FRED KURTZ, - - EDITOR We have not yet had the last of the ‘Birds of Pennsy!vania,” a8 the chances are that 3.000 additional copies will he printed unless the governor forbids. It costs $1 400,000 a year to run the Vatican, and the Pope has appointed a committee on economy in expenditures, consisting of three Cardinals jwhose duty it will be to prevent waste and pare down expenses wherever possible, A RIS SAI. The Philedelphis granted 1,246 retail licenses for 1891, an increase of 73 compared with last vear; but in wholesale licenses there was a re- duction from 918 showing the court had come to a very summary conclusion as to its powers in dealing with this branch o! licenses work. Tbere have been greater abuses under wholesale licenses io Philadelphia, than under retail licenses. The flow of our gold to Europe is at- tributed by the best authorities on the other side to a heavy balance of trade created against us by the McKinley bill, A closer view of the matter would more likely disclose several causes co-operats ing to produce the outflow. tariff has doubtless been a potent factor in the situation; and it is also tolerably clear that Czar McKinley has bad an effective ally in the other Czar. Bardsley, the city treasurer cf Phila deiphia, is reported to be in arrears to the State treasury to the amount of $630,000. These moneys represent the various license fees collected for the use license in court Ihe of the State and the proceeds of State The auditor general has served potification on the city treasurer that payweot of this amount must be made within the vext ten days, and that if the money shall not be forthcoming at that time the attorney general will be asked to collect it by beginning legal action in the name of the Commonwealth, The is eafely locked up in broken banks that paid Bradsley for its deposit.

There their salaries are always in arrears, and a case has recently come up where a teacher had not received a cent of money from the government for seventeen years, The total amonut of back salary now due he teachers if Spain foots up about seven hundred thousand dollars. Such is the need among teachers that ia some cases they have to be sustained by cari ty, and their children are compelled to go out to service. The system is in such condition that many of the schools have been closed altogether. TCT. In the opinion of ex<Mayor Cregier the Chicago Fair will not be ready for opening in May, 1893. Since the Fair is not to be held in 1892, the year of Colum- bs, there would be quite as much hise torical significance in holding it in 1804 or 1895 as iu any other year. It would be far better to delay the opening until all the arrangements shall have been fully completed than to fail for want of time. The only serious objection to farther postponement would be in the expense of maintaining & horde of of- ficials that have fastened themselves upon the Exposition for the purpose of making a private job of it. The delay of another year would involve a great deal more expenditure. If, then, the Exposi- tion can be fully completed by May 1893, let it be done by all means. Fu. expulsion of the Jews from Rus- #ia is the saddest chapter in the closing anvals of the Nineteenth Century, The poor creatures, siripped of the personal property in the laod from which they are exiled, are falling into the hands of the civilized savages who infest the countries to which they flee. The cor- morants who prey upon helpless labor by exacting from starving creatnres ton hours’ work for one hour's wage, and the demous in the guise of men who lare helpless innocence on the steep road to perdition, welcome the Russian exodus with greedy readiness. Many of these wretched, ignorant outcasts will doubt lees find their way to the United States. They are not beggars, if they have Jeave to work. They are not criminals, They are the victims of an intolerable despot- ism. Homanity demauds that they shall not be turned back from these shores’ but that the aid which the Jews the world over haye always extended to their afflicted ren shall be supple mented by the charity of all benevolent persons who are ready to succor human XX“ CE The People’s Party. This is the name selected by the Cin- cinnati conference for the third party it proposes to laonch next year and con- test the presidential election, A great deal will depend on the conference call: ed by the Farmers’ Alliance and other organizations not participating in the re. cent meeting, and which meets at Cine cinnati in February next. The national committee selected at Cincinnati was in- structed to attend next year’s meeting and endeavor to reach a common basis of principle and action, bat failing in that it is made its duty tocall a conven- tion to nominate a candidate for presid- ent not later than June 1. Next year’s conference will be represeatative of the Southern Alliances, the Citizens’ Alli ance and the Knights of Labor, as the recent one was of the Western and Northwestern Alliances and fragmentary organizations of the mixed character and purposes, even including the Bal- lamy Nationalists and the Bingle Tax party. The platform adopted at Cincinnati is merely a reaffirmation of deliverances of the Knights of Labor and Alliaaces dure ing the last three years, There is noth ing particularly objectionable in it save its indorsement of the warehouse lunacy by which the government is to go into the money loaning business to all comers at not more than 2 per cent interest on the secarity of real estate and noo -per- ishable agricultural prodacts, We would then become a nation of borrowers from Uncle Sam, and base would be the slave who would pay, It would not take long for another new bith pledged to wipe out the account current, principal and interest, Of all the nonsensical ideas invented in American politics in a hun- dred years that is the craziest, in oar judgment. Its realization is too improbs able to speculate on, but were possible the experiment would result 10 universs) bankruptcy, and very likely in the utter demoralization if oot destruction of our form of government. Aside from this nonsense the princi. ples laid down at Cincinnati are not highly objectionable, while a number of the plavks are familiar to the people and bave met with mach favor. If the na- tional banks are to go, a full legal tender currency issued directly by the treasury would very properly sud naturally take the place of the national bank notes, The supreme court has decided congress is the judge of the necessity and amount of such issues. Judge Thurman, shortly before be retired from the seuate, pre- vill for such issue, making greenbacks the only paper currency, but it was never pressed to a vote, What the convention said of free coin, age of silver, alien ownership of lands, ao ipcowe tax, railroed superyision, and the e ection of President and senators by the people have advocates in great nam bers io the old parties. The tariff, which is to day the vital question in American politics, was touched very gine geriy,and in a mild way that would freeze out earnest reformers. Yet this is a principle on which the Alliance should be radical, at its membership is preity much all one way on it—that is, against tariff tazation to build up favors ed interests, The resolutions on the subjects are in the right direction, bat weak and vague in expression, I'he prospects of this third party are vague and uncertain. It is not likely it will have the so~operation of the Southe ern Alliances, But the events of the next eight or ten months in politics and legislation, in congress, business, har vests and foreign trade may give it mach grea'er power than is now looked for. The principal or parpose avowed, to care the concentration of wealth in a few bands—the millionaire and tramp as the perfected fruit of our economic system— has taken a deep hold on the people, but we see no remedy for it in the avowed purposes or principles of this new party invention.

In this, as in most other matters, common sense and natural con. venience are the only guides, Many ladies are near sighted; many others find great difficulty in remembering faces. Tbe impor tant thing of course, is that a man should not presume, When two people meet who are really acquainted it is pot the man who should necessarilly bow first, or the lady —it is whichever of them is the first to perceive and regognize the other, sented a ~—Do you want to secure genuine bargaios in clothing and gent’s furnish~ ing goods?

The Boyer Tax Bill Passes The House passed the Boyer tax bill finally on Friday, with an amendment jncreasing the tax on capital stock from five mills to six, This will necessitate concurrient action on the part of the Senate, for which therr is ample time. The Boyer bill 1 a substinte for the so~called Granger tax biil, and its chief features comprise an increase of the tax on bank stock from six mills, the present rate, to eight mills; on corporation stock from three mills, the present rate, to six | mills, and on all personal property in the| form of money at interest from three mills, present rate, to four mills. It is calculate that the State revenues will be increased by this bill about $3,000,000 aonually, which amount is added to the appropriation for common schools, which is increased from $2,000,000 a year, the amount appropriated by the last legis lature, to 85,000,000, The effect will to relieve local taxation to the extent of the increased school appropriation. This is not all the farmers and other local tax-pays wanted; says the Philadel phia Times, but jt is a good beginning towards tax equalization, and is effected without the enactment of the odious in~ quisitorial features of the Granger bill, and without offering & premiom to manu facturing concerns to moye out of the State.
