WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 25.1004.
la Their One States.
Mr. Jehn Kelly Is reported as declaring
that Blaine could carry New Yerk
against Cleveland, and Mr. Dana Bays
something te a llke effect in the Sun.
We have always considered Mr. Kelly
te boa man of geed Judgment, ami we
therefore, doubt much whether he ever
said anything of the kind. SInce he takes
care te declare that Tammany Hall will
heartily support the Democratic nomi
nee, he denudes himself of the power
and disposition te accomplish the result
he Is said te prophesy. With Tammany
Hall solidly for the Democratic nomi
nee, and the ether Democratic organiza
tions of New Yerk the strong advocates
of Cleveland's nomination, where would
his stabs, ceme from as the Democratic
candidate ?
Mr. Dana's judgment is net se geed
as Mr. Kelly's, and the bias of his strong
prejudices may sincerely lead him te the
conviction that Cleveland would be a
weak candidate In New Yerk ; but until
he can show geed cause for his opinion
It will continue te be the general judg
ment that a candidate who is strong in
the country will be strong In New Yerk
also. Cleveland is certainly strong In
the nation, and it would lx reasonable
te couclude thatstate prlde would makt
mm stronger in New Yerk, it is au
open secret that he has enemies among
the influential men of his party In New
Yerk, Just as Mr. Randall has or hnd
in Pennsylvania. But they can achieve
no mere against him as the national
Democratic candidate than Mr. Ran
d all's enemies in Pennsylvania could de,
without showing their hand ; whlchjthey
would net dare te de. It is safe te be
Hove that if Mr. Cleveland is nominated
for president, he will poll the full part
vote in New Yerk, just as Mr. llandall,
If nominated, will get all the Demo
cratic votes in Pennsylvania. It seems
silly te talk of the weakness of a man
of high character, as a presidential can- j
didate In his own state, when nothing at
all is or can be said against his fitness
for the place.

Ilamelln's L'jper.
The mastery of music ever nature is a
legend old as Orpheus. It appears and
reappears in the traditions of every pce
ple and the literature of every tongue,
with the peculiarity that the weird and
spirit music, which charms the rocks
and trees and irresistibly jnaU9r the
dims ei me air ami wasta or the ueiu te i
fellow. Ua spell, Is something different I
me Aipieicn or jjitenspiegen irem mat
which delights the soul and thrills the
sense of human appreciation.
The dwarf Gieuf, of the Chinese tale,
who cleared Ispahan of its tormenting
vetmin and, when refused his premised
reward, sent his old black mother, fifty
feet high, who steed with whip in the
marketplace, strangled the townswomen
and enticed them te her magic tower ;
the hermit of Lerch, who cleared it of
insects, the charcoal burner who rid it
et its crickets, and the old man of the
mountains who piped its children into
the Tannenberg ; the fiddler of liran
denberg-all these are the same character,
and their story is almost identical with
that which Rebert Urewning tells se
charmingly in his " Pied Piper of Ham
elin." Who that has read It can ever
forget its quaintness and beauty, its
pathe3 and the melancholy moral of the
quiet Uungen Btreet in which no mirth
nor music ever wakes an echo.
And new It happens that en the com
ing six hundredth anniversary of the
time when the pied piper first led out
therat8 and then, being ungratefully
treated, lured forth the children of
Hamelin, en the 2sth and 29th of this
month, the people of Hamelin will com
memerate, with dramatic festivities and
realistic precession, the beautiful story
which is forever set in Iirewnlng'a
veree. Like the Schwabian festivals and
the Coventry celebration, before it ivas
degraded te buffoonery, there is much te
be commended in thiscomlngcelebratien
at Hamelin. Art and poetry should
lend grateful service te refine it, and
every lever of legendary literature will
be rejoiced te hear of a fit and successful
commemoration.

There Is danger that Jehn Alexander
Legan may lese the sole remaining
identity attaching te him as the un
flinching enemy of the grammatical
methods of Llndley Murray. Since his
nomination for the vice presidency Iils
political personality has been us out
pletely swallowed up as though devoured
by the triple headed dragon of old. ills

is lapldly gaining ground that she h.ts

see te It that he is promptly rescued
from the maze in which he has involved
himself, and In comparison with which
the labyrinth of Crete is us nethlug.
These who have been following the
career of this remarkable man profess u
have found four different Legans, all of
whom rejoice in the Christian nurae of
Jehn Alexander. The Democratic Jelui
loomed up in the llouse of Repn-sentii.
tlyeain Washington, when en Feb 5
1859, in reply te the strictures of a R u
publican member, he said :
All I have te say in reply la that I oame

A grand jump tornado from this pe
riod te June 21, 1684, and le, the trans
formation 1 An Individual believed te
be the same Mr. Legan thus belches
forth en the future of the party he had
ence condemned :
The Republican party represents the
latest fruition of governmeutal program,
nud Is destined te survlve npeu the thoerv
that the strong outlives the weak, until
tne development or principles still mere
advanced shall compel it te measure its
step with the mareli of the age or go te
the wall as an instrument which has ful
lllled itt destiny.
Again before the footlights we soe ene
Jehn A. Legan as a rabid " nigger
Jjater," who in a public speech In the
llouse, Icc. !), 1850, alluded te Jehn
Brown as a "traitor, thief and sceun
drel.". Hew can this Jehn be reconciled
with the Jehn of ISSt, talklug of the
preservation of the political rights of the
humblest cltlren, "whatever his color"?
Net qulte three weeks has elapsed
since his nomination, and yet it is the
work of a skilled juggler te discover
which of these four Legans is the Re
publican vice presidential nominee The
Preteau Jehn, for the sake of his friends
and his party, should confine himself te
the murderlng of the Queen's English,
for thus only can his identity be fully
preserved.
Tin: business men and banks of the
country who took trade dollars In at par,
In geed faith, and have lest nearly a
year's interest en them, with no pros
pect of their redemption, will de well te
remember where the responsibility for
the failure te redeem them rests. The
Democratic Heuse very promptly passed
a proper bill te accomplish this. 'I he
Republican Sennte bucked and gagged
It. In this county, especially, there are
many thousands of these coins lying idle
in the hands of theso who held them and
cannot use them save nt a less of -eme
thirteen per cent. The banks, stores,
tradesmen, mechanics and many peer
people have them in amounts running
from $10 te ?".0k). The Republican
party platforms were profuse in prom
ises te redeem them ; the Senate ob
structs all measures te that end. Vete

Mil. B. P. Jesus, of Pittsburg is pro
posed ter chairman of the Republican
national committee. He is without
experience in politics, but he is rich, has
a knowledge of business and Is " an

at ILirrlahurg for delegate at large en
this latter account and his friends found
their satisfaction in supplanting Chris
Migee with him as the Pennsylvania

At the feet of the hich mountain called
Tem Ball, iti the northeast of Alferd, Yt.,
ua.i msiiicu ter ia jcars Aaren Arneld and
his wife, a ropectable werthv couple. ies-
stssed of seme llttle property. Arneld
catne te Alferd from Trey, X. ., and
located wucre no new is. lie was a sailor
years age, circumnavigating the glebe in
quest of whales. He well understood nil
the mysteries of sailors' life nud was
skilled as a ship carpenter. Having no
children and feeling louely, 12 ears age
hocencolvod the idea of building a steatu
beat. Though net large in dimensions,
this was accomplished and the beat taken
te the Hudsen river, whoie it is new used
as a tug, towing barges up and down the
river. The feat se increased his passion for
shipbuilding that eight years age, though
SO miles from tide water, among the
marble cliiTs of Alferd, in his deer yard
back of his rcsidcuce he latd n keel. This
he seen removed teau old barn nearby. In
secret he worked, but few neighbors
kuewlug anj thing about it, until this
spring, when, the beat being linlshed ex
cept the masts, he tore down the barn and
revealed te the astonished gare of passers
a well made, two masted schooner, thlrty thlrty
tlve feet long, teu wule and nine deep, nud
of twenty live tens burden. The beat was
correct iu all her proportions, and el solid
old oak. Hundreds visited it, aud he ob
tained the soubriquet of the Medem Neah.
The strongest trucks and four team horses
wero ebtaiued te draw it te the Hudsen,
aud after working two diys the beat was
taken te the roadside, when, owing te its
great weight seme nme tens the iron
nxles of the truck bent ami the teams could
go no further. The attempt was for the
time abaudeued aud it begau te be whis
pered that Neah's ark would be left te
decay, net ou Ararat, but at the feet of
Tem Bell, as a monument te the sailor who
was unwise enough te open a navy yard
high and dry in Alferd. Mr. Arneld
eftered a noiguber $50 te draw the beat te
the Hudsen, aud it is reported that the
eirer was nccepted and that trucks
strong enough could be obtained at Pitts
Held ; but this icheme has been nipped in
the bud, for the beat was set ou tire and
totally destroyed. Various rumors
are atleat about it. The opinion
of Arneld's best friends has been
that he had an elephant ou his hands
As he is net supposed te have au enemy iu
the world, some think he or some members
of his family has been wise eunuch te rid
themselves of the burden, whleh might
have been the means of frightening horses
uuu ueing uamage wnue in transit te i''
water. It is also reported the: Arneld
has passed sleepless unjh and trouble
some days, reK-i"J.'ug the prospective
failure of fret again snitflug the briny
dcep tli a craft of his own construction.
As he had set his heart en it, a few friends
fear it may affect his mind, as be is new
seme 70 j ears old, ind a large portion of
his fertune has beeu swal'ewed up iu
eight years' labor and expense. Others
think, however, that a wealthy sister has
compensated him for the beat by a cash
gift or deed cf the homestead where Ar
neld resides. Be these ramers true or
false, the sturdy schooner will never float
the noble Hudsen, her sails will ueer
catch the breeze and Arneld will never
smii the briny deep In his own craft.

veloped in llameH by a member of the

hundreds , but by thu time of the nrrlval
of assistance the tlatucs had gained such
rapid headway that it was imiossible te
check their disastieus course, and all

with dimensions of lit! feet by (10 feet, nud
a large wageushed, together with their
contents, consisting of n horse power, hay

quickly ceusumed. The tire originated iu

from the buildings, but the act excited no
suspicion at the time. It Is quite proba

the barn. A number of men and be), en

a suspicious looking character en horse

of tbe lire. Beiug desirous of knowing
the whereabouts et the coullagratien, they
steppsd him and inquired of him concern

As it was dark he was net recognized by
