statement made by him will undoubted- ly be accepted by many as semiofficial declaration of the position of the sound money men of the administration. This impression is further strengthened by the belief that Mir. Hamlin has seen President Cleveland since the adjourn ment of the convention. He spent sev. eral days at Marion, near Gray Gables, on his way back to Washington from Chicago. The statement referred to is as follows:
 'sNo political issue is involved inEthe coming election. The question to be decided upon is far deeper and more vital The perpetuity of Republican in- stitntions has been threatened. Every loyal citizen should ally himself against the forces which controlled the Chicago convention, forces of lawlessness, which are inconsistent with the maintenance Of the republic. Henceforth there should be no Republican, no Democrat ic, but a union of loyal citizens against the combined forces of repudiation and disorder. When once this dangerous element has been stamped out at ths polls by an indignant people who can again divide and discuss these political questions which for generations havs kept alive the two great political par- ties.

There were some plain drunks and some fights, but by far the most important case was that of the man Snowden charged with carrying brass knucks, A moderate fine of 5000 was inn posed. Snowden had no visible means of support except the knucks-and so he was adjudged guilty of vagrancy and another fine of 5000 was added.

IS THE ENTERPRIsING TOWN OF
 REDFIELD REPRESENTED
In Our Great Special Edition -Altheimer will be Visited Fri day July 17th. The County
 is With us Solidly.

Work on the towns in Jefferson county was begun yesterday and the initial point was Redheld. As was fully expected this thriv- ing and progressive place was heartily in favor of pushing their town and county to the front, and joined the inaugral procession to a man. Not a single refusal came from the eighteen business and professional men. Altheimer will be visited by Mir. David Friday July I7th, and 1t IS to be hoped they will fall into line with the balance of the county. The success attending this great movement is nowhere more prominent than in the county and ere it's completion Jefferson county will be represent ed almost to a unit. In the meanwhile work on the edition is progressing rapidly. Watch for the big affair, it eclipses all pre- vious efforts.

Harrisburg, Pa, Dec. 12.-George
Erb, aged &c years, confessed to the
police yesterday afternoon to the MUIR
der of man named Edward Nutter
last FEBRUARY in Fort Smith, Ark. Erb
was driven to the confession by his
conscience worrying him 80 he could
not rest. Immediately after having
confessed 1t he was sent to Jail.
Erb has been in Harrisburg several
days, and yesterday afternoon he pro-
ceeded to the mayors Office and gave
himself up. He originally came from
Mechanicsburg, Cumberland county,
and went west some years ago, where
he lived some time and met Miss Ella
Hicks. Erb and Miss Hicks soon
drifted to Fort Smith, Ark, and while
boarding at hotel met Edward Nut
ter. 1t did not take them long to as
in his possession. This Erb and Miss
Hicks resolved to secure and a dose of
poison was given to Nutter.
With the money secured, they then
Immediately left for Memphis, where
they lived together, and shortly after
wards learned that Nutter had died
from the effects OF the poison. This
information caused Erb much uneasi-
ness, and he found it impossible to re-
main with the woman, who had as
sisted him in the poisoning. Accord
ingly, he left Memphis and wandered
about the country, finally arriving in
Harrisburg.
District Attorney Detwller will in
yestigate the case. Mayor Patterson
first thought possibly the man was
only trying to secure transportation to
Memphis, but it was soon discovered
that he was sincere in what he told.
Worry compelled him to confess, and
he declares that he wants to be pun
ished for his wrong-doing.
Erb is a stone cutter by trade. He
says he only intended to give Nutter
knockout drops" and never thought
for a moment of killing him.
Miss Hicks is still in Memphis. hav-

New York, Dec. ia Washington
special says:
President Cleveland has been called
to account by the sultan of Turkey.
This protest was made Thursday by
the Turkish government against the
language used in the presidents mes
sage to congress respecting the massa-
ere of the Armenians and the general
conduct Of the government toward the
Christians in the empire.
The situation is said TO threaten
trouble in the diplomatic relations be-
tween the United States and Turkey.
Moustapha Bey, the Turkish minister,
it is rumored at the state department,
has intimated that if some amends are
not made by the president he will be
obliged to ask for his passports and
return to Constantinople.
The deep displeasure of the sultan
was made known to Secretary of State
Olney by the Turkish minister in ac-
cordance with a cablegram received by
him from his home government.
The interview between the minister
and secretary of state is described as
exceedingly interesting and somewhat
exciting. Moustapha Bey began by
stating that his government had in
structed him to make an immediate
and emphatic protest against the
harsh and unjust language used by the
president in his public utterances con-
corning a power with which the United
States sustained friendly diplomatic
relations"
This was accusing President Cleye-
land Of a diplomatic discourtesy, but
the minister made it still more serious
by stating that the sultan regarded
Presidents Cleveland message as the
argument of an advocate, in that he
presented only one side of the case,
although he possessed complete infor-
nation regarding the other, or Turk
ish side, which had been officially com
municated to him.
The minister also called attention to
various grievances that his government
entertains against citizens Of the
United States. He said that they had
libeled the sultan and abused the
Turkish government and been allowed
to do SO unreprimanded by the presi-
dent, although some of them were
public officers.
Complaint was also made against
American missionaries in Turkey who
were charged with melting the, Arpen-
ians against the Turkish government
and with aiding them by assisting in
concealing the manufacture of dyna-
mite bombs in Christian churches.
1t is said that Moustapha Bey pre-
scented what the Turkish government
regards as proof of these charges and
that they are now on file in the depart
ment. Among those accused are DIR.
Cyrus Hamlin, the well-known Con-
gregational minister and Drs. Dwight
and Washburn of Roberts colleGA in
Constantinople.

New York, Dec, ia Key West
special says:
Private Havana advlces fatty DENY
the Spanish report that Maceo is dead.
They say the Spanish troops under
Cirujeda were subjected to humiliat-
ing defeat and lost one-third of his
force. Rebels pursued him to the out
skirts of the town.
Neighboring pacificos seen said the
insurgents were commanded by Serafin
Sanchez, whom Spanish reports killed
last month in Santa Clara province,
adding that If Maceo were with the
party the fact was kept quiet
The most important Cubans in Ha-
wanna, sympathizing, aiding or abetting
the revolution, disbeieve the story Of
Maceo's death. They admit his entry
into Havana province and believe that
he forced the trocha in response to an
order from Gomez to assume command
of the operations in the center and re-
organize the insurgent force in Hava-
ma, Mantanzas and. Santa Clara prov
inces.
Another fact proving that the truth
is not in the Spanish dispatches about
Maceo is that a correspondent was re-
fused all information as to his body.
A subordinate Spaniard explained it
in this way: "Maceo is seriously
wounded; was being conducted east,
probably to the principle hospital of
the Cubans in Cienega de Zapta for
safety. The escort was attacked by
Spanish forces under Major Cienaya
and the wounded chief was captured
and killed"
Corujeda attempted to return to
Punta Bravo with the corpse when
rebel reinforcements attacked them on
the road, rescuing the body.
This explanation sounds more prob
able than the story given out at the
palace.

A campaign word that has done duty
in this country for more than half a
century is "roorback." 1t means a fic-
etion concocted in one political party
in the hope Of injuring another party
and designed to be put forth SO late
that there will not be sufficient time
before election day for counteracting
any injurious effect that it may have.
The origin of the word was in the
name of fictitious Baron Roorhach,
THE story of whose supposed travels
was part of the campaign literature of
the year 1874. The roorback is not a
potent weapon nowadays. Indeed, 1t
is pleasant to know that the roorback
is sometimes a come-back-a boone
rang.

A Norwegian boy was too poor to get
a university education, but this fact did
not discourage him. He was deter
mined to learn and to make good use
of what he learned. When eighteen
years of age he became an itinerant
teacher. He had taste and talent for
pathological work. In time he had made
q name by what he published. What
he did for the Norwegian language re-
ceived the praise of scholars and the
gratitude of his countrymen. This son
of poor peasants died recently at the
age of eighty-three, and his fame as a
photographer and poet is secured. This
example Of an intelligent determine
ton to triumph over hindrances and to
make the most of ones self is worth
much to the world. There is such a
thing as making opportunity, as the
life of Ivar Aasen finely shows.
