There is no question but wl at the
I)eniocrats will have a majority in the
next house of congress, although it will
not be nearly as large as the present
plurality in that branch," said clerk of
the house, Hon. James Keer, during a
business trip to Philadelphia on Satur
day last. "We shall have both the sen
ate and the house by comfortable mar
gins, and I sincerely lieliieve there is
no contest as to that fact. If there is a
contest it exists as a Republican hope."
A llAKRigiiiRG dispatch: says the
swindling operations of building and
loan associations of other states in
Pennsylvania have become so notorious
that the proper state authorities have
een a-ked to put a stop to them if pos
sible. Many complaints of the dishon
est workings of these associations have
come from Western Pennsylvania and
from Bradford, McKean county, These
concerns, by paying a registration fee
of $10.25 each, are entitled to do busi
ness in that state. Local organizations
are then formed to give them stand
ing in the community in which they
projiose to operate.
Ji igf. Gibbons, of Chicago, in a de
cision which ordered a judgment of
ouster against the whisky trust, laid
down the principle that corporations
"May tlourish and expand, but com pe
tition and individualism must le neith
er thwarted nor crushed." Should this
doctrine be atlirmed by the higher
courts of Illinois and the United States,
as seems probable, it would not only
end the life of the whisky
tiust, but the existence of all the
many other combinations in re
straint of trade which have derived a
corporate existence from the respective
states.
A rRoci-AMATios was issued on Tues
day by superintendent of public instruc
tion Schaeffer recommending the ob
servance of October l'J as autumn arbor
day and earnestly urging teachejs and
suierintendents to adopt a suitable pro
gram of exercises, including the plant
of one or more trees. He also recom
mends that attention be drawn to the
fact that it is best to plant native trees
and that the young people should be
taught that it is better to plant the elm
in damp soil, the white oak and the su
gar maple in richer, drier soil, than it is
to plant the too short-lived horse chest
nut or the silver maple which is too weak
for its enormous she. When tree-planting
is impossible Suierintendent Scliaef
fer says the olservance of the day need
not le ommitted.
There seems to be a significant fnll
in the wool cry, says the Philadelphia
Tim, and the wail of distress over the
new tariff schedule is no longer a re
sjiectable murmur. Of course there is a
cause. When the McKinley bill went
into effect wool brought 2S cents a
pound and fell to 10 cents inisde the
first week. As the rlock masters were
not giving away their product they
stopjed selling, and under the highest
protective tariff ever known. found nei
ther market nor buyers. The new tariff
rate makes heavy reductions, nothing
less than 35 per cent, and all the way up
to 'JO. Under this tariff last week an
Ohio wool grower in the Woodsfield dis
trict sold 10,000 pouudsat 2) cents. At
Washington, in this state, the wool clip
commands 21 cents, and this in spite
of the fact that the Washington fann
ers were assured that the free wool mea
sure was theii ruin. To top all, a
Monongahela firm yesterday instructed
its country agents to take up 3o0,(0
pounds at 25 cents, where they former
ly paid 15. This is why the lull in the
avool ruin cry has the boaruV. (
If the Republican party is to regain
the confidence of the country in
savs the Ifir,r Wifkhi, it must have
principles, and if in nominates a man
who is "jest a candidate," its present
hore is more thau likely to le turned to
bitter disappnintiiieut.
The country is not arouseu against
the Democratic party lecaise it has Ie-
i
creased some tariff diitit-s. The Kepub- !
lican who deceives nunseii ny uuukih
so will remain in a darkness of a past
out of which the half jx rformance of
the Democratic party in 1S'.H and 1S'-'-showed
clearly that the jienp.e have
made up their minds that tariff taxes
should e reduced, and that raw ma
terials should placed on the free list.
The people of tlie Tinted States are not
the feeble minded children that some
Republican politicians have assumed
them to !, and they are not in the ha
bit of relielling against the party which
they have placed in power liecause it
keeps the promises on the faith of
which it succeeded. The country is
enraged against the Democratic party
liecause it has not fully carried out its
pledges, Iecau-se it has been dominated
bv the same inlluences that have for
years controlled the Republican party,
especially in the framing of the McKin
ey act, and b-icause whate ver there has
!cen of good intention, sound principle,
and morality in the Democratic party
has been made of no avail by the cor
ruption, greed, and protectionism which
have been jK-rmitted to rule.
What the ieople of this country want
is an end of the domination of trusts
and monoj)Olies that have obtained their
lower through protective tariffs. They
want more rather than less reform of
the tariff. They want less of the com
munism that employs the taxing ower
of the government for the enrichment of
the sugar trust on the one hand, and
for leyying on the incomes of the thrifty
on the other. They want loss experi
menting with their currency, a large
majority of the intelligent and controll
ing members of the community knows
ing that the tendency of all this is to
drag the United States down to the
financial level of China and the weakest
and most hopeless of the South Ameri
can countries.
It is many years, says he New York
Hfniltl, since the business horizon was
free as at present from portentous
clouds. From the enactment of the
Sherman law in the summer of 1'.0 and
the Baring panic in the following No
vember until the New tariff became
ojierative a few weeks ago the country
was subjected to an unparalleled series
of disturbing and destructive influences,
but the obnoxious measure which was
undermining the foundations of the cur
rency was repealed a year ago and the
tariff agitation that immediately suc
ceeded it has resulted in the new law.
With a sound currency and a settled ba
sis for trade and manufactures the way
is prepared for a sound and lasting re
vival of prosperity. After the period of
storm and stress through which the o
ple have passed it would lie absurd to
expect such a revival immediately. The
country is convalescent, but it needs
time to recover its full strength. That it
is growing stronger day by day, however,
admits of no iuestion. and, as capital
ists and investors and merchants and
manufacturers U'conic convinced of
this fact, progress toward prosperity will
increase in a geometrical ratio.
The Philadelphia Imjuinr in an arti
cle on crops and business, is forced to
admit that "a decided improvement i
shown as compared with the not distant
past. It is estimated that 0 per cent,
of the iron making capacity of the
country is in operation, W per cent, of
the cotton mills. Manufacturers and
consumers alike have adjusted their af
fairs to the new tariff, as far as this can
be done, and the unfavorable develop
ments that were feared have not come
to pass. The production of pig iron on
September 1 is given as 151,113, tons
per week, as against 115, 35 ions in
August, and the entire output is going
into consumption. In the first half of
September northern cotton mills have
taken 12,35! bales of cotton, against
7,101 in the same time last year, and
the consumption of southern mills has
been as great as it was. Despite the
check to the dry goods trade, the mills
are well employed. Likewise shoe man
ufacturers are doing a much larger bus
iness than last year, as stocks in dealers'
hands everywhere are low, and this in
spite of an advance in the price of leath
er." For this much, at least, let us be
thankful.
The enormous number ef 5S7 sugar
growers ia Louisiana are going to join
the Republican party. They are head
ed by ex Governor Warmoth, which
raises the suspicion that the most of
them are not new converts. This is the
total number of people in the state of
I-ouisiana engaged in sugar growing.
Last year they received 111,114 2'.0 in
bounties from the United States treasu
ry, an average of 1'.,195, G6 each. But
for the passage of the new tariff act they
would have received f 23,000,000 bounty
this year, or an average of $40,000
each. These individuals offer to make
Louisiana a Republican state if the su
gar bounty is restored. Not a much
stronger argument than this can !e
produced in favor of the new tariff, nor
could there be a more scandalous ex
posure of the corruption of the McKin
ley tariff.
President Havemeyer, of the Ameri
can sugar refining company, has issued
orders for the closing down at once of
one-half of the refineries under its con
trol, and next week the rest of the re
fineries will he ordered to shut down.
This action is taken because of the large
amount of refined sugar on hand, and
also, it is said, because of the operation
of the new tariff. This will mean put-,
ting 10,000 men out of work. Mr.
Havemeyer says the company has been
working the refineries at a lotas.
Washington Letter.
Washington. D. C. Sept. 21, 1S04
A quorum of the cabinet have been in
Washington this week, but not all at one
time. Secretary Smith was only in town
three days and Secretary Lamont has
just arrived. Secretaries Gresham and
HerU'rt have leeti at their desks all the
week and Secretary Carlisle has not
Ih-cii able to get een a three day vaca
tion since congress adjourned. There is
considerable gossip here over tiie proba
bility of Secretary Lamont U-ingnomin-atcd
for governor of New Yoikby the
Democrats, although he isn't saying a
word himself. There is no doubt that
Secretary Lamont would make a strong
candidate perhaps stronger than any
man who has been mentioned in con
nection with the nomination, except
ex Secretary Whitney, and the impres
sion is that he will not accept liecause,
like Whituty, he would le acceptable to
the two factions into which the party in
New York is unfortunately divided, lie
having managed to keep the good will of
them all. Iemocrats here recogui.e
the nomination of Mr. Morton to have
been about the strongest that the Repub
licans could have made, and they be
lieve that a verv strong Democrat will
be needed to lieat him, under existing
circumstances.
Senator Faulkuer has decided that he
can be of more benefit to the party by
giving his undivided attention to mana
ging the congressional campaign com
mittee, of which he is chairman, than
by going on the stump; consequently he
will make no speecnes, but will remain
constantly at the committee headquarter-.
He Sent President Cleveland a
copy of the campaign text book, this
week, with the compliments of the com
mittee. Although no official announcement
has been made to that effect, and none
is exjiected, it has !eeu uuderstoou for
some time that treasury officials regard
ed women a failure as high grade clerks
in that department; consequently there
was little surprise when it was learned
that a considerable ercentage of the
hundred-odd clerks dismissed thus far in
the reorganization of that department,
now uuder way in accordance with a law
enacted at the last session of congress,
were high grade women clerks. There
are more high grade women clerks?
that is women drawing more than 1,2(0
a year in the treasury than in any
other department, and, according to
statements of those over them, there are
numerous reasons why men are pre
ferred to them. It is said no more wo
men will be appointed to or promoted to
any clerkship above the Sl,2tHi grade in
the treasury department. Although it
is strictly , a matter of business, those
who have I teen dismissed are raising a
great howl as though they had been de
prived of something iujwhich they had a
proprietary interest, and the howl is like
ly to increase in volume as soon as those
who are trying to get reinstated k'come
convinced that they cannot succeed.
Owing largely to the dullness in jkj
litical news, a regular " tern i test in a
teapot'' has been made out of the re
signation of Mr. O'Roiirke, supervising
architect of the treasury, at the request
of Secretary Carlisle, by the Washing
ton correspondents. It is a yery simple
case, without any of the elements of a
sensation. Mr. O'Rourke failed to run
the business of his office as smoothly as
Secretary Carlisle thought it ought to
lie run, rather from lack of adaptability
than lack of ability, and his resignation
was asked for, received and accepted.
That's all.
One of the tiest campaign documents
sent out by the Democratic campaign
committee is a list of the new enterpris
es inaugurated and if old ones which
have resumed work since the new tariff
became a law. It answers better than
pages of argument could possibly do the
Republican charge th it tariff reform
would injure American industries,

FifU-two Dead.
Ai.oosa, la., Septemlier 22. A cy
clone passed through this county about
3 o'clock last night. So far as reported
52 people were killed and 30 injured,
several of them fatally. The little town
of Cylinder 20 milt-s west of this place
on the Milwaukee road, it is reported,
was swept from the face of the earth.
About 25 miles north of that place a
family named Goulden, four iu number,
were killed.
The tow n of Whitmore 12 miles west
Algona, was unharmed, but Robert Ste
venson, living four miles north, was
killed, anil his wife probably fatally in
jured. The wife and children of Fred
Ponie in Fenton township were in their
house, which was completely wrecked,
but they were covered up by the falling
wall, and not one of them was hurt.
The horse barn was completely blown
away. Five horses were unharmed.
George W. Beavers, living three miles
north of Algona, had just gotten home
from the fair. He got into ithe house
with his wife and two children and an
adopted son, and was just getting down
in the cellar, when the cyclone struck
the house, completely demolishing it.
The w hole family were" covered with the
ruins. Beavers had the baby in his
arms, and with it he made his way north
to the house of Geo. Christian Dau, his
father-in-law, for help. His wife was
just dying when he returned, and his
little girl gasjied "Papa, papa," and ex
pired. The wreck here was complete,
nothing remaining of the handsome
house and barn.
Galveston, Septemlier 2t. The Santa
Fe express traiu arriving here this
morning was held up at a water tank
south of Temple at 1 a. m. Two men ran
the fireman and Engineer Frank off the
engine. They evidently had confeder
ates and expected to rob the train, but
the confederates were either at the
wrong place or there was some misun
derstanding. The fireman broke away
from the roblrs and reported the case
to Conductor H. Weler. Meanwhile the
brakeman came up, and the robliers, be
lieving he was the advance picket of a
rescuing train crew, jumped from the
engine and fled.
Norristown, Pa., Septemlier 2o Jo
seph Burken, a Ixwer Merion colored
man, was being given a hearing by
Magistrate Perry L. Anderson, at Pen
coyd, when he ran behind the magis
trate's desk to the place where his wife
was standing, and with the blade of a
penknife gashed her on the right arm.
Subsequently he threw an empty lottIe
at the magistrate's head, but missed it.
Burken then boastlngly admitted serv
ing seven years in Trenton for killing a
man, and added: "If I serve seven for
this, I'll kill her when I get out"

about the city looking after small tires
when the alarm from the elevator was
rung in. When the engines arrived the
fire was tieyond control, and in half an
hour fromjthe time it started the docks for
half a mile were on fire. Nothing could
te done but to let the fire burn itself
out.
The elevator contained nearly half a
million bushels of wheat. The new
plant of the Portland General electric
company, which had just arrived from
Lynn, Mass., was standing in the yards
of the Terminal company on the cars,
not having leen unloaded. The plant
occupied an entire train, and the ma
chinery was of the most expeusive kind,
most of which was destroyed. Two hun
dred freight cars, M of which was tie
stroyed. The Oregon railway ami Nav
igation docks held 1,500 tons of freight,
consisting of wool, salmon, general mer
chandise and cement, all of which was
destroyed. There were stored on the
dock aUut 12,000 cases of salmon from
the lower Columbia river and Puget
Sound, awaiting shipment to the east.
It was valued at about $40,0W, and was
partly insured.
Tragedy After a Ball.
Dunbar, Pa., Septemlier 23. Frank
Greenlee shot and mortally wounded
John McDowell last night. I$oth at

lady. She did not seem to have any
choice, but the young men raged at
each other. Finally they quarreled,
agreed to fight it out and left the dance
for that purKse. They agreed to fight
with nature's weajions, but In-fore they
set to Greenlee suddenly changed his
mind and drew a pistol. Before any
Udy could interfere he fired point blank
at McDowell at close range and missed
him. Then he fired rapidly until one of
the bullets struck McDowell in the
breast.
The latter turned as if to escafe but
again faced his enemy and got another
bullet in his abdomen. As the wouuded
man fell Greenlee's younger brother
took a hand in the shooting at Mc
Dowell until others interfered. In all a
dozen shots were fired at McDowell, but
only two hit him. Either of these will
prove fatal.
Greenlee was captured in Councils
ville in the night, taken to L'niontown
and lodged in jail.

Allen walked with a steady step from
the jail to the court house, a distance of
50 yards, handcuffed, and knelt down

Harrisburg Pa., SeptemUr 25. In
dustries are humming again with more
than their old time briskness. In the
iron and steel plants the prosjiects for
fall work are very promising, the Ioeh

vania Steel Works, at Steelton, three
furnaces are in blast, with sjiecial activ
ity in the bridge, construction and frog
departments. The American tule and
iron company's Middletown plant was
at work on double turn in nearly every

Decapitated hj a Car.
Philadelphia, Septemlier 25. The 3
year-old son of Morris G leek man, of 020
South Fourth street, was decapitated lie
fore his eyes by a trolley car to night.
The child had just been given a few pen
nies to buy cakes with, and a girl friend,
he was trudging across the street to a
grocery. The car was coming south
ward when the two were in the middle
of the street. "Ixok out, look out,"
shouted Gleckman, who stood on the
sidewalk, and was watching the child
run. The scream of his father fright
ened the little fellow and he became con
fused and stood still. The girl managed
to jump from the track just in time, but
little Abraham was struck, the car
wheels completely severing his head
and both arms from the body.
The line Shops Destroyed.
Erie, Pa., September 25. The plant
of the E rie Car orks, the largest con
cern of its kind in the country, was al
most wholly destroyed by fire last ight.
Several acres of buildings and a number
of cars were burned.
The works had been used by the Lake
Shore Railway for the past 15 months
as repair shops and all cars destroyed
were the property of that company.
The fire was incendiary in origin, and
was the second attempt to burn the
works within two weeks.
The loss will foot up 300,000, upon
which there is small insurance.
