|
| The Expensive Part of it.
|
| Senate was the only expense entailed
upon the tax-payer, in connection with
| convened, the people would have rea-
I sou to be thankful. In cases of this
kind the causes are to be considered as
well as the consequence. The cause
was the carelessness or corruption, or
both, ot the republican Anditor Gener-
al and the republican State Treasurer ;
the consequence, the special session of
the Senate, the cost of which now
seems to lacerate so deeply the econ-
omical souls of the individuals who
have charge of the editorial columns of
the republican press of the State.
It is not the Senate investigation of
the charges against the republican
State officials that will cost the tax-
payers so heavily. Iiis the work ot
these republican offizials that will
prove the expensive part of this job.
All told, the cost of the investiza-
tion will amount to but little over $40,-
000, divided up as tollows:—Senators
pay, $500 each, $25,000 ; mileage $3,-
053; employees $6.000; summoning
witnesses, stenographers, printing, ete.,
$6,000. Making a total cost of about
torty thousand doliars.
[his is the buzaboo that republican
papers are holding up to their readers
as evidence of the mistake of a demo-
cratic Goveruor in convening the Sen-
ate ia extraordinary session. It is the
hiding post behind which they hope to
cover the great wrong their own party,
through its officials, has perpetrated
upon the people. They seem to forget
that had it not been for the incom pe-
tency or rascality of republican offi
cials there would have heen no need of
an investigation or cause tor calling
the Senate session, the cost of waica
they now so vehemently complain of.
Forty thousand dollars of expense con-
tracted by the action of a democratic
Governor iu an attempt to do is ducy
and rid the state of offizials wao, by
their negligence or connivance wih
thieves, lost to the tax-payers almost
two millions of dollars, 1s a frighttul
sum in the eyes of those who can see
no good in any act of a democratic of
ficial, or no wrong in the doings of re-
publican office holders let them be ever
80 careless, crooked or corrupt.
As a reminder to thes people who
are 50 painfully overcome by the ex-
penditure of $40,000 in trying to give
the people ot the State an idea of how,
when and by whom they were so fear-
tully robbed in the BarpsLey matter,
we want to state that there is another
financial side to this question and one
which we fail to hear them say much
about. It is the BarDSLEY-Bover-
McCamant-RepuBLICAN side and
through the actions of which the peo-
ple of the State lost, of the taxes that
had been wrung from them.almost two
millions of dollars as follows :
Personal property tax 911,266.13
License tax.......... 369,001.68
Municipal loan tax.. 3s 86,030.59
Phil’a School approp n 420,000.00
Tctal... $1,786,298.40
Possibly 1t was wrong to expend
$40,000,0r any other sum,in an effort to
place the responsibility of this great
loss where it properly belonged. The
laws regulating the manner and time
which gettlements by the Auditor Gen-
eral and payments to the State Treas-
urer should be made were plain enough
and if carried out no such robbery of
the people could have been consemma-
ted. But the robbery was accomplish-
ed. The million seven whundred and
eighty siz thousand dollars ot the peo-
ple’s money was missing, and probably
to some people an investigation of the
causes or reasons or conspiracies and
corruption that led to the loss, was out
of place and wrong. We don’t envy
the honesty of the individual or party
who holds to this view. A similar
view of the efforts of our courts to ex-
pose and punish crime, would abolish
all criminal trial because of the ex-
pense.
The investigation may not have
amounted to much. The republican
majority in the Senate was too large
and to greatly interested in covering up
the actual condition of affairs to have
cient was shown, to prove that through
| the corrupt methods, the careless man-
agement and conspiracies between two
{ lican official of the city of Philadelphia
there was lost to the people of Pennsyl-
If the cost of the extra session of the
a fair and beneficial resnlt, but suffi- !
republican State officials and a repub. |
vania the sum of $1,786,208.40,
We presume that it the republican
party and its people can stand this loss,
and the rottenness that caused it, with
os out wincing, the Democratic adminis
had a great ho matter for which that body was &
tration chat made honest effort to cor-
rect this great wrong, can stand the
charge that the extraordinary ses
sion of the Senate cost $40,000.

Quick to Tell Others How, But Very
Slow to Praetice.
Just now when tae Cailian affair is
agitating the mindsot those at the head
of our governm ni, many sazzestions
| and plans, for the amicable adjustment
of our differences, are appearing in
foreign papers. Most noticeable
among the many advisory articles
which have coms before us are those
of the London Times. It kindly tells
the administration that it should not
be hasty in instituting an attack upon
so helpless a country as Chili How
ever, the Eoglish organ entirely ig-
nores the fa8t that should it hecome
necessary for us to war with Chili, it
would probably involve only the naval
strength of the two countries and in
this Chili is our superior by at least
sixteen boats, all of which are of the
most modern design for battle ships.
Of course the English look on the
outcome of such a conflict with much
interest, but when they attempt to tell
consideration for the size ot the offend-
er, they are giving advice which the
Eoglish government has never been
known to follow. Ifthere ever was a
grasping, avaricious people and a. gov-
ernmental policy which has rathlessly
trampled upon and subjugated every
little unprorecied island or colony,
you can rest assured that it is Boglish
Pe Washington Post answers the
Times in ine following forcible article :
“No doubt the President and the
Secretary of Siate have been profound-
ly aftecied bv the advice of the Lon.
don Times in the matter of the outraze
on American seamen at Valparaiso.
If there is one thing which the
United States desires above all others,
it is the assent aud approval of Eng-
land in our management of our own
affairs (?)
According to the London Times, we
are in danger of making a mistake in
| dealing with Chili. It strikes the
. Times as hasty and imprudent in us to
resent the butchery of our seamen by a
mob led by persons in Chilian uniform
"and encouraged by the openly express-
el approval of the community. The @ aa ‘
’ clates were receiving the full benefits | 1€ ® :
| hibit a worthy one will now be given.
Times speaks teelingly of great nations
acting severely towards weaker ones.
| Reading its high-minded expostula-
tions, one is almost persuaded to forget
that the history of England for the past
( hundred years is one unbroken record
of spoilation and oppression of helpless
countries and communities, In all
| that time England has not undertaken
| a war single handed with so much as
even a second rate Power. All Europe
.was called to help suppress Napoleon,
and France and Turkey were enlisted
as allies in the trouble with Russia
some forty years ago.
England has been cheerful at home
in thrashing half-naked barbarians,
armed with boomerangs and clubs,
and has never found moral difficulties
in the way of appropriating their port-
able property. She has kept a mili-
tary establishment in Egypt under the
plea of a tender solicitude tor the pre
servation of order in that country, and
at intervals, none too lengthy, has sent
expeditions into the country for the
purpose, as the English themselves
describe it, of “potting niggers” who
venture to be refractory. Let a Brit-
ish missionary once squat on the shore
of a land containing valuables, and a
British trader follows with a bag of
bead and bangles and it is a matter ot
mathematical calculation how soon a
British army will come along to kill
off the male population and annex che
territory in the name of civilization.”

Protection That Didn't Protect.
We can scarcely be charged with an
attempt to influence voters, now that
tie election is over, in calling the at-
tention of workingmen to another il
lusiraiion of the way a tariff protects
their interests. They know how they
have been appealed to to vote the re-
publican ticket, because that party fa-
vored protection and because, as they
creased wages. They will remember
thatall through the eampaisn just
closed, the charge was made by the
democratic press, that not in a gingle
instance could it be shown that their
had been any increase of wages in any
manulactory or by any interests receiv-
ing protection under the McKinley
bill. They will remember also that ne
instance of the kind was discovered,
but to the contrary, it was pointed out
were told, protection insured them in- |
that firm afer firm reaping the
benelits cf the higher prices thas pro-
tection brought, had reduced the wages
of their workingmean and that the first
year's experience under the McKrxrey
tariff, showed the condition of the la-
borer to be worse than before its enact-
ment,
We have another illustration now of |
the manner in which protection, pro-
tects the workingman, Many of them |
| know of the firm ot Jonms & Laven: |
LIN, of Pittsburg. It is one of the big |
{iron manufacturing concerns of this |
State. Its members are howling re-
publicans, and are always ready to
{pull their pocket books to buy votes !
for protection, or to bulldoze their men |
| into voting the republican ticket. The
| head of the firm, Mr. JoNgs, was |
| chairman of the republican national |
committee in 1884. He is a ranting
| advocate of protection, and is one of |
the kind who always avowed that pro-
tection was for the benefit of the work- |
ingmeu ; that the higher the protec. |
tion was the higher the wages of those
who worked would be.
Mr. JoNms received his protection
and every pound of iron that
came out of his capulo’s or pass-
ed through his shops was increased in !
price. [lis men waited patiently, tor
aimost a year, for the change in their
wages that protection was to bring.
li came. Tuey had been receiving
$1.50 per day up to November 5th, and
on that day a notice was posted in the
works that after six o'clock on the
morning of November 61h they would
receive $1.35 cents per day. A. reduc-
tion inwages of just ten per cent. And
this teo while Mr. Jones and his asso- |
which the highest kind of a high protec-
tive 1ariff brings.
As it is with Mr. JoNEs, so it is with
other protected industries. They
pocket the benefits and pay laborers
what they please.
The time may come when working-
men will open their eyes to the fact,
that he who tells them “protection” is
intended to protect them, and that un-
der provisions of a protective tariff
their earnings will be increased and
their labor better rewarded, is telling
them that which is not true. The pro-
tection the republican party and the
McKinley bill gives is for the Joxgs’ of
the country. It is not for the man
who works.
Don't Show: Well.
It would do our eyes good if some
one would show us any evidence going
to prove that a single republican gran-
ger in the county cut the regular re.
publican ring ticket er cast his vote for
a brother granger who was on the
Democratic ticket, as a candidate for
State Treasurer. kf any one did so the
returns do not show it. We have fig-
ured over the tables of voles, as return-
ed, until we have grown weary, and
can find no other facts bearing upon
the independence of the granger vote
than the following: Twenty-three
democratic grangers cut the Democrat-
ic crandidate for Auditor General, and
of these twenty-three, six of them vot-
ed for Grraa, the republican nominee,
thus giving TILDEN twentv-three more
votes in the county than was given to
Wricur, and running Greca twelve
votes ahead of Morrison, If there is
any evidence that Mr, TILDEN received
a single republican granger vote, be-
cause he was a granger, we know not
where it is. Democrats belonging to
that organization can, from these fig-
ures, estimate the amount of political
independence there is in their brethren
of opposite political Iaith.
NO. 44.
Is Calvanism Declining
From the Philadelphia Times,
If the New York Presbytery can be
regarded as fairly representing the
Presbyterian body in America, it looks
as though the old time Calvinism were
no longer to be held as a distinctive
test. The revision of the Westminis-
ter standards unanimously recommend-
ed by a committee of this Presbytery,
“without impairing in the least our
system of doctrine,” certainly modifies
the assertion of that system to a signi-
ficant extent.
It is proposed that the section on
sovereign election should be so recast
“as to express the truth that God's
chosen people in Christ are a great
multitude which no man ean number;”
that all reference to sovereign preteri-
tion, eternal foreordination to everlast-
ing death, any doctrine of non-eleetion
should be omitted, including the sen-
tence, “neither are any other redeemed
by Christ bat the elect only,” and that
a new section should he adopted setting
forth that “the doctrine of God's sover-
eign election is to be received and in-
i terpreted in harmony with that truth
that He isnot willing that any should
perish.” ete. All statements which re-
strict saving grace to the elect alone
should also be omitted.
This is not the proper place to dis-
| cuss the propriety of the changes pro-
posed tothe New York Presbytery,
but it is impossible to over look their
significance, in connection with the re-
cent discussions in the same body con-
cerning other features of the Westnrin-
ister Confession. Whether or not if
indicates a positive disbeliet in the Cal.
vinistic system, it certainly indicates a
growing tendency to subordinate all
sueh speculative theology, which is the
basis of sectarianism, to the andisput-
ed ereeds of christendom.
This is a tendency not confined to
the Presbyterian Church, and it is one
that makes the dream of Christian ye-
union seem not altogether vain..

The Great Fair.
From the Harrisburg Patriot.
Up to this t'me Pennsylvania bas
not shown any remarkable interest in
the World's fair project. She has ap
propriated $300,000 toward getting
ready for an exhibit and supplying a
building, ber governor has appointed a
‘ commission and issued a proclamation,
- and her commission has probably dose
fully as much as such a body could be
expected to do vp to this time.
Bat Pennsylvania,asithe second state
of the Union, ought to be doing more
than doing as. well as-other states—she
ought to be doing better—she ought to
be leading. Her experience with ti.e
wonderful and successtul World's fair
of 1876 gives her great advantages over
other states; her own resources, op-
portunities and energy ought to keep
her well in.front in advancing the Co-
lumbian exposition. Perhaps the Zov-
ernor’s proclamation: was needed as a
stimulant. Certainly a stimulant of
some kind. was needed. We may hope
that needed assistance from all parts ot
the state to make Pennsylvania's ex-
Bank Wreeking..
From the-Seranton Truth.
Here within a year are three of the.
most wicked exhibitions of fiduciary
dishonesty, in the annals of banking,
the Keystone, the Ulster county and.
now the Maverick, and the head of the
barking system, so far as he has
shown any activity in the seandal, is
trying to mitigate blame and screen the
guilty. How long can the banking
system stand such occurrences as these ?
Who can conjecture where the next
pillaged vaults will be discovered?
What security has the depositor any-
where with such slack supervision as
Washington officials maintain? Gen-
eral Jackson destroyed the National
bank because he thought its corruption
a menace to the republic. Is the Na-
tional banking system a security when
such robberies as this year has witness-
ed go on unrebuked, unpunished, uaex-

- The Brazilian Situatien.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Usurpation in Brazil has rapidly
worked its only legitimate.result—rewe-
lution. The dictatorship of Da Fon.
seca has been promptly challenged by
three provinces of the Brazilian con-
federation, and a resort to arms may
be necessary in order to maintain the
authority of the central administration
in Paris, Bahia, and Rio Grande do
Sul. These are three of the largest
and most importacs political sections
of Brazil, and their permanent se-
cession would cause a division of
that vast country, as’ large
as all Earope, into a number of
minor States possessing neither the ter- |
ritorial extent nor the financial re-
sources necessary to maintain a posi-
tion in jthe front rank of South Ameri -
can countries. Whatever may be the
outcome, it has been made clear that
the independent people of Brazil will
tolerate no dictatorship, and the call to
arms for liberty’s sake in the States
menaced by the usurping dictator is
not likely to lack instant response,
