& Post-Nortem Pension.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean
Too much emphasis cannot be put upon
the fact that the late election was a rebuke
of Democratic hostility to the industrial
and business interests of the country, but
II must not be forgotten that other causes
contributed materially TO the result.
President Harrison was right in saying
in his published letter 10 a friend that the
people had rebuked Democratic policies,
not policy. Important in the list OF these
rebuked policies is that of hamperins
and otherwise antagonizing the fair treat
ment Of the old soldiers. Could the vote
of last week b. thoroughly analysed 1t
would be found that many thousands of
soldiers with Democratic proclivities
took that opportunity TO condemn the
pension policy of Grover Cleveland,
Hoke Smith, and the Democratic party
in Congress.
The death of Major Woodbury. NJ.
Taylor throws suggestive side light
upon that policy. Major Taylor was a
gallant officer, and no doubt his life was
shortened by the hardships and expos
ures of army life. With his rugged con-
stitution and good habits he would still,
/ in the ordinary course of nature, have
been in the fall vigor of manhood. For
a long time after the war his financial
condition was such that he needed no
pension, but later he did need it and ap-
piled for it. 1t so happened that the very
/ day his death was announced came intel
| ligence from Washington that his pen
| sion had been allowed. That post-mor-
TEN allowance of pension fairly illus
trates the policy of delay which this
: administration has adopted. The delib-
crate aim and purpose Of the Pension
| Bureau under HOke Smith seems TO be u
prevent applications from being finally
| granted Is long as possible.
The veterans of the country do well tc
! condemn by their votes such cruel pol
! icy. Nor can any genuine patriot whC
really appreciates what the country owes
to the old soldiers fail to sympathize with
and join in this condemnation.

Hastings Plurality.

The plurality Of 2l3,O1) 10y which Gov
ernor-elect Hastings was elected exceeds
by $1,000 the combined pluraliiies of all
the Republican governors elected in
Pennsylvania. and is 5000 greater than
tho combined pIuralities of all the Re
publican and Democratic governors chos-
en- in this state since the formation Of the
Republican party. The official records of
the state Department show the combined
pluralities OF all the governors elected in
the commonwealth from Curtin in 1850
up TO and including Pattison in 1880, TO be
Gen. Hastings a plurality of 2i2,G00 in
round numbers.
Curtin was elected in 1860 by majority
of j, ll5 over Henry d. Foster, and re-
elected three years later 10y majority Of
l5,335 over George W. Woodward.
Gea-y's majority over Hester Clymer in
1856 WAS HIS, and 4.59j over Asa Packer
in lS6a Hartranfl was elected in 1872 by
plurality of 35,527 over Charles Il.
Buckalew and reelected in 1870 by plu-
rality of 1900 over Cyrus l.. Pershing.
Hoyt's plurality over Andrew III. Dill
was -, j07. PatJison's plurality over gen.
Beaver in lSS2 was 1922. Four years af-
ter Beaver was elected by a plurality OF
i2.65I over Chauncey I. Black. Cover
nor Pattison's plurality in 1890 over Della
mater was lG.5j4.
There has never been governor elect
ed in this state who came within 10000
of receiving the enormous plurality 10y
which Gen. Hastings was elected. The
nearest approach to it was Governor
Schulze. who was reelected in lS26 by
majority Of 75,5ij over John Sergeant, the
Federal nominee. Governor Johnston,
the first Whig executive, was elected by
the smallest plurality ever received by
any governor Of this State, his plurality
over Morris Longstreet, Democrat, being
only ~ and his majority 2i5. Next to
Governor-elect Hastings the distinction
of having received the largest majority
by which a candidate was elected in
Pennsylvania belongs 70 Henry ;. Mott,
Democratic candidate for canal cammis-
sioIer Ia lSji. whose majority over
George Darcic. Whig, was 1875. in to-
tai vote Of 29i.0.4.

For the PEOPLES Health.

HARRISBURG, Pa. Nov. l5.-ttOveTnor
Pattison to-day presided over confer
ence held here which formulated some
important measures to be introduced in
the next Legislature. The following sub
ieets were fully considered and deemed
worthy of legislative support:
The creation of three state forestry res
ervations of 40,o00 acres each, to be locat-
ed in the highlands Of the State, these to
be finally placed under the management
of the Forestry Commission, which
should report to the State Board of Agri-
culture; the adoption of such measures
as would lead to the increasing aud pre-
serving of the purity Of the water of the
Commonwealth without injury 10 busi-
ness operations; the adoption, under the
direction of the State Board of Agricnl-
ture. of proper protection of the public
against pulmonary tuberculosis in dairy
herds, while protecting the owners of the
herds; the establishment of township
Boards of Health; the creation under the
State Board of Health of State chemical
and meteorological laboratory in Harris
burg. as an aid to the physicians of the
State in promptly diagnosing contagious
diseases.
The meeting closed with recommen-
dation that the Legislature DC asked TO
appropriate $500 year.to employ two
! competent lecturers, who should, under
the direction of the State Superintendent
of Public Instruction and the State Board
of Agriculture, and by means of Illus
trated lectures, aid in imparting reliable
| information in the relations of sanitary
measures and forestry to the present and
| future of the Commonwealth.

The Art Amateur

probably has never given two more at
tractive color plates than''rhe Bootblack, -
byJ q. Brown, and ''rhe Old Home
by the Roadside," by ID. +. Hasbrouck,
which appear in the November issue.
Locking at these highly artistic facsimiles
of oil paintings, it is easy To understand
why a medal WAS awarded mt the Worlds
Fair to the Art .ia1te1T, and why the
Chicago Board of Education lately in
troduced into the High Schools OF that
city the Art 1mRea'S color studies in
painting models-they have long been so
used in the best art schools and academies.
Bat these charming pictures are equally
valuable for framing, and, indeed, they
are so used in thousands of American
homes. This very practical art magazine.
however, by no means depends on its
color plates alone for its popularity
What most conduccs TO its extraordinary
success is that by giving a profusioE of
working designs, with easily understood
directions for carrying them out, it en-
ables SO many young people, Of both sexes,
TO earn living by painting, carving,
designing and illustrating. No person Of
artistic tastes, who wishes 10 turn them
t profit, can afford 10 be without this
{ sumptuous periodical. Price, 81 cents.

The Cost of Biundering.

New York World: The S50Oo0,010 bond
issue for which the call Is published this
morning viii cost the government 300
ODo in interest. less whatever premium il
may obtain for the bonds. If Congress
had consented last winter TO law giving
the treasury authority to meet cmcrgen-
cies, as all other governments and all
great corporations and municipalities do,
10y issuing low-interest bonds for short
terms or payable a; pleasure. the present
issue would M, have involved interest
payments of more than SL0J),030 or -,
00.G9l
This is the price the country pays for
demagogy. For 3, was nothing bu; dem
agogy that prevented the passage Of the
wise measure proposed by Senator Sher-
man AZ the last session.
Perhaps tie men who inflicted this en-
barr:issment upon the government have
come 70 their senses in the shock Of re-
cen; events. II Is possible that they may
this winter arm the treasury with power
70 protect the pa bile credit al reas lnible
instead OF excessive cost. Bat on the
whole perhaps i; * safer - protet: the
plblic credit without waiting for a mani
fcsta;ioG Of returning sanity in the south

Mysterious Murder Of q Prominent Physi-
clan.

CHARLESTON, W. VA, Nov. l6.-A very
mysterious murder of prominent ply
sician occurred at Montgomery, Fayctte
county, about o'clock this morning. DIR.
\. c. Aultz was called from his bed TO at
tend what WAS alleged TO be an urgent
case on the opposite side of Morris creek.
At o'clock the doctor had net returned,
and his family began a search for him.
About o o'clock Il man passing over the
Morris creek bridge saw the dead body
of the doctor Iyingon the jagged rocks on
the shore of the stream, - feet below. An
examination showed there had been 4
terrible struggle on the bridge, that sew
eral fragments had been torn from the
docsof's coat, and that he had been struck
on the head several times with a blunt in
strument. The fail To the rocks below
broke almost every bone in his body.
Screams were heard by persons living
near the bridge between 3 and 4 o'clock,
but they supposed the cries to come from
drunken miners, and paid no attention TO
them. The only theory for the crime is
that friends OF persons implicated in the
late coal riots put the doctor ont of the
way to keep him from testifying against

the Pla.na Placed,

The Board O: Investigation of the Bal
timoge q Ohio Railroad Company mot ON
Monday at Pittsburg and concluded their
inquiry in the wreck at Pine Grove, last
week, where six lives were lost. Con-
dGctor John Ward, who was in charge of
the wrecked passenger train, made his
report, and a number Of witnesses were
examined. The train order duplicate
showed that both Engineer Bush, who
was killed, and Conductor Ward had in
struc.ions to pass the stock train at Pine
Grove. Their signatures were on the or
der duplicates. The responsibility of the
wreck was accordingly placed on them.
General Superintendent Patton says
that the wreck was :" a case of forgetting
on both the part Of Conductor Ward and
Engineer Bush. They received and re-
ceipted for exactly the same orders.
Train orders are absolute and admit of no
discretion on the part of the trainnen.
Even if the engineer and conductor Of
the wrecked passenger train had known
that they had an hour TO spare, they
would have had no right 10 go ahead con-
trary to orders. Conductor Ward has
been dismissed from service on the Il. *
.. lie feels the position he is in keenly.
After Engineer Bush had made the bluu-
der i'm running past Pine Grove, his pass
ing point, Conductor Ward scarcely had
time to act before the crash came 1t was
not minute from the time the Flyer
passed Pine Grove until the two trains
came together.
The damage, including the loss tn ship
pers, which will be paid by the railroad
company, will not exceed Sis,G00. Two
cars of oysters were destroyed, consider
able express matter and some mail mat
ter.
Two farmers, who were in Il field near
the railroad track when the wreck o.
curred and saw the two trains come to-
gether, say that Engineer Bush jumped
from his engine before tho collision. lie
was apparently unhurt from tho jump,
for he got upon his feet and started II iGn
forward toward the engines, when "a bar
rel of oysters was hurled from an express
ear by the force Of the collision and :; ruck
him on The head, breaking his neck. The
iarmers' story is probably correct, a.
Bush's neck was broken, and when found
he WAS ont from the track some distance
covered with wreckasc.

Great F;uanoiers.

The New York Herald, in an exceed
ingly humorous way, deals with the pres
ent financial policy of this administra-
ton. The Herald says that our present
method Of replenishing the Treasury with
gold suggests the story of Davy Crockett's
c0onskin.
Peltries were circulating medium in
the bacllwoods, and Davy at the loghouse
tavern paid for the drinks with the fur of
a coon which had been the sole reward of
his prowess with 4 rifle that day.
The bartender threw the peitry under
the rude counter, ana Davy, recovering ii
through the interstice in the logs, tender
cd it in payment for another ''round, -
and repeated the trick until he and his
comDotators had drained the barrel, and
the puzzled proprietor discovered that as
a result OF the prosperous trade he had
been driving he had nothing on hand but
the same old coonskin.
Last February when the Treasury re-
serve ran low il was replenished 10y the
sale of fifty millions OF new government
five per cent. bonds for gold, the proceeds
amounting to upward OF fifly-eight mil
lions, as the bonds command high pre-
MUM. That was all very well so far as it
went, but the people who had paid in the
gold saw a hole through which they could
surreptitiously pull it ont again. This
was the obligation OF the Treasury and its
branches To deliver gold in redemption of
legal tenders when presented in sums of
fifty dollars or more.
Through this hole all the gold received
for the bonds was soon drawn OUt Of the
Treasury again, and lis present owners
stand ready to repeat the trick 10y paying
it over the counter once more for the new
issue Of government bonds. Given a con-
tinuance of existing conditions, and this
same sixty millions Of gold could be used
as often as Davy Crockett's peltry, and
after the government had issued a chou
sand millions of bonds the Treasury
would have nothing but the same old gold
reserve with which il started.

Crime is Rampant.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Nov. ld.-The sit
uation in tho Indian Territory is be
coming daily worse. There il pracii-
cally no such thing as the enforcement
of the law, and the bandits are virtually
unmolestcd in their appalling de-
predations.
At Muscogee and Fort Gibson the
business men and property owners are
panic stricken at the complete COM
mercial paralysis resultant from the reign
of lawlessness. Not half Of the crimes
committed finds space in the newspapers.
In fact the half has not been told of the
terrible condition of affairs,
Organized gangs go from place to place,
plundering right and len, and adding
murder to their category Of crimes when
resistance Is offered II them. Marshal
Drump and his men are sparing no
efforts to protect life and property, bat
they seem to he Poworless TO check the
sway of the bandits.

The Marriage Liesnss Law.

Attorney General IIensel, having been
asked by the Auditor General for an Off
c:a! opinion rs TO whether there IS any
marriage license law in force, in view Of
the contention that the act of 1898 repeals
the act Of 1885, or suspends it until Octo-
Der l, 1896, has sent an answer 10 Auditor
General Gregg. The attorney general de
clines to give an official opinion on the
subject, because, he says, no case or state
of facts calling for such opinion has been
presented. He says, however, he does
not hesitate to express his individual and
unofficial opinion that the claim that the
acl Of lSS5 is repealed, suspended or abro-
gated Is unsOund. He holds that it was
the intention of the act Of lsg3 simply to
amend the act Of lSS5. BY the terms of
the act of 1898 its enlarged provisions do
not become operative until October /,
lSjj Meanwhile, ii is the opinien of Mr..
Hensel that the act of June -, 1855, re-
quiring marriage licenses and imposinga
penalty for the solemniZation or witness
ing Of marriages without such licenses. is
in full force and operation.

Kerr oa the opinion.

Ex-ConncilOr William T. Kerr, of the
Jr. O. L. 4. NJ, speaking Of the action of
the Supreme Court i'm the Gallitzin school
case. said:
''rhe opinion of the Supreme court is
not a surprise TO me, as if was anticipat-
e1 the only surprise is that Justice Dean,
who adjudged a similar ease, The Wes-
ley Spires while he was presiding judge
Of Cambria aud Blair counties, should
write il. l don't believe in attacking the
judiciary, for il is our safeguard, but if
any of the other judges had written the
opinion it would look probably better.
One is never expected to burn down his
own hoase, and this opinion is an en-
dorsement of Judge Dean many years
ago. Many people objected TO taking the
case 10 the Supreme Colrt, as they
thought it a useless expense. bat il was
our opinion that the highest state author
ity should be had, so we could go to the
legislature knowingly, and rs we now
have it we propose TO go there at ON ,e.'

ACCORDING to the figures now at
hand, there viii be in the next House
2L5 Republicans, l05 Democrats and 6
Populists-a Republican majority Of
1Si. There will be a considerable num-
ber OF contests made, owing TO the
methods adopted by Democrats to Sc
cure the election OF their candidates in
some of the Southern States, ard il is
not unlikely that the Republican ma
iority will be increased. The contests
should, of course, be decided strictly on
their merits; but the fact that the Re
publicans have sufficient majority
and TO spare is not a reason why DEM
oerats elected by fraud and chicanery
should be permitted TO Ietain their
seats
