BRUTALLY ASSAULTED.
A Newspaper Man Fares Badly at the
Hands of Two BaII.PlayerS.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 14.-Elmer T..
Pasco, a well-known Cleveland news
paper man, was brutally assaulted last
night by Pat Tebeau, manager, and
Jack O'Connor, one of the members of
the Cleveland League team. The three
men met in the cafe of the Kennard
House. The ball players had been
drinking. Tebeau accused Pasco of hav-
ing written story about quarrel be-
tween him and McAleer. Pasco denied
it and finally called Tebeau a liar. Te-
beau knocked PaSco down and it is said
kicked him on his face. Pasco was un-
conscious when pulled away from the
infuriated ball players. He was deliri-
Gus all night and will probably be laid
up for some days. His face was beaten
almost to Jelly. Pasco refuses to
swear out warrants for the arrest Of the
ball players.

The last delegation arrived after sun
set, and came from Cumberland, Md.
They marched up to McKinley's resi-
dence with torches and a band. The
spokesman. George w. Snyder. referred
to the composite character Of the dele
cation and to the fact that Major Nc
Ktnley was stationed in Cumberland
during the war.
Major Mckinley said: II congratulate
you upon the splendid victory achieved
In your State last year. 1t is long time
since addressed a Republican meeting
in the city of Cumberland. When l
spoke to you then passion and hate
characterized the political contest. For
tunately, the passion and prejudice
which then prevailed has disappeared,
and those who were then divided are
now fighting the battle of honest mon
ey and the public honor. You come
from a county distinguished for its rich
coal mining, iron, steel, glass and ce-
ment production, railroad center and
city that ought to enjoy great ma
terial prosperity. Your State has
wrested from the Democratic party its
old-time majority and registered a
splendid Republican victory.
Il give you hospitable greeting. Let
there be repetition this year of the
great victory so decisively and honor
ably won last year. Give US, men of
Allegheny County, in 1896 the same
cause for congratulation, and not only
will Maryland have reason to rejoice,
but all the States will Immediately or
eventually approve your verdict. The
prosperity of the United States for
long time to come and certainly its
honor is involved in the pending cam
paign. Eliminating all minor issues it
is a contest for the preservation of law
and order and the independence and
integrity of the judiciary. 1t Is for the
continuance of honest money-gold, sill
yer and paper-all equal to the best and
everywhere as good as the best, and
the restoration Of the protective tariff
system without which we cannot hope
to have either permanent prosperity
| among our people or sufficient revenue
to support the Government
Engagements for visiting delegations
are still being freely made. Ten new
delegations were booked to-day.

A WOMAN'S AWFUL FATE.
HER BODY CAUGHT IN A REVOLV-
ING SHAFTlNG.
Her Brains Dashed Out and Scattered
Over the Floor, and Everything
Covered With Blood.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14.-Mrs.
Pauline Olevieri, a sack sewer, met
with a terrible death in the Califor-
MIA Italian Paste Companys works, 956
Bryant street, between Sixth and Sew
erth, this morning at 9:15. She was
wound around a narrow upright shaft
locity, and she struck against stan
chion every time she was whirled
around.
Mrs. Olevieri worked on the second
floor Of the building, where the pasting
of boxes is also done. She worked in
the back part of the place, and some
distance from the upright shafting. To
reach the back porch the en-
ployes had to pass the shafting, which
is near the door. 1t is supposed that
Mrs. Olevieri was going out on the
perch at the time and her dress caught
George Devosini, an employe of the
company, found the body. The shaft
was still in motion, but the woman's
body was not revolving. 1t lay on the
floor. The brains were scattered about
on the floor and everything around the
shafting was covered with blood.
Coroner Hawkins was notified and
Deputy Hallet went to the factory to
remove the body. The clothes We're
wound around the shafting in such a
way that they could not be loosened by
tugging, so a knife had to be used. The
clothes We're wound up close to the
body and 1T had to be removed in al
most a nude condition
The right leg and both arms were
broken and the head had been crushed
by the blows against the stanchion.
The deceased had worked for the firm
six or seven years. She was married,
but her husband, John, had been out Of
work for some time. She was .I3 years
old and lived at 75 Converse street

The Senate Of The 55th .conaress.

but the six independent Senators,
aided by six or seven boiling Re-
publicans, Sho were looking long
ingly toward silver. succeeded in
locking every important measure
by hanging silver amendment to it,
and refusing to vote for any bill that
did not include silver measure.
When the 55th Congress CONVEX o.
in the Senate there will be 20 "hold

who will vote for gold and tariff.
OF the 81 remaining, six are Inde-
pendents, including Shoup, Carter,
Mantle, and Cannon. Ofthese Shour
of Idaho, and Garter of Montana
promise tariff votes.
OF the 81 new Senators. 10 are
straight Republicans, s Democrats
4 Silver, and straight Populists.
This makes the straight Repubii

On all questions of finance the
Democratic sound money vote will
be large-probably bringing the
number up to 81. On questions of
tariff the vote will probably stand

with scattering approval frc IN Iude-
pondents and Democrats.
II there are no contests-there is
some danger in kentucky-there
will be a complete Senate-00 mem-

to carry measure. In case OF II tie
the Vice President casts the decid-

In 600.

Mr.. Bryan says that he is going to
continue the fight for Free Silver,
and expects to win in 1900. Mr..
Bryan's predictions always fail to be
verified. 7He National 7ribune's
almost invariably comes true. We
will now say in answer to him:
!. Tho Free Silver question will
never be an issue in another Nation
al campaign.
,. BY 1900 the Free Silver advo-
Gates will be so few that they will
hardly get out of the scattering
column.
Our reasons for this are that the
Free Silver issue is so radically
wrong that it could only hope to
succeed by capturing men at the
outset before they gave the matter
sufficient consideration. As soon as
the advocates Of sound money wax
encd up TO the danger mcnacing the
country, aud began to present the
arguments against it. the evangeli-
zation was very rapid, and Free Sill
yer lost enormously every day the
discussion was contigucd There is
no doubt that as late as August Free
Silver had majority among the
voters of the country, whereas in
November there was recordt d
against 1T the astonishing majority
of more than 100000 votes. Had
the campaign lasted another month
this would probably have doubled.
The discussion will now be continu-
ed as long the Free Silverites make
any stir
The general resumption of pros
perity, and the satisfactory condi-
tion our National finances will as
sumo under the new management,
will take away from the Free Silver
ties the support they got from the
hpanclal situation of the Govern
ment and the people.
The rapid increase in the worlds
production of Gold will produce
monetary changes in another direc-
tion. which will demand attention.
There will in all likelihood be n
number of issues develop before
1900 in regard to domestic aud for
eign policy, which will be SO absorb
ing that Free Silver will be forgot.
en-.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Bryan's splcn-
did stumplng ability will be in de
Inand in 1900, but il will be for the
wrong side of something else than
the money question.

Tho headboard, divided into three
divisions, was engraved as follows
The first, or top, division, John
Allen, just Man"
The second division was engraved,

The third division was similar to
the second, only the hand pointed to
the grave on Johns right, and was
engraved, Second Wife. :"
These three completed tho legends

John Allen as a just man. Tho hasty

Chatter About Changing The Term

As is generally the case after a
Presidential campaign, the reform
ers who always want to be reform
ing our institutions are talking
about the desirability of change in
the term Of the President from four
years to six, seven, or even eight
The disturbance TO business is the
reason offered.
No doubt business has been great
~ disturbed during the past three
months. No doubt business suffers
to some extent III every Presidentia
year. But if this is II good reason
for lcngthening the intervals be-
tween elections from four years to
six, seven or even eight years, it is a
better argument for lengthening
them TO fifteen years or twenty, or
twenty-five. If the Presidential
election with its demand upon the
people for their earnest attention to
political affairs is an evil to be avoid
ed as far as possible, the ideal ar
rangemcnt would be life tenure of
that office. Even then there would
be season of stress and unsettle-
ment whenever n President died (;
but that could be avoided also by
making the Office hereditary.
As between four years and six
years there is this to be said: Sup
posing that Bryan had been elected
last week. If that stupendous mis-
fortune had occurred. would the
business interests of the United
States have regretted the Constitu-
tion provision limiting his term to
four years Would they have been
happier if the country had been
doomed to six, seven or eight years
of poor Bryan before the first op-
portunity to shake off the incubus?
There is always the chance that Il
bad President, a dangerous Presi-
dent, or fool President may get in
TO the White House. In such an
event, the business interests of the
country are decidedly better off with
u four years term.
