Aa Error of Judgment. ' Thaterer may be the final outcome tot the now familiar charge against the police force of this city, It will, we think, be the general opinion that Dr. Robinson erred In secreting the alleged Information for several months and then divulging It publicly without first 'having presented it to the head of the police department or the mayor. His excuse is that he did not know tne mayor had command over the police force, which, exhibits a. deplorable un famlliarlty with the municipal govern ment f but even so, Dr. Robinson could at any time have communicated with the chief of police. Neither the mayor nor the chief would have refused an audience or failed to give to the alleged Information prompt and careful con sideration. The effort to Introduce Mr. Guernsey, a third party, into the episode looks to disinterested observers like an attempt to transfer responsibility. Mr. Guern sey did not utter the public accusation. Why, then, should he be required to prove it? Mr. Guernsey's testimony may be competent as a witness, but it can hardly suffice as a substitute for the testimony of the original ac cuser. The mayor is clearly in the right in declining to hold Mr. J. W. Guernsey accountable for the pulpit ayy i it. Dr. Charles E. Robinson. Senator Quay's bill authorising the lAckawanna courts to use the federal - court room in the government building when not otherwise occupied is a rea sonable measure, which congress will doubtless be glad to pass. The privi lege would be appreciated. Ths Presidency. Mr. Prank G. Carpenter, who lee , lured in this city the other evening, Quotes a lady living in Indianapolis frlng heard General Harrison say: cannot appreciate the feeling I toward the white house and the ential office. It is filled with dis able things, and the president of ' the United States, if he will permit it, could keep. himself miserable all the time. There are so many unpleasant . things In the newspapers, and the life Is one of wear and tear and (worry, X' was guarded myself ' .from tnmny of the disagree- Able things said about me by my prt VaU jMoretary. Mr. Halford never al lowed me to see the unpleasant things (exeept when they were necessary. In suiting letters or unjust newspaper eltlolsms were never presented to me, nd I hardly knew that they existed. X gave directions that they should not be allewed to come into the hands of Mrs. Harrison, -and I supposed they had not. But after her death, among her papers, I found tied up a bundle of such things- In some way she got hold of them, and I really believe It (Was that. which killed her. No," con eluded the president, "I 'have no de sire to go back to the white house. My life there was filled with sorrow, i and X do not want to repeat It." That this Is substantially the ex president's attitude toward the ques tion of the succession to Mr. Cleve land win hardly be doubted, in view Y cf the many similar' expressions with which he Is credited. The great ma jority Of men probably do not have and , cannot have any adequate conception of the continual strain Involved in the ' V discharge of an office' so conspicuous ' ' and so vigilantly scrutinised as the presidency. Says Shakespeare: "Vn , easy lies the head that wears a crown," -' hut it may be doubted If In all the ";j pages of history record exists 'of a ' j crowned head subject to as many cares, troubles and criticisms, to as much political pressure toward unpleasant courses of action and to so much . misconstruction of . words and mo tives as have to be endured by the president Of tHT United States. ', - Among , the sovereigns of ' today we know of none one-half as much "the prey of worritnents. The great ' majority of them are, in fact, little - " better than respectable and easy-going foreheads. ' -; ' - ' To be sure, there are compensations. V ' .

It Is possible tenants for It magnify the glory X -C crroe and- minimise until too ) ' t:t -iVfc responsibilities and sensitive man we could to greater trial than to be . t tsmt years the target of the 1"" t .ana the Verbal Wall. : L Ueet wits of the eon i t- i tketca the president i ererte cf time to get i v tzTt. :-" r- -'i of greatness It Is readily conceivable that they would prove anything but pleasant to the women members of his family, to whom each pointed para graph or barbed caricature must seem like a personal knife-thrust ' It needs, of course, 1o be unacratood that most of this Journalistic flagella tion of the chief executive Is Pick wickian, and ex officio. The motive behind It is aptly explained by Henry tu Carleton in his play "Ambition" when he makes "Senator Heck" say: "on, editors are very much like the boy with the bean-shooter. He had no particular grudge against any froa; In the mill pond, but he couldn't forget that he had a bean-shooter." Prob ably if the wits nnd the paragraphcrs realized that they were Inflicting pain at the same time that they were ex ercising their talents for the ludicrous, they would to some extent amend their way. One cannot crvUIt the majority of the JournaltRts of the country with Intentional cruelty. Nevertheless, the fuct Is Indisputable that the presidency is a bed of thorns as well as of roses. That so many men should want It simply Indicates that for the sake of roses mankind is ever willing to take Its chances among the thorns. Mr. Cleveland's delicate unwilling ness to offend Spain is not shared by the American people. They have no supersensitive tenderness for tyrants. The Succession to Cameron. The Lancaster, Morning News, In a yard-long leader suggesting the work manship of Senator Kauffnmn, arraigns Senator Cameron for various political offences and nominates John Wana maker as the fittest man to succeed him. The News selects Mr. Wana maker as Its candidate partly because he Is personally worthy of trust and partly because it thinks the opposition to Cameron ought to begin to concen trate upon some one manj "With Wan amaker and Smith and Hastings and Graham and Robinson and Brown and Broslus in the field," It remarks, "Cam eron will have a picnic, either in naming himself or his successor." We did not know before that Gover nor Hastings had entered the senatorial lists, and we suspect that the News' use of his name in such a connection is without authority. The governor would make an excellent senator. Of that there Is no poslble doubt. He posseses qualities of manly leadership which would' adorn any public position In the state or federal government; but It Is our impression that should he be pre--sented and pressed at the forthcoming national convention as Pennsylvania's candidate for the presidential nomina tion, he would, even If unsuccessful, pre fer to contemplate the struggle over the senatorshlp In 1897 as an Interested spectator rather than as an active! par ticipant. That his name will be thus presented Is very probable. The popu lar demand for the putting forth by the Keystone delegation of a serious effort to secure the nomination of a Pennsyl vanian for president is evidently grow ing rapidly in many portions of the commonwealth, and It clearly points to General Hastings as the man It has In view. . ' This, If a correct review of the case, would narrow the fight down to three Phlladelphlana and one or two serious candidates In the remainder of the state. Of the Phlladelphtans Mr. Smith has been the most active and coura geous .in opposing Cameronism and, to an outsider, would seem to be the logi cal beneficiary of the adverse sentiment thus aroused. It has been thought that Colonel Watres and J. Hay Brown of the various state candidates are the only ones having elements of sta bility in them. If the field should re solve itself into a fight between Mr. Smith or Mr. Wanamaker or Mr. Gra ham, as representing the ultra anti Cameron sentiment of the party, and Mr. Brown or Colonel Watres, as rep resenting a sentiment of political but not personal or factional antagonism' to Cameron, it would afford an Interesting study, with the probabilities seemingly favorable to the nomination of the rep resentative of the following In sym pathy with Senator Quay. The president's message Ignored the subjects of coast defences, naval Im provement, and the Nicaragua canal. It also dodged the third term Issue. An Important Conversion. The esteemed Washington Post, after a somewhat difficult attempt to main tain an equipoise, has at last had the good Judgment and the frankness to espouse fairly and flatly the Republican side of the tariff controversy. We re produce, in its entirety, the significant editorial in which, this confession of economic conversion Is affirmed. Says the Post: "A commercial policy that reduces our exports end Increases our Imports is so obviously Injurious as to be utterly indefensible. Buying goods In Europe, which American labor and American manufacturing plants are prepared to make. Is good for Europe, but bad for ourselves. The present tariff Is not the destroyer that would have devastated our Industries had the Wilson bill become a law. It has some excellent features which have com mended themselves to general approval. But, under this tariff, we are buying more than we sell, our revenues are In sufficient to defray (he expenses of gov ernment, and, despite" all the Increases, of wages In various Industries, the average of earnings Is by no means up to the standards of more prosperous times. "There Is no necessity for an in creased Importation of any kind of goods which our own manufacturers have ample facilities for supplying, nor can such an increase occur without In flicting an injury on American Interests proportionate to the benefit It confers on the countries from which the goods come. - According to the census of 1890 we had 20,000 people employed in manu facturing earthenware, and they re ceived wages amounting to $10,000,000 a year. Under the present tariff there has been an increase of more than 60 per cent. In the importation of these goods. Where la the corresponding benefit f where have we been compen sated for this loss by gaining a footing In foreign markets'? The census showed 60,000 persons In the leather Industry, With an annual pay roll of (36,000,000. TJnd-- resent tariff we have had a 10 r ' screaee In imports of leath er tr goods.. Has this been t e people of this country T Their votes have answered that inquiry. We had, In 1890, 65.000 people, with annual wages of SSO.OOO.OOO, engaged In the aUk Industry." We do not know the present number or the amount of their wages, but there is an unpleasant sug gestion In the fact that imports of silk and Its products have Increased more than 40 per cent Even In the furniture and wood-working lines, in which we had. In 1S90, no less than 80,000 persona employed, and drawing 145,000,000 in wages, we have an increase of Imports and a reduction of pay. In ''woolen and worsted goods 120,000 persons. In 1890. drew $45,000,000 In wages, but they, or their sucessors, are not drawing that amount now,- for European mills are flooding our markets. These are sam ples from the long list of manufactures, the imports of which have been in creased to an enormous extent without furnishing the needed revenues. t "We are Btill hearing a good deal of talk about 'the markets of the world' and what we can do when we get Into them. But the great fact for Ameri cans to keep in mind Is that the entire commerce of the world does not equal the consumption of the American mar ket Tariffs that increase Imports, re duce exports, and provide revenue de ficits are, as we have told, indefensible on any grounds." It Is a pity that Mr. Cleveland when preparing his recent message, lacked the Post's courage and Its frankness. John Dalzell Is very hopeful that Pittsburg will capture the Republican national convention, and in an inter view expresses the belief that that city's fight Is almost won. Corrobora tion of this comes from Chicago, where the work of gathering subscriptions for a competitive guarantee fund is progressing so slowly as to discourage its chief promoters. The selection of Pittsburg by the national committee next "Tuesday would please every Pennsylvanian and be, moreover, an appropriate recognition of one of the banner Republican localities In the United States. Buying English Ralls. The recent announcement, from New Tork, that 10,000 tons of English steel rails had been sold by Cammell & Co., the Bhefleld Iron merchants, through their New Tork agent, to an American purchaser, has attracted widespread attention. The Chicago Times-Herald was so forcibly Im pressed with the circumstance that it asked for an Interview on the sub ject with President J. W. Gates, of the Illinois Steel company, one of the fore most American authorities In the iron trade. That interview Is well worth re printing. Mr. Gates said: "Whenever railroads wish to buy rails the freight cuts an Important fig ure in the cost, and under the low tar iff of $7.84 per gross ton the American manufacturer Is seriously handicapped. As an illustration take the recent pur chase of 10,000 tons of rails, which I think was made for the San Joaquin railroad. The freight on these rails, all rail, from Chicago, would have been $13.44 a gross ton, and, added to our price of $29 in Chicago, would have made the price $42.44. The English manufacturers are able, on the ground of the lower cost, which Is solely In labor, to produce and sell their rails at the present time for $23.14 a ton. They would have no trouble, in my Judgment, In obtaining a freight rate of $2 a ton .from any English port to San Francisco, as were English ves sels not to take this freight at a low rate they would have to go in ballast, and as there is a large quantity of wheat shipped from San Francisco the boats are glad to get any freight and consider It clear profit over and above the cost of loading and unloading for anything they may obtain. "Taking the present English price of 5 15s, figuring a pound sterling at $4.88, and the cost of the rails at an English port Is $23.14. Add $2 freight to San Francisco, $7.84 duty, and 26 cents for commission and Insurance and the cost of rails laid down at San Francisco would be $33.23 per ton, as against our price of $42.44. As long as the American manufacturer is paying the present scale of wages we cannot hope to compete with the English man ufacturer at any port on the Gulf of Mexico or Pacific coast, unless our freight rate Is under $5 a gross ton. To make this rate of $5 a gross ton would be a hardship to the railroads, as no railroad could carry freight to the Pacific coast at anywhere approximat ing this figure without losing money. As a consequence, as long as the pres ent tariff exists, the American manu facturers will have to content them selves with selling such rails as they can sell to roads in the near proximity of their works, where the freight charge is not an Important item. "I have prepared figures to show what the loss to the laboring man and the railroads and the lako carriers la in the United States or. account of this particular order' having been placed in Europe. These figures I have made up In the following tables; TO THE RAILROADS. On account of 24,000 tons of. ore at CO cents from the mine to lake port..$ 41,(00 On 15,000 tons of coke at $2.75 from the ovens to Chicago 41,250 On limestone, 6,000 tons at G6 cents from the quarries to Chicago.... 2,750 On 8,000 tons of coal at 70 cents from mines to Chicago : 6,600 On freight, 10,000 tons at $13.44 from Chicago to the Pacific coast 134,400 TO THE LAKE! CARRIER. 24.000 tons of ore at $1.05 from port to Chicago ; $ 25,000 TO LABOR, On 24,000 tons of ore t mine at $1..$ 24,000 On coke and hi mining the coal, 15.000 tons at 80 cents at the ovens. 12,000 On limestone, 6,000 tons at 36 cents at the quarry.,., 1,750 On 8,0uo tons of coal at 55 cents' at the mine . '. 4,400 TO LABOR AND MANUFACTURING. 10,000 tons at $5 per ton go.000 . Or a grand total of $316,750 "As transportation represents prac tically all labor." Mr. Gates concluded, "It means that this amount uas gone Into English coffers Instead of being distributed In this country." , We are of the opinion tnat Mr. Gates' statement of the case requires no elab oration. . The Wllkes-Barre News-Dealer nom inates Hon. Charles A. Miner for the honorary position of national delegate from Luserne county, and calls inten tion to his generosity and unswerving party loyalty. The compliments fhlch It pays to Mr. Miner are well deserved r and If one of the delegates be accord ed to .Wllkes-Barre we know )C no other Republican In that city better worthy of recognition than Mr. Miner. The willingness of the average Amer ican to serve his country at a fair, good or even generous salary Is new ly emphasised by the fact that fifty Pennsylvanlana have already volun teered to have their names placed on the payroll of the federal congress. Mr. Reed's popularity In the house, now unanimous, may undergo a shrink age when he names his committees, but It will augment In the country at large It he will Insist upon congress doing its duty toward Cuba, recipro city and the tariff. The recent purchase, in this country, under the Wilson tariff, of 10,000 tons of Sheffield steel rails means a loss to labor and capital In this country of $315,750. And yet Grover wonders why our gold goes abroad. Perhaps Lord Salisbury doesn't care to correspond with a people bearing Ambassador Bayard's recommenda tions. ' Surprise will be moderate over the fact that the message has the hearty approval of Wall street THE MESSAGE. Weak In Its Cuban Rcfereacea-. Cleveland World: "A more cowardly at titude and disgraceful back-down than this can hardly be conceived. To thus openly refuse belligerent rights to this atrusgilng republlo ought In Itself to con demn the foreign policy of the adminis tration to everlasting Ignominy. Wher ever man Is striking for liberty of con science, liberty of action and the brother hood of man, there ought the folds of the glorious Stara and Stripes protect and succor him. Especially la hls so on our own hemisphere. His defense of Spain, like his defense of the dusky monarch of the Sandwich Islands, will be condemned from one end of the country to another as It ought to be, regardiesa of partisan poli tics." Rhythmieally Considered. We've listened, Mr. President, to every word you spoke; You'll always find an awjlnce, air, right here In Pocomoke; Toh witty observations and philosophy profound Are neveh moh enjoyed than by us people on the Sound.

Washington Star. An Example of Overworked Medtoorlty New York Commercial Advertiser: "As a whole the president's message of 1896 Is precisely what might have been an ticipated. Dogmatic In its dealings with subjects Ita author is of all conspicuous public men least qualified to deal with; reptilian in Its cold-blooded freedom from a single patriotic, emotion; oontemptuous of those subjects of which the people most dnslre to hear, and supremely aelf-confl-dent and cocksure In all Its statements. It Is the true Inwardness of Grover Cleve land. A careful perusal of the message leavea a wearisome Impression of over worked mediocrity. Mr. Cleveland, on the denfenslve, Is not an Interesting study," A Pretence of Infallibility. Philadelphia! Bulletin: "The message, like all of Mr. Cleveland's atate papers, Is ponderous in tone, labored in diction and self-complacent, If not egotistic. In Its spirit of infallible wisdom. There Is hard ly a line In It to Indicate that Ita author Is the head of an administration that has suffered the most overwhelming rebuke that the country has ever passed on a federal executive and his party." On Redeeming Faature. Rochester Post-Express: "The most satisfactory thing about the message is that it contains no advocacy of the issue of wild-cat currency by state banks. The president seems to have abandoned com pletely the unwise and dangerous acheme that he advocated ao earnestly one short year ago. We say he seems to have aban doned It; but he may not have done so, as he is very sly even In his official docu ments." He Has No Sympathy. Philadelphia Times: "The president Is very emphatlo In his expressions relating to the murderous outrages perpetrated upon the Arm.nlana In Turkey, but the tone of his discussion of the Cuban ques tion Is In accord with a severe Interpreta tion of International obligations rather than with the unmistakable sympathies of ths American people." Cannot Believe lllm Mincers. Troy Times: "In some respects It Is disappointing, and In moat points unsat isfactory. It la a combination of apologies and special pleading, and one cannot be lieve the president sincere In all of his declarations without forming a poor opin ion of his knowledge and his Judgment" Lacking ia Vigor. Wllkes-Barre News-Dealer: "President Cleveland's message submitted to con gress yesterday lacks the vigor of some of his former messages. It Is a com mon state paper and will not create a sen sation either 'at home or abroad.' " Here's One Word of Praise. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph: "Presi dent Cleveland's message Is a great state paper, and will so be recognised so soon as the partisan asperities which now sur round him have subsided." The Cnokoo Estimate. "Philadelphia Record: "There Is no question that this document will meet as It deserves, the hearty commendation of the country.". , , The Republlean Vordlet. Philadelphia Inquirer: "The president's message Is disappointing in the extreme." A CONDITION, NOT A THEORY From the Washington Post. Whatever Democratic enthusiasts may say o the contrary, the American people have called the Republican party to power because they are dissatisfied with Demo cratic legislation. There can be no doubt In the mind of any Intelligent and thought ful man that the country wants a new dis pensation, r.evenue reform, as exempli fied by the tariff Mil of 18M, haa brought us no relief. As a matter of fact. It haa simply confirmed and materialised the un rest and apprehension that followed the announcement of the result of the elec tions of 1892. Our national Inoeme Is in adequate. The operation of the new tariff haa been to stimulate Importation and to depress home Industries. We are suffer ing under a stesdy drain of goad from the United States purchaser to the European dealer, and the arUAolat and temporary expedients resorted to for the purpose of relieving the strain only emphasise the existing conditions and admonish us of the peril of leaving them Intact The situa tion Is fraught with sinister and evil im port The crying need of some effectual remedy needs no further Illustration. .

The Republican majority are charged with the duty of repairing our deficient revenue, restoring publio confidence In the etabtlty and the aolvenry of the treasury, and restoring commercial and financial conditions under the operation of which the United Btatee will cease to be the debtor of Europe and our gold reserve the victim and the aport of foreign money-changers. There haa been enough of theory and scholastic maundering. JOCULARITIES. A Robbery. Oh, shameful thing! Who could believe true That one so fair would compass uch a deed!
