PENNSYLVANIA will do a good deal of voting this fall. We will elect a State Supreme Judge, thirty Congress. men, including two Congressmen.at.

Tne Canadian courts have rendered a decision with which amusements patrons generally will be highly gratified. It seems that Mr. Horace St. Louis, of Montreal, paid 87 for aseat at an oper- atic performance in which the manager bad announced that Mme. Schalchi would participate, but in which she did not take part. Mr, St. Louls demanded the return of his money upon the ground that the manager had not fulfilled his contract, and upon being refused he varried the case to the court where he recovered the price of his ticket and costs, — - Tue season of the year is here when our farmers must invest considerable in binding twine. There isa high tariff on this product that enables all the manufactories in the country to form a great combination which compels the farmer to pay almost double the actual yalue of the article. This immense profit on binding twine is the result of the McKinley tariff and is a tax on the farmer that iu a fow years will create millionaires. Yet there are plenty of farmers who cry “hard times,” but will always lend their influence and votes to keep men in power who are creating laws to rob them of their just labor, Strange, | is besides Harrison ister Lincoln | John Sherman strong probabi | able to concentrate on | dous effort has been mas the |. ol ta du { last few days to ind rec the | | A led upon to run that would | | the | set down as a | “rooting” for Harrison, because | i le during the Mi mnsider his determinat i Blaine ue unsuccessful.

The fur ich the Harrison administration has made such multiply. While one committee of Congress is showing small scandals wl a record continue to up the rottenness of the Pension Bureau and another is helping Commissioner toosevelt to run down violations of the civil service law by Harrison's appoin. tees, documentary evidence is deposited with Congress to prove that “honest” John Wannamaker is not as clean hand. ed as a Cabinet officer and Sunday school superintendant ought to be, The evidence convicting the Postmaster General of using his public office for the promotion of private business concerns | is continued in the memorial of S. F. Leake, of Philadelphia, charging the | Postmaster General with having pre. | vented the adoption of the Leake pneumatic tubes by the postal author. ities in Philadalphia. because there had been deposited with the Bank of the Republic in Philadelphia, to Mr. Wana. maker's order, 7,500 shares of the stock of an oposition company. The memorial which was referred to the Post Office Committee, asks for an investigation, which will undoubtedly be granted, and the opportunity given to Mr. Leake which he seeks to prove the accuracy of every charge which he makes against the Postmaster General. The use of underground pneumatic pipes for trans. porting letters and packages in large cities is soon coming to be general, and of course the Post Office Department will employ them. The Leake company offered to put ina $10,000 plant between the general post office in Philidelphia and one of the important substations free of cost to the Government merely as a test of their system. But Leak says, and offers to prove, that after temporazing with the matter some time Mr. Wanamaker rejected his proposi. | tion and arrunged with a rival company having an inferior system, at a cost of | $40,000, all because of the aforesaid stock which had been placed to his credit, Circumstances connected with the late bank-failure scandal in Phila. | delphia looked a little bad for ‘honest John,” and now this affair may make him regret that he paid a $400,000 cam. paign contribution for the honor of be, ing made Postmaster General, It is true, as the newspapers are charg ing, that Cong ress has shown a disposi. tion to ride over Mr, policy of economy and vote unexpected. ly large appropriations.

Mr. Dill, with his wife, children, law. yers and witnessess are registered at | the Monongahela house, The unhappy banker seems to be suffering great mental agony, for he sighs a great deal when he talks, and he takes long deep breaths, as if to relieve the strain on his mind.
