EBENSBURC. PA.. FRIDAY, - - MARCH 21, 1890. In a New Yoik local Court on Tues day a Chinamen, who was called as a witness took the oath by lighting a parlor match and blowing it out. No one could make lighter of an oath than this. An adlreaa has been issued by the Farmers' alliance of that State to Kansas delegation In Congress, manded legislation for the relief of the agricultural interests. It Is stated in the address that one law nrm in south era Kansas has 1,800 mortgages on which they have ordered to foreclose. France, like the troubled sea, is nerer at rent politically. On Friday last the French Ministry disolved, the Senate having by a majority of 98 re fused a vote of confidence in it. A new Cabinet, te last perhaps less than a year, will be formed and then in torn be displaced. France is fickle and Tar table as the weather. Deputy Commissioner of Public Worts Dernaid F. Martin, of New York City, was arrested on Monday in bis office on Chambers street, on indict ments found against him by the grand jury. lie is charged with receiving bribes in the sheriff's ode when be was order of arrst clerk under Sheriff Graat. Olher arrests will follow. A land slide occurred at 3 o'clock on Saturday night at Troy, New York descending upon a building in which there were sleeping sixteen persons, killing three of them and injuring six. There were three buildings near, the course of the slide, one of which was buried beneath the clay, another was badly damaged and the third shattered. A novel plea was made before the Tardon Board. Harrisburg, for clemen cy in the case of Charles Larrabee, serving a life sentence for killing Lew Wsllace near Oil City in 1S74. His counsel urged that Larrabee shot Will ams, while out gunntag as a favor be cause Williams wanted to commit sui cide, and wss afraid of going to bell if he killed himself. Brazilian citizenship Is to be definite quantity, with no doubt of vagueness as to Its title. According to a decree of the new Government, every tnno of whatever birth Is consid ered a citizen of Brazil, except as be dedaitet? declares his Intention to re main under the Government of bis own land within six mouths after publica tion of the decree. The special reason utged for making young Mr. ltelamater the Republican candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, says the Philadelphia lieaynl. Is that he has contrived to place Senator Quay under particular personal obligation for favors conferred. If the Grand Old Party can pay Mr. Quay's debts with such a trifl as a Gubernatorial nomina tion, it will, of course, make Laste to do it. "Let it be understood," said Govern or Boies, or Iowa. In his inaugural ad dress, "that the people of this State de mand cheap clothing, cheap fuel, cheap implements of labor in short, cheap necessaries. That they are not It 'erest ed la cheap tobacco, and that it com pelled to take the latter cheap and the former dear, they will surely resent tbe injury." That demand is not confined alone to Iowa. Prefect Harry W. Kino, of tbe Pennsylvania Institution for the In struction of tbe Blind, Philadelphia, which place is being examined by the Board or Managers with reference to ascertaining the truth of charges pre ferred against its heads of grots mis management and cruelty to the in mates, was committed to jait in de fault of 52,000 ball. Joseph Gains, a blind boy, is his accuser. In 39 rural counties of New York from which the returns of the Spring election are in. the Republicans have 411 supervisors and the Democrat 424. Last year the Republicans had 523 and the Democrats 343 supervisors in tbe ama counties. These are straws show ing which way the wind is blowing over the rural districts of tbe Empire State. Tbe late Samuel J. Tilden used to take great interest in tbe Spring elections as prognostics of the drift of political sentiment. I'nrsiDENT Haerison In a proelas nation on Saturday ordered all settler- cff the Cherokee Strip. In bis warning to them be says : "Tbe lands known as the Cherokee Strip tie no. open to settlement The bill pending in Congress and intended to provide a Civil Government for the country known as Oklahoma, does not provide for opening the Coerokee Strip or out- jet to oeujement, ana has not as yet received the yote of tbe two Houses of CocgTefts, or tbe approval of the Presi entrance oi SettieiS upon these lands is unlawful, and all ptrsons are hereby warned against entering .thereon. " Tu House at Washington, on Moo day passed a bill authorizing tbe Su pertntendent of Census to enumerate the Chinese population of the United States in such a manner as to enable him to make a complete and accurate deactipitive list of all Chinese persons who are In tbe United State at the time of taking the census, and to give each person so enumerated certificate containing particulars necessary for identification, which certificate shall be the sole evidence of the right of the person to be and remain in the United States. Penalties are provided for transfer or sale of these certificates. One hundred thousand dollars is ap propriated to carry out the provisions of tbe act. At every session of Congress says tbe Harrisburg Patriot, one or more Army Generals are retired with full rank and pay withont protest from the) people. Tbe wages of a Major-General in ac tive service is 17.500 per annum and 13.623 when retired. As Artemns Ward would say, "this la a pretty soft snap" for the Major-Generals ; but how about the peltate soldier f To be sue, we recognize the disparity io rank between the General and the private, but, to be outspokenly honest, we must confess that, for the life of us, we fail to see why a General ia not able to economize on a salary of $7,500, and why a private should be expected to do so on a salary of $156. Suppose a bill ware Introduced Into Congress retiring Private James Jones on half pay for life ? What a bother it would make and bow tbe very men who cow see such great virtue in a General and such equity in turning him loose with a lite salary, would shake their beads and decry the man who would dare to presume thus boldly to advocate a reward for service and merit rather than to rank and station. And yet, by what right in a democracy has a General to any greater allowance upon retirement from active service than should be accorded to a private soldier ? Tbe answer will be foond in the fact that this is a democracy in name only, and that class distinctions with ns are as clearly and rigidly de fined as any despot io kingdom in the world. A dispatch from Berlin to London on Tuesday says that Prince Bismarck and his son. Count Herbert Bismarck, have tendered their resignations to the Emperor and that bis majesty has ac quiesced in the withdrawal of tbe chancellor. Another dispatch coofirmstbis, and also states that a rumor is current in Berlin to the effect that the entire mins istry has resigned. Tbe report is generally believed though the reason for the Chancellor's sudden alteration of his decision to re tain office until after final adjournment of the labor conference is not apparent since it is known that it was only at the earnest solicitation of the kaiser that he was persuaded to forego his recent in tention to resign forthwith. If tbe report be true it Is surmised that a fr?sb disagreement between the Emperor and the Chancellor, over tbe policy of tbe former, baa occurred. Prince Bismarck has taken no pains to conceal bis disbelief in the social policy of his master, and it is possible that foreseeing 1U complete i allure, he is anxious to beUke himself Into private life before tbe storm breaks, la order that no responsibility for the disaster may attach to him. The Brooklyn -EaoZe, which is the most influential representative of the Hill wicg of tbe Democratic party in New York, in defining its position as to the men, says it "thinks that Alfred C. Cbaplo would d well for tbe next Governor, David B. Ilill for the next United States Senator, and G rover Cleveland for the next President or the United Sates." The Eaqle continues : The Eiyle is convinced, however, that present and increasing indications show so larg a preponderance or Dem ocrat ie sentiment for Mr. Cleveland's renomlnatloo as to make it the duty of toooe Democrats who are opposed to that act to respect the manifest will of the party. To set Mr. Cleveland aside would be to disappoint the manifestly over whelming desire of the Democracy of tbe United States, so far as that desire can ba determined. '-The more I see my husband, tbe better I like my lover," sings tbe lady In tbe opera. The more the country experiences of the present administra tion the better its predecessor. Mr. Cleveland stands for the affirms tive of everything the people, in our judgment wish to reimpress on their Government. The widow of General Mulligan of the Irish brigade has been removed from the office of pension agent at Chicago, ana a political henchman from South em imnois appointed in her place. w r , xuo i,oicago uxmes says (and it is not disputed) that no pension agency was better managed, or could be, than tbe Chicago agency under Mrs. Mulligan, " Aiuiugan aiea or wounds re vived in battle, in the Shenandoah valley, leaving a young widow and three little children, daughters, and no money. The brother of Mrs. Mulligan lost bis life In the same engagement ju r p. Mumgan made her way through the lines of both armies, when boatili ties were active, and recovered the ooaies ror burial at the North. She maintained a high standard of efficiency at tbe Chicago pension office. Tbe of nee rorce says tbe Times, was likewise composed of the widows and daughters of soldiers. The Tunes says that "the women clerks will be dismissed, and incidentally the office will be made factor In thia year's campaign in Illinois. in answer to the bowl raised by tbe Republicans over the alleged disfran chisementof colored voters in the South, a writer in the New York World hn bow the leaden of that party have managed to disfranchise thousands of white voters in the North by unfair and dishonest apportionment. In the northern Slates of Connecticut, Cali fornia, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Massachusetts. Nebraska, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode IilaLd and Wisconsin, there wera east at the last congressional election 3,333, 390 Bepublicon votes, wbicb through aneqoa! apportionment elected 126 Re pubublican congressmen, an average or Lot tjTilte 26,000 votes per congressman. From the same unfair cause the 3,074, 300 democratic votes in thoee States lecttd but 47 congressmen, a rate that required an average or 65,406 votes to elect a congressman. It is time the people began to bowl about disfran chisement in the North amonr the whites. Ttik proposed new tariff bill, taxes fifth cents per tin plates two and a pound. Ballet Befora and the CeastitaUea. Some very well meaning persons in this State are inadvertently playing into the bands ofiba eoemiea of Ballot Re form by insisting that an amendment of tbe Constitution would be necessary for tbe Introduction of the Australian system into Pennsylvania. The machine politicians have already taken tbe cue, and upon this bint tbe sneaking opposi tion to Ballot Reform will doubtless be carried on in tbe next Legislature. Whether the managers of the next Re publican State Convention will boldly take high constitutional ground or endeavor to escape the question or Ballot Reform lu an unmeaning generality remains to be seen. Bat the Democrat -io State Convention cannot afford to resort to any donble-dealing oo this important issue; and is not in the least likely to do so. As has been frequently shown, there la nothing in the Constitution of Penn sylvania which prevents the adoption of the essential features of tbe Austra lian system those which require all ballots to be printed and issued by the publio authorities at public expense and the erection or booths or stalls In which voters may secretly make np their tickets without molestation. It is contended, however, that the pro vision of tbe Constitution of Pennsyl vania requiring all tickets to be num bered is destructive of tbe secret ballot, and therefore incongruous with the Australian system. Whatever may be tbe weight of this objection to tbe poli cy of tbe Constitution, it does not In volve a constitutional question. Tbe whole strength of the objection lies in the plea that tbe Australian ballot sys tem would be less effective while the provision of tbe Constitution requiring the numbering of ballots should remain in force. But the framers of tbe Constitution maintained that they were providing amply for protecting the acrecv of the ballot when they made It a misdemean or for an election officer to disclose bow any citizen bad voted. Experience bas justified this view ; for tbe instances in which tbe secrets of tbe ballot-box have been disclosed by prying officials are exceedingly rare. Ia fact, ia tbe counting ot bundiedsof votes the elecs tion officers seldom stop to compare tbe contents of tbe ballot with its number in order to identify tbe voter. Even dishonest election officers would not commit perjury and incur the risk ot imprisonment for noshing. The Constitution, for tbe further se curity of tbesuffrsge, provides that any voter msy write bis name on bis ticket if he choose. In eome modifications of tbe Australian system tbe voter Is pro hibited from disclosing the names or the eandidaies for whom be has voted. But this would be carrying tbe princi ple of tbe secret ballot to an unnecessa ry and absurd length. Th citizen has as good a right to declare for whom he bas voted as he bas to express freely bis opinions on any other subject. But the provisions of the Constitu tion as to numbering tickets and writ ing names upon them, while affording sufficient protection to tbe 'secret ballot, are salutary means of preventing as well as of exposing election frauds. They eiWe the secret records wbicb, when brought to light in any proper judicial inquiry, inevitably cause tbe detection and punishment of dishonest election officers. Iustead of being- in consistent with tbe Australian sstem or any other genuine Ballot Reform, they woaid give it increased strength. It would be more reasonable to call a convention to put these provisions into the Constitution, if not already there, than to call a convention for tbe pur pose of taking them out of it. rhila. liecvrd. JL t.Iri er Pheaenieaal Strength. There lives In tbe vii;aeeof Alexan der. Genesee county. New York, a yAung woman whose name ia Emily Harper, who possesses phenomenal strength, her weight being 110 pounds. Her powers were unknown to beiselr and nnconeiously, in performing the household work, she broke articles right and left. One day her mother cnidod her, when Emily threw ber arms around beraodgave ber a good bog. jostto show that she bore no resentful fe-lings. Upon relaxing ber grasp. Mrs. Harper fell to tbe floor with a moan of pain. An investigation disclosed that two of her ribs were broken. Her father then chided her. Anxious to justify herself, the girl rushed np to him with tbe ex clamation : "This is all I did." She placed ber arms about him and gave bim an affectionate squeeze. Mr. Har per, in speaking of tbe embrace said : "I was oace hugged by a bear in the Maine woods. 1 have wrestled back band with some pretty stroog men. but I never in my lire reoeived such a shak ing up as that girl gave me when abe showed me what sbe did to ma." Of conrs. theae two bugs made it all plain that Miee Harper bad suddenly become possessed or remarkable strength. The Best St. Fatnck's Way Yet.

Ooly Km. a bottla at Tea FlreMea Killed. Indianapolis. March 17. Tbe most terrib e calamity that bas ever be laJlen ibis eity occurred at 5 o'clock this evening during a lire in the Bowen Merrill book store, a large four story building, sitnated en Washington street, in the very heart of the city. Tbe fire bad been raging for three hours, but bad been confined to tbe building and it was supposed that as tbe walls and roof were as substantial as ever. Fire Cbier Dougherty with a number or men went to the roof or tbe burning building. Suddenly, without a moment's warn, ing. tbe west wall felt in. A man on top was seen to throw up his bands and sink into tbe seething mass of flames be low. Ilis companions made a frantic effort to escape, but tbe roof sank un dertbeir feet and all fell, struggling in v-in to reach a place of safety. Tbe joists or the upper ceiling gave wsy and three of the Bremen were caogbt on the rourth floor, wbicb also gave way under tbe enormous weight from above, catching still others and pinning them to the floor below. Tbe scene on the heap of debris im mediately after the collapse was pitia b e beyond description. Tbe limbs of men here and there were seen writhing, while tbe tronks to which tbey be longed were buried from sight. A lad der lay acrou three men and was weighted down by tons of bricks ana timber. Tbe ladder lay across tbe stomach of one man who was scream ing wttb agony. Another man with a broken arm and lwis:ed body lay next to him. As fast as willing bands could clear away tbe bricks the weight was re moved, but tbe ladder was too firmly held to yield. Tbe mn with a broken arm was dragged free and carried away. Under bim. mute but breath ing, appeared the upturned face of a poor fellow not seen before. On all sides blacked and bleediog faces, dis torted wiib sgooy, urged tbe willing workmen to redouble their efforts. Tbe debris bad fallen so that it lay with a valley-shaped surface and this made tbe available eoace for work vrry small. All tbe work of relier was tbos cartied un with great difficulty. Ooe by one tbe men nearest the surface were extricated, but as the woikers went down furiber tbey discovered new victims and tbe horror steadily grew. The forward part of the buildiog still stood and was burning fiercely and threatened every moment to fall down and bury tbe brave rescuers, but tbey gave no heed to tbe peril. On either side tbe wall towered and seemed ready to fall, but there was no time to think of them. As fast as the men at work became exhausted others stood ready and anxious to fill their places, so there was not a moment of delay in the labor or relier. Indians Who Deserve Protection. There aie about four hundred Sem inole Iodiaus in Florida who are tbe only inhabitants or the United States who have no legal existence. At the close ot tbe Seminole war in 1S42 it was generally euppoeed that the whole tribe bad been removed to Indian Territory, and tbe F-drl Government to day takes no official cognizance of tbe ex lBt-nce ot what Mr. Kirk Munroe in an Interesting paper on tbe sufjct in Scribns Magazine eal:s "A Forgotten Remnant." Mr. Mucroe bas evidently an Intimate acquaintance with tbe life ot the Florida Seminoles, and be bas very little, but good to Say ot them. Lett to their own devices iu tbe heart or tbe great Sontheru swamps they have thrived amazingly, doubled in numbers and are now somewhat advanced to tbe peaceful pths of civilization. They raise fine crops on lands tat no white man could cultivate ; they kep by themselves, and in morality comoare very favorably with the pale faces, who are now threatening to crowd them out of the region which the Seminole has male fruitful. Tbe F.orida Seminole in short is thoroughly deserving of tbe inalienable rights goaraoteed by our Constitution the possesion of Ufa and property and the pursuit of happiness and if tbey were giTeo bim be would be a better eitizo than most of tbe negroes and poor wbires of that section. President Cleveland was informed of tbe indus'rioos, peaceful ebaracter ot the Florida Seruinulrs, and declared that "as he could discover no substan tial reason for their removal rrom the country they now ocrupy, they should not be molveied during his term or office." This promise Mr. Cleveland xepc. air. Harrison cannot do better man to adopt his predecessor's policy In this instance. Tfce Government ougnt to protect this little band or aborigines, and scute to them the lacos which they now lnhabi'. Mr. iunroe says that a' tempts are being aue aireauy cy rascally land-grabbers to deprive tbe Seminoles or their bemej. We ou:ht to vary the usual practics and give tbe Rd Man a tsste of justice and honorable treaimeut. viu one or tbe very few mends or tbe I oi Ian in Congress take this matter opr Tbe Seminole lands in Florida should be made a reservation at once.
