A Chorus OF 500 VOices-Ths, Programme
and speeches.

The musical jubilee which is now i'm ses
sion in Selinsgrove, Snyder county, has
proved to be one of the most notable events
of the kind that has ever taken place in
central Pennsylvania. A chorus of over
500 voices participated in the opening ex
ercises. Many distinguished persons from
all sectiOus of the state were present, as
we'll from Boston and New York. The
town is full to overlooking. Everything
bespeaks i grand success. Choral socis
cites from all the adjacent counties are
here in numbers ami each incoming train
adds to the crowds. The programme
presented this evening was ono Of exceed
ing brilliancy. Various and pleasing at
fractions woro given by the specialists,
Walter Emerson, cOrnctist Helen E. II.
Carter, soprano Mrs. NJ. d. Shepard,
pianist; all of Boston, and Professor W.
J.. Meyer, pianist, of Pennsylvania.
The chOruses consisted, in part, Of selec-
tions from Men;lclssohn, Mozart, Haydn,
Verdi. Handel and Perkins. A. w. Pot
ter, president of the association, in short
address explained the absence of Judge
Bucher, who was to have presided, bnt
unexpectedly was called South on pressing
business. Governor Pattisor, who was
to have made the opening address, sent
letter in which he said the great press of
business consequent upon the adjourn
ment of the Legislature and the unex

necessitated by the extra session compel
led him to remain at his post of duty.

THE refusal of the court of claims to
grant rehearing in the case of the cadet
engineers against the government, re-
Gently decided in favor of the former, is
a rebuke of the freshness and officious-
ness of Secretary Chandler in claiming
that the executive department was under
no obligations to obey the DEGREES OF the
courts. He may soon learn that he can
not do as he pleases, even if he has be-
come secretary Of the navy by playing
traitor to his old friends and taking up
with new ones who have now power to
advance him to places of trust. The
very presence of William E. Chandler
in the cabinet is reflection upon our
institutions, when to this he adds the
Office of censor Of the court he becomes
thoroughly ridiculous. 1t is plain that
the secretary has never been able to get
over the idea that the Office of secretary
of the navy is not larger or more digni'
fed that a ward caucus in his own little
town, and that he governs himself ac
cordingly.

KlOT ON A VESSEL.

Boarding House Keepers Attacking ships
Grow At tho Chester Whsrves.
For the past few days tho crew of the
ship Tillie E. Starbuck, which left Roach's,
at Chester, at $50 Tuesday morning, have
been locked in the forecastle and watched
by boarding house runners from New York
and Philadelphia. Tuesday morning a
man named Duffy, runner for sailors
boarding house in Philadelphia, and Ben
iamin Jinks, runner for a house in New
York, opened the starboard forecastle
and stood ready to give an early morning
greeting to the first men who came out.
The first was German and he
was at once seized and thrown
down. Duffy is a very large man, over
six feet tall and very stout. He jumped
upon and kicked the man, while Jinks
tapped him on the head with an iron be-
laying pin. The unfortunate sailor was
then dragged aft and placed in irons. All
this time the men in the fOrecastle were
still locked in. Louis Brewer. one of the
stevedores from Brooklyn, who was still
on board, having just finished unloading
the Starbuck's cargo, took hand in the
tight. He labored under the impression
that the abused party was one of his men
and he was determined to protect him.
Duffy greeted Brewers interference by
| drawing a revolver and firing several shots
without doing any damage. AS soon as
this work began all on board who did not
intend to accompany the Starbuck on her
voyage made quick time in getting on
| shore. Soon afterwards the runners left
also and lost no time in leaving the city.
None of the officers of the ship had any
hand in the matter. Captain Rogers So
verely condemns it.
EXPLODING THAT HAITIAN STORY.
No Agent of tho Government Authorized to
Purchase War Vessels.
At New York, inquiries were made
Tuesday at the Haytian consulate in refer
ence to the instructions said to have been
sent by that government to their agent,
II. Lennox, Of Philadelphia, directing
him to negotiate with tho United States
| government for the purchase of war YES
sells to be used for the reduction Of rebels
in MiragOane. "The first heard of the
matter" said E. D. Barrett, the Haytian
consul, was from the paragraphs i'll the
papers this morning. | was convinced
there could be no truth in it, and so
telegraphed to Mr.. LennOx, in Philadel-
ph:a, asking what it all meant, and this is
the answer received
Never heard such nonsense until YOU
telegram called my attention to it. Such
stuff never came from me.
"There continued Mr.. Barrett, "that
seems positive enough. Besides, it would
be a curious precedent for the government
to create if it was to enter into sucl
negotiations as these alleged without any
communication with us at the legation
here and through an entirely Independent
source. AS for this man, Leon Viera
mentioned in this absurd report as th'
agent of the Haytian government, hav'
never heard Of such man until thi
minute, and it is not even q Haytial
name.'

what Magic P0wsrJ


A lively bout occurred in the SEN
ate Monday between Senators b
and Smyth over an item which APP
peared in the Carson Index the day
previous, giving what purported TO
be Smyth's reply to Hobart on his
(Smyth's) railroad bill. The Index
reported Smyth as saying that Ho-
bart went against the measure for
coin-and, of course, the Hon. Sena-
tor was wrathy. Smyth disclaimed
using any such language, and the
ewspap man was in danger of be-
ing tlayed alive for q time. Finally
the usual committee was appointed
and the matter Strengthened up ami
eably without bloodshed. OF course
it was very wicked for the newspaper
maj to put wrong language into an
honorable Senator'S mouth, much
more SO TO insinuate that coin has
anything to do with the vote OF hon
orable members of the Legislature on
railroad bills. lie might, however,
have asked what magic influence is
exerted over the honorable gentlemen
that makes them disregard their sol
emn pledges 10 the people, their own
well known hostility TO the exaelions
of these corporations before they go to
Carson, and the general public senti-
ment of the State? Can il be Steve
Cages fascinating tally or Cleve's
well-stocked sideboard that turns
their heads and makes them disavow
all their former professions? Itlooks
so; but could we believe it. we would
consider Gage and Cleve W Of the
most magnetic mortals living. Hon
orable members of the Nevada Legis-
lature may kick and rave at insinua-
tons like those thrown out by the
Carson reporter, but the people,
whose rights these honorable gentle
men are betraying, will think, and
believe, and say, ju.t what they con-
slider the most likely influence used
to defeat their will. TIE people have
o often been triiled With. Flimsy
excuses and assumed v.rtuous indig-
nation don't go.

some Hope Ahead.

The Carson Appeal OF last Saturday
morning, speaking of the defeat OF
Smyth's railroad bill, says: In the
Senate yesterday it is not surprising
that the Smyth bill was killed. as it
had two corporations to fight instead
of one. II the competing road is de-
termined to cut through Nevada and
go to San Francisco, IL will come any
way and the rates proposed in Smyth's
bill would still not deter 1t. No one
need apprehend that Legislation need
ever block any enterprise like the
Denver & Rio Grande road with mil
lions OF capital behind it. Yet in the
beating of the bill yesterday it pretty
clearly demonstrates that the Denver
* Rio GrAnde people mean to build
a competing line and want to getail the
aid they can in their enterprise during
the first few years Of its existence.
The G. p. for once was in a curious
position for s 10 great a monopoly to
occupy. 1t knew that were the high
rates of tariff maintained il would be
an encouragement FOR the new road to
come in, while a bill which would dis
courage the new road would also bear
on them. They took the horn of the
dilemma which seemed the easiest to
sit on and thus was Witnessed two ri
val roads joining forces. II the new
road is built. as it certainly will be,
it will give the people OF Nevada a re
lief that they can never hope for in
their Legislatures, and out OF yester-
days defeat they can pluck the con
ISOLATION that the present state OF af-
fairs will be changed when once there
is a through competing line from
Salt Lake to San Francisco. The
writer knows from conversations held
with representatives OF the new road
in Salt Lake and Denver, that this plan
will be carried out, as the preliminary
have been made, the neces-
sary passes in the mountains taken
up, aud everything in readiness to
push the enterprise. This will lift a
burden frsm Nevada's commerce and
insure her a prosperous future.

The smyth Bill Defeated

The bill introduced in the Senate
by Smyth of Lander to regulate fares
and freights was defeated in the Sen
ate. 1'he vote stood as follows:
Ayes-Dennis. Kaiser, Marker, Mcconnell,
Roekhill, Schooling. Smyth, Williams all
Democrats but Kaiser and Markers. Noes
-Brumsey, Danberg, Foley, Fox, Gallagher,
Hammond, Henderson, Hobart, Parker. lay
lor. Tolley and Mesterfeld-I2 The bill
was lost.
a correspondent says the feeling on
the street over the defeat of the bill,
was one of hot Indignation. The muir
murs are loud and o~utspoken, the
people feel that they have once more
been betrayed, and the betrayers are
condemned in n-nmeasured terms.
Those who have watched the progress
Of the session observe with a feeling
of disgust that bills alter bills are in
troduced and passed without a thought

members propose to haul the pledge

them the rags Of apology OF 'hdelity

ity Of which is beyond questioning
that is, a verbatim copy Of the present
law, the Act OF 1865, now in force,
with the maximum rates cut down to
half-from 10 cents TO 3 for fares, and
from 20 cents to 10 for freights. Such
is the Williams bill in the Senate, and
the Riepe bill in the Assembly. These
bills will be Immediately pressed, and
il will be hard for those voting against
them To offer the sem blance OF an ex-
cuse for so doing. 1t is the opinion
that the Assembly will pass railroad
bills, while the Senate defeats them,
but that such bills passed in the Ser
ate would be defeated in the House.
In other words, it has been decreed
that no railroad measure shall be en-
acted by a. Nevada Legislature.

The Sacramento Bee says: The
American people have shown their
anxiety 10 pay the national debt, in
order that they may cas- paying in
terest. The national bankers and the
other holders Of the bonds are anx-
lous on the other side that the bonds
shall not be paid-never be paid-for
they would prefer to draw the inter
est, aud they are working on Con-
gress TO abolish certain internal reNe-
nues aud certain tariffs, IN order that
there may not be means 10 pay of
the national debt. This is pure self
ishneSs upon their part, and on the
other hand it is pure selfishness on
the part OF the people, who want TO
save themselves from paying interest,
but the people are the majority, and
what Is their interest Is for the good
OF the multitude. The sum OF Sl5,-
000, 900 OF the national debt WAS paid
IN the month of December last, and
~e are assured that the reduction
during the first SIX months OF the
present fiscal year exceeds ISL 900, 900
while the reduction during the whole
of the fiscal year which ended with
June 30, 1882, was SI5l .0O0 900 The
total debt is footed up now vt 81 1920
467 1913 81. AT the ra e OF last years
reduction the debt would be extin-
gu!,hed in about twelve years. But
in the general estimate of the public
debt the $3.50, 000, 900 of national cur
rency are included, which, of course,
is not a debt and will not nave To be
paid, because it is itself valid money,
and the most popular money we have.
At any rate, let us keep on getting
out Of debt. Let us reduce as fast as
We properly a the mortgage on the
farm. 1t is better that the public
shall have the interest than that the
bankers and bond holders shall
have it.
