Annulling the Contract Labor Law.
The reckless determination to boom
the tin industry without favorable na-
tural conditions and at an. immense
public expense, is driving the support:
ers of monopoly to questionable expe-
dients. Thus the Iarrison adminis
tration has concluded to set aside. the
law that prohibits the importation of
contract laborers so that the American
tin monopolists may have the advan-
tage of Welsh tin-plate operatives,
This is a high-handed treatment of a
legal restriction intended for the bene-
fit of A merican labor. An attempt. to
explain and justify this violation of the
law is made by the following announce
ment :
‘When the present conditions change, and
the tin plate industry becomes established, or
when there shall be found a sufficient number
of skilled tin plate workers to carry on its
manufacture with a reasonable degree of busi-
ness facility, then the importation of such-
workmen will be in violation of the contract
labor law.
This is setting a precedent of
which the monopolists in any branch
of business may claim the advantage.
If the law can be suspended in favor of
the tin-plate manufacturers, why will
the iron kings and coal barons not
have an equal claim to a free importa-
tion of eontract laborers for their bene-
fit? All they will have to do is to
convince the authorities that they
haven't enough native workmen for
“ta reasonable degree of business tacili-
ty.” This “degree” will be “reason-
able” in the opinion of the employing
interest only when wages have been
reduced to a point that will best suit
their profits.
The heavy duty on tin-plate was im-
posed ostensibly to encourage Ameri-
can labor, yet cne of the first incidents
of this imposition is the annulliag of a
law that was passed to keep out for-
eign pauper labor. A nice commen-
tary on the protective feature of the
McKinley law, isn’t it?
A Good Man Endorsed.
Ajust tribute was paid to State
Chairman Kerr by the Democratic
congressmen of Pennsylvania who at a
recent conference in Philadelphia ex-
pressed their determination to support
him for clerk of the. next House of Re-
presentatives. It appaars that ex-con-
gressman Masa would like to 4ll that
important office, and he is abundantly
able to fiil it creditably, but our con-
gressmen fully appreciate the superior
claims of Mr. Kerr who virtually
gave up his seat in congress by devot-
ing himself to the Democratic cause
last year to the neglect of his own per-
sonal political interests. This circum-
stance must be [recognized if there is
anything like gratitude in polities or
appreciation of useful service. Besides,
he was first in the field, and is thor-
oughly competent to perform the duties
of the office. An effort is being made
to bring him out for Auditor General,
but we do not know whether he favors
such a movement.
——MecKinleyism is at a discount in
the north western portion of these great,
United States. “The whole North-
west,” says Senator Parricrew, of
South Dakota, ‘is ablaze for BLAINE,
‘and the people will not’ listen to any,
other candidate.” And why? Beeause,
as the Senator says in effect, BLAINE'S
reciprocity scheme promises some re-
lief from the burdensome exactions of
the McKinley tariff. Free trade, dis-
guisedj under ‘the name of reciprocity,
inspires the northwestern Republicans
with hop: aud fires their hearts for
Braing.
So.
Definite Political Convictions.
A good deal of fun is being made of
Uncle Jerry Rusk for his scheme of
gupplying the agriculturists with.
rain by means of dynamite exploded in
the upper atmosphere, and for his ‘'em-
ployment of the microscope in search-
ing for trichina in the American hog.
This may be good cause for fun,
but his head is level in believing that
young men should have definite politi-
cal convictions. As a practical illus
tration of this belief he made the fol-
Towing statement to a Washington re-
porter the other day:
“When I was ian Chicago a few
weeks ago picking out the force of mi-
croscopists for the meat inspection,
there was one fine young fellow who
‘had good recommendations from his
professors. I said : “These are all right.
Now what's your, politics ?""" Tt star-
tled him a little, for he wasn’t a - voter,
and he said so. . “Well,” I told him,
‘your father's a Democrat, isn’t he?
Tue young fellow said yes, and I might
put shim down as a Democrat, too.
‘Oa you zo,’ I said; “that’s all I want:
ed to know,” and I appointed. ‘him.
There was another young fellow who
said he was a Republican. I found
out the nextday he was a Democrat
and dropped him—not for being a
Democrat, but for lying about it and
saying be was a Republican when he
wasu't.”!
“Uncle Jerry acted exactly right in
this case. A young Democrat—or an
old one, for that matter—who for the
sake of an office will represent himself
to be a Republican, should have no
favor shown him anywhere or from
any quarter,
Pennsylvama’s Agricultural Bonanza.
The State Board of Agriculture of
Pennsylvania will be able this year to
impart the most interesting informa-
tion to the farmers that it has given
out since its establishment. The bul-
letin of Secretary Edge, just issued, an
nounces the most remarkable crops
ever produced in Pennsylvania. His
estimate of the wheat crop puts it at
22,500,000 bushels, the largest that has
ever responded to the skill and labor of
our farmers. Potatoes will yield 11,-
000,000 bushels, which will be an un-
precedented crop. Clover and timothy
fell off a little, owing to dry weather
1n the early part of the season, but the
later efforts of the grass lands make
up the difference. Unfayorable weath-
er in the spring gave oats a discourag-
ing start, but nevertheless there will
be a good crop of this indispensable
grain. Corn presents a promising ap-
pearance. Especially in the way of
fruit is the season remarkable. The
crop of large fruits will be the greatest
for years, while the yield of small fruits
has been something phenomenal. Sure-
ly the State agricultural department
has occasion to make a most satisfac
ory announcement.
The furious fight that has been
going on for some time for the Presi-
dency of the Republican League of
Pennsylvania forcibly illustrates the
power of an organization that has
sprung up within the party with the
original object of serving and strength-
ening it, but which has grown so
strong that its service has grown into
mastership. Leaders strive to secure
control of this League, calculating that
through it they can control the party,
and it is with this object that DaLzELL
and RoBINsox are fighting to be Presi-
dent of this organization. A party is
certainly in bad shape when it can be
ruled through such an instrumentality.
Itindicates the perfection to which
the machinery has been brought,
which will be run in the Magee or
Quay interest as the crank may. he
turned either by DarzeLL or RoBinNson
as President of the League.
France is a great country, en-
joying the highest development of eciv-
ilization, but it seems to be retrograd-
ing 1m point of population. The
French census is taken every five
years, and there is no question that it
is takeu ia the most thorough and
scientific manner, for that js the way
the French do those things. = The |
enumeration just completed shows a
population of 38,095,150, as against
38,218,803 in 1886. Some attribute
this standstill, or, in fact, decrease of
the French population to the large en-
rollment of the young men in the
army, but this reason ‘does not hold
good in view of the fact that in Ger:
many the enrollment of young men
into the military service is even greater

Proceed With the Investigation,
"The Democratic members of the leg-
islative committee appointed to inves-
tigate the State Treasurer's and Auditor
General's offices, are determined to go
ahead with the performance of the du-
ty assigned them, although the Repub-
lican majority of the committee hold
back through fear that something
may be unearthed that will be dam-
aging to their party. The Democrats
have therefore issued a call for a meet-
ing of the committee at Harrisburg on
Tuesday; August 4th, Groree Hanoy
Smith, the Republican chairman of
the committee, may allow the pleas-
ures of a European trip to divert his
attention from the performance of an
unpleasant duty, and the other Repub.
lican members may be shy of the job,
bat the Democrats are determined to
get at the bottom facts of the Treasury
They will accordingly
meet on the 4th of Angust, and, should
the Republicans fail to make an
appearance, will nevertheless pro-
ceed with their investigation, will issue
subpoenas and will appeal to Judge
Simonton, of the Dauphin county
court, to sustain their action. Should
the decision of Judge SimoNTON be ad-
verse, the responsibility of the commit-
tee to comply with the duties of their
appointment will necessarily rest with
the Republicans.
The people agree with the Demo-
cratic members of this committee that
it is high time to lift the cover which
has so long concealed the rottenness in
the State Treasury.
The Raleigh Exhibition.
The exhibition of Southern agricul
tural and industrial products, which
will be opened at Raleigh, North Caro-
lina, in the coming fall, and continued
during the winter, is going to be a great
affair, and will do much to promote as
well as display the material prosperity
of that section. All the Southern
states are preparing to put their pro-
ducts and resources on exhibition.
One of the notable features at this ex-
position will be a department exclu-
sively formed aud managed by negroes.
Each state has named a special negro
commissioner, who will have control
of the exhibits of his own state. This
is putting the colored man to better use
than making him a political machiue
in the interest of the Republican party,
backed by bayonets. The Southern
people are developing the negroes in
the way that will be most beneficial to
them and to the country.
——There is not a paper in Phila
delphia that supports the proposition
for a constitutional convention, and we
fail to find any advocates of that meas-
ure among the country journals.
There may be organs of piblic opinion
that favor that measure, but if there
are, they certainly keep their senti-
ments very quiet. It 1s said that the
railroad companies and other corpora-
tions want a new constitution, as the
present one doesn’t suit them, but as a
matter of policy their representatives
are not noisy on the subject.
An Absurd Report abou t Quay.
The Philadelphia Record prints a
statement, made with an air of author-
ity, chat Quay has announced his de-
termination to resign the chairman-
ship of the Republican Nationai Com-
mittee, and that, furthermore, he has
declared his “analterable determina-
tion to retire from the Senate and to
spend the winters of the balance of his
years in Forida.” Declining health
is given as the reason for his coming
to this determination.
It is hardly necessary to say that
most if not all of this is, bosh. Quay
may resign his place at the head of
the national committee if he shall be
compelled to do so by an apprehen-
sion that his bad reputation ‘wii do
the party more harm than his ‘skill
as a manipulator will do it good ; but
it is ridiculous to believe that he enter-
tains the least idea of giving up his
seat in the Senate. He will stick’
there until he shall go out with the
general turning out of the rascals.

The supporters of high tariff |
monopoly take pleasure in attributing
the closing down of the tin-plate fac-
tories in Wales to the effect ot the Me-
Kinly bill. They say that it put a
stop to foreign importation of tin and
hence the stoppage of the Welsh fac- |
tories. The truth is that the operators
in Wales increased their production
during the six months previous to the
1st of July, so that they sliould be able |
to run as much tin into this country as |
possible before that date when the Me- |
Kinley law would go to operation. |

The pension scheme of Mr. W. R. |
Republican party favorably. It has
the breeziness of the West, although
it is intended to benefit the .darkies of.
thie South. ‘He proposes that the Gov.’
ernment shall issue $00,000,000 ia,
bonds, and with the proceeds of their
sale pension the ex-slaves, He thinks
that this provision would be justified
by the claim which the colored people
have for the work they did without
pay before their emancipation. He
advises the negroes to let the Republi
can leaders understand that they must
have this bonus if the party expects
their votes in the future. As the G. O.
P. leaders regard pensions as a proper
means of obtaining votes they are not
likely to object to retaining the color-
ed vote by such means.
The Pennsylvania Railroad's Double
Lines to Atlantic City.
The Pennsylvania Railroad’s twin
lines to Atlantic City—the West Jersey
and Camden and Atlantic Railroads—
now operated as a double-track line,
and famed far and wide as the Pennsyl-
vania’s Double Lines to the Sea, have
long been known as the old and reliable
route to Atlantic City. The Camden
and Atlantic Railroad was the pioneer,
and for a long time the only route, to
what has now become one: of the most
popular and attractive seaside cities of
the world. Many Philadelphians well
remember how in the earlier years of
the first railroad they traveled slowly
and in inferior cars to Atlantic City,
when one or two trains a day more than
sufficed to accommodate the entire vol-
ume of traffic, and many of them may
also recall the ill-success of the railroad
venture, which was so pronounced that
at a meeting of the directors the propo-
sition to take up the rails and sell them
for scrap iron was gravely discussed.
Wiser counsel prevailed, however, and
from this humble origin sprung what
is to-day the most complete and best ap-
pointed system of railway leading to
any seaside resort in this country.
The West Jersey and Atlantic from
Newfield to Atlantic City was built and
inaugurated with conspicuous success
under, Pennsylvania management, the
Camden and Atlantic was acquired,
and the two lines consolidated into the
Pennsylvania's Double Lines to the Sea.
These lines are now operated with that
skill and vigor for which the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad is celebrated. The rail-
way of each line is in excellent condi-
tion. Laid with steel rails, stone bal-
lasted, fitted with that greatest of tino
savers—the track tank—protected by the
lock signal system, its physical condi-
tion can only be compared to those
blue ribbon sections of the main line
track that attract the admiration of the
chance traveler and provoke the un-
stinted praise of the railway expert.
For the complete equipment of this
splendid road bed the great resources of
the Pennsylvania System are freely
drawn upon. The choicest passenger
coaches, parlor cars constructed expressly
for this service, and stalwart hard-coal
burning locomotives, designated as the
Pennsylvania Standard, are provided.

Where Is This Thing to Stop ?
New York Evezing Post.
Twenty years ago the expenditures
for pensions wereonly about $30,000,000
a year, and General James A. Garfield,
Chairman of the House Committee on
Appropriations, said in a speech in the
House. “We may reasonably expect
that the expenditures for pensions will
hereafter steadily decrease, ualess our
legislation should be unwarrantably ex-
travagant.” It is interesting to trace
the reasonable decline which General
Garfield predicted during the next few
years after he delivered this speech, and
the extraordinary growth of the pension
roll as soon as Congress entered upon an
era of ‘‘anwarrantably extravagant leg-
islation.” The “Statistical Abstract of
the United States,” just issued from the
Bureau of Statistics, enables us to pre-
sent the picture at a glance:
Year. No. Prnsioners. Disbursements.
1872....0.. 232,229 $30,169,341
1874... 223,998 26,844,415
1884... 323,756 57,263,536
1890....000s 537,944 106,493,890
‘Where is this thing to stop? The
number of pensioners at the close of the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1889, was 87-
000 larger than for the previous year,
and the increase during the year closed
June 30, 1890, was 88,000. These are
the figures of net increase in emch case,
aiter making allowance for the large
number of names removed from the roll
by death or otherwise. Moreover, these
gains were made before the new Depend-
ent Pension law fairly got into opera-
tion, and the report for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1891, must inevitably
show a vastly larger increase. However
large this increase may prove, it will
not satisfy Commissioner Raum, who
told an interviewer in Chicago the other
day: ‘Affairs have been going alto-
gether too slowly in the Pension De-
partment, and I am going to hurry
through and dump 850,000 original cases
upon the various pension agencies of the
country before the year is out.” This
would carry the number on the roll up
to about 900,000, or more than four
times the total so far back as 1878!
Delightful Excursions to the Choicest
Resorts of the New Jersey Coast
via Pennsylvania Railroad.
The second of the series of the Penn-
sylvania Railroad’s select tours to the
resorts of the New Jersey coast was a
grand success. Two large trains hardly
sufficed to accommodate the party, and
they are now enjoying a delighttul visit
to the shore. The next date is August
6th, which will enable the members of
that party to reach the shore at the very
high-tide of the season. The points
available by these tours are Atlantic
City, Cape May, Sea Isle City, or Ocean
City, all of which are favorites with the
people of Western Pennsylvania.
The excursion tickets good for ten
days are to be sold ata rateof $10,00
from Pittsburg, and at correspondingly
low rates from other stations,
A special train of Parlor Cars and
Day Coaches will leave Pittsburg at
8.50 a, m. for Philadelphia, stopping at
all important junction points, where con-
nections will be made with trains from
branch lines. Passengers will spend the
night in Philadelphia and proceed to
the seashore by regular trains of the
next day.
Tickets will be sold from stations
named below, and train schedule will

is as fast as the fastest trains in regular
service in this country or abroad, and is
quick enough to meet the wishes of the
average traveler. These trains speed
down to the sea over one track and up
on the other, with no obstruction, but
with a clear clean sweep of track always
ahead. Safety is the prime essence of
this plin, and comfort is assured by rea-
son of substantial equipment, a clean
well ballusted, firmly established road-
bed without dust, and locomotives with-
out cinders. These characteristics,
briefly outlined, form the basis of the
wide and well-earned popularity of this
first-class route to Atlantic City.
The high favor in which this route is
held is by no means local, but extends
to all sections of the land where the in-
fluence of the Pennsylvania Railroad is
felt. A large number of trains from
the south, west, northwest, and south-
west deliver their passengers in Phila-
delphia at varying hours each day, and
all of them may find a convenient con-
nection at the foot of Market street
(the central seashore station of Philadel-
phia) for prompt conveyance to Phila-
delphia’s great seaside suburb.
By the provision of these unsurpass-
ed facilities of travel, the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has 1iot only develop-

MADE AN IMPRESSION AT DETROIT.
i —George T. Bush, of Bellefonte, popu-
larly known as “Fatty,” has freturned
from Detroit, after a two week’s ab-
sence, where he attended the meeting of
the League of American Wheelmen.
That he made a decided impression and
took an active part in the proceedings
of the Hickory Club is indicated by the
following remarks in the papers of that
city. The Free Press says:
“Six hundred were initiated into the
glories of the Hickory Club. One at a
time the candidates were laid over Dea-
con Bush’s knee and given a tap with
the hickory paddle. The novice then
received a Hickory badge. A few were
given the “Corey Hill bounce.” The
Evening News of the same city speaks
of Fatty thus :
“George T. Bush, the original “one
only” of Bellefonte, Pa,, was busy to-
day with W. W. Stell, initiating mem-
bers into the Hickory Club. Mr. Stell
acted as lord high executioner.
Tyrone and Clearfield railroad, which is
a branch of the Pennsylvania road, just
like the Bald Hagle Valley road, is to
be extended to Pennville, and the Phil-
i psburg Journal says:
“It will be recollected that as far back
as 1884 this road was graded from Cur-
wensville to a point near the head of
Bell’s run, but never ironed. It remain-
ed in this condition tor five years, when
Mr, George W. Hoover, of our city,
succeeded in persuading the company to
lay the rails to a point about three miles
beyond Curwensville, in order the reach
his vast tracts of fine white pine tim-
ber.
“The company has now decided to lay
two and a-half miles more of track which
will reach Pennville, from which point
several spur lines will be built to coal
mines.
“Another important feature of interest
to the traveling public is that this will
shorten the staging distance to DuBois
by about four miles .”
