Ox Wednesday last Governor Beaver
appointed Judge Alfred Hand, of Lack
awana county, to the vacancy on the
Snprenie Bench occasioned by the death
of Judge Trankey. Judge Hand is in the
prime of life and has had ample experi

last only until January, when hi suc
cessor, who will be elected in November,
will take his place.
G. V. S m alley, the lxndon comes"
pondent of the New York Tribune, sum
marize the English view of our Presi
dential campaign very clearly w hen he
nays: "I have not met a single English
man who does not wish for Mr. Cleve
land's election, not one w ho doea not
take it for granted, and not one w ho doea
not believe that English trade and man
ufacturers will benetit by his triumph."
Twenty-five years ago it would have
been equally dllicult to meet an English
man at home who did not believe and
hope and pray that the war for the pres
ervation of our I'nion would be failure.
But the rebellion was put down and Mr.
Cleveland w ill lie defeated in spite of
British opinion.
The announcement of the sudden
death of General Sheridan, w hich occur
red Sunday evening, was received with
great sorrow and surprise all over this
country. Although the disease from
w hich he was suffering w as of such a na
ture that death might come at any time,
the recent bulletins issued from his bed
side were of so encouraging character
that hopes of his ultimate recovery w ere
everywhere entertained, and thus the
sorrow at the receipt of the new was in
tensified. In his death the country knes
another of the three great figures of oar
civil w sr. He was one of the greatest
soldiers of modern times, and Lis fame
will be as enduring as the history of the
period in which he lived.
Et-iioVEKVIB PuRTCk's deeisMill not to
enter llm lb as a candidate for the
nomination for Governor of Indiana
seems to be irrevocable. His sjeech on
Saturday night must settle the matter fi
nally. In view of his previous declara
tions be believe that he cannot, as an
honorable man, yield to the prepare that
is being put upon him. There is no lack
of men to choose a candidate from, and
a ticket can easily be named that will
help take Indiana out of the list of
doubtful States this year.
Imvu.bation from Europe is on the in
crease, notwithstanding the discouraging
pictures of our tariff-ridden country that
free trader have been draw ing for years
past. The arrivals during the year end
ing June SOth were 539.81H; an increase
of 56,702 over those of the preceding
year. Nearly half of these 243.CS2
left homes in free trade England, Ireland,
Norway and Sweeden, to endure the bur
dens cast on the workinguen of this
country by a protective tariff. A large
number came w ith means furnished by
relatives in this tariff-taxed country, and
many of them, while cruhed by tariff
robbery here, w ill send money to pay the
rents and maintain the existence of oth
er relatives who are still enjoying the
blessings of free trade.
The Mills bill is purely sectional. The
interests attacked by it are Northern in
terests, and the interests protected are
Southern. The interests that are in dan
ger of destruction lie north of Mason and
Dixon's line. This is a fact that w ill not
be overlooked in this campaign. There
is not alone, therefore, in this fight on
the part of the Smth for free trade a de
sire to enforce a mistaken principle, but
there is also the intention if jNjscible to
injure the section of the country through
w hose efforts the integrity of the coun
try was ireserved. It is a fight for ven
geance. In proof of this Honry Watter
son, a year or more r.go, promised the
Southern laborers that they would be
profited by free trade or low er duties in
that the difference of w ages would close
the Northern furnaces and light instead
the furnace fires of the Smth. And
again, sugar, that is a Southern product,
is protected, while wool, a Northern in
dustry, is made free. These facts ought
not to lie lost sight of. They are the key
to the situation. They ought also to lie
finger-boards indicating to the Northern
voter w hat he should do.
The Harrisburg Tr-i-yraph says : The
attention of the whole country is just
now directed to the investigation of for
eign pauper immigration, of the impor
tation of the cheap latior of Euro;e to
compete with American labor, and Iem
ocrat and Republican alike condemn it,
and declare that it should cease.
Tlie objections of Republicans seem to
us to lie consistent with their principles.
But w hy should Democrats object ? Why
should Democrats oppose the coi!ieti
tion of the cheap labor of Euroiie ? They
are now advocating a policy that means
more even than this, if it means any
thing. They are advocating a reduction
of the duties on some things and tlie
making free of duty other thing, and
thus entering the American laborer and
workinginan into competition with the
foreign workman and laborer. Is this
not so? And is the imortition of for
eign laborers any worse, or even as bad,
as the importation of the product of
cheap foreign labor? If a thousand em
igrants are landed in New York, is that
as bad to our workmen as the shipment
to this country of the product of a thou
sand laborers produced in some pauper
mill on the other side of the water ? We
do not think so. And yet this is what
the IieiiKK-ratic party, and Mr. Mills,
mean when they declare in favor of pro
ducing an article at the lowest possible
cost. "
Americans do not want the foreign em
igrants and neither do they want the
product of the cheap mills of Euro).
But free trade is worse even thau free
emigration.
Talks on the Tariff.
There is a good tariff talk in Mr. Charles
E. Buell's letter in the New Haven ratlaii
nm. It shows how the Southern free traders
absolutely give their own case away w hen
their own iiidiLtries are concerned :
" Henry tlay said., fifty years ;;o : ' Ia-I
me fix the value of (lie foreign niercliaiMliae
and 1 do not care what your duty i-.'
" During the ?riod Ironi 1M" lo Isin the
South managed to keep the duty on foreign
rice at JU lT cent, ad valorem, w lucli means
a duly of 3 icr cent, on a price lixed by the
producer.
" This would lie satisfying protection to
any Northern manufacturer, but the Sr.it h
had still an additional protection ly the op
eration of a law of naluae that i immutable.
They bad slave lalior, which is a po-itive
prohibition to foreign imports, and it takes
tlie place of a protective tariff in every free
trade country, for only cheap labor can cotu
ete with cheap lalur on cijtiat terms and
with ejual chance fur jnlits ill tlie markets
of the world without the aid of legMative
protection.
This show the ehsract-r of latior tliat is
best adapted to free trade.
"This year's reiiort of tlie Rice Association
Snrnnnah ii this a rice trust T) gives points
of interest and shows liow carefully tlie
ground was looked over by So.itheru protec
tionists before attempting to foroe reduction
of tariff and free traile upon evtry Northern
industry.
"The rejiort snyi that 'the per diem of
slave labor did not much, if at all, ei.-eeJ
twenty cents." Again it say: Since the
cmanciation of slaves the ;ot of labor in
tlie rice district ranges from forty to sixty
cents for field labor and t f.r skilled la'rur
per day. So that at no time since V couid
rice have been cultivated a a staple product
without the protection afforded ly import
duties onon tlie foreign grain.'
"This is orthodox protection and is com
mendable. Why? The l'ii:ted States Minis
ter at I'ekin in his report gives the reason.
He says: 'Coming now to the field hand
whom tlie farmer hires, the average wages
for able bodied meu is iVl per annum, with
food rice, straw Slid shoes.- Here is the
terror to the Southern rice gardener.. He
know that a deadly law will optrate ag-.iinst
him if legal protection is not given to his
iet product. He shows some of the same
instincts of self preservation of his Northern
brother when put face to foe with a rice
producer w ho can pet labor at four cents a
day, and this too. in presence of a fact
which is affirmed by cxeriein that s'ave
labor in tlie SiHith, when t lie sytem was at
the zenith of its glory, 'exceeded taenty
cents per diem."
" The report goes on: 'In Kurnel tlie high
est permanent wages are fifty cents a month.
On the basis of twenty six working days in a
month here is a rate of scarcely two cents a
day for rice producing.
- But this is not all. This reirt recites
that, 'in Uorat men employed by the year
get eighty pounds of rice a mouth and forty-five
cents to $3 ier annum.'
"The rejiort concludes: The contrast in
this element of cost should render unneces
sary any further comment than that without
tlie intervention of the existing import tax
on Asiatic rice competition would seem im
possible.' " This is true, and no fair minded person
In tlie North would object to tlie protection
which this Southern industry asked for. and
because it was Southern, obtained it."
PRESS COMMENTS.
Buffalo Sntidati .Vnnt : If we except the
London Timet, the Canadian press Is giving
Cleveland tlie warmest support he it getting.
Ohio StaU Jmtrnat: Tlie highest tyiw of
American manhood never giies fishing on
IWorslioii Day, neither !! it inmill tlie i
widows and orphans of the pal riot dead.
lhiib, J,mri! - The adiption of free trade
and low wages in this country would send
tlie temperance cause to the rear a quarter of
a century. Nothing so demoralises a peo
ple as low wages and poverty.
.Yea- i'eri Sua: Meanwhile the law no
li ibiting the iniortation of foreign contract
labor stauda. as fsum the lay of its enact
ment, very much of a farce. It may be nec
essary to lock the back door.
Milwaukee .Senin.- Mr. Cleveland's dis
position is something like that of the little
girl who. with her hands and mouth full of
candy, was crying bitterly. When asked
what was the matter, she wailed: "This
candy is making me sick and nobody won't
make me stop eating it ?"
Boston Trwicr : The (aople recognize s
true gentleman intuitively and they put their
estimate upon him. General Harrison is
growing steadily in tlie confidence and admi
ration of the American people, and this is
partly due to bis very striking and appropri
ate speeches tn reply to congratulations and
visitations.
Springfield (Miss.) Umok : The Rev. Dr.
John A. Brooks, tlie Prohibition candidate
Air the Vice Prletiry, talks in this allur
ing style : I have been a reliei, a slaveholder,
and a fire-eating Ieniocrat, but thank God I
have never been a Republican, and I have not
that sin to answer ftr. This is a little rough
on Ceneral Fisk. the head of Dr. Brooks'
ticket, who if guilty of the uiitiardonable sin
of having once been a Keimhlicar,.
New York Vail W Espra : The tremen
dous Republican demonstrations that will
greet and honor Mr. Blaine will not be what
our Ieniocratic friends wish they might be,
a signal that the I -arty is waiting for him to
breathe into it the breath of life, hut a proof
that the iwrty is already so united and har
monious and full of fWht and faith, it de
dcliglits in the anticiieitioii of tlie prmid
welcome it will give to its old and honored
leader.
.Vne York Trihnne : The conn try is com
paratively new, true. It was newer in
when IVmocratic free trade had its latest
test. a country gets old. according to
free trade theories, wages fall. As this coun
try gets old the fact is that wages rise ; they
are per cent, higher, to say the least, than
tiny were when the Iemocratic policy ceas
ed to govern. The advance has been in spite
of the most marvelous migration of labor
everknownin human history. Over 8.9it.M
workers have come to th;s country, and yet
wares have risen ; something like half of
them have come from Great Britain, and yet
waires there have risen comparatively not at
ail.
Buffalo .Vor: Democrats can no longer
close their eye to the fa-t that a tidal wave
has set in against the free trade platform an a
candidates that is growing larger instead of
smaller as election draws nearer. Right
here in Krie County there w ill be a s'ltiicteot
change to overcome Cleveland's Uate major
ity of four ytars ago. and it is not unlikely
that in projmrtion to their tjp other coun
ties will show a still greater break. As an
offset to these hundreds of prominent lVmo
crats who have openly declared for Cleveland
hat have the Itanucracy to offer? Well,
there is ex-Mayor Seth !.' an 1 his brother
of Brooklyn and two or three of their chums
and these are all the conversions that have
been reorted. In truth, the outlook for the
party is a very misty one.
Chicago 7ier Orr.m : The Knglish press
continue to maul away at tieneral Harrison
and the Republican party and applaud i ro
ver Cleveland. The London .Wan makes the
fallowing poiul: " The man whom the Ite
publicans hare chosen will not win. His
name has been received with laughter. Mr.
Cleveland's election is practically certain.
He has helped to purify the civil service, has
dignitied the foreign poiicy, and has, above
all, made himself the proiogator of free
trade principles." People had not observed
out Wot that Doniocrats are convulsed with
"laughter." Then comes the Birmingham
I'uft and says " we are to some extent direct
ly concerned in the result of the contest. Mr.
Cleveland is the standard bearer of free
tra'lc." England is "directly concerned in
the result," but it so happens that American
la'oorers and business men ate also.
Atlanta Cviutilnlinn : The hysterians went
into convulsions when it was proposed to
invite Major McKiniey to the Chautauqua,
and by the time they had begun to arrange
their disordered garments and straighten out
their disheveled bangs they heard a rumor
to the effect that Brother Blaine had been
invited. At this the hysterians. who l.ave
taken up the alisurd idea that they consti
tute the Iicniocratic party and are the custo
dians of its principles, went off into another
series of convulsions and tried to shake the
atmospliere with their horrified cries. If
the directors of thcCoatitaurpia feel that it is
desirable to extend an invitation to Mr.
Blaine or lo any other American citizen,
they will not take the trouble to consult
with the hysterians about it. At tlie same
time, there is no reason why the hysterians
should cut up any unnecessary capers. The
weather is hot and convulsions and comii
tion fits are wearing the system. It will be
time enough for the contortionists to throw
themselves out of joint at the ankles and
knees when tiny discover that Mr. Blaine
lias Ixvn invited to the (liautaiK)iia and has
accejiteil.
Joining the Harrison Column.
A New York disKitii says: The tariff is
sue continues to make heavy inroads on the
Ik-inocrals ill this State. James A. Whit
ney, one of the leading lawyers of this city
and a dyed-in-the-wool Iiein.s rat, is out for
the Harrison and Morton ticket. He has
voted with the Ivtnocrary since and
four years ago heartily supported Cleveland.
He debris- now that dozens of IVmocrats of
his .ic-ptaiutance in this city hare also bolt
ed tlie rty ticket. Tlie more the tariff issue
is agitated, he says, the greater will be the
I accessions of old line lKiuocrats to progres
j sive Republicanism.
j Mr. H. S. Ramsdell, of the Ramsdell
j trunsjiortation coni;uiy, running boats lie
' tween here and Alliany, is also bent on leav
ing the Icmocracy, and as he is a man of
influence in the Hudson river towns his ac
tion will bring others with him. A repjrl
from Troy states that six former Cleveland
voters joined a Republican club there in a
body lat night Frank Mctiovern, a weal
thy IH-mocralic contractor in IUundout, has
formed a Harrison tariff club, composed on
ly of former Ilemocrats. It has now a meni-
bership of twenty-si. He promises 100 be
fore he stoiis.
Hon. Benjamin Ray, of Hudson. N. Y.,
well known as the " Old War Horse" of the
;emocraey in Columbia county is out for
UarrUou aud Morton.
An Altoona dispitch says: Ex.Mayor
Samuel C. Breth and ex-School Director C
E. Fettinger, leaders in the IV-mocratic party
for years, have declared for Harrison and
Morton. Tlie Harrison Veteran Club now
rcorts a list of 1VVI memliers. and claims to
be the stronge-t in Central Pennsylvania. It
wa 'leci.ied to invite Mr. B'.aineto stop over
a day and swuk in Altoona on his Western
trip. The 6.?oJ employes in the Pennsyl
vania shops will run up a tremendous pro
tection vote this year.
Myriads of Butterflies.
Eastox, Pa.. August i Rrittertlies by tlie
tliousaiids dew around the electric lights in
this city last night, lit on the carbons and
then dripped dead in the globes. When tlie
men who renew the carlmns visited the
lights this morning tliey found on an aver
are two quirts of dead butterflies on each
glo'.ie. These butterflies are the kind that
lay mot b eggs.
RE-vniMi, Ta., August 2. This city had a
remarkable visitation last night. Myriads of
moth inflated the air. resembling at a dis
tance a snow-storm. Tliey were first noticed
Hying around the electric lights about eight
o'clock and gradually increased to such num
bers as to obscure the brilliancy of the lights.
Fires were built nnder the lights and heaps
of the moths were btrned. The doors and
windows of dwelling houses had also to be
kept closed to keep them out. Local scient
ists pronounced tliera cotton moths, and
they evidently came from tlie South.
CEN. SHERIDAN IS DEAD.
Hsi Passes Away Suddenly Sunday
Night of Heart Disease.
Nosyt'iTT, Mass., Aug. 5. General Sheri
dan died to-night at 20 minutes past 10
o'clock of heart failure.
fte death was unexpected, a General
Sheridan had been constantly improving and
strong hopes of his final recovery w ere en
tertained. He had been resting easily and
expressed himself as feeling much better in
tlie evening. This was nothing to indicate a
fatal termination, and Co apprehensions
were felt. When the final catastrophe came
there were but two or three persons in the
room. There came a stulden paroxysm of
pain, the heart ceased beating, and all was
over in a few minutes. Dr. McKee was the.
only physiciaiu in atlendauceC'anJ it was
impossible for him to do anything.
OEK. SHEEIDIS'i STCCESSOB.
'Washimgto, Aug. S. With the death of
General Sheridan, the rank of Lieutenant
General lapses. The command of the army
of the Cited Stales falls to the ranking Major
General. There are now three Major Gener
als, Schofield, Howard and Crook, Gen.
Sehofield t being the ranking or senior ap
pointment. If Congress sliould create the
position of Lieutenant General, the appoint
ment thereto would be made by the Presi
dent from the list of Major Generals.
Tlie illness which ended the lifeof tieneral
Sheridan began in May of this year, and in
a few days became alarming. His main ail
ment was what is technically known so val
vular heart disease. As a result of this he
was also affected dropsically.
From the beginning of his illness its dan
gerous cliaracter was recognized, and, al
though the physicians in attenance never
admitted that they rxjiected death at an
early date, they held out no hopes that he
would ever recover sufficiently to arstin as
sume command of the Army of the I'nited
States. Tlie tieneral also recognized his
critical condition, and before the end of May
made his will and gave himself up to the last
battle iu which he was to engage.
During the last days of May and all through
tlie month of June he was subject to frequent
attacks of heart failure. During all this
time his death was expected almost hourly
and bulletins were issued by his physicians
at short intervals. On several occasions he
was so near it seemed iniiossibIe for him to
rally, and once, it is stated on good author
ity he actually ceased to breath fir some mo
ments and was only restored to life by the
perserverance and skill of his attendants.
After the middle of June the bulletins
issued by the physicians became more en
couraging. The attacks of heart failure were
less frequent, and the tieut seemed to gain
ill strength and spirits. While resigned to
his fate, the General's indomitable will was
exercised to the fullest extcr.t, and this, as
much as any other circumstance, was respon
sible ior the improvement.
A few weeks ago it was decided to remove
funeral Sheridan from Washington to a
cottage he had built at Nommitt, Mass-. The
removal was effected without apparent in
jury to him, and from the dtte of his arrival
at his cottage to last Saturday night the re
ports of bis condition were uniformly en
couraging. Tlie latest bulletin was iarticu
larly ho)'fuI. Dr. Pepjier. who visited the
tieneral on Saturday, issued 'his bulletin :
"Thereisnodoulitas lollic decided though
gradual improvement of (ien. Sheridan s
condition. He has gained flesh, showing
improved assimilation of food. His breath
ing is easier, ami the condition of the lungs
is eminently satisfactory. The action of the
heart is stronger and more regular, and there
is a progessive deiTease in the frequency ami
violence of congestive symptoms. His ner
vous force is, of course, enfeebled, but yet
there is in this respect also a grateful im
provement. I' (ion the whole his condition
and prospects are as encouraging as could
possibly be hoped for under the circumstances
and if no untoward complications ar'ce a
gradual return to better health may be count
ed upon."
DEVTH's St tlllEX SI MMONS.
Noxoi itt. Mass., August 5. fien. Sheri
dan's death occurred at 10;2rt this evening.
Previous to the sudden appearance of heart
failure, at about :SI, there had licen no pre
monition to-day of any unfavorable change
in his condition. The weather has beeti
warmer than usual and the General w as at
times a little restless, but seemed generally
bright and cheerful to-day. His voice was
strong: he look a full supply of nourish
ment. slej occasionally, as usual, and the
doctors and his family were in hopeful spir
its. At 7 o'clock Mrs. Sheridan and the doc
tors went to the hotel for supper, and soon
after their return the usual preparations for
the night were made. At about t.3 Colonel
Sheridan said "Good night" to his brother
and went to the hotel, there having l-eu
through the day no sign whatever of any
in favorable change in his condition.
At !. symptoms of bean failure sudden
ly apeared and Drs. O'Reilly and Matthews,
who were with him at the time, immediate
ly applied the remedies which had proved
successful in all similar previous attacks,
but this time they were without effect, and
despite all that could be done the tieneral
gradually sank into a condition of complete
unconsciousness, and at 10:20 he breaiht-J
his last. Mrs. Sheridan, the Sisters I'tluin
and Justinian, and the laithful body serv
ant, Klein, were also at his bedside through
out his dying hour.
No arrangements hxs yet been determined
uKjn iu regard to the time or place of the
General's burial.
The following official bulletin was issued
at midnight :
tieneral Sheridan died at 10:20 this even
ing. The immediate cause of death was
heart failure. The remote cause was disease
of the mitral and aortic valves, the existenc e
of which was known to his physicians, to
himself and lo his family in November of
last year. Tiie complimtiotis which have
occurred have been nervoasexhaustion, pul
monary insarctions. pneumonia, pulmonary
oegeria. anasaca and hemorrhages. The last
day of his life was somewhat restless, but
not more so than he has been several times
since his arrival at Xontpiitt. At about 0:.'!0
symptoms of heart failure suddenly apiiear
ed. The remedies which had hit herto been
successful were vigorons!yap;!ied. but prov
ed ineflectual. and he sank mpidly, dying
painlessly at the hour named.

gress were tendered to a man for the gallan
try, military skill and courage displayed in
a series of victories achieved by his army in
the valley of the Shenandoah, especially at
Cellar run. This man was Philip Henry
Sheridan, at the time of his death iu com
mand of tlie Coiled States Army.
He was born in Somerset. Perry county,
, in ls.U, and was admitted to the military
academy in ls4S where he graduated in Is.-.;.
Entering tlie I'nited States artillery he serv
ed in Texas and Oregon until IVs:, when he
sailed for San Francisco, in command of an
escort to a surveying expedition sent out by
the Federal Government. From that time
until lwU he commanded a hotly of tr.mris
among the Indian tribes, when be Was pro
moted to the rank of Captain.
Tpon tlie breaking out of the Civil War he
was appointed Quartermaster of the West
ern dejrtment and Colonel of the Second
Michigan Volunteer Cavalry. At Itoone
ville, in July, lsiii, be was promoted to the
rank of Brigadier General of Volunteers and
look command of tlie Third division of the
Army of the Ohio, distinguishing himself
by his defense at Iauisviilc. Sberiilan won
great distiction on the batiks of the Stone
river Deoemlier 30, at which time he was pro
moted to the rank of Major Genera! of Vol
unteers. He was appointed in April, istt.
to the command of the cavalry corps of the
Army of the Patomac. In September, ls4,
he was appointed Brigadier General and in
November of the same year Major tieneral
of the I'nited Slates Army. He was in com
mand of the various military divisions of
the army from June 3, 1S751, until SeiMember
2. lSio. On March 4, he was appoint
ed Lieutenant General of tlie I'nited States
Army, aud the same month took the co tu
rn in. 1 of the military division of tlie Mis
souri. He was in command of the Western divi
sion, with headquarters at Chicago, until
170, and commanded the forces which were
sent to quell the Lonsiana difficulties. The
cavalry branch of the Federal tiros under
his able direction acquired an efficiency aud
gained a reputation such as it liad never
borne before. General Sheridan succeeded
General Shernranin command of the army
and during his illness was promoted to the
full rank of General.
Perhaps no soldier in the country was
equally popular with "Utile PhiL" The
tieneral married somewhat late in life. He
was a devoted husband and father. . His lit
tle girls and he compauioiiated together a
good deal in tlie streets of WasliitrgtoB.
Noscttt, Miss,, Ang. . It Was this
morning substantially arranged that General
Sheridan' remains will be transported to
Washington in a special ear, to leave New
Bedford Wednesday, and that the funeral
service will be held in St. Matthew' as soon
as possible thereafter. Thursday or Friday.
General Sheridan lias repeatedly expressed a
strong dislike of display at funerals, and in
acconlance with his wishes and those of Mrs.
Sheridan, the ceremonies in Washington are
to be as simple as possible. The funeral,
however will of course be a military one.
The interment will be made at the grounds
of the Soldier's home in Washington, if the
assurance can be obtained tliat his wife and
children may be given a resting place beside
him.
Messages of condolence to Mrs. Sheridan
are arriving at Nonquitt from all parts of
the country. They are forwanled by tele
phone from New Bedford, the nearest tele
graph station.
When the doctors declared General Sberi
ilan dead, his faithful wife could not believe
it. She took him by the shoulder and im
plored him to recognize her, but in vain, and
as tiie cruel truth fonul itself upon her, the
devoted wife was overwhelmed with grief.
I'listoirs the children slept ignorant of their
father's death. They had bade him good
night for the last time. When they awoke
this morning Mrs. Sheriden told them of
their father's death, and the scene became
pitiful. The father always petted the chil
dren, and little Phil can hardly comprehend
what has happened.
Mrs. Siieridau has borne herself nobly
through all the sickness, and now she bears
herself as a brave man's wife should.

directed that Major (ieneral John M. S'ho

Afraid of Free Trade.
LorisviLLE, Kv., Aug. 3. In view of the
rejiort that a jute trust was formed at St.
Iiuis rovntly. a r'jsjrter interviewed W. J.
Trapp, the head of the only jrile bagging
manufactory here. His answer was not of
the kind to please the free trade people. Mr.
Tapp has shared thesympathy of all South
ern jieople for the democratic party and has
usually voted that ticket. In answer to a
question he said :
- " There is uo jute tntst anywhere in Amer
ica. Five or six men. representing many
millions of dollars, have simply bought up
all the bagging in the country, as they bad a
right to do since they paid for it."
"Did they buy your goods among the
rest?"
" Yes, they lsitiht all I had and have paid
for it all, except one payment, which they
will make next month. I closed on July 3
because I was tired of operating to let these
cotton men make 100 per cent, off what I
was losing money on. I don't care to be re
duced to tiie condition of asteel puddler. and
if the Mills bill becomes a law I might as
well sell my factory fir old iron."
Wiien will you open your mills again?"
asked the reporter.
' Wheu they get through fooling with the
tariff."

Wn.KEsctRSE, Pa., July 31. 31. At a
meeting here to-night General Master Work
man Powderly, in a lengthy address, made a
strong argument against unrestricted immi
gration, and proposed as his plan that any
European desiring to come to America lo re

advance, his dcclarat'on of such intentions;
tliat within five years after his arrival here
he must be able to read the Declaration of
Independence and tiie Constitution of the
United States or be sent back.
The Rasult of High License.
The Bio iks High-I.icen: law went into ;
effect June 3h, 1"CS7, mid its resnlLs tinitigh-'
out this State have been most remarkale.
From the time of tlie adoption of the law '
the temporanc "peopleln the various coun
ties commenced a determined fight against
the promiscuous granting of tii-enses, and
this tact, together with tha high tax upon
the basi; less, drterred many hitherto pros
perous saloon" Tteep rs from applying for a
renewal.
The effect of mw on 1 tiom were especial
ly notable in a Urge decrease, in the number
of applications for renewal of licenses in
Philadelphia and Pittsburg and other cities
where a class of drinkirrg planes known as
doggeries tl MirLshe-L In Philadelphia over
one-half the'Iii:wr aellers declined to apply
for licenses ender the Brooks law, and in
rittsbur and Allegheny county one-third
dropped out. Notwithstanding this, how
ever, 11.SX) applications for license to sell li
quor were made throughout the State. The
applicants everywhere employed able attor
neys anl bro-ij'it every other influence at
their command to bear upon the courts. The
result of the contest, now givey to the public,
is astonishing.
Of the 11, applicants for license only
7,7'il were granted, as against JI.SoS granted
under the old law in 17. In nine popu
lous counties of the State Armstrong,
Forest, Greene. Hnntinglon. Indiana. Pot
ter, Somerset, Warren and Washington no
retail licenses were grant&l. and three others
Fulton. Juniata and Mercer are almost
dry. Pittsb.irj and Philadelphia each have
only one-fourtb of the number of licensed
drinking places they had a year ago. Near
ly every county shows a heavy falling off,
aud only one Dauphin an increase in the
number of places where liiptor is sold legal
ly. Yet the 7.721 licenses grantel in
yield a revenue of fl.S'K.IXid, while tho 11,
.Vi licenses grantel in I', unler the old
law yielded a revenue of only C.17!.
The interpretation of the Ifr.iefcs law by
the judges throughout the State were in
many cases widely at variance In some
counties all retail licenses were refused aa 1
those who applied for wholesale licenses
were referred to the county treasurer. This
was the case in Washington county.
Just what the decrease in saloons and the
increase in revenues to the State under the
new law is can be imagined when it is stated
that in one year the number .of drinking
places have dropped off oil per- cent, while
the revenue has increased I'M percent. In
Allegheny county in lS? there were l.lSo
licenses granted, at a revenue of I'ioO.Si'J; in
IsiM, "lis applicatisns were granted, the rev
enue for which is t-'l 7, """. In 1 leaver coun
ty this year there were but twenly-eight ap
plications, nineteen uf which were granted,
the revenue being $1.'JH as against $oli in
1HS7, when tiiieen saloons were in oieration.
Butler county ha 1 seventeen saloons in I7
and has the same number this year, but tiie
revenue has increased from $1,110 to$2,C7o.
Washington county has fourteen wholesalers
this year, for which she gets 91 ,." against
$.M last year, when tiie county had nine
teen liquor stores in all. The total revenue
from the granting of licenses in Pennsylva
nia this year was $l.U,.7t;. as against '.7.
170 in 17.
Of the revenue derived from licenses is
sued tfhder the Brooks law the Slate receives
onc-lifih. The balance is divided between
the county and the city, borough or town
ship in u hich the license is granted.
In Pittsburgh and iu other pars. of the
State many violations of the law are retor
ted, but the courts show a disposition to
deal so sternly with offenders that it is con
fidently predicted infractions will soon lie
few and far between. ILtrrifhurij Trlr'tmph.
An Insult to the G. A. R.
W.vsiiiMirox. Aug. 2. The latest piece of
Democratic campaign strategy apt wared to
day in the shajie of a brass imitation of parody
of the Grand Army bad'i. In ship- and
size it is an exact copy of the genuine badge,
which is so familiar to the eyes of everybody
and lies Rear to the heart of every old sol
di r
There is the cogle on the pin, and the star
pendent on a little string of red, white and
blue ribbon. In the center of the star, in
stead of raised figures representing " Fra
ternity, Charity and loyalty," the emblems
which typify the principles ot the Order,
there ft pi -cars the pictured face of the last
man on this continent, save t-rhups the old
man of IVuuvoir, whose f.tce any Ciiion
veteran would take pride in wearing upon
his breast. It is a broad fat fate, with heavy
jowls, over which the eyes are barely visible
the face of the Democratic candidate for
President and Chief of the Democratic IVtec
tivc Bureau for tiie arrest of extravagant pen
sion legislation not even the facj of the
substitute wlio answered to the the name of
i rover Cleveland on the muster roil of a
New York company, hut the face of Grover
Cleveland himself. Whatever penalty there
may be for counterfeiting a Grand Army
badge is cleverly cval.sl by making these
badges nut of brass, which, when it liecomes
tarnished and dirty, will have much the
same apjiearance as the bronze of tlie genu
ine article. They can bo readily distinguish
ed, however, either by the difference in the
decoration of the center of the star, or by
tlie difference in the sort of the men who
wear them.
These badges are m sale at one of the
stands in the House corridor, and have occa
sioned considerable comment among theold
soldiers who occupy seats o:i the west side of
the House ot Representatives. An indignant
group was discussing them to-day, and the
denunciation of wiiat they consider a sacri
ligioiis act was pretty sharp. " The idea of
that brutal face being spread over a Grand
Army badge," said Mr. Allen, of Michigan.
"The man who conceived an idea so infa
mous ought to lie court-martialed by the
loyal men whom he expects to befog in this
way," said Colonel Fnupinr, of New York.
"It is an insult to the Grand Army,
which tber will resent if they still pissess
the same spirit that won the victory for us
when once before the re.l, white and blue
emblem was desecrated." said Boutelle, of
Maine, at the boiling point.
" It is a curjed outrage," said General Ken
nedy, of Ohio, emphasizing the opinion by
the aid of words not permissible in parlia
mentary debate.
Many others sjioke in a similar vein.
Covemor Porter's Speech.
LsuuXAroLU, I5D, Aiiji. 1. In his fieech
t- the Terrc Hrr.ite Railroad t iub to-night,
ex-Governor I'orter reiterated his absolute
withdrawal from the guliernatoria! contest.
Touching the sincerity of his withdrawal
which has been questioned" by some, the
llovenior said .
" I think I value my integrity more than
I Talue anything else, and I have talked on
this question with those who are nearest and
dearest to me in life my own children.
There are five of them, all grown. They and
I cannot perceive, afier what I have said,
how I could i-nsi-i1 in competition with any
one of t'iee gentlemen in a race for the
nomination for iorernor. I feel that I must
stand fast liy my integrity I can not afford
lor any public honor that could be put upon
me to have it said j.istly by any living man
that for the sake of popularity or otlioe I
would not stand by my word. My simple
integrity reiiuires that I shall not be in the
way of any of the gentlemen whom I have
mentioned. Cries of "We want Porter."
'You'll be put there anyway," and great
cheering.
Oovenior Porter coinhiditl : " I therefore
feel, gentlemen, that I must declare to you
that I do not see how, ns an honorable man,
1 can accept the nomination for I Jovernor.
But let me say to yon this, in onler tliat all
ilefamen may be hushed there is no lend
between Benjamin Harrison and myself.
Applanse. I will support him zealously
and heartily in this canvass. Applause.
There: have lieen some tilings said about
(ieneral Harrison pulling me throuirh. and
about my pulling (ieucral Harrison through

many years, but have never known the time
when anybody had lo pull him through."
Cries of "Good, good," and cheering.
"Elinky" Morgan's Crime.
Con MRts. Ohio, August i -Blinky"
Morgan was hanged after midnight to-night
in tlie iiemtentiary. He refused lo U-ll who
his acmip:ices were iu the Ravenna crime
when promised a reprieve for the, informa
tion, and possibly commutation of hisileath
sentence to imprisonment lor lifa if they
were convicted.
Yesterday Morgan madcont an order turn
ing "his body over to Dr. Clemmer, tlie phy
sician of the prison, with the request that it
be used for the benefit of science and after
ward cremated, though he did not want it
used in a way which would cause notoriety.
After giving this order, however, lie received
a letter from Nettie bowrry. of Cleveland,
who is repu'ed to have been his mistress,
asking that his body be sent to her. She had
been refused the privilege of seeing him
alive, and said it was uo more than right she
should see bis bee after death. Morgan
changed his mind and asked the physician
to relinquish his claim, which was done.
Morgan and hU gang rubbed a Cleveland
fur store in Sanuary, 137, of $3,000 worth of
goods and got away to Pittsburgh with the
booty. Detectives in that city succeeded in
arresting Harry McMunn, a noted criminal,
as one of the guilty parties.
I"or.ce Captain Hoehne and Detective W.
C. Hulligan, of Cleveland, went to Pitsburg
to take McMunn to Cleveland. In returning
at night the prisoner was handcuffed to Hul
ligan. and all three took seats in the smok
ing car. There were eight or ten people in
the car, and at Alliame. Ohio, three other
men came on board, taking seats in the smo
ker. When the train stopped at Ravenna
the three passengers who had got on at Alli
ance stood up and demanded the surrender
of the prisoner. The detectives attempted
to draw their pistols, but the rescuers were
too quick, and Hoehne fell with bullets iu
his shoulder and thigh, (me of the gang
kicked him until he was insensible, while
the others shot at Hulligan until he had
seven bullets iu his Usly and his head split
open. The men then escaped with McMunn.
Hulligan died, bat Hoehne recovered. The
latter traced the gang to A'jiena, Michigan,
where Morgan and two alleged confederates
were captured. No case could be made
against the other men, but Morgan was con
victed of Hulligan's murder.
A Holocaust in New York.
New Yobk. August 4. Twenty or more
miple were bunied to death in a six-story
brick tenement house in the rear of No. 1M7
Bowery, New York, yestenlay afternoon.
Several others, burned so badly that they
will probably die. were removed to various
hospitals.
In the building lived about I'm jieople.
K n il of the six floors wxs occupied by a sin
gle family, the head of which was a tailor,
and each made clothing for the cheap w hole
sale clothing-houses and employed from fif
teen to twenty m.-n, women and children, in
addition to his own family, in making up
the clothing. They were all Polish Jews,
and employers and employed worked, ate
and slept iu the crowded room of the dingy
tenement.
The dwellers were caught as in a trap.
Many of the frightened inmates rushed
down through the flames and escaped to the
narrow court yard with clothes ablaze and
hands and bodies burned. Six of them were
so severely burned that they were taken to
the hospital and may die. There were fire
escapes on the front and rear of the house,
perpendicular iron ladders running down the
front and rear of the building, but before
any of the inmates had tried lo escape by
them the flames had ascended through the
house and were reaching from the windows,
so that descent by the fire-escatics was iniios
sible. line man, already half burned to
death, leu;ied from a fifth story window, and
fell a mangled mass of flesh in the little
court-yard. Others jumped from the second
story windows and escaped with bruises.
A woman with her hair and clothing al
ready ablaze apfieareil at the window, aud a
man called to her to cross over the ladder.
She cried back that shecoul l not leave her
two children. The man tried to cnisM over on
the ladder, but the flames drove him bat k,
and he could not save her. Afterward the
charred bodies of the mother and two chil
dren were found in the building.
Several of the Us lies were burned so badly
that they fell apart when moved, and the
firemen were obliged to lower them from
the windows in nets.
