The cry of non-partisanship in the common pleas judges' contests through out the state is being raised by some Eei publicen organs. They still cling to the idea of electing all of their six candi dates for superior court ju.fge. Theirs is certainly a one sid-d non-partisan scheme. Tmekk are more thau a million opera tives who are not only receiving better wages than ever before, but are assured of work every working day in the year, who can be relied upon by the farmers and otner producers to stand with them in the great coming battle between prosperity and McKinleyism. The total area of the public lands in the United States, exclusive of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, which have but small and isolate tracts, is in round numlers 000,000,000 acres. The sur veyed lands are 314,000,000 acres, and the unsurvryed 20,000,000 acres. There is room here for a great many farms, but the best of the land has been tiken up, especially 'hat cf any future speculative quality. It is a sign of the times that a quiet drift is setting in from the west to the outh, where there is plenty of cheap and fertile land. Home of the ultra Protectionist organs have reached the conclusion that the tariff cuts no figure in the campaign. They were never more mistaken in their lives. The Wilson tariff measure is very much in evidence this year. The noise and bustle of increased industry are heard on every hand, and the be; etit of increased wages is being felt too well to give the voters any chance to lose sight of the wi?e administration of the Demo racy. The people were hasty last year. Their eyes are open, ami they are now able to sift the wheat from the chaff and will not le fooled longer by empty as sertions and impos.-ible prophecies. With the facts before them, they cannot fail to see the justice of supporting the Democratic ticket in its entirety. The question as to how many candi dates for judges of the superior court each elector is entitled to vote for, now rests with the Dauphin county court. Attorney General MiCormick presented a petition to ti.e court at llarrisb.rg on Wednesday morning for a mandamus on Secretary of the Commonwealth lUcder to direct him to arrauge the of ficial ballot so as to give each voter the privilege to vote for seven candidates. He said the question is of such grave i mportance, and is the subject of such conflicting opiuions among eminent counsel and judges, that he deemed it of the utmost importance to hare it deter mined before the expiration of the time for sending out the ballots. M. K. Olm sted, of Harrisburg, argued in favor of voting for seven candidate. Ex Deputy Attorney General Stranahan, acting for Secretary Keeder, offered opposiug ar gument. The court took the papers and stated that it would make a speedj- de rision. One solitary hair seems a very small thing, but, says the New York World, it is the most important part of an important machine in the cap.itol at Washington. The machine warms and ventilates the house, the seuate and the various committee rooms, and runs sev eral electric dynamos. Its most curi ous feature is the appliance for telling the proper tenierature of the air in the building. A ilial arranged like a clock marks different degret-s from 0 to 100; 0 means perfectly dry air, 100 saturated air, i. e., air carrying all the moisture it will hold. Human hair absorbs moisture like a rope, becoming shorter when it is wet, in the same way. The hair here is six niches long. The difference in length .ctween it when wet and when dry stands for the 110 degrees of moisture on the dial, and as the moisture of the hair varies the poiuter on the dial moves. According to the necessity more fcteam is thrown in or steam is allowed to escape, the atmosphere being in this way regulated and kept at a healtny point. Oxe of the t-f f ects? of free trade in wool, says the Philadelphia lltcnrd, is witness ed in the exjtortation of considerable quantities of the American clip. Under McKinleyism American manufacturers could not import the rest varieties of foreign wool, while American wool was kept out of foreign markets. But now there is no doubt that foreign manufac turers wiil become acquainted with the good qualities of many varieties of American wool. At the same time, American manufacturers will continue under free trade to import the finest for eign ileeces. Should the wool duties be restored they will stop importing all but the coarsest class, and a large part of their manufacturing will stop with it. It is a significant fact that the manufac turers are not asking tr a revival of the wool duties. After a while they will summon up sullicient resolution to pro test against a policy which threatens so jxiuch detriment to their interests. Dlt.ixg a recent icterview" General Mi'.es, the i.evv- commander ia chief of the United -iat.-s s-niy, vas asked what he thought would Up the next advance in army ni.mers. He rep'ied: "I( will probil'iy be in the line of transportation of men and equipment. The bicycle an.1 the horseless vehicle will have n.uch to di with the wars of the future. Put an army on bicycles and their opp.cieiir.-s would I, at their mercy.if not similarly equiped. The bicycle troops could feed off the supplies of the enemy's country. They could move so rapidly that the others could not catch them. They could choose their own positions and lly from one point to another at a few hours' notice. They could forestall supplies and have every position of advantage, both in attacking and retreading Take the horseless car riage. The French have shown that some such vehicle will go at the rate of 10 miles an hour and at the same time carry tour persons. They had a com parative race for such vehicles from Paris to Bordeaux and return, a dis tance of 750 miles, and the average Seed was 10 miles per hour. The dif ferent motive powers used were steam, ( electricity, naptha and petroleum. Pe troleum came out ahead, and the amount used was very small, a single gallon carrying a small carriage over 100 miles travel. There is no doubt that such vehicles can le utilized in place of horses. I am glad of it. The horse has been the slave of mankind for thousands of years, and it is time that he should have a rest." This year $'.'.5,000 will be expended on the State Department of Agriculture, It will be for the farmer to judge wheth er he is getting such an adequate return tor such an enormous draught on the public funds. lie will certainly ac knowledge that his taxes are no lighter. What does he say to a salary of $7,000 for the secretary, and $0,000 for the deputy secretary'? The economic zoolo gist is certainly a very expensive oflicial at $5,000 a year. The commissioner of forestry, the dairy and food commis sioner and the state veterinarian don't have to worry about crops and rain and blight and interest on mortgages with $5,000 salary each per year. The chief clerkship is an enviable job. at $3,1.00, while the clerks to the economic zoolo gist and the commissioner of forestry live high at $3,000 each a year. The officials of the agricultural department travel in state and luxury at a cost of $10,000 a year while the expenses of the dairy and food commissioners are ex pected to foot up $23,000 They have a stenographer in this department and he gets $1,000 a year, while the messenger worries along at $1,200. Of all this big expenditure, the farmer only catches a glimpse at the result of the appropria tion of $15,000 fir farmers' institutes. Farmers are you going to continue to keep such an expensive political party in power. The public grouuds and buildings at Harrisburg must be kept in order, but the Republican party, always on the jump for the m in chance, has used this department for the purpose of mak ing a big raid on the public treasury. In 18'.3, the management, improve ment and repairs to the public grounds and buildings cost only $32,342. In 1W3 the expenditure is put down at $77,01'., or an increase of $43,277. The present administration was very lavish in providing for this department. The superintendent must be a great favorite or an extraordinarily valuable man, as his salary was increased from $2,800 to $0,000. Then he was also supplied with a bookkeeper at $3,000, a mechan ic at $1,800, a night watchman at $1,800, a gardner at $2,000, an assist ant gardener at $1,800, a sergeant of police at $2,000, besides $1,800 worth of extra elevator men. An increase of $10,000 was made to keep the grounc's iu repair; a $0,l00 contingent fund was created, while salary increases and im provised charges run the appropriation up to nearly $50,000 excess over two years ago. Voter, are you willing to submit long er to the rule of a party, that spends public money in this profligate manner? Surely it can le stopped by voting the entire Democratic ticket this fall. Naturally the Republicans claim that the Wilson tariff law is a failure because it does not provide revenue enough, and already the howl is started for a revision of the tariff when con gress meets. Thi is inspired by the old trust and coronation syndicates who have been robbed of their monstrous profits through the operation of lower tariff rates. The Democrats will find a way of securing the government without resorting to the Republican method of taxing the poor man for the benefit of the rich. A little patience will reveal to all interested that the present adminis tration knows what it's about. The bondholders are the oily men who are alarmed at present. The country has had enough of agk tation, and the people don't want it re vived by either party. It has had a most disastrous effect on trade and indus try. Now that the agitation has ceased and the consequent business depression has disappeared, it would be reckless aud ruinous to revive it. Industry is reviving, and better times coming. For heaven's sake let the tariff alone. Give the country a rest. Don't foment an agitation that can only have mischiev ous consequences. Business men, manufactures and wage workers must all cry out against any further tariff tinkering. The South Carolina constitutional con vention has adoptee! a section forbidding the granting of a divorce for any cause and not allowing recognition of divorces granted in other states. Five masked and armed men held up an electric street car in the outskirts of Chicago and secured $200 from the pas- fengets. NashiuWm .ttr. Washington, D. C, Oct. 5th, 1SV3. "Lots of seuseles-f twaddle is being in dulged in about Cuba, by men who nuzht to know better," remarked a gpn tleman prominently connected with the administration. 0.i? might suppose from the contents of the newspprs that it was merely a question of sympathy as to the position maintained by the ad ministration. As a matter of fact sym pathy is not a factor. The government is controlled by international law and prudence. For this government to rec ognize the government which the Cuban revol ationists have established on paper, but which has as yet neither location nor habitation, would be equivalent to declaring war against Spain for the purpose of aiding Cuba to gain its in dependence, or to opening our treasury to demands for indemnity which Spain could and would make upon us if we kept our hands off and the revolt was put down. If we assumed the right to openly assist Cuba we should probably find ourselves involved in a war with more powerful opponents than Spain. When Cuba sets up and maiutains an independent government, as did the Central American colonies of Spain, at the time the famous Monroe doctrine was promulgated, will be time enough for this government to recognize her in dependence. It is simply nonsense to talk of recognizing what does not exist, just because we sympathize with what is sought to lie established. Governments cannot be run on that basis. England had much better grounds for recogniz ing the belligerency of the Southern Con federacy, which had armies, a navy and an established government, and yet an international court of arbitration made England pay dearly for that recognition, in the hard cash that went to pay the Alabama claims. Had the Southern Confederacy succeeded those claims would not have had to be paid." Hon. D. T Murphy, Deputy Commis sioner of Pensions, whose taking part in the .Maryland campaign has knocked the last plank from the rottom of the silly lie about President Cleveland not wishing the Democratic party to carry that state this year, takes a very sensible view of that campaign. After e.xpre.-s-ing the opinion that the state would go Democratic, Mr. Murphy said: "I can not understand how the disaffected Democrats can reconcile themselves to the position they have taken. They seem to think that if they let the Re publicans win this year they can oust them next year. They caunot do any thing of the kind. A Republican vic tory this fall means that the State wiil be in the hands of that party for years If the regular Democracy is deflated this year does any one believe that next j-ear the tail will wag the dog and the regulars, who are iu a large majority, will go to work to help the bolters? It is hardly common sense to rely upon such a situation. No, sir; the Demo crats if they want to control Maryland, must not let it go out of their grasp this year. The attempt to start a Lincoln oom. by giving it out that Ex-President Har rison was in favor of the nomination of ex-Secretary Lincoln fell very tlat in Washington. Mr. Lincoln is too well kuown here. His abilities were thorough ly sized up when he was secretary of war, and the verdict was unanimous that it was away below the presidential. "Had Bob Lincoln been a man of one tenth of the ability of his father, instead of the well dressed, well-fed, nonentity he is," said a Republican who has helped to make and uumake candidates for his party for more thau a genera tion, "his name would long ago have made him the presidential candidate of his party." Se.iator Blackburn came to Washing ton to attend the marriage of his daugh ter, Miss Lucille, to Mr. Thomas F. Lune, of X. J., which occurred Tuesday, but he returned to Kentucky the same night to resume his campaign. He said the Democrats were going to elect the State ticket and the legislature, and that his return to the senate was assured. Secretary Carlisle told Ex Representa tive of La., now collector of Customs at New Orleans, w ho called to see him iu behalf of the sugar planters, that he could do nothing except to expedite a hearing of their claims for bounty by the court of claims, in accordance with the decision of the Comptroller, which he had no power to overrule. For some reason none of the claimants want to ge t before the court of Claims. While no body seems to know just what will be done, it is probable that nothing will be done until after congress will act. m. Two (Jirls Humeri to Death. Birmingham, Ala., October 7 A horrible burning "ccurred at Wood lawn, near Birmingham, last niht. The victims were Ellie and Addie, the 15 and 10-year-old daughters of W. H Evatt; Mr. Evatt himself and his son John, aged 17. The girls died this morning as the result of their terrible injuries. Mr. Evatt is in a bad condi tion and his son John is suffcriug tor turing pains. Evatt and his five children were gath ered in the sitting room. One of the girls, who was reading, asked her broth er John to move a kerosene lamp from the mantel piece to the table it exploded and in a second the dresses of the girls were in a blaze. They at once ran from the room in their agony to the porch, where the open air fanned the flames until they hissed alove their heads. The father and John Evatt did all they could to extinguish the flames and were terribly burned. The two girls died at the same hour this morning. A few months ago Mrs. Evatt died. Mr. Evatt will probably die, but the boy will recover. lilt god Pension Crooks Arrestee!.

Fatal Riot Among Itoatmen. Tonawanda, N. Y., Octoler S. One man was killed and another badly wounded here in a riot among boatmen over the question of loadiug a boat at Scribner's dock. About 150 men were iuvolved in the riot, and several pUtol shots were fired. Captain Phillip, own er of the boats John Graft aud May, was phot in the head as he stood upon his boat, and he died soon afterward. Phil lips' son was struck on the head with a club and knocked insensible. It is be lieved his skull is fractured and death will ensue. Phillips tried to load his toat out of turn, and the other boats luen objected. Hi; lest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report AOLUTE&V PURE rriisheil in Hie Abj. Lorain, O., Octoler G. To-day was appointed for the laying of the corner stone of St. Mary's Catholic church. The foundation for the new building extended for about 10 feet above the oasemeut bottom, and on this founda tion was erected a rough platform, whert the ceremonies were held, and where i--vast Dart of the crowd had collected. It is thought that almost 2,000 people were standing on this rudely constructed floor, when a section of it containing ab 'Ut 300 people, sank beneath its bur deu and precipitatenl them into the pit beneath. The pit resembled an inverted roof of a very steep slant, the ends be ing closed up by stone walls, and into this death trap there were crowded men, women and children, in a struggling, screaming and fainting mass. Those at the top of the mass easily escaped, but when the pit was partly emptied these victims still entrapped could not clamber up the sleep sides, and they trampled over each other in their efforts to s cape like wild animals, the stronger ones getting on top, and the weak being crushed beneath the greater weight. Rosa McGee, a child three years of age, was killed and about forty severely in jured, ten of whom it is supposed fatally, while a numler with crushed limbs will suffer amputation. Notwithstanding the great shock of the accident, the priests succeeded in rjuieting the crowd, and afterward con tinued the services of dedication. Very Rev. Monsiguor ISoff, of Cleveland, de livered the sermon. The statement was made to-night that the contractors are to blame for the accident, poor timbers having been used for the support of the platform. .New and Important Killing. Judge White, of Pittsburg, expressed a new idea last week with respect to the law of beneficial organizations, relating to the standing of members. The suits of Margaret Frjar, widow of Thomas Friar, and Daniel Boyce, executor of Frank Boyce. against the national branch of the Emerald Beneficial assocK ation, actions to recover death benefits, were tried. The defense was that the persons on wnose lives the benefits were said to be due were not in good standing according to the rules and by-laws of the association . In charging the jury Judge White said that in his judgment the words "good standing" referred more to the character of the member than his financial relations to the asso ciation. .The jury returned! verdicts of $300 in favor of the plaintiff in both cases. The case will go to the supreme court. A fioi.l ( raze in Nebraska. Lincoln, Neb., October G. A gold fever has started by the discovery of lacer mines in Seward county, about 25 miles we.-t of this city. Three miles from Milford, a small pleasure resort on the Blue River, is an old gravel pit, out of which the Burling ton Railway has for years been ballast ing its tracks. This has been found to be rich in gold dust. Sand and gravel from several adjacent farms have given equally rich promises. Many assivs have been made, some by Denver as.-ayers, and others by Pro fessor Nicholson, of the State University in this city. In all of them the yield has been from $50 to $H'0 a ton. There is great excitement iu the vi cinity of the reputed find. Land is multiplying iu value ana speculation is active. Terrible Destitution arid Misery. Cleveland, October 8. A few miles east of Cleveland Carl Longowitz has been living with his wife ane children in a filthy shed devoid of furniture. On Saturday their baby, y days old, died. The coroner yesterday found the family in a Imrrible condition. The body of the baby was covered with dirt and was a mere skeleton. The coroner believes death was caused by starvation. A week ago the neigh tors took an 18 month old boy away from the family, and are trying to save his life, lie was on the verge of starvation. Longo witz had seven children. All are dead except the rescued boy, and the neigh bors say all died as the baby did. Long owitz is in jail pending the coroner's inquest, having been arrested after a desperate light with four olluers. ttill Probably be a Murder. John Meyers, a steel worker employed at the Edgar Thompson works, Brad dock, and living at Turtle Creek, shot hie wife iu the back on Monday night, for interfering while he was punishing one of the children. She is thought to be mortally wounded. Myers then ran to the house ( i James Brandfit a neigh bor, revolver in hand, and fired at him. The shot missed, and hatless and coat less, he ran to Port Perry, and from there to Braddock. where he was arrest ed. To Chief of Police George Bennett, he said: "i don't care a d n if they do hang me. I don't care a d n if I did kill her,, she tried to kill me." He claimed that his wife had two revolvers which she tried to use on him before he opened fire. A Speech by Carlisle. Washington, October 7. Secretary Carlisle is preparing a speech which he proposes to deliver in Boston at the opening of the campaign there. It is understood that he will define the ad ministration's policy in regard to finance and give some idea of the recommenda tions he will make in congress for the retirement of the greenbacks and the procuring cf revenue. That speech will in all probability be the keynote of the administration's campaign in the several 6tates where there are elections this fall. Secretary Carlisle will endavor to de fend the coui-seof the treasury and place matters that are now the subject of se vere criticism in a better light. Held np by a Lone Horseman.
