When the Populists carry it state they are conservative to the extent that they are unable to agree on what they want, and if they happen to pass a bill their Governor kills it. If Spain attacks us on the east, Japan on the west, Canada on the north aud Chili on the south, Uncle Sam will begin to get mud and en nex something more than Hawaii. American weather is sometimes pretty warm, but drouth never de stroys our wheat crop, as happened last season in Australia. Ibis favor ed country is supply itig the Austral ians with their breakfast rolls. The deepest hole on earth is the 4000 foot shaft in a copi er miue in the upper peninsula of Michigan. As the rock at the bottom is worth (8 a ton the hole will he continued in definitely, much to the delight of geologists and other scientists. No tariff law passed in the mem ory of this generation has been as thoroughly acceptable to the people as the one to which President Mo Kinley attached his signature more promptly after inauguration than any President ever had done since Wash ington. The promptness with which Pres ident McKinley signed the new tar iff bill was in striking contrast with the suspense which followed the pas sage of the Wilson bill by Congress. President Cleveland allowed tho lat ter measure to beceme a law without his approval. The fact that the farmers of the West are paying off their mortgaged indebtedness Dag pU( Bac quantities or money into the markets that the loan agencies are offering loans on farm property at reduced rates and on terms more favorable than those of last year. William McKinley took the oath of office March 4 and the new tariff bill was signed July 24, 1897. Pres ident Cleveland took bis seat March 4,1893, and the Wilson bil! was com ploted August 28, 1894, nearly 18 months later. Yet some persons complained about the slowness of the Dingley bill. The Democrats of Montgomery have a big notion to come the whole length of the State for a candidate for Judge in that county this fall There is strong talk that they will ask ex-Supreme Justice C. Ileydrick of Venango county, to stand as their candidate. Though they are going a good ways from home, they could still go very much farther and fare very much worse in their selection oi candidate. Their judgement is ex celleot whether they have enough votes to elect him or not. It is noted that the big city dailies are still hammering away at the new mercantile license bill now awaiting the Governor's signature. The re a on fur this is obvious. The big de partment stores, which reach out iuto every nook and corner of the State and gather in the sheckels which should of right go to the borne mer chant, are the cues most affected by the new law. These great concerns that cover acres of territory do great advertising business through the city papers, aud it is perfectly natural, looking at it from a selGah standpoint, that these papers should think the bill "is all wrong," to ba sure. We dou't think the Governor can afford to veto the bill. It is fair one and will raise the much needed revenue. The Governor has vetoed the Kun kle fire alarm bill. This is what known in legislative parlance as a "snake," and uo one who was aware of its snakey character can believo that tbe Governor ever eutertained the slightest notion of giving his ap proval to it. It was of such a no torously indecent character that up ward of 15 members of tho House, many of whom bad, iu au uuguardud moment, voted for the bill, promptly petitioned the Governor to veto it. We hope to hear that the Governor has written "veto" acress the face of that other equally vicious and noto riously corrupt "suake" known as the Simon electric light bill. He disap proved a bill of similar character two years sgo, and as this cue is much more rank in its tendencies it will undoubtedly meet the same fate. Wheat is now about 20c a bushel hove tho price where it stood a year ago. Wheat goes up while Rryanisra goes down. If Bryanism had gone up wheat would have gone down. This is the relation thai exists be tween the two. A good ninny farmers in tho west voted for Bryan, but they have good reason to be thaukful that he was beaten. No vember 3, 189li, was a great day for the country. Everything is going against the silveriles. They have been insisting that the world could not get along without large additions of the white metal to the currency of the world, and now here comes the gold mines of the world this year with their largest production in history, while on top of that comes the news of the discovery of the richest gold mines in existence in our own Alaska. Add to th is the fact that the whole world iii likely to send us gold in ex change for our splendid crops this year, especially because of the short age of the crops in other countries, and it is apparent that there is to be no scarcity of gold and uo lack of prosperity in the United States dur ing the coming year. The late Isham G. Harris, of Ten nessee, was a member of the National Legislature at au earlier date than any man who is now in public life, but his aggregate service did not cov er so long a period as that of Morrill, Sherman aud a few other ineu. He entered the House of Representatives 1849, six years before Sherman and Morrill, but he dropped out after short service, and did not reappear until a quarter of a century later, when he went to the Senate. When Harris became a member of the House the first time, Webster, Clay, Calhoun, Benton, Cass, Andrew Johnson, Seward, Chase, Horace Mann, Fremont, Hale, Houston, Gid- dings and other meu who Glled a large place in the country's politics of half or two-thirds of a century ago were members of one or the other branch of Congress. The Free Soil party had just oome into existence wheu Harris was first elected, the Whig party was iu power, and the Know Nothing, the Republican nud all other parlies which the present generation of men recollect, except the Democracy, were still unborn. The alien tax law requiring em ployers to deduct three cent per diem as a couuty tax from the wages of ev ery unnaturalized alien einyloyed in this state, has been taken iuto the courts both in Pittsburg and Phila delphia to test its constitutionality It is very important that the validity of this act should be settled at the earliest period. Employers are now required to deduct the tax from their employes who are liable to pay it, aod if the law is unconstitutional the courts bhould facilitate the final de termination of the question. Being a constitutional question, uo matter how decided by the lower courts of Pittsburg or Philadelphia there will be an appeal to the Supreme Court of the s ate, and there is little doubt that wheu that court shall meet in Pittsburg, on the 1st of October, it will advance the case .involving the validity of the alien tax law and thus dispose nf it without delay. The case is not sufficiently urgent to re quire the Supreme Court to hold i special meeting to consider it, but it can he fully argued in the lower courts within a few weeks, giving am pie time to prepare the case fur the Supreme Court at its regular meeting in Pittsburg. Final decision of the question may be expected before the close of the year. Phila. Times. Hard ou Skepticism. The figures which represents the growth of the Christian Eodeavor so cieties, as given in the great cooven tioo iu Sau Francisco, are strikingly suggestive nf the hold which Chris tiauity has upon the American peo pie, notwithstanding all the talk of the spread of "modern infidelity," says the Philadelphia Bulletin. The total membership represented in the convention includes upward of 3,000,000 men and women aud they constitute a Jive, vigorous and ag gressive force, working through al most every chaunel of religious cul ture in the Protestant churches of the Uuittd Slates. Aud this great growth has been the result of tho ac tivity uf a little more limn a decade au activity such us bus never be fore been manifested in like degree iu the whole history of religion in this cuuutry. It is not the Eudeavorers alone, but other societies of a kindred char acter iu the various denominations which attest I lie advauce of Chris tianity among the people us a social, moral and educational power and which will be noted as among tbe most interesting phenomena of Amer lean life in the closing years of the century. The New Tat ia Rill Signed. The Senate passed tho new taiifT bill on Saturday afternoon last a lit tle after 3 o'clock, and wiihin an hour later President McKinley at tached his signature to the bill. Thus l lie work begun a trifle more than four months ngn, has been brought to an end, and the country will not now bo subject to the uncer tainties surrounding a further discus siou of a measure so vital to all in terests of trade; not at least for some time to Come. Of the uew measure tho Pittsburg Dispatch, uou-partisan, says editorially : The record of that lour months' woik on the bill cnutaina many things that have provoked criticism. Some uf that criticism was partisan and exaggerated ; Rome of it was not without foundation. The sober sense of the country approached tho sub ject with tbe belief thut the wisest course was to pass a moderate tariff bill that would permit the subject to rest uutil luiure changes could be made by the expert Work of a tariff board or commissi, n. The high rates tiial formed salient points of the House bill were u disappointment to that conservative view. The Senate took up the work with the avowed intention of rcliCying this feature. But while doing so it loaded tho hill with favors to special interests, at the dictation of Senators supposed to hold pivotal votes, that were even more obnoxious. This caused public opiuion to swing back to the hope that the House in conference would correct those evils. ' The outcome of it all has been that the conflicting forces have to a cer tain extent neutralized each other. The bill is not a perfect one. No omnibus tariff ever was, or ever will be, passed without features that are open to objection. But it is a satis factory result that the Senate has mitigated some of the extremities of the Dingley rates; while the in fluence of the House has cut dowu some, if not all, of the special pieces of favoritism incorporated in the ben ate draft of the measure. Business is now free to go forward without fear of tariff disturbance for years to come. That it is taking ad vantage of that relief from apprehen sion is folly shown by the unanimity or the trade reports on the increase both of confidence aud of actual transactions It is not hazardous to predict that tho restoration of a sound and conservative prosperity will be so unmistakable during the next year or two that before there can be an other national election the disposition to upset things will have disappeared. This will bo less a demonstration of the exact correctness nf every scried' ule in the new tariff than renewed tv idence that what the material inter ests need more than any other one thing is freedom from the fear nf such nverturnings as has been either in flicted or threatened during the past four years But the time may come when changed conditions may require fur ther tnrin revisions. 1 lie means should be provided of making those changes without visiting tbe uncer tainty on business that has acoom panled the late tariff fights. An ex pert commission to correct inenuali ties on scientific principles and to dis pose of each subject by itself should be one of the tirst provisions tor sta bility and safety in the future.
