sums Of British gold from the free trade
Cobden club. They were not worthy of
thought so far as the conduct Of the
government was concerned; they might
be considered lucky if they were allowed
to live here and pay bonuses, "bought
and paid for, to the protected patriots
running pauper mills
II was when they were in this state Of
mind that this political avalanche struck
them, and as a matter Of fact knocked
them silly. That is, sillier than they
were already.
The Philadelphia Press is fine sample
Of the protectionist. Yesterday that
paper contained statement concerning
the wool growing industry sent from
Washington, Pa, which was pathetic 1t
was:
II is probable that Washington county s
fame as wool growing section will
soon be a thing Of the past. Only few
years ago more than 100000 sheep were
kept within It's borders, and the annual
wool clip amounted 20 about 5000 600
pounds. When wool sold at an average
of 38 cents, this put about 81 600, ,OOO
into the pockets of Washington farmers
every summer. The competition In the
markets Of the world and the tinkering
with the tariff has brought the price
down 70 a cents a pound.
Free trade has not done this thing,
because the sleeps back has been pro
tected" and stimulated for thirty years
under the special wisdom and favor of
the Republican party. Meantime the
reduction in the price Of wool is not the
only calamity.
In 1860, Pennsylvania had over -four
millions Of sheep; in 1892, after all the
wisdom and energy the Republican party
has expended to promote the sheeplais
ing and the wool growing industries,
there is only one million sheep. and
wool sells for "a cents.
Granting then that the price of wool has
been reduced since the election of Mr..
Cleveland, which is not true, the protect
ionists would scarcely claim that the
three millions Of sheep had heard of that
calamity and wandered away or died

THIS is NO DEFENCE.

Mrs. Deacon, urged 1t Is said, by the
persistent advice Of alleged friends, has
finally made her statement. The reason
Of her phenomenal forbearance and the
superlative self restraint she exercised
in not giving it before, is not stated IL
seems not TO be necessary Her state
ment, now, is an ample explanation
why she has not explained before. Il
convinces one indeed, that she would
have done well not to have made It at
ALL
According to this, Mr. Deacon has
treated his wife, since the first weeks Of
their marriage, with brutality, which
Mrs Deacon says, she endured, hoping
10y forbearance TO subdue a temper that
at times bordered upon insanity.
Less than month after their marri.
age, while they we're in London, Mr.
Deacon became furious at his wife be-
cause her hair was not arranged to his
taste and knocked her down.
In February, 1880, five days after the
birth of their first child, at the Hotel
Brighton, Paris, Mr. Deacon left for
England, leaving his wife alone for ten
days, and upon his return, finding her
still an invalid, he went into a terrible
rage. His violence was such that the
physician and nurse had to interfere and
forbid him access to her room.
During eight years, it is alleged, Mr.
Deacon obliged his wife to lead vaga
bond existence In all the hotels wher,
they stopped he treated her like slave
forbiddng the servants to wait upon her
and not allowing a basket of wood to be
brought without his written order.
Undoubtedly many men are exacting
inconsiderate, unkind, perhaps brutal t,
their wives
But granting all that Mrs. Deacon
charges and more, can that exculpat,
her from persistent and adulterous re.
lations with Abeilleq Can the unfaith
funess unchastity and dishonor Of ,
wife be accepted as just reprisal upor
the husband for the most brutal con
duct that can be mentioned or i'm
aginedY
That is the plea Mrs. Deacon puts up
1t would not be worthy Of mention if il
were not the plea of many other womei
not so prominent, so rich, and not S,
needlessly shameless as Mrs Deacon ha
been in her disgraceful intrigue with {
man who professed to be her husband

TnE serious view that Mr. Cleveland
expressed concerning the task the
representatives Of the people, Demo
Gratis and Republicans alike, have before
them is fully warranted. There is a
fraudulent bought.and paid-for system
of tariff taxation 20 be revised and de-
creased, so that the government shall
have ample income while the people shall
not be robbed; there is not enough cur.
rency, new system must be agreed
upon 60 supply a retired currency; there
is deficit in tho treasury balances in
many appropriations have not baen mot
the expenditures exceed the in
come of the government. If the
country had been through an ex-
hausting war, we would have anticipated
aud been prepared for this condition, but
we have only had disastrous Republi-
can administration of a so called pious
and able man. These are bad fruits for
piety and ability. Referring to the
gravity of the situation of an empty
treasury and increasing expenditures,
Mr. Cleveland says:
If we merely profess TO enter upon ou
work, and If we make apparent endeavoi
60 do ii "a cover for seeking partisan
advantage, we shall invite contempt and
disgrace If we attempt TO discharg,
our duty TO the people without complet,
party harmony in patriotic action, ",
shall demonstrate our incompetency :
My belief In our principles anc
my faith In our party constitute my
trust that we shall answer the expecta
tions of our oountrymen aud shall rais'
high aloft the standard of true Democ
racy, to fix the gaze for many years e
come Of prosperous, happy and con
tented people.

HOUSE ROBBED OF JEWBLRY

The Residence of David spahr Entered
by burglars and Many Valuable Arti-
cles stolen.
The. house of David Spahr, 1895 Pine
street, was entered and robbed last Sat
urday, but the robbery did not become
known until yesterday A policeman
was informed of the robbery on Sunday,
and, as no action was taken by the police
department TO run down the thieves,
State Detectives McVey and Witsil were
apprised of the facts yesterday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Spahr went out of their
home at about z. 30 on that evening to
do some errands on Market street.
They returned about $50 and found a
lamp burning which had been put out
before going out and the kitchen door
was ajar
Examination proved that the house
had been ransacked and robbed. A
hatchet and screwdriver were secured
from am clubhouse and these instruments
the thieves used. They effected an
entrance by taking the screws from the
plate Of a bolt and prying open the
kitchen door Four marks are left on
the iamb of the door, where the screw
driver and hatchet had been used.
A gold bracelet, gold watch, chain,
set of earrings, gold ring and two gold
scarf pins, the property of Miss Ella
Rice, the sister of Mrs. Spahr; plush
wrap and fur cape belonging to Mrs.
Spahr and new overcoat, were the
articles stolen. The overcoat belonged
to a neighbor, James DAILY, whose wife
had gone on a visit TO friends out of the
city She had left the coat there so that
he could get it and this was lying on a
sofa with his other clothes. 1t was taken
and the other garments were untouched
The supposition is that some one
familiar with the house aided or was one
Of the thieving party. The light OF
noise in the house was not noticed by
any one outside.

ONE section of the Democratic plat

Legislation says:
We denounce the Republican legisla-
tion known as the sherman Act Of
1890 as a cowardly makeshift. fraught
with possibilities Of danger in the future
which should make all Of les supporters
as well as its author, anxious for It's
speedy repeal.
A few days ago Senator Sherman, the
author, not being on the stump and
having heard from the country,
particularly from Ohio, said that he
would move for the repeal of the
act in the next session of con
gress. thus confirming the denunciation
Of the Democratic platform Senator
Sherman attempts TO evade a direct ad
mission by saying that the Silver bin of
1890 has accomplished the purposes for
which It was enacted, but he does not
say what those purposes were or how
they have been accomplished Some
persons are unkind enough to suspect
that the act was sop TO the
silver states, which having turned
against the Republican party, tho sen.

House last night to a very small

artist and performed exquisitely.
The main features of the evening were
Aria, lies files de Cadiz, rendered in a
thoroughly artistic and superior manner
by Miss Kathrin Hike, soprano; "a Bed
time Song, by Mrs. Antonio H. Sawyer,
contralto; Schumanns exquisite and
pathetic song, "The Two Grenadiers,

world renowned pianist, Paderewski, and
rendered only indiiierently by the accom-.
panist, William c. Carl Mrs. Sawyer's
mannerisms were too monotonous to pass
