NOT A FREE TRADER.
A Democrat Who Goes In for "In cid entail
Protection"

To THE EDIToR-Sir: For forty years l
have been a reader of democratic journals
and have been closely identified with the
democratic party, both state and national,
and no one in my acquaintance will ques-
ton my loyalty to party principles and
platforms. / believe that the democratic
party is loyal to the constitution and
strictly devoted to the best interests of
the laboring classes; opposed to all class
legislation OF every description, and in
favor of the enactment of such laws as
will benefit the greatest number without
regard to wealth or position. The party
has steadfastly adhered to the policy of
creating a revenue for the support and
maintenance of the government by duties
on foreign importations as provided by
the constitution; that no more money
should be collected from the people by
custom or internal duties than is abso-
lutely necessary to defray the ex-
penses of the government, honest
ly and economically administered.
These great principles are time honored
and have been Incorporated in county,
state and national platforms and practiced
by democratic administrations from
Thomas Jefferson to the last democratic
executive in Office.
Democrats have always opposed high
protective duties simply tor protection.
This would be legislation for the classes
and not for the masses. But incidental
protection is inevitable with even a tariff
for revenue only. A tax or tariff revenue
certainly does not mean free trade. The
enemies of the democracy charge them
with being free traders. / was surprised
to read in THE SENTINEL of April 4 that
the democratic policy was well defined,
and that tariff for revenue only meant
free trade. Ny dear sir, is that not frank
acknowledgement of what republicans
have been charging against the democracy
for years? II free trade is what Voorhees,,
Turpie, Gray, Mcdonald and Thomas A.
Hendricks 1.-THE noblest Roman of all)
labored for as a cardinal principle of dem
ocracy, have been very much mistaken.
Free trade, in democratic platform in In
DIANA would be disastrous to the state
and national democracy and detrimental
TO the best interests of the government.
The democratic party is now and al
WAYS has been conservative party on all
great questions and principles. And l
believe its platte I'm for 1892 will contain
resolutions for tariff reform and an in
crease of silver coinage, with strict econ
omy in government expenses, free homes
tor actual settlers and graded income
tax for pensions. The republicans will
indorse the president, Mckinley and
Reed protection, with Blaine's reciprocity,
oppose silver coinage, indorse national
banks and recommend an increase of
| bank currency. The labor or third party
will demand free trade, free coinage, q
flexible currency and 2 per cent. loan
on real estate, with lots of cheap money.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, April 10.-There was
considerable indignation expressed in and
about the town OF Pittston today when
the story published this morning con-
corning the condition of Miss Anna Dick
inson and the alleged persecu ton OF the
afflicted woman by her sister, Miss Susan,
was read. The Pittston Gazette this even
ing says: ''Of course there is not to be
found IN all this region a single person
who for one moment believes the ridicu-
lous story sent out. Miss Susan has been
greatly devoted to her sister and for years
she has placed her welfare above all else,
even to the extent of relinquishing, the
greater portion of her literary work in
order that she might be able to better at
tend to her sister during her late illness"

OLD MEMBERS sECEDE.

They Protest Against Modern innovations
and Will Form q Separate Church.
BEAVER FALLS, Dec. IL Special. 1-For
some time past feeling of dissatisfaction
has been growing among some few old MEM
bers of the Presbyterian Church in this
place owing to many things introduced by
the younger spirits of the congregation.
Some months ago it was decided to enlarge
and improve the looks of the church, place
in it large and expensive pipe organ and
introduce paid choir. 1t was then these
conservative members decided that things
were going too far. One of the older
deacons told the pastor that he would with
draw and join another Congregation. Al
though this caused considerable gossip yet
it resulted in no outbreak among the MEM
bers, but at the same time quiet work was
going on.
AS the result meeting will be held to
take preliminary steps toward organizing
another congregation and building another
edifce, to be known as the Second Presby-
terian Church. Some 30 families have
avowed their intentions of joining in the
movement, yet not all of these are opposed
to the organ, paid choir, etc. They live at
the upper end of town and would prefer a
place of worship nearer their homes. A
minister of this place, but who has con-
gregation in Lawrence county, several eld-
ers and deacons of the old church, are the
leaders in the movement. The members of
the old congregation say there are enough
Presbyterians in the town to support two
churches. and if they want to leave they
will not oppose them.

BREAKING THE STATE GAME LAW.

NEWSY NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE p1sPATcH.l
MoRGANTowN, Dec. 1.-The Mononga-
hela Valley Sportsmen's Association last
night caused the arrest of four prominent
Pittsburgers, in whose possession were
found five deer and several wild turkeys,
which they were unlawfully trying to ship
into Pennsylvania
The gentlemen who, for PHYS sake, asked
that their names be not mentioned. were
taken before magistrate and each fined $40
and costs, the minimum penalty. The maxi
mum penalty for having deer or turkey in
possession for the purpose of shipping out
of the State is $50 and costs and 60 days in
jail, except the game be alive or has been
killed on chartered preserves.
The eruption of hunters from Pennsyl-
vania into this devoted State is something
phenomenal and growing worse each year.
Farmers and citizens all over the State have
become indignant at their total disregard
for the laws of West Virginia, and are as
sisting the Game Association in prosecuting
all outside hunters who break the strict laws
of this State. The season for big game
closes December 15.

HUsTLING TO SAVE EXPENSE
Ez-Congressmen in a Hurry to Use Their
Franking Privilege.

Franking Privilege.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IL Special MANY
e1-members of Congress whose terms ex-
pired on the 4th of March last, and who
neglected to send out their quotas of gov
eminent publications and documents to
their dear constituents, are doing some
lively hustling, just now, to save this
desirable booty from falling into the hands
of their successors. They have until next
Monday in which to get their frank slips
deposited in the folding room, where each
members book account is kept and where
huge stacks of all books for public distribu-
tion are stored until ordered out. The
rules of the House of Representatives per-
nit an ex-member of Congress to con-
troll the books entered to his
credit until the reassembling of
the next ensuing Congress, and under the
regulations of the Postofice Department
their franking privilege holds good until
the first Monday of December following the
expiration of their terms of Office. But it
frequently happens that even when books
are ordered out of the folding room con-
siderable time before, they do not get into
the mails until long after, since each mans
order is taken up and disposed of according
to the date of filing.
Aspecial ruling. therefore, has been made
by the Postoffice Department, allowing all
such belated ranked documents to go
through the mails free, provided the franks
have been deposited in the folding room on
or before the date when the franking priv
ilege technically expires. Accordingly,
those retiring Congressman who have got
behind-hand in the distribution of their
documents are making all possible haste to
unload their franks in the folding room be-
fore next Monday, so that their franks may
still retain their potency to carry the books
safely to their destination without expense.

Two 1ncendiaries Who Live on Insurance
Money Arrested in st. Paul.
ST. PAUL, Dec. 1.-One of the most dia-
bolical conspiracies ever concocted was made
public here tonight in the arrest Of two
members of a gang of incendiaries, who for
over year have made regular business of
setting fire to houses and stores in various
parts of the city to secure part of the in
surance money. The detectives nabbed
them in the very act of applying lighted
match to a building
Early In the fall the insurance agents be-
came convinced that many of the numerous
fires here we're of incendiary origin. At
S:15 tonight Morris Michael in company
with Detective Floyd, fred building
upon which policy of insurance had been
obtained by Floyd, the understanding that
Michael was to receive part of the insur-
ance. A gasoline stove stood in corner of
the kitchen. The gasoline had been turned
on and pile of straw set by the stove. A
lighted candle was placed on box in this
straw, and when it had burned a short time
it would ignite the pile. Michael was ar
rested just as he had closed and locked the
outside door and was leaving the house.
Previous to this evenings fire, Floyd had
trapped Michael into a confession that he
has burnt five houses in West St. Paul on
the percentage of insurance plan. Marx
Michael, an uncle of Morris, was also ar
rested as being an accomplice in the busi-
ness. There are three other members of the
gang who will probably be arrested in few
hours

guests will be transferred at once to the

the sharp curves that are encountered in

ACCUSED OF STANDING IN,
Grafton Council Gets Roasted Over Street
Railway Deal.

Grafton Council Gets Roasted Over q Street
Railway Deal.
Public wrath in Grafton was so thick yes
terday morning that it could be cut off in
chunks like soft soap. The cause was the
action of Pittsburg Councils in refusing to
what is known as the Friend Railway Com
pany the right of way over Steuben street.
They say the refusal is in the interest of the
West End street and Pennsylvania steam
railway companies, the former to save a part
Of their Thirty sixth ward custom, and the
latter to bring grist to the Panhandle Rail-
way.
John Rehman, Jr., says that the people
of Grafton have as much claim on the peo-
pie of Pittsburg as any other aggregation
of 5000 inhabitants as, about all of them pay
rent in the city, nearly all transacting busi
ness here and merely going out at night to
sleep. Mr.. Rebman says that by the pro-
posed Friend Electric Railway they would
be but 81 miles from the Pittsburg Post
office whereas at present under Panhandle
Railway management they are, practically,
Is miles, taking time into account.

PROCTOR HAS HIS HANDS FULL
To Clear Up His Desk Before He Leaves for
the Senate.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1-GSpecial lit is
said that Secretary Proctor, who is soon
to leave the Cabinet for the Senate, will re-
turn to the city from Vermont tomorrow or
next day. He will probably take his seat
in the Senate Immediately upon its reas-
sembling, and therefore his resignation as
Secretary of War will take effect at the end
of the present week. He will thus have to
clear up matters in the War Department
between now and Saturday, but his capac-
ity for work is SO great that he will un-
doubtedly be able to turn over his office to
his successor in good condition. There are
a few questions pending on which he is ex-
pected to take personal action, including
the case of Major Throckmorton, the order
for whose court martial was recently sus-
pended in order that Secretary Proctor
might examine the papers.
There will very likely be an inter-regnum,
as it might be termed, between the resigna-
tion of Secretary Proctor and the appoint
ment of his successor, as it seems to be the
desire of the President to send the name of
his new Cabinet officer directly to the Sem
ate. As the resignation of the present in
cumbent must 60 into effect before the nom.
ination of the coming man there can be no
chance for the two actions being stimuli
taneous, and SO the War Department will
have to be without an actual head for some
days. This will not embarrass the Office
particularly, as General Grant, who many
believe will be the new Secretary, has had as
assistant Secretary, ample experience as the
acting head of the Department for some
months Mr.. Proctor's delay in returning
to Washington is taken by some to be an
indication that the slate has already been
fixed with General Grants name on it. and
that Mr.. Proctor, knowing this, has had no
anxiety about the state of affairs in the
office.
