For months past criminals have loen
escaping from the Charleston (Mass.,)
State prison. An investigation hae re

had formed a trupt and to prisoners who
could raise sulTicient boodle saws and
files were furnished and their escape
connived at.
United Statks Senatoii "Geokoe
Heahst, of Cnhforuia, died at his resi

night. Senator Hearst was a Iemo

now Republican.

and was removed to the Danville asylum
on Friday la.-t. An effort is leing made
by old friends to raise a sum suilicient
" to place her beyond want.
Pkesiuknt Harkisos nominated, and
tle Senate forthwith confirmed Senator
Henry W. Blair, of New Hampshire,
Minister to China on List Friday. His
term ns Senator, ended on Wednesday.
He had la-en Senator two terms, but
failed to be re-elected. He was regard
ed as a crank in the Senate and the Re
publican party are anxious to get him
as far away us issible. As Minister to
China his sal:i ry is about $17,o00 a vear.
The jury in the trial of the Bank of
America came into Court in Philadelphia
on Friday with a verdict of guilty
against George F. Work and James 8.
Dungan for fraudulently taking and
converting the bank's fund to their own
Use. l'feffer, one of the trio on trial,
turned State's evidence. All three of
defendants will be put on trial again for
conspiracy. Senator McFarlaue, one of
the party, could not le found. It is said
he is in Rio Janeiro.

Appointed Consul at l'ara, in South
America, by President Harrison at the
beginning of his administration has liecn
recalled and Jamc-s M. Avers, of Ohio,
has been appointed in his place. Mr.
Kerbey lecane obnoxious to the people
of Tara by writing letters to pajers in
this country severely crticising the peo
ple an 1 customs of that city, and his
recall was made in deference to their
w ishes. The Senate confirmed the nom
ination of Mr. Avers on Saturday last.
We have looked in vain, says the
Wiliamsport Sun, in the Republican
death-rate bu-iff organs for the mention
of the fact that, according to Carroll D.
Wright, Commissioner of Ijibor, Amer
ican workmen rwceive from twelve cents
to $l.lt lcts ver ton in the production
of Steel rails than English laborers are
paid. According to Mr. Wright, Amer
ican workmen arc paid from $1.21 to
$l.Ci per ton and English workmen
from 1.33 to $2.54 per ton. Surely,
the "pauper labor" of England has the
best of it.
The Nceb i'ill introduced in the Sen
ate, which provide:) that all executions
of the death penalty take place hereafter
in the lK-uitentiaries instead of in the
yards of the county jails, as at present,
in the light gained from recent exja-ri-ence
has some good points to commend
it. The ollicials in the penitentiaries by
xperieuce would beconu; exj-rt innan
ting executions and could, in a great
inoisure, guard against and prevent sm.h
revolting accident as occurred at Wash
ington, in this Suite on TLuriday of last
week. The executions taking place in
the ieniuiitiarie8 would also prevent the
chairman of a political county commit
tee from taking charge of an execution
and running' it us a political circus, as
was the case in Ihia place on tho game

Mr this district and other lessor Repvtb- I P;
Vican lights had full charge of the out
side manrmejit of the hanging of
Marsh. Each tlistrit in the county was
repnx-Vd Vy the same delegate and
comnvXteemen that Hsfcally attend Re-
publknu -onventioos, while a large
crnsd of IVmwrate, Republic-ana anfi
in4oier.ilent sight seekers were on hand.
iwi11! hither by the report that there
'Would If no trottblo in getting into the
show. Chairrt.kn Barker and hishtneh-
men issued the passes and if the hang
ing of Harry Marsh does not bring a
grtt of vois for a Republican J udge
tlu's Fall, their efforts will Lave eadly
miscarried.
Of course Sheriff fcftinernao is not di
rectly responsible for turning the hang
ing of Marsh into a circus. He is, as
wo w-U know, a humane tender-hearted
gentleman and on that day looked U
the detail in the iusida of tlie jail with
the view of giving the condemned an
cvrvy comfort and of rendering hid exit
into the nest world as easy aa possible.
But he should have known that the men
who manipulated the rump-Republican
convention last year for DolamaUr,
could not even run a hanging without
turning their opportunity into a Republi
can circus. While the Sheriff with a
much Feclusion as possible was nerving
himself for a painful task that nothing
but duty could have induced him to per
form, the Chairman of the Republican
County Committee with his cohorts in
ghoulish glee, with their pockets full
of blauk passes, were on the outside re
solved to have a full tent and that not a
vote should be Vn?t for want of a corr.pli
vutitary ticket.
The Republican circus was complete
in every detail with the exception of a
street parade, which, in some " man
ner was forgotten. If the Chairman of
the Republican County Committee ac
companied by a brass band could have
Ken allowed to parade the Etreeto be
fore the execution, loading the con
demned man like aTurk with a perform
ing bear, their cup of joy would have
leen complete and it might have added
materially to the tolitical pro?pectt of
the Republican party in Cambria county
at the next election. As it was, they
farmed the execution foriall that was in
it, planted the eomplementariee without
stint, and will try to gather the harvest
in November
L. J. Seek, President of Spring Lake
Ice Company, of Toledo, Ohio, says the
Philadelphia Tivut, is a believer in a
tariff to protect all American produc
tions in general and Ohio ice in partic
ular. He had discovered that McKin
ley.'OLio niau though he was, forgot to
place a duty of two hundred per cent on
ice, and he wants the oversight remedied
at once.
Mr. Seek has addressed two petitions,
one to Congress and the other to Mr.
McKinley, setting forth the danger to
American ice from the paujer ice of
Canada. Sjeaking for hid comjiany he
says, '-We respectfully submit that if we
were protected from the competition of
cheap Canadian ice by a duty of at
least 200 jer cent., we would be in a po
sition to put more money into our busi
ness, erect larger plants, employ more
lalior at greater wages than is possible at
present. The money thus disbursed
would find its way into all other busi
ness and all would le lenefitted threby.
And w e beg leave to assure Congress that
we do not present thid petition lecause
we expect or intend to charge higher
prices in the event of the exclusion of
the cheap Canadian ice. On the contra
ry, we will then do a larger business,
erec t larger plants, store more ice and be
in a position to sell cheaper than ever."
Mr. Seek's reasons have a familiar
ring, and unless the Republicans in Con
gress, including Mr. McKinley, suspect
him of being a humorist, we do not see
how they can fail to accede to his re
quest. He is certainly orthodox in his
tariff creed.
There is more reason to-day, says the
Pittsburg 1'ost, for the apprehension that
Europe may soon be the scene of a great
conflict than there has leen since the
Germans made their own term3 at Paris
The events of the past week are of a na
ture to excite alarm. We see new men
at the head of nations that were re
strained by men who had demonstrated
their power, aud who were content in
after years to make the most of peace
and its fruits. While there is no real
cause for war, the conditions are all fav
onible for an explosion. A trilio may
precipitate a conflict. It is not reassur
ing to reflect that Europe has never en
joyed as many years of peace as the pres
ent generation has witnessed, and that
the temptation for untried rulers to dem
onstrate their capacity is very great.
Cosgkess adjourned on Wednesday
and for this blessing the country should
feel thankful. It has been the most
reckless and extravagant body that has
sat in the House since the existence of
the Government. It is too soon to cal
culate what is left, but it is almost cer
tain that the treasury is about empty
and will have to meet a deficit in the
near future. The Democrats refused to
join in the usual vote of thanks to the
sixsaker commending his fairness as a
presiding officer, and the resolution was
offered and voted fir by the Republican
membevs alone. It was a fitting and
dcseTved rebuke to the unocrupulous
l-artisanslnj) shown by Steakcr Reed in
his rullingc m Sjeakcr during his reign.

davs of the K-nsion ; but tl re is conso
lation in the fact that the r-ular ap
propriation bills will leave little time in
fitter House or Sxnate forpolitical legis
lation. The 6hip subsidy job" ia to I
railroaded through the House this even
ing, thankn to Reeils outrageous code of
Rules. When the resolution for the
consideration and calling of the previ
ous question on this Republican "job"
was reported to the House by Reed's
lieutenant, McKinley, Representative t
McMillan Iemocratic member of the j
committee on Jtules statea tnai uie
prophecy he had made in the iK-ginning
of this Congress had U-en verified. "1
stated", continned ho, that these
Rules had been adopted for four reasons:
To pa the election bill, which subject
ed the lallot box to the bayonet that
has been done: to pass the tariff bill that
would rob the people that has leen
done; to iass the direct tax bill that has
been done; to I -ass a bill placing further
taxes uion a depressed and burdened in
terior for the benefit of the shipping in
terests that is about to be done."
Mr. Mills suggested sarcastically that
the Republicans pass act of Congress by
proclamation instead of by legislation,
but he wanted them to understand that
the Democrat? would avail themselvos of
every moment of discus&iou to expose to
the American people, the wrongs w hich
were being perpetrated upon them. Mr.
Dockery mentioned the fact that up to
the present time the net increase of ap
propriations made by the present Con
gress as compared with those made by
the last Congre was $102,m0,000.
Tne Republicans could not reply, bo
they yelled 'chestnuts."
- The death of Senator Wilson, of Mary
land, which occurred suddenly from
heart disease Tuesday night, removed a
good aud conscientious legislator, who
was beloved by all. The Senate adjourn.
d Wednesday in his honor but not tie
fore Senator Spooner, who stated that
he would not be a memtier of the Senate
when a day would le set apart for eulo
gies on the dead ebuiinui, had paid a
most loving tribute to his colleague who
had entered the (senate the same day as
himself and who had served on the same
committee with him ever since. The
funeral took place here yietxrda morn
ing, after which the remains, in charge
of committees of the House and Senate,
left on a 6pecial train for Snow Hill,
Maryland, where the interment will be
made to-day.
Secretary Foster, has always leen
known as a thrifty man. Having been
confirmed by the Senate he came here at
once and yesterday took the oath of of
fice in order that his salary might begin,
although he will not take actual charge
of the Treasury department until he
Straightens up his businesa affairs in
Ohio. Although the Senators concern
ed have denied it, I have reason to be
lieve that certain Republicans tried to
get the Democratic Senators to vote
with them to reject Foster's nomination, ;
and that the Iemocrats refused, on the
ground that the President should be al
lowed to select his own cabinet officers
and tiiat no Senator was justifiable in
voting against the confirmation of such
a nomination, unless charges were made
and proven against the character of the
nominee.
Time is a good friend of the jieople,
and bis friendship whs particularly time
ly when he compelled the Senate to
abandon the bill for the guaranteeing of
100,000,l00 of the Unds of the Nicar
agua canal company. That settles the
scheme for good and all, and if the
news received here le correct it prohably
settles the canal too for some time to
come, for it is certain that the next
House w ill not par that or any other
Subsidy scheme.
It is a noticeable fact that everyone of
the Farmers Alliance Representatives-
elect that has been to Washington, and a
numlier of them are here now, favors
free trade out and out, with no ifs, ands
or buts
One of the meanest little steals ever
projtoscd to Congress is that amendment
the Senate put in the Diplomatic appro
priation bill granting a subsidy of $3,
WO, 000 to a company wliich proposes
it it gets the subsidv to lay a cable be
tween San Francisco and the Sandwich
Islands. It has now transpired that the
subsidy is considerably more than it
would cost to lay the cable and also that
another company stands ready to lay the
cable without a subsidy, if Congress will
give it tne authority to uo 6o. OrUina
nly tins would 1 suilicient to kill the
"job", but this being the last chance of
a lot of very hungry Republicans there
is no telling how they will vote.
If an extra session is escaped it will
be by as close a thave as it would be pos
sible to make, and all sorts of errors,
some of them intentional, are almost
certain to occur in bills that will be
rushed as everything will be from now
until the end
S Thanks for Read.
The Fifty-first Congress will come to
an inglorious end at noon on ednes-
day. It is understood that the Republi
cans will offer to Speaker Reed the cus
tomary vote of thanks which hitherto
has always came from the opposite par
It is the duty of every Democrat to re

deserves a deep and lasting rebuke.

make their protests so emphatic that it
will not be misunderstood. Let the re

alty for his crime to-lay. With blood
oozing from woundeia Lis neck and hide,"
inflicted by himself in a last desperate
effort to cheat the gallows, he was strapped
tola plank and carried to the scaffold.
Then ensued "a scene which imbued
thote who witned it with horror.
West was reared to his feet. He looked
dazed and made no attempt to si-aic.
The roj was adjusted around his neck,
and at 2:83 o'clock the trap was sprung
and his lody shot downward. The rope
snapped with a loud crack, and West
lay writhing on the ground. The
wound in his neck was reopened and
blotd ran from it. Blood also flowing
from a gash in his head caused by the
fall. His contortions were terrible.
Five men attempted to hold him, but
their united strength wa not sufficient
to prevent the movement of his arms and j
h-gs. His face was concealed ry tne
black cap but froth issued from his lips,
his breath came in spasmodic gasps, and
with one of his hands he tried to pull
the cap from his face.
It was only three minutes until the
broken rope was replaced about West's
neck, and less than a minute longer
until he for the second timeshot through
the trap. But the time seemed inter
minable to those who were watching.
The second fall was only a little over
two feet. Life was almost extinct al
ready and the bedy 6wung limp at the
end of the rope. Death ensued from
titrangulation.
Wet was cut down at 9:15 o'clock,
and placed in a coffin and carried to a
corridor of the court house. Later the
lody was given in charge of West's rela
tives, who hurried it out of town. They
will have a funeral at Ceuterville on Fri

WAsnixGTOs, March 2. There can be
no action at thie session with refrence to
the resolution recently adopted by the
Pennsylvania Legislature calling on the
Senators and members from that t?tate
to secure the pasoage of a resolution by
Congress directing the Secretary cf War
toldetail a board ofiengineer officers' to re
port of the fchip Canal Commission.
Such action by Congreta would necessi
tate the expenditure of money by the
War department, and would reeiuire a
ppecific appropriation in the river and
harlor bill, and that bill u only consid
ered biennially at the long 6esion. Sim
ilar resolutions recently passed by the
Ohio Legislature, with reference to the
canal from Cleveland to Portsmouth,
will also wait until the next Congress be
fore receiving attention.
Mr. Eben Brewer, the Secretary of the
Ship Canal Commission, has been here
for several days, and has canvassed the
Pennsylvania and Ohio delegations and
finels them practically unanimous in ap
proving the proposition to have the pos
sible ship canal routes to Lake Erie ex
amined by the United States engineers.
Action to that effect will undoubtedly be
taken at the next session.

Unioxtowk, Pa., March 2. Marion
Crowl, convicted a year ago of murder
in the first degree for killing Joseph Por
ter at Dunbar, was sentenced to-day by
Judge Ewing to le hanged. The Judge
said that he, with the district attorney,
would unite in a letter to the board of
rmrdons asking that the sentence of
Crowl tie commuted to life imprison
ment. The court reviewed the case, and
said he had not passed on it until the
present so he could do it uninfluenced
by the emotions or sentiments of the
hour. He urged Crowl in an impres
sive manner to prepare for the life be
yond, and not to put too much trust in
what the board of pardons do. The
judge was doubtless prompted to his sug
gestion touching commutation to im
prisonment by the fact it was shown dur
ing the trial that there is a taint of in
sanity in Crowl's family.

laws made by the state are not ohservexl,
to raise our voice because we are part of
the state. The state fi-ela a neceaalty for
hotels for the traveling public; the stat
knows that tho sale of intoxicating drink
helps the exlatance of bot"l; but the state
knows a!o tii at the sale of Intoxicating
drink has a disastrous effect upon itsc-lf.
that Is, uion the citizens who comjieiso the
states Where tht-re is hardly any travel
Ins publie: where there is nothing but lo
cal disaster to result from the sale of in
toxicatinpil(juor o ery good and patriotic
man should protest against the unacrupu
lousness aud lmposltlem. Why should
three or four lazy men, as many more
Incompetent, dawdling bondsmen, and
about a doi-n palliating signers lovers of
the poisonous cordial have a right to
speak for a whole parish of upright, de
voted eitlxens?
We will be told by these men and their
kind that we have no enterprise; that
where there is no tavern everything Is
dead, and that people who do not like the
tavern ued not frequent It. True, the
tavern stirs up signs of life, but ou second
thought, those signs grow Into great facts
of death. The state cannot hear your
plea with regard to the nature of liberty.
The state knows that liberty doe'S not con
sist of choice. Man's liberty ou earth con
sists In that Inaction which Is equivalent.
or nearly equivalent to an Impossibility of
choosing wrong. Who can calculate the
damage done to liberty by the -btskey-
seller? Who so assists man's downward
path from liberty as he? Should not the
profits accruing to the state be groat when
the damage done by strong drink Is incal
culable? Strong drink Is not an evil all
through, but its e-ontagious. death-dealing
effects should be by this time sufficiently
known to make even the most unmanly
man stir up the remnants of his Inborn
free'doni, to hurl his arguments of quicken
ened Intelligence and will against
the soul-and-body-enslaving liquor traffic,
and to consent to be taxed by the state for
the purpose of making the law against the
sale of strong drink efficacious, and of
helping decent men to"koep decent, tem
perate lnus where necessary. It Is not bad
citizenship that allows the bad execution
of the laws. It is Is Ignorance of the di
vine law; Ignorance of the relation cf the
human to the divine law, and of the obli
gation of conscience to the fulfilment of
both.
Our best peKple take no Interest In poll
tics from a mistaken Idea that It makes no
difference. It makes all the difference In
the world whether the whiskey caucus
chooses our legislators, our school direct
ors, and our road makers. If we wish to be
free, we must free ourselves. We must
know the truth and we must cast our vot
conscieuclously. Let us uproot the evils
one by one, and la the force of our renewed
ardor, let us attack our worst enemy,
strong drink, and let us as worthy citirens
of the United State-s, drive it from our
coasts only inasmuch as It Is strictly ne
cessary, s. A.
