Cleveland's Silver Mistake.

EX-PREsIDENT CLEVELAND wrote q
letter against the free coinage of sill
yer which has destroyed his chances
Tor nomination for the Presidency in
1892. Seeing how he has blasted
his ambitious hopes, he tries to re.
cover himself by writing that he was
mistaken in regard to the effect that
such silver legislation as has passed
Congress would have upon the coun-
try. With the mistake he made in
view. he is not prepared now to say
that he will be against free coinage
Of silver in 1892. 1t is q laudable
thing for man to confess his mis-
takes, but the ox-President is open
to the suspicion that he makes the
confession of mistake because of his
ambition to secure the Democratic
nomination for the Presidency in
1892. This is what he says as to his
mistake in having been against sil
yer:
What would be bad for the coun-
try at the present time, might be 4
necessity in 1894 As the volume of
business increases it is necessary to
increase the currency. The amount
of the present per capita should be
increased, but changes should be
made gradually. When the law was
passed providing for the coinage of
$1,000, 900 per month, l feared the
result, for l thought it would prove
an injury to the business interests of
the country for the time at least.
However, the law proved benefit,
for, contrary to my opinion, the
country was ready for the change.
When the present law providing for
$4,000, 900 per month, was passed,
l thought the measure to radical,
and that it might have the affect of
driving gold out cf this country, but
in this / was mistaken, and both
those opposed US well as those in ia
Yor OF free coinage believe that the
present law is wise one, in So far
that the country has benefited by it.
With the rapid strides the country
is making it is impossible to say what
financial measure we may be ready
for in 1894.

A Phase of Washington Life.

There is splendid specimen OF
the bum who hangs around the sa.
looms on Pennsylvania avenue.
There is no doubt of his being q
bum, for he glories in the appellation
and claims to be a master workman
of the order He is a wild, unkempt
man, and the bridge of his nose vies
with the ruby in erubescen. brill
ancy. He said to Star reporter
last night, 81 can shed barrels of
tears, and in proof thereof he let
fall few as o sample
81 can do things that nobody ever
thought of to get drink of whiskey.
I'm original, you bet"
He then sunk his chin upon his
bresst in maudlin solilOquy for few
minutes. Suddenly bis head went
up with a jerk and his eve brighten
ed with n CLEAN of triumph. He
placed his mouth in rather too close
proximity to the face of the nows
paper man, who discresily turned
1:iear toward the crater of the hu-
man volcano.
Tell you what is, psrd, the finest
game l ever played was a few days
ago. were wandering along in
front of tho White House when the
President of the United States druv
by in his carriage. Now, q swell
day or two before had guv me very
nice looking silk tile. The wind was
blowing very stiff right from me to
the Presidents carriage. ! lifted
the plug hat from the back of my
head and thu wind took it right un-
der the Presidents carriage and one
of the wheels went over the hat.
I" Stop cried General Harrison
to the eoachman, and then he beck
oned to me. l went up to him and
said: Mr.. President don't never
mind about the hat
"'But do mind, said President
Harrison. My carrisge has crushed
your hat, and, as p lawyer, gentle
man and President, 1 am bound to

so continued the master work

for fifty cents. Two dollars and
fifty cezts all made in half an hour.

then hs ran as If the devil was after
him. 1 was about shot and took it
10 my head to foller him. I ran him

Manipurls Routed.

SnLA, April 2I.-Dispatches re.
ceived here from the British forces
advancing upon Manipur bring news
OF further defeat of the iusurgent
tribes, the meagre accounts of the af-
fair which the commanding officer has
been able to telegraph it seems that
large force of Manipuris had been
lowering for some days past around
General Lockhard,s camp. On Sum
day last, April 10, the enemy ap-
preached nearer to the camp and
and throughout that night kept up
the dssultory fire upon the British
force, without, however, inficting
much harm upon the latter.
The next morning, Monday, the
British force made rapid and skill
ful advance upon tho Mauipuris who
were threatening the camp. The
engagement was short sharp and
decisive, and the ensms was complet-
ely routed. The Manipuris lost
about l50 killed and had number
wounded Only one Englishman
was killed and four Englishmen were
wounded.
All the villages in the vicinity of
the camp were burned.

A Valuable Bnstle.

GREESsBUEG, Pa, April 81. - Miss
Maggie Schutt of Derry, this county,
died last week. Miss Schutt's rela-
tives had been puzzled to know what
she did with her money. She lived
like perverse old maid and indulg-
ed in 10 luxurious frivoli.ies. Three
days after her funeral two Of the
young women of the house conclud
ed to clean up the room occupied by
Miss Schutt.
Mrs. Jennie Bennett unearthed n
large well made heavy hustle of tick
ing. With the remark, well here it
goes, Kate, Jennie threw it into the
flames. Taking a second thought
she pulled 1t ont again. 1t seems
awful heavy for hustle, said she;
"let's rip it open" When turning it
over to insert the scissors a piece of
green paper was sticking out of n
whole in seam. The green paper
was bright $50 bill. Scissors were
thrown aside and deft fingers took
their place. The whole thing was
ripped open. There was a feminine
Scream. There lay tens, twenties,
ffties, and nesting in the bed of
greenbacks were shining gold eagles
and double eagles and some silyer
coin. The find notted $4,000.
The money will be divided between
her two sisters. with a neat reward
to the girls, who discovered it. The
old hustle will be covered with tint
ed satin, decked with ribbons and
handed down to generations.

he was married to Miss Annie Sui,
the daughter of well known citizen
After the marriage the couple moved
to Lackawanna county, where Mr..
Miller secured a good paying position
To the outside world it looked as
though Miller had everything to te
thankful for. Such was not the case
:.:ocwsver. - He grew tired Of married
life, and longed for single blessed
ness again.
He had no charge to make against
his wife, she had been faithful to him,
but he wanted travel and to see some
thing Of the country. He was ask
ed why he did not take his wife with
him in his travels. He replied that
he could not afford it Finally he
told his wife of the state of mind he
was in and suggested to her that
they separate. Mrs Miller would
not consent. The husband then
went to John Roberts who was q ri
val of his when he was courting his
wife. Miller asked Roberts if he
still liked Mrs. Miller.
"Of course 1 like her, replied Rob
erts," but what good will that do me
now, since she is your wife
"Well, I'll tell you," I want to go
west, if you pay me $3.50 you can
have ber; l am going west and you
will never hear of me again"
Eyes; but what does Mrs. Miller
say about the matter" Roberts in
quired in an anxious tone of voice.
''Ob. she is perfectly willing, the
husband replied.
Roberts paid $50 down to close the
bargain, and then took up his resi-
dence i'll the Miller household. This
was about a month ago. The new
arrangement seemed to be satisfac-
tory to all concerned until Friday
last, when Roberts received letter
from Miller in Buffalo, requesting
him to send on $50 as the balance of
the purchase money and he would
send him a receipt in full for, his wife.
Roberts refused to do this. He got
mad and left the house.
Mrs. Miller was now deserted by
both men. She appealed to Alder
man Donahue for assistance..when the
whole facts IN the case came out.
Mrs. Miller says, she never consent
ed to the sale. The Justice issued
a warrant for Nlllers arrest on the
charge of desertiop, but it is not
likely that the husband will be found

The Saturday Half HnliJs

The Saturday Hall Hnli14.aay bill
has passed the Legislature. 1t pro.
vides or declares that from the 18th
of June to the 18th of September
every Saturday after II o'clock moo u
shall be legal holiday
AT the meeting of the Republican
League Convention at Cincinnati
last week, the announcement was
made that tin is sold cheaper now
than one year ago. Which is another
score for the Mckinley Tariff Bill.
If things keep going on in that way
the Democracy will be out of thun.
der before next campaign time.
IT would be better not to import
the low-priced foreign laborers for
corporation work. They may swork
for wages a short time and no mat
ter how unskilled they may be, they
soon demand higher wages, and If
their demands are not complied with,
they strike and will not permit 9th
or people to work in the place they
will no longer work in. The result
IS a great loss takes place all round
The country is highly dissatisfied
with the way the bad foreign element
has boon conducting itself, and from
all sides comes the remark, why is
there not something done to stop
foreign emigration
SCORE another great peaceful vic
tory for the Harrison administration
IN its securement of treaty arrange
ments with Spain whereby this coun-
try aud that couatry will exchange
goods and products such rs the one
needs and tho other does not pro-
duco. We admit their sugar and
coffee free, and they admit our grain
aad flour free. That is Reciprocity.
BY the treaty new market is thus
opened for .AmSrican -four, which
will be of great value to the Aneri-
can farmer creating a new market.
The Democratic brethren who put
politics above business have long
faces since the reciprocity treaties
are going into affect for it means
better times for all, and when good
times come, Republicans are always
in favor for their policy fsvors good

bakery to cover his head until the
blood ceased flowing; then he started
for the disputed house as unconcern-

THE FIERCEsT FIGHT.
In the meantime the attack had
been renewed with more 7ise, than
ever. Some of the mob had secur-

the rest. Revolver in hand, she
headed the crowd on the next attack.
As she approached the steps she
opened fire on the Sheriff. The lat

in the fracas he received bullet in
the ankle from the hands of Mrs.

This together with the appearance

A despatch from London saws =
The recent disclosures of the i'll
treatment of men who ship at New
York on cattle boats for this country,
and in consequence of the continual
allegations that cruelty is outraged u.s.
ly practiced upon these people many
cases are Row being made public
that may eventually lead to a reform
atien. A number of the Russian
Polish Jews, from that class which is
SO constantly working passage be-
tween New York and England have
complained thnt they are invaribly
brutally treated and starved while on
such trips. In order to determine
whether there WAS really good foun-
datlon for these statements officers
have been detailed to go amongst
the mon ascertainipg their grade of
Intelligence and character, and by
interviews tried to get at the founda-
ton of these stories.
The result of these inquiries 30 far
as they have been made shows that
most of the men belonn to the skill
ed trades tailors, engravers and fur
dressers being in the majority.
Failing to find work in New York,
these men applied to the different
charitable organizations asking to be
sent to London. The organization
engaged them almost without excep-
tion to work their passages on some
cattle boat. All the sufferers agree
that they were only permitted to
sleep on deck, that they were arous-
ed and made to work before daylight,
despite the fact that the noise and
confusion necessary on such vessel
kept them awake pretty much all
night and that their meals were only
secured by general scramble. Ia
fact these meals they assert consist
ed of nothing more than the food
left by the cattlemep, who first salts
fed their own hunger, and what they
left on the table was given to these
who now make these complaints.
