N. Stevens, chairman of the House
"Railroad committee, disappeared with
the bill providing for the taxation of
the railroads of the State- The bill bad
passed the senate, and by common
conseot It was to pass the house. It
waa too late to pass another bill, but
a certified copy was passed and sent to
the Governor.
The Hoase Committee on Agricul
ture, decided on Monday last to report
a bill transferring the Signal Service
from the War Department to the De
partment of Agriculture. The very
unsatisfactory weather that we have been
having for the past year Is reason
enough for a change and if the Depart
ment of Agriculture can furnish better
we onght to have It. The country at
large will await with anxious expectan
cy a few samples of weather sent out
by the Department of Agr'culture.
The people want a change.
In any Nation on the globe says the
Chicago 7crM, except the United
States the carnival of robbery now In
progress In Washington and so vividly
depicted by Congressman Carlisle in a
recent interview would produce a mon
etary panic and a civil war. It is evi
dent that the annual expenditures of the
Government are to be more than
doubled, that the surplus is to be
turned into a deficit, and tbAt tariff and
other taxation, which has already
brought the farmer to bankruptcy and
taggary, is to be greatlv increased and
extended.
Amuno the impediments with which
tue& Victoria started from London,
on her continental tour on Monday may
be mentioned three coachmen, nine
grooms, eight horses, one donkey, three

wine, two doctors, one surgeon ac
coucheur for the Princess Bsitrlce,
three ladies In waiting, nine women
servants, one lord, two eqoeries,' and
seven dogs. Her msjesty was in an
naCJ0"" gracious mood and on the
Dover boil sailed sweetly on Trince
Battenburg, cow completely restored
to royal favor.
Ex Si-eaker Carlisle said in
"Washington on Tuesday, that he did
not think the Democratic members of
the committee would take up much
time in discussing the provisions of the
tariff bill. The Mills bill wil! be pro
posed as a substitute, and the report
prepared on that basis. After that the
two bills will be reported to the House
and the discussion will begin as soon
as the reports are printed. The length
of time that will be rrqulred to discuss
the measure is a mere matter of conjec
ture, but the general opinion Is that it
will take six weeks or two months to
get the bill oai, of the House.
TnR llltsbnrg Chronicle-Ttlegraph
of Tuesday last, has a four column ar
ticle, giving a history of the manner lu
which the Cambria county Republican
Convention, held In January last, was
raptured and the delegates instructed
to vote for DrUmater as the choice of
Cambria county Republicans for Gov
ernor. The article is too long to re
publish, but the following editorial
from the same paper is a fair Indica
tion that the nomination of Delamater,
as the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor by the methods adopted by Quay
and his ring will not be submitted to
by tbe rank and file in the party with
out a protest. The Chronicle TtU
ljajiVa editorial is headed "Tbe Cam
bria Steal" and la as follows :
Wa publish to-day the result of tbe Ins
vtstlgatlon of a representative of the Chron
icle-Telegraph Into tbe noanaer In which tbe
Cambria county delegates were obtained
for O. Wallace Delamater.
Tbe story of Cambria Is a story of fiaad,
deception, corruption and shame.
It is a glowing and striking example of
tbe methods adopted by that arch manipu
lator. W. n. Andrews, Chairman of the
Republican State Committee, to bring
about tbe nomination of bis StandarJ Oil
candidate.
Such methods as tboee employed by
Andrews and his accomplices in Cambria
aod elsewhere are as startling as th ey are
criminal and demoralizing.
In a county which cast almost 4,000 votes
for ire Republican candidate for State
Treasurer last November, not one legal
vote anJ less than 75 Illegal votes were cast
two months later at tbe primaries !
Tbe Primary Election Act of 1881 was
trampled Into tbe mud by Mr. Andrews aod
his agents. The exposure of to-day will be
followed by statements In detail as to each
election district In Cambria county.
These statements are backed np by
sworn evidence, and we defy tbe men who
are charged with wrong dolna to disprove
these charges.
Never before In the history of politics In
Pennsylvania has a consistent and reputa
ble Republican paper bad such an unpleas
ant duty to perform as has the Chronicle
TelenrapK In this Instance.
This paper does not believe In wholesale
bribery, theft and corruption In politics and
Is not to be deterred from publishing tbe
truth and as near tbe whole truth as It can
obtain in regard to Andrews, Delamater and
the leaser political highwaymen.
While tbe Chronicle-Telegraph will con
tinae to oppose tbe nomination of a man
who nsws sneh base methods aa does Dela
mater It will heartily support for Governor
any good Republican nominated by tbe
usual honest methods by the Republicans
of Pennsylvania.
A recent number of the Eaihcay
Ajt says, tbe common sense reform of
cambering the twenty-four boors of
the day continuously and abolishing
tbe confasio? affixes a. m. and r. m. is
gaining headway. Tbe special com
mittee of tbe American socie'y or civil
engineers appointed to carry on this
movement has made another report,
showing that "absolute and substantial
progress" baa been made In tbe direc
tion of securing tbe general adoption of
the twenty four hour notation by the
railways of tbe country. In response
to a circular issued to railway coat) seers
and other officers, asking their views as
to the feasibility and desirability of the
use of the new notation by the railways,
the committee announces tbe receipt of
237 replies, of which 220 were favorable
and 17 unfavorable. Io rep'y to the
question aa to the year in which it was
thought that tbe change might be ef
fected, 59 named the year 1?90. C8
named 1891, and 27 named 1392. while
30 gave no date. The Committee con
aiders this to Indicate that a majority
ity is in favor or the change taking ef
fect by 1S91. Including some whose
opinions have previously been obtained,
tbe committee reports 384 officials con
nected with railways agiegating fully
135.000 miles of line are io favor of ihe
simultaneous adoption of the 24 nota
tion on the railways of America. Most,
if not all, of the railway and engineer
ing publications also favor the reform.
Good Democrats, the country over,
must admiie ex-President Cleveland's
devotion to the cause of Tariff Reform.
His letters on the sut ject are full of
logic and as clear as crystal as witness
the following read it tbe first anniver
sary of the Indiana Tariff Rerorm
League :
"The Democrat party, tbe party of tbe
people, opposed to selfish schemes which
Ignore the public good, and pledged' to tbe
Interests of all tbelr countrymen Instead of
tbe furtherance of tbe interests of tbe few
who seek to pervert govermental powers
for tbeir enrichment, waa never nearer to
Its fundamental principles than was It In
its contests for Tariff Reform. It eertalnlv
adds to the satisfaction with which we labor
In this cause to be assured tnat In our ef
foils we not only serve our party, but all
the people of the Hod."
The recent "tariff hearings" of the
Ways and Means Committee, bear Mr.
Cleveland out in all be sajs. Any rea
sonable man can plainly see. that there
is no iimit to monopolistic greed.
Tiik Montana steal is to come up in
the Senaie to-day (Thursday). The res
suit is, of couise, already determined.
The majority report, declaring that tbe
Republican applicants for admission.
Messrs. Saunders and Fowers, are en
titled to their seats, wlil be adopted.
The minority report, io favor of Magin
nls and Clark, will be rejected. Tarty
lines have been drawn so close on tbe
question that, In yiew of othet pressing
matters to come before the Senate,
there is no prospect of auy considerable
delay in reaching this conclusion, tbe
Gual result being predetermined.
Tbe Democrats will simply content
themselves with developing the means
by which tbe will of the people, as plainly
expressed at the polls io Montana, was
suppressed by the returns accepted by
the Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections as legal.

WA5IHNGTON March 22. One of
the most singular twists in the tariff
muddle has just developed. It is stated
on authority that cannot be questioned
that the report of the McKinley Com
mittee on tbe Tariff bill, which was
premised some days ago. ard which is
to-n'gbt said to be delayed until "the
latter pari of nexi week," has been
postponed for a more potential reason
than tbe mere question of difference aa
to details prevailing among tbe Repub
lican statesmen who bays been engaged
in its preparation.
It is asserted that tbe bill, both in its
omissions and commissions, runs point
blank against an administrative wall of
opposition. In otber words, it will
meet tbe direct opposition of the Preti
dent and the most influential members
of his Cabinet.
When the Pan-Americn States were
gathered under tbe motherly folds of
the United States Government there
were but two matters that the Pan
Americans were Interested in. One
was sugars, the other bides. These
articles embodied tbe trade substantial
ly between the United Slates and tbe
countries represented. The sugar
question has trailed off Into some defile
which leayes nobody satisfied.
Tbe hide question has assumed a
phase which ought be characterized as
almost alarming. There is scarcely one
of tbe c"untius which was in
vited oy the United States into confer
ence upon tbe establishment of more
iutimate commercial relations between
themselves aod tbe United S'.ates which
did not number raw hides among its
chief exports to this country. From
most of tbe South and Central Amerl
can States tbe exports of bides to tbe
United States exceed in value all other
of such exported products put together.
The nextlin value was sugar.
The Pan Americao delegates were
led to expect that in return tor conces
sions expected of ttem in regard to tbe
remission of tbeir duties on American
products imported into tbeir own
countries their sugar would be made
free, just as tbe sogsr is tnat is raised
in the Hawaiac islands aud imported
into San Francisco. They are inclined
to think that tbe word of promise has
been kept only to tbe ear in regard to
sugar In respect to hides tbe proposed
attitude of tbe United States simply
suggests a deliberately intended insult.
From tbe earliest times bides in their
raw s'ate have been introduced duty
free Into tbe United Slates. The pro
position now made in tbe McKinley
bill to impote a cu'y on them is resent
ed aa an affront to friendly powers spe
cially invited by the United Slates, to
participate in a conference to determine
upon some method of joint action in
regard to tbeir commercial relatious. of
course. Implied tbe liberalizing of their
tariff laws. The first step proposed by
the Power which thus invited tbem into
conference has been the imposition of a
tax upon one of the chief raw miterials
which they Import into this country.
One of tbe Pan Americans familiar
with European diplomacy stated to day
that in a conference of European
powers such a proposition so proposed,
unless promptly disavowed by the Gov
ernment, would oe regarded as a suffix
cieut cause for the withdrawal of all
the invited members from tbe confer
ence. Aside from tbe international feature
of this proposition there are local con
siderations which are raising a faiious
storm of opposition. Tbe shoe and
leather business of the country has been
based on the free importation of the
raw material. All the snoemakeis of
Massachusetts are op in arms. Tbe
New England men are beginning all
round to orwR their eyes oo the tariff
question. Quite a number of leading
H-'pabilcans, as heretofore stated in
Ibi-su dispatches, are In favor of free
raw material for th New England
iron trade.
A Cyclone's Iwtul Work.
Coluxbia. S. C, March 23. Por
tions ot ibis S.ate were swept by a ter
rific storm yesterday, entailing loss of
li'e and great damage to property. The
fury of the cyclone was principally felt
in th city of Sumter, where peop'e will
talk of the storm for years. Clouds
shrouded every hing !n darkness ;
every bouse was shik-o to its fouodas
tion ;roor were caired whirling awaj ;
fences were demolished ; trees uproot
ed and the streets swept clear of signs,
and a I this in a minule acd amid a din
tr.at was awful.
Id Richaidson was kilTeJ by a fall
ing boose ; two men. wbose names are
ULknown, were fatally irjurrd. acd
many persons were badly bruised and
cut. Matbiessen'a machinery d-pot was
demolished, and two large sberts of the
At'ani Coast line Kailn al were
blown down, while tLe Uapt ist. Church,
the jail and a factory are btd'y dam
aged and many smaller buildings are
wrecks.
The bridge over Broad river, on the
Spartanburg, Union and Columbia
Railrral, a; Sbelton, was blown off the
piera Into tbe river and completely de
molished. An unknown man standing
on tbe bridge was carried with it. Ia
Chester county tbe toroado did greas
damage. Several small villages are
badly wrecked. At Edgemore the As
sociate fkeferm Presbyterian Chuich
and tbe railroad depot were blown
down. At Bsckstock the academy
buildings were destroyed and several
children are reported fa'ally iujured.
In Orengeturg county nunv houses
were unroored. In this city the im
mense ventilating roof of tbe Siate
Penitentiary was torn from its position
aod thrown a poo a wooden building, a
score of convicts narrowly escaping
death.
It Is reported that the town of Tios
peiltybas been swept away, but, the
wires being down, nothing can be
learned. Torn and IwU'ed trees mark
the path of tbe storm, acd it is feared
that unto'd damage has been done. A
special from Cam Jen to-night stas
that the cyclone struck a house there,
killing Mrs. Essterling. who was in the
act of giving Medicine to br step
daughter. Tbe bed the sick chi'd was
on was torn to pieces, while the child,
though thrown out in tbe yard, escaped
without the slightest injury.
VI hat After Bismarck!
The consequences of Bismarck's re
tirement from public affairs are natural
exhibitions of uncertainty and distruet
that extend beyond tne limits of Ger
many. Tbe participation of the Emperor in
a council ot Generals immediately after
the selection of his new Chancellor is
taken, rightly or wrongly, to signify a
reliance upon military men. Austria
seems to be disquieted, and French ex
tremists are already crying out that
another war is at baud.
It would be premature and unjust to
conclude that these natural manifesta
tions ot restlessness import any serious
disturbances of the European situation.
Bibmarck will be greatly missed, of
couise. The withdrawal of so promi
cent a figuie from public affairs neces
sarily leaves a gap that wt:i take long
to fill. But the results of his disap
pearance from tbe political arena may
not be manifested immediately or even
in the very near futuie. Ciprlvi, the
new German Chancellor of Italian
name and lineage, ia reputed to be a
man of resource, tact and self-restraint,
and he may be able to curb tbe restive
and adventurous tpirit of bis Imperii)
master until the storm following the
new Premier's accttisiou tLali have

Cincinnati. ().. March 24. The
biggest thing in Cincinnati to-night is
tbe Otno river, and It is getting bigger
every moment. Slowly but surely it is
covering tbe bottoms, and tbe muddy
waters covers tbe floor of tbe Grand
Ontral depot like a yellow blanket.
N trairs are coming ioto it low and
freight and ptsseogers must hunt far
away stations and out of the way places.
The Cork Street Sarface road has been
compelled to s'op, and the Twenty fifth

while further back tbe basements are

Every express cart and transfer wagon
in the city is employed.
To add to the confusion thousands of

of the serions possibilities. The new

M ill Quay Explain ?
The glad news comes that Q lay is
coming home. He has been a little
slew, to be sure, in meeting the charges
of the New York World, but now that
he will return fresh anl vigorous from
his Florida holiday, it is hardly to be
doubted that he will give bs immediate
attention to the scandalum m?na'am.
and makes bis defameis eat thair words
with aijeet apologies, or pass over
enough dollars by way of a libel suit to
vindicate hisbonorsnd clear his skirts
of th accusations which have teen so
publicly brought against him. It ia
hardly to be supposed that any man
let alone Quay, who is ikely made of
heroic stuff woo'd submit to be leaded
with whole chapters and columns of
shocking charges and shameful revela
tions and not resent it to tbe utter
mst extent of the law, and to tbe
outermost edge of bis political i,flu-nc?.
It stands to reason, aDd borran nature,
and the proprieties that Mr. Quay
should take immediate measures to de
fend bis character, mike his innocence
clear as the noordsy, t nd "break his
enemies to pieces like a potter's veese!.
But says one of his frien-ls. "Q-jy will
do nothi: g of the sort. He was t rcught
np its a good rhris'ian. and as such be
has been instructed to love bis enemies
to do good to those that despitefully
use him that when anyone saiitrS him
on one cheek he sbnu'd turn the other
a so. This may all comn about as a
result of early piety, but it is not the
teaching of the ?olitlcl school, and he
conld not sff rd to do it. Moreover,
loving his enemies dies not fit, in with
his ways and manners, and conver
sions under pressure ate always suspic
ion!. There ii a good deal of virtus in
keeping mum at times, but this issue
most le met since silence would give
ihs verdict of guilty in trumpet tones.
Pennsylvania is a grand olj State and
cannot afford to be represented by men
wboe hoiies'v. veracity nd characer
can besrioas!y quostKmed. The tales
told miy be old stories, but if they are
trne, something most b done about It.
Mr. Quay for his own honor cannot
allow himself to be held up to public
phnme, and jet do nothing in drfer.s or
denial. All . good people are anxins
that his record miy be shown to be pure
acd unsullied, and also to see tbe
ecanflal-mongers. who circulated the
dreadful s'ories to the contrary, put to
confusion and lawfully punikhed.
Therefore, for his own credit, for tbe
honor of the S ate be repfesnts. acd
for the dignity ot the United States, he
should be fol y vindicated and relieved
frouj the load of ignominy that has
been fc"ped upon him. Pittzburg Lend
