The recnt reports telegraphed from
Europe, in which the assertion was
made tLat the oil wills of the Caspian

pronounced a stock jobbing canard.
The statement was made with great

diminished so rapidly that the Ilaasiar.

9 re now using tha oil exclusively for
fuel would not be able to do so much

KxTu esi dent Cleveland was
interviewed Wednesday night on the

he, ''that the leaven of Tariff T.eform
has at last Wvened the whole lamp.
The Wtt, which has scJTjred the most
from the unjust burden of Tariff Tax

forms of both Iowa and Ohio were
abreast of the St. Louis platform on the
subject cf Tariff Reform. The people
have consldt red and pfsaed judgment.
It was for the pcpla to decide. Tbey
ore now deciding. It 13 enough forme
to say that I am satisfied at the Indica

Ballot reform, says the New !
York Wurhl, is essecfially a Democrat-
1c came. It aims at'honesc elections,
uncontrolled by morey or the dictation
orauy spocits of master. It seeks to
secure to every chizen the right.to vote
as he thinks, without having to give
an accccnt of b!s conduct to the mn
who employs him or suffering risk of
punishment for giving expression to his
honest opinions in bis ballot.
Th? reform la a pressirgly necessary
safeguard to the liberties of the plain
people as unst an organized plutocracy
vhich last y.ar bought a political party
acd bullied helpless men into electing
Its candidate. For want of a really
secret ballot all power is passing from
the hands of the people into the Lands
of an organization of greedy monopo
lists who seen to establisn thenueivus
as a permanent ruliag cl&ss, ruMng for
Ihelr cwn advantage and enrichment.
On Friday of last week Frtsident
Ilarti-ion issued his proclamation ad
mitting Montana Into the Union as a
State. His action la sharply con
demned not only by Democrats, but by
Republicans, as a political trick ua
worthy of a President of the Uoited
State?. The obvious purpose la to 'ake
the Cnal decision cr the Silver Bow
county contest out of tho Territorial
Supreme Court, presumably D-rao-cmio
and give it to The State Su
preme Court, presumably Republi
can. The President has for this pur-,
poos practically usurped the power of
the existing Court.
Hie desire to secure the two Sena
tors from Montana, one of whom may
now be his own Son Russell, was so
strong that eyen the elections of mem
bers of bis cabicet wore set aside. It Is
understood tnt there was a lively de
bute over the proposed action at Tues
day's Cabinet meeting, and again at
the raettlng on Friday, and that the
legality of the President's course was
questioned by the best lawyers la the
Cabinet, bat was defended by Alter
cey General Miller.
Ik Harrison, eays the St. Louis I
liLh, has not satisfied the craying of
bis party for spoils, it is because that
craving is insatiable. He has made as
clean a sweep of the Democrats In of
fice as be dared make nader the laws
now in ferce, or as Republican strife
over suceeasion wocld permit bim to
make. He bas broken his solemn
rledges, suspended the Civil Service
roles, made "il. muting lie' of the
Repcblican platform, and to reward the
men who placed bim in office he bas
made the spoils system a greater nation
al scandal than it ever was before. If,
aitsr all this, they are not satisfied, and
have inflicted this defeat on the party
to show their dissatisfaction and to
revenge their disappointment?, their
conduct should show the rouLtry how
utter! Impoadible it is for aoy. resi
dent to sa.iafy all of them, and bow
impolitic it Is for a President to at
tempt to satisfy any of them by assign-.
ic the Civil Set vice to them as a for
aging grouud.
The Supreme Court of the Un
ited States at Washington on Mon
day rendered an opinion of great
interest lo property owners along the
line of the Pennsylvania Railroad in
Pennsylvania. George It. Duncan was
the owner of certain property running
from Twenty-third and Filbert streets,
in Philadelphia, to the Schuylkill river,
and of certain wharves along the river
front. This property, be alleged, had
been damaged and depreciated tn value
by reason of the elevated railroad tracks
and stone piers which the railroad com
pany bad built along Filbert street to
connect wltb its bridge across the
Schuylkill river. lie brongbt suit in
the Common Pleas Court, of Philadel
phia, to recover consequential damages,
and obtained judgment In bis favor.
The charter of the Pennsylvania
Railroad gives I. the right to acquire
whatever property is necessary for the
conduct of its business, compensation
to be made for any property taken
The courts, prior to 1874, repeatedly
held that this provision exempted the
company from the payment for proper
ty injured tut not actually taken. By
the State Constitution of Pennsylvan
ia of 1S74. it was provided that corpora
atioca shall make just compensation for
property taken, Irjuied or destroyed,
and it was ucder this provision that
judgment was given in Duncan's fsvor.
It was insisted by counsel for the
Pennsylvania Railroad that this con
stitutional provision could not apply to
the railroad because such explication
would be a violation of its charter and
a violation of the contract obligations
implied in the charter.
The case went to the Suprerce Court
of Pennsylvania and on this question
was decided against the Pennsylvania
Railroad. The court held that there
was no such contract on the part of the
State as exempted the Pennsylvania
Railroad from payment of consequen
tial damages. The Pennsylvania Rail
road Company was liable, in spite of
any provision in its charter, to the will
of the people, expressed either by di
rect act of the Legislature or by con
stitutional convention. This court con
curs in that opinion, and affirms with
cost the juliiment of the lower court. 1
The new Catholic university of
America at Washinjrto. D. C, was on
Wednesday formally dedicated and
opened with impressive ceremonies in
the presence of a large number of pre
lates of the church and distinguished
Icyrr.en from all parts of the country.
A Iarga part of the ceremonies, bow
ever, had to bo omitted, on account of
tho inclement weather. The cold driz
zling rain with which the day opened
continued uninterruptedly throughout
the greater part of the day.
The exterior decorations of the build
ing were both elaborate and unique.and
owing to the care with which they had
been selected and arranged, suffered
but little in appearance from the rain.
The Interior decorations were simple
and eff3Ctive. The national colors pre
dominated in everything. Masses of
cat flowers, palms, and other foliage
plants occupied every available space,
while flags, both large ar.d small, were
draped abont the windows aud doors
and festooned from the ceiling and
chandaliers. The corridors were also
effectively decorated. Between the
windows were shields and escutcheons
bearing the names of the different
States of the Union and the countries
of Europe, with the dates of the estab
lishment of the prominent educational
institutions in each. These were sur
mounted with small American and pa
pal fljgs.
Ik an accurate description of the
forest fires which for two months have
been sweeping over Montana, Idaho
and Washingtou Territories cou'd rj
written, the New York JlrralJ declares
it would make a story so thrilling and
exciting as to eclipse in Interest and
facination the most enchanting ro
mance. The forest area have been so
extensive, so terrible and destructive
that the test informed pioneer looks at
you with blank amazement when yon
request him to place In figures the
value of the timber destroyed or to
g'.vi an estimate of the loea in the Ter
ritories. When it is known that in one
day the fire swept through Montana
over an area of 100 miles in length and
eighty in idtb, and that for weeks the
flames have been doing similar woik at
anierent points in a country stretching
from tho eastern slopes of the Rocky
Mountains to the waters of the Pacific,
some vague, indeQnif a idea of the great
destruction of timber and other property
may be gained. Where but recently
stood U'l and stately pines now black
ened stumps and bald and ashen moun
tain fronts greet the disappointed eye.
Baltimore Nov. 12. The Catholic
Congress met at Baltimore, M I., on
Monday morning. The delegates, to
the number of about 1.200. assisted at
a solemn pontifical mass in the morning,
celebrated by Archbishop Corrigan, of
New York. The sermoo was preached
by Archbishop Cross, of Oregon. lie
welcomed the delegates and gave a
brief outline or the history of the
church in America for the past 100
years. At the conclusion or the ser
mon the delegates marched to the Con
cordia opera bouse. The congress was
called to order at 11 : 15 A. m. by Wills
iam J. Onaban, of Chicago, and Arch-
bibhop Ireland, of St. Paul, prayed
that the light of the Holy Spirit would
be shed upon the deliberations of the
congress. Onahan read a message
from the Pope, whose name was greet
ed with tumultous applause. The mes
sage was sent in response to one sent
two days ago.
The farmers, says the Philadelphia
litronl, got in their work at the late
election. The Granger districts in
Ohio and Iowa are responsible for the
Repcblican overthrow iu tboee Scates.
Even in Pennsylvania the Dsmocratic
gains in the counties show that the
drift is favorable to a change of the
political complexion of the State. The
local defection in Philadelphia sprang
from no distrust of Democratic princi
ples, but from a sudden quarrel over a
matter of expediency. There is no
comfort for Protectionisms or Prohibi

A. Kentucky Tragedy.
On last Friday afternoon about two
o'clock. Colonel William Cassias Good
loe. Collector of Internal Revenue of
the Seventh Kentucky District, and
Col. Armstsad M. Swope met in the
poet-office corridor at Lexington, Ken
tucky. Both men were after the mail
that was In their lock-boxes, which are
close together. Tbey approached these
boxes almost at the same Instant, and
wban each saw who the other was they
glared at each other fiercely. Swope
drew a pistol and Goodloe a clasp-knife.
As soon as the weapons were drawn
Swope fired and Goodloe knocked the
pistol down as it went off. the ball en
tering his abdomen on tbe right aide.
Goodloe then began stabbing his op
ponent in the breast with bis knife,
which forced Swope backward toward
the money-order door, tbey having be
gun the fight about midway in the lob
by. After several blows bad been
struck by Goodloe. Swope fired again,
missing Goodloe. In a moment after
firing the second shot Col. Swope fell on
bis face witnin about ten feet of tbe
door leading into tbe moneyorder de
partment, and, weltering in his blood,
died almost instantly. On his person
were found thirteen wounds, they bes
log on bis back, arms, and la his breast.
Immediately after the killing Good
loe walked to a physician's office, where
bis wounds were examined. lie was
perfectly cool, and made a disposition
of bis property in case of death. Colo
nel Goodloe is married and has eight
children. At 11 o'clock be was resting
well in bis room at the Ptceoix Hotel.
His physicians said bis condition was
more hopeful. He Is not under arrest.
Pablic sympathy Is equally divided,
but universal sorrow is expressed.
The cause of tbe difficulty was a
statement mads in the Republican Con
vention of My 1, 1SS8, by Colonel
Goodloe, that fully two-thirds of the Fay
ette County delegation in convention
did not speak to Swope. A correspond
ence between the men occurred about
the middle of May, 1S38. It was very
brief and simply withdrew the remarks
each bad made about the other, and it
was thought the trouble was over.
Colonel Swope was about fifty years
old and a native of Kentucky. lit
served in the Union Army on General
Buell's etaff, and since tbe war bas
been prominent in politics. Colonel
Goodloe was also an officer acd equally
prominent in Republican politics. There
has long been a jealousy between tbe
two men. Goodloe Is a personal friend
of President Harrison, and Swope
blamed Goodloe for defeating bis ap
plication for Commissioner of Internal
Revenue under the new Administra
tion. At 2 o'clock on Sunday af ternoon
Colonel Gocdloe d el, thus clo sinlg the
last act in this unparalleled tragedy.

The D resent Administration hi. hMn
In existence since the 4th of March last.
It is but tbe sheerest truth, known of
all men, that it bas not up to this day,
done a single thing or, for the matter
of that, .aid a single thing to indicate
that it has any idea or policy oncon-
nected with the distribution of the Fed
eral offices.
Never before in hi.stnre- nf tha
try has public office, which should be a
I'uuuc truai, oeen so persistently used
as a political spoil, or as a reward to
the practical politician, as has been the
case since the 4th of March. It has
been the open boast of Assistant Tost-masten-General
Clarkson that he bas
removed &nd appointed more post office
officials than any of his predecessors did
in tbe same time. In six months be
removed as many as Mr. Cleveland did
in four years, although Mr. Harrison
declared that none should be removed,
thst all should be permitted to serve
out their full terms.

Chicago, Nov. 11. A dispatch to the
"N"" from Dbs Moinev, Iowa, says :
"There is evidently going to be lively
times In tbe Legislature this winter.
The Republican majority is so small
thr.t every effort will be brought to bear
for tbe defeat of Senator Allison and
the enactment of a High License law.
Already the Democrats are casting
about for a suitable candidate for the
United States Senate for whom a few
Republicans can be induced to vote.
Flushed with their victory in the
election of a Governor, they naturally
tnrn to their successful candidate as
the most available man, but there Is a
stumbling block in the way in the shape
of the probable defeat of their candi
date for Lieutenant Governor, In which
event, to taka Mr. Boies out of the Gov
ernor's chair would be to put a Repub
lican Lieutenant Governor in it.
There seems tn tm lit ti i4nnki

that the liquor law would be changed
somewhat, even to tbe extent of the en
actment of a High License law.
This is not only tbe desire of Xb
Democratic party, but seems to be- tbe
will of the majority of the people aa ex
pressed at the polls last Tuesday.
Already the Republican leaders, like
Congressmen Henderson and Reed, and
Republican papers like Sioux City
7ovmal," have not hesitated to say
that Prohibition was the prime cause
of Republican defeat, and to express a
belief that a High License law will be
enacted mis wiuter.
The Republican party, as a party,
has never espoused tbe Prohibition
cause, but bas always stood in the at
titude of carrying out tbe will of the
people.
Now that it seems to be the feeling
of the peonle that they had enough of
extreme Prohibition, and, are willing to
return to high license, it will be an easy
matter for eaough Republicans in tbe
Legislature to combine with tbe Demo
crats and give them the change de

Apprehensions abont tbe speedy pre
sentation of Republican certificates of
Senatorial election involve reliance on
tbe fallacy called "begging tbe ques

Caught In a Blbrzard.
Trinidad, Col., Nov.10. The
bodies of John Martin and Henry Mil
ler, the cowboys who were frozen to
death near Sierra Grande ia labt week's
terrible blizzard,, were brought to Fol
aom to-day for burial. Four other
men belonging to the same party are
massing, and it is believed that they,
too, are dead. It is reported that twen
ty men are missing from this range,
and it is feared that many of them will
never bo found.
Jolly and Wife, two or tbe compan
ions of Martin and Miller, tell a heart
rendering story of their sufferings.
When tbe blizzard strnck them on
Wednesday night of last week they
were holding a herd or 2.500 cattle.
The wind became a hurricane before
morniDg, and when Martin and Jolly
went ou tbe last guard about 3 A. 21.
tbe storm was so blindidg that tbey
eonld not bold the herd, and Jolly start
ed to tbe camp for help. In the mean
time Miller and Wise had left the camp
to assist in holding the cattle. Jolly
could not find tbe camp, and Miller and
Wiee.couId not find the herd. All three
were drawn together by shouting, and
wandered around until daylight, when
tbey found Martin.
Tbe cold was so bitter that tbe men
entered a ravine, and after fastening
tbe horses, took tbe saddle blankets and
buried themselves in a snowdrift. Jolly
and Wise were sllghtlv apart from
Martin and Miller, and early Friday
BQorning, when they emerged from the
drift, Martin only was in sight, and he
was dead. Miller was found shortly
afterward, bis horse standing ie front
of him, as If to protect bim from tbe
cold. Miller was dying from exposure,
and Jolly started to ret assistance.
Wise remained with Miller, and was
fast becoming insensible himself when
a Mexican sheep herder f Dund bim and
took him to Rhode's ranch, a few miles
distant. The men letornsd to where
Miller bad been left, and found him
lifeless.
Duties el Jurymen.
In a case recently tried In the Alle
gheny County Court the jury, after be
ing out six hours, sent word down to
Judge White that they were unable to
agree on a verdict, tbe jury standing
eleven to one, and tbe one would not
give in. Judge White bad tbe jury
brought into court, and in kind but
firm words informed them that be was
surprised tbat they could Dot agree.
Tbe case was a trifling one, and in
volved hardly anything more than tbe
question of costs, as he bad intimated
in bis charge. His Honor stated that
the probability was that tbe one juror
was wrong, as there were eleven
chances tbat way. Tbe juror should
feel tbat the eleven were as honest and
intelligent as be was. It was not a
question of conscience with jurors -tbat
is a mistaken idea ; it is simply a
question of judgment, and a minority
could agree without injury to the con
science. His honor stated that be could
not thick or discharging tbe jury, and
beped tbat they would reach a verdict
in a few minutes. The ottstinate juror
was evidently impressed with tbe
Judge's remaras, as he immediately
gave in to the other eleven, and with-.
uui leaving iue dox a verdict or not
guilty was handed down.
