Chairman Kisner, of the Demo cratic Slate Committee, will remove hla headquarters to Harris burg from Philadelphia. Mr. Kisner has not given op the tiriS fight, and be will immediately begin the work of distrib uting literature relative to that sab Ject. Owing to fears that the Panama Canal Company's difficulties may give rise to disorders on the isthmus, the French (rjrernmpnt has decided to send a man-of-war to Colon to protect French interests. It is exacted that the United States will send two war hips to Colon. Sixatou Quay went to Indianapolis cn Tuesday eight and on Weduesday morning he and Harrison met andawapp ed ideas as to the best limber with which to build a cabinet. It is doubt ful whether Quay can suggest to Harrliou, a cabinet that will make very body in the g. o. p. happy. It is well known that Quay has co love for the Jingo statesoar from Maine, and if his advice is followed the 4'.h of next March will be a cold day for Mr. Blaine.

Tbe trust will establish a library and reading room in New York city. Toe residue of the estate, which may be applied by the trust, is valued at a little over $4,000,000. Tbe Judge finds that the provisions of tbe will re garding the Tilden trust are valid and Jawful. Wben tbe findings are proper ly prepared, the case on appeal will be perfected.

" Ymlu-dy in.r. duet-d in Cougress a petitiou on tbe sut-jct of the tariff tbat is as new as it is novel, but In view of tbe fact that it proposes to take some money out of the pockets of ocr tariff industries it Is not likely tha. it will ever again be beard of. "The petition slates that the farmer has to pay a large share of the money realized by manu facturers through the operations of a protective tariff, and proposes a scheme ty which the farmer ehall secure an equalization of favors. The proposition Is tbat Congress shall authorize a fund from which tbe wheat raiser shall be paid 20 cents for every bushel of wheat produced. The amount annually requmd wouM be about $90, 000 000, and he suggests tbat tbe proper way to raise the fund would be to levy a tax on tbe manufacturers of protected goods, tbe price of whose products are Increased by protection. He further suggests tbat a bouncy of 20 centa a bushel on wheat and an average duty on manufactured goods of 40 per cent, should be allowed to stand for two years ; that at tbe end of two years the bounty on wheat be reduced to 15 cents per bosbel, aod the average duty ou manufactured goods be reduced to 30 per cent. That this airangement should also stand for two years and then the bounty on wheat be reduced to 10 cents a bushel and tbe average dnty on manu factured goods be reduced to 20 per cent., and that thereafter tbe bounty on wheat to remain at one-half of what ever tbe average duty on manufactured gosds should be fixed. A table of all the votes cast in the last election, with the exception of Colorado, m de np by Republican au thority ahtwn tbe total rote to have been 10 SG4 434 and that Mr. Cleveland had a majoii'y over Harrison of 107. 004. It is thought by tbe same author ity that Colorado's vote will reduce Mr. Cleveland's majority to very little less than 100.000 any 98.000. In 1SS4 Cleveland's majority over B'ameinthe total vote was 23.005. The total vote of 1SS3 shows an in crease of S82.432 over tfcat of 1SS4 ; the R-pdbUcns gain 370108 ; tbe Democrats 540 440 ; the Prohibitionists 30, 333 ; wble the Labor vote shows a faliiog-off of seme 30.000. The minority ptrty, therefore, will bold tbe reins of Government tbe next four years. It will make and enforce the laws tor the majority. It will dispose of tbe offices and public places declaring that tbe people at the late election di reeled it to do so. Woist of all it will refuse to reduce the tariff except at the wish ar.d by the will of its beneficiaries, although a mj iritv of 100.000 in the country declares tbat the Mills bill waa right, righteous, and necessary. The figures warn the It-publican par ty that it states on slippery places. Four yens hence it is likely to be found prone and rejected. Tbe money of the Quays and Wanamakers which befouled New York and thwarted there the people's will, ill not serve four years later to d- file the ballot-box and elect the candidate o the minority. Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, says tbe Harnsburg Patriot, while speaking in approval of the. senate tariff bill on Monday, showed conclusively that be is wedded to tbe interes; of the monopolists and that he proposes to stand in line with the gilt-edged legis lators who favor unnecessary and an just, taxation. II bad tbe impudence to say tbat tbe American wo.kingman, if he behaved himself, could live In luxury, aud !n fact he drw a remarkably pleasant picture of tbe condition of the wage-worker cf this country. Of coutae Senator Edmnods said nothing about tLe faet tbat since tbe 6 h of November hundreds of work shops throughout the country have closed for an indefinite period, nor did he say anything about the reduction in wages that has been made by some of tbe very protected manufacturers who need the Republican pay envelopes to intimidate their men just before tbe late election. Senator Edmunds bas a convenient memory. Tneie is a vast difference. Indeed, between tbe actual life of tbe Ameri can working-man and bis condition as depleted In the oratorical chromo of tbe senator from Vermont. Senator Edmunds resembles Jerome of Prague in personal aasearance but not in devo tion to tbe truth. No news baa been received at the navy department in tegaid to tbe United States steamers Galena and Yantic since their departure from New Yoik and cone is expected for several days yet. It is the impression of many naval officers that tbe steamer II ytian Re public will have been surrendered and be on ber way to New York before tbe Galena and Yantic arrive at Port aa Priuce, aca in that case, the matter of Indemnity will then be tbe only thing to be settled. Tbe United States Steamer Richmond will be ready for sea to-day, and tbe United States steamer Ossfpee at Norfolk by tbe first of the month. The intention was to send these vessels to Hajtl aa soon as they conld be pre pared, but, from present indications, it Is not regarded as at all probable tbat either of tbem will go there. News has beeu received in Eoglsnd to tha ffct tbat Stanley, the African Explorer, and Emin Pasha have been captured by the Mhdi and that Odtnan .Diana has expressed a willingness to surrender tbem provided tbat Eypt would agree to abandon Suaklm. If this proposition is not accepted by Eng land, which country is really the power that is making, war upon the Mahdi, then tbe prisoners will share tbe fate of Gen.

News reached here this morniLg of a horrible tragedy enacted at the quiet little village of Wahalak, forty miles south of this city, on the Mobile and Onto railroad last night, whert five men were killed outright and six wounded, three mortally, by a volley of lead from tbe hands of desperate mob of blood thirsty negroes. Tbe only particulars to be bad are as follows : Some two months ago a white farmer living a few miles from tbe almost desolate village lost bis bouse, together with eight or ten bales of cotton, by a fire which was at once directed o one or two negroes living in the viciuity. with whom tbe farmer bad bad some trouble. The officers In tbe meantime had been searching for evidence against negroes. Yesterday morning, sufficient evidence having been secured, the white man swore out a warrant for the negro's ar rest and Constable setb Cobb went to tbe negro's bouse to execute It. when he was attacked by a number of negroes and beaten. lie then summoned a possee of twelve mn and went yester day evening to arrest tbe negro. Tbe woods in tbe vicinity were scour ed bat without result. Not a trace of him could be fonnd. and it was decided by tbe posse to act in a body and sur round his premises. They had proceeded only a few miles in tbe direction of the negro's bouse when rom an ambush came a deadly volley. Fi'ty well armed negroes com posed the mob. After every white man bad fallen to the ground the negroes dispersed. The news spread ranidly and the negroes were strongly reinforced. Wahalak telegraphed along tbe line for help and Meridian respond! with about seventy-five well-armed men. They were-joined at every station, and, reaching Wahalak. marched immediate ly to the scene of bloodshed. Tbe ne groee were barricaded, and refosd to surrender or give np the dead whites. At noon the forcas were supposed to be about tqual. and what the result Is do one here knows. Tbis afternoon, news was received that the belligerent negroes have re treated to tbe swamps and are stubborn, wbile the non combatant negroes are fleeing to the woods in terror. Cap tain McDowell of the Columbus Rifle men, telegraphed to tbe Sheriff of Kemper county that bis men wererea-iy if be snouid ask the Governor for mili tary assistance. Tbe teltgram was not delivered, as the Sheriff was not in town. There is considerable excite ment bere. and news of the development is waited with the utmost anxiety. Tbe following is a list of tbe killed : Ilen rv Mury, Seth Cobb. Torn Nicholson, Bill Vaugn, Bill Hare. Tbe wounded rre : Frank Maury, Tom Giles. Bob Harper, U. L. Harper, John Dow, Jeff Thomas. Twenty young men of Macon, Miss., have gone to tbe scene of tbe trouble, two of i hem being recently of tbe North. Tbe negroes are said to be well armed and assembled ea masse, and to seem determined to fight it out. Seventy five well armed men left Meridan. M-sa., at 10 o'clock tbis morning for tbe scene of the tragedy, and a ep-cial train loaded with troops left at 1 o'clock. West Point will f nr n'.eU help s soon aa the necessary ad vices can be had. A Lively Chicago Industry. If the big capitalists at Chicago go on with their cornerirg process every commnmty must in time be persuaded of tbe excellence of having resources nearer home to fall back upon. The see-saw proceedings in tbe butter mar ket ; the periodical jumps and breaks in grain ; the fact tbat, though tbe price of cattle on the hoof bas gone down, the cost of beef holds np ; these are a few recent "pointers" on the purpose of the Chicago speculators to krptbe country payings vailed but continuous tribute on tbe necessaries of life. Chicago, in addition to its mer cantile function as a distributing place for the Northwest, is also quite evident ly engaged to a 'arge extent in the bus iness of "living on its wits." Since. Kansas City and other ar Western points began to divide Chicago packing and grain trade, and Philadelphia pro moters picked up Chicago's street rail ways and gs companies for a mere song, tbe native epeculators show a fierce desire to revenge themselves or the rest of the world by betting the prices of Lread. butter, meat and other edibles np and down out of any reason able relation what see ver to tbe real condition of supply and demand. Dol lars are as plenty as blackberries to the shrew msnipulators who can levy on tbe breakfast or tbe dinner table frcm i one end of tbe land to the other when ever it enits them. Tbe country looks for these corners" and "booms" and 'breaks" every few weeks now ; and be who has tbe capital and art to engineer a successful "flurry" finds such a ready source of revenue thai be need not trouble himself about any more honest or eomendable form of labor. I f the cornering an1 gambling processes are to goon deranging tbe markets the public will surely soon be compelled to look forward to some sort of effectual remedy. Pittsburg Dixpatch. The New Tork Squabble. Tae factional quarrel among the Re publicans in New York is little less bit ter now tbau it was wben Conkling and Tiait resigned their seats in tbe United States Senate snd were succeeded by Warner Miller and Lapham. The lead ers in the present quarrel are tbe same as those who then arrayed the forces except for Conkling' absence snd tLat the supporteisor tbe eon stants have been changed somtwhar. Blaine is now cheek by-jowl with Piatt, while In tbe former contest he inspired the oppo sition. The resolntiona aflor.t.i h- ti - tti w ... ' league l:ud tne otber evening may be accepted as a covert attack against Piatt. It was the original intention nf the L-ague leaders to recommend War ner Miller as the New York representa tive in the Cabinet. But Piatt 'e friends In the organization were too strong or bis enemies bad an unexpected attack of prudence and tbe idea was abandon ed. The demand for a man of spotless personal character and the deprecation of personal eolicitation were regarded as sufficient. Mrantime it looks as if the Republi cans of New York would destroy ail chances of recognition bv their tntestios al quarrels. President Harrison cao not well afford to name eitbar of the as pi rants at the expense or tbe active hos tility of the otber. It may be that be will throw tbem both overboard and reconcile the people of tbe State to tbe dinappoin'ment by sending Cbauneey M D-pw to the Court of S James.

Trial botUe (re at the dm store of CJamet, Ebeortrara;, and W. V'. rieAtter, Iffettu. it ill Bialue be Premier I There is quite a flurry in leading Rs puolican circles over the premature an nouncement that Blaine bad been invited by narrison to tbe Premiership of the uew administration, and tbat tbe proffer bad been accepted. Tbe cir cumstantial statement of tbe New York Press, in which Elkins is a controlling spirit if not an owner, and the recent visit of the younger Harrison to Elkins in New York, compelled the leaders for the first time to squarely face the pro bability of Blaine's selection as Premier. Tbe first and most important response to tbe suggestion of B aioe aa Premier, came from tbe New York Union League Club. At a large meeting beld on Friday evening last, resolutions were unanimously adopted striking out from the shoulder against Blaine and Piatt as Cabinet expectants. They call upon the new President to select bis own Cabinet "regardless of all at tempts at dictation from any quarter," and denounce "tbe studied efforts tbat are being made with undisguised im pertinence, to force his hand and to put a poo bim clamorous applicants for places in bis Cabinet upon tbe ground of alleged partisan services or pecuniary contributions or local control." That the selection of Blaine as Pre mier of the new administration would start Harrison with general distrust among business circles as well as among a large portion of the best elements of earnest Republicans, is a fact tbat no intelligent observer of tbe situation can overlook or dispnt. In this'S'ate it would speedilv precipitate a conflict of grave proportions, and all the combined forbearance and ekill of leaders conld not avert It. It is the only serious menance to Quay's mastery not only in Pennsylvania but in tbe nation as tbe accepted leader, and it la to day the most serious menance to the success of tbe Harrison administration. It is Idle to assume that Blaine could be Premier and not control tbe favors of tbe new administration, ne is over loaded with aetive, ambitious friends who have long services to present for re ward, and be bas a multitude of ene mies to punish. All tbe other competi tors of Harrison combined have not so many friends to make claims apon them or so many enemies to Invite resent ment as bas Blaine, and he must sub stantially role in the Cabinet or create the widest and keenest disappoint ments. If be fails to role, be woold of necessity aoon retire, and tbe breach between Blaine and Harrison would be only more intense than if Blaine bad not been appointed. The Blaine problem Is the most seri ous one that tbe cew President must solve In advance of his entrance apon bis high office, and bis solution of it will do much to inspire confidence or arouse distrust in bis administration. Toe bold admonition of tbe New York Un ion League clearly expresses tbe senti ments of the great maes of tbe Repub lican people on the Cabinet, and there Is safety to Harrison on'y In obeying it. If be hall ohev it. Blaine cannot be Premier. Phila. Times. 1 Gigantic Scheme for Bobbery. Salt is a necessity. It is universally used. Not only necessary to man, but to many beasts as well. Tbe farmer must have large quantities for bis domestic animals ard for curing pur poses in addition to tbe ordinary culina ry ose. ' Salt is "protected" by high tariff. Tbis is alleged to be for the bent fit of labor, bnt labor only gets 26 per cent, of tbe total product which is furnished by nature free of charge. And now a salt trust is being organized in tbis country to extort unreasonable prices from tbe peop!e for sc article they cannot do without. A salt trust bss already been organ ized in England and bas raised prices inordinately. The American sgto'a for this trus'. are Tburber. WyUnd & Co. The bead of tbis firm n. K. Thorher is the man who circulated 5 000.000 Re publican campaign tracts, including forged extracts from tbe London Times, to save tbe tariff. He Is an extensive impotter. This firm is at tbe bead of tbe trust being organized in tbis coun- tiy. Next to it is Levi P. Morton. Vica President-elect on the monopoly t riff ticket. Tbe proposition is to pot a pirt of tbe truK stock in tbe hands of the Eng I:eh salt trust. Tbe inteation i to ad ance the price far beyond the Eoglish extortion pins tbe tariff. The stock given the English trust is compensation lo prevent Us competition beyond tbe amount of English salt Thnrber, Wy land & Co., as agents, will want to sell in tbe American market Tbe taiiff was maintained merely as a threat lo induce tbe English monopoly to enter into tbe American arrangement instead of competing with it. Levi P. Morton. English banker and vice President-elect of tbe United States, is party to tbis conspiracy to rob American farmers, mechanics and laborers. Gov ernment of, for and by the people ! What a farce 1 Tbe worst or it is, relief can hardly be expected from a Republican majority in Congress bougbt by boodle just as tbe vice presidency was. This majority was bougbt ; this vice-presidency and tbe presidency, too, for he very pur pose of maintaining tbe monopoly tariff and a surplus revenue to fatten bond holders with extravagant premiums and jobbers with appropriations for tbe pub lic funds, and to protect monopolies against popular legialation. Pittsburg Post. Aqnarianlsm In Politics. Tbe Voice, tbe sole and genial organ of the Prohibitionists, rejoices over an increase of 100,000 in tbe acqnarian vote of the country within four vearr. From 150 000 tha vote bas increased to a little over 250 000. The party has gained about 67 per cent., and, reckon ing by percentage of growth, this is l Qt encouraging. Bnt as tbe Prnhl ! fei t tstva vfAt si las anIw bition rote is only about one fiftieth of tbe total vote of t be country it will be a long time before tbe party will be likely to attain a majority, even at ibis rate of growth. In Pennsylvania tbe party appears to beat a standstill. Tbis largely it not wholly doe to tbe popular approval of tbe High License law. The law is n garaed witn so much favor tbat very few of Ha enemies have obtained seats in tbe State Legislature. It is probable that there will not be in tbe next Legis lature a baker's dozen of distinctive Prohibitionists. Yet for tbe sake of this small faction it is proposed to pot a prohibitory constitnt tonal amendment to a popular vote in Pennsylvania. The defeat of such an amendment tntgbt be rationally expected from tbe numerical weakness of tbe faction ad vocating it, and from tbe success of tbe High License policy. But should the amendment be carried by reason of a transient emotional wave, as bas been tbe case in a few other States, tbe nigh License svstem would be destroyed, wbile tbe Prohibition substitute would inevitably prove a failure. Tbe result woo'd be a free and unlicensed liquor traffic throughout tbe Commonwealth. It is doubtful whether any Pennsyl vania Legislature wonld naaa the necessary to enforce a prohibitory I r,Tet wmP amendment ; and even If adopted it ' rroro wtl!cn wi might remain a mere empty proclama tion. Indeed, it would be impossible to enforce Prohibition in any ci'y or large town of the Commonwealth in the pie sent condition of publie opinion on tbe subject. Phila.
