Do the farmers and workingmen of this section of the State know and ap- ‘preciate the fact that they can have no redress for the grievous wrong per: petrated upon them two years ago,by a Republican legislature, in the repeal of the fence law, except through the ac- tion of a constitutional convention ? Whether they recognize or under- stand the situation or not, the plain, palpable truth is, that such legislation as they desire and need on the subject of fencing cannot be secured until the ‘present constitution is altered and amended. No such measure as a general fence law. could. be. passed in either branch of the legislature, for the rea- | son that the cities and thickly settled counties of the Commonwealth are op- posed ‘to such ‘a’ law. They have a majority of representatives in both “the Senate and the House; and’ any bill | looking to the re-enactment of the old law on this subject, or a new measure covering the same points, would be de- | feated just as surely as it was intro- | duced, "10 Hurl ,- Neither can our people find. relief through local legislation in this matter for the simple reason that the present Constitution prohibits the enactment of local laws on this as well as ‘many other questions, Persons, who, in the interest’ of corporations are opposed to | & constitutional convention, may tell you differently, butithe proof of what | we state is furnished in the Governor's veto of a bill passed by the last legisla- ture giving to Elk county such s fence law as her citizens desired. *' Do'you want a fence law?

The request which Chicago will make of Congress to give $5,000,000 to help the Fair is not likely to be re- ceived with favor. She was very loud in announcing her ability to put the enterprise through with little, if any, outside help. New York, in pushing her claims for the Fair, showed, or at. least pretended to show, $15,000,000 cash. Chicago, through her spokes- men, went before Congress and repre- sented chat her businessmen would sub- scribe $25,000,000, if necessary, and she would not ask a cent from the gov- ernment. Upon these representations she got the Fair, but it is now being shown that she was playing a game of brag without the material to back it. It was with great difficulty that the comparatively small amount she has in-hand to put into the enterprise was raised by subscription among her busi- nessmen, and,although time is passing rapidly, very little preparatory work has been dome. Now $5,000,000 is asked of the government. The result will be that the government will have to help the windy city out of the scrape she is in, for the success of the Fair is something that involves the .national reputation and honor. The Chicago braggarts depended upon this senti- ment to help them out when they made promises which they knew they were unable’ to fulfill. ——There was'a neat bit of political claptrap worked by Major McKINLEY in Cincinnati the other day. Because a negro had been refused accommoda- tion in a hotel the candidate for Gov- ernor left that hotel and went to an- other where the color line was not drawn. This was intended to tickle the colored voters, but if the Major should be elected he would be careful not to continue the titilation by giving any of the offices ‘under his control to his colored supporters. Pennsylvania at the Chicago Fair. Last Friday the Pennsylvania World's Fair Commission met in Har- risburg and among other work 1t ‘did was the election of Mr. B. F. Wmir- MAN, of Erie, as Executive Commis- sioner to fill the place made vacant by the death of the lamented CHARLES S. Worre. Mr. WHITMAN is a gentle man of decided executive ability and has had much experience in practical affairs. He has already proposed a plan of operations which under his en ergetic direction will give Pennsylva- nia one of the most notable positions in the exhibition. The Commission accepted the site- of the State building at Chicago, the grounds set apart for Pennsylvania be- ing admirably located and beautifully surrounded. It comprises 250 feet in front and is 155 feet deep. ‘It was de- cided by the executive committee that the cost of Pennsyivania’s building should not exceed $75,000, and that it shall be two stories high, the first story to contain exhibits and the sec- ond offices. The little Central: American State of San Salvador has again been badly shaken up by an earthquake. That is a common occurrence down there, but not more common than the | political shaking up to which the gov- | ernments in that region are subjected | through the agency of revolutions. While the internal forces ‘agitate and upheave the subsoil, the revolutionists manage to make things lively ‘on the | surface. Such quakiness of both soil and society would not suit the taste of the people of the United States. It Should Not Fail for Want of Funds. The Harrison administration has discontinued the investigation of the Keystone Bank management because | the money appropriated for the purpose | has “been” exhausted. "What a pity | that a government that doesn’t hesitate | about spending a billion of dollars in éxpenditures of every conceivable va- riety, should find itself short of money just about the time when a little. more expense would be likely "to expose a uice set of raseally officials, 1 But we are glad to see that there are public spirited citizens of Philadelphia who are willing to come to the assis- taace of an impecunious government in this. dilemma.

The fellows who are managing the McKinley campaign in Ohio intend to work the tin racket to the utmost, and for this purpose have emnloyed a number of fakirs and traveling sales: men to help along the cause. GEroree HovrtzMAN, a notorious operator in the fakir line, who is known all over Ohio, is in it, and inadvertently divulged the programme to a Republican who didn’t think it his duty to approve of the fakir method of campaigning. The fellows to whom this special business has been assigned are already on the road, loaded with tinware of all descriptions, which they are. disposing of at lower prices than tinware was ever before sold for in Ohio. These low figures are represented to be theeffect of the McKinley bill, They are pointed to as directly result- | ing from the vast tin manufactories which are represented to have sprung An Economical Government. self unable to go on with the investiga- | tion of the Keystone National Bank | the investigators are beginning to the $5,000 appropriated to carry investigation is ‘exhausted. It took that amount of money to pay’ for the the guilt of three clerks, but most un- fortunately the cash ran short before the big rascals could be reached. What a pity the experts must be called off because there isn’t mouey enough to pay for their further service, when a little more unearthing would uncover culprits whom it would be really worth while to uncover, and whose ' ex- worth the money expended. up in different parts of the country in consequence of McKINLEY’s protection to American tin. This method of electioneering is con- fined to the country districts and to tarm houses. When the rural resi- dents are being supplied with tin goods at figures so astonishly low, the agents of this deception make it a point to en- large upen the benefits of protection, and particularly to impress the rural mind with the belief that the low prices at which they can afford to sell tinware are due to the tariff policy of the man who is the Republican candi- date for Governor. Hundreds of these fakirs are now rattling over the country roads of Ohio with their wagons loaded with pans, pails, buckets, preserving cans, and the endless variety of tin goods, and the country districts will be flooded with this stuff before the election. It will cost a great deal to do this thing, but the political rascals who are work- ing the scheme have an ample cam. paign fund and are assured that they can make a better impression by this style of tariff argument than by meet ingthe champions of tariff reform in open discussion before the people. The amount of money it will take to buy the quantity of tin required for this kind of campaigning will be necessari- ly large. The tin plate used for these utensils is, of course, imported, for there is none, of any account, made in this country, and when it is considered how the price of tin has been increased by tbe McKinley bill, some idea may be formed of the expense of this way of electioneering. But the tariff bene- ficiaries are contributing liberally. They know that their monopoly de- pends upon the maintenance of the high tariff, recognizing the fact that the defeat of the author of the McKin- ley tariff would be a death blow to that | extortionate measure. Therefore they are not stinting the means by which Ohio is being flooded with tinware at prices calculated to create the impres- sion that the McKinley ‘bill has made it cheap. The peddler wagons, as they bounce over the Buckeye roads with paos, kettles and pails, are certainly makingia rattling campaign, but it is not likely that the intelligent rural vote of Ohio will be rattled by such a deception. v1 A Barrel on Tap.

It depends on whose ox is gored in advancing civil service reform by the removal of officials who disregard the law. The Washington Post summa- rizes two recent cases as follows : Mr. Pavr was a Democratic post- master at Milwaukee. Commissioner ROOSEVELT report to the President that Postmaster PauL had violated the civil service law. The President removed Mr. PauL and appointed a Republican postmas- ter in his place. Mr. Jouxnsox is the Republican post master at Baltimore. Commissioner RooseveLT has re- ported to the President that Postmas- ter JornsoN has violated the civil ser- ‘vice law. Will the President remove Mr. JoHNsON ? " There is no probability that Jomn- sox will be removed, but there is a rumor that Mr. RooseveLr will retire from the civil seryice commission in disgust. A Woman's Revenge. “Mixed Arsenic With Every Article of : Food. Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 13.—An- other chapter in the Juvenal case was written yesterday, when Dr. Boyle re- corded at the Health Office the death of Mrs. J. M. Juvenal from arsenical poi- soning. The married life of J. M. Juvenal has been a tragic and stormy one, He first married Miss Margaret Fouree, of Rus- sell, Kan. After eight years he got a divorce. Then Juvenal became engag- .ed. to be married to Miss Millie Pfiffman of this place. Hejilted her and mar- ried Mrs. Anna Baker, a divorced wom- an. Soon after Juvenal’s house was blown up with dynamite, and he and his wife barely escaped death. Miss Pfiffman was arrested for the crime and the case against her is still pending. Last Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Juvenal spent the day away from home, return- ing ‘Monday. They drank water from the ice-cooler and were both immedi- ately taken violently ill. They did. not suspect ‘poisoning, however, and medical assistance relieved ‘them. ‘On Tuesday they ate some cakes made from mixed meal, and again both were taken violently ill. 2 wil fo b an Investigation ' showed = that nearly everything edible in the house had been’ mixed with arsenic. From the effects of her illness Mrs. Juvenal never recov- ered, dying . this morning at 2 o'clock. Mr. Juvenal, however, has recovered. , Much mystery surrounds the case. Juvenal says he knows who the guilty persons are, but decliness to give their names.
