In the Forum for July Senator Morrill of Vermont ha* an interesting article on "Republican Party Prospect*." In open ing, the Vermont Senator truly says that the past fidelity and statesmanship of the Republican party need no vindication. It i« the future, therefore, together with some of the many vexed questions which must be considered, with which it deals. First comes what ho calls the "negro problem." which is well illustrated in these brief sentences: '-New Hampshire has two Representatives in Congress and South Carolina seven. The Presidential vote of New Hampshire in 1888 was 90,819 and that ot South Carolina was 79,750. Why should South Carolina, with 11,069 less votes at the polls, have seven electoral votes and New Hampshire only two?" This is the most important question which the Republican party has to face in the South to-day, and unless the present administration gives the country decided measures to prevent the continuance of this inequality there is likely to be consid erable irritation in aH the northern states, where the right to vote is regarded as the fundamental principle of government. The evil that Senator Morrill refers to is the driving the negroes from the polls in the South, while at the same time securing representation for them, and the abuse can and should be remedied. Section 2of the Fourteenth Amendment to the National Constitution says: Sac. 11. "Representatives shall be ap portioned among the several States accord ing to their respective number, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed; but whenever the right to vote at any election for elec tors of President and Vice President, or for United States Representatives in Con gress, executive and judicial offices, or the members of the legislature thereof, is de nied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age. and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebel lion or other crime, the basis of represen tation therein shall be reduced in the pro portion which the number of such, male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State." Ax appalling loss of life from the action of the freakish elements of nature is just reported from China. An immense water spout is said to have burst on the morning of June 2, in the Chan Pinges and Ping Yuen districts, flooding them with many feet of water, 'sweeping away a great numt>er of native villages, and causing the deaths of at least 6,000 human beings. The Reform Broken Dowu. The letter of Judge White, of Allegheny, to his successors in the Quarter Sessions is about as severe a criticism of the Supreme Court license decision as any yet delivered. He advises them in effect to increase the numlter of retail license-, because "if the Quarter Sessions have no discretion as to wholesalers and liottlers the discretion as siKujjj i' amounts to nothing. It results only 11 II iTTI > II J_ the number of quart and jug establishments «lth«ut restricting the traffic or diminishing the evils ofayiteniper ance. Those wholesale and bottliufThnuses which sell by the quart, jug and bucket to the neighborhood. I believe cause more in temperance and are greater evils than reg ular retail houses." In.wamrer language and more sounding phrase, our own Judge Gordon made sub stantially the same comment on tho first reading of Judge Paxson's decision, which he pronounced "calamitous to the cause of sobriety, good order and morality," and predicted that the result would lie "ungov ernable, unnumbered and unamenable bot tle shops and beer gardens throughout the city." Judge Gordon's language and pre diction were considered ill-judged and in temperate iu some quarters at the time, but his conclusion is exactly the same as that reached by Judge White ind solemn ly placed on the records of the Allegheny Court of Quarter Sessions two weeks later. Who will say that the conclusion of these license judges as to the probable result of the Supreme Court's wholesale decision is not a wound one? (toltlieb Jnlin promptly pushed the Su preme Court's opinion to its logical con clusion wbeu he purchased 2.000 cans and did a rushing business by selling beer to the thirsty by the quart within six days after the decision was rendered. All bot tlers and wholesalers have notice that this style of liquor selling can be carried on with safety and profit under their whole sale license. As many of those holding wholesale license are according to the tes timony of the License Court, "men of no toriously bad character, ex convicts, com mon drunkards and men who for years have led a most abandoned life." it is evi dent that the wholesome restraint on the liquor selling business which this city aud State have enjoyed for a year past is at an end. The retail venders have been on their good behavior because they had reason to believe that unless they maintained a good record that Uiev would be refused a license next year. But now they will ask, what if they should be refused/ They will have only to put in an application for a whole sale license which mnst be granted as a matter of course, unless it is shown affirm atively that they are not citizens, or not of sober habits or not of good moral charac ter, and even these objections can not be mad.- against them unless preceded and supported by a remonstrance. it is evident that the reign of the growler has set iu. Some restraint is thrown about the sale of single driuks. but no check at all is placed on the sale by the bottle, the quart can, the pitcher aud the tin kettle by any one holding a so-called wholesale li cense. The Legislature never intended any such result, but its wholesale act was not skilfully drawn, and the Supreme Court has construed it so as to destroy high j license as n reform measure.—Philadelphia : Press. j i The Louisiana Abomination. Why that institution known as the Lou isiana Lottery should bo permitted to con tinue its work is almo.-t inexplicable. It has made t--ns of thousands—probably hundreds of thousands—its victims; ha> blighted the hopes and mined the charac ter of prat numbers of young men in all parts of the country and has wrecked li nancial institutions. Not long ago one of the banks of this city met with severe loss because one of the bookkeepers had been dealing with this rascally concern. Yet its operations continue, doing their work of destruction in all parts of the land, not withstanding the efforts made to protect the mails from being made participants in its swindles. The citizens of Louisiana seem utterly deaf to all entreaties to put an end to the nefarious business. Indeed the majority of them appear to look upon it as a regular and respectable enterprise, to be encouraged rather than destroyed, which is by no means creditable to that State. But at length the people there have awakened to the disgrace inflicted upon their State and the havoc this villainy is making there and elsewhere, and have called upon the general government for help. The leading Protestant ministers of New Orleans, the Koman Catholic Chan cellor of the Diocese, the Judge of the Criminal Court, and many of the first citi zens have united in asking President Har rison to assist them in their warfare upon this iniquitous concern, by using as far as possible the United States officers, of which he appoiuts the chiefs, for its sup pression. That the President will do his utmost in this direction cannot be doubted. Tn the meantime let young men and others keep away from all co nnection with it if they would not lose both money and char acter, as thousands have already done.— Prcg. Bonner. AXOTHKR of the fallen women of London was murdered last week, and the murder is supposed to have been committed by that mysterious person. ' Jack the Hipper."

A MASSACHUSETTS farmer has been fined for taking in his hay on Sunday when it threatened rain. Isn't there something in the Bible about the propriety of rescuing an ass which may fall into a ditch on the Sabbath day? There is such a thing as having laws too darkly, deeply, beautiful ly blue. Taking The Census. The machinery to bo employed iu taking the eleventh census <if the United States is being fast put in order by Supt. Porter. The appointment of supervisors will not be made until December, and the enumera tors not until just before the time the work of enumeration and collection of statistics will begin. The pay of supervisors, as reg ulated by law, is $125 at the expiration of work and $1 per 1,000 people enumerated, but no supervisor is to receive less than fcjOO. In thinly settled districts #1.40 will be allowed per 1,000 persons enumerated. Each enumerator will receive two cents per person enumerated, ten cents per farm and twenty cents per productive industry, but in the aggregate not less than $3 nor more than $0 per day. No enumerator shall have over 4.000 names as estimated from the census of I.HSO. The enumeration must be completed during the month of June. In cities it is expected that two weeks will complete the enumeration of population. Senators Quay and Cameron have been asked to submit a list of ton names of per sons who would make efficient census su pervisors for Pennsylvania, and of course they will also be consulted relative to the 3,000 enumerators needed. The duties of the supervisors will be to supervise the sub division and arrangement of their districts. For the first time in the history of the cen sus taken in the United States these super visors will be appointed by the President will require confirmation by the Senate. The object of this is to place these import ant officers under more direct responsibil ity than was attained by the slipshod methods of their selection under previous censuses. The appointment of enumera tors will be made upon the recommenda tion of the supervisor of the district, sub ject to the approval of the superintendent. It is understood that these supervisors, hav ing been appointed not only on account of ability and past experience, but with ref erence to political considerations which control such matters, will recommend for enumerators such persons as will be satis factory to the political influence which led to the selection of the supervisors them selves. — Wilkesbarre Record.

Up Goes Salt. It was recently announced that a ccrtili cate of incorporation had bden filed by the North American Salt Company and that the concern will differ from tho ordinary trust, inasmuch as its share capital cannot be secretly increased at the whiui of the managers, and it will be subject to some legal supervision. But in general scope and aims we are afraid it is no better than the other "trusts." Its capitalization of fifteen mil lion dollars is enormous, and the eight per cent guaranteed on its preferred stock is excessive. The prospectus contains the usual "trust" prate about profits to accrue from co-operative management, reduced working force and the rest of it. and uot from high prices. Put one may read be tween the lines a very different story. Referring to tho one hundred and thirty works and properties owned or controlled by the concern, it is noted in one portion of the prospectus that "the profits have been meagre at most and frequently non existent." In another paragraph of that document the revenue of tho company is estimated at twenty cents per barrel and an annual output of ten million barrels, or enough to pay six per cent on four million dollars of bonds, eight pur cent on four million dollars of preferred slock and twen ty per cent on the seven million dollars of common stock. It is an insult to the intelligence of the people to nsk them to believe that proper ties which have been yielding meagre profits, or none at all, can by mere econ omy of management be made to pay the exorbitant amount of twenty percent per annum on this frightfully inflated capital ization—and this, a.s i.s intimated, after closing down many of the works and car ryiug them at a dead loss. The public knows just what to think of that "yarn" in view of the fact that the Knglish Salt I'nion, under the auspices of which this new concern has been organized, made similar statements and within six months advanced the price of salt about two hun dred per cent!—>' ew York litruUl. Elections This Year. The first year of a National Administra tion is always a dull one in politics—first j because of the'reaction following a exciting Presidential contest, and secondly, because the laws of the several States do not. a- a rule, select ofT-years for the election of im portant officers. Nine State elections are to be held this year. In Pennsylvania a State Treasurer will be chosen. Contests in some of the counties on judicial and county officers may enliven the election in spots. The He publican candidaje tor State Treasurer will be Speaker Rover, who has no opposition for the nomination. There is no pronounc ed indication who will be the Democratic candidate. Several gentlemen arc spoken of. but the nominee will not be named un til the Convention meets. The other States in which elections oc cur are lowa. Kentucky. Maryland, Massa chusetts, New York, New Jersey, Ohio and Virginia. There will be interesting gubernatorial contests in the three last named States. In Ohio indications point to the nomination by the Democrats of ex- Congressman Campbell for Governor, al though other aspirants may develop strength, and become formidable competi tors ut the Dayton Convention in August. The Bepublicau nomination is Governor Foraker, who is both popular and strong. In New Jersey the Democrats will prob ably nominate ex-Governor Leon Abbett. the strongest Democrat in the State. His success would pave the way at the expira tion of his term of office to his subsequent election to a seat in the Senate of the Unit ed States, which is said to be "the goal of his ambition." He was defeated two years ago although the caucus candidate, by a bolt and fusion with the Republicans which sent Air. Blodget to the Senate. Strong efforts will be made, and in fact are making, to bring Yirgiuia into the He publican column. Virginia was uncom fortably close at the Presidential election. A Democratic Convention of 1.600 dele gates has been called to meet at Hiehmond next mouth to make a nomination, and there is a lively contest now in progress for the honor. New York elects minor State officers and a lull Legislature, this being the year for a renewal of the State Senate. It has always been a doubttul State. Already there are speculations of a coalition be tween the County Democracy and the He publicans to give Tammany a set-back. The braves under the administration of Mayor Grant have almost supreme control of the immense patronage of the city. The citadel of Republican power in New York is the Legislature. The other States that hold elections this year present nothing unusual in their po litical outlook. On the whole, it is prob able that in the nine States each party will hold its own with the United States Sena tor in Ohio in doubt.—Media American. EXPERTS are undecided as to the relia bility of electricity as a force that will cause instant death. TIIK postal order money system is grow ing rapidly.

TIIK New Jersey Prohibitionists, in their State Convention, denounce local option and license laws. Their plank on this sub ject would fit nicely into Democratic plat forms. A Question of Ethics. A little breeze has been raised among the medical fraternity growing out of an alleged violation of the code of ethics as laid down by the County Medical Society. It has always been held by the "regular" members of the profession as an evidence of quackery for any physician to advertise his business for the purpose of attracting custom. Those who have qualified them selves for special work, or have manifested peculiar aptitude in any special line of sur gery or medicine, and who have adopted advertising as a legitimate means of mak ing themselves known to the public have not only been very severely censured and. at times, harshly dealt with, but there have been studied and persistent efforts to excite distrust and prejudice in the public mind among some of the most experienced and successful practitioners in the two cit ies. A short time ago a local contemporary issued a "souvenir edition,'' containing, among other things, sketches of prominent citizens. In the list are biographies of quite a number of regular physicians, in many cases illustrated with accompanying pictures. The circulation of this advertis ing sheet was what occasioned the breeze. The matter was paid for, and the question now is whether that particular section of the code which makes it "derogatory to the dignity of the profession to resort to public advertisements" has not been so fla grantly violated as to call for severe disci pline at the hands of the Medical Society? The situation is embarrassing, to say the least, and the result will be looked for with no little interest. Those physicians who re gard the code as a clamp upon independent action and who treat the anti-advertising rule as a mere bugbear, have the laugh on those "regulars" who figure so conspicuous ly inthe "souvenir." The circumstance, it is to be hoped, will teach the profession that it is never undignlied for any person to advertise an honest business in a proper way through the colums of a reputable newspaper.—Pittsburg Gazette. THE Flemon case was the sensation in Pittsburg last week. It grew out of an old election riot in South Carolina. The story is that the whites, at a certain election precinct in that State, attacked the blacks and drove them from the polls, and killed some of them; the blacks took refuge in a barn, the whites surrounded it, and the blacks defended themselves and killed one white man. Two blacks that were arrest ed swore that Flemon did the shooting. The officers pursued Flemon, and found him in Pittsburg and got a warrant from Gov. Heaver for him. The colored men of Pittsburg are determined that Flemon shall not go back and employed counsel to defend liiui. The case was hoard by Judge Ewing who remanded Flemon to the care ot the Sheriff, and the case has been ap pealed to the Supreme Court. Gov. Heaver has been asked to rescind his warrant. Fisk Is Not There. General Clinton I!. Fisk, Prohibition ex candidate for the Presidency, has done a most significant thing in going West in stead of going to the New Jersey Prohibi tion State Convention. It means that ho adheres to his belief that the wisest course for enemies of the to pursue this year is to unite with the anti saloon Republicans instead of drawing votes away from them and electing Demo crats. The radical Prohibitionists have control of the Asbury Park Convention, but the big convention of the Prohibitionists ill Jersey this year will meet at the polls in JS'ovem ber, with Republican tickets in their hands.

To Be Beheaded. NA.MIVILLK. TKX.N . July 23.—An. East Tenncsacean is under sentence of death in the capital city of l'ar-away Coren. charged villi preaching the doctrine of Christian ity. She is Mrs. Hattie Gibson Heron, wife of the Rev. David Ileron,recently of Jones boro. l>r. Heron is a Northern Presbyter ian missionary, and is well known in Kuox vilte. He is an Englishman by birth, and about three years ago he led Miss Hattie Gibson, daughter of Dr. N. J. Gibson, of Jonesboro, to the altar. He had just been ordered to Core a, and his young wife, her self a great friend of the mission cause, joined him and the two sailed from San Francisco only a few weeks after their marriage. Informatioa has just been received here of the sentence imposed upon Mrs. Heron. She preached the gospel as well as her husband, and was recently the means of converting a nobleman who is close to the throne of Corea. He was a true convert, aud was so inspired that he himself went to preaching Christianity. The King was greatly displeased, but instead of chopping of!' the head of the converted nobleman, he had Mrs. Heron arrested and thrown into prison. In the Corean estimation women hold very low place and count for little in the sight of the law. Though destitute of political and social influence, they are nev ertheless held rigidly accountable for their actions. A CHARGE OK TREASON. The doctrine ol Confucius, since the fourteenth century, has been the establish ed creed of the Corcans. Preaching against the religion may therefore be considered treason, and the present case, in its effect, would be considered of the most vital im portance. Culprits accused of treason and rebellion are tried by a special court called the Keum-Pou. the members of which are named by the King. In such a ease as this one, therefore, the trial is little more than empty formality. Mrs. Heron's case was investigated and she was finally sen tenced to death by decapitation. Mrs. Heron was known as the most beautiful young woman in upper East Ten nessee, and she.bright and intelligent as she was beautiful. Her father died about a year ago. He was one of the best known citizens of Washington county. An Incident of the Great Flood Father Troutwein, of Cambria City, just this side of Johnstown, relates the follow ing incident: He was standing on the bridge on that awful Saturday succeeding the flood and witnessed the attempt of workmen to remove a Mi ;s Clark from the wreck. They had removed the debris from her head and body as far as exposed, but still she could not bo liberated. The flames were approaching and Father Troutwein administered the sacrament of the church to the poor unfortunate, who believed that she must certainly perish. In desperation one man dived beneath the water and endeavored to free her, when he found her one heel held iu a vise-Like grip by a human hand. The muscles were set in death and it seemed that the unfortunate girl could not be freed from their awful clasp. An ax was procured and the hand severed from the arm, when Miss Clark was taken out. Both her legs were broken, but she was taken to the hospital and is getting alang nicely. The men then went to work and finally suc ceeded ;u getting out the body to w hieh the hand belonged. Strange to relate, it was that of Miss Clark's grandfather, aud it was his hand that had almost dragged her to an awful death.. Breaking up a Bad Gang. FitAXRLis, PA.. July 2:i. —The serious wounding of James McCuen, alias "Lan caster Jim," while engaged with three pals iu robbing the store of Mr. Radlc at Town villc Sunday night, and the arrest of John Winters and Edward Hays at Titusvillo for robbery, breaks up a gang of all round thieves that has infested the oil country for several months, committing a long series of crimes, including highway rob bery and attempted murder. "Lancaster Jim" came here from Pittsburg several months ago with a gang of tramps, one of whom was shot and killed by Officer Ha son. while attempting to arrest the gang fur a robbery in Seiub Grass. The dead man was never identified. A few days ago Officer Babeoek. of Aleadville, shot another of the gang, but he is recovering. Three of the gang are still at large. Prob ably a more desperate set of tramps never came together, and there is no crime they were not capable of committing. Lincoln's Religious Standard. The chapter on "Lincoln and the church es," with which Messrs. Hay and Xicolay are to continue their history of the martyr ed President, brings to every one's mind more forcibly than ever the depth and in tensity, as well as the purity, of Lincoln's character. He was a man whose acts could bear all the scrutiny oj the most ad vanced methods of historical research. However much Lincoln's friends and as sociates may have suffered from such treat ment at the hands of collaborating histor ians, Lincoln himself has come forth from it not only unscathed uut evrn with added glory. Those who have followed closely the career of the man and who have seen him in all his moods are not surprised at the historian's formulation of the state ment that he was a "man of profound and intense religious feeling," although lie never professed even a nominal adherence to any creed or dogma.—X. V. I'rcxx. Escaping for His Life. After John M; Clayton had been shot in Arkansas because he was collecting evi dence to show that tie. and not Windy lireekenridgc, had been elected to Con grew, Judge Cunningham charged the grand jury that it was their duty to find and indict the murderer. This fact was paraded over the North to show that tho law-abiding people of Arkansas meant t<> protect the life of its citizens, even if they were white Republican citizens. Hut now the report comes by way of St. Louis that Judge Cunningham has been compelled to leave the State to save his life. This may not be true, hut the probabilities are that it is, because it is entirely consistent with the past history of Arkansas. Political as sassination is the most influential political agent, as well as the most popular, in Ark ansas. Memorial Service. In pursuance of the call of their National President, the Butler W. C. T. I*, will hold a memorial service at 4 o'clock. Sab hath, July 28, at their headquarters in the Presbyterian Church, in honor of their la mented sister, Mrs. Huthcrford B. Hays. .Ml Christians, not to say temperance peo ple, should rejoice in this opportunity to do honor to a life so noble and true. Let all I hi' good people of Butler turn out and show by their presence their appreciation of the matchless graces that adorned the character of this peerless woman. C. M. i'ixi'Kitrs have pretty successfully shown that electricity cannot be depended upon to kill. One expert declares that he knows of lots of workmen who don't mind the wires; that they handle them and receive the shock every hour ol the day without other sensation than a slight tingling at the elbows! It is pretty clear now that all previous ideas about electricity have been erroneous, so far as it can be depended up on to kill. Lightning whisky is ahead of it most clearly, for that was never yet known not to fetch whoever took it. NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. Oil Friday of last week, Judge Kwiug. of Allegheny Co.. remanded Rev.

As Cyrus King, a farmer living uear Union City, Erie county, was plowing a short time ago a monster bird with a large beak swooped down on the neck of his horse. Fortunately it struck on a heavy horse-collar, without doing any damage, and flew off toward a flock of sheep. Mr. King ran to his house, got an old gun. and shot the bird dead as it was tearing a -beep's vitals ravenously. It is probably a South American bird. William Knox, of Coudersburg, loaned an agent some money to bo repaid next day. Time passed, but no money and no agent.

It was all over in two minutes. The debt was cancelled. Knox quietly left, and a doctor was called to fix up the agent. Two colored men, of Franklin.

Matthew Riddle, a farmer of Pleasant (iap. Pa., lost four cows recently by a most singular death. A merchant of that place threw the grass in which bananas had been shipped in the alley at the rear of his stove. The four cows ate of the grass and died in apparent agony in a few hours. An examination disclosed the fact that in all eases the grass had become one solid mass or lump in the stomach almost as hard as wood, and in that condition caused speedy death. At Phillipsburg, a farmer named Peter Burell was c-uttiiifr grass with a mowing machine; the horses got into a sink hole and became unmanageable. Mr. IJurell was thrown from his seat onto the knives.

Mr. Eiffel is said to be rakiug in the snm of SIO,OOO per day from the entrance and elevator fees paid by those who arc anxious to surmount his great structure. AT a Chinese funeral in Philadelphia yesterday a fan and a straw hat were plac ed in the coffin. He may need them. THE pugilist and pugilist trainer Charlie Mitchell has left the United States with the remark that he is never coming hack to these ungrateful shores again. Well, the probabilities are that the United States will manage to. get along very nicely with out Mr. Mitchell. By the way. what a public boon it would he if Sullivan.

THE Englishmen who have secured op tions upon the Minneapolis mills intend to organize a grinding monopoly. THE newspaper swindler is on his rounds. One Edward J. Stack has struck Pennsylvania and represents himself as at tached to the Chicago Intcr-Oetan, secur ing money by fraud. The Inter-Ocean asks that he be exposed and people warned against him. The meaufst swindler is a newspaper swindler. Let everybody give him a whack. GREAT genii, like green monkeys, are scarce. This Nation will vote the man a great genius, who will tell them how to stop the formation of trusts. A "trust" is is an extensive co-partnership, so exten sive indeed as to undertake to crush out all opposition and create a monopoly of the trade in a certain necessity for them selves. The Standard Oil Co., was the first great "trust," and now comes the su gar trust, the salt trust, aud the Lord knows what next next, as the idea is grow ing. One combination of European capi talists is trying to buy up the breweries and distilleries of the the country, and an other the iron and steel plauts. If the thing is not stopped it may, iu time, result in the creation of a moneyed aristocracy in this country. DEATHS.

Rheumatism "We doubt if there is, or can be, a specific remedy for rheumatism; but thousands who liavo suffered its pains have been greatly ben efited by Uood'a Sarsaparilla. If you have failed to find relief, try this great remedy. It corrects the acidity of the blood which is the cause of the disease, and builds up the whole system. " I was afflicted with rheumatism twenty years. Previous to 1883 I found 110 relief, but grew worse, until I was almost helpless.
