The opening of the World's Fair on
Sunday will be a great blow to that great
and good man, Matthew Stanley Quay.
According to a decision ot the direct

will be open on Sundays on and after
May 21.

Ose of the curious features of the New

years ago. There has been no call lor
them, and they have remained in the
sub-Treasury vaults like ore in a mine
The House on Thursday took action
on the Baker Ballot Bill. Mr. Fow
offered an amendment providing tkat a
a mark must be placed opposite the
name of every candidate voted for. The
change was supported by Uncle John
Cessna, who said it would do away with
all coufusinn, and oposed by Mr. Bur
dick and others. The solid Democratic
strength was cast for the amendmen
and enough Republicans of the reform
element followed the lead of Messrs. Cess
na and Lawrence to carry it through by
a vote of eighty-one to sixty-seven. The
The revised bill then passed second read
ing. It will undoubtedly eventually go
to a conference committee, with great
uncertainty as to what will be done w ith
it there.
The following aie among the bills
passed by the State Legislature last
week:
An act providing that voters in this
commonwealth shall cast their ballot at
polling places inside the election dis
trict in which they are domiciled, and
making it the duty of the courts of quar
ter sessions of the several counties to
carry out the provisions of the same.
An act to regulate and establish the
fees to be charged by justices, alder
men, magistrates and constables in this
commonwealth.
Authorizing the erection and main
tenance of eel weirs and fish baskets in
the rivers of the state for the catching of
eels for a limited period in each year for
a period of four years.
Among the bills approved by the gov
ernor are the following: Making it a
misdemeauor for any person to repre
sent an unauthorized or fictitious insur
ance company in this state; the supple
ment to the act of relating to the super
vision and control of lunatic hospitals;
to authorize the state superintendent of
public instruction to grant permanent
teachers' certificates to graduates of rec
ognized literary and scientific colleges;
to provide for the election, qualification
and compensation of auditors in the in
de(endent school districts of the state.
Governor Pattison has disapproved of
the bill for the printing of the history of
Pennsylvania birds and mammals in the
quarterly reports of the State Board of
Agriculture, and the same has been sus
tained. The constitutionality of the Geary
Chinese Exclusion and Registration act
has been affirmed by the United States
Supreme Court, Justices Brewer, . Field
and Fuller dissenting. It now becomes
the duty of the government to deport the
Chinese who have not registered. Ac
cording to the last census there were
107,475 Chinese in the United States.
Not more than 5000 are registered. To
arrest and return the rest to China
would cost an enormous sum, probably
not less than ,000,000. At a discus
sion of the question in cabinet on Tues
day, it is said, it was decided thai noth
ing can le done until Congress shall ap
propriate the money. The probabilities
are that Congiess will repeal the law, for,
as Justice Feld very justly on the bench
declared, "the law is inhuman and bru
tal, as well as unconstitutional," it being
entirely contrary to the spirit ot our
o veru lueui.
The bituminous and anthracite coal
regions of Pennsylvania, says the Pitts
burg I'cxst, are divided into eight dis
tricts, each district being in charge of an
inspector selected after competitive ex
amination and commissioned by the
governor four years. Their reports 'for
the year 1892 made to the Secretary of
Internal Affairs at Ilarrisburg cover the
coal production, as reported to the in
spectors by the operators, the condition
of the mines and the number of acci
dents, fatal and otherwise. This last
item covers a terrible bill of mortality,
and 6hows at what expense to life and
limb tke mining operations of the state
are conducted. Two anthracite aud two
bituminous inspectors fail to give the
number of accidents in a definite way,
but allowing for them we fin-1 that last
year about 400 miners were killed in an
thracite mining and 130 in bituminous,
or 530 altogether, with about double
this number of persons more or less in
jured and many of them seriously, being
made cripples or helpless for life.
There is a general agreement on the
part of the inspectors that the accidents
in the mines are largely due to the igno
rance or carelessness of the foreign min
ers employed. Stated in another way,
this 6imply means that discarding ex
perienced and skilled labor in favor of
eheaner, ignorant and reckless labor is
the cause of a great majority of these ac
cidents. But this does not affect the
coal corporations. When a mule is
killed the money loss appears on their
looks, but when human life is sacrificed
to greed and indifference it does not fig
ure in the profit and loss account. The
number of fatal accidents in the great
industries of Pennsylvania is growing
year by year, and if the total in the
mining, manufacturing and railroad
operations could be accurately ascertain
ed, with some pertinent facts as to the
number from preventable causes, the ba
sis would be laid for legislation that is
demanded in the interest of common
humanity. There is a secretiveness
about such matters that is suggestive if
not suspicious. Over rive hundred killed
and over one thousand in lured in the
mines of the State in one year is a terri
ble record.
The Chinese ex pulsion act of Congress,
just declared constitutional by the Su
preme Court of the United States, says
the Philadelphia Titan, is one of the
most disgraceful laws that ever found its
way into the statutes of the nation. It
is at war with the whole genius of our
institutions and is a reproach to the en
lightened civilization of the evening of
the nineteenth century.
It will do much to teach disrespect for
law by the fact that it will not, and can
not, le executed. First of all, there is no
money to execute it. There are fully
100,000 Chinese residents who are not
registered' and would cost six millions or
more to send them home, as the law-
commands.
Out in some of the Pacific Coast states
where the hoodlum element controls
politics' the law may be partially en
forced; but it will be practically a dead
letter in three fourths the states of the
Union. The Chinese are wanted every
where in service that interferes little
with legitimate American labor, and
only where the sand-letters rule will there
be systematic effotrs to force their de
portation.
And now suppose that Cninese retail
ation comes, what then? If we drive
from our midst the Chinese laborer -ho
has found his way uuder the severe laws
for his exclusion, what complaint could
we make against China decreeing to de
portation every American merchant or
missionary trading with or teaching the
people of the Flowery Kingdom?
Of course. China is weak as a war pow
er and we could devastate her coast and
whip her into submission; but the Uni
ted States cannot with impunity defy the
considerate judgment of the civilized
world. There Ls little likelihood of the
early repeal of this disgraceful statue,
but it is probable that it will be allowed
to 6tand, like the old fugitive slave laws,
as unexecuted because it is an affront to
humanity and justice.
The sentiment in favor of pensioning
the common pleas and Supreme judges
of Pennsylvania, after a certain term of
service, says the Pittsburg JW, seems to
he confined to the Philadelphia papers.
They are very persistent this state shall
make a commencement in the direction
of a civil pension list, although every
one of them stands ready to bear testi
mony to the evils and abuses that cling
to the federal pension system. There is
no sentiment in any other part of the
State than Philadelphia in favor of judi
cial pension system. It will not meet
the approval of the people, aud legisla
tors will do well to bear in mind this
fact. While the whole country is hu
miliated and oppressed by the abuses of
the federal pension system, it is an un
warranted assumption that in this state
we are ready to make a commencement
in a civil pension list. There is justifi
cation for pensions for military services,
but none for pensions for ciTil services.
It is against the policy of our govern
ment from its start.
Some newspapers are already begin
ning to figure out that the World's Fair
will not iwy. The operating expenses
per day is estimated at $45,000. Dur
ing the first week the paid admissions
averaged f 16,000 per day. To pay all
expenses the daily receipts from admis
sions must average fS2,000. This
means an attendance of 164,000 people.
Whence is this vast and constant army
of sight-seers to come from? Here is a
rub and unless the affair is better patron
ized it will be a failure.
The Act of Assembly published in an
other column which prohibits the pay
ment of the expenses of naturalization
by political organizations and candidates
for office, is a good law and should have
been passed long ago. The Act passed
both Houses and became a law on Thurs
day of last week when the signature of
Governor IVuUitiua was ailikod to U.
Washington Letter.
Washington. D. C. May IS, 13.
President Cleveland has this week Urn
able to devote more of his time t' im
portant public matters than in any sin
gle week since his inauguration, owing
to his having stpea me practice oi
granting liersonal interviews to appli
cants for Presidential jmsitions; but it
has leen just the reverse with memlers
of bis cabinet; they have so many c.ill
eis that ihey have had to devote almost
their entire time to them, and unless
there is a "let up" they will le conq.elIed
to follow the President's example and
dec-line seeing applicants for oHice.
Those who pretend to In? shocked at what
they are pleased to call the President s
innovation have short memories, as he
did precisely the same thing in Oclolier,
ISSo. It would be advantageous to ap
plicants for places if members of the cab
inet would also refuse to see applicants
for then they would have a chance to
look over the papers on lile and make
recommendations to the President, thus
hastening appointments. It is because
Republicans know this that thev are
trying so hard to create a public senti
ment in favor of Unlimited iersonal in
terviews; the longer the heads of the de
partments are kept away from the pa
pers on file, by callers, the longer the
big offices will be tilled by Republicans.
See?
The Weather Bureau investigation has
closed and General Colbv is now at work
on the testimony, upon which his re
port will be based. What that reort
will reccommendyour corresjioinlent lias
uo means of knowing, but the eviiieiiee
will certainly justify a general shake-up
of the bureau from top to lUon, and it
is altogether probable that Secretary
Morton will see that it gets it. Inle
nothing alsolutelv criminal was proven
against prominent officials, a state of af
fairs was shown to exist that calls loud
ly for a change.
Secretary Herlert has correct and
thoroughly IK'inocratic ideas uImiiiI the
relations that should exist U-lwecn na
val officers and the U. S. Government,
as his order that no more leaves of ab
sense le granted naval otlieers for tlie
puroseof allowing them to enter private
employ fully proves. This practice, like
many other questionable ones, is of Re
publican origin, and has grown into al
most a scandal. Under it naval officers
who have acquired sjiecial knowledge
along certain lines after loiigtudy at gov
ernment exjiense, have secured leaves of
abrtence, in some cases for as long as
four years, on two-thirds pay, in order
that they might se ll theirsiM-cia! knowl
edge to the highest bidder among tin'
to whom it would lethe most valuable
the contractors w ho do business with the
Navy department. Secretary llerU-rl
says that hereafter when any naval offi
cer desires to accept private employment
he must resigu his commi-vMoii l-foredo-ing
so, and every good IKimxrat will
say amen!
So many complaints of one kind and
another have leen received by Sec retary
Carlisle about the adminL-traiion of the
New York custom-house that he has de
termined to have it thoroughly investi
gated from top to bottom, and has se
lected the following gentlemen to do it:
ex-Secretary Fairchild, of New York
city; Hon. Daniel Magone, of Ogdeiis
burg, N. Y., and Hon. Poindexter Dunn,
of Arkansas.
It is significant thatUon the very day
Judge Lochren, the new Conmisiom-r
of Pensions, took personal charge of the
Pension Bureau that frauds aggregating
something like i 100. 000 t-hould have
been exposed. And still more signill
cant that all of these frauds obtained
pensions through a single attorney W.
R. Drewry, of Norfolk, Ya. That hun
dreds of similar cases will be unearthed
is the general U'luf here. Judge IahIi
ren is of the opinion that the amount
paid out for pensions can 1k largely re
duced without depriving any man of
what is justly and legally his and with
out changing the laws, and he prooses
to demonstrate the correctness of that
opinion.
A numlier of prominent Democrats,
headed by Representative Byniim. of
Indiana, are endeavoring to wrsiiale
President Cleveland to call the extra w-s-sion
in June, instead of Scptemlier. The
argument of these gentlemen is that
September is the most unhealthy month
in the year in Washington, malaria le
ing worse than at any other time. They
say that if Congress comt-s together in
June the House can erfect its organi
zagion and the committees get dow n to
work before the hottest weather of the
summer conies and then a recess can le
taken to the first of October, escaping
the malarial season.
The constitutionality of the Geary
Chinese exclusion act is now liefore the
Supreme court, which heard the argu
ment this week and will probably an
nounce its decision inside of a week.
Solicitor General Aldrich represented the
government and Messrs. Joseph t'hoate,

Denver, Col., May 15. Governor
Waite has transmitted a communication
to President Cleveland relating to the re
cent Indian troubles in which he recites
in very plain language the causes that
have led to the recent outbreaks and di
rectly charges the Indian agents with
negligence and inconijetency : He says:
"From the Ix-st information I can get
the outbreak in New Mexico was the re
sult of abuse and insults hv drunken and
renegade Indians. The periodical trou
bles in Colorado result from the fact that
the Indians are allowed by the United
States Indian agents to wander away
from their reservation."
Governor Waite also says that the In-,
dians as well as the government are lad
ing systematically rohled by some of
the agents, ami this, in his opinion, ac
counts for all the trouble that has arisen.
