His action is based upon a written opinion by the Attorney General who says tho bill is constitutional. McKiNi.KY tariff ami dull times are not inviting to voters who were promis ed by the Republican party exactly the reverse when they passed the bill that made monopolies and trusts thrive. Sksatok Qi-ay is said to oppose the candidacy of Senator Sherman for the presidency on the ground of inexpedi ency. That is always a good and suffici ent reason in the eyes of the astute polit ical boss. Jiimks MoSAOiiAM. of West Chester, has been appointed Supreme court re porter by Governor l'attison to succeed Boyd Cumrine, whose term has expired. He is a graduate of Lafayette College, a native of Missouri and a member of the Chester count v bar. He is a Democrat. A MAX in New Jersev has been lined $500 for selling copies of the song, "Maggie Murphy's Home." This is not to be taken as an indication of musi cal culture on the part of Jersey men. however. The only fault found with him was that he was violating the copy right law. Fiktkkn" millions of dollars are being taken from the ickets of the American people annually, says the Fhiladclphia ir,m,',l, aud offered as a Ik.uus to those who may venture into the experiment of making tin plate in this country. It is a templing bait ami will unquestionably have the effect f inducing many t try to get a share of it. To be sure, the en terprise is handicapped by tht re U ing no natural advantage for tin manufac ture in the I'nited States. The nu-st c-st ntial article is wanting in the fact that we have no tin; but when the American people are being made to pay so liberally for tho encouragement of the industry, the home manufacturers can afford to import the tin they use, and even the black plates, and make a hand some profit. The big Ik.uus offered is enticing Welsh tin operators to have the original location of their industry and become beneficiaries of the Aniericm system of protection. Two of them, whohavecon cluded to sell out in Wales and transfer their operations to this country, have given their views on tho American tin question in an interview in a Republican paper, in which they scout the idea tliat tin plate can't be made in the I'nited States. Of course it can be made here. I'ut on atai iff high enough to keep all other tin' out increase its price so that with every natural disadvantage there is money to the manufacturer in the mak ing of it, and there is no question that American tin can be made. Rut at what a great and unnecessary expense to the consumers. Would it nut le wiser to let tin be manufactured where nature has furnished the materials, and ex change for it the products of this coun try which require a foreign market? This would le better policy, we think, than to take fifteen million dollars out of the pockets of the people every year to foster an unnatural industrv. As soon as the Republican organs have had their say about the legislative redisricting of New York we trust they will favor the public with a few highly moral reflections on the congressional gerrymander in Ohio, where the Demo crats wore allowed six of the twenty-one Congressmen. Of the delegates elected to the Minne apolis convention, the Washington W prints a li.-t showing over one hundred of MM are federal oilieeholders, while many others are the mere shows of their ottieeholding backers. In the Southern States a majority of the delegates elected are of this character. Thk duties paid on tin plate imported into this country amounted to $1, lis 1,077 during the month of March 1392 accord ing to the report of the treasury depart jnept: Our swaddling tin-plate indus tries are expensive luxuries that the peo ple who use tin have to pay for and the country would be well rid of them Tin: Republican .Senators, savs the New York II'i.j., are determined to pre vent, if jMissible, a vote upon any of the tariff reform bills passed by the House. Their excuse is that "the whole tariff question was thoroughly discussed two years ago." The tariff was, indeed, thoroughly discussed two years ago, and the people condemned the outragious impositions of the Me Ki nicy bill by more than 1, oOO.oon majority. It was disoii.-sed again last year in the three dchat.-ihlc and typical states of New York. Massa chusetts and Iowa, and the voters re peated their verdict in favorof the Demo crats and tariff reduction. For the Republicans Senators to re fuse even a vote on the relief bills passed by the people's representatives now is a defiance and nullification of the popular will. No doubt the fear that all their Sena tors cannot be tru-ted to Vote against some of the bills leads the majority to choose tho policy of smothering them. Rut, whatever the motive, tho duty and tho opportunity of the Democrats in Congress are plain. They should send to the Senate a suifioient number of tax reduction bills to muke perfectly plain the Democratic policy und purpose. They could ask no better issue for the national campaign than will 1.- created by a Republican refusal even to consider bills to reduce the worse than war taxes upon the necessaries of the jeople. Witts future generations shall read the history of American administrations and see among the prominent features of Harrison's Census Rureau that was run in the interest of the politicians, and a Tension Rureau that was managed for the lenefit of the pension sharks, they will give it precedence in the prostitution of the purposes of government. The Mississippi valley was badly Hood ed last week, many persons drowned, thousands of head of live stock were drowned and hundreds of acres of crops ruined. Many families have been ren dered homeless and a large numlier have leen made bankrupt. The situation vas terrible, as the principal railroads Tvere rendered useless by the overflow. The New Jersey Democratic state con vention met at Trenton, on Wednesday, tind after adopting resolutions reaffirm the doctrines in the Democratic plat forms of 1S4 and 1S.S8, denounced the McKinley tariff, and passed a resolution instructing their delegates to support Grover Cleveland in the Chicago con vention as long as he was a candidate. A ci.Eiu.YMAN, Rev. Francis Marsten, was asked to offer prayer in the Ohio legislature and tx-eause he referred to legislators "gathered here in this mael strom of iniquity, fraud and corruption" and to the "briles, brilers and bribe takers in our midst," some of the Re publican memliers became incensed and fancied tliey were proierly angered. These be strange times, indeed. Major Jons D. Woioi.vx, secretary of the Democratic societies of l'ennsyl vania, has issued the following address to the Democratic societies of the state: The Democratic societies impatiently awaits the coming of the battle. Its members believe in the success, tho glory and the grand destiny of our great Keystone State. The Democratic society of Pennsyl vania was not founded lor a single mis sion, which accomplished, left it drifting with no fixed star of principle to guide it. The influence of the past speaks to us in the voice of the present. It lights for measures, not men; the principles of government, not men's character, are to be discussed; a nations policy, not per sonal ambition, is to le determined. We enter the light with a living faith, founded upon principles that are just, enduring as old as tiie nation itself, yet ever young, vigorous and progressive, because there is ever work for it to do. Its greatest good, its highest glory, is that it is, and is to le the people's party. Organize, reunite Democratic societies Wa-hiugton Letter. Washington. D. C. May 21. 192. Mr. Rhone is not playing the role of a political sphinx for fun. He has a pur pose in exhibiting himself every day where fie knows his aplic.irance will be commented upon, and while he refuses to talk ithoiit tlie Republican nomina tion, further than to say he does't want it, he tells every one who calls upon him that he f-vls stronger than at any time for ten years past, and that Ids health is perfect." There is no doubt that his health has greatly improved recently; that is plain to all who see him. and there is good ground for the suspicion that he is perfectly w illing now to accept the nomination if he can get it without saying ln-forehand that he wishes it. His health is not the only reason for his change of mind. -Mrs. l.laine, whose wishes always exercise a powerful in thience over him. has, it is said, made up her mind that she wants him to ac cept the nomination, just to keep it away from Mr. Harrison, whoso wife she w ishes to humble la-cause, ol some real or fancied .-light. The philosopher who said "a woman ;s at the liotloin of everything" was not far out of the way. Senator Hill regards the death of Sen ator Rarbour as a heavy blow to his presidential prospects, as it was undoubt edly to the party at large. A number of prominent artists, here in attendance upon tho first annual meeting of the National Art Association urged tho Ways and Means committee of the House and the Finance commitce of the Senate to report a bill repealing the duty on works of art. The attempts to tack a free coinage amendment to the Sundry Civil Appro priation bill, in the House, wasa failure. The chair Representative Ix-stcr of Georgia ruled them out on ioints of order, aud on appeal the House sustain ed the chair. Tho House adopted the resolution of fered by Representative Roather, calling on the Attorney General for informa tion as to what action, if any, his office had taken toward ascertaining whether the recent Reading railroad combine' had violated the anti-trust law. The fre quency with which resolutions of this sort have of late leen tired at the Attor ney General will probably convince that official that the able Democratic lawyers of the House are carefully watching his ollice, and that mole than a mere pie tense of fighting the trusts is required. 'lrue to the policy of tin- Republican party in legislating for favored classes. Senator Chandler introduced a bill au thorizing Austin Curl -in and his siss.x-1- ates, who propose forming a ,-teams'i company, to obtain American ret: i-try for all vessels of 7, "oil or more ions, having a speed of hot le.-s than niucUcn knots an hour, which may conn- into their possession by purchase or other wise, provided: that the said company shall contract to have built one vessel, of equal tonnage and speed with the h 'reign built vessels, in an American navy yard. Why should this favor l grafted to Millionaire (Vrl.in and his associates and denied to othrs.' When this bill gets to the House an attempt will be made to amend it by striking out the names ard granting the privileges nani' d in the bill to any citizen or citi zens who wish to haw them on the terms prop- sed. Sonic alarm has been created among the Ri publicans who have been doing! lots of shouting about the successful i manner m which the administration secured acceptances from Germany, (heat Riitain, Austria Hungary and Italy to take part in the proposed inter national monetary conference, by iui official letter from the state department informing Secretary Foster, in answer to an inquiry, that not a single acceptance had yet been received from any of the countries to which invitations were sent. Anti-Harrison Republicans are charging that misleading information has Irf-eii purposely given out to help Mr. Harrison secure the nomination. Secretary Foster now wishes he had not been so precipitate in writing that the work on the immigrant station on Kl'.is Islaud would remain a moiiuniout to wisdom long after the critf-ism that had assailed it had passed from the public mind. The chairmen" of the House and enate Immigration Commit tees have sent a letter to the secretary, from which the following is extracted: We suggest that immediate repairs and -trengthening of the main supiort to the upper floor of the maia building at Ellis and le made, in the interest of hu manity, otnerwise the building will not last until the end of the present investi gation, ami it w ill le attended by a great loss of life and destruction of property. Queer sort of a monument to wisdom. Democrats protested in vain against the increase in the nuink'r of new ves sels provided for by the Senate amend ments. The Republicans were deter mined from the first that they should go through, and several Democratic Sena tors voted with them. Senator Vest told them that if they wanted a navy war the surest way to get it was constructing a powerful navy. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report.
