EDITORIAL riENTION. ~ Five years of Dingley tariff and the earth continues *to revolve on its axle-tree; business booms, and the free soup wagon remains quietly housed in the Democratic lumber house. The United States Treasury now contains more gold than that of any other country in the world. Tn addition the resources of this coun try were never so great as at this time. Activity prevails in all the leading industries, and the outlook is very favorable for the indefinite continuance of prosperity. So much for a Republican administra tion? Congressman Grosvernor lias re turned from a western trip, where he found the people everywhere busy, prosperous and contented. He thinks the next Congress will pass a Cuban reciprocity bill, but during his travels encountered no demand for revision of the tariff. The people of the west, like those of the east, believe in letting well enough alone. Congressman (iros venor does not fear Tom Johnson's circus campaign. Ohio, he says, will remain true to the principles and candidates of the Republican party. The labor argument is a strong argument for the protective tariff. According to reliable estimates, about 80 per cent, of the cost of finished products represents labor. As Congressman Hamilton of Michigan, said in the House: "If a thing is made at home, home labor is employed; if abroad foreign labor is employed. Wages are lower abroad than at home. If a thing can be made cheaper be cause labor is cheaper, then it can be sold cheaper. If foreign pro ducts undersell our own products On our own soil, then our home factories must go out of business and our laboring men must go out of employment." Now there is the science of pro tection putin a nut shell. It is plainly put and not hard to under stand. And yet the Democratic leaders ask tin* voters of this coun try to abandon protection aud take up free trade. They claim that free trade would kill the trusts. Free trade would kill every American industry and as soon as the last one had given its lust expiriug kick, the foreign trusts would swarm into this coun try and take posses.-iou, charging hat they clio-e, Iteuause there \ vould be iiu competition. No, the way to handle the trust question is not free trade but in the sensible, honest way lint Hepublit'iiu parly will liudl- the question, a the Kepuhliettn j»arly has handled every big question which has confronted tile neonle. m. PATTIS9N AND 11 SOLDIER Why Grand Army Men Are Oppos ing His Election. HIS VETO OF THE BURIAL BILL He Waa Willing That Honorably Dis charged Soldiers and Sailors Should Be Buried In the Potter's Field. Only Nineteen Democrats Endorsed His Course. Harrisburg, Pa.. Sept. 30. Hon. Robert E. Pattlson, Democratic can didate for governor, lives in a glass house and should therefore avoid throwing stones. He is an official with a political and a partisan past. It is for this reason that almost to a man the members of the Grand Array of Pennsylvania are opposing his candidacy. They can never forget some of his actions when he was gov ernor. In 1885 the legislature passed a bill whose object it was to prevent hon orably discharged soldiers and sail ors from being buried in a pauper's grave. Governor Pattlson vetoed it. He wrote a veto message that will live in the memory of the old soldiers as long as they live. To the credit of house and senate they passed this bill over the governor's veto. Only 19 Democrats dared to stand by their governor. The bill. House Bill No. 10, was entitled: TO BURY THE SOLDIER HEROES. "An act authorizing and requiring the county commissioners of each county In the state to appoint a suffi cient number of suitable persons in each township or ward of their county, at the expense of the county, to look after, bury and provide a headstone for the body of any honorably dis charged soldier, sailor or marine who served in the army or navy of the United States during the late rebellion or any preceding war, and shall here after die in their county leaving in sufficient means to defray the neces sary burial expenses." Governor Pattlson, then in the ex ecutive chair, wrote this veto mes sage: "Harrisburg, May 8, 1885. "To the House of Representatives or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: "Gentlemen—l herewith return, without my signature, House Bill No. 10, entitled 'An act authorizing and requiring the county commissioners of each county in the state to appoint a sufficient number of suitable persons in each township and ward of their county, at the expense of the county, to look after, bury and provide a head stone for the body of any honorably discharged soldier, sailor or marine who served in the army or navy of the United States during the late rebel lion or any preceding war, and shall hereafter die in their county leaving insufficient means to defray the neces sary burial expenses.' "The bill requires the commissioners of every county In the state to ap point in every ward and township in their respective counties such number of persons as they shall deem 'suffi cient,' who shall hold their offices dur ing the pleasure of the commissioners, and be charged with the following du ties: To 'look after and cause to be buried in a deoent and respectable manner, in any cemetery or burial ground within the state, other than those used exclusively for the burial of the pauper dead,' the bodies of honorably discharged soldiers, sailors or marines who sorved in the army or navy of the United States in the late rebellion or any preceding war, and who may die leaving insufficient means to pay for their burial. For the cost of every such burial, to the amount of $35, the county commis sioners are required to draw warrants upon the treasury of the county.' Af ter such burial, the commissioners are required to erect over every such grave a headstone of such design and material as they think proper, in scribed with the name of the person and the organization in which he served; and for the payment the ex pense of every such headstone the commissioners are authorized to draw a warrant to the amount of IIS, which 'shall bo paid out of the funds of the county In which said soldier, sailor or marine died.' "This bill Is a remarkable exhibi tion of Ihe unwarranted and prepos terous extent to which a most lauda ble and patriotic sentiment may be carried. That principle which Induces governments to pension and provide for injured and destitute soldiers, Is founded in wise policy as well as dic tated by the spirit of a liberal human ity. The United States and our own commonwealth have carried this prin ciple into their laws with no niggardly hand. DONE ENOUGH KOH THE SOLDIERS "Thoughtful patriots have not hesi tated to say that all has been done lit this direction that tht most generous and grateful of governments ought to do consistently with > otnmon prudence and wise public polity, and that the limit has been reached beyond which lllieralltv will lietome extravagame and b-nevolnnc. breed abuse.

He may never have had a residence in the county; he may even never have been a citizen of the state; be may not have been wounded, or be come diseased or disabled in the pub lic service; he may die as the result of his vices or his crimes, by accident or by his own hand; he may have en- Joyed and wasted the bounty of the Federal government or the state for years; he may die in the perpetration of a felony, or be a criminal fleeing the justice of another jurisdiction; but no matter who he is or what he has been, if he served in the army or navy of the United States in any war and dies des titute in any county, that county must bury him at an expense of thirty-five dollars, and erect a headstone over his grave at a cost of fifteen dollars. MEXICAN WAR VETERANS. "A destitute soldier of the Mexican war, who enlisted from the state of New Jersey, and who all his life has been a resident of that state, may go into Philadelphia and die there; or one from the state of New York may wan der into and die in any county on our northern border, and in each case the county in which the soldier dies be comes liable for an expenditure of fifty dollars for his burial. And so of des titute soldiers coming into our com monwealth from any other state, no matter how they come or what caused their destitution, so that they get into our state and die here, this bill operates to charge the counties which may be so unfortunate as to be the places of their death with the cost of their burial. Could any bill be more void of intel ligent principle or based upon so little reason? No guard of any kind is pro vided to protect the counties from im position, and no account whatever is taken of any of the many circumstances that in the most liberal pension laws that were ever enacted are always made an indispensable condition for the en joyment of their bounty. OUTSIDE SOLDIERS AS OUTCASTS. "It is impossible to conceive of any reason why a soldier who was never credited to Pennsylvania; who never reflected any honor upon her arms; who never contributed by industry, citizenship or otherwise to her pros perity, should by the mere accident of death within her borders be entitled, no matter what his character of life may have been, to the burial this bill provides at the expense of one of the counties. The lowly citizen of our state, who, though not a soldier, has spent all his life within our common wealth, supporting her institutions and dignifying her reputation by virtue, sobriety and industry, and who through misfortune dies a pauper, can claim no such privilege as this bill gives indis criminately to strangers of whatever character. He must receive a pauper's burial. It is quite possible to conceive, if this bill should become a law, that neighboring states might rapidly be relieved of much of their unproductive soldier population to the marked in crease of that class in our own state. "The machinery provided by the bill for carrying out its provisions also calls for notice. It authorizes and makes it the duty of the county commission ers to appoint an indefinite number of persons in every ward and township of the state, who are to be the officers having in charge the burials in their respective wards and townships. This means the creation of many hundreds —possibly thousands —of officials; and while the bill provides that they shall serve without compensation, yet ex perience shows that official duties in variably entail official expense, and it is not probable that these functionaries would be an exception to the rule. Apart from this, however, it is always an objection when legislation creates an undue number of officers, which this bill undoubtedly does. "It may well be questioned, also, whether the provisions of this measure fall within the scope of the legislative power. It will be observed that it does not appropriate the money of the state, but attempts to direct the bounty of the counties. It commands that cer tain political sub-divisions of the state shall perform certain charitable acts — not generally, as In establishing a poor house or the like, which is an exercise of the general ponce power of the state, but specially, in a special manner, with reference to a special class and at a special definite cost. Without now de ciding the question, the executive would suggest that the bill requires considerable stretch of legislative pow er to justify its principle. "ROUT. E. PATTISON."
