THE bright side of situation is hard
to see when one is underneath it.
A ROYAL TRAIN.

The Sort of Cars Which Are to BE Provided
For the Cars Convenience.
A new imperial train for the czar of
Russia is at present being built at the
Alexandrowski wagon manufactory a,
st. Petersburg. 1t consists of IL car
riages, of which one is reserved for the
railway officials, kitchen carriage and
two luggage vans. With the exception
of wheels and the axles, which have
been supplied by Krupp, at Essen. the
whole of the material is of Russian or
,gin and manufacture. By means of a
very powerful automatic brake the
train can be brought to standstill in a
minimum OF time from every one of the
carriages. The interior of the carriages
is appointed with much taste. The win
dows are different on both sides. The
side with the corridor has windows of a
uniform size, while the windows on the
other side are made in accordance with
the requirements Of the various COM
partmepts The passages between the
various cars are vestibuled.

the carriages of the grand dukes, etc.
The carriages will be sent on a trial
trip to Copenhagen. Some of them have
already been sent to Vienna aud back.

provisions of the bill. The Republican
members of the Senate Committee on
finance have already talked over the
situation and mapped out a plan OF
procedure when the bill shall have been
completed. 1t was determined to have
the bill read and considered in COM
mittee. 1t is the determination of the
Democratic members to have the bill
Immediately reported, but the minority
will stoutly resist that course.
All that is wanted is fair play. The
minority will insist upon consideration.
since that will be necessary to enable il
to formulate minority report. The
majority, it has been suggested, can re-
port the bill without any regard to what
the other side wants. but this is by no
means certain. The minority has antic-
mated such action and has determined
to defeat any attempt to rush the bill
through. This they can do by refusing
to observe pairs in the committee. As
long as Senators Vance and Harris are
absent the Democrats would have but
four votes in committee. Itwas asserted
that both Senators Mcpherson and Mills
would not be allowed to vote, and
whichever one appeared would be rec
ognized, but no proxy wonld be allowed
for either Harris or Vance.
The probabilities are that the Repub-
lican members will get their rights by
firmly insisting upon them. 1t is but
lust and proper that the bill should be
considered sufficiently to enable the
minority to properly understand it. The
majority does not seem to be so much
concerned about understanding the bill
as to get it passed. The purpose is to
make it law and leave the country to
learn what it is through practical ex-
perience of its operations. On the other
hand, the Republicans desire to know
and to inform the country what the
effects of the bill are likely to be, and in
that way help to defeat those provisions
which may be most detrimental to the
public interests. Having spent almost
a month in trying to get the bill in sat-
isfactory shape for its own party, the
majority should not object to giving the
other side day or two to expose the
principal defects in the measure. The
lpassage of the bill will not be facilitated
by taking snap judgment on the
minority.

BECAME A THIEF WHILE INSANE.
Surprising Disclosures Follow the RetuI
nfn En.a.-iat,s

Surprising Disclosures Follow the Return
of a Convict's Reason.
Three years of imprisonment have
lifted the clod from the mind of a man
supposed to be common horse thief,
but who is now revealed as DR.. Herbert
Spencer. formerly prosperous London
physician. As climax to his strange
adventure the board of pardons will be
at once petitioned for his release from
the eastern penitentiary in Philadelphia.
On Sept. %, 1891, three horses were
stolen from the stable of g. w. Young
man in this city The thief was easily
tracked and was captured at Mount
Pleasant, Pa. In effecting his capture
an officer was shot in the hip and an
other was wounded in the arm. The
horse thief had gunshot wound in the
side. and one arm was nearly torn from
the socket. He was brought back to
Williansport and locked in the county
jail While in prison he made half a
dozen attempts to end his life. He was
tried in December, 1891. under the
name of Herbert Spencer Darwin, was
convicted and sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for 3 years. Before sentence
was pronounced it was pretty conclu-
sively shown that at the time of his
trial the man was insane. He has spent
over two years in prison, and until the
first of the present year he showed no
change in his character or actions.
Then came "A sudden and startling de-
velopment. The condemned thief, who
had shown so many signs of insanity
and whose bungling attempt to steal
three holse was easily overthrown,
showed signs of returning reason.
Quickly these signs multiplied, and now
the prisoner, seemingly perfectly ra-
tional man, announces his identity. He
is not Herbert Spencer Darwin, but DR..
Herbert Spencer. He came to this coun-
try in 1890 with So. 900 in cash. He in
tended to locate in the United States.
Soon after his arrival his mind be-
came a blank, and he recalls nothing
that has happened the meanwhile
Through the penitentiary officials he
learned where he had been tried and
convicted Sufficient proof has been
gathered. il is asserted, to establish the
truthfulness of DR.. Spencer claims that
he was insane when he stole the horses
and nearly ever since. Friends will use
every effort possible to have the unfortu-
nate prisoner set free. Williamsport

THE rumor that the late special elec-
tions had something to do with President
Cleveland's trip down the Potomac in
search of rest is not generally credited
Doubtless the President pities the ignor-
ance of people who will vote for a
robber tariff, but knowing that his po-
sition is right, because he never is wrong,
it is not thought that he sought any
further relief than such as was obtained
through the imprecation "dash the

In Pittsburgh Roman Catholic nuns
have been admitted as teachers to one
of the public schools and the children
of Catholic parents have left the
parochial school and entered the public
school. This is an experiment which
will be watched with interest since il
may prove solution of the school
question which is a vexing one in many
cities. The nuns are not allowed to
teach any creed, but are expected to con-
form to the system of on-sectarianism
in our schools. A question has arisen
as to whether the nuns should be allowed
to wear their peculiar garb, and this is
provoking a good deal of discussion.

THAT there will be no dearth of candi-

THAT there will be no dearth of candi-
dates for congressional honors in this
district is evidenced by the number OF
men who are getting themselves into
position to discover how earnest is the
demand for their candidacy. Already
Jefferson county has discovered within
her borders nearly a halfdozen possible
candidates. Among these are ex-Gov.
Richards, Representative Taylor, Prof.
/. F. Patterson, and J. J. Gill. Harrison
county, too, never lets slide an opportu
nity, and it is probable that Hon. d. A.
Hollingsworth will again be candidate.
1t is also stated that c. NJ. Hogg, now
in the Ohio Senate, himself thinks that
a congressional seat is about his size.
Carroll county has not yet spoken but
it is altogether probable that some con-
gressional timber will be found within
her borders, for they have some good
men up there. Monroe county will likely
be in a position to vote for whom she
pleases. Belmont county can be relied
upon to have one or more, probably
more, candidates and divided delega-
tion. A number of gentlemen in Bel
mont would esteem highly the honor of
a nomination and any one of them
would make good Congressman, but
their innate diffidence and modesty has
so far deferred all from openly declaring
themselves. However, several names
are being mentioned, among whom are
J. W. Hollingsworth, ]. W, Nichols and
A. T. McKelvey. Col. Poorman is also
quoted as saying that he would accept a
nomination, but would not seek it.
Some of the gentlemen mentioned may
not enter the field, but it is safe to
assert that Belmont county's interests
will be consulted when it comes to
choosing candidate.

Facts Worth Knowing.

In all diseases of the nasal mucus
membrane the remedy used must be
non-irritating. Nothing satisfactory can
be accomplished with douches, snuffs,
powders or astringents, because they are
irritating, do not thoroughly reach the
affected surfaces and should be aban-
doned as worse than failures. A multi
tude of persons who had for years borne
all the worry and pain that catarrh can
infiict testify to radical and permanent

THE KAISER AND DIVINE RIGHT.
New York Press.
The German Emperor has again been
talking about his divine right to the
crown, his sole responsibility to the
Almighty, and so forth. If any ruler
has an excuse for talking that way it is
the sovereign of Prussia, for no other
state owes so much to its rulers as
Prussia to the Hohenzollerns. They
virtually created Prussia, lifting it up
by their energies and efforts from an in
significant principality to be the chief
state of Northern Germany, and finally
the leader of all Germany. The family
is to-day the most distinguished of
reigning houses, and has weathered
alike foreign conquest and domestic
revolution. 1t is now at the head OF
the German Empire, the greatest mill
tary power of modern times. The young
man who has succeeded to all these
honors may be pardoned for exhibitin G
some pride in his ancestry and exagger-
ated notions of his destiny.
| But it is too far advanced in the ages
for even the chief of the Hohenzollerns
to talk about the divine right of kings
That doctrine has been exploded these
many years. 1t received severe shock
! when Charles |. went to the scaffold,
and a severer shock, about century ago,
when Louis XVI. suffered a similar
fate. The American Declaration of
Independence was direct contradiction
and defiance of the divine right doctrine,
and the result was vindication of the
American people. The light of liberty
has spread throughout the world from
the beacon that blazed on American
shores. and only among the ignorant
and uncivilized does the myth of royalty
by divine right any longer find believers.
1t is not by divine right that Kaiser
Wilhelm is ruler of Prussia, but by the
right of subservient aristocracy and
of his splendidly drilled and obedient
battalions, stand ready to subdue any
attempt to assert the rights of the
people.
