Can the Truth be Concealed.

The deadly work may 90 on, but there
are certain portentous facts which cannot
be obscured now, and which cannot be
suppressed or evadcd or escaped hereafter.
II the Sugar Trust schedule passes the
Senate, IL will owe its narrow margin TO
votes which have been decided by corrup-
tion and which have been yelled and
shielded by perjury!
If II passes the Senate 1t will be In the
presence Of Committee OF Investigation
suddenly and consciously halted ut the
very door OF revelations at whose character
and inevitable consequences they stand
agaat. 1t sometimes happens that good
men shut their eyes and stop their ears
lest what they shall see and hear will be
more painful than indifference to duty an
TO truth.
II, passing the Senate, the Sugar Trus
schedule shall also pass the House, IL will
be solely because the Administration sup
ports and demands 1t. Without the direct
and positive iuterposition OF the Admins.
tration on It's behalf 1t cannot pass The
real feeling Of the House IL against It.
Nothing but the Administration can save
II. The Administration will be on trial.
These are the plain facts. IL remains
for the Dem cratic plrty and for the Ad-
ministration to decide whether they can
afford TO put through this infamy .-Phila-
delphia Pres.

From the New York Daily Press.

The most outrageous economic legisla-
tion Of tho century is the Bourbon pro-
gramme which provides for the ruin Of
the American wool raising industry, while
presenting eight millions Of dollars from
the pockets Of the American people to the
monopoly known as the Sugar Trust. The
American farmer who tolls for a frugal
support Ia to be robbed Of the sheep whose
wool helps him to living, while the
Sugar Trugt millionaires are to be endowed
ut the expense OF the farmer and wage
Garner.
A duty on wool In indispensable TO the
existence Of that industry, which could
not bold its own against foreign importa-
tions. American wool-production has
been fostered and promoted by protec-
ton, and in in fair way, with protection
continued, to supply NIL the needs Of do
mestic manufacture. Such result would
be q signal step In the progress Of the
country to that industrial Independence
which Republican protection has made
possible. On the other hand, the destruc-
tion Of the wool-raising industry would
inevitably follow the passage Of the Bour-
bon bill, and the United states, 80 Tar as
concerns wool would be In bondage 10
South American and Australia.
IL may suit Great Britain to have IA
tributary tossBritish colonies for wool, but
1t ought not TO suit Americans. II may
suit Australia TO have the sheep Of Ohio
California and other States Of the West
and the Pacific swept TO destruction, bu'
the American Senate should not represent
the interests Of Australian flock masters
The Northern Senators, irrespective o
party, should stand united In defense o
the interests OF the North, and there Il
no interest more deserving Of resolute
firm and unyielding defense than wool
production. Bourbonism may be resolved
upon the annihilation Of this industry; bu
all the more determined should tho repre-
sentatives Of Northern States show them
selves In defeating its programme OF nv
arice and revenge.

Later reports Of the contest between
Senator Butler, Of South Carolina, and
Governor Tillman tend 10 coafirm the i'm
preston that the heated term has not even
been felt here thus far. Their Immediate
object Ia TO carry the Legislature, but be-
yond that lies the succession TO Rntler In
the Senate, which both men want. Butler

outcome Of this battle, they mean that
Tillman will win; but it is not certein that

NEIGHBoRHooD NOTES.

At Rulings Grove in Allegheny Co.
on Sunday occurred an accident by whicn
a father and mother are fatally wounded
and babe badly injured. There was Q
picnic given by the ST. George Society and

Schniderlochner ran off and threw him and
his wife and child over rocky pres
ipice along the road with the result above
mentioned.
On Saturday afternoon terrific storm
visited the region lying between Pulaski
and New Bedford in Lawrence Co. Wind,
hail, lightning and heavy rain prevailed
and caused great deal of destruction to
crops and buildings. At one place the
roads were covered to a depth of three
inches with ice and the country presented
a regular winter scene The large hail
stones stripped the trees of fruit and did
much damage otherwise. Growing wheat
and oats were prostrated and corn washed
out.
While digging a trench through a cellar
that had been excavated and then filled
up by the food of 1889, workmen in Johns
town last week unearthed parlor car that
was lost from the Inflated day express at
Conemaugh that day. 1t is believed fur
ther search will unearth bodies of persons
lost on that train.

The long threatened suit against the
Harmony Society, and particularly John
S. Duss, the controlling spirit of 1t. was
filed in the United States Circuit Court
last Tuesday, by Shiras g. Dickey, attor-
neys, for the claimants to part Of the
wealth of the society. The bill is SEN
sational one, containing bold charges
against Duss. ex-Judge Henry Hice, OF
Beaver, and John Reeves, Of Beaver Falls.
None of the plaintiffs are residents of this
State, but live in West Virginia, Ohio and
Dakota. They were formerly members Of
the society, and their parents, brothers
and sisters were among the original mem
bers. There are parts Of the bill of high
" sensational nature. Duss, with Hice
and Reeves, are mentioned a. the leaders
in plan to secure the Society's wealth
and transfer it from the possession of the
rightful owners. Personal charges are
m adn AGAINST Dnss.

Patriotism and Nose.

Old John Adams, In expressing the hope
that tho Fourth might always be celebrat-
ed bv explosions of gunpowder, shouts OF
enthusiastic crowds, roaring Of cannon,
and joyful hosting Of flags, recognized tne
fact that noise and turmoil are the lar-
guage of great occasions.
There are those to whom the celebration
Of the 4th does not appeal, to whom tne
noige and racket are annoying. Their
souls are lanquid, their patriotism weak
kneed, and a. for public spirit they havn't .
as much az the sturdy babe Of two who
shouts approval at the fizz and bang OF tne
penny fire cracker.
people who close not the shop shut
ters On day such as this are unworthy OF
uolitical salvation. Their patriotism I'D
totally depraved. :.
But the people who impatiently wait
the midnight bell and murder sleep ior
the ungodly by making night hideous ior
traitors-sE ades Of Washington, Jeffer-
son and Adams, sing anthems 10 tneir
praise.
Silence, the world over, means indiffer-
ence or death. Moving, bustling LIE,
noble efforts, ambitious thoughts; all oring
sounds. The Fourth without its fire crack
er, it's rocket, and its red light becomes
inocuous, insipid, Insignificant. Banisn
ii, let it die out, and the country takes on
dread sickness; becomes an easy prey 10
the foreign hosts.
Why should we not make our little
noisef The thirteen infant states, with
their population of three millions, destin-
cd, az England had ii, to remain q depen-
dent coast Colony, has grown to be what
we know it. To day nothing la as un-
stable an throne, while over all our in
ternal strifes, which appear so momen-
tous, the stars and stripes float calm and
peaceful.
