According to our Washington special
to-day Secretary Blaine's health is very
precarious. Patriotic men, who feel
pride in our free institutions will all re-
gret this, as Mr.. Blaine is about the only
man in this administration worth looking
at.
Harrison is now giving the country
sort of Texas steer Pittsburgh Dis
patch.
A Texas steer is an animal, one-third
horns, with the balance, hair, bowels and
below. Where does Harrison come in,
except on the bellows.
After all the fuss made over the dis
tinguished men, it was demonstrated that
Foraker was the most picturesque and
sensational character at the Cincinnati
Republican League clubs.
TIE sentiment of the Democratic party
is largely in favor of the denomination of
Governor Campbell. There are some
persons who are making boisterous oppo-
sition, but the number is growing less,
and the convention will likely nominate
him by reclamation. man who worsted
the fiery Foraker at every turn can be
trusted to lead the party against high tax
alton, championed by the Prince of High
Takers. Campbell can and will defeat
Observation-Disclosures Bee.
FORAKER rather beat cKinleyin fulsome
eulogy. While Foraker referred to Blaine
as the greatest living American, Mckinley
only called Harrison shat matchless
man." The, greatest living American
takes in great deal of country, but a
man may be matchless, simply because he
is Off color and shape, like calico horse
with two curbs, ringbone and the string
halt.
THE so-called business council elected
by Democratic votes, starts out with cut
and dried programme-all concocted in a
secret caucus.
LAST night Mckinley actually referred
to Harrison as "that matchless man."
This makes us smile. He failed TO refer
to Blaine's reciprocity the only thing that
has made Harrison's administration re.
spectacle.
WHAT'S the matter with the Billion Con,
gress that the orators at the Cincinnati
League Clubs jamboree fail to say much
about 1t, They also avoid all reference to
the money panic and universal business
depression, precipitated by the Mckinley

A TERRIBLE AEFLICTlON.
A Bone Would Break Almost Every Tims
He Turned in Bed.


PHILADELPHIA, April 90. - Stricken
with rare disease that made his bones
as brittle as a pipe-stRm, Joseph Ma
guire, so years of age, died in the Phila-
delphia hospital on Saturday. Almost
every time he would turn in bed bone
would break. He was admitted to the
institution on Jan. 10, suffering from
cystitis, and was in an. exceedingly en-
feebled condition, and the new trouble
soon showed itself. While moving about
the ward Mcguire suddenly fractured
his left shoulder blade. This confined
him to his bed for several weeks, and he
had scarcely recovered sufficiently to al
low him to sit up when, two weeks ago,
while trying to step out of bed he
fractured his left thigh bone. Mcguire
was made as comfortable as possible
extra soft mattresses being placed upon
his bed and down pillows to each side,
it being evident that another fracture
would result from any movement on the
part of the patient. Ten days ago,
while trying TO turn himself ON his side,
he fractured the other thigh bone About
this time uremia set in, this latter being
the immediate cause of his death. The
disease is incurable, although Maguire's
death was caused by another trouble.

YOUNGSTOWN, o., April 22.-The coal
miners in this vicinity are thoroughly or
ganized and on May will inaugurate a

FOUR BULLETS
Ends the Domestic Troubles of "A Wealthy
Indianapolis Merchant.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 22.-Mr John
Scarry, a wealthy real estate owner of
this city, yesterday fred four bullets
into his body dying within an hour.
His present wife is the widow Of the
late John Phelps, a wealthy lady in, her
own right. For several months there
have been differences, and it was notice
able by the neighbOrs that they occupied
different rooms dined at separate tables
and in other ways lived distinct from
one another. He left note in which he
said: LET this be warning to all.
God have mercy on my soul. ] am the
victim of an unfaithful wife. l am
tired of living. My wife locked me out,
but she cant lock me out of heaven. I
forgive the world. God forgivs.me and
have mercy on my soul His wife ar
rived home shortly before his death, but
she offered no reply when the note was
read i'll her hearing. The charge that
she was uufaithful is understood as re-
ferring to their domestic differences and
not to any reflection upon her character.

New YORK, April 21,---The Hon. Z.
j. Phelps, eH-minister TO England, made
an address before the Reform club last
evening. His theme was largely free
trade; incidentally he spoke of "The
billion congress. Mr.. Phelps marveled
at the extraordinary figures. Every ra-
tional American must pause to consider
the enornity of the national expenditure.
He declared high tariff was delusion
upon which future ages would look
back with the same horror as the pres
ent generation does upon the witchcraft
in the pre-revolutionary days.
Mr.. Phelps said that up at Vermont
the high tariff was a sacred issue. The

dared to give his opinion to the world.
He was Grover Cleveland. The letter
in which he expressed his sentiments

declared he had killed himself politi-
cally; but now these very men were raj
lying around his banner. The Farmers

Special to Plttsburg Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Quay's,
secretary said this morning that the Sem
ator would not attend the meeting of the
Republican League in Cincinnati. He ad4
ded that only Office holders were expected
to be there in full force, and also that he
had learned that great many from
Washington had received orders to attend
so as to help Ak things for Harrison in
1892. The secretary undoubtedly reflects
the opinion of the Senator who it is known
is antagoniste to the Harrison admins
tration. IL Is said that Quay is ready and
anxious to form coalition with three or
four other disting uished disgruntled Re-
publicans, and the Democratic side Of the
Senate, to bring about a reorganization of
that body,
