FREELAND, PA., APRIL 24, 1890.
ONE of Pennsylvania's oldest Gov
ernors passed away on Saturday even
ing in the person of James Pollock.
Mr. Pollock was Governor of this .State
from 1855 to 1858, having been nomi
nated by the old Whig party in 1851.
THE Farmers' Alliance, the most
powerful organization Kansas has
ever known, has addressed an open
letter io that State's delegation in
Congress, calling their attention to
the alarming condition of the agri
cultural interest of that State, and
demanding legislation for thier relief.
The letter, among other things, calls
attention to the fact that a single law
firm in one city in South Kansas now
has the contract for the forclosure of
1,800 mortgages. Is the tariff pro
tecting the Kansas farmer? Is it
making him prosperous ? It does not
so appear.
DII. NORVIN GREEN, President of the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
became terribly excited the other day
while scolding the Postmaster Gen
eral. One of his outbursts of passion
contained a truth that is worth some
thing to the the people at large. "I
object," said he, ' to this bill, because
it is the entering wedge of a move
ment to break down the present com
panies and establish a government
system." Just so, doctor; you Lave
chased the woodchuck into the right
hole. That is'precisely what we mean,
and please remember that is precisely
what we intend to do.— Pacific Union.
CANADA is now shoving cheap ice
into this country at a great rate.
There is no duty on ice, and, there
fore, there is no protection for our
infant ice industries. This is alarm
ing. Congress should clap a6O per
cent, duty on ice, and then, of course,
everybody who pays the price on ice
this summer will arise and call Con
gress blessed. Unless Congress shall
take prompt action our ice companies
will And themselves ruined by Cana
dian cheap labor. There is no good
reason for keeping cheaj) Canadian
flsh, coal, iron ore and lumber out of
our market that does not equally apply
to cheap Canadian ice.
Vote Direct for President.
The electoral system has stood the test
of a century, hut it has received some
pretty severe shocks. The time must
come when the present plan of electing
Presidents by States must cease in the
interest ox" pare/ politics. There is no
longer a necessity for electors and elect
oral colleges. Why should not every
citizen of every State cast his vote di
rectly for President and Yice President,
Ihe grand majority in the nation at large
to determine the result? It is an old
idea, but it will continue to be a pretty
lively one until the change is made.
The advantages of such a system are
great. The premium on fraud would
vanish. We should hear 110 more of
close States and the purchase of voters
to carry them. Indiana could vote in
peace. The grand struggle to carry New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut would
come to an end, for a few hundred votes
either way would make no change in the
result. Every citizen of the United
States would feel that his vote was needed
to help out the grand total, and the elec
tion would become of national import
ance and the interest would not be con
fined to a desperate contest over three or
four States.
About the only plausible objection to a
national election of this nature would be
the possibility of fraud. Apply the Aus
tralian system to every precinct. Make
the law uniform everywhere, and the
danger of fraudulent voting would prac
tically be eliminated. We should then
have the nearest to an ideal election
possible, and the charges and counter
charges of corruption, so fiercely made
every four years, would no longer dis
grace the nation. This alone is worth
striving for.
But there is another argument in favor
of a majority election. Kvery public
man would have an equal chance as a
candidate for the nomination. A Na
tional Convention would be free to pick
out the best and brainiest man wherever
he might be found. Too frequently it
seems to be necessary to cater to doubt
ful States, and close States have more'
than once controlled nominations that
under other circumstances would have
gone elsewhere. The nation's grentest
statesmen have been barred from com
petition solely because of location. In
the selection of a President we are thus
sometimes confined to narrow limits,
while the nation at large has no more
chance in a convention than Canada or
the Sandwich Islands. The injustice of
this is apparent to all, but the trouble has
been to overcome the difficulty.
There is but one way to overcome it
and that is the adoption of a constitu
tional amendment providing a change in
the electoral system. What is termed in
these days "practical politics" can be
overcome in no other way. Let the na
tion and not the doubtful States make
the choice and we shall have purer poli
tics and a minimum of fraudulent voting.

Harrison Under Republican Fire.
Below is an extract from the open let
ter of Henry C. Lea, a prominent Re
publican and extensive manufacturer of
Philadelphia, to the figure head occupy
ing the Presidential chair at Washing
ton. It contains many grave charges,
but nothing more than the public knows
to be true. Mr. Lea says:
"It is true that the crimes alleged
against Senator Quay are connected only
with his career as a Pennsylvania boss,
but your close connection with him has
rendered the scandal National. In pur
suance of this alliance you have enlarged i
Quay's importance by virtually giving
him control of the Federal patronage in
Pennsylvania, thus rendering him the
dictator of the Republican party in the
State.
He boasted of your subserviency to
him when, in explaining his triumph over
Representative Dalzell in the struggle for
the Pittsburg Post Office, he publicly
said that 'the President, though very
anxious to gratify Mr. Dalzell, for whom
he has a high esteem, could not, under all
the circumstances, well avoid complying
with my wishes.'
In thus entering into a political part
nership with Quay you must share the
losses as well as the gains of the venture.
It is not Pennsylvania alone, nor even
the Republican only, that has a right to
protest; every citizen of the land must
feel humiliation at the smirch thus in
flicted on the Chief Magistracy of the
Nation.
As a Republican by conviction, ardent
ly desiring the Buccess of the party as
long as it deserves success, let me re
quest you, Mr. President, to take a calm
survey of the situation and render to
yourself an account of your stewardship.
'Thirteen months ago you entered upon
the duties of the highest office which the
world has to beßtow; your party was su
preme in the control of both Houses of
Congress and of the executive; every
thing promised a prosperous and useful
Administration, in which you, by simply
adhering to the pledges'under which
you were selected, might earn another
term from the confidence and gratitude
of the people.
But it needs no prophet to foretell the
result. The elections of last November
were a warning that the people would
not tolerate your methods. You have
refused to heed the lesson, and the elec
tions of next November will emphasize
it. The narrow Republican majority in
the Lower House will be swept away,
and your path for the latter half of your
Administration will he a path of thorns.
You have rewarded the magnificent ma
jority of 80,000 given to you by Pennsyl
vania by riveting upon her the ciiains of
Quayism.
You need not wonder that disaffection
is spreading rapidly throughout her
borders in a manner that may render
even her allegiance doubtful. The out
look for 1892 is even darker. Were the
Presidential election to take place to
morrow, there could scarce be doubt of
Democratic success.
Let me counsel you, Mr. President, as
a friend, to reflect that this lias been
your work in one short year of misused
power. Discard the advisers who are
luring you to your downfall. Recognize
that the most genuine political exigency
lies in the application of conscience to all
public affairs, and that you can serve
your party best by stimulating the nobler
aspirations of the Nation rather than by
pandering to the baser appetites of spoils
men. Cease to expect to gather figs off
thistles or touch pitch without defile
ment. Remember" that evil can give
birth only to evil, and that you, as Chief
Magistrate of sixty-five millions of free
men, have on your soul a charge for
J which you must reckon to posterity and
to God."
The Proposed New .States.
We are assured that there is no good
reason for bringing the Territories of
Wyoming and Idaho into the Union now.
Wyoming's total vote in 1888 was 18,000,
indicating a population to-day not ex
ceeding 80,000. In 1880, when the popu
lation was 20,789, the total vote was 7,-
500. As 151,912 is the population re
quired to secure a Representative in the
older .States, according to the last ap
pointment, there is a vast impropriety
in giving Wyoming a Representative ami
two Senators for a population such as it
has. Idaho had in 1880 a population
of 32,610, and her present population,
calculated on the basis of her last vote,
can hardly exceed 100,000.
Would-be Senators, of course, estimate
the population in fancy figures, but the
proposed States are evidently still
sparsely-settled backwoods. Nevada ]
ought to be a warning. It is believed to j
have a population not exceeding 35,000.
It has lost ground since 1880. Yet these
35,000 men, women and children in
Nevada have at Washington two Sena-\
tors and a Representative. Nevada's ad
mission was a political job, and Idaho
and Wyoming are coming in on the same
basis.
New*paper ArivcrtiHing.
Legitimate uewspapers are the only
mediums a business man can use and be
sure of a return for money expended in
advertising. Special advertising is all
right in its way, but more money is
thrown away in "schemes" than is gen
erally supposed. The beginner at adver
tising, unless he is an unusually shrewd
business man, commences to flood the
town with circulars and cards and pam
phlets at a cost ten times greater than
that which would be required to reach
hundreds of thousandsof people through
the columns of legitimate newspapers.
What is the result? He and his clerks
Htand around idle most of the time and
wonder why business isn't better. A
little later on he begins to denounce ad
vertising generally and he remains in a
comatose state, so far as progressive
business methods are concerned, until he
is aroused from his lethargy by advertis
ing solicitors.
The late A. T. Stewart, in his day the
merchant prince of New York, once
said that every busineas man should
spend a sum of money in advertising
equivalent to the annual rental of his
store. That was true in his day, but so
rapid has been the progress of scientific
advertising since then that if the mer
chant prince were still alive to-day he
would undoubtedly recommend an ex
penditure of a sum at least twice the
rental of a store. The business man of
to-day who is not satisfied to make a
mere living out of his business does not
need to be prodded with the sharp tongs
of progress to make him advertise. He
advertises steadily and scientifically and
intelligently.
The man engaged in business who
i doesn't advertise must expect his pat
ronage from passers-by alone. Ilis busi
, ness is known to as many people as is
a weather vane in a wilderness. A buy
er may drop in occasionally, but the
great mass of money spenders pass him
1 by and flock to the stores that advertise.
When a person wants to buy anything
he 110 longer rushes into the first store at
j hand to get it, nor does he spend a day
j in running up and down the street look
ing for the cheapest place. The would- j
j be purchaser picks up his paper and
carefully reads the advertisements and ,
j selects from them the firm or firms which i
j offer the best inducements. This saves j
I time and money. People want the ad- j
vertisements, and he is a wise business I
! man who seeks the most desirable med- >
iums for telling the public what he has
to sell. The most prosperous business
houses in this country are those which
advertise most, and they got their pres
ent prosperity by persistent, intelligent!
advertising and none of them could be ■
induced to give it up under any circum- |
stances.
The TTMU'XK offers advertisers a
medium, at reasonable rates, that cannot
be excelled in this vicinity. Its circula
tion lias almost been doubled within the
past year, and its readers are of the class
of people who support the business men
of Freeland. Consequently, it is to the
direct benefit of every merchant in town
to place his card in the TUIBUNE, stating
prices and the inducements offered to
those whose custom is desired. To those
who do not advertise we invite them to |
give newspaper advertisings trial, and the
result cannot he otherwise than satis
factory.
A Fussy Husband.
A comic little incident occurred in
the parquet of tlie Grand opera-house
last week, says the New Orleans Times-
Democrat. It was funny enough for
outsiders, but at one time threatened to
develop some rather distressing features
for one of the persons involved. Just
as the orchestra began tuning up for
the overture a couple appeared. The
lady came first, young, pretty, and in
every line of her well-bred face betray
ing resentment of her escort's manner.
He, a big, smooth-faced, choleric-look
ing fellow, wore an intensely cocky air,
coupled with the aggravating way some
men have of steering women about as
though they were half-witted. In two
minutes and a half the spectators near
est discovered that their neighbors
were husband and wife. The note of
authority in his voice and inflection in
the name "Fanny" clearly indicated a
pressure of ihe matrimonial yoke.
The man began "fussing" at once.
Passing into a row a fringe from her
gown caught in the scat, and while
jerking it loose a tirade was delivered
in an undertone on the "infernal folly"
of woman's clothes. Then she was
forced to rise while he adjusted her
wrap across the back of a chair and
stand a running comment at the same
time at her utter lack of judgment in
bringing such a frivolous style of shawl
on a sharp evening.
After nagging and growling till his
wife looked altogether disheartened
this comfortable individual turned his
attention to the program. He said the
theatre was a "blasted bore," and he
wished to heaven lie had not allowed
himself to be deluded away from the
club.
"But, Fred, dear," the long-suffering
woman remonstrated, with a slight sus
picion of sarcasm in her soft voice,
"don't you remember how many time?
you came last winter? I often won
dered it didn't tire you more."
"What arrant nonsense you talk,''
her companion rejoined. "Of course I
came. Had it to do. Men in my line
of business in town every day, and if I
hadn't treated them to the play I would
have lost money right along." She
added something about the necessity ol
supper afterward in an interrogating
tone, but he was staring round through
the glasses and pretended not to hear.
Quiet settled on the scene until a
minute or more before the curtain ;
rose, when in a suppressed but terrible
voice he demanded: "Fanny! what in
the name of thunder is that spot you've
got oil your face?"
"Spot!" returned persecuted Fanny
"I don't know what you are talking
about. Why, nothing." All the while j
her cheeks w ere utlamc with mingled I
shame and indignation, even to the i
tiny hit of court-plaster placed coquet
tisldy near her red under lip.
"You do!" said the tyrant; "that!
hideous black patch disfiguring your
chin. Didn't 1 say I'd never seen a
woman guilty of sueli a vulgarity? It !
makes you look like a monkey. Take
the end of your handkerchief and wipe '
it off."
• I shan't; so there!" returned the
worm, who turned at last. "You have
no right to order me that way about
something that doesn't in the least con- ,
corn you. Suppose," w axing warmer, 1
"I dared to abuse you about the way
you carry your cane or trim your mus
tach. You are always worrying me
over some such trifle." A break indi
cating the dangerous proximity ol
tears.
The despot looked his property ovei
from head to foot with a withering
stare and then in unmistakable accents
announced quietly but firmly that if she
didn't do as he told her he would gel
right up and leave the theater.
"Oh, no, you won't," said hopefu
Fanny; "that would make you con
spicous. Come, now, Fred, don't cut
up so. Just let me do as I like and J
shan't trouble you."
"Are you going to take that infernal
abomination off your face? Yes or no,'
was his only answer.
"Well, if you want to know, I won't"
The husband continued, while the
men behind forgot all about the audi
ence, stage, play, and everything else,
so absorbed had they become in the
exciting domestic drama at hand.
"See here, Fanny, did you ever know
me fail when I swore to do a thing? I
give you till I count five to get rid ol
that infamous thing. If you don't, 1
warn you I will get up, go straight
home, and you can manage the best
you know.
The wretched little woman drew her
breath hard. Her face was a deep
pink, and her eyes sparkled as she ex
amined the big, burly fellow's counte
nance to see if lie could be in earnest.
Every second seemed an hour to the
participants and spectators, all recog
nizing it as the crucial test of the wife's
future freedom. She evidently under
stood the full importance of her action.
She wavered, litfed her handkerchief
irresolutely, let it fall in her lap, looked
; again, and then, with one swift, angry
j movement, swept the bit of muslin
| across her mouth. He turned to re
gard his slave with triumph, but the
glimpse of a crimson cheek and a very
j cold shoulder served him during the re
mainder of the evening.
Correspondence From the Capitol.
WASHINGTON, April 22, '9O.
[ To most people in Washington the
Capitol by day is as familiar as their
own homes. But when night comes and
! the sight-seers and place-hunters are
| driven out, when the noisy house and
I the stolid Senate have both adjourned
for the day and the last committee cleric
has gone liome, then the Capitol is al-
I together a different place. The Senate
I usually ends its day's proceedings in
j secret session, when the galleries are
j cleared, and so the change from anima
tion to its suspension is less pronounced
and sudden. But in the House wing
the transition from bustling activity to
silence and desertion is remarkably quick
and complete, especially when the ses
sion lias lasted till evening. When the
speaker's gavel is finally laid down the
members hurry out in groups of two or
three, the galleries empty their usually
scant crowds into the corridors, and the
whole lot swarm out at the various doors to
go to dinner or worse. The big white build
ing is then in the hands of the Capitol
police force, and they are supreme for
the night. No one is admitted save
members of Congress, clerks of com
mittees and messengers, or people who
have business in some part of the build-1
ing. By midnight the last of the late- j
staying members and committee clerks
has gone home, and the Capitol is
left to the watchers and mice. The tes
selated floors of the long corridors re- j
echo no step to the vaulted ceilings, save
when once an hour a solitary watch
man passeson hisrounds. In the Senate
end of the Capitol there is one room
that is watched with especial solicitude.
This rooms contains the executive iiles j
of the .Senate, the records of what the
Senate does when it hides its chamber
and communes alone, out, more or less,
of the high light of the public press.
One of the watchman is especially
charged with guarding these mighty
Becrets at night, and he is never far
away from the room in which they are.
It is well into the morning before the
Capitol wakes and becomes again the
most interesting place in Washington.
Its frequenters are late risers for the
most part. But the Capitol is the first
building in all Washington the sun
shines on. 11 is earliest beams kiss the
bronze lips of the helmeted Goddess of
Liberty that stands on the dome of the
Capitol several minutes before he gets
down to any other. But the Goddess is
w ell wanned in the sun rays before the
Capitol displays any signs of animation.
The McKinlev tariff bill will be intro
duced in the House to-day. Its pro
visions are already pretty well known.
The chief merit claimed for it by its
friends is that it will reduce the revenus
| of the Government, some say $40,000,000,
! some say $00,000,000 annually, at the
I same time affording a manimum of pro
tection to our infant phenomenon in
dustries. This reduction, however, is
contingent. It depends on the way in
which the increased duties which arc
levied on many articles and products
operate. If they serve to keep out al
together certain foreign articles which,
under the present relatively low tariff
rates, are imported in large quantities or
largely reduce the importation of them,
then, of course, the revenues will fall
I oil. Otherwise the revenues will remain
about what they are, and the only effect
' of the bill will be to make millions of
Americans pay more than they are now
paying for the articles in question—
notably woolens, carpets, shoes and
gloves—while a few hundred protected
manufacturers will pocket increased
; profits; and this in all probability will
be the way the thing will work. It has
I worked that way again and again in the
past. But this result will not cause
! great grief to the men who framed the
bill. They are not averse to giving the
manufacturers, monopolists and the
trust-kings increased revenues. Another
Presidential campaign approacnes; more
I "fat" will have to he "fried" out of the
protected plutocrats to meet its expenses.
But, sad to relate, the interests of all the
"fat" yielders are no more the same than
are the interests of the different sections
of the country. And although Mr. Mc-
Kinley and his associates have spent
many weary days and night in anxious
thought and prayerful struggle, they
! have not been able to satisfy anyone, i
The task was too difficult and they will i
bring in their bill with a chorus of pro
! tests and denunciations going up against |
I it from conflicting interests within the
party. But Mr. Heed has said that the I
bill will pass, and what Mr. Heed says!
goes in the present House of Represent- j
atives, not by a very large but by an en
tirely safe majority.
The proposition formulated by the !
committee on banking of the Pan-Ameri
can Conference for tlie establishment of
an international bank under a United
States charter, with branches or agencies
in the several countries. With interna
tional arbitration for the amicable ad
justment of any misunderstandings or
difficulties that may arise between tin-
American governments, and the neces
sary hanking facilities at home for the
transaction of their business—facilities
for which they now have to make a cir
cuitous trip to another continent at a
; serious disadvantage—the establishment
I of reciprocity on terms mutually bene
ficent to all cannot be delayed.
The hotels, which have been crowded
to overflowing for the past two weeks,
are beginning to resume their normal
and customary appearance of being just
comfortably full—of guests, mind you.
The principal arrivals are of gentlemen
who wantto impress large sections of their
: views on the ways and means committee
with respect of the tariff. As one of
them remarked : "The ways and means
committee seems unusually unpliable.
I cannot help thinking that something is
being held back. I believe that the
party policy of protection is being held
j up as a shell, while the kernel will he
found lodged in the State Department in
the form of a gigantic scheme of recip
! rocity or free trade with all America to
i defeat the Democratic cry for tariff re
form by out-lleroding Herod."
1 Inspiring strains of music by the Ma
rina Band, nodding branches from tall,
graceful palms, arranged in a suite of
magnificent apartments on the main floor
of the Arlington, were among the attrac
tions which greeted the guests Saturday
evening at the reception tendered by the
the representatives of the United States
j to their associates in the Pan-American
Conference. Out of 700 invitations sent
j out by the Secretary of the State it is
I safe to say that few regrets were sent,
I judging from the crowd in attendance
until midnight. There was an absence
of any formality whatever, but the spirit
i of fraternity prevailed in the most cor
-1 dial and enthusiastic degree, and citizens
1 of the sister republics of the American
1 Continent were indeed harmonious and
| united in having a good time.
It is expected that the battle ships
which were knocked out of the naval
appropriation bill by the committee of
the whole will be restored by the House.
The regular lenten season of penance
anil self-denial is over, but we now have
a supplementary season of suffering.
The tariff debate will soon begin. R.
