There were from 7.000 to 10,000 people
at the Kensington meeting and three
j overflrow meetings were necessary. A
i big parade of worklngmen preceeded
the meetings. Resolutions were adopt
ed declaring that both parties had
promised to amend the tariff so as to
iemove unnecessary burdens and en
large our markets ; that the party now
in power bad. on the coutrary. proposed
to add to the burden anl restrict the

the meeting wonld be satisfied with
nothing short of free raw materials and
such general redaction of tariff as to

foreign markets, thus securing steadier
work and more comfortable living for
the workingrnen.
j TnouAiiUY the greatest political een
j sation that has ever taken place in AI
i legheny county occurred In theTwenty
j third Congressional District Republican
Convention on Tuesday. The entirely
unexpected action of the Hon. Thomas
M. IJajrie in declining the renomina
tion to Congress, after having defeated
his opponent, George SniriS, 5 to 1, tod I
the subsequent nomination of Colonel i
Vtm. A. S'one to succeed him, created
a sensation all over the county, and ru
mors of all descriptions are in circula-
I tion.
j Cotonel B lyne's action is bitterly de
nounced by many prominent Republi
cans. (i;orge Shiras, Colonel Bynj's
opponent, now claims that he is entitled
to the nomination, and threatens troub
le. In accordance with the rules of the
County Committee prominent Rapubli
cans. friends of both Shiras and Br.yne,
claim Stone's nomination Is irregular
and cannot stand. Mr. Ilayne's reason
for refusing the nomination was that
be was worn out. unable longer to
work. lie bad worked for the honor of
renomination as a vindication, had sue
ceeded and was satisfied.
TiiFrE appear to be unhappy days for
the Republicans, says the Philadelphia
Evening Herald, md the political news
of the day furnish them with anything
but cterfnl read.ng. With solid New
England troken, I'iwa Democratic, re
vil'sjn Minnesota, Nebraska and other
portions cf th AVtst, and a possibility
that Orrgon has elected a Democratic
Governor, the skies lo:k loweiing for
the p.rtj rtspousil-le for the Mc

Since they came into power the Re
pui'ieans have legislated almost exclu
sively in the interests of the wealthy
and manu'acturing c'asaes. AVith the
exception of the bait thrown ont to
farmsrs io the MrKinIfy bill, nothing
I has bi-en done to lessen tha burdens ot
the masses. Tho difference between
Republican ante-election promises and
Rpublicin performance after they re
gained control of tie Government is so
strikicg that even Republican voters
have become disgus'ed, and this feeling
is sil! growing instead of decreasing.
The Pittsburg Tmus the organ of C.
I-.. Magee, the leading Republican in
the western end of the State on Th jr
da last in an editorial on the political
situation says :

The Pottsville Miner' Journal
(Rep.,) discussing the gubernational
campaign, says Dslamater cannot be
Dominated unless lvaay forces him on
the convention, and adds: "There is
no longer any dispute as to the cbarao '
ter of the campaign which the Republi

many of the best Republicans in the

Citizens and the Censns. :
The census takers began tbeir work I
on Monday morning. It is very impor
tant that all shontd understand just
what are their rights, duties and inter ,
ests respecting the enumeration.
The first and chief otject of the cen
sus ia to ascertain the population of the
country and of the different States,
counties, cities, villages and townships.
Under a popular representative Govern
ment it is all important that the count
of the residents in all localities be full
and fair.
Any place of which the population is
understated will during ten years be de
prived of its just share ia the making
of -S:ate and Federal laws. In this re
spect it is just as important that women
and children aud aliens should be re
corded as voting citizens. It follows
that it is the duty of every one upon
whom a census enumerator calls to
make sura that his own came and those
of the members of bis bousebold are
enrolled. Care should also be taken to
report tbe names of relations and neigh
bors temporarily abeeBt from tbeir
homes. If tbe local enumerator misses
any one on his rounds, tbat official
sbonld be found and supplied with the
omitted information. Detective enu
meration is partial disfranchisement.
It is therefore the interest of every cit
izen to see tbat tbe count of his neigh
borhood is complete.
If the record of population be correct,
the rest of the censuj is of minor conse
quence. There are. however, some
questions iu the list that are the basis
of valuable statistics which contribute
to the honor of the country, and are
useful to science and industries. These
should be answered briefly and without
hesitation.
There are, however, in the list certain
novel spy questions regarding physical
ailments, debts and mortgages wblcb
many independent-minded persons will
reseut as unwarrantable intrusion into
private affairs. The publication of
these interrogatories, and tba atom) of
popular indignation tbat followed Tne
Slar s exposure ol tbeir true cnarcier,
forced tbe Census Superintendent to
instruct bis subordinates not to attempt
to punish any persons declining to an
swer them. lie did not, however, with
draw tbe unjustifiable inquiries, but re
tained tbem, backed by the declaration
that those refusing to answei might be
punished through proceedings by the
Department of Justice at Washington.
This idle threat, made to cover a reluc
tant retreat from an untenable position,
may be tafely disregarded. Any oue
who does not wish to rep'y to any of
them should avoid discussion, and sim
ply say. I decline to answer." This
applies to tbe question numbered 22
and 23, aud from 20 to 30, inclusive. It
is well to recollect these numbers, ia
order to distinguish the spy questions
from others about which there may be
in some minds hesitation to answer, but
to which it would be unwise and unsafe
to refuse to reply.
It is plain that to aid the gathering
of a proper census is a patiiotic duty
which no good citizen should neglect,
because it is conducive to the protection
of his own rights and interests as well
as to the credit of ths country and of
its States and localities. Residents not
yet naturalized have a similar interest,
stnee upon a true census will depend
the power of tb votes they will cist as
citizens of tha United States. -V. Y.

The Tariff Bill.
The change of front by the Srnate fi
nauca committee on the consideration
of the t ar.ff bill was a clear case of po
litical strategy. Oa the Republican e:de
it was a blow at the Sherman MeKinley
leadership, while oo the Dmociatic
side it showed a purpose not to heip the
conservaMve Republicans emasculate
the McKlnley bill, but If It was to be
come a law let it lake o: its most ob
noxious shape. The plan adop'ed, in
stead of confidericg tbe bill in full com
mlttee, which was becoming a debating
club, provides tbat the &iz Republican
members of the committee prepare their
own measure, whether original or th
one that came from the House, and
tbat the dye Democratic members have
the same privilege. Tbe Democratic
Senators, however, will not prepare a
bill, but present their views on the one
formulated by the Republicans. We
are glad to hear the Republican part of
the finance committte is likely to report
the McKlnley bill pretty much as it
passed the House. That makes the is
sue between tbe two parties fair and
square. Tbe debate on the bill in tbe
Senate promises to ba one of great In
tercsl. The Democrats will interpose
no factious opposition. They will thor
oughly expose tbe character of tbe bill,
aud then welcome the issue at tbe ballot-box.

Killed Her V hi'e I'rajing.
Foht Smith, Akk., June 2 Ivill
Jackson to-08T shot and killed Ida
! Dean in a manner especially cruel and
de&int. He bad been all tbe forenoon
trying to persuade the woman to come
ar.d live with him again, tbay baviug

to leave the room, when Jackson drew
a pistol fid fired, and followed the
woman up as she ran into the yard and
into a neighbor's house. riaving

tbe room to reload it, supposing tbe
woman stl'.l remained in the bouse.

Danger trout LlgUtaiag.
Tbe great danger into which many
thoughtless people rush by taking shel
ter under a large tree during tbe ap
proach of a thunder storm ia graphical
ly shown by the account iu Sature of
the ruin wrought last month by light
ning iu togUud. An old English pop
iar was shivered to pieces by the eiec
tiic ftuid. One solid piece, weighing
more than five pounds, was picked up
one hundred and twenty-aix yards away
froca the tree, aud othei small pieces
seventv yardi in an eppesite direction,
while the debris of the riven truck,
branches and bark was scattered over
two acres ot land. Soa .idea of tbe
enormous force applied m.y be gathered
froai the fact that small fragments of
the tree were driven sixty yards right
in tbe teeth of tbe wind. Every sum
mer many people stupidly perish shel
tering; daring thunder storms under
trees exposed to just such terrific ruin.
Tbe taller the tree the more likely it ia
to be struck. Oaks are most frequently
scathed by lightning. Rut when the
electric cloud is approaching all trees
should be careru) y avoided.

A Family feisoned.
Ottawa, Ont., June 2. Dead in his
bed, wilh a dying slater on either side
of him, lay little Archills Campeau, of
Lake George, a village forty miles from
Ottawa, when a neighbor woman was
attracted by feeble cries for help from
the Campeau cottage.
Another child was ro'.lirg In Lis
death agony upon tb floor, and near by
gasping and helpless lay the'r mother
and tbe aged grandfather of the little
ones, the latter relapsing i-to intensi
bility by the fearful visitat ion of torture
and daatb which be bad innocently
brought upon the unfortunate house
hold. Wbilo raising the suffering woman
from tbe floor into an easier position
tbe terrified neighbor heard her mur
mur the word "poison," and having
thus learned the cause of the fearful
situation, at once gave the a'arm. Soon
tbe settlement was astir, and a mesaen
ger was dispa'chedto Plantagentt vil
lage, six miles distant, to bring a doc
tor. The village physician. Dr. Fatty,
made all possible baste to tbe settle
ment. One little boy was dead, the
other evidently beyond bone of recovery,
vbile tbe mother, grandfather, and two
little girls and an infant but three
months old were in a desperate condi
tion. Emetics were administered, and
before he left tbe cottage. Dr Petty was
successful in saving tbe lives of three
of tbe poisoned patients, although the
others were, he feared, too far gone to
rally.
On Wednesday old man Cam;eau
went into the woods to dig some roots
to make up some medicine for a sick
horse. He gathered a lot. both of tbe
kind be wanted and of some others he
knew nothing about. Tbe latter, be
said to tbe children, who gathered
abrut bim when he returned to tbe cot
taee. "tas'ed kind of sweer." and
thinking they could do tbe little ones
no barm, be gave tbem all as much as
thev wanted. Tbe mother also took
some, and gave a little to her babv. In !
a few minutes all were taken with fear j
ful pains. 1
Tbe woman and her baby were lying 1
insensible on tbe flxr when the woman
entered. Tbe old man had fallen at j
tbe doorstep, and near the bed one little
boy was rolling around in dreadful pain, j
but when she locked in the bed she saw i
what made her heart stand still. In
the middle was the eldest boy. eged
about nine years, dead, and a sister lay
on either side of bim.
Tbe second boy has since died, and
tbe doctor says the old man and the in
fant will likely follow. It will be a
close call with tbe other three, he says,
but he has hoies tbat he can pull them
through. Tbe root which the. old rum
bad given them is known as "wild pars
nip," deadly poison.
Witnesses' Costs.
There has alwaye been considerable
trouble experienced bv witnesses, in the
matter of getting their costs in Com
monwealth, or criminal cases. The
costs falling on prosecutor or defendant
or divided between these parlies, it was
always sometime before they were paid
in and witnesses bid to wait. Some
times, when costs were divided one
parly would pay in tbeir share of costs
and thd clerk would be asked to pay out
this amouut, thus causing two pay
ment?, and this was not only a matter
of great, inconvenience to lue, clerk, but
unsatiefactory to tbe pariier. Tbe foi-.
lowing act of the legislature, passed at
'he last Session, obviates this difficulty
and doso justice to the witneses. It
contemplates the payment by the coun
ty, and is payable when taxed and cer
titled by the District Attorney. The
law reads as follows :
Section t. "Be it enacted, etc.. Tbat
the costs of prosecution securing Id every
case of misdemeanor in any ot tbe courts of
quarter session of tbe peace of this Com
monwealth shall on tbe termination of tbe
prosecution by the bill of indictment beinz
leuored by the crand jury, or by verdict of
a traverse jury and sentence of the court,
thereon De immediately chargeable to and
paid by tbe proper county : Provided, Tbat
tbe county eball be liable only for the cosla
of each witueses, as trie District Attorney,
bhall certify weie subprnaed by bis order
and were in attendance and necessary to
tbe trial of tbe case."
At the end of a suit as presented by the
above section of the acr, parties will
apply to tbe District Attorney, whose
duty it is to certify th costs to the
CommistK'ners who will issue a warrant
on the county treasurer tor the bame.
