STILL UNHAPPY.

, The Meadville Tribune Republican
Sscores the Ballot Reform shriekers in
Z the following amusing strain:
One would think, on reading the
utterances of mugwump newspapers,
that Pennsylvania was going to the
Rl, greased-lightning fashion, and
for the reason the Legislature did not
see fit to enact the most cumbersome
features of the Australian ballot law
law, as a matter of fact, the people
were not hankering for, and particu-
larly in view Of the fact that it en-
tailed an additional burden upon the
taxpayers. To the Mugwump there is
nothing so delicious to the taste as to
work in secret; he wants to run his
political stilletto into his nearest and
dearest friends, but has not the courage
to do 80 except in coward fashion-in
the dark, He wants this secret ballot
law; he don't know why he wants it
or cannot figure out when it will prove
of benefit to the people, but he is con-
fident, IL lOonT hurt him, but it may
hurt some other fellow, and on this
general idea he roars and shouts bal
lot reform BALLOT REFORM BAL
rAOT REFORM Well, to satisfy
I'm the Republican party has given
him "ballot REFORM" but yet he is not
happy, he wants to still further in
crease taxation by calling constitu-
tional convention, thinking thereby
that in some way, by hook or by
crook, he can further his interests by
hacking at the constitution. Well, the
Republican party has agreed to give
him the opportunity, provided he can
work the people up to the point of
voting for it, and then the question
rests right where it should-with the
taxpayers and voters of the Common
wealth. If they want constitutional
convention they will vote Eyes" and
if they don't they will vote mo" re-
gardless of the roars and the conten-
tions of the restless gang who are un-
able to discover any good in the world
except that which their own hands
have fashioned. In other words, the
Mugwump wants to boss, and he will
Subtless keep on trying to land on
top SO long as he can induce credulouf
men to give him the slightest atten'
ton.

THE ITATA SAFE.
SHE HAS ARRIVED AT A Chill
IAN INSURGENT PORT.
AN OVATION FOR THE CAPTAIN
Nothing is Said About Her Arms
and Ammunition-T Charles
ton Was Not Seen at Any
Time-End Of the Chase.
Bu Nattonal Press Association.

By National Press association.
IoUIoUE, June 4-The greatest enthusi-
asm was created early in the day when
word was received that the Itata had ar
rived at Tocopilla.
Immediately upon hearing this well
come intelligence the insurgent authori-
ties sent back orders to the commander
Of the ltata to lose no time In coming
on to this port.
1t is, therefore, believed that the Itata
will arrive tomorrow.
An ovation awaits her, her captain and
her crew.
The pursuit of the transport by the
cruiser Charleston has been naturally fol-
powed with the keepest interest by the
Inhabitants Of this town.
II 1t Is said, however, that the com
mandeF Of the Itata reports that he did
mot see any trace Of his pursueP,
1t is still generally believed here that
Che Itata made transfer of her arms
l'ammunition to the Esmeralda off the
lMexican coast.
1t is thought likely, however, that the
Insurgents would order the Ltata here If
she had the arms and ammunition still
pn board.
1t may be that she hes already dis
charged her cargo at Tocopilla
AT any rate, IL she has got rid Of it in
any way by transfer to the Esmeralda or
by landing 1t on the Chill coast it may
be that her being ordered here is In ac-
cordance with the seport already sent out
that the insurgents intend to turn her
over to the United States government in
order that the question Of violation of
the neutrality laws may be fully tested
IN the federal courts Of your country.
Whatever action IS taken the skill Of
the Itata's commander In reaching here
In safety, despite the great efforts put
forth by tie United States Government to
capture her the high seas, Ia the subject
! of praise on every hand.

10 K.Ooks az IL the odds Were Against
Cumming.
LONDON, June 4.-One would imagine
that after three days of listening to what
appears to be intensely interesting testi-
mony in regard to the baccarat scandal
the public would begin to tire Of 1t on
the fourth day Such, however is not
the case
The same crowd Of fashiona bic people,
ladies still Proclamation, was found in
side the court, and the lunch baskets
and pocket TASKS were out In stronger
force than ever Fresh-cut flowers
formed part Of nearly every lady's cos
tune, and their odors, mixed with the
artificial perfume on the handkerchiefs
Of the belle danes present, gave fragrance
to the warm court room.
1t Is too early to sum up the effect Of
the testimony already taken upon the
mind of the British matron, who, as
these good ladies will admit has a great
deal to do in molding public opinion. 10
is safe to say, however, that both the
plaintiff In this libel suit, Sir William
Gordon Cumming, and the defendants,
Mr.. and Mrs. Lycett Green, Mr. and Mrs.
Arthur Wilson and Mr. Berkeley Levett,
to say nothing Of the Prince Of WaIes,
have not shown up in very bright colors.
Even the Prince of Wales's best friends
are said TO admit unwillingly that tho
testimony he gave was far from being Of
a nature TO reflect credit upon the future
King of England and Emperor of India.
At this stage OF the proceedings it is
safe to say that Cumming will lose the

TR1GG, of the Eagle, tries to make
LIGHT of the use Of whisky by Re-
publican politicians on election day;
but it comes with poor grace from a
man who pretends to be a prohibi-
Zionist and christian. What we
stated regarding the use Of whisky
(and money! on that day was true
and Trigg knows it, or he is very
ignorant. Maybe he had his leath-
er goggles on that day, and couldn't
see. The use of those articles to
influence voters is generally talked
of ON our streets and in the coun-
trv. In fact, they were not only
used in Garnett, but in other towns,
and at the country polling places.
Trigg need not deny it. Neither
need he deuy that many professed
followers Of the meek and lowly
Jesus (who could not ignore this
attempt at wholesale bribery } work
ed hard for the success OF the
Republican ticket, and then threw
up their hats and hurrahed Justify
because of the defeat Through
fusion, whisky and money Of the
Peoples ticket. Trigg, if you pro
fess to be christian, BE christian

schemes as you know were worked
here on the Sd inst. Church mem
bers talk of a judgment day. Can
you go before the great Judge ol
that day with a clear conscience

Brilliant. have just come back

thing for our success. With gains
of 10 per cent. in Kansas, South
Dakota and elsewhere we have rea-
son to be elated. The third party !
It's a great tidal wave of reform
and can't be kept back. The Al
lance can not even keep it back.
1t will 90 right ahead and consoli-
date the individual organizations
and the Alliance itself will become
a part of it. Not that the Alliance
will aid in establishing the People S
party, for it will go right on study
ing economic questions and accom-
plishing reforms. | mean that all
will be banded into one great move
memt in a political way, without
disintegrating as an industrial or

Won on w hisky.

Governor Boies, Of Iowa, in a
speech at the Des Moines ratifica-
ton meeting, attributed his success
to the stand his party took for high
license in that state. A mighty
poor compliment to the intelligence
of Iowa people, to say that in these
days of big debts, high taxes,
mortgaged homes, idle men, toiling
children, low wages, etc, they ig-
nored all the real issues of the hour
to help restore to the state the
reign of the most corrupt element
that ever disgraced society or poll
tics. We saw map Of the Union
one time, in which the intelligence
of the people was indicated by the
shading of the map. Iowa was
perfectly white, as having the
smallest per cent. of illlteracy.

gent and moral people have thrown
everything else to the winds to es-

VANCOUVER, B. c., Aug. 9.-TSpecial.l-
The Canadian Pacific company's steam
ship Empress of Japan, carrying her
majesty's mails, arrived in port at 1:50
o'clock, having covered the distance of
4,2s3 miles from Yokohama in 10 days,
Is hours and 10 minutes. She had on
board twenty-seven saloon passengers,
sixteen second-class passengers and 237
Chinese in the steerage. Besides this
there were thirty-six sacks of mail and a
full cargo of freight.
The Empress of Japan left Hongkong
on the 18th inst. at 10 p. m, arriving at
Woo Sung on the 14th inst. She arrived
at Kobe on the 10th inst, at Ass a. m.
The wind was blowing a fresh easterly
gale, lasting till D. m, when it increased
TO typhoon force, lasting till 1:3O a. m. on
the 18th inst. During the typhoon the
German steamship Helen Rickmers was
driven ashore from her anchors, where she
now lies several feet above high water
mark. About 400 tons of coal and nearly
all her inward cargo for the Empress of
Japan was lost, the lighters having found
dered. Great damage was done to prop
erty along the shore, and it is believed
enormous loss of life resulted, although
this Is not positively known, as the EN-
press left as soon as she could get out of
the harbor.
Her daily runs from Yokohama to Van
couver are: 18th, IS miles; Goth, 1893; 21st,
$50; 22d, 395; 23d, 3s9; oath, 1874; 25th, 1894;
26th, 395; 9th, 800; 18th, 1888; 18th, $40.
To Vancouver the actual distance is 1888
miles; actual time, 10 days, IL hours,
10 minutes. Immediately on arrival here
the mails, and passengers who wished to
go through. were transferred to special
train which was in waiting, and will reach
New York in time to catch the Atlantic
line from that port on Wednesday next.
Among the passengers is Bishop Bick-
ersteth, of China. who comes to meet his
father, the bishop of Exeter.

How to Kill Squirrels.

The following letter is in answer to one
written by Mr.. Newland inquiring of the
department of agriculture at Warrington
City if the squirrel could not be inoculated
with some contagion that would spread
rapidly and destroy these pests.
without any specimens of the
animal in question we are unable to saw
what means would be successful in restrict
ing their damage, but if their habits are
like those of the prairie dogs, the use of
bisulphide of carbon would probably be
most satisfactory. The following is the
method which has been used extensively
and found satisfactory:
Saturate bit Of cotton or a handful of
rags with a small quantity of the LIQUID
and place il in the burrow. 1t is better to
close the mouth of the burrow for ten
or fifteen minutes, when a lighted match
may be dropped into it. which explodes
the bisulphide. The latter course is not
always necessary, as the vapor is very
heavy and very deadly, and in many cases
the animals will be killed without explod-
ing the vapor. II should he borne in mind
that bisuiphide of carbon is very explosive
and great care should be taken to keep the
main supply safe from fire.
