Qi'ay and Dudley have resigned as
memlters of the National Republican
committee. Secretary Noble La-" resigned
as head of the Interior Department, and
Joel B. Erhardt, Collector of the port of
Is'ew Yor'i, last week flung his resigna
tion in the face of President Harrison.
It Is said that instinct teaches rats to
eaV a ship when on the verge of sink
ing. The next change in lresident Harri
son's Cabinet will lv the retirement of
Secretary Noble from the head of the
Interior Department. Mr. Noble sent
his resignation to President Harrison
four months ago. This information is
from official sources and it is correct.
The reason the secretary assigns for giv
ing up his portfolio is the condition of
his health.
Hioii tariffs were imposed says the
Harrisburg Patriut so that manufac turers
might be enabled to pay the differences
between the wages of Europe and Amer
ica and successfully compete with the
foreign manufacturers. It was said that
this difference would go into the pockets
of the workingmen and not those of the
manufacturers. Yet the fat is being
fried out Pennsylvania manufacturers,
who, a distinguished Republican says,
"receive the chief benefits of the tariff
system." The manufacturer insures his
profits and his campaign contributions
by in turn frying tjie fat out of his em
ployees. That is what the tariff system
was created for.
"I bki.ievk the most threatening figure

born of Government terversion. It
hides beneath its wings the Itotrayal of
the teople's trust and holds powerless in
its fascinating glance the teople's will
and conscience. Its further and most
lamentable effect is to be seen in the
readiness of the masses of our people,
who are not dishonest, but only heedless,
to accustom themselves to that derelic-

tribute forty centa to the expenses of

estly spent.
That a nation can tax itself rich and by

is only understood by the beueficiaries
of the injustice. It may give a man

that the proper person to spend a dollar

No one will object to an honest pen
sion bill, liberally pensioning veterans
honestly entitled to receive the govern
ment's bounty but when it comes to
looting the treasury under the name of
patriotism, it is time to call a halt.

known to be frauds and it should be
the duty of honest and deserving pen
sioners to denounce the laws that waste
on the scalawags what should only be
long to the honest veterans.
Ses.vtoh Quay's emphatic assertions
that Blaine will be elected if nominated,
and the fact that it is an open secret that
a majority of the National Committee is
opposed to Harrison, says the Philadel
phia Herald makes a rcnomination for
the Indiana man extremely improbable.
It is daily becoming more evident that
there is a serious break between the
President and the Premier. In all the
conflicting reports about Blaine's illness,
not one word of inquiry or anxiety has
came from the President. Harrison has
shown no disposition to visit the Secre-
tary, and feels utterly oblivious to his
ctm(Udori. The President's plea that he
needs rest will not deceive Blaine's
friends. Most of the President's time
since Congress adjourned has been passed
in the visit to the Far West and the Cape
May Point. Certainly, neither weie very
trying to either the body or the brain,
and it he felt any inclination to ascertain
for himself the real condition of the
Secretary of state the distance to Bar
Harbor would not be sufficient to keep a
real friend from the side of the sick
Premier.
That the President and Mr. Blaine are
not on the best of terms is very evident.
Aad it is also very apparent that the
Harrison second term boom will receive
no impetus from the practical politicians
who run the Republican National Com
mittee. Governor Pattison has sent a letter to
Secretary of the Treasury Foster setting
forth the loss to the state and city of
Philadelphia through the failure of the
Keystone National bank and requesting
that the receiver of the bank be author
ized to permit the Governor to appoint a
committee of three or five experts to ex
amine the Ltooks and papers, accounts,
etc., of the liank with a view of receiv
ing, if possible, the money of the com
monwealth. The Governor suggests that
the authority for the examination be
limited to the funds passing through the
hands of John Bardsley as the treasurei
of Philadelphia and ageut of the com
monwealth. The letter states that asan
examination is being made into the ac
counts Ly experts designated by Mayor
Stewart and the Philadelphia council
committee, the Governor thinks that a
like investigation should 1 made on be
half of the commonwealth so that he
may obtain the desired information as
easily as possible and in the manner in
dicated. Ik it lie a lienefit as undoubtedly it
is to South America, Cuba and San
Dwmingo to be relieved from tariff taxes
on staple necessaries of their people, says
the New York H'orM, why would not the
same amount of free trade benefit the
United States? If the tariff be not a tax
on consumers, why are these foreign
people congratulated on getting Ameri
can products free of duty? Are foreign
ers better than our own teople that they
should lie relieved by American diplo
macy of tariff burdens, while our own
duties are heaped 33 per cent, higher?
If a limited free trade with our poorest
customers is so great a gain, would not a
freer trade with' our richer, greater and
far better customers Ite a more desirable
thing? These questions concern the
teople.

t "Help me Caesius, or I Fink" was the
t substance of a communication from Mr.
j McKinley. of Ohio, to the National Ex

"party, which met here this week. The

the iie was up with both himself and
the Iecislature in that state. He is also
said to have suggested that the commit-.
tee might easily raise the money by put
ting the screws on the manufacturers
specially benefitted by his tariff bill.
And that was not the only appeal for
money presented to thecomniittee. Mr.
Clarkson told his colleagues that unless
a good sized barrel of cash was rolled in-
to Iowa that htate would take its place
rnnimentlv in the Democratic column.
and Secretary Fassett presented bills for
a considerable amount left unpaid from
last . vears disastrous campaign. But
these were minor things and excited but
little interest compared with the resign
ation of Quay, not only as chairman of
the two committees, but as a member
of the National committee; and the re
signation of Dudley as Treasurer of
ttoth committees. 1 here was a pood
deal of pretended regret at being com-
pelled to accept these resignations, and
high-flying resolutions were adopted re
ferring to both of them, which will pro
bably be regarded by the retiring officials
as "vindications'. -
Mr. Harrison tried to stem the Blaine
tide which controls the Republican com
mittee by appointing one of its mem
bers J. Sloat Fassett.of New York to be
collector of the port of New York in
place of Lrnhardt whose resignation has
I een accepted. Harmony of the mon
key and parrot kind is prevalent in the
Treasury department just now. At
least three of Secretary .Foster's most
important subordinates would hail with
pleasure the news that he had resigned,
and they would resign themselves if it
wasn't for the fact of their having to
give up their salaries if they did. The
subordinates mentioned are Assistant
Secretary Crousc, Treasurer Nebeker and
Immigration Commissioner Owens, all
of whom are recent arrivals at the Gov
ernment trough. The trouble with the
first two is that Mr. Foster, with the
warning of the Rauin case fresh in - his
mind, refused to allow them to appoint

Members of the administration have
already began to discuss the ways and
means of raising the money that it will
be alisolutely necessary to have in the
near future to meet pension payments
under the present laws. Some sort of a
new tax has got to be imposed, and the
most of them seem . inclined to put it
upon whiskey by raising the revenue
from 90 cents per gallon to something
lietween $1.20 and $1.50 per gallon.
However, all that the administration
can do is to make suggestions; the Dem
ocratic House of Representatives will
determine what shall be done.
Senator Sherman's friends arc trying
hard to make it appear that they look
lightly npon the opposition of the Farm
er's Alliance to his re-election, but in
reality they regard it as such a serious
matter t.lat unless they can succeed in
patching up some sort of a reconcilia
tion before long one of them said that
Sherman would be compelled to with
draw in order to save himself the ig
noniy of defeat.
Had Mr. Harrison been able to circu

would certainly have arrived at the con-

Isaac Sawtelle, the notorious New
Hampshire murderer, must hang. On
Friday the Sepreme Court, in full bench
overruled all the prisoner's exceptions,
which were, prejudiced jury, previously
expressed opinions, and lack of jurisdic

brother into New Hampshire, by report

intercepting and murdering him on the
way, in order to inherit his property.
The evidence was largely circumstantial.
The alleged body of the murdered man
never was satisfactory identified, because

nothing but enormus crops. The grain
is late, and harvesting will not be general
throughout North Dakota until the 15th

that need 1 feared are too much rain
and early frost. Think Minnesota and

It is evident that some of the mining
and manufacturing corporations in this
state which keep what workingmen ex
pressively descrilte as "iltick-ne stors"
are preparing to evade the new law for
the suppression of this abuse. The
Wood-Morrell store at Johnstown the
model of all these "plundering institu
tions has taken the alias of the Penn
Tariff Company, and propjees to contin-
ue its old 'methods in the interest of the
Cumbria Iron Company. Mr. James

tion in western Pennsylvania, savs of
one of the coal corporations that "they
have lately shown a determinate n o

to have the men notified in their homes
that they must spend more of their earn
ings in the company store

and again denounced this ahuse it is
hardly necessary to dwell upon the cant-
ing pretexts by which the spoliation is
.defended.' The corporation store owners.
who consult only their greed, set them
selves up as Special Providences whose
mission it is to protect workingmen
against , the consequences of their own
extravagance by means of a system which
prevents them from expending money
for beer and for indulgence in vice. Yet
this insidious system not merely filches
j the earnings of honest labor, but it en-
genders habits of extravagance, waste and
improvidence in workingmen and their
families. Economy and thrift are out
of the question when the pass-book and
the company store order for payment of
wages in truck constitute the only cur
rency in circulation among workingmen.
When an employe does not spend his
earnings at the company store, and de
mands payment in cash at the end of the
month, a pretext is soon found to get rid
of him. A few such , examples of thrift
around a coal operation or an iron es
tablishment with the "pluck-me-store"
attachment would be fatal to the success
of the system. What the companies
operating these stores want are work
ingmen who take orders in payment of
wages and ask uo annoying questions
about current market rates for commod
ities. Hitherto the Courts in Pennsylvania
liave refused to enforce legislation to
suppress this company store abuse, on
the ground that it would interfere with
the right of private contract; and on this
ground the effort will be made to defeat
t,1'0" f,tbe J"'

Yet the
rlish Courts, from which we derive so
"iucii vi oui jurifpruucuce cm wiuj aim
kindred subjects, have, for reasons of
J lh.c P0'1
Parliament
against the "pluck-me
stores." The Courts of Pennsylvania
will not, for the same reason, enforce a
contract to pay a lx-t or a gambling debt,
or a liquor bill. The Supreme Court of
this state has found nodithculty in affirm
ing the law which, in the exercise of the
police tower, was passed to prohibit the
manufacture and sale of oleomargarine.
Yet the same Court has held that this
power may not le exercised by the Legis
lature to suppress an abuse and iniquity
so flagrantly violative of sound policy as
the "pluck-me store system.
Since the latest decision on this subject
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has
undergone some change in its personnel,
and the new law has been somewhat
altered in form, if not in spirit, for the
sake of overcoming judicial ' doubts.
Hence it is not improbable that the
latest legislative effort to stamp out the
company store iniquity will be sustained
in the Courts. But of no less importance
is the attire of the workingmen of
Pennsylvania who have Iteen made the
victims of this abuse. If they should
connive with the employing corporations
to evade the law a judicial decision in its
favor would be of small utility. After
all, the workingmen themselves have a
more potential means of suppressing
this evil than can be found in a mere
statute. If they should sustain each
other in refusing to accept aught but
cash in payment of wages the company
Store for filching thoir earnings would
soon become as unprofitable as it is odi
ous and iniquitous. J'lultu Recvrd.

the next term of court for the murder of

Longstrcet in the lead and won with ease
by ten lengths. Time, 5:073,'.
