TjtK (iovernor has vet'x-d the bill ap
inpriati!i! f ')S",(KH) for the improvement
of the State Capitol, for the reastiii that
the failure of the Uevenue bill will so re
duce the anticipated Treasury surplus,
that no money can lie spared for tl'at
purjxise.
Theke is a determined ellbrt afoot to
force t iovernor Be-aver into callinc an ex
tra session, by howling fraud and asscrt
i&p that lie must not condone it. I'on't
you do it, tiovernor! Your withers are,
unwrnng. lU-f.er submit to the ills we
have, than flv at those we know not o
The remainder of the State debt will
not lie w ijied out as early as was antici
jated, the public charitU will not re
ceive as lavish appropriations as they hoi
ed for, and the old capitol will not be
)atched up, but these are minor evils,
compared to an extra session. " There is
agiKxltime coming, boys ! wait a little
longer." .
Governor Heaver is wielding his veto
axe with a stalwart arm. Among others
be has vetoed bills: Giving W,0(iO to the
State Agricultural Society; -".0iK to the
Granger's Exhibition at Williams Grove;
and flO.OtK) to the American exhibition
at London, all of which, he says are for
bidden by Section 18, Article 111 of the
Constitute n.
If reports are to te believed, the Presi
dent will " swing around the circle " dur
ing the coming fall, taking a trip from
Washington to the far west, xrhaps to
San Francisco, making speeches and
shaking bands by the wayside. His ir
tisans are anxious that he should show
himself to the people, and thus assist in
bis re-nomination.
Senator Sherm an says that the Ameri
can eorj le want "a free ballot, a fair
count, and correct returns" and that if
these bad Ix-en had in lss4, Cleveland
would not now be President. Whereup
on the iMuocralic editors of the country,
with one accord, rise ujxin their hind
l-gs aud tinitedly bowl that, "he is wav

While the Democratic' leaders are set
ting up o'niuhts discussing ways and
means to get rid of the surplus in the
National Treasury, the country is full of
old soldiers broken in health, and with
years, many of whom are in dire need.
The Treasury surplus for a single month
would relieve them all fir a year. Why
not care for them, in return for what
thev did for ns?
The new revenue act that failed to lie
conie a law because not signed by the
Sjieakcr of the Senate, gave to the coun
ty's, one half of the tax levied on monies
at interest. It was estimated that this
tax would exceed two millions of dollars,
which would give fl.OOO.tAlO annually to
le divided among the counties. Of this,
Somerset county would have !een enti
tled to alsmt H,(HK1. So, by the failure of
the bill we have lost );k,H00, as it cannot
be re-enacted until the Ix-gislature meet
in 1SK9.
Fob the past four or five years Yii-e
President Wheeler lias been suffering
from softening of the brain, and his death
is now momentarily expected. Mental
weakness has gradually grown upon him
until now he in said to lie helpless and
unconscious, and death would prove a re
lief not only to himself but to his friends.
The demise of this pure and eminent
gentleman will be mourned by a multi
tude of sympathetic friends throughout
the country who remcmlicr him in the
Ley-day of his strength and usefulness.
F. S. Mr. Wheeler is dead.
There is a very heavy pressure Wing
brought upon (iovernor Deaverto call an
extra session of the Legislature for the
pur-pose of re-enacting the JU-venue bill.
The Governor, however, say No, and
we hojie lie will stick to his determina
tion. The law gives each niemler $-"0
for an extra session whether long or (short,
and although a sen-ion for the single Kir
pone of jmssiiig this bill would not neces
sarily exceed a week the ex pen; would
lie an enormous one. The jieople are
atxrse to extra sessions: in a party int
of riew they are very damaging to the
jiarty in power, and the representative
who would, although legally entitled
theretoaccept $-VX) for the brief session
of a week, would certainly terminate bis
own jKilitical earner. Let us " grin and
bear it," Neither the State nor the jeo
ple are any worse off than they were last
year, and there is no use in sighing over
w liat might have been. No extra Hession
in ourtd
TmtorcH the gross negligence of some
of the officials at H.irrisburg, the Ivev
enue bill was mnt to the Governor w ith
out having the fignature of the presiding
officer of the Senate affixed to it, there
fore it could not bcapproved by him, and
of course failed to lieoome a law . The
Constitution requires that : "The presid
ing officer of each House shall, in the
presence of the House over which he pre
sides, sign all bills and joint resolutions
passed by the General Assembly after
their titles have been publicly read im
mediately Iicfore signing: and the fact of
signing shall lie entered-upon the jour
nal." In this case the bill passed both
House, but the important formality, of
being signed by the Presiding officer of
the Senate was neglecteL and the jour
nal of that body Is totally silent regarding
it The legislation was therefore incom
plete w hen it came to the hands of the
Governor, and his signature could not
cure the fatal constitutional defect. Hap
pily, the failure of this bill while morti
fying and annoying, and detrimental to
many public interest, w ill not cause se
rious financial embarrassment to the
State. It w ill have to get along for the
next couple of years with its old tax la ws,
and be satisfied w ith the nmount of rev
enue they raise, ami uie wtcruor
through the medium of his veto powe r
will have to largely cut down the appro
priations voted by the IiCgislature in an
ticipation of the heavily increased re
enue this bill was exjiected to pr.iduce.
This is one of the evil results of dilly-dallying
during the session, and then rushing
through business with railroad sjieed in
its expiring hours.
Senator Sherman's Indictment.
The point of Senator Sherman's nwh in
Illinois is that the election throughout a
large part of the country have not bevi; car
ried honestly, but for years by constant itaiid
and in deliberate violation of the laws of the
Vnited State ; that a majority in the jxipular
branch of Congress and in the electoral col
ege has been secured by these meth'uls. and
that a President cl.-cted by violation of law
now sits in the chair at Washington.
This is a grave charge;, which infinitely
transivmls in inixirtiinee all ijuestions re
garding the accuracy of the civil service ex
aminations, or the propriety of certain n
miutinents or removals, lint the Senator
also shows that the President, who owes his
place to del ilwrate and jn-rsisteiit violations
of law, has also lieeti the first of all Ameri
can Presidents to reward lawbreakers and
traitors by elevating a great nuinlier of them
to high places of trust, and especially by w
lecting such rsins in preference; to ail oili
er to represent this Nation in foreign lands.
The disgrace thus brought upon the Ameri
can name could hardly lie regarded with in
diilereiux'by a loyal citia-ti, and yet it is a
matter of far less consijuenee than the le
liherate encouragement given to those who
resist ami defy the laws of the United Static,
even to this day, by the iipp iintment of such
jicrsoiis to plae of large rcinsihility.
When lawbreakers are di-Ulierately seh-eted
to enforce the law. the conclusion is. irresist
ible that the Government means, if it can, to
break down and defeat the hiws by which it
is rightfully bound. Thus, the selection of
men like Garland themselves uctive pitrtiei
juints in the overthrow of self-government in
Siuthern States to t-nforee laws of the
United St.iti-s designed to secure fi't.ilom of
elections and honesty in counting the votes,
constitutes the strongest possible encourage
ment to repetition of the crime by which the
election of President Cleveland was made
possible.
If the people of this country were careful
of their own honor, if they were careful of
the interests of the nation, if they were care
ful to preserve republican institutions for
their children, they would consider this ar
ray of facts with thedeeiiest solicitude. They
would feel that no other question could 1!
more imiHirtant than to determine whether
this grave chaige is true, and if true, how a
repetition of so dangerous a crime is to 1
avoided. Clearly the time must come when
elections by the people will cease to lie ac
cepted as representing the w ill of the jieople,
if such oneness meet consent and ojien re
ward from those in office. Clearly all discus
sion of other juesiion!, relating to the selec
tion of minor officials, or to details of pub
lic policy, domestic or foreign, licconies of
trilling iiuH.irtati( when it is considered
that no decision which the people may
nwh. after ever so much serious discussion,
can lie expected to control their Government
if a small numlierof audacious law breakers
please to defy the laws and the will of the
jieople, and to count in tools of their own.
Yet it is the fiict. obvious to all men, that
a large body of citizens meets this grave
charge with no serious defence, with no at
tempt to controvert the facts, with no denial
of the gravity of the issue, but simply with
sneers alKiut " the bloody shirt." ft is for
the ieoj-le to determine whether they wish
a question of suc h imjHirtanee put aside by
sneers which in effect confess the truth of
the charge, and the imjaissibility of meeting
it in any other way. .Vnr York Tribune.

Ex-Vlc President Wheeler Dying.
Malosk. N. Y., June 2. Kx-Viee Preic
detit William A. Wheeler is dying. He is
unconscious, and while he may live several
ilcys his death at any moment would not be
tinejjiected.
Mai.o!ck, Jf. Y., June 4. The death of ex
Vice l'ni'!ent Wheeler occurred at his home
in Malone this morning at 10.10. His sys
tem bus Isvn giaibirtlly breaking down for
the Jiast six month, iusoinania and neural
gia causing softening of the brain, he lieing
very rational at times. On Monday he sank
into a condition of unconsciousness, from
w hich he never aroused hut for a moment at
a time. Since Wednesday he has not sk
ken nor given sign of recognition of his fam
ily or friends. The town is draied and flags:
are at h.ilfinast. The funeral will la- held at
ten o'clock Tuesday, June 7,at the Congrega
tional church. There was a meeting of citi
zens to-night to appoint committees for a
citizens, memorial services on Tuesday after
noon. President Cleveland who is in the
Adirondack, has been notified of the time
of the funeral.
Hon. William Almon Wheeler was born
in this jilace on the SMh of June, HI!). His
father died when he was eight years old,
leaving his mother in j-oor circumstances to
uiko tare of him and his two uisters. Mrs.
Wheeler worked hard and succeeded in keep
ing her son at school until he was cajtablc of
earning his livelihood as a teacher.
Later on he went to the university of Ver
mont for two years and there studied law for
four years, when he was admitted to the bar.
From that time on until he was relieved of
the vie jiresideiicy he always held public of
fice of sonic kind. Hriefiy, some of the offices
to which he w as at various times elected
were town clerk, school commissioner, school
inspector, of Malone; district -attorney of
Franklin county, twice member of assembly,
and once state senator.
He was a representative in congress at the
thirty-seventh and forty-seventy session,
ami in 177 bsik jiossession of the vice-jiresi-dent's
chair with U. H. Hayes as president.
Shortly after going into this office his wife
died, and thereafter his whole nature seemed
changed, and he rarely appeared in public at
any of the nxvjitioiis in Washington or elsewhere-.
When his term of office had exjiired he re
tired to his home in Malone and ser'udi-d
himse lf as much a.s jwissible from all his old
friends. Lately he declined r.ijiidly and it
was apjuireiit that his demise was only a
matter of a short time.
(If late years Mr. Wheeler sjient a great
deal of money in charity and in inijiroving
the condition of the jHMir in his native local
ity. Mr. Wheeler had lieeti a republican
from the formation of the jiurty and before
that time had been u whig.
Bloody Affray In the Choctaw Nation-Battle
Between Whites and
Half-Breeds.
Little Kock, Ark.. June 3. IlejKirts from
the Choctaw Nation are to the effect that the
trouble be'twetn the full bloods and half
breeds is growing in intensity, and has in
many cases terminated in bloodshed.
The (iovernor of the Nation mid local au
thoritics are- doing all in their jiower to j.re
se'rve -.u and jireitis-t live-sand projierty,
but the nii'ii who we-re at the bottom of the
trouble aredesjicradocs, many of whom have
ajjirice on their heads, hence a jieaee ful set
tlement se-euis imjsissible.
Humors of murder ami deeds of lawless
ness are coming in thick and fast, w hile
many family's continue to have the country.
There is an ill-ujircsscd bitteniess against
whites w ho have intermarried with Choctaw
women, thus acquiring riglits in the Nation,
and thes', "sepiavv men," as they are termed,
are obje-cts of j rsce ution. Many of the full
blexsls urge the exjiulsioti of ever' white
man in Choctaw territory, giving as a reason
that they are dangerous in stirring up strife
lictwccn full bloods and hulf-bn-eds, and are
constantly encroaching on Indian rights.
A party eif white and half-hrcvds were at
tacked Monday, on P.ull'alo creek, by a band
of full bloods. In the melee several were
woundeil on either side, two fatally. The
attacking jxirty retreated.

Dynamite In the Coke Country.
. Connkli.svii.i.e, May 31. lyiiimiU-rs are
abroad in the coke region. . At an early hour
this morning an attempt was made to blow
up a portion of the jiumjing station at one
ofH. C. Frick's works, near Davidson Sta
tion, on the southwest branch of the Penn
sylvania Railroad. Tlicse works are only a
short distance from Coiincllsvillu. A dyna
mite Isimb, made from a jiiece of gas pijie,
w ith the ends plugged with oak, was thrown
under the building bctwecii 2 and ,$ o'clock
this morning. A terrible exjilosion follow
csl, but luckily the explosive matter used
was not sufficient in quantity to aoconijilish
the jmrjKise of tearing the building to pieces.
One side of the structure wus shattered, the
glass nil broken and the stairway leading
from the first to the second story displaced.
Tliere were three men slcejiing in the build
gin at the time, the pumper, fireman and
watchman. When the building shook the
men jumjied from their IhkIh, thinking, ier
ha)Ki, it had ia-eu struck by lightning. They
rushes! down stairs and were horrified to
find that an attemjit had been made to blow
them tiji. Thep saw men in the distance
and started towards them, but werecomtfll
ed to retreat under fire. At least, dozen
shots were fired and the three men were
forced too seek jilaees of safety. The dyna
miters stood their ground for a short time
and then ran off towards Connefllsville.
The ne;ws created considerable excitement
in the region, and many of the men now on
duty at the works in the cjijiacity of suier
inti'mlcnts, watchmen, etc are fearful of
further develojunent on the iait of the
strikers. Threats are said to have bevn
made. The dynamite iMimh, had it la-en far
eiiotiiih under the building, would jirobably
have blown it and the men into atoms.
"This is not the work of Hungarians,'' re
marked one of the ojierators this afternfion,
" but of some German 'Anarchists, and I tun
sony to say the;re are quite a number of
them in the region. One of the men arrest
ed a day or two ago, charged with isuiq.'ie-i-ty
in the Jimtown riot, declared in an ad
dress to the strikers thai he receignize-d no
law but that of his own hands."
From what could lie learned this after
lioem the ojierators will take some- vigorous
stej-s to jirevent any further dejiredatiotis eir

A Terrible Charge.
Ukauixh, Pa., May 31. William Showers,
a cigannuker. aged fifty nine years, was ar

night, charged with murdering his two
grandchildren. William and Samuel. aged re
sjiectivcly three and five years. The chil
dren we-re the illegitimate offsj.ring ofShow
eru' diM-ased daughter. Two weeks ago he
drove into the mountains with the children
iu his wagon and n-tunie-d without them.
Nothing has lieeti he ard of them since, and
as Showers told many conflicting stories re
garding their absence, the district attorncy
last night ordered his arrest on the charge
of taking their lives, and he was lodged in
jail.
.Search was made for the children and re
sulted in finding their bodies buried in

showers was engaged to marry Klizabeth

The General Revenue Bill Falls.
1 1 Aiciiisui mj, Pa My 31. It was an
nounced to-day at the Kxceutive iN-jmrt-meiitthat
thetJe'iieral Revenue bill could not
become a law because cither the President
of the Semite, Hon. George Handy Smith,
or Lieutenant Governor Davits hail failed to
attach his signature to it as jirescrilwd by the
Constitution. ITnd-r the jirovisioiis of that
instrument the Senate must lie notified of
the intention of its Presiding Officer to sign
any bill, and the act must lie nobs) on the
journal. As this was not done, and the Pre
siding Officer's autogmjih diss tuit ajijiear
with that eif Sjieaker Rover's one of the
most inqsirtant acts of the Assembly of 18S7
fails, (iovernor Reaver sjH'nl whole day
in consideration of the measure, and took up
his jie-n to sign it, when he discovered the
absene-e of the tiieessary name. Just how
the omission occurred is imjsissible to con
jecture, but it might have hajijieiied in sev
eral ways. Governor lie-aver says there will
lie no extra session of the Legislature culled
on account of the omission. This discov
er' will necessitate the jiaring down of a
large number of ajijirojiriations which were
bused on estimated inensvse of revenue under
the new Iw,jas it was calculated that $l,UU0
(KHl would lie brought into the; coffers of
the State through the Oierations of this ae;t.
Many an item in the General Appropriation
hill w ill now, consequently, fall tineler the
veto of Governor Reaver. Several dele
gations were lieforethe (iovernor to-day to
urge his signature of certain items in the aji
projiriation bill. It is intimated that the bill
providing VKl.ooo for inirovenients to the
Cajiitol may suffer-with the rest ; hut the
Governor Is silent as to where he will cut.
One theory advanced to exilain the omis
sion of the necessary signature is that the
Messenger Clerk iniidvertenly conveyed the
bill to the Secretary of the Comiuenwealli af
ter Speaker Reiver had sighed it. not jireseu
ting it to the Presiding Officer of the Senate.
(iovernor Reaver was loath to believe that
the; bill was lost, but there was no alterna
tive, and he consulted with State. Treasurer
tuay, Auditor General Norris, and Secretary
Stone over the matter. The result was a de
cision that the iiicomjih'tcncss of the signa
ture killed the bill.
