bad spelling sometimes proves to be
a barrier to a man's political prospects
although it never seriously interfered
with the success in that lin of tbe late
John Covode, of Westmoreland county,
of blessed memory. Its latest victim is
one Hanlon, an Internal Revenue Col
lector In Indiana, whose nomination
was rejected the other day by the
United States Senate, because when
registering at a hotel in Indianapolis
he spelled daughter, "douter." This
was a just and humane verdict, and if
the Senate poaesded the power it ought
to have sent him to the penitentiary for
at least one year, having first supplied
him with a copy of Wordsworth's dic
tionary, in the study of which he could
pass away his time.
The President on Monday sent to the
Penate four vetoes of private pension
bills. In each case ho states that the
applications were rejected by the Pen
sion Bureau, and that the evidence that
the applicants are entitled to pensions
for disability Incurred while In the ser
vice, is insufficient. This is a healthy
sign that when he comes to deal with
the wholesale tension bills, of Blair,
Logan A Co., Mr. Cleveland will be ex
acting as to their justice and merits.
Of all the bills that come before Con
gress none are so proliflc In bringing
demagogues to the front as pension
bills. There are Ova or six Republican
and one Democratic candidate for Pres
ident In the Senate, and no pension bill,
no matter how extravagant or uncalled
for, has yet failed to receive their un
qualified eupjx)rt.
Gbnekal Durbin Ward, a brave
man and a Democrat In whom there
was no guile, died at his home in Leba
non, Ohio, on Saturday last, in the
eixty-eighth year of his age. He was a
lawyer and from 1843 to 1840 was in
partnership with the well known Tom
Corwln, the greatest stump speaker that
the Western country ever produced. In
1PC1 he enlisted as a private in an Ohio
regiment, was afterward made Major,
and soon commanded a brigade under
General Thomas. He was mustered out
of the service on account of a disabling
wound received at the battle of C'hick-
amangua, but he had the order revoked
and went through the Atlanta campaign
under Sherman, with his arm in a sling.
He was a State Senator and a member
of the Ohio House of Representatives,
thiee times a candidate for Congress In
hopelessly Republican districts, a candi
date for U. S. Senator ia 1878 and again
In 1?84, and in two Democratio State
conventions he fell only a few votes
short of blng nominated for Governor.
No inau ia Ohio enjoyed In a higher
degree the reaped and esteem of the
people of that State, than the brave old
hero f Chi;kaujciiigua, Durbic Ward.
The Altoona daily Times entered
upon the third year of its publication
on Friday last, "with," as its editor
states, "the reasonable expectation of a
long life of prosperity in the future."
Mr. McPike's numerous friends in Cam
bria will be gratified to learn that he
has surmounted the difficulties and per
plexities which always attend the ex
periment of starting a daily newspaper,
and that the future success of the Times
is assured.
Mns. Alicb Ket Pendleton, wife
of George II. Pendleton, United States
Minister to Germany, was instantly
killed a week ago yesterday afternoon
in Central Park, New York city, and
her daughter, Jennie, was severely
wounded. They were eDjoying a ride
through tl Park in an open carriage
driven by an experienced driver, when
the horse becoming frightened ran off
and Mrs. Pendleton and her daughter
jumped out of the carriage with the fa
tal result above stated. Mrs. P. was the
daughter of Francis Scott Key, the au
thor of "The Star Spangled Banner'
and was Gl years of age. She had only
recently returned to this country from
Berlin on a visit.
General John A. Logan at the
close of his book draws a picture of
what would be the astonishment of
Abraham Lincoln if he could return to
earth and find "that those who sought
to ruin tbe nation had wrongfully usurp
ed Its rule ; that free trade, after run
ning a muck of panic and disaster from
the birth of the Republic to the out
break of the rebellion, with whose fail
ure it should naturally have expired,
was now reanimated and standing de
fiantly threatening all the great Indus
tries of our land." Even if either of
these two things were true, as they are
not, there is a fact that would be
enough to frighten "Old Abe," as he
was called, out of his boots, and that
would be to know that John A. Logan
la seriously talked of in Borne sections of
the country as an available candidate
for the Presidency.
The death is announced of another
Irishman who achieved distinction in
fighting the battlesjof some other coun
try where his lot happened to be cast.
It is that of Patrick Lynch, Vice Ad
miral cf the Chilian Navy. He was
bred to the sea and several years ago
when the war between Chill on the one
side and Peru and Bolivia on the other
broke out, he was given the command
of a small army which he led into Peru,
conquering all before him, entering
Lima, the Capital, and sending the
Peruvian President a prisoner to Chill.
While in command of the army of Occu
pation he gave Peru the best govern
ment it had known for a long time. He
went from Chili as Minister to Spain in
1884 and died at eea while on his return
to Chili to take the post of Minister to
Peru. His father, an Irishman, was a
merchant in the city of Santiago where
Patrick was born in 1825, his mother
being a Chilian woman. His career Is
another illustration of the fact that
wherever an Irishman goes, he or his
sons will attain a front rank, and the
more surely so if there are any military
campaigns to be fought.
Tiirc Washington correspondent of the
New York Wvrll says : "A report of
the House Committee on Tublic Lands
gives an incomplete list of the vast es
tates owned in this country by non
residents. Among these foreign owners
of lauds in the United States are the
Holland Company in New Mexico,
4.."J,000 acres ; an English syndicate in
Texas, 3,000.000 acres ; Sir Edward
Rpid and a syndicate in Florida, 2,000,
000 acres ; an English syndicate In Mis
sissippi, 1.8U),oOO acres ; the Marquis
of Tweedale, 1.750,000 acres; Phillips,
Marshall A Co., London, 1,300,000
acres ; a German syndicate, 1,000,000
acres ; Lord Dunmore, 120.000 acres ;
Dundee Land Company 217,000 acres,
and Lord Dunraven, in Colorado, 00,000
acres. The total amount of land held
by twenty-nine alien companies and in
dividuals is over 20,000,000 acres. Some
of the large tracts of land owned by
non-residents in Colorado, Arizona and
New Mexico have been converted into
sheep ranges. The owner! have their
shepherds and enjoy In London and
Paris the profits of sheep raising on
their vast American estates. A great
deal of protectionist sympathy has been
expressed in behalf of these alien sheep
raisers lest they should be ruined by a
repeal of the duty on wool. The Inter
ests of American woolen and worsted
manufacturers and weavers appear to be
a matter of minor consideration."
Georoe II. Imes, a reputable colored
school teacher who resides in the vicini
ty of Ilarrisburg, announce? himself as
a candidate for the nomination of Lieutenant-Governor
at the approaching
Republican State Convention. In his
address announcing his candidacy he
says he is in receipt of letters from dif
ferent parts of the State asking him to
become a candidate, and that "it is urged
in the name of loyalty to the cause of
Republican principles everywhere." If
Imes lived in the South and was a Dem
ocrat, as many of the educated colored
people In that section are, his ambition
to hold office might be gratified, but he
will be as old as one of the numerous
body servants of George Washington
who are occasionally heard of, before he
will ever see a colored man nominated
for Lieutenant-Governor or any other
State offlce by the Republicans of Penn
sylvania. It is a very common thing
for the Democrats In the South to elect
colored men of their party lo the Legis
lature and sometimes to State offices,
but the Republicans In the Northern
States seldom if ever recognize them as
being fit for public position. This is es
pecially true of this State in which the
Republicans owe their majority mainly
to the solid support of the colored peo
ple. It was reserved for a Democratic
Mayor of Philadelpaia to set the first
example a few years ago by appointing
colored men as uolicn offl
he had not. probably, received twenty
colored votes in the entire city. With
out the colored vote the Republicans
would often be in the minority in Phila
delphia, but they have never seriously
considered the question of sending col
ored men either to the State Legislature
or to Congress. It is no doubt a very
pleasant thing for Imes to hug the delu
sion that he will Denominated for Lieu
tenant Governor, but he will be a wiser
man after the Convention is over. He
will continue, however, to vote the Re
publican ticket just as if nothing out of
the way had happened. When a "man
and brother," in Republican lingo is
elected lo an Imuortant
this State, then look out for a flight of
Away with Alien Landlordism!
The people will watch closely the ac
tion of the House of Representatives
on the Dill to prevent aliens from acquir
ing real estate in the Territories. The
evil which this measure is intended to
arrest should have been dealt with long
ago; but tbe absorption of our public
lands by foreign capitalists, corporate or
individual was carried on socraftlyand
quietly that the abuse of the plain pur
pose of our laws and defiance of the
spirit of American institutions for some
time escaped notice. Now our eyes are
opened, and we learn with disgust and
resentment that vast tracts in the most
fertile sections of the national patri
mony have been grabbed by British olig
archs who foresee that their own coun
try will shortly be too hot to hold them,
and who are planning to transfer to our
free soil the system of absentee and ailen
landlordism about to be stamped out of
Ireland.
The extent to which this odious eva
sion of our homestead laws has gone is
even yet imperfectly appreciated, but
the partial list of ailen landowners laid
before the House of Representatives has
alarmed the public mind, and a full state
ment of the facts is now imperatively
called for. The poor man for whom and
for whose children the public lauds were
held in trusc will look to Secretary
Larmar for a detailed and exhaustive
disclosure of ailen depredations on their
rights, and they will require Attorney
General Garland to explore and casti
gate the frauds by which alone the nox
ious incubus of foreign landlordism has
been fastened on oui country.
Even in the incomplete enumeration
furnished by the Chairman of the House
Committee on Territories there are some
astounding items. What do our hard
working fellow citizens, for whose fu
ture homes our public land were sup
posed to have been set apart, think of
the announcement that by trick and de
vice a single British nobleman, the
Marquess of Tweeddale, has managed to
gobble up more than a million and a
half of acres in the most valuable por
tion of our trans-Mississippi territory?
Do the victims of this robbery grasp the
meaning of such Dgures? Do they un
derstand that an area of American soil
twice as large as the State of Rhode
Island has fallen into the clutches of a
single Eniopean landlord, who has never
dreamed of becoming an American citi
zen, but who means to spend abroad the
revenues of his Western principality as
the incomes wrune from starving labor
ers are spent by Irish absentees?
The land grab of Lord Tweedale ia
not by any means unique. The Duke of
Sutherland, the Duke of Hamilton,
Lord Dunraven, and Sir William Whal
ley are each credited with the acquire
ment of huge tracts of Western land,
amounting, in some instances, to many
hundred thousands acres. Besides the
individual plutocrats operating on their
own account, British corporations or
land companies have engaged in the eva
sion of our homestead legislatiou on a
gigantic scale. The motives prompting
such investors may be forcibly illustrat
ed by the case of the Duke of Suther
land. Here is a man whoee estate in
the Highlands, spanning the whole
breadth of Scotland from sea to sea, Is
the fruit of a notorious crime against
justice and humanity. It is but a little
more than a century since the wide lands
of which the Duke of Sutherland now
calls himself proprietor were owned in
common by the clansmen of his family.
Through the harsh enforcement of im
ported laws the humble teDauts of the
sojI were ejected and reduced to choose
between exile aud starvation.
But the day of retribution is at hand
in Scotland as weil a3 Ireland. The
men made opulent and mighty by the
desolation of the Highlands are fleeing
from the wiath to come. In a foolish
hour they counted on playing the same
game with safety upon our far Western
plains. But tbey will find out that im
punity will not outlast publicity an hour.
We will brook no anarchism here, and
we look on alien landlordism as even
more detestable and deadly. We will
not suffer foreign countries to dump
their criminals and outcasts on our
shores, and we will endure as little the
migration of ideas and practices which
j the conscience of awakened England
nas conuemnea as public crimes, if a
man like the Duke of Sutherland wishes
to be the lawfal owner of a homestead
in our Western Territories, let him take,
like ether emigrants, the proper steps to
get his naturalization papers, but let
him leave at home the hateful ambitions
of the British landowner. N. Y. Sun.
The Sooth's Recompense.
(en. D. H. Hill In May Century.
If we were to be beaten it was batter
to be beaten by formei friends. Every
true Boldier loves to have "a foeman
worthy of his steel." Every true man
likes to attribute high qualities to those
who were once friends though now
alienated for a time. The temporary
estrangement cannot obliterate the re
collection of noble traits of character.
Some one attempted to condole with
Tom Yearwood, a famous old South
Carolina bully, upon the beating given
him 1 y his own son. "Hush up," said
old Tom. "I am glad that no one but
my own flesh and blood had a hand in
my drubbing."
The sons of the South struck her many
heavy blows. Farragut, of Tennessee,
rose as a reward of merit, to the highest
rauk in the federal navy. A large
number of his associates were from the
South. In the federal army there were
of Southern blood and lineage Generals
Thomas, Sykes, Reno, Newton, J. J.
Reynolds, Canby,' Ord, Brannan, Wil
liam Nelson, Crittenden, Blair, R. W.
Johnson, T. J. Wood, N. B. Buford.
Teirill, Graham, Davidson, Cooke,
Alexander, Lretty, i rench, Fremont,
Pope. Hunter. Some of these doubtless
served the South better by the side they
took, but most of them were fine officers,
and some of them were soperb.
Then the South had three hundred
thousand of her son? in the federal army
in more subordinate capacities. Her
armies surrendered when a Southern
born president and a Southern-born vice
president were at the head of the United
States government. Surely we have the
comfort of old Tom Yearwood, and It is
a comfort. That tbe wonnds of defeat
and humiliation have been so soon heal
ed it has been owing largely to this balm
io morunea priae. ine sting or shame
to proud and sensitive Frenchmen is
that their magnificent capital was cap
tured by.ai:d their splendid armies sur
rendered to, soldiers of an alien race and
religion, spoaking a different language,
and unlike themselves in manners and
customs aud in all those characteristics
which constitute their pride and their
glory. On the other hand, the civil
wars in England have left no bitter
memories behind them. Who now
knows or cares whether his ancestors
fought on the side of the White Hose or
uie itea rtoser who now knows or
cares whether they were for King or
Parliament; for James II, or for Wil
liam of Orange? Comparethls foigetful
ness of civil strife in England with the
bitterness which Ireland still feels over
her sabjngation; compare it with the
fact that the Roman occupation of Eng
land for five hundred years made no im
pression upon tbe language of the natives
so little intercourse was there between
them and tbeirconnuernrs: mmnarp viih
the fact that for four hundred years
after the Norman conquest there was no
fusion between the Norman and Saxon
tongues. In truth, all history teaches
that the humiliation of defeat by a for
eign foe is felt for ages, while that of
defeat by the same race is temporary
and soon forgotten. The late civil war
was relieved of very much of its sec
tional character by the presence of so
many Soutnerners in the Union armies.
Therefore, it will be in the United
States as in all tbe unsectiooal civil
wars of the world's history In which race
and religion were not Involved the
waves of oblivion will roll over tbe bit
ter recollections of the strife. Bat we
trust that fragrant forever will be the
deeds of heroism, patience, fortitude,
self denial, and constancy to principle;
whether those deeds were performed by
the wearers of the blue or the gray from
their respective standpoints of duty.
Anarchists and Free Speech.
The American people have been for
so long a time accustomed to free speech
and have In general exercised this free
dom with such wise discretion that it
has not until quite recently occurred to
either people or authorities that there
was any real danger from the fullest ex
ercise of this privilege. Even tbe in
cendiary harangues of Most and his
red-mouthed followers were ridiculed as
the utterances of a lot of cranks and
fanatics, who would be the last persons
to put in practice their own extravagant
doctrines and who would not be able to
induce anybody else to do so.
Tbe bomb-throwing episode in Chi
cago, however, opened the eyes of the
American public to the fact that the un
bridled license of press and speech al
lowed these fellows had turned the
heads of a lot of their followers. They
had been led to believe that because
Most, Spies, Parsons and Schwab were
permitted to say in print and speech
what they pleased they would be allow
ed to do what they pleased, even to the
extreme of murder and plunder. Their
first attempt to practice the doctrines
that Most and Spies preached proved
disastrous alike to Anarchists and the
representatives of the law. The bomb
throwers were suppressed promptly
enough, but not until several of the po
licemen had been fatally wounded.
This Anarchist outburst has very nat
urally set the administrators of the law
to thinking that there might be a rea
sonable limit to the indulgence of free
speech. Judge Rogers, in his charge to
the Chicago grand jury, stated distinct
ly that the men who incited others to
riot, arson and murder by incendiary
speech were responsible for the deeds
committed by their instigation and
could be held answerable in law. In
other words, the men who counseled
murder, riot and arson in public speech
es can be held responsible for such
crimes equally with those who commit
them. The judge held further that the
police had a right to suppress these in
cendiary meetings to prevent the com
mission of crime.
The position of Judge Rogers would
seem to be good law and certainly it is
good sense. The Constitution of Penn
sylvania expressly declares that while
every citizen may freely speak, write
and print on any subject, he is also re
sponsible for the abuse of that liberty.
This is the spirit that pervades all the
State Constitutions, whether the privi
lege of free speech and its limitations
are stated in so many words or not.
The man or men who publicly incite
other men to riot, arson and murder are
guilty of the most flagrant abuse of the
right of free speech and should be called
strictly to account for the abuse. For
tunately. Judge Rogers has led the way
in this matter, and his example should
be followed by all Judges in localities
where the Anarchist element has se
cured a foothold. Ptiil'a. Times.

John W. Young, the oldest son of
Brigham Young, has been the principal
agent in Washington working against
the pending legislation to repress Mor
mon practices. He is said to possess
many of the remarkable qualities of his
father, including his wonderful energy
and self reliance. Most of Lis property
interests are in Utah, but he has also a
business office in New York City. It is
through him that the correspondence
has been carried on and the money dis
bursed. His mother was the first of the
seventeen wives of Brigham, and he was
the first of the fifty-two children of
w hom the great Mormon apostle was the
sire. All of the children of the differ
ent mothers are said to possess more or
less of the characteristics of the father.
Most of the girls were pronoianced
blondes and fine specimens of physical
and intellectual womanhood. The old
man, of course, bad his pick for wives,
and his entire family of mothers and
children were always stars among the
Mormon population. The majority of
the eons and daughters are still in Utah,
but some of them are in the Pacific
states, and some in England. They are
all in comfortable circumstances, as
their father at his death distributed im
partally his immense wealth. One of
the younger sons was sent to West Point,
and is now a first lieutenant of engineers
iu the United States Army. It was
common comment during the lifetime
of Brigham Young that his family was
entirtly harmouious. This may have
been because his great fortune allowed
him to provide a separate establishment
for each family, and the different fami
lies were never brought together except
on great public occasions, when of
course, they were upon their good be
havior. Baltimore Sun.
A harrowing story of a famine and
desolation is reported by the Irish World
as existing in the west of Ireland. Mr,
Thomas F. Brady, inspector of fisheries,
writes: "I have just returned from
visiting Arran Island where I inspected
a great many cabins. In many of them
the people had not a particle of food or
fire. Their condition is most deplor
able." Michael Davitt the well-kcown
Irish leader, gives these Impressions of
what he saw : "Here (in Innisturk) as
elsewhere (in Achill, Clart Island, and
Innisboffin) the same wretchedness was
observable in every cabin. Every wo
man and child I met with were shoeless.
Their condition is much worse this year
than (in the general famine) six years
ago. Half the population of each Island
are now subsisting on seed potatoes.
When this seed is eaten there will be
nothing to subsist upon but seaweed.
Tbe one thing which struck me most in
Achill was the hungry appearance of the
children. I do not believe I saw a sin
gle child smile or iniinlo-n in onw nt thif
infantile amusement which delights all
lovers of children while I was on the
island. Their faces seemed to wear but
one expression snd that was one of half
starvation." And these two are cor
roborated by this terrible testimony from
Thomas Kean medical officer of the dis
trict: "The time is near at hand when
tbe people of this island must die of
hunger if something be not done to save
them. I am the medical officer for the
district and also register of births and
deaths and I firmly believe it will be my
lot to have to register deaths under the
heading of 'Starvation' during the com
ing spring and summer months unless
relief comes." In the face of such an
appeal, the generous heart should melt
