BATUBDAY EVENING, APBH. 7. 1898
Feels, as Well as Mures.
The.Irishmen who are undertaking te
drive England out of Ireland by the ap
plication of dynamite te the people and
things in England have taken a very
large contract, and one which there is no
reasonable probability that they will get
through with- They may de a great deal
of damage te Englishmen, but the mere
they de the smaller becomes their chance
of releasing Ireland from English rule.
They ought te be wiser than te
suppose that the methods they adept
will advance their purpose. When they
are strong enough te conquer England
they will be able te nationalize Ireland
by force. But their secret dynamite
methods are a confession that they are
unable te cope with England in open
battle. They cannot, therefore, violent
ly overthrew her. They may overturn
all In r public buildings and murder a
large percentage of their pnblic men ;
but the nation will still stand in
its integrity, but with its people
inllamed against the men who
seek by cowardly methods of assassina
tions te de what all history tells cannot
se be done. The Irishmen who are
led by such feels as O'Donevan Ressa te
consider themselves patriots who are
doing efficient work for the liberation of
Ireland, by the secret use of dynamite,
may understand when they are strung
up for it that they have been feels for
their pains ; a fact which every one of
respectable sense recognizes uew.
ripe Lines.
There may be some better reason than
has yet been adduced against the con
cession of the state's right of eminent
domain te pipe line companies,but if
the justice of their claims cannot be
gainsaid by mere forcible arguments
than these thus far urged against them,
even this jealously guarded right cannot
with better reason be withheld from
them than from the railroad companies
of whom it is new extended te all
comers. The alleged damaging effect
of these lines upon the country through
which they pass is net sustained by the
evidence of experience. There is no
complaint of this in the regions where
they new run ; that the farmers are net
afraid of It is evident from the readiness
with which they sell the rights of
passage, it having been shown in the
Legislature that hundreds of the very
' farmers," whose pretests Senater
Cooper claimed te represent, had signed
rights te the Standard monopoly te run
Its lines through their land. The argu
ment that pipe lines are net of the same
local convenience as railroads is meas
urably true, but neither are they of the
8 ime local disadvantages ; and as it is
manifestly te the advantage of the whole
state that one of its great products
should have free course te its seaports
and refineries, whereas it Is new diverted
from them, the country trat lies between
its termini will eventually be benefited
b allowing pipe lines te freely trav
erse it.
s
If the Standard pips line monopoly
had net grossly abused its priviliges and
the Pennsylvania railroad company had
net shamerully discriminated between
oil shippers, or if they would even new
net interfere with contemplated pipe
lines in their purchase, upon reasonable
terms, of rights of way, there would be
no demand for a free pipe line law ; but
as their combined monopoly has placed
four millions of people at the mercy of
a score or less of confederated capitalists
who have broken up Pennsylania indus
tries far mere effectually than was ever
threatened by free trade, common fair
ness as well as common sense, have sug
gested that it be put out of the power of
the monopolies te prevent fair competi
tion in the business of common carriage.
There is no reason why farmers who are
injured directly or indirectly by pipe
lines, should net recover amply for pre
sent or future damages, if any ensue.
But the present effort te excite their
fears is net nearly se intense or reasona
ble as was the first opposition te rail rail
reads, and it is net likely te be any mere
effective.
Mb. Arthur will hardly take much
comfort by hia motion te the Seuth in
this April weather, when already the
heat here is uncomfortable. lie would
have done better te go North. Flerida
in April is net a paradise ; and the St.
Jehns river, in whose waters the presi
dent proposes te fish, is net an inviting
field for that amusement. If Mr. Arthur
does net return with a touch of malaria,
he will be fortunate. At this season the
seaport towns of Fernandina and St.
Augustine are about the only safe and
reasonably comfortable spots in the land
of Flerida which is a geed deal lovelier
at any time in its distant contemplation
than in its close acquaintance.
Chaplain McCabk did net succeed
before the New Yerk Methodist confer
ence with his scheme of raising a two
cent tax upon every member of the con
ference te pay the debt of the Metropoli
tan church in Washington. That bur
den of debt is the relic of a pretentious
sheddyism in the days when Grant was
paraded as a member of the church and
Parson Newman was his and its preacher.
It is net much wonder that the effort te
relieve it from debt awakens assecia
tiens that render it distasteful te the
better Methodist sense.
"'Gov. Butler suggested te the Mas
sachusetts preachers that they observe
fast day by abstaining from politics in
the pulpit. Having the common weak
ness of human nature the cod fish par
sons would net be lectured, and with
one accord their pulpits rang with de
nunciations of Butler, thereby, no doubt,
unwittingly serving the very end he had
in view.
-a
Senater Mtlik, Representative Ga
han and ex-Resident Clerk of the Heuse
Patterson between whom the responsi
bility for its suppression seems te lie
have net yet responded te our invitation
te tell what has become of Mr. Bierly's
minority legislative report en the state
agricultural college. Shew up.
The Standard oil company must
realize that a great change has come
ever the spirit of the times when it finds
itself net only powerless te affect legisla
tion, but understands that it needs but
te be known what it wants te have its
want denied. The free pipe bill passed
the Senate by a heavy majority, but
would net have any votes for it if the
Standard oil company had wanted it te
be passed. It had its only virtue in its
reputed power te paralyze the monopo
lizing plans of that company.
-
TnE Jfew Era graciously recommends
that " the Legislature give every con
temnlated pipe line a charter that
cheeses te ee into business." The new
constitution has se changed the mode of
obtaining charters that they no longer
depend upon the favor of theL.egisia
ture. Under certain restrictions tne
executive or the courts grant charters.
The Legislature has nothing te de with
it.
It is te be feared that as a " golden
haired angel of reconciliation " Senater
Cooper has thus far only succeeded in
welding Lis Democratic and Independent
colleagues mere closely together
A sub committee of the state Senate
with two Republicans at oue end, two
Democrats at the ether, and Senater
Stewart in the middle ought te be able te
frame a just and acceptable apportion
ment bill.
Jumbo, with commendable solicitude for
his future welfare, will naturally be in
clined te continue his present geed be
havier rather than become a target for
Barnum's pistol balls, as was the pathetic
fate of his incorrigible friend Pilet the
ether day.
Comic er-EiiA has its uses as has been
made mauifest since the abolitieu of red
uniforms in the British army, by recalling
the fact that Lady Jane in "Patience''
pointed out that red and yellow were pri
mary colors, and that a mere agreeable
uniform could be made of a cobwebby gray,
"like cold gravy."
Judge Wm. Lawuencc, who has been
trotted out as the likely next Republican
candidate for governor of Ohie, turns out
te be a thrifty exponent of the prevailing
" Ohie idee." In 1802 ha served as the
colonel of a regimeut that was guarding
railroads and while he was absent from
the bench four months drew his nay as
colonel for the whole period.
Tueue is a desire ou the part of the
authorities of the National Guard te es
tablish a military company iu this city.
The command has been recruited for some
time the membership is full and well drill
ed, and only needs an efficient captain te
make it a success and te have it connected
with the N. G. The time is exception
ally opportune because with t';e disband
ment of the old volunteer ffre department,
the military spirit has naturally revived.
Who shall be captain ?
The Jewish Mesiengei, of New Yerk, de
pleres the increasing lick of religious ley
alty among the people of its faith, atd
sees no increase of symgognes cjinmensu-
rate with their increasing wealth and in
flaence. It explains, hewever, thit "ley
alty te the synagogue as the authorized
exponent of Jewish law, learning and life
is becoming less acknowledged, and that
.many shirk their obligations as Israelites
are perhaps indicative net se much of dis
satisfaction with Judiasm as of dislike te
the foreign and scholastic atmosphere
with which it is associated. The syna
gogue in America, te attract and enchain
young American Jews, mush be American
in in its methods, organization and sur
roundings. The foreign rituals and rituals
foreign te the taste and convictions of the
class expected te attend are fatal stumb
ling blocks mere and mere every day as
our young cellege bred men and women
desire their Judaism te be something
mere than Asiatic or Semitie, with a dull,
distant leek and antiquated character."

A HOSPITAL TK1UKDV.
Jehn Conway Hangs Himself te the Tran
som Bars.
After examination by Drs. Musser and
Reland, of the county hospital physicians..
Jehn Conway, of Martic township, was
admitted te that institution en Oct. 2,
1882, suffering from acute mania. He has
been iu ward Ne. 1, under the charge of its
keeper, Jehn C.Drummend,and during the
past week has been in especially bad con
dition. His cell was the south room at
the extreme east end of the ward, which
is en the east side of the first fleer front,
and en Tuesday he tried twice te bang
himself, once with a blanket in his cell
and the second time te the pipes of the
water closet by makiug a repe of his
drawers. Yesterday he tried also te get
away from the keeper out of the window.
At breakfast this morning he ate as
usual, aud asked permission te lie down
en bis bed, as be felt sick. It was granted,
and at 10:30 Keeper Druramend found
him in his room all right. At 11 Mr. D.
went te dinner, and afterwards called his
patients te dinner. Ge'ng te Conway's
room he found that he had taken his sheet,
made a loop of it and fastened it te one
end of the perpendicular iron reds across
the transom. He then mounted a chair,
put the looped sheet around his neck and
jumped from the chair. His feet almost
touched the fleer but he had effectually
strangled himself te death, though the
body was still warm wheu found.
The body was cut down te await the
arrival of the coroner.
Conway was about 5 feet 10 inches in
height ; 42 years of age ; au Americau by
birth, laborer by occupation ; could read
and write and was a moderate drinker.
While the body lay waiting for the coro
ner the funeral of Miss Rjxy Bair, from
her father's . i esidence, opposite the alms
house grounds, was in progress. The di
rectors of the institution also held a
business meeting te day te approve bills,
and the concurrence of these events had
the effect of creating quite a stir among
the inmates of the institutions.
Bloody llrether.
Smith and Calvin Campbell, two brothers
of West Nottingham township Chester
county, had a quarrel lately in which
the latter was severely weuuded. Calvin
possesses two farms. He resides en one
aud his brother occupied the ether. Smith
it appears, has been paying attcutieu te
two young ladies iu the neighborhood.
He was se absorbed in love affairs that he
appeared te have neglected the property
entrusted te him. Some of the live stock
died and everything was going te ruin.
His brother perceiving the state et affairs
reproached him, when a het discussion
ensued. During the dispute Smith struck
his brother en one side of the head and
face with a club. It is feared that Calvin's
wound will prove fatal.

TUB. DRAMA.
Mm Mattle Vlekera m "The Tramp's
Daughter."
Last evening the play of " The Tramp's
Daughter, or Paste and Diamonds " was
presented in the opera house te a rather
slim audience. The piece is purely Amer
ican and is full of humor as well as senti
ment and is sure te please the publie. It
tells a story which is full of interest, an
outline of which is as fellows : Jacquine,
the heroine of the piece, who is a millin
ery apprentice, has a druuken father, and
te support him and herself she is com
pelled te accept a position in the ballet at
the Felly theatre. While there she
develops a talent for the stage aud is very
anxious te make her first appearance.
Phineas Flamm, the manager of the
theatre, is unable te pay his salaries and
the leading lady refuses te go en. Dick
Vinten, a bill pester and a firm friend of
Jacquine, suggests that she be allowed
te take the leading role. This is
laughed at by the manager, but
at a rehearsal he is convinced
that the girl is able te take the part. Upen
her first appearance she makes a tremeu
deus hit, and her star at once begins te
rise. In the last act the druuken lather
dies, hut before deiug se discloses the fact
that Jicquine,s real mother is Mrs. Dud
ley, the wife of the rich banker, who had
been kind te her, Geerge Craven, a rich
club man who had done much for Jacquine,
marries her, Dick, the bill pester, becomes
manager et tiie theatre, and by tbe tune
the curtain drops all are made happy.
The role of Jacquine was sustained by
Miss Vickers, who is just at home in the
character. She is a lady full of vivacity
and sprightliness, and at once made her
sell a great favorite with the audience.
She has a handsome face and a fiue voice,
which she uses te geed effect iu the singing
of a number of new songs. Her imita
tions of Kate Claxteu, Modjeska and
ethers, are wonderful. A feature of her
performance is her geed dancing, as se
many artists in plays of this kind spoil
their parts by attempting te dance when
they cannot. The scene where the actress
makes her debut is very real, and the au
dience became greatly excited. Miss
Yickers was called before the curtain at
the close pf the act, and the applause was
tremendous. The lady received valuable
support from Charles Rogers, who ap
peared as Dick Vinten, the bi!I pester,
in which character he displayed
great versa! i icy. His imitations
of Jee Jeffersen, Frank Maye and
ether great, actors wure exceedingly
clever. The support was geed, especially
Spencer Pritchard, a well known actor, who
appeared as Geerge Graven, the rich club
man. The piece- may be considered a
success and it certainly was warmly re
ceived here. The company will appear
again te-night and these who attend will
be well entertained.
