THE GERMAN UPHEAvAL.
A Reaction Against the Tyranny OF
Bismarck.

Major Kaufman, editor OF the An
ziegcr in Cleveland, Ohio, and life
long student Of German politics, talk
ing about the recent election in Ger
many says the great victory of the
socialists was due to Bismarck's anti
socIalistic law. The law was first made
in 1874 and in 1876 expired by limita-
ton and has been renewed every two
years since at the request of the gov
eminent. The natural consequences
OF such law followed its enforcement.
Men expelled from their homes went
from place to place agitating, and so
the expulsion clause helped to spread
socialistic ideas. In Germany the lot
OF common man is to pay taxes.
serve as soldier and to keep his
mouth shut. The socialists want to
do away with the army and claim that
if they get in power there will be no
more wars. 1t is easy to show how
such arguments will work upon the
classes who furnish the men for war
and who always live urder threatening
rumors OF war. The workingmen are
also told that when the socialists are
in power they will not have to work
so hard nor so long. These arguments
have won thousands oil votes. The
result Of the election will be that in
stead of eleven members of the reich
stag the socialists will have thirty-fve
and be entitled to representation on
all committees. The antl-socialist law
will fall. They will have liberty in
organizing openly and a chance will be
given them to develop the programme
Of thefuture. Bismarck or the emperor
will try to get majority by making
concessions to the Catholics. but the
government is really in a predicament.
The emperor can dissolve the reich
stag il he desires, but he must figure
on a new election, and think the re-
suit will be that Germany will drift
more and more into parliamentary
government and the rights of the crown
will be lessened There is no danger
that the socialistic party will become
the ruling one, but the result Of the
election means that Germany will be
more literally governed and the work
ing classes will probably be benefited.
The socialists are not anarchists. They
are as bitterly opposed to anarchy as
the other people.

ish) for the arrest of c. H. Nowak, Of
Mount Pleasant, Pa, vice censor of the
Polish National Alliance, on charge
of appropriatiug to his own use $500 of
the funds of the congregation. The
offense constitutes grand larceny in the
first degree. Some time ago tho mon
ey in question was subscribed by the
congregation for the purpose OF send
ing two delegates to Rome to ask the
pope TO interfere in the difficulty pend
ing between the parishioners and Bish-
op Ryan, with regard to the removal
of their priest, Father Klawitter. Mr..
Nowak and Father Cichochi, OF Pitts.
burg, were the delegates selected.
Ministerial duties prevented the priest
from undertaking the journey and the
duty was left to Mr.. Nowak. No word
of any kind was received from Rome
and suspician was aroused that Mr..
Nowak had not started. A messenger
was sent to his home in Mount Pleas
ant where Mr.. Nowak was found. He
claims that the money was lost on ac-
count of Il transaction between him and
Father Klawitter. The parish then
decided to prosecute him. A meeting
of the parishioners was held and it
was decided to send another delegate
TO Rome

Grumbling.

Men OF melancholy disposition are
apt to grumble. They cannot help 1t.
even II they tried; not that they ever
do try-quite the reverse-but they
could not help gruwbling il they tri ed
ever so much.
A pessimist is born grumbling.
He grumbles at the light, because 1t
dazzles his eyes; he grumbles at the
darkness, because it ttkes away the
light.
He grumbles when he is hungry, be-
cause he wants to eat; he grumoles
when he is full, bee :use he can eat no
more.
He grumbles at the winter, because
II is cold; he grumbles at the summer.
because it is hot; and he grumbles a,
spring and autumn, because they are
neither hot nor cold,
He grumbles at the past, because it
is gone: he grumbles at the future. be-
eau Sc 1t is not come; and he grumoles
ut the present, because 1T Is neither
tho past nor the future.

A TERRIBLE CRIME.
A Canadian Murders His Wife, Moth
er-in-law and Two Children.

A most atrocious crime was commit
ted in the village OF st. Adams, Cana
da, FEB. Esd, when Rudolph Dubois
murdered his wife, mother-in-law and
two children. Dubois had been on bad
terms with his mother-in-law for some
time and quarrels between them were
frequent. That day after the usual
squabble he went out and when he re-
turned was drunk. He removed the
quarrel, and with an ak struck down
his mother-in-law, literally hacking
her to pieces. He then gave his wife
a terrible cash on the head, then he
went up stairs and decapitated his four
months old baby, and struck on the
head his son Joseph. Throwing the
AK down he escaped TO the woods.
When the crime was discovered the
wife was still alive, but she died after
telling the frightful story. The whole
village turned out to hunt for the muir
derer, but he had couple OF hours
the start OF his.pursuers, and at last
accounts had not been captured.

A courier from the lower dam on
the Hassayampa, in Arizona, reports
a tremendous mountain of water came
down the Hassayampa about o'clock
Saturday morning, Feb. 22nd, and
thirty -four men lost their lives at the
lower dam where they we're ut work.
They were all whites, except three
Chinese. The courier reports the town
OF Wickcnberg all right. The loss of
life in the valley between Wickenberg
and the dam may not be known for
some days but it Is without doubt con-
siderable and the number may possibly
reach thirty or forty. The courier
states the upper dam had undoubtedly
broken and carried the other two dams
below down with it. The loss Of
property in dams alone will amount 10
about 100000,
