If putting sugar on the free list is a

not Ik; a good thing to put every other

By a collision of the steamers Gaiii-4
bier and Easby, inside tWe port of Philip
Heads, Australia, on last Friday, twenty
fix lives were lost. Seven minutes after
the collision the Gambier went down,
Stern first, carrying with her five saloon
passengers, fifteen steerage passengers
and six of the crew. The Easby was
considerably damaged, but remained
alongside and rescued many of the other
vessel's passengers and crew.
Another large party of Hebrew re
fugees was landed at the barge office in
New York Monday from the Cunard
Steamer Etruria. They were detained
by the immigration authorities for ex
amination as to their physical and finan

niless and wune here with their families
because they had been deceived into be
lieving that they would bo welcomed
here and provided with homes by
this govei nment.
Chinese passengers to the number of
240, says the New York Sun were landed
at the Canadian port of Vancouver last
Sunday, from the steerage of a steam
ship that then arrived there, and the re

head tax imposed upon each of them.
It is a noteworthy fact that while gangs
of Chinaman are constantly arriving in
the Canadian part of the American con
tinent the Chinese population of Canada
is not increasing. The United States is
an attractive country to them.
The National Lulxr Tribune, noting
Mr. Powderly's acceptance of the Quay
nomination for lelegate-at-large to the
proposed constitutional convention,
adds rtto voice : 'The cost of a consti tu
tinal convention would Ikj probably not
less than $500,000, which is a prety
stiff figure when one considers that all
the revision of the constitution that is
necessary can be done by amendment
at small expense in the way laid dow n
by the fundamental law." Mr. Poweler
ly may blame himself if he shall liud
himself in the soup next fall.
News has Ken received ot the State
Department at Washington, that the
war in Chile is about ended by the cap
ture of Valparaiso and the overthrow of
Balmaceda, the president of the Repub
lic. There are two interpretations of the
Chilean situation as given by the friends
ami enemies, respectively, of President
Bulmaceda.
According to the claims of the friends
of the deposed president they say he was
eiected by a LiU ral party, which is com
posed of a dozen factions. It was im
possible to please all of them. The
politicians there, as in this country, triel
toxlictateto Balmaceda in his appoint
ments. The President protested, and
the hostiles in Congress having a majority-
endeavored to imDeach him. Fail-
mg in this they declared an vn revolt .
w hich occurred on January 7. Congress
has no turner there to impeach a 1 resi-
dent, but a resolution declaring Balma
ceda unseated was pa.-ed. The Consti
tution of Chile gives the President power
to make and unmake officials at will and
and without the consent of Congnss.
Balmaceda's friends say he was only ex
ercising his constitutional duty.
The enemies, however, declare that
Balmaceda, after the expiration of four
years of his term of office, became des
potic, and tried to usurp the powers of
Congress. As he could not hold the
Presidency a second time he bent all his
energies in selecting a successor w hom
he could use at will. The Revolutionists
say that Balmaceda sunk his high otliee
to a low level iu using the machinery of
the Government to further his political
ambitions.
Eliminating Russia, says the New
York Sun, Euroe will beslurt I'Cl'.OOO,
000 bushels of wheat and rye after the
outside world has sent to that country
all that can be spared. What does this
portend? Is it possible to conceive the
unutterable, misery and distress, desola
tion and death which a famine of such
proportions is likely to bring in ite
train ?
Is not Europe face to face with a state
of want such as has never threatened so
great a population since the dawn of
history.
Has men ever witnessed starvation
upon the scale which is probable as the
result of the continent's wide destruction
of en ps ?
On all the earth there is but one sul
Etitute possible for the deficient rye and
wheat; but one means of preventing,
even in part, the devastation threatened,
aud that is by the use of the American
maize should we Ikj so fortunate as to
harvest a full crop.
If there are ships enough on the ocean
to transport it, Europe will take not only
the 250,000,000, bushels of wheat which
we can squeeze out, but hundreds of
millions also of our corn. The distaste
for such food will disappear in the pres
ence of famine, and we may command
any price for our products that we have
the heart to exact.
The tariff on sugar, says the Philadel
phia Record was repealed not in order to
relieve the taxpayer, but to fasten more
firmly ujon the county the policy of
protection. Concurrently with the
abolition of the sugar tax the average of
protective duties on other necessaries of
living was raised from 49 to G7 per cent.
The tax on sugar went into the Federal
Treasury and helied to pay off public
debt. The added protective taxes, on
the contrary, never reach the Treasury.
They go into the iockets of the people
who devised them ami who elected Pres
ident Harrison in order to have them
put in shape for collection. But nearly
always some good conies out of eAil do
ing. There never was a more effective
objeet-lrsnou to show that tariff duties
are taxes than has resulted from putting
sugar on tho fiiaj Hat. People who were
paying 7 cunt a pound for granulated
sugar a year ago, ami w'no are now get
ting it for 4i cents a pound, can no
longer be bamboozled into the belief that
protection protectst the consumer. And
they will aek for the repeal of the duty
on coal, salt, wool and other thibgS of
use aud necessity, knowing that they
will reap the full benefit therefrom.
Congressman Jerry Simpson: We
are in earnest aud we think that the
people of America have been greatly
wrongeel. I go to the Republican party
and ask them for its remedy. It replies:
"rut tip the tariff." And yet you
have been putting up the tariff for thirty
two years. I asked Mr. McKinley: "If
tariffs raise wages, why is it that Great
Britain, a free trade country, pays
twice the wages protected Italy docs;
why is it that Great Britian pays double
to her wage-earners what sho paid in
1S47, when she became a free-trade
country? Why is it that Great Britian
pays her laborers one-third more than
the !alKrers receive in the protected
countries of Europe ?"
The Vesuvius iron works, says the
rittsburg Post, started on Monday with
colored puddlers who have been import
ed to take the places of white men at
lower wages. It was at the Vesuvius
works suoscripton papers were passed
around among the workers in 18SS,
w ith the assurance if they would "ante"
with liberality they would be sure of
steady work for four years as the result
of the triumph of Harrison and Protec
tion. Can't always tell about these
things; but this flash in the pan need
not deter our workingmen from coming
down handsomely for Major McKinley
He needs it.
A despatch to the EtUaftite fro m Vien
na says: "The Empressof Austria shows
symptoms of insanity. She is very ec
centric, desiring bizarre costumes in
w hich to appear in public and indulging
in other oddities. The Emperor has
called in medical experts, who have pro
nounced the case a grave one, being as
sociated with an hereditary malady.
The Duchess d' Alencon, a Bister of the
Empress, is in an insane asylum at Grate,
and the mad King of Bavaria is a cousin
of the Empre-ss."
Washiugton Letter.
Washington-. D. C. Aug. 2Sth, 1891.
Sxrctary Foster is in a fair way of earn
ing the title of the "Colonel Sellers of
the administration" from his propensi
ty to see everything in its rosiest light.
About the first of July he was telling
everyone of the great benefits which
would follow the extension of the $51.
(H0,000 of 41 per cent bonds at 2 per
cent, and how glad the national banks
would le to take all that might be sur
rendered by private parties in order that
they might increase their circulation.
Now that the extension of the bonds has
proven a frizzle, not half of them having
been presented for extension, one would
suppose that Mr. Foster would feel bad
enough to at least keep quiet. Not he.
He is, according to his own statement,
not at all disappointed over the failure
of his first large financial transaction,
hjnj? .( fof . tlfr ,.deur lieople"
th;lt $25,000,000 or f 30,000,000 to be
j)Ut iu circulation by the redemption of
these bonds and how much jrood this
increase in the circulation w ill do busi
ness circles. He reminds one of the
young physician who when asked how
he was making out in a family where he
was attending a womau in confinement,
said: "The mother is dead and the
child is dead, but I hepe to pull the
father through."
Representative Mills has gone over to
New York and it is probable that while
there he will make a little investigation
into a statement made here a few days
ago that the New York delegation was
divided in its choice for speaker as fol
lows: Crisp 16, McMillin C, Mills 1.
The statement was made by a member
of Tammany Hall, but its accuracy was
at once questioned by Mr. Mills friends,
who claim to have the best of evidence
to prove that it was wrong in every case.
Mr. Mills will go to Ohio shortly to
make speedup in the campaign.
The noble army of "ex's" is again
marching upon Washington, each and
every memlier of it anxious to get the
place which is to lo vacated by Secreta
ry IVoetor, who has leen formally noti
fied that he is to be apriosnted to serve
out the unexpired term of Mr. Edmunds
in the United Suites Senate, and those
who fail will at least have the satisfac
tien of knowing that they have tempo
rarily got out of the e.bscurity into
which they had sunk, by having their
names mentioned as ossibilities for the
vacant seat in the cabinet by the oblig
ing newspapers. If you have curiosity
to see these name's get a copy of the
hist Congressional 1 i rectory and e-heck off
the names of all the men who retired
frem Congress with the Fifty-first Con
gress, and you will have a correct list of
them. It is said that the New England
Senators have demanded of Mr. Harri
son that he shall appoint a man from
that section to the vacancy and that the
Republicans of the northwestern States
have made a like demand. Mr. Harri
son will place the appointment where it
will fetch the most votes for Harrison in
the next Republican national conven
tion, no matter who it may please er dis
please, ami the lelief here is that the
place will go to ex-Governor Cheney, of
New Hampshire, unless Gen. Alger can
le persuadetl to accept it.
Some queer steries are being told
around here of how Prof. Dyenforth is
manipulating his dynamite aud gun
penvder rain-forcer for the purpose of
getting a big appropriation from the
next Congress to pay all further experi
ments. It is said, he took advantage of
climatic conditions, which made it cer
tain that he could not fail, when he
made the recent expe riment about which
so much has been printed. It is also
said that none of the party now in Tex
as with the Professor have any faith in
the efficiency of the apparatus to pro
duce rain iu a really arid section, and
that they regnrd the whole business as a
sort of scientific humbug, which promi
ses to furnish profitable employment
for a long time, at least that is said to
be tho substance of letters that have
been received in Washington.
There is a clash of opinion between
the Interior Department and the Depart
ment of Justice. Secretary Noble holds
that notwithstanding the recent judicial
decision that the sale of lager laer in
Indian Territory was illegal, that he has
the iower, under a U. S. Statue, to pro
vent it, and has instructed the Indian
agents to se ize all found in the Territo
ry. The Attorney General holds that
the decision ff Judge Bryant of the
Eastern District of Texas is good law
until it is reversed by a higher Court,
and under that decision dealers have a
right to sell leer and to demand jwy for
jd! the beer seized by the Indian agents.

Higher tnaii tiff I.
Cimcack), Aug. 29. Chicago capital
ists are ready to build a tower at Jackson
Park 250 feet higher than the Eiffel
tower at Paris. Yesterday afternoon
their prcposition was laid before the
Wavs and Means Committee. Geo. A.
Fuller, Wm. E. Hale, and E. F. Cragin
made the proposition. These gentlemen
Said they were ready to build a tower 1,
2O0 feet high and to spend $2,000,000
in its construction. All they asked was
space at Jackson Park large enough to
accomodate the crewds that they expect
will crowd around the tower.
This offer was discussed several hours.
MeimVrs of the committee are not posi
tive that a tower is needed. They will
think about it several days and get the
opinions of the other directors. If a
tower is built, however, Chicago men
will undoubtedly be granted the jrivi
lege. -A Woman Triumphed.
Tiffin, O., Sept. 2. While Miss Anna
Slosser, an aged maiden residing on a
farm about six miles west of this city,
was engaged in her household duties,
she was confronted by a man in mask,
who presented a pistol and demanded
her money. She jerked the mask from
his face and eneleavored to wrest the
weapon from his hand. A terrible
struggle ensued, when fortunately the
woman's nephew, a nervy youngster of
12 years, came to her rescue with a
knife, which he used in a vigorous man
ner, slashing his aunt's assailant severe
ly about the nee'e and shoulders. Fi
nally he tore himse lf loose and beat a
haty retreat. Miss Slosser had a large
amount of money in the house.
Balmaceda said to be Dead.
Santiago, Chile, Sept. 2. It is re

snow.
Balmaceda would not hear of such a
thing, and struck one of the muleteers,
who shot him. Then the muleteers
shot Balmaceda's companion and robbed
the dead bodies. Balmaceda was on his
way to Buenos Ayres.

How a Ureal Mate Urows.
The completed census figures for IS'.K)
show that Pednsylvania has a total popu
lation of 5,253,014, an increase of 975,
123, or 22.77 per cent, in the decade.
It u not only the second state in the
Union in population, but it is growing
at a rate which, if mantained, will even
tually make it the first. ' New York,
which still holds first place, only added
8W.003 to its population, or at the rate
of 17.'. per cent., as against an increase
of 075,123, or 22.77 per cent for Penn
sylvania. The increase in teu years was
more than twice the total population of
the state at the taking of the first cen
sus, in 1790, when Pennsylvania was, as
now, the second state in population,
Virginia at that time ranking first.
. There is one feature of the phenomenal
growth in population in the Keystone
State that cannot fail to command mar
ked attention, and that is that the bulk
of the increase is in town and city popu
lation. In 1S.S0 there were fifty-six
loroughs and cities with a population of
4.0(H) or more and an aggregate popula
tion of 658,523. The towns and cities
of the same class have increased to
eighty-two with a population of 2,308,
007, an increase in towns of twenty-six
and in population of 710,0S4, or nearly
three-fourths of the entire increase in
the state. The country population has
grown comparatively "little; in twelve
of the agricultural counties it has de
creased, but in the towns and cities the
increase has been nearly fifty per cent.
The development of the marvelous
mineral resources of the state furnishes
tho very obvious reason for this increase
of nearly a million in ten years, and as
these resources are practically inexhaust
ible the same reason will hold good for
years to come. Pennsylvania is a great
state now, but the limit of its greatness
has not been reached and is not likely to
be for a long time yet. This is shown by
the rate of increase, which was only
21.19 per cent, from 1S00 to 1870,
21.61 per cent, during the next decade,
and 22.77 during the hist. PhiLi.

Tortured and Murdered.
Monroe, Mich., August 31. John
Wilkinson and his wife were brutally
tortured and murdered ky two tramps
on Saturday afternoon at their farm,
near here. The motive of the tranqis
was robbery. They found a couple
alone at home late in the afternnon and
demanded from Wilkinson a sum of
money which they had learned tie had
recently received.
Wilkinson refused, whereupon the
tramps set upon the farmer and his wife,
and, after beating them almost into in
insensibility, tortured them in the most
cruel manner, in the hope of extorting
from them the hiding place of their
money. Failing in this, the tramps
lecame enraged and finished their fiend
ish work by murdering the couple. Re
tribution, however, was quick, and jus
tice of the mo6t summary nature was
desalt out to the fiends.
A 10-year-old son of farmer Wilkinson
who had been in an out-house, heard
the shrieks of his mother, and gave the
alarm. The tramps fled, but were hotly
persued by a posse of citizens, who ciime
upon them near Maybee station. They
were not even given time to say their
prayers, but were shot on sight by the
infuriated citizens. Their bodies were
completely riddled with bullets.
A Fattier' AnTul Death.
New York, Aug. 29. What is evi
dently a triple murder and suicide was
discovered on the third floor of a four
story tenement in Harlem. A police
man entered the rooms and found the
dead bodies of" John Baxter, aged 30, a
painter; his wife Mary, 2S years old; the
0-year-old daughter, Kate, and the
4-year-old son John. All four bodies
lay on the floor in a pool of blood. They
had been shot in the head. Close by
the body of Baxter lay a revolver con
taining three cartridges and four empty
shells. Shote were heard by other ten
ants in the house, but no investigation
was made at the time. A policeman
found on a table in the room where the
bodies lay a letter addressed to Baxter's
mother. It was in the hand writing of
the dead man, and showed he contem
plated the murder of his family and
then suicide. No reason was given for
the terrible deed. It was evident all
four shots were instantly fatal. The
wounds showed the pistol was placed
close to the head of each victim. The
children were probably shot while
asleep. Baxter is pronounced to have
been insane, as no other motive is
known. Great excitement prevails iu
the neighborhood.
, A Daring Sank Robbery.
Kansas City, Aug. 31. A daring and
successful bank robbery took place to
day at Cordera, a small station on the
Chicago and Alton railroad, near Hig
ginsville, Lafayette county. Cordea is a
small town and the America bank, a
branch of the Higginsville bank of the
same name, is a small bank. It has
only two regular employees, a cashier
ami bookkeeper.
The bookkeeper was out on business
at 2.30 oclock this afternoon, when two
men rode up to the bank, dismounted,
walked into the bank, shut the door and
locked it before the cashier took notice
to what was going on. When he did
take notice he noticed that two revolvers
were levelled at his head. At the same
time one of the men commanded him to
throw up his hands. He obeyed. One
of the men kept him covered with a re
volver while the other went through the
bank. He secured only $090 in currency
representing the receipts of the day, and
both escaped.
Hid the 'Snag" in a Mump.
Peoria, Ills., Aug. 29. Xelllago, the
alleged wife of Lousis G. Bottenheim,
who was found in a deserted house cov
ered with bruizes and blood, says Bot
tenheim assisted in robbing a bank in
Sedalia. Mo., several years ago, when
$43,000 wasjsecured. The men hid $20,
000 under a stump, but were captured,
and the bank people recovered $23,000.
The two robbers were sent up for five
years. Bottenheim 'a partner died in
the penitentiary. Since Bottenheim has
been out he has been searching for the
$20,000, but the locality has changed so
he cannot find it. Returning from one
of these fruitless searches four days ago
he kicked and beat her nearly to death,
charging that she took the money. He
has been arrested and held.

taxes In Carnarvon township, Berks coun
ty. Is rather mixed up in his county allegi
ance. His farm lies where the three coun
ties of Berks, Lancaster and Chester join.
A part of his grain crop this year that was
grown in Chester had to be hauled through
a part of Berks and Chester in order to be
housed in his barn, which is In Lancaster.
He grows crops in three counties, but all
his fruit is In Berks. His house Is in
Berks, and in the cellar are frequently ci
der and apples from Berks, potatoes from
Lancaster and Chester, aud other root
crops from all three.
Professor Hogan. the balloonist at the
exposition grounds, at Detroit, fell from
his balloon aud was killed at 5.30 o'clock
on Friday afternoon. He had ascended to
a height of nearly a mile and was prepar
ing to cut loose with his parachute, when
he lost his hold and fell to the ground,
striking without the exposition bounda
ries. When picked up he was a shapeless
mass, mangled beyond recognition. The
catastrophe was witnessed by about 30,
000 people. Not a bone in his body es
caped breakage, and his head especially
was horribly mangled. The victim was a
brother of Hogan, who made an ascension
in Campbell's air ship in New York some
years ago and never returned.
Desirable fr Ladles.
The new fashion journals published by
A. McDowell & Co., 4 West ltth street.
New York, are again on our table. The
superiority of these journals is abundantly
shown on every page. "La Mode" is the
smallest of the three, and is intended for
family use. It has many styles for children
and Is only 1.S0 per year, or 15 cents per
copy. "La Mode de Paris" is an elegant
journal, filled with everything of the latest
style in Paris. This is a great favorite with
ladies who wish to keep posted in the new
styles as they come out. "Album des
Modes" is also a popular Parisian publica
tion, many ladies sivine it the Dreferenen.
These three monthly journals claim to give
the earliest fashions, . and thev are all
printed in Paris. They contain lessons in
practical dressmaking which are of incom
parable value and easy to understand.
' Lia Modede l'aris" and the "Album des
Modes" are each (3.50 per annum, or thir
ty-five cents foi a single copy. Samples
can be obtained from the house at single
copy prices.
