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

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.

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

Three miles from Milford, a small
pleasure resort on the Blue River, is an
old gravel pit, out of which the Burling

from several adjacent farms have given
equally rich promises.
Many assivs have been made, some

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.
