passing favorably not only upon the
legality of the bonds but upon our re-
sponsibility to pay them. Mr. Peters is
most considerate with bis opinions, and
his appearance on the scene is very opper-
tune.

Glove laughs at locksmiths" and at yellow
fever too. Two recently recovered yellow fever
patients were married this afternoon whose
story is most romantic one. Among the first
to be attacked with the fever, about August
9Th was John w. Saunders. A day Or two
later Miss Emma A. Bywater from the same
house was taken down with the disease. Both
were sent to Sandhills. They had been low
ers, and both had very bad cases. Until the
period of convalesence came, although in ad-
joining rooms neither knew of the others
presence there or even illness. When they
were able to sit up were allowed to see each
other and meeting was very affectionate
and not without an element of the
pathetic. Their marriage took place yes

A poor little white girl was in the relief

the poor little thing burst out crying, and it
was sometime before she could control her
emotion sufficient to make known the fact that
her mamma had died and there was nothing
in the house to eat. This is indeed pitiable
case and there are no doubt many others quite
as sad.
Early in the epidemic the question of en-
ployment of unacclimated nurses was brought
up, the opinion prevailing among authorities
that they would be likely to take the fever
and become burden rather than help to the
community. Still they were allowed to come
here, and now many of them are already down
with the disease and requiring the attention of
nurses instead of attending the sick themselves.

Selma has extended her quarantine to include

A correspondent at Decatur in a special to-

type of typhoid malarial fever, and is even
more fatal than yellow fever. He says that
while grading a new street recently an old
cemetery was crossed and that all kinds of de-
cayng vegetable and other matter was left ex-
posed in the sun for several days. The street
was then covered with gravel from the bottom
of the Tennessee, which was covered by de-
cayed matter. He says for days the stencil

The late Richard A. Proctor, it appears, had

AN Indianapolis dispatch to the New
York World says that the Republican
camp in Indiana has been much shaken
up by the strained relations between
Mr.. Blaine. and Mr.. Harrison and Gen.
Hovey, the Republican candidate for
Governor. The situation was empha-
sized on Thursday by the singular
appearance of Mr.. Blaine speaking from
the rear of General Alger's private car
and General Hoyey speaking at the
same station from the rear of an ordin-
ary coach. The correspondent writes ::
Republicans are dIsgustei at this out
come of a personal spite which cannot
be buried now, and at Mr.. BIaine's
refusal to meet General Hovey. 1t was
commented upon as extraordinary that
while Mr.. Blaine was speaking at
Tomlinson Hall Genera! Hovey re-
mained at the New Dennison, scarcely
a block away. The conclusion that In
diana Democrats reach is that Mr..
Blaine is determined to knife the Re-
publican ticket. He stabbed it in New
York by his Endorsement of trusts. He
came to Iediana againsh the express
wishes of Mr.. Harrison. He did not
| dare stab Mr.. Harrison iE the latter 3
own State, but by snubbiug General
Hovey and aiding in his defeat he
might indirectly assist in defeating the
National ticket"

They Give IL Up.

So far as the argument on the issue is
concerned the Republicans have aban-
doned the field to the Democrats. They
nave Changed their tactics altogether
and now rely soley upon what they can
accomplish with the lavish and corrupt
use of money. The monopoly beneficial.
ries OF the high tariff have contributed
largely OF the tariff bounties wrunp
from labor to the Republican campaign
fund. They have poured their surpius
cash into the lap of Boss QUAY and eyery
dollar they have contributed was coined
out or the sweat and blood of aworking-
man. They use the very money the
tariff has enabled theme to wiring from
labor To purchase the success of mono
poly candidates who will contirue to
aid them IN crushing labor.
Boss Quay's methods are well under
stood In THIS State. They are utterly
ineffective without the corrupt expendi-
ture of money. They are based entire
ly on the idea that voters and election
officers and political workers are pur-
chaseable- The large sums raised for
the use or the boss by the PHILADELPHIA
monopol1sts are to be applied in what
are called the pivotal States-New
York. Connecticut and Indiana. For
tunately the Democratic National Com
mite is fully apprised Of Boss Ouay,s
schemes and will do Its utmost to check.

require large outlay to meet the ex-

the fraud and corruption that

committee has no rich monopolies to
draw upon and is dependent entirely

Mr.. Biaine's FlOunderIng.

Orator Blaine hath two tones to his
voice. In the capitalIstic East he ridi-
culed the outcTy against trusts and said
they were "largely private affairs with
which neither the national government
nor private citizens have any particular
call TO interfere.
In the mortgaged and struggling
West Mr.. Blaine finds 1t polite Co con-
cede that trusts are, as the WORLD
has described them. "pIivate affairs for
public robbery" But he says all the
bad trusts are ''of Democratic origin. Z"
How puerile The great leader must
indeed have lost his virile grip upon
public questions.
There may be Democrats in control
of trusts (though this is not true OF the
Standard Oil, as Mr.. Blaine impiled),
just as there are Democratic beneficial
ries of the tariff for bounties. But the
Democratic policy is not changed for
that reason. The party proposes to
make waI on trusts, Just as it proposes
to cut down the tariff. 1t is a Demo
cratic Attorney General in this State,
backed by a Democratic organization,
who has brought suit against the Sugar
Trust, while the Republican investigat-
ing Committee has taken its hands
off," The Democratic candidate foI
Governor of Michigan may be salt
monOpolist. as Blaine charges. But
the Democratic bill puts salt on the free
list.
The tariff notoriously promotes trusts
by enabling combinations to contro
this market. This "foster mother o
trusts" Mr.. Blaine's party proposes Il
keep in full vigor forever. And hi!

trusts will not te accepted as opposition

"OLD HUTCH" of Chicago, the man
who cornered wheat and sent it up
away above its market price made
thousands of poor people suffer and
contribute TO his wealth. It mattered
little TO him, with a million at his COM
mand, whether the loaves OF bread grew
smaller and the price larger, he would
not suffer, but to the poor, who must at
all times stretch the loaf To its utmost,
it means hunger. But however we may
condemn the action of "Old Hutch"
and his method of making money it is
only on par with the monopolists who
under system of tariff protected trusts
extort from the people prices for their
goods far beyond their value and by
liberal and lavish contributions to the
managers of the 6. o. p. seek to have
the high prohibitory tariff continued
and their system of robbing perpetu-
ated. 'SOld Hutch" put the tariff on
wheat and robbed the people by his
own ingenuity aided by his wealth,
while the benefciaries OF the tariff,
with the same object in view. expect the
g. o. p. to keep up the tariff or in other
words do the cornering. II is the same
system OF Iobbing worked under differ
ent names. The one in the category of
crime finds his PARALLEL in the highway
man while the other would bemore fitly
represented by a sneak thief.

ONE OF the most APPALLING railroad ac-
cideuts that ever occurred in Pennsyl-
wanna happened at Mud Run. near
WIikesoarre, on the Lehigh Valley
Railroad, on Thursday OF las. week.
The celebration of Father Matthew's
day attracted thousands of people to
Hazelton. Seven long excursion trains
each drawn by two locomotives left
HazeIton at 5 O'Clock in the evening.
on their return trip Inder orders to
proceed at not less than ten minutes
apart, all crowded With people who had
been attending the celebration during
the day. The first .our trains passed
through without mishsp. but the ffth
which left Hszelton at $50 on reaching
Mud Run. a small station, without re-
ceiving any orders to go ahead, pulled
out about 500 yards from the Station
and stopped, first sending out fiagman
with signals to warn section six that
was following. The signals were either
not noticed or disregsrded and section
six drawn by two engines dashed into
the rear OF the standing train. The
front engine plowed its way for dis
tance of twenty feet into the rear car
which was filed with men, women and
children, nearly all of whom were killed.
The rear car was also driven into the
next car almost half its length ana the
slaughter was fearful. The scene di-
rectly after the ACCIDENT was one OF
horror to which no words could do JUS
tice. Jammed in among tbs broken
woodwork of the cars were the dead
and dying their blood spattered over
everything and the grosns and shrieSs
of those still living were heart render
ing. Sixty-ive were taken out dead or
died in short time afterward and
hundred more are badly hurt. The
cause OF the accident is being investi-
gated and whoever is responsible should
be promptly punished. 1t was caused
by no sudden breaking or unforeseen ac-
cident, but by inexcusabls careless
ness and should be followed by prompt
and sure punishment.
