General Hastings will visit Washing ton to secure headquarters for the Na tional Guard. lit denies that the troops misbehaved at tbe inauguration of Cleveland, and says he will be respon Bible for their conduct at Harrison's inauguration. Pretty much everything else about tbe recent election in West Virginia is involved In doubt, but one question is decisively settled. A prohibition amendment to tbe constitution was sub mitted to popular vote, and it was tuned under an adverse majority esti mated aa high aa 40,000. Tbe move ment to incorporate prohibition in the fundamental law has met one unbroken series of defeats ever since such au amendment was defeated by a narrow margin in Michigan a year ago last spring. Oregon. Texas, Tennessee, and now West Virginia, having decided against it. A small blaze in tbe kitchen of a Jersey City hotel created a tremendous rumpus on Tuesday morning. Tbe house was full of actresses belonging to tbe 'Siberia" company. They became panic stricken as soon as they saw tbe fire engines. Several clamered down the fire-escapes without waiting to Jress. A doz-?c or more tumbled over each other in their wild baste to get through the froct door in their night clothes. Barefooted and screaming they ran down the street to tbe Penn sylvania Railway station. The fire In the kitchen was extinguished without difficulty. Tbe porters from the hotel carried to tbe frightened women clothes caough for thtm to return to the hotel in No one was seriously hurt. A TERRCLE storm raged along the Atlantic coast all day and night on Sunday. IIue waves backed by north erly winds rolled with mighty force and all vessels without good anchorage were at the mercy of the waves. The Edward Norton, a Boston vessel with a crew of sixteen went ashore on First Cliff Point, Massachusetts, and fifteen of the crew perished one man only succeeding in reaching tbe chore. All along tha coast vessels were driven ashore and wrecked, and in almost every instance some of the crew were washed overboard and drowned. Tbe wind played bavp among tbe shipping all along the const. In New i'ork, tbe Pennsylvania Railroad lost a num ber of barges with their freight. They were beitg lowed up the bay when the gale broke, and the strong wind snob broke their lashli;gs and thy went l ,wn.

The Ne Vurk Mail and rrfM, tbe evening organ of tbe Republican party ot that city," says the Philadel phia Jlerald, "whose millionaire editor was one of tbe largest contributors to the Republican corruption fund, states that on tbe Saturday evening before the election SloO.OOO were placed in tbe hands of "a Republican State leader, none if which went to tbe County Com mittee vr to the necessary and legiti mate expenses of tbe campaign." It was appropriated, a: the Christian edi torial brother states, to purchase voters. Samuel Kercheval is the Chairman of 'tbe Republican County Committee in Spencer county, Indiana. Spetkiug of the victory after the event he is said to have stated : "It was an expensive campaign, the most expensive the State has ever known. The price of votes averaged $20 each and in some cases we bad to pay high as 40 and 30 ; but we got them and carried tbe S ate." Io explaining subsequently bow tbe pur chased votes were held, be added : "If you buy dry goods you get tbe package when yon give the money. We went on the same piiuciple. President Cleveland was defeated by a narrow majority In New York and by Itss than 2500 plurality in Indiana, and thus tbe administration of tbe gov ernment goes from his parly to that of the opposition. But in view ot tbe tes timony of these two competent wit nesses the defeat was neither a con demnation of the man cor the princi ples be represented. Moreover, a triumph thus obtained will not be per manent and is like to plague those who proQt by it." The lurid announcement says tbe N. Y. WorM that General IIrmon is contemplating tbe annexation of Canada aa his first coup d' e.at baa caused a profound and rauklinz sensation. Tie few simples of tbe scheme are that the United States shall pay J.WO.OUO.OOO which Canada owes, pay England so much an acre for Canadian soil at pre sent untenanted, dissolve tbe Parlia ment, fire tbe army of customs officers and haul np tbe Anihricin flag with three cheers. Ia return for these ex penditures of money anp nerve force we wou!d acquire) several hundred square miles ot fir codrlsbicg, gain title to several million Kanucks. obtain tbe pleasure and proiit of supporting twenty-seven more tribes of Indians and enable members of tbe Restigoucbe Club to ship an occasional salmon to this city without duty. We would also acquire an entire colony of long needed boodlers. Any far-eeing statesman can readily perceive tbe immense advantage of an nexing at tremendous cost a provlnee which England would be willing to sell, for Eo gland invaribly sells tier chattels at a profit of certainly not more than several hundred per cent. S:i'l, it is to be seriously doubted that General Har rison contemplates mak inz such a move for several months. Tn-re is fair fiah ibg stiil to be bad at Patcbogue, Green wood Lake and Fire Island, and there are enough of the boodlera stiil left in New York tokeep the District Attorney m inocuous desuetude for some years. Decides, Canada is too cheap. Let us get something expensive by which to remember Mr. Harrison. A Washington dispatch says : Wbile there Las been some loud talk supposed to emanate from Democrats about efforts to maintain tbe parly's control in tbe House of tha next Con gress, it has generally baec the utter-, ance of some official who hoped to re tain bis pla;e. Certainly there is no disposition on tbe part of the Democrat ic members who are already in the city to ravor taking any unfair advantage to maintain a Democratic majorilv in the House, and if on the face of tbe returns the Republicans shall have a 'majority the Democrats will make no opposition to their organizing the House unless there should ba clear evidenca that some of the certificates bad been tecured by fraud Tney'll watch with interest tbe result of tbe protests made it the indi vidual districts against tbe election of Republicans, but if the State counts shall decide in favor of those who hold tbe certificates tbe Democrats in Con gress will not attempt, to interfere further. James Carnie. one of tbe IIadon Bay Company's chief factors in Artie circles, arrived at Winnipeg, Mtnitoba, on Sunday. He reports that be met Lord Lonsdale two months ago near tbe Artie circle. He was traveling with two Esquimau guides and one personal attendant. His Engltsa servant bad left him two weeks before, and be was pushing northward as rapid'y as possi ble. I1 1 walked all day, a displayed such remarkable endurance that the na tives regard him as a prodigy, and refer to him as "the man who walks fast." He spoke confidently ot being able, in bis simple m de of traveling, to reach tbe North Pole, I? his alter d ant i would stick to bim. He said that at leas', be would pierce further nor h than any white man had ever gone. The jury in tns case of Mrs. Sarah Jane Wulteling, who has been on trial at Philadelpeia, for the past three days on a charge of causing tbe death of her nin year old daughter. Bertha, by ad ministering poison, in April last, brought in a verdict of murder in the first degree on Wednesday evening, after being out two houra. The crime for which Mrs. Wniteling was tried was one of a aeries of three with which she was charged, the allegation being that h not only murdered her daughter, lWlba, but also her husband, John Wb'.teliog. and tbeir baby boy, William C. Whiteling. aged two years, and collected insurance on tbe lives of her voctimn, amounting in tbe aggregate to oyer J3.70.

Japan was opened to the commerce of tbe world by commodore Perry ia 184. For centuries its ports bad ben closeJ doors ; Its shipping piratical, and tbe knowledge that got outside or its government and social characteristics, repugnant, treacherous and bloody. All is now changed. Youi around trie world excureian ticket takes you through Japan more comfortrbly than through Russia, and its people are vast ly mure pleasant in intercourse than the average Briton. After Commodore Perry's visit the fleets of other nations called on Japan, and there was a gen eral interchange of diplomatic courte sies. The Japanese soon began to take lessons from the previously despised outside barbarians, and since then they have been making rapid progress. A recent letter to tbe Loudon Tinus tells something of what has been accom plished witbin the past ten years. Tbe writer says rhat the foreign trade of the country in 1SS7 amounted to f 15.000. 000. while in 18S1 it was only Sol.OOO, 000 an increase of 80 rr cent. Ten years ago tbe number of foreign vessels entering Japanese ports was only 200. with total tonnage of 244.000, while last year the cumber of vessels was i43, and their aggregate tonnage was 1,209, 42$. During the last year 151 miles or railway were built, increasing the total mileage or the country to 521. Tbe construction last year was more than twice as great as in any previous year. The government is constructing roads with money borrowed at home. Tne cost or cons'.rncrlng tbe first railway in Japan was 540.000 per mile ; those last constructed cost only J1S.00U per mile. At Yckobama. the principal seaport, tbey have modern water works in pro cess or construction, and others are pro jected in oihtr cities. River and har bor improvements are in progress and contemplated. Business and industrial enterprises which were unknown 20 years gc uder tbe reuda! system are now flourishing. In the thre cities of Tokto. Oiaka and Kioto are 111 large companies, industrial and commercial, which were organized last year, with an aggregate capital or S21.000.0U0. Dur ing the same time 13 banks added $13, 000.000 to their capital. In a'l. shares in various public undertakings to tbe amount of more than $71,000 000 were taken up by the people in 1SS7. equal to nealy ?2 per head for the entire popula tion. Among the organizations of last year were companies for cotton spinning. paper making, dyeing, glass blowing, engineering, agriculture, tbe manufac ture of porcelain, lacques and many other things. The growth of cotton manufacturers has been especially re markable. The Japanese borrowed their mone tary eystem from us, and issued a large amount ot paper money large for a country where ihe range or prices is very Inw and suspenslou of specie payments and great depreciation or tbe paper naturally followed. Indeed, the Japan ese seemed to have imbibed for a time the fiat money notions. Tbey were not alow iu following tbe good example we set i hem when we tet our faces resolutely toward specie resump tion. In l-J they began the work ty withdrawing the paper money. At that time tbe amount of the fiat stuff afloat was 140.000,000 yen. equal to about tbe ?am amouut of silver dollars. Of this 22.000.000 had been retired by 1835, when resumption v as announced. Prices fell, tbe burden of fixed obliga tions was increased, enterprise was deadened, and there was depression of industry and trade in every direction, as there was in this country daring tbe years immediately preceding resump tion. But as soon as specie payments had been fairly resumed there was a wondeful revival ot Industry and trade, just as there was here for some three years af'er resumption. Business, industries and public enter prises are so fl jurlshing in Japan, that there are apprehensions of a reaction, when the boom shall have spent i s force. However that may be. there can be no doubt whatever that Japan has made very great and very substantial progress since it bas cast off its protect ive xclusiveness and placed itself will ingly in contact with tha most enlight ened nations of the world. Pittsburg l'ost. Ihe brand Army Miam. The withdrawal of General John M. Palmer, of Illinois, from tbe G. A. It. is alike creditable to his Intelligence and bis patriotism. He bad believed it fraternal, charitable and non parti san ; h9 round from bis own observa tion that it was a partisan machine, using its influence in politics to force leg'slation to transfer rnuuey from the treasury to the pockets of its members. General 'John A. McClernand. of Illinois, bas also withdrawn from this Republican organization, and tbe indi cations ar there will be a general l.".nj slide all over the country in tbe same direction. Private Dalzeli, in bis re cent later indicating the ultra and bitter R-publican partisanship of tbe Grand Army, bas brought Ihe matter up in concrete shape, so that it can be readily discussed and easily understood. He strips off all shams. Tbe Democrat ic so'dters io Indiana are moving in tbe matter of a new organization of Demo cratic veterans. An Indianapolis dis patch nays : Tha movemeut credited to Geneial Pal mer, of Illinois, to withdraw from tbe Oranri Army of tbe Republic because) of its partisan character bas already found voice in this State, and AdJutaDt General Kountt in correspondence with activa G.

In tbeir judgment, demon strated that the Influence of th G. A. It., as It now stands, was exerted Id favor of the lt-publlcan party. It Is expected that the movement for a distinct organization will take definite form next month. Lt tbe Grand Army stand on its merits as a partisan organization ; a spoke of the R-ublican machine. Its influence comes largely from its alleged non-political character, and when it is stripped of this pretense its influence will be precisely that of any other political dub. Of late Its mission has been to insult the representatives of the Democratic party and humiliate Us Democratic membership. It Is a first class instil aMon for Dimocrats to get out of. Pittsburg rost. TnE Tnlted Stftes Geological Surrey gives some mining statistics that shows something of the wonderful wealth nf ', this coun'ry. judged by the immense mm i eral output for tbe past year. The total value of a'l minerals mined in 1SS7 was 5o.-J3.000 000. This is 70 000,000 more tha-. the output of 1SSG. and over ! f I 000.000 greater than that for 1SS5.

A number of the eminent ciiiz-ns cf the Keystone State will have their fun between now and tbe 4:h of next March. Tbey will live ia the ecstatic realms of future bliss akin to a man who expects to get a fortune on that day. But many of them will be disappointed. The story bas reached here that Senator Quay is not at all pleased with tbe ouiloos. He has been regarded as the Moses who is to lead tbe Pennsylvania Republicans into the land of milk- and boey, and the children bave deserted their former masters and flocked to his standard. Rut Quay bas been told that some one else will be consulted in Pennsylvania. This caused a ruction at the outset, and there promises to" be trouble. Quay has pushed John Wanamaker to the front for a Cabinet position. But it is said that Mr. Wanamaker will not get the coveted prize. Quay was afraid thai Wharton Barker, who is a close personal, first-for-Harrison-all the-time friend of tbe President-elect, might be awarded tbe portfolio. The story goes here tht Charles II. Cramp, tbe Dela ware ship-buiider, called noon General Harrison in the interest or Barker for Secretary of the Is'avy. From reliable sources it is learned that Mr. Barker would decline any position in the Cab inet except that of Secretary or the Treasury. Wanamaker would take tbe Postmaster Generalship, and there tbe matter ends. Quay has set out to beat Baiker for anything that he may want, and Barker is a fighter who never knows when the judges call 'time." Therefore tbe spectacle will be an interesting one for Pennsylvanianp. Those who revel in tbe anticipation that there will be a clean sweep of tbe office holdersearly next year make a great a mistake. Close friends of tbe President-elect declare that his admin istration will be one of tbe faithful ad ministration of the Civil Service law. He believes tbat no man should be removed from tbe Government service unless for cause, and tbat cause roust be a true one. When this fact is ex pressed upon the politicians icy shivers will creep down tbe spines of tbe hun dreds of expectant place-holders in Philadelphia. General Harrison also proposes to select his own Cabinet. This may occasion some astonishment. He knows all the promioent men in tbe country, and will bave no trouble to pick bis timber. The President elect is a good listener. He will absorb, or apparent ly accept, all tbe advice tbat is tendered him, and then do as he pleases. This was a peculiarity nf tbe late Brother Hayes, and he made the politicians howl. "To whom does Harrison owe his nomination ?" I asked of a near friend at the Harrison mansion. "It srems to ton tbat be is free from political entanglements, and tbat be can do pretty much as be pleases." was the answer. "Tbe people elected bim." This was said in a tone to indicate that President Harrison woold be an independent of the moet independent sort. A Convenient Theory. - A remarkable theory of tbe veto, development apparently for the purpose of removing alike authority and respon sibility from tbe shoulders of tbe exec utive, appears to have been adopted by Governor Beaver. At all events be is reported, when asked whether he would s'gn a bill amending the Brooks' law in the interest of tbe saloons, to have replied. My Idea of the veto power as vested In the Governor. I think would meet tbe case. Tbe Legislature Is elected by the people nod Is supposed to represent tbeir wishes. If a bill ia presented to me for signature, and it U not unconstitutional, I deem it my duty to sign it reeardiess of my personal views in tbe matter. This view of the exercise of the veto power is convenient alike for Govern ors who are willing to escape the re sponsibilities of tbeir position, and tor campaign orators as a lever for attack ing executives who exercise that power too freely. But its weak point is tbat it bas not the slightest foundation in the constitution either of the S ate or nation. The provisions of each instrument are in similar language. Each says, with regard to the presentation ot legislation to either the Governor or President, "If he approve be shall return it" to the Legislature. There is no lestric tion of tbe veto power to unconstitu tional measures, iu this language. S.gnature means approval of the legis la ion, and unless the Executive does approve tbe measure be is required to send it back. Iz would bave been very easy for the constitution to have said that the Gov ernor should only veto unconstilutioial measures, if it bad meant that. But, bee ides tbe manifest theory or that in strument tbat tbe Judiciary is very well able to ruie npon constitutionality or legislation, the constitution or Penn sylvania affords direct evidence tbat there is no such restriction npon the veto power. It provides directly for the power of vetoing Items of appropri ation, so tbat tbe Governor may veto not ouly lawe or which he disapproves but appropriations which are extrava gant, without reference to their consti tutionality. Our constitutions are written in toler ably perspicuous English, and a good way of construing them is to take them to mean what they say. Pittsburg Ih's jtatck. They Learn Slow. The one thing concerning tbe late elcbiion that viands out moat prominent ly before the country is the fact that the Democrats made gains iu almost every manufictur nc center of the United States, wbile tbeir losses are mainly out side of these center. Tbe reason tor this may re found in tbe fact tbat in tb manufacturing centers tbe work ingmen, and more enligh ened and lees selfish employes of labor understood tbe question in all its relations and voted for tariff reform, while in remote places where the question was not so under stood or was purposely misrepresented, and where tbe trusts and combines worked upon the fears of the people and expended mcch money, tbe R-publicans had gains. Tbe farmers in many parts of tbe country, like the workmen in the shops, were thoroughly posted upon the ques tion, while there is another class of far mers who bave been misled as to tbe real effect of the tar.ff upon tbem. This latter class will learn later on that a law enables the manufacturers of the country to inordinately enrich them selves at the expense of the farming and laboring interests is ail wrong. The manufacturers are furnishing tbe money to tbe farmers to plaster tbeir farms with mortgages, which are constanly increasing in numbers and amounts by reason o the failure to make agricul tural business pay. This is true, which the facts bear out. C7cre land Plain Iicaler. WaBr ral Caret. W. V. Hort A Co.. Wholesale and Retail Drug gists of Home, Ui., fay : We hare been selling Er.
