Tue recent reduction of wajes s 3
the New York Tint's in the mills of the
Clark Thread Company near Newark
and the strike caused by it recall
some incidents of the Presidential cams
pafgn. The manufacturers of spool
cotton thread are protected by a tariff
dnty of It cents per dozen spools of 200
yards each, which was equivalent in
the last fiscal year to an ad valorem
duty of 57 per cent. It was proposed
in the Mills bill that the duty should be
reduced to 40 per cent. Although by
their own admission the manufacturers
bad been in combination for some years
so far as prices were concerned, and
and had thus sought by preventing com
petition in prices to take all possible
advantage of a high rate of duty, this
rate remained unchanged In the Allison
bill. Senator Sherman had declared
that such combinations "may and ought
to be met by a reduction of duty," but
he conveniently forgot this when the
bill was prepared iu his committee.
About two weeks before the election
the thread manufacturers professed to
be greatly alarmed by the proposed
change of rate in the Mills bill, al
though Congress had adjourned and
everybody knew that the bill had not
become a law and could not become one
so long as the Ssnate should be controll
ed by the Republican party. On Octo
ber M there was posted in the factories
of the Clark Thread Company at Ne
wark a notice that until further orders
the mills would be closed all day on
Saturdays and after 4 o'clock on all
other working daya of the week. It is
said by the owners that this action bad
been caused by the Mills bill, although
it was not explained in what way the
bill could have had this effect. It was
also said that similar actios bad been
taken in the other thread factories that
bad been governed by "an understand
ing as to prices."
There was no indication that the con
sumption of thread had suddenly fallen
off, and an Impression prevailed among
the employees that the reduction of
time had been made for political effect.
The Chairman of the Democratic Com
mittee of Essex county asserted that
some of the employees had been threat
ened with loss of work if they should
vote the Democratic ticket. There ap
pears to have baen a desire that the
workmen should believe that they
would suffer loss of wages if the party
favoring a reduction of war tariff du
ties should win.
The party was defeated and the party
that made and supported the Allison
bill was successful, but this ha3 not pre
vailed a reduction of wages. It does
not appear that a reduction Is required
by the condition of the business. In
deed, tb.6 company admits that it makes
the reduction simply because the work
men affected hy it have been receiving
better wages than are paid to other
workmen of the same grade in another
city. The tariff has not been changed,
the combination by which a high price
for thread has been maintained has not
been broken, but the manufacturers
who were so solicitous for the welfare
of the work'.ngmen when their votes
were soon to be cast for or against the
high duties that afford ehelter for com
binations have not teen restraintd from
catting down their wages.
It must be obvious says the Tittsborg
Time, to intelligent observers that in
certa5n respects the IpuUlic bas out
grown the capacity of the original ma
chinery of the Government. For ex
ample, take the present mode of Cling
the offices. Every time there is a
chaiige in the party complexion of the
aominTstratlon a great and harassing
burden Is thrown upon the President.
As the population has increased the
burden has also increasead until It
has become an intolerable one. The
fl!llng of the ofSces under any circum
stances is a work the magnitude of
which was not contemplated by the
framers of the Republic. They did cot
preceive the possibility of its growth,
nor comprehend the immensity of the
pat rone ge that would be dispensed.
No adequate provision was made for
dispensing It, consequently the pres
sure on the President aud the Execu
tive Departments has become so great
that how to relieve it Is a practical
question to-day. The election of Post
masters by the people is proposed as a
measure of relief.
If l'ostmastcrs, why not United
States Marshals, District Attorneys and
other officers now appointed by the
President? To this there are objec
tions, some of which are not so easily
anwered. If filling these offices by
public choice is decided against, the
question is none the less pressing.
Would not a Commission appointed by
the President and charged with the
duty of filling all the offices, or different
Commissions, among which the offices
shall be divided, be an improvement on
the present plan? This or some other
way of relieving the President is be
coming a necessity, if it ia not so al
ready. Not to refer to the magnitude
of the power which the patronage places
in the hands of the Executive, the labor
of hearing and deciding on the claims
of applicants for the offices Is not com
patable with the dignity and the other
duties of the bead of the government.
It lowers the Presidential office ; it has
degenerated into an s-vil of enormous
magnitude. To provile a remedy is
work for statesmen.
Advices from Vienna state that the
Empress of Austria baa been attacked
by the Wittelsbach family malady,
namely. Insanity. She suffers from
long spells of melancholic and enter

is possessed with idasof suicide, think"
ing to laave the Emperor free to re

cushion or a pillow, thinking it a newborn-heir
to the throne. The Emperor
is greatly affct?d. He suffers from
insomnia and has no zest for work, !ak

TnK Secretary of War Las ordered
the live batteries of artillery stationed
at Fort Mellenry, in Baltimore, to pro
ceed to New York and participate in
the Centennial celebration there oa the
30 instant.
The Inauguration Centennial iu New lork
The 30th of April, 17S0, will remain
memorable as the initial date of the
American Union ; for on that day ail
the wheels of the new machinery of
goverment began to turn with the ins
auguratiou in New York of George
"Washington as President. It is the cen
tenary of that event which will then be
celebrated in the metropolis, and the en
thusiasm which is being manifested
over the prospective occasion, together
with the extensive character of the
preparations, indicate that it will be a
noteworthy episode in tbe history of the
Republic.
On Sapteciber 17. 17S7, the day on
which the new Constitution was agreed
to and signed, the Philadelphia Conven
tion sent a letter to the President of
Congress, in which he pointed out that
it was obviously impracticable to secure
all rights of independent sovereignty to
each State and yet provide for the safe
ty and interest of aM ; "and thus the
Constitution which we now present is
tbe result of a spirit of amity, and of
that mutual deference and concession
which the peculiarity of our political
situation rendered indispensable." This
Constitution, which was thus intended
to promote the lasting welfare of the
of the country, and secure to It peace
and happiness, went into effect in 17? 9.
On tbe first Wednesday of that year
electors were appointed in the various
States, who voted for a President on
the first Wednesday in February ; Con
gress assembled on March 4 ; on April
G the electoral votes were counted in
the presence of bth Houses, and on
April 30 President Washington was in
augurated. The official programme of tbe coming
centennial celebration has Involved iu
its preparation a vast amount of labor.
So many interests bad to be considered,
and so many applications for a share in
the commemoration poured in from all
parts of the country, that the task of
the committee was rendered extremely
difficult. Naturally the committee has
not escaped criticism ; and yet it would
seem as if its members had succeeded in
providing for a most Imposing display.
A naval and merchant marine parade ;
a parade of military organizations from
nearly every State In tbe Union ; an in
dustrial and civic parade ; open-air
concerts, orations, banquets and recep
tions, and the presence of the President
of the United States, make up a pro
gramme that will fitly represent the
marvelous growth and resources of tbe
con try and illustrate the patriotism of
the people.
To provide for an influx of strangers
such as may naturally be looked for will
be no light task ; but Philadelphia ac
complished it when tbe centennials of
the Declaration of independence and of
the adoption of the Constitution were
commemorated, and tbe citizens of
New York will doubtless show a spirit
ot self-sacrifice and try to convey an
impression of generosity and hospitali
ty. Tbe railroad companies throughout
tbe country have extended the time of
excursion tickets for visitors from May
S to May C. which will give the latter
five days after the close of the celebra
tion itself for the transaction of busi
ness or for pleasure. Doubtless many
people from this State will be among
the visitors.
It is worthy of note as a matter of
historv that, although New York rati
fied the Constitution and entered into
the new Union, Ehe did not choose
electors for the first President. But
Pennsylvania did, and she also contri
buted able men to the Cret Congress.
Anion? them were George Clymer,
Thoma3 Fitzsimmons, and Peter and
Frederick A. Muhlenbuig, the last
Darned the first Speaker ot the House,
while Robert Morris sat in the Senate.
It is fitting, therefore, that this Com
monwealth, having been the Bcene of
two national commemorations, should
take part in an event which was the
culmination of a long strujrjle and the
carrying into effect of a fundamental
law which has been declared to be "the
most wonderful work ever struck off at
a given time for the brain and purpose
of man." J'u'ta. Record.
Ciyil SerTlce and Party Prescription.
The new Secretary of the Interior
Mr. Noble, of Missouri has been ex
tensively quoted as having said in a re
cent interview that wherever be Qnds
"an inefficient Democrat" he will dis
pute that it is tbe right as well as the
duty of every Administration to re
move all Inefficient officials, whether
they be Democrats or Republicans.
But when the Secretary says he will
fill the places of incompetent Demo
crats solely with efficient Republicans,
this is neither "commou sense" nor in
accordance with the law. The Civil
Service law, which it is Scretary No
ble's sworn duty to enforce, knows
neither Democrats nor Republican io
filling a large proportion of the offices
in his department. He may remove
whomsoever he pleases upon the charge
of Incompetency ; but he will violate
the law whenever he shall fill the va
cancy thus ereated on party grounds.
Tbe law distinctly forbids him from
making any political discrimination
among those who have passed Vte civil
service examination and hold certifi
cates of fitness.
But doubtless Secretary Noble re
ferred to those officials ot the Interior
Department who are not within tbe
Civil Service law. In that case his
quoted remark was wholly irrelevant,
since there is no question of efficiency
or inefficiency io removing Democrats
from the higher positions in the Interior
Department which the civil service
rules do not cover. In making remov
als from these positions and filling
them with "efficient Republicans" the
only rule that the Secretary has yet
recognized ia that- "to tbe victors be
long the spoils." Why then, does he
seek to soften tbe brutality of the
spoils policy with a meaningless com
monplace 1Phila. Record.
The overhead wires and tbe poles which
have converted many of tbe chief streets of
New York Into a forest, danserous to hu
man life and contributing to the destruction
of property, began to disappear on Tuesday,
not because the proprietors thereof were
willing to obey lha law, but because Mayor
Grant sent a force of men to work to sever
the wires and cut down the Doles. The
appearance of these obstructions will be a
boonlto ew l ork, and It is probable that
the same course will be adopted la other
cities, thouch when the telephone and other
companies find It dangerous to defy public
sentiment they will doubtless voluntarily
arrange to put their wires under ground.
In every city of considerable 6iza the law
should prevent the erection of poles and the
stringing cf wires. New York has done
well In moving for their abolition and her
mayor Is to be congratulated upon his dis
rlay of pluck.

The Uirmirtsrliam Idea.
The white Republicans of Alabama
in organizirg a white man's Re pub'ican
party bav very distinctly stated the
room of the colored brother is better
than his company that no negroes need
apply for admission to the select corps
either as officers or high privates. This
goes a little further than ever before at
tempted by a political party North or
South. The veriest bourbons that ever
camped on the coat tails of progress
have been more than willing to get the
votes of the colored people, but thece
white Republicans organize with the
main purpose of excluding the negroes
from any participation in politics. It
is said President Harrison is in sym
pathy with the movement, and will
deal out the provender In order to make
It a success. At the Rirmingham meet
ing, on Wednesday of last week, a dele
gate who said he would not desert tbe
negro wa" fired out of the meeting In
short order. The negroes and "po'
whites" are worked up over these aris
tocratic oidos. and have also held a
meeting at Birmingham, drafted red
hot resolutions and appointed a com
mittee to carry them to Mr. Harrison.
"Let's ostracise the white Republicans
and go back on the party," was tbe s!o-
gan of some of the prominent negro
orators.
The Alabama Incident simpTy illus
trates a feeling that largely prevails in
this country among the ruling race, no
matter whether they call themselves
Republicans or Democrats, or live North
or South. This is a white man's gov
ernment and will be so maintained, not
to the oppression or wrong of the color
ed race but to their manifest advantage.
The white Republicans of the South
who are not engaged In operating the
negro vote for selfish purposes are as
fully committed to this policy as their
Democratic neighbors. The Pittsburgh
Gazette feigns a weak disapproval of the
Birmingham movement, but tbe fact is
Incontrovertable its party has excluded
tbe negroes from all positions of honor
or profit in this State. They are merely
regarded as so many head of "voting
cattle." Northern Republicans apply
the Birmingham idea, but sugarcoat it
with cant and bnmbug to keep the
"voting cattle" straight in line. The
Gazette says : ' Shutting out the color
ed voters is simply catering to a pre
judice that will do tbe Republican party
more barm than good." Well, the
Gazette and Its party in this city, county
and State have been doing nothing else
since tbe negro was enfranchised.
They "cater to the prejudice" by ab
sorbing "de perwislons."
The Philadelphia Rulletin. very radi
cal Republican, admits the Birmingham
movement is dead against the "ekal
rights" blather and humbug of ita par
ty, but comforts the negro with the
hope it may result in bis benefit by a
division of the whole vote nothing Is
said about a division of tbe colored
vote, which is in fact tbe key of the
situation. The Bulletin says : "The
promoters of the new anti-negro Re
publican party of Alabama it must be
said perhaps unconsciously have begun
a most auspicious movement looking
toward the solution of the vexed South
ern pioblem." The problem will never
be solved by holding the colored vote
solid and dividing the white vote. The
whites are not likelv to be divided by
that transparent device. They have
learned the lesson of unity io tta school
of necessity. Pittsburg Post.
The High .Moral Ideas.
The Party of High Moral Ideas has
indirectly found itself in a peculiar po
sition by the -death of Justice Stanley
Matthews of the Supreme Court. No
successor to this gentleman has yet put
in an appearance, though two men
stand forth so pie-eminent for high
character and attainments that there
should be but little trouble in selecting
one or the other ot them for this impor
taot post. We refer to Walter (. Gresh
am, Circuit Judge of the United States
for the Seventh Circuit (Indiana), an
able and upright man, and Judge
Thomas M. Cooley, Chairman of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. ex
Chief Justice of tbeS'ate of Michigan
and one of the ablest lawyers that
America has ever produced.
But alas! Judge Gresham was not a
B aine man. Judge Cooley voted for
Cleveland in lSbi. Both these men are
too conscientious, we greatly fear, to
get to the Supreme Bench under this
Administration. The man whose soul
revolted against the endless dishonest
ies of the Gentlemen from Maine can
certainly not expect too much from an
Administration whose Premier is this
same Greatest Living Statesman.
There would be something particu
larly appropriate in the appointment of
either of these men to the Supreme
Bench. Judge Gresham, whilst an able
and strong man, had encountered no
enmities previous to the late campaign
except on the part of Mr. Blaine. Ilia
prominence aa a candidate for the Re
publican nomination for the Presidency
was a tribute to the moral and intellect
ual worth of the mau himself. It is
said that this factbaa arrayed the Presi
dent himself against Gresham. though
it is but justice to say that auch petti
ness should not be charged
asralnst General Harrison without
due and convincing proor. As to Judge
Cooley. this paper has frequently spo
ken. It is suegested his appointment
to the vacancy caused by the death of
tbe late Chief Justice Waite, although
approving President Cleveland's choice
of the present incumbent. Melville
Weston Fuller. In America to-day
there is probably no better equipped
man for the Supreme Bench than Judge
Cooley. In either case, however, wheth
er tbe President should see fit to ap
point either Gresham or Cooley, be
would serve the country well and show
a spirit which would go a great way
towards establishing bis own reputation
on broad and solid foundations. I'kila.

An old Waphmgtonian says that the
game or picking or cracking Easter eggs le
Played In a novel manner by tbe youth,
black and white, of the Capital City. They
take the toughest and hardest shelled eggs
they can procure and repair with them to
the elope back of the White House. There
matches are made between the lads. wh
decide them by rolling the eggs down the
elope. Tbe boy wboae hen fruit survives
the down-hill journey without iu 6hell
cracking takes the more unlucky egg as bis
prize, that Is provided it is not wholly
wrecked on the trip, aa is frequently tbe
case. Tbe slope after Easter presents a
wonderful appearance. Pieces of egg sheila
make It look from a distance as If a light
anow bad fallen on It The scene wblle the
contests are In progress is highly diverting,
and It ia a wonder that no great artist has
deemed It worthy of transference to can
vass. Wblnkff Kills.
How orten are we ret to be told that
whiskey kills ? Arsenic kill ; opium kills,
and so do hundreds of other good remedies
kill If abused instead of used. But ask the
question. Will whiskey cure ?" "Yea I" la
the positive reply of tbe most eminent phy
aicianaof all the land. Disease steals Into
your system like a sneak thief Into your
house, and often by neglecting a bad cold,
we end our days in lingering, and wishing
for health when. Indeed, one bottle of Purs
Wltiskev or Brandy would have cured the
cold. Such goods may be scarce, but they
can he found at Max Kleins, 82 Federal

For Three
Weeks I was tuffering from a severe cold In
my head, accompanied by a pain in the
temples, 1 tried some of the many catarrh
remedies without any relief. Ely's Cream
Balm was recommended to me. After only
six applications of the Balm every trace of
my cold waa removed. Henry C. Clark, 1st
Division New York Appraiser's Office.
For several years I have been troubled
with catarrh. Ely'a Cream Balm has
proved to be the article desired. I believe
it.the only cure. L. B. Coburn, Merchant,

It ia put up in Sacks with the big mill on them, is a very strong,
rich Flour, Particularly adapted to Bread-making.
It is made out of the choicest amber wheat that prows.
Wc claim to have the best and most complete mill between Hu
risburg and Pittscurgh. We have a FULL line of rolls, a FULL line
of cleaning machinery, with Reels, Centrifugals, Flour Dresser?,
Purifiers, etc.
In manufacturing Isencurg's Fancy we draw the low gralo off
and run the patent in with the straight this gives color as well &
strength.
We do not guaranteo our Flour better than any in the irmkei,
nor warrant it to make more bread, but wo do guarantee that it is
equalled by few and excelled by none.
If you find, after a fair trial, it does not please you, report tow
and say from whom you bought it, and when. Wc will take p'eas
uie in making the purchase satisfactory. We want all friend;
we can't afford to have enemies.
Do not let your grocer put you off with something else until you
give Isexburg's Fancy Flour, with the big mill on tho sack, a fair
trial.
