The New York limes says "the
income tax U a transitory Populist
fancy that will not continue in force
three years." If the Republican party
comes into power we must agree with
with the limes. But if asked why
the .Republican party was so tremen
dously defeated when in full sympathy
with no income tax and no tariff re
form, we should be obliged to answer
Cleveland promised, both to the tired
sovereign power, and that's why he
won.
SERV10E PENSION.
Senator Turpie recently introduced
a service-pension bill which provides,
in addition to a1! invalid pensions
which have been or may be granted,
for all men who served in the army or
navy during the war, a service pen
sion at the rate of one cent for each
day's service rendered ; provided that
every such pensioner who is rated at
less than $3 per month shall be in
creased to $8 upon his reaching the
age of 60 years, and $12 per month if
unable to perform manual labor. Had
the Republican party passed some such
bill as this at the close of the war they
would not only have saved millions of
dollars that have been paid out to
claim agents, and doctors and others
than the soldiers proper, but they
would have placed every soldier under
special obligations to them. In their
great anxiety however to place all man
kind under obligations to them, they
have lost forever just about one half
the soldier vote. Talk as they like
aDout democratic treatment ot pen
sioners, it takes at least two political
parties to meet out exact justice to
inose wno tooK a nana in saving this
country during the war and since the
war. Lven in the hour of peace there
is more or less war over the inequities
and iniquities engendered by political
strife and man's natural greed. And
we hold that the party that is freest
from inequity and inequity is the one
most worthy of survival, and its most
apt to succeed in God's providence,
even in spite of politicians. If this
stand is not partisan we still maintain
it is patriotic to advocate with Darwin
the survival of the fittest. As for a
service-pension, no one but a soldier
can get it, and he alone deserves it,
in our opinion.
BUSINESS.
It is just as well, perhaps, that
farmer?, whether rich or poor, mani
fest no disposition to corner their
products against the consumer. It is
just as well, no doubt, that they have
no disposition to cease work for com
mercial or political ctfect, ns other
industries do so frequently. It is for
the best, likely, that farmers are not
combined a3 a class like corporations
and labor unions for self-defense in
the Lreneral
push
and scramble for
PRESIDENTIAL PROPHESY.
In casting about for Presidential
timber it ij a little strange that Rep
ublicans should first hit upon the ob
jecting and objectionable material
that was once condemned, or rather
rejected, by the American people after
trial, in the person of ex President
Harrison. His refusal to accept the
proposition thus early is quite as ra
tional as were the modest remarks of
the aesthetic Chauncey Depew, who
allowed that the candidate who now
accepts will want breath before the
nominating convention assembles.
There is nothing like reserving one's
best wind for the homestretch in the
mad Presidential race. If Chauncey
Depew, a Republican, and Senator
Hill a Democrat, should conspire and
combine to win the coveted President
ial prize, there is no doubt they could
influence more wealth than any two
men in America If like Greeley, Hill
should step over to the enemy for the
sake of preferment (and he would net
have far to step) the Republican party
would have in this pair of twin pluto
cratic representatives a strong ticket,
the like of which could not be found
Trom Maine to California, so fai as
money and its influence goes. But, in
the language of Shakespeare, " there
is a destiny that shapes our ends,
rough hew it how we may,'' and we
are a little apprehensive that neither
Hill nor Depew will make it, what
ever may fall to the lot of Harrison.
It is now thought the tariff bill will
reach final passage by June 10, So
it ought.
money making that particularly char
acterizes corporate wealth. And jet
the writer has often wondered at it
Wondered that some determined
effort has not been made to have as
faithful representation in our halls of
legislation as our protected manu
facturing industries have right alpng
and very carefully guarded. We have
often wondered that, for the sake of
home and fireside (long since mort
gaged beyond redemption in many
cases) something has not been done
by the farmers except to toil and
sweat and be forever hoodwinked by
middle men and deceitful politicians,
If the farmer presumes to go to town
anil sell ins own products he is very
apt to be obliged to pay toll at some
gate in trie hands of a corporation
mat is granted the exclusive pnvt
lege to take a little care of the hiiih
way and tax everybody toll that travels
it. lie next hnds that Inch protect
ion in the interest of a few smart men
owning a market house in town stares
him in the fate, requiring him to take
out u high license or quit selling, ex
cept to them, and at their rates. In
stead ot permitting middle men to
dictate to the farmer, w e should like
to see lum able himself to reap what
profit can be properly gained on his
products, and when a huckster, for
instance, says I will pay but 12 cts,
a dozen for egs next week, and 20
cts. for vour butter, I hope the Lord
will in someway yet enable the farmer
to tell that huckster he need not call
for his products at any such rates, as
they will never enable him to pay
current taxes, much less raise a moit
gage one half the value of the farm
and which is quite likelv to foreclose
upon him at any time. We know the
farmer is not entirely free from blame
for hu present utter helplessness.
He should realize that he is in the
care of those who live by their wits,
as they call it.
COMMERCIAL.
Dun's Commercial Agency gives
nopeiui signs ot business improvement,
notwiinstanrimg the deplorable condi
tion which we believe to be attributable
to over production, individual and na
tional indebtedness, and the prolonged
strikes of capitol and labor. The sel
fish motive that impels capital to strike
by closing their works in order to in
timidate tariff reformers, or to forestall
anticipated legislation, is the same sel
fish motive that actuates labor to strike
themselves out of employment in dull
times in the hope either of bettering
prtsent conditions or avoiding threat
ened reductions. In some cases higher
rates are sought and strikes ensue in
consequence. In other cases strikes
have resulted from deliberate provo
cation on the part of capital. Capital
knows lull well when to Drovoke a
strike among its employees, as also
when to court peace lor sake of higher
dividends. If business prosperity is de
pendent upon favorable legislation,
then not only maiuifacturersshould re
ceive favorable consideration, but the
farmer should also be given an occas
ional boost at the hands ot our law
makers who seem to be dead in love
with our manufacturers some how.
AN EDITOR TOR OFFICE.
Once in awhile a nomination for
offiice falls to the lot of the editor.
but twice in awhile they go some
other way. One of the exceptional
cases to which we refer is the pro
position now on paper to nominate
the editor of the ishickshinny Devi
oerat for clerk of the courts of
Luzerne County. Being a voter within
his dintrict we should be pleased to go
home and cast our vote in that direc
tion, in case the newspaper fraternity
is thus recognized for representation
through Deerner Beidleman, the editor
referred to. We believe in the first
place that the fraternity deserves rec
ognition for the fun it has in advocat
ing the cause of others, and in the
second place that Mr. Beidleman will
fill the position satisfactorily if elected
HUNGRY HUNGARIANS.
Hungarians (imported under the
free trade privileges granted out cor
porate powers when they want to keep
the American laborer where lie be
longs) are now leaving our shores for
their native homes because of the
closing of furnaces, &c. This we re
gard as an alarming condition of
things, and capital ought to see to the
stopping ot the out now ot Hun
garians ; for when work resumes it
may have a deleterious influence on

The Governor of Michigan has
appointed John D. Patten to succeed
Senator Stockbridge. As usual, Mr.
Patten is a lawyer. We are getting
quite a few of them in Congress
through death and otherwise.
