ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.


For the second time within recent period
efforts have been made To take the life of
iliam, Emperor of Germany. The last
attempt is described in the following cable
dispatch
BERLIN, June 2-While the Emperor
was taking drive at 30 this afternoon, some
shots, apparently proceeding from house in
the avenue Inter den Linden, were fired at
him. The Emperor was wounded in one arm
and on the cheek by buckshot and small shot

cnpying apartments at No. IS Unter den Lin

tried to commit suicide, but was secured. The
Emperor's personal attendant jumped into
the carriage and supported the Emperor until
the carriage reached the palace. The Elm.
peror was conveyed to bed aud several grains
Ut shot extracted causing great loss of blood
The Emperor suffered great pain, but never
lost consciousness up to the last moment. At
I O'Clock this evening no serious apprehen-
sions were felt as to his condition.
BERi IN, June 2.-The following is taken
from official accounts and bulletins published
in regard to the attempted assassination of
the Emperor:
Nobiling fred twice with double barrclled
gun. The Emperor received about thirty
small shot in the face both arms and back,
but by about six O'Clock this evening his gen.

all parts of the city throngcd into the Avenue
Inter der Linden on the news becoming
known
The assassin is Karl Edouard Nobiling, a
native Of kollnc, near Birnbaum, aged 81
years. He is resident of Berlin, doctor oI

democratic socialist clubs. A quantity OF

The National Candidate for Governor at
Home.

1t does not appear that Mr.. s. II. Mason,
the candidate of the National Labor
Greenback party for Governor, is very much
of laboring man himself, or that he ever did
very much for the laboring classes. On the
contrary he appears on various occasions to
have sided with the monopoles and owners
against the very class whose representative he
now processes to be. At least the Mercer
Dispatch printed in Mr.. Mason's own town,
says:
The nominee for Governor, S. r. Mason,
Esq, is citizen of this place and so well
kn"wn in this county that he requires but
brief mention. His indorsement, however,
by the labor influence in the National party
will be an anomaly SO long as the railroad
companies owning lines in thus county needed
an attorn-y Mr. Mason acted in that capacity.
When the coal operatives in the county desir-
ed to dispossess their lab ,rers because they
would not comply with the requirements of
the. mine owners, Mr.. Mason has 10 almost
every instance been the attorney of the mine
owners The last instance that we now recol-
lect Of was the dispDssessing of some forty or
fifty tenants at Sto .eborn. What sympathy
there is or can be be- ween Mr.. Mason and
the laboring men of Pennsylvania we know
not. His interests in the past have all been
on the other side Politics. however, makes
strange bed-iellows, and we ''shall see what
we shall see"
The above is a decide lly serion. charge for
our National friends to meet. We thoug hit
that they, representing the labor interests of
the State, would give us man for Governor
who was identified in every way with the
labor movement, and who wa, in sympathy
with the thoughts and feelings of tn masses
of the hard working people of the State. But
behold T! they have given u'a hwyer, who in
every conflict between railroad lines and mine
owners and their employees. has always bee n
found on the side Of the employers as against
the employed At Stone ooro it seems Mr..
Mason was the attorney of the mine
owners when they dispo4sessed some f,rty or
fifty tenants Of their homes, and tucnsd them
out to starve and freeze--little cared the mine
owners, and their lawyer, Mr. Mason, which.
Is this the kind of man for the laboring
men Of the country to tie to? We think
not.
When the labor element Of this state went
to the trouble Of organizinga political party
of their own, AL assumed TO represent tn
interests of the poor men of the state, it
would have been more consistent in them to
have nominated man for Governor who was
in ace .iiau,e with tn ir principals and senti-
ment. Eut how man who has been the ad-
wiser of ia road companies and mine own ers
against their la horers can claim to be the rep
resentati"e of the labor party, is more than
We en- understand. We notice that Mr..
CaLh utJc lor-Governor Mason is about to
take the stump in his own behalf. Will he
please IL explain in the outstart how he ca n
con silently claim to lead the labor party p

On The war Path.

WASHINGToN, June The following as
beeu received from General Sheridan at
Chicago:
"The news from Campas Prairie, on the
Boise road, has serious look, judging from
the information received here by Mcdowell
l have directed General Crook to collect at
Fort Hall all the force he can. We are n.
| fortunately in a bad fix in case of any trou-
BILE. AT best we can send only few men
there"
General Howard reports that the cilizeus
of Boise mention that Indians are raiding
the overland road seventy miles south of
Captain Collins camp on the Big Campas
Prairie. General Mcdowell telegraphs from
San Francisco that he has received the fol-
lowing from Patten, commanding Boise
Arrived at Camas, June /, where men
were shot. Indians have taken herders
tents, contents and horses, killing three of
them. Indians are supposed to be encamped
in strong place in the lava beds, seven
miles from here. The best estimate we can
get is that there are about three hundred
To reach them we will have 10 move over
very rough country. so we shall develop this
position carefully. From letters sent here
from Wood creek think the party commit
ting the depredations on the overland road
are Piutes and Umadillas, retiring to their
country, going west fom Camas. This par
ty took King Hills station, on the overland
road, driving off stage stock, cutting up har-
ness, etc. The men escaped and observed
the depredations from distance. Late ad-
vices by the overland stage report two wa
gons captured and destroyed by Indians just
beyond Glenn's Ferry. This is supposed to
be the party that attacked King Hill yester-
day, as they were moving in that direction.
They cut the Ferry loose have not heard of
the teamsters. The wagon had considerable
metallic ammunition and powder also revolv-
ers.
The subject of Indian troubles is a source
OF great attention at the War Department
The Secretary Of War and the General of the
Army have been in conference to-day with
reference thereto, and in the brief Cabinet
council this afternoon Mr.. McCrary indicat-
ed to the President and the members of the
Cabinet his views and that of military COM
manders reporting to the Secretary of War
regarding the seriousness of the situation.
Army officers are convinced that thero is
danger ahead in the region disturbed by the
recently reported Indian outbreak. General
Sherman has sent instructions to Generals
Sheridan and Mcdowell to use all their
available force to protect the government in
terests and the white people from the raw
ages that are expected.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 4.-Gov. Brayman,
of Idaho Territory, telegraphs that war is
imminent that oil arms under his control
have been issued, and that . further supply
is coming from Vancouver and Seneca,

THE LEADING HUMORIST OF THE AGE

The sagacious Times early discovered that
the new editor of the Press had become the
leading humorist Of our country, out-rival
ing Eli Perkins, Mark Twain or Petroleum
V. Nasby. One ofthe latest and best hits i,
the following
"The Democrats are determined to carry
the next House of Representatives at all
hazards. Having redistricted Ohio SO as to
provide gain OF seven members, they are
now thinking of redistricting Mississippi, in
order TO give themselves every district in the
State. Their purpose is to crush out the Re-
publican vote wherever they can. What
would they say il the Republicans were to
follow their example in the States where
they have the power in their hands ? The
desperate eagerness of the Democrats to get
a majority in the next House is explained
by its necessity for the consummation of the
revolutionary plot they have in prospect"
The recent exposition of the plans con-
ceived by Hayes, Sherman, Mathews and
other visiting statesmen" to steal the Pres
idency by perjury, fraud, and forgery, which
plans were executed by unwilling but bribed
tools in the sovereign States of South Caro-
lima, Florida, and Louisiana, should forever
shut the mouth of an honest Republican,
and if investigation of high crimes and their
proper punishment is to be defeated by the
cry of revolution" the same plea should
be effective with the lower grade of criminals
as well as those who hold high offices OF
trust and profit.
But the pith of the PresS's humor is its
denunciation of alleged gerrymandering in
Ohio and Mississippi. Why does not the
Press denounce the fearful gerrymander of
the Pennsylvania legislative and congression-
al districts, made by a Cameron Legislature?
Where was the fairness of the apportion.
ment bill of 1873, which, on the average
required 1884 Democrats to elect Con-
gresham, but only required II 1859 Republi-
cans TO accomplish the same result? Or
why were Democratic counties unnaturally
massed so that in one District it took 97 900
population TO elect a Senator, and in another
$4,000. Every one knows that contignity of
territory and common interests were disre-
garded. Counties were divided, and even
wards from Scranton in the Eleventh
District were cut off and attached
to division running from the forks of the
Susquehanna to the Delaware, the
centre of the State to the New York line.
And what equity was there in so districting
the evenly divided City of Philadelphia so
that the Democrats get only one out of four
Congressmen, and but three out of thirty
eight members of the lower House at Har-
risburg? When the Republicans satisfacto-
rily answer these questions we will consider
the enormity of Democratic Legislatures
elsewhere in undoing the wrongs of past Re-
publican Administrations.

BAN AND DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURY, COLUMBIA COUNTY PA

A bill in equity restraining Commissioners
Saunders, Griffith and Summers, the Com
missoners appointed TO establish the line of
Lackawanna county, under the act recently
passed by the Legislature has been filed in
the Office of the Prothonotary of Luzerne
county and the people of Lackawanna, who
haye worked so earnestly for this measure,
are mao enough to mutter maedictions on
their foes were they not deferred by the p-
Gus training OF their youth. The bill in
equity charges that the proceedings of the
commissioners are without authority and
Illegal the act of Assembly being unconsti.
tutional as it is not applicable to all counties
of the State that the mode of election is
special and not in harmony with general
election laws that the manner of appoint
ing county officers is in conflict with the law,
and that the territory asked to be set off in.
to new county contains a population ex-
ceeding 10000, and therefore designates a
separate judicial district. 1t also charges
that the creation of new judicial district
will curtail the jurisdiction of the present
Judges that section sixteen of the act de-
stroys the lien and security of the creditors
of Luzerne county by prohibiting the col
lection of tax over large part of the county
and not providing adequate means of ascer-
tanning the debt that the act is generally in
conflict with the Constitution and laws, and
prayer is made that defendants be restrained
from proceeding further. II. W. Palmer ap-
pears as attorney for the plaintiff, and the
application was made before Judge Harding.
The people of Scranton are very indignant
over the matter, but are confident OF the
constitutionality of the act, and will fight
the injunction to the bitter end.

Major Igles, commanding the Seventh In
fantry at Fort Benton, reports under date of
April 18th, to the military headquarters at
Chicago, that the hostile Indians gathered
at the eastern corner of Cypress Mountain,
known as Sitting Bulls camp" intend an
early invasion south of the American boun-
Diary. The warriors number 2O0O and are
fully armed and equipped. Recently Sitting
Bull harangued them, promising to "return
to the United States when the grass grows
and makes the soldiers weak" In view OF
the situation Major Igles has "moved his
forts to new place better fitted for de-
fence"
