The Democratic Platform.

We heartily agree with the Pitts
burgh Post that the Democratic state
platform should be emphatic and signi-
ficant in its denunciation of the prosti.
tuition of public Office to the service of
partisan schemes. The convention
must make pledges on this subject to
which the party proposes to sincerely
adhere, if it would meet the demand of
the hour and would win and keep popu
lar confidence. Its candidates must be
men who will administer their high
trusts for the common veal and not
abuse them for their own ends and
in mistaken zeal to serve
their party-for any public official
who maladministers his trust hurts his
party. The lowest depth of the degra-
dation of the public service has been
reached in the levy by the Republican
congressional committee of a two per
cent. tax on the salary of every employee
of the federal government, including
pages and the scrub women in the CAPT.
tOl, day labOrers in the navy yard, letter
carriers and cross roads postmasters.
The demand is impudent and uncon-
cealed between its lines can be read the
threat of dismissal for failure to pay and
First Assistant Postmaster zen. Frank
Hatton has male broad intimation that
the federal administration is in sympa-
thy with this blackmailing levy on the
peoples servants, who are paid with the
peoples money for public service. All
this is done in direct violation of section
1,546 of the revised statutes, as follows {:
"NO officer or employee of the govern
ment shall require or request any work.
ingman in any navy yard to contribute or
pay any money for political purposes, nor
shall any workingman be removed or dis
charged for political opinion and any
officer or employee of the government who
shall offend against the provisions of this
sction shall be dismissed from the service
of the United States.''

Jim Mitchell waylaid the wife Of a re-

most brutal manner only TWO miles from
town. Within two bours afterwards the
wretch was in Jail. That night five men,
armed with pistols, entered the Jail and
forced the jailer to deliver the victim into
their hands. He was taken out and hung
TO a railroad trestle half a mile from town.
The body was taken down and buried by
the coroner. He confessed the crime and
was fully identified by Mrs. Thomas.

DARKNESS OVER EGYPT.

$50 Europeans Reported TO Have lseen Killed
Tho Government Losing Control.
The number of Europeans killed on
Sunday is now estimated at $50. Many
were thrown into the sea and are being
daily washed ashore. All the bodies bear
marks of bludgeon Or bayonet wounds.
Several witnesses of Sundays riots assert
that the rabble were preceded by detach-
ment of gendarmes, who drew up in the
middle of the square and looked on when
the massacre began, and afterward took
part in it. The consuls general are pre-
pairing another circular, addressed to their
respective cOuntrymen, expressing conf
dence that order will be maintained by the
Egyptian army, the object being to instil
confidence pending the arrival of the
Turkish troops.
Germany and Austria are trying to in
duce tho military party to ask the khedive
for pardon. Tho military demand, as a
condition, the dismissal Of two confiden-
tial advisers of the Khedive.
The khedive has expressed the hope
that is, 600 Turks will be shortly on their
way to Egypt. After the reception he
held he informed the Europeans that he
had divided tho town into districts and
had made an officer responsible for each.
He said 43O ringlcadcrs of Sundays riot
had been arrested and would be placed on
board a ship in the harbor, where they
would be we'll guarded.

THOUGHTFUL people interested in the
conflict which is waged between some
scientists and revealed religion will, we
are sure, read with pleasure the address
Of the president of Palatinate college
printed on our first page to day. Rev.
DR.. Russell is vigorous and original
thinker and is fearless in the expression of
what he believes. There is good deal
of combative philosophy in his aphorism,
"What is true is not new, and what is
new is not true.''
A METROPOLITAN newspaper, sympathix-
ing with the Independent cause in this
state, has long editorial commencing the
letter of Attorney General "Sear." Such
may be the penalty of fame, or it may be
designed to conceal the fact that this dis.
gruntted statesman is the same eminent
customer who, as attorney general, was
paid fee of $1,000 by a corporation
which sought to evade the payment of its
taxes and which did effect settlement
with the commonwealth, represented by
Lear, by reason of which it escaped pay
ing some $4,000 or $50, 600 that should
have gone into the state treasury.
THE Maine medical society, in session
at Portland, on Wednesday night unani-
mously approved the code of ethics of the
American medical association, and re.
pudiated the revised code of the New
York state medical society governing con-
sultations. On the other hand the New
York Independent declares that tho
Irregular doctors who met at St. Paul
did a consummately silly thing, and
thereby exposed themselves to the ridicule
of all sensible people, when they voted to
exclude the delegates of the New York
medical society, for the reason assigned.
1t is too late in the day to prescribe all
homeopathic physicians as mere" e"quacks."
There may be homeopathic quacks, as
there are great many "allopathic "
quacks > but homeopathy as school
of medicine has. in this country and in
Europe, reached the grade of scientific
respectability aud has its share of the con-
fidence and patronage of the general public
This is the fact, whether tho Irregular .
doctors like it or not, and they cannot
change the fact by turning up their noses
in contemptuous sneers. The better way
is to accept the facts and treat their
homeopathic rivals with professional
courtesy and decency. DR.. Gray, who has
just died in New York, was a homGo-
pathist, and few men ever had a larger
experience, moro extended practice. or
greater success in the treatment of dis
ease. 1t will hardly do to say that DR..
Gray was simply medical humbug, and
that all his patients were humbugged by
him for nearly fifty years.

BLACK JAKE'S STORY.


The CIugsron slystery Likely to be Solved.
The idea that the perpetration of the
mysterious murder of Mr.. Clugston, at
Valley Forge, has been discovered is based
on information received from the United
States Marshall Hill, Illinois, who has it
from a burglar and tramp named Thomas
Leonard, alias Nelson, who is native OF
Norristown, and who, was for many years
a member of notorious band of desper-
ate tramps who plundered scores Of stores
and farm houses in Montgomery, Berks
and adjoining counties, and finally be-
came known as the Little German
Band.'' With this band was a tramp
called "Black jake and he and
Leonard were strong friends until in 1879
the last named was convicted of larceny
by the testimony of his partner. Leonard
served fifteeD months in Jail and then
went West. A few months ago he was
arrested in Illinois on charge of larceny,
and, while in Jail "Black Jake" was cap
tured for burglary and placed in the same
cell with his old friend. Leonard forgave
Jake for testifying against him, and their
old intimacy was resumed in prison.
Leonard declares that one night in bed
his mate told him all about the Clugston
murder, and admitted that he killed the
old man, but said he was compelled to
commit the crime in order to escape.
"Jake " also told Leonard that when he
had tho struggle with young Thomas
ClugstOn and tumbled down stairs he
broke two of his ribs, which were not at
tended to by physician until he reached
Scranton. He escaped across the country
and boarded q west bound coal train near
Phenixville about daylight. He told
Leonard all the clues that he left behind
him, and, tho list that Leonard sent to

public when he issued the handbill Offer
ing a reward for the capture of the muir
derer. In the last letter Hill and Leonard
say they do not expect to receive a cent of
the reward until they prove that they have
the murderer and he is convicted.

taxable deliverence upon this important
subject. Principle and policy alike de-
mand that the Democrats should assure
independent people that Democratic
success means a substantial reform in
the present degradation of the public
service.
We are in hea rty accord, too, with the
opinion of the Erie Observer, that there
can he no dispute in Democratic state
convention over the questions which
were settled when, by the almost solid
support of the Democracy and by over
100000 majority of the popular vote, the
new constitution was adopted. As the
Observer say, it would be in the high
est degree unwise for the party to recede
from the advanced position in which it
placed itself a year ago, Nine-tenths
of the Democracy and a large majority
of the people of both parties, are anti
monopolists. The issue between the
corporations and the people is the most
vital question of the day, and must he
fought to conclusion sooner or later ;
and if neither of the old parties has the
courage to take the popular side the
masses will eventually be forced to
seek redress through new orga-
nization." "If there was any fault
in the last Democratic platform,
it was in the use of too many words to
express the simple idea that all the peo-
pie of the state should have equal privi-
leges before the law. We believe the
masses of the party would be satisfied
with brief declaration in favor of the
enforcement of the constitution, in its
letter and spirit. 1t would cover all
there is in the anti-monopoly resolutions
of 1881. The man who is not in favor of
enforcing the organic law, adopted by an
overwhelming majority of the people, is
neither a good Democrat nor good
citizen. Such man is certainly not the
proper person to construct Democratic
PLATFORM
The Observer is likewise aware,
no doubt, that in the original draft of
the platform for last years convention,
which was adopted in the main, the cor
poration issue was stated in the brief
but comprehensive way suggested by the
OJserrer. A simple declaration for the
vigorous enforcement of the state con-
stitution is all that is necessary to meet
the issue. Surely no Democrat can OBJ
ject to the creatures of the state SUBJ
mitting themselves to the law which
governs all else within it's borders"

A Boston boy, on the Fourth of July,
showed that he knew how to make an
honest penny by sober business opera
ton. His father gave him twenty-five
cents for spending money for the day.
He concluded TO see il he could not add
a little more TO IT,
He invested II in sugar and lemons
instead of iire-crackerS, and, borrowing
a pitcher and glass from his mother,
and taking ice from the family refrig-
orator, he made some lemonade, and
went into the streets TO sell il TO the
thirsty wayfarers.
BY noon he returned with an empty
pitcher and profit of nine cents above
his original capital, in which he exulted
as much as If it had been rs many dollars.
BY q judicious expenditure of explo-
sive in the afternoon he was enabled to
make himself greater nuisance to the
neighborhood, than he could have done

possessions. And this, from a boys
