that the rtvtnuea of the St.ite are iu
sufiicieDt to meet tlie appropriations
made by the recent Legislature. Of
course he omits to mention that the
trick by which he ki!Iel the Ilevenne
bill two jears ngo is mainly responsible
for this fact.
The administration of Harrison is In
a comatose state and it is very difliculc
to say whethpr the thicz wi.l Jive or
not. Democrats are looking on, half in
pity ha!f in scorn ; whilst leading He

The Harrison dynasty is deed.
II cston, who managed the blocks-.

from Dudley, threatens to resign from
the treasury if not allowed to distri
bute the Indiana pation:ge. This
Tvould hardly be so baa as the explosion
of Dudley's dynamite, but the latter
would probably take the rescued po
sition. Governor Leaver goes pesins
around the State as a great church and
temperance man but his course is not
calculated to do much good for either.
Tho Executive who sicna every notor
ious Legislative job before passing upon
necessary orrropriatioDs is not calcu
lated to Gil the honest American with
any great amount of respect.
The tate of New York has pur
cha?ed three electrical r?achines at the

Ave times as miry us will bo required

Governor Ueavek, says the Ilarris
burg I'tritt has signed the bill provid
ing for the creation cf a commission to
manage the soldiers' orphans' schools
of the State. It Is hoped that the com
mission will sea to It that tbe money
appropriated for the conlinuecce of
thesa institutions Is used for the benefit
of the children. At the next session of
tbe Legislature, so doult, rceasutes
will be taken to close the school?.
At the ou'sot, Sij3 the I'ai'.aJflijhia
J.Von?, the protective idea of taxing
productive industiy in or.Ier to sus
tain weik'.irg un-J.'rtakiag3 was broach
ed with up il.ijiits, and on'y advocated
as a temporary expedient. The power
to take the money out of one mns
rocket to put it In the pocket of another
m in was conceded to be an indefensi
ble stretch of authority. It U one of
tin most mourcfu! proofs of the deca
dence, of public morality that a policy
begun in weakness shou'd have been
allowed to harden into a systemVlc
scheme cf rapine, an i shou'd be de
fen'If d as a tuitter of principle.
The rlht or the O ivernmen: to col
lect tsxes for revpnue has been twis'.rd
into a riht to impose taxs as a bounty
to favorites. (Jreat monopolies have
hern built up out of the proceeds of
confiscation effected in the name of
"protection. ' and there are pious and
well-meaning people who deem it a
kind or profanity to call thii STt of
thing in quastion. They find it did
cult to distinguish between the Gov
ernment itself and the artificial crea
tures which Lave bpen exalted by the
Government into an apparent supremacy.
Xotm'itiistanpixo the fact that the
e. o. p. is In power and the tinkering at
the tariff has cased, the wages of the
workingmen are bein? reduced in every
tariff protected industry. Ever since
the election of Harrison, wages have
been on the dogcending scale. The
claim made by th9 tariff baroua last
Fall bef ira the election, that the wages
paid in this country were far aoove the
wags paid in Europ. s?ems to have
been only msd for e'e tloaeerinsr pur
poses. Although on their piy envel
opes the wotkin:mrn were told that
their wages would be reduced to a level
wit'i the pauper labor of Europe if
Cleveland wt re elected, it now appears
that the American iron worker is no
getting as good wages as are paid in
England. The Pittsburg Lwjor Trih
unt, in an editorial on the wnge ques
tion, says :
"There was pot much difference In the
waes per ton of raiis between Knelisti and
American mills In 1887, when business was
l'oik! in America and poor in England.
Now that waues have advanced abroad and
been reduced at borne, it is doubtful wheth
er there is any difference existing , yet
there Is the starter for another reduction
at homo, while Knglinh wa?es are appar
ently still on the up crade."
Illinois is the first State to adopt a
!iw forbi.ldiDtr the employment of those
who are not American citizens or have
not declared their intention to become
such on State or municipal works. It
mkes it the duty of municipal offieeis
and contractors to spb that those they
hire ate citizens or have takea out their
first papers. If complaint is made to
them that any one under them iui
properly employed it is made their duty
to investigate, and if the complaint is
well foundt-d to discharge the man. If
a contractor allows aliens to work know
ingly the wpgeg whlcti may have been
piid them are deducted from whatever
is d je him on his contract. This is a
queer law, and the chances are li'tle at
tention will be paid to it. At anv rate,
declaration of intention is a Tery simple,
cheap and easy process.

Three wealthy American ladies
traveling in France, Mr?. A. L. Dorr
and h?r two aieces. Miss FanDy Van
Xostrand and Miss Xannie Marvin,
were recently arrested at Mentcne,
throwD in a damp cell In jail for two
hours and otherwise greatly humiliated
ly tho French police. The young
ladies had ordered new dresses of a
Me ntono dre33ac.tker, and thv not be
ing delivered when bargained for, re
fused to pay for them. They were only
released on paying for the dresses. The
facts in the case will be laid before Sec
retary Elaine.
American exhibits occupy more
than one-third of me space in the great
machinery building at the French Ex
position. When the history of nine
teenthscenturv invention shall have
been written a still larger porlion of the
world wili then see how great has been
the contribution of American ingenuity
to the cause of science and materia!
progress. If our industrial legislation
had only kept equal pace with the spirit
cf invention, how much more we would
have added to our growth and re
sources. The wretched civil war In Haytl is
still going on, with a little fighting and
a great deal of lawlessness, violence,
rapine, and general distress. It is
tendiog powerfully to reduce the whole
country to barbarism and must greatly
lessen the productiveness and resources
of a naturally rich and fertile island.
Probably no legion of equal vegetable
and mineral wealth and advantage of

cursed by human folly atd avarice in

as vaytng nomiiiations by popular vote
and the Australian system ot voting
open up too many avenues for fraud.
This is veiy SiartliDg infomation. Tbe

And thereby bna a story. Oa tlie
2t".hof JIrcb, 1S-h Eerjimin Harri
son, then Ui itea S ales Senator from
luihana, delivered in the Senate a long
epeech, arraitigicg G rover Cleveland
for breach of hia pledges in tbe matter
of civil service reform. One of tbe
chief counts in this indictment was
what General Harrison called "the sto
r? of Mr. I U Hunt." Lis telling of
which occupies the greater part of one
of the Urjte pages of the Conqressvnal
ll't'oril, vol. xvii., part 3, pag 27i4.
Hh described the atory as "infinitely
fu l of pithos and ir.dignation." He
prorer-dd to describe the military career
of Mj-rl)s la Hunt, of the Twenty
s x'.h Icdiaca Volunteers, who was
brought down by a wound entirely
through the body, at Frarie Grove, in
Arkansas, and after recovering from
this desperate wound, rr joined his com
mand and receieved a bullet through
M arm. Said Senator Harrison :
Disabled by these two wounds received
in tils country's service, be was compelled
to leave the army and return to Perry coun
ty, Ind. But so sapped by the wounds
whirr, be bad received that it was cot lone
until a sorrowing widow and one ouly child
followed the remains of as brave a soldier
as ever went out from Indiana to bis last
resting place In tbe grave.
Major De la Hunt. Senator Harrison
further explained, left his widow with
small me;ns, and she entered upon the
work of maintaining herself and ber
boy. Her old father was postmaster at
Cmnelton, and she became bis depu'y.
ia which capacity General Harrison
testified that she was "most efficient."
Shortly before tbe expiration of Presi
dent Arthur's term, said General Har
rison, I ibella D? la Hunt, the widow,
was appointed, on my request, by Gen
Genera! Hatton. then Postmaster Gen
era', to this little postoffice." Contin
uing Genera! Harrisoo said :
If there was In all this country one person
who by reason of ber sex, who by reason of
her widowhood, who by reason of the sacri
fice she made in giving tbe arm on which
she leaned to li?r country's service, was en
titled to be kept in office, was entitled to
have Ler reputation guarded jealously and
by all men who represented tbe government,
it was Isabella Do la Hunt.
Nevertheless, the Cleveland adminis
tration, according to Sanator Harrison,
removed Mrs. Da U Hunt on tha charge
of "offensive partisanship," and are.
pointed an active Democrat in her
p'ace
The Cleveland administration having
gone ont. and General Harrison haviug
become President, Mrs. Da la Hunt aps
plied for restoration to her old position
as postmaster. There was no doubt as
to ber fitness. The present President
pnblicly testified throe yeary ago to the
fact that she had been "most efficient."
There was no doubt as to local senti
ment demanding the restoration of this
most efficient and worthy person to ber
old office. She presented a petition
more numerously signed than that of
any other applicant, and represented an
overwhelming majority of the patrons
of the office.
Of course, Mrs. Dela Hunt was re ap
pointed to her old posh ion as soon as
her old champion, Ienjamin Harrison,
became Presidnt ? On the contrary,
the office has been given to John Zim
roerm-tn, who has been chairman of the
It-publican Count? Committee, and
whose oclv claim to the place is party
service. That is the story of the Cac
nelton postoffice. 1'it'sburi. Po,t.
.Mr. Carnegie's Men "Accept."
According to a Pittsburg speciil to
the Philadelphia "IVrss," the great
s'rike fxpectid at the Mills of Carnegie
1'U'Pps iV Co., at Hunientead. in this
Stale, is not likely to materialize, a
lUOO of the ?5o0 workmen employed
there Lave already signified their in
tention of "accepting" the general re
duction of about 20 per cent., which
w is aunouueed about a week ago, and
which w ill go into effect Joiy 1.
It .s well to note the ful! meaning of
this fe Thesa works are manned by
oue of tti- strongest, trades unions in the
world, the gr-at Amalgamated Associ
ation of lion and Steel Workers. The
employ. -s ai Homestead feel so much
iuciined to "accept" the reduction that
ttey Lave done so in advance of the
comirg June meeting of tbe Associa
tion, w hich ill fix the scale for the
next three years. All appearances
would seem to point that tbe "accept
ance" was a matter somewhat resemb
ling that cf the gentlemanly footpad
who "accepts" the purse of the traveler
with one hand wbisl holding a cocked
revolver at hia head with tbe other.
Andrew Carnegie, single handed and
alone, it would appear, is snore power
ful than Lis thousands of workmen,
aided by one of the greatest of trades
ucions. In fact, this gentleman has
done more to knock out the "Protec
tionist" sham than anybody we know
of. The war tariff "enables" him to
pay hieh wages, hi would doubtless say.
if cornered in an argument ; but he
has never yet explained why it is that
he reduces wages just as often as he
sees ri despite the fact that the "en
abling" tariff has remained substanti
ally untouched (except when indirectly
increased) for thj last twenty-five
years. Doubtless when he writes a
work on "Triumphant Plutocracy" (a
sort of sequel to bis "Triumphant De
mocracy," of course) be will take par
ticular pains to explain this point.

Know Russell Too Well.
The Democratic victory in Montana
last week hss elicited a bitter letter to
President Harrison from Mr. Iticbard
F. Negley. an old Moncana mountain
eer and a Republican or 33 years' stand
ing. In this letter, which was deliver
ed at tbe White House in person on
Monday, Mi. Xegly says :
Permit me to inform you, sir, that
on tbe 4th of last March Montana was
reliably Republican, and would be re
liably Republican still It your son Ross
sell had broken his neck or died a re
spectable natural death soon after yonr
inanguration as President. It was the
impertinent intermediing of yonr son
in Montana politics that assured the
Democrats control of our constitutional
convention. It was bis bartering of
Federal offices in Montana, some of
them for private gain, others for pri
vate pique, that will prevent tbe Repub
licans sending a member of tbe House
cf Representatives and two Senators to
Washington next December.
Then follows much more of tbe same
sort. Prince Hussell is directly accused
of trading a Fe leral office for a print
ing contract. Closing Mr. .Negley
says : "we occasionally hear news from
the east ihat there is some expectation
or Russell li. Harrison being chosen to
represent Montana in the United States
Sf nate. It you entertain any such idea,
Mr. Piesident. please abandon It and
save yourself from disappointment.

tirover Cleveland.
The dinner given to Orover Cleve
land last evening bv the Yonng Men'a
Democratic Club of New York has at
tracted much attention in political
circles, and it Las been discussed in
advance as a portentous movement with
1S02 as tbe objective point. Such dis
tinction to a President with vt patron
age at his command, or to a President
tial candida'e on the eve of a contest
for the party nomination, wou'd be
well understood ; but this hospitality
is exrendeJ to Grovtr Cleveland, a de
feated President, without prestige and
cartainly without special party power
unless it be In the enduring trust and
rtavotioo of the masses of tbe people.
It is not pretended that tbe politi
cians of the Democratic narty, as a
role, are plotting to make Mr. Cleveland
a Presidential candidate in 1?92. On
the contrary, a large majori'v of them
cherish Impticable hatreds against blm.
It is those who most ha'e Mr. Cleveland
wh most fear a Cleveland revfval in
lRt2. and tbey are tireless In fretting
over his possible candidacy. Thev rns
to the front every week to proclaim him
as dead beyond the hope of resurrection,
and ill conceal their constant and ago
nizing apprehension that he will sud
denly rise np from the tomb to which
they have consigned him and swao th
party field again as he did in 13S4 and
1SS3.
Pray, why is Grover Cleveland hos
feared by those who rate him ? He is
not a political manager. H could not
enter tbe field against tbe skilled lead
ers who prefer another and have the
remotest chance for success if the op
posing factions stood on equal grounds ;
bnt with most of f b active and manag
Ing forces of the Democracy against
him the elemnts which revel in
power and plunder there is corstant
fear that he will be made the candi
date again in 192 And why are these
fears cherished ? Is it not becaose the
leaders see that wbi'e they distrnst
Cleveland because he is not politician
enough to obey the commands of spoi's
men, the peop'e trust and love him be
cause of his matchless courage and in
flexible honesty ?
It is needless o discuss Grover Cleve
land now as a Presidential possibility In
1S92. Whether be wou'd r an availa
ble candidate, depends wholly upon
events and cirenmstane s to rranoolre.
President Harrison may make Cleve
land an iropossiole card'dat ; President
Harrison may make Cleveland an Invin
cible candidate. If there shall tie a re
duction cf taxation nnder Harrison o
the s'andard or below the Mills bill,
preserving the policy of just protection
tn the wars of labor, the issue that
alone could make Cleveland a strong
candidate wonM belong to the oast ; bnt
if oppreive taxation of the neevsarlea
of life with profligate expenditures and
protection only to monopolies, shall be
the po'icv of the preaent administration,
it is more than poseib'e that the people
may again nominate and le Grover
Cleveland President, regardless of poll
tletans. No number of public dinners ; no
misnre of r-o'IMal mngment ; no
cunning political deliverance can eith
er help or hlader Grovr Cleveland as a
candidate for 1S&2. and It is simo'v a
waste of worry and effort for ePhyr
friends or foes to dicus the qusMnn
now. A pary "oridiMon will present
ltslf earlv in that must either en
tirety overtook him as a candidate or
snmmon him to the Cld wih a voice
that none can m,-surdersand or disobey.
D'-m't fret over the C'lovpland fsene f.ir
102 ; It will solve itself ,n due time
without the aid of political manager.
AM know jnat what is his faith and
what is bis public policy. His speech
delivered nn Monday night Is simply
Cleveland repeating himself, as la ever
the case, for In the green and in the dry
he is for conntry above party; for hons
et government above the spoilsman.
Be rattent abont Grover C'eveland ; he
w?U be in the rear or In the front In

Democratic Societies.
A strong and very sensible appeal for
tbe formation of Democratic societies
is made bv tbe New York Times which
lelieves that tbe work by which tbe
Democratic party must win in lStt2 is
tbe work of education.
The Democratic party, as a national
organization, says the Timra, has no
great money resources. With the po!i.
cy that it has deliberately adopted, and
to which it is at once ready and com
pelled to adhere, it can bold oat no in
ducements to any wealthy class to con
tribute to its campaign funds. If it be
placed in power and its policy can be
carried out by tbe gradual reform of
tbe tariff it will nnaoubtedely confer
general prosperity upon tbe country : it
will make the profits of all classes,
from the manufacturer to bis workmen,
from the capitalist to the farmer, more
cetain. more continuous and greater,
and it will make the cofct of living less,
whether on a large scale or a small one.
But tbe gain of any one man or of any
class of men tbns secured will cot be
definite enough or great enough to
make it a basis for raising money in
considerable sums for party purposes.
In these circumstances it ia plain that
tbe party must depend for its success
upon being able to convince the voters
of all classes that Its policy is really a
sound and wise, an honeet and useful
one. In such work the Democratic so
cieties and clubs that were largely or
ganized in the early part of last year,
and were spread over a large part of the
country, are a very valuable set of agen
cies. Trne it is that "the Democratic party
holds out no inducements to any
wealthy class to contribute to its cam
paign fund." The abolition of the
monopolistic system of taxation means
that tbe many shall not be taxed for the
benefit of the few.

and so do hundreds of other good remedies
kill if alujord instead of used. But ask tbe

sicians of all the land. Disease steals Into
yonr system like a sneak thief Into yonr
bnse, and often by neglecting a bad cold,
we end our days lo lingering, and wishing
for health when, Indeed, on bottle of Purs
Whitley or Brandy would have cured the
cold. Such goods may be scarce, but they
