POLITICAL POINTERS.

ei maps thoSc WHO pOOn-pOOn
the idea that Mr.. G evcland is ser
iously working for denomination
for third term for himself are
right. but so far as indications can
be trusted they are wrong. The
following summary of the situa-
tlon is made by Democr tic ex-
con2ressman-Conn, of Indiana;
"The administration was never
before so much in politics. Demo
cratic dissension in Kentucky,
Maryland and Ohio has aroused
the turgid partisanship of Presi-
dent Cleveland and instead of
breaking out in choleric platltudes
he is using the machinery of the
administration to bring sweet
peace to warning democratic fac
tlons, in the interests of his third
term. German, with his sugar
trust record; Brice, the champion
of senatorial corporate rings, and
Blackburn, the free silver idol.
have suddenly become endowed
with angelic qualities, and, because
they are supposed to control the
party majority in their respective
states, they are being held to the
Presidents heart to be warmed in
to Cleveland democratic life. To
Secretary Carlisle is entrusted the
conversion of Kentucky Bourbon
ism. His voice will soon be min
gled in unison with t at of Free
Silver Joe in behalf of party har-
mony, whether it comes from a Is
to l calamity organ or a go d
mounted corporation concert grand
lust so it is equipped with a
Cleveland subbass attachment. If
the Democratic decd of trust which
Senator Brice carries in his inside
pocket can also be franke1 with
the Cleveland cuckoo crest. Ohio
will be as safe for third term as
if counted among the heavenly
host. But in Maryland the situa-
ton is somewhat differ MT. Sena-
tor Iorman's pull is only a three
ting r hold, and it is doubtful if
even President Cleveland's mag
netIc influence will mesmerize
enough democrats to elect the ring
ticket to complete the circuit and
turn a third term current into the
next national convention it will
also be necessary to capture New
York, In Llama and another impor-
tant state or two. New York has
Its democratic troubles, for which
Senator Hill holds the panacea.
and the next effort of President
Cleveland will probably be to Sc
cure control of the senator's medi-
cine box Indiana is considerably
wrought up over the silver cues
ton and it will be necessary to
proselyte Senator Voorhees, in or
der to vote that delegation. This
was done once before and perhaps
the same charm can be worked
again. In any event an extraordi-
nary effort is being made to wheel
the democracy into line for Cleve-
land, Il third term and continua-

The publication of Secretary La

appropriate enough for that pur-

The Mothers Life Long Desire Realized In
the Child's Success.
The mother of Dora Valesca Becker
had, as child, the greatest craving to
study the violin, but her wish was
never realized, because her father, a
wealthy Hungarian merchant, was OPP
posed to the idea Of having girl edu-
Gated in music. Mrs. Becker was
therefore determined, should she be
blessed with daughter, to have her
learn the violin. 1t so came about
that the little Dora began her studies
when only six years of age. She was
born in Galveston, Tex, her father
being conductor of the Galveston sing
ing society. At the age of seven she
made her debut at the Galveston opera
house. At a second concert, given
when she was only nine years old, she
won the hearts Of the people in such a
manner that they sent her presents OF
jewelry and beautiful violin.
Some years ago, when Camilla Urso
was in the flush of her professional
career. little girl, after hearing her
play, thought, lone woman has mas
tered the violin, why should not an
other?" This girl was Maud Powell
an American artist whose name is IA

he was singled out.

HASTINGS SHARP POLITICS.
THE GOVERNORS ACTION ON LEGISLA-
TON BELIEVES TO BE DICTATED BY
FACTIONAL EXPEDIENcY.

Governor Hastings is believed TO
have made a ten-strike when he at
tached his signature to the religious
garb bill, so far as his war on Quay is
concerned. The Governor had in
tended to veto the measure and had
informed many Of his friends of his
purpose. This change of base, the
Quay people say, was inspired by the
belief that it would help him in his
fight to re elect Colonel Gilkeson
chairman of the State committee.
The patriotic orders had made many
threats not boding any good to him if
he disapproved the bill, and the best
way out of the dilemma which con-
fronted him was to sign it. Mr.. Bear,
Of York, the Republican candidate
for Senator in that county at the last
election, called on the Governor to-
day and assured him that he could
count on York for its delegates to the
Republican State Convention. Mr..
Bear is prominent in patriotic orders,
which are strong in his county. The
action of the Governor in signing the
firemen's pension bill is also regarded
as a shrewd move to promote his
cause.
The Governor vetoed the Gettys-
burg battle field book bill, which would
have cost the State $a5 900, but signed
the fremen's pension bill, which will
divert from the State Treasury to
borough and township treasures SIS,
900 year. The friends of Quay,
while forced 10 admit that the ap-
proval Of the latter will improve his
chances to beat their leader, say ii
was done at the expense of consistency.
They also charge that he is using hi:
official position wherever opportunity
offers to promote his candidacy and
that Of Colonel Gilke eson.

DIsTILLERIEs WILL SHUT DOWN.
DEPRESSION IN THE TRADE WILL CLoeV
EVERY PLANT IN THE PITTSBURG
DISTRICT.

Before July 10 the forty eight dis.
tilleries in the Pittsburg internal reve-
nue. district will be closed down owing
to serious depression in the sale of
whisky. 1t is customary for the dis
tilleries to close during the months of
July and August, but this year they
are to be closed for a much longer
period. The majority of them and
the largest ones will be shut down un-
til January to allow the surplus of
whiskey that is now on the market to
be consumed.
Every distillery in Collector f. A.
Bigler's district is to be closed by the
date mentioned. About ten will start
up in September and the others will
get up steam between then and the
New Year. At present there is a
greater quantity of whisky in the store
houses and in the warerooms of the
distilleries than was ever before known.
All the places for stocking are filled.
The shutting down of the distilleries
will throw 1900 men out of employ
ment. One cause given for the slow
sale Of spirits is the reputed liquor
cure, but the chief reason seems to
be that the distilleries are Just now
feeling the hard times from which the
country is recovering. AS rule the
whisky manufacturers make their con-
tracts a year ahead. Thus during the
hard times the distilleries were work
ing on good time orders. When they
were passed the wholesalers and the
manufacturers had a surplus on hand
and now suspension is in order until
the consumption catches up to the
production.
The Pittsburg district includes the
twenty.siX western counties of Penn
sylvania, or all west of the lines that
run east of Mexican and Somerset
counties, and including Cambria.
There are about seventy gaugers and
clerks in the internal revenue service,
half of whom will be laid off. The
production of spirituous liquors for the
year ending the Ist of June in this
district was 4.So4,376 gallons.
