V. R. Andrews,
Secretaries.
Representation In this convention will
be the same as In the last state conven
tion. The president Is to bo rnmmonilctl for
taking Ills tlrnt- In sclectliiB the Vene
zuelan I'ominisHsion. Its work Is im
portant enough t warrant conserva
tism and line judgment In the creation
of It. Xo other coininlssslnn In Ameii
cun history ever had before it a, more
tlelicute tank.
"Downing" Tom Reed.
Secretary Carlisle lius not emerged
from his recent occupation with the ox
Heeted eclat. It Is common talk In
Washington that he and the president,
or, more accurately, the president and
lie, have determined to down Tom
Keed. The president thought he hud
put a noil Into the speaker's coflin when,
in the wake of Ills popular Venezuelan
message, he launched another messnge
to congress asking it to forego Its holl
iliy vucatlon anil pass bills for the re
lief of the nation's linnnces. It was nr
Kued In the white house that If lteed
adjourned congress without nctilm, he
would call down upon his head the In
diKnnnt censure of the country, whereas
If he kept the house in session, there
would be a hopeless ppllt on the free
silver issue and nothing would be done.
Mr. Reed's answer to this challenge
was characteristic. Within two .lays
the adjournment resolution was pigeon
holed and a tariff bill passed providing
$40,000,000 more revenue the most ex
peditious response which the lower
house of congress has ever made to a
presidential appeal. In three days more
a bond bill was ready for the senate,
authorizing the issue of 3 per cent,
bonds In place of the 4 and 6 per cents,
provided for by the present law. The
president was beaten at bis own game,
and beaten so badly that the best he
could do In reprisal was to get Secre
tary Carlisle to come to the front with
on Interview declaring that the govern
ment had all the revenue It needed
which was so transparent a falsehood
that It everywhere provoked derision
and that the only thins needed of con
gress was a law authorizing the re
tirement of the greenbacks, which
would mean a $500,000,000 contraction in
our currency.
But now another chapter is added to
this bit of history, in the discovery that
all arrangements for a new issue of
bonds under the old law had been, per
fected weeks before the present con
gress assembled, and that consequently
Cleveland's message and Carlisle's ln
tervlew were neither of them written in
Kood faith, but were simply put out at
this time with a view partly to embar
rass Mr. Reed and partly to give the
administration a pretext for adding an
other $100,000,000 to the nation's bonded
indebtedness. The figure cut by the
president and his secretary of the treas
ury in the light of this information is
on,e to which they are certainly wel
come. If they can stand it Tom Reed
certainly can, for it is making him daily
stronger as a presidential candidate.
"When the time comes, it Is a safe
guess that the Luzerne national dele
gates will be chosen, one from Upper
Lehigh and the other from West Pitts
ton. The Trodden Worm Turns.
Mayor Swift, of Chicago, was lately
invitcu to do present at a banquet given
by the Civic Federation,, Chicago's lead
ing reform organization. He not only
necepted, but also prepared a speech ex
plaining in detail the city's municipal
needs." WHen -he 'got 'through, other
npeakers, belonging to the federation,
fololwed with scathing denunclatToiisrof
the mayor's administration, attacking
with especial virulence the police and
fire departments. This unexpected
fusilade quickly brought the mayor to
his feet; and the Impromptu remarks
which he made In reply have not yet
ceased to echo in the ears of his audi
tors. ' - -
It was easy, he said in substance, for
well-fed burghers to gather In swell
clubs and over their coffee and cigars
murmur. at. the growing ..costs of city
government and to propound sapient
theories for the betterment of things in
general. But he had noted that When
ever an honest servant of the people
tried to rally this "better element" to
his support at the polls In practical
methods of reform. It generally pleaded
another engagement or, when the pri
mary came round, forgot to go out and
vote. It was no secret, added the mayor,
why Chicago was misgoverned. It was
misgoverned because those who have
the ability and the character to govern
it well shirk their duty and abandon the
Meld to the possession of the ignorant
uses and the knaves. Iiut when a
crooked franchise or a shady "job" was
to be "worked" through council by the
purchasable votes of the members to
whom tha better element have abdi
cated political authority, he had never
heard of a well-dressed critic of municl
pal government whoso scruples pre
vented him from buying stock in the
steal or pocketing the resultant profits.
For his part, the mayor said, he had de
termined hereafter to decline to sit
patient under criticism which should
rather be aimed at the careless elector
ate behind him, or to take the pummel
Ing of professional reformers whom lie
knew to be eager panderera to the appe
tite of dishonest couucllmen for illicit
spoils, or abject suppliants for exoner
ation from honestly incurred taxation.
It Is needless to say That this speech
created a sensation; but it Is significant
that the mayor Is almost universally
sustained. Ills language was caustic,
but it Is conceded that the provocation
warranted it. Municipal reform Is too
often ncademic and rhetorical, rather
than practical, sincere and real. The
Idea thut it citizen's duty to the city be
gins and ends with the rending of a
quarterly essay at the club on "(lood
(Jovernnieiit," while till the rest of the
time he is at liberty to make fulse prop
erty returns, dodge the assessor, shirk
the primaries and set up schemes for
mulcting the city through fuke fran
chises or rotten contracts needs just
some sharp, detonating explosion as
was given to it by Chicago's mayor.
There are two sides to every question.
Let those who would reform the city by
preamble and resolution be sure that
their dally walk and work are In accord
with their public profession.
If their performance kept pace with
their promises, there are some men In
the "Independent Republican" camp in
this city who would be great politicians,
Concerning Political Advertising.
A question of journallstie ethics has
been raised in Lancaster county by the
confession of Senator Kauffman that
he has recently offered several Repub
llcun weekly papers money to insert
articles booming John Wanamaker for
the United States senatorshlp. Says
the senutor, in reply to criticisms of his
action: "I believe In printers' Ink. Up
on my own responsibility and without
the know ledge or consent of Mr. Wana
maker I met some representatives of
the county press and showed them ar
ticles which I wanted them to print in
their papers, and for which I paid
them, as I would for any other political
matter, and just us I have paid city
and country papers for like services In
the past. It was an open business
transaction, with nothing mysterious or
secret about It."
Apart from the surprising Interest
taken by Mr. Kauffman in Mr. Wana
maker's candidacy this circumstance
apparently presents no point of novelty.
If the senator from Lancaster wishes
to buy newspaper space for the exploit
ation of Mr. -Wanamaker's political
wares, we can see no reason why the
proposition should not be regarded as
resting upon a basis Identical with that
of Mr. Wanamaker himself when the
latter advertises the wares for sale In
his celebrated bargain store, provided
of course, that there is no deception
It would not be fair to palm such paid
political advertising off as original
news or comment; but In its proper
classification among (he advertisements
it Is as legitimate a feature of the news
papers as Is the baking powder an
nouncements or the patent medicine
cuts.
The incident, however, suggests an
other thought; and it is economic
rather than ethical. It occurs to us
that Senator Kauffman is wasting his
money. We do not know anything
about his financial circumstances and
cannot therefore say whether his pres
ent patronage of the newspapers Is
dictated by promiscuous philanthropy
or by shrewd self-Interest. But if it
be the latter, we make bold to suggest
that a safer plan of Investment would
be to expend money on a Journey to
Washington followed by a personal vis
it to Senator Quay. It Is possible that
the newspapers of Lancaster county
may have something to do with choos
ing Mr. Cameron's successor, but we
suspect that Senator Quay will have
even more to do w ith It. Hence we ad
vise our senatorial friend not to dissi
pate his resources on non-essentlals.bttt
rather to present his case at headquar
ters. Under the present system of pol
itics In Pennsylvania that would be a
very much more practical method than
to try to appeal to public sentiment.
Public sentiment Is a good thing; but
it sometimes Is not to be mentioned be
side a "pull."
Mr. Smaliey warns Americans that If
they don't look out the Rothschilds will
refuse to buy their bonds.' Brother
Smaliey must have forgotten what hap
pened during the civil war. The Ameri
can people, if necessary, can take care
of their own bonds.
The newspaper publishers of Chicago
have decided to drop the chromo pre
mium and the fake guessing contest,
and expend their energies on printing
better newspapers. We have heard of
no one ready to deny that their deci
sion is wise.

We. Judge from the Record that
Wllkes-Barre is to have a Sunday ob
servance crusade on the basis of being
holier than Scranton. Why not leave
Scran ton entirely out of the problem?

A few days ago a woman in a Southern
town was burned to death by a mob of
representative citizens who were dis
satisfied with her matrimonial inclina
tions. If this had happened in Turkey
or China what a strong argument It
would have been In the Interest of ex
tra missionary recruits!
Senator Quay's resolution looking to
the building of six Instead of two new
battleships is a wise one. Every time
we add a battleship to our navy we In
crease by so much our prestige as aj
nation ami decrease by so much the
chances of war. It Is yet a fact that
might conserves right.

It is probable that there will he a wry
tlred man In the white house before the
job of downing Tom Reed is completed.

The president may postpone the new
bond Issue for several days, but there
seems to be now no doubt about him dump
ing one or two hundred millions into tne
jups of the .MorK&n-Heunont syndicate at
un early date. He has mace up his mind
that the treasury can get no Immediate
relief from congress, and the sooner the
deed Is done the better It will he tor tne
country, tin Tuesday Senator htkln, 'uf
West Virginia, uttemptcd to get a hill
through prohibiting the 'president Hiid sec
retary ot the treasury trom 'gelling bonds
to syndicates to keep up the surplus, but
it was choked off by the administration
LMuocruta In quick order. Senator Kl
klns is not uppoied to the Issuance of
bonds, but he wants them properly adver
tised and sold to the people at the lowest
tntcres '. possible. In other words lie wants
It to b a popular loan. That Is just what
President i ievelaiid doesn't want und he
will not have It, either.
II II l!
A bill may be Introduced In the present
congress for the purchase of property In
the northwest section of Washington or in
u nearby suburb for the purpose of erect
ing thereon a new executive munition for
the president and his family. A new exe
cutive mansion is badly needed. The old
one, known as the "white house," Is u
disgruce to the nation. It is not only old.
and too small, but Is located in an tin
hearthy part of the city. It Is in almost
the vei v heart of the malaria district, and
It Is no wonder President Cleveland and
his family do not reside In It any more
than they can heip. Mrs. Harrison's death
four years ago was due largely to the
bad location and poor sanitary aiTHiige
nients of the white house. It will be re
uiemhered thut she had plans made for
both a new executive mansion and the re
modeling and enlargement of the old one,
and hail she lived and been mistress or t He
while house four years longer she would
doubtless have accomplished her anibi
tlon. Other occupants of the white house
have died from 'the malarial poisoning
which Houts about that neighborhood.
Kcntitsaw Mountain 'Landls-. of t'hlca
go, who was appointed the other day to
te special assistant I lilted States attorney
for the northern district of Illinois to aid
III the prosecution of the Iteef Trust, Is
well known In Washington. Me wus the
private secretary to the late Secretary of
State (tresham. and is a young man of
more than ordinary ability. Secretary
Oresham once told me that young l.undls
was the brightest and ablest lawyer of his
age he ever knew. The way l.andls hap
pened to get the name of "Kennesaw
Mountain" came about in this way:
His lather, General Lundls, was at the
battle of Kennesaw Mountain when he
learned of the youngster's arrival. Im
mediately upon ihe receipt of the news
he telegraphed his wife to name the off
spring after the mountain upon which he
was then lighting. The old general .is
still living anil is very proud of his son.
Young Lundis was of Incalculable value
to Secretary Oresham when points of law
were to be decided in the department of
state. Secretary Uresham Is said to have
frequently referred the gravest questions
of law as well as diplomacy to his young
secretary, and Invariably accepted his
opinions as ttnal.
Dr. H. I.. K. Jonnson, a prominent nliv
slcian of this city, is the possessor of a
rare document which he prizes very high
ly, especially at this time, as it contains
the signature of the author of the Monroe
doctrine which Is now ugltatlng the minds
of all Americans as well as Englishmen
It Is a soldiers' warrant granting to I).
(Irillln, a member of 'Buck's company
Sixth regiment, lTnlted States Infantry.
ItiO acres of land In the then territory of
Illinois for services rendered this govern
nient In the war of 181'.'. The document is
written on parchment, and contains the
signature of James Monroe, president, and
Is countersigned by Josiah Thelgs. com
missloner general of the land ollice. Dr.
Johnson not only values It lis a relic, but
also because It belonged to his father,
who was an intimate personal friend
of President Monroe.

It Is a rare thing to see a member of
congress appear In the hall of representa
tives In an intoxicated condition, hut an
occasional one sometimes forgets thut he
is a gentleman and makes a show of him
self. Years ago it was not an uncommon
thing for a member of congress to appear
in the house under the Influence of the
Mowing bowl, but those days, happily
have about passed. On last Snturduy a
memoer from Pennsylvania created
scene by Interrupting the proceedings
when under the Influence of liquor. It was
not his llrst offense, either, but out of
charity for himself and family I will not
mention his name.

A Tribune reocrzv at Honesdale, Wayne
county, has written to me to know if a
United States senator gets more salary
than a representative in congress; also
to tell him what salary a cabinet officer
draws. A senator and member of con
gress get the same salary fj.mio a year,
and a cabinet olllcer draws ?S,0U0 per an
num The vice-president, who acts ns
president of the senate, and the speaker
of the house draw the same salary as a
member of the cabinet. The president's
salary previous to Grant's second term
was only $:'5,iX per year. It Is now $.Vi,0im,
which is not any larger than some coun
tries pay their ministers and ambassadors
to Washington. Koth Kngland and Mex
ico pay their representatives in this city
that amount, in addition to house rent
and other perquisites. Very few mem
bers, senators or cabinet olllcers can live
In Washington on their salaries. Those
who haven't an Independent Income re
turn home bankrupt at the end of their
terms.

Kx-rot!Rresman William A. Sipe, of
Pittsburg, was here today. Slpe.'who Is a
Democrat, doesn't think much of his par
ty's chances of success in the Smoky t.'ity
next spring. The Municipal Keform tick
et, which contains two Democrats and one
Kepiiblican, has put M". Sloe's nose out
of joint, and he will not support It. Both
of the candidates on the reform ticket are
worshippers of Harrlty, and the State
Democracy, of which Colonel James M.
Uuney is tne leader In Pittsburg, will also
MKeiy oppose mem.
Chairman Andrew's, of the Penrose
smelling committee, which is investiat;ng
the alleged political rottenness in Phila
delphia, paid Senator Quay a visit on
Monday. Senator Andrews wants to gn
to .the national convention as delegate-at-
large, and he will probably have his wish
gratified. He Is Senator Quay's man Fri
day and with the senator In a convention
without Andrews would be like the play
of Hamlet with Hamlet left out.
