Entered at the Freeland I'ostoffice a Second Close Matter. FREELAND, NOVEMBER lb, 1891. THE latest inf . motion from Ohio indicates that Senator Sherman will be the caucus choice of the Republi cans as his own sucessor. This news is reassuring. The presence of ex Governor Fc-raker in the Sennte would have been esteemed a calamity in all parts of the country. GOVERNOR HILL'S Thanksgiving pro clamation calls attention to the fact that the taxes levied for the support of the Government of the State of New York are now the lowest in a generation. The proclamation conies a little early for a campaign document, but it reads like one jus' the same. CAPTAIN MORRISON, State Treasurer elect was appointed by Mr. Boyer on Tuesday to the position of cashier of the treasury, which was made vacant by the flight of William Livsev. 't he Captain will now he inured into all the secret doings of the office, and when he assumes control he will he enabled to continue it in the same manner as it is conducted now. HARRISON'S administration is still having trouble in some of its depart ments. The unmistakable rotten ness of the pension office particularly suggested the idea to one of the clerks, a Mr. Bogy, that there was a good opportunity to make capital out of it and he accordingly set to work and had published a novel which throws an objectionable light on Washington political life. Of course tue ambitious young man had pushed his work beyond the limit, for which lie could not consistently he retained in his position, hut, neverthless, he has caused a few cabinet officials some little amount of worry. As the time draws nigh for the National Committees of both parties to meet in Washington much inter est attaches to them in relation to the selection of the place of meeting of the next Presidential Convention. San Francisco is urgently de irous of se curing it from either or both parties, and, it is reported, has raised $32,000 towards expenses. Hustling Chicago will, of course, make a determined effort, and Omaha, Minneapolis, New- York, Cincinnati and St. Louis have also their advocates. However, it mat ters little to the Democratic people where the convention will be held so long as their choice for the Presi dency, ilr. Cleveland, will he nomi nated. EASTERN newspapers are full of in terviews with Republican shoe manu facturers tending to show how disas trous would he the placing of a duty on hides. Good friends, the Repub lican party managers don't care a tinker's dam how disastrous it might be. They have got to have money for next year's campaign, stacks of it, bar rells and carloads of it. If the Ar mours, Swifts and Morrises will put up the desired amount, they can doubtless buy from the Administra tion the privilege of charging an extra dollar for every bide of meat cuttle they may have to sell. Disastrous, forsooth! These Eastern manufac turers appear to he entirely ignorant of the valuable uses of the tariff act as an adjunct to a political machine. —Jiecord. IOWA'S prohibition amendment will likely be wiped out of the Constitu tion of that State at the next sitting of the Legislatuie. The Democrats are practically committed to the abolishment of the act, while the Re publicans, believing they have con stantly lost power by their efforts to uphold prohibition, are expected to tie with the Democrats in an attempt to repeal tho law. This will appar ently he made easy as opposite parties are in control of the Senate and House. The matter is somewhat complicated by the fact that in 18S2, by a majority of 32,000, the people adopted a prohibition amendment to the Constitution, which was declared by the Supreme Court to he invalid, because of a technical error in the wording of the resolutions in which the Legislature proposed the amend ment. THE Louisianna Lottery Co., the largest gambling concern in the country, and, which, to the detriment of the people, is a legalized affair, is being assailed from all parts of the Union owing to its asking for a re charter. It was believed that when the last Congress passed 1111 act, pro liibiting all correspondence with this establishment through the mails, it would have some deadening effect on its prosperity, hut it is said the company is in as thriving a condition at the present time as ever before. A de- termined effort is being made by the : majority of the people of Lousianna j to rout the nefarious gang and to bar their hurtful business from allprotec , tion of the law. The persons elected j to tho Legislature of the State are | being instructed arid encouraged to reject the bribe of over a million dollars, which the company has offer- j ed for its re charter, and it is thought! that the lottery business will soon be no more. AVall paper at fi cents a roll at Bach man's, next door to Central Hotel, Free- j land. The End of the Farce. The Republican party has 110 more staunch advocate in the United States than the Philadelphia Ledger, and here is what that paper has to say of the extra session of the Senate, which ad journed last week: The action of the State Senate in de claring by a strict party vote that it had no jurisdiction in the case of State Treas urer Boyer had been expected almost from the beginning. Although the ques tion whether the Slate Treasurer has or has not given "reasonable cause" for his dismissal by so dealing with the public funds as to defeat the purposes of the Sinking Fund law has nothing whatever to do with partisan politics, yet it was taken for granted that the Senators of Pennsylvania, having been elected be cause of their partisanship, would act in the matter as partisans, and they have fulfilled the expectation. For a time after the investigation was begun, the Senate conducted the inquiry as though the majority intended to act in the matter free from partisan bias and for the best interests of the Commonwealth. A serious inquiry was made into the charges against Mr. Boyer. These did not involve misappropriation or mis application of public funds for his personal aggrandizement, but disregard of law in dealing with the funds of the Commonwealth, as shown by the antici pated payment of $420,000 of school funds to City Treasurer Bardsley, by reason of which anticipated payment that sum of money was embezzled, and, as was also shown, by other efforts to evade the provisions of the Sinking Fund law of the Commonwealth. The Senate did not consider the question of jurisdic tion that had been raised by counsel for Messrs. Boyer and McCamant until the testimony in this case had been takeli, assuming that it had such jurisdiction, hut all this occurred before the day of election. Argument haying been heard on the question of jurisdiction, and the election having been passed, the Senate was brought face to face with the necessity of passing upon the question. There was a disposition to delay the vote, so as to give at least an appearance of deliberation to the action about to he taken, but one impatient member, who is to be commended for his frankness, called out "let's end the thing now," plainly expressing his opinion that the farce had reached its last scene. Other counsels prevailed, however, and another day was given to so-called argument before the partisan vote was taken that would have been cast on the first day of the session if there had not been then pending an election for Auditor General and State Treasurer. The Senate has not acted with fairness or justice to the people of the Common wealth, to Mr. Boyer or to Mr. McCam ant, It has simply evaded a duty im posed upon it by the Constitution of 1873, which clearly provided for the re moval of certain elected officers for "rea sonable cause," on address of the Senate, as well as for their removal by impeach ment for misdemeanor in office. The Governor did his duty when he called the Senate together in extra session; he gave that body the opportunity to exer cise a power conferred upon it by the Constitution; that it has shirked the is sue need be no concern of the Governor any more than of other law-abiding citi zens of the Commonwealth, who are shamed and disgraced by the subservi ency of the Senate of I'ennsylvania to the supposed demands of partisan policy. It should be remembered in consider ing this subject that, although the cases of Boyer and McCamant and the Mer cantile Appraisers have been linked to gether, they are not properly associated, except as to the question of jurisdiction. No charges of participation in the spoils of John Bardsley were made against Treasurer Boyer in the message of the Governor to the .Senate, or in the testi mony given before the Senate. The charges against the Treasurer were that lie iiad neglected to obey the law; had permitted his cashier, the missing Mr. Livsey, to conduct the office in a manner prejudicial to the interests of the Com monwealth, and had made payments to Bardsley in advance so as to keep State funds out of the Sinking Fund. These charges the Senate investigated before determining that it had no jurisdiction, but it made no investigation of the much more serious charges against Auditor i leneral McCamant, who was alleged to i have shared with John Bardsley the profits of illegal trafficking with State moneys. Auditor General McCamant | escapes investigation by the Senate i under the resolution adopted, and may be regarded as an injured man, for the charges, which are personal, remain hanging over him. So also with the Mercantile Appraisers. They were charg ed with conspiring to defraud the Com- I monwealth, and they are left without a j i vindication by inquiry, the ruling that I the Senate has 110 jurisdiction being' j reached before their cases had been | [ called up. It must be repeated—before j the election the Senate made a fair show I J of a disposition to carry on the inquiry j j in a non-partisan spirit; since the elec j tion it has evaded its duty, dropping not J only the Boyer but the other unventi- I lated and more serious cases under a plea I lof want of jurisdiction. It has, after a pretended inquiry, done its share in cov ering up a shameful scandal that "smells j to Heaven," anil cannot be Bmothered by all the politicians in the State of j Pennsylvania. AN enthusiastic Republican of Ohio has sent to Governor Campbell a live crow. Campbell will keep it until next fall and see if he cannot find a good excuse for sending the bird, nicely stewed, hack to its donor.
