The South Carolina Pcheme was a new attempt to solve the liquor question, and although generally regarded as nearly as alurd and im practicable as total Prohibition itself, there was a general desire that it should have a trial. This nipping it in the bud is, therefore, to le regretted. The following very important bill has lieen signed by the (Sovernor and now becomes a law: "An act authorizing Courts of Common 1'Ieas to appoint a competent person to iusjiect school houses on complaint of taxable citizens of any school district in which lioards of school directors or controllers have failed to provide aid maintain projier and ade quate accommodations for the children who are lawfully entitled to school prixi leges in the district, and prescribing a penalty by removal from ollice for ne glect of duty ou the part of school di rectors." An extensive steel and iron works at Trov.N. Y., has shut down, throwing a thousand men out of employment. TheMcKiuley law is still in force, but, shrieks the New York Tribune and pro tectionist organs generally, it is Ixtause of the coming IKinocratio free trade. Not at all, pays Mr. Kemp, the Vice President of the Troy company; "The fact is, the ability to produce steel iu America to-day is four times the con-, sumption." Then he adds that it costs more to produce steel in Troy than iu many other places, and "competition has driven the prices beyond our reach." Unless the people of Western Kansas receive aid iu the very near future that entire section will lie practically deiop u In ted. Tuesday of last week, the coun ty commissioners of Wichita, I-ane, Scolt, (.Sreeley and other counties met at J-eoti and issued a call for a convention at some central point, at which an appeal is to le made to Governor Levelling to immediately call the legislature together to appropriate funds for provisions, feed and wed wheat. Thousands, of people will le btrced to leave that section un less aid is given to them at ouf-c. Many have already abandoned their claims and gone to Oklahoma. Hon. Ch ai'ncey F. I'i.ack, president and John 1. Worman,' Secretary of the I trttiocratic society ot Pennsylvania have issued the following call: "The execu tive committee and the finance commit tee of the Democratic society of Penn sylvania will meet at the lioltoii house, Ilarrisburg, at 2 o'clock l .M.Tuesday July 18, the former to fix the date of the general assembly of lS'.Kl, to lie held at Allentowu, and to transact other imjiort ant business, and the latter committee for the purjKise of organization and! to provide for the execution of article 10 of the constitution, adopted at the last gen eral assembly at Scran ton. "The meet ing will lie an importaut one and the at tendance of every memlier is resiectfu!ly urged." (Joveknok Pattisos's veto of the ap propriation of $l!-i,.r71,t0 forexpenses of the House Flections Committee, says the Philadelphia Unitnl, meets with general commendation. It was a tiold attempt to rob the State Treasury under the forms of law. If Mr. D. Smith Talbot, of Chester county, should have lieen tin captain of a party of freeliooters instead of chairman of the Flections Committee, and should have nndertaken to break into the vaults of the treasury to get money that did not belong to him, the act would not have lieen quite so culpa ble as it was to undertake the robliery while acting as the trusted agent of the Ieople to whom the money laMongs. The Governor's message is a thorough and ringing exjiosure of this particular form of public pillage; and ought to render it imjiossible for the officials en gaged m such a transparent attempt to line their own pockets at the expense of the state to be ever again afforded a lik opportunity. Pkesident Ci.evei.and in response to an invitation from Tammany Hall to at tend their celebration on Independence Day, sent his regrets at being unable to attend and his letter gives the following good advice: "There has never been a time when our countrymen needed to lie moresolierly reminded that they cannot delegate their duties and obligations of citizenship, nor negect to cultivate their individual and tersonal interest in pub lic affairs. If those who now celebrate the anniversary of American indoiienJ- u e guard against the sordid struggle for unearned wealth that stilles patriot ism; if they exact from public servants the strictest accountability in the per formances of public duties; if they hold fast to the American ideas that work is honorable and economy is a virtue, if they insist that there should I at honesty j an.i cleanliness in politics, and if they refuse to encourage expedients that en danger the foreign or national finance, thwe who follow us will joyously cele lrato lite day in centuries to come." A dispatch from Chicago on Monday says: No less than 50 firemen lost their lives at the World's Fair this afternoon, inst lfore '2 o'clock. At that time the ; Cold Storage warehouse, just south of . . , ! tt.o vti-.f.v.irtl. etrt ftp. caiurht fire the Sixty-fourth street gate, caught fire j in the ton of the cmmlii, which rises ful ly 2H feet from the ground. Through this ctiola the chimney pass-s. The cupola is built of wood, overlaid with staff, and is highly ornamented with columns and pillars. Near the top is a landing. The fire broke out about SO feet aliove this. As soon as the firemen arrived 3. or 40 of them clinilied up the ladders to this landing, and were preparing to throw streams of water on the burning portion, w hen the lire which had eaten its way inside the staff to a jioint U-low where the firemen stood, broke out with volcanic ferocity on all sides. An ex clamation of horror went up from lijs of U0.OOO eopIe who had assembled aliout the building to see the fire. Five of the men saved themselves by sliding down the roj-s. I?efore the others could follow the flames had burned away the roes. The unfortunate fel lows who remained huddled together on the north side were doomed. It was lieyond the reach of any of the ladders and the crowd stood horror stricken and helpless to rescue the firemen. The flames ran higher and higher until the men were almost concealed from view. At this moment one of the firemen sprang far out into the air and was dashed to pieces "on the roof SO feet lie low. Another and another followed his example, craze! by the awful heat and doubtless preferring to lie killed by a fall than burned to death. When five men had jumped, the up per (tortion of the eupolit gave way, and the remaining firemen were swallowed up in the seething mass of burning tim timliers. Meantime all the lire engines on the grounds had been called and aid had leen summoned from Hyde Park, but the main irfirtioii of the fire was far aliove the leach of the streams of water The entire building wis d-stroyed. It cost f250,(KH) and was stored with meats, fruits and wines. The whole loss will probably reach $."O0,(HX). At 2:15 the entire ware house was in flames and it whs reorted that three women and several clerks employe! in the office of the concern on the third floor were crushed by the falling cupola. On the 30th of June the President is sued the following proclamation: Executive Maausion, Washington, D. C, June 30, 1 '.;$. Whereas, The dis trust and apprehension concerning the financial situation w hich prevade all bus-, in ess circles, have already caused great loss and damage to our jieople. and threaten to cripple our merchants, stop the wheels of manufacture bring distress and privation to our farmers, and with hold from our workingmen the wage of hiiior; and, Whereas, The piesent perilous condi tion is largely the result of a financial policy which the excutive branch of the government finds embodied in unwise laws which must lie executed until re jtealed by Congress. Now, therefore, I, G rover Cleveland, President of the Uuited Stat s, in per formance of a constitutional duty, do by this proclamation declare that an extra ordinary occasion requires the conven ing of both lit aises of the Congress of the United States at the capital in the city of Washington on the seventh day of Au gust next, at 12 o'clock noon, to the en that the jieojile may lie relieved through legislation from present and impending danger and distress. All those elected members of the Fifty-thiul Congress are required to take notice of this proclama tion and attend at the time and place aliove stated. Given under my hand and the seal of the United States at the city of Washing ton, on the thirtieth day of June, iu the year of our Ixird one thousand eight hundred and ninety-three, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and seventeenth.

President Cleveland does not expect to return until just leforo the as sembling of Conjjrefs, as lie wishes to prepare his message to Congress, which will lie in some resjects the most im Krtant he ever wrote, free from inter ruption. Notwithstanding till the newspajicr talk about an administration programme for the extra session of Congress, it can lie jmsitivcly state! that there will le no such thing as an administration pro gramme. Pn-shlent Cleveland will in his tiK-s.-age endeavor to make the necessity for the r ieal of the Sherman- silver law iM-rbftly plain to Congress, and in that he will not overstep the hounds ! hi-s constitutional rights, but he has no idea of attempting to dictate a programme to Congress. He will merely jxiint out what, in his judgment, oiiyiit to lie lone, leaving Congress to consider ways and means of how it shall lc dime, or whether it shall lie done at all. The programme for the extra s-ssion will Ik arranged by Congress after it meets and not by any single individual, and any attempt to outline it In-fore tin ineniliers of Congress have hail an op ort unity to consult upon it is nothing more or less than guesswork. Uepreseiitative 1 lolman, wluxe ideas on economy in administering the gov ernment are widely known, says noth ing would lie more conducive to econ omy than the imposition of an income tax by Congress. Sjicaking on the sub ject this week he said: "The possibili ties for wealth in the United States are lieyond all calculation. They an' enor mous. If we tried to to live up to them in our public excuse we would inaugu rate an era of extravagance in the midst of which free institutions could not live. lV-hind Congress is the wealthier class of citizens. It is to their interest that the expenditure of the government should lie lavish. They are the gainers by building contracts, by river and harbor contracts, and soon. You see plenty of lobbies of rich men or their repr-senta-tives here at each session of (ongrcss. You never .' a lobby of jioor men. You may not know it, but there is not an evening that u member of Congress cannot dine at one of the chilis in this city. The men who sup(Krt these clubs are not men who contribute their fair share to the support of the government They are the men who profit by the ex ienditure of large sums of public money. That is the strongest argument, I think, in favor of the establishment of an in come tax. If we make heavy appro priations now, the weight of them falls with the greatest fore' on the jhh ir. If the government is supported by an in come tax, these ope who are here urging us to sjieiid money now, would lie here in the same force urging us t. economize." This argument may he new to many but it is none the less in teresting on that account. The recent shake-up in the weather bureau by which several of its highest officials were retiril to private life, is lielicved to I' but the In-ginning of an entire reorganization of that branch "of the public service. Secretary Morton thinks that it has Iki ii too extravagantly run. Many unsuccessful attempts were made while Speaker Crisp was iu town this week to get a hint from him as to who would b' chairman of the most imjxir tant House commit!-; iu the new House, his own re election to be speaker lieing taken for granted. There has been lots of talk about President Cleve land being opjmsed to this or that chair man of the last House lieing given the same place in the new I louse, but a meinlicr of the cabinet stab-d several days ago that Mr. Cleveland had never made any rejii-sl or even a suggestion t Mr. Crisp concerning who should l chairman of any house committc. It i altogether probable that some of th' old 1 . ! II I . .i . cuairmen win ian to get l.iek their places, but it will U- U cause the judg ment of Mr. Crisp is in favor of a chnng 1 . 1 r , aim not iHvause oi any niierieretice on the part of Mr. Cleveland, who, although a wonderfully industrious man, coiiM never find time to do one tenth of tin things credited with doing. ,i. No Evidence Against Miller. Cairo. 111., July lo. It is now pretty generally concede! that C. I. Miller, tl Springfield, III., mulatto who was haiigei shot and cremated at i'.ardwcll. Ky., rrulay afternoon, was executed iimii th iiimsiesi circumstantial evidence, or probably no evidence at all, for then was not one tangible thing that conmvt- ed him with the a-saiilt and murder of the Hay sisters last W"dn-sday morning, Information from a trustworthy sourc at Wickliffe is that telegrams have ln-cn received there confirming Miller's stab menis as to w nere ne wasjiuv l anno. Miller's story was that he was at Fi. marck, Mo., the morning of July .", and no one has brought forward any evi dence to the contrary. Careful imiuirv has failed todis'lise a single jmtsoii who will say jiositively that he saw Miller in Kardwell, or even Carlisle county that day. Searly 300 Oveu llanknl. Gi!EKxt i:t no, Pa., July S. The coke workers and miners along the Sewicklcy branch are disturlatl and discouraged bv the closing of mines and blowing out of ovens. The general impression is that the coke business in this part of the stateisina very had way and will lie worse still. Over 200 ovens at Mam moth, alw.ut 50 at Trauger and 40 more at Hecla were banked this afternoon, throwing wOO or tXKI men out of work. Many miners will suffer by this move. The closing down of furnaces in various parts of the country drove the ojierators to adopt this plan, they say, to reduce expens-s. Other works in this locality will le closed next week. The active competition lately devclojied under im proved methods in the West Virginia fields is charged with a large share of re sponsibility for existing coke conditions in Pennsylvania.

ISctwecu titty and one hundred tsoos were killiil and neatly 1S0 were injured, many of whom will die. The utmost confusion followed the advent of the storm, and it was several hours lie fore the conditions of affairs there were known. As soon the true state of af fairs was learned, relief trains over the Illinois Central were sent out. with a coriS of physicians, tents and provisions, 'lite town was in total darkness anil the streets were filled with the wn-cks of homes and business houses. The senes were appalling, as men with lanterns went about in the debris. In some in stances entire families were wiped out, the mangled remains lieing found in the ruins of their liom-s. The cries of the injured were heartrending, and the gen eral confusion was incnas"l by the wail ing of the survivors who were separald from friends, or had relatives in the wreck. The work of rescue was slow and tlie train load of heli-rs made little headway. Foreign Cholera (Quarantine. Washington, July 11. Ir.

It was the customary day for making the pr. (Mirtioiial purchases of silver on the . Inly account and ls ounces were offer-!. The pries aski! ranged from 7- to 75 cents. They were n ga nli il as too high by acting Director Preston, who mad- a counter projKisition by offering 71 1 cents per ounce.

After this Jennings started away when William Turner, brother of John Tur ner, who murdered the Suiiiptcrs and Askers, took a hand, but Jennings not only disarmed him of his pistol, but stahlied him seriously. That ended the trouble for the time lieing, but while Jennings was plowing in his field some one from ambush shot him, killing him instantly. Average Life rxpectaucj.
