Going to Europe in ery nics indeed for those who cau afford to make the trip, but it costs a great deal of money. Present estimates are that SO.000 Americans have crossed the ocean this season, and that the mere matter of passige money going over and coming home will amount to the tidy sum of J14.000.0ti0. I: is fair to assume that each pHssenger will spend abroad not less than ?.".00, or a total for the 80.000 of 540.000,000 making in all probably $00,000,000 of American money that has been spent in Europe or on the way to and from thigher this season. Ex Secretary JUyakd tells a cor respondent of the Philadelphia Record that be wants no c tilee, and declares thtt Democracy must bold -its faith pledged last year. Sijshe: "The tariff question Is a grave and profound one, and should be f uMy dis cussed. The Democracy, I think, will again advocate taiifT reform. Of course It will take time to settle this Issue. I tbltk taxation for protection is com-muDi.-ni. The manner and time used by the Republican National Committee In raising enormous ecms of money during the last campalgu to influence the election waa only an additional proof u! the mcsity of the reform. I think fie wool will bs the first Btep to ward reform." The Constitution of Pennsylvania, Says Ibe Hariiaburg Patriot, intends i that the voter shall be permitted to cast ; a tnorougniy secret ballot. Under ex isting laws it is impossible for any voter to conceal Trom the election tfheers lh names upon bis ticket and the election officers are generally not slow to com- unicate this knowledge to interested outsiders. The secret ballot is one of the princi pal tuuniments of free suffrage. Espec ially is this the fact so far as the w.ge worker, is concerned. It is a notorious fact that the mine boss, the furnace superintendent, the factory lord, to say ! nothing of other employers, make a j practice of controlling the voteis in meir employ and frequently visit their displeasure upon tbem by dismissing them from their service if they dare to exercise an independent juJgment in casting their ballots. The Australian t-ftem of voting, which insures a per fectly secret ballot, therefore commends itself to all friends of free suffrage. The Democratic S ate platform, on which Hon. EJmur.d A. Bigler stands as a candidate for State Treasurer en- . . ,. i doises the Australian ejbtem of voting. ! Mr Powderly, the chief of the Knigt ief Of the KnigtlS I of Labor, favors the Australian ballot. Every wageworker, whatever bia poli tics, naturally favors that sjs em. 2sext year a legislature to be chosen and it the workingmeu of Pennsylvania would impress the political parties of the State that they desire the adoption of the Australian btllct system they should cist their votes for Mr. Bigler on tbe ground that he is the only S ale ie is candidate before the people who pledged to that system of Yoticg. Tiie portion of the Treasury ring, flays the Pittsbnpg Toif, and ill select ed candidate fcr State Treaurr in this cauipugn, shou'd b a pretty severe d 5 for "the U-tirr class" Republic ns were they not acrostomeJ to medicine or this sort. Quay has them so well under bis heel that we do not bear a whimper or complaint in the face of nul.Ecation of an important law, in the 'business interest," to advance the po litical and financial interests of the riog. This is the Humes law. passed dur ing the Pattison administration, re quiring that the lartre treasury balances over and aboye a certain sum, ample for the current wants of the Slate, ehould be invested in State or United States bonds, and returns therefrom paid into the treasury. Under Governor Pattison one million of dollars was invested In this way, and returned a profit to the State of 540.000 a year. When Beaver and a full Re publican administration came into pow er, on a very shallow pretense these bonds were sold, and the amount rea lized returned to the treasury In cash. to be deposited in the favored backs of the treasury ring, to be by them loaned ac a profit. This was the very thing the Humes law was designed to break up. By this nuliflcation of the law the interest on the ballance derived from their perfectly safe investment in gov erament bonds was lost to the taxpay ers, but the treasury ring bandied the money for its beutfp. In the last Legislature, when an at tempt was ma le to Investigate this law less and corrupt proceeding specific charges have been made the investiga tion was defeated mainly by the efforts of Speaker Bojer. For this service Boyer has been rewarded with the nom ination for State Treasurer, and if elected will be the faithful ally of the treasury ring. It is computed if the Humes law had beeu carried out, as Governor Pattison compelled the Republican S-ate c fillers to carry it out. the State would now be in receipt from the earuings of its trea eury balance of fJO,000 a year. Instead of this, is is probably realizing the treasury ring a much larger sum, as the ring taks risks ic the use of State money that command a larger rte of interest than the returns from absolute ly safe invtslments In Government bonds. On the 30 h day of July last there were in the treasury of the Common wealth Sl.13o.000. This is the untx. pended balauce, the greater pait of which should be invested in government bonds as the Humes Uw directs. The law Is nullified in the interest of the treasury rir.g, and 3r. Dover is nominated for State treasurer to con tinue a lawless and corrupting policy. If the the people elect Mr. Bigler State treasurer they will see a speedy reform. He is pledged to that, and bis conceptions of public duty, as well as the dictates of political expendiency, will command a change from a lawless aud corrupting policy to one in accor dance with the will of the people, as de clared in their legislation. This is about ah the iaaue there is in tie election of State treasurer. It is a pretty big one, notwithstanding there is very little noise aude about it. A frightful accident happened at Carnegie's Edgar Thompson Steel Works at Braddock, on Thursday uight of last week, by which Capr. William R. Jones, general manager of the im mense steel works, and Michael (uion, a workman were fatally burned and several workmen badly injured. Furnace ' C," one of the larsest of the blast furnaces, gave way at the bot tom and tons of molten metal, like water escaping from a reservoir, rao out. The furnace had not been working properly during the day. and Capt. Jones called to see if be could not ascer tain the cause. He waa working wiih a number of meu near the base of the furnace when the break occurred. In an instant Mimes of fire phot forth, and the hot metal exploded and fell like sheets of water. Tons of tte metal poured out of the furnace, and that any person near the furnace escaped instant death is regarded as almost ac accident.

We are convinced that American opinion and American strength. strength Irresistible by any European S.ate if it were once f ally exerted, con Btilate two of the many dangers which would result from the concession of home rule That measure would al most infallibly result in a declaration of independence. Some of the Irish lead ers may be quite sincere in declaring, as they do w hen speaking on this s.de of the water, that they have no such scheme in their heads ; but their best motive is tbeir desire to be a nation with a separate career and without io dependence they are not such a nation The highest, and therefore in the long run the most operative aspirations of their people, would not be gratified by liberty as a parish. England would al ways be accused of intriguing, always hated for her wealth, always suspected of meditation invasion ; the causes of friction would be en q less, and some of tbem justly resented by the weaker side, and in some impulsive hour the final declaration would be made. The vote once passed in Dublin, the independence of Ireland would be recs oguized by the American Union in a wfiek. A hundred motives would in duce the politicians ot Washington to recommend that course, and the people, after a moment of hesitation, would accept the advice. They have never quite forgiven England for recognizing the belligerent rights of the South. They have never forgotten that their own freedom was in part owing to rrencn assistance, and that their suc cess has, nevertheless, rever in all the subsequent time embarrassed France, except, indeed, bv making her for a moment think Lafayette a great man. All the desire to give Great Britain a lesson, which deflects American politics before every Presidential eleetion. all the aspiration to stretch the States over the provinces of the Dominion to the pole, all the anxieties of both parties to rivet the Irish vote, and all the floating impression of Irish suffering, would tend together to induce the Union to protect Ireland. That would mean war with a State stronger than onrselves. with 2.0OO.000 of allies, ready to die for her. living inourowo streets, and with an inde fensible territory, which vet must be o-ienaed. stretching along her side. r.ven under tho?e circumstances. Eng land might survive oi emerge victori ous ; but to sav that rhev wonld not be serious circumstances, or that Ire land, in the event of rebellion, could be subdued with ease, is utter folly. No State, however powerful, will ever again do with eae anything to which the American Itepnblic is strongly op posed. There- is not a diplomatist in Europe who does not know this, or who does not hold that Napoleon III. was only sane in quitting Mexico, and that Prince Bismarck showed his wisdom when, rather than quarrel serioua'y with Washington, he abandoned all pre tensions iu Samoa. London 6'ijectalor. A Failure After a Quarter Century. The American manufacturer suffers now for a market. He has the price he asks for as fjr as the government can interfere to aid him to obtain it. He has the legislation he has sought. Yet he finds himself with heavy surplus s'ocks and smaller profits than ever. He cats wages down and he tells his workmen he cannot avoid it it is the best thing he can do. Perhaps it Is. under the policy he has chosen. But suppose he had adopted another policy. Suppoee. in accordance with the spirit oflhease and the enlightment of an intelligent eye to business, he had said : "I will not confine my efforts to my own country for a market. I will trade with the world. I will rely upon my advantage in possessing the richest na tion, inhabited by the most intelligent and capable people. I will not shut myself up. as did mv Chinese prototype of old, in it. but will take the chances of these advantages which God and na ture have given me, and will follow the course that reason and enlightened civi lization point out in preference to that which both have exploded. I will sell to those who want to buy the world over and buy of tbem, if necessary, as well." Is it to be supposed that under these conditions the American manufac turer would be helpless to-dy in the presence of an accumulating surplus of goods and the heaviest tariff of the age an acknowledged failure for his belief af'er a quarter of a century of trial Boston Herald. Old Hundred's Tricks. For several years past a a illicit place for the sale of whiskey and tobacco has been run in a building built directly on the lne between West Virginia and Pennsylvania, near the banks of Cheat river.

Somerset County Dem ocrat. The Democratic Idea. The difference between the Democra tic and Republican piitieaon the ques tion of fixation is not a difference be tween 47 and 40 per cent., which is a mere matter ot detail, nor a question between a prohibitory tariff on one side and free trade on tbe other, which is a mere academic discussion, of no inter est to practical men. But it is a dif ference that lies at the very root of all government, a question upon which it depends whether our Government shall be of the people, for ti e people, and by the people, or a Government of all the people by a verv few of the people for an extremely limited class of the peo ple. The Republican party says that taxes are blessings, and tbe more the people of a nation are taxed Individual ly, trie more prosperous the nation is as a whole. Tbe Democratic partv de Clares thtt taxes are burdens, and the lees we Dave of them the better, and that the idea of enriching the whole community by taking property In minute quantities from a great many people and giving it in large quantities to a few people is simple rubbish. Six ty million dollars in one one man's pocket is a very imposing evidence of his prosperity, but the nation would be belter off if each one of CO.OOO.OOO peo ple had a dollar in bis pocket, although it is true that the $00,000 000 would not make much show when divided up. Undoubtedly it makes money circulate to take it out of one pocket and put it into the other, but thai does'nt make the whole amount any greater. And so it makes it circulate to take it from one man and give it to another, but the process does not bless the man it is tak en from. National Democrat. The Urant Gang. George M.

A Republican papr, the Xorth ire.stern Farmer and l'.rudtr, boldy de dares that protection does not truly represent tbe western idea among west ern Republicans," and that 'the farm ers or Dakota and Minnesota, and in fact tbe farmers and stockmen of the entire northwest who gave to tbe States and Territories their Republican major ineo. mo iu iarin men, ir we expect one class the wool-grower?." Tte Farmer and Breeder announces to its readers that it wi l "begin next month, and follow up in succeeding issues, a discussion of this subject, and will try to make it so plain that the youngest reader will fully understand what tariff s, what it means, how It is collected, who is benefited, and who is supposed to der.ye a benefit." And it speaks the following significant preliminary words We have always noticed that, once a man is led to investigate, he discovers that X is really a personal matter if af fects bis success ; it enters into the bouse and touches almost every article in daily usa ; it goef out upon his farm and levies a heavy tax on all his farm machinery, tools, and utensils ; a fax that brlnirs him no return in any shape.
