New York in the matter, it looks as if
the World's Fair will take Horack
GREELEY’s advice and go west.
—A preacher with five wives is one of
Pennsylvania's curiosities. ~~ SoLoMON
must have been the biblical character
that this much married minister tried to
imitate.
—Isn’t BEAVER, who is willing to
hand Pennsylvania over to the control
of the corporations, a nice character to
assume the championship of state sover-
eignty ?

lish in this issue of the WATCHMAN, to
be taken as a gauge of the intelligence
of the party he represents in the Com-
missioners’ office ?
—The President came home from the
Chesapeake with more game in his bag
than he succeeded in securing in Vir-
ginia, Ohio or Towa. His gun kicked
awfully on those latter hunting grounds.
—[t does not become the Democracy
to assist in filling up the United States
Senate with millionaires. The plutocrat
in polities is an excrescence that should
be confined exclusively to the monopoly
party.
—Mr. HARRISON'S admirers are brag-
ging about the ducks he shot on the
Chesapeake marshes last week. But
isn’t this incident suggestive of the dead
duck that will be found in the White
House after the election of 1892 ?
-—When honest GROVER CLEVELAND
sits down to his Thanksgiving turkey
he can do so with the consciousness that
it would increase the thankfulness of a
oreat majority of his fellow citizens if
he were taking his turkey in the White
House.
—The vote in Philadelphia by no
means indicated the relative strength of
the two parties in that city, but it rather
disclosed the disgraceful fact that rotten
Democratic leaders in that quarter can’t
keep away from the Republican barrel
when it’s on tap.
--We hope that our worthy Governor
will not declare war against Uncle Sam
for interfering with the Pennsylvania
cow. But, speaking of cows, wasn’t
the fence law which his Excellenzy
signed, aimed at the liberty of those use-
ful animals ? :
—The movements that are being
made in Kansas and Towa to resubmit
the question of prohibition to a popu-
lar vote would seem to indicate that long
abstinence has made the people of that
part of the wild and woolly west dis-
tressingly dry.
—The Brazilian upheavel may re-
sult in loosening the underpinning
of the Spanish as well as the Portu-
gees throne, in which case the nursery
of little ALpHONsO0, the Baby McKee of
the Spanish monarchy, would have to
be shifted to other quarters.
—One would think that the turkeys,
in view of their impending fate incident
to Thanksgiving, would feel as down-
hearted as the defeated Republican can-
didates in Virginia, Towa and Ohio. It
is certainly a sad season for turkeys and
Republicans.
—We can send our congratulations to
the Brazilians on their adoption of a
republican form of government, but
when it comes to the question of trade a
Chinese wall of our own building stands
the way of commercial intercourse
between the two republics.

YOU, 8%.
No Coercion.
The Erie Herald, which hasthe repu-
tation of being theorgan of Hon. W. L
Scott, some days ago made the follow-
ing expression :
The Democratic voters everywhere should
see to it that no man is “hnsen to represent the
party in any eapacity--eithier as a local official,
committeeman, county or State delegate--who
is not a pronounced and open friend of GROVER
CLeverLAND. Make every aspirant for Demo-
cratic votes show his colors. He who hesitates
or is suspected ot disloyalty to our great lead-
er, who was defeated by fraud, corruption, and
a disgraceful trade, shouid be relegated to the
rear. Begin at the beginning and put only
sound Democrats in representative positions.
Send to the State Convention “men who are
known to be in favor of the Cleveland policy of
tariff reform and ballot reform. The candidate
for Governor should be a pronounced, unequiv-
ocal CLEVELAND man. Such a man will bring
out the Democratic vote as it has never ieen
brought out before, and we firmly believe he
will be elected.
This is an extraordinary proposition
and as objectionable as it 1s extraordi-
nary. What occasion is there for re-
sorting to such coercive methods in be-
half of Mr. CLeveEraNp ? The Presi-
dential question is not before the
Democracy at this time and will not
be until 1892.
will be time enough to determine how
it shall be met, and it is not likely that |
then the members of the party will al-
low any such restriction uyon their ac-
tion and choice as is proposed in the |
above paragraph.
There is no doubt that with but few
exceptions the Democrats of Pennsylva-
nia would prefer GROVER CLEVELAND
as the next candidate of the party for
President.
best and most reliable representative
of Democratic principles thai can be
found among the party leaders, es-
pecially entitled to their confidence and
support on account of the stand he has
taken for tariff reform. Their attach-
ment to him has been strengthened by
their consciousness of the villainous
means that were used to defeat him.
There is a combination of circum-
stances operating to make him the
favorite of the party in the question of |
a Preside .tial nomination. This can |
with reasonable confidence be relied
upon to secure for him the support of
the Pennsylvania Democracy, should |
he again be presented for nomination,
without a resort to the compulsory |
measures suggested by the Erie jour-
nal.
from Mr. Scott, then we have to say |
that he is displaying a premature and
pernicious activity in this matter. As
the situation now appears, we are em-
phatically for Grover CLEVELAND as
the leader of the party in the next
Presidential contest, yet on this ques-
tion our motto is, “no coercion.”
—Wr regret to learn of the sever-
ance of Joun H. McGiNyess, Esq.
from the editorial department of the
Williamsport Gazette and Bulletin with
which he was connected for the long
period of twenty-one years. The pros-
perity of that paper has been due in a
great measure to superior business man- |
agement, but much of it could justly be -
attributed to Mr. McGiNNess' editorial
ability. He imparted to it the tone
without which no journal can attain a
respectable and influential position.
As far back as the '50's this veteran
journalist appeared as a historian in
he publication of his first edition ot
‘he History of the West Branch Val-
Recently he has interspersed his
:ditorial duties with the labor of re-
vising and enlarging this important
:ontribution to the history of our State,
ind now, having vacated the editorial
ripod, he intends, as we learn, to de-
vote his time and attention to the inter-
ast of this publication. We trust that
1e may be abundantly rewarded for the
-areful research and literary talent he
aas devoted to it.

is boiling over with indignation. ihe
cause ot his wrath is the action of the
agents of the Bureau of Animal Indus-
try, a branch of the National Depart
ment of Agriculture, in quarantining
cattle in the neighborhood of Upland,
Chester county. The Governor re-
gards this as a presumptuous invasion
of the sovereignty ot a State that is
distinguished by having him as its
chief executive officer, and he is going
to let the general government under-
stand that if the cows of Pennsylvania
are to be quarantined it shali be done
only by authority emanating from the
source over which he presides.
We should think that it makes very
little difference to the farmers of Penn-
sylvania whether their herds are pro-
tected from infectious diseases by the
action of the general or of the State
government, and the excitement of the
Governor on this question looks very
much as if he wanted to swell out and
look bigover a matter of very little
| consequence.
[There are other things about which
| his indignation might be excited with
| more advantage to the people of the
| State than is likely to result from his
wrath about the quarantined cattle.
The habitual disregard for the pro-
visions of the constitution intended to
| restrain railroads and other corpora-
[ tion; the legislative favoritism shown
for corporate interests and contempt
for the claims of the wage-earners ;
| the jugglery by which the demand of
the farmers for equalization of taxes
has been set aside, and the general
governmental policy of the State by
which the money power is advanced to
the detriment of the public welfare—-
all these things should make him an-
gry, but they don’t raffle his temper
in the least.
And on the subject of cattle, we
don't believe the Governor is halt as
! mad about the general government in-
terfering in the matter of quarantin-
| ing Pennsylvania cattle as were the

Death of a Great Lawyer and Demo-
crat.
Philadelphia, and in fact Pennsyl-
vania, shas sustained a great loss in the
death of Hon. Lewis C. Cassy, the
eminent lawyer and political leader,
which occurred very unexpectedly last
Tuesday morning at his home in Ger-
mantown. He had been ill for several
days, but his illness was not of such a
character as to prepare the public for
the announcement of a fatal termina-
tion. A form of heart disease was the
immediate cause of his death. He
was easily the ablest member of the
Philadelphia bar, occupyinga leading
position for almost a generation, and
in the counsels of the Democratic par-
ty he exerted as great an influence as
he did in thelegal faternity. Although
never solicitous for official position he
held several important public trusts,
making a peculiarly lustrous record as
Attorney General of Pennsylvania. It
will be difficult to fill his place in the
profession of which he was so brilliant
a member and in the party to which
he gave such able and distinguished
support.

A flutter has been raised in certain

A. Baaver, Governor of Pennsylvania, | erpor Hit, of New York, to capture
the Democratic organization of Penn-
sylvania in the interest of his candi-
dacy for President in 1892. If there
is a movement of this kind it has been
kept well under cover, with little pros
pect of making an open appearance
above ground. Contingencies may
happen that may make Governor TILL
the candidate of the party in the next
presidential contest, but at this time
there is no sentiment in the party that
has set with any degree of strength in
that direction. The feeling appears to be
decidedly for CLzvELAND, yet even this,
strong as it is, is subject to the modifi-
cation of circumstances that may yet
arise.
If Governor Hirw really is aspiring to
the Presidency he is unfortunate in the
organ that is doing the most to push
him into notice as a candidate. The
Democracy were greatly aggrieved by
the methods that were employed to de-
feat Grover CLEVELAND, especially the
misrepresentation of the tariff reform
principles he stood for in the contest.
No journal bore a more reprehensible
part in this bad business than the New
York Sun which, while pretending to
be Democratie, vented its personal ha-
tred for the Democratic candidate
through the self stultifying msrepresen-
tation that the tariff reform herepresent-
ed meant free trade. When a paper
that has left such an unpleasant mem-
ory in the minds of Democrats ap-
pears as the chief if not the only advo.
cate of Governor HiLL's presidential
aspirations, continuing its malicious
abuse of Mr. CLEVELAND at every op-
portunity, there can be no other con-
clusion than that the Governor is being
unfortunately championed and that it
would be better for his candidacy if he
should call Daxa off.
A Republican Tariff Reformer.
Tite declaration of Hon. Huen Me-
CuLLocH against the Republican mon-
opoly tarift’ is an important accession
to the movement of tariff reform and
furnishes an interesting and instructive
illustration of the way the Cleveland
leaven is working. Mr. McCuLLocH
was Secretary of the Treasury at the
close of LiNcoLN’s term, during the
entire administration of JonnsoN and
part of ARTHUR'S, thus holding one of
the highest and most responsible posi-
tions under three Republican Presi-
dents.
In a letter in the New York Times
the other day, this old and experienced
Republican statesman and financier
gave it as his opinion that our manu-
facturers no longer needed protection ;
that'they had reached a point of devel-
opment at which high tariff rates did
more to promote trusts than to protect
industry, and that what is most needed
at this stage of our industrial develop-
ment for the interest of manufacturers,
wage-earners and the people generally,
is a lower tariff, wider production and
access to foreign markets. In conclud-
ing his article Mr. McCrrLocn said
that ‘‘the present tariff is at war with
“the best interests ot the country. It
“is continued by being made a party
“question and the free use of money in
“elections,” and he declares that its
days are numbered.
This is excellent Democratic doc-
trine coming from a very respectable
and intelligent Republican source.

pleted, the same as in the case of a
centenarian who is not a centenarian
until he has lived a full hundred years.

reform,” but claims to be strong for
“tariff revision on protection lines.”

trusts and make the monopolists smile.

Their Changed Views.
It is reported that Hon. WiLriam L.
WiLsox, of West Virginia, in a speech
he made in the recent Virginia cam.
paign, said that immediately after Mr.
CLEVELAND'S defeat last year the latter
told him that in preparing his tariff
message, which has since taken its
place among the great official docu-
ments, he had especially in view the
condition and welfare of the agricul
tural classes ot this country.
Mr. Crevenanp had the sagacity to
see that the farmers were particularly
oppressed by the heavy taxation inci-
dent to a high tariff, but when he
spoke in their behalf there was unfor-
tunately a class of politicians who gain-
ed the ears of a large portion of the
agriculturists and led them to believe
that they were benefited by a system
which Mr. CLEVELAND stigmatized as
extortionate and oppressive. Since
then the tariff reform education has
greatly progressed among the farmers,
the late elections, especially in the
West, showing that they are rapidly
adopting Mr, CLEVELAND'S views in re-
gard to the oppressiveness of the mo-
nopoly tariff.

The generous offering of many a field.
The rod of Thy chastening, O Lord, we have
felt it,
Its stripes are upon us, we bow ’'neath its
weight,

erring, 3

We thank Thee, Oh Father, that into the dark-

The light of the brother-love, best gift of

Rich offerings of love from the dwellers afar,
As sweet as the spices at Bethlehem offered
By the wise men who followed the light of
the star.

In afflictions deep waters so often reflected,
