EBEKSCURC. PA.. FRIDAY, - - MARCH 1. m Titere Is no telling how low the tuercnry wou!4 have trone on Sunday List, had it not been fot the tariff whicS Las a tendenJy to keep everything up. TnE Tope has written a letter approv ing the statutes of the Catholic Univer sity at Wastiogton, and lauding the zeal and Intelligence of the Catholics of America. President-elect IIarriso.v, pack fd hia gripsack on Monday morning and accomprnied by hia family, left Indla-napoJl-, Indiana, for Washington where he arrived on Tuesday Dight. TnE We? Virginia legislature Thurs day reflected John E Xenna United States Senator fof six years from the -ith of March next. Dorr, the hitherto boli'inj Dt-mocraf, came lcta camp and vcted for Mr. Kenna, as well as Ilorr, a Union Labor man, who bad occasion ally voted for Uoff. The two other La bor men, incladinjr the slippery Carr, votad for ;oT. The Tull vote of tf-e leeisbfure was cast, Kenna receiving -1G and UofI 13 votes. On Wednesday General aud Mrs. Harrison drove to the Executive Mar Fion and dined, by invitation, with the President and Mrs. Cleveland. Mrs. Foisom made the fifth member of the rarty. The occasion was almost infor mal in its nature. Long after coffee was served General Harrison sat ta!k iu with the President, and Mrs. Cleve land entertained Mrs. Harrison. Good night wasiaid at 10 o'ciock. and at 10:15 General and Mrs. Harriuon were again in their apartment at the hotel. Eighty-foci; vessel were lost at ss?a In 13SS. The full number of ves sels that are never heard of arter they leave poit is probably never known by the general public. In the month of April, ltvt, seventy-five sailing vessels and nine steamers were reported lost and missing. This w w an exceptionally stormy month, and although some of these vessels afterward made pott, the majority of tbem wera never heard of. The crews sometimes weut down with their ships, or else were pick-?! up at sea by passing vessels. Thf Philadelphia I'ress (Ipoblican) s:v9 t Mr. Harrison la not a millionaire himself, being probably ou about tie same financial plane with Mr. Cleve land, but with a ten-million vice presi dent, a millionaire secretary of State In U!ainp, a ilve-milliun secretary of the tiensury in Windom, a fi?e million et cretary cf the navy in Warner Miller, and the rrt of hia cabinet made up, as it is likely to b cf millionaires of va rious decrees. It will be seea that the millions will be liberally represented in trio cumins administration, even of the poorer folk are nor. Tur talk of the use of money in con rectlon with tbe defeat of the Anti Prewd Beef bill culminated on Wed nesday, at Ilarrisburg, in the appoint ment of a committee to Investigate the charges. Mr. Andrews, of Crawford county, sent to the desk to be read an article from a TUtsburg paper, which was copied from the New York World, stating that rumors prevailed that Mr Andrews had taken SCO.000 to defeat the till, but had only distributed 513, OuO of it. He then moved a resolution providing Tor the appointment of a committee or seven to fully Investigate the it femepf9 made, with power to send for persons and papers, and to make re port to the House as soon as possible. The resolution was adopted without op position. The colored man, says the Catskilj X:.o.iV, is appearing at Indianapolis and demanding office of the President elect. And the colored man has a clear right, if politicat services are to deter mine the distribution of offices under the incoming administration, to make this demand and make it loud and strocg. The Democratic party has more thar a milllm majority of the white vote of the country. Without the col ored man's vote not all the money of the fat fried corporations and manufac turers would have sufliced to elect liar rlsoc and Morton. Without the color ed man's vote the candUUes could not have carried New York, Ohio and Iadiana. It Harrison and Morton are not devoid of gratitude they wilt see to it that the colored man has his pick of the spoils. In spite of the fact that the Fftleth Congress expires at noon on next Mon d ly and a great ileal of necessary work remains to bo done, says the Pniladel phia Time the Intellectual pigimies who have succeeded in deluding consti tuencies with the notion that they are statesmen continue to block all legisla tion by filibustering. lesterday was a wasted day in tbe lljuse, and there Is every reason to ex pect that the few remaining days of the session will all be wasted days. A sufil cient number of the appropriation bills Lave passed to allow the ordinary ev.ee utiva business of the government to go on, but the prospect of any revenue re daction Las about faded. One party does uot want any reduction and the other party is ditided Into two factions, caih of which is determined ther shall bono reduction uclesi tbe reduction is made their war. As it etc not be made two ways It won't be mada at all. As revenue reJuctlon or uuaiuess dis aster mait come shortly tbe rnralys's that hai f illen upon the Fiftieth Con gress will make n t-x'.ra session of the Fif'y-first Cnrjr?J3 necessary. I; Is to bo hoped that the next Congress will possess !u anient statesmanship to do wb.it Its predeee33or could not reduce the revenues to the necessities of a gov ernment economically administered. If It dva net do this the one import ant Ihiu; that netds to l-e iIor.e Ccu 2re3j3h)u!J ik tJ ha aboli-ihol. Ciiaulf.s Stewart Parseix, says the New York World, comes with the laurels of victory out of one of the most unequal fights ever forced upon an un offending man. lie has stood a!on e against a strong government ; against a powerful pres; against a sycophantic and ioresworn judiciary ; against a vile and perjured police ; against epies, in formers and forgers ; against a cruel and unjust national prejudice. He has been supported by the consciousness of innocence, by tbe justice of hi cause end by oue Grand Old Man whose con fidence and sympathy have been his coat of mail in the battle. To-day Parnell and Gladstone, the patriotic Irishman and the noble-hearted Eng lishman, stand before tbe world trium phant and honored white their enemies are humiliated and disgraced. The Inquiry before the Parnell Cow mission long since satisfied every im partial mind that the charges made against Mr. Parnell, aid his friends were false and their alleged Incrimina ting letters forgeries. But the whole truth did not seem likely to be brought out, and It was feared that the judg ment of the Commission would be par tial and unfair. The confession and flight of tbe perjurer and forger raid by the Timta have put a stop to such apprehensions and exposed the vil lainy of the conspiracy against the Irish leader la all its enormity. After Pigott's admission of guilt, the Tonics can no more plead innocence than could a professional burglar eacght with the proceeds of his crime lu his posiebsion. The question now is, will not the criminal law reach those tn the Times establishment whose ready purchase of frogdd letters was in fact subornation of forgery ? Did tbey not make them selves partners in tb.9 crima. jmt as a person who buys a valuable article of a a thief at a fraction of its value be comes a receiever of stolen goods ? Of courss, after Pigott's confession and the admitted neglect of the rimes to verify the letters, due civil damages against the Times will be heavy. Bat why not put some of the avst guilty of tbeeonapiators in prison ? This great victory of Parnell and Gladstone will, we believe, secure the triumph of Home Uale. The English man is prejudiced and stubborn, but he yet boasts of his !ove of fair p'.ay. We cannot doubt that this exposure, tbe vileness of the plot, the quiet dignity of Parnell and the noble constancy of Gladstone will touch tbe English heart in its tender spot and foreejohn Ball to admit that now, while the Queen promises Home Rule to England and Scotland, It is only "fair play" to give Home Rule to Ireland. Objection's lo the ballot reform bill now before the Legislature on the ground of expanse aavs the Philadel phia llcrali sound very odly indeed. The measure was Introduced by Mr. Jesse M. Baker of Delaware county on January 21 lust, and has for Its purpose the adoption of a form of the "Austra lian system'' of voting. This system can be best described and most highly commended by the very brief state ment that by It fraud and Intimidation at elections are rendered a'most impos sible. The system has been in f orca in the Australian colonies of England for nearly thirty years, aud has been since adopted in great Britain, Canada, Luxemuonrg and some of the States of this country, aud is everywhere received with great satisfaction. Tiie diatinguishing feature of the Anstralian system is that by it ballots are printed by public authority and at public expense and are absolutely uni form. They contain ail tbe names of the candidates to be voted for the given office, the voter m irking on the ballot a cross or other symbol opposite the name of tbe man of his choice. In the elec tion places are booths or stalls just large enough each for one man at a time and so arranged that no one bat the voter himself can see the marking which he puts on his ballot. By this means, as will readily be seen, absolute secrecy is obtained, which is the thing to be de tired. Bribery is not rendered iujposM ble by it or even referred to ; but it is made almost useless by the fact that there Is nothing to prevent the taker of the bribe from voting just as he s-es fit after having accepted money to do otherwise. For the same reason intim idation, to?, is almost impossible, and in these two respects the system is worth a dozsn statutes declaring penalties and punishments against electoral corrup tion. In this view, therefore, it will b9 seen that the oljection on account of cost is not worthy of an instant'a con sideration. Xo American is a full and free citiaen until be can have the privi lege of casting one ballot which shall not be invalidated or nullified by the vote of his neighbor who is for sate to the higher bidder. The Australian method is the only oue devised which comes as near as it does to bringing about this result. Let It come. Fiee domand citizenship are worth all they cost. Ik discussing the Panama Can a' ques tion the London TtkdruQh expresses a doubt whether, even when completed, the great ditch would pay expenses. Ooe of the arguments advanced ia that 'the trade of the Tacifio coast of Suth America la Lot a rapidly growing one, and Is largely ma le up of comas !i ties which will cot bear hi?h rates of freight, and we may safaty infer that the future of tbe Panama Canal Is the revtrsa of brilliant. To all appearances, indeed, it will requirw an exceptional concur rence of fortunate incidents to prevent it from taking rank with the class of enterprise which, daring in conception and fruitful ultimately la goJ results, only bring loss to the originators and reserve the reward for their posterity." NorwiTiiferANDiNG there has teen do reduction in the tariff, and not even any tariff tinke rini to blame It on, the employes of the Heading Iron Woifcs went to work on last Monday morning at the reduction In wages, wh;cn amounts to 7 prr cer.t. in tbe eheet and rollicg mills and 10 fer cent, in the tube departments. Tbe ixa-n decided that it vrcu'd ta iu:pruieiit io teks stir J to rtsiat the rcductKu at ILL3 I tiiic. Ihe Inauguration or Harrison. All the arrangements for"the inau guration of President-elect Harrison have been completed, and the forth coming pageant promises to be the most Imposing spectacle of tbe sort ever wit nessed in the capital of the United States. Tbe inauguration of Harrison, with which will begin the second centu ry of free government under the pre sent Constitution, will be the twenty sixth air.cn George Washington was inaugurated in the city of New York on the 3'J.h of April, ITSt). It is estimated that not left? than half a million strangers will throng the streets of Washington during tbe corn ice pageant. In transporting this enormous multitude the lines of railway entering the capital will be taxed to their utmost capacity. Next to the In auguration ceremonies, the great fea ture of the dry will be the military and civic procession, which, it is expected, will be not less than eight miles long. Ahout 8000 troops of the Pennsylvania National Guard will be In line. The public festivities will close with the customary inauguration ball with a grand display of fireworks. While Washington will entertain half a million spectators on inauguration day. the trillions of American citizens will be no less interested observers o' the Imposing scene. On the Fourth or March tbe candidate of a party will have become the Chief Magistrate of tbe Nation, and as such will be entitled to tbe cordial support of tbe whole peo ple. There Is no reason to donbt that tbe Democratic party will accord to Harrison's administration the same magnanimous treatment which Presis dent Arthur's administration received at their hand3. Democrats are always magnaoimous toward their worst ene mies. A malignant partisan opposition such as President Cleveland's adminis tration has encountered down to its last hours will not be made by the Demo cratic party against President Harrison, strong as n?ay he the temptation to re taliate. But the Democrats of the country recognize the fact that the masses of the Republican party have not been in sympathy with the factious spirit which has assailed the present in cumbent of tbe Presidential office. The Administration for whose induc tion into power such elaborate and mag nificent preparations are being made will not recline on a bed of roses. To the cynical observer there are already signs of approaching discord and dis solution. Whileexercislnga just and im partial criticismof the nffleial acts of the Government, as is therightand duty of a patriotic and intelligent opposition it may bocome necesary for the Democracy to give the incoming administration a generous sopport against th enemies within its own party line. There is nothing so fatal to political develop ment and progress as a blind and indis criminate party opposition. Under the incoming administration, an under the present, it should and will be the aim of the Democratic party to appeal to ju lgment and intelligence in behalf of a policy which, if established, would surely promote the best Interests of tbe country. In this spirit tbe great Dem ocratic party will hail the coming inaug uration, and will not hesitate to give President Harrison a generous support In every just and proper measure of ad- i ministration. Philx. Jlerord. i Powder Explosion In a Factory at M ilketbarre. Wilkesbarre, Pa.. February 2-". A terrible disaster occurred at Ply month, a few miUs from here, this af ternoon, by which the souls of ten cirls and one man wre hurried into eternity. Back of the Giylord shaft stocd the factory of John Powell, where were manufactured equibs, nsed by the min ers in loosening coal. The factory em ployed eighty four girls, their ag?s ranging from twelve to twenty years, and several male workmen. While the majority of the girls were at ttieir tomes eating dinner the peop'e were startled I y the deafening tbunders of a teriCio explosion. They rushed terror stricken to their doors and windows and in the distance saw clouds of smoke ascending from the squib ractory. Soon a large crowd had gathered around it and women began wringing their bands and men turned away from the sight presented when the charred body of a yonng girl was seen In one of the rooms and the fact became known that at least 20 persons were in the building at the time of the explosion eating their noonday lunch. The scene was franght with terror as the girls, some cf them bleeding, others gapping for a few breaths of fresh sir. rushed to the windows and screamed frantically for help. About this time a dozen miners from the adjoining co.Ui ery came upon the scene and as soon as they saw the bleeding forms of the girls calling for aid. rushed towards the bui'ding In a body, but fate prevented their proffered euccrr. As soon as they stepped near the door another terrible explosion took place and the entire building collapsed, burying in tbe ruitss tbe forms that a moment before stood crying for assistance. The braver of the men. when the smoke and flying de bris had settled, rnshed among the ruins and one by one the bodies were found and taken out, charred beyond recognition, bleeding and mangled. As mothers saw and recognlzd some familiar token or piece of dress by which they could tell tneir loved ones, the scene was one thar represented the extreme throes of sorrow and destruc tion. The bodies as fast as they were taken out. were removed to an undertaking establishment, where they were placed in a row. There features were so badly mutilated that they were scarcely re cognizable. Eleven girls and one man were killed and John Powell, the pro prietor, was badly injured. Basinass m the town of Plymouth is at a stand still and a death pall bangs over the community. Saveral kees of powder caosed the explosion, but how they were exploded is as yet a mystery. The Farmers' Cry Tor Help. It havicg teen demonstrated that tho foreign market for our wheat, corn and provisions is steaaily slipping away from us. and that the farmers in all parts of tbe country are struggling with debt and discouragement, the Protectionist writers and orators are faic lo acknow ledge the fact. When called upon to dvi.ea remedy they are at no loss. They tell the farmers they must stop raising wheat and corn, and "diversity their industry." This is equivalent to a recnmendatlon that htreatter they shall plaat carrots and cabbages. The farmers of Pennsylvania have tried "diversifying their industries" to suit the mills and mines. They have planted carro'.s atd cabbages, and in the meantime the value of their lands has steadily decreased. There is over pro cucfion in the mihs as well as In the fit-Ids, and there Is no strength ia the home market to pull other manufactur ing or fanning business out of the Pro tection hog. This country Is cow minaged In the Interacts of Trust and Rings, with the aid and assistance or the jolly grangers. When they thai! have trot enough of it they will probably vota ror a change.

Tne rimnderer Belongs ta History. No great public journal of anv coun try ever appeared in 8 disreputable an attitude before the world as that of the London Times the "Tnund-rer" of England is war and p;ce ia the Par nell trial. The Times has receieved t ha homage of generations as the exemplar of public journalism, aud its voice Las at times been more potential than tbe edicts of thrones. It has been the un disputed oracle of English power and authority for more than half a century and four generations of the Walters have enjoyed its immense profi's ; but now. with its integrity blasted, its pow er broken and its prestige shattered, its profits vauish.as is evidenced by the an nouncement that Its dividends to share holders have cens-d Public journals, even with tbe exer cise of every care, are often Imposed upon; but tbey maintain public confi dence by prompt confession of th? error and atonement to tbe wrong parties ; but in tbe case of tbe London Times there was not even a p'ausible ground for tbe grave accusations made against Parnell. Ther was cot only no reason to accept tbe forged letters as genuine, but every fact and circumstance sur rounding the proffer of tbem stamped the whole transaction as awkwardly incredible and stupidly criminal. It is impossible to assume that the Times believed the forged letters to be genuine. To assume that it did, is to assume that its management is confided to tbe most bungling of idiots ; and there is no escape from the judgment that the Times willingly joined in a monstrous conspiracy, conceived in cime and maintained by perjury, to overthrow the Home Rule leader and his cause when he could not be vanquished before tbe people of England. It is idle to speculate about the fu ture of the London Times. It has de stroyed itself aud from tbe tomb of infamy into which it has plunged itself there can be no resurrection. The "Thnnderer" of England now belongs to history. It has lost honor, powtr, prestige and profit, and it will perish unlamented at home or abroad. Its place as a newspaper has long been better filled by more widely read and more successful journals ; and it can now go down, with all Its lustrous achievements of its better days, wiibout any taking pause to note or regret its fall ; and tbe great leader and the great cause which it attempjrd to overthrow by desperation In crime, will emerge from the contest with victory hastened bv the madness of their foes. 1'hila. Times. Repeal of the Tobacco Tax. There is no justification for an advo cacy of the repeal of the tobacco tax except the bard expediency that grows out of the position of the Republican Senate, which refuses to do anything better and threatens the country in the future with a measure of tax revision that won'd be worse. Even the tohacco growers, who ex pect to be benefited by the proposed re peal, are doomed to disappointment. Tbe moment the internal tax shall be repealed the customs taxes, like taxes cr. sugar, will je the first ol jec'.s of protective result. Tobacco being in the nature of a luxury, and its culture belt-g mainly a Southern industry, when tariff taxes upon foreign tobacco snail be no longer necessary to counterbalance Internal taxation the reasons for main taining such taxts will no longer be obvious to the great protected interests which control the action of tbe Repub lican party. If there was no surplus in the Treas nry the repeal of tbe tobacco tax would have no justification whatever. In searching the Hat of objects of taxation from one end to the other nothing can be found from which revenue may be more easily, cheaply and propeny ob tained, But unnecessary taxation is u'jost taxation. If the Republican choice fall upon the reduction of the tobacco tax instead of the tax on lum ber, wool. ealt, fish, rice, hemp, jute. and otner things necessary to the com fort of the people it muss be accepted The Republican S?nate is the master o tbe situation and is responsible for tbe consequences. Mr. Randall, In insisting upon the re peal or ine iodscco tax and opposing preferable means or reduction, speaks for the Republican party and defies tis own. But the danger of a glutted Treasury ana ine aanger or worse future legisla tiou in default of immediate tax rduc tion justify the Democrats in letting Mr. Randall and the Republicans have their own way. rhxla. liccord. The Dressed Beef Scandal. There is talk of an investigation of tne manner ty wblch the "dressed beef" bill was defeated in the House. It is likely, though, that it will end in raiK. ine political majority In the House cannot afford to investigate that matter if certain stories that connect it with the management of the late presi dential eanvass ue true.

Let Mr. Armour and the other Chicago dressed beef men tell under oath how moch blackmail tbty paid to secure a promise from po litical leaders to defeat the bill, and let Mr. Rhone, Mr. Piolletand other Gran ger leaders be sworn as to whether or not they were promised tbe passage of the bill as a consideration for the votes of their order for a certain candidate for President. There may be no truth in the tales that are afloat anent tar gains with Armour on tbe one band and the granger leaders on the other. But such rumors are afloat all the same and the parties affected by tbem ought to have an opportunity to contradict tbem.
