It is only when some grent'esinm
ty is brought borne to the American
Pet,ple,that.Aey recollect their like-
ness to — other peoples. We have
thought it natural, and perhaps un
avoidable, that the potentates of the
old o orld 'Should sit their thrones in
fear and, trembling. Attempts upon
the liven of-Europeani monarchs have
been reiarded by the ! American peo'-
ple as - the necessary . outcome of
hercditary - rule and arbitrary laws.
Neither press nor people have re;
gargled such violence in Europe ex
actly,in its true light. When assas
sination has been
. attempted it has_
been customary to warn the rulers'
that they Were reaping the fruits of a
long course of tyranny, and some
have expected that the assassin would,
in time, vacate' every throne in the
civilized worK
But this is a free country, with
•
system of. government which cannot
Become the agent of tyranny unless
the people decree it. We have not
yet beet one hundred years a nation:
Our nationality date's from the adop
tion of tho Constitution and 'the
erection of tieorge WaiThingtun Pres
ided. Within that tithe Presi
dent has fallen by the hand of the
assassin, and attempts I have been
made upon the livei of two others.
And our fortunes have been east in
an exceptionally favorable period of
human history. We have not cone
up to our present prowl preeminence
in_ the natural way. We had not
to : wrestle with barbarism within.
Compared with nations of the east
we have no history. Our ancestors
brought civilization and many of its
triumphs: with them. We entered
upon an improved estate in,the very
beginning of national existence. Yet
within our first century the'land of
the 'assassin has been ditected;agabist
authority three several times. This
has hardly k been exceeded in the
most despotic country within • the
same period. •
From -this we are to learn, if not
too proud to fearn, that crime has
no especial habit.. It is like a pesti
lence ; whereVer the conditions serve
crime has its lurking-places. And
though it has been customary to refir
such crimes •.c. the oppressions 01 the
many by the few, we itre unable tc.
make such reference when the 05i134-
sin plies his dre ul -business here.
These alpaca are. all - •:eo to in
the name of liberty and the file.
But we know that in fact neither
liberty not neivilized - people require
the services of assassins. We may
learn from history that desdly as
saults upon the. representaVvis of
authority have never widened the
area of liberty or struck a chain from
the limbs of .:any people. Orie dins-
sination of which
,much- account has
been made—that of .'9'LIi.TSVISAR-*
fuinishes the history of all. - exsAn
was nobler than the age in which he
lived. .He came' into power when
national morals were at the lowest
ebb. •He had • granit-conceptionsi.of
what Rome 3110411(111Q:but having'no
colleagues of equal nobility and
greatness he was compelled to set
up as an • aatocrat or sink intO.the
mire in which_ Mime wallowed: la
trying to. raise Rome from its abjete
prostration he offended against the
demagoguery of his time. , And his
death wa4 a natural and logical se
quence oT his sublime effort:" -What 7
ever, niayJlave •been, the hardships
entailed "uPon .a -people sunk In effenr;
inacy and vice by his vigorous 'ad
ministration, ive . -11ave only to study
the fortune's of Mime
,from the hour
C.EsAn was murdered to know that
they declined from that hour until
the nation passed out of histOry into
oblivion.' " -
...-
But we have canonizlA,;llitcrus
all the same., The world took a uar
row and-superficial view of the - work
of C 5.5.5.4. It took a dangerous view
of the act of BituTus. lii so 'much.
as it has taught, that it is'eveiright‘
to reform 'governments by assassina
tion • upon that teaching rests the
responsibility for all the assassina
tions, or attempts:_ to assassinate
rulers, from that day to this.' - There
is no room for assassins in history..
One and 01 they are outlaws' who- -
use the sacred name of liberty' and
people to excuse • their dep'avity.
And, they are all cowards'. Liberty_
owes, and can owe 'nothing to cow
ardice. It is the offsprinof courage,
of patience, of unwaverThg faith in
God and love to man. •
THE STATE TIL EAST It EltSlo'.
We arc glad_ to of ffierve that the
candidacy of our townsman, Hon.
W T. ID.tvlts, for the. 'nothination
or-State Treasurer, is v'er'y fav:orab
received and generally cw.lorsed 'by
the Press throughout the,iState; and
that, his prospectsfOr receiving the
nomination - are 'bec-oming brighter
every day. A - careful and well
posted Philadelphia correspondent
of the New , York: • writing
under date of July 12th, thus speaks
Of Mr. -D - AVIES' prospects for the
nominationi=if nominated there isn't
the shadoW of a doubt, as to his
election : •
The State Convention, postponed to a
date so late 7 llthugh quite-early enough--
that there will be but a brielcauvas.s of fin
days, will meet at. Ilarrizdnag • All Thurs--
day, the •Sth of September. Its4nily bas-1
iness, besides. adopting a platform; will be
to nominate a candidate for State Treacc
nrer. Under the Constitution, no person
is eligible as Treasurer for two consecutive
terms '
and tlie,_present incumbent, the
Hon. Samuel Butler, of Chester . county,
who was-elected in 1879_ by a majority
approaching 00,000, and who has made
an excellent officer, is, therefore, barred
out. Several candidates- are prominently
named, however, StatcbSenator George V.
Lawrence, of WaAington county, being
among those first 'spoken of. • A .more
probable selection, however,: now appears
to be the lion. W. T. DavieS,*.of Bradford
'county, who also is a member of the State
Senate, being elected in November last
for a second term of four years. Mr. Da
vies, like Senator Lawrence, stood out of
the-caucus last winter; with, the other In
dependents; his section ,of the Sate being
ardently_ devoted to Mr. GroW, 'and he
adhered to the-movement to the end, be-1
ing greatly. gratified with the - final selec
tion of Mr. 'Mitchell. Notwithstanding
this action, however,,Mr. Davies was,. up
to last January, a close.' friend of Senator
Cameron and Mr. Quay,and 'they would
probably not be unwilling
. now to giVe
hint 'a cordial support. No other person
seems to -be so seriously' proposed as -a
candidate. It is likely, too, that his as
sociates in the 'anti ;Oliver . movement
would-stand by him very cheerfully. The ,
: most prominent of
,them in the Senate
were-John- Stewart, of Franklin county,
Dr. Joseph Thomas, of Bucks,- C. S.
Kauffman, of Lancaster, and J. W. Lee,
of Venango.' Messrs. 'Stewart and Lee
may be set down as two of the men cit.-
thin to be in the front - Of any movement
for-a change,in the leadership and organi
zation of the Republican Farty of the
State. •
• TifF.T.aston Fre: Press is of the opinion
—and we think the opinion eorre - ct-4that
"while GUJTEac ought tO have thejull
benefit of the law relating to lunatics, the
laW ought to provide that any person
kills another , -by plan and. deliberation
shall be hanged, no matter whether the
- .
murderer's nneesteLS have all been ci.`aiy
or whether - the; murderer himself is gener
ally crazy. Anybody who is sane enough
.to plan n nntrder, and base enough to
commit a - murder when na inn frenzy, is
a proper subject for the -gallows and
should dangle hence,
.:paying blood for
blood, in every fairly ascert ail ictl in4a nee.
This seetirs to be the kind of - Murderer
„
Grin:At . : would be if the President slontm 1
.lie. The object of society in• punishing;
murder is to prevent it. A lunatic sane
enough to love life is sane enough not to .
commit Murder if it is to cost life in ex:
piatimi beyond peradventure. E t very man
is morally accountable who is .mentally
capable of schemingand executing. The
rule ought to be to make a terrible exam-
I pie of every Than who takes life, and to.
this ride - there should be no exception but
,-
, in cases of, absolute idiocy and frenzy at
1 - the moment the act is committed— Apart
from idiot-y and -momentary frenzy; irre
sistible impulse. to commit murder is a
great big joke on criminal jurisprudence.
.n irresistible 'ititpalse .lasting for More
than thirty seconds, ought not to save a
murderer fromeapitiil punishment, These
remarks have no relation to killing in self-
defence or justifiable homicide." - .

A FEARFUL CYCLONE

' .Inly L' .—Short

cyclone of :the most -terrific violence
struck this. town demoliAing (ter
one hundred ,buildings and-killing' or
wounding upwards of thirty 'persons.
Though other towns) in the vicinity
were visited by the storm to a great
er or less . dcgree of violence, the .full
force of the ...}clone vented itself here.
Accordirc to the 'evidence- of 'eye

over this place and the work of de
struction was - accompli4ed 'in less
than fifteen minutes*. .be course of
the 'cyclone could be distinctly dis
corned.and it seetned , tb be moving
ieseparate volunn;s from the north .
and south. At 4;34i—o'clock black
clouds gathered with great rapidity.'
The thunder. and lightning were ter-
The wind lilew a hurricane,
while the rain descended in blinding
sheets. There was g moment's lull,
and then,a .cyclone•- struck the town,
almost destroying it, and then-disap

etfeets are almost indescribable.
Some houses * were struck by light
ning'others
,were. lifted up bodily.
by the violence 'of the wind, . and
-others were deurolished-by thelying
debris from other. buildings. Scores
of•dwellings and stores *were_nearly
destroyed. Very few escaped-unin=
jUred. Many had the.' roofs
,blown
off, were so badly
,Mijointed • by
the , wind that they will have to be
pulled down and rebuilt. The storm
was most, - destructive in the north
end of the city; whole becks of frame
buliding4 were swept away. Hardly
a barn or stable.eseapea, and it is es
timated over one hundred horses and
cattle were destroyed. G. km?
doiph, mayor of the: city, estimates
the total loss at $500,000, and the low
est estimate; is $350,000. Aside from
'oss of life the worst feature of the
enfamity is that none of the property
deStroyed is insured against - ,acok

Chicag'o, Rock Island and Pacific train of
a daringly-planned and suceessful train
fobbery at Winston, on the Rock Island
road, .a short .distance east of Cameron.
The.train robbers were six in number and.
were supposed to be under the le'idership
of-Jesse James. The men boarded the
train which- leaves this city at 6 p, m. at
Cameron. At Winston when the train
stopped they stood up in the aisle of a car
with drawn revolvers. One of the ban
dits ;advanced with a revolver in each
band-towards William Westfall, the con
ductor,- and ordered him to hold np his
hands: The conductor NVIi3 slow in com
plying with his demands dud was shot
throug,h the heart by, the desperado. One
' of the' other men shot . through the head
John McCullough. a stonecutter, of Wil
ton-Juliet ion,who turned outward from his
seat. The men then went through the
train to the express car and overpowered
the United States express-Messenger Chas.
ilit'rray, who was intimidated into open
ing the safe,' from which ti:5,000 was tak
en. The desperadoes then went to t
he
engine and told the engineer to .start his
train. This he•could not do on aeconnt
of the automatic brake, and he was at
once fired upon by the rObbers. The en
gineei put out the. light in the -cab and
crawled along the foot board.to. the pihit;
and after extinguishing the headlight laid
down on the pilot. ,The robbers made no
search for hini, but. departed. No attempt
was -made to I rob the passengers.. The
