The Tickets foe February siat.
Some orders hare already been left with
us for tickets lor the "Spring" election,
and some of the auditors seem to think
that because the law provides for more
official ballots than are necessary and also
h>Hnta " nearly all of which
are useless, they need not m« up to the
letter ol it
The law requires the auditors of town
ships and boroughs to provide 75 ballots
fcr every 50 and fraction of 50 voters on
the assessor's list of their district, and an
equal number of specimen ballots, and this
might be curtailed with perfect ssfeiy as for
as the election is oonoerned by
dropping the 75 provided for the
fraction of 50, and nearly all of
the sample ballots, but any board of
auditors who do so take their chance*; on
Bection 34 of the law. which explains it
self, and reads as follows:
Any public officer upon whom a duty is
imposed by this act who shall negligently
or wilfally fail to perform such duty, or
who shall negligently or wilfully perform
it in such a way as to binder the objects of
this act, or who shall negligently or wil
fully violate any of the provisions thereof,
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon
conviction, shall be sentenced to pay a fine
not exceeding one thousand dollars or to
nndergo an imprisonment for_ not more
jinn one year, or both, at the discretion of
the court.
Thi passing away of James G. Blaine
will recall to many minds the closing sen
tences of his eulogy of Garfield, delivered
before both houses of Congress ten years
ago. Those sentences described the clos
ing scene of Garfield's life with a perfec
tion of imagery, an eloquence of diction
and a pathos that have seldom been ex
celled in speech or epic.
"As the end drew hear," said the eulo
gist, "his old craving for the sea returned.
The stately mansion of power had been to
him the wearisome hospital of pain,and he
begged to be taken from its prison walls,
from its oppressive, stifling air, from its
homelessness and hopelessness. Gently,
silently, the love of a great people bore the
pale sufferer to the longed-for healing of
the sea, to live or to die, as God should
will, within sight of its heaving billows,
within sound of its manifold voices. With
wan, fevered face tenderly lifted to the
oooling breeze he looked out wistfully upon
the ocean with its changing wonders, on
its far sails whitening in the morning light,
on its restless waves rolling shoreward to
break die beneath the noonday sunjon
the red .clouds ef evening arching low to
the horizon; on the serene and shining
pathway of the stars. Let us think that
his dying eyes read a mystic meaning
Wbich only the rapt and parting soul may
know. Let ns believe that in the silence
of the receding world he heard the great
waves breaking on a farther shore, and
felt already upon his wasted brow the
breath of the eternal morning.
THB offices to b« voted (or at tbe Febu
ary election will >ll be printed in one
group on tbe tiokets. Therefore one oroas
mark in tbe space opposite tbe word "Re
publican" or "Democrat" at the bead of
the ticket will vote all tbe names on tbe
ticket. If you want to vote for the
Straight Republican ticket make an X
mark in tbe space opposite the word "Re
publican'' at the head of the ticket and
the thing is done. If yon desire to vote
for tbe Democratic tioket, straight, make
the mark opposite tee w->rd "Democrat."
If yon want to rote for some of the Repub
lican candidates and some of tbe Demo
cratic candidates, don't make any mark
opposite tbe party names; but make an X
mark opposite tbe name of each candidate
you wish to vote for, whether in the Re
publican or Democratic column; aud in
that event you will only vote for thost can

1* tho Brie-Crawford Congressional dis
triot daring the lwt campaign the candi
dates were Messrs. Sibley and Flood, and
the contest from the start was red hot. Dr.
Flood, the regular Republican nominee, is
a dignified gentleman, jnst a trifle pomp
ons, while Sibley, who WHS the Democratic

date, ia a hail fellow well met, knows every
body and everybody knows Lim. They
■tamped the district together, these two
candidates did, and while Flood confined
his remarks to National isiue.iin an argu
mentative way,Sibley made ad captandum
speeches that kept the crowd in a roar.
Towards the close of tho campaign Dr.
Flood, in the coarse of a speech, referred
to Sibley as the "rainbow candidate," al
luding to the multi-colored political ele
ments that bad endosed him. Thin wait
Sibley's opportunity. When Flood had
finished Sibley arose and said: "I accept
the name of 'rainbow candidate' which Dr.
Flood has placed upon me, and I consider
it a good omen, for does not the - Good
Book say that the Lord set a rainbow in the
heavens aa a sign that there shall be no
more Floodf" The laogh that followed
this clever repartee spread all over the
district and contributed to the Doctor's de
feat.

Maine and Kansas and lowa alone for the

Sinking Into the Earth.
The inhabitants of that part of West
Tennessee known as the "Earthquake
Belt," aro considerably exercised over tho
gradual sinking of tho lake? f rmed by the
earthquake of 1811. The water level is
descending without any apparent cause,
although the streams that empty into some
of the lakes are not aflected. This is taken
as evidence that the soil at the bottom of
thesu sheets of water has become seamy,
from seismic action beneath, thus allow
ing the water to escape into unknown ba
sins below. The effects ofthe unexplained
phenomenon are most apaaront in Stone
lake, a beautiful body of water sitnated
in Lauderdale county. The lake id about
a mile long and a half a mile wide and has
an average depth of twenty feet, bat so
clear is it that the smallest objects can be
seen on the bottom. A moro inviting
place for the angler could not be found
anywhere, but strange to say, while the
other waters in that region aro alive with
fish, no living thing has ever been seen in
Stone lake, and the people contend that
the water i* certain death to any creature
that drinks it. The wild fowl avoid it.
though they swarm in the adjoining ponds
and bayous. Another peculiarity of tho
uncanny water ia that anything cast into
it quickly petrifies; hence the name it bears.

James O. Blaine.
The Republic has lost its most distin
guished citisen. Through *ll the range of
iu public life his Influence has been felt,
his work has been seen, his triumphs won,
and his supreme ability aocepted. Party
leader, orator, historian, legislator, states
man, great in all these, be was greatest of
all in a national career which rested solely
upon the unshaken loyalty ana devotion of
the great mass of voters in the Republican
party.
It is now sixteen years ainoo the close of
General Grant's term as President fou> d
Mr. Blaine the most conspicuous leader in
the party which had fougnt the war,saved
the rmra and was directing its destiny.
There were several men, though not many,
whose national services had then been
greater. Thero was at least one, John
Sherman, whose eventual place in history,
though without bis great dominant person
ality, will equal his; thero were three or
four whose political sway and power, bas
ed on unquestioned control ol the Republi
can party in great States, was superior to
his own: but no one doubted then, and no
one has at any time since doubted, th U
the rank and file of the Republican party,
the plain people who vote its ticket, sup
port its principles and elect its candidates
with no hope or desire of personal reward,
feltjfor Mr. Blanie a personal loyalty and
regard displayed toward no other man.
This love never lost. This loyalty was
never shaken. It was as faithful in defeat
as it was enthusiastic in victory. It vras
as much at his command in private life as
in public station. It was manifested in
every coneeivable way and survived every
possible assault and attack. Xo publio
man in all our history to whom it has not
fallen, as it did to Washington and Lincoln
to pilot the nation through dangerous war,
has ever bad a more unquestioned personal
allegiance from great masses of his fallt.w
citiiens,—not even Henry Clay,with whom
Mr. Blaine has been constantly oompared
and whom his career at many points re
sembled.
To the organized political force of his
party he never strongly appealed, through
most of his life he bad the opposition of
those to whom politics was a trade, and
their support at the very close of his career
was due less to their personal regard for
him than to their opposition to President
Harrison. The Mugwump portion of the
Republican party had for him as little
sympathy and support as its trained and
organised forces. Extremes met in a mu
tual opposition to bim of elements and ic
fluences on all other points opposed to each
other. His personal support lay neither
with those who scheme and organize in
politics, nor with those who scheme with
out organizing, neither with the practical
men of the machine,nor witn independents
but with that great body of voters on
whom the safety of the Republic rests, who
filled the army in the war, and who in
peace must be right or all is wrong with
free institutions.
The support of this great mass of voters
which for a quarter ot a century has beeu
as plain as the sun in the heavens, is not
to be lightly explained by "personal mag
netism." All but an infinitesimal share of
them never saw bim. It has a better ex
planation and a higher reason. No leader
in Congress in <-ur day or in any day so
filled public eye and roused public enthusi
asm by his method of debate. Tbe man
ner no less tban tbe matter of his speeches
when he returned to the floor from the
Speaker's chair, swept all bclore bim and
his audacious brilliancy completed the
rout which his powerful argument began
Yet more, in tbe twenty-two years since
he becamo Speaker, no American of hio
' day, or any day, so frequently expressed
tbe underlying belief and conviction of
tbe Republican voter, taken on tbe aver
age acd in tbe mass, in the city and in tbe
country, through all the land from ocean
to ocean,and in all stations and conditions.
It was Mr. Blaine who first discovered,
ten years after tbe close of tbe war, that
tbe day for repressive legislation was over,
and deflated by his ruling as Speaker the
extreme enactments proposed for the reg
ulation of Southern elections When an
inevitable political reaction in 1874 suc
ceeded financial panic in 1873, it was Mr
Blaine who most nearly expressed tbe in- j
dignation burning throughout the ranks of
the Republican party at tbe return to in
fluence and power In the Congress of the
Union of tbe men wo had loft its halls to
destroy the Government. When an at
tempt, nearly successful, was made to use
this indignation to give the great soldier
of the war a third term in the Presinency
and to violate a sound constitutional pre
cedent in the interest of au unscrupulous
and despotic control of tbe niacninery ol
tbe Republican organization, it WM MI-
Blaine, and for a season Mr. Blaine alone'
who discerned that tbe great mass of tbe
party was opposed to this policy, and who
did his country and its constitutional rights
the inestimable service of giving this cause
* leadership which won its success at tbe
price of bis own defeat.
After this great service Mr. Blaine be
longed less to him»«lf tban to bis party and
to tbe nation. No nomination in our bis
tory has been more distinctly tbe work and
command of tbe average voter tban his in
1884. It had its fatal opposition in biß o*n
party; but if ever the great mass of honest
and candid voters in tbe Republican part}
passed their deliberate verdict of trutb aud
confidence on tbe character of a public
man, it was done in their command for his
nomination, aud in tho vote they gave bim
after a canvass of slander and defamation
matched indeed in our annals, but match
ed only in tbe assaults on tbe motives ot
Washington and on the patriotism of
Lincoln.
Even defeat left Mr. Blaine no less tbe
leading Anierioan of his day. There grew
through the nation, independent of party
lines and of sectional difference,a profound
appreciation and admiration of the man
who, as every great question appoared,
voiced unerringly the sentiment and con
viction of great masses of bis country, who
stiid what tbey thought and who thought
what tbey said. In 1888, as before,be again
expressed the dominant sentiment of bis
party, and sounded the keynote of its cam
paign; but a greater work, and one trans
cending party lines, was now shaping itself
in bis masterful bauds.
For twelve yearn, from the Pan-Ameri
cin Conference, which Garfield approved
and his successor hesitated to support, to
the reciproeity treaties of the past two
years, Jaine* G. Blaine was the first of liv
ing Americans to see the dnty and respon
sibility which lay upon Ibis land to assume
the leadership of the continent, to draw
closer the bonds ot union among its na
lions, to Kopprens war by repairing the in
ternational arbitration of differences, and
to promote mutual trade by mutual conces
sion*. '
Ten year* have bat Itgnu this work. In
nrging it Mr. Blaine was in advance at
many points oi bis day. bis parly.and even
bis country. Dot bere again lie voiced the
dumb, inarticulate desire of millions o!
Americans who long unconsciously, but
nefortheless sincerely, to see this great
country exercising a supreme and peaceful
influence among the nation* of this hemis
phere. History will see much to record in
Mr. Blaine'* career. Hi* matchless per
(tonal influence, bis eloquence, his political
prescience,hi* power both to lead hi* party
und to know what leadership his party do
sireJ, will all alike receive recognition.
The history which he added to the liters
ture of bi* country insure* bin) a permit
nont place in that brict list ol those who en
joyed the double power to make history
and to write it. There will be Borrow for
bis disappointment* and a clear appreben
siou that his best friends were not tbosr
wbo clouded hi* last months with lalsu and
interested advice. Bnt beyond all and over
all will be praise and appreciation <>f the
great policy wlrieh the future will sco
triuuiwbaut, under which Uiw country ju«t
ly claims the dutin« anil responsibilities of
its power and position among the nation*
ot the Wert ie * peaceful and nobroken
onion of common protection, comm on in
terest*, harm on ion* relations, and a recip
rocal trade between all American land*.
The man «u greater even than bis work.
Looming np behind the record, gleaming
through all the achievements, was the su
preme personality of the generation
There was the overmastering figure wnora
the thousands of his numbered friends lov
ed to cherish and the millions of bis un
counted admirers loved to picture,
elements entered into that peerless indi
viduality His unrivaled charm of man
ner, his irrestible fascination, his wonder
ful fertility and facility, hi* inexhaustible
■tore of antidote and illustration, his mar
velous memory that never miised a lace or
a name or an association, his nneqaalled
aia.-tery ot biographical and historical de
ail tor instant and universal service, his
quick pfcrc«?ption anil instantaneous action
nis controversial dexterity, his genius of
political divination, his intense spirit of
\inericanism and patriotism which em
bodied and typified the gennine impulse of
me American people—nil these qualities
nlt-nded and made up the winsome man
and the matchless leader.
And so now and on the morrow of his
death, the plaudits of history and the
praise of posterity seem bnt a light and
empty thing by the bier of the man who
jroe* to his grave loved as no man of his
day has been loved by the million. It is
much to have been the leading American
American, to have stood on the world's
stage and played a great part in the affairs
f men.—it is more, a thousand times more,
that in lonelv farm houses, in solitary vil
ages, in great cities, in all places where
Americans live and work, the news of his
death will bring a strange sorrow to men
that their life as citizens and their action
as Republicans will seem the emptier be

THE action of the people of Hawaii in
deposing their Queen and sending repre
sentatives to ask for annexation to the
United States has excited intense interest
abroad. England, France and Germany
lave long recognized the commercial and
strategic value of Hawii. The dethroned
Queen, who sought to overthrow the
Hawaiian Constitution and substitute au
tocratic power for the limited monarchy
wbich has existed in the little island king
dom, is said to have be«n particularly sus
ceptible to British influence. It is abso
lutely certain that failure on the part of
the United States to taka advantage of the
action of the Hawaiians will be followed
by the seizure of the islands by some
European power. In all probability Eng

Trial of Robert Beatty.
During the trial of Robert Beatty, one of
the alleged Homestead poisoners in Pitts
burg. Thursday, Chas. McKinuey, a river
man, testified that Beatty asked hitn to g<>
to Homestead and administer croton-oil.
Another witness said that Beatty told him
he gave some of the powders to a dog in a
brwl of milk, and the dog died. The pros
ecution rested Friday morning, and that
afternoon the defense, which was similar
to the defense of Dempsey, began.
On Friday a wairant was issued for "Big
Jack"' Cole, a cook formerly employed at
Wilson'srestanrant in the Diamond market
Cole is charged with felonious assault and
battery in causing poison to be administer
ed to the non-union men in the Homestead
mill. The information roads almost exact
ly like those made against Dempsey and
Beatty.
The warrant was sworn out under the di
rection of District Attorney Clarence Bur
leigh. Cole was wanted as a witness in
both the Dempsey and tho Beatty trials,
and has been regularly subpoenaed. Th«-
Commonwealth wanted him to corroborate
Gallagher's story about Beatty's trip to
Cincinnati after two cooks, and other
1> lints in the evidence. Before Beatty left
Cole gave him a letter of introduction to
t *'o men whom he thought could bo hired
to do the work. After Beatty hired Gilfoil
and Coleman be sent a couple of telegrams
to Cole, and copies of them are in the
hands of the prosecution.
During the Dempsey trial Cole was al
most constantly iu the court ro«im until he
was wanted as a witness- Then he disap
peared, but was found at his usual place as
soon as the case was closed. He was
again subpoenaed in the Beatty trial, anil
disappeared again. Detectives bave been
searching for him ever siuce, but bave
been unable to locate him.
Monday, Dempsey took tbo staud in de
fense of Beatty, but became confused, and
contradicted himself in cross-examination.

Tuesday, Beatty testified in his own de
fense; in cross-exannuation was confronted
with some letters he had written regarding
the fees of the doctors and other matters
to a member of the Advisory Committee.
Tbe names of the persons mentioned in the
letters were concealed by the Court.
On Wednesday the case was argued,
and next day it went to tbe jury.
Jack Clifford's trial was expected to
come next.

Rutherford B. Hayes.
CARL SCHrBZ. 15 HARPIR'S WIESIT.
The popnlar jadgment of the character ot
ex-President Hayes and ot his public ser
vices has no donbt been injuriously affected
by the circumstance that tbe rightfulness
of his election to tbe Presidency was sub
jected to serions question. This circum
stance gave peculiar point to the bitter
hostility of the opposing party, while tbe
most powerful interests in hi* own. pre
tending to have "made'' him, found in it a
for demanding of him more than
ordinary subserviency to their behests,and
accused hira of ingratitude when that sub
serviency was refused. But whatever
opinion may be held of the true result of
the Presidential election of 1870. there was
not the slightest ground for believing, nor
has ever any body sincerely believed, that
Mr. Hayes had sought in the remotest de
gree to influence tbe action of tbe Elector
al Commission which declared him elected;
and it must be evident to everv candid
mind that when the verdict to the Elector
al Oimmisson had been adopted and
solemnly ratified by both Houses of Con
gress, it was not only his right bat his duty
as a good citizen, by accepting the Presi
dency awarded to him, to give final effect
to that settlement of one of the most peril
ous contests in the history of this republic.
He could not do otherwise, and every
patriotic citizen, of whatever political
party, having the true interests of the
country sincerely at heart, would have act
ed as he did. His qualities as a man and
his conduct as a public servant should
therefore be judged upon their own merit.,
independently of the doubt which hucg
over bis election to the Presidency.
It may be said without exaggeration
that public station in this country has
seldom if ever been graced by a man of
purer character, or higher and more con
scientious conception of duty, and more
natriotic motives. His career tn private as
well as in public life was throughout that
of a model citizen. He was born in Ohio
in 18°2 Having received a liberal educa
tion "he devoted nimselt to tbe practice ot
the law and won tbe general esteem of the
profession and of the public by the solidity
of his abilities and acquirements, and a
conscientious preformance of his duties
He sought and found congenial companion
ship among persons of culture and high
character. His principles and sympathies
maoe him an antislavery man. When,
after the out break of the secession move
menta, the national government called for
defenders, he promptly abandoned his
prosperous professional practice and joine.l
the array. The wounds he receivi d attest
ed his vaior. By "Kallant and meritorious
conduct iu battle," and by giving evidence
of the capability of leadership, he earned
tor himself the rank and command of a
general officer, and a place among tbe
bravest and ablest of our citizen soldiers.
In 1864 a nomination for the Congress
sought biin, and hu was elected while serv
tug iu the field. In 1867 he was nominat
ed for the Governorship of Ohio, and elect
ed to that office twice in succession, with
iua}«>ritien. on© turning
upon the reconstruction measures, and tbe
other upon the financial honesty of the
national government, of which he became
one of the sturdiest and most unoompro
mising champions. His administrations as
Governor were without flaw in point of
rectitude and good policy. Nominated for
Congress ia 1872, he was defeated by a
strong combination of opposing forces, and
then retired from public life, as he expect
ed, forever. But he was called forth dgaiu
by' a nomination for the Governorship in
1875, which he reluctantly accepted, and
then he led in that famous campaign for
••souud money," the victorious issue of
of which sealed the final defeat ot the
papor-ir.flation movement.
It was not surprising that the modest
wan whom public place had so often
sought, instead of his seeking it, who by
meritorious service had to such ft degree
won the esteem and confidence of his fel
lowcilizens without making enomies, and
who had become so conspicuous a repre
sentative of public integrity and souud
i olicies, should have been selected by_ the
National Republican Convention of 1876 as
a sate man to iead vile party —theu senou--
Iv discredited by the expo.-ure of corrupt
practices under General Grant's second
administration —ouce more to victory The
doubtful result ot the election, and the
iUu,!»rou. tnat followed and was
finally settled in favor of Mr. Hayes, are
well remembered President Hayes as
sumed the duties of his office under cir
cumstances ol unusual difficulty. Had ho
been a selfish politician, or a man of no
more than an ordinary measure of moral
courage, he would have sought the favor of
Ihe most powerful elements ol his party,
that they might light hts battles for him.
This he "did not do He had nothing in
view but tbe great interests ol the country.
In his letter ot acceptance he had, accord
ing to convictions long entertained, laid
great stress upon the necessity of a
thorough reform of the civil service. In
his inaugural address he reiterated with
emphasis his determination to carry on
that reform. He formed his cabinet not
with a view to pb-aso the party potentates,
but with a view to the successful execu
tion ot the work to be done. 118 had hard
ly entered tbe White Hou<e when he be
gan his preparations for the withdrawal
of the troop from "the States lately iu re
bellion"—that great and wise measuro of
pacification which relieved the Southern
people ot the curse ol ro-called carpet bag
rule, gave them back tbeir self-govern
rneut. and became the starting point of
that prosperous development which we
now behold The Treasury Department
at once vigorously prepared for the re
sumption of specie payments and the re
duction and funding ol the national debt
nt a lower rate of interest. The President
by executive order warned public officers
against meddling with party politics and
tbe levying of political assessments; com
pi-titive examinations, discontinued uuder
President Grant, were resumed in several
of the departments in Washington and the
great government offices in New York,and
r-übsequently iwo of the principal and
mo!,t influential officers in New York were
removed on the ground that they had
made their offices headquarters of political
management—an act highly offensive to
powerful party leaders.
While the-e measures were received with
favor by the intelligent patriotism of the
country, they aroused the resentment of
the practical politicians high and low—
tbe withdrawal of the troops from '.he
South, be.cause it would turn Iteßubliean
into Democratic Slates; the civil service
reform measures, because they curtailed
the patronage domain of the member of
Congress and the party magnate. Thus
the opposition to the President in Congress
and in tbe party councils grew steadily in
strength and violence. The recommend
tions made by tbe President and the
beads of departments werecontemptuously
tLrown aside. Even the financial measures
of the administration were hampered, and
a silver bill passed over the President's
vote. Hut lie stood firmly by his princi
ples. The South rn policy was maintain
ed, the resumption of specie payments sue
cessfully effected, and the financial honor
of the country preserved. It is true that
the practical reform of the civil service fell
short ol the original programme; but con
sidering that his predecessor bad abaudon
ed the whole system, that President Hayes
anil the heads of the departments under
him had to work without any appropria
tions for tbe purpose, and were at every
step obstructed and assailed by a hostile
Congress, it is leniarkable not that not
more, bnt that so much of permanent value
was accomplished. If President Hayes did
not carry through a complete reform of the
civil service, he certainly saved that re
form Iroin utter annihilation, and gave it a
new and vigorous impulse without which
its subsequent progress would hardly bavo
been possible And more than this; from
the very day of President Hayes's advent
to power that spirit of profligacy which
had spread to an alarming extent in poli
tical circles rapidly gave way to a high
tone to conscientiousness, integrity, and
honor. Even the society of the capital re
ceived a new and most wficlesorae in
spiration fr >m the purity and sweetness of
the family life at the White House. No
attentive observer could fail to bo struok
by the salutary transformation.
The ordinary politician has been, and
probably will remain, fond of saying that
the administration ol President Hayes was
a political failure. But what is political
success? II it consists iu the organization
and the support ol a large lollowiug of
beuchmau who shout tbe praises of the
leader that feeds theui, or in securing the
support ol Congrecs by pamperiug its
members with patronage, theu President
Haves certainly failed. But il it consists
in Revising and carrying through measures
and policies salutary to the country, then
the adiniuistrutiou ol Preeident Hayes,
which sowed new sends of peace, pat
riutiiti), and prosperity iu "tbe States late
ly iti rebellion," which carried through tbe
resumption of specie payments, which gave
new and vigorous vitality to ihe then
moribund reform of the civil service, which
ioluftd.o atrw »yuit of purity cua
•eienoe Into onr political life, Kid which
then fw followed by • Tietory of it# party
mainly owing to tbe jvaeral contentment
with the recent conduct ot the g .rern
ment, has been the most successful of all
Republican administration* excepting only
that of Abraham Lincoln. That President
Haves might have accomplished still more
had he possessed a less optimistic and a
m«>re combative temperament in true. But
no fair minded man will compare that
which he did accomplish with the obstacles
he had to overcome without recognizing in
him state-man lilte good sense as well as
firmness of purpose of a high order Nor
conld anv one knowing him fail to admire
and to love the genuineness of bis patriot
ism. the wann generosity of bis heart, and
the thorough noblenr-ss of hi J character.
After the expiration of his term as
President he gave his li'e to philanthropic
work. He died atter a short illness, and
was laid into his grave on the 20th of
January.

The Orphan School Scandal
At Harrisburg last week the failure of
the Committee appointed to investigate
'he Orphan Schools to make a report, was
generally commented upon.
The committee consisted originally ot
Senators Grady and Lloyd, Kepresontative-i
Haker—now a senator—Nesbit of Alle
gheny and Gillan of Franklin. Mr. Baker
iras made chairman of the committee, and
iir. Gillan, becoming dissatisfied at the
manner in which the investigation wa«
conducted, resigned, and Mr. Flad of
Gaston was placed on the committee in his
stead.
Before resigning Mr. Gillan declared that
when be endeavored to insert the pro IK*
aad asked questions of any moment ob
jections were made by the syndicate's
attorney, Gen. J. P. S. Gubin, now presi
dent pro tern, of the senate, and the ob
jections were always sustained by the chair
in an and a majority of tbe committee.
The charges are that the com aittse has
not tried to learn the truth in regard to ttie
illtreatmout of the soldiers' orphans and
tho vast sums of money made by the
Wright syndicate from tao stat" appro
priations, though it has itself exhausted
$4,000 of the $.1,000 appropriated for the
purposes of the investigation. Inquiry at
the auditor-general's department elicted
tbe fact that $2,500 bad been drawn before
tbe incoming of Gen. Gregg and $1,500 has
been drawn since Gen. Gregg took charge
of the department. The ooiumittee has
held six meetings and it is claimed these
have thus cost nearly S7OO each. No item
ized statement has yet beon filed because
it is customary iu these ca->os for tbe chair
man of commitees to draw tbeir warrants
until the whole amount of the apptopri a
tion is exhausted or the investigation ends.
After this the cha>rmau files an itemized
statement of expenses of the committee.
It is further charged that when the com
mittee met iu Harrisburg the syndicate de
clined to produce its books on the ground
they were too large and bulky to convey
from Mercer. When the committee went
to Mercer the only book submitted was a
-tnali day-book, which contained no figures
of any value. On being asked abeut the
books which were to heavy to take to Har
risburg the syndicate flatly refused to
produce them The comittee. with power
to send for persons and papers, *S' snub
bed.
It is further charged that ex-Congress
ran Sam Miller, though willing to testify
before the committee, was not called. Mil
ler, as attorney for the syndicate, miglit
be lully inlormed regarding it as it wa
his evidence in bis suit for fees that at first
disclosed the fact that the syndicate had
made $168,000 out of the schools ia twelve
years.
It is further charged the committifP neg
lected to call other witnesses who w<-re
possessed of information that children in
tbe schools were compelled to wear cloth
ing worn by previous inmates instead of
new clothing they were supposed to have.
That iustead of good, wholesome food
they were feed on short rations,and among
the persons named who would be willing to
te-tity to theso laets i< tne governor of tbe
Prospect Odds and Ends.

prominent men in their head* a- tall.sir«>r.,-
and distinguished 111 appcarauce. Capta n
Ricketts is a rather short, slight man, a. 1.
iu boyhood w»«known as "Runt Rteket' ,
his elder brothers being all men if moie
than ordinary stature
But his battery blazed a fiery pathway
on many a battlefield. At Gettysbuig 11
stood on East Cemetery Hill, aud when
tbe Louisiana Tigers charged up to th
summit ami turned yn.- of their own gu -
upon the men, there was a hand-to-tianit
fight unequaled for fierceness in ino.le'ti
warfare. Revoivers.bavoiict.-.hand
shovels, pickaxes and stoues Were
weapons used iu ttiu struggle, and for
time pandemonium seemed on tja' parti*
uiar spot of earth.
Just as as tbe Tigers reached tiie ere t
of the bill an artillery 1.1 in, pale and trein •
ling with fear, said to Rickette: "Captan.
I'm awfnl sick. May Igo to the rear''"
Ricketts knew th it il i-ua started to rui.
a panic might follow. Drawing his r«vo,
ver, he pointed at tbe fellow s head au
(aid: "If you don t take your place. I*l
make you sicker !"
He went baek to hi- an 1 a few uo.

But all this "is another story."
Not long ago an ex-Confedera'e officer
visited W ilkesbarre and was introduced to
Captain Ricketts. "Ricketts?" he nam.
"That name sounds familiar. I was in the
charge on Rickett's battery at Uetty sburg."
"Well," said the gei tlt-man who bail in
troduced tbem, "this is the commander of
that battery."
The Southerner stepped back and sur
veyed "Runt" Rickets Iroui bead to foot.
Then be said, apparently half to bimsrlt:

"Battery Hell" was the forcible, but not
altogether inappropriate name bestowed
upon this famous battery by tto rebels who
fa.ed it olteu, and always to tbeir sor

"That reminds me," said Mr. Grow, "of
