The white men of Alabama may reach the conclusion alVr a bile that a law al lowing every citizen to ci-t a ballot, and have that ktilot c-iunled, would be a holcaoiue law. A New York woman walked into an anarchist meeting the other night, and af ter telling the fellows what ehe thooght of such critters, took her husband by the ear and led him out. The latest I.K-m xratic joke ia the fee ble tflbrt being made by a few of Gov ernor Pattison's admirers to nork np a Senatorial boom for him. Pattison can't see the joke but he can't eee the Sen&tor- thip either. That li:Ue resolution, introduced by a Fisher delegate, endorsing the adminis tration of Oavernor I'aUiaon, caused Chairman Gotlroth to make a wry lace. It waa a nauseous doae but he gulped it down manfully. Tue Michigan Supreme Couit has de clared unconstitutional the gerrymander w hich looked to stealing the State legis lature for the IX-mocraU. Justice and equity are overturning many of the I'ein ocratic plans for fraudulent United State Stun tori Xotiiisi; has ever more clearly demon Etrated the superstitious ignorance of the lower c'asses in India and Russia than the mobe which have killed the doctors and curses-and destroyed ho.-pitals in the chole-a infected districts. General" Ahl.ii Stevexsox is to make four speeches in North Carolina this month. This will be a fine opportu nity for the "Genc-raP to speak frankly about his war record. The North Caroli na Itemocrats have no prej udices against Knights of the Golden Ciriie, Thi highest compliment yet paid to the Homestead strikers comes from Hen Most, who denounces them because "they refused to counsel with the men" he sent to them. The worst enemy the American workingman bas is tbe anar ch int. The anarchist is the devil agent. Is lS'.O the English iron manufactur ers shipped 44.000,000 pounds of cotton ties to this country. InlSlil they ship ped only 1,0-MnM pounds. That is w hy the English manufacturers are opjxed to the McKinley lar, and that Bt-ems to he the on'y reason w hy the Democrats oppose it They prefer English, you kno k. Mb. Cleveland is very much opposed to having his w ife and baby drawn into the campaign, but he has had a dozen new negatives of his handsome w iftf tak en to supply pictures for the campaign. Mr. Cleveland has some judgment in art He knows which member of the family makes the best picture and is the most popular. Senator Carlisle ccmes uiighty near petting on to the Republican platform in his silver coinage thesis. He insists up on "equaty and intrinsic value." Presi dent Harrison expressed it better when he said that every dollar coined should I equal in value to every other dollar. Evidently Senato Carlisle is not satisfied w ith the Chicago platfrni. Lord A Taylor, the big dry goods merchants in New York, assert that American goods have leen much improv e 1 in quality since the passagaof the Mc Kinley law. The Democrats shout "shod dy" at everything American to be in harmony with their party. It is the big jtest piece of political shoddy ever put on the market, acd it is for sale. The Democratic Congressional Com mittee is sending out campaign material hy the ton, printed at the expense of the government. They should no forget the reprint of Henry George's book in the (Www,W RtconJ. Mr. George is one of the most ardent advocates of free trade in the country and he rejjkvs to know that h and Mr Cleveland now stand shcu'.der to shoulder on t bit issue. Thk Democrats profeseed great jubila-i-.n over the elections of lSXiand claim ed that it was a condemnation by tl e p opie of the McKinley Uw. Yet they a-e trying to obscure the tariff Lur- and to bring forward tne rnre;y jjj in the Slate in which they elected the Congresi two years ago. This is a con fession of weakness. Local issues can cut no figure in Presidential year, and the people cannot be blinded on the taritf issue. Dox. M. Du-Krxsos has reconsidered his determination to bi a United States Senator from Michigan since the Su preme Court of the State has declared the Democratic gerrymander unconstitu tional. He is now considering taking place in Cleveland cabinet, in return for his pernicious activity at the Chicago cocveDtion. Ey next November he ill Le reconciled to accepting almost -icy tray job of statesmanship thst can Le lad. Pi-tAKW. of the disbo'lcal wy in w'iU h tbe Republican party has -jnan-dered tbe rarplus," it is important to note thit the inirest-learing debt of the United States has been re-i uot-d since tlie inauguration of I'resideut Harrison in the sum of over f 27,OOU,' Xl, and that the annual interest charge, m hkh, w hen Le was iaaogar.ited, amonntd to fiV'S, Vri.S', was, on JoneM,l?i only tS,-s-.i:;SI.20, a deerewe of f ll,G4,07S.t'O, or about one-third. .V. Y. TrAaue. It is now proposed by the leaders of the Farmers' Alliance ia Alabama that the members of the party shall refuse to pay their State taxes as a method of pro testing against the lawless n cans by which the Democrats elected tr can didate for Governor at the recent elec tion. The scheme is both novel and beautiful. If put into operation it will give Alabama such a practical applica tion of the good old Democratic doctrine of nullification as she has never experi enced ina'l her born days. Sexatob Qr at, in an in'erview pub lished in the Pittsburg Cwiwcrr.V, says that "the conditions are such now that I think the Republican party is certain of success. The folly of the Democrats at their convention in Ctica was so enor mous that it has rendered President Harrison's re-eiection almost a certain ty." Senator Quav is not as popul .r a subject for Democratic papers as he was just after the Minneapolis convention. He has no enc mrajement for the Demo crats who are looking for dissensions in the Republican party. The Republican Congressional Confer ence of this district will meet ai Bedford on Tuesday, August :i0. The candidates are Mr. Edward S. Ashcom, of Kedfotd county ; Mr. J. I). Hicks, of RUir county, and Mr. Edwaid Scull, of Someratt coun ty. Cambria county has no candidate and has elected three conferees, w ho are instructed to vote f-r the best interests of the party. As, under the new Baker ballot law, a nomination must Le made at ltast Cfly-six days before the day of election, there will 1-e no protracted con ference of six or eight week's duration as has frequently been the case heretofore. Wheeler, of Alabama, sail in the Honse: "There has been a great effort to lead the people into the delusion that the force bill is dead, but those who know the lust cf power which controls every element of the generals of that party can not be di-ceived. Our third party friends of the South seem to have allowed themselves to be deluded by the siren's song. They assert on this floor the f-rce bill is dead, and that it can not be revived. Do not cur third party friends of the Sou'h know that the unity of the Sou'ii ia the only possible means of our salvation ?'' This touching appeal was directed to Tom Watson. His dis regard of it is the real reason why tbe whole band of Southern chivalry, with lance in rest, are after Tom. He has been taking pretty good care of himself. Mk. r. G. Bowman, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Kolo faction in Alabama, has offvred to arbitrate the issue as to w hetbtr Governor Jones' ma jority w as secured by fraud. He propos es that JuJre McCielian, of the Supreme Court of Alabama; cx-Chief Justice Brickell, and Jud H. A. Sharpe, of Birmingham, shall be constituted a board to whom all evidence regarding frauds 6ha!l be submitted. Their finding shall be accepted by both Jones and Kolb. Al abama Las no machinery for contesting elections, and Mr. Bowman's proposition a ems fair, in that all three of the judges are Jones Democrats. Bowman is willing to submit Kolb's case to Democrats who can have no reason for reporting against Jones, excej.t they find him elected by the grossest frauJs. Still Governor Jones' friends hesitate to submit to arbi tration. They have control of the elec tion machinery an 1 their only saft-ty is in keeping that control and with it the secrets of their manipulation of the vote of Alabama. If they should submit this election to arbitration the Republicans might want to show up in November. That would never do. It would show up the fraudulent Democratic majorities that have made Alabama Democratic for twenty years. Listening to a Dalusive Story. From ihc Chicago Inter Ootaii. "The American farmer," said Mr. Cleve land in his speech of acceptance of the Do m ocratic nomination, " is li-.tening to a delu aive ;?tory thai tilts his mind with visions of advantage, while his pocket is beinj robbtd by tbe stealthy hand of high Protection." This souads nicely. l!ut is the farmer ' listening toa delusire story?" "It is the evidence of statistics that the price of farm products has risen, oa an average of l'i.GT per cent, since the passage of the McKinley bill. There is nothing delusive about this. It is just as certain that farm produce has in creased in price as it is that suar has de creased in t rice. On the other Land, how is the stealthy hand of high Protection' robbing the pocket of the American firmer? Tbe same evi dence that proves the price of farm products to have risen, prores tbe price of nearly all manufactured products to have fallen. Ttie farmer gets more tor his wheat and pays less for his ugar, his nails, his wagous, his car pets, his shirting, the dresses of Lis wife aud children, tbe hou.-eholJ furniture, and for nearly all that Le b'iys. It is true that the shortest harvests of Ku rope have had much to do with higber prices of farm produce, but they have not had everything to dj with it. F.eciprocity has had something to do with it, anj will have more, and the like is true as to the increased duties on produce imported from the British possessions. Tbe more the American farm er "'ls his mind with visions" of the two plain farts that since the passage of the Mc Kinley bill the price of agricultural product has increased at the rate of 13 o7 per cent, and the price of msnufactured goods has fallen at the rate of 3.72 per ceut, the ics in clined will he be to "listen to the delusive storj ' of Candidate Cleveland. The Business View of the Cam paign. B.RKTABV RLKISS. It bas bevc demonstrated that the coun try distrusts the forces behind the Demo cratic iwndidate. Personally the country thought well enough of Clevel ind in 1 svj. yet it would have no more cf him for Presi dent, Personally, and also as an able exec utive, the Republican cautlidale ha won t it c-j:i liJccce of the people to a en-aler de gree than it was posteajed by Grover CltTe- Und ; aud General Harrison has tbe tre mendous additional advantage, with the business interest of all sections, and the prty behind him, that he is trus'worthy on ail subjects of fiaancj and commerce, with a general policy understood. Even many buiiness Iemocrats will regret the pass ;bi il ly of a change, and to prevent it will Tote for Harrison. My experience is that there fa no sentiment in business, and Very little in politic. ThU being a time of peace, the people look to and will favor the party that will best advance the business interests of the people. The purpose of Cleveland and his party is to break down protection, and plutpe the country into the doubt and un certainties, not to say tremendous disasters, that would follow such a change. Change is always fraught with danger, and that is one reason why the independent fcusiuess men of the country are lor General Huti-son. Tr-a Alabama Election. At the election in Alabama tbe other day, it b faid in th newt rvport, there waa the largest vote ever cart. It U even reported that a lari part of what the Southern chiv alry call the "datunijKeiV voted. In riew of thii fxtraordiiiary fact there r seteral poiola a'.out this election that are worthy of e-jwcial notice. Tbe "damniggcri" who voted, for tha most part Tcxed the Democratic ticket. It ia probable that many of them in other parts of tb South would be heard from aa having Toted on election day if thU were the ticket they Toted. The way it happened in Alabama was that there were two iHrmocratic ticla ta in the field, and neither ide ft It sure that its ticket could te elected without some "nigger" voles. Both tickets were white, both were Democratic, and. of coune, the whole buai nea was chiTalry. It i reported in the news from Alabama that one of these chiT alry announced to the other chivalry that any one who interfered with the "niggers" that wanted to vote its ticket would be shot " Ey Gawd, &ab !" From the fact that Alabama cast the larg est vote in her history is a fairly logical con clusion that the damniggem" were not in terfered with to any extent. The worthy geutieoien who are just now exercised with the fear of a "force" bill. Federal bayonets at the polia aud "nigger" supremacy in the South have reason to iew with alarm this development in Southern politics. Ia the case of Alabama there has been a threat offorce.it not an actual dis play of it, if the "damnisgers" were not al lowed to vote. The "damniggers" actually have voted. This would acem to consti tute a dangerous radical tendency of things, with threats of all sorts of dire results, from what we hear from opponent of the "force"' bill. Tt.e two points in the case that are calcu lated to auage anxiety are that the threat of violence came from Southern chiTilry and the -darunigsrers" voted the Democratic tiukeL The New Ballot Law. The state department has prepared and printed a large number of pamphlets con taining a digest of tbe new ballot law of the state. It gives under separate beads the duties of ihestateofficers interested in the holding of the elections, from governor down to the election officers. The right and duties of voters is clearly explained. ETery election officer in the state is entitled to one and should apply to tbe county commission eis for it without delay. John Morgan' Funeral. Cabm ichakl, Pa.. Aug. 11. John Morgan, the victim of the opposition of his children to his second marriage, died yesterday morn ing and was buried this afternoon. The funeral sen-ices were held at his late resi dence, the scene of the awful aud unnatural crime of which the deceased was the victim. There were fully l,Vi persons prcient and the procession that accompanied the remain to the grave was a mile and a half in length. At the inquest held on Satunliy facts wer adduced showing the story of the tragedy to be even more hideous than that publish ed. It was developed that the dead man's daughters, Jane, Rebecca and Callie are almost as much responsible for the death of their father as the son, Thomas. The Coroner's jury rendered a verdict that John Morgan was murdered by his son, but it is thought that the arrest of Jane and Re becca willlollow on charges of complicity. Callie Morgan, the daughter, who was shot by ..the first fire from Thomas's revolver when he commenced the fusilude on his father, is still hring, but her chances of re covery are not as good as they were yester day. Mr. Morgan made his will shortly before dying. Out of his large ertate he left the patricide i-)0, and said to '"let the law take its course." Young Morgan, who is in jail at Waynfsbnrg, was informed of his father death by the Sheriff, but said nothing. How They Did Lie! In a letter to the New York Yew, con cerning the session of Congress just closed, from Hon. Thomas B. Reed, the following statements were presented : I want to call your readers' attention to this simple fact, even at the expense of re iteration and of being tiresome. We ex pended 4C2,(-'U,oOO dollars the first session of the Fifty-first Congress. We were abus ed most roundly therfor. The lowest ures any Democrat can now make for thi Congress is $.V.0,ij0,Oi0. These figures are indisputable. The moral is indisputable. It djes sometimes seem a great pity that we haven't, we Republican", the power ef vitu peration. We see m to haTe no energy of characterization. Abusing, as the Demo crats have been in the wildest language, the appropriation of f liJ2,0ox),000 and then ap propriating filO.Ots.'.Oirt themselves means two things. It means that in tbe last cam Iign the Democracy were inaccurate, and that in the present House they haTe been detected. If we were in theirplaceand they in ours, I fear their language would be more adt -juste. A Raid on Convict Miners. Nasuville, Tesu., Aug. 11. Yesterday the free miners burned the convict stockade at Tracy City, then marched to the mines, ordered the convicts brought out and took charge of them and the guards, loaded them in box cars, and ordered the train to leave immediately. Being covered by guns the men in charge were obliged to obey. Governor Buchanan states that the con victs will be kept in the main prison till a new stockade can be built Tbe free miners are well supplied with amis and ammunition and it will be difficult to dislodge them should Governor Buchanan attempt to send the convicts back. Murdered His Employer. Taeknti m. Ta.. Aug. 1C Without a word of warning, Jarue Banks walked into the Slate Glass Works and struck Theodore M. Mollett on tbe bead with a baseball bat. crushing his skull. Mollett, who was the foreman of his department, will die.

To look deth in t!ie face, escape him and instantly fall hi victims such has been tbe sad fate of two sisters at Fairmont. Linie and Bertha Shu'.t, aged 20 and IT respectively, were toss ed violently to the ground from a farm wag on, the team having taken fright at the cars.

Governor Hantsd In Effigy. VinMiti. Tenn.. An. 1". Colonel II. Clay King whoee sentence for tbe murder of H. Pueton waa commuted ny uot- emur Buchanan lo imprisonmeat for life. n.rm.lf arerted lTncbinK to-n:ght by being hurtled coTertiy from Memphi Jail, by Ar.lr nf Jiu'm I hi hose, to the penitentiary at Nashville. There King was to have be- nin his terra cf life imnrisonment tomorrow or next day. But Uie Court, seeing the tem per of the people, who had called a mass m;n tA.niirht to cxoress iodigation, and . C, o " to hang the Governor in effigy, bad King hustled off to Nashville. it ;,wt IwM rermrted that a letter from ex-President Groyer Cleveland to the Gov ernor helped to secure King's coninwita tion. HOT A5Al tT OS THE GOVEBH0E. The temper of the ople as to the Gov ernor's act in commuting King sentence is fairly reflected in these quotation from an editorial in the Appcil-AxiaUiache : "If theGoTernir's determination of the King case is to be taken as a precedent, then we see no reason why any other criminal should ever be banged in Tennessee. King in cold blood, after careful deliberation, shot down David H. I Won, unarmed and unsuspecting. It was a high way assassination, in whii h the victim was given no chance to defend himself. There could not have been a murder more heinous. With a stroke of his pen, the tiovernor bas given hope to every murderer in tbe jails of Tennessee. He has rebuked the jury and made light of the State's highest tribunal of jastice, and it now remain for King's art to solve the question of hi freedom. TEEMED WORSE THAI THE XrRDEB. The tenitig ScimiUr says : "The Governor has spit upon the Court of the State and Nation, and held out hi hand to save an assassin in whose person was centered, and upon whose fate depended, the question whether money aud influence in the South was sufticieut to make a distinction between persons convicted of cold-blooded murder. The rescue of H. Clay King from the gallows to which all of the Court of the country, after a careful review of tbe evidence, had condemned him, was a crime more damna ble even than tbe murder ofPoston. ' If Buchanan should be shot down from behind a pillar on the portico of th Capi tol to-day, if King should be slain on his way to the penitentiary, who shall say that the gallows would bear fruit?" . These editorials are what arouse! the public to action and led to tbe immense mass meeting to-night. TBE uOVEESOB BABOED IX EKFIOY. After the rain had subsided to-night a crowd of people assembled at the corner of Main and Madison streets, the most central point in the city, and, after bang- ng in effigy Governor Buchaman to a tele graph pole, set the dummy on fire and watched it burn. There was no speaking indulged in. How to Vote. 1.

Shortly befoie 2 o'clock this morning three incendiary fires were started simultaneously in different fart of the Lehigh Valley freight yards, at East Buffalo. Tbe supposition is that the.-; fires were started by the strikingswitebnun. A strike was declared late Friday night by tbe switchmen on the Erie, Lehigh Valley and Buffalo Creek road, who want a 1U hour day and increased wages. Yesterday morning's incendiary work was a well-planned and well-executed plot, a tbe fire were started where tbe cars were thickest, no hydrants from which water could be obtained, and at a time when the yards were deserted. Eighteen freight cars, loaded with merchandise, and two passenger coaches, together with two office buildings were completely destroyed. The fire attracted a large number of rail road men to the scene, but there has been no other outbreak np to this hour. The police are now patrolling tbe yards and all is quiet The damage done will reach S?5,0o0. No am-st were made. Tbe fire lasted two hours.

Son Shoots Father and Son. Camkhaels. Pa- Aug. 12. Thomas Morgan, a well known young man of thi place, fatally shot his father and sister yes terday oftemoon. The trouble leading np to the deplorable affair was opposition to the prospective mar riage of John Morgan the father. Yesterday Tonne Morean protested with hi father against the marriage, but tbe lat ter was obdurate. This incensed the son, who drew a revolver and fired, but instead of hilling his father be shot his sister Callie. The ball took effect in tbe lungs, inflicting probably fata! wound. The father then fled, but the young man followed him to a vacant house, where he shot him six times. Youn; Morgan has not yet been arrested, bavine shut himself up in bis father's house His friends fear that he may kill himself. Embalmed Himself Alive. New Yore, Aug. 10. Michael Ferris, aged 24, died in St Catherine's Hospital last night, having swallowed embalming fluid, which he obtained at an undertaking estab lishment in Brooklyn and drank with sui cidal intent. He was discouraged, not hav ing been able to obtain work. He met a party of friends in front of the undertaker's, and went on in and took a bottle which stood on a shelf and laughing ly aaid that he would embalm himself be fore death. He succeeded. Insane Through Sympathy. Wilkesbarbe, Pa, Aug. 14. When pretty Florence Gresa, of this city, was betrayed by her lover, who is now serving a term in the Eastern Penitentiary, Miss Lulu Fell, her companion from childhood, nursed her until Bhe died. The trouble and anxiety of Miss Gress was communicated to ber devoted friend, and Miss Fell is now a maniac, and will be taken to Danville to-morrow. Two Deaths For A Disgrace. S-Vithville, Mo., Aug. 11. A son of Peter McCauley learned that his father had been intoxicated and was arrested for dis orderly conduct. Purchasing a revolver, he started for the prison, but met his father on the street with an officer. Without a word he shot tbe father dead and then put a bullet in his own brain. Held for Kidnaping-. Caelisle, Pa., Aug. 14. Charley Smith notorious traveling gypsy, was arrested here on Saturday, and is now in the county jail charged with tbe kidnaping of Helen, 7 years, and Lide, 3 years, daughters of Gaorge Neisley, of this city. He caught the children, gave them some pennies and candy, and on promise of more candy they were induced into the gypsy camp and their clothing changed.

Indiana Likely to be Republican Ac cording to Voorhees. WashiS'itos, Aug. 12. Senator Voorhfts is in Washington fresh from Indiana. Speak ing of the campaija iu that Slate he said : " We will have a great battle in Indiana over tha Presidential ar.d Senatorinl ques tions. The term of my colleague, Mr. Tur pie, will expire in March next I think on the legislative ticket we can safely count on a majority, but on the Presidency the result ia not so encouraging. President Harrison has many friends in our party, men who are ordinarily straight on the ticket, but with Harrison, one of their own fellow citi zens, at tbe head of the Republican ticket it would not be safe to predict about Indiana in the Presidential contest." Tne advices from New York as to tbe po litical situation there are more and more encouraging. The talk about divisions in the Republican ranks is purely an invention of the enemy. The party is daily becom ing more and more united and impatient to begin the campaign in tbe Empire Slate. The proposed visit of the President to New York to confer with the leaders has no ref erence to harmonizing anything, but simp ly affords an opportunity to see what has been done and hat is necessary to promote the interests of the party in the Empire State.

One of the school build ings and tbe stock stables were slightly dam aged. For a time it was feared there would be a stampede among the prisoners in ward A. Their frantic yells of " Let her go" and good, gxJ.'' was an evidence ot how much they were concerned iu tbe institu tion's misfortune. But a few were quieted at the sight of officers and loaded rifles. The brush factory contained considerable inrlsmmable material and many explosions took place.
