'ax. uri'ler tlie Act of Assembly of las' June, could not be collected on nvM-i gages held by corporations. The Incision, however, does not impair the right to collect the tax on mortgages tirld by Individuals. The State will lose about a year ry the decision. Such a law ought not to be permitted to disgrace the Statute book. If mortgages held bv a corporation are not legally subject to the same tax penalty that they are wheu owned by individuals, then there is something "rotten in Pen mark. " ard the next Legislature should apply the proper remedy. It is not yet definitely known whether the Democrats or Republicans will con trol the Legislature of New Jersey, one of whose duties will be the election of a United Sta'es Senator to succeed (leneral Sewell, Republican, whose term will expire on the 4th of next March. Ou the day after the election the Demo crat, who had elected their candidate by over j,CK"iO majority, claimed a major ity of two at Uast on joint ballot. In several Hou?e districts the contest was remaikably close, the majorities on one side or the other ranging from one to fen, or a few votes above the latter numtjer. A recount of the vote in all these close contePts was demanded, acd that process has been going on for more than a week, with indications that the Democrats wi'l be, sustained lu their first estimate. John Scmmerfield Staples, who was President Lincoln's substitute du ring the war, and received $000 bounty, is at present living at Stroudsburg, Pa., work ng at his trade, which is that of a carpenter. He Is a sober, industrious man. Wheu he was enlisted he was 18 years old. When the quota of the Third ward, "Washington, in which Mr. Lin coln lived, was fixed, he requested Mr. N. D. Lamer to procure him a substi tute. While Mr, Larner was walking down Pennsylyania Avenue he met the young man and his father. Rev. John L. Staples. He stopped them and said to the son, "You are the man 1 have been looking for. How would you like to go as a substitute for President Lin coIlV Mr, Staples replied he was willing if his :"ather consented, which iho latter did. Arrangements were then and there made, and the result was that young Staples after seeing Mr. Lincoln, who was pleased with him, was mus tered in. H Am h ldi commenced constructing his great Ftatue of "Liberty Enlighten ing the World," in 1T0, and completed it in July, 18K. In 18S1 it was tempo rarily put together in Paris in the pres ence of the United States Ministei and a large gathering of prominent citizens of France, Our readers can form an adequate conception of its vast size from j the following rtatement of its dimen- Ft. in. j rielaht from base to torch 151 1 1 foundation of pedestal to torch 3u5 e Heel to top pI head Ill 9 I.enth ol hand .. 11 5 Indf t tinker 8 0 I treomference at second Joint 7 8 ieof fingernail - 13x10 In.

Black's vote falls below Cleveland's 23,151, while Beaver falls below Blaine's 01,319. Beaver's majority falls below that of any of bis associates on the Re publican ticket. The Prohibition vote for Wolfe this year Increased 1G.C25 over St. John's vote two years ago, which was 15,737, or in other words it more than doubled itself. Goverxor Pattison baa appointed Henry Reed, of Philadelphia, to the va cancy on the bench cf the Court of Common Tleas in that city, caused by the recent death of Judge Ludlow. It seems to be conceded that Mr. Reed is entirely competent for the position, but as be is a Republican some of the Phila delphia Democrats and some Democratic newspapers outside of that city, think the Governor ought to have appointed a member of his own party. Nearly every politician would reach that conclusion. It must be remembered, however, that at the late election in Philadelphia thousands of Republicans bolted the nomination of Briggs, the regularly nominated Repnblican candidate for Judge of the Courts, and voted for Judge GordoB, a personal friend of the Gover icr, whom he appointed less than a year go. Judge Gordon ws elected by a irge mty.'rity, which would not have ken place unless the" Republicans bad me to his rescue. This fact no doubt I'gely influenced the Governor In ma lt -g Reed's appointment. So far as we ca remember, Gov. Pattison has made but one mistake in his important ap Piiments since he assumed the duties of In office, and that was when be nom inatti iifgbee f0 he Superintendent of P"b! Instruction over the heads of so vera better men. Nicholas Callan, who was buried last week in Washiugton bad shaken hands with eighteen Presidents, He was born in that city in 1808, a short time before it became the seat of government, lie filled the position of Private Secre tary to President Harrison, had a very remarkable memory, and his conversa tion was full of interesting anecdotes of the past. The fficial vote of Connecticut at lhe late electiou shows that Cleveland, the Democratic candidate for Governor, received votes, and Lounsbury, the Republican candidate, 50,021. There was a Prohibition candidate also in the fluid, and although Cleveland has a ma jority of 1,807 votes over Lounsbury, he is defeated, for the reason that be, lacks 2,852 of a majority of all the votes cast at the election for Governor for the different candidates. This result is In accordance with an ancient statute of the nutmeg State and as the Legislature is Republican it will elect the defeated Lounsbury to be its next Governor. The same anomalous law exists in some of other New England States. The popular theory is that this is "a government of the people, for the peonle, and by the people," as Stephen A. Douglas once gaid, and as Mr. Lincoln afterwards declared in bis celebrated speech on the battle field of Gettysburg, but the doc trine won't hold good when applied to Connecticut. The election laws of that State should be revised, but as she has been voiing under them for so long a time, i is hardly to be expected that auy attempt will be made to change them. When a few years ego M. S. Quay, that "brilliant statesman," as he was etjled by the Republicans of this county in convention assembled, so manipulated the Tardon Board as to snatch, as it were, William II. Kemble from the por tals of Moyamensing prison, thereby bringing down upon his head the swift indignation of the Republican press throughout the State, it was accepted as a foregone conclusion that his political star had set never more to rise. In the aommer of 18S5, however, Quay was himself again, and by giving the screw of the Republican machine another turn, he appeared before the people of the State as the full fledged nominee o! the Republican party for State Treasu rer. He was elected, bis party having condoned his offense, and it was then believed that his audacious ambition was satisfied. But it wasn't, and he is scarcely warm in the Treasury at Har risburg until he aspires to a seat in the Senate of the United States, and bids fair to clutch the prize without any one saying him nay. It is the most singular and instructive illustration of the power of scientific bossism that this State, or perhaps any other, has ever witnessed. The Republican members of the next legislature are now so completely car ried off their feet with admiration for this new favorite Republican son of the Keystone State, that they have already, informally, to be sure, elected him, al though it is two months in advance of the time when they can legally do so. The Philadelphia delegation first set the Quay ball in motion, followed by the I Allegheny members, then by the Schuyl- kill and Lancaster delegations, and It is still rolling on. Galusha A. Grow, Wharton Barker, Calvin Wells and J Thomas V. Cooper, each of whom had I a Senatorial lightning rod erected, gaze ! with suddenly awakened awe, without j the admiration, upon this blazing Quay I comet, with its long, luminous, bushy tail, as it BWPri8 onward !hr.inrh t v r, llei,uUUci.n 8ky and fee, a3 th fa ' had U.t-n strucfc with a large slice of tbe Day of Judgment, When Quay is elect ed, let each of them, when he recovers military commander of olden times said of his successful opporent, "Great, let me call him, for he conquered me." Nearly every President since 1837 has found his party in a minority In the lower branch of Congress in the second year of his administration. This was the case with General Harrison, who was elected in 1840, with Polk who was elected in 1844, and with his successor, General Taylor, who defeated Cass '.n 1M8. In 1872 Grant's overwhelming ! majority over Horace Greeley brought with it a two-thtrds majority in the House, bnt in 1874 this majority was overturned by a popular revolution as great as it was unexpected. And so with Garfield who carried with him a majority of the House in 1880, which, however, was reversed in 1882. Accord ing, therefore, to an almost unbroken line of precedents, it was to have been expected that at the Congressional elections which were held in thirty five States on the 2nd instant, Congressmen having been elected in the remaining three States during the sum mer and autumn, the Republican party would have succeeded in returning a majority of the members of the next House. The result, however, proved otherwise, and the Democrats will enter the Fiftieth Congress with a fair work ing majority of not less than fifteen and It may be five or ten beyond that num ber. Mr. Cleveland Is the only Demo cratic President since Martin Van Buren's time who finds a House of Representatives chosen in the second year of his administration in accord with him. It is an endorsement of his methods of administering the govern ment almost without a precedent. The reasons why the House changes its polit ical complexion are easily to be compie hended, and may be summed up by the simple statement that it Is the work of disappointed applicants for office. Where there are five, ten and sometimes more applicant for every ofBce at the disposal of the President, when only one can be appointed, and the disappointed seek revenge by attempting to defeat the Congressman who was unable to find places for them. This was tbe cause of the defeat of Charles E. Boyle in the Westmoreland, Fayette and Greene dis trict, who is one of the most useful and able members of the present House. A like fate and for the same reason over took other good and useful members In other States. Mr. Cleveland is often spoken of as a man of wonderful luck and the result of the recent Congression al elections gives additional strength to the claim In that respect which his ad mirers make for him. The Ownership of Land. Ooce all men were tramps. The In dians used to own all land in common. They didn't sow much, and they didn't reap much. They lived on game, fish and clams, but there wasn't enough to go round, and then one said to the other, "I have as good a right as you to what there is," and he tried to grab it. The other Indians killed him. Tnat is the way we all began. The white men who were our grandfathers lived in the same way in Europe, but that way didn't work well, and the white men gave it up, but the Indians baveu't given it up yet. What did they do next? Ttiey saw that all their food came out of the land, aud tint if they did not fence in some of tbe land somewhere and plant it, there would not be enough food to go around. Game was getting scarce. A tribe or a family fenced in a piece, and said to the rest. "This is ours." No body objected just then, because there was more land than folks. After the tribe had taken the land, a part of them planted it, and tbe rest of them kept up the fences, that is to say, they stayed round the outside, and kept the tramps off. Next year the tribe that had fenced in or set apart some of the land had plenty of food, and then they had a lot of time to spare, so they went to work making better clothes and building bet ter houses ; the next year they were a gieat deal stronger, because they had been better fed and better clothed and better housed. The more they fenced in and used the land, the more food there was for themselves and others. The lramp3 outside had a great deal more land, they also bad all the game there was, and all tbe time there was, but they said, "these fellows inside the fence have taken our land, but as we have worked just as hard outside aa they have, they ought to share even ; we have just as much right to some of their crop and If they won't give them to us, let's go and take them let's all share even." That is just what the tramps say now, but they don't get it, because the men inside the fence have the most sense and the most muscle, the best tools and the best gnr.s, and they know how to use them. The tramps wer licked acd then they began to grnmble, as they do now. Thy said to the men inside the fence, "You have no right to that land, we want some of it." The men inside said, "there is land enough outside ; why don't you fence in some out there 1"' The tramps said, "we want to stay here." Then said the men Inside the fence, "stay, if if you want to, and swap with us. there will be enough for all of us if we swap. We will work the land, which is good for nothing unless it is worked, but we can't all work on this land ; let's swap work on land for some other kind of work." "But, where shall I stay?" said the tramp. "We can't all live in the woods." "No," said the man inside the fence, "we have more food than we cau eat, more timber than we can use. more iron than we want ; yon can come in and woik up these things, and we will let you have a part : we will swap grain and meat and timber and iron which we have saved from our owe work and cannot use ourselves for your work." The tramps agreed. Where was the thief? Both had more than they had before. Which one gained the most? K Atkinson tn Work and Wages. An Impending Evil. To a reflective mind it must appear that the most Important question for governmental action and restraint now in view is that of the creation and con duct of corporations. The present method of organizing corporations may be as good as any that can be devised, but the opportunities that are afforded by existing conditions for enlarging cap- a . , " n a- ' l u luc "wn., waiting i stocks, seems to threaten the most een- I ous danger to stability of government. I A policy that makes the rich richer and I iuc fcTLrvi cvwici auuum ue avoided. A few score of millionaires and a few mil lions of paupers make an unhealthy state, and that's what seems to be the promise of the future unless the evil is corrected. l re Hon. il.iani L. Scott, himself I id to be a millionaire twenty times j sa ove in ounrcu ueiiverea iusr, ifrr i the recent election, made the amazincr statement that the Edgar Thomson steel works, near Pitt3burg, on a capital stock cf about f 1,000,000 made a clear profit in one year of fl, 300,000. The quotation is from memory, but approxi mately correct. Mr. Scott probably knew what he was talking about for the reason that he is one of th largest consumers of the wares the company produces in the country. Bnt when it is added that during tbe same year in which the fabu lous profits were scored, the wages of workingmen were reduced two or three times, and at the end of twelve months more than half of the large array of em ployes were working at starvation prices, the cause for alarm increases. The evils of watered stock corpora tions are very similar. The company is organized with a canital of saw ior . 000 and the plant procured and equipped. A reasonable profit on the investment would be $10,000 a year, exclusive of salaries. But the President wants that much out of it himself. The Secretary, who is a favorite, must have as much. The business manager has to be taken care of with equal liberality, and so it goes until the expenses aggregate more for one year than the entire capital amounts to. Then the controlling Rirg gets together. They increase the capital to a million or more, divide the watreri shares among themselves without paying in a dollar additional and proceed under the new order of things. What is the consequence? Whv instead of t.h nri. inal capital yielding a fair profit on its face value, it has to produce the same percentage on ten times the amonnt Tn other words, instead of producing ten per cent, a year in profits. It produces one hundred per cent., and the difference is taken rrom the wages of the laboring men employed by the concern. Workingmen wonder why theii wages ie consiniiy going down. The secret is in the facts stated above. In the case of the Edgar Thomson Steel Company, the evil Is made possible by combination and excessive tariff, and in the other case ny collusion and watered stock. Ilanrishurg Patriot. The Farmer's Tote the Most Important. The farmer's vote is. bevond all com parison, the most important vote in this country, and it is more of a native vote man ny otner. ac me last census i.jyz,u'jy persons were reported as en gaged in various employments, of which i-i.ijjiwa were males of all ages. Of these 7,075,&83 were engaged in agricul tural pursuits, as farmers, farm laborers and stock raisers, Nine-tenths of these people were natives of the United States. so that It is clear that th farmer Tote is fully one-haif of the whole rote cast. Of persons engaged in professional or in personal services there were 2 712 943 males, while 1.750,892 were engaged in trade and transportation, and 3 205,124 in manufacturing and mechanical indus tries. Even in this State, which manu factures on bo large a scale, out of 1,528,2'4 persons returned as emp'oved in various pursuits, there were 375,313 engaged in agriculture, and it is a well known fact that a majority of the coun ties are controlled by tbe agricultural vote. Therefore, when our statesmen cultivate them at fairs, con ve;,;-..,n3 and in other ways, they show themselves to be wise in their day and generation, and to have proper views of the needs of their constituents, as well as of 'heir own. Jirof,lhn Ehi'fle. FRO-CATII EDRAL BURNED. Allegheny Cathedral Destroyed. About half past twelve o'clock on last Saturday morning St. Peter's Roman Catholic Pro-Cathedra! in Allegheny was discovered to be on fire. Tbe alarm was sounded and tbe department quickly respouded, tbe entire force turniLg out, but it was impossible to save the beauti ful building, and it was only by the most strenuous efforts that tbe fire was kept from spreading. The church was supposed to be the handsomest Catholic church in Western Pennsylvania, and was finished in 1874. It was built of blue sandstone, after the pure Gothic style. The pire was 175 feet high. In the interior were three heavy arches, extending the length of the entire building. In the front, facing Ohio 8 reet, was the choir gallery, flanked on each side by smaller galleries. The stained glass windows, nine on each eide, were the private donations of tbe best known Roman Catholic families, each bearing the name of tbe donor. The total cost of the Cathedral was flSO.000. An insurance of $40,000, in Eastern companies principally, was car ried. The altar was the finest in Pittsburg, and was built in Cincinnati, of imported marble. It cost $3,500. The pulpit was of solid walnut, of modern finish. The organ cost $15,000. and was built by Tompligz, of Baltimore. For six weeks a workman from that city baa been re pairing it. It was entirely destroyed. The architect was Keilly, of Brooklyn, N. Y. To-day Bishop Phelan made arrange ments for tbe disposition of the congre gation which usually worships there. As soon as possible tbe work of rebuild ing will be begun. The origin of the fire in somewhat of a mystery. Last Saturday natural gas fixtures were placed in the church and tbe connections were made. The janitor left the building at about 7 o'clock last evening. The gas was turned off, but tbe 1 urn ace was still burning. It is supposed that the gas escaped and was ignited at one of the registers. How Farmers are Robbed by Railroad Discriminations. Speech of Senator Edmonds at the VermoDt State Agricultural Fair. . And in still anothei and most impor tant way, the state f things I have mentioned injuriously affects our farm ers, manufacturers and merchants. This la done by charging too high rates for short transportation and too low rates for long distances. It frequently hap pens, as everybody knows, ,bat it costs the farmers and manufacturers of Ohio, for instance, as much or more to trans port their products five hundred miles to mar Ret, as it does tbe farmers and man ufacturers of Texas or Oregou to send their products to the same market over distances three or four times as great. And we know of like instances all over the country. The railroad companies have tbe right to live and make fair profits from their business. If tbey do this it follows that of their income the shippers for short distances, in the cases supposed, nave paid rates unreasonably high, and the shippers for longer distan ces have paid rate unreasonably low. The farmers of Vermont, for instance, where the price of land and wages is high are by these methods compelled to contribute a part of their bard earned gains to the farmers of some distant part of the country, where land and wa ges are low, to help them make their products worth as much as if they had been grown or raised within three hun dred miles of Boston or New York. This cannot be justice. Nearness or distance from the place of sale or con- u iknuiin lu tut' pn. sumption are just as natural ana lin changeable relations as are those of the soil, climate, hkill or thrift. As well miryhr IhA f armor irhn aritri rrnfA lanrl and thorough and industrious cultiva tion, has raisnd a good crop,.be required to give a part of it to bis neighbor, who with poorer land. Indolence and infinite waeds, has raised only half as much. And this, of course, applies as well to all sorts of things produced as to those of the farm. The rrohibitionigts Satisfied. Tbe Prohibitionists do not think that they have been much defeated in the late contest, At lease they are not at all discouraged, and look upon tbe result with apparent satisfaction, One of the leaders remarked : "We increased our vote 150 per cent., acd 1 see no reason why we should not be well satisfied. Our great weakness lies in tbe fact that so far we have not been able to have workers at the polls. This is certainly a drawback, and W3 should at once set to work to remedy it. The Republicans have won, but I do not believe that tbey will live up to their pledges and submit a constitutional amendment. But. if they should happen to do so, tbe whole machinery of both the old parties will be put in motion to defeat it. It will then be the people against the machine, and we, the Prohibitionists will have to shoulder the work." A meeting of the ProLibitionista of Pittsburg was held on Monday at which there waa considerable enthusiasm shown for a party that didn't poll 40,000 votes in nearly a million. The speakers were chiefly preachers, among whom was Rev. W. R. Coovert, who said : I for one will not sign any petition which may be circulated asking tbe Legislature to give us a temperance amendment. The Republicans have made a promise ; now let them carry it out. I will not ask anything from a dirty Republican or Democrat. We are fighting for a prin ciple, and we will win. In the late election we did wonders, and that, too, in spite of the fact that we had Blaine, Ingersoll and the devil against us." Mr. Swoger then arose. "We do not care so much about the State," he re marked. "What we want is the Nation al Government. This we will get In 1892. and in 1893 we will submit a national amendment to the States," The committee proposes at once to begin a system of reorganization, so as to be ready with 100,000 votes in Penn sylvania in 1888.
