OPPONENTS of ballot reform, tie i
spairing of preventing its adoption in '
nearly all of the States, as a final cf- '
fort to defeat it, are raising the cry j
that it would cost too much money.
Anything that will tend to reform the
ballot and to permit a full and free !
expression of the voters is worth pay
ing for, and the people are ready and
anxious to do the paying. Fair and
honest elections ought to result in the
electing of fair and honest officials,
and the people would thus more than
get their money back. A good, vig
orous ballot reform law in Pennsyl
vania would not come amiss.
THE McKinley bill aims a blow at
some of the most vital interests of this
country. The increase on women's
clothing proposed under this iniquit
ous measure would have to be borne
by the poorest of our women to bene
fit, perhaps, half a dozen manufactur
ers. The manufacturers to-day are
suffering only for free raw materials.
We want to work with them so that
they can give employes constant work
and avoid strikes. The farmers are
awakening to the fact that while they
must pay high tariff taxes on every
thing that they buy, they must accept
the prices of free trade England for
their products.— Mr, Constable (of
Arnold, Constable tt' Co.), JFeir Fork
merchant.
FROM various pension decisions of
tbe Interior Department it is clear
enough that no sullen maligner nor
cowardly deserter will be refused a
place on the list of pensioners. The
latest addition to the roll is Henry C.
Bird, a drafted man, who deserted at
the first opportunity, was caught,
courtmartialed and sentenced to "com
plete his term of service." While
serving this sentence the disgraced
man contracted a pensionable dis
ability; but being an offender under
sentence he could not be pensioned.
It has been reserved for Assistant
Secretary Bussey, of the Interior De
partment, to declare that such a man
is the peer of the brave men who
fought and suffered uncomplainingly,
and that he deserves and is entitled to
a pension. If this is so, there is hardly
a sneaking coward nor shirking coffee
cooler who could be kept off the Pen
sion Office rolls.
GENERAL HASTINGS' Republican cam
paign committee, at a meeting in
Philadelphia, a few days ago, said
the following in their address to
the Republican voters of Pennsyl
vania : "The most thoughtful of men
of our party have not failed to dis
cern that the tide of popular support
which carried Benjamin Harrison in
the Presidential chair has been ebb
ing Bince the last election, and many
strongholds of the Republican party
have been captured, and some Stntes
hitherto Republican have gone Demo
cratic. It does not belong to us to
speculate upon causes, for they may I
be removed, but the same influences
prevail in Pennsylvania as in other
States, and being timely warned we
should omit no effort to keep Penn
sylvania in the Republican column.
To do this we feel that a proper re
gard should be paid to the over
whelming demand which comes from
all parts of the State for General
Hastings." Yes! the Republican
tide has been "ebbing since the last
election," and will continue to ebb un
der the management of Boss Quay
and Harrison.
EX-SENATOR EMERY, of McKean
county, some weeks ago in a public
speech, accused Senator Delamater,
the candidate for the Republican
nomination for Governor, of perjury,
forgery and bribery, not to mention
any crimes of lesser grade, and de
clared himself able, willing and
anxious to furnish proofs of his aver
ments wherever and whenever called
upon. Delamatehns made no attempt
to vindicate himself but he sought a
left-hnnded vindication by trying to
secure delegates in McKean county.
He was aided in his effort by Con
gressman Watson, who wants a re
nomination in the Twenty-seventh dis
trict, and by the powerful backing of
the Standard Oil Company. For
once, however, the Standard appears
to have shouldered a load too heavy
for it. Senator Emery has carried
his county against Delamater, and the
perjury, forgery and bribery charges,
instead of being informally rubbed
out, have been informally rubbed in.
It is a sad, sad occurrence when an
indifferent public will not assist in
vindicating a distressed candidate,
even when he is willing to pay for it.
THE decision of the United States
Supreme Court sustaining the Ed
munds' law, which dissolves the Mor
mon Church corporation, and confis
cates its outside property means the
death of Mormonism. The charter of
the so-called church is thus annulled
and polygamy has been dealt a blow
from which it will never recover.
There is no way, nor is there a desire,
in this country to find away to make
those who believe in the" Mormon
Church believe in anything else, but
i there is away to stamp out polygamy,
j and that way has been taken. The
i decision is the best thing that could
I happen for Utah, for it will not be
J long now before that territory will be
' admitted as a State. It never would
; have had a chance for admission but
| for the clause providing for the taking
| of the anti-polygamy oath before the
Monnons can vote. Polygamy is a
disgrace to the whole country, and it
| is gratifying to know that hereafter it
[ cannot be practiced even in Utah ex
| cept as a crime. Three of the judges
| of the Supreme Court, including the
I Chief Justice, dissented from the de
j cision, declaring that certain essential
| provisions of the Edmunds' act are
j unconstitutional, but the majority,
! fortunately, took another view Of the |
I matters, and thus the Mormon lenders, :
I who so bitterly fought the law in the
| Territorial Courts, hoping to save the
| life of polygamy, are totally routed.
Indeed the majority of the Supreme
! Court, it is understood, justify the
confiscation of the church property
on the ground that the property was
used to sustain the practice of poly- j
gamy.
Evading the Law*.
The Mine Examining Boards of this
Fourth district are confronted with a
dilemma—one that the framer of the
law creating such hoards of examiners
never dreamed of.
Long before the law went into force,
authorizing a miner to hold a certificate
of competency to work as a miner in an
anthracite coal mine, it was the custom
in some collieries to have two miners
work their breasts, gangways, or what
ever contract they had as partners.
Since the law, requiring miners to be
certified, this plan has increased to sneli
an extent as to he almost a defiance to
the law. It is done in this way : A
miner receives a certificate from the ex
amining board, gets a job and is assigned
to a breast, gangway or some other con
tract work and an uncertified man
placed with him. This man to all intent
and purpose is only a laborer, but when
pay-day arrives tire certified miner turns
over the difference in wages to the sup
posed laborer, and he is placed on the
same footing as the man in whose name
the contract is entered. If any trouble
arises between them, as to qualifications
or other matter, the mine: cannot get
rid of his uncertified partner, hut is
quietly given to understand that he must
keep him and if not satisfactory lie can
quit.
The miners in good standing—those
possessing certificates—should see to it
that those men are shaken off them,
and refuse point-blank to share their
hard earned wages with men who have
no responsibility resting on them. By
this means and no other can the miners
of the Anthracite Coal Field protect
themselves and live up to the law. It is
useless to rail and scold the examiners.
They cannot be cognizant of all viola
tions of the law, and must, in a great
measure, rely on their fellow-workmen
to aid them in its enforcement by bring
ing to their notice any violations of the
law when it takes place.
Some Ratller Impertinent Questions.
The TRIBUNE recently published the J
list of thirty questions which the census j
enumerators are to ask of each person j
when they start out on their work next ■
month. A vigorous protest is being made j
against some of them by the prominent i
Journals of the country. The New |
York Sun says:
We call attention to the amazing pro
gramme of inquisition which has been I
prepared by tbe Superintendent of the j
Census. Me are glad to observe that
j there is likely to l>e a general protest
against the outrage which the Census
Bureau intends to perpetrate in the name
of the United States Government.
The census enumerators will start out
on their rounds equipped with a schedule
of thirty questions. Among other ob
jects of inquiry, they are instructed to
ascertain from every citizen and in
habitant of the United States :
"22. Whether the or she is) suffering from
acute or chronic disease, with the nume of dis
ease and length of time afflicted.
"22. Whether defective in mind, sight, hear
. ing or speech; or whether crippled, maimed or
deformed, and name of defect,
"24. Whether a prisoner, convict, homeless
child, pauper,
"25 and 211. is the home you live in hired, or is
it owned by the itead or by a member of the
family?
"27. If owned by head or member of the
family, Is the house free from mortgage on
cumbranc ?
"2s. If the head of the family is a farmer, is
| the farm which lie cultivates hired, or is it
owned by him or by a member of his family ?
"20, If owned by head or member of family,
| is the farm free from mortgage encumbrance?
"30. If the home or farm is not owned by
' head or member of family and mortgaged, give
tite post office address of owner."
We advise every citizen and inhab
itant who respects himself and is disposed
to resent an impertinent, unwarranted I
and illegal intrusion into his private af-1
fairs to refuse flatly to answer any of the
questions here quoted from the schedule, i
Not one of them is within the constitu
tional scope of the Federal census. Not ;
one of them is justified by necessity or j
propriety. The census-takers have no |
more business to investigate the chronic |
maladies, the bodily defects and the pri
vate account-hooks of the people living !
under this free Government than they
have to inquire into our loves and
hatreds, our moral weaknesses, our se
j cret sorrows. It would be lust as legiti
| mate and legal a proceeding for the
enumerators to present themselves with
pencil and cardboard, and to demand, ,
under penalty of a S3O fine, true answers
to the inquiries here subjoined :
41 ff married, do you really love your wife or
husband, or do you only protend to?"
"What secret doubts, if any, do you entertain
relative to the existence of n Supreme Iking- ?"
"Is there anything: in your past life of which
you are now ashamed, and if so, what is it?" j
"What is the amount of your indebtedness
to your tailor, your dressmaker, your butcher,
your milkman? Does your next-door neigh- j
bos pay his debts?"
We do not advise the violent eject-1
ment of the census agent who demands
of you answers to these questions. The 1
enumerator is only obeying his orders.
It is not necessary to kick down the front
steps the stranger who officially and j
calmly interrogates you as to the physio
logical and mental imperfections of your
self, your wife, and your children. " It is
only necessary to refuse point-blank the
information desired in the interest of
statistical seience and demanded in the
name of the law, and to send the enumer
\ ator about his business. His business is
I to count the people for the purpose of ap
portioning Representatives in Congress
j and direct taxes. He lias 110 more right
j to require answers to the questions
j quoted above than lias the man who goes
around canvassing for a directory,
j If the enumerator, still acting under
j I)its instructions, warns you that you will
be fined S3O for refusing to disclose your \
j chronic maladies, your physical defects !
I and the private busines affairs of your
| landlord, laugh at him.
| Our readers can judge for themselves
I iiow likely they are to be indicted, tried,
convicted of misdemeanor and fined for
I refusing to answer questions which the |
j I"nited States Government has 110 con-j
stitutional authority to ask. But if there j
should be a general agreement on the |
part of citizens to resist this obnoxious |
and unnecessary inquisition, the position \
of eacli individual refuser would tie bet
j ter. It would be an interesting experi
! ment if the census officers should indict !
the whole community for refusing to j
disclose its secret physical ailments and j
its private debts for the benefit of statis-1
tical science.
Section 2191 of the Revised Statutes,
being part of the general Census law of j
1859, under which the censuses of 1850,
1800 and 1870 were taken, provided a I
penalty of s3t 1 for refusal to answer either j
of the inquiries authorized bylaw. But
the fine had to he sued for anil recovered j
in a civil action by the Assistant United I
States Marshal in the district.
The law of 1879, and again the present
law of 1889, provided a penalty not ex
ceeding $100," and made a misdemeanor
of willful failure or refusal to respond to
to the enumerator's interrogatories. The
present law also provides that the pen
alty may be enforced '"by indictment or
appropriate action in any Court (United
States Court) of competent jurisdiction."
From the Capitol.
WASHINGTON, May 27, 'OO,
The expected happened when by an
unanimous vote the Democratic members
of the Kentucky Legislature selected ex-
Speaker Carlisle to succeed the late Sena
tor Beck. It is seldom so high an honor
is conferred on a man under such cir
cumstances as existed in this particular
case, but Mr. Carlisle's services in behalf
of his party fully entitle him to such
recognition, it is also a high compli
ment to the ex-Speaker that the most
forcible argument that could be used
against him was the fact that his eleva
tion to the Senate would deprive the
House Democrats of a leader whose
ability was conceded on every hand.
Mr. Carlisle's Congressional career has
been marked by a spirit of fairness to
his political opponents which has won
for him the highest regard beyond the
lines of his party. 1 n fact, this one
trait was the only thing that could
be urged against his efficiency as a leader
on the floor of the House. His over
shadowing spirit of fairness renders him
less aggressive than was sometimes nec
essary for successful leadership. The
dignity of the Senate will, no doubt, be
more suitable to Mr. Carlisle's tastes
than the turmoil of the House, and his
elevation will strengthen the Democratic
minority in the Upper branch of Con
gresß. There will be an interesting con
test on the Democratic side as to who
shall wear the discarded mantle of tne
ex-Speaker. There is no Samuel J.
Kendall or no Samuel Sullivan Coxe to
turn to. The Democratic minority must
exploit in an untried field and make a
selection, but the opportunities for suc
cess are, however, almost unlimited.
Mr. McKinley has to hold a pretty t
tight rein to keep Home of the members I
of the majority from kicking over the
traces and smashing the dashboard of
his tariff cart. The Republican mem
bers of the Ways and Means Committee j
held court in the private consulting
room Saturday and heard a number of
Republican members, who want certain !
things in the bill different from what i
they are. At one time the room was I
crowded with members. Half a dozen
or more different subjects were discussed I
but the committee did not commit them- j
selves to any new proposition. There ;
ate a large number of Republicans in j
the House who have amendments to of- !
fer and are clamoring for more time for j
the consideration of the bill by sections. '
The committee will not grant thisexten- j
sion, however, and Mr. McKinlay says ',
the vote on the bill and amendments will
! be taken on Wednesday, as provided by
' the new rule. Ex-Speaker Carlisle is
i expected to make his last effort in the I
| House on next Wednesday, closing the
debate for the Democrats. lie will have
| but five minutes under tbe rules, but if
he arrives in time unanimous consent
will he asked that he be allowed to speak
without limit. It is hardly possible that
any member would object to this, in
view of the uniform courtesy shown to
everyone by ex-Speaker Carlisle when
presiding over the House.
The House committee on claims has
under consideration the Roach claim
against the Government growing out of
the buildingof the Dolphin. Thematter
has become a party issue in the com
mittee, the Democrats endeavoring to
defeat it as a vindication of ex-Secretary
Whitney, while the Republicans have
accepted the issue as a political one and
are on the Roach side of the issue. So
far the Democrats have been more alert
and attentive, and have kept the hands
of the majority tied. This is the only
claim that the committee on rule will
give a special order, and the Democrats
| are greatly amused over the tie-up they
have accomplished in the claims com
mittee.
Will the Senate ever adopt the previ
ous question? This query has been
j made many times and has usually been
] answered in the negative. The Senate
J is a body which is sometimes, with all
I its dignity, more partisan than the
House. But as regards the privileges of
its individual members it is disposed to
subordinate party advantage to personal
consideration. The Senate will probably
maintain free-and-easy debate and let
election and other party measures take
care of themselves.
Senator John .lames Ingalls says the
Decalogue and the Golden Rule have no
place in politics, and First Assistant Post
master-General Clarkson declares that
this Government should he wholly prac
tical, business principles having no place
in it. According to the combined logic
of these two distinguished Republicans,
therefore, there should be neither morals
nor method in the administration of the
public alTairs of this Republic.
Senator Sherman does not "want any
free coinage in his," and says he will
vote by himself first. It is not likely,
however, that he will be permitted to
flock by himself on the negative of this
question. R.

■ ■ WASHINGTON, 11. C., May 27. —When
1 j the Rev. Samuel L. Gracy, of Massachu
\ setts, was proposed for a consulate by the
Massachusetts Senators it was stated that
j Gracy had rendered valuable party serv
j ice in the last compaign by keeping the
j "Prohibition Republicans" in line for the
Republican candidates.
f.titer on President Harrison was in
formed by a distinguished Massachusetts
Republican that Mr. Gracy's chief serv
| ice to the Republican party in the last
campaign was in suppressing, in the Re
publican Gubernatorial Convention of
j Massachusetts, the ballots which the
Prohibition Republicans had prepared
for the nomination of President G'apen,
■of Tuff's College, for Governor. Never
theless, under the pressure of Hoar and
j Dawes, President Harrison nominated
j Gracy for Consul at Cardiff, Wales.
| As soon as he saw the nomination Sen
! ator Spooner, of Wisconsin, rushed up to
the White House and told the President
j that Evan Jones, the incumbent at
J Cardiff, was a wounded Republican vet
! eran of the Iron Brigade, appointed by
President Arthur, whose removal after
j he had been retained by Cleveland,
would alienate the Welsh vote. Harri
son took the hint, and to-day withdrew
Gracy's nomination to Cardiff and
nominated him to Foo Chow, China, not
so desirable a place. We should think
not.
BASE BALL.
Don't miss the two great games at

THE TIGERS DEFEATED.
Sunday afternoon was cold, damp and
chilly, and it proved to be a cold jjay in |
general for the Tigers, as they snored I
their first defeat at the hands ortheir
most bitter opponents—the Gimlers—by
a score of oto 2. The game was marred
by some of the most glaring errors ever
seen oil the base ball ground. The
Tigers played a miserable, listless, don't
care-sort of a game, and the dash and ]
vim which they have shown in previous
contests was absent; while the Gimlers
played a game, which if kept up will bo :
hard to beat. They pounded the ball ]
hard, and often, at times when the |
Tigers were getting in their errors, which
accounts for their victory. The score by
innings as follows:
Tigers 1 0000010 o—2
Gimlers 101 0 4000 x—o |
