d" Cnesk" ut tho Opera House.

Last evening a good-sized audience
greeted Roland Reed as Dick Smythe in
the comedy of Check" in Fulton opera
house. Mr.. Reed, from the moment
he appeared upon the stage in the
first act until he left it at the close Of the
last, was in full possession of
tho most unstinted favor OF the
audience. His ability as q comedian
was most amply demonstrated last night
in " Cheek," :" where as " a gentleman, and
don't care who knows it." he displayed
all tho recklessness of metropolitan Bo-
hemian, who for sustenance is compelled
to rely wholly upon his i-npudenee. Mr..
Reeds personation of the character
was consummate exhibition of the art
in his line, and fully merited the continued
plaudits of the audience. Miss Frances
Bishop. as Nell, was pretty and as vivaci-
GUS as could be wished, while the remain
der of the company we'll met the require
ments necessary to a satisfactory lnterpre-
tation of the play, which is ono Of tho
most enjoyable comedies on the road: Mr.
Reed had it announced that he would 70.
appear hero on December 14th.

How 1t Happened.

George Bliss, New York politician
of President Arthur's set, thinks he
knows how it happened that the political
revolution came. It was due, he de-
clares, some time ago, and the Republi-
can party has been kept in power less by
its own wisdom and virtues than by
Democratic laundering. That is about
our own opinion, only we would express
it somewhat differently. We cheerfully
admit that its wisdom and virtue had
very little to do in keeping the Republi-
can party in power, for it would be very
hard to say where they have exhibited
any for some time past. They have
clung to their places by their corruption
and fraud and by the Democratic blum
dering cowardice which permitted these
means to be successful. The time
when the Republican regime prop
erly came to an end was
the time when Mr.. Tilden was
elected president. No one to-day denies
that he was elected and no one can de-
fend the lack of courage and wisdom of
Mr.. Tilden and the Democratic leaders
which permitted the verdict of the peo
pie to be nullifed. But it is
very brazen in the Republican
agents of the successful fraud to
explain to-day that their party was really
overthrown SO long ago, and has since
maintained itself in power against the
popular sentiment which has now so
Enthusiastically and emphatically kicked
them out. Men who have done this trick
and boast of it are not men who will he
readily trusted again and Mr.. Bliss
and his friends can resign themselves to
the conclusion that the Democratic
laundering which left them SO long in

Two COiored Murderers Select u Way to Die.
AT Knoxville, Tenn, Milton and Samuel
Hodges, negroes and brothers, were
hanged Friday Ior the murder of James
Mcfarland at Black Oak Ridge on the 5th
of last September. The execution took
place in an open field in a ravine half
mile from the court house, in a natural
amphitheatre, the ground rising on all
sides. There was no trap or scaffOld,
simply two upright posts placed in the
ground, with cross beam, from which
ropes were suspended. The wagon with the
two prisoners drove under the beam at
half. past one, the ropes were adjusted and
the wagon was driven away and the men
were left dangling. They were choaked
to death. Both the condemned chose this
method of meeting their death. The
gibbet was enclosed by rope into which
nobody was admitted but the clergy,
officers and reporters. An immense crowd
was outside. Good order prevailed.
When the judge at the close of their
trial pronounced their sentence, conclud-
ing, {" and may the Lord have mercy on
your SOULS" Milton Hodges replied
"And may the Lord have mercy ON YOUR
soul. You'll 60 before We will.' They
were sentenced to be hanged on the oath
of March but were respited until Friday.

The Old Mans Pluck.

Our aged Winnebago chieftain is
among the sad-eyed Republicans whose
thought the newspaper reporter gives
out. He was found in the Girard house
in the little room behind the office,
whore he had come down from his room
to see his friends. bearing in his hand a
volume of the Vicar of Wakefield"
with which he said he had been regaling
himself Goldsmith, as he said in further
explanation, being one of his favorite
authors. He was one of them literary
fellers' whom he delighted in; not one
of the kind that nowadays, in the col
umns of the daily press, give SO much
trouble and abuse to fellows who are not
literary, but a respectable fellow who
confined himself to writing delightful
romances to amuse the weary and dis
consOlate politician, with whom things
have gone generally to the bad and who
needs to get into the unreal to relieve
his mind from the strain of real
woes. No one will dispute that Simon
Cameron has reason to feel sad and
weary. The affairs OF THE FAMILY,
which he left in good care, have got in a
sad mess under the care of his scion !;
but the aged chieftain keeps up hi s
fierce spirit and his voice is still
for war. He admits no mistake
in the past save in the Cancellation
rendered to the rebels in his party.
There should have been no parley with
them. at all, he declares, but they should
have been remOrselessly trampled under
foot. Perhaps the aged chief is right ;
but the general impression is otherwise.
His son Don is thought to have exce)led
in stiff-neckedness and to have come to
grief thereby, t,ft it seems that he was
not stubborn enough 10 suit the views of
his savage sire who would not have
had him even to parley with his foe.
1t is not surprising that with this paren'
tai teaching and inheritance Don Cam
erOn has shown SO little facility in com.
promising with his enemies. Tie fault
was not his, but Simon's; and yet the
latter has epjoyed.the reputs Of the wis
dom of the serpent and of disposition
which would bend before a crushing
storm. Like devoted father he stands
by his son, and making the best of the
situation, after the battle is lost, charges
the result, not to the stubborn folly of the
general, but to the timidity of his aids.

A raother and her Child Burns to Doatil
with NeishbOrs POwerless to Help.
A dispatch received at Harrisburg says {:
The particular Of a horrible burning affair
in the upper end OF this county have just
been received here. John d. Hepler, his
wife and seven children, occupied tenant
house three miles east of Gratz, in Lykens
township. On Wednesday Mr.. Hepler,
who is stable boss at the Bear Valley work
of tho Summit Branch coliiery with ono Of
his sons, were at their accustomed en-
ployment The other members Of the
family retired early, Mrs. Hepler placing
some shavings in the kitchen stOvO with
which to start the fire in the morn
ing. About II o'clock at night
the oldest boy was awakened and
found tho house ON fire. His mother
was aroused. and the 500, with her
assistance, was ablo to rescue two OF the
children, when Henry Reed, the nearest
neighbor, living about a hundred yards
distant, arrived at the scene. MIR. Reed
caught two more Of the little ones in his
arms as they were passed from second
story window by the mother, but before
she and her Oldest daughter, Mary, eight
years of age. could effect their escape from
the burning building, the timbers gave
way anu DOtu WoI0 ouVolOpoN- W 1AO
flames. The shrieks of tho two unfOrtu-
pates could be plainly heard as they met
their death with 10 one able to save them.
The smallest child was severely burned
about the head, face and hands. The
others were burned slightly. One of the
sons was hurt in being thrown from the
house. The charred remains of the VIC
Tins were found yesterday noon. MIR.
Eepler and his son were sent for, a dis
tance of three miles. and when the hus-
band and father reached the scene he was
80 much overcome that he became uncOn-
sciOus and remained in that state for some
time. The fire is supposed to have been
caused by the shavings in the stove ig-
hitting. The dwelling, an old twO-stOry
house was burned to the ground, together
with its contents and between $500 and
$4OO in money.
When the fire at the Helper residence
had burned itself out, neighbors to whom
the rescued children had gone found the
charred remains of the little one hpgged
close to those of the mother, whose sacri-
fec cost her own life. Mrs. Hepler was
forty years of age, and came of a wealthy
family. While the escape of the five
children is considered miraculous, the sad
fate of the mother and youngest child has
spread gloom over the whole valley.

very emphatically of the opinion that the

hands of the office holders and Office hunt
CTS. The strength Of the committee OF ono
hundred is largely due to this determ!na-
tior on its part. Tho tendency OF ONCE
holders to organize and run the machine
for their own protection and the practice
of asscciating persons in party manage
ment so as to afterwards claim division
of the spoils fov services rendered has led
to the prevailing popular p otest against

No man should be identified with the con
troll of the Democratic organization VINO

suspected of running the machine for his
own present or future interest. The ex.
ecutive committee should be made up at
least OF majority of men who will give
their constant presence and aid to the
chairman in state campaigns, taxing the
place of the usual SO called secretaries. In
the campaign just closed Mr. kisner. MIR.
Meek and Mr.. Shade did substantially all
of the work, except that which was purely
clerical, which had done, not only
privately but far more expeditiously and
economically at Lancaster, under the cap
able direction of Mr.. Lichry, than it could
have been done at headquarters. Such
aids as these would be of much more ser
vice to the new chairman in an executive

would darken counsel by words and who
would be busy setting up jobs tor their

SATURDAY EVENING NOV. II. 1881
Don't Want It.

Mr., Blaine takes immediate occasion
to say that he is not candidate for
president and would not take the nomi-
nation If rendered him. He thinks
Senator Harrison, Of Indiana, would be
a good man for his party to nominate.
Mr.. Harrison has had such an aspira.
tion whether he still has it is question
able. He is in Washington, and the in
terviewer has found Kim out. He is
portrayed. as in a very disconsolate
frame of mind, sorrowing over the
Lighted prospects Of his party. Mr..
Harrison feels, as Mr.. Blaine does, that
there is a great deal of vanity and vexa-
ton of spirit in politics. Mr.. Harrison,
like Mr.. Blaine, would like to be
president, but has no anxiety to
be defeated candidate for the Office.
The Republican, party now has
to lock to another class Of candidates for
its presidential nomination, men OF the
second degree, who would relish nOmi
nation for the compliment of the thing,
and of sanguine spirit which would
lead them to hope where thereis no hope.
Folger and Beaver would answer the
requirement in temperament, but
they have been buried under too
heavy majori.ies to be available.
Mr.. William Window would, no
doubt, accept the standard, which old
coons like Blaine and Harrison fight
shy of, developing sudden and strong
inclination for the pleasures of private
life. There are some Republicans who
pretend to think that the late deluge was
not much of shower after all,
and that their party will be able to
have its plumage in fine feather
for the coming presidential contest. Mr..
Blaine is not among them; he realizes
the fact that for some time to come the
Democratic party will he in the saddle ;
the period depending upon its good be-
haviour. He does not believe that the
Democracy will be in hurry to lose
what they have gained. In the course OF
time it is quite probable that the Demo-
cratic virtue will run out, and the polit'
ical opposition, refined by their period OF
exclusion from the flesh pots, will come
in; but the day is not going to be an
early one.

A Hoarse Upset. and the Coffin Thrown Out
lnrO the Roadway.
An awful accident took place Friday
during the funeral services of Mrs. New
master, near Cornwall, Lebanon county.
The procession was passing along the
Cornwall pike from the ore bank to the
Methodist Episcopal church, when the
horses attached to the hearse took fright
at a passing locomotive and ran away. The
frightened animals dashed to one side at a
fearful pace, upset the hearse, broke the
French plate-glass sides, threw the coffin
into the road, split it and smashed the
hearse into pieces. The closed carriages
in tho procession stopped, the mourners
got out, and a number tainted and fell at
the sight of the unusual wreck. The
greatest excitement prevailed. The un-
dertaker was obliged to send to Lebanon
for another hearse, the mourners waiting
until the coffin could be lifted from the
road and secured. The driver of the hearse
fortunately escaped unhurt.
