A PENNSYLVANIA HOLOCAUST.
Two Burned to Death and Five Others
Fatally Burned.

Fatally Burned.
MCT )NALD, Pa, May 16.-A fire entail
ing the loss of two lives and the probable
fatal burning of five children occurred at
Mcdonald yesterday. A large two story
dwelling located on the Patterson and
Santess lease, was totally destroyed and
Mrs James Cadamire and her infant child
were burned to death Five other small
children who were in the house at the
time ran to aid their mother, and were all
so badly burned that but little hope is en-
tertained for their recovery.
The cause of the sad tragedy was the
fatal oil can, the contents of which the
mother was using to hasten the fire in the
kitchen stove. She was just in the act of
pouring the oil in the stove when a terrific
explosion followed, and in flash the en-
tire room was like a roaring furnace.
Before the people living in the nearest
houses could rush to the aid of the unfor-
tunate family all that remained in the
building was the charred corpse of the
mother and that of the baby in her arms.
The children were dragged from the room
with their clothing ablaze, and were in
the most pitiable condition.

tits the right of the people to buy
their necessarles as cheaply as they
can, and though the necessity Of
paying the expenses Of the govern-
ment justifies the indirect taxation
Of the people by taking for the
government duty ON imports, there
is no Justification for raising the
price Of the flecessaries of life TO
every man, rich or poor, prosperous
or starving, simply in order that the
mighty trusts may flourish and
fasten ruin en- the people.
The home market, Of which pro-
tectionlsts prate, is not benefited by
the oppression of the people. 1f
cannot grow when the people are
deprived of the means OF becoming
customers. When the trusts take
from the people the fruits OF their
toll, they take also the means OF be-
coming customers of legitimate in
dustrfes. Impoverishment OF the
people cannot fail to tear down in
stead of building up the home
market.
This year we have at last a coni
sideration Of the rights and interests
of the people. Prosperity depends
upon the restoration OF the rights
of the people, and since the demo-
cratic party alone champions their
cause, it becomes the duty OF the
people to support that party. There
in lies the hope for the future

Constipation is usually a habit of the body induced by prolonged inattention to the calls of nature. It is a condi- tion so perilous to the general health, that it should be relieved as speedily, but judiciously, as possible. People who have allowed themselves to be- come costive and irregular usually try to remedy the evil by the use of violent purgahves, and the result is that the bowels become weakened and the dis order all the more difficult of cure. The medicine best calculated to pro- duce natural movement and at the same time to strengthen the bowels, is Ayers Pills. When taken according to directions, the result is always bene- ficial. A few doses gently stimulate the bowels to healthy action, restore their lost tone, and promote easy evac- nations. No other pill so well supplies the demand of the general public for a safe, certain, and agreeable family medicine. Physicians recommend them. They received the highest awards of the Chicago Worlds Fair Commissioners.

"FLUB-DUB" AND REASON.

Silver and statehood do not go hand in hand, The Gazette to the contrary notwithstanding. Arizona cannot prosper if Popocratic ideas prevail. Look at Kansas From the day the Populists got control of the state ma chinery capital refused to invest there. It still shuns the state. Every other state in which the Populists have se- cured footing has suffered. Why should Arizona be an exception to the rule? Is the Popocratic idea less dan gerous here than elsewhere?
 Who is to furnish the capital to help Arizona in the event. of Bryan's cleo tion? Where is that capital now? If it isn't afraid of Bryanism, why ism it already seeking investment here? There are better gold and copper than silver propositions in the territory There are innumerable opportunities in the irrigation line. The attitude of capital is not in accord with the pre- diction of The Gazette, That Bryan will be elected. Let us look at this question from the standpoint of reason. Capital, accord ing to Bryan and his mouthpieces, is centered in the sound money ranks. If it is not, then Bryan's speeches have norbeen correctly interpreted by the country. Granting that the masses have no capital, and Bryan says they have none, who is to supply the cash Ito reopen the great silver vaults of the mountains" and otherwise make this region the focus of great prosper ity?
 The ratio of fiub-dub to hard reas- oning in the free silver proposition is good deal more than 16 to 1.

BRYAN VS. EXPERIENCE.

Every political economist in the country, every writer of reputation on financial and economic questions, every scientific bimetallist in this country and Europe, all merchants and manu- lecturers, bankers, railroad men-in fact, everybody in the country whose education, experience and calling in life would naturally qualify him to judge of the effect of the free coinage of sil- yer, says that free coinage means 5O-cent dollar.
 The bullion in silver dollar is only worth 50 cents in the market today. The pledge of the government and the limit put on the number of silver dol lars is all that keeps the present silver dollar worth a dollar. Open the mints ito the silver of the world and the silver dollar will have but half of its present purchasing power. Value is a matter of think" of think" based on ex- perience and observation. Our people do not now think that sixteen ounces of silver are worth one ounce of gold no Populist thinks so; no Popoaat thinks so; no Englishman, French man, German, Austrian, Russian Italian, Indian, Mexican or Chinaman thinks SO; MT. Bryan does not think so. MT. Bryan and the rest of the world think, so far as they have any ideas based on the subject at all, that one ounce of gold is worth somewhere
 from thirty Ito thirty-two ounces ot silver.
 This is the present worlds estimate of the relative values of these two com
 modiies at this time. This worlds
 estimate has not been formed hastily
 nor willingly; it has been formed slow
 ly and reluctantly, but this is the uni
 versal estimate which now obtain
 throughout the world.
 Today thirty ounces of silver ar only worth one ounce of gold. Thi is true idhe world over. MT. Bryal himself today would not give up on ounce of gold bullion for less thau
 thirty ounces of silver. That is hi
 idea of the value of the two metals , and all the rest of the world agre with him. But now he not only pro , poses to change his own view on thi ; question of relative values, but t change the opinion of all the rest o
 the world, and proposes to do it within
 the next six months.
 The law which he is going to hay enacted is not going to raise silver t $110 an ounce in terms of gold; it not going to raise it to SIPS an ounce it is not going to raise it to $1.40 a
 ounce, but it is going to raise it t
 $1.29 per ounce, the exact legal ratio. The day will come when the preser followers of Bryan will blush at tn mere mention of the campaign of 1S9,
