1 I rm o l TTM I Qe bOmerSet iieraiO. ID WARD BCtJLL, Editor and Proprietor. WEDNESDAY. .APBO. 1, 1886. The appointment of Sunset. Cox, is a tub thrown to the lam many whale. This must be a Democratic win ter, it hangs on with each perti nacity. The mistress of the White House Miss Cleveland is a member of the W. C.T.U. Democratic journalists just now, typify T-tier.ce on a monument smiling at griel.w A great many Democratic expec tants feel just now, as thongh life were not worth living. The mugwumps are getting just what they bargained for Demo cratic government, nothing else. He. S. S. Cox ("Sunset") of New York, has been appointed Minister tc Turkey. He now knows "why we laugh." Reports from Washington say that Miss Cleveland and Mrs. Hoyt, sisters of the President, are Republi cans in sentiment. The friends of Governor Pattison are announcing that he will veto the Congressional Apportionment bill that passed the Senate last week. Hkiao, Cleveland r HeBo! Did you hear those Baltimore people say that Higgins was a heeler and a ballotrboxstuffer? Speak up loud er! Texas has to-day the largest school fund in proportion to its population, of any State in the Union. It amounts in round numbers to f 100, (KJ0.000. The people of Ohio will, at the next election, vote on an amend ment to their Constitution, chang ing the time of their State election from October to November. Is the Illinois Legislature on Monday last, General Logan receiv ed 101 votes, thus coming within one vote ot an election. "A miss is as good as a mile," however. The commission of Pearson, the Postmaster at New York, expired on Saturday last, and the Demo crats are holding their breath to hear what remarks Mr. Cleveland will make. The Democrats are asking each other "what are we here for ?" since Cleveland handed the best foreign appointment in his gift to a Ver monter, whose State gave him only 17,331 votes. Some of the boys have figured it down fine, and assert that, at the present rate of making appoint ments, one fourth of the Republican rascals will not be turned out before Cleveland's term expires. Auditor General Niles calls the attention of legislators to the fact that the liberal appropriations they are voting for charitable and other purposes, will bankrupt tne Treas ury, unless they soon call a halt The Harrisburg Patriot is thank ful for small favors. With a sigh of relief it calls public attention to the fact, that up to the present time President Cleveland has appointed no man who is not a Democrat Jacob Thompson, who was Sec retary of the Interior under Bu chanan, and deserted his post at the outbreak of the war, carrying ofl with him all the public funds he could grab, died at Memphis, Tenn., on Tuesday last So far, the President has display ed pretty good judgment in his ap pointments to positions for which but few men are well equipped. But wait until the Senate adjourns and the scramble becics for the smaller offices, Whew ! The Democrats of Allen town went to the trouble of holding an election to indicate their choice for postmaster, but the President coolly ignored their wishes and appointed his own man, thus proving that elections do not alwavs elect President Cleveland is moving slowly, far too slowly to please the mass of his hungry partif an: but the appointments he has made up to date, are exceedingly creditable ones. He is laboriously culling the best material he has od hand. The St Louis Globe-Democrat says : We do not know how Dem ocrats in other parts of the country feel just now, but in this State we think they u ouii like to SCO Mr. Cleveland t?vI on a banana peel or try oa a pair of roller skates. It appears that Viee President Hendricks has some little influence with this administration, as he has succeeded in having bis nan ap pointed postmaster in Indianapolis, after a furious struggle with the Congressman from that district Evidence has oeen furnished Secretary Manning ttat Higgins, the Baltimore heeler, to srkojn he gave the position of appointment clerk in the Treasury, is a ballot box stuffier, and has admitted the (fact Will he "turn the rascal out?" Thc opinion is rapidly growing and strengthing that war between England and .Russia is inevitable. Active preparations , are making throughout England, vessels are be ing fitted out, arms and stores are '.being chipped to central Asia, theitaken prisoners. It is further , , wu and the militia IserUd that the rebels art tryini Feat of the trouble, and the militia and the reserves have been called out by the Queen- Dispatches from SL Petersburg show a similar state of military and naval activity in Russia. The recently appointed postmas ter at West Chester committed sui- jcide a few days after getting the of fices, and yet notwithstanding this warning, there are hundreds of his fellow Democrats ready to do the same thing because they can't get offices. What with a war in Soudan with the Arabs, another with Russia on the Asiatic frontier and a formida ble rebellion in his Canadian pos sessions, our cousin John Bull has a lively summer's work cut out for him, that will tax not only his pluck, but all of his resources. This country is likely to reap large benefits from England's war troubles. Already the orders to our manufacturers for cartridges, and our packers for canned beef amount to fully fifteen millions of dollars, and the Western dealers in wheat hnr commenced advancing the prices, in anticipation of an un usually large demand. Representative McDonald, of Philadelphia, has introduced a bill into the House providing for the regulation of skating rinks and pre venting the intermingling of sexes. Next thing some fool will want to regulate singing schools and apple butter boilings by law, and prevent the boys and girls from jointly en joying those demoralizing gather ings. It is announced with a flourish of Democratic trumpets that Attor ney General Garland is going to largely retrench the expenses of his department, by dispensing with assistant District Attorneys all over the country. What 6tuffand non sense ! How will government cases be tried without attorneys? Just as well abolish the courts and give the rascals free swing. A matter of some interest to the people of this county was de cided by the Supreme court a few days since, in a caEe that went up from Lackawana County involving the taxation of unmined coal, apart from the land under which it lies. The court holds that the coal is part of the land, and that if the owner ship of the two is in different parties the seperate interest of each owner may be taxed separate. The President has commenced making nominations of Postmasters to fill vacancies. It is semi-official-ly announced at Washington that, all postmasters now in commission will be permitted to serve out their terms, but will then be succeeded by Democrats. Where the present in cumbents have made partisan use of their offices, or have not been courteous, polite, and attentive to their duties, they will be bounced. Governor Pattison has appoint ed Thursday the 16th day of April to be observed throughout the State as Arbor day ; and in his proclama tion says. "I recommend the peo ple of the Commonwealth do ou that day, plant trees along the streets, by the road sides, in parks and com mons, around public buildings and in waste places ; that they distrib ute information in regard to trees, shrubbery and forests, and that they encourage tree planting in every way possible. The war in Soudan has given the canned beef establishments in Chi cago an immense boom. Orders for 10,000,000 pounds of canned beef for the British army have al ready been received, and more is confidently expected. It is calcu lated that it will require 70,000 cat tle to fill the orders cow on hand. Texas cattle slaughtered and canned in Chicago, shipped to England and thence to Africa to feed British sol diers, is a new thing under the sun. and shows how the world moves. The closing of the Interior De partment, and flying the flag of the Union at half mast in honor of the traitor and embezzler Jacob Thomp son, shows that times have chang ed indeed, at the capital of the Nation. Thompson was an un compromising rebel, whose disabil ities had never been removed, and he was not, in fact, a citizen of the country that thus honors his mem ory. It is only charitable to bury his misdeeds with him, but it is an insult to the loyal men of the Na tion to pay his memory National honor. Some people think that according to the rules of civil service reform, faithful and competent officials are to be retained regardleps of their political affiliations. Such, how ever, ie not the view of learned Democratic expounders of reform. Say they : To supplant a Repub lican with a Democratic politician for political reasons and with a par tisan end in view, would be a gross violation of the principles of re form. To supplant him with a fit and competent Democrat, for pub lic reasons, would be no violation of the principles to which the Presi dent is pledged. Po you see it? Only assert .that the reccoyal is not fox a political reason, and you are within he rule just as easy as slid ing down hilL The rebellion in .Canada is as- snoring an ugly look. The govern ment is evidently becoming alarmed and is fast hurrying koops to the seat of the disturbance. Reports assert that a bloody conflict occur red between the insurgents and the mounted police, in which the gov ernment forces were worsted and a number of them were killed and as serted that the rebels are trying to induce the Indians of the far North west to join them, and if they suc ceed in this, a war of quite large dimensioas is anticipated. The ability of the Dominion govern ment to crush this outbreak is not to be doubted, but it will probably result in preventing her loyal sub jects in Canada from assisting the British Queen, in her wars in the Soudan and with Russia. Southern journals have lately been prating of the extreme mod esty of that section in asking for positions under Mr. Cleveland. The Bolid South has only got the follow ing beggarly offices so far: Secretary of State Bayard of Delaware. Secretary of the Interior Lamar, of Mississippi. Attorney General Garland, of Arkansas. Minister to France McLane, of Maryland. Minister to Mexico Jackson, of Georgia. Assistant Secretary of the Inter ior Muldrow, ol Mississippi. Commissioner of Internal Rev enueMiller, of West Virginia. Indian Commissioner Atkins, of Tennessee. Assistant Secretary of State Por ter of Tennessee. England is arming rapidly and preparing for war with Russia. In tense excitement prevails over the report that Russia has refused to accede to England's proposition re lative to the settlement of the bound ary line and the mutual withdraw ance of troops from the disputed territory, and is concentrating fifty thousand men at Baker. It is ap-' parently concluded that if war comes, it will not be confined to the Asiatic province in dispute, but will be waged wherever the rival forces may come in contact Look ing to this result, England is put ling her tremendous iron-clad ships in readiness, and has alrerdy char tered and is altering several steam ships to be armed as cruisers. If war is once commenced between these giants it will, without doubt, be a long and bitter one, and may eventually involve the greater por tion of Europe. It is reported from Harrisburg that the private bankers throughout the State are vigorously against the bill before the Legislature, providing for the appointment ef a State Bank Examiner. It is due the people who deposit in these banks that they should have some means of ascertaining their soundness. The late failure of Keim's bank at JohnB town, where the capital was very small and the deposits large, is a case in point Auditor General Niles says that he is prepared, when the bill comes to the front, to lay before the Legislature some startling figures. The soundness of our Na tional banks is largely attributed to the examination by government of ficials, and no good reason can be assigned why the swarm of private banks throughout the State should not be required to make the same exhibit, for the information and safe ty of people who entrust them with the custody of their money. Petitions Not Mnch Good Any Mo-c. A young Democrat from one of the back counties of Pennsylvania ar rived at one of the uptown hotels the other night After Bupper he came out into the lobby, where he met an old Pennsylvania friend. He showed the latter a numerously signed petition endorsing him for an office within the gift of the President He said he was sorry he had been delayed, as he was anxious the Pres ident should see his papers as soon as possible. His friend advised him to put his petition in his pocket, take the first train for home, and quietly wait for the President to for ward his nominatiop to the Senate. 'But,' protested the young Democrat "I desire the president to know how strongly I am endorsed for the posi tion I seek." "My dear boy," said his friend, "if you really expect an appointment, take my advice and throw your petition down the near est sewer. There is nothing that so speedily insures defeat to-day as a petition, with a long list of names attached." Washington Letter. Sympathy for Gen. Grant. Little Rock, March 28. The Arkansas legislature adjourned ine die at noon to-day after a continu ous session of seventy-five days. In the house this morning a resolution by Mr. Harrod was unanimously adopted expressing profound regret at the dangerous and continued ill ness of Gen. U. S. Grant, and declar ing that the members of the house extend their sincere sympathy to tbe distinguished citizen and sol dier in his great affliction, and ex pressing the hope that kind Prov idence may restore him to perfect health. The General's Thanks. Speaker Graham laid the follow ing communication before the House this morning : New VoRltfarch lSSo. Hon. James L.

' GRAI7T T70HS: The Old Zso Eriag ef tie Terrible Battle with the Last Zneay. THE DOCTORS HASTILY SUMMONED To Essst? Krfflca M Tirtatca to SU Ite Scrisx PaQesL The Family and Friends Greatly Alarmed, New York, March 29. The sud den change for the worse in General Grant's condition after last midnight was a very serious matter, and Dr. Douglas and Dr. Shrady, who arriv ed at the house at 2 o clock this morning, did not leave it again until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. General Grant bad gone to bed at 10 p. m. on Satnrday, and had taken a sleep ing potion. His attempts to sleep naturally have been so unsuccessful that the physicions had advised him to abandon them, ne had seemed pretty well in the evening, and had gone to bed with no symptoms of a relapse. When Colonel Fred Grant came to the door half an hour after midnight to dispatch a messenger for the doctor he was evidently alarmed. It was learned that the accumulated secretions in the Gen eral's throat were disturbing him so that he could get no 6leep. It was said that his sufferings were so in tense before the physicians overcame them that he had to be held in bed by attendants. "I can't stand it," he cried at one time; "I am going to die." Drs. Sands and Barker drove up to the house in a carriage this after noon about 2 o'clock and were pres ent at the usual Sunday consulta tion. It lasted half an hour, and the two doctors went away immedi ately afterward. Dr. Sands declined to speak about the case. Dr. Bark er was asked if it were true that the General was in a dying con dition. "No, I think not," he replied. "lie had a spasm of the throat last night There was an obstruction between the nose and the throat He had a great difficulty in breath ing, and for an hour or two was in a pretty tight place. But he is re lieved now. Of course, it has left him weak." "Then you don't think there is any immediate danger." "No, I think not, unless some casualty occurs. Of course, casual ties may occur." I lobbed of $10,000. Ashland, Pa., March 25. Peter Dutt, an old man living near Lo cust Gap, has been looked upon for years as the possessor of a moderate fortune. He was employed as a slate picker at one of the colleries in the neighborhood and lived in an economical manner. Some years ago he lost $1,800 by the failure ot a bank at Pottsville, Pa.; and since that time he had kept what remained of his fortune in his strong box at home. This morning while he was attending services at one of the churches his house was broken into by unknown parties, who found $10,000, which was se curely locked in a bureau drawer up stairs. No trace of the thieves has yet been found. It is believed, howev er, the robbery was the work of par ties thoroughly acquainted with the premises. The old man is almost broken-hearted by the loss of his hard-earned money. Parched Corn for Food. Wheeling W. Va., March 2G. The condition of affairs in the lood less counties of the interior is grow ing desperate. The frozen streams and terrible roads make it absolute ly impossible to render aid with any speed. Still the people of the State are earnestly at work and will afford abundant relief as speedily aa the people can be reached. Mountain farmers hawe no seed nor the mon ey with which to buy it. In many instances the whole bill of fare con sists ef parched corn and sorghum molasses. In Wort county it has been found necessary to issue rations of corn meal. The Parksburg Daily Journal recites instances of terrible suffering and sickness and says that a traveler counted in one days brief journey thirty head of dead cattle, a mortality that is awful for tbe num ber owned. The Kanawab, Ritchie, Pleasants, Wirt, Nicholas and Brax ton County Courts have all met in special session to provide means of relief. A Heinons Crime. Galveston, Texas, March 24. The News, Larendo, Texas, special dispatch says : The inhabitants of this city were horrified to-day when they heard the account of a heinous crime which had been committed in Nueve Laredo, Mexico, across the river from here. Certain details are suppressed. A Mexican had become jealous of a Mexican girl about IS years old. Going to her room in tbe daytime, he locked the door, divest ed her of her clothing, and tied her securely to the wall with heavy ropes. He then deliberately cut strips of flesh from various parts of her body, and under the threat of cutting her heart out compelled the girl to eat her own flesh. Her fran tic screams brought assistance just as her tormentor had cut off the end of her tongue. He was arrested and lodged in jail. The girl died this evening. . j i1 j i i a A Bloodhound Saves Prison. Lancaster, March 25. The of ficials of the Lancaster County Prison have been silent as the grave about an exciting affair which oc curred in the prison on Monday night Alonzo Hambright, serving ten years for burglary, and the en gineer, was standing near the engine room door, when his attention was attracted by the barking and baying of Bruno, an immense bloodhound belonging to the prison. Going in to the yard his eyes followed the direction in which the dog was look ing, and he saw flames and smoke issuing from a window in 'the work room, over the prison kitchtn aftd next to the tower. The prison of ficials were alarmed by the convict, and after seven men had carried wat for half an hour without giv: ing the alajm outside the institu tion, tbe flamesjyarg conquered. ' Jast as Good.

When ever a man dies who has been at an y time the bead of an Executive D e partment, it is the custom to clot that Department on the day jf the f a neral and give theofficers and clerk s a holiday. The national flag which floats over the department buildings and outside offices is kept at half mast from the the time the fact of death becomes known to tho Secre tary until after the funeral. T'aere ore times when this custom should be more honored in the. breach than in the observance, and Secreta ry Lamar is severely censured for showing special honors to his prede cessor, Jacob Thompson was Secre tary under Mr. Buchanan, and who became such a viraknt rebel. Thompson left the interior Depart ment in disgrace, after ugly trans actions in connection with trust funds of Indian tribes, of which some $S00,000 was stolen. He did not retire from the Cabinet, howev er before he had informed the Seces sion authorities at Charleston of tbe decision to reinforce and piovision Fort Sumter, and of the sailing from New-ork of theBteamer btar of the West to perform that dutv. He was already one of the Secession Com missioners of Mississippi, and ia or der that no time should be lost in putting the Secessionists on their guard he used the telegraph, imme diately after a Cabinet meeting at which he was present, to inform the Rebels of the action taken. Dur ing the Kebellion he was in Canada, and was an active member of that colony of traitors who were accused of plotting to carry smallpox and yellow lever to Northern cities, ani was known to be actively engajf- ed in the incendiary and inhuni scheme to create conflagrations in the same cities by the use of Greek fire. Thompson was under snoh dark suspicion of possessing a guil ty knowledge of the conspiracy u assassinate President Lincoln that. Andrew Johnson immediately afler his accession to the Presidency, of fered by pnblic proclamation a re ward of 325,000 for Thompson's ar rest Thompson was never pardon ed, and never had his politieal disa bilities removed. When Howell Cobb, Buchanan's Secretary of the Treasury and John B. Floyd, his Secretary of War died, no notice was of them. Now Washington has been shocked by seeing the United States flag over the Interior Department lowered, all business suspended and 6,bbo officers and clerks given a holiday with pay in honor of this traitor and conspira tor. Better things were hoped of Mr. Lamar, but his conduct shows how deeply the virus of the rebellion is imbedded in those who took part in it. The feeling on this subject has been greatly increased by the report that Mr. Lamar is not alone responsible, but that honor to Thompson's memory was decreed by the entire Cabinet, the President ap- proving." N. Y. Tribune. a Duel in Western Style. Kansas City, Mo., March 2G. Information has just come to this point by a scout from Fort Reno that a horrible tragedy took place at the Wichita Agency, Indian lern tory, on Monday last, when a duel was fought in true Western syle with Winchester rifles, and both partici pants were shot dead. At a horse race Frank Copeland, a cowboy, and John Foster, a half-breed scout, be came engaged in a quarrel, and in less than two minutes it was decided to fight and both stepped out and faced each other at fifteen paces. At the call ef three both fired and both dropped dead. Copeland with a bullet in his brain and Foster with one through his heart The men had both killed their man on former oc casions and both were know through out the Indian country. Koinance of a Tramp. Charlotte, N. C, March 2G. Near Wadesboro, on Tuesday, a tramp called at the house of two la dies and asked for lodging. . They finally agreed to lock him in a closet. About midnight the ladies were awakened by a - negro, who had come into the room. He threaten ed to kill them if they made outcry. He demanded money, which one of the ladies said she would get. She then went to the closet and unlock ed the door when the tramp sprang out, pistol in hand. The negro started to run, but the tramp fired, killing him instantly. Shortly af ter it was discovered that tbe sup posed negro was a white man and a neighbor, who had blackened his face. War Begun on the Isthmus. La Libertad. San Salvador, March 27. The war which has been thought inevitable for some days past, has already become an actual ity.

A DJ TERENT STORY. A dispatch from Battleford says a scout has just arrived with details of the fight, He says the rebels ap proached Crozier, who had but seventy-five men, with a flag of truce, and while parleying fire was opened by the rebels from two sides, raking the police and volunteers on both flanks. These responded with rifles and canon, and forty rebels at least must have fallen under the raking fire and as many more wounded. A Riel emissary is under arrest at Fort Pitt for inciting Indians on the Saskatchawan reserves. News has ah o been received that the Crees are in council at Poundmaker's re serve, and that the Indians are about starting on the war path, and there arf fears of a general movement on the part of the Indians to obtain more supplies. A delegation is now going to Battleford to make demands. Colonel Irvin advises that General Middleton must bring a large force to subdue the rebellion.

Baltimore, March 24. To-day the indignation at the appointment of Eugene Higgins as Appointment Clerk in the Treasury Department received a new impetus. The com munication of the Committee of the Civil Service Reform Association to Secretary Manning was discussed, and startling accusations were pre sented. They begin with 1875, when Higgins is charged with vio lating the ballot-boxes (Governor Carroll's election) after the election, and while the ballots were in the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court He is charged with having fraudulently destroyed the ballots of one party, and substituting tick ets of the other party. In 1879 he is charged with having gone to the Clarksville district of Howard coun ty, and having been the champion bulldozer of that district under a rowdy alias, and with pistol and whiskey bottle in hand terrorized the quiet citizens, and illegally vot ing hundreds of negroes and others brought from outside by the assist ance of the district register and oth er conspirators. Again he ia charged with being a lobbyist, and with holding an inter est in a gambling house. The state ment in regard to the election frauds Mr. S. T. Wallis says was first brought to light through the volun tary statement of a man named & SSMLft'SS William A. Stewart, now of the Su preme Bench of this city. He also says that in 1S83 Major Richard T. Allison, then clerk of the Superior Court, named several of his deputy clerks who were engaged in the transaction, and confessed the de tails and the names of those con cerned in it, including that of Eu gene Higgins. Mr. Wallis 6tates further that he called on Robert T. Baldwin, president of the National Mechanics' Bank, and one of the Commissioners of Finance of the city of Baltimore, and Mr. Baldwin said Higgins had communicated to him all the details, and that he (Hiegins) had assisted in destroy ing, in 1875, one set of ballots and substituting the others. Higgins had told Mr. Baldwin that "of course it is all wrong, but he thought it was for the good of the Democratic par ty," or words to that effect Mr. R. T. Venable in a letter to the com mittee states that Keys made a con fession to him that in 1875 "he, with others amoi g them Eugene Higgins went into the Record of fice and remained over a Sunday. They took out from the ballots a large number in favor of the reform candidates, and burned them and substituted Democratic ballots in place of those burned." Cure for Plies. 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, symptons of indigestion are present, as flatulency, uneasiness of the stom ach, ect. A moisture, like perspira tion, producing a very disagreeable itching, after getting warm, is a com mon attendant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at once to the ap plication of Dr. Bosanko's Pile Rem edy, which acts directly upon the parts affected .absorbing the Tumors, allaying the intense itching, and ef- fecting a permanent cure.
