the Republicans of Montana are now

Ing oat the rotes of Democratic dis
tricts. It Is doubtful bowerer If the
Democrats of Montana will allow them
selves to be either bullied or cheated
out of their victory.
The promises held out to tbe soldiers
by tbe Harrison Administration were
empty after all ; just like the Ciril
Service Reform promises and the others.
Tanner's order fixing f4 a month as

The Republican party is the party of
false pretenses.

On Monday, the argument list for
Armstrong. Cambria, Lawrence, Som
erset and Mercer counties In tba Su
preme Conit was taken cp and the first
case argued was the appeal of Joseph
and Darld Nicely, who were conricted
at Somerset of the mirder of Herman
Umborger and sentenced to be hanged.
Their appeal is based on errors or the
Court In rulings and tbe admission of
evidence.
The highest price erer paid for a
four-footed animal In the work! was
paid at Independence, Indiana, last
week for a three-year-old trotting colt
named Axtell. One hundred and fire
thousand dollars in cold cash was
flanked down to a young farmer named
Williams, who owned and raised the
phenomenal trotter that beat all previ

A rate jcr startling financial disclo
sure has been made in Southwestern
Kansas by shrewd attorney tiring in
that region, which promises to coot the
Joan companies Interested In Western
mortgage loans millions of dollars.
Mortgages hare been placed upon large
quantities of homestead lands before
the f nil time ef settlement had expired.
These mortgages are now belle red to be
Illegal, and the effects will be wide
spread. A WAenrxQTON dispatch, says :
There ts a well-founded rumor that an
entirely new deal with regard to the ra
eant Commlsslonership of Tensions Is
being contemplated. The President is
at his wits' ena oyer his inability to find
a suitable man. and at last In sheer des
peration he has pounced upon Internal
Revenue Commissioner Mason, of West
Virginia. Maeon !s to be promoted to
the Tension Commlsslonership, and ex
Internal Rerenne Commissioner Raum,
of Illinois, Is to be restored to his old
position. This Is the present program,
but there Is no telling how long it will
hold.
It Is hardly safe these days for a man
from the country to renture Into Ebens
burg. A member of tbe Republican
ring Is sitting on erery More box, or
stationed at every corner, and tbe
ountrymsn is waylaid and importnned
to Tote tbe Republican county ticket at
erery step. How friendly theee Repub
licans are with Democrats whom they
approach, and expect to cajole Into
rotlng part of their ticket. With whae
a cordial grip they take him by tbe
hand, and how glad they are to see him.
The derll on the mountain was not
more plausible and his friendship was
just as sincere.
The new secret ballot law of Con
necticut, says the Harrlsburg 1'atrkt,
although not as effectual as the genuine
Australian system, seems to have
"knocked thunder." out of the Repub

EDMUND A. BIGLER.
Edmund A. Bigler, the Democratic can
didate for State Trauwr-r, wu born in
Clearfield, in AnguM, 1843. He is the
on of Hon. William Bigler, Governor of
the State from 1S02 to looo, and United
States Senator from 1S56 to 1361. Mr.
Bigler baa always been engaged in tnuu
nM pursuits and never held political
office until appointed Collector of Twenty
third Internal Revenue District br Presi
dent Cleveland, July 1L 1885. He was
removed by President Itarruon on May
31st. 1839.
TriE Democratic nominee for Stabs
Treasurer Is a man without a stain upon
his name, nis Integrity is a household
word wherever be Is known and bis
moral and political virtues stand forth
prominently as examples for others to
follow. The name of Bigler ought to
cause a thrill to stir the hearts of the
Democracy, especially the older por
tion of them who so well remember Mr.
Bigler'a father, the Gorernor. At tbe
time he was Governor of Pennsylvania
bis brother John Bigler, was Governor
of Calfornis. Bo in were printers and
self-made men, and the two great Com
monwealths, tbe "Keystone' and the
Golden State," were never better gov
erned or managed than under the Ad
ministration of the Bigler brothers.
Hon. William Bigler, the Tennsylranla
Gorernor. and tbe father of Edmund
A., was afterwards United States Sen
ator at a time when tbe Senate com
prised many of tbe ablest and most
brilliant men In the nation, and served
with high credit to himself and State,
The nominee for State Treasurer has
never held any public office, except the 1
one he has just retired from, that of
Revenue Collector for the Twenty-First
afterwards tbe Nineteenth district,
with headquarters at Allegheny and
Pittsburg, the dnties of which be dis
charged in tbe moat capable and honor
able manner. Mr. Bigler is a clear
headed, able man, possessing strong
common sense of tbe highest order. He
has been an active Democratic worker
for the past twenty years and merits the
warmest support of tbe party. He was
a delegate In tbe Convention that nom
mated General Hancock for President
and served as a member of the National
committee In 1884. He is a man In the
prime of life, being but 46 years old.
Let the Democracy of Pennsylvania
resolve to elect Mr. Bigler aa they did
Col. Noyea, "Old Square Timber,"
some years ago.
The mischief done by Tannerlsm haa
not yet been measured. The extent to
which it has involved the finances of
the country Is only beginning to be ap
parent. Tbe Philadelphia Inquirer, a
Republican journal of good standing,
declares that the additional expendis
tores consequent upon Tanner's reck'
leasness amount to nearly $100,000,000,
besides untold millions indirectly In
involved In the course or bis
profligate administration. Tbe resort
is said to bare been witheld by the
Treasury Department through appre
hension of disastrous effect upon tbe
financial and bnslness Interests of tbe
country as well as upon Republican po
litical prospects. Wisdom 9c Co. need
not be so delicate. The people have bad
enough ot raise statements ; they can
stand a good deal or plain truth, no
matter how bitter It may be. Let the
policy or suppression eome to an end,
and let the facts about what Is being
done with the people's money be laid
before the people.
Tresident Eliot, of Harvard Col
lege, has formally declared his entrance
into tbe Democratic party. The declar
ation was made in an address to tbe
members of the Bay Srate Club.
"I believe," said he, "that the princi
ple or protection Is false and del naive
and that the United States are indus
trially crippled and their natural devel
opment prevented by these heavy taxes.
I believe also that tbe reform or tbe
civil service Is a vital issue In this
country and that the perpetuation of
our free Institutions is dependent upon
this nform. Cleveland honestly pro
moted this reform, but Harrison baa
betrayed It."
President Eliot also declared that he
favored a syetem of pensions not only
for soldiers and sailors, bnt for judges,
teachers, policemen and all other pab
lic servants who deserved them.
Ttik ties of eoosacgolnlty, says the
New York World, are stronger with
President nan-laon that even the tie
or partisanship and ordinarily the lat
ter hold him like a three inch cable.
Arter a careful search tbe President
has found another relative, and prompt
ly appointed him to office. The favor
ed man and a rery good man he ts
is ex-Congressmao Findiay, of Marys
land, a second cousin or Mr. Harrison,
who has appointed him a member or tbe
Venezuelan Commission In spite or the
fact thee be was formerly a Democrat
Is member of that Congress. Benjamin
Harrison Is no heathen he looks after
bisk la.
Tn Republicans tn Montana axe al
ready pretty well lmbned with the
principles or their party. The chair
man of the State Committee now claims
that they have carried two eoantiei In
that State that have heretofore been
conceded to the Democrats. The Ret
publican majorities, according to that
eminent expert In figures. In these two
counties are four and two, and with
these few rotes they proposed to cap
ture the Legislature and two United
States Senators. Tbe Montana Demo
crats characterize this as a barefaced
attempt at stealing a State, and it cer
tain! baa that appearance.
Trrasary Reform
Letter from tx-Senator IT. J. TTumex.
He (Bigler) .was pledged by tbe State
ConreniloB, and has given bis word
that he will faithfully execute tbe pro
visions or the Act ot Jnne 6, 1883.
Henry K. Boyer has given no such
pledge and his party, now In power, is
flagrantly violating that law, both in
spirit and letter by giving "Tbe State
Treasury King Banks" the Interest cn
public funds.
Alter tbe passage of tbe Act of Jnne
6, 1883, Governor Pattison was obliged
to resort to the courts by mandamus to
compel tbe commissioners of tbe sink
ing f nnd to obey tbe law. The law was
treated as a nullity till 18S4. But let
ns bold Governor Pattison responsible
for its execution for three years and
five months, and compare that term
with the one year and eleven months or
Governor Beaver's administration as
appears by the State Treasurer's sworn
report.
From tbe passage or tbe law or Jnne
6, 1883, to December 31, 1386. Gorernor
Pattison compelled tbe investment or
J4.300,00u U. S. bonds costing $5,305,
837. These bonds would bave earned
by February 1, 1892. when the first
State bonds fail due, $1,238,715 Interest.
He also compelled the purchase of $1,
901.500 State bonds costing $2,236,642.
saving In interest by February 1, 1892,
$609,117, or a total saving of $1,847.
862 by February 1, 1892. when the first
State bonds rail due. The total invest
ment by Governor Pattison in State and
U. S. bonds was $7,542,479.
In one year and eleven months Gor
ernor Beaver invested in no U. S. bonds
and only $2,067,650 State bonds, costing
$2,211,308, thus saving for tbe State by
February 1, 1892, $460,629. But he
sold U. S. bonds purchased by Governor
Pattison in December, 1SS7, and Janu
ary, 1888, $1,000,000, thus losing for the
State by February, 1392, $165,333 in
interest. This lose, when deducted
from Beaver's gains, leaves a total net
gain for Beaver for one year and eleven
months of $295,296. That Beaver could
bave done much better for tbe State
bad he not feared the State Treasury
Ring more tcan he loved the people. Is
proved.
When Governor. Pattison's term ex
pired, there was cash in tbe sinking
fund $958,923. By July 31.1889, Gor
ernor Bearer, by refusing to invest in
U. S. bonds and In State bonds, to a
limited extent, bad increased tbe sink
ing fund money to $2,719,000, Had
Governor Beaver compelled tbe invest
ment of this money in State bonds, be
would bare saved for tbe people at least
$320,000 more. Bat let the peo
ple remember this $2,716,000 is loaned
to tbe "State Treasury Ring Banks"
nnder the guise of s deposit, and by
such banks loaned to the people at 07
03 per cent. Interest, thus enabling
such banks to make at least $700,000
out of the peoples money. To recapi
tulate :
rattlsoo invested. 17,542.479
Beaver Invested 1,311.303
Fatuson saved - .. 1.647.862
Beaver saved- 293.296
This Is the difference between Gov
ernor Pattison, who served the people
for three years and five months, and
Gorernor Bearer who served the bosses
for one year and eleven months.
Edmund A. Bigler will serve tbe
people as did Governor Pattiron. Henry
K. B. Boyer will serve tbe bosses as
does Governor Bearer. Let tbe people
rote for Bigler and verve themselves,
or rote for Boyer and make money for
tbe Slate Treasury Ring.

D em or rails Dopes and Dangers.
The past week has been a rery disas
trous one for tbe Republican Adminis
tration. It is impossible to account for
political reenlta so widespread as those
in Indianapolis, In Newark, and in the
cities and towns or Connecticut, other
wise than by tbe operation or a com
mon and powerful cause. Tbe only
cause that can have controlled results
in these places is tbe public sentiment
aroused by the misconduct of the Fed
eral Administration. There is unmis
takably a general current against liar
rlsoatam that prevades all local contro
versies. Effort to ascribe to petty In
dividual or local causes Democratic
successes occurlog in such uniformity
In different States, Is absolutely futile.
The only explantation is that the peos
pie are against the Republican party.
Tbe Indications for tbe future agree
with this deduction from tbe events ot
tbe recent past. In Ohio the Republi
cans are totally demoralized by tbe ex
posure or tbe Infamous conspiracy
against tbe Democratic candidate ror
Governor. In New York the party of
the Administration la broken np by the
greatest dissensions since tbe war be
tween tbe Stalwarts and naif Breeds,
during which tbe S'ate want Democrat
ic by neariy 200.000 plurality. In New
Jersey an ineligible candidate is march
ing to certain defeat. There Is no
where any gleam of hope for tbe Repub
licans, and all around tbe skies are
bright for the Democracy.
Only in foolish overeonfldence or In
disunion through factional contentions
and local jealousies Is there any danger
for the Democratic party this year.
With a united frost and proper appie
ciation of work to be done, tbe Demo
crats will win in every important eon
test. New Jersey Is all right. Ohio Is
doing remarkably well. Lt ns aee
that no mistakes be made tn New York.

tates. Before we can more band or
foot in tbe way of Reform, wa must
throw erery safeguard around tbe ballot-box.
No rifles or bayonets, bombs
or other weapons of cowards will be
necessary. What we require is a Secret
ballot, one by which the partially free
man may become in troth a freeman.

TBE1SUBY BEFORM.
Way Beferat la the State Treasury Is
5eeded. aad why the Election or
Edmund A. Bigler will
premets It.
1. Because under Republican rule
taxation has largely exceeded tbe needs
of the State, and vast sums ef money
bave 1 in providently gathered into the
Treasury vaults.
2. Because Republicans officials have
failed to use or invest these m oners as
the law directs, and the State baa lost a
large sum. amounting to nearly one
quarter of a million dollars tn two
years.
3. Because, at the command of a po
litical boss, these surplus funds of the
Slate are deposited with favorite banks,
corporations and firms, in sums ranging
from ten thousand to six hundred
thousand dollars, to be used for bis
private political advantage, and their
private gain.
4. Because, in these transactions, the
State has only one-halt million dollars
security ror more than two and one-half
million dollars thus deposited.
5. Because, with more than one mil
lion and a half of uninvested surplus in
the Sinking Fond and no loans dne or
reimbursable, the Republican Sinking
Fund Commissioners (of whom a Re
publican State Treasurer was one) sold
a million ot United State bonds that
were earningour per cent, interest fox
tbe State, and added the proceeds to
the already swollen Treasury.
C. Because, not counting the pro
ceeds or these Government bonds.,
which were sold at less than market
rate, and after these Republican offK
ciala had purchased eight hundred and
two thousand dollars worth (par) of un
due State loana at a prion above the
then market rate, there remained in the
Treasury over a million dollars in cash.
7. Because the Republican majority
In the Legislature refused to stop this
flow Into tbe Sinking Fand when it was
shown to be enormously greater than
tbe requirements of said fnnd.
8. Because tbe Sinking Fnnd Com
misaioners, to-wlt : C. W. Stone,
Secretary of State ; Thomas MeCa
ment. Auditor General, and W. B.
Hart. State Treasurer, are all Republi
cans ; and it would be for the beat In
terests ot all tbe people that the tax
payers, hair a million at least In cumber
who hare named Edmnnd A. Bigler
tor State Treasurer, should be repre
sented, (in obedience to the well estab
lished principle or minority Representa-
tation.) in the management or the mon
eys belonging to all the people.
9. Because the safe keeping of tbe
public moneys raised by general tazas
tion upon tbe property of the citlzena
of all political beliefs, is a matter not
of private bnt of public concern, and
should not be connected with partisan
polities, and much less be made the
personal and private affair of a faction
al Boss ; and tbe election or Mr. Bigler
would be a wise step in the direction or
a much needed reform, to-wit : non
partisan management of the State
Treasury.

Tbe barbarous customs of the people
of England are a great shock to culti

of what be saw in Albion :
"Men and women are seated indis
criminately round tbe same dish and at
the same table. Even a man and bis
brothervia-Iaw do not avoid each
other's company. Besides Invitations
to dinner there are invitations to tea
gatherings, such as are occasional ly
glren by wealthy merchants or distin
guished officials. Whim th tlm
invitations are sent to an equal number
or men ana women, ana arter they are
all assembled, tea and sugar, milk,
bread and the like, are mat nnt m.
to conversation. More particularly are
mere invuauona to eaip ana posture,
when the host decides what man Is to
oe tbe partner of what woman, and
what woman or wbat man. Then, with
both arms grasping each other, they
leave the tabla In natra mil lan oVln

gratification. A man and woman nr..
