A NEAT THING.

The Republican State Convention
was fortunate in many things, and
among the best of the bright Incl
dents was the gem Of a speech 10y
Hon. r. w. Spence, on being called
to preside. The merit of it was,
perhaps, in a measure due to the
fact that the orator had no oppor-
tunity to spoil it in preparation. Be
inc rushed to the chair amid APP

Blaine for Gen. Sherman.

A Washington dispatch reports
Blaine as saying that Gen. Sherman
is the strongest man the republicans
can nominate; and claiming for him
superior ability for the presidency.
If Blaine were as wise in all things
as in this he would have been presl-
dent himself before now.
Let Gen. Sherman be nominated
by the republicans, and democratic
meetings will be an impossibility,
for if such meetings be attempted 1t
will only be necessary to have a
band march by and play "Marching
through Georgia" when the meet
ings will adjourn and join the pre-

Portrait of "fOO1" Man of Orient
al Origin.

The noble order "I0Ol," we are
informed in the Democrat, in COM
munication from Honorable Francis
Henry, Olympia, w. r., to be far
more ancient and meritorious than
the citizens of Mineral Point gener-
ally supposed. The writer is de-
lightfully eircumstantial in his ac-
count of the society when establish
ed at Mineral Point, and in which
he so largely participated himself.
He tells us, thau at the time of his
initiation into its mysteries, its or
igin was lost in the dim past. How
ever that may be, yet some of us
well remember that this strange in
stitution began to languish and soon
disappeared altogether shortly after
Mr.. Henry left.
In looking back to the early days
of Mineral Point ones thoughts
turn almost inevitably to such men
as Dick Reed, Col. Alb. Nichols, Col.
ID. w. Jones, DIR. Appel, the orient
al barber, and Frank Henry, who,
in that day were regarded as especi-
ally happy, and especially funny and
humorous, in all kinds of "travest-
ies," and this famous order of 1901
was a capital travesty of the old
nursery song, "Will you walk into
my parlor, said the spider to the fly"
Mr.. Henry has lost none of his
original qualities for success in this
kind of diversion and amusement,
rs the reader will at once recognize
where the editor of the Democrat
is innocently sold.

The Third District in the State
Convention,

If any fears remain that the an
tagonisms developed in this con-
gressional district in the campaign
of 1882, would arise to plague the
republicans in 1884, they must be
dispelled by view OF the result of
the district convention at Madison
last week. In considering W he
should represent the district in Chi
cage, and on the electoral ticket
care was taken to avoid any action
that should even look like division
on the line that divided the party at
Monroe. The best evidence of this
is that Calvert Spensley and A. c.
Dodge, representatives of opposite
views in the contest of 1882 were
chosen district delegates, L. w.
Key es, the conspicuous leader of one
faction was endorsed for delegate at
large, and an enthusiastic supporter
of IIazelton was chosen district
elector.
The last hope of the democrats
in this district is thus crushed out.
The republican convention to meet
at Dodgeyille in September will
agree upon a candidate, and he will
be elected 10y an old time majority.

The Mormon invasion of Idaho
has become matter of grave con-
Germ to the Gentiles of that sparsely
settled territory. Should this class
of immigration continue in the pro-
portion of the last few years, the
Mormons will preponderate eventu-
ally in Idaho, as they do now in the
neighboring territory of Utah. Del
egate Singiser, of Idaho, thinks the
United States might at least prevent
these Mormons from acquiring the
public lands in Idaho, and he is
urging a bill in the house having
that purpose in view. 1t provides
that no patent shall issue for lands
in the territory of Idaho to any one
who shall not first take an oath be-
fore the register and receiver of the
United States land office that he is
not bigamist, or does not cohabit
with more than one wife and is not
a member of any civil, social or re.
ligious organization or sect which
permits plural marriages. A law
similar to this might advantageously
be made applicable to Utah and all
the adjoining territories, as it would
tend to keep the Mormons within
their present limits.

While nothing has been accomplish

ORGANIZED ASsASSINS.
Indications Pointing to a Revival of the MUIR
derous Mollie Mcguire Organization.

LOCUST GAP, Pa, Sept. 19-In the outlying
districtsof the Schuylkill, L%uzerne, N~orthumber-
Hand, Carbon, Lehigh, Wyoming and Lackar
wanna regions the coal and iron police, as we'll
as members of the detective corps, have discovA
cred unmistakable evidence of lodges Of the no.
torious brotherhood of Mollie Maguires. Gem
tralia, Mt. Carmel, Girardville. Tuscarora, Coal
Hill, Tamaqua, Locust Gap, Dark Corner, Coal
Ridge, Summit and all patches about Broad
top mountain, from Mahanoy City to Ashland
in one direction, and from Shenandoah to Black
Creek and Quakake, have divisions of the oath
bound organization, and regular meetings ara
secretly held in isolated mountain retreats. ThoJ
feeling against the Hungarian laborers is in
tense. Yesterday the body of a Hungarian emf
ployed upon the Beech Creek, Clearfeld s.
Southwestern railway, was found neana
Clearield creek, Clear6eld county, and there
were terrible stabs and shot Wounds upon the
corpse. 1t is known that a party of miners or
dered him away from the coal country; it is pre-,
sumed the man refused to leave the country and
was assassinated. A Hungarian named George
Unglevaritis was fatally shot at Centralia, but
who fired the shot is unknown, though a man
named Lefkowitch has been arrested and taken
to Bloomsbury iaii.

agency of the Pinkerton bureau, develop
the fact that the statements relative
to the reorganization of this infamous society
are. true. A number of prominent citizens, rail-
way operators and mine bosses have been threat
ened, their names placed upon the Mollie Ma
guire death list, and their humiliation set down
for the near future. While there is no direct
evidence to connect the Mollie Maguires with the
recent murders, certain circumstances clearly
direct suspicion toward them, and recent mystic
rious incendiary burnings Of c~olliery property
in different sections of the coal country are
attributed to the brotherhood.
A Pottsville dispatch says: Careful investi-
cation conclusively indicates that the story
contained in a Locust Gap special to
a Pittsburg paper relative to a re-
vival of the Mollie Mcguire organization
in the Schuylkill region is wholly sensational and
unfounded. Besides the absurd confusion Of
locality, the story contains statements absolute
" false. Captain Anderson. of this city,
Of the Coal and Iron police, positively denies
having made any such statement as is attribut-
ed to him, or having been interviewed by anybody
upon the subject. He says the coal region is
quiet and secure, and that there is not a Molly
Mcguire organization in Schuylkil county.

WHEAT IN EAST INDIA.
Figures Showing that the United States
Has Some Very Important Advantages.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 19-The September re-
port of the Department Of Agriculture, just out. :
deyotes considerable space TO the subject Of
Wheat in India, and says, among other things:
ssAs regards freight charges, we have a sub
stantial advantage over India, not only in the
comparative proximity Of our Atlantic ports to
European markets, but also in the comparative
cheapness of our transportation by rail. Reduc-
ing Indian weights and moneys to an American
equivalent, the rates on wheat by rail on lead
ing Indian railways in March, 1883, were as fol-
lows: Delhi to Howrah, on the Tohawrah ~
East India railway, 954 miles, per ton, $L64; La
hore to KurPache, 921 miles, per ton, IS. 27s
Delhi to Bombay, over the Rajrutana railway
$50 miles, per ton, 80. IL; Jubbulpore to Bombay,
GIG miles, per ton, 1922. AS compared
with these rates the average all-rail rate from
Chicago to.New York, 913 miles, by the shortest
practicable route, was, from Jan. ! to Nov. ],
1883, l6. cents per bushel, or $6.0l perton- The
average Of the four Indian rates was a little less
than one cent a mile per ton, as against less
than two-thirds of a cent on the lines between
Chicago ard New York. In other words, the
average of the four Indian rates is
full so per cent. higher than the
rate on American lines between these
two cities, while the advantage on the side of
the United States is very much greater still,
If the Indian rates are compared with our rates
by lake and canal.or even BY lake and rail. The
cent and the latter less than one-half a cent per
ton per mile
