THE JUDGESHIP,
The upshot of the president judge-
ship in our district is likely to be as
follows on the Republican side: Hunt-
ingdon county has Lovell and Centre
county has Love. One must haul off
for harmony. Centre county having
the governor, Hastings, and other fat
places, it will be argued she can’t have
the judge too, as that might cause a
fracas that would injure Hastings
some. So Jack Love may have to
step out and let Lovell be the judicial
nag. To have Love off will harmo-
nize the Furst people, and leave all se-
rene for Lovell, whose nomination
would heal all sores in Centre and
make Huntingdon happy. Now, can
you see through the thicket?

IT's about time Generals Hastings

and the unlimited coinage of the white
metal, 58 cents worth to be called one

mean—forty silver dollars or forty gold

CAMERON FOR PRESIDENT.
A circular will be issued by Congress-
man ‘Jack’ Robinson, president of
the state league of Republican clubs,
to the different clubs over the state re-
questing them to elect delegates to the
convention to be held in this city Sep-
tember 5, and pay their dues in order
that they may be in good standing, re-
marks the Harrisburg Patriot. Chair-
man Gilkeson, of the state Republican
committee, has notified Congressman
Robinson that he will ve present, as
will also General Hastings and his col-
leagues on the state ticket. It is the
intention of those in charge of the ar-
rangements for the convention to make
it the largest that has ever been held
by the league.
It is said the convention will adopt
a mild silver platform, and start a
boom for Senator Don Cameron for
president. It is claimed all the Re-
publican politicians in the state, with
the exception of a few anti-Cameron-
ites like C. C, Kaufman, of Columbia,
and ex-Senstor Emory, of Bradford,
will unite for Cameron, and that those
who look on his candidacy as a joke
will discover that it is a reality and
that he will be a strong candidate.
Chief Clerk Voorhees, of the house
of representatives, is one of the origi-
nal Cameronites of the state. He pre-
dicted that Cameron would be the next
Republican presidential nominee the
day after he made his famous free sil-
ver speech in the senate, and says he
sees nothing now to cause him to
change bis mind.
Dens has learned a lesson. He says
he will never again order a strike, and
advises the workingmen to try and
right their wrongs at the ballot box.
He says he is convinced that the
American people are opposed to
strikes. This is sensible talk even for
Debs, the pity is he did not use com-
mon sense a little sooner, he then
would have thought twice before strik-
ing once. Debs got himseif and many
others into a pickle,

THE MILLS BILL AND THE SENATE
BILL.
No better answer could be given to
the flagrant Republican misrepresenta-
tions of the Senate Tariff bill than
that which is afforded by a compari-
son of its provisions with the Mills
bill of 1888. The Mills bill dealt with
the tariff of 1882, while the Senate bill
deals with a much more difficult prob-
lem. But a careful and impartial com-
parison of the two measures will show
that the much belied Senate bill pro-
poses a more radical reduction of pro-
tective duties than was proposed by
the Mills bill. That is tosay, the bill
now lying in Committee of Confer-
ence, if adopted, would make the rates
of duty in the aggregate and in detail
lower than the rates proposed in the
Mills bill. Yet the Mills bill was ac-
cepted by the friends of Tariff Reform
as a fair expression of their views, and
was bitterly assailed by the Protection-
ists as an infamous scheme of British
Free Trade. With somewhat less par-
tisan injustice the tariff-mongers de-
nounce the Senate bill as another Free
Trade iniquity.
Throughout nearly every schedule
of imports, including cotton goods,
silks, iron and steel, earthenware,
glassware, sugar and chemicals, the
rates of duty are substantially lower in
the Senate bill than the rates propos-
ed in the Mills bill. In this conserv-
atism the Mills bill left the duties on
silks untouched; and the Senate bill
reduces them. In putting wool on
the free list the Mills bill proposed to
reduce the duties on woolens from 68
per cent. in the Tariff of 1882 to an av-
erage of 49 per cent. The Benate bill
proposes to reduce the average rate of
duty on woolens from 80 per cent. in
the McKinley tariff to 45 per cent.—~a
much greater proportionate reduction
than was proposed in the Miils bill.
This is in accordance, too, with the
oft-repeated Democratic pledge to
make no violent or vindictive slash at
the tariff. If there be those who re-
gard this as a mere campaign pledge,
made only to be broken, there are oth-
ers of us who hold that it should be
faithfully and honorably observed.
In the sugar schedule the Mills bill
proposed to reduce the duty on raw
sugar from 100 per cent. in the Tariff
of 1882 to 78 per cent., and on refined
sugar from 109 to 81 per cent. For a
revenue measure this was regarded as
a rather steep reduction of duty; but,
at that time at least, the friends of
Tariff Reforma were unanimously in
favor of a revenue duty on sugar. Had
the Mills bill been passed the reveuue
from sugar under its provisions would
have amounted to upward of $75,000,-
000 a year. In substantially reduciog
the Mills rates the Senate bill would
bring $40,000,000 a year to the Treasu-
ry from sugar. In what respect is
Senate bill a departure from the prin.
ciple and policy of its Democratic
predecessor of 1888 save in proposing &
greater reduction of the sugar duty?
If the Senate bill proposes to make a
discrimination in favor of refined su-
gar as an article of manufacture, the
discrimination proposed in the Mills
bill was much greater. Who will dare
affirm that the Senate bill so far as re
lates to the sugar duties is not from
every point of view a much better
measure of Tariff Reform than was
the Mills bill ?
Under the Senate bill the free list
would be larger than in any tariff since
the foundation of the Government. In
respect to free raw materials it would
be a much better measure than the
“Free Trade” Tariff of 1846. While
the Senate bill proposes to cut the du-
ties on coal and iron ore in twain, the
Mills bill proposed to leave them un-
touched. This was not because Chair-
man Mills and his Democratic associ-
ates of the Ways and Means Commit-
tee in 1888 did not desire to put coal
and iron ore on the free list. They
were confronted, however, by the same
difficulty which confronts the Demo-
crats of the Senate. But no friend of
Tariff Reform asserted that the fram-
ers of the Mills bill were faithless and
corrupt because they could not achieve
impossibilities. Noone urged, as now,
that the bill should not be passed be-
cause it did not put coal and iron ore
on the free list, nor because it made a
large discrimination in the duty on
refined sugar,
With all its shortcomings and its
concessions to the lingering spirit of
Protection, it is seen that the Benate
bill is a great stride in Tariff Reform
since the Mills bill embodied the Dem-
ocratic policy on this question.—Phila-
delphia Record.

Successive hot waves sweeping
through the Kansas grain flelds have
left ns large and desolate a burnt dis
trict as the forest fires have made in
Wisconsin, and the harvests in other
Western and Northwestern States
have not escaped a searing from the
phenomenal heats, But rains may yet
retrieve many flelds that seem to have
been hopelessly ruined; and, in any
case, It is too soon for the farmers to
yield to despair, The disastrous results
of the weather may yet be offset by the
effects of the Eastern war upon the

on the track in front of the car while |
it was in motion. He was fortunate |
enough not to fall on the rail or he |
would have been killed. He fell be- |

caught him and wound him up in bad |
shape, hurting his back and otherwise |
injuring him. He was carried into |

summoned, who dressed up his wounds |
and applied restoratives. He was tak- |
