FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, JOHN S. RILLING, of Erie. IOR AUDITOR-GENERAL, DAVID F. MAGEK, of Lancaster. FOR fECREl AkY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS, V. W. GREENLAND, of Clarion. FOR CONGRESS-AT-L A RGE, JOSEPH C. BUCHER, of Union. HANNIBAL K. SLOAN, of Indiana. Jubt so far as equitable laws can do so, and no farther, this Government has two classes of people to care for, namely, the poor and the rich. When favors are all in one direction trouble may be anticipated by any government on earth, no matter whether it pro fesses 10 be heathen or christian in its religious devotions. We have no doubt that a more righteous and mercilul condition for the subjects of Corea will be one of the results of the war now in progress between China and Japan. The recent Alabama and Tenn essee victories for Democracy in the lace ot unfa voi able circumstances and formidable political combinations are anything but encouraging to those seeking to break the solid South. If the tariff question, combined with Populism and Republicanism cannot affect the Democratic hold on Ala bama then the chances for immediate revolution look slender. Quite a sig nificant feature of the recent Alabama election was the large number of colored voters who supported the Democratic ticket. It is said they more than made up for those dis affected Democrats who went over to the Populists. Another State Convention. Because of the death of Hon. H. K. Sloan, Democratic candidate for Congressman-at-large, it will be neces sary to hold another State Conven tion to fill the vacancy according to law. As the law now gives authority to the State Committee to fill vancancies under certain conditions where the vacancy occurs within thirty days of the election it would seem to be in the interest of economy to amend the law and extend the allotted time so as to cover any and all emergencies that might arise. It is plain that the State Committee should be given power to fill vacancies occurring at any time after the nominating con vention adjourns, and it is to be hoped that such an amendment may yet be adopted to avoid the expense and trouble occasioned by every extra Stare Convention now necessar ily convened where the death of a nominee takes place prior to thirty days before election. Not Much, But Something- If the Senate b?ll which was finally passed bv the House ai the hr that could be gotten toward tax reform is not all that was sought for, the long, continued struggle and the education resulting from it to those who vote is worth something. There is snr-h a CT ----- uvit t thing as reaping substantial victory irum apparent, ueieai sometimes, and we believe this tax reform defeat r h a victory deferred. It has got to come, uepena upon it, ye lavored lew. For the first time in the liva rf great many voters have they had a clear exposition 01 tne true status of the upper and lower branches of Congress. They now know that the Senate, or upper branch, l.)okr. after the interests of the upper crust of society, while the lower branch, the House of Represent tives, looks after the interests of the masses, because they know that they can be whipped out of office by a direct vote. For the first in many cases they have seen plainly that the House mem bers recognize their dependence upon the general populace for their official salvation, while the Senate cares little or nothing about public sentiment nor public censure, depending rather upon the love they can enkindle in the State legislatures. There is some talk already indulged in about a direct vote for Senators, as one of the results of the prolonged contest over tax or tariff reform ; but this, too, is far easier than its accom plishment. If the Senators now in office object to the preliminary lequisiies the matter cannot legally be brought be fore the people to vote upon r.ny such Constitutional amendment, no matter how badly it may seem to be needed. And our dignified Senators, who now presume t ) dictate terms to the Presi dent, will, we rather apprehend, let loose of their valuable hold reluctantly. A dream of a speedy Constitutional amendment, however much needed, is but a dream. National Constitutions differ from political platforms both in their making and unmaking. Likely it is very wise that such is the case. If the voice of the majority was always the voice of God, of course there would be no necessity for Senatorial or anv other restraint 1 but so long as the ma jority of Senators now in office doubt this truism, a Constitutional amend ment which clips their wings and cur tails their valuable privileges in deal ing with the money power, is not apt to meet with favcr. Ir.stead of adding any strength to the sovereign will or wish it seems to be a chief part of the Senate's busi ness to nullify that power as far as pos sible by amending popular legislation that come3 to it from the lower House. If the Senate cannot originate laws pertaining to the raising of revenue, it certainly can amend all such laws to death or virtual nullification, just as it has in the case of the Wilson tariff reform bill. Until a majority of the State legis latures elect United States Senators who are committed on the issue of a direct vote for the offices they hold, we greatly fear the ship of State will have to try to mount the same old bil lows. Popular will and the House of Representatives and the President cf the United States will continue to beg the Senate, while unpopular will, we greatly fear, will continue to buy it. The one thing about which the foun ders of our Government seem to have been over-confident was the perpetuity of the sense of honor that no doubt characterized our first Senators, and always characterizes the true patriot and statesmen. Ye gods, how have the mighty fallen ! The New Tariff Bill. It will not be long until the new classification of the tariff rates settles down upon business generally. Those most deeply interested financially are speedily acquainting themselves with the new order and are arranging their business accordingly. Manufacturing industries of all kinds are preparing not only for full operations, but fur running on extra time in many case?, to fill orders that should have been filled long since. This is the condi tion from Maine to California. A prolonged war abroad will greatly tend to increase the demand for all products that we usually export and create a demand for others not gene rally exported. Even the chronic pessimist should now be able to digest his food and see a ray of commercial and financial hope through a tariff law aiming, at least, to be equitable in its exactions. If it does not go as far as it ought in that direction, it is well to remember that the ground is now well broken and the first step taken by Democracy in the direction of equitable taxation. We shall have better times in which to cuss and discuss this matter in the future. If the present victory has been rather more for the classes than the masses, let us thank God and take courage, reflecting upon the fact that the masses will still continue to attend elections, where they can easily out number and over power the repre sentatives of the select few. That's all we need and all we can reasonably ask in the interest of good govern ment a government " by, of and for the people." Under the new law ail incomes above $4,000 are subject to a two per cent taxation. As to the writer hereof, it don't hit him ; and if it hits you, dear reader, let us congratulate you upon being thus hit We take it that with a solid income of over $4,000 a year you just'y owe a little two per cent patriotic tax towards a good gov ernment, such as ours, that is sworn to protect and defend all your valu able interests against whomsoever or whatsoever may presume to despoil your valuables. We are among those who think you owe it and ought to pay it, congratulating yourself upon the fact that rich men have to pay considerable more than this in other countries. How much more do you ask ? Well, just inquire a little and find out for certain whether newspaper reports have it straight or not, about its being two and three and four times as much in the case of some govern ments old enough to know what is best and what is fair and what is most equitable when it comes to protecting and taxing tbeir subjects.

Many mills and tvumif.ictories have ban nursing orders fjr some time so ion& in fact as to have some of them withdrawn and placed with mills in operation and prepared to fill their orJers punctually. A lively and nealthful competition may reasonably be expected, and if a change foi ih better commercially and firtanci'nllu don't take place under the reformed conditions let us nopo at least that they will be no worse than the Mc Kinley calamity has so long inflicted upon us. in lact mey can t wen ue wor&e without a ncroctual oanic and a continuous business famine.
