A BAD CROWD.

They Take Possession of n saloon, Destroy
Property, and End by RObbing the
Place.
Between and . o'clock yesterday morn
ing John BOblett and Dan Kearns were re-
returning from Clifton with Missouri and
Matilda Shane. When they reached
Krauss' saloon, on south Limestone street,
just outside of the corporate limits, they
left their carriage and entered the place
by pushing in the door. krauss
was in town, and the quartette took
possession of the place, and Boblett
amused himself and the others
by shooting holes through the ceiling and
windows with his revolver, and the whole
gang helped themselves to the wet goods of
the house. After taking about Sl1 out of
the till they jumped into their rig and came
to town. Officers Nicklas and Mast took
up the case and now have the parties all in
jail. The arrested persons are a bad lot
and deserve t. be handled severely.

OWING to the the heavy draft upon
his salary resulting from the generous
hospitalities attendant upoh his official
position. as we'll as to the numerous
charitable PURPOSES to which he respon-
ded, and especially those growing out
of the war, Gen. Hancock died a poor
man. Immediately after his death a
movement was made in New York by
Generals William F. Smith, T. L. Crit
tenden and other army officers who
knew the dead hero and appreciated
his sterling worth, TO raise an adequate
fund for his widow. The project has
met with liberal and praiseworthy en-
couragement. Several gentlemen, in
cluding Mr.. Tilden, Geo. w. Childs
and A. ]. Drexel, the two latter being
from Philadelphia, having contributed
$1,000. many others $500, and a large
number $3.50, The fund now amounts
to about $50, 600, and it is expected that
It will ultimately reach double that sum

Stick to the Old Landmarks.

The vital difference between true
Democracy and Republicanism is that
the former believes in as little, and the
latter in as much government as is con-
sistent with the objects for which gov
ernments are established. Through all
fluctuations Of opinion in matters less
essential, through al changes and in
consistencies of attitude from year to
year or from generation to generation,
this distinction has lasted. A Repub-
lican, whatever may be his dogmas as
to hard money or soft money, foreign
affairs or economic policies, can always
find in the Constitution, or out OF it, if
need be, authority for the Government
Of the United States to assume and use
what powers it will. A Democrat, in
so far as he is Democrat, comedies to
the Federal Government no powers not
expressly granted, or necessary to, and
germane with, the exercise Of some ex-
pressly granted power.
Is this long cherished distinction
fading away We see measure after
measure brought before Congress for
widening the authority and province OF
the Federal Goverument-measu
that, whether meant for good or evil
by those who originate them, are blows
at the faculty of self-reliance and at
local autonomy-measures which aim
TO swell the central power to dangerous
dimensions. Schemes to embark the
United States in the business of owning
and running canals and telegraph lines,
schemes 20 educate the illiterare in the
several States at the expense of the
general Government, find strong advo-
Cacy in both houses of Congress. A bill
which makes the United States trustee
in the management of the affairs of p
powerful religious sect has passed the
Senate. Some of the other paternal
government schemes appeared to be in
fair way to become law.
And not all Democrats can be counted
on to oppose them. Indeed, they find
strenuous Democratic support. 1t is a
bad sign. 1t will be an evil day when
any considerable portion OF the Democ-
racy throws down the main partition
between itself and government-stIetch
ing Republicanism.- Y. Sun.

JOHN B. COUCH, the eloquent tenn
perance lecturer, died in Philadelphia
on yesterday week, from the effects of
a stroke Of paralysis which he sustained
in that city on the previous Monday,
while lecturing on his favorite subject.
He was an Engllshman by birth, and
was in the Goth year of his age. He
came to this country about forty-6ve
years ago, and two or three years after
wards, having then quit drinking, to
which he had been a submissive slave,
he began his career as a temperance
lecturer at Worcester, Massachusetts,,
in 1943. From that time up te his death
he kept straight on delivering temper
ance lectures in all parts of the country,
and it Is estimated that be has spoken
to more than nine millions ot people
and travelled over Ave hundred thousand
miles in meeting his appointments. He
possessed wonderful power oyer his
audiences and his oratory was of kind
that swayed the multitude and appealed
directly to the conscience and self-inter-
est Of the victims of intemperance. He
had probably converted more drunkards
than any man that ever lived in this
country. He never believed that men
could be made temperate by Constitu-
tionsl Prohibitory Amendment. but en-
deavored to enforce the principles he
advocated by aiming his efforts at ipdi-
vidual reformation. He had no equal
as an effective advocate of and tireless
worker in the true cause of temperance,
and it is entirely safe to say that In that
cause one man like John B. Cough is
worth more than all the prohibitory
amendments that may be adopted from
now until the end of the present GEN.
tury.

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that
the Fitz John Porter bill express
Iy declares that be shall not receive
any back pay, the Johnstown Tribune
undertakes 10 mislead it's readers by
saying that ''if Fnz John Porter is Ie-
instated in the army, the next thing will
be the restoring to him of about hun
dred thousand dollars Of back pay,
which amount he would have received
had he not been cashiered, etc" The
bill, as we have stated, in direct terms
excludes all idea of pay from the time
Of the sentence OF the court-martial, up
to the time the bill now before Congress
becomes q law, if it passes and is ap-
poovCd by the President. Fitz john
Porter is not seeking to get one fsrthing
from the public treasury. He simply
asks Congress to wipe out and expunge
the sentence of a military court founded
on an imperfect and One-sided investI-
CATION of the case, and to do him that
plain justice TO which the subsequent
military board. composed of Generals
Schoheld, Terry and Getty, said in its
exhaustive report after several months
examination of the facts, he was clearly
entitled, and which General Grant, who
had patiently and thoroughly investi-
gated the entire case, so stOutly main
tained should be meted out to him. The
Tribune will never be happy as long as
there is a prospect that justice will be
done to Fitz John Porter.
The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1886-02-26

THE Fitz John Porter bill passed the
lower branch of Congress on yesterday
week by vote of III yeas, to 113 nays.
Twelve Republicans voted in favor of
the bill, two of whom are from this
State, viz: Thomas M. Bayne, who
represents one of the Allegheny county
districts, and Alfred e. Hsrmer, of the
Fifth Philadelphia district. The bill is
now in the Senate and it is believed by
its friends that it will pass that body.
Just before the bill passed the House
Ex-Governor Curtin delivered a very
able speech in its favor, in the course of
which, speaking of Porter, he said 81
know the man we'll, sir. He was the
first military officer of this government
who came to me at the beginning of the
war, and of all the men who did come
and there were many-he was the
mos faithful, vigilant, active and intel.
ligent." And again: eff Fitz John
Porter is a traitor I am One.n The
concluding speech in favor of the bill
was made by General Bragg, of Wiscon-
sin. who fought under Porter at the
second Bull Run Battle, and who was
perfectly familiar with all of Porter's
military movements. The most re-
markable feature of the debate was a
statement made by General James g.
Negley, who represents the Pittsburg
district, who charged Porter with Sc.
cretIy advising Gen. Robert Patterson,
os this State, who commanded at Har.
per's Ferry, against a movement in.
tended to prevent the junction of the
forces of the rebel Generals Johnston
and Beauregard, before the first battle
of Bull Run, and which, il executed in
time, might have prevented the defeat
of the Union arms in that engagement.
This, of course, is bald, naked lie, and
if that noble old Irish American patriot
Gen. Patterson, who fought in the wal
of 1872, the Mexican war and the late
civil war, was not in his grave, and his
lips sealed, Negley never would have
given utterance to such an unfounded
accusation.

IT is an old saying that corporations
have no souls, and although this may
not be literally true of all corporate
bodies, it is emphaticaliy true of rail-
road company in Indiana, as the follow
ing statement abundantly proves
About four years ago William Guyton
was brakeman on train on the Evans
Vile and Terre Haute railroad. His
train collided with a freight. Guyton
was wedged between the tender and ca
boose, but succeeded in extricating
himself. He was badly injured and
that a passenger train was due in five
minutes. He gathered himself up, tied
his handkerchief around his msngled
hand, and with led flag staggered up
the track to warn the approaching train.
Twice he fell exhausted and weak, but
with indomitable pluck be arose each
time and reached a trestle five hundred
yards from the collision just as the pas
senger train came up. His signal was
seen, thus preventing serious loss Of
life. Then the brave fellow tainted
and remained unconscious fol two days.
He finally recovered, but was crippled
for life. He presented the physician 8
bill 10 the railroad company, but pay
ment was refused. Suit was then in
stituted for $4,000 damages, and after
several changes Of venue and other de-
lays jury one day last week rendered a
verdict giving Guyton s5,093 damages.

IT has long been believed by those /
who were somewhat familiar with the
subject, that an immense amount OF /,
fraud and peculstiOn was connected
with the management of the Soldiers
Orphans Schools. That this belief is
we'll founded was demonstrated by the
PhiIapelphia Record on Monday last, In
a six column article devoted exclusively
to the management of these schools.
The Record article establishes the fact
that nine ont of the ten schools of the
State are conducted for speculative
purposes, and that four of shem, those
located at Mount JOY, Chester Springs,
McAIlisterville and Mercer, are owned
and run 10y a combination consisting of
George W. Wright, an ex-State Sena-
tor from Mercer county, and James l..
Paul, who, up until the first of January,
strange as it may seem, was Chief Clerk
/ of the Department of Orphans Schools
at Harrisburg. Out of these four
/ schools these men, by their peculiar
system of mismanagement, have prof
tied to the extent of about $50, 900 each
year. These schools are not directly
managed by the State, but those who
have control Of them are paid a specific
amount per week for each child, and the
law requires that they shall be fed and
clothed in addition to their instruction
in educational and industrial pursuits.
The requirements Of the law have been
shamelessIy disregsrded, and the mu-
nificent bounty of the State, freely
bestowed for a noble purpose, has been
diverted from its legitimate channel to
enrich the pockets of set of speculat'
ing scoundrels. The Record article is
so startling in its details that speedy
and thorough investigation into theiI
truth will no doubt be instit uted by
Governor Pattison. The soldiers Of The
Grand Army of the Republic, whC
have always manifested a deep solici
tude in the welfare Of the schools
avow their determination to have thu
matter probed to the bottom and tha
! no guilty man shall escape. The Stat,
/ appropriates $3.50, 900 annually for tn,
support of the schools, and since the.
3 were organized in 1856 the aggregat
E appropriations have amounted to eigh
? millions of dollars.

SINCE the establishment of the sol
diers' orphan schools in Pennsylvania
II, S07 pupils have been admitted, at an
expense of upward OF eight millions Of
dollars to the State, or about SIX hun
dred and twenty five dollars for each
pupil. For various reasons many of
the orphans admitted did not complete
their course, and if allowance were duly
made for such were duly made it would
be seen that this system of education
Is unduly expensive, compared with
the cost of other educational institu-
tiOns. It would have cost the State of
Pennsylvania less to board and educate
those soldiers orphans in excellent pri-
vate boarding schools and academies.
Whilst the education of the soldiers
orphans is in a high degree creditable to
the patriotism of Pennsylvania, it is a
notorious fact that the system has been
prolonged mainly through the active
efforts OF the school proprieters, some
OF whom have farmed the State appro-
priation with great profit to themselves.
By limitation of law pupils will not be
admitted to the schools after June,
1887. but before that time the proprie-
tors will beseech the Legislature of
Pennsylvania for further extension. -
