The Republican party will have to co out of business for want of capital. Its leaders have locked horns on the Force till and the McKinley tariff bill, which war regarded n9 a panacea for all the V'i3 that the Government is he'.r to ia declared by Jiraes G. Blaine, to be & fraud. Tt-ere Is nothfeg left but the Moody ehlit. TnE Census Office at Washington has ordered a recouct of the population in the One Hundred and TrrJh r.nr.ccera tion Diffrict of Pennsylvania, which em braces Msuch Chunk and Carbon coun ty. In examining fne pchedule from this diptricf, the Census officials discovered over 500 duplications of names, and at once decided (hot a r court would be necessary. Camiuua county's Republican conven tion on Monday very wisely refrained from expressing any opinion In their resolutions in regard to the Force elec tion bill, upon which Senator Quay, Cameron and others on the one side and President Harrison, Senator Hoar, Ed munds, Czar Reed and others on the other, have locked horns. Cambria county's Republicans prefer to wait until the scrimmage is over and then shout with the victors. If the manufacturers who want to go Into the tin plate business cannot go into it without an additional tariff, they had better stay cut of it. The people who use tin plates are not caring wW.n' they are made at hotte or abroad au.J lQ cheaper they get them the better. liC farmers and consum ers, who pay the Uriff and get no bene fits are getting ver tired uf these mendicants who are eternally asklrg for alms. The people have no use for an industry that cannot walk on its own legs. If It be true that James McManes, of Philadelphia, intends to support Gov ernor IV.tiKon and the Democratic ticket there is likily to be a rattling among the dry bones of the Republican party of that city. Chris. Magee a paper, the Plttsbura; Timts, has a dis patch from Philadelphia saying that Mr. Mares is very sore over his failure to get his favorif-, Robert Laoghlin, apjHvot ;d ub-f reajurer, ard that be has rtactically told Gov. Pattison that he will announce himself as a supporter of his candidacy about the 2r!t of Sertenn ber. A Ti.r.nn.LE cyclone struck Wilks barre T., on Tuesday afternoon about 5 clock and left a tarck of ruin in its path that has rarely been equalled. The heavens were as black as night and the wind blew with a most frightful Telocity. Whole rows of trees were clown down. Following this hundreds of houses were unroofed, partially blown over or completely demolished, and worse than all the visitation of death was sent upon a number of people. How mauy were killed is not known at this time. Large districts in several sections of the city are in absolute ruin and women and children are in the streets crying and wringing their hands in absolute dismay. The damage will reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. At least 15 persons were killed and a iimuL luauy iujuied. The Republican Convention that met ti'te ou M. n. lay, was well attended so far as drlegaira to a Republican Con vention go to represent the party In this county, but was remarkable for the beg garly array of men who were willing to bc-com candidates. Every postmaster in the couaty had guaranteed Chairman Barker, that hla district would be represented, and trey were as good as their word, every district in the county with the exception of five, had seme patriot on band to answer at the roll call. It bad been an open secret for some time past that there would be trouble to get suitable candidates for the lead ing oSces, men with boodle to pot into a campaign have always bad the prefer ence in the Republican party in this county, but this year no patriot with boodle bobbed np of his own accord, and as the time for the convention grew near, it became painfully evident to the leaders that none could be stirred np. Hon. John M. Rose, of Johnstown, who, by a break in the Democratic ranks two years ago was elected as a Republican member of the House of Representatives from this county, and who gained some distinction in the leg islature for bis ability as a whistler, is not on the ticket. By all the usages of political parties, Mr. Rose was entitled to a second term. By all the courtesy of political gratitude Mr. Rise, owed the Republican party of this county the benefit of his services as a whistler for a second term. But Mr. Rm saw the hand writing on the wall, aaid no. and was present in the convention deter mined not to ga down with the ticker Samuel Patterson, of Barr towDShip. late census enumerator for that town ship, who has been a chronic candidate for Coanty Comas ia loner in their par ty, was fltairy adord to accept the norainatioa for Aaaraably.aod as tto run nirg mate cn'J be footd, but one can d.d-ia was nominated.

The McKinley,bill,says the Tittsburg Post, to humbug the farmers raises the duty on potatoes from 15 cents a bushel to 23. But the potato crop this year, there is scarcely a doubt, will be the greatest failure ever known. The farmers in some sections will be com pelled to buy their seed potatoes for next year, and the 25 cents a bushel du ty will be a tax on them as well as all other consumers, and especially to the great body of workmen in manufactures and mines to whom potatoes ranks after bread as the staff of life. There will be fewer potatoes this year than in 1S37, when we imported 8.250.000 bushels and the importations will be larger if the foreign market can supply the de mand. The country will take twenty millions if It can get them, for the American crop will be clean gone by winter. That being the case, bow la It a protective measure to raise the duty to 25 cents a bushel and take Dve mil lion dollarslfrom the consumers of pota toes, to be such a glorious benefit to the working people, whether on the farm Or in factories and mines ? Pat on your thinking caps, potato buyers. We exported 40.000.000 bushels of wheat last year, and Imported 1000 bnshels. The Imported wheat was pro bat: wanted for seed, or, mayhap It may have been raised la some corner of Cauada where it could not readily be old to any other customers than people of the United States. The whole tariff doty collected on this wheat was $339, the doty being 20 per cent. Now It Is proposed to raise the doty to 25 per cent., in order to make the farmers think that they are protected on a com modity of which they have an immense surplus to selt, and for which they are obliged to accept the prices paid in for eign markets for wheat raised by the ill paid laborers of Russia, India and Egypt ! We doubt if the Flathead In dians conld be fooled by the perform ance with which Republican Congress man seek to impose on the tillers of the soil in tLe United States. Senator Qiay last week offered a resolution in the Republican Senatorial caucus providing for a rote on the tariff bill on the 30th Inst., and to postpone till next December consideration of the federal election bill and other legisla tion. The Quay resolution has raised a storm in the Republican ranks that threatens to disrupt the party. Quay recognizes the fact that unless begets the tariff bill through he will bare up bill woik in raising money from the tariff beneficiaries for the election of Delamater, while the Edmunds, Hoar and Reed! element of the party want the the Force bill passed in the hope that the Republican party may do their own counting and keep themselves In power. There will be great competition be tween the Republican Congressional conferees from Blair and Bedford coun ties. There is a plumb In the pudding for one, and one only. Fruit is awful scarce this year. Bold Train Robbers. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. IS. The safe of the Pacific Express company was roboed of S'JO.OOO by train robbers on the Missouri Pacific railroad yeatert day morning. The train which was the Kansas City limited express No. 3, left Tipton, Mo,, at about 3 A. V. Two mysterious figures were seen by the en gineer lurking aroond the forward end of the train, but no particular attention was paid to them. Just after leaving Tipton the fireman turned toward the tender to nre op the engine and looked squarely into the muzzle of two revolv ers in the bands of two masked men, who were lying en their faces on the top of the coal. One of the bandits covered the fireman with bis revolver, while the other took care of the engin eer. They were told to bold op their bands and the engineer ordered to run the train to Otterville water tank in "Robber's cut," just east of Otterville. When "Robber's cut1 was reached the engineer was commanded to go to the express car and tell the messenger to open the door. He did so under the threat of death if be should falL When he reached the express car be found the two robbers had fiva confederates sta tioned at convenient places about the car, all heavily armed and their faces concealed behind masks. He walked to the door of the express car and called to the express messenger, Sam Avery, to open the door. Avery suspecting no danger, poshed back the door. As be did so the leader of the robbers and one confederate pushed their revolvers in and ordered the messenger to bold np bis bands. The order was promptly obeyed and three of the robbers jumped Into the car. Avery was commanded to open the safe, and at the point of a revolver did so. One of the robbers unfolded a sack and into it were placed the entire contents cf the safe. The robbers then made their escape without attempting to molest the passengers. The engineer polled the train into Ottervll e, a half mile dtant. wbere a part of the crew were left to arouse the herlff and trn ze a posse to pursue the robbrra. The newaof the robbery waa a'so tgrsphed to the headquar ter at St, Law is and all the available detective force of the road was sent to "Rubbers Cat." The sheriff's poas and the detectives are now scouring the country for the robbers. The exact amonat of money and va'oablee stolen cannot ba learned, bat tt is understood the money la the safe aggregated about 75,(w. mostly ia paper money, and that the other valuable property amount ad to about 15,0u0. The rob beta are nnkaowa. A Light la tae West. It la becoming more evident each day that the Reed policy of tariffs and Force bills does not salt the Republicanism of the toending West. A policy which may btt congenial enough to the frosty Blue Noses down East Is too chilly for the warm temperaments of the Western people. The Topeka CupttaZ, official organ of the Republicans of Kansas, congratulates". Senators Plamb and Ingalls "for their independence and their consideration of the interests of the people on the tariff question." It declares that it can see in the McKtn ley bill "no tffort to revise the tariff for the benefit or consumers." TbeOhama Jite (Republican) expresses the hope that the Senators of Kansas and Neb raska will manfully persist in their re volt against the McKinley bill for the good of the people. The Bee declares that "the West insists that the tariff shall be revised downward, and not up ward." It warns the Republicans in Congress that "this is the only policy by which the party can retain its power." Evidence of this kind might be mul tiplied to show that the Republicans of the West have assumed an attitude of hostility towsrd the measures of the Reeds and McKinleys wblcb may well give pause to wise politicians. While denouncing the McKinley bill as a fraud upon the farmers, leading Repub lican newspapers of the West maintain an ominous silence in regard to the Force bill. As in the East, this scheme or Coercion with Corruption meets with no favor, except from thorough-paced partisans who may be expected to ap prove or anything bearing the party laoel. Those who have eyes to see can discern that in the West a great light Is breaking which promises before long to spread over the entire country. The day for politics and politicians of the regulation machine-made pattern is well-nigh over. rhila. Eecord Indiana. Washington, D. C, August 17. Con greesman Bynum. or Indiaoa, in dis cussing the situation in that State, says: "TLe danger to the Democracy of Indiana is overconfidence. President Harrison is personally interested in car rying the State. Should the Republi cans win, bis renominatlen becomes a necessity.

Helle rr latti&en. At tbe annual harvest borne picnic of the Union county farmers held at Lewis eorg on Friday, Charles S. Wo!f-, tbe great independent Republican leader of 1SS2, boldly declared for Pattison In a leegtby speech, in which be said : "Fear years ago Mr. Hulings, a form er Republican member of tbe House from Venango county, in tbe Republi can State Convention offered a resolu tion pledging the party to the simple enforcement of tbe anli-diecrimination provision of tbe constitution. Tbe con vention lefused to adopt the resolution, thereby showing the'r complete sut j ac tion to the railroad power. Six weeks after the close of the last session of tbe Legislature, after a Revenue bill bad passed both nooses that gave very sub stantial relief to tbe farmers, tbe Gov ernor of tbe Commonwealth happened to discover that It lacked tbe signature of tbe President of the Senate, and therefore could not become a law. "With bis knowledge of the way in which things are done at Uarrisburg, be was quite sure it was no accident. Jasi what official or officials were re sponsible, be could not say ; bot be was quite sure that it was tbe fault of a Republican official and done at the dies tation of bigh and unscrupulous power. "When Mr. Pattison was Governor be had tbe courage to obtain an Injunc tion against tbe Pennsylvania Railroad in its purpose to buy np and absorb the South Penn Road. Us had the courage to take by tbe throat tbe freight pool and coal combination. Tbey were un able to face the proceedings pending sgalnst them in the Courts. Their only escapa was to elect a Governor who would discontinue tbe litigation. He would like to ask Governor Beaver what bad become of tboee anils ? "In all bis f fflcial acts Governor Pat tison bad the honesty and tbe courage to st ana by the hoodwinked' and op pressed farmer against tha chicaner v and airogant oppression of corporate power, and thereby bad incurred their bitter boatility. The Republican lead era have been tbe especial guardians of the corporate interests, and while pro fessing to have very great concern for tbe farmer bave been doping bim and feeding bim on bosks." Ia eon elusion be challenged aay one present to staoJ op and refute any state ment be bad made. What be bad said was true, and be would be glad to meet Mr. 0,uay or Mr. Delamater or any other Kepobliean and diseass with bim, before tbe voters of Pennsylvania, tbe question of the complete domination of the Republican party of Pennsylvan ia bv corporate power. Tbe very beat evldende of their real attitude towards the farmer is the fact that tbe Republican jxty has been in power in Pennsylvania all these years, and such has been the relief tbe farmer has bad at their bands, be said, that the farmer and taxpayer would show bis wisdom and political sagacity, not by voting for any man simply because he waa a candidate tf bis poiitlaal party but because be was the candidate who was moet likely to honestly aid in ress cuing bim from injustice and oppres sion and securing to bim bis equal rights before tbe law, and that any farmer that had not tbe sense to do this ought to suffer. Ballet Helena. The burning question of the present political canvass in this Stake ia that of bollot reform. A perfect!? secret bal lot is the beginning of every political reform. Without it tbe ruling re(jimet which ia naturally and necesserily con st ryative of the laws, just or unjust, wise or otherwise, under which it is able to bold sway and of which it Is in great part tbe creature, must always bave the vantage ground in popular elections, for it can easily outbid its opponents in tbe vote market and out bulldose them in the control of timid voters. The Republican machine in Ibis State is against any genuine reformation of tbe election laws, because it lives and moves and has its being In the present code. The last thing in the world those who control it desire is a perfect ly secret ballot. They are thoroughly aware that if tbey could no longer ply their schemes of bribery and intimidat tion the machine wonld go to pieces. Hence, whice pretending to favor some sort of ballot reform. In order to placate those of their own party who desire a sacret ballot, tbey bave no inte ntion of adopting anything like the Australian system, or of permitting any such sys tem to be adopted, if tbey can prevent it. The people ef Pennsylvania who hope for such a revision of the election laws as will secure a perfectly secret ballot aud so make bribery and intimidation of voters impossible, must look to the democracy for its accomplishment. If tbe Democrats or tbe State bad no higher motive than simply the seenring of fair play at elections, wbicb is now very largely denied them, they should be trusted rather than their oponenta whose interest lies in the maintenance or tbe present election system. Bat Democrats everywhere favor tbe Aus tralian ballot law. In Rhode Island, New Jersey. Tennessee, Kentucky and Indiana they bave put it upon tbe statue-book. On tbe contrary the Res publicans of our own Legislature treat ed with, eontempt tbe proposition to adopt if. This issue should be made in every senatorial and representative dis trict and candidates for seals In either branch of the Legislators oCt to be Interrogated as tn thair atiin.u t gard to it. Now is the time for the people to move If tbey mean to get bal lot reform from tbe next Legislature. The Hammelh Care Surpassed. A dispatch from Normandy, Tenn., says : "There is intense excitement at this place over tbe discovery Tuesday of a cava that, so far. seems to surpass toe aaacamoiu cave in size and grand ner. Tuesday morning, as a party of gentlemen were inspecting the country two and one-balf miles southeast from this place, and directly between here and Tullaboma, they accidentally dis covered the entrance. Previously there bad been heavy rains and tbe people bad been awakened a few nights before by a rambling sound in tbe earth. Tbe mouth of the cave seems to bave be come exposed by a slide of dirt ana rocks from the side of tbe bill. Tbe party entered the cave and walked a good distance by tbe light from tbe mouth, which Is about S feet in height 12 In width. Tbey having no light to go fnrtber, returned to Normandy, got lanterns, and then went back to tbe cave, arriving there about 5 o'elock in the afternoon. They walked in what seemed to be a direct line all night, bnt foand no end. There was a small creek running through tha cave from north east to southwest. The walls were very bigh and seemed to be smooth, except here and there stalactites hung from tbe roof to tbe floor. The distance traveled could not bave been short of twenty miles. Retracing their steps, they ar rived at the mouth at 4 o'clock Wtdnes day afternoon. They say there seemed to be no end to the cave. Iq some places tbe passage is hundreds of feet wide. As the mouth of this cave lies at tbe foot of what is known as the ta ble lands or barrens it Is believed it ex tends under tbe whole table land.
