Death of the Original Uncle Tom"

The Rev. Josiah Henson, Mrs.
Stoves "Uncle Tom,' died at Dresden,
Ontario on the 5th, inst
Mr.. Henson has long made the claim
that he was the original from which
this celebrated character was drawn,
and he used it for all it was worth. He
visited England few years ago in this
capacity and was presented to the
Queen. But Mrs. Stowe rather upset
this pretension by the declaration that
"Uncle Tom" was not drawn from any
one person, but was the result of her
observation and study of slavery.

The law and order committee of
Wilkes Barre, last Saturday ordered all
the saloons, two hundred and fifty in all,
to be closed on Sunday and have Off
GERS stationed to see that the law was en-
forced. The liquor dealers entered com.
plant as to the cigar stores and they
were ordered to be closed also. There
is now a bitter feeling between the
liquor dealers and cigar stores. The
latter declaring that they will see that
the Sunday liquor law is rigidly en-

With a Republican administration at

With a Republican administration al
Washington, plenty of protection tariff,
and everything else that the Republi-
can party claimed during the last Presi
dental Campaign was necessary for
the prosperity of the nation there is not
as much activity in the business of the
country as there ought to be. The great
cry OF that party in the Garfield fight
was that if Democratic President
should be elected it would be followed
by hard times. Now let them give us
the promised prosperity or acknowl
edge themselves unfit to govern free
people.

The Millheim Journal believes that
General Hancock is the only man in
the country who can lead the Demo-
Gratis to victory in 1884. The New
York SIN thinks Tilden is the man.
We do not agree with either of them.
We believe that any sound Democrat
of national reputation, with square
tariff record can be elected.

PATTIS0N AND MCCLURE.

Ever since the Inauguration of Cover
nor Pattison, the Philadelphia Times
has been villifying him for appointing
William b. Smith recorder of Philadel-
phia. A few days ago Col. Mcclure
got himself interviewed by a New York
Herald reporter, and in response to
that the Governor has made public the
following letter:

The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1883-05-18

The Patriot thus comments upon it.:
1t is complete answer to all that
Mcclure says on the subject of the re-
corder. 1t convicts him before the
country of deliberate Justification 1t
proves him unworthy of trust, and
makes anything he may say against the
governor in the future absolutely harm
less. 1t proves that every step the
Governor took, in the matter of the re-
corder, met with McClure's fullest com
mendation and approval 1t demon
strates that Mcclure believed the gov
ernor had the right to remove the ex.
citing recorder a right which he now
denies. 1t shows, also, that he approved
of the appointment of an independent
republican to the office, in advance of
any Legislative action looking to its abo-
lition, through, in the columns of his
paper, he has presistently denounced
the governor on this very ground. In
short, it proves that all for which the
governor mas been criticised by Mcclure
in the Times was unequiyocally, fully
nay, almost abjectly-assented to by
the same Mcclure in private. All Mr..
Mcclure may say, hereafter, against
Governor Pattison will he as harmless
as the bleating Of sheep or the bray
ing of an ass. The Ananias of Penn
sylvania journalism will be known in
history as Colonel A. X. Mcclure.
As to Governor Pattison, he is to be
congratulated. He remained silent a
long time under criticism which he
knew to be false and when he might, in
a moment, have silenced his accuser He
has, at last, spoken, and spoken oppor,
tunely as well as effectually. He has
completely disposed of Col, Mcclure.
He has no more to fear from that quar-
ter. In the story of Ananias in Holy
Writ these questions are asked; "Why
hath satan filled thine hear; TO lie r'
"Why hast thou conceived this thing
in thine heart p And in the sequel it
is recorded, Sand Ananas, hearing
these words, fell down and gave up the
ghost" "And the young men arose,
bound him up, and carried him out and
buried him."

MR.. CARLLSLES "SUkE TAING.n

The Hon. John G.. Carlisle, of Kentucky.
seems just now to he taking his innings on the
Speakership. lie has been little slow in
coming to the front, bat now that he is there lie
appears to be disposed TO make up in confident
assurance what lie has lacked In promptncss.
For until within few days VIC had not heard
that Mr.. Carlisle had made public announce
ment that he bad a :" sure thing" Mr.. Samuel
Cox was the first, we believe, to make this
statement concerning his own candidacy, but it
being Mr.. Cox's invariable custom 10 run for
the Speakership whenever his party has u ma
jority in the House, and to begin his canvass
with this proclamation, it had, we grievc to say
no other effect than that which Mr.. Cox so often
strives for and frequently succeeds in pro-
ducing, of exciting general smile. He held
the "sure thing" however, for several weeks,
until Mr.. Randall, who had been keeping him
self diligently in the background until his con-
nections were all made, dropped the remark
casually into "a convenient reporters ear that
he also had "sure thing" and entertained
no doubt whatever of his own election to the
Speakership. And now Mr.. Carlisle, having been
ylaid by correspondent of The Louisville
Courier journal, has suffered the confession to
Portable certainty of being the Speaker of the
next Democratic House.
Mr.. Carlisles assurance goes somewhat far
ther than this He is confident not only that
he will beat Mr. Randall, who is generally
looked upon as his most formidable opponent
in the race, but that this result will presently
become so apparent to Nr. Randall himself
that he will withdraw his name and leave the
field free. The KENTUCKY candidate is reported
to have expressed his mind with great canGor
concerning his Pennsylvania opponent, but
criticism aid compliment are so deity mixed
in the exDi cssion that there may be doubts Us to
how Mr.. Randall will view 1t upon the whole.
He considers Mr.. Randall somewhat crafty
within the lines of party organizGtion." but still
practically hon orable, and too good Democrat
to think OF seeking the Speakership at the haz-
ard of party interests.
Viewing the matter in that light he said the
present indications gave him reason to believe
that Mr.. Randall "would really not permit his
name to go before the caucus as he knows he
would suffer defeat" WodOubtif Mr.. Carlisle
can he beaten for cool assurance anywhere, even
in his own Kentucky Here is Mr.. Randall who is
generally believed to be the leading candidate
for Speaker; and, if any dependence can he
placed upon the expression of sentiment in the
party newspaper, with the odds overwhelmingly
in his favor and Mr. Carlisle calmly pats him
on the lack and puts him away with the re-
mark that lie is " too good Democrat to think
" of seeking the Speakership at the hazard of
party interests" Verify, if "cheek is to win
the race, Carlisle is not far out in counting his
chance a certainty.
Moreover, he is candidate also for United
States Senator, the Office for which the Hon. j.

they can afford to despise the monarchical CON-
spirators-their intrigues, pretensions and
vagaries.
This is a distinct gain. The readiness
on the part of Ministers and Deputies to
give way to morbid apprehensions and to re-
assure now one class and then another by des-
potic methods of repression has been one OF
the most disheartening symptoms OF public life
in France. The leaders in the present instance
have inspired courage by passing over their
adversarics in silence and disdain as too con-
temptibe to require serious attention.
