amnesty TO Dersertsrs.

On October 10 1873. Presil ent
Grant issued an amneaty order 70 de-
serteTs from the army. Since that time
40, 591 men of the enlisted service have
deserted. and of this number IL is esti-
mated that only $3.50 have returned TO
the service. 1t follows, therefore, that
there are over 81, 600 deserters at laTge,
many of whom are doubtless living con
stantly in fear OF apprehension and the
disgrace that would follow, to say
nothing OF the hsrdships which would
necessarily be entailed upoa their fami-
lies.
Senator Plumb has written to PresI-
dent Harrison suggesting the advisable
ity OF issuing another amnesty procla-
Gstion, and it is said that the Presi>
dent is in sympathy with the sugges-
tioD. If all the deserters from the
army could be apprehended and return
ed 1t would increase the army to an ex-
tent that was never contemplated. But
this Is unlikely. Only a small percen-
sage OF those at large will be apprehend.
ed, so that such an amnesty as that
proposed by Mr.. Plumb would not inS
volve much loss to the Government.
The articles of war under which the
United States army Is governed were
copied from the regulations of the Brit
tish army, and while the latter havs
been modified from time to time, oars
have remained unchanged. In this,
no doubt, may be found an explanation
OF the large number OF deseItions aud
this fact should be taken into consider.

A New Rival Line.

The plan for an independent railroad
across the State 10 connect with the
Let ign Valley Railroad has been re-
vived, and within the past two weeks
efforts have been made to interest
Philadelphia capitalists 10 the scheme.
Since the South Pennsylvania Railroad
fell into the hands of the Vanderbilts
several new projects have been started
and old ones revived. The one that is
considered to have the best financial
backing is the one which contemplstes
a connection with the Lehigh Valley at
Ashland. and il is this one which has
been brought TO the attention of local
finsnciers.
The line of the proposed road Is from
Ashland due west TO pittsburg, passing
through SelinsgrOve and Huntington.
The route is quite direct. and runs
close to the Pennsylvania Railroad for
most Of the distance. 1t is intended
that the Baltimore and Ohio terminals
at Pittsburg shall be used, while the
Lehigh Valley is depended upon TO re-
ceiiye and take care of the traffic deliv-
cred at Ashland.
Engineers say that the route is a
good one, although not as good as the
South Pennsylvania. From Ashland TO

famous, and the work will be exceed
ingly expensive. From Sslinsgrove
west, however. the country is very fair,
except in the Allegheny Mountains sec
tion. No exact estimates OF the cost
have been made, but work will sOt be
begun unless al least $40. .000, 600 - sub
scribed. a portion of this amount has
been secured. and the promoters are
searching for more. The experience OF
the South Pennsylvania syndicate has
not given much encouragement 10 In
vestors, and very few moreyed men
have as yet identified themselves With
the enterprise. The promoters OF IL are
pushing men, and feel confident that
the road will ultimately be Quilt.
IL is not claimed that the L-high
Valley is interested in the scheme, il and
Is declared that all that is expected from
that corporation is a traffic contract to
exchange freight aud passengers. The
distance from New York to PIttsb1rg,
by way Of this route. Is slightly less
than the Pennsylvania. The friends
OF the scheme talk Of large profits that
would be made by the construction Of
tn e road since a large tonnage of am
thracite coal could De placed in Pitts
burg every year, and besides, the new
line would compete with the Pennsyl-
vanis for local business ST many points.

And still Another object Less Oh.

The coal mining industry of Indiana
is csntered in Clay county, and know
ing the vote OF the State would be close
at tie last election, both parties pat
forth their best efforts to get the votes
Of the miners. Judge Thurman made
a speech at Brazil il support OF the
Democratic ticket, but the Republicans
played a different game. As the day of
election drew near, their Republican
proprietors shut down some of the
mines, and especially those where Dem
ocrats were largely employed, discharg
ed the men, aud declared il was done
because of the tariff agitation. To
make matters clear letters were pub
lished from o. B. Potter and other
iron manufacturers in Chicago, who
are also heavily interested in Clay
county mines, stating that the pros
pect of C!evelaud's election and the
passage of the Mills bill had compelled
them to close their works and hence %
suspend their purchases OF coal, and
that the suspension would probably be
indefinite unless Harrison was elected,
the protective tariff saved and public
confidence restored" The correspond
ence was published in the Indianapolis
JOlTHGi-HaTTison's home official organ
-dId OAhCl paDcES, duu
placed IN the hands of every miner In
Indiana and of thousands o. other
workingmen. a delegation OF Clay
county miners was also tTotte1 mp TO
Indianapolis to hear Brother Harrison
make speech telling them bow their
wages. food, clothing and escape from
a pauper's doom depended on the sue
cess OF the Republican party. All this
no doubt had its desired effect in
changing many votes from Cleveland TO
Harrison, and in Clay county the ma
jOrity for the Democratic candidates
was reduced 70 a very narrow margin.
But the election is over, aud the In-
diana miners are in about the same
precious pickle as the miners and the
iron and steel workers OF Pennsylvania.
When the Clay county operators, after
election, got ready TO reopen their
mines they fixed new scale OF wages,
which the men refused TO accept. HaT-
risOu is Fresiden. and the high protec-
tive tariff saved. but the operators
insisted on a cut in wages OF from 20 10
p per cent, the heaviest cot ever made
In the safe. The operators through
out the State made common cause
against the men and insisted on the re-
ductiOn. For two days OF this week the
operators and the miners have been in
conference at Brazil, Clay county, the
men proposing that the differences be-
tween them be submitted to arbitration.
The operators would not consent TO
arbitration and told the men they
could either take the reduced wages or
go without work. They talk differently
now, these gilt-edged operators, from
what they did when they were cajoling
their men TO vote for Harrison by free
ride TO Indianapolis TO hear Harrison
declaim his part OF the play.
The story of the Brazil miners is true
of dozens OF industries in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and West Virginia. The locked
out steelworkers at Duquesne have Iea-
liZed il, and before the summer is over
it is predicted the Amalgamated Asso-
citation and the glasswoTkers and other
classes OF labor will have a similar ex-
perience.-PitSbUr1. Post.

The Mickedest Man.

II we were asked the question to-day,

method for him was to purchase power.
He raised four hundred Thousand dolls

BY way of preparing for the SPECIAL
election to be held June next, there are
some special duties which require con-
siderable work. The Comfy Commits
sioneTs have received the ballots and are
TO distribute them to the several elec
tion districts 10 proportion to the regis
tered vote. three ballots for and three
against the amendment being provided
for every voter. The ballols must in
every case be equal in number for and
against. Two ballots boxes will be
used, and the returns will be COMPUTED
and made to the proper officers exactly
as they are in general elections. The
election boards are TO be furnished with
copies OF the last registry of voters.
Some questions has arisen over the
necessity for the payment OF Doll tax.
IN cases where 1t has been neglected.
1t IS understood that the same qua!ifi-
cations as are required of voters in a
general election will be necessary. II
twenty-five years of age, the man offer.
ing TO vote must have paid within two
| years State or county tax which has
been assessed at least two months and
paid at least one month before election
or IN other words-fThe date of the
/ tax receipt must be between June 1871
! 1887, and May 18Th, 1899, to vote al
the special election June 18th, 1889.
The probability is that CHALLENGING
committees on either side at the polls
VIII look even more closely after ths
/ qualifications of voters than is done aI
general elections.

The Law Against Them.

Not long ago a movement was begun
by :he prohibitionists to organize a
a woman's league or association, the
members of which should attend the
polls on June 18th and work for the
prohibitory amendment.
The discovery has recently been made,
however, that an act passed by the
Legislature IN 1899 stands in the way
OF the movement. 1t says: 'If any
person not qualified TO vote il this COM
mOnweaith agTeeably to law Except the
sons of qualified citiZens), shall appear
at any place of election for the purpose
or of influencing the citizens qualified
to vote. he shall, on conviction thereof,
be fined not less than 800 nor more
than 5000. and be imprisoned for a
term not less than three months or more
than one year.
Thus it will be seen that the woman
who is wise will stay away from the
polls on June 18th, and spend the day
in reading Mrs. Rohrer's cook book or
making a new tidy.

WILLIAM W. HOWARD, who repre-
ssnted H1rper's Weekly in Oklahoma
when that strip was thrown open to
settlement, characterizss the conduct
of the Deputy United States Msrshsls
in pre- empting the choicest lots and
sections as one of the most outrageous
impositions ever prscticed in the set
tlement OF new country. The fact
that no blood was shed when the first
arrivals found the best parts of Guthrie
and Oklahoma City already in posses
sion of the Marshals was altogether
due, he points out, TO the belief of the
homeseekers that the Government
would set the matter right. And the
Government should set it right and
the sooner the better. Moreover, if
Howard's account be true, and there is
no reason to doubt it, the Deputies
should be sternly disciplined.

INTERNAL REVENUE COLLECTOR
WEBSTER, of the Dubuque, Iowa dis
trict on Monday made the statement
that the prohibitory law has increased
the sale of liquor in Iowa. This year
he has issued % more liquor licenses
than last year. The number OF whole
sale dealers is slightly less than before
the prohibitOry law, but the sales are
larger and the quality of liquor sold is
poorer.
Not only have the sales increased, but
since the decision of the United States
Supreme Court, In the case of Bowman
Brothers, the Marshalltown brewers,
impoTtations by express of original
packages Of liquor has been enormous.
Wholesale liquor houses have sprung
up all along the borders of the State and
are supported mainly by Iowa trade.

Death Of Robert Bradley.

Onthe night OF Thursday, Jan. 10, some
time after midnight, the soul of Robert
Bradley winged it's flight from a world
which to him lad been a scene of suffer-
ing for many months. Since bis return
from New York a couple of weeks ago it
was evident to his friends that he was
rapidly sinking, and the end was ap-
proaching rapidly. 1t came at last and
while midnight was merging into morn-
ing the gentle sufferer breathed his last.
Deceased was son of the late Col. Joe
Bradley and was one of numerous
family. He leaves three brothers and
four sisters, and his mother to mourn
the loss they have sustained We learn
the funeral will take place this morning
at 10 O'Clock, from the family residence
on Franklin Street.
