THURSDAY, NOV. 17, 1881.
Entered at the Post-office at
Ridqway, Pa., as second class
mail matter.
40,200.
Is the number of votes that Cbas.
8. Wolfs received as an Independent
candidate for the office of State
Treasorer at the recent election.
Stronger than words these figures
emphasize the fact that the time is
soon to arrive when the strength of
the mighty masses will throw off the
hackles of dictatorship, and rise
In the glory of independent man
hood. It is a well-known fact that
tbe large vote cast for Mr. Wolfe does
sot represent all the Independent Re
publicans In this great State, on the
contrary it is but a fraction of the
great majority who believe in the
sublime doctrine of Popular Rule
and Free Representation, but
who voted for Mr. Baily on account of
bis gallant record as a soldier on the
field of strife, and his pure character
as a citizen and a man in the walks of
life, and because they did not desire at
this time to see Democracy succeed.
The 4,200 independent men who
voted for Wolfe did not weigh all
these fine points, but with the shame
less conduct of the hoses in mind took
up tbe cudgel to slay the noble oi l
party thinking no doubt thut it? dont h
was much to be preferred to it' iiiV
under tbe ignoble boss-musters. Am!
many who refused to take up the
cudgel hoping that the future may
bring relief, and patiently biding: the
time when their strength may be
asserted, have suffered the disgrace of
boesfem about long enough, and unless
the warning of the 49,200 is heeded,
will in turn resort to the remedy of
their more forward brethren, and If
future eveuts should make such a
course necessary woe to the puny
bauds raised to stay the storm of the
popular wrath. We are all sovereigns
in .the grand structure of this free
government, and as good citizens of
this magnificent State and Nation,
when tbe men who are expected to do
eur bidding attempt to dictate to their
masters tbe seal of public disapproval
should forever sink In infamy the au
dacious rascals. Forty-nine thousand
two-hundred! The light is breaking.
Little bosses, and big bosses will
please take notice. Let our watch
word be Popular Rule and Free
Representation.
The independent and movable
vote in Pennsylvania and New York
at the lust election means something
more than a development of independ
ent spirit. The ease with which
voters can be readied has increased
enororniously of late years. Ten,
twenty, thirty years ago the voters of
our cities, still more the voters of a
State, had grown into a great mass too
large for an Individual canvass, and
accessible only by tbe daily. In miiuy
cuses the weekly, newspapers. The
printed registry list and the postal
carrier system in cities, carelul organ
ization in the country, and more
money in both, has borught about a
system under which argument and
appeal is thrust into each mau's band.
The touch of the elbow is restored by
the use of these methods in a good
cause, and independent voters and the
organizers of independent movements
can get at each other as never before'
Bosses had best take notice. Tbe ad
vantage and employment of an organ
ization are no longer on their side.
Philadelphia Prest.
The McKeesport Postmaster.
Washington. Nov. 15. The Presi
dent commissioned a large number of
Postmasters yesterday and to-day. A
commission for Samuel E. Carothers.
tbe newly appointed Postmaster at
McKeesport, Pa., In regard to whom a
lively contest is being waged between
the Cameron and anti-Cameron Re
publicans of western Pennsylvania
was sent to the President from the
Post Office Department yesterday. He
signed it to-day, but It is for the present
at tbe Post Office Department. Con
gressman Bayne of. Pittsburgh, ac
companied by a delegation of citizens
of McKeesport, called on the President
yesterday, and urged him to withhold
Carotbeis commission, on the ground
that' he Is for various reasons not
locally acceptable. The President is
reported to have replied that he eould
not properly accede to this request.
In vlewof Carother's confirmation by
tbe Senate, but that if it should turn
out that the appointment was a bad
one, tbe proper way to meet tbe case
would be by making a new nomina
tion when the Senate reassembles.
A Louisville girl made an engage
ment to elope with a young man whom
ber father bad forbidden to enter the
house. The plan was to ride in a close
carriage across tbe line into Indiana,
have the marriage ceremony per
formed, and return to boldly announce
themselves husband and wife. This
vh carried out as far aa the start in
the carriage.. Then the man kissed
tbe girl, and she found whiskey on
his breath. More than that, she judged
bis unusual vivacity to be the result of
alight intoxications She at once de
clared the affair off. As he would not
turn back, she called a polieemaa to
ber aid, got Into another carriage, aud
went borne unmarried.

KICKERS.
Ood blew the kickers. This word
has come to have a new and very ex
pressive meaning. No other word
takes its place, and no set of words
can be compounded which approach
this one for brevity and earnestness.
The man who kicks must of course
expect to receive pay in kind. There
are scores of kickers of all grades of
usefulness in the world. Aud the
sticklers for the worn out ruts of old
things because they are old hate with
a sincere hatred the brave spirits who
attempt to leave the old rut, and for
mulate new doctrines and new theo
ries. Although the word is new In
its now-a-days application, yet the in
dividual known as the kicker has ex
isted for ages, ever since tbe light of
truth aud research has sought to dis
pell the Egyptian dark new of super
stition aud error. In the old days
kickers were burned at the Make or
their heads were chopped off. This
generally ended the kicker but tbe
ideas which his ruce have brought
forth are abroad in the world to-day
and serve to illume and bless the
earth. In political parties of the day
there are three classes: the bosses;
those who look on indifferently; and
the kickers. Bosses are not a new
thing, and even kickers in parties are
not new. We all recollect with what
scorn the few were treated who had
the hardihood to declare that human
bondage was wrong in the sight of
God and man. They would have been
served as were the kickers of old hud
that style of doing business been In
vogue at the time. But the kickers
succeeded, and a party sprang up
which Is now known as the Republi
can party, and slavery through that
party was abolished although at a ter
rible costof blood and treasure. There
has arisen and exists to-day in many
.-'tates a wrong system which holds in
bondage of another kind the voters of
the party, as firmly as did the bonds
of slavery 4,000,000 human beings.
The system is known as Bossistu, and
we spell the word with a big B. It is
too well understood to need explana
tion here. In New York State the
kickers carried the day and the system
is no more. Several stout kickers
have arisen in the Keystone State, and
to them we must look to free the
party from the obnoxious reign. The
kickers are doing a good work and
the people should rise to their rescue
Reform in the party if possible, if not
then strouger means are justifiable,
Meanwhile kick the bosses on the
shins so hurd that they will under
stand whut it means. We heard a
man say, "Damn the kickers,'' We
knew lie meant perdition to every one
who stands up for a right course in
the party, for fear it might not oper
ate to the good of the bosses. He
who uttered the words would do for a
petty despot in Russia, but be will
never do for a leader in tbe politics of
a free country. Are not the funda
mental principles of this government
free speech and a free press? Are not
the majority to rule? Of course they
are, but under the new rule of the
bosses all men are to be damned who
differ with them. Down with the
kickers is their cry. Down with the
bosses should be the maxim of all
well meaning people. The kicker
will be out in full force by another
full. And where will the little bosses
and the big bosses be then?
A Marvelous Accident.
FIVE MEN BLOWN 120 FEET ESCAPE
WITHOUT INJURY.
About nine miles below New
Chicago is what Is known as "the
lower rock cut." The trade is twelve
or fifteen feet above the Hell Gate
Piver, and the rocky blulf out oi
which it is being Masted, is twenty or
twentv-flve feet higher. On Tuesday
morning of this week a "sand" or
"crevise" blast was set in this bluff.
The main blast consisted of seven kegs
of black powder sunk in a depth of
fifteen or twenty feet, with two smaller
auxiliary blasts set with shorter tui-e
to open the crevise. It being but h
short distance below tbe company
store. Nelson Bennett, contractor, and
F. H. Anderson, book-keeper, wulked
down to see the shot. Tbe fuse was
find tlie men sought shelter, and ex
plosions followed in quick succession.
!;!, nett said: "The shots have all
p:iit off; let's go down," and started
limn. Some said, "No! the big shot
is i.j't offyet!" but he kept on, Ander-.-
!, ItobertDunn, Mike McCarty and
' 'laries Reiehenberg following. Some
tn.e buck called out again, "The big
shot Isn't fired yet!" Bennett, who
by this time had readied the portion
of the bluff which was mined and saw
the rock undisturbed, is reported to
have replied, "No, but she going now,
and so are we." And sure enough
they did. The seven keg charge ex
ploded with terrific force, throwing
what Engineer Morgan estimates at
three hundred cubic yards of rock
out toward and into the river and
carrying with it the men named.
Some of them were thrown 120 feet
out into the river, being projected
even further than the bulk of the rock
which filled up tbe river bed and
turned it out on the southern hunk.
Those witnessing the sight were
filled witli horror, aud It was not sup
posed one of the unfortunate men
would be found alive. Consternation
prevailed for the moment and the
workmen flocked from all directions.
Their astonishment was great when
one by one the exploded men beun
clambering out for the shore: every
one alive and uninjured.

A Cnrlons Cremation.
HOLDERS OP DEATH-RATTLE POLICIES
PREPARING TO BURN THEM.
Reading. Nov. 13. Saturday was
tbe day set apart for the cremation of
grave-yard Insurance policies, and at
Heldt's tavern, Douglas township,
this county, about forty disgusted policy-holders
assembled, loaded down
with policies. A rude pine coffin had
been provided and was mounted on a
rude platform in a neighboring shed.
The, stories of the policyholder were
rich, rare and racy, and were related
with much gusto. At the head of the
coffin the quaint and curious ceremony
continued for several hours, but owing
to the rain tbe cremation was post
poned until another time in the near
future.
A circular Issued several weeks ago
and freely distributed in Berks and
uelghboring'counties, announced that
on Saturday afternoon, November 12,
alt the weary, heavy laden and dis
gusted holders of graveyard life insur
ance policies would assemble at the
above named place for the purpose of
consigning to eternal destruction every
vestige of their speculative Insurance
folly.
"Well, I reckon they'll nil be here
with their policies," said a Berks
county farmer. "I see the boys 've
got the coffin all ready, and this is the
afternoon Tor tho cremation. It's u
great pity that the weather's so rainy
We expected men from Lehigh, Mont
gomery. Berks, Bucks and North
ampton counties. Then the roads are
so bad. Hod these drawbacks not oc
curred, why instead of fifty strangers
that are now here, we'd have had five
hundred," said the old man, whose
side overcoat pocket was well filled
with papets which proved to be Insur
ance policies.
"Oil, yes I'm one of the victims,''
said he. "I was roped In by a sr ooth
tongued young agent, and br ore I
knew It I held policies over people I
never heard of before. The agent said
they lived over In the mountains and
were dying. I knew I was doing
wrong, but the devil and that ngent
had the best of me. A few days after
ward I found out that those people I
held policies on were very old and
feeble, but they wouldn't die, as I have
found out to my sorrow Indeed, dy
ing people now-a-days let themselves
be insured on purpose to live longer.
Insurance seems to make them health
ier and stronger. Well, I ot in deeper
and deeper, aud in three yeurs I have
paid out over four thousand dollars,
and I made my mind up to quit. Why,
I hud but one old woman t die of my
insurance, and she brought me In but
$160 on a thousand dollar policy. So
I determined to come to this cremation
in order to do whut little I could
toward making a show that would
teach the whole country a healthy les
son of the folly of speculative insur
ance. AH these men that you see in
the tavern feel just as I do. They
have their policies with them and
they have made up their minds never
to pay another dollur of assessment."
The old man was correct, and a few
hours later, when some twotdozen of
them piled up their policies on the bar,
there were enough to have filled a
large-sized basket. The rain cume
down in torrents, and finally it wus
determined that the cremation would
be postponed until sucli time as fair
weather would permit an open-air
ceremony, after due public anounce
ment hud been made.
The following programme was sug
gested, and in all probability will be
curried out. The coffin is to be placed
on a frame platform in the middle
of tbe public road Underneath
will be strivings sutuiui-'d w',:n
oil. On the morning nt the cremation
day, the leading gravey-.ir I insurance
fchouls of the county will he hung in
effigy. In the afternoon the policy
holders will form a hollov square
about the coffin. The oldest policy
holder will be master of ceremonies,
and will lake his position ut the beud
of the coffin. He will appoint bis as
sistants aud the orator of the day
The policy-holders will advance one
by one and drop their policies in the
coffin. Each man will be allowed
five minutes to give his experience.
He must do so ut the coffin side, and
when finished he will drop it in, in
full view of all present. After each
experience three groans will be given.
No man who is afraid of having his
name printed need show himself on
tbe ground. An ode specially written
for the occasion will be sung to tlie
tune of "Old Grimes." Copies will be
printed in advance and handed around.
The master of ceremonies will read a
line, which will then be sung after
him, line for line, until tbe odo is
euded. One groan will follow each
verse. Every one participating wid be
expected to preserve a straight face
and discountenance any levity At
tlie conclusion of tlie ode three groans
will follow, and after a few brief re
murks by the orutor.of the day, a
mutch will be applied and the plat
form, coffin and all tlie policies will be
destroyed. A grand walk around will
follow, ii nd later in tbe evening a
dance will take place in commemora
tion of the liberation of the slaves of
the insurance musters. No date has, us
yet, been fixed upon, but it is believed
thut Saturday, December 3, will be
named. The most eiuborate prepar i
tious will be made for the event, and
from present appearances a general
holiday in that section will be obser
ved on that day.
"I'm sorry you traveled all this dis
tance to-day and then not see I be crenia
tlon," said the farmer above alluded to,
"but then you see for yourself thut
while we are all ready and willing.
we could not go through with the cere
mony in tbe rain to day. Besides we
expect six times as many policy bold'
era here on a clear day. Don't fail to
be here when it comes off. It will be
a rare sight. ,
