AT the meeting of the Lincoln League
Monday evening, Newton Black spoke on
tariff and pensions; J.D.McJunkin eulogis
ed Linooln, whose name honors the
League, and also Galusha A. Grow, whose
merits entitled him to a seat in the TJ. 8.
Renatn at the hands of the Republicans of
thia State year* ago, and who would have
had such seat had it not been for the inter
fsrenoe of managing politio ans; J. N.
Moore spoke of the necessity of looking
after the registration lists and getting out
a toll vote at the February election; com
mittees were appointed to interview Re
publicans who bad not paid their taxes; a
aet of reeolutions prepared by D. B.
Douthett, Isaac Meals and J. C. Kiskad

Wednesday, May 23d was fixed npon as
the date of the State Convention this year,
to nominate a State tioket— i.e. candidates
for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Audi

Gen. Hastings and Hon. C. W. Stone are
the only two candidates for Governor;
"Jaok" Robinson and Walter Lyon want
be Lieutenant Governor; Mylin of Lancas
ter seems to have it all his own way for

iairs, while Stewart would not object to
staying on. Grow will probablv be renom
inated for Congress and Alex McDowell is
■aid to be in it for another term.
THX great donbt as to Grow is as to
whether his majority will to 200,000 or
300,000. Let us all turn out at the Febru
ary election, and do our share towards put*
ting it np to the last figures.
Dalzell vs. Carnegie
When shown the interview with Andrew
Carnegie on the tariff question, Congress
man Dalsell, of Pittsburg, said:
"It is absolutely impossible to make any
changes in the Wilson bill whioh would
make it acceptable to the country. The
Wilson bill contemplates a legislative
orime. In the midst of great business de
pression, and under pretense of devising
a means to create revenue, it bankrupts
the national treasury by cutting off from
#79,000,000 to $100,000,000 of revenue per
annum, and creates a necessity for burden"
ing the people with direot taxes, which
were never heretofore dreamed of by any
sane man as justifiable in time of peace.
This defeot is so rauioal as to absolutely
oondemn the whole measure.
"It brutally ignores the cause of Amer
ioan labor. No doubt the manufacturers
can get along under it. Capital can al
ways take oare of itself. But the Wilson
bill gives no alternative to our working
men except to put themselves on the plane
of labor abroad. It is against the interest
of American education, American homes
and American morals.
"This bill must be looked at in its en
tirety, and not as it may effect one interest
or one locality. As a measure to adjust
the tariff it is so full,from beginning to end,
of manifest inconsistencies, as to deserve
the term patehwork. It is illogical in
•very way. It provide* for free raw mate
rial for the manufacturers, and dearer
manufactured goods for the consumer.
Its snbstitntion of ad valorem for specific
duties entitles it to be oalled 'A bill to pro
vide for frauds upon the national revenues"
and whatever else may be said, it is a sec
tional Mil, in the interest cf the men who
made it ,Bonthera members who dominate
the Ways and Means Committee, and who
•re bj ednoation and environment least
ftmlliar with the industries, enterprises
and interests of the American people. It
la a measure that oannot be made accept
able to this conn try."

Q, Pi
A Democrat Criticises the Wilson Bill.
Hon. M. E. Ingalls of Cincinnati, presi
dent of the Big Four Railroad, created a
sensation at the Democratic Jackson clnb
banqnet in Columbus, Ohio, last Monday
night in speaking to the toast, "The Chi
cago Platform of 1892." Speaking of the
repeal of the Sherman act he said: "It
was broaght about by Republican votes,
and they got more credit perhaps than we
did for the repeal. It seems to me that
the administration is also open to criticism
that it did not by conferenco and consulta
tion arrange a compromise bill that would
practically accomplish the same results and
which would have passed with Democratic
votes and as a Democratic measure.
Referring to President Cleveland he said:
"The theory that the king can do no wrong
will nerer succeed in this country.
Neither does all knowledge, all
wisdom lie with the president and his
advisers. The criticisms I make here to
night I make as a Democrat, as one who
voted far Cleveland three successive presi
dential elections. We are in the midst of
evil times—mills have stopped, industry s
paralysed, and everywhere idle men are
filling the streets and asking for work, and
there is none. Xo such calamity has ever
before befallen this community in its histo
ry. The committee on wayß and means
bas sent to congress a tariff bill which in
addition to the deficit ol $50,000,000 will
produce $75,000,000 more of loss, leaving
the government at the end of the financial
year short $125,000,000 unless it can be
made up in other ways. How do you
expect to make up this $125,000,000?
"Cover your heads with shame, my fel
low Democrats, for your party in power
these days of peace proposes to go back
and enact the war taxes of the past; and
whyt in order that they may make a tarifl
framed according to the theories of a few
men familiar only with the books and re
dnce on certain articles which do not do
mand it and make certain articles free
whioh are not called tor. Was there ever
such follyT The gentleman who fathers thir
measure is a distinguished member of Con
gress, coming from a little villiage in the
mountains of West Virginia. He is a
student of the doctrine of free trade and
well educated as a theorist. By some
chance he is made chairman of the com
mittee of ways and means, and is put
astride of the commerce of this oountry
»nd proposes to demonstrate his theories,
although in so doing he may wreck the
country and his party.
"Just as sure as you place coal and iron
on the free list, so sure will Virginia ai.d
West Virginia leave the Democratic col
umn at the next election. Tell me where
are yon to get the electorial votes to take
their place? Can you placate mugwumps
enough in New England to give you the
votes that you lose it the SoutbT
"What justification is there in free coalf
None, except that the books say raw ma
terial should be free, and this committee,
with no business experience, but wedded
to their theories, have classed coal as a
raw material, when every ton at the mouth
of the pit represents 90 per cent, of labor
and 10 per cent, of material. It would
seem to me that if you wished protection
for labor here was a batter chance for it
than anywhere else. Who asks for free
coalf The people? No; no one except a
few New England and New York specu
lators who rushed over into Nova Scotia
the week after election,when they thought
they could establish free trade, and bought
everything that could be brought in there if
the duties were taken off, from an iron
mine to a lime kiln.
"While this committee of ours graciously
allows the coal of her majesty Queen Vic
toria to come in here and displace our own
and break down a half million of our
laborers, the thrifty Canuck smiles and
still charges us 60 cent? a ton for all that
we sell in his western dominions. Verily,
this committee of ways and means are
great and patriotic gentlemen. In bebalt
ol the great body of business men of this
oountry I protest against experiments at
this time In behalf of the Democratic
rank and file I protest against a measure
which, if passed; will turn the country
over to the Republicans. I wish I could
reioh every Democrat in the land to
arouse them to action so that they would
make their objections felt with their con
gressmen.
"It is a time of peril to the party. I
would sound the alarm, 'To your tents, O
Israel.' Unless we can bring about a
change of administration, unless we con
stop that so-called Wilson bill in congress,
we shall go down as a party to nelpless
defeat on the next election, and it will be
years belore the people will trust us again.
We want congress to stop experimenting
for the benefit of a few theorists and
scholars."
The address was vociferously applauded
THBRK is such a thing as "slandering
your neighbor,', which is mighty poor bus
iness, and there is sach a thing as properly
characterizing a rascal or pulling the mask
off of a hypocritical knave, which is praise
worthy. We are all labelled and classified
or should be, like the naturalist's speci
mens, and it is merely a matter ot putting
the labels where they belong. If we put
tbe stamp of a rascal on an honest man we
are perpetrating a wrong. It is just as
great a crime to speak in terms of approval
ot a bad man and try to make it appear that
be is a good man, as it is to defame a good
man. For tbe safety of society all men
should be properly stamped, just as tbe
jars and bottits in a drug store need to be
properly labelled. Therefore, we would
say, speak no ill of any man—unless you
know it to be true.— Spirit.
THB Democratic Stato Convention at
Harrisbnrg, Wednesday, nominated J. D.
Hancock of Franklin, for Congressman-at-
Large. Hancock is an out-and-out free
trader.
Waahington Notes.
On Thursday Wilson was again humil
iated. He took his seat in the House,
ready to present his bill, McMillen of
Tennessee proposed its consideration; and
the Republicans and enough Democrats re
frained from voting to make "no quorum,"
and the house had to adjourn, although
there were enough Democrats in the city
to make a quorum had they chosen to be
present.
Wilson was disgusted and was reported
as saying: "For nearly a year I have
worked upon this bill and I am almost
worn out, and where I look for support I
get only abuse and misrepresentation. I
am tired of it."
Whether the report of his resignation be
true or not, it is certain that Mr. Wilson is
having a hard time of it. Every Demo
cratic Congressman whose seat ts threaten
ed by the Wilson bill is abusing him. The
action of the House Wednesday and Thurs
day certaiuly disheartened him, and the
fact that much ot the Democratic dissatis
faction is caused by the income tax feature,
which be himselt is opposed to, no doubt
added to his embarrassment.
On Sunday the Hawaiian question was
the topic of overpowering interest in
Washington, tbe woes of the Democratic
majority in the House in being unable to
obtain a quorum for tbe consideration of
the Wilson bill being for the time practic
ally overshadowed in importance.
The rumors relative to Minister Willis's
action at Uonolulu, tumors aggravated in
interest by the persistent refusal of the ad
ministration to give the public any infor
mation as to tbe dispatches bronght by the
C>:rwii>, put both Democrats and Republi
cans in a commotion. The former are
simply trembling in their shoes lest tLeee
contitfli tJte Jnklaod repert, A
fact which will not only convict President
Cleveland of unparalleled duplicity in hi«
dealings with Congress and the people, bnt
add to the load of unpopularity under
which the Democratic party is now stag
gering.
On Tuesday a quorum was secured in the
House, the tariff bill wa> presented, and
the debate on it begun.
There were enough of its supporters on
hand, some coming of their own accord,
others caught in the Sargeant-at-Arm s
drag-net. to give the motion to proceed to
the consideration of the pending tariff
measure 186 votes, or just 12 more than
necessary. But there were more than 200
Democratic members in the House wheu
the vote was taken, showing that the re
calcitrant members could not be whipped
into line.
Yielding to wiser counsels, the majority
amended the resolution so as to allow ali
this week for general debate, two weeks
for debate under the the tive-minnte rule,
aud changing the day for the final vote
from January 25 te January 29. This is a
slight improvement on the original pro
gram, but, as ex-Speaker Reed most forci
bly pointed out, utterly inadequate to the
demands of the situation, and in striking
contrast with the fairness shown by the
Republicans to the minority in the debate
on theMcKinley bill.
Chairman Wilson's speech in opening
the debate, while loudly applauded by his
Democratic colleagues, cannot be said to
bave helped the bill. It lell far below the
expectations of both Democrats and Re
publicans The general opinion of the lat
ter may be very forcibly summed up in the
words of Congressman Dalzell.of Pittsburg,
to night. He said:
The speech was a disappointment.
While Republicans did not expect any thing
new on the subject, they have a high
opinion of Mr. Wilson's abilities, and
certainly expected an abler presentation ot
nis side of so important a matter. But, as
»u argument, it i.-< ntterly illogical, deal
ing Urgelj in statements simply dogmatic
and easily diaproven. As a specimen ot
its inconsistencies take his statement that
protection does not protect the wool-grow
er in the price ol his wool, and tho otner
that free wool will cheapen the price of
clothing.
His style of argument was one not ex
pected froui a man of his standing.
(Quoting from the last report of Mr.
swank, secretary ot the Iron and Jiteel As
sociation, the words "One of the most
serious rebellions on the part of wage
earners occurred last year," he took the
word "rebellion" as the text lor an almost
demagogic argument that labor was re
garded as holding the same sort of alle
giance to its employers as subjects held to
their king. This was hardly befitting a
scholar and a statesman. In tact the
whole speech was a disappointment.
On Tuesday Wilson concluded his speech
in defense of his bill, and was answered by
Mr. Burrows who showed that the McKin
ley bill had lulfilled every purpose intend
ed, aud that under it the country had pros
pered, while the shadow of free trade had
suut up workbhops and was causing mil
lion of men to be idle.
Grow's Speech at Harrisburg.
"When Galusha A. Grow was escorted to
the pl&tf orm of the ball in Harri*burg, last
Wednesday, where sat the convention that
had just nominated him for Congressman
at-Large, he spoke as follows:
"Gentlemen, accept my double thatks,
First, for the kindness implied in your cor
dial greeting to mc, and, next, for the
unanimous vote by which you have teridereo
me the nomination. Rest assured that
they will ever be among the cherished
memories of life.
"For the first time since 1856 the Demo,
cratic party has been intrusted with the
power of government by the people, and
it seems to be beginning now just where it
ended then. This generation has no
knowledge by experience of what a Demo
cratic administration of the government i«
The Democratic party in power is a staud
ing menace to business. Wby, the mere
threat contained in its platform has com
pletely paralyzed the business ol the coun
try. Never in our history have our indus
tries been so prostrated, nor so many peo
ple thrown into enforced idleness as wo
find to day after less than one year ol Dem
ocratic rule.
"Iu 1892, under tho wiso and patriotic
Republican administration, the country
tud reached its highest degree of prosperi
ty it had ever known. Every branch of
liu -iness in every part of the land was pros
perous, and there was work lor every man
who wanted it at the highest rate of wages
that has ever been paid, except in times ol
war.
"At such a time tbe people were called
npon to elect a President and a Congress,
and with that reckless spirit of change
which sometimes sways the unthinking
masses, the majority sowed the wind and
the business of the country is now waiting
for the harvest. We are told by the Dem
ocrats that the present condition of affairs
is a legacy from the Republican party.
That is too thin a veil to cover their in
competency. and it is not true. The Re
publican party in its thirty-three years of
power has left legacies of which we may
all feel proud. The first one is a union
free and a country saved. Second, a cir
culating medium of gold, silver and paper,
interchangeable one into the other, and
every dollar as good in any foreign coun.
tty as it is at home. We have also left as
a legacy a banking system under which no
bill holder ever lost a dollar. But the
Democratic party proposes to replace this
with the old red dog i>nd shinplaster State
banking system. Another legacy of the
Republican party is a revenue system of
protection under which the industries
of the country have grown
from sixteen thousand millions of dollars
in 1860, to sixty-three thousand millions in
1890. Under this system of protection the
Government has been provided with reve
nue to meet all its current expenses, over
$3,000,000,000 of the war debt has been
wiped oat; it has enabled us to provide the
heroes who risked their lives for the Union
with liberal and just pensions, and has pro
tected the workiugman from competition
with the underpaid workmen of Europe.
"The Democratic parly proposes to sup
plant tbis system by a tariff which its ad
vocates admit will not raise sufficient rev
enue to meet the expenes of the govern
ment. It is neither a protective nor a rev
enue tariff, but suggests one of those hy
brids, which in nature, has not power to '
perpetuate itself. They will neither raise
revenue for the governmeut nor protection
for the industries of the country. What
kind ot statesmanship is that?
"It took a hundred years for tbe Demo
crats to find out that a protective tariff
was unconstitutional. From Washington
to Cleveland nearly every president had
signeo tarill bills and the Supreme Court
has pronounced them constitutional, but
now the Democrats have just found it is
unconstitutional. It takes them about
that long to find out anything new. They
were even a number of years behind the
Southern Democrats, who incorporated
free trade in the Confederate Constitution.
The Southern Statos'great trinity of prin
ciples were slavery, secession and free
trade, The first two sleep the sleep that 1
knows uo waking and the other will join
them as soon as the people prepare tbe '
sepulchre in which it is to be buried."
Mr. Grow went on to discuss the tariff at
some length He concluded his speech
I with a severe arraignment of President
Cleveland and Secretary Greoham for their
un-American and unconstitutional action
in tbe Hawaiian matter. He .aid their
policy had beon fitly termed the "p' licy of
infamy" and added ' tho American people
ow* it to themselves to make this act s
odious tli4i it will stand out alone in histo
ry as tbe only, attempt that was ever ui»'te
by a President to override the Constitution

Great Fire at the World's Fair.
The World's Fair Pompeii came last
Monday night. A rushing volcano of
flame, a huge Gothic architecture tumbling
into chao* —bewildered mobs of people —
all were there, under a great starry sky/'f
Italian clearness, with Lake Michigan s
broad expanse, a second Mediterranean.
Probably no more magnificent yet terri
fying spectacle has eyer been witnessed
this -i.'e of the Atlantic It was long after
dark when the belated people returning
from work, to their borne# in the southern
suburbs along the elevated railroad, famil
iar to hundreds of thousands of World s
fair visitors, noticed a constantly enlarging
column of fire and smoke ascending sky
ward in the east.
"The World's fair is on fire" was the cry,
and few, indeed, of the fascinated watchers
from the train windows alighted until t e
famous terminal at the exposition grounds
was reached. Directly past the scene ot
the frightful fire of the cold storage ware
house. where scores of firemen lost the r
lives during the lair, hundreds of specta
tors hurried from the trains into the cele
brated court of honor. There, suddenly,
the conflagation came into lull view.
Whirlwinds of blazing embers were being
carried from the end of the court of honor
furthest from the Administration building,
high over the mammoth root of the liberal
arts building, the largest structure on
earth. The ereat golden statute ot the
republic could be seen lilting her liberty
cap defiantly aloft through the clouds of
smoke and flame.
The fire bad been burning less than an
hour when a thunderous crash of falling
timber and a tremendous shout from the
crowd announced the collapse of the peri-
style. A moment later another terrific
yell from the crowd told that the liberal
art building had canght fire and that the
whole exposition was threatened.
A dramatic incident marked the destruc
tion of the peristyle. One of the ladders
bearing up a gronp of firemen fell with the
columns and one f the heroic fire figbter.-
went down to death, while a number of
others suffered injuries more or less re
vere.
The sky was livid, brilliant at this time
with tailing sparks, many of which fell
away to the north, showering the roof-- of
the art palace, woman's building, and the
various state structures with fire. Ever,
train and street car added momenta, ily
thousands to the througs of people,and but
for the terrifying spectacle and the danger
to life and property it snemod as if the
greatest gala night of all at the orid s
fair was on in all it's glory.
The fire started in the casino just east of
the agricultural building and south of the
peristyle. The casino was quickly devour
ed and the flames surged north on the top
of tho peristyle and, dropping, made a sec
ond line of tire along the base of tho col
umns. The flames then sprang through
the music hall which corresponds at the
north end of the peristyle to the casino at
tbe south. While the fire was bnruing
there was one of the most singular and
fascinating sights of the night. Along
the top of the peristyle were scores of stat
utes. The spectacle for those people for
tunate enough to bo on the moving side
walk just east of the peristylo was that of
a succession of gigantic human beings
plunging, one after another, headlong into
the waters of the lake below.
The origin of the fire is said to be re
venge ou the part of a couple of tramps.
The solitary guard in the music-hall says
that just before the flames broke out he
kicked two vagabonds out of the mnsie
hall und told them to find quarters else
where. They left in the direction of the
casino, and soon after the fire broke out
and everything on the grounds wan terror
aud confusion.
Fears of looting added to the horror of
the scene. At about 10 o'clock, with a
possible loss of about $1,000,000 by lire in
the manufacturers building alone, the au
thorities began to realize that a largo ele
ment in tbe crowd was composed of idlers,
who, once started in lawlessness it would
be hard to control. Such preparations as
could be hurridly made were set in motion
to remove goods, and guard other build
ings but all such efforts were the merest
child's play. The utter hopelessness of
such attempts on short notice was made
apparent at once. Tbe few officers on
guard could hardly do more than shut their
eyes and grit their teeth, hoping against
hopo that the flames would speedily be
stayed.
The spectators at this time, partly to
guard their lives and prevent wholesale
robbery of tho exhibits, had boeu largely
driven by the police westward over the
bridges from the lake, and lined up in a
solid mass against the electricity building.
Uero they oould sec giant bandfuls of the
roof and great blazing fragments dropping
down upon the exhibits below. Through
the glass roof and buildings could bo seen
the pieces falling liko boulders in aa ava
lanche, crushing aud burning tbe exquisite
French section, aud threatening to destroy
the Russian and British sections.
The fireboats and engines on tho lake
side had by this time subdued tho flames
in tbe ashes of tbe peristyle and iu the
lower collonade of the southeast side of tho
liberal arts building and hopes were raised
that lhe fire had been subdued, tut shortly
after 11:15 p ra , the flames got beyond
control away up on the top promenade of
the liberal arts building and the main aisle
of the building was a mass of flames, aris
ing from the blazing brands which came
Irom above.
Three days ago tLe number of packages
awaiting shipment in each building was:
Manufactures 11,9(34, Midway Plaisance
1,300, Fine Arts 740, Woman's 819, Ilorti
culture 1,000, Transportation 600, Mining
1 050, Electricity 1,037, Agrioulture 1,800
aud 1,500 scattered in other buildings,
making a total of 24.000 packags. Less
than 14,000 packages had been shipped
away prior to December 20 last. Most of
tho goods remaining were foreign exhib
its.
Remorselessly the fire was burling itself
through the iitersticos ol tbe big iron
art-lies at the dizzy heights ab&ve. The
flauiej wound, boa constrictor fashion, in
and around the mammoth electric light
coronas suspended I'iom tbe root'. Below
these fearful circles ot iron likely to drop
at any moment, no man dared to go, tvei'
tbe hardiest not venturing within a hun
dred leet. Frantic horses, with heavily
loaded trucks, were plunging through tbe
aisles, not encumbered with wreckage or
drenched wish the falling cataracts ol wa
t--r, most of wniob fell fur short ol tbe top
most llames.
Clouds of smoke and vapor that every
moment 01 two shut out the view ol the
lire in the roof were colored in the most
fantastic fashion, running from green and
violet to vivid scarlet. Just what caused
the extraordinary views none seemed to
huow. Guesses were that the dye-stuffs
and chemicals in the exhibits drowned in
were the origin.

Fighting Their Battles O'er.
FARMIXGTON. Jan. 6, 1894.
A war drama entitled. "From Sumpter
to Appomattox," was given in the Acade
my of Music, at this place last night The
play very vividly portrays the stirring
scenes of the war from '6l to '65. Its au
thor deserves the highest encomiums. Each
character was fairly well impersonated
The "dutch-nigger" and the "English-
Irish" woman alternated and commingled
the various languages and dialects with a
faculty wl-.ich was truly wouderful.
The" several tableaux in the play were
particularly striking a id awe inspiring
The only drawback to them was the failure
of the red fire to bum. Otherwise tbey
were very fine.
The most interesting feature connected
with the play was the presentation, by the
people of the community of a suit of clothes
to the cultured and accomplished manager
before the drama was undertaken
The play was given for the benefit of lhe
G. A. R. Post at this place.

Ax important battle is reported to have

THE best writer or speaker is he who can
express the most thoughts with the fewest
words. This is a truth that needs to be
impressed upon public men.
