Trouble in t'auip.
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

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 <l majority of 70
votes in a total po> 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.

More Trouble for the Stalwarts.
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.

A Thorough Overhauling.
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 <fc Co., are, they having ruled the
party in such a manner and by such
methods as to drive them from it. They
have been waiting in vain to have the
much-desired reform brought about
within the party lines, but they aay the
last regular State Convention showed
no sign* of reform steps being taken,
and consequently feel justifiable in tak
ing the position tbey have. They hold
Iloyt'a administration responsible for
the pardoning of Kemble and others,
and say a vote for General Beaver
standing on the platform which he does
—a part of whioh "heartily approves
Governor Hoy t'sadministration," would
be a vindication of the members of the
Pardon Board for their motion in par
doning these men,"

WurniugH to Workiiignicii.
Pittsburg Post.
We should think existing industrial
conditions in Pennsylvania, especially
in Allegheny county, would deter Rem
ocratic workingmen from giving aid
and comfort, either directly or indirect
ly to the Cameron machine. They have
certainly not forgotten the appeals of
the manufacturers in 1880, that "Gar
field's election means higher wages and
steady work ; Hancock's election means
lower wages or idleness." That is the
way it was put by the manufacturers,
who were devoted partisans of the Cam
eron machine. Ilow has this pledge
been kept? Let existing labor condi
tions answer. Thousands of working
men are idle, and the pinch of want is
beginning to be felt in some quarters.
Wages have not kept pace with the in
creased cost of living, although the
bountiful harvests give promise these
conditions may bo improved—in the
future.
Remembering these facts, we cannot
si o how Republican and Democratic
workingmen can be induced to come to
the relief of the Cameron machine. It
is undoubtedly in distress because peo
ple will no longer submit to its corrupt
and tyrannical rule; but it should look
for relief only to those who have profi
ted by its long possession of power.
Certainly not to the workingmen, who
have been deluded by promises and
whose present idleness is proof of the
way these promises have been wrecked
l.y the very men who are at the heaij of
the Cameron machine in Allegheny
county. We make no clais appeal for
the votps of workingmen. Let them
vote as their judgment commands; but
it is a duty to warn Democratic working
men against a repetition of tlie same
sort of trickery anil falsehood by which
they were defrauded of the honest ex
pression of their sentiments at the elec
tions of 1878 and 1880.
Cooper's RlufT.
Ilarrihburg Patriot.
Mr. Cooper's assertion that Reaver
"has the Grand Army of the Republic
with him" is likely to put that society
on its mettle. It is an organization
which claims to be entirely non-political
and it is not at all likely to take any
action publicly or secretly which will
make it the partisan of any candidate
tor public office. .Such a course would
disrupt and destroy the organization.
It is therefore plain that Mr. Cooper
does not hold that card and it is also
equally certain that lie miscalls his
hand so far as the National Guard is
concerned. The Democrats in that
body have no moro idea of assisting
Mr. Cameron to pull his cbesnuts out of
the tire than they have of using their
arms to establish a monarchical form
of government. Col. 11. N. Guthrie, of
Reaver's brigade, voiced the sentiment
of the democratic soldiers of the Na
tional Guard the other day when he
declared that he would vote and work
for l'attison and that the report that he
would support Beaver was "a lie and
insult."
As for the labor element, Mr. Cooper's
faith in its credulity anil gullibility is
likely to he shaken before the ides of
November shall have come. The work
ing people hate boss rule with a perfect
hatred and now that they are told by
the stalwart chairman that by throwing
away their votes on a labor candidate
they will insure the election of the
candidate of the bosses they are fully
forewarned of the pitfall into which
corrupt and designing men would lead
them. They will probably resent the
imputation upon their intelligence and
fidelity with as much indignation as the
democratic soldiers of the National
Guard.
Holding the Republican Parly Respon
sible.
From the KufYnlo Courier, (Deui.)
Now that the Hepublican Congress
has increased the ordinary appropria
tions nearly $78,000,(XX), the Republican
papers are trying to show that the party
which has a majority in both Houses is
not responsible for legislation. This
plea should not be allowed. We are
willing to concede that individual Dem
ocrats have voted with the Republicans
in favor of certain measures of extrava
gant expenditure, and we have not hes
itated to find fault with them for doing
so; but the Democratic party cannot
be held accountable for the action of
Congress. There is a working Republi
can majority in the House of Represen
tatives where appropriation bills origi
nate, and the whole organization of that
body is Republican. The committees
that prepare legislation to be submitted
to the House are strongly Republican.
On every occasion when the Republi
cans had a strictly partisan point to
make they carried it. They did not
lack strength in a single contested elec
tion case to oust the Democratic Con
gressman and put n Republican in his
place, when they thought it best to do
so. They had presided over the House
a Speaker who was a rough and ready
partisan, willing at any moment to over
ride parliamentary law to forward the
wishes of the Republican leaders. Now
that they have had things their ovrn
way so long we insist upon it that they
shall take to themselves the prAise or
blame due to their work. They showed
no lack of courage when they changed
the rules arbitrarily to force a vote on a
South Carolina election case; let them
not try to sneak meanly out of their
responsibility now that the day of reck
oning is at hand. In the face of a Dem
ocratic minority they were bullies; we
trust they will not prove cowards in the
face of the public.

It is welt understood that there is a

and selfish dictation of Cameron. The

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."
I.VDTA E. PINKIIAM, whose benevolent
face is shadowed in almost every paper
we pick pp, appears to have discovered
what Addison calls "The grand elixir,
to support thespirits of human nature."
It is quite evident that she has the
patent and has secured the contract for
making over and improving the invalid
corps of American Womanhood.— Globe.
THE thirty-seven Pennsylvania deh
gates, who belonged to the "old guard"
at Chicago, and who are either holding
office, seeking office, or in jail, have not
yet received their "300 medals."
