THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28. 1895.
AMONG the recent schemes to transmit
large amounts of power by electricity
are two very ambitions ones to supply
the cities of Chicago and Baltimore. The
promoters of the Chicago scheme claim
th? fall of the drainage canal at Lockport,
20 miles west of the city, will be suffi
cient to furnish between 20,000 and 40,-
000 horse-power to be wired to the city,
while at Baltimore it is proposed to put
up an enormous plant, 40 miles north on
the Susquehanna river, where two falls
are calculated to afford from 25,000 to
40.000 horse-power each. Cnicago's city
electrician, however, is quoted as saying
that the experience at Niagara in trans
ferring power to Buffalo is not proving a
paying investment.
ML'RDERER DURA N'T, who has gained
a national reputation by killing an in
nocent girl, is soon to make an affidavit,
in which he will state that the news
papers hurt his chances of being cleared.
Mr. Durant is right, the newspapers did
hurt him, wanted to injure his chances
of freedom, and will do the same thing
over again. The people look to the
newspapers to disclose frauds, crimes and
corruptions, and herein are they right.
The free press of the United States is the
only source by which the world at large
may know of the pitfalls and dangers
constantly lurking about. Such things
should be exposed and the newspaper
which falters in its duty in this direction
does not deserve to be a representative
of the peop'e,
IT was an affecting thing to see the lit
tle children gather around the old bell
on Pennsylvania Day at Atlanta, said a
visitor. They were there in droves, and
they hung flowers on the ancient relic
and seemed to regard it as a thing of life.
One little girl of al>out five years, with
a wealth of sunny hair, and eyes as blue
as the Southern sky, was led up to the
bell by an old man who limped and lean
ed heavily on a cane. The little one
managed to get behind the railing that
surrounded the bell, and when the guard
looked around she was patting the bell
with a tiny hand. They did not disturb
her—it was a common sight, the police
man said, and after awhile she looked up
at the old man and said; "There,
G wan pa, I said I'd pat the bell, and I
did, and the man didn't say a word."
And she walked away as proud as a little
queen. As they walked away, a by
stander remarked that the old man was
one of the bravest cavalry colonels in the
Confederate i Army, and limped from
wounds received in battle,
WASHINGTON is said to lie unusally
quiet, though Congress meets next week.
In the years when a new Congress assem
bles Washington is usually in a turmoil
for several weeks before Congress meets,
owing to the campaign for the nomina
tion of Speaker of the House. This year
there is no Speakership campaign. It
was settled when the votes cast at the
Congressional election, last November,
were counted that Hon. Thomas B. Reed,
of Maine, should again be Speaker of the
House. There remains only the minor
offices of the House to be determined
upon, and although the friends of the
several gentlemen who are candidates for
each of those offices are greatly interest-
the good-natured contest they are wag
ing. So it is easy to understand why so
few members of the House are in Wash
ington and why everything is so quiet.
Major McDowell, the Pennsylvania
candidate for the House Clerkship, and
Mr. Glenn, the New York candidate for
Doorkeeper, have opened liead'fuarters
in the same hotel and are understood to
be working together. Ex-Representative
Wade, of Missouri, may be a candidate
either for Doorkeeper or for Postmaster;
Ohio is said to have a candidate, not yet
named, for Postmaster, and Captain Sher
wood, of Michigan, ex-Postmaster of the
House and of Washington, is also a can
didate for the same place. l-',x-Repre
sentative Henderson, of Illinois, is a can
didate for the Clerkship of the House,
and he is said to have declined entering
a combination as a candidate for Ser
geant-at-arms, a position for which Mr.
Russell, the present Speaker of the Mis
souri House of Representatives, is a can
didate. There are half a dozen candidate»
for Chaplain of the House, but the friends
of Rev. 11. D. Fisher, of Kansas, says he
is certain to get it.
Sin* of the Sultan.
The following letter has been received
in Boston from a reliable correspondent
in Constantinople:
"The Turks have induced some of
the subsidized European papers to speak
of these crimes as Armenian outbreaks,
etc,; but the ambassadors have full re
ports. which they ought to publish, that
refute all this, and show conclusively
that the Sultan, within a day or two
after he signed the reform scheme,
ordered the Armenians to be massacred
in order that there should be no question
of an Armenian majority in any of the
provinces. The people sought the spoils
obtainable and so did not execute the
Sultan's wish to the fullest extent. But
the loss of life ha» !>een awful. More
over, there seem, to be no way of pre
venting more of the same sort.
"It is the most awful crime of the cen
tury, because it is so persistently falsifi
ed by its authors.
"Everywhere the story is the same—a
deliberate preparation, and then a story
sent to Europe that the Armenians at
tached the inoffensive Turk, and were
reduced to order after a few had been
killed.
"Worse times are in store for us. Eu
rope is divided in counsel, and the Turks,
nothing is done for this
''rfcMt will go OJI to extremities. The
highest Moslem court has declared that
the sultan cannot lawfully lie restrained
in the exercise of his will, since he is
the representative of God for the whole
earth.
"From 15,000 to 20,000 people have
been slaughtered during the last month,
and in consequence no less than 100,000
persons heretofore dependent on them
for their daily food, are now in want.
The coming winter will witness a vast
amount of suffering. It is not alone at
Sassoun, but all over the land where
these occurrences have taken place.
A dispatch to the I/mdori Daily News
from Constantinople, giving a general
resume of the situation, declares that the
recent massacres put the earlier out
rages of Siissoun and Moush entirely in
the background. If eitlicr England,
France or Russia should ptibllsli the
stories reported officially by their cooi.
headed cnsttls all Europe would stand
aghast .it the proof, surprised to think
such thing > possible. Wherever these
consuls have investigated matters rhey
have found that the accusations that the
Armenians provoked the riols are false.
The Ways and Means Chairmanship.
The Fifty-fourth CongTess will shortly
assemble in Washington. It is settled
beyond question that ex-Speaker Reed
will be chosen to preside over the House.
The memorable Fifty-first Congress prov
ed that he is the man for the place and
by the common consent of the party the
speakership will go to him, an honor
j worthily bestowed.
| Pre-eminently important will Vie the
framing of the House committees. Most
important among these will be the Com
mittee on Ways and Means. The abso
! lute necessity of providing revenues to
j meet the running expenses of the gov
i eminent. and the fact that the people,
tas unmistakably shown by the elections
of 1894 and 1895, demand that such
revenues shall be only raised by the ap
plication of the principle of protection,
will place upon this committee immedi
ate and responsible duties.
Next to the speakership the chairman
ship of the Ways and Means committee
is the most important position in the
House. It should be filled by a man of
recognized competency, and one in whom
the party has full confidence. Allegheny
county has a representative who poss
esses these qualifications in the highest
degree. No better man could be chosen
for thus place than John Dalzell, repre
sentative from the Twenty-second dis
trict.
With the exception of H. H. Bingham
and A. C. Harmer, of Philadelphia
neither of whom have served on the
| Ways and Means committee. Mr. Dal
zell has had a, longer continuous service
than any other member of the Pennsyl
vania delegation. He has for eight
years represented Allegheny county, the
banner county for protection in a State
that has never wavered in its adherence
to protection. His district has the great
est iron, steel, glass, tin plate and coal
industries of the country. No one is
more familar with the tariff question
than is he. He knows it in its very de
tail. Serving 011 the Ways and Means
committee in the past, he understands
its work and duties. In the House he
is ready and powerful in debate. Mr.
Dalzell is, in every way, the m an for the
place.
There are, in addition to Mr. Dalzell's
acknowledged qualifications for the
chairmanship of the Ways and Means
committee, other good and sufficient rea
sons for his appointment. He comes
from a State whose industries are as
great as her Republican majorities are
magnificent, Pennsylvania merits re
cognition at the hands of the Republican
party, and it can be most becomingly
granted when the man she presents is
one whose ability, experience and fitness
commend him to the position.—Pitts
burg Times.
Surrounded by Death.
A grim story is published in London
taken from a private letter from Constan
tinople, according to which a diver, while
recently engaged in assisting in the work
of driving piles for a new pier at the
Golden Horn on reaching the sea Dottom
was surprised to find himself surrounded
by the bodies of a num!>er of men appar
ently standing upright around him.
Upon investigation, the diver discover
ed that they were the corpses of students,
many of whom were known to him per
sonally, who were recently arrested by
the Turkish police and afterwards taken
out in boats and drowned in the Bos
pliorus for taking part in the recent dis
turbances at Stambul. All the bodies
had leaden weights attached to the feet,
which kept them erect. The diver said
there were from forty to fifty bodies in
that spot alone.
A dispatch to the Times from Constan
tinople says that the opinion prevails in
diplomatic circles that a European con-
LITRTAV'^"FERIIVSTI'''QTICSNONTOR, L AI
though the powers have agreed, this
agreement cannot be changed into action
for fear of drawing Europe into a dan
gerous eastern situation. The winter
snows will keep the Asiatic provinces
quiet, but something must be done before
springtime revives the excitement and
Macedonia is brought into the movement,
Consuls estimate the loss of property
as a result of the Biarl>ekir riots alone at
f 2,000,000.
General alarm still continues here, de
spite reassuring reports from the prov
inces, anfl the wealthy Armenians sleep
at the hotels in preference to remaining
at their own houses.
Township Public Buildi.igs
An act was passed at the late session of
the legislature which puts it in the
power of the township authorities to sup
ply a public want which has long been
felt in some of the rural districts. This
act provides that "the Supervisors, Road
Commissioners, or other officers having
in charge the Constructing and keeping
in repair the public roads of any town
ship 111 this Commonwealth, are hereby
authorized, at their option, to cause a
suitable lot of .ground to be procured and
cause a suitable building to be erected
thereon for a town house in which to
hold elections, store road machinery,
hold meetings of township officers, and
for other township uses."
It is further provided that to enable
the township authorities to carry out the
provisions of this act, "it shall be lawful
tor the Supervisors, etc., to borrow mon
ey at a rate of interest not exceeding
six per centum, and issue bonds there
for: Provided, That the total indebted
ness incurred by any township, under
this act, shall not exceed one-half of one
]ier centum of the assessed value of real
estate of such township;" and for the
pur}/ise of paying the indebtedness thus
created "to collect annually, in cash, a
tax not exceeding fifty per centum of the
rate of assessment, respectively, laid in
each year for road purposes."
A EIGCUHAN VICTORY.
A messenger who arrived Monday,
at the Cuban headquarters in New York
from Cuba by way of Tampa, l'la., brings
news of a fight November I') at Paguasco.
The engagement is said to have been of
even more importance than the one at
Bayamo some months ago, in which Gen.
Campos was nearly captured.
The Spanish force, which numbered al
most 10,000 men, was led by General
Valdez, Luquc and Aldove. Ihe Cubans
under General Gomez, about 4,000 strong
held advantageous position at the foot of
the hill. The fight lasted 36 hours, ac
cording to the story, but the Spanish
troops were unable to dislodge the
Cubans.
General Antonio Maceo, who was in
the vicinity, came up at this jxiiut, the
messenger says, with 3,50" men, and
after a fierce conflict the Spaniards were
routed. The Cubans then advanced to
ward Cicnfuegos and Trinidad.
It is now stated that the I'rohibiti onitrts
Populists and S'/cialiits arc to be combin
ed into one hij? political party. Just
imagine seeing Mrs. Mary Lease, Jake
Coxey and llerr Most standing on one
political platform, and you have the Mid
way I'laisance of |<olitics in full view.

Political Notes.
W. B. Meredith, of Kittanning denies
that he desires to "return to Harrisburg
as a champion of the re-election of Don.
Cameron,
Harrison ie reported to be doing some
talking in favor of Allison.
The Republican Co. Committee of Jef
ferson Co. met at Brookville lately for the
purpose of taking action on the proposi
tion made by the Indiana County Com
mittee to change the manner of nominat
ing candidates for Congress and Senate.
The subject was fully discussed and a
resolution was passed adopting the plan,
so far as it relates to the nomination of
candidates for Senator. The committee
declined to make any change, at this
time, in the manner of nomination Con
gressional candidates. A committee
was then appointed to meet a smi'ar
committee to be appointed from In
diana county' to arrange the details for
putting the new rale into effect.
Ex-Speaker Reed held a levee at his
rooms in the Shoreham from early Mon
day morning untill late that night.
There was not a Republican Congress
man in the city who did not pay his re
spects to the big man from Maine. His
rooms were crowded at all times,
The day's experience was in the nat
ure of a reception. It is probable that
not a single committee place was can
vassed, but the remainder of the week
will bring to the next speaker great
worriment and vexation of spirit.
Mr. Reed was as care-free as a school
boy, and his wholesome laughter and
playful manner give little hint of the am
bitions that lie hidden behind his round
jolly face. In joking about his walkover
for the speakership he laughingly said,
•'lt's too bad, isn't it? I will have no
friends to reward nor enemies to punish,"
While the remark was made in jest, it
is a pretty clear indication of the policy
Mr. Reed will pursue in organizing th e
House.

QUALITY and QUANTITY.
How GocJf That is oue of th# questions ever confronting the buyers of Dry Good*.
The other is II o . Mrca? Some dealers continually harp upon the quality of lliuir
goods and try to give them a ficititions value by asking an extraordinary price. Others
talk quantity only and sacrifice worth to balk. Our plan is to give the best quality in
the largest quantity. More goods and better g.iods tor a dollar than any store in town.
As for example:
