New York, being in a fearful state of turmoil over the question of fe male suffrage, we reproduce the fol lowing poetical apprehension which emanates from York State : If Quav and McFherscr. feel lonek as Senators who ackr.oa'.ec'ged having speciateJ in sugar stock, it is possible they could tr.d seme company by locking around the Senate a little. New York is reported as mikinc an effort to purge Tammany of the od;rrm of the Lexow disclosures. Whitewash is being prepared to smear over considerable blackness, it seems. The investigation will, if honestly conducted, involve a big task. It will not surprise the reader we hope to be informed that the New York police force are net fully sanctified as a class, inasmuch as they have been standing in with all manner of crimi nals and lewd women for hush raonev. The withdrawal cf William Chris man, Esq.. as a candidate for State Senator in this district was a com mendable step. This county has just had a full term in the Senate, and the chances for a second term, in view of the fact that J. Henry Cochran already has Lycoming and Montour counties, were exceedingly slight. Besides, a fight for the Senatorial nomination might have endangered the chances for the Congressional nomination, which now seems almost sure to come to this count-. Of course we could not hope for both the Senator and Congressman.

Singerly is a native of Philadelphia, where he was Kirn on December 17, 13. and where, wn!i the exception of a brief period, he h.is lived ever since. His father was Joseph Singerly, one of the origins t.;s of the street railway system of that city, from whom his son has in he;;ted h-.s marked buiness ability. After graduating from the Philadel phia High School in 1850, Mr. Singer y spent ten years in a produce com mission house and acquired a thor ough commercial training. He was afterward engaged with his father in the management of his street car lines, and then went to Chicago, where he was in business for himself as a com mission merchant. Recalled to Phila delphia by his father to assume the management of the Gerniantown Pas senger Railway Company he proved a highly successful manager, extended the system, and eventually disposed of it on highly advantageous terms. AU this time Mr. Singerly was an enthusiastic and unswerving Demo crat, active in the councils of the party in Philadelphia, and always eager to promote its interests in the city. State and nation. A fine opportunity for this presented itself to him in te':;, when he bought ' The Philadelphia Record." then a feeble journal, wi;h a circulation of less than 6.053 copies daily. Mr. Singerly immediate. y strengthened it in every department, introduced aggressive methods, and made it what it now is. the to'emost penny paper of the United States, witn an average circulation of about 163. ceo copies daily. This remarkable feat was performed in the face of the fact that Philadelphia is the roost strongly Republican large citv in the United States, and that The Record " has ant.igonired the theories roost cherished by its people, such as Protection. Mr. Singeily was a tarirl reformer long before that is sue became a popular one in the United States, and th-ough his paper has always battled bravely for a vigor ous reduction in the tarirT duties, es pecially on the raw materials of indus try, believing that only in this way could American manufacturers reach the foreign markets required for the extension and prosperity of their busi ness. He took this stand as a manu facturer himself, having been for many years interested in large woolen and cotton esiab!ishrx.er,tsT While " The Record " na be said to be Mr. SingerVs pet, in which he takes the greatest pride, it is but one of many diversified interests that claim his attention. He is a heavv real estate owner in Philadelphia, hav ing erected over i.zss houses there.in addition to a splendid home for his paper. Ia 1SS7, upon the retirement of txovernor Pattison iron otnee. Mr. Singerly took an active part in estab lishing the Cr.esmu: Street National Bank, of which the ex Governor be came the first president Upon Mr. Pattison being called for a second time to the Governorship of Pennsyl vania Mr. Singerly succeeded him as president of the bank, a position he still holds. He is also president of the Chestnut Street Trust and Savings Fund Company, and has li-ge inter ests in a number of commercasl. man ufacturing and other establishments. Ia setkicg for relaxation from the cares of business, M- Singerly Las for many years taken a keen interest in farming and s.ock raising. His herds cf Hoistria cattle at his Urge farm at Gwynedd, in Montgomery County, were famous for years ; and he is now the owner cf tne Elkton Stock Farm, near Elttoa, Cec.i; Cojnty, Md.. ia the welfare of which he uses a deep interest. At Elkton he also possesses ore of the largest paper and pulp rcuj in the L aited states, from which he supplies not only paper for his own journal, but for large outside interests as well Notwithstaniirg the pressure cf all these great i-.terests cpon him, Mr. smgerir has always taken an interest politics ; and no man is better known in Demr-atic ctrcles through out the State than he. He has ne-er held ornce, ho ever, except the hon orary position of Commissioner of Fairrnount Park, ia Philadelphia, as a non saa.r.ed omce, which requires him to devote c. -.siderable tme to the wants o: tr.it great p.easure- ground.

The Tariff. " ' ' ' The Republican tarirT of 1883 created ihe igar tntst by giving it its oppotti'iiiivs. These were strengthen ed by the McKin.cy law. which wss the last of the twenty six t.vifl bil s passed I y tl.c Republican party in twenty f.ve years. When Major MeKinley was getting his tariri" bill into shape, aftet he had arranged lor a bounty of two cents a pound to the Louisiana sugar growers, it was announced that a duty of only 5 per cen, would be allowed the re nning interest. This brought the trust to Washington in force, as the propos ed duty equaled only 16 cents on the hundred pounds to the refineries. The night before the bill was reported, April 16. it ws found that the duty had teen increased 150 per cent, or from 16 to 40 cents per 100 pounds. Sugar trust stock, which has been sell ing at 63, at once began advancing by leaps. In five weeks it went up from 631095. adding $16,00,000 to the market value of the stock. The Mc Kinley bill passed the House with the duty at forty cents; the Senate fixed it at sixty cents, and the conference committee compromised at fifty cents, hich is the dutv now established by 'aw. While the bill was ia the Senate Mr. Quav wished the duty fixed at too cents per 100 pounds, but was unable tj carry an amendment tn that effect Tbe Senate amendments to the Wil son bill reduce the fifty cents cf the McKinley law to twelve cents on the 1 e pounds. This is hailed by the Re publican press as a gri.-.t concession to the sugsr trust. But great care is taken ret to mention the lact that it is one founh the protection conceded by the McKinley law. waile at the same time the Democratic plan wipes out the $11,000,000 bounty granted the sugar growers o; Louisiana. This is a specimen of the bin; now go ng on in regard to the revision of the tarirT. Republican laws created the sugar trust and gave it the extraordi nary power it seems to possess to in Silence legislation. For our own part we do not believe it snould get a cent of protection. All that is needed is a uniform revenue tax of a cent a pound. Lv&a Ilerahi Tuc Kiel liii's Iioose Tax.

That's what they, in their greed and selfishness call it The poor man sniggling to raise and support a family would be far more justified in calling the direct 'axes levied upon him pernicious, exorbitant, ruinots. &c because it takes his very last col.ar frequently, while the tax they so bitterly denounce and com plain cf is only a very small percent age upon what a poot man deems a superabundance, or more than enough. He is apt to regard a $.000 income as quite able to stand a iitue two per cent taxation, if he, with nothing but what his hands can earn from day to day, must stand a direct occupation tax whether he is employed or not ; and also stauvd a heavy school tax whether be has children or cot And so through church and Stale, the poor man's tax, alwa in proportionate ex cess of the rich man's, raigrit with some degree cf equity be ca led most per ricous as compared wim the little so called - pern: cons " two per cent im posed upon tne rich.

If so, it will be but one more deceptive measure to pass through CongTess. It will be an osten sible Democratic victory just like a piece of pie without the filling which is offered the sovereign power instead of pie proper. It is just a!out as ful some in its beneficial effects as will be the present tarirl bill with all its neu tralizing and nullifying amendments still adhering. It is "in fact hard for anv party, whether Democratic or Re publican, to interfere with the plans and purposes of the money power of this country to-day. To promise the sovereign power to do so, is one thing: but to actually do so is quite another, with any political party that may pre sume to attempt it T. F.
