In tho Senate at Washington, on Tuesday among the memorials present ed was a ludicrous one by Senator Vest, signed by a number of dentists asking that a bounty of a dollar per tooth ex tracted te a'ljwed to American den tists, "'in order to encourage the immi gratlon of dentists from other parts of tbe world thereby making abetter mar ket for agricultural and o'.ber products of this country.'' It was laid ou tbe table. Retrfsextativk James N.

There is said to be due tbe S'ate from eight corporations about 5 300, 000. which would pay off tbe S at debt. These claims are based on tbe actual capital o. the companies on which they Lave neglected or declined to pay. The corporations and the amount of their alleged Indebtedness are : Delaware ad Hudson canal, 1977.000 ; Lehigh Valley railroad. $744,000 ; Delaware, Lackawanna aud Western rallmed, SM.000 ; Pennsylvania railroad, $1 1S5, 000 EM and Western Transportation, 3200,000 ; Philadelphia and Erie rail, road $419,000, and the Mutual Lire Insurance company, of Pnlladelphla, $300,000. 2foiwrrnsTAyDixo the tariff, which tbe managers of the g. o. p. allege la tbe only thing that keeps up the wage of the woiklugmeo remains at tbe top notch, notices were posted by the Pottstowo Iron Company on Monday, ordering a reduction in tbe podding de part m.-nt of twenty five cents a ton. making tbe price t.l. Ibe sane as was paid during the panic in 1S73. This reduction affects three hundred men It takes eff-ct IVtiairy 4 b, cue mcnth in advance of tt e ltitQiurMin of Pres ident Harrison. There is co'biog like rrotec lou to tbe mboufacturers who bJ h ft fried out of ib-ni prevljus to the election, and wU' wilt cow ptO- wi to fry ft ou: ol iteii exeerywe. Tub II. use of Reprt-sen it t-s Tues day says the Harrlsburg ratriA. passed the ameudmenl to the constitution pro hibiting tbe manufacture and sale of alcbolie, vinous and malt liquors aa a beverage within tb limits of the Com monwealth. Doubtless the Senate will also pass the amendment. So far as tbe action of the legislators is concerned The Republican managers bave made the matter a party 'measure. When it shall come before the people of tbe State for ratification they will bold off their band, hoping to cheat both the Proh bitionists and liquor dealers. Ia the evecit of Its rejection by tbe people they will say to tbe Prohibitionists : We did all we could for your bobby ; we submitted it to the people ; but tbe Democrats and a small portion of our patty whom we could not control de feated It at the polls. Yiu see we are IcnoceDt of the murder." Should it be adopted tbey will claim from tbe Pro hibitionists their pp:ause and support on the ground that tbey made it a party measnre and at tbe scaie time tbey will say to tbe liqucr men: "See I tbe Democrats failed you In vour time of need. If tbey bad stood by you the Ile pnblican votes we gave you would bave saved ycu. But the feat of carrying b!sky on one shoulder and water on the other so often performed by tbe Re publican managers ic this S'ate will hardly be successfully executed at tbe special election for tbe adoption or re jection of tbe prohibitory amendment. There are too many rough p'aces in the road over which the load Is to be car ried. The prohibitory amendment havitg been made a party measure in the legist lature by tbe Republican managers must be regarded aa a Republican par ty measure at the special election. While many Democrats will no vote agains it on that account and while some Democrats will vote for it because their party bas been betrayed time and again at the polls by the R-puhliean managers of the L'quor League, many Democrata will casta negative ballot because they are opposed to sumptua ry laws and because tbe experience of the people of States in wbicb Prohibi tlon prevails bas demonstrated that while drunkonoess Is quite as prevalent in those S ates as in others which bave a system of license tbe sanction of law in general bas been greatly weakened by tbe open violation and drfitnee of the prohibitory statute. Again there are both Democtats aud Republicans who will oppose the amendment becaufe Its effr-ct will be to destroy property to the value of many millions of dollars and will affect taxation and the reve- yenues to the serious injury of tax payers in general. But tbe apparent morality of ibe matter is on tbe side of the Prohibl'lonists and thousands of well meanirg persons will aupjort tbe amendment because tbey imagine that its adoption will be la the interest of good morals. From a political point of view It would appear that as tbe Republicans have undertaken Co boss this prohibito ry Job they may as well be permitted to have the whole buainesa to themselves. Tbey would no doaot be glad to bave tbe Democrats pull their chestnuts out uf the fire for tbetn at tbe special elec tion, but tbey may as well understand first as last that tbey cannot calculate opon anything of that sort. They will be held responsible for tbe fate of tbeir measure whatev. r that may be. M-n who are Democrats from prltcip'e will will vote according to their principles whether tbe Republican chestnuts burn or not. The attitude of Senator Oiay on the Tar.ff bill sys th- Philadelphia Herald was Indicated by his recent vote on tbe question f bounties to growers of sugar beets. Tbat is to say the Chairman of the Republican National Committee separa'ed trom bis party on tbe ques tion and voted with tbe Democrats. Most Republicans will be surprised at this and some will be amafd. But as a matter of fact there is no substantial reason for either surprise or amaze ment. It is an open secret tbat Senator Q lay was opposed to any Senatorial ac lion on the. tariff question during tbe last session. Tbe platform adopted ny the Chicago Convention pledged the party to "he preserva Ion of the protec tive system in toto, and upon that pledge Cnairman Quay put the manu faeiurers ou the frying pan and roasted the fat out of them. The fact tbat tbe S'tiate bad under consideration a Tariff bill made bis wcrk more difficult thao it would otherwise bave been, but nevertheless be succeeded by assur ances tbat tbe Senate Tariff bill was only a Pickwickian matter after all. But S-nators Allison and Sherman are nn record as in favor of revision of tbe tariff and Quay's pledges to the manufacturers eoufl ct with tbeir prom ises to the people. Tbe natural result is a separation on tbe vote. It remains to be seen which Interest will be pro tected. If Quay can bring bis col league. Senator Ctmeroo. into line with him tbe problem is solved in favor of tbe manufacturers. O berwise tbe Senate bill will pass tbat body and tbe pledge by which Qtiay obtained tbe boodle will be fractured. It Is an In teresting ques'ion. It is not very ceditable to tbe lead ing Repul'ean organs of the country says tbe Provideute (R. I.) Journal that they are silent on so important a question ss the proposed t s:ab!i8hmtnt of the bounty system In the Ut-lted S ats on a great seat. It is evident tbat tbey do not approve It or tbey would say so. and yet because It bas been adopted by the party leaders in the Senate under pressure from the Sen atois from California and Knss, whose votes are necessary for the pass age or the T;rff bill, they aiifl their convictions and allow cot only the in dustrial ays'em of tbe couctiy to be viialty changed, but tbeir own party to take a tremendous rUk beciuse ;bey have not tbe courage and independence to apeak out. It Is a pitiable exhibU Hon of tbe weakness of organic joui nalism. The pr J'fiors of the S -o b Pean Railroad, are making aa tffurt to get it 04 its fees ariia. ' Bonntles and 1 axes. Tbe sugar-growers of tbe country can't compete with the sugar-growers ct France, Germany aud Spain. To encourage the sugar Industry, tbe peo ple py tariff duties amounting to over JoO 000.000 annually. It is now pro poned oy (be Senate to reduce the lariff tax on sugar and pay a government bounty of one cent a pound to all sugar growers. Toe wheat-growers of all the older S'-ts-s can't compete with the free and Cjon fertile lands of tbe far West, and farms In Pennsylvania are now gener allv profitless. If boon ties should be paid to sugar farmers wby not to wheat, corn and oats farmers ? If tbe government is to become paternal and make every business profitable, regard Iras of tbe swift change of tbe age, wby not give bounties to the farmers of Pennsylvania. Ohio and Indiana ? - A few not fifty to all propoee to Conres that tin now taxed 33 percent, shall be taxed 70 per cent, to enable a few dozen capitalists to make large pro fits ty us mannfadure. Tin ia used In every borne of the land. It is on tbe poor man's roof, in his kitchen. In ;hia dinner pail, and is used in tbe millions of cans which small fat mere most bave to can their fruits and vegetables ; and tbe proposition is eitnp'v To tax tbe whole country some 515 000 000 a year to enable a 'ew capltal.sts to beeome millionaires and monopolists. If tbe government is owned and is to be run solely In tbe interest of cent ra il Z"d money, why not pay tbe $15,000.- 000 as bounty direct to tbe tin combine Instead of taxing the poorer people of the land ? If tbe many ara ti be mere tax sit jects for tbe benefit of the few, let the law tell tbe truth on its face, aud provide that tbe government will capi talist and pay bounties to tbe manufac turers of tin I It was assurred by tbe few who profit by monopoly taxes imposed upon the people, that tariff and tax discus sion was ended by tbe late election ; but the victors are now discussing it In the Senate and tbe cloven foot sends a shiver among the people as particular industries are se'ected to be tbe recipi ent of direct government bounties. Let the discussion go on in tbe Senate. It will go on with tbe people until there snail be a return to bonest protection to tbe wages of labor and needless taxes are taken from the necessaries of life. rtiila. Tinus. X rroposed Sew Test for Immigrants. The new Immigration bill reported to Congress proposes to exclude as danger ous all "Anarchists" and "social iats." This is doubtless very well meant, but it would be interesting to learn by what species of inquisition immigration agents at borne or abroad could discover what sort of contraband ideas a man might carry under bis Lat. It is quite tree that most men bo honestlv entartain opinions in regard to govermenl and society, however wanting in orthodoxy, are generally too honest to deny them. But to set tip a Government censorship over immi grants and to deny them tbe privilege of landing on these shores because of a ma abstract doctrines of government and policy they might smuggle in with them smacks of intolerance and pro scription. In the same spirit Louis XIV and the widow of Sarron banish ed the Huguenots froai France ; not so much from hatred of tbeir heretical opinions, as in tbe belief tbat people holding these opinions could Lot be true eu j-ct of the realm. Moyam-to might be an Anarchist in Russia when goaded to madness by imperial despo ism, or a socialist in G-rmany when contemplating its semi military, semi socialisiic system of gov eiiiDQet.t. Yet the id)i man, upon bis settlement in tbe United States, would be likely to fce converted into a good eUirn under the It floence of free Ins'i tutiona. Apart from the impracticabil ity of the attempt to exercise an trqui sition over abstract opiuions. tbe scare crow of anarchy" should never fright en tbe people of this great oun rv into a covardly abandonment of tbe liberal principles upon which their Government ts founded. rhila.Iiecoid. The Samoaa Difficulty. It looks to-day as though Germany (which means Bismarck) had gotten be yond tbe Oounda uf good sense, justice and international comi y in ber endeav or to build up a colonial empire and was likely to get into serious trouble over it. I is said in to day's dispatches that Lord Salisbury. British Prime Minister, has assured this government uf Eng land's support on the ground of protest againat Germany's unwarranted action. Tie United S ates, of course, can make no show of great force with ships built of wood, sailing twelve miles per hour and armed with old mczzle loading gans buiit years ago ; bui. the effect of immediate action is likely to be good Few individuals or oa ions care to an tagonize an opponent who makes a de term'uei a and, even though of less force, and Germany Is no exception to the rule. Of course, no war is likely to result. Tbe days are gone when nations lightly assume that dread responsibility ; but tbe United Sta'es and England are nevertheless perfectly right in defend ing tbe treaty by which they, with Ger many, assumed to guarantee the au tonomy of the Samoan Islands, even though the act be warlike in its nature-. SUII, one cannot be censured for asking tbe question. "Why did the United States take part in these en tang, ling Questions in the first place ?" A Bounty for Sugar. Now that the election Is over and there is do immediate need of bambooz ling tbe voters a R -publican leader admits that tbe tariff is a tax. Senator Allison. In the debate on the augar bounty, declared tbat tbe pro posed reduction or one hair in tbe doty 'woud save 522.000,000 to the consu mers of sugar In this country, even af ter the proposed bouo'y was paid." It ia well to record tbe confession that the tariff is a tax and that the consumer pavs it. In regard to tbe proposed bounty of one cent a poucd to the manufacturers o domestic sugar there will, of course be no disputing that this would be a fax also. Every other producer or worker in the country would be taxed to pay a bounty of Jl pr 100 pounds to tbe man ufacturers of sugar. Acd abo wou'd profit by this ? The cane-growera, , the sorghum and beet raisers ? Not s bit of it ! The boooty would simpiv be a bonus to Trusts. The present Sugar Trua s fixes tbe price of raw material. The same or a new Trust would monopolize the business of t refining ibe produos of tbe canestalks or beets and fix arbitrarily ibe price which should be paid to tbe farmers. The Trust would add the bouuty to its own profits thus robbing ibe people with two bands instead of one. The monopoly-protecting Senate is a schoolmaster in the campaign of educa tion. X.

The details ot the events at Samoa wbicb followed tbe attempt of tbe Germans to land their forces, and tbe defeat of tbeir troops, described at length in tbe Associated press correspondence from Apia, telegraphed last night, are sup pletsented by other correspondents, whose account a are published here. The Samoan Times, published at Apia, and which has Oreo impartial in its account of the events on tbe island, gives the following version of tbe fight of Decem ber 18 : "At 2 o'clock on tbe morning of Tuesday, elgbtv sailors from tbe O'ga were landed et Mataafa and forty more were seul :n boats along tbe coast. tbe eighty men marching on land to meet Ma'aafa. At a German farmer's plantation tbe shore party were re inforced by all tbe imported laborers, said to be New Britain men. so tbat Matafa was between the two hundred men who came down tbe day before and the German sailors and foreign labor ers. Mataafa knowing tbe danger of interference with tbe German soldiers retired inland a few hundred yards. Tbe Germans followed up, aod fired into Mataafa's people kil ing a young man, son or tbe chief. The chief get ting terribly excited, was only prevent ed by bis own people from firing into tbe Germans, but while struggling agaiost former efforts be himself was abet and fell dead beside bis sod. "Ma'aafa's people could not stand this, and by common impulse, without orders, returned fire. Tbeir first volley killed six Germans and wounded others. Several of Tacaaseae's men fl-d and tbe laborers refused to tight it out, know ing that this ment certain death against vast odds. The sailors beat a hasty retreat to tbeir boats. Mataafa's warriors following them some distance. Mataafa lost about 10 killed aod wounded, while the German loss is stated at 20 killled. Among tbe dead is Lieu'enant Sieger. The Unied States steamer Nipsic steamed to Sal o afala on Tuesday on hearing that Ger man warships were going to shell Ma taafa's stronghold. Captain Mnllan bad communications with th- German commanders and entered bis protest against their reported project. II S piotest was not taken notice of. bow ever, for O'ga threw shells into tbe spot where Mataafa was supposed to be, but which be bad vacated." Tbe Germans brought upon them selves the fate tbat overtook tbem. as it was not until two of Mataafa's chiefs were killed that be ordered bis men to fire on tbe Germans. After their de feat the Germans bombarded tbe village of Maafagatele. although warned by tbe American Cousul. B'xckloek. that three bouses in the place belonged to an American citizen. Over these bouaes an American fltg floated, yet tbe flag was torn down and partially burned by tbe German sailors who landed to com plete tbe destruction of tbe place. The Xeedle Woman's Tax. The bountv Senate still kaeps on in favor of tbe Classes. It refused to re duce tbe tariff on thread but reduced th tariff on pearls from 25 per cent to 10 oer cent. The cotton thread trust consisting of the Clarks and Coats is teoteced in the monopoly bv a duty of 53. S2 per cent, on their thread. T'.ey sell tbeir 200 yard spools here at 55 cents a doz'o less 2 per cent for cash, aod at the end of the yeae they give a bonus of 9 percent, which makes tbe price to the retail merchant 43 cents per dozep. which dozo be retails for 60 cents, or 5 cents a spool. Over in Ctnada Ibis same t read is sold to retail merchants at 27 J cents a drzn aod r-tailed at 2 for 5 cents. In other words at tbe rooa favorable terms our merchants pay 19 cents a dozn more for a dozec spools of Clarks spool cotton tban ibe Canadi ac merchant pays ; and the farmer's wife pays 10 cen'a for two spools of thread that the Canadian house-wife gets tor five cents. But in tbe eye of the United S'ates S'ne.te this is protec tion io the American people. Who does not renember the time tbat two blocks of matches cost five cents. E-ich 100 had a one cent revenue stamp on them. Two of the five cents paid were a tax 3 cnts were for the matches. Te tx was removed, now you can buy 900 matches any place for a nickel and many places 200 are sold for a penny. Clarks spool cotton does doc bear a stamp as the block of matches did, but the tax is there with this difference, the match tax went to tbe government, the thread tax goes into the pocke'a of the Spool Cotton Combination. Ilre is one ins'anca where the tariff shows itself a direct tax ou the consumer of goods produced In this eoun'ry. In Canada 2 epoo's 5 eens. In Pennsyl vania, 2 spools 10 cents. Tariff, tax. bounty paid to the Thread Trn-t on two spools of thread 5 cents. Who can fall to understand that. In this ease it looks as if the tariff were a tax. The Amendment Xndtle. Tha facts pointed out !n the Post moot bs ago. that with the alop'ion or tbe prohibition amendment the S ate wil! only reach the initial stag-s of tbe prohibition crusade are jost commenc ing to dawn on S3m of our esteemed contemporaries. Tbe amendment is not self-enforcing, and will require a code of laws of a kind happily unknown to the people of Pennfcvlvania. but fa rniliar to the people of Maine. Vermont, Kansas and Iowa, to give it anv practi cal effect. Otherwise it will 'bave no more force as a prohibitory minora than tbe famous bill against tbe comet. To pass such a code an extra session of the legislature will be necessary. This Is precisely where the shoe pinches tbe Republican politicians. It. is easy to favor submission or prohibition as a sentimental theory, but whan it comes to frame the stringent and arbitrary laws necessary to make il a reality we only stand at the threshold of the weighty problem. Tbe trouble will thet commence. Should no laws to en force the amendment be passed before May. 1800. when license are issued un der tbe Brooks law. that will cease to he operative, because it would be Id open conflict with the amendment, which sternly prohibits, without reservation or exception. the manufacture or pale- or keeping for sale" of intoxicants. i ne legislature is granted the power to provide for the sale of liquor "for other purposes than as a beverage." and la re quired to an so, as we) as to enforce the general prohibition at its first aes siou arier me soopMnn of the amend men. In the absence of each laws, devising radical met h -ds. the practical result, will he that the Brooks law will lapee as unconstitutional, and the sale of liquor will be free and on res rained jnsi as it was In Ohio for years. nn-Vr eoroewnat similar conditions.
