The Democrat. FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1890. AND now it's time for some one to com plain because it is too cold. Gov. BEAVER has issued itis writ for the election of a Congressman to succeed Judge Kelly from Philadelphia. ELECTIONS no longer elect, in Congress ional districts, until Boss Quay has decid ed how largea Republican majority is desirable in the lower house. PORTUGAL should cool off in its indig nation against the English. The little kingdom can better afford to lose Africa than to drink its own port wine. IT is quite probable that if the proposed revision of the Presbyterian creed is made, there will bq dissentions in that body, resulting eveniully in a division of the church. EX-PRESIDENT CLEVELAND denies that he hits requested Congressman Mills to write a magazine article on the subject of the tariff, hut says lie would be glad if Mr. Mills would do so. THERE are in the Senate seventeen mem bers who possess in the aggregate SBO,- 000,000. It is not si range that the inter ests of wealth and privilege should be so jealously guarded in that august body. THE vote on the revision of the West minister Confession of Faith at present stands thirty-five Presbyteries 'or and twelve against, of which latter eight are in Pennsylvania. As there are 211 Pres hyteVies in the country, 105 are yet to be heard from. THE House of Representatives will adopt no rules till the Republicans have put through all their high-handed meas ures. Rules could not be bent or twisted to meet all the exigencies so as to allow the grand old party to accomplish all its purposes. IT looks a- if Ireland is not going to have a monopoly in evictions. Pennsyl vania is coming to the frout in this re spect, and Pinkerton detectives now discharge duties which heretofore were the special prerogatives of the Royal Irish constabulary. IT is understood that there is a disposi tion to consider the contested election cases in the House of Repicscntatives without rules so that they may he pushed through as rapidly as possible, and when sufficient number of Democrats have been unseated ami the Republican major ity has been strengthened thev will not be so much afraid to have the rules adopted, as they feel then they will be strong enough to do what tiiey want SOMEBODY should stir up Governor Beaver. By the terms of the contract the demolition of the old rickety jail at Som erset wi'l begin on April Ist. The county will have to hang the Ntce'ys in the mean time or take them elsewhere. By the terms of the sentence many Somerset county people believe they cannot be le gally hanged elsewhere than in the old jail. The proper thing for the governor to do is to either pardon the offenders or order their execution. Perhaps the gov ernor understands the east sufficiently to let the boys out on a technicality. Acconmxo to the Hurrislmrg Patriot, Christopher L. Magce, of Pittsburgh, will not support Senator George W. Dclama er, of Crawford county, for the Republi can nomination for Governor. Let him speak for himself; " Delamntcr may get the nomination, but if lie does it will cost the Republicans a good many votes. There was less cause for kicking in 1882, when Pattison was elected over Beaver, and I do not believe Mr. Delamater eun be elected Governor of Pennsylvania this year." The gentlemen from Crawford has the floor. THE Philadelphia Preet invites an issue by putting out the following: What su perlative bigotry and malice it is for the New York World to speak of Col. W. W. Dudley as " a brazen criminal! " If The World seriously believed that Col. Dud ley was a criminal it would go to work and prosecute him Such an undertaking in the interest of public justice would he in full accord witli the splendidly enter prising policy of the World, if that jour nal had a case against Dudley it would stop pumping wind and go to sawing wood. To this the World replies: Well, Mr. Dudley has a case against the World which iic doesn't seem to lie push ing very hard. Why doesn't he begin his wood-sawing? CONCERNING the subserviency of the.Re pubican parly, or rather the less dis tinguished leaders of that party, to Matthew S. Quay, he of Pardon Board fame, the Pittsburgh Poet takes occasion to say : " Senator Quay is receiving dele gations of his henchmen from different parts of the State, who, in their turn, aie receiving final orders from the boss, prior to ids departure on a fishing trip to Flor ida. This subserviency is made matter of boast and congratulation in the Repub lican papers. If Senator Quay should cease to exist—as all good men must— Pennsylvania would fly from its orbit in the Federal Union, become a wandering and desolated planet, and the Republican paTtyof the State widowed and orphaned. Detd gently with his chestnut locks, ye breezes of Florida, and speedily restore liim, renewed and rejuvenated, to the pa triots on the anxious bench, ELKXANDER T. STEWART left 1111 estate estimated all the way from $20,000,000 to $40,000,000. At the t-nd of a dozen years his widow, to whom he left nearly all of it, was in debt to the executor in the sum of $200,000, and the estate has shrunk to $12,000,000. Jim Fisk left to his widow $3,500,000. The estate was cateu up by sharks of various kinds, and Mrs. Fisk, who is now a poor women, is living on a small farm in New England. TUB sorry figure ex-Oovernor Foraker cut before the Committee of Cengress in vestigating the ballot box forgeries makes it apparent that the Hon. Benson Foraker's political goose is cooked to a crisp brown. The evidence elicited shows that while he was anxious to he smirch the character of his competitor for office Mr. Campbell that object but slightly overshadowed his desire to de stroy the reputation of his party associates Messrs. McKinley, Grosveuor, Butter worth and Sherman. THE one absolute cure for the evil of millionarism in po'itics is intelligence and independence among citizens who do not sympathize with it. Kich men and com binations of Selfish interests can control nominations and elections only so long as by one means or another they can com mand the support of tae majority of a party and through that of a majority of the people at the polls. Men protest against nominations in the interest of the money power, and permit them to be made nnd support them after they are made. They protest against the election of representatives of capital and of vested interests to Legislatures and to Congress, but submit to toe influences employed to secure such election and help to bring it about with their votes. If tm organiza tion is formed among workingmen for the avowed purpose of fighting against such results, ten to one it will be sold out to the very power it is formed to contend against or go to pieces under the veiy in lluenees which it is professing to resist. HENRY A. PHILLIPS, a chief of divis ' ion in the Pension Office, has been dis charged because be bad his pension revat , ed while an employe of the office. Mr. Phillips protested that this was not so; that the rerating was done a month be fore his appointment, but Secretary No , hie replied through Commissioner Haunt that this didn't make any difference be cause Phillips was expecting to be ap pointed. When the wolf proposed eat ing the lamb for disturbing the stream the wolf was drinking from, the lamb protested that he was below the wolf and couldn't have disturbed him, but the wolf decided to dine on lamb and this explanation made 110 difference. But we believe Secretary Noble has not dis charged his friend, Iliram Smith, dop -1 uty commissioner, who had his pension rcratcd while he was iii office, and who is even reported to have signed his own pension certificate. If the clerks w— re unlikely to rigidly scrutinize each others claims for rerating they would be still less likely to scrutinize the claim of a man in so powerful a position as that of deputy commissioner and next friend to the Secaetary. There never was a more grotesque and unjust exer cise of power in a department at Wash ington than the discbarge of two chiefs of division for having their pensions rt rated, in one case before the beneficiary entered the office, and retaining the dep uty commissioner who got $0,08(1 by a rerating made while l.c was acting as the head of the office. We suspect that Mr. Phillips is right and that he has been discharged because he is Corporal Tan ner's friend. The Democrats go; the friends of Tanner go even if the charges against tbemare not true; but the friends of Noble do not go; no matter what they do. The Interior Department is the pi r soual property of John W. Noble. DEMOCRATIC SOCIETIES. On Wednesday morning the Executive Committoc and tbe Finance Committee of the Democratic league of clubs, of Penn sylvania, held a joint meeting at Harris burgh, at which ex-Governor Black pre sided. Ex-Postmaster Harrity, of Phila delphia, was chosen temporary chairman of the Finance Committee which will meet in Philadelphia within the next ten days. The Executive Committee will meet in the city of Heading the latter part of March. Major John D. Worman, Secretory of the league, left for his home in Philadelphia Thursdoy. Yester day he sent circulars to all the clubs throughout the State urging a general poll of voti s The Johnstown club, or society, which meets again 011 the 30th inst. to adopt a constition and by-laws, will, when thor oughly organized be a part of the State ' organization. These societies will bo an 1 important factor in shaping opinion on important question and in securing unity | of party action. It will also give a good opportunity far educational work 011 party measures and principles. Court Notice.

The Milicreek Water Main Hursts Yester day Morning and Floods a l*art of the Seventh Ward. At about half-past 2 o'clock on Friday morning a break occurred at Moxhatr. in the large twenty-inch main water pipe, leading fiom the Milicreek reservoir to tlie city. There was a piece about eigh teen inches square broken out of the side of the pipe, and the whole neighborhood was flooded in a short time and a good deal of excitement prevailed until tiie cause of the unusual flow of water was ascertained. The whole works at Mux ham were partly flooded before the main was shut off, afier which the water soon subsided. About 4 o'clock word was telephoned to town and Mr. John Williams, son of James Williams, Superintendent of the Water Works, went out and the water was shut off at about 5 o'clock. It dots not iotorfero with any of the works except the John on Foundry Com pany's foundry, which is supplied from the Milicreek. The other portions of the place will he supplied from the St. Clair reset voir. There is considerable differ et co in the pressure of the water all over the city in consequence. The damage is expected to he repaired by this evening. MARRIAGE LICENSES. The Following ll:ivo lleen Grantfil Since Our Last Report. i John G.

More than one par ent's heart swelled so as to seemingly over-fill its narrow chamber yesterday evening, when the little ones made the air ring with their hnppv voices.

Marshall lost a valuable ' horse, on Thursday at, Cover's stable, I from lung trouble. Additional value was ! added to the horse from the fact that it I carried Mr. Marshall successfully out of the flood. The horse was brjught from Kentucky, about three years ugo, by Charles Zimmerman for Mr. D. W. Ilersli berger, and was afterward owned by John W. Weakland, Esq., the partner of Mr. I Marshall before '.he flood, who was | drowned.. I FINEL) FOR ABUSING A STRANGER. I*. H. Mil It/.i Pays 810 and Cost* for Assault., irig a Man iu Coiietimii£h Borough. Mr. Phillip Cuppet, residing about thirty miles from here, drove a cow to this place to sell. He stepped into Con emaugh borough and in his search for a customer came across Mr. P. 11. Maltzi. Mr. Cuppet asked SBO for I lie animal, and told Meltzi lie would give him $1.60-if he would secure him a customer. Maltzi offered him S2B for the bovine, which Cuppet finally agreed to take, hut Maltzi failed to make the sale. Finally they to gether negotiated a sale at $34, and Maltzi's commission as agreed by Cuppet was $3.75. The party who purchased the cow paid all but $4. which she agreed to hand over to Maltzi. Maltzi wanted Cuppet to pay him at once and grasped him by the neck to force the money from him, and in the scuffle threw him down. About this time one of the policemen put iu an appearnnce and arrested both par ties. Burgess Freidhoff being on the sick list, the parties were taken before Justice Ilart. Mr. (puppet then made an information iigiin.it Maltzi for assault,and he was fined $lO and cost*, and in default of payment was committed to tin- lock up. We elaborate on this case because it has been the hul it of certain persons in that neighborhood to make purchases from per sons from distance, and when tlu y demand payinei.t aie assaulted,and :ns.-ve:al cases have beeu very severely dealt with. It is hoped that a few examples like the above will convince certain parties that it is a dangerous business to treat people from a distance who desire to do business here in such an outrageous and unlawful man ner. Mucifii of the *>outh The special personally conducted Penn sylvania Railroad Florida Tours have formed the theme for so many conversa tions with those who have, through their medium, visited the South's mecca, as will as others now contemplating llic trip, that their familiarity with the trav eling public simply makes it necessary for the company to announce the date of each departure to insure the "special" limit, one hundred and fifty persons. The luxury of traveling in a train com posed of Pullman Vestibule Sleeping, Drawing, and Dining Cars, witli the watchful and constant attention of the ac companying Tourist Agent and Chaperon, meals en route in both directions free, from a cumiie renowned, and the privi lege of a two weeks' sojourn south in cluded in the SOO price ot tickets from New York and .>lB from Philadelphia, needs no comment, so liberally does it appeal to lovits of comfort and luxurious travel.

The little town ot Walker's Mills, on the Panhandle road, has a freak of nature within its limits which rivals the "two headed baby" in its oddity. Fifteen months ago a hoy baby was born to James and Julia O'Connell, of that place, minus its arms and legs, hut otherwise perfectly developed and healthly. Departing from the usual custom of such monstrosities, the little fellow lived and developed into a strong, hearty hoy. Foot Torn l>y a Cross-cut Saw. Mrs. Nimli It.

WASHINGTON, January 24.—Senator Sherman, who has been confined to his home for some time, suffering from in flueuza, was ut tho Capitol to-day, quite recovered. W %.NH INGTON I.KTTH,,'.. WASHINGTON. I>. ('. Jan., 25, 1890. luau Mtlitnr of the Johnstown Democrat. Speaker Reed is every day showing how unfit be is to occupy his present po sition, and the Republican members of the House are daily whipped into support ing hint in bis unparliamentary decisions. Tle Ilonse Committee on Rules met yesterday and the Republican members of the Committee, against the protest of ex-Speaker Carlisle, decided on a schedule of Rules, to be repoited. Mr. Curlis'e will make a strong minority report, and will light the adoption of Rules by the House iu every wey possible, but of course if the Speaker persists in deciding everything according to liis own sweet will the Democrats stand littie show i f defeating tliem, unless some of the con servative Republicans shall display co-r --age enough to vote against their parly. Many of them are known to be opposed to the proposed Rules but whether they have nerve enough to vote as they think, is a quest,ioD. The House has passed the Oklahoma town site bill, after nearly a week spent iu debating it in the Committee of the whole. Senator Ingalls delivered a character istic harangue in the Senate jesierday afternoon, alleged to lie a reply to Sena tor Bullet's speech In favor of his negro emigration bill. This Senatorial spit-fire does not mellow with age, bill grows more wicked with less temptation. The worst of it is that he cannot be left to slew in his own juice, because he is nothing but skin and bones ami vcius filled with nitro muriatic acid. 'the indications now nre that the special House Committee on the World's Fair will soon rind itself in an interminable dead-lock. The Senate Committee does not appear to be getting along much faster. Everybody professes to want to see the matter settled at once, but the prospect of an early settlement is not good. As was expeeieil the House committee on Elections has, by a strictly parly vote, reported in favor of unseating Jack-on, the Democratic sitting member from West Virginia, and giving the seat to Smith, the contesting Republican. This is the first ot tiie seventeen contested election cases, aud it would not be at all surpris ing if the Republicans of the committee reported in favor of every Republican contes'aut, except Liu.gstoa, the negio contestant from the Fourth Virginia dis trict (.Mahout's home). It is understood that Mahone has secured promises enough to beat Langston.
