There will be no ..disorganiziug fire.
brands" flung by any genuine Demo-
crat at the coming State Convention.
The principle of the Democratic party
as to silver and tariff will be re-afflrm-
ed. The last bond issue should be de-
nounced as a barefaced swindle. The
attempted emasculation of the Wilson
bill will be condemned. and the ira
ditions and policies that are coeval
with the party will be retLrned to.
The present Mugwump Republican Ad-
ministration should be condemned and
our congressional delegation be COM
mended.
What the Republican contingent that
has wormed itself into the councils of
the party in this State may do. no one
can tell. outside of its trusted lieuten-
ants. 1t is quite possible that it will
attempt to have the administration en-
dorsed, or, failing in that, endeavor to
have the convention refuse to endorse
our congressional delegation. Either
course will be equally bad. The only
thing for the Democracy of this State to
do is to re-affirm it's platform of ninety
two, get back to first principles and
stay there, regardless of consequences.
The Missouri Convention will have no
small effect upon our national politics.
Let the rank and file of the party see to
it that they are fairly represented for
once. Let the hose be turned on the
acolytes of the Shylocks and the COR
porations. Drown the man who at
tempts to ..fling flrebrand" at a
Democratic principle, no matter under
what flag he sails.

THE morality of politics is not diff
ferent from morality in the ordinary
affairs of life. and a course of action
that would be CONDEMNED in a private
individual will be certain to be con-
demned in men of public affairs. This
government is based upon the idea that
the people are to rule, and they ex-
press their will through the ballot-box.
Anything that sets aside their express
ed will is usurpation and has a tend
ency to bring about chaos and revolu-
tion. Congress has no more right to
cheat constituency out of its express
ed will by unseating a member upon a
technicality, who has been fairly elect

THE FUTURE OF FARMING.

The so called bonanza wheat farms of the
Northwest and the big farms of the Cali
fornia valleys grew out of transient condi-
tions that no longer prevail-the California
farms out Of the old Spanish land grants and
the Minnesota and Dakota farms out of the
Congressional grants to railroads The
history of the Northwestern big farms is that
the land was purchased from the railroad
companies with deprecated stock and cost
originally about one dollar per acre, The
low price of wheat and the higher price OF
land have changed the whole aspect of
large farming. There is no bonanza in
the big farm now; it makes but a
moderate profit on the capital it represen is
in average crop years, and with bad crop
it barely pays running expenses It requires
as careful management as factory. be-
heve that we are now in a transition period
in agriculture. The influence of machinery
has been fully exerted There are no more
fertile lands on the globe to be conquered by
civilization and to increase the food supply
With growth of population will come better
prices for farm products. Farm life will
become more attractive. The tendency to
large farms will be checked. A hundred
acres, even with exclusive grain farming,
will afford d good living to a family. Better
times for American agriculture are not far

POISONOUS SNAKES.

A monarch among poisonous snakes is the
enormous hamadryas which grows to be as
much as fourteen feet in length, and is SO
fierce that it will sometimes attack and even
chase any one that ventures near its nest.
Native snake-char1ners, who will handle the
fiercest cobras fearlessly, are usually loath
to touch a hamadryas, though have occa-
sionally seen large specimen Of this ven
omous reptile in their bags. 1t lays its eggs
in heap of decaying leaves, which it col
lects for the purpose, and sits on the top to
keep off intruders. A road through the
jungle will sometimes be closed against
all comers by a pair of these snakes,
and woe betide the unfortunate traveller
who stumbles unawares upon the nest. The
hamadryas feeds largely upon other snakes,
but it is fortunately somewhatrare. Curious
ly enough, it is not always aggressive. In
deed, it sometimes happens that it is quite
unwilling to strike. Specifically it is unlike
harmless rock snake; and not very long
ago, in Burmah. a man brought one in from
the jungle and kept it loose in his house for
days, under the impression that it was one Of
these creatures During the whole of its
captivity it never attempted to bite anyone,
and its captor, who had been familiarly pull
ling it about by the tail, was only apprised
of his mistake by a forest officer who hap
pened to turn up and who knew a good deal
about snakes. 1t is easy to imagine the haste
with which the amateur snake-charmer pro-
ceeded to dispose of his captive -lMcC CLure's

DILLON DIsAGREEs WITH HEALY
Bu cable to the omitted Pres

DUBLIN, April 9, 1S94.-A large political
meeting was held at Nenagh. County Tip
perary, yesterday, which was addressed by
Timothy Healy, John Dillon, Arthur O'Con-
nor, P J. O'Brien and other McCarthyite
members of Parliament.
Mr.. Healy declared that the Liberals had
kept their pledge in aegard to Home Rule
and expressed his belief that they will carry
out to the letter their agreement in regard to
legislation for the benefit of evicted tenants.
The Governments refusal to iberate the
Irish political prisoners, he said, was a matter
of regret. He thought the Government
should soon appeal to the country and be was
certain that such an appeal would result in
the return of a large Liberal majority.
Mr.. Dillon did not agree with Mr.. Healy
in all respects touching an appeal to the
country He did not believe that a general
election was near at hand and did not think
an early election would be of advantage to
the Liberal or the Irish party; therefore, he
counselled Irishmen to do everything in their
power to delay general election.
Mr.. OConnor spoke on the land question
and appealed to all Irishmen to treat as
social outcasts all persons who had taken
possession of farms from which tenants had
been eyicted

THE Bon TON THEATRE OPENED
The Continuous Performance Idea
Seems to BE Very Popular.


Seems to BE Very Popular.
The opening of the Bon Ton Theatre,
formerly the New Opera House, on Newark
avenue, under the auspices OF the new
management, this afternoon was pro
nounced success. As early as half-past
twelve ladies began to enter the pretty thea
tire, and when at one o'clock the orchestra
began the opening number, the auditorium
was comfortably filed and the gallery was
crowded. The novelty of a continuous en-
tertainment has attracted much attention,
and bids fair to be successful.
Variety at this theatre will be of the
highest order, and nothing in the least
offensive will be allowed. This form of en-
tertainment is specially for the ladies.
At two o'clock today the
house was crowded and ap-
plause greeted every act. This evening

SUBMARINE GHOSTS.

A diver who went down to work on the
steamship Viscaya, which was in collision
and sunk off Barnegat light had grew
some experience. 1t was difficult job, so
two divers were sent down-one of them to
remain on deck in sixty feet of water, to act
as second tender to the other diver who went
below.
The latter had been below but a few min
utes when three jerks came over the life
line When he had been hauled up on the
deck he was so unnerved that he forgot he
was still in sixty feet of water. and sig
nailed to have his helmet removed. When
both divers had been hauled to the surface.
he said that while he was working through
q gangway, he had seen two huge objects
coming toward him; and nothing could dis
suade him from the belief that be had seen
two submarine ghosts-until the other
diver went down and discovered that there
was mirror at the end of the gangway,
and that the diver had seen the reflection
of his own legs, vastly enlarged, coming
toward him. = Gustav Kobbe. IN April

STRIKERS HAVE A NEW LEADER
Much Uneasiness Manifested In the
Coke Region.

Coke Region.
CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa, April 9, 1S94.-The
uncertainty which has prevailed throughout
the coke region since the Scottdale conven-
tion. is intensified by the developments last
night and this morning. The strikers are
now following new leader, who, even
the operators admit, can be expected to
make some decisive movements The new
leader is Michael Barrett, who led
the men through the last hard struggle
Barrett was elected at secret meetlng or
delegates of the Scottdale Convention, after
the adjournment of the regular session on
Saturday. All of the action taken since the
convention has been under Barrett's advice
Barrett's policy of secrecy adds much to the
uncertainty and manifest unrest. Barrett
is admitted to be shrewd leader, with q
wonderful control over his followers.
All the works closed down by the strikers
are in operation again except the Wheeler,
of the Carbon Iron Company. The Hill
Farm, of the Dubar Furnace Company, and
the Lemont Nos. / and 2, Of the Mcclure
Company; the Frick Company resumed this
morning at KYLE, Olyphant, Redstone, Leith,
Trotter, Leisenring Nos. 1 and q Youngs-
town and Davidson. The Rainey Company
resumed at Elm Grove, and the Junltia
Company fred up their plant Owing to the
fear of an attack at McClure's Lemont plant
today it was decided to wait until tomorrow
morning. James Cochran & Son will also
start their plants today or tomorrow. The
peace which reigns this morning throughout
the region is no Indication that the strikers
have given up.
Many operators admit that it is ominous
and are extremely nervous At no time
since the strike started has there been more
uncertainty as to tho outcome. At all
meetings held yesterday and last night the
strikers were enthusiastic in their desire TO
remain out and fight to the death.
A crowd of Slavs, strikers, are assembling
in the vicinity of Trotter and Leisanring.
They say they are gathering for meeting,
but the impression prevails the' an attack
on the Trotter Works is contem ated. Some
of the miners and coke drawery }ho went to
work this morning have left. taring an at
