Terrific storm at iikesbarre.

WLKEsBARRE, February 19.-At 9
O'Clock To night a terrific blizzard swept
over this city and vicinity, accompanied
10y pe,ils of thunder and blind flashes of
lightning 1t has been showing all day
and in the evening the fury of the storm
increased.
The wind blowing forty miles an hour
from the southwest drove the snow be
fore IL in sheets. Pedestrians almost
within reach of their own doorS became
confused 10y the binding snow and had
serious difficulty in reaching places of
safety.
For fully half hour the blizzard ragged,
the mercury going down ten degrees.
The air seemed to be packed with flying
snow, the wind howled frightfully and
the lightning played about in danger
Gus manner. Residents of this city,
thinking that repetition of The great bliz-
zard was about to be- enacted, fortified
themselves as best they could and waited
nervOusly for the worst
Fortunately, however, the wind abated
and all fears of cyclone were allayed.
The wind worked havoc IN exposed places
about the city, where signs were torn
down, window glass shattered and tele-
phone and telegraph wires prostrated.
The storm paraly zed traffic on the cleo
tric roads, and all trains running into
this city are late

A REPUBLICAN journal comments up
on the fact that the four Caolnet ofhcers
thus far selected 10y Mr.. Cleveland
Carlisle, Gresham, Lamont and Bissell
are '.all poor men.
1t is well that it is so. There is need
of the example of men willing TO serve
their country and their party at some
sacrifice 10 themselves. 1t will be sor-
nv day for the Republic when plutocrats
self-seeking politicians, corporation
agents and merely rich men who seek
high place as "A decoration are permitted
to mOnopolize the public offices
The appointment of men or Inde-
pendent character, who are compara-
lively poor, to high offices Is likewise
needed as an example of simplicity,
frugality and prudence in public life
As Mr.. Cleveland said in his speech at
the Reform Club dinner: I'VE should
strive to rid ourselves and onr country
men of the idea that there is anything
shabby or disgraceful in economy,
whether in public or private life.
With the Treasury empty OF justly
available funds, as the result OF two
Billion Dollars Congresses aided and
abetted by recklessly extravagant ad-
ministration, it is time that the visible
Government of the country should be
free from the prevailing lavishness and
the vulgar rivalries of wealth. With a
President of simple tastes and Democratic
instincts and habits, and a Cabinet
made up of poor men, there will be a
healthy tone to public life at the capital
which it has often lacked.
The next President is a Democrat, and
the next Administration is to be Dem
ocratic, with all that this implies and re.
quires.
The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1893-02-24
The People VS.. the Machine.

Now ii is dawning upon this country that
Mr.. Cleveland does not rely upon the
machine in New York and will conduct
his Administration with disregard of
its demands. If he has digested and
perfected purpose of crushing a little
himself there will be neither surprise nor
grief. He has already taught Democrats
that the mighty nerve power of the peo-
pie can be called out to organize a
party after = better model. 1t is a for
tunate time for calling out the best ele-
ment of the Democracy. For years the
Republican party cannot be aggressive.
When Blaine smashed his silk hat in an
ger ut the folly of Republican leaders he
struck the hour OF Republican rout. No
other opposition to Democracy can soon
fight aggreSively. This Is the oppOr-
tunity for an assertion, from ocean to
ocean, of the higher impulses of the party
In the laSSitude of other parties an IN
ternal reorganization can he effected
with slight danger to the disciplinary force
of Democracy. If the strong, reputable,
dIsinterested Democrat will come forward
and enlist for the work. theCleveland ad-
ministation will help them and the peo-
pile will form in Irresistible battalions un-
der their leadership.-kdasas Cay Times.

0'Donnell Not Guiiiy.

PITTsBUEG, February 19.-Hugh
O'Donnell, the leader of the strikers dur
ing the Homestead riot, was found not
guilty 10y "a jury. He was accused OF
murder alleged to have been committed
during the long strike. The defense was
that, instead of melting the men to riot,
ne advised them To Withdraw and not
attack the Pinkertons.
This ends the Homestead trials until
the March term of court. II is possible
that all the other cases may go over un-
tlI the June term of court, and the
Homestead men now in Jail will be ad-
mitted to bail. The arguments for new
trials in the Dempsey and the anarchist
cases will be made on Monday, and then
Homestead will sink into comparative
obScurity for "A time.

''GET rid of the bummers, says Com
mander WeissarI of the q. A. X. This, in
decd should be the first step in the move
ment for pension reform. After they
shall have been gotten rid of much will
have been removed that has made the
system needlessly and scandalously eX-
pensive Then should be made to 90 all
pensioners whose circumstances do not
need the bounty, but who take it only
because the law allows them to receive
it. The removal of these mistakenly
pensioned classes should be accompanied
by the suppression of the pension agents,
whose connection with the system, as a
rule, has been one of its most perniciouS
features. Such reformatory measures as
these would relieve the people of much
of the intolerabie burden which the dem
agogy and cowardice of the politicians of
both parties in regard to the soldier vote
has imposed upon them.

An Electric tar ipset.

PORTLAND. ORE, FEBRUARY 16.-A
frightful accident occurred on the CITY
and Suburban electric railway Yesterday
afternoon, in which three persons We're
instantly killed and dozen seriously in
iurrd. The cars were going down hill
when the motOrman lost control of it,
and ii plunged down two blocks at "A ter
rife speed. When the ear reached the
curve at the bottom of the hill it left the
track and overturned. The moment
um was so great that in leaving the
track the ear was dashed to pieces.
There were forty-five passengers on the
car, among them being twenty young
people who constituted a graduating
class of Williams Avenue grammer
school. The dead are: J. q. Dennis.
aged 20; Bertram Dennis, his son, age
5, and J. T. Johnton.

ROBERT l.. WALKER, a prominent
banker of Youngstown, Ohio, made an
assignment Friday for the benefit of
his creditors. The failure causes a great
sensation for the reason that Governor
William Mckinley is on the paper of
Mr.. Walker for $40, 900 as indorser, and
will probably have every dollar of it to
pay. Governor Mckinley is compara-
lively poor man and this blow will
crush him financially. 1t is feared that
the Walker failure will precipitate
trouble for the Governor in other places
where large amounts are unsecured
beyond merely his signature to a
note.
