A canvass made RECENTLY amono
leading Republicans, of this State, as to a
preference of presidential candidates, re-1
suited as follows, with the distinct under-
standing however that Blaine would In no
case be a candidate: Cameron, 8; Sherman,
7;Depew, 3; Quay, 2; Harrison, 2; Allison,
2; Sheridan, 2; Hawley, 2; Gresham, 1;
.Lincoln, 1; Edmunds, 1. On the question
of second choice the politicians consulted
varied but slightly.
..THE SECOND ARTICLE ON MONOPOLIES
and trusts from, the pen of Hon. YV. M.
Rapsher appeared in our issue of last week.
It proved as highly Interesting to our read
ers as tho first article. The subject was
handled with logical argument, free from
fear or favor. It is this latter element, a
disregard for monopolistic vampires, that
preeminently testifies the honorable gen
tleman's fitness for public ofllcc. Would
that we had more such men.
Indications point to a lively and
vigorous campaign; the Republicans and
Democrats are organizing and preparing In
various ways for the coming contest. In
tb'e State of Now York alone tho Republi
cans have one hundred and thirty-five
clubs, with more coming, while the Demo
crats report almost tho same number. In
this State party organizations aro being
perfected,as is also the case In the Western
States. The fight this year will go down
In hlstery as the most hotly contestod In
the politics of onr country.
IT IB ALMOST A SAFE CONCLUSION TO
say that no revenue reform measure will be
agreed upon this year. The rank free trad.
ers will not compromise with the conserva
tive reform element, vice versa, and there.
by hinges all tho trouble. The removal of
Internal taxes and a legitimate reduction of
import duties on such articles as affect the
living of tho poor, Is what Is wanted by the
people. But the great and brainy men
wlip make our laws, good, bad and indiffer
ent, feel that it is otherwise. In the mean
time, However, the tariff results keep filling
up an overflowing treasury.
THE NUMBER OF LEADING llsrUBLI-
cans who have declined to become presi
dentlal candidates Is large. General Sher
idan's declination Is plain and positive; he
emphatically refuses to lead a forlorn hope.
Senator Ingalls aspires not to an office to
.which such men as Grayer Cleveland can
be' elected and George Washington Cbllds
will have.none of It. Blaine, too.the great
est Republican leader of the century is out
of the field for personal reasons. That a
certain (?) elevation to office, the highest
in the gift of a free people, should be ig
nored by such brilliant men is strange al
most to Insane ridiculousness-
TUB 8TMKE OF T1IU LOCOMOTIVE ENGI-
neera on the Chicago, Burlington' & Quin
cy railroad promises to be the most Impor
tant in the history of strikes. The broth
erhOod is the strongest single labor organl-
zatlon In the world, and under tho man-
aeement of conservative and able leaders It
Is not wrong to expeot that snch a policy
of procedure will be Initiated as will result
In an overwhelming victory for tho strlk-
ers. This Is the first open disagreement
for the B. Tj. E. In a period of ten years,
certainly in that time they have learned a
few lessons from tho failures so plentiful in
labor organizations, that tbey can look for
success by a correct system of procedure.
MANY OF OUB COKTEMrOltAIUES ARE
condemning the Lehigh strike as uncalled
fpr, foolish, etc There is one thing yery
certain, the miners are out of pocket on
the Investment, but they haye clearly inti
mated to the monopolists, who are their
bosses, that so far dare they go in their
ysttmixed persecution and no further.
The coal barons understand this fully, and
none so fully as tbey. We do not like
strikes, but when oppression amounts to
hateful persecution it is time for men who
dclye and toll to assert their independence,
their inalienable rights as citizens of a so
called "land ef liberty," and strike against
a power that would make them hut little
better than slaves.
A SPECIAL COMMITTEE IIAS llEEN Ap

Crouse, of Ohio; Hopkins, of New York,
and Smith, of Wisconsin. The sugar trust
will be the first Investigated the leading

An expose of the workings of these mon
opolistic combinations will no doubt prove
highly Interesting. Fools and trusts must

'Broaatrim's Hew Yori Letter.
Special to the Camion Advocate.
A couple of weeks ago an old man named
Morris died In the city of UrooUyn, ana culturet but be was never Intended to as
the last words be uttered were, "They have sociate with publicans and sinners. He
poisoned met" An autopsy haying been was an eminently respectable Christian
fcadd after his death confirmed his dying
elitratlon; In his stomach waa found
enoufiU 5f arsofllc To kill a half dozen men".
Ha was a wlilower when he married bU
last wlfo, nod she was widow forth fifth
time. Five of her former lores had crossed
the Styx and were presumably safe In the
saints' rest when she met old Kobcrt Mor
ris. At that time Mr. Jlforrls, If not a nian
of wealth, was Bttpposcd to be comfortably
endowed with this world's soodsj In point
of fact he had been a prosperous taltor.and
harln 2 accumulated a reasonaolo stoclF oC
shekels for a rainy day ho rosolved that ho
would devote tbo rest of his days to the
quiet, enjoyment thereof. Mr. Jforrls'
first wife was reposing quietly beneatu 1110
dallies, his daughtet had cone to house
keeping on her own account, and he dis
covered a fact which some other fellow had
found out nearly sis; thousand years beforo
that 'It Is not good for man to bo alone.'
He met the widow Smith, we will call her,
for It Is not definitely settled what her name
was. Mr. Morris was aware that she had
once been a sad-eyed mourner at the tomb,
but In his wildest dream he never suspect'
cd the full extent of her affliction, or that

way to the Golden Gate, for to tell the
truth.her other flvo matrimonial ventures
had not been financial successes. The wed
ding took place, and a weak had not passed
away when Mrs. Morris began to realize
that she had been deceived; for Instead of
pony shay, sealskin sacqucs, diamond
rings and a brown stone house, sho found
herself In two back rooms, having a lively
race to keep even with tho butcher, tbo
bakor and candlestick maker. AH of her
vast experience had availed her nothing
her last cholco was ten thousand times
worse than her first.for in addition to want
of cash he had the sciatica in his legs, the
lumbago in his back, rheumatism in both
arms, neuralgia In ins neau, dyspepsia
In his stomach, his sight was impaired and
his hearing was not by any means good
and it did not take long to impress Mrs
Morris with the fact that she had brought
her pigs to a pretty poor market. Morris:
if not sick, was grunting all the time. Not
withstanding his numerous afflictions his
appetite was remarkable; and about two
weeks ago he took a fancy to a disli of green
peas and molasses. Almost everybody
likes sweet peas, but Morris likes them ex
tra sweet, and that dose proved his lete
notr, for tho next morning after eating the
peas and molasses ho was a subject for
coroner's Inquest. Tho Inquest developed
some strango facts. At first Mrs. Jorris
acknowledgd to having had two husbands
before sho tackled Mr. Morris; then she
owned up to three, and on a moro critical
examination to four, and after a desperati
struggle the fact was developed that five
husbands had preceded Mr. Morris in her
affections. Then came another complica
tion. Mr. Morris was said to havo a legacy
left him In England of $13,000. and tho
interest on this money in England was
paid him by ono Dawborn in Now York,
Dawboru was hunted up and swears that
ho never knew -Vorris in his life and never
paid him a stiver. Bat, as I said, old Mor
ris said he was poisoned; the jury sat on
him and entirely agreed with him. Was
there Rough on Rats In Mr. -Vorris' green
peas and molasses? It docs not matter
much to Mr. Morris now whether there was
or not, but It may be an exceedingly inter
esting question to Mrs. Jforrls because, if
tho verdict of the coroner's jury is adverse
to her hopes, tombstone No. 0, which deco
rates Mr. .Morris' grave, may pos3lblymark
thelast of the amorous widow's matrimonial
conquests.
The sudden death of a well known poli
tician by the name of Brcnnan, developed
quite as extradorlnary a state of affairs as
was exhibited in tho case of the widow
Morris. Brennan was a 'gay boy and a
successful politician and everybody's friend,
with a weakness for draw poker, good
whiskey and a number of Mrs. Brennan's,
which led him down to ruin, and the man
who, tivo years ago, was the prido of his
party and went clad in purple and fine linen,
was discovered one cold night last week
sitting under a lamppost all covered with
mud, with several big cuts on top of his
head, and on his death bed, which ensued
at tho hospital a few hours afterwards, no
less than three wives turned up to claim
the body. What In Jerusalem they could
want with such a whiskey-soaked reprobate
is beyond my ken, and yet tbey fought for
him, and It is now rumored that there are
five or six more ready to chip in as soon as
the first three have settled their battle.
From time to time Now York is startled
and horrified by the disclosnres that come
up from tho lunatic asylums, and the rcve-
latlons of the past week havo sent a thrill
of horror through tho entlro community.
After a desperato struggle with tho hospital
authorities twenty-seven sane men and wo-
men have been relieved from a captivity,
I In comparison to which death would have
been a blessing.
If a patient dared to Insinuate that he
was sane, he was seized by tho attendants
and If he made tho slightest resistance he
was lifted up and suddenly let fall upon the
floor till the breath was all knocked out of
him, and then a pswerful hypodermic In
jection of morphine paralyzed all further
resistance, Beaten, kicked and terrorized
the miserable wretches lingered on from
month to month and year to year.and their
cry of agony was never heard ontslde the
confines of their prison. One who was res
cued from this hell by the indefatigable ef
forts of a charitable lawyer, Immediately
went to work to help some of his fellow
prisoners, and the result Is that twenty-
seven sane persons were released ivho have
been confined in the asylum as lunatics,
some for months and others for years, and
every one of them by a sheriff's jury was
pronounced perfectly sano.
A successor has just been found InUrook-
lyn to the Bov. Dr. Snlyely who retired
from his charge there about a year ago. To
most of the readers of the Broadbrim let
ters Dr. Snlvely was unknown, but he will
be readily remembered as the clergyman
who refused old George Holland, the actor,
Christian sepulture, but told his friends
that If tbey wanted a few prayors no doubt
they could get them at the Little Church
Around the oorner. Holland's body was
conveyed to Dr. Houghton's little church,
and every actor who has died from that
day to this has been burled from the Little
Church Around the Corner. Dr. Hough
ton is idolized by the profession, and if In
the other world people are allowed to' exer
cise the profession that they found most
congenial to them here, Dr. Houghton will
always be sure of a front seat or a private
box whenever he attends the theatre. Kvor
since he refused to read prayers over George
Hollaed Dr. Snlyely has been underacloud
personally he is a great favorite with the
bishop, and he is a gentleman of eminent
who had no Idea of contaminating his lawn
I with hod carriers or actors. The bishop
moved lilln from place to "place'! it was no
use, tbo Little Uhurcu Around the corner
stuck to him liko the shirt of Ncssus, and
It will cling to him to the day of his death.
The press of New York is wild over tjio
acquittal of Jaurtce B. Flynn and Itolln
M. Squire for conspiracy. When Mayor
Kdson was going oat and Mayor Grace was
coming in, nearly four years ago, Hubert
O. Thompson, ono of the most poweifnl
Dcmocratle politicians In tho State, had
jast been kicked out of the Board of rubllc
Works for malfeasance In office. Up to
the, end of Mayor Kdson's term all of the
Mayor's appointments had to bo confirmed
by the Board of Aldermen, but although
the Democratic majority was large In the
Board the County Democracy and Tam
many Hall could arrive at no equitable
division of the spoils, and If tho appoint
ment went over till the term of tbo new
Mayor began the Aldermen would lose all
share In tho plunder, as under tho now
charter his appointment was absolute with
out their aid.- The Board In question was
the celebrated "Boodle Board," Immortal
n Infamy, that got a million out of old
Jake Sharp on the Broadway railroad deal.
At the very last moment It was alleged
Maurice B. Flynn In the Interest of Hubert
O. Thomnson nut up a job whereby a
political tramp by'tho name of Rolln M,
Squire was put In chargo of the most Ira
portant department In tho city of Now
York, a department tho patronageofwhlch
was worth many millions, Mr. Squire giving
his written pledge to do the bidding of
those who had secured him the olllce.
H'hen Mr. Squlro found hlrasolf serenely
In the saddle he repudiated tho promises
ho had made, and also the men who had
elevated him, and then the fun commenc
ed. But sharp as he was he mado no
match for the ring. They had him Indict
ed, and on appeal to the Governor lie was
kicked out of office. At that time there
were two wltnossess alive to prove tho con
spiracv between Flynn and Squire, and
there seemed to bo llttlo doubt that this
precious pair would eventually land in
States Prison. There was no getting rid of
tho facts, and the only thing that could
save them was to get rid of the wltnessess,
so they had tho trial put oil for the last
two years. Last year ono of tho witnesses
died; this year tho other pegged out. This
week the case was called and as the wit
nesses were reported beyond the jurisdict
ion of the Court a nolle prosoquo was en
tered and the prisoners discharged, and
now Mr. Squire is going to sue the city of
New YorP for his hack salary and his
office. Big thing the taw, sir; mighty big

BROADBRIM.
OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER
Philadelphia Pa., Feb. 22, '88
The most terrific snow and wind storm
known to the oldest citizens of Philadelphia
prevailed with all tho force and terror
known during Sunday night Monday. It
was a paialyzer, it took us all off our feet
and caused the imagination to won'dcr
whether old boreas has not taken this por
tion Uncle Sam for Dakota. Well if one
of those Western blizzards is worse than
our Eastern tempest of Sunday and Mon
day then truly western endurance is to bo
commended and recognized as heroic. Even
If bad as ourbretbern along the Miss, valley
are to be pitied and'eonnsorated especially
when so destructive and luiurlous as the
storm of Monday. The destruction and
disaster caused Is Incalculable millions of
dollars worth of property destroyed and the
damago done to business by virtue of
breaking communication off with the out
sido world is equal. B. It. trains and con
sequent traffic had been effectually blocked
for two days. Trains due to and out of the
city for surburvan towns, to reach dcstlna
Hon to and for took ten and twelvo hours
Some were so completely hampered by
snow drifts and blown obstruction that no
railroad communication was had for two
days. H'hen It Is considered that hourly
communication Is had day in and day out
with these outlying towns and cities the
Inconvenience, loss and damage Is impossi
ble to be calculated. Besides when it is ana
lized that the best and most perfectly
equipped railroad tho Pennsylvania In
the world has had no way to even run our
trains from New York to Philadelphia and
vico yersa for two days, the effect and
force of the storm comes readily within the
assertion that It was the fiercest in the
memory of the oldest citizens of Phlladel
phla. All communication with the outside
world were cut off. Telegraph poles, wires
etc., were snapped and torn off as though
but pipe stems; awnings throughout the
city wefo torn Into shreds; chimneys turn
bled down, window panes broken and iron
poles twisted and bent to look like corn
stalks. Street cars with the exception e
one or two lines were altogether blockaded
all day Monday and part of Tuesday. The
lnocnvcnlcnce and loss caused to the poor
working people by this obstruction, for tho
street car lines are their solo dependence,
except walking for miles, to reach their
work Is very large, and'there are over 150
such street lines.
Tho whistling and music accorded by the
hissing and whirling of tho wind through
tho thousands of telegraph wires was graph
ically Inspiring of the gieat and tremendous
velocity and strength of the winds. Tho
swaying and dancing, the whistling and
howling of the three or four hundred wires
along the main streets was not only graphic,
but was a slight Indication of the great and
majostic power of natures forces as directed
by Illm who Is greater than all things.
Peiceive it ?
This rtonn will be remembered as long as
the momory of the present generation will
last. It will also serve to arouse that fee
ing of fellow sympathy for fellow sufferers
from a bod) of people who never before
knew tho suuering and vicissitude entailed
by so horrid a storm. If It has destroyed
much property and caused much loss. It
will at least have served this good and this
counts for some something, this seems
to be tho only compensation.
The death ot Emperor ulillam: the
Sullivan tornado; and the terror of the
storm havo been rather three, interesting
