At McClain's Mil!, Ark., several dwell

of whom will die.
The lower court at Washington has
sustained the constitutionality of the in
come tax law, and an appeal has ieen
taken to the supreme court of the Uni
ted States. As that tribunal has sustain
ed the principle of the law in former de
cisions, it will probably do the same, al
though pome of the details of the law
may be ruled out.
Is the house at Harrisburg, on Wed
nesday Mr. Kaston of Potter county in
trodured a bill to establish an additional
hospital for the insane of the district
comprising thecounties of Potter, Tioga,

Center, Huntingdon, Blair, Cambria,
Bedford. Somerset and Indiana, and ap
propriating $0 ,000, for the same.
Thom as IJ. Reed is said to be discour
aging, so far as possible, any general
move on the part of the defeated Repub
lican candidates contesting for seats.
An election contest is almost invariably
a boomerang the unseated contestant
is often returned by the people of his
district by an increased majority. Mr.
Reed fears that the unseating of Demo
cratic candidates miggt thus have a bad
effect upon the presidential campaign of
I ;.
Os Wednesday United States Marshal
Arnold took Eugene V. Debs and other
directors of the A R. U. before Judge
(irosscup in Chicago. AH gave bail in
the sum of $2,000 and were released
from custody. They are now free on
the charge for which they were convict
ed until April 1, as the supreme court
will not legin the hearing of the iints
at issue, which will consume several
days, until March 25. In the meantime
their trial for conspiracy to obstruct in
terstate commerce and the passage of the
mails will tegin.
Thk allegation of discontent is often
made in speaking of the farmers. It
would tie absurd to deny that there is
discontent in the agricultural regions,
and the temporary suc ess of populism
in certain states 13 a proof of it. The
farmer had leen the victim of unwise
tariff legislation, and he has a right to
complain when the sees that the man
who sets up a little shed for the manu
facture of tin plate enjoys privileges of
gain that he cannot claim, though he
is of a hundred times more consequence
in the world's economy.
Ox Wednesday Mr. Child, of Illinois,
introduced in the house at Washington
a bill to incorporate the National Central
Railway company. It creates William
Dallin, J. C. Caldwell, J. W. Reed and
and J. C. Reynolds, of Chicago; John
Bell, of Michigan; John C. Mellinger, of
Indiana; James McPherson, of Ohio,
aud Joseph Barrett, of Buffalo, N. Y..
a tmdy politic and corporate by the
name of the National Central Railway
company aud authorises them to lay out
and equip a railway from a point on the
Hudson river, or from some point in
New York city, to some point in San
Francisco.
The road is to be constructed in the
most improved manner and of the best
materials in the art of railroad building.
The capital stork of the company is to
be 400,OHC,t00. If the company so
elects, the government is to guarantee
the interest upon bonds sold to aid in the
construction of the road.
The main work of the legislators now
says the Harrisburg I'atriot, seems to be
to dump all sorts of good, bad and in
different bills into the hopper. The
work of "obliging constituents" is go
ing on. The pettifogger shapes his
ideas into a measure and the member
turns it into the legislative mill in
the hope of seme way getting
grist that will le satisfactory to himself
if to no one else.
Up to this time the legislature has
been in the hands of the Republican
bosses. They have set in motion the
legislation they desire and they mean to
see what they want and all they want
goes through. The rest can take
chances. If the bosses must and will
get tfeeir own selfish legislation through
will they not at least see that much or
all of the other vicious legislation is sup
pressed or lost?
We appeal to the bosses for help. If
this avails we shall be glad. If it does
not the people must be appealed to
wrench their legislators, by immediate
action, from the clutches of the bosses.
A mix has been introduced into the
legislature, says the Lancaster Inquirer,
making it a misdemeanor for any teacher
in the public schools of the state to wear
distinctively religious garb. This has
grown out of the case wherein the su
preme court of the state decided that the
employment of nuns was not illegal.
The bill in its present form will surely
not paps if it receives the consideration
and discussion to which it is entitled.
The teople of Pennsylvania want no sec
tarian instruction in our public schools,
but they are not bigoted enough to shut
out or forbid the employment of teachers
because they may see fit to wear a dis
tinctively religious garb. Such bigotry
is a thousand times more pernicious than
the sectarianism against which it is os
tensibly directed. .
It would prevent the employment of
Quakers or Mennonites and members of
other religious societies, whose garb dif
fers from that of the general public. It
is a religious persecution of the most
cowardly character, and should receive
no countenance whatever. While all
true friends of public schools ought to
frown down sectarian instruction in
them, they should with equal zeal repel
uy attempt at persecution.
The present congress, says the Phila
delphia Time, is utterly remiss in the
performance of the plain duty to place
our financial system on a sound basis
and supply adequate revenues forthe ex
penditures of the government. The
Democrats, as the majority party, have
not done so liecause they cannot; the
Republicans, with 127 votes in the
house, refuse to do so because they will
not.
Both of the great parties are to day
guilty of recklessly endangering the ere
ditof the government and the prospcri
ty of thecountry. It is well known that
there are enough men of sound financial
views in the two great parties of the
house to unite on a financial policy that
would le acceptable to the country, but
the Iemocrats are hopelessly divided, as
the Republicans would be if in power,
and the Republicans oppose everything
and propose nothing.
A financial bill has now teen in the
house for many weeks but the Republi
can leaders have as yet not proposed a
single amendment or substitute, and
have done nothing whatever but to op
pose everything presented by the major
ity. They are playing the demagogue,
for all will appreciate that such conduct
by any party in congress is neither pa
triotic nor statesmanlike.
Thomas B. Reed could in one day
solve the financial problem if he would
permit the honest men of his own party
to unite with honest men in the lemo
cratic party to pass the best financial bill
that can be agreed upon. The votes are
there to do it, the honesty of pur .xse is
there, anl it is hindered entirely by
represen ta live Recti who is the autocrat
of the Republicans in congress, and has
never permitted them to take any part
whatever in framing a finaucial measure.
It is idle to assume that the Republi
lans can escape responsibility for the
failure of the present congress to enact
proper financial legislation. True, the
Democrats have a n aj rity in the body,
but it is known that a considerable pro
portion of that majority is unsound on
finance, as are very many members of
the Republican party. It is therefore
impossible for honest aud patriotic Dem
ocrats to enact any financial bill without
the aid of honest and patriotic members
of the Republican side.
Public sentiment should demand that
this great question, that rises above all
party considerations or interests, should
be elevated above the plane of partisan
disputes and that patriotism and states
manship, regardless of party feeling,
should come to the rescue of our en
dangered credit and depleted treasury.
Reports from Buenos Ayres, says the
New York Times, concerning the Argeu
tine wheat crop were rather unexpected
and for that reason may exert considera
ble influence upon the market. For
months the prevailing impression as to
the size of the new crop in Argentina
has been discouraging to our wheat grow
ers. From the preceding crop there was
exported to Europe more than 50,000,
000 bushels. The sale of this great ex
portable surplus by a country which did
not produce wheat enough for its own
use a few years ago has been a weight on
the wheat market of the world over. At
the beginning of the Argentine season
which is now closed it was reported that
the wheat acreage in that country had
been increased by 10 per cent, in spite of
the fact that the average price received
by Argentine wheat growers last year
was only 38 cents a bushel, and until
now there has been a general expecta
tion that the Argntine surplus for ex
port would at least le equal to that of
last year.
It is difficult in that country to obtain
promptly any trustworthy estimate of
crop yields or to ascertain the general
condition of the wheat crop while it is
growing or at the time immediately pre,
ceding the harvest. The crop statisti
cian must wait for the final results.
Consequently, there had been, up to
a recent date, no trustworthy reports
from Argentina which could serve to
modify the general impression that the
output would be equal to, and would
probably exceed, that of last year.
Recent dispatches from Buenes Ay res
said that the new crop bad proved to be
a poor one and that the quality of the
grain was below average. There was re
ceived at the Produce Exchange a pri
vate cablegram saying that the new crop
would be smaller than last year's by 35
per cent. It would be unwise to regard
these advices as conclusive, but it seems
probable that the exportable surplus of
the Argentine crop will be considerably
reduced, and that the effect of this re
duction will be beneficial with respect to
the wheat growers of other exporting
countries.
The indications are that the present leg
islature intend seeing the bottom of the
6tate treasury. Bills are now before the
legislature with fair prospects for their
passage, as follows; to increase the sala
ry of the superintendent of banking
from $4,000 to $6,000; to increase the
salary of the superintendent of public
printing to $3,000; to increase the salary
of custodian of public buildings and
grounds from $1,800 to $3,000; and to
give judges after serving twetny years a
salary for life.
Our law makers may not be able to
formulate any legislation that will bring
relief to the Starving miners and tax bur
dened farmers but they may be relied
upon to take care of the pets who get
their fodder at the public crib.
Sexator Pexrose of Philadelphia has
introduced a bill in the legislature at
Harrisburg to amend the act of June 3,
1893. It makes the refusal by an indi
vidual, firm or corporation to pay em.
ployes weekly, in money, a misdemean
or, punishable by a fine not less than
$50, nor more than $200. It also ren
ders null and void the assignment of
weekly wages.

ash initio" Letter.
Washington, D. C , Jan. IS, 18l5.
While there is life in the fifty-third con
gtess Democrats will not cease to hope
for legislation n the line of currency
reform. But candor compels the confes
sion that there is nothing taugible iu
sight in either house or senate at this
writing upon which to build hope. The
situation is" similar to a serious e of
sickness in one's family. No matter
bow serious the doctor may look nor
how low the patient may apjiear to !-,
we hope for a change for the l-!t'r, and
sometimes our hopes are realized, and
sometimes, alas! they are not. Only
time can tell how it will end with cur
rency reform.
Senator Vest, when taunted by Re
publican senators because of the failure
of the Democrats to agree upon a finan
cial biil voiced the opinion of many
Democrats when le said: "I have no
authoiitv to speak for the President, but
I most earnestly hope that if some deli
nite action is not taken by this congress,
the president will call an extra session
as soon as the navel falls at the close of
this session." The Republicans make a
pretense of being indifferent about an
extra session, rut in reality it is the
thing they most dread; they know the
differences which exist in their own par
ty on the financial question, anil wish to
put off the time for action as long as
possible.
. Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, gave
out a statement tins wceK wincn snouici
put an end to all the absurd talk about
enmity between himself and Secretary
Carlisle. He said: My relations with
the secretary of tne treasury both person
al and official, are of the most cordial
kiud. Instead of there being any pur
pose of mine to declare war against Mr.
Carlisle or the administration, the con
trary is true. My views on the silver
questieu are well understood, but there
has never l-en auy idea on my part of
carry lug those views to the extreme of
making war on Mr. Carlisle, Mr. Cleve
land, or any one else. Much le.s would
I tie willing to put in that attitude with
reect to Secretary Carlisle. Our rela
tions are pleasant and cordial, and wili
remain so. So far as I am concerned, I
am ready and willing to do anything I
can, honorably and consistently, to up
hold the treasury and the administra
tion. Any statement attributing other
motives to me, or placing a different
light upon the situation, is absolutely
untrue and unauthorized by me. My
personal attachment to Secretary Car
lisle should have been sufficient to have
discounted all these silly rumors."
Senator Gorman gave some interest
ing figures iu that portion of his speech
that referred to Senator Hill's plea for a
change of the senate rules. Senator
Gorman said no change i:i the rules wa
needed, and to prove that the senate
passes more bills than the house, which
has rules which shut off debate, he cited
the number of bills passed by each in the
following congresses: Forty-ninth,
house 1.S20, senate 1,'.'.'7; fiftieth, house
2,2S4, senate 2,tli; fifty second, house
t?S2, senate 1,242; fifty-third, up to the
lieginuing of the present session, house
'24, senate 724. These figures are in
teresting, and will doubtless 1-e surpris
ing to many.
During a little controversy lietween
Senator Allen, of Nebraska, and Senator
George, of Mississippi, the latter gentle
man said he had long lielieveil in one
plank of the populist platform that for
the election of senators by a direct vote
of the people; whereupon Mr. Allen
shouted tnumphan'ly: ''There is
another accession to the populist party."
"No," retorted Mr. George amidst the
laughter of the senate ami the jieople in
the galleries; "it is an accession of the
populist party to me."
As was expected the house ways and
means committee has made a favorable
rejort on Chairman Wilson's bill for the
repeal of the differential duty imposed
on sugar imported from countries which
pay an exjiort bounty. There will be
no difficulty in getting the bill through
the house, but the prospect in the sen
ate is not very hopeful, although every
body admits that the duty ougnt to be
rejiealed.
The house committee on the judiciary
has decided by a vote of 7 to j that
Judge Ricks, of Ohio, ought to be im
peached, and will report a resolution
providing tiierefore to the house, but
there is not much probability that any
thing will come of it, owing to lack of
time for the trial by the senate at this
session. Representative Bailey, of Tex
as, who was chairman of the sultcom
mittee that went to Ohio to investigate
the charges against Judge Ricks, says
he thinks the matter can lie disposed of
at this session, but that if it isn't he iu
tends to bring it up again iu the next
congress. He fullv believes that Ricks
de Serves impeachment and prutmses to
do all he knows how to see that lie gets
it, if not in this congress, then in the
next. m.

He ared Seven Lives.
East Liverpool, O., January 22.
George Dormou is a 11 year old hero.
He saved seven lives yesterday, and tried
hard to save an eighth, but could not do
it. A party of boys, among them a 13
year-old sou of Frank Summers, the
Wellsville ragman, known all over the
upper Ohio valley, went skating a few
miles west of Wellsville. The ice sud
denly gave way, and the party were
thrown into the water. They succeeded
in keeping their heads above water, and
shouted for help.
George Dorman chanced to tie on the
shore when the ice broke, and hastily
securing a plank ticgan to rescue his
friends. One after another was brought
safe to the shore until the whole crowd
had lieon rescued except Summers, who
could not keep afloat. He made desper.
ate efforts for life. The cold, however,
was too much for his tired limbs, and
with a despairing cry he went down.
The heroic work of the rescuer landed
seven of the boys, but he was almost
heartbroken when he found that burn
ers could not be saved.
Ran Away Kriim M-huol.
I'tica, N. Y. January 18. William
Pitt, who, with two other loys, ran away
from St Vincent's industrial school in
this city a few days ago, whs found
iu a bam alxiut two miles from Herki
mer this morning. His legs were fro
zen, and he is in a very bad condition.
He said li-is companions, Thomas Buck
and Joseph Eckimer were in a piece of
woods alxnit a half a mile from the barn.
An investigation was quickly made and
the Unites of the truants were found in
the woods.
The Herkimer police and the coroner
were notified, and the bodies will be
brought to Herkimer. It is supposed
that the boys, fearing arrest, were afraid
to ask for assistance at a farmhouse or
in Herkimer and that, hiding in the
woods, they tiecame chilled, exhausted
from the excitement and lack of food,
they sat down to test and slept in death.
When they jierished is not yet known.
Their ages ranged from 13 to 15 years.

Beat tlietireen lioods Man.
Jersey City, N. J., January 22. A
man, having the appearance of a coun
tryman, and giving his name as John
Sheffield, of Manchester, N. Y., entered
police headquarters this forenoon and said
he had just got the lest of a green goods
man, at Taylor's hotel. The green
goods man, lie said, took a roll of bills
from the inside pocket of his overcoat
when they were in a liedroom together,
and threw it on the bed, saying: "That
is the kind of stuff were are dealing in."
Sheffield examined the money, and
saw it was genuine. He then struck the
green goods man with a black jack,
knocking him down. He grabbed the
money from the bed and run down
stairs.
Chief Murphy told Sheffield that he
would have to hold him on a charge of
carrying concealed weapons. The chief
took possession of the roll of bills, which
amounted to $1,000.

Washington, "January 21. Secretary
Greshain to day received two cablegrams
from Minister Den by, at Pekin, confirm
ing the reports of the landing of the Jap
anese troots near Chefoo. The first
states thatTeng Chan Fu had been bom
barded by three Japanese ships and that
the American missionaries had left on
the York town.
The second, under date of January 21,
states that it is reported that Teng Chan
Fu, fifty miles north of Chefoo, has been
bombarded by the Japanese, who subse
quently effected a landing on the Shan

This places the Japanese in a position
between Pekin on the west and the great
