DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.

The following call, sigued by W. U.
Hensel, chairman of the Democratic
State Committee. has just been iscued
for the Democratic State Convention:
The Democratic State Convention will
meet in the Opera House, Harrisburg, on
Wednesday, August /, at 10 A. NJ, to

THE REAL ISSUE.

N. Y. SUS: The tariff undoubtedly
will he the great issue between the par
ties next year" says John Sherman,
ave shall give it prominence this year.
We think we shall be able to do that so
early IN the campaign that, after all, the
tAriff will overtop everything else in i'm
porlance." No doubt Mr.. Sherman and
all those Republican leaders who SYM
pathizs with bSni would be very glad TO
fight the next election upon the question
of the tariff, aud every other election for
the next twenty years. This would suit
them very much better than the issue OF
reform, of txpelling the rascals who now
run riot in every department of tile Gov
ernment, OF driving away the blood suck
ers that feed upon the Treasury Of the
country, Of making the whole Admins
tration honest and decent. II the Re-
publicaps could select for themselves the
battle ground Of 1884, they would have
much better chance of winning and per-
petuating their own tenure OF power than
they can possibly have when the ground
is chosen by the people, wearied aud dis
gusted by Republican corruption in every
branch of the public service. The tariff
cannot be great issue in 1884. High
rates of duty must necessarily be imposed
upon all imported articles. Tie reduc-
ton OF the tariff to anything approaching
q free trade standard is an absolute inn
possibility. Where. then, is there any
reason which can make this an overtop-
ping point Of dispute between the partiesH
Ii the necessity Of levyipg high duties is
admitted by all, 80 that there can be no
difference in principle regarding it, how
are parties 10 contend about il? How can
q question respecting which there is no
substantial difference be made to surpass
everything else in Importance Mr..
Sherman is a smart politician, and he has
some reason to coEnt upon the fact that
in the Democratic party, as in eve:y
other, there is a proportion of foolish and
hot-headed men; but we do not think be
will be gratifed in this matter, The
great aud overtopping issue is clearing
out the den of thieves.

A MOST terrible accident occurred

A MOST terrible accident occurred on
Saturday afternoon last at Victoria Hall,
Sunderland, England. Several thousand
children had gathered there to enjoy an
entertainments There were 1000 chill
aren in the gallery and they came rush
ing down the stairway after the perform
nnce was over. At the top of the first
flight of steps was door only partially
opened. But one child could pass
through at time. At this point one OF
the little ones stumbled and fell. Then
others fell and the children above pushed
upon them. In a moment the stairway
was filled eight and ten deep with bodies.
Before they could be rescued 1s6 children
had been trampled to death or suffocated
Toe clothing was torn from many of the
victims. The news brought thousands
OF people TO the scene and the greatest
excitement prevailed. The stairway
from the gallery, at the top landing OF
which occurred the pressure which led to
the accident, was from i've to six feet
wide and the gallery door, through which
the children were allowed TO pass only
one at time-which circumstance is re-
garded rs the direct cause Of the calami.

Regular correspondence of ADVOCATE.
New YoRK, June 49, 1883.
The dullness of the summer in town
has been much relieved to the delight cf
the scandal moDgers, by the shooting of
Mrs Smith by Miss Helen Leonard in q
fit of jealousy. The hero of this escap-
ade is an old beau named Callahan, who
somehow has inspired Miss Leonard
with passion strange to comprehend
when the fact is taken iuto condsidera-
tion that he is sixty.ive years old. By
means of cosmetics and other aids to ma
ture, however, he manages to successful
ly maintain the appearance of man not
yet fifty. l shall not repeat the story of
the shooting nor what led to it, but as g
friend of Callahan's gave me some de-
tailed facts about him will repeat
them.
Callahan is not exactly lawyer, for
although he was admitted TO the bar, LIE
never practiced, Possessed Of au ample
fortune he wentinto real estate specula-
tion some years ago and loaded himself
up to an enormous xtent with property.
Then came tine crash aud Callahan could
not get from under quick enough to save
himself. He was apparently ruined be-
yond recovery, and in few days no less
Than thousand foreclosure actions
were begun against LIm. But lie is a
man of wonderful resources. HIS knowl.
edge of the law made him more than a
match for the ordinary creditor. He
fought all the cases against him mp to the
Court Of Appeal. aud meanwhile mAn-
aged to get ull the delays that he possibly
could. He INDUCED in this costly liti-
gatisn because be foresaw very plainly
that matters would right themselves
again. His confidence was justified.
While lie was lighting his creditors the
market improved and when prices bad
reached figure which suited lin he
settled, paying all his debts. and having
handsome surplus left from the income
of which lie lived.
Morally. however. be appears to be one
Of those veteran beSux that are produced
by the American haLit of living in hotels,
aud which has given birth to that dis
tinct class OF male beings known as
'hotel Washers, "and that distinct female
class termed "hotel adventuresses. A
number Of gentlemen were discussing the
Lsonard case last evening. among them
a veteran hotel keeper. The latter re.
m'rked; "although l am a hotel man
myself. and from n business point Of
view naturally desire the hotel system &c
increase, yet cannot but see that it i.
bolsd to break up the family. Il lea.vel
