Is bis report ccon!panricg the new
UKff bill Chairman Wilson sayi it
"will open Urge field for the employ
ment of Ubor". Undoubtedly it will, but
the field and the labor will be on the
other eMe of the ocean.
Whilx hundreds of thousands of
workmen are seeking labor at any
price, wherewith to earn their
dai'.y tread, the new tariff bill proposes
to f ood the country ith foreign manu
factures thereby farther depriving Amer
ican of the means of making their live
lihood. TiioisANus of fxropie throughout th
country are realizing that they have the
'change" they voted for at the last Pres
idential election. The "change" from
plenty of employment at good wajes, to
enforced idleness and the bread of char
ity ia very realistic " Bitter are the les
sons of adversity."

fr authority to increase the National
debt by jssnicg f :X,000,OuO government
bonis. Since the war, nnder Republi
can control, the expense of the govern
ment have been provided for, and the
public debt has been monthly and annu
ally reduced and bonds paid oil before
their maturity. Now comes a Demo
cratic administration, in the first year of
its existence, akicg to borrow money to
defray necessary expenses. This is econ
omy and reform with a vengeance 1 !
Have the wage earners forgotten Pres
ident Cleveland's solicitude respecting
their lot in Is.1?, that year of unprece
dented prosperity? They had gwl
wajes then and were fully employed,
bat the Democratic candidate Tr the
Presidency chose to represent them as
the helpless vk-tims of a evsiem of " op
prtsi;ve Uxat'.on" which "relentlessly
demands frcm them in the purchase of
the necessaries and comforts of life an
amount scarcely met by the waes of
hurl and steady t-jil." Now thousands
of them are out of work, and thousands
rcore are earmiiz ?rea;:y reuuceo wagts.
J I
laud as a benefacto- of the working peo
ple? They have t.al nearly a year's ex-periet'.-j
ith Democracy. Do you think
that it pavs on ths whole? X. )'.
Tunis the way the Pittsburgh Po?.', a
thick and thin Administration journal,
published in the great work shop of this
country, cracks the party whip about
the ears of Democratic members of Con
gress who dare thick of Toting for the
interests of th people w hose represen
tatives they are supposed to be, instead
of endorsing the free trade policy of the
" tariff smashers" who are intent cn
wrecking the industries of the country
and pauperising its labor :
Democratic Congressmen elected or a
tariff reform platform, as everyone of
them was, who propose to betray the
trust reposed in them, vote against the
Wiison bill and support the most outr.
peons taxes simply because some of their
constituents handle part of the pork,
w ill have about the same standing in the
party as legislators bribed and lashel
into the saieof their votes to the highest
bidder. No Democratic constituency, af
ter each a vote, would ei(vt them tuwn
ship dog peltera.
The appointment of Wayne MiVeagfc,
a renegade Republican, as ambassador to
Italy, is the last dose of wormwood the
President has administered to the Dem
ocratic leaders, and the wry faces they
make while swallowing the dose are
enough to excite the risibilities of a dead
mule. McVeagh is man ofabiiity, cf
high culture, and of unexceptionable
personal character, but politically errati?
as a female flirt. He was Attorney len
era! under Garfield, afterwards Minister
to Turkey, became a "civil eervice refor
mer," a mugwump, and consequently a
Iemocrat of the C!e7eland 6chool. He
made three speeches for the Democracy
durin the last Presidential campaign,
and now his reward. His speechts
copae hij,-h, but without the mugwump
support Cleveland could Dot have been
elected. We tender our deepest sympa
thy to the old wheel horses who have
been thrurt aside to make room for the
new convert. Kocm gentleman; rorci
for the accomplished diplomat
Ir is now admitted that the rxu-.h
vaunted " Tariff for revenue" bill which
has been orkeJ np by the Democratic
members of the committee on Wavs and
Means, will fall short about t74.000,OX)
of providing revenue enough to supply
the needs of the govern uient. It is,
theref re proposed to help out the "reve
nue tariff," that wiil not produca reve
nue enough, by increasing the intern:!
revenue iax-s an whiskey, playing cards,
cigirs and cigarette and by imposing a
tax on successions, or, ia other words,
taxing widows and orphans on the prop
erty they may inherit on the death of
their husbands and parents. Thus the
inherited estate of widows and orp' ans
are to be taxed to make up the deficien
cies in revenue caused by crushing onr
domestic industries, and flooding the
country w ith foreign made goods free of
taxation or paying but a nominal duty.
The country can low understand the
meaning of Grover Cleveland's t'eclara-
tion that " the tariff question is a ques
tion of morality." Starve the workir g-
niati, and tax the widows and orphans
T - .1 -.- .. .
au cpeciij qaaiiiicaiioMoi Congress
men Wilson, Breckinridge, McMiiien,
iurcer and Montgomery t construct a
tariff bill in the interest of the great
army of workingmen, for whom the
lcmocratic party pretends great solici
tude, can be judged by their places of
reoioence in wtica they Lave had
auch excellent opportunity to study the
labor question. Chairman Wilson lives
at Charleston W. Va, a city with a total
population cf ; Congressman
McMiiien 's home is at Carthage, Tenn
a town with a total population of 473 ;
Congressman Henry G. Turner lives at
Iluitman, Ga which Las a population of
1 JviS ; Congressman Clifton It Breckin
ridge lives at Pine Bluff, Ark , which Las
a population of less than 1,000; Con
gressman Montgomery lives at Ehia
bethtown, Ky., which has a population
of 2f.:). Not one of these to wns is men
tioned in the census bulletins devoted to
manufactures cf the United States and
their industries cannot therefore be very
extensive. But these are the men h'
drafted the revenue tariff bill which ia
to "revive the industries of the United
S atea." There are in the census bulle
tins 121 cities named where ia 1890 were
employed 2.-31,e79 workers with their
earnings annually reaching the sum of
f 1,313,077,618. None of these inJostria

"For Virtfnia Campaign. G- C-"
Trac tie Ter Trt Tdbune.
It iprrs from the official declarations of
Geni! te, of Virginia, that the PrtaiJeiit
gar him in tfty-doliar biiis to spend
!o the late Ytrg'nla campaign, the chief
feature of wtka was the choic of a LejrU'.a
tare to elect a United States Senator, Lea
being himself a candidate. In other words,
the President is spending money to bring
personal friends Into the Senate at the rate
ofll.G'O per Senator. This amazing per
formance came out as the result of an icres
tigatkn by the Virginia Legislator into the
method which ended in General Lee's defeat.
How many more sucb in vestment a Mr.
Cleveland has been making ia, of course,
unknown. And this is the man who
preaches to American ritiiens about the cor
rupt influence of money in politics, ib.
rands np in solemn and pompons self
rgh'.eonsness and mooes over the decaderce
of public virtue, who rolls his eves over
"lie peril of a debauched suffrage," who
wants "to arouse the American conscience."
who is appalled at the way the "people's
rights are beint; forgotten in the capricious
bestowal of favors," and who begs the pub
lic to vote for him in order that "broad and
d.sinterested patriotism" may have a chance
to pet on its feet again !
Mr. Cleveland bat been showing himwif
in his true colors at a rather lively rate late
ly, and they stand out in no incident more
vividly than in tbe comparison to be drawn
between his ponderous hypocricy in the
Lenox Lyceum and his little note to Lee,
with its icclaeure cf iifty-do lar bills. "Let
me kaow if this reaches yoa eafc-iy. For

Tre Flyer's Fast Time.
The B. Si. O. Flyer was delayed at Cum
berland recently by a wait on connections,
and lost more time climbing up the moun
tains to Sand Patch. At Exkwood it was
reported io minutes late. From Hockwood
to Connelisville is U miles, and there were
no orders againM "making up" time.
Tte engineer H tied himself in the easiest
position he could ond prepared for a run.
Tne speed of the train became fast and the
passengers bejran to take note of it. Then it
got faster and some of the timid persons
wished they were cot on the train. It gjt
faster still and no account was taken of the
short curves, around which the engine fiew
with terrific sway. When ihe train reached
the worst curve on the road, which is west
of Ohiopyle, and where ail trains are sup
posed to slacken their speed, the engineer
kept the throttle open and his engine passed
tbe plate running oh the wheels of the cce
aide.
The speed was at that point over a mile a
minute. There was actual fear among the
passengers. Some of them screamed and

Hanged For Stealing a Hog.
Meapais, Tens., Dec 23. A dispatch
from Jockfon, Miss , says a dead negro was
iuend hanging to a limb in the Felahatcbie
Snanip, rtankinc County, by a paly cf
hunters. A bullet bole was in his head, and
twined round his neck were four pigs' feet.
Near the body lay a dead bog. The tup-
position is that he had stolen the hog and
been killed for the crime.
Ije-ni Allen, a negro, was lynched by a mob
in fiolms County, Mis?., last night for the
murder of Een Nabors, a farmtr. Nabors
lived alone, with the necro as a servant, a
few miles from West Station. Alitn con
fessed bis guilt when arrested, and said he
killed Nabors for gold aod silver he had in
the house.
He Fears Women Lawyers.
Cabliple. Pa., Dec. 21 Ex-Judg Her
man, in speaking of the Cumberland Coun
ty Bar's refusal to sdmit Miss Ida Kast as a
awyer, assumes that women are bright
enough! fcirall professions except the lw.
This opinion has created a vast deal if
amusement here. He said :
While lean een that women may be
physicians, journalists, ministers, telegraph
operators, clerks and typewriters, it dots
not follow that they can compete wiih men
in the profession of the law, where the ablest
men are found and pitted one against anoth
er. I don't believe women are qualified."
Statesmen Threatened.
W.niSGTo.v, D. C, Dtc. 22. A crank
ca'ling himself Joseph Don Jam of Passaic
street, Newark, N. J., is wanted for writing
threatening letters to Vice President St"vcn
son. Secretary Carlisle and Senators Sherman
and Mills. Yesterday Mr. Stevenson got an
other letter from Don Jam demanding t,
and givicg bis address as 15 Eutaw street,
Baltimore. Chief Drnmmond of the secret
service has apprised the Baltimore authori
se" CLarles H. Mills, the senator's son, to-day
obtained permission from the local courts to
carry a pistol for self-defense.
Half Breeds Not Indians.
Wai-utsw,, D. C, Dec 20. An interest
ing precedent has been creattd by the Ia
t?rior Department's approval of the opinion
of Assittant Attorney Genera! Hall, of that
department, in the case cf Black Tomahawk
vs. Jane K. Waldrcn. This decision holds,
with the oonimoo law rule, t!:at the eft"
s;rii:g of fret persons follows the condition
of the father. Thus, a child cf a white
father and aa Indian mother is not an In
dian. This decision will strike from the
rolls of the various Indian tribes many
mixed bloods who are now drawing rations
and annuities as Indians.
Holiday Cheer.
The holiday season is close upon us, and
every household in the land is preparing fur

It begins to look as though the Wilson
tariff bill will be made the subject of consid
erable guerrilla warfare on the part of the
Democratic members wnea it is finally in
troduced into the House. Rumors have
been abroad for some days of the formation
of a combination of eastern Democrats for
the pnrp3e of nniting with Republican
votes to secare higher tariff cpon certain
articles that have hitherto been heavily pro
tected. No actual substance can be found in
these rumors yet, but there is evidently
some influence at work to this end and the
managers of the bill are banning to grow
anxious and are utilising every means possi
ble to bring out the party whip and consoli
date the Democratic vote to pass the bill in
Its entirety.

Voting In School Houses.
Superintendent of Tublic Instruction
Scbaeffer is biuerly opposed to the holding
of elections in school bouses, a common
practice in Pennsylvania. Hf says it jsdeie
terions to the children in many places and
the sooner it is stopped the better. '"It takes
a day t x up the voting booths according
to the new ballot system," said Dr. Schaefltr
"and another day is spent in holding the
election and counties the result. If the chil
dren return on the morning afWr the elec
tion so that a third day may not be lost they
sometimes fiud the 2oor covered with tobao
co juice atd all sorts of rebfcish or newiy
seratbed and ia the process of drying.
-When evening comes one child may Lavs
croup, another tore thrust, another a coogh
aad at tbe close of every election some chil
dren are carried to the cemetery. Herod
slaughtered the innocents at Bethlehem
with malioe prepense, these are slaughtered
in the name of popular gov-rnmect. Ohio
is not guilty of this sin fora law upon her
statute bock prohibits the holding of elec
tions in school bouses in that sia'e. Is the
Buckeye child better than the child of the
Keystoce state? Who will ome to the res
cue of our children.'' Speaking cf the an
nual convention of the Slate grange, Pairons
of Husbandry, in session in Harrisburg last
week Dr. SchafTr said . "A large portion
of our population are engaged in farming
la my judgment the principles of agricult
ure should be tangbt in every rural school
ton a Ikr as possible. The problem before
the farmer to-day is bow can be put brains
as well as toil into the soil. The teachers
needs text book giving tbem a body of
knotrie-ige that shall be helpful to the sons
and daughters of our farmers. Here and
there intelligent farmers are showing how
agriculture can be made as profitable as the
' majority of other vocations."
A New Pension Order.
Pension Commissiouer Loch ran, Thurs
day, issued the foilowirg order : Pension
certificates issued under the second section
of the Act of June 27, lsX. will no longer
tpecily particular disabilities. In such
certificates, where the maximum rating of
"12 per month is allowed, the certificate will
state that it is for "inability to earn a sup
port by manual labor." Where less than
the maximum rating is allowed, the certia
cates will state that it is for "partial dis
ability to earn a support by manual labor."
Whenever, in case of a pension granted
under said section at less than the maximum
rate a higher rate is subsequently sought, the
application for such higher rating shall be
treated as a claim for increase, and not as a
claim because of a new disability, and the
increase, if allowed, will commence from
the date of the medical examination show
ing the increased disability.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Prraj
says: 'The State fhould demand Le:ur
teachers and longer terms and increa.-ed sal
aries in return for the increased State appro
priation. It was an inexcusable oversight
on the part of the Legislature to give a J-V
0 00.000 appropriation and attach no condi
tions beyond the general requirementa of
tbe school laws. There are districts that
levy a school tax at the rate of only one mill
on an assessed valuation of one-half, and at
tbe tame ti me run a term of only six months
and pay Ibe s'.icgiest of saltriej. Tbe State
should refuse to extend its benefits to such
localities. The people who pay taxes hate
a right to demand teachers amply qualified,
but those who are qualified have an inde-feui-ible
right to demand incrtastd school
terms and increased salaries ; and, above all,
the children and parents for whose benefit
schools exist have a right to demand these
things or l!)e reason that ia thus benefit
ing the teachers those who are taught will
also be benefited. Let us have teachers of
superior qualifications, and let us also have
schools open instead of closed from Apiil to
June and teachers decently paid."
