EBCNSBURC, PA.. FRIDAY MARCH 25 1SS7. F.MPtRoi: William of Germany cel ebrated liis ninetieth birthday on the 221 ins!. Teachers will read with unalloyed pleasure of the passage of the bill giving them pay for attendance at institutes. From the princely salaries paid some base ball pitchers, one would imagine the position to second only to the Vrjsidencj of th? United S.ates. The Tories of Kug'and have at last yielded to the inevitable, and acknowl edged they cannot coerce Ireland. It is the dawning of another hope for the downtrodden race and Ireland's ultimate freedom and absolute home rule, which at one time appeared so hopel&s, may not be so far off. A resolution was passed on Tuesday In the Senate, providing for the appoint ment of a Legislative Committee to represent the law-making power of Pennsylvania at tre celebration of the centennial of the adoption of the Consti tution of the United States. Yorxo men's Democratic Clubs are being formed in some parts of the country, and now is an opportune time to organize throughout the Union. "In time of peace prepare for war," end the party which takes time by the forelock and strengthens its bulwarks before the campaign opens will have made an im portant step toward final success. The rumor given currency by Dr. Sowers that President Cleveland is fail ing in health and in danger of being cut down in middle I f e and usefulness by tn insidious attack superinduced by his severe metital labor ard lack of physical exercise, :s denied by Col. Eamout. The Colonel says the President is in good physical condition and there is no reason oralaimin regard to his health. The presumption is that he will be in entirely too eood condition and too Ine'y in 138 to suit some of his contemporaries. Tii e cz t of Russia is a practical dem ons: ration of the o!d saw, "uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." He deplores the necessity which exists for precautions for his safety, but declares the bombs will not change his outlined policy, but it seriously interferes with his desire to travel over the country, personally inspect the existing state of affairs aud intelligently apply the reme dy. Ths czar's aversion to plunging Pussia into a ruinous and fruitless war ' continues as great ad ever. No change in his convictions in this respect is ex pected by his advisers except in confor mity with his views on Russian imperial interests. One disaster follows another so rapid ly that the mind has scarcely stopped contemplating the horror" of a railroad smash-up, a fire, an earthquake, a cy clone or a falling bridge carrying its victims across the border between life and death, until some other locality claims attentiou as the scene of an un expected and terrible catastrophe. The burning of the Richmond hotel in Buffa lo last week has some points of horror about it that no human tongue can fully express. To be suddenly aroused from "tired nature's sweet restorer," only to realize that you are surrounded by flames from which there is no escape, would create a sensation which has never been fully described. Alono with the car stove for danger and destruction of human life may now be coupled tbo fire-trap hotel. These deadly agents shonld be forever relega ted to th past. There have been a sufficient lumber of holocausts arismg from the use of both to demand their exit. Rftween the two dangers, the traveling public is subjected to entirely too many risks to be contemplated with composure. In view of former disasters In hotels like that which occurred by the burning of the Richmond Hotel, on Friday of last week, the Newhall House at Milwaukee, and the Southern Hotel at St. Louis still fresh In mind it is astounding that in a city like Buffalo, a new hotel should Lave been allowed to be occupied by guests until it was clear ly demonstrated to be fire proof with ample and convenient fire escapes. Tii e land-grabbing monopoly is receiv ing an unusual amount of attention from the Knights of Labor, and their object which is a very worthy one is to make the system of appropriating and monop olizing IatMs by money-lords and corpo rations so odious ard unpopular that if it is not refrained from, laws may be passed liaiiting the area en individual or corporation may possess. The right and natural use of lands is for homes for the million ; and the scheme, too long in vogue, of speculators buying it up in vast quantities for the purpose of filling their coffers should be stopped. Especial ly does this system have an extremely exasperating phase when Knglish and other foreign capitalists are gobbling it up, who have no feelings in common with the American people. May the Knights of Labor succeed in their efforts. President Cleveland's appoint ment of Trotter for Recorder in the District has thus far proven a happy one. Trctter has gone to work and shown by his application and aptness, as well as his natural and acquired qualifi cations for the position that he will Ell the office with ciedlt to himself and his race, and honor his appointment. He is an Improvement socially on Matthews, who was naturally snrly, and has so far won the good graces of even his enemies. He is looked upon as a sort of natuial curiosity a kind of anomalyby many of his colored brethren, mho cannot har monize a dark human skin and Demo cratic principles. This difficulty will pass aay, however, as the colored race becomes more intelligent and less preju diced. Even the colored citizens of this country will begin to realize soon that the Republican party of to-day is not the Republican party ot the days of Abraham Lincoln- The pretended apprehension urged by those opposed tc woman suffrage in the State of Kansas, that if women were granted the privilege of voting the bet ter clas would not avail themselves of their rights, is not borne out by present indications. The worrier are now wagiDg a v:gorous campaign in view of the municipal election Hxn to U:ke place, and the prospects are ir.t they will turn out to a womaii and casts their ballots w:th as true an American feeling and with more grace and dignity than the majority of the men. When the women of Kansas exemplify to the world that there is nothing unwomanly in them voting at a municipal election, other states will follow the example of Kansas in vouchsafing to them the privilege of this natural right. Constituents of some or the Penn sylvania Legislators will not feel very highly flattered over the fact that their Representatives had to be seut for by the sercreant-at-Arms, Friday evening, in order to make out a quorum for the transaction of business. Unruly boys playing truant from school are not more censurable than the Honorable (?) men sent to Harrisburg to make laws for the people, who absent themselves fiom their seats simply be cause chey can. It is true many men sent to Harrisburg K make laws are at best only figure-bead, but when they get ten dollars a day for playing law maker, thev ought to be found in their places when sessions are called, instead of loiteiing around some drinking house or ridicg out free passes' on the railroad. Ot.e thing this State and the whole country wants is ofllcers who will be faithful and conscientious in the dis charge of their duties. Give us good, true, loyal, able men to fill the positions of honor and trust, and the Government of tha future wi!l have no breakers to cross. If proof had been lacking heretofore that reform is needed in the social circles of Washington, there is now no dearth of evidence on fhat point. There is nothing niggardly in the salary of a United States Cabinet officer, yet few are able to live on the annual ?8,(K)0 they receive, because of the exactions of Washington society. Speaker Carlisle considers himself too poor to accept the Treasury portfolio proffered him by President Cleveland, believing he would come out of the office impoverished since he has no millions to fall back upon. This is the Government of which we boast I A Government that has permit ted itself to become the prey of a sense less and brainless society custom that requires vast expenditures for mere dis play ! At one time intelligence and brains were the highest passports in Washington society, but for years posi tion and money have been the only requisites. With the return of the Democratic Administration to power, it would be a desirable consummation to have a return to Jeffersonian simplicty in Washington society circles. Since the passage of the Inter-State Commerce bill by Congress, the subject of railroad passes has been widely dis cussed, and the railroad managers, an ticipating results, have signified their intention of issuing no more free passes after the first of next month. Although the Inter-State Commerce bill does not prohibit the issuing of free passes, the Constitution of Pennsylvania does, for it contains this provision : "No railroad, railway, or other transportation compa ny, shall grant free passes, or passes at a discount, to any person except officers or employes of the company." In passing the Anti-Discrimination bill, now pend ing in the Pennsylvania Legislature, if the object of the framtis of the bill is to comply with constitutional requirements it should be made broad enough to in clude in its measures the spirit of this clause of the Constitution, and prohibit the issue of free passes. Such a law would strike a majority of the members of the present Legislature very hard, for while they violate the Constitution with impunity, their inconsistency would be too glowing were they to openly violate their own law on the subject, and there fore it is hardly to be expected such a clause will be inserted In the pending bill. One of the most important duties de volving upon the present Legislature is the proper re-apportionment of the State into Congressional districts. As was feared, however, the majority at Harris buig has proposed a division far from coinciding with constitutional require ments. The proposed re-apportionment is based entirely on political grounds, and in the larguage of the Philadelphia Times makes ram's horns straight by comparison, and throws into the shade all the shoestring gerrymanders of mod ern politics. It is done by small politi cians who have not yet learned that strained districts without homogeneous people are valueless to party these days of general and growing political indepen dence and they are inviting increased independence by the obvious attempt to obtain twenty-one of the twenty-eight districts for one pirty that would not be entitled to over fifteen on a fair rep resentative basis. It is a short-sighted policy on the part of the Republicans ; for the attempt is so obviously to make the whole apportionment subservient to partisan bigotry that the belter class of Republican voters will revolt at the usurpation and bolt the party. If the political status of different sections of country are taken into account at all, and if the aim is to elevate the standard of our Representatives, the disposition should be to make the division so qual politically that each party would be obliged to nominate its best man to avoid defeat. The districts as now formed are, as a rule, fasnioned to invite the boodler to contest them. The union of a number of counties distant from each other, with little intercourse or sympathy between the people, is just the sort of a district for the boodler to gath er up, and compel the party to disgrace Itself by his election or accept defeat. It is important that an apportionment should be made eiore an adjournment, but it is still more important that the apportionment shall be fair and show an honest purpose, and that the counties composing each district shall be as compact as possible. An h'xtra Session. The country is receiving a great flow of information just now, apropos of Congress and the surplus. Every wise acre in tte land is pouring forth his views and convictions and advice as to the necessity for and the piospect or an extra session of Congress between the present time and the first Monday of December next. Undoubtedly the truth is hidden somewhere in the mass. Will the President manage to distinguish it V As we understand the case, there is but one contingency in which an extra session would even be permissible. If it ehould happen that a great accumulation of money in the Treasury were to lead to stringency in financial afUirs through the country, and if there were no means of disposing of this surplus and restoring it to active circulation, then, and only then, would the President be justified in calling Congress together, and asking it to take cognizance of the emergency. Is such an emergency probable? The surplus is now accumulating at the rate, rugh!y stated, of fourteen millions per month. Until the 1st of July these millions can be disposed of by purchasing and retiring the 3 per cent, bonds. After that, $.jO,000,X0 can be absorbed in the sinking fund, and by setting aside the whole annual allowance during the first three months instead of distributing it over the whole year, the surplus revenues of July, August and September can be extinguished. This brines us to Oct, 1. Then what shall be done? The question is whether any serious crisis is likely to be precipitated by the withdrawal from circulation and the hoarding in the Treasury of 114,000,000 per month during October. November and December, it being assumed that Congress will tie in full operation by the 1st of January ant? ready to grapple with the emergency. It is upon this issue that the whole controversy hinges. Many of our wisest public men believe that the accumulations of October. No vember and December would exert no unfavorable influence. Others hold the contrary, and insist that in so sensitive a matter as that of money it would be most perilous to incur the smallest risk. They claim that the appearance of apa thy on the part of the Government would involve the gravest consequences, where as the moral effect of the President's calling an extra session early in October and thereby testifying the purpose and desire of the Administration to seek a remedy for the evil would exert a most potent, reassuring Influence upon the country. The question, in fact, may properly be considered within these limitations. Until Oct. 1, there is an easy and au thorized way of disposing of the surplus and preventing any accumulation. Af ter that, and until such time as Congress may, in the ordinary course of business, provide some further means of neutral izing the evil, there will be a growing and multiplying danger. Will the situ ation call for immediate treatment in October or can it be safely left to Con gress it its regular session? That is the problem in a nutshell. JY. Y. Star. An Experiment at Troflt Sharing. A very s:rng indication of the value of profit sharing as an amelioration of the friction between labor and capital, is afforded by a pamphlet published by Mr. 11. O. Nelson, of Sr. Louis. This man ufacturer gives the result of a year's experiment in the plan which was adapt ed from that in existence in France for nearly half a century. A year ago the the plan was adopted of first reserving 7 per cent, interest on capital actually employed, and then dividing the profits equally noon the to'al of wages and capital. The result of the first year has been a dividend upon the wages of about 3 per cent., nearly all of which is savings for the employes, and is left as capital in the hands of the firm. Of course an unprosperous year would be likely to afford a less satisfactory result ; but the characteristic P'int of the system is that it tends to strengthen the establishment against adversiiy. In this casn the employer testifies that the most striking effect of the plan is the Increased efficiency and faithfulness of the workmen. Wherever profit sharing has been tried, in fact, it has been found practicable to produce the same output of wares with a smaller number of work men, the disposition of the profit, sharers being naturally to weed out idlers and incompetents, so as to bring dividends to the highest practicable figure. For the capitalist the result is an income from interest, salary and dividends largely exceeding the usual profits of manufacturing. These are the results reported from what few experiments in j profit sharing have been made in this i country, aud they are corroborated by similar reports from France. We shall hope to see the example followed more generally. Pittsburg Ifispatch. Statistics have lately been published showing that during the first two months of the present year there hai been ICO strikes, in which 03,200 persons joined, and at the conclusion of which 3.J.00U were left to enforced idleness, their pla ces having been filled by others while they were on strike. The estimated loss of wages they suffered was over 13,000, 000. One of the strikes not included in the list is now proceeding in Taterson, N. J., the center of the silk trade in the United States. The number of persons voluntarily going out or forced out of the mills is 20,000, their weekly loss of wa nes being over $100,u00. This is one of the strikes whicn should not have occur red, and was ordered by the Knights of Labor, because the following demands made by them were denied : First, "That no man shall be employed in a sh-p who is not a Knight of Labor in Rood stand ing" which means that any Ku'ght who does not regularly pay his assessments or dues shall b discharged. This demand if granted would make the employers collectors for the Knights of Labor of the order's dues and assessments. Sec ond, "That before any man shall be dismissed, no matter for what reason, his case must be submitted to the other workmen, and if they do not agree with the employer, the employer shall be obliged to retain him." This takes away from an employer any control of his business. We hardly think Mr. Powderly will approve a strike to enforce such conditions. Illinois High License. The Chicago Tribune, the leading Republican organ of that city, in a re cent issue, says ; "The Illinois High License law took effect in 18S4-5. ii closed 1000 saloons in the city of Chicago, and 4000 in the state. The revenue from liquor licenses I in Chicaeo alone, rose from $200,000 per J year, to f 1.700,000. The law possessed I other valuable features besides that of a Ixed license of ."V W for the sale of ardent : spirits. It provided that all municipal ; ities might increase the license fee as i much as they chose." 1 It has always been contended by the i Trohibitionists that high license never i has reduced and never will reduce the ; number of places at which liquor is sold. , Either they are wrong or the Chicago : Tribune is wrong, and it seems to speak from the Record. Representative Callaghan, of West moreland county, on last Tuesday night delivered an address upon Labor, in the Hall of the House at Harrisburg. A monstrosity In the shape of a male child with a head like an elephant, was born at Bridgeport, Conn., recently. luter-Mate Commerce 1'ouimis.sion. The Prfsldent has appointed the fol lowing liner State Corrnieice Commis sioners : Thomas M. Cooley. Michigan, for the term of six ytars ; William R. Morriwon. Illinois, for the term of live years ; Augustus Schoonmaker, New York, for the term of four years ; Aldace E Walker, Vermout, for the term of three jears ; Waller A.Bragg, Alabama, for the leroi of two years. The fact that Mr. Cojley's name heads the list does not necessarily indicate that he will be chairman of the commis sion, as It must elect its own cbaicman. Mr. Cou'ey was recently appointed by Judgo Gteshatn recti vr of the Wabash Rsilroad Company. He was boru in the Sta:e ot Now York, in 18:24. In 1S45 he settled 12 Michigan and was admitted to the bar. He compiled and published the laws of the State, aud in 1S5S was made a reporter of the Fupreme court. His most important publication is the "Constitutional Limits which rest upon the Legislative Power of the American Union." A. F. Walker is a Vermont lawyer, of about forty-four years of age, a Kepub lican in politics, studied law with SeLa tor Edmunds, served in the Union t.rmy as colonel, and has since then practiced law at Rutland. In the Vermont senate he has taken a leading part in framing legislation to solve the railway problem, aud has given much study to the ques tion. Augustus Schoonmaker is a lawyer of Kingston, New York, and was always a close personal and political fneud of Governor Tilden. He succeeded Mr. F'aircbild as Attoruey General of New York State. Mr. Bragg has been a leading Demo crat of Alabama for some years. In 1881 he was made president of the State Rail road Commission, and served in that position four years,during which time many important questions arising be tween the lailroads and their customers Were satisfactorily adjusted. Mr. Morrison's public services are well known. He was born in Monroe county, Illinois, Sept 14, 1825 ; was edu cated in the common schools and at McKendall College, Illinois. He is a lawyer by profession, and has been four times a member of the Illinois House of Representatives, btiug ouce speaker of that body. He served his first Congres sional term in the Tbirty-eignth Con gress. He was subsequently elected to the Forty-third Congress, serving in the houre continuously until the present month, his successor being Mr, Jehu Baker, who defeated him in the contest last fall. Alsace and Ireland. It is now sixteen years since Alsace and a portion of Lorraine became n part of the German Empire, and already the condition of the conquered territory is singularlo like that of Ireland. In Alsace the people send representa tives to the German Rejchsta?, who protest against Prussian rule : in Ireland the voters elect members of the Imperial Parliament, who oppose English oppres sion. In Alsace the Patriotic League is secretly affiliated with the parent organ ization in France ; in Ireland the Na tional League is openly allied to a kindred fraternity in the United Spates. In Alsace poli'ical arrests and police searches by day and by night are carried on ; in Ireland the same or similar methods were prosecuted mercilessly and are now to be renewed. In Alsace the German government employs spies and informers to gather testimony against suspects, or to manufacture it wbn that process is deemed advisable. ; in Ireland the British government may be said to have furnished the example. In Alsace the people would certainly turn against Germany in the event of war betwen that country and France ; in Ireland the Nationalists would most assuredly rise against England upon the breaking out of hostilities between her and France. Russia or the United States. In AUace the Prussian is ab horred ; in Ireland the Englishman is detested. In Alsace the belief in final deliverance erows with the increase of tne military power in France ; in Ire land the same faith gains strength from the relative weakness of England, and from the progress of the Irish race in America. In fact Aisace and Lorraine must now re classed with Ireland and Poland. This makes a poor showing for the boasted progress of liberty in Europe. Destructive Fire at Chautauqua. The fire at the Chautauqua Assembly grounds on the morning of the 21st inst., destroyed eighty buildings, among them being several large boarding houses including the Eckert, Parkhurst and Ailing houses. The total loss will very ' probably exceed $109,000. The fire started shortly before mid night in the Curtis cottage on Simpson avenue. It was caused by a defective flue. The buildings and cottages are of wood and are close together. The fire spread rapidly to the adjoining cottages, and the lack of fire apparatus and the scarcity of help favored the flames. About sixty families remain on the grounds during the winter season. The citizens from Mayville and the surround ing towns arrived on the Bcene and greatly aided the residents. The fire swept everything before it, taking both sides of Simpson and Summerfield ave nues, from the Auditorium to the Hotel Atheneum. It was with difficulty that the Hotel was saved. The absence of a high wind alone saved from destruction the large and costly structure. The fire departments at Erie, Corry and other cities were telegraphed for, but the Corry department only respond ed. A special tram was run from that city to Mayville. The heroic work of the winter residents and farmers from the surrounding country undoubtedly prevented the entire destruction of the Assembly with its costly buildings and 800 cottages. AH the cottages and the boarding houses in the burned district were furnished and equipped, and little of the furniture was saved. Many of the burned cottages on Simp son avenue were rebuilt last year. Thit was the most fashionable ayenue of the grounds. The magnificent forest trees shading these streets were destroyed by the fire. In talking 'about the pass question. Senator Cullom said he did not think it could apply to newspaper passes, because they were given in nearly every instance in payment of advertising done by the papers for the road. "My wife was strongly in favor of the bill," said the Senator, "until the night before it was signed. She had never heard of the clause referring to passes until some one In our conversation at home mentioned that if the bill became a law she could no longer ride on a pass. 'Is that so?' she said. When I told her that it was she exclaimed, 'Then I hope the Presi dent will veto it I' " An End to Bone Kcraplnr. Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, III., saye : 'Tlavioe received so much benefit from Electric Bitters, I feel It my duty to let sufferin? humanity know It. Have had a running sore on my leg for eight years ; ray doctors told me I would haye to have the bone scraped or leg amputated. I used, Instead, three bottles of Electric Bitters and sevea boxes Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and my leg Is now sound and well." Electric Bitters are sold at fifty cents a bottle, and Bucklen's Arnica Salve at 23c. per box by E. James, of Ebeasburg and W. W.
