No, they are all principally built abroad,

remember when a boy going to village to
see political meeting and asked the Coun-
ty Clerk, who was man who would not kick
a small boy aside, what was the meaning of
the big hickory pole which stoodin the center
of the village. He told me it meant
that when Andrew Jackson went to
Washington he would make a clean sweep

Grover Cleveland takes his place there we
will have an honest and conscientious Adj
ministration, his motto, the hickory pole, as
it is mine, as it isyours, and we hope in fu-

rights in it's future greatness and glory.''
Mr.. Hendricks was loudly cheered at the
close of his address. The chairman an
nounced that Mr.. Beecher was in Boston and
adjourned the meeting. An informal recep-
ton was given to Nh. Hendricks, and lasted
for some time.

The Ameri' q L Humane Society.

PITTSBURGH, PA, November 20.
The annual session of the American
Humane Association met in the parlors
of the Monongahela House yesterday
morning. Ladies and gentlemen delegates
to the number of forty were present. The
President, Edwin Lee Brown, of Chicago,
is the presiding officer of the Convention,
and called the meeting to order. Prayer
was offered by Prof. Eaton, of Pittsburgh,
after which an address of welcome by
Mr.. Joseph Walters, of Pittsburgh, was
made, to which President Brown re-
sponded, giving in detail an account of
the work done by the Association. Vari-
Gus committees were then appointed, and
the eiohth annual report was read.
/ After the recess Tor dinner, the reports
from the various State and city organiza-
lions were heard. \ paper, presented by
Edwin Webster, Secretary of the Pennsyl
vania State Humane Society, was full OF
interesting facts relative to the transport
tation of cattle in cars untitled for that
purpose, and the overcrOWding OF stock
cars. The report of the Treasurer of the
Society showed balance on hand at the
last report of So, l13.24; to this had
been added 81 ,726.91. From this had
been paid out expenses of 2,+94.18.
Mr.. Sontall, of Chicago, raised de-
cided breeze by proposing that the socie-
ty be Invested of its formality, and in it's
stead meet as a Humane Congress, CIV
ing as reasons the liability to jealousy of
the State and city organizations at the as
sumption of authority of the National
body, which had no authority. After
much opposition, resolutions embodying
the above were referred to the Committee

On Trial for Murder.
SHERMAN, TEX, November 2

SHERMAN, TEX, November 81
The District Court was crowded yester-
day to hear the proceedings in the trial
of Jat. Gunter, one of the Texas cattle
kings, for the killing of D. FL. Thompson,
. well-known saloon man of Sherman.
The evidence was not confined to citizens
of the town and county, but many from
Cooke and Dallas counties were in at
tendance. The special venire was
exhausted at eleven O'Clock, and an
adjournment had until 1880 to pro-
cure other jurors. A jury was Sc
lected by three O'Clock, consisting of the
most solid citizens of the county. The
State has so far examined two witnesses,
whose testimony is exclusively as to the
killing of Thompson, and that it was done
by Gunter by double-barreled shotgun.
There is also evidence of pistol shots hav-
ing been fired, but it is not in evidence a.
to who fired them.

The Coachman's Bride.

NEW YORK, November 81.
Madam Victoria Schelling Hulskamp
made her debut last evening before q
packed audience in Steinway Hall. She
was dressed in an elegant costume of black
silk, and sang in a rich, clear, though not
powerful, soprano voice. Her first num-
Der was cavatina, from s'Ernani," which
was received with rounds of applause,
and in an encore she sang ''Sleep On"
The Addio Del Passato, from s'Traviata,"
very admirable selection, was adj
mirably rendered, and at it's
conclusion the audience stood
up and cheered. In responding to the
vociferous applause, Nine. Hulskamp
sang elbow Could I Leave Thee" The
final number in the programme was the
duet from Lucia by the debutante and
Herr Junck, which was also enthusiastic
cally received. Mme.. Hulskamp's voice
is clear, sweet soprano, of good COM
pass, which would be admirably fitted for
the drawing-room, but which lacks the
roundness and vigor required for concert
purposes. The many musical critics in
the audience doubt if she will make q
success without additional study.

An Unchristian Act.
NEW YORK, November 2

NEW YORK, November u.
Lena W. Cole, an actress at the Lon
don Theater, engaged rooms from Mrs.
Rydill for her mother (Mrs. Warren) and
her sister, also an actress, who were
coming on from Boston. The latter was
an invalid, and when Mrs. Rydill saw her
condition she Qandlady) objected to
having such tenant, and ordered the
mother and daughters to clear out. Ar
rangements were made, but Wednes-
day night Bessie Warren, the
sick sister, died. When the I'M
dertaker went to the house yesterday,
Mrs. Rydill refused to admit him, say
ing she would not allow her house to
be used for funeral purposes. She

Facts About Counterfeiting.

WASHINGTON, ID. O., November 20.
The annual report of Chief Brooks of the
Secret Service Division Of the Treasury
Department shows that during the past
year 423 arrests were made by secret
service agents. The amount of counter
felt money captured or surrendered dur
ne the year was 1854 $50, a large pro-
portion of which was in fash notes. A
marked decrease is noted in the circula-
ton of cards in imitation of United States
Treasury notes and metal tokens in
imitation of United States coin for
advertising purposes. Manufacturers,
becoming better acquainted with the
requirements of the law, have substi-
tuted other designs for the imitation OF
gold and silver coins for use as bangles.
The report says the events, of the past
year give evidence of revival of the
manufacture of counterfeit paper money,
which was practically suspended during
the years 1882 and 1888. Chief Brooks
IS of opinion that there is to-day. in the
hands of counterfeiters nearly $500, 900
of new spurious notes of the denomina-
tions of $40 and $40, which have been
produced since January lst. 1854.

The Military Academy.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., November Il.
The Board of Visitors to the United
States Military Academy in their
annual report upon the chara cter and
condition of the West Point Academy,
say that they found the general condition
of the academy highly satisfactory, if not
beyond criticism. The administration of
the academy is all that could be desired,
and the United States may well be proud
OF the institution, whether from the point
of view of those who are interested chiefly
in general and technical education, or
in that of those who appreciate
an Intelligent and thorough administra-
ton of great public establishment. The
grounds, the buiIdings-so far as funds
allotted permit-and the careful attention
to detail in every department., continue to
produce most satisfactory general re-
suit. The recommendations of the board
refer to matters of minor detail in the
workings of the Academy.

rights when endangered by aggregated
capital, and III statutes on this subject
should recognize the care OF the State
for honest toll, and be framed with
| view Of improving the condition OF the
workinpman.n These were Cleveland's
declarations before he became Gov
ernor.
| Almost his first act as Governor was
| to appoint the Railroad Commission OF
one Republican, one Democrat and one
representative of anti-monopoly. He
took an early opportunity to urge
greater publicity of all corporation pro-
ceedings, by requiring minute and ire
quent reports, that the public may
know how their funds are spent, and
said the State should provide way '.by
which the squandering OF misuse OF cor
porate funds should be made good to
the parties injured. He passed every
bill but one of the seven introduced into
the Legislature last year by the State
Trades Assembly, including the aboli-
ton of convict contract labor and the
establishment of Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics. The bill he vetoed was the bill
to regulate the hours of labor of con-
ductors and drivers of New York City
horse-cars, his reason being solely that
it would not accomplish the object de-
sired. 1t viii be found thatin every in
stance where he has disapproved a bill
desired in the interest of labor, it has
been from his faithfulness to another
strong and worthy trait of his charac-
ter, his uncompromising thoroughness.
1t shows also his absolute disregard for
his own personal interests, which could
have been so easily served by signing
this and other defective bills. @
In short, wherever we follow Gov
ernor Cleveland, we find genuinepess,
thoroughness, courage, subordin3tionf
of self, high sense Of public honor and
honesty, and conscience for th9Tserv->
ice of the people. He said Fat the
Buffalo semi-centennial in 1882: 1--WE
boast of our citizenship tonight. But
this citizenship brings with lit duties
not unlike those we owe our fneighbor
and our God" He has heelis faithful
to this high conception of the citizens
responsibilities already in
great things, and he has shown the
capacity and the conscience to be faith &
full in the greatest things the Nation
has to employ its servants with

The Coming Administration and the

Negro.
ALBANY, n. Y, November 81.
Governor Cleveland was asked by q
United Press representative if he was
| aware of delusion existing among the
colored people of the South that change
in the administration would unfavorabiy
affect their condition, to which he re.
piled:
Yes; 1 have been astonished at the state
ment that there was an apprehension exist
ing among the colored people, that in some
way, their rights now secured to them under
the laws and constitution of the United
Democratic President. 1 am even told that
some of them are led to suppose the result OF
the recent election means that they may be
again made slaves. All of this has appeared
to me to be so absurd, and have been so
sure that the slightest Intelligent reflection
would realize such foolish fears that can
hardly deem any notice of them necessary.
But there is not the slightest objection to
calling the attention of all who are in the
least uneasy uncertain upon this subject
to the fact that the title of the colored people
to freedom and all the rights of citizenship
cannot be disturbed, except by change in
the Constitution which it would be absolutely
Impossible to make. Besides, the present con-
dition status of the people has been so
fully accepted by the entire country that no
one should have the slightest idea that
any attempt will be made to change it, if
there was any pofsso,ltg e OF n
ton is related to this subject, the whole
country can be sure that the lawful power
and jurisdiction of the Executive will be SO
exercised that the rights of all citizens,
white or black, under the constitution and
ali the advantages to which they are entitled
by reason of their citizenship will
be secured to them. There need be
no fear that either the Democratic party or
its newly elected administration proposes to
Cypress or enslave any part of our popula-
ton nor to destroy the business interests
%I,o "a the other
to do something to benefit the people 1t
seems to me that our efforts in that direction
would be aided if mischieVous croaklhG anu
dark imagfnations should give place to an
earnest endeavor to inspire confidence, and
to make universal a cheerful hope for the
future.

The Historic Tragedy of q Little. Hamlet
in the Carpathian Hills.

| The Historic Tragedy of Little Hamlet
in the CarpathiaD Hills.
A quiet little valley shut in on every
side by dark hills; a long, low, many
windowed building far below, with red
roof and white walls, past which bare
ly visible at this height--curve the slen-
der iron threads of the railway; a paint
ed palisade across the road about one
hundred yards beyond it, marking the
point where the Austrian Empire ends
and the Principally of Roumania COM
mences; a few tiny cottages little
further down the valley (each encircled
by it's own pool of filth) which are the
sole representatives of the '.Predeal'
that make such a figure in the local
maps. Probably not one foreigner in a
hundred has ever heard of even the
name of Predeal, but among the native
population it has gained an imperisha-
Bile renown from the memory of a great
crime and a fearful tragedy. When the
armies of Russia came swarming
through the Carpathian Passes in 1S49,
to crush by sheer weight Of numbers
the gallant Hungarians whose valor
had swept away the clustering tyranny
of Austria like chaff before the whirl-
wind, it was by way of Predeal and the
Tomos Gorge that the destroyers adj
vanced upon the doomed town of Kezdi
Vasarhely. But even these grim, sol
diers were chilled with a nameless hor-
rOr at the first sight of the town. Not
living soul was to be seen Every
house was fast shut and barred and
the only sound heard was the dismal
toll of the church bell, which seemed to
be lamenting over the dead. And well
it might for every man of the popula-
ton had fallen in the lost battle OF, the
morning, and the houses were garri-
soned only by women and children,
who had sworn not to survive the ruin
of their country. Shaking off their first
terror, the soldiers began to force the
doors of the nearest houses, and the
final tragedy began. Every house be-
came a fortress, from which stones,
boiling oil and scalding water rained
down upon the assailants, heaping the
forsaken streets with the dying and the
dead. Savage yells, shrieks of anguish
and the ceaseless crackle of musketry
filled the outer air, while the mournfuI
bell doomed drearily through the up
roar; but those within fought in stern
silence, neither giving nor asking mer-
cy. Till nightfall this superhuman
combat ragged, and then the wearied
slayers began to hope that their work
was done. But just then a shower of
fire. brands, cast from the church
tower overhead, by the crippled bow
who had tolled the death-knell, fired the
dry roofs of the houses, and the whole
town was soon one red and roaring
blaze, in which victors and vanauished
persisted together.--P hiiddelf,iia Press.

THERE MUST BE EQUALITY OF RIGHT.
Gentlemen, there can not be political In
equality among the citizens Of free repu;b.
men in the South ruling a majority of white
men in the North. Patriotism, self respect,
pride, protection for the person and safety
for the country all cry out against it. The
very thought of it stirs the blood OF men who
inherit equality from the Pilgrims who first
erty- loving patriots who came to the Della
ware with William Penn. 1t becomes primal
question of American manhood. 1t demands
hearing and a settlement, and that settle
ment will yindicate the equality of American
citizens in all personal and civil rights. 1t
will at least establish the equality of white
men under the National Government, and
will give to the Northern men who fought to
preserve the Union as large voice in its
government as may be exercised by the
Southern man who fought to destroy the
Union.
The contest just closed utterly dwarfs the
fortunes and fate of candidates, whether
successful or unsuccessful. Purposely-l may

AT the conclusion of Mr.. Blaine's speech he
invited the large crowd into his house, and
for nearly an hour an informal reception
was held, the hundreds of people passing
through the rooms. The greetings were eS'
pecially friendly and cordial.

BALTIMORE, Md, November 20.

BALTIMORE, Md, November 90.
Miss Barbara Winterbauer, twenty-five
years of age, who lives at No Calverton
road, was accidentally shot by young
friend, Charles Leopold, Tuesday night.
Leopold, in company with friend, was
spending the evening at the lady's house.
About ten O'Clock, as the visitors were
leaving, Leopold took out his revolver
to show it to Miss Winterbauer, who was
anxious to see how it worked. He pro-
ceeded to explain the parts by removing
the cylinder, the chambers of which
were empty, with one exception.
In returning the cylinder to it's
place his hold slipped, and the
hammer fell upon the cartridge, discharg-
ing it. Miss Winterbauer threw her
hand up to her right side, and exclaimed:
''Oh, you have shot mel'' The young
men laughed at. first, thinking she was
testing, but the appearance of blood soon
convinced them that she was in earnest.
Leopold, confused and terrified, seized
his hat and ran for a doctor, but hunted
for some time before he could find one.
The ball entered the lady's right side and
probably penetrated her left lung. She
will die

The First Bank.

It is one of the most remarkable of
phenomena that the first bank ever es-
tablished won q success unequaled in
later times. The Bank of Venice had
its origin in LII from forced public
loan, raised to fit fleet, and is the first
appearance of public funded debt.
Every citizen was obliged to contribute
the one-hundredth part of his posses
slons. The persons assessed were then
organized as chamber of loans for
their common protection and for the re-
ceipt OF the yearly interest of four per
centuni. Subsequently its creditors
were permitted to transfer their claims
in whole or in part. The Government.
finding that these transfers were in de-
mand, reduced the rates of interest until
no interest was paid, Afterw ard it sold
cash Inscriptions of credit on its books.
These inscriptions cost gold, but were
not convertible into gold. AS & matter
OF fact, although termed bank, its
issues were Government paper, and it's
business was carried on solely for the,
benefit OF the public treasury. This
bank is still one Of the foremost finan-
cial institutions in the world. For two
hundred years the Bank of Venice stood
alone--Albony Times.
