Dull Tlmes Threatened.

1t is reported that there is more
money on deposit in Eastern banks
than has been for a good many
years, and we are told that in the
banks of this city there are on de-
post nearly, if not quite, million
of dollars There is but one reason
for this condition, and that is the
indisposition of capital to seek in
vestment. There is lack of conf
dence in relation to entering upon
new enterprises, which is somewhat
attributable to the uncertainty in
volving the policy of the present
Administration.
1t is quite certain that the good
and prosperous times promised by
the Republicans to the people, have
not only not put in an appearance,
but the indications point most deci-
dedly to contrary state of things.
According to the Republican theory
this should not be the case. The
high tariff, which is supposed to
protect American manufacturers and
workingmen, has not only been pre-
served to bless and reward all sorts
and conditions of people, but with a
Republican President and Congress,
all possible fear of meddling with the
efficacy of the panacea, has ceased
to exist for at least four years.
Decidedly, then, it is not any
"free trade" fright that scares the
capitalists,into locking his treasures
in the vaults, and produces the fe-
verish state that is experienced
among the finances, and that is
throwing into idleness so many
workmen all over the land.
The complaint is now common
with the manufacturers that the
home market is glutted, and many
of them arc realizing thatby reason
of the tariff on the materials which
form the basis of their manufac-
lures, they are shut out from foreign
markets, which would ease the glut
at home.
Iron, for instance, has hardly any
sale. The manufacture of it in GER
tain districts has ceased. This not
only throws out the iron workers,
but it stops the coke makers, and
that stops the mines, and so it gees
down through many departments of
industry.
Strikes and labor troubles are
numerous and continuing. Every
day brings fresh ones, and the sig
nificant feature of the main ones is,
that the strike is against reduction
in wages-and not for the higher
prices for work.
Taking all the signs of the times
into consideration, the outlook is
not pleasing, and the people have
some cause to fear that huge mis-
take was committed when the Re
publican President was elected

IF the British government goes to
work now on some big Notifications
at the mouth of Puget Sound, Con-
gress can no longer afford to post
pOne the matter of adequate coast
defenses. England's command of
the mouth of the sound would leave
our shipping on our northwest coast
practically helpless. In case of war
between the two countries our YES
sells could get into friendly waters
only by successfully running the
gauntlet of the enemy's guns from
the shore, while the sound cities
could be laid waste and the whole
country back to the Cascade noun
tains put under contribution by a
British feet in very short order. If
our northwestern possessions are
worth developing in the first place,
they are worth taking care of now
that civilization has got a foothold
there.

Renublican Promises.

The people were promised last
fall that if they voted for Harrison
and high tariff that an era of pros
perity would follow, in which work
and money would be plentiful. Let
every man answer from his own ex-
perience whether that promise has
been redeemed.
High wages is a most excellent
campaign cry. Our Republican
friends used it with great effect last
III, and will doubtless try to make
of it again at the next election,
ting that broken party promi-
will be lost sight of in the short
,emories of the people. 1t is the
luty of intelligent voters, in the in
Ierest of themselves and their coun-
try, to see that these promises are
not forgotten. The Republican
party should be held strictly to the
performance of the contract made
with the people to give the laboring
classes more work and better pay.
That party is in absolute control of
the government and can pass such
laws as they see fit, and if they tail
there must be something radically
wrong in their system.
That there is something wrong is
patent to the most casual observer.
The population of the United States
is rapidly increasing by natural
causes and immigration Under
well ordered sxsten, the 1.nr.re,,es-
in circulation should be in proper
ton to the population. Here the
ease is otherwise. In proportion
as the population increases the
volume of currency decreases by
useless accommodations in the nation
al treasury. The volume of cur
rency is daily becoming moro and
more contracted in proportion to
the population using it. All this is
the result of collecting more taxes
from the people than the needs of
the government requires, and
boarding the surplus up in the
treasury vaults.

Senator Washburn, of Minnesota,
is credited with views upon the use
of money and spoils in politics which
will gravely compromise hisstanding
as a Republican. He is represented
as saying that our institutions are
being undermined by the corrupt
use of money, that the last Mime
sofa legislature was the worst ever
known in the State, that from all
accounts New York has had SINH
lar experience, and that "there
must be a stop to .his business soon

Human Mind Overwhelmed by

Thousand Lives Given uD 10

SANG HoLLow, Pa, juno 2, 1 A.
M.-The first accounts sent out OF
the Johnstown disaster are far be
low the widest estimates, placed
upon the extent of the calamity, and
instead of 1000 or 5000, it is proba-
BILE the death list will reach 5000,
and many say 10000. 1t is now
known that two passenger trains,
two sections of the day express on
the Pennsylvania railroad have been
thrown into the maddened torrent.
The passengers were drowned
These trains were held at Johns
town from Friday at II a. M, and
were laying on siding between
Johnstown and Conemaugh stations.
The awful torrent came down the
narrow defile between the noun
tains, a distance of nine miles, and
with fall of 300 hundred feet in
that distance. sweeping away the
villages of South Fork, Mineral
Point, Woodvale and Conemaugh,
leaving but one building standing,
a wooden mill, where, but an hour
before, had stood hundreds, and
dashing on with the roar of a cata-
ract and the speed of the wind, upon
the city at the foot of the hill.
THE SCENE OF THE HORROR.
The plain in which but yesterday
sat Johnstown, sits in the mountains
like a jewel in the queens diadem.
Gautier Steel Works sat in this
plain and the city below it, the rail
road tracks bounding it at the base
of the mountain on the NORTH
Here is where the trains were stand
ing when the tide of water like a
catapult came down upon them with
such resistless force that the heavy
trains, locomotives, PulImans and
all were overturned and swept down
with the torrent and were lodged
against the great stone viaduct,
along with forty-one locomotives
from the Johnstown round house,
the heavy machinery and ponderous
framework of the Gautier mill. the
accumulated debris of more than a
thousand houses, furniture, bridges.
lumber, drift and human beings.
The low arches of the stone via
duct choked up Immediately and
the water backed over the entire
level of the valley, upon which the
city stood to the depth of what from
the water marks indicate about
thirty eight feet. In the great sea

Out of sixty-nine Democrats dis
missed from the messenger service
at Washington last week, seventeen
were hOnOrably discharged Union
soldiers and six had lost limbs in
defense of their country on Southern
battle fields. But they had Demo
cratic principles and dared express
them at the polls, and they had to
go. 1t is the Union soldier who
votes the Republican ticket, only,
who is entitled to consideration as
a hero and patriot in the eyes of
a Republican administration a
quarter of a century after the war
ended.

The Republicans are greatly dis
turbed at the evident purpose of the
Democrats of New York to secure a
majority of the Legislature in the
coming election. For seven wears
in succession the Democrats have
elected their State ticket in New
York, and nothing but the perpetu-
alton of Republican gerrymander
whereby 100000 Democratic voters
are denied representation in the
has prevented the full
control of the State Government to
which the majority is entitled. The
performances of the Republicans in
the last two Legislatures has so
thoroughly Disguised the people,
however, that it is moro than posi-
BILE that the Democrats will be able
to secure a majority in that body at
the next election, despite the prac-
teal disfranchisement of SO large a
number of Democratic voters.

President Campbell, of the Glass
