Outwitted His Mother-In-Law.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. IA peculiar
scene was witnessed on the deck of the Ameri.
steamship British Prince last evening. when
Mrs Mary Hunter. 2 Scotch woman, was
fused landing by Inspector Rodgers The
difficulty grew out of conversation between
Richard McCarney. Mrs. Hunters son-in-law,
and the Inspector Mccartney said that he mar
ried into the Hunter family in England, over
two years ago. and during that time his mother
in-law made his life miserable. She was, he
said the cause of making him enlist in the
English army. and. in fact, drove him from his
home He came to this country and secured
employment in foundry. and since October
last saved money enough to pay his wite and
cnilds passage to this country He received
letter from his wife stating that her mother
coming with her. and he decided that he would
not support the mother. He added that she had
no means of supporting herself, and he would
not do it. Mrs. Hunter, when told that she
could not land If she could not support herself,
became very angry. She was taken back to the
steerage and guarded. She is over fifty years
old, and has no money. Efforts are being made
by some chartably-disposed persons to secure
her employment. In the meantime she will be
kept on board ship, and if she does not secure
work before the ship sails she will be taken back
to England.

He has deserted the platform upon which he
was nominated, and elected-by the skin of his
teeth He has gone back upon the speeches he
made in New Jersey when he foresaw that un-
less he stood souarely upon that platform he
would be defeated. What was that platform
other than protection platform2 What meant
Mr.. Cleveland's visit to the protection State of
New Jersey except TO proclaim to the people of
that State that he meant TO stand or fall by that
platforml
How does the matter stand nowl He has de-
serted that platform. He has utterly ignored
it. Ia what rsspectl That platform says, In
making reduction in taxes it Is not proposed to
in1ure any domestic industries" Will any sane
man say that the putting OF raw materials on
the free lis,, such as WOOL coal, iron ore, etc.
will not inj1re these industries2
Again, Mr. Cleveland has put himself on record
in opposition to any repeal of any part of the in
ternal revenue system, which the platform ex-
pressly declares TO be "a tax And he in
Risis that, In time OF peace, when he knows the
governments has no earthly use for this tag IL
shall be collected just as il the government was
engaged in war and was compelled to raise
revenue by this system OF direct taxation.
The Age does not care snap about the repu-
tation IL may make by its opposition to Cleve-
land. It Is working for the good of the country
and what it believes to be for the good of the
party.

VALENT INES

The festive valentine now decorateth the
shop windows, and in day or two will reach
through the mails and knock at mems weak
nesses and maidens' sentiment. The origin
of the valentine custom is hazy. 1t is
thought to be relic of nature-religion, which
was the primitive form of religion in Europe,
and sprang from recognition of the time of
year when birds chose their mates; SO the
original idea of sending valentines was to indi-
cate whom among the other sex the sender
chose as his mate. The mate best suited to
the greatest number of men is heavy Over

be had of us at reduced prices-and you

WASHINGTON Feb. IL 2-Thers ought to be no
surprise at Indianapolis, and in fact throughout
tine State. at the wonderful energy being put
forth by Indiana Democrats in Washington to
keep Coy and Bernhamer out of the penitentia-
ry. When the Democratic leaders, both here
and at Indianapolis. lay awake of rights or
spend their money or their breath in behalf of
these criminals they are simply working for
themselves. The Journal correspondent learns
that there are very grave fears within the
breasts of number of Hoosier Democrats that
if Coy and Bernhamer are permitted to go to the
renitentiary there will be confessions
which will involve at least score of the gang in
Marion county. Coy is given credit for being

fact that such men as Mcdonald, Voorhees, and

full apprehension that exists To this add the
determination of the Indiana contingent in
Washington to appeal as last resort to the

of an idea of the reign of terror existing among
these people. Who is likely to become involved
in these tally-sheet forgeries by an expose has
not been breathed loud enough for those out

however. that some Democrats who have a

special to the IrdianaDoiis journal
WAsHINGToN, Feb. 12.-The army Of Office
holders in Washington who owe their appoint
ment to Representative Matson are active in
writing to their friends in Indiana in behalf OF
the Colonel for the gubernatorial nomination.
Colonel Matson is candidate for the nomina-
tion, out and out. His friends say there is no
longer any secret or doubt about it. He is re-
ported to have recognized the fact that he can
not be renominased to Congress, and is going his
full length and last call for other political hon.
ors. Colonel Matson has been more successful,
probably, than any other man in the delegation
in securing appointments not excepting Senator
Voorhees,. He has flooded the Pension Office
and the Government Printing Office and the
various other departments with men and
women from his district and all parts Of the
State. No one has any idea how many special
agents in the Pension and Land Offices ne has
secured. There is an army of them, and they
are all doing what they canlto show their graf
itude and secure to the Colonel the nomination
for Governor. Colonel Matson is ardent and
true friend. He stands by the boys, and the
boys will probably stand By him. There is a
feeling here. however, that he will not secure
ance is too closely confined to his district.
Generally, 1t is believed that ex-Secretary Of
State Myers, of Anderson, will secure the nom-
ination for Governor. and the Captains friends
in the State using influence that is al
ready being felt in Washington. Captain Myers,
while in Congress. made good many friends
at the national capital and these are at work ia
their own way to bring about the nomination for
him. He is now on q lecturing tour throughout
the State and his friends say that he is doing more
electioneerine than lecturing; that the object of
his peregrination throughout the State is TO re-
new his acquaintance and work up the county
delegates. Myers is here credited with much
wider acquaintance IN the State than any other
Democrat who has been mentioned for the NOM
ination. unless. possibly, it is James III. Rice.
Rice was in Washington the other day, looking
after the interests of Coy and Bernhamer, and
on his way to New York, where he has extensive
business connections, which extend to Muncie

friends in Washington say he IL making good
