The Governor affixed his signature

of Melvin G. Garlitz, convicted in the
Circuit Count of Allegheny County
Whose rulings were afterward affirm
ed by the Court of Appeals) for the
murder at Cumberland of his wife,
Leah Eva Garlitz, March 26. Friday,
August 30, five weeks from the com.

ton. From the circumstances of the
killing, it is not expected that Execu-
tion clemency will interfere with the
hanging.
On Tuesday Garlitz was apprised of
the fact that the date for his hanging
had been fixed by Governor Jackson.
He was cool and collected and took
the news unconcernedly, without a
twitch of the muscles or any sign
whatever of inward emotion. He
has exhibited the same cold demean-

wife, March 26, excepting when SEN

Ger will be used in this case.

The FORUM FOR AUGUsT.-With
the August number THE Forum COM
pletes its seventh volume. The leading
article in this number is by Mr.. John
G. Carlisle, Speaker of the House Of
Representatives. on "The Republican
Program" Another political article
is by Ex-Governor Hoadly, of Ohio,
on Methods of Ballot Beform."
Many forcible incidents are quoted to
show the need of such publicity. The
most serious warning that has recent
ly been made against the influence of
unassimilated foreigners on our social
and political life, is given by Bishop
A. Cleveland Coke, of Northern New
York, who doubts the perpetuity of
our institutions if present tendencies
continue. Another article of warn
ing is "The Transformation of New
England" by Mr.. A. L. Bartlett, Su-
perintendent of Schools at Haverhill,
Mass. In an article on Prohibition
and License" Senator ingalls,, of
Kansas, concludes that license of the
liquor traffic has in the main been Il
failure and he shows that prohibition
does prohibit in Kansas. "The De-
fects of. the Coroner System" are
pointed out by DIR. S. w. Abbott, of
Boston, who explains the operation of
the Massachusetts law, whereby med
ical examiners have been substituted
for coroners and coroner's juries with
good effect. Mr.. Edward Atkinson
sums up his economic theories by a
demonstration that every man. under
existing conditions, can earn all that
his character and industry fairly en-
title them to have. Judge James
M. Love, of Iowa, makes compare
tive study of the Governments of the
United States and Canada, to the
great advantage of the former. Mr..
Walter Levin, in review of the
main purposes to which fiction has
been put, reviews American novels in
friendly spirit and predicts the de-
cline of the novel written for relig.
ious or psychological or sensation

AN INDIAN BURIAL PLACE.
About ten days ago l again visited
the Indian graves near Romney, w
Va, 1t seem that ashes played ar
important part in the ceremony, as ]
found from half peck to five bushels
of ashes in each grave. The method
of burial, so far as can judge from
careful examination, was as follows
They dug or scooped out a hole from
to feet deep by 2 feet wide and
feet long in the hard stiff clay, which
underlies covering of feet of soft
sandy loan. These holes are filled
with ashes and cinders, among which
were parts of deer skulls and horns
and bones of other animals, though
they showed no signs of being burned
or charred. On top of these ashes the
body is placed and then covered with
the sandy loan.
At the bottom of one of these graves
we found a pot made of clay, about
% inches in diameter by 8 inches
deep, the sides of which were of elab-
crate ornamentatiOn, the principal
being a carved face about every
inches aronnd the top. In the pot
was the upper shell of turtle, jaw
bone of a squirrel and several clam
shells-eyidences of food placed in
the grave for use in the journey to
the happy hunting grounds"
The pottery consisted of three kinds
yellow, brown and black. The first
was for common use. with but little
Ornamentation the second was orna-
mented to some extent, but the last
was the Royal Worchester of Indian
art production, and was without
doubt, placed in the graves of those
only who were greatly distinguished.
Among the articles found was a
knife made of copper roughly beaten
out. The blade was five inches
long by one and a-quarter inches
broad, and its dull sandstone-sharpen-
ed edge must have required strong
muscular exertion on the part of the
operator to remove the scalp of his
dead enemy.
The graves are scattered over a
space of about 10 acres, and are on
what is called the Island farm, which
consists of about 80 acres. The owner
thinks that the entire island was q
burrying ground. Il. G.. HOMILLER.

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?

While the democrats are exulting
over their election victories last week
the republicans are trying to explain
the result 1t would be difficult to
find a general reason for it, as local
issues helped the democrats in some
of the states, particularly in Iowa and
Ohio. 1t is a cause for universal re-
joicing that Malone is buried in Vir-
ginia. Gov. Foraker's third term
ambitions were nipped in Ohio where
the legislature will elect a democrat
ic senator to succeed Standard Oil
Payne. The result in Massachusetts,
particularly in Boston, where there
was a democratic loss of over 5000,
proves just what was claimed in this
paper when Mr. Bracket was nomi-
mated, that he represented the saloon
element in politics. He narrowly es-
capped defeat, and the Old Bay State
has taken a backward step. This
step will be better appreciated when
it is remembered that Lieut. Gov.
Brackets plurality in 1888 was
about 1000, while his plurality as
governor in 1889 is less than 5000.
A consensus of press comment of all
political shades, given on the second
page, will be read with interest.

NOTE AND CONTENT.

Thirteen democratic postmasters
were fired" Tuesday. Turn the
rascals out
The prospectus of Harper's Weekly
appears elsewhere in this paper. 1t
is a paper of very marked editorial
and literary ability, standing at the
head of its class.
Mr. Nordgren, the Nebraskan, who
is so interested in Commissioner Val
entine's plans for colonizing our
state, sails for Sweden next month
to select a colony of his countrymen
for some of the farms in Vershire
For 80 successive years the repub-
lican state of Ohio has kept one dem
ocratic senator in Congress. This is
something unprecedented in political
history. The curious feature of it is
that the democrats have always
managed to elect the Legislature just
when this senator was to be chosen,
and to lose it Immediately after.
The New York Sun wickedly re-
marks that on the day after election
Secretary Proctor and Senator Nor
rill were among the ''mourners" who
called at the White House as repre-
sentatives of state that had not
gone wrong Commenting on this
the Burlington Free Press says that
vermont never goes wrong, that is,
seldom
ST. Louis is bidding sharply for the
worlds fair in 1892, and makes
some strong points in favor of this
great inland city for such an exposi-
ton. AS has been heretofore sug-
gested in these columns, Washington
seems the most appropriate place in
all this land for "world's'' fair, and
Congress the body to father the en-
terprise.
There seems to be mania these
days to spend money-that belongs
to somebody else. The government
is badly infected with this disease as
we'll as individuals. Just now there
is cry for war ships and coast de-
lenses The Detroit Free Press puts
the whole thing in a nutshell when it
says: at will cost 100000, 900 to
put our seacoast in a state of defence
against a foreign foe, while it won't
cost us 10 cents to mind our own
business and keep out of row with
the rest of the world"
Prof. r. H. Mather, who has filled
a chair in Greek and art in Amherst
college so well for many years, is per-
manently disabled by an internal dis
ease of cancerous nature perhaps,
though some think it tumor in the
intestineS. He underwent a very un-
usual and dangerous surgical opera
ton, and at last reports seemed to
be doing we'll, but the remainder of
his life must be that of inconvenience
and much suffering. A few years
ago Prof E. P. Crowell, professor in
Latin, became totally blind, but the
plucky man does not let this inter
fere with his college work but contin-
ues to hear his recita tons as he has
done so well for so many wears.

INDEPENDENTS

These independents, who are
usually the greatest slaves known in
politics because they imagine they
are carrying the interests of the
whole country on their shoulders
organization. Occasionally one
drops into the democratic party
where he belongs, and slight ripple
is all that denotes his departure into
oblivion Burlington Clipper.
This is specious pettifogging
When such scholars and mugwumps
as Seth Low of Brooklyn and Henry
Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts
dropped into" the republican party
they were hailed as patriots of the
first water When the equally able
scholar and mugwump, President
Eliot of Harvard college, drops into
the democratic party" there is moth
ing but ridicule for his action on the
part of such partisan sheets as the
Clipper. 1t is the privilege of the in
dependent voter to act with either
political organization or neither
and because Theodore Roosevelt and
Mr. Lodge are now acting with the
republican party there is no occasion
to slur or belittle them; it may be
they will again cast off the party tie
when they find it puts party above
patriotism President Eliot's atti-
tude should have the same conside-
ration.

Postmaster General Wanamaker
created quite a little furry when
some months ago he fixed the rates
of telegraphing for the government
at one mill a word instead of one
cent, the old price Had he stuck to
that figure he would have saved the
government over 100000 a year
But Mr. Wanamaker has backed
water, and although there is a slight
reduction over old prices the govern
ment still has to pay twice as much
as the special rates to newspapers.
The public are not treasured III re-
gard to the deadly electric wire by
an article from Mr.. Edison in the
North American Review in which he
declares that electric wires operating
the alternate current will be even
more dangerous in subways than on
poles If these things are so, and
Mr. Edison is perhaps as good
authority as there is on this subject,
people will as a rule cling to kerosene
and gas awhile longer, for the danger
from electric wires overhead is daily
demonstrated
