Is Washington City on Wednesday,
Representative Ephraim M. Woomer, of
Lebanon, Pa., representing the Four
teenth congressional district, fell on the
slippery sidewalk and broke his left leg
altove the knee. He lay for some min

until a colored man came along and as
sisted him. The injured man was ta
ken to the Hamilton House in a wagon.
Os Wednesday Governor Hastings
granted a respite for sixty days to James
McMullen who was to have been hanged
at Pittsburg, on Thursday for the mur

ed at the request of McMulIen's attor

the condemned man, and is displeasing
to him, as he was anxiously awaiting
the carrying out of the sentence of the
court.
Is a letter to State Senator McCarrel,
of Dauphin county, on Monday United
States Senator Cameron declines to be a
caudidate for re-election to the United
States Senate. Mr. Cameron makes it
very emphatic saying: "I have not
been, ar.i not now, and will not be a
candidate for re-election to the senate of
the United States." This lets the bars
down and there will be a hungry horde
of Republican sta esmen making for the
gap.
The United States government still
has about 000,000,000 acres of land for
sale. This does not include the territo
ry of Alaska, which alone has about
.".70,000,000 acres, such as they are.
There are also military and Indian res
ervatious, and timber reserves which
will in no time be thrown ojen for set
tlement. It will be seen, therefore, that
we still have land enough for a good
many families when they come to buy
them.

resulted in the Russian government ac

It may be surprising to many people
to learn that the eleventh census of the
United States has not yet been compleS
ed, but promises to be finished soon. It
le luired seven years to complete the
tenth census, and as the eleventh will
be completed in two years less time,
some improvement has been made, but
still it seems to take an unreasonably
long time to make a census, and this
seems to justify the demand, by many
people, for a permanent census bureau to
be engaged at all times in gathering
facts, leaving only the numbering of the
people and and statistics in connection
therewith to be gathered at the decen
nial census. The cost of the latest cen
sus up to June 30, 18'Jo, was 110,531,000

The loud gentlemen such as Boutelle
and Dicgley, in congress, says the Har
risburg l'otiitt. wno lelieve they repre
sent somelxMly. have concluded that
their temporal happiness depends upon
the impeachment of some body or the
recall of a representative of the United
states in a foreign country. These fel
lows 5s;an with Hlnunt, passed on to
the younir man who married a South
sea islander, reached the president at
the last session of congress and now
are trying to have Ambassador Bayard
imjeached.
The offense of Mr. Bayard consists in
having made a speech against protection
at a banquet in Kdinbu g In doing
this he is accused of being unpatriotic,
iusulting the American people and
of being the representative of a party
nstead of the people.
Grave charges these, but are they
true? Who is the patriot.' Ihe man
who loves his country and always speaks
and labors for its advancement. Pro
tection never added anything to the
country s progress. It merely made
millionaires and congress purchasing
"combines." The true patriot votes
against protection every time.
Mr. Bayard did net insult tae Ameri
can people "The people are always
the majority, and the result of the last
three presidential elections will show
who are in the majority. The people
are not worried about Mr. Bayard's
very true remarks.
Following the usual course, Mr. Bay
aid was selected because he is a Demo
crat and an active one. But, as just
shown, he was talking for the majority
of the people when he referred to the
wrong of protection. He pointed out a
fault which the minority has made the
majority suffer for, and in doing so he
couldn't rise above puty because his is
the majority party. Mr. Bayard may
seem indiscreet but nothing more.
It is awful to comtemplate the ruin
wrought in Armenia by the Kurdish,
Turkish and Circassian butchers. With
unparalleled refinement of cruelty, the
assassins, after having satisfied their
thirst for blood, made sure that the sur
vivors of pillage and massacre should
perish by destroying theirstocks of food.
It is estimated that fully 500,000 Ar
menians, mostly women, cnildren and
the aged, who have been deprived of
their natural protectors by the swords of
Moslem, will be compelled to face the
hard winter of Asia Minor without food,
shelter or clothing. The Red Cross
society, the only organization which
could have adequately coped with the
emergency, is denied permission to in
terfere by the sultan lest the unspeakable
horrors of the situation should be re
revealed by the hundreds of agents who
would be sent to the devastated pro
vinces. And all the while the Chris
tian powers have aa armada of battle
ships close at hand, but will not raise a
ringer against the mad or drunken des
pot of Stamboul by whose order or con
nivance the destruction of a race is be
ing accompusnea.
The statesmen of Europe should be
ware lest the execrations of their peoples
be turned away from the Turk and
hurled at their too deliberate heads!
This is what the Hon. Thomas F
Bayard said and for the saying of it Re
publicans have threatened him with im
peachment:
"In my own country I have witness
ed the insatiable growth of that form of
state socialism styled protection which,
I believe, has done more to foster class
legislation and create inequality of for
tune, corrupt public life, banish men of
independent mind and character from
public councils, blunt public conscience,
and place politics upon the low level of
a mercenary scramble than any other
single cause. Step by step, and largely
owing to the confusion of civil strife, it
has succeeded in obtaining control of
the sovereign power of taxation, creat
ing the revenue into an engine for sel
fish and private profit (its allied benefi
ciaries and combines are called trusts),
and gradually the commercial marine of
the United States has disappeared, the
few vessels lately built being an excep
tion and proving the rule, as they were
only built by making a breach in the
general tariff and navigation laws."
Now, what's the matter with this
thoughtful, truthful statement?
Is answer to an inquiry as to the
proper construction to be placed upon
section i) of the "Return of Personal
property," in which insurance policies
are required to be taxed "at their value
at the time of assessment" the auditor
general of the state has made the follow
ing reply: "In cases where a policy has
no surrendei value and where no bene
fit can accrue to the insured or his es
tate until his death, such policy would
have, of course, no taxable value; but
policies, in the case of endowment poli
cies having surrender values are held to
be taxable, the amount at which they
should le assessed depending, in each
case on the nature of the policy, the
amount paid, and the present cash val
ue of the same."
Among the bills intooduced in the

Both the IJuay and combine factions
of the Republican party in Philadelphia

They are both howling for the election

city will be cheated no matter which
side wins.

Washington Letter.
Washington, D. C, Dec , 7, 1S05.
President Cleveland's statement of what
the administration had done to maintain
the Monroe doctrine and his intimation
of what it was prepared to do in that
line w n no play to the grand stunt
The onraerai.h in his message wincn
contained the statement has not a line
or sentence of spreadeiigleim; it merely
notifies the world in diguitied and uiuio
malic language that the Monroe !
triue is not a fautasy, but a tixed tact
behind which is all the strength ot tue
United States. There is a cue for Presi
dent Cleveland in the unanimous sup
port of that portion of his message by
Democrats in both house and senate.
Its hows a possibility of uniting the
Democrats, notwithstanding radical dif
ferences of opinion on the financial
question, and of the party putting up a
stiff fight in the presidential campaign.
Not onlv are the Democrats all pleased
with the president's Monroe Doctrine
talk, but some of the Republicans have
not hesitated to ojen!y commend it
nine tenths of them are committed to
the support of the Monroe Doctrine.,
For instance. Senator Hale, of Maine,
said: "His treatment of our foreign
affairs seems to be conservative and sat
isfactorv " and Senator Ixxlge, of Mass ,
a radical of radicals, said: "In regard
to Venezuela, I am happy to say, the
president has taken an excellent and
sound position."
While President Cleveland's views on
Cuban affairs are not popular with thfse
who allow their sentiment and euthu
siasm to sway their better judgment,
there are many level headed people, in
and out of congress, who believe that he
is correct, but probably not enough to
prevent the adoption of resolutions in
both house and senate declaring in favor
of the recognition of the belligerency of
the Cuban revolmionists. At least
that's the way it looks now. Two such
resolutions have already been introduced
in the senate and similar ones will be
introduced in the house. There will be
some sky-rocket speeches made on these
resolutions, and unless something now
unexpected shall prevent, one will be
adopted.
It seems to be disturbing some people
because the president devoted hia mes
sage exclusively to foreign affairs and
national finances leaving the routine
affairs of the government to the heads
of the various executive departments.
The innovation is an excellent one and
ought to be kept up. Why should the
president go over the same ground in
his message that is covered by the annu
al report of the members of his cabinet,
some of which are made public in ad
vance of his message ?
The president evidently di J not expect
Congress to accept his recommendation
for the retirement of the greenbacks and
treasury notes and the issue of long
time, low interest bonds, upon which
national bank notes might be issued, to
redeem them. That is why he said after
making the recommendation: "I
have suggested a remedy which mv
judgment approves. I desire, however,
to assure the congress that 1 am pre
pared to co-operate with them in perfect
ing anv other measure promising
thorough and practical relief." Now
let congress devote the time it is giving
to jumping on the president's plau to
to the production of a Itetter one.
That's the way to convince the country
that it is more interested in our national
urosneritv than in trying to elect the
next president.
The Republicans in congress will
probably have an early opportunity to
show how siucere their recent shouting

England's reply to the demand of this
government, long delayed, for a
specific answer as to whether its de
mands for the territory claimed by Ven
ezuela would be submitted to arbitration
is now on its way to Washington.
Should it be a refusal to arbitrate, as it
is said to be, l'resident Cleveland will at
once send a special message to congress,
and the Republicans will have a chance
to show what they are willing to do for
the maintenance of the Monroe Doc
crine.
It seems that at last President Cleve
land has succeeded in nominating a man
for a seat on the bench of the United
States supreme court who is satisfactory
to everybody and whose nomination will
le unanimously confirmed by the senate.
The lucky man is Judge Rufus W. Peck
ham, now a member of the appellate
court of New York, a life-long Demo
crat, and a brother to W. II. Peckham
whose nomination to be justice of the
supreme court bv President Cleveland
was rejected by the senate localise of the
opposition of Senators Hill and Murphy.
Among numerous bills introduced in
the house and senate this week were a
numlier providing for the erection of
public buildings in various places at an
aggregate cost of more than eight mil
lions o' dollars. If that sort of thing is
going to be kept up, and the bills passed,
it will certainly become necessary for
congress to provide additional revenue
for the government.

Judge Ewing, of Uniontown I a , in
rendering uis decision in case ior uiu- i
gr-s resulting from an accident to a cy
clist by the roads being iu a bad condi-
tion, says:
"As townships are by law compelled
to keep the country roads in repair, they
are responsible for keepiug them in such
order that the cyclist can ride over them
iu sifety cn his vehicle, and any injury
that results to a by cycle rider by reason
of a poor n a 1 will be the basis of an ac
tion for damages against the township."
A couple of years ago a similar case
was tried in Washington. As a cyclist
was riding aloug the street after dark his
wheel got iuto a hole or rut in the pave
ment which caused the rider to fall,
breaking a limb and the courts decided
that the city was liable to damages.
"There is hardlv a township iu the
United States " says the lUftne, "which
does not contain at least one resideut
bicycle ownr. and the chances are that
there are few which have less than a
dozen When township, village or city
authorities shall be convinced that what
Judge Ewinir has said is true, that they
are to be held responsible for accidcuts
to machine or jerson arising from bad
highways, it will not le long ttefore the
era of road making will set iu with a
vengeance. "

Wilkesbarre, December 5. The ieo-

Phoenix mine in Duryea were thrown
into a state of excitement to day, when
they learned of a case of suspended ani

suddenly ill on Monday night. Every
thing was done by her friends to aid her
but she continued to sink and was ap
parently dead on Tuesday afternoon,
though there had Itven no physician

An undertaker was called to day to pre

when the syringe touched the ili-sh the
corpse opened its eyes aud looked about
in the room in astonishment at what was
going on among the weeping relatives.
The undertaker, who was very much
frightened, ran from the house, procur
ed a physician and with considerable
effort the woman was restored to con
sciousness, and this afternoon she is able
to sit up and con verse with her many
callers. The physician says it was a
case of suse!ided animation. The wo

liquid plaster of pari' is poured. The

limbs contorted and the features drawn
out of shape, just as they were when the
person was overtaken by the flood of red
hot lava l.soo years ago.
