velOped bad case of the foot-and-
mouth disease which proved fatal to
the Corporal-that is, he opened his
mouth and put his foot in il, and is out

is a professional veteran who will pur-
sue Tanners policy OF busting the sur

who have the old fashioned notion that
a pension list is a roll or honor made
up of disabled, needy and deserving
veterans, and who have scIupulous

Such men are, Unfortunately, not
scarce, but an additional qualification
is necessary. The Pension Commis-
sioner must, it appears, be acceptable

has practically adopted an amendment
to the con stitution requiring the "ad-
vice and consent" OF this organization

On Thursday evening OF last week
ABOUT half past seven O'Clock = terIible
aud slide occurred immediately below
Duffe. in terrace in Quebec, Canada. by
which seven houses were crushed out Of
shape and from twenty TO forty people
killed and wounded.
TdOse who witnessed the fall of the
rock say that they heard Iong, loud
noise, as os several csnnons, and, on
looking NJ toward the terrace and cita-
del, weIs Mortified by the sight or an
immense mass Of stones, rock aud
earth breaking loose md rushing down
the 3U0 feet Of dec;ivty upon the
doomed houses below.
Immediately he air was filed with
dust, so that no one could see ten feet
IN front Of nim. ana breathing was
made difficult. This was followed BY
he sOdnds OF timbers crushing anc
yielding 10 the immense power d the
avalanche, and the shouting aud
screaming Of men, women aid chiljren,
IN all the agony of despair.
1ne avalanche was caused By the hot
weather OF the past few weeks cracking
the earth and rock, which were loosen
ed and driven down by the heavy rain
OF the last few days.
The mer Of the water police, whose
station is near the scene OF the accident
set TO work az once TO rescue the i'm
prisoned persons, which called out the
ire brigade and police, for with lamps
and stoves breaking, the houses soon
caught Ore.
The ham5s were, however, soon ex-
tinguished, and the men from the bat
terry began The work of extricating the

Silence and Tanner.

Why "hush up" as is proposed, the
Tanner scandal +? Why suppress a sim
gle detail of this nefsrious laid on the
public Treasury ? Why should any one
act of theft or the name of sly partici-
pant therein not to be exposed to public
objurgatIons i? Tanner never sought
silence when in power. his was the
loudest yell OF all. His strongest weapon
was his jaw no adversary escaped his
bray. In defeat ne is for the nonce
silent but it is only the silence of a
man who has been stunned. Anon he
will break out again. So with Tanners
friends-they are IN retreat, but they
retire yelping. 1t is the Administra-
tion that demands hush. Harrison,
who has already lost much by the pen
sion scandal, breads the effect of fuller
disclosures. With them will come
further enlargement OF his insimates
and even greater disgust among the
luke warm. And yet an Administration
that shuns investigation-thst has any
thing TO hush up--is an Administration
which the people will never trust

Fame and a Fortune for an Idea.

Who is the American, born Yankee
or naturaliZed, that will evolve from
his inner consciousness the idea of the
thing which shall be the greatest and
characteristic feature OF the New York
Exposition. as Monsieur Eiffel's tower,
for example, is the feature of the Paris
show.
The Eiffel tower may be ugly, but it
is great-great in its appeal TO the
Imagination. There is no doubt that it
has done more than any ten other things
TO make the Paris Exposition a wonder
full success There never was ANYTHING
like il before. 1t distinguishes the
present exhibition from all the worlds
fairs OF the past. 1t is the mark by
which this exhibition will be remember
ed in history. 1t is not only a colossal
elevator shaft which, for a dollar, takes
you up, up, till your head swims, but it
is the type and representative of the
spirit of the age of net WORK iron and
electricity.
The idea which is to do for the COL
umbus Exposition OF 1892 what the
Eiffel tower has done for the Paris fair
of 1889 is yeG to be produced by Amer
ican genius. 1t is not enough to adopt
the Eiffel tower and add fifty per cent.
of height. Nor will any suggestion be
valuable which owes its novelty merely
to its complex or bizarre character.
The undiscovered thing must have the
greatness of simplicity and originality.
What shall it be Here is an oppor-
tunity which extends to the imagina--
tion OF true creative genius a reward
such as has rarely been offered in the
history of the world. The competi-
tIon is open to all. The man who
answers the question satisfactorily will,
win fame and fortune at a stroke.-N.

WITH Malone having little else than
the solid negro vote of Virginia to rely
on, says the Pittsburg Post, and there
being some &c, 900 more white voters in
the State than colored, the result OF the
election would seem to be a foregone
conclusion. The difficulty is to get the
white voters in the sparsely settled
mountain districts to the polls. Hither-
To there has been a pretty strohg white
element in the Republican party of Vir-
ginis, but they have been falling away
from Malone at a tremendous rate, and
it is said President Harrison Is now
convinced he made a mistake in espous-
ing Mahone's cause. The last promi-
nent Republican to bolt Malone is

district judge appointed 5y President
Grant in 1874 Judge Hughes apnoun-
ces his purpose to support the Demo-
cratic State Ticket. Ex-senator RidS
dlebeTger has taken the stump n oppo-
sition TO Malone. The revolt among
Republicans of prominence is steadily
growing. Four of the five judges OF
the court OF appeals, all Republicans,
are opposed to Malone. The Staunton
VwgiHian and the London Telephone,
the two leading Republican papers Of
the State, are opposing Mahone's elec-
tion with great vigor.

DURING the late session Of the Legis>
lature, says the Harrisburg Patriot,
Hon. ). NJ. WherrY, representative from
Cumberland county, made the charge
that the Commissioner of the sinking
Fund had sold over a million dollars
worth of United States bonds belonging
to the State which trought $50, 900 in
terest TO the State Treasury every year
and that the proceeds OF this sale of the
United States bonds were deposited in
certain banks without interest This
charge was couched in the pIainest and
most specific language. and Mr.. Wherry
moved that the House appoint a special
committee TO inquire into the manage
ment of the Sinking Fund and the
| Treasury under which this achieye>
ment in fnanciering was accomplished.
But the Republican House, with Speak
er Boyer, (now the Republican candi-
date for State Treasurer) at its he'd,
deliberately refused to make the iuqui-
~.
The only explanation of this remark
able financial transaction which has
been vouchsafed by the Commissioners
OF the Sinking Fund is that the United
States bonds were sold with a view of
employing the proceeds of the sale in
the purchase of State bonds, but that
when the Commissioners appeared in
the market for the purpose of buying
State bonds the holders OF the latter in
sisted upon a premium which the Com
missioners regarded as eXorbitant.
This is simply a confession OF incapaci-
ty, not to ssy stupidity, on the par: Of
the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund.
They knew that no State bonds were
overdue at the time they sold the Uni
ted States bonds. They knew that as
they could not compel the presentation
of underdue State bonds tor redemption
they would be st the mercy of the hold
ers OF the State bonds. They knew,
too, that the State could gain nothing.
but must lose, by the sale OF UnIttd
States bonds even if the State bonds
could be bought at a reasonable premi-
um. This explanation, therefore, fails

THIS is the season says the Pitts6ltrq
Tunes, for going to the Mountains
any time the next six weeks. There is
not In this or any other country any
thing that is comparable to what one
can behold OF nature in its Fall garb in
the Alleghenies. Even now the forest
trees are changing their colors little by
little, and the change repays one who
studies 1t. Soon the change will deep,
en-. and it will not be long before the
slopes will be dressed In colors that no
artist can reproduce. a side over the
mountains then will repay anyone who
has an eye for natures glories not a
day, not week, nor even a month will
suffice for unequaled study. Our people
travel abroad for studies of nature, but
nowhere abroad will they see glories
that surpass those OF the Alleghenies.
How many ara there who have lived all
their days within few hours ride of
the Alleghenies, and yet are either
ignorant OF their scenery, especially
when the frosty nights begin to succeed
one another. or have no eye for natures
beauties. He must be wanting in a
great deal that makes him compan.
ionable sort OF person who Is thus def
cient In appreciation of the aIories OF
nature. Go to the mountains when
they begin to blaze in their Fall colors.

A Strike Without Parallel.

In making his charge to tho Grand
Jury in London the other day. the Re-
corder pointed out. with pardonsble
pride, that altOugh a hundred thousand
men had been on strike for nearly a
month. not single charge of violence
had been brought before the court. He
thought that the fact was probably un
precedented in the history of the world.
This statement is all the more re-
markable when we remember that a
great many non-upion men were put to
work in place of the strikers, aud the
character and the low grade of educa-
tion OF the latter, many of whom could
neither read or write. Their forbear-
ance and orderliness were not, there
fore, due to any superior intelligence
on their part. Probably their only
chance of success was in their retaining
the sympathy of the public and such
men as Cardinal Manning and the Lord
Mayor of London, and that would have
been forfeited by acts of Iawlessness.
But while the leaders were able to
realize this, the men themselves certain
ly did not do so. They obeyed orders
implicitly, however, and their dicipline,
with the respect for the law so COM
mon among all classes of English, did
the work.
The most intelligent order of work
ingmen in the world is probably the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
and Chief Arthur is one o! the ablest
leaders at the head of such al organiZa-
tion. But ne never handled the skilled
engineers under him in any protracted
strike as we'll as John Burns did the
ignorant dock laborers of London. We
do not believe the Brotherhood has ever
gone through long strike WithOut a
single case OF violence being reported.
But Burns skill is likely to be tested
still more thoroughly. He is going to
Australia, it is said. and he will proba-
bly, take charge OF a strike there. If
he succeeds as well as he did in Lou
don, he will have shown himself the
greatest of all labor leaders. but it is
not likely he can repeat his success
