Already it is urged, as might have
been anticipated, that to dock the
proud statesman who deliberately ab
sents himself when his vote u needed,
will place the Sergeant at-Arm3 in an
embarrassing position.
This official wants never to oiTend
but always to oblige the recalcitrant
statesmen upon whom he relics for his
own position.
He can't afford to quarrel with
them about their dockage, and there
fore don't want to be used as the lev
erage by which truant statesmen are
brought to school and kept there in
order that the wheels of legislation
may continue to grind out needed
laws.
ADVANCEMENT OF DEMOUKACT.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND WRITES A
LETTER TO CHAUNCEY F.
BUCK
Washington, April 22. President
Cleveland has forwarded the following
letter to Chauncey F. Black, president
of the National Association of Demo
cratic Clubs, dated " Executive Man
sion, Washington, April 18, 1894 :
" My Dear Sir : I have carefully
read the communication you lately
placed ir my hands, setting forth the
future purposes and present needs of
the National Association of Demo
cratic Clubs.
"The achievements of the organiza
tion should be familiar to all who are
interested in the continuation of Dem
ocratic supremacy and should enlist
the encouragement of those who ap
preciate the importance of an effective
dissemination of Democratic doctrine.
" Your association has done much
by way of educating our people touch
ing the particular subjects which are
recognized as belonging to the Demo
cratic faith ; but it seems to me that
its best service has been an enforce
ment and demonstration of the truth
that our party is best organized and
most powerful when it strives for prin
ciples instead of spoils, and that it
quickly responds to the stimulus sup
plied by an enlistment in the people's
cause.
"This acknowledgment of the im
portant services rendered to the ad
vancement of true Democracy suggests
that the National Association of Demo
cratic Clubs and every other Demo
cratic agency should labor unceasingly
and earnestly to save our party, in this
time of its power and responsibility,
from the degredation and disgrace ol
a failure to redeem the pledges upon
which our fellow country-men entrust
ed us with the control of their govern
ment. " All who are charged, on behalf of
the Democratic party, with the redemp
tion of these pledges should now be
impressively reminded that, as we won
our way to victoiy under the banner
of tariff reform, so our insistance upon
that principle is the condition of our
return of the people's trust ; and that
fealty to party organization demands
the subordination of individual advan
tages and wishes, and the putting aside
of petty and ignoble jealousies and
bickerings, when party principles and
party integrity and party existence are
at stake.
"I cheerfully enclose a contribution
to the funds necessary to carry on the
good work of your organization, with
a hearty wish for its continued success
and usefulness.
Yours, very truly.
"Crover Cleveland."
There are Sarsaparillas and Sarsapa
rillas j but if you are not careful in

centrated alteratives.
coxe roa governor.
The Democratic State Convention
will nu-et in Jure. A re 1 ,t dispatch
frMii Washington to the ildrrhburij
I'ulrid savs : "It is stated here that
tiie n line of Eckloy B. Cox-, tne coal
magnate and millionaire, will be ire
senUd as a canid.ito for governor to
the rennsyhania Democratic state
Lonvenium."
Now we regard Mr. Coxe as a very
likely man. He is popular with the
laboring classes, because he has shown
himself in full sympathy with them.
A rich man can do much worse with
his money than to give his employes
an occasional Christmas turkey and
be among the last rather than the first
to reduce their pay. Considering the
conditions likely to confront the candi
dates next fall, with the laboring
classes more or less disheartened and
distrustfu , the most likely men to
win at the polls are those (without re
gard to party affiliations) who have
in their business relations thovn them
selves capable of sympathy in the
hour of business depression. We be
licve Mi. Coxe to stand out the more
conspicuous as a genuine friend of the
laboring classes because of his being
very lonely in this respect. We are
among those who believe that labor
will do well to mark those who for
political effect have deliberately
closed ir business plants from
Maine to California. Those, . we
mean, who regard rot the sufferings
of the ;:oor when the extraordinary
dividends of the rich are in jeopardy.
Those we mean, who hold that high
tariff and high wagc3 are synonymous,
when they know i:i their deceptive
hearts that high dividends are the
synonyms they are after while wages
depend entirely upon the supply and
demand which they themselves can
frequently make or break through
foreign importation of the raw mater
ial upon which there is no protective
duty. Until we have high protection
upon the importation of foreign labor
(which never will happen) such men
as Ecklc-y B. Coxe wil be appreciated
by "wage-earners" proper. Don't let
it escape you between thi3 and next
fall.

rotative system, (which is based upon
the rule of the majority) as is an elec
tive official who would presume to
hold and retain an office in the face of
a majority of votes against him. Our
Civil Service Reform is a convenience
for our Senators and Representatives
who want all the emoluments of pub
lic office and none of the trouble and
responsibility that they can by any
means evade. The civil service is a
means of evading constituents in
search of office ; that's" about the sum
of it.
McLaurin's First Bpeech in the Senate
a Good One.
Discussing the all-absorbing tariff
and income-tax question, which con
tinued by mutual consent till Tuesday
at five o' clock, Senator McLaurin
made his first speech in the Senate
chamber on the iythinstant. He gave
the tariff bill his unhesitating support,
saying it commended itsell especially
to him because it was a step in the
right direction j that an income tax is
a step in the direction of apportioning
the expense of the Government in
proportion to wealth. lie said, further
more, that it represented the doctrine
of revenue as against the doctrine
of extortion. He denied the assertion
that an income-tax was undemocratic.
He held that Democracy meant that
the people should rule. And as sure
as the people ruled an income tax
would be levied. We wish the honor
able Senator could also have said that,
when levied, the income tax would be
collected. The Senator's reliance was
upon the voice of the people whom
he said would be heard from the polls.
For really nice neckwear you must
go to Townsend, the gent's furnisher.
Ex Congressman Robert Klotz, of
Mauch Chunk, has decided to be a
candidate for the Democratic nomin
ation fur Congress in Mr. Mmchlcr's
district. His consent has been given
on tli; petition f several hundied
leading Demuciats of the county.
