The Daughters of the revolution of
Pittsburg have recently received by deed
from Mrs. Schenly, of that city, the old
block house built in 17C4, after the re

The building will be preserved and made
a museum for colonial relics.
Secretary Carlisle has decided to ex

(eserai. Phii.ii' Sidney Post, niem-l-r
of congress from the Tenth district
of Illinois.jdied at the Hamilton hotel in
Washington on Saturday after an illness
of but one day. His death was from
heart failure, resulting from acute gas
tritis. For some time he had been suf
fering at intervals from attacks which
physicians pronounced dyspepsia, but
has attended to his congressional duties
unremittingly.
On- Tuesday Deputy Sheriff M. M.
Shoemaker made an information against
Judge Charles E. Taylor, President
Judge of Venango county, charging him
with assauit, with intent to kill. The
warrant has not yet been served, owing
to the serious illness of Judge Taylor.
A meeting of the Venango county
Rar was held this afternoon, and ini-ix-achment
proceedings against Judge
Taylor were commenced.
Statements are frequently made con
cerning the incomes or rather the
allowances granted to European sover
eigns, in which that of the Emperor of
Ilussia is placed highest of all. The
fact is he lias no allotted or fixed income.
All the rest have, from the smallest to
the greatest. The Emperor of Russia is
regarded as the owuer as well as the
ruler of that country. All its wealth is
by a monarchical fiction supposed to be
his. Every dollar in the imerial treas
ury is therefore at his command. In
the alnce of a fixed civil list, therefore,
he can draw the money he requires, no
matter how great the sum may be.
Haviso lost the governorship of Cali
fornia at the polls, the Republicans of
that state are now trying to steal the of
fice. They began a contest against
Dubh, IVniocrat, who was elected. Af
ter hearing the case the state supreme
judges threw it out of court. It is now
prooed to have the legislature, which
is Republican, deal with the matter and
consummate the theft. The Republican
candidate, whom votersof his own party
heliied the lKmocrats to defeat at the
polls, is a plutocratic railroad corpora
tionist. His eager desire for the office,
it is generally understood, is that he
may look after the interests of the cor
poration rather than those of the peo
ple. It is authotitatively stated at Wash
ington that President Cleveland has not
considered the question of an extra ses.
sion and that he does not believe an ex.
tra session will be necessary. The au
thority for this statement isamember of
congress who talked with the President
speci ticaliy upon this subject to day.
This gentlemen thinks that the reve
nues consequent upon the collection of
the income tax, the sugar tax and from
other sources, will, within a few months,
give the treasury department a comfor
table working surplus. He thinks it not
improbable that Secretary Carlisle may
be comjielled to make another sale of
probably $50,000,000 of bonds, but that
when this shall have been done the con
dition of the treasury will be so im
proved that no further trouble need ba
apprehended.
Is Philadelphia, on Weddesday, the
Republican convention that was called
together to nominate a candidate for
mayor of that city, instead of nomina
ting Senator Boies Penrose, who was
known as the candidate acceptable to
Senator juay, and whose nomination
up until the day before was coneeded,
turned Penrose down and nominated
City Solicitor Warwick for the position.
Senator Quay hearing of the trouble vis
ited Philadelphia on Tuesday but was
unable to Stem the tide of the revolt that
bad taken place against his plans.
In a speech in the United States Sen
ate on Wednesday, Senator Quay indi
rectly referred to the Philadelphia nom
ination and plainly showed that he felt
the rupture between David Martin, the
Philadelphia boss, who has always here
tofore been one of Quay's chief iieuten.
ants and himself. It may be that Phila
delphia which gave 85,000 Republican
majority in November will elect a Dem-x-ralic
mayor in February.
A Hakrisbi ko dispaich says: There
are strong intimations that the legisla
ture will order an investigation into the
operations of the text book trust und.-i
the new free school book law. The sys
tem of free looks in the school in itself
has proven a great success, and there is
more likely to U- an enlargement of it
than a retrograde movement. Rut lead
ing legislators of both parties who irivc
been inquiring into the subject are con
vinced that the state paid out .luring the
year perhaps a million dollar? more than
necessary in the shape of trust profits.
A number of the districts, including
Pitt-burg, have not reported the amount
expended to the state officers. The to
tal as far as heard from, for the school
year ending June 4, 18'.l, for books and
supplies is $1. 804, 71 1 15. This.it is
stated at the department, is considera
bly more than was anticipated. The
amount per capita ranges from as low as
S3 cents in oue county to as much as
in others. There is an entire absence of
uniformity. Some distric s expended
more than the state appropriation, and
others turned the new law into a money
making scheme.
For instance, Pittsbuag pays 05 cents
for an algebra which costs McKcesport
il. On the other hand, the little town
of Rellefonte, which appears to he es
pecially fortunate, buys the same look
for lJ'3 cents. Rellefonte also secures for
3 cents, geometry which costs SI. 05 in
Pittsburg snd Allegheny, and for which
McK?esport is charged ?1 l:. Rrowns-
ville gets this book for ts cents. I lome
stead is assessad 5o cent for an arith
metic which costs Allegheny 521 cents,
but has a rate lower than Allegheny on
geographies.
Is response to the request of the Inm
Tnule lii vim- for a word as to the indus
trial and financial outlook for the United
States. Andrew Carnegie sends the fol
lowing: It seems to me that 1S'.5 is go
ing to be a better year for the iron and
steel business than its predecessors.
How could it le worse it is ditiicult to
conjecture. Rut the sword of Damocles
hangs over every phase of business in
the United States thats.vord of silver.
Until the country plants itself firmly and
forever upon the platform of money of
the highest standard of value no forecast
is worth much. We never can have
permanent and genuine prosperity with
out first setting the standard of value.
At present capital not only at home, but
throughout the world, is alarmed. No
prudent investor abroad will place his
capital here, and numbers are quietly
withdrawing it. This was to have been
expected, and is only natural. When
one act of congress or the failure to pass
an act may reduce the value of every
dollar invested, by one-half, it is in
vain we seek prosperity. My friend Ed
ward Atkinson just called and I have
read this to him. He concurs fully and
says: "All the material conditions of
this country are conductive to a period
of great prosrerity, never greater; noth
ing stands in the way but the threat of
the degradation of the standard of
value."
Senator David Ii. Hill took dinner
with Presideut Cleveland on Thursday
night of last week and it is believed this
signifies the end of the feud which has
existed for years between these two men.
Roth men have discovered the fact that
neither amounts to a baubee unless
backed by the great party that made
them both and as the dissensions that
they have engendered anJ encouraged
have bronght disaster to the Democracy
the sight of the wreck and ruin they
have wrought has probably halted both.
The selfish instinct of Self preservation
has compelled what the good of the party
could not command and both are to lie
congratulated that their mulishness has
at last given away to good common horse
sense.
The stretching of the senatorial legs of
David B. Hill under Cleveland's table for
the purpose of dipping his fingers iu the
presidential salt and partaking of a
square meal may have much future
significance to the Iemocracy. If it
foretells the burying of old political ani
mosities and the working together in
the future of these gentlemen in the lest
interests of the party that created them,
then the rank and tile of the party will
have much to be thankful for. It is a
good thing to lock the stable even after
the horse is stolen as it may preserve
what is left.
Usher the legislative reapportion
ment there is a probability that Lacka
wanna will gain one member, making
five representatives in the lower house,
says the Scranton Tiiiux. Theniemlier
ship of the house of IS'.'7-S will be 202,
a loss of two from that of the house
about to assemble. The following coun
ties gain members: Allegheny, 5; Blair,
1, Clearfield, 1 ; Luzerne, 1; Northum
berland, 1; Jeffeison, 1. Losses are ex
perienced of one inemlier each in Adams,
Bedford, Bradford, Chester, Clarion,
Columbia, Crawford, Huntingdon, Lan
caster, Lawrence, Mercer, Schuylki!1.
Somerset and Wayne. These :-.re
changes which come from the constitu
tional provision, and which the legisla
ture cannot control.
The London "Statist," high financial
authority, points out that none of the
gold that has been lately shipped from
New York is being retained in Ixnilon,
but goes to the continent. And in ex
planation the "Statist" says that the
Bank of England is offering for Ameri
can gold less than it paid a year ago, and
the further fact, which is decisive, that
rates are higher in Paris than in Ixmdon.
The ratee in Londou have been less than
2 per cent for several months, while the
rates, in Paris have been nearly 1 per
cent. As the rate is twice as high, mon
ey can be much more profitably employ
ed on the Paris bourse than on the Ixn
don stock exchange.

cial 'legislation at this s-ssion. but he
h:is hail the subject under con-ideration
and will gladly send iu a siiei ial mes

c.trtic c.itu'ii- i m the Carlisle eurreni-y re
form bill will go over to next iik. ,
gener-il debate on the bill continuing j
meanwhile in the nous 1
The idea of the Democratic leaders in
in the house is to try to meet all reason
able objections to the Carlisle bill bv
amendments and then to put the oill
through the house by a majority so
large that the senate will be compelled
by puMic opinion to act upon the meas
ure. They wish to get the iullest jv--i-b!e
attendance at theeaueus and to have
everv obieetinn to the bill frankly Stated
There is no desire to puzzle anybody, or I
to ask anyone to vote for the bill who ,
cannot be convinced that it is at least a
i.-n towards relief.
Notwithstanding ail the wild talk
aUmt Democratic opposition to the j
Carlisle bill, your correspondent unhesi-..,t;.TK-
...... ,11. -is that when the bill is
put upon its linal passage m the house
there will not be - Democratic votes
recorded against it. Ret the bid may
le considerably changed by amend
ments before it is voted upon. What
ever is done wi-h it, it should in the end
be passed (even if it did not deserve to be
on its merits), a- a vote of conti 1 me by
a Democratic Congress Democratic

President Cleveland ami Secretary
Smith have a riht to feel proud of a
compliment paid them bv Captain 1. H.
Kay, U. S. A. . who is at present in
Washington. Captain Kay has done
duty among the Indians for thirty years
and who is at the present time in charge
of the Shoshone and Arappahoe Indian
agency in Wyoiiii,'. said d iring aeon

in the West I have never known an

wav as the present The Secretary of

' bias, done in every instance his best to
promote the inters;.-of tiietribis and
the government, and from my mn
! observation I think that he has th.i.- far
been very successful.
Kpresentalive Uiickner, of Wisconsin,
is a never say-die s i t of a Democrat
He says:" Wisconsin has two Democrat
ic Senators now, and it is by no means
certain that she will have anv less two
years from now. It is true that about
one-half of the present senate will hold
over and that a majority of them are
Republicans, but if the Democrats in
in Wisconsin pull themselves together
and start out with a new organization I
see no reason whv we should not elect
a Democratic legislature in Wn '"
Speaking of the outlook for legislation
by this congress Mr. Rrickner said :"
The Democrats can pass a financial bill
unless the Republicans in the senate
interpose dilatory tactics an 1 prevent
action. If nothing is done in the
senate the responsibility will re-t with
the Republicans, and then if an extra
session is the re.-ult the country will
Speedily understand who is to b'ame.
The pathway ahead for the Republicans
is by no means free from thorns."
Secretary Carlisle very properly de
clines to discuss the ab.-urd story that
Mr. J. Pierpout Morgan had been sent
to President Cleveland by a syndicate
of bankers to a.-k that the Secretary
of the Treasury be removed. A more
preposterous story was never starte.l
upon its rounds. It is altogether
probable that any man who presented
a request of that sort to President Cleve
land would be. as he would deserve to
be, kicked out of the executive office
Such a request would be an assumption
that the finances of the government
must be administered to suit the bank
ers, regardless of everybody else, and
such an assumption would be a per-onai
insult to the l'resinent of the United
States
Treasury officials now only await the
appropriation to start the maehinery
for the collection for the income tax.

1 lie Miners are Pop-rale.
Dubois, Jan. 7. It was learned here
to-day that the miners held a secret
meeting at Keynoldsviile Saturday after
noon. What was done at the meeting
cannot be learned, further than that a
call was issued for a general meeting of
miners and citizens to be held iu this
city to day, w hen the strikers will
publicly define their grievances and
ask for aid and sympathy from the pub
lic. Fifteen hundred men are out, the
apparent cause of the strike being the
discharge of -PH men from the Bell,
Iewis and Yates mines, last week. The
miners of this region only resumed work
in June after a protracted and fruitless,
struggle of several months. The miners,
say they believe the company is trying
to disrupt their union, and that they will
fight until starvation again compels
them to submit.

W .1. Kyan was pinned in his cab and

Longsdorf, of Smithville. who had lieen

Conductor Joseph Ramus of Norwalk,
jumped from thetrain when he saw that
the collision was inevitable, breaking an
arm and fracturing three ribs. He
walked to Massillion, where a physician
found that he had sustained internal
injuries that will probably cause his
death. George Parri.-h. of Orrville, and
John Berkhart, of Massillion, were seri

A Priest Assaulted.
San Francisco, January 5. Rev.
Kath r Peter D Brady, rector of the par
ish ot St. Mary's College, has leen the
victim of a fiendish assault in his home,
receiving several dangerous wounds.
At i" v. m. a well dressed man called
at the rectory, asking to see the priest
on business. He was shown into a dim t
ly lighted parlor, and, when the priest '
' entered, demanded money. "Mayle I '
. have no money for you," answered
Father Brady. With oaths and vile
j names, the stranger sprang on the priest
I with an open knife, stabbing him above
the left eye, turning the blade and mak i
! ing a triangular cut. Father Brady tried
i to Mis'n nis assailant away, his right
i hand touching the stranger's face,
j The villain caught the priest's finger
in his mouth, biting through the hone.
He still gripp d the finger with his teeth,
mean while stabbing Brady through the
nostrils, on the cheek, and cutting his
mouth, so that it was an inch larg r.
Then he beat the priest into insensibili
ty with his lists and quietly left the
house.
Father Brady was afterward discovered
by his housekeeper. Physicians believe
he will recover.
