Cardinal Giuboxs stated In a re cent address tbat in 1790 there were 4.000.000 Inhabitants In America and 40,000 Catholics. After the lapse of a century there is a population of 65,000, 000, of whom 9,000.000 are Catholics. There are 050 colleges and academies, and nearly as many large hospitals atd asylums for the care of the young, the sick and infirm.

Joseph Meeks, the refere and Mrs. Raymond or Reynolds, will be Indicted by tr-e Grand Jury.

It is stated upon good Information that President Harrison was clislj jruarded by detectives on his way from "Waahirgtoo to Deer Park, as a precau tion against any postlMe assault on the pm or those dissatisfied with his action j in dismissing Tanner. The cranks all j over the country belong to the Repub lican party and the fate of Garfield makes It necessary for the friends of j i resident Harrison, to use the utmost caution. China is waking up, as Japan long ago did. to the importance of railroad communication. Tbe emperor of China recently signed a decree directing tbe building of a railroad 700 miles long, to extend southward from Ptkin to one of the treaty ports on the Yang-tse, about five buudttd miles from the mouth of that river, whose foreign trade last year amounted to about 555,000,000. It will lie wholly in the interior of the country. China has now only 80 miles of railway, while Japan in July cele brated the completion of 1,000 miles of railway in that empire. The Japanese are the Yankees of the Orient. The annual report of Hon. E. S. IHtchell, Commissioner of Patents just iasued furnishes food for study. It sXows the total number of applications for patents for the year ending June 30, to have been 30,710 and the total num ber granted during the same feriod to have been 21.51S. Io view of this state ment one is apt to lose faith in tbe old maximum "There is nothing new under the sun." The patent office is a money making institution for Uncle Sam. The present report shows the profits for last year to have been f 1SC.8G6. This added to previous profits makes a grand total of 53.524.52G which theGov ernmect is ahead through the fees paid by its Inventors. This is the season says the J'UUslurg Tines, for going to tbe Mountains any time the next six weeks. There is not in this or any other country any thing tbat is comparable to what one can behold of nature in its Fall garb in tbe Alleghenies. Fven now the forest trees are charging their colors little by little, and the change repays one who studies it. Soon the change will deep en, and it will not be long before the slopes will be dressed in colors that no artist can reproduce. A side over the mountains then wilt repay anyone who has an eye for nature's glories ; not a day, not a week, nor even a month will suffice for unrqualed study. Our people travel abroad for studies of nature, but nowhere abroad will they see glories tbat surpass those of the Alleghenies. How many are there who have lived all their dajs within a few Lours' ride of tbe Alleghenies, and yet are either ignorant of their scenery, especially wnen tbe frosty nights begin to succeed one another, or have no eye for nature's beauties. II must . be wanting in a great dual that makes tlm a coir pan- innahU nrt nf ruirann whs at time fl " i cient in appteciatlon of tbe a lories of j natnre. Go to the mountains when they btgln to blaxe iu their Fall colors. 1 Dvuixa the late session of the L?gie lature, aaja the llarrisburg PafrvX, Hon. S. M. Wherry, representative from Cumberland county, made the charge that the Commissioner of the sinking Fund bad sold over a million dollars' worth of United States bonds belonging to the State which I ought 00,000 in terest to the State Treasury every year and that the proceeds of this sale of the United S'.atea bonds were depoelted in certain banks without interest. This charge was couched in the plainest and most specific language, and Mr. Wherry moved tbat the House appoint a special committee to inquire into the manage ment of the Sinking Fund and the Treasury under which this achieve ment in financiering was accomplished. But the Republican House, with Speak er Boyer, (now the Republican candi date for State Treasurer) at its he.d, deliberately refused to make the ioqui- The only explanation of this remark able financial transaction which has been vouchsafed by the Commissioners Of the Sinking Fond is that the United States bonds were sold with a view of employing the proceeds of the sale in the purchase of State bonds, but tbat when the Commissioners appeared in the market for the purpose of buying State bonds the holders of the latter In sisted upon a premium which the Com missioners regarded as exorbitant. This is simply a confession of incapaci ty, not to ssy stupidity, on the part of the Commissioners of the Sinking Food. They knew that no State bonds w-re overdue at the time they sold the Uni ted States bonds. They knew tbat as they could not compel the presentation of underdue Slate bonds for redemption they would be at tbe mercy of the hold ers of tbe Scale bonds. They knew, too, that the State could gain nothing, but must lose, by the sale of UmUd States bonds even if tbe State bonds could be bought at a reasonable premi um. This explanation, therefore, fails to explain. Do tbe people of Pennsylvania ap prove of a management of the Treasu ry by which the State loses $00,000 in interest annually, a loss which must be made good by taxation ? Are tbe voters of the State ready to endorse Henry K. Boyer, the Republican candi date for State Treasurer, who as Speak er of the House of Representatives stifled the inquiry into the management of the Treasury proposed by Repiesen tative Wherry ? Can fealty to party cover quite this glaring infidelity to tbe public interest ? These questions are submitted to the candid and intelligent judgment of the voters whatever may be their political affiliation. in the confi dent belief that they will decide them at the polls, not as the blinded slaves of ptrty, but aa free and thoughtful citi zens. Ox Thursday evenlnj of lust week a out Tialf w seven o'clock a tenlMe aud !lde jcenrref?

As acb of the sufferers was rescued he was carried into tbe quarters of the water police, where a large staff of medical uieu va on band, as well as a priest who did all they could to allevi ate their sufferinge. About forty persons have been re moved from tbe debris badly injured. Some have broken arms and legs, and others are badly crushed and mutilated. With Mabone having little else than the solid negro vote of Virginia to rely on, says the Pittsburg Post, and there being some 70.000 more white voters In tbe State than colored, tbe result of the election would seem to be a foregone conclusion. Tbe difficulty is to get the white voters in the sparsely settled mountain districts to tbe polls. Hither to there has been a pretty strong white element in tbe Republican party of Vir ginia, but they have been falling away from Mabooe at a tremendous rate, and it is said President Harrison is now convinced he made a mistake In espous ing Msboce's cause. Tbe last promt' nent Rt publican to bolt Mabone is Judge B, W. Hughes, United States district judge appointed by President Grant in 137-L Judge Hughes announ ces bis purpose to support the Demo cratic State Ticket. Ex-Senator Rid dlebcrger baa taken tbe stamp !n oppo sition to Mabooe. Tbe revolt among Republicans of prominence is steadily growing. Four of the five judges of tbe court of appeals, all Republicans, are opposed to Mabooe. The Staunton Vtrijxniau and the London Tdtphone, tbe two leading Republican papers of tbe S'ate, are opposing Mabcne's elec tion with great vigor. Scxlivax says it as all a joke about bis running for Congress and tbat he intends to bo'.d tbe New Yoik Sun responsible for publishing an al leged letter anaouftciug bis candidacy. Feollog tbe Farmers. Tbe farmers of this country could have no worse enemies tbat tbe peati lint demagogues who are endeavoring to am ate them with schemes of combin atioa fer controlling tbe wheat markets of tbe world. In furtherance of a plan of "Farmers Federation." it has been proposed to bold a Convention of the wheat-growers of tbe Mississippi Valley on the 23 of October next. In the meantime tbe American farmers are ad vised to witbold their wheat from mar ket, in order to compel consumers at borne and abroad to pay such prices as the Wheat Ring ia Chicago may de mand. Oae of the orjects of th!s scheme of a gigantic Farmers' Trust Is to reconcile tbe farmers of the country to tbe vari ous monopolies and combinations in trade bv which they are surrounded. If tne rarmers eou:a only be Induced io organize a Trust for control ir,g the wbeatmarket they would not be in a position to make war upon tbe Trust methods that systematically plunder them. As fellow-conspirators in at tempts to violate the laws of supply and demand, the bands of tbe farmers would be tied. Another object of this scheme of a Wheat-Growers Trust is to divert the attention of the farmers of the United States from tbe real evils which they suffer, and from the substantial means of remedy. While organiz:ng a Trust of their own, it is expected tbat tbe American farmers would cease to con cern themselves about tbe legislative abuses and mischiefs under which trade monopolies flourish. Even if aucb a combination to con trol tbe prices and supply of wheat should temporarily succeed, ft could end only in disaster to tbe American farmers, its benificiaries would be a few gamblers, who are speculating for a rise of prices in tbe bread market. Tbe first effect of a speculative com bination would be to bring all the re serves of wheat out of tbe granaries of Russia, Australia. Canada and other wheat-growing regions. Tbe Manipu lators of this scheme would soon dia cover that the world Is bigger than tbev seem to imigine. The next t fleet of an attempt to ar bitrarily raise tbe prices of bread in this country would be to extend tbe area of wheat production in other quarters of the globe, and, by largely iucreasiDg the world's snpply, to lessen the independence of consumers upon the American markets. During the last teven months there bas been a consider able increase in the exports of farm products from tbe United States. In this period the exports of meat and dai ry products alone increased to $05 000. 000. from 550.000,000 In the correspond ing mouths of the previous year. These American product) were sold at tbe prices that rule in the world's marke's under the laws of supply and demand. But let an attempt to corner the American market for wheat and other farm products meet with even tempora ry success, and It would be followed by a disastrous reaction in this export trade. Not only the farmers and trans porters but all other industrial interests in tbe country would suffer under tbe blow which could be given to com merce. Instead of listening to preposterous schemes of organizing a Wheat Trust against tbe bread-winners of the world, tbe manifest interest of American farmers is to crush the tariff-fed com binations and conspiracies for enhanc ing tbe cost of tha necessaries which they consume. 1'hiln. llteord. Tanner's Successor. President Harrison Is having a bard lime in seeking for a successor to Cor pora! Tauner. Major Merrill of Massachusetts de veloped a bad case of tbe foot-and-mouih disease which proved fatal to tbe Corporal tbat is, be opened his month and put his foot in it. and is out of the race. What the President wants is a professional veteran who will pur sue Tanner's policy of "busting tbe sur plus" without talking about it. Sildiers wbo have tbe old fashioned notion that a pension list itr a roll of honor made up ot disabled, needy and deserving' veterans, and wbo have scrupulous ideas as to tbe law, will not meet tbe requirements of this Administration. It wants some one wbo will "be liberal to tbe old soldiers and not talk. Such men are, unfortunately, not scarce, buc an additional qualification is necessary. Tbe Pension Commis sioner must, it appears, be acceptable to tbe powers tbat be in tbe Grand Army of the Republic. Tbe President bas practically adopted an amendment to tbe constitution requiring tbe "ad vice and consent" of this organization to bis nomination, preceding tbe advice and consent of tbe Senate. As General Alger, a probable rival of President Uarrison for the nomination in 1S92. is at tbe bead of tbe Grand Army, tbe complication is increased. What a pitiable exhibition is made by a little politician in a great office. -V. r WorUL Silence aad Taaaer. Why "bush up," as is proposed, the Tanner scandal ? Why suppress a sin gle detail ot this nefarious laid on tbe public Treasury ? Wby should any one act of theft or the name of ay partici pant therein not to be exposed to public objurgations 7 Tanner never soeebt silence when in power. His was tbe loudest yell of all. His strongest weapon was his jaw ; no adversary escaped his bray. In defeat be is for tbe nonce silent ; but it is only tbe silence of a man wbo bas been stunned. Anon be will break out again. So with Tanner's friends they are in retreat, but they retire yelping. It is tbe Administra tion tbat demands a bush. Harrison, who bas already lost much by the pen sion scandal, dreads the effect of fuller disclosures. With them will come further estrangement of his intimates and even greater d'.sgust among tbe luke warm. And yet an Administration tbat shuns investigation tbat baa any thing to bust up is an Administration which tbe people will never trust. Chicago Herald. L 23-toa Cast-steel Uaa !

Senator Quay bad better torn his atten lion to bis own State and let Virginia and tbe new northwestern S.ates sbift for themselves. Tbe Republican pri maries recently beld in this State bave abown tbat tbe Senator holds his power ia tbe Republican organization of Penn sylvania by a very pr ciious tenure. Tbe fact tbat be is tbe almoner of tbe Administration seems to weaken rather than strengthen his grasp of the lever of the Republican machine. It is tbe old story of too many pegs for tbe boles. In Lancaster county tbe other day Mr. 0iays benebmen were defeated in tbe election of a chairman of tbe Re publican County Committee. Tbe con trol of tbe party machine in tbat great R 'publican stronghold bas passed out of i he hands of the aspiring S-nator. Io Carbon county a few dys slue tbe delfga'esto tbe next Repub ican State Convention were elected by tbe oppo nents of Mr. Quay. And now comes Berks county with two sets of delegates to tbe next Republican State Conven tion one set elected (?) Io obedience to tbe orders and under the management of Mr. Quay's chosen lieutenant, tbe other selected in opposition by a large body of bolting member of tbe County Convention. It is surely a sign of trouble for tbe boss when be enconnters opposition among the Republicans of Berks county wbo never in the history of their party bave been known to pos sess sufficient spirit to make tbe faintest mnrmur or protest against tbe dictation of the State leaders. Indeed it looks as if Mr. Quay, when be undertook tbe contract of running the politics of the whole United States, "bit bff" a little more than be can "chaw." He is a tremendous fat-fryer to be sure. He can express more of tbe essential oil of manufactures in a given time than any other living politician. But with all bis adeptness as a lubrica tor be fails to keep the wheels of tbe Republican machine from creaking and tbeir fel'oes and spokes from falling apart. Jlarruibttrij l'alriot. A Strike Without Parallel. In making bis charge to tho Grand Jury in London tbe other day. the Re corder pointed out. with pardonabte pride, that altougb a hundred thousand men bad been on strike for near! a month, cot a single charge of violence bad been brought before the court. He thought that tbe fact was probably un precedented in tbe history of tbe woild. This statement is all tbe more re markable when we remember tbat a great many non-union men were put to work in place of tbe strikers, aud tbe character and the low grade of educa tion of tbe latter, many of whom could neither read or write. Their forbear ance and orderliness were not. there fore, due to any superior intelligence on tbeir par'. Probably tbeir only chance of success was in their retaining tbe sympathy of tbe public and such men as Cardinal Manning and tbe Lord Mayor of London, and that would bave been forfeited by acts of lawlessness. But while the leaders were able to realize this, the men themselves certain -ly did not do so. They obeyed orders implicitly, bowever. and tbeir dicipline, with tbe respect for tbe law so com mon among all classes of English, did the work. Tbe most intelligent order of work ing men iu tbe world is probably tbe Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, and Chief Arthur is one of tbe ablest leaders at tbe bead of eucb an organiza tion. But be never bandied tbe nkilled engineeis under bim in any protracted strike as well as John Burns did the ignorant dock laborers of London. We do not believe tbe Brotherhood bas ever gone through a long strike without a single case of violence being reported. But Burns' skill is likely to be tested still more thoroughly. He is going to Australia, it is said, and be will proba bly take charge or a strike there. If be succeeds as well as he did in Lon don, be will bave shown himself tbe greatest of all labor leaders, but it is not likely be can repeat bis success. X. Y. Star. Fame and a Fortune for aa Idea. Wbo is the American, born Yankee or naturalized, that will evolve from bis inner consciousness tbe idea of tbe thing which ehll be tbe greatest and characteristic feature of tbe New York Exposition, as Monsieur Eiffel's tower, for example, is tbe feature of tbe Paris show. Tbe Eiffel tower may be ugly, but it is great great in its appeal to tbe imagination. There is no doubt that it bas done more than any ten other things to make tbe Paris Exposition a wonder ful success. There never was anything like it before. It distinguishes the present exhibition from all the world's fairs of the past. It is tbe mark by which this exhibition will be remember ed in bistory. It is not only a colossal elevator shaft wbicb, for a dollar, takes you up, up, till your bead swims, but it is tbe type and representative of tbe spirit ot the age of net work iron and electricity. Tbe idea wbicb ia to do for tbe Col umbus Exposition of 1S92 what the Eiffel tower baa done for tba Paris fair of 1SS9 is yet to be produced by Amer ican genius. It is not enough to adopt the Eiffel tower and add fifty per cent, of neight. Nor will any suggestion be valuable which owes its novelty merely to its complex or bizarre character. Tbe undiscovered thing must bave tbe greatness of simplicity and originality. What shall it be ? Here is an oppor tunity which exteuds to tbe imagina tion of true creative genius a reward such as baa rarely been offered in tbe bistory of the world. Tbe competi tion is open to all. The man who answers the question satisfactorily will win fame and fortune at a stroke. JV. Y. Sun. In the new States of tbe Northwest tbe woman suffrage question will figure conspicuously io one form or other at tbe forthcoming elections in October. Washington, besides voting on ber Con stitution at large, will vote on a sepa rate article conferring tbe suffrage on women ; Sonth Dakota's Constitution provides tbat tbe first Legislature shall submit tbe question of Woman suffrage to tbe people ; North Dakota will allow the suffrage to be extended by a vote of tbe Legislature, subject to tbe approval of tbe people, and Montana will permit women wbo are taxpayers to vote upon any question tbat may be submitted to the taxpayers of the State. Ia the Dakotaa ana In Washington women may vote for school officeis and npon ail questions appertaining to school management. The new Common, wealths are evidently fair fields for further cultivation by the advocates of woman suffrage. A Wemuta's Diaeevery.
