The Mermen Scare.
There seems te be some perturbation
felt and expressed in different religious
quarters en account of a moderate de
gree of success that has attached te the
efforts of Mermen missionaries, who have
been at work in some out-ef-t-c-way,
sparsely settled communities, where the
simple-hearted folk have given ear te
their preaching and heed te their prom prem
ises. We agree with an esteemed con cen con
temeoraryone with whom we mere
frequently disagree that where the
Mermen preachers gain converts it is
likely owing te the fact that the people
have net had a better gospel preached
te them ; and these who grudge the
emissaries of the Latter Day Saints the
scanty success which has attended their
evangelizing work, may, upon self
examination, find that they themselves
havA neglected the wayside and stony
places in which the scattered Mermen
seed has found lodgment.
There are se many communities be
yond all modern civilization and se many
individuals even in communities en
lightened by Christianity who are far
worse off and mere degraded than the
Mormons, that it is likely te be many
years before there will be alack of abun
dant material for the efforts of both
Christian evangelists and Mermen apos
tles te exhaust themselves upon. It is a
confession of weakness for Christianity
te fear the efforts of the Mormons te
nrnselvte among its own believers ; and
should they who will neither accept nor
practice the tenets of our holy faith
even embrace the Mermen teachings and
become part of the Utah community
they may net be mere utterly sunken in
sin than mauy who abide where a belter
gospel is promulgated, but having eyfa
see net ami hear net with their ears
Fer, notwithstanding the obnoxious
institution of polygamy, permitted and
even encouraged by their religion and

there must ba some elements of weith
in a church and social polity which bears
such fruits as Mnrnieuism can show in
answer te the rail liery against it. Xet
only does it exhibit the results of uu
equalled industry ami patient tlnifl. in
the reclaimatien of :i rainless desert, and
its transformation into a " blooming
plain," covered with fruitful farms and
thriving towns, but the singular free
dom of ihe Salt Lake City community
from the prevalence of the vices and dis
orders which permeate every ether cen -tre
of population make Morinenism a
social problem tee complex te be dis
missed by a condemnation el its one
flagrantly offensive feature.
If it be true, as seems te be undeniably
reported, that the crimes feibidden by
the decalegue are seldom known tlieie,
that thieves, murderers, adulterers, dis
turbers of the peace, drunkards and
prostitutes are rarely ever een, that
their police system is excellent, their ter
ritorial government pure, wise and just,
" simple in its machinery and imparti.il
in its laws, its burdens light and its pro
tection universal, with necheatingatelec
tiens, no ellicial defalcation?, no special
taxes and net a dollar of debt" if this
is their social condition it would be no
less te the cause of morals and no degra
dation te the individual, for a gie:it
mauy denizens even of our own Eastern
cities te be translated te Mormeudou.
And there are a geed many men in
Christian communities who would net
suffer injustice by being compelled te
publicly own and support their plmality
of wives.
A Stale Campaign.

mecracy in this state last fall was waged

fully invested with the administiatien
of the state government. An important
factor of the Republican party in Phila
delphia has made proclamation that a
number el the leading reforms, which it
vainly tried te secure fiem Republican
Legislatures, have been obtained from a
Democratic Heuse and governor, and a
divided Senate. Other beneficent meas
ures, which have ler years knocked in
vain for passage at Ilarrisburg, have
been put upon the statute books, while
the shadow of corruption has net stalked
through the legislative chambers.and for
the first time within a generation tlw
stain of scaudal has net attached te the
law-making of the commonwealth. The
executive has be.-m alike intelligent in
suggesting useful legislation, energetic
in forwarding and prompt iu approving!
and courageous aud discriminating in
vetoing that which was bid in purpose,
or slovenly aud irregular in the form of
its adoption.
But the possible and necessary reforms
in the state government have net yet
all been effected. Far from it. In the
auditing department there has been
laxity and the treasury methods have
prevailed net in conformity with the
public interest nor the most provident
financiering. Upen the record already
made the Democracy asks for an exien
sien of power. In state campaign it has
been the invariable device of the Repub
licans te try te get away from state
issues and avoid their discussion. This
year, of all times, there isue legitimate
excuse for this. There are neither pres
idential electors, congressmen nor even
members of the Legislature, te be chosen
in Pennsylvania. The issue is purely
one of state concern, and le that it
should be held by the Democratic state
convention, in the persons of its candi
dates and the declarations of its plat
form. In accordance with its funda
mental principles of local self govern
ment the Democratic party lias been
coming into power in the country by first
acquiring governmental coutrel of the
states and,by fit administration of them,
proving worthy of the broader trusts.
We are net called upon te elect a presi-
dent this year, bat an auditor general
and state treasurer, and all schemes of
president or even of presidential candi
date making should be ruled eat of the
state convention. Let as have a state
contest, for state purposes, and en state
issues.
Jien-Parllsan City derernmeat.
When the intelligent citizen and in
terested taxpayer of a municipality sits
down and calmly reflects ever the sub
jects of governmental interest that most
closely concern him, these of his own
city he can hardly fail te be impressed
with the fact that they have no relation
whatever te partisan politics. The
management of a city's financial affairs,
the care and condition of its streets, its
water works and lighting, police and fire
departments, health beard and sewerage,
the numbering of houses and the regula
tion eE markets these ought te have no
mere te de with the matters of state and
federal or even of county government!
than they have with the calculation of
eclipses or the rise and fall of tides.
And they would net have if people were
only te settle down te the sensible de
termination te elect mayors and council
men and city officers en the same princi
ple and with the same consideration
that bank directors and cemetery trus
tees and the management of manufac
turing establishments or clerks in a dry
goods store are chosen. What does it
matter te the citv if a mayor, who dis
charges his duty, is a protectionist or
a free trader ; or whether a water super
intendent, who is efficient, is a close or
liberal constructionist of the censtitu
tien ; or whether a street commissioner,
who spends the appropriation honestly
and intelligently, is for or against a tax
en oil. And yet we go en year after year
making lines run parallel that ought te
run at right angles, fretting and frown
ing hew one party or the ether can get a
slight advantage, which, after all, means
se much disadvantage te what everyone
concedes ie be the common weal. Has
net the time clearly come when at least
thu politics of a city can profitably be
divorced from the mere geupral lines of
political strife ? The elections in this
state are fixed at widely separate times,
and why should municipal contests
hinge upon ether issues than these which
have really no connection with local
affairs ?
As they can't get up .1 baseball club in
Denver, Colerado, and the days of the

dogeuoracy of this modern republic.
It is of universal interest, and yet may
be a contribution te general popular
knowledge, that the first ice cream ever
made was by a French cook in Wash
ington iu the early part of this ceutury,
who when called upon te cater for one of
tuu stale uiunar.s, said lie would iurmsh a
dish that had uever beeu seen before, aud
he provided the dish known te day as ice
cream.
Pike county is scen te beheld the work
ings of a libel suit within her borders. As
this will be the first in the history of the
ceuuLy, the citizens are duly agitated ever
the coming event. Libel suits are often
necessary proceedings te successful jour
nalism, and as newspapers are the precur
sers of people and civilizitieu, the
spat sely situated citizens of the border
county may be expected te seen suffer less
isolation and enjoy all the ether privileges
of a thick population.
At I.mth, after much speculation aud
uneasiness, authentic reports bring the
news that General Creek is net only safe,
but has emerged from the wilds of the
Sierra Mai1. res with 230 hostiles as his
prisoners. Nene the less brilliant is thi.s
achievement bocause it was bloodless,
for the American gcucial eviuced his
courage sufficiently by his daring incur
sion into the mnuutaius,a worse place than
which for :i display of Indian treachery
aud cunning cannot be named. Gcnentl
Creek's mission is net yet ended, but this
demonstration of his bravery and bis
determination will go far te allay any
fears for his future success and dispel any
doubts of his efficiency.
It is vaiy certain that Mr. Jehn L. Sul
livan, of pugilistic renown, has net tern
himself away from the fascination of the
prisM ring. A few days age his great soul
thirsted te hear the plaudits of spectators

an antagonist. Mr. Sullivan was unable te
restrain himself, aud having succeeded it:
knocking out several reuuds of whisky went
home and proceeded te practice upon his
wife, having first vanquished furniture te
the extent of $500 Mrs. Sullivan, net
being particularly well versed in the
scionce of her gladiatorial husband, very

Tiieke was a particularly terrible affair,
in the opinion of the court of England,

An English vessel lying in that harbor

The loyal British consul, beheld the awful
sight and with the aid of the Spanish
coast guard aud a party of armed soldiers,
the symbol of Fenianism was remeved,
aud the geed Briten in Cerunua breathed

en the part of the consul, according te the
report of his proceeding, and new the

THE STRIKERS' WAR.
OHB MAN KII.L.KD AUD TWO WOUNDED
Pistol Shots Wnicb tsreuaht Instant Death
and Fatal Injuries Trey Excited and
the Febce Force en Duty.
The long strife between the union and
non-union meulders at the Malleable iron
works, in Trey, N.Y., culminated Monday
evening in a bloody riot, in which Wm.
Hutchisen was killed, Jeseph Winestone
fatally injured and Arthur Imeson serious
ly wounded. Hutchisen, Winestone and
Imeson are union men.
The row, which resulted se seriously,
began en Saturday night, when several
shots were fired from a non-union board beard
ing house near the works. Little atten
tion was paid te the matter at the time.
Yesterday afternoon, however, several
non-union men paraded up and down in
front of Wm. Mahan's saloon,en Congress
street, a resort frequented by union men,
and acted in an aggravating manner.
About 5 o'clock in the afternoon several
union and non-union men met near Ma
han's. Seme en each side had been drink
ing, and in a short time a general row was
in progress. The non-union men, who
have been armed since the beginning of
the strike, several weeks age, immediately
drew their revolvers and began firing. At
the first volley Hutchisen fell, a ball hav
ing passed through his chest, killing him
instantly. A half-minute later Jeseph
Winestone fell with a bullet through his
head. He cannot live until morning.
Then Imeson fell with two bullets in his
leg, one of them inflicting a dangerous
wound. The special policemen at the
works and a large ferce of regular meu
under Superintendent Quigley seen ar
rived en the scene and experienced great
trouble in saving the non-union men from
the fury of the crowd. One party ap
peared, headed by a man carrying a
rope and shouting "lynch them!" The
men who did the sheeting are Sanferd
C. White, aged eighteen years,
and Themas Canfleld, aged nineteen
years. They were immediately taken
into custody. A strong cordon of police
surrounded them and had te fight dospor despor dosper
atoly te prevent the infuriated crowd from
taking them away. Theodere and Jehn
Jenes, two apprentices at the works, who
loudly manifested their indignation at the
sheeting, were arrested by direction of
Superintendent Quigley, whereupon the
latter was knocked down and roughly
handled. . There was iutouse excitement
throughout the city and the Press issued
an extra at night. The entire police ferce
are en duty, a strong guard being detailed
te protect the Second precinct station
house, where the prisoners are confined.
Au extra detail of police has been sent te
the sceno of the conflict.
At 8 o'clock Wm. Sleicher, ene of the
proprietors of the Malleable works, was
taken into custody, charged with being
an accessory before the fact. It is alleged
that some time age Sleioher offered $10 te

A Tumbling Run Farmer NetlUea by Ills
Deg That Uls Cnlld Was Stelen.
Jehn Bachman, a farmer residing in the
Tumbling Run valley, several miles from
Pottsville, although almost 80 years, of
age, would readily pas3 for 50. Ue has
been married twice. By his first wife he
has several sons, who are married. By
the second wife, who is net 30, he is the
father of three children, the youngest
being only four months old. Monday
evening, accompanied by his wife and
the two elder children, he left the house
and went te a favorite shady resert,
a quarter of a mile distant, leaving the
baby sleeping iu the cradle. The doers of
the house were left unlocked. A watch
dog, however, remained iu the yard. Mr.
Backmau and his wife were scarcely seated
in the weeds wheu the deg appaared and
kept up a continual howling, which Bach
man took as a warning that all was net
right at home. The family immediately
roturned and were horrified te find that
the babe was missing. The parent3 insti
tuted a search, which was only terminated
by darkness. Ne traca of the child could
be found. Although there was money
and valuables in the house, nothing was
disturbed. Mr. Bachman, who went te
Pottsville yesterday te invoke the aid of
the pelice and the newspapers, cannot soe
what motive auyone could have had for
stealing his child. Its mysterious disap
pearauce has caused much excitement in
the Tumbling Ruu valley.

affectionate gratitude. She then broke
through a barricade of chairs and bere
down en Judge Gardner. Before the
jndge could scale a large safe in a cor
ner she had her arms around him and
pressed a kiss en his beard, where she
supposed his mouth was. Justice Gard
ner faced the court room red with blushes,
but with the fire of youth in his eyes.

VICTORIA'S VALEDICTORY.
Hew the Reports of the J aeen's Proposed
Abdication are Itecelved.
The report of the probable abdication
of Queen Victeria causes a geed deal of
stir in diplomatic circles at Washington,
D. C. The geueral expression is that the
event is quite probable. The same report
seems te have reached this country
through an entirely different channel, and
whiln net as much in detail as that given
yesterday, seems well authenticated.
Even the British minister is said te have
expressed belief iu the report, though he
has no official notification of the fact. The
queen's advanced age and increasing
troubles are urged as entirely com Ama
tory of the report. Mr. West is reported
as saying that he has for some time ex
pected te hear that such a step was in con
templation. The queen is new in her C5th
year and the cares of state rest heavily
npen her shoulders.
The report that the abdication of Queen
Victeria was impending, owing te ill
health, caused much excitement among
English subjects visiting in New Yerk as
well as among a large number of Ameri
can people. The office of the British con.
sulate was overrun during the day with
persons inquiring as te the truth of the
report. Mr. J. Pierrepont Edwards, the
consul, said : " 1 de net believe one word
of the story. I have received no informa
tion of that kind and I think that this
office would be the first te receive the
news of se serious an event were any sneh
thing contemplated."

Tattooed Skin from Tewksbury.
" Governer Butler is making the saints
dance in finu style," said a preminent
lawyer who attonded the Tewksbury
hearing at Bosten en Monday. The preva
lent opinion is that he is making mero out
of the witnesses for the defense than he
did out of his own. He has offered te
fully identify the piece of hnman flesli
taken from the body of C. J. Eklund,
who died at Tewksbury almshouse in
1879. It is stated that C. J. Eklund can
be proved by the records of the
almshouse te have been au inmate of
the institution ; that he died there ; that
funeral services were held ever his re
mains, or ever a coffin said te contain
them ; that the body was taken te Har
vard medical school for dissection ; that
this piece of skin, en which is tattooed in
Indian ink a representation of the cruci
fixien, with the man's name and date of
birth, was removed and preserved by a
man who he can produce en the witness
stand, and that the management of this
institution is responsible for this horrible
desecration of the dead.
The defense resorted te dilatory meas
ures te prevent the testimony going in,
but the governor will persist in showing
the facta.

A precession of delegates from various
neerai societies, a mile and a half in
length, passed in review before Mr.Bright
and saluted him. One of the chief
features of the celebration was the pre
sentation of a geld medal te Mr. Bright.
The demonstrations at the railway station
where Mr. Bright arrived in the morning
and throughout the line of march resem
bled a royal progress. The reute of the
precession, which was five miles long, was
densely crowded with people. Mr. Bright
has warm admirers in America, for which
country he has always had the kindest
feelings. His attitude during the war of
the Rebellion, when he steed for some
time almost alone among eminent Eng
lishmen, is remembered both in England
and the United States. When President
Lincoln died his geld headed cane was
given by the family te Dr. Smith, and he
at his death bequeathed it ie Mr. Bright,
" as a token of the esteem which the late
president felt for him."
