Of Connoquenessing twp A Drifting, Rudderless Hulk. Ths fight against the despotism of a minority has ended. The msjority has surrendered st discretion and the free booter reigns in the body which, having once listened spellbound to the eloquence of Webster, Calhoun and Clay, has de generated below the dignity of • ward caucus. In the Senate there is no god but silver, and Stewart is its chief prophet. Shades of the immortal Senatorial fathers! If there be aught in the tales of spiritual ists, if it be true that the invisible spirits of the dead come back to haunt their ac customed domiciles, if by any chance there were present in the Senate on Wednesday the shades of departed statesmen they must have wept for shame to note the depth of ignominy to which that once noble chamber had descended. In fancy one can picture John Adams, Thomas Jefforson, John Quincy Adams, Albert Gallatin, John C. Calhoun, Henry Clay, Robert Hayne, Daniel Webster, Thomas Benton, Zachariah Chandlers, Stephen A. Douglas, Ben Wade, Charles Sumner, Roscoe ConkHng, James G. Blaine, and others of the great though often misguid ed men who have sat in the Senate, watch ing with amazement the strangulation of public business by the stratagems of an ir responsible minority. Could these spirits of the dead have spoken there would have gone up a protest that would have shamed the tree-booting minority to silence. There would have been poured forth elo quence from tongues of fire which would have blanched the oheeks and cheoked the purpose of those bent on defeating the will of the people by the the trioks of the char latan. It is with shame that every true Ameri can citizen beholds the legislative branoh of our Federal government choked by a few sel fish and misguided men. There may be those who do not see anything serious in this. On the contrary, we have come to a crisis in our history from which future events will be marked. Heretofore the minority has often proved obstructive, has gained important concessions, has se cured delay, but never before has it assum ed to rule. Friends of the minority point to various events in our history when the debate lasted longer than this. True, but there was never a parallel case to the one in'hand. Abstract qnestions and constitu tional theories have made topics for very prolongated discussions. This session of Congress, however, was called together for a single purpose. The House respond ed quickly, bnt the Senate has been held up by silver miners, and there is no propect that the will of the majority oan be car ried out. Instead, we are told that we must accept some beggarly compromise at the dictation of the silver minority, or else the present law will remain in force. To this pass have we come, that the two Sen ators from Nevada, a State with far less population then our own city of Reading and about that of Harrisburg, oan send two men to the United States Senate who can hold up that body for years. Jones and Stewart, by dividing the time between them, could talk and prevent a Vote on any question so long as they were re-elected from the pocket borough they represent. Never in the history of this country has there been such an exhibition of unselfish and non-partisan conduot as has character ized the great mass of the Republican Sen ators in standing by the administration to which they were politically opposed. But the administration is impotent. The Dem ocratic party 1b split beyond redemption and at the price of a temporary truce some useless, ill-advised compromise is to be offered. Awsy with it! We will none of it! The Republican party will not coun tenance it. Let them do their worst since they have failed to accomplish their best, and let the people judge between the two parties. The Republican party will not help the Democratic party out of a hole, it will not help Mr. Cleveland out of his dilemma, it will do nothing except fight for the right. Its face is set toward the morning star. The day cometh and, in deed, now is when the people will retnrn from their idolatory of false gods to follow the right ones. A year ago we were told that all virtue reposed in the Democratic party and Grover Cleveland was its only prophet. The god Dagon has fallen, crushed in pieces, the eyes of the people are opened and they see already the re suits of trusting in that party. Six months of Democratic supremacy have bronght the nation to the verge of legislative anaroby. The despotism of a minority has well nigh murdered the Constitution. Mr. Voorhees, the administration leader, says in effect that the country is done ior, but declines to use the only means to saye the nation. He would rather do murder than force a vote against the will of the minority. Te gods, is this the sort of Sen atorial leadership we are given in this day. There was a Senate once which would have loomed to stoop to such ignominy. Throw Senatorial oourtesy to the winds and pass the Repeal bill. Any determined leader of the administration could secure hat end; but there is no leader. The Sen ate is a rudderless hulk, drifting on the seas, buffeted by every wave and at the mercy of the pirate. The national flag has been dishonored, national pride has re ceived a terrible blow. The safety of the people is no longer tho highest law and the Constitution is no law at all. Senator ial courtesy rules the land, while the nation groans and cries out in anguish for aid.

Pare religion * * " to keep himself unspotted from the world.—James, i., 27. A certain vsry rspnlsivs theory of morals manages to make its appearance once in every generation, but is quickly hissed off the stage by ths common sense of honest men and women. It impudently assets that a soul should make the acquaintance of sinful pleasures in order to reach a high spiritual level;that lust and even crime are a God ordained gymnasium in which the large hearted man may become robust and morally mus cular; that the deeper one has sunk in Tice the more ha would appreciate virtue; that it is a high and solemn dnty to explore the hell of a depraved life in order to get a true estimation of the value of heaven. This clownish logic reappears from time | to time just as comets do, robes itself in such tattered garments of plausibility as it can command, sets rogues a-wondering if they can find therein some excuse for their vulgarity, brings blushes of shame to every honorable cheek, and then slinks away as a nightmare does when one wakes up. Mr. Oscar Wilde has constituted himself the apostle of this gospel of filth. In his ignorance of history he assumes to look up on the theory as startlingly original and gives utterance to a series of platitudes which he chooses to regard as novel ideas. He is mistaken, however, in supposing | that he has made a discovery. As well might the British tourist who visits the Mammoth Cave for the first time write to the leading journals of the country that he has found something that human eyes have never seen before; for the problem of sin—why in the providence of a paternal Deity it is permitted to exist—has been discussed ever since man recognized him self as a tree agent, and the theological maniacs of every century have iterated and reiterated the nonsense in which Mr, Wilde indulges. Sin is to be avoided, not cultivated. One gets all the spiritual exercise he ineed* in combating the sturdy and cunning temp tations of life. It is not necessary to spend I one's youth in a cesspool in order to appre ciate the pure air above ground in his man hood. The injunction of revealed law is not to befoul yourself with tar that you may understand the beauty of cleanliness, but to preserve your cleanliness by never touching tar with the tips of your fingers. The man who is reeking with lust is not ! acquiring knowledge which will be valu able to him by and by. The poor victims who went to heaven from the Black Hole of Calontta would not have looked back on those dismal days as satisfactory if they had happened to escape death. Tell your boys that they will make bet ter men by indulging in all sorts of crimi nal license, that the deeper down they fall the higher they will climb in after life, and the chances are a million to one that you will lose the boys. Tell your girls that sin is simply a school in which to learn purity, encourage them to take long draughts of immorality on the grounds that Ood has put sin into the world for our spiritual ad vantage, and your theory will result in a womanhood without honor and a broken heart tor yonmlf. We are face to face here with a severely practical theory of education—namely, that a sometime indnlgenoe in vioe helps one to be good and heroic aud noble. If that be true, the outcast* of the city need only to repent and they will become better women than our mothers and sisters whose sonls have never been soiled. If that be true, the penitent pickpocket or murderer has a very valuable experience and will make a better angel than the man who has kept himself unspotted from the world. The Scriptures tell us a different story. While there is renewing mercy for man or woman who has fallen into the mire, and while God looks with pitying pardon on the besmeared soul that is washing itself with tears, it la a thousand times true that the man who has maintained his personal integrity in spite of evil environment has fought the better fight and achieved the grander victory. We are not here to sur render to sin, but to oonquer it, and the maintenance of a white character against the odds of temptation indicates the lof tiest manhood of which hnman nature is oapable. There is but one rule —namely, to hare an ideal at the start, and to be loyal to it to the end; to put aside evil thoughts and deeds for the same reason that you refuse to swallow poison; in other wojds, to make a clean record for yourself by doiag your duty in the world and keeping yourself un spotted from its stains.—New York Her ald. Heavy Loaa of Life New York, October 16.—The Heralds correspondent at Montevidio cables the fol lowing: Advices have been received here Btating that the Braiilian armored crniser Sete de Stembro, which was bound for Rio to join Admiral de Mellos's forces, ran ashore near Praia Grande. All of the crew es caped safely, but as soon as they were landed they w«Te made prisoners by Peixoto's forces .which wete stationed there. Farther details of the bombardment of Rio have been reoeived. The government forces suffered heavy losses, bat the govern ment is suppressing all reports of the casu alties. The rebel admiral's flagship opened the bombardment. There ww a contest for the possession of the government work shops of Armaco between the revolution ary forces and those of the government. When de Hallos realised that he could not obtain pofcsession of them peacably he opened fire. The bombardment was very destructive,and many buildings were badly damaged. Residents of the city fled in terror. Several of the shells from the insurgent fleet struok in the heart of the oity, killing many of the inhabitants. A shell from the Traiado recked the build ings occupied by the Rio St\cs and the American Bible Society. Many foreigners were killed and wounded. Among the buildings whioh suffered greatly from the bombardment was the police barraoks, whioh are situated near the custom hoase. The government forces numbering 2,000 and replied vigorously to the fire from the fleet. The land batteries had a few old Krupp guns mounted, and these were trained on tho rebel fleet, but none of the ships was injured. The in surgent fleet also bombarded Nichteroy, Domingos, Icaraby and Santa Rosa, sub urbs of Rio. The fire on all of them was destructive to property. It is also known that there was great losa of life, but the facts are suppressed by the government officials. A Rich Qold Diacovery.

M. of Friday by a motion of Mr. Voorhees to adjourn, which carried. Great difficulty was experienced during the night in keeping a quorum, and several members had notified Mr. Voorhees that they could stand it no longer. During the sessio-i Mr. Allen, the Popu list Senator from Nebraska talked for 1-tJ hours, thus making the longest speech on record. He proved himself an indefatigable talker. Nevsr in the United States was there such an exhibition of physical endur ance as that shown by him. He concluded his speech on the stroke of 8 o'clock, having been on the floor for 14} hours. During that time he occasionally sipped from a cnp of tea, but this was his only nourishment. His eyes were as cleal, his voice as strong, his gestures as vigorous as when he took the floor. Prior to Senator Faulkner was the record breaker, he having held the floor for 13 hours, during .the long de bate on the Force bill. Fully two-thirds of Mr. Faulkner's time, however, was spent in his seat resting, while efforts were being made to secure a quorum. Before that time the longest speech within the recol lection of Senators was of about 10 hours' duration, by Garret Davis, of Kentucky, during the reconstruction period. The only change in the situation in the Senate Monday was that of less talk of immediate compromise. The few repeal ers on the Democratic side pretended to feel more confident than for some time past, probably stiffened up by Mr. oor bees's declaration that the battle had just bogon. While there was less talk of com promise there was more talk of adjourn ment. Through more than one source Mr. Cleveland has let it be understood that he would rather have Congress adjourn with nothing accomplished than have the uncon ditional repeal of the Sherman act fail. If he cannot get what he wants, he does not want the country to get what the majority of the Senate would give it. The Democratic Senators who are work ing for repeal do not agree with the Presi dent that if repeal fails nothing should be done. They are ashamed to go before the country as a party with the record of meeting in extra session and not being able to enact one piece of legislation. Clark is Commander. The Union Veteran Legion national en campment finished its work at Cincinnati, Thursday. There were three candidates for national commander. Col. William A.

EMTOR:— Please give space in your valuable paper fot a short account of a surprise party which took plaoe at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Amos Young of Clay twp. As Mr. Young has just completed a fine house and moved into it. The friends and neighbors planned the party, it being Mrs. Tonng's birthday and it was a surprise in deed, as they were not thinking ot such a thing. Early in the morning the friends began to come from all quarters until there were quite a number present, and they took pos session of the premises and had their own way for one day at least. Of course it was necessary on such occasion for dinner which the ladies had taken good care to do. The gentlemen amused themselves in different ways until dinner was announc ed. Then the greatest attraction was in the dining room where the large tables were ladened down with the good things of this life, and it would be useless to say that all present did ample justice. After dinner the guests all assembled in the rooms and the meeting called to order and appointed Mr. R. C. McCandless, Esq , as Chairman and M. Gordon, Sec'y. The meeting opened by prayer by Rev. R- B. Starks, after which R. C. McCandless made a short speech in which he spoke of Mr. Young and bis wife as being held in high esteem by all their neighbors and friends. Mr. James Cranber, being pres ent, also made a few remarks in which he endorsed the sentiments of the former speaker. There being a goodly number of presents to be presented to Mr. and Mrs. Young, that duty fell to Rev. Starks to perform, which he did in that jovial man ner in which he is accustomed of doing, af ter which was presented to him a large cake, and if we were to guess what he thought we would sav that was good to be there. The meeting then being dis missed they all started for their several homes feeling that the day had been well spent. ORB WHO WAS THERE. October 9th, 1893. Peter grille Item*.

Three Johnstown young ladies, between 16 and 20 years of age, have been held for court on a charge of disturbing a religious meeting. They giggled audibly and other wise misbehaved during prayer. At a pre. liminary hearing in extenuation of their oondnct, the young ladies stated that a big black spider ran across the hand of one of their number making her jump, which caused the others to laugh. Another reason for their merriment was the break ing down of a seat occupied by a very fat woman and her precipitation to the floor. John W. Books, who was defeated for the Republican nomination for Sheriff of Indiana county at the primary election last spring, recently filed his nomination papers a* an Independent candidate, and on Mon day made an information against A. S. Campbell, D. W. Simpson and D. 'Walker Smith, charging them with malicions libel in connection with the circulating of the "mortgage circular" dnring the campaign. The accused entered bail for court, and, as an offset, Mr. Simpson made an in formation against Mr. Books, oharging him with indulging in the practice of gam bling. The farmers residing along the eastern border of Westmoreland county have tak en preliminary steps in the direction ot or ganixing a vigilance committee for the pur pose ef punishing the outlaws who have been terrorizing that section by robbing. Until all the crops are housed, in certain localities the highways will be patroled by armed men. Some of the vigilantes will be under pay, but more than half of the whole orgaaixation are property owners and will do patrol duty under a system that will keep the velunUers out of bed but two nights in a week. An accident occurred i 11 Emlenton near the school house, lately, that might have resulted much more seriously than it did. George Lasher and hi* two sons, Perry and Harry, of Rockland township, were on their way to Farmington where they were doing a job of plastering, and while coming down ShippenvilU street the three year-old colt they were driving frightened at the noise of the school children, and be coming unmanageable kicked one thill off the baggy and turned it over the little bill there. The colt then became free from the baggy *i»U ran out Hill street and into the woods going abont one mile away. The three gentlemen lell tinder the baggy and two were injur ad while Harry Lusher was not injured in the least. The father, George Lasher, received a bad cat near the right eye and his right side was hart caus ing considerable trouble and annoyance. Perry Lnsher was out on the forehead and hit right kne« was very badly sprained be sides he reoeived several other bruises about his person. Two ansaooessfal attempts have lately been made to burn the Kittanning school building, one of the attempts being made by a boy who had been reprimanded by his teacher. For several weeks past managers of tho mills in New Castle have bee* discharging Italians and hiring Americans. This has stirred up a very bitter feeling among the Italians, which culminated last Thursday in an attack by about 200 hundred foreign ers upon a small party of American work men who had assembled in the plate-mill in anticipation of its starting. The Italians attempted to drive the Americams from the field and take possession of the works. A desperate fight ensaed daring whioh stones and clubs were freely used. The Ameri cans were reinforced and the Italians finally driven off. Several were badly in jured. The feeling there is very strong against the foreigners, aDd it is almost im possible for them U> obtain work. A ten-year-old Elmira boy named Cun ningham a few days ago sat down on the sharp point of a slate pencil which a schoolmate mischievously held on the seat. The pencil penetrated the flesh, and a portion of it broke off near the bowels. The boy is in a critical condition and suf fers terrible agony.
