Washington, D. C, Sept. 13,1889.
' 'Corporal" Tanner is gone. The Pension office will know bim no more, at least
not as its chief. He will, of course, continue to draw his pension. The long
wrangle between the "Corporal" and Secretary Noble reached its culminating point
this week wben the Secretary suspended
Tanner from offioe.. Tanner then sent in
his resignation to President Harrison, who
very promptly accepted it. The President
felt greatly relieved when Tanner's resignation was banded him, as tbe situation
bad become decidedly embarrassing for
Harrison.
General Hosecrans, the Democratic veteran wbo bas been Register of the Treasury since the early days of Mr. Cleveland's
administration, was removed by rumor
tills week to make a place for Tanner. As
usual, rumor lied. Gen. Rosecrans has
not been removed, aad I have it from higb
Republican authority that he will not be
disturbed d-HrinMHan-ison's administration. My inforaTnt gave two reasons
wby : Many 6. M i. men had asked for
his retention, and Aeis Ctiuuucey Depew's
relative by marriaJa.
The sudden and unexpected death - of
Representative S. 8. ("Sunset") Cox in
Saw York caused great grief in Washington. Hk loss will he felt by the country
especially and by the Democratic party,
and it will be difficult, if not impossible,
t > till bis plac?. His was a rare nature;
scarcely duplicated in a century. Personally theie was never a more popular man
in Congress. Nearly every person one
meets here bas some personal anecdote to
tell oi him. Tke clerk of the House appointed the following Representatives to
take charge of his funeral, which took
place in Hew York to-day : Messrs. Carlisle, Randall, Holman, Felix, Campbell,
Ser.ey, Heard, Mncbler, Kelley, McKinley,
Cannon, Beed, Barrows, and O'Neil of
Pennsylvania.
Think of it, my country men, tbe rolls of
the Pension office contained on the last
day of Jane 480,725 pensioners and is still
increasing. Tbe figures are from an official statement just issueS.
Secretary Proctor is laying the wires to
succeed Senator Morrill, of Vermont,
whose term expiree in 1891, ami Senator
Edmunds it doing all he can to assist him.
There is trouble in tbe office of tbe
Coast Survey. Poor years ago Mr. Cleveland removed tbe Superintendent of tbe
office, and several clerks, for crookedness,
and now it is alleged tbat tbe assistants at
present in charge of the office make a practice of obtaining money in a dishonorable
way, .Secretary Windom will probably
order an investigation.
Representative Norwood, of Georgia,
bas a level bead. He says : "I think the
World's Fair of 1892 wili be held in Washington. It is tiie proper place for it—the
only place where it could hare a national
character. Tbe celebration must be national, must be tbe celebration of the
wbo'e people—every man, woman and
child—and must be held at the national
capital. The southern congressmen are
all for Washington.
Ex-Senator Riddleberger, of Virginia,
bas returned to the Democratic party. He
will stump Virginia in opposition to Mahone. i

THE DIFFERENCE.
Tlie great strike of the workmen on
the Loudon wharves has been quite a relief to the defenders of the American
monopoly tariff who for the past six
months have been rather roughly bandied
concerning the strikes wbich have pre
vailed in all parts of this tariff protected
•couutry. They point to the London labor
disturbance as proof that free trade isn't
any more effective than a tariff in preventing strikes. Is not this a pitiful
begging of the question on the part of
the people who favor a high tariff for tbe
alleged reason that it promotes the pros-
ferity of workiugmen ? It is virtually
an admission that, after all, tbeir pet
tariff isn't any better than free trade in
maintaining the wages of those who liw
by their labor.
But ia looking at this matter they overlook an important faet. Tbe strikes in
this country are generally against a redaction of wages, tbe tendency being
towards a reduction under our protective
system. The strike of the wharfingers
was for an increase of wages, the tendency in all departments of English industry
being ia the direction of an advance in
the compensation of labor. In all tbe
various Unas of manufacture and in the
mining industries tbe wages of tbe English workmen bave increased about a
hundred per cent, since tbe customs reforms were brought about by Cobden
and his followers. The pay of such laborers as stevedores and wharfingers
lagged in the general advance made in
other lines of labor, and they struck for
their share of tbe improved prosperity
•enjoyed by the workers in the factories
and mines. It is not difficult to see that
nuch a strike tot an increase of pay is
qui__e different from the struggle wbich
the tariff protected working people of the
United States are making against a reduction of their wages to the starvation
point.— Bellefonte Watchman.

The condition of public education
Virginia, ia common .tttt a majority
the Southern States, is not snob as would
especially gratify a citizen of Ohio, New
York or New England. It must be remembered, however, that the public sehool
system here has but the immature growth
of twenty-five years, and we sbould hardly
expect, as in the North and West, the
bloom ofa century plant. Nearly all the
Southern States have good school laws, in
some respects superior to their northern
neighbors; but tbese laws are iu advance
of public sentiment. In some of the cities
very eood schools are supported, as well
as quite a number of excellent normal
schools, both for tbe eolored and the white
teachers. Iu the rural districts tbe contrary is true. The land and property owners who are obliged to pay all the school
tax to support the dual system of colored
and white schools in the same .territory,
never patronize tbem; hence it is natural
tbat fbey feel no very lively interest except
to make the tax as light as possible;
neither do they evince a great anxiety as
to tiie manner of its disbursement. In
their present condition no intelligent parent
North ec South would consent to place
their children in these schools, neither oan
the be immediately changed without an
outlay of money, which the tax-payers
under the heavy State and municipal bur-
dens, however inclined to greater libprality,
are Uttle abe to furnish. None of the
Southern States have a sobool fund sufficiently large to assist materially in supplementing these efforts.
Virginia has tbe township, or large district system, with county superintendents;
bnt these officers are often political proteges, not occupying the position on ac-
count of any remarkable ability or fitness.
The school buildings in the rural districts
are generally rented or loaned as a free
gilt by some neighboring plauter, and are
often not more adapted to the purpose ofa
school tban an average negro cabin.
The white people who patronize these
schools, are themselves very little interested inthe education of Ibeir children;
hence when in session, the attendance is
irregular and the text books and the
simplest school-room necessities are
notoriously lacking. Tbe negroes show
a gi eater interest ia their schools than the
whites, not so much because tbey have any
particular appreciation of the advantages
of an education, bat because as in voting,
the exercise of anew found privilege gives
them special pleasure. Tbeir schools are
better attended because they are naturally
more gregarious than the whites, and tbe
children like to go to school; but being
taught by persons of their own color, the
discipline is lax, and the teachers, as a
rule, are less capable and efficient.
There are many excellent private schools
wbich draw their patronage from the
North as well as from tbe Soutb. In
many cases two or tbree families unite and
employ a private governess nntil tbeir
children are old enough to be placed in
some institution of learning.
The churoh organizations of the South
outside of cities, are in a better condition
than the schools. The Episcopal churches
generally embrace the wealth and intelligence, the Methodists have the largest
with, and the Baptists tbe largest colored
membership. The church buildings are
generally neat and commodious, and extra
ohurch revival meetings are frequent and
interesting. For two or three weeks in
September the colored brethren are so devoted to tbeir ohurch meeting that farm
labor is exceedingly difficult to obtaiu.
The social classes of tbe South consist of
the "old families," which constitute tbe
aristocracy, and their title is not measured
by their bank account, literary attainments or plantation acres, bnt by ancient
family respectability and gentlemanly instincts. Small farmers or former overseers, '"slave dealers," mechanics, "rent-
em," and tbose wbo *'do business," constitute the middle class, wbile the day
laborers or "poo' white trash before the
wa," include the balance oi the white
population. The negroes are also divided
into two classes, the respeotable pr
"church negro," Mid the "low-down, no-
account nigger," the latter being those
wbo rob the henroosts, potato and melon
patches of their more enterprising brethen.
BeWei.ii tfiese several classes strict social
lines are drawn, tha aristocratic and middle classes seldom mingle socially, seldom
accept or receive visits,   and
white man would never think of accepting
an invitation to sit at the table of one of
the "old families," and a negro would despise a white man who would invite him
to eat at his table, but any one can enter
the cabin of Annt Lucy and Uncle Remus
and eat the toothsome "hoe-cake," roas'
pig or fried chicken without reproach.
In trouble, sickness or death all meet on
a common level, and there can be no more
generous or sympathetic people, ready to
sacrifice self to any good aM to any person
whether high or low, black or white. It
is not an uncommon sight to see the
daughter of a F. F. V. acting as nurse to
Aunt Cbloe, or bringing dainties prepared
bv her own band, to tempt tiie appetite of
Uncle Jim. Among the aristocratic and
middle classes a man's word is bis bond,
and to distrust a mau's pledge, is to deeply offend. It must not be understood,
however, tbat all are thus honorable, but
suoh as have no regard for tbeir honor in
this respect are soon relegated to their
compeers, as being ''no bigger tban a nigger," whatever their wealth or relationship.
The moral character of Southern society
is above tbe breath 'of suspicion. In no
Bection of the Anglo-Saxon race is the parity of family so carefully guarded as in the
aristocratic and middle classes of the
South. Scandal has scarcely a place in
history, and no crime is so quickly and
emphatically punished as one against social
purity. fessi
Among the negroes, marriage ia little
more tban a form, illegitimacy is so common as to cause no remark. One negro
often "takes up" consecutively with two
or three women without marriage, and
Annt Maria often leaves the '*no account
old man" to take up with a dusky brother.
No attention is paid to the violation of the
law in this matter, and 'this condition of
things is getting worse every year, and
what wilt be the end is hard to surmise.
Tbere can be no question that dissipation
aod consequent disease, and lack of domes-
tie comforts are undermining tbe constitutional health of the negro race. Improvident and careless, without proper nursing
and medical attendance, (the old nnrses of
slave times having disappeared,) the death
rate is rapidly increasing. Consumption
and pneumonia are oommon among the
negroes in sections where it is unknown
among tbe whiten; children often dying at
the age of twelve or fifteen. Although
births are frequent, yet tbe mortality
among infants fit frightful, and from year
te year there is no evidence of improvement; even tbe physician's orders and
directions are habitually disregarded,
through ignorance.
It seems almost certain that the next
generation WUl show a physical constitutional degeneracy, which will point with
no uncertain finger to the destiny of the
negro race.
THE DEATH OF SONSET OOX.

tember30, 1884. __
New York, Sept. 10.—Congressman
Sunset Cox died at 8.33 o'clock this evening. The end was quiet, and tbe dying
man breathed his last as peacefully as if
falling into a light sleep. Mrs. Cox, wbo
had been scarcely away from her husband's
bedside for tbe past two days and night,
beld bis left band while bis old. friend
Douglas Taylor, held the other. He had
been conscious all day, until about a quarter of an hour before his end. Dr. Lock-
wood in attendance at tbe time. Nicholas
Kearney. William Hirshtield, two nurses,
two servants were in tbe room also. All
knelt about the bed. Mr. Cox's last conversation was about thp four territories
whose statehood be had hoped tp father.
He mentioned New Mexico and Xrisona,
and said something about making a great
effort in their behalf at tbe ooming session.
Two hours before he died his colored servant, who bad just come on from Washington, went to the bed, and Mrs. Cox
asked her husband if be recognized him.
Ha looked at him, and patted him on the
Shoulders.   The colored i_-_u_'-> eyes  filled
with tears, while all were deeply affected.
Dr. Lockwood said that the immediate
cause of death was heart failure. Telegrams were sent to the sergeant-at-arms
of the boose of representatives, J. P. Lee-
dom and to Speaker Carlisle.
In the afternoon, while Dr. Lockwosd
was talking to him, Mr. Cox made some
witty remark whioh completely upset the
doctor's dignity. Late in the afternoon
telegrams were sent to Mr. Cox's three
sisters, two of whom live in Zanesville,
Ohio, tap other living in St. Louis. Mr.
Coat's nephew, who is superintendent of
the Smithsonian Institute, Washington,
was also telepriphed for.

That  There Have Been
Wrecks at Sea.

Atlantic City, Sept. 18.—Rain set in
this morning, and tbo weather cleik says
there are no indications of a change. At
daylight this morning work was commenced on the beach and at other points,
strengthening tbe remaining buildings and
clearing away the wrecks of the old ones.
Fears of Wrecks at Sea.
In walking the beach early this morning
a portion of an old wreck was observed
lying at tbe foot of Missouri avenue. It
was found to be the wreck of tbe Breakwater, whioh foundered seven years ago
just opposite this city, or directly on a line
with Howard's pier. Collectors of mementoes of the storm of September 10, 11
and 12, 1789, drew the bolt from tbe halt
Forty feet of the new iron pier pavilion is
jammed agaiust the rink at tbe foot of
South Carolina, avenue, and fears are entertained that tbe evening tide will loosen
the wreck and damage property yet standing at tha; point.
Along the beach tbere are appearances
of wrecks at sea. Tbe life saving people
are keeping a sharp lookout for vessels ia
distress. It is now thought tbat a portion
of a wreck said to have been seen floating
near the iron pier was the cause of damage
to that structure.
A lead pencil message was received tbis
morning from Somers Point, N. J., regarding tbe havoc made by the storm at
that point.
Preceding the storm the waters of Great
Egg Harbor bay glowed with pbosporus.
Tbe beach is greatly washed, but no great
damage has been done to hotel or cottage
property. Tbe schooner Arthur, a wrecking vessel, broke away from ber moorings
bnt was finally caught by ber anchors.
A schooner laden with wood is. ashore
at Shaddock's bar.

Hawk's Nest shoal on Monday. Tbe crew
took to the rigging, where they remained
clinging to the ropes for nearly forty
hours. The men were nearly exhausted
when rescued by those on the tug. It was
impossible for the tag to approach the
stranded schooner nearer than twenty
yards, and tbe men in tbe rigging were directed to jump overboard. As each man
struck tbe water, a rope wonld be thrown
him and he would ha lifted on board the
tag. Shortly after tha Morse went on the

no lives have been lost, but.tbe following
properties bave been destroyed:
Meech's house and pavilion, Dubois cottage, Rodger's house and pavilion, Burk's
two houses and the houses of Dr. Hutch-
enson, Nedham, Babcock and Isle, eleven

is a total loss and part of the seawall is
gone. Anglesea is not submerged as reported, but thos far escaped with bnt lit--
tie damage, the pfer being the greatest
loss sustained. Tbese points, also Sea Isle
City and Avalon, are entirely cut off from
communication both by rail and telegraph

Wallace and Tonawanda, and two others
names unknown.
Also, a vessel sunk ofl the Brown shoals.
All tho crew were drowned but two, who
got ashore on a raft. Also, another vessel
in regard to which there is a dispute as to
her being a bark or a threo masted schooner, as her top masts only oan be discovered
as sbe is sunk on the Shears shoals. It is
not known whether her crew escaped.
Tbe Less ol Ufe.
The total number of lives lost will probably exceed forty. Five of the eight men
who composed the crew of the E. & L.
Bryan, perished where the vessel struck,
on Brandywine shoals. The mate and two
seamen caught a spar and drifted all
night. At daybreak the otbers discovered
thar one of the sailors was dead, his body
still lashed to the spar. The two survivors were picked up by a tug, and brought
to Lewes. There is great concern over the
crew of pilot boat Ebe Tunnell. She put
to sea on Monday and has uot been beard
from. Pilots John Barnes, Lewis Bert-
nwd, and James Bowman,Harry Hickman
son of Harbeson Hickman, and crew of
eight men were on board. The New Jersey pilot boat Edmunds was blown across
the bay and lies grounded on the Jersey
coast, with her sails in tatters. New
Tork pilot No. 6 was driven in from the
eea, but made anchorage safely. An unknown schooner is ashore at Rehoboth,
and the coast for miles down is reported
to be strewn with wreoks. News comes
from Ruhoboth tbat the surf is breaking
over the Bright House porch, that Surf
avenqe is entirely washei away, and that
the Douglass House is entirely surrounded
by water, and its inmates are in great terror. Three vessels previously reported
lost outside the capes are the schooners
Kate E. Morse, Walter E Parker, Mid J.
D. Bryan. Two meu aloue, a colored man
and a German, have come ashore as survivors from these wrecks. They were on
a raft from 5 p. m. Monday to 9 a. m. yesterday. The other fifteen who composed
the crews of tbese schooners are given up
for ktst.

Harrison upon the subject, says, that tbe
vacancy created by Commissioner Tanner's
resignation will sot be filled in haste, that
sometime may elapse before a successor is
annonuced. In the meantime, Mr. Tanner
may take a leave of abseuce. Another
office to whieh rumor assigns the commissioner, is that of recorder gf deeds, at the
District of. Columbia, one of tin most
lucrative in <*;> gift of tbe president. Mr.
Tanner said tV*/jy ; "The president did
not ask for my resignation, nor did he advise me to resign. He assured me, however, tbat an investigation into the affairs
of the pension office had developed nothing that reflected upon my honesty, or my
intentions, and said that if I remained ill
oflice Secretary Noble would resign. Dismemberment of the cabinet is a very serious thing, and I decided that it was better that I should resign, since the unreasonable prejudices of Mr. Noble oould not
be overcome."
The Minnesota State Fair.
St. Paul, Max., Sept. 10, 1889.
The Minnesota State Fair ta being held
here this week and the city is full df strangers. The principal street in this oity is
lit up with thousands of colored gas lights
and everything has a holiday appearance.
The writer had the good fortune to visit
the Fair Grounds on Monday and wae
delighted to see the fine displays on exhibition there.
Many of onr Pennsylvania people have
tbe wrong conception of the resources of
the Northwestern States aod Territories;
especially in the agricultural line.
At this fair the Northern Pacific Railroad has tbe finest display of all kinds of
grain, frnit, vegetables, lumber &c, that
I have ever seen. This exhibit is made
up entirely of products from the Northern
Pacific conntry, embracing Minnesota,
North Dakota, Montana, Idaho. Washington and Oregon Territories. One of the
features of this display was the difierent
kinds of wood grown on the Pacific slope.
A finished door in red cedar and an orange
fir plank three feet, seven inches wide.
There must be some wonderful timber
in these territories of which I will have
more to say hereafter.
The main exhibition building is filled
with different kinds of exhibits, mostly hf
merchants from St. Paul and Minneapolis.
This building and machinery hall are
about tbe only two buildings in wbich
these people are behind tbe eastern people.
The only exhibits iu machinery hall are
the displays of steam Fire Engines and
Hose Carts by the Waterhouse Engine
Works Co., of St. Paul, and J. G. Owens
& Co., Minneapolis, of Fanning Mills and
Grain Cleaners.
Near the main bnilding ara two large
buildings filled with all kinds of agricultural implements,.all with power attached
aud doing different kinds of work.
The greatest thing at this fair is the dis.
play of live stock. They bave twelve
large buildings filled with the finest kinds
ofPercheron Horses and Holstein, Jersey
and Devon Cattle. Many of tbe horses
and cattle ue imported stock and it can
be easily seen that the Minnesota farmers
understand how to raise good stock.
They bad also a very nice display of poultry, sheep and swine.
In the afternoon I returned to St. Paul
and met an old friend, Mr. E. H. MoGinley,
wbo originally came from Lebanon and is
now a buyer for Linekes, Warner &
Schurweier, * wholesale dealers in Dry
Goods, <&c., in this enterprising city.
Through the kindness of Mr. MoGinley I
was shown through this immeuse establishment, six stories high and each story
filled with goods. I was pleased to know
that Mr. McGinley is doing well in tbis
western country, and as he expresses it,
he says:—The luckiest tbing he ever did,
was the day he packed his trunk and left
Lebanon.
On Monday afternoon I left St. Paul for
Livingston, Mont., and the Yellowstone
National Park, and my next letter will be
from the latter place.

Under New Management.
The Lebanon Grays on Saturday were
placed under under a new management
as the following letter will explain.
Middle States League   ?
Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. IS, 1889.  \    .
My Deab Sir :—You are hereby notified tbat the base ball club whioh you
represent has this day been selected ta
fill the vacancy occasioned by the expulsion of the tdBb represented by Joseph
Buck, of Lebanon.
Yoa will {day the remaining schedule
games whicb were to have been played
by Buck's club.
* /Mr.  Buck owes the League $98.37,
whicb please remit.
Very Kespectfully,
W. II. Voltz, Pres't.
In accordance with the above the Lebanon Gravs will remain in the Middle
States League, for the next year. The
above sum of $98.37 has been forwarded
to President Voltz and the further sum
owed by Mr. Buck to the players, $60.95
has also been assumed and paid to those
entitled.
Tbis city is destined to play a prominent part in base ball next season
through the formation of a base ball club
which will command players of a higb
order. With tbis object ta view lft*.
Solon Wonders quietly solicited shares
for Ibe organization of a new club and
met witb surprising results. Great
credit is due him for his efficient work.
Tbe shares shall not exceed 500, and
their par value is $10 per share. Of tbis
n»jo»,*«r be disposed 300 sharea to the
Messrs. Freeman and on Thursday and
Friday disposed of all tbe rest to lovers
of the game in Lebanon.
The stockholder* met on Saturday evening at the Eagle llotel, and effected a
permanent organization as follows:
Directors, M. W. Beinoehl, J. B. Karch,
D. M. Sharp, & W. Huston, J. G.
Hnmes. Officers, President, M. W.
U-iujeUl; secretary, J. 6. Humes; treasurer, J. B. Karch.
The management of the Lebanon Grays
has passed to the new organization, and
will be continued to tbe close of this season.
The games will ba played at Penryn
Park. With a capital of $5,000 a club
should be secured which will be able to
cope with any of those ia the Middle
States League.
Base Bait Next Season.
The probabilities are that next season
Lebanon will bave one of the best ball
teams in the Middle States League, if
such an organization exists next season.
A stock company is to be organized,
having a capital of $5,000 to $10,000,
divided into $10 shares. Such a sum can
be readily raised so that from a financial
standpoint it will be a success. Some of
the most prominent men ia the county
are interested in the matter and several
thousand dollars have already been subscribed. It is indeed, no longer a matter
of conjecture, but a positive fact that
Lebanon will have a club next season
with ample financial backing.

Sharpers at Work.
Col. I.l«*   Accompanies One at Tbem,
Bat Become* Snsplcious.
Last week several sharpers visited this
place and tried to secure a parlor and
bedroom for several days, and, it seems,
succeeded. Thursday morning tbe
bunco steerers made an effort to fleece
Col. Jobn H. Lick of some of bis surplus
casb by inviting him into their parlor.
The Colonel stales that one of the men
introduced bimself as a relative of the
Messrs. Brock, of the Lebanon furnaces,
and that he was connected with tbe getting up and sale of a fine history of Pennsylvania, or Lebanon county, we have
forgotten which, and tbat he was particularly anxious to have the Colonel go
with him and inspect tbe same, to which
the Colonel consented. On the way to
the place the fellow spoke of his family,
and incidentally asked Mr. Lick whether
he knew where he could purchase a good
family horse. When the house was
reached both men entered it, but when
the Colonel espied a man at the table,
his suspicions became aroused and he
readily discovered that he had fallen into
tbe bands of bunco steeiers, and with
anger he turned on his heels and left the
premises in disgust.
Real Ealiate Transfer.
Mr. George S. Fasnacht has sold to Mr.
Henry B. Stover, a house and lot in
North Lebanon township. Consideration $700.

Annville township. The farm consists

$177 per acre, amount-ng to about $15,-
300.
W. D. Zehnder bas sold a lot fronting
34 feet 9 inches on the south side of Cumberland street, to ' IL A. Gross for
$1,822, St.
David Bauch has sold to Grant Carver
a lot of ground on thirteenth street.
_ Why People Lose Sight.
The Lancaster Inquirer says: *£z
Webster Fox, formerly of Millers^nle
and Hummelstown, ta the journal rf>f the
Franklin Institute, maintains t!*tt the
majority of blind people have, 'lost I heii
sight from went of proper care duriug
infancy, and that nurses or mothers who
heedlessly expose an infant's eyes to the
glare of the sun for hours may be lay iug
the foundation of the most serious evils.
He protested against permitting young
children to use their eyes ia study, .md
declares that the eye is not strong enough
for school work nntil the age of 7 or 9.
Children should not be allowed to study
much by artificial light before the ag8 of
10, and books printed in small type s.tould
be absolutely prohibited ia the school
room."

ability cannot be doubted and wbo is
supported by a corps of thoroughly com-1
petent Democratic writers.   If the first j
