It is true that George H. Boker, the president of the league, presid- ed at the stalwart meeting in Philadel- phia on Saturday night, but this fact is uo indication of the sentiment of the or- gauisation, The Union League is doubt- less afflicted with the same difference of opinion as between Stewart and Beaver that troiibles many other republican or- ganizations in Penusylvania just now. m————; 7 WH —————o x The re-nomination of Gov. Curtin, for vo:gress, was a most proper thing, and in accordance with the prayers of the large majority of the citizens of the distri.t, as well as of the state, and, we may add, of the nation. Gov. Curtin is a National representative, whose usefulness is not limited to the interests of a district. He belo gs to that class of statesmen who shoa!d be continued ia congress, from term to term, in the interests of tLe na- tion. He will be re-elected by a largely in- creased vote, as his course in congress has recvived the merited approbation of the people of all parties and cannot be assail- e<d by the few who would prefer to see him displaced because he rises above their own calibre. The names of the candidates presented by other counties in the district, Dill of Union, Reed of Mifflin, and Hall of Elk are all honored names and we expect, sooner or later, to see them called to places fittnig their abilities aud purity of character. The nomination of Mr. Curtin, after lst ballot, was made unanimous, and :he gentlemen above named promised the nominee their warmest support. id STEWART LEIS OUT A SECRET Mr. Stewart, the independent c.ndi. date, spoke at Easton a few days ago, and let out a little secret of the ways of tie boss, reported thus: Senator Stewart be. gan speaking at half-past 8 and held Lis audience for an hour in a powerful arzu- ment against Cameronism. Afier refer ring to the Independent movement and saying that the persons in it were gros dy misrepresented, he declared that the par- ty had grown rapidly. He touched upon Beaver and his declination to discuss with Stewart the issues of the campaign. Then followed a plain statement of fucts, that Cameron had selected the ticket long before the Harrisburg convention, and that Cameron controlled all political movements among the Regular Republi- cans. The unit rule business at Chicago and Beavers unsuccessful previous {forts to get on the ticket next occupied the speakers attention. In the course of Lis remarks upon Cameron's dictation and the manner in which he names the tick- never have told another assemblage, and that is that I an individoal was invited to be present when it was done, and accom- pany the invitation was an intimation that if I wanted it there was a position on the ticket for myself. My response to that invitation I will let Mr Cameron give to the public if he desires.” Tle speaker argued that it svas not Beaver or the rest of the ticke*, as men, that the Indepen- dents opposed, but the principles tl.ey represented throagh the influence of Cameron.

The congressional conference met at Tyrone, last Friday, on 20th ballet, re- pominated Gov, Curtin for congress. The 19 ballots stood Curtin 9, Reed 3, Hall 3, and Dill 3. On 20 ballot the Mifllin con- ferees went to Curtin, which gave him a majority over all. cd — WHAT STEWART SAYS, Stewart, the independent candidate for governor, was in Philadelphia the other day, and to the inquiry as to th political outlook said that while he was only entering upon the campaign, and therefore {rom persona! knowledge bad but little knowledge to impart, yet he was in communication with gentlemen residing in various portions of the State, and from advices received he was great- ly encouraged regarding the success of he Independent ticket. “Ifthe election could be held now,” said Senator Stewart, “I am confident that the lodependents would poll at least 150,000 votes and the cause is grow- ing stronger every day, and will coatin- ue to do so to the day of election. There was a time a while ago when compro- mise was talked of, and it was not cer tain what was going to be done, that there was an ebb in the Independent tide, but that time is past, and the out- look is all we could ask for.” “Then that means Pattison for Gov. ernor?’ suggested the reporter. “I have nothing to say cn that sab- ject,” replied the Senator as he exhaled the smoke of his cigar and his ‘counte~ pance broadened into a smile. “What have you to say of the future of the party?” “That depends upon three things,” re- plied the Senator thoughtfully, “First, iffthe Independent ticket is elected, the result will be the destruction of the ma chine, dethroning the Bosses, purifying and uniting the party. If, secondly, Gen. Beaver is elected it will result in the disintegration of the party, while at the same time Cameron will tighten bis grip on the machine and use it for his own selfish political purposes, as shame= lessly in 1884 as he did in 1880. The State will be in a worse condition to en- ter in the next Presidential contest than it ever has been, and the wishes of the people will be as utterly disregarded in the future as they have been in the past.” “If Mr. Pattison is elected then that clears the decks, and the party can then pull together and be stronger than it is to~day. I have no doubt that Geaeral Beavers vote and my vote combined will exceed that of Pattison’s, as he can- not receive more than a plurality, and Pennsylvania will be as strongly Repub licanjas ever.” Senator Stewart will take an active part in the campaign until it closes, speaking four nights every week. WHAT PATTISON WOULD DO. At a recent meeting in Philade!phia, 8. Davis Page, esq , one of the most elo. quent leaders in the reform movement in that city, made a speech in which he presented the case most forcibly. After speaking briefly of the circumstances of Mr, Pattison's nomination, the condition of the two parties at present, and the many misdoings of the Harrisburg ad ministrations, Mr. Page continued : “If men like Pattison were sent there, there would be no such repetition of crime. The governor of Pennsylvania is a very important factor in making the laws. Through his veto he can control nearly all Jegislation. If the governor feels that his responsibility is to the bos- ses and not to the people, he will sign bills to please corporations and others than the people. But if Robert E. Patti- son, or somebody a8 big as he, were at Harrisburg, do you think there would he such legislation ? Take the recorder’s bill, which I consider one of the most in- iquitous measures ever inflicted upon the people of Pennsylvania. There was no necessity for it. It was created for the party that was benefited by it, and could never have become a law if Pattison had been governor. About the same time ans other bill was passed, ostensibly for Phil- adephin—the delinquent tax bill, Its only object was to draw money into the hands of those who held the office. Do you suppose that Pattison would ever have signed such a bill—a bill that has een 80 hard upon the poor, hard-work- ing people ? Cries of “No!” arose from the enthusiastic Thirtieth warders, “Tt is for euch reform that von are bound to support this man Pattison. He is the smbodiment of reform.” Mr. Page also ex- horted his hearers to give the rest of the ¥ ticket an equally generoussupport, Voters should attend to these impor- tant matters or it may cause great troub- is Mrs. Gen, Lew Wallace has been per- mitted to eee the greatest beauty of Prince Feramorz’s harem in Turkey.

Oh! what a revelation of beauty | uplifted in a curi- us, questioning way to see what manner of women these are who come from the ends of the earth with unveiled faces, and go about the world alone and have to think for themselves—poor things !

The cable announces that Lord Dillon has caused a thousand ejectment deecres to be posted at the Swineford court house, County Mayo. Among all the cases which have been put on record to illastrate the hardships which were poss sible under the land laws of Ireland, none has been considered stronger than that of Lord Dillon's tenants. They number some four thousand, and are settled upon an estate in the northern part of the country, surroundiog the small town of Ballahaderrin, Four years ago the aggregate rental was close on $150,000 ayear. It had been gradually rising to this figure from $50,000, al- though it was admitted that no marked improvement had taken place in the condition of the land, which was at no time sufficiently good to afford the occn- piers coarse food, provided they were to pay their rents from the proceeds of the farm crops. Bat such was their attach. ment to the homes of their forefathers that they made annual harvesting trips to England and sent home theirsavings. So long as the English farmers required their service they were prompt in rent paying. The sgricaltural Seprussions at the other side of the Channel took away from them their main prop, and in one year there was a falling off in post-office orders from England of over $50,000, The late Lord Dillon had never seen his Irish estate, and it is said that the pres. ent lord had also abstained form mak- ing it a visit. A worthy gentleman named Strickland was the agent, having succeeded to the position at the death of his father. But for the liberality with which the tenants were helped form the relief funds raised in America and Aus. tralia hundreds of them would have died with starvation. Mr, Strickland was well aware of this fact, and declined to carry out the harsh measures which Lord Dillon dictated from England. The result was his resignation and the appointment of one of a class of men ready to carry out the most arbitrary edicts of absented landlords, and thus a district which for many years had been free from crime had to be given over to the charge of soldiers and police, ; in The degree of system and safety to which ocean as well as railroad travel has been brought in the present age, was illustrated by the arrival in New York a few days ago from England of Horace M. Coleman, a boy of between six and seven years, who was ticketed, or rather labeled through from London. The boy's father resides at St. Louis, Mo; A short time ago he wrote to the superintendent ofone of the ocean lines of steamers, in- quiring the price of tickets, &¢. The in- formation being furnished he forwarded the money to pay the boy's passage. A few days later the boy's CL any ac- companied him from Lancashire to Lon- don, where he was placed on board the Queen, with acard sewed upon his jacket, on which was written: “Horace M. Cole- man, passenger per F, linesteamship the Queen, trom London to NewYork, thence by rail to his father William H. Coleman, northwest corner Third and Pine streets, St. Louis, Mo.” The little fellow was quite a curiosity at Castle Garden. He was placed in charge of the conductor of a train on the Erie road, and has arrived safely in St. Louis, Last day for being naturalized—Sat- urday, October 7th. - nmmis lf soa arr msim——n The completion of the New York, Chicago & St. Louis road, the “nickel- plate,” siguifies the most remarkable feat ever accomplished in railroad building. This road, 520 miles long, extending from Buffalo to Chicago, has been built since May 1, 1881, the organization of the com- pany dating from the April preceeding. The company was organized simultanes ously in the States of New York, Pennsyl- vania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. The Cash subscription was $22,000,000, and the company bas since issued $28,000,000 of common and 822,000,000 of preferred stock, and $15,000,000 of first mortgage bonds. The actual cost of road, including equipment—the greater portion of which 1s built by the Pallman Company—is stat- ed to be between $25,000,000 and $58,000,- 000. This is not far from $5,000 per mile. The stock and bond obligation, how- ever, 18 $117,000 per mile. At6 per cent. the anovual interest obligation is $6,350 per mile. The contract price of the equipment is said to be between $8,000, these 520 miles of road is an instance of unexampled dispatch. At times miles per day. - . ->. FREIGHT DISCRIMINATION. Springfild, IIL, September 29.~—An opinion was rendered by the Illinois Su- preme Court yesterday, in a case involy- ing the question of the power of the State Legislature fo regulate the rate to be charge 1 by railroads for freight carried to pointe outside of Illinois, and whether the act prohibiting unjust diserimination in such rates is not in contravention with the constitution of the United States, The case is one wherein 66 per cent. larger rate is charged on a hanl from Gil man to New York than on a haul from Pe- oriato New York, though the distance from Peoria isgreater by eighty-six miles. It is held by the Court that the charge is unjust, excessive, extortionate and un- lawful, and in effect the Court upholds the authority of the Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners to regulate freight charges from points in Illinois to poiats outside of the State, mn The water rose to his nostrils ™ 0 { more could be done, and | i \ {past k | The other man killed was brakeman Daly. i! net hi fe on the st and walke { He was on the fourth ear, with the What brakemen and conductor, Daly was in-ithey ( ch other no knows stantiv killed.
