THE REPUBLICAN. W. M. CHEIfEY, - - - - Editor. FIUDAY, JUNE 10, 1898. Entered at the Post Office LaPorte, Pa. as second class mail matter. WASHINGTON. The Victim* of i'ridny'M Disaster at litkl. WASHINGTON, June 11. —The re mains of the dead victims of the horrible wreck of Ford's theatre Friday have nearly all been dis posed of. Washington was to-day a city of funerals, and all day long mourners have gone about the streets. Every one knew what the sad processions meant, and the sym pathy of all was extended, albeit unexpressed in many cases, to the Borrowing, stricken ones. Inquiries confirm the statement that none of the victims were men of property. Most of the men lived on their sal aries, which furnished means of livelihood, but left little for a day like this. Most of them were mar ried, and some had large families, who are now left, if not entirely de pendent upon friends and relatives, at least lacking in funds for im mediate relief. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S POSITION. "If the Coroner's jury finds a verdict involving criminality, it will be my duty to report the matter to the Grand Jury for investigation and action," said District Attorney Firney, "indictments will probably follow, unless it is found that the blame is so distributed as to make such a course impossible. This might be the case, if it was the be lief of the jury, that Congress, for instance, is the blame worth party. I have taken no action in this un fortunate matter, and cannot do so until ater the inquest. I shall how ever, send one of my assistants to attend the Coroner's inquiry and make such suggestions as appear necessary as to the course of the investigation and the witnesses to be examined. You may be sure that we will follow the cases slowly. I see that the War Department is to have an investigation of its own. The result of this, taken with the findings of the Coroner's inquest, will be of value to me in case of criminality being established against any one. Between the two investi gations it ought to be possible to fix the blame." "A workman" writes to the New YorK Sim as follows: "Do I under stand you to advocate a duty on tea, coffee and sugar ? Is this the scheme by which we working peo ple are to be benefited ? Will you please inform how much work the average workman will save in a year when the tariff is taken off foreign manufactured goods and a corres ponding duty is placed on tea, cof fee and sugar." To this the Sun replies that the people of the United States last November, by their votes, decreed that the protection tarill system should be abolished and a tarifl for revenue substituted, and the experiment must therefore be tried whatever the consequences. This is cool comfort for the average workman who has been enjoying untaxed sugar, tea and coffee and who does not care for the expensive foreign manufactures on which high duties are paid; and, moreover, whose wages have been kept up by the same system that gives him un taxed coffee, tea and sugar. There is no certainty, however, that the Democratic party will carry out the extreme tariff policy embodied in its platform. From the Cleveland (Ohio) Leader is taken the following note of warning to .young girls who may have tempting offers of situations in Chicago during the World's Fair: "from many reliable sources come grave warnings to girls and young women who contemplate going to Chicago this summer to secure em ployment and thus get a chance to see the Fair and make some money besides. Scores of the advertise ments which are inserted in many country newspapers for help, promis ing light, pTeasant employment to young women aud girls, are the lures of the procurer and will doubt less drag many innocent young per sons i»to dens of vice and iniquity. It is true there is an abnormal de mand for help in Chicago this sum mer, but the young woman who an swers an advertisement and goes to the city without having proof of the character of her employer is very apt to step into a pitfall. Every paper in the country should hasten to publish ft warning. It is a part of the duty of the public press to protect as far as possible the honest, well-meaning working girls of their communities, and to put them on tbeir guard against such a fate." ADDITI OjfAL LOOA jj. Children's D f*V Sunday June IStli. Talk al>out w onion being flighty [ Look at bank cashiers. Everybody is complaining of hard times. Credit it to tho Democratic administration. The silver bill is attracting con siderable attention just now, and so is the silver dollar. The old soldiers will have tt> take their medicine. The government is 110 longer in the hao'as of their friends. There is plenty Q f money and plenty of stuff in the country, and the trouble with business is : What is the democratic party going to do? President Cleveland has only been io office three months and the price of sugar has gone up one cent 011 a pound. "Gee Whack" what will it be at the end of his term. The Y's. will hold a meeting at Miss Meylert's, Friday evening, from 7 to 8 o'clock June 16th, 1893. All are cordially invited! LOTTIE MILLER, Secy.

New Reporter—"Do we say the 'Chicago fair' or the 'World's Fair?'" Eastern Editor—'l am not sure j-et If it turns out well it is the World's fair; but if it is a fizzle we shall | credit it to Chicago." -Congress seems to have been re sponsible for the occupancy of the old Ford theatre after it had been condemned as unsafe. Unfortunate ly it will hardly be possible to send all of the congressmen to jail for j criminal neglect. The owners of the several tan neries in this section, are placing themselves in shape to do business according to the dictations of the tannery trust. When this organiza tion comes together look out for a raise in shoe leather. Austin Brown of Fox township, killed a bear the other day that tiped the beam at 348 pounds. For the past months farmers in that sec tion have been missing sheep. One man losing 10 out of his flock. It is supposed that this monster bruin massacred them. The Democratic congress will rid dle things in September. That is what the Republicans want. We want them to change things to suit their platform and let the people notice the difference. If they do not make a general repeal of laws, favorable to their platform— hey will be put down in history as cow ards of the lowest type. It is pretty positive that the old soldier and the working people will get enough of Democratic adminis tration the coming four years. The democrats are all right but their platform is a failure. Hard times is coming and money is growing scarce and when the two millions or more of pension claims are cut off the thing will be more noticeable. Court is in session at Scranton where there is a case being tried for the second time in which the late Judge Mason was a very important witness. A young man of Scranton by the name of Long, came down cn Monday to borrow Judge Mason's notes in the case, but Clayton re fused to let them go. A subpa-na served on Clayton is the only way possible to secure the notes. ■riie Third Quarterly Convention ol the Sullivan Co. W. C. T.
