Tho Carbon County Court quashed tbe
flrt Indictment against tbo Lehigh Valley
employes charged with responsibility for
the Mud Run disaster. Tbe grand jury
presented a new bill Friday, which stood
tbe teat ot tbe Court's scrutiny, but the
trial was postponed until March. It Is to
be hoped that this does not (oreshadovr an
abandonment of the prosecutions, as Is
charged In some quarters. While no one
desires a vindictive prosecution of tbe ac
cuscd, it Is but just that tbo responsibility
for tho death of more than sixty persons
should bo legally fixed and the guilty par
ties punished. Needless accidents of tills
kind will never ceaso until thots whose
carelessness or Inefficiency cause them are
hold to a strict account. rblla. Times.
The positive character of District At
torney Rapsber assures an early trial nf tbe
negligent employes charged with being re
sponsible for the Mud Hun holacost of ()-
tobcr 10, and on our knowleitgo of the
gentleman we can assure our cstrrmod con
temporary that the prosecution will handle
tbelr case In such a manner as to place ttitt
guilt where It rightfully belon.j. Tin
prosecution will not bo made In a ylni'.lc
tlve sulrlt, tbe ends of justlco and tbe dv
mands of common humanity will be satis
fled, and in this the prosecution wl'l have
done tbelr duty. What more is wanted?
A GItEAT ISSUE.
The most vital issue now before tbe peo
ple of Pensylvanla is, be oud question, tho
Prohibition amendment. It is gigantic in
proportions, inasmuch as it directly or in
directly concerns every man,- woman nml
child In this great commonwealth; in
moral sense it might truly bo said to over
shadaw tbe slavery question of over a quar
ter of a century ago. On account ot tbe
Importance and magnitude- of this great
lssuo the Cakdox Advocate opens It
columns to the use of Its readers in dls
cussing this question that Is of paramount
import to all. All communications musi
be plainly written, on but ono side of tin
paper, and must be short and to the point
We don't waut yard-long sentiments 01
personal abuse, but facts and arguments
that will Interest tho christian and the
saloon-keeper alike
J5V A VOTE OF THIItTY-TWO TO THIRTY
the Republican tariff bill, after nine hours
continuous discussion, passed the Senate on
Tuesday. The measure differs essentially
from tbe tariff bill proposed by tbe Demo
crats, but on the whole It Is perhaps, as fair
a document of the kind .as a Republican
Senate would be likely to pass. What the
common people of this country want Is pro
tection from the despotism of munoply 01
corporative greed, if the Senate tariff bill
was framed for and will effect this end tbe
people and the party can feel justly proud
of tbe labors of their Senators, If not
well, It wont be tbe first time "the peopli
have been hoodwinked.
There is oxit way to have a towk
progress and that is for every citizen to get
up and bump himself, support his borne
paper and encourage tho efforts of his
friends. Don't put a damper on every
thing by breathing of possible failure, etc,
but help tbo town to move along by pat
ting jour shoulder to the wheel and push
Ing with pluck and determination. ThU
Is the only way to gel out of the mire, and
when once out 3 ou ought to have sense
enough to stay out.
BltOTHEUS RaUCH AND M ALLOY ARE
at logger-heads just now because tbey can
not agree as to a proper distribution of the
political offices. In a nut-shell, however.
Jimmy wants to be Associate Judge and is
working himself into a fever beat because
"Old Rauch" divines bis secret. Be easy,
boys; the people of Carbon county will
elect Its officials regardless of the place ol
residence and contrary to tbe personal de
sires, perhaps, of either or both of jou.
The installment m an with his usual
large supply of mats, rugs, clocks, etc., lias
been "working" our town Ibis week pock
eting shekels that belong in tbe tills of oui
borne merchants. Still the merchants fail
to moye In the matter,' aud If tbey don't
why should tbe town council.
The fall of 'feathery flakes of
beautiful snow" on Sunday put a sudden
stop to farmers continuing their plowing,
The weather changed in less than twenty
four hours trom elberal mildness to blus

THE VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT.
The joint resolution to submit to a vote
of "the people a constitutional amendment
prohibiting tbe manufacture or sale of
intoxicating liquors finally parsed the
House Tuesday. Only 18 of the 204 mem
bers were absent on roll call, all tbe othert
putting themselves on record on one side or
tbe other. Tbe resolution now goes to tbe
Senate for concurrence, and the vote taken
In the House may be regarded as significant
of what that of the Semite will be.
After caucusing on the amendment the
Democrats of the House resolved to take no
action to bind tbe vote of the members.
They certainly displayed good sense in
rejecting Representative Ritter's proposi
tion that tbey should sit quietly In tbelr
seats aud not vote at all while tbe roll was
being called. What tbey did when the
question came up In tbe House ou tbe
final passage ot the joint resolution sub
mitting tbe amendment was to vote almost
in a body agklnst it 48 of tbe 60 Democrats
being so recorded, while 8 were absent and
e voted with tbe Republicans In favor of
submission. Those Democrats voting for
submission were Weber aud Farrell, of
Clearfield; Skinner, of Fulton; JKherry, of
Cumberland; Wood, of Lycoming, and Holti'
of Centre.
Of the 144 Republican members of tbe
House 125 voted for the amendment, 0
voted against it and 10 were absent. Of
tho 0 opposition votes 8 were from Alle
gheny, as. follows: Chalfant, Lafferty, Le
mon, Richards, Roblson, Sblras, Weaver
and White, tbe other opposltlan Republi
can being Flickinger, of Kile. Tbe 18 ab
sentees Included 10 Republicans and 8Dem
crats. Tbe result is such as to show a
pretty straight party division on tbe ques
tion, the opposition of the eight Allegheny
Republicans having more personal signifi
cance than auytblng else.
When the question was before the Sen
ate at the last session tbe Democrats gen
erally refuted to be recorded either way.
Tbe House Democrats have this time set
tbem an example for courage, at least, and
they will gain nothing by again refuting to
face the music. Those who do not record
' themselves In fayor of allowing tbe people
to tots on this question will bs put down
at against llPhlla. Timu.

BROADBRIM'S 1 Y. LETTER.
Once each year fashionable Now York
breaks its charmed circle, steps down from
Its elided throne, and mingles with the
common herd In the name of sweet Charily,
I don't mean to say that Mr. Arthur p.
Leary will lead the German with his wife's
mantua-maker, or that Mr. Hall McAlister
will dance the Landers with tbe wife of
the gentleman who does up his Worship's
linen. No, no, blood is blood, and blood
will tell. You can pay your ten dollars,
and you can go to the Charity Rail, and If
you have luck, and know them, jou can
see all the people in New York society.
Ostensibly P'c Iron touches elbows willi
tenpenny nails; but in reality It does noth
ing of the sort. Pig iron is still pig Iron
apt tenpency nails are still tenpenny nails
Uul all'Ncw York turns out, nevertheless,
because It is the proper thing to do, and
-tweet Charity profits thereby, scattering
untold blessings to the poor. Among these
tided aristocrats are many blessed angels,
whose appeals for help are ever heeded, be
cause they give freely of tbelr own. No;
the least among these is Jrs. Astor and
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbllt, ladles who are
Hver foremost In every good and charitable
work. January tbe eighth was the day
chosen for Charity's ball, and, as I said, it
brought out all New York. The sale of
the boxes brought several thousand dollars,
and the entire profits will not be known
for several weeks to come. As no one is
barred who has ten dollars to spare, and as
everybody wants to see our society leaders,
with the exception of tbe two great Ger
man balls, the Anon and the Llederkrantz,
and ball of the Cercle Francalse, there Is
no such crush to be seen at any ball in
New York.
Tbe list of patrons, beaded by Mrs Astor,
embraced every society leader in the city,
and President Grovcr Cleveland was given
a conspicuous place among the gentlemen;
the name of his lovel ir wife, however, was
notably absent from the list, the only con
celvable reason being that the first lady of
.be land would, ou this occasion have had
to take a second place, as the head of the
house of Astor Is our acknowledged Society
Queen, and she abdicates her throne for
no one not even for the wife of the
President.
The Metropolitan Theatre is the largest
ball-room in the dt, but, large as It Is, it
was scarcely large enough to contain the
thousands that rushed in to the Charlt.
Uall. It was a good-natured crowd, how
ever, and the show of diamonds and im
ported dresses was something uiarve ous.
Our creme de la creme got away early In
the actiou, but tbe crowd was great tha
their absence was scarcely noticed, and the
early hours on Wednesday were ringing
from the great church clock when the band
struck up "Home, Sweet Home."
Speaking of tbe Metropolitan Opera
House puts me in mind that we have just
produced at this magnificent theatre
IKagner's Rheingold; and for the benefit
of my out-of-town friends, If you want to
prououce the name of the great composrr
like a tip-top sawyer, call It Yogner, not
ll'agner. All musical New York has been
on tbe ttp-toe for months In expectation of
this wonderful production. Well, we have
seen It, and now, what? IKell, if a man
declares his honest conviction, what does
lie get? Numbskill, brute, savage, Ignora
mus, barbarian, sans-culotte, and every
other choice name in tbe vocabulary. Tbt
production of this piece has cost no end of
trouble and money. It Is a sort of mj tbo
logical hodge-podge, made up of dwarfs,
brownies, gnomes, mermaids, mermen,
Khein gods and Rbeln devils, and all sorts
of impossible and improbable monstrosities.
A more dissolute set of vagabonds than
these Rbeln gods It would be impossible to
conceive, and, as a matter of public safely,
tbe ver best place to keen such fellows
would bo in the bjttnm of the Rhine, al
belt these jolly gods were no great lovers of
cold water. Tte goddesses are prett)
enough, but are not safe persons to let run
loose around o' nights, and if tbey lived in
New York Instead of the bottom of the
Rhine, tbe chances are ten to one thai
they would be picked up by tbe police aud
sent to Blacknell's Island as disorderly
persons, wulle the principal character
would stand a good chance of going to
Stale's Pil.on for bigamy.
There is a dash of insanity about every
thing that Wagner ever wiote which gives
evidence of a distempered brain. All of
his later operas were produced for the
delectations of the mad King of Bavaria,
who eventually went bunting mermaids at
the bottom of the lake adjoining his palace.
It may be that Bishop Berkeley was right,
and that we are all as mad as March bares;
If we are not, It would not take many
doses ot Yogner to make us as crazy as
loons.
In the production of the effects of the
Rbetngold, no attention appears to have
been paid to tbe comfort of any one except
the composer himself and his royal patron.
To produce the effect of swimming on the
water wonderful machines have been In
vented, fifteen aud sixteen feet blgb; these
rock and float and dive and sink In the
most illusive manner on tbe waters ot the
Rhine. Mounted on the top of these are
Rhine daughters, and the feeling that
some or tnete spirits experience Is verv
much like being tossed about In a cockle
shell In a high sea. Now a German fairy
Is a very different thing from an English,
on Irish, or a French fairy. A very moder
ate Gerniau fairy weighs anywhere from
two hundred to two hundred and fiftj
pounds, solla beef, and a waist-band of
fiftj-lx inches Is not uncommon. It took
five men to move every fair, so that tbe
expenses ot tbe opera were enormous; but
New York footed the bill, and the bouse
was crowded eyery night,
I am Indebted to tbe New Yerk World
far tbe following lucid explanation of the
motive, which I know will lay my musical
readers under. lasting obligation: "This
uanteojary, and as yt by IKokUegta un
recorded motive, they call the Volapunk
motive, because It occurs every time In
H'agner's wonderful poetry ot primitive
time, has to be sung, and which translated
Into English reads Usla ahela, Uellajohels,
Wallalalaha, Ylhca, Wallalela, Yuhel,"
It Is an especial satisfaction to me to lay
tbe clear exposition of the Wagner motive
before my readers by tho aid of the IFortd's
musical young man. Is It a success? 1
should say so. At tbe opening ot the
Rhine scone, the honse went wild, men
poundrd on tbe seats, women screamed,
boys threw up their hats and girls danced.
Washington Connor waved bis handker
chief frantically, and another grave broker
clapped his hands, a thing he seldom docs,
except when ho has caught the market
short on Western Union or Missouri
Pacific. I came ana, feeling like Cleve
land when ho received tho election mows.
Tbe enthusiasm never touched me; I
know I looked like a Mugwump; I felt
guilty, but I can't help It, You way bang
me, cruclfj me, If you please, but I can't
and don't llko Vogner.
Tbo critic of the "Musical Times" In
forms me that the music of IVoden Is
written In thirty-two sharps, with occasion
al deml, semi, quavers and flats thrown In
between. Soldi and bis orchestra struggl
ed manfully up to tbe fall ot tho curtain,
which descended amid a storm of Cheers in
every Hying language: "Zare good,"
"Tres bon," "Bully for you," etc., etc.
etc. I'm musically squelched, but I sup,
pose I'll have to stand It. 1 don't like
Vogner.
A decided sensation of the week was the
commutation of tho sentence of Anion
Helch, aha brutal wife murderer. Relcb
was a Jew, and eyen after bis sentence
maintained that ha would never be ex
ecuted. Many Jews In New York teemed
to think It was an especial disgrace to tbe
raco that a Jew should suffer on the gal
Ions, thougti guilty. Rich merchants,
r.tbbls, law., era and thousands of others
signed a petition to the Governor for
commutation of sentence; and the Goyei
nor, remembering that a Presidential elec
tion occurs in 1802, no doubt thought it
might not be a bad Idea to cast an anchor
to windward; at any rate Reich got hi
commutation.
Tbe departure of Verestchagln, the
Russian ar'lst, has given rise to a very
funny story. I don't vouch for Its truth
but give It to you as I got It. When Mr,
Y"prestcha,tln started for this country, he,
although a gentleman of extensive travel
evidently had an Idea that he was going to
have some fine buffalo shooting In the vast
forests that surround the cities of Brooklyn
;g1 New York. He thought a deer or au
elk might be picked off from the Brooklyn
Bridge, as they were swimming tbe East
River, wbllo bis chances for bear were not
bad in tho regions of Central Park or
along tho shores of Coney Island. Mr,
Verestchagln Is an exceedingly good look-
Id man and be knows It, and his stand
Ing In the art world Is assured by the fact
that he himself has discovered tbe onlt
true principles of art on which a solid
foundation can be built and that Vandyke,
Correglo, Raphael. Rubens, Claude Lorra
Ine, ad homme genns were a lot of old
fogies, who know no more ot tbe true
principles of art than a cow does of a
musket. He expected to Interview Sioux
aad Pawnees on tbe Battel y, and to secure
the relics of barbarous Indian massacres in
front of the City Hall. He left hero a few
days ago a ycry rauch disappointed man
Is assumption made blra a laughing-stock
among artists, and bis intolerable vanity
shut the doors of society against him
which if be had come less offensively
might possibly have given him a hearing.
A few small shopkeepers and Russian
traders Invited him to dinner or lea, but
our society people took no notice of him,
and tbe great body of artists, gave him the
go by. This nettled him so that when he
left us ho considered u greater savages
than when he arrived. He was thoroughly
illogusted, and shook the dust of New
Yoik from his feet as he stepped on tbe
steamer. There were not many to see the
renowned Russian artist off, but there
were a tew, and amoug them an American
gentleman who was a slucere admirer of
his works, Tbe gentleman, as tbe steamer
was starting, wished him Bon towage, and
nan-led him a box of very Que cigars,
Verestchagln took them, bowed In compll
mem, and looking tbe donor squarely In
tbe eye, stepped to the side of the steam
ship and dropped them overboard Into the
water. I hoie the story is not true,
thought Verestchagln a gentleman. If It
Is true, It Is evident that I have made a
gross mistake.
We have frequently read of tornadoes In
lb ICest, and natural!; supposed that they
were entirely a Western product; but the
other day we had a rude awakening. The
toruado that left sucii ruin in its track Ir
Pennsylvania passed us with little damage
in New York, but It gave Brooklyn a
sbaklugup that It will not be likely to
forget. By a singular coincidence two
great gasometers of the .Municipal Gas
Company blew np just as tbe tornado
struck tbe city, and what with tbe dreadful
war ot tbe elements and the terrific gas ex
plosion, many thought that the end of the
world bad come. Since then the weather
has been lovely the air balmy, and tbe
parks as green as In spring.
