K.HKXSKl'RO. CAMBKIA CO., PA. KKIPAY. 91 KK II J OK HIF. lKHORiril' orvrr oimitt:k. It is now only six week until the time Axed for h.ililin the next primary election. Up to this time there are no candidates announced for the principal office. County Treasurer, and the prospects are that there will be none if the Crawford county system is continued, as the exense entailed on citmlidates is unreasonable and too burden some to lear. ISelievinir also that it is mi wie on the part of the Democracy to make their nominations live months before the election, I take the opportunity of calling the County Committee together for the purpose of considering the propriety of changing the time of making nominations to a later date, and of adopting some oth er system of nominating candidates. With the above statel objects in view, I hereby request the Democratic County Commit teemen to meet at the Opera House in Eb ensburgon MONDAY, MAY STH, lfl. at 1 o'clock, P. M , for the purpose afoie said. I would suggest that each member of the County Committee consult his con stituents on the subject so that any action taken bv the Committee will be endorsed by the party. JAS. O. HANSON, Chairman Democratic County Committee. Enwix Booth, the qctor, is suffering from a stroke of paralysis. Mr. (ii4iTo.NK's home rule for Ire laud bill liaised the House of Commons last Saturday, on second1 reading, by a vote of 3-17 to 304. The vote was re ceived with immense cheering. A IIakkisbi ku dispatch says "there is one sergeant-at-arnis aud four assist tnts for the House, but at no time during the session have there lieen more than two of these oHicials present, and it is said that two of them never came to Harrisburg except to draw their sala ries." The mayor of Chicago is holding no der consideration the question whether after the World's fair he will wear the Krupp gun in his lelt or use it as a paper weight. One thing against wearing it for protection is that it is not a self-cocker and is a little hard on the trigger. The widow of General Hancock died in New York, Thursday evening, aged sixty years. She had lieen ill for a long time. She first lost her two children the only ones she had and then her mother, aud, after the death of her husband, became melancholy and newr recovered. Her death was a happy re lease. The present administration is not run by Wall street. Mr. Carlisle is not run ning over to New York to consult a lot of money sharks in order to find out what he should do in the Treasury De partment. Every move made since the inauguration of President Cleveland has had a tendency to strengthen confidence in the power and integrity of the admin istration. Hon. Jas. Kkkr, Clerk of the House, has published an unofficial list of the next, 53d Congress. According to it the Democrats will have 2'J0 mem tiers, the The Republicans, 127, and the third party S, giving the Democrats a major ity of '.3 over the Republicans and S," over all. Of the 350 seats there is but one vacant, that of Lodge, of Massa chusetts, who since tiis election to the House, has been chosen U. S. Seuator. It is amusing to read the twaddle in the Republican papers in regard to low ering the stars and stripes at Hawaii. The stars and striries were raised over Hawaii without any authority, by peo ple who wanted the island annexed to s-rve their own selfish ends and the act has teen promptly disavowed. The Ieople of the United States have become prosjierous by attending to their own bus iness and they feel like letting the peo ple of Hawaii attend to theirs. The naval parade in New York to day, 27th, will lie the greatest exhibition of powerful war ships the world has ever seen. If the weather in fair, the specta tors lining both shores of the bay will lie enabled to witness the great spectacle. One feature of the show will be the sa lutes, .making a noise "louder than the bolts of heaven," and no doubt making work for the glaciers along New York's waterfront. At the close of the review by the 'resident a salute of twenty-one guns will lie fired opposite the tomb of General Grant. The 27th is his birth day. At Harrisburg on Wednesday the fol lowing bills passed finally: To correct an error in the law permitting liquor dealers to secure bondsmen from any party of the county in which the license may lie granted to sell intoxicating drinks. To entitle counties to the maintenance in state lunatic hospitals of as many indigent insane, free of costs, as they maintain in their almshouse. To provide for the increase of the salary of the superintendent of public instruc tion from 12,500 to f 3,500. To author ize cities to establish free libraries. For the government and regulation of county prisons. The Supreme court at Philadelphia has just decided a case growing out of the Johnstown flood. The defendant was the Pennsylvania railroad, and the plaintiff sued for failure to deliver a quantity of liquor shipid over the road. The defense was that the whiskey was lost iu the Hood. It was proven that part of the liquid was stolen and the rest destroyed by citizens to keep it out of the hands of dangerous men. The court ruled that as the trainmen deserted the train, and made no effort to defend the projierty, the railroad com)any must suffer for the inelliciency of its em ployes. The judgment of the lower ourt against the coiuimay was therefore jtOirtuetL A imspaich from More, Okla,, on Thursday guys: The country wcm u southwest of here was swept by a terntue cyclone at 7 0 o'clock on Tuesday even ing, Endless damage was none; just how much will not be known until the telegraph communication destroyed by the storm is renewed. The news at hand make? it certain that 10 jieople were killed, as many more injured, and untold property destroyed. Among the dead are J. O'Connors and his whole family, consisting of five mem bers; Mr. Hanks, H. C. Clements and a child of Henry Bateman. Tom Weaver had his arm broken and was otherwise injured an 1 is in a serious con.lition. Three of Mr. Hanks' family were seri oisly, and perhaps fatally, injured. Their house was blown to atoms, and the family only extricated after desierate efforts had been put forth. l'hilip Dyer's house was moved twenty feet. His invalid wife and tate, who were in the second story at the time the storm came up, were carried away with the building, but miraculously escaped serious injury. Frank Brown's house was blown down just as he and the family escaped. Most of the opIe es caped to their cyclone caves, having had warning of the impending danger. Further casualties cannot le ascer tained, but it seems certain that there were more. Though the cyclone lasted but a min ute or so the wreck left in its wake was awful. A path half a mile in width and eight miles long was laid waste. Houses barns and everything in its way went down. Telegraph wires and poles were blown down for miles around, and for this reason the particulars of the storm are not fully known. The storm passed over Guthrie, Okaluhonia,, but did no damage there. The reckless siend all olicy pursued in paying pensions, says the Philadel phia Herald, will soon receive a thorough overhauling. Heretofore the tension pirate or shark lias had tilings tiis own way and year after year the government has paid out thousands of dollars to dis honest claimants. In fact one might suppose by looking down the great pay rolls that every man who went to war was wounded in battle or disabled while in the honorable discharge of his duties. A general sifting of the jiensioners will be of wondrous tienetit to the whole country. The old veteran who fought bravely for his country and only receives his due has no need for alarm. It is the shark w ho is in danger the shark who is preying upon the tension service and thereby throwing suspicion and discredit Un the deserving ones. The bogus claimants should be exjosed to the world not allowed to pose as heroes when they had absolutely no cause or right to have their names added to an honored list. Members of the Grand army having patriotism and love of the country as their prompter are stepping to the front with demands that the list be purged of the sharks. The purging should commence at once and he continued until the list contains only the names of real heroes. When Uncle Sam's x-nsion list is re lieved of its fungus growth his pockets will at once bulge out again, and there will lie no more panicky talks about an inroad having been made on a small gold reserve fund. He will lie able to save enough silver every year to buy a ton of gold. According to some facte and figures presented by Henry Gannett in a recent issue of the New York Sun, there is to day nearly if not quite as great an area of woodland in the United States as when the white man set foot on our shores There are not so many square miles of merchantable timber now as then, but the territory occupied by growing trees is about as extensive as about 4K years ago, and these trees w ill in time grow to a size suitable for the production of lum ber. Some of Mr. Gannett's statements are quite inconsistent with the general belief that American forests are giving out. He says, for instance, that only about 270,000 square miles, or less than one-tenth the area of the country, is ar tificially cleared land, while to offset this loss there has in recent years lieen great extension of wooded land in the prairie states as well as in some of the natural tree-growing states. A table is published showing the total area and the wooden area of each state, the figures having been obtained from rexirts of the census and agricultural department from official surveys, and in a few cases from careful estimates. As a grand re sult, it is shown that the wooded area in the United States, excluding Alaska, is nearly 1,113,000 square miles. The bill regulating the publication and distribution of public document!, and further regulating the printing and dis tribution of Smull's Legislative Hand book, was vetoed on Monday by Gov ernor Pattison. He says: "Convenient as this publication may be for the use of many persons in the state, I know of no public reason to justify the gratuitous circulation of 3-2,000 copies of it at an average expense of 1.23 a volume. The number provided for by existing laws enables each member of the Seu ate to secure over one hundred copies and each mem tier of the House about sixty. The constantly increasing tend ency toward public expenditures of this kind should lie checked instead of en couraged." Jvik.e Hicks, of Toledo, O, in an elal orate opinion dec-ides that employes of any line of labor have a right to quit work when, where and how they please without lieing regarded as conspirators against an employer's iuterest as was held by Judge Tat, of Cincinnati, a doc trine too absurd U be recognized for a moment. The combined naval fleet reached New York harlior from Hampton Jioads oo Monday evening without mishap, and on schedule time. W ashing n letter. Washington, D. C, April 21, 1'.3. Secretary Carlisle is daily proving linn, self to be the right man in the right ptaee He h.is not allowed himself to Unoine anxious or excited during the financial tlurry of the week, brocgiit alMittt, as ho firmly lielives, by a comtun.; of bankers who are seeking by a renewed demand for gold for shipment abroad to force an issue of bmds. So firm is the Secretary in his U'licf that this is true that he -litely, but io itivelv, declined to accept an invitation extended him by New York city bankers to meet them in that town for the purose of discussing tne gold problem; he also, when it was suggested to him that the bankers would ie to Washington to discuss the matter if he would invite them, declined to do so. For the U. S. Treasury to lie run entire ly ind- iend nt of Wall Street men is something decidedly new, ami compli ments for Secretary Carlisle are beard on all tides, from Republicans as well as from Democrats. One gentleman, a (M-rsonal friend, said: "Secretary (. ai -lisle In lieves that Wall Str.t t bankers have had entirely too much say in the conduct of the financial department of the Government in the p;tt, and that they are largely responsible for the pies ent situation. Consequently lie lias no idea of taking them into his confidence as to what he intends doing. He pro imses gi vim? them a ncelel lesson by showing them that all the financial alul ty is not eoiigregateil in Wall Street, and that thev cannot dictate tne coun- rv's financial programme." The tirin- mss of S'cretary Carlisle against an issue of londs has already brought almiit a better condition of affairs, and it is iie- lieved that if thtfc-e who wish to compel an issue of bonds la-coiiie convinced that none will lie issued the demand for gold for foreign shipment will soon n-suiiie its normal condition. The outlook is now considered much lietter than it was at the lieginning of this week. Attorney General Olney has apparent ly been selected as the target at which to tire every slander and h that is hatched up bv the guttersnities of the opposition and the sensational press. One of the most audacious of these was the one which puqiorted to give in detail the particulars of Representative Wilson, oi Ves-t Virginia, liemg snubU'd by the At torney Geneial, in the oiliceof the latter, whicii was published at a time when it was known that Mr. Wilson would lie where he would not ! likely to see the story until it bati baa aiiout two days publicity, and worse than that, some of the iaK'rs that printed the lie neglected to print Mr. W ilson s unqtial ilied denial, which was tele-graphed to them as soon as he read the article. The Attorney General, like thedigniiied gen tleman that he is, quietly jierforms his official duties, just as though the bark ing curs did not exist. Many Statements, some of them ridic ulously absurd, have U-c-n made about President Cleveland's intentions con cerning lf.i.vaii. Tne fact of the matter is that he w ill await the rciort of Com missioner Bloul In-fore deciding what to do. It was liecause he did not con sider the information at hand suMicient- ly definite to make tip his mind what ought to lie done that he sent Col. Bloiit to Hawaii. All statements to the con trary are merely guesswork, as neither the President nor Secretary Gresham w ill discuss the matter, that is, not for pub lication. President Cleveland and Secretary Gresham have lieen investigating the work of the much talked-aUitit reciproc ity treaties made under the authority of the McKinley tariff law, and it looks now as if they were one and all failures ami that they will have to go. Those with Brazil, and with Spain for Cuba and I'orto Ricowill probably lie the first to In abolished, as there have la-en numerous complaints aiiout the manner in which the customs oHicials of those countries have violated the treaties. Tables pre pared at the State Department show that the w hole ssteiu has been a failure, and that instead of increasing the market for American products there has been, in several countries, a marked falling off in our trade si nee the treaties went into effect. The President believes that a conciliatory jwilicy towards our neigh liors will result in much greater com mercial lienetit to us than the jiolicy of reciprocity by c-rcion w hich was prac ticed by the Harrison administration. Hon. James K. Eustis, of Louisiana, this week qualified as U. S. Ambassador to France, and to-day he left for New York, whence he will start for Paris. Secretary Herbert left to dav for Hampton Roads. He will lly his flag from the Dolphin during the Naval Re view and will accompany the internation al Heel to New York, where it will be met by President Cleveland and the n-st of the Cabinet, and w here the tlnal ex ercises will take pKu e.
