Efioris OF General TgnaiieG ana
Prinse DemidOf 20 Obtain
y Reprleve for the Con-
demned NihiIists.
VICTOR EusO's MEDIATOR.

By cable to the n. Y. Hsrald.l
ST., PETERSBURG, April 4.-The
reprived Nihilists have to thank GEN
eral Ignatieff in great measure for
their escape from capital punishment
He had even hoped 70 save Soukhanoif,
and might have succeeded had not the
fresh Nihilist outrage at Odessa rem
dered his efforts unavaihng. Even
before the trial 1gnatietf had decided
to deal merciiully with the prisoners.
The Emperor also inclined to leni-
eney, but among his subOrdinates
General lgnatieff met with a great
deal of resistance. He succeeded,
however, without much difficulty in
rescuing two condemned women and
two men, who were the least deep
" implicated, though he then
feared be would be unable TO accom-
plish more. He still persevered with
his work Of mercy. just then Victor
Hugo's toast, publicly thanking the
Emperor for reprieving FIVE of the
prisoners, appeared in the papers.
These words were an inspiration to
General Ignatief. He Immediately
communicated them to the Emperor,
who seemed much fattered BY them.
He then resolved to make another
effort on behalf OF the FIVE untor.
Inmates still unpardoned, and after
consulting with Prince Demidorf, of
San Donate, he determined 10 have
resources once more to Victor Hugo's
mediation. The Prinse left for Paris
without delay with a letter Of intro
ductisn to Nine. Z lmond Adam,
who had been his guest in St. Pc
tersburg.
VICTOR HUGO S MEDIATION.
Through this lady he was placed in
communication with the poet. The
Prince arrived in Paris on Sund4y
morning. On Monday evening he
started for St. Petersburg, bearing a
letter from Victor Hugo to the En-.
peror No sooner had he read the
missive than, to the intense surprise
OF the courtiers, the Gar granted
pardon to five more prisoners. Thus
only Lieutenant Soukhanoff was ex
eluded from the benefit of the imperial
clemeney. Being an officer, his crime
was considered exceptionally heinous
Prince Demidorff set to work again,
hoping to bring about q merciful revuI.
sion of feeling in his favor. He
began BY petitiOning that Soukhanoff
might be shot, net hanged. His re-
quest was granted. he next arranged
With General Iguatieff to let all the
preparations for the execution con
tinue. and at the last moment it was
agreed that the General should 20
down to Gatsehina and make su
preme effort to wiring a reprieve from
the Emperor. Had their plan not
been upset, Soukhanoff would have
had his pardon read to him on the
very place of his intended execution,
as he stood with his eyes bandaged
awaiting death. All the necessary
arrangements to this effect had been
made when news came of the assassi-
nation Of General Strotnikof, at
Odessa. Pardon was now Of course
out Of the question, and Soukhanoff
was lett to his fate.

to be very sorry that he was ever visited

THE North american asks whether
honesty is a rarity "that the claims Of
the Democratic candidate for governor
upon the favor Of the people are chiefly
based upon the statement that he is an
honest man." We unhesitatingly an
swer that honesty and courage combined,
such As Mr.. Pattison possesses, have,
unhappily, become rarity in public
officials. The Philadelphia people found
them to be such a valuable possession
that after Mr.. Pattison's exhibition Of
them in remarkable degree they re
elected him controller on the Democratic
ticket by over thirteen thousand ma
jority, though at the same election Gar.
field had twenty, five thousand majority.

says. that the ''Otlice in which Mr.. Pat
tison las won his spurs is clerical and
calls for no more than ordinary execu-
tive ability" 1t calls for great deal
ofexecutive ability, good judgment and
vigorous honesty. To the exercise of
these qualities in its administration by
Mr.. Pattison Philadelphia owes a reduc-
tion of its debt, of its expenses and of
its tax rate for the first time in years.
That is why the people Of the whole
state want him.

John Ridley, a wealthy drover, residing
in Philadelphi is tho owner Of several
fast horses, among which was Wbitefield,
who has record Of 2:3l, vaucd at $500.
On "Wednesday last, about noon, a son
Of Mr.. Ridley, known as TOD" en-
tered the blacksmith shop Of Edward
Fisher, at 1907 Uber street. leading
the trotter. He informed Mr.. Fisher that
the horse was suffering from contraction
of the cord of one OF the hind legs and
asked permission to (" fire" him. This
treatment consists OF touching the cuticle
over the cord along the leg at intervals
with rcd-hOt iron. Upon permission be-
ing given, the young man tied tho animal
to Il post and, enlisting the services
Of man to hold the horse, began
the operation. The horse stood the
burning for a short time, when he
suddenly gave leap and broke away from
the man and the rope which he was Sc
cured. Wild with pain Whitefield reared
and dashed one of his forefeot through the
glass sash of door, cutting the back cord
and plate vein. Veterinary Surgeon
Lovettee, of Broad aud Parrish streets,
was called in, but advised the owner to
kill the horse which was done.
A prominent veterinary surgeon upon
being questioned about he cause of the
horse breaking away stated that probably
the operation was performed by one who
did not understand it and the iron had
perhaps burned through the cuticle into
tho cellular tissue, which made the animal
mad with pain.

STATE TREASURER BAILEY seems to
have entrusted $65, 900 to one of his per.
sOnal and political friends who was the
weak and corrupt cashier of a bank in
VenangO county. Politician Craft, in
stead of putting the money into his hank
put it into his pocket, and when his de-
falcation is discovered the responsible
authorities of the bank exempt them
selves by saying that they never
had it and are not liable for it.
The state treasurer seems to have
given the use of it to his per.
sonal and political friend, because of
his personal and political relations with
it, and if he holds no obligation for it
from the bank he will be the loser of
many times the legitimate salary of his
Office. From which and the experience
of former state treasurers, it is manifest
that this is not desirable office to hold.
The people who get it generally have
friends who expect to get control of part
of the money, and the treasurer has such
loads of it on hand that he can hardly
help obliging them. Few of them have
escaped some friend like Craft, whose
indulgence in speculation led to his loss

LABOK'S DEMANDS.

A Strike Endod-LabOr Delegates En- Route.
As result Of the interview between
Secretary Howard, Of the Spinners' union,
and Treasurer Fenner, of the Slade mill,
ut Fall River, the difficulty that caused
the strike Of the spinners last week was
amicably adjusted and the strikers will
return to work tomorrow.
The Pittsburgh delegates and those from
the East left for Chicago, where the seventh
annual meeting of the national lodge of
the Amalgam ted Iron and Steel Workers
association will be held, commencing on
Tuesday. Two hundred and fifty dele
gates will be present, and it is generally
believed that action will be taken which
will have au important bearing on the
great iron strike. The officers Of the as
sociati0n deny this, however, and say that
the only power that can deal with the
strike in delegate convention called for
that purpose.
All the freight depots at New York, ex.
cept the Union Star transportation COM
pany, were closed on Saturday, and there
was not 4 sign of the strike along the river
front.
Ata meeting on Sunday, of the Central
Labor unions in New York, it was decided
by the conference that the trainers and
mas0ns should exchange black lists of en-
plOyers who hired non union men, and
that all the union men should unite to
boycott in each other 8 interest. .

DCIuOCTUC.
After twenty years of continuous defeats,
the heroic fortitude, perseverance and
patriotism of the Democratic party, are
about to be rewarded by victory. Every
one who wishes to join in its honor and
triumph, must be enrolled in its ranks.
The decentralization and divided ranks of
our antagonists, place a brilliant victory
clearly within our reach. Let us grasp it.
1t is now, in the power of the Democracy,
to wrcst the government from the hand of
the spoiler, and restore the administration
to its original purity, efficiency and honor.
The celebration of this victory in Novem-
Der, will fill the country with satisfaction
and enthusiasm. Those who prepare
themselves to vote and actively aid in ac-
complishing the victory, will be the hon
ored guests at the celebration.
To make sure of this participation every
man should see that he is duly registered
before Thursday, Sept. 7th. Neglect of this
may be fatal.

Chairman Cooper has been boasting
gleefully that the Labor Greenback
ticket can be manipulated to help Beaver.
To newspaper reporter the other day he
declared Armstrong; s support will he drawn
mainly from the Democrats. In 1878
Quay played that game successfully. He
hired men to organize Greenback lodges
and paid his agents to get Democrats to
vote the third ticket while their Republi-
can associates, by prearraDgemcnt, voted
for HOyt. That scheme succeeded because
it was worked secretly. The plot to betray
the Labor cause this year has been exposed.
The honest candidates and leaders in that
cause will not allow themselves to be sold
out. ..
The lab0ring men of Assembly ca of the
Knights of Labor, of Philadelphia, have
declared as follows
"WHEREAs, 1t has been rumOred that
attempts have been made and are being
made in certain sections of the State to
purchase the votes of members of Knights
of Labor organizations in the interest of !,
certain political party; therefore be it
''ResOtred, That We, the members of As
sembly "a, Knights of Labor, do hereby
protest against all such attempts as preju-
dicial to the honor of our order, to the cause
of free labor and to good government.
Resolred, That We advise all true
Knights of Labor throughout the State of
Pennsylvania to rcpudiate and spurn all
unholy advances from the paid emissarics
Of political managers of whatever party, to
the end that no stigma shall attach to our
order or to the cause for which We are Or
ganized." '-E
If Democratic leaders and newspapers
all over the State properly sound the alarm
the "paid emissaries" who are making the
"unhOly advances will be scared off. Po-
litical tricks and chicanery need conceal
ment and hide in darkness. Publicity and
exposure wither them. Wherever it is
sought to buy, brlbe or bulldoze the Ia
boring men let the bribers and bulldozers
be exposed.
