The Democrat. FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1890. THERE are 1,800 women printers in Paris. JUDGE KEI.I.RY IS in rapidly health, and appeu:s to grow weaker every day. A WOMAN suffrage bill was introduced in the United State Senate on December 16th, by Senator Manderson. THE widow of General George 11.

As AN exchange says the young men of this country are drifting toward the Dem ocratic ranks. The old Republicanism is dead and has become a mere remims. cence, a bit of ancient history. Some relics of positiveness, we admit, still sur vive, but these run counter to the best thought of the day, and completely an tagonize the modern spirit of progressive ness. SIR EDWARD GUINNESS, long famous as a brewer, is to be hereafter renowned as a philanthropist.

PARXEIA made two of his most re markable speeches at public meetings last week, held by the Liberals of Notting ham. II is tone was studiously modcrate and favorably impressed his English hearers. He contended that while Ire land might possibly be governed in definitely by coercion, it could not be successfully governed by the Balfour mixture of coercion and constitutionalism. The country is peaceful, in spite of the provocation of the Crimes Act, be said, because Ireland trusts in the good sense and justice of the English and believes that under Mr. Gladstone's lead in a few years there will be passed such a measure of Home Bule as will at once and forever settle the vexed " Irish Question." ••OUK CUKISTIAN HERITAGE." Such is the title of a book just issued by John Murpliy & Co., of Baltimore. The author is Cardinal Gibbons. He draws a picture of five great evils which threaten the American people, as destruc tive of ourGoverment and our civilization. He treats the subject ably from his standpoint and the book is worth read ing. He says: •'lf our Government and legislation are permeated and fortified by Divine revela tion and Christian traditions, we cannot ignore the fact that they are assailed by unbelief, impiety and socialism. We are comfronted by five great evils—Mor monism and divorce, which strike at the foot of the family and society ; an imper iert and vicious system of education, which undermines the religion of our youth ; the desecration of the Christian Sabbath, which tends to obliterate in .our adult population the salutary tear of God and the homage that we owe Him; the gross and the systematic election frauds, and, lastly, the unreasonable delay in carrying into effect the sentences of our criminal Courts and the numerous subterfuges by which criminals evade the execution of the law. Our insatiable greed for gain, the co-existence of colossal wealth with abjeef'poverty, the extrava gance of the rich, the discontent of the poor, our eager and impetuous rushing through life, a.id every other moral and social delinquency may be traced to one of the five radical vices enumerated above. "Every man.that has the welfare of his country at heart cannot fail to view with alarm the existence ni d the gradua development of mormonism, which is a discredit to our Goverment. The feeblo and spasmodic attempts that have been made to repress this social evil, and the virtual immunity that it enjoys, lmve rendered its apostles bold and defiant. The reckless facility with which divorce is procured is an evil scarcely less de plorable than .Mormonism, for divorce has the sanction of the civil law, which Mormonism has not. Mormonism consists in simultaneous polygamy, while the law of divorce practically lcads.to suc cessive polygamy. "There was a total of 328,710 divorces in the United States in the twenty years, 1807-80. The; divorces in the latter half were 00 per cent, more than those in the first Half. Divorce is rapidly spreading over the community, and poisoning the fountains of the nation, Unless the evil is checked the very existence of family life (is imperilled. This calls for a radic al cure, and the remedy can be found only in of our mischievous Jegislation regarding divorce, aDd in an honest application of the teachings of the Gospel. "The second evil that bodes mis chief to the country and endangers the stability of our Government arises from our mutilated and defective system of public Bchool education. An education that improves the mind and the memory to the neglect of moral and religious training is, at best, but an imperfect sys tem. It is not enough for children to have a secular education ; they must re ceive also a religious training. Indeed, religious knowledge is as far above human science as ileayen is above earth. The remedy for the defects of our educa tional system would be supplied if the denominational system, such as now ob tains in Canada, were applied in our public schools. "The desecration of the Christian Sab bath is the third social danger against which it behooves us to set our faces, and take timely precautions before it as sumes pi oportions too formidable to be easily eradicated. A close observer can not fail to note the dangerous inroads that liave been made on the Lord's Day in our country within the iast quarter of a century. If these encroachments are not checked in time, the day may come when religious quiet will be changed into noise andgturbulence. " The ballot is the expression of the w ill of a free people, and its purity shoulij be guarded with the utmost jealousy. The repeated cry of ' election frauds ' is one full of warning. Frauds are attempt ed, and too often successfully, upon the ballot. It is the gravest menace to free institutions. •'Defective registration laws and neg ligence to secure the ballot box by care ful in part account for such a state of affairs. A prime cause is that the better class of citizens so often stand aloof from practical politics and the conduct of campaigns. The violation of purity of the ballot leads directly to the point where there is cither lossot liberty or revolution to restore it." .V RAILROAD WRECK. A Triple Collision on tli IVIUIH) lvunift Kallroad—A lirakeman Killed—A l'eeu liar Accident Near Altoona in Which Cars are limned and all Trains De layed. About 4 o'dock Friday morning a i eastbound train of coal cars stopped for some unknown cause on the heavy grade on the mountain side, about three miles west of Altoona. While it was standing there another eastbouud coal train came along and crashed into the rear of the first train. Several cars were badly used up, and the colliding engine was also damaged, but did not leave the rails. The tracks were obstructed, and this caused two light engines that were following close after the last train to stop very near to the place of the collision to wait while the debris was being cleared away. This was a work of unusual length of time owing to the fact that when the ca boose on the first train was struck by the second one it was badly wrecked, and the stove in it was overturned. This set fire to the caboose and burned it entirely up, together with the car in front or it. There were no means at hand for ex tinguishing the flames, and they had to be allowed to take their course until they could burn out. This, of course, made a longer delay than usual, for. although the debirs could have been cleared from the west bound track, the heat and liames were so severe that no trains could puss the spot. While waiting for the fire to burn out another east bound coal train came along, and without auy warning struck the two light locomotives that were standing on tie tracks and pushc4 them up on the train ahead that had collided with the first one. Here it was that the fatal in cident of the wrecks occurred. Fireman Charles English, of one of the light en gines, No. 1176,Jwas caught between the tank of his engine and one of the ears and was instantly crushed to death. Although he was extricated from the wreck as quickly as willing hands could work, it was all too late and life was extinct. English was ;& single man and lived in AJtoona. His body was taken there on the fire train and will be buried there to morrow. , Strange to say none of the locomotives left the rails, although all were more or less damaged. As soon as tiio fire had burned out the wrecking crews that had meanwhile arrived from Altoona, went to work and soon had the debris cleared away. The west-bound track was opened and ready for business at 8 o'clock this morning, but it was 11 o'clock before the wreckage had all been removed from the east-bound track sufficiently to allow the trains to pass. All the w*st-bonnd through passenger trains were held at Altoona. while the limited and lirst section of the Day Express, east-bound, were held at Gallitziu. As yet it has not been deter mined upon whose shoulders shail rest tnc responsibility for the wreck. Westbound trains passing here were behind time all day yesterday.

AS HE SAW IT. HKMtY OKOIIGK GIVES AN ACCOUNT OF HIS VISIT TO JOHNSTOWN. How the I'laec Has Changed—The I.iuul More Valuable Than Ever—Mr Mox ham ami the Johnson Company. From the standard. New York. I could not get from Youngstowu to Johnstown, Pa., until late in the after noon, but as the train drew up at the station I saw, waiting to meet me. the slight figure of Tom L. Johnson's partner, A. J. Moxham, the man whose nerve, tact and leadership saved Johnstown from horrors that might have followed the flood, Mr. Moxham drove me rapidly through the town —which, though being fast rebuilt, still shows an awful contrast to what it was when I was there last — and up on the bill to a point where a view of the valley can be had. It is hard to describe the impression of awe which is even now made on the visitor by what he sees and hears in Johnstown. Remains of the victims arc still being found. Only a few days before my visit the body of Mr. Moxham's secretary, whom I had met in full strength and vigor when last in Johnstown had been found. Another body, supposed to be his, had been recov ered sometime before, and sent to his na tive place for interment, but that that was a mistake was conclusively shown by the watch aud safe"keys in the clothing of the body last found. Only a few weeks before the flood came Mr. Moxham had removed from a part of Johnstown that was swept absolutely bare, to the higher ground of the town named after him, about two miles dis tant, where the new works of the Johnson Company are situated. All day he had been wi >rkiug to save a bndge.over Stony creek from being carried away, and had just retired to his house to get some rest when, with a sudden burst, the back water from the deluge which swept down the Conemaugh rose five feet on the floor of the Joliuson rolling mill. They knew at Moxham what had occurred at Johns town, fir the floor of the roll ing mill is 011 a level with the highest part of the Johnstown bridge, but to reach the city wus utterly impossi ble. All night long the flames from the burning wreckage at the bridge rolled up, and screams of direst agony were heard. But during the niglit Mr. Moxam had done what it was possible to do. He bad organized the ittle neighborhood (for the works liad just been erected, and there were few people living there as yet), and with the morning light men were sent out to gather w latevcr provisions could be got, with instructions to promise tlat the Johnson Company would be security for payment, but to secure them anynow, Otiiers were sent to note and guard every eatable animal, and mounted on the strongest liorse a man bearing dispatches to Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Philadelphia and New York was sent out with direc tions to ride across the hills and not to return till he had found some telegraph station where the wires were not all down. Mr. Moxham himself started into Johns town, and got there at last, but how is now a mystery to himself. As lie looked down the main street he saw the awful wreck, with whisky barrels already rolled out here and there among the debris, and men and women getting crazy drunk around them, and the pillaging of the dead going on openly, his one thought was to get back to Moxham, get his wife and children into ins carriage and get away somehow. But the imploring cry of an old woman who threw herself be fore him, and asked what they were to do, roused him. The minor flood of the day before had put out fires and destroyed provisions, and many people had bad nothing to eat for thirty-six hours. With the old woman's cry Mr. Moxham saw in a flash the absolute necessity of inspiring hope, and answered as confidently as if it were true. " I have a telegram in my pocket that says a train loaded with pro visions is on its way over the Baltimore & Ohio Road and will be here at 1 o'clock." Qoing a little further he met a group of the leading survivors. How they made him dictator, and how he ac cepted a responsibility on the promise of obedience, pledging himself and his part ners to pay for all labor demanded and all property taken, if there should be no other provision ; how he organized com mittees, and swore in a police force, and collected what provisions could be found, and stopped plundering, and broke in the heads of the whisky barrels, and began to clear the debris, and collect and bury the dead, and maintained order until live (luvs thereafter he turned over his respon sibility to the head of the Pittsburg re- lief committee, are all of the history of lobnstown. Johnstown to-day is more populous than before the llood, though only re building. And though Kid ridge and Coffin and others of our best single tax men are gone, the single tax club, of which Mr. Moxham is president, is in strong vitality. And there is . a most striking single tax object lesson here, as was printed in The Standard some weeks since. The buildings were carried away by the rush of t,he waters, und thousands met a horri ble death, but land is more valuable than ever. A few days before T got to Johnstown occurred the panic in the Johnstown the atre. This I naturally thought would have made anything but the smallest kind of an audience impossible. But the Presi dent of the single tax club was equal to the emergency. He changed the place of the meeting to Moxham, and telegraph ed to Pittsburgh to hire some addi tiouut passenger cnrs from the B. & O. road, and advertised a free lecture in the spacious laying out room of the Johnson Works, which, being on the ground floor and with large doors opening on all sides, prevented all fear of a panic and rush. The "laying out room" is the place where the plans for the switchings, cross, ings and other rail work which the John son Company do arc drawn out on the floor, and the patterns are laid down so as to be certaiu that they lit. I'be floor is in fact a great druwing board. This Mr. Moxham had covered with sawdust and filled with some fifteen hundred chuirs, while u platform was erected at one end. The approaches were lit up with locomotive headlights and bonfires, and the cars on the Moxham steam road brought out so many people that, instead of the small gathering that I had ex pected to meet, there was a splendid auuience. In the manner of its getting up, and in the character of the two men this meeting reminded me strongly of the meeting which I addressed in Silas M. Burrough's Pheonex mills at Dartford, near London, on the eve of the 4th of July. Cue ruer. is as American in Eng laud ; the other an Englishman in America ; but both are citizens of the world ; both are at the head of large man ufacturiug enterprises, and both are ardent and absolute free traders. Both are land owners, and both are active sup- I porters of the single tax. The Johnson Works arc well worth a visit in themselves, as they hnve been fitted up with the best mechanical de vices. Though hardly yet in full running order they have turned out in the year now closing no less than 700 miles of city railroad track and appurtenances—some thing like 45,000 tons of steel ready to go into place. In addition to the product of their own rolling mill the company takes 15,000 tons of the product of the Cambria. Besides the steam road which the)' have built between Moxham and Johnstown. Messrs. Johnson and Moxham have bought the Johnstown Street Railroad, which has lain abandoned since the flood, and will, in the spring, lay it with new track and equip as an electric road. Nor personally have they any reasotT to quar rel with the existing order, which, as single tax men they so strongly assail. They bought 'Oinc 200 acres of land be fore planning their works, paying for it some #25,000. The flood has had a strong effect in sending the title of population to this higher ground "There," said Mr. Moxham, pointing out to me a uew building, as we were about entering the hall where lie introduced me in a ringing ittlc single tax speech, " there is a lot which we bought for #SO and have sold for #1,500." A TRIUMPH FOR TEMPERANCE. The Solrmn Oath of an Inebriate Who Swore Off. Washington Post. Judge Corwin's famous temperance ad dress, which was printed in Postscript! a few weeks ngo, recalls an incident which occurred during one of Francis Murphy's blue-ribbon addresses. A drunken man sat in the audience and listened with owlish gravity to the remarks. Murphy was telling of a fearful occurrence alleged to have happened in a distant State — where such things always happen. " And, my friends," said he, "this pocr wretch was so filled and saturated with alcohol that lie fairly breathed alcohol, aud one night whta he tried to blow out a candle the flames set the alcohol fumes afire and the miserable sot was burned alive." • The drunken man rose to his feet and huskily demanded— , " Ish thasho?" " It is most assuredly so, sir." " Got er—hie—got er book ?" "Yes, right (town here in front." The horrible example walked uncer tainly down in front. The audience was on tip-toes of expectancy. Here was another brand plucked from the burning. " I solemly shwear," said the inebriate, "that never, sho long's I live, will 1 —hie —will I ever blow out another candle." UNDER THE WHEELS. •loliii Ling, of Indiana Cotiny, Loses His Feet by Falling Under the Cars at the P. R. R. Station. John Ling, a young man aged about eighteen years, son of Mr. Reuben Ling, of Baker's Furnace, Indiana county, met with a terrible accident at the Pennsyl vania Railroad Station Friday evening a few minutes before 5 o'clock. He had been taking a ride on a westbound freight and having got olf, wns attempting to board and eastbound freight when he missed his footing and swung under the wheels. Both legs were cut .completely off some distance above the ankle. He was carried to the baggage room and later to the Cumbria Hospital. Dr. VV. B. Lnwmon amputated both legs below the knee, and also found that Ling had sus tained a fracture of lus left thigh. Late yesterday evening lie was doing as well as could be expected, but bis plight is by no means encouraging. Ling has a brother working about 'own and had been here for a couple of days. His fate is a warning to tliosc who are in the reckless habit of riding about on freight cars.

WASHINGTON, I). Dec. 27, 1889. To the lot:tor of the Juhjtst.wrn Detivjcrat. Ex-Speaker Carlisle is just now about tlie busiest man in Washington. A few days ago he thought 'that the Republi cans of the House Committee on rules- Messrs. Reed, McKinlcy and Cannon—' would not dare report the rule to the House giving the Speaker authority to declare u quorum present whenever the necessary number of members are in ' the Hall, whether they vote or not, which rumor said they had decided upon ; but now he has learned something that makes him believe tbey will, and lie is hard at work gathering material to make the fight of his life against such an iniquitous rule. It is particularly unfortunate that Mr. Carlisle's Democratic colleague—Ex- Speaker Randall—continues too unwell to give Mr. Carlisle much assistance in the fight thut he propesesto make, first before the Committee on Rules, then before the House and lastly before the courts. Mr. Carlisle tliinas the passage of such a rule by the Republicans of the House would be as great a usurpation of power as O'i .ver Cromwell was guilty of when he clos ed the English Parliament by force, and that such a rule would be a violation of sacred rights guaranteed by the Constitu tion of the United States. It is needless to say that Mr. Carlisle will be ably sup ported by every Democrat in the House in fighting a rule that would give Speaker Reed as much power over legislation as is possessed by the Czar of Russia. This is a free country and minorities have riglsts that must be respected.' Representative Seney, of Ohio, left here Christmas day for home to take part in the Senatorial fight. Judge Seney is a candidate, but he has not a word to say against any of the other candidates, all of whom are his personal friends. The Judge says lie has no barrel to tap, but that lie is in the fielit to stay until it is ended. If the Democratic members of the United States House of Representatives had to decide the matter there would be 110 doubt of Judge Seney'* election. Pub lic opinion here still believes that Mr. Brice will win. but it is by no means as unanimous as it was -everal weeks ago, Rrightfully or wrongfully the election of Mr. Brice will give the Republican news papers nil opportunity to cry " boodle," which they will not neglect, hence many Democrats that personally favor Mr. Brice are hoping that a poor man may capture the prize. Senator Windom lias a grand opportu nity to show what he is made of when he comes to award the exclusive right of taking seals in Alaskan waters for twenty years irom May 1, 180. The advertise ment inviting proposals is now out and the proposals will be opened January 28, front portion of his residence was ten 1890. For the last twenty years this right. has been held by the Alaska Fur Company, and every member of (but organization has become a millionaire, in ways that the least said about them the better. This same com pany will expect to renew their contract, and from the time given by Secretary Windom from the date of the advertise ment to the opening of the proposals less than one month —it looks as though Mr. Windom were not averse to its doing so. Mr. Harrison is said to favor the nom ination of Mr. B!aine in 1802. If Mr. Harrison wants to side-track Mr. Blaine effctually he has only to make this fact officially known. For some reason or other the people of this country have never taken kiudiy to administration can didates of any kind, and there is no rea son in the world why an exception should be made for Mr. Blaine. It ia only as an anti-Harrison candidate that Mr. Blaine could get the nominatiou. " Whom the Gods would destroy they first matte mad." The Republican lead ers, in spite of protests from members of their own party, have determined that the House Election Committee shall re port a Federal election bill to the House. It will never becoipe a law—many Re publicans will oppose it. How the Dem crats feel about it may be understood from the following remarks made by Senator Pugli : "It will be impossible to pass such a bill. As for myself. I will remain iq ity scat night and day for weeks to prevent the Senate from passing sucb a bill, and all of the other Demo cratic Senators will do the same. This is the most vicious of all the Republican at tempts to violate the constitutional rights of the States, and it will be resisted to the last by the Democrats. WRECK ON IIIK li. ,v O. KAILKOAI).

LETTER FROM IOWA. Western Customs Compared Wltli Eastern Changeability of Western Soil. MAUSIIAI.LTOWN, IA, December 27, 1839. To the Eitttor of the Johnstown Democrat• This Western country is a place of. great possibilities. With its hundreds o f thousands of acres of ticli farming land ie looks now as if its resources in ralsiug provisions can never he impared or ex hausted. The past season, which has beeu one of the dry est ever known, has demonstrated tlie wouderftil fertility of the soil for standing tlie drought, as good crops have been, raised, notwithstanding there has been scarcely any rain since the early part of June. Tlie soil also holds a remarkable amount of moisture without 1 injury to growing crops. ! A change in the nature o the soil, bow ever, seems to be taking (dace as wheat ean scarcely be grown all. whereas fif teen and twenty years ago nearly every farmer raised thousands of bushels. High elevators standing idle in every town arc grim reminders of an industry that is past, sink in their stead are great corn bius. cattle sheds, and hog pens where the present products of the are taken to market. Shrewd farmers say, however, that the soil -is again returning to a condition such that wheat and like cereals can be* raised to advantage. " This is the home of tlie parents of Captain Anson, of tlie Chicago base ball club, and upon bis return to a visit to his parents here to-night the boys turned out to do him honor in great style. He is indeed a fine looking specimen of manhood, as he moves modestly amongst his friends and admirers. 1 The people of the West have a character istic which those in the East would do well to emulate, and that is the spirit of kindness and courtesy which is shown everywhere. This is partcub rly notice able in merchants. If you step into a store aud declare your intentiou of only buying a') pa per of pins you are treated with as much courtesy as if you were buying fifty dollars worth of goods. Amurf, the same method prevails in whatever circumstances you meet the West® erner, whether he is at home or elsewhere. Truly this is an argument in favor of hold ing the World's Fair in Chicago, as the effete nations of tlie Old World might take lessons in politeness from a purely democratic standpoint, by mingling freely with here. In the corridor of a hotel here a news boy maintains a stand for the sale of Chi cago and other daily papers. He is ab sent most of time but when anyone wants a paper he selects what he wants, puts down his money, and takes his change from the pile of nickels and dimes lying on the counter. I was very much sur prised at the method, as I saw people • from the street step in and get their pa pers in ibat way, and as no one seemed to exercise any provision over the matter I asked the propiietor whether ho was re sponsible for the care of the papers. He replied that lie was not and further that neltpei he nor any. of his employes ever pretended to note whether parties getting papers need the propci change, • and \ct when the newsboy came to * g(t his papers he Invariably found the II correct amount of money with his papers. ' Fancy this being done in Johnstown, or other eastern cities, and then you will be able t > form an idea of tiio strong differ ence in the hearing of the people. When I tell people that the bodies of many o the citizens of Johnstown yet lie- buried in the sand in and around the towu, tlicy are amazed, and expiess their horror at the idea, and say emphatically that a sufficient fund ought to be raised to re cover the bodies of all the dead. t Jonx E.
