After saying that the cotton manufac- |

criminated against in the UNDERWOOD bill, |
he added, significantly, that “the cotton |

if the Progressives should make the
nomination of a fuil ticket composed of
adherents of their party an essentiai con
dition to fusion, there could be no fusion.
It is all right and proper to insist that all
the nominees should “stand for a greater
Philadelphia, honestly administered.” But
there are Democrats fit and capable in
other respects who are quite as certain
in that respect as any Progressives or
Keystoners that could be chosen. There-
fore in arranging a fusion ticket all the
elements should be recognized.
There is a vast difference between
fusion and the merging of forces. Our
contemporary would merge the opposi-
tion to the machine without the most
necessary element of Success, enthusi-
asm, behind it. The Democrats of Phiia-
delphia favor fusion in which all elements
are fairly represented and each unit is
encouraged by the hope of gaining
through success. Even reformers are
not all altruists and a fusion ticket which
simply represented an absorption of one
or more of the party organizations in
order to guarantee offices for another
would meet with indifferent support. The

The Price ot Privilege.
United States Senator JOHN SHARP
WiLLIAMS, of Mississippi, is not always
cautious in speech but he is invariably
keen of intellect and candid. In his state-
ment the other day, therefore, that the
lobby in Washington is striving to foment
war with Mexico, he may have been
drawing upon conjecture rather than
knowledge. But it is safe to say that he
was guessing close to the facts. Every
close observer of events in Washington
since this Mexican problem has become
acute must have noticed a trend inthe
| direction of violence in certain quarters.
| Certain elements in the official life of
| the capital plainly want war with some-
| body for selfish reasons.
“War is hell,” as General SHERMAN
| once declared, but it makes wealth for
| many men. It creates a demand for
| arms, ammunition, warships and other
| implements of destruction and it dulls
| the public conscience as it sharpens the
' wits of those concerned. A scrimmage
| with Mexico would be a windfall to
| thousands who are concerned in the
| manufacture of such commodities. It
| would bring poverty and sorrow
| more thousands but that makes no dif-
| money. The distress of others has fo
| terrors for them. “Every fellow for him.
i self and the devil take the hindmost,”
| expresses the philosophy of their lives
| and practices.
We can imagine nothing more despica
ble than this conspiracy to create a war,
| yet it has been going on in Washington
for many years. The war with Spain
| was brought on in this way and an effort
| to provoke war with Japan has been in
| progress for several years, A war with
- Mexico would be a comparatively trifling
| affair but it would result in a conquest
' that would involve perennial disturbance
and constant preparation for war. These
‘ wouid bring vast wealth to the few and
great suffering to millions. But it is the
| price civilization pays for maintaining
favored classes at the expense of the
‘many. Itis the penalty this country pays
for legislative privileges.

modern political reformers caused sus. |
picion. But his reputation for personal |
integrity seemed so well established as
to create hope that he was different from
the average of his kind. After his elec
tion, moreover, he revealed such a spirit
of independence as to strengthen public
faith in him. But the truth as it stands
exposed in the light of the evidence has
destroyed this fabric of confidence as it
has annihilated this public servant.
Whether he be impeached or not he is
done for. He might as well resign and
take himself into obscurity.
Governor SULZER was a TAMMANY man
50 long as he needed TAMMANY influence
and support to keep him in office just as
most of the so-called political reformers
in Pennsylvania were organization men
so long as the organization “helped them.
When SuLzer imagined he was strong |
enough to stand alone, he rather os-!
tentatiously repudiated TAMMANY just
as the Pennsylvania reformers repudiated
the organization which had previously
helped them. In neither case was the
reform genuine or sincere. in both cases
it was selfish, sordid, dishonest. Thus
far the Pennsylvania reformers haven't |
betrayed themselves, but they will. The
inordinate lust for power will assert itself
sooner or later, with that inevitable re-

If You Want to Vote.
From the Johnstown Democrat.
Have Jou paid your taxes? sa Jou
T ave your party ations
been enrolled? If a man wants to vote in
this State the thing for him to do is to
take a week off, hire a lawyer and then
under expert advice go through the vari-
ous prescribed motions. There is no
place on top of the earth where the free-
man is afflicted with mere annoy-
ances than right here in Pennsylvania.
The poll tax is an abomination. Its his.
tory is a history of political corruption.
It is scarcely known outside of Pennsyl
vania. There is no more justice in com-
pelling a man to pay a poll tax than there
in compelling him to pay a cow tax or
a horse tax. The whole theory of tax-
ation in Pennsylvania is based the
idea tha the tenant and the boarder pay
no taxes. Our law makers have taken
the stand that a poll tax is the “only way
some men.” Every man who
lives, works and pays his way pays taxes.
The worker in this country has been
taxed in a thousand ways. He has paid
taxes whenever he bought anything in
our protected market. He has paid taxes
when he paid his room rent. In the mid-
dle west a poll tax would cause a revolu-
tion. In Pennsylvania a poll tax is con-
sidered the height of economic and polit-
ical wisdom. a matter of fact, as far
as the t is concerned, the poll tax has
. simply been the corner stone upon which
the crooked politician builded his for-
tunes. A poll tax as prescribed by law
is a thing calculated to make every man
of average intelligence want to fight.
