In Parke's Opera House on Tuesday
night. Between five and six hundred
people were in the building and the
performance was nearly over, when
some one In the upper gallery smarted
an alarm of fire. The a ua lance, com
posed of m?n, women and children at
once became panic stricken and a rush
was made for the door, which is reached
by a narrow stairway and which was
eoon packed solid with a struggling
mass of human beings. Some fell,
others were crushed down by people
scrambling over them eager to get out,
while people from the oatside were trys
lDg to get In to see what was the mat
ter. The screams of those who were
being crushed to death were heart
rending and their piteous cries for
help were unavailing. After the ex
citement had subsided and through the
efforts of eomeof the cooler-headed peo
ple the fears of the audience calmed,
the work of extricating the unfortunate
peop'a from the stairway began,
and the scene was apalllcg. Eleven

the injured, is estimated at from fifty
to one hundred. The list of dead is as

was oa tire. Johnson made an exam
ination and found that the only founda
tion for th alarm was the volume of
smoke issuirg from tb chimney, which,
owing to the fact thit be had put some
s'aik coa! in the fire, was greater than

Secretary Proctor is devoting a good
part of bis energy and practical busi
ness sense to the question of improved
steel guns for our coast batteries. The
emp'oyment of more terrible explosives
than gunpowder is also occupying the
attention or the Secretary of War.
Wanamaker is a man of peace, and
his only weapon in the past has been
the yard slick ; yet he too, is alert on
the sutject.of uational defence. His
unrivalled apprehension of lh impor

Taking the Census.
The machinery for taking the census
is comparatively simple. The Superin
Undent has divided the who'e country
into 175 districts. There are ten of
these districts in Pennsylvania. For
each district a Supervisor will be ap
pointed in January. The duties of a
Supervisor are many and varied. He
subdivides his district into enumera
tors' divisions. He recommend? lists
of persons for appointment as enumer
ators ; He scrutinizes their work and
furnishes them their schedules, and
forwards the completed returns to Su
perintendent Porter. An enumerator,
as a role, comes into contact w:th oclv
about one in seven of the population.
He carries with him pchedules of popu
lation of agricult ere, manufactures, of
morality and vital s'atistics, and sched
ules relating to deaf, blind and insioe,
as well as of criminals. At the close of
every day of labor he mus;, as has been
stated, report by postal card to his
Supervisor and to Superintendent Por
ter. The census will be taken in June.
The enumerator most perform his aork
iu Cfteen days in the city and thirty

obliged to anpwer b"? qnes'ions. or suf

ln Viith The Dance.
The contest for tte Republican norn
ination for Governor may be snid to be
fairly started, and from now until the
day of the convention it will gradually
grow warmer. The lettding candidates,
Delaxeter and Hastings, have au
nounced themselves as being in the
tight to win and each is gathering his
followers about him.
It is plain that the Dirty machine ia
at work in the interest of the ambitious
Senator from Crawford, and the fact of
the matter is it was put together by
Delama'er's friends when his candidacy
was in en embryotic State.
General Hastings will virtually have
the snrpoit of the soldier element and
fcnti-Qiiayites will naturaliv drift lo
his side wen jay boldly "shows his
fin Roman hand, as there is no doubt
be will do at the proper time.

Peaver's Chance to llxpUia.
There is much interest in the report
that Governor Beaver is shortly to re
dace his yiew of the Johnstown relief
business to cold tjpe. Tbe way in
which the Governor looked at that mat
ter ia likely to contain a numter of in
teresting and novel features ; and the
pnbllo will await with wild expectation
tbe appearance of the Executive docu
ment foreshadowed in our Washington
dispatch.
As to the rela'ive positions of tbe
Governor and his Adjutant General,
they are by no means tbe most impor
tant aspects on whicb tbi Governor can
throw light. Whether Hastings tried
ti rnako capital by bis presence at
Johnstown, or whether Beaver tried to
r deem the capital that be had lost, by
rushing up to Willismsport and repre
senting that be bad rescued a stricken
city from a:arvatioo there, we can af
ford to l?ave to bo fongnt out bit ween
these gentlemen.
But there are some points on which
the Governor can, if be will, afford a
good deal of explanation. Thus be
may state tbe view by which be was led
to advocate taking money from tbe
State Treasury in an unconstitutional
and unauthorized manner rather than
adopt the constitutional method of call
ing a special session of the Legislature
to meet aa unparalleled emergency.
Having done that, he may next venti
late an interesting subject by showing
Jinw he came to represent that be had
51,000,000 available for the State Work
at Johnstown, while subsequent even'.a
showed the sum to be but $300,000.
These points made clear, tbe Govern
or will have accomplished a task big
enough to warrant bis adjouroing the
job of making mincemeat of General
Hastings to a future day. Some things
are difficult to explain ; but until tbe
Governor has smoothed out these little
Kints, be had better abstain from other
controversial literature. PitUslurg Dis

Xo Fnd lo Extravagant Expenditure.
Secretary Windom's report shows
that as fast as we reduce the Interest
charge oo our national debt we propor
tionately increase the payments for
pensions. Tbus Government expendi
ture is kept up to the war point twenty
Cve years affer the end of tbe war ; and
the suzgestioa that taxes should be res
duced is denounced as an unpatriotic
ss?ault upon the industries of the
country.
So excessive is the drain of taxation
that the ingenuity of statesmen Las
been constantly taxed during the last
quarter or a century to spend the mon
ey in the Treasoiv aa fast as it should
accumulate. The salaries of nearly
every i fficial in the Government service
have been largely increased ; vast sums
have been expended in the erection of
coff'y custcm-bouses, po6t rffices and
other public buildings in II parts of
the country ; an equal profusion bas
leen lavished upon internal improve
ments ; and what could not otherwise
be disposed of has tn-en devoted to the
most extravagant system of pensions
ever devised in any country under any
form or government since the werld be
gan. The recommendations In the message
or President Harrison in favor of en
larged expenditure for pensions, coast
defenses, national education, steam
ship subsidies, and for other purposes,
prove that the hope for auy relief of
the public bnrdens at the hands of a
Republican Administration is hopeless.
The President has no positive plan of
rnttingdown the revenue: and it h.s
schemes or expenditure should Jbe ap
proved by Congress curtailment would
be impossible. There seems to be no
bope of a return to frugal and econom
ical public Administration until the
Republican party shall bave been again
burled from power. Phila. Iiecord.
