Strange Governor Beaver.

We are told that Governor Beaver is

JohnstOwn sufferers Immediately foi-
lowing the disaster. We are told. also,
that the money has not be- called for
sooner because there has been no use
for it.
1t has been the popular belief that
there has not been a moment since .he
COnsmaugh dam burst that there has
not existed a pressing need for this and
much larger sums, need that actually
exists at the present moment. What on
earth does Governor Beaver mean when
he asserts that there has been and is Eot
now any need for the Boston contribu-
tiOns. What does he propose to 90 with
them ? The question is as easy to an
sweT as what has become with other
sums on which no possible light can be

fixed belief, or there has been dis

Madness Without Meth Cd.

The hgpOcritical demagoguic resOlu-
tiOn Il opening the license question,
which was adopted by the late Republi-
can State convention, is arOusing a de-
termined opposition among the thought
ful and right minded men OF the Repub-
iIcan party. II has utterly failed to
piacste the prOhib:tionisJs, as IL was in
tended To 30. and on the other hand il
has stirred the hbeTly-loving masses TO
mutiuy.
Forty five German societies of Ale
Chsny county, representing some 10. 600
voters, bave denounced this Republican
license resolution aud declared their
opposition 20 candidate Boyer and the
Republican leaders who passed the resO-
luton. This is only the beginning of
what is 20 come. The voters of Penn
sylvania who believed that their deci-
sion at the polls on the 18th OF jane
last, given bY majority OF nearly 200. 600,
would be final settlement OF the license
question, do not intend TO be cheated
out of their victory.
If the gods first make mad those
whom they wish 10 destroy they must
have anuihilatiOn in store for the Repub-
lican party OF Pennsylvania. For If ever
men were mad they who determined to
reopen the license question in the Re-
publican State convention must have
been in the veTv deliTium OF dementla,

THE religious census of the country
IS regularly taken every year by the
New York Independent. For 1SSS it
figures out a total OF PC. 667, 600 com

Baptis next with 4.OTS, $50 then the
Presbyt 1,1S0, 1l3, the Lulherans
99S, 900, the Eplscopalians 4JO G42. And
SO on down to the SwedenborgIaus with
g 600. There are 142, 7GT churches in
the country and 90 322 ministers. The
Independent takes courage over its fig

churches and as many ministers every
day, with "a daily harvest of 24O souls
is not symp:omatic of that decay which
certain skeptics profess TO discover in

The BekTing Sea Job.

There would be reader sympathy
with Nj. BIains's Behring Sea policy If
1t was clear that its purpose was Just
and not speculative.
Uul1ckily that IS anything but clear.
The closure of the sea is in no way
necessary To the protection OF the seals

the protection of the monopoly OF seal
fishing now enjoyed by a single cOTpo-
rate company by virtue of a grant from
the United States. of which that CON-
pany expects TO secure al early renewal.

any American citiZsn to kill seals in
Alaska without license from this NOS

bidding foreigners 10 kill seals OF catch

The only apparent purpose OF the at
tempt to close the sea is To promote the
interest of this powerful monopoly
whose members feed Fat upon their un>
Just exactions. And for that improper
purpose Mr.. Blaine, who on one mem
oraole occasion declared that be was
never deadhead in any enterprise.
