EDNSBURC, PA.. FRIDAY, - - NOV. 10, 1S8S. A snow atJtm struck Kansas City, Missouri, lust Friday. The storm waa accompanied by a high wind which prostrated telegraph wires in Missouri, Kansas and Colorado. KailroaJ travel Is also impeded on most of the roads ceotreiDg in Kansas City. The political situation in West Virginia Is unchanged. Both parties claim a small plurality in the State. It will require th official count to decide the result. A canvass of the Tote in the State commfccced on Tuesday. It will require ten days to determine the result. David IIostetter, of Tittsburg, proprietor of Hosteller's stomach bit ters and concerned In the building of the South Penn railroad, died last week. Accounts say his estate is worth 51"', 000,000.

Tiie Philadelphia Daily Evening Herald on election day completed its first year under its present management. During the past excitic. political cam paign the Democracy bad no stronger or more faithful champion than the Jlcmli and we Lope it may long continue to do its share in educating the politi cally bt-nighted people of the (Quaker city. The JA,M is a bright, spicy paper aud deserves to be well supported. According to a recent decision of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, great many men have been hanged oncoustitutionally In this State. The Court decides that a disagreement of the jury in murder trials is equivalent to an acquitai and the accused person can not ti'.riAl twice on the same charge. This ruling has created consideiable talk among the legal fraturnity, and it Is said It will have the effect of releasing several men who are now awaiting trial after juries had disagreed on the occas f the first trial. The d feat of President Cleveland, says the Philadelphia Timet, delays but does not overthrow tariff rtform. Ouly a man of his inugrity and courage could have presented the vital issue of tax and revenue leductton and submitted it honestly to the supreme tribunal of the people. lie could have s'.udied exped iency by cunning evasiou of the ibsue and posaibly won a second term by cowardice-; but he was thoroughly con vinced the time had come for the eman cipation of American industry from needless taxes aud the greed of monopo ly, and he accepted honesty and defeat as preferable to dishonest success. Lin coln's patriotic and courageous emanci pation of slaves lose him the support of the gieat Middle States of the north in 1SG2, Justus Cleveland's patriotic and eouageous effort for the emancipation of industry from the bondage of classes has lost him the same Slates in lbSS but Lincoln's emancipation is now en shrined in the refulgence of our most lustrous achievement, and Cleveland's emancipation of labor will as surely triumph, despite temporary disaster, as did the shackling of the bondmen a bi.arter of a century ago. The Whitechapel, Loadon, England, murder fiend has added another to his list of victims. On last Friday morn niog the body of a woman cut into pieces, was discovered in a house on Dot set street, SpitalCelds. As hitherto, the crime was committed in the heart of the Whitechapel region, and this rourdes has many of the characieiistics that has lent horror to the others in that region. The last victim was rather more prosperous than the eight otter victims that have fallen from time to time. They were homeless ; while this murder was committed in the wretched apartment which the woman inhabited. "Whltecbape! women shudder and re call the rudely inscribed legend, "Fif teen before I . surrender," written on a wall, beside which the body of the fourth victim lay. The arpearance of the remains of the last victim was frightful and the mutilation was even greater than la any previous cases. The bead had beea severed and put i inder one of the arms. The ears and i lose had been cut off. The body had I en dievmtawled, and the flesh was torn from the thighs. Several other oirgnns were missing. The skia had tx sen torn off the forehead and cheeks. One hand had been pushed in the stomach. There appears to be ro clue as yet to the murderer. A casual study of the returns is sufficient, says the Philadelphia Time, to show which way "free Wiol" d'd It. The great Industrial centres did not aeare at the cry of "free trade.' The Democratic vote of Philadelphia Is greater by twenty rer cent, than was ever cast before, and Cleveland's gains In the wards especially devoted to man ufactures is very significant. Labor jreeognlzes its own interests. On the other hand, the agricultural bounties roll up larger R-publican ma- i jorlu'es than usual. The farmer, for whora the tariff is really a tax on verytfcing that be ones, would rather get fifty eents more for his few pounds of wool Uaso save fifty dollars in wool ens. This earn contrast will be found all over the country. Agricultural com. touoiiies everywhere are proverbially I iow to receive new ideas and Lb far- j mers have actually sustained the ' monopoly tariff against the votes of j of the manufacturing centres. J Mu. Oiaumey defew is out in an interview, says the Pittsburg Poat pleading that the great expense of the presidential elections and the distnrb bance of business consequent on them should te alleviated by extending the term to six years, so that in 12 years, there wou'.d be out two elections in" stead of three. It does seem a3 if something should be dona It Is be coming wo great a tax on the resources of the protected millionaries, trusts and monopolies. Of course they must fur nish the boodle as the price of continued "protection," and to prevent American labor being reduced to the "pauper' level o. Europe, over which they Bhed eumerous tears, grunts and groans. It must also be admitted too bad that Mr. Carnegie and five other manufacturers should have been compelled to contrib ute 52."0,000 apiece, and that Mr. Wan amaker carried to New Yorx 5500,000 from Philadelphia philanthropists to Mr. Quay and Mr. Dudley, with their "blocks of five," to secure an honest Tote and protect Americau labor. It is too expensive. If eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, many millions is the tribute exacted for such a political victory as we have lately seen, Mr. Depew, as the- representative of the Vanderbilts, Carnegies, Jay Goulds, and other devoted friends of labor, is too modest by half. If auctioning off the presidency comes too high once every four years, for the successful bic ders, why instead of six Tears not m ke the term 10 or 20 ? Bribery when it gets too common becomes vulgar. It would be a great saving to have the bat passed around and the fat fried out only once in 10 years. But In the interest of honest industry and American lator we protest. Money should be kept in circulation. The channels of trade need regular irrigation at frequent intervals. Instead of a pres idential once every six or tan years, as Depew proposes, by all means change the constitution and let ns have annual elections, so that our people may have the fullest opportunity to study no max ims but the markets. If would put money in circulation, and cause a great er distribution of wealth, making more general the solid benefits of protection. The first echoes of the Republican victory says the Philadelphia Times. bring unmistakable expressions Ik favor of prompt tariff and tax reform by the Republicans. "N"e give in another column the declaration of the Chicago Tribune And of Governor Alger, with with the apparently credible report from "Washington that President Harrison will call an extra session of Congrtss in Apirl to revise the tariff, reduce taxes and relieve industry of the exaction of unneeded revenues. It can be only a question of very brief time when our industries will be given free riw materials. It not granted by the Congress just elected, it will be done by the Congress to be elected in 1S00, and Republican power can avert defeat two years hence by giving our mills aud labor the free raw materials which are given in every other protection country of the world. If President Harrison is wise, he will call aa extra session of Congress and specially charge it with the duty of re ducing taxes of the necessaries of life and ending surplus revenues. If be shall delay tariff revision and tax and revenue reduction until December of next year, the banded profligates and jobbers of the land will end tax and revenue reduction by profligacy aud in vite defeat and dishonor upon the ad ministration. The country wants a wise and settled tariff policy based on the generous pro tection of the wages or labor, the lowest taxes on the oecestaries f life and the reduction of the revenues to the actual needs of the government. I? the Re publican administration shall honestly meet the issue by such legislation, the vocation of the profligate will be ended, and the country will beaitily sustain the new President. If the issue sha:i not be squarely met by jndicious tax reduction, Republican defeat will be iuevitable. The suit brought by the Attorney General of New Yrk, in behalf of the people cf that State against the North River Sugar Reuniug Company, to dis solve that corporation on the ground that it bad exceeded the privileges granted it by its charter in becoming one of the members of the great Sugar Trnst on the first of October, 1SS7, and otter sugar companies, was brought to trial on Wednesday in the Supreme Court. The action is one of the results of the Senate Investigating Committee of last winter, which for the first time brought to lignt the deed of trust under which the different sugar companies have formed a combination. It was substantially agreed at the outset by counsel that there would be no controverted question of fact for the court to pass upon, but it would merely be a question of law. The formality of drawing a jury was then gone through with. The jury were told that as the enly question at issue was one of law for the court to pass upon, their services would not be needed at the trial. They were only required to be present at the end of the case to go through the for mality of returning a verdict, as direct ed by the court. Counsel agreed that the testimony to be offered would not cake any vtry great length of time, and that they would afk to have the case adjourned until Wednesday next. In order to argue the questions of law. With this understanding the jurors were dismissed until next Wednesday.

Chairman of the Democratic National Executive Com mittee, and Col. B. C. Che t wood of New Jersey on the question of that piece of antique constitutional brio a brae, the Electoral College. All the gentlemen named but Colonel Brice fa vor rd its abolition. The Electoral College Is absolutely useless, quite costly and involves Eome danger of a defeat of the popular will. As originally contemplated by the framers of the constitution it was In ti uded as a sort of advisory committee, appointed in each State to be voted for by the people thereof as individuals, these individuals to vote for any candi date for President that they saw fit. That at least was its intention, the idea seeming to be that this unpreju diced. Impartial body of men would exercise gieater care in selecting a cans didate than would be observed it the matter were left to the popular will. The statesmen of the early constitution al period must have had a very imper fect idea of the Americau character, however. If they supposed that any such device would prevent the people from indicating very directly and posi tively the intention of their ballots. That the original purpose of tho Electo ral College has been evaded, whilst the constitutional form is still preserved, shows bow little any artificial scheme of legislation will stand when It is en tirely without popular approval. A peculiar complication some times accompanies the practical working of this altogether useless system. As is well known, no citizen of any State votes direct for any Presidential candi date, casting his ballots instead for a list of State Electors, who in turn meet at their respective State capitals and cast the Electoral vote for Riven nom inees. Now, there is nothing in law, morals or practice to prevent any citi zen from voting for half of the Demo cratic and half the Republican Electors, nor from voticg the straight ticket of one party and scratching off one or two particular Electors. This has indeed been frequently done, bnt it Is very often done fraudulently, and might in a c'ose contest defeat the will of the people. A case is ia band in the verv last election in New York State. By the terms of an alleged "deal" between the United Labor and Republican manage ments, the former gave out Electoral tickets leading off with the names of the first two Labor Electors, the other thirty-four being copied from the Re publican Electoral ticket. This of course resulted in a great loss to the Labor people which all went to swell the vote of the thirty-four Republican Electors, the Crst two names on that ticket apparently running behind. It is said to be not impossible that these two Republican Electors have not a majority of votes cast as the remain der of the ticket has, and that in con sequence the vote of the Empire State may be given to both nominees, two to Cleveland and thirty-four to Harrison. Fortunately this w 11 result in no trou ble this time, but its mischievous posai biiitiea can readily be imagined in the ease of a close contest like that of 1S7G. All this chicanery and all the non sense and expense of an electoral Col lege that don't elect could be spared by either voting States on their popular vote direct for the nominees, or by ad ding together the popular vote of all the States for each nominee. The former of these plans is decidedly the better for two reasons ; flrst it would still preserve the individuality of the States in the national contest, for each would vote as a unit ; and, second, the temp tation to the fraudulent piling up of huge majorities in the States would be largely removed when a majority of one would serve as well as majority of 100.000 to give any candidate the vote of a State. Let's have a popular vote for Presi dent by States. iVii t. Herald. Sctteled-But For How Long I The presidency is settled for four years and the composition of congress for two years, but beyond that who can tell ? In no other country is party su premacy so much a matter of uncer tainty and doubt. We would suggest this fact to Republicans who are con gratulatirg themselves on a 23 years' lease of power or to Democrats who in their despondency feel inclined to give up the ship for a generation. There is nothing certain in politics but the un expected. The grasdrather of the president elect swept the country in 1840, having been defeated in 1SCG. but his party met a Waterloo in 1844 under the lead of Harry of the West, the chivalric, magnetic and honest Henry Clay. Honesty doesn't always run with mag netism as the American people have discovered at a later day. In 1S43 the Whigs were again successful, but in 1332 the Democrats with Pierce as their candidate, carried every State but Ver mont and Massachusetts In the North and Tennessee and Kentucky In the South. Pierce had 254 electoral votes to 42 for that grand old soldier, Win field Scott. The politicians of the dav set it down the Democratic party bad come to stay, especially as the Whig partv was falling to pieces. But In two Tears a tidal warn aar.nt that fnr J - - ' - .... w VVU U. I J , and in 1854 the Democrats were beaten out of sight. There was hardly a grease spot Ml Passing by the war period. In 1S72 Grantrbarried the Union bv nearly 800.000 popular majority and 2SC of the 3GG electoral votes. Two! years afterward. In 1S74. bis party was overwhelmingly defeated. North and South, and since that year the Repub lican parly, when it has Succeeded, has wou by a scratch or the lavish use of money contributed by jobbers in politics ana contracts aau n e subsidized pro tected interests. It is not at all prudent to prophesy political results farther aliead than the next election, and you can't always hit It even then. The probabilities are that the difference is rediculous'y small in the popular vote of the conntry. The majority ir congress is meager. The gravest problem of onr history, except that of slaverr. is before the people for settlement. The coming administration must act. The Republican party is no longer an opposition party, but must face the music and shoulder responsi bility. The Democratic party takes its place as the opposition. Pittsburg Post.

Upon the meeting of the Legislature in January the first mea sure to be considered probably will be the resolution to submit a prohibitory amendment to a vote of the people. With an overwhelming majority la each branch, the Republicans will en counter no difficulty or delay in redeem ing their p!edes in this respect. It will be for the Legislature to determine whether the proposed amendment shall be submitted to the popular decision of the next regular State election In No vember, 1889. or whether a special elec tion at an earlier date shall be held for the purpose. Whatever the prohibitory element in the majority shall deem ad visable will be done. The next question is : What would be the fate of a prohibitory amendment at the hands of the people of Pennsyl vania V A Repuolican majority of 60, 000 in the State outside of Philadelphia may well give concern to all those who regard this species of legislation as mischievous and violative of the per sonal rights of the citizen. It is not pretended that a majority of the people of Pennsylvania are favorable to this policy, but experience has repeatedly demonstrated that prohibitory amend ments are carried by other persons than Prohibitionists. There are many voters in the State to whom the present High License laws are as obnoxious aa ouU right Prohibition, and they would vote for a prohibitory amendment, trusting that it would be treated by the Legisla ture with the same neglect that has be fallen other amendments to the Consti tution of Pennsylvania. With the brief experience of tbell'gh License system of Pennsylvania there is no doubt that it ha the strong appioval of the great majority of the people. This Is shown by the fact that in many of the close counties candidates suspect ed of hostility to High License have been defeated. In other counties mem bers who voted for the law have been re-elected by increased majorities. While the law may be susceptible of amendment, especially in those features which harshly Interfere with the inno cent social customs and enjoyment of a large portion of onr citizens, as a system it is s'rongly fortified in public opinion. In this situation the obtrusion of a prohibitory amendment is to be much regretted by all who regard Illffh Li sense as a practicable and effective means of suppressing the evils of the liquor traffic. Should the prohibitory amendment be adopted by a vote of the people cnaos might come again. The Iligh License system would fall to the ground and would be supplanted bv im practicable and abortive enactments to enforce Prohibition. As results, the reign of free but surreptitious whisky would soon follow, and the Legislature would be without the constitutional power to suppress the evil by a High License law. In the LTIgh License law there is the strongest bulwark against the introduc tion of a prohibitory amendment la Pennsylvania. The people who have testified their approval of this policy will not abandon it for the sake of a doubtful experiment that can only be pttrtially enforced by trampling upon the personal liberties or one portion of the citizens of the State, and by making arieaks. hypocrites and law breakers of another portion. But the experi ment will be attempted in spite of the mischievous consequences that would attend its success. The next Legisla ture will pass the amendment according to programme, and the voters of Penn sylvania will go through the turmoil and excitement of a prohibitory liquor campaign. Yet they are no more than 30,000 distinctive Prohibitionists in the State, and for so insignificant a faction it is proposed to get np this electoral performance. There is just one pleas ant consideration about the matter that when once over it would not again trouble the people of Pennsylvania for a long time to come. I'hila. Jiecord. Female Physicians. Nine years ago the Legislature of this State recognized the manifest pro priety of the employment of competent female physicians to have the care of female patients In the State hospitals for the insane by authorizing the mana gers and trustees of State hospitals to employ them. Under the authority of this act this has been done in the bos pitais at Harrisburg Norristown and at the Biock ley Ilospiial, with advanta geous results. There are reasons why competent women should have the care of women patients that are so sugges tive as to preclude the necessity of statement. The late gratifying ad vance made in the instruciion of women at the medical colleges, their admitted proficiency In their profession, and the number of graduates, make it impossi ble to excuse the retention of male physioiaua for this particular work on any other ground than a rooted prefer ence which bars the way to a proper and needful change. The cure of insane patlunts Is cot so much a matter of medicine as of care. Women have al ways been the most tender, watchful and trust-worthy caretakers. They are nurses by natural gift ; and when such capacity is supplemented by proper medical training, their care and skill combined is precisely adapted to euc- o. ui uoapnai woci:. The prof eseion a. female assistance in the hospitals which have taken advantage of legisla tive permission is now so cumulative aud satiafactoiy as to warrant such an amendment to the act of 1879 as would compel the authorities having charge of the Dixmont, Danville and Uarren hospitals to secure the services of skillful resident female physicians. The hospitals are StaU institutions and tLe prejudices of their trnsteea should no longer be allowed to stand in the way of a change which would be an amelioration and a benefleence fully in accord with the popular desire and with the opinion of experts in the treatment of lunacy. Phila. Record. Brick the Best Building MaterlaL Insurance men, as a role, generally claim that a building which la largely constructed of iron is not necessarily fireproof. This may be true to a great extent. Iron when heated, bends very readily under weight, and therefore of itself cannot be called fireproof. There is much, however, to be said of Iron construction. . It prevents fire from spreading, and unless there is a large amount of ioflmmable material within reach of the flames, there is little dan ger that fire will make much headway Stone and granite are very little better than iron to withstand the ravages of TDere is no material that can be nsed for conctruction equal to brick Every brick bears its own weight!
