The Tariff Question Settled.

The result of the election in Pennsylra<
mia, (says the Lancaster Intelligencer) has
settled the question of the Tariff, which
was made by the wings the leading issue
in the last campaign, The Democrats
were desirous of keeping that question out
of the canvass-but our opponants would
not permit II, and insisted that the Gestruc-
ton or permanency of the Tariff of 1s46
depended on the election of Henry NJ.
Fuller, or John A. Gamble. The wings
m ade this the great question of the cam
paigu, and as Mr.. Gamble is elected by an
Overwhelming majority, of course the peo-
pie have expressed their satisfaction with
the tariff as it is, and do not desire It's des.
truction, or even any essential modification
of its details. Is our neighbor of the ET-
anainer satisfied with the decision of the
sovereigns!
On this subject that spirited paper, the
Guernsey (Ohio) Jeffersonian remarks
The wings of Pennsylvania made the re-
peal of the Tariff of 1916 prominent is
sue during the iate campaign in that State.
The Democracy met the issue boldly,
and the people have rendered a virdict
through the ballot-box, against the repeal
of the existing Democr attic Tariff. Penn.
sylvania is right side up on the Tariff
question.
The Washington correspondent of the
/ Baltimore Sun, Ion, in his letter of the Is,
says: There is some talk about revision
of the tariff system at the coming session.
A great effort is to be made by the iron
and sugar interests, but they will effect
nothing al present.
We congratulate the people of the Uni.
ted States, and especially the citizens Of
Pennsylvania, that the tariff question has
been settled by the decision at the ballot
box. The political complexion of the
next Congress is onother guarantee thai
the opportunities of the Federal and Con.
servative monopolists will not be Needed.
The country can now enjoy quiet.

- All the speculations and comments
OF the press both in England and America
relative to war between Russia and
Turkey, turn out TO be entirely gratuitous,
and this profile theme for "ledders" can no
longer be used. By the late intelligence
from Europe we learn that the Emperor
of Russia fearful of the consequences, is
disposed to pocket the afiiront of Turkey,
and thus all the alarms about general
European war have ended i'll smoke.

Horrible Outrage.

An outrage Of the most fagitious charac-
ter, was committed on the person Of little
girl of eleven years of age, the daughter of
Mr.. George Nagle, residing near the Sum-
nit, by man named Meloy, on Saturday
last. The little girl was passing through
the woods on the way from her fathers
house to school, when she was met by
this fend in human dress, who dragged
her off the road a short distance, where
me horrible outrage was committed. As
soon as the fact became known a warrant

Two individuals, by the names OF Gra-
ham and Brown have been arrested and
lodged in our County Jail for passing
counterfeit money. They were arrested
IN Pittsburg by Constable Hague, on in
formation of Patrick Regan, and brought
to this place on Thursday last. Several
counterfeit notes on the Harrisburg Bank
and the State Bank of Ohio were found on
the person of one of them. As their case

next Court, we iorbear max ing any com
ments relative to their guilt or innocence.
Separate and apart from their case, howev.
er, we may be permitted to remark that il
Is the very general opinion that a regularly
organized band of men are engaged in the
business of manufacturing and passing
counterfeit money. Their agents are dis,
tributed throughout the State, who have
managed to put large amount of then
spurious money into circulation. Il is tho
opinion of Constable Hague that the plate.

concealed either in Blair or Huntington
county, aud efforts are being made TO fer
ret them out.

The Three DespOts.

1t is an old saying when rogues fall out
honest men come to their rights The
Muscovite the Austrian and the Ottoman
have done what they could TO keep man
kind out of their rights, and the general
impression seems to be that falling out
out among them might afford profitable
veri6cation of the old proverb. There
would be sympathy for Turkey was the
Gar to attack her in the present conjunc-
ture, because so far as right and wrong are
concerned in the special case, the Car
would be the aggressor For the Turk,
as Turk, we have little sympathy. All
that is not slave in him is tyrant. Much
superfuous laudation has been bestowed
upon the Porte for the stand it has taken
in refusing TO give up the exiles of Wild
den. 1t is a noble, humane, chivilrous
act, as journalists inform us. Let the
Mussulman have his due when he does a
noble deed; but there is nothing to induce
us to think that there was any talk of phi
lanthropy in the divan when it was deci-
ded to say mo- to the Car. The Turks
certainly care nothing for Kossuth, MOI
would they lift finger to save him from
the scaffold, were it not that the matter
touches their political rights and their ma.
tlonal dignity. They have thrown their
shield over the fugitive-not for the reason
that they sympathise with his cause, bu
to repel the encroachment of a hated rival
The Sultan has heretofore made the same
demands of Austria and Russia which
those powers are now making of him.

Russia at the time of Greek insurection.-
In recent instance of a rebellion in tht
Turkish province of Serbia, the Hospoda
of that country, Prince Michael Obrenovicl
fed into the Austrian territory. Th'
Porte in vain demanded of Metternich'
government either his extradition or dis

sent insurrection in Bosnia, having former

Correspondence oil the N. Y. Tribune,
The Nicaragua Dispute.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25, 1S1

w ASHINGTON, ocl. %, 1919.
You are aware that Mr.. Rives, after he
left this country, proceeded at once to
England, instead of going to Paris and
first presenting his credentials. The OBJ
iect of this was to hold free and full con-
versation, under instructions from this
Government, with Lord Palmerston upon
the subject of the claims set up by Great
Britain to the exclusive navigation of the
San Juan River, &c. The result of that
interview has been communicated to this
Government, and | have reason to believe
that it is of a nature as to leave little or no
reasonable doubt of such an adjustment OF
the matter as will throw the Nicaragua
route, open to all nations upon the same
terms and footing. All real or imaginary
apprehensions, therefore, as to serious
difficulty arising between the United States
and England in the final adjustment oi
this question, can at once be djssipated.

MESMERIC ANNOUNCEMENT.-S John
Franklin has been seen by a. cIalrvoyant
of Bolton, England. This discovery was
issued several days before the vessel ar
rived which brought the news which we
have already given our readers OF that
unfortunate navigator. The clairvoyant
was uninstructed, and unable to read and
write, but when asked to point to the
place on the map where she had seen
Sir John, she put her finger on the north
west side of Hudson's Bay. She says il
is Sir Johns expectation to be in Engla
in nine and half months. There are
three companies with him. Some OF his
men are frozen in the snow, and parties
of them are following on. She visited
Sir John Ross ships, and says they are
frozen into the ice, and that he can't turr
his ship round. When asked to show
where he was on the map, she pointed t'
Banke's Land. She expressed great as
ltonishment that clio oks varied so much be
tween the points occupied by the tw'
navigators, and said that a watchmake
should be sent to repair them. She des
cribed the person of Sir John Franklin
and mentioned respectfully that he wa
! bald. The account Of this mes meric an
nouncement is authentic, and occurring
before the arrival of the vessel whic
brought the news, and occasioned mucI
speculation, and has lost none OF It's inter
est since it has IN measure been ver!tled

The Paeifie Railroad.

The editor Of the Chicago Tribune, who
was at the ST. Louis Convention, has the
following remarks, among others, upon
letters addressed to the convention.
M. Fan Baren' notwithstanding
the convention postponed the reading of all
letters, when Mr.. Van Buren's was called
for, the ''outside pressure, was too great
to resist, and the reading Of it, in connec-
tion with one or two others was ordered.
Ms. Clay SIS decidedly non-commit-
tai, and not much longer than the Cass
letter TO the Chicago Convention. He says
GAS to the project itself, the means of It's
execution and the termini Of the road, |
stand perfectly uncommtted."
Gen. Cass-Is somewhat longer thai
his Chicago letter, and not so long as the
the one he wrote to Nicholson. He has
avoided the extremes that characterized
those productions. After freely endorsing
the objects of the convention, he SAYS he
hopes its action "will insure the speedy
completion of the work as soon as circun.-
stances aciU permit"
Mr.. Calhoma's-Is very satisfactory.
He advocates the measure in short letter
and in conclusion says" regard the work
to be one OF too great magnitude and i'm
portance to be influenced by local or pri-
vate considerations Further that .sthe
work should look TO the whole union, and
the general commerce Of both the Atlantic
and the Pacific oceans.''
Coz. Seaoard'S-Fully endorses the
scheme. L quote one paragraph: "When
we look upon the full tide of European i'm
migration beating upon our eastern shores,
and consider the volume that is about TO
break upon the Pacific coast, the ultimate
at'aits Of the races Of men reveals Itself to
US, and aoe are irresistobIy impressed
,cith the conUiction that that uaity IS to
be perfected IN oar Oacaa country, and en-
der oar Democratic Institutions" 1t is
letter worthy the philanthropic character
of the distinguished Senator.
