the other departments as occurred in the
State Treasury following the election of
BErrY. Probably STUART doesn’t mean
to deceive the public by his promises of
reform. Bat everybody koows that he
will not be able to carry out his pledges.
The esteemed Philadelphia Record shares
our opinion that President GOMPERS is
misdirecting his energies in bis campaign
against Speaker CANNON. ‘‘GOMPERS
cannot defeat Speaker CANNON," the Rec-
ord says. ‘‘He might make a successful
contest,” it adds, ‘‘against the more vul-
perable DEEMER,’’ meaning the Republi-
ean candidate for Congress in the Fifteenth

triot is not what is called an industrial
section. DEEMER bad 5,619 and his is
one of the agricuitural districts of Penn-
sylvania, though it contains a mining sec-
tion and the Democratic candidate is an
official of the mine workers organization.
The esteemed Record is accurate in its
judgment. DEEMER is volnerable and the
energy and intelligence which Mr. Goue-
ERS put into the fight against Representa-
tive LITTLEFIELD, of Maine, invested in a
campaign against him would certainly
compass his defeat. The same is true of
the Fourteenth, Nineteeth and Twenty-
first districts of this State. Ordinarily Re-
publican by safe margins, the ROOSEVELT
tidal wave of two years ago ran up the ma-
jorities to 4,479, 4,098 and 4,882, respect-
ively. But the changed conditions and
the machine proclivities of the Represen-
tatives then chosen have made the defeat
of the Republican candidates not only pos-
gible hut probable, and with Mr. Gop.
ERs’ help absolutely certain. The Six-
teenth and Twentieth districts are nomi-
pally Democratic and the Federation of La-
bor could easily make them ovewbelming-
ly so this year.
Thus with ball the labor which Mr.
GOMPERS will expend in an effort to de-
feat Speaker CANNON, which will not suc-
ceed, he might make certain the defeat of
five candidates in this State, all of whom,
it elected, will vose for CANNON for Speak-
er. In thie district, for instance, Mr.
BERRY had 4,046 majority for State Treas-
urer. Taking from that aggregate the 2,-
319 Prohibition votes he has still 1,727 to
the good which may be counted as the
vote of the Democratic candidate if it is
polled. The Labor vote added to this
would increase the total beyond the BER-
RY majority and guarantee a vote against
CANNON for Speaker and in favor of a
Speaker who would promote rather than
stifle just labor legislation. The result in
other districts under similar conditions
would be precisely the same.
Even on the floor Speaker CANNON isa
dangerous man. His vast experience, his
considerable ability and his absolute in-
difference to moral obligations give him a
power that is possessed by few. But with
a Speaker not in sympathy with his par-
poses and a aules committee guided by
principles of justice, Speaker CANNON
could accomplish little. As the paid agent
of monopolies and other corporate interests
be has been able to prevents the considera-
tion of labor legislation absolutely. For
that reason it is clearly the interest of la-
bor to keep him out of the chair. It being
impossible to keep him out of the body the
only course open is to prevent the election
of Congressmen who will vote for Speaker.
Every Repablican in the Pennsylvania
delegation will vote for him.
entering upon a full-fledged crusade for the
purpose of instilling into the hearts of
loyal but phlegmatic Americans greater
enthusiasm than at present prevails when
the band plays ‘America.’ One of the
members wants a greater measure of ‘‘rev-
erence among the school children for the
flag and the National anthem,” and an-
other ‘“‘sweet sister’’ insisted that ‘‘Ameri-
can men and women should learn to etand
up when ‘The Star Spangled bauper’ is
sung or played.” |
We own to the impossibility of finding
language sufficiently strong to express our
approbation of this movement. We bave
been tossing sleeplessly in our downey bed
throogh long and weary nights worrying
over the abatement of enthusiam and the
decadence of patriotism throughout the
length and breadth of this land of liberty
upon his duties. The funds were all safe,
they add,and pot a penny had been stolen.
The recent revelations in regard to the
building of the capitol serve as an ample
answer to that false claim. As a matter
of fact there had been in practice for many
years a system of graft that under the
sanction of Jaw robbed the treasury of
bundreds of thousands of dollars annually.
It was robbery in a small way but in the
aggregate it amounted to vast sums. It
was a constant leakage at hundreds of
places.
Here is ap example. Since Mr. BERRY
bas become a member of the Board of
Public Grounds and Buildings a contract
for several thousand feet of granolythic
pavement for walks in and about the capi-
tol park was to be given out. The lowest
bid was fifty-six cents a foot. Mr. BERRY
said it was exorbitant and added that he
bad had such pavement laid about his
property at home for eighteen cents a foot.
But, he was informed, it was proposed to
make the concrete in this walk eighteen
inches thick, and in view of that fact the
price was moderate, whereupon, he allow-
ed the award to be made. Subsequently
when the pavement was being laid be ex-
amined the work and found that the con-
crete was only three inches thick and pro-
tested to the contractor. ‘‘There is noth-
ing in the contract requiring eighteen
inches of concrete,’ the contractor replied
and there was no recourse.
Another case in point. At a recent ses-
gion of the Board a bill was presented for
$875 for a flag pole for the capitol baild-
ing. Mr. BERRY protested that the price
was exorbitant and was told that it bad to
be brought all the way from Oregon and
three cars were required to carry it. Even
at that he declared it was excessive and the
Governor asked him how much it ought to
cost. He said he didn’t know exactly but |
could find out in a short time. Then he
called up CrAMP'S shipyard by phone,
made the inquiry and got a reply that it
could be put in place fo $175. That bill
has not been paid.
These are small items, of course, but
they represent the system at the State
capital and in the aggregate amount to
vast sume.

the enthusiasm of our welcome to the pro-

agined but not described. It isan oasis of
patriotism in a desert of disloyalty.
It has occurred to us at times, however,

over the flag and the patri otic songs. There

My. Young's Perfidy.
Weaver Reveals the Cloven Foot.
Recent incidents have revealed the real
character of JoHN WEAVER, Mayor of
Philadelphia. His pretense of reform bas
been proven false. The man who treacher-
ously betrayed the public in order to give
SALTER immunity from the penalty of
ballot box stuffing, couldn’t be anything
other than a fraud. Why be broke away
from the machine may never be known.
Mutual interests may keep the lips of
DugrHAM and McNICHOL sealed on that
subject for all time. For two years iv the
office of Mayor he had heen a shelter to
eriminale. The white slave traffic and other
infamous vices bad prospered under bis
sanction. The looting of the treasury was
unrestrained and the protests of the pub-
lic disregarded. Crime was encouraged
and criminals protected within the shadow
of his office.
His sudden conversion was the wonder
of the moment. Conjecture as to the cause
of it wae freely indulged but no explana-
tion given. Meantime be accepted the
plaudits of the public and revelled in the
luxury of popular admiration. He was
cheered on the streets as the hero of some
great achievement. He walked in the air,
figuratively speaking, and touched ‘‘only
the high places’ in his exultation. At the
time we cautioned the hero worshippers
against excessive enthusiasm. You can’t
“‘make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear,”’ and
we couldn’t eee how it was possible that a
District Attorney who had fixed a jory in
order to secure the escape of a criminal
could become a genuine reformer over
night. The thing bad a fishy flavor.
What caused Mayor WEAVER to abandon
his machine associates in crime may never
be known, as we havesaid. But it is easy
to guess what he expected to get out of
it alter he discovered the effect on the pub-
lic mind. He soon discerned visions of
exaulted office. He at once set himself to
scheming for the Governorship. He tried
to get the LINCOLN pasty nomination and
after failing in that attempted to get the
nomination of any other party in order to
effect a fusion. But hic hopes failed of
fraition and he turned his attention to the
The surreptitious disbursements in the
construction of the state capitol have in-
creased from six to nine million dollars
under the closer scrutiny of State Treasurer
BERRY. The total cost of the building is
now up to $13,000,000 and still climbing.
The probabilities are that in the end
$15,000,000 will have been expended under
an appropriation of $4,000,000.
Every dollar of this illegal expenditure
must have been made with the sanction of
RoperT K. YOUNG,counsel for the build-
ing commission. He was paid a generous
salary and his business was to bold the
eontractor and the architect to the plans
and specifications upon which the contract
was let. We all remember the beautiful
design of the building which was pablish-
ed. It contained marble stairways, fine
ceilings, strone walls, marble floors, carved
window frames and everything belonging
to a modern building of the best type. Mr.
YOUNG'S oath of office required him to hold
the contractor to every condition set down
in the plans.
How bas he discharged that duty ? The
walls were built and the roof put on at the
expense of the building commission out of
$4,000,000 appropriated for the construction
of a capitol building and everything else
was paid for unlawfully out of money in
the treasury not appropriated atall. In
violation of his oath Mr. YOUNG consented
to this looting for it would not have been
Stuart's Faise Promise.
Mr. EDWIN 8. STUART is making some
very harmless speeches wherever be can
get an audience to listen to them through-
out the State, bat they don’t stand for
much. He says be will adopt all the re-
forms promised in the Republican platform
but QUAY said such things frequently.
Four years ago Judge PENNYPACKER as-
sured the public in almost every county
in the State that he would inaugurate all
the reforms that the people demanded.
Bat he has done nothing in the shape of
reform. As a matter of fact his administra-
tion has been the worst in the bistory of
the State. The unlawful expenditures for
the construction of the capitol must have
been made with bis assent.
Everybody knows that in the event of
Mr. STUART'S election there will be no
reforms. Such a result of the vote will be
justly interpreted as an endorsement of the
past as it will certainly work a restoration
of the machine to power. We concede Mr.
STUART is persovally honest. He would
not, if he could, participate in graft or
other forms of crime. But be wouldn't even
attempt to restrain the machine managers in
their predatory operations. He isn’t strong
enough to go up against such a proposition.
While he was Mayor of Philadelphia the
machive was organized. His placidity re-
vealed the possibilities in the line of
graft and it has been a protected industry
ever since.

government in this State isto complete

tain of gold from which the plunder flow-

Will the people ratify this award of rec-
reancy by electing YOUNG to an office
which will give him vast opportunities to
repeat the crimes. As Auditor General be
could maintain a source of graft which
would yield wealth beyond the dreams of
avarice. He bas shown his willioguess to
serve the machine in this way and PEN-
