O.nk salient fact that crops up among
all the discussions as to Grover Cleve
land's opinions on the silver bill, on the
tariff and other leading questions of the
hour, says the Pittsburg Leathr,ia that
the ex-Prcsident is as commanding a
figure among the great men of the coun
try to-day as he was in the hey-day of
his prominence as Chief Executive of
the Government. His opponents may
rail at him; Dana may deride hint as a
stuffed Daniel;" disgruutled individu
als in his own party may decry him as
pretending to the distinction of lieing
I'igger than the party itself; but still the
truth looms up that Mr, Cleveland's
lcrsona!ity constantly challenges nation
al attention, that his utterances
havei a tremendous significance and
that his name appears oftcner in the
newspapers than that of any other pub
lic man of the day, not excepting Mr.
Harrison and Mr. Blaine. Whether this
is to be called popularity, notoriety or
what is an ojm question, but there is
no disputing that, in Mr. Cleveland's
own language, "it is a condition and not
a theory."

The farmers of the United States,
iys the Harrisbnrg I'tJlriot, now gener
ally understand the falsity of the claim
of the protect toni:-ta that the McKinley
bill benefit: them as a whole. It was
an ingenious scheme to delude the
farmer into the. lietief that protection is
great and MtKinley is it prophet, but it
failed. The new law increased the tar
iff on all agricultural products, but
when the farmer saw that he exerted
more than he imported (he had no need
to import any, for he raised more than
he coukl sell) he realized at once mat
the McKinley bill did not U-nefit him
nt all, for there were no imiort6 to lay
dutv upon. The only way it can bene
fit him is by increasing the price of the
product to the home con.sn.mer, and this
the protectionists declare the McKinley
bill doc not do with any product sold
in the markets of the Uniti-d States.
Then again, notwithstanding the in
creased dutv, the farmers are compelled
..cell in fn-e trade market all their
exported products, and, of course, they
are paid the prices which prevail in that
market.
The total exports and imports of a few
American agricultural product will show
how absurd is all pretense that the
farmer is U-nefited by the tariff: In
18'.0 we imported l,62t bushels of corn
and exported 101,910,000 bushel; oats,
imports 21,000 bushels, exports 13,90,-
(HX bushels, wheat, import lo,lH
bushels, exports 5 1,380, 000; flour, im
port, 1,210 barrels, exports 12,231,000
barrels, apples, no imports, exports 452,
IKX) barrels; dried apples, imports none,
exports 2O.SO0.000 pounds; butter, im
ports To, 522 jounds; export20,74S,0i2
Iounds; bacon, imports too insignificant
to lie mentioned separately, exports 521,
SW.0O0 pounds; hams, no imports re
ported, exports 7t,591,000; U-ef, no ini
l)rto; exjorts 353, 500,000 pounds, Ac,
Ac. Only in barley, hay and potatoes
do imports exceed exports. Potatoes
are now selling at a higher price than
before, because of ashort crop. Many
farmers are saving their crop for 6eed,
which they know will command a good
sum, but other farmers must pay it, and
the farmers as a class are not benefited.
One of the tariff papers made an awful
blunder the other day when it declared
that the tariff had increased the price of
Iotatoes, thus virtually admitting that
the tariff does increase the price of the
necessaries of life to the consumer.
The tariff papers raued a great hulla
balloo about an increase in the produc
tion of breadstuffs, but they said noth
ing about the absence of a correspond
ing increase in export. In January, 1S90,
we sert to market breadstuffs amount
ing in value to J 11, 557,020, and in Jan
uary, 1S01, only 9,71S,5SG. During
the seven months ending January 31,
lS'Jl, we exported o4,524,7,..J worth of
breadstuffs and during the correspond
ing period of IS','0, ?so203,970. Farm
ers are not protected, and the market
for their products is becoming smaller,
but the protectionists would have them
believe the high tariff is making them
rich.
Matthew S. Quay, on Monday says
the New York World, made in the Sen
ate of the United States what he is
pleased to call a reply to the charges
made against him months ago in the
World.
In due time the World will analyze
that reply in detail. At present it is
sufficient to direct public attention to
two or three iniortant points.
Mr. Quay's reply has l-en strangely
delayed, and is now made in a form
which an innocent man would hardly
deem sufficient. The charges were spe
cific. The answer is shuflling
The charges were made months ago and
widely copied. If they were not true
they were scandalous. They were made
by entirely resjionsible parties. Mr,
Quay's friends and political associates
.demanded that he should meet them
then, and in a fashion which should
put their truth to the proof.
He did nothing of the kind. He re
mained silent and saw his party defeat
ed in his own State because of his silence,
by reason of the revolt of its self
respecting voters. He remained silent
in face of the fact that a distinguished
man of his own partv declared in Con
gress that his silence was confession.
After all these months he offers the
Senate and the country his unsupported
world that lie is innocent, and his dec
laration that the crimes alleged were
committed by his partner, who is now-
dead and therefore unable to answer.
If Mr. Quay is innocent why has he
not met these charges in a way which
admitted of the taking of testimony
under oath?
Why has he not put the matter in such
shape that the facts could le tested with
certainty ? Why does he offer, in ref u
tatiou of such charges, only the word of
an accused and discredited man, without
even the poor support of his own aflida
vit.
Mr. Quay s answer is no answer. He
has not met the charges because he
cannot. He shirks because he knows
that the accusations are true.
Governor Northers, of Georgia, is a
memlier of tle Farmers' Alliance. He
was invited to a banquet at Atlanta to
meet Jay Gould- He declined the in
vitation. His excuse given privately
was that Mr. Gould's visit had no offi
cial character, and he objected to Mr.
Gould'? jMiIicy of monopoly and busi
ness methods to Btich an extent that he
did not care to meet him personally.
Governor Northern is nt least dignified
and consistent.

Washington Letter.--
WAf-ntvoTox. D. C. Feb. 13, 191.
Senator Plumb does not agree with the
majority of his party upon financial
matters, nor upon the tariff, but when
it conn to a question of Government
pap, w hich is the keystone of the latter
dav Republican aich. lie is Republican
to "the backbone. He has just given
ample evidence of this by fathering the
boldest attempt yet ojnly made for
overiding thesHiictinionioiis fraud known
as the civil service law. He has intro
duced a joint resolution providing that
stenographers, clerks, chiefs of divisions,
copvists and computers in the Census
office shall be eligible tor irantier io un
classified service in any of the Govern
ment departments. That means that a
couple of thousand Republicans are, as
they are dropped from the rolls of the
census bureau, which will le gradually
reduced from this time on, to be put in
to the regular departmental service with
out going through a. civil service exam
ination; it also "means that all of the
Democrat; now in the classified service
are to be discharged to make room for
those whose Republicanism Mr. Torter
of the Census bureau has vouched for
under oath. Every one knows that the
Civil Service law is a collossal humbug,
ami there would be no grief if it was re-
x-aled to-morrow, but that is no excuse
for such schemes to trample under foot
a law of the land as this one is.

found it nece-ssary to defend his silver
pool investigating committee from the
charge of not attempting to get all of
the information possible out oi tne wit
ness, Owenby, who was before the com
mittee last week. Mr. Dingley's denial
is almost a reiteration of the charge.
He savs the committee was anxious to
lave Owenbv U-stifv to what he had ter-
sonal knowledge of, but that it objected
to his giving hearsay evidence, and yet
Mr. Dingley knows very well that the
speculations in silver of thew two emi
nent Republicans, benator Lameron anu
Representative Taylor, of Illinois, were
first brought out by heresay evidence,
but perhaps that was the very reason
that he objected to any more of it. He
doesn't want any more Republicans
found out, and they are not likely to lie,
unless 6ome enterprising newspajier man
does it.

Mr. Cleveland's letter in opposition to
free coinage, published here this week,
shows that his backbone is as strong as
it was when he wrote the famous tariff
message upon which the campaign of
ISSjJ was fought. Manliness always
commands admiration. whether one
agrees with its possessor or not.
It is stated that the House coinage
Committee will next week report the
free coinage bill, with a recommenda
tion, from the majority of the commit
tee against any siler legislation. This
recommendation, if made, will lie
a bit of sharp parliamentary practice, as
it will prrvent the bill btmg placed on
the calendar, and make it necessary to
obtain the consent of a majority of that
committee before it can be called up,
in fact it will be equivalent to smother
ing the bill in committee, which was the
first programme of the Republicans,
Secretary Tracy received a sharp dress

The wrong methods in the conduct of

tacitly acknowledged by the authorities

residence of Christopher Fiitchman,
near Finleyville, was entered by burglars
Saturday evening. They broke open
the door, and liound Mrs. Page Fritch

old man, aged 75 years, and blew open
the eafe. They got only f 140 for their
pains. Mis Ellen Fiitchman, and her
nephew Harry, aged 14, arrived home
from Finleyville while this was going on,
and they were both seized by the men,
bound and gagged, Chris Fiitchman
came home about 11 o'leock, and he
was knocked down, tiel and gagged.
The burglars then ransacked the house
from cellar to garret, and ate and drank
of the best, finally leaving with all the
money they could find. Mr. Fiitch
man succeeded in getting free soon af
ter the men left. There is no clue to
the burglars. The members of the fam
ily are under the care of doctors.

A Fair Mr Us Sad Death.
iliFS Clara Fleming, of Washington,
Pa., was instantly killed while aboard a
Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St Louis car
on Tuesday morning by a boulder which
had ln-en loosened by the rains and fell
from Duquesne Heights, near Iitttburg,
crashing through the car window. Miss
Fleming was a student of Duff's College,
and was coining over to attend her duily
cl.ises. In the same seat with her was
J. F. Donehoo, who is a medical stu
dent. The rock fell just after the train
had pasct.d Toim bridge. It was 20
minutes late and was running East on
the westbound track. Her neck was
broken and her head frightfully crushed.
Mr. Donehoo, who sat next to her, was
uninjured, though the boulder was
thrown on his knees. Frank Oiler and
Miss Mamie IlaMwin also had narrow
escap-S. A Jaime was averted only bv
the presence of mind of the trainmen.
The l-ody of Miss Fleming was taken
to Sampson's undertaking rooms and
prepared for burial. Her relatives at
ashington were notified of the sad ac
cident and as early as ossihle her moth
er, who is a widow and her two younger
brothers arrived in Iittsburg to take
home the remains. During the after
noon nearly 500 students of various col
leges viewed the body.

Ilia Coroner's Verdict.
The jury inquiring into the cause of
the explosion at the Mammoth Mine in
Westmoreland county rendered its ver
dict Friday night. They found that the
eiplion was caused by the accumula
tion of carburetted hydrogen gas in the
lower level or dips of the mine. All the
machinery of the mine was found in
good order. In conclusion the verdict
reads: N
"While we find that the H. C, Friek
Coke Company has not been guilty of
any neglect in providing for the com
fort and the care of their underground
employes and miners, we do protest
against the employment of fire bosses
and j.it lxss-s who are addicted to the
use of malt and spirituous liquors either
when employed or off duty. We also
lielieve that there should be an amend
ment to the mining laws against the
working of mines under water level w ith
any flame or open light, and to comjK-1
the lighting of the same by electricity or
safety lainj. We recommend that no
person lie jtermitted to enter any mine
now oirated in this State, or hereafter
opened, except those whose names or
numlx-r shall lie kept in a lxok or regis
ter at the entrance of the mines,"

"I don't know what the fate of the

evening, 4 -but Congress is voting away
millions for pensions and for other pur
poses, certainly no more worthy than the
relief of the distress at Mammoth. I

They are poorly paid, and as a rule save
nothing out of their wages after support

will do what I can to get my resolution

Clerk Adroitly Cobbed.
Losuoy, Feb. 17. A clerk named
McKenzie, a youth about 17 years of age,
was adroitly robbed yesteaday of a
satchel containing 11,510 in Bank of
England notes of denominations rang
ing from 1,0(0 downward. The thieves
were of genteel appearance, in fact,
rather dudish, and the police believe
that they are expert American criminals,
who have lieen watching young McKen
zie probably for weeks, knowing that he
was entrusted with large amounts of
money, and awaiting their chance to
rob him. They got clean away with the
biggest haul of the kind in this genera
tion. The notes can be easily disposed
of.
