SENATOR STISENIAN and Representative
Reese, of this county, have arrived at
that stage of their political travels where
they now find themselves between the
devil and the deep sea. The people of
Cambria county are dreadfulIy in earn
est IN having the salary of their county
treasurer brought down to sum that
Will, IN some fair degree, be commen-
surate with the services and responsible
tiles of that official, while three or four
people who make county treasurers-
vino make senators and make represen-
tatlves-are equally interested in hav-
ing the present exOrbitant salary re-
main as II Is or would be well pleased if
It could be increased.
If the fake bill for the reduction of
the salary of the county treasurer, faith
cred in the senate by Mr.. Sineman and
IN the house 10y Mr.. Reese. had been
signed by Governor Hastings these pa
triots would have been saved world of
trouble They could have then gone to
the people with an unciOus grace pecul-
Iarly their own and pointing with pride
To the act OF assembly reducing the
treasurer's salary IN Cambria county,
posed as the especial friends of the peo-
pie, while the next elected county treas
Urer would have gone into office with a
cold deck up his sleeve and with suit
In court have the act reducing his sala-
~ declared unconstitutional and the
county to pay the costs.
Governor Hastings however blocked
the little game. The bill was so clearly
fake that he had no hesitancy in
throwing 1t overheard.
As 1t Is now late in the session the
probability Is there will be nothing done
and there may be at least one more good
haul out of the treasurer's office.
Messrs. Stineman and Reese may have
some trouble explaining to the taxpay-
ers how the trick was worked.

Senator Cannon of Utah introduced
ON May % an amendment 20 the tariff
bill which Is likely to make trouble for
the Republican leaders and which may
break down the whole protective sys-
tenn. The amendment favOrs the Lubin
scheme Of paying export bounties on
farm products. This scheme is now be-
ing pushed vigorously, not only by its
author, David Lubin, but also by the
oranges of many states and by trades
unions and ministers. 1t makes its fight
inside the ranks of protection and has
already opened more farmers ewes 10
the folly of the system than all of the
tariff reform work that has been done.
Senator Cannon told some plain truths
when introducing this amendment He
spoke in part as follows:
1t was with great surprise, upon an ex-
animation OF the measure, that | found
that the great class of our population
who have from the beginning not only
supported the protective tariff party bv
their votes, but have supported the pro-
tective tariff principle by their industry
from the beginning of its operation,
were IN n large degree excluded from
any OF Its benefits. 1t is, 1 say, to sup
ply very patent omission from the
measure as it now stands that the
amendment Is proposed and will be adj
rocated here until a vote shall be had
thereon.
The bill as it is offered today affords
no protection to agricultural staples.
There is remaining, 1 presume, no ad-
Vocate of the protective tariff system

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Carp Too Much for an Eagle.

Havre-de- Grace, Md, June 10 "A
large bald eagle was captured on the Sus-
quehanna flats yesterday under rather
novel circumstances by Jesse Poplar.
He not only got the eagle, but along
with it 20-pound German carp, which
assisted in the capture of the big bird.
While sailing across the flats Poplar
noticed the eagle pitch out of the air
and strike something iu the water, but
when attempting to rise with his prey
he was instead pulled into the water.
After watching the maneuvers of the
bird a moment it was evident to Poplar
that it could not free itself, as several
times he had been taken entirely under
the water. Poplar hurried to the scene
and found the bird had fastened his tai
ons into a huge German carp.
But little trouble was had in taking
the bird and fish into the boat by means
of a large scoop net, the bird being near
ly exhausted from his ducking. The
eagle has fully recovered, and is fine
specimen. He is Gagged in a large box
and seems to take his Imprisonment
philosophically, eating fresh fish with
a good appetite.

A murder and Suicide Reported.

Pittsburg, June 20.-Word has just
reached here of murder and suicide
near Hamarville. a small town on the
Pittsburg and Western railroad about
fifteen miles from here.
Frank Karns, an employe of the
American Glue works, has been jealous
of his wife for some time and last week
left town supposedly for Chicago. Their
6 year old child was eft with relative,
Alex. Hanna, at Spriugdale, and the
wife went to a friends house to live.
To-day Mrs. Karns went to Spring
dale to visit her child, and as she was
returning and had reached Harrison,
she was met by her husband, who at
once commenced shooting, and before
he quit he shot his wife five times and
himself once. The bullet Karns put
into himself proved fatal in a very short
time and the wife can scarcely survive
the night. Karns was 80 years old and
his wife 80. No other cause than jeal-
ousy is known for the crime.

Wages must go down." says Senator
Elkins in recent interview published
in the Cincinnati Enquirer. Wage
earner.," continued the senator, do
not wish TO see it or believe it, but it
is so" And again he said, Wages in
America stand against any revival of
business.
He was discussing the coal trade He
said. I'VE do not export coal to Europe
because we have wages against us, and
that is the whole kernel of the coal
trade"
Being asked whether black labor was
settled in the mines of West Virginia,
he said:
Firmly. 1t is as effective as white
labor and does not combine and con
spire, and the negro spends all he
makes, while the Italians and Poles
send every cent out of the county,
The senator has just as decided ideas
on the tariff question. He is firmly con-
vincod that protective duties, especially
those on coal, should go up. Tariff up,
wages down. That is what happened
under the Mckinley bill and is what
will happen and in fact is happening
under the Dingley bill. 1t is all done
IN the interest of labor

PIucky Woman Fights Mad Dog.

Pittsburg, Pa, June 21.-Jennie Nc
Steen, an athletic young woman of
Thirty fifth street, had pitched battle
with mad bulldog on Butler street to-
day. The animal first caught her by
the left hand, biting it clear through.
Though the beast weighed not less than
80 pounds Miss McSteen grabbed him by
the collar and swung him round, slung-
shot fashion, and then let him go.
The dog landed on his head in the
middle of the street, but dashed back
and fastened bis teeth in the girls dress
With blood gushing from her hand,
which has the flesh torn from the bone,
the girl fought the brute, picking him
up and throwing him down with force
enough to almost stun him. Having
gotten enough of Athletic Miss McSteen,
the animal ran away, tearing little Min
ME Murphy, who was playing on the
sidewalk, and Joseph Martino. Two
women were bitten by the same animal
later in the day.

THE governor has approved a bill re-
quIring all corporations to deduct from
the wages of aliens sum sufficient
to pay the respective amounts of taxes
assessed against them. A bill has also
passed the legislature imposing tax of
three cents day on each unnatun allied
adult male, the tax to be deducted from
the wages by employers. These enact
ments will have one unintended effect
IN putting premium upon naturaliza-
tlOns. In the case of unnaturalized cit
liens now under contract with corpora
tlons or private individuals it is doubt
ful if such legislation can be enforced.
The states are forbidden to pass any law
Impairing the obligation of contracts.
Unfortunately It was not deemed ne
Ccssary by the makers of the federal con-
stltutiOn to put any bar upon the power
of the states to impair the obligation of
hospitality.

Hot Fight With an Eagle.

Council Bluffs, la June 23.-Mrs.
Chrlstiana Mortensen, who weighs 100
pounds, living near Honey Creek, was
attacked by an eagle while hoeing in her
garden. The bird swooped down upon
her aud with a scream sunk his taIons
deep into the flesh of her shoulders.
Failing on It's effort to bear its prey
away, the eagle beat the woman with its
wings, at the same time tearing her face
and head with its beak, lacerating her
in a frightful manner.
She fought the eagle as best she could
with hand and hoe, but could offer but
little resistance, and finally sunk to the
earth, exhausted, when the eagle sailed
away. She is in critical condition.

Set the wrong Man Free.

Auburn, n. Y, June 19.-John CAT
fiery, of Syracuse, charged with burgla-
ry, Is at large through the blunder of
Edwin Robinson, jailer of the Cayuga
county Jail. He was ordered to release
prisoner named Murphy, but went to
Caffery cell instead. When he opened
the cell door he said: 'Come Murphy.
your time is out. Caffery concealed his
astonlshment and answered: "All
right,
The jailor accompanied the wiley CAT
iery 10 the street door and gave him a
few words of advice, for which Caffery
thanked him and hurried away.
Murphy, who occupied the adjoining
cell, kept quiet until Caffery had got a
good start, when he sent for the jailer
and demanded to be let out.
Murphy was released and Caffery is
still at large.
