THE Johnstown Tribune of Tuesday
last in referring to the publication in
the newspapers by the State Department
of the amendment to the Constitution
relating to. judicial districts, although
it never passed the House, says: And
this is a reform Administration that
illegally adveTtises an amendment to
the Constitution through stupidity,
not knowing that they we're doing so
until informed of it by a newspaper,
thus making the State pay thousands Of
dollars for advertising unnecessarily. {"
The stupidity" connected with the sup
posed passage of the bill through the
House can't be charged to the Governor
who permitted the bill setting forth the
amendment to become a law. nor TO
the Secretary of the Commonwealth
whose duty it was to cause its publica-
tion. The bill came to the Governor
through the regular channel from a
Republican House presided over by a
Republican Speaker House whose
chief clerk, assistant clerk and all it's
transcrlolng clerks are loyal Republi-
cans. This being true, any plain COM
mon-seEse man will conclude that it
was the special business of at least one.
If not more, of the clerks to see to it
that a bill which had not passed the
House should not be presented TO the
Speaker for his signature. When the
amendment was laid before him the
Governor had a right to infer that it
had passed the House regularly, and his
Secretary had a right 50 to believe when
he directed its publication The stupid.
ity'' in the matter imputed by the Trib-
'tne to the Governor and Mr.. Stenger.
must therefore be borne by the Repub-
lcan clerks in the House, who are re-
sponsible for the undivided disgrace
attaching to the blunder.

For adamantine cheek always give
US Thomas V. Cooper, Chairman of the
Republican State Committee, who seems
to have forgotten two important facts,
one of which is that there is no longer a
Republican Administration at Wash
ington, and the other that there is an
act Of Congress against soliciting con-
tributions for political purposes in the
public offices at the National Capital or
elsewhere. In this state Of mind he has
issued a circular begging for money to
defray the expenses of the present cam
psign in this State, and has mailed
copies of the same to the Republican
clerks in the different departments at
Washington that Cooper, by sending bis
circulars to employees in the departments
to be delivered by letter carriers in Gov.

u of the Civil Service act, which reads
as follows:
Section -. That no person shall in any
building occupied in the discharge OF official
duties by any officer or employe of the
United States mentioned in this act, 10 any
navy yard, fort or arsenal solicit in any
manner whatever, or receive any contribu-

culars to the Civil Service Commission
for such action as it may deem proper.
Putting this question aside. it is as GER
tain as can be that Cooper won't get as
much money through his circular from
the Republican clerks at Washington as
would buy him a mess Of oysters. Isn't
his impudence, however, refreshing 2
and that, too, under the plea, as stated
in the circular, tha: ''if the Republicans
OF Pennsylvania win a decisive victory
this year it will prevent any agita-

IT was discovered at Harrisburg on
Saturday last that the joint resolution
introduced into and supposed to have
been passed by the late Legislature sub
mitting to the people an amendment
to the Constitution fixing the population
of judicial districts at co. 900 instead Of
10000 never became a law, from the
fact that it was defeated IN the House,
the vote standing, yeas 85, nays 81. the
bill thus lacking 16 votes of 1O1, the
number required by the Constituti ion.
IL IS supposed that In the hurry and
confusion Of the last day of the session
The bill was hastily gathered up with
other bills, signed by the Speakers of
both houses and then laid before the
Governor, who permitted it to become
a law by not acting on it within thirty
DAYS after the adjournment. The
amendment has been published during
th e last six weeks OF two months in al
most every paper In the State, by order
or the Secretary of the Commonwealth
IN pursuance of Constitutional man
date, and will cost the State a very
handsome sum of money. It seems in
comprehensive how this bill could have
been presented to the presiding officers
of both houses for their signatures in
the face Of the fact that it had never
passed the House. Some officer of the
House has been inexcusably careless in
performing his duty, and if the blame
can be properly located he ought to be
made suffer. The next Legislature will
have to start in the new if the proposed
amendment is wise proposition to in
corporate in the Constitution. Wehave
heretofore expressed our belief that it
is not. If the number of inhabitants ne
cessary to constitute judicial district is
to be enlarged beyond the present re-
quirement, every consideration of pub
lie policy requires that the increase
should largely exceed, sixty thousand.

GOVERNOR HOADLY opened his cam
paign in Ohio on Saturday last at Ham
iltOn, Butler county, by an exhaustive
speech TO a crowd OF ten thousand en-
thusiastic Democrats. Judging from
this mastery effort Of the Governor
there will not be much left of John
Sherman and Foraker, the Republican
candidate for Governor, both Of whom
are running the campaign on the bloody
shirt issue, after he gets through with
them. In the course Of his speech Gov.
HOadly spoke of the Administration of
President Cleveland as follows
"Mr. Cleveland has held office six months
Congress has not been in session, yer much
has been accomplished. The spirit Of reform
and economy has entered all the depart
ments. Useless offices and expenses have
been done away, while the performance Of
duty, civil and military, has been enforced.
The Government is not sOlicitous to provide
soft places for pets, but to save money for
the people and TO keep the faith pledged in
the platform.

IN four-coumn article Of memo
ries'' of General Grant contributed by
George w. Childs, of the Philadelphia
Ledger, to the Press, of that city, he re-
fers to Grants course in regard to the
case of Fitz John Porter as follows:
"I spoke to him during the early stages of
it, at a time when his mind had been preju.
diced by some around him, and he was very
busy. Afterwards when he locked into
the matter he said he was only sorry that he
had so long delayed going at the examina
ton as he ought to have done. he felt that
il ever man was treated badly Porter was.
He had examined the case most carefully,
gone over every detail. and he was perfect
ly we'll satisfied that Porter was right He
wanted to do every thing in his power to
have him righted, and his only regret was
that he should have neglected so long and
allowed him to rest under injustice. There
are few men who would take a back track
as General Grant did so publicly, so deter
minedly and so consistently right through.
l had several talks with him, and he was
continually reiterating his regrets that he
had not done justice to Porter when he had
the opportunity. he never ceased to the
day OF his death from his right to speak and
write in favor OF Porter He ran counter to
a great many of his political friends in this
matter, but his mind was absolutely clear
Not one man in a thousand would go back
on his record in such a matter, especially
when he was not in accord with the Grand
Army or his strong pOliticOl friends Grant
weot into the matter most carfully, and his
publications show how thoroughly he exam.
ined the subject, but he never wavered af-
ter his mind was fixed Then he set to
work to repair the injury done Porter. If
Grant bad had time to examine it while he
was President he would have carried It
through. That was his great regret He
felt that while he had the power he could
have passed it and he ought to have done IT,
When Grant took pains and time to look in
to the matter no amount of personal feeling
or friendship for others would prevent him
from doing the right thing. He could not
be sweTved from the right"

THE history OF OIIrao an this oanntrv
contains no blacker page than the
slaughter on wednesday of last week,
of between twenty and fifty Chinese coal
miners at Rock Springs, in Wyoming
Territory, on the line of the Pacific rail-
road. Between four and five hundred
Cinnamon and about one hundred and
ffty white men were employed as miners
at that point and its vicinity, and as the
Chinese worked for less wages than the
white miners, the latter ordered the
former to leave in an hour. The Chi
namen commenced getting ready to
obey the order as soon as they saw tbe
whites supplying themselves with guns,
revolvers and hatchets, and when they
fled toward the mountains with the few
effects they hastily carried from their
houses, they were ruthlessly and brutal
ly sho: down by the mob OF white ruff
fans. 1t is estimated that between
twenty and fifty fell victims to this mer-
ciless attack. In response to the ap-
peal of the Governor of Wyoming the
War Department sent two companies
of troops from another point in the
Territory TO the scene of :he massacre.
At last accounts between twenty and
twenty-five of the ringleaGers in the
butchers had been arrested and put in
prison. 1t is to be hoped that they will
be visited with the full penalty of the
law for their brutal and savage conduct.

THE OTHER WORLD.

J. J. Owen, late of the San Jose
Mercury, is about to publish a
weekly newspaper in San Francisco
and his paper will have for its OBJ
iect the elevation of humanity in
this life and a search after evil
dences of life after death.
To the ordinary thinker there is
enough Of the uninvesti9ated mys-
teries of nature to keep a man busy
for lifetime, without going into the
realms of the infinite. Ever since
the world began the mind of man
has striven to wrest the secrets of
the after life from the dead, and, so
far, the grave has Knocked their
madness.
The poet has we'll expressed it

after long way beyond the present
and not until the Heavens have
rolled together as a scroll, and the
Judgment books are opened will
these secrets be revealed. Man
has no positive assurance that they
will be then.
The paper may be a success, for
the sake Of our brother journalist
we hope it will be, but, we are Of
the opinion that if the paper runs
a quarter Of a century and then
suspends, the people of San Fran
cisco will know no more about the

THE LOCUST PLAGUE

The London Standard, in an art
iclc on the r.vages Of locusts, which
are now devastating many places in
Europe as well as in the United
States, says: again and again
the various species have wrought
dire havoc wherever the wander
ings have taken them. Pestilence
usually comes in the rear of all.
and aggravated if not occasioned
by the eff1uvium from the dead
cattle, or of the insects which have

the waves and tide. A case is on
record in which the stencil from
such a bank was carried one hun
dred and fifty miles into the in
terror, and early in the Christian
era the hunger and plague COM
bined, which followed a visitation
of locusts in North Africa, caused
the death eight hundred thousand
people. Four centuries ago, it is
narrated on what seems fairly

thirty thousand persons persisted
