They Care for no Policy but the j
one tnat wins.
Seuator Tburman, of Ohio, not long
sine was a conspiounus man among the
riomocricT for Presidential honors.
Many of Lis fiieeds sow eav he bat
ta.ked Linsre'.f to death on tb ques
t.on of the currency. Ilia express
ions a-e said by his friends to be of such j
a character lately that it it impossible
to tell what kind of currency be it for.
That it what a pot lion of bit own party
sav about Liiu The truth, however,
is they only want to ran auotber man
for the Presidency, and by tnoh talk
tbej expect to get Tburoian off the
track. Tba question of currenoy to
thcin it a secondary one. They wish
to win ; that it the whole of it, and it
makes Isttl d fTirence to them whether j
it be on bard money, on piper money,!
or on repudiation, and for the reason
they do not care as to the manner of j
winning-, is the very reason that Sena- j
tor Thurinan does not commit himself. ;
lie sits on the fence, ready to get down
on either side, or stay perched till he is j
pure of a footing, when he steps off. j
His position illustrates their case. They
care for no policy but the one that wins. 1
TnE Cincinnati Telegraph promises
the Ohio Democratic State ticket, the
"unbroken, solid Catholic vote." The
Catholics expect to get a reward by a
portion of the Free School fund being !
t,et apart to their separate nse tbrougb
I lemoerktic legislation. For not giving
thetn a portion of the school fund to
eet up sectarian schools Catholic
i-chooli the Telegraph denounces the
Free School system, in the following
terms :
"That is the law of an intolerant, !
persecuting majority, and the gospel of j
modern paganism. It is the law of the
highway robber, who takes the purse of I
the defenceless traveler, and is strong j
enough to laugh at the punishment of j
law. It is tbo gospel that teaches the j
youth of this country to stifle the voice j
of conscience to be governed by noj
Light r authority than the bludgeon of
the poiice, auI to sneer at religion as
an cffjte superstition. It is the gospel
that has bl.u led out almost every trace
of official honesty ; that has removed
almost every vestige of rublic littue.
it a gotpel w'nch a decent pagan of
olden time icoulj have been ashamed to
preich."
What tie Catholics are after is a
union of Church and State. They ex
peot to reach it in this country through
the I'emocracy.
Grumble will be their Platform.
The Democracy have jut tbe nomi
nation of Governor and Treasurer off
till tbe month of September. They do
not wish to show their band until at a
time so near tbe election that their de
sigus and milk and water platform,
which they of necessity must adoptj
for they have no material out of which
to construct a platform except one of
objection and criticism, cannot be pen
etrated and examined. They will pre
sent nothing but a big grumble at every
body but themselves. Grumble will be
their platform.
They are not Consistent.
The Democracy shout den't be ex
travagant, but they are extravagant,
both in ar.d out of office. They say
nothing but hard money, aud yet they
are as greedy to make money in paper
ac any clas of people in the world.
They hare always been shcating gold
and silver, and at the same time bank
ing in paper currency) and then tbe
kind of currency they used to give tbe
country when they controlled affairs
would be worthless once in about every
ton years. They are not consistent.
Stagnation is said to be as preva
lent in Nevada, Utahj Wyoming, Col
orado, and Kansas as in the Atlantic
States, the authority being a traveling
correcpondent of the Chicago Tribune,
who says that things are Worst in Col
orado, and that in all these regions Lun
drcd3 of men are willing to work for
their board, and many more would
gladly return to the east on foot if they
could get food cn tbe road. Enter
prise seems to have collapsed in tbe j
west as soon as the east stopped off the
supplies of capital. .VorA American.
Political Bushwhackers.
The Democratic party does not meet
the issues of the day fairly. They pre
sent no policy as in opposition to that of
the Republican party. The fact that
tbey do not is the strongest evidence
that can be produced that tbey have no
policy to present. Tbey do nothing
but scold. Tbey do not tell of a better
way. They make no opn fight by pre
venting themselves with something bet
ter. 'I her are political bushwhackers.
fiovEUJtoa Att.t., of Ohio, Las al
ways been a hard money man. Now be
stands on a platform tbat is somewhat
in farorof paper money. It is of little
moment to tbe Governor ; what be most
desires to do is to win; tbo kind of
money is of little accottat.

A horrible adventure with a small
pox patient is narrated hi tbe following
language by a New York paper ; Small
pox is prevalent in the German districts
on tbe east side of tbe city, and tbe
Health officer meets with mush opposi
tion in removiug patients to tbe Public
Pest Hospital. Yesterday a case was
reported at No. 167 Stanton street, and
a doctor and assistant were sent in an
ambulance. They mounted tbe narrow
stairways to tbe top floor and knocked
at the door, which was immediately
opened by a woman. When she saw
who were her visitors she shrieked, and
endeavored to push tbe door to again,
but tbe men kept it open with difficul
ty. " Yon bhan't take my husband,"
the woman said, doggedly. " He's
alono here with me, and at the top of
the house." "It makes no difference,"
slid the doctor, and I can't stay to mul
tiply words all night. Tbis is a tene
ment house, and we don't allow any
cases to remain in them." Without
further taik tbe doctor brushed past
tbe woman, followed by toe ambulance
man, but tbe woman bung to their coats
and begged of them to desist. In a
further room a man, Otto Christy, lay
on a bed, almost unconscious. The
doctor and bis assistant approached tbe
bed, when the woman rushed forward,
and seizing them both, pulled them off,
and the two men were obliged to bave
a hacd-to band fight to obtain posses
ion of her husband's body. While tbe
doctor held her around the body and
pinioned ber arms to Ler sides, the
other rapidly hoisted tbe dying man on
his shoulders, in spite of tbe agonizing
groans of the moribund. Tbe thought
that the husband was really leaving ber
gave Ler renewed strength, and she
sprang once mere away from tbe doc
tor and seized bim, who rolled from the
assistant's shoulders to the ground.
Tbey then began dragging tbe body
along tbe floor to tht staircase, the wife
clinging to it and shrieking dismally.
In tbe evening the man died, and tbe
excitement among the Germans is in
tense. Friends of small -pox patients
threaten to mob s.ual! pox officers, and
the police Lave betn called on to pro
tect them.

A frightful accident happened to the
daughter of Benneville B. Augstadt,
Esq , residing about four miles from
Perry ville, Berks county. The young
lady, who is about sixteen years old,
went 4o the well to draw water. After
she bad raided a bucketful up to the
surface, she leaned over to pull it back,
when she lost her balance and fell bead
long forward aid down to tbe bottom.
As she fell she grasped tbe rope, and
with great presence of mind, she re
tained her bold and slowly descended
to the bottom, about forty fest down.
There was about seven foet of water in
the well, but the rope was not much
longer than would just reach to tbe
bottom, and by tbis circumstance the
girl was able to keep herself to the sur
face of the water. A hired man, who
was several hundred yards off working
at harrowing corn, saw the girl tumble
into the well, and ran direstly to the
spot, just as the girl was about relaxing
ber bold through fright. He cheered
her up, wound the rope up until tbe
bucket appeared, and then the girl was
bauled up safe and sound. The wind
lass was large and clumsy, and would
not easily revolve, and bad it not been
for this fact tbe girl must bave been
killed. As it was, sbe was only fright
ened, and was not hurt ia the least.
When tbo was pulled out she looked
like a drowned woman, and was pale as
death. Tbis same girl saved ber little
sister's life by running in the lans and
catching a runaway bofse.

np it was found to bave received no in
jury. At last accounts tbe patient was
in a fair way of recovery. Genua of

Mr. Faul Shifflar, residing near East
Sarpsburg, Huntingdon county, a wid
ower with fire children, met with a ter
rible death ou Thursday morning of

dangerous1 method of ascertaining wheth
er bis shot gun was loaded, by placing
his mouth ever the muzzle of the guo
and blowing into it, with bis foot pres
sing against the lock, and by some
means his foot slipped, and as the gun
happened to be loaded "very heavily
with shot, it wa discharged, the con
tents entering the unlucky man's mouth'
and crushing the whole side of bis face
into an unsightly mass.
A fight by two lawyers id a Memphis

La?t Friday, at Thomaston, Maine,
the execution of Wagner and Gordon
took pUce. Tho demeanor of the
doomed men, which was cheerful the
day before, bad changed-greatly on tbe
morning of tbe execution. Wagner
appeared much excited. He Las hith
erto believed in tbe saving power of
the charm which he wore next to Lis
heart ; but at last, realizing its impo
tence, be seemed breaking down. Both
men protested their innocence. Gor
don requested that tbe inscription,
"Come unto Me, all ye that are weary
and heavy laden, and I will give you
rest," bo placed on his tombstone ; also
tbat the hymn, "Jesus, lover of my
s:ul," be sung at Lis funeral. Tbe
gallows on which the men were to be
hung was placed near (be quarry, and
could be seen from no point outside tbe
prison yard. The drop bad done re
peated service before. The crime of
Louis H. F. Wagner, who was a Prus
sian sailor of brutal demeanor and grov
eling instincts, was committed on tbe
night of March 5, 1873, on Smutty
Nose Island, one of the Isles of Shoals.
For the sake of plunder be rowed to
the Island, attacked tbe family of a
Norwegian fisherman named Hontest,
killing Mrs. Christensen and a girl
named Karen. Mrs. Hontest barely
escaped by fleeing to the rocks. Tbe
plunder amonatcd to $20. John F.
Gordon was the son of a farmer at
Thorndyke, Me. Having grown jeal
ous of bis brother and his wife on ac
count of their preferment in bis father's
will, he entered their room on the night
of June 16, 1873, and literally chop
ped them to pieces. Their little child
was also killed and another boy was
seriously hurt. Gordon set fire to tbe
house, but the neighbors extinguished
tbe flames and discovered tbe terrible
slaughter. The most (tenuous efforts
have been made for tbe last two years
to save these men from tbe gallows,
and the fight in their be naif bas been a
bitlef ote, every point of law being
appealed to, but without ultimate suc
cess. Tbey at last paid the penalty of
their atrooious crimes upou tbe gallows.
The sheriff and his assistants arrived at
9 o'clock, and at once proceeded to
mako the final arrangements. At 10:45
the startling announcement was made
tbat Gordon bad attempted suicide by
stabbing himself witb a shoe-knife. He
bad been pfeiobsly searched, and bis
getting possession of tbe knife is a mys
tery. The wonnd was in the region of
tbe heart, and be was fonnd lying on
tbe floor of bis cell by tbe Deputy
Warden, wba went to prepare him for
the-gallows. At 1 1 :30 the Sheriff and
bis deputies entered Wagner's cell and
pinioned bis arms, and at 11:45 Wag
ner marched to the gallows. He walked
resolutely, asd mounted tbe scaffold
with a firm step. When tbe rope was
adjusted about bis neck, his counte
nance bore a plaeid expression. Oor
4u wa brergbi dowa by fotrr men.
He was unconscious, and bad been sol
since be was discovered after bis at
tempted anioida. He waa placed ia a
sitting position upon a box on tbe drop
and supported bj two deputies, Hu
face was as pallid as a corpse. Wag
ner oast Lis eyea toward bim and turn
ing to the spectators, said, " Standing
here to die, I proolaim my innocenoe
before God." Gordon showed no sign
of life save a faint moaning. Wagner
bade adieu to several prison friends,
and hoped at some future day the
real truth af his case would come to
light At 1 1 :49, tbe spring wa touched
and the two todies weae banging in
mid-air. Neither moved a muscle,
their necks being broken by the shock.
At 12. 20 the bodies were cut down and
placed in coffins.
