Railroad Discrimination.
THE REPUBLICAN, CONVENTION REFUSES
TO ACT IN THE MATTER.

At the meeting of the Republican
state convention in Harrisburg, July s,
the Republican party placed itself on
record when Senator Emery presented
the following which was referred to
the committee on resolutions
"Resoiced, That the Republicans of
Pennsylvania demand tie prompt and
complete enforcement of the constitu-
ttonat provisions prohibiting railroap
discrimination"
When the resolution was read in the
committee Chris Magee promptly re-
marked "Well, now well soon get
rid of that"
Aud they did
Cyrus Elder made speech against
it.
81 am well aware this is vexed
question:" said Senator Emery 10 advo-
cacy of the resolution sit has vexed
the party since 1868 in the national
convention. The wall comes up from
the Atlantic to the Pacific asking for
aid in this matter. The national con-
vention at Chicago,of which l was
member, spoke of it. You can no
longer dodge this question. do wish
to bring it before the people of the
state of Pennsylvania, for the Demo
cratic governor of the state has spoken
of it in his message. l understand
that there will be special session of
the legislature next January to consid-
er anti-discriminatiou and apportion-
ment bills. The time will come when
it will be partisan issue. The wis
dom of the constitutional convention
placed clause in the constitution,
then why, as loyal citizens, should we
not enforce the action of the constitu-
tion. 1t is question we cannot dodge.
What say in regard to the Demo
Gratis is true. They intend to put it
into their platform, and we should
meet them. l know the question is a
difficult one. A well-known gentleman
said to me recently: This question
must be met, and the transportation
companies should get together as soon
as possible and agree upon something"
Magee renewed his objections and
the resolution to declare for the en-
forcement of the constitution was in
definitely postponed by oica coce
vote.

Gov Hoyt on his own Ex-seoretary Of State

Pennsylvaniaus of all shades of par
ty feeling cannot forget the sense of
burning shame that overwhelmed them
when few days before the election of
1882 Governor Hoyt, with a courage
worthy of the situation, penned the fol-
lowing:
"When reflect upon the humilia-
tion attempted to be put upon myself
as chief.magistrate for resisting some
Of the purposes of an irksome domina-
tion which puts politics above adminis-
trative propriety and when | recur to
the force Of the insulting methods ap-
piled to myself by means of threats
intrigue and bad faith, | realize the re-
grets of Cardinal Woolsey that he had
not served God with half the zeal he
served his king. In the name of de-
cency, and in behalf of my successor,
] wish to emphasize the curse of the
whole business, and send a note of
warning TO the whole people. Selfre-
spect compels me to this avowal."
AS soon as that letter was given to
the public Matthew S. Quay resigned
the Office of secretary of the Common
wealth. AS the manipulation of the
pardon of the riot bill bribers and the
head of the corrupt treasury ring, Gov.
Hoyts cold steel was too much for him.
This is the man who has the audacity
now to ask the people for a vlndica-
ton of his blistered official life!

WASHINGTON LETTER.
lFrom our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON. ID. c., Oct. ,,2S, 1885.

The present occupant of the White
House can always be found at his place
of business. During the week the
whole fashionable world within reach
of the Washington race course have
beena attending the autumn races.
President Arthur!could always be found
there, usually in company with Attor-
ney General Brewster, President
Cleveland is known to be an admiror
of horses and during the meeting of
the Jockey Club, prominent men be-
longing to it made an effort to have
him attend, but the chief executive
would not be moved.
Mr.. Cleveland would have liked to
have visited Richmond, Va, during
the past week on the occasion of the
State Far, but he was afraid that his
presence might be construed as trying
to influence the election in that state
After consultation with the Cabinet,
the trip was abandoned. However, he
will go to New York next week to vote
and it is understood that he will not
make any more important appointments
until his return.
Much nonsense has been circulated
recently concerning lack of harmony
in the Cabinet, and the resignation Of
certain of its members is now being
discussed It is believed by persons
who would be most likely TO know,
that the President receives the most
cordial support from his Cabinet, and
that their relations are not strained in

Lincoln's Assassin.
JOHN WILKES BOOTH AGAIN DECLARED
TO BE ALIVT.
A HIGHLY IMPROBABLE TALE NARRATED
BY A GENTLEMAN OF ALABAMA,
WHO CLAIMS THAT lie
HAS PROOF.

A gentleman of Birmingham, Ala,
will soon have published book which
he has written, giving complete
history of the life of John Wilkes
Booth, incidents of the killing of Lin
coin, and where Booth went after the
killing, together with positive proof
that no is alive to-day. The author is
able to produce letters with documents
of different kinds, bearing the post
mark of Cairo, Egypt, Japan and other
foreign points, besides photographs of
Booth IN different costumes.
Producing letter bearing an Egypt

"That letter is from j. Wilkes Booth,
that proves beyond the shadow of a
doubt the fact that he is alive and well

"The night of the shooting Booth
had hired an Irishman TO impersonate
him for $l,0D0. The man had a horse
outside waiting, and when Booth left
the Opera House he mounted the AMI.

Creek There the two men changed
clothes, and Booth, disguised as an

has ever seen the corpse with broken
leg. The night after the shooting

Sculptor Mills and slept The next
morning he was on the street, disguised
as a common Irish laborer.

was posted all about the excitement

When in the barn, Harold, who was
on the inside, shouted to Boston Cor

and the man who looked like him was
only playing part. Stanton knew it
was not Booth when he paid over the
81 900 reward, for he secured a por-

Pension Office Romances.
now THE GOVERNMENT IS CHEATED BY
MANY BOGUS CLAIMANTS.

A good many romantic stories are
coming out of the Pension Office savor-
ng of cunning fraud. One of the
latest is that two families have been re-
Gently united through conflicting appli-
cations. In one case a Connecticut
widow applied for a pension and the
records show that the man on whose
account she claimed it was himself
drawing the pension through the Cali
fornia agency. When informed Of it
she asked his address declaring that
she had mourned him as dead for
twenty years Another case OF a
similar character reverses the tale, the
supposed widow having drawn the PEN
ion of her husband who had disappear
cd. When he applied the facts came out.
this last case the man had applied in
1868, but he had not been heard of
again until recently, the alleged widow
having in the meantime applied and
proved her claim.
The probability is that very large
fraud is at the bottom of these Pen.
sion Office romances. 1t has from time
to time been discovered that informa-
ton as to pensions, back pay and
bounty has been given out in the
Washington offices, where the records
show that no applicant has been made
or where the applicant has not been
heard from for many years, the data
being furnished whereon TO base
successful bogus claim. The bogus
claimant is usually the tool of some
swindling claim agent, who is the con-
federate outside. These agents make
the testimony fit the case and usually
do so with comparative impunity, as
the real claimant rarely turns up. The
Connecticut soldier drawing his pen
sion in California is not easily detect.
ed, unless widow or the same soldier
turns up somewhere else with claim.
There are good many such from
auces'' on file in the Second Auditors
Office. Some are more extraordinary
than those given out at the Pension
Office. A widow conflicting with her
husband dead by afiidaviD is a mild
case. They involve such startling
factors as two or three identical sold
iers, two or three mothers of the same
soldier, several only sisters, two faith
ers, etc. A romance of soldier who
died, leaving couple of widows, three
mothers and two fathers to mourn his
loss and scramble for his back pay,
bounty and pension and, to add to the
departmental dilemma, suddenly comes
to life and puts in his own personal
application is none too strong for the
Second Auditors office.

SUsoUEnANNA, Oct. 25,-The joint
funeral of the four murdered Howell
children took place this afternoon. The
scene at the little farm house, three
miles from Starruca, was one to affect
the hardest heart, The four little bod
les were stretched out upon table in
room adjoining that in which the
wounded father lay. Before being
put in the little cottins that had just
arrived, they were carried one by one
into their fathers presence, he having
expressed wish to see them He
showed no emotion until the boy, his
little Dennis, the last to be shown him.
was brought in, when gleam of suff-
ering intelligence seemed to pass over
his face They were then placed in
their cotfins and put into the hearscs,
two in each, and the funeral wound
down through the sinuous Starruca
Valley to the little hamlet nestled
among the hills, where the services
were to be held.
There in the Methodist Church, the
Rev. Mr. Remsen, a Baptist clergy
man, of Aldenvile, Wayne County,
who had made the Howells husband
and wife, prea chcd touching sermon
to crowd gathered from far ard near
to the number of 1000. His text was
"Suffer little children to come unto
NO." The four little collins that had
been carried into the church by eight
little lads and little girl., playmates of
the dead children, stood in row in
from of the pulpit and at the close of
the sernio the large crowd of plain
country folk passed slowly by, gazing
at the waxen faces of the murdered
little ones. Many tears fell, and moth
ers clasped their own darlings closer
to their breasts, shuddering at the
dreadful spectacle. When all had
passed by the collins were again closed
and put in the hearses and the cortege
moved on to the cemttery, where the
last rites were to be performed. There
the four children were buried side by
side in one large grave, and the crowd
silently dispersed, sad and dspirited.
Yesterday afternoon coroner's jury
rendered verdict TO the effect that
Dennis, aged IL Esther, aged 8 ;
Fanny, aged 6, and Rose, aged 2, came

The Primary Election Law.
THE SUPREME COURT EyADEs TIE CUES
TIoN OF ITS CoNsTITUTIoNALITY.

In the Supreme Court at Pittsburg
a ease has been decided in which the
constitutionality of the Primary elect
ion laws of the State was distinctly in
volved, but in the opinion handed down
the issue was very cleverly lodged.
The case came up from the Common
Pleas Court of Greene county, and was
entitled "Common wealth for use of
Poor Directors of Greene County vs..
Wells" and was an action brounght to
recover 5000, the amount of a wager
made on the result of primary elect
ion, aDd S400 additional, the penalty
prescribed under the General Election
law in the Court below.
The decision was in favor OF Wells,
Judge Ingram holding that the amount
could not be collected, for the reason
that the Primary Election law was not
Constitutional. In the opinion filed
the Court affirmed the judgment of
the Court below to the extent of saying
that the money could not be collected,
but refrained from touching on the
constitu,ionality of the law, saying
that the question had not been raised
properly in brief, the Court held that
the action must be brought under
specific statute, and as the Primary or
General Election laws did not provide
against betting on primaries, there was
nothing upon which claim could be
based. Ii was intimated that il the
question of constitutionality was
squarely raised the law would be splint-
cred.

Our republican contemporaries
through the state, that have made so
much ado whenev- they imagined
they could find anything unsavory in
the record of any appointee of the
democratic national administration,
have not had so much to say about
David Mouat now running as a repub-
lican candidate for member of council
in Philadelphia. This same man has
but recently served term in Moy-
amensing, for election frauds, and his
record is so bad that even the Phila-
delphia Press cannot endorse it and
calls upon the republicans of the ward
where Mouat was nominated, to with
draw his name and substitute come one
who is not a jail-bird Mouat like
Quay, is seeking vindication, and is
not likely to withdraw from the ticket.
II the republicans of Philadelphia shall
vindicate him, they will have no room
TO crilicise any democratic appointment
hereafter.
