Illalne's 1'laiif
Dltttne's historical studies have been
Intermitted long enough for the cetnbU
nation of a duplex plan of retaining the
army of Internal roveuuo agents and
"Hiving the Malno philosopher a boom for
the Republican nomination. Pcntisylvrv

dentlal fortunes. Naturally enough it

plumed knight directs the manifesto
signalizing his continued presence in the
Hats. The pretext la of that aheit.
sighted, flhrewd sort, that lias signalized
Republican statesmanship Blncethe close
of the war. Taking the ludicrous
aoheme of "Wharten Barker as the basis,
and a request from the oditerof the
principal Blaine newspaper as the cause
Blalne lnvents a sort of golden bait te
the states. He proposes te have thogen thegen thogen
eral government continue the vast army
of Internal revenue caucus workers us
agents of the states. In return the tax
they collect en whisky and tobacco Is te
be turned ever te the states In proportion
te population! The effect of this in.
genleus plain is vividly transparent.
The party in power would, by the adep
Hen of this novel advance in centralize
Hen, possess In perpetuity a trained body
of political janlssaires, controlled by the
central administration and paid by the
atate.
If this was a monarchy Instead of a
republic, there would be nothing start
ling In tills project. As, hewever, the
constitution Is in intent, if net erTcct.the
basis of the union of the states, such a
soheme needs only te be stated te show
Its ludicrous nnoraaleusnoss. It is sig
nificantly characteristic of the igner.vr.ee
or indifference of the Republicans and
their presses te the meaning or existence
of the constitution that this plan Is re.
celved with cordial alacrity. Se far us
it has been discussed, but a single jour
nal of Blaine's party tendencies has dis
covered its incompatibility with the
constitution Ner is it likely, recalling
the conduct of tliejiartj in the past,that
any obstruction se trilling as mis win ue
nnrniltted te Interfere with the plan, if
it be seen that Blaine can be nominated
en It, as the chief plank in the platform.
But uside from the constitutional ob
struction, which past eAperiencc shows
would he no serious embarrassment te the
party, thereare some hitches among the
states that Blaine has manifestly over
looked. Maine, for example, could net
accept the bribe, as the liquor traffic is
Illegal in th it state, and the wages of
the business could hardly ba accepted by
the authorities, even if the "ten lines"
advocated by the projector were adopted
by Congress. Kansas, te, could net
stultify itself by accepting ill gotten
gains from a traillc denounced and for
bidden by Its laws. Iowa, also, is in the
simc category, and there i3 no telling
hew many mere Btate3 may have In.
scribed prohibition before Blalne, as
president, could bring about the work
ing of this moral scheme. Perhaps the
plumed knight ha3 no serious thought
that the preposition will be seriously
considered. Ills purpose maj be te
remind his Pennsylvania fi.eads that
his philosophic pursuits have net im
mersed hltn se much from (tin weild that
he has leit the faculty of delighting his
friends ami startling his enemies.
The Appropriation Hill.
Ofcourcethe governor will vute the
salary bill. It is one net lit te be passed
in the judgment of the wuole people of
the state. The members of Hie Legisla Legisla
tmenre debancd by their interest In the
question fiem deciding it justly , ,et it
Bcems surprising that se many sensible
men should be induced by their sell in
terest te make se uuiightceus an award
te themselves as is contained in an ap
propriation of ten dollars a day for et i
day of the sieslen, whether they were or
were Het present, and regardless tee,
whether the bodies were sitting or in
adjournment. Ne deub' ma..y geed men
have been inclined te itc (or thlj bill
under the belief that the members who
lawfully entitled te jay for eveiy day,
and yet de net propose tlrniselves te
collect their per diem fei the dajsef
their absence. Senater Co.e thinks the
appropriation a lawful one, and that it
is right te give every member an oppor
tunity te take full pa if he cheeses te
claim it. That a member is entitled te
be paid when he 13 absent from a session
without leave, we de net believe. That
the two houses should ngree te appro
priate meucy te pay their per diem dui
ing the days of their adjournment we de
net bellove. That the Senate should
vote its members ten dollars a day during
all the time when it sat for a few minutes
only twice in the week, and distinctly
refused te de any legislation, or te con
alder any etfered It by the Heui is a
clear outrage that cannot be palliaUd.
The benate will sustain the chlet weight
of popular indignation inthis matter ;
for its Republican majority after avow
ing a virtuous determination te refuse
pay for time admittedly net dovetcd te
legislation, has slunk away fiem its ics
olutienand put in an eager hand for the
biggest grab it could get. And this
when ilia known of all men tint the
nesslen has been baulked in the work it
was called te de by the ebstinate refusal
of the Republican Senate te obey the
constitution and change the present ap
portionments for such as gave their
party Ie3s power; bacause it is entitled te
less under the present political complex,
leu of fairly apportioned districts.
Tariff AfrHiitlen.
Mil. Ilelmansaya that he Is opposed
te the agitation of tariff amendment at
the coming session, because the Senate
will be adverse te It, and Hint it will net
be wise for tholleuso te waste valuable
time, needed for Important mensures, In
passing a tarlif bill which will net be
passed by the Senate. That Is n sound
preposition, undoubtedly. It is also
given out by Mr. Carlisle's friends Hint
if he is chosen speaker It will net be his
fault If tariff agitation is started In the
Heuse,
It is remarkable that the man who Is
said te be in favor of tariff amendment is
the secretary of t';e treasm y. I fe finds
himself burthened with n large surplus
revonue and with a necessity for disburs
ing it. It can only be dene by the abol
ition of the internal rovenue, which his
party will net hear te, or by the modifi
cation of the tariff, which it will also
be very reluctant te advocate. Mr.
Blalne's preposition te dlvide the
Internal rovenue among the states
is the only read out of the dilemma,
which accounts for the favor with which
It Is received In Republican quarters. It
I very likely te be put forward In Con
gress as a Republican measure, under
the pressure of the remarkable circum
stances inducing the party te its support.
Its advocates in the whisky producing
states will, hewever, have an embarrass-!
leg undertaking en their hands. It will
be hard te cenvince their constituents
that the tax en thelr state products
should be paid Inte the treasuries of ether
states. It 13 urged, In defense of the
justice of such distribution, that the
poeplo of all the states consume the
liquor which is distilled In v.irjlng
quantities in some of them ; hut
he who argues this gets into
trouble when he encounters states
where the manufacture nnd censump
Hen of ardent spirits Is forbidden by
law. In the states which endure distil
Icries the product is net nt nil in the
ratio of their population ; just as corn
is net produced in the states In propor
tion te their population. The great corn
and whisky producing states are identi
cal. It might with better reason be
urged Hint a tax en corn would be equi
tably distributed among the states ac
cording te their population, since it is
lawful in all the states te grew and con
sume corn.

Fcjulk reformers like Miss Emily
Faithful are agitating the question " what
employments are open te English weuipu
coming te America ?" Te this the answer
i3 simple. Let them enter into domestic
service. Nowhere are tne services of in
tfjlh-eut females rnore needed, and it is
net exaggeration te state that in ue ether
avenue of paid occupations cau woman's
influence for geed be raore ojctcnded. The
tdea that domestic r.crvlce is degrading
bbjtild be dismissed at ence and ferever.
It is true that it sometimes meats boorish
and unfeeling treatment, but the world is
wide and a valuable demtntic in the end is
bound te meet with her duu apprecia
tion. One eftcu hears of the superior advan
tages of life in the rural districts ever city
life in a healthful point of view, but the
cold facts will net bear out this acssptcd
statement. The pure wa'.er, gnsu flildi,

from Washington te his Timet .
The bottom truth nbeut the speaker
ship may be summed up as fellows A
bare majority of the Douiecratio monibers
nre tuore or less directly premised or com
mitted te Carlisle, Including some who nre
mero or less delltntely premised or com
mitted te Haudnll, nnd a declded majority
of the Democratic members would he
heaitilyglad te see lliuidall nominated.
Iho nien committed In ene ivny or another
te Carllsle who doslre Randall's oleetlou
nre two classes First, thore are members
In a number of the Southern states who
for oither political or porseual reasons or
both prefer Haudall, but they are terrorized
by the soctleual mandate that Is ns re re ro
vengoful as it Is despotic, nud, second,
there are n number of Northern and
ospeclally Western monibers who nre fully
convlnced that the opening of the tariff
question In the Interest of frce trnde would
hopelessly dofeat the party in the presh
dentlal contest ; but they have n frce
trade clamor In thelr dlstriets that Is
strong onetigh te dofeat thorn nt home.
Hew far these inlluoncea may restrain the
convletlons or preferences of mombers will
be known te-day, and upon that thread
haugs ths fate of both Uandall nud Oar
lisle. There was vlslble anxlety te day niueng
a number of Mr. Carlisle's supporters in
the bush. They are beginning te nppro nppre nppro
ciate the luovitable result of Carlisle's
clectleu nud they watit te avoid the saorifleo
of nnother uatieual contest and especially
when it threatens te reuew sectional parti
san oppression among thelr poeplo. If the
secret ballet shall be maintained It will be
uotice of peril te Oarlisle, and a contest of
soveral ballets Is new possible Cox will
remain in the field and Is hkely te be
strenger than has bcen supposed. He Is a
conveniont half way house for tnen te rest
who would be compelled toehooso Carlisle
in a square Issue against Haudall.aud I re
gard It as reasonably certaln that n strug
gle 01 several ballets must dafeat Carlisle
His frlends understaud it nnd are demand
ing nn epen vote and the support of all
their following en the first ballet. If he
shall fail en first ballet his defeat wilt be
mero than probable He will lead Ran
dall, as Cox's vete will be two-thirds
Haudall meu en second choice, but If
Carllsle shall fail en first ballet the ohaneos
are that he will be deserted by seme of
theso who are mero than willing te defeat
him ns a politieal necessity. Itaudnll's
position la certainly strouger te night than
it was last uight and he has a fair chance
for success. If thore can be anything like
an unrestrained expression of the convic
tions and wishes of the members he will
recolve n decided majority, but tint is net
assured.
It has been a steady, dead pull en both
sides today nnd te-night nnd neither side
could afford te indulge iu ornamental
demonstrations. The gravity of the
contest has sobered men all around
and the admitted closeness of the
struggle forbids all play far the galleries.
Beth the leading candidates will go into
caucus without anything like an abselute
certalnty of success, and all that can be
said is that Randall has grown iu strength
te day,that he Is likely tocentlnuo te grew
aud that his nomination is at least ovenly
prebable.

It Is n curious oircunistance and oue
omluently worthy of mention that no less
than six mombers of the family of our
present Judge Galbralth have filled posi
tions en the boneh. The first inomber of
the family was James Galbralth, who
enme te this country from the north
of Ireland and sottled lu Lancaster county,
Pa., in 1712 His son, Jnracs Galbralth,
jr , was made judge or Lancaster county,
nnd .afterward of Cumberland oeunty.
Andrew Galbralth, auother seu, was alttt
n judge In Laudater comity, while Rebert,
a seu of the second James, was appointed
president judge of Huntingdon ceuntv.
The eminent Chlof JiKtlee Oibsei' married
a daughter of Andrew Galbralth, making
the fourth judge lu the family te that riate.
Tlie Erie Galbralths are descended from
Jehn (a son et Judge James Galbralth),
who moved te Butler county, about the
beginuing of the century. Of his desceu
danta. Jehn Galbralth was elected presi
dant judge of this district in 1851, nnd the
son of the latter, W. A. Galbralth. in 1870,
both for full terms of teu years. Probably
no Instance of sucli n long line of jurists is
te be found in any ether family en the
continent. As one, at least, of Judge
Galbralth'a sous is preparing for the prac
ticoeftholaw who inherits much of the
family talent, it is net tee much te exjcct
another may yet be added te the illustrious
list of jurists.
