TERRIFIC BoMRARDMEN
One Among the Many Grand
Features ofthe ''Siege Of Sc
bastoPol.

Columns OF space would not suf-
fee to describe in detail the host Of
surprising attractions exhibited in
the "Seige of Sebastopol," which will
be produced at Island Park, Harris
burg on juno 16. One ameng the
many grand features is the terrible
bombardment in which hugh war
ships, stationed on the lake, take an
active part. These immense vessels
fire broadsiae after broadside against
the massive forts, while the land
forces add to the general excitement
by determined charges and furious
cannonading It will be q scene of
war ard carnage such as is seldom
offered to the present generation.
The whole affair is On So trsnioE
dous scale it almost appears that
the actual scene of strife that stirred
the whole world WAS being re-enact-
ed. Ten exhibitions will be given,
on Tuesdays, Thursdays asd Satur,
days. Excursion rates and special
trains on all railroads.

1t way not be amiss to notice that the Ne
braska elections, which occurred under the
Australian ballot system, have resulted in
general resumption of power by the Re-
publicans." The good sense of the commun-
ity seems to have asserted itself in Nebraska
much sooner than it usually does after such
a craze as the Alliance mania Of last fall In
that state. 1t may be found upon expert
ence that such movements as the Alliance
movement now is and as the old greenback
movement was. will gain Roadway sooner
under the secret system Of voting. Men are
held back often from joining such mover
ments because of the criticism which they
must stand from their neighbors. But on
the other hand 1t will undoubtedly be found
that the stampedes will be less violent and
less tenacious of life. The man who bolted
from the Republican party to go into the
Greenbaek party or the Alliance party rarely
did so without some bitterness between him
self and his sold party associates. The re-
suit was that he held to the Greenback party
out Of pride and prejudice long after his
better sense told him that its course was
wrong, and when he finally was forced to
readjust his party relations he was quite
likely to drift to the Democrats. Under the
Australian system a single lapse Of the
voter from the strict party creed will be less
likely to result in permanent estrangement.
and the voter will be left free to follow the
dictates of his reason, without bias from
prejudice and obstinacy. 1t may not be safe
to judge from single case; but the immedi-
ate recovery of the Rppublicans of Nebraska
from the tremendous defeat Of last Noyem-
Der indicates that sober reason was much
aided by the Australian system.

Civil Service Reform In the Navy
Yards.


AT the great Republican meeting in Boston
wednesday night the principal speech of the
evening was made by the Hon. B. F. Tracy,
Secretary of the Navy. Mr.. Tracy paid par
tlcular attention to the department over which
ne presi0es, and perhaps the most interesting
ana suggestive part Of his speech was his
consideration of the question of employment
at the navy yards. The practice which
mad prevailed in some navy yards under
some administrations of compelling the me-
chanlcs and workmen in the government

KIncaid's AcquIttaI.

of iuries in the District of Columbia. A few

circumstances it is true which do not seem to
have allowed Taulbee quite fair show; but
under the code Of Kentucky "honor" there
seems to be no fixed rule as to the amount Of

District of Columbia jury seems to have
taken the view that 1t was simply Kentucky

nothing to do. In this respect 1t has shown
itself fully in line with liuries all oyer the

The Democratic landslide in the Colorado
cities may mean much or little. Local
causes may have produced 1t entirely, or it
may have resulted from widespread demon
alization of the Republican party In that
State. 1t would not be surprising If the Re.
publicans of Colorado did not feel In very
good humor over the shameful performances
OF their two United States Senators, Teller
and Wolcott, in the last Congress. On one
of the cardinal principles Of Republican
creed the Colorado Senators sold out their
party, ostensibly for the sake of procuring
more solid advantages for the silver interests
OF their State. They sold out their party
and helped deliver 1t over TO German and the
South. But they did not get the advantages
that they expected for silver. In fact they
rather hurt their cause. Had the elections
bill been treated fairly and in good faith in
the Senate 1t would have been exceedingly
difficult to have prevented large contingent
OF Western Republicans from breaking
away from their party In favor of free silver
coinage. We do not pretend to know what
ails the Colorado Republicans; but the COM
mercial enterprises of their Senators are
reasons enough for sickness.

The proposed national harbor of refuge at
Sandy Bay, Cape Ann, Massachusetts, is a
matter of much interest to all ship owners
and sea faring men. More than 10000 yes
sells pass this point annually In the prosecu-
tion Of their voyages. The national govern
ment is now building breakwater to partly
close the seward opening and thus inclose
harhor of more than sixteen hundred acres,
having two openings. one Of which is to be
much wider than that of any other port on
the coast. No harbor would offer mere ad-
vantages than this. 1t is reached easily by
all vessels bound to or from the coast of
Maine, New Hampshire, or the Provinces;
they would in all cases of stress of weather
have fair wind to Its shelter. free of bars
or distractions or intricate channels. There
is never any ice in the bay there is excellent
holding ground found at the bottom, and it
has large extent of deep water (from four
teen to sixty feet, giving ample room to
avoid crowding and to get under way.

changed for stock OF the Atchson Company. 1t
further stated that the FIRST PREFERRED STOCK

hopelessness Of working under divided owner
