by the Bosses at Harrisburg.
ANOTHER MACHINE TOOL JAILED

a Year—Penrose Trying to Displace

See Senntor Hanna and the Admin-

the Gong Are Nearly Over.
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
Harrisburg, June 19.—The excite-
ment of the national convention in
Philadelphia and the gathering of del-
egates and distinguished men has not
served to distract attention in the
state from the doings of the machine
and its leaders at Harrisburg. The
sales of oleomargarine throughout the
state go on unchanged, although Gov-
ernpor Stone’s secretary of agriculture,
John Hamilton, now and then brings
a few suits to keep up the appearance
of activity.
Last week Governor Stone gave fresh
evidence of his hostility to the non-
partisan farmers and dairymen of the
state in his refusal to appoint Hon.
Jason Sexton dairy and pure food com-
missioner, vice Levi Wells dismissed.
The difficulty was that Mr. Sexton had
voted against Mr. Quay in the last leg-
islature and that condemned him for-
ever in the eves of the bosses. There
was no question of Mr. Sexton's fitness
or ability. He is a pure, honest, upright
man, but not wearing the collar of the
machine, he was ineligible to the place.
THE NEW COMMISSIONER.
The new dairy and food commission-
er is a Quayite from Chester county,
whose appointment was secured
through the urgent solicitation of those
eminent bosses, Senator William P.
Snyder and Larry Eyre. Mr. Cope is
a farmor, and knowing the injustice
that has been visited on the farming
interests by the corruptionists in the
dairy and food department, is in a po-
sition to do vigorous work. But wheth-
er or not the bosses will permit him to
have a free hand is a question. The
fact is that little need be expected in
the way of improved conditions as
long as the machine and the oleomar-
garine trust hold the farmers of the
state by the throat.
In contrast to the scant courtesy
with which the state cfficlals at Har-
risburgz treat the appeals of the far-
mers for an honest administration of
the pure butter laws is the degree of
deference with which President Me-
Kinley and Attorney General Griggs
have considered the petitions of the
dairymen for the retention of United
States District Attorney James M. Beck
in office. It is quite certain that a
successor to Mr. Beck will not be ap-
pointed until after the Republican na-
tional convention, and it is doubtful
if a change will be made for some time
to follow it.
TELEGRAMS HAVE EFFECT.
The hundreds of telgrams which the
Pennsylvania farmers. acting through
their granges and other organizations,
rained upon the White House, asking
that Mr. Beck be kept in office until
the conclusion of the prosecutions
against oleomargarine lawbreakers in
Philadelphia have had their effect. The
president has been convinced that the
farmers earnestly desire that no
change should be made at this time,
in order that the olcomargarine cases
may not be endangered.
Joth the president and Attorney Gen-
eral Griggs are disposed to allow Mr.
Beck to continue in the service of the
government, especially in view of his
valuable services in the counterfeit-
ing and other notable cases. It is also
recognized here that the contention of
the Pennsvlvania farmers that oleo
trust infinences are behind the demand
for Mr. Beck’s removal are well found-
ed. The only thing that may cause a
change tobe made in the office is the
persistence of Senator Penrose.
Before the latter left Washington
last week he called at the White House
and again urged the president to ap-
point James B. Holland in place of Mr.
Beck. It is understoou President Mc-
Kinley asked Senator Penrose not to
be in too great haste in the matter.
This intimation from the president was
the first to convince Senator Penrose
that the movement of the farmers to
retain Mr. Beck and to stamp out the
illegal oleomargarine trafic was not a
‘“— fake,” as the senator characterized
it a weck before.
ANOTHER TOOL JAILED.
In the courts of Philadelphia last
week another Quay heeler and tool of
the corrupt bosses went to the peniten-
tiary, which Sam Salter and the rest
of his gang escaped by leaving the city
and state forever. John Scullen, a
poor, miserable tool of the Quay ring
in Philadelphia, was sentenced to one
year’s imprisonment for his share in
the Seventh ward election frauds. Sam
Salter is still at large, and it is pretty
generally understood that he is paid
a good salary and made comfortable by
contributions from the leaders of the
machine while he is in hiding.
The hatred of the petty bosses for
anybody who had a hand in the rejec-
tion of Mr. Quay has been manifested
in Philadelphia during the gathering
of the delezates to the national conven-
tion. Chairman Reeder, according to
the Philadelphia Press, declared pub-
licly at the Hotel Walton that Senator
Hanna ought to be turned down.
“I'll tell you, boys,” said Mr. Reeder
to the crowd that surrounded him, “the
opportunity is ripe for calling Mr. Han-
na down, and Quay, Platt and Wolcott
ought to do it. If they do not it must
be because they are too good natured
to do it.”
Some one wanted to know what Han-
na ought to be called down for, and Mr.
Reeder promptly recailed the fact that
the Ohio senator was paired against
Mr. Quay when the vote was taken on
his effort to break into the United
States senate on Governor Stone’s ap-
pointment.
This is the feeling that all the bosses,
big and little, feel towards those who
oppose them and their schemes. But
the days of their opposition are draw-
ing to an end.
West VirciNia’s coal output inereas-
ed from 11,400,000 tons in 1895 to 18,-
750,000 tons last year, giving employ-
ment to nearly 11,000 more men, who
worked every day in that year, instead
of 195 days in 1895. The bank deposits
in that State have doubled within the
same period. Trade failures have de-
creased by two-thirds. The value of
the sheep has increased by 50 per cent?
while the price of wool has doubled.
Tobacco is worth considerably more
money now than under the last Demo-
cratic administration. The lubmer
mills and factories are running full
time, and it is safe to predict that West
Virginia will stay in the Republican
column.

Tie insincerity of the Democratic
leaders on the trust question was dem-
onstrated in the House of Representa-
tive when they declined to vote with
the Republicans for a constitutional
amendment which would have taken
the evil in hand in an effective man-
ner. The Democratic leaders don’t want
the trusts destroyed. They need them
for campaign material.

Business evidently continues good in
all the Western, Northwestern, South-
ern, Southwestern, and far Western
States, according to Bradstreet’s re-
turns of the bank clearings for May
and for the first five months of this
year. In New York the clearings for
May were less than in the same month
last year, owing to the dull condition
of the stock market. But outside of
New York the returns from all sections
of the country show that the bank
clearings for May were $12,000,000
greater than a year ago.

Since the establishment of the tin
plate industry in the United States,
there has been saved to this country
upwards of $100,000,000. We used to
import Welsh tin plate, made by the
Welsh trust, to the value of $20,000,000
a year. The Welsh tin plate trust is
not subject to our laws, and pays noth-
ing in the way of taxation toward the
United States Treasury. Still the Dem-
ocratic party fought tooth and nail
against taking away the trade from
them and giving it to American factor-
ies.

the tarff on all sugar brought into the
United States from Cuba and Porto
Rico, the duties on which last year ex-
ceeded $14,000,000. As the whole of
this sugar is bought by the sugar trust
and its allies, there would have been a
nice little sum to divide among that

Tue Treasury Department has used
about $28 000,000 of its surplus. and will
use about $25,000,000 more, in refund-
ing high priced bonds, thus making a
saving in interest to the Treasury De-
partment. On this account it was not
deemed advisable to reduce the war
revenue taxes at the last session of
Congress. The Committee on Ways
and Means, however, has obtained
leave to sit during the recess, and
should the present rate of surplus con-
tinue, a bill to reduce the revenue will
be pushed through -at the next session.

the last session of Congress were the
gold standard law, bills providing for
the government of Hawaii, Porto Rico
and Alaska, the free homes bill,amend-

law amendment to the Sherman act of
1890, making it as effective and as far-
reaching as the Constitution will per-
mit. These were some of the things
done by the Republican representa-
tives. They also did much to call a
halt on legislation proposed

questionable character.

Just six years ago, the United States
was in the throes of the Cleveland
Democratic panic. From the
Bradstreet’s of June 9, 1894, it is noted
that:
The mechanical department of the
Cambria Iron Works, at Johnstown,
Pa., had cut down its force one-half;
The Bessemer Steel Works and
Blooming Mill had closed, laying off 1,
100 or 1,200 men;

Wabash shops at Moberly, Mo., clos-

Consolidated Coal Company of St.
Louis, Mo., reduced its office force one-
half;
Ohio Central Railroad discontinued
its entire freight service.
The following strikes were also re-
ported against lower wages:
Tug hands and firemen and dredge-

One thousand carpenters at St. Louis;
Building hands, New York City;
Bronze workers at New Britain,Conn.

Some people get it into their heads
