IMPORTANT TO ALL.--The most
general complaint that seems to spare
neither class nor condition of person,
is seated in the liver. Many, with
woe-begone countenances, respondent
spirits and depressed feelings, exag-
gerate every event until even suicide
has been known to result from this
morbid condition of body and mind,
yet Simmons Liver Regulator is known
TO be a specific for affections of the
Liver, Spleen and Kidneys. Unlike
most preparations it fully meets the
wants of the patient whose liver or
stomach is disorganized, and soon re-
stores the emaciated and spiritless dys-
peptic sufferer to a more hopeful con-
dition of life than he could otherwise
hope to attain.

Roasted Alive.

ELMIRA, N. Y, Dec. 6.-The terri
Bile accident on the Lehigh Valley
Railroad, at Rummerfield Station,
forty-five miles south of here, occur
red at 4 o'clock in the morning. A
s~outhbound freight train stood on a
siding waiting for the north-bound
express train to pass. Owing to a
confusion of signals, the latter train
was thrown upon this east track In
the crash that followed the passenger
locomotive mounted the freight
wreck, and was in turn mounted by
the express car next to it. The fire
occurred five minutes after the crash.
Engineer Wharen, of the express
train. received severe injuries, and
his fireman, Davis, was probably
fatally hurt. Engineer Fauske, of
the freight train, was pinioned in his
cab. He saw the flames spreading
around him, and called to the train
hands to cut away the cab. His
right leg could not be extricated. and
it was evident to those about him
that he must roast to death. There
was no water at hand with which to
subdue the flames, and he met his
death by inches, but brsvely and
with comparative calmness. Hours
afterward his charred remains were
found, and also those of his fireman,
Leander Kinsman. Both were from
Waverly, n. Y. Amongthe slightly
injured are Baggage Master Smith
and Express Messenger Lerch, of
Easton.

DURING the late political canvass,
when we, in common with other Re-
publicans, urged upon the people
the probable injury to our industrial
interests that would follow Demo.
cratic success, we were denounced as
alarmists, were told that the tariff
was not an issue in the campaign,
and the declaration was constantly
made that protection was as safe In
Democratic as it was in Republican
hands. Manufacturers and produ-
GERS all over the State, who had
millions at stake, stood idly by, APP
parently lulled into security by this
siren song, forgetting that to the Re-
publican party they owed the
maintenance of a tariff under which
they have been SO prosperous, and
permitted that party to be defeated,
or Joined in its defeat. But a brief
month has passed since the election
and already the steel and iron in
dustries of the country are paralyzed;
mills are closing or are running on
hall time, stocks of steel rails and
other products are accommodating,
wages are being largely reduced, and
thousands of workmen, at the com
mencement of a dreary winter, find
themselves ont of employment. The
mere fact of Democratic success has
wrought this sudden change. Free
trade journals and politicians are
clamo-ing for a general reduction of
duties, the boldest of them proclaim
ing that the Democratic doctrine is
a tariff for revenue only" and sau-
ely and contemptuously telling
Pennsylvania Democrats that they
must accept this ultimatum or leave
the party, as the Democracy can get
along without the keystone State.
If the mere uncertainty of what is
to come, has induced prudent bust
ness men to curtail their business,
husband their resources, and prepare
for threatened evils, some conception
may be formed of the probable stag
nation of all manufacturing indus
tries, and the consequent suffering
of the laboring classes. during the
coming year. and until after the next
Congress meets, when Democratic
free-trade policy will be put in force
by legislation.
People who were misled by
scheming demagogues, under the
specious cry of putting down the
bosses" into assisting to overthrow
the Republican party, may well in
quire of themselves if they have not
paid too dear for their whistle.

Ak the Democratic papers in the
State with but one exception, the
Clarified Republican, ex-senator
Wallace's home organ, are in favor
of the Democratic Senators uniting
with the Independent Senators and
electing John Stewart President pro
tenn. The Philadelphia Record puts
the matter thus:
at is not to the interest of the
Democratic party to assist in weld
ing together the divided opposition.
They should, on the contrary. widen
the breach by supporting Senator
Stewart Here the Democratic
policy is plainly laid down. widen
the breach" between the two factions
of the Republican party and con-
tinue to divide and conquer" Re-
Republicans who have the interest
of their party at heart should ponder
the situation well. If the party of
Lincoln and Garfield is to be per-
petuated and successful we must,
instead of fighting each other. close
up the lines and face the Democra-
CIV with united front.

THERE'S a class of political hum
bugs in this country who are going
around just now claiming that the
late Republican defeats were a "glo-
rious vindieation of Garield's mem
ory." President GarGeld's memory
needs no vindieation, and if it did
the results of the last election were
far from "a vindication. The last
election placed in power the party
which President Garfield opposed
from the time he first had a vote
until the day be was stricken down
by an assassin's bullet,an drove from
power the party whose most stead
fast and consistent supporter he had
ever been. The recent election gave
new life and force to all the perni-
cious doctrines and political heresies
which he had so powerfully combat
ted during his entire public career,
and thrust aside those vital and glo-
rious principles which he had un-
%swerVingly held and maintained.
The last election dragged in the dust
of defeat men who had fought by
his side on the battlefield and who
had manfully labored with him for
the supremacy of the Republican
and for his elevation to the
Magistracy of this Nation, and
placed the reins of political power
in the hands of those men and of
that party which bat two years ago
denounced him as a convicted
and a 'bribetaker," and who,
when abuse and lies seemed to fail,

ger, and laid the infamous Morev
Ietter before the voters of this coun-
try. And yet these charlatans 90

Butchered by Savages.

Particulars have been received
here of a slaughter by Juh and hi.
band, near the town of Casas Gran
des, in the State of chihuahua, Mex
leo, of Americans and Mexicans,
Juh. who. with his followers, has
been committing various depreda-
tons for some time past, went TO the
ranches of the -Politico of Caliano
and some others and stole many
head of sheep and cattle. The Po-
litico and other sufferers then gath
cred a band of about thirty men and
started after the Indians. They
came upon them before they knew
Juh aud his band we're anywhere
near and were Immediately sur
rounded by the Indians in the Arovo.
The Politico, as soon as he saw the
number of the Indians, which was
over two hundred, dispatched one
of his men for assistance.
The mali managed to get through
the lines and reached Gallians.
There he got together about seventy
men and started at once for the
scene of the troubles. Juh sent out
a party who engaged them in a fight
and prevented the relieving party
from joining the Politico. The
rescuers saw the slaughter of their
unfortunate friends, but could do
nothing for them. Every one of the
Politico's party, with the exception
of the man who went for succor. was
butchered by the savages. The In
dams then retreated to the Sierra
Madre. When the friends of the
victims went out to bury the dead
they found not far from the spot
where the massacre occurred the
of five Americans, who had
also fallen victims to the Indians.
Two OF the Americans, it has been
since learned, were from, Grant
county, New Mexico. Their names
were James Biggs and w. Mcdowell.

there will be a diversity of opinion
as to whether at present all the in
ternal revenue taxes, except those
collected from spirits, can be spared ;
there will be substantial agreement
on the point that all else, except
those on s~piritueus and malt liquors
and on tobacco, should be wiped
out. These three articles are not
necessities but luxuries, and should
be the last to be relieved of taxation,
and with all the othertaxes repealed,
much of the necessary machinery
and many of the officials employed,
could be dispensed with, and thus
the expenses be largely reduced
His doubts as to the wisdom of a
sweeping repeal of all these taxes,
now being demanded by featherhead
editors and politicians, will, we
doubt not, be shared by a large ma
.jority in Congress, when the subject
is coolly weighed and calmly dis
cussed.
AS last year, Congress is urged
to legislate in the interest of real
civil service reform, and to provide
a way and the means, to render a
reform practicable.
The session is necessarily a short
one, too short in fact, to ~legislate
carefully upon these important
measures, but the country will ex-
pect an honest effort made to effect
at least tax reduction and tariff re-
vision.

old daughter of Mrs. George Fahnel,
Kreidlersyille, this county, was so
badly burned last Friday night that
she died in half an hour afterwards.
The mother went to a neighbours
house, leaving her three little chill.
dren alone at home eating walnuts.
As the oldest child was throwing
the shells into the stove her clothing
caught fire and she was horribly
burned. No one was present to as
sist the little one, and the cries OF
the other two attracted the attention
of neighbors, who arrived too late to
save her life. The other two chill
dren were uninjured.
