The Harrisburg Democratic convention
last week broke the shackles which have so
long round 1t to the money power, and to
treacherous and incompetent leadership,
and planted itself squarely upon the Chicago
platform. Between the platform adopted
at Allentown and the step al Harrisburg
last week there is a wide gulf. The Allen
town declaration was the submission of the
rank and file to the lordly behests of the
few interested in banking. 1t was a mis-.
take, it was a gross injustice to the great
body of the party. Last weeks work rights
that wrong, and places the Keystone Dem
ocracy in the position of laboring for the
greatest good to the greatest number. The
Keystone Democracy has been successfully
relieved of the golden cancer which has
long been threatening its life, and the pros.
poets are bright for a speedy recovery and
great vitality.

CLOSING IN ON THE SULTAN


The rumor is persistent in Europe that
the Powers are closing in on the Sultan.
His rule of bloodshed and infamy has be-
come a stencil in the nostris of the world,
and public opinion seems to be moving to
his overthrow, and possibly to the end of
the Ottoman Empire.
Certainly, the signs are numerous that
something decisive is about to take place.
Sir Philip Currie has had prolonged pri
vate audience with Abdul Hamid, and the
result was the publication Of an trade order
ing the expulsion of Armenians from Con
stantinople to cease. Representatives of the
Powers have had an audience with the
Sheik Vi Islam, head Of the priestly HE
rarchy in Turkey, and the only man who
can legally depose the Sultan. War vessels
are also now assembling, and it begins to
look as though events OF mighty import are
about to take place on the Bosporus.
Great Britain appears to be taking the
initiative, and she is evidently forcing action
upon the powers. What has been agreed
upon and what will be done can only be
conjectured, but the tone of the English
press seems to warrant the inference that
the present Sultan will be deposed, and a
new one set up who will consent to be con-
trolled by the concert of the Powers"
Such action might relieve the situation,
il it did not solve the Turkish problem.
Anything is better than the reign OF cruelty
and assassination that has Mortified Europe
for the past three years.
In the Galveston Neios a scheme is pro.
posed by Mr.. D. c. Imboden, of that city,
for making money plentiful when needed
by an extension OF the clearing house sys.
tenn, to include, first, all the banks in State
in one clearing house, and then all the State
clearing houses into one national clearing
house run by the government. The certif-
Gates Of either the State clearing houses or
the national clearing house would be readily
accepted, Mr.. Imboden thinks, by every
body. In time of stress, for example, a
citizen would apply TO local bank for a
loan. If the bank were unable to accommo-
date him for want of funds to lend him, it
would certify his solvency and submit his
collateral 10 the State clearinghouse and the
latter would issue certificates. The federal
government would stand behind the States
and cash their certificates, being safe
guarded by system of inspection, as at
present in the national banks. The Balti-
more plan would, however, it may be sug-
gested, secure the same results with less risk
and less machinery.

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.
"On the MissIssippi." "


 An uncommonly attractive and thor oughly American title is that of "On the Mississippi" which will be presented at OBriens next Tuesday night The theme and scenes of the play are such as to r'e- quire most lavish display of scenery and a prodlgal use of accessories. Man agers Thomas H. Davis and William T. Keogh have given this play magnih- cent production, and theater patrons In this vicinity will be given chance to see it.
 The play deals with the reckless and somewhat lawless life in the far south immediately after the war MT. William Haworth, it's author, makes vivid use Of the stirring scenes of the Mississippi river, and has woven into romantic tale the incidents of packet day life, the gam bling hells of New Orleans, the historical opera tions of the Kuklux Klan, and the rugged simplicity of the mountaineers of east Tennessee. The comedy features are from real southern types, replete With national humor, and the shifting action of the piece affords a broad and not yet over-cultivated field for the scenic artist. The play figures upon the delivery of a southern adventures and the misfor- tunes of a rich northern gentleman of d susceptible nature who falls into her clutches. It runs through the gamut of the steamboat game In an era when all SOulnefDPrS were more or leSS duulCteu lo cards and when gambling for high stakes was not uncommon on the great river though the gambling hellS were run widd open in the city of New Orleans through the mpenetrable swamps of the Louisiana, the resort of fugitives from justice and the oppressor-through the mountains of east Tennessee, where sim pie and rugged virtue ran hand in hand with la awessness and violence. Five acts and nine complete and different scenes afford an opportunity for the artist that is seldom offered by the modern produc- ton. The opportunity is improved by magnificent stage setting, representing the mountain home of the young heroine and view of the great Weldon range. A semi-tropical picture of a Louisiana swamp with novel effects of electric fire flies, the music of many birds, the croak- ing of frogs, etc. is pronounced by all critics as strkingly beautiful. Then there is the picturesque mardi gras, elab- orately set and expensively costumed, a portraiture of the old-tlme steamboat and elaborate stage effects; the famous levee at New Orleans by night, and so on. The play comes revised and improved from it's successful tour of last year. It takes over fifty people to present ''On the Mis- sissippi." Among them the leading peo- pie are:
 Robert McWade, Jr., J. J. Farrell, AL fred Beverly, Wilson Deal Henry Hans combe, Esther Moore, Valerie Bergere and Josie Sisson.

VALUABLE MINERAL EXHIBIT,

The Thomas exhibit at the Atlanta ex- position, owned by the Pioneer Mining and Manufacturing company, which, was recently turned over to the city of Bir- mingham for a permanent exhibit. was stored away yesterday in the Earnest building. on Morris avenue and Twenty second street. where it will remain until the. enterprising citizens of Birmingham secure for 1t more attractive quarters or put it in condition for public exhibition. This exhibit attracted more attention than any one thing at the exposition from this state, and as it was in reality Birmingham exhibit suggested the idea that it be permanently placed here, that visitors to the city might avail them- selves of the opportunity to see what Birmingham really has in the way of minerals and what she can and does pro duce. The Messrs. Thomas were very lib- eral in lending the property for this pur- pose, and it is to be hoped that the stor- age room may soon be turned into a rendezvous for all strangers who visit the city and desire to see what the Alabama mineral district contains.

WALLER IS FREE.
The French Government Has Pardoned the
 Colored Ex-Consul.


 Washington, Feb 20.-Secretary Olney has received the following dispatch from Amba ssador Eustis, under today's date: President signed this morning Walters pardon Orders are being issued for his release"
 There does not seem to be any intention on the part of-Mr. Walters counsel or of his friends to take advantage of the offer made by the United States ambas- sador, under instructions from the state department, to enter suit for damages in the French courts, with the United States ambassador providing the requisite se- curity for cost. On the contrary the Waller family, finding that the United States. on the facts as disclosed, decline to make an international affair out of Walters offense, are contemplating his return to Kansas from which state he was originally appointed consul to Tamatave, Madagascar. Mrs Waller is said to be al present in Baltimore making arrange ments for this purpose. Nothing has been heard from Waller directly by his family for three or four weeks, according to the statement made by his daughter

 Quite a stormy interview took place between pr. Hunter and Governor Brad ley, in the governors office this after noon. over an editorial published in the Louisville Commercial of yesterday. The editorial said the admirers of Bradley wished to put him forward for the pres- dency. but that he would have very poor show for the nomination if it should appear from his action or non-action that free silver senator was elected. It said further that justly or unjustly Bradley would be held responsible for the election of free silver senator. Gov ernor Bradley read the editorial to Dr.. Hunter and asked him to make state ment that the editorial did him (Brad- ley) an injustice, but this Dr. Hunter re- fused to do. The interview created quite a stir among politicians here.

Jackson have induced him to enter the race for the office of commissioner from the Third district and this morning he makes his announcement as a candidate before the democratic primary.

He has large property in- terests here. and is deeply interested Tn the welfare of the county. His friends say that he is an economist and man of progress, and if elected will not permit the great public work to cease for a moa ment yet that he will ever hold in view the welfare of the taxpayer and the gen! eral credit of Jefferson. ic s9

LICKED THE POSSE.
Two Barkeepers Killed One and Wounded
 Several Others.

several tuners.
 Washington, Feb. 20-Jackson City Va, at the Virginia end of the long bridge leading across from Washington to the Old Dominion, a place that has all along been the resort of thieves and the lower element that follows the race track, was tonight the scene of tragedy in which one man was killed and three wounded.
 Six deputies of Sheriff Palmer of Alex andria county made a raid upon sa- loon kept by John Nelson. They ex- pected to find the stolen property and gambling paraphernalia. AS the posse entered the place Nelson became aware of their intentions and immediately be- gan firing. Harry Chandler, the bar tender, followed his employers example, and a fusilaed of bullets met the officers. About twenty or thirty people were in the saloon at the time, but fled. The at tack of Nelson and his bartender took the officers unawares, and before they could draw their weapons Special Deputy Henry Hines, colred, was instantly kill ed. Special Deputy Johnson was shot in the neck and Deputy Ed Deuterman re- ceived a bullet in the chin, which laid him prostrate Charles O'Neill, known as Peg O'Neill. by reason of his having a wooden leg, and who was hanger on at the saloon, came to the assistance of the posse and received a bullet in the eye from the pistol of Nelson.
 Nelson and Chandler fled and the wounded men were brought to the Emer- gency hospital at Washington. where they received medical attendance. The bullets were extracted from Johnson's neck and ONeills eye. Dueterman seemed the worst injured, but the phy- sicians do not look for fatal results in either case.
 The saloon keeper was so active in using his weapons that the shsPiff's posse were able to make very little show inc if, Their ra i'd In0n the Ia NV hrealkars
