If there aie any doubtful Mates in

to encourage (.irori-r Cleveland, Uovcrn-

That thu U a liepuhlican year is be
coming more and more apparent. At
the election for Mayor in Jersey City,

it was upon the judgment of Secretary

Old Commander that his integrity could

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.

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

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,

Reminiscences of Prison Life.
The following reminiscences of prison life
were written for the Hisald by Jas. F.
Stanton, late of Co. 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

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

During this month, (Dec, C4), men suffered
dreadful as it was snowing and sleeting dur

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,

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.

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.

Works of Art by Twelve Famous
Artists.
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.
