Philadelphia has sensation in the elope-
ment and marriage If Robert Smith, a son
OF Councilman Smith, of that city, with
Silvie TrAnsom, a servant girl at summer
resort in Pennsylvania. Young Smith went
to the Pocona mountains few weeks ago,
and the table at which he ate was waited
upon by the girl whom he married-a neat,
retty girl. He managed to meet her, he
fell in love with her, and he married her.
and now Councilman Smith is trying to
have tie marriage annulled. The groom is
only 16 years old, which accounts in part
for his foolish action. and the bride is IS.

EIectrical xecnt,on.

From the IroRton Register.
They placed the form of the murderev
Upon the electric rack,
And fired LOO volts
Into his naked back.
He quivered an awful moment,
Then quietly raised his head,
Ard asked that his friends might take
The corpus of the dead.
But tn cruel executioner
Again discharged the bolts
At least a score of ohms
And full 1000 volts.
Now this is simply shocking
The murderer did say.

In the good Old-fashioned way"

A professor in the California state uni
versity says he has made discovery that
will revolutiouize the leather industry. His
alleged discovery is that certain combina-
tons Of fat and oils with sulphur COM
pounds, when used in tanning, will make
leather impervious to weather, and render
t SO pliabe as to be almost indestructble.
Shoes made of leather tanned according to
this method would, says the professor, last
five times IS long as the prese 1t ones, aud
would cost no more. THIS country is said
to spend 100000, 0J0 annually for boots and
shoes, and if the California lrofe ,sor's dis
very is put to practical use the people
will regard him as public benefactor, but
good many leather men will have to 60
into some other business.

Tanner Turns himself Loose.

From the Philadelphia Times (Ipd)
II is an open secret that every effort was
made short of a positive command from the
President o. Secretary of the Interior to pre-
vent Commissioner Tanner from attending the
national encampmert. because they feared that
MS wild speeches would seriously cOmplicate
the administration. From q specimen bricks
dropped by Tanner on his way TO the 9 camp
menl, 1t IS obvious that the apPrahensons Of
the President AMI Secretary of the Interior
were well founded; but now Tanner is loose and
there's no power to corral him until he returns
to Washington

"Uncle Jerry" unwit ingly created big
sensation in Washington the other day. He
was toying with tie flag ropes at the white
house, when he lowered the flag to half
mast. Pretty soon some one noticed the
flags position, and he asked somebody else
if the e had been death at the white house
aad from that the rumor Of such an event
spread rapidly. All this time Uncle
Jerry" was sublimely unconscious of the
fact the an uninrentional act of his was
causing much exc,temen- in the city l. is
proper to remark that the "Uncle Jerry''
referred t. is not "Uncle jerry" Ru~k, the
secretary of agricul ure, but a colored
porter at the white house. The secretary of
agriculture seems to have subsided slDce
he sent out his great treatise on the exter-
mination of the English sparrow.

THE NEW CABINET BERTH.


 The proposal to create new cabinet position whose incumbent will have special charge of the agricultural inter- ests is awakening considerable oppo- sition, and some journals are advising the president in case of the passage of the bill to get out his veto pen. It is argued that there is no reason why the agricultural interest more than any other should have aspecial a department | devoted to its care, and that a better ar engagement would be to have a general department of industries, with separate bureaus for the different lines as they might be needed.
 It is suspected that the real reason for creating this additional department is more political than economic, and that the desire to have another berth for some famished favorite is at the bottom of republican interest in its establish ment. The republicans have been es- pecially urgent ill behalf of the measure creating the department since General Harrison's election, and it is presumed that the president-elect would regard its passage with much complacency as furnishing him an opportunity to pay off an additional. political debt. A cab inet place will butter good many political parsnips, and General Harrison would gladly welcome the chance that an additional cabinet ap- pointment would afford him. Neverthe- less, it will not be regarded as good poli- cy to create national offices simply for political purposes. There are offices enough already tempting the cupidity of politicians and inviting political trading and unless better reasons can be urged than have yet been advanced for the az ricultural department President Cleve- land would not go astray in adding one to the vetoes with which he has already assoclated his name. If the other great industries of the country can get along safely and progressively without the care of a special government department, it may be admitted that the agricultural interest can do likewise. And in fact it has hitherto been regarded as doing quite well.
 There will not be much regret we | take 1t, outside of the politicians and a few interested parties, if the agricultu- ral department should not be foisted on the country.

md honor that inspired them.

and honor that inspired them.
 We hear good deal of blatherskite gush in republican papers about political outrages in the south, and when the democracy is on top we are treated to plenty of froth about civil service reform and other virtuous humbugs. But some how the political outrages that are per petrated in Connecticut, where minority rule prevails, where state officers repu- diated by the people are foisted upon them by virtue of an antiQuated consti- tuition, where democratic cities are ruled through the legislature and republican cities are allowed to have home rule, where every office in the gift of the legis- lature that represents minority is grab bed by republicans, where the very rankest injustice sprouts thicker than weeds in the garden-somehow these out rages are passed over in the most eloquent silence by the republican press. Republi- cans have some very beautiful theories about non-partisanship where the demo- crats are in the majority. They can preach with an unction that would deceive the devil himself as they rob their democratic fellow citizens of the dearest political rights that ought to belong to American citizenship. Preaching and prating are the strong points of republicans-practice is one of those vulgar things that they are willir g to leave to the democrats.
 Representative Wolfe made sturdy fight, and the fact that he has succeeded in waking sense of justice in the hearts of two republicans even will be lasting feather in his legislative cap. History does not record that such feat was ever done before, and we think that many moons will pass ere such thing will be known again. Grab is the one thing that republicans are most adept in, and the waters of Niagara could be damned more easily than these unco' righteous individuals could be restrained from grabbing everything in reach. We are not looking for miracles in these days.

THE SAME OLD STORY

The Hartford Times learns that the majority of the senate committee on con- tested elections has voted to report against MT Hubbell's petition for the seat of the thirteenth senatorial district and against opening the Westport ballot box to determine whether miscount was or was not made as alleged. This is the case when bunch of democratic votes is alleged to have been counted for the republican candidates, and has bearing also on the contest for the congressional seat in the fourth district.
 The announcement of the Times has been anticipated from the day when it was announced that MT Hubbell would make contest. Republican majorities are not in the habit of recognizing any claims that democrats may make Might makes right with the ''grand old party" and it is regarded as wicked presump- tion for the democrats to believe that they have any rights in Connecticut They must sit at the second table and if there are any crumbs left that the repub- 1cans don't want they can take them. In fact, we democrats ought to be thankful that we are allowed to vote at all, even though our vote doesn't amount to anything. It seems so kind of for bearing like that the republicans don't rob us of even this poor privilege under the forms of law
 The Westport case is only the same old story of republican insolence and greed

IMMIGRATION IN ENGLAND.

That England should have an immi- grafton problem to wrestle with appears singular to the people of this country who have been accustomed to look upon England as feeder to our emigrant throngs. It seems. however. that such is the case. The London Telegraph, re- ferrlng to the proposition brought before congress to place a restriction upon i'm migration to this country, says '.In- stead of dumping our paupers down in America, as we are accused of doing, we are, like old Rome, a refuge for the out casts of all lands. Germany sends us, not only her cheap goods, but her poor est citizens. Russia drives towards us her outcast Jews. Our east end is crowded with pauper Poles. The sweat ing system is fed by foreign supplies " It seems to be the opinion of the Tel egraph that, if restrictive measures are adopted by the United States, it is by no means improbable that they will be copied in England, particularly as the continental nations of Europe have taken the lead in the application of such restraints.
 British sentiment is phlegmatic and difficult to arouse, but once aroused it acts effectually, and there is feeling abroad already in England that the coun- try may have pushed hospitality to for eigners altogether too far for her own good. It might not be amiss, however, for England as she copes with the problem of shutting out undesirable for eigners to make an act of contrition for the criminals and paupers she has dumped into Castle Garden to live at the expense of the citizens of the United States. We have had some most ex- cellent immigration from England, but we have also had some of the worst spe- cimens of humanity that ever lived out side of Newgate.
