Last year our Democratic brethren were sorely troubled about " the Ux on the por man's dinner pail." Now the trouble is Low the pail is to be filled with dinner. The bombastic declarations of the Dem ocratic plalfimi contrast vivi3iy with the present Macedonian cry to Republi cans for help to repeal the silver pur chasing act. Ham; smashins is the first fruits of the Cleveland admiuU'.ration. V.'ait till Tar iff auianLiui; cummencts, and then you ill know what Democratic policy does for the country. Thk present Cnancia! troubles "are due to mistrust," cry the IVmei-rali.- organs. Weil, hat caused the mistrust ? There were no finan.-ial troubles during the Harrison Administration. Don't Like It. Fn-ia Ihe Kansas Ci:v Journal. Democratic editors think ex-I'resi.lent Harrison is doing too much talking. And so he is for their comfort. It is rumored that I'resident Cleveland will name Secretary Carlisle to succeed the '.ate Jndpe Klat hford on the Sufeme Court let b. Tl is is good ne s if true, as Carlisle has proved a signal failure as Secretary of the Treasury. Scarce. From the oWu Ji-umal. There are r-t'0 I 'emocrats in Gbio, but it looks as if the party bosses would bavetoorderadrafttDgeta man to rau against tiovernor McKinley. WHkAT last year, and year before, and year before that was seliinf at SO cents, '.X) cento and il per bushel ; and the same Sherman silver law was in force as now. liut somebody else was in force in the White Houie and in the United States Senate. Is the last twenty years the output of silver has more than doubled, and con sequently the price has fallen one-half, and yet it is pravely demanded that the government shall make one dollar's worth of silver worth two dollars. What is this but the old fiat money era ? Patronage Versus Sound Money. From Jbe St. Ltxii lilot IH'motrat. The extent of the Democratic vote on the sound money side depends largely on the nnmler of paying oiH.-es w hich Cleveland is willing to put at the dispos al of Congressmen. Where Democracy Is At. Fmm tlie Chicago luler Ocean. Rev. Sam .Jones says the Democratic party w ill '"mike a spoon or spoil a born in the next ninety days." They will like ly spoil a good many " horns" while ac complishing their task. Tiikke are millions of tons of coal now being put upon the market at a merely nominal profit to the mine owners, and the same is true of iron ores and of other so-called raw material, and if we are to have "tariff reform" and lower prices there is but one way to accomplish it, and that is by reducing wages. what Democracy Will Do. From the Atlanta Cuusiiiutiou. The iHsmocratic party is all right. Give it a ghost of a chance and it will redeem its pledges cut down the tariff to a reve nue basis, restore genuine bimetallism and repeal the 10 per cent, tax on State banks. T ii eke has been iuite a cumber of bank failure? of late, particularly in the West, but no man is uneasy wi:0 has a roll of National bank bills in bis poefcet. They are Republican bank notes, and he knows they are as good as gold, even if the bank is broken. Imagine what would le the result if they were the bills of w ild rat banks. The census shows that the annual out put of silver in the Unite.! States is about one-tenth the value of the hay crop each year, and yet the silver mine owners with their comparatively petty produc tion are threatening to break thine if Uncle Sam refuses to buy their product at theirow n prices. A sound Congress ional spanking is what they want. The " Robber" Tariff. Frmn tl Etuo Jta::oa. During ti e eleven months ending May HI, lStf, the imports which came in with out paying a dollar of duty amounted to f4T5,(HiO,00, whiletbe dutiable imports amounted to only JriVlnOiO. And this nndcr a law which the IVmocraU charge with -strangling trade." Jct take a look at some of the things d vomited and aiged by leading repre sentatives of the IemoTatic party re newed taxation on U,ooflee and sugar, Uk- reimtawition of an income tax, the rife! of the fohibitive 10 per cent. Ux n State bank issue, the free coinage of silver, the destruction of the protective tariff system in toto, and the abandon ment of the policy of reciprocal trade which ha proved so advantageous to the country. The assumption that every applicant for and every recipient of a tension is a knave until he proves himself to be hon est is a gratui'ous insult to the en!ire tody of men w ho fought for the Union, nd aortU of Mason and Dixon's line in 3igtiaiia is growing hot and fast t-ainst the present adeiinisiratioa of the pen sion laws.

Pnm. One year ago the prosperity of this na tion was at high water mark. Eighteen hundred and ninety two was the banner year of American industrial progress. Eurng the twelve months ending at midnight on the thirty-first day of last December the American people produced more and consumed more than in any year of their history. Our foreign trade broke all records.by its magnitude. The volume of our industrial production and of onr exchange of products among our selves went far beyond all precedent. We produced a million tons more of pig iron tUn in lSi'l. and f2,00u,000 tons more than Great Britain. We proJuwl :?XUiO tons of feteel rails more than in the preceding year. We consumed 5'.', OO.lW pounds more wool than in lS'.'I. Capital and labor were alike fully nd profitably employed. The factory heels revolved unceasingly. Wages were high er than ever before. Confidence was universal. Credit was freely extended. The integrity of the currency was assur ed. There were fewer commercial fail ures than in any year since 1SS2. The creation of wealth for the nation and competence for the toiler went on apace under the shield of America's second Declaration of Independence, the Mc Kinley law. Until the Bourbons and the Socialists elected Grover Cleveland there was eve ry prospect that the same conditions would prevail during ISi'S. The capital of the nation, the executive ability of its leaders of industry, the enterprise of its merchants and the skill of its trained workers were at the highest point on No vember 6 when the Democratic party triumphed on a platform that declared w ar on every American interest. With the election of Cleveland manufacturers andmerchanbsbepantotrim their sails in anticipation the coming etorm. With the inauguration of Cleveland the storm burst. Confidence vanished. Cred it lied. Capital hid itself. Securities in which a large proportion of the coun try's wealth was invested rapidly dwin dled in value till the loss to the people exceeded $,OM,lXi",000. Bank after bank w ent to the wall. The liabilities of com mercial failures for the lirat six months of the year were more than double those of the corresponding period of 1S!'2. Menaced by revolution, American indus tries cea.ed to expand and began to ret rograde. Production has fallen and wa ges have fallen with it. Every plate glass factory in the country hts shut down. The great iron mines of the Northwest have suspended iterations. Blast fur nace firet are being banked. Trade bal ances are against ua Textile mills are everywhere closing or restricting their product. The prices of wool and w heat have sunk to a ruinous figure. Tt:e farm er suffers w ith the merchant and the manufacturer. Tens of thousands of American workinginen who last year were busy and prosperous are idle and facing destitution to-day. The V asserts explicitly and direct ly that the prevailing conditions of disas ter have bsen brought about by the threat of I teinocra' ic free trade. It asserts that the loss of the people through the depre ciation of securities, the paralysis of cred it and the stagnation of industries w ould not hiive taken place if Benjamin Har rison had been elected instead of Grover Cleveland. Theiv challenge Demo cratic new spapers to deny this statement. Is there one Democratic organ that dares to assert that the disaster which has come upon the country since March 4 w ould have occurred if U-e Republican party had continued to control the government? A Battle With Outlaws. Ashi.a.vp, Kv., July 21. Word cornea from Pikevillr of a bko.iy conflict across the Slate line in Wise county, Va., some dayi aibt;reen the State miiitia and out law Fiemens's boys Half a dozsn or more were killed. "!" Taylor, one of the gang, was caught otue months ago and hanged and the brothers, four in number, are wauted for complicity in ibe murder. Two weeks ago tbey were located in Wise county, and the Governor of Virginia sent a coniany cf 00 soldiers to assist the shtrirT. The outlaws were nurrouniied and a bushwhacking sijge of three days ensued. Calvin Flemeni was mortally wounded and captured early in the f'u'ht. but the three other brothers killed a la'f dozen militiamen and succeeded in getting higher up in the hills, where friends are reported to be going to their assistance. As the Elemens and their friends are all dead flic's and desperate men, the ultimate result is a matter of anxious speculation, Eor years the Eiemens boys and an in numerable following of relatives have ter rorized the mountakious regions of south west Virginia and southwest Kentucky, defying alike the authorities cl first one ;tate and then the other. The family stands charged with almost all the crimes on the calendar from murder and stealing down to mooiifchining. Every member of the family is utterly fearlcs and ail are well armed. Their rtronghold in the caves of the C umberland mountains are many and almost inaccessible. About eight months ago a family of three were attacked in their cabin, the man shot at the door, his wife brutally treated and then shot, as was aiso their child. They were left for dead, but the woman live J long enough to make an ante mortem state ment to the effect that the Flemens' weie the guilty parties. Eor a long time no efiort was made to arrest them. Finally the sheriff of Wise county secured the co-ope ra tion of thu Sta. and. backed by mihla CO strong and each member sworn in as a deputy, tried lo capture the Eiemens, but failed. Water Sold as Beef. PiTTMit su, Pa , July 21. A cruel scheme has been detected here, which may, involve Philadelphia cattle dealers, ft has been diMXvered that cattle ship;ied from Chicago are not watered until they reach Philadel phia, so that iu the latter city they are able to drink about TO pounds of water before sold to the butchers. Humane Agent T. M. Porter has been on the lookout for a week. The trip from Chicago to Philadelphia re quires To hour. The custom was to give the cattle water at Akron, 0., and at East Liberty, Pa. Porter found that the men wbo took the cattle from the cars at Eat Liberty to the ug watering troughs lir.t drained off all the water, so that the suffering animals did Lot pet a drop. Thie process ail occurs at night. Agent Porter biya the agony of the cattle is frightful and they trample each other even to lick the wet boards. It is proposed to s.-nsttbemtn who are engaged in tlia abominable business. A Snitkt Squeeze's Effect. IUxiit BV, Cosh.. July 21.

When picked up Fraleigb had hold of a big black suake, which, was coiled about his neck. The ser pent did not bite. Every day aince at the same hour that the snake wound itself around the man's neck, he has been taken with choking spasms and fits of strangulation and is growing weaker every day. The case is being watched by local physicians, whose efforts to allay bis Buffeting have thus far tailed. btate Normal School.

The LOxaie says that France will seize and hold Battambang and Angkor as guarantees that her demands will be satisfied, and that tue French gunboats will probably go down the river, shell and destroy the Paknan forts, and then return to their positions before Bangkok to bom bard the palace. Some painful measure is necessary, adds this journal, for the preser vation of France's prestige. 1US tITl ATlOB CE1TRAL. Los dos. July 24. A dispatch from Paria states that the blockade of the Siamese coast wiil become effective on Thursday or Fri day next. The Franco-Siamese complica tions have been the one absorbing topic In the lobbies of the House of Commons to day. Tbe kituation is regarded with appre hension by all parties, and but news from Bangkok and Paris is read with as much anxiety as eagerness. On all sides regret is expressed that the British war-ahips in Si amese waters were not reinforced a mouth ago, as the British interests in Slam out number the French a hundred to one. This afternoon a Cabinet council was sum moned at the instance of Ixrd Boseberry, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The only subject discussed was the situation at Bangkok. Half Ratea to the World'a Fair by the Pennsylvania Railroad In order to afford an opportunity to the public to visit the World's Fair, tbe Penn sylvania Bail road Company has decided to run a series of popular excursions from Washington and Baltimore and other eastern cities to Chicago. The round trip from Washington and Baltimore will be (17.00, and proportionate rates, a single fare for the round trip, will prevail from other stations. This arrangement applies to all principal stations on the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad, the Northern Central IUilway be tween Baltimore and Elmira, Philadelphia and Erie Railroad between Willianuport and Benovo, and principal stations on the main line and branches between Harrisburg and Pittsburg. Tie parties will becanied on special trains composed of the neweat and beat standard passenger coaches, containing all modern convenience. Tbe special trains will leave Washington 10.1.", Baltimore 11 20 A. M., York 1 15 P. M. Harrisburg 3.2o P.M., Altoona 7.40 P. M., tid Flopping at principal intermediate stations, arrive iu Chicago 5.20 the next afternoon. The first excursion is fixed for July 26th, other are fixed for August 2d, 12th, and 2.1d. The return coupons of these tickets will be good within ten days, and will be accepted fjr passage only on trains leaving Chicago at 3 15 P. M. and 11.30 P. M. An Admiral To Hang. If for no other reason, the vast extent and resources of the Brazilian Bepublic give importance to political and insurrectionary movements that if occurring in less promt nent South American states would be almost unnoticed by the outside world. The latest informatian from Brazil, to the effect that Admiral Wandenkolk is a prisoner, on his way to Rio Janeiro, is therefore of great interest. A distinguished naval officer, of long and honorable experience in tbe service of Brazil, both as empire aud republic, Admiral Wandenkolk aspired to tbe chief place in tbe cation. Because he was dis appointed in his ambition be joined tbe cause of the revolutionists in Bio Grande do Sul. A powerful naval force was sent to crush him, and be has fallen into the hands of his enemies. As he bas already been proclaimed a traitor at Bio Janeiro, he will doubtless be shot. The capture of Admiral Wandenkolk does not put an end to the rising in Bio Grande do but, whure the insurgents have a strong force on land, but it deprives tbe rebels of all assistance at sea, and will greatly strengthen the cause of the national gov ernment in public opinion and give the national forces a prestige that should ef fectively help them in subluing tbe state rights rebellion. Hoke Smith's Victims. Allextows, July 21. Democratic sol diers and pensioners who voted for Cleve land last fall under the belief that the pension system would not be seriously disturbed are indignant over Secretary Hoke Smith's re cent order. A number of old pensioners have been dropped from the roll. Among tbem is Major Edmund R. Newhard. 73 years of age, late captain of Company K. Fifty-fourth Regiment, Pennsylvania Infantry Volun teers. For several years be bas been draw ing pension at the rate of $12 per month. Major Newhard is totally disable!. He is a member of one of the oldest families aud has always stood well in Democratic circles, and for two terms was Register of Wills. He is in needy circumstances and the little stiend of 1 12 per month was absolutely needed by him. Another case is that of Josijah Lenta, 71 years of aije, residing near tbla city. H served four years in the army as a private in Company B. Fifty-seventh Regiment, Penn sylvania Volunteers, and since November, lv.fJ, had been drawing a (tension of $12 per month. IU is totally disabled. There are other cases of dropping from the pension rolls in this city and vicinity. Twelve Daye at Atlantic city. The third of tbe series of excursions to Atlantic City, via Baltimore and Ohio Bail road, will be run on August 3d. Ample pro vision will be be made for tbe accommoda tion of those availing themselves of the low rates and superior train service to enjoy a respite by the seaside. The scenery en route is unsurpassed by that of any other route in America. Tickets will be valid for return journey for twelve days from day of sale, and will be good on all regular trains. Oa return jour ney they will be good to stop off at Wash ington, thus affording an opportunity to visit tbe numerous public buildings, which are open to visitors free of charge, and to take a trip down tbe Futomao to UL Vernon, tbe tomb of Washington, as well as to visit other places of interest in and near Wash ington.

Tbe JIW4 to day forecasts tbe immediate policy of President Cliveiand and his Administration in regard to the approaching special session of (kn gress. Brietly it will be as follows : First Silver reform by the absolute and unqualified repeal of the Sherman law. Second Tariff reform lo beprosec jUd in accordance with the pledges of the party as saunas, but not before, tbe finances of the country are again upon a stable basis. This policy does not mean postponement of tar. fl reform, but the accomplishment of that reform in a reasonable, logical and con servative fashion. To the President's mind the silver ques tion is an obstacle unexpectedly springing up in the path projected fur financial and taxation reform. It must be disposed of once and for alt before substantial progress can be made. i. . r, rati. lU Jli 1 us a. a i.uu I...7 ... 7.40 3 la r. X. t.Ja 9 06 1CD 11 1 11-17 l.ub a. K. s. l-i.02 T.

Hiram Weeks, of Minneapolis, a veteran who served four years in the Federal army during the late war. bas received notice that bis pension of $0 per month will be discontinued. While in the service he passed through 41 battles, one of which was Gettysburg. He is now very near death from gangrene of tbe foot and various other complaints, some of which have been traced directly to his exposure in the army. The only reason which can be found for the cutting off his pension is the incomplete and one-sided report which was sent to Washington by tbe St. Paul Board of Examiners, who refused to look at bis foot at the last examination. Week's case has created considerable feel ing among G. A. R. circles in this city and prominent parties have interested themselves in securing the renewal and increase of bis ension. Detsoit, Mich., July 21. Tbe suspension of a no less distinguished pensioner than Justice Charles Deau Long, of the Michigan Supreme Court, bas created a sensation. Few soldiers in this State suffer from wounds as severe as those of Justice Long. At the battle of Wilmington Island, Ga., he lost his left arm, and be was also shot through the hips and abdomen. This latter wound has still to be dressed twice daily. Although the order of suspension bears tbe date of June 27, Mr. Long bas not yet re ceived official notice of its continuance. The notice of suspension is a brief, formal docu ment and gives no clew as to the reasons which have influenced the coarse of the de partment. The order givd the tension cer tificate number, which shows that there could have been no mistake or confusion of names. When Boycotts are Legal. St. Pacl, July 21. A very important de cision has been handed down by the Su preme Court, which bas an important bear ing on labor and capital. It is the case of tbe Bobn Manufacturing Cumiany, of this city, versus W.C. Hollis,et al., representing tbe Northwestern Lumbermen's Associa tion. The Bohn Manufacturing Company was a member of tbe Association, and the Coi'stitution provides that no wholesale deal er shall .sell goods at any place at less prices than retail dealers. The Bohn Company was accused of violating the agreement and was threatened with a boycott. The Bohn Com pany served an injunction on Secretary Hol lis, on tbe grounds that its business would be seriously injured by such action. The lower court sustained the plea and granted a permanent injunction against the boycott. The order of the lower court was reversed by the Supreme Court, for the reason that the Bohn Company, being a member of the Association, should conform to its rules. The court holds that aDy man, unless un der contract obligation, or unless his em ployment charges him with some public dutr, has a right to refuse to work for or deal with any man or class of men he sees fit, and this right, which on man may exer cise singly, any number of men may exercise Jointly. " This is the age of associations and labor unions," continues the court. " Confined to their proper limits, they are not only law ful but laudable. Carried beyond these limits, they are liable to become dangerous agencies for wrong and oppression. Beyond what limits these combinations cannot go without interfering with the legal rights of others is the problem which the courts wiil, doubtless, be frequently called to pass up on." Tired of Being a Chump. In his room, at No. 3 Ellets avenue, Phila delphia, George Clifford Wright was found dead, and whether his death was due to nat ural causes or to a dose of poison taken with suicidal intent, is a mystery that the coroner must solve. Wright was in the last stages of consumption, and his death may Lave been due to that disease, but be left behind him several letters full of grim humor in the face of death that point strongly to the tbeorj of premeditated sui cide. There were no nrks of violence on the body, neither was there any weapon of destruction near it, but on the table near tbe bed were several notes and a postal card. Tbe latter, dated July Hl'.b, and addressed to " Tbe Professor of Hahnemann Hospi tal," was a very strange substitute for a will. The deceased therein bequeathed to tbe Hahnemann Hospital the .only thing he had in this world his body. Tbe postal said : " Dsaa Si : Cut my body spend show the young cranks bow a chump is made. I have been a chump ever since I became a man. I am tired of being imposed upon. 1 owe nobody anything; have no money, and no friends. I am tired of living. Don't let my friends hsvs my body, for I hate them alb Yours, A Chimp." Whipped Their Boys in Open Court. HAKBonestRii, Ky., July 21. Eight thinly-clad negro boys, ranging in age from 8 to 14 years, whipped with great vigor by their several mothers, was the novel spectacle seen in the police court yesterday. Tbe lads were caught breaking into a house whose owners wese absent. They were arraigned beifre Judge Caldwell, and using bis discre tion, he called tbe mothers of the young offenders into Court, aud proposed that if they wuuld give the boys a first-class whip ping in court he would not send tbem to tbe penitentiary. The women eagerly accepted the proposition. Yesterday the space n front of tbe judge's bench was oleared ; tbe mothers seized their eight struggling sons, and rawhides fell with terrible force on tbe backs of tbe cnlpriu. There was a yelling that startled the people for tbe next 13 minutes. Once the judge interfered to prevent too serious a beating for on or two of the boys. When he thought they were sufficiently punished the judge stopped tbe affair, and the bowling lads were led down the street. The Champion Snake Story. A New Brighton, (Pa., correspondent says that yesterday afternoon Martin Bates, with bis wife and a little daughter, was driving into town from Zelienople, and while pass ing through a wooded hollow at Black House Bun, abiacksnake dropped from the overhanging branches of a tree, and alighted squarely in the lap of Mrs. Bates. Scream ing with terror, as tbe slimy body of tbe snake wriggled from her lap on to the floor of the vehicle, where her little daughter sat. Mrs. Bates attempted to leap to the ground Her dress caogbt in tbe wheel, and the horse frightened by her screams, started to run. dragging ber along the road. Mr. Bates beld 6 roily to tbe horse and soon checked him. In the meantime tbe snake wriggled out of the buggy and fell between the wheels which ran over at.d disabled it so badly that it was easily dispatched by Mr. Bates after be bad rescued bis wife from the wheels of tbe vehicle. Mrs. Bates was sorely bruised and ber face badly cut, but otherwise she was not much injured. Tbe snake measur ed more than fire feet in length, and bad a white ring around its neck, characteristic of tbe racer family. Wished to be a Church Member. Philadelphia, July 23. When Joel Reed to-day presented himself at the altar in tbe Union Methodist Churcb, Camden, to be admitted on probation, bis wife caused a sensation by standing up and objecting to ber husband becoming a member.

As sistance came and Willie was rescued, but bis two brothers were drowned. A dispatch from San Francisco says : Pol iticians have not yet recovered from the sur prise over the appointment of George C. Per kins to succeed Stanford in tbe Unite I States Senate.

There now seems to be nothing in sight ca'eulated to raise the price of the commodity, but on tbe contrary, it is probable that wool will be bought in this country this summer for l-i cents. Wool growers generally kick very hard about sell- iug their holdings for 20 cents, but in spite of that thousands of pounds can be bought at that figure. Sunday night the jail at Memphis, Trnn.. was broken into by several hundred men at miduigbt, and Lee Walker, a repulsive black man, aged 22 years, was taken out aud strung up to a telegraph pole near the bank of Wolf river aiid a few hundred yards from the jail. Afterward his body was cremated in tbe yard of a lumber firm near by. Tbe negro was a native of North Mississippi and his calendar of crimes is among tbe blackest in history. Within the past week be bas made four attempts to commit rape, two be ing successful, one victim being a small col ored girl three and a half years old, who was badly lacerated, and the other a mar ried woman of his own ' -lor.
