THE FOREST REPUBLICAN. . t. WINK, tOITOft PHOPRIITOH. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER I!, 18fM.; We sincerely hope the Republicans in the Seuate will filibuster and de feat any of the schemes of finance brought forth by Cleveland, Carlisle or the youngster Kcklos. Neither of them know aught of fioancering, and the schemes they have proposed are fraught with great danger to the country. No more wild cat currency, even if, as its advocates say, there is no danger of a repetition of the days when State banks flourished aod fell principally the latter. The next Congress, representing as it will, the solid interests of the people, can be trusted to inaugurate the necessary details for safe money. Tidioute News. Senator Quay's amendment to the sugar bill as passed by the House and reported to the Senate pro vides for striking out the one-eighth of a cent per pound differential on sugar. Mr. Quay ssys that the Democrats have been talking a iog a great deal about tbe sugar trust and at the same time were endeavor ing to dodge the issue. His amend ment would, he said, bring tbetu face to face with the sugar trust and put them on record. Since the amend ment was introduced the Democratic members of the Senate bave resolved not to attempt to pass the "pop-gun" free-trade bills, and by this action all their professed hostility to tbe Sugar Truct is shown to be mere buncombe. WHO IS TO BLAME I The Democrats of Pennsylvania labor under exceptionally great odds in the tussle for congressmen. For instance, at the late election the Re publicans got a congressman for ev ery 18,700 Republican votes. The Democrats got one for every 164,454 Democratic votes. The State Senate is the most magnificent bit of gerry mandering in the union. The Demo crats are allowed a senator for every 47,000 Democratic votes, while the Republicans get one for every 13,000 Republican votes. This can hardly be called representative government. Vindicator. . The above sorrowful wail is just now finding its way into the columns of all the esteemed Democratic pa pers of the State, and since it is so thoroughly answered by an article in the Philadelphia Press, we give it in full, as follows, and would ask, who is to blame? As the time approaches fur tbe Legislature to undertake tbe re-ap-pointmeut of the Congressional, Sen atorial aod Legislative districts of tbe State, some of our Democratic contemporaries are breaking out in the rediculous way that long since became familiar. Tbe large increase in the Republican vote aud tbe great decline iu the Democratic vote at the late election affords them exaggerated opportunities. One of these Democratic newspa pers, taking the fact that in tbe com ing Stale Senate the Republicans will have forty-three members and the Democrats only seven, figures on the basis of the vote cast at the Novem ber election that it required but 13, 367 votes to elect a Republican Sen ator, while 47,629 were required to elect a Democratic Senator. To put it in another way, tbey say that 574, 801 votes elected forty-three Senators, while 333,404 votes elected but seven. Twenty five of tbe fifty Seuators, however, were elected two years ago, although that does not essentially in terfere very much with whatever point is Sought to be made by our Demo cratio contemporaries. What they want to make out is that thb appor tionment is to blame. That is not the fact. The truth is that the Democratic party bas been steadily losing iu districts which were originally Democratic, and which were aonounced Democratic when tbe apportionment was made. As parties were divided when the exist ing Senatorial apportionment was passed there were nineteen districts that could be fairly accounted Dem ocratic, aod there were half a dozen others which that party bas at one time or other carried. Under tbe present apportionment the Democrats have bad twenty of the fifty members sitting at one time. If they could have retained the districts which tbey always carried formerly they would have bad as many io the coming Sen ate, and it would have taken as manv Republicau votes to elect a Senator as uemocratio voles. But the Democrats have steadily lost their districts. Bucks aud Mont gomery counties have been taken away from tbein ; tbey have beeo defeated in the Schuykill districts, which was always conceded to them: they are no louger able to carry tbe XjUzeroe-XjacKawanna districts; a Republican has beeu elected in tbe Clearfield district, so long represented by William A. Wallace and wheie ev ery county was formerly Democratic; estraorelaud, at one time strongly .Democratic, lias not elected a Dei cratio Senator for several terms; the rock-ribbed Democratic Fayette ...... .. . . ureen district has this year elected a Republican for the first time, and so has the Cumberlaud-Adams district. This is not the fault of the apportion merit. Ill tmnitmn In thid tv a ramin.l mir complaining friends that several other uiiuerm strongly uemocraue aismcia were saved to them by tbe skin of the teeth, so to say. The Democrats who will represent the Lehigh, the Northampton, the York aud the Clarion districts can tell interesting stories of narrow escapes. A change of less than 1,000 votes properly dis tributed would have defeated all four of these and reduced the number of Deroocratio members of the Senate to a total of three. In that event our Democratic contemporaries would have been able to complain that it required 111,000 Democratio votes to elect a Senator, but it would not bave been the fault of the apportionment. The esteemed enemy roust recog nize the fact that if it is to go on losing counties which have always been Democratic in the past it cannot be javed by any kind of apportion ment. Democratic districts cannot he made whore there are not Demo cratio majorities. At the late elec tion there were but thirteen counties carried by the Democrats, and the most of these by a margin so slender as to make them hopeful Republican battle grounds for the future. HORRIBLE DOUBLE MURDER. A horrible butchery with robbery as its only purpose was committed j near Jamestown, N. Y., on Saturday, and through it all is wuven a remark able chain of fatalities. About a week ago Mr. and Mrs. Myron Sherman, aged about 65 years, and their granddaughter, aged 2 years, were driving across the Erie railroad tracks near Lakewood, N. Y., when tbe vehicle was struck by a train. The horse, child and Mrs. Sherman were instantly killed and Mr. Sherman was so badly injured that be died on last Friday night. Tbe accident was more than usually sad on accouut of tbe fact that the mother of the dead child had died less than a month previous aod the child had been sent to live with the grandparents. The funeral of the old people was held at Lakewood, and all the relatives in the vicinity attended, with the exception of the two women who were murdered. Mrs. Winslow Sherman, the old lady, was very feeble, and her daugh ter, Mrs. Davis, remained at home to take care of lier. Wiuslow Sherman, husband of one of the murdered women, is a wealthy man, aud is known to keep large sums of money in the house. This was doubtless the motive as the house was ransacked from lop to bottom in the search for tbe concealed wealth. The search, however, was uot success ful, as tbe old man had been too cun ning in biding the money. Mrs. Sherman was found near the table in tbe dinning room with her head crushed and cut in a terrible manner, and lying io a pool of blood behind the kitchen stove was Mrs. Davis, still breathing but with ber head literally hacked to pieces. The rooms were bespattered with blood and looked like veritable slaughter pens. The only clue that has been found are tbe tracks of two men crossing the lot west of the house. One wore very heavy farmer boots and the other rubbers. A short distance from the house one of tbe men slinrjed and fell, leaving quite a large mark in tue mud. WANTED ! Agents to sell our new book.
