BITTER ON BOSTON.
FAXON, THE TEMPERANCE APOSTLE,
SPEAKS TO THE W. C.T.U.

He Writes Scathing Letter, With an In
closure of $4,000 for the Cause.-The
Would Put the Ballot in the Hands of
Women.
BOSTON. Nov 13.-GSpecidl. Henry H.
Faxon, the widelv-known temperance
apostle. was listened to to-day by the dele
gates attending the Worlds Convention of
the w. C. T. L. in this city. He sent
checks for 800 to be distributed among
various branches of the W. C. T. T., accom-
panied by red-hot letter in which he gave
the old citv of Boston sthe worst raking it
has ever received. Among other things he
said:
1t was wise TO choose Boston, the foun-
tain-head of the unrighteousness of the
Commonwealth, as the place for this meet
ing. Here is the drunkard's paradise Here
the corrupt politicians congregate. Here
criminals of all classes from every part of
the State feel comparatively secure. The
city'S political destinies are controlled by
keepers of the dens of vice, which here
abound in licensed barrooms. knayes who
are likely TO be summoned for Jury duty are
educated to find loopholes in criminal law
The police force is under the domination of
liquor dealers, ana pensions are offered to
suspected officials TO induce them to retire
from active service.
1t was through the influence of Suffolk
county that the last Legislature passed a
law which encourages perjury and shields
drunken marauders. Surely, a convention
OF Christian women could find no field where
temperance missionary work is more SADLY
needed, and trust that the deliberations of
YOUR assembly will awaken the people to a
sense of their duty to Danish the drink traf-
fc from our midst.
Never forget that the mainstav of the
LIQUOR dealers business is the influence he
exerts in politics. 1t is for this reason that
] urge the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union constantly to agitate the Importance
OF the power of the ballot. When women
shall vote the public schools will be safe, the
saloon will he outlawed, and the city in
which prohibition cannot be enforced'' will
sound puerile.

BELIEVES HE WILL WIN.

Attorney Bremen Confident That the Bal
lot Boxes in the Stayton-Wyman Elec-
ton Will Have TO Be Opened-The Case
He Has Made.
According to Judge Ewing's ruling on
last Saturday, this is the last day of grace
for Mr. Stavton in his contest for the seat
of Mayor Wyman, of Allegheny, and the
Commissioner, J. ID. Shafer, has put in
some hard work in the effort to determine
whether, according to Judge Ewing's
ruling, Stavton's counsel had made out a
prima facie case which would justify an
order for the opening of the ballot boxes.
People who recollect how long it took to
determine the contest between Butler and
Matthews to decide the Seventh ward AL
dermanship, will appreciate the magnitude
of the present fight, where not only one.
but 13 wards are contested, with 81 election
districts
Forgot All About the Afidayits.
1t is alleged by petitioner that there were
about 5000 illegal votes cast for Wyman.
and, as his majority was but SO0 if but halt
of the claim is shown to be illegal it will be
sufficient to make Stayton's case.
The case illustrates the profundity of the
ignorance of election officers generally. For
instance, there are many cases where it is
charged that affidavits required by law to
be made were in many instances not made,
which, of course, invalidates such ballots
colt. Now some of these people had an
undoubted right to vote, and if their votes
are cast out it will be the fault, in some
eases, of the election officers, who In at
least one instance allowed people to
vote when they, the election officers,
felt certain they had the right, without
swearing them. Now, according to law such
ballots are illegal. no matter how clear the
voters right to vote may have been. They
were those who should have been on the
registry list, but were not.
The Oath Was Trifled With.
In some such cases, where the judges were
in doubt, they made applicants swear and
there are those who will be uncharitable
enough to say that some of such swearers
prevaricated There are some alleged illegal
voters on Mr. Brennen's list which will
doubtless be shown to have cast
their votes legally, but the contestant
feels, OF at least his counsel does,
at least he saws he does, that after
all discount there will still be more than

Wyman's election. Mr.. Shafer was non-
committal, but Mr.. Bremen said last night
that he had made his case and was confident
that the order to open the ballot boxes will
be made.
One thing is again demonstrated in this
case, viz, that in addition to honesty in
voters a little illumination directed toward
the education of election boards would save
the municipalities of this Commonwealth
many thousands of dollars annually.

Not Fulfilling Their Promise.

James Fulton, Chicago merchant was
seen at the Union depot for few minutes
yesterday. He says the moneyed men are
not putting up freely the $40, 600 guar
anteed for the Worlds Fair. The commit
tees are having a great deal of trouble to
make collections and considerable bad feel
ing has been stirred up. He doesn't think
that more than 81. 600, 600 can be gathered in
Chicago, and that Uncle Sam will have 20

DEATHS HERE AND ELSEWHERE.
Mrs. Lizzie Steen Dead.

Mrs. Lizzie Steen, highly respected
woman, died yesterday morning at the
home of her nephew, Architect James Steen.
Her body was taken to Baltimore last even
ing for burial. W. B. Lupton was at the
Union depot last evening as one of the
friends. He said Mrs. Steen was one of the
most unSe1fish women he ever knew. When
a boy he attended a boarding school near
Baltimore which was conducted by Mrs.
Steen's husband. She had great influence
over the young fellows, and they would obey
her when the schoolmaster could do nothing
with them Architect Steer accompanied
the remain to Baltimore.

Compliments Paid to the Management OF
the Electrical and Medical Institute,
ana Their SkillfuI Uses Of Elec-
tricity Highly Recommended.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 2, 1891.
Electrical and Medical Institute, Az Penn
avenue, Pittsburg, Pa.
GENTLEnEN-I am very happy to inform
you that have entirely recovered from my
trouble of nervous prostration, and am
cured of the ringing in my head. Electric
ity is life," and you have my sincere wishes
in your welfare as skillful electricians, and
1 trust your institution may and will succeed
under your skillful and earnest manage
ment, and that many suffering from sick
ness of various diseases may be restored to
health by you as have been.
Respectfully,
MRS. j. H. NELL.
Electricity is fast gaining popular favor
as restorative agent both with the Fro
fession and the public in general. Its appli-
cation being adapted in chronic diseases
in some ofits various forms, and the results
recently accomplished give it q place in
medicine and surgery equal to that for
mechanical purposes, and surprising all
other remedial agents that have ever been
discovered.
The institute is the largest and best
equipped of its kind in Pennsylvania, and
under the charge OF a thoroughly competent
medical director, with male and female
assistants, and treats successfully all
chronic diseases. The Office is open from
A. NJ to P. NJ. every day except Sunday.

The Supreme Courts Decision.

As there seems to be some confu-
sion in the mind of the public in
regard to the matter of the opinion
of the Justices of the Supreme Court
on the Cabinet question the following
statement is given:
"On the 10th instant, the Cabinet
of His late Majesty sent request to
the Justices OF the Supreme Court
for an opinion upon the question
whether the Queen was authorized
by the Constitution to request their
designations and was free to appoint
a new Cabinet.
"Ou the 18th the Cabinet asked
the Justices to suspend their reply
until they should be notified to pro-
coed with it. In the forenoon of
Wednesday, the 25th, the Cabinet
asked the Justices to proceed with
the consideration of the question.
At about 2:30 P. NJ. the opinion of
the Justices was handed to the At
torney General, and thereupon the
Cabinet sent in their designations to
the Queen, who then appointed and
commissioned a new Cabinet, as fol-
lows:
Hon. Samuel Parker, Minister of
Foreign Affairs;
Hon. H. A. Widemann, Minister
of Finance;
Hon. c. n. Spencer, Minister of
the Interior;
Hon. w. A. Whiting, Attorney
General.
The Chief Justice was summoned
to the Palace and administered the
oaths of office to the new Cabinet"

The BIGGEST Gun Yet.

The new ten inch rifle recently
tested at Sandy Hook has broken
the record by throwing its shells
fifteen miles. This beats by about
two miles and a half the longest
shot ever known heretofore-the
famous Jubilee shot fired IN Eng
land in 1887. This is assuming, of
course, that the stories of cannon
balls fired across the English chan
mel in Queen Anne's time are fabu-
lous. The 90 inch gun from which
the Jubilee shot was projected was
a far inferior weapon to the ten
inch beauty just tried at Sandy
Hook. During the firing at Sandy
Hook an observer out at sea would
have seemed to see the projectiles
faIling from the sky. He would
have had to climb a high mast to
bring the gun into the range of
vision above the curvature of the
earth. This is the kind of gun
with which the Monadnock is to be
armed. The Monterey wall have
some still more powerful, and the
Oregon will be equipped with a
battery more formidable yet.
The new gun has a twelve-inch
bore. The tests were made under
the direction of Lieutenant Taylor.
the engineer in charge of the works
at Sandy Hook. The gun was first
loaded with 100 pounds of powder
and hollow shell. The charge of
powder was gradually increased,
until $50 pounds were used at
load. The gun stood the heavy
charges. The reports were heard
nearly forty miles down the coast.

The New Apportionmeut.

The Apportionment Bill which
has now passed both Houses, has
fixed the number of Representa-
tives at 356. This number is based
on the recent census. The greatest
opposition to the returns came
from the Democratic side. There
was a furious onslaught all along
the line. But when the apportion-
ment was arranged on the present
basis, it was seen that not single
State in the Union would lose any
part of its representation. The
number based on the census
taken ten years ago was fixed at
325; but the new States admitted
during the last decade increased
the number so that there are 332
members in the present House
of Representatives. Much Of the OPP
POSITION to the last census origin
ated in the city Uf New York. The
Democrats were anxious to increase
the number of Representatives in
that city by one member at least.
The census for New York fell short
of the estimates by something hike
100000 1t WAS claimed that about
that number were absent from the
city when the census was taken.
An effort was made for a recount.
which failed. Neither that city
nor the state gains single men,
Der by the new apportionment.
The allotment of Representatives
under the apportlonment stands as

Why the COnceaIment?

Mr.. EDITOR. For some reason
best known to the Judges of the
Supreme Court, in giving their
opinions in the Cabinet matter, the
majority have dIsregarded preee-
dent, and have not signed their
reply.
This is not q Judgment of the
Court, but q matter of their indi-
vidual opinions. Are they, or Is
any Que of them, ashamed of their
or his part in the matter?
In judgments even, where a ma
iority decide cases, the name of the
dissenting justice is always given.
And generally he states his grounds
of dissent.
The public are entitled to full
and frank action in this matter.
Evasion and shirking of respon-
sibility should be beneath the Dig
nifty Of a Judge of the Supreme
Court. CITIZEN
