THE Record insists on the candi
dacy of Cleveland, and has no idea of
abandoning its preference. Rut the
New Yorkers must take Cleveland, or
lose the chance of naming a New
Yorker. In case Mr. Cleveland cannot
secure the delegation from his own
S'ate the nomination will go else
where. Oui first choice, in that event,
would be Senator Carlisle. But n
Western man, sound on the tariff
question and the Bilver question,
ought to be nominated if Cleveland's
own State should turn him down
We think, however, that by the time
the convention shall have assembled
the leaders of the Democracy will see
the necessity of consulting the desire
of the masses.— Phila. Record.
The extra session of the Stall
Senate last fall is estimated by Auditor-
General McCamant to have cost ssl,
600. If McCamant can derive am
satisfaction from his contemplation ot
the cost of the session, which was
held to investigate the charges made
against his besmearched official record,
he is welcome to it. It was a large
amount of the people's money to ex
pend without accomplishing the desir
ed result, hut it compelled the Re
publican Senators to brand some of
the leaders as unscrupulous robber?
or acknowledge themselves as perjurer,
who care nothing for law or evidence.
I hey choose the latter course by orde
of Matt Quay, and their substantiation
of the public's suspicions cost $51,606
There is but one course for Demo
crats in the House of Representative
to pursue in the matter of contested
seats, as there is but one right ano
honest course. They have the powei
to unseat properly elected Republi
cans, but they have no right to do so.
They can refuse, as did their Republi
can predecessors, to ignore all
claims for fair play, but if they do
they commit a grievous wrong. It is
bail politics to misuse power, and it is
something worse than bad politics
It is bad morals as well. The fact
that it has been done by Republicans
in no way justifies its doing by Demo
crats. By deciding these contests in
a just manner this Congress can make
a record for itself with which Republi
cans will not dare to compare tin
doings of the last House.
An important and unique decision
is that delivered recently by the
Supreme Court of this State, in which
it sustains the findings of a lowei
court that gave damages to the widow
of a habitual drinker who died from
pneumonia. The disease was con
traded while the man was under the
influence of liquor, and the court held
the saloon keeper who sold the drink
responsible for his death. The case
aroused considerable interest in Phila
delphia, where it occurred, but the
decision will apply equally to all por
tions of Pennsylvania, nn 1 dcalets in
intoxicants are now amendable to the
law for the effects of what they sell.
The act regulating the sale of iiquor
makes special reference to selling to
drunkards, but very few believed its
meaning extended the responsibility
so far as death.
The offices of judges and inspector,
of election are seldom given the at
tention they deserve, but it is ol
special importance that the boards
this year should be filled by men wh>
are in every way qualified to in
augurate the new system of voting,
which becomes a law after March 1
With boards composed of intelligent
and honest citizens, who will do theii
utmost to guide the voters m the
workings of the Baker bill, much ot
the confusion and annoyance incidents
to u new method can be avoided. A
heavy vote will be polled iu November,
and unless competent men are chosen
for judges aud inspectors, the adop
tion of the law iu this State will cer
tainly be a failure. Even as it is
there are many who cannot under
stand the bill, and a bungler inside
the window would cause an amount
of trouble that can only he estimated
by the official's inefficiency.
Matt Quay on Tuesday won his
suit for criminal libel against the
Beaver Utar, which was one of the
papers that published the fac simile
of a check showing that Quay had a
hand in the Bardsley steal. The cli
max of the trial was of a highly sen
sational order, the counsel for the de
fense nsserting in open court that the
jury, which consisted of one Demo
crat and eleven Republicans, had
been packed in Quay's interest. The
appearance of things strengthened
this belief, as the jurymen were out
only twenty minutes in arriving at a
verdict, and the statement that they
were illegally selected was not re
futed. The penalty is a fine not to
exceed SIOOO or imprisonment, or
both. The trial against the Pittsburg
Post begins to-day, and it is stated
Quaywill continue proceedings against
all the newspapers which printed the
fac-simile. We hope he will move
against those in Luzerne County as
soon as possible. The Tribune is on
his list and is anxiously awaiting noti
fication that Quay will bring suit.
The briber, thief and perjurer will
need all the money he ever stole from
Pennsylvania's treasury to overcome
the evidence he will find here.
Cleveland and Hill.
While the sentiment of the people of
the United States is for the renomination
of Cleveland, a coterie of influential poli
ticians is opposed to him. By fair
thinking men, even in the party which
he antagonizes, Cleveland is esteemed
for his candor, consistency and good in
tention. At the Jackson' Day dinner in
New York he reiterated his declaration
of abiding trust in the people and
straightforward dealing. "Let us not
fall under the condemnation which waits
on shifty schemes and insincere profes
sions." "Party honesty is party duty,
and party courage is party expediency."
The opposition to Cleveland which has
been manifested by some of the party
leaders appears to he due, in New York,
to the rivalry of Hill; a fear that all the
otlices would not be thrown open to party
prey and a disrelish for Cleveland's
"Mugwump" supporters, and in certain
sections of tin- West and South to his
emphatic declaration in favor of sound
currency. Cleveland's tarilT views are,
however, acquiesced in by his party,and
with the voters, almost to a man, at his
hack, his opponents will find the task of
overthrowing him almost impossible.
Cleveland has proven himself a sin
cere, patriotic and earnest man. In the
days that he was mi public life he never
faltered in the performance of his duty.
In his eyes the office of Governor or
President was a mere hand to execute
the laws, lie sought efficiency in the
public service, notwithstanding the pro
tests of the politicians. He improved
the service and gave the country one of
the best administrations in its history,
but he lost the friendship of the politi
cians. As he was in olficial life, so he
has been since he became a private citi
zen. He showed sublime courage when
he declined to speak in Ohio last fall.
Had he gone there the result mijihthave
been different; at least his visit would
have added to his personal popularity in
the State. But the Democratic party in
Ohio had incorporated the free coinage
plank in its platform. Cleveland is
nothing if not consistent, He had de
clared himself in opposition to free and
unrestricted coinage of silver, and he
could not stand on a platform which ap
proved it. Such a man is a statesman.
He is above trickery, demagogy and
charlatanism.
H is most formidable opponent is David
B. Hill. That the latter has ability of a
certain kind is not questioned. As a
wily politician and puller of strings he
lias few equals. He keeps a close watch
on the weather-vane of public opinion,
and as the wind blows so he goes. He
is able to bestow patronage where it will
do the most good to himself—a trick
at which all ambitious politicians are not
entirely successful. These qualities are
sufficient for a dabbler in State politics,
but they do not count for quite so much
in a question in which the-whole country
is concerned. Ability to scheme is not
enough; higher and more substantial
accomplishments are demanded.
But Hill, too, has a tariff programme,
and he outlined it in a recent speech.
His is not the programme of the Demo
cratic party, however. It is one of
evasion and cowardice. It is dis
tinctively reactionary, and its tendency
is not clearly to define the tariff issue,
but to confuse it, to embarrass it, and to
put the party on the defensive. It is
ureatly to be regretted that, at a time
when the party throughout the country
is rallying especially to the support of a
free wool bill and a bill reducing tiie
taxes on the clothing of the people, a
politician so influential and conspicuous
as Hill should attempt to prevent tbe
representatives of the party in Congress
from doing what they can to carry out a
policy to which the party stands un
equivocally pledged. Fortunately there
are no indications that the Democrats in
Congress will follow Hill's strange advice
in this matter. The practical unanimity
with which the speech is condemned by
the Democratic press of the country is
evidence of the fact that the party, now
thoroughly aroused to its danger, is not
disposed to tolerate proposals for the
abandonment of its principles. It also
demonstrates that the conscience and
intelligence "f the party is to be trusted.
The Democratic National Committee
meets in Washington to-day to select
tiie time and place of meeting of the
National Convention. Several cities are
actively competing for the honor. It is
asserted that the friends of Senator Hill
are working energetically for New York,
and that Cleveland's friends are advo
cating Detroit.
WE have no hesitation in declaring
our belief that the ideal taxation lies in
the single land tax, laid exclusively on
the rental yalueof land, independent of
improvements.— New York Times.
Tax lG'form in Lir/urne County.
On the question of the order to asses
sors to return properties and land at
their actual value, or as nearly as they
can he properly estimated, the White
Haven Journal applauds the action of
tiie county commissioners. "This or
der," it says, 'has created consternation
among the Wilkes-Barreans, who are
fearful that they may be called upon to
pay their just proportionate share of the
county's expense. The barons of other
towns and townships are also in despair,
for a similar reason. The small towns
and farming villages and districts in the
county have for years past home the
burden of excessive taxation while the
city dwellers have escaped with light
contributions to the county's funds. The
assessors in rural districts have complied
with their oaths of office and made
honest valuations within their districts,
while tiie officials in the more populous
and prosperous districts have evaded
their duties and assessed their valuations
that were ridiculously low. The rule to
return assessments at one-fourth of the
real valuation lias been accurately car
ried out in the country districts, hut in
tiie cities of the county the assessments
| are made at about one-sixteenth of the
actual value."
The Journal then instances a case in
the county seat where land sold at, SIOOO
per foot frontage is assessed at SO7 per
foot. Of course such glaring inaccuracies
are unjust to every taxpayer, and the
fact that the fraud can be detected easily
is because land is visible to the public,
and its real and assessed valuations can
he ascertained without the slightest diffi
culty. That is one of the leading and
soundest arguments in favor of placing
all taxes upon land values, and if asses
sors discriminate in favor of certain land
they are caught at once. Continuing,
tiie Journal says:
"In some of the coal townships lands
that cannot he bought for $5(I(IU an acre
are assessed at a valuation of only S2OO
an acre. It is such outrageous inequali
ties in assessed valuations, and conse
quent taxes, that have kept the rural
communities poor and enabled the more
populous and wealthy ones to prosper.
But, thanks to our present efficient coun
ty commissioners, this unjust discrimina
tion will cease, for under the new in
structions all assessments will be made
at actual values, and tiie rich nabob will
pay his just share of taxes along witli
tiie poor laborer."
\V hether aware of it or not Editor
Feist's article contains considerable
of Henry George's theory of tax re
form. The Journal generally knows what
it is talking about, and its remarks will
be endorsed by every single taxer
in Luzerne County. Under the present
law,which taxes improvements, personal
property, etc., the power of the county
commissioners is limited, but if their in
structions in regard to land and property
valuations are obeyed they w ill do con
siderable in lessening tbe evils of unjust
taxation. That the matter should be
treated so aggressively by our conserva
tive contemporary shows the Journal to
be a wide-awake newspaper, and whether
it becomes a full-fledged exponent of
Georgism or not we welcome its assist
ance in the crusade against "outrageous
inequalities in assessed valuations."
TIIF. underlying principle of the single
tax —that the earth belongs equally to
all, and that the best way to secure sub
stantial justice is to tax the occupant an
amount equal to the yearly value of the ,
land—is sound. — Journal of the Knights
of Labor.
