Charles f. Wise, the :cronaut, and son
Of the late Professor John Wise, writes to
the I1mcs to say, with relation to an arti-
Gle that appeared in Sundays Times on the
subject of - Future BallOoning," that the
circumstances OF the death Of Professor
Donaldson and those of his father We're
widely different. Donaldson, lie says,
went out out in IN old lcaky balloon, after
it had already performed 4 voyage an!
stood all nj ght inflated, and furth-
ermorc, the start was made direct
ly on the edge OF Lake Michigan.
In Professor Wise's case he says it
was an entirely new balloon and the as
cent was made ut y distance Of over two
hundred miles from the lake. The com
paEioa of Professor Wise, SO far from be-
ing inexperienced, was not only an aero
naut himself, but the owner of the
balloon, which he had purchased from
Professor Wise and agreed to pay the
money, $3.50, when the descent was made.
Ii is the belief of Professor Wisc's son
that the loss of their lives was due t."
Professor Wise placing the sailing "! the
balloon in the hands of his companion
while he himself took Il nap, telling the
other to wake him up il necessary, which
the latter failed to do.

THE CONSCIENTIOUS PER.
CENTAGE.

There is such thing as a public
conscience. 1t recognizes hagrant
wrong, and finds ways, sooner or later,
to make itself felt in the actions of a
very respectable percentage Of voters
who are not diverted from their pur.
pose by sneers. This percentage,
oftentimes termed independent voters,
will, if opportunity offers, most assur-
odly emphasize their distrust of the
men who press the apportionment
scheme now discussed. We endorse
much that the Post Gays on this sub.
ject The Post puts the case fairly
we think. The apportionment pro
posed is unjust, and if carried out, will
only work injury to the State. The
Post admits "tho Republicans are en-.
titled to an apportionment that will
give them fair majority in both
branches Of the Legislature" And
we think it rises above o mere party
cry when it calls on honest men of all
parties to oppose the scheme, for we
believe, with the Post, that it twill be
Just as hard on honest Republicans as
Democrats" and for this reason we
echo the Posts language "The bill
should be resisted TO the last ditch
and by every means honest men can
employ to protect life, liberty and
property, for 1t involves them all,"-
Pittsburgh Chronicle, (Repubiican.)

ALMOST DEAD.

How the insurance craze is affecting
the people is Illustrated by the follow
ing fact: Early in the year we insert.
ed an advertisement stating that mon
ey could be had on good security, and
for further particulars apply at this
Office. Last week a person came in
who owns little farm, and wanted to
know who had the money to loan.
Inquiry developed the fact that he
wanted money to pay some insurance
assessment, and that he had already
paid out over si00, most of which he
had borrowed, on a $4,000 policy he
held on an old person residing in Tur.
betL township, Junlata county. There
was now, he said, thirty.fve dollars
again due, and if he did not pay that
he would lose all he had invested, and
he wound up his appeal by saying,
''and the old man is almost dead and
cannot possibly hold out much longer. -
In order to obtain this money he was
willing to pay two per cent per month
for the use of it THREE MONTHS, and by
that time he would certainly get bis
money from the company, During the
past three months this man has dc.
prived his family of things they need.
ed, being unable to pay his little debts
he should have paid, encumbered his
home with u lien he may never be able
to pay, and done all this with the hope
that fellow creature would soon die.
Does not man so situated commit
murder in his hearth as nothing but
the speedy death of the insured can
save this man from the hands of the
Sheriff. This one case is no doubt q
fair representation Of hundreds of 9th.
ers-NeC Bloomfield Times.

THE LATE GOV. BIGLER.

The State Senate, on Wednesday,
April 9th devoted an afternoon to the
consideration Of that part of the Gov.
ernor's message referring to the death
OF Gov. Bigler. Senator Alexander

and was followed by several other
Senators. The Harrisburg correspond.
ent of the Philadelphia Times says.
"The eulogies were of unusual inter.

in which prose could scarcely be dis.

THE FACTS.

1t will be remembered that Senator
Butler promised to give the public sir.
refragable proof" of a corrupt bargain
between the Republicans and Malone
to control the organization Of the Uni.
ted States Senate. One day recently
Mr.. Butler, in the course OF reply to
the virulent TRADE of abuse uttered by
Frye, of Maine, against the people Of
the South, proceeded to fulfill his prom
Use, and in support OF his position
he presented the following seventeen
facts, which Republicans can answer
in their leisure moments
Frst-Thc Senator from Virginia
(Mr. Mahone) was elected to the SEN
ate as Democrat.
SecOnd-His purpose to vote with
the Republicans had never been an.
nounced until his vote disclosed that
fact,
ThTd-Following that vote he had
been assigned to the chalrmanship OF
an important committee by the Repub.
licah caucus.
FoWth-Tbis had been followed by
the nomination Of Mr. Riddleberger for
Sergeantat-Arms.
FVth-George c, Gorham, an earn.
est friend Of the Senator, has been
nominated as Secretary.
,Sirth-Ho (Mr. Mahone) had ap.
pointed Mr.. Gorham's brother.in.law
as Clerk of his Committee.
Seuenth-The nominations by the
President Of Mr. Mahono's political
friends to Federal offices.
Eighth-The Senator has voted on
every motion with the Republicans.
Ninth-By such votes he was carry.
ing out the will of the Republican
caucus.
TCnth-He has moved his seat to the
Republican side OF the Chamber.
EleUenth-The Republican caucus
refused to transact public business un-
Ill Gorham and Riddleberger were
elected.
Tveyth-The Senator still claimed
to be Democrat and voted with the
Republicans.
Thirteenth Riddleberger was an
avowed Democrat and repudiationist,
and therefore offensive to the Ropubli-
cans.
FoWteenth-The Senator from Ohio
{ Mr. Shcrman) avowed that anything
that would beat down the Democratic
party was justiiable.
Fyteenth-The Democratic Senators
had been assailed because they voted
as their consciences dictated, in order
to divert the attention of the country
from an unlawful alliance.
Sirteenth-Instead of inviting an in.
vestigation Of the charges the Senator
from Virginia and his friends sought
to prevent free speech and Legitimate
discussion by threats and denuncia.
ton.
SeUeHieenth-The reason assigned for
the coalition was that the Senator from
Virginia was in favor of free ballot
and a fair count.
A free ballot and n fair count con
tinued Mr.. Butler, when at the last
election the State Of Indiana was col.
onized with negro voters from the
South in order TO nullify and neutral.
ize the Democratic vote of that State.

SILLY STAR ROUTE STORY.

The following appeared in the Phila.
delphia Times Of Monday:
Certain Washington correspondents
of the Philadelphia Press, New York
Times, Boston Herald and other news.
papers give currency to statements
"that money TO large amountr received
from the Star Route ring was used TO
aid in nominating General Hancock at
Cincinnati +" "that money from the
same source was used in the Pennsyl.
yania Democratic Convention Of 1880" +"
and that in my capacity as Chairman
of Subcommittee of the Senate Appro.
priation Committee on tho Post Office
Appropriation bills, | aided the Star
Route ring.
1t is not my habit to contradict
newspaper falsehoods, but the trlfth
touches the purity Of Gen, HancoclS's s
nomination, and, therefore, / write.
No money whatever came from any
source TO carry the delegation from
his own State for General Hancock,
and none was used, His enemies and
mine trumpeted the result Of that Con
ventionas victory over Gen. Hancock
and his friends. Gen. Wm. B. Frank
lin was in charge of the Hancock head.
quarters at Cincinnati and controlled
the expenditure Of all moneys used
there No such sum as $4,000 was
either raised to expend or was expended
there. The whole sum expended did
not exceed $500, and this was for
rent, music, banners, badges, otc.
Those in charge of his interests there
did not believe in securing either his
nomination Or his election by the use
of money.
In the passage of the Post Office
Deficiency bill of 1880, as Chairman OF
the Subcommittee, | was asked for
hearing by those interested in routes
which would be cut off by failure Of the
appropriation. They complained that
the House Committee refused to hear
them. The Subcommittee, Senators
Beck, Booth and myself gave them u
hearing. 1t was public, and the state.
ments made to us were printed. We
reported the bill back to the full Com
mittee favorably. Our report was
adopted, and | was instructed to call il
up and put it upon its passage. 1t
passed the Senate without q call Of the
yeas and nays. | gave my views of
the subject then, which are in tho
Record.
In our action upon that bill the guilt
or innocence Of no public official was
passed upon, but we acted solely upon
the conviction that it would be unwise
public policy to break down the mail
service west of the Mississippi by re.
fusing to vote the money to carry it on.
Respectfully Yours,
WILLIAM A. WALLACE.
