Is Mexico a law imposes the penalty

The leather Trust, which controls
four fifth of the tanneries in tke country
and has a capital stoc k of $120,000,000,
has so increased the price of leather
within a year that sh es have also gone
up at last. Within K' months the
rrics of irx zed kid have risen 15 to 30

per cent., according to its grade, and
cowhide and sole leather have gone up
100 per cent. Shoes have consequent
bee n advanced by manufacturers from
10 to 30 cents a pair.
The postotlice business of the United
States is a big factor in the running af
fairs of the country, both from the gov
ernmeut's standpoint and that of the
people. It is stated by an authority
that the people of the United States use
on an average 1 2,000, 000 postage stamps
of all kinds each aud every day of the
year, or a total of about 4,30,000,1)00
ner annum. It is somewhat ditticult to
grasp the magnitude of the postal busi
ntss as computed in stamps.
Skcretaky Mortos has not a very
high opinion of the busine.-s sense dis

last congress, as he has shown by his re
fusal to i-pend $108,000 appropriated to
buv seeds for free distribution. He this
we k cittd another instance vf bad bus
intss legislation. Congress authorized a
new edition of what is popularly known
as the '"House Book." These books
will cost the government about 00 i-tnts
each, and Secretary Morton says the
tame uuantitv could have been
bought from the dealers in gov
erument publications, who buy largely
from congressmen, for 40 ceuts each.
Secretary Morton is not alone in think
ing such legislation unbusinesslike.
Is the first of the series of best 3 in 5
races, between the British yacht, Valky
rie HI, and the Yankee yacht, Defender,
Saturday, the American vessel won.
The race took place outside of Sandy
Hook and was 15 miles and return. It
fc-as witnessed by 30,0(0 persons. The
official time was: lefender, 4:50.55;
Valkarie 111,5:08.44. The race is for
the American cup and the yacht cham
pionship of the world. The second ot
the races took place on Wednesday aud
was won by the British yacht as describ

Since the alove was in type we learn
that the yacht committee sustained the
protest made by the Defender and
awarded the race to her on account of
the foul by the alkyrie. Xuis gives
the American boat two races.
The Quay reform "movement, says
the'Harrisburg 1'atrint, is developing the
height of absurdity. There are Repub
lican newspaiiers that are familiar with
the record xnd the methods of Quay that
lay themselves open to suspicion of ad
vocating anything to win or of being di
rected by gudgeons. Unity inaugurated
his reform movement because he need
ed votes. He was practically whipped
the announced his very moral intentions
But "when the devil got well the devil a
monk was he." Quay cannot abandon
practical polities to become a reformer
without risking defeat and extinction by
a practical politician who of course is
nol a reformer.
Oue of the most enthusiastic of the
Quay orgs us, irritated by publication of
the truth concerning his campaign of
reformation, reprints the principal
planks of his high moral platform and
then declares that whoever, Democrat,
Republican or Mugwump, "lays an ob
stacle in the way of enforcing the prin
ciples which Senator Quay has so em
phatically laid down, cannot be a friend
of good government. We had been
expecting this, aud we shall from time
to time call attention to the progress of
the principles laid down by Senator
Quay and now he and his lieutenants
support them.
Mr. Quay is now certain that his
friends really Quay will control the
next state delegation to the national con
vention. It is, in the opinion of Quay
the politician, to his interest that he
control this delegation, no matter what
Quay the reformer may think about it.
It may not be exactly in line with re
form politics, but it is good macmne
politics. Besides, he has been Mattered
as president maker by leading journals
aud he proposes making a president if
he can. To this end the state delega
tion is necessary. He means that men
friendly to him and who will submit to
his dictation shall compose this delega
tion, and he will use the corrupt power
of the machine to create a delegation to
his liking,
It is said that if Quay bring out a
candidate for United States senator
against Cameron the man will be J.
Hay Brown. What business has Quay
to bring out any man for United States
senator or any other office? Why should
a reformer slate candidates and elect
them? Is it possible, where good gov
ernment exists, for an individual to con
trol the political affairs of a state aud to
make presidents and United States sen
ators? Is reform compatible with the
one man power.'
Quay's principles will never get be
yond the platform stage. Already what
he said and promised in the agony of
expected defeat is distasteful in the
serenity of realized victory. It should
le the earnest endeavor of every lofty
minded citizen of this state to defeat
Quay and his principles.

Binghamton. N. Y., September 8
For befriending au apparently friend
less old man. Miss Jennie Brown, a fac
tory girl of this city, has been made an
heiress. William Brown was a resident
of Newark, N. J., aud receutly his wife
died, leaving him alone except for three
sisters and his distant relative.
He was apparently in indigent circum
stances, and was coldly received by the
sisters. Jennie, however, pitied the old
man s forlorn situation, and did all sbe
could to make life as comfortable as
possible for him. The sisters, smiled,
but did not object, and when at last the
old trentlemeu died little interest was
shown in the event.
After the funeral, however, an attor
ney announced that Mr. Brown had left
a will. This caused a sensation, as his
relatives supposed jhe had nothing to
leave. None was more astonished than
Miss Jennie, aud her surprise was over
whelmiutr when it was announced that
she was the sole heir to $45,01 K), which
Brown had ac umulated without letting
anyone know it.

from the west a few days ago to attend
the wedding of Miss Dora Schwickey
and Samel Liebman, which took place
on Saturday, at the home of the bride's
pareuts. Miss Schwickey is popular in the
Brownsville district, aud there were
many guests at the reception. The
dancing continued until far into mid
night.
Young Estes was the master of cere
monies, and at the supper toasted the
bride and groom. Early in the morning,
while waltzing with the bride, he sud
denly turned pale, threw up his hands;
fell to the lloor and died almost instant-
In the excitement of the moment
three women fainted. The dance was

The Demociatic Congressional Com
mittee does not as a rule take any part
in strictly state campaigns, but the cam
paigns in Utah, which will send two U
S. Senators and one Representative to
congress, has leen made an exception
and the committee has been aiding the
Democrats in every way posssible. In
view of the vote at the last territorial
flection, liepublican 21,000, Democrats
10,000, aud popniists 500 neither party
Lad any reason to fei 1 over confident of
the result of the pic ent campaign.
The only thing absolutely certain about
Utah is that its congressional delegation
will be solid for silver, and that one of
the new seuators will be a (ientile and
one a Mormon. The congressional del
egation will be for silver lecause it
would be impossible for either party to
elect any other, and the leaders of both
parties have agreed about the senators.
Judge Ewing, of Fayette county, in
the course of his charge to the Septem
ber grand jury, said: Under the law
each township is held responsible for the
condition of its roads and upon each de
volves the duty of preparing and main
taining the public highways -within its
txirders. " Any damages which result
from the bad condition of the roads can
le collected from the district in which
they are received. The supreme court
has decided that the act of the legisla
ture says a bicycle is a vehicle and has
therefore the same rights aa other vehi
cles. The manner of the propulsion
and the number of wheels have nothing
to do with it. They are conveyances
for traveling and therefore vehicles
The law Bays the roads shall be put in
shaie for the passage of all vehicles and
and since the bicycle has become a vehi
cle, under the law, it is required that the
roads be put in better condition. Any
one who knows anything about the use
of bicycles knows they require a better
road than the ordinary four-wheeled ve
hides. The bicycle, he concluded, has
the same right to demand that the roads
le put in proper condition for its easy
passage over them as the other vehicles
which have been in common use for
years, it tne roads are not in proper
condition for the bicycles the wheelmen
are entitled to damages for injnries the
same as persons injured while traveling
jo other conveyances.
The Democratic convention at Will-

Benjamin F. Myers, of Harrisburg,; for

Harman Yerkes, Bueks; James S.
Moor head, Westmoreland; Peter P.
Smith, Lackawanna; Charles N. Noyes,
Warren; Oliver P. Bechtel, Schuylkill,
and Christhopher Magee, Allegheny,
and adopted the following platform:
First The Democratic party in state
convention assembled hereby renews its
allegiance to and declares its faith in the
principles of Democracy as formulated
by Jefferson and illustrated by Madison,
Monroe, Jackson and Cleveland. It
congratulates the American people Uou
the first fruits of the Democratic admin
istration, which inherited" from its Re
publican predecessor a bankrupt treas
ury, unwise financial legislation, im
paired public credit and widespread dis
aster, and, which under the sagacious,
courageous and patriotic leadership of
its great president, Grover Cleveland.
led the people out of the slough of dr s
pond to the high ground and justly
merited and received the almost univer
sal approbation of the jieople of this
commonwealth.
Eight We especially invite thesober
consideration of the people of this state
to the remarkable factional struggle in
the Republican party, a struggle which
involved no principle or public policy,
but simply the supremacy of factional
leaders. The worst arraignment at our
hands of Republican misrule falls short
of what representative Republican news
papers and leaders testified of each oth-
er. ihe admitted prostitution of the
public service, the intervention of cor
porate influences, the misuse of judicial
appointments, and the consequent pros
titution of the judiciary, the corrupt use
of money in the purchase of delegates,
the attempted terrorism at Harrisburg
by men of the most abandoned tvne.
fix the high water mark of political de
bauchery. It Kut needed to complete
ita infamy, the transparent hypocricy
which led a convention, thus constituted,
to adopt "with laughter" resolutions
concerning the very methods by which
its delegates had been selected.
Such condemnation of "the growing
use of money in politics, the corj.orate
control of the legislature, municipal
councils, political primaries and elec
tions; the enslavement of public officers
and employees; favoritism in granting
contracts and to granting of exclusive
franchises In public necessities," while
valuable as evidencing the truth of the
accusations of the Democratic party in
the last quarter of a century, yet com
ing from the very source which is re
sponsible for these evils, constitute the
crowning insult to the intelligence of
a forbearing and long suffering people,

Houghton. Mich., Sept. 8 Thirty- '
five doomed men are entombed in the
Osceola copper mines, with no Mssibility
of recovery of their bodies until a fire
which has started at noon yesterday is
extin 'lushed, which may not be for
montns.
The lire started on the 37th level,
2.Gi'M) feet below the surface. The under
ground workings are heavily timbered
with pine and as the fire spread it gen
erated great quantities of carbonic acid
gas, which sank to the lower level, so
that death from suffocation is certain to
all in the mine.
It is the opinion of some of the oldest
officials of the mine that the fire was the
work of an incendiary. They say there
is no other reason for the fire started in
that portion of the mine, as no oil waste
or rubbish is used or accumulated there,
iiid the timber work is out of reach of
the lamps of the miners' hats.
All the doomed miners might nave
escaped had they heeded warnings, as
Capt. Edwards, who was the lirst to
detect the existence of fire, dispatched
messengers to every slope where tne
miners were working. By going a
roundabout way, all the men in the
lower level of No. 4 shaft might have
escaped, but they preferred the shorter
route of assent by that shaft, ana when
they got up to the ISth level they found
themselves cut off. Some passed into
lateral drifts, expecting; to reach other
shafts.
Capt. White descended with Anton
Secysk, who said he had left his father
on a lower level, but Secysk los his
head, and tending him unmanageable
Capt. White abandoned him to his fate,
pushing forward to the south workings
of the mine and reaching the
surface in safety the only one of the
party in No 4 shaft to escape. He
reported that the trammen had offered
to carry one of the drill boys to the sur
face but the boy was so frightened he
refused to move and was left to perish.
Business, 31en as Firebugs.
Monteal, Sept. 8. The greatest arson
conspiracy that has ever.beeuiconeoted in
America was unearthed here yesterday.
Warrants are out for ten of the most
prominent merchants in the city, and
three of them have already been arrest
ed.
The thing started with the arrest of
three men, Jenkins, Moore andClores.
About five weeks ago. these men were
arrested for setting fire to the wholesale
store of Boyd, (Jilles A Co, Boyd, the
senior member suddenly left for Euroje,
and when Clores, after his arrest, turned
Queen's evidence, it was found that
Boyd was connected with the matter,
approved of it and procured part of the
receipts which the insurance adjusters
awarded as damages.
The evidence showed that there was
a widespread conspiracy, which has
ramification in the States and all
through Canada, It was found that the
conspirators were in the habit of setting
fire to places by means of a clock-work
arrangement. This was made of an
alarm clock with the bell taken off.
On top was a thin glass bowl of sulphur
ic acid and below it a IkjwI containing
menthlylatcd spirits. When the hour
came for the clock to strike the alarm
the hammer broke the glass bowl, and
the sulphuric acid burst into llame,
igniting the building.

4 Deserter Loses His Life.
Chicago, September 11. Privates
Williams and Coffee, two deserters re-
strained at Fort Sheridan, twenty miles
north of here, attempted to escape this
morning while working in the rear of
the hospital.
Private Christ, who was on guard du
ty, detected them and ordered them to
halt. They refused and the soldier fired
a number of shots at them in quick suc
cession, killing Coffee and wounding
Williams. Williams succeeded in es
caping, although pursued by a numler
of soldiers. Coffee s lody was taken to
the tort. The top of his head had been
blown completely off aud his death was
instantaneous. He was regarded as a
rough customer.
A Woman Alter Her Child.
San Bernardino, Cal., September 9
A woman passed through this city who
had crossed the desert on a brake beam.
She was discovered three daj-s ago near
Dagget by the crew of a freight train.
She was dressed as a toy, but as soon as
the trainman brought her from under
the car "they were convinced she was a
woman and she finally admitted that
she was. She refused to disclose her
identity, but said she and her husband
had been living in an eastern city and
he had deserted her, taking with him
their little girl. She heard he was in
Oregon, and had placed the little girl in
an orphanage, and, being without mon
ey, she started out to beat her way.
Both Eyes Destroyed.
Pittsburg, September 11. Dr. George
A. Henderson, a dentist, is at the West

eyes were destroyed and it is feared that
portions of his throat have been pene
trated. James A. Carev, of No. 731
Fifth avenue, also received a part of the
contents of the gun in his left shoulder.
His injuries are not serious. The shoot

Female Crook Arrested.
Terre Haute, Ind., Sept. 8. Assistant
Superintendent G. D. Curtis, of the
Adams express company, arrived here
at an early hour this morning from
Columbus, and is making a thorough
investigation of the robbery of the com
pany's safe by its local cashier, J. Don
Garden, the city agent of ths Vandalia
railroad, J. Robert Barnett, is known to
be implicated in the crime, but it has
not yet been disclosed if, in addition to
his particpation in the express company
robbery, he has taken a bunch of Cali
fornia tickets. Barnett was checked up
on the 1st instant, and therefore could
not have stolen more than $200 or $300
in cash from the Vandalia road.
To-day's disclosures develop the fact
that the roblery has been planned :or
the last three months, aud it is ascer
tinned to-uight that both Garden and
Barnett had packages of money in their
possession before leaving town Jrnday
night.
The belief is widespread that Garden,
who for many years past, has been a
trusted employe of both the government
and the express company, would not
not have run away with so small a sum
as $16,000, or $18,000, the amount con
ceded by the express company's officials
as have been stolen.
