riiEsiDEXT Ci.evei AM last week vetoed
Congressman Sowdcn'a bill for an appro
priation for a public building at Allen
town, and signet! Congressman 1 it-island's
lull for an appropriation for the same
pur)Kite at Lancaster. Congressman
lleistaiid is a rotectionUcpublii3in and
Congreswtii'tn Sowden is a protection
IoiiiiTiit. the difference being very large
in Pnssidcnt Cleveland's eyes. Allen
towuwasas much entitled to a public
building as lincaster, but the opportu
nity of nuikinga tiTrihlc example and
showing other ll.-niocratic Hnents to
the Mills bill what could be expected,
was too great to be Jtasscd by.
Tihrsjiay morning the enterprising
Cincinnati Ioquirtr 4iblislied nvjionses
to a telegram which its etlitor had sent
the day before, from nearly all the lead
ing daily newspaper of the country giv
ing their opinion as to w ho would lie the
reiectie Democratic and Kcpuhlican
candidates for President. The Demo
cratic editor w-crc almost to a man of
tlie opiniou that Cleveland would 1 re
nominated and clecttsd, and that lilaine
wtwild lie the llepublican nominee.
Tlie Republican editors were unan
imously ff the opinion that Cleveland
would be the Democratic candidate,
while a large majority of them thought
that Ulaine would be nominated at Chi
cago and would be triumphantly elected.
The opinion of tlic f ttpreuie Court,
construing the Urooks license law, the
full text of which will 1 fouad else
where in thin paper, settle beyont an
cavil timt the Courts of Quarter Sewions
have practically unlimited discretion
in the matter and that no person can de
mand a license as a matter of ri.'l.t. In
the case lfore the court, counsel for the
applicant contended that his client w as
entitled to license as a matter of right,
be having complied with all the require
ments of the Act of 1887, and no remon
strance having been filed against his ap
plication. But Judge Paxson, who deliv
ered the opinion of the court, says, "he
has not such absolute right, nor has any
other man in the Commonwealth."
Under the law as laid down in this de
cision, all authority Sn this matter is vest
ed in the Court of Q larter Sessions and
they can, if they see fit, enforce practical
locil option in the district over which
they have jurisdiction, and their action
in the matter is not subject to review by
the higher court. The Quarter Sessions
Court is not even obliged to exercise a
judicial discretion ; whether there is a re
monstrance or not, or if no evidence ia
aubmitted to show'thai the applieaut is
not a man of good character, or the
house for which the license is applied
for is a necessity, the court, if it thinks
the lieen abouid not Ik- granted, has the
power to refuse, and from this dec ision
there is no appeal.
If this is law it is very poor law and
the Legislature at its next session tshould
see that it is rviealed or amended.

Wasiiisoton, May 8. After the transac

while Mr. Harris was ill the chair and Mr.
Ingallsou the floor, Mr. Yoorhecs rose and
said:
"Mr. President, if I do not interfere with
the business of the Senate I de-ire to makes
statement width I coin-eivc to be due to the
Senate and w hich is crsomiltn myself.
It is well known that I have been seriously
indisposed and confined to my room a! most
exclusively during the last week. I visited
the Senate yesteiduy with the purxise of
making the statement w hich I shall muke
now. The opKirt unity, however, did not
present itself until, suffering so much, I
w ithdrew from the Capitol and went home.
Iltfcrringto the discussion iu w hich I tr
ticitated last week I desire to say to the Sen
ate that, however severe the provocation
w hich was given, yet I made tiseof language
at that time contrary to Parliamentary rules
and usages and to Ihc decorum of the Sen
ate, I regret having used such language and
tender a projr ajsilogy to the Senate of the
I'nited States for doing so. My high rcsjKct
for the dignity of this body , of w hich I have
been for many years a in. nil er, us well
as my self-respect, induce me to make this
statement."
Without any comment on his iart Mr
Ingalls resumed his seat as presiding otnier.
The resolution offered yts'crday ly Mr.

The Democratic Plan.
Washington, Miy 10. Tiie D.-m ;ratic
caucus last night was satisfactory to the free
traders iu referring back all amendment to
the Ways and Means Committee, who w ill
act upon them before trusting them to the
caucus. The caucus itself was afraid of the
amendments and doubtful its to the edect on
the party w hen the discussion would begin,
and it took this mode of making the commit
tee responsible, iartly because the reference
gave more time ami a issi'oic way out of
the difficulty.
The-committee w ill not agree to all tl.e
amendments, but they will make a pretty
piod calculation as to the voting power they
represent before rejecting them, and can
keep out of the caucus any which arc likely
to raise an utsprofilaliJe row. No radical
amendments, it ran lie assured, i,l be ac
cepted. The tariff ss hes went on as usual
lo-day, Mr. Turner making a gontl argument
for tlic Democrats, and Mr. Cannon of III.,
an equally good reply for the It-publicans.

THE MILLS BILL.
Mr. Scott Addresses the Htiua on
The Measure.
WASiiiiorojr, May 11. Mr. Scott, of
Pennsylvania, addressed thr JIausea: length
this afternoon in stip;vrt of l!.c Mills tariff
bill. In tlic course of Ms remarks be asked
whether this gTv?nt countri', sixiy millions
strong, with inrentive genius keener, with
iahor more skilled than any other cople on
the glol, should di-cline to compete for su
premacy in the marts of mankind, and con
tinue forever to trade antong ourselves under
the insane delusion that we were growing
rich by the process. The bill, he said, was
framed in the inters of the whole pjopie.
It was intended in the first instance to tay
tho mounting surplus in the treasury, threat
ening overwhelming disaster; and second,
to relieve, as far as prudence would i?rmit
at this time, the over-bardened industries of
the country from excessive taxation. He
criticised the Ihtudall bill, which he contend
ed would increase taxation instead of reliev
ing the people of the present over-burden-ing
taxes. Taking the iron and steel sched
ule in Mr. Randall's bill as a dr index, be
said it was not in the line of revenue reform.
It increased the burdens on every avocation
the iron worker as well as the farmer.
For every dollar f induction of the duties
in the iron schedule twenty-six dollars were
added to the burdens of the public. High
protection, Mr. Scott claimed, created mon
ojs.lics, and did not add a prony to the
wage-worker.
As exhibiting the ojwralions ot the mon
opoly duty swelling the profits of the man
ufacturer, Mr. Scott referred to Ihc fortunate
situation of the iron establishments who
use natural gas. This he said was the cheap
est and most effective fuel ever discovered,
yet it appeared that the economy of its use
had not as yet enabled the proprietors of the
IMgur Thomson steel works to reduce the
price of their product or to add anything to
the wages of their employes. What was f
nwd.'d was 0en markets around the globe.
Western Pennsylvania. Eastern Ohio and
large areas iidcs. w hich were soon to be
supplied with this marvelous natural gas,
would, if they nndcrst.ssl their true inter
ests, exchange the pitiful cry of more subsi
dies for the most thriving indusiri' on ;
earth, for the thundering demand for free
dom of exchange and cheap supplies. Con
trasting the out industry, n hich, as he said,
prolivlion did not protect, with iron and
steal, he said that from a practical exjcn
ence of over one-third of a century ill tlic
,1 mines of the Stale, lsith aiithrocite and
and hituiiiiiions, he was justified ill stating
that tlic wage-worker nwivitl for his labor.

N" pi'r cent, of the silling price of coal at the
mim-s, as against the per cent, thai lalior

The tariff did not protect the coal miner,
hut robbed him in just so faras it increased
the cost of w hat he consumed by the iinios
ition of duties the Government did not need
to me.-t its requirements.
In further criticism of the Randall bill
Mr. Scott ssid the measure, from whatever'
(siint il was looked at, was a mi.-liegottcn,
ill-shajK-d, pretentious, unjustifiable mon
ster, with no excuse for existence and no
purjKise in its life but to olatruct the Demo
cratic party and to delay the justice which
the country demanded. Hy Axuci it'-d Prat.
Buffalo's Exciting Time.
Ht-FF.iLn, X. Y., May in. This morning
was a decidedly sensational and disastrous
one in RitOalo. A nuui'ier of explosions of
natural gas occurred ulmost simultaneously,
caused, il is supiised, by an overpressure,
and caused wide-spread excitement, besides
destroying the finest church in Huffalo, and
doing other damage. St. Paul's csthedial,
the pride and glory of ltufl.ilo, is in ruins.
The entire interior is honied out and the
roof is gone, but the strong stone walls and
the graceful spire rein iin. At 11.20 o'clock
the (lames were sen bursting out of the fins
stained glass win I r.vt of the church at the
junction of Main and Kric streets, and in
stantly most of the interior was a mass of
flames. An explosion had occurred in the
basement, the funiaee being supplied with
natural gas. aud the force was so great as to
tear off and blow out the heavy d. sirs on the
Krieand Pearl street sid.-s. People ran to
see what was the matter and a few entered
the vestibule of the church only to he driven
out by tlie flames. An alarm was al once
turned in, to which the fire department
quickly respon led, but when they arrived
no'.hing could be done to save the iuteriorof
the stately edifice, as the flamy, were burst
ing from ever)- window. Streams were quick
ly brought to bear, with hut little effect, and
the fire in a few m nncnts had reached the
heavily timbered roof. A great crowd had
gathered and gazM awe struck at the specta
cle, while exclamations ol sorrow were heard
on every hand.
Tlic tire burned with especial fury on the
K.-ie street side, when it attacked the tine
H'H'k A Hastings organ in the choir left. In
hilf ati hour from the time of the discovery
in tiie interior of the noble church it was
completely destroyed.

Washington Letter.
From our Kpeclal tVirropoatlcnt.
Wasuisutok, D. C May Ii, 1SSS.
Who will be the llcublican nominee at
Chicago? Echo answers, who? Favorite
Sons are devehiping great rapidity now-a-tiays.
Iowa has given us Allison,-Ohio lias
presented Sherman, Indiana has brought
forward Harrison, Michigan Las endorsed
Alger, Wisconsin lias instructed for Rusk,
while Xew Jersey has presented Phelps. In
addition to these Illinois lias endorsed an
adopted favorite son Gresbain. These do
not exhaust the list of presidential candi
dates by any means. Nearly one half of tlie
states arc to bold their Conventions, and we
may expect another avalanche of favorite
sons within the next two or three weeks.
Twenty -one State Conventions for theelec
tion of delegates to Chicago have now been
held, namely those of Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Iowa, Massachiuetls, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Xew Jersey, Xew Hampshire, Yerroont,
Rhode Island, Indiana, Illinois, California.
Oregon, Arkansas, Mississippi, South Caro
lina. Florida, Texas, Kentucky and Georgia.
Of the delegates thus far chosen it is claim
ed (but Senator Sherman has a larger por
tion than any other candidate. There is no
doubt but that this claim is a correct one.
Indeed it is reasonable to expect tbut Sher
man w ill have more voles on the first ballot
than any other candidate. How many he
will have it is of course impossible to say;
but his friends maintain that he will have
fully .'WO of Ihc 620 comprising a full couven
tiou. As 411 votes are required to nominate,
they claim that he will certainly get that
number w hen the final break up occurs.
The c calculations are mainly based upon
the siip;ositiun that Hiaine will not be a.
candidate. Whether or not this latter event
will occur is one of the problems w hich lh
finite mind will waste lime by grappling
wilh. If his name is presented it will prob
ably be only after a prolonged deadlock be
tween the rival candidates. Hiaine may then
lie put through with a hurrah. To tell the
truth, however, I doubt if there will be as
much hurrah business utiout this convention
as some people imagine.
The Democratic House caucus held a few
evenings ago accomplished nothing. It was
agreed that those who desired to offer any
amendments to the Mills bill should present
them to the Ways and Means Committee.
Mr. Randall pave notice, however, that he
reserved the right to orier such amendments
as suited him on the floor of the House.
Congressman Scott made a very intemperate
assault on Randall, w hich did not tend lo
heal the broach lictw cell the Pennsylvania
statesmen.
It wiH lie remembered that Congressmen
Sowden, of the l-oliigh district of Pennsyl
vania, was the only Democratic Congress
man w ho declined lo the will of tlie caucus,
some time ago, in the matter of the Direct
Tax bill. Sowden was also the leader of the
minority which recently opiwscd the River j
and Harbor bill. He is also opposed to the
Mills bill, and is probably closer to Randall
than any other man in Congress. Xot long
since he got a hill through both Houses, ajn
propiiating tdoo.oou for a public building at
hi home. Allcutowu. When it reached the
President's hands he very promptly vetoed
it. This is as small a piece of business as
this Congress has developed.
It having lieen alleged in private conversa
tion and in debate in the Senate that a lobby
paid by the Chicago syndicate, was at work
to secure the passage of the Animal Indnsty
bill. To day I asked Senator Palmer, of
Michigan, who introduced the bill, what he
thought of the allegation.
" I have never," lie said, " seen anything
of such a lobby. There is not half as much
lobbying done as would apicar from w hat is
said about it ; and lobby work is entirely
different from what it is supiosed to be.
Some Mtple would have you believe that
there are men about the lobbies of Coiigrtss
who somehow control the fate of legislation
and dictate the votes of members of both
Houses. However, since I came to the I'ni
ted Slates Senate I have been looking out
for su-h a man, but I have not nut bim yet.
Xo man has ever yet approached me and at

Kiiitob Hehvld: A few items from this
plate may be of interest to tome of the renti
ers of your excellent jmper. Our citizens
were favored recently with a lecture by Rev.
J. II. Pershing, ofShanksville, and formerly
pastor of the Cnitcd brethren church here.
His theme was "Patriotism ;" the lecture
was well received and highly appreciated by
the intelligent audience.
As the time draws near for the meeting of
the Republican National Convention the in
terest increases. Tiie Plumed Knight has
many warm friends here and his nomination
would be bailed with delight, but individual
preferences will ail give way to the choice of
the convention. We know that he will be a
good .nan w hoever be may be.
The coming event in Chnreli matters is.
Ihc Church convention of the Allegheny
conference of the Church of the I'nited
Hrethren in Christ, which convenes here on
the 2!th of this month. From prctint indica
tions this promises to be an important gath
ering of ministers and laymen of said church
and the chickens arc already b ginning to
look serious, and contemplate the uncertain
ty of life.
Something is being done in tlie way of im
provements here this season, but our town
will not have such a building boom as it
had last summer, indeed I am inclined to
think that lbs lime b drawing near wben
Rockwood will need a nicely white-washed
fence around it.
House cleaning has been, and ia still tbc

MEMORIAL DAY.
An Order from the State Depart
ment C. A. R. for ;ts Observance
Action Taken by the Post In
Somerset.
Philadelphia. Mat 4, 1SS8.
1. Time's ceaseless march brings us again
to Memorial Day, and bids us make due
preparation for its fitting observance. Twen
ty years have joined the irrevocable past
since our lamented comrade, John A. Logan,
then Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Ar
my of the Republic, suggested that the day
be consecrated to the memory of the depart
ed soldiers of the Union. The beautiful and
appropriate ceremonies then inaugurated
have become, year after year, more impress
ed upon the loyal hearts of the people, and
with a reverent gratitude for the inestima
ble results national unity and honor all
rejoice to observe and participate iu the pa
triotic duties incident to the Occasion. As
members of the Grand Army, we should ap
preciate the fact tbut the duties of the day
are imposed upon us by tlie principles of our
association, aud that in no other manner
can we more fittingly and effectively " per
petuate the memory and history of our he
roic dead " than by relinquishing our usual
avocations for a time, and lay our annual
tribute uixin the graves of our departed com
rades. We should remember the saeredness
of the duty thus devolving upon us, and
approach its discharge in a becoming man
ner. Let our conduct be such as lo bring
no reproach ujion our loved organization,
but endeavor to win respect and admiration,
and make its observance a work of love, and
a duty for all time to come. la?t us. there
fore, on Memorial Day, repair to the last
resting places of our itriolic dead, carrying
with us the choicest flowers of spring time,
and with them and the flag they lit lied to
save from dishonor, "garland the passionless
mounds above them," and thus teach by our
example that devotion to country and flag
is worthy of iin perishable remembrance.
II. It is recommended that each Post at
tend Divine worship on the Sabbath preced
ing Memorial Day, and join in thanksgiving
to God for continued ieacc, prosperity and
happiness.
