The Philadelphia Press , after siting down and carefully counting th< cost, has come to the conclusion taat its party is making a vital mistak in per mitting any of its members .o boldly rob the beneficiaries—theofftje holders. The Press can kick up just ai much dust as it pleases and yet the "roluntary (!) contributions" will bo asked for ail the same. But listen: The second circular sent out by the Congressional Committeeat Washington tears the last thin veil from the "volun tary contributions" of which its chair man twaddles, and leaves the exactions of the Committee nothing but compul sory assessments, both in fact and in name. When the Committee, in its second dun, notes "with surprise" that the exactions of the first circular have been overlooked, expresses a hope that the "only reason for such failure" is in attention, and demands by "return of mail a voluntary contribution of 2 per cent, of your annual compensation as a substantial proof of your earnest desire" for Republican success—the plain lan guage of the political highwayman is employed, and the spirit, if not the letter of Federal statute, is violated. A Republican newspaper might con template with reasonable equanimity the injury which the members of the Committee do their own personal re cords by issuing a circular like this, dead in the face of rising popular oppo sition ; but the harm does not stop there. The Republican party is injured. This is much ; but it is more that every such circular adds its share to the popu lar misconception that office under the Government carries with it special party responsibility ; that, while in other em ployers to demand political service is scandalous, in a Government officer it is to be expected that he shall pay for his footing by partisan services in money or in labor. Reform is impossible until this idea is uprooted, until it is under stood that no employer can put an American citizen under any political obligation whatever. The Republican party in this State has set its foot on the theory that public office can be a partisan perquisite. The entire prac tice of levying assessments has been condemned by both wings of the party, and the practical way to carry out the party platform is to pay no assessments. From which we are led to infer that "My Dear Hubbel" is so peculiarly con stituted that with profound equanimity he can look complacently upon the contortions of the poor victims now strung upon the political rack, and as he directs his minions to tighten the screws, exclaims involuntarily, "What fools ar man kind And how strangely inclined !" Owned by the Machine. Pennsylvania has been cursed long enough with machine rule. For fifteen years a combination of political janiza ries, as tyrannical as their namesakes which once dominated Turkey, have controlled our State, and all the coun ties where their power reached. Their rule has been offensive, insolent, cor rupting. The greater bosses have dic tated nominations, while their lieu tenants put them through at the ballot box; neither Constitution, nor law, standing in their way when they wish to count the votes for their nominees. They can always figure up the returns to suit their chief; and they snap their fingers at the good natured voters while they swindle them. For fifteen years they have taught the doctrine that pub lic office is not a public trust, but a per quisite to reward partisans, and a place where the holder is to make money. Their preaching and practice have rear ed in our .State a race of professional politicians who have grown rich without work; are clothed in purple and fine linen, and fare sumptuously every day. Many of them have jumped up sudden ly from the slums to.browu atone fronts; from the driver of a garbage cart to a four-in-hand. Flundoring the taxpayers is probably the least of their offending , they have debauched our politics until it fairly stinks with corruption. One would naturally suppose we have had enough of this sort of thing, but the bosses themselves do not think so. They ask the burdened taxpayers to give them a new lease of power, and put for ward Beaver to catch the votes.—Doyles town Democrat. Pxruna is a sure cure for biliousness nd kidney complaints; it has no equal Senator Hill's Career. SOME OP THE ATTRIBUTES OF THE STATESMAN. Benjamin Harvey Ilill was bo' ' n Jasper county, Georgiu, Septeml ,r ?* 1823. After receiving preliuiiiv'y struction in public and private 'chools in the neighborhood he ene e d U'e University of Georgia, at A' iena > ' n 1841, from which institution' 0 gradua ted with first honors thre^ eal ' 8 l a * or - He went into politics very Par 'y> being a member of the Georg' Legislature early in the fifties. He VS 11 " hls career as a member of the Aro r ' can 1855, when he was 32 ears old. he was beaten for Congress b of nearly 14,000. His reputation as - lawyer and as a stump speaker haipaade him very popu lar throughout Gorgia, and in 1857 he was nominated f °r governor by the American part> and ran against Joe Brown, his col'ague in the Senate in his last days. Brown beat him by some 10,000 votes Hill gained in popu larity, be lost the election. He was n' m > na l e< l f° r a presidential elector oo'be Fillmore ticket in 1856, and agair on tbe Bell and Everett ticket in 1860. Like a g° o( l many other prominent men i' Georgia, he was bitterly opposed to th' secession of that state from the Uni'H, and voted against it in the con vei>ion, but he, with the others follow ed the state after secession had been d/cided upon. He entered political rUher than military life in the con federacy, beginning as a member of the confederate provisional Congress, and was subsequently one of the senators from Georgia while the confederacy lasted. He was in prison for a short time at Lafayette at the close of the confederacy, and then returned to Georgia to practice law. Although he at once jumped into the largest practice in Georgia, the fascinations of political life were so great that he consented to run for representative in the forty fourth Congress and was elected, and re elected to the forty-fifth, and while a member was elected to the Senate and resigned from the House. His term as senator would have expired next March. He and Senator Brown were rival can didates twenty-five years ago for gover nor and were always upon opposite sides in Georgia politics up to the time of the secession of that state, and they were finally brought together when Brown was elected to the Senate in plane of Gen. Gordon, who had resigned. When they met in the Senate their lifelong political differences seemed only to make more strong the attachment which was visible to all. They chose seats in the Senate side by side. Hill never made a speech to which Brown was not an attentive listener, nor did Brown ever speak unless Hill was present, ex cepting, indeed, when Hill was kept away by sickness. Hill was a man of large brain and of rather quick temper. His personal en counter with a fellow senator in the Confederate Congress was one of the tragic incidents of that body. He had however in his older years been able to control his temper, and had mellowed greatly. There was no man on the Democratic side for whom the Republi cans had a higher personal regard, and while he grew day by day seemingly more radical in his Democracy, and came to be recognized as one of the leading men in the .Senate of the so called Bourbon faction, yet his personal relations with senators on the Republi can Hide were so kindly and pleasant that his bitter invectives never left any personal sting. lie even became pleas antly acquainted and associated with Mahone, a thing that at the time of their encounter on the floor of the Sen ate in the spring of 1881 would have seemed almost impossible. Hill's sud den discovery of the fatal disease last summer undoubtedly gavo him more concern than he ever exhibited. He look his seat in the Senate at the be ginning of the session, as Matt Carpen ter did a year ago, knowing that he was a doomed man. Yet he betrayed no sign of fear or apprehension. 11 is philo sophy of life seemed to be broad enough to enable him, as it did Carpenter, not only to accept the inevitable without repining, but also with such Urge show of cheerfulness as to deceive his friends, even his family. They Won't Like ft. The stalwart journals are not at all pleased with the official record of Con troller Pattison. The fact, that under his upright and vigilant administration of the important municipal office which be has filled for nearly five years the debt of Philadelphia lias been greatly reduced, the expenditures of the city government largely lessened nnd the tax rate materially lowered, gives them no pleasure whatever. "He is an hon est man," they admit, "but what of that?" they ask. "There are plenty of honest men who cannot be elected gov ernor," they reply. But it often hap pens that men of sterling integrity in private life are debauched when they become officeholders, they do not hold the public interest as of the same sanc tity as privnte right; or in an evil hour they succumb to the arts and importuni ties of personal and political friends. Robert K. Pattison's public career, how ever, proves him to be not only an honest man but one who cannot be swerved from his integrity by any influ ences however powerful. On this very account he is the man whom the people prefer for the highest office in their gift; and most likely for the same rea son he does not suit the tastes of the Btal wart editors. The latter would have been suited by a Democratic candidate whose public acts did not prove him a man of high moral courage. They don't like Pattison's record, but just what to do about it is their difficulty. It is as unassailable as the character of the man is unimpeachable.— Harriaburg Patriot.

The Stalwarts of the state are meet ing with greater troubles than they an ticipated in securing the endorsement of Cameron and the ring, through the success of their candidate, Beaver. The revolt of the white Independents has produced unexpected fruit, and the colored voter is coming to the front, vigorously demanding the right to vote as he pleases. Ever since the enfran chisement of the negro us a voter n few of the pretended leaders, who, if they have not more brains have more brass than the average colored voter, have as sumed to direct and dictate how the entire colored vote shall be cast, and have gone so far us to demand and re ceive pay for their inlluence in control ling that vote. Tiring of being used as the marketable property of W. D. For ten, W. L. Nesbit and a few others who have captured the organization of the Equal Eights League, to run it for their individual advantage, the colored voters of Pittsburgh last week held a meeting to protest against the actions of these assumed leaders. Mr. Smith, colored candidate for .jury commissioner, was the principal speaker, and denounced the way in which the State League is operated. The resolutions denounce "Forten, Nesbit and the entire ma chine," and declare that the "State League has made its last sale of the colored voters of Allegheny City to the bosses of Philadelphia." The colored voters of Wilkesbarre on Saturday last held a similar indignation meeting, and did not stop at denouncing the leaders who were making arrangements to sell their votes, but went farther and de clared their intention to support the Independent Republican ticket, which they declare is the representative of the underlying principles of the Republi can party. In addition to the revolt among the colored men of Pittsburgh and Wilkes barre, a colored Pattison club was last week organized in Ilarrisburg with a membership of twenty-four, and to cap the climax of negro independence, a new pnper called the Spectator, owned and edited by colored men, has made ils appearance in Philadelphia, flying at its mast the entire Independent ticket. The Spectator is said to be backed finan cially by Robert Purvis and .lames Stills, two of the most influential colored men in the state. It is particularly bitter against Forten, Nesbit, Casey A Co., whom it charges with making money by the sale of the colored vote at every election. Mr. Cooper will need to be looking closely along his lines, for when there is trouble in the colored ranks there is good cause for uneasiness in the camp of the bosses.— Lancaster Intelligencer. The Way To Win • THE SIMPLE ISSI'E IN PENNSYLVANIA. Biiltiiiiorc Day. When ex-Attorney General Lear, of Pennsylvania, an independent from con viction, but in practice a .Stalwart, said to a newspaper correspondent that "General Heaver can only be elected by the aid of Democratic votes" he spoke the language of truth and soberness, as he well knew. The difference in num bers between the Democratic and Re publican parties in that state at the last presidential election was something over .37,000 votes, and no Pennsylvania poli tician would to-day hazard his reputation by the prediction that Stewart's vote will fall below these figures. On the contrary, the Independent candidate is more likely to poll over than under twice that number rendering it impossi ble for Heaver to succeed, unless by the aid of Democratic votes cast openly for him, or thrown upon a Labor candidate so as not to count against him. That efforts in both these directions are be ing made by the Stalwart leaders is known to everybody. Cameron's hench men are straining every nerve to turn the Labor convention, soon to assemble in Philndelpdia, into a Republican side show, which shall nominate a new can didate, to be a Democrat, in order to secure Democratic votes. In pursuance of this line of action Mr. Cameron selec ted all his pension clerks lately appoin ted from Democratic counties, locating them where he thought they would do the most good. No secret is made of his political scheme nor is there any at tempt to disguise the fact that the elec tion of Beaver depends entirely upon the ability of the Stalwarts to carry it out. No Democratic leader or voter can pretend ignorance of the situation. It is so plain that he who runs may read, and whoever of his own accord walks into the tray, or allows himself to be persuad ed by any man for any reason, does so with his eyes wide open. All the Penn sylvania Democrats have to do to win a great victory in this fight is to attend to their own business ami leave the Repub lican factions alone, organize thorough ly in every voting precinct, and bring out a full Democratic vote. The excel lence of the Democratic nominations will secure the votes of many who nev er before supported the party's ticket, as well as of others who rarely aid its election ; but even such assistance, wel come as it i, will not be necessary if the Democrats do their duty. Surely, for the good name of the Democratic party —for the reputation of all parlies—there is but one John Kelley. So far he has had no imitators. Take Warning.

The Philadelphia Press said the other day that at the next Congress "the tariff will receive the most thorough overhaul ing it has had since 18G4." The coolness with which papers like the Press make such utterances is remarkable, as is also the coolness with which, when made, they are received by the Republicans. If a Democratic paper were to promise, speaking for a Democratic Congress, "the most thorough overhauling of the tariff that it has had since 1864," such a howl of indignant dissent would go up, not only from Republican editors and stumper, but from their rank and file, as would set the whole state, if not the entire country, in a ferment. Gurfield by his votes and speeches in Congress hud shown himself a Free Trader, lfancoek, on the other hand, could not be quoted as having ever said a word to indicate that he was antagon istic to the protective theory. He is, besides, a Pennsnlvanian. and as such naturally a tariff man. Yet papers like the Press daily urged the workingmen that in voting for Hancock they would be voting to "thoroughly overhaul" and overturn the tariff, while in in voting for Garfield they would be voting to retain it in its present "honest and effective shape.' In this way—by this grossly dishonorable misrepresentation, thous ands were influence 1 to withhold their support from the man of their choice Winfield Scott Hancock, and accord it to Garfield. With w hat result v With the result of victory for Garfield, and the acknowledgment from the J'rcss, now, not only that the tariff is unfair, un wiedly, burdensome and sadly in need of revision, hut that it is thedistinct pur pose of their party at the next session of Congress to give it the "most thorough overhauling it has had since 1864." Workingmen were asked to vote for Gurfield in 1880 to prevent the tariff from being interfered with. They asked in 1882 to vote for Reaver to make sure of its being modified. The parly which two years ago represented the tariff to be the bulwark of labor's safety, a thing it would he almost sacrilege to touch, is glad enough now to beg support on the ground that, if thej receive support, and are victorious, then Congress will make amends for the crimes of the late session, by giving the tariff "the most thorough overhauling it has had faince 1864" at the next. Democrats properly look upon thene groes as the dupes of Republican tricks ters. They see them support that par ty, year after year, when not one in twenty of its white members but holds the entire race in hearty contempt, and would almost as lief sit at table with an ourang-outang as with one of them. Yet the negroes are no more dupes than are the white workingmen who permit themselves to be inveigled into supporting Republican rings I era, because they are tariff men and want to see the tariff sustained. The tariff has been the excuse for more demagoguery than has been bred in all the other par ties, or attempts at the organization of parties, the country has ever had. On the desk on which this article is written lies open a copy of the July is sue of the Free Trade. Jiulletin, a journal published by the New York Free Trade League, and which, as its name indi cates, is devoted wholly to the advocacy of Free Trade. In it is contained an "address delivered before the New York Free > Trade Club, June 13, 1882," by Capt". John Codman, on "the Iniquity of a Protective Tar ill'." Captain Cod man is one of the most positive and outspoken free traders in the country : yet in this address, a r ter calling atten tion to the fact that the "noisiest dis ciples of the doctrine of protection are frequently the most ready to excuse the importation of Chinese and other cheap labor," savs : "The advocates of Free Trade cannot be accused of any such duplicity. Their doctrine, carried to its finality, as soon as circumstances will admit with justice to exist ing interests," Ac., Ac. Here is one of the rankest of the enemies of a protect ive turilf, who don't want to change it until it can be done "with justice to ex isting interests." The Press, on the other hand, promises that it is to have a "thorough overhauling" right away, which, being in effect an admission that "justice to existing interests" calls for it right away, is fairly construable as emphatic free trade doctrine as Captain Codman'B. Let workingmen give these facts a little thought. They are worthy of it, for they are facts Irom the record— facts indisputable. They certainly ought to. and probably may, result in fewer of them being lured by empty or dishon est tariff harangues into giving their countenance and votes to Catneronism and Arthurism, and all their attendant curses.— Union Leader. The Outlook on the Northern Tier. A Republican writing to the Philadel phia Press says : "1 have recently been traveling through the counties of Pot ter, Tioga and Bradford, and have been taking pains to get the expressions of the Republicans on the present deplora ble condition of the Republican party in this State. You would be surprised to know how well informed the people are on this subject. I find Independents wherever I have been, and the Repub licans who Are giving their support to this Independent movement are not disappointed otiice-seekers, but quite the contrary ; tbey are Republicans who never before knew what it was to op pose their party. They now say they are not responsible for the present break in the party, but claim that Cameron, Quay . It is welt understood that there is a very widespread irritation among Penn sylvania Republicans at the offensive and selfish dictation of Cameron. The feeling extends far beyond the ranks of those who are now avowedly Inde pendents, and it is among thase disaf fected hut hesitating votera that the In dependents should be at work. They will find the minions of their adversa ries already in that field, sparing no ef fort, neglecting no occasion, lavish in promises and everywhere active to hold wavering and discontented Republicans loyal to their present master. The Fn dependents should be no less active and zealoUH to li,l t)if' } ia |f hearted con verts with the lull measure f) f faith and carry them in triumph into th.-irown fold. 1 hey will not be true to their great opportunity and the. cause ot po litical freedom and reform if they con tent themselves with merely defeating General It-aver. If Cameron is over matched by a narrow majority he will live to ronew the fight. 11 is overthrow should be made so disastrous „nd com pote as to leave him among the heat a of slain on the field, politically dead beyond all hope of resuscitation. Mormon Insane Asylum, AN ENGLISH GENTLEMAN'S EXI'ERIE.NCE A r SALT LAKE CITV. SALT LAKE CITV, August 23.— This morning Hon. U. A. Tucker, an Engl; h gentleman from New South Wales, with letters of introduction to the Governors of States, asking permission to visit the insane asylums and jails, published a letter in tin* fitfjuvr givinga. description of his visit to the Utah insane Asylum here. \ esterday accompanied by Uni ted States Marshal Ireland and Mr. Neal, of Louisville, Kv., the father-in law of Gov. Murray, Mr. Tucker visited this asylum, which is under the chatgo of Dr. Seymour if. Young, nephew of Itrigham 'r oung, and three Mormon Commissioners. Mr. I ueker sayr; he found 21 patients —'J females slid 12 mules—in the most (iit hy condition imaginable. Some wt re in iron cages outside the main building, while others were in irons, bound hand and foot. Of these patients two were perfectly sane, and have no idea why they are confined. One of these satio persons is a man named Sherman, who has been confined for ten years, lie was robbed of his wife by a Mormon polygamist and has been confined in this place ever since. He appears to bo a gentleman who has seen better days, and is from the East. This niiin is in one of the cages in the yard, which he Iras fixed in a tasty manner with crude tools of his own nrake. A daughter of John Taylor was for merly confined in this asylum, but has been removed to a private house. Her insanity was caused by her father en deavoring to force her into polygamy. The inmates of the institution are punished with a club and strap—the club for men, the strap for women. Mr. Tucker closes by saying : "I have, tim ing the last four months, visited four asylums in New South Wales, three in Victoria, two in Adelaide, two in Tas mania, three in New Zealand, one in Honolulu, three in California, one in Nevada and the one in Utah, and in no instance have I seen sights so terrible as those of to day."
