PENSION CosiinssioNEß TANNER is an
nounced to deliver several speeches
throughout the country. The govern- j
ment would save money if lie were
kept busy in speech-making and so
precluded from touching tlie treasury
surplus.
THREE-FOURTHS of Harrison's time is
gobbled up by office-seekers, wlio are
us numerous and blood-thirsty as Jer
sey mosquitoes. Although it is four
and one-half months since the inaugu
ration Washington is filled with the
unrewarded politicians of the Dudley
brand.
PERHAPS it is essential to ."going
through the forms" to be making all
this investigation iuto tlie way in
which Pension Commissioner Tanner
lias misused the power and discretion
of his office, as if there was any room
for doubt about it, but it really does
look like piling Pelion upon Ossa in
the way of absurdity.
OF late there seems to be a desire
in many parts of the union to allow
women to take part in the election of I
school officers. Missouri lias just i
granted them this privilege, being the !
sixteenth state to do so. In time this |
franchise may probably be extended
to letting them have their say in all
elections. What effect such action
would have upon politics remains to
be seen.
FEW would believe that the sugar
trust has been so successful were it
not for the authoritative declaration
of its treasurer, who says: "Our
aim has been to keep prices down."
As prices have gone up four or five
cents a pound since the trust began
operations, it makes one dizzy to
contemplate the altitude they might
have attained if it hadn't boon for the
trust's aim.
IF the whirligig of time shoud land
Murat Halstead in the senate, which
body rejected liim as minister to Ger
many, there will be a great rattling
of the dry hones, for Mr. Halstead
can take very good care of himself
when he meets antagonists on even
terms. The taste of the average Ohio
man for office is such, however, that
Mr. Halstead may find some rivals
for the place when the legislature as
sembles. That legislature, by the
way, is not yet elected and it is by lie
means certain that it w ill he Repub
lican.
THE life of an editor is anything
but a perpetual elysiau dream, as
some people seem to imagine. He
who works for the public lias a thou
sand masters, each of whom insists
upon being served iu a different way.
This is exactly the position the editor
finds himself in. Do the best he can,
be as conscientious as he may, and
somebody will take umbrage at some
thing—either done or not done by the
man of the quill. He stands on the
verge of an abyss, as it were, and step
as carefully as be may, lie is sure to
walk 011 somebody's pot corns. I'lr.
THE howling of Southern Republi
cans lias brought Harrison to a sud
den realization of why he was elected.
Ho lias already found out that there
are thousands of office seekers who
are yet out in the CJII! - even though
flu's is flic month of August. The
way lie shoveled out offices and ap
pointments to the South during the ;
past few weeks lias shown that Con
gressman Brower's threat to turn the
speakership over to the Democrats, j
because the South was being ignored,
worked like a charm. It also showed
that Benny is easily bluffed.
THE eiglit-liouv movement is tlie
most important among these reforms
which arc immediately attainable, be
cause it lias in it flic elements of per
manency and progress. I Uglier wages
merely effect a temporary bettering
of conditions —a depression in the
market may force them back to the
old standard or below it in a few
months. But shorter hours is a step
in advance toward the ultimate end
of a vital change in the relations of
labor and capitalism. It means op
portunity and leisure to read and
think. It gives the chance for self
education. Let tlie eight-hour sys
tern be once obtained and put in force
all over the country for a single year,
and at the end of that time the labor
reform forces would lie so much
Htrengthed, their manhood developed
and their intelligence quickened to
such ft degree that 110 power 011 earth
could restore the old order of things.
The reduction in the hours of labor
is one of those revolutions that never
move backward. *lottrtutl tinted

Tlie Tight i* Certainly Spreading.
If the Republican newspapersthrough
; out the country continue their incessant
! growling at our beautiful system of tax
ation some of them will he liable to find
themselves grazing in pastures far away
from Camp Harrison before the next
election. From the North, East and
West comes mutterings which are des
tined to operate against the Republican
party before long. It is the pensions
which trouble them now,and that staunch
G.-0.-P.-forevcr organ, the Phila. Even
ing Telegraph, will jump the traces soon
if it is not properly cared for. It says:
The present pension system, as Com
missioner Tanner has in a few months
demonstrated, needs to lie entirely re- i
vised, hut there is little reason to believe
or to hope thai it can be justly or judi- I
eiously revised. It is easy enough at
present, when the prosperity of the peo
ple is so great and common, for Senator
Plair and his associates to talk so glibly
about Corporal Tanner exhausting the
surplus, as there is plenty more money
where that came from with which to re
fill the government's strong box, but it j
will not be so easy if a protracted period
of depression, such as that which ended i
in 1879, should come again. The strong I
boxes are filled by fureal contributiona
upon the country by taxation, and for
years, past, during the most prosperous
years, there has been an ever increasing
demand for fewer and lower taxes. The
people are growing tired of filling the
strong boxes for Congress in its reckless
generosity to empty. They do it now
! reluctantly. Should business depression
I come, as it is always likely to come, they
would not do it at all; they would insist
upon a material reduction of taxation.
The party that in the near future shows
that it is inspired by the spirit of econ
omy is likely to be the best esteemed
and the most successful at the polls; and
the party that places the pension system
upon a more equitable and patriotic basis
than it now rests upon will not lose in
popularity, public respect and confi
dence.
Abolish It -VII Internal and External.
The New York /Sun, the only journal
in America which thinks protection
should be a Democratic doctrine, gets
soliloquizing occasionally, and wants to
know whether the people wish the con
tinuance of protection or the upholding
of the somewhat similar system of inter
nal taxation. As the difference between
both systems is not worth an argument,
we fail to see tlie necessity of either
while all revenue can he raised in a
more direct and in the only equitable
manner by placing all taxes upon the
value of land. Nevertheless the Sun
would like to have one or the other, as
may be seen by the following reniaks:
It is perfectly easy to provide the neccs
j sary revenue by means of that system
I known as tlie internal revenue system,
j with which we have become familiar
during the last 25 years. It is, properly
speaking, an excise system, and it can
easily he made to produce all the revenue
that is necessary for the needs of the
j government economically administered.
Thus all duties on foreign importations
| may at once he abolished, and the United
j States may he brought to the enjoyment
I <>f perfect free trade with all foreign
nations whatever. The custom houses
may be shut up and every product of
every other country may he admitted
free of duty. It is for the people to de
termine which of these two systems they
will have. If they wish for free trade,
they can repeal the tariff and rely upon
the internal revenue; and, as we have
said, it can easily supply all the needs
of the government. If they do not wish
for free trade, then they will be obliged
either to abolish the internal revenue
system and to agree with Thomas Jeffer
son that it is an infernal system; or else
they will have to reduce it so greatly
that its abolition will he a question of
comparative unimportance. Free trade
is now within the reach of tlie American
people if they desire it. Do they?
Totting llallot Itc>form.
The Australian system of balloting,
which in a modified form has worked
admirably in Grout Britain and Louis
ville, Kentucky, is to govern the election
to be held in .Massachusetts next Novcm
! her. It is urged in advance that "its
I effect must be to render more difficult
any attempt to oppose the workings of
the party machine." How is it, then,
that the party machine has everywhere
bitterly opposed the introduction of this
system? Is the machine given to throw
ing away chances to increase its power?
If by any bungling or in any attempt to
do too much at the start the Massachu
setts statute was improperly drawn and
opens the way to possible abuses while
attempting to euro existing evils, the i
actual operation of the law will teach
other legislatures how to avoid the
danger. It will not bo the first time
that Massachusetts has been a pioneer
in needed reforms. We do not, how
ever, give much weight to the objection
that "it will he possible under the new
law to prevent bolting caucuses from
getting their nominations on tlie official i
ballot." If this were so it is quite cer- |
tain that the machine managers would ;
favor the law. As a matter of fact all
the ballot-reform laws passed in this
country have permitted (as they could
not legally deny) every voter to make
any alterations which he might desire in
the official ballot. The "divine right"
<f bolting and scratching is not in the (
least impaired. On the contrary it is
provided that a sufficient number of
; voters to give dignity and importance to
any revolt against either of the party
machines may have the names of their
candidates printed on the official ballot
at public expense. If the Massachusetts
law permits the regular nominations to
he delayed too long to allow of an in
dependent movement it is a defect which
can he easily remedied. Ballot reform,
1 which will insure the privacy and protect
the integrity <f the voting, must precede
all other n-forms, and it is hound to
come.
NewHpnpon and Tlielr Critic*.
The critics of the newspaper press are
many, but not always so well informed
regarding the subject of their criticism
as they should be; consequently, they
are often wrong. Considering that the
severest critics of the newspapers are of
the pulpit, it is pleasant to find so emi
nent a clergyman as Rev. GeorgoS. llorr
of Jiostou speaking, out of his accurate
knowledge of them, in the language of
judicious ami deserved commendation.
At a public dinner given the other day,
Mr. llorr, in response to the toast "The
Press," said :
"People are very apt to blame editors
for the scandalous matter that is found
in newspapers, and yet if they could for
a little while step inside of the editorial
office and see how much salacious matter
is suppressed, how editors have put
within their hands weapons to strike j
down reputations and characters, and
see how that matter is put into the waste
basket, I think, instead of so much pro
miscuous condemnation of the press, you
would wonder that thepressof the coun
try, take it all through, is as good as it
is. It is a testimonial not only to the
morality and high principle of editors,
but to the moral tone of the community,
which is constantly demanding that
newspapers shall not be salacious and
scandalous."
It should he said, in justice to them,
that very few of the critics of the news
papers have enjoyed Rev. 11 orr's privi
lege of being made familiar with the
inside of editorial rooms. They base
thier criticisms upon the public journals
| which are laid before them. In some
they see those things which obviously
should be left out, though we do not
think many newspapers which are con
sidered respectable and which are read
by respectable persons often offend by
publishing salacious matter. In journals
which are well thought of there may too
frequently be seen scandalous, flippant
articles, or such as invade the sanctity of
homes and personal character, the publi-
cation of which docs not honor journal
ism, but even these offences of a part of i
the press are becoming less common. A i
higher and better ideal of newspaper
work is controlling the minds of those !
who control American journalism. The
press is not at all perfect. It still possi- J
bly errs against wisdom in many ways, |
but not in so many ways, nor so griev- |
ously as it did in its earlier state. The j
improvement in the general spirit of ;
journalism is not only proceeding con- j
tinually, but to a marked degree.
As Mr. Horr says, the reading public
see only the worst of the editor's work
when it sees something which has escap
ed his scrutiny, possibly at a late hour of
the night, when all is hurry and con
fusion, and when both his brain and
hand are tired, or which he has con
sidered neither in good conscience nor
wisdom. What the reader never sees, j
or knows about, is the great mass of j
rejected matter —rejected because of its !
lack of human interest, or that it is
salacious, scandalous, sensational, per
sonal or inspired by either viciousness,
malice or ignorance. That which is
permitted to go into the respectable
newspaper appears to be great in quail- f
tity, but it is often much less in quantity \
than that which does not go in, and
which the editor, respecting his office j
ami jealous of the good influence of his
newspaper, has thrown aside.
The critics of the newspapers arc no
doubt right to insist that the improve-1
ment shall be carried further, and it will j
be, and not the less speedily, because of
the criticism of those of wise, honest
judgment. There arc many public jour-1
nals in this country which long ago
proved that a newspaper may be wholly !
void of salaciousness, scandal or sensa- !
tionalism, and be as interresting as, or 1
even more interesting than, if it pander- j
ed to vicious taste. As a rule? we are j
convinced the tendency in every re- |
j>utablc editorial office is to present a
newspaper clean and good, and worthy
the favor of those of the best intelligence |
and highest morality.— lViila. Public i
Ledyer.
A l-'ulscliood or Ignorance—Which ? j
As the single tax theory of Ilenry '
< icorge and Doctor McGlynn has been
declared in opposition to the doctrines of
the Roman Catholic church by some
prelates of that body, its adoption by D. !
A. 10, K. of L., at the recent convention
at Carbondale may lead to some interest-'
ing discussions. It would have been a
wiser and more conservative course to j
have let that question severely alone. ,
In the present status of the Knights they
should be careful not to attempt any- <
thing that may tend to alienate the neu- j
trality if not tactic endorsement of the
Roman Catholic church which it took I
such a severe struggle to obtain.—Wilkes- 1
Bar re Newsdealer.
The writer of the above should ac
quaint himself with the single tax theory,
the doctrine of the Roman Catholic ■
church and the principle of the K. of L. I
before making further comment upon
this question. Such statements are ,
made for malicious motives, with the
intention of injuring the single tax cause,
of which the Newsdealer is a most ardent
hater. The writer will confer a favor ;
upon many in this and his own vicinity
if he will furnish his authority for the
statement that the single tax theory has
been condemned by the Catholic church.
Come on, speak out.
A Singular Election Het.
During the prohibition campaign a
well known brewer of Allentown and a
machinist made an election bet to the
effect that if tin; majority against prohi
bition was 40,000 the machinist was to
have a glass of beer for every hundred
in excess of that majority. As the
majority was in round numbers 188,00(1,
the machinist was entitled to a glass of
beer for every hundred of the 1411,000 in
excess of the 40,000, or 1480 glasses,
which makes over three barrels, allowing i
4AO glasses to a barrel. As the machinist
did not consider himself quite competent
to get away with his three barrels of
beer, he good-naturedly furnished all
the beer that was needed by the
employes of \V; F. Mosser's foundry and
machine shop at their annual picnic at
llclfrich's Springs Saturday. There was
a surplus left which he will dispose of at
his leisure.
D. A. 16 In SeHNlon.
P. A. IG, of the Wyoming region, held
its semi-annual session at Carbondale
last week. Several important matters
were passed upon at this meeting and
among others the single tax question,
which was introduced by P. 11. Gilleran
of L. A. 222, received considerable atten
tion. General Master Workman Pow
dcrly spoke upon this subject, also upon
ballot reform. He recommended that
ballot reform be discussed in every local
assembly at least once a month. Mr. j
Powderly also introduced a resolution
requesting President Harrison to refuse i
to appoint Thomas Furlong as Chief of j
the Secret Service Division of the Federal |
Government. Furlong was chief of the j
dctciftive force of the Gould system of i
Southwestern railroads during the great
strike of 188G, and it was he who gave j
the order to lire upon the strikers. The !
committee on legislation reported a reso
lution urging the enactment of a single
tax law upon the actual value of the I
land, irrespective of improvements.
The committee on resolutions present-'
ed a report which is here synopsized :
Renewing allegiance to the principles of
the Order and expressing confidence in
the general officers; indorsing the Gen
eral Master Workman's plan for an edu- '
cational.campaign; expressing sympathy I
with the miners in the block coal fields !
of Illinois and Indiana who are now on
strike, and assuring them of moral and
financial support; requesting the General
, Assembly to hold its next session in
; Seranton; refusing to vote for legislative
candidates who will not pledge tliem
, selves to vote for ballot reform, including
the Australian system of voting or some
I similar system, and representatives must
; also pledge themselves not to enter a
caucus on these questions; denouncing
Austin Corbin of the P. <& R. R. R. for
denying to labor the same right to erga
! nization and co-operation that is con-
I ferred upon capitalists by the state; con
| dimming the Pennsylvania legislature
j for its failure to enact the laws asked for
Iby the workingmen of the state; con
i dimming mine inspectors for their failure
j to enforce the mine ventilation law and
asking for an increase in the number of
inspectors and suggesting that they be
j appointed on the recommendation of the
! qualified miners of each inspection ilis

College Men Now Hull I'luyerM.
! The college men in the baseball pro
fession are beginning to make a mark.
It offers them congenial occupations and
j large pay. Of the players in the nromi
i nent nines many are under graduates,
j who nilrslie their studies in winter and
play ball in the summer, thereby earn
ing enough to defray all the expenses of
their education. Sanders of the Phila
j ilelpliia club took a course of civil
engineering last winter, Gunning of the
! Athletics was in attendance at the
medical school of the University of
1 Pennsylvania, Knowlton of the Easton
club is a member of the Harvard Medical
| School, Garfield of the Pittsburg club is
I studying at Oberlin University, Mead
anil Gab ill of the New Haven team are
graduates of Holly Gross College in Wor
cester, Tyng is a Harvard graduate.
Wagenhurst comes from Princeton, and
many other instances could be mention
ed. Nor must the cases of John M.
Ward and James H. O'Rourke of the
: New York club be forgotten. The
former took the course of political science
in ColunTbia College, and with the latter
attended the lectures in the Yale Law
I School, where t hey received their degrees
j of I.E. IE, and were afterwards admitted
| to practice before the bar of Connecticut.

Let tho Boys Help.
Why is it that the hoys are allowed j
to sit iu ilie house doing nothing, while
their overworked mother is struggling
against nature and fate to do about
half the work waiting for her
hands? Only the other day, says
Household, we saw three large, able
| bodied boys, lounging about the house, '
not knowing what to do with them- •
1 selves, while their mother alone, tired
| and pale, was trying to do the work of
Isi large family and company. Not a
! hoy's work to help about the house?
| Way not? Is there anything about
| washing dishes that will injure him,
or that he can not learn to do well? or
about making beds, or 8 woe pi ug, or
1 setting the tabic, or cooking a plain
' meal of victuals? On the contrary,
there is much to benefit him in such
work, tin; most important of which is
| to gain the idea tiisit it is not manly to
let the "weaker vessel" carry all the
j burdens, while it is possible for strong
1 young hands to help. Most boys
would gladly help iu the house if they
were asked to do so, and were taught j
how to do tho work properly. Many a
smart boy wants to help" his tired
mother, but doesn't know how, beyond
j bringing tho wood and water. That I
done, she tells him to go and play,
while she plods wearily on. Not a
boy's work? For shame! It is a pos- \
itivo harm to a boy's moral character
to allow him to think it right for him I
to be idle while his mother is stagger
ing under her burdens. Let the boys
help, and those who can't get help
"for love or money" will see their
troubles disappear.
Fashionable Stationery Cards.
The various ornamental, high-color
ed stationery recently in fashion is
already discarded by p rsons of good
taste. A plain white, in cam-white or
an English-blue paper are the only
colors now used. Correspondence
cards are entirely out of date. Three
sizes of paper are used by society
women; the largest is a sheet about the
size of commercial note paper for let
ters which may be folded ouee and fit
i a large, square envelope, or twice and
lit a long envelope. Tho next size is 1
about half an inch narrowor and an
inch shorter. This is for notes and the
tiny billet-note is reserved exclusively ;
for regrets and acceptances. All invi
tations are answered now in an infor
mal manner on a sheet of billet-note |
paper, except invitations to church
weddings which do not iuclude also
sin invitation to the reception. Visit
ing cards for ladies are engraved in
script on largo and nearly square cards
of heavy, uuglazed card-board. A
gentleman's card is exceedingly small
sind slender, of thin card-board. Tho
dinner cards are long, slender shapes
of rough etching-paper, delicately
painted with a wild rose or violets, or
decorated iu colored metals and often
tied with a ribbon to harmonize with |
i the decoration. — Good Uouaekccuina.
PROSPERED IN THEIR NEW HOME.
Southerners Who IIHVO Accumulated
Wealth North of Mason aad Dixon's
Line.
Little by little we see the transfer of
white individuality from portions of
tiie southern states to the north, says
Gath in the Cincinnati Enquirer, These
emigres from the south never return.
Here is Inman, the genius of railway
and telegraph matters in the southern
states, who came to New York a clerk
out of the rebel army, I think. He
| is a smart fellow, though nowaud then
you hear the opinion expressed that ho
would make a deal with his grand
mother and pick her dry. New York
is good enough for him. Here is It.
T. Wilson, who, during the war, was
something of a contractor for beef
and supplies to the rebel army. Ho
csinie from East Tennessee. Since
Wilson came here, a large, mild man,
chielly notable for working himself
almost to death in his banking-house,
and for his excessive tenderness to his
young children, he has married these
youngsters into the Astor, the Goelet,
and dually into the Herbert family, of
England. His daughter's brother-in
law is the earl of Pembroke, who in
, habits the celebrated Wilton house, at
the town of Wilton, where they make
the carpets, in England, and which I
visited two years ago aud described in
your columns. Wilton house is full
of elegant paintings.and marbles, and
; bears the record of having entertained
Spenser when he wrote "Arcadia,"
and Shakspeare when he came down
to play before King James 11., a visi
tor there, with the Shakspearean troupe.
Strange is this world when we find an
old contractor for mule meat to the
confederate army and hustler for rail
road bonds in New York, and cotton
factor for everywhere, linking himself
i with si family which runs back to the
1 piratical ages about and before Queen
Elizabeth. Where is the equality of
! this world? You do not hear of Mr.
K. T. Wilson inhabiting a sunny grove
somewhere in (lie bowers of his youth.
Fifth avenue is good enough for him.
Some years ago I had a talk with
young V. K. Stevenson, whose father,
of the same name, and Wilson and
Duncan Keuna and one or two others
were in a pool to supply the confed
, eracy with supplies and take out cot-
I ton,which was almost worth its weight
; in silver or gold in England. My ro
! port carried consternation, I was told,
into the highest social circles of New
York, where the Wilsons were about
marrying among the Astors, who had
i no idea, with the higher loyalty of
this latter family, that they were to
embrace some of the old blockade
runners of the war. There were all
kinds of blockade-runners, and toward
the bottom you could touch Keith or
Thomassen, the celebrated fiend who
blew up the Bremen steamship. The
elder V. K. Stevenson died, leaving a
line fortuuo here, of which his son got
his portion,but V.K. does not return to
Tennessee, though there ho is con
nected with old families like the Bells
and the Catrons. These things prove
that where there is liberality men llock
from every land.
To-Day In Nazareth.
From an article by Wilson, the pho
, tographer, in the Century, entitled,
"Bound jibout Galilee," we quote:
"One of the best views of the city is to
be had from the campanile (if the
Church of the Annunciation. In the
distance is the brow of the hill to
which Jesus was led by the enraged
multitude who attempted to throw
him from it. A modern house in the
foreground brings to mind the time
when they uncovered si roof and let
down the bed whereon the sick of the
palsy lay. This must be very much
the same kind of a house as that his
torical one at Capernaum. There is
the peculiar roof, and there are tho
outside stairs leading to the roof. The
Eastern householder makes his roof
serve for more than a protection from
the weather. It is the piazza, the
quiet place of tho dweller, and sonie-
I times it becomes his summer residence.
As 51 rule it is not very heavy or very
strong. Rafters arc thrown across
from wall to wall, say a yard apart;
then the whole space is covered with
twigs such as we saw the women sell
ing in the market-place. On these tho
slender limbs of trees are thrown and
thickly coated with mortar. Lastly, a
thick spread of earth is thrown on,
rolled to a level, and oftentimes sown
with grass seed. Thus by care many
of the roofs become as smooth and
soft as a machine-mown lawn. They
| may be easily broken up and anything
lowered inside from above. By some
such process the four bearers of the
poor palsied man managed to enlist
the attention of the Great Physician in
behalf of their friend. It is not hard
to understand it all when vicwingsudi
a house as this one at Nazareth. It
would not be difficult for four men to
carry a lame friend in a hammock by
the outer stairway up to the roof, and,
breaking through, let him dowu into
the apartment or court below.
I Not far from this sumo house, in a
narrow street, is a little chapel erected
upon the site of Joseph's carpenter
shop. Over the altar is :i picture rep
resenting Mary and Joseph instructing
Jesus, and finding that lie knew more
than they. Another painting repre
i scuts the lad Jesus assisting his father
at work. It contains no accessories of
I the carpenter shop, but there are
enough of them in the shops close by.
The web-saw, the glue-pot, tho plane,
and the hammer are the principal tools
used in such shops, all without the
i modern improvements. Yet whatever
tho Palestine carpenter produces is
from the fragrant cedars of Lebanon
! or from the eccentrically knotted and
gnarled olive-wood. The operation of
bargaining aud waiting for an article
of wood to come from a Palestine car
peuter's shop is a lengthy one. Arti
cles of wood are a luxury there, and
when the carpontor receives an order
for one he usually employs the next
three days of his life in soliciting tho
congratulations of his friends upon his
wonderful good fortune in receiving an
order for something made of wood/"
| Tho black mustache, which has been
so long considered a sine qua non of
the highest typo of masculine beauty,
| has slowly and surely had its prestige
sapped by its insidious and more
; aesthetic blonde rival. If the craze for
I shade continues it will soon be ex
tremely difficult to find any of the
brown or red variety among fashion
able men, as wherever the color of tho
hair will permit of the blonde being
possibly worn the bleach is brought
, into requisition. Dudes who are fa
vored by nature with hirsute append
ages of tho approved hue are now in
dulging in a good deal of chaff at the
expense of their less fortunate fellows
who have to imitate them, aud still
| men continue to philosophize over the
vauities of women.— N. Y. Mercury
