It is alleged 66 a reason w hy Po'ithern
IVuiocrats are so fiercely anxious for the
repeal of the Federal election laws, that
the Democrats of Georgia and other
Sjiithern Sates arc leaving their party in

We suggest to the candidates on our
connty ticket that they l ave a duty to
perform in petting tbe republican Vote to
the polls. They have no right, because
of their assured ei-, tion, to sit down and
take their ease. Let theui dis lay a little

Tiikv.B apjiears to I no longer any
Vubt that the President Las lost Lis
gn'pon bis rty. ThU extraordinary
ws-ion of C-ongres, summoned especial
ly to repeal tbe silver purchasing Act,
has now dragged its slow length along
for two weary months and repeal, not
withstanding the best e Jjits of the Pres
ident and bis friends, is no nearer to-day
than when the session waa convened.
The Democrats are irretrievably divided
on this question, and it looks to-day as if
the Administration was whipped and
would be f.rced t accept a compromise
dictated by the recalcitrant in its on
party ranks. We think " nncondional
repeal" has gone a glimmering.

prehend that it will be found w hen the
day for action arrives that there will be
msistance upon the refunding of the cot
ton tax, and the allowance of other
Southern war claims with which the cal
endar is i'Urthened, as a v'" pro io for
the f aymci.tof Pennsylvania's indisput
ably just and legal claims. Holding that
the lebellion was right and justifiable,
Southern representative will be found
insisting that the losses of their brethren
during the war shall ah be made good
to them. We apprehend that a Demo
cratic Congress, controlled by Southern
men, a large portion of whom were active
participants iu the waragainst the I'nion,
does not constitute a tribunal btfow
which tbe damage incurred by Northern
Union lien will be allowed, nnlesa an
eq-.lvalent is granted by an allowance of
their illegal and preposterous claims.
Dnusu thedisctnnion lajt week of the

U.is question he has taken a stand adverse
to the views of a wt majority of the
people whoe representative he U Eup-pte-l
to be. The issue is not a political
one, but nevertheless it materially and
vit!ly effecu every business interest of
! the country, and is of paramount impor
tance to every citizen of the Common
wealth. Both the great political parties
and ev-ry tiade organization in the .State,
eo fr as they have expressed their views,
are oppcwJ to the position taken by Mr.
I'-mitron-arid his followers in this unfor

It is time I t the Ke publicans of Som
erset County to get iulo their fightirg
clathea. It is but little more than a
month ant':! election day w ill be here,
and yet not a thing has been done to
further the interests of onr candidates.
We have a first-class State ticket and a
rcoet excellent County ticket offered for
our bupport, and they ought to and
doubtless will receive the vote of every
republican who gra to the polls. Bat
so certain and fixed is cur tnnjority in
tLis county that many voters Labitualiy
say "Oh, the ticket is sure to be elected
anyhow, and I believe I will rot go to
the election." This is wrong, radically
rone: everv candidate on the ticket is
entitled to an earnest support. Some of
them may not have beec your choice, but
all were honettly iiominated after a fair
contest and should receive every repub
lican vote polled. Only in this way can
party organization 1 kept up and party
supremacy be maintained. We have
beard of no grumbling, no complaints, no
kicking ; the ticket is acceptable in ev
ery portion of the county. What we
wtnt and w hat w e deaiand U a full tarn
out of the vote. A rousing majority will
then be assured.
A vast deal of bitterness and rancor
is cropping out in the Hou.- in the de
bite over the repeal of the Federal elec
tion laws. Fjt the purpose of rallying
cad solidifying the Ee:uo.'rats w ho are
hopelessly divided on the silver bill, the
S iulhem leaders have taken t vigorous
ly waving the bloody shirt, and the issues
of the days of reconstruction are being
ajain brought to the fiont. "D n a
nigger anyhow" is the rallying cry, and
notice is duly served that " the Caucasian
w ill rule." There Li no denial made of
the frauds perpetrated o:i the ballot, but
they are attempted to be justified by tbe
declaration that after the war "the States
were Mexican-zed, the white people ot
the South had to submit, or resort to fraud
to get back control The time will
never co:ne w hen negroes can be organ
ized by any political Firty to again con
trol au 1 c ictaminate these States."
cu.-e in preent control of the gov
ernment, these Southern braggart., manv
of w hom hold their seaU by frauds, are
determined tt perpetuate their power by
repealing the Federal election laws, the
only check on their political villainies,'
and as usual drive their Northern apolo
gists and party a-Kociates into supporting
the lawless bravado and unmitigated
scoundre'.ifctn of which ti.ey boast. With
these laws repealed, as they will be, not
the slightest check on bulldozing and
fraud will V;e left remaining, not a single
republican member will again be r turn
ed fioin a Southern State, and with the
fraudulent vute that Tammany will be
able to return in New York, Democratic
control of the government is nearly well
assured.
Is a little over four weeks the election
will be npon us, and as yet there is no
activity apparent in the republican
ranks. It is true that the result in Penn
sylvania and in Somerset county is a fore
gone conclusion, but republicans should
not sleep upon their irms. With the
Democrats in po?sefion of the Executive
and Legislative branches of the Federal
government, with business paralyzed by
the threat of lm trade, with triouian lii
of men out of employment and without
the power to earn their daily bread, mills
ac.I iniues closed, and looms and spindles
id'e, it is the duty of Pennsylvania to
protest by an overs helming Republican
majority against the policy of the party
in power, that has brought desolation to
her age earners and calamity toLerin
dusiries. While protection to our prod
acts is no! an immediate iseue of this
cimpa:gn, yet indirectly tbe taiiiT issue
L of paramuunt importance, and the
wishes and feelings of our people will be
measured and estimated by the magni
tude of the Republican vote polled. A
bill is now being prepared by the Demo
cratic free-traders in Congress for the
overthrow of our present tariff and the
abolition of all protective duties, and it
is their constant and insolent boast that
the country deliberately declared in favor
of this policy by a nuj )rity of votes at
the last elect ion. IVnnsy Ivanians at least
should prove by their voles at the coin
ing election bow determinedly they pro
test against and repudiate the intimation
thai they favor free Ira le. Protection to
our industries and their products has
ma le us the greatest and most prosjr-
ous of ad our sister Commonwealths and
to s:lent!y ac-jaiesce in the overthrow of
the one and the destruction of the other
would justly place us in the class of imbe
ciles, unworthy of our inheritance. It is
therefore the duty of every Republican
to emphasiz his opinions in this crisis
by his votj.
Quay Squelched Peffer.
Mjor Carson, Washington correspondent
of the Philadelphia Laljer, relates the fol
lowing incident as occurring in the Senate .
If Senator p lay's practical notion of do
ing things would be followed by acoLsider
ab!e number of Senators, tbe time of the
Senate would be more profitably employed
than it has been tbe past few weeks. The
" courtesies of the Senate'' are so strictly ob
served that an appeal from an individual
Senator for perminsion to occupy time for al
most any purpose is rarely denied. Tbe ac
tion, therefore, of Senator tiay yesterday in
reference to the resolution of Senator PcITAt,
j asking for m: rniation from the Treasury
Ivpartmeiit a'out piying iuterest in ad
vance on the bonded bebt, sounded harsh in
the Senate, and surprised tbe Senatorial bat
and owls in tbe chamber. The debate on
PeiK-r's lime k Iling resolution had been in
progress for over half an hour, when Mr.
ijuay arose and nude a speech, which waa
brief, pointed, nanwerab!e anj eff-ctive.
'' Mr. President," said Mr. y lay. in his qui
et, but incisive manntr, I rise simply to
say that I repard tbe resolution of the Sena
tor from Kansas as trivial and blocking tbe
way of an important discussion. Therefore,
1 move t) lay the resolution on tbe table."
Mr. (j-iaj't opinion of tbe character and
purpose of ttie resolution wai endorsed by
the Senate, and it was carried to the table by
a vote of 27 to 1 9. Th is com mon-sense business-like
and couragooas action of Senator
Juay might be profitably followed by tbe
manager! of the repeal bill. Mr. yuay evi
dently does not beiieTe in halting to ex
cbange courtesie with the enemy during
the progress of a battle, when to do to ia to
delay nd risk tbe important issue involved.

Washiv;Tux, Spt 2;. Still the question
of silver purchase repeal remains at the front.
In the Senate tbe psst wk has been little
toore than a reetition of the previous weks
since tbe session began. The net result of
ail efforts thus far to bring tbe Repeal bill
la a vote in tbe Senate is an agreement which
went into force this week to extend the
length of tbe daily sessions of the Senate
two hours, but w.th no suggestion of a date
for closing the debate Ail steps for a con
tinuous session or the adoption of a closure
rule have apparently ben at least temparar
i'y abandoned. Tne press of the country
continues to sbowtr adverse, impatient,
iea denunciatory criticism upon the Senate
because of the delay. It ia noteworthy,
however, that wbersas the harsher crilie:n
was until recently rewved for the minority
silver men, it U row largely directed ajainst
tht majority because of their failure to force
tbe fixing of a limit to the debate. The
features of tbe week have been tbe personal
abase of President Cleveland by Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, and Senator Cameron's
desertion of bis party and his state by going
over to the freetllverites.
The House meanwhile was allotted the
time from September 33 to October 10 to the
discussion of the bill to repeal the Federal
Election Laws. It is expected that unless tbe
silver purchase repeal bill is disposed of by
the Senate belore tbe Election bill U seut
over from the House, the latter measure
will bring matters in the Senate to a crisis.
The House, Ways aud Means committee has
closed its tarifl heariufS, and it is intimattd
that the committee will be ready to report a

WlLSOtt's rAKAIXiIlCAL TALK.
representative Wilson, chairman of the
House Ways and Means committee, talks
in paradoxes about tbe new tariff bill. He
starts out by saying that the new bill will
be exactly what was promised by the Chica
go platform a tari3 for revenue only, with
out any incidental protection, and then
winds up with the assertion that no estab
lished American industry will be injured by
the bill. Now, any school boy knows that
one or the other of these statements is
wrong. A tariff for revenue only is a tarifl
thai ill the mot largely increase the im
part at ion of foreign goods, and the more for
eign goods consumed in tbe Vnited States
the les demand there will be for domestic
goods of the same kind, and the natural
congruences will be closing American facto,
ries. The only theory upon which Mr. Wil
son's statements can be reconciled is that be
does not consult r " established" those Amer
ican industries that rr,iire protection from
foreign competition. There is going to be a
big li.tit in the Democratic party on this
question the number of femocratic pro
tectionist is larger than many suppose and
events are making daily additions thereto.

A com promise is being freely discued

Forty Men EntomDea.
Isiirxxisu, Mich., Sept. -29. A big cave
in occurred at the Mansfield mine, a few

A Novel Exhibit.
HAELisBt-Ei;, Oct 1. At 1230 to-night
the Indian special with 5o0 students and
the entire faculty of tbe Indian Training
School, at Carlisle, on board, steamed out
i route to the World s Fair. Capt. R. H.
Pratt, projector and principal of tbe institu
tion, hopes to show to tbe world the advan
tages of bis plan of making the Indians
useful and self-supporting citizens. He
favors the breaking up of tribal relations
and the herding of the aborigines on
reserva ions. This trip to Chicago is uni.jue
in its way, and no school has ever attempted
such an excursion at its own expense. Tbe
Indian boys and girls are paying all their
own expenses from tbe earnings of the past
six months.
In tbe party is a band of 32 pTecas and a

Horrors of a Pest Ship.
Niw Y'cEK.Sept 27 Captain- Black, of
tbe steamer Hogarth, which arrived this
morning from Santos, brings a story of
'"man's inhumanity to man" which is most
heartrending.
Captain Black states that while at Santos,
September 2, be was informed that the Ital
ian steamer Yiucer.ro Flori, from Genoa
August 2J, for Rio Janeiro, loaded with iin
m grants, and which bad been refused ad
mission to tbe ports of Brazil, owing to chol
era aboard, had for some days been lying
outside tbe harbor of Santos, in a helpless
condition. Tbe deaths on board the plague
stricken s'eamer were reported to be from
twenty to thirty daily, and the bodies of tbe
unfortunate victims, together with their
clothing and bedding, were thrown over
board and washed ashor; near Santos, to tbe
great consternation of the inhabitants of
that vicinity.
It was supposed that the unfortunate
steamer was without medical assistance or
supplies, and hi j insufficient provisions or
coal to proceed farther.
Tbe steamer had previously been refused
permission to land at R'o Janeiro, tbe port to
which sbe was bound, and at tbe island of
Liba Grande, sixty-eight miles southwest of
Rio, sbe bad been not only refused permis
sion to land, but had been ordered to pat to
sea without delay. Tbe steamer then pro
oeded to San to , where sbe was also refused
permission to enter tbe port.

Harrison Stills a Panic-
Ex-President Harrison p'syed a heroic
part in the Indiana celebration at the World s
Fair, Wednesday. While the exercises at the
Slate Building were in progress the crowd
became unmanageable. Many women taint
ed. A panic threatened. Mr. Harrison was
speaking, but, raising his voice so that all
could hear, he called on the crowd to move
back.
Then hurrying to the edge of the platform
he reached over and caught a fainting wo
man. Governor Matthews came to bis aid
and the woman was carried away. Mount
ing a chair, the ex-President shouted to the
throng that it must be still if it would pre
vent serious accideu!. When the worst of
the trouble was over. General Harrison re
sumed bis address.
Scores of thousands of Iadisuians attend
ed the celebration. In his speech Mr. Har
rison made some complimentary remarks
abont Chita, o, but added that Indiana did
not feel nnder obligations to the World's
Fair city for her prixe fighters or train rob

After Cleveland's Chair.
Washijujtox, Sept. 24. This morning
shortly before ten o'clock a white man,
twenty-eight years of age, in some unex
plained way found bis way into the lower
regions of the While House, and meeting
the colored cook said to her : " I want to see
father."
" Who ia your father," the cook asked
him.
" Mr. Cleveland, of course," was his re
sponse. Just then Policeman Heller appeared
npon tbe scene and saw at a glance that the
man was not altogether right and so he dealt
with him accordingly,
' Your father is out in the garden, come
with me and we will find him," said the po
lice. Arm in arm they started toward the door
the intruder thinking he was going to meet
the president, but the offlser knew that be
would land him at tbe watch box.
On their way tbe officer asksd tbe man
what he wanted in the Whit- House.
" I want that chair," was his response.
What chair?"
" The President's chair."
" Don't you think the president fills it
satisfactorily ?"
No I don't and I intend to get it by fair
means or foul. Give us each a pistol aud I
wiil show who will get it d d quick."
When they got tt the watch box, they
found Policeman Hible on duty. Before
that officer knew what was going on the
prisoner grabbed the policeman's blackjack
from his pocket, evidently thinking he was
going to get a pistol. He tried to use ibe
club on theofU-ter, but both officers grabbed
him and tbe struggle lasted but a few
minutes before the man was overpowered.
Tbe crauk was conveyed to tbe police sta
tion where be gave the name of Joseph
Washington and said be came from Penn
sylvania. A charge of being a suspicious character
was filed against him.

Same Old Bunco Story.
Eitleb, Sept 2. About ten days ago a
business like man called on Farmer Nicho
las Mangel, living six miles south of here,
and talked of land investments and depart
ed leaving a pleasant impression with Man
gel. He returned to day and played cards
with Mangel, who won $o.OO.
Mangel came to Butler and drew $.0O"i
from tbe bank, then joined bis friend, who
was to produce a like amount Mangel's
money was deposited in a tin box, which
was placed in a buggy, and the twain started
back to Mangel's bouse to finish the game of
cards Along tbe road they met a man anx
ious to catch a train at this place. The box
supposed to contain the money was given
to Mangel, who went borne, while his
friend obligingly drove the strange man lo
tbe train. Mangel opened the box and
found a board wrapped in paper.
Murderer Pleads Guilty.

as in tbe case of Benjamin F. Tennis, the
fiendish slayer of pretty little Agnes Cool er
A" right Tbe ou'.nge and murder occurred
last week, but the criminal was nut captund
until yesterday. Tennis was arrested near
Humnielstown, not far from the scene of
the crime, and brought here. He confessed
yesterday and was indicted. To da? be was
taken into Court to plead to tbe indictment.
When be arose in tbe prisoners' dock, and
was told to say whether he was guilty or
not, be replied that he was guilty.
"You understand what yon are doirg.
You know how yon are pleading?" said
Judge McPherson."
"Yes, sir," answered Tennis.
"Under the circumstances the Court will
accept your plea and it will be recorded,"
said the Court, "but we will hear tbe
testimony at any time the District Attorney
will set"
Tbe murderer was then led back to jail,
and it is probable that some day this week
tbe evidence will be heard and he will receive
the death sentence.

In tbe trial of the prosecution of Yalen
tine Ocbs, of Taint township. Clarion coun
ty, a?ainst Austin Hess for cattle stealing
Hess being convicted of receiving stolen cat
tie it was developed that Hess and several
others form a secret society, which they
called " the cattle lodge," about 15 months
ago for the purpose of stealing rattle. Sub
sequently, it is said, a number of persons in
surrounding counties, with criminal procliv
ities, j lined the lodge. Each member there
of, on joining, was required to pay an initi
ation fee of 13 and to take an oath to reveal
nothing concerning any member of the so
ciety and to do all in his power for the relief
of any member who sbouid get into trotib'e

The net State deot no amounts toonly

called square all round in two years should
the Legislature so decide. The sinking
fund is really sufBcient to meet every do.lar,
and the State's resources, already drawn
upon fir a -iw,0J public school appro
pria'ion annually, may soon be directed to
perfecting a comprehf nsive system of road
improvements. Tbe common highways of
the Commonwealth are in a tortuous con
ditiou. An tfiicieut road law, similar, ray,
to the plan ia operation iu New Hampshire,
would add to the value of farming land and
open sections to agriculture now closed to
development bxwu-e of the impossibility of
marketing the harvests and crops. A road
law assisting the private enterprise of resi

The Fountain Head of Strength.
When we recollect that the stomach is the
grand laboratory in which food is transform
ed into the secretions which furnish vigor to
tbe system after entering and enriching the
blood ; that it is, in short, tbe fountain bead
of strength, it is essential to keep this im
portant supplying machine in order, and to
restore it to activity when it becomes in
active. This Hosteller's Stomach Bitters
does mnet effectually, seasonably, regulating
and reinforcing digestion, promoting due
action of the liver and boweis. Strength
and quietude of the nerves depend in grat
measure upon thorough digestion. There
is no nervine Ionic more nighly esteemed by
tbe medical fraternity than tbe Bitters.
Physicians also strongly commend it for
chills and fever, rheumatism, kidney and
bladder trouble, sick bendache, and want of
appetite and sleep. Take a wiueg'assful
three times a day.

majority will be in danger."
