A cablegram reports tho ftrrrott of a
large number of students and t lie firing
on a crowd of bovs in a Russian town,
killing three and doubtless wounding a
number of others. This is a sprarufm
of despotism. Itisths theory of abso
lutism that only power lias rights
thathumanlty has none. It is its na
ture to place the people under the rule
of those who in their hearts repudiate
God and every sentiment of religion
. and virtue. To provide against such
an atrocious abomination getting a
foothold here is the solemn duty of
each on of our people. The security
against it is found only in a rigid ad
hsrence to the safeguards of the Con
stitution. ''Beware of the man who
approaches the public KWty." Once
break down the bulwarks of iddividual
rights, and then the way will be clear
for the speedy advance of arbitrary
and irreoponsfblo power. How would
people feel were they to hear that their
sons and brothers had been shot down
for no greater offense thar. shouting and
taking part in a noisy meeting. Such
dastardly atrocities ought to excite
sentiment of abhorrence toward all
tyranny in the breast of every patriot
of every lond.
Help Yonritlf.
"If you want a good servant and
ons that you like, serve yourself." So
said poor Richard at the instigation of
Ben. Franklin. To this sensi jle maxim
modern experience and observation
adds the following advice: "Learn to
help yourself, and you will enjoy per
fect independence. Men who can defy
adverse circumstances, and can earn a
living in any quarter of the world in
which they are dropped down; who can
roll up their sleeves and set to work at
almost anything that odors; and who
can even sew on their own buttons.
i
and can make themselves a cup of tea
when deprived of the help of woman
kind, are the ones who are really inde
pendent. The most helpful women
are kindest and truest; and as for a
man, never trnst him in any capacity
if he has not within him tlio true spirit
of independence, without which neither
strength nor sweetness may be hoped
for. In the battle of life there is but
one way to suocted fight it out your-aelf."
Additional Locals,
,;' -.Governor-elect Pattison f Pennsyl
vania starts off auspiciously by appoint
ing a clergyman as his private secre
tary, ; The oillce of private secretary
to a public officer is a doltcato one, and
requires for its proper dischargo tact,
finesse, and diplomacy. The man who
fills it is daily obliged to got pretty
close to the border line between truth
and its opposite. If the Rev. Mr.
Everett discharges his duties accepta
bly, as we doubt not ke will, and also
keeps on the right sido of the line, he
will contribute much 1 to the success o
the new reform administration. New
York Sin.
The result of the election in Penn
sylvania for Governor may be summed
up as follows: Pattison received about
350,300 votes, while 310,800 were cast
for Beaver and 50,000 for Stewart,
giving a plurality of 39,500 for the
Democratio candidate and anti-boss ma
joritynot counting the greenback and
prohibition vote of 89,000. The Sen
ate will stand, 28 Republicans and 21
Democrats, while the Democratio ma
jority in the House is 23, making the
Legislature largely Democratio on joiut

It has been discovered that some error was
made in rocordiug the prohibitory legislation
of the last session of the Legislature, bat it
was thought that the error could be correct
ed in time to save the work. The contrary
appears to be the case. The law requires
that all amendments to bills passed, together
with the full vote thereon, shall be eutered
in the lournals of both houses. In the esse
of the bill for the amendment of the consti
tution prohibiting the manufacture and ssle
of liquors in this State, s certain s.neudment
was left out ot the house jourual by some
mistake, sud the result is that the labor of
Dr. Watts and his 60,000 followers is all in
vain; the bill is a nulity, sud will have to
be done over again two years hence. This
bit of news may bring tears to the eyes of
the temperance hosts, but there is no help
for it now. Standard.
