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

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

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

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

Progress in Japan.
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

readily discussed and easily understood.

Pennsylvania will get a reat in Presi
dent Harrison's C-bine:. This much
seems to be conceded. 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

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
