Republican Party Prospects.
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 :

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.—

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.

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.

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

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

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. Mr. Knox called on the agent in
his room at a hotel* and told hiui he must
either pay or take aud emphatic licking.
He could not do the former, and Mr. Knox
proceeded to do the latter. 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. Pa.,

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.
His right hand and both legs were nearly
severed and he was terribly cut about the
body. His injuries proved fatal.
A tramp called upon L. I!. Brown, of

stop the formation of trusts. A "trust" is
is an extensive co-partnership, so exten

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

knows what next next, as the idea is grow

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

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. Hood's Sarsaparilla
did me more good than all the other medicine
I ever had." H. T. HALCOM, Shirley Village, Mass.
