The death of Ex-State Senator II.
K. Sloan occurred at 11:10 Saturday
morning. He bad been ill since last
March, but frequently rallied. His
last serious illness began sis weeks
"ago?" lie was 56 years old, and lived
in Indiana, Pa. Mr. Sloau was one
of the Democratic nominees fur Con-gress-at-Large,
and his death will
necessitate the re-conveneing of the
Democratic Stale conventiou.
In New York on Monday corn sold
at i of a cent higher per bushel than
wheat. The price of com was 59
cents aud of wheat 581 cents. Tbese
are the good prices fr r tha farmer
that were promised during the Presi
dential campaign of 1892. The ban
ner that bore the legend "Grover
Cleveland and Dollar Wheat" caught
the hearts of a good many farmers
and tbey voted the Democratic tick
et. The death of ex-Governor Austin
,B1air, of Michigan, removes one of
the few remaining war Governors
who were intensely loyal to the na
tion when it was in peril. Governor
Blair personally supervised the re
cruiting of the Michigan regiments,
and did every thing in his power to
bold up the hands of President Lin
coln. It was men like Blair who
put backbone into tbe timid, who
fought for the right at all times, and
whose example did much to encour
age the Union cause.
The Petersburg (Va.) Index-Ap
peal, the leading Democratic paper of
Virginia says of Cleveland's letter to
Chairman Wilson : "As to sugar, the
President talks of honorable Comoro
miie and of the Democratic doctrine
that it is properly a subject of reve
nue. Thus he practically concedes
to that monopoly pretty much what
it asks. At least that is tbe impress
ion produced by bis letter. But tbe
coal and iron ore of tbe Southern
States must be placed at the mercy of
the ew York syndicate which has
lately made big purchases in Nov
Scotia, and which is prepared to
briog coal into the Eastern States
and there sell it at a figure with
which our mines cannot now compete
except at a loss."
The Senate Tariff Bill Pauses.
Tbe House at Washington on Mon
day backed down completely and
swallowed, with much grimacing,
that horrid Senate bill, and tha re
sult now is that tbe Democrats, after
nearly a year's continuous session
and with an overwhelming majority
in the IIoubo, have been able to pass
a tariff bill which not one of them is
in favor of, and which it is said tbe
President will neither sign nor veto,
i. ... hi ii . ,
uui win aiiow 10 oecome a law in
accordance with the ten day clause
Ibis is the bill which Mr. Cleveland
characterized in his letter as having
all the taints of dishonesty, perfidy
and abandonment of principle
11TI .1 I .. . ....
netnor ne can allow such a bill to
become a law, even by withholding
hi signature, is a question which tbe
American people will have the satis
faction of seeing solved shortly.
I lie program now is to pass a lot
of "pop-gun" bills, taking the duty
off coal, irou ore, etc., but whether
tbese can pass tbe Senate is auothe
questiou.
lue Vcmck thus comueuts ou the
outcome:
"1 be Democrats have a tariff bill
v ibb i wmcu is oeiiner nan, uesn or
fowl, unr even good red herring.
bile it involves tbe main points fu
which tbe Senate contended, and re
presents the complete surrender of
the House on every important prin
ciple for which it contended, it is
doubtful if it suits anybody in par
ticular, and least of all the Demo
crats themselves. But they have
made it and the country will hold
them responsible for it.
"Mr. Wilson bade a tearful adieu
to his bill last week, and this tariff
monstrosity will havo to g rolling
down through history unnamed, un
less Mr, Gorman will consent to rec
ognize it as his own. The coun
try will survive the bill as it has
survived the infliction of a Demo
cratic Congress. The men who voted
for the bill may now go home and
the people will breathe easier. Few
of tbem will have anything left to
which they can point with pride
when they begin making speeches for
the fall campaign."
Thls State Out of Debt.
Recently the question was asked
concerning the total amount of Penn-
ylvania's interest bearing debt. We
have been to some trouble to get
this information, and we are gratified
to state that Pennsylvania is virtual
ly out of debt. Here are tbe figures.
The total debt of Pennsylvania is
$6,816,361.28, but against this and
ready to help redeem it are $1,500,-
000 in Allegheny Valley railroad
bonds and $3,000,000 in United
States bonds, or a totnl of $4,500,000,
which reduces the debt to $2,316,361.
28. Bui there are still outstanding
unredeemed bonds, etc., issued years
ago, some as far back as 1841, which
were called in long ago tbese
amonnt to $135,211.28, and they will
never be presented for payment.
Take this sum from tbe debt, and it
reduces Pennsylvania's total interest
bearing debt to $2,181,150.
Virtually, then, Pennsylvania is
out of debt. A paltry two million
dollars to a Slate that gangs her own
gait with $6,000,000 in her general
fund is a mere crumb of tho cake.
That two million dollars is practical
ly paid, for the money to pay it is
always in sight. 1 he people of Penn
sylvania cau congratulate themselves
on tl6 fact that their finances have
been taken care of by honest Repub
lican State Treasurers. It is a great
thing for a great State to be nut of
debt. A man never feels better than
when he owes nu man a cent, and his
credit is good. Just so with a Slate.
HarrUburg Telegraph.
Let It be Killed.
The fight at Washington is describ
ed as baviDg resolved itself into a
struggle of endurance. The descrip
tion is incomplete. It is a struggle
of endurance and ebarnshootincr.
The President is out with his sharp
shooters of patronage to pick off the
supports oi the other side. Senator
Gorman is out with bis sharp tactics
to outmanoeuvre the President. If
it were simply a contest of endurance
tbe Senators would surely win; but
as other games are being played un
der cover of the slaying qualities no
man can forecast the result.
The President sacrificed tbe whole
moral strength of his issue with the
senate wben be refused to fight tbe
Sugar Trust and showed himself
ready to make terms with it. There
was not enough left in his programme
of difference to justify a conflict,
Nevertheless, though stripping him
self of all moral force, be has indi
cated a disposition to fight within tbe
narrower range. For this reason he
drew the teetb of the House caucus.
For this reasou be seeks tu stretch
out tbe futile conference. The cau
cus was simply abortive ; it certain
ly was inane; it did nothing; and
wbat was more remarkable, tbe
House leaders did not vouchsafe their
followers any information of the situ
ation or any indication of purpose,
But all this fits in with the policy of
protracting the struggle long euough
for an effort to pick off the strength
r.C . I . I -J XT .
ui hid oiiiiir siue, as voorneea was
picked off and others may have
been.
But the country demands a conclu
sionnot the bill but the end of un
ceitainty. A postponement of the
whole question would bring instant
and incalculable relief. Looking at
the matter from a mere party stand
poiut iue passage or tne tanu bill in
any form which is uow possible would
be the worst mistake the Democrats
could make. It would load them
with all the odium and all the inevi
table consequences. While the fail
ure of any bill would bring them the
reproach of doiog nothing, better do
nothing, thau to do something hurt
r..i j ji
iui nuu uieastrous. xt we were
speaking bb Republicans with sole
reference to political effects, we
should hope that the Damocratio ma
jority might succeed in passing the
bill. But such a result would bo
calamitous for the couutry, aud, with
out regard to political considerations,
is tu be deplored aud defeated if pos
muie.
I be later reports turn again iu the
direction of agreement. But ofier
the experience of the post month
nothing can be taken for granted un
til it is nccouipliscd. The Democrat
ic Senators who should boldly take
the bull by the horns and unite in
postponing all action would in this
emergency render the best possible
set vice to their party and the coun
try. rh ila. V-cm, Aug. 10.
