THE New Jersey farmers and Knights of Labor who have notified the Legislature of that State that they want straight Ballot Reform, and will hold their representatives ac countable for nny failure to pass a proper bill, are on the right track, i A secret ballot , giving every voter the opportunity to vote without fear or 1 favor according to his best judgment, ; would do more to purge our politics from corruption and insure better! government than could be accomplish ed by any other means. It would 1 make "government by the people" something more than a polite fiction. RECENTLY the W ays and Means Com mittee gave a hearing to the canners who protested agaiust the proposed additional duty on tin plute. The Re- j publican members sought to embarass the delegation by asking if they were willing to have free canned goods if tin plate were free. With one accord they answered "yes," much to the sur prise of the committee. If Ameri can canners could get their sugar and tin free they could beat the world. We hear of industries being built up by tariff, but nothing is said about the many industries which are ruined by having their materials taxed.— Jitsticc. Apply the Proper Remedy. The organization of relief committees in the Wyoming Valley will do much to relieve the suffering among the miners' families. At the meeting of the Scran ton Poor Board Mayor-elect Fellows, | who is chairman of the Central Relief Committee, said that all the present misery was to be traced to the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Company, which, he said, had opened more col lieries than it needs, and he criticised the company for not contributing to the re lief fund. If, as Mr. Fellows says, there are more miners in the region than can he given work even when the coal trade is reasonably good, the present unhappy t situation is not merely a temporary dfli culty, and it will take more than the lo cal resources to find profitable employ ment for the superabundance of labor in other localities. Mr. Powderly some time ago also attributed the distress of the miners to the owners of the collieries, but he did not say that it was the fault J of a single company as Mayor-elect Fel- | lows docs. It is Mr. Powderly's idea j that the condition of the miners who J are starving because the mines are idle ' and the suffering of the people in the j West for want of fuel are caused by ! combinations which put restrictions upon the coal output. It is a most remarkable state of affairs when at one end of the [ line people are suffering because their j wants cannot be supplied and at the other end of the line people are starving be cause they cannot supply the wants of the first set, anil it appears more remark able when we consider that this occurs in the snme country and that railroads connect the different localities where the suffering exists. —Philadelphia Inquirer. Correspondence From [the Capitol. WASHINGTON, April 1, '9O. The premature publication of the pro visions of the McKinley Tariff bill seems to have been in the nature of a "ye-that liave-interests-to-protect-prepare-to-have I -them-protected-now" proclamation, and j at last call to the class which lias grown j rich and wants to grow richer through 1 the favor and partiality of the laws and I at the expense of all the other classes of j the community. It let them know in j ample time what sort of compromise the Renublicians of the House thought of making between the party's platform j promises to the whole country and its I signed-and-sealed contract with the great i campaign fund contributers. A very re- j markable feature of the bill as published I should be noted. The cuts made in the | sugar duty, on rice, tobacco, alcohol and ; a few articles, it is claimed, would affect | a reduction in tho revenues of $60,000,- j 000. But at the same time the bill, for | the protection of the agriculturists of j the West, placed higher duties on eggs, j potatoes, hops and some other agricul- ! tural products. No attention was paid ; to the likelihood of these new taxes i tending to offset the reduction of revenue effected on sugar, etc. The conclusion is j natural that tlie increased duties on agri cultural products were intended merely to pull the wool over the eyes of the j farmer in the West. These duties could j afford the latter no protection, because I when corn is so cheap that he finds burn ing it as fuel tlie most profitable use he I can make of it, it is not likely any for eign agricultural products could, even without a tariff barrier, coine into tlie country and undersell his own products. The McKinley bill is a more advanced high protection measure than has ever before been presented in Congress. There is a hopeful improvement in Mr. Samuel J. Randall's health, and the expectation is confidently expressed that lie will soon be able to assume his duties ! in the House. Miss Randall said yester- j day that her father was now able to look after his correspondence, and that he I was giving close attention to Congres sional matters. II is vacant seat in tlie j House is a constant and painful re- i minder of his great loss as a Democratic leader. # The defeat of the Blair bill in the Senate, after having in previous Con gresses passed that body twice, was no great surprise to those who have watched the trend of public opinion, which in the South especially hns for some time past been against tlie measure.

When the Collector is authorized to col j leet more than one tax, or kind of tax, a separ- I ate account must be kept for each, and when payment is made by him to the Treasurer the amount paid on each tax, special or regular, should in every ease lie mentioned. The Col lector, not being authorized to act as Treasurer, should not receive as money, orders drawn on the Treasurer. 2d. The Treasurer should keep a separate ac count for each fund, and in no ease apply the money collected for one purpose to another. 3rd. The SuiHTvisors should, as nearly as possible, keep within the regular tax levy, and at the beginning of each year take such stops as will, during the current year, settle up all accounts of the previous year, and thus pre : vent the accumulation of stale claims and do , mauds.
