An order emanating from the Treas ury Department curtailing the sugar bounties took effect on August 27th. The sovereign power will find it self powerless on the day of election unless it attends in time to the triflin2 matter of complying with the law re gulating the payment of taxes and the assessment and registration of voters. A very likely man, indeed, for ad vancement from Congressional to higher honors is the father of the original Wilson tariff bill who is fa miliarly known at his home in West Virginia as " Lilly Wilson." Among the employees recently dis charged from the Government Print ing Office it is said that more than 50 per cent of them held place through endorsement of Senator Gorman. This gentleman seems to have injured others as well as himself in his stub born fight against the administration of President Cleveland. We mention it, but not aa a matter of any great surprise, that Maine and Vermont have gone Republican, while Alabama, Tennessee and Ar kansas have gone Democratic. As both parties are disposed to crow over their victories, we suppose it is now the printer's daty to commence building pyramids of successful states and to hunt up the old battered and featherless roosters and . endeavor to get them in shape for a loud crow over the highest pyramid. While McKinley is up in Maine punching holes in the new tariff law with his oratorical fists, as Jim Corbett might say, treasury statistics for the first seven months of this year show an excess of exports over imports of f 55,000,000, or a " balance of trade " of that much in cur favor. McKinley himself has always held that a " bal ance of trade" io our favor was a sure sign of prosperity. Will he now proceed to amend his speeches ot will he change the signs 7 Ex. All Republican tariff speeches are alike : read one and all will have been read. They are all devoted to a criti cism of the new tariff law, and all con tain the same points. They say thai the new law Pleases nobody ; Closed mills and factories from the time of its inception ; Destroyed American industries ; Reduc:d wages ; Benefits only the trusts. There is the catalogue of evils at tribUted tO this law Whirh is veri r,,u reviving industries and cheapening necessaries. The idas are elaborated in speeches but the orators say no more. It is the full scope of iieir in vention and they da not aKvays appear to be pro'id of it either. And while they iterate and reiterate the same charges industries continue to resume. J'atrht.

Mr. Buckati riorrira'jd The Democratic cor.gressional con ference of this district re assembled at iUr.vilie on Monday. Scplhmbtr icth. pursuant to adjournment. President (J. W.

Mc Devitt ; Sullivan, A- L. Smith, J. W. Flynn. Afier the 37th ballot. Mr. McDevitt presci.tid some petitions from citizens of Northumberland ccunty.'asking for the nomination of Chss. T.

Key lvr.es. M?.ny a political sermon may be preached to good advantage from these forceful and truthful words of President Cleveland : " The trusts and combinations the communism of pelf whose machina tions have prevented us from reach ing the success we deserved, should not be forgotten or forgiven. We shall recover from our astonishment at their exhibition of power, and if then the question is forced upon us whether they shall submit to the free legisla tive will of the people's representa tives or shall dictate the la?.-s which the people must obey, we will accept and settle that issue as one involving the integrity and safety of American institutions. The new law furnishes a vantage ground from which must be waged further aggressive operations against protected monopoly and gov ernmental favoritism." The case of ex cashier De La Green of the broker Money bank was tried last week at Williamsport in the United States District courts, before Judge Bufrington. He was charged with making false entries in the books. On July 20, 1S9 1, the books shewed overdrafts of $765, when they really were $27,561. On March 4, 1891, he mad.- a false entry showing the loans and discounts to be $157,871, when they really were $117,874. A false entry was made, showing the individ ual disposits to be $26,661, when they were really $158,000. On De cember 15, 1 89 1, the overdrafts were reported at $2,100 when they really were $27,811. He was charged with aiding and abetting John M. Bowman, President, to make false entries in the statement book showing the financial condition of the bank, the books showing $104,. 000 due depositois, when $125,000 was due, and loans $147,509, when they were only $116,407. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty on the counts for aiding and abetting John M. Bowman in making false entries. TI.e trial of John M. Bowman began 011 Monday and re sulted in his conviction. Whiie our millionaire George Gould is seeking a little expensive amusement at yacht-racing in English wateis, Max LcCaudy, an eccentric millionaire of Paris, recently gave an old fashioned bull ficht for the edifica tion of the elite and Parisian sports. About two hundred members of the aristocracy were thus delighted to see seveial mad bulls killed and three professional bull-fighters seriously hurt. Thus tastes differ among mil lionaires when in search of a little am vrment. THE COLUMBIAN, Tariff Enaction All Eight As to the disastrous effect that tariff reaction was to haveopon busi ness actwdin? to Republican assur ance, the word now reaching us from east to wtjt and from north to south is ) ist the century. V.'e will not say the present demand is a natural or normal one. for we rather think it to be the result and reaction cf a pre meditated tie-up of business generally a tie up for political effect so far as protected tiuti combines and monopolies could tie it up. Their suc cess revealed their strength, and the present business activity is occasioned by the natural law of demand wLich protected trusts and combines, though rich and powerful, cannot entirely control. In far too large a measure, however, they can and do control the output, and thus they control prices. The Comte de Paris who died last Saturday in England, was a claimant cf the throne of France. During the civil war he came to this country and was a member of General McCleIla:i's slij ind a brave soldier. He was a personal aciuaintunce oi lie late Captain C. B. Prockway, and the scrap book of the laUer contains an autograph Liter from the Comte de Paris to him.
