WE paid more than $75,000,000 for
the foreign sugars we consumed in
this last year. The duties paid on
the same were $50,600,000 If we
lemit these duties tbe money will at
onoe go into the pockets of the for
•ign growers instead of those of our
own people. A far better plan would
be to offer a small bounty for every
pound of sugar grown here at home.
In. this way we would not only keep

Republican Principles.
Tbe Resolutions passed by tbe late
State Convention are a dear declara
tion of the principles of tbe Republi
can party, on some questions very
-important to the whole people of the
Nation. The following are the sig
nificant points:
First—A protest against the un
equal representation of the Southern
States in Congress and in the electioa
of our Presidents, by reason of their
depriving tbe colored voters of their
free right to a vote.
Second—Declaring that tbe object
of our tariff system is not for revenue
alone, but for the principle of protec
tion to American labor and American
industries. This is the issue now
between tbe Democratic and Repub
lican parties on the tariff question.
Third—That the surplus in the
Treasury should be applied to Na
tional objects and to the payment of
tbe National debt.
Fourth'—ls a protest against /the
Mills' reduction tariff bill now pend
ing in Congress, and specially against
the effort to strike down the wool
growing business of the country in or
for the benefit of foreign wool grow
trs.
Fifth—Declares for the passage by
Congress of a just and comprehensive
pension bill.
Sixth—Denounces the action of the
Democrats in Congress in refusing to
pass the bill to repay to tbe loyal
States the money paid by them at the
beginning of tbe war to suppress tbe
Rebellion.
Seventh—Exposes the action of the
Democrats and Cleveland's Adminis
tration on civil service reform
Eighth—is tbe temperance resolu
tion, and repeating tbe pledge to sub
mit tbe question of Prohibition to a
vote of the people.
Ninth—ls against the passage of
the "Dunn Free Ship Bill," now in
Congress
Tenth—ls in 'avor of protection to
labor and tbe laborers' family.
Eleventh—Recommends tbn im
posing upon corporations taxation
aqua! to that they have been exempt
ed from bv decisions of tbe Courts
recently made.
Twelfth—indorses the State Ad
ministration of Gov. Beaver.
Pennsylvania Republicans --
Results of the State Conven
tion.
Last week we gave in part the pro
ceediaga of the Harriebarg Republi
can State Convention.
The platform of principles will be
found upon the first page of the CITI
ZEN this week and the action and
vote upoa the nomination made for a
Judge of the Supreme Court was as
follows:
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Shortly before the time tor the re
convening of the convention, dele
gates and spectators began pouring
into the Opera house in large num
bers, and bj the time the convention
was called to order almost all avail
able space was occupied.
The first order of business was the
report of the Committee on Creden
tials, The contesting delegates from
several districts were each allowed a
half vote.
The Committee on Permanent Or
ganization then handed in their re
port.
General Jacob Campbell, of Cam
bria, was then made permanent chair
man of the convention. Mr. Camp
bell was escorted to the chair and
made a few remarks, thanking the
convention for the honor conferred
upon him.
The first business in order was the
naming of candidates for Supreme
Jndge.
Colonel A. Wilson Norris, of Phil
adelphia, arose and in glowing terms
proceeded to place in nomination
Hon. James T. Mitchell, of Philadel
phia, in the course of his remarks he
referred to all the vital issues of the
coming canvass and to the character
and standing of the gentleman as an
able jurist and upright man, during
which he was frequently interrupted
by round after round of applause. The
name of Mitchell was received with
deafening cheers.
Thomas Roddy, of Crawford, sec
onded the nomination of Judge Mit
chell in a well timed speech.
George T. Rodgers, of Jefferson,
next gained the floor and in a long
speech named HOn. Isaac G. GordoD,
the present Chief Justice. The Con
vention received the name of Gordon
with great applause.
T. Dall. Wilkins, of Blair, spoke
on the merits of Judge Gordon and
implored the Convention to nominate
him.
S. MacSwope, of Adams county,
in a speech that Was interrupted time
after time by deafening applause,
placed in nomination Hon. Wilbur F.
Sadler, President Judge of Cumber-,
land county. The meution of Judge
Sadler's name #as the signal for
cheers that made the welkin ring. Mr.
MacSwope reviewed the past and
present life of Judge Sadler, referring
to bis career before and after his ele
vation to the bench.
Major W. C. Moreland, of Alle
gheny, was the next gentlemen to be
recognized by the Chair, and named
Jndge E. n. Stowe, of Allegheny. In
bis remarks laudatory of the ability
and characterof Judge Stowe, Major
Moreland was greeted by consider
able applause.
Mr. Brown, of Lawrence, named
John J. Wickbam, of Beaver.
The convention then proceeded to
the first ballot, which resulted as fol
lows:
Mitchell 64
Gordon —SB
Stowe 28
Sadler 44
Wickbam 12
There being no choice the conven
tion proceeded to the call of the roll
for another ballot.
On the second ballot the name of
Wickbam was withdrawn and the
ballot resulted as follows:
Mitchell 86
Gordon 58
Stowe 2C
Sadler 43
The convention proceeded to the
third ballot, no choice having been
made.
The following is the result of the
third ballot, Cris Magee's Allegheny
delegation having dropped Stowe and
flopped to Gordon:
Mitchell 94
Gordon 68
Sadler 42
There again being no choice, the
roll was again called, and the conven
tion proceeded to the fourth ballot,
Before the vote was announced the
changing of votes began which result
ed:
Mitchell 107
Gordon 5!)
Sadler 37
The nomination of Judge Mitchell
was then made unanimous^
The New Castle Conventions.
In answer to a number of inquiries
as to when the conventions will as
semble at New Castle this year, for
the nominating of the Republican
candidate for Congress in this dis
trict, and the selecting of the dele
gates to the National Chicago Con
vention, we can say that these meet
ing cannot be held before some time
in the early part of June.
The reason for this late date is be
cause Beaver and Mercer counties do
not hold their rearular primaries until
the last of May—Beaver on May 31
and Mercer on May 26, county con
vention May 29.
Beaver county has, by a special
primary, elected her sub-National
delegates to New Castle. Butler and
Lawrence counties have at regular
primaries elected the same. But
Mercer county has not acted in either
Bnb-Congressional or sub-National
delegate matter, and will elect both
sets at her primary on May 26.
Were it not for this late date by
Mercer county the New Castle Con
vention on National delegates could
be held at an earlier date. So soon
as Mercer acts the sub-National dele
gates for the district will likely be
got together. But the Congressional
ones cannot assemble until the "sec
ond Tuesday after the last county in
the district has held her county con
vention." This will throw the Con
gressional convention as late as June
12 The National delegate one can
probably be held a week or two
earlier. They will, in all events, be
separate conventions.
Novel Scene in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, April 24 —Tbe ses
sion in* Senate today was opened
with prayer Rev. Dr. Pereina Meu
des, rabbi of tbe Spanish and Portu
guese congregation of New York,
wbo, according to tbe Jewish custom
wore bis hat wbile engaged in prayer.
This is tbe second iustunce, probably,
in the history of tbe Government,
certainly witbin the last half century,
wben a Jew bas offered prayer in the
Senate.
Presidential Preferences.
Some of the States have expressed
their preferences on the next Repub
lican candidate for President. Penn
sylvania said nothing at her late
State Convention on the subject of
the Presidency. Ohio has declared
for Senator John Sherman. Indiana i
is for Senator Benjamin Harrison and
lowa for Senator Allison. Cullom of
Illinois, Alger of Michigan, Hawley
of Connecticut, Depew, Evsrts and
Hiscock of New York, all have
friends for the nomination. But where
it may land is beyond foretelling at
present. Blaine still seems the un
known quantity, and many think he
will yet be nominated and accept
So far as there has been an express
ion by State Conventions Blaine
would still look to be the favorite. The
following are among the latest.
FOB BLAINE OR DEPEW.
PHILADELPHIA, PA., April 29 N.
Megargee, in bis New York letter to
the Time * today, savs: "Blaine or
Depew with probably Alger for sec
ond place. Tbat is what the Repub
lican National ticket looks like at the
present time from the New York
point of view. If the convention
were to be held tomorrow there is no
doubt that the New York delegation
would vote for Blaine, and that be
would be nominated. Ido not think
it an unwise prediction to make, that
nothing but his death or another pos
itive letter withdrawal can prevent
bis being named again as the stand
ard-bearer of his party. If that second
letter should appear—and some know
ing-politicians insist that it will—then
Depew will be first in the race, with
Allison and Cnllom pressing him
closely. Cullom is engaged in a still
hunt and I happen to know that he
is even now supporting a Presidential
bureau and has at its head one of the
best known of Washington correspon
dents. Gov. Alger, of Michigan,
will start a bureau in his own inter
est in this city, but his Presidential
aspirancy is not serious. He is aim
ing at the Presidential target, hoping
to hit the Vite Presidential bull's
eye, and if .Blaine heads the ticket,
there is little doubt tbat Alger will
be its tail.
STRONG FOR BLAINE.
PARKERSBURG. W. VA., April 29
—On Tuesday Congressional conven
tions in each of the four districts of
this State will be held to select dele
gates to Chicago. The contest is
warm between the Blaine and Sher
man men, with the chances in this
district favorable to the former. It
looks as though Blaine would have a
solid delegation froom West Virginia.
Sherman's greatest strength has been
in this district, and yet the prominent
Sherman candidate for delegate to
Chicago admits tbat the chances are
against bim.
The Blaine admirers, who have
fought for him in every campaign
since 1876, were stunned for the mo
ment by his letter, and bis most ard
ent followers sulked, but they soon
caught their second wind, buckled to
at once, and have been doing Trojaa
work for their favorite ever since.
The First district, in which are the
nail mills, and the Third, where the
coal mines are situated, are both
strong Blaine districts. Blaine has
not lost any of the following, but is
more of a favorite than he was in
1884.
MASSACHUSETTS FOR BLAINE.
BOSTON, April 25. —The Republi
can State Convention, held in Tre
mont Temple today, was called to or
der by Hon. Frederick L. Burden.
Business began with a long address
from Dr. Burden, in which he congra
tulated the party upon its splendid
condition both in the state and na
tion. When Dr. Burden remembered
tbat James G. Blaine had taken up
the Free-trade gauntlet of battle
thrown down by President Cleveland
and answered it with a trumpet blast
for Protection, the fact was develop
ed beyond tbe shadow of a donbt tbat
the Convention was heartily in favor
of tbe Maine statesman, for every re
ference to bis name produced loud
applause three times repeated and a
call from the gallery for three cheers
for James G. Blaine, which was
promptly and enthusiastically respon
ded to.
MRS. LOGAN DECLARES POR ALGER
DETROIT, MICH., April 29.— "A1l
my interest in politics is gone," said
Mrs. John A. Logan to a reporter
last evening, slowly and sadly. "Still,
during Gen. Logan's lifetime I heard
so much of political affairs, and was
so mixed up in them, that I retain
something of the old feeling. It
seems to me tbat the party to which
Gen. Logan belonged should lay aside
political preferences The time ha*
come to nominate a man who they can
elect. Gen. Alger is a safe man. His
availability as a candidate is receiv
ing wide consideration, and 1 have
heard many prominent men discuss
tbe favorable aspects of bis candida
cy in Washington and elsewhere. I
can have but one hope and one desire
in the matter. Gen. Alger was Gen.
Logan's friend. He has been my
friend."
EDMUNDS OR SHERMAN —THE BLACK
MAN STATES HIS CHOICE.
Bishop Campbell, of the A. M. E
Zion Church, arrived in tbe city this
morning. He is one of the foremost
leaders of tbe colored race of the
North. When seen at the Union
Station be said: "I am on my way
to the General Conference of our
church whicb meets at Indianapolis
on the fourth, fifth and sixth of May.
Thiß will be a most important meet
ing as there are from four to six bish
ops to elect, and as there is consider
able honor attached to the office, there
are a number of gentlemen high up
in our church who would not refuse
the office if it was tendered tbem."
"Who are prominently mentioned?"
"I could not name all the gentle
men, but tbe most prominent are Mr.
E. W. Arnott, father of the Arnott
bill, of Ohio, I)r. B. F. Tanner, of
Philadelphia; J. W. Gaines, of Geor
gia; Editor Lee, of New Jersey; J.
M Townson, of Richmond, Va , and
Dr. J. A. Handy, of Washington.
You can put it down for almost a
certainty that five of tbe six I have
mentioned will be Bishops "
"W bat condition do you find your
church in, Bishop V'
"Ah! we find it in a most flourish
ing condition. Us growth has been
euormous. We could ask for uo
more. Since tbe war our member
ship ban increased from 50,000 to
40S.000."
"Where does moat of the increase
come from ?"
"Ob, nearly all of it comes from
tbe Soutb. Before the war we were
well organised in tbe North, but had
00 organization in the Soutb. Wben
tbe Union army opened tbe gates to
the Soutb and went through, we
went through with tbem, and uow wo
hare as large a membership as any
1
■ church in the South."
When asked who was the choice of
the colored meu lor President, a
bright smile overspread his dark face
and in a kind of half hesitation tone
said: "I cannot epeak for all the
colored men, but I can speak for the
majority and for myself, and will say
that if we cannot have Edmunds we
want Sherman.
"Then Sherman is your choice
now ?"
"He is a good man and can be
elected. He will have the hearty
support of the colored race."
"Senator Harrison in an interview
the other day stated that ail we
wanted was a free and fair count in
the South and we would have no tar
iff bill to fight, as there would be no
one to fight it," Baid the reporter.
"Well, I think the Senator was
about right," replied the Bishop. "All
we want is a free vote and there will
be little danger of Grover Cleveland
occupying the Presidential mansion
after March 4th next."
THE GREBHAM BOOM.
CHICAGO, April 30 —The Tribune
today says: "The pronouncement in
Gresham's favor in the Ralleville
German district. Saturday, will have
an important influence in the neigh
boring districts of Missouri and also
in Kentucky,
"The German-American sentiment
is so pronounced in his favor that it
will affect the selection of delegates
favorable to his candidacy in the
Northwestern States. In the Wis
consin county conventions held dur
ing the last week it is noticeable ihat
while the complimentary favorite
son vote has been for Governor Rusk,
the serious sentiment is for Gresham.
"The conventions in all the West
ern States last week have materially
improved the prospects of Judge
Gresham's nomination. He will con
tinue to grow in favor, as Liucolu
did The Republican masses will de
mand bis nomination, no matter
what the party managers may think
about it. His boom is not manufac
tured by machine politicians or liter
ary bureaus, or by traveling agents,
like that ef honest John's, but wells
up like a living spring from the hearts
of the people."
Use For The Surplus.
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 30.
Senator Paddock, of Nebraska, some
time ago introduced a bill, which
has been favorably reported, provid
ing for the erection of Government
buildings in towns where the gross
receipts of the postoffice amounted to
$3,000 par year. Senator Spooner
to day received from the Postoffice
Department some information on the
subject which is of interest. If the
bill should become a law there are 119
towns in Pennsylvania where such
buildings would be erected. Among
those in Western Pennsylvania are
Allegheny, Altuona, Beaver Falls,
Braddock, Bedford, Brookville,
Brownsville, Butler, Clarion, Con
nellsville, Dußois, Erie, Frauklin,
Greensburg, Greenville, Hollidays
burg, Indiana, Irwiu, Johnstown,
Kittanning, Latrobe, McKeesport,
Meadville, Mercer, Monongabela City
Mt Pleasant. New Brighton, New
Castle, Oil City, Scottdale, Sewick
ley, Titusville, Tyrone, Union City,
Uniontown, Warren, Washington,
Waynesburg aDd West Newton. All
of these places have shown a steady
growth right along for the past three
years.
The report shows only three Gov
ernment buildings in the S:ate—at
Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Pitts
burg. It also shows that there are
seventy-nine postoffices whose gross
receipts ares3,ooo,for which no allow
ance for rent is made, and that some
thing over $27,000 is allowed by the
Government for rent in the remain
ing offices.
Judge Moore.
Of the Hon. Jesse Moore, the first
President Judge of Butler county,
Mr. J. Fraise Richard in bis new
history ef Beaver Co., gives the fol
lowing description:
"Hon Jesse Moore was a native of
Montgomery Co., Pa. While prac
ticing law at Sunburv he was giveu
the appointment of President Judge
of the Sixth Judic.al District, his
commission dating sth April, 1803
He removed at ooce to Meadville to
Penn'a to assume the duties of bis
position, which be held, without in
terruption, until the day of his death,
21st December, 1824, in the 59th year
ot bis age.
He was well educated, a diligent
student and a good lawyer, discreet,
upright and impartial in his judicial
opinions and decisions. At all times
he sustained the honor and dignity of
the profession, and is said to have
made an imposing appearance.
A competent eye-witness testifies
that he was a heavy, solemn-looking
man, and retained the dress of the old
style gentleman, small clothes, shoe
buckles, knee buckles, bald headed,
but long buir behind and done up in a
queue; head and hair and collar of the
black coat covered with a powder
sprinkled thereon."
Forest Fire.
BRADFORD, April 30.—A disas
trous forest fire was started by a
spark from a passing locomotive on
the Pittsburg and Erie, Sunday after
noon, at Kane, which raged without
abatement until this evening, when
it was got partially under control
Seventeen rigs and four oil tanks
were destroyed Sunday, and seven
rigs aud about 1,000 barrels of oil to
day. The towu of Swamp Lodge, a
suimrb of Kane, was wiped out of ex
istence Campbell's large sawmills,
located at this place, were totally de
stroyed, including a large amount of
lumber The Cummtngs Lumber
Co , of Cummings' siding, also lose
heavily.
The Liquor Question
The Republican party of Maesa
chussetts has committed itself in
favor of pronounced and progressive
temperance legislation. It has de
manded the restriction of the liquor
traffic by every practicable measure,
and now it calls upon tho National
Republican Convention to recognize
the saloon as the enemy of humanity;
to demand for the people the privilege
of deciding its fate at the ballot box;
to insist that it shall be crippled by
every restraint and disability which
local public sentiment will sanction;
in short to take that attitude upou
the temperance question which will
win to the party all foes of the liquor
traffic aad all friends of good order.

James T. Mitchell, says the
Philad'a Times, was the first of the
young Judges elected in Philadel
phia. He is as genial as he is good
looking' He is fifty three yearß of
age, but looks about ten years young
er. He was born in this city and
graduated from the Philadelphia
High School and afterward Harvard
College, taking high honors on each
occaaiou. He studied law with
George W. Biddle and graduated
from the law department of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, being ad
mitted to the oar November 10, 1857.
From 1859 to 1862 be was assistaut
City Solicitor, under Charles E.
Lex, and in 1871 was elected a Judge
in the District Court over William S.
Price.
Ia 1875, under the new Constitu
tion, he was tranferred to Common
Pleas Court, No. 2, where he served
until 1881, when he was re-elected on
the Republican and Democratic tick
ets, securing the unanimous nomina
tion in both conventions and being
the first candidate to have such an
honor conferred on him. Since then
he has been one of the leading Judges
of the courts and one of the most pop
ular.
From 1862 to 1887 he was the edi
tor in-chief of the American Law
Register, the oldest and most exten
sively circulated law magazine in the
country. He also edited "Williams
on Real Property" aud assisted iu
editing "Traubet Haley's Practice."
He published a history of the District
Court and a book of practice and
rules. He was also one of the chief
reporters of Weekly Notes of Cases
from its iuception, in 1873.
He has through all his legal career
been actively identified with the Re
publican party, and was prominent
ly associated as couusel for the Re
publican party with the contested
municipal elections of 1868, when
Daniel M. Fox was declared elected
over Morton McMichael by about
fifty majority.
No Retailers in Washington.
WASHINGTON. PA., April 30.—The
only retail license asked for in this
county was by Broschart,
proprietor of Auld House. Judge
Mcllvaine filed a decision iu this case
to-day refusing the application. Iu
doing so be said:
"The vital question is not, is the
room or the hotel necessary for the
accommodation of the public, but is
the sale of liquor in the room and at
the hotel .necessary for the accommo
dation of the public. In the abseuce
of any absolute necessity of a licensed
house ?or the accommodation of the
public, the prevailing public senti
meut of the neighborhood against
snch a house should determine the
action of the Court, aud insure a re
jection of the application. The appli
cation is supported by a petition sign
ed by 137 and is opposed by about 300
residents of the ward in which the
hotel is located We have carefully
studied both these lists of names and
haye due regard to the number and
character of the petitioners in favor
of against the application, we are of
opinion the license applied for is not
necessary and the law is mandatory
upou us to refuse the license."
—A New York policemau was
caught stealing from an auction
room, and in twelve hours from his
arrest he had exchanged bis uniform
for the convict's stripes aud was in
Sing Sing prison. How different
from the way the boodle alderman
were served, Caught redhanded in
their thievery, indicted and pilloried
as thieves, yet for months and months
the intricate machinery of the law
was blocked to keep them out of pris
on. Several of them have met with
their just reward and are now in Sing
Sing, but others are free today. This
only »hows the difference between
the man who steals a little and the
man who steals a great deal. And
yet we must concede that the p >1 ice
man was rightly served. Placed in a
position to protect tho property of
others, he betrayed his trust aud got
just what he deserved.

Sudden Judgment Upon a
Mimic.
BOSTON, April 30.—James O'Meara
yesterday moruiug amused a number
of onlookers by mimicking the gait of
a wooden-legged cripple who passed
by. Iu the midst of his mimicry the
leg upon which be was limping sud
denly became rigid. A doctor was
called, and he pronounced it a case of
spasmodic contraction of the muscles
The man WM taken home weeping
profusely, and declariug his misfor
tune to be a judgment upon him for
his mockery.
Methodist Conference Opens.
NEW YOBK. May I.—The general
conference of the Methodist church
opened this morning in the Metropol
itan Opera house with a vast attend
ance. Bishop Bowman presided and
conducted the exercises, Bishops
Fows, Foster, Walden and Warren,
Dr. Quinn and Chaplain McCabe as
sisting.
—A Western journal says that an
Indiana lawyer, who has been look
ing up the matter a little, finds that
there are eight hundred dead laws on
the statute books of that State, every
one of which may be taken advantage
ofbyasmart lawyer. This smart
Indiana lawyer mr y find some ob
stacles in his way wheu he comes to
enforce his dead laws. At the eame
time is there not in this fact over
whelming evidence that our legisla
tures are to prone to pass laws bear
ing upon every conceivable subject,
and many of which they are morally
certain will never be observed. Would
it not be better to have fewer laws,
and have them enforced ? Just how
this "smart lawyer," however, ex
pects to reap a profit it is a little
difficult to understand. At the same
time it has not yet been discovered
just what are the limits for evil of a
"smart lawyer" with a malicious dis
position.
Rev. H. T. McClelland, P. D.,
