Why Not Agree to 1t ?

Last Friday at Harrisburg the Sen
ate passed the resolution previously
passed in the House, called the Ormsby
proposition, and which provides that
the Republicans shall choose Demo.
Gratis, and the Democrats shall choose
Republicans, as a conference committee
to which all apportionment bills shall
be referred for final consideration. 1t
is the same proposition made by Sena-
tor Agnew at the regular session and is
so fair that people do not understand
why it is not acted upon. 1t now
passed the Senate it seems when a
number of Republican Senators were
absent, and a motion is made to recon
slider it. But why reconsider How
can it work unfairly to either party
How can it damage the Republicans
Why then reconsider? Let it pass and
end the miserable farce now SO long
existing in the Legislature.

November 6.

Pennsylvania will hold her election
November 6, only two weeks from next
Tuesday. We have good State and
a good county ticket; and they should
be elected, and will be if the Republi-

county we hope there will be full turn

the matter. Let all awake to the i'm

IOWA ELECTION.
Republicans Garry the State.

Iowa stands firm to the Republican
cause and her election last week is some
relief to the loss of Ohio. The follow
ing is the latest from Iowa:
CHICAGO, Oct. ia special to the
Journal from Des Moines, Iowa, says:
Sherman's majority will reach 10000.
Complete returns from ffty-nine coun-
ties, which include heavy Democratic
districts, give 1890, and partial re-
turns from the remaining counties give
him $4,000. His plurality will not be
less than $4,000. The Lower House
is close. The Republicans now have
fifty-four, and the opposition forty-one.
OF the remaining five the Republicans
will get three. The Senate now stands,
Republicans, thirty-seven; opposition
eight; in doubt, five; Judge Cook is
elected to Congress in the Sixth Dis
trict by small majority. The Demo
Gratis now concede 10000 majority to
Governor Sherman.

The next National Democratic Con-

event, and almost asserts that those in
the convention wanted peace at the
sacrifice of the Union. What an in

we'll say that President Lincoln, when
he advocated peace and Instituted q
peace commission, wanted hostilities
to cease at the expense of the nation s
unity. A venal Republican is an ex.

Dorsey's contemplated expose of
some OF the true inwardness of Res
publican rascality will make choice

too extensively. However, a man
who would risk doing unlawful things
would not hesitate to fill his depleted
purse by selling the secrets of those
who came very near turning him into
a convict. He could sell his wares at
an immense profit. The old saying is
applicable in his case: Tread on

Dorsey is under no obligations to keep
the secrets of a party which deserted
him in his dire troubles. Honor

A DISPUTE arose between the Hall

the location OF fence between their

fence, Mullens attempted to remove
it, and Hall renewed him. John
Mullens, a brother, came up and
was fatally wounded, but managed to
kill Hall and Halls father before he
gasped his last. Net result: Two of
the Halls dead, two of the Mullens
family take no interest in the subse-

eral widows and orphans in the
neighborhOod. 1t does not make
much difference now where the fence

The Last RothsehiId wedding.

Beatrice. the daughter of Baron
AIphonse Rothschild, who has lust
welded with Maurice Euphrussi did
an unusual thing in marrying outside
the Rothschild family. There has
been an occasional alliance Of this
sort before, but they have been very
rare, and due to the tact that the stock
of eligible Rothschilds has sometimes
ruu short, Marriages between cousins
have been frequent, aud nepheWs have
married aunts, The enormous wealth
of the family has thus been kept to-
gether, but a labyrinth of cross unions
has resulted. which even the proud
heads Of the several branches Of
the family must find it difficult to
master. The French branch,
Of which Baron Alphonse is the
head, is given to exteFnals, and in the
splendor Of its life has no equal in
Paris, and is probably not surpassed
by that OF any royal family. Beatrice s
wedding was from the external noint
of view worthy Of the daughter Of
such a Rothschild. It occurred al
l o'clock, in the great white temple
in the Rue Victoria, All the Rabbi,
in Paris assisted in the ceremony, and
all the Jewish choirs united in sing
ing the hymns written specially fol
the occasion, with sSios on harps b.
the 6rst players. The esEamOny wa
somewhat long aud was witnessed b.
twenty five hundred friends Of tn
family. While the harps were play
ing half a dozen little girls file
through the throng and made 0 col
lection, which must have been boun
teOus, for the poor--a thing that ]
never forgotten at the festivities Q

nut, Of twenty minutes to 8 o'clock
and Miss Lucy Lakpnan, who died at
her residence in Falkland Just forty
minutes later The two had been the
most intimate friends for a number of
years. They attended the same
church, and although the former lady
was nearly old enough to be the lat
ter's mother, they were seldom seen on
the streets except together. So close
vas their friendship and love for
each other that they we're often taken
tor mother and daughter. Now comes
the strange part Of the story.
10th OF them were taken sick al
nearly the same time, and gradually
SsuA III spite OF all EFFORTS TO save
them. For the past few days they
had both been so low that the families
Femsined at home, and there was no
connection between them, and mo
word was passed from house to house

patients. About 8 o'clock Yesterday
morning Miss Lakenan, who had been
lying in drowsy stupor and pradu
ally dying, reused, and opening he,
eyes beckoned her mother TO her bed
side, and telling her to lean over
close, whispered: MRS. Moore /,

and died a few minutes later. Both
