St. I'ai i. lias been the headquarters of a movement by the United Farm ers 'a Alliance of the country, to corner the entire wheat crop of the United States. Ai.kkauy the Republicans in Ohio are are clamoring for money to carry the election and complaining that the tariff protected U'tU'lii iaiies are not coining down to 3Ir.

A CAiti.KoitAM from I'aris says that forty-nine persons wrre killed and one hundred injured by a collision lietween two excursion tiains at Fontenoy. Tlie victims were mainly women and chil dren. Some miscreant had changed the signals. Char i;s O. C. IIknnkssy, city editor of the New York Daily Xtim, has liotni indicted by the grand jury of that city for misdemeanor, in publishing an ac count of the recent electrocution at Sing Sing. This is to be a test of the new law in that state. At Cot In, in Saxony, persons who did not pay their taxes last year are punish ed in a list which hangs up in all res tauraunts andsaloonsof t lie city. Those that are on the list can get neither meat nor drink at those places under penalty of loss of license. The Treasury authorities at Washing ton have just had their attention called to the fact that it would be an easy mat ter to tunnel from a neighboring build ing into the vaults, remove the coin and ehip it to the Totomac. Seventy guards now watch the Treasury, and every pre caution has been taken to prevent rob bery. I the trial of XV. J. Elliott, editor and proprietor of the Sunday Capital at Co lumbus, Ohio, for the killing of Albert C. Osltorn, a reporter of the Sunday World and W. L. Hughes, a bystander, in a shooting affray in that city on the 23rd of February last, the jury on Tues day morning brought in a verdict of "guilty of murder in the second degree." The verdict is belived to be a compro mise one as it does not agree with either the theory of the prosecution which claimed a conviction of murder in the first d egree, or that of the defense which claimed an acquittal on the ground of eelf defense. The verdict carries with it a sentence to life imprisonment as the laws of Ohio fix that as the penalty for murder in the second degree. Sockless Jkrry SiMi-sox, the Kansas Congressman, who is now traveling in tho interests of the Farmer's Alliance in the South, in a recent interview in Geor gia said to a reporter: You may tell the folks up North that the Alliance is going into Ohio after John Sherman's scalp, and I think we are going to get it. The Alliance will supxrt the People's party in Ohio and assist in the good work of bating John Sherman. You can say, moreover, that our presence up there won't do Major McKinley any particular good. Ye are after Sherman in the first place, and we won't help McKinley any. I am going into Ohio the 1st of Octolr, and I am going to stump the state, shaking day and night against John Sherman. I will Stay in Ohio until after the election. Hex. Bkxtox McMiUi-x, of Tennes see, in a speech before the Young Men's Democratic club of Boston, said of the unprecedented profligacy of the late bil lion dollar Congress: "Beside this Con gress the extravagance of all others sinks into insignificance. A billion eight mil lion spent in two years is its record. A Bum so great thai it has to be divided up and considered in sections and by com parison to comprehend. It is ten dol lars a minute all the time since the De claration of Indoin'iidcnee was signed. It is sixty dollars for every hour since Ihe Savior was born into the world. You have heard of the prodigal son. His squandering wag nothing when com pa ml to theirs. If he could rise. from the tomb lie would blush liecause he hail i-een out-done. He would stand forth as parsimonious as Shylock when compared to these. And I apologize to the fchadow of that roor squanderer for doing hiiji the injustice to compare him to this Congress. lie squandered only his own inheritance, not that of others. Besides, ho repented, while they never did." stA i !..- ;-. v J. u:. W t --rn holders says the I'l.il.vUll'vla Jlrcord realize that exporters have put out large contracts for future delivery, and are tvideiitlv disposed to make them pay roundly for their confidence in tne U arish influence of the big crop. So much of the advancing tendency as may Ik? due to legitimate influence will do no harm. Europe will require a largely inert. iseil supply of American wheat this year, and it id natural, under such con ditions, that letter prices should ob tain in the world's markets. The American grower is entitled to all that he can get for his wheat under the stimulfa of natural competitiDii among legitimate buyers. The situation, how ever, encourages speculation, and there is considerable of this factor in the pres ent market for grain. The fitful and feverish conditions that are generated bv simulation will simply retard Uisi- ni ss and work ultimate injury to the true interests of farmers. Persons who are depending upon the necessities of inqorting countries to give jeruunent support to advancing prices in the L ni t -d States should rememler that high cost breadstuffs imports will enforce un usual economies among European con sumers, and that the after effects of an ill-timed speculation that might check exrts from this country would lie cer tain to prove disastrous. Jt would be a good thing for the gen oral business interests of the country if simulation could be kept in the back ground this season. But it will not be. If the wheat gambler can bag a present profit from the exiorter, or from any body else, the country's exchanges may t ike care of themselves. Kx-Uovernor CritTix is pronounced against the proposition to hold a consti tutional convention. He says: "I don't see what can he gained. It is only seventeen years since the present state constitution was framed, and ever since then alout every now state that was framed at least in part and some of them wholly adopted the Pennsylvania form. If those new states all prosjKT under their t,orrowed constitution why cannot the old Keystone state get along with its own. I see that Mr. Powderly has declined Governor Pattison's offer to make him one of the commissioners at the World's Fair at Chicago, for the express purpse of taking an active in terest in the proposed convention of this State. It is dillicult to ascertain how Mr. Powderly is going to tetter his con dition or that of the people he so ably represents. He must surely know that should the voters of the state decide to have a new constitution that the dele gates who will le elected will very large ly represent interostsdirectly antagonistic to those which Mr Powderly pretends to supiort. Aside from Mr. Powderly I don't know of anyone who is enthusias tic for the convention, and for the life of me I don't see what is to be gained, and it will cost the taxpayers over tl, 000,000 of their money." Protection says the Erie Herald dix-s not increase average wages. No protec tive tariff has ever been enacted that contained a solitary item for the benefit of labor. Every protective tariff ever enacted, was enacted for the sole benefit of the capitalist. The purpose as often fails as otherwise, but this has always U-en the object of protective taxes. The pottery manufacturers are protected by taxes on cojujieting products. The things they sell are protected. What have their employes to sell T Nothing but their labor. There is a tariff tax on foreign pottery, but there is no tax on foreign labor. What the employer had t sell was; pro tected. What the employe had to sell was not protected. Consequently, the employer, although he was given more protection, does not pay any more for lalor, but, on the contrary, is paying less. The working man has never re ceived any benefit from the tariff, and never will until the tariff protects him in exactly the same manner that it does his employer. He will get no benefit so long as the tariff merely protects what his employer has to sell and does not protect what he has to sell. A Wasiuxgtox correspondent writes: "Ex-Congressman Kerr, of Pennsylva nia, to whom more than any other one man is due the credit for the Democratic victory in that state last year, was in town several days ago consulting with the officials of the national association of Democratic cluts, and he brought news that warmed the cockles of Demo cratic hearts. Mr. Kerr is no rainbow chaser as his friends very well inow, therefore when he, says he thinks Penn sylvania is a doubtful state, with the odds decidedly in favor of the Demo crats it means something. He says that the financial crook ednoss of the Delama maters and the more recent bank wreck ing in Philadelphia has aroused the people as they were never aroused before against the methods originated by Quay when he was treasurer of the State, and liesides this, the new ballot law will be worth 40,000 votes to the Democratic party, Ixvause it will enable it to prevent the Republicans voting the dead men who have made up a large part of their majority for years." At the Prohibition Convention, held at Johnstown, on Saturday, some of the delegates were in favor of making no nomination for the office of Judge deem ing it bettor to "support the candidate niot farvrahl? . to the cau.e of Inhibi tion." Just who the candidate is who is iinst favorable to Prohibition was not stated but the presumption is a strong one that the Prohibitionists of Cambria county feel some assurance that one side of their bread is buttered. The farmers of Ohio will have an ex cellent opportunity this fall to express their opinion of the high tariff legislation of the Republican party, which taxes ! them for the benefit of a few protectep manufacturers, and their is little doubt that the opinion will le most emphati cally expressed at the ballot lx. at alugt Letter. Washington-. D. C. July 25, 1991. The Harrison crowd were badly stampe ded bv the publication in this corre- Sondence last week of the fact that the Blainietes had in the slang 01 tne uav got on t" their scheme of making Mr. Blaine tiKt ill, in the newspapers, to think of being a candidate next year, and denials have been the order of the day ever since, but the Blaine fellows are by no means satisfied with denials, because they have in their possession a number of Republican papers which printed Washington specials supposing them to be sent bv "Liije" Hatford's protege and therefore to be not only true but to be strictly in accordance with the sentiment of the administration, or rather its head, and thev refuse to be lieve that it is a mere coincidence that these papers are all anti-Blaine sheets They don't think the excuse that "Lige's" protege was out of town and that these anti-Blame specials were sent by a sulstitute is a satisfactory one. The oddest part of this "comedy of er rors is that these suix?r-serviceab!e liar rison men have offended the man they were trying to help and they have leen sharply lectured, by proxy, by Mr. Har rison, who however much he may fear Blaine doesn't approve of this method of disposing of him. The whole affair is furnishintr no end of amusement for Democrats. It is now stated at the State Depart ment that the arbitrators in the Behring sea controversy will shortly be appointed, an agreement having been reached be tween the department and Sir Julian rauueefote, British Minister, and the papers sent to Mr. Harrison. A gentleman from Texas, who al though prominent in that State is so modest that he doesn't wish his name mentioned, has, by a few words more or less carelessly spoken, given those in terested in the Speakership contest something to think about. He said "Ihere is considerable pressure leing brought to bear upon Gov. Hogg to per suade him to call an extra session of the legislature. He has given no intima tion of his intentions, but if he calls the extra session one of its duties will le to elect a United States Senator, and rather think 'that Representative Mills would be elected although a combina tioii of the other aspirants, among whom are the Governor and Mr. Chilton, who was promptly named by the Gov. assuc cessor to Senator Reagan, might result in his defeat" If the Legislature of Texas should meet in extra session any time before next I"cemher it is certain that some very strong Democratic influence from outside of that State would le brought to bear to get Mr. Mills elected Senator, because that would remove him from the Speakership contest, ami a numler of other gentleman are ready and willing to go into a good natured catch-as-catch-can scramble for the votes that have teen pledged to Mr. Mills for Sj)caker, which would be released by his election to the Senate. Representatives Oates, of Alabama, who is here on busiuess, loses no opior- tunity to warn the Southern Democracy of the danger which he thinks menaces it in the Farmer's Alliam-e. He said: "There are certain men who have joined hands with the Alliance simplv with a desire to advance their personal interests and pull down every man who h:ut gained any political prominence Unless the Democrats of the South come to some understanding and determine to live up to the principles of the Denv ocratic party, the Alliance, in its efforts to dominate that section may capture Alabama, Georgia and the two Caro lina's". It caused little surprise here to learn that Secretary roster will become a can didate for the Senate, in case the Re publicans elect the legislature in Ohio this year, as it has been known for some time that the administration influence would le thrown against Foraker. Tiie Spanish minister hurriedly re turned to Washington this week from Caie May where his family are now staying, and there is an unverified ru nior that there is a hitch somewhere re garding the reciprocity agreement with Spain, which for some reason Mr. Har rison has never yet made public. The usual mysterious silence is preserved at the department and the minister will say nothing further than that he was called to Washington by important bus iness. It is extremely difficult just now to find a cabinet officer in Washington they Hit in one day and out the next and ant more intent ujon having a good time than in attending to the business of the Government. Under the reorganization of the Post office department just completed the First Assistant Postmaster General will attend to many things that have been looked after by Mr. Wanamaker and that gentleman will have more time to look after his private business, in order that he may le in a position to make a large campaign contribution next year. 11ns is reform! Lightning Strikes mChnrch. On Sunday morning, while the Rev J. C. Sculler was delivering his sermon in the United Presbyterian Church, at Greenville, Pa., a sudden storm arose, and the high steeple was struck and badly shattered by a thunderbolt. There were over three hundred people in the church at the time, and a panic followed that was only quelled by the pastor and other cool heads demanding that no rush be made for the door. Many of the women screamed and fainted when the blinding flash was fol lowed by a creaking of the steeple, but, outside of several slight shocks, no one was injured. The congregation then joined in a prayer of thanksgiving for their escape. Tbe Sew Gold Field. Carsox, Nev., July 2d. Owing to the discoveries of free gold at Pine Nut, Nev., 24 miles from this city, a large number of prospectors, including many from the Comstock mines, are going into that district and rapidly surveying claims. A town site named Zirnville has been laid out, a prospector named William Zirn having discovered the district and taken out considerable gold. Hebe Halmanforman of two large mines on the Comstock lode, has returned from the scene and says the country for 10 miles square has many quartz ledge, showing free gold on the surface, and contends that the discoveries are as promising as those first made on the Comstock.

If Quav knows what he is going to da : at the Republican state convention, now only a little more than three weeks off, he ha? not told anyone. In crmeequence, there are some very uncertain candi didates for Auditor General and State Treasurer, for which the aspirants do not know whom Quay wants nominated. They do know that he can nominate the ticket he wants, whenever ne conciuue, to let the de legates know who the canai- dates are. j In the meantime, Morrison and Thompson, from the westorn part of the J state, are making a wononng canva-ss for the State Treasurership, and JUyiin has not quite decided to pull himself out of the tight for the nomination of Audi- tor General because the final kick has not been administered; Gobin and others ' . - are lxxuning Gregg for the nomination, , n- .,. uu ' . . . , granger, has put himself in the hands of his friends. A week ago it looked as if the ticket might be Gregg ami Morrisan, with the war still raging for a rallying crv. The appearance of Price in the field suggests a possible new deal all round, with Gregg to rally the soldiers and Trice to gather in the farmers. To accomplish this either Price or Gregg would have to swap his present ambition the Auditor Generalship for a nomi nation for State Treasurer, probably neither would object to doing. If Quay shall decide that it is worth while to make a campaign this year, he must gather himself together and show his hand pretty soon. At present he probably is pretty well convinced that he told Mylin the unvarnished truth when he said this didn't look like a good Rep publican year, and he is waiting for some si tm that he was mistaken in his diag nosis. The events of the past week, as 1 reflected by the revelations in State and j City Treasury affairs, have not improved j Reimblican nrospects. and the week 1 clos' with the political future entirely obscured. The Democrats will wait, of course, to see what the Republicans will do. iASt year Quay nominated a ticket against the protest of a large portion of his party and got his end of it defeated. This year he is afraid that a ticket sat:s faotory to the leaders of all factions will meet the same fate, because so many Republican officials have been shown to be derelict in the administration of their offices. It is the Republican voters of every shade of opinion that he is uncer tain'about in the present dilemma. That Wheat Corner. St. Paul, Minn., July 2o The pro moters of the great farmers' wheat cor ner in Minnesota are in a wild state of consternation over the prosiects of pro secution on the grave charge of criminal conspiracy. While a member of the lower houseof the Minnesota legislature, in lss", Ignatius Donnelly, now prsi dent of the Farmers' Alliance of this state, secured ihe passage of a constitu tional amendment, which was adopted by the jeople in the fall of lSS. It is now section thirty-live of article four, state constitution, and reads us follows: "Any combination of persons, either as individuals or as memliers or officials of any corporations to monojiolize the markets for food products in this state, or interfere with or restrict the freedom of such markets, is hereby declared to be a conspiracy and shail le punished in J such manner as the legislature may pro vide." All action taken under the now famous Muller circular comes plainly under this j law. President Donnelly admits that a line of conduct which, when pursued by the members of the Chicago ' board of trade, is a criminal conspiracy, cannot le anything less atrocions when pursued by the members of the Farmers' Alliance. The law made to catch the speculators turns up to plague the farmers themselves, and they will not make the concerted effort proposed to force the price of wheat to 1.50 ier bushel before making sales. Startling Figures. In 1S)?7 the states of the Union spent altogether tl 13,000. OOO on the public schools. The same year the army und navy combined cost the general govern ment less than $51,000,000, that, too, though there must be kept in the west a considerable force at all times in active service on account of the Indians. The reader is to remember that the 6um for public schools is spent by the states in dividually and not by the general gov ernment. Now let us turntosouie mili tary and edueatienal figures in the countries of Europe. Italy spends $'.0, 000,000 a year for the army and 4.000, 000 for education. Spain expends $100, 000,000 for the army and navy and only $1,500,000 for the education of the com ing Spanish citizen. The ordinary Spanish peasant who can read and write is the exception. Germany spends $1S3,000,000 a year for her army and $10,000,000 for sc hooling her children, though the Germans are popularly sup pos to be the best educated eople in civilization. The military of Austro Hungary costs $64,500,000 a year, while $6,250, 000 are paid for education. France spends 151,000,000 annually on her army and $21,000,000 for schools. To close, it may be remarked that the city of New York alone spends yearly over $4,000,000 on her public schools, as much as the whole Italian Nation. A Good W ay to Catch Thieves. Mi. Pleasant, Ta., July 2S. Pro prietor Simpson, of the hotel Jordan, shot a burglar who was attempting to enter the hotel dining room early this morning. The man in company with the two others, was trying to force open a door leading in the dining-room. Mrs. Simpson, the wife of the proprietor, heard a noise at the door and told her husband, who, revolver in hand, went to a window and saw two men working at the door, and another, evidently on guard, was standing in the Street. Mr. Simpson called to the men and told them to leave, emphasizing the order by a shot. By this time the two men had burst open the door and rushed in closely followed by the guard. But the latter was too slow, for just as he was entering the proprietor fired again, the bullet striking the man in the right leg, just below the hip. The guests, aroused by the shots, went to their host's assistance and held the burglars until Orlicer Beck arrived and locked them up. The wounded man will recover.
