In the controversy between France and Siam the Government which claims to lead in the civilization of the world shows it- G«lf to be much lower ia the seals of real civilization than the Government ranked as half civilised. The reply of Siam to the French ultima tum is marked by such moderation and isimeas as should at this state of civilisa tion make war impossible. It is reported that some portions of, the Siamese reply have been suppressed by the French for eign office; bnt enough is published to make hostilities a crime against humanity. A Government which proposes in the face of peremtory demands to ponish all offend ers; to deposit an indemnity fund to meet all damages; to concede a considerable share of the territory claimed and to sub mit all disputed points to arbitration sets an example to civilisatiou in honest and flair efforts to avoid war. A government which rejects all these conciliatory offers and proceeds to make war on a weaker na tion, shows itself to be governed by mo tives of greed and selfishness and virtually declares the international principle that the stronger can rob the weaker wherever he finds it practicable and safe. If it is glory for a rich and strong power to attack and plunder a weak and ill-armed one, the French policy may lead along THE path of lory. If it is civilisation to rav age and destroy the homes of ignorant Asi atics to aggrandize French colonial inter ests, the French attack on Siam is in the line ei civilisation. If it is Christianity to rob and oppress, the French may be exem plifying that religion. But by all true standards of Christianity, civilisation and glory the sp«ct»ole ot a great European power seeking a quarrel with a weak Asi atic nation, for the plain purpose of seiz ing its territory, is a disgrace to the nine teenth century. If the French Republic persists in this international crime it will justly forfeit the sympathy and friendship of the civilized world. The time should be far in the past when the strong can rob the weak with im punity, or the civilised powers divide up the possessions of smaller nations.—Dis patch. Thb new invention of Mr. Turpin to Whom the world is indebted for the dis covery of melenite, the most powerful ex plosive in existence, seems destined ii not to render war impossible at any rate to render the artillery now in existance alto gether superfluous. It coosists of a very light gun and carriage drawn by two horses and, four charges can be fired within the space of fifteen minutes, each of which throws 25,000 ballets over a surface of 20,000 square yards. The range of the gun ia two miles. Gen. Harrison's Views. Ex-President Harrison is qnoted as fol lows regarding the business and political situation: "The Sherman act is not alone respon sible for the prevailing want of confidence that this country now experiences. The distrust is not against silver only. It is not against government issue of money; people are not holding gold throughout the country. Relatively, gold is circulated as freely as is silver. People are holding gold from the circulating banks or the sav ings institutions, and are locking it in safe deposit vaults, or hiding it away in old stockings. They do this, not because they have no confident* in government money, bat because they are fearful of business calamities. This distrust is increasing and the outlook is gloomy. The Sherman act is not the sole caose of bad times. That measure has served its purpose, it is true, bat it is not responsible for the depression whioh overhangs commerce, trade and ag ricultare. "The present party in power came in on a statement of its principles, formulated and promulgated at Chicago, where a gath ering which represented a diversity of pol itical beliefs and prejudices gave this state ment to the country as the platform of the Democratic party. It was announced to the country that the existing system of traffic should be modified to the extent of a tariff for revenue only. On this basis the candidates of the party now in power were elected. The enormous manufacturing in terests were of course duly impressed and became compelled to suit themselves to the condition to which the Chicago plat form must logically lead. It Is Impossible to bridge over suddenly ihe wide chasm between comparative free trade and the protective tariff system, under which the nation grew rich, without prolonged con vulsions in trade. Great economic chang es do not adjust themselves with electric ity, hence, fearing changes, factories stop, workshops close and prices shrink. If the Chicago enunciation of principles is to be maintained, business men mast prepare for a change. According to its principles the government is pledged to reduce the tariff to the standard of the Chicago con vention. The business of the country can not prosper under the circumstances. Bis trust is widespread, everything languish es. The heterogenous political elements that will meet at Washington in August will represent free trade and many theories con trary to business stability. The conserva tive people of the country stand aghast at possibilities ol legislation, and are trim ming sails to suit the weather. The out look is dark because it is difficult to see how relief is to come. The distrust might be dispelled, perhaps, bnt how T In one seme the situation is theatrical, excite ment may be calmed by a stroke ol inspir ation. A panic ia sometimes averted by a band striking up a popular air, just as the frightened crowd is about to rush and trample over one another. How can the present analagoas condition be changed by suddenly inspired confidence t The lead- Ki af the party in power will scarcely ac owledge that iu principles are mistaken ones, that the Chicago platform was false and should be repudiated. I can see, no Moses at present who will lead the busi ness world out of its Egyptian darkness.'' IT in said that (he only man living whose father fought in the battle of Concord i« Luke Smith, of Acton. Kau. He is a lit tle over HO years old, but remember* with the utmost clearness the account of it giv en him by hia father, Solomon Smith. Sensible Suggestive Remedies. Here are some suggestions from a non partizan standpoint—the Jmertctiu ifatiu torturer —worthy 01 sober, and studious contemplation:— "It is true that the re peal of the Sherman law will relieve the treasury department of the burden of pur chasing 4,500,000 ounces or thereabouts of silver each month, and the stoppage of the coinage of silver dollars will reduce the currency by that amount of coinage, and stop the production of a dollar not worth a gold dollar, and which is practically a to ken. But outside of our trade with foreign nations this 60-cent or 70-cent dollar makes no disturbance. No one in the United States refuses to take it as a dollar, bar ring its weight, as the greenback or the national bank note. For all practical uses except the simple one of paying a foreign adverse trade balance the silver dollar is to-day as good as the gold dollar. Would it not be wise then instead of blotting out the dollar to see first if we can't blot out the dollar of adverse trade balance t Wouldn't it be more to the credit and ad vancement of the nation to get rid of the adverse trade balance and secure a favor able one so that gold would flow to us in stead of away from our shores t Wo could easily suggest a way to accomplish this. Don't buy so much abroad. Put up the tariff. Use more of our own products. There is a relation between this monetary question and the tariff that has been but little appreciated. If True It's War. NEW TO»K, July 25—The World's Bang kok dispatch Bays: The French ultimatum has been reject ed. The Siamese offer in reply to the ultima tum has been rejected. Diplomatic relations between the French and the Siamese Governments have been terminated. French citizens here have been placed under the diplomatic protection of the Government of the Netherlands. Bloodshed in a Race War. The village of Priceburg, three miles from Soranton, Pa., was the scene of bat tles last Saturday and Sunday in which 400 men engaged and in which three were ao badly wounded they will likely die. Twenty men have been arrested and the police are looking for 50 more. At night a large number of miners con gregated at a saloon in Pricebnrg. A quar rel arose between a Hungarian and Poland er. Blows were struck, and then the specta tors took a hand. The Hun was vigorous ly beating hi* antagonist when the Pole's country men assailed the victorious combatant. Then other Hugarians entered the fight. Heavy clubs that had been used as canes were now used with dreadful effect. Faces were pounded, skulls cracked and bodies bruised. The noise of the conflict aroused other miners, who hastened to the spot and took ride*. The police made a raid upon the fighters, captured four of the Hungarians and locked them in the station house. This infuriated their comrades and they massed a mob of 100 men and stormed the little toil. They battered down the door and the officer in charge was forced to flee. Then the four prisoners were set at liber ty. The Polanders became lrenxied at this, and they began onslaughts upon the Huns from every direction. Both factions arm ed themselves with sticks, stones and some carried guns. They raided saloons every where in search of their foes, driving out the owners and consuming the liquor. Maddened by drink they rushed through the street*, terrorizing the town. All classes not buns or Poles flocked together for mu tual protection. There were tally 400 men and boys engaged in the terrible conflict. The Priceburg officials a<jked Acting Sheriff Kyan for help, and he dispatched Deputy Craig and a posse to quell the riot. They arrived at midnight. The Deputy Sherifi found three Hanga rians so badly injured that their wounds are likely to be fatal. One man's earn had been cut off W the angry Poles More than thirty of the combatants were bleed ing from wounds, and the injuries of some were serious. SOUTH CAROLINA'S ill-considered dis pensary law, with its resultant legal muddles., promises to make as fine a har vest for the a ttorneys as it has done for the "blind tigers." The latest discovery is that many of the bottles in use by the State give short measure; and no true South Carolina freeman era be expected to stand that. Of the twenty-two dispen saries opened by the State, one-third are already in the Courts. A State blate. [From the Pittsburg Gazette of Tuesday.] Unless the state is broken, the Republi can State nominations this year will be Judge Fell of Philadeliftia forthe Supreme Bench and Speaker Thompson of Warren for Btate Treasurer. In selecting these names part of the tickot for next year was made up. This includes Gen. D. U. Has tings of Bellefonte for Governor, Congress man "Jack" Hobinson of Media for Lieu tenant Governor and Gen. Frank Ileeder of Philadelphia for Secretary of the Common wealth under Gov. Hastings. It has been only within a day or two that these arrangements have been effect ed. B. F. Haywood of Mercer county, who became well known to the basiuess people of the State through bis position as receiv er of the failed banks at Clearfield and Houtzdale, was early in the race for the Treasurers!) ip. He bad no clear track as Speaker Thompson announced himself before the adjournment of the Legislature. Senator Harlan of Chester county was out, but be cause of his residence in the East, when Philadelphia wants Jndge Fehl, has never been strongly in it. Nearly all of Allegheny's state delega tion have favored Haywood. Thf.r would still be supporting • him, but yesterday Senator Quay and C. L. Magee caused it to become known that tbey would bo for Thompson in the convention to be held August 25. Both the Senator and Magee are the leaders of the delegations in Hea ver and Allegheny counties, and their support of Thompson means the Philadel phia delegates will join hand in band, thus insuring, they hope, the nomination of Thompson. The cannes which led to this determine tion are many. It has been conceded all along that one each of the two State offices this year should go to the Kast and West. Philadelphia from the start has been wed ded to Judge Fehl. The other office lay between Haywood and Thompson Gen. Hastings wants to be the gubernatorial candidate next year, and the machine fa vors him. Gen. Iteeder wanted the place, too, but be was disposed of at the Bedford confer ence by an agreement giving him the chief placo in Hastings' cabinet. The bosses hope the difficulty presented by Stone of Warren has been overcome through tho declaration in favor of Thomp son by Magee and (juay. Congressman Stone is from the same county, and after the speaker is treasurer be cannot claim the nomination, as bis county will have one representative in the State offices. In this way tbero will be a clear track built for Gen. Hastings. There ii one curious incident in the de cision of Quay and Magee to support Thompson. In the Senator's county hit •on, Richard, who was SM adherent of Haywood, bad early set up the delegates ol Heaver for the Mercer man. Now their instruction* will be changed. i n Alle gheny county nil but a few delegate! fa vored Haywood, but the delegation when it organizes will declare for TbompHon if it obey* inn traction*. i NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. Two children of George McClell&n, near Rainsburg, Bedford county, a boy aged about 7 and a girl aged 6 year?, while playing at their home one day last week, discovered a revolver lying on a cupboard shelf. The boy took the weapon and while explaining to his sister how it work ed shot her through the head with the one undischarged cartridge it contained. It has been learned that Joseph McCal mont. a man who left his team at Frew s livery stable in Beaver Falls and has not called for it since, is in New Galilee. Mc- Calmont lives near Rose Point and went to Beaver Falls, and got drnnk. He start ed for the livery stable but it seems that he failed to reach it and started on a vaca tion with the proceeds of the sale ol a load of new potatoes. An Oil City man was badly poisoned a few days ago by wiping his fsce with his hands while engaged in weeding his gar den. The poison from the weeds swelled his face to twice its natural size and near ly destroyed his eyesight. The safe course for a man with a garden is to keep out of it during the weed season. Fully five hundred people witnessed a reaping contest lately on Win. Campbell's farm in Beaver county, which proved an eiciting event. A pretty tough grain field had to be cleared up and it would be a difficult matter to decide as to the merits of the various machines, owing to the af fair ending in a jangle. For a year past, the reaper companies have sued numerous farmers for nonpayment on reaping machines. This has created considerable bad feeling. One word brought on another, until Mr. Lance, of the Pony Deering, jumped from his machine und slapped Mr. Gillespie, of the Adriance. A free-for-all fight was only averted by the cool-headad nesa of a number of onlookers. Eliza Wynkoop, of Watr-essn-g, X.|J., is in love with three young men all of whom want to marry her. To settle the question as to who shall have her without a contest with gloves she has set a hen with three eggs and marked eacti with the name of one of her suitors. The egg which hatches out first is the one she will marry. A young farmer who lives near Ravenna 0., has hit upon a happy thought to re duce the amount of labor required to till his fields. Instead of laying out his fields square or nearly so, he had laid them out narrow and they extend the entire length of his farm. By this means he avoids turning corners so many times which is a loss of time. Ue can reap ten acres of gram by going up and down the field six time*. People interested in agriculture might try this with profit. The Titusville correspondent of the Oil City Derrick tell the following amusing stories of two fresh air children who are snuffing the atmosphere of Titusville; One of them, a boy, was served with pie at the first dinner after his arrival, lie promptly asked, "W'ere's de cheeset" When he was told that there was none, he said in a dis gusted tone: "Hell! pie without cheese? ' Another, a little girl, seeing the gentlemen with whom she is stopping having beer at supper, and none being offered her, she said, "I want some beer." She was told that there was no more, and immediately she offered her services to go out and "rush the growler." Wm. C. Justice, a well known theatrical advance man residing at New Castle, met with a fearful accident last Saturday whilt arranging some bills into different piles on the stage of Allen's opera houso. Stage Carpenter Lynn was working up in the flies a distance of 75 feet when a heavy 'ron crowbar, with pointed end, fell from his hand and struck Justice near the right shoulder blade and went clear through bis body. The lung atd liyer were injured, lie cannot live. Honry Hoffman of Allegheny worried over a pitent bottle and then committed suicide by cutting his throat. A swindling commission firm of Pittsburg came to grief last week. They secured shipments of poultry, fruits, etc., from the country, but paid for nothing. A very sad accident occurred at Freeport last Friday evening that ended in the death of Wayne, alO year old son of Mr. Frank Haine?, who keeps a restaurant of Fifth St. The boy had been over town and was re turning to his home on Todd's island. At the crossing on Fifth street a freight train was going east. The boy was standing on the westbound track waiting till the freight would pass. It was time for the Blairsville express and it came along at a high rate of speed. It struck him, killing him instantly, breaking his neck and crush ing his skull. The body was picked up and taken to Turner's undertaking rooms and prepared for burial. A great many people censure the railroad officials l'or running trains through the borough at such a high rate of speed and having no watchman at the crossings. A very serious joke was played on Mr. Joseph, the popular clothier of Kittanning, while visiting the fishing camp on Buffalo creek last week. Some of the campers in a jocular mood put a turtle head in his coat pocket, and shortly afterwards, when Mr. Joseph put his hand in his pocket, his thumb got into the turtle's mouth and the muscles of the dead animal working con vulsively closed on his thumb. Asa con sequence he has beer, nursing a very sore and painful thumb for the past week. A wealthy farmer of Fayette City named Kobert Elliott was caught for 13,600 by two slick swindlers, Tuesday. The wife of General Manager Williams of the Nelson—Morris Moat Co. of Alle gheny gave the wife ol ex-Postmaster Myler a cowhiding, Monday. The wife and two children of Geo. Stfhmons of Pittsburg were killed while sleeping, by blows from a hammer, and Schmons is under arrest. While engaged in cultivating his corn a (ew days ago, Thomas Porter, of Wilining ton townibip, Mercer county, had occas ion to tie his horse to rail fence, while in this situation bis dog started up a rabbit, The pursuer and pursued ran under the borse, frightening the animal which sprang suddenly forward anil wan impaled on a fence stake, expiring from the effects of its wound immediately. On the night of the 13th inst., the shift ing crew and locomotive from the Pitts burg A Western It. It. at Kllwood City went lo the Thompson Kun coal works to run in a train of loaded gondolas. The track was wet and slippery, the grade heavy, and the engineer lost control of his heavy train in spite of the fact that the wheels were loose d fast and the engine was reversed. Down the grade thundered the runaway, at a gait of a mile in less than 50 seconds, until a sharp curve wan reached, when six of the cars loft the track and dashed over the hillside. The locomo tive and rear car kept the track. Brake man llarry Baggy, a young man who lived with his mother at Kllwood City, wad oil the train and crushed into a shapeless mass The rest of the crew escaped by being in the mar car which did not go over. Coroner Crane, of Beaver county, held an inquest on tbo body of Buggy at Ellwood City and a verdict of accidental death was rendered. A M I'M iiKft of mills in New England have shut down, throwiog thousands ol work poeple out of employment, and other shut downs aro predicted. The calamity shout ers of tho west ar« sot in it with the east this year. FIVE llCSDßKD strikers headed by ahuu dred women attacked some miners in the strip pits near Weir City, Kansas, last Thuriday and forced them to quit work. Several men and one w omen were wound ed in the the melee. I The Knd of the Majors Case. The llajors family, that figured so prom inently in the sensational law suit in the Beaver county courts two months ago, have at last agreed to settle all matters pertaining to their trouble. Samuel Majors the plaintiff is to receive an equal share in his father's estate, and the three brothers who tried so hard to prove Samnel an ille gitimate child of their mother's before a court and jury, are now detnrmined to abide by their defeat and allow matters to drop. It was durinjr the trial that many sen sational facts came out. Old Mrs. Majors, feeble and tottering, was placed on the stand in behalf of the defendants. She de nied that Samnel was a Major, and told in cidents connected with his birth that dragged a family skeleton from the closet after being hidden for over 55 years. She said he was the son of a farmer named Davidson, It was supposed that Samuel's disgrace would be completed after Mrs. Major's tes timony was given. Such was not the case, however. Instead he coolly assisted his counsel in examining testimony, and although everything appeared against him, he finally won the case. The most pathetic incident connected with the whole trial was when old Mrs. Majors was seated in the witness chair. In producing the testimony the prosecution raised before her tear stained eyes an old tombstone which for years rested at the head of her first child's grave. The aged mother gazed at the board for several mo ments, and the silence in the court room was intense. She gave her testimony and later left the court room sobbing pitifully. Attorney Cunningham reports that his aged witness is now in very poor health. The grief and humiliating experience in the Beaver court, was a little too ranch for her neives, and she has been under doc tor's treatment ever since. The feeling, Mr. Cunningham says, existing between his client and the other members of the family are anything but friendly. He add ed that if they had it to do over again no snch legal proceedings would ever have been entered. 24 Persons Injured. The second section of the P. «fc W. ex press, westbound, was wrecked one mile east of Munroe Falls about 4:30 Tuesday morning. Spreading of rails caused the wreck at a point where there is a short curve in the track. Three of the coaches, loaded with passengers, most of whom were on their way to Chicago, were thrown down a 10-foot embankmant. Nobody was killed outright, but twenty-four were injured, five of them, it is thought,serious ly. All of the maimed were taken to Ak ron by special train and sent to the City hospital. About a dozen doctors from Ak ron went down with thein. The Price of Silver. The price of silver still continues to fall under the influence of the policy adopted by Acting Director of the Mint Preston,and holders of bullion last Monday offered 286,000 ounces at prices varying from C 9.7 to 70.5 cents per ounce. All these figures were in excess of what Mr. Preston calcu lated was the market price, and they were all declined and offers made at 69.6 cents. Holders of 107,500 ounces accepted the department's offer after close of business. Notwithstanding the fact that Secretary Carlisle's unqualified approval of Mr Pre«ton's course has destroyed every hope of a reversal of the policy of the depart ment in regard to the purchase of silver, holders of bullion still continue to hold off in hope of an increase in price, and the smallness of the amount offered has satis fied officials of the department that they will not be able to get the full ainounl of the 4,500,000 ounces this month under the system they have adapted. Water is a good Conductor. G. H. Kuhner, who is a bartender for Joo Dieves, on the San Leandro road, met with a peculiar accident. He has now learned by sad experience that electricity ia a dangerous thing to monkey with. The Oakland, San Leondro and Hay wards electric line passes the door of Dieyea saloon. Mr. Kuhner did not hive much to do yesterday, so he attached the hose to a faucet and commenced to water the street. He had not heard much about electricity and did not know that certain causes pro duce certain effects. The bartender saw the innocent-looking trolley wire before him. The copper shone bright in the afternoon sun. "I wonder if this stream can reach that wire," said Mr. Kuhner to himself. Then he raised the stream to test his guess. The water struck the wire square, and in an instant the bartender was standing on his head and the hose was playing on"hun. He received a terrible shock, and is now confined to his room. He says that be is sore all over. Mr. Kuhner has had a practical lesson on the power of electricity. Petrolia Items. Oar town is looking up; now buildings are going up.

While George Farleieh of Danbury, Conn., was haying last week, he lifted a fork fall of hay. and fell to the ground with the hay on top of hitn. When picked up Fraleigh had hold of a big black Fnake, which was coiled about his neck. The ser pent did not bite. Every day since at the same hour that the snake wound itself around the man's neck, he has been taken with choking spasms and lits of strangulation aud is growing weaker every day. The case is being watched by loral physicians, whose efforts to allay his sufferings have thus far failed. Rev. Breadenof West Sunbnry was vis iting relatives in Beaver Co. la>t week a:id distinguished himself as an athlete. lie was walking in Raccoon tv.-p. and stopped to take a re-t, leaned backward ugiinst a fence, placing his arm on the rail behind him, and was badly frightened to lirnl a largo blacksnake on the top rail. He sprang into the air and lauded on the other side of the fence, clearing tho rail without a scratch. The snake jumped down and showed light. The Rev. although badly rattled, killed it. it measured 6 feet S inches long and girthed 10 inches at the middle. The fence was over 5 feet high. A reporter of the Clarion Democrat tells of a man who was nearly drowned recently by an immense eel winding itself around the man's leg while he was swimming in the Clarion river. That reporter is wanted on some bigger papers. lie's needed un til tho close of the snake season. The other afternoon Sam Wingard, who is working on tho new Helling house at Ellwood had a narrow escape irom a cop perhead snake. He was putting siding on the house and happened to notice a snake near the wall. Ho knew at once from its color that the snake was a copperhead and called Frank Moon, who was working near. Mr. Wingard took a piece of board and struck the snake and then held tho board on it. As soon as the snake saw escape was impossible it twisted its head around and sank its fangs into its own fleMh, while the poison oozed from its mouth. It was a genuine Hat-tailed cop perhead anJ wa.i about three teet long. Mr. Wingard thinks he had a narrow es cape as he had been working within two feet of the snake for an hour. In Jackson township, near Scranton, Alph Dick discovered a rattlesnake in liis barnyard. As he approached with a club the snake opened its mouth and a brood of twenty.one little rattlers slipped down their mamma's throat. Mr. Dick captured tho whole lot. "Will Eat Them Up. "Let the French put so much as a foot on Siamese land and we will eat them up," said PhraSurya Xutvate, chief commission er to the World's fair from Siam, at Chica go tho other day. At tho same time a clond of indignation swopt over tho mild mannered little man and only the absence of a Frenchman prevented I'hra N'utvate from putting his threat into execution forthwith and giving a cannibalistic scene then and there. "The ungrateful French," Phra Xutvate exclaimed, his black eyes snapping. "Thrco years ago his majestic the King of gave the French permis sion to explore the upper Mo Kong.

He sees the river banks lined for miles with iloating houses, the home of thousands and the sceno of busy trade. On one corner is the splendid palace of a nobleman and on the next the hovels of the very poor. Here are groups of Buddir-t priests in yellow garb, shielding their faces with fans for fear the sight of women will induce unholy thoughts, and near them are gangs of the toughest of convicts, clanking their chains as they toil in the streets. Here are lepers horribly repulsive, tinrc strained and clamorous for aims, and soon, perhaps, the king passes with a brilliant retinue, sitting on his state chair. Fine ladies have teeth as Mack as polished eb ony. It is only the vast army of lemale outcasts whose teeth are white. When a member of the royal house dies the crema tion ceremonies cost a fortune, and while thousands are watching the imposing dis play vultures are tearing dead bodies to pieces in the heart of Bangkok, and the poor are burying their dead, a couple of armluls of wood serving as the funeral pyre. One would think that such practices in a great city would breed a pestilence. Here is a great capital, in which nearly 800,000 people live who have absolutely no sani tary regulations. No quarantine guards the port against contagions diseases from abroad. The refuse of the kitchen is dump ed in front of palaces and splendid tem ples. A>" Italian killed an old man in Denver, Tuesday, and a mob of fifteen thousand men took him from jail and hanged him. DEATH& GRIFFITHS—At her home in Butler, July 19, 1893. Mrs. M. A.
