The Worst Yet- It is not a "free trader" but an old time Republican protectionist who characterizes the senate tariff bill as "the most outrageous one ever given to the people of this country." Sena tor Teller, who voted for the bill be cause he believed in giving to the Republican party the full responsibility which should accompany power, says this. He declares that 'it is a travesty upon the principle of protection," a measure "designed exclusively for the benefit of corporations, with little re gard for revenue and none for the people." The list of one hundred and thirty articles enumerated by Senator Vest on which the duty has been increased in order to strengthen the monopoly that controls them bears out this state ment. Well might Senator White ex claim as the measure passed : "I hope that the trusts of the United States will now give the chairman of the Republican national committee a receipt in full!" The bill is bad in principle and bad in detail. It puts the highest duties on the commonest necessaries of the people and essentials of manufacturing. It will not, unless radically amended in conterence, meet the deficiency in revenue which was the only excuse for legislation at this time. If the Mc Kinley bill was a blunder and the Wilson-Gorman bill a betrayal, the senate bill is a crime. World. . Governor Approves Bills- Affixes His Signatures to a Number ol Measures. For two hours Saturday m the Executive chamber Governor Hast ings consulted with Senators Quay and Penrose and Secretary Reeder as to the bills in his possession passed in the closing hours of the Legislature. The bill in the interest of the Guarantors' Liability Indemnity Com pany, of Philadelphia. This measure is known as the Durham bill, and authorizes trust companies, by a vote of their directors, to engage in the in surance business. These measures were also signed by the Governor : Requiring Borough Tax Collectors to make monthly returns. Providing for the collection of toll on traction engines. Repealing an act relating to fences Cumberland and Perry Counties. Giving to the State preference in the trial and hearing of cases invol ving the collection of revenues claim ed by the State. Supplement to the act relating to fraudulent debtors authorizing the Courts to inquire into the validity of judgments confessed and alleged to be fraudulent and preventing the practice. Authorizing County Commissioners to assist boroughs in building bridges. There are several offices to be filled at this fall's election, and candidates are getting quite numerous. HEW TRIAL REFUSED. Dr. S. C. Swallow, of Harrisburg. who was convicted at the March ses sions of criminal court of libelling Captain John C. Delaney, Superin tendent of Public grounds and build ings in the Pennsylvania Methodist of which he is editor was on Monday re fused the privilege of a new trial be fore the Dauphin County court in a lengthy tjpinion by Judge Simonton. I he court in refusing the new trial says : " The indictment alleged that these paragraphs were published of and concerning the members and the su perintendent of public grounds and buildings, and that the meaning of the paragraphs was to charge them with knowingly and corruptly and fraudulently cheating and defrauding the commonwealth, and with fraudu lently and corruptly misusing and mis appropriating to themselves and to others the public moneys of the com monwealth. Defendant admitted pub lication, but denied that he intended to refer to the board or its members, or that it did in fact charge them with the offenses alleged in the indictment. The defendant further claimed that even if the jury should find against him on the points that the paragraph would be understood by the public to refer to the prosecutors, the matters puDlished by him were proper for pub lie information and he could not therefore be convicted, if no negli gence or malice were shown. The court declined to instruct the jury that the burden of proving malice and negligence was upon the common wealth, holding that the burden was on defendant to rebut the presump tion of malice arising from this pubh cation in question." The case will now be carried to the Supreme Court. Quay a Candidate. 1 Senator Quay has changed his mind and will be a candidate for re-election to the United States Senate. He announces that " the fiery cross will again be carried over the state, and the men in blouses, the bourgeoisie," asked to rally to his support. He is confident of re-election and his crea tures are jubilant because he has an nounced himself a candidate. With the capitol burned to the ground and a treasury suiplus con sumed in the hot raids of Quay hench men it is proper as well as poetic for the boss to carry a fiery cross over the state. It is to be hoped that when he does this a numoer of Republicans will adhere to their expressed inten- tion to nail him The triends and creatures of this boss are the men who were interested in every piece of thievery, in every "cinch bill, in every scheme of job bery that constituted so much of the " business ' of the last legislature. This was Quay's method of paying his political debts to them putting them where they could pay themselves. None of the reforms he promised so volubly when he teared defeat and ex tinction has been consummated. He cannot give the state reforms and at the same time retain his power. Re form would disperse the crowd of pol lticians who aid in keeping him at the head of the machine. The longer Quay retains his power the- more corrupt and the more nearly criminal it becomes. There are other states bossed to a certain degree, but there is no other state which must suffer so much shame and disgrace as Pennsylvania suffers through Quay. Let him carry the fiery cross if he must. He may be crucified UDon it. Patriot. Don't Know This Country. Judge Motzgar Refuses Many Applications for Naturalization. Since the new Alifln T.nhnr inir taxing foreign laborers three rents t day, went into effect, there has been v 1 . a rusn 01 people to Judge Metzgar's chambers who want to be naturalized and escape the tax, The Judge, how ever, is not in a nurry to naturalize People Who do not know nnitViintr about the running of this government, aunougn ttiey have been here a num ber of years, and many of them are sent away without their papers. rnuay a rnan appeared before the court who did not know that his na. tive country was a kingdom. He wasn't naturalized. Saturday a Russian, whn has in this country eight years, appeared before the court for his fi and when asked what form of govern ment mis is ne didn't know, but said he "voted for the best man and didn't want to pay three cents a ri. " tt afterward Said this Was a kintrilnm and the judge told him to go and siuuy up a nine. "Here's a lot of men living hr said the Court, and they never cared a cent aooui tne country until this law went into effect, and. now tHv want to save the tax by being natural- ' wen mey don't know a thing about the country." The Philadelohia and Renrlmrr roi , (5 and Iron Company began last Thurs day to enforce the Alien Labor law among their employes, and many were sent home from work. Don's Trade Review. Last week Duns Jteriew recorded by states 6,937 failures in the first half of 1897, with liabilities of $109,162,- 104, a larger amount by $ 15,500,000 than are included in any other report (or the half year, and gave separately 116 banking and financial failures, with liabilities of $17,469,407, and 68 2 1 commercial failures, with liabil ities of $91,692,787, classified as manufacturing, trading and other com mercial. While this record is far su perior to any other, since it shows in what general departments of business failures occurred, it is of small value or interest compared with the record now given, which traces to separate branches of manufactures or trade a great pioportion of the failures and losses for the entire half year and the second quarter of the three previous years. Thus are shown not only the distribution of failures and losses for the entire half year, but the fluctuating conditions in each quarter separately can be traced lor each branch of busi ness, a matter of the highest import ance in guiding judgment of manufac turers and dealers, and those who con trol extension of credits. The general statement that manu facturing failures during the first half of 1897 exceeded in amount those of the same half in any previous year of which we have record, is by itself somewhat disheartening. Nor is it helpful to observe that, contrary to custom, such failures were a little larger in the second quarter than in the first. But the statement by branch es shows at a glance that the excess was entirely due to disasters in a single branch of manufacture in the second quarter, which, but for a few of these would have shown smaller defaulted liabilities in manufacturing than in 1096, and that these alone mads up more than the excess for the half year over failures of either previous year. There were seven large cotton failures in the half year for $8,839,739, and six of these for $8,599,734 were in the second quarter, nearly all in April and at JSew Bedford. The liabilities in half a dozen failures at that city much exceeded those in all other cotton failures for three and a half years. Next in magnitude and in excess over previous years come the failures in iron manufacture, and these also would have been smaller than in any previous year but for two in January for $1,200,000, two in April for $803,- 000, four in May for $675,000 and five in June for $1,709,766, which fairly account for the increase. These were not nested together and under one management as in the cotton manufacture, but though somewhat scattered were mainly due to similar causes ; the excessive production in the summer and fall of 1895, the con sequent depression in materials, the maintenance by various combinations of prices which prevented natural buy ing, and then the panic last fall and the rupture of combinations and the sharp decline in prices this year. Outside New Bedford no other great industry has sustained as severe losses as have been caused in the iron indus try by this succession of events. Names on Envelopes Legal. Judge Decides They May Be Admitted to Probate. Dr. George T. Jacoby died at Pitts burg some fine ago, leaving an estate of about $30,000, mainly in stocks and bonds.. These were in a tin box deposited in a vault. The stocks were in envelopes, each envelope bearing the name of the person for whom the contents were intended. A big legal fight has been going on over the question of admitting the names on the envelopes as a part of the will, and Judge William G. Hawk ins has decided that the names may be admitted to probate, sustaining Register Gripp, who held that the writing on the envelopes had been made after the execution of the will and were therefore in the nature of a codicil.

Swallow, the Prohi bition candidate for State Treasurer, who charged that the State Capitol building was set on fire, has issued the following statement : " The evidence submitted to the Legislative Committee on the origin of the Capitol fire, showing that it was of incendiary origin, was suppress ed by that committee. For reasons known to us and to them, Messrs. Hastings, Haywood and Mylin, Com missioners of the building, and Delaney, their Superintendent, have refused repeatedly the request to offer a reward for the conviction of the criminals.
