TtiEsanie Republican papers that were
predicting the election of Delamater last
fall rn ....w strivimr to .m .tn'iUr

former efforts by predicting the election
of Ciregg and Morrison. They have
just about as much ground to base their
predictions upon this year as they had

Ex-CoNtiutssMAJJ Ma'isii of York, tin
eta ", in an interview at Washington the
other day in speaking of the Presidential
nomination, said: "Of course, if Mr.
Pattison hhould seek the nomination
and should demand the Pennsylvania
delegation at the National Convention,
he would get it and they would support
him loyally, but Cleveland is the most
popular Democrat in Pennsylvania.
My own opinion is that he is the strong
est anil in all ways the safest man we
can nominate."
Thk McKiuley tariff says the Phila
delphia Tiling means wanton, cruel
taxes on the necessaries of life without
compensation to any but , monop
olists. The Blaine reciprocity system is
neither more or less than free trade,
modified as it always must be more or
lee?, by fair trade, as the reciprocal in
terest of the treaty-making countries de
mand. If the MeKinley tariff bill shall
be sustained by the country, the Rlaine
reciprocity jo!ioy must le abandoned.
If the Blaine reciprocity shall previii!
the MeKinley tariff system must lie over
thrown. The Hon. E. C. Wheeler of Tipton
la., who has always voted the Republi
can ticket, authorized the publication in
his home paper of this announcement:

Pattison, says the Savanah (Ga.) AVira,
can be kept out of the field eif national
politics if he deciren to enter it. His
political record is a phenomenlal one.
Indeed, it h;is not a parallel in tLe poli
tical history of the country. Pennsyl
vania has a rem 11 rk able largo Republican
majority, and Philadelphia is a strong
Republican city. Governor Pattison,
however, has been elected to the otliee j
of Controller of Philadelphia, ami has j
been chosen Governor twice. He has j

f M. fS. Ouay ami Chris Ma got', says the in enough and unscrupulous enntiph to
Philadelphia Iferahf, is an attempt to
bunco the voters of Pennsylvania. -Acknowledging
that th'c candidate for Audi
tor General is all that the Republicans
claim for him, still his election at this
time w ould lie a serious blow to the State.
If elected (Jeneral (5regg will go into
olllcc under obligations to the Kepubli
can party. It is to the interest of that
party to p? event an exposure of the
methods prevailing in that otliee for
years and to hide both the rottenness
which exists there and in the .State Treas
ury. Hut what the people want is a
thorough and systematic investigation,
so that the sUte shall be purged from
corruption and Pennsylvania saved from
shame. Such an investigation would be
impossible if the cfliee is controlled by a
man under obligations to M. S. Quay.
The Kepublican fight is not to elect
CJregg and Morrison. It is for the reten
tion of the old system with all its cor
ruption and plunder. This is the issue
La-fore the voters of Pennsylvania, and
the selection of the distinguished soldier
to head the Kepublican ticket is similar
to the game of the "green goods" men
when they deceive their victims by put
ting a good note on the top of a bundle
of worthless ones.
Tiik failure of the European grain
croj-s and the consequent demand for
American cereals and naturally the large !
ftelvance in prices, have for some days
past absxirlicd the attention of our finan
ciers as well as that of the farmers, the
latter being jubilant, while the former
are in a fever of excitement, not know
ing exactly what to do. In the mcai
time the great Western crops, now al
ready harvesting, are being gathered in
and made ready for market. The prop
osition of the leaders of the Alliance
party that the farmers should hold back
their farm products, and thereby be as
sured of lietter prices, has not, as far as
is learned, been received with much
favor. The fact is, the farmers are not
as a general thing prepared to adopt the
suggestion. Their financial condition is
not such as warrant them in withhold
ing. They neeel the money too badly
for that, and no doubt the bulk of them
will take advantage of the present profit
able prices, sell and realize.
The London correspondent of the
New York Time furnishes some striking
figures in regard to the possible saving
in Eurorie by a reduction of one-half in
the military force and expenditure of the
chief Powers. He points out that "for
the past nine years alone it would have
amounted to $2,400,000,000, while
nearly 3,000,000 men in the prime of
youth would have lieen resorted to lalior
and production. Counting the value of
of their labor, not their wages merely,
at the low rate ef $1 each per day, this
would have amounted to J'.00,0l '0,000 a
W ' 1 00 ,000, 000 far the nine
years, making a total net loss to the
t t 'filil t tf i ic.Ci civ nmntrioj Ir 1 . .1 I
period of $10,500,000,000. This is
ejual to the total value, at f 1 per bush
el, of the wheat crep of the United
States for nearly twenty-five years."
Four harvests and dear breid would not
lear so heavily upon the people if they
had a nest-egg of this sie in reserve.
Thk weather crop bulletin of the
Pennsylvania State Service for the week
ended August 21st says: As compared
with the week preceding the weather of
J he past seven days has not been so
favorabl
to crops, though the tlamagfl
done has been confined to particular
localities. In York and Iancrster coun
ties the observers say that the repeated
rains have caused considerable damage
to grain stacked in the fields, and that
the early otato crop, which a month
ago promised to le very large and fine,
is almost a total failure owing to the rot
caused by frequent rains and hot sultry
wheather. In either parts of the state
the crop is reported as large and in goexl
couelition. The continuous moist, warm
weather, however, has very much im
proved corn and the crop is looking very
fine. In Waynecounty the corn is suffer
ing for rain, and the fruit and vegetables
need moisture badly.

attempt almost anything, but if my in-
m .: -m. on.t tlioro is evert- !
formation is correct, and there is every
reason to lelieve that it is, his latest
scheme is one of the most desjierate in
which he ever engaged. He once cap
tured the State of Virginia and got him
self sent to the S-nate by getting control
of the so-called re-adjuster movement in
that State, and he is now plotting to get
control of the Farmer's Alliance move
ment in that State, in order to capture
the legislature and get himself again
sent to the Senate, this time as succes
sor to Senator Daniel. The plot is all
mapped out, and the decision of the Re
publican State committee of which Ma
houe is the owner, to nominate no Re
publican candidates for the legislature
was part and parcel thereof. The word
has passed along the Republican lines
that they must support the nominations
of the Alliance for the legislature if
told to do so by their lrcal leaders, and
they are to be told to do so in every in
stance that a blind pledge-Mahonc's
name is not yet to le used can lie se
cured from the farmers candidate to vote
as they may be told for the successor to
Senator Daniel.
Harrison Republicans have never lieeu
plenty outside of the holders of the Fed
eral office, but there is now a manifest
disposition even among that class of Re
publicans to get aboard of the Elaine
train, which is believed to have lieen
given impetus enough by the semi
endorsement of the Pennsylvania State
convention to enable it to make the
trip to nomination station without any
serious ditXiculty, even should Mr. Har
rison attempt to play the part of train
wrecker by placing oltruetions on the
track, which he may or mav not do, as
circumstances may determine
All the rumors alout the coming re
tirement of Secretary Noble and Com
missioner of Pensions Raum have been
revived this week. One of the causes
for this was the statement made by Sec
retary Foster that Mr. Harrison would
return to Washington the first week in
Septemlier instead of remaining away
until the first of OctoU-r as he had orig
inally contemplated, U-cause there was
some very important business connected
with the Interior department that re
quired his personal attentiem.
The only question pending lefore the
Interior department, so far as the pub
lie knows, that might be cousideretl im
jKirtant enough to require the personal
attention of Mr. Harrison is that of com
piling the cattle kings to vacate the
Cherokee outlet, they having up to the
present time quietly ignored the orders
of Uncle Sam to get out; but the gen
eral sentiment seems to Ik that the im
portant business is naming the successor
to Secretary Noble and to Commissioner
Raum. who are two most important offi
cials connected with the Interior depart
ment. Another thing which is preiba
bly having its effect in making Mr. Har
rison change his plans, is, that he can
pull the win for securing elelegates to
the natioual convention, shoulel Rlaine
allow him to continue to think himself
a candidate, to far greater advantage in
the White House than anywhere else.

misery received from Russia are almost
incredible. In .IJessarbia parents are

may be iounu actually perisniug irom
hunger. The stewards of crown lands
and forests have been instructed to allow
the peasantry to enjoy free pasture, and
freely te gather mushrooms and gather
wild fruits in the forests and wexxls of
the state. The collection of state and
local taxes in at least twenty provinces
will fall considerably liehinel the usual
amount. Besides large sums are required
to prevent whole populations from per
ishing of starvation.
The Government authorities are ex
erting themselves, and the distribution
of relief is going on as rapidly as possi
ble. When a quantity of grain reached
Marinpol in the providence of Yekater
inoslay on Tuesday last, the Kople were
so weak with want they were hardly able
to come and get their portions. They
gathered near the place of distribution,
presenting a pitiful spectacle with their
wan faces and wasted forms. Nor is the
misery confined to the lowest class.
Among the applicants at Marinpol were
nobles and tradesmen, the latter ruined
in business though the loss of custom
on account of the famine, and the for
mer deprived of the margin between
their debts and their income on which
thej' hail dejiendcd. The prohibition of
the export of rye was none too snon if
the more frightful results of famine were
to be averted.

The thunder and lightning was awful,
the. latter doing considerable damage.
Nearly four 'thousand families were

and their cellars and kitchens are fillet!
with water and slimy mud. The busi

The Reading train moved into the sta

their waists clearing the track of lumber
and rubbish. Water on Railroad street
flowed into the lioiler house of the elec
tric light and railway jower house and
put out the fires, cutting off the current
and stopping the cars. Pavements were
torn up and bricks and stones carried
away. The Cluxtnicie otliee was also a
suffe'rer, the ground floor being flotded
and the engine and presses badly dam

known in Fottsville. The damage is
estimated at over 100,000. Reports
from Minersville, St. Clair, Port Carbon,

Bessarabia frontier guards, formerly a
mere gendarmery corps to prevent smug
gling, have grown into a permanent ad

a few hours notice. Large forts and ob
servations towers are being rapidly built,
and the Russian government has given a
heavy subsidy to the Black Sea and Dan

Another Ocean Record Broken.
The white Star line steamer Teutonic,
which arrived, at New. York on Wednes
day morning from Livtrjiool, beat the
record for western passages. Her time
from (iueenstown to the Sandy Hook
bar was five days, eighteen Lwurs and
thirty-one minutes. This is one hour
and thirty minutes faster than her sister
ship, the Majestic, on her la&t trip from
LivcTpool, which then made the fastest
westward passage up to that time. One
day the Teutonic steamed 517 miles,
which also lieats the record of speed for
a day. Following are the daily returns of
the Teutonic: August 15, 496 miles;
August 16, 505 miles; August 17, 510

completely ruining large acres of frul
trees aud vines. Hundreds of hares and
birds w-re killed, and the forest at Koller
plecken was partially uprooted. Damage
has been done to the extent of several
million.
Governor Pattison has about d welded
not to appoint a state bank examiner, an
ofliee created by the last legislature, but
for which no appropriation was made.
There are no applicants for the position,

salary for work done. The salary was
fixed at tV-oo.
A Pennsslvanla barlier has Just com
pleted a novel fishing line which occupied
five years in making, and is made entirely
of human hair of every Icolor and shade,
nicely woven together. Every time Le
operate! on the glossy locks of a female

The line, which is over lot) feet long, Is an
unusually strong one.
Lawyer II. S. Graham has been hauled
by a Wayne county possoe of farmers from
a barn In which he had hidden, being
charged with stealing two head of cattle
and selling them fortr.! to Fletcher Iion
nell. The posse turned him over to a con
stable and he was locked up. Two years
ago at court at Media ho charged a prom
inent Phlladelphiai! with alienating his
wife's affections.
MJreat Indignation has been caused by
tho elopement and marriage of Miss Mary
Sehall. the daughter of one of tho wealth
iest farmers near Marbletown, N. Y., with
a colored man in her father's employ.
Tho young lady, who has Jush entered on

AlphusC. Johnston, of Orange town
ship, Ionia county, Mich., left a largo
property In tho hands of his family and
went in the spring of 1S73. to spend a year
In Europe. He was never heard of again
until Thursday when ho came back, as
one resurrected, to find his estate probated
and divided among his heirs, much of his
land sold and the money spent and his wife
married to another man. Law suits to ob
tain possession of what was formerly his
will follow. The romance Is an interest
ing one but is Incomplete, because he won't
tell what kept him away so long.
There Las just ditl at St. Joseph's
Hospital in Chippewa Falls an eccentric
individual called Andreaus Lowca. He
was born in 1S31 lit Lower Bavaria. His
trado was a worker iu woods, which ho
learned In the piauo manufactory in Mu
nich. Perhaps no man iu the United States
has acquired like skill in renovating wood
work and restoring its iolish. About ten
years ago he built a repair shop. In which
he lived, doing bis own cooking, for he was
never married. He manufactured a beau
tiful coflin composed of different kinds of
wood, in which he slept despite tho per
suatious of intimate friends.
