held to honor a fellow citizen whose character
and abilities, not less than his official posi-
ton, entitled him to their regard. AS one of
''the old ticket Mr.. Hendricks held spec
tally warm place in the hearts of allOld Dem
ocrats, his reelection in 1884, after having
been wrongfully deprived of the vice -presi-
dency in 1876, having increased the interest
they felt in his career. 1t may be affirmed
with some truth that Mr.. Hendricks to
greater extent than any of his contemporaries
was a type of his party, summing up in his
character the frank, honest, aggressive and
yetkindly traits of the progressive democracy.
Public buildings in all the large cities were
closed, and bells tolled, while everywhere
postoflices and other federal offices were
closed during the hours of the funeral.

Burned to Death.

Last Saturday VIM. Elder, aged about 50
years, residing near Lochmanstown, in the
Pigeon Hills, went to Abbottstown and there
became intoxicated. He returned to his home
in the evening with quantity of liquor, be-
came quarrelsome and drove his wife from
the premises. She went to a neighbor' s and
stayed all night. Upon returning in the
morning Mrs. Elder found the house burned
to the ground and her husband had persisted
in the flames. The only portion of his re-
mains to be found were the breast bone, the
heart and portion of the liver, over which
Esquire Flickinger held an inquest and the
jury rendered a verdict in accordance with the
above facts. How the fire originated is not
known Mr.. Elders rocking chair, part OF
his clothing and his pocket book containing
II cents-were found in the yard, all other
contents Of the building having been consum-
ed. The remains of the unfortunate man
were inferred on Tuesday morning in the
Catholic cemetery at Paradise. He leaves a
wife and two grown children.-Hdnorer Citi-

Farms of Carroll.

Tn the next issue of the ADVOCATE we
shall begin the publication of series OF
sketches of some of the most noted and
valuable of the farms of Carroll county.
As far as they go, they will constitute a
part of the local history of the county, and
will be made as full and accurate as the
material available will allow. All have a
common interest and feel common pride
in the progress and improvement of our
county, and these sketches will serve In
some degree as record of what that pro-
gress is and in what that Improvement con-
sists. The commodious mansions, fine
barns and productive fields of Carroll, her
superior stock, improved machinery and
advanced methods of culture, are part and
parcel of the common heritage, and help to
inspire commendable county pride; and
if we can succeed in impressing the public
mind with an adequate idea of their mag
nitude and Importance, it will give to all a
higher appreciation Of our county, and of
the skill, energy and enterprise Of our ag-
riculturists. These sketches will be con-
tinued for an indefinite period, and will, as
far as practicable, embrace all that promises
to be fruitful of public interest.

A Sensation in the Reichstag.

BERLIN, Dec. 2.-There was a sensational
scene in the Reichstag yesterday when the
president read the Emperor's message, which
was countersigned by Prince Bismarck. After
Bismarck's speech, which created a still
greater surprise, DR.. Windthorst, who was
greatly excited and hardly able to speak,
moved to discuss his Interpolation. The
motion was carried, the whole house, with the
exception of the conservatives, voting in its
favor. Thereupon Prince Bismarck, followed
by all the members of the Bundesrath, left the
house. DIR. Windthorst then moved to with.
draw the Interpolation in order to consider
the Emperor's message. The progressists,
led by Herr Richter, wanting an immediate
discussion of the message, challenged divi-
sion on Windthorst's motion, which was car.
ried. In the discussion of the budget, when
the item of Bismarck's salary was reached,
DR.. Windthorst renewed his question regard
ing the expulsion of the Poles. Prince Bis.
marck, who re-entered the chamber while DIR.
Windthorst was speaking, refused to discuss
the matter. The salary item was then voted.

President Pro Tenn. of the Senate.

Hon. John A. Logan will probably be
chosen President pro tcmPo'r OF the Sen
ate. He is not fit for the position in any
sense. and if chosen at all, will be selected
simply because his party nominated him
for Vice President Il year ago, and 1t IS
thought it will be graceful! thing to do to
put him in the position so that he may be
next in line Of succession in the event of
the death, removal or inability Of President
Cleveland. Logan was repudiatcd by the
people last year, and the graceful thing for
the Senate to do, and one in accord with
! the sentiment of the country, would be to
select Democrat as Presiden pro fcmPorc.
A Democrat was chosen president, and
another for Vice President. The people
desired i Democratic administration, and
if the Senate has any regard for popular
sentiment, they will elect Il President pro
ten,porc from among the Democratic mem
bers. TO do otherwise is to descend to a
low partisanship, and an attempt to reap
advantage out of misfortune.

King Theebaw, of Burmah, last week,
sent messenger to Gen. Prendergast, the
British India commander, asking an armis-
tice, for the purpose of settling the diff
Guilty between Burmah and the Indian
government. Gen Prendergast, in reply,
demanded the surrender of the Burmese
army and Mandalay, the capital, stating that
only then could he entertain any request
looking to settlement of the dispute.
King Theebaw acceded to the terms, and
the Ava forts, with twenty-eight guns, were
turned over to the British troops. \ gar
rison was placed there, and the British
troops proceeded to Mandalay last Saturday
and Theebaw surrendered himself to Gen
Prendergast. Burmah will now be required
to cede part of her territory to India, ever
if the British Lion does not decide to take
the whole.

Spain, it would seem, is to have season
of peace. Alfonso the late king, having no
male heirs, his eldest daughter, the Princess
of the Asturias, becomes Queen. She is but
in her sixth year, and her mother was de-
clared Regent until she reaches aproper age
to ascend the throne A new Cabinent has
been formed, which has been generally
approved throughout Spain. Don Carlos,
who claims the Spanish throne, and be-
tween whose family and the Monarchists
there have been rival claims, resulting often
in revolution, for fifty years, is disposed to
acquiesce He will do so, provided mar
rage can be arranged between his eldest
son, Prince Jaime, and the Princess Of the
Asturias. BY such union both families
would be represented in the government,
and peace thus be secured. 1t is thought
this political marriage will be arranged.

Honors are easy between the United
States and Canada. The latter country
has been the refuge of defaulting cashiers
and thieving bank clerks for some years.
Now there seems to be an epidemic of pos
tai robberies in Canada, and defaulting post
masters and thieving postal agents and
clerks seek refuge in this country. How
would an exchange do, in the manner that
prisoners are exchanged during war?

Religious Awakening.

An Episcopalian revival has been organ
lied in the city of New York, which COM
menced last Sabbath and will be continued
each day during advent. Strangers are to
be introduced in all the churches partlcl-
pating in the Emissions" as likely to attract
more attention than the regular rectors.
Seats are free and no collections are to be
taken up. Short addresses are to be made,
and services will be held at earl y morning
for those whose duties will not permit them
to attend at any other time, later morn
inc service for business men, at noon for
women, an afternoon meeting for children:
and the regular mission services at night.
These missions will be much the same IN
effect as the Methodist revivals, but not so
demonstrativc. They will be earnest, sol
emn, and deeply devotional, designed to
awaken new interest and Il more active zeal
in all the churches. The practice OF hold
inc missions has long been in vogue In
England, where they have resulted in much
general good. 1t is believed they will aid
in a general awakening in this country
wherever they may be zealously put into
practice

There Will be No Acting Vice
President.

The President pro tempore of the Senate
to be chosen when Congress meets next
Monday, will not be acting Vice-Presldent,
as many individuals andpapers suppose. He
will simply be President pro tempore. If
he were acting Vice-President he could not
be Senator Besides he does not act as
Vice-President. The duties of a Vice
President are merely to preside over the
Senate. and he has no vote except In the
event of tie. He is not Senator. The
law provides for the election of President
pro tempore, and he presides when the
Vice-President is not present, and has a
vote upon all matters, the same as other
Senators The fact that he presides over
the Senate does not make him Vice resi-
dent any more than presiding over the
Senate makes Vice President Senator.
The President pro ten,p0re of the Senate
is by law the next in succession to the
Presidency after the death of the Vice
President, and this is why some papers,
among them the learned and erudite New
York World, have spoken of the next
President pro tempore of the Senate as
becoming acting Vice-President. He can
not be acting Vice-President, because his
duty is not the duty of the Vice-President,
Suppose that after the next session of Con
gress closes the President pro tempore OF
the Senate should die, the next in the line
of succession would be the Speaker of the
House. Would he be acting ce-President?
Certainly not He would only be Speaker
of the House, and next in the line of sue
cession. 1t is not correct to speak OF the
next President pro ten.p0re of the Senate
as acting Vice-President.

Congress will meet on Monday next, and
the session will be one whose proceedings
will be of more interest than that of any
that has assembled for some years. twill
be the first session under the new Admin
istration, and will be the first Congress
addressed by Democratic President since
the retirement of James Buchanan, in
March, 1861. The Presidents message
will not only be summary of events dur
ing the year, but will contain suggestions
and recommendations in which will be con-
tanned the policy of the government. This
document will be- for that reason, one of
interest and Importance, and It's effect on
the country and Congress is eagerly awaited.
