WED1ESDAT. .December 24, ISS.
The Legislature will convene on
the first Tuesday of January which
this year falls on the 6th.
The census work of 1SS0 is not
yet completed, although nearly four
years has been spent upon it.
What a wailing there will be
over empty Democratic 6tockings,
after Grover Santa Claus has distrib
uted his Christmas gifts.
Sixty per cent, of the Connellsville
coke ovens are closed. This fact
shows the dreary condition of man
ofacturing indastries at the present
time.
Mr. Cleveland having announc
ed that he is "not much of a chop
per", a smart shoemaker in Virginia
has sent him a pair of boots, hoping
perhaps that he may be a "good
strong kicker."
Pennsylvania is going to send her
entire force of National guards, to
take part in the ceremony of Cover
nor Cleveland's inauguration. She
will thus show that she "don't keep
spite," if she did poll 81,000 major!
ty against him.
'Ve don't want offices, just let us
dictate who shall fill them," appears
to be the modest demand of the
bolters who elected Cleveland. Like
the boy with the supple-jack, they
want the President to dance when
they pull the string.
The New York Tribune has be
come so radically Republican that it
now opposes any participancy in
the primaries on the part of the
mugwumps who voted for Cleveland.
It defines an Independent Republi
can as "a Republican who cannot be
dtended upon."
A memorial from the Women's
Suffrage Association of Pennsylvan
ia was presented in the Senate lasi
week, protesting n gainst the admis
sion of Dakota us a State while it
denied suffrage to women. Look
out for a "crowing hen" on the po
litical banners of 1SS8.
Whks the "boys" marched down
the streets of Washington for the
grand review after the close of the
war, how many of them thought
that within twenty years, the rebel
Brigadiers whom they had just con
quered, would be on top again, and
in control of the government they
had attempted to destroy ?
The Brooklyn Asylum fire turns
out to be a more horrible affair than
was at first apprehended. The re
maies of twenty children have been
recovered from the ruins. Twenty
others are still unaccounted for, but
it is hoped that they will be found
at the homes of kind people who
gave them shelter when driven out
by the fire.
Ex-Governor "Andy" Curtin say?:
"The people have declared at the
polls that there must be a change of
Government, and you cannot change
the government unless you change
the agencies." "Andy" is now a
leading Democratic Congressman,
and this is his way of announcing
the old doctrine "To the victors be
long the spoils."
The bill admitting Dakota as a
State passed the Senate last week by
a strict party vote, every Democrat
in that body voting against it. Hav
ing been made a political question
it will undoubtedly be defeated in
the House. Dakota is too strongly
Republican to hope for admission so
long as the Democrats control legis
lation at Washington.
It is a pity some of Mr. Blaine's
alleged friends do not have on some
points, as much good sense as Lim-t-tlt.
In a recent conversation he
declared that to persist in naming
him or any one else for the candi
dacy of 18S8 only keeps alive fac
tional dissensions. That is good
sense and ought to clote the mouths
of some noisy demagogues. Lancas

Friday last, was the coldest day
of the year, and the coldest experi
enced in the West and South for
several years. At points in Minne
sota and Dakota the mercury fell to
23 below zero. At Petersburg, Va.,
it registered 13 above xero, the
coldest weather known there within
the past ten jears. Travel on the
railroads throughout the country
was much delaved.
Preparations for the inauguration
of Mr. Cleveland are being vigorous
ly pushed forward, and there i ev
ery indication that Democratic zeal
will be exhausted in the effort to
make it a perfect carnival. It in but
natural, after such a protracted sea
eon of adversitv, that the Democrats
should make the most of their acci
dental victory. It may be a long
time before they have a chance for
another jubilee ; therefore, let them
dance while the sunshine lasts.
The mossbacks and the kids of
the Democracy are having a picnic
time over the selection of Cleveland's
cabinet. "Old men for council,
young men for war," is an apo-
thegm weet to the ears of the an
cients, while the youngsters insist
that those who bore the heat and! Harrisbcrg, December 17.-Un-burthen
of the day are entitled to I der instructions from Adiustant
the spoils of victory. The fun has :
just begun, and will increase with the
efforts of Mr. Cleveland to nu-i an !
unlimited demand, with a limited
supply of offices.
During the past two weeks the
Republican clubs of New York and
Brooklyn have by an almost unani
mous vote expelled the professed
Republicans who assisted to elect
Cleveland. If Ihey had taken this
measure to purify the party two
years eince, when these same inde
pendents" bolted Folger's nomina
tion for Governor, the result at the
late election might have been differ
ent. Mr. Blaine has discontinued his
libel suit against the Indianapolis
Sentinel, and that eweet scented
Journal, seizes the opportunity to
charge him with being guilty of
monumental lying in every stage of
the prosecution. It was a mistake
on the part of Mr. Blaine to notice
the assault of the Sentinel. Its bru
tal abuse could not have injured him
in public estimation, and it would
have been passed over in silence,ex
cept by the depraved portion of the
press. He should have remember
ed that "you cannot touch pitch and
remain undefiled." The public will
be glad to know that the case will
not be further prosecuted.
The Irish World says : If every
member of the Cabinet were an Irisb-
American, they would not bring
back the Irish-Americans whoin the
last election made up their minds,
that they had supported the pro
British policy of free trade long
enough. It is an insult to the in
telligence of any Irish-American
who knows what the Democratic
pro-British policy of free-trade
means, to suppose that he is going to
support a party that is opposed to
protection,simply because a man of
bis race is appointed to a Cabinet
position. Mr. Cleveland s aavisers
ought to see this. If they do not
see it, they 6how how little respect
they have for those they are trying
to conciliate.
Senator Cooper, Chairman of the
Republican State Committee says
editorially in his paper (Media Amer
iean) ; "It ia remarkable what anx-ii-ty
Democratic editors are show
ing that the Republicans should re
ceive back into full communion the
apostate mugwumps, fcc, who help
ed to give Cleveland the victory.
Are they so soon tired ot their new
allies? It would look better if they
would try to keep this new accession
in the Democratic party. We don't
remember of ever having read that
Benedict Arnold was welcomed with
8ny degree of enthusiasm into Brit
ish circles after he had turned trai
tor to his country, and it is certain
he was never afterward asked to re
join the American army. Treason
is something that the natural man
doesn't admire.
The "World's Exposition at New
Orleans was opened on Tuesday of
last week by the President
from
a room in the White House at Wash
ington. The machinery in the ex
position was connected with the
White House by an electric wire :
the address of the Director General
was telegraphed the President and
his reply returned by lightning, and
then the President by simply press
ing a button, set the immense ma
chinery hundreds of miles away
in motion. The President was sur
rounded by a brilliant assemblage
including Foreign Ministers, mem
bers of the cabinet and of Congress,
and other distinguished persons,and
many ladies. An immense throng
cf people filled the exposition build,
iog while the opening ceremonies
were in progress.
Havisg assisted to the best of
its
ability to place the Democrats in
power in this State, the Philadelphia
Pres is now laboring to get up an
other bolt in the party, to prevent
the re election of Senator Cameron.
It is dbservable, however, that not a
single respectable Republican jour
nal in the State sympathizes with
the Pre in its efforts to get up an
other kick. People whose sense
outranks that of an idiot, don't mon
key with a buzz saw the second time.
There is ninety-five Republican ma
jority in the Legislature, and there
is no probability that any number
of members will refuse to enter the
caucus. In caucus,there will doubt
less be several gentlemea voted for
as candidates for Senator, and the
choice of the majority will be abided,
by. If this be so, judging by the
expression of the Republican press
throughout the State, we think Mr.
Cameron will be chosen to succeed
himself.
All this talk about Mr. Cleveland
favoring civil service reform is mere
rot. The men who won the victory
for him did not fight the battle for
the sole honor of winning. The
public patronage will be used for all
it is worth, and the Democratic
leaders will entrench themselves in
their position by every means in
their power. Let nobody forget
that. No party evT succeeded to
power that did not straightway use
every means to hold its new posi
tion. Talk about continuing civil
service reform is simply intended as
a blind. The "boys" know better,
and they who live to see the expira
tion of the year 18S5 will find a
nearly unbroken line of Democrats
filling all the places under the
government, from President down to
the smallest village postmaster.
Talk is cheap, but the fruits of vic
tory are not going to be frittered away
by a party whose appetite is shar
pened by a fast of twenty -four years,
and whose axiom is, "To the victors
belong the 6 polls."

WASHINGTON liKTTKU.
From Our Regular Corrapondrnl.
Washington, Dec. 20, 1884.
The third week in Congress has
been the busiest and mo6t interest
ing of the present session. The
Senate first said, by a majority of
ten, that Dakota should be received
into the Union of States; then they
listened to some speeches on the
silver question from Senators Beck
and Sherman; discussed naval ap
propriations; touched on Indian
land leases; gave hurried attention
to a number of minor matters, read
and refered new bills, and held se
cret sessions over the Spanish treaty,
-MK ia l.ofnrft it for ratification. It
is most likely the public will have
an opportunity to hear this bill dis
cussed. Senator Van Wyck has
asked that the Senate throw open its
doors and refrain from the solemn
farce of Executive Sessions oyer
Commercial treaties, about which
the whole country is interested and
informed, and his request is being
considered by the Committee on
Foreign Relations.
Senator Beck, in his silver speech,
indicated what the incoming ad
ministration would do, when, aa he
said, the enemies of the Silver bill
were out of the way. In reply,
Senator Sherman told him, if Mr.
Bavard should be the next Secre
ary of the Treasury, he would have
no less trouble in solving this ques
tion than others had found.
During a part of each daily ses
sion since Congress opened, the
House of Representatives has been
discussing the Inter-State Com
merce bill. Members have differed
as to the details of the bill, but it
was just about to be passed, when
In n color line dilemma arose.
Dismay was depicted on the face of
every Democrat in tne nouse wu-n
a colored Congressman fiom the old
North State moved an amendmnt
providing for the freedom of the
cars to negroes who have paid their
fare. A bitter debate has followed
and the Democrats have held sever
al conferences without deciding how
to escape unless they place the De
mocracy on record against their re
cent declarations in favor of equal
rights.
Mr. O'Hara insisted that while
dumb brutes were protected in tran
sit and every other interest shielded,
it was time to protect the rights of
the colored citizen. He disavowed
the allegation that his motion had
been made for a political purpose.
He said he did not care to raise a
political issue two years before a
campaign began, out he thought
that while public sentiment and
the healthy influences of the nine
teenth century stared us in the face,
it was too late fur the American
Congress to legislate on the color
question. Amid applause on the
Republican side of the chamber, he
closed his sneecli bv saying: "Wheth
er a man was white or black, hum
ble or exalted, plebeian or aristocrat,
if he Davs his fare and decently
behaves himself, he i9 entitled to the
rights that hit, money and desire
prompt." The bill will probably pass,
but so loaded with amendments as
to need much revision in the Sen
ate. The House approved the bill for
a Department of Agriculture, and
when it becomes a law, the Com-
missioncr ot Agriculture win oe a
Cabinet Umcer, ana win oe caneu
the Secretary of Agriculture.
The silence of the funny men in
Congress this session, has caused
remark. None of them take the
trouble to fulfill the duties
imposed by their talents and raise
& lauuh. Mr. Ochiltree, though he
miles at grief, says nothing. Even
Belford. the irrepressible, became
solemn after his defeat, and has
never smiled again. The House
has missed his red locks, and the
jack-in-the-box agility with which
he was wont to bob up last session
and demand that the Treasury
vaults be opened and the surplus
revenue be poured out to a suffer-
in? neonle. Nor has Mr. Cox. of
New York, made his usual labored
effort to be funny.
Still there are other kiuds of
fame, and Representative Culhert
son, of Texas, has distinguished
himself as a man of candor. He is
the only Member of the House who
lias acknowledged that he is depend
ent on the art of the toilette for his
beauty. The other day, a gentle
man introduced to him, expressed
surprise at his youthful appearance.
"Oh, I look younger than I am,"
said he ''because I dye my hair and
beard."
Cure fur Files.
Piles are frequently preceded by
a sense of weight in the back, loins
and lower part of the abdomen, caus
ing the patient to suppose he has
some affection of the kidneys or
neighboring organs. At times,
svniptons of indigestion are present,
as flatulency, uneasiness of the stom
ach, ect. A moisture, like perspira
tion, producing a verv disagreeable
itching, after getting warm, is a com
mon attendant. Blind, Bleeding and

A Kainjr Day at (he Exposition.
New Orleans, December 17. It
has been raining steadily since day
light, the down pour at times being
very heavy. Notwithstanding this
fact there is quite a number of visi
tors at the Exposition, but not
enaugh to interfere with the thous
ands of buy workers, who are get

Banding Together Against Buzzards.
Lancaster, December 16. A
number of the leading citizens of
Columbia and vicinity have organ
ized themselves into an association
for protection against the Buzzard
gang and other thieving bands, the
charter setting forth their object te
be "to mutually indemnify ourselves
and our associates against loss by
theft of our live stock and chattels."
Those desiring such protection
must pay a fee to these vigilantes,
and hence the charter. The officers

THE 8ENATOKS13IP.
HOW CAMERON WON I A. FAnt AND
SQUARE APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.
Washington. Dec. 18. The anti
Cameron revolt is mostly on paper,
unless representative Republicans
from many parts of Pennsylvania
are mistaken. Their explanation is
that it proceeds from Mr. Wells, of
Pittsburg, who bought the Phila
delphia Press as the first step to
ward securing for himself Cameron's
seat. The election is over, with
Wells in possession of the paper
and Cameron in possession of the
Legislature.
The alleged revolt started in, and
is almost entirely confined to, Mr.
Wells' own citv. Pittsburg. The fact
remains that the Allegheny delega
tion, with poss'bly one exception, is
solid for Cameron and is not to be
shaken.
It is charged that Cameron took
care of himself whiie every one else
was occupied in carrying thebtate
for Blaine. Blaine might be talten
for a witness whether Cameron s
support was not as cordial and effic
ient as any man s, and whether me
81,000 majority was not largely due
to his exertions.
The ninety odd majority in the
Legislature is in proportion to the
popular vote, and the preponderance
f that majority for Cameron is due
to the fact that his opponents could
not prevent it Take, for instance,
Lancaster county, where the nomi
nations are made by popular vote,
and where there was neither buying
nof packing, every Republican vot
ing a secret ballot. Cameron had
there two to one of the Republi
cans. Take again Chester county.
Of the 150 delegates in the conven
tion, Camerwn candidates had 100.
These are what are called "anti-
Cameron" counties, and where, if
anywhere, his enemies could expect
to make headwav. In Bradford, of
the 112 delegates in the convention,
Cameron had 100. In his own
county, where he is best known,
the Republicans gave him their all
as a voluntary offering. Lebanon
and Schuylkill took similar action.
There was neither buying nor sell
ing, but a fair and square appeal to
the peoole, with a result favorable
to Cameron even beyond the expec
tations of his supporters.
Murdered by a Masked Robber.
Cleveland, December 10. At 8
o'clock last evening a farmer named
Harrington, living two miles from
Oeneva. was called to the door by a
knock, and upon opening it he was
couironteu ov a masked man. wno
sighted along the barrel of a revol
ver and said : "I want your money.'
Harnng took a small sum from his
pocket and handed it to the robber
who took it and exclaimed :"I want
the balance." At that moment the
mask fell from his face, and Mrs
Harrington, who was standing near
cried out : "Oh, I know him r " i ou
do, do you ?" shouted the ruffian,
"take th at, then," and he fired at her
the bullet going through her shoul
der. Mrs. Harrington ran out of the
house and to a neighbor's for
help. Returning with friends the
evidences of a desperate struggle
were found in the house. Harring
ton lay dead on the floor with a bul
let in his forehead. Mrs. Harring
ton recognized the murderer as a fel
low named Peck, who lived two
miles from the farm. Lewis Web
ster has been arrested on the charge
of murdering Harrington. He was
the man recognized by Mrs. Harring
ton, but whose na:ns was first given
as Peck. He was quietly taken in
a sleigh by the Sheriff to Jefferson,
in order to avoid lynching.
The Revolution in Corea,
London, Dec. 15. The Times'
Hong Korg dispatch says : "It is re
ported from Nagasaki that the Core
ans have rebelled, that the King has
fled to the hills, and that his general
was killed. The outbreak occurred
during an entertainment given by
the King to the British Minister and
others.
"On a given signal the King's son
and six Ministers were massacred.
The Queen also disappeared. A
collision occurred between the Chi
nese troops and Japanese. The
King placed himself under the pro
tection of the Japanese.
"The foreign residents of Corea
are Bafe. The gunboat Espoir has
arrived in the Seoul river. The mo
tives of the rebellion are unknown.
The results are certain to be of inte
rest to several Powers."
A Farmer and Drover Fighting.
Reading, December 15. Rein
holdville, Lancaster county, just
across the line from Berks, was the
scene of a quarrel between neigh
bors to-day, which may be attended
with very serious results. The par
ties are Benjamin Wenrich, a dro
ver, and Benias Arendle, a farmer.
Wenrich punished Brendle'sson for
playfully hitting him with a strap.
Brendle visited Wenrich for the pur
pose of resenting this. It is not
known who struck tte first blow,
but Wenrich was badly used. He
was hit on the head and his skull
partially laid open. He is now ly
ing in a critical condition. No ar
rests have been made.

New York, December 18. Short
ly after 4 o'clock this afternoon a fire
broke out in the drying roon -if the
Catholic Male Orphan Ay)it., cor
ner of St. Mark's and Albany Aven
i ues. Brooklvn. The building where
in the fire originated contained the
boilers and heating aparatun, with a
dormitory on the third floor, in
which there were sixty orphans suf
fering from various complaints.
Whether or not tbey all -escaped
cannot be told until a roll call is
had. The opinion obtained to-night
that some were lost.
Sister Mary Josephine, -who was
in the dormitory at the time the
I fire broke out, made heroic efforts to
save the little ones, she remained
in tne room until absolutely driven
out by the flames.
Then she ran to a window, where
she stood upon a cornice, until
Foreman McGroarty, of Engine No.
14, from the roof of the building
swung his coat to tur. The sister
caught the coat, but when McGro
aity tried to pull her from her per
ilous position she lust her grasp and
fell headlong to the ground. She
struck upon her shoulder and head,
and ws conveyed to St. Catherine's
Hospital in an unconscious condi
tion. Joseph Ryan, a boy, tried to de
scend by a ladder from the same
floor (the third), got within eight
feet of the ground when the ladder
parted, and he received severe inju
ries. John McGrath, 8 years old, jump
ed from the third story and was
badly injured.
Mother De Chantel and Sister An
thony were in the office when the
fire was discovered. They at once
gave the alarm and proceeded to get
tne children out ot the buildin
There were 78-3 orphans in the build
ing, which is also known as St.
Uohu s Home. They were told to
leave the home and seek shelter in
any neighboring house, until they
were called for. There was great ex
citement among the inmates, but it
is believed ali escaped except possi
bly some of those who were in the
dormitory wing. Hundreds of the
little fellows ran out into the falling
snow hatless and coatless. The
flames spread with great rapidity,
and the buildings were almost com
pletely destroyed.
There was about thirty sisters in
the asylum, and a number of them
went out with the boys, but it was
impossible to keep the little fellows
together. They sought refuge in car
stables, dwellings, saloons and stores
near by.
John Watfield, a grocer, and
George Irish placed a ladder against
a second story window on Albany
Avenue, and Irish handed dowu
even bovs, when the crowd called
to him to come down on account of
the proximity of the flames, which
were burning out of the windows
just beneath him. Patrick Cahill
says he is confident he saw a wom
an fall back from the- window into
the smoke. He also believes all the
boys did not get out, though all ex
cept those in the boiler wing escap
ed without trouble.
One ot the boys in the asylum
said that the fire was caused by an
other boy who went into the drying
room with a lighted candle. There
were some clothes drying on a rack,
and he accidentally touched them
with the candle flame. The flame,
he said, leaped up in a moment, and
all who were in tne room ran out.
At a late hour to-night Sister Mary
Josephine died of her injuries. The
confusion among the children at
midnight was so great that the au
thorities cannot say whether any
lives were lost Fireman George
Matthews, of Truck No. 3, was seri
ously injured, and another fireman
was badly burned after being knock
ed from a ladder.
Later A telephone message from
St. John's Orphan Asylum at 11:30
o'clock, says that 17 bodies in all
have been recovered. The telephone
is working badly and it is difficult to
get reliable information, One of
the bodies recoyered was that of a
lady visiting the asylum at the time
of the fire. The cold weather makes
it difficult to work amoug the
debris.
A Fight Willi Moonshiners.
Atlanta, Dec. 18 In a remote
Dart of Hall county at midnight
last night a desperate fight occurred
betwen Deputy Marshals and two
moonshiners. Anderson Grant and
a man named Prater, both moon
shiners being killed. The raiding
party, consisting of five men. head
ed bv Deputy Marshal Gaston,
were making for Grant's illicit dis
tillery, but were intercepted by the
moonshiners, who seized the teams
the raiders had left by the roadside.
Shots were exchanged and the fu-
silade was kept up for several hours,
The revenue men were reinforced
by people from Gaiuesvilie, and at
midnight the random firing resulted
in the killing of the moonsoiners.
Two members of the revenue party
were badly beaten; another had his
hat shot through, und a fourth had
a mule shot from under him.
The Danger of Haalng.
Easton, Dec. 18. A story has
leaked out at Lafayette College
which shows the danger of hazing
freshmen. Two upper classmen at
the dead of night entered a fresh
man's room, masked and carrying
dark lanterns. His roommate, who
was in the joke, shouted murder,
and the freshman in the excitement
consequent upon being aroused
from sleep, grasped his revolver and
fired. It was loaded with powder
and wad and the latter struck one
of the hazers in the i.eck. Had the
pistol contained ball it would have
killed the baaer.

Crime ef a Child.
Rpnceverte, W. Va., Dec. 18.
Several days ago a brief dispatch
stated that John Maasey, aged 12
years, had shot and killed bin cous
in, a girl of 7. Particulars were
wanting, but investigation has dis
covered the following facts: On the
south side of Greenbrier River in a
miserable hut having but one room,
lived Andrew Massey, who is regard
ed as a dangerous character, his son
John, and his niece above mention
ed. The family ate and slept to

the girl lying dead in the bed, cover-
eel with blood, and the boy missing
Later in the day he went to Squire
Jackson's, where he remained over
night, and next morning he toid
Mr. Jackson of his discovery.
Meantime the boy had turned up in
town, and was preparing to leave
the pluce when he was arrested.
Squire Jackson impaneled a jury
and visited the hovel. It was found
on examination that the body was
pierced by two bullets, both having
entered the shoulder. On being
questioned the boy admitted that
he had killed his cousin, tut said
it was an accident On the strength
of the boy's story a verdict f acci
dental killing was rendered. The
fact that there were two bullet holes
now indicates that it was a case of
murder, and the charge of theft in
order to put him in a reformatory.
