Si Ki.Kos ( iK.NhKAl. Wv.m an has received
a letter through the stale department
from I'nited States Consul Hyatt, at
Santiago do Cuha, dated March .SO, in
forming him that during th tirst half of
the month three deaths from yellow fev
er oci urred in that city. "Tiie mortal
ity for the last lifteen days,'" he says,
"is prol.al.ly heavier on account of tiie
prt sonce of .",ooo new recruits for the
Spanish army. Fever has not entirely
died out during the winter, and has
started in now in a malignant form,
and, with the revolution on hand, the
summer promises to !e exceedingly un

In view of the great rise in the price
of U of and the reported scarcity of cat
tle, the chief of the tiureau of animal
industry, I r. Salmon, has iecommended
to the secretary of agriculture the ad
mission of Mexican cattle into the I'ni
ted States under stringent regulations,
calculated to insure a rigid insjiection of
ail cattle admitted. It is hoped Ly this
means to check the tendency to exces
sive prices to tho consumer without in
juriou.-ly affecting the interests of the
lieof produceis. l'on I 'r. Salmon's
recommendation Secretary Morton is
sued an order modifying the regulations
of the department regarding the admis
sion of Mexican cattle.
Tut-: free scholarship hill of the state
college, savs tho Harrishurg l'nti-'mt, has
l.een abandoned. Had it leeome a law
it would have taken $ltH.,000 annually
out of the public school fund. The op
position to the measure is so stri ng that
its advocates have decided that it cannot
pass this session. They will hold off for
two years and try the next legislature.
The friends of the college have not yet
determined what they will do with the
other appropriation bills which they
have had introduced. The proimsed rut
in the school appropriation has intensi
tied the opposition to the state college
and the chances are that it will get very
little aid from the state in the next two
years.
Thk McKinley tariff U'came a law on
Oi-tiib-r i',, lX'O, and the enactment of
it was folkiWi'd by a long list of reduc
tions of wages in the protected indus
tries. Several of tin se cuts were made
iu Novemlt-r, and a ftw were announced
on the day of the general election in
that month. A majority of the changes
took place, however, in the following
January, February and March. The re
cent increase of l." per cent, in the Wes
tern I'enusv Ivania coke district may
Serve to recall the fact that the long and
bloody strike of lo.iHHJ coke, workers in
the same district, against a reduction of
lO percent., legan in February, 1
four months after the McKinley tariff
liecame a law, and a few weeks after
Speaker Keetl, in public addresses, had
urged the same coke workers to "live
up to" the new tariff law schedules.
The present tariff is now a little more
than tsevtui months old.

M:ice the tamoiis declaration of tiie
(;-s!i!i that it was. "tiie McKinley hi!!
that created the fullness in the treasury
during Cleveland's tirst administration,"
we have not seen anything to eipial the
above in pure, clean cut ignorance of
the subject written aliout, as the above
The .'.;! readers may not know
it but most other people do. that the re
ceipts and expenditures of the county
are audited at the end of each and every
year and a statement published of the
assets and liabilities of the county.
The assertion by the . that the
high rate of taxation was "made ncees
sary to pay the bills under the Demo
cratic reign of commissioners w ho occu
pied the o I lice in l-'.'.'S" must lo taken
with considerable allowance when we
have the sworn Statement of the eountv
auditors, W. C. I Jerry, J. W. Daily and
". .1 .(ones, the two latter Republicans,
that the entire liabilities of the county
on the 2i'.th of .January . 1 '..", wereLlS,
SM.JS1 and to meet this the county had
assets amounting to ? Jo,'.' lo.'Jn or SIJ,
101.4:2 over and above the liabilities
f this amount 5::S7,17.4 I was turned
over in cash to Treasurer lSarker.
Among the liabilities was otie item of
10,000 for outstanding bonds, which,
according to the statement of the audi
tors on tiie .".1st of January l'.'o, i not
yet paid and is still an iudehtoducs.
against the county; so that the com mis
sioners of ly.i; ; turned over :o7,17'S II
in cash to the commissioners of l'.'I.
and the commissioner.- of is; '4 after
paying SlS.s H 4 (the jin.ooii bonds
not being paid) had S-'l s,i';tJ.r,o surplus
cash to do business with.
In IX'.'S the amount of the duplicates
of taxes collected for the year was $7-.-."7.",
1'.'. In l-'.'I the amount collect. -ii
was ?107,411.4'J or j'.':'.."i mere
than under the Democratic reign of tin
previous year And at tiie end of l-.'l.
according to the auditors rt port on the
".1st of January, 1 -'..", published in tin
iosliiitj, the county had an indebtedness
of !,ilu oo with assets of :S I.7oj.;;7
leaving the assets to exceed the liabili
ties, only j'i'..i'.,l.".7.
The i'kisHhii goes on to show that sev
eral items of indebtedness fur lS'.'.'S were
paid by the commissioners of lvl. in
sinuating that they were paid out of tin
taxes of 1 V4, when the plain matter of
fact is that there was $:S7,17i'.. l I left iu
tin- trea.-ury out of which tiie commis
sioners only paid old liabilities amount
ing to SlS,N4,s4
Taking the auditors' reports for 1M.;;
and ls;il. they will plainly show that
the treasurer's olhce. whose salary de
pends upon the amount received and
paid Out, was largely sweetened for the
year ls'.'4, and that he who assorts, that
the tax rate had to be increased in 1SM1
"to pay the bills of the county contract
ed under the Democratic reign of the
commissioners who occupied the otlioe
in 1 '.':'' must be either a liar or a fool
There is no other alternative it is as
plain as the noonday sun and our neigh
lr, the tlitslintj, may take whichever
horn of the dilemma it prcfcis.
The I iustiii; w inds up its nonsense with
the following interrogation:
Who is it that is "sweetening" the
salary of the county treasurer, Mr. Mus
ly; you claim to have knowledge of the
affair. Why not make a clean breast of
it?
As the Republicans have a majority
on the present board of commissioners,
the (iimliiKi should le better able to an
swer its own interrogatory, than the
Fkkkm an. We have shown by facts and
figures, plainly stated, that the Demo
cratic commissioners of lS'.'IS adminis
tered the affairs of the county at one
third less cost than the commissioners (if
lS'.' land it should le the pleasure ami
duty of our Republican contemporaries
to stand by their ow n ollicials if they are
misrepresented.
On Tuesday, at Hnrrisb.irg, the Tliter
bill, providing a coniensation for judges
who shall resign their ollice, after
twenty years' consecutive service on the
liench, at the age of 7 years, came up
for final passage. It was vigorously oj
sed by Messrs. Martin, of Lawrence:
Sea nor, of Indiana; Mattox, of Yeinn
go, and others. Mr. Mattox called the
attention of the house to the fact that at
every turn mem tiers are met with the
warning that the revenues of the com
monwealth will not justify the appropri
ation of a cent of money to the private
hospitals and charities of the State, yet
here is a projHisitioii to pension judges
at the expense of the people. "Iu those
times it i dillioult for jxKir men to make
s-utlioient to keep their families and it is
an insult to slap Ihem in the faces with
such a bill as this." He warned the
lb-publican majority that the passage of
the measure would react, tx'cause tiie
leople would hold the majority respon
sible. A number of the members spoke
for and against the bill when finally a
vote w as taken and the bill pa.-sed by 107
yeas to 77 nays.
For bigoted, vicious and extravagant
legislation tiie body now in Ptssion at
Harrishurg unquestionably I takes the
cake.
