drens clothes were en>eloped in flames.
The youngest, boy, was SO severely
burnt that he died in two hours after
wards. The second child was also
badly injured, the eldest escaping with a
slight scorching.

Against the Economics.

The commonwealth OF Pennsylvania mas
entered the legal battle FOR the possession of
the immense wealth of the Economic So
eiety. The matter is now in the hands of
Attorney General Hensel and is being prose
cuted by the best legal talent of the Ale
gheny and Beaver county bars. The pro-
ceedings will be instituted at once and will
be far reaching in its results. If successful
it will involve the absolute surrender Of all
the property Of the Economite society to the
state. 1t viii be proceeding in eschest
based on established precedent Of eminent
legal authority and an act of assembly for
bidding the conduct Of societies where prin-
eiples are at variance with public custom
and against the spirit Of the constitution.
The archives have been searched and il is
claimed sufficient authority has been OBJ
tanned TO disrupt the celibate community
and turn its goods and chattels in to th estate
treasury.
The act of assembly making it unlawful
for churches and religious secis TO bold
property in excess Of a specified amount will
also be brought into the case and used as
one OF the strong points on the plaintiff
side of the case. The proceedings have no

On the contrary, the two battles viii be
fought on entirely different lines. the issues

case would necessarily mean the failure of
the prosecution on behalf of the malcon-
tents ofthe society.

cnanra IN the Pension Policy.


WAsHseT0x. Feb. s--A radical change
in the pension policy Is proposed The
change will be backed bg majority Of the
committee on appropriations. and viii be
fought tooth and nail By the Republican
minority assisted by Representative Bol-
man. chairman Of the COMMITTEES. who is
ordinarily the most strenuous advocate in
the committee Of reduction Of expendi-
lures
The proposed change hiss in view a con-
siderable reduction Of the pension rolls. aud
OF the enormous amount now paid out for
pensions. by purging the list Of names OF
those now on il, by making more difficult
the procurement Of a pension under the
laws; and BY turning over the whole pen
sion bnrean to the war department. Among
the amendments which viii be offered 10
the bill Is one providing that hereafter no
widow. who married soldier OF the late
war shall receive pension, where she msr-
ried the soldier more than five years after
his discharge. thus making it apply not only
to the war OF the rebellion, but 70 Indian
and all other wars
Another amendment excludes from pen
sions under the disability act. all parsons
not disabled from manual labor and who
are in receipt Of an income Of more than
500 year.
On motion Of Representative Nutchler, of
Pennsylvania, a new amendment was adopt
ed providing that the rating Of pensions
for the same class of pensioners for like dis
abilities shall be uniform. and that all pen
sions heretofore or hereafter granted in pur-
suance Of the dependent and disability act,
shall be rated upon the inability of the pen
sioner to earn living By manLal labor"
The object Of this amendment is to correct
inequalities which have arisen in the ad-
ministrstion of the laws.

THERE Is no question now that the
Democrats will control the United States
Senate after March 4. That body viii
contain fige Populists who have already
announced that they will act with the
Democrats in effecting an organization
This alliance viii place the Republicans
in tie minority and give the Democrats,
for the frst time in over thirty years,
complete ascendency in legislation at the
federal capital. While this prospect is
to be deplored, on account Of the grave
interests which are threatened, It viii do
away with mixed responsibility, for the
course Of political events at Washington.
Heretofore the Republicans have retain
ed their supremacy in the upper branch
Of Congress, and their adyersaries have
been able to hold them jointly accounta-
bic with themselves for the legislation
which was enacted. This condition will
no longer exist after the Inauguration Of
slr. Cleveland. The power with which
the Democrats will be invested viii be
tremendous, and in view Of the radical
reforms" they propose TO undertake, to-
gether with the soeialistic ysgaries with
which their allies are affected, it is not
strange that the nation awaits the COM
ing wholesale change with dread What
ever mischieffollows there viii be no
question as TO where the blame for it
lies.

A Protectorate Already.
From nex y Press.

From the \. Y. Press.
Hawaii has already been brought un-
der American control. United States
Minister Stevens. with the support Of
Captain Wiltse, Of the cruiser Boston,
and the approval Of the provisional an-
thorities, has declared formal protecto-
rate over the islands pending negotia-
tions at Washington. The stars ant
stripes are floating over Honolulu, and
the marines Of the Boston, in conjunc-
ton with the soldiers Of the Provisional
Government, are employed in enforcing
order in that city.
The change in the condition Of affairs
is hardly less radical than the change
which deposed the corrupt and despotic
native Queen and established tempo
rary government composed Of the con-
servative and substantial residents Of the
islands. Minister Stevens is a man Of
tiTmness, ssgacity and patriotism. a
close friend Of Mr. Blaine, he was ap-
pointed D represent the United States at
Hawaii in order TO assure the full main
tenance Of American rights in the Arch
ipelsgo. IL Is safe to assume that he had
ample justification for his action. There
is no reason 10 doubt the statement that
the peace Of the islands was threatened
by the alliance between the native ad-
herents OF the dethroned Queen and a
cahal Of INSCRIPTIONS Europeans who
were bent on obstructing the annexation
Of Hawaii TO the United Ststes. Mr.. Ste
vens' course seems 10 have been necessa-
~ if American supremacy was TO be
maintained and disorder and bloodshed
prevented.
The proclamation of q protectorate
simplifes matters greatly. It Is a notice
served on all the rest Of the world that
the United States proposes to allow no
interference from outside parties in its
dealings with Hawaii; sn announce
ment thai American interests are para
mount in the stronghold of the North
Pacific, and that American rights win be
unhineLingly upheld. The raising of
the American flag at Honolulu should
definitely settle the annexation ques-
ton. The emblem OF American soveT-
eighty should not b. lowered. Hawaii
is now under the protection Of the flag Of
the United States. That protection should
not be Withdrawn. No time should be
lost at Washington in framing legisla-
ton that viii make Hawaii America n
territory.

ture provides for the appointment of county
superintendent of roads by the courts of each

commissioners, in conjunction with the
county superintendent of roads, are to con

" The boards OF road directors shall meet
at such times and places as may be necessary
and agreed upon. examine and investigate
the location and condition of the public
roads throughout their several counties, di-
vide the same into two classes to be known
as highways and roads" taking into con-
sideration the natural location of the roads
the general necessities OF the people aud the
facilities for perfectiug and keeping in repair
such highways and roads with a view TO
the probable future condition and require
ments for the accommodation of the public,
and shall also act as board Of viewers for
the location and vacation Of highways and
roads under the provisions OF existing laws
governing such matters"
These road Commissioners with the town
ship auditors are to fix the tax levy. These
taxes are supposed to be paid in cash, but it
is provided that any taxable person may

ing cash for the same in which case the super

ege Of appointing assistant supervisors One

provided that state appropriation be paid

forced the Pcpuiisis elected their Bomi-
nee, Judge Allen, by good round vote.

This was the logical outcome Of the sit

publicans to go over TO them and help
elect J Sterling Morton. or some such
dyed in-the-wool Bourbon, and the Re-
publicans On the other hand, tried to get
fbe Democrats TO help them elect Ir.

Republicans stood by their guns faith
