A BILL lias IK-OO introduced in the Kentucky Legislature which imposes n penalty on circus managers who ad vertise more than they show. THE lesson of the present Congress is likely to be a most impressive one ! to the nation of the inestimable value j of a President like Grover Cleveland. I WHEN capital finds it necessary to organize, when the professional men cannot get along without organization, when the whole tendency of the times is toward combination, how can any intelligent workingman think that unions are not necessary 1 Ik a national election were to take place this week, a number of the Re- j publican States of the West and North west would probably go Democratic, j This assertion is bnsed on information j obtained from a variety of sources, one report confirming the others in a | remarkable manner. — Boston Herald, j PUBLIC opinion has licen concentrat ed already, and very strongty, iu favor | of the Australian or Massachusetts | system. The genuine advocate of j progress will always strive to move in 1 harmony with public opinion, when I ever public opinion tends in the right J direction. If other measures of J value can also be attained, so much the better. THE farmers of the West are burn ing their corn for fuel, in the absence of that "home market" of which they hear so much. The woollen manufac tories of the East are closing their mills because the tariff on wool pre vents them from sending their sur plus production to foreign markets. This is protection-—with a vengeance —at both ends of the line. THE Republican managers do not care for the negro, hut they see no hope of carrying another Presidential elec tion unless they can once more, in the old Mississippi steamboat way, "put a nigger on the safety valve." They care nothing for the general interests of the country; they care nothing for prosperity—they care only for power, and, as has been shown in the House of Representatives already, they will do and dare everything to keep them selves in power. A PETITION for Ballot Reform with 70,000 signers will lie sent to the New York Legislature. The petition weigh e 1 half a ton, and hound in canvass and leather it was put on a dray on Satur day and drawn by four horses through the streets of New York. It will take more than four horse power to pull successfully against the opposition of machine politicians. It is cutting up their business by the roots to take out of their hands the choice of candi dates for office and to prevent corrup tion of voters. But Ballot Reform is bound to come. THE Boston Commercial liiilletin, a protectionist paper, bns the follow ing to say of the business interests of the country : "The business interests of this country demand a reduction of the revenue, a removal of such duties as are unnecessary or a direct tax upon the consumer, and adaptation of surviving protective duties to changed conditions of production and administrative regulations and will check frauds at the custom house with out denying an honorable importer common justice anil fair play from the hands of the Government under which he lives. OUR working men have been "be guiled" by the deceitful promise of protection to labor until greedy com bines, made possible only by excessive war taxes in time of peace, have de creased wages, imported free trade j labor, and increased the cost of many of the articles most consumed by working men; but they are beginning to refuse to be further "beguiled," and it is only a question of to day or of the very near future when our intelli gent working men w ill vote solidly for free raw materials for our industries and for the repeal of all needless taxes on the necessaries of life. MONEY-LENDERS in Dakotah are charging the farmers in the famine dis trict as much as (ill per cent, a j-ear for loans. If the farmer borrows $1,0(10 to keep his family alive, and to work and seed his land for the next crop, he must pay the lender SI,GOO in one year, and must give good security that he will do so, before lie call get the money. All human experience shows that this cannot he done uud the in evitable consequence must be that the money-lenders will acquire gr ( .at tracts of laud at about half their value while the present owners will 1„. re . duceil to penury. Oneof the first laws enacted in every new State should forbid the taking of usurious interest. It is had for the individual, for it keeps him in hopeleess poverty; bad for the community, which cannot pro cure needed improvements if its people are kept poor; and bad for the State, which is drained of its money to pay the money-lenders, who send it to other sections. It is better for the new community to develop more slowly and be composed of people who are iinau cially independent. IT is but a question of time when the fallacy that underlies the crumb ling structure of Protection will be visi ble to all men. The ancient "Shinny" in a letter to the l'laln Speaker has demonstrated how special privileges have raised tlio price of fish sixty per j cent, on the denizens of Beaver Meadow. What is true of Beaver j Meadow is true of every hamlet in . the land, and will continue until men j see the necessity of abolishing the j whole system of privileges. Such half-way palliatives as the abolition of: company stores is not the remedy, and will at best but augment the evil by staying the advent of practical measures, and postponing the day of deliverance. It is gratifying to note that the scales are falling from j "Shinny's" eyes, for his tish escapade, ' if reasoned to its natural conclusion, 1 will lead him into the company of men who would abolish all privileges, and make it impossible for any special interests to levy sixty per I cent, tribute on their fellowmen in any clime on God's footstool. Shake "Shinny." Correspondence From tlie Capitol. WASHINGTON, March 4, '9O. When the Pan-American Congress con vened for the purpose of establishing j closer trade relations between the United States and the countries of Central and South America, began its sessions in this city, it was suggested that a subsidized tleet, sailing to South America ports, would not acomplish half so much to create or promote reciprocal trade be tween the three Americas as the building of a continental railroad. Saturday the committee on railroads reported to the Congress a plan, looking toward the con struction of such a road. The Three Americas Congress has been regarded in several quarters as being to a great extent a sentimental conference, capable of no practical suggestion and ; likely to lead to no substantial result. ■, But if it should be the means of success i fully launching so great and comprehen | sive an enterprise as this continuous Con | tinental Railroad scheme seems to be, I the estimate at which the Congress has been held in many minds will be greatly changed. If this meeting of the repre sentatives of all the American Republics should succeed in agreeing upon a com mon silver coinage, receivable and inter changeable anywhere on the American I Continent; should reach a good under taking in regard to banking and direct ! exchange, and should take the first steps ! leading to the construction of a great i connecting railroad by which the Three Americas would have fast mails, quick freights and speedy intercommunication, ! it would do much more than create senti ments of mutual appreciation, friend ship and good will—it would supply practical methods for the increase of commerce and produce conditions most favorable t< the growth <f a trade which might prove of benefit to far-separated communities. Whether the injustice and unwisdom of our tariff will frustrate all the wise conclusions and all the saga i cious projects which the Congress may form cannot now be fully known, but even if they should, it is right to give the great conference credit for full infor mation, clear views, practical suggestions and genuine zeal for the general good of all American nations. Connecticut Avenue is to the Capitol what Fifth Avenue is to New York City for promenade purposes, and especially Sunday afternoon, when a surging, rest less tide of humanity ebbs and flows up and down this beautiful boulevard. About 4 o'clock is the best time to view the procession, which, starting at II street, is continued with scarcely a break to Massachusetts Avenue and Stewart Castle on the North. Hardly have the last sweet strains of the chorister boys at St. John's Church died away ere there is a manifest desire on the part of prom enaders to take possession of Connecti cut Avenue and until the mantle of night falls there is no visible cessation of pedes trianism. Probably one of the best points of observation of the throng is in front of the British legation building, for at all times the crowd seems densest at this attractive spot, and there is a contin ual interchange of courtesise in which the graceful bows and doffed hats predomi nate. Although in the main Connecticut Avenue is peopled with a wealthy class of citizens, so far as residence is concern ed, the promenaders comprise represen tatives from every walk of life, and patrician and plebeian are brought in close contact and neither appears the 1 worse for such a combination of affairs. * * Congress and Capitol have become sec ondary considerations since the comple tion of the Washington Monument, at least so far as the average tourists is con cerned. As sion as visitors reach a hotel and their assignment of rooms is made, first question put to the clerk in the office is, "How can we get to the Washington Monument?" Heretofore it used to be a scramble for the Capitol, but that is generally put off now until the last mom ent. Undeterred by the fact that the grounds around the monument are badly torn up on account of resurfacing and sodding, men, women and children can be seen daily prodding across the field j intent upon climbing to the apex of the | big white shaft. After the monument the White House comes next, and then ' the weary tourist turns to the east and j ('apitol Hill. It is hinted in inside Republican circles that Harrison's trip to Pennsylvania two weeks ago was really for a political pur pose; he is trying to capture the State delegation to the next Republican Na tional Convention, and while Quay was in Florida he thought it a good time to j visit lite State, and the opening of the j i frtlibrary at Allegheny City furnished ( . the opportunity. I Hon. Wm. F. Vilas, who was Post- i master General and Secretary of the in- j terior during the administration of Presi dent Cleveland, is in Washington, ac companied by Mrs. Vilas. Florida is their objective point; and after spending a week or so in the land of orange groves 1 it is their intention to take a steamer and go across to Cuba. Mr. Vilas is still of I the opinion that only one name will be ! presented to the Democratic Nominating Convention in 1892, and that G rover| Cleveland will lead the phalanx to vic tory, as he did in 1884. It. Ballot lteform In Pennsylvania. In discussing the question of Ballot t Reform several of our contemporaries I have expressed their opinion that the Australian system could not be introduc- I 31 ed in Pennsylvania without a change , of the State Constitution. This is the | view of Governor Beaver and of ex-Lieu- j tenant Governor Black, the latter of whom earnestly advocates the calling of a Constitutional Convention at as early a day as possible for the purpose of considering the subject. Ex-Attorney ; General MacVeagh, C. C. B!rney, Esq., i and other quite as strenuous companions ! of the Australian ballot system, hold j that no change of the Constitution of | Pennsylvania would be necessary for its j introduction. I There is nothing in the State Constitu tion to prevent the exclusive use of an official ticket, or denying the privilege of a voter to make up his ticket in a booth where he would be free from interfer ence, espionage or corrupt solicitation. These are three essential features of the Australian ballot system. But the point | at issue is the provision of the State Con stitution which requires all ballots to be ! numbered by the election officers. This provision, it is condended, is incompati ble with the secret ballot, and should, ! therefore, be abolished. | When the new Constitution was before i the people, in 1873, its opponents urged that such a requirement would destroy the secrecy of the ballot. But its friends argued that the secrecy of the ballot would be practically maintained under a provision making it a crime for an elec tion officer to disclose how any elector should have voted. The numbering of ballots was deemed essentially necessary for the protection of the suffrage against a variety of frauds, by enabling voters to identify their tickets in cases of con tested elections; and this is the view which the people of Pennsylvania evi dently took of the subject. If the provisions have not full an swered the expectations of its advocates, the failure has been duetodefects in the Election laws which it could not cure. It has, nevertheless, done much to check frauds upon the ballot. If holders of window-books and ticket distributers around the polls think they know how citizens have voted, it is not often that and election officer gratuitously commits a misdemeanor by disclosing the secrets of the ballot. But let the ticket be official; and let j the voter he protected in making it up, ! free from all intrusion, as the Australian I plan provides. Then there would not be the slightest difficulty with the require ment for numbering ballots. On the contrary, this provision of the Pennsyl vania Constitution, instead of weaken ing or interfering with the Australian sys- I tern, would strengthen it. So far from j calling a Convention to abolish this pro | vision of the Constitution, the people of : Pennsylvania should cling to it with the utmost tenacity. The able men who framed the Constitution of 1873 were friends of a pure as well as of a secret ballot; and they knew precisely what j they were doing when they put into it , ; the requirement that all ballots should be ; I numbered. There may be reasons for holding a Convention to revise the Con stitution of Pennsylvania, but this is not I one of them. —Philadelphia Record. It lit Spreading. The spread of the Single Tax idea is perfectly wonderful. Its most sanguine i . agitator, Mr. Henry George, says he had ! i no idea when he wrote "Progress and j I Poverty" that he would ever live to see j j the system adopted, but he believed that I ! ultimately it would be. But, now, Mr. I I George is of the opinion that it is only a question of a very short time until the ; Single Tax idea will be in vogue in a great many nations of the world. Think ; of it, you are doubting Thomases; you who are only half-heartedly supporting ' the measure; you who know but little about it and care less. Think w hat fools you are making of yourselves. Here is | a question that is attracting the leading men of the world—not only of the lead ing men of our government, but of all the governments of the world. The Defense Fund.

The I.litiicrrli Colliery Disaster. For the benefit of many of our readers of Welsh origin, and who may have lost friends anil relatives in the great explosion that occcurred at the Llanerch colliery, near Ahersvchan, Monmouth shire, Kngland, on February 7th, 1890, !by which 180 men and boys met an untimely death, we translate from the columns of the Drirych (Mirror) the names, age and residence of those killed, i At the usual time 250 men and hoys i went down the shaft to their usual occu i pat ion, and scarcely were they stationed at their work when the explosion took I place, which caused the death of a ma j jority of them. The news of the ex plosion caused a great commotion and | scare among the populace, who thronged | to the pit's mouth anxious to find out the I news of their beloved ones. The ex plosion had such force as to destroy everything within range of the top of the shaft. Smoke ascended in flames of fire through its mouth. The scene at the top of the shaft was heart rendering; scores of women and children and relatives to the entombed men, and others were trying to get some information concerning the fate of the men. Often some of the throng was called to identify the dead, as they were hoisted up the shaft. It seemed that all who had lost their lives numbered 180— the majority of whom were members of the Great Fund. This disaster will cost the fund from 100 to 125 thousand dol lars. Taking this into consideration a general collection will be made to re plenish this great fund, so that no one may suffer. The number of widowsthat will become dependent on this fund will be (>6, children, 140, a few other relations and some 0 doubtful cases. The Society of Operators contributed $5,000.00 to tne fund. Below are some of the names of the unfortunates of Welsh origin who have lost their lives in this awful disaster: Thomas Aslnnan, ago 22 years, nn<l his two brothers, William, age 18 ami George, aye 20, of 1 cntwyn, all single.

This great loss of life, together with the late accident at the Nottingham shaft, and the one at the South Wilkes-Barre shaft a few days ago, arc severe lessons in the art of the production of coal. That some remedy whereby such disas ters can be avoided must be devised, is evident, and tlie sooner sucli action is taken the better for all concerned. Is it any wonder that men who have been raised from infancy at the business of coal mining are leaving it and seeking other occupations? Where in the United States, or in anv other country are men who run such risk (no matter what their occupation may be) poorer paid than the man or boy who loaves God's sunlight, and from 8 to 10 hours delves below the bowels of the earth ?
