Harrison witnaiaws.
contribution to current political literature
in the shape of a letter which takes him
out of the race as a candidate for the Re
publican nomination for President.
Monday afternoon General Harrison
sent word to Captain John K. Gowdy.
Chairman of the Republican State Com
mittee, of Indiana to the effect that he
would like to see him at his resilience.
Captain Gowdy expected the ex- Presi
dent had something to say relative to th:
pending discussion of the overthrow of
the legislative act and was somewhat as
tounded when General Harrison ga\e
him the following letter for publication.
Hon. John K. Gowdy, Indianapolis, Ind.:
In view of the resolutions passed by
the State Central Committee at its recent
meeting, and of the fact that delegates
to the National Republican Convention are
soon to be chosen in this State, I have
concluded that some statement from me
as to my wishes and purposes should now
be made to my Indiana friends.
Hitherto I have declined to speak to
the public upon this matter, but scores of
friends to whom I have talked and many
scores more to whom I have written will
recognize in this expression the substance
of what I have sai dto them. To every
one who has proposed to promote my
nomination I have sau!_ "No." There
never has Ijeen an hour since I left the
White House that I have felt a wish to
return to it.
My Indiana friends have been most
devoted and faithful, and I am their
grateful debtor. The Republican party
has twice in national convention given
me its indorsement, and that is enough.
I think the voters of our party are now
entitled to have a new name.
For the sentiment, great or small, that
has lieen manifested for my nomination
I am grateful; and of that wider respect
and kindness—breaking party lines—
which has been shown me in so many
ways, I am profoundly appreciative.
I cannot consent that my name be pre
sented or used in the St. Louis conven
tion, and must kindly ask my friends to
accept this as a final expression on the
subject.
BENJAMIN HARRISON.
Congressman W. Godfrey Hunter, can
didate for U. S. Senator in Kentucky,
was naturalized in Lawrence county in
1865.
t'nitod States Minister Terrell, at Con
stantinople, lias demanded an indemnity
of #IOO,OOO for the burning and pillaging
of the American institutions at Marasli
and Khraput. He also asked for the
immediate granting of finnans for re
building them.
The three most prominent candidates
for President are Reed, McKinley and
Allison. Each has his admirers, and all
admit that no mistake would be made in
nominating either one. They are all
men of eminent ability and sound on the
leading public questions.
Some vigorous language was used in
tilt United States Senate the other day in
regard to the massacre of Armenians for
the simple ofense of being follower* of
Christ instead of Mohammed. If the
great powers would see to it that these
outrages cease it would tx.' more to their
credit than to be prating about their dig
nity. Justice and humanity are the pro
per things to fight for,
The authorities, of Rhode Island, have
discovered that the new law requiring all
persons preforming the marriage cere
mony to register yearly is identical with
nm. enacted 70 years ago, which has
long been a dead letter. The authorities
say there has not been a legal marriage
iu Rhode Island tor 50 years, an<j will
apply to the Legislature to have the acti>
of all unlicensed clergymen uuide valid.
Washington Notes.
The free coinage substitute to the bond
bill, which passed the house some time
ago, was put through the senate last Sat
urday afternoon by a majority of 7 votes,
twelve senators being absent, but paired.
Among those absent was Senator Quay,
who was paired with Senator Morgan, of
Alabama, and he would have voted
against the free silver substitute had he
been present. Senator Cameron was in
his seat and voted for the free coinage
substitute.
The post office committee of the house
has agreed to report with some amend
ments Representative Sparry's bill to
provide for delivery of letters in towns
and other places where no free delivery
exists. Whenever not less than twenty
persons who receive their mail matter j
through the same postoffice petition the
postmaster at such office to do so. he is to
appoint carriers.
The senate committee on judiciary has
authorized a favorable report on Senator
Ilansbrough's bill to prevent the use of
the American flag for advertising purpose.
The President advises congress to make
an appropriation to the famlies of three
Itilians who were lynched in Colorado
last March. A Correspondence with the
Italian minister accompanies the message
as well as a report on the lynching case
faom Secretary Olney. The Italian
minister makes no call for a specific sum,
but merely asks for a sum that would
"accord with the spirit cf justice. ' Sec
retary Olney suggests is.ooo for each one
of the lynched Italians, that being the
sum exacted in many states for killing a
man bv negligence. One of the Italians,
who had completed his naturalization, is
held not to be entitled to indemnity,
while the others, who had only declared
their intention to become citizens, are
entitled.
The silver bill that passed the senate
provides for the coinage of all silver
offered at the treasury at the ex
isting ratio; second, it provides for the
coinage of the seigniorage now in the
treasury, and for the immediate issue ot
certificates upon the same in advance of
coinage; third, it withdraws from circu
lation all bank notes of less denomination
than $ 10; and fourth, it requires that de
mand notes shall be redeemed in silver
and gold at the option of the treasury,
and when so redeemed shall be imme
diately reissued.
"May God save the commonwealth,
were the words of Senator Morrill, of
Vermont, the venerable chairman of the
Finance committee, Tuesday morning,
when he reported the free silver substi
tute for the House tariff bill. This latest
free silver outrage was the climax of the
bunco game that Senator Joaes, Populist,
of Nevada, has been playing upon the
Republicans and the country during the
the past four weeks.
After virtually promising that he
would vote with the Republican members
of the Finance committee to report the
tariff bill wit'nont amendment, he turned
tail that morning and joined with tlie'six
Democrats in reporting as a substitute
exactly the same measure which passe*
the Seuate Saturday and is now before
the House. For the free Democrats who
voted with him there is the poor excuse
of party advantage for their action, but
this renegade Republican has nothing to
hide behind but malice and inherent
pettiness of character. Saturday's action
accomplished all for free silver that
could be hoped for, and this action
has only hurt the cause he so hypocriti
cally pretends to hold dear. Even Sena
tor Wolcott. of Colorado, just as pro
nounced a free silver man as Mr. Jones,
voted by proxy againt the free silver sub
stitute; and many of the other Western
Republicans are outspoken in their oppo
itfin&ifcmticriilc move to defeat the
tariff bill. Senator Pettigrew, of South
Dakota, said: I am against it. You
might just as well try to put the 10 com
mandments on any bill that comes into
the Senate." Senator Pritchard, of
North Carolina, said: "I am a silver Re
publican anil in favor of tariff as well as
silver legislation. 1 would feel it my
duty to oppose this substitute.
Senators Hansbrougli, of North Dakota
Carter and Mantle, of Montana; Clark
and Warren, of Wyoming; Wilson, of
Washington, and Perkins, of California,
nil expressed similar views and says they
will not support it.
The Dempsey Case.
The recommendation of a pardon for
Mr. Uempsey ends a case that is one of
the most remarkable and puzzling on
record. At the time of Mr. Denipsey's
conviction the weight of evidence seemed
to justify the general belief 111 his com
plicity in the alleged poisoning at Home
stead.
But that weight of evidence was sub
sequently reduced by the demonstration
of the chief witness, Gallagher, that his
evidence, either for or against Mr. Demp
sey, could not be accepted as of the value
of the breath it took to give it. After
both of them were in the penitentiary,
this person, on whose testimony the con
viction was principally based, proceeded
to make confessions, which one day de
clared th at his testimony was false; the
next day that his confession was false.
Not even the recent phenomena of Bar
bara Aub in New York rivaled Gal
laugher's demonstration that 110 reliance
could be placed on his word.
It is to be admitted that this presented
a question before which the public anil
the pardoning powers might stand for a
time puzzled. When Gallagher had
shown that his confession of Denipsey's
innocence was of no value, was that suf
ficient ground for overturning the verdict
and sentence of the Court? Or, 011 the
other hand, when the subsequent pro
ceedings of the chief witness against
Dempsey had deprived him of all cre
dence, should a man convicted 011 such
evidence be kept in prison? If Dempsey
was guilty of what he was charged, his
full sentence was none too severe for
him. If he was innocent, a day's im
prisonment was a monstrous wrong. JJiit
which was the correct conclusion from
the multifarious and irreconcilable decla
rations of the witness who by his own
showing could be induced for very slight
considerations to swear to one thing en
one day and thn> opposite thing the next
day?
We believe that the conclusion which
the Parden Board has arrived at, after
much delay, is the correct one. The con
viction was based entirely on Gallagher's
evidence, which subsequently proved
to be worthless. When that point was
made clear, it was a public duty to put
an end to the punishment inflicted by
that worthless testimony.—Dispatch.
Governor Hastings last Thursday par
doned Jfugli F. Dempsey, the Pittsburg
labor leader, in accordance with the re
commendation of the bojird or pardons.
Dcmpsey's pardon arrived in Pittsburg
Friday, when his wife went to the pen- j
iteutiary with a carriage and took him |
home. He was well known to many j
Butler county people. 1
Constables and Constables.
Judge Harry White, in response to a
request from the Blairsville Courier, has
written a letter briefly defining the
ference between the duties of a High
Constable anil of an ordinary ward or
borough Constable The matter is made
clear, although of course not altogether
complete in the limited space at com
mand. and we make the following ex
tract.
•'The general Constable or 'ward Con
stable,' has the general powers of Con
stables or a peace officer. He is in some
respect under and subject to the control
of the Court. After li:- election an- >e
fore he takes upon himself his duties, he
must give his security to l>e approved
bv the Court; lie must make quartely re
turns to the court under oath. ana t,u
Court must take notice of this return
it is the equivalent of an oath on charge
before a magistrate. He can also make
arrest for breach of the peace and 011 rea
sonable cause for the suspicion of crime.
Bv numerous la *s, he must make return*
of tippling houses, or. as we now call
them, speak-easies; must see that index
boards are up; report the condition o
roads; also wagers on elections and
manv other matters of a criminal nature.
"Then he must execute the warrants
and processess from the Justices ot the
Peace. These ward constables, then
while elected ill the wards, yet are not
entirely local officers, for they can ser\e
processes outside the ward and any place
in the county, and their fees or compen
sations are fixed by the law and Acts 01
Assembly. From this general indication
of the duties and authority of what is
'ward constable' may be learned the
nature of his office. _ ,11
"The High Constable is only a .ocal
officer He is strictly only the ministerial
officer of the Burgess and Town Council.
He gives his Ijona to them and thev. n\
ordinance, fix his salary or compensation
He serves the notices ot the Council an 1
executes all their orders and ordinances.
He gives notice of the borough elections
and is especially the executive officer o
the Council. To execute the orders and
ordinances of the borough he has the
power a.id authority of a general Con
stable. In vulgar parlance ana out oi
some disrespect he has been called hog
Constable.' This.becuase he must remove
nuisances such as dead hogs, or other
offensive matter about the borough.
"Unlike the general Constable, he can
not be compelled to execute the pro
cessess of the Justices ot tne Peace. Ihe
Legislature in IS7B, when providing for
the division of boroughs into wards re
quired the election of a high Constable
by the vote of all the wards. This has
not been changed.
"While the duties of a High Constable
in the l>orough as the officer of the Coun
cil are important, yet, we conceive, the
ward Constables could have been utilized
for the purpose; if not, the Chief of I o
lice could. Without any disrespect to
any High Constables, we think it is an
unnecessary office and its existence is
often confusing."
Political Notes
George V. Lawrence, of Washington
county, Pa., has about decided to enter
the contest for Congressman-at-largc.
McKinley, 292 votes; Reed, 245; Al
lison, 144; Morton, 101; Cameron, 3H,
Harrison, 30; Bradley, 26; Davis, 24;
Elkitis, 12. Necessary to a choice, 457-
The above is an estimate of the first
ballot at the Republican national conven
tion in St. Louis on June 16 or 17. It
was prepared on Friday night of last
week at a conference at Washington of
five of the keenest leaders and wire pull
ers in the Republican party, who have
some wires of their own to pull and axes
to grid. One interesting feature of the
estimate is the number of dark horses,
viz: Harrison, Cameron, Davis, Klkins
and Bradley. All but Cameron will go
into the convention with the solid dele
gations of their states behind them.
Cameron's nucleus of 38 votes will come
from the silver states west of the Missouri
river. Pennsylvania will give him a cold
shoulder. Senator Cullom's announce
ment is expected soon, and it is hinted
that Tennessee may put forward 11. Clay
Evans, who was cheated out of the
In this case the five will have to meet
anil guess again. They undoubtedly
have plenty of room to do so under any
circumstances. The Pennsylvania dele
gation, for instance is placed solidly in
the Reed column.
The findings of the Franklin county,
Ohio, grand jury last Saturday in return
ing indictments against Senators Gear,
Abbott and Iden, are likely to be fol
lowed in a few days by charges against
ex-Senators Phillips and Parker in con
nection with legislation in the Seventy
five general assembly. The indictment
against Gear charges him with soliciting
Jt2oo from Hon. Charles Flammerfelt, in
connection with a bill providing for the
payment of the latter's expenses in con
ducting a contest for liis seat. Mr. Abbott
is sharged with soliciting a bribe in con
nection with the passage of the pharmacy
bill, which lie introduced and had passed
in the senate. Mr. Iden is charged with
having offered a bride of SSO to a clerk in
the house of representatives four years
ago to falsify the roll call.

South America. At one time the whole

The House Committee on postoffices
and post-roads, has reported favorably a
bill to extend the mail-carrier service in
districts where free delivery is not
authorized. The bill provides that 011
the petition of not less than twenty
citizens, the postmaster in the district
may appoint a carrier, who shall receive
as compensation whatever may be agreed
upon by the petitioners to subscribe. If
there is no agreement, then the carrier
may receive one cent for each letter or
package delivered. The carrier shall be
subject to the rules and regulations of
the United States postal service. This
delivery service is ;iot to be compulsory,
as any one of the petitioners, if he elects
to have his mail left in the postoffice,
will not l>e colled upon to contribute to
the compensation of the carrier.

The Misrepresentative Senate.
' The National Senate showed how far it
! was out of touch with the feeling of the
people of the country by passing the bond
hill with the free coinage amendment.
The majority for this was seven rote-, but
! this counts for nothing when it ia known
i that fou-teen of the affirmative ballots
were ca-t by Senators from Utah. Wyom
ing Nevada. North Dakota Montana,
Idaho, South Dakota and Colorado, which
■ united have a population less than <ne
| fourth of that of Pennsylvania, the seuti
-1 raent- of whose people wero also grosM}
misrepresented bv one of its Senators.
Mi-si-sippi and South Carolina, whose
j Senators are chosen by » vast minority of
their people, also contributed four votes,
I and two more came from accidental Sena
i lors from Kansas and Nebraska whose
colleagues elected more recently rep.-e
--' rented the real sentiment of their consti'U
' ents by voting against the bill as passed.
The Senator- who oppo-ed the amended
bill represent a constituency fully three
times as great as those who supported it,
md ait the same time the former truly ex
pressed their constituents' wishes, which
the latter in many cases did not.
The alleged Kepublican Senators who
supported the measure did not in any
Bel:-e represent the wishes of their party,
nor did 'hey consult its best interests by
' their action. If they propose to pursue
' the same tactics in the future. as it has
been intimated may be thecase.the sooner
they cut loose from the party the better,
i The Kepublicans in the House of Kepre
sentatives fresh from '-he people are ihe
correct iudex of the party - wishes, and
their action and cot that of the recreant
Senators from Stales which as a rule have
less than hall the population of Allegheny
county will be taken to be the coxrect one.
! The House will doubtless promptly dis
i ngree to the bill with the tree coinage
amendment, and it r-hould insist upon such
! disagreement to the end. Meanwhile the
Senate should get down to business and
I pass the tariff bill. If there is to be any
| :nore free coinage nonsense in c >i.nectii n
.vi'h the tariff bill these Kepublican Sena
tors who countenance it might »» well
i ,end in their resignations and let. suc
cessors be chosen who will truly represent
| Kepublican principles. —Pittsburg Tiuie>.

Gravel Cured
(Philadelphia, Penn., Item)
A healthier, heartier, happier man than
John J. Neill, of 2437 North Eighth
□ street, Philadelphia, could not be found
in a day's search. The fact that he is
still alive is a constant wonder to his
friends.
In the fall of he began to suffer
, indescribable miseries from stone in the
• bladder. Consulting an eminent physi
cian in Philadelphia, he was told that a
surgical operation was necessary. So
much did he dread the result, for if un
successful it meant death, that he put off
the evil day as long as possible. While
in this frame of mind, he heard of
DR. DAVID KENNEDY'S
FAVORITE REMEDY
Although disliearted, on July 1, 1893, he
bought a lx>ttle of it, and within a mouth
had experienced beneficial results, and
l>efore lie had finished the third bottle,
the gravel was completely dissolved and
his sufferings at an end.
Mr. Neill feels that he owes a lastiug
debt of gratitude to Dr. Kennedy?s Fav
orite Remedy, and for disorders of the
bladder and urinary organs says, "it will
effect a cure if one lie possible."
Favorite Remedy is prescribed with un
failing success for rheumatism, dyspepsia
and nerve troubles in which it has cured
many that were considered beyond the
aid of medicine. All druggests, fi.
