RILEY, THE TEMPEST AT WASHINGTON, The full period of a generation had elapsed between the last Democratic government of this country and the present Democratic power, says the Philadelphia 7imes. Since the elec tion of Buchanan, in 1856, the country has never had full Democratic author- ity embracing the Executive and both houses of Congress, until the re-elec- tion of Cleveland in 1802. The Demo- crats have had the popular branch of Congress many times since the retire ment of Buchanan, and during one Congress had a bare majority in the Senate; but when Cleveland was in- augurated on the 4th of March, 1893, the Democrats found themselves, for the first time in a generation, in full command of the legislative power of the government, With the single exception of the four years of Mr. Cleveland’s first ad- ministration, the Democrats in Con- gress have been a mere opposition. They never had the power to shape the legislation of the country, as either the Executive or one of both branches of Congress were uniformly against them. They have, therefore, develop- ed no great leaders save as leaders of the opposition, and when charged with the responsibility of legislating for a great nation, they have exhibited a most painful want of progressive statesmanship. This is the secret of the failure of the Democratic legisla tors in the present crisis to meet the great issues which confront them with the enlightened statesmanship that is essential to the successful government of the Republic. There is now a fearful tempest rag- ing among the Democrats in Congress. There is intense bitterness, and crimi- nation and recrimination are the order of the day. Even Senator Gorman, usually one of the most temperate and sagacious of parlimentary leaders, has lost his equipoise and sent himself floundering in the mire of vitupera- tion. The tempest comes, like the tempests in nature, from the subtle miasma that has steadily and steathi- ly grown up in the United States Sen- ate, It is the normal poison that has taken deep root among the Democrat ic leaders when they were free from the responsibility of national legisla tion, and now when courage and pa- triotism are necessary to give success to Democratic authority, the partly leaders are unequal to their duties and the moral miasma is finally developed in the tempest. Since the tempest had to come, it is well that it should exhaust itself. The moral miasma has made its lodgment in the Senate, and the more furious the tempest shall be the clearer will be the political atmosphere when the storm shall have expended its force, We hope, therefore, to see the tempest continue until the last vestige of this subtle poison shall have been brought to the surface and destroyed. We shall then have clearer skies, clearer states manship and a clearer understanding of tha public duties devolved upon Senators; and when they emerge from the howling bluster of the storm they will see that the first duty of the Dem- ocrats in this Congress is to pass a tar iff bill, They will see that if they fail to pass one, the party must not only be de feated this year and in 1806, but that it must go out of existence, ns at pres- ent organized, because of its proved incapacity to govern the nation. Bee ing these plain truths, there is some reason to hope that speculative inter. ests may be given up; that personal differences may be reasonably compro mised, and that an honest tariff bill can thus be passed by honest legisla tors, even with great differences of opinion among them as to the details of the measure. Let the tempest rage until its violence shall be exhausted, and then let us have an honest tariff A NEW TARIFF BILL, The tariff deadlock is breaking up and after being together two hours yesterday afternoon the conferrees said positively that there would be an agreement this week. One of the con- ferrees added that the house stood to their position and that the agree- ment would be with substantial con- cessions to the house, It was the first time, said the conferree, that the sen- ators had shown a dispositon to meet the house half way. In the face of the investigation by Mr. Springer and statements of sen- ators recognized as leading factors in the senatorial ‘“‘combine,” a story is circulated to-night to the eflect that the house conferrees this afternoon of fered their senate colleagues a basis of settlement for the three disputed items, to wit; Iron ore to be placed on the free list; coal to be taxed at forty cents per ton, with reciprocal provision that would admit coal from Canada free if that country admitted our coal under like conditions; that a duty of fifty per cent. flat be leved on all sugars, and that a bounty be paid on the 1894 crop at the rate of eight-tenths of a cent a pound on all sugar testing between eighty and ninety degrees and nine-tenths of acent a pound on all sugar testing more than ninty degrees, According to this same story it is said the senate conferees are anxious to accept the proposition, ro laa Mg. ALLEN, the Populist senator from Nebraska, introduced and had referred to the committee on finance a bill having for a title “For the relief of the several states of the Union” and for distributidn among the states, ac- coading to population, of fifty million dollars in treasury notes to be issued for the purpose and to be used “for the relief of the worthy poor.” Repay- ment to the government is to be se- cured by state bonds bearing two per vent. interest payable in not less than three nor more than ten years after date. That's a big scheme of Populist Allen. How he will sift the worthy poor from the unworthy, is where the fun comes in. Which of the poor will admit they are unworthy. Vive la humbug. . ee esl iies OxE John Noonan, lately of Ireland, was sentenced by Recorder Bmyth, of New York, to a term of eight years in the Sing Sing Penitentiary on the charge of having stolen $2 from one Rebecea Robbins, Noonan was taken into custody in December last, and was railroaded through to the prison in short meter, a la the Gotham Police Court plan—a plan that catches all the little thieves or suspected thieves in its net, and lets the big ones go. In- vestigation proved that Mr. Noonan was innocent; and after having been subjected to all the infamy of a con- victed criminal he was turned free on Tuesday last with a character cleared by the Court of every stain.

When hail stones fall as large as hen eggs, these, if cracked with a hammer, in the centre of each will be found a newly coined gold dollar. The hail stone must be cracked before it melts to find the coin. All those of a smaller size than a hen egg are blanks, A A A———— THERE is no prospect for price of wheat advancing.

Howard is doing that which tends to make wine drinking proper upon public oc- casions, Great temperance man and Christian that he professes to be ! Why don’t he drink water so that all may know he is drinking water, and be consistent? When Gen.

The mayor has also been put under arrest, lation of the borough ordinances. Those persons who imagine the person of a councilman is as sacred as the per- son of the Swat of Herat, must come to a different notion, as some very small material is liable to creep into a councilman’s seat. —eesi—— Bituminous Coal Production, The production of bituminous coal last year as shown by the figures of the bureau of industrial statistics was 43,- 421,898 tons. The number of men em- ployed was 51,800. In the anthracite region the production was 47,178,563 tons and the number of men employ- ed 78,750. The report also gives inter- esting figures about the coke industry in the western part of the state. Fay- ette and Westmoreland are the princi- pal coke producing counties. There was a decrease of 1,154,678 tons of bi- tuminous coal and an increase of 1,- 444,189 tons of anthracite over the pro- duction of 1882.

Mr. William From, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of Gregg township, and belonging to the past generation, died on Tuesday at the home of his daughter, Mrs, Bolomon Lingle, in Georges Valley, near Spring Mills, Mr, From had been a sufferer from a nervous affection for several years, and his health gradually de- clined until death relieved him from his sufferings. Mr. From was aged nearly eighty years, and formerly resided near Tus- seyville. We think he was a native of Potter township, and lived in it near- ly all his life time, He was a faithful and consistent member of the Reformed church, and a man who lived an upright and hon- est life. He was the father of Mr, Wil- liam From, of Spring Mills; Mr. John From, living in Harris township, and Mrs. Solomon Lingle, at whose home he died. He was a brother of Jacob From, dec'd., late of Centre Hall. The funeral will take place on Fri- day morning from the residence of his daughter.

Persons complaining of their hard lot in life, will endeavor to impress it upon you by saying, ‘They haven't got the life of a dog.”’ This seems to us to be a misnomer. The life of a dog, as a general thing, is an easy one, and altogether in ac- cordance with the canine's liking and nature, The dog is a pet; he jumps up- on your lap, plays with the children, gets nice bits to eat, especially fond of the stove or stretches himself in the sun, and when its hot he creeps into the shade. He is only too glad to or chicken, and is in the height of his glory when he is hissed on another dog. You pat and stroke him, and fight for him as you would for a broth- er. He is allowed to ride in the car- riage and is nursed by ladies who will not nurse their own bables. You al- low him all the enjoyments of a rab- bit, deer or possum hunt, and he feels like a hero over it. can the dog with his master, ss pi po Vegetables with Medicinal Qualities, A physician speaking about the dif- ferent action of vegetables upon constipation, celery for rheumatic properties, are all vegetables having valuable medicinal properties, and more agreeable when well cooked than powders and tonics.
