We believe in the winning o

to make them poor and miserable
When a rich man is only excited by

poor, in order that he may be super

of wealth is what we need in this
country and all countries. 1t is not
that wealth does not give in charity.
It is not that wealth is not sufficient
y taxed for the support Of those
who are wrecked in health and for.

give the people q chance to escape
from poverty; that it does not share
its chances with the poor, and point
the pathway for the poor toward
prosperity. As . rule, wealth is
only brotherly toward wealth, and
the poor man feels himself cut off
from sympathy with those who have
the power Of winning money. We

THE Republicans of Union county
are usually happy family and always
have things their own way rs against
the wicked Democrats. But Just now
they have their own troubles. At a re-
cent meeting of the county committee,
the chairman, Mr.. John v. Miller,
took matters pretty much into his own
hands, and by arbitrary and unreason-
abl decisions shaped the result o. the
meeting favorable to stalwartism. DR..
Brown and j Merrill Linn were elected
representative and senat orial delegates
respectively. The Wolfe men, who are
largely in the majority, are very indig-
nant over chairman Miller, but what
they are going to do about it does not
yet appear.

ell Elisha Kriuglo. The tramp incl
dentally spoke OF George II. Wagner,
whose barn, with all the cattle, was
burned a short sine ago, and who has
received numerous threatening Mollie
Mcguire letters recently. In the course
of conversation Kringle told the tramp
many things, W hich caused the detec-
tive to have him arrested on the Charge
of being the leader Of the Mollie Ma
guire gang who have committed many
depredations recently. He was telIi-
bly, bewildered when he found the

1t is recommended by congression-
al committee that Washington terrific
ry shall be admitted into the Union as
state, and that part Of Dakota shall
be accorded the same high dignity
Theterritory of Washintion had in 1886
population of rs, ,116, about as many
people as the Nineteenth and Thirty
first wards of the city of Philadelphia.
The whole OF Dakota at the same pc
riod contained 1876, ,177 inhabitants, a.
bout equal to the First, Fifteenth and
Thirty-frst wards Of this city. Yet
each Of these pocket states is to have
two senators, and the two inchoate
states are to be placed on ''equal foot
ing" with the states of New York and
Pennsylvania, with nine and quarter
million people. There was time when
acQuiescence in that kind of inequality
was a necessity in the formation of the
Union. 1t was tolerable then, but is
not now. If Washington territory shall
be admitted, $4,000 voters there will be
entitled to one electoral vote in Penn
sylvania. In the same way $4,000 vo-
terS more or less in Dakota are equal to
$4,000 in our. state. The pocket state

votes, cast by its legislature at that,

WAR ON SENATOR CAMERON
Senator Mitchell Captured by the
Indepenpent Republicans.

PHILADELPHIA, April Ex-senator
Mitchell's alliance With the anti-Came-
ron republicans is thought to have been
completed to-day, when he met twenty
tour out-and-out republicans at con-
ference that lasted four hours. Wolfe,
the leader OF last years revolt; Repre-
SentatiTe Mckee, chairman of the indie
pendent state committee; f. B. Reeves
and many other members of the Phila-
delphla committee OF one hundred were
active participants. The burden Of the
talk, which at times was marked by
Fahemence, was that unless the repub-
iicans cease to uphold the SpoiIs system
all the thinking republicans in the
STATE will desert it. The civil service
spokesman WAS Henry G.. Les, but all
the speeches were against any compro-
mise with Cameron. The capture of
Mitchell was deemed complete when
he was induced to appoint Wolfe, Nc
kee, John w. Lee, Bl rker and Reeves
q committee to confer with the Came
ron men, for it is recognize d that every
member of this committee is bitter in
his hatred Of Cameron and itching to
hit him hard blow. Though Mitchell
rallied at sp0ilsmen and affected to hope
for peaceful adjustment of faction
troubles, his appointment of a full
iiedged independent committee is gen
orally believed to indicate his surrender
to those whom he met to-day. Demo
Gratis are satisfied that by to-day's work
the breach between the factions is
Widened.

Fearful Cyclone in Fayette
County.

| PITTSBURG, April I.-Further re-
ports to-day show that the cyclone in
Fayette county yesterday crossed
southwest 10 the Pennsylvania Road
and destroyed timber and trees on the
Wilson, Boyle and Playford farms. 1t
uDroofed the "Disciplo Church" and
otherwise seriously damaged it. On
the Mount Pleasant Road tie house of
a widow named Miller was demolished
aud her barn carried so far that it has
not yet been found. w. G.. Lyons
property was also damaged TO the a.
mount of 81 coo. John :. DetwiIler'S
barn was unroofed and his house badly
damaged, rs was also the house, barn
and orchard of G.. ID. Atkinson, half a
mile further on. T.. HeminTer and III.
5. FreiZ suffered similar losses. The
elements seemed to gather strength as
| the stormed Travelled on. Before it
| reached Mounts creek it took an easter
ly course, and here the deadlest work
began. John Bundorff'S house was the
Hrst to succumb. Strange 10 relate,
the lower story of the house WAS swept
instantly away and the uper portion
came tumbling down.
Mr.. Bundorff was outside and wheE
he saw the storm approaching he
sought shelter inside. He was, howev-
er, oYertaken and whirled about in the
air at the mercy of the gale. His dwell
ing place was rendered ashapelesS mass
Of ruins. He relates that rails, rubbish
and timber conld be seen flying
through the air as if they came from
the clouds. Mr.. BundoYff Was struck
hy one of thes missiles just below the
small of the back. 1t penetrated an
artery and it is feared the wound is ia
tai. Joseph Glassbwn'S house was ut
terly DESTROYED, as was also lis barn. !
The last he saw of the roof Of the latter |
it was going up the mountain at light
ming speed. Nothing was left standing /
on his farm. Mr.. Glassburn's wife and |
five of the children are badly hunt. A |
half mile from Glassburn'S the storm |
struck the house of John Wingrove. He |
was about 500 yards from his home,
driving thither load of oats. He !
leaped from the wagon and ran toward |
his house. Fifty yards from the house
his wife lay dead. with her babe of e.
leven months cIasped tightly to her
bosom. She had seized her Youngest
born at the instant the storm struck
the building and had been hurled so
far that the violence deprived her of
life. The babe was unharmed.
Mr.. Wingrove's other children we're
trying frantically to eXtinguish the
flames which had caught on the cloth
ing and was consuming them. They
assert that the file burst upon them
from cloud overhead. Alexander and
Harry, two Of the boys, aged II and Is
years, respectively. haYe since died of
their injuries. The other children will
not recover. About mile
further on J. Stauffer's two houses and
Il barn were leveled to the ground.
Mrs. Stauffer was seriously injured, as
were also her two daughters The last
point IN the track, So far as can be as
was two miles beyond Stauff-
er's at Himan Hozopsnider's whose
house was carried away. Whether the /

it is impossible to state.
