The protected monopolies did not get Porter appointed Sjperintendont of the Cersus to collect any such figure?." There will be an exciting election In the Pnurth Senatorial district In Ohio on Tuesday next. A S-nator is to be chosen to fill a vacancy occasioned by the death of a IVrmxratic Sjnator.

As important political legis'a- tion is ilrrwnd ino th Hfriierl. frtr mastery will te strenuous. Bo'h p.tr-j ties have put strong men in nomina tion, and as the district is a close one nothing is lacking to make the contest furious. The Chairman of the House Com mittee on II inking and Currency, has prepared a bill for the perpetuation of National Dinks, which he will in'ro duce in the Ilouf at the first opportun ity. The bill provides fcr the issue of ;tX),000 OOu 2 per cent, bonds, to run fifty years and to te used exclusively as a bHiis for National bank circulation. The rrocteda from the sale of tbe bonds aretJ be ar plied tithe redemption of bonds now onfsfndirg. The bill has been sutm'ff-d ti s-critiry Wlndom and Controller Lacey, ard it is un dsisfood that It has their approval. A Refreaentati ve of the Kansas City Tivus interviewed ex-President Cleveland at his Lome in New York a few days ago. Speaking of tfriff reform Mr. Cleveland said : "It would be a pity noc to carry forward the work which the partj has so grandly inaugurated, nd there ou?ht to be no bait until the ends aimed at are encom passed and the people are in full posses sion of the bentfks and bles?ir,ga which an accumrjlatiou of ir. ti'ialities, called Into existence by ap.tthy cn on s de and self interest on the other, have di verted from them.' Mr. Cleveland may rest assured the work which the ratty has so graudly inaugurated will be cartied forward, The grasping monopolists should make hay while the sun shines. The IIous ot Representatives, says Le Pittsburg J'ost. from this week on is likely to be tbe scene of earnest and sometimes excited partisan contention over the new rules and tbe contested seat. These matters adjusted, in ac cordance with the plans of tbe Repub lican majorily, there will ba fair sailing for the various subsidy schemes, tbe National flectioc Mw, tbe B air JS0, 000.000 educational bill, navy and forti fication appropriations, and possibly some "tinkering" with tbe tariff, al though the opinion is growing there will be no legislation on that subject. The protected interests, and especially the trusts and combinations, are satis Qed with matters as they stand. B)th parties have held caucuses and determined on their line of action. The Republicans seem inclined to pro ceed without rules in tbe settlement of the contested seats, as in their absence the epeaker is absolute in any lengths of ir jnstice so long as a majority sus tains bis decisions. Having accom plished their ends in this way, according to the reports of their caucuses, "the rigidity of tbe new code might ba re laxed with benefit, and the Republi cans thus relieved of the necessity of enacting a code which in time, might perhaps be fdt by themselves vith full force." This is a frank confession cer tainly. They propose to carry ont their partisan deviltry and irjustlce, without rules, and this done, and tbe necessary numbtr of seats stolen by brute force, they will bring forward a a set of more moderate rules, so that when the Democrats appdr in the Con gress with a majority, tbey will hve a precedent of Republican "moderation," This Is very thin. As we recall the facts, in the Forty saventh Congress, from to 1S33, with the Illustrious Keifer as speaker, the Republicans were very much in the fix they are ac this time. Their ma jority was scant and seats bad to be stolen to recruit it. The rules were changed to effect this, and when the Democrats came by their own in the next Congress, they did not follow this precedent, but gave to the Republican minority their full rights auder tbe old rules.Tbese thev have had in heaping measure, during .he last six years un der the sreakersbJp o? Mr. Carlisle, and it is these rights they now cut off from the minority by making an auto crat of th speaker until all their parti san outrages have been accomplished. Let tbera go ahead. Six years ago a dose of Keifer revolutionized the poll tics of the Housi at t ha first succeed ing election, and a stronger dose of Red will have more pronounced re sults. But with this difference, tbe Democrats who come in after the R-ed House will insist th Republicans shall take their own medicine. The congressional history of the country emphasiz-s the fact that it is not the path of safety for any political party to adopt rules when in a mnj rity whose application th y would dread when in a minority. Pjnishment is sure to come in time, aud there is noth ir p more uncertain and variable in the politics of this country than the politi cal control of tie National House of Representatives. It was easy to be seen at tbe Repub lican County Convention held in Ebens burg, on Monday last, that something more than rsual was on band. One hundred and four delegates at a Re publican Convention in Cambria county, startles even the imagination of a per son who has been accustomed to see the empty chairs attending their gath erings. Every postmaster in the county was on deck and the patriotic impo'se of strangltrg Hastings beat In unison in their loya! breasts. They were re solved to show Itjss t lay that with them, his interests were their interests to the fullest degree. The resolution instructing the dele gates froia this county to vote for Del rmateras the choice of the Cambria County Republicans for Govrrnor was carried by a vote or ninety-nine for D-lamater, fonr for Hastings and one for Montooth. Tbey not only hur ried HasMngs, but thev rammed In the earth and sodded tbe mound, mkicg one of the most complete political funerals.on record. And all this in the face of the fact that nine tenths of the rank and file of tbe Republican prty in Cambria county, if left to their own free choice woa'd be for Hasting. whom they know, as against Delamater whom tbey never heard of. The Quay collar is en (heir necks and they wear it gracefully- Ir there is any sense of honor left in the Rriub'ican party of Ohio, says the New lork JItrall, Governor Fuiaker will hereafter be regarded aa a dead lion No eelf respecting man ever yet found himself m a position more hu miliating. His worst enemies can scarcely mlah h:m a harder fate than that which seems to have ovrrtakrn him. Even the desire Tor revenue muat give way to contempt. The testimony of Wood, given in Washington and put.lit.Led throughout the coun'ry, fairly opens the jugular veiu of 1 raker'a career and dooms bira to bleed to death. Wood admitted befcre the committee that he was himself a very miserable sort of a creature, willing for his own price, to be nsed as a tool. If the Governor wanted a forged decunient Wood was as willing to procure it for Dim as Foraker was to use it after it had been obtained. The one blasting, damminj point in Wood's testimony was that Foraker must have known of the forgery, and, knowing, was nevertheless eaget to rmke it a part of his camaign. The Governor of Ohio has floundered in the mire duiing thli whole investiga tion aud b ink deeper at every effort. When the evul uce isall in be will go out of aigh'. altogether, and his friends may pioperly put up an inexpensive head board with this legend inscribed there upon: "Even in American politics U pays to play a square game." Senator iuY, called at the White House, Friday, with a list or appoint ments which be des red to have made in Pennsylvania. He got very co'.d comfort, however, and departed in somewhat of a huff. Row to Improve Roads. It is admitted that Pennsylvania la away In tbe rear of progress in public highways, and it is a hopeful sign that puDiic Interest in the subject has been quickened to the extent of makiGg the State Board of Ag riculture deyote a special meeting to the general discussion of our bad roads and the best method of improving them. The common Infirmity of the age de veloped itself in a prominent degree in proposing means for attaining better roads. The theory that the Govern ment wtether6:ate or National, must asbume tbe paternal office and do for tbe people wbat they can best do for themselves seems to have ruled in tbe various propositions for improving our Pennsylvania roads. Even Governor Beaver was so far forgetful ot bis own high official duties as to suggest that it might be best for the Stale to make tbe more important roads. Of couise. with such a suggestion coming from the Governor, it was only logical for others to accept tba paternal proff-T of the State and insist that the S'.ate shruld make good roads for tbe people. Had Governor Beaver given serious consideration to the tut ject and spoken with that candor that was due from him on the occasion, be would hate said that State appropriations for roads bad long ceased to be the policy ot tbe State, and that to turn back to the pa ternal theory that was born of stern teees-siny when turnpikes and canals were beyond the scope of private or corporate enterprise, would only invite the Legislature to log-roll road appro priation for speculators. He must know, witb bis fretful experience in diepoelog of legislative appropriations, how utterly impracticable it would be for the Slate to assume tbe paternal ic making public roads. Another noticeable feature of tbe discussion elicited on the subject of improving oar Pennsylvania roads was the general desire of the advocates of good roads that the State should pay for tbem and that tbe people who use tbem should have reduced taxes wiib increased expenditures from the pub:ic treasury for their special benefit. In short, the popular theory of tbe rural charxpious of good roads seems to be that ibe State must make their roads and that others who would not use the improved roads muat pay tbe taxes to construct them. They point to tbe cities and half incline to the plan of taxing tbe cities to make the country roads, obviously forgetful that tbe properties of the cillea are taxed vastly more for their own highwas and other needed improvements than any rural section or the S ate. Philadelphia pays f 1.85 for evero $100 ot real property at a fair cah valuation, and where is there such a tax exacted from tbe rural land owner ? There is only one way to get good roads in Pennsylvania and that is for eveiy community to make tbem lor its own people. There could be no other reasonable expenditure to promise such I etiiticent results for the outlay as tbe expenditure for good roads in every to caiity. Good roads increase tbe value of farms and village properties vastly beyotid their coet ; they save to tbe farmers and others who uae them, in economy of Lorse-power and in wear a Li tear of teams and wagons, im mensely over their cost each year, and every consideration oT interest and comfort calls upon every rural com munity to revoiuMooiz- its road system and make road improvement a matter of practical bosinoes, instead of the present farcical system bv which taxes are first reduced to the lowest point and then wasted by the mockery of woik ing out taxes under a Supervisor who dare not offend tbe people it bo elect him. The one way to get roads in Penn sylvania is for each towaship to pick out it a most intelligent and progressive citizen and elect nim Supervisor, with tbe ucderstandirg that he must devote bie time and the liberal cash taxes of tbe people ia making good roads. When tbe people of one of the towns ebips or Montgomery county elected A. J. Cassatt Supervisor of Roads, they made the best possible Investment. They gagged somewhat at bis expendi tures, but they now have tbe best roads, tbe largest increase of tbe valne of property, and tbe greatest economy and comfort in tbe use or their teams or any community It the State. There are few townships which have a Cas satt to call to the Supervisorship of roads, but every township that picks out the nearest approach it has to him for Supervisor, will get the cheapest and the tt roads and the largest pro fits from their taxes. The State cannot make roads. The people oaav be de luded by demagogic politicians into an opposite belief, but there wil be no im provement in Pennsylvania roads notil the people buckle dowo to their own Interests and nuke good roads for themselves. rnila. Times. ne Suffers Only tndar Republicanism. It is the Republican party that is al ways worrying about the negro ques tion. The party seems to be mighty afraid that tbe negro will not have bis rights unless the Republican party shall be continued, for tbe purpose or absorb ing the spoils and perpetnatlrg a sys tern of taxation wMch bears heavily upon tbe negro, tbe farmer and tbe laborer. Its heart is always bleeding ror tbe negro, and according to its own account tbe reason for sorrow is never so great aa when tbe party If in power. During the Administration of Mr. Cleveland there was no uohappiness on this score, and when the sectional Ad ministration or Harrison w-11 have Pissed away tbe succeeding Democracy will not be vexed serioosiy by tbe ne gro question. It is, of coarse, an an comfortable race problem, which, with the rapid increase of negroes, may yet give the Southern States serious con cern, but Ingalls. with his firebrand uggt-ations, will not help matters. With affectations or fail ness the Sena tor talks like a rax.k partisan as be is, who would use race prejudice to the advantage or Pharisaical Republican ism. CVnWioo Times. An Unscrupulous Tart j. It is regrettable that justice plays no part iu settling contested election cases when Republicans are ia tbe ma jority and desire a greater majority. It might be objust to say '.hat tbe Re publican leaders were Instrumental in hmviog tbe pending contests made with tbe view of increasing their strength .n the House, but it certainly looks aa if there were a plot or that kind. Tbe Republican party seems to have decid ed that if it cannot elect Congressmen in tbe South, it will secure tbem in some other way. Tbe unseating of Democrats and the filling of their places with Republicans by the House is about as effective a way to get a ma jority aa the returning board is. If tbe Republicans succf-ed in getting Con gress to place Congressional elections under Federal control, tbe returning board will be depeoded to do tbe kind of work the Republican majority of the House proposes to do now.

Congressman Bulterwortb ia ia favor of tbe annexation or Canada to the United Slates. He Is also in favor of reciprocity between the two coon uiea, and be Is also In favor ot free trade. Free trade between this country and Canada would bestow upon both countries all the advantages with none ot tbe burdens of annexation. Canada baa coal, ore and lumber in vast quanti ties which the Canadians could swap for machinery and Yankee notions without number. This constant swap ping would furnish profitable employ ment to tbe people north and south of tbe St. Lawrence, ana the only men to suffer by this trade free and unhamper ed, would be a few custom bouse tffi clals and subordinates, who would, of course, be discharged, there being no longer need for tbeir services Utderthe policy of tariff confisca tions trade Is restricted, smuggling and false swearing encouraged and the peo ple of both countries deprived of their just rights to bny and sell when and where tbey please. For such a state of affairs there ia no excuse, and Congress- man Botterworth spoke truly when be declared against tbe further continu ance of a policy which slighted off the yast interests of "the nation" in order to satisfy tbe greed ot the "owner of a pet toe patch." Keep right along, Mr. Butterworth, youarebeded in tbe right direction, and will, in time, see tbe folly of per muting the owners of a coal patcb or an iron patcb to do wbat is now wrong in tbe owner or ibe "potato patch-' to do. The Yankee does not require the guardianship of tbe tariff league to protect blm in bs trading with tbe Canadians and tbe "men across tbe line" are capable of selling their wares to tba best advantage. Remove the tariff barriers and let trade take it a natural course. llxrrisbvro Patriot. Tbe Electoral College. We have been asked why the authors of the Constitution incorporated in it tbe electoral c. liege methods of choos ing a President. Tbe gentlemen who prepared the Constitution bad tor the moat part no verv great confidence in the intelligence and character of the masses ef tbe people, and, with some exceptions tbey did not reel Mke trust ing tbe people directly with the power of selecting tbe President. They evi dently bad no idea Ibat the popular will would make the elect oi a' college device a mere form, as It did very eariy in our niatory. j.neir laeawastnai h body Of eminent men selected for the j purpose, would make a more judicious I and careful selection of President tbn Congress or a popular convention wou'd. j It was intended that the electoral cols t lege wouia nut merely rrgiaier me win i or tne people. Dot snouia assemme un ins'ructed and make i'f own free and independent choice of President and Vice-President. Another reason ror providing an electoral college w is that the fathers of tbe Republic knew noth ing about N ttional Conventions, and of course saw tbe imossibili y of mass conventions of the people of whole S a'es, and saw in tbe electoral eoltege a representative body small enough to meet in State groups, and deliberate and discuss the important matters in the choice of a Chief Magistrate. Tbe choice of a President by electors, like the choice of Senators by Legislatures, was inteoded to serve as a check upon popular impulse, and the rights of the small States were protected in some mea.'ore from tbe great majorities of votes cast in tbe large States by tbe provision of one elector for each Sena tor as well as one for eich Repreaena tive. Xativnul Democrat. Mahlng the Single Tat. A man will ordinarily undergo great er hardships, practice mere self-denial, exercise more or the virtues which go to tbe upbuilding of the Common wealth, in order to secure a borne, than to accomplish anv other object. This is wbat bis mind is first set on aid when be has gained it bis efforts are equally enlisted to keep it. Tbe single tax threatens to profoundly alter the meaning of tbis word as we understand it. It is not consistent with the idea of borne tbat somebody should take it away from us b bidding at au auc ion. If it be said tbat oo such auction would take place, but that the S ate would fix t' e tax at a rate previously ascer- tamed as sufficient to take the econo mic rent, differing from tbe pres -nt tax only in amount, then we say tbat there is no means of ascertaining what the economic rent is. It would be impossible to form an approximate estimate at the beginning by taking as a standard tbe rents paid ! by individuals for the use of tbe land i as a matter of bargain. Rut the at an- dard would uniy serve for the first renting. What about the seeoud t ' Land values change.

Government ought to again pay the Congressmen wboee sal aries were s'.oleo by the defaulting cashier. We are aory for this, although our judgment has been vindicated.

There was never a more fla grant attempt to obtain money bv force, ir Cougreas adopts thia report it will be another salary grab, another robbery of the Treasury simply because the robbers have tbe right to enact laws. Silcott acted aa the agent of each Representative. lie drew tbe money from tbe Treasury oo a certificate signed by tbe member. Payment to him was payment to his principal, and it would be precisely as honest far a Congress man to demand that tbe Government should restore bis monthly salary which bad been stolen from his pocket by a thief as it is to make tbe Treasury re sponsible for Silcott's defalcation.

On Friday a railroad man had occasion to call at tbe laundry and upon entering was hor rified to discover tbe dead body of one of tbe Chinamen and tbat or a woman named Mamie Sweeney Ijing close together on tbe floor. Bending over one or the tables was the Kdy ot the other Chinaman cold In deatb. The Sweeney woman has parents living at O.iphant, Pa., and for a time re sided in Seranton.
