WASHINGTON LETTEB.
From our Regular correspondent.
Washinnton, May 20. 1889
Corporal Tanner Is getting along
Bwimmmgiy in nis avowcu purposo ot
turning tlio Treasury surplus into tho
pockets of tho ex-soldlcra of tho coun.
try. So well is ho progressing that
tho pension appropriation for fiscal
year ending Juno 30, is already ex
hausted, notwithstanding its immonso
amount S81,7r0,)00. Tho navmonta
mado by the Treasury department for
pensions lor ono week ending last Sat
urday, amounted to tho enormous sum
of $11,380,000. Whero this thing will
end no man cau say, but unless I am
very much m'etaUon this pension ques
tion will raiso a big rumpus in this
country boforo lone s it may bo started
in tho House at tho next session of
Congress, or it may bo postponed for a
while longer, but it's got to come
eventually. Tho tax payors aro bound
to draw tho lino aomowhoto.
Senator Harris, of Tennessee, does
not think Mr. Harrison overburdened
with consideration for "Senatorial
Courtesy." Ho camo hero last week
for tho special purposo of protesting
against tho appointment of L. Q. Hine,
i Democrat of this city as ono of the
Commissioners of tho District of Col-
umbia, and tho day after his arrival
Mr. Harrison appointed Mr. Hino in
tho fooo of tho Senator's protest. So
it can bo set down for a certainty that
thero is at least ono Democratio Sena
tor ready to join tho "combino" of
ltcpublican nenators it they should
concludo to tnako war on Mr. Harrison
as many people think they aro certain
to do next winter.
Tho colored brother is feeling vory
much cheered. Mr. Harrison has ap
pointed another ono of them to a good
position. Tho lucky "brothor" is ox
congressman Lynch, of Mississippi,
who is to succeod that genial Alabara
ian, General Shelly, as Fifth Auditor
of tho Treasury. I should like to hear
Shelly describo his fcelintrs on turning
ma oiiicq over to a coiorea man. mere
were several Alabama Republicans
white men after this appointment.
John Janett, tho labor agitator, has
got his reward for selling out tho
working men during tho last Campaign.
Ho has been appointed U. S. Consul to
Birmingham, England.
Jimmy Blaine has captured ono of
tho bt-st paying berths under tho Gov
ernment for his private secretary, Thos.
II. Sherman. It is the TJ. S. Consul
ship at Liverpool. It is said to be
worth Si 5,000 a year.
Tho Ohio men who have not gone
homo in disgust are beginning to talk
out loud about tho administration, and
their language IB such that Mr. Harri
son would hardly enjoy it should ho
happen within hearing.
Ex-Secretary Bayard, whom rumor
has married so many times during tho
last two or three years is at last really
going to have tho ceremony performed
by an orthodox minister. The fortun
ate lady is Miss May Climer, daughter
of a naval officer, residing in this city.
Tho engagement has been formally
announced, but not the date of tho
marriage, but tho friends of tho lady
say it will take placo very soon.
Tho administration has taken action
in tho matter of the alleged frauds by
tho U. S. Marshals and their deputies
in Oklahoma. Thoro wnro two mar
shals there, ono a Demooratio hold-over
and the other a nowly appointed Re
publican. Tho Democrat has been re
moved and tho Republican exonerated.
How's that for partisanship t
Justice Miller, of tho U. S. Supreme
Court is going to retire this winter if
ho can persuade Mr. Harrison to ap
point as his successor his friend Geo.
V. McCIeary, of Iowa.
The clerks in tho offico of tho First
Assistant Post-master General havo
been required since the 4th of March
to work threo hours oxtra every day
in order to hurry up tho changes in the
fourth class postoflicos. They havo
made suoh progress that an order was
issued Saturday lessening the over
time to ono hour daily.
Tho preachers of Cincinnati don't
seem to havo much iniltionce with Mr.
Harrison. They sent a delegation
here to oppose the appointment of ' ex
Mayor Amor Smith of that city, as
surveyor of tho port, on tho ground
that while mayor ho had been con
trolled by the saloon keepers and the
law-breaking element of the commu
nity. Friday Mr. Harrison appointed
Smith.
Mr. Harrison deserves thanks of all
decent people for refusing to appoint
Y. E. Haskell, editor of tho Minnca-
fiolis tribune, Minister to Denmark.
Iaskell is tho only man over known to
havo said a word derogatory of Mrs.
Cleveland. Ho printod in his paper
an editorial that earned him tho con
tempt of everybody that knew him.
O. E. Carr, of Illinois got the appoint
ment Haskell asked for.
Sam Small is coming here to preach
temperanoo for two weeks.
Memorial Day.
Tho following circular was sent out
from tho head department of tho G. A.
R. ot Pennsylvania, and embraces
general orders, No. 9, under dato of
May 7th, and promulgated by depart
ment commander, Thomas J. Stewart.
Comrades. Vo aro meeting anoth

tlio iinwun nf Mnv wero last strewn

that the brave men who sleep beneath

Upon tho grand Army of the Repub

Oast None Eat honest Votes-
If any person or persous or any asso
ciation, political or otherwise, havo an
idea that it would be either safo or
profitable to attompt to bay votes at
the election on June la, or it any
voters contcmplato selling their votes
at that time, they should hrst read tho
following law passed by the late Legis
ture iust before ita aiournmcnt and in
tended to prevent bribery on that oc
casion,
The act wbioh was approved May 9,
reads as folllows:
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House, of Representatives of tho Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania in General
Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted
by the authority of the same, that any
person who shall give or promise or
offer to give to any elector any money
reward or other valuable consideration
for his vote at any election held for the
purpose of voting on an amendment to
tho Constitution, or any other publio
purpose, or for withholding the same,
or who shall give or promiso to give
such consideration to any other person
or party for such elector s vote, or fot
tho withholding thereof, and any elec
tor who shall receive or agree to re
ceive for himself or for another any
money rewatu or other valuable con
sideration for his vote at suoh oleotion,
or for witholdincr the same, shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor and upon
conviction thereof shall pay a fino not
exceeding $1,000 and undergo im
prisonment not exceeding one year.
This will bo the hrst election held
for the purposo of voting on a Consti
tutional amendment since tho adoption
of tho now Constitution. It was
thought by somo that the aot punishing
bribery at the election ot stato legisla
tive and minor officials would not ap
ply to tho same crime at an election at
which no omcials were to bo voted tor.
Hence the passage of this act.
There are two amendments to be
voted for ono prohibiting the manu
facture and sale ot alcobolio beverages
and tho other abolishing tho poll-tax.
Tho citizen who votes or withholds h's
vote upon cither amendment for a
money or other valuable consideration,
renders himself liable to a fine of $1,000
and one year's imprisonment, a pretty
hie price to pay for the Mnall price he
is likely to got for his vote. Times.

A Little Bar.
President Haiiiiison and Sccrotary
Winiiom both found it necessary to
put up a small bar agalust tho crowd
of office-seekers. Thoy reserve one
day to themselves on which uo visi

dent will limit Fomowhat his hours of
receiving on other days.
The purposo of this restriction upon
tho "vory hungry and very thirsty"
ofllco-sookera would bo highly com
mendable, slight as it is, if it wero
adopted for the purpose of securing
timo for "statesmanship" to which
Bishop Potter very truly said tho
President had not dovotod one hour
since his inauguration. But tho re

simply taken as a necessity, to obtain

Smallpox at Nantloose-
EFFORTS MADE TO COPE WITH THE DI
SEASE. SCHOOL DIRECTORS TAKE
ACTION.
Wh-kes-Bariie, May 21. Tho
impression that has reignod for
tho past few weeks that tho smallpox
was about stamped out in Nanticoke
seems to have been groundless. With
in the past few days fivo now cases
havo been reported and yesterday Rov.
E. II. Hughes nnd threo of his children
were taken with tho difotse. and taken
to the pesthouse. Ono of the children,
Eueuris, aged 14 years, died last night.
There aro now seven patients in the
pesthouso and fully as many more out
side. The Sanitary Committco are doing
all thpy can, but tho efforts to break
up the disease are terribly handicapped
by tho continued deadlock in tho
Borough Council. The eight mombcrs
are evenly divided on tho election of a
secretary and neithor side will give way.
inus, while tlio sanitary Uommittco
can enforce all tho standing sanitary
provisions of tho borough laws, no new
ones peculiarly adopted to tho present
situation can be enacted. The matter
is uow beforo the courts. It is be
lieved, however, that the vigorous ef
forts of tho Sanitary Comraittto will
keep the cpedemia from assuming any
disastrous dimensions.
The sohool directors of tho Second
School District of this city met to day
in special session to o neider measures
to prevent the possible spread of the
smallpox among the sohool children.
Although there have been as vet only
two cases in this district, the circum
stances attending them lead to tho be
lief that many others will arise.
J ho board therefore resolved that
no children should be admitted to the
schools that have not been vaccinated
within the past six months and this
rulo will go into foroe on Monday noxt.
This measure is deemed sufficient in
tho present condition of afliairs.
The Tariff and Wages.
If Mr, Cleveland has been seated in
the Presidency to which tho people of
this country elected him in November
as: and had one-tonth of. tho failures.
shutdowns and business reverses that
havo sinoe oocurred taken plauo, it is
safe to say tliet tho heavens would
hove been rent with the noiso of "Free
Trado" ''enemies of tho country's in
dustries," "allies of England," etc., etc,
from tho throats of 10,000 tariff howl
ers of all sorts. Androw Carnogio
could thon have cut tho wages o:f some
of his employees CO per oent. as ho baa
since proposed to uo ami could havo
eh irgd it to the Freo Tradors. The
Reading Iron Works could havo shut
down a month earlier, all because of
the wicked Democrats. Every em
ployer who wanted to grind his men
to the earth would havo had an ex
cuse (although a lie) ready at hand.
But now that tho samo thing exactly
has happened despite the Good Work
and Wages victory thero is some little
difficulty in explaining the situation.
Still the New York "Tribune" comes
up smiling and trios it. On Saturday
last t contained the following:
A good many iron work? aro at tho
verge of suspension. New establish
ments, in a region where labor is
cheap, and now competition at a timo
of diminished demand for rails nnd
goino otbor iron products, have cut
down profits, or out them off entirely.
In works so situited the only possible
question is whether lower wages shall
be paid or no wages. That this is the
naked fact, without varnishing or ex
aggeration, tho "Tribune" knows with
certainty, ond bo dojmany iron manu
faoturcrs aud worker. Nobody has
pretended that tho proteotivo system
or any other can at nil times secure
prosperity to all industries, or to every
establishment of any Industry, whether
favorably or unfavorably lonatod.
Whow! Tho Atioiont and Uonorablo
Oraclo of I'roteol on savs that "No
body hai pretended that tho protection
system cau at all times Bocuro onual
prosperity to all industries whother
favorably or unfavorably looatod."
This dosn't agree at nil with tho logio
that "Protection" has belli using
over sinco tho war. When reptoaohed
with tho ns9ertion that the w.ir system,
as President Arthur (Republican) said,
was unjust in that it made an unequal
distribution of its burdens. ard its bene
fits, or in other wordn, it paid some
nno roiioeu all tho rest of our pcoplo,
tho Thkvos Tariff organs have been
prompt to say that all indu tries and
all poople reaped somo of tlio advanta
ges duo to high taxation and a dimln
ishod purchasing power for wacres.
Just ho w this could bo thoy h ive never
yet succeeded in making oleaif but
they li'ivo ociitinucd to say it just tho
same,- a littlo trifle liko tho want t f
logic or common h nso in tho Thieves
Tnriff argument doesn't seem to dis
turb its advocates in the least. For
tho "Tribune'' to ndmit tho truth at
last, however, is virv uncouraniui'.
What does the "Tribune" mean in
talking about industries "favorably or
unfavorably located!" Does't tho
Oiaoloknow that it is this samo war
tariff which by tho stimulus of its tern
porary and unnatural profits caused the
esiaoiisnmcnt ot tneso very "nnlavora
bly located'' industries? And dostn't
tho "Tribuuo" that after having oalltd
them into existence tho thrift is utterly
unable to maintain therat Does it not
also know that many industries not so
"favorably located'' could still get
along if tho Thieves Tariff were re
moved from their coal, ore, wool and
other materials?
Tho assertion that wages aro lower
in tho West, whero the greatest compe
tition exists, is simply and plainly false.
Wages nre yory muoh higher, both for
skilled and unskilled labor, as tho
"Tribuno ought to know whon it tries
to talk about tho tariff. Evening
Herald.
Carnegie's Employes. '
Tho employes of Mr. Cainegio'B
Homestead steel works have been noti
fied that after July 1st their wages will
bo reduced '20 per cent. The an
nouncement was a surpriso to tho
workingmen, for the faot is, it was their
intention to ask for an incrcaso of pay
before Mr. Carnegie sails for a tour of
Europe and the fcr East. .
Previous to the November oliction
Mr. Carnegie and tho other high tariff
beneficiaries sounded tho praises nf tho
monopolistic system in the ears of tho
workingmen, nnd in faot substantially
told them that the defeat of Giover
Cleveland was cscnliol for their pros
perity. It was natural, then, for the em
ployes to expect better pay, to enter
tain the belief that at least there would
be no reduction of wages so long as
the tariff was undisturbed iu its royal
highness.
It certainly must be a surpriso to the
workingmen who cast their ballots
against tariff reform to see that the
system which Carnegie and his kind
endorse, is having tho very otteot on
tho industries oi the country, which
the protectionists claimed during the
campaign the "horrid tree traders de
sired to produoo by the "overthrow of
protection." Patriot.

Wanamaker's Profit (Sharing.
Mr. John Wanamaker on Friday
evening last week distributed to 378
fiersons who bad been employed at his
ai go store seven ears and upwards
part of the profits of tho last year.
What had already been paid " out
monthly to salespeople over and above
regular salaries, with the bum given
on Friday night, aggregates for tho
year $104,345.08. Tho amount dis
tributed to employes in this way In the
previous year was $109,439.08,
In tho course of a speech of consid
erable length Mr. Wanamaker said :
"Wo have paid the usual salaries,
and exactly S218,785.30 more by this
free, will distribution. Not one per
son, to the best of my knowledge and
belief would have bad any larger sal
aries had this plan of distribution not
been in force. So that it is out of our
pockets into yours, aud without any
obligation on our part except good
will and interost in the welfare of our
good people. Under a system of
monthly examinations of individual
records all our clerks havo had proper
consideration acoording to merit, and

terest on the principal of these distri
butions. Tho checks given out tonight might
all have been larger, and it is a disap
poiutment to mo that they are not.
You have it in your power, by your
enthusiastic and tamest efforts to in
crease or diminish what tho firm has
set aside for this distribution.
It is entirely out of placo for any of
you to say, I would rather have thy
salary increased instead of this check.
I am suro your salary is all that your
record shows you to be entitled to, and
your obeck is all clear gain to you.
When you aro entitled to more salary
you wilt get it, whether wo mako a
distribution or not. None is a-ked or
expected to stay who is not fully paid.
It is stupid of any one to do that, and
we do uot want stupid people.
1 regret to admit that I do not seo
muoh that has been gained by tho ex
periment wo havo made, except the
satisfaction of making tho effort and
tho pleasure thero isiu giving to you a

"Thero is a groat deal of foolish
talk about relations of capital and la

become oapilal. Yoa are entitled to
all that such capital produces so long
as yon pay current and proper wages
to those who work for you, When
you havo dono that no man has any
right to ask or expect you to let him
have a part of your profits any more
