IT is no doubt Il graceful thing on
the part of Senators Vest, of Missouri,
and Maxey of Texas, to stand up stout
ly for the arrears of pensions bill. In
the Senate on Wednesday Mr.. Vest
said he had been Confederate honest
ly and earnestly, with his whole soul
devoted to the success of that cause
which surrendered at AppomattOx. He
mentioned that piece of personal his
tory, only that he might state in the
most emphatic manner and in his
place, that he had accepted the full
and legitimate results Of that surren-
der without qualification, evasion or
Limitation. All he had ever asked, all
the people of the South ask, is that
they might be believed to have been
honest in their devotion to the COnfed-
crate cause, and honest in their state
ment that they accept all the legitimate
consequences of it's defeat. One of the
inevitab ble evidences and legitimate
consequences of the success of the Un-
ion arms was the payment of pensions
and bOunties to the men whose valor
and herOism gave victory to the Union
cause The people who would not thus
reward the sacrifice of life and limb
for the nations life would deserve tO
be stricken from the map Of christen-
dom. Mr.. MaXey re-ecll0ed thlS SEN
timert. But at least both of these
gentlemen should not flatter them
selves that they have modified in new
er SO slight Il degree the party bigOtry
of the other side. Each will continue
10 be a "rebel brigadier" in the par
lance of the Republicans. Mr.. Maxey
seemed to appreciate this somewh hat
for he said lie was surprised the other
day TO hear the Senator from Kansas
(Mr. Ingalls) charge that the introduce
ton of the repeating bills in the House
10y former Confsderates was suspi-
ciOus circumstance. He believed this
however, to be in accordance with the
custom OF the Republican side to i'm
pugn the motives of the minority. We
have another case in point. According
to some of the Washington cOrrespon'
dents, the failure to raise more than
81, ,OOC for the founding of the Gar
field Memorial Hospital " is due TO the
fact that prominent persons objected
to the prominence assumed in the mat
ter by certain ex-COnfederates. That
shows what bigotry can do.-Plain

In 1880 there were in the United
States $4,000. 900 of population, about
Is, ,OOO, 600 of whom were engaged in
various occupations. OF these about
8, ,OOO, 600 were engaged in agriculture,
who purchased clothing, household
ware, tools, agricultural implements,
etc., at a cost of 81 600, 600, 900. OF this
large amount, 434 per cent. is Tariff
tax, and foots up the enormous sum OF
1896 ,OCO, 600, of which about $40, 900, ,O0O
goes to the government, and $626, ,OOO,- :
600 as a bounty, to the manufacturer.
Few will be able to realize the truth OF
these figures, and yet when analyzed
they will be found to be approximately
correct. Let it be remembered that
these 100000 agriculturists represent
nearly q ,OOO, 900 of our population. II
is estimated that they will use annual
ly, OH an average, each $67, 90 worth ol
clothing, tools, machinery, iron, fur
niture, etc. If they do, the aggregate
makes the figures above given. This
would make the per capita tax ovel
$25, 90. But let each person figure this
matter out for himself. Let him figure
up the cost of the articles which he
purchases during the year, on which
there is tariff duty (and he can hard
ly go amiss in including everything
he wears and uses), and then find wha
ABB per cent. 1.-THE average duty levied
is of that sum, and he will have the
Tariff tax he pays, 10 per cent. o
which goes to the government, and 9,
per cent. as a bounty to certain manu-
facJurers.-( Elk.

a special to the Enquirer from Clar-
mont, Illinois, dated the 10th inst.
gives the following sad picture of des-
titution prevailing in Southern Illi-
nois:
Your correspondent was startled on
Saturday by a well-to-dO farmer, own
ing sixty acres of land, well improved.
unincumbered, offering any one a
mortgage on the whole place for loan
OF 800, by which he could secure the
necessaries to hvld body and soul to-
gether until he could raise crop.
With his proud heart he had sacri-
feed everything that would bring even
q penny before he would ask for help
from the county. We have hundreds
of families in the same position, and
as the county has done all it could, in
a legal, constitutional way, we are now
aompeiled to call upon those who have
G surplus tn remember US in time oil
great need.
When lAansas called for help we re-
spOnded ut once, and now we can feel
the grim wolf at our doors.
We have sold all our cattle, includ-
ing horses, cows, sheep aud hogs, as
we had NOT food for them. The spec
ulators of the North have taken the
advantage of the failure in the crops
and cornered the corn, SO that we are
not able to obtain enough for our stock
th"t we have to keep to run our farms
with.
our officials are receiving daily pc
titiOns from various parts OF our town
ship asking for help, and we appeal te
all mankind in behalf of the sufferers
to lend - helping hand by sending u:

WHAT is the Legislature doing with
c. Fosters three propositions thatwe
to settle the liquor question forever,
and put a stop to the evils of intem-
perance The Republicans have q
clear majority of nearly two-thirds in
both branches of the Legislature, and
though six weeks of the session are
gone, they don't seem to be in any
hurry to move upon the enemy's
works. When they adjourn without
having accomplished anything, will
they be able to humbug the temper
ance people next Fall, by claiming to
be the only true friends of the cause
but that they were prevented from ac
complishing any reform in the matter
on account of the opposition of th'
wicked whisky Democrats ?"

THAT just public policy which is
best for the whole country, is best for
every good and honest citizen.
The only rightful purpose for which
our government can constitutionally
tax the American people is for revenue.
This is to obtain more money to carry
ON the government and pay the debts
of the same.
Every member of Congress and eve
ry officer of the government takes an
oath to support and maintain the con-
stitution. And about the first thing
some of them do, is to disregard its
plain provisions and tram2ie that in
strument under foot.
The object and purpose Of the con-
stitutiOn was and is to establish jus.
tice," &c. There is no justice If the
men running the government vote the
money of the people by millions into
the pockets Of few favorites. This
is done under the protective tariff

A big OIL Fire.

BRADFORD, PA, February ia
spark from a locomotive on the Buffa-
10, New York and Philadelphia Rail-
way, this evening set fire to little pools
of oil in the low ground near Olean,
n. Y, where tho united pipe lines
have u number of large iron tanks To-
Gated. a few momeuts after the pools
of oil were set on fire the flames were
communicated to three iron tanks con
tanning in all 105.O50 barrels of oil,
which are now i'm flames.
Pipe line mon from all sections of
the oil region have been summoned by
wire to the scene of the fire. Super
intendents Snow and Smedley, with
large force of men, left Bradford by a
special fast-running train. They took
picks, shcvels, cannon, and chemical
| fire extinguishers. Trenches and en-
bankments will be formed to prevent
the spread of the burning oil when the
/ overflow occurs, which will be at or
| o'clock in the morning.
ADDITIONAL DANGERS.
Olean creek runs near the scene of
the fire, and there are great fears that
the oil will strike the surface of the
stream and destroy q number OF rail-
road bridges and houses near the banks
of the creek.
The oil will be drawn off as rapidly
as possible by perforating the tanks
with a cannon ball. The night is as
bright as day for several miles abou,
the tanks. What the result will be
cannot now be cOnjectured.
FIRE AT CLEAN.

Joseph Bromley was here few
weeks back, and he says he will have
the Sheriffs sale of his property set
aside because it went too cheap. Why
not? If Judge Arrel can set aside a

the property deos not bring enough
This might make more business for

who takes hand in litigation.

about four miles south OF Huron, and
plunged into the river. There were
two coaches containing about fifty
passengers. Both coaches went into
the water, which was about ten feet
deep Sixteen passengers were injured
by being thrown against the ear and
bruised by seats. None were danger
ously hurt. The coaches did not turn
upside down, and the passengers easily
made their escape.

A report is abroad that a respectable
citizen residing at the Center has been
imposed upon by sharper. The story
goes as follows: One day not long
since, plausible looking fellow called
at this citizens house, announcing
that he had some business in the line
of borrowing money or discOuntlng
notes. He was told by the lady of the
house that the gentleman whom he
wished to see was very ill Of'sick head
ache. and unable to transact any busi-
ness, being confined to his bed. The
stranger, probably with an air of fa-
miliarity, asked to he allowed to see
the invalid, SO the lady conducted him
to the room. Having gained admis-
sion. he presented his business, but
was told by the sick man that if it
profited him a thousand dollars he
would be unable to comply, as he felt
too miserable. Upon this the stranger
seemed touched with compassion and
| began to advise nostrums for the NAL
ady, relating that his grandfather, or
uncle, or somebody, had similar
complaint, aud thst they used GER
tain quack medicine, by which they
were cured. He proposed to send our
friend bottle when he returned to his
home. This seemed kind in the stran-
ger, and our friend WAS easily induced
to write his name on blank piece OF
paper for the benefit of the strangers
memory, rs he pretended, SO that he
would know the name of the man ia
whom he WAS to send the favor. The
favor turned out to be a bottle of guack
medicine in the form of a negotiable
promissOry note for 500 or $500, now
held by an innocent purchaser.

THE Republicans are preparinp f

THE Republicans are preparing for
a wholesale disfranchisement of DEM
ocratic voters in the Northern States,
in the new Congressional apportiOn-
meHt. Thus, in Ohio, which will have
twenty-One instead of twenty repre-
sentatives, a scheme has been devised
at Columbus to give the Republicans
fifteen Congressman and the Demo-
Gratis six. According to the vote of
October, 1880, which was fair and
full test of party strength, the Repub-
1icans had 364. 900 votes and the DEM
ocrats 34l 900. In other words the
moral and conscientious Republicans
of Ohio propose by legal gerrymander-
ing to steal and suppress votes, so that
while it will take seventy thousand
democratic voters to elect Congress
man, twenty-four thousand Republi-
can voters will also be able tn elect a
Congressman And instead of being
ashamed of this rascality, they brag
oft. But then, Ohio is the State OF
Hayes and of the latter day gospel of
cant.-IEx.
