It is a place for hard work and little credit Twenty years ago Richard t'roker, the present boss ofTammany, was a member of an organization lighting for pure poli. tics.

WiDSliDAT April 2C, 1S92. Important Lesson From the Sena torial Elections. From the PhiUJeiphia Inquirer. The Republicans of Tioga county, like the publicans of Armstrong, Snyder, Union, Lawrence, Mercer, Butler, Erie, Lancaster, and Crawford counties, wiil vole directly for United States Senator. In Armstrong county 5552 votes were cast for Harrison in the Presidential elec tion of 1SSS. On March Repub can3 voted for Senator. Of these Quay received 3000 and Dalzell 1200. In Snyder county 2330 votes were ist for Harrison. ISM Snyder county Re publicans voted on the Senatorial ques tion. Quay received 1G0S votes and Dal rel! CSS, and Ilarrioon was supported by the votes of 14'j9 Republicans for re nomination. In Union concty 2HS Republican votes were cast for Harrison for Piesident in 1SSS. On March 20, 912 Republicans voted for Senator, of whom 371 cast their ballots f jr Qiiay and 252 for Drlzell, the rest of the votes being divided between Robinson, Beaver and Stone. Ia Lawrence county 4342 votes were cast for Harrison in 18SS. This year 2760 Rspublicana voted fur Quay and 1300 for Dalzell, making a total of 4120 votes, only 222 less than the full Presi dential vote. Mercer county in 1SSS cast 0423 votes for Harrison. This year she gave 2SM votes to Quay and -So 4 to Dalzell, a total of 33' iO votes. Eutler county jivc535S vote? for Presi dent Harrison. The other day afce gave 2257 votes to Quay and i'53 to Dalzel, a total of 3210 votes cast. Erie county gave 0372 votes for Harri son. Q-iay got 40S0 votes and Dalzell :(;, making a total of 4325 votes. Lancaster cast 21,970 Republican votes at the last Presidential election. On the 9th of .this month she cast 11, 3W votes for Q'lay and 30 SI for )itn, making a total of 14.J---3 Reifublicans w ho voted at the ."senatorial primmies. Crawford ounty give SO 50 votes to Harrison. This vear she gave 4o40 votes to Q lay and 1010 votes to lulzc-ll, a total of 5350 votes. It is interesting to note these figures, for the Dalzell followers are fond of rais- the cry of machine influences. A primary vote whica approaches S3 near to a Presidential vol that gave Harrison majority over Cleveland of S0.000 can not 1 created or controlled by machine influences any more then it can be ex plained away by the defeated canui.iate. This voting directly for I nited States Senator is a new thing in rennsynania and the Unit-id States. A mere party boss or a machine could have prevented it, and would have dane eo. Senator Quay might with reason have avoided the issue iu Union county, where many years ago Charles S. Wolfe taught the party the folly of faction, or in Crawford county, where the personal opposition to IVlamaler has been kept alivo by law buits, or in Erie county or Lancaster coun ty, w here the local quarrels have been of the most bitter character, or in Tioga county, the home of ex-Senator John I. Mitchcl and ether Stewart independents wlKwe followers have degenerated in ability, and are crying aloud constantly and aimlessly without a cause. The country at large can draw one im portant lessen from Senator Quay's sub mission of the Senatorial question direct ly to the people, and that is that State legislatures do represent the people. His great majorities are not more an in dorsement of himself than they are an in dorsement of the Constitution of the United State and of th w'mduui of ita founders. A Bossed Convention. The following is taken from the limit Iwg Star IiuUi mint ; of Thursday, a ltmocratic daily edited :y Hon. 15. F. Movers : To say that what is facetiously styled the democratic, stale convention usa iu every way the most disgraceful body of the kind that ever assembled in this lity is putting the matter iu the very mildest terms. Philadelphia rouphs and prize-lighters were made door-keepers. Hteiers and torghs were parted in the galleries. Notorious political trailers like Tim U'Leary. Pat Foley and .Sam J'lsephs marsha'ied the majority of the dr-legaies. The whole was under the command of the self-constituted Philadelphia boss, who issued his orders, both oral and written, from one of the front seats ot the convention hail. TnJer this beastly control bonesl'iy elected delegates and peaceful citi zens who presented properly authenticated tickets of admission wfre barred out (if the convention at the muzzle of the pistol and assaulted by rullisns who woredoor-Leetierv bud.-rs. It" was, indeed, excellent company for the eminent statesmen whose shining characters were borrowed for the occasion to loss over the ntltiani'tn with a liti-e of resjiectahi'ity. No d ubt the Hon. F. K. Beltzhoover and the Hon. Georce Ko?s feel proud of the services they erforrued for the Philadelphia boss in presiding over a body organized and oiiircred from the political slums of the two great cities of the state. The mess of pottage ach of these worthies re-vived ia return fir the degradation to which they were severally sui jected by the boss has hardly left a savor entirely sweet in their Lostrils. UU ctivrun a mm aH!. The control of the committee on credentials was the key to the character of the convent ion. By getting bis pliant tool, the chair man of the tt; e committee, to put Seime s'x'y persons, who were not elected, on the roll and thus enabling them to vote for members of the committee on credentials, by lavish promises of apiiointraer.t ar.d by threats of ostracism and revenge, the b iss succeeded in fettirg a majority of bis henchmen on that committee. With that achievement ended the tijht for the control of theconventi.n. The timid an! calculat ing who were against the bos went over to b cohorts an J the Sparta. i band of unbought and unbuliied de!-a'es was left to wat;-? a losins battle. Bat the protest atciiust ris.-:stn recorded by the stalwart or httmlrc-l r.ti i v-lttn is on record as a lasting rebuke to tiie treacherous ambitious amh.tion of the man who permitted the viliany to be lerpetrated in his name and for his benefit. Ali honor to the Lenihans and Banes and Mctj'iistons who made this first IbouRh in erleclua! sta id s'aiiist the establishment of boss rule in the democratic party ! They will find the whole perry at their hick within the next year. The upshot of the convention U, that Governor i'attison wiil go to Chicago with a deh-fcstion fully one third of which ia bitter ly hostile to his presidential boomlet, each and everv one of them with a butcher's cleaver in bis hippocket. and all of this third of the delegation determined to defeat his Domimation in rpite of the unit rule. They cat talk even it the other two-third of the delegation should be suffered to do the voting for them. The governor could have had a united delegation if be had ca-sed his secret sry of the commonwealth to mind his own business, but he preferred to aid bim in establishing a bosship over the party which will be resented and reited to the hitter end. He bss aimply counnitted politioal EuiciJe, and it is doubtful if he could poll one btlf of the democratic vote of this state in the improbable event of his nomination at Chicago. Quay' Majority 200.000. At thepre-nt rate of voting of the Repub licans of the state upon the Vnited States senatorial question. Senator Qaays majority over l)aiz?ll will be more than 1 O0 wbe-n the r .-turns are alt made up. In the nine counties which have already voted on the question, the vote for senator was 52.!)-!t. In these same counties, the Republican vote for President Harrison was OJoTG. Ia that year the Republicans of the whole state cast in round numbers .V?i,Cw) ballots. If the ratio is maintained in the remaining counties of the coninion wealth, the popular vote on. the I'niced Slate senatorskip will be 42 3T7. Of the .'i2.t-JS ballots already cast for senator, Cpsy ha received 32,7.H3 and Dalzeli S.GiS It is reasonable to assume that the above ratio, which is made np of nine cuunlies from all parts of the state, would be a fair basis for an estimate of the vote yet to Le cast. Henc- if the total 422,357 vote that are likely to be cast for senator are divided ia the proportion that has actually bten made i nine counties, Sei.ator Qiay will have 312.9 and Mr. Dalxdl U0.432 in the eitire state. That would give th senator lh overpowerici majority of 202,453. Heydrick for Supreme Judge. The Democratic S ate Convention was held in llarri.barg Wednesday.

In the Promised Land. LawiKEWoop, S. V., April 15. A blast from the bugler's txucijt at noon to-day gave the signal to allow the boomers to mitke a rush for the Siaseton reservation. It w as a strange sight as the hour of noon approached. Scattered along in an uneven line to the torch and south were three com panies of cavalry, each man fully armed with sabre, revolver aud carbine. Bulk of tlie were grouped, or rather herded, a het erogeuioas mass of men white, yellow and black all nationalities of the Caucasian race, itli a liberal mixture of ualforieda and ne groes. There were won.cn in the crowd, too. and he.e and there could be seen a baby be'. I in the arm; of i:s mother as she ?;it on hrr b'irs.e, determined to be one of the first to e-ittr the pro!iiid land, which was to be opened tc-day. As all nationalities and races of men were r pre oc'.ed, so were the animals ct'ail kinds and colors. As lhe first note of the bilker, the signal for entrance, rang out, t'iere was a crack from thecaibineofthesoldier next to him, which was quhkly e.hoed by one further dowu the line. The shots rang out char in the crisp air, a:id the volley rattled down the lints on either side, it was answered by the hoof beatsof hundred-', of horsts, spurred on by riuetsretk'esst.f life or limb iu the ride for land. A clou 1 of alkil' dust rose as the motley army charged Tor t!ie line of the reservation, and M all that could be si-en fioin the crest of the rii'ge was a black mshs of huddled horstriK-n, closely pursued by a whirl of yellowish dust. A man oa a Kentucky thoroughbred got a giod start, and when the line was reached he was ten lengths in advance of the next rider, a tail cowboy who rode like a centaur, but who w as at a disadvantage as to his mount. Behind the two leaders strjDg out a long line of horsemen, men in buggies, others in spring wagons, and others still in Lege prairie schooners, the rear being brought up by a man from Tike county, Missouri, whose wi:, children and house hold eSects were contained in a Cocestoga wagon drawn by a yoke of oxen. Oa and on went the flying column, and within half an hour the last man and vehicle bad van ikhid from sight beyond the foothiils, and the soldiers, at the word of command, wheeled and returned to camp, their duty in oi-etiing the reservation being finished. There are now fuliy 5.1XW settlers on the Sitseton reservation. Train Robbers Again. Se OeLEA.is, April 15. l'ascengor (rain No. 2 of the Illinois Central was held up and robbed last night near Independence. It is believed that not more that $3 U00 was ob tained. There were three of the robbers. One of them got aboard the engine at Hammond, held up the engineer and fireman with a re volver and compel led them to obey his or- dera. The train went on a side- track at Iu dciiendenee to meet another train. Soon after leaving Areola the man on the engine ordered the engineer to stop. Several men were awaiting the train utthh point; then the masked men forced the engineer and fireman to go to the express car and order the messenger to open the doors. The mes senger did not do so and entrance was affect ed from the west side of the car. The mes senger, after hiding in the stove several val uable packages, made hisetcajie. The robbers kept every one inside of the coaches and slcetiers until their work was completed. Neither the passengers nor mails were disturbed. After the highwaymen were through with the robbery they made the engiuecr cover his headlight and back dowu about i yards, when they ordered him to go ahead. The rubbers were apparently young men ; two of them had full beards; all were very poorly dressed. Several posses are iu pursuit of them. 3.000 Families are Homeless. Jacksox, Miss . April 15. Information from the Hooded district of northeat Mis sissippi in the counties of Monroe, day and Lowdes, is that the water, though falline, is still over the country and is filled with houses, and hans and timbers, fences, tho isand of deal domestic and farm animals, with now and then a few dead negroes. Goerment aid is not wantei, but 2ik tents would be gladly received as shelter for the homeless. The lowest estimate placed on the loss of life is iVI, all of whom are negroes. More than 3,pa families are reported homtleis and suffering for the necessaries of life. The Road Engine Again. We are given some more law on this sub jret by the Supreme Court. Certain psrties operating a stone quarry employed a traction engine to haul a train of wagops between the quarry and the railroad station, over a public highway, were indicted for maintain ing public nuisance and convicted. The indictment contained two counts one al leging a hindrance and obstruction to ordi nary traVL'l ; the other that, by reason of the weight of the engine and its load, the high way was injured and the safe'y of the bridges was enJangered. The conviction was ailirtued. The Court says: '"The run ninof a traction engine over a public high way upon single occasion would not con stitute a public nuisance. That may he necessary in tiieca-w of a steam threshing engine, going from oxe farm to another. The act of June 3), 1SS."), seems to recognize such ne-cessity. and prescribes the conditions and manner under w hich it may be done. This we regard as restrictive legiriation. It was not intended to license the unrestricted use of steara ipjn the public highways." In considering the second count the Cour. says : "As a geiieml rtili-, big'iwa s and bridges are constructed f jr or lina-y -e in at or Unary manner, and not fir an uati-ual or itraor diuary use, either by crying at great speed or by the passing of a very large and Qn usual w eigl t A towuship is riot bemud to do more than so couslrrct its bridges as to pro le;! the public safe y against irj-iry by a reasonable, proiier'and probable use thereof, in view of the surrounding circumstances, such as the extent, kind and nature of the travel and business over them." Therefore, uatil ths ordinary, reasonable, proper and drobab'.e ue of highways aol brIJ 3 ij to d ri el over them at the tail of a traction engine . insteal of ia a buggy or wagon rwn by hor, tr ct:oii tr (rue people will be at tLe mercy of juries, as they ought to be to de'ubt.

D. 142. Pa. Vol., who, together with the late Chas. T. Hunter was confined in Saulisbury prison and "Castle Thunder." Mr. Stanton kept a diary and the remiiiiscer.ces are taken from it Sergeant Chas. T. Hunter (Co. C. 14J Reg iment, Pa. Volunteers) and myself were captured near Petersburg, Va , on Oil. I, lS'X, and from that time were in clote com panionship. At Richmond, Va , we were placed in box cars like so many cattle and shipped to Saulisbury, X. C, where we were told "to make ourselves comfortable under a large oak tree." Pen cannot describe the suffering of the prisoner, who were not half fed or clothed, and without protection from the weather, and seeing their dead comrades handled like so much rubbish. We prepared to dig out In order to escape and nsed an old well, making a mine from there to a church, but were discovered oue day too soon, (Oct. 25, '04), and our suffer ings were now beginning. On Xov. 3, 1 Vil, Sergeant Wm. Templeton, of Pittsburgh, died and thirty dead men were hauled from the prison. Sergeant Hunter and I cut rings out of bones and sold them to the " Rebs" for $1.00 apiece, and on Dec 7, 'CI, weweregetticg so near starved that we gave a dollar apiece for an onion, and on this date thirty-seven men died. As we were draw ing provisions for 100 men in our t;uad, the Rebs" supposed something to be wrong as they were hauling out about 3o men every day. They decided to count their prisoners. Sergeant Hunter and myself went and got enough men from other squads to make out our number aud we did the same in return. We now, (Dec 2o. 1S0G. gave up all hope of getting out alive. From Dec. 20, 'CI, to the end of the month it rained and sleeted, and men were freezing and dying at the rate of about forty-five per day. Our Christmas dinner consisted of one Sox loaf of soft bread and about one or two pints of water with a little rice ia it. Our bed was a few splints placed on the ground to keep our hips otl the ground. Our method of drawing water was to tie a stone to one side of an old tin can aud a string to the can aud draw it out of the wells. Dec 2-J a Catholic priest got permission and took two-hundred Catholij prisoners from the prison. During this month, (Dec, C4), men suffered dreadful as it was snowing and sleeting dur ing the greater part of the time and they bad to remain in the open air witbout any protection, except muslin tents, which some of us had. Many were the tears shed on this account. We were taken from prison on Feb. 22, '5. Chas. T. Hunter and I made a solemn promi to send trinkets etc., to friends of the others in case of anything happening ei ther of us, also to befriend each other dar ing life. He notified his wife to wire me in case of death so that I might be able to attend his funeral, which I did on March 27, 1S'J2. He was buried by the G. A. it. Post of -S m -er-et.

The lest milliners in the county are at Mrs. Kata B. C,fr.-vih'. Local Farmer. Secretary Edge, of the Slate Board of Ag riculture, reports the season for local far mers' institute as having been closed w ith much greater success than during any for mer year. Eighty-five institutes cf two days each were beid in dinerent parts of the State. In some cases three days were devot ed to an institutes. In all two days' insti tute there were four day session and two evening lecture upon topics connected with agriculture. The beet attended Institute was held at Black Barren Springs in Lancaster county. The attendance was estimated, by good judges, at from C.000 to 6.5u0 each day for two days. Another held at Rutland Park had an estimated attendance of 4,X. In most case the halls were well filled, and in two instances averflow meetings were held to accommodate those who were nnablc to enter the regular hall. It is esti mated that the average attendance at the So Institute was about 410. As compared with those cf former years, the institutes of the season of ISM -02 show a maiked im provement in both the interest manifested and in the attendance. The Board has this year adopted the plan proposed by Secretary E-lge of holding three r four general institutes in different pert of the State. It has been proposed to hold one during the encampment at Mt. Gretna and another during the Grange meeting at Williams' Grove. It is also proved to hold at least one general dairy iustitute in some portion of the State in which this is the predominating interest. The Board of Agriculture assumes and pays all of the expenses of maintaining and conducting these institute, and all are un der the supervision of Secretary Edge, who attends ail possible. Hall rent, expenses of speakers, postage, etc, are all pid by the Board of Agriculture, and all are invited to attend and participate in the discussions which always follow the addresses and es says. A question box is always in position and ny so desiring may, by placing a prop er question in the box, obtain information upon any topic connected with agriculture. Political and semt-poiitical discussions and topics are prohibited, and so far as possible the work of the institute is confined to le gitimate agricultural matters. By appoint ment a committee of the Board of Agricult ure spent a week in attendance at institutes held in the Stale of Xew York, and return ed well satisfied with the system adopted by the Secretary of the Pennsylvania Board. Their report will be submitted at the spring meeting of the Board of Agriculture, which is to be held at Greencastle, Franklin county, June 8lh. Little Rhoely all Right. From the Pittsburgh lii-pUh. The Rhode Island election has resulted in a complete victory for the cause of Prote-c-tion, and as such it is a matter of rejoicing. The contest there achieved a prominence disproportionate to the size of the State on account of the magnitude of the issues in volved and because it sounded the keynote of the Presidential campaign. The result demonstrates that the Democratic delusion called "tariff reform" has co charms for the masses, and that the euemies of protected in dustries are growing beautifully less iu the manufacturing States. Strenuous efforts were made in Rhode Is land oy both parties. Before the election each party was loud in its expression of the important part the result would play as an indication of the direction in which votes would go in November. Viewed from this standpoint the overwhelming success of the Republican party carries encouragement in to the Protectionist camp while it foreshad ows defeat to the tariff reducers. The Dem ocrats based their hopes in large measure on the operatives whom they endeavored to cajole by oratorical sophistry. But the workmen were wise enough to see that their personal interests were identical with thote of the nation at large, and they refused to be misled. But rejoicing In success obtained must not be allowed to diminish the efforts put forth for new victories. The struggle was close enough to indicate the necessity for individ ual and combined exertion on the part of ail who believe that national commercial in dependence is a matter of supreme import ance. Rhode Island has gone in the right direction, and it remains for - larger and more important States to follow the exam ple. Spring Fever. The gradual opening of the budding trees and the shooting upwards of the blades cf grass are signs of the advent of spring. The farmer is already at work stimulating the growth of his crop by fertilizers to in sure a rich harvest. Nature needs stimula tion and why should not man ? The system needs building np after the attacks of Grippe and cold, and the only tonic is pure whiskey.

Sometimes a magazine varies its plan of makeup for a single number, in a "vay that makes tbatiseue unique. The Cvsmopoitian, published one number some months ago filled entirely with contributions from wom en. Iu the same way the May issue of the CvtiUdijuJUaa will be noteworthy on account of the change in the style of illustration. With hardly an exception, the number is entirely made up of original works of art and all by the best at lists that could be found. There has never been a number ot any magazine that contained o high a class of illustrations, and the names of Walter Crane, the English decorator, W. M. Chase, E. W. Kemble, F. Remington, C. 8. Rein hart, etc, aie enough to distinguish the is sue alone. Horrible details of inhuman treatment became public at Johnstown Thursday when Albert Zitman was arrested by the Humane officers. It was developed that several weeks ago an old German friend went to live with Zitman. Shortly afterward he became bepless and Zitman chained him to the floor it is said, where be left him to die of cohl and hanger. The body was found two days afterward by a doctor w ho had called out of sympathy to see the old man. To add to the fearful cruelty, Zitman then locked bis two children, aged 7 and 9 years respectively in the house alone with the body and went away. There wai no Are in the miserable dwelling and the children surf.-red greatly. The body of the old man shows marks of a tt rrible beating. There are also deep braises where the chains entered bis flesh. The children act like gibbering maniacs, being crazed by the treatment they have received. Buried at the Ae of HO.
