Fuom the bitter fiht between Sher

the senate, it is predicted the free coin
ago Uepub'.icaus will withdraw from the
Hi Louit convention.
Jtst nt nresent it looks as if there
would le a contesting delegation from
every southern state to the St. Louis Re
publican convention. McKinley's
agents are frvintr the fat out of the
manufacturers who are anxious and
willing to contribute under the hope
that if McKinley should be nominated
and elected there would be a fixing up
of tariff rates that would compensate
them a hundred fold for their contribu
tions. Fat goes a great way in getting
delegates from the south and McKin
ley's prospects in that portion of the
country are climbing higher.
The Ohio Republican state conven
tiou met at Columbus on Tuesday and
instructed its 4tj delecate to vote for
McKinley. Senator Foraker is chair
man of the delegation and as he has al
ways been credited with having a knife
up his sleeve for McKinley the Ohio
candidate has his state's delegates but
Le has them in very unsafe hands.

Washington, I). C, March 7, 1MG
President Cleveland is once more show
ing the country that when he believes
he is right he will not be swerved by
either congressional majorities or adverse
public opinion. This time it is the Cu
ban question upon which his opiniou is
directly contrary to that of a majority
in congress, which has declared by the
adoption of a concurrent resolution, in
favor of recognition of the Cubans as
belligerents and ot taking steps towards
the independence of Cuba Before the
houso and seuate decided upon the word
ing of that resolution a v-titement was giv
en out by Mr Olney showing that, in the
opinion of the oresident and hiscabinet,
the Cubans were not entitled to recogni
tion as belligerents, and making it plain
that the president would not willingly
accord that recognition until he thought
them entitled to it.
Mistakes have been made before by
President Cleveland, and some of his
most ardent admirers think that he is
making a mistake in not acting iu ac
cordance with the concurrent resolution
against which a total of only 23 votes
wera cast in both branches of congress,
and which they believe to represent the
sentiments of a majority of the citizens
of the United States. Hut whether one
thinks the president right or wrong in
this matter it is impossible not to ad
mire the moral courage of the man who
can stand up iu the face of public
opinion and congress and say; "I will
not do this thing because I do not be
lieve it the right thing to do."
While the president can ignore the

The Republicans, big and little, says
the Pitt.-burg V, believe they have a
certaiuty of electing whoever the St.
Louis convention may nominate. We
would not disturb them in that belief
fur the world. It may lead to ship
wreck, and there are no certainties in
American politics. But this feeling of
puprenie confidence is bringing the
woi-t elements of the party to the front.

If it does not the people have the reme

the basic cause, we. apprehend that it
is to be found in the prevalence of boss

ture of the people. They seem to relish
the fooling of demagogues, and the good
old-fashioned virtues in public affairs are
lost sight of. We have an abiding faith
in the sound common sense of the Amer

ta the danger of representative institu

moralization.

railroad on a sound financial basis, states
that for the reoiganization of the Read
ing railroad in 1SS7 the bill sent in by
the Morgon management was 5 per cent
on the $15,000,000 of capital furnished,
or about $750,000. The cost of the
second reorganization of the same road
in 18'J5 by the same house is said to
have been $050,000 cash. For the re
organization of the Richmond Terminal
in 1S95 the bill was $100,000 in cash
and about $100,000 worth of the stock;
for the Erie reorganization in 1S05 the
charge was 500,000 in cash. Reorgan
izations and receiverships come high,
and are not controlled by any senti
mental ideas in the business. The
tockholdeis and bondholders are crowd

part of American railway policy it is not
strange our railroad securities, except as

With the approval or the president,
publicity was given to the design agreed
on ltween Secretary Lamont and Sec

the t-3 stars in the national flag made
necessary by the administration of Utah

will be officially inaugurated in the ar
my and navy on Julv 4 next. Under
the present arrangement the stars are in
six rows., i tie upper and lower rows of
eight stars each and the other rows of
seven stars each. The design agreed on
oy rnxretanes JJimont and Herbert also
arranges the Stars in six rows, the first
third and fifth of eight stars each and
the second, fourth and sixth of seven
siars eacn. jno new arrangement will

new states, as additional stars can be
added to the second, fourth and sixth
without disturbing the uniformity of the
design. Heretofore the navy depart

taries Lamont aud Herbert will be ad

Ose of the curses of the greenback ex
periment, says the Philadelphia Hecord,
was that when the notes depreciated in
value there existed a seeming necessity
for the increase of all salaries for public
service. Throughout the country there
was an advance in the pay of all officials
more than answering to the fall in the
gold value of the greenbacks with which
payments were made. But when the
day of resumption came it was found to
be impossible to cut down sa'aries in
proportion to the advanced worth of
legal tender paper. As a result the cost
of the government has been more than
doubled. With larger pay public of
ficials seemed determined to do less
work. The the labor is more and more
thrust upon subordi nates. This is strik
ingly shown in the facts submitted by
Senator Chandler with reference to the
extravagance of the United States senate.
He states that there are about four em
ployes for every senator and that the
cost to the country has risen to an ag
gregate ot $xu,inu yearly, ihe same
vice of reckless waste of the public
money runs through our whole system

According to those who kuow all the
circumstances, the sending of the Father
Marquette statue to the Statuary Hall of
the capitol buiiding, by the state of Wis-
cin, was the result oi a political piay
made by a candidate for his party s
nomination for governor of Wisconsin,
away back when the late "Jerry" Rusk
was governor of that state, llus would-
be c:indidate introduced a bill in the
stite legislature providing for the send
ing of the statue of rather Marquette to
Washington by the state aud succeeded
in having it panned, arguiug with the
Republican members that it would catch
Catholic votes for that party. When the
bill reached Governor Rusk he declined
to sign it, and would have vetoed it had
not this would-be candidate persuaded
him that it was good politics to sigu the
bill, aud then assured him that he would
see that the statue was never made.
Rut this would-be candidate not only
failed to get the coveted nomination
but he lacked the power to prevent the
Statue teing made, and to day it stands
in Statuary Hall, one of the most artis
tic statues there. The A. P. A. has
demonstrated its ability to . coutrol the
present Republican house, aud its orig
inal program was to have that bo.ly
adopt Representative Linton's resolu
tion against allowing the statue to re
main in the capitol, but so many Re
publicans who live in districts where
Catholic voters are numerous haveshown
that their defeat would le certain if that
program was carried out that party pros
sure has been brought to bear upon
the leading A. P. A. men in the house,
und the program is held up, for a time,
if not for good. All of the lessons of
European history are forgotten by those
men who are trying to use religious
prejudice for partisan political purposes,
and even the more recent lesson that
broke the heart of James G. Blaine

The Republicans are much disturbed
over a rumor that the Populists will join
tbe Democrats in voting down the reso
lution.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, who has
just returned from a visit home, says
that the reports that the silver sentiment
is dying out in that section are entirely
without foundation. On the contrary,
he says, it is getting stronger all the
time.
Senator Allen, of Nebraska, expects
to be chairman of the senate committee
that will investigate the last Alabama
senatorial election, if his resolution,
which has by a partisan vote leen re
ported from the committee on elections,
le adopted. But that "if" is a formid
able one, in view of the attitude of the
Democratic senators to this unconstitu
tional resolution. m.

For the present critical condition of
affairs the Republicans have themselves
largely to blame. In order to secure the
loaves and fishes of patronage in the
senate they were parties to a disreputa
ble deal with the Populists, whereby the
committee on finance was expressly
framed so as to put the advocates of free
coinage in control. While President
Cleveland and his cabinet have been bat
tling for honest money and forcing the
issue in Democratic conventions
throughout the oountry. the Republi
cans have been doing what they could
to evade the subject. It is a fact that of
all the prominent Republicans men
tioned conspicuously for the presidency,
there is but one, Governor Morton, of
whom it can be positively said that if
elected he may be depended upon confi
dently to stand by honest money. Er
ery one of his rivals has either attempt
ed to straddle the issue or has persistent
ly kept silent. The consequence is that
the Republican silveritea have become
emboldened and are forcing the fighting.

Bellefonte. Pa., March 9 William
Ethnger lived in a little village of Wood
ward, in the eastern end of this county.
He was about 25 years old. Several
mouths ago he assaulted his father-in-law,
Benjamin Benner, and nearly killed
him with a piece ofcordwood. Etlinger
was arrested aud secured bail.
When the case was called for trial he
failed to appear. A bench warrant was
issued for bis arrest, but the man had
taken refuge in the mountains that sur
rounded the hamlet in which he lived, j
He was seen occasionally, but none of
his neighbors were venturesome enough
to attempt his arrest.
Yesterday afternoon Constable Barner
heard that Etlinger was at home. There
had been a feud between Barner and
Etlinger, and the constable determined
to arrent his enemy. He deputized C.
G. Moz and John Hosterman to assist
him. The three went to the house of
Etlinger and fouud that the latter had
barricaded himself with his wife and
three-year-old daughter and two-year-old
son in the second story of his frame
dwelling.
The officers entered and Barner kick
ed in a panuel of the door ou the second
floor. The constable started to crawl
into the room through the broken door,
As soon as Baruer's head and shoulders
appeared in the room, Etliuger fired a
ride ball through his head, killing him j
instantly. Etliuger then tired through
the door at the other two men, and
Motz was st i tick and badly hurt.
The two deputized constables beat a
hasty retreat from the house. They
aroused the town, and men gathered up
their firearms and hastened to Etlinger's
dwelling. A shot from the house quick
ly warned every man that came withiu
range that Etiinger was prepared to do
further murder in his own defense.
Sheriff Coudo was telegraphed for
here, and with sixteen armed deputies
wen. to woodward on a special train.
During 'he siege in the afternoon Et
linger sent a shot through the window
of a house next door to his, and Frank
Geiswhite who was lying ill therein, was
hit and dangerously wounded.
little later Etlinger fired into the
house of Mrs. Robert Miller, and the
bullet just missed her. John Musser,
who was watching Etiingers house, was
shot in the neck and severely wouuded.
The sheriff soon arrived and took charge
of the siege. The thousand or more
men around the house kept up a fusil
lade of shots until the ammunition of
the little town was exhausted.
The hoiiie was guarded throughout
the night, and as the news of the siege
had spread, by daylight there were fully
2,000 armed men about the house.
This morning Sheriff Condo deter
mined to attempt to carry the house by
storm. With a number of deputies he
made a rush for the building, but the
whistle of the bullets from Etlinger's
rille took the courage of the storming
party and drove them back under cover.
Then the sheriff decided to fire the build
ing. James Cornelly, a Bel lefonte depu
ty, volunteered to apply the match.
Under the cover of a fire directed against
the house by the crowd Cornelly made
his way to the building and applied the
torch and returned in safety.
The ilames made slow head way and
it was fully an hour before the building
was fairly ablaze. The heat of the lire
drove Etlinger and his family to the
cellar. When the building had become
too hot for habitation the cellar door was
steadily opened and the too babies push
through into the street. Closely follow
ing the children Mrs. Etlinger burst
through the cellar door aud staggered
out.
The crowd was hot in anger against
the woman, as they lelieved that Fhe
had assisted her husband in defending
the house, and as she made her appear
ance a cry went up:
"Shoot the witch!"
Cooler men raised a shout and pre
vented any firing atthewomau. As she
lied from the house her husband fired
four times at her, but each shot went
wide of the mark.
By this time the cellar was ablaze from
cellar to roof, and with death certain by
tire or at the hands of the mob Etlinger
decided to kill himself. He suddenly
stepjed from the cellarway with a rille
iu one nand and a revolver in the c tuer.
On a demand to surrender the outlaw
brew down his gun and, facing the
mob, cried out:
"I don't want to kill any other man
but mvself. but I'll not be taken alive."
Then he put the revolver to his head
and fired, falling dead on the street.
rush was made for the door, and
the dead body of Constable Barner was
dragged from the burning building just
as the root tell in. Uarner not only had
been shot, but his throat had been cut.
When Mrs. Etlinger had recovered her
composure she said she was not a willing
defender of the house witi her husband.

hoby indignant because of certain re
ported acts of his young men he first
thought his glasses were playing him
pranks. He polished them and read

trivial to be mentioned. A handful of
the fellows got a drum and marched

it Walker, of this city, has instituted an
action against Armour & Co , of Chi
cago, to recover penalties amounting to
$5 0,000 for alleged violation of the
state law in selling oleomargine in dif
ferent places throughout the staleduring
the past six or seven years. The venue
is laid in Jefferson county.
This suit is the outcome of the at
tempt made by Commissioner of Agri

sale of oleomargarine since he assumed

were met by the defendants by injunc
tion restraining him from prosecuting
any suits until the determination by the
supreme court of the United States of

of the law prohibiting the sale.
About a year ago, the court held the
law was constitutional, whereupon the
Commissioner of Agriculture sought to
begin the suit in question, but wa9 un
able to obtain service of the summons
until now.
