FREELAND, SEPTEMBER 18, 1890. i THE demonstration that it requires but one session of the present Con-1 gress to convert a $70,00(1,0(10 surplus into a $60,000,000 deficit is liable to classification under the title of per nicious activity. SOME men pose as anti-monopolists and profess deep sympathy al>out this time every year for the poor working man —yet they are the greatest mon opolists in their section, and odd to their riches by making the poor man poorer. Will workingmen continue to he thus fooled ? THE workingmen of this country have an excellent chance to show the faith that is in them, by voting at the next election for Thomas Dullard and Thomas McGraw for County Com missioners. With these two men in the Commissioners' office, the lahor-1 ing man and the farmers interest will be carefully looked after. THE House of Representatives has j never had an opportunity to consider the McKinley Tariff hill in detail. It was prepared in committee and adopted without digestion. Since it has come back from the Senate in a new form, the House should have a chance to debate its provisions; hut the Republican caucus has determined that it shall not he debated except in conference committee. This perform ance reduces the business of legisla tion to a farce. There has been no legislation. There has been a scheme of taxation arranged between politi cal leaders and parties in interest, which will be thrust upon the statute book without even the formality of impartial consideration or the oppor tunity of change.— Phila. Record. Candidate. Itarcluy and Stewart. The Republican candidate for Secre tary of Internal Affairs, Thomas J. Ste wart, continues traveling over the State attending fairs, Grand Army camp fires and political meetings wherever he can find them. His duties are at llarrisburg, where he goes regularly once a month to draw his salary. The Democratic candidate for the same office, Capt. William H. Barclay, is constantly at his desk in the Pittsburg Pension Office performing his duties to the government and the pensioners of the district. He attended camp-fires along the Potomac and throughout the South during the war, when there was danger instead of festivity around the bean kettle and the soup bowl. But he did his duty then as he is doing it now. Therein a contrast in this which should invite public reflection. The citizen can see in it which of the two men deserves j most at the hands of the public. Barclay attends to his duty while Stewart is beg-1 ging votes. Clirls. Mageo Holt, the Ticket. In an interview last week witli a re porter Chris. Magee reiterated his state-1 ment that he is not supporting Dela- | mater, and mentioned the significant | fact that out of the seven Republican i newspapers published in Allegheny I county only one is supporting Quay's candidate for Governor. No one can or ever did question the stalwart Repub licanism of Chris. Magee, and his stand against Delamater is of the highest im-1 portance because it is that of a prominent I leader in the Republican party, and is similar to that of thousands of Republi can voters in tho western part of the State. In speaking of his position Mr. Magee said : I am not supporting Mr. Delamater and there are a great many others who arenot. In Western Pennsylvania then is a great deal of discontent among the i Republicans and a very strong feeling against Delamater, mainly because he is Quay's man. Just what the result will tie it is hard to say, and I doubt if any one can come anywhere near it until election day. 1 admire Mr. Pattison very much, indeed. The people of Penn sylvania diil not until recently realize the gravity of the situation. People outside of the State saw it better and clearer than the residents. Republicans all over the State were dissatisfied with Quay and his methods, and tho campaign will be very exciting. —Call at George Wise's Sadlery and Harness Store and examine his now and supurb stock of Fly Neta. Prices away down. BosaUm In Pennsylvania. The words of the Scrnnton Truth, re produced below, are commended to the consideration of intelligent and patriotic citizens. The able editor of that pro gressive journal indulges in no vitupera tion, but he protests in dignified and forceful language against the degeneracy of political leaders and the tendency to demoralization which follows. The one remedy against the growing evil is suggested by the Truth. It is in the repudiation of the party whose coun cils are corrupted by bad leadership and selfish men. Half-way measures will not avail. The ulcer must be cut away root and all. The defeat of Dela mater will accomplish that. The protest of Editor Barrett is not the complaint of a disappointed man. He is not a candidate for office. He wants no place. But he is a patriotic citizen, who believes that prosperity depends upon honest government, and that public integrity cannot bo hoped for from a I party with a leadership that is tarnished. In this he is right. The boss-ridden State of Pennsylvania, with all its boasted intelligence and vast wealth, has long been a reproach in the eyes of the nation because of its abject subserviency to the rule of petty bosses and commercial politicians. With a con stitution authorizing not less than a mil lion dollars annually for a public school system the grand old Commonwealth has permitted itself to become the plaything of counterfeit statesman. It would not be the subject of much wonder to find un- I scrupulous men of brilliant powers in the lead, but the shame of it is that the only quality for which Pennsylvania's political bosses are conspicuous is low cunning, coupled with an utter disregard of every principle of manhood and honor, such as should belong to the leaders of men. Having intrenched themselves in power through an overwhelming Republican majority, the Republican bosses of Penn sylvania no longer respect the will of the people, and, in utter defiance of decent public opinion, they select as their candidates for office the most pliant and submissive partisan they can find. 1 Then the people, the intelligent masses of the Republican party, who were ignored in the choice of a candidate, as in the case of Mr. Delamater, the nominee for Governor, are expected to roll up "old fashioned majorities" through appeals to | partisan prejudices, and the revival of played out issues, which have been worn I threadbare in the creation of majorities I ' for years. I This system prevails not only at the I I very head and front of the great Repub- J lican party of Pennsylvania, but it pene-1 trates right through the organization I down to the election of a village con- j ! stable, and every man who shows suffi cient strength of will and individuality ] to protest against it, is immediately j l blacklisted and marked out for political i punishment. In this way a great organ- i 1 ization, with a proud history behind it as I j the exponent and champion of liberty, has been thwarted and dwarfed in the 1 Keystone State until it has become a common machine for the elevation to | power and place of a set of unscrupulous I incompetents. The Republicans of Pennsylvania are a I patient people. Time and again they j have permitted themselves to be deluded ; into the support of Cameronism and 1 Quayism rather than take issue with the j party they loved so well and whose grand traditions they cherished so sacredly, but 1 they are beginning to realize that they owe it to the party itself to shake off the baneful boss domination that has been degrading it for years, and bring repre sentative men of honor and honesty to the front. It is high time there was an end of lloss and Boodle politics in this State, and the present campaign affords I ample opportunity for giving both these vicious influences the quietus. It can | not be done, however, unless a sufficient number of self-respecting Republicans firmly resolve that they will teach the ar rogant party bosses a lesson that they j will not learn in any other way than through crushing defeat. In addition to defeating the Guberna torial candidate of the bosses let the people elect a Legislature pledged to the realization of ballot reform at the earliest possible opportunity, and thus a double victory will be achieved for manhood and for freedom. The boss and boodle sys tem of conducting politics stands con demned before every intelligent man in Pennsylvania; now let the rule of the bosses be relegated to oblivion and the rule of the people prevail. The above is from the Pittsburg Times, a staunch Republican paper, and is an indication of the feeling that exists in Western Pennsylvania. Quuy Won't Reply. The friends of Senator Quay give it j out that he will not reply to the terrible arraignment of Representative Kennedy (an account of which the TRIBUNE pub- I lißhed in its last issue). Of course he will not. There's nothing for Quay to , say, because the charges are true. Mr. I Kennedy said that Senator Quay ! is "charged with corruption," that he is | "a branded criminal," that his "silence I is confession of guilt" and that "he should be driven from the head of a I party whose very life his presence im- 1 I perils." Quay will not reply because he | cannot. An honest man in .Senator Quay's place would boldly defend himself. An hon est man would not keep still while being branded as a felon. 1 And by his cowardly cringing, sneak ing, humiliating silence, Quay marks himself in the light of all men as a con vict—without the striped clothing. Philadelphia Republicans for Pattison. The self-respecting Republican busi | Hess and professional men of Philadel | Ph' a have organized and issued an ad dress to the voters of the State. The address is a departure from the usual type of campaign literature. It is as far from platitude and pretence as it is ex empt from rhetorical uffectation. Rut it 1 is the plain practical utterances of sin-1 cere men, who aim to accomplish good results in a manly way, and will carry conviction wherever it is read. The gentlemen whose signatures are append ed to the address are widely known and of Republican predilections. Clear thinkers and logical reasoners, they have correctly interpreted the issues drawn by | tlie parties in the pending contest, and, < | with a courage that is commendable and 1 , a sincerity that is admirable, they declare their intentions in the premises. It is upon such circumstances as this the hopes of the future are based. When bad men are no longer able to impose on credulity their power will cease, and with them venality will disappear from public place. Senator Quay lias endeavored to accomplish selfish purposes by concealing ! tliem under false pretences. Rut the Lincoln Independent Republicans have j stripped off the mask and left the scheme disclosed. There is but one issue bo tween the parties and that is the per petuation of Quayism by the election of Delamater or the elimination of it through the triumph of Pattison. The following is a part of the address, which is respectfully referred to our Repuplican readers and their friends : Mr.Quay isthe acknowledged,unblush ing champion of political corruptionists. He is silent under a recent, .tesponsidble and repeated charge of the embezzlement of public money; ho selects Mr. Dela mater as candidate for Governor, and a ; pliant convention ratifies his selection; i the party platform endorses Mr. Quay and Mr. Delamater stands on the party platform and no other. The conclusion , is irresistible that the election of Mr. Delamater will have as its main and most potent result the public approval of Mr. Quay, and his permanent intrench- I ment in the Republican party of the State as its acknowledged leader and counsellor, the Representative of its principles and the exponent of its policy. The election of Mr. Delamater means the public endorsement of Mr. Quay, and the increase of his prestige, not only in the State but in the country, the en couragement of his methods, the eleva tion to greater and greater power of men made in his mould. The election of Mr. Pattison will secondarily give to the State j a tried, trusty Executive, but primarily it will he a rebuke, felt not only in Penn sylvania, but throughout the land, to a ; man who has corrupted and dishonored J . a great party ana a great .State; to } a man who has given his strength f< r | the triumphs of political methods which . are not only false and vicious in them- ! j selves, but which, if unchecked, will ac- j complish the ultimate ruin <>f free in stitutions, as in past ages they have ! accomplished the downfall of empires, j ; Quay Select** Delamater'* Cabinet. , In pursuance of his expressed deter- j J mination to own and control a Governor, Senator Quay has already begun to dis tribute the patronage of the Delamater i | administration "in the event of his elec- i tion." I Upon authority of the most undoubted j i source it is stated that Senator Quay has ! selected the lion. Lyman I). Gilbert, of j llarrisburg, for Attorney General; Gen. | Frank lteeder. of Easton, for Secretary 1 of the Commonwealth, and George H. ! North, of this city,for Adjutant General | under Delamater "in the event of his j election." i Thus Mr. Delamater has a Cabinet | ready made for him. Without question ing the ability or integrity of the gentle- : man, it is a little humiliating that pro prietorship of the Governor should be assorted so early even "in the event of his election." — Phila. Herald. Quay Dure Not Bring Suit. The Philadelphia News, whose edi torial making war upon Quay and Dela mater was reproduced in the TRIBUNE I last week, says it has received authentic information that the friends of Mr. ; Quay are pressing him to bring suit against The News for libql. Rut The 1 Nems refuses to believe that Quay will do this. "Who ever heard of a rascal like Matt Quay," asks The News, "giving I anyone a chance to prove that he ought | I to be in a grated cell, or of giving any j : one a chance to send him there?" That's i plain talking, to he sure, coming as it 1 i does from a leading Republicam paper. ' This is a very pointed way of stating the ■ • case, but it covers the whole ground ex > actly, and, as it comes from a Republican I source, it must be most humiliating to ' the self-respect and moral sentiment of . i every conscientious and honest Republi- ! - can in the State to be associated with a | party that has as its head and principal j leader a man that is now recognized the . | world over as little better than a common i thief. 3 j Alleghany County Against Quay. | Two months and two weeks have pass I faction with the man and the methods employed for his elevation has grown in j to open revolt that extends all over the j State. The uprising of the Republicans i who have no personal grievances is so j Q pronounced that no man who is acquain- ted with the facts will honestly dispute ' j the claim that the western Republican ! I counties —from Alleghany, which gave 1 Harrison 20,000 majority in 1888, down —are doubtful ground; that the close counties—Centre, Bedford, Fayette and ' Westmoreland—are certain to give good majorities for Pattison; that such Demo cratic centres as Clearfield, Elk and i Clarion counties will pass their previous records; and that, if reports from the eastern counties are uot exaggerated, nothing that .Senator Quay can now do can prevent the defeat of Delamater and the election of Pattison by a large major- I ity. What We Want. All hull the dawn of a new day breaking. When a strong-armed nation shall take away The weary burdeds from baeks that are aching With maximum lahor and minimum pay: ; When no man is honored who hoards his millions; When no man feasts on another's toll. And God's poor, suffering, starving billions Shall share his riches of sun and Boil. There is gold for all in the eurth's broad bosom, There is food for all in the land's great store, Enough is provided, if rightly divided; Let each man take what lie needs—no more. Shame on the miser with unused riches. Who robs the toiler to swell his hoard, Who beats down the wage of the digger of ditches And steals the bread from the poor man's board. Shame on the owner of mines, whose cruel And selfish measures have brought him wealth, i While the ragged wretches who dig ids fuel Are robbed of comfort and hoje and hculth. , Shame on the ruler who rides in his carriage bought with the labor of half-paid men- Men who are shut out of home and marriage | And are herded like sheep in a hovel pen. Let the clarion voice of the nation wake him To broader vision and fairer play. Or lot the band of a Just law shako him Till his ill-gained dollars shall roll away. ■ Let n<* man dwell under a mountain of plunder, ( I.efc no man suffer with want ami cold; i We want right living, not mere alms-giving. ' 1 We want Just dividing of labor and gold, 3 ' -LEUa Wheeler Wilcox, in New York World. I A SiamcNe Execution. The death penalty of capital punish- i mcnt by decapitation was indicted on si ' robber and murderer sit Bankok Aug. j 30 sit 8 o'clock in the morning, on the j execution grounds nesir Wat Mat Ksi San sit Sapatoom, savs the Kangkok Times. The criminal was si Siamese, who while attempting a burglary at Musing Hah Yong murdered a China man named Chin Clice in a somewhat brutal manner by menus of a blud geon. Shortly after 7 o'clock in the morn ing representatives of the four special departments of the government began to put in sm appearance on the ground. These were followed sit intervals by members of the staff of executioners, with attendants. Shortly afterward two large boats belonging to the war department, msmncd by sailors and containing a detachment of soldiers i under the command of a Siamese cap- ; tain of infantry, arrived with the pris- I oner. The arrival of these bosits was j heralded by the sound of a hand-gong, I struck signitieantly at intervals by the j person who held it, precisely as six i bells is struck on shipboard, as—one two, one-two, one-two. This sounding | of the gong was continued regularly during the preparations for the execu tion, and was a particularly solemn feature of the proceedings. The doom ed man was attended by the officers of Borispah jail, and secured by means of chairs, his head, however, being lixed I in portable stocks about live feet long, borne ou his shoulders, his hands being | put through between the long bars j forming the stocks, and there secured at the wrists by means of small wooden j stocks. On being helped out of the ' boat the criminal was seated on the | grass, in full view of all. lie was a fair specimen of his class, as far as j strength and power were concerned, and apparently about 30 years of age. ; Although a few partially healed scars were visible on his back, from which j it may be judged that he had under gone corporal punishment to sonic ex tent, the criminal showed no traces of suffering or hardship, and had certain ly been far front starved during his de tention in tlie jail, lie was stolid and seemingly indifferent as regards the preparations going on, and with his future grave in full sight, after signify ing his desire for food, ate a very hearty meal of rice, lisli, and fruit, which was provided for him. On one occasion he actually laughed. Meanwhile the temporary altar was being made the repository of the swords of the executioner's staff, to the num ber of fully sixteen weapons of various makes, and one special weapon adorn ed as to its handle with a carved head, I and the purpose of which will appear hereafter. The swords proper were i placed on the super-altar, all in order, the special weapon, a short, thick, sharp cleaver, on the lower altar. The whole altar was then crowded with i offerings in the shape of cooked ! (boiled) pigs' heads, fowls, plantains, ' I limes, eocoanuts, custard, apples, j I cakes, chutney, spices, samshu, and | ; other articles, what could not be placed . ! on the altar being arranged ou the ! ground on palm leaves before it. The executioner-in-chief, who was j distinguished from the others by his j white gold-fringed drawers under his I pauony, the others wearing red ones, I then arrayed himself in his red vest | and bound his forehead with a red i | sash, all the staff doing likewise. Tho criminal was then placed in a central position, seated on the palm leaves, the stock and neck chains removed, and j his elbows secured to a short bamboo post placed in the ground behind him, which, by the by, had also been under the altar during the preparatory cere monies there. The executioner then 1 talked with the criminal, apparently asking forgiveness, as the prisoner nodded and spoke assent to what had been said. The special attendant, act ing somewhat in the capacity of a priest, with the executioner, marked out a line which was easily recogniza ble on the neck of the prisoner, and continued to talk in an apparentlycon i solatory strain while the ear orilices of the prisoner were quietly closed with clay. The religious ceremouies were still kept on, burning tapers and joss sticks being placed in the hands of the prisoner and then set up in the ground before him. The minister of the law I then, with stately tread, came from ! the altar behind tho prisoner, and, | while a solemn hush fell on all around, j he drew nearer and nearer the doomed man. The executioner himself is about tho medium size, perhaps some 60 years of age, but quick and active in move ment, with a face which rather betok ens benevolence and deep religious feeling than aught else, A look of de termination and stern sense of duty was on his face as he approached the criminal, and before the latter could possibly be aware, with a single sweep of liis sword in his right hand he sever ed the spinal column and the whole neck with the exception of a small por tion of skin under the chin, which he afterward cut with his sword. The head of the criminal was exposed then for a short time on a pole, while the irons were being removed from tho legs of the bod}' by cutting off the heels with the special weapon spoken of previously. It lacked two minutes to 8:30 in the morning when the fatal stroke was given, and at 8:36 the body had been doubled in the grave, the head thrown in and covered with earth, and traces of the recent event removed. For rapidity of execution, painlessness, solemnity, decorum, and all the re quirements of justice, it is very evi dent that Siam is indefinitely ahead of most eastern nations, if not of western ones (and even that is open to serious question) in its methods of inflicting and carrying out a sentence of capital muiishment. According to a calculation made <*. the United States legation at Paris it is estimated that 60,000 Americans have visited the exhibition. The Matin, reckoning the expenses at Paris of each of the visitors at 6,000 francs, calculates that the total sum they must have spent there cannot be less than 260,000,000 francs. Imlighter In Different Keys. People who laugh in a broad Latin "A" are open-hearted, honest, fond of noisy jocundity, but perhaps of volu ble mood. Excessive, jerking, laugh ter, however, is an evidence of vulgar ity, Those laughing in a dry "A" are respectable, but little expansive, and a hard lot of people. When the Latin "K" prevails, there prevails also a phlegmatic, melancholy temper. Tim orous, unsteady people, also those imbued with malignity, always laugh in a kind of swelling "I." Laughter in "O" is the utterance of proud, bold, imperative, somewhat bantering peo ple. Beware of those who laugh in "oo" (o). They are traitors, haters, -earners.
