THE CITIZEN Catered at Poatoßce at Butl*r u .<1 rlua Batter WILI.Ua C. IKMLBI. PafcllUer THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 31. 1895 I - THK suicide record of the world for the year ending September 30 last, is said to be 185,000, an increase of nearly 20.000 over 1894. AT the recent election at Williamstown, N. J., a voter absent-mindedly voted a two-dollar bill. The ballot he found later ou in his vest pocket. The election board accepted the involuntary contribu tion, which they expended for cigars. FREDERICK GOINGS, a young negro, begged food at the residence of Hamilton Gelsbert, near Frederick, Md., last Sat urday. After eating he assaulted Lillie Jones, who he discovered was alone in the house. The negio broke her nose and cut her with a razor. He was arrest ed and held for a hearing Monday. A few hours later he was taken from jail by a mob and hanged to a tree on which, a few years ago, a negro numed Bigus was lynched for the same crime. IX is reported that President Cleveland thinks the general Democratic defeat all along the line, was not a condemnation of him and his Administration, but was the result of local issues and part y a revolt against party bosses. It is no doubt true that the Democratic determ ination to overthrow Gorman in Mar\ - land had considerable to do in giving that State to the Republicans. It is also probably a fact that the vigorous repudi ation of the party platform by the Demo cratic candidate for Governor in Ken tucky insur ed his defeat and the election of Colonel Bradley. But the local issues in those States had nothing at all to do with the vote in the other States. PENNSYLVANIA DAY at the Atlanta Exposition, last Thursday, was attended by 5,000 citizens of the State, and they were addressed by Gov. Hastings and Lieut Gov. Lyons and Justice Williams. Hastings made an interesting statement of the progress in the State. The visi tors were greeted with inusic and cheers. THE war ships of the civilized nations of the world, including two of the L nited States, have assembled in the Mediter anean for the purpose of forcing the Sul tan to protect the Armenians. The Porte has written to the protesting powers in reply to the latter's demands to know what steps are being taken to restore or der in Armenia, stating that 80,000 re serves have been ordered to Armenia at once. The Sultan has issued an irade, decreeing that all persons who have been wounded or deprived of their property through the recent uprisings in Asia Mi nor shall be clothed, housed and fed at the expense of the state until the situa tion clears up. The irade extends to the guilty and innocent alike. LAST Thursday was the last (lay of the C. W, convention, at Hartford and con tributed the most sensatioiial episode of the term. Mrs. Poteat, wife of the Rev. E. M. Poteat; pastor of the Calvary Bap tist church, where the convention is be ing held, during an address, said: I would as soon send a son of mine to hell as to Yale college. A WASHINGTON correspondent says that the Republican National Convention will not be held earlier than the tenth of next June. That was made certain when Chairman Carter of the National Com mittee issued his call fo r the Committee to assemble in Washington on the tenth of December to select the time and place for holding the Convention. From the talk of members of the Committee and other prominent Republicans who have been here recently, the honor of being the convention city next year lies be tween Chicago and Pittsburg, with the chances slightly favoring the former. San Francisco has some earnest friends on the Committee; but should they suc ceed in getting the Convention held there it would surprise a great many people, themselves among the number. DURING the argument for a new trial in the Holmes case in Phila, last Monday, Mr. Shoemaker one of Holmes' attorneys presented the affidavit of a woman, stat ing that Pietzel had told her that he in tended to commit suicide. This affidavit was proven, then and there, to have been purchased, Shoemaker was arrested on a charge of subornation of perjury. ' PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has issued the customary Thanksgiving Proclamation, in which he appoints Thursday, Novem ber 28, for observance as a day of thanks giving and prayer. THE total debt of this State is about six and a half million dollars, none of which we believe will come due until 1912. Every year a certain sum is set apart in the sinking fund to meet and Say this indebtedness when it becomes ue. Some of these days, when times grow better, we shall have a larger snr plus and be able to wipe out our debt l>e fore it matures. The amount we owe is a bagatelle to our great Commonwealth, but at the same time we might as well be out of debt as in it. IT might lie well for those interested in good roads to investigate the French system of road tax. In France all car nages pay yearly tax, ranging from $9.50 to 119.30, according to the size of the ve hicle. Moreover, not a bicycle can go on the road until the tax on it has been paid, which amounts to $1.93 a year. Bicyclists in this country would be glad to pay a dollar a year on every wheel if by that means they might have roads they could ride over with ease and pleas ure. It would not be unreasonable at all to tax every wheel a dollar a year. A MINNESOTA paper asserts that a ton of corn will yield 25 percent more heat than a ton of coal, and says the feeling against using a food product for fuel when the price permits JS nothing more than an empty sentiment.

Within the past year each of the old border state s has returned a Republican majority. At the election last week Maryland returned a majority of 19,016 for the Republican candidate for Govern or and Kentucky one of 17,000. Last year Delaware elected the Republican candidate for Governor by 1321, West Virginia was Republican 011 the vote for Congressmen and Missouri elected a Re publican Judge to the Supreme Court by Virginia, Maryland and Delaware —the Republicans have elected a majority of the legislature, and in Kentucky the Legislature is a tie. These changes have affected all these States alike. They are to be seen and traced from Delaware Bay to Kansas. They have been accomplished by the vote of the most intelligent class and the most prosperous communities in all five States. It has sometimes been charged against Republican victories in the far South that the vote which won them came exclusive lv from those who labored with their hands and was unduly influenced by con siderations of color. We trust the day is far distant when any right-minded man will think the less of a ballot because it is cast by a hand hard with toil or darkened by the act of the Creator, but not even this captious objection can be raised to the great political change in these border states. . Wherever there is a mine or a factor}-, wherever cities are growing and new hamlets coming into existence—there, in all these States, the Republican vote has been heaviest and the Democratic defeat most complete. But it is impossible to attach a mere partisan importance to these victories. They do not show that in the next Presidential election either Kentucky or Missouri will vote for Re publican electors though the elections this vear and last do leave West \ irginia and Delaware debatable States and Mary land worth a struggle. The change in these States is not from party to party. It is deeper. It is effected by the causes which create parties and which underlie them and their acts. The border states for ten years past have been the scene of great economic changes. West Virginia, for one tring, in ten years has trebled its coal output and that of Kentucky has nearly doubled while Missouri has increased its coal pro duct in ten years just five-fold. All these States have made a like industrial ad vance. They have increased their manu factures, they have diversified their in dustries and they have added to those whose livelihood and prosperity depends upon a sound currency and protection to native industry. These changes, silent and unseen, have revolutionized these States. Bland last year and Blackburn this thought they were running in the Missouri and Ken tucky of ten years back. They were not. Their States have repudiated their un sound financial views. The boundary of honest money was once Mason and Dixon's line. The elections sLow that it uow lies south of the border states. So on all the greater economic issues. These victories have not been won on mere party lines, important as these are. They stand for more. They stand for the steady uplift by which States are redeem ed from barbarism and turned into thriv ing industrial communities. They rep resent the advance of men, the creation of wealth, education, civilization and en lightenment. If this change and advance has been made visible by Republican vic tories it is because on the whole the Re publican party in all its history has stood for the progress of humanity, the eleva tion of the people and sound increase of national wealth. —Press.

One of the Urge crib? for Allegheny City's new water works at Montrose was sunk in the river last week It is 900 feet long, 32 feet wide and Gleet deep. The length of the entire crib will be 2,500 feet The river bed was dredged 10 feet, and the crib will be four feet below the river bed. The government compelled this sub mergence, so as not to obstruct navigation. Tne material used in making the crib is Hemlock, which will not rot under water. From this great filter, influent pipes will run to the pumping station, and thence tho volume will be -hot throng h a five-foot conduct to the Mt. Troy reservoirs. Miss Anna Bowers, wdi was bitten by a mad dog at her home on Brush Creek, died after three days o! terriole suffering, Her case was a singularly sad one Tne dog which bit her had beon chasing chickens and ttien ran into the lilM* to the horse-. Miss Bowers followed aid at the door was a'tacked and bitten "'J the hand She seized the dog by the neck and her brother came and shot it. It is said that not bing was done to gnard otf hydrophobia, .vhich made its appearance a few weeks later. The accounts of her sufferings are pathetic indeed. She had tilled the p.ace of mother to nine younger children, and her anxiety for them durug the lucid intervals touching in the extreme. Her sufforing laste I thiee days until death came to her release. John V. Humes, ol Tarentnm, aged 60 years, father of a largo and respected fami ly. and a member of the Meth idist Episco pal chnrct . was jailed last week, on an un bailable offence, charged against him by W". J. Stale}', of the same town and church. Staley has' a daughter, Mabel, aged 8 years, and Hume ■ is alleged to have shown her a great deal of attention. The motuer and her aunt, according to the information, put a watch on Hume.- and discovered him mistreating the girl. To this evidence was added the revolting story told by the child. Some time ago the B'.airsville people very liberally .subscribed SI2OOO as a bonus which they agreed to give the Whitney i.ilass Company in consideration oi the company purchasing the West I'enu Glass Works and operating them 10 months in a year. Thw Whitney people purchased tlio plant for a song and started the works. But they only operated them a short time and then shut down. How this was not what the subscribers to the bonus fund wanted and was not in accordance with the agreement, and they stopped further payment of the bonus. This did liot suit the Whitney Company and they made a demand tor the balance of the bonus and threatened to sue for it. But the company failed to consider the article or agreement entered into with the subscribers in which the company agreed to operate the works straight along, 10 months each year, 'liave no compahy store, &c, and when they talked about enforcing the payment ot the balance of the bonus, the people kicked and proposed to issue an execution and sell the plant. This was a course the glass company had not counted on aud they now propose to wipe out the agree ment with the bonus committee and oper ate ihe plant as they please, establish a company store, sell lots. <tc.
