h. r. JONES,


Chairman OF the Republican National
Committee.
Benjamin Franklin Jones had no po-
litical reputation until the beginning
OF the present campaigo, but his great
wealth, superior business ability and
stAunch political preferences were quail
hcations which associated with the
positive choice of Mr.. Blaine,
marked him out for the DO
sIIion he now holds before
the country. He is interchangeable In his
efforts To secure the success OF the Re
publican ticket. No man n the Ma.
tioual committee of tue organization
works more, il as many, hours at head
quarters as he. His address Is easy aud
pleasing, thai of the cultured gentle
man aud his personal qualities are of
great service TO his party in assisting to
MAINTAIN the hope and purpose of
its many representatives from
all parts OF The country. Visitors are
assured of tho most considerable courtesy
in their intercourse with Mr.. Jones,
whose sagAciIy IN political management
| can not be questioned, whether or not he
will be ON the winning side IA the pres
| enl momentous conflict
He IS an active, weil.preserved gentle
man, 10 age probably about two years on
the sunny side of SIXTY. His hair and
beard are gray, nearly altogether white
his complexion healthy and pure. He il
j but little, If any, above the me
dunn height, and 10 figure full enough
without being encountered with super
fiuOus flesh and at safe distance from

MI Jones is a native of Washington

Edward Everett Hale in Philadelphia Press.
The southern Oligarchy chooses men,
Der of congress IN Mississippi by $500
voters all told.
In Pennsylvania A, 1000 voters must
vote when one member is chosen.
This southern ollgarchy now proposes
TO the freemen of the north to take the
government of the nation off their
hands.
To effect this, they make q covenant
with John Kelly, directing the Demo
cratic vote of the city of New York
where the Democratic majority in 1882
was 62 900.
II is perfectly understood that outside
the city of New York the state is he
publican, and believes in q government
of the people. by the people, for the PEG
pie.
But in the city of New York the cen
troll of the liquor shops give q majority
of GO 600 votes, witch are virtually in the
hands of few leaders.
These leaders agree with the solid
south to vote for the same candidate
And it Is expected that the union of the
large southern ring ana the small New
York City ring will give so large vote,
that some local discOntents elsewhere
may elect Grover Cleveland president.

Wichita Eagle: The day that he was
in Wichita Governor Click spent a por-
ton of his time at Fritz Snltzler's saloon.
We have no objection to urge IN this
connection. 1t was the governor of
Kansas privilege TO spend an hour with
his friend, Mr.. Fritz SnItzler, if he felt
like It. The matter is only alluded to
for the purpose of exposing our disap-
probation of the Beacon's course In
criticising Senator Ingalls, and
Col. John a. Martin for riding
about the city with q couple OF
bankers who were members CT the re,
ception committee. 1t was their priy.

Clicks to go with few congenisl com.

his friend Fritz. In fact these little so

simply a matter of tsste-an there
would be just as much sense in
our Directing TO Governor Clicks
going to Snitzler's as there was for the
Beacon to criticise Mr.. Iugalls and Mr.

PORT JARVIS, N. Y, Oct. 2S.-The
following is Mr.. Blaine's speech at Bing.
hampton: Il am sure that no man who
loves the American Union can ever visit
the city of BinghamptOn without honor
able remembrance of Daniel s. Dicken-
son. ICheers.l And no man who was
ever contemporary with the great civil
struggle which involved the fate of
American nationality, can ever forget

cause when he forsook his party for his
country. [Great cheering.l Not pre-
cisely in the same phase but involving
like issues, Is the contest in which we are
engaged to-day, for as we then confront

Union, 80 we confront great combina-
ton to seize the government of the
United States and control it, by the same
men who rebelled against 1t. The rea-
son refer 20 that here and now is that
the combination will be absolutely inef-
fective unless aided by the vote of New
York, and am sure that the county
of Boone and the valley OF the Susque-
hanna will enter an indignant protest
against the empire state being taken out
of the great loyal Gordon of free states,
always loyal TO the Union, to be joined
with the states of the solIdffied south.

perity which has made New York the

comparable to that which you have
made since 1851. When Buchanan, the

An Enterpris,ne Explorer

Boston Transcript: DIR. Emil Holub,
whose large collection in the natural his
tory and ethnography OF Africa haye
enriched the museums of of Austria, is
now carrying out a very large scheme
of exploration. He left Cape COLONY
recently, intending to cross the CONT
nent from south to north. He expects
to be gone three years. He hopes to
cross the water parting between tie
Congo and Zpmbesi rivers, u region of
which little Is known, TO trace the
sources OF the Congo river In
the country that Livingstone
alone has visited, 10 solve
the problem of the destination of
the River Welle, in which. however, DIR.
Junker may anticipate him, and to push
north either through Darfur or Wadai.
In 1872 DR.. Holub Yainly applied to sew
eral scientific bodies to send him to
Africa. He finally started on his own
account, reached Port Elizabeth with
$i5 in his pocket, practiced medicine
in the diamond fields, and spent his
earnings and two years and half of
time in explorations which were SO re-
markedly fruitful that the Vienna Geo
graphical society and other bodies
raised, last winter, $25, 600 to enable him
TO carry out his present enterprise.

TerrIble Min,D1 ni.as,ar

UEIoNTowN, Pa, Oct. 2S-The worst
fears touching the tate OF the men who
were imprisoned In the coal mine at
youngstown, tour miles from this place,
by an explosion of fire damp, when
took place at 4 O'Clock last evening,
have been fully confirmed. Six of the
miners were taken out last evening, soon
after the disaster, two of them were dead
and two OF the other four are so serious
" injured that there is no prospect of
their recovery. This lett trCm fourteen
TO eighteen men supposed to be still I'M
prisOned in the mine. The exact mum
Der is not correctly known. The work
OF rescuIOg these men was continued
industriOusly throughout the night
and by this morning the dead bodies OF
twelve of them had been brought out
and delivered to their friends and rela-
tIves. This makes fourteen dead in all,
and together with four injured, accounts
for eighteen, the whole numUer sup
posed TO have been in the mine.
1t is not known whether there are any
more remains TO be discovered, but
it is believed all have been
found at this time. A
complete accurate list OF the dead can
not be given. The scenes at the mouth
of the pit as the distigured bodies OF the
dead were brought to the surface and
given into the hands of their friends and
relatives was distressing in the extreme
1t cannot be stated now whether the ex-
plesiOn was due TO the carelessuess of the
company or not. The miners alIege
that it was. 1t is well
known, however, that the Youngstown
company has always been very careful
and knowledge that the mine was a
dangerous one predIsposed 10 the gener-
alton of fire-damp made them more care
full than ever. The mine was inspected
every morning and whenever the pres
ence of f1Fe-damp was detected it was
invariably the order to deny mon
admission to 1t until the gas had
been expelled. This was the rule
and the officials say it wasIrigidly enforc-
ed, but it is claimed by miners that the
| company discharged q competent fire
boss about two months ago and have
since employed in that capacity one
who was not competent to determine
whether the mine was safe or not.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 2S-The su-
preme court, three judges affirming and
two dissenting. to-day declared the Scott
liquor tax law unconstitutional The
decisions on several pending cases were
all to this effect. The majority of the
court held that the lien clause of the
Scott law IS 8 license law therefore, the
whole act is license law; therefore, the
whole act is void. No opinion is ex
pressed as to whether the law Is vcId as
3 tax or license law.
The Scott Law decision, stripped Of Its
verbiage, declares the entire law uncon-
stItutional. and will not only do away
with the collection of the tax this year,
only 9 small portion of which has been
paid, but will make il necessary
for all corporations TO pay back
the amount which was collected
under the law last year. together with
interest Il will bankrupt nearly all the
cities in the state, as the levies for the
year were made on the suppOsition thai
the law was constitutional, and would
bring into the treasury of counties and
cities stipulated amount Of money,
