THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

NEW YORK Telegram (Dem.): The Repub.
lican party in Pennsylvania seems to be getting
weak in the middle.
WASHINGTON Post Rep.): The Pennsyl.
vania Democrats are very much. annoyed by
the statement that Hon, William L. Scott has
plugged up the bunghole of his barrel and is
now roosting on the spigot.
ALTOONA Times Dem.): The corporations
of Pennsylvania are benefit to the people of
the State as long as they are kept within their
bounds. We do not relish the outcry that is
almost continually raised against corporations
for no other cause but that they are corpora
tions.
CLEVELAND Plain Dealer (Dem.): The
Democratic organization throughout the State
of Pennsylvania is pronounced the best the
party has ever had, the Democrats are harmo-
nious and confident, and disaffection in the
Republican ranks isconstantly spreading. The
prospects for a Democratic victory grow more
and more encouraging as the election ap-
proaches.
NEW YORK Post (Dem.): The campaign in
Pennsylvania is going on quietly, but there is
evidence that it is making good progress. Re-
publican party journals which few weeks ago
we're asking, Where is that Independent Re-
publican movement" are now hard at work,
not to disprove its existence. but to prove the
invincbillty of that 900 majority" of 1883.
ST. PAUL Pioneer Press (Rep.): Richard
Vaux, elected to Congress to succeed Samuel
]. Randall in the Third Pennsylvania district,
went into office with whoop and hurrah on
the plea of his superior honesty. He seems to
have been too honest to suit modern Demo
cratic ideas, and he must step aside for q more
plant hustler versed in practical politics.

AFIAT "REVOLUTIOy,"

That alleged revolution" in the Swiss
italian canton OF Ticino, appears to have
been about as serious as a strike in the min
ing regions or an election afray in the
South. The people of Ticino had the bad
Judgment TO indulge in a riot over local
trouble, and when the Swiss Government
sent troops to the place made light of the
trouble by receiving the troops with cheers
and giving them a feast. Perhaps the
European politicians were not sorry to
magnify the reports of disorder IN the Oldest
existing republic; but however monsrchical
desires may be disappointed it is gratifying
to learn that Switzerland is not to be dis
rupted by the disloyalty of some square
miles of mountain and valley. The affair
has rather comic outcome, the most i'm
pressive sensation produced by the final
proceedings being the surprise of travellers
who have visited Switzerland that Swiss
hospitality has reached such a point of
enthusiasm as 10 entertain visitors free of
pharUn

THE PRIVILEGE OF RuFr1AN1sm.

The recent tragic termination of an at
tempt at hazing at Lafayette College, where
freshman whose room had been broken
into by party of hazers, laid about him so
vigorously with baseball club as to inflict
fatal injuries on one of his assailants, gives
a serious aspect to what has heretofore been
looked upon as one of the comic aspects of
Undergraduate rufianism. Of course the
student, who acted in selfdefense, cannot
be charged with responsibility for the
tragedy. Those who pushed their disorderly
proceedings to an act of housebreaking took
the risk. But it may be questioned whether
the college authorities where hazing -four
ishes have not responsibility for their
weak dealing with that species OF hoodlum-
ism. The idea is very plainly encouraged
that students must be dealt with tenderly
and cannot be subjected to the same punish
ment as the OIL binary rufian who commits
similar acts Of assault and battery. Let it
be understood that the student who breaks
into another's room or commits violence
against another's person will be sent to the
workhouse or lie in Jail just as any other
disorderly character will have to, and the
trouble will be brought to a short stop. 1t
is the idea that college students form
privileged class that requires sharp cor
reetlve.

PITTsBURG. MONDAY. SEPT. Is. 1891
THE SENSIBLE COURSE.

The caucus of the House Republicans on
Saturday night showed few signs of resort
ing to the policy of forcing the Senate to
consider the Federal elections bill by hold
ing back the tariff measure. On the con-
trary the indications were decidedly that
the House will proceed promptly to the con-
sideraton OF the Senate amendments and at
an early day ask for conference COM
mittee where the final shape of the tariff
measure will be settled.
This is an evidence that while the House
leaders may be dissatisfied with the abandon
ment OF their programme on the elections
measure, they have the good sense to accept
the situation as the best thing that can be
done. The country is anxious to have the
already unduly protracted wrestle with the
tariff brought to close. Business compli-
cations have already been produced by the
tariff agony, and if the final enactment
were longer delayed that effect might be
aggravated to serious proportions To raise
a contest between the House and Senate
would be likely to result in deadlock, that
would be injurious to all interests and more
especially 10 those who delayed the great
measure OF the session in order to force
their pet scheme down the throats of the
people.
In addition to these considerations it is
quite possible that the close approach of the
Congressional elections has aroused the
members of the House to realizing sense
Of the necessity of winding up the tariff
fight and going home to look after their in
dividuaI concerns.

OUR SHORT STORIES.
FARMERS COME HIGH.

| IT was clean case of negligence ON the part
of the engineer. He should have whistled
| at the crossing and slowed up. He did neither.
Farmer Bofin, driving in to market on load
of hay was half way across the tracks when
the express struck the wagon. For sudden
| ness it beat electrocution all hollow. Farmer
Bofin and the two horses never knew what
struck them, and their remains were collected
with difficulty. &
These facts were laid before Julius Burnett,
ESQ.,, solicitor to the railroad, and he said In
his pleasant way: Farmer Boffin will cost
about 5000 more than he was worth IL the
case goes to court We must settle this with
the widow at once"
So Mr.. Burnett adjusted his clerical white
tie-a bit of dress he was most particular about
in his negotiations with widows-and took the
first train for Moons Rest. 1t was hot ana
dusty walk to the Bofin farm, but when he
clasped Mrs. Bofin's hand and murmured a
few words of apologetic sympathy the attorney
was the cooler of the two. Then he began:
"The Atlantic and Northeastern Railroad
Company have sent me. madam, to offer their
deepest sympathy. No accident that has ever
happened on our line has been so deeply re-
gretted, assure you, madam, and"
"Them horses was wuth plum two hundred
dollars" broke in the widow, rubbing her eyes
take less, he tor Zeph Hanks las Aprile."
"As 1 was saying. madam" continued Mr..
Burnett, "our company is deeply grieved-Mr.
Boffin was a."
AN the wagons kindlin' wood" interrupted
Mr. Boffin's relict.
That's precisely what came to see you
about" said the attorney. changing his course
to catch the wind, ''in an hour like this, when
the heart is bowed down. a little ready money
is often very desirable, and l see you are
woman who believes in doing business in
business-like manner. Now, those horses, Mrs.
Boffin, l feel sure our company would like to
replace them. 1t can be done for $3.50, can't it?
Say, one fifty?"
1.-TWO hundred dollars won't buy them horses
equals" said Mrs. Boffin decidedly.
Then we will pay $500 for the horses" cheer
fully assented the lawyer; 'now, for the wagon
we are prepared to be liberal. Mrs. Bofin; We
know what it is to lose wagon in this heart
rending way-shall we say SIS Tor the wagong'
Mrs. Boffin nodded her head and murmured:
"It's nothin' but kindlin' wood" adding
sharply: You've forgotten the hay and the
harness-they amt no good to me now-an'
that harness wur nearly new"
Certainly, Mrs. Boffiu," the lawyer said, 81
was coming to that-Sl5 ought to cover that
you regard that as satisfactory, Of course
Let's see-S225 and SIS is s240. And now,
madam, as to that excellent husband of yours,
it is my melancholy duty" here he paused, and
Mrs. Boffin took up the parable with: Joshua
was powerful worker-nigh on 20 year he run
this farmland hired mems so wuthless."
Precisely. Mrs. Boffiu; let's say $40 for Mr..
Bofin. and I'll draw you check right now for
$3.50"
And check of that size went into Mrs.
Boffin's bank account that very day.
