ACCORDING to the philosophy OF the
pessimists there is ALWAYS something
to dread. Some one says: MAN has
anything but a soft snap on the earth.
When he is well he is in constant fear
OF being ill, and when he is ill it is
always time for him to take his medi-
cine" So trouble is always in sight

NO END OF A ROAST.
A SEVERE SCORING FOR pALzELL land
DELsMhTER

| Independent Republicans Hold an Enthu
siastic Meeting in the Thirteenth Ward
John ID. Watson, Esq, Says Delamatel
Can Sue Emery for Libel Under the Law
The pure air of the hilltops filled the
lungs of the Independent Republicans al
the meeting held last night In the Thirteenth
ward school house. The chairman was
Robert Dalzell and the Secretary was james
Devlin. The speakers were John d. Wat
son, ESQ.,, and Thomas Patterson, Esq.
Mr.. Watson started by saying that he had
been Republican all his life and was still
in accord with the principles of that party
national platform. In support of that he
paid Congressman John Dalzell cousidera-
bic attention. and said he was the Largest
small man in Congress" Concerning ex-Sen-
ator Lewis Emery, ex-senator Homer j.
Humes and ex-Representative Birch, he
said he knew them, and their reputa-
tion for truth and honor were of the best.
About Captain John Morris, OF Mead
vile, the speaker said he had gone to school
in that city, and knew the old soldier whom
George w. Delamater defeated to elect
Democrat County Treasurer, and knew him
to have always been a sober, upright and
Trustworthy citizen, and had never heard
him being accused of anything but being
cripple-s shattered man, physically.
Mr.. Watson reviewed Senator Emery's
charges against Mr.. Delamater-bribery,
perjury, forgery and unlawfully appropria-
ting and using State funds, and then read
Chief Justice Paxson's opinion in the Briggs
versus Garrett case, cited BY Republican
speakers to show why Emery could
not be convicted of libel. He charged
wIllful Misrepresentation of. the case or else
gross ignorance of the English language on
the part of those who said that an action for
libel did not lie against a man who would
"willfulIy coin lie andlutter it," and said
that the attitude of the Republican speakers
in first claiming that the ''charges were un-
true, 0" and then asserting that the man who
made and uttered them could not be con-
victed, was a contradiction and an ab-
surdity.
Mr.. Pattison spoke of the way in which the
present administration had violated the law
in selling securities and distributing the sink
ing fund among political favorites of Senator
Quay, and charged that the one man singled
out for especial monetary consideration of
that sort was the self-coDfessed briber and
pardoned convict, Kimble, the henchman
and confederate of Mr.. Quay. He said Mr..
Delamater was Denenclary unOer Mr.
Quay's will and was willful and unscrupu-
lous violator of both the law and the Con-
stitutioD.
One of the largest meetings to be held Is
expected to convene this evening in the
Oakland School of the Fourteenth ward, at
which Chairman W. S. Blair, of the Inde-
pendent organization, will preside, and the
speakers so far announced are w. S. Pier.
Esq, John d. Watson, ESQ.,, and Thomas
Patterson, Esq.
Mr.. Pier spoke to a large gathering of
Independents last night at Hazelwood.

A Sixth Warder Who Lets People Know
Just Where He Stands.
The following letter was sent yesterday
by Henry A. Schafer, of the Sixth ward, in
response to a notification that he had been
appointed a member of the Republican
Vigilance Committee for his ward:
PITTsBURG, October "a, 1890.
John Gripp, ESQ.,, Chairman Allegheny County
Republican Committee on Organization.
SIR-1t was with considerable surprise and
unlimited dlspleasure that I received your no
tice of my appointment on your committee /
can assure you the honor was not solicited by
myself nor any of my friends. A few inquiries
among your workers in my district would have
enlightened you as TO M standing in this fight.
L would also have you know, sir, that am still
a Republican, following the dictatlon of his
own conscience in this matter. Although it has
been my misfortune to be with the weaker side
in every political contest in which have taken
part have never yet been influenced by offers
of money, directly or otherwise. making it use
less for any of your workers to again approach
me on this subject The balance of your letter
is unmistakable evidence of weakness. and if
consigned to the waste basket would do your
candidate no further harm. Hoping that you will
understand that / am Pattison Republican,
this communication will receive the considera-
tion it deserves. am respectfully,
HENRY A. ScHAFER,
Third district Sixth ward, Pittsburg.

WHITE CAPS ON MT. OLIVER.

John Kinzler Gets a Letter and Orders to
Take Care of His Family.
Another White Cap story has been sprung,
and this time it comes from the Southside.
John Kinzer, who resides at No. 1877 Wash
ington avenue, Mt. oliver. called at Alder
man Hartman's Office, last evening, and
stated he had received letter signed by the
secretary of band of White Caps. Kiuzler
had the letter with him and left it in the
hands of the Alderman. It had been mailed
on or about October 21, and had been post
marked at the Southside station, at o'clock
last Tuesday evening. In the letter Mr..
Kinzler is accused of abusing his family,
and is threatened with severe punishment If
he does not give his wife and children better
treatment. ---
Mr.. Kinzler stated to the Alderman that
he was at a loss to know why such letter
should be addressed to him, as he always
had provided for his family. Mrs. Kinzler
says she is astonished that anyone should
send such letter to her husband. Kinzler
has wife and four children to take care Of,
and after being assured that he would be
protected from any attacks made by the
alleged White Caps, he returned home.

Work in the Country. -
Chairman Blair, of the Independent Re-
publican County Committee, was visited
yesterday by a member OF the Republican
Executive Committee of Beaver county.
The latter gentleman is tride too shy,
under existing circumstances, to allow his
name to be published. Nevertheless, he
made an earnest plea for an Independent
Republican mass meeting at Beaver, to be
addressed bv Senator Emery and 7. NJ.
Marshall, Esq. The call for the meeting is

a STRUGGLE IN THE SIXTH.

William Mcfarland Pushing Captain Nesbit
Closely for the Legislature.
Quite an exciting struggle is being carried
on in the Sixth Legislative district, on the
south side of the Moaongahela. The Re
publican candidates are David R. Jones
and Captain W. j. Nesbit, and their Demo-
cratic opponents are William A. Mcfarland
and J. W. Irwin.
just at this stage Of the game it appears
that Mr.. Mcfarland has been working hard.
and with such a degree of success that il
looks as Il he might beat Captain Nesbit in
the race 10 Harrisburg. The latter has now
jumped into the fight with vim, and ex-
poets to make it very interesting for Mr..
Mcfarland.

PLEASES MANY PEOPLE.
A Verdict Against Two Policemen Nee
With General Approval.

A Verdict Against Two Policemen Meets
With General Approval
There is an immense amount of quiet sat-
isfaction expressed at the result of the suit
of j. r. Meredith against Police Officers
Alex. Bovard and Andrew Scott, giving
him S62 damages for false arrest for demand
ing the number OF an officer when pushed
into the gutter by him, at the corner of
Fourth avenue and Smithfeld street. Many
people say that, while they have high
respect for an officer in the discharge of his
legitimate duty, there are men dressed in
little brief authority" who seem to feel
that civilians have no rights policemen are
bound to respect.
Qualification is also expressed that dam
ages awarded were small, but at the same
time large enough to teach the martinets a
wholesome lesson. This opinion is expressed
without regard to the merits or demerits of
the case in point, but as to its effects in a
general way.

AS MUCH WIFE AS EVER.
A Pittsburger Who Has No Faith in the
Professions of the Mormons.

A Pittsburger Who Has No Faith in the
Professions of the Mormons.
Mr.. Harding Kimberland, of Kimber-
land & Co., who lately got married, and,
with his wife, made tour of the Territories
and the Pacific slope, spent considerable of
his time in Salt Lake City, in the study of
the polygamy question-not that he wanted
any more wives, but because he was inter-
ested in the study of the question, stimu-
lated by reading history of Joe Smiths
latter-day revelation and the part played in
the founding of the Mormon hierarchy by
Sydney Rigdon, a proselyte from the Chris
tian, or, as it was then generally styled,
Campbelllte church.
Like Artemus Ward, Mr.. Kimberland
carried his Investigations into the back
yards, and counted the number of pairs of
long stockings on the wash-lines, and is con-
vinced that the professed remuneration of
polygamv is sham, and only acted to Sc
cure the admission of the Territory as a
State. He thinks there is substantially as
much wife as ever IN Salt Lake City.

APhiladelphian Talks of Pattison's Strength
in the East.
A rousing big meeting was held at the
headquarters OF the County Democracy last
night.
Charles f. McKenna was the first speaker
and presented the issues of the campaign in
convincing manner.
George Hoffman, Councilman from the
Fourth ward, Philadelphia, followed. He
said he had just been through II counties
of the State, and brought glad tidings to the
Pattison supporters in Pittsburg. If the
State Democracy would but hold its own,
there was no doubt but that the anti-Quay
element was strong enough to help elect
Pattison with good majority. He placed
Delaware, Lackawanna, Luzerne. Montour,
Lehig and Lancaster counties all in the
Pattison column.
.. j. Mccarthy, a coal miner from Lu-
zerne county, followed with figures showing
how, ifevery Democrat would come out and
vote for Pattison, he would be elected sure.
j. F. Miller, a law student, made his
maiden speech, a fierce TRADE against boss
rule, and his eloquence won him applause
and place on Candidate Brennen's staff for
this evening.

Mr.. Marshall Says He Was Not offered the
Attorney Generalship.
Thomas NJ. Marshall left for Philadelphia
last evening to address an Independent
meeting there tonight. Speaking of his
action in this campaign he said: To-day a
Delamater Republican came to me and said
he had it straight that if Pattison was
elected 1 was to be his Attorney General.
Now, that is not true. No such conditional
offer has been made to me, and I
wouldn't accept 1t under any cir
cumstances. 1t wouldn't pay me more
than 5000 a year, though that sum
could be Increased, but 1 am not a thief.
There is not a man in this independent
fight who is out for lucre. We couldn't get
anything from the Democratic party, and
certainly could expect nothing from the
Republicans.
81 have nothing personally against Della
mater or Quay, and pay no attention to
Emery's charges 1t is honest politics am
after, and the will of the people must pre-
vail"

Bull White Nearly Takes His Life in Gen.

William White. better known as ''Bull"
White, created quite sensation st Central
station last night by pretending to commit
suicide by hanging and coming very near
being more successful than he intended.
White has been on big spree for some
time He was arrested yesterday afternoon
for drunkenness. About 7:30 o'clock last
evening Sergeant Gray was called by an
other prisoner, who said that White was try
ing to hang himself. White was found on
the bench in his cell, and had tied a neck
scarf around top bar and was tying the
other end around his neck. He was placed
in another cell, and few minutes later
another prisoner raised the same alarm.
This time White had succeeded in hang
ing himself in fact, the scarf being stronger
than he thought and when Sergeants Gray
and Metz got to him he was hanging and
almost strangled. They quickly cut him
down. He was terribly frightened and
thanked the Sergeants profusely, saying he
had been only joking

he continued. 1--WE are going along in a
quiet, easy way, and have every reason to
be confident of success"
The news that Delamater had broken
down and that Governor Beaver would fill
his engagements did not appear to fill the
Republican leaders with unalloyed pleas
ure. Chief Brown would say nothing on the
subject-he simply retired within himself,
as it were, and seemed dissatisfied with his
surroundings. Several other persons pres
ent were approached upon the probable
effect of Understudy Beaver upon his
audiences, but they remained silent and sad.
