More Bodies Removed at Johnstown.

JoHSsrowS, Pa, Oct 9.-Five: dead bodies
were taken out of Stony creek yesterday by

There seems to be mo doubt that there we're q

Illinois Colored Conference.


SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Oct s-The state confer
ence of colored men adjourned last evening
after issuing an address to the colored peo-
pie Of the state and Eation, which sets
forth the object of the organization of the
state just effected to be to advance educa-
tional interests, the abolishment Of separate
schools, and to secure the employment
Of competent colored teachers. After re viewing
the condition of the negroes in the south, the
outrages TO which they are subjected, and the
tact that 1t is not party, or state question
but one Of national importance, the league
makes the following appeal: 1--WE appeal
to the American people, to Com
gress and the executive head Of
our government to men of all parties.
to rise above partisan hate and bitter preiudice
and bring to bear the majesty Of the law, TO
the end that the life and property of the Ameri-
can negro may be as safe in Louisiana, Missis-
sippi. South Carolina, Georgia and Texas a. in
the northern states.
The address also calls attention TO the fact
of the opening of the new states in the north
west aud advises the colored people of the
south to secure homes there as one stan
toward overcoming the southern question.

Too Much Government.

The beauties of the socialistic idea of
having the railroads conducted by the
Government are being exQulsitely ex-
hlbiled In Germany just now. a wear
ago as an experiment the Russian Min
lister of Railroads, put OF few fast
trains between the principal cities.
They were greatly appreciated and the
public cried for more. But in Germany
the public proposes and Prince Bis
msrek or one OF his puppets disposes.
In this case the Minister of Railroads
smiled sweetly and took off even the
experimental fast trains. Tie Iast state
of the travelling public in Germany is
therefore worse than the first. They
have 10 express trains and CRY as much
IS they please they are not likely to get
them.
The only reason alleged to support
this arbitrary policy o. the Government
or Germany is that the rails used on
the railroads there are not heavy
enough to stand the strain of express
trains. This Is a good reason. But
Eere the remedy would be plain and
speedy OF advancement. Private enter
prise would come to the public's relief
with railroad properly equipped. II
the existing railroads refused TO accede
TO general popular demand other rail-
roads would be built whose managers
would be more complaisant. The fact
IS no great railroad corporation in this
country can afford to contemptuously
decline to notice any just and reasonable
request its patrons may make. But
with the Government in control of the
railroads who can say that arbitrary
and undemocratic methods might not
come into use. The check of compe.
tition free and full upon all would
be mopopolists and tyrants is wonders
fully powerful.-PittSblrQ Dispatch.

THERE is little that is surprising in
the report from Washington, says the

disposal of the extra session question
has made room for the question of a
change in Commissioner of Pensions /:
and there certainly is in the report that
Corporal Tanner is TO be reIegated to
the ranks, very little to surprise the
public Secretary Noble, il is well
known, has for some time been fixed in
his mind that the Corporal should re-
tire and without deciding, one way OF
another, other questions the President,
il is understood, has settled in his own
mind that the welfare of the Admins
tration requires a change. That there is
such thing as too much of a good
tring appears 10 have received confr-
nation in the course of the Corporal.
So the President will think it wise 10
have less of the good thiEg in the Pen
sion Bureau and put the surplus some
where else.

Harrison's Administration Under Cover.

In determining not TO call an extra
session OF Congress the President has.
as is usual with him, been governed en-
tiIely by considerations ot party expe-
diency. Indeed, it is openly declared
that the effect of call to Congress
upon the prospects of Malone in Vir-
ginia was the controlling reason for the
conclusion OF the President and Cabinet
that an extra session might be embar,
RAISING TO the Republican party"
Matters of general public concern,
such as the financial question, relief TO
business interests, the change OF the
House rules and early settlement of
election contests, would have turned
the scale the other way. But Harri-
sons soliciiude lest something might
occur TO injure his dear Malone or his
beloved Foraker bore down ali oppos-
ing reasons and reversed the former
conclusion in favor of an extra session.
The decision is a confession OF weak
ness. Why should the President fear
the criticism of a Republican Congress ?
Why should not MAhone and Foraker
be helped by debates at Washington
before election Because the evidence
Is against the Administration. Because
the Republicao party is distracted by
discussions, weakened by scandals. and
made ridiculous by the unseemly doipes
OF Its representatives in high Office.
These are the reasons why the majority
Is afraid Of the minority and why the
hepuollcan party tries to remain under
cover, In order that so far as is possible
votes at the November elections may
be cast in the dark.-N Y. Star

A DeplOrable POLICY.

The most deplorsble result of the re-
turn OF the Republican party 10 the con,
troll OF the National Administration bas
been to stir up violent and bloody race
connicts IN the southern States. This
state OF things is all .he more to he
regretted and condemned because il has
transformed a condition of perfect
peace and social order which reioned
throughout the Southern country into a
state of violence and tumuIt In many
parts, and has filed with uneasipess
and anxious expectation of evil the
people or other portions where. as vet
no open outbreaks have occurred. No
sooner was the election OF President
harrison declared than the emjssaries
OF Inscriptions, self-seekinp political
lntrlguers and fanatical disturbers of
social order set TO work to excite the
negroes TO a state of hostility to their
white neighbors- We do not behave
that President Harrison desires tn re-
vive the crimes and misfortupes under
which the Southern States once so
severely suffered a. the hands of the
teroclous sectionalism that has AMI
mated the Republican party from its
inception, but we cannot but see that
his policy Is tending that way, and we
shall not fail to hold him responsible
for all the evils il may bring forth
