It is estimated that the value of the

500,000, la now worth, at least, over

It Is proposed by the I'rnseian Gov

to include offenses agnnst German law
committed abroad. The scope ;of the
proposed amendments intended. to em

It Is almost Inevitable says the
Tittsburg Jii.itch (Hep.) that the
couiseof eventsjutj Harriaburg should
cause comparison to be made between
the vigorous and clean administration
of Governor Piittisou acd the rrevailiDg
policy. Comparisons are odious to those
who suffer by them ; but they are
made Just the same.
There is a job before the Pennsylva
nia Legislature says the Cleveland Lea
der to have the State purchase the old
Tenn farm for 27,'AH3. It contains
nothing in the shapa of a souvenir of
Willlan Pern except the stump of an
old cherry tree which it Is believed he
planted, and its owner asks about twice
as much for the land as is charged for
adjoining property.
TnE New York C -rr-ial Adver
tiser states that at R u. i' on-the Hud
son a man died, lenvu.g a property
Talued at 5-JOoO. Thia was partly
mortgaged. The mortgage and costs
Involved amounted to f trnis leav
ing but SI to be divided among the
widow and fourteen heirs. Thejwidow
will, however, have only the use of this
dollor during her lifetime, and must
leave it to her heirs at her death.
There were twenty-two defendants in
this Interesting case.
Secretary Nohle has given orders
by telegraph for a rigid investigation of
the charges, made in the dispatches
from Oklahoma, that the Government
officials took advantage of their official
positions to secure desirable town lots
and homesteads before tho bona fids set

tory and he says that if he can help it
no person shall hold a foot of eround in
that Territory or claim that is not open '

Tt la estsmated by an official of the

showing for the coiu collectors.
TnE rural towns and all the country
district of Massachusetts came out to
vote against Prohibition aa they never
came cut to vote before. Says the P.os
ton GliJt: "In one town more than
twice as many voters turned out as In
November, and in other towns the rate
of increase was nearly as great. It all
goes to show that there are Iq the vil
lages shoals of stay-at-homes who do
not care a gone toseed cucumber

The Snrrme Court on Monday af
flrmed the rulings of the couit or Oyer
and Terminer of Er.zerne connfy, ia the
trial of Michael RizzoU for the murdir
of Paymaster McClure and his assistant
Flanagan, and denied the motion for a
new trial. There Is no doubt of the
guilt of ,,Rdnosd Mike" and the mo

grounds entirely. I" cision the
court boHa that a y.-. ; u competent

TriEgieat Republic, the completion
or whose tirstcenfury of existence Is cel
ebrated to-day (Tuesday) sajs the New
York IVurul, is like "a city set on a
hill, that cannot be bid." It stands a
shining example to the other nations of
the world of the strength, the endur
ance, the adaptability and the benefi
cence of popular government.
Democracy is no longer an experi
ment. Few are the dynasties of the
monarchical systems that have endnred
for one hundred years with so little
change, except in the way of develop
merit, as haa been experienced in the
United States since the adoption of tLe
Constltutfon. The Republic has been
beset by"all the perils that can menace
a nation. It has withstood foreign war
and survived civil strife of such mag
nitude and costliness as the world Ltd
never before seen. It has contended
successfully against the centrifugal
force of independent States joined in a
unioa for common defense, and the
centripetal force of dangerous centra
lization. It has submitted to excision
by the sword of the cancer of hurean
slavery. It has resisted the old
temptation of demoralizing wars for
territorial aggrandizement and entang
ling alliances with foreign nations.
Even the assassination of two Presi"
dents a most horrible crime in a Res
public did not shake fur a moment the
pillars of popular government.
In this splendid demonstration of the
strength and elasticity of Republican
institutions the struggling peoples of
the OKI World, feeling their way slowly
towards the assertion or tLe full enjoy-,
ment of their natural rights, may End
great er.courigemect. A century of
self-government in America ia the jus
tification cf their demand and tneir
hope
To the cit'z.ns of the Republic a con
templation of the deeds and the doc
trines of the Fathers should serve as a
warning against the growth of the
riutocratic usurpations and the cor
ruptions consequent upon vast accu
mulations of wealth which have wreck
ed the republics of history.
Tuesday's parade In New York was
the greatest military display eyer seen in
this country at any civic celebration.
It contained the largest number of
troops that has been brought together
since the great veteran review at Wash
ington at tne close of the war. More
than 50,000 troips paraJed before
2,000,000 happy and exalted people.
Washington never commanded asmsny
troops in any engagement aa marched
on Tuesday in honor of his first inau
guration. Except; for the Gne repre
sentatives of what Eerves aa our stand
ing army, the men were all members of
the militia force, either organizad as
part of the National Guard or as inde
pendent companies, and their soldier
like appearance and fine marching drew
forth deserved plaudits from the vast
concourse of people which witnessed
the display.
And yea as impressive aa the sight
was to those who are unaccustomed
to great standing armies, the troops in
this parade were but as a drop in the
ocean to the real fighting force of the
Republic. There are not more than a
half a dozn States in the Union which
could not torn out a larger number of
men fit for military duty. New York
alone has 0.",000 men available for the
public defense, and all the Union mure
than eight rcil'ions.
As the governmsnt Is ba3ed on force
as a possible ultimate rtsort.it is en
couragirg to see enough of the military
spirit kept alive in our peaceful Repub
lic to maintain these rurseries of ar
mies, the State militaiy organizations.
Our citizsn soldiery did themselves and
their Stales great credit on Tuesday.
The Pittsourg ZUc7i (Rpp) says
there was seme fitness In the resolution
of the Republican administration to re
store to the railway mail service, the
clerks who were removed by the Dem
ocratic administration simply to make
room for Democrats. That waa an at
tempt at least to rectify a violation of
the principles which both administra
tions professed and wbicb both ought to
rrspect. Rut the heroic effjrt to com
press a thousand removals and appoints
meats into Tuesday's holidiy before
the civil service rules went into effect,
could not allow time for investigating
the cases, and was an unmistakeable
case of shoveling out the spoils. A
still more remarkable step is the ap
pointment to a respoDS'.tle position, of
Yandervoort, who was removed not by
the Democratic, but by a Republican
administration, for neglect of duty to
the extent of absence from work 203
days in a single year. The piesent
administration after its pledges on the
sut ject, ought to pay as much respect
to the requirements of tfliciency in the
postal service us the administration of
President Arthur did.
There is a large Iiish immigration
now going on to the Argentine Confeds
eratioD. The I'.uenos Ayres papers,
judging from the arrivals at that port
since January last, make the estimate
nearly 100 Ouu Irishmen will be added
to the Argentine population this year.
The republic comprises a territory of
1250,000 square miles, while its people
number only 4,500.000, so that there is
an abundance of room for all the imj
migrants that can be obtained from
Ireland or elsewhere. The great ma
jority of the Irish settlers In the Ar
gentine Republic are farmers or farm
laborers, and it is for the purpose of
tilin? the soil that they go there. The
Goverr.mer t has established a liberal
land policy, under which farms can be
obtained by Immigrants upon easy
term?. Most of the land of the repub
lic Is fertile ; the climate of the greater
rart of it i3 terrrerate and healthy ; the
government ii pacific, and the political
institutions are remarkable for their
fieedom. There are good reports of
the conditions of the Irish immigrants
who are tlndicj places of abodo there.

The Centenary of the I rt Inauguration.
For upward of twelve years the peo
ple of the Uuited Stater have com mem
oiated certain days of each year as cen
tennial anniversaries of Important
events in their national history. Chief
among these bave been the centennial
anniversaries of the adoption of the
declaration of Independence and of the
formation of the Constitution, both of
which were celebrated in this the lat
ter probably the most important event
in the history of the world.
The adoption of the Constitution by
the requisite number of States did not,
however, end the labors of the Fathers
of the Republic, The new Government
bad to be put into operation, and the
process of completion was slow. Trayd
to New York, then the seat of Con-
gres3, was difficult ; and it was not un
til the 1st or April, 1789, that the
House of Representatives was able to
form a quorum and count the electoral
votf s for President and Vice President
of the United States. On the lGthof
April Washington bade adieu to Mount
Vernon anl to private life, and set out
for New X'oik. Throughout the jour
ney his reception was most enthusiastic.
New York waa safely reached, and on
the 30th of April, the quaint city crowd
ed with people, bella ringing, cannons
firing and cheers welling up from thou
sands of throats, Washington took the
nath of office, and Chancellor Living
ston proclaimed "Long life. George
Washington, President of the United
States !"
From that hour until his death the
personality of this patriot and states
man dominated the Republic. The be
lief of the people that he had been
selected by Heaven to lead and to guide
them never changed, and each succeed
ing act of Lis but deepened the impres
sion that had been formed of his wisdom,
his greatness, bis far-seeing judgment
and his absolute rectitude. Today,
therefore, the centennial commemora
tion of hi? inauguration is not only the
celebration of a victory gained over
political oppressors and of the enfran
chisement of a nation, but It la also
that of the memory of a man who guid
ed the Republic in its first steps, who
held the balances of right, and planted
principle after principle in the hearts
of the people until tUelr vision became
enlarged, nutil they were able to stand
alone, to achieve industrial independ
ence, to win moral and intellectual
triumphs, end to enter upon a career
which has been unexampled in the
history of constitutional government.

A Hint to quay
Senators Quay and Sherman lately
struck a trade by which an Ohio man
was to get an important bureau in
Washington and a l'cnns? lvanian. Mr.
Gilkeeon, was to get a like position.
Quay regarded the matter as settled,
and when be beard, a few days later,
that the place that be had bargained for
was given to Sherman's man without
any reciprocity to t uay's man, our lit
tle Napoleon kicked np his heels at both
Shermen and the President and is now
reported as inclined to sulk in hit tent.
It is obvious that both Sherman and
Quay, and Quay especially, forgot that
one Benjamin Hirrlson is President,
and they had made their trade without
consulting about the only man in and
about Washington who has a very posi
tive conviction that he is President
himself. This one man is unexpectedly
self-assertivp, and the one thing that
he seemi to ob ject to more than others,
is the appropriation of his patronage
without consulting him.
As Quay didn't make Mr. Harrison,
be should summon bis philosophy to
teach himself that Harrison must be ac
cepted as he is rather than as Quay
would have him. True, Quay made
Harrison President, but he did it with
out any bond for re-creation of the
man ; and dow, after various sieges
and repu'ses. Quay retires to Beaver
much in the plight of the man who
was kicked In the face by bia mule.
His personal beanty was considerably
modified, but he had ''ah all-fired sight
more sense."
Senator Qua ia quite too (ugacious
to quarrel with Harrison. He will
gradually come to realiza the fact that
Harrison ia President ; that Harrison
know3 he is President and that Harri
son means to be President ; and when
Quay gets down to a demand for a little
less than the earth, Harrison will bend
a shade ard thus lesson the gap between
them. Thus started on safe grounds
on both sides, Quay will get on better
and better as things jog along ; but if
he were to try the sulks with a tenden
cy to kick up because orders are not
promptly obeyed, he ould soon be in
the soup and all hi3 friends with him.
Quay should pull himself together
again, put on his blandest smile, confess
that Harrison is President and then. In
a very delectable way, go for all that's
in sight. I'hihx. Times.
Is the State Senate last week Senator
Ross declared that the Republican par
ty has deserted its bantling, the Prohi
bition amendment. Senator Cooper's
attempt at a reply to Senator Ross,
says the Harriaburg Patriot, was simp
ly a bagging of the question. When a
political party deliberately by caucus
action forces an issue befoie the people
which otherwise could not bave been
made it does it utTirmatively not nega
tively, or indifferently, as Senator
Cooper pretends. According to bis
logic the Republican party, when it
submitted the amendment to the fed-
eral constitution abolishing negro
slavery, did no; commit itself to the
amendment but simply left the matter
with the people. Yet Senator Cooper's
party wil! never cease glorifying itself
as the liberator of the negroes. If the
Republican party did not mean to
abolish the liquor traffic when it sub
mitted the prohibitory amendment it
did not mean to abolish negro slavery
when It submitted tire Thirteenth
amendment of the federal constitution.
The Republican leaders bad better be a
little more consistent and a little less
cowardly.
Wasiunotox. April 20. W. A. Cud

Assembly of Arizona, wcich has just
adjourned, has sent to the Treasury
Department, for deposit in the con
science fund, the sum of ?2J 50, being
a part of the salary paid him as chap
lain. His motive for this action is ex
plained by him aa follows: I cannot
see that it la right for the rulers to take
the people's money and pay It out to
some hypocrite to stand up before a
Legislative body and pray for pay."
He also states that be once acted as
clerk of the Legislature, and received
for bis service SO40; but while perform
ing this duty he was also employed in
whisky selling. He thicks that he
should retnrn the 50 10. and would do

Hamilton, Oat.. April 2S. A ter
rible railway accident occured ou the
Grand Trunk Railwav, about a mile
east of this city, at an early hour this
morning, resulting in serious loss of
life and great destruction of property.
The limited express from Chicago, due
here at 0 30 a. x., when running at the
rate of sixty miles an hour, jumped tba
track as the engineer was in the act of
slackening the speed on his appioach
to Hamilton Junction. The accident
occurred while rounding a curve in a
deep cutting known as Junction Cut.
just before reaching the. switch at Y.
where throuah trains from Toronto
leave the main line.
The train, which was fceavily loaded
with prssengers, was made up of au en
gine, a buggaee car, two passenger
conches and two sleepers, and as it left
the rai's the cars were bur.ed with ter
rific force agaiLSt the light flint walls of
the cutting, resulting in the smash be
ing simply iudescribable. As tbe en
gine left the track the engineer and
firemen jumped, both miraculously es
caping almost uninjured. The baggage
car was in a strange way separated
from tbe rest of - the train and thrown
on tbe opposite track. Tbe occupants
were maimed probably for life.
No sooner had tbe accident occurred
than the wreck took ilre and then en
sued a scene of horror that made the
strongest hearts quail and blanched tbe
bravest cheek. From out a heap of
blazing ruins came the frenzied shrieks
of men, women and children for aid,
while amid these could be beard tbe
heart-rendering groans of tbe wounded,
who in their maimed condition could
make no effort to escape the fast ap
proaching flan?es.
The engineer gave the alarm of tbe
accident at the Junction yards, a qoar
of a mile away, and soon brought tbe
miny hands at work to the rescue. Tbe
news, too, flashed to this city and im
mediately an ambulance train with up
wards of a dozen of Hamilton's physi
cians set out for the scene of the disas
ter. The work of rescue was of the
hardest kind, as the heat from the burn
ing cars was so intense that it was only
with the greatest d fficulty the rescu
ers could approach, and many were
badly burned in their efforts to save.
The first two removed from the wreck
were killed outright, but their corpses
were untouched by the fire. A woman
was then taken out with both her legs
broken and she was otherwise injurrd.
Then two girls, two men and a boy
were got out of the wreck of a first
class coach, all more or less severely
burned. Tbe corpse of a middle-aged
man, burned almost to a cinder, was
tak-n out, and then sixteen more in
the sam condition, and search was
made of the wreck, but no more bodies
were found, but it was not at all
through, as the Iron work of tbe cars
being red hot, could not be bandied.
So far nineteen are known to be killed
and twenty injured, four of whom are
thought fatally.
Geoiigk Gray, of Pine Mills, Pa.,
went out in one of tbe farmers' fields
one afternoon to haul away some stone
piles that had been lying in the field
since last fall. lie had thrown on the
drag a few stones from one of the piles
when a weasel jumped out of the pl'e.
Gray kicked at tbe animal as it was
passing him, and the fierce little brute
turned on the man and sprang for hia
throat. Its teeth closed on Gray's
flannel shirt at his chest. In tearing
the weasel loose it set Its teeth into
Gray's arm, tearing his flesh down for
three inches. The taste of blood seem
ed to increase tbe fury of tbe weasel,
and Gray had ail he could d l to keep it
from springing on his throat. He at
last succeeded stunning the weasel by
akick, and was about to hurry to the
house to have hia wounds dressed, when
six other weasels, one after the other,
trooped from the stone pile and made a
combined attack on Gray. They
swarmed upon him, biting and tearing
bis flesh on the legs, arms and body.
Fearing for his life. Gray turned and
fled, followed by the weasels, which
chased him clear to the house, over half
a mile away, Ii Aiding still further
wounds with their sharp teeth.
Gray's shouts for help brought a son
of his employer and another man out of
a barn, where they were threshing, and
the two ran to Gray's aid. Even these
reinforcements did not dannt the wea
Bels, and before they were routed, which
was not until three of them were
killed, they had inflicted many ugly
wounds on their foes, and the three
men were covered with blood from
bead to foot.
A Railroad's Training School.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has at Its
shops In Altoona a unique school for
training candidates for positions in the
transportation department. Graduates
of university scientific courses are eligi
ble for instruction in tbe school, such
as these who have studied in tha Towne
scientific department of the University
of Pennsylvania, in tho Troy Polytech
nic School, the Renssa'.aer Institute and
o' her schools of that description.
There are no classes, no set hours, no
regular instructors at Altoona. As
many students as can be accommodated
perhaps a dozen or so are taken into
the training school. Some are put
to work thing locomotives, some In the
machine or car shops, some In the
draugh'ing room, and others again at
maintenance-of- way work. These college-bred
learners are expected to work
in any department to which they are
assigned, side by side with the regular
employes, and are salaried like the
regulars. There is a system of graded
pa by which thoso who show applicas
lion and ability can steadily Increase
their income.
It is from the ranks of those who
have gone through this school that tbe
railroad company recruit the upper
grades of its officials. Whenever posi
tions are vacant the department beida
bave these tried students to select
from, and the consequence Is that an
efficient service is maintained. So suo
cessfol has the working of this scheme
been that In a number of cases promin
ent Eastern railroads in need of sub
officials have sought to get hold of men
Kiaduated from the training school.
President Roberts has tbe first pick of
his students, but after that other rail
roads are supplied wherever possible.

sicians of all tbe land. Disease steals Into
your bis tern like a sneak thief into your

we end oar days in lingering, and wishing
