UNITED STATES Senator Blair, of New
Hampshire, has announced his willing
ness to serve his country for four years
as occupant of the White House. Sena-
tor Blair it was thought would support
Harrison in preference to any one even
himself, but Blair thinks he has as good
right to aspire to the presidency as any
one. BY the time the convention assem-
'b]es in this city Harrison's friends will
realize that grandpa's boy will not get
tbs coveted plum without struggle.
We will be much mistaken, however, if
Harrison is not re nominated.

THERE is an old saying and a true one
too. that "good luck is better than early
rising and this was never better exem-
plified than it was a few days ago in
Wichita, Kan. Here is what on Asso-
ciated Press dispatch from that city says
of Tom Costello's good luck: Tom Cos
tello, an -Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
locomotive engineer, was notified that he
was heir to 100000 left by his brother
Patrick. who recently died in Detroit,
Mich. The brothers were born in Ire
land and had not met for 10 years. Pat
rick went to Australia when a youth,
amassed fortune in the mines, moved
to America, and that was the last his
family knew of him. He was a sort OF
recluse and no one in Detroit knew any,
thing of his affairs or of any relatives.
Cariously enough, however, the probate
judge into whose hands the property fell
for administration had met Tom Costello,
of this place, in Colorado last year, and
surmising that there might possibly be
some connection, wrote to him on the
subject. All the necessary proofs of re-
lationship were soon furnished and Tom
Costello gets $4,000 in cash and some
fine business property in Detroit.

A BILL regulating the appointment OF
postmasters Of all classes, and fixing
their terms of Office at four years, was
introduced in congress few days ago.
We hope such a bill will pass. The Office
of postmaster should be removed rs far
as possible from the political arena, and
as long as post Office is conducted to
the satisfaction of it's patrons the incum-
bent should not be removed. tits wrong
to turn good men out of post Office to
make room for another because the lat
ter happens to be member of the party

EMPEROR WILLIAM, of Germany, is not
sleeping on bed of roses these days.
He is beginning to realize that the peo-
pie of his empire require more than or
ders; they also want work that pays.
Last Thursday some 5000 unemployed
men met and decided to make known
their grievances in very emphatic man.
ner. They met in one Of the public
squares in Berlin, and after listening to
a number of inhamatory speeches and
resolutions denouncing their employers,
attempted to make their way to the en-
peror's castle. So hostile did they ap-
pear that the police were obliged to pre-
vent them from approaching Williams
mansion, and bloody riot followed.
Several hundred were injured, and it was
not until many were carried away half
dead that the rioters reiterated. They
promise, however, to return with 100000
men very soon.

Gently pursued by the Republican press

got it's axe to grind, and it is turning the

The day is not far distant, when, if this
contemplate course pursued by the local

to oct representative men to accept the
office of mayor; and it will be shorter
time still before men in good standing in
this community will hesitate to become
aldermen. 1t is fast approaching that
now. and who is to blame for it: No man
who has money-making business of his
own is going to be candidate for any
city office when he knows that he is 60
ing to be abused and pounced upon by
the opposition press, no matter it his in
tentions are of the very best. The least
governed are the best governed, and it
the Republican press thinks it is helping

The earliest notice of amber we find
occurs in the Odyssey of Homer, where
''the gold necklace hung with bits of am
Der" is mentioned in the list of Jewels
offered by the Phenician traders to the
Queen Of Syria. In one Of the Greek
fables accounting for the origin Of amber
it is related that the sisters of Helide. on
seeing their brother hurled by the light
ing of Jove into the Eridanus were
transformed by the plying gods into
poplar trees and the tears they shed we're
dropped as amber on the shores OF the
river. No wonder that the lover OF the
"dudine'' likes amber for mouth-pieca.

SIR JOHN FRANKLIN,s EXPEDITION
Recalled by the Dying Confession OF an
Aged Indian.

WIYNIPEG. MANN, October T-The
Rev. E. Il. Young, a Methodist mission
airy in the far north for many years, states
that he was sent for by an aged dying In
dian, some time ago, who confessed before
his death that he accompanied one OF the
Sir John Franklin relief expeditions to the
northern seas. Supplies became very low,
and there was danger OF starva-
tion. Before deciding to return
the commander sent this In
dian and another across an island
TO look on the other side. They crossed
and discovered in the distance three masts
rising out Of the sea. They were nearly
exhausted and knowing that If they told
the commander Of their discovery he would
90 to the place they decided that it would
be best not TO tell him for they feared star
vation of the entire party in the event. Ac-
cordingly they returned having found
nothing. The next day the expedition
started on its return. The indians were
certain the masts belonged to one Of Frank
Inns vessels,

The Cleveland Electors Withdrawn by
Order of the National Committee and
Democrats Urged TO Vote For Weaver.
DENVER, Col, October q. The resigna-
uOnS OF the Cleveland Democratic electors
were hled with the Secretary Of State to-
day. Although IL has been for some days
generally understood that the Cleveland
electors were 10 be withdrawn, no official
action was taken until at the meeting last
night.
IL is also understood at the present time
that Jonn NJ. Taylors resignation as Con-
gressiOnal nominee will be forthcoming be-
fore election day. The ArapahOe county
Congressional and Senatorial ticket will
also be withdrawn, as will also portion of
the State ticket, but Mr.. Mupin, Guberna-
tOrial nominee, will remain in the race,
which will insure the election of Judge
Helm and probably the entire State Re-
publican ticket.
The withdrawal Of the Cleveland electors
caused no small amount OF dissensiOn in
Democratic ranks. 1t was not until after
Chairman McKinley's return from national
headquarters that the State committee
would consent, but after IL was put before
them with the endorsement of the National
Committee, strong partisans gave way TO
the will Of the majority
The opinion Of the political leaders of
both the Republican and Democratic parties
is that the move was made to defeat Har-
risOuin Colorado and TO carry the State
for Cleveland. A. ). Whitaker leading
Democrat of this city expressed his ap-
prOval of the course the straight Demo
cracy was taking in withdrawing Cleve-
land electors. "All we want" he said sis
TO keep Harrison from carrying the State.

though Cleveland got IT, All good Demo

Succeeds to the Titles and Estates That
Would Have Been Harry Van 3ilbank's
LONDON, October 27.-The death OF Har-
ry Van Milbank, the eldest son Of Freder-
ick Aclom Milbank, the succession 10 the
Baronetcy falls TO Powlett Mllbank, Sir
Frederick's second son, who does not re-
semble his dead brother in any way. AS an
evidence Of this it can be stated that Pow
lett has agreed TO contest the Parliamen-
tary district of Radnor in the conservative
interest at the next election.
Harry Milbank had no liking for any oc-
cupation that would take him for a single
moment from what he called the pleasures
of life His death has recalled 10 a certain
circle many stories Of his career as an
amorist and duelist. He hid from public
knowledge his association with the notori-
Gus Mabel Gray. He never said much
about his marriage 10 Alice, the widow Of
Edward Belleroche, but he had been known
TO admit the facts about his famous duels
with the husband Of lady he had COM
promised, her brother and her brother-in-
law, all of whom fell victims 10 his deadly
weapon.
IL was his marriage 10 Madame Belle
roche and not his other failings that caused
the late Duke Of Cleveland to disinherit
him.
Mr.. Powlett MilbaDk was born in 1852,
four years after the birth Of Harry Mil
bank. In 1875 he married Edith, daughter
OF Sir Richard Green Price, and has four
children, one son and three daughters.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, October 27.-The reign
of law!essness broke out with greater force
than ever last night. About $50 O'CLOCK,
two non-union men, ID. W. Fy0ck and Jonn
Horrer, were going down Dickson street,
one with keg of beer on his shoulder, and
when the Pittsburg, Mcheesport and
Youghiogheny railroad was reached they
were confronted by several strikers, who
applied approbrious epithets, and at
the same time pushing the keg OF
beer from his shoulder. The
fellow was in the act Of stooping down 10
pick up the keg when he was struck with
such force as TO fall TO his knees. he then
whipped out revolver and fired at his as
sailants, the bullet striking a boy named
George Clark in the calf Of the leg. The
wounded lad was Immediately picked up
and carried TO the Office Of DR.. Purman,
who dressed his injuries, after which he
was removed 10 his home. The wounded
lad belongs TO Homestead.
Fyock, who did the shooting. was i'm
meGiately arrested, and is now IL the lock-
up awaiting a hearing this aftern oon. The
belief of the people here is that the sltua-
tion has assumed a serious aspect, and un-
less Sheriff McCleary sends enough depu-
ties to preserve the peace, steps Of some
kind will be taken by the citizens TO save
the town from the lawless element.
Thomas j. Crawford, President OF the
Advisory Board. and also other members
of the Board, have been using extra efforts
TO find out who are engaged in the many
lawless acts. and IL resulted last night In
the residence of Mr.. Crawford being stoned
and his wife badly frightened by the law

Frank Milliken, who drives wagon for
Suhuchman & Co., was waylaid on Eighth
avenue about IL o'clock last night, and his
face badly dishgured for the present. He
failed 70 recognize his assailants in the
dark Mr. Milliken has been moving non
union men to different parts of tho town.
which was doubtless the cause of the beat
ing he received.
Work at the steel works still continue as
heretofore, no change OF any kind having
occurred which is the least hopeful 10 the
locked-out men. Every good citizen here
declares that the many disturbances on the
street is working great injury 10 the cause
OF the strikers, and unless halt Is called
soon the Governor will be appealed TO as a
last resort.

PITTsBURG, PA, October 27.-The run to

dences of respect on the part Of the people
residing along the route
All the people seemed inspired with the
sadness Of the occasion. The President
and other mourners remained quietly in
their car, the curtains Of which were
drawn.
1t was a singular coincidence that the
compartment car, Ideal. attached 10 the
funeral train had also formed part Of the
train in which the President made his cele-
brated tour through the South and West in
the spring of 1891.
At Altoona, a box Of beautiful flowers
was handed on the train with the comph'
ments of Mr.. and Mrs. Theo n. Ely.
The train made no more stops of any con-
sequence until the arrived here.
There was a slight delay on the run be-
cause of a hot box on the tender of the en-
CINE, but the train arrived at Plttsburg at
40 o'clock and was greeted by large
throng of people.
The President and family retired for the
night. At 500 the train pulled out for the
