H, Williams, of the Atlantic Transportation line, bound out for London, yesterday afternoon, in the Pntapseo. Chief Engineer Y. M. Yong of the Montana was killed. The Montana sailed from her pier at Locust Point about noon. 'About two o’clock her journals becoming slightly heated, she anchored in Craig Hill channel, in uhe Patapseo river, opposite Sparrow Point, The heavy wind blcwing at the time fr>ui* the North, kept her head to the shore, so that she lay across the charnel. At half .past two o’clock iihe steamer Main bore down the channel on her way to Baltimore. In endeavor* ing to pass to the stern of the Montana, she plunged Into the freighter’s stir* board quarter, cutting a hole half way through her large enough to drive a horse and wagon into. The crew of the Mon* tana saved themselves by clambering to the decks of the Main over her chains. Chief Engineer Yong, of the Montana, was Instantly killed by a falling boom, which crushed his skull. Nobody else was injured. So far as knowu the Mai a is not damaged. When the Main bac'ted out of the hole the Montana begaq to sink. Her stern and midships are under water; the bow is above water. There was not much excitement among the Main’s 2.11 passengers. The Main is now anchored about one thousand feet from the wreck. She will come up to port to-day. The Montana is valued at $300,000, and is fully insured in British and American companies. The value of her cargo can not hft learned. It included 214 head of caitle, 3,000 bags of flour, grain, logs and lumber, cotton, canned goods, etc. Many of the cattle wive drowned. Those in stalls in the bow were standing in water. A few of them swam ashore. The sea was very , heavy and tugs could not get alongside j the Montana. This was Captain Moller’s j one hundred and second voyage nei"Oss the Atlantic. A month ago on the occasion of the completion of his ono hundredth voyage, he was banqueted in this city, and in a speech, he said he never had had an accident.

T.—On Wednesday next, January !>. the Legislature of West Virginia will convene in vrhat promises to be the most remarkable session it. the history of the State. Aside from the or* ganization of the two houses, tvhieh will be of exceptional interest because of the nearly equally division of the membership of the two great parties, there will be the sharpest kind of a struggle over the election of a United States Senator, and also the settlement of the routes' for Governor, while outside and beyond this, the Republicans are threatening, in retaliation for the contest brought by J udge Fleming, to institute like proceed in; fs in the cases of all the other State officew, and dispute the election of every one of the Democratic ofBccrs-elect, including the members of the Supreme Court. Agent Leman, direct from Charleston, says that the prominent party leader s of both sides arc on hand to assist their friends in the organization of the legislature and the settlement of the gubernatorial question. The “whips” of each side have notified their people that no absenteeism must occur, as thcro ii too much at stake. The movements am', result will be watched with the deepes t interest in W ashington.

Indianapolis, Iud.» Jan. 7*—When tho Indiana General Assembly convenes neG Thursday it will open with a row iti the Senate. ' Already many of the members are here, and the Democratic Senators declare that it is their determination that Colonel Robertson shall not preside over the Senate. The course that will piobab]y lie pursued will be to elect a president pro tern., and then to refuse to allow Robertson to preside over the body. Rob - ertson has declared himself. “I shall do my duty,” ho says. “That Is. to go as the legally-elected Lieutenant Governor of Indiana. and open the session of the legislature January 10. 1 shall, as before, take whatever action the Republican party thinks necessary. The 8enalc, at its last adjournment, did not elect a president pro tern, to succeed Green Smith, and consequently their own falsa claim falls to the ground.”_ A~ TOTAL* WRECK.

A GIGANTIC ROBBERY. Democrats Most Continue to Agtt«tc the Yxrlff-Kcforsn tjuc'loa. Tbo campaign of 1893 opens with the discussion of Ate AllSson bit! iu the !o measure was ever introduced in tho donate of the United States so full of ir#quity. It reeks with the communistic spirit of thU rich. It is the holdest attempt yet made by organised Plutocracy to rob the toiling millions of America. Inei iero is not a line in it devised for tho benefit of tho ** forgotten man.’’ the American consumer. When the progress oil invention and the advance of meehaniejal science have revolutionized an industry and have reduced the cost of production immensely, as, for instance, indhe manufacture of steel, the Republicans! make a slight concession that costs them nothing and benefits no one. To reduce the lax on steel rails from $17 to $15. 68 neither lessens the revenue of the Government nor reduces taxation nor lessens the grip of Carnegie on the industnos of America. Building materials are not reduced; in many instances there; is an advance. Pig-iron is still to bo taxed $6.73, in order to protect rich capitalists who have badly located furnaces where it costs $15 to make iron that in properly located furnaces can be made for $8 or no

Wool, now taxed ton' cents, is to be taxed eleven cents, simply as an excuse to advance the taxi on every article into which wool enters. The whole bill is a bill of conspirators leagued against the welfare of the Republic. clamor made it necessary to seen^o yield something to the people, but financial necessities required some compact with thei robber barons of the North and East. Foster’s “fat-frying” circular brought few responses until AllisonV substitute for the MiHs bill was intros duccd into the Senate. That bill was heralded by such journals as the Chicago Tribune as a bill to reduce taxes, but the manufacturers and monopolists, the sugar trust and the steel rail trust, knew better than this. They wore tariff experts. amL understood the effect of every tine off the bill. It was the bond by which these highwaymen were to be authorwed to pillage the people under the guise of protection far four years longer, and when the Republican leaders Anally committed themselves to the bill, “fat” (lowed freely. Theso facts must be driven homo to the minds of tho people. It is a matter ot profound importance, which is not to be estimated in dollars and cents. Gigantic as the robbery; is, the use to which money is put in corrupting the very sources of government is a subject of even more serious interest. Money has silenced every advocate of tariff reform in the Republican party. Senator Allison has sold his birthright for a moss «f pottage, and wo arc to be dragged at the wheels of the triumphal chariots! of the money power. The work he Ss doing he has been chosen to do, because once ho stood as the “Son of the Morning,” pleading for the rights of his people, but, like Lucifer, ho has fallen, never to rise again. Let tho Democrats now organize to carry on the work begjun bo well during the past year. It will not do to rest awhile and wait for our foes to blunder upon defoat. From this time on wet must push the lighting, learning from Beauregard at Bull Run and Meade at Gettysburg, and not give tho enemy time for rest and recuperation. The people are with ns, our popular majority being 100,000, but to do the work to whieh wo have set our hands we need to overwhelm the friends of Plutocracy at ov&y point. In tho debate in the House, tremendous effect was produced on tho public mind, which was widened and deepened as the campaign proceeded. That effect must not grow dim. Democrats should organize in every school district in America, and this organization should be carried down even to blocks of five. While tho Republicans are quarreling over the distribution of offices, let Democrats sot themselves to the work of education, and before the next year closes let them put in the hands of every voter documents exposing the infamous character of the war tariff. The National Association of Democratic clubs, or, to use the old Jefferson phrase. Democratic societies, should be perfected and extended. Chauncey F. Black, York, Pa., is tho president of tho National organization, and societies in all sections of the country should! place themselves in communication with him. There was never a more propitious time for a movement all along the line. It Democrats who bclievo in the principles of the party ' will enter on tho campaign now: if in every State and every district Democratic societies are organized at once; if the distinction between the principles and practices of the two parties are made plain as every public measure comos under discussion, the complexion of the next House can be determined before the new Congress meets, end the results of tho election of 1892 may be determined in advance. In that contest the people must decide between Democracy and Plutocracy. and the differences between the two should be made to plain that no foot need err therein.—Levievillo Courier-Journal. POOR OLD HARRISON. tk* t-Elect Mat the OimculMes Hare to Meet. In his letter of acceptance Harrison recognised and pledged himself to resist. the spoils appetite ot his party. “I know,” he said, “the practical difficulties attending the attempt to apply the Civil-Service rules to ail appointments and removals. It will, however, be my sincere fmeposo, if the reform.” to the same effect, of

warning Republican* that they must “cordially recognise’* his position on the subject. “ These expressions.” it says, “construed together, show the extent to which the Republican party Is pledged not only to an observance of tho Civil-Service law, but of the idea and principles on which it rests, via: to give stability and efficiency to the civil service by progressive abolition of the spoils system and a substitution of a higher rule of action.” - This language appears in a paper which uphold Dudley’s frauds and which speaks for the beneficiary of thbm. No ono therefore need take it for more than it is worth. Whatever Harrison’s intentions may be, there are certain facts he must l-ocogniae and be governed by. One of these is that the Democratic Administration hns faithfully enforced the I’endleton law; that the civil service as far as the law extends is qow both non-partisan and efficient. 7 he Democratic party favored the sys'.om tor all offices which do not require Democratic principles for their proper adjqinistration. The Republican politicians now demand that tboso offices shall be vacated to make room for them. They want to soe every man who has served under a Democratic Administration turned out. without any regard whatever to his polities. That is their idea of non- partisanship, and “a progressive abolition Of the spoils'system.” They wajnt the offices. There are many reasons why they should not have them. The CiviliSbrvle® law and the precedents established under it by President Cleveland are strong reasons, and they must have some weight with Harrison, but his knowledge of the character of tho politicians who are applying to him for office ought to have more weight. He has scon thorn at work in Indiana and other States. He knows that as a rule they are both dishonest and indecent, entirely unfit for,any office or trust Doubtless he would prefer not to appoint them. He has some famify pride and some regard for the names of honored ancestors who are disgraced by his present associations with the Quays, the Dudleys, the Blaines and the Fords. Ho has sense 'enough to know that he can- not reward the fine-workers from the public treasury and pretend that he is moved to do it by high-minded patriotism, lie has been shaking bands with the tough element of his party at a great sacrifice of his own feelings, and he would like now, no doubt, to put on his gloves again. But ho knows just as well that these short-haired gentry, handled the “blocks of five” that' elected him; he knows they have an uncontrollable appetite, and that if he does not surrender to them he will hare no chance for ronomination. * As soon as he is sworn in he will have the mob around him, and it will laugh at his pledges. It will bo an interesting situation.—St. Louis Be

PENSION BIU. VETOES. Solid Fact.* for President Cleveland*# Cowardly Maligners. The malignant blatherskites who so grossly misrepresented President Cleveland in his administration of the Pension Department should read tho following statement of Mr.- D. 8. Murphy, tho supervising examiner of pensions forHho Potomac district: "As n matter of fart, the President hat vetoed SOi private pension billa for cause, and signed 1.5K\ whereas the ltnoot Republican Presidents preceding bint affixed their names to only 1,170. Of tho *1 • vetoed bills tho President did not sign nineteen of them, lor the reason that the -ipllcants would receive more money by taking out their pens ous under tho general law, and, as a result, these nineteen persons were, pa d 117,00) more than they would have received If the bills bad been passed. OnnCaptain Green, in New York Stale, I know got NiO(» more, than he expeetod. The applications of these people had been ou die in the Pension Offlce before 18M, and. according to the law, when granted, they took effect from the date when Bled, when a pens'oner by a private bill would be paid from tho date of the blli. In nine of tho cases bills were absurd and meantnglses. la one Instance a bill giving a penstoa to a poor woman, in n hlch she was described as a dependent fathrr, passed both bouses. There is not much wonder tho President didn't sign that hill.. In twelve other instances it wislonnd that the applicants had deserted the army and were never reinstated. It was discovered that ninetyft*e more applied for pensions for dltabdRigo that barred them from tho service, and they had not been la tho army at alt” These facts, which come from an official source, prove that the President was honest in his disposition of pension bills. Mr. Cleveland’s cowardly maligners assailed him simply because he was faithful to his trust.— , Harrisburg (Pa-) Patriot. _ ,

DRIFT OF OPINION. _3 -—It is no bad scheme, that of taking the entire Cabinet from Indiana. It would make Mr. Harrison so popular | in his own State that ho might carry it in ’92 without the use of high-tariff boodle.—Louisville Courier-Journal. -Is it worth while to attempt to enforce or improve the laws concerning bribery when exceptional eontrl- ■ butions to the corruption fund of the Republican party this year are made the basis for recommendations to places in the Cabinet? Albany Argus. -There is a proposition on foot to secure a foreign appointment for Murat Halstead. Ho one objects to this. We will all willingly sign a potiton to that effect. The only question is: Which point on the globe is the farthest from the United States?— Omaha Herald. -The Senate bill is in no sense a compromise measure. There is not a compromise in it. It is the most radical protection measure ever introduced in this or any other country. Revenue is only its incident. Monopoly is its object, and by speciSo duties and other such devices it goes a length in the practical application of the monopoly theory that Repulicanlsm itself never went before.—St. Louis Sapublie. —-Senator Chandler announces that he will press his resolution to investigate Southern elections, and hopes to have his oommittee in working order in a few days. Could tho Senator and plenty or mat his mill to grind on without 1 so far? Indiana and New' not far off, and
