Hes Cvtleb Id a 8'eccb at Boston a few nights ago predicted that Mexico will bo annexed tothn United States. A Ciiicago woman whose husband's death waa hastened by the use of a!co Lolic drinks, sued a firm which sold fcim the: liquor and obtained judgment for f'.OOO. A man In Newark. X. .1., 13 playing a game of chess with his cousin in Australia by mail. They hare been at it for tire years. The Xewark man now sees defeat staring him in the face. Dcnixn last month thre was t-2, 000,000 paid out in pension?. In the face of that record It is not easy to con jerture why the soldier vote should have been cast against Cleveland. Xo other administration has erer been so .liberal to the pensioners. It oykrn'oti Beaveu, on Wednesday appointed a Commission to investigate the alleged frauds in the election of Judge Me zar, of Lycoming county. As provided by law the commission consists of the three judges nearest to the county w here the contest Is raised Mrs. Senatok Fkye was quoted in the hotels of Wastiiugton last night as aaying to a lady friend that her husband would not have a cabinet piace If offered to him, that he meant to return to the Senate, and that if Mr. Blaine wants his Senate seat he will have to fight for it. The announcement was made at Chicago on Wednesday that Mrs. Snell, widow or the millionaire Soell, who was niurdeied in that city some time ago, had increased the reward for the apprehension of Tascott, the murderer, from f20.000 to $r0.000 making It the largest reward ever offered in the world. Miss Colquitt, the daughter of Sen ator Colquitt, of Georgia, and Miss Breckenridge, the daughter of Repre sentative W. C. P. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, have applied to the Board of School Trustees of Washington for pasitions as teachers in the Washington public schools' Their otject is to gain experience to teach in the South. Fuemdext elect IIariusox, a few days ago received as a present, from a Syracuse. X. Y. firm, a handsome ham meilees double barreled shot gun. In view of the numberless raids made upon him by the hungry horde of ctTice seekers, the firm that made him ihe present evidently bad a good idea of what Mr. Harrison badly needed. A recount of the vote of Charles ton. West Virginia, gives Aldrrson (Democra). for Congress from the third district, a gain of 25 in the ci'y, which elects him by 17. Fleming (Dem ocrat) for Governor, gained 2S votes. This will. It is believed, give the Dem ocrat thd Governor also, and settle finally the question that has so long bung fire. At Washington, the Democratic -members of the naval affairs committee, say toerft will be no difference in the policy to be pursued by the committee in making appropriations for a new navy. President Harrison's adminls- tration will be given the same amount of money for new ships as has been appropriated in the bills passed during Cleveland's administration. A numher of cleigymen of Fro test ant denominations and other promi nent citizens bare issued a circular stating that the number of Protestant churches In proportion to population in Xew York "has declined 50 per cent. snce 1?40, and calling for a confererce at Chickerlng Hall, December 3, 4, 5, to discuss the religious needs of the people and devise means for meeting ite same. The great six days' walking match In Xew York ended on Saturday, with George Little wood, an Englishman, as the champion. He beat the record of James Albert, who in February last walked 621 miles and 7 laps. Little wood made 023 miles and 6 laps, and cou.d have addea several miles to bis score. All he cared- to do, however, was to beat Albert's record and this he lias done with seemirg ease. Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr., has announced her Intention of going on the stage being forced into a position where she must earn her own liviog and support her child. Sao says several criers have been made to her, but she declined to state from whom, or in what capicity she expected to make her debut. X'o word from her husband has been received by her. She baa been at least well advertised. The total Prohibition vote In the country will be about 250,000, not the round million that was claimed again of about 100,000 over St. Jobn'a vote four years ago. So far as reported the vote- has increased in all the States with the exception of Massachusetts, where it foil from 9.923 in ltv-4 tn 8.630 this year ; Xew Hampshire, which shows a decrease of 2 votes, and Vermont, where the vote dropped from 1.753 to 1,459. The London Flawta rd's correspond ent at Borne says : "The French gov ernment has secretly advised the Pope to leave I'a'y In the event of a rupiore "between France and Italy, and has offered all pnsihle assistance in the event of his deciding to go to France.

The fourth anniversary of the format tion of the Eghtetnth Ward Demo cratic Association, Philadelphia, was celebrated last Friday night. Chaun cev F. B ack. President of the Dem cratic Societies of i'ennsylTania, sent the following letter, wh:ch waa read and loudly applauded : "The Democrats of Philadelphia in the late contest covered themselves with glory ; and your association has every reason to be proud of its locg and honorable record aud to look forward to a future of brilliant work. If I know the Democratic party, and 1 think I do, the standard lifted in the late struggle will not be lowered a balr'a-breadib. The battle for re Tom will go on as it has begun and it will be won soon and easily. "It appears now that Mr. Cleveland received t the late election a very fair majority of the popular vote. Does the result of that engagement therefore af ford any reason for discouragement to the D mocracy ? 'Oa the contrary, I regard it as a great and splendid victory. We lose, through the operation of antiquated electoral system, officla! power in the Federal government, and with it the various patronage which is generally a source of political weakness. On the other hand, we have polled a majority of the people of the United States agtinst unjost taxation and in favor of industrial freedom. The power of the tariff superstition has been broken and its hideous idols have been smashed in their owa temples. The Democratic outlook for the future was never bright er than it is this day. We have only to keep onr Democratic societies alive and active, and to carry the gospel of free government and pure to every class of people, and more especially to the con servative agiculturists, to make our final triumb sure and lasting. "I earnestly solicit the aid of the Eighteenth Ward Democratic Associa tion in the prosecution of this impor tant work, of which the Democratic Society of Pennsylvania is the central agency in this great commonwealth. I believe that with honest endeavor in this direction all around we can prom ise you, for 1890. a 'tidal wave like that of 1874, which will sweep down forever the Bourton Federalists, with all their false preteuses and all their schemes of plunder. You will remem ber that in 1S72 the Democrats suffered something more than a Bull Bun disas ter, but in '74 thev bad their Gettys burg, and in'76 their Appomattox. With a system of Democratic societies, properly sustained and extended, I feel as certain as that I now live that the Democratic partv will go back into executive power in 1S92, with an over whelming majority behind it, to remain there at least for a quarter of a century to come." The Democratic majority in the House, if the expressions of the leaders are to be accepted as final says tbe Philadelphia Herald will not investigate the alleged frauds comrxitt:! by the Republicans during tbe campaign and at tbe election. The frauds, it is said, are palpable and unquestionably deter mined the result of the vote on Presi dential Electors in two of the pivotal States and in a number of the Congres sional districts. But there will be no inquiry and noeffoit to fasten the crimes on the perpetrators of them. It is not stated why the Democratic majority in tbe House proposes to adopt this policy of inacMon. It is certainly not for the reason that there is any doubt aa to the authority to in vestigate. That is absolute and unques tioned. It may bo that it is estimated that the tic-e is too short. But that is not a valid excuse. An obvious duty should be attempted anyway, and even if it isn't consummated tbe proper spirit is thereby shown. Tbe Republicans would not forego such an opportunity to arraign their opponents before tbe bar of public opins ion and expoae their villainies. Why shouldn't the Democrats bring shame to the face? of those business men who contributed millions to tbe campaign fund by showing them to what base uses the money was appropriated ? When Quay rppeals for boodle four years hence, the exposure of his meth ods now would restrain any man who la not as dishonest as Quay from contrib uting. Sheriff Martin Van Burex GiFFORDof Erie county, is publicly charged with ill treating prisoners In tbe county jail by underfeeding and re fusing to furnish them with soap and other essentials to personal cleanliness, at the same lime refusing to allow food. etc., to be sent in by friends of the prisoners. A year ago the County Com missioners moved against tbe sheriff in this same direction, and took him into court on a rule to show cause why tbe price of boarding prisoners, as be did it, should not be reduced from 3 to $2 each per week. There waa a big fight over the matter, but tbe sheriff got the best of it. Inas much as he still gets full price while there is no betterment of the fare, ac cording to these later charges. Benjamin Harrison will be 55 years 6 months and 14 days old when be is inaugurated President of tbe (Jolted States. Three other Piesidents were 55 years old at tbe beginning of their ad ministrations. They were Martin Van Buren.Zachary Taylor and Rutherford B. Hayes. Lincoln became President at 52. John Tyler and Chesrer A. Ar tbur were 51. Miilard Fillmore was 50. Franklin Pierce and James A. Garfield were 49. Gruver Cleveland was 43. Grant was 47. All other Presidents were older thau General Harrison. His grandfather was aged 63 years when he was inaugurated President March 4. 1841. A NEW s8tt-m of voting will go Into effec in Massachusetts two years hence. by which it will be Impossible for em ployers or others to intimidate their employes or know how they vote. Every voter will go into the polling tooth atone, where, unseen by employer, de tective or any other person, be will check off frm the long ro:l of the sia-Kt- I allot tbe narc-a bpdirtB to vote !r, tiir ticket b-m similar to those used at our primary elections. Cleveland's Last Message, President Cleveland's last annual message to Congress is a calm, dignified, straightforward document, In which there is not a trace of tbe disappoint ment of defeat. It is an elaborate pa per, embracing summaries of tbe various departments of the sovernment along with his views of general public policy, and we give in full bis sugges tions on the national revenue and nuan ces, omitting tbe department details wbicn are given in tbe regular reports. The President presents the tax issue with its inseperable relations to central ized wealth and tbe oppression of in dustry, as the supreme question of tbe day, and enforces bis convictions with facts and arguments which are un answerable. It will be easy to brush them aside at present, with the flush or party victory that Is held to be tbe answer of the nation to bis policy : but the message delivered to Congress yes terday wi:l be turned to and re-read with quickened interest in tbe near future, when its predictions ill ap proach rea-izition. The slave power of tbo Republic never was so defiant as in 1S57. when Buchanan entered tbe Pres idency by the first defeat of tbe Re publicans and with the Dred Scott det cision, just delivered, nationalizing human bondage. What followed is too fresh in the Bat ion 'a history to need recapitulation. One brief administra tion sealed the doom of slavery, and it was simply a colossal suicide. It could have saved itself, but It would be Cic sar or nothing, and it died unlamented. That was a great battle for the em an elpatloa of slaves from the chains and and lash of the master; the present battle is for tbe emancipation of free labor from tbe chalus and lash of tbe monopolist : and the struggle is possibly accelerated by tbe now common assump tion that centralized wealth has won the victory by ita money and that tax reduction upon the necessaries of life and tbe restraint of monopoly oppression of industry, have been postponed indefi uitely by the solemn verdict of the people. How as in 1S57, tbe legitimate rights of the victors can be fully realized with the cordial assent of tbe nation ; and now, as then, any attempt to give absolute mastery to oppression, must re sult in absolute disaster. Xo man has more n?ei to study with intelligent care the suggestions and admonitions than President-elect Harrison, for he Is the man who must grapple with the issue when the echoes of party victory shall have perished. Tbe people of tbe Union desire a ju dicious protective policy. They want tbe labor of our general productive in dustries protected to the full extent of the difference between tbe wages of foreign and American workingmen ; bnt they co not want, and they will not long tolerate, the prostitution of a ben eficent protective policy for labor to tbe creation and protection of exacting monopoly. And they will be quickened to discrimination between the protection of labor and the protection of monopoly or tne ostentatious contributions to political corruption fnods. which come from those who are amassing wealth by a restrictive tariff policy that gives only high taxes and low wages to labor. If It shall be assumed that the late na tional verdict means immunity to cen tralized wealth and the surrenderor tbe power of the government to tbe few who oppress the many, it will be only a repetition of the madness of tbe slave victors of 1S5G. whose crowning tri- umpn, as tney tnen boasted, was but the opening of their sepulchre. mere is safety to the protection o? labor only in the prompt rednc ion of tbe revenues to the actual necessities of the government ; the reduction of pro tective tariff duties to the standard of honest protection of labor ; the adoption of the policy of free raw material's to protect our own mill and workingmen. and the repeal of al! needless taxes on the necessities of life. With this stand ard of protection, the protective policy would be without assailants in any party or section except by a few dreaming theorists. It is tbe standard of pro tection adopted by the honest protec tionists of 1842 and of 1SG1 ; it is the standard of protection in every protec tive country of the world except our own, and it must soon become tbe ac cepted standard of protection in the United States, unless protectionists in sist upon eelf destruction. The present tariff and tax policy of tbe nation can not stand, and tbe party that refuses honest and thorough tax revision in the interest of the whole people will be broken by the retributive stroke of pop ular condemnation. President Cleve land Is right, be dares to declare bis faith, and the party that is nearest in accord with tbe revenue policy of bis message will be th ruling party of the future. Phila. Times. Tbe Political Tourney. The note of war contained in tbe ru mors about a fight between tbe controll ing elements of Pennsylvania Republi canism bas a promise of fun In tbe near future. There is a general atmosphere of razors In the political boat, and bowie knives In tbe hip pockets, that indicates lively time some time, with the prospect that the naked steel will be glittering is the sunshine about tbe iirst of next month with fatal effect to one or other of the belligerents. This is the substratum which crops out of tbe report that tbe Quay forces bave decided upon a legislative slate, which is certainly kind enough to Alle gheny county in giving the Chief Clerk ship of both branches to Russell Errett and J.ihn W. Morrison. But this liber ality rail to propitiate the opposing forces. The latter bave been distinctly perceived on several occasions to bite their thumbs ; and they are asaumtd to entertain the belief that if they cannot slash the Quay slate to pieces tbe Qaay knife will probe the uttermost depths of their own vitals, neoce slashing and stabbing is on tbe programme for the convening of the Legislature ; and he who gets off with a whole skin will be the victor. Tbe promise of hostilities is encour asinar to those who tiawa tn .,. ' . w .w. DVIUO blUO mourned tbe fiat and eventless disci pline of Pennsylvania Republicanism.

CaineronSQnay'and Bayne. It is among the certainties that Con gressman Thomas M. Bayne, of Alle gheny county, is an aspirant for the Uaited S:ates senatorship two years hence when tbe term of Senator Came ron shall expire. Mr. Biyne bas been ambitious of senatorial honors these many years aod is a bitter and unre lenting anti-Cameron man. He former ly antagonized Quay because tbe "young Napoleon" espoused the Cameron side of the quarrel in tbe Republican party in Pennsylvania, but of late years be has hitched teams with Qaay mainlv in order to check tbe power of Chris. Ma gee, the Cameron leader In Allegheny county. It is evident now that he ex pects the help of Quay in bis contem plated canvass for tbe United States senatorship. Whether be is reckoning without bis host time alone will tell. Tbe composition of President-elect Harrison' cabinet may bave an im portant influence upon the politics of Pennsylvania. For example, if John Sherman sbiuld become Secretary of tbe Treasury, Ssnator Cameron would be greatly strengthened, atd bia enemies io tbe Republican party would find it uphill work to prevent bis re-nomina-ation by tbe party caucus two years hence. Bat at present the outlook is that "Me. Too" Piatt, of Xew York, will be Gen. Harrison's minister of finance, and that if Mr. Sherman sbonld go into the cabinet it will be as secre tary of state. Pennsylvania Republican politicians axe not profoundly interest ed in tbe portfolio for foreigo affairs. and Senator Cameron would not strengthen himself by exiling his friends in consulships abroad. II might, bow- em. get rid of some of Bayne's strik ers by sending them as representatives of the government in foreign countries. Senator Quay is at present a member of tbe committee on post offices and post roads in the senate and if his friend, John Wanamaker, should be come post master general tbe Chairman of the Republican National Committee would have things pretty much bis own way in tbe post office department, it is believed that there is a perfect under standing between Mr. Piatt and Senator Quay and the former's appointment as tne head of the treasury department would eive tbe latter large control of tbe cfncee in the revenue service. Therefore as tbe matter now stands it looks as if Quay will ba boss for tbe next two years and that tbe election of bis colleague in tbe senate in 1S01 will be virtually in bis bands, unless tbe Dem ocrats should bave a windfall in tbe elect iou of members of the legislature. Jlarrisburg Patriot. Good Work Hell Done. Two important achievements stand out prominently in the report of Secre tary Whitney of tbe navy department. In .fi&arcb, 188o, when tbe Cleveland administration went In, we relied on i.ngitsn work-shops for armor plates and steel forging Zor heavy guns. At that time contracts with English manu facturers were pending for armor and gun eteel. amounting to J227.365. Sec retary Whitney at once discontinued purchases abroad, and set himself to tbe encouragement of as American plant that would meet tbe requirements of onr coming navy, by contracts with tbe B-thlehem Steel Works in this State. The result is that we have now an American p'ant "equal to and probably the superior of any in tbe worla for the production of armor and the forglngs for high powered guns." This was the first step toward the creation of a mod ern navy. Four yeais ago tbe construction in America of a first-class armored vessel was impossible. Secretary WLitnev bas changed all this. To-day there are building in tbe ship-yards a dozen ar moied aud unarmored cruisers, and every bolt is made and every bar is wrougnt oy American bands and in American shops. The United States is independent. Everything necessary to a first class figb'.ing ship can be produced aod furnished to the department by our own factories. The actual work of construction is being pushed with energy. "When the ship? in course of construction." says the Secretarv, "and 1 nose aiUBonzea sn:i bave been com peted, the United S'ates will rank se cond among the nations io the poses sion of unarmored cruisers or commerce destroyers." It shows tbe introduction of improved business methods that, not withstanding the large expenditures of tbe depart ment for the three years ending June 30. 18S8, bave been reduced over 20 per. eer,t. compared with the three preced ing years uoaer ilrpublican administra tion. The aggregates are : Ft three years under Republican rule, f 20 221.- &Jl ; ror t hr years under Democratic rule. 515.920,143. This saving of 54,300.000 is a fair start toward paying for tbe new navy. In no case bas any appropriation been over-drawn, aod there bave been no deficiency bills. We are in a fair way to have a navy no American need be ashamed of in contrast with the fleet of ancient and unserviceable tubs bequeathed to tbe Cleveland administration. Secretary Whitney's splendid administrative ca pacity makee pUin sailing for his suc cessor. PitLshnrrj post Ottawa, Ont., Dec 3 A big scheme for the development of the iMiAr. sources of Brazil and tbe opening up of - ir 1 ween mat country, the United States and Canada is proposed by a Syndicate Of Canadian iml a n.orl can capitalists. The syndicate Includes .mayor adooi. or Montreal, who is di rector of the Canadian Pacific railway. It is proposed to establish a steamboat and railway communication between lr. seaport town at the mouth of tbe Amazon, and tbe headwaters of the Rio Tocantino and Araguaya, tributa ries of tbe Amazon. A line of steamers will ply between Para and a point on tbe Rio Tocantino. 300 miles from the coast. Daiigerons rapids will be here overcome by a railway sixty-five miles long. From the western terminus of this projected railway steamers will run 1,500 miles into tbe Interior of tbe coun ry. Tbe sources are described as ilimi taole. In addition to tbe usual tropical productions thousands of tons of hides are to be bad for export. Provided the scheme goes on, a steamship line will be established between Para, Xew York and Montreal. Mr. Poulin Is preparing plans, which will be submitted to the Brazilian government. The Pbilapelphia and Reading Rall load Coal and Iron Company is so much entbnsed over Harrison's election it bas reduced us working days from 10 to 8 hours, with a corresponding reduction In the pay of tbe men. While the necessity too snch a reduction of wages must be regretted, the action of tbe company in taking such a course instead of an absolute shut-down to boll prices of coal to consumers is commendable. Protection, however, does not protect the workingman. A WBa Dlavrx. "Another wooderlul dlaoovery haa been .mad and that too by a lady la tbla eoanty.
