LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCER SATURDAY APRIL 29 1882. Lancaster iiteliiflencet. SATURDAY KVBNINO, APRIL 29, 1889. Snltk'8 Iadepeadeaala. 'r Our Pennsylvania Republicans are crying te one another V, peace! peace! when there is no peace," and when there can be none in the very nature of the case. Even while the Cameraman side are offering te embrace the outsiders, we see that they have ejected one Lancaster collector te give place tea-Stalwarfrad-herent. The kiss they offer while their hand is raised against their brother, and their dagger bloody from bis wounding. They may perhaps say that in removing Collector Wiley they only struck at Con gressman Smith, and that he is net an Independent te speak of. But Mr. Smith is especially independent in a certain sense. He is distinctly aad emphatically for Smith .aad antirtly "independent of any ether relations. He has pretty well demonstrated that he carries his Repub lican constituency in Lancaster county in his breeches pocket, and has secured a life tenancy of its representation in Congress. Being independent of the Cameren gang, they have steadily been aeainsthim: until new they have be come convinced of his lien upon his place; and their present idea seems te be te concede te him te have the paddock they can't get him out of, but te fence him around in it se that he won't be of any account outside. They consider that he will be content with the peace ful concession te him of his place, and will net give them any trouble. It is said that upon receiving their intima tion that they would net stand in his congressional path, our representative became calmly resigned te the substitu tion of their friend Kauffman for his friend Wiley in the collector's office ; and won't even take up arms with the "Wolfe people te revenge himself for the slights he he has received in the Heuse at the hands of the Cameren speaker. Mr. Smith undoubtedly is a philosopher who does the best he can in untoward circumstances and don't kick against the pricks. lie can't be called an Independent of the Wolfe style. It is essentially a Smith style, and it may be true enough that the Cameren negotia tion with Mr. Smith and their handling of the federal offices in his district ought te be regarded as a matter entirely dis tinct and apart from their present dealing with the Independents of the state. Still, the organ of that party here makes a great fuss ever the indignity offered Mr. Smith in the removal of Collector Wiley, and seems exceedingly anxious te shove him into the Independent party. It is welcome te him if it can get him ; but it will have te de some very Bteut work te get him in. The treatment of Mr. Smith here sim ply shows that Senater Cameren and his friends mean te control the official and the political situation by hook or by creek ; by buying or fighting or cheat ing ; or by the whole combined. They concede Smith his bene since they can't get it. but take off all the fat. They get rid of the troublesome Wickersham by sending him te Denmark. The Inde pendents' committee, which is negotia ting with them, can learn the game from their exhibitions of it. It is an old game. They steep te conquer, but never have an idea of peace. That is quite out of their calculations, which aim solely at the capture and decapitation of the lambs, who are te be deceived into pull ing down the fence between them. Ke-Ferm and Reform. The Reformer's let is net a happy one. At least net the let of the Re-former within the lines of the Republican party in this county. Fer many years he was consistent, if net successful, in boldly protesting against machine methods and ring nominations; and if he "hardly ever'' wen within the party lines, he at least chastised the bosses and taught them a lessen occasionally by sallying out, joining with the Democrats and accomplishing some real reform. He was always gladly welcomed back te the party household, and generally feasted with fatted calf. Four years age he con ceived the notion of abandoning principle and taking te policy. lie has been " fighting the devil with fire." He has only get his fingers badly burned for his pa 1!Js. He elected and re-elected Sena Sena eor Warfel and the corporation and Cam Cam eeon influences at Harrisburg always knew where te lay their hands en him " when he was needed." S"e class of legislators are mere serviceable te them than these who wear the livery of re form and are always te be had " if need ed." The Re-former invented Senater Myliu and he has been "returned te plague the inventor." The Re-former has had serious trouble preventing Rep resentative Landia's vaulting ambition from overleaping itself and tumbling him into the entanglement of the Loch Lech iel web. The Re-former discovered Roe buck and it wasn't long until he found that he had caught another Tartar. He saw " the Cameren ring disrupted ' ' when, with desperate exercise of the most corrupt appliances, he elected McMellen, Edgerly, Greff, Ceble & Ce. But the illegal fee business kept en flourishing, the county funds were only handed ever te the ether firm of cattle drovers, and tb.e administration of the county com missioners closed with-a perfect " carni val " of rapacious raids en the county treasury, for which there has never been any shadow of a defense made, except the recommendation of the two judges appended te-the exorbitant and illegal bills that the grabbers should be " very liberally compensated," and the extra judicial suggestion of Judge Livingston te Ike Bushong that he "could make no mistake" in paying Urban's bill, for which the county was no mere liable , than for Judge Livingston's butcher bill. Fer these rascalities the Reform organ has only made the feeble apology of a baseless allegation that there was "a judicial decision" te sustain them which it has never yet produced er,w if it has indulged in still feebler denuncia tion of some of them, It" was only after it had quarreled with th perpetrators en issues which involved'ne upright princi ple. Shaking off afilliatien with one set of thieves the Re-former has linked himaeli te another. After having vainly helped Sensenig and Eshleman te earn the money they had invested in Ebertj's nomination, tiies Re-farmer last year came jap sidling aid presetedrbimalf before the t public? with headquarters in JHhe eastleen thealley" and,suppbrted en one side by Sensenig and en the ether by Picayune Jehnsen, he helped te elect part of their ticket, abandoning the contest for Sensenig's speculative candi nate for prothenotary only when he found that it would develop greater frauds practised by the Re-former than against him. Reviewing the adminis trations of these whom he did elect, he finds the eye of the illegal fee taker undimmed and his natural force unabated. He sees that in the Re-form sheriff's office the little finger of the old ring is heavier than the loins of the Re former ; and that in the office of the clerks of the courts there is likewise no change of men or methods from the days when the Re-former had net captured them. And new that another primary is upon us we find the Re-former in the same old company, and inviting the public te a feast of the warmed up dishes that were spread by the " Ringsters" three years age. Fer recorder and so licitor the candidates of .the New Era faction, are new exactly these whom the Examiner supported in 1879, the New Era then opposing them for the same reason that it new supports them they are the candidates of Levi Sensenig with whom the Re-former is yoked up in the hunt for "loot and booty." There is one way that the much needed reform in Lancaster county politics can be effected. It is net the Re-former's way. Last fall's experience showed that there were 1,500 Independent voters here. There are many mere. That number were brought out without any organization te speak of and against the Re-former and his organ who supported the Cameren state ticket, regarding " a Democrat' as even a greater "evil" than Cameren. If these 1,500 and the 5,000 te whom they can seen be swelled will make a declaration for an Inde pendent, real reform movement in this county, te purify the administration of of its public affairs, te suppress illegal fee taking, te disregard even the rec ommendation of the court for "very lib eral compensation " te jobbers and job bery, and te condemn its easy tolerance of "the prostitution of justice" in behalf of " the best workers " ; and if they will show a disposition te prove this faith by making up a ticket of unexceptionable men for public office, regardless of party, net one of whom is an office-hunter and net one of whom will spend a dollar te elect himself or incur any ether obligation te rob the public then there are here 11,000 Democratic votes, an eflicient organization, and a daily newspaper, which has never shielded nor hesitated te denounce fraud, local, state or na na tienal, committed by its party or any ether, which will very speedily be added te and which will very effectively render successful any honest, non-partisan movement for reform in Lancaster county, where it is se sorely needed. An esteemed local contemporary " cannot but leek upon the step which Mrs. Garfield has just taken in the phy sician's quarrel as very ill advised," Mrs. Garfield having certified that Dr. Bliss was net called upon by her or her husband te attend him. We cannot as sent te the views that this "is a ques tion about which the public no longer concerns itself and which should be al lowed te drop into oblivion as quickly as possible ;" especially as it is proposed by Congress te pay Bliss $25,000 for as suming the direction of the case as he swore falsely it seems by request of the stricken executive in his wife's pre sence. This would be at the rate of $300 per day or mere than twice the salary of .the president himself, and nearly double what it is proposed te pay Drs. Hamilton and Agnew for their distin guished services, summoned tee late te supplement Bliss' incapacity successfully The proposed fee is an outrageous imposition, unless,as we have suggested, it is proposed te award it te Bliss for the damage which his reputation has suffered. Mrs. Garfield is te be highly commended for breaking through the reserve of her sorrow te aid in the expo sure of one who seems te unite the qual ities of a rapacious adventurer and pre tentious charlatan. Te-day the Republican flats will cast their votes ; te-morrow the sharps will count them, and en Monday there will r be the usual " carnival of fraud." The first political office that Arthur ever held was by the favor of Bess Tweed who made him counsel te one of his tax com missioners. The New Era laid in a fresh stock of " check" before it urged that the voters should take 'Marriett Brosius out of bad company by voting for J. W. Jehnsen. After the 1st of May a person using prefane languge in the state of New Yerk may be arrested, taken directly before a magistrate, and if convicted, sent te jail for ten days. This is worse than the Lan dis law against getting drunk. A tiiree-cebxered contest for a seat in Pittsburgh's common council is the atest political novelty reported from the Smoky City. All of the contestants claim te have been fairly chosen and the face of the returns shows that there was indeed some unusually close nicking in the vote, Manning's being -set down as 194, Mo Me Guire'a193 and Sheridan's 182. A new Democratic weekly has made its appearance at Easten under the name and title of the Northampton Democrat, publish ed by J. J. Cepe and T. F. Emmens. It starts ent well, is permeated by correct political doctrine, presents the news in an attractive form, and will no doubt prove quite an accession te the journalism of the Lehigh Valley. ' The Pittsburgh Pett don't believe Blaine is a "coward," for " the substitute he sent te the war, is said te have fought bravely, and that was ceurage.by proxy." The Fast is probably net aware that Blaine's substitute fought for his country in the cushioned chair of a provost mar h'aaU's office, whence he was removed only te jail, upon conviction for malfeasance, and thenceforth he represented Mr. Blaine in a striped uniform. That was a sort of foai-te-two political enferance down at Christiana, which the New Era tells about, where Sam Slokem, with Calvin Carter and two of the Mc Gowans, sat in judgment en Henry Worst's chances for the legislature. If Worst had scrutinized the make-up etthe beard he might have seen the identical " black spot near the tale " en each mem ber of it, unless whitewashed ever for the occasion. There is still hope for Majer Griest's pension. A battle-scarred veteran up in Vermont has just received $1,800 under the arrears of pensions act " for injuries received by falling off an army wagon when he was se grossly intoxicated as te be unable te keep his seat." It seems te us that this was a less deserving case than that of our esteemed local ' contem porary, who, while gallantly serving his country as a sutler, fell fiem a cracker wagon mule and unfitted one of his wrists for decent editorial work. Tue wonderful recuperative powers of France aie largely due te her admirable system of small farms, whose tillers find them self-supporting in all political and financial vicissitudes. Of the five million land proprietors in France, four million actually till the soil, of whom three million own an average of less than 2 acres. Seme of the owners also rent land ether than their own, and M. de Lavcrgue estimates that tnore than 852,000 peasant owners are also tenants. One case is cited :'n which one farm of fifty acres was rented from nineteen different proprietors. While this subdivision of land property secures the most thorough cultivation, it also somewhat increases the burdens which laud has te hear, for the legal expenscs of inheritance, subdivision, transfer and leas, ing are high in proportion te the value of the property conveyed. Seme of the young folks way be inter ested te knew hew far this sort of thing may be carried. In Kelkkeim, en a ten pound wager, a young German undertook te kiss his sweetheart ten thousand times within ten hours, provided tney were per mitted te partake of some slight refresh ments at intervals of half an hour during the performance. At the expiration et the first hour their account steed credited with two thousand kisses. During the second they added another thousand, and during the third seven hundred and fifty te that number. Then the youth's lips were stricken with cramp and the maiden fainted away. Later en in the evening she was compelled te take te her bed with a sharp attack of neuralgia. An even mere distressing result ensued from this surfeit of tender endearment, for it led te the breaking en, by mutual consent, et a hopeful matrimonial engagement. m m PERSONAL. Senater Ciiilcett was a day laborer in I860. He gees up as fast as Sir Jeseph Perter. When the Tribune says Blaine has grown rich in the public service, it might add that it has grown rich, tee. Cel. Ingebsell is ready te back Der- sey's innocence for $1,000 and vociferously says se in court. This is a powerltil ar gument. Alex H. Stephens has regained his health and re-considered his determination net te run for governor of Georgia. He is in the hands of his friend?, and as he is a light weight be is easly bandied. It is Robeson, of course, who recalls te the Springfield Republican the story that "although Cel. Yll could net tell what had become of oue dollar et the deposits of the Yellville hank he seized that oppor tunity, Mr. Speaker, te declare his undy ing devotion te the American flair." The legitimist organs de net contradict the report of a separation between Den Carles and his wife. The report appears te gain credibility from the fact that his wife has gene te uentz, irem wmcb place she will accompany the Count and Countess of Chambord te Frehsderf. At the late royal wedding Victeria were a magnificent dress of black satin and lace and the imperial crown of diamonds and pearls, from which drooped a veil of rich lace. Acress her breast was the blue ribbon of the Order of Prince Leepold, fastened with a splendid breech of diamonds, among which was the Koh-i-neor diamond. Dr. Mary Walker, the little woman who insists upon wearing male attire, has been trying te get a clerkship in one etthe deparments, or some ether official position. She has excited a great deal of sympathy, hut her eccentricities are se marked that her friends have been unable te de any thing for her. She is made happy at last by an appointment as a clerk in the interior department. Mr. Cnuiir has resigned his position as steward at the White Heuse. He is com pletely broken down from nursing the late President Garfield, and is very indignant that the committee en Garfield expenses recommended only $3,000 for him. He says he ought te have as much as Edsen, who gets $10,000- This is very pathetic that $28 a day extra pay will net satisfy a White Iiouse steward. The Princess Helen, who, by her mar- iage with Prince Leepold, became duchess of Albany is quite a scholar, al though a simple, ladylike country girl Her pleasure at Arolsen, which is a se cluded and picturesque spot, was found in study. The Princess is, " spontaneous and frank," recites with taste and is quite musical. Dramatic entertainments used te be given at the Schloss, where the players wcre all amateurs. There were special Christmas performances, in which the eldest daughters of the prince who were unmarried took part. Ex-secretary Hunt's wife is the god mother of President Arthur's son. She has known Mr. Arthur since he was a young man and knew his wife during their en gagement. Mrs. Hunt leeks forward with much pleasure te being the wife of the American minister at St. Petersburg, but Mrs. Fester, whose husband was minister there last year, speaks of it as a most de pressing place, as well as one where the expences are ruinous. The official repre sentatives of foreign nations at St. Peters burg are expected te wear mourning when tbeUzarer any member or bis family or any officer of the court dies or is blown up. Fer the Czar the mourning was ordered for a year. Fer six months black only of a quality specified was permitted and then lighter grades of mourning were ordered by court circular, and the last three months light shades of gray were allowed. The .foreign minister had te put their servants and horses also in mourning. Insurance Paid. G. W. Reynolds, of this city, agent for the Northwestern mutual life insurance company,- received a check te day for Mrs. Wm. H. Shober for $6,000. Mr. Shober was insured two years age. Next month she will receive a dividend of $41.80. Next year she will receive 'another dividend of about the same amount. EEPUEUCANTEDIAEIES. THK UKKAT BIG TIDBIT OF TO-DAY.

But in his previous campaign he bad the valuable help of that powerful Mentzer Mentzer MeMellen combination then associated with the New Era faction, new divorced from it, and, though Sensenig has since gene ever te the New Era party, be is, for some reason with Stchman in this fight and he seems te held the balance of power. Seme of the politicians can make capital in their districts with the " regulars " out of Kauff man's belt at Harrisburg last winter, and a geed many people who have co-operated with the New Era faction heretofore arc disgusted at the way in which most of its victories and the candidates it helped te elect have turned out and have lest interest in the pretensions of Re-form te reform. These vaiieus influences operating against Kauff man will reduce his majority in nearly all the districts in which four years age he led his opponent heavily ; chiefly, however, will his losses be due te the solidity of the many politicians against him and their superior advantages in the upper district. In Columbia he will gain and probably reverse the major ity against him there four years age, but Stehman will make this up by a materi ally increased vote in the Hempfields. In Ceney the Re-formers will make further inroads en Fred. Smith, but Stehman will gain in Marietta. In all the Mount Jey districts he will de better than in 1878 ; In Sporting Hill, Union Square, Carnar von and Upper Leacock, nearly solid for Kauffman four years age, because the politicians who controlled them were for him, Stehman will gain largely ; in Epbrata, the Cocalices, Clay .and Warwick, where Kauffman then had the advantage, the united support of Mentzer, Sensenig and Eberly will new transfer that advantage te Stehman. In Manheim township Hunsecker's candidacy for Congress will help Stehman ; and in the three Earls, where even Sheriff High's influence is expected te be net used greatly te Stehman's disadvantage, much of Kauff man's large majority of 1878 will be wiped out. All these reversals are tee much for him te stand and. with the desperation and resources of the Cameren faction antagonizing him, Mr. Kauffman will win a brilliant and unexpected victory if he pulls through te-day. The Contest for Assembly. Snadcr, Eshleman and Courtney, of the Cameren ring ticket, have the prestige of success and the advantage of combi nation with Stehman ; but if Sensenig stands by the New Era ticket for legisla ture, its chances maybe better than Kauft man's, and Blough ( if net Eberly), may worry one of the Examiner faction. In the lower district Peeples has the best of it, and since the ether faction have concen trated en Heidelbaugh and the tavern keepers are solid against Landis, the latter may be beaten. The New Era says i " Henry Worst jr., get worsted in the conference of local bosses held at Chris tiana, en Wednesday, te decide whether he or Milt. Heidelbaugh should be slated en the Cameren legislative ticket with Hiram Peeples. Calvin Carter, Samuel Slokem, Themas McGewen and William McGewen wcre the Heidelbaugh conferees and Themas McNeal and Henry Kurtz ap peared for Worst. Of course, the Sads dury quartet were tee sharp for the Salisbury boys, who were made te be lieve that the only way te hurt Jehn II. Landis was te haul Worst off and concen trate the Cameren vote en Peeples and Heidelbaugh." Fer Recorder und Solicitor. The New Era, which was "furninst" Fry for solicitor and Longenecker for re corder, three years age, is new for them ; and the Examiner is vice versa, " all en account " of Sensenig. As he is for Steh man it is pretty hard te see what the New Era faction is getting for its support of bis men ler recorder and solicitor. It leeks as if Sensenig had the oyster en his fork this campaign and was willing te let each of the newspaper factions have one of the shells. Either or both may cheat him and he jnay cheat either or both. It. is certain that nobody seems te knew which name will ceme out of the hat for. either of these offices, and with Sensenig as the " connecting link " between the two rings, it is difficult te predict the result. It is significant, how ever, that both sides seem te have con fidence in his resources and in his geed faith ; and it is rumored that as the Examiner faction sold out Sensenig's man Eberly for Mylin te MnMellen two years age, they will new, in turn, sell out McMellen's man Myers for Stehman te Sensenig. Te-night will tell who's been cheated. The large mass of voters are indifferent en the rest of the list of candidates Smith's nomination being a foregone con cen con cluseonand it will be a geed deal of a scratch who carries the tail of the ticket.

It afterwards traced him te Leng's mill, in Drumere township, where he get supper at E. 31. Staufler's en the night of the murder. This is en the route from his late home, te Baltimore. Since then nothing reliable'haa been heard of his movements. His family, though horrified at his crimcand .willing te have him breaght te judgment, were naturally net the persons te become the pursuers of the fugitive, and he had such a start of the $500 Toward offered for him by the commissioners that net much detective talent has been exerc ised in the search for him.

VEltY i'KOBABLT SHAW. Mure Testimony Pointing; te HI Identity. .Baltimore Pay of this Morning. Certain facts which appear te threw light upon a murder that occurred in Pennsylvania recently wcre yesterday un earthed by Dr. E. Van Nete, of the City hospital. On the 13th of last .March a middle aged man was admitted te the hos pital suffering from a wound in the calf of the right leg, which he stated te Dr. J. Frazer Themas he had himself acciden tally inflicted with a broadax' while hew ing a table. EryUpclas followed, and he was treated for this. In a few weeks the wound healed aud the erysipelas gave premise of being ultimately cured, but the knee-cap became inflamed, sup puration set in and en the 12th of the present month the man died of suppurative exhaustion. On his admission te the hospital he gave his name as Jehn Campbell and said be was 45 years old, a widower, and a farmer and carpenter living in Baltimere county. During his sickness he was net asked many questions, and it was frequently noticed by the persons in charge of him that he was careful te conceal his panta loons under his pillow, but no significance was attached te this, it being supposed that he wished te make his pillow higher and mere comfortable. When he died, however, these pantaloons were taken pos session of by the hospital authorities and their contents examined. A heavy hilly, several pistol cartridges and a constitution and by-laws of Ledge 100, 1. O. O. F., 6f Christiana, Pa., were what the pants con tained. Dr. Van Nete, resident physician, te w.hem the articles were banded, ne glected te make a minute examination of them, attaching no special importance te them, and laid them away in a cupboard. The man was buried by the city, as be had no relatives here. About that time Dr. Van Nete was at tacked with a slight case of smallpox and went te quarantine. Having recovered he returned te the hospital yesterday, when he was informed by Dr. Themas that during his absence he (Themas) had casually ex amined the book left by Campbell, and found that it contained newspaper clippir gs and ether things which seemed te identify the deceased as an escaped' murderer from Pennsylvania. Dr. Van Note made a careful examination of the book, which was a small printed publi cation, and between the leaves he discovered two Bhert newspaper clippings, which by the advertisements en the back seemed te place them as published in Lancaster, Pa. Beth were correspond ence from Christiana, Pa. The larger one was dated March 7, but what year was net stated in the dispatch, nor could it be discovered anywhere in the clfppinsr. The contents were substantially as fellows : Here appears a brief account of tha Sbaw homicide substantially as has here tofore been published in the Intelligen cer. The smaller clipping was also a dispatch from Christiana confirming the facts as told in the larger ener in a few words and without additional particulars. Leeking fuither in the book, Dr. Van Note found a nete given by James party, payable at the company, Oxfeid, Pa. Shaw te another Oxford banking On the back of Eckman Dear the paper was Mr. Sir : Please pay te the bearer, Jas. Shaw, $3. I will he responsible for its return. Yours truly, Jehn Simpsen." There was also a small slip of paper containing a re ceipt by a tax collector for $2.50 from Jas. Shaw for state aud county taxes. Tbe last artiole which came under the physician's notice was a business card of a sewing machine agent, the reverse side of which was ise soiled that only the words '" Ne. 1040 Clarien street between- Bread" could' new be deciphered. The fly-leaf of the hook containing all these articles bore the name "James Shaw," and the words "I belong te this order in case of accidents." Dr. Van Note very naturally thought he had alighted en a page in somei dreadful tragedy, and felt no doubts but 'that the man who died en the 13th of April at the hospital, was none ether than James Shaw, the murderer of his wife. He therefore took the book, papers, &c, te Police Marshal Gray, who stated last night that be would te-day communicate with tbe authorities in Pennsylvania and clear up the mystery surround ins the case. The marshal, said that he had received no request from any one in Pennsylvania about the date meutiened in thKspatches toy leek out for Sbanr, nor had"he-evciL rek.ll or. heard of the murder. Dr. Van Note says that as well as he can remember the de ceased was about 5 fecf,8 inches tall, with dark complexion, high, bread j forehead, prominent features, and full, close beard; as though recently grown. He was very quiet and retiring in his disposition, and during his sickness gave very little trouble te his attendants. Dr. Van Nete does net doubt bnt that the man was Shaw.' Market Matters. At a meeting of the market committee of councils last night, Jehn Cash was re elected assistant market master. This morning Market Master Derley confiscated' a -bwketfuU of ligbt -weight butter, which he sold by auction, and re alized from the sale $3.50 one half of which gees te the market master. The Central and Farmers' Northern markets were both well patronized te-day, and the only complaint en tbe part tf pur chasers was the-scarcity and high price of early vegetables and tbe increasing prices asked for all kinds of meats some of the butchers asking 25 ce its per pound for choice eats.

This charming little wild flower is fast disappearing in consequence of rough -handling received from these who gather it. Persons generally go in companies and in their excitement tear it up regard less of their disturbance of its roots, crowd it in baskets, te find ou distributing it en their return, that abent half has te be cast aside, and the delicate fleweis have been blackened by contact with the rough, firm leaves. There is a better way. In every locality where the little beauty grows there will be found quantities of mess. Take with you a pair of scissors and trays instead of baskets. Put a layer et mess en each tray. Cut tbe perfect Hewer stem without molesting the roots and insert them at once in the mess. The plant will grew and spread all tbe mere for the trimming. Gathered in this manner it will carry any distance without injury ; aud keeping the mess damp is all it requires te brighten your home for days. KaUread Werk. J. J.
