PMSIDEST CLEVELAND. " How can we lace tne people alter in dulging in such outrageous discrimina tions*'' PRESIDENT CLEVELAND. Toe question was answered at the recent elections: Republican plurality in 34 States, 1,453,000 Democratic plurality in 9 States, 200,000 Net Republican plurality in tne Union 1,-o3,wu What a splendid chance to win national auJ perpetual fame there is for the Hon. John Donovan, of West Bay City, Mich ! He is the one and only Democrat in the legislature of the Wolverine State. Nine ty-nine of the on'-hundred members of the House are Republicans, and all the Senators are Republicans. The Republican State ticket in Missouri was elected by pluralities ranging from 3.6W0 to 7,000 Ten Republicans and five Democrats were elected to Congress. Philadelphia cast a vote ol 193,000 at 1000 precinctt on the 6th, ult and yet the figures puDlished the next morning vary but little trom the official returns. The work of making a newspaper that goes on in the snent hours is one of the wonders of modern civilisation. The republican pluralities in 11 North ern States is simply amaring, viz: Pennsyl vania 243,000; New York 155,000; Ohio 135,000; Illinois 120,000; lowa 80,000; Michigan 76,000; Massachusetts 65,000; Minnesota 60,000; Wisconsin 50,000; Indi ana 45,000; New Jersey 40,000. As Hon. Galusha A. Grow has 224,000 plurality over his oponent—exceeding by several thousand Gen. Hastings' huge plurality—the largest plurality ever ob tained by any candidate, for any office, in any State, Col. Aleck McClnre (D) wants to know why he shouldn't be the Republi can candidate for President two years hencef Captain Kolb, the Alabama Populist, who claims to have been elected Governor, was sworn in by a Justice of the Peace, last Saturday, but his move seems to amount to nothing. The Democratic British tariff is develop infc its practical effects. The American mills are halting, and the British mills are moving. How the Wilson-Gorman law is transferring work from the United States to England is shown in the fol'ow ing extract in the Leeds (Eug) Times of Nor 3: It is stated that a well known Bradford firm has r«oeived an order for 50.000 pieces of ooating tor America, and on' Change it was slid that four orders each, value about £75,000, have been placed in the district by American buyerß. Major Alex McDowell, of Sharon, has announced as a candidate for Clerk of the House ot Representatives. We are for the Maj>r every day in the week. He be haved like a gentleman when the Repub lican State Convention turned him down for Congreasman-at-large, is a Bta'wart Re publican, genial, witty, honest aud efli oient. Pennsylvania will be a unit for him, and as she is forbidden the presidency be oause she is the Republican Gibralter, and sure for any candidate, she is clearly en titled, by virtue of her position at the head ot the Republican column, to this position for one of her Republican leaders. The clerkship of the House was adorned by Edward McPherson. of this State, for many years The next House cannot do better than to continne it as a Pennsyl vania position, and award it to Hon. Alex MiD'iwell. —Meadville Journal. Nbws comes from Germany that the government has discovered that American beef is infected with Texas fever, and that therefore it must be prohibited from com ing into the country. This is a sad blow at the American cattle-grower and packer. During the fiscal year 189U the value of fresh beef products exported from tbi* country to Germany was $829,652. It is now proposed that this market shall be closed to tbe American farmer; that his beef already shipped shall be thrown on his hands, and that tbe price of what is lelt shall be lowered by decreasing the de mand for it. If the reason given by the German gov ernment for its action furnished the real explanation, the blow would be no less severe, but it might be accepted by its victims with the grace that bows to una voidable fate. But Texas lever is not the cause of the German government's refusal o admit American beef into the country. The reports of onr own experts make it doubtful, indeed, if any of the cattle that have been killed for the export trade have been touched by Texas fever. Moreover, it is denied by the authorities of the Agri cultural Department that Texas fever is infectious. The Germans, nevertheless, who are usually open to conviction, espec ially in matters resting on science, are ob durate. Nor do they hesitate in private to admit the true reason for their war on the American farmer, whioh is the discriminat ing duty prescribed by the tariff act against German beet sugars. Tlie new law pre scribes a tax of one-tenth of a cent a pound on sugars coming from any country which pays a bounty to the producers. Germany pays snch a bounty, and therefore sugars coming henoe to this country must pav a thigher tax than those coming from conn tries not giving bounties to their producers. Therefore the blow at (ur agricultural interests oomes from our own government. It is onu of the fiuitsof its legislation, and especially ef the oorrupt triumph of the Sugar Trust, aided by the Senators who transferred their allegience from the gov er ment and their States to the monopoly which was able to procure the legislation that will add millions to its annual pro fits These prodta must *oome from the pockets of the people. THKRK will be in the next Bouse 241 Re- Democratt, six Populists,one silver man, and there is one vacaucy cans ed by the death of Mr. Wright, Republi can, of the Fifteenth Pennsylvania district. There are 218 Democrats in tho present House, and of these only 76 were re-elect ed. One hundred and eleven were suc ceeded by Republicans, three by Populists and 28 by other Democrats. TUB Auditor General has received re turns from all the counties in the State, shoeing tho amount of personal property taxable this year under the Boyet revenue law. The aggregate value is $613,919,285,- 4C. from which a tax of $2,453,577 14 will be derived, As compared with 1893, the valuation has increased $6,333,527.57, and the tax $25,344.14. WHAT was it the late esteemed Candi date Singerly said about "contemptible roosters and ruffians"? Also about "the cowardice, the trickery, the dbbaui liery and the debasement of the Democratic leaders"? The last words of t£e derailed axe ajways jpterenwij• Congress and the Message. The reassembling of Congress, Monday, was attended with the usual scenes of well filled galleries, and the personal greetings of the members. Reed received an ovation when he en tered the House, and Wilson was applaud ed by his collesges. The usual floral tokens decked the desks in both chambers. On ex-Speaker Reeds' desk rested a magnificent floral ship, full rigged. On a card attached was the fol lowing: "Advocate as you have always, protection and American labor, and the ship will guide you into a haven of peace ful waters." Amidships on the deck of the vesse', in blue immortelles, were the signi ficant figures "96." Mr. Lincoln, of Michigan, was presented with a minatare school house of flowers by the American Protective association of his district. "Whom the Lordloveth Hechasteneth," was the pious ejaculation of Mr. Bynum, of Indiaca, when a Republican friend con doled with him upon his defeat. "Then the Lord must have a boundless affection for the Democratic party," retort ed Mr. Cox, of Tennessee, at which sally a score or more of Democrats in the im medate vicinity wagged their heads affirm atively and exclaimed, "Amen." The days sessidn w"a3-devoid of dramatic incident. However, the reading of the President's message consumed two hours and was the only business of impoitance transacted beyond the presentation of sev eral resolutions calling for information concerning the recent issue of bonds, the use of federal troops at the Chicago strike, and as to Armenian and Chinese atrocities. These broaght cnt no debate, however, and tho interest of the day centered in the President's message. It was listened to with attention, although it brought out no demonstration of approval or otherwise from the members or spectators. For the most part the message is a sum mary of national statistics, the most prom inent of whic hi 3 the reporting of a de ficiency on last year's expenditures and revenues of practically $70,000,000 and, an expected one for the current year of $20,- 000,000. The President does not seem to observe the correlation between these fig ures and the increase of the bonded debt by $100,000,000, reported in another part of the message. Among minor recom mendations that for the continuance of the construction of armored vessels is noticeable. On the tariff question, the old policy has received such a shock that the message confines itself to recommend ing the abolition of the differential on Ger man refined sugars and the revision of the navigation laws. The widely advertised new financial pol icy consists of two points. Neither of them will enhance the reputation of the administration for comprehension of the monetary situation. On the question of bond issues and the reserve, the message enlarges on the difficulty caused by pay ing out the legal tenders received for re demption, but lays the responsibility on Congress for not providing belter author ity, and declares that the present method dill be continued so long as necessity ex ists. The responsibility of Congress is undoubted, but the message shows the utter inability of the administration to perceive its own responsibility in not keep ing the redeemed legal tenders in the fund where they belong, and paying them out only for the purposes of the reserve fund, ». e., when business desires to exchange gold for legal tenders. Had that been done, the temporary retirement of paper would have stopped the draft on gold op the one hand, and on the other the re source of drawing »n the redeemed legal tenders to supply the inroads of Congress ional extravagence would have been taken away. It was hardly to be expected that an ad ministration unable to see this common sense, business proposition would outline a currency plan that would improve the situation. The administration bank plan turns out to be not the Baltimore plan, but a cross between tbe Baltimore plan and tbe Chicago platform for State bank issues. It proposes a bank circulation np to 75 per cent ot capital, with a deposit for its redemption of 30 per cent in United States notes, and of 5 per cent more to be accumlated by an annual tax. At its in ception, therefore, 45 per cent of the cir cnlation is to have simply the value of a first lien on the bank assets. Stats banks are to have similar privileges, and it is characteristic of the policy that, while there is an effort to insure that the State notes shall at the outset have a security approaching that of national bank notes, tho provision that the assets, which are to maintain the 45 per cent of their value, shall continue unimpaired is very hazy, it not wholly absent. Finally the message proposes to do away with tho present uni versal redemption agency, "and that no fixed reserve need be maintained on ac count of deposits." This, the President is "satisfied, furnishes a basis for a very great improvement on our present banking and currency system." In other words, the President proposes to strike out the provisions which Lave given uniformity and absolute security to the bank circulation; to take away the pro tection to depositors that has made tbe national bank system a tower of strength; to leave note holders and depositors alike to tbe vagaries of speculative or dishonest bank managers, and is satisfied that it will be "a very great improvement!" On Wednesday Senator Quay offered a resolution repealing the differential duty on sugar. It was said that the York State mom bers would support McDowell for Clerk, if the Peunsylvanians would support a New Yorker for doorkeeper. THK KCRDS continue thur atrocities in Armenia, presumably by order of the Turk ish Government. In one villiapo the headman was uailed to a post head down, and then scalded. The whole village of Tchurig was charg ed with sedition and the gendarmes, nat urally, were not reprimanded, as they we.e only carrying out tho orders of their su periors. The Armenian villages ou the plains of Moosh and Bitlis, in the vicinity of Sas sonm and Van have been fired and their streets made to run with blood. From Marnig over 100 oxen and 1,000 sheep iiaye been driven off and the same has occurred at Colossig and Havaborig. The villagos of Kazloo and Sheik Ag hoob have been sacked by Kurds and two young girls were make captives. At an other village a miller was burned alive. At Hanzasheik three Armenians were mur dered. This is only a daily talo of the hor rors in the villages on the plains ol Moosh. If these authentic details come from the villagos on the open plain, what must the truth be in distant places in the mountaius of SassounT Iu September 112 Kurds appeared in the village of Baghezig ostensibly for the pur pose of getting supplies, eating, drinking and carousing all day. They plundered the village, robbod the church of its costly vessels and rode away. On the day following the band of Kurds raided the village of Faroagb and stole fifty head of cattlo and a herd ol sheep be longing to the celebrated monastery of Varaka. In the village of Daghveran two youths were openly butchered by Kurds before the eyes of their helpless relatives. THIS great bicycle factory of the Losier Mlg Co., at Cleveland 0., was completely destroyed by tire last Wednesday night. Tbe lofb was about «alf a million. State Capitol Notes. Harri.-burg Telegraph. Auditor General Gregg and State Treas urer Jackson closed their books last triday night and struck balances for the fi-cal year ending November 30th. Tha totals show that for the last two years the re ceipts have not been keeping pace with the expenditures and only tne big balances which have been carried along from former years, have enabled the State's ac counting officers to avoid an apparent de ficiency. As it is, the balance in the gen eral and sinking funds combined is $5, 081,325 71. This is a gratifying showing in view of the fact that $.>,500,000 have been given to the schools, nearly $700,000 to the erection of the Executive building and re modeling of the old buildings, and about I $1,250,C00 to the redemption of State bonds, thus wiping out a large part of the State debt. A glauce at the totals is in teresting. For the year ending November 30tb, 1893, the total receipts were sl3 252.- 727 89, and total pay ments $13,423,064 77. Starting with the balance of $4 940,576 79 in the general fund a year ago, the re ceipts in this fund for the fiscal year clos ing yesterday were $11,894,495 47. and the payments for the same period $11,820, 129,- 68, leaving a balance in the general fund at this date of $5,014,942 18. In the sink ing fund. November 30ih, 1593, there was a balance of $88f,731 28, and during the year ending Friday the receipts in this fund have been $979,291 75 making a total of $1,869, 023.03, but the payments in re demption of bonds have beon heavy, aggre gating $1,802,639 50, leaving a sinking fund balance of $66,383.53. Of the balance of $5,014,942 18 in the general fund about $2,000,000 belongs to various counties, be ing a return of three-fourths of the per sonal property tax paid in by tne different counties. On Friday last there was received at the Caditol one ot the most marvelous speci mens of dexterous hand-weaving ever seen in this country. It is an immense rug, forty one feet long by thirty-one feet wide and it will garce the Governor's reception room in the new building. In all the vast expanse not a seam is visible, each individual nest of softness having been tufted in the fashion made familiar by o'iental weavers. In shape the rug is like a giant square, having straight sides and widely carving ends. In color it is a rich, warm, glowing red, covered with an intricate tracery of sprays in the same hue. The border, of a cream lint, merges into the red through the medium of a narrow band ot dull blue. Festoons in neutral tones are used in the border, and again a line of misty blue edges and accentuates the pattern before a six-men supplemental piece of red fini.-ties it all around. With all tiis variation of tone, the keenest eye could not detect a joining. The price of this marvel is $2,- 000. Contractor E. B. Black, the Market street artist, has successfully removed Kothermel's celebrated painting of the Uattle of Gettysburg from Memorial Hall, Philadelphia, to the handsome museum in the new Executive building on Capitol Hill. And this in a rain, too. The big painting, 18x3G feet in size, with the lour other and smaller paintings, making a total weight of 4,000 pounds, were placed on a big flat car at 6 o'clock Friday evening and brought here via Peipher line over the Heading, reaching Harrisburg at 6 o'clock in the morning. Kain-boxes encased the valuable, works ol art. A ig truck was secured, and by 9 o'clock the paintiugs were deposited in their future ho'.ne, not having sustaiued a siagle sera ch or dam age of any kind. The big painting, weigh ing a little over a ton, will be suspended along the entire north wall of the build ing: The work will be completed in a few weeks. The handsome columns supporting the electric light globes at the West State street entrance to the park have been much admired. Governor Pattison is at work on his part ing message to to the Legislature. It will contain some important recommenda tions. TMK State Department at Washington recently received a report from our Con sul General at ft. Petersburg concerning the probable effect of the opening of the new Siberia railroad ou the wheat-supply of Europe. Mr. Jonas thinks that this road will bring to market at least 6,000,- 000 bushels of wheat from west Siberi a alone, aud that when the line is conigleted whea'-growing will be so stimulated as to make the probable shipment* from that couutry much greater in succeeding jcars In three of the districts of Siberia the sur plus for export was over 30,000,000 bushels in 1889, and it has been enormous each year since It is said that there are sec tions of that country which will be made accessible by the new railroad which are better adopted to wheat than the fertile districts reterred to above, end the quan tity to be marketed in Europe will prob ably increase yearly. This OIHIMHI report gives no encouragement to American wheat-growers who hoixj for higher prices. Nor will it comfort the advocates of free silver coinage, who have been as cribing the lowprice of wheat to the discon* finuance of the free coinage of the white metal, and who promise the wheat growers that free coinane will bring high prices back. Neither free coinage nor any other law enacted by any legislative body cau lift the price of wheal so long as the world raises year after year milliens of bushels more than it can consume. The universa 1 • w of supply and ilemaud is not to tie set aside nor circumvented by any written en act incut. ('lurry J'nji Ed.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. While Alien Sneddon of Glen Campbell, Indiana Co. was out hunting lately, re got on the trail of a fox, bat reynard witn its characteristic shyneas would never a'» low the hunter within shooting range, but always dodged its pursuer. Sneddon with the indomitable courage of the true hunter (refusing to be baffled), lollowed doggedly in its tracks for over eight miles, when he at last and laid it low under his unerring aim. On his return home he augmented his bag by the addition of a large coon. The proportions of the coon may be im agined when it is known that a ten pound bucket of lard was obtained from it. Quite a fancy price was offered for the hides but refused, as Mr. Sneddon's stepfather (Mr. Archibald) desired the skin of the fox head with the ears kept intact, converted in'O a cap to adorn his head while rojournii g in the Holy Land. The old man will have quite an airy appearance walking the street# of Jerusalem with a valise of coon hide, a C jp of fox hide and pair of lugs. The Grove City Telephone says that the supervisors of Pine township will 6oon take some action towards raising the money to pay the judgement awarded to Mrs. Coulter for the death of her husband by the breaking down of a township bridge while he was crossing it with a traction engine about a year ago. and which has been affirmeed by the Supreme Court. The judgement with costs will amount to nearly $lO 000 and will have to be raised by a special tax. The taxable property of of Pine township is a little more than S6OO - which will require a levy of about one and six-tenth per cent, to raise the requir ed amount. C. D.
