for the murder of Paymaster P.rainard
McClure and his guard Hugh i'lauian,

An- impression has jrone out over the

many injuries concerning it have been
received at the State Department. The

On Thursday of last week, the voters
of the State of Kbode Island, voted on
the repeal of the Prohibition amend

The first execution of a woman in
Philadelphia, was that of Mary Jane
Mbitcling, which took place in the
corridor of the county prison on Tues
Jny morning at 10 o'clock. The crimes
for '.vhich Mrs. "W'hitelirjg was hanged
were for the deliberate poisoning of her
hu3band and two children with arsenic
about a year ago, for the purpose of se
curing a small amount of insurance
which she carried od each of tbeir lives.
She walked firmly to the scaffold and
seemed indifferent to her impending
fate.
Mr. James McManes, oce of the
Republican leaders in Philadelphia, in
ppeaking of the defeat of Prohibition
in Pennsylvania says : '"I can only
reiterate what I have heretofore said
that such a defeat for the prohibitory
.amendment in the face of such a large
majority as the Republican party has in
the State can't be otherwise than de
trimental to the party. The result is
no surprise to me, as the leaders and
the workers of both sides were all
against the amendment. I was against
the submission of the amendment at
the time it was presented, lecaiwe I
did not understaud for what purpose it
was offered. My opinion at tLe time
the resolution was submitted to the
convention was that it was offered in
good fitb, but I am cow satisfied that
euch vas cot the cai;e."
Steak txo of the protective tariff
that has reduced the price of wool to
our own growers, hampered our owu
manufacturers, and made the cost of
living higher to our own reople, the
Xew York T,,if says that if wool were
made entirely free, these conditions
would be reversed. Wool would ad
Tance in rrice, though it would still be
lower than duty-paid wool now is.
Tbe chance to use foreign wool to mix
with our own would increase the de
maud, whlla our mills would have an
equal market with their competitors '
Abroad. American skill and ingenuity
'with the knowledge of the home mark
et and its peculiar requirements, would i
give our mills an advantage over j
foremen mills, and woo!;n cr mixed I
goods would be produced at a profit for I
the makers aud still at cheaper rates for
the consumers. Tbe demand for all
labor connected with the various indus
tries, from tbat of the farmer to that of
the operative, the machinist or the
builder, would be stimulated. Wages
would be relatively Lighei while the
cost of living would be reduced. These
are the plain facts that the farmers
must study if they really wish to further
tbeir own interest. It is not a matter
of theory, of abstract free trade or pro
tection. It is a question of how a
definite experiment, tried for twenty
years and more, has resulted, and of
how failure in that experiment can be
changed to succesj in the opposite direction.

The country ba3 had quite enough
of legislative cowardice s.iys the Xew
York in the matter of legisla
tion for the regulation oi the liquor
traffic, and it is time to call a halt.
It is clt-arly the business of the law
makers in each State to deal with this
matter by statute and direct responsi
bility for their manner of dealing with
it. It is their function to decide be
tween prohibition, high license, low j
license and no license, and to prescribe I
the terms upon which liquor-selling
shall be permitted, if permitted t.t all.
Hut the politicians in legislatures are ',
mo!?ly atjtct cowaid in this tuattfr,
and it is their cowardice which prompts
themtoshhk the pUin duty imposed
uron tbem by submitting constitutional
amendments on the subject to a popu
lar vote. Doing that commits them to
nothing, involves no sacrifice of .support
and entaili no risk. It involves the
public in a deal of expense and vexa
tion, but tbat is not a matter of anxi
ous concern to the average legislator.
The regulation or tbe liquor traffic,
like the mguiation of the drug business,
the manufacture of explosives and
other affairs of the kind, is a proper
subject of statutory provision and not
at all one that should be dealt with y
amendments to the fundamental law.
There is no more sense in submitting it
in that shape to a popular vote than
there would be in submitting a consti
tutional amendment prescribing the
qualiGcations of doctors or druggists
The thing is simply a device for shirk
ing responsibility by those upon whom
the responsibility properly rasts.
Tiieue is at present so much suffer
ing among the coal miners in the State
of Indiana, that the (Jovernor of that
State has felt it necessary to issue an
appeal for relief. The Chicago Trihune
says if there is not an equal amount of
suffering at this momt-at among the
same class of men in Illinois it is cer
tain that there sjon will te, and that
they will be starving if they are not
aided. It is estimated that there are
now nearly lu.000 Illinois miners out of
work, which means that thousands of
women and children are also destitute.
In the laV campaign there was a great
deal of civilized bulldozing to compel
th-3e Indiana and Illinois miners to
vote for Harmon, on the ground only
by his election could steady work and
good wages be secured. Delegations of
the Indiana mines were taken from
the minfng center at Urar.il to Indiana
polls last r,l! to heat Candidate Harri
son discourse on the beau'.ies of protec
tion and its necessity to the well l?in
of the mechanics be was talking to. i
They know how it Is now, just as hun
dreds of thousands of American me
chanics do in Indiana, Illinois, Pennsyl
vania, the Xew Kngland and other
States.

The Set-bark lor Prohibition.
The Prohibition ..-r are still attribu
te tl.-a overwbeSta'.'ig defeat of t!
rrr.tilutional atut-ui'.-iwn in Pc-rryl- j
vania to tr.e r.osiuf attrude or me i
'political machines." Sj far as vecan
mtike out. Ib.rir rt-sentment is due
mainly to the failure of the
Republican "machine" to exert it a
power on their side. Whatever frvns
may have been mde ty individual
politicians and p.ir.y managers to se
cure the defeat of the amendment,
there is little or do evidence that either
patty organizV ion exerted its power
t-itberway, and the vote is cot to be
accounted for by the attitude of party
managers. Ia the submission of such
a question by a popular vote it was en
tirely proper that neither political party
aa an organization should take sides.
The people should be left to exercise
an independent choice in accordance
with tf'eir conviction upon th issue
an1 without regard to party kfR.iations.
This was substantially the case in
IVnr.sylvania, and the result was an
overwhelming defeat for prohibition.
It is well known that most Democrats
are opposed to Prohibition, whether by
constitional amendment oi by a'atute,
and it is not likely that many Republi
cans who are really in favor of it
voted against tteir convictions on ac
count of the attitude or wishes of auy
politician.
The defeat in Rhode Island is still
more significant, aud nobody seems to
pretend that it was brought about
through party action. It was undoubt
edly the re&Hlt of a conviction derived
from fresh exerience that Prohibition
was a failure and was doing far more
harm thau srood to the cause of tem
perance. It was not accomplishing
what its supporters three years ago
hoped that it would accomplish, and it
was an obstacle in the way of such
son that it was swept away by a vote of
nearly thiee to one by the same pop!e
who in 1S" established it by a vote of
more than three to two. This is not
8'tup:y a verdict against prohibition bv
constitutional amendment, it is a ver- j
diet gair.st rrnhihition as a practical
policy. Durirg the recent canvas on !
the question in Massachuset's there
were some very Pound argumeuts put !
forth against embodying a declaration
of policy on such asutject in the or
ganic law of tbe Sta'e, whatever might
te done by the statute. Hut not many
votes were affected by this considera
tion. Men who are really in favor of
prohibition as a policy are not averse to
making it obligaiory upon Legislatures
to adopt tbeir views if it can be done,
and those who argue against such a
courso are those who have no faith in
the policv.
We regard the series of defeats which
constitutional prohibition has suffered
es indicating an advance in public
sentiment under the agitation of tbe
sut jtct of temper ioce legislation, and
we believe that progress will continue
in the same direction. Prohibitionists
are fond of likening themselves lo the
Free Soilers of the last generation and
profess to believe that there is an anal
ogy between their cause and the anti
slavery cause of those times, and that
it is destined like that to take hold
up-o. the moral convictions of the
people, break op old party lines, ar.d
march on to ultimate triumph. Ilut
the atitt'ogy is purejy imaginary, and
the hopes founded upon it are fanatical.
We da not suppose the Prohibition par
ty has received itr death blow, but it is
likely to recede to its legitimate line3.
Those who have a fanatical attach
ment to the one idea of the party will
cling to it, but most citizens are practN
cai and seek for practical results. It
has ben demonstrated that prohibition
as a practical policy is ont of the qus
tiou, and they will turn their attention
to securing the adoption of something
slse.
This will be the great benefit to be
derived from the set back that has been
triven to the cause of prohibition,
liven those who have been inclined to
favor it and bave given it tentative
support will fall away and join the
ranks of those who are striving to se
cure the adoption of rational and prac
tical measures of restriction, leaving
only the impracticables to continue the
unavailing cry for the unattainable.
It will bring accessions to the support
of the policy of high license and local
option, which has the merit of being
adaptable to the condition of public
sentiment and capable of indefinite ex
tension. It is tbe policy of present ex
pediency and future progress. It can
be made as restrictive as the communi
ties to which it is applied will sustain
and make effective, and the restriction
can be increased whenever they are pre
pared for it. This is the reaeouabie and
sensible method of temperance legisla
tion, and it will gain advantage from
the defeats which prohibition has en
countered. X. Y. Tihtts.

Seven years ago several Life Insur
ance Companies took a ?40,000 risk on
Juhn Hillman, of Lawrence. Kansas.
Two years Uter, Hillman died and was
decently buried. It was soon wbU
pered that there was something smart
about the transaction. Perhaps tbe
wrong body had been buried. The In
surance men protested payment and the
widow brought suit, and after a !itiga.
tion of over three years, she gained a
victory and obtained the 5!',0X) cash
down. Tbe seoael shows that John

their willingness ti enter into a com- j
pact forbidding either side from paying j
for poll tax receipts ; and if ttiey are ;
level headed tbev will execute tue bond j
and faithfully obey it. ;
The borne sen- of the eountry people I
of ail 'parties gave tbe PniUdelphia
politici?.n3 a healthy brain clout by the
over he!oiii.g vote ctst against dead
beat suffrage. The S"ffrage atuend
meet simp'y meant that couidiy people
must pav tAXt-8 f.nd cry people could be
exempt, but the rural voters pal.ed
themselves together and just mopped
up the floor with the city juggler in
dead-beat suffrage.
As there w ill be one important elec
tion before the next legislature meets;
one tbat involves Governor, State offi
cer. Senator, Congressmen and Legis
lature, the issue must be met before
legislative relief can be had ; and the
only way to meet it is for the commit
tees aud leaders of all parties to unite
in the determination not to pay one
cent for dead beat voters. If that
policy sball be adopted, the loss and
gain of both parties will be equal, and
tbe priceless prerogative of the noblest
citizeosbip of tbe world will be rescued
from the reproach of the bummer.
The next L-gislature will of necessi
ty tke a healthy advance in dignifying j
suffrage. As the petty politicians and
the dead beats they have protected aud
multiplied are knocked out of dei;d
beat suffrage, there is no longer hope of
abolishing the lax standard ; and one
of the first acts of tbe new Legislature
of lSOl will be to require every citizen
to attend personally to bis own assess
ment and to the payment of his taxes.
Th law should be absolutely probibito
ry of either rf gist ration or payment of
taxes without appealing in person ;
and Ihe tax shou'd be made collectable
as all other taxes are now collectable.
o that dend tn-at citizens would have
to pay some time, with cos's, even if
tbev did not qualify themselves to vo'e.
Thp huu.blest citiz-n of the It-public

every ci.iz-n is made a s vereign of ihe
fiee government, and the man who
wou't pay twenty five cents a Tear for
tbe support of such a government bhould
oe refused tbe right of suffrage and be
made a stranger to its citizenship.
Now that the people themselves, by an
erit;rly unprecedented majority,- have
declared against tbe degradation of
suffrage to the demands of dead beats,
let all parties make a patriotic advance
for the elevation of the sovereignty of
the nation. Let all. as with one vcice,
declare tbat the man who fails to estab
lish his citizenship by registration, or
fails to pay his taxes in person,
shall be disfranchised and his tan.?

cy once adopted would efface dead

How often are we yet to 1 told that
whiskey kills ? Arsenic kill ; opium kills,
and so do hundreds of other good remedies
kill if a'ju.i'd instead of used. But ask the
question. "Will whiskey cure ?" "Yes !" Is
the positive reply of the most eminent phy
sicians of all the land. Disease steals into
yoar system like a sneak thief into your
bouse, and often by neglecting a bad cold,
we end our days In lingering, and wishing
for health when. Indeed, one bottle of Pur
Whixlev or Draiuly would have cured the
cold. Such goods may be scarce, but they
can be round at Max Kleins, 82 federal
street, Allegheny. His "Silver Age" is the
only whisky endorsed by the doctors. You
can get the pure Guckenheimer. Kinch or
