The municipal election heldin Bos
ton on Tuesday proved another land
slide In favor of the Democrats. Last
year the Republican candidate for My

this year Nathan Matthews, Jr., the

13 000 plurality. This seems to be a
bad year for the g. o. p.
In the House at Washington, on
Tuesday consideration was resumed of
the Swnate resolution looking to the re

was defeated by a standing vote of 55
yeas to 113 nays, and by a call of the

TnE McKmley act, says the Chicago

glass. All of the manufactories from

the price of window glass five per cent.
This is another exemplification of how
protection for a few favored monopo
lists results in the robbery of many.

For twenty years Congress has per
mitted the pension agents at Washing
ton to dictate the pension leg
Islatiou of the country. During this
time the flock of pension cormorants
baa reveled in the plunder of the pub
lic Treasury and of the soldier. At
last It Is discovered, when the extreme
limit of profligate legislation has been
reached, that the pension agents are of
little ess as Intermediaries, and that
the applicants for pensions can have
their claims adjusted as rapidly, if not
more so, by diiect communication with
the Government.
The State department at Harris
burg, has been notifying all corpors
ations chartered in other S'.ates or
countries, doing business in this State
to comply with the provisions of the
Constitution by designating to the de
partment their officers r.ni agents. A
latge nurrber have complied, but a
great many, especially foreign Insur
ance companies, have pail no atten
tion to the nqutst, thereby subjecting
their representatives in this State to a
fine of f 1,000 and imprisonment. It is
the intention of the department to lay
a list of delinquents before the At
torney General for bis official action.
The defiant attitude of the Presi
dent and tbe Republican majority in
Congress, in respect to tbe Tariff and
th Force bill, says the Detroit Free
I'ress, constitutes one of the most re
markable exhibitions ever witnessed in
acy country enjoying any form of con
stitutional or popular government. It
cannot be believed that in a Govern
ment of the people, for the people, by
the people, the governing power will
accept with meekness this defiant as
sault on their rights by a repudiated
aud condemued paity. The wicked
may triumph for a season, but the day
of reckoning will surely come, the Re
publican party will And itself. If possi

Grandfather Hoar of the ancient
Bouibon rcstime, aiys the P.ttaburg
Post, is not having afternoon tea suc
cess with the force and fraud till that
he counted on. Ilia move to take a
vote on the bill next Friday discloses
the fact there are 25 Democratic S?na
tors who desire to be heard on it ; and
as the honorable Sanators rarely treat
themselves to more than one st speech
a daj, here Is work mapped lout for a
monlb. Senator Iloar, therefore, de
s'ues a conferecce of his fellow Repub
licans to engineer measures to force a
vote and see how many can be relied on
to stand by finch a drastic policy which
means not only fixing a time for a vote,
but the adoption of Speaker Reed's
patent gag process to bring the Senate
to a vote on this essential preliminary.
In a hundred years this has not been
dore in the Senate. This may well
give pause to conservative Senators on
the Republican side.
A further element of discord was in
troduced yesterday (Tuesday), on the
Republican side by Mr. Plumb, of Kan-,
s as introducing a free silver bill, and
giving notice that if the force bill was
not disposed of at an early day he would
move to lay it aside and proceed to the
consideration of measures relating to
the financial condition of the country.
This is in line with the speech made by
Mr. Gorman of Maryland on Monday,
which caused a flutter on the Republi
can side.
If the issue Is joined between a free
silver coinage bill and the force and
fraud bill, the latter will go b? the
boards, as it did last session. There is
a strong majority in the Sanate for a
free coinage bill, and it is backed by a
tremendous popular sentiment; an over
whelming one in the West and Soath
and with the Farmers' Alliance. No
body is calling for the force. bill. To
press it cow would be like galvanizing
a corpse.
On Friday morning of last week, the
banking house of Ddlamater & Co., of
Meadville, Pa.. Instead of opening out
for business posted up a card announc
ing their suspension. The firm was
composed of G. B. Delamater, and two
sons one of whom, George Wallace
Dalamater, was the lata Republican
candidate for Governor : The cn
nouncement created intens9 excitement
in that I'lace. aa nearly every business
house in the town is affected. The
failure is a bad one and it is attributed
to various causes. George W. Delama
ter '3 .campaign for the nomination and
election as Governor is said to have
cost him I ?00,000. He also sunk S90,
000 in the Philadelphia Finance com
pany and American Life Insurance
companj, under the management cf
Senator Macfarland, who disappeared
after the American Life went to
pieces. These were the primary causes
of the failure while the financial strin
gency precipitated it. Toe assignees
cn Monday gave out a partial state
ment of the banks affairs and place the
liabilities at 1544,700 and the uaaetts at
5472,549,72. Among the liabilities are
$100,000 of State funds deposited by
State Treasurer Boyer and 43,000 be
longing to Crawford county, deposited
by the Countv Treasurer of that coun
ty. The State will lose nothing as the
bond of the State Treasurer secures the
payment to the State but It will prove
a heavy loss to the State Treasurer, as
some estimates say the assets will not
pay ten cents on the dollar. Certifi
cates of deposit on the wrecked bank
were offered at Msadville, on Monday
for 25 cents on the dollar without
takers.
Representative Mills' suggestion
of an income tax says the New York
World to meet the impending deficien
cies in the revenues of the Government
is likely to find considerable support in
the next Congress.
The World has long advocated a
graduated tax upon large incomes as the
most juat tax." It is paid by those who
are able to pay and who have something
to pay with. A farmer whose land and
buildings are worth $10,000 is often
hard pressed for money with which to
pay State and local taxes. A maa with
an income of $10,000 or more can al
ways make provisions for $50 ar $10Q
without serious sacrifice.
Though the need for more revenve is
certain to come as the result of Repub
lican recklessness, no party would ven
ture to restore the duties upon tea and
coffee. The taxes upon the necessa
ries of the people, such as clothing,
food, fuel and shelter should be reduced
rather increased. Where is the new
revenue to come from, except from the
new taxes ? And what tax is at once
so just and so likely to commend itself
to the Farmer's Alliance and the other
fresh forces io politics as a tax on the
large incomes of the rich ?
When a reckless appropriation means
a new and a direct tax Governmental
extragance will be resisted. I is the
indirectness of the exactions which has
cairied the annual budget up to more
than 5400.000.000.

Chester's MorJer Mysterj.
The supposed suicide of rretty Em
ma ro'tZftruaycr, of Chester, Pa., af-tc-r
returning gay'.y from a dar.ee last
Thursday morning, will probably be
proved to be a ghastly murder. Her
throat was cut in several places and ber
handsome ball dress was spattered with
blood.
An inquest was held Friday morn
ing, at which the dead girl's sister.
Mrs Schmidt, testified that Emma went
t3 the ball at S o'clock with ber brother,
and witness followed a 9. Emma was
cheerful all the evening, and upon Mrs.
Schmidt's rfquest went home at 11
o'clock to inquire after a child. They
left the hall finally about 1.30 A. M.,
Emma preceeding the witness some ten
minutes. When the witness ariived
home she asked ber husband about Em
ma, and was told she was up stairs.
Going to Emaaa'a room witness called,
and, receiving no reply, went to her
own room, where a dim light was burn
ing, and saw ber sister lying on the
floor. At first she supposed Emma was
sick with cramps, to which she was
subject, but on approaching saw a knife,
and, realizing' the lru:h screamed.
Her husband went to the top of the
stairs, led ber down, and both left the
bousa to seek a doctor.
Dr. Graham, the first physiclaa to
see the body, said it was evident that
Emma did not kill hersell and that she
was not killed while standing up, aa
there was no blood on the top of the
bureau, which there should bare been
from such a wound bad she stood.
He could not reconcile the pools of
blood with the position of the body.
Dr. For wood said there were six
wounds, only one of which caused
death. The deep thrust io the back of
the neck could not have been self
inflicted with the knife found. There
was a great bruise on one leg above tie
knee. It would take a fairly strong
man in sood health to inflict such
wounds.
He does not believe that the knife
found could have made the wounds, as
it does not fit them. He does not be
lieve she killed herself. He saw marks
on the doors, as though they had been
grasped bv bloody bands.
One theory is that some one went
home with her the last time she left the
ball, followed her np stairs and killed
her, bet the motive has not yet been
developed.
Another theory of those working on
the case is that Emma was murdered by
Mrs. Schmidt after a jealous quarrel.
The body was found in the latter's
room. Yesterday a bunch of hair was
found In the same room, and Emma's
undershirt, with a clean cut across the
back, has also teen found. It Is
thought that after returning from the
ball Emma and Schmidt entered the
room and that while they were there
the wife caught them in a compromis
ing position. Enraged with jealous
fury, she is supposed to have plunged
the knife iato the guilty girl's neck
with terrible effect. After the mur
der, the theory runs, the husband and
wife procured the dull, blunt cheese
knife, and after smearing it with blood,
placed it near the body in order io
make it appear as though the girl had
taken ber own life.
It is expected that the Schmidts
will be formally taken into custody
snd that the evidence now in the
handa of the authorities will be made
public at tte Coroner's it quest, which
wiil be called In a uy or two.
Some Necessary Legislation.
If the United States Senate, instead
of chaffering over the force bill, would
devote its time to the immediate con
sideration of needed financial legisla
tion it wonid do much to allay the
present disquiet in business circles.
Senator Sherman's proposition to allow
national banks to issue notes equal in
amount to the par value of boi.ds de
posited as security therefor, under
proper restrictions, is a measure of just
ice as well aa relief.
The proposition to issue $100,000,000
of 2 per cent, bonds, redeemable at the
pleasure of the Government, to be sold
for lawful money or coin certificates,
the proceeds to be applied to the re-
demition or purchase of outstanding
bonds, U also a measure worth consid
eration which would be likely in its
operation to facilitate the payment of
the public debt and furnish a more lib
eral basis for banking. It is apparent,
as Secretary Windom has pointed oat.
that the inelasticity of the system of
currency issues in the shape of Govern'
ment notes and certificates must al
ways prove an Impediment to business,
The Government cannot with either
safety or convenience accommodate its
financial action to the fluctuations of
trade. A partnership la politics and
finance is full of danger to both.

Tke Alliance in Federal l'elitics.
It may eem unfeeling to add to lh
uahappiness of Republican bretherir
who are worried about the possible po
tency of the Farmers' Alliance io the
next Presidential campaign ; but j re
alistic and political duty imposes that
task. The vote at 0:a!a against the
Fraul and Force Election bill has been
followed, not only by general Republi
can denunciation ot the Farmers' move
ment as a tender to the National Da
mocracy, but by an evident effort to
ferment jealousies and dissensions
within the soil-tillers' convention itseir.
Yet it is questionable whether tbn

it tbp Alliance snonid coia its
strength and Uke pirt in the Presiden
tial contest as a third party, there
would be a probability, too 6trong to bf
over locked, that the new force would
carry some Spates, prevent the choice ol
President and Vice President by an ab
solute m j jrity of the Electoral College,
aod throw the election into Congress.
In the event ot such effect of third
party action, what woald be the condi
tion to be faced ? Ia the Fifty second
House ot Representatives the demo
crata will have a majority of tbe dele
gations in thirty Use states. Under
the third clause of tbe first section of
the second article of tbe Constitution
aod the twelfth amendment, "in "choos
ing the President the vote shall be
taken by States, tbe representation
from each State having one vote."
Tbe Inevitable result of third party
success In preventing a choice by an
abeolute majority of the Electoral Cols
lege of 1S92 would, therefore, be tbt
election of a Democratic President.
No wonder that the Administration
organs and beuebmen are sorely
troubled over tbe growth of the Alliance,
which has won its most Important vie
tories in States heretofore Republican.
No wonder that there Is consternation
among the plotters for partisan ap
portionment and a packed Electora'
College, Beyond the certainty that
any considerable degree of Alliance sue
cess would cause the election of a Dem
ocratic President by the Ffty-second
House, there is a fair probability that
tbe spread of tbe new movement might
defeat tbe choice of a Republican Vice
President by the Senate. Not even that
probably inconst qeuntial consolation
would be then left to tbe Floater Fun
ders as the outcome of a tripartite cam
paign. The circumstances above con
sidered are also commended to tbe at

statesmen who are in any wav inclined
to "view with alarm" the growth of

it would be better for tbe country that

to represent tbe district in the Fifty-

Murray a receipt for tbe package con
taining the notice of contest and the
allegations on which it is based. These
allegations arn IC3 in number, and
charge that Mr. Scuil's election was
secured through fraud, corruption and

his lawyers to push bis contest General
