The Goods Were Not there.

Fred Ralph, whose residence was bur
glarized last Saturday night, came rushing
up to police headquarters this morning and
tackled Chief Walker with the breathless
question:
''Where are they?-
Where are who?' asked the astOnished
chief.
why, my goods and the thieves you
Jailed answered Ralph, as soon as he
could get his breath.
The chief explained that the police had
as yet found no trace Of the
thieves or the goods, and Ralph in his turn
explained that he had just been called to
the telephone and told-presumably by
some one at police headquarters-that the
thieves had heen jailed and all the. goods
recovered. Further investigation discovered
that the telephoning had been done from
Carters by Will Webb.

ACQUITTED.

The Suits Against Rev. A. Z. Wagner with
drnwn Yesterday.
Last summer when Laura Craig, OF
Wapakoneta, charged Rev. A. E. Wagner.
pastor of the Second Lutheran church. Of
this city, with being the father Of her L.
legitimate child, great sensation was
created and the brilliant future of the tai
ented young minister was clOuded over
with sorrow. The state law on
bastardy is such that should the most utter
ly lost woman make such q charge against
a citizen of spotless reputation the magis-
trate before whom the first hearing is had
must bind him over to court on the testi-
mony of the woman. Thus he must remain
under the han for months until his case
can come before higher court Thus has
Mr.. Wagner been compelled to let his fair
name rest all these months under dark
cloud, until yesterday the suits for seduc-
tiOn and bastardy were withdrawn. Futher
statements will be made In the near future
which will fully vindicate Mr.. Wagner
from the stain upon his name.
But the injury brought by the Infamous
charge can never be repaired. Mr.. Wagner
was compelled to resign his charge here and
bury himself at Carey, where his sensitive
nature has suffered to an untold extent from
the OblOquy thus cast upon him.

LANCASTER. NOVEMBER 9e, lsss.
The President on Stone.

The president writes a Thanksgiving let
ter to the attorney general about our Mr..
Stone, which was not a cause of Thanks
giving TO Mr.. Stone but TO the people, who
learn that it is not the intent of the presi-
dent to carry the civil service reform idea
to the absurd extent of permitting it to
give free license to government officers in
responsible stations to denounce the gov
ernment policy. The presidents letter
amounts to just this. Mr.. Benton made
speeches in support of the administration,
and Mr.. Stone made speeches againstit Both
ofthema are conceded by the president, for the
arguments sake, TO have made these
speeches while giving all needed attention
to their official duties. The difference be-
tween their acts, which made one fit and
the other unfit to be a United States Off
cial any longer, is simply put upon the fact
that, both being officials of the govern
ment, it was proper for them to sus-
tain it on the stump, or to stay
off the stump not to denounce it. The
president is of opinion that, when the ad-
ministration consents to continue in a fat
office political opponent, proper grace
requires him to withhold his tongue from
denunciation of his benefactors and the
president further maintains that as an
official of the government a proper policy
requires him to refrain from abusing its
policy.
To most persons this will seem to be
sound doctrine. 1t is in the line of the
idea that has heretofore prevailed and
which was formulated into the dogma " n
the victors belong the spols." The presi.
dents argument leads him around to this
doctrine, which he is understood TO have
hitherto stoutly contended against.
There is no withstanding, however,
the logic of facts. While the country
is governed by party, partisans must occu.
py, at least, its important offices because
they are part of the team pulling the coun.
try through; and every team must work in
harmony. II there are plenty of men al
the rope all need not pull, but any who un
dertake to pull back are very likely to bt
put out. Human nature cannot stand that
companionship; and 50 President Cleve
land finds. He thought, when he wen
into office, that he would havt
happy family of non -partisan'
around him to pull altogether for tn,
country's sake; but now he says that
such officials as Stone have destroyed his
faith in working the country on any such
harmonious plan.
The requirement of each officeholder
is: First, that he shall strictly at.
attend to his business and secondly, that
if he does not like the way the country is
being run, he shall let somebody
else express his feelings for him, and avoid
the spectacle of an administration kicking
itself. We are content with these rules.

A Pleasing Revelation.

Mr.. John Roach having declared that 1t
would cost 10 per cent. more to build our
war ships in America than to have them
built abroad is fatty contradicted by the
secretary Of the navy, who by comparison
of vessels now being built for Spain and
France, with those for which bids have
lust been received from American builders
shows that the difference in cost is barely
Is per cent.
This is certainly gratifying to all who
hope TO see American vessels resume their
old position on the seas, as it gives some
slight ground for the hope that the differ
ence of cost may eventually be overcome,
and we may have a merchant marine en-
gagged in international as we'll 5 coasting

American goods and sailors now sail

cause of the restrictive navigation laws de,
signed to encourage American shipbuild

dustry is at last reviving and in due course
of time the flag may fly over vessels, mer

The Atlanta.

There have been many reports afloat Of
the failure of the cruiser Atlanta built
by John Roach, and from what can be
learned of her performa noes on her trial
trip just ended, it will he necessary TO
spend a respectable sum to rebuild her en-.
gines while an error in calculating her dis
placement will be extremely difficult 10
remedy. The requirements for this cruiser
which Roach was continually complaining
of as unreasonably rigid, we are told by
Secretary Whitney were far below the
standard of the vessels for which he now
holds bids.
Roach will try to throw the blame Of
this upon the department which finished
the vessels when he had abandoned them
by his, so-called " failure =; but the
miserable quality of his work, is proved
by the trial of vessel to which the govern.
ment only gave the finishing touches.

A Surprise From California.

The Union iron works, of California,
were the lowest bidders for two of the
government cruisers, the bids for which
the secretary of the navy has Just opened.
Probably most persons will be surprised to
learn that California has an iron works
capable of taking such heavy contracts.
and doubly surprised to find that they can
compete with Eastern works that are sup
posed to be favored far above Ca lifOrnia in
natural advantages for the cheap manu-
facture Of iron work. With the natural
gas and coal and iron ores abounding here
within easy reach of the seaboard, and the
greater cheapness Of our labor, it is indeed
surprising to see California coming in to
take away the contract for million dollar
iron war vessels.
The fact is shown, apparently, that in
the working of iron California has equal
advantages with Pennsylvania, though she
imports her coal and does not have cheap
metal or else she has an enterprising
manufacturing company that is willing to
work for glory rather than profit. There
may be something of this latter founda-

made by the Union iron works, to the
committee of the United States Senate in
vestigating in 1884 the capacity of the
United States to build government ships
and war material, that it would he found
equal to any demand that the government
would make uponit.
These great works have been founded in
California upon the demand there for
heavy mining machinery, in great meas
ure; ana they have built larger pumps than
have ever been built elsewhere in the
world. 1t appeared by the statement before
the committee that they had very
elaborate equipment for heavy iron work.
The surprising statement was made that
California had in great abundance richer
aud purer iron ores than are found else.

cording to Mr. Heron Aliens theory and
demonstrations, the nervous endowment OF
the hand has no counterpart save in that

being produced, not by its physical use, but
py the direction OF the brain. The lecturer
submits himself TO the test Of reading, through
a small aperture, the hands of persons whom
he has never seen. Palmistry can scarcely
fail TO become the fashionable craze OF the
season, through such an accomplished and
agreeable exposition.
