A Good Nomination.

Mr.. Buchanan, the nominee of the
State Democratic convention, is not
generally known over the State and
there are comparatively few farmers
who know anything about him ex.
cept through their organization. He
Is, however, gopd man of pure
character, with clean record, hav-
ing served three terms in the Legis-
lature and in other public capacity,
giving evidence of his faithfulne,s.
he Is sure t. make an honest, con-
scientious governor, if not the brill
liant administration expected at the
hands of others. After all, his nom
ination was about the best thing the
convention could have done. The
farmers went there with their hearts
set on having the nominee and would
have felt the sting of defeat more
bitterly than any other people. AS
It is the sons of toll are made happy.
We expect Mr.. Buchanan to give
the State clean, Democratic admin
istration, trucking to no class, nor
favoring oHe class over another, be-
cause he is the nominee of the Dem.
ocratic party. The proper thing for
every Democrat to do is to rally to
his support with z'al and earnest
ness and poll for him the largest ma
jority ever given any governor in the
State.

a STANDING ARMY OF ONE.
The Mysterious Soldier Who Walks ON
Guard Upon a Roof Top.

The Mysterious Soldier who Walks on
Guard Upon a Roof Top.
Weeks ago platform fifty feet long wa
placed on the roof Of a six story building
on the corner of Sixth avenue and one OF
the cross streets. 1t is a corner where the
elevated railroad drops and takes up many
thousand persons daily, and the cross street
is as greatly crowded as any other thor
Oughfare in the great city.
On the day after the platform was put in
place, at 10 O'Clock in the morning, a sol
der fully armed and uniformed, with mar
tidl tread and p!kelibs rightly, appeared
upon the platform and began to keep
guard over the city. He wore (and still
wears) blue coat, with white trousers,
white gloves and accoutrements and a
white helmet.
Whenever he reaches either end of the
platform he presents arms, then shifts his
piece to the other shoulder and once more
begins his patient march. He has probably
been stared at more curiously and longer
than any other man has been stared at in
this town.
Passersby do not know what to mako of
1t. They stop and stare and gaze around
for some one to help them out, and then
return and gaze again Whether he guards
powder magazine, or whether he is there
to look for ships of war approaching
up the Sound or to prevent an in
vasion of the city by foreign foes creep
ing in over the roof tops, no one can
tell. What he sees and what he thinks
about as he PAGES up and down, and up and
down the platform, and goes through his
little act at each turn, may not be known.
He never stops to look down at the crowd
gaping up at him from below, and he never
falters in his walk, even though the smoke
and cinders puff up in his face and choke
him.
He goes on duty at 10 O'Clock. takes an
hour off at II and leaves at 5. In these six
hours he walks the platform over LAO
times and shifts mis- gun 720 times. No one
relieves him. No corporaps guard leaves
another man to fill his place. He is soil
tary standing army, and he drills, repri-
mands, promotes and court martials him
self. Who he is nobody can tell; the Man
in the Iron Mask was no greater mystery.
But while he keeps up his steady tread the
city is secure, for the Army of Sixth Avenue
watches over it.-New York Evening Sun.

LOOKING FOR HER FATHER.

Mrs. Catherine Hagel Comes From Ken
lucky in Search of George Haselberger.
Mrs Catherine Hagel who lives at No. q
Lowery alley, Allegheny city, called at the
headquarters of the Department of Charities
yesterday, in search of her father Geo.
Haselberger, whom she has not heard from
for over eight years. Mrs. Hagel stated
that the last time she had heard from her
father was when he was living at Becks
Run, and she with her husband and family
in a small town near Louisville, Kentucky.
Mrs. Hagel said she lived with her parents
until about IL years ago when she married
and went to Kentucky to live with her hus-
band.
After being married about six years her
husband died leaving her with five small
children to take care of. Since the death
of her husband she has been making a
livelihood for her and her children by
washing for her ueighbors. She had
managed to save enough money to bring
her and the children to Pittsburg and ar
rived in the city about six weeks ago in
search of her father. She first visited
Beck's run in hopes of finding him, but
learned that he had not been living there
during the last seven years. Mrs. Hagel
says she has written to g number of her
fathers old acquaintance but can find no
one who knows anything of his where

Sir Stafford Northcote. That amiable poli-

Sir Stafford Northcote. That amiable poll
tician died suddenly in Downing street in
1886, and his death was undeniably hastened
by worries caused by the shameful manner
in which he was hustled out of the Govern
ment by the intrigues OF Churchill and the
perfdy and desertion of his friend and chief,
Lord Salisbury.
The manner in which the selections have
been made indicate that the book has been
published by his family as vindication of
his personal and political probity, and that
it was not submitted before publication to
the Queen and the Prime Minister. 1t sheds
light upon many dark points in Tory diplo-
macy and craftsmanship, and has intensely
annoyed Lord Salisbury in particular and
the Tories and Unionists in general. The
latter, for instance, are pondering uneasily
and with misg;vings as to their applicable
ity to the present political situation the fol-
lowing words spoken to Northcote by Lord
Beaconsfeld shortly before that cynical old
Tory's death: 1--WE must above all avoid
putting our Whig friends into any difficulty
by making them appear to be playing Tory
game" The Whig friends referred to were
Harrington, Goschen and others, now known
as Unionists, who are undeniably playing a
Tory game.

Trying to Ascertain the Effects of the Nc
Kinley Bill, and Looking Out for New
Markets-Prospects for a Government
Majority Rather Uncertain.
[coPYRIGHT, 1890, BY THE NEW YORK ASSOCIATED
PRESS!
BERLIN, October 25.-The Commission Of
the Reichstag to which was referred the
labor bills will resume its sittings Novem-
Der 4. Time will thus be given for a COM
plete discussion of the measure before the
reassembling of the Reichstag in the first
week of December. The ultimate shape and
fate of the bill depends largely upon the
Governments tact in securing majority.
The Center party continues to make the
abolition of the prescription of religious
orders an absolute condition of Its support
of tine Emperor's social reforms. The old
Cartellists resist the abolition. A section
of the Progressists and all the Social
lists, considering the prescription con-
trary to the principles of free
people, will vote with the Centerists. Herr
Windthorst reckons that thus there will be
24O votes cast for the repeal of the law. If
the Government accepts the gage of peace
offered by the Center party and accords the
abolitions desired, a strong majority will be
assured for the labor and other social
measures.
Several official movements point to the
probability of tariff questions engaging the
attention Of the Reichstag, rendering all the
more necessary a careful nursing of the
Ministerial majority. Thus, one commits
sion, comprising 20 members, has been ap-
pointed under the Ministry of the Interior
to inquire into the Austro-Hungary COM
mercial relations with view to reciprocal
dimInution of tariffs. Communications
from the Ministry of the Interior have been
sent to leading firms in Hamburg, Bremen,
Breslau and other trade centers, asking
them to report on the effects of the Nc
Kinley bill in their lines of trade. They
are aisos asked what pfsspeet= there is for
finding new channels for the merchandise
affected by the American tariff. The CON-
mission on Foreign Tariff further has to con-
slider the new Russian protective measure
OF the recent raising of the import duties
imposed by Russia, 20 per cent was merely
provisional, pending the fixing of a new
rate.
A Tariff Commission, drawn from the
public departments of the chief commercial
centers of Russia, and presided over by the
Finance Minister. will begin its sittings
next week for the purpose of deciding upon
the details of the new tariff, which the
Nouoe E-emya declares will be the highest
in Europe.

YOUNG MISSIONARIES.

rresbyterian Children Celebrate the Fifth
Anniversary of Their Assembly-Worl
IN Alaska and on India's Coral Strand
An Interesting Occasion.
Between 300 and 900 children Of this city
and Allegheny of Presbyterian parentage
Yesterday forgot all about the position given
lnem In the creed and enjoyed themselves tc
the full. 1t was the occasion of the fifth
annual missionary assembly for children
and young peoples bands of the Presby-
terian churches, and exercises were held in
tne East Liberty Presbyterian Church, Miss
nate Mcknight presiding and opening de-
votional services.
The rollcall showed the Happer Band,
East Liberty Church; Mary Farrand Band,
Southside Presbyterian Church; Ellsworth
Band, Ellsworth Church; Boys Brigade,
East Liberty Church; Chalfant Band, Park
Avenue Church; Kumler Band, East Liberty
Church; Earnest Workers Band, Wilkins.
burg Church; Willing Workers Band,
Ihlrty-ninth Street Presbyterian Church,
and Park Place Mission Band, of Wilkins
burg.
Short reports were made by each of these
bands showing that the membership of each
was constantly increasing and all working
enthusiastically for the 1lssionary cause. A
pleasing exercise was given by the Mary
Farrand Band, of the Southside. The per-
formers numbered about 80, and all were
dressed in picturesque costumes; some little
girls as fairies and little boys as knights of
the fifteenth century, fighting for the cause
OF Christianity. When they had mounted
the platform they recited in concert few
short verses, entitled "The Heathen's
Request"
Ali of the children united in singing the
hymn Christ for the World We Sing"
The ladies Of the East Liberty Church
had prepared lunch, and after it was eaten
the children sang several hymns. and Rev.
Richard S. Holmes, D. D., prayed. Short
recitations by all the bands present
were delivered; some being made
in unison by the different bands
and others by individual members of the
bands. Little Morrison Jones, of the Kum-
Ter Band, received an ovation for recital
entitled: "Give the Little Boys q Chance. "
Rev. Mr.. Holmes made a short address
telling the children what good their
work was doing; how happy the
poor people were to receive the
Bibles which were sent to them, and how
boxes sent. de said that if the children OF
aside cent each Sunday it would amount
at the end of the year TO over $4,000. He
concluded by complimentng them on the
good work they had already done, and said
it would prove to the world that it was
never too early to begin good work.
The election of officers was held. Miss
Mary Lyons was elected President;
Miss Mcknight, First Vice President;
Mrs. W. P. Magee, Second Vice President;
Mrs. w. r. Farrand, Third Vice President;
Miss f. Cooper, Recording Secretary; Miss
NJ. Parke, Treasurer; Miss Kinnmer, Miss
May Beech. Miss Josephine Kelly and Miss
Launitz. Corresponding Secretaries.
The ladies of the East Liberty Church
were voted thanks for the entertainment,
and all present sang "From Greenland's Icy
Mountains" and the exercises terminated.
The next meeting will beheld at Wilkins
burg next October.

lawyer must be man OF the most scrupu-
lous honor. The notion SO prevalent
among those who do not know any better,
that lawyer is trickster, and not to be
trusted, is a sadly mistaken one. Nothing
can be farther from the truth. do not be-
lieve that In any calling, profession, trade
or pursuit there exists as fine a sense of
honor, as scruDulous a regard for the rules
Of right living in the relations
BETWEEN MAN AND HIS FELLOWS
as exists among the members of the bar.
Temptations to dishonesty surround them
on all hands and always, but examples of
lawyers unfalthfulness to their trust are
exceedingly rare. The nice distinctions
that appeal to the legal mind of the sue
cessful lawyer are not confined to principles
Of municipal law; they extend also to the
principles OF the moral law.
The successful lawyer OF the present day
is generally in the receipt of a generous in
come. He can command large fees and an
ample compensation for his services. 1t
will be found true, as rule, that few
lawyers in any given town or city monopo-
lize the great bulk Of the remunerative busi-
ness. To them go all the great and In
portant cases.
In this busy age, in the midst of Amer
lean push and enterprise, where great money
interests are at stake and litigation neces-
sarily follows, the bar. it may be believed,
is an open way TO fortune to the lawyer of
brains, industry and honesty.
