Although the New York, st t: 1 tors declined to talk, it is un derstood the nomination is distasteful to them, hut that they would have heen glad to have seen the name of the hroth er sent in for the place. The indica tions seem to he that the Hornhlower struggle will lc renewed against this nominee. Tins year, says the J.ellef.inte Y,i), l, -limn, the Fchruary election will have in troduced into it an element that will lie entirely new to voter-!. For the first ti me in the his-lury of the state w ill they be called Upon todeteriiiine a state ques tion at a township and horough election. Kv cry hotly of intelligence knows that the Ki pul. In an party is responsihle for this irregularity hy reason of its uncon stitutional nniissiK -s in not properly re apportioning the state; and the same party that has heen guilty of this fault, w ill endeavor to make this irregular state election an occasion for maintaining their monopoly tariff ijiiestion at the polls. The distressed business condition w ill lie utilized as an incentive to the voters to east their hallots for the high tariff can didate for eongressman-at large; hut it can have hut htt'e effect upon intelligent Hiftrugis's who know that the Mck'inley tariff, which the llcpuhlicans wish to have sustained hy xipular expression at the Fchruary ixills, hul more to do with hringing on the business depression than any other cause. Fortunately, the Wilson tariff hill can not U- affected in any way hy votes east at this late stage of the iiiestion. 1 1. .. . I I .1 . -,, i.- me m i me on me tarill lull on Iuestlay the Hon. J. I. Hicks, of this district in his efforts to have the tariff of T" cents a ton on coal retained, dt nounced the Wilson hill as an unjust and discriminating measure hy striking at the farmer, hy the admission of wool and the various products of the farm free of duty, hy striking at the mechan ic, hy the admission of manufactured articles free, and now at the miners of the country hy placing them in comr-- tition with the cheap coal and lulior of Nova Scotia. In f-ur orling 1 he free listing of coal Congressman Mitchel read from the hearings on the McKinley hill he fore the ways and means committee in IMH, the testimony of Hon. (iahisha A. (Jiow, of Pennsylvania, the present nominee of the licpuhlicans of this state for Congn ssman-at-large, in favor of re moving the duty from coal. Mr. (irow told the committee that coal was mined cheaper in Pennsylvania and Ohio than in foreign countries and that the only reason for the duty w as because of the freight rates. He said if the American and Canadian duties on coal were removed, the I'nited States would command the markets of Canada west of .Montreal, and that we would supply with coal 10 sjuare mi led of territory where the Nova Scotians supplied one. Congressman Hicks and candidate tirow, both stalwart Republicans differ very radically in tLeir viewstf protection. Tiik St. Louis I!pvhli' in comment ing on the advice, the Protective Tar iff League is giving to voters to semi a jMistalcard to congressmen urging them to vote against the Wilson hill, thus trims up the League. I nnsylvania manufacturers have leaned so long on bounties that they are behind hand in shrewdness. Their hoggishncss has waxed, hut their invention has deterior ated. The protective League is a litera ry bureau which supplies by the thous and editorials for the Kfpublican press, tracts, leaflets and appeals, 't in' bureau began to be active in literary work jn.-t after the defeat of the Mills bid by the Republican senate. The t.irift reform c:iuse has grown faster In the five years since 1S than in the '." years preced ing. The Protective Tariff I-eague has wastjd enough paper and jiostage to have sent a ISihle to every family in America. And as far as the record shows it has not made a vote for Mc FC inlcyism. Its latest scheme is an inundation of piper slips which convey this appeal: 'Send a postal card to your Congress man to day urging him to vote agaiti.-t the Wilson free trade bill." If the Protective Tariff League had not a fatty degeneration of the brain it would not spend thousands of doilars for such a purpose. An immense ma jority in one House of comjrcMS and a safe working majority in the other are pledged to vote for a reform bill, and the only complaint the constituents of these majoriti'-s are making is that the Wilson hill is not free trade enough. That is the complaint about the bill, and the complaint about voting is that a vote has not already heen taken. If evvry Republican voter should send on his postal card not a congressman would pay any attention to the nonsense. The Re publican congressman would join his I Vinocratii: colleague in joking at it. These millionaires who can throw away money so freely have made more trouble for labor, have made more cuts in wages and have had around them more distress than all the other employ ers of the country put together. Penn sylvania lalmr troubles are chronic. High tariff.; do not prevent them and low tariffs do not aggravate them. Thev go on month in and mouth out cut. squeeze, quarrel, lockout, walkout and sometimes bloodshed. Such an- the Pennsylvania backers of the Protective Tariff League. They are the men w ho hastened a panic by strangling trade and taking the incomes of families; who by grinding labor mailt enough to pay for the carloads or leaf lets which go impotently (lying through the country. They are not half as wise as the home market they seek to gull. The horn market is stocked up w ith undistributed wealth which it isttying to sell to other matkets. It is not sending postal cards urging congressmen to vote against trade ind distribution. The home market would rather take the word of Carnegie to the effect that the Wilson lull is not going to hurt iron odiictioti, though it may cut down the profits of a few played out mills. It would rather listen to Macbeth of Pittsburg, who says that Vmerican manufacturers can compete w ith Kuropcan trade centers. The Wilson bill is here to le voted on, and the country wants a vote on the lines laid down at the election, and wants a vote hcfoie spring opens. Philadelphia's Protective Tariff League would better follow Carnegie's wampic t.oth in his acquiescence to the Wilson bill and his contribution of money to relieve the distress Republican egislation has caused. Fou sharp and caustic debate, says the Ilarrisburg I'nlrint, the country has been for years accustomed to look to the Republican representatives in congress ami it mut-t U- admitted that they have never disappointed expectations. It has even bet 11 said that all the ability in American xililieal life was in the Repub lican party. Rut all this has Uen hanged in party strength in congress. The speeches of Congressmen Johnson and Warner have broken wide breaches in the Republican tariff wall and sharp and close debate has driven the enemy from their intrenchments. F.ven Tom Retd, the Republican Hecter who did prodigies of valor when the IVmocrats were driven from the field and were al most hojlessly struggling against cer tain disaster, has U-come, In-fore a de termined onslaught, as weak and nerve less as any of the other Republican rav ishers. There is not a Republican who has been victorious in debate on the Wilson bill. Ia I one talk aliout a tariff on iron anl steel manufactures and a Hemocrat w ho knows what he is talking alxiut tells him authoritatively that it is not c.nly not necessary but harmful. Let one talk aliut protection to farmers and a Iemocrat w ho is an experienced agricul turist vainly challenges him to particularize. I-t him dwell upon how wages are increased by protection and he is completely worsted by even the slight allusion to the necessity for the existence of trades unions in order that la'ior may recieve the rate of wages now being paid. Indeed, some of the protectionists have lieen so confused by leading questions that they have directly stated that while protection increases the profits of man ufacturers laUtr must by force secure what it gets. Protection is nearing its end. It squirms like any other snake with its head crushed, but that is only an evi- iletu-t that it has len wminiletl to the j ilealh.

Secretary Carlisle has announced an i-; Sue cf bonds, under ailthoiity of the act 1 187", to meet the present nece.-.-i ties of the treasury. While neither lie. President i'W veland. nor any member o! the cabinet has any doubts about his an thoriiy to is.-ue l-oiid.-, lie anil the would have pn-fi-ired that c-ngres should have provided f- r the i'manci:.' deficit, but Senator Vorhees and other leading I Vmocrats in i-onn s. at ier con sulfation and ma' ire .) s!ilera:ioii. ar rived at the conclusion that it would be impossible to Secure Congressional a tion in time to render the aid needed, ow ing to differences of opinion amoiyg I lemocrais as to what should It- done: and advised t hat advantage he taken oi the authority conferred bv tin' old I.iw The issue of bonds is to be limited In the immediate needs of the government, thus ieaving congress free to act as soon as it may be so disposed by providing other means of raising money that must be had from some source. The idea of a bond issue is not a palatable one to the average Hemocrat, but in this case then was no choice: it was bonds or a default in meeting obligations of tin- government. I he consideration of th" Wilson taiitf bill is proceeding satisfactory to the Hemocrats, although the clauses about which tliere is the greatest Itemocratu controversy have not yet U-en reached A number of minor amendments have fn-en adopted, and one very important one prodding lh.it the free wool lau-e should take effect upon the passage of the bill. Senator Perry, speaking on Senator Call's resolution for an investigation on the civil service, said: '- think there is a great deal of humbug aliout this civil ser ii e buines and 1 am not inl'aorof extending it one iota bother. " 'Ihis statement was greeted with such Up marious applause from the gallci ies t hat the chairman had to threaten to have them cleared In-fore quiet was restored Mr. Perry voiced the pop ilar idea. The depicted condition of ihe treasu ry Would prevent any cotisideali!e ap propriation fT the enlargement of our navy at the present session of congress, even if a majority of the i'emocrats were in favor of sin h appropriation, which is doubtful Representative Ilolmau is one of the I emocrats who believes that our navy is already dangerou-lv larg and that it should not Ik- added to. un less the traditional policy of our govern nil-lit. to avoid entangling a ilia t ices, is to be shelved and an aggressive foreign pol icy substituted tin refor. ,-We need." says Mr. Ilolmau, '-a navy sullii ientlv strong to protect our inter sis at home and abroad, but we have already gone beyond that p lint and ought to stop. I do not favor a large army in time of peace, but an army cannot, under an circumstances, get us into trouble The army cannot inaugurate a foreign tioli cv. The navy can. as witness the Yal paraiso incident. The foreign relations of our country are more or less in the hands of the conimainlt r of any Amcn can naval vessel, and we must sustain him, as a rule, in whatever course In takes. For that reason, it is not ad visahle to have too much of a navy. The .-mailer flic navy, the better; pro vided it is sufficient for our purpose." Strange to say no 1 democrat has ap plied, so far a.s known, for the position of I'. S.

HALLShaTr The preat pojiularity of this preparation, after its test off many years, should be an assurance, even to the must nkeptit-al, that It Is really meritorious. Those who have used HaLl'h 11 aim. Khlvkw KK know that It docs nil that is claimed. It causes new irrowth of hafr on bald heads provided the hair follicles sre not dead, which in seldom the case; restores natural color to trrav or faded hair; pre serves the scalp healthful and clear of dandruff ; prevents the hair falling off or cnauging color; keeps it sort, pliant, lus trous, and causes it to grow long and thick. Haix's Haiti Rfxfwer produces Its effects by the healthful influence of its vegetable ingredients, which invigorate and rejuvenate. It Is not a dve, and is a delightful article for toilet use. Con taining no alcohol, it does not evap orate quickly and dry up the natural oil. leaving the 'hair harsh and brittle, as do other preparations. Buckingham' Dve ron TBI WHISKERS Colors them brown or black, as desired, and is the bettt dye, because it is harmless ; produces a permanent natural color; and, being a single preparation, is more con venient of application than any other. niriuD it B.
