SENATOR oAMERoN's AFFAIRS.
Preparing for His Trip Abroad-His Health
and Prospects.
Harrisburg Special.

Harrisburg Special.
Senator Cameron is rapidly improving, and
has good reason to look for the restoration of
his usual vigor if he can take rest and let
nature work out its own cure. He has suf-
fered long and severely from the malady
that eliminated in the recent surgical opera
ton, and he unwisely delayed the heroic
treatment necessary to restore his health.
He was compelled to use opiates freely for
months to obtain sleep, and his system is
much shattered by the disease and the rem
edy he so long applied. He is in good spirits,
and quite hopeful that his European trip will
full restore him to health. Heexpects to sail
in May. Senator Cameron is practical man
in business as well as in politics, and he is
freely considering the paramount claims of
his business affairs upon his time and efforts.
His wealth has been greatly over-estimated.
Instead of being worth several millions, as
has been believed, he is hardly millionaire,
and it is not a secret that his personal affairs
have been neglected ever since he entered
the Grant cabinet. Since then he has solely
devoted everything to his own personal pro-
motion, and it has been very costly, not
only in actual expenditure of money, but
also in neglected business operations. 1t is
safe to say that Senator Cameron is now
worth $500 900 less than he was seven years
ago, when he departed from the I'LL then
settle purpose of his life never to accept pub
lie Office.
Since then every political campaign has
cost him largely, and his shrewd business
qualities have been practically withdrawn
from his various business operations. The
visit of Harry Oliver to Cameron has given
rise to much speculation in political circles,
and with good reason. He is Camerons
political successor if Cameron retres, and it
is among the possibilities that Cameron may
retire at the end of his term and perpetuate
his supremacy by the election of Oliver as
his successor. Cameron is certainly inclined
to more quiet life, that will give rest and
health and enable him to restore his some
what shattered fortune; but he will not de-
eide upon his abdication until he returns
from Europe and looks over the field. Ii he
does decide to retire, Oliver will be his can
ddate for the succession. He is in Phila-
delphia to-day making preparations for his
trip abroad.

CoNvICTs IN REVOLT.

A telegram from Jefferson City,
Mo-, says the convicts in the peoi'
Tertiary had just returned to their
shops from Denver, when a precon
certed mutiny broke out in the hsr
ness shop of Jacob Strauss & Co
Four convicts seized Van Horn, the
foreman of the collar snop, and told
him to remain quiet. -Four other
convicts seized Snyder, the foreman
of the harness shop, and stripped
him of his clothes. John B. John
son, the ringleader, and highway
robber, who is serving sentence OF
twelve years, ran into the depart
ment where horse collars are stuffed
and set a lot of loose straw on fire.
10 a moment the building with its
three shops, harness, collars and
whips, were on fire. Great contu-
sion eDsued. The guards ran in
with hose and was met by the con-
victs, who cut the hose. The ring
leader, Johnson, then made an eff
fort to escape over the walls, but
despite the fact that he had knife
and club, he was captured and put
in a dungeon. His seven compan-
ions were also confined in dark cells.
The fire was got under control, but
not until the following shops were
completely destroyed: Strauss q
Co.'s harness shop, collar shop and
whip factory, loss 100000; Gil
enck's boot and shoe shop, loss $50,
600; Mysenburg'S shoe shop, loss
$4,000; the State weaving and
State machine shop, loss $4,000,
aid the Excelsior loom factory, loss
$4,000. The total loss, with the
damage to the minor State buildings,
will reach 100000.

MIR. CLEMENTS SPEECH.

The bill appropristing Sl0,OOO,-
900 year for five years to aid pub-
lie education came very name pass
ing the House last Saturday. Mr..
Clements made fine speech for it
and commanded the attention Of the
entire house. He was interrupted
several times with objections to the
bill, bat 10 every instance he either
explained them away or offered sim
pie amendments to remedy them.
He has studied the subject thor
oughly, and has been among the
most earnest advocates of the bill in
Congress. The impression was made
somehow that no vote would be had
on the bill on Saturday and many oil
its friends left after Mr.. Clements
speech. Mr.. Clements and Mr.
Willis urged vote, but Mr.. Page
moved to adjourn and on call of yea
and pays this was carried by only
one vote. The bill will hardly come
up again during this session, as thi
session expires on the 4th day o
March.

TAX ON DEADLY WEAPONS.

We have been frequently asked
about the provisions of the tax act
which relates to pistols. Section Is
of the general tax act says: "And
upon all dealers in pistols, revolvers
dirks, bowie knives, the sum of
twenty five dollars for each place of
business in each county where the
same are sold, and said tax shall be
for educational purposes. The tax
provided by this paragraph shall be
assessed against all dealers in the
articles herein enumerated on and
after the first day of April, 1888,
and such dealers shall not be liable
for said tax of twenty five dollars
prior to the first of April, 1885,"

CONFESSION.

RERDELL's confession of the star
route conspiracy is creating a seosa-
ton in Washington ; not that he ia
telling anything strictly new, for the
public had anticipated all bis revela-
lions, but there pertains to'his talk
the fruity flavor that the public de-
tects 10 the ante norton declaration
of a convicted murderer. Miner,
another oOnspiratOr, is expected to
turn States evidence when be TAX es
the stand, but the Washington pub
lie knowing the tricks 10 the trade of
the law, is divided in opinion as to
probability of the conviction of the
arch couspirators, Dorsey and Bra
dy. But whatever may be the yer
diet of the jury, the conspiratoreare
wrecked in fortune and character.
The cost of the trials has eaten up
their i'll gotten gains, and a tragic
touch is given the case by the sui
eide of the wife of one of the defen'
dants.

RESPONSIBILITY.

Persons who wish to seud tele~
graphic messenges will find, as a
rule, upon the blanks on which they
are required to write, a provision
printed 10 fine type to the effect that
the company will not be responsible
for damage resulting from mistak es
in transmission unless the sender
pays extra to have the message re-
peated, and the fact thereby estab-
lished that it has been correctly re-
ceived. An interesting question
has arisen in New Orleans upon the
validity end effect of such provis>
ion, in a case in which message to
Atchison, Kansas, that was incor-
rectly transmitted, caused loss Of
four cents a bushel on twelve car
loads of corn. Upon suit to recover
the damage thus sustained, the com
pany alleged for defence that the
sender had not paid for repetition
of the message, and that he had
written it so badly as to excuse the
operator for making mistake in it.
The court decided that the company
bad the right to insist upon a repeti.
ton of message as condition OF
being held liable for mistakes, but
that such a provision would not ex>
cuse mistakes arising from the neg
ligence of employees and the omis-
sion of the operator to have the bad
ly written message explained to him
was adjudged to have heen negli~
gence.
In this decision the Court follow
ed the rule that is often laid down
in large class of cases, that no cor
poration will be permitted to pro,
tect itself by contract against iss
own negligence. That would be
to public policy.

with conceit, and anxious to make
money. His case really deserves
some COMMUNICATION. He is hand
some, polished, and combination of
talent and weakness He made a
good start in Congress, was battered

INFoRMERS.

1t is impossible not to detest such
characters as the two informers who
are just now so conspicuous 10 Ireland
and America-Carey in Dublin and
Rerdell 10 Washington.
In each case the story of the in
former demonstrates guilt on the part
of others, aud both guilt and treach-
cry on the part of the witness him>
self. While the very existence of
such men seems in one aspect q
reproach to humanity, the liability Of
criminals to betrayal by their asso>
ciates in crime is, indeed, no slight
safeguard to society.
Carey shows us that there 10 no
fidelity among the assassins, Just as
RerdelI shows us that there is 90
honor among thieves. And when all
men of criminal instincts and ten
denotes once thoroughly understand
everywhere that each comrade in
crime will prove traitor IT only the
temptation is great enough, conspir'
acies will cease.
The wisdom of permitting often
ders to escape punishment by turn
ing States evidence has often beer
doubted. The strongest argumen
in favor of the practice il the feel
ing of insecurity which it arouse'
among criminals. They know thu
the Government is usually disposed
to deal gently with the accomplish
10 order to punish the principal
and this knowledge is doubles
check upon upon crimes which in
volve concerted action.

ATLANTA TO BE FENCED IN.

A curious result of the fence law
is disturbing Atlanta just now. The
la is that when a county district
passes the stock law the county
authorities shall a once have the
district fenced in. Atlanta sits in
the midst of nine districts that have
passed the law and the Com
mssioners have advertised for %
miles of fencing ten rails high stalk
ed and ridered to enclose these dis
tricts. AS a matter of course feuc>
ing the boundaries of tbese district
that connect to Atlanta will make a
CONTIGUOUS fence around the city.
1t is provided that there shall be
suitable gates where each fence
crosses a public road. The Peacb>
tree people are Mortified to tbiak
that just beyond Mr.. Peters elegant
residence there shall be rail fence
and that every carriage must stop
until the gate is opened, but the
law is very, very explicit and the
Commissioners are going right
ahead.
