A Word About lioHsisin*
From the Philadelphia Record.
Hossism is a curse. Using govern
ment as a blind for private plunder;
sapping its very life by subtle appeals
to patriotism; turning the thinkin"
citizen into a piece of automatic
machinery, and thus striking at the
very root of free institutions—these are
the methods of the political Ross, and
they inevitably tend to the moral and
physical degradation of the body politic.
Rut there are some things worse even
than Rossism. Cowardice is worse; the
decay of manliness is worse; and it is
worse than Rossism—yea, worse than a
thousand bosses —when a great people
give themselves up mind, heart and soul
to a band of rascals, traitors, hypocrites,
political assassins and social midnight
thieves—men who put behind them ail
sense of honor; who hover like vultures
over the Held of political carrion; who
forget every Obligation of friendship,
kinship, country or conscience; who
scout at the idea that "righteousness
exaltcth a nation," and who hy their
thoughts and acts remind their country
men of tho Russian proverb: "Christ
Himself would have stolen If His hands
had not boon nailed to the cross."
Enormous high rates exacted by the
eleven great coal carrying and mining
corporations on the transportation of
anthracite from the mines to tidewater
markets is the chief cause of the long
prevailing unsatisfactory condition of
tiie coal trade. In previous discussions
of this subject we have shown that the
existing rates of $1.70 per ton to
Hoboken, N. J., and SI.BO per ton to
RulTalo, N. Y., enables tho railroads
that are associated in the "anthracite
trust" to realize a net profit of about $1
per ton on tho total shipments, it is
this exorbitant tariff which greatly
diminishes the sale and consumption of
anthracite and keeps production far in
excess of the demand in all markets
j east, west, north and south. For many
years rates of transportation have been
[ out of all proportion to the actual cost
!of mining and preparing coal.— Wilkes-

There is a great deal heard at times
about the dignity of this great common
wealth and til.- respect that is due the
chief executive. Ail that can be said on
the subject is undoubtedly true and
good, but why cannot the governor of a
state like Pennsylvania respect the officii
and the honor intrusted to him? Today
Daniel H. Hastings is rushing around
dickering with every Tom, Dick and
Harry, who can control a dozen Republi
can votes, and for what purpose? To
secure delegates enough to elect him
state chairman of his party. The man
who will sacrifice the dignity of that
high position and barter appointments
! for delegates, that he may lead a faction,
lis unworthy of the respect of all good
j citizens.
The cheerful news of advancing wages
continues all along the line. The daily
newspapers' columns are filled with tin- ;
joyful tidings of coining prosperity, but
few of the rabid Republican organs can i
spare space for facts of that characti r. 1
Their managers would rather that the
country bo involved in hopeless bank
ruptcy than to see it prosper under a
Democratic administration. Americans
can he thankful that the prejudiced
partisans who run party sheets do not
control the business affairs of the nation.
It is strange that Luzerne must call
upon Lackawanna and Monroe counties
for help to carry on its court business.

Ex-Congressman Tracey as a
Papal Zouave.
A MOMENT OF OEEAT SUSPENSE.
Experience of One of President Cleveland's
Intimate Friends—Fighting to Maintain
the Temporal Power of the Pope—Glad
to Leave the Service.
fCopyright, 1895.1
Ex-Congressman Charles Tracey, from
the Albany district of Now York, long
known as one of President Cleveland's in
timate friends, has consented to tell the
story of his service as a member of the Pa
pal zouavos in Italy.
"In 1870," said Mr. Tracey recently,
"the Italian government determined to
take possession of Rome. 1 was then at
homo in New York, but left for Rome in
August and arrived at Civita Vecchia, the
port of RonYb, the very day it was taken by
the Italian forces. There I met Koycs
O'Cloary, who had been with me in the
zouaves; a Mr. Kenyon, another gentle
man who desired to enter the papal army,
and young Henians, a son of Mrs. Hemans,
the poetess. O'Cleary had passed through
Paris on his way to Rome, and the papal
nuncio there had given him a packet of
letters and papers for Frenchmen in the
zouaves. These ho had brought in a satch
el. That night, after everybody in the
hotel had gone to sleep, he and I got up
and went through the packet, bifhiing all
the papers and making the letters up into
a smaller parcel, which we put back into
the satchel. Next day we four—O'Cleary,
Kenyon, Hemans and myself—took a car
riage and followed tho Italian army toward
Rome. Wo were stopped by General Rixio
of the Italian forces and informed that no
one would bo allowed to enter Rome until
the city had capitulated. This did not suit
us at all. Wo woro eager to Join tho zouaves
in order to take part in tho defense of tho
Holy City and determined to try to get
through tho Italian linos.
"Driving back out of sight of tho sol
diery, wo loft our carriago, got into a ra
vine, stolo along past tho nearest sentries
and then started on a dead run for Romo,
13 miles away. O'Cleary was carrying his
satchel, and after we had gone somo dis
tance ho said ho was tired and passed it
over to Hemans. As wo jogged along,
liomans in front, O'Cloary touched mo on
EX-CONGRESBMAN CHARLES TRACEY.
tho ami, and with a significant wink and
gesture toward the satchel whispered: 'lt
takes an Irishman to make himself as safe
as possible under all circumstances. If we
are caught, it will be Hcmnns they will
hang and not me!' But we were not
caught. We passed safely through tho
Italian lines, and on explaining to the out
posts of tho papal troops who we were and
what our mission was we were allowed to
enter the city. Here we separated from
Hcmnns, who was correspondent for some
London papers, and who wished to remain
outside the city In order to observe tho ex
pected engagement. The throe of us went
at once to the headquarters of the colonel
of the zouaves and enlisted for two years.
The next morning the city was bombarded
and two days later was surrendered to the
Italian army.
"The zouaves were sent to Civita Voo
cliia and kept in prison for several days.
The terms of surrender included the right
of the foreigners in the army to return to
their homes. There were 2,500 of the
zouaves in Home. Our company was com
posed of about one-half gent lemon and one
half servants who did our work and at
tended to our wants for pay. Whenever
we heard of a fine gentleman recruit we al
ways sent him an invitation to join our
company, and in this way many of the
first families of Europe and America were
represented in our ranks.
"One day, while we were in tho prison
at Civita Vccchia, Captain D'Arcy, my
commander, came up with some of the
officers of the prison and said, 'Conic and
go out with us.'
"Wo did so, and after strolling nbout for
awhile the party turned back toward tho
prison. They thought I was following
them, hut I gave them the slip and made
a dasii for a small boat not far away and
succeeded in reaching a French frigate ly
ing in tho harbor. It turned out that I
had taken this risk unnecessarily, for the
next day permission came for D'Arcy,
O'Cleary and myself to leave Italy, and we
took passage for Genoa in an Italian war
ship.
"While wo were lying in tho harbor of
Genoa and waiting for arrangements to be
made to send us ashore there occurred a
very interesting incident. Though wo
were first, class passengers, there were a
number of the poor zouaves down in tho
hold. It was dreadfully hot there, and
they had no water and wore suffering so
much that D'Arcy made bold to let cans
of water down to them through the hatch
ways. The Italian marines did not like
this and gave us some fierce looks. Grow
ing out of this affair an argument occurred
at dinner between the captain of the
guards, a pretty decent sort of fellow, and
D'Arcy. The latter said tho captain was
not a good Catholic because he had boon
fighting against the pope. The captain
maintained that lie was a good Catholic,
but that, it was his duty to uphold his gov
ernment and obey military orders. Tho
argument was good natured enough, but
the stewards who had ovorhoard it reported
the conversation to the guards, and next
day, while the captain of tho guards was
on shore, leaving a sergeant in charge, tho
guards got hold of some liquor and becamo
tipsy and ugly. I overheard them uttering
threats against D'Arcy.
"Presently one of the tipsy guards came
to me demanding to know whore iny cap
tain was, and I told him he was on deck.
As quickly as I could I hunted up D'Arcy
and O'Cleary and told them that the
guards meant mischief and urged upon
them the necessity of keeping cool and
quiet under all circumstances. D'Arcy re
plied that ho thought ho could ko©p hi*
temper, but just the sanio he wont down
to his cabin, took a revolver out of his
satchel mid kept it in his hand in tho outer
pooket of a sack coat which ho was wear
ing at the tinio. Wo were walking up and
down the deck when a party of the guards
came up and inarched us before the drunk
en sergeant, surrounded by his men. The
sergeant ordered D'Arcy to stand up be
fore him, and then the potty tyrant and
his officers commenced abusing us. Just
as things were getting squally I saw a boat
with some zouaves coining toward us from
the shore, and I shouted to tliom to go
hack for the captain of the guards liccause
his men were threatening D'Arcy with
bodily injury.
"All this time the sergeant was doing
his best to tantalize D'Arcy into some sort
of retaliation. Ho called us all the vilo
names ho could think of and said if ho
had the pope there ho would dip him in
the sea heels uppermost. Through all this
tirade of insult D'Arcy stood erect, cool
and calm, with a cigar in his mouth and
his right hand on his twisty revolver in his
coat pocket. It was a moment of terrible
suspenso for mo. I knew D'Arcy like a
brother. Ho was a man of fiery tempera
ment, as bravo as a lion and in fact did
not know what fear was. He was a great
lover of the pope, and when the miserable
sergeant uttered his insults against the
pontiff I thought D'Arcy would lose con
trol of himself and use his revolver. At
this moment I caught his eye and put my
lingers to my lips as a signal of encourage
ment to him to keep himself well in hand.
It was one of the finest examples of self
control under difficult circumstances that
I have ever seen. Apparently ho was as
composed and thoroughly self possessed as
if standing in a drawing room. Finally ho
asked if ho might light his cigar, and the
sergeant roughly told him 'No.'
"Meanwhile the sergeant and his guards
continued drinking and getting tipsier and
tipsier. At length the sergeant turned to
the others and said, 'l've a mind to shoot
the dogs.' This suggestion was greeted
with drunken cheers, and things began to
look pretty serious for us. 'Load your
guns, boys,' commanded the sergeant. The
men loaded their carbines with savage glee,
meanwhile making coarso jokes about our
spoedy departure into tho next world. The
sergeant lined his men up facing us and
then turnod and said to them:
" 'Now then, Ixiys, when I say "Flrol"
you Are. I'm in charge bore, and I guess
I can do what 1 like with these beggars.'
"I don't think I will ever forget that
moment," continued General Tracey.
"The scene is as vividly before my eyes at
this moment as it was at that time. The
men wore simply waiting for tho word to
Are, and considering tho desperate charac
ter and drunken condition of tho sergeant
wo all oxpretcd that word to bo uttered at
any moment. I would not have given 60
centimes for my life.
"Just then, as luck would have it, the
boat which I had hailed and told to go
back for the captain of tho guards camo
ulongsido. Tho swish of tho oars in tho
water was music in our ears, I can tell
you. In a second more tho captain's head
appeared above the rail, and 1 was never
before or since so glad to 800 a living man.
My heart had for some minutes been up iu
my throat, hut when the captain jumped
on deck with his sword drawn and his eyes
Hashing fire that organ of mino dropped
back into its accustomed place. To this
day I occasionally wake up in tho night
imagining that I have seen in my droums
tho ugly features and wicked eyes of that
drunken sergeant and his tipsy comrades.
Well, the captain soou put a stop to tho
high handed proceedings of his men. Ho
placed the sergeant under arrest, roundly
scolded the privates aud apologized to us.
Ho then said, 'Now you shall go ashoro
and have no further trouble with these fel
lows. ' The gallant fellow embarked in the
boat with us himself for fear tho soldiers
might shoot at us if we went alone.
"Just as we were embarking in the boat
I noticed one of the stewards who had re
ported D'Arcy's conversation to tho guards
reach in a closet on dock for liis hat,
though I paid no particular attontion to
tho incident at the time. When wo got
ashore, they kept us talking in the custom
house for a little while until tho captain of
tho guards could explain where wo camo
from and whither we were going. A car
riage was then called to take us to the rail
way station, and I was just getting into
the vehicle when I heard a scuffle behind
us. Turning quickly, I saw that steward
with a long dirk knifo in his hand aud his
arm raised to strlko at D'Arcy's hack. At
that instant one of the custom house offi
cials grasped tho villain by tho throat and
threw him to the sidewalk. We jumped
into the carriage as quickly as possible and
drove to the station. In ten minutes we
were aboard tho train and on our way to
Switzerland, aud I confess that I was
heartily glad to get out of Italy with a
whole skin." WALTER WKLLMAN.
The Earliest Cuckoo Song.
The very earliest cuckoo song dates back
to tho roign of Henry 111 (1210-72), aud it
is worthy of note that the music to which
it was sung has also been preserved along
with it. The words and thought are far
more pleasing and poetic than t hose of the
crude but much lauded "Ode to tho
Cuckoo" of Logan or Bruce, whichever of
tliem wrote it, even In their modernized
form, as they are given In Harting's "Or
nithology of Shakespeare.''
Summer is come in,
Loud sing, cuckoo!
Tliu soi-d groweth and the mead blowoth,
And tho wood shoots now;
Sing, cuckoo!
Tho owo bleats after the lamb,
The cow lows after the calf,
The bullock starts, tho buck verts—
Merrily Hing, cuckoo,
Well singost thou, cuckoo!
May est thou never cease I
—Gentleman's Magazine.
A Financial Curiosity.
In tho window of a drug store on Mar
ket street is a financial curiosity. It is a
check for 1 cent that was issued in March,
1874. On that date it was discovered in
tho Boston custom house that "J. S. Poo"
hod paid 1 cent more duty on goods ro
coived by him from England than tho tar
iff justified. Although no demand was
made for tho overcharge the surplus had
to l>o returned before the auditor would
sign the balance sheet. So a chock for 1
cent wfts made out and the asslstaut treas
urer of tho custom house was ordered to
pay that amount to Mr. Poo. Tho chock
cost twice its value to mail, but it was
never presented for honoring and has lieen
preserved as a curiosity.—*nn Francisco
Examiner.
