TUB Grant-Conkling letter published in
another column is pronounced both by
Grant's widow and son to be a forgery. It
appeared in the anti-administration papers
of last Friday and was intended as an ar
gument against a second term, whereas
Grant was, or is represented as, arguing
against being forced to be a candidate for
a third term.
At that time Cameron and Quay and all
their followers in this State were for Grant
for a third term, and they were so confi
dent of nominating him they were advis
ing people to "get in out of the wet," "get
into line," etc.
Their object at that time was to beat
Blaine, and in that they succeeded, but
they were also beaten themselves, and
Blaine's friend, Garfield, was nominated.
Now the same crowd, or what is leit of
them, is trying to forco Blaine to be a
candidate to beat out Harrison —with
what success remains to bo seen.
If the letter is not a forgery it relieves
Grant's character of what at the time
seemed an unseemly ambition, and if it is
a forgery it shows to what straits the
anti-Harrfsonites are put for an argument.
Harrison has given the Quay-Cameron-
Platt-Clarkaoa crowd everything they
eould reasonably ask for, but like the old
Conkling-Cameron, et al, crowd, they are
not satisfied. They want it all.
Shaking Dice for the Presidency.
There is a marine animal, so offensive
in shape and habits that for many years
alter it was first described men hesitated
to believe that such a thing could be. It
oonsists of a central stomach, surrounded
by long arms that reach out in every di
rection. It haunts dark and slimy eaves
nnder the water, and seises upon every
passing thing that is digestable for a prey.
When it desires to conceal iself from an
enemy or a victim, it throws out from its
body an inky liquid which fouls and dark
ens the water, so that the eye cannot lol
low its movements.
When Secretary Blaine wrote to Chair
man Clarkson in February, declaring' that
his name would not be presented to the
Minneapolis convention, the presidential
situation was perfectly clear. There was
no vehement protest from tbe 7 people, no
declaration that the nomination should be
lorced upon him. The party recognized
his right to consider the state of his own
health, his age, und the proprieties of bis
official relation to President Harrison. His
decision was accepted with the less regret
from the general recognition that his chief
strength as a candidate, by which he would
be stronger than he was in 1684, must be
founded on his share in the work by which
the present administration bad com
mended itself to the country, which
was a strength that would be equally felt
in the campaign if the head of that Ad
ministration should lead the ticket. And
so accepting Mr. Blaine's refusal as sin
cere and definite, the general sense of the
party turned to President Harrison as
the logical candidate.
Then a little knot of dissatisfied politi
cians began darkening the waters. From
invisible depths came anonymous rumors
of the President's unpopularity, while con
vention after convention of delegates, fresh
from the boeom oi the people, were pass
ing resolutions praising him and his admin
istration, to the limit of English language,
as wise, faithful, patriotic and Republican.
Nobody could find a Republican in his
neighborhood who would not support Har
rison as heartily In 1892 as he had done in
1888, yet anybody could read in the papers
daily that somebody at Washington said
he was unpopular. The political waters
seemed clear enough all around exoept in
this one spot, where a flood of ink was be
ing squirted into it every day. The oppo
sition newspapers found nothing to strike
at in the policy of the Administration. At
home and abroad it won applause for its
handling of great questions and its conduct
in trying emergencies. Only the little
group of unsatisfied patronage hucksters at
Washington found in these things the
signs of unpopularity, and so often as the
President turned the cold shoulder to any
of their extravagant demands, they pro
claimed the whole party iu a congestive
chill.
Having, >t they thought, sufficiently
obscured their purposes and movements
under these reiterated, declarations, they
contrived a number of rival candidacies,
created, like the President's unpopularity,
out of their own desires. Cullom,Lincoln,
Alger, Reed, Sherman, and McKinley vere
set alternately before the public as the
choice of these faithful guardians of the
party which, without their direction might
be oraiv enough to nominate the unpopu
lar Harrison. Strangely enough the
plain and simple people persisted in prefer
ring the unpopular man, and declined to
throw up their hats for any of these. And
so these high-souled Republicans who
serve their party by proclaiming in "ad
vance that the man who aepresents all that
Republicanism has meant in National gov
ernment since 1884 cannot be re-elected
desperately determined that he shall not
be re-elected, are driven to their last re
source. They declare that Mr. Blaine's
declaration that his name would not be
before the Minneapolis convention was
either insincere or indefinite: that they will
no&iinate him,and that he will accept, cr
if he does not accept, the President will be
humiliated, anyhow. If he does accept,
and is elected, be would not be any more
obsequious to them than President Harri
son, but he would not live beyoud a few
months anyhow, they argue, and they are
selecting a satisfactory and compliant can
didate to run for Vice President, with the i
expectation that death will bring swift
promotion. And so we leave them, as I
they finally appear, shaking dice for the
succession, on the coffin of the candidate
they pretend to favor.
They have overlooked one point however,
which is the material one—the fact that
the corpse which they have so laid out and
straitened is still alive, in mental and
physical vigor, and able to take a decisive
hand in the name. — PitUbur* Times

Grant on a Third Term.
Tho Columbus 0. Ditpatch of last Fri
day made public a letter alleged to have
been written by President Grant to
Senator Conkling twelve years ago.
It is as follows:
"NKW YORK, May, 1880.
Mr DEAR MR. COXKLIXO — I am in re
ceipt of your last letter,and have very con
siderately weighed the matter in all its
bearings. The tribute you pay my serv
ices to the country I appieciate, but at the
same time I fear you over estimate my
services and under estimate the indulgence
of our country. There have been exigencies
that warranted a second term, but I don't
believe that the best interests or the coun
try's good ever demanded a third term or
6Ter
"I had my doubts even as to advisabil
ity of a second term, and you know that I
have so expressed myself to you in our
confidential talks. This is a big country,
full of brainy and ambitions men, who can
serve the country eminently well as its
president, and I sincerely question the
policy of thwarting their noble ambiton.
In a public, cosmopolitan country like ours
a man's fame is too frequently dependent
upon the status of public sentiment. Fame
in this country ebbs and flows. To-day
yon are the peer; to-morrow you may be
submerged beneath the waye of adverse
sentiment. This is another reason why the
noble ambition to be president should not
be restricted to one man. I feel that our
country has amply repaid me for all my
services by the honors it has bestowed up
on me, and I feel that to be a candidate or
accept the nomination for a third term
would be ingratitude, and would eventual
ly affect me with the people who have lov
ed me and whom I love. . V I A
"I am still of the opinion that I should
speak to the countrj, that I should break
the silence in a letter declining emphati
cally to accept a nomination for a third
term. I appieciate your efforts, your
friendship and loyalty, but I fear that your
zealoußness for me is an error, not of heart
but of mind. Knowing that with all your
nobleness you have a highly sensitive na
ture, and knowing your antipathy to the
Maine statesman, I have always reformed
from speaking of him to you, but I now
feel that I should speak on the matter, and
plainly. This estrangement between you
two, unless checked, must prove a mutual
disadvantage. It will hurt Mr. Conkling-
It will hurt Mr. Blaine. It will be a stumb
ling block in the way of the ambitions of
both. I believe that could the differences
existing be amicably adjusted the nomina
tion tljis year would go to one, leaving the
honor tour years hence more than a proba
bility for the other. It is not only necess
ary for the good of each that an amicable
adjustment be reached, but for the B°o d
of the party, and more for the good of the
country.
"I fear that the presentation of my name
at the convention would not only assist in
the defeat of Mr. Blaine, but seriously af
fect your fixture, besides warping my
career. Even should I be nominated it
could only come after a spirited contest,
in which much bitterness would be inject
ed, and then I doubt if I could be elected,
as I seriously doubt whether any man can
ever again be elected, even for a second
term, unless perchance there should arise
some extraordinary emergency, which now
appears improbable even in the dim future.
"I am aware that this # matter has gone
on to an extent where an announcement
trom me refusing to accept would be look
ed upon by some as cowardice. But would
it not be far better to be considered a
coward than a usurpert I also appreciate
your position as you say, ''the final and
supreme effort of your life for supremacy,
yet in face of all I still believe that my
name should not be presented. And
further, I believe that your anxiety about
the effect an announcement from me would
have on your future is an error.
"I trust you will consider gravely and
oarefully my wishes. I am generous
enough to suffer myself rather than to have
my friends suffer, if I am convinced that
any act of mine would cause them to suf
fer. Awaiting your reply before acting, I
remain sincerely your friend.
U. S. GRAST."
A Sad and Strange Career.
William B. Dickerson, who died in
Philadelphia on the Bth instant, in almost
absolute destitution, had a checkered ca
reer. About fifty years ago he was a
young lawyer of more than average abil
ity in Philadelphia. He saw that there
was groat corruption in what was then
known as the State House ring—a state of
things developed later ia New York nnder
Tweed rule. With the ardor of youth
and the honesty of purpose that youtn
gives, Mr. Dickerson undertook, single
handed and alone, to expose this corrup
tion and fetch the guilty to justice. His
effect in that direction gave him great pro
minence at the time. But he was unsuc
cessful. The public thieves of that day
were too many and toe powerful for the
ardent young lawyer. They succeded in
weakening his influence, and finally crush
ed him out. The very people that Dicker
son tried to serve joined with the State
House ring to over-throw him. He made
many friends among people of the honester
Bort,but the bitter and unrelenting enemies
he made were always alert, while the
friends were lukewarm. The case is but a
too frequent illustration of the danger that
besets a man when he fails in his attack
against a well-organized gang of publio
spoilsmen, no matter how true his charges
of corruption may have been, or how hon
est his purpose. Tilden and his friends
succeeded ia crushing Tweedism, and had
their reward in popular approval; Dicker
son failed to make any impression upon
the State House ring, aud was crippled, if
not crushed, himself. It is only the history
of such things repeating itself.
Whether this failure 4n his early career
led Mr. Dickerson to doubt the old saw,
that "Honesty is the best policy," or not,
we will not pretend to determine. Cer
tain it is that about twelve years ago he
was tried and convicted in a Philadelphia
court on the charge of forging the will of
Robert Whitaker, a wealthy merchant,
whose estate footed up a round million ot
dollars. He was sentenced to serve a term
of ten years in the Eastern Penitentiary.
He returned to the scene of bis early
labors about a year ago, a broken bown
and broken hearted old man, seventy-eight
years old and penuiless, always protesting
his innocence of the crime for which he
had suffered.
Before his last great misfortune he came
to Franklin, established a law office, aud
purchased the property at the corner of
Thirteenth and Chestnut street, now own
ed by Mrs. Dickerson. During his trial
and till the close of his life she .stood by
her husband with wifely devotion, sharing
alike his prosperity and destitution.
There is in the history of William B.
Dickerson the material of a thrilling story.
Attached to it is a moral, which we leave
the reader to work out for himself.—
Franklin Spectator.
A Gay Youth.
Joseph B. Wood, a married man of Al
legheny, is in prison at last, after having
been shielded for years in a double life by
his wife and his old blind father. Woods
is a man of good family and fine education
especially in music, having been a mem
ber of the choir in the Fourth Avenue
Baptist Church of Pittsburg, and the Cen
tenary Methodist Episcopal Church of Al
legheny. He is said to have been carrying
on numerous intrigues covering his tracks
faily well until aboat seven weeks azo he
found a well filled pocketbook, and was
was unable to resist the temptation to take
a woman of the town and go on a West
ern tour in her company.
It was this trip that brought him to
grief. Tbe pocket book belonged to T. J.
Ellis of Butler county, and contained
$290. Wood picked it up on Sixth street,
and showed it to several friends. It con
tained papers showing the owner's identi
ty. It was advertised with a reward for
its return, and Wood was advised by
bis wife, with whom be had lived on Bea
ver avenue, Allegheny, to take it at once to
the owner. Instead it is charged, be
hunted up the female acquaintance refer
red to ana the two went West. The wo
man left bim at Ft. Wayne and came back
to Pittsburg. From tier and from the
friends, whom Wood bad told of his find,
tbe owner learned a'l about Wood's move
ments.
The police were put on the case and a
few days ago it was learned that Wood
wart working iu a subordinate capacity at
a Chicago hotel. It seems he had also
been to Denver. The Chicago authorities
were notified and Wood was arrested.
The young man's wife is now with bis
parents at their homo in Philadelphia.
Since her husband's flight she has disclos
ed that he was almost constantly in troub
le with women. He was mawUiuing
questionable relations with two or tbreo
outwardly respectable women of Alleghe
ny, she says and only a few months ago
bis father paid S6OO to compromise a case
against him brought by a young girl of
Mansfield, whom he bad betrayed by pre
tending to be an unmarried man.
Wood is a machinist and worked last at
the Pittsburg Locomotive Works. He is a
handsomo young man and the gavety of
his disposition made bim a general favor
-1 ite everywhere, especially among young
women. He is also said to have pretend
ed to be v'ery religious.—Pittsburg Times.
Assembly and Conference Notes.
At Portland, Oregon, Monday morning
the Committee to revise the Presbyterian
Confession of Faith reported to the General
Assembly, and their report is being con
sidered. .
The new section relating to infants dy
ing in infancy is as follows.
"Infants dying in infancy and all other
persons who are not guilty of actual trans
gression are included in the election of
grace and are regenerated and saved by
Christ through the spirit who worketh
when and where and how He pleaseth, so
also are the elect persons who are not out
wardly called by the ministers of the
Word." . ,
At the opening of the session Monday
afternoon the Assembly Committee oi
Conference with Union Seminary submit
ted a report with this resolution:
"That the General Assembly, without
surrendering in any way its authority or
its natural right of control of all the
agencies and institutions of the Church,
hereby proposes and agrees to refer the
subject of the interprepation of compact of
1870 as to the disputed point of transfers,
to arbitrators.to be mutually chosen by the
General Assembly and the Hnion Theo
logical Seminary." _ .
No action was taken. Dr. Briggs had
arrived, having traveled Sunday to take a
hand in the fight.
In the M. E. General Conference at
Omaha, Monday, the Committee on Judi
ciary reported that no other interpretation
of the words "lay delegates" than that now
had can be made, namely that "lay dele
gates" means male delegates and not
female.
Homer Eaton waa elected treasurer or
the Sunday School Union Society, and the
Episcopal Board, with Lewis Curts as his
assistant. Daniel Denham was appointed
treasurer of the Tract Society.
A resolution denouncing capital punish
ment, and recommending solitary confine
ment, was laid on the table.
Dr. Potts, ot Michigan, offered a resolu
tion empowering the bishops to submit to
the annual Conference a proposition to ad
mit women as lay delegates. Mr. Potts
demanded that the Conference act on the
matter. Notwithstanding the opposition
of the official paper, he believed the wo
men could win. .
Dr. Moore, of Ohio, offered a substitute
resolution, providing that the word "lay
man" must of right be understood to in
clude all the members of the church who
are not menbers or presidents of the
annual Conference.
Dr. Buckley s' cured first blood by rais
ing the point of order that this matter is
now before the Judiciary Committee, and
should be referred to that commitee. The
Chair so held, amid applause. The matter
was then deferred for the present.
The General Assembly of the L. 1.
Church is in session at Pittsburg, and the
Butler Presbytery is represented by J. A.
Clark, J. B. Borland, A. B. Dickie, D. B.
Donthett, J. H. Dickey and James Gib
son.
THE State Candidates met at Harrisburg
last week and selected Gen. Frank Reeder
of Easton for Chairman of the State Com
mittee and George Pearson of Mercer for
Secretary; but Quay wanted Frank Will
ing Leech retained as Secretary and Pear
son had to give way to him.
IT is but a short time since the Supreme
Court of Vermont held that tobacco was a
drink, within the meaning of the statute
m aking it an offense to "treat' a jury to
" victuals or drink."
Now comes a Charleston Judge with tho
docwion that soap is a medicine within the
meaning of the Sunday law. That law
perm its the sale of drugs and medicines on
Sunday. The keeper of a drug store was
arraigned for selling a cake "of soap. He
was discharged by the Court on tho ground
that soap was a mediciiie, and thereiorc its
sale on Sunday was lawful. Here is the
reasoning of Judge Pringle:—
It can hardly bo thought ridiculous to
say that under certain circumstances a
cake of soap may be regarded as a medi
cine. There are certain kinds of soap
which are as distinctly and absolutely
medicinal as it in possible for anything
to be. Not to mention others, the world
renowned carbolic acid soap and cuticura
soap are as much medicinal as calomel or
castor oil. And it has been said by very
high and reverend authority that cleanli
ness is neat U> godliness. S® that to fine
a man for selling au article which is so
conducive to that cleanliness which is the
next thing to godliness as a cake of soap
would be to make the effort to be clean an
act of ungodliness.
By iDgic of this kind a good deal of elas
ticity can be giron to a Sunday law.
The Western Pioodu,
The Missouri and Mississippi rivers were
on a regular rampage last week.
Sioux City, lowa, was flooded on Wed
nesday and Thursday, and fifty people
were drownod.
At Des Moines, lowa, a thousand homes
were abandoned and It. R. trafoc was
stopped.
At St. Louis and vicinity eight thousand
people were made homeless, and the dam
age by the waters r<ui into millions.
At Alton, Ills , the river was six miles
wide.
The levees guarding several small towns
along tho Mississippi £ are way and the
towns oud surrounding country w?re en
gulfed.
At New Orleans, Thursday, the river
rose 10 the highest point ever known, was
over 17 feet above low-water mark, aud
the city otticials bad equads at work on all
the levees.
It is estimated that fully 300 people have
been drowned and 5000 families made
homeless by the floods. Hundreds of
square miles of wheat and cotton lands
are under wat»r. The number of live stock
drowned is very large. The actual money
loss will never be estimated.
When the levee cf the Gypsie planta
tion, some distance above New Orleans,
broke a little four-year-old girl floated
away in a cradle with a cat in her arms.
Fourteen hours later she was found alive
with tho car, doad and hugged tight to her
breast. She had throttled it unconscious
ly in her fright.
At Vandalja fifty families made home*
less by the flood were forced to find refuge
in the Vandalia freight yards and as many
more in each of three other roads. The
companies granted permission to the
homeless to put up stores and cook their
food within the cars.
A telegram from Redfield, Ark., to Lit
tle Rock read:
For God's sake send us a steamboat; 20
persons drowned here to-uigbt uid at least
150 more are on the river bank surrounded
by water and the bank is caving
Belief was of course sent at once.
Near Centreville, Mo., the waters en
croached so quickly on homes that the in
habitants lost everything, even clothes.
Five hundred people of all ages were camp
ed upon the bold hills to the east of the
flooded district. Some of them were
scantily clad and bad not tasted food for
h ours The women and children were frad
looking objects. Their faces were pale
and a look of pitiful despair was pictured
on their countenances. The men could do
nothing. Looking down toward their once
peaceful and contented homes there was a
sea of water, above them weeping clouds.
The rain came down, and the only pro
tection afforded them was under the limbs
and leaves ot the big trees of the forest.
AT Meiborne, Australia, at 10 o'clock of
M onday morning, (which was about 8 p.
m. of Sunday here) the notorious thief and
murderer Deeming was hanged. He is
known to have murdered two of his wives
and four of his children, and was suspect
ed of other murdres and innumerable
rob beries, both in England and Austra
lia.

THE Democratic County Committee of
Armstrong county met at Kittanning last

THE acceptance L>y England of the invi
tation of the I'nited* States to take part in
an international conference on the silver
question looks like a step toward the solu
tion of the silver question. It is really to
be hoped that it will amount to something
definite, just and satisfactory all round.
England's acceptance will doubtless carry
the other nations with it into tho move
ment. Favorable responses have already
been received from Italy and Austria.
