THE calamity last week that overlook
the steamer Onkle Joseph in Italian wa
ters, seems to exceed, in its casualty list,
any of the numerous steamboat disasters
which have recently occurred in any
part of the globe. The unfortunate YES
sci seems, at the time of the disaster, to
have been doing service as an emigrant
ship. Two hundred and siXty-four pas
sengers were on board, most of them
bound for South America. Besides these,
there were thirty-eight Of the crew,
making the total of the living freight
three hundred and two. The Ortigia,
which unwittingly did the terrible work,
is vessel of double the tonnage of the
unfortunate ship. Going at full speed.
she struck the Onkle Joseph amidships,
almost cutting it in two. The night was
one of pitchy darkness and neither ves-
sci seems to have known of the others
presence until the awful crash came.
Three minutes later, the 0nkle Joseph
sank, thus adding to the difficulty of
saving any of the passengers and crew.
To make rescue even more impossible,
the ship was not provided with any life
saving apparatus, and the passengers
were thrown into the water to struggle
for time, bat to meet the inevitable fate
of drowning. At the subsequent roll-call
of survivors, only thirty-fve passengers
end thirty-three sailors answered to their
names, showing that two hundred and
thirty-four persons are missing and prob
ably drowned. Among the five seamen
who suocumbed, was the captain of the
ill.fated ship. The terrible affair cre-
ated considerable excitement in English
and American circles at Paris, as it was
feared thatmany persons of those nation
alities were on board but is seems this
not the case.

THE NEXT HOUSE

Will be organized by the Republicans,
they having a small majority. probably,
In this, and the two previous Congresses,
the House has been Democratic. We
had hoped to see our ascendancy con
tinued, but losses of members here and
there over the country has given the
House to the Republicans, The follow
ing, from an exchange, is 80 much to the
point, that we give it to our readers:
Barring a few early mistakes in t. 9
appointment of some of its officers, the
history of the House of Representatives
under DemoCratiCmanagementh has been,
in the main, extremely creditable to the
party. It's Speakers were men of mark.
ed ability and unsullied purity of char
acter. Mr. Kerr sank into a premature
grave, honored and regretted by his as,
sociates of all parties. Mr., Randall has
been the recognized barrier against all
corrupt and costly schemes. He proba-
bly, has saved to the Treasury, all told,
more millions than any other one man
in our history. AsChairman of the Ap!
priations Committee he commenced the
system of retrenchment, which dimin-
ished appropriations over thirty millions
for single fiscal year; and under his ad e.
ministration as Speaker the lobby has
been almost entirely extinguished. No
bounties, no subsidies, no land grants,
no huge doubtful claims of any desCrip-
tion have been passed, and the exeeu
tive departments have been kept by Con.
gressional vigilance and economy in toll.
erably decent order. This ia record of
which the party has reason to be proud.
It presents an honorable contrast to that
of the Republicans, when Mr.. Blaine
was Speaker and Mr.. Garfield, as Chair
man of Appropriations, "held the purse
strings of the nation" when the railroad
lobbies took possession of the very floor;
when Credit Mobilier and DeGolyer
scandals came thick and fast; when
members boarded their land grant bonds
when carpet baggers we're formed in
squads for sale; and when every days
report was loaded with accounts of Con-
gressional corruption, until the people
rose aud swept out the whole concern in
storm Of wrath and disgust.
Will the lobby now return7 Will the
old rings seappearP Will the late sys.
tenn of grants and subsidies, under the
gui Of internal improvements, accom-
panied by increase Of the army and 9th.
er public burdens, be revived2 We shall
see. All these questions will be more
or less definitely determined by the or
gsnisation of the House.
Meanwhile the Democrats can afford
to watch and wait. With such leader
on the floor as Mr.. Randall, no mistakes
of the majority will be suffered to pass
unimproved by the minority. With
management only moderately wise, the
Democrats will certainly regain in two
years enough seats to change the com.
plexion of the House. The policy Of
Randall and Tilden carried the country
in 1875 and will do so again upon issues
squarely define d in 1852.

THE Alliance Review attributes the
great Republican success in this, the
18th district, 10 the weakness of the
Stark Co. Democrat, Youngstown Vindi
Gator, Ohio Patriot and Carroll Co. ChrOn
icle.
We acknowledge, with all humility,
the weakness of the first named; bat
surely it is not kind nor generous in our
able and talented contemporary, who
had and still has the advantages of Mt.
Union College and the Hartshorns, to
twitus of it, The real object is no doubt
to take the full credit of the Republican
triumph to himself; for it must he con-
ceded that but for Alliance, Stark coun'
ty would always be Democratic. The
free love, Bob Ingersoll element there is
powerful, and too much for us. They
have a worthy organ in the Rerteoi
The Hartshorn organ at Alliance
should not monopolzs all the glory of
the late victory, but should Concede a
little to thefiEeen or twenty other Repub.
licsn papers in the district, especially
the home organ Of young Napoleon"
and the F. F. G. Now that election is
over, the Ajax of the lRevie.O may, with
the Hartshorns, give attention 20 the
hospital movement. There are individ
uals smttten with political small pox, as
we'll as the real article, and other loath
some diseases. Converting the Alliance
college building into hospital of that
kind would be magnanimous on the part
of the Mt, Union philosophers and their
special friends. The Rtvie1O, of course,
will be the small pox hospital organ.
Washington city, Mentor and other pla-
ces could furnish patients.

SOUTHERN SENSE.
The Governor Of Tennessee Expresses an
Opinion or Two.

OPiAhNA W I'VE
In an interview with the correspond
ent of Northern newspaper, Governor
Marks Of Tennessee, uses the following
language:
IT was in the Confederate service as
Colonel; and 1 accept the results of the
war without reserve. Ibelieve l an over
whelming majority of the people down
here feel as / do. The Northern people
do not understand us. They think We
are ripe for secession still. What possi-
BILE interest could we have in seeding
now! We went out Of the Union be-
cause we wanted the worth of our slaves
in our own way. We believed then sla'
very could not flourish unless we seCe'
ded. Let US be frank. We did seCede,
and 90 the worst of it by large major
ity. What in Gods name have we to
make US believe in secession under al
tered circumstances We have nothing
to secede for since slavery was abolish
ed, which am heartily glad Of; and we
are much better off within the Union,
where we belong, than we would be out
side of it, where we do not belong Re
cognizing this fact, it looks absurd to us
Southern people to be charged with en-
tertaining secession sentiments. The
people Of the North must certainly
think, if they are in earnest about that
that we are pack of simpletons, OF
worse. We do believe the Government
is now sufficiently centralized, and that
any further steps in that direction would
be dangerous to American liberty. Many
Republicans believe the came. and Ger
tainly there can be nothing disloyal in
that
my idea can be best illustrated by q
reference to history outside of our own
The case particularly applies to the ia
natiCs at the North--iew, but misChiev-
ous-who kept up this cry of Southern
rebellion. When Caesar overCame Pom
pey and returned to Rome, he demanded
a triumph, which disgusted the Romans
a good deal, because 1t was the first time
in The history OF Rome that Roman
general triumphed in the humiliation Of
one Roman army by another. Nearly
two hundred years ago, in Ireland, the
battle of the Boyne was fought and lost
by the Irish army. That and subsequent
reverses settled the fate of the country
Well, even 10 this day, there is little
faction of Irishmen calling themselves
Orangemen, who yearly celebrate the
defeat of their own countrymen two
hundred years ago, and keep up this big
oted and insane course, with its sectar
ian and sectional animosities.
"We have in our country little fac
tion-few in numbers, as l have SAID
but strong in passion and in prejudice
who keep up the memories of the recent
unfortunate war. They forget that we
fought together under Washington, in
the war of 1912, and in Mexico; that We
are children of the same mother, and
that our interests are Ia common. call
these few fanatics American Orangemen
and they are doing all they can, because
of narrowDess and selfshness, to keep
their country divided"

GRANT no BE pENsIoNEn.

The papers say the ex Presiden tial fund
has reached $t75 900, and the balance OF
the $250000 will soon be made up.
What a spectacle! Grant was eight
years President, during which time he
was kept free, and his salary amounted
to THREE HUsiDRED THOUSAND DoLLARsl
And now he is to be pensioned by pri.
vate bounty, Is this judicious practice
in Repubhc2 Has not Gen. Grant been
we'll paid for his services? Is not this
Republican party aping royalty in more
ways than'one2
Such dotngo were not thought of prior
to the enforcement of the Republican
party in power; and prior to their estab,
lishment of monopolies, by which men
become milionaires.
This IS only one Of the outgrowths Of
the policy of the Republican, Credit Mo
bilier, DeGolyer party.

WHY SHOULD Nor GEN. GRANT Work
Gen. Grant is hale, hearty and strong.
II he has not money enough to live on
why shoUld he not 60 to work and make
more, just the same as other people have
to do under like circumstances?
His son, who is in the army, has been
promoted beyond his intrinsic merits,
while his other sons may have married
rich, or at all events may be as capable
as other young men to shift for them
selves. And robust school of that kind
is good to make men of all boys.
But it is urged that it would be degrad-
ing to Gen. Grant to 60 to work again.
That cannot be so unless labor is in
itself degrading. We do not think it is.
In our Judgment 1t would be more hon
orable in Gen. Grant to go hauling cord
wood again or to tanning leather-always
with oak bark, however-than to be fed
or pampered by the hand of charity
