The Massachusetts 1 'etniicr-atii- state Convention, last week while not instruct ing its delegates to the national (nii -tion, ailojieilt a re.-olution'ileclarintr that "the best int. rots of the party and of the country demand the nomination and election of (trover Cleveland as president and we are confident that under his leaden-hip the principles of I Vuiocrary will nirain win a trlorioits vietcry." Skc.kktahy Noiw.r: h.-i- ordered thes)e cial airentsof the ('iVverrinu-nt at (iuthrie. Okla., to warn all eattlenien. settlers, and Indians oft the Cherokee Strip. The President's orders rcirardiuil cattle On this strip will he rigidly enforced, and any cattle found there will he confiscated by the (invernnient. This order indi cates that the Jovernment contemplates a speedy open in v; of the strip to settle ment.

Senatoi; I'ai mi.i: on Monday l.y re quest, introduced a hill to amend the pension art of 17'. so that the pay ment of pensions shall commence from the discharge of the person, and that all pensions granted (Thereafter granted re sulting from injuries received during the war shall commence from the death or discharge of the person on whose ac count the pension has hoen granted, if the disability occurred prior to the dis charge. If it occurred after the dis charge the pension is then to date from the dav of eli.-abilitv. Ox Monday the I'nited States Senate, declared vacant the oilicc of executive clerk, held ly Mr. .fames 11. Young, of Pennsylvania. Mr. Young was charged with lietraying executive st en ts, hut no proof of his alleged guilt was brought forward, and. according to information Obtained from sources thoroughlv relia- ble, he was legislated out of ollice agairwt the conscientious convictions of a mini- ber of those who voted to thus stigmatize him to observe the precedent of senator ial courtesy in sustaining the committee on for. in relations, which reported in favor of declaring Mr. Young's ollice va cant. Tmk mammoth central arch of the manufacturers' building at the World's Fairgrounds in Chicago has been com pleted. This immense steel span, which has a height of 212 feet and a width at its base o..:7o fi t t. is the largest arch ever constructed for any building in the world. It can plainly lie seen fmni the centre of the city, over seven miles away. "To form some idea of its size.'' eaid the chief engineer of the World"? Fair, "if you could put the Pookery building, which is the largest of Chi cago's large buildings, on a wheelbarrow and whed it through the an h it would not touch the sides bv Several feet." Thk Nebraska gubernatorial contro versy is at Iat ended. The Supreme court has handed down a decision denying the application of John M. Thayer for a reopening of the ca.-e. The court bases its opinion on the ground that the person who set ks iio warranto proceedings to obtain posession of an cflico, held by another, must show that lie has a better title to that ollice than the incumUnt: that when Governor Thayer abandoned the ollice in favor of Governor Iloyel. he put himself in the light of a disinherited person and has no ground for action. The Supreme court justices are all Republicans. The result of the election in Rhode Island, says the Philadelphia .'oi, is a Stand-off. The Republicans retain possession of one of their strongholds, in Spite of a desperate assault on the part of the Ifc-niocrats. The Mugwumps held aloof, more than half inclined to Sympathize with the efforts of Senator Aldrieh to keep his place in the Senate. So far US Rhode Island politics rellects the larger politics of tin; country it shows that both the great parties are full of fight, and that Republican States are likely to be canied by the Republican's, and Democratic States by the Democrats. The votes of independents who some times go to one side and sometimes to the other will probably settle the ques tion of the President next fall. Ih:iuAiiii:u t!i:sM:.i. Thomas Sh kk 2y, C. S. A., retired, died at Astoria X. Y. on Sunday night. He was born at Cork, Ireland, Deeemlier 2, ISl'o, and came to the I'nited States, settling at New York in 1',2. He graduated at Gotham from the -poor man's college," the printing oilicc, and in early man hood displayed a ta-te for military life, lie participated in ihe Mexican and In dian Wars and during the Rebellion won great distinction as a soldier, command ing small bodies of men and leading them to victory in the face of a power ful opposition. In tin: Mexican war he lost his right arm. He was promoted rapidly and was finally n tired on May 11. Wo, with the full rank of Rriga.lior Genera !. , Tiik next President mii.-t be a Demo crat. Without that, says the New York M'on'il. it would be impossible to embody in law those ideas and those reforms for u-liieli I ). in, ii imc v stands taxation for ......... - . - - - the liovernment s needs, not for (lie en richment of monopolies: economical ad ministration: home rule; jitr-t govern ment and a perfectly free people. These are ideas which an overwhelm ing majority of the people desire to see written into the statute lxioks. In order that it may Ik- done the next President must he a Memocrat certain conditions must be fulfilled: 1. The National Democratic Conven tion must be left flee to select a surely winning candidate Its choice should not be hampered by instructions to dele gates. The states which cannot contrib ute any electorial votes should resolutely put aside their own preferences so far as to let the states that elect Select. l'refer- enetsand prejudices and personal parti sanship, whether for one man or anoth er, should be subordinate to the one great purpose of choosing a candidate who can win. T The candidate must be one who can surely carry New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana. The votes of those states are abundantly necessary to the election of a I eniocratie President. If the candidate can also one who has a chance of w inning electoral votes in states usually Republican, so much the better. Iut there should In- no haz arding of democratic states for the chance of winning other states from the adversary. The issues of the campaign must lie kept as simple as posssble and as free as possible from the '-fads'' of this or that faction. The platform should an tagonize the r rd. the spirit and the work of the Fifty-First Congress and of the present Administration. There is issue enough to win within that, and any attempt to add other issues will simply weaken the cause for the cam paign. -1. When the platform is made and the candidates selected every citizen. I'omocrator Independent, who desires the ovet throw of Mcl inleyism. Force bill methods, nillioii I o!Iar extravagance and corruption in administration must put aside his whims and fancies, forget his disappointments if he has any, and work and vote for the ticket for the sake of what its success will mean, even though the names upon it are not those lie preferred. These are the conditions of Demo- j era tie success this year. These are the J terms on which the reforms desired by ! all Democrats and all independents may lie wrought. If they arc loyally accept ed. The next President will be a Dem ocrat. Cotton bagging and cotton ties, says the Philadelphia Iffmlil, have also been put on the free list so far as the action ! of the Democratic House can do it. This is a proper supplement to its free ! wool bill. Why those two articles, so j essential to the cotton industrv, should 1 have their cost increased by taxation, is fine of the mysteries of tariff lx neficence. Pinder-t ine is another essential of a great agricultural indu-trv, the tax on which, on account of its unnecessary and oppressive character, might be called in scrutable in its purpose if it were not prettv well understood that it was in- tended to foster a trust. The action of the House has also designated a place for binder-twine on the. free list. One by one these McKinley roses these flowers of monojioly should be made to fade. The House is doing its duty in respect to them. If the Senate and the President shall determine that they shall bloom on, the responsibility w ill be on their shoulders. The free list with which the House has started so comnicndahly is suscepti ble of an extension that would include Several other materials more or le-s raw. It should embrace within its liberalizing limits ores for our iron and steelmakers, lumber for our builders and cabinet makers, and salt, so largely needed for various purposes. And the sweetest ac tion to the free list would lie manufai tured sugar sweet in that it would en sure cheap sugar for the ieop!e, and particularly sweet in its heading off one of the most infamous trusts, that ever attempted to plunder the public. The Dciwicratic state convention met at Harrisburg on Wednesday and in a Spirit tif harmony and with but little friction neiminate-d a state ticket. The delegates ( let ted to the Chicago conven tion were instructed for Grover Cleve land as the ehoie-e of Pennsylvania for President and to vote for his nomination a? a unit. The administration of Gov ernor Pattisoii was given the unqualified approval of the convention. The fol lowing nominations were made: For judge of the Supreme court Christian Heydrick. For Congn ss-at-large George A. Al len, Thomas P. Merritt. For electors-at-large Mortimer I". Klliott. John C. Rullitt, Thomas 1J. Ken nedy, Dav til T. Watson. Delcgates-at-large George Ross W. lT. Hensel, William Singerly, Charles Robinson, Harry Alval Hall, John L. McKinney, Grant Herring, Henry Meyer. H. 15. Pijier, of Rlair county, is the district t lector for this district and J. M. Reynolels, of lied ford, and Herman Raiimer, of Johnstown, are the National Delegates. Tin: Free Wool bill passed the lower branch of Congress, A n il 7, by a vote of I'M yeas to till nays almost strictly a party veite. Not a Republican voted for the. measure, and but two Democrats (from Wisconsin) and one Kansas, Alli ance man, voted against it. A Piui.Al.Kt.i iii v judge has rtallirme'd a well know n decision, in a case In-fore him, that workmen may striKe if they wish, but they have no right to interfere with those who are willing to work. Washiugloii Letter. Washington. 1- Aprils. W2. Harrison, Morton and "iMiodle." fur nished bv Wall Street and the protected manufactures, was the combination that j brought the present admin. stration into existence, and notice has ju.-t bei-ri served hi ii Republican aspirants to the Vice Presidential nomination, by no le.-s a personage than Vice President Morton himself, that the same combination has licen formed to run the Reptibli.Nin Na ain this year. There was a disposition sometime ago to freeze Mr. Morton oiil of the combination be cause of his unw illingness to pledge him self to raise the amount f money named by Chairman Clark.-on as neces sary to pay for his renomination, and the impnVsion was allowed to go out that Mr. Morton did not care for a re nomination. Rut since the withdrawal of Mr. 1 leine Mr. Moiton has reconsid ered the matter, and agreed to pay the price demanded, and he now naivclyan l. ounces that he will accept a renomina tion s'nonid it In: tendeied him by the Minneapi ls c invention. Speaker Crisp found it neees.-ary, pre vious to the passage of the Springer free wool bill by the House, to administer a lesson in parliamentary law and good manners to Representative P.urrows. of Michigan, who in the absence of ex Czar Reed was attempting to play this role, anil it will be a long time before the scene is forgotten by those who wit nessed it. Mr. Rurrov.s, who has a voice which has been likened to a fog horn, stood up shouting "I insist" when he was interrupted by the sharp command of tie- Speaker," the geiitle- - i - -1 1 ... t : . man Ironi .Wienigan win resume n.s scat." ne glance at the determined face of the S( aker. and Mr. Rurrows dropi- 1 i.ito his seat, looking Ike a COWeil dog. If there is any truth in the rumor that Whilelaw Reed's resignation as minis ter to France is tendered in tinier that he may be free to manipulate a new Rlaine Imniii, Mr. Reed is entitled to the champion belt as a prevaricator. He was in town for three days this week, ami he spent the most ot that time with Mr. Rlaine. and when asked alut the rumor he said: "Mr. Rlaine is not a candidate. He meant every word he saidinhis letter. I think Mr. Hairison will be renominated with very ltttle op jMisition." The Hons' Committee on Mines and Mining has made a favorable rejHirt on Representative Cammeti's bill for a new executive department of the Govern ment, lobe know n as the department of Mines and Mining, and transferring theieto the Geological Survey and the Mint. The bill also provides that all mineral lands are to Ik- sold under the direction of the new department. Senator Sherman is al-out the last man that a newsoajM r man with any Washington cxcricnee would go to in search of news having any connection with his official position, but from an other source it is learned that the Chinese- minister has in an unofficial way served notice on Senator Sherman that his government would at once .-over di plomatic relations with the I'nited States, if the Chinese exclusion bill, which has, been passed by the House, licet lines a law. Senator Sh rman is chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Af fairs. Iiefore w hich the bill now is. which accounts for his having been honored by the minister with this ultimatum. The impression here is that the min ister may as well make his arrange ments to leave, unless he can persuade Mr. Harrison to veto the bill, as it is ex pected to go through tht- Senate with a ii L.tivis jiiujority as large as it received in the llotlsy. 'The present magnetic executive," is the language in which Senator Wol cott of Colorado, referred sneeringly to Mr. Harrison in a speech em the silver n solutions of Senator Morgan, and he added to the- sting by saying that Mr. Harrison was to l-e renominated, with negative unanimity; not liecause he was the choice of any considerable body of his party, but because no man f.f great er stature had been found willing to stand. Kvitlently Senator Woleott will not be asked to take the stump for Har rison. Morton and '-boodle." Senator Morgan wants te know why the reciprocity nogotiations with Mexico failed, ami when Senator Hales's resolu tion calling for copies of all reciprocity agreements and treaties was taken up by the Senate, he- offered an amendment which was agreed to, calling for infor mation about the Mexican negotiations, and the cause- of their failure. Tie- IVmoeratie memliers of the House committee on Ways ami Means expect the House to pa.-a within the; next two weeks the bills for free; cotton tis and bagging, free- binding twine-, anil the bill reducing the duty on tin plate to one cent per jm.uikI, which was the duty before the McKinley law was enacted. The Senate has voted against striking out the clause in the Indian appropria tion hill, directing the President to de tail army officers toactas; Indian agents, when vacancies occur. m. Dead unit Las lied to the Pole. liosTox, April 12. James Haynes, a trimmer for the lloston Klcctrie.

Passers-by noticeel that Something was wrong ami the Iwxly was taken down. Ne one seemed to know whence came the current that cause-el his death. The switch was foil ml turned off, as he bail thrown it before Ix ginning his work. At that hour there should have been no current en any of the wires. The company's officers are of f,e opin ion that the trouble was eauseel by some one at the central station throwing a current over the wires carelessly and without giving proper warning. UostoX, April 12. Congressman Warin r's commission openeel the inves tigation into the swe-ating svstem of clothing manufacture to-day. W. K. Cogswell, a cutter, testified that Massa chusetts law had rectified the evil, ami that it is comparatively small in lieiston. He lielieved the remedy for the national sweat shop evil to 12, the enaction ol a national law to require that garments made under the sweating svstern to lie labeled "tenement made." W. W.

An experimental car, designed for use-in transjieirting jias se ngers to and from Chieago during the World's F air, is leing built at the Fan Handle railreiael sluiis at Columbus. The structure is that of a gemdola freight ear, but the springs anel the upjer por tion is that of a passenger coach. Should the ear prove suitable in every respect it is the intention to construct a large number of the same pattern. Just how many will le neede-el has not U-en deeideel ujion as yet. The idea iu secur ing this pattern of rolling stock is to avoid having an unusual number of pas senger coaches on hand after the great exhibition is over, for which use could not le found. With but little e.xjiense the gondola passenger coach could le converted into a simple freight ear for which there is, almost always a demand. The new car is designed to seat forty five passengers. Ite length is thirteen feH-t shorter than that of the regular coach. Au Extraordinary Feat. In ISs'.i J. G.
