Tiie vital question of to day is shall the
American doctrine of prituction, the Ameri
can market for American manufactures be
retained, or shall the Ik-mocratic party lie
permitted to hinder, cripple and overturn
all this. Shall our people march forward, or
shall they beat a rWrea! at the w him of a
Deni.icratic Ways and Means Committee,
moved by the jiower and patronage of a
Dcmoem-ic Esecutive. Siiull the next Pres

and theories of a Cleveland or a lilaiuc?

i micivss of the Republican nrty in the nation
j A national industrial policy that would crip-
pie or hind, r the development of our mauu
f.ictc.ring interests would Ik- felt more severe
ly by tlie people of our State than by our
f How countrymen in those sections that
have n.it directly !vn eft'eetcd by tlicgrouth
and prosperity which naturally result from
our great industries. It is of the uiitmiut
importance, therefore, that Pennsylvania
Republicans should take the lead in all mat-
t Icrs that arc calculated to extend, strengthen
and solidify Republican theori-, policies
and principles in every part of our Cuion.
j How can this be accomplished? Shall We do
i so by keeping on assisting in rictuatii:g

j Republicans done all that we can to assure
I
anj convince tlie people of the South that we

1 aniitv and friendship and peace with those
.four fellow citizens whoa few years back
were at war with the nation? Is it not
worth while to have, not onlv a truce, hut
pi-ace? Is not an object worthy of our !est
' etTorls to build up a Republican iarty in the
Southern Stat. in which the Confederates
can join heartily, and which wnl make the
Stales of the S.utli as debatable on tiie eve
of a Presidential election as are the States of
the North, East or West? 1 take it that
every Republican deems this wise, prudent
and desirable.

The Silk Gown Placed.
Wasiiixotox, April 3J. The President
sent to the Senate this afternoon the nomi
nation of Melville V. Fuller, of Chicago, to
be Chief Justice of the I'niicd -States. He is
a native ot Maine. 5 years or age, and a
graduate of Ilowdoiti. In jiersona! apiiear-an'-e
he is attractive, with clear cut, intclli-g'-iit
fi-atms-s and silvery hairand moustache.
A man of high scholastic attainments and a
brilliant or.itor, he has earned thclitlc of the
Ciiaiincey M. Dcjiew of the West, He is an
old school Democrat, a member of the Epis
copal Church, in which he has been con
spicuous through connection with the
Cheney anil other ecclessiastical trials.
The Republicans seem better pleased than
the Democracy, with the nomination, the
latter merely felicitating itself on a narrow
escape from P;icl. ' There is a very little
doubt that it will be confirmed. Senator
Farwcll is a wrsonal friend of the nominee,
and when the President asked his opinion of
the chances for confirmation he said : " If
you will get the Democratic Senators to vote
f.r him I shall answer for every Republican
Senator." Tiie President, with a grim smile,
replied : " I guess you w ill have the easier
half of the contract."
Mr. Fuller is a leader of the "silk stock
ing" wing of the IV-monntcy, and is not
K);tih.r with the rank and tile. He was de
feated by one vote by Joseph Mackin for
delegate to the last Democratic National
Convention, and the man by whom he was
defeated is now serving a term in the Illinois
penitentiary, while his comjK'titor is aiiout
to aseend the Chief Justice's chair for lite.
Cut. aoo, April 3.1. The announcement of
the nomination of Melville W. Fuller, of
Chicago, to lie Chief Justice of the Vtiited
States, was a great surprise to Mr. Fuller,
but he says he will accept the appointment.

Grant to Sherman.
New York, April 20-GencraI Sherman has
given to the Xorth Amtrirm RtiUte a copy
of a letter received by him from General
Grant in June l.Sii-S, in which the great sold
ier gives his reason for aa-epting the Repub
lican nomination for President. The letter
is historical and interesting. It is as fol
lows :
HEAmiiAaTF.Rs Army or hie Cxitep
States, Wasuixutox, June 21, lSliS Dear
Sir: Your kind favor, written from New
Mexico, is received. Yon understand my
position exactly. It is one I would not oc
cupy for any mere personal consideration,
but from the nature of the contest, since the
clow of active hostilities, I have been forced
into it in spite of myself. I could not back
down without, as it seems to me, leaving the
contest for power for the next four years be
tween mere trading politicians, the elevation
of whom no matter which party won
would lose to us largely the results of a cost
ly war which we have gone through. Now,
the Democrats will lie forced to adopt a good
platform and put upon it a reliable man,
who if elected, will disappoint the Copper
head element of their party. This will lie a
gr.at point gained, if nothing more is accom
plished. I feci very grateful to the officers
of our army, whose military achievements
made my reputation as well as their own, to
know that they snpisirt me in this new
field. I do not expect or want active sup
port, but merely the satisfaction of knowing
what your letter assures me on your part.
Officers who espeit to make the army their
home for life have to live under successive
administrations, and should not make them
selves obnoxious to any party likely ever tj
come into power. I shall not ask you to
conic to Washington until after November,
and probably not then. For myself, I ex
liect to be away from here most of the time,
but 1 shall keep within telegraph, and being
within the limits of my command, will ex
ercise it. Yours truly,
l".S. Geixt.
A Crash to Death.
Ri sirsYLVAXi v, O., April 2i.-A school ex
hibition was iu progress in lirooknum's hall
iu the second story of a brick building, 1 ist
t;ight. The hail scats alsnit -1'JO people, and
was crowded to its utmost capacity. Sud
denly, without llie slightest warning, the
fjoor gave way. It apieared to sink in the
centre, funnel-shaed, and the entire au
dience went down in a surging mass to the
ground, a distance of twenty feet. All the
physicians of the town were .immediately
immediately summoned.
Two persons were killed and eight serious
ly injured. Probably fifty others arc more
or less injured. A unrulier of ladies and
children were laken out, some of them un
hurt, with their clothing completely turn
off.
At once every public conveyance in town
was pressed into service and llie wounded
wero removed to tbuir homes. Tlie local
physicians and those from surrounding
towns wee summoned; and they at once set
to work lo alleviate the suiferings ol those
who had been injured. The entire town
presented the apiiearanec of a vast hospital.
Shot Himselsf In the Pulpit.
New Yons, April 2!) -Rev. Edgar L.
Ilerniance, late pastor of the Presbyterian
church in the village of White Plains, shot
himself while in the pulpit of the church to
day. Hermance's resignation was aked for
some months ago in consequence of a dis
satisfaction arising between himself and
flock over his salary. Shortly before he shot
himself Ilermance was sitting within the
chancel conversing with the sexton, John
Blakeiy, and appeared perfectly rational.
Hardly had Blukely closed the church door
on leaving, when he was startled by the rc
srt of a pistol shot, and rushing back into
the church be found the pastor stretched
prone upon the floor of the pulpit. He was
bleeding profusely from the bullet hole in
his right temple. Close beside him lay
smoking a 32 calibre revolver. Ilerniance
died at 7.43 r. . The doctors probed for
the bullet, but were unable to extract it.
Pensions for Ninety-Day Men.
Washisgtox, D. :., April 30. Represen
tative Burrows, of Michigan, has introduced
in the House a bill authorising the Secretary
of the Interior to place on the pension rolls,
upon application, the names of surviving
honorably discharged soidiers and sailors
w ho served at least ninety days in the late
war, the rate of pension to be one cent per
month for each day's actual service. Provis
ion is made in the bil for tlie employment
of I..VI0 additional clerks in tlie Pension Bu
reau and tlie office of Adjutant-General for
bringing up the rolls.
Senator. Voorhees Denounces the
Attack of Senator lngails.
Washixgtox:. April 2o. After the usual
routine in the Senate this morning tlie mo
tion to refer the President's message was
taken up and Mr. Voorhees addressed the
Senate, reading his speech from manuscript.
After speaking of the sure victory for the
Democratic party next fall, Mr, Voorhees
said that an extensive discussion of the tariff
iu the Scraite.atid House left no doubt as to
the attitude of the Republican party on that
question, and it had, at least, been forced to
throw away masks aud false faces and to
admit that taxation was not to stop at the
revenue line of the government but was to
be turned loose, without limit and without
shame, on the labor of the people, for the
sole purpose of enriching a favored tew, a
syndicate of devouring, insatiate monop
olists. Referring to the attack made in the Senate
upon the memory of McClellan and Hancock
be said therfl were su&estioHS. inspired by
the wanton and astounding assault of the
Senator from Kansas, which would not
speedily pass from the public mind. He
drew a vivid picture of the war and, after
citing history, spoke of Gettysburg, where,
be said, the last hope of the Southern Con
federacy disappeared forever. What invisi
ble spirit of the air, he asked, intent npon
evil to the Senator from Kansas, could have
been in attendance on him when he stood
up and opened his mouth in the S.-nate
chamber on the Cth of March ?
Mr. Voorhees spoke of what he termed
the "camjiaign of political animosity" and
the many ways in which the Ilepblican (ar
ty had shown its auger against the South.
His speech was long and vigorous and in
closing he said he had spoken for the truth
of history, for the peace of the country and
in defense of the good namtt of illustrious
soldier. and citiz.-ns falsely d.-fa med.
I2.gai.ls Anna vouchees' scalp.
Washix-jtox, April 27. At the conclu
sion of the morning business the presiding
officer, Mr. Ingalls. took a iosition on the
lloorandsaid : " Mr. President, shortly after
the Senator from Indiana, Mr. Voorhees;
began liissjioccli yesterday, I was called from
the Senate to eximine and sign a large num
ber of enrolled bills for transmission to the
l'resident. I had supposed from the notice
which he gave that his spjech was to lie de
voted to the subject of the tarifTand finance,
and was therefore somewhat surprised this
morning to be advised by an item in the
newspapers that I had been the object of the
Senators animadversions.
" A casual exam'm:iinai:o:i of his speech
apiears to me to disclose certain omissionson
his part with regard to the relations of the
Democratic party to the subject of pensions,
to the war for the preservation of the I'nion
to tiie reconstruction of the Southern States,
to the solid South, to the recent election in
Louisiana, and to the issues and results of
the approaching camjiaign, which appear to
me to justify some observations of mine in
reply. I therefore desire to give notice that
on Tuesday next at 2 p. m., if the Senate
will indulge me, I will move to refer the
President' message for the purpose of enab
ling mc to submit some remarks thereon."
War Vessels Launched.
FitiLAiiKU'HiA, April 21. The two trains
of Pullman cars from Washington bearing
Secretary Whitney, members of C ingress,
representatives of foreign governments and
others, invited by the Secretary of the Navy
to witness the launching of the Yorktown
dynamite enjsiser Vesuvius, arrived nt
Washington st. w harf a few minutes Is-fore
1 o'clock this uf.eruoon. The distinguish
ed party numb-Ted over three hundred,
and included a number of ladies. They
I were at once taken on board the steam
er Columbia, where they were received hy
the city ofhcialj and prominent citizens.
A collation was served on board the steamer
which meanwhile proceeded up the river to
Cramp's ship-yard, there the launch was to
lake place.
The Yorktown was launched at 3:fr p. m.
and was christened by Miss Kleanor Drcckin
ridgc, daughter of Congressman Breckin
ridge, of Kentucky. The dynamite cruiser
followed off the way at 3:10, being christen
ed by Miss Nellie Cameron, daughter of
Senator Don Cameron, of Pennsylvania.
The launches were unusually sus?eful.
The Cnited States steamer Dispatch which
lay out in the river, lired salutes as the vessels
moved ofT the ways into the stream, amid
the scr-cching of whistles, ringing of bells,
and the cheers of the multitude ofsjieetalors.
The dynamite cruiser was christened the
Vesuvius.
The launching of the two vessels forms
one of the most important eochs in the
history of .Modern Naval warfare, and in the
reconstruction of the American Navy it cuts
no small figure in the Nation's history.
While only the bare hubs were to be seen at
the launching, a clear idea could easily be
formed of the appearance and value of the
vessels as instruments of defence in times of
strife.
All the arrangements were made yesterday
and in greasing the ways over four thous
and of talloiv were used.- Tiie ship yards,
both before and during the launching were
thrown oen to the public, and the l.Tui)
employes were given a holiday. In estimat
ing the crowd which thronged the place all
day long, it would be necessary to multiply
that numtier several times.
The "dynamite gun cruiser" has caused
more curiosity iu tiie Naval world than any
other war cngina of modern construction.
The act of Congress authorizing Mi.-h a ves
sel to lie added to the Navy provided that
"she must combine s;weiae dimensions,
horse power and speed ' ; and these condi
tions were guaranteed by the Pneumatic
Dynamite Gun Company, of New York,
Which secured the contract fir building and
equipping her at a limited cost of (c'M not).
If she does not come up to these rcipiinnents
il is provided that the Government shall not
accept her.
A Millionaire's Weakness.
Chicaoo, April 27. H. II. Cross, of New
York, a well-known painter, won a curious
suit here to-day against K. C. lamg, of Kt,
Paul, a millionaire railroad contractor. In
lt:!7, shortly after Cross had iiortrnycd Van
derhill's Cintttis team of Maud a. and Aldine,
und whi'Crfls was in St. Paul making a
painting ;. ' (Jommodore Kittson's noted
pacer J.lL Millionaire Long authorized
tlicartistpproduceinoil the fast trotter
Prince Albert, now at Washington In charge
of Build IobIe. rrince Allert is the prop
erty of Long..an.l the wealthy contractor was
to be shown In the picture driving the trot
ter. The work was done, but Iaitig refused
to pay for it, and returned the picture to the
artist, who finally brought suit for the
amount, 00. In court to-day Long admit
ted that the picture was well executed, but
maintained that il was understood he was to
be satisfied with the representation, which
he was not, but why he did not explain. Tiie
picture was not put in evidence, strange to
say. A verdict for the artist was the result.
"Thereat reason why Ioing declined to
accept the painting," said S. K. Dow, who
was attorney for Cross. " I did not bringout,
because Long is a nice fellow and very sen
sitive. The truth, as you noticed, is that he
lost his right arm. Well, this loss was
prominently displayed in the aitttiiig. It
is a sore point with Long, and Cross should
havtsbown more tact Still when Messonicr
painted his celebrated portrait' of Mrs.
Mackcy she paid him, though she imme
diately destoyed the counterfeit presentment
lie.-a-.ise it looked so much like her. Img
is rich enough to have done likewise."
Creat Flood In Wisconsin Rivers.
Eac Cuir.E. Wis., April . Tlie flood
lias driven fully 130 families from tbeir
homes lliis past twenty-four hours. Tlie
approaches of tlirce bridges are covered with
from four to six feet of water and are im
passable, rortcrsvitle, a village below here,
i flooded and deserted. The inhabitants are
encamped in sheds and warehouses. Two
streets on each side of the Chippewa, in this
city, are flooded. The greatest loss thus tar
is to the Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad
and to partly subinerjjed saw mills and bus
iness bnusea. Four inches of melting snow
have fallen.
A Terrific Upheaval.
Cmcioo, April x). An explosion thit
itched 70 people into tlie air, throwing one
man 50 feet, wrecked lii big piute glass
windows, ruined $3.,'W worth of clothiug
and cause.! a stumiede of hundred, of people
from the upier stories of tall buildings, oc
curred iu a basement at State and Jackson
streets this euveuiug. y.ieerly enough no
one was killed, or even fatally injured. A"
couple of workmen for the Houston-Lhom-son
Electric Light Conqwiny were attempting
to drill a hole across under the street for a
conduit, when a gas main was inadvertant
ol punctured. One of the p:ii r lit a candle to
see what was the matter wilh the drill. Tne
next instant, the two workmen, the seventy
o.!d clerks and customers in the Bell cloth
ing store on the first floor, the massive plate
glass front and the large stock of ready-made
apparel were mixed up with broken timbers
and plaster, while people for blocks around
thought an earthquake had occurred, and
rushed pell mell into the street.
George Dunlnp, a floor walker, who was
standing on a hot-air register in the floor
selling a suit of clothes to a lady sud a little
boy, went flying obliquely to the ceiling and
landed on an overturned table, M h-et dis
tant. The aonian and child were thrown
off their feet, but were uiiiii jored and quick
ly made their escape. It is fear-si Dunlop is
hurt internally. Both the workmen. Charles
Ash and George St. Johnson, are seriously
injured, being fearfully bruised anil cut, but
are neither in apparent danger of death.
Those hurt seriously are Henry Lund, T.
J. Dttngley and E. L. Klcinhaus, all em
ployes in the store. Every person in the
establishment at the time was more or less
scratched, bruised ami bedraggled, but were
able to make their escape. The Cre was
quickly extinguished hy the city .leart
ment, else results to the victims would have
been ieriiaps something frightful.
J. II. Colin, owner of the Beil stores, es
timates his loss at $.r,i. It is fully in
sured, but there is a dunbt whether he will
get that amount. N. Corwith, owner of the
building, has a loss of jlu.iXK-', which is in
sured. A curious illustration of the force of
the explosion is the fact that few of tlie frag
ments of the great windows found were
larger than two inches square.
