Senator Hill, of New York, is most conspicuous for his loneliness as a Demociatic bolter this session of Con gress. It is possible !hat all the rest arc wrong and he is right s but we be lieve the chances are ten to one the other way. The matter of Senatorial nomina tion in Montour county was not quite settled at the convention on Monday, it appears. An adjournment wa3 taken until Monday, the nth inst., as the result of a charge of fraud and illegal voting. Gearingtr having but two more delegates than Chalfant, can't possibly spare what Chalfant claims as his by right. In the matter of full pay for absent Congressmen when needed to make up a quorum, we think the constituent who foots the bill might better sttt'e it bv electine other Congressmen, nn.t with the understanding that he Ts to attend to his business or suffer the consequence of their displeasure That's th; only way the dockage question can ever be settled right. SWEETNESS ! In the sugar scandal, following close upon me neeis 01 other ugly dis closures showing the influence of money, a few more Concressional secrets are ventilated as a matter of retaliation. As between RenuM! can-! and Democrats in Congress assembled, u seems to us very much like kettle calling pot black. Of course the investiritiniT com mittee recommend the prosecution of mose who toici all they knew about the bribe-money offered and received by the different parties. One of the betrayers, Edwards, says the sugar trust contributed from $250,000 to $300,000 to the Democratic cam paign fund. He also remembered some $25,000 given the Republicans merely as a first subse.iption. He said the Republicans wanted more, and they got it, too. Stephen 13. Elkin's name is mentioned prominently as an agency by which Mr. Gorman was brought into close association with the sugar trust comprised of Havemeyer, Terrell and Meyer. The testimony futther disclos;d the fact that of $100,000 which was sent to Connecticut for political eff.;ct Mr. Havemeyer gave one half, while E. C. Benedict and associates had raised the other halt. ' We repoduce these glorifications of our generous-hearted and siveet busi ness men as wholesome reading matter for the deluded and confiding sovereign power in " the land of the free and the home of the brave." We do it in the hope that sooner or later the sovereign power will find out not only that protection protects, but also that money talks. VETERANS AND CI7IL EEEVICE. A 1 1 1- great ueai 01 interest is bin2 1. -1 s .. . o i tivtn in mc new iivu Service law, passed at the recent session of the legislature, exempting veteran soldiers auu sauors ot the late civil war from civil examination for certain positions. The act states that persons who. served m me army or navy during the civil war and have been honorably dis charged shall be preferred for appoint ment to positions in the civil service of the State over all other persons graded lower than others examined, provided their Qualifications and fit ness shall have been ascertained, and the person thus preferred shall not be unqualified from holding any position in said civil service on account of his age, nor by reason of any disability provided ruch disability does not rend er him incompetent to perform the duties of the position applied for. 'But," continues the statute, "the civil service rules and laws of this State shall not apply to such persons residents of this state, who served in the army or navy of the United States, in the late war, and have been honor ably discharged therefrom, for any position or employment, the compen sation of which does not exceed $4 a day, in the public departments and upon all public works of the state of New York, and of the several cities, counties, towns and villages thereof." The important question has been raised as to whether the latter clause was relative to and includes salaries by the month or year amounting to less "compensation" than $4 a day or not. Politirml Evolntion. I ct's sec, what was the issue upon which 1 cmocra y came into power ?

They whipped out and destroyed the usefulness of the Republican party for any com mon good for common people, and it begins to look as though they had also won the affections of Democracy. In our liumhle opinion there is but one power on earth stronger to-day than our fostered and protected indus tries, and that is the power that kicked out disobedient Republicans and put in disobedient Democrats. What better can the sovereign power do ? I will tell you, gentle reader of the Columbian, what th-j sovereign power will do if bo'h old parties prove their hypocrisy murh longer, they will do as they hnve done in the past by tiie help of God w ho pae us a popular Government through the sword of Washington, thev will defeat both old panics, establish a people's party, and tr.us endeavor to approximate primi tive purity of government by the masses. Now Paint Urpaiatecl Homes. With the passage of the Wilson bill most anybody can soon paint tip ; for it lowers the duty on white lead one half. To have put white lead on the free list would have been better still. It is said by those in position to know that our white lead industry is one of the most consciousless trusts that pro tection protects in this country. We have about a dozen manufactories in all this country, and they are said to advertise their products collectively anu jointly while they no doubt look after the tariff on white lead individu ally as well as collectively. Hitherto they have feared no English compe ution, nor nave they had it to any extent iNow, it there should be a corres ponding reduction in the price of paint by virtue of a little foreign com petition there are many new and old unpainted buildings that will soon stand some chance of being brushed up all over this country, and in con sequence many idle painters will b able to find something to paint that needs it badly, and would have had it long ago, but for the high price cf paini. Protect tho Obstreperous Susnuelianna Against Floods. rc .u . . yji mc vast amount Ot mnnro nr.. pronriated vearlv hv . , J " ' ' V VI1V, benefit of rivers and harbors elsewhere, me innaDUants of the valleys and low lands of the Susquehanna ha as yet received one cent. The bulk of ail the millions thus far appropriated nas no doubt none to the henpfir nf the inhabitants of the Miecjccm; 1 11 . . . l v ai.ey, and lot the rivers anil hnrhnro in close proximity to our larT-r rinVc of the north, south, east and west of us. If it is ;ir..ued that the M;c:5r,; is a navigable and national thorough lare, and therefore most worthy of the vast amounts expended from vear to year to keep it so, we may claim that a little money expended on the north and west branches of the Sn. quehanna, in dams and dredainL'. would certainly make them navigable by boats that would enter into lively competition with our railroads. To say that millions of dollars have been wasted tl.louah the rivr ami ImrW bill upon streams utterly unnavigable by the design of God and nature, is putting it none too strong. If it is pos sible to build secure levees and thus protect the lowlands of the .Mississippi Valley from inundation, surely a hun dredth part of the money thus ex pended would render the lowlands of the Susquehanna entirely safe, and enhance the v due of such property very much. The safest plan, of course, is always to build above high-water maik j but where whole towns and cities have not done so, and conse quently are in constant jeopardy from overflow, it seems to the writer ih if .i little division of the lare, very large, annual appropriation for the benefit of rivers and harbors miht well be made alon' the Surquelunua in the. vicinity of Wilhamsport, Lewisburc.

And, again, as to value of pro- perty jr.jured from oveitlow of the rivers, the rice fields and agricultural lands of Mississippi are as nothing compared with the expensive ma Ciiinerv. manufactories and dwellimra Reriously affected bv the floods nf the Susquehanna. j Save 20 per ct. by buying boots and shoes of J.

Sooner or later, for the safety of the poor man, it is t : lc hoped this ( iovern ment may in some way (,ss f iteien gov ernujenls do) arrmi'.e t : true li s hard earned savings, so t hat ie: need not long er leave them 111 care ol our trappiag " saving institutions " s j ralYd. For it is a fact that fur years they have been tobbing him systet.mticiilly of his depo sits. Deposits left for afo-kcepii: there only because our Government had as yet made no provision whatever for the securi'y of snu'l depositors. Inter est-bearing bonds of all issues are not for him, anil their high denominations indicate that such absolute security with interest attaching wis never in tended for the poor but industrious wage-earner who might make an hon est effort through industry and econu my to save something against adversity. Republican Fallacies on Wool. First, it is quite the thing with them to sneer at free wool in the interest of farmers, in the face of the fact that the McKinley tarilT policy has de spoiled his home through us wily de lusions and humbug theo-ies as to its relations to the interests of the farmer. The American farmer has now 1 cached the day when hard facts speak louder to him than fine spun theories about high or low tariff. There is excellent Republican au thority that free wool a ways has been a benefit to the farming class of t!.s country. If we produced wool as we produce iron and coal the case might be different ; but in the face of the fact that we want to buy rather than to sell wool, the benefit of us high protection will never strike the farmer very forcibly. It is a historical fact that under the tariff of 1S57, and up to the out break of the w.tr, the farmer could get about octs. a pound for his wool, while now, after 30 years of high pro tection, and about four years of the McKinley kindness, the farmer does well, indeed, to get 25 cts. a pound for wool. The United States to day is the only manufacturing country in the world which is so foolish as to impose a du'.y on a 1 aw material cf which she is unable to produce a supply sufficient for her own use. The farmer when he buys his winter cloth ing, his blankets, his horse covers, his flannels and underwear for his family, bis to either takj McKinley quality or pay McKinW juices. if farmers understood how they were humbugged and plucked by the protective warp and woof of the wool business, instead of being moderate tariff reformers they would be more apt to b; free traders outright. Shotild Governor Tattison be in strumental in effecting an amicable adjustment between labor and capital in Pennsylvania, after all the Litter strife that strikes and dismissals have engendered, we think of no more like ly or available Democratic candidate fur President of the United States. If nothing else this popular bit of ar bitration would give him sufficient prestige. But success must c-own his efloris if he would gain more ptestige than he loses. It is stated that it costs the people of the United States $25,000,000 to be born ; $300,000,000 to get married ; $75,000,000 to be buried, and $900, ooo.oco to get diunk.
