The Trade Dellar Craze. The trade dollar crusade is tbe excit ing tepis just new; it is the topic net only because it touches everyone's pocket, but even mere because no one can un derstand just why there should be a raid made en the innocent coin. It has passed current for a great many years, and there is no greater reason for refusing it new than there has ever been. It has net been a legal tender and no one could be forced te take it who did net want it. It was taken because it was current ; and it has been current probably because the common sense of the people could net dis cover any reason for refusing a coin as a dollar that was intrinsically worth eighty five cents, when they had te take another coin as a dollar that has seven and a half grains less of silver in it than the trade dollar. The le?al tender Bland dollar has 412i grains of silver, while the trade dollar has 420. If the Bland dollar could be refused it would be eagerly done ; and then there would be reason for rejecting the trade dollar. It is evident that the present sudden raid in the trade dollar is net caused by any especial objection te it, as none exists. The man who refuses a trad 4 dollar will accept a les3 intrinsically valuable Bland dollar without objection He deei se because he can pass it. He cannot pass the trade dollar, because its currency has been destroyed by a suc cessful raid upon it of New Yerk money changers. There is a safe speculation at the bottom of the movement. The idea is te buy the coin in at the intrinsic value, at which no less can be incurred. Then the popular excitement against the unfairness of the government in selling a coin for a dollar which it refuses te redeem at a dollar is te be used te com pel Congress te redeem it. But that measure of justice will cem'' tee late when Congress meets. Tlifn the trade dollar will ba mainly in the hands of these who have paid but eighty-five cents for it and whose speculation should net be made profitable by Congress. The required remedy should be applied new, and it is quite within the power of the president te give it. There are tens upon tens of Bland-dollars in the treasury vaults, which cannot be get rid of. "Why should they net be offered in exchange for the trade dollar ? Dees the president net have the authority ? Cm he net offer te exchange -1121 grains of silver for 120,aiid thus make a profit te the treasury ? Who will object te his doing se geed a stroke of busiuess for the country ? Net the people, who get a current dollar for an uncurrent one; and net the citizens gen erally, who exchange -112 grains el si I ver in the treasury vaults for 120. It is an operation by which It th piriies gain and no one loses This is a remarkable result, but it comes from the unnatural state of our currency. The law compels the mint te manufacture mere Bland dollars' than can be disposed of. If the treasury could get rid of its dollars it would make a large profit en their manufacture ; but they are dead stock and their munufuc ture is sheer felly. There is a chance new offered te get mere for the Bland dollars than they cost, and at the same time te de a just thing te the people by giving them a legal tender dollar for one that the government issued without this fiat attribute. Tiiis trade dollar (lurry shows the value that can be given a subsidiary currency by the fiat of the government th.it it. shall be money. The government could make its dollars out of cast iron and give them the value of a dollar within the country, if it was net for the great pre mium that would ba offered the counter feiter by the use of be cheap a metal And certainly when the government has tins power, ana wnen it nas receive-1 a dollar in value for its trade dollar, it is in the highest degree unjust te these who mw held the trade dollars that they should be permitted te be fleeced out of any part of the value they gave for them. Xet the Issue. "With the Philadelphia Tinas the wish is no doubt father te the thought, if it is sincere in the expression of opinion that " the issue in this state this year seems te be Cassidyism, and upon that ttie Republicans are united, while the Democrats are divided." This is net the issue ; it will net be the issue, and net even the influence of the Times can make it se. The appointment of Mr. Cassidy te be attorney general was the hetc noir of the Timis, which, like the Intellieknceu, was opposed te it,hut after it was made we differed from our esteemed contemporary in a willingness te give the governor and his attorney general and everybody else connected with his administration just credit for whatever influence they exerted and whatever results they accomplished in vindication of the reform pledges of the campaign, by way of securing admin istrative reform in the states govern ment. In assuming this position neither the Intelligence!: nor the chairman of the Democratic stale committee was any less independent than the Times and its editor in the matter of making no ether demands upon Gov. Pattison than that he should "faith fully fulfill his solemnly plighted faith te the people." By that standard we have judged him and will continue te, and the Times very well knows that the Intelligence!; and its editors, indi vidually, will never " seek te defend or excuse" any "reckless imitation of Republican boss debauchery " practiced by officials professing its own faith. Upen the whole, the course of thestate administration has been salutary te the state, and hence te its party and, as we have said before, whether this is due te or despite the influence of the attorney general it meets with popular nppreba tien, and will go far te determine " the issue in this state this year. " It may be that Mr. Cassidy was a Pilgrim ; that he and Mr. McClure, who were once .friends are new enemies, while he and Mr. Singerly, who were lately enemies, are new friends ; and tha be cherishes deep designs against the commonwealth and te further his own political fortunes, which, if theybecame the controlling motive of the state ad ministration, would prove its "surren der te Pilgrim leadership," would fatally disorganize the Democracy and make " Cassidyism " a vital issue for. a divided party te make fruitless battle for. But there are no signs of this yet; while no such calamity portends the Intelligencer does net propose te misrepresent the situation nor te create a false alarm nor te concede a false issue. "When the danger is at hand this journal will be as keen te sight it and as ready te proclaim it as any ether. r The suggestion we have made that the professional ethics de net forbid a lawyer discharged by one client from being employed by his opponent has been met with the declaration that such conduct is generally esteemed unprofessional ; and lawyers who are determined te avoid even the appearance of dishonor in their relations te their cli ents would no doubt decline employment by the opposite side, even theueh they had been unwarrantably discharged by their client. The argument is that the position of client and attorney is confi dential, and that the lawyer who has been admitted te his client's secrets is barred from even putting himself and his knowledge at the service of his client's fee. That is a strong position ; but, en the ether hand, it is te be said that in very many, if net most, cases, no such confidential information is ob tained by the lawyer ; and that if a lawyer may be barred from the ether side of the case by any temporary employment in it en one side, a smart litigant might buy off the opposition of the whole bar by a five dollar bill te each member of it. Evidently a great deal must be left te the lawyer's own sense of propriety. I:; the debate in Parliament en the de ceased wife's sister marriage bill, the uni versal testimony produced from the United States was that the permission of such marriages here worked no evil. "Aunts make the host stepmothers." Tiiicuk is nothing remarkable in the uews from Seuth Carolina that two of the ceugressmen-elect from that state will support Mr. Randall for speaker. He wil' have support from nearly every ether Southern state. Georgia, Arkansas Missouri, Tennessee and ethers already make signs of it. His nomination is a , foregone conclusion. Tin: champion liar of the present " silly season " seems te be abroad, and is getting his work iu en the German newspapers ; as witness the following translation from one of them : A piano firm in Kerlin has bought the oaken piles which have just been taken out of the Rhine at Mayence, and which are said te be the original timbers of the bridge which Julius Cajsar constructed. Bishop WAUUEN.ef the Methodist Epis copal church, comes te the roscue of the colored Christians of the Seuth, and de fends thorn against the charge of inimer ality which have been se freely made against them. lie says that wherever the colored people have been suitably instruct ed the most delightful results have been .seen, and the assertion that olered minis turs are leading their flecks astray by low and sensual lives is net true, as far as it related te the in in is ters of the Methndist church.

Se far as the duel between the Virginia editors arose from the imputation cast by Elam upon Beirne's courage, because the latter had once gene upon the field without caps for his weapon, it may be considered determined that the man who went such a long journey and surmounted se many obstacles te fight, is net lacking iu bravery. Elam had proved his willing ness te take the risks of the duel in a previous encounter out of which he came with a scarred face. But the issue as te whether the respective political parties of these two gentlemen are collectively and individually "liars" is no nearer settle ment than it was befere. Tin: book reviewer of the New Yerk Tribune very savagely scores Prof McMas ter, author of the new history of the people of United States, for his slavish imitations of Macaulay'a style of writing and prints a number of parallel passages te show that in many places this similarity of style approaches bald plagiarism. The critique even gees se far as te arraign the publishers of the book for permitting these and ether traces of slovenly writing te go forth with their impriut. Which latter phase of the criticism recalls the old. quarrel between Whitelaw Reid and the Applotens, about the advertisement and review of the New American cyclopedia which iiappcns te be edited by Reid's bete noir, the erudite Mr. Dana, of the Sun.

Tragic KvenU Id Varleai ijaarters Other Matters. , Three tragic deaths were caused by black damp in Old Ferge township, five miles south of ScrantOD, nnder very nnusual circumstances. These who lest their lives by the accident were David Mc Keown, night engineer ;' William Barnes, night headman, and Jeshua WiIcex,driver boy, all of whom were employed at the Pennsylvania coal company's new shaft, the same place where several hundred pounds of dynamite were recently ex ploded. Clese by the shaft was a well from which the Water supply for the engines was obtained, until the depth of the shaft that was being sunk caused the well te become dry. Seme time during the early morning the young driver boy, Wilcox, went te the well, probably through curi esity, and, coming in contact with the foul air which bad accumulated therein, be. came asphyxiated and fell headlong te the bottom. It is supposed Engineer Mc Mc Eeewn, noticing the fall-of the boy, called Headman Barnes, and the two undertook the perilous task of recuing the lad, and in their noble efforts sacrificed their own lives. When Jehn McDonald, the day engineer, arrived at the shaft te go te work at seven o'clock he missed the night shift, and, thinking some terrible accident had oc curred, began searching for the men, and, after several hours, discovered them in a heap in the bottom of the fatal well. Horrer struck he drew his head away from the fatal opening, just in time te escape a like death, for powerful fumes of gas had nearly overpowered him, and he fell back, half insensible, a few feet from the death trap. Recovering shortly he alarmed the ether workmen in the neighborhood, who at once began efforts te recover the bodies. This was done by placing a bellows ever the well and forcing the foul air out, and in two hours It was sufficiently purified te permit a man te descend aud attach ropes te the bodies, and they were raised from their horrible deathbed. Engineer Mc Mc Keewu was forty-five years old, and a resident of West Pittston. He leaves a wife and three children. Headman Barnes was aged thirty years. lie leaves a family residing in Hyde Park. Yeung Wilcox was sixteen years old, and raade his home with his parents at Moosic. DOWN mtA.DK TO DtSATU. Six People Killed in a Collision.

The accident was caused by :i collision of two sjctiens of a coal train. The first soctleu carried a passenger car en the rear of the C3al cars and in it were fifteen pas sengers. On leaving Johnseuburg the sections were about three hundred yards apart and had the right of way. The second traiu was te keep out of the way of the first. About three-quarters of a mile from Rasselas the first traiu stepped te take water. It was en an up grade and the train was a heavy one. A number of the coal cars, carrying with them the passenger car. broke loeso. The grade at this point is quite steep. The released cars shot down at a frightful speed. All the passengers were asleep and did net knew of the danger. The passenger coach struck the engine of train Ne. 2. The shock was a terrific ene. The engine was wrecked, the passenger tram tern into snhnters and the coal cars piled upon eaeh ether in an indiscribable mass. It was a rairacle that a life was saved.

Butler was proposed in the Central labor union of New Yerk yesterday as graud marshal or orator of the day en the 15th of September, when the union is te have a parade and picnic. The chairman ruled that "Governer Butler could net be permitted te act as marshal as he is net the representative of any labor organiza tion ; also that, as he is a politician, it would be against the constitution of the union te invite him te act as orator." The ruling was appealed from, but, after a warm discussion, the whole matter was laid upon the table.

She secured Miller's discharge from his position as bookkeeper. He madn disparaging re marks about her and was whipped by Glenn. Fer this he claims he thet the man who had often befriended him.

TUB GKEAX OHOI.KKA PANIC. Tbe Canal ADoet 'Abandoned and Grain Kettlne in India Warehouses Egypt's Ancient Curse. A panic in breadstuff's new threatens England. Its imminence is due chiefly te the cholera bleckade against India. There seems te be no relief except from the United States, and Americans, because of tne proDaeility of an epedemie of Asiatic cholera,-which will practically cut off the Indian supply of cereals, have before them the best grain market ever given a nation. There are many elements in this probable breadstuffs panic which bode great ill te the large European speculators in human feed. Nearly all the Londen East Indian houses that deal in cereals, by an apparently concentrated action, early in the spring took steps te forestall the American supply by securing corners in Indian grain. The reasons they allege for their action were that they possessed information showing that New Yerk and Chicago speculators had arranged te se cure in advance the control or the Amer ican grain supply for the present summer, 'and that all reasonable meteorological cal culatiens pointed te bad grain weather throughout England. -"They swarmed In dia with experienced buyers and bought up a monopoly of the present harvest. This is new reaped and is en their hands. The weather throughout England has turned out, contrary te calculation, te have been - uncommonly liue for grain growing. The Suez canal is practically cloud be cause et tne absolute necessary quaran tine. Cholera is ravaging the country en Dotu sides of tnis necessary commercial thoroughfare, and the people of that country, in a state of wild panic, are run ning for their very lives away from their avocations. Grain lies piled up in Bombay and Calcutta and in all the etber Indian ports, with a prospect of retting where it it lies before either labor can be go te handle it or a way be found te get it te market. At this very moment the holders of grain at both Bombay and Calcutta are offering it at bidders' prices, without find ing takers, and the speoularers who find themselves in need of cash money are of. fering discount rates double these which are usual during even a monseou. It is difficult te convey a full idea of the state of apprehension which exists in commer cial cireles affected by the grain trade. The latter is threatened with absolute paralysis, and unless the chelera iu and arennd Egypt is speedily suppressed or confined tbe most certain thing in England is a great panic in the grain trade." The signs of the impending crisis are already alarming iu the Indian ports, where the grain speculation is crushed and where the dealers are being pushed te extremi ties ler settlements. A Panic In 1 aria. In Paris there is a semi panie en account of the chelera. Throughout France there exists a feeling that Englaud is directly responsible for the present state of Egypt. The small holders of Suez shares, who need their interest and have stariug them in the face the prospect of no income from the canal for an indefinite time te come, are te-day in a state of rage against England. They point te the present Egyptian crisis as the first fruit of liUglish control, and are cursing the day en which the Suez cempauy allewed the British fleet free access te the canal as a basis of operations against Arabi. It cannot be denied that there is a general feeling in Europe that the English govern ment, since its occupation of Egypt, has devoted almost its entire energies there te politics and has neglected all theso sani tary measures, which any careful govern ment should have felt itself bound te carry out when put in possession of a country te which they are se peculiary essential. In this view, England is held responsible for the present condition of Egypt and for the danger te Europe whieh that condition threatens. Astounding as it may seem, tbe government, with that peculiar disposition te "drift," as Lord Salisbury doseribes it, appears te be ac -tually inactive with regard te the whele matter. It has goue se far as te say that the French panic has undoubtedly been caused by exaggerated semi official com cem muniques, based probably en bogus press reports, and that there is ground for sus picion that theso falsa reports have been made with the political purpose of in creasing the tendency towards an animosity between the two countries. This in face of the fact that all the countries surround ing Ejjypt are straining every nerve te sccure perfect quarantine. Alall Miscellany.

R Diffenderfier read the follow ing essay for which the society's thanks were voted him : "About a year age I gave this society my experiences in dealing with gapes iu chickens. That communication called out a letter from a gentleman residing in the country, whose poultry yard had, like my own, for years been infected with these pests. He gave in detail a plan he pur sued in the spring of 1882 te avoid this trouble, and which was attended with complete success. It was te keep the chicks from the ground until they wero two months old. He made a pen in his yard with a beard fleer, and here be kept them for eight weeks, when he turned them out, net ene having been affected with gapes. "I had a breed of five chicks hatch out en the 7th of last March. Thcse I put en the second fleer of my stable, which is about twenty feet square. After keeping tbem there for about two weeks I was tempted te give them the benefit of a sunshiny day and brought them down into the yard. Here I left them for several days, when one promptly took the gapes. I returned them te the stable again, where they re mained about four weeks longer, when 1 gave them the liberty of the yard. The ether four -of the breed all escaped the gapes. V 'On the 7h of March two clutches were hatched. These were at ence put mi the upper fleer of the stable, where I gave them the utmost care. Their quarters were kept clean, they had a dust bath, their drinking water was changed several times a day, and green feed was given them at least ence in every 24 hours. The room was light, but the window was ou the north Bide, se that thore was no sun light. Several ether breeds were added te this from time te time. The mothers were confined in coops, but the young ones had the run of the room. Fer a time they seemed te thrive well. But about the fifth week I noticed they began growing weak in their legs ; they were unsteady in their gait, . especially when they ran or tried te jump. This evil grew worse from day te day. They took their feed as heartily as ever, out they grew very slowly and became mere aud mere tottering. I persevered until the first breeds were seven weeks old aud the second let six weeks and four days. Then, seeing that tbey were smaller than tbev should have been, were growing very little and were se enfeebled that -a longer continuance of the experiment would cither kill or permanently injure them all, I brought them down and put them in a glass ceveied yard about 20 by 40 feet in size. " I never saw a wor.-e let of chickens iu my life. There were twenty-oue of the eldest let and six of the younger ones. Net ene was firm en its legs. The totter ing gait was noticeable in every one. With plenty of sunshine, exercise, green feed and careful attention I hoped te get them through all right. But I was mistaken. Just twelve days after they were brought down, and when they were two days less than nire weeks old, two of tbem de veloped gapes ; en the following day four mere get tbem, and-from that day until the present time tbey have been having these worms. Never befere had I such a bad let te deal with. Net only was it necessary te remove the parasites ence but twice, and iu several instances three times from the same chick. Net one bird escaped. Seme were se large that they did net show the most violent symptoms, but merely coughed and sneezed and Miertcd. I ex perimented en seme of these and removed parasites, even though they did net gape. In fact, my poultry yard resembled a nur sery in which a few dozeu babies had the whooping cough. "Although two weeks have elapsed since they were infected, all have net yet re covered. They are nearly all ever the gapping period of the disease, but most of them still cough. As they are new uearly three months old, the worms are unable te choke or kill thorn, aud I regard them as out of danger from this cause. I operated en one of the largest recently that gaped and coughed most, but could find no worms with a prebe ivie inches long. Evidently the parasites are down the windpipe a greater distance than that. One of the chicks died of disease, but none from gapes. It is only a week since, I may say, that these chicks have really get ever their feebleness and become strong. They gave almost u- iimiuished evidence of their weakness for three weeks after they were taken out doers. Several are net yet ever it. Since the experiment 1 have been takiug the yeuug chicks out of doers at once, and of course they have all been getting the gapes. Only one chick died for me from this disease, and then the fault was my own, a want of caution in operating en it. " Frem the foregoing it will bj seen my experiments were a complete failure. It . is trne, the gapes kept away as long as the chicks remained ou the beard tloer of the stable, but all took them afterwards. Besides, the young birds were enfeebled very seriously by the method employed. I am sure they would te-day be ene third larger than they are had I never pursued the plan I did. I am persuaded, therefore, that te make the plan pursued successful the ex periment must be carried en out of doers. If there is a beard fleer, with plenty of sunshine and out of deer air, the young birds may escape the gapes, eve,: en tainted premises, as in the case of my cor respondent, but when carried en ou the upper fleer of a stable, without sunshine and pure air, net only will stamina of the chicks be impaired, but they will get the gapes after their removal out of doers." UKAIU OF A TKAMF. Au Unknown Kndit bis Days In a Scheel Heuse Vara. An unknown tramp, aged about 45,died in the yard of the Smoketown school house, in East Lampeter township en Sat urday. Towards evening another tramp went te a house near by and told the folks that a man was dying in the school yard. Dr. Musser and another man went ever te the school yard, but the man was then dead. Corener Shiffer was notified and he held an inquest, the verdict being death from natural causes. Thu body was brought te this city and interred at the almshouse. There were no papera en the man by which he could be identified. He had a full black beard which was slightly mixed with gray : was very .poorly dressed and his stomach was entirely empty. V
