John Bardsi.ey, Philadelphia's crook
ed city treasurer was sentenced to fifteen
years in the penitentiary and is now
serving the public in that institution.
He went to prison without telling what
became of the missing money and the
chances are that the stealings are so well
covered up that those who should be
le taking their medicine with Bardsley
may escape.
General Master Workman Powderly
has declined Governor Pattison's ap
pointment as one of the Pennsylvania
commissioners of the Worlds fair. He
says that the ottice would interfere with
his other duties, besides he does not
wish any entangling alliance with any
political party, particularly at this time,
when he is getting ready to wage ballot
reform at the constitutional convention.
Hon. Hansibal Hamlin, died at his
home in Bangor, Maine, on Saturday
July 4th, aged 82 years. He entered
public life in 183t as a Democrat and
afterwards liecame a Republican. He
was elected Vice President in 1SG0 on
the ticket with Abraham Lincoln but
was dropped at the end of Lincoln's first
term when Andrew Johnson received
the nomination. He'rwas afterwards
elected a United States Senator from
Maine closing his term in 1S75 which
ended his public career.
A meeting of Missouri and Kansas
Farmers Aliance men was held at Kan
Fas City, Mo., on Wednesday for the
purpose, of seeing how the farmers can
get the highest price for their grain this
Bummer. Movements of this nature
have been made in secret meetings all
over the country, and it is reported that
there is an immense scheme afoot to in
duce all the Alliance farmers in the
country to hold off their wheat until the
last moment and then sell at a fixed
figure much above the present market
price.
A statement prepared at the General
Land Office shows that during the last
three months of the fiscal year just
closed there were issued 27,208 agricul
tural patents and 778 mineral patents.
The number of mineral patents issued
during the entire year was 2,02S. The
Agricultural patents issued during the
last quarter of each of the last three
years are given as follows: In 18S0, 3,
45S, in 1S87, 0,000; in 1883, 20,000.
The issue during the last three months,
was, therefore, nearly equal to the
number issued during the nine quarters
as stated above.
The count of the money and bullion
in the vaults of the treasury consequent
on the transfer of the office of treasurer
from Mr. Huston to Mr. Neliecker was
concluded on Tuesday morning. It be
gan April 27, and has involved the
actual handling and couuting, piece by
piece, of iil4,51 1,582.32, of which
amount $2(5,048,000 is gold coin, and
139,902,000 silver coin. Mr. T. B.
Milliken, who represents Treasurer Ne
becker in the count, says thatevery cent
called for by the looks of the office has
been accounted for, including the silver
dollar missing from one of the bags ex
amined several weeks since, which coin
was sul)sebuently found on the floor of
the vault after other bags had lieen re
moved. The department of state at Washing
ton has received a carefully prepared es
timate made by the National Millers'
Association, of France, giving the pros
pective wheat cnis of Europe for 1811.
According to these figures France will
have a wheat deficit of 40,221,000 hec
tolitres; which will require the expendi
ture of '.'2,000,000 francs for importa
tion.' The estimated amount of foreign
wheat to be furnished Europe Is 114,
MX,000 hectolitres. The millers arc
endeavoring to create t lie " impression
that the supply is good 'in order to buy

adds in his report that all hope of relief
from South America has lieen abandon
ed, and even the Argentine Republic is
not iiM-ntioned as supplying the wheat
deficiency. All Europe is looking to

without much of a jar on candidates or j
platform. The loud talking and strong
claims of the anti-Campbell men is to
prevent the entire disintegration of their
forces. If Campbell has 500 delegates
in his favor, and there are 700 in the
convention, the problem is one of easy
adjustment. The idea of Campbell
withdrawing in the interest of harmony
is absurd. It would create discord and
bitterness instead of harmony. The
crowd from Cincinnati opposing him is
a dead weight in the party. There will
probably be nice work requisite to reach
an agreement on the silver coinage sec
tion of the platform. The free coinage
party is out in strong force headed by
ex-Congressman A. J. Warner of Mari
etta, while Congressman llarter of
Mansfield urges a more conservative
course that the party may not be em
barrassed next year by premature or
radical declarations this year. The
challenge of the Republican party in the ,
nomination of McKinley, that the bat
tle shall be fought on the tariff issue,
will lie accepted with a hurrah. In a
few weeks nothing else will be heard in
Ohio. It will submerge all other ques
tions, political, personal and factional.
The Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep.) fav
ors the importation of negroes from the
South to take the place of the Poles and
Hungarians in Pennsylvania. "Such a
change would serve several good pur
poses," it adds. "It would be a relief
to the congested black districts of the
Southern States
It would be giving the ,
work to a race already in the country,
instead of bringing undesirable races
across the ocean." Well, let the Inquir
er convince the protected operators in
coal, iron and steel that negro labor Ls
cheaper than the foreign article, and it
will be in a fair way to bring about the
change.

Kdiiur Freeman: Sir: The two Johns
"Honest" John Bardsley, the convict

is now serving a term of fifteen jears in
the Eastern penitentiary for plundering
the city and state out of millions of dol
lars, and "Pious and God-fearing" (Tl

of two milt per day. They will have j
matured guflicieatly within two weeks to ,
enable them to fly, and as it is certain
that thev will move in an easterly direc
tion, .much damage is anticipated.
The hoppers are a brownish-yellow
color and are not readily seen from pass
ing trains because of their resemblance
in color to tho soil and grass. Little
damage ha been done in the region in
fested by the hoppers because few crops
are grown there, but pasturage has been
destroyed, and the few fields of corn,
wheat and sorghum have l-een swept
clean. Every westbound train that
passes through the swarm during the
night is stopped, for in the night, when
it is cold, the rails are warm and they
cluster about the track, almost hiding
the rails from view, and when a train at
tempts to climb the upgrade near Arriba,
CoL. it is like climbing a greased pole,
the drive-wheels revolving, but sliding
helplessly upon the rails.
This vast area of grasshopi-ers is the
voting of those that were in the region
last year, and more anxiety is felt be
cause of the large increase that is certain
to le hatched there next year than from
any damage which may be done by
those about to take wings anrsault the

TAe Company More Abuse.
In anticipation of the new Act of As
sembly for the suppression of the 6tore
order system in Pennsylvania the Cambria
Iron Company at Johnstown has changed
it base, probably with little design of
changing its methods. The firm of
Wood, Morrell Jt Co. is to be supplanted
by a joint stock company, but whether
the store order abuse is to be continued
in some new guise remains to be seen.
Under its act of incorporation the
Cambria Iron Company was prohibited
from keeping store or carrying on any
.,,0;o w nwt1 with h
manufacture of iron and steel. But
this prohibition was easily evaded by
creating the firm of Wood, Morrell &
Co., a ring within a ring, whose profits
the leading managers, if not the stock
holders of the corporation, shared
among themselves.
Nowhere in Pennsylvania has the
abuse of the company-store system been
carried to such perfection as under the
Cambria Iron corporation at Johnstown
and Hollidaysburg. The system was
made so thorough that a workingman in
the employ of this corporation had no
excuse for demanding payment of wages
in cash. The pass-book and the store
order constituted the only currency with
which its employes were familiar. Not
only did the company supply them with
all the necessaries and luxuries they re
quired "at current prices," but it also
provided them with tailors and shoe
makers. In case of illness the company i
physician was called in and his fees were
paid in orders on the store. When
there was a wedding or a christening the
company clergyman performed the cere
mony. The great corporation, in its be
nevolence and paternal care of its work-
mgmen, made the most thorough pro-
..: : ai A .i . i , i . ai -
vioiou uiai mey snouiu not waste ixicir
earnings in extravagance anywhere
save at the company store. There are
instances in which other employers of
labor having no business connection
with the Cambria Iron Company give
their employes orders on the company
store, and receive a certain percentage of
rebate on paying the bills. The work
ingmen receiving the orders paid the
difference out of their wages.
The new law of Pennsylvania has
beeu carefully framed so as to put an end
to this shameful plunderof workingmen.
It is probable that this law, too, will be
Strenuously contested in tiie courts by
the corporations and other employers
keeping store, unless easy methods shall
be found for evading its provisions.
The last law on the subject was declared
null and void by the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania on the grounds that it vio
lated the right of private contract. Yet,
strange to say, the English people, from
whom we derive our common law and
wages be paid only in cash. The Eng
lish law was based on the sound principle
that contracts for payment in store
orders, like many other nefarious con
tracts, are against public policy, and
that there can 1 no parity of contract
when the workingmen must choose be
tween the acceptance of store orders to
filch his wages and loss of employment
and starvation. This is the principle
npon which the latest Pennsylvania
statute against store orders is based.

Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 12. This
morning at 1 o'clock a disastrous cave-in
occurred at the slope of the Kingston
Coal Company, near Iarkeville, five
miles from thi3 city, and the inhabitants
of that village, which is built directly
over the mine, were in great fear of their
lives and property, The cave was
caused by the snapping of the old tim
bers in the slope directly under the fan
house, where the surface sank so sudden
ly that the upward rush of air lifted the
roof off the fan house, depositing it
within 100 feet of the opening. For
hundreds of feet in all directions the sur
face is covered with large seams and
cracks, some of them a foot wide and
extending down into the workings. A
number of houses in the vicinity are
damaged. A dozen men were at work
in the mines at the time, but they all
escaped through a second opening.

make the sacrifice, but when he learned
the amount of skin needed he backed
out. Mrs. Pratt is one of the trained

crushes the fibres of the wood less than the
two other forms of nail, but by its screw
shape pusseses a much greater holdi ng pow
er than the other forms.
