A BartO Theft.

The trouble about relying upon the
courts to prevent the attempted steal of
Senatorships IN the northwest is Illus
trated in the Montana case.
The Republican courts are as partisan
and apparently aS INSCRIPTIONS as the
Republican candidates or canvaSSIng
boards.
The Supreme Court of Montana has
decided against the Democrats in the
Box Elder precinct To do this it was
obliged to decide exactly contrary to its
ruling in 1890, in the famous Silver Bow
case, upon which the first Republican
theft of two Senators in that state was
based.
But a little thing like reversing their
own decision in order to give their party
control of the Legislature does not dis
turb the Montana Republican Judges any
more than reversing his instructions to
a grand jury in order to save Blocks-of-
Five Dudley from the penitentiary trou-
bled Judge Woods.
If the steal shall succeed in Montana
or any other state by means of a prosti-
tuition of the courts to partisan uses there
will be but one remedy left. The SEN
ate is the sole Judge of the election. re-
turns and qualifications of its members,
and that If the result of any election
shall be reversed by fraud or trickery
lit will be the duty, and no doubt the
pleasure, of the Senate to deny admis-
sion to the pretenders." " The Senate
must not be stolen.-N. J. World.

As a general thing the plain honest
neople do not take kindly to the posi-
biIitv of election contests in this county
for the offices of Assembly, Register ana
Recorder and Coroner. There Is Int
tie or no doubt but that Jacob c. slime
man, Daniel A. McGough and Dr
George Martin were honestly elected 10y
the people of Cambria county, and any
attempt TO set aside the verdict of the
people at the polls, by legal technecalIues
and quibbleS in our conrts, should be
frowned down by the people OF all par
ties. If, as alleged, in some districts the
booths and guard rails were not placed
in positions that strictly complied with
the law, the honest voters of those dis
tricts should not be deprived of their rights
of suffrage on that account when their
ballots were honestly cast and honestly
counted. That so many illegal votes
were cast in one district and so many IN
another, although sworn to by men who
do not reside in either district, when
three watchers of each party supposed to
be the best political workers in the re
spective districts were on hand to watch
their party's respective interests, Is "a
proposition that the people seem to
doubt even though five men are found
willing to s,ceU they believe. the state
I ment to be true. There is a possibility
| that an odd vote here and there through
out the county may have been Illegally
and wrongfully cast and unwltingly re-
ceived, but they are very few and the
probability is that neither party would
be materially affected by an expensive
election contest which would end IN
throwing out some few votes for both
parties and then not affect the genera
result.

The Populists in the next Senate, says
the ~ Y. World, will be the natural al
lies of the Democrats on the most i'm
portant matters that will come before
Congress.
These are tariff reform, economy in
expenditures, antitrust and anti-cor-
ruption legislation, the repeal of the
Federal election bill and the admission
of Arizona and New Mexico to the
Union.
The Democrats and the Populists
fnsed in several of the Western states.
They will together control several of the
Legislatures The third party has no
afhliation with the Republicans. 1t is
composed in the main of voters who
have become disgusted with Republican
rule
Senator Kyle, of South Dakota, a
leader of the Populists, says, There is
much in common between our people
and the Democrats" and adds that he
has, wholly unsolicited, voted nine times
out of ten with the Democrats in the
Senate.
The Republicans cannot rely upon re-
tanning their grip on the Senate by the
votes of the men who have overthrown
them at the West.

The Real Lost.

PHHLADEI-PHIA, Dec. 14.-Judge Fell
to-day decided against the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad Company's application for
reversal of a verdict indemnifying IA
shipper over the line whose goods were
lost IN the JOhnstown flood. The goods
IN dispute consisted OF 10 barrels of
whisky shipped from Bethany, Pa, to
Lang, Bernheimer Il Co, of Philadel-
phia. 1t was shown that while the part
of the freight train containing
the whisky was swept away by the
water, the car in which it was loaded re-
mained uninjured, but was deserted bv
the crew. A mob of vagabonds seized
the liquor, and committee of citizens
was obliged to take it from them and
destroy 1t for the protection of the COM
munity and preservation of order. As
employees of the road had neglected TO
interfere with the piundcrers, the Judge
refused to interfere with the jury's YER
dict.

A Business Time Lock.

EAST PALESTINE. O., Dec. 12.-The
story of peculiar incident here on sat
urday leaked into circulation to-day.
Friday night F. b. Chamberlain, cash
Ter of the banking house of Chamber
lain Bros. Il Co, closed the vault for the
night under the impression that it was
Saturday instead of Friday He accord
ingly set the time-lock to open on Mon
day morning, as he supposed, but as a
matter of fact it was set to open Sunday
morning Saturday was pay day at a
number of the works here and the funds
for the pay rolls were in the time-Iocked
vault. The bank was obliged to secure
the money from Salem, as the timeclock
could not be persuaded to open until
morning.

CONGRESSMAN SCoTT, of Illinois, on
Monday introduced bill to increase the
internal revenue tax on whiskey to
81, % a gallon.
To tax whiskey and untax the com
mon necessaries of life is policy rapid
" growing in favor among Democrats
in Congress.
To add 60 cents gallon to the whis-
key tax-which is proposed 10y some per
sons-will increase the revenues by 500,
OOO, 600 a year 1t will embarrass no
industry, lay no burden upon the people
and harm nobody 1t will not even di-
minish consumption, as experience has
proved.
The distillers themselves do not OBJ
ject. With the bonding system in force
they are not called upon to pay the tax
except as they make sales, and it takes
nothing out of their pockets. The ma
chinery for collecting the tax is already
in complete working order, so that the
| increase will add nothing to the cost OF
| collection. The danger of Illicit distil-
latiOn no longer exists in anything like
the degree it did in the more chaotic
time Immediately after the war, and
frauds of that kind can now beprevented
as easily as any others.
In brief, here is $6O, 900, 900 of reve-
nue. to be had for the taking, and its
taking will hurt no interest and offend
no sentiment, while it will free the
| hands of Congress for the work of re
| lieving the peoples burdens.

Mr.. CLEVELAND announced on We'd
nesday in New York, that he had de-
cided to go to Lakewood on January 10
to remain until he goes to Washington.
He will prepare his inaugural address at
Lakewood and go from there direct to
Washington. Colonel Lamont and Mrs
Lamont will accompany Mr.. and Mrs
Cleveland and their daughter TO Wash
ington. When asked about the cabinet.
Mr.. Cleveland said: There is moth
ing in the gossip you hear about it, and
there will be nothing to say authorita-
lively for some time to come. At the
proper time there will be no secrecy
about the selection of the members of
the cabinet"

Harrison has fraction over the vote
necessary to command 16 Electoral votes,
but Cleveland has much larger fraction
over II Electoral votes, and he would
be entitled to the one vote given to tn e
fractional number. Bidwell would be
entitled to one Electoral vote. although
he falls some 1000 short of the requi-
site quota.
1t is impossible to attain the election
of President and Vice President by a di-
rect popular vote. 4 dozen or more of
the smaller states would protest against
1t because 1t strips them of their present
unmerited influence in national contests,
and they have the power to defeat it.
Nhenlt Is an lmperlouS necessity to pro-
vide a remedy for "A seriously threatened
evil, and the best remedy is not obtaina-
BILE, 1t is the part of wisdom to accept
the best remedy that can be had.
Mr.. Springer's proposed amendment.
providing for the distribution of the
electoral vote in accord with the popular
vote for President aud Vice President. is
now likely to be revised and reported to
the House at an early day, and every
consideration of public duty and public
safety calls for its passage by the present
Congress. \ grave peril confrOnts the
country, and the party that opposes
Electoral reform must be judged by the
people of all parties as opposed to the
tranquility and safety of the Republic.

The North Atlantic Steamship Associ-
alton at London, on Monday, in view of
the American regulations in regard to
emigrants, has decided to carry on its
vessels only saloon and second class pas
sengers from January l next. II was
also decided to materially reduce the
number of sailings during 1898 and to
raise the saloon and second cabin rates
in order to make up the loss incurred
through abandoning the steerage traffic.

The House rules committee at Wash
ltgton on Wednesday promised the
members of the Raum investigating
committee a special order within day
or two for consideration in the House
of the report the majority made at the
last session as the result of its investiga-
ton into the management of the pen
sion office. 1t is expected that the order
willenable the majority to Gallup before
the holidays theirresolution recommend
ing the dismissal of commissioner Raum.
The Republicans prevented action on
he resolution during the last session and
an attempt to pass it at this session is
very likely to provoke a lively debate.

THERE has been some rather pitteous
talk about the poverty in which Mr..
Harrison will quit office, says a CORE
spondent of the " Y. World. 1t is sub
imated nonsense. Mr.. Harrison has had
an annual salary of $50, 600. He has
been allowed 50, 900 a year for a private
secretary, -, 500 for an assistant secre-
tary, and from 5000 to 81, 600 each for
one executive clerk and disbursing Off
Ger, another executive clerk, four other
clerks, an usher, a steward, chief door
keepers, four messengers. an engineer
and "A watchman. He has also been al
lowed the tidy sum of -, 900 for ''con-
tingent expenses. That Is to say, Mr.
Harrison, in addition to his salary of
$50, 900 a year. has bad his expenses
paid to the tune of S44, 200 year, thus
making his annual earnings S94, 200,
and his earnings for the term 1876, 800.
This does not include any Cape May
cottages OF any of the presents made to
his family on the tour around the coun-
try. If Benjamin Harrison has not
saved more money in the last four years
than he ever earned in four years before,
he has acquired habits of extravaganza
of which he is wholly unsuspected by
anybody who knows him.
