Tur. death of Mr. Daniel Manning, Mr.
Cleveland's Ex-Scerelary of the Treasury,
which took place at his home in New
York, Saturday afternoon is to be greatly
regretted by all sple without regard to
party. His death is a loss to his state,
the country and more esjiecially, the
Democratic party. It w: thought by
many that he carried most, if not all, of
the brains of the Cabinet of which be was
aineuilsT. He was one of the ablest and
imsit courageous leaders the Democratic
party potwi-ssed. He w as in the fifty-seventh
year of fiie age, having been born
in Alhanv on August !), is.11.
The New York '.--w says : Hepublican
Senator) who vote for Lamar's confirma
tion as Supreme Judge will be voting the
wrong answer to the following question :
"Are you a Republican from principle,
and from belief that the Republican the
ory of national unity and (.up emacy is
rigid and must prevail, or are you a Re
publican in name only, and because you
come from a Republican State where Re
publicanism is indisictisabie to success?"
There is no honorable middle ground, for
if the Republican theory is not right it 's
w ronir, and those w ho think so should
liecouie iletiiocratti and furht it.
The stories from Western Kansas,
w hich we publish elsewhere, of suffering
and destitution give a truer picture of the
perils to Is- there encountered than the
people of the Kasl had la-en led to ex
pect from the advertisements of land
agents. Most of that section of the coun
try is beyond the limit of successful agri
cultural development; but as millions of
acres were granted by the Government to
riilroad comiianics, the rcsonrtvs of those
powerful coriKinitioiis have is-en nsed to
create Issnns in real estate to lure settlers
from the Kasl. Many of the uewcomers,
after a short experience, have found
their means exhausted. They are unable
to ri'turn, and have no alternative but to
remain and struggle with frequent fail
tires of crops and against climatic condi
tions that are insurmountable.
The cry of admiration raised by the
Democratic press over the pluck display
ed by the President, in priK-luiuiiiig to the
country his Free trade principles, subsid
ed as suddenly as it was raised. Plu.k,
tenacity of opinion, devotion to principle,
are admirable things in their way, but
will the American jn-ople iu their admi
ration for these qualities, assent to a re
newed lease of jsiwer to the Pn-sideut
w ho would use them to overthrow a sys
tem that bus surely led to our present
National prosperity. This thought sud
denly brought a surcease of joy to all
save the extreme Pree-traders. The ex
ultant r-sMuie that came laick from Free
trade England, alien the contents of the
uieswige las'ame Known there, the grati
fication displayed ..cr the hope engen
dered by it, that duties on the products
f their iauper-iaid lalsir, were to lie so
reduced as to iennit them to ixmipete iu
the open market of tlie United States,
with the products of our own mills and
factories, startled and at once arrested
the attention of the country, and sjieedily
came the conviction that the clear-eyed,
level-headed laboring men of this coun
try would assuredly see that what wonld
permit the English manufacturers to
conijiete in our own markets with their
Imdue!s, cannot lie good for them.
Every intelligent man in the country
knows that, if the manufactured products
of Eurof are iermilted to compete with
our own, then wages here must be reduc
ed to the European standard, or we must
close our work of every sort- When
that time comes, as it w ill come, if the
theory advocated in the President's tuea
ange be adopted, it w ill not only he the
oiM-ratives who will suffer the penalty
and distress, but the farmer and butcher,
and every one engaged iu furnishing food
and supplies the operatives will suffer
as well. Tariff reform n as it is called is
an entirely different thing froui the Pres
ident's policy of Free-trade. If Free
trade is adopted its Is'itelic aries wiil be
foreigners, and the money they receive
for their commodities will go abroad, and
nut be kept at home as it now is, and
they will pay nothing towards our local
Ua maA the support of our State and lo-
li'JtHnMnurhon manarVtor-
Ma nH lahorKrw are new ui red to do.
There id really no diffprenoe of opinion
between parties about tvvising the tariff
inorlerto improve and equalize it, but
when it is done it should nnd mas Oe
done on the line of protecting American
jndurfries, and not on the line of protect
ing the induKtries of foreign lamls to the
injury and ruin of oar own. The latter
in anderrtood to lie the object of the Pren
i.lent'i inemafe. That he ha blundered,
the present great prosperity of the coun
try under a protective tariff affords am
ple evidence, and hence the revuhdon of
sentiment among conservative Democrats
sinoe the tenor and effect of the Message
have been discussed and examined.
Cameron and the Presidency.
From Ik Pittsburgh Timoa.
All the reader of the Tiwo and other in
tellipu! journals know that only one jwrsoti
is eriousy thought of b- P-nnylvanian
and the great mass of Bepuhlicana of the
country as the next nominee of the rty for
PreMle-nt. Tlie name of that man is James
i. Blaine. If he doe not kwd the party to
victory next year we believe it will be be
cause he will not aecej another nomination.
ISenator Cameron is not a candidate for
President. There is reason to believe, in fact,
that he has oeen rat her annoyed than pleas
ed hr reoeiit trws.il.
J Nevertheless, ihe I'amffun talk must he
I gratifying to Penn-ylvania lt'.tib!i-ans. If
iMie of the tuns of the keystone State should
decline the Pre-identiaJ nomination next
yt-ar, tlie tender of that nomination to an
other would be a compliment to the State of
tlie hifrhel character. That this is among
the lwibi!ili is evident from the ifeiieral
favor with which the name of Cameron is
received by leaders in other States. That
the choice would be wise it beyond question.
We belie e any republican an will next
year. Ittit if Blaine wili not lead the Repub
lican host, victory will 1 easier with Camer
(in than with any other as the nominee. Mr.
Cameron u-e?se ail the qualities of a great
iinii-.il. and the lieM thrillers in the party
will rally to his standard if opportunity is
offered."
There is no disloyalty to Blaine in the dis
cussion of the merits of other Republican
leaders. In view of the fact that his closest
friends prof -ss to be ufiable lo say what Mr.
Blaine's intentions are. prudence demands a
thorough canvass of the situation.
Sherman's Three Duniais.
Wahinoto!i. Dec- 2.5. Senator Sherman
talks very litftV als.ut the IIVM'i story this
morning that he would nol allow his name
to go bef ire the Republican Convention be
t'Hiis". as he says, there is nothing in it to
tiilk alut. He did not " unbosom himself
at Ju-!iiv Field's dinner last week,' did not
"acknowhdge that Blaine would be re
nominated,' and did not add that " he
woul I not allow his name to go before the
convention." He was at the dinner, be said
but the balam-e of the story was untrue and
utterly ridiculous.
Mr. Sherman's friend" here have no doubt
of his position, and none of them have had
any reason to believe that the events of the
last few weeks or of the last few years, for
that matter, have chamred him in the least.
He is a candidate for the nomination in the
ens: of beiiif; williiij; lo accept it if the aity
wislies to give it to, him, and his frictius are
not to lie restrained in any reasonable effort
they make to secure it for him. His replies
to nxist of the correspondents who called
on dim to-day were uniform on these points,
hut sons? of the evening p:tiiers here indicate
that in private conversation he went on to
say that he regarded his chances as fully as
trisid as those of Mr. Blaine.
His speech on the President's message,
which he has announced for the first opsr
tunity after the holiday adjournment, will
lie as mnch iu the nature of a reply to the
DetUiicratic platform as the famous inter
view of Mr. Blaine. It will be a more stud
ied and careful review of tlie financial situa
tion and is is expected will contain recom
mendations in regard to the tariff and the
surplus which will explain his position
thoroughly.
Recapitulating the work of Congress up lo
the holiday recess it is found to amount to

The House of Representative is not or
ganized, and, as far as the country knows,
Ssker Carlisle is no more ready to apisdnt
the committees to-day than iie was the first

President's miwae has mail- his task more
difficult than it was before, for it has been
a harrier to carrying out the scheme of so
(railed compromise by which the IXmcratic
leaders Iihs1 to patch up a truce between
the warring factions of their own party and

and as far as an outside oliserver can discov

J. Paekmy, Mayor of Ashland. Clark

"Two men named John Henry and John
Cotter, en route to Texas, left Ashland an
hour before the storm began. Their b.slies
were found the next day on the prairie, five
miles west of town, fnen stiff. The tan
which they had with them was found fully
W miles south. The animals had drifted
with the wind, becoming exhausted, sank
into the snow and diet.
As sHn as the storm cca-ed, rescuing par
ties left Ashland. A sod house was the first
entered, and a pitiful sihl met the ga- of
the rescuers. The eniire family of ftVe nam
ed Kanoua, were found frozen stiff, tv.me
were sitting boit upright on stisls, while the
mother of the family lay dead in bed. No
fuel could be found about th place. The
rescuing party weathered the bodies tvgether
and brought them to Ashland, where they
were buried. Bruce ('.. Pnsidy, a real estate
agent of Ashland, who hud ieeii out ill the i
country looking for a claim, mas found dead
about half a mile from the limits of the
town. He had started home before the
storm overtook hi:n, hut lost his way and
erished."
When mayor Pai kney left his home yes
terday no other belies had been recovered,
but the town had been turned into a hospital
for those who had not been fatally frozen.
A great number had liml frozen, which in
several cases, necessitatis! amputation.
FORCED TO LEAVE TliKIK COMKADE.
A gentleman from Jreeley county gives
even a more startling account. Three men
left Hora-e county intending to go to luims i
a short distance from town. Thev wari ler
ed around all night, and finally one of them, a
Mr. l.;ib. s;mk exhausted in the snow.
His compel ion could not iudtn-e him to
continue the rnunp in search of shelter, and
were finally compelled to leave him. His
body was found the next day. The other
two men kept on and finally reached a dug
out where they gained shelter. Both had
their arm, feet and ears frozen and cannot
live.
The same gentleman tells a distn-ssmg
story of the ileal h of an emigrant, together
with his wife ami child. They went to a
ranch just before the blijsard liecame serious
and asksl to Is? taken in and sheltered. The
ranchman refused to receive theni and alter
wandering ou for some distance the blizzard
became so severe that the horses became un
manageable and turniil the wagon over,
throwing out the mother and child. The
balie soon succumbed and then the mother
did. The father and husband covered the
bodies with the wagon box and started out
to find shelter (or himself. His halhniing
finally attracted settlers and the emigrant
was taken in and warmiil, hut it was tisi
late. Both feet were frozen and. before a
physician could Is1 summoned, he died.
A widowed mother, her lu-ycar-old sou
and younger daughter, living in Comnnrhc
county, are dead, but their names cannot be
learned. The son was scut out by his mo' ti
er ill search of fuel. After wailing for some
time for his return the mother anil daughter
atleoipted to go to the house of tiieir nearest
neighbor. All three lost their way in the
blinding snow and perished.
Three deaths are reported from Ford Coun

Stevens county, but it is imp .wsilile to le.irn
the names, as no direct communication is
ossible with those counties. Private dis
patches fAiiu Lane, Scot I and Wichita coun

Riley ami her two children were froxeu to

A farmer named L. C. Clark, who lived

Hartland, the nearest railroad piint, for the
purpose ot getting coal, being entirely with

When he returned home he found his sister

Cameron For President.

ateh to tlie Ifrrald on Presidential possi
bilities say : " Senator fiimenm is develop
ing more strength iu Philadelphia than had
la-en anticipated one week ago, and not a
few of the Quay following are expressing the
hojietttat he may Is- nominated. In any
event it is proposed to push the senior
Pennsylvania Senator to the front with vigor
and energy. One of I lie strongest arguments
Used is that Itoscoe Cinkling would re-enter
the lists should Cameron be nominated, and
it is eveu predicted that he would accept the
chairmanship of the National Committee
With Conkling at the helm and with the
probability of his appointment as Secretary
of State under President Cameron, the Anti
Klaine (ssiple explain that an unexampled
campaigne would bp made which would

The First Gun for Stanford.
W ashington, IK. 22. " Hurrah for .Stan
ford ! 1 move we're glad he's rich."
There was nobody in the chair; the Sen
ate had adjourned for an hour; the motion,
although entirely constitutional , was not in
order at all, ami the half dozen Senators
who were stiil writing at their desks looked
very milch surprised at the noisy breach of
Senatorial propriety.
It was a little red-headed page boy who
had made the motion. He put it with a yell
and the vote, to which every page boy in the
Senate lent a yell, was unanimously and
uproariously iu the alhrmativc.
Tlie Iviys kept on cheering for Senator
Stanford as long as tiieir breath lasted and
then fell over each ot Iter ill their hurry to
tell everybody how the rich Senator from
California bad caihsl them all into the cloak
room am! given them each a crisp new five
dollar hill lor a Christmas gift.

Fruit of High License.
5ew Have, Cox., Dec 3i The agita
te m of the Prohibitionist, rticulrlys of
tlie Woman's Christian Temperance Associ
ation, which sent a perfect avalanche of bliss
to the Temperance Committee of the Legis
lature last winter, resulted in securing an
increase of from W0 to $130 fijr license,
making the price W. Tlie advocates of
high license, who have insisted that light li
cense would reduce the number of places
where liipior is sold, have been anxiously
awaiting the effect of the increased price.
AH license expired November 1, and since
that time the County Commissioners of the
several counties have met in the respective
towns of their several ' counties to grant the
new licenses.
The falling off in the number of applica
tions has been a surprise to the most san
guiue high license advocates. Iu the small
towns one-third of the-sellers have not asked
for renewals, ami these towns have ris-ived
a greatly increased revenue, though having
a less number of saloons, iu the city of
New Haven 50 more retailers have decided
not to apply for renewels, and in Hartford
and other cities of the state there has- been a
similar falling off. it is thought that some
of the small dealers will try to Nell without
license, but the prosecuting attorneys, hack
ed up by the dealers who hare paid for the
the privilege of selling, will crush out im
mediately all illegal traffic.

monious and in a few months Mr. Grass

Burnum, who filed his bill one morning, had
a ipiiet hearing before Judge Shcpanl, at
which the bride said she was just as anxious
for a divorce as Mr. Grass was, ami that af
ternoon Mr. Grass was a free man. The
actual time taken for the tiling of the bill
a id getting the decree is said to have been
b Iwectl two and three hours.
