sis of the Otberfeller. Most emphat-
ically do we express our Joy from this
gilded rump of bovine beauty, that
thy son, born out OF wedlock, Mr..
Desolation Meankuss, has spread
himself, like an ill-smelling cancer,
DER the Otherfeller's landscape.
Permit thy subservient tribe OF
skinflints, and thy tribe of low-down
tag-tails, and thy tribe OF miscreant
"blocks-of-five," to present to thee,
oh odorous adorables, the Reason OF
our worship, drawn up on the tanned
hide OF the poor devils whom thou
hast crushed:
1st.-We thank thee for the Penn
sylvania law that any wretch who
knocks at door and asks for food,
commits q penitentiary offense-and
for the seventy-fve corpses OF the
wretched who starved under the hedg-
es, on account thereof. We thank
thee, sweet Seraphs OF Serenity, that
thou sendest such to the penitentiary
instead OF to the u. S. senate, as in
case OF our matchless Washburn.
2d.-Accept our delicious satisfac-
tion over the fact that ten thousand
children each year die of starvation,
while corn is worth 15 cents a BUSH
ell on Nebraska plains! What crown
of weather-beaten iniquities could
bedeck g. twin-monster's brow with
more dignity and beauty? When thy
kingship is hedged about with divin-
ity thou canst build the fence with
childrens' leg-bones, 'varnished with
the shrunk hides OF the little wretch
ed nuisances.
3d.-We thank thee, rich-blooded
princelings of centuries OF wrong,
that thou hast compelled millions
upon millions of toilers to create a
beautiful civilizations for us-and that
thou hast prevented them from en-
ioying it-aye, even from wanting to
enjoy it in most. cases. And with Joy
we look into the dark pits where Toll
eats dirt and picks up chips, and is
satisfed-aye proud of their ability
to suffer for our benefit! We have
but one more favor to complete our
bliss, and that is that thou wilt cru
city the active .eusses who are not
satisfied, and go bowling up our back
alleys. y
4th.-Dear Gods Greed and Ava
rice, masterful devils of dominion
listen while we sing praises to thee
to thee!! Hast thou not granted
unto us, at all hours of the day, at
morn, at noon, at night, the glorious
heritage of Fusion, wherewith to Pc
ter out any attempts to thwart our
wills! Bully for fusion-and for the
sightless eyes OF the lost, who wob-
BILE in the mire of compromise.
Again let us give thanks that we
have got the farmer, as we'll as the
city suckers, down where they thank

THE SILVER REPUBLICANS.
Harrison Cannot Get the Electoral Vote
of Colorado. Says Teller.


MINxEAPoIs, MINI, June Ga hot
controversy broke out at almost the begin
ming of the big caucus of Western dele
gates that assembled this afternoon IN the
California delegation headquarters. One
hundred and fifty delegates were present
from the Pacific Coast and Rocky Noun
tain States. TO which invitations were sent
by the Californians.
Senator Teller, of Colorado, was selected
to act as Chairman. Senator Teller held
that il would be useles TO attempt to enter
into the matter of a platform until the
caucus reached some decision as TO the
candidate that would be supported. II
Harrison would be the nominee, 1t matters
not how stroug silver plank
might be adopted, the Republicans
could not carry the Nest'
ern States. The Senator declared
specifically that Harrison under no cir
cumstances could get the electoral vote OF
Colorado. Much excitement was caused
by Mr.. Teller's blunt declaration ana ne
was vigorously replied to by Judge spence,
of California, O staunch Harrison sup
porter. Spence spoke at great length,
gesticulating violently and becoming al
most white at times with passion.
DeYoung, of California, followed spence
in a spirited address and was reinforced oy
no less a Blaine lieutenant than Boutele,
of Maine. The latter spoke with marked
emotion of the Western support OF Blaine
in 1884 and that he had been escorted to his
home by California delegates, a proceeding
Boutelle urged would be no less fitting
now.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, succeeded
Boutelle, and though the caucus was reach
ing well into the evening the interest was
unabated and the attendance showed not
the slightest diminution.

sCribable. There were never sadder
scenes, not even at Johnstown.
Here hundreds are MANNED and
burned to death, while at Jonstown the
number OF injured was comparatively
small, and the scenes in the hospital
are beyond description. Many Of the
| injured have lost a leg or an arm
through the fire, ears and noses have
been burned off, bodies burned and
| blistered, and still the victims live and
suffer.

prepared by Coroner Snowden, is as fol-

the Independent ten, and the Valley
one. All other refineries up Oil Creek
were not damaged.
Pittsburg was the first city to send a
| relief committee. The committee
reached here at 0:30.
oil City is unusually quiet tonight
all things considered. The police have
encountered no disturbances, and the
people generally retired early after
deepest anxiety. All danger from the
tanks that threatened TO destroy the
business portion to-day is past, the fires
all having been extingulshed. The only
| fire now burning is below the tanks.

what the Colored Brethren Want.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, June 6,-The meet
ing which was started at Chicago having
ing for its object the protection of negros
in the South from violence and dlawlessness
and in their right to vote, has come 10
Minneapolis to point where 1t seems TO
figure in the political fight over the nomi-
nation for President.
The movement now has the support OF
John NJ. Langston, of Virginia, while ex-
Senators Bruce and Lynch. who represent
the other wing of the negro element, are
opposed TO the scheme. Langston, in an In
terview on the subject to-day, said that
the negroes propose to push the matter;
He said what the colored men want ana
will ask is that the party shall put IN It's
party plank guaranteeing 70 the ,o coLoreu i.

timidation. They want a law passed CIV
ing Federal control of elections wherever

need, however, will be money, as homes for
the homeless must be secured at once.
The telegraph operators here have work
ed hard and faithfully, some Of them never
having left their chairs since early Sunday

OF food and fire matter sent out they

Blaine Men Hilarious.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, ,June6.-The Blaine
managers are hilarious tonight, and main
tain that there is O serious break in the
South, and that Southern delegates are pre-
pairing to swing into line for Blaine.
Besides Tennessee, which came in in the

column.
There are about so votes involved in con-
tests, and Of this number they say the sub
committee ST the National Committee will
seat over 60 Blaine delegates in the tempo
rarv organization.
