Eli Perkins on the Message.

PoTsDAM, y. ", Dec. 6.-Melvil ID.
Landon, better known as Eli Perkins,
speaks thus OF the Presidents message: !:
president Cleveland's message is clear
and lucid document. 1t tells us Demo-
Gratis why we had to kill the Monroe
Doctrine. Ittells US why we Democrats
had to try to sink the Republic of Hawaii
ard put a negro on the throne. The mes
sage proves Gus Democrats that Ii is
wisdom to send gold TO low-wage Europe
for tin and glass and pottery and cloth,
and stop our home mills, giving our
workmen low wages and a rest. 1t eX-
plains how, when we bought S300,OcO,o0
more of goods from England than we
sold them, and paid the balance in gold
hired from England at 1 per cent. il was
the Sherman bill that made the deficit.
''Then, Cleveland explained what a
calamity the greenback has brought upon
Us. We Democrats loved these green
backs during the thirty years ofprosper-
ity, when we had tariff for revenue, a
full Treasury, and paid off q, 600, 200, 600
of the National debt, but now we see that
free trade is a blessing, and that the
greenback is running US. The message
shows us Democrats that it was right and
neighborly for the King of Spain to
grant belligerent rights to jeff Davis in
war to kill a republic and save slavery,
while il is all wrong for our Republic TO
grant belligerent rights 10 Cuban patriots
fighting for liberty and twin republic.
Yes, our Grover is Democrat, and DEM
Ocracy is always right-sometimes."

port for more than third of century,
and To say that have not been, am not

tunity will be afforded me to serve those
who have served me, and, that L Will do

Give Women a Chance.

DR.. Nathan c. Schaeffer, superinten-
dent of public instruction, is a strong ad-
voc.ste of women on school boards. II c
says the Office of director is one of fitness
and if woman Is more fit for the place
than man she ought to replace him. On
the other side of the Atlantic woman has
shown thai she is superior to man in her
fitness for the office.
DIR. ScaGcifsr believes man is too prone
To neglect the comforts of the school
house, while on the other hand the w0-
man is more ohservant Of the needs Of
children. lie has the first district TO find
in Pennsylvania where women are MEM
bers of the school board that it j. possi-
bic TO talk of the slaughter of the inno-
cents" He claims il is better to consult
women in the curriculum and grading of
the schools, and if he had his own way
he would put several women on each
school board in the State. From long
experience and careful observation DIR.
SchaefTer believes that we are taking
great step forward when we place women
on school boards.

AFTER the Onerous task of writing,
or rather compiling, a message that is
longer and says less than any annual
message on record, Mr.. Cleveland
fired it into Congress and then straight
way hurried TO the coast of North Car
olina for ten days or 50 of duck-shoot-
ing. Here is Congress in session with
the greatest of National questions be
fore il; but what cares Grover for Re
publican Congress, or National mat
teTs9 Ducks are ripe, and 80 public bus
iness may wait, and Congress can be
snubbed. For six months during the
SUNNI er and fall Mr.. Cleveland alb
scented himself from the capital and
directed his time TO fishing and gun
ming; he returned at Thanksgiving,
spent a few days at his country seat
near Washington, and again he's
away for sport. For a statesman who
e1n ecrated himself to the welfare of
the country at $4,000 per annum, he is
the coolest specimen of inflated ego
tism now figuring on the worlds stage.
1t is trae he is but of little consequence
in National affiirs, as there is no prob
ability of his suggestions being adopt
ed by this Congress, but still a decent
respect for the dignity of his position,
il not for the opinions of mankind,
should constrain him to give apparent
attention TO mis- public duties, and
maintain at least, a show of courtesy
e. the other coordinate branches of the
Government. 1t is the old, old story
of Nero fiddling while Rome burned.

Shot Down By a Robber.

CoUDERsPoRT, Pa, Dec. 6.-The story
of fiendish robbery comes from Ulysses,
this county. The victim is an old soldier,
and he will probably die. Norman F..
Bump went to Ulysses and drew the
money on his pension voucher. lie WAS
about town an hour or more, when he
started for home. His way led through a
piece of woods. When at point where
the trees are the thickest Bump was fired
upon from ambush. A portion of the
charge struck him i'm the side at short
range. Bump reeled, but not before he
saw standing behind tree not ~ feet
distant a young man, who, he says, was
Charles Chiltson. Chiltson stood with a
double-barreled shotgun partially raised
to his shoulder. Bump attempted 10 run,
when Chiltson fired again, this time fell
ing him. The shots attracted several
men to the spot, where they found Bump.
He was able to tell his story, and by the
aid of a light snow on the ground the
men could track Chiltson through the
woods. 4 posse of citizens gave pursuit,
but darkness soon coming on the hunt
for the young man was abandoned until
morning. Yesterday they found Chilt-
son hiding, and after some show of re-
sistance he was captured. Chiltson bor-
rowed the gun from neighbor, ostensi-
bly, for the purpose of going pheasant
hunting.

Bride Backs out Three Times.

WAvERLY, o., Dec. AT Yellowtown
day jeff Smith and Miss Flora Weeks
appeared at Squire Blacks home to be
married. The couple are the children
of prosperous farmers and this was the
third time they had come TO the squire
to be married. The ceremony had pro-
gressed half way when the bride stopped
the squire.
II don't want to get married after all, -
she said. "Jeif1s the best man on earth
and FL never marry any one else. This
is the third time I've stood here and each
time something like coffin comes be
tween u.s.
The girl turned quickly, put her arms
about Jeif and the two went nome to-
gether.

Mr.. CLEVELAND thinks that the
trouble with the treasury is the green
backs being redeemable in gold; they
draw out the yellow metal and it goes
abroad. II is most singular that for
over the thirty years we have been
using these notes, they never behaved
so naughtily before. Any school-boy
could tell the President that if more
money is paid out daily than is COM
ing in, the bottom will soon be reach
ed. and vet not suggestion is made
looking to an increase of revenue, 10
meet the deficiency.

A Supreme Court Justice.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The president
to-day sent to the senate the following
nominations: Rufus W. Peckham, Of
New York. TO be associate justice of the
supreme court of the United States I;
Richard Olney, Of Massachusetts, to be
secretary OF state; Judson Harmon. of
Ohio, to be attorney general.
Rufus W. Peck ham, of New York nom
mated to be associate justice of the sn
preme court, is a brother of Wheeler III.
Peckham, nominated and rejected for the
same place during the last congress. The
nomination appears to be satisfactory to
the senate and there will he no dilatory
tactics against the confirmation of the
nominee. The senate in executive ses-
sion confirmed the nomination of Olney
to be secretary OF State and Harmon to
be attorney general.

DURING last year, according TO the
reports received at the Department OF
Internal Affairs, there were l,5eS peo-
pile killed and l0,607 injured on the
railroads of Pennsylvania. This seems
almost incredible, but as the railroads
report it themselves, we must accept il
as true. In the entire number, hOwev-
er, there were % passengers killed and
G12 injured, showing that the danger
of railroad travel has wonderfully di-
minished. Ii is found from the reports
that there is one employe killed to ev-
cry 36l employed, and one injured to
every IL employed. These latter fig
ures are the sad ones and tell a sorrow
ful story.

THE South Carolina Constitutional
Convention has adjourned after franz
ing aud adopting a new constitution,
which was not submitted to a vote of
ratification by the people. As the
principal object of changing the late
constitution was to wipe out negro
suffrage, il was Of course accomplished.
Tae suffrage article provides that be-
fore a man is permitted TO vote he
must be able to read u portion of the
constitution and explain il Intelligent
D. to show that he understands il.
This will knock out" most of the col
ored voters; for those who were slaves
or have grown up since the war, can
not read, and therefore cannot explain
the constitution. 4 few whites will
also be caught by this provision, but a.
the election officers are the Judges OF
their qualification. il may be set down
for certain that but very few white
men will be rejected; and, for the pur-
pose of keeping the eolofed people in a
state of ignorance, it is provided also
that the money collected from white
people for school purposes shall he used
for the maintenance of white schools
oaly, and that collected from colored
people shall he used to educate colored
children. As is weli-known, the color
ei people of South Carolina are noto-
riously poor, it can he readily seen that
a mighty small number of them will
ever be able to read and explain the
Constitution. IL is said that this ras-
caIly suffrage clause will be taken to
the Supreme Court of the United
States for settlement.

County Won't Foot the Bill.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Dec. "a jury in
Court to-day decided ease that will

State. Viewers who were appointed to
report on the advisability Of freeing a
county bridge sued the petitioners for
their fees, and the jury decided that
the persons who asked for the improve
ment must pay the costs. This rule
will be construed to apply to all public
improvements. and other suits in which
viewers have not been paid. may follow.

The Kentucky Legislature Tied.

LOUISVILLE, Dec. S-The special cleo
iion in the Fifty-eighth legislative dis
trict yesterday was won by the Demo
Gratis, who elected their candidate, 4. j.
Carroll, 10y a majority of 46s over the Re
publican nominee, Charles \. Blatz. As
a result the Kentucky Legislature is left
with a tie on joint ballot, and the ballot
ing for United States Senator to succeed
Senator Blackburn is likely to result in a
deadlock. on joint ballot the Republi-
cans and Democrats will have IS votes
each and the Populists two, and it is
pretty well assured that the Populist
vote will split.

WE gather from the message that
the Cleveland plan to meet the deficit
in the treasury is to plunge deeper in
to debt. A few old Republican fogies
are of the opinion that an increase OF
the revenues would meet the trouble,
but then, that would smack of again
building up the ''robber tariff. }"
