The Socialist labor legislation of Ger
many has developed the idea of Furnishing
laborers who leave employers without notice
but imposes no.smilar obligations on the en-
ployers. This will be regarded as an idlosyn-
Grassy of imperial socialism; but what is to pre-
vent similar features from developing in any
sort of established socialism,

THE POET WAS MURDERED,
And His Severed Head Secretly Buried in a
Leaden Box.

DETROIT April 2L-Dr. o. w. Owen is "a
tlently working on Shakespearean cryptic
gram. He will complete his labors in two
years and publish a book. With his cipher
key, he has established to his own satisfaction
that Bacon wrote the Shakespearean plays;
that five of the works contain q complete mar
ratives; that they contain an interesting
defense of Bacon against the charge of taking
bribes as lord high chancellor. the reason why
he did not fight he case in court being that his
wife was unfaithful and he would have to betray
his own dishonor in telling the story; that
Queen Elizabeth, the "Virgin Queen" was
mother of two boys, Lord Burleigh being the
father of one, and that Shakespeare was a
boorish cior whom Bacon had to murder to
save himself from being betrayed as the real
author Of the plays. Shakespeare's head, so
says the cipher, was buried in a leaden box, and
the place of interment is so ninutely given
that DR.. Owen expects to find it.

Do the Ha1Iroad Tracks Between Here and
Philadelphia.
Philadelphia Record
1t is curious fact, but one which need make
no passenger at all nervous, that the tracks Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad between this city
and Pittsburg are more than one-fifth of a
mile, or ], lS4 feet, to be exact, shorter on an
extremely cold day III winter than on a hot day,
such as yesterday. 1t has been found that a
steel rail expands or contracts one part In each
l4S QUO parts with every change of degree in
every degree. The difference in the length of
the rails on a 90-degree day in August and a
zero day in winter Is therefore. over ], 100 feet
The extremes of temperature in Pennsylvania
are really much greater than these, and doubt
less therefore, the difference the length of the
rails is even more striking. This contraction
and expansion is taken up at the joints.

May Demand impeachment.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1.-The decision of
the State Senate, by vote of the Republican
majority, that it had no jurisdiction in the
case of State Treasurer Boyer was expected.
1t would have been given at once by party
vote if it had not been thought necessary to
make a show of investigating the matter
pending the election. To fill in time, testi-
mony was taken and the question of jurisdic-
ton raised afterward. The Republican side
of the case is very weak, for this second means
of securing the removal of elected officers
was put in the constitution of 1878 for the
express purpose of substituting an easier
means of accomplishing the object aimed at
than by impeachment and for reasonable
cause other than that which would justify
impeachment proceedings. 1t is rumored
that Governor Pattison, persisting in his
course of having the laws faithfully executed,
will summon both Senate and House in extra
session to give them an opportunity of i'm
peaching Treasurer Boyer, Auditor General
McCamant and the mercantile appraisers of
Philadelphia. This action would put the
Republicans in predcament, for the Senate
has resolved that the charges are of INSIDE
meanor in Office, and as the charges are
based on admitted facts the Republicans of
the House would have to disagree with their
brethren Of the Senate or else present articles
Of impeschment.

For the Democratic Advocate.
Temperance Men, Please Consider.

Ii is recognized us fact by many intelli
gent people that the legalized liquor traffic is
a public nuisance, disgrace to each and
every community in which it exists, an inhu
ence directly antagonistic to morality, is det-
rimental to the well being of the people and
is productive of no possible good.
Yet it exists under the sanction of the law
of our land, which provides that by the
payment of a certain price men are privileged
TO barter in that which destroys the happiness
of countless numbers of families, is a stand
ing temptation confronting the young, and
tends to the origination and perpetuation of
vice. But being made legal by legislative
enactment does not legalize this iniquitous
traffic, in the sight of God, or render it less
a blot and stain upon the fair name and repu.
tation of our people.
o, noble men of Carroll, in the name of
humanity, give attention to this important
question.
0, Christians. awake to realization of the
fact that a duty is before us, the performance
of which is obligatory. Let us make a de-
termined and united effort to bring about the
total suppression of the liquor traffic in Car
roll county, and thus secure that which, if
not productive of immediate good to our
selves, will prove blessing to our posterty.
The question naturally arises, How shall
we accomplish this much desired result ?''
By prompt and determined action.
An opportunity is now presented which
many non partisan temperance men have de-
sired. Our State Legislature will convene in
the near future for the purpose of formulat-
ing laws and celebrating upon the means
best adapted for promoting the welfare Of the
people which the members of said body rep
resent. Is it not possible for the many who
are in favor of this important movement, in
some way, to gain recognition at the hands OF
our legislators.
1t is worth the effort at least. Friends of
temperance and sobriety, let us not fear to
make our sentiments known, or hesitate in
the performance of our duty, even in the face
of overwhelming opposition, is the earnest ap-
peal of an humble and sincere advocate of the
cause. CHAs. R. WOODS.

Mr.. Egan, United States Minister to
Chill, is not credit to this government,
and to his personal course during the late
revolution there is due in some measure the
attack on the sailors of the Baltimore, de-
tails of which were recently published in
the ADVOCATE. During the revolution
Mr.. Egan sympathized with President Bal
maceda, and some of his adherents found
an asylum in his headquarters. His course
has turned the Chilian government and
people against the United States, and most
of the trade we had with that country now
goes to England. Mr.. Egan should be re-
called and replaced with man who un-
derstands that our policy is one of non-in-
reference, and who is possessed with dis
erection and Judgment.

Five Amendments Ratified.

On the amendments TO the constitution
the returns show that not more than one
third of the voters paid any attention to
them, and thus demonstrated that such
matters ought to be submitted to the peo-
pie at special elections. The public mind
is too much interested in partisan politics

constitution at general elections. All the
amendments, except the third, were adopt.
ed. The vG:e on them was as follows:

THE TARIFF TO BLAME.
81, ooo, 900 Worth of Carpets at Auc-
tion,

New York, Nov. ia very important
carpet sale was begun yesterday in the auc-
ton rooms of Wilmerding, Morris Il Mitchell.
Nearly every important dry goods, furniture
and carpet house in the country was repre-
sented 1t was the sale Of over 2,640, 900
yards-over s., 000,00 worth-of carpets,
the product of the largest carpet mill in the
world. Besides being the largest carpet sale
ever made, it will be, if not the largest, then
one of the largest two OF three auction sales
eyer make in the dry goods trade.
The cause of the heavy accumulation on
the hands of the manufacturers is said to be
the high price of wool under the Mckinley
tariff. Dealers would not buy carpets at the
higher rates, and the product of the mills piled
up in the owners warehouses. At last they
were put up at public sale.
Walter W. Law, of W. Il J. Sloane, stated
the case to the trade at the beginning of the
sale, saying:
with the removal of these accumulations,
the only serious problem with which carpet
manufacturers will have to contend is the
high price of wool caused by the Mckinley
bill and the still more severe Interpretation
of its meaning by the Treasury Department.
Remember, high prices for wool mean high
cost to manufacture carpets"

Notes Political.

The returns from Iowa, about complete,
show the election of Gov. Boise by 1900
majority, an increase of 5000 over his ma
jority of two years ago, and the election OF
the whole Democratic state ticket.
For the first time since the war Westmore-
land county, Virginia, went Democratic last
week, Hon. Benjamin Chambers having a
majority of 30 over his Republican opponent
for the House of Delegates.
A special to the Cleveland Plaiudealer
from Canton, Ohio, says the official vote OF
Stark (McKinley's) county, as verified, gives
Gov. Campbell plurality of l54.
United States Standardized John NJ. Pal
mer credits the Democratic defeat in Gnio
largely to the silver PLANK in the Democratic
platform.
H. II. Blakemore, Democrat, defeated his
brother, A. j. Blakemore, Republican, for
the House of Delegates in Rockingham coun-
ty, Virginia, by vote of 2,497 to 2,2S7.
The friends in Richmond of Mr.. Cleveland
are talking of getting up a big celebration on
the 22d of next February and inviting the ex-
President to attend. 1t is proposed to make
the event state affair.
Mayor-elect Latrobe, of Baltimore, will be
inaugurated on Wednesday next.
Philip NJ. Hayden, night inspector in the
Baltimore custom house went to st Mary S
county to vote as a Democrat. Collector
Marine had granted him three days leave.
When Mr.. Hayden arrived home he found a
letter from the collector notifying him of his
dismissal from the customs service. Mr.. Hay
den was appointed from ST. Mary's county by
Collector Groome, September "a, 1886, hav-
ing passed the required civil service exami-
nation. During his service but one COM
plant was made against him, and that was
BY fellow officer few weeks ago, when the
former was in charge of the steamship Alex
ander Elder. The charge was that Mr.. Hay
den had been away from his post twenty
minutes, which, according to Mr.. Hayden,
was a necessity.
There will be thanksgiving in all the Dem
ocratic states this year. The President has
been slow to designate the day, because his
mind is rivetted on more worldly things. He
is perplexed over Massachusetts, New York,
Iowa, Maryland, &C., and finds no particular
comfort in Pennsylvania or Ohio. He will
recover himself presently, and appoint day
of universal thanksgiving, but it will make
his heart ache to see how the Democrats will
monopolize the prayermeetings. -Bdtttmore
