Senator Teller, Rep., of Colorado,
dt lares tbat he will aot support an?
residential candidate on a gold or
doubtful platform.
Os Thursday morning of last week
Herman W. Mudgett, better known as
H H. Holmes, was executed on the
gallows at Philadelphia, at 10:12 o'clock
Holmes showed marvelous nerve on the
gallows and for hours before the execu
tion. He shook hands with the priestf
and the otlicials just before the noose
was fixed about his neck. He died de- I
oiorino- il.at tio wHa not puiltvof the I

The Wilson tariff, according to the :
platform of the Indiana Republicans,
"has almost destroyed our American
industries" meaning specifically Ameri
can manufactures The official reports
of the treasury department 6how that for
the nine months of the fiscal year end-
with March the esoorte of American
manufactures reached the unprecedent
ed total of tlft3.187.92r;, which is five
millions more than the figures for the
whole 12 months of 1892. when McKin-
ley reciprocity was in full blast; and the
fiscal vear 1S91 92 was the crack vear of
McKinleyisni.
The members of the house at Wash
ington on Friday voted themselves tlOO
a month for clerk hire during the re
cesses of congress. Under a resolution
passed by the Fifty-second congress the
members of subsequent congresses re
ceived $100 per month for clerk hire dur-
iog the sessions. On Friday the propo
sition to extend this allowance to mem
bers during the recesses of congress
came up in the forrftof the Hartman re
solution, adversely reported from the
committee on accounts. It occasioned
some very sharp debate. It had the
support of Mr. Cannon, the chairman of
the appropriation committee, but was
op(xsed by Mr. Dingley, the tloor leader
of the majority.
The resolution was amended so as to
except members who are chairmen of
committees having annual clerks, and
as amended was passed 130 to 103. Our
lawmakers can always be counted upon
as letting no opportunity escape of en
riching themselves at the peoples ex
pense. It is only a small steal, bow
er.
Seveeal American citizens on the fili
bustering schooner, Competitor, cap
tured by the Spanish authorities of
Cuba, have been tried by court martia
and sentenced to be shot. The Ameri
cans were not bearing aams. Secretary
Oloey has entered a firm protest against
the execution of the sentence. He has
pointed out to the Spanish authorities,
both at Havana and Madrid, that the
drum-head court martial trial is in vio
lation of treaties existing between this
government and Spain. In conformity
with those treaties he has also demand
ed that the death sentence in the case
of the American prisoners be abrogated
and that they be granted a trial by
civil tribunal.
Captain-General Weyler, of Cuba, has
indicated a reluctance to accede to Sec
retary Olney's demand. It is expected.
however, that the Madrid authorities
will direct Weyler to comply with the
request of the American government.
In that event, it is said, Weyler threat
CDS to resign. Should the Spanish au
thorilies proceed with the execution of
the Americans, it is entirely likely that
war will follow. Gen. Fitzbugh Lee,
the new American consul general, is
hastening to Havana. A number of
American wai-ships are likewise in
readiness to proceed immediately to Cu
ba if their presence should become ne
cessary.
This event has created considerable
excitement in Spain and among the
Spanish in Cuba.
i rob ably since congresses first as
pen i bled at Washington, says the Phila
delphia Keconi, mere never was one
which had greater opportunity than the
Fifty-fourth Congress to afford the coun
try helpful legislation, or which more
utterly failed to grasp its opportunity.
It would have greatly diminished the
chances of electing a Republican Con
gress and President in November if this
Congress had followed the recommenda
tions of the President with regard to
financial legislation. It would have
beeu almost as hazardous to have adopt
ed some temporary measure, like a beer
tax, a tax on coffee or tea, or a slight
tax on 6ugar, to cover the lessening de
ficit in the federal revenue. But not
withstanding the early admission that
the operations of the treasury would have
been facilitated and large sums of money
saved by arming the treasury with the
power to isssue low-interest short-term
bonds, and that more revenue was an
immediate necessity, partisanship over
bore every other consideration. Speaker
Iteed announced at the beginning of the
session that it would be a do-nothing
congress. He has made good his proph-
ecy. Nothing has been done except to
make heavy appropriations, and by ne-
gleet and delay to prolong a season of
industrial distress and apprehension
in the hope therefrom to reap political
advantage.
These are hard words, but they are
true. If they need confirmation beyond
tbat which the facta bear on their face
the confirmation is to be found in the
admissions of Republican leaders that
their inactivity has been deliberate.
They have only attempted such general
legislation as they knew could not re
ceive the sanction of both houses of
congress, or if passed by both houses,
could not receive the approval of the
executive. This may be grand politics,
fcut it is death to trade and industry.
There are a few Democrats, lorn
Johnpon among the number, save the
Harrisburg Vitriol, who are inclined to
believe the Democratic party is doom
ed to utter rout and confuion at the
pnl's this year. This ha eiven the Re
publican a erpflt deal of jnv. and they
are publishing it far and wide.
It ia sometimes" best tn let the enemv
deceive himself with hie false hopes, ass
to do po is more certainlv todefeat him.
Tn this case it ia not necessarv. Plttt of
New York a few weeks aeo advised his
party that it would not have a walk over
this rear, and it won't The party se
cured a lease of power on false pretenses.
It was elec'ed to eafe the burdens of
the treasury, to give relief to irarte ana
lhor in a word, to cure and amend the
'Democratic times" of which so much
complaint had been made There was no
murine' done and no amending. When
rt
the present congress met President
Cleveland called it attention to the con
dition of the treasury and announced
his willingness to co-opernte in any way
that would assure the so much needed
relief, but the Republican congress has
done nothing and talks of adjourning
It is quite true the Democratic party
did not carry out all the pledges made
to the people in 1S92. in regard to the
tariff, but it did the lest that was possi
ble with it, and also repealed the Sher
man silver law. which is responsible for
the condition of the treasury to-day.
That the Democratic party is "broken
discredited and degraded is
not true.
Every state convention held by it has
been enthusiastic and hopeful. It is
discredited only by Republicans and the
professional "soap hunters, it is not
degraded by any action springing from
itself within the last four years. On the
surface it is not as strong as it was in
1S92. owing chiefly to the revulsion of
feeling and ideas which so generally fol
low a presidential election, but anybody
who imagines the Republicans will have
a walk over makes a great mistake.
McKinley will be nominated on the
McKinley tariff platform for there is a
protective tariff in operation now.
There was never anything more costly to
the industries of this country than Mc-
Kinleyism. It defeated the Republican
party in 1S92 and if it do not defeat it
in 1S9G it will be because in some mys
terious way the people have been de
prived of the power of reasoning. On
the other band with a good candidate
the Democrats can win against him.
The money of the Hanna syndicate can
buy a good many votes, but with a man
like Campbell, or Russell, or Carlisle, or
Whitney, or Hill, or Morrison as the
Democratic candidate on a gold and
moderate tariff platform plenty of fight
will be found in the old party.
The Gosling this week in explaining
the cause of tbe bard times sums it up
as follows:
"A glance over Uncle Sam's balance
sheet shows that from liMj up to 1S94
the excess of revenues over expenditures
was many millions yearly. On June 0,
1893, after Mr. Cleveland had lieen seat
ed, the surplus was f 2,:.t74 29- One
year later the deficit U. .- A up to f"9,-
803 .2o0. Quite a difference, wasn't
there? Theu on June :0, 1S.5, the de
ficit was 42,S2o,049.29. The interest
tearing debt had also tx-en increased by
this time from t5S..037,000 in 1893 to
71G,202,0ft0 in 1S95.
These deficits were caused by a scare
ity of funds and the scarcity of funds
was caused by the failure of the revenue
system to meet the needs of the govern
ment: the low revenue or tariff measures
were made by the Democratic congress,
and the Democratic party, therefore, is
alone responsible for the hard times.
Instead of which the Costing should
have told its readers that the revenues
commenced to fall off the year the Mc
Kinley bill became a law, and kept on
doing so until it was repealed. In the
four years under the McKinley law the
revenues fell off $157,000,000 from what
they were the preceding four years
The billion congress at the same time
added $70,000,000 to fixed expenditures
The year before the McKinley law went
into effect the customs receipts were
$229,000,000, while the last year of the
law they hed fallen to $131,000,000,
showing a loss of $'S,lHXMKU, and in
stead of there being a surplus on June
30th, 1893, Harrison's administration
had juggled the $50,000,000 bank note
redemption fund from a debt to an as
set and even then had the bond plates
prepared to issue bonus to meet the de
ficiency tbat wag staring the government
in the face, and which Cleveland's ad
ministration had to meet.
R. G. Pes & Co.'s Weekly JTmeic of
Trade last week says: That exports of
t5, 850,000 gold this week have produced
no monetary disturbance is at once proof
1 of the soundness of financial conditions
I and of the prevailing confidence in bet-
ter things to come. It does not matter
whether gold is required for Russia or
anywhere else; it would not go from this
rather than other countries if there
were not balances to meet.
Much of the hesitation at present is
due to temporarily reduced demand in
some industries, and in iron and steel
the power of tbe new combinations is
being generally tested by a refusal of
orders, so tbat production exceeds con
sumption, but consumption exceeds new
buying. The general irregularity of
I prices and slackness of demand for fin
j ished products do not prevent the mark
ing up of prices by combinations, but
are largely due to doubt whether such
prices as are fixed can be maintained.
Pig iron is weaker at the east and also
at Pittsburg, tin steady and lead slightly
lower, and American tin plate SO cents
below foreign.
The textile manufacturers say the wt-
uation is tryiog. Cotton mills have a
fairly active demand, though not equal
to their normal output. Print cloths
are an eighth higher. Woolen manu
facturers find prices of wool sagging
both here and abroad. The decline at
London reached about 5 per cenT, while
the average of quotations by Coates
Bros., Philadelphia, was nearly 1 per
cent lower May 2, and prices have been
further reduced by concessions to clear
off stocks.
Washington Letter.
Washington, May 9. 18'.rt. Tbe
turn of Piatt aud Q iiy, president-makers,
has disolved partnership. M.rk Hanna
fried s much fat out of the expect-to-lie
protected manufacturers that he drove
them out of business and captured the
prize for his man, McKi iley the
St. Ijuis convention will ouly
be a sort of ratification meeting.
Probably just to ho-y his veisii iiy Mr
P'att is trying the s ime tactic by which
he mad, such a miserable failure four
years ago. Then he tried t u- P.Uine
to prevent the nomiuation ot Mi-lvi:iley.
Rut Quay isVt helping him. If Quay
was compelled to choose lietween the de
vil and Harrison he would vote for his
sat.tuic majesty any time, aud Recti is
of the same mind in that respect. Hut
there is every reason to believe that
Quay has had an understanding with
McKinley all the time, aud that he is
not doing any worrying over the situa
tion. It is said that Piatt accuses Quay
of treachery towards both himself and
lieed, and that Reed is inclined to take
the same view.
Senator Hill has during the present
session proven himself to be one of the
most dangerous men in the senate to
tackle in a running debate. The last
man to discover this was senator WoJ
cott, of Colorado, who tried to rescue
Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota,
from the ridicule which Senator Hill
was heaping on him by reading news
paper extracts of the humiliating ex
perience he had at the Republican con
vention of his state. After sarcastically
referring to Wolcott as "this sensitive
senator" and "this defender of decen
cy," and asking where he was when Pet
tigrew was abusing senators and the
president, Mr. Hill exclaimed: "Aud
where was my friend my English friend
from Colorado, who has tributes for
Euglish statesmen, English soldiers,

Republican stump speakers during the
coming campaign should not be allowed
to overlook a few remarks made this
week in the house by their chairman of
the house finance committee. Represen
tative Cannon, of Illinois, Mr. Cannon
said that by its enormous appropriations
this congress was mortgaging the future
receipts of the government to the extent
of $100,000,000, which meant that the
next administration would have to bor
row money just as this one has to do, no
matter what sort of tariff law may be
enacted. Mr. Cannon spoke a truth
that cannot be too strongly impressed
upon the minds of the voters who must
choose between Republican extravagance
and Democratic economy.
Sergeaut-at Arms Bright, of the sen
ate, is regarded as good authority on
things congressional. heu he was
asked what time he thought congress
would adjourn he replied: "If not by
the first of June, then not until the first
of October." The general impression
around the capitol is that adjournment
will take place on or near the first named
date, although the house has adopted
resolution naming May 18.
Representative Kleburg, of Texas,
who was this week sworn in as the suc
cessor of the late Representative Crain,
takes no stock in the movement of the
gold standard Democrats, to secede from
the party iu that state. He says on the
subject. "The movement on the part
of a number of gold standard Democrats
to secede from the party in Texas is to te
deplored, and 1 regard their course as
very unwise. I am pronounced in m
views on the money qaestion, and have
com batted the free silverjdoctnnes to the
lest of my ability. My district is almost
solid for sound money, and yet none of
my free silver friends abstained from vo
ting for nie because or my views on
finance. I recognize the right of the
majority to govern, and that is the gen
eral sentiment of the voters of lexas
We have issues of higher importance
than the money question. That issue
ought not and will not divide the De
mocracy. Ihere is no other party to
which our people can turn. We are not
ready to embrace the wild schemes of
the populists, and after all these years of
contending with the Republicans we do
not now propose to surrender to them.
i!ut there is no cause for alarm about
Texas. The Democracy is safe and will
give the Chicago nominees the biggest
vote of any state in the Union."
One of the amusing incidents of the
Republican campaign for that nomina
tion is the trotting out at this late day,
when McKinley looks a sure winner, of
Speaker Reed's war record, which, by
the way, was not very sanguinary. He
was acting assistant paymaster iu the
navy from April 18t4 to November
1SG5, and was attached to the Mis
sissippi squadron. The am us
mg part of the record is the attempt to
credit Reed with the achievements of
of that squadron, which he had about as
much to i'o with directing as one of the
'powder monkeys."

Deserting a Coal Town.
Hazleton, Pa, May 10. The town of
Stockton is rapidly becoming depopula
ted, although two weeks ago it was one
of the liveliest places in the coal regions.
The remaining employes of Lindemaun
fc Skeer, at Stockton, last evening were
notified to tear up all the tracks and re
move them from the mines. This
means the drowning of the colliery and
its entire abandonment, throwing neirly
llHX) men and boys eut of employment.
There is still a large amount of unmined
coal, but the expense of mining it is so
great that the operators cannot afford to
pay the enormous royalties demanded by
the land owners. As there seems no
hope of future work, the people are mov
ing away from the town.
Charged witn Matricide.
Durham, Conn,, May 11. What is
believed to be a brutal murder, the re
sult of a drunken quarrel, took place
here early yesterday morning. The vic
tim is Mrs. Margret Murphy, aged G8,
and her son Clarence, aged 35, is now
under arrest on suspicion of haviug in
flicted the blows which caused death.
Both mother and son had been drinking
incessantly for the past ten days, and as
Clarence Murphy is known to be very vi
olent when drunk, and has frequently
before beaten his mother, it is thought
tney again quarreled.
Doable Tragedy in Trenton.
Trenton, May 11. The fashionable
end of Trenton, which is on West State
street, leyond the 6tate house, was start
led by a double tragedy ou Saturday.
Joseph Graham, a carpenter, shot An
nie Anderson, a domestic, iu the dining
room of C. I. Baumgartner, a well
known dry goods merchant, at 190 West
State street. He then put a bullet in
his own head, and in twenty minutes
both were dead. The cause of the trag
edy was jealousy. Graham was a dis
carded lover aud the girl had gone to
Trenton to get rid of him.

According to the Harrisburg Patriot,
which pretends to talk by the hook, the
senatorial investigating committee.
which took a slight peep into the muni
cipal affairs in Philadelphia and look a
step or two in the same direction in Pitts
burg, is entirely discredited bv the Phil
adelphia Municipal league, which will
not give another cent toward the com
mittee's expenses These cxM?nses are
said to reach $70,000, which the next
legislature will Ik? asked to provide for.
It is said that Senator Quay himself has
paid one hotel bill of 1 15,000 incurred
by the committee, on assurance of Sen
ator Andrews that it was all the bill of
the kind there was. and has since re
ceived another bill from the same hos
telry for 10,000.
So far the Philadelphia Municipal
League has put up $8,000, it is said, aud
will positively stop there. The commit
tee has not had a session for over three
months, and those'who are not f.iendly
to it say there will be a warm discussion
when the report of its work, accompa
nied by a big bill for expenses, is snit
mitted to the next legislature. The Pa
triot says Governor Hastings wonld not
sanction an appropriation if the legisla
ture should pass it.
Our Fleet May go to Havana.
New Yojk, May 10 It is believed by
many persons here, t-specially among
the memltcrs ot the Cuban Junta, that
the assembling of about a dozen of the .
United States war vessels in New York I
waters indicates prompt action on the I
part of the government touching affairs '
in Cuba. The fact is recalled as eignili- j
cant that Secretary Onley recently de
clared that in the opinion of the presi- '
dent the "Cuban question" had reached
a more acute stage than at any time '
since the outbreak of the insurrection
There is reason also for believing that
there will not be any t 'mporizing with
General Weiler and that if any of the
condemned Competitor prisoners known
to lie American citizens are executed
without a review of their cases by a civ
il tribunal that the fleet may le ordered
to rendezvous at Havana instead of this

with several thousand feet of lumber
dock, upon which was piled ly.OOO.OOO
feet of lumber, were destroyed. The

lock. The mill was surrounded by wa
ter, with wooden tramways leading to
the shore. When the flames burst out,
all the men but four succeeded in reach
