iTainlnh Jixmnnn. EBCM SBURC. PA. FRIDAY, - - DECEMBER 3. U'is. S. S. Cox, ex Minister to Tur key arnl now Congressman-elect from one of .!.e New Wik city districts, has pr-mv'tiy defied tlie story to which we referred !a?t week, that he i? seeking to te ;,j,i a salary for loth ('trices. It was h.rii'v necessary for Mr. Cox to make the denial, since his 1'ing and honorable public career is a complete refutation of the charge. He is not that kind of a man. Tuojias V. Coopeb, who represents Delaware county in the Slate Senate, s.iid last week in Philadelphia that he would accept the office of Secretary of the Commonwealth if it is tendered to him, and that it will be offered to him by Geueial Beaver seems to be generally atlmiltud. After he enters upon the duties of L:s office the proper steps ought to be taken to have the question of his light under the Cons'.itution to bold it, judicially determined by the Supreme Court of the :-tate. The Ute Judge Ludlow, of Philadel phia, was as able, pure and upright a man as ever sat upon the bench in that cily, and literally wore himself out by devotion to the duties of his office. His invaluable services as a judge are prop erly appreciated by the business men of Lis uative city, and as he died poor, they have generously raised by subscription -'0,0W, which is to be invested, the in terest to be paid to his widow, and at her death the principal to go to such of Ler children as she may designate by will. A. J. Drexel, the banker, and George W. Childs, of the Philadelphia Ltljcr, head the list of subscribers to the fuud, the first named for $5000, and the second lor flOOO. Well informed Washington newspa per correspondents are authority for the statement that Mr. Edmunds is piepar Jng a mighty attack upon Mr. Cleveland's Mii: mist ration, which he intends firing on sometime during the present session. We dou"t believe that Edmunds contem plates anything of the kind, for the reason that he has had some bitter experience in that line and has learned like a burnt child to dread the fire. Ev erybody will remember that a short time Rfitfi the Senate met a year ago, Kd-mur-ds made what Rei utlican newspaper tailors regarded as a crushing attack against Uie right of the President to re muv.? or suspend an office holder when the Senate was not in session, aud every oie will recollect that it ended in the complete discomfiture of the Vermont senator. It was regarded as somewhat amazing that a man of his acknowledged ability could soar so high only to fall so low. We hardly think that Edmunds has so soon forgotten the lesson that he learned in making thai memorable and rash attack. If he attempts to repeal it he must have solid ground upon which to stand, and we know of no act of Mr. Cleveland's administration which will affoid him that security. A late dispatch from Washington says : There is only one point ou which all the returning Congressmen agree, and that is that no very important new legislation is likely to be undertaken at the short session. On all public questions there is the same wide variance of opin ion that made the long session so barren of results. Well-informed Demociats who have seen the President lately, be lieve that he will define bis ideas on the tariff more clearly in his forthcoming message than he did last year. They think be will say the time ia too short in which to formulate a scheme for the thorough revision of the tariff, but that he will urge the passage of a halfway measuie like the Hewitt bill. There la considerable speculation among the returning Congressmen as to what the President will say on the silver question this year. They think he is not likely to take the back track, but they regard it as quite probable that he will Insist upon his anti-silver views with far less vehemence than he mani fested last year. Mr. Cleveland would sot object to being President for lour years more, say the politicians, even if a majority of his party were against his financial theories. One financial sugges tion that the President is seriously con sidering is the refunding of the 4 per cent, bonds, which fall due in 1391, with a three per cent, thirty-year bnd- ix his speech-making toar through this State last October, James G. Blaine took, iciasioii '.n all the addresses he de livered to call special attention to the ow price of wages paid to the negro laborers in the South when compared with those of the well-paid workingmen in the North. As soon as his false statements ir. regard to the wages paid in the South reached that section, tbey were shown "to be totally incorrect by the local press, and especially so by a newspaper published at Birmingham, Alabama, which bas become a great iron manufacturing centre. Congress man "William D. Kelley, who was in Birmingham last week with a party of business men from the North, was invi ted to address the people of that place in the Opera House on the mineral resour ces of the South, and the bearing thereon Of the tariff. Mr. Kelly complied with the invitation, and as he had pretty clostily investigated the wages question as tar at least as the iron establishments at Birmingham were concerned, before , he commenced his address, for be stated to his audience that when he got back to. Philadelphia he would tell his people that tiie negro laborers of Ala bama nd Tennessee were as well paid as white laborers in Pennsylvania. This announcenieut was received by the meeting with great applause. And yet if Blaine were to go to Philadelphia and Pittsburg next week and repeat his speech in October at both places, Lis remaris would be received with the .Jan applause that manifested itself then. Such is Republican credulity aud 'such is Ihf influence that a hard fared deumsroguo like Blaine ran wield over a crowd of his umeasnning followers. The city of Camden, New Jersey, j seems to be the Paradise, so to speak, of corrupt voters. The United States Mar shals who were in attendance at the November election in that city, have prepared a very lengthy report in which they state that they have the names of 413 persons who sold their votes on elec tion day to Republican workers. They also have the names of T00 witnesses to prove the fact. The list includes the j names of voters who, sirce the election, ; have confessed that they were bought, j together with the witnesses and the i date, place and circams'.ances under which ihe confession was made. The cases will be presented to the court at the January term If this statement is reliable, and we have seen no contradic tion of It, a fearful exampfe oueht t? be made of the guilty parties and the popu lation of the New Jersey penitentiary largely increased. The statement omifs to name the pric at which a Democrat of Camden puts his vote, but as the number who sold out is placed at 413. it ia fair to infer that the market rate was exceptionally low. Coxgkess will meet on Monday next It will be what is called "the short session,'' and must expire by its own limitation on the 4th of March. There will be no election for Speaker, chief cleik and other officers of the House, as the present incumbents who were elected when Congress met a year ago, will serve until next March. There is a large amount of unfinished business, some of which is of great public impor tance, remaining over from the last session, and an avalanche of new bills is to be expected, most of whiA, however, will be invested with only local interest. Whether any tariff- legislation will be attempted does not seem to be definitely known. If such an attempt is made and with the same purpose in view as was couiamplated by Mr. Morrison, of Illin ois, in his bill which was defeated at the last session, it will undoubtedly meet with a similar fate. Both the Republi can and Democratic National Conven tions which met at Chicago in 1SS4 to nominate candidates for the Presidency, declared in their respective platforms that the inequalities in the present tariff ought to be corrected, and such is the well settled opinion of the country to day. But co satisfactory legislation on the subject can be accomplished at the present short session, for the reason that after the necessary appropriation bills for the support of th government are passed, there will be no sufficient time to devote to so important a matter as the tariff. At all events the Congress that was chosen at the November elec tion is the proper body to deal with the subject and not the present Congress, a large portion of whose members will not occupy seats ic the next House. When the new Congress meets, a year from next Monday, Mr. Cleveland, as he de clared in a conversation a week or two ago, intends making the tariff an admin istration measure, by which is meant, as we suppose, that through his Secretary of the Treasury he will submit a tariff bill to Congress for its action such a bill as he believes the best interests of the whole country require should be passed a conservative bill which will be a compromise between the extreme notions of the high protectionists and those of the radical tariff reformers. If the President carries out his purpose, it -will bring the two parties face to face on this vexed question more distinctly than heretofore, and the whole country will know just where each of them etands. There never will be a fair, hon est arid fat:sfactorv tariff revision meas ure p'.ed until the extremists on both sides f the question abandon their ultra notions and consent to a just and honor able compromise. Erastvs Brooks, wh ) in foimer years was chief editor of the New York Express, died on Thursday of last week, in the 72nd year of his age. He was a man of very decided ability, and in 1S53 and ISoo was elected to the State Senate of New York. While he was in the Senate he introduced a bill divesting Catholic bishops of the exclusive title to church property in real estate. This gave rise to a controversy between him self and Archbishop Hughes, which was published in New York in 18T5 in a vol ume entitled "Controversy on Church Property." In 185G Mr. Brooks, who has sometimes been incorrectly called the founder of the Know Nothing party, was nominated by that party as its can didate for Governor of New York, but was not elected. It is a singular coinci dence that while Know Nothingism as a political power in many of the States has been buried out of sight for more than a quarter of a centnry, that on the same day that the mortal remains of Erastus Brooks, one of its high priests, were consigned to the tomb, an attempt was made in the city of Washington by Rev. Dr. Newman, who is fomewhat celebrated aa having been Gen. Grant's chaplain, to breathe new life Into its mouldering body. On the day named, Dr. Newman preached a sensational po litical sermon, "America for Ameri cans" being his theme, although he took good care to disclaim Know Nothingism. His platform as he announced it during the course of his sermon, is to make every foreigner live in the country at least fifteen years, (the eld Know Noth ing period was 21) to lean what he, Newman, called the seven essential at tributes of an American, before he is entitled to the light of suffrage. He would also make every priest and every Catholic renounce before God and the holy angels all allegiance to every foreign prince, pontiff and potentate, whether spiritual or temporal. He vehemently denounced the Irish vote, the German vote and every vote that was not thor oughly American. He gaye utterance to several other kindred propositions which he claimed to be embraced within the seven essential attributes of an American citizen. Newman in his new crusade against the pope, the priests and the Catholics, the Irish and the Dutch, has undertaken a very big contract, a job at WTilch other men of greater re sources than he possesses, have signally failed. The experiment he has entered upon, however, may amuse him for a time, but his fate will be as disastrous as that of his predecessors in the same exploded and disreputable buslne?. MR. ST(LS CASE SETTLED. The President Declines to Reinstate a Suspended Official. Washington; D. C Nov. 24. Pres ident Cleveland yesterday addressed a letter to Attorney General Garland, re questing the latter to inform William A. Stone, of Pittsburg, that the Presi dent refused to reinstate him in the office of District Attorney for the West ern District of Pennsylvania, from which he had been suspended for making political speeches during the recent State campaign. After acknowledging the receipt tnd consideration of Mr. Stone's letter of explanation of the 18th inst., the President says : "I sh ill not impute to the writer any mischievous motive in his plainly erro neoas assumption that his case and that of M. E. Benton, recently suspended and reinstated, rest upon the same state of facts, but prefer to regard his letter . 8 containing the best statement possible upon the qnestion of his reinstatement. "You remember, of course, that soon after the present Administration was installed, and I think nearly a year and a half ago, I considered with you certain charges that had been preferred against Mr. Stone bs a Federal t fficial. You rememler, too, lhat the action we then contemplated was withheld by reason of the excuses and explanations of his I friends. These excuses and explanations induced me to believe that Mr. Stone's retention would insure a faithful per ! formance of official duty ; and that I whatever oflVns've partisanship he had deemed justifiable in other circumstan ces, he wonld during his continuance in office at his request, under an Adminis tration opposed to him in political creed and policy, content himself with a quiet and unobtrusive enjoyment of his politi cal privileges. I certainly supposed that his sense of propriety would cause him to'refrain from pursuing such a rartisan course as would wantonly offend and irritate the friends of the Administra tion, who insisted that he should not be retained in office either because of bis personal merit or in adherence to the methods which had for a long time prevailed in the distribution of Federal offices. "In the light of a better system, and without considering bis political affilia tions, Mr. Stone, when permitted to remain in office, became a part of the business organization of the present Ad ministration, bound by every omigation of honor to assist within his sphere in its successful operation. This obligation involved not only the proper performance of official duty but a certain good faith and fidelity which, while not exacting the least sacrifice of political principle, forbade active participation in purely partisan demonstrations of a pronounced type, undertaken for the purpose of ad vancing partisan interests and conducted upon the avowed theory that the admin istration of the Government wa not entitled to the confidence and respect of the people. "Tfere is no dispute whatever con cerning the fact that Mr. Stone did join others who were campaigning the State of Pennsylvania in opposition to the Administration. It appears, too, that he was active and prominent with noisy enthusiasm in attendance upon at least two lajrge public meetings ; that the speeches at such meetings were largely devoted to abuse and misrepresentation of the Administration ; that he approved all this, and actually addressed the meetings himself in somewhat the same strain ; that he attended such meetings away from his home for the purpose of making such addresses, and that he was advertised as one of the speakers at each of said meetings. "I shall accept as true the statement of Mr. Stone, that the time spent by him in thus demonstrating his willingness to hold a profitable office at the hands of an administration which he endeavored to discredit with the people, nni which had kindly overlooked his previous offen ses, did not result in the neglect of ordinary official duty. But his conduct has brought to light such an unfriendli ness toward the Administration which he pretends to serve, and of which he is nominally a part, and such a consequent lack of loyalty to rest in its success, that j the safest and eurest guarantee of his j faithful service is, in my opinion, entire . ly wanting. His course, in itself such , as should nit have been entered upon i while maintaining official relations to the Administration, al-o renews and revives, with unmistakable interpreta tion of their character and intent, the charges of offensive partisanship hereto fore made and up to this time held in abeyance. "Mr. Stone and others of like disposi tion are not to suppose that party lines are so far obliterated that the adminis tration of the Government is to be trusted, in places high or low, to those who aggressively and constantly endeav or unfairly to destroy the confidence of the people in the party responsible for such administration. While vicious partisan methods be allowed not for partisan purposes to degrade or injure the public service, it is my belief that nothing tends so much to discredit our efforts, in the interest of snch service, to treat fairly and generously the official incumbency of political opponents, as conduct ucb aa is here disclosed. The people of this country certainly do not require the best results of administrative endeavoi to be reached with snch agen cies as these. "Upon a full consideration of all I have before me, I am constrained to de cline the application of Mr. Stone for his reinstatement. 1 inclose his letter with thii, and desire you to acquaint him with my decision." 1888. The labor movement aside, there can be little question as to the resnlt of the election of 1883. The indications of the contests of this year all point to another term of Democratic control of the Pres idency. Tho Democrats secured major ities in enough states to give them a large preponderance in the Electoral College, and the aggregate increase of the majorities over those of 1884 was but little either way from a quarter of a million votes. All the states that were made to seem doubtful are of those that voted for Blaine in 1884, for no fair reasoning can place either Virginia or Indiana in the doubtful column, the Democratic revers es in each being conspicuously due to local causes or over-confidence, the one not at all likely and the other certain cot to be repeated two years hence. Cal ifornia and Connecticut appear to be safely landed on the Democratic side and Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Colorado require very little change to make them all reliably Democratic, not to 9)eak of the northwestern states that are gradually verging in the tha same direction. If there is anything to create doubt of the result in 18S8 it is the labor move ment, and the possibility that its leaders may insist upon concessions aa to candi dates and platforms that the Democratic party could not in honor agree to, and lead off a dangerous defection from the rank and file in pivotal states in conse quence of the refusal There cannot possibly be a Republican Labor coalition. The workingmen wii! never make an al ly or the party responsible for every wrong of which they justly complain. It is equity certain, therefore, that the Republican leaders will do all they can to encourage a third nomination, though it is just possible that snch a nomination won d transfer more Republican states to (he Democrats than Democratic Btates to the Republicans, for the labor nnta tr.'iiiTtl rirnliahlv rp nrnruirtimmfplv I 1 UIV . , i j - t t . . - - bs formidable In Ohio.

It has always been antagonistic to monopolies, land gran ting and all kindred wrongs. It must be still more earnest and determined in such antagonism. It has always opposed all forms of unjust and unequal taxation. It must make its position or: this ques tion piainer than ever. It has always favored legislation for the poor of the most liberal ossib!e charncter. and it must now make its leaning in this direc tion so clear that misunderstanding it will be impossible. It must do these things because it is right that they should I done. Being right, it will win.

A railroad accident which results in the destruction of several costly trains of cars, the loss of soma lives and the inju ry of many other persons always calls forth expressions ot sympathy nd regret from the general public. One class of men, however, regard it in altogether a different light, aud these are the railroad directors themselves. With them sym pathy and sorrow for the untimely slain and ir jured have no part. They regard the accident from a purely commercial point of view, and that, it is needless to say, is cold and heartless to the last degree. By a strange construction of the law of damages by the courts, in such cases, the railroads much prefer that when an accideut does occur, and a certain num ber of persons are killed and maimed, the latter shall be fewer than the formrr. This is a most heartless state of affairs but it is nevertheless the case, and it arises out of the faci. that the market value of a life seems to be well estab lished by the courts, while the market valua of an injury sustained in a railroad accident is a very uncertain quantity. The courts seem to have fixed the value of the man or woman who is killed in a railroad accident at just 5,000. These verdicts have been combatted dozens of times, but always with the same result, nntil it bas become an accepted fact that $5,000 is all a railroad can ba made to pay for the life of a person it has killed. But in the matter of lesser injuries, a very different rule prevails. Toere is no fixed value for a broken leg, a dislo cated shoulder, or half a dozen smashed ribs. They may be worth any sum be tween 50 and $50,000, or even more. This is so well known, that very often the persons who emerge out of a railroad wreck are troubled with all sorts of in ternal injuries and aches, difficult of outward detection and receive handsome sums to heal their damaged personalities. A railroad company can at once adi op the cost of half a dozen dead men, but never what a few injured ones are worth. It is the injured living they dread, and not the dead. The Lake Shore road is said to have paid a million dollars to the families of the dead and to the wounded of the Ashtabula disaster Beveral years ago. No wonder that an accident in which many are wounded at once reacts upon the stock of the road. The speculators understand the law as to damages, and govern their operations accordingly.

He did so just In time to prevent the girl's rescue. Her parents now treat the marriage by the colored preacher as a nullity and In sist upon the ceremony being performed by a white preacher. It is proper to state that tbe Rev. Mr. Sargeant omitted to kiss the bride. A Captain's Fortanat Discovery. Captain Coleman, schr. Weymouth, ply ing between Atlantic City and N.

Persons who Buffer from In1.!-;e.?on can arrest the progress c.f t ?i:it painful malady by tbe uk of an after-dinner pill, so composed that It will pive tone to the stomach, prevent heartburn, rouse the liver to healthful action, lnviorato the kfclneys,and thus, through 'he activity of these oreaiis, promote U.o iiatunu movement of the stomach and bowel. Aykk's Pi LI-a are fk compounded that their action, though mild, effectually pro cures the above results. They ao, la curium Constipation, remove the cause of biliousness, I.lver C'oraplalat, Kidney Dts ejie. niieumatlsm, and naaoy other erloua ailments. AYER'S PHXS contain no mineral nor poisonous sub stance, and do not frrip unless the bowels are Irritated, and even then their influence Is healing. To continue thc-lr efl'ect in constipated or chronic cases, they need only be taken in diminishing Instead of increasing doses. For seamen, and in habitants or travelers In sparsely settled countries where physicians are. not at hand, they are of Inestimable value. There Is hardly a sickness they will not alleviate, and In roost cases cure, If taken promptly. To younjr elrla Just entering upon womanhood, and to women whose j-eriod of maternity Is drawin to a close, Ayer's Pills, In moderate doses, merely Mifficirnt to ensure repular -action of the bowels, will be found of Incalculable Value .
