Protection ‘“In a Horn”
Its a queer way our government has,
under its Republican tariff system, of
protecting the interests of the masses.
It pays out millions of dollars yearly
to watch every port of entry and to
keep out such necessaries of life as the
working people and poorer classes
need. !
It acts on the presumption that a
scarcity of articles that the common
people use, such as clothing, tin, glass,
cutlery, tools, etc., makes a country
prosperous, and that the higher price
that workingmen and others are
compelled to pay for the needful arti-
cles of every day use, the better they
are off.
To accomplish this it pays enormous
The Grant Mausoleum.
The Corner Stone Laid Wedensday in Riverside
Park.—Immense Concourse of People.
i a i nin
New York, April 27.—The first
stone of the great mausoleum which is
to perpetuate the memory of General
Ulysses 'S. Grant was laid in Riverside
Park at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
President Harrison, in the presence of
his cabinet and thousands of citizens,
laid the granite block upon which is to
be builded a tomb worthy of the na-
tion and the nation’s hero. The cere-
monies were impressive and the
‘weather favored. Long before the
‘hour set for the ceremony the park
presented an animated appearance.
President Harrison arrived at 1.30.
He entered the park, and when the
crowd beheld the coach the chief mag-
istrate of the nation was given an ova-
tion. The president was accompanied
by several members of the cabinet, and
amounts for custom officers at every
port of entry to tab and tax every dol-
lar’s worth of goods that is brought to
our shores, before it is allowed to land.

Of Course He Was.
The papersireport that Mr. TAGGERT,
the Grangericandidate for congressman
at large, before the late Republican
convention, and who was defeated by
Mr. LitLy, a henchman of Cameron
and a representative corporationist,
expresses himself as “entirely satisfied
with the results of that convention” and
heartily in sympathy with the success-
ful candidates.
Of course he is. Mr, TAGGERT is
one of the kind who is satisfied with
anything the Republican ring does.
A little over a year ago he started out,
as a legislator, with a blare of trumpets,
to fight the re-election of senator Cam-
ERON, and before the legislature ad-
Jjourned}he was one of the most subser-
vient tools the CameroN crowd, in that
“body, had. He was eelected” by the
Grangers as their representative
spokesman inltheir fight for an equal-
ization of taxes and came out of the
contest ‘entirely satisfied,” with a tax-
bill that gave the corporations just what
they wanted and the Grangers nothing
more than they had before the fight for
tax reform commenced. He was “‘en-
tirely satisfied” last fall to obey the
dictum of the Republican State ring,
and to support a candidate for State
Treasurer who was notoriously known
as a friend of} corporate power and an
instrument of monopolies, as against a
brother Granger who had been nowmin-
ated by thefDemocrats.
It'is an easy matter for the Republi-
can party to ‘satisfy’ Mr.TaccerT. No
cropped-tailed wether ever followed the
bell of the leader of his flock closer or
more meekly than/does Mr. TaceErr,
the orders ofthe Republican ring, about
which he fhas so much eyil to say
when desiring Democratic votes. It
has always been thus, and it will con-
tinue to beso. Heis a Republican—a
simon-pure, unadulterated Republican
—what ever that may mean, and his
pretense of[Grangerism and the inde-
pendence that position should insure,
is as hollow as an empty barrel and
thinner than a gauze shirt.

Should Be Encouraged.
ALBErT A. Porg, Esq., of Boston, has
written an open letter to the people of
the United States urging that influence
be brought to bear upon the board of
managers of the Columbian Exposi-
tion, to induce them to make a separ-
ate and distinct exhibition of cross sec-
tions of different kinds of roads, suita-
. ble to different sections of the country,
and of such road making machinery,
theories of road making and data as to
cost, as will give the people an intelli-
gent idea of how good public roads
can be made, the necessity for them
anl their probable cost.
To assist in this work Mr. Pork of-
fers to contribute $100 towards what-
ever extra expense would be entailed
by such an exhibit, and very truthfully
states that a comprehensive road exhi-
bit at the exposition would prove a
most powerful factor to bring about
legislation that wou'd secure the con-
struction and maintenance of good
roads.
In his efforts to create a sentiment
in favor of better roads Mr. Porg de.
serves and should receive the most
earnest sympathy and support of the
public for whose use our roads are in-
tended ; but whether sufficient interest
in this matter can be secured to cause
those having charge of this portion of
the exposition, to lay the foundation
for an enlightened public feeling that
will eventually secure the construction
of better roads, remains to be seen.
The public road question is one of
most serious import to every state in
the union and nothing that can be
done to enlighten the public or arouse
the people to the necessity of bettering
their own condition by bettering the
roads they are constantly compelled
to use, should be overlooked or left
undone,
Canadian line and down along the
Mexican border for fear some poor-fel-
low, who has been away from home,
may bring back a new suit for himself,
or some little articles for his family,
that the government has not had an
Opportunity to tax.
Thus it attempts to create a scarcity
of the very things most needed by our
people, and to insure high prices for
such articles as those least able to
purchase them, must have.
Oa the other hand its ports are open
to the free-est emigration and the very
labor—European pauper labor—that
the advocates of protection allege they
are keeping from competition with the
labor of our country, is landed by ship
loads and forwarded to every State in
the Union, to reduce the price our own
workingmen get, and to make labor so
plenty that protected employers can
secure it at their own figure.
The papers of Tuesday last tell us
that over 2,000 emigrants were landed,
in New York, on|Monday ; that during
the month of March there were 53,789
arrivals, and that for the nine months
ending with the first of April, there
were 363,000, of these cheap European
laborers, dumped out of foreign ships,
to crowd out of employment or cut
down the price paid to our own work-
ingmen, who submit to a tax on every
thing they eat and wear, for the pur-
pose of being “protected.”
With every avenue of entry watched
to keep out necessaries the poorer
classes need, and with every port wide
open to receive and welcome all the
cheap labor that wants to come to this
country, is a telling, if not a pleasing
example, of the way Republican tariffs
“protect” the masses of the country.
Should be Kept There.
And now Mr. Frank WiLLiNeg
Leac threatens to resign his position
as secretary of the Republican State
committee. Whai a lossi Really we
can scarcely realize what that party
will do, or how it will get along, without
this manipulator of convention figures
and depository of Quay’s secrets at
its head. Without some one possess-
ing the qualifications to make figures
lie, just as much as the Republican
needs require, at its head, that party
would stand no more chance, than a
pantless mao would in a blackberry
patch, and we are confident that the
Repuvblicans of Pennsylvania do not
realize the great loss that threatens
them in Leacu’s threat ito "quit. He
is a rascal born and bred toit; has a
knowledge of all the crooked ways
that has brought Republican success
in Pennsylvania for years, and if that
party don’t want to lose the benefit of
methods that have kept it on top, the
systems of counting that bave made
the lesser numbers the majorities, they
had better keep Mr, LeacH where he
is or hire him to give a few lessons to
some of their other aspiring rascals.
A party that relies upon false cou nts
needs a false counter at its head.

Tried Suicide at 14.
A Manayunk Lad, Piqued at a Scolding, At-

Joseph Zimmerman, aged 14 years,
son of John Zimmerman, Third and
Bristol streets, Manayunk, attempted
suicide by hanging in the barn Tues-
day afternoon. Mrs Zimmerman had
scolded Joseph for some misdeed, and he
declared he would kill himself. Throw-
ing a noosed rope over a rafter in the
barn, he placed 1t about his neck, stood
upon a box and tried to kick the box
from under his feet. A smaller brother
saw Joseph hanging and gave the alarm.

The employees of the North Read--
they all witnessed the ceremony ex-
. cept Secretary Blaine. Mr. Blaine’s
: health was the reason assigned for his
"absence. The state department was,
: however, represented. The whole
ceremoney was civic from every point
of view.
Notable among those who gathered
around the bier of the hero” of Appo-
matox were Generals Howard, Slocum,
Schofield and Dodge, the only living
Generals who were associated with
Grant in the great civil struggle.
Around the space where the monu-
ment will be reared wae arranged an
improvised platform. On this were
clustered the President, Mrs. Grant
and family, and the 2,487 committee-
men, through whose efforts the fund
was raised. It was just a few minutes
before 2 o'clock when the U. S. Ma-
rine band made the air resound with
the national air “Hail to the Chief.”
After the strains had died in the dis-
tance, Rev. John Hall, of the Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian church, offered
up a prayer.
General Horace Porter, president of
the Grant Monument association, then
in brief speech reviewéd the work
done by the association, and expressed
the determination to complete the
raising the sum required to erect the
monument by next Decoration Day,
the 30th of May.
When he concluded the corner stone
was swung into place, and President
Harrison placed the first cement upon
it with a trowel made of gold.
Chauncey M. Depew then delivered
the oration of the day.

Inmates Rule A Prison.
A Guard at Huntingdon gets Sand in his Eyes.
Another Revolt When the Monitor was As saul-

Hu~TiNGDON, Pa., April 25. There
was another mutiny at the State
Reformatory here this morning, and the
incorrigibles appear determined to set all
authority at defiance in the vain hope
that they may gain their liberty in the
same way as the boys who were recent-
ly released from Moyamensing Prison at
Philadelphia.
DEADLY ASSAULT ON A MONITOR.
A gang of inmates, employed in the
brush factory, under the leadership of
Thomas Shirley and John Winslow, of
Philadelphia, made a deadly assault on
Monitor Stilholm with fists and other
weapons, and the monitor was saved on-
ly by the timely arrival of the guards.
As the gates were opened this morning
Harry Angel, of Philadelphia, and Ed-
ward Williams, of Washington, Pa.,
threw sand into the guards eyes and es-
caped. They were recaptured after a
hot chase. Angel is the prisoner who
escaped twice before by placing a dum-
my in his bed.
THE INCORRIGIBLES LOCKED UP.
The reformatory management will
now closely confine the 30 incorrigible
inmates, until the Attorney General
shall decide as to the legality of their
plea to have the incorrigibles returned
to the counties from which they came,
or until their terms expire.

Sends a Letter to County
Secretary Harrity has addressed the
following to the county commissioners
of the state : “I think it proper to re-
quest that you call the particular atten-
tion of the chairman of county commit-
tees, und of others who may bein a posi-
tion to give information upon the sub-
Jeet, to the importance of exercising
great care in the matter of certifying
nominations to tha state department, as
well as in certifying nominations to
county commissioners and township
auditors. The certification _of.some
nominations of legislative candidates
already made discloses the fact that
sufficient care has not been taken by
those whose duty it has been to certify
such nomination. If errors in certifica-
"ies are not avoided confusion and trou-
ble will ensue, Instructions sent by
you to the chairman of county commit-
tees and others connected with political
organizations, will be of great benefit
in preventing errors in certifications,
In this connection I venture to suggest
that copies of the official form of certifi-
cation should be sent out with such in-
structions.”

- Prr1sBURG, April 26.—The election
of a mayor of Alle heny to serve the
unexpired term of James G. Wymen,
resigned, took place to-day, being the
first under the Baker ballot law. Major
William M. Kennedy, republican, was
the only candidate and in consequence
the vote was light. There is consider.
able machinery about the new system
and there was more or less friction. In
a few of the precincts were the law is
pretty well understood, things went
along very well, but this was not the cuse
throughout the city. The change trom
the old system to the present law is a
big one, and the new law isso unlike
the old that men cannot be expected to
grasp the situation at once. For in-
stance very few boards knew that they
had to have the oid ballot box on hand
in order to get the register list, as the
law requires them to have two, At
noon to-day not more than one-half ‘of
hall, where they %are deposited. Anoth-
er thing the law requires that booths
shall be provided with shelves and can-
dles. In a number of those visited this
morning there were no shelves and the
voter was compelled to hold the ticket
up against the partition to mark i.
There were no candles furnished for any
of the booths. In the Fifth precinct of
the Second ward it was 10 o'clock be-
fore a single ballot was cast. The elec-
tion board got into a dispute as to who
should deposit the ballotin the box.
One claimed the voter, another the judge
and another the inspector. It was
finally settled in favor of the inspector.
It is believed that when the election
officers become more conversant with
their changed duties thatthe new law
will be more of a success.

erous Other Structures Fall a Prey to the
Flames— Details of the Conflagration.
PHILADELPHIA, April, 27.—At ten
minutes to eight the stage hands of the
Central Theatre had all the prepara
tions made for the performance of the
“Devil's Auction,” and one. ot the at
taches was in the act of lighting the
gas jets over head, known as the board-
er lights. While passing the torch
along the second row of these lights, a
suspended scene became: ignited, and
in an instant the entire loft was an im-
mense blaze. The alarm was at once
give and all the stage’s hands did their
best to smoulder the flames, but the
fire spread too rapidly, Charley Yale,
The’ manager of Mr. Gilmore's em.
pibyees was near the spot where the
fire originated, and suddenly threw
open all the exits of the auditorium and
rushed to the office on the second floor
on the Walnut street side ofthe theatre
and had just time enough to close the
safe when the smoke and flames drove
him from the room to the fire escape
on the front wall.
EXTENT OF THE FIRE.
A million dollars gone up in flames
and smoke, and nearly an entire square
consumed, is the record of the fire.
The territory devastated by the flames
is bounded on the north by Sansom
on the east by Eighth street and on the
west by Ninth street. In the block
were the Central theatre, now a smould-
ering ruin, and the historical’ old Wal-
nut street theatre, which was not
reached by the fire. The Zimes annex,
which stood directly in the rear of the
Central theatre where the flames orig-
inated, is also in ruins. In addition to
the Times, which occupied two floors
and the basement, the building was oc-
cupied by a number of tenement houses,
whose loss will be heavy. The amount
is impossible to give at this hour as the
fire, which is under control, is still
burning. Taggert’s Sunday Times and
Poulson hotel, which stands on Wal.
nut street above the theatre, are badly
gatted and the loss will be heavy. All
the buildings on Eighth street between
Walnut and Sansom are badly damag-
ed by fire, smoke and water, as are
those fronting on Walnut street. At
this hour a careful estimate places the
entire loss at over a $1,000,000 and it is
said that the insurance will not reach
$400,000.
ESCAPED LIKE RATS.
In the Devil's Auction company
were forty-two people, twenty men and
twenty-two women. The stage man-
ager ‘of the company reports that all
are accounted for. Some are, how-
ever, badly burned, and all iost their
street clothing and valuables. The rush
down the fire escapes was thrilling.
Like rats the men and boys of the gal-
leries rolled and tumbled down with an
occasional clutch at a rod or support
to stay their flight. Many fell, but
very few paused in their journey, and
landed on the sidewalk ‘with broken
arms and otherinjuries. It was miracul-
ous that no one was killed. At the hos-
pitals crowds of friends and relatives
swarmed around the gates looking for
information about missing friends until
long after midnight,
LOOKING AFTER THE “‘rIMES.”
William M. Singerly, of the Record,
offered Mr. McLaughlin the use of the
Record presses, composing and editor-
ial rooms, Mr. McLaughlin thanked
Colonel Singerly for his kind offer and
accepted it. He then issued orders to
send all members of the editorial and
reportorial staff and printers to the Re-
cord building. Colonel McClure went
there to do his editcrial work. Mr.
R. J. Cook, of the Press and Mr.
George W. Childs, of the Ledger, also
tendered Mr. McLaughlin the use of
the Ledger annex on Sansom street,
Mr. McLaughlin, in speaking of the
fire said: “No time will be lost in re.
building the annex. I.do not think
the building could be improved upon.
The building cost $150,000. There
were three printing presses which cost
$40,000 apiece, besides there was the
entire stereotypingdepartment.” Mr.
McLaughlin said : “I should judge
that the insurance of the building was
about $100,000, on the presses about
$60,000. I estimate the entire loss
will be between $300,000 and $350,000.
The total insurance may amount to
$200,000.
FOUR TIMES BURNED.
This is the fourth fire that has visit-
ed the site where the smouldering ruins
of the Central theatre lies. In 1861,
thirteen ballet girls were roasted to
death. Again in 1867 disaster came.
It was burned to the ground, and sev-
en men and four firemen were crushed
under falling walls,

The band of itself is a most excellent
organization and its execution was

were a trifle timid, however, and their
evident embarrassment detracted greatly
