TE —— ~The audit of the campaign expens- es of Josern C. SIBLEY as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Congress in the Twenty-eighth district of this State has been dropped at the instance of the petitioners. “If ‘twere so soon to be done for what was it begun for,” the public may well ask. It probably pre- vented Mr. SIBLEY'S re-election but so far as we are able to discover it hasn't changed the morals of Congress. Give Us Free Wool at Any Rate. We have little, if any, sympathy with those Democrats in the House of Repre- sentatives in Washington, who insist on a tariff on wool because the government needs the revenue. Of course if the profligacy of the past is continued, the government will not only need the revenue obtained through the tariff tax on wool, but on everything else now taxed exces- sively. But the profligacy of the past should not be continued in the future. The Democratic majority in the House has reduced the expenses of that body about one-fifth of a million dollars. By exercising the same powers in relation to all the other departments reductions may easily be made which will equal the reve. nue on wool. In any event, however, there ought to be no tariff tax on wool. It is a source of evil which costs the people of the coun- try annually many times the revenue it produces. Half the tuberculosis which afflicts the people is traceable directly or indirectly to the tariff tax on wool. Be- cause of it the poor children of the coun- try are compelled to suffer through the inclement seasons without clothing ade- quate to protect them from the severe climate and the white plague is the nat- ural and logical result. Shoddy jmade of rotten rags is not fit clothing for children but because of the excessive tariff taxes on wool the sons and daughters of the average citizen have no other raiment. We have no desire to cripple the ad- ministration by cutting down the revenues below the line of reasonable requirements. But ten times the amount of the reve- nues on wool might be cut off the ex- penditures without in the least measure impairing the efficiency of the service. It is therefore the duty of the Democratic majority in Congress to cut out all tariff tax on wool in the beginning and after that to so adjust the expenses of the gov- ernment that no loss in the revenues will be felt on account of it. There can be no playing of favorites in legislation here- after. The people of the country demand equal and exact justice from the Demo- crats in Congress and will accept no less. majority of the last session he was only saved by a narrow margin. With the meagre majority of the present session, the vote is certain to be against him and for that reason we shall not be surprised to hear of his resignation at any time. The more drastic treatment would more nearly fulfill the ends of justice, how- —]f it be true, as stated, that the deficit in the Postal Department has been wiped out and that the annual report for the fiscal year ending on the last day of this month will show a surplus, persons in the habit of reasoning will wonder how the Postmaster General reached the con- clusion, six months ago, that the second class postal rates were mainly responsi- ble for the deficit. There has been no change in the rates for that service and the economies which have converted a deficit of $17,500,000 into a surplus must have been made in some other way. Governor Tener’s Opportunity. An intimate friend of Governor TENER is quoted as saying, recently, that at the close of his administration the criticism which former Governor PENNYPACKER made of the administration of Governor STUART, would not be possible. It will be remembered that about the close of STUART'S administration PENNYPACKER said he had achieved nothing. No con- structive legislation was enacted during the STUART term, his predecessor alleged, and no work of any kind for the better- ment of the people was accomplished. ‘The Public Utilities bill was to have been Governor TENER's avenue of escape from such a charge. It was not only a new departure in Pennsylvania, but one worth whil e. The Utilities bill failed, however, and the Governor will be obliged to look in another direction for something to dif- ferentiate his administration from that of STUART in the matter of achievement. But he does not have to look far or long. He has the greatest of all opportunities at his finger tips this blessed moment. It is not in the line of road building for he is not responsible for the road bill. He had as little to do with the school code and the mining law. But he can correct for all time an evil of the greatest pro- portions and remove forever a menace of the gravest sort. If he has the courage to act he may make himself a Governor followed the bad example and STUART lacked the stamina to obey his oath of office by getting back to the requirements of the constitution. It is now up to Gov- ernor TENER. He can veto items of an appropriation bill but he can't alter a measure in any other respect. If he will perform this service to the State in hand- ling the appropriation bills now before him posterity will have abundant reason to stand up and call him blessed. It will be a greater service than any single piece of legislation. as “Portrait Painter to the Republican —During the consideration of the Resident Hunters’ license bill in the Sen- ate, at Harrisburg, one of the lobbyists representing the Pittsburg millionaires who were back of the measure, openly and on the floor of the chamber, threat- ened that the Pittsburgers would prevent the re-election of any Senators who voted against their pet measure. The member of the Game Commission who was re- sponsible for the lobby, in the event that he is reappointed, will come before the Sen. ate for confirmation upon the reassem- bling of that body, and the outraged Sen- ators will thus have a splendid oppor- tunity to set a wholesome example. ~The Philadelphia artist who receiv- ed $850 for painting a portrait of Justice DAY, of the United States Supreme court, for the adornment of the Department of State in Washington, pretended to be surprised when he learned that the State Department had paid $2450 for the pic- ture.
