TlIK last legislature passed a bill
changing the manner of making the
Registry -of voters and the law was ap
proved by Governor l'attison on Friday
of last week. As the Registry liooks art"
now in the hands of the assessors, who
are at work making out the Regi.-try
lists it would be well for the assessors to
stop work on them until thev receive
some further institu tions from the Com-
missioners, which they will send out as
soon as a copy of the law is received.
What, Says the Harrisburg Slur, has
the legislature done for the toilers of the
State? Let us see. The anti-Pinkerton
bill was defeated, so were the bills to re
vise the bituminous mine laws; to pro
hibit dockage robbery; to abolish com
pulsory railroad relief funds; to provide
for the examination of miners in the
bituminous regions; the checkweigh
man's measure; the employers' liability
bill and the mechanics' lien bill.
What are the workingmen going to
do about it ?
The general opinion that national
banks are much safer depositories than
private banks receives a severe set-back
when we learn from the evidence taken
in the case of the rotten Keystone bank
of Philadelphia, that the ofliciais of the
United States Treasury Department at
Washington, knew of the crookedness
in the bank ninety days before the col
lapse, and yet during that time the bank
was permitted to keep open and scoop in
the innocent depositors while probably
tome favored few were given the tip to
get their money out. The investigation
of the Keystone bank failure has devel
oped more crookedness to the Square
inch than that of any other institution
we ever read of.
Govkksor Pattison's anger has Ix-en
aroused by the gross carelessness of the
state officials in making it ossible for
City Treasurer Rardslcy, of Philadelphia,
to embezzle almost a million dollars of
money In-longing to the state. If the
auditor general had insisted upon Rard
eley making his settlements with the
ftate at the times prescriled by law, the
theft could not have taken place. The
Governor susjk'. ts that there are other
delinquents, ami he has accordingly de
manded of the anditar general state
ments "showing the amounts due the
commonwealth for taxes, licenses, Ac,
for the years and 1M0 and whic h
yet remain unpaid," There will U
music in the air if this investigation un
covers any other rascals.
Thkkk is a strong impression on the
part of well informed jx-rsons in official
circles at Washington that while Secre
tary Noble is not going to leave the pub
lic service they would not be surprised if
in a very short time he would retire
from the interior department to accept a
prominent place in the diplomatic ser
vice. One story Ls to the effect that he
will take Minister Smith's place at St.
ietersburg. Another and more proba
ble story is that if Secretary Porter
Should le elected to succeed Senator Kd
munds, which now seems certain, Min
ister Lincoln will le made secretary of
war, and Secretary Xoble will U sent to
the court of St. James. Secretary Noble
still absent, but there are those in his
department who believe that he will not
much longer oecHpy his present iosi-tion.

Keep the supreme issue well to the

masses of the jw-ople is a task preat
enough for any party to undertake.. It

Tmkkk is no state in the Union says
the Baltimore Smt in which the "pnu'ti
cal politician has had more swing than
in Pennsylvania. With the exception
ot an occasional spasm of popular indig
nation, as in the two elections of Gov
ernor l'attison, the machine" has had
everything in its own hands, and the re
sult is seen in the legislature which f-ns
practically nullified the topular will in
its demand for various reforms, and in
the loss of nearly a million of the state's
money, lesides large sums belonging to
the city of Philadelphia, owing to the
jicculiar "tinancering" in the office of
the City Treasury of Philadelphia. If
voters need no object lesson to convince
them of the waste and folly of submis
sion to ring xlitics. they have only to
study the political history of Pennsylva
nia, and its chief city, Philadelphia, for
the pat twenty-fne or thirty years.
There ring rule h:is U-en reduced to a
s-cience. and as its opportunities have
lecii greater than here in Maryland

pregnable system. If there is any good
in practical" jnilitics it surely ought
to show itself under such conditions, but
the a'tual results are tuch as to make
an honest Pennsylvania:! blush for
shame. A- in Maryland, the iniquity
of ring rule has culminated in the down
fall of a tru.-tcd Treasurer, whne name
was a synonym for honesty, and the de
ficiency of considerably over a million
in whose accounts could only have been
jossibIe by the connivance- or neglect of
party associates.
Ox .Monday (iovernor l'attison approv
ed a number of bills passed by recent
legislature, among them the following:
Permitting Justices of the Peace to use a
seal of office; granting divorces when
either party h:is IVen convicted of for
gery or any infamous crime; to prevent
persons from unlawful wearing of the
insignia of the Ixval legion and the
badges of the Grand Army of the Rep
ublic and the shield of the Veterans'
Union legion; appropriations for memo
rial tablet for the Twenty-sixth Pennsyl
vania Emergency Regiment at Gettys
burg; appropriation for salaries of offi
cers in the Pennsylvania Reform School
at M organza; appropriation for the re
formatory at Huntingdon; appropriation
for the State Hospital in the middle coal
field; regulating the standard weight of a
bushel of iotates; making an appropria
tion to the Cottage State Hospital for in
jured iersous of the bituminous and
semi- bituminous coal regions at Philips
burg, Centre county; making an ap
propriation towards the maintenance of
the Pennsylvania nautical school ship.
Asskxko is the third plank of the
platform adopted by the recent Demo
cratic state convention of Kentucky:
W e insist that tariff reform is the par
amount issue lefore the American peo
ple and denounce the McKinley bill as
the most outrageous measure of taxation
ever proposed in the American Con
gress. It has increased the burdens,
already too great, upon the necessaries
of life and reduced taxes on luxuries
that are most able to lear them. It
has made existence even harder for the
farmer and wage-earner in the land, in
order that the profits of tho monopolies
and trusts may bo increased. It robs
the many to enrich the few, and Mies
not open a market for a single bushel of
w heat or a single barrel of itork.' In con
trast with it the policy of Grov'er Cleve
land and John G. Carlisle would discour
age unnecessary expenditures, provide
all needed revenues, cheapen what we
buy and cien the markets of the world
to the pn duc ts of our farms and factor
ies." The Department of State has received
its first official information relative to
the attempted uprising against the IPyp
polite Government in Haiti. This in
formation was contained in a brief dis
patch from United States Minister Doug
lass, which stated that a revolution had
been atte mpted, but that it had been
suppressed.
Washington Letter.
Wxmiinc.tos. D. C. May
Mr. Harrison has at last, it is said,
braced up his backbone sufficiently to
inform CommisicMer of Pensions Rauni
that he must hand in his resignation as
soon jis anothM man can le found with
8 me po!iti-:d pull who is willing to tike
the place. Raiim did the grand kick
act, and h:s not ye t consented to resign,
saving tnat he prefers ing dismissed;
but he'll change his mind. They all do
that way. When TnT was asked for
his resignation he sre that he wcaild
ne ver urite it. but We did all the same.
It'sv?y to talkaUrtrt Wing kicked, but
when the big lioUnailed foot Ls nL-l
Uk'V all get out of cue way if jKssib!e.
Just as might lnve tieen expected, me j
alleged attempt ' legin criminal jrv
ccvlings against young Raum and his
partners in office selling has already
practically petered out, ami the District
attorney, a Republican of course, haf:
la-gun to hint alxait the difficulty of se
curing the necessary proof to convict
'Raum or any of his pals, and the
lessness of bringing the case In-fore the
grand jury. It is always difficult t-1o
that which we uo not w ish to do.
By the way, speaking of Pension XH-
hce matters, there was quite a farce
played there this week. A man was
tried for lorrowing money, and -Commissioner
Raum, the man wbo ac
knowledged under oath that lte had
boi row ed $12.(KK from the king of the
pension sharks, was one of tlie judges.
Ye gods, think of that. It was certainly
the acme of absurdity. Of course the
lxtrrower was acquitted, but a victim
had to Ik? found, so the fellow tcho got
the loan for him from a Washington
ten per center was found, to 1h too
lcxse in his ideas of the amount -of in
terest that ought to le charged for ac
commodation loans, and was according
ly dismissed in disgrace from the Gov
ernment service. There are piles and
piles of crookedness all over the Pension
bureau awaiting the arguscyeof a Jeni
ocratie Congressional investigating com
mittee. Secretary Proctor having given the
War department several nmHecutive
days of his valuable time has iww gone
back to Vermont to put in jdut ten
lays in looking after his private busi
ness. If it le true, as is generally lx-lievc-d
here, that the instructions telegraphed
the revenue cutters Rush and Bear as to
the part they should take in the present
sealing season in Bering Sea, are prati
cally the same as those issued t them
last season to pretend to watch, but
at the same time to le very careful nev
er to see any illegal sealing Mr.
Blaine must feel very thankful that he
was not here when they were issued.
The Attorney General has gone to the
rescue of the Secretary of the Treasury,
to a limited extent, by deciding that tle
last named orlicial has authority to issue
silver certificates against the S I ,NA,fMX
seigniorage that has been accumulated
by the coinage of bullion. Mr. Fester
has also, it is said, arrive! at the conclu
sion that he can issue silver certificates
against tthe ?20,fHH.(HM) in fractional
silver that he has lieen unsuccessfully
trying to put into circulation for sever
al weeks past. Tin e are the methods
by which the administration hojH-s to
stave off that much dreaded deficit.
Mr. Harrison must have leen re
minded of the Conkling-Gartield trou
ble this week when ex -Sena tors Piatt
and Miller, of New York, each sup;ort
ed by a dozen or more friends, invaded
the White House to engage in a fight
over the appraisership of the port of new
York. Mr. Harrison finally succeeded
in making Secretary Foster temorary
re feree of the e ontest, and he got rid of
the gang by promising to come over to
New York and look into things lefore
making any decision. When that .de
cision is made, the side that gets left
will jump on Mr. Harrison for satisfac
tion, and he will wish, as many another
President has. that there were no Feder
al ofliee-s in New York.
Representative T. J. Camplell, of
New York, win) is now here, is authority
for a statement that will have a very
imjiortant liearing upon the Seaker
ship contest if he is not mistaken. He
says that it has been decided that the
twenty-three Democratic votes which
New York will have in the next House
will le cast as a unit in the vote for
SjH'aker. The candidate who is to re
ceive thc-se twenty-three votes has not
lieen decided upon, and will not le un
til a conference is held; but Mr. Camp
lell is certain that the delegation will
select the winner.

Wkst Chester, Pa., June 3. Mrs.
Blanche Woodward Young, pretty wid
ow of J. Norris Young whose death by
poison has leen conclusively shown by
Dr. Formad, is a prisoner in the hands
of the law, charged with deliUrately
causing the death of her husband.
When the wairant was served on her for
the first time since the husband's death
death, Blanche broke down and sob
ben convulsively, protesting her inno
cence, and frantically imploring the
officer not to take her to prison.
The testiniany, as produce! before the
justice, showed a very- unhappy state of
affairs in the Young household. They
had loth openly expressed dissatisfaction
with each other. She had said she
"would fix him," or made similar
threats, and he had vilely cursed her in
the presence of others. The defence
claimed that the death was due to chol
era morbus, and that the malady pro
ved fatal Ix-cause of the ignorance of his
doctor, who was no doctor at all.

Treasurer's office this morning.
Counsel for Mr. Oellers and Mr.

right to fill a vacancy in the office of
City Treasurer the Governor or City
Councils will U formeily brought lie

West Cjikstek, May 81. Mrs. Lafay
ette Pyle, of this place, was tierha'ps
fatally shot by her brother, ayoungmau
named Walters while he was hunting
ground-hogs close to Long Wood ceme
tery, near Kennet Spuare. . Mrs. Pyle
and her husband had gone to the ceme
tery to visit the graves of friends and
without their presetu-e being known
there by her brother, he disc harged his
rifle at a ground-hog and the ball took
effect in the breast of his sister who is
about thirty years of age. She was tak
en to a house near by and medical aid
was summoned, but to a late hour this
afternoon the bullet had not lieen locat

be of a very critically nature.
The Tin rial Liars. '
The tariff painter says that fof the
first four month of this year Great Brit
ain exported t this country jK.SSS.SoS
wertn of tin plate as against 1,2o6,6ViO
in the first ur months of IS;'. This
increase, the picture eays, was due to
the desire to get as much as possible into
the country tiefore the tin jvUte schedule
of the pcxv tariff bill shall Kvome effec
tive. The tariff man seems to have forgot
ten "mat tariff papers sav American
manufacturers are supplying the market
anil that we have w use for Knglisli
plate. The expertsf this artic le should
hr.vo fallen eiff, ratiier than have increas-
d, owing to tic- fact that the Welsh
manufactories have shut down for want
-if a market iu this country, if the stone
te.ld by RetaiFilicans were true. But
thev were not exactly true; in fact, the
tariff iminter 'depicts them in their true
e-olors when ie paint an increase iu ex
jiorts. He v'rtually illustrates te the
country tluit the Republican pajiers
were lying when they said the Ameri
can factories were supplying the market
with tin plate cheaper than the foreign
article. He has told who are the tin
plate liars.
He also told the truth when Ik? said
as much as possible is U ing brought into
the country to save the ine-reased tariff.
This plate" will be put upon the market
after -July 1. It may prevent an in
crease in price on and for a short time
after that date. If there is then n in
crease that fart will be hearlded as a refu
tation of arguments that prices would be
enhanced by the new tariff. The sup
ply, however, will not last long and when
it shall be exhausted we can we the true
effect of the tariff. The 10x15 "tin
plate manufactory" owned by Mr. Nied-
nng and simitar ones to te lauu y
other gentlemen will not le able to sup
ply home consumers with tin, tin,
American tin, and these importations
will lie resumed.
In the meantime the picture nuui has
pointed out the liars and branded tlieni
as disseminators of outrageous falsehoods.

Did tjuay and lielamater Figure on it !
SupiKise tteorge Wallace Delaniater,
of Meadville, had lieen elected governor
of Pennsylvania last fall would not his
indictment for embezzlement lie a pretty
scandal now ?
Uut the chances are that if he had
lieen elected the rich protec ted monop
Pen
olists r.f the lie-publican party in
nsylvania would have been comnelled,
for the sake of the party, to make up a
purse of a million to pay Delaruater's
debts. Who can say that this did not
enter into Delamater's calculation in
seeking the nomination, and into Quay's
in securing it for him?"
The Republican monev-bags probably
now congratulate themselves on his de- j
feat; but they and their party cannot es-
cape moral responsibility for him. If
they did not select him, they certainly
tried to do so, and the failure was due to
the revolt of the plain honest people and
not to any virtue in the leaders and
purseholders of the party.

nificently coiistriic-u-d railroad in tin-world
This is the- Mexican tiulf road, uii-re tin
tie arc made out of the; finest mahogany,
the bridges built of marble. The waste
seems criminal, but the builders an- actu
ates! by motives of economy, as they (ind
i the mahogany and marble along the track-
side. The road has really not crst much to
construct, but if the material were ap
praised at standard price-s the total would
mount tip to millions.

pensable minimum of ideas, he shuts him
self in his study, brightened slightly by a
soft light from
a four-cornered white paper
lantern. He has before him a polished

With the aid of these; implements the nov
