History is but repeating itself, and ;
j the struggle now, as in 1S72, involves
' the life of the Republican party, as
well as the lair lame anu good name
of one of our ablest aad purest sol-
diers. The result now will be the !
same as in 1872. i
If the bill to reduce taxation
which has just passed the House be
comes a law, as it nc doubt will, it
will effect a reduction of about
twenty-four million dollars in the
National revenue. This is a large
6um of money to give up, but for
tunately it is no larger than the
country can afford to surrender, and
the chances are that it will not be
long before this remission is more
than made up by the growth of
revenue consequent upon the rapid
development of our natural resour
ces and of the increase in popula
tion which is now going ou. For a
long term of years the American
public has borne a heavy burden of
taxation without exhaustion or com
plaint, and it is fairly entitled to
this instalment of relief.

done is to take the field with General

of the party, and trust to the good
sense and loyalty to principles of
the Republicans of the State.
Of the result we have no fears.
It wculd be easier and pleasantcr to
win with a united party, but the ex
periences of the Greeley, the Ilart
ranft and the Baily campaigns attest
the hard common sense and unswer
ving fidelity of Pennsylvania Re
publicans, and we will confidently
await the result of the issue in No
vember. Congressman Bltterwoiith, of
Ohio, in a speech made in the House
on Friday last, thoroughly exposed
and riddled the cant of Independent
Civil Service Reformers about re
movals from office without cause.
We are having a tremendous howl
in this State over " Boss Cameron's "
refusing to divide the official patron
age with Mitchell, and making and
unmaking appointments to further
his own personal aim, and now Mr.
Butterworth shows from the official
records that during the ten months
of President Arthurs administration
but five removals have been made
in this State, three of which were for
good cause. A more thorough cx-
insure ofthe cant and snivel of pro-
lcssed reiormers was never maiie.

The most conspicuous case of
false pretenses on record is the ac
tion of the Pennsylvania Democratic
Convention in giving the Democrats
in Congress the credit for a reduc
tion in the internal revenue taxes,
when the bill was introduced by a
Republican member, recommended
by a Republican Secretary of the
Treasury, adopted by the Republi
can majority of the Committee of
Ways and Means against Democrat
ic opposition, reported to the House
by a Republican, indorsed by the
Republican caucus, and passed by
Republican votes with little or no
opposition except from Democratic
sources. Of the eighty votes that
were cast against this bill on its
final passage seventy-one were Dem
ocratic. And yet the next day the
Democratic State Convention of
Pennsylvania asserts that it was
their measure, and was carried by
their efforts and their votes. Inter
Occan. My judgment is that if our Re
publican Stat? Committee use the
honorable means which our last
State Convention asked them to use
to secure an honorable peace if

suit in an honorable and a lasting
peace among the Republicans of the
State. If the Democrats, also, will
resort to like honorable means, they
will bring to the supjoit of their
candidate the great majority of the
men who call themselves Democrats.
And if the Democrats in Philadel
phia can get the five or six thousand
Democrats who don't like Mr. Patti
son to take their places in the ranks
they will have enough to keep them
busy all summer. So with the Re
publicans. If thev can bring all the
disaffected Republicans into the
ranks they will have a pretty large
contract for the summer. In Sep
tember, then, when we can look
along the line and see the familiar
faces in their old places, I .shall be
ready to predict the result. I can
only say now that we'll probably
come out about twenty to forty
thousand ahead. From General Urn

Political, cant would seem to be
epidemic. Just at this writing the
topic on which a large number of
our contemporaries have caught the
prevailing epizootic, or moral snuf
fles, is the assessment question.
The Republican Congressional Com
mittee is a respectable body of Re
publicans gathered from eyery State
in the Union, and organized for the
express purpose of seeing to it that
a Republican member is elected to
Congress from every district in
which it is possible to elect one.
In order to do its work it must have
money. That being the plain, sim
ple, unmistakable fact, the only
question remaining is one of how
Republicans shall be appealed to.
The Congressional Committee steps
in at this point and sends a straight
forward and proper circular to the
Republicans who happen to be office
holders. No sooner is this circular
issued thou every journalistic baby
in the Independent Orphan Asylum
lets go the nozzle of his feeding-bottle
and begins to squawk. One in
fant calls it a summons to ''stand
tnd deliver," and likens it to high
way robber' ; another of these babes
in the woods calls it " blackmail;"

It is the constant cry of these men t
, , . . , . ,
who are endeavoring to destroy the
Republican party that they are not j
fighting the Republican party, they i
are only fighting the " bosses."' Let
no one he deceived by this specious
plea. While they claim to be only
fighting Senator Cameron they are
in reality striking at the very exist
ence of the Republican party, and
they merely try to blind the people
to the real issue. This is not Sena
tor Cameron's fight. It is the fight
ofthe Republican party. That par
ty has nominated a ticket, and de-

xjje steamer Scioto, with about 500
persons on board, collided with the

One of the survivors says the Sci

a full head of steam, and when about
half a mile from. Mingo Junction
the John Lomas was sighted coming
down. - The pilot of the Scioto whis
tled for the channel, but, owing to a
misunderstanding, both boats took
the same side the Lomas striking
she Scioto and sinking her in fifteen
feet of water in three minute trom
the time of collision. The scenes on
the Scioto were heartrending, and
the struggles for life were frightful to
behold. The Lomaa was only slight
ly disabled, and went to work at
once to save those on the unfortu
nate Scioto. This task was rendered
easier by the bright moonlight, and
no doubt many lives were saved
from this reason. It is now believed
that the first reports were exagger
ated, and that the loss of life will
not excetnl twenty persons.

the collision occurred, is in Jefferson

preference of sides, and, as near as I
can judge, it was three minutes be
fore the Sciota answered, but neither
of them appeared to sheer off, and
almost immediately the collision oc
curred. General confusion follow
ed, and I then saw people jumping
from the hurricane deck and all parts
of the steamer. As far as I could
see the Imas struck the Scioto for
ward, for the lire flew over the bow
of the Scioto. The Scioto sunk al
most instantly. and lhe Lomas back
ed up as soon as possible. The Ix
mas ran to the Ohio shore and land
ed her passengers, and then return
ed to the wreck. The crew and ofli
cers of the Lomas then exercised
every effort to rescue the unfortunate
passengers, and succeeded in land
ing over four hundred, making sev
eral trips and continuing to work as
long as any were seen alive. As
soon as I saw theaecident I jumped
into my skill' and started for the
wreck. When I got there I got five
persons, within it distance of twenty
teet, and there were to other skiffs
below me picking them up, but I
don't know how many they got.
There was shouting all over now,
and there appeared to he a great
many persons in the water, but it
was too dark for me to tell the num
ber. I then took the parties I had
rescued to the Ohio side, and by
that time the Ixmas had landed
their party ami returned to the
w reck. I "had just come home from
work when the boat came past, and

hoard, but from what the parties
who had landed told me, there were
from li-0 to 7L)i on the boat. From
the run of the conversation of those
who had been landed, I gathered
that from .jOO to ooO were landed.
Three women were carried ashore
and died after they had Wen rescued.
Two little boys and the assistant
engineer of the Sciote were rescued
and stopped at Cox's. The assistant
engineer told me 1 e thought many
lives must have been lost, as the
lower decks were crowded and the
loat sank instantly. A man and
woman passed within a hundred
yards of my house. He was holding
her up and crying for help, but my
wife saw them sink. The bocne was
terrible, as I saw at least fifty young
ladies who had been brought to
shore who were saved by their es
corts swimming and holding them
up.

ILK. WeaDd welcomed the Gen.

Stalwart candidate said : "Please be
assured that I am heartily glad to
be received by you, irrespective of
party auiiiations. I hope we can
meet always as gentlemen. It will
be a bad day for Pennsylvania when
ever political dinerence separate us
so widely that we cannot meet on
the broad platform as gentlemen. I
met many Democrats here, one of
whom Baid he was not a Reaver man,
and I applauded him. I don't like
men who tie their faith down to
men. It is dangerous to be a Beaver,
a Pattison. a Cameron or a Wallace
man. I hopj the time may never
icome when a candidate has only a
! personal following.
.My remarks apply to the Dem
ocratic as well as to to, the Republi
can party. Whatever differences
may exist in our party, the Demo
crats had btter look to the defection
in their own ranks. I find local
defections wherever I go in both par
ties. "If the Republican committee will
use the honorable means to secure
peace and union, as authorized by
the late Republican State Convention,
and will fully carry those instruc
tions out, whether successful or not
they will lead to an honorable and
successful peace in the party in
Pennsylvania. The Democrats con
cern themselves a great deal about
our diff erence, but they have enough
to occupy their summer hours in J
healing tne ten thousand voters in
Philadelphia w!io are dissatisfied
with Pattison. When the time comes
in the fall I believe that we shall find
ourselves in the same old position,
facing the old enemy, and we will.
