THE HAMMER, AND THE SAW.
There's the music of the birds,
And the music of the bees,
TL.Te's the music of the forests
In the grand old trees ;
Natare's symphony is tweet.
And without a single flaw,
Yet there's nothing like tlte music
Of the hammer and the saw.
Hail to liberty and peace!
Hail to order, Heaven's first law t
And the world's ennobling chorus
Of the hammer and the saw.
Though the little birds may sing.
And the balmy xephyrs blow,
Yet the larder may be empty,
And the wheat crop low ;
But when labor strikes a note.
Then the heart that was in awe,
Dances lightly to the nuiic
Of the hammer and the saw.
Hail lo liberty and peace !
Hail to order, heaven's first law f
And the world's ennobling chorus
Of the hammer and .he saw.
Thp man may not be skilled
Tor the harp or for the lyre,
But have ca null t an inspiration
l rom ambition's noble fire.
"I'll earn my bread and bed,
Though," he cries, "a crust and straw,
While I'm climbing to the music
if the hammer and the saw !"
Hail to liberty and peace!
Hail to order, heaven's first law !

THE TOrtX GIiOVE.
It was almost 11 o'clock as I left
my friend Alport's law office and
hurried up town, I had delayed
longer than I knew, interested deep
ly in hi9 account of an intricate will
case, in which he was just at that
time engaged. As I now remember,
a property of some two millions,
held by a residuary legatee, had sud
denly been claimed by one who an
nounced himself as the direct heir
and devisee, a nephew of the testa
tor, who had not been heard from
for sever." 1 years.
Alport deemed the fellow an im
postor, and although his story had
been well told, and his plan of ac
tion well laid throughout, my friend
thought he had secu? sd proof of its
falsity. In fact, he had a bundle of
papers containing the positive proof
that Neil Ilarcourt was not Neil
ilarcourt, nephew of old Duncan
Ilarcourt, testator; and it was his
explanation of this case that had ren
dered me 60 late on my up town
journey.
As I hurried onward, mechanic
ally my hand sought my pocket for
a cigar, and finding none a most
unusual condition of things I
glanced about for some place where
1 could purchase some.
Just down a side street a light
struck my eye, and moving toward
it, I found a small but neat cigar
store, waited upon by a girl.
I entered, threw down my money,
and called for cigars. The waitress,
or shop girl, was evidently on the
point of closing, for one light was
already out, and she wore her hat
and shawl ; more than that, as she
placed a handful of regalias before
me, I noticed that i-he had also put
on her gloves, and that one, that up
on her left hand, had been partly
torn across the palm, and neatly
mended by the insertion of another
piece of kid.
This trifling incident would doubt
less have escaped me, had it not
been that the glove waa a pale or
ange in color, w hereps the inserted
kid was black.
I selected my cigars, lit one and
walked out. An hour later I was at
home and in bed.
The next morning after, I read at
my breakfast table that Lawyer Al
port had been murdered the night
before.
To say that I was shocked would
be but feeWy to express ray horror.
Alport was a warm personal friend,
my attorney, and a man without
stain.
His death in a most natural way
would have been a sad loss to me ;
to hear of his end by murder simply
paralyzed me.
Leaving the table as soon as I
could collect my thoughts sufficient
ly to do so, I at once threw on my
hat and overcoat and hurried down
town.
M friend's office was in Blank
?treet. a little off from the main cur
rent of travel ; but this morning I
found a number of persons gathered
about it neighbors, storekeepers
and brother lawyers passing whom
I confronted an officer standing
guard at the office door.
He would have stayed my en
trance, but as I handed him my card
his face changed.
"Major Minton, of the detectives?"
he said, inquiringly.
I bowed.
The gentleman at once opened the
door. .
'You'll find Captain Ross and
another gentleman inside. I presume
they 11 be glad to see you.
I entered.
As the policeman had said, I found
two detectives, men whom I knew
within. Their story was sc on mine.
It seemed that Alport had been in
his office late ; that a lady had called
in the evening and remained an
hour or more ; that after she had
left, his light continued to burn a
long time until morning probably
and that it was not until some im
portant client opened the unlocked
door, about 9 a. m that the death of
the attorney was known.
tie lay dead in his office chair,
when found, a thin, foreign looking
knife was sticking in his heart. Evi
dently he had been . struck una
wares ; there had been no struggle,
but little blood, and no robbery that
the officers could discover.
Nor was there any clue remaining.
Evidently the woman had killed
him, though why was as yet unan
swered. No one knew the woman.
'But the reason the motive?'
said I. 'Surely there must have
been one. If we can find that, we
may have a clue to the criminal.
Without it everything is in the
dark.'
True,' replied Ross ; 'bat the mo
tive is just what puzzles us. It evi
dently was not robbery, as his watch
and money were on his person when
found.
set
ESTABLISHED, 1827.
SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY.
'Hold I' Baid I, with a very sudden
thought 'Might not he have been
robbed of papers r
'Yes, but what ones? How do we
know what documents ne had I
A new idea had come to me. 1
becan at once to search for the pa
pers which Alport had read to me
two days before the proofs in the
Ilarcourt case.
They were gone, but I found in
their stead, lying among letters and
legal Titter in his waste basket, a
torn glove, bloodv, ana mended
across the palm with a bit of black
kid.
I drew it out with a Bhout
'He was robbed of some import
ant paper that he showed me only
night before last,' said I, excitedly,
and the person who killed him wore
tins glove!
'A clue !' cried Captain Ross, as he
reached for it
'No, no, my friend,' said I. 'This
is my case now. Alport was my at
torney ; and uow that I have one
end ot the thread in this case, l pro
pose to follow it out. The honor
shall be yours, but the revenge must
be mine. Leave the matter with me
three days. At the end of that time
1 11 either give vcu the criminal or
turn you over all my proofs and give
it up.
Ross at once agreed to this plan,
and my friend's body having been
removedand a coroner's jury having
rendered a decision of "death by the
hands of some party or parties un
known," the case was for three days
in mv sole care.
I naturally felt certain that I had
the right clue the missing papers
and the torn glove but I knew my
business sufficiently well to under
stand that I could neither walk into
the cigar store where my supposed
murderess was and arrest her, nor
waa it at all likely that I could blulF
or frighten her into confession
Moreover, I wished to know first
why she would have cared for the
missing papers.
That afternoon I strolled to the
cigar 6tore. An elderlv German was
behind the counter. In the evening
I tried it again. No girl was to be
seen.
I determined to learn something
of her. I entered and bought some
cigars.
'Keep the store alone?' said I,
casually, as 1 lit my cigar.
'Yaw.'
'Trade good ?'
'Yaw.'
'You ought to have a prettv girl

trade.'
Yaw.'
I turned and walked away. Noth
ing to be made there. --
I watched the store until it closed,
and half the next dav. Then I was
rewarded. At about noon a girl en
tered, laid aside her hat and cloak
and took her place behind the coun
ter, while the man went away.
When he was well out of sight I
dropped in and did a little trading.
It was the same girl, a little ner
vous, I told myself.
I watched her until the store clos
ed ; then followed her as she hur
ried homeward. She lived two miles
away, near the river shore, in a small
old tenement house. She climbed
to a room near the roof. I followed
all the way, stumblingin the uneven
halls, but looked upon, doubtless, as
a new tenant a little off.
The girl entered the room, locked
the door, and then I heard the voice
of two talking. Evidently she was
conversing with a man.
I made friends with a half boozy
bachelor on the floor below, and
found from him that the girl was an
old tenant, but a man had recently
arrived who occupied a room next
to her, and was called her brother.
I waited all night just across the
street from the tenement house.
Early in the dusky dawn I saw
a man steal out. I followed him.
He went straight into the country,
walking fast, and covering nearly
five miles before sun-up. I followed
all the way, not near enough to
cause suspicion, but near eno.igh to
watch.
At lust the fellow turned into a
piece of woods. I hastened, and
just as I entered the grove I saw him
not far away, bending over a little
fire.
As he heard me coming he looked
up hastily, hesitated a moment, then
turned and ran. At first I was im
pelled to follow, then something at
the fire caught my eye, and I paus
ed. Papers were burning. Quickly
seizing the bundle for such it prov
ed to be I managed to extinguish
it, while still a considerable portion
remained unconsumed. I opened
it There were all the papers and
proofs in the Ilarcourt will case
the identical papers stolen from Al
port on the night of this murder.
My heart bounded. It was the third
day, but the scent was very warm
now.
I returned to the city with all
haste, but by another road, and at
noon was at the cigar store. The
girl appeared and the German dis
appeared. Supplied with the torn and bloody
glove I waited my chance, and when
the store was empty I entered. Hav
ing first purchased a cigar, I came
close to the girl and said in a low
tone:
'Is this your glove? I saw you
wearing it a few nights ago,' at the
same time presenting to her the kid,
stained as it was.
The girl turned fairly livid, gasped
a little, then whispered :
'Where did you get it?'
'In the same office where those
papers were stolen and Lawyer Al
port was murdered, three nights
ago !' I said.
The poor thing uttered a single
moan, and would have sunk to the
floor if I had not caught her. A
glass of water stood upon a shelf. I
threw part of it into her face. Slowly
she opened her eyes.
'Who are you?' she whispered
hoarsely.
I opened my coat and showed a
star. She uttered a low shriek.
'A detective 1 He is lost lost I'
'My good girl,' said I, 'it is best
for you, and him, too, to tell me the
whole truth. Shut the shop and
come with me."
She obeyed me unhesitatingly,
and I led her to my own office. There

in the presence of a brother officer,
she told me the whole story.
She was the wife sad fate! of a
gambler who had sought to person
ate the lost heir of the Ilarcourt es
tate. So well had he succeeded that
when Alport began to make trouble
for him he determined to get rid of
Alport and his proof at one blow.
Dressed in his wife's clothes he had
visited Alport's office and killed him,
then stole the desired papers. The
torn glove he had doubtless found
in the pocket of his wife's dress, and
used it to wipe some slight stain
from his hands, and then carelessly
dropped it in the waste basket. The
papers he had taken home, and af
terwards carried away to destroy.
He passed as his wife's brother where
they lived. She had known of the
murder after it was committed but
not before.
'Why did you not tell when you
saw what the man had done?' said
I, sternly. 'Why did you seek to
help him conceal his crime?'
She looked at me a moment with
w ide open eyes, then a great fear
overspread her face.
'Gentlemen, I did not dare to. He
threatened to kill me if I ever spoke
to him of it'
Three hours later Iveonardi Giotti,
the husband, was in our hands. A
full blooded Italian, with an English
wife; a desperado, if ever there was
one : a coward, but a revengeful
dog!
As we led him away from ihe ex
amination, where he refused to an
swer a single question, and his wife
had told her story again as she told
it to me, he asked leave to speak a
word to the woman. It was granted
and he drew near her. But even as
he spoke, he suddenly raised his
manacled hands and struck her such
a blow on the head that the poor
thing sunk to the ground without a
moan, blood streaming from her
face, while the miserable brute turn
ed away with a sneer.
'She'll never blab on me again !'
he said.
Indeed she did not ! He was found
guilty of murder, and hung within
three months, and his poor wife died
within the year, from the effects of
his cruel blow.
Ijook. Ahead.
Tiiere is a prevailing superstition,
almost as old as the world itself, that
looking hack is attended with ill
luck to the traveler. Whether he
pursued his way on foot, on horse
hack or in some private or public
conveyance, his only safety is to look
ahead. The rule holds good, in the
majority of instances, but like every
other, rule, it has its exceptions.
For example, the man who turns
not to the right or left, but fixes his
gaze constantly ahead, may be as
sailed by some enemy on the side
or the rear and be seriously damaged
when he least expects it, and against
whose attacks he has not placed
himself on guard. Men are stabbed
in the side and back, and in more
than one sense of the word, by an
unseen and lurking enemy, when
looking ahead and paying no at
tention to any other line of approach
whatever. To be perfectly safe in
this world we should not only be
lynx-eyed but Argus-eyed, for with
all the" precautions we can use, we
are not free from danger.
Still, as a general thing, it is best
to look ahead. First, because in
traveling we do not pursue our jour
ney backward, but with our faces
forward, and to look ahead is to turn
our attention in the right direction.
If we look back or to the side we
may Jose sight of the objects be
fore us and may come in rude
contact with them in a manner not
only unpleasant but damaging. If
we go back to the time when it is
most probable this superstition orig
inated, we find that when Lot with
his family and cattle was being led
by an angel, outside the doomed
cities of the plain, his wife looked
back and was severely punished for
it And as no one at the present
day, we tike it, has a particular fan
cy for being turned into a pillar oi
salt, we are doubtless on the safe
side when we keep our eyes fixed on
objects in advance of us. We do
not care about quoting heathen au
thority, although in point of wisdom,
the heathen sometimes know about
as much as we do; in Hindoostan,
it is considered exceedingly untor
tunate for either man or woman to
look back when they have once left
their house, lo avoid their doing
so, it is a fixed practice, that when
a man goes out and ieaves something
behind, which his wite knows he
will want, for her to pick up the
article and follow after him with it
And if he chances to look back,
before Bhe overtakes him, he at once
brings his jovrney to an end and
postpones it to another time. The
same feeling and practice still pre
vail in some parts ot England,
Ireland and Scotland and among
certain classes, they have a pretty
strong hold on the American mind.
We are now looking ahead for the
Sabbath that will dawn upon us to
morrow. We will neither turn
back, nor to the right or the left, but
press forward to meet it as a day of
rest It wonld not hurt us any, but
on the contrary, be of great advan
tage. We should not only look
ahead but look far ahead, for it is
only too true that this world we are
bo heavily loaded with our cares
and difficulties that even our Sab
baths onlv slightly redeem us from
our despondency ; and have long
since made up our mind that there
is somewhere in the universe an
economy of the Divine Being, a place
where the burden can be laid down,
and the imperfect, finite rest which
our Sabbath days bring here, will be
succeeded by that which is perfect,
infinite and eternal, and to which
we ought at all times to look ahead.
Colorless and Cold. A young
girl deeply regretted that she was so
colorless and cold. Her face was
too white, and her hands and feet
felt as though the blood did not
circulate. After one bottle of nop

rosiest and healthiest girl in the
town, with a vivacity and cheerful

THE GOLD EX SPIKE.
Completion of the Northern Pacific
Railroad Track. An Important His
torical Work Several Nations Rep
resented at the Driving or the Gold
en Spike Distinguished American
and Foreign Gaesu Preaent at the
Ceremony.
Betwees Garrison ad Gold
Creek, September 8, via Helena,
Montana, Sept 9. It is eight miles
from Helena to the point where the
steep grade of the Rocky Mountains
begins, and twelve miles from there
to the mouth of the Mullen Tunnel.
As the tunnel is not completed, Mul
len Pass i completed by running
in curves at a distance of about four
miles. The grade is the same as at
Bozeman. The sections of the train
bearing the Villard party were safely
lifted over the height, and a descent
was made to this point, where the
ceremony of driving the last spike
in the Northern Pacific Railroad has
just been concluded. The contrast
between the rugged heights of the
east side and the long meadow-like
slopes of the west side is very
striking. The distance from this
point to Helena is 55 miles. In
making the descent of the Mullen
Pass the British Minister's car
became disabled, and the occupants
had to be transferred to another car.
Nobody was huit or inconvenienced.
The train arrived at this point a
little behind time, but in good shape.
From Portland there came some
what earlier a splendid train, bear
ing prominent citizens of that sec
tion to participate in the ceremo
nies. There were hearty greetings
between the American guests of the
east and west and the occasion was
regarded as a remarkable one and
as presaging a prosperous future.
All were surprised at what they be
held. Instead of the wilderness of
the Rocky mountains, they here
beheld a magnificent pavilion, capa
ble of seating more than 1XIO peo
ple, over which floated the national
colors of the American, German and
British nations. In front and reach
ing to the roadbed was an extensive
promenade skirted by a platform
with seats ; to the right was a band
stand, occupied by the Fifth United
States Infantry Band, from Fort
Keogh. When the last of the guests
had arrievd the ceremonies were
opened by President Villard, who
divided the attention of the multi
tude with Gen. Grant, who sat on the
platform.
President Villard opened the for
mal proceedings by an address of
welcome to the distinguished guests
and tendered the profound thanks
of the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company for their presence and
participation in this the most im
portant event in its corporate exis
tence. He briefly reviewed the pro
gress of the undertaking and con
cluded by introducing the orator of
the occasion, Hon. V m. Al. r.varts.
In an elaborate address this gentle
man gave a thorough resume of the
gigantic undertaking and paid well
merited compliments to Mr. Villard,
Governor Smith, ex-President Fred
erick Billings, and others connected
Uviih it. In conclusion, he said : "As
our flying footsteps leave these
heights of moral and natural vision,
I am sure this company will feel
this occasion was not unworthy of
an assemblage which the Secretary
of the Interior honors with his at
tendance, and the illustrious soldier,
after following his own lame around
the world, finds attraction in its in
terests. To vhich the Ministers of
the Powers of Europe lend the favor
of their countenance, and which col
lects so many eminent men of our
own country and of the old world to
assist in this international celebra
tion.'7 Mr. Villard then introduced Sec
retary Teller, who spoke of The great
energy and capital required to com
plete the various transcontinental
lines and their practical benefit to
the nation. This enterprise of the
Northern Pacific Company, along
whose lines there would be in a few
years 9,0UO,()0O of people, could not
be called local in its character. It
was more than national ; it concern
ed the welfare of other peoples. It
now remains for the managers to
justify in the future the wisdom of
the governmeut, and that they
would do if the policy announced
by President Villard were carried
out
Secretary Teller was followed by
ex-President Billings, who presented
in detail the difficulties which had
beset the enterprise in its earlier
days.
Mr. Villard said that as they had
present distinguished guests from
abroad, he would give those present
an opportunity to hear their senti
ments. He then introduced Minis
ter West of England, who said Sir
James Hannen would speak for the
English guests.
Sir James said the English visit
ors were filled with wonder and
admiration at the sights of this
magnificent country and its grand
institutions. Mr. Villard was a per
son about whom their warmest sym
pathies and gratitude for this splen
did hospitality could well cluster.
' We have had the happiness," he
continued, of seeing what manner
of man he is. V e see in him quail
ties which have erned the confidence
of his associates through life, and we
carry back the recollection of having
known a real man. It was a happy
thought that representatives of
countries which have contributed to
the population of the American
nation should be present on this
extraordinary occasion. It fills me
with wonder to see the properity
which has reached the highest de
velopment of civilization." :
The German Minister, Von Eisen
deck"r. was then presented, and
expressed the hearty good wishes of
his countrymen ior mis enterprise.
He said : ' We are sorry to have lost
Mr. Villard, but as he has come to
a country which has always been
closely allied to my own, he may
remain."
Dr. Kneiss, of the Berlin Univer
sity, was then introduced, and spoke
in "behalf of the German visitors, ex
pressing the hope that the Northern
Pacific would be the main line of all
northe.-n colonization of America
and Europe. "May it be forever a

monument in honor of the brave son
of Germany, Henry Villard. Our
mother country is proud of such a
son."
The Governors of Wisconsin, Min
nesota. Dakota, Montana, Oregon
and Washington made brief and ap
propriate remarks. The Governor of
Idaho was absent on account ot ill
ness. There were loud cries for General
Grant, and as he came forward the
air was rent with cheers. He made
a few suitable remarks. He was re
minded by the speeches just made
of the fact that he had something to
do with this great enterprise. When
Governor Stephens, thirty years ago
organized his surveying expedition,
he was a lieutenant, acting as quar
termaster and commissary on the
Columbia, and he issued the sup
plies for the expedition. Was he
not entitled to some of the credit
which Mr. Billings had apportioned
to others? He greatly pleased the
audience, in which were many vet
erans, " who became perfectly wild
when he said these intercolonial
railroads would have amounted to
little but for men who after the war
sought the territories as fields of en
terprise. They made these railroads
possible and prosperous. At the
conclusion of General Grant's speech
three rousing cheers were given. The
foreign guests were then given seats
on a platform, when a photograph
was taken of them, Mr. Villard and
family, and the most di.-tinguished
Americans. After that a horse that
helped to build the road from its
inception was brought upon the
platform. Then was witnessed an
extraordinaiy specticle. Three hun
dred brawny men quickly laid the
iron and drove the spikes on the
thousand feet of uncompleted track
except the last spike. During the
work, which was witnessed by the
foreigners with amazement, the band
played and the people cheered.
When nearly completed a cannon
saluie was fired. The last spike was
driven by H.C. Davis, ariftant gen
eral passenger agent of the road, who
drove the first spike on the opening
of the road, and this spike was the
same one first driven by him. The
end was reached as the sun wan set
ting behind the mountains.
The enthusiam of the audience,
variously estimated at 3 000 to 0,000,
was indescribable. Thus was hi ought
to a happy conclusion a very remark
able event in American history. The
trains were reformed, in which the
guests departed. The English and
part of the Americans went to the
east the rest westward to Puget
Sound.
The Associated Press secured a
special train, which conveyed their
representatives to Helena, where tel
egraphic facilities were obtained.
The ride was exciting, and was made
in very short time, Helena being
reached at 11:30 p. m.. the run from
Last Spike station being made in
three hours, which is quick work,
considering the grades over Mullen
Pass.
Ventilation of Stables.
This is a matter which is too little
considered by many farmers, who
are inclined either to neglect alto
gether the ventilation of their sta
bles, and seem to be as much afraid
of fresh air, remarks an exchange,
as a church Bexton ; or who leave
their stalls exposed from all quar
ters to the pitiless winds or beating
rains though the whole winter.
When cold weather comes many
barricade their stables as closely as
possible against the outer air, and
having by this means secured
warmth, believe they have made
their stock safe and comfortable.
This is a serious error. Cattle and
horses require fresh air as much as
human beings do, and the same evil
results follow in their case as in that
of men and women shut up in a
confined atmosphere which had
been breathed over and over till
changed into a fetid poison. Un
der prolonged exposure to such a
poisonous tir, delicate animals soon
become debilitated and constitu
tional tendencies todiseaeare liable
to be developed which might have
remained latent or have been out
lived under more favorable condi
tions. Even strong, heahhv cattle
lose vitality in a close, unventilated
stable. It is the part of economy,
therefore, to provide suitable
ventilation for the stables
and in doing so it should
be remembered that not only the
consumption of air by the confined
animals equal to about 4,001) gal
lons for a full grown beast during
every 24 hours but the exhalations
from their excrement must be tiken
into the account Nor must it be
forgotten that while an abundance
of fresh air is essential to health,
warmth is equally so. The problem
is to secure thorough ventilation
without unduly lowering the tem
perature. Especioally should
draughts about the feet, as trough
cracks in the floor communicating
with the outer air. be carefully guar
ded against All this involves ex
pense; but the outlay for healthy
winter quarters for live stock is soon
recovered. The food given does its
work better more rapidly and in
better condition, and so sell for a
higher price at less cost for produc
tion ; work animals are stronger
and more enduring ; and hence do
better service on the expenditure for
food and care and the loss from di
sease, as carefully conducted experi
ments prove, is very greatly reduced.
The stable need not be a palace ; be
its arrangements for securing warmth
and fresh air should be as complete
in their degree, as those of a house
for human habitation a good deal
more complete, indeed, than most
people seem to think essential.,

Roscoe Conkling is a grandfather-
Obey the Constitution.
It has been the plan of Democrat
ic leaders ever since the days of
Pierce and Buchanan, to appeal to
the constitution in support of any
position taken by them while oppos
ing the advances of the Republicans
and to cite the same instrument in
justification of any partisan object in
contemplation.
When the Republicans watned to
prevent slavery's extension, these
Democratic leaders stood aghast and
Erotested that slavery was protected
y the constitution." When exten
sion was prohibited and civil rights
sought by the Republicans, the Dem
ocratic leaders scanned anew the
constitulion and quoted it against
equality before the law; when the
Republicans sought to reconstruct
the government after the rebellion,
the same Democratic leaders with
ponderous emphasis quoted the
constitution to show that the Union
could only be restored as the south
wanted it, jnst as a few years before
they had incontestably shown from
the same constitution, that secession
could not be prevented by coercioru
And when manhood suffrage was
finally proposed the same old Dem
ocratic leaders threatened to rebel
again in defense of the constitution
al right of the white man to do all of
the governing.
Whenever a great wrong is to be
justified or promoted, the Democrat
ic leaders simultaneously get out
their constitutions, and with these
go through the forms of deceiving
their own followers, and then seek to
befuddle the ill-informed every
where. They hope to catch with
sound where sense caunot apply. If
they were Chinamen they would
carry their measures through the
j noise of their tom-toms. The plan
works reasonably well with the most
ignorant of the Americans for a
short time, but once let the noise
attract universal attention, and that
thought follows which inevitably
destroys Democratic calculations.
Governor Patlison knew, or ought
to have known, that he was doing
an imprudent, harsh and oppressive
act, when after live months of failure
in regular session, he called on ex
traordinary session with a view to
compel the passage of apportion
ment bills. No other Governor, al
though there have beer, repeated
lapses, ever before called an extra
session for such a purpose, though
the language of ihe constitution
since 16'i.S has been the same, to
wit : " the Legislature shall, imme
diately following each decennial
census, apportion the state;" and
"the districts shall be composed of
I compact and contiguous territory, as
j nearly nual in population as may
'Hiis dirt-etinn to the Legislature
(and it should be marked that it is
rot to hf Governor) has by all
courts bw. construed to mean that
it vtay apportion, and that it should
piMrtifi where possible. But
granting that the shall'in imperative,
that it is a command even above
the conscience of individual Mem
bers and Senators, then the o'.hiT
cmmthd, that "the di-tricts shall
W of compact and contiguous terri
tory, as nearly equal in population
las may be, is equally impera
tive.
Now then, the Republicans have
thrown away their doubts and obey
ed the Governor's view of the con
stitution by meeting in extra session
and they have done more they
have obeyed its second command as
to the formation of districts, and
have passed bills in exact accord
with the letter and spirit of the con
stitution. In fact they have passed
hills in such exact accord with the
language of the constitution that if a
million others were drawn, not one
could approach so nearly its mean
ing. This is admitted by all who
have examined the subject. The
Republicans have sought only the
Right, and the fiiyht as directed by
the Constitution, and there they
stand, refusing to yield, and at the
same time putting to the test Demo
cratic professions of love for the con
stitution, by inviting them t accept
juat what the constitution com
mands. The Democrats have not accepted,
but instead have shifted from day to
day, and in all ways sought to shirk
that obedience to the constitution
which they at first invited. Their
methods of shirking have been so
costly that the state has already
been mulcted in expenses far exceed
ing a quarter of a million dollars,
with a prospect ahead of paying at
least double salaries to the men
guilty of a most useless and criminal
prolongation of the session.
The Democratic demand briefly
and truth iVjly stated, is for a divis
ion of political power based upon
i their bvl vote. The constitution
and the law Kay that this shall not
be, but that tlie apportionment shall
he based ujon jHjpulation and con
tiguity and compactness of territory.
This is the position taken by the
! Republicans. They have thought
of no other position, and win con
cede no other. They said so hon
estly and openly from the beginning
and from tlie beginning have asked
the Democrats either to come up to
the support of the constitutional
idea or adjourn, and save a waste of
public moneys. Over and over
again the Senate has passed resolu
tions providing for final adjourn
ment and all of them have been
buried by the Democratic House,
so that, in the estimation of all fair
minds, the Democratic party of
Pennsylvania stands condemned
first, for falsely invoking the con
stitution to promote only partisan
ends ; second, for refusing to respect
the mandates of that constitution as
to the character of the apportion
ments to be made ; third, for a wil
ful and woful waste of the money
of the tax-payers of the State. Me

The Germans of Iowa are starting
a movement to oppose the woman's
suffrage agitation. They say that if
women obtained the right to vote
they would be under the influence
of the clergy, and would take an ex
treme position in relation to beer
and wine drinking and the observ
ance of Sunday. It would be impos
sible to reason with them in favor of
moderate and reasonable temper
ance and Sunday laws, and their
votes would establish total prohibi

formerly enforced in Connecticut.
