lican bosses of Philadelphia, in a state
ment made to a correspondent of the
iThlladelphia Times, girts it as his opin
ion that the administration of President
Harrison will be another Hayes administration.

Governor Beaver hsued a procla
mation on Wednesdy making Tuesday,

cordance with President Harrison's

part that day as one of praise and
prayer for His gifts to us as a nation
and to commemorate the inauguration
of Washington.
The Turks are the only nation in the
world who are scrict prohibitionists,
the use of wine or strong liquor taing
forbidden by the Koran. But obeying
the universal craving for some stimu
lant they have taken to opium which is
far worse than liquor and are, in every
respect, socially and morally the most
degraded nation on the face of the
globe.
Tne Michigan Legislature has passed
a law in relation to capital punishment,
requiring in cases of conviction for
murder that eveiy juryman must sign a
written verdict recommending the
death penalty before it can be imposed,
and even then the trial Judge may ex
ercise discretion and make the sentence
life imprisonment. The execution may
be by hanging or by a shock of electricity.
Ex-Postmasteu A. G. Tt.kt.sos of
New York, died on Saturday last after
a prostrating illness. lie was a Repub
lican, but was reappointed by Prslder-t
Cleveland at the request of the business
men ot New York, on account of his
efficiency and thorough knowledge ot
the details of the office. President
Harrison removed him to make room
for a politician without any knowledge
of, or experience in the oflice.
Why do we not hear says the Xasb
ville American of a Northern question
in connection with the scoundrelism of
the Dudleys, Dacked and supported by
Ike Wanamakers and uays ? If the
intimtdatlon of a negro in a Louisiana
rarlsh raises a 'Southern question' for
partisan politicians i settle why does
r.ot the purchase of floaters In "blocks
of Ave" and tho debaucheries of every
hind pMCtiUtr to Northern politics raise
a northern question ?
TriE Prohibition amendment,
Massachusetts, was knocked eut. i .he
rst round en M md ky list by a n ori
ty of nearly 50,000. Thia sesm o be a
bad year for prohibition bj far j heard
from and it looka as If tho am endment
would come up groggv on the 18th of
June. The effort to make paorle moral
and upright by constitutional provision
and legal enactment. Is evidently loosing
favor and the drift of public sentimeot
seems to leave no doubt of the defeat of
the constitutional amendment in this
State.
The business failures, stagnation of
trade and reduction of workiogmen's
wages throughout the country says the
Harrisbarg Patriot are "confirmation
strong as proofs of IToly Writ" that
President Cleveland was right when in
his message to Congress in December.
1S37, he argued that a revenue policy
which wrung a hundred millions dol
lars In unnecessary taxes from the peo
ple year by year and locked them up as
dead and useltss surplus in the treasury
would inevitably and speedily lead to
financial depression and Industrial rntn.
It is now so plain that he who runs
may read that it is a "condition that
confronts us, not a theory." That con
dition is the immediate effect of the
revenue policy denounced by the late
President.
The many millions of unnecessary
taxes extorted by the federal govern
ment from the people during the last
decade and the useless surplus In the
treasury could not fail to oppress and
hamper every industry. The effect of
the high tariff, too, has been as it must
necessarily always be, to stimulate the
Investment of capital in the protected
industries with the certain result of the
establishment of many more plants
than the home market will justify and
the logical consequence of overproduc
tion and its natural concomitants, shut
downs, reduction of wages and labor
strikes. The high tariff having robbed
the people in tsxes the government
does not require, having filled the
treasury with an idle and unproductive
hoard, having stimulated capital to an
abnormal activity in certain lines of
production, and having thus brought
about the suspension of many manufac
tures, oppressed agriculture and de
pressed trade, la responsible for the
financial condition which now confronts
us. The theory of protection, pretty
as it Is to the greedy eyes of those who
would become suddenly rich, has proved
itself a delusion and a snare.
On Mooday last at 12. M., the Okla
homa lands were thrown op3n for set
tlement and the rush of the thousands
of people who were gathered on the
border commenced. Such was the ex
citement and rush that when the order
was given for the start one of the boom
ers was killed by his horse falling on
on bim, while another was killed by
a boomer eathnsiastically firing off a
shot gun. It is expected that a num
ber ot fights will take place in disputes
over the location of claims. The lands
now opened up for settlement are de
scribed as follows : By the tieaties of
August 11 and 1G, 1S)0 the Creeks
ceded to the United State the west
half of their domain, about 3.402, 42S.S5
acres, at 30 cents per acre, and the Sem
inoles their entire domain, and 2,037.
414.52 acres, at 13 cents per acre in
all 5,430,13,50 acres. Thess cessions,
as stated in these treaties, were in com
pliance with the desire of the govern
mentto locate on them other riiendly
Indians and freed men. The Springer
bill, which on February 1, 1SS J, passed
the House of Representatives for the
organization of Oklahoma Territory,
includes Oklahoma, "the Cherokee Out
let" and the so called "No Man's
Land," or "pnbllc Land Stripe," and
all that part of the Indian Territory not
actually occupied by the five civilized
tribes.
Mr. Springer, in bis report of Febru
t.ry 7, 1SS3, from the Committee on
Territories, describes its area as fol
lows : "The area in said Territory not
occupied by the Indian tribes, aud the
acreage thereof, is as follows : Chero
kee outlet, 6.022,244 acres ; public land
strip, 3.072,640 acres ; Oklahoma lands.
1,8.7.800 acres. Total, ll,GS2,r44
acres."
WnEN the practice of cremation was
introduced in New York a few years
ago its advocates believed that It would
loon supersede the custom of burial.
But it has not growu in favor as they
supposed it would grow. Tba subject
has just been brought under debate in
the Kings County Medical Society, and
cremation was strongly advocated by
some ot its memters ; but it is now evi
-dent that the popular feeling agains:
the practice is of a kind that caunot
be overcome in this generation. The
crematory is looked upon as a pagan
instttntlon, not to ts introduced Into
Christian countries.
This nearly 300 souls who were pa wen
era on the ilMated steamer Danmark
were all rescued, and on Monday the
steamer Missouri landed 303 of the
Denmark's passengers at Philadelphia,
having left 3C3 at St. Michaels, la the
Azores, The Danmark during a storm
on the 4th Inst., had met with an acci
dent by the breaking of a shaft which
killed the engineer In charge and the
broken shaft at every revolution tore
np great rents In the bold of the vessel
signals of distress were hoisted which
were sighted by the Missouri on the
morn In 7 of April 5th and that vessel
went to the rescue. After a consulta
tion between the officers, it wis decid
ed to tow the Danmark to St. John
Newfoundland, a distance of about 700
miles, but after a few hours it was
found that the Danmark was leaking
badly and that It would be impossible
to keep her afloat. The work ot trans
ferring the passenger was then began
and after six Lours the 734 passengers
vere plased on board the Missouri
without an accident. The Missouri
then started for St. Michaels in the
Azores where she landed on the 11th

rescued passengers started for Philadel

The Battle for Gerernor.
The Republican battle for the Guber
natorial nomination is fairly ou, and it
promise to be waged with tireless ener
gy for more than a twelve-month. The
nomination will not be made before
June. 1300. but alt the candidates seem
to be impressed with the belief that the
early bird is most likely to feed on the
Gubernatorial worm.
Shrewd political diplomacy has re
tired Senator Cooper, and that takes
out of the contes-.tte largest personal fol
lowing possessed by any of the candi
dates. Cooper has more strength that
is entirely his own than aoy other
man named, but personal following is
valueless these days without the assent
of the supreme leaders, and Cooper
lacked the majority that Senator Quay
is now able to give to a candidate. He
wisely retires like the venerable rat of
old into the Custom House cheese and
bids the others to look out for them
selves and be happy.
Senator Delamater is generally reck
oned to be the pickle ext the wind in
Quay's political jar. He is the epau
let ted and spurred party leader in the
Senate, with Chairman Andrews, his
own immediate lieutenant, sometimes
awkwardly but al wars boldly leading
the House, and when they snuff there
is a general party sneezing in their re
spective bodies. Certainly the pres
ent outlook at Harrisburg would indi
cate Delamater as the pre determined
candidate ; but there is a long summer
with its sweltering dog days ; a mellow
autumn, a hard winter and another
blooming spring to write their changing
histories before the nomination shall be
made, and who koows what may hap
pen 'twixt now and then.
There is now implicit obedience at
Harrisbarg and elsewhere because diso
bedience would be death in the race for
the spoils nnder the new administra
tion ; but the spoils will be gobbled np
t afore a Gubernatorial candidate is to
be nominated ; a doz:n or score of posi
tive enemies and one probable ingrate
will tre made for every office that is
filled, and what will the harvest be
when the pressure of fear shall ba re
moved and disappointments are piled
mountain high over successes ? Will
Delatstater's commaud be omnipotent
then as now ? Will Andrews ta able to
enforce obedience to orders as is now
an easy achievement ? Possibly they
will ; probably not.
There is a multitude of dangers to
any slated ticket in the quiet but self
poised and fearless Senator Keyburn.
He is not clad in frills nor is he special
ly ornate as a candidate, but he is solid,
has endless staying qualities and would
be a strong centre for an opposition
movement. If he shall become a can
didate for Governor it will mean busi
ness ; it will mean that either the slate
or mighty etrong breeching must te
broken, and he ould be in the ring
for a right to a finish. He might be
beaten ; they might gouge out his eyes
as was done with Sampson of old, bus
in hit fall the pillars of the machine
temple would be next to certain to go
down with him. And he might be nom
inated and what then.
Already there are whispers that the
opposition is so formidable that a new
man must ba taken, and General Sieg
fried, of Schuylkill, has been lubricated
and bolted out as a shadowy horse, but
there is a bad Mollie Maguire flavor
about bim that would be fatal to his
hopes. Montooth is also groomed as
in the shadows of the Gubernatorial
6table, but he has old scars from the
battles of faction which cripple hins.
but General Hastings comes up smiling
and hoists a lightning rod that could
hardly bo missed in a storm, ne is
able, jolly, generons, imposing !n
presence and one of our best stump
orators, and he is now the most likely of
the whole lot regardless of the confi
dent hopes of the early birds. True, he
comes from Beaver's own countv : but
what of that ? The Governor blons
to the whole State, regardless of locali
ty, and It would not lone him a vote at
the election.
Tbere will doubtless be a dozen new
candidates sprung nrsn the party durs
lag the next year, but most of them will
fall still-born and the fight In the end
will likely be between the men promin
ently named to-day. If so, the race
prcienta Delamater la the lead with
Reyburn a dangeron second and Hast
ings behind with odds In favor of bim
forging away ahead on the homes
stretch. Phila. Timtt.
And Still another Object Lessen.
The official report of the Iron and
steel production of the United Stales
for the year 1333 has in it some figures
of great interest. It shows in the erst
place that onr manufactures have a
capacity of production beyond the
wants of the borne market, and as they
exclude themselves from foreign mark
ets, this great business is In a depressed
condition, for its srreatest profit t in
innninor costlv plants to the extreme
limit of their productive power, and so
giving steady employsoent to a greater
number of mechanics.
Thus last vear the production of tel
rails fell off from 187 the enormous
amonnt of 790 1 98 tons. It was 2,354,
132 tons in 1337 and only 1 502.61 tons
In 18H. Of course this decrease re
sulted from the fa'llng off tn railroad
construct Jon, and oar having' no foreign
market to fall back on. The Souib
American countries would be glad to
exchange tbeir raw wool ard copper ore
for onr excess of steel rails, but our
customs taxes on raw malarial makes
this impracticable. Along the whole
line of iron and steel products (except
pig metal) there was a falling off in
production in 1388. Our mills were
not worked to tbeir full capacity, aod
labor suffered as well as capital. The
decrease in steel ingots from 1887 was
476.0C9 tons : rolled iron, 176.0CD. tons.
and of nails, 415.0CO kegs, or 41,500,Crj
pounds.
There was an increase in the produc
tion of pig iron In the whole country of
81,009 tons in 188S. bot as the increased
production of the Southern States was
203,000 tons this don't bring much com
fort. The gain of Alabama was 156,000
tons while Pennsylvania's product fell
off 05,400 tons from 1S37.
It is true railroad building may re
vive this year, but will hardly approach
the figures of 13S7. Our capacity for
production of iron and steel is increas
ing all the time. The demands of the
home market, so dependent on the vari
able extent of railroad building, do not
keep pace with the increased facilities
ot production. We have no foreign mar
ket for onr excess; ao not sack it; do not
want it say the high chiefs of protec
tion. As a result of the absence of such
a safety valve we are either on the
bounding billows of an inflated boom
or in the trough of the sea. Mexico,
the Argentine Republic, Chili and Bras
xil, are building railroads extensively,'
but they buy their rails and equipment
from England or Germany. Under
proper conditions of an equitable ex
change, the 1,500,000 tons ot iron and
steel products we turned out in 1887
and failed to produce in 1333- could
have been manufactured the last year
and found a profitable market in $outh
and Central America, Mexico and the
West Indies. It is true this would
have obviated the necessity of trusts or
combinations to limit production,
bardie wages and stiffen prices, but the
country at large would have been the
gainer.

One Hundred Tears from Sow.
The protected industries themselves
are the first to BufFor the evil effects of
th. tariff policy which is vaunted by its
sepporcers to be the prop and stay of
those Industries. The protective idea
appeals entirely to tho speculative and
avaricious instincts of man. The boun
ty it offers in the enhancement ot the
price of th protected product excites
the cupidity of the speculative capitalist
and he and all his kind rush into the
producticc of the tariffed commodity
until the end in the fierceness of their
comsstitlon with each other they bring
ruin to all. That the investors in the
protected Industries cannot recover
from the fatal halluclation that a high
tariff benefits them when practical ex
perience demonstrates to every reasona
ble persjn that it positively works to
their injury, is a sign of an inscrutable
mental obliquity. If recent industrial
events fall to dispel their illusion they
are simply slaves to pride of opinion.

Massachusetts voted on constitution
al Prohibition on Monday, and it was
defeated. There, as in Pennsylvania,
the amendment was a political trick,
originating in the councils of tbe Re
publican bosses, who proposed and then
defeated it. In New Hampshire it was
tbe aame. Rhode Island, after trying
constitutional Prohibition for three or
four yfatr, is feeling its way back to
license and regulation. The indica
tions are that tbe amendment will be
voted down in Pennsylvania by an
overwhelming majority. The New
England elections will have great influ
ence on tbe vote in this State. They
will induce many to put on their think-1
ing caps who were beading toward pro
hibition. propelled by a moral impulse.
Tbe question recurs, is it a justifiable-
or reasonable moral impulse? Is it not

way; without constitutional prohibi
tion it is just as possible to pass a pro

The amendment will confer no new

system ot license and regulation could
be substituted for it. The whole sub
