VOL. 54 My, What a Fass! It the PrUNER orphanage hasn’t been able to cause the unearthing of more than one inmate since its opening it has been the centre around which there bas been no end of commotion for the past week or more. All of itstarted when W. MiILEs WALKER, of this place, and J. T. ATLEE, of Tyrone, were appointed suditors 0 go zver and make an accounting of the trust since the death of the benefactor Col. E. J. PRUNEE. The result of their efforts isa very concise and intelligent statement of income and expenditures covering a period of five years. Accompanying the state- mens are some saggestions for the good of the estate, no doubt inspired by the careful investigation the auditors must have given its affairs in order to secure the complete accounting they presect. But here is the rub. Resolutions were passed by the Tyrone council censuring the auditors for making euch suggestions avd incidentally, Belle fonte council was asked to withhold ap- proval of the bills presented by the sudi- tors for sheir services. Naturally the andi- tors got mad. Then the auditors had sar- obarged Dr. R. G. H. Haves with $200.00 of his bill for managing the business insme- diately after the death of Col. PRUNER and before anyone else was authorized to take charge of it. Honestly we don’s think Dr. HAYES was mad, bat he had a right to be. Council made good to bim on Monday nighs by directing the auditors to with draw the surcharge and there was another fuss in that lately serene hody. And now it appears that the poor inno- cent WATCHMAN has hurt somebody’s feelings when it had no more intention of doing it thao it bas of supporting the next Republican candidate for President. Is merely published a statement to the effect that the anditors had said the estate had not been properly managed, meaniog of course, during the time whep no one was actually authorized or responsible for its management, and they tell us that Mr. JARED HARPER, one uf board of managers during the past year, war grievously wounded ; considering the article a reflec ion on kim. He bas resigned from the 4 and w Sai now we said ppointed thas hoard has | lost a good man ; especially good for that kind of work hecause he is consoientions, piudens and practical. We trust that the various dissenting and dissatisfied elements will ges their troubles fixed up. And while the WATCHMAN was opposed to the orphanage proposition solely on the ground that it did not . lieve there would be enough income to sapport it ite opposition ended when the councils of the boroughs of Bellefonte aud Tyrone decided to undertake is. Therefore we would not do or eay anything inimical to the best interests of the institation and if we were disposed to criticise we would join cause with the auditors, for they were right in intimatiog that some reforms are necessary in handling an estate valued at $60,000 00 that bas accumulated only $2900.00 ina period of five years. a — Cruel Process of the Steel Trust. The executive committee of the Steel Trust has practically determined to make a out of filteen per cent. in the wages of all its employees. The aggregate wages of the employees of the Steel trust is $160,000,000. Of this amonnt filteen per cents. is $24,000, - 000. There are 200,000 men on the pay roll of she Steel trust and probably they feed more than a million mouths. Taking $24,000,000 ous of their earnings will create many a sad hears. It would be bad enough if necessary. Asan expedient to foroe un- just legislation it is a orime worse than cold blooded marder. ANDREW CARNEGIE has said that there is no necessity for tariff tax on steel prod- wots in this country. We can make steel as cheap as any competitors on the face of the earth, he declares. Intelligent and ohservant people didn’é need this infor- mation from him. The fact that American manufacturers of steel have been for years underselling their competitors in the very homes of those competitors was sufficient evidence on the subject. But the Steel Trast proposes, by a orael process which will spread hanger il not starvation among thousands, to foroe legislation which will perpetuate to them this source of graft. The American people are patient and long suffering or they wouldn't submit to this atrocious outrage. It is encouraging to them, however, to know that they won't bave to submit long. As true as that there is & heaven above the people will resent this orime against their own obildren and those of their neighbors. Bat they will do it in a quiet and lawful way. They will vote down the party which cherishes these oruel criminals at the expense of the peo- ple who labor assiduously and suffer oon- stantly because of the inequality of the burdens of government and the injustioe of the laws of our land. —Patsoribe foi the WATCHMAN now aod get the fall story of *‘Polly of the Cirous.” _egnivooal to. sakisly, she pablie, however, STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL BELLEFONTE, PA., APRIL The Two Pending Tarif Bills. The President bas practially declared bis sympathy with the Republican Senators in Congress as against those of the House of Representatives on the tariff bill. There is not a great deal of difference between the two measures, as a watter of fact. But the President is afraid of the tax on tea direct and the counterveiling tax on coffee, which is an unknown quantity. The oil tax in both measures is a perplexing proposition. The House bill provides for a counterveiling tax on that essentially truss produce. That is to say, it would levy a duty ou oil im- ported equal to the export tax imposed by the country from which it is imported. As Russia is the only country which exports oil and Russia levies a considerable export duty, the proposition contained in the House bill is a practically prohibitive tax and the Republican leaders are very much afraid of the effect of such legislation on the public mind. The Senate bill is preferable to that of the Honse of Representatives in one respect, bowever. It provides for the application of the minimum rates in the beginning. That is to eay, the tax upon a commodity imported shall he fixed at a figure agreed upon whether the country whenoe it comes favors us in trade relations or not. In the event that the country from which the product comes doesn’t inclade the United States among ‘‘the most favored nations,”’ however, it is given a year to get into line and if at the end of that time it has not altered its commercial conditions, the maximum rate, which is practically ipro- hibitive, is puton. The House bill applies she maximum rate in the beginning and onts down il the other country favors us and to some extent, in proportion to the favor. Ol course this is only an expedient #0 justify the highest rate of tariff taxes for at best it will take some time to adjust matters 80 as to ges the minimum rate. Neither of the measures fulfill the prom- ises of the Republican candidate or the party platform, however. The platform pledged tariff revision on a basis that would afford the consumers relief withoat im- pairing the legitimate profits of the Ameri- can manufacturer. That was entirely too and the Republican candidate persovally pledged himself to a tariff revision down- ward. Neither the Senate bill nor the House measure attain this result. The only reductions are upon commodities upon which the DINGLEY rates were prohibitive, and after the reductions are made, they will still be practically se. This is not the tariff reduction which the people demand- ed. They asked for a tariff revision which would save to them the million dollars a day which Mr. VANCLEAVE says is stolen throngh the excessive tariff taxes of the DINGLEY bill from the industrial life of the conntry. More Democratic Treachery. Through the recreanoy of Demoorats the Republican congressional machine won another signal victory on Monday. It was a matter of little consequence, probably, for the result would have been achieved in the end auyway. But the Republican ma chine bad undertaken to force aun arbitrary rule providing for a vote on the PAYNE tariff to-day, and would have failed if the Demoorats had been faithful to eachjother and to the party. Such failure woald have heen damaging to the machine and given the true Democrats more time to expose the iniguity of the measure. The conse- quence was fally appreciated by the ma- chine managers and they exbausted every resource to achieve their victory. A Republican victory obtained in a fair fight is nos Lalt as bad as one acquired by, the prostitution of Demooratio recreants. The industrial and commercial interests of the sonntry would be vastly benefitted by the passage of a tariff bill at this time which would be just to the people. The DINGLEY law robs the industrial life of the country of a million dollars a day through its excessive tariff tax rates. The saving of this vast sum to those who earn it would vot only inspire hope but is would stimulate industrial activity. The PAYNE bill increases the rates by at least twenty per cent. and will continue the robbery. Bat the Demooratio party could endure that iniquity better than it can the treachery of JUDAS ISCARIOTS in its official ranks. The DiNGLEY bill will pass of course, and it will prolong the industrial paralysis | of the present for a time. Baus no guestion is settled until it is settled right. As the nexs congressional election the Demoorate of the South will out out the traitors who have betrayed them and those of the North and South together will elect sufficient of the membership of the House to secure the passage of a bill which will relieve the wage earners of the burdens of excessive tariff taxation. Is isan expensive delay but one for which the Demooratio party ie not responsible except in so far as it is re- sponsible for the traitors who have stolen its livery in which to serve the enemy. " ——Bubsoribe for the WATCHMAN. all 9, 1909. False Prvieuss Mevenied, From the Johostown Democrat. Jones & Laughlin celebrate Taft pros- perity with a noble whoop by cating wages 10 per cent. Bot was it necessary for them to lie abous it in doing doicg so ? “On account of the depression in business due to the fear of a reduction in she tariff,” they eay, “‘it bas become necessary to out down expenses in every direction.” Evi dently Jones & Laughlin think their em- ployes have short memories.

A Chance for the Big Stick. From the Lancaster Intelligencer. The little Central American republio of Nicaragua appears to he at the head of the line for she firat treatment of the big stick to be given under the administration of President Taft. Both Waskington and Southern advices say that diplomatic rela- tions may be severed at any moment, and a curious world will then await develop- ments with the keenest interest, not be- cause the world cares much about the trouble or even understands anything at all about it, but hecause the world wants to know whether Mr. Taft will wield the big stick as Mr. Roosevelt might have been expected to wield it. Just what is going to to President Z:laya and his faction if he fails to adjust things is the point of curious interest. Will there be aotive and armed intervention or a revolu- tion and a readymade republic of the Panama sort with a bill of costs for Uncle Sam? Who knows ? The one thing certain is that the pros- peot of Central American peace aod unity, which seemed so bright and real to some cheerfal people bus a short time ago, was but a dream. The dove of peace will need both gentle and firm suasion to alight upon that Central American peace palace whioh Andrew Carnegie has paid for. All Honorable From the Philadelphia Resord.

They Need Each Other. The World's Work. Exhaust the Surplus. Weare constrained to agree with those Representatives and Senators in the Legis latare who insist on appropriating the vast surplus in the State Treasury for needed public improvements. The machine maoa gers are strongly averse to this course. They insist that the appropriations should be kept within the revenues and the sar plus allowed to remain intact. That bas been the policy of the State for as much as fitteen years and daring the administration of WILLIAM A. STONE even the school ap- propriation was cat to maintaiz it. Gov- ernor STONE and Governor PENNYPACKER also cunt items in the general appropriation bill in violation of the constitution in or- der to preserve the treasury surplus. Of course there was but one purpose to subserve by shis course which was the “farming” of the fands for the benefit of machine politicians. The law requires an interest payments oo State moneys on de- posit of two percent. Bas there bas been no sronble, during the lass dozen years or more in placing it at four per cent., the extra two per cent. on an average balance of over $12.000,000,being a matter of $240.- 000 a year to divide among the machine managers or apply to the campaign fond. Of course some of the favored banks were not charged the two per cent. but recom- peosed the machine by making loans to members as in the case of the transactions between the Enterprise National bank of Allegheny city and “Bull”’ ANDREWS. In taking this position on this question we wonld not be interpreted as favoring profligate appropriations as a rule. On the contrary we believe in the former practice of the Legislature of limiting the appropri- ations to the actual needs of the public service. Bus there are many public im- provements, such as building highways, enlarging she capitol park, pensioniog veterans of the Civil war and other things to which the present surplus might be ap- plied to the advantage of the pablic and when it is exhausted the taxes ought to be reduced, or refanded to the connties, to an extent which would prevent the fatare ac- cumulation of such a surplus. The usiog of the surplas is right from every point of view. Ben. ——Republican state chairman Wesley R.
