I r looks rery much as if the Prohibi

I'ennsv i.vania is the eight State to
down Prohibitum at the polls. This is
evidently a bud year for Prohibition.
Tiikke are three thousand six hun
dred men at work on the railroad be
tween South Fork and Johnstown.
The railroad company has dor eanirr
meY.se amount of work already, but it
will take months to get it line in good
com'iion.
The Johnstown Trifunrt made ita
first appearance here on Monday last,
since the fl.ioil. The enterprise of its
publisher will ercouraze other busines
men to follow In his footsteps and in
the busy hum of industry, to push for
ward and retrieve tun fortunes lost on
that disastrous day.
Tnr suffrage amendment proposing
to abolish the poll tax qualification of
voters is Ivtlieyfd to be defeated.
Owing to the interest in the prohibito
ry amendment, the vote on the suffrage
amendment was lost sight of nd the
returns are incomplete, but it is gener
ally believed to have been defeated.
Two hundred and one votes agrainst
and 10 for abolishme the hereditary
principal of the I'.ritisli IIouso of Lords!
exclaims the New York .-. A
change of twenty-one votes in the
Home of Commons would have meant
a majority. Fortunately for the
Ilouseof I.nd-i, it is still, as it was
written in "Iolanthe," doing nothing
m particular, and doing it very well.
Ir seems 'hat P.rothet Plain was con
gratulated prematurely upon the S i
moan treaty. He was not quite satis
fied with the protocol and required
some amendments. Put this need cause
no alarm. The protocol followed Mr.
Ilayard's demands so closely that Mr.
P.'aine otitl not have been able to call
the achievement his if he had not been
allowed to put something in himself.
Tnr Democratic N'ational Committee
held a special meeting in Xew York on
Tuesday last. I'roivr action was had
as to the death of the late Chairman
'William II. P.arnum, of Connecticut;
two new members to fill vacancies from
South Carolina and Connecticut were
admitted, and Colonel Calvin S. JJrice,
of Ohio, was elected chairman of the
Natioual Committee in place of Mr.
Parnum.
Wrto shall siy that Covernor Hea

went to Johnstown a full week after
the world had stood aghast at the hor
ror and "wept like n child" while
others worked. And cow two weeks
after the horror lie issues a proclama
tion. Alorg in Ju'y he may have
fomethtng to sny about the necessity
of burying the dead.
Tnr Superintendonent of the Census
has issued a circular Irtter to the medi
cal and surgical practitioners through
out the country asking their co-operation
in the rrepnation of the mortality
and vital statistics for the next nation
al enumeration. P.ooks of registry can
be obtained upon application to the
Census Office at Washington. This is
a work which every physician will be
glad to help on.
Tiif Philadelphia I.etjrr, a staunch
Republican paper gives President Har
rison the following friendly warning :
Mr. President, either your Attorney
General has made a mistake or you
have been led Into error If the pub
lished correspondence between the de
partment of justice and Justice Sand
ford, of Utah, be true. The judge
comes out of that correspondence with
by far tho better credit, so that if there
Is arything behind of a nature to help
the executive it had better be brought
rrcmptly to the front.
Tiik Johnstown Tribune of Wednes
day says : We oren hear it aaid that
the worst wreck of all is on the South
-Side. To the eye, yes ; for there many
houses from the North side went. But
the real ruin is where there are neither
housee nor people, as in Wood vale, the
"Second Ward of Conemaugh llorough,
and, with the exception of a house or
two, the Second and Third Wards or
Johnstown, and a good part of Cambria.
There is ruin iu the lower portious of
the South Side, but not complete and
'atretic desolation ad in (he other dis
tricts named. XothiDg existent will
compare with nihility, and it U only
in the memories of the living that any
thing is left or large portions of the
town.
From the report of Secretary of the
Treaaurj Windom it appears that dur
ing the month of May, ISS'.I, the farm

and the rest of the world over three

nearly three million bushels of wheat,
more than three million bushels of
corn, and other breadatuffs, such ai
barley, cornmeal, oats, rye, etc., the
whole amount exported being valued at

Fuf'iiir.iTiov -f-.
Pennsylvania, says the lVi. -. i
by a majority varying from l-IO.OOO
to IT-Ut-O. " The JVf, wh?n the
amen latent was passed as a
political trick ty the Legislature of
ISS7. predicted that the majority
against it would be in the neighborhood
of Iikmhmi. It was far below the maik.
It is also a (act that almost the sum to
tal of the majority against the amecd
meut corals frcm the Kepublican strong
holds of Philadelphia, and Lancaster
and Allegheny counties, which are the
pulses, as it wire, of the bosses who
dominate the Republican party of the
State ; the tricksters who carried the
amendment through the Legislature as
a bit of political cheatery practiced on
the Piohibitiooiste, and then decreed its
defeat iu accord with anothtr bargain
made vith the liquor interest.
Put this aside, and it is a fact which
will have considerable influence on the
future politics of the state, the people
of Pennsylvania are to be congratulated
on the result. It is not a triumph of
the liquor interest or of the saloon pow
er, but of the common sense of the peo
ple, marking and emphasizing their
opposition to impracticable theories, to
arbitrary interferences with the person
al rights of the people, and to the con
fiscation of property rights guaranteed
by the Constitution aa.l law. Further
than this, it is a declaration for the
judicious regulation of the liquor traf
fic, and that it shall bear its proper, and
even an exceptional, share of the public
burthens. It does not mean free and
untaxed whisky. Prohibition in this
State did. In tripf. the result con
demns Prohibition as a moral, political
or social issue, and maintains the right
and expediency of moderate license tax
ation and judicious regulation.
The overwhelming vote against the
amendment repusents the best judg
ment of the industrial, the business
and the profesfional class of the popu
lation or Pennsylvania. It was an in
telligent vote. The counties where
majorities against the amendments are
strongest are the counties most noted
for their progress, their enterprise and
business activity, ns well as their lead
in the kindly and benevolent move
ments of the day. Whatever of intimi
dation appeared in the canvass was at
tempted by the Prohibitionists in arro
gating to themselves a superior virtue
and better judgment, not warranted by
the facts. Pennsylvania by the result
vindicates her conservatism, her sense
of individnal rights and Iiber.'y, and ter
regard for the rights of property. It
will have a wide-reaching effect in res
forming the illiberal laws of the States
that have drifted far away from the
principles o? American liberty and the
inherent and Inalienable rights of citi
zenship. They have been held up to ns
as models. The model has been reject
ed, and Pennsylvania leads the way in
the reassertion and vindication of the
great American principle of self
government in i'i personal as well as
its political sense.
The election In this State ou Tues
day puts Pennsylvania against Prohibi
tion by a majority that will not be far
from :Kj,fiO. p,y their vote the people
of Pennsylvania, have decided to rely
on their own virtue Instead of Deing
controlled by a statutory provision in
the Constitution. Cambria county,
gives a majority of 1.4.12 against the
prohibitory amendment and had It net
been for the calamity that befel ntr
people in Johnstown, the majority
would have reached 2,lK). The inhabi
tants of Cambria county are a temperate
people, temperate in their opioions and
habits and want no legislation forced
on them by the intemperate and mis
guided 7alots, who would have the
morals of the people controlled by
sumptuary laws.

) A stti rs-oii to Ajutant General ir;
1 C. I)rum, recently retired, bas been
appointed in the person of Col. J. f.
i-uon. me utter bad been Gen.
Drum's asfciant for several years paat.
Than
Civil Service Reform is uttering some I
very distinct notes in the far West, j
The summary removal of William C.
Jones. I'nited States Marshal in Kan-
sas. haa nrovokud indignant eommsnt
even from a portion of the ItepubUcan j
journals of that S-jite. They say that
bad President Harrison removed Jones t
her.uoo ti a liAmncnt xn Ucmw
his place was wanted foe a Republican,
there would have been no sc rious com
plaint. Put he was dismissed upon
charges of infidelity in office, without
giving him the slighest opportunity to
defend bis reputation from assault. As
ex Mrsrnl Jones is a prominent veter
an in Kansas his oi l comrades protest,
not against his removal, t ut against the
indecent manner in which it was inad.
This is but one of the case- which
show the meanness to which the Spoils
Sys'.em, in its newts phase, is compell
ed to resort. The Supreme judge of
New Mexico was asked to resign on the
oretense that Lis method of dispensing
justice was not fcuch as it should be.
When he mule inquiry as to the nature
of the charges ag-unet him he was told
by the Attorney General that his judi
cial course was not in harmony with
the "policy" of the Administration.
Mrs. Clay, the Postmistress of Huntt
ville, Ala., was requested to resign on
the groundthat she had neglected her du
ties, and wren she asked for the charges
she received notice of the appointment
of her successor. Railway Mail Super
intendent Pell discnarged about 1.50
postal clerks in a few weeks, and he
meanly undertook to put a reproach
upon nearly all of them by notifying a
few only that they were removed palely
for party reasons.
Formerly the dispensers of Govern
ment spoils aud patriotism did not deem
it necessaiy to resort to any subterfuge
or artifice In removing their political
opponents from office. When they re
moved capable and trustworthy officials
they put the act on party grounds, and
bade their political opponents make the
most of it. They did not deign to
trump up charges against an oflicial in
order to make a pietext for removing
him. They were too manly for that.
Put now, under the latest ministers of
the Spoils System, partisan meanness is
superadded to Its trucu'ency. The of
fice is taken away, and with it the repu
tation of the incumbent. It is not
enough to deprive him of his present
living, but by throwing suspicion upon
him he must b prevented from earning a
livelihood in the foture. Thus the Gov
ernment cf a grHt and magnanimous
nation is made a conduit of official slan
der and calumny.
The Spoils System as hitherto admin
istered is infinitely preferable to this
mixture of hypocrisy and cant of zeal
for the public service. If public of
ficials cannot be permitted to meet the
charges assigned for tbeir removal let
us get back to the old Spoils System,
with all its frank brutality, as soon as
possible. The ax of the public
executioner in taking ths official lire of
the citizen would not at the same time
take away his good name. rtiln
Tanner and the Administration.
The Washington air is full of rnmnrs
with re.pect to Comissioner Tanner, all
suggesting that for some unexplained
reason the President is likely to remove
him or ought to be likely to do so.
Now why ? What has Tanner do&fc
or left undone that bis place should be
deemed insecure ? He has made reck
less rulings with repect to pensions
which threaten to sweep awav the whole
surplus revenue in one grand distribu
tion of money : but is in exact accord
with the policy of his party as laid
down in the Chicago platform, and Tan
ner is surely not responsible for the par
ty pMicy.
He has appointed his own daughter
to a place in the public service, but for
that he has the highest authority of ex
ample. Has not Mr. Harrison appoint
ed to office most of his own reUtives
and cronies, and the relatives of his
wife and his son's wife and Lis daugh
ter's husband ? Further than that, Mr.
Ilarrisun has recagnized the hereditary
principle by apjKiintlng Fred Grant to a
foreign mission and Uobert Lincoln to a
foreign mission and young Blaine to a
pltce in the State Department, all
simply because of their relationship to
their several fathers. Tanner bas sim
p'y adopted the manners and habits of
th Administration which created him.
Finally, under Tanner's control the
Pension Office rules have been pervert
ed in order to make what the vulgar
call "a good thing" for the pension at
torney who most activety worked to get
Tanner appointed. F.ut here again pre
cedent and high examp'e are on his side.
Has not Mr. Harrison rewarded Wana
maker and Wbitelaw Ileii and Erhardt
and all the rest of the men who helped
biro to get his place Y What other bus
iness, indeed, has engaged his attention
during the last three months V
All this talk about Tanner's removal
is Democratic fol-de rol. The man is
an ideal officer aa ideals go under the
existing regime. X. Y. World.
The proverbial generosity of the far
away people of the Pacific coast received
another illustration when the news of
the Johnstown calamity reached them.
Public meetings were held and money
was liberally subscribed. While col
lections were in progress at Seattle.
Washington Ttrritory, and several
thousand dollars had been cheerfully
subscribed as a nucleus for the Terri
tory's offering, the fire king came along
and swept S1.".0 (0,000 of business prop
erty away. The news was telegraphed
all over the coast, and for a moment
people were dazed at the second calami
ty. But ouly for a moment. The next,
the people were subscribing money, not
only for Seattle, but also for Johnstown.
The collections were made jointly, and
some who had subicribed before ma3e
second offerings. A remarkable scene
occarred at Settle Itself after the fire,
when the citizens met to do something
abooc rebuilding. It was announced
that in one of the bank safes, still red
hot in the debris, were the collections
for the Jobr.stown sufferers. In view
of the fact that "charily begins at
homo," it was hinted that the fund had
better be diverted to the home sufferers.
The propisition was indignantly voted
down and the citizens proceeded to sub
scribe liberally for its own sufferers be
sides increasing the Johnstown fund.
The citizens or Tacoma. Seattle's rival
for supremacy, came Dobly to the res
cue with a fend of f2."..ufio cash and
supplies sufficient to feed 2,000 people
for thiity days, with as much more io
reserve if necessary. Truly, the Amer
can people are a great institution, on
which do flies rest even momentarily.

BIoM Tacties Meaner
the Oi l.
ierre Political Societies in Ceneral end
the I'lan-Ha-'iafl in Particular.
The Know-Nothing party was th
only formidable political society fiat
! ...... r r a a ..-, PaII In f K i f a ...! rt T --
-.!- lusr ouu ;.. iu vuio vvsuuwj.
That secret, oath-bound organzitioc
owed its oner career or prosperuy ana
Ptial successes to the fact that it
w8 uIe to aiM uFn a presexisticg
passion, io a time or political reaction,
when the great parties were io a etate
of torpor. Put had the aims of the
Know Nothing party been patriotic and
praiseworthy, its secrecy, its mummer
ies, its oaths, and its eutjection of the
will of the individual citizen to the de
crees of a hidden junto, operating in
the dark, would have teen its sufficient
condemnation. As long as this ttecret
party lasted it had great attractions for
men who were ab'e to acquire a pre
eminence in its councils which neither
t jeir talents nor their worth could gain
for th-m 4-lswhere. and who used the
f jotii g acquirtd there Toadvmce them
slves in other firlds where honors and
emoluments of office were to oe bar
vested, lint assoon as daylight flashed
upon the Know-Nothing organization,
exosing its character and mischievous
tendencies, it disappeared like the
mists before the morning son.
Singularly enough, men who are
ready to condemn Know Nocbingiam,
with its bidden mummeries and oatbes,
have not hesitated to attach themselves
to other oath-bound political organiza
tions of a much darker and more repul
sive characted Kecent revelations in
regard to the so-called Clan na Gael
Society show it to have been a nest of
intrigue and conspiracy. In which des
perate adventurers operated upon the
weak and credulous in order to accom
plish the most Infamous ends.
Funds contributed by the poor and
needy for the cause of Ireland have
been squandered by thousands on the
Chicago Stock Exchange in gambling
in Wabash and other "wildcats."
Some of this money has been used in
hiring murderous deeperadoes to sling
dynamite in crowded railway stations
abroad, and in employing assassians co
"remove" dangerous enemies at home.
It is natural that such an organization
should be bonevcombed with treachery,
and that the Le Carons should keep
the British Government fully apprised
of all its secret movem nts. So com
plete has been the intelligence that
agents s?nt to England to perform the
'work" of the society have been ar
rested, with the proofs upon them, al
most assoon as they landed. In the
politics of this country the organiza
tion bas been used for all it wou'd
bring its leaders in money and spoils.
A political organszation so consti
tuted is not only a curse to the cause of
Ireland but a reproach to the nation
that gives it hospitality. There is no
doubt that many good men have been
lured into the society without having
any definite idea of its aims and charac
ter. Now that its true epirit and ten
dencies have been revealed their duty
is plain.
But, even if the aims of this organi
zation bad bees as pure and patriotic as
they have been desperate and criminal,
there can be no excuse in this countrv
for the existence of any secret political
organization. With the best aims, snch
organizations inevitably degenerate into
tentres of intrigue and conspiracy. In
a free government like onrs the only
omnipotent conspirator is public opin
ion ; and its sessions are always open.

Johnstown's Health is lioed.
Joiikstowx, l'a . June 10. Govern
or Heaver and the Flood Commission
arrived here quite unexpectedly short
ly before noon, accompanied by Gener
al Hastings, and made a tour or the de
vastated district ou horseback, dining
afterward at headquarters. The Phil
adelphia members of the Commission
express themselves as eatiMled that the
press reports of the disaster were not
exaggerated, scd that the people of
Johnstown are entitled to substantial
relier Trom the State.
Dr. Renjamin Lee, Executive Officer
or the State Hoard of Health, issued
health bulletin No. .1 this morning, the
first bulletin since the 13th instant.
It reports a gradual improvement in
the health of the buroughs. Coopers
dale is somewhat inaccessible owing to
high water in the Couemaugh, and
there are some cases of stomach trou
bles in consequenc of poor food.
There have been no cases of contagious
disease at the general hospital, but one
fatal case of diptheria at the Ued Cross
Hospital and one other case. Among
the soldiery there is not a single hospi
tal caee. Measels are diminishing.
GatJgs are engaged in collecting the
carcasses of dead animals along the
different streams and burning them.
Ulsstressmj Weakness.
Tbe Johnstown disaster was splen
did opportunity for Governor Beaver to
do sometning to gloss over a very bad
record, but it served only to Bhow bis
lamentable weakness. At the time of
the calamity he was, as usual, junket
ing around the country, just as Ilart
"Hl1 was wn"n tl,e railroad riots of
1S77 occurred. While the governor or
Ohio was rushing a train load or pro
visions and clothing and tente to Johns
town our own governor was doing noth
ing. Xo one seemed to know anything
about him. It was not until his ap
peal was published in Tuesday's papers
that the public were made aware or his
return to Harnsburg. Why did he not
hurry to Johnstown as fast as steam
and horses coa'.d carry him, put Ove
thousand men to work and personally
superintend the recovery or bodies and
the retnoya! of the debris ? The pres
ence or the governor would have bad
much to do with the effectiveness or the
work. Bnt he kept awav rrom th
ecene or devastation and private citl
zens were obliged to fill the place that
he should have occupied. Try to im
agine Foraker, or Ohio, or Hill or Xew
ork, making such au exhibition of
weakness.
The Cronm case, says the New York
linn, as it has now been developed
has a painful interest for the admiuis
tration. The kind of Irishman who
manages the Clan-na-Gael is tbe kind
that is universally known as the Blaine
Irishman. One of this kind is the pres
ent American Minister to Chili. Egan
was tbe friend and associate of Sullivan
and the other leaders of the Clanna
t.aei, and was selected for a foreign
miesioQ as their representative and to
sat;sfy their demands. It is now es
tablished that the Oan-na Gael was an
association of men who practiced swind
ling under pretense of committing
murder, and that this pretence was aot
holly false, as even if they have not
murdered many or any Englishmen, it
is clear that they have murdered an
Irishmen whose survival threatened the
success of their swindling operations.
Lean's Domination was accepted as "a
Blaine appointment." and the Scretnr
of State must be especially anxious to
rid himaelf of tb:a odium aitacbioe to
euen aa appointment without eeeine his
way clear to doeo.
