A roMPAKCsoy of the platfomin jfrlniitiil
by the Ii-publican and iMuiicr.itic par
tie at their lale convention shows a
w idely marked Uiilervm on the Umwa
of the day. Tlte npulilkn platform
jtuuely dec-lares in favor of a tariff that
will prouvi American workmen from
roiiiprtitioii w ith the paiiHT Wr of En
ri The 1 MiMMTatir pl.tlform sirddlec
UiU imiie, and the Free-trade wing of
the pmrty, construe it as against proton,
tion. The Kcpuhlicsn platform ojienly
favorc mibmittinj.' the question of prohi-
bition U) a vote of thejieople. Tlie I W-m-otTatic
platform is total ! nilnt on that
qtuwtioii. An between the two, inU-lli-fiunt
citiu-ui cannot be uiiiJod unleaa
they are wilfully blin-L
ll-Brxr. the cuuipaign of mnn
the loudeM and most j'rsist'nt howls of
the iJcniocTiita were, "Abolish the inter
nal revenue taxes," " Take the tax off the
poor man's luxuries," " Wijie out the war
taxes," " Turn out tiie swarm of internal
revenue itiioer that are eating up the
people's ulstan." "Now, the Ieno
crat insist that these taxes shall not be
alwlished, and fiercely demand that the
ui on whisky shall not le touchel.
The " nwann of ollii-e holdent " necessar)'
t puarf and colleii thew- taxes, can all
le made wntribute and work for (.lew
land's re-eletion, and the whiskey ring,
w hich eontrolfi the market in a power in
theNwth and Went. The "war tariff"
most be reduced aay these consistent
partisan but the internal revenue taxes
must not be touched, particularly the tax
on whisky.
IEMorHATic journals are now announc
ing that at the late conference between
the Pnaudeut, Secretary Fain hild, Speak,
er CarlUle and Congressman Scott of this
Sute there was substantial agreement
among tlnie prominent Free-traders on
the tariff iw-ue, and as a result of the con
fi rem-e a bill w ill le ready for introduc
tion iu Ojnyress as sisjn as it shall meet,
which will reduce taxation in accordance
with the Presidents recoiniuenlation. It
w ill lie similar to the Morrison bill of last
w inter, only the reductions in the tariff
schedule will probably be lower. To
this is to le added a rejieal of the to-Inu-co
tax as an indin-emeiit for the su-l-rtof
the meinU-rs from the tdiacco :
growing districts. Thig is ti le made an
atliuiiiistratiou measure and it is pro
claimed that if Mr. liandall w ill suiirt
it well and good, if not, so much the
worse for Mr. liandall, as he will then
have left only one or two followers and
the bill can and w illle passed without
him." So, so. Mr. Cleveland is not only
going to follow the example of Andy
Johnson in "sw inging around the cin-le,"
but to furWier imitate his tactics with a
trial of his " my iiicv " d.x-trine. Mr.
liandall and bis friends, who liclicve in
the doctrine of Protection, are to be whip
ni iu, to the supMirt of a Free-Trade
I ml icy, or to Is- pla ed in a position of
hostility to the Administration, and then
read out of the party. Perils Mr. lian
dall cant lie bitted and spurred and forced
into UK-ckly submitting to this deftly de
vised scheme for his humiliation, and
then again, erhai, the country may 1-e
treated to a second edition of the memor
able struggle Imtween the people's repre
sentatives and an Administration sup
jsm1 to 1 entrenched in power through
the dispensation of official patronage. It
looks as if the history of Johnson's Ad
ministration was alxiut to be repeated.
Tits Jtrewers of the state held a Con
vention at Harrislmrg last week and per
fected an organization, and di-clare their
let. Aoination to fight the Brooks or high
license law and all who support it, to the
bitter end. In this effort to overthrow
the law, they will Itave the active support
of the Irohibitionists who have also ar
rayeii themselves against it Thusdoex-tn-nn-s
inwt ; but in their meeting, how
glaring is made the inconsistency of the
IVihibitionists. At their late convention
helil but a few weeks since, they declared
that the Republicans passed the high li
cense bill at the instigation of their allies
of the liquor interests, and now the lie is
gw en to this charge by the liquor inter
ests striking hands with them to tight the
law. The Itepublicans say that they arc
in favor of submitting the question of to
tul prohibition to a vote of the eople.
The iK iii.x rats say they are not. But
pending the newary legilat ion to sub
mit the whole question to a popular vote,
the Republicans attempti-d to restrain
the evil, by jia-sing a high license law.
w hereiijion the Prohibitionists attempted
, to prevent its enai-ttuent, and tbev charge
i
I that this is legislntion in favor of the liq
; uor interests, and the liquor men, who
' also oppose.1 the passage of the law, assert
that it is against them, and straightway,
I tsith fall to denouncing the law, and ar
ray themselves in hostility to it. Suppose
that, by pooling rssues w itli the Iemo
cr.its tae Prohibitionists could succeed in
' defeating the Iu publican party ? What
f i moiiMi jii.'t gain iij u, or nuiti prorjn- i
or gain can they tiol.l out to the voteis"
Has the iN-nuicratic lrty ever intimated
that it favored prohibition ? On the con
trary has it not on erery occasion w hen
it made an ntteranee, declared itself
against all rest raining or sumpi nan1 laws?
To merely state the iosition of these jo
litical Prohibitionists is to show its fal
lacy. The genuine temperance men of
the country, the men w ho truly des re to
restrain and abate the evil vf intenier-am-e
take no stock in this Prohibition
party, which litis attached itself as a tail
to the leinoeratic kite. It has liecome a
mere distinction in the path of progress,
:i refuge for broken down politicians,
without the grace to even acknowledge
the services of its time worn leaders, w hotii
it sets aside to promote the itching for
notoriety and revenge, of a few disgrun
tled politicians.
So far as Pennsylvania is concerned, it
w ill not for one moment listen to any
prosition lsiking to the absolute alsili
tion of the tariff on "ores, metals, coal,
lumber," or any other pnsluct of our
mines or mountains. We are for pnttv
tion for protection's sake, and the Mug
wum must not forget it,
CoNKnTtTtosAL prohibition has liecn
given a year's trial in Phsle Island. The
I'roviih-mv Jimnuil has e-ured rejmrts
from all part of tla; State as to its w ork
ings, the summing up of which sliows
that dninkenness is just as prevalent un
der the new law as it was before it was
ado;4ed. Liqunr is sold on tlie quiet ev
crvw Imtc.
low Republicans stand by thcircolom.
In their platform they say : "This pv

A LARCE THEATRE FIRE.
Fully One Hundred and Fifty Live
Lost in the Exetar, England, The- .
atre Fatal Rushes for the Exits.
Lokpok, September 5. By an uncontroll
able panic in the theatre at Exeter, to-night,
a loss of over a hundred Htm was caused.
White the attention nf tlie nnniemiis andi
tmv w;is lixeil Mmi the Mas it was discov
cml that a slight fire had started in one ot
tlie wings. It cmiI J easily fcave been extin
guisiil and the catastrophe averted if an
alarm had not been given, w hich threw, the
et:itor into wild confusion and terror.
Tlie attaches of the establishment bravely ex
erted theinsclrrti to ivstore eutifiilctioe and
induce the people to go out quietly, but their
strenuous efftirw were frnttlrss against the
trvmendoun nwh that was maile for the
dl. ;
The isv-uwuts of tlie pit engaged in an
awful struggle Sir egress in the narrow aisles.
Men ami women were deliberately- knocked
down and trampled upon by those behind
tiieni, and hundreds of people were almost
entirely stripped of tbeir chothing in tlie ter
rible fight for life. The pit was finally clear
ed, but a large numls?r of the occupants of
that iionion of the hirnse were seriously in
jured and presented a horrible spectacle as
they reached the streets.
CKCSHKB TO DEATH OX THE STAIRS.
It was in the pilleries, iiowernr, that the
full force of the dreadful calamity was felt.
They were packed with men, women and
children and there was only one exit from
the upper tier, which was by a long and nar
row stairway. Here an indescribable scene
of terror and slaughter ensued. The rush
f ir the stairs was terriffic and in a moment
the entire passageway was blockol, those
persotiii who kept their feet being supported
by a solid mass of prostrate humanity. The
shrieks, groans and curses of the imprisoned
ami the trampled, the wounded and the dy
ing, were heartrending, but there was no re
lief, and in a moment scores of men and wo
men were either suffocated to death or killed
by being trodden Uou.
A fire esuajie was at last brought to one of
the gallery windows, and through this me
dium the pressure w as relieved and a great
many persons were lowered to the street.
As soon as the house had been clred of the
living, the work of removing the dead was
begun and sixty bodies were taken out by
means of the tire-esi-a. The wounded sur
vivors were conveyed to the hospital and
their number tan not at this time liedetinile
aKeertaincd. but it is very large. The total
nuiiiis rof lives lost is estimated at I'm, but
may exooj-d that figure.
HOW THE rLAWKS STAKTKH.
The lire started in Hie tlies during the
fourth act of the piny. When the tlaim-s
wi n- discovered a drop scene was lowered to
prevent the current of air from increasing
the hi are. After this was done the aetors
and stage hands thn-w os-ii a door to make
their i-scape w hen the draft caued the flames
to hurst trough the drop scene and ignite
the wissiwork of the gallery. The Haines
overt.s.k the hindmost of the niifortnnate
spie w ho witf wVtsl in the eorriilor and
stairway and literally fted them alive.
Tin-re was no ees-ape for them, the tire being
at their hacks ami a ruuiact. inniHivable
mass of human Is ings in front.
The CiemeJi reached the ups?r windows
and took cut all the siple they could find,
but most of them were dead and many oth
ers died soon after they were taken out. The
s.ir-inns in the hospitals tovived a few licr
.,iis who wen- thought to Is; dead from suf-fis-atioii.
but at 4 o'l hs k in the moniing
nearly P ci risi-s lay in rows on thetWr,
anl thi-se did not cumisise the tot.nb numlHT
of the dead, as a great many bodies were
burmsl to ashes in the theatre. Some of the
dead wore simply suffocated and not all mu
tilated or burned. The occupants of the
dress circle exajied without injury, the in
jured and dead being confined to the pit and
the upjier circles.

Gored To Death.
HixsDAi E. III., aii4. ".Farmer Lyman,
a resident of the southern part of Iswners
Urore townaliip, was gored to death by a
bull OB Wednesday.
Mr. Lyman and another man went into
tlie pasture to look at some cattle, when the
bull attacked his owner and gored bim in a
terrilile maimer. His coniinioti escaped to
a Intra, and he and sooti er man mounted
Itorsts, armed themselves with, pitchforks,
and galloped back to the rescue. " They were
too late, however, for Mr. Lyman was
dead.
The bull stood rs-ar tlie mutilated bisly,
Isliiwing angrily. His eyes were rilling,
froth was dripping from his mouth, and his
tail iaahiiHf the air. The excited horsemen
charged fiercely upon him with the pitch
fork. and ttftcr a stubborn fl-ht the bid! hoi
away.
Rtumingto the boiIyofMr. Lyman, the
men found it terribly mutilated and disfig
ured. One ear was torn off and he was mar
ly disem bowled. Mr. Lyman's companion
says that when, tlie infuriated bull first
knocked his victim down, Mr. Lyman lay
still and the animal simply walked around
his prostrate form, pawing and bellowing.
It was then that the witness ran for a horse,
thinking that Mr. Lyman would lie still un
til he should arrive armed. It is supposed
that Mr. Lyman got up, and that the act was
the signal for the animal to renew the attack
which resulted in the death of the unfortu
nate man.

and it was discovered that the girl's name
was Kiuma Constable and that she and Wil
son were engaged to be married. The mis
guidcihcreature came from Krie a few days
ago, w here her heart broken mother resides.
She was employed in a paper mill, - w here
she met Wilson, with whom she is ardently
infatuated.
The couple finally arranged to come to
Harrisburg and get married. Samuel Charles
Wilson, a brother of Km ma's lover, accom
iiiied the pair to this city, and they all
went to the house of a colored woman in
Kwington, where they preiared for the cere
mony which was to make a rather pretty
girl the wife of a colored man who has not
even honesty and good habits to recom
mend him. Both brothers have frequently
liecn under arrest for minor offenses.
The girl claims the arrest was made to
prevent the marriage and says she will he
united to the dusky lover at the first oppor
tunity. The girl attended the Menvr Sol

sliort July rain, has been most disastrous in
its consequences. Tlie corn crop in this.
Writ, Ritchie, Jackson, Put man, Pleasants,
tiillioun and Ilonm counties is almost an
entire failure. Fanners from these sections
say that the cars are very small and but
partly filled. Tiie ground about the roots is
so dry that it cracks and the roots are ex
ioscd. Apples are an entire failure. Nearly
all fruits will yield but little. The price? of
nf vegetables and fruits are increasing and
what could be lsmght for ?1 a year ago costs
$5 now. Pasture lands are bare and brown.
Streams are dry and farmers haul water for
miles In a number of instances cattle have
died for want of w ater. A good many fann
ers are selling stock at whatever they can
get, as there is no pasture now and there will
lie no feed for w inter. The tax-collector will
meet w ith a warm reception in some localities
for the farmers have no money to pay with
