"Let every Democrat remember," the Maocli Chnuk Democrat says, "that in 1872 the party was unable to harmonize, and was completely overwhelmed all over the country and every state voted against the party—- Pennsylvania by over a hundred thousand majority. Only two years later, in 1874, the Democrats carried the house of congress, and in two years later, in 187(1, Samuel J. Tilden was elected president by a majority of a quarter of a million hut was counted out by thieves aud perjurers constituting the Louisiana and Flori da returning hoards. All experience proves that the fire tried old Demo cratic party always comes up smiling and victorious after au overwhelming defeat." The jury in the suit brought by Constable Philips against the borough of Shenandoah to recover SI,OOO dam ages for the loss of his child by death, caused by scarlet fever, alleged to have originated from the filthy con dition of the streets, rendered a ver dict for $250 for the plaintiff. Free land, having an active and vigilant board of health, need have no fear of any suits for damages for lack of proper sanitary precautions, neverthe less, the decision against Shenandoah shows the liability of a town in such a caso, and it is necessary that the vigilance of the borough officials shall not bo relaxed, or there is no telling how soon the borough may be held accountable for the effects of any dis easo which should appear hero. "The impressive scene of fraterni zation," says an exchange, "between veterans of the blue and the gray which made the recent Grand Army encampment at Pittsburg so memor able bad its counterpart on Friday night last in tho hall of Lee Camp of Confederate Veterans at Richmond, Va., when the veterans of the Fifth teeuth Connecticut regimout wore en tertained as guests. These evidences of good-fellowship on the part of the heroes of the great struggle will touch the better natures of all men in whom tho love of country is a living senti ment; and it ought to shame into silence the loud-mouthed demagogues who are still raking the dead embers of tho war in the hope of finding a few warm coals that might serve as partisan fuel." The proposition to set apart three *IO,OOO aero tracts of mountain laud in Pennsylvania upon which trees shall be propagated and protee'ed from the ravage of firo and the ravage of men deserves the favorable consid eration of tho legislature. There are great tracts of land in the mountain ous parts of the state which have been stripped of their original forest growths. The lumber men, the char coal burners, the cutters of railway ties, the gatherers of hark for the tan neries and the improvident fanners who have cleared spaces they cannot cultivate have all had their turn of destruction. What mischief they have left undone fire has completed. As a result the springs have failed and the streams sing low. To restore the forests on these lands would be a work warranted by its sanitary ad vantage, but it would also be a source of ultimate profit to the state.— I'hila. Record. '1 ha Republican papers are respon sible for the report that President Cleveland, during the next two years, into nds to try to turn the Demo cratic party from the tarifl question, so as to make tho next presidential election bo decided upon the currency. They claim lie is satisfied that his leaning towards free trade was a mis take, that his viows were repudiated at tho polls, and in his message to ' congress next month ho will make a change of base in order to divert the public's attention from his tariff fail I ure. This is quite a nice programme they have mapped out for tho presi dent, hut until ho confirms tho report that it is true, few Democrats will believe it. Even though tho presi dent should desert his tariff princi- i pies, and prove a renegade like some ) others who were leaders, ho cannot! stop the movement for free trade, j The party is committed to the work of uprooting the protection system, and any backward steps will imli-' cate of rank cowardice.

Brady, wife of Dr. Brady, ! a prominent pliysican of Lost Creek, a suburb of Shenandoah, had a narrow escape from being roasted alive on Fri day evening, being rescued by neighbors who were attracted to the scene by her screams for help. Mrs. Brady was sit- I ing in tier parlor alone when site acci dently upset a coal oil lamp, which ex ploded, setting tire to the room. In the j excitement she upset a heavy sewing I machine which fell on her leg and frac j tured it, pinning tier to the floor. She managed to free herself and tried to reach the door, but fell exhausted in the blazing room. But for the timely assistance of the neighbors she w.ould undoubtedly have burned to death. She is badly burned about the limbs and has I a leg and arm fractured. There is some j hope of her recovery. Honors About Evenly Divided.

Washington, Nov. 19.—When ihe sen ate reconvenes on the first Monday in I next month, unless the programme i mapped out by certain senators should ; be rearranged, there will probably be a renewal of the clash on the tariff question. j Senator Harris states that he In tends to push the supplemental tariff bills for action as soon as possible after congress convenes (which proba bly means immediately after the holi day recess). This is in accord with the statements he made 011 the floor of the st nate at the time those so-called "pop | gun tariff bills were referred to the ; finance committee. The bills relating i to free iron ore, coal and barbed wire came back from the finance committee, practically as they went there, but the bill placing sugar on the free list was , pigeon-holed and a substitute was re | ported, placing a uniform duty of 10 I per cent, on all sugars, thereby doing j away with the differential one-eighth duty that operates to the advantage of the refiner, and the discriminating one tenth duty that operates against the j German exporter. Democratic senators, not among those classed as "conservatives," ex press doubts as to the desirability of attempting to pass any of the tariff bills now on the senate calendar at the | next session. One of these senators says he ap preciates the fact, that there are lead ing men in his own party who, aided ; and abetted by republicans, will use | every effort to prevent the present sugar schedule being amended and ; that to attempt it would result In nothing more than the consumption of j valuable time that would be needed in the consideration of measures upon which political lines would not be drawn and upon which tlie country is demanding action by congress. To make sugar free, in view of the letter of Secretary Carlisle, and, In view of the small receipts under the m w law so far, this senator insists, would le utterly impossible. And to seek to change the sugar schedule In any way. he thought, would bo equally unwise as it would open up anew the tariff debate and start a flood of de bate, that, once unloosened could nut he checked. As a resuit of First Assistant Post ' master General Jones' request in his annual report for legislation to prevent the boycotting of minor postofllces, the postoflice department has received a large number of letters from postmast ers who say they have suffered to a great extent by the system. The com pensation of postmasters of the fourth class is based mainly upon the cancel- latlon vf postage stamps upon matter actually mailed at the ir offices. Owing to political differences or other personal fooling, the compensation of postmast ers is sometimes seriously curtailed hy mailing letters on the cars, or sendiyg them to an adjoining postofflco, there by reducing the postmaster's salary. This is carried to a grievlous extent in some communities and is such an interference with tlie usual and regular disposition of malls that in the judg ment of First Assistant Postmaster General Jones it calls for legislation by congress. The executive committee of the Am< rican Bimetallic league have called a silver conference to be e'.d at S?t. Louis, Nov. 27, at which the present situation will be fully discussed and the policy to be hereafter pursued by the friends of the free coinage of sli ver will be decided upon. Tin: FARTIHJI AKFS IN ITALY. Wliole Villages Reported To Have Been Destroyed. Rome, Nov. 19.—Reports of disasters caused by the earthquakes in southern Italy are still meagre, but they suflice to show that there lias been great loss of life. Proeopia, a village of 1,200 inhabitants in Regglo dl Cala bria, as been obliterated. Virtually all the buildings were thrown into ruins. The number of deaths Is not known, but in one church 47 were 1 buriefl alive under fallen walls. The last authoritative report was that the list of dead was well above 60. In an other village of the same province • •ight persons were killed outright by falling buildings. The damage to property has been enormous. Troops and officials are g"iug to the help of suffering districts. King Humbert lias sent several donations from his pri vate purse. Five Killed in a "Wreck. Pittsburg, Nov. 20.—A disastrous ! railroad accident occurred at Larimer in which four or five coal miners and probably more lost their lives. The train wrecked consisted of sixteen car loads of coal. It was just pulling out from the new Larimer mines, and on board were a number of miners. As it was crossing a trestle the axle on the second car broke, the balance of the enrs piling up in a heap, which re sulted in the breaking of the trestle and the whole mass of cars and human being went down witlj. a crash into the creek below. The miners were re turning from work. The exact number cannot be learned positively. The un fortunate ones who went down in the wreckage are undoubtedly dead. Gov.-Fleet Hastings' Cabinet.

I New York, Nov. 20.—There has been ; considerable missionary work among the bank presidents regarding the sub scriptions to the bond issues. There were many informal conferences of two and three different presidents. The j result of these conferences brings to light the disinclination of the banks to distribute the loss of gold which will come from the bond subscriptions ! pro rata among the associated banks of New York, according to the per centage of each bank's holding of gold. This was the method taken in Febru ary. The banks now appear to prefer to let onch individual bank take its own course of action regarding the j surrender of its gold. The calls for gold from out-of-town correspondents are quite numerous, | and the withdrawals of gold from the I sub-treasury by New York banks are I made on orders from correspondents in the inti rior. j There was withdrawn yesterday be- I tween $1,600,000 and 02,000,000 from the sub-treasury and the amount of gold withdrawn from the sub-treasuries throughout the country with which to purchase bonds is estimated at $4,000,- CU'\ 'dm • last Thursday. The net loss of gold to the government is not so great as some gdd has been paid in during that period. The largest withdrawal was made by the Third National bank, which took $1,000,000. President Hepburn states that he has had inquiries from out-of-town customers which would call for $3,000,000 gold more than his bank holds, lit* is willing to give up $1,000,- 000 from the holdings of his hank, but was compelled to call upon the sub treasury for out-of-town demands. All of the banks report a similar demand from the country, indicating that the subscriptions for the bonds will be large outside of New York city. It has not yet been decided when the presidents of the banks shall meet in formal conference, but it will not be later than to-morrow. The subscrip tions from the foreign houses will not be so largo as expected, as they are having difficulties in securing the gold. The exchange rates make it Impossible to secure gold on the other side with out loss, and the banks have not shown any disposition to give any large amounts of gold to the foreign houses. They wish to keep the bonds in this country and consequently do not en courage the international houses to make large bids. They argue that if the foreigners held the bonds they might thrust them back upon the United States ar any momeht on ac count of some unfavorable develop ments abroad and force down the mar ket price by a sudden liquidation. The bankers feel more confident that the value of the bonds will remain more secure if in the hand's of domestic in vestors. The foreign houses are de sirous, however, of placing large blocks abroad and their bids will be only lim it- d by the amount of gold they can Bee u re. Washington, Nov. 20.—The treasury stated balance is $101,102,000, of which $61,832,000 is in gold. This statement of the gold does riot take in $2,075,000 >.•( gold withdrawn tit New York, which will not begin to show in the treasury books until to-day. So far slightly over $3,000,000 in gold has been wlth -1 drawn at New York since Nov. 13, and SIOO,OOO at other points. Otherwise, ex -1 cept for gold withdrawn to bid for bonds, the treasury has been gaining gold since Nov. 13, as It did before, : from mintage and In the western sub treasurles.
