ThkNbwYoiik Star of a late datb
In srgillug tbo point of what really const I
totes the ran materials SAys:
'.'When we get more deeply Into the com
plexities of manufacturing, the trouble be
glna. Ilere at once the conflict of views
and Interests becomes hopeless, Irreconcil
able. One factory supplies the raw mater
ial of another. The tanner furnishes the
raw material for the saddler and shoemak
er. The yarn mills supply the cotton and
woolen mills. The manufacturer of Iron
supplies the manufacturer of steel with
raw material, and the latter supplies the
cutter, the machinist and a dozen other
great branches of 'manufacturing. So one
could go on citing examples without limit,
showing that "raw material" Includes two-
thirds In volume and valuo of all the articles
manufactured. Kach manufacturer, while
anxious for the highest duty on his own
special product, is no less eager for the re
duction or removal of duty from the mater
ials which enter into it. The manufacture
t r of steel car wheels would like to exclude
Krupp's wheels, for example, from the
market, but be would like no less well to
buy Krupp's blooms duty off. Following
this out in all Us details, wo find that every
tariff scheme must of necessity be ono of
colossal selfishness. Manufacturers have
to yield the point to each other. So tliev
conspire to recoup themselves by robbing
the people at large in intelligent concert."

About two weeks before the con
vening of Congress a number of the leading
Democrats of tlio country assembled in
TKashlngton, and along with the president,
agreed upon a plan of revenue reform, that
embraced reductlons'on all articles thatim
mediately affect the living of the poor.
Congress has been In session almost two
months and up to date no such bill hearing
legitimately on revenno reform has been
presented. The question now arises, what
has become of it? The effect upon trado Is
deleterious, the constant agitation of so
important a subject is deadening to com.
merclal activity; business men are placed
In feverish suspense and generally the
masses bocome the sufferers of Obstinate
hesitancy on the part of congressional
representatives. A careful and systematic
reform of the tariff, and a reduction or re'
moval of internal reyenucs would at once
reduce the surplus; the business interests
of the country would bo Invigorated and s
healthy activity take the place of the fever
Uh suspense that now controls the work-
in?! of the business interests of the entire
country. Let the tariff rates be reformed,

sibllitles our Pike county contemporary,
the Milford Dispatch, quietly but suggest'
Ivelv remarks:
"The Pike county candidates have not
yet loomed up. By tho way what is being
done by the committees appointed in the
different counties to meet and arrange the
order of succession? Piko has the call and
Carbon may be said to stand next in the
line of preference. Northampton being
newly admitted Into the district will be re
quired to be modest and wait until Pike
and Carbon have ban their turns; and
Uonroo cannot file her claims until North
ampton has had a show."

The endorsement of Hon. Isaac G

Broaillra's New Yor Letter.
Special to the Cahuon Adw irr.
A year ago last fall I was going up Broad
way and a carriage dashed by mo In which
there wcro threo men who then and slnco
have occupied a great deal of public atten
tion. Thoy wcro Henry George, Mr. Pow
dcrly and Dr. Edward McGlynn. Mr.Pow
derly had coruo on to Now York !o give his
friend Henry George a lift at the coming
election. Though ono was a Free Trader
and the other a Protectionist, though ono
believed in barring the national doors
against unrestricted Immigration, and tho
other believed In opening our portals wide
to welcome all tho nations of tho earth,
for the time being all minor differences
were sunk for tho purpose of demonstrating
tho power of Labor as a factor in our na
tional politics. The whole Stato was In a
violent fever, for It was publicly announced
that the author of "Progress and Poverty,"
borno on tho shoulders of tho worklngmen
to tho Chief Magistrate's chair of the city,
would soon find his way to the cnpltol at
Albany, and everybody knows It Is but a
step from thero to the White House. On
that day the three gentlemen named above
weio fast friends, looking towards a grand
consolidation of all the working elements
and the formation of a great national par
ty. Anti-Poverty was started as a sort
of religious political annex. Everybody
was going to be employed; every fellow
was going to get everything ho wanted.
The mlllcnlum would not bo very far off
afterAntl-Poverty got In Its fine work. And
to show how the gcspel of Anti-Poverty
was to bo given to tlie children of toll,
without money and without price, they
hired tho most expensive house In tho city
at $150 a night, and commenced the new
crusade at ten cents, twenty-fivo cents,
fifty cents and one dollar a head, and final
ly they tumbled to tho low dodge of the
theatres, and hawkers on the sidewalk sold
tickets at a premium, tho profits of which
were divided with tho box-office. The
trinity that rode down Broadway on that
election mission, which was to revolution
Izo the world, are divided now; from tills
time forth their paths diverge. Dr. Mc
Glynn intimates that Powderly was noth'
ing better than a paual puppet, and Pow
dely saye without hesitation that Dr. Mo
Glynn Is a liar. Henry George and Mc
Glynn parted company some tluia ago, and
now Dr. McUlynn and ttenry George aro
at outs.
"The play Is ended, and these tlio players
were as JL tola you spirits, anil are melted
Into air, thin air, and like an unsubstantial
pageant railed, leaves not a wrack ueuiuii."
The hopes of tho two have melted away.
Tho tax on land, that was going to be a
panacea 'for every 111 Is now regarded as a
delusion and a snare; Anti-Poverty, the
dream of fools; United Labor, Utopia, as
long as grass grows and water runs and
men aro what they aro, Henry George,
that men roared themselves hoarse for
few months ago, now passes through out-
streets unnoticed. Dr. McGlymi, whose
name shook the State ill Oc'obcr, in Feb
ruary requests his followers to disband, to
humbly return to their allegiance with the
Church of Rome, while he puisnes his
solitary pathway alone. Last week might
be called tho culmination of his contumacy,
for besides his usual bitter abuse of the
Pope, he Intimated that if he were perse
cuted any further he would make some
revelations of the doings of the churcli that
wouldthakc it from turret to foundation
stone. What did he mean by that? Did
ho mean that the church was given to un
lawful practices, that he would hide it not if
they annoyed him any further? If these
are Dr. McGlynn') principles, it strikes
me they are exceedingly poor ones. The
plain facts appear to be that tho man Is
daft; a little ephemeral success, much fool
ish adulation and enormous vanity have
addlod his brains, till at last ho finds the
whole world wrong and Dr. Edward Mc
Glynn right. Ho acknowledges no trlbun
al, ho will submit to no authority; In-short
ho wants to make a Pope of himself, with
this difference, that the Roman Pontiff,
great as his power is, has certain llmlta
tions and restrictions bevoud which he dare
not go;Dr. McGlynn has none. In a short
time ha will uass from further public con
sideration and be unnoticed even by the
newsboys In the street, and if pointed out
at all, it will bo as a man who attempted
much and accomplished nothing save his
own religious and social ruin.
Mr. Powderly, tho third of the trio, is a
physical and mental wreck, stricken down
in tho house of his friends, maligned and
blackened by tho men for whom he has
sacrificed the very best years of his life.
and whose conservative course lias given
tho Knights of Labor whatever considera
tion they enjoy at the present time. Ills
enemies may succeed in hunting him to
his death, but woe unto him who succeeds
him.
Our sister Brooklyn is having another
lively religious ruction which, before it
gets through may Involve one-half of tho
Methodist churches In tho district. The
H'asblngton St. Methodist Episcopal
church was presided over by the Rev. Mr,
MUlen, who on Investigation turned out to
be a very unsavory character. The case
was brought to a focus by his behavior to
to a respectable lady of his congregation,
She very properly informed her husband
and In a very short time there was red hot
war In the church. The congregation was
split in two. One-half defended the pas
tor, who they declared, was worthy of
canonization, and vowed that the woman
who would asperse so saintly a man was
nothing better than a dirty huzzy. Th
rival faction sworo by the Four Evangelists
that such a case of moral turpItuJe and
spiritual defalcation was never hcaid of in
history, religious or profane, tinea Judas
betrayed his Master. Old friends became
bitter enemies, households wero divided
Christian brothers, deaf and blind to the
gospel of peace, punched each others' heads
ana called each other names which do not
look well In cold prlrt, and sound most of
fensively when tintanabulatoJ on tho of the
ear. Brother Frank E. Parshley, a mighty
pillar of the church, undertook the prose
cution of the delinquent pastor. It is not
necessary to go into the unsavory details,
Tho Rev. M. Mlllen was disgracefully
kicked out. The trial lasted several weeks
and the procuring of witnesses from abroad
who were Inculpated with the ministor,
cost a great deal of money, all of which
was put up by Brother Parshley, and .jiow
he appeals to the Methodists of Brookly
to help to pay the she-'. While the follow
ers of Mr. Mlllen say, Don't give him
cent, he has brought scandal on the church,
Mr. Parshley says be ought to be paid for
purifying it. Parshley did good work. He
was only the prosecutor, but the judge and
the Jury were Mr. Millen'sfellow-mlnlsters
it Is barely possible that these gentlemen
have the Interest and honor of the Metl
odlst church quite as much ac heart as any
of Mr. Mlllen's friends. Their judgment
found him gnlltyand their judgment cMiblm
out. It may b tbat Brother Parshley may
bar to stand tho thot, but he may ronsn!
himself with the reflection that whllo hit
accouut at tho Brooklyn Savings Bank may
bo depleted several dollars, his hunting out
of tho grand old Methodist church a spiri
tual wolf, In metaphorical sheep's clothing,
has deposited for him treasures In that bank
whero tho moth doth not cosurae nor
thieves break in and steal.
It Is not safo for any man to make Inyo to
two slstcis at the same, time, and that Mr.
Willis, n tatented lawyer of Brooklyn, has
discovered, as ho finds himself Involved In
breach of promlso suit for $50,000, and as
yet only one of tho sisters has put in a
claim, and as it Is morally certain that he
can only legally many ono of them, wli.it
tho other wiU'demand Is yet an unknown
quanilty.
There wcro two lovely sisters, Mlllto and
Tllllc, ot a rural watering place In Penn
sylvania. The darlings had passed the
callow ago which marks immaturity and
inexperience; ono being thirty-six and tho
other thirty-seven. The waist belt of ono
was thirty-nine and three-quarter Inches,
and the other recorded forty-two and a
half. Mr. Willis took moonlight walks
with both; ho sang duct: with each, and
whatever his Intentions wero lo Mlllte there
is now no mistake that Tllllc thought thoy
wcreV.' .for her. If ho wrote to Tllllc, by
some evil mlschanco Millie got the letter,
and wnen he Indited a loving epistle to
Mllllo It invariably fell Into Tllllo's hands.
In ono ot his Itnatory messages ho calls
her his "sweet little blrdle.'t Now, that
uilght bo all very well to a girl just out of
her teens, but to a woman of forty who
tips the scalo at a trifle over two hundred,
it's an awfully strained flguro of speech.
To Millie ho wrltcs"my gcntlo little duck,"
and It never seems to havo occurred to him
that he was making himself a goose. If
Millie gets $50,000, which I hone she will,
as balm for her wounded heart, I hope
Tllllo will go in at least for $100,000, and
thus teach this unscrupulous lawyer that
ho cannot with Impunity toy with a young
maiden's affections if she Is thirty-eight or
even forty. Sweet little birdies don't fly
on every huckleberry bush, and darling
duckies don't swim In every fellow's duck
pond. Tho next time Mr. Willis gos gun
ning for that kind of gamo ho will know
better than to try and bring down two at a
time.
Taino was right In his history of English
literature. Tho ancient sayagc has left a
taint in our blood that time, cannot eradi
cate. The walking match which promised
to be a fizzle turned out a genuine surprise,
Tho smashing of the record made Alberf.
for a few hours the biggest man In tiic
city. Tho way tho thousands screamed
and shouted for him was like the plaudits
for a nation's savior. It ended In a earn!
yal of gamblers, thieves and harlots, and
so passes to the spotting record the history
of the greatest performance on foot ever
attempted by mortal man.
BROADBRIM,
OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER
Philadelphia Pa., Feb. 22, '8S
The large building at the corner of Broad
and Chestnut streets, are being torn down
making way for a larger and more modern
building. Since these operations havo com
menced It Is no unusual thing to sec from
fifty to two hundred and fifty men, scantily
clad, cluster around the corner in tho bleak
cold mornings srlth tho hopo of securing :
job, menial laboring work, at $1.25 pcrday
They are strong, hearty men, willing to do
any kind of work, In order to keep body
and soul together; time and again they arc
turned away with "We have all tho men
we can possibly use." This Is enacted not
only at this corner but all oyer the city,
aye, all over the coun'ry. Yet In view of
all this cvldcnco there arc sage men, erudite
editors, possessing more erudition than
wisdom and interest In the amelioration of
their fellow men, and so-called wise states
men, who declaro that there is nothing
wrong with our Industrial, econondc and
social system and condition; tbat he who
wants to work can get- employment In
abundance; and such as arc not Incapaci
tated either by disease or physical cause to
work aro bummers, too lazy to work, dcru
agogues, mendicants, &C. Theso asser
tions arc made, as the evidence to the con
trary proves, in bo'd defiance pf the real
condition of the many suffering and povcr
Ishlng human beings created by the Cre
ator of all for want of employment. This
is a sid condition of things; it is a condi
tion that must cause reflection, attract at
tention and receive the careful considera
tion of our rulers, to devise laws and means
to obviate such shameful suffering and want
In tho midst of plenty, if the even tenor of
our national cxlsteuce Is to be maintained
and continued. A modern reformer has
been dubbed a crank and demagosuo for
publicly saying that In tho poverty and
want In tho midst of wealth and plenty
stalked a belly full of "French Revolt!
tlons." But Is not this man, if the tun
dency to tho two extremes, wealth and
poverty,aro taken into consideration, more
of a prophet than a mischief worker. Does
not every self-reasoning man recognize that
want and hunger have no restraints, that
nothing is so bloodtnlrsty and maddening
as an empty stomach and suffering depend
ents. Did not theso two extremes In France
lead on those terrible scenes, so terribly
enacted throughout France, during that
revolution. Docs not the column of the
14th of July, on the site of the kingly per
son "La Baitile" in Paris, commemorating
tho work of tho guillotine, admonish al
such as have the Interest and welfare of
ill at Heart to make common causo to
chance that Industrial, economic aud social
condition that leads to such horrid and
awful cxctesscnces and extremes as are
recorded In historical instances. "History
repeats Itself," but If nrudeuce, wisdom
aud tho mora equitable distribution of
wealth is arranged by the, men who rule
not In accordance with anarchistic or com
munistic theories but according to equality
of opportunity or natural opportunity, no
such repetition will be necessary to right
wrong. God forbid such a repetition.
Accoic'lng to soruo New York professor'
ideas, isiainc'8 loiter uon't present my
name Is a cryptogram. According to thl
calculation Jingo Jimmy does not mean
what his letter would convey, but lns'ead
means "State to the masses, election with
out me disastrous," or state to tbo Repub
licans of the country "That my name will
be presented," &c. This no doubt is
Blaine's and bis friends Idea but they may
have reckoned without their host, for If the
Republican party is wise It will take the
matchless and peerless statesman of Maine
at his word. He is a weak man and as
ajalnst Cleveland or any other Democrat
bo aould be nowhere. His party desires
nothing so much as success, and not being
able to attain It with the "Plumed Knight'
they will haye some other emergency man
notwithstanding the cryptogram,
The congressional committee examining
Into the cause of the Reading railroad and
miners strike has been holding sessions
during the week at tbo Continental Hotel,
Tba examination so far has proved a good
deal of the rottenness of this corporation,
tho manner in which it pilfers the public
and circumvents tho law. It has been I
demonstrated that there 'are grievances on
tho part of the employees ogalnst tho c n-
pany and that theso grievances destiye to
be rectified as a matter of common justice
to all concerned. If this committee suc
ceeds by Its Investigation, as Chairman
Tillman declared tho purpose, of having
Congress enact a law protecting the con
sumers of coal from tho Injustice and rob
bery, the form of cxhorhltant prices exact
ed by the combination controlling the coal
upply It will havo accomplished a great
and good thing, deserving tho.thanks and
gratitude of n pilfered public. Is It any
wonder that there Is a demand for remedial
legislation when tbo f act Is recognized that
coal In Philadelphia Is sold at $0 and $7
per ton and that It can bo mined, trans
ported and go through tho different hands
with a profit, to all concerned for at the
most $3.15 per ton. This -vas demonstrat
ed by statistics and comparisons with pres
ent, past and future by John Norns, one
of the ablest statisticians in tho country.
Tho examination is a healthy thing and
before jt Is ended the work and publicity as
to wiongs accomplished will havo a salu
tary effect, especially in opening the eyes
of a too confiding public to tho manv
wrongs committed in its namo and by its
authorlt. The facts laid before the public
will cause much thinking and ou of it ac
tion will spring. This is what Is wanted,
It will drlvo monopoly to the wall finally.
The municipal or city contest of Tuesday
was a tame affair with the exception of the
factional contests amongst the Democrats
In the 2nd and 4th ward and tho Leeds
McManes fight in the 20th ward. J. T.
Thompson, Republican, was elected magis
trate by about 1100 The groat contest
took place in tho 4th ward between Ran
dall's friend, McMulhn, and the anti-Randall
candidate Richard Hazard. In this
bailiwick the fight was intense.moro severe
than any fight of any moment that took
place in years. The battlo was so shaped
that it did not Involve municipal signifi
cance merely but It was magnified into an
issue far beyond this. Tho purpose was to
defeat McMullln and thereby crystalize a
nucleus around which to form an opposl
tion to Samuel Randall's rc-elcctlon to
Congress next fall. The primary fight
having miscarried will virtually kill any
such movement, That is, Randall is not
only sure of a re-nomlnat!on, but assured
pf a re-election. It Is well that this is so,
It Is estimated, and no doubt true, that it
cast either side at least $10,000 to wage the
contest that was waged. When it is taken
Into consideration that no salary Is attached
to that of councilman this seems appalling,
But then this might not havo been neces
sary if it had not been tbat some pseudo
patriots took It into their heads, through
McMullln, to pismire Randall to political
death. But Samuel will not down at the
bid of a great many people ;he always comes
up serene, ami as i said uerore, the Demo
cratlc party will continue to have his valu
able services upon the floor of Congress for
two years mora from March 4. 18S0. Much
the same kind of a fight was waged in the
JStn ward when James ilagan, the Kamlali
candidate, beat both the Republican and
anti-Randall Democratic caudldate, Me-
Glcncy. The significance of these contests
is simply do not fool with a loaded gun

WA8HINOtonD. C, Feb. 13th. 1888'
Mr.. Editor: The thousands of post
masters throughout the country, who wet e
notified by tha Post Office Department a
year ago that tho pending claims for .the
readjustment of their salaries, had been
allowed, hut could not be paid until Con
grcss should maKo the necessary appro
priation, will be pleased to learn that the
claims will very.soon be paid. An Item In
mo ueneral Deficiency Bill which was
passed on Friday last, and now awaits the
President's signature, provides an appro
priation of $40,000 for the payment of
these claims, and the checks have been
made out and will be forwarded to the
claimants as soon as the bill is passed;
which will probably be within a very few
Uas. It will be remembered that In 1881
Congress passed a bill providing that all
post-masters below the second grade who
held olllce between the dates of July 1st
1804 and July 1st 1874, should bn paid,
sum equal to 10 per cent, of their salaries;
for such time as they actually served.
With tho commencement of Lent, the
sochl season has practically closed. The
last of the public receptions at the White
House was held on Tuesday evening and
the attendance was so great that many
were unable to gain admission to the build
ing.
Blaine's letter declining to allow his
name to be presented at the Chicago con
vention has created a decided sensation
among tho political parties, and has been
the all absorbing topic of discussion. Sev
eral names have been mentioned as that of
tho probablo nominee of the Republican
party, and if one may judge from present
uiuicaiions, either senator buerman or
Goneral Sheridan will be the coming man
Since the name of Gen. Sheridan has been
presented, the question as to his nativity is
attracting considerable attention and
one-half of tho rumors regarding his birth
place can bo relied upon, It can be truly
said that he "was born at more places and
to a greater extent than any other eminent
man known to history." The General
himself is authority for the statement that
he was born in Albany, N. Y. His mother
asserts that he was born In Sumerset
County Ohio, while his cousin Is as positive
that he was horn In Ireland. It is safe to
assume that his birth-place was one of the
three place mentioned, but which of the
Generals relatives Is correct In regard to
tho precise locality, Is a question which will
have to be settled before the republican
convention takes up bis name for considera
tion.
i ne uiyii-oervice commissioners are
likely to proceed very slowly in tbo matter
of public Investigations In tho future. The
President's dlsaproval of the rule submlted
to him by the commission requiring requir
ing reasous for removals takes a very large
plank from under the feet of the com
mlssloners. The law elves them no author,
Ity to punish those who disregard it, and
now that the President decides tbat the
appointing power is not required to give
the commission reasous for official acts
effecting employees within the civil service,
the commissioners are loth to waste their
time on investigations tbat can haye no
results. Every mall brings charges against
some officer of the government, but tbev
can all be settled by correspondence without
going to the expense of a publio Inquiry.
Commissioners Oberly and Lyman are In
clined toward public Investigations ot at
least the grayer charges prefered. Corn
mlssiouer Edgerton, however, has been dis
inclined to join bis colleagues In these
affairs. Ee holds that the Tight of remoyal
naturally goes hind in hind with the pow.
er to appolrt, and thtt therefore the coir,
mission bis no authority whatever to dt
aaad the reasons for diimuals. In h't
opinion the labor of tho commission Is done
when through l' machinery It furnishes 1
au appointing officer with a certification of
four cllglbles from which to select a rc-
quired clerk. Ho does not consider that
tho commission Is called upon to tako care 1
of those appointed from Its list ot ellglbles '
through all time. Commissioner Edgcrton's
views on this subject have practically been
Indorsed by tho President, and they arc,
there therefore, likely to gtitdo tho actions
of tho commission In tho futuro so far as
Investigations aro concerned. II.
