FRIDAY EVENING, OCT. 21, 1881.
A Groundless Revelt.
The Erie Herald says that it is all
moonshine te declare that " as yet net a
Democrat has been found in Erie who
will net vote for him (Neble) and hun
dreds of Republicans will." That may
be se, but a geed way for the Herald te
show the misstatement would be te re
spond te the invitation of its neighbor,
the Observer, which offers it a dollar a
head for all the Democrats in Erie whose
names it will print as declaring that they
will net vote for Neble. And, by the
way, " moonshine " i3 a very expressive
epithet te apply te this strange assault
upon Neble at his home by a journal
professing te be attached te the Demo
cratic party. "We like honest indepen
dence, and if Mr. Neble is net fit te be
state treasurer we should applaud
his home paper for being courageous
enough te se declare.theugh it should thus
assail its party candidate. But obvious
ly it must prove its position te justify
it ; and the Herald has se far net shown
geed grounds for its rebellion. It gives
its eplHipn very warmly, but does net
sustain it by facts. It thus happens that
it has net produced much impression by
its opposition, and cannot gather mere
than a corporal's guard about it te sus
tain it en its own dunghill. If it cannot
persuade the Democrats of Erie, it cer
tainly cannot expect betlersuccess among
these of the state. It makes a moon meon moen
shiner's assault, inspired by secret rea
sons ; net an attack upon whose inspira
tion it can threw the sunlight. It is very
silly for it te say that Mr. Neble was
fit te go te the Assembly, and it advo
cated his election because " almost any
man is competent te act as an assembly
man ;' but "few men can administer the
vast revenues of a state successfully,"
and se it opposes Mr. Neble's election as
treasurer. The Herald, in taking this
remarkable position, seems te concede
that -Mr. Neble is intelligent and incor
ruptible ; two chaiacteristics certainly
needed te make a man " competent te
act as an assemblyman," and equally es
sential te lit him te be a state treasurer ;
but it denies him the business capacity
which a treasurer needs in addition. A
very strange denial, indeed, in view of
Mr. Neble's extremely successful career
as a business man. The people of the
state will be very likely te be satisfied
that Mr. Neble has business capacity
sufficient te get creditably through with
the duties of state treasuier, since he
has had what has sufficed te secure him
large wealth : and if he is admitted te
be incorruptible, he is just the man they
want. We fear the Herald gnaws a file.
The Laud League's Aim.
Our idea that the ultimate aim of the
Irish Land League was agrarian has
been confirmed by the direction new
given te its members te pay no rents for
the lands they held ; which means that
they hliall appropriate them as their own
and deny their landlords' ownership.
That is a doctrine which we said would
net suit the American people, who be
lieve in the right of property; and it is
net likely t hat our intelligent Irish fellow
citizens will give of their substance te
encourage their fellow-countrymen at
home te steal. They will approve of
he halt which Archbishop Croke
has called in (lie Land League's
progress, and affirm with him that
the Irish tenantry cannot justly
claim mere than that the rental of the
lands they occupy, but de net own, shall
be fairly assess jd. This was the origi
nal pregramme of the Laud League
leader., as publicly announced, and un
der it they have gained the sympathy
and material aid in this country which
is their life. The ultimate purpose, as
new avowed, we de net believe will be
approved by the geed sense of American
Irishmen, as it is net approved by the
strong head of the Archbishop of
Gishcl. Without American support
and that of the Irish clergy, it
is certain that the League can de noth
ing ; from the one source it gets the
money that enables its members te held
out in their struggle, and from the ether
the moral support which is just as neces
sary. The probable result will be the
cessation of agitation until the land
commission is given a chance te fix fair
rentals ; and permanent quietude.if they
are made what they should be

After a Leng Time.
After very long delay Assistant Post
master General Tyner retires for an
offense committed under the adminis
tration of Mr. Hayes. Then it was net
considered an offense ; under that of
Mr. Garfield it seems te have beeivroeked
upon with a doubtful eye ; while Mr.
Arthur, being an Eastern man without
any especial fondness for Hoosiers,brings
the a.e down upon the Indianian as upon
one wholly without excuse. What Mr.
Tyner did was te find out the rascality
practised in the star route Icttings,
and content himself with reporting
them te the postmaster general,
that very respectable Southern gen
tleman Judge Key. Mr. Tyner thinks
he did all his duty in making
his report .te his superior. But
President Arthur seems te think that he
ought te have known and did knew that
Postmaster General Key was of no ac
count and that a report made te him
might as wdl have remained unmade,
the real administrators of the office be
ing the the nominal assistants, Tyner
and Brady, of which the second was
greater than the first. It seems a little
hard en Tyner thnt he loses his head be
cause he discovered Brady's little game
and told his chief about it. Probably,
however, there is a reasonable suspicion
that his subsequent torpidity was bought
and paid for.

The lltiselilbh Act that Caused Ralph Cure
te be Hurled A live.
While Mr. Ralph Gere, the contractor,
was superintending the work in the new
sewer, at Erie, aud while he was at the
bottom of the excavation, the earth began
te give away. He stepped aside and let all
in his employ cscape ahead of him, and
then the earth fell en him. His head could
be seen just abeve the earth. "I think
my legs arc broken, gentlemen." ha said,
'but set te work and dig me out of my
grave." He speke encouragingly and made
light of the accident. While the workmen
were diggiuji the ether bauk was seen te be
giving away. It was ever the spot where Mr.
Gere steed wedged in as if in a vise. Five or
six hundred tens of earth and rock must
come down unless a miracle intervened.
The laborers had cleared away the earth as
far as Mr. Goie's shoulders, but new they
had te fly for their own lives. Next mo
ment the man was alone. Above hiin was
the tottering avalanche, and en the south
bank steed a crowd of people with
pallid faces. The leek of despair that
he gave when he took in the
situation will never be forgotten.
He made one mero desperate struggle te
extricate himself and then resigned him
self te his fate. He fixed his eyes en the
slowly moving mass and watched it creep
nearer and nearer te the point where he
knew it would leceive sufficient
impetus te be hurled down upon
him. " Ged help me," he cxclaimcd,nud
the awc-strickcu crowd echoed the wish.
Then his lips were seen te move in prayer,
and the landslide moved faster. It received
a temporary check but agaiii glided en
towards the brink. The suspense at this
moment was terrible. A large school
opposite had just let out, and the teachers
and children had gathered en the brink.
Men, women and children sobbed aloud and
some knelt iu prayer. The avalanche was
new within two feet of the point where the
bank became steeper. Slowly it crept :
inch by inch the point was reached ; its
pace quickened, there was a rush, and the
next moment 500 tens of earth plunged
ever the brink and fell with a crash en top
of the man's head. Later in the day the
body was recevsretl a shapeless mass.

Sensible advice te Democrats by the
Pittsburgh Pest :
The Democrats who vote for Wolfe,
with whose warfare en the Cameren ma
chine all Democrats undoubtedly sympa
thize, should understand that by se doing
they are helping te success the very ma
chine Wolfe is assailing. The purpose of
his campaign is te defeat Baily by a
division of the Republican vote and
thus compel the Republican party te
abandon Cameren leadership and con
trol. Wc think this would be a geed
thing for all parties as well as the geed
name of the state, There would be less
corruption iu politics and legislation. But
if Democrats threw their votes away en
Wolfe they indirectly aid the machine
bosses Wolfe's campaign will be a ridic
ulous fiasco unless he defeats Bailey and
se teaches the boss a lessen. The way for
Democrats te aid Wolfe in this praise
worthy enterprise is te adhere te their own
candidate, for if Bailey is defeated it will
be by Orange Neble. Wolfe will get a big
vote, we have no doubt, but he will be a
bad third in the race. Rspublican votes
for him will count as a pretest against
Camereu rule. Democratic votes for him
will aid the Cameren nandidate.

The military reviews at Yorktown waie
successfully carried out, and all the organi

circuit of the Temple farm and about four
miles in length, ever bread fields, with
nothing te obstruct the march. One hour
and twenty minutes was consumed in pass
ing a given point.
lien the head of the precession reached
the grandstand Geueral Hancock and staff
rode at the head, but they then fell out of
line,- aud with President Arthur and his
cabinet and the foreign guests and ether
dignitaries reviewed the tioeps from the
grand stand. General Hancock stated te
the presideut that there were 9,500 men
in line. The states represented by the
volunteers were Georgia, New Jersey,
Delaware, Pennsylvania, Massashusctts,
Maryland, Seuth Carolina, New Hamp

The impression seems te be that the
competition for marching lies between the
Thirteenth Brooklyn and the New Jersey
troops.
The president was quite enthusiastic

only colored troops in line were two com
panies from Richmond, composing a part
of the Fiist Virginia regiment. They were

C1IAKUKD WITH DANCING.
The siiilul Forlerinunco or a Geed Chinch
.Member.
The case of II. Donaldsen, esq., of Oil
city, which was squelched for the tim by
the Clarien presbytery last May, will be
revived next week before the synod in Erie
of the Presbyterian church which meets at
Ei icon the 20th iust. Mr. Donaldsen was
suspended from the Presbyterian com
munion of Emlcnteu, Pa., last spring for
trying te dance at a private party. Mr.
Donaldsen was an active member of the
church for several years. While out with
a sleighing party in April, though he
didn't understand the art of dancing, en
deavored te walk through a quadrille,
thinking it te be an innocent amusement.
Thccldcis of the church considered this
grave offense, and cited the erring ene te
appear befoie them te answer the charge
of having danced. Mr. Donaldsen ap
peared and admitted that he had tried te
dance; but his attempt had net been a
graceful success. The session suspended
him until he should repent. Donaldsen
appealed te the presbytery of Clarien
That ceuit seemed even firmer against
dancing than the Emlcnteu session, and
sustained the session by a vote of 22 te 1.
Mr. Donaldsen new gees te synod and will
be defended before that reverend body by
Dr. D. L. Carnahan, of Oil City, Rev. T.
S. Loasen, of Brooklyn, aud David Law
son, esq., of Clai ion, Pa., will plead the
cause of tlfts Presbytery. Much interest is
felt in the case in many localities, net only
among church officers and members who
are anxious te knew what will be the final
stand of the church in regard te this fash
ionable amusement, hat also among ethers
who leek en disinterestedly and watch the
pregicss of liberty in ecclesiastical as well
ar. civil aflaiis.
A neighborhood new spa per comments en
the case in this vein :
The case of Mr. II. Donaldsen, which
will be up before the Presbyterian synod
at Eric, seems te indicate that some of the
rulers of the church will net allow a church
member te be courteous se long as the
courtesy has anything te de with dancing.
Our information en the subject is that Mr.
Donaldsen, a member of the churih at
Emlcnteu, was at a house one evening,
where Uiclc was a paity ; he being an iu
vitcd guest. IIe was net a dancer, preb
ably did net knew hew te dance, but danc
ing was the eulcr of the evening, aud one
person was lackiug te fill up a set ; iu
elder that the enjoyment should net be
stepped for want of ene person Mr. Don Don
aldeon took the place and straddled through
the cotillion as well as he knew hew,
with we suppose, no "lascivious"
thoughts, and presumably with no
particular pleasure te himself, the fact of
his dancing being merely te accommodate
ethers, and he was actuated probably by
the same spirit as was the sailorwhe went
into the chinch, under the impres
sion that, it was a theater, and heard the
minister speaking about the sheep and the
ireats, and who propounded the question,
"Who will be the geaf?" The sailor

Till': .STRIKE OF THE GIUL.S.
Utfiising te Werk Without Their Favorite
foreman.
"Harry or no work!" was the cry of
400 girls in the stripping room at Loril Leril
lard's tobacco factory in Jersey City en
Monday, as they left their benches and
their work, and steed defiantly before
Feieman Quindlass. It was Mr. Quind
lass' s first day as one of the foremen in
that room, and he had begun his work
with au energy and severity, according te
the stories of the girls, which te them
was simply unbearable. The girls say
that his lit st official act was te fine them
forty-five pounds of tobacco, which at
2 j ceuts a pound, the price paid them for
stripping it. would be equivalent te $1.01.
This penalty was imposed, they say, for no
just cause, but upon the pretext that their
work was net well and thoroughly done.
The leperis are, however, entirely con
tradictory upon this point. In any case
the girls arose in the anger and their
might when they learned that Mr. Quind
lass had been sent te take charge ever
them in place of their favorite foreman,
narry Archibald. They declared stoutly
that they would net work unless Harry
was restored te his place, and, with the
cry " Harry or no work !" they prepared
te desert their benches.
Mr. Hearn, the superintendent, came
upon tlie scene at that moment, and the
gii Is went back te work for the remainder
of the day. At night they left the build
ing in a chattering, multitude. They re
turned Tuesday morning, and gathered in
the stieet about the entrance te the fac
tory. Seme few entered the building.
The girls range in age from 13 te 33 years,
and some of the elder ones declared for a
strike unless Archibald was lcstered. They
scut te the superintendent, Mr. Hearu de
claring their purpose. He refused te lis
ten, te their terms, and the strike was be
gun. The yeuger girls did as they wcre
told by their ciders, and all remained out.
They gathered in groups in Bay and First
streets, opposite the factory, and made
merry.
They returned agaiii early yesterday
morning and lay in wait for Billy Jenes,
another foreman in the same room, upon
whose shoulders the girls placed the re
sponsibility of their favorite Harry's re
moval. " We are going te lick him," said ene of
the ringleaders.
However, as Mr. Jenes took geed care
net te expose himself te their fur', the
girls contented themselves with-forming
in line and marching around the great
building singing songs. They were mar
shaled by Nellie Sullivan, a discharged
employee, who had returned te the scenes
of her former labors te erganize and con
duct this'slrike. She addressed the girls
and encouraged them.
Harry Archibald says that the first he
knew of his discharge was upon reaching
the factory en Monday. He was told that
Quindlass had been put in his place, and
that he would be transferred te another
room in which he had formerly worked.
He declined te accept the transfer, and
left the factory. When he asked why he
was removed, he says, Mr. Uearn told him
that it was because he didn't line the girls
enough and was net strict enough.
"I knew I ain't a very smart man," he
said te the reporter, "but I was a friend
te the gals and te myself. I never decked
them or sacked them without cause. These
gals is nothing te me I'm a married man
but I tried te treat them fairly."
' Why did they fellow you when you
left?"
'Well, I don'tknew. I wish they'd all go
back te work te morrow, and I'd go back
te work for a day myself te take the gals
back. "
Superintendent Hearu was found sittiug
en the steps of the factory.
" Why was Archibald removed ?"
"He was incompetent. He hadn't disci
plinc,aud he couldn't coutrel the girls.
They'd walk all ever him. "
" Why did the girls strike?"
"They wanted a holiday Itakeit. They'll
be glad enough te come back in a few
days, when they have cooled down. "
Is the work of the factory affected ?'
"Of course. Everything depends en
the work of the strippers The dipping
room is first affected and that has closed,
throwing 200 men and boys out of work,
temporal ily."
Seme of the girls have drawn up and
sinned a statement of their grievances.
A COUSTKIUILAST.
lYut'luiiiatien of the League by the lttitlsh
Government Archbishop CreKe Strongly
Ceiidems the Manifesto or the
League
Earl Cowper, Lord Lieutenant of Ire
land, has, in a proclamation, declared the
Land League te be an illegal organization
and warned the Irish people that its meet
ings, of all kinds or in any place will be
dispersed by force.
The facts regarding the preparation and
issue of the Land League's "no lent"
manifesto are interesting. The resolution
declaring that no rent should be paid was
decided en Friday night at a private meet
ing of the executive. Messrs. Dillen, O'
Kelly aud Biggar voted against the step,
but wcre in the minority. Mr. T. D. Sul
livan and ethers voted for it. The mani
festo was prepared en Saturday and smug
gled into Kitmainham by a clerk of Mr.
McGaugh, a solicitor of the League.
A meeting of the prisoners was
held during recreation time, when Mr.
Parnell, Mr. Hrennan, Mr. Sexten, Mr.
Kettlo and otters carried the manifesto.
It was then signed by the members, whose
names were attached and taken out under
the nesss of the authorities. Mr. Davitt's
authority was obtained thrergh a priest or
warder in Portland. The government is
se angry at the use made of the solicitors
that it has issued an order that both the
doctor and solicitors of the prisoner should
only visit them in the presence of a war
der. Visits of every kind except these of
physician.? are lermuuen ler six days.
Even Mr. Parnell's solicitor is re
fused admittance, Dr. Kenncy has writ
ten the governor of the jail that if he is
subjected te this iudignity he will no
longer attend the jail, whita the prisoners
resolve net te allow the prison doctor te
attend them. The guards of the prison
have been doubled. Mr. Derris has been
taken te Duudalk jail, the authorities
desiring that he should net be able
te reveal the doings of the League out
side te the prisoners. His arrest
was the immediate result of having signed
the circular sent te the League branches
instructing the farmers te issue bogus
mortgage and bills of sale of tiic property
aud interests in their holding of shop
keepers and friends, iu order te prevaat
landlords from seizing them for rent. Trfis
reckless and outrageous step was immedi
ately discovered by the government, and,
with the "no rent" manifesto, luuricd
the declaration of the illegality of the
league.
lir. Croke's Rebuke.
Archbishop Creke has written a public
letter entirely disapproving of the Land
League manifesto of no lent in the follow
ing letter :
" Thukles, Oct. 19. I have just read
with the utmost pain and iudeed with ab
solute dismay a manifesto issued by the
leading patriots incarcerated in Kilmain-
ham jail and publicly proclaimed te the
country from the Land League rooms,
Sack vi He street. Against the committal
of the people of this country, even under
still mere exciting and critical circum
stances than the present, te the doc
trine of non-payment of rent, but for a
certain specified time, I must and hereby
de enter my solemn pretest. At no
time an enrolled member af the League, I
have been a steadfast, uncompromising
supporter of its public policy as a whole,
believing the same te b thoroughly legal,
constitutional aud calculated te lead te
great national results I am precisely of
the same opinion still, but 1 have invari
ably and unequivocally stated that I steed
out for fair rents and nothing mero ; for
the safe foothold of the agricultural classes
upon the Irish soil, that they should be
wholesomely fed, fairly clothed and su it
ably ledged, and that the absolute repudia
tien of rent, should it ever hnd public
expression in Ireland would meet with
ue sympathy irem me. such are my
views. I regret te have been obliged te
say se much.
"I held te the original platform of the
Irish National Land League. There is no
mere reason for abandoning it new then
there was when Davitt teak possession of
his cell in Portland or when Dillen, with
his two hundred companions, were com
mitted te Kilmainham jail. It was a suf
ficiently clastic policy. It was a righteous
policy, tested by experience and results.
It was a successful policy, aud it welded
bishops, priests and laymen into one living
brotherhood of national work. It pains
me, then, sorely te think that any attempt
should new be made te displace the old
lines, cspacia'lyjby the very men by whom
they were se judiciously laid down. Any
hew I thoroughly believed in the policy of
the past in all its substantial branches,
and I quite as firmly believe that the policy
new se impetuously recommended te the
country iustcad, besides being condemned
en the grounds of principle and expediency,
can lead te nothing but disintegration and
defrat. "T. W. Croke,

The Baptist Clergy Denounce l'elygaiuy.
At the ministers' union of the Baptist
association, in Reading yesterday, the fol
lowing officers were elected : President,
Rev. G. D. Pepper, professor in Crozier
theological seminary ; vice presidents,
Rev. L. II. Hernberger, of Philadelphia,
and Geerge Whitman, of Oil City ; secre
tary, J. Q. Judd. Harrisburg ; treasurer.
Rev. A. II. Sembewer, Reading. Res
olutions were adopted expressing hearty
sympathy with the judgement ex
pressed in the inaugural address
of the late President Garfield as
te the criminality and disgrace of po
lygamy and as te the duty of the United
States te suppress by legal action this
offense against decency and public policy
and this crime against the female sex and
against the coming generation. Resolu
tions in reference te the death of President
Garfield were also passed. A Sunday
school mass meeting was held last evening.
Addresses were made by Rev. T. A.
Myler, of Allegheny City, and W. II.
Shoemaker, of Philadelphia. The associ
ation adjourned.
HE WANTED COLO.
An Ohie Bondholder Who Carried Away
Seventy-nve Pounds et Deuble Eagles
r from Washington.
An old gentleman from the interior of
Ohie, arrived in Washington a few days
age with $17,000 in United States C per
cent, bends, which he purchased iu 1801,
and which were called in July last. He
first visited the lean division, where he
said he came te obtain geld for his bends,
as he had paid geld for them. When told
that a draft en the United States treasury
was as geed as geld, he insisted upon the
geld, and would net listen te any explan
ation regarding an equivalent in another
form.
Yesterday, a little before neon, he ap
peared with a large leather valise, in which
he carried off the full amount of his claim
in $20 geld pieces, weighing in all about
seveuty-rive pounds. He becarae very
much provoked with Treasurer Gilfillan
when that officer endeavored te persuade
him te accept drafts and have them cashed
when he reached home, reiterating that he
came here for geld, and declining te take
anything clse. He staggered under his
heavy lead as far as Assistant Treasurer
Wyman's room, where he expressed a wish
te count his treasure before leaving town.
A room was assigned te him for that pur
pose. .

at the Opera
Fuu lulcd the hour, or rather the three
geed solid hours, at Fulton opera heuse
last night, during which Smith & Mcs
tayer's party of " Tourists in a Pullman
ralaceCar" made merry before an and i i
ence that crowded the building te the
walls aud put standiug room at a premium
ero the time arrived for the rolling up
of the curtain. The performance was sub
stantially the same as upon the former
appearance of the troupe, though some
incidental alterations have been made that
de net add te its attractions. The fuu
ran fast and furious throughout three
succeeding acts, and though the main
portion of the audience was kept in a
rearing mood and maintained a continual
fusilade of explosive laughter, at times
there was a suspicion among a portion of
the people that they were getting mero
than their money's worth "tee much of a
geed thing," as it were aud they would
cheerlully have regarded a moderation or
curtailment. Seme of the scenes and in
cidents are positively stupid and weaken
the effect of better ones preceding or fol
lowing them, but, as just stated, the
great body of the audience were net iu a
particularly discerning or captious humor,
and consequently laughed immoderately
all the time. Beyond a doubt the " Tour
ists " made a pronounced hit.
Though, en the whole, the troupe has
suffered iu the changes that have been
made in its personnel since its appearance
here last spring, Mestayer still leads the
party and he is a whole show himself;
while, te offset in a measure the palpable
less apparent iu the musical merit of the
combination, must be mentioned the ad
dition of a remarkably geed soprano,
whobe owner, Miss Florence D. Kellogg,
is a charming little creature, pretty and
vivacious, with thorough command of a
voice that possesses the admirable quali
ties of strength, sweetness and purity, and
shows fiue timbre throughout. Her top
notes, reaching 'way up in the Ieger Hues,
are taken apparently without effort, and
her trilling effects arc very cleverly pro
duced. Seme of the ether voices are fair
ly geed, but Miss Kellogg's rendition of
the "Pelenaise" from " Mignon " was
the gem of the evening.
Prof. Muller's violin performance at the
end of the second act was a feature of nole
and included seme capital imitations of the
sounds produced by various denizens of
the barnyard. IIe was vigorously encored
and responded with an imitation of a cabi
net organ playing softly.

At the meeting of the Oxford Medical

the case of the late President Garfield, in
which the diagnosis and management by
the surgeons were severely criticised by
the doctor and ether members, who regard
ed the whole as uncertain, bnngliu g and
humiliating te the profession of this coun

formed and the report of the same as un

done.
