The old superstition about the anatomy
of woman being so planned for some mys-
terious reason that she cannot throw
straight is revived by the fact that both Mr..
Gladstone and Prince Bismarck have been
hit in the eye by missiles projected into the
atmosphere by the fair hands Of woman.
There was variety in the projectiles, that in
the case of the English statesman being q
piece of gingerbread, while the man of blood
and iron was socked by a bouquet. But we
fail to see that bad craftsmanship is proved
in these cases. Both statesmen are opposed
to woman suffrage and petricoat influence
in politics, while it is possible that the
shots evinced an unsupported accuracy.

AN IRISH PATRIOT DYING.
Injuries to Health, Sustained in an English
Dungeon. Ia Killing Aarkins.

Injuries to Health, Sustained in an English
Dungeon, Is Killing Harkins.
PHILADELPHIA, July 3.-tSpecidL michael
Harkins, the young Irish patriot, who was
released from the Portland prison, England,
last August, is at the point Of death at his
home in this city. Harkins, with a number
of others, among them young DR.. Thomas
Gallagher, of Brooklyn, were sentenced to
terms OF imprisonment, ranging from Is
years to life, on suspicion of having
been implicated in a dynamite plot against
the Queens life during the celebration OF her
jubilee. Harkins, who was released on ac-
count of shattered health, brought about by
the terrible treatment OF the Irish prisoners
in English dungeons, has grown gradually
worse since his arrival home last fall and
his physicians declare that it will not be
many days before the Irish historian can
write the name of Michael Larkins among
the long list o: Irish patriots who suffered
and died for their country.
When he heard a few days ago that Con-
gressman McAleer had introduced into Con-
gress q resoluu n, requesting the Depart
ment of State to investigate the case of DR..
Gallagher, who he declared is the worst
treated man in the English prisons, lie re-
joiced greatly, and constantly prays that his
lite may be spared him until he can see
"bravo and good earted Tom Gallagher q
free man." His story of the treatment OF
Gallagher, who was q prisoner with
him, Is only equaleh by that OF the Russian
political exiles.

PITTsBuRG. MONDAY. JULY4 1892.
TWELVE PAGES
THE NATIONAL BIRTHDAY.

Independence Day in Pittsburg has been
heralded by few preliminary and Spora-
die outbursts of firecrackers and rockets,
on the part of the impatient small boy,
and by the energy of the Mayor in
summoning the masses of Pittsburg to
the old-fashioned and patriotic celebration
of the day at Schenley Park The COM
paratively mild manifestations of the
former class may mean that the day is to
be observed somewhat less suiphurously
than usual, or that the small boy is saving
himself and his explosives for grand
fusillade to-day. The efforts of the Mayor
and his coadjutors leave no doubt that If
the weather smiles on the plan, the popu-
lation of Pittshurg will enjoy the day in
the city's pleasure ground to an extent
unknown heretofore.
The plan of combining the appropriate
celebration of the day with popular fete
in the beautiful and picturesque park Of
the city has already been properly estab-
lished in the public favor. But the park
itself presents attractions for the
gathering of population for out
door pleasures, such as have not
existed before While the work OF
establishment will 90 on for years, the
work of the past year has brought its
walks, drives and imposing scenery to a
stage which presents the attractions of
completed park. The tens of thousands
who go out there to-day will at once drink
in the volumes of patriotism and the fresh
air of breezy hills and wooded wales; will
simultaneously listen to the weA-turned
periods of oratory and look upon far
reaching views and picturesque hollows.
Both together present an ideal combina-
ton of celebrating a great anniversary
with the individual enjoyment of scenery,
air and exercise, such as can be had in few
other cities.
With the permissible hope that the rains
of Saturday night and Sunday were pre-
paratory to clear and cool weather to-day,
we may expect such celebration at
Schenley Park as Pittsburg has not
seen before. Half the population of Pitts
burg may be expected to avail itself of the
pleasures of the day, and will come home
enthusiastic over Pittsburg's constantly
enhancing acquisition in its new parks.

A TOT IN A SWAMP,
She Wandered Away From Home and Was
Found Hanging on . Bush.

She Wandered Away From Home and Was
Found Hanging on Bush.
BRIDeEroN, N. j., July 3.-The 6-year-old
child of Lazarus Barofsky, of Carmel, who
wandered from its home, was found yester7
day afternoon by four of the searchers id
Lebanon swamp, about one mile from home.
A faint sound was heard by one of the
party just about the time the searching
party were about to give up the child for
dead. Finally the child was found hanging
over bush and 1ain6ly uttering a sound.
There were at least two feet of water sur
rounding it.
The party who rushed to the rescue found
q terrible spectacle. Tke bushes within the
child's reach hrd been gnawed and eaten,
and the clothes were torn from the little
one, while blood streamed from the wounds
and gashes on its body and legs. The skin
and flesh on its legs were torn of, its hands
being badly lacerated and shrunken. The
child had been lost four days. and had been
out in two heavy thunder showers. Hun
dreds OF people came from tar anC near to
see the child, and it's parents were overcome
with Joy at the finding of their CHILD. The
doctor has grave doubts of the thild's re-
covery, tearing pneumonia.

ABANDONING JACKsoN's STAND.

In view of that extraordinary declara-
ton of the Democratic party in conven-
ton assembled that it is unconstitutional
TO levy tariff duties with any other pur-
pose in view than the raising of revenue,
it is interesting to refer to what Democratic
authority has said in the past The mes
sage of President Andrew Jackson to Con-
gress in 1880, contains the following very
interesting remarks on that question:
The object of the tariff is objected to by
some as unconstitutional; and 1t is consid-
cred by almost all as defective in many of
its parts.
The power to impose duties on imports
originally belonged to the several States
The right TO adjust those duties with view
to the encouragement of domestic branches
of industry is so completely identical with
that power that it is difficult to suppose the
existence of the one without the other.
The States have delegated their authority
over imports to the General Government,
without limitation or restriction, saving
the very inconsiderable reservation
relating to their inspection laws. This
authority having entirely passed from
the States, the right to exercise it for the
purpose OF protection does not exist in
them; and consequently If it be not pos
sessed by the general Government it must
be extinct. Our political system would thus
present the anomaly of people stripped OF
the right to foster their own industry and to
counteract the most selfish and destructive
policy which might be adopted by foreign
nations. This surely cannot be the case;
this indispensable power thus surrendered
by the States, must be within the scope of the
authority on the subject expressly delegated
to Congress.
In this conclusion am confirmed as we'll
by the opinions of Presidents Washington,
jefferson, Madison and Monroe, who have
each repeatedly recommended the exercise
of this right under the Constitution, as by
the uniform practice of Congress, the con-
tinued acquiescence OF the States, and the
general understanding of the people.
Andrew jackson is referred to to-day as
the patron saint and type of pure Demo-
cracy, including the principle that the
offices are among the spoils of victory.
There may be some significance in the
fact that the observance Of Jackson's day

THROWING 1T INTO CONGRESS.

The possibility that the Peoples party
movement may 60 to the extent of throw
ing the election of President and Vice
President into Congress, and the certainty
that such a diversion would really elect
Mr.. Cleveland, have been duly discussed
in these columns. 1t is further interest
ing development of that possibility that
it would with equal certainty elect the Re-
publican candidate for Vice President,
Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, and that the curious
and heretofore unprecedented spectacle
would be presented of the election of the
President and Vice President both from
the same State.
The vote in the House on President will
be by States; and as the Democrats have
a majority in thirty out of the forty-four
State delegations in the House the cleo
ton of Cleveland, if the Third party
should succeed in preventing an election
by the electoral vote, would be moral
certainty. The vote on Vice President in
the Senate is by individuals, a ma
jority of the whole body being
required, and the vote being con-
fined to the two leading names in the
electoral vote. Forty-fve votes are there
fore required to elect a Vice Pres
ident; and the Republicans have Al
votes in the Senate. In the remote con-
tingency, therefore, of the election being
thrown into Congress, the next President
and Vice President, in all human pro ba-
bility, would be Grover Cleveland and
Whitelaw Reid, both of New York.
There is an impression that the Consttu-
ton forbids the election of a President and
Vice President from the same State. That
may have been the purpose; but the actual
prohibition is only that the electors of any
State shall not vote for more than one of
the candida ties who is can inhabitant of
the same State with themselves. % It has
heretofore been recognized that the letter
of the Constitution might be observed and
yet the President and Vice President
taken from the same State, if party was
certain enough of a majorityto to permit the
State thus favored to throw away its vote
on Vice President and trust to the other
States to elect the candidate. Noparty has
yet been found willing to take that chance;
but in the contingency contemplated here
we have new way Of reaching the unex-
pected result OF candidates of opposing
parties being elected from the same State
by the Congressional vote.
1t is no difficulty to predict that il
third party should produce that extraor-
binary mixture of results, it would arouse
a very active demand for the election Of

BY the ruling of the Worlds Fair Director
foreign exhibitors will be permitted to pla-
card their exhibits with the price of articles
at the place of manufacture and the prices
at Chicago, both including and excluding
the customs duty. As the PHILADELPHIA
LeGger says: "It would be foolish for pro-
tectionists to object to it, provided the true
prices are given" But it might be we'll for
domestic manufacturers to make ample
exhibits of the same classes of goods Of
domestic manufacture, with the prices
attached so as to show what has been done
by protection.

was born in PittsburR in 1885. He was the son Of
the Rev. David Kammerer. now Of Wooster, Ohio,
but formerly of Pittsburg, and who for almost
seventy years has been clergyman of the German
Reformed Church. Mr.. Kammerer removed with
his parents to Onio. but when very young re-
turned to Pittsburg and entered the boot and shoe
house of his brother-in-law William Z. Schmertz
with whom he remained until the failure of the
firm last year. During his forty-three years of
connection with this business he saw Pittsburg
grow from a coun:ry town to great city. He was
an ardent Republican, but in war time was pre-
vented by his health from becoming a soldier,
although one Of the first members of the famous
Marion Guards, the home company commanded
first nv, General Bowman Sweitzer. Mr.. Kam-
merer was man of quiet and retiring tastes and
of most domestic and lovable character. His ac-

A NEW POLITICAL GLUE.

The Jewish Citizens of the First and
recond Organize for Recognition.
The Cosmopolitan Club was organized
last night at Turner hall with fifty mem
bers. The Cosmopolitan is a political club,
aud It's object is to take part in local poll
ties, both county and municipal.
1t is composed Of the Jewish citizens of
the First and Second districts. The officers
elected we're:
Presldent-Isadore Cohen.
Vice President-Morris Brody.
Treasurer-Msx Bluestein.
Secrstary-Da id Davis.
Marshall. Price.
The club will meet once a week and ex-
poets soon to have a membership of over
200.
The objects of the formation of the club
as stated by the members ara independence
and pollt cal representation. They do not
propose TO be controlled any longer by anv
one man or to allow their votes to be bar
tered or traded by any boss or ring.
They will cast their votes for the candi-
date they may select on the score Of merit
only, without regard to race or religion.
Another thing is that they want recogni-
ton. They claim that the Jewish citizens
of the First and Second districts as a GLASS
have never been given recognition politically
IN the city and one of the objects of the
club is to see that they receive this recogni-
ton. They will not be voted like sheep any
longer.
The organization Of the COSMOPOLITAN
Club looks like revolt from the ring which
has always controlled the Second district.
The members say that while they NAV sup
port Col. Russell for Office individually, he
cannot control their votes any further and
upon all questions they will be absolutely
independent.
