The Oailv Review. Towantla, Pa., TuesJay, Dec. 13, 1881. EDITORS S. W. ALVORD. NOBLE N.ALVORD " Shi il if Ktrlete" Only 25 renin ptr month . l'rjt it! There was a time when the death of John W. Forney would have made a wide gap in Republican polities and journal ism, but that time was many years ago. Of late Colonel Forney lias not been a, conspicuous figure in public affairs. His , literary activities were narrowed down . to his weekly paper, and the political ec centricity. arising largely from personal friendship, which took him out of the Republican ranks last year and caused him to support General Hancock, ended his influence in party controversies. ; The fruitful period of his life began when 1 he cut loose from the Slave Democracy, in 1855, and became a vigorous champion of the cause of freedom, lie was a friend and adviser of Lincoln and of most of the | statesmen of the war period, and did ex-' cellent service with his pen for the cause | of the Union. Though he lost his .grasp i I on public affairs in his later career, he | never loosed his hold on the hearts of a j large circle of friends. lie was a de- | jightful talker and a charming companion and he will no doubt be longer remem bered in Philadelphia for his anecdotes and reminescences, his after-dinner speeches and his genial person rtity, than for his political labors. When he eon trolled the Press, his editorial room, with its big bay window, used to be pointed out as one of the sights of the city. It saw a deal of good company i:t the course of twenty years. Few men of note visit ed Philadelphia without spending half an hour in one of its easy chairs, listening to Colonel Forney's cordial and enter- ! t lining conversation.— Tribune The estimated loss of life in the Vien na theater has reached the appalling lim it of 70;). The mortality was increased by a terrible blunder. Some irresponsi ble person, with a view of preventing an explosion, ordered the gas to be turned out. and thus left the audience to si nig gle in the dark through the blind passag es of the opera house. The exits were deficient in number and si/.e and these were radical defects in construction. I3ul doors will not insure the safety of an audience unless they can be instantane ously opened in a critical emergency. Mine. 1 1 in c leinarked co one of one re porters on Friday that sh<> did not be lieve that the doors of our own Academy would he of much use in case of a panic or lire, as she had tried them 'luring a re hearsal and found them all locked, with no keys in sight. What is needed in ev ery place of amusement is ;i special pa trol of watchers in front and in rear wlio will know precisely what to do in an emergency and who will havedho means at hand of extinguishing fire and repress ing alarm. Such a body of theater lire men and "police should, be thoroughly drilled by a competent captain.— Tribune. Congressman Speer's declaration that he will nrvpr go into another Democrat ic caucus is exhilarating. He commands the support of his own constituency and tirnb himself in a position where lie can dispense with his party associations. He perceives that the Virginia situation is r'prated in Georgia with the debt issue 1 di out, and believes that, an independent movement will lie started next year and a fell State ticket nominated. His con-! tidenco may )>e overwrought, but there can lie no doubt that it is a real vista that <>p"iis before his prophetic eves, al though Ids perspective may be slight Iv at 1 fault I i anv event. Mr. Npeer will be' an .admirable leader for ih ' iioh-p ndrnt! moveni'nt in (J •orgia. wh-Miever ir may! be sucressJiißly organized.
