Trimmer Lake Township Surveyor, James Crockett Ross Township Form of the Ballot Changed. Secretary of the Commonwealth William F. Harrity, acting upon the advice of Attorney General Ilensel, has decided to change the form of the offi cial ballot to bo used in the November election. The ballot as originally pre pared, was in the form of straight party tickets. That is, all of the candidates of the Republican party were in one column with the title of the party at the top of the column. The Democratic ticket was in another column, and the Prohibition ticket in a third column. Across the top of the ballot instructions were printed to the effect that one cross mark (x) opposite the party name would stand as a vote for all of the candidates of that party. That is the way the ballot stood until General Ueeder, of the Republican state committee, raised the question of the legality of its form. He contended that the law required all candidates to be grouped as presented in the several cer tificates of nomination under the designa tion of the office with the political ap pellation at the head of each group. He also argued that the cross mark (x) against the party name at the top of the ticket did not vote the entire ticket, hut only the candidates in that particular group, which in the case of the present ballot would be the electors. After reflecting upon the objections raised by General Reeder, Attorney General Ilensel and Secretary Harrity agreed that in his interpretation was correct and the form of the ballot will lie changed accordingly. The new form of the ballot will have the candidates arranged in groups as presented in the certificates of nomination, with the party name at tho head of each group. The first group of candidates on the Republi can ticket will he the presidential elec tors, the judge of the supreme court and and the two congressmen-at-large. One cross mark (x) opposite the party name at the head of the group, will vote the entire group. Under the electors will come the condidates for county officers in a group by themselves, the state sen ate in a group, the congressmen and the representatives. Ily the new arrangement it will re quire a cross mark against the party name at the head of each group to vote for the candidates in that group. This will require the voter to give more atten tion to his ballot and to do more mark ing than he would been required to do under the original form. It also pre vents a man from making a single cross mark at the head of the ticket to vote the entire ticket. All of the Republican candidates will still he printed in one column and the Democrats in another column. The Prohibitionists, under the decision of Secretary Harrity, will not have the party name printed over their candi dates. That party having failed to secure 3 per cent, of tho highest vote at the last election, and can only get its candi dates on the ballot by nomination papers, and the law states that such nominations shull he arranged under the simple designation of the office in alphabetical order, according to their surnames. The blank spaces will still left in the last column of the ballot, the attorney general having decided that it would not invalidate the ballot to place them there. IT is certainly time to call a halt in the management of a corporation that insists in following such coercive meth ods as arc now being used by the Read ing toward its employes. Leaving aside all sentiment and the question whether or not the combine is legal, it is hard to understand how any person who loves fair play can support McLeod in the present difficulty with the railroaders. It is un-American to compel men to join the company's relief association and to give up their own unions. None but law-defiers like the Reading officials would demand it, and although a com promise has been reached, the men will have to watch every move of their su periors. Tuesday's conference was no guarantee that the prospects of trouble Jiave been averted. "British Free Trade" Mongers. On returning from Europe ex-Adjutant General Hastings announced as the most important result of his observations abroad that all the English newspapers are in favor of Cleveland's election. This indicates that General Hastings has been quite assiduous in his reading of English newspapers, and that those journals evince much discernment in their comments upon politics on this side of the ocean, lie might have said the same thing witlx quite as much truth of the Irish newspapers. On the other hand, during the recent electoral contest in England tho newspapers of this country generally expressed themselves in favor of Gladstone; and there is no doubt that they fairly reflected Ameri can sentiment. The conclusion is that on both sides of the water the news papers, as well as the people, are able to discriminate quite clearly upon questions of foreign politics in which their in terests and partisan prejudices do not obscure their judgments. There is no mistaking the object < f partisans of the type of General Hastings in representing free trade England as favorable to the election of Cleveland. It is hoped by this appeal to antipathy of race to alienate our Irish fellow citizens from the Democratic party. This partisan device lias been brought into requisition at nearly every presi dential election for fifty years; but its success has never been such as to war rant its employment. The appeal to race hatred takes this shape : The Eng lish people maintain free trade; the Irish detest the English. Therefore, Ameri can citizens of Irish origin will vote against Cleveland because lie is opposed to the McKinley act and favors, in place of it, a substantial reform of the tariff. So clumsy a partisan method, instead of attracting the quick-witted people to whom it is applied, is calculated only to offend and repel them. It impudently assumes that our Irish-born fellow citizens are altogether indifferent to the welfare of their adopted country, as in volved in an important question of politi cal economy, and are governed, not by their opinion of the merits or demerits of the McKinley tariff, but by tlieir hatred of England. According to this amusingly stupid view, the Irish-Ameri cans are influenced in their political action solely by an inborn hatred of everything that is English, including free trade, and that the party which can most effectually play upon this race hatred will "hag" the Irish vote. When the ballot boxes shall have been emp tied in November the demagogues who make this absurd calculation will find that they have reckoned without their guest. 1 If a question which exclusively con cerns tliis country could be influenced by foreign interests and opinions the "British free trade" mongers put their transatlantic argument on too narrow a ground. The woolen and linen manu facturers and lace makers of Ireland are quite as much affected by the McKinley tariff as are the cotton spinners and iron workers of England. The Irish Nationalists are as much opposed to protection as are the English Liberals or English Tories. Justin McCarthy, tho leader of the Nationalists, is as strenuous an advocate of the principles of free trade as is Gladstone, and much more so than Salisbury, the foremost enemy of Home Rule. From Grattan and Daniel O'Connell down to Michael Davitt, nearly all Irish patriots have been advocates of free trade. There would he as much sense, then, in ap pealing to the prejudice of English-born American citizens against the Irish free traders as in appealing to citizens of Irish birth against the British free traders. But w hat the English, French or Rus sians may think or say about the Demo cratic tariff programme is a matter of supreme indifference. The demagogues 1 who seek to bring foreign prejudices and race hatreda to hear upon the de cision of such a question only betray the wretched power of tlieir own argument. > They dare not appeal frankly to the in ' telligence of the American people in be half of tlieir policy of spoliation; and in order to becloud the issue they | 5 drag into the foreground of conflict Old I \\ orld antipathies that are dying away I 1 even in their native homes. Happily, j 1 this campaign lias progressed too far, ! the movement for tariff reform has be-! 1 come too popular, for the Buccess of such devices of shallow demagogy. The sclf -1 reliant and self-respecting American ! Democracy are making this campaign against tariff spoliation without giving ' themselves the least concern about for eign opinion on the subject.—PhUa. Jlecord, I Tiie Republican organs are not prating - i very much now about Hill's remarkable -1 silence. They were building great e j hopes upon what they termed his disap r I pointment and buoyed up the courage o; of their followers with reports of how s Hill and his friends would knife Cleve e land. This is all changed now, and the i. j campaign liars must seek some other ii field to supply themselves with material 0 { for their flimsy yarns. Hill will open II the New York campaign at the Brooklyn s Academy of Music on Monday evening, -1 and has promised to take for his subject 1 the issues of the presidential contest. - j Consequently there is trouble and wail i ing in the Republican newspaper offices. 1 Advertise in the Tkibun;. PROTECTION IN PRACTICE. An Incontrovertible Statement Marie by a Technical Mngaxinc. The Engineering ami Mining Journal gives an exceedingly valuable illustra tion of the manner in which a protect ive tariff raises its beneficiaries above the operations of the natural law of trade. The illustration concerns steel rails, which are now $4 a ton higher than they were in 1885, although the cost of pro duction and the tariff tax are less and the demand is slight. The command of the market by reason of the tariff on rails and the ownership of the Bessemer patents has enabled tho rail makers to fix arbitrarily the price of their jiwduots. The American manufacturers make much of the fact that improved ma chinery has greatly increased their out put, and The Jouraul estimates that the cost of producing steel rails, when the manufacturer makes his own pig, can not exceed S2O a ton. In 1885 steel rails sold at $26 a ton, and the cost of Besse mer pig alone was sl6. At SBO a ton the profits on the annual output of steel rails is necessarily between $10,000,000 and $12,000,000. That the protective tariff gives this enormous dividend to the makers, who instead of increasing wages are trying to cut them down, is shown by an ex amination of English prices. In May, 1892, English rails sold for $10.44. Tho duty on this—slß.44 —would make their price $82.88, not counting freight and insurance. It is clear therefore that SBO is the price at which the English rails can be kept out. While tho Eng lish price has fallen since 1885 from $28.17 a ton to $19.44, tho price of Eng lish pig has risen from $10.09 a ton to sl2?is. In other words, tho English maker pays $1 .43 more for his pig and gets $8.73 less for his rails. At the same time, whilo the price of American rails advanced from $26 to S3O a ton, the price of American pig fell from sl7 to sl4 a ton, so that tho American maker paid $3 less for his pig and got $1 more for his product This gain ho keeps for himself.—New York World. WHAT THE FORCE BILL MEANS. The Timely Warning of a Stanch Demo cratic Journal. The Lodge force bill passed by tho He publican house of representatives in the Reed congress two years ago, and prac tically indorsed by the Republican party in its national convention at Minneapo lis, is a long and in places a tedious doc ument It was carefully drawn with the purpose of muddling the unprofes sional reader and of beclouding in a sea of cuttlefish obscurity some of its most dangerous and revolutionary provisions. But a casual reading reveals it as an insidious attempt to subvert the consti tution of the United States and to sub stitute government by federal returning boards for free representative govern ment of and by the people. Even if its i other provisions were honest—which they are not—its openly avowed purpose of takiug control of congressional elec tions out of the hands of officers chosen by the people of the severul states and vesting it in judges appointed by tho president would suffice to damn its au thors to everlasting infamy as traitors to tho American system of government. —St. Louis Republic. Was TIIIH Collateral Neputlm? President Harrison has vetoed the bill for the relief of William McGarrahan. Naturally. McGarrahan is i>oor and the men who are operating the valuable mines to which McGarrahan lays claim are rich. And one of these, too. is Pacific Railroad Magnate D. O. Mills, father-in-law to Whitelaw Reid, who is President Harrison's present running mate. Mr. Harrison will have a hard job in explaining away this veto. The bill to which he refused his signature merely provided for roferring McGar rahan's case to tho court of claims, where it could bo acted upon judicially and the right and tho law and the equity in tho matter bo determined. President Harrison's veto means sknply that Mc- Garrahan is deprived of the right to be heard in the courts. But then McGar rahan is poor, and D. O. Mills is in the habit of contributing liberally to the Ropublicau campaign fund.—lndianap olis Sentinel. The Effect of Harritioii's ftpeechen. The situation in Indiana is very un satisfactory to the Republicans this yoar, and they will make extraordinary efforts to carry that state. Harrison's plurality in 1888 was only 2,848. A change of 1,200 votes would have given its electoral vote to Cleveland. Two years later the Democratic candidate for secretary of state beat his Repub lican opponent by 19,579. That was in i the "tidal wave" following the passage 1 of the McKinley bill and President Har | rison's force bill scheme, and his speech ifying tour throngK the middle and I western states.—Charleston News and Courier. Corrupters of Youth. Cicero in the Roman senate branded Catiline as the corrupter of youth. Tl*e Dudleys and Quays of the Republican party are the Catilines, the corrupters of youth; the exponents of the purty which inaugurated the corrupt use of money in elections, and which founds ita hope of success on the amount oI [ money it can raise from favored and protected classes. Do they recall the | fate of Catiline and his followers?— Cleveland Plain Dealer. A Memorable Meeting. The moro the, Democrats of New York become acquainted with their vico pres idential candidate the better they liki him. He deservos their earnest and un deviating support, and he is certain t< receive it The meeting l>otween Gen eral Stevenson and Mr. Cleveland wai an occasion of real Democratic felicity, The welcome of both by the Democracj of New York was an event meinorabh I In the annals of politics.—Brooklyr i Eagle. COCKRAN ON CLEVELAND. ' Tlio Tammany Orator Says New York State Is Solid. I The subjoined letter from the Hon. W. Bourke Cockran voices the senti ment of New York Democrats so admi rably that it is given for publication by Mr. Howry as an encouragement to tho cause everywhere. It was written in response to an inquiry as to how the nomination of Mr. Cleveland was re ceived in New York, accompanied with ; the statement that while tho writer, as an adherent of Cleveland's nomination, had heard Mr. Cockran's plea at Chicago without being convinced, nevertheless 1 we wore all iutorested in tho stand the Tammany and othor organizations in that state would tako now that the nomination had been made, and that no one was so well qualitiod to toll the friends of Cleveland in the south as the Tammany orator. The lettor of Bourke Cockran is characteristic of the Tam many leader, and shows that the New York Democrats are united in fact: NEW YOUR, July <&. MY DEAR SIR—I have received your lettor of the 10th Inst., and I bog to assure you that the delay in acknowledging It was caused by my absence from home. I havo no hesitation in expressing my Arm conviction that tho nomination of Mr. Cleve land has been received throughout the state in a spirit of entire loyalty. Tho whole party, without a single dissent, has indorsed the nomination, and wo who opposed it iu the con vention are determined to labor with especial vigor to achieve success at tho polls. 1 fee) absolutely confident that tho state of New York will show better results ou election day than any other of tho doubtful states. It will afford mo great pleasure to renew oui acquaintance, and I am very truly yours, W. BOL'HKK COCKRAN. To Charles B. Ilowry, Esq., Oxford, Miss. —Jackson (Miss.) Ledger. They Uato to Face It. Many Republicans do not fancy hav ing to face the force bill as one of the issues of the campaign. They know that it loses them votes, but a majority of that party is irrevocably pledged to tho enactment of such a law as soon as it has the power, so the sensible majori ty must choose between voting the Democratic ticket and swallowing the force bill.—Yonkers (N. Y.) Gazette. They Frighten Only Themselves. When Democratic pajiers say that tho high tariff has undoubtedly "protected" Carnegie and his partners but question its blessings for othor people, Repub lican organs accuse them of defending lawlessness and violence, justifying murder and encouraging attacks upon persons and property. But those more or less esteemed contemporaries frighten only themselves.—Buffalo Courier. Don't Heed the Fat Protectlonist. When you hear a fat protectionist howling that "free trade will ruin the country," remembor that he is making money by the special privileges of pro tection, and that under free trade no man will have special privileges of that sort. Then you can easily decide which side makes the unselfish arguments.— La Crosse (Wis.) Chronicle. A Specious Whine. Raurn attempts to vindicate his con duct of the pension bureau on the ground that the office expenses have been less under his than under previous administrations. Bank cushiers who havo made away with tho assets of the bank may find an admirable suggestion for defense in this ingenious statement —St. Louis Post-Dispatch. 1 The CatiHe of High Taxation. The principal complaint of fanners is 3 high taxation. High taxation is caused 3 indirectly by the protective tariff. The I Republican platform favors the high 3 tariff, tho Democratic platform de , nounces it and pledges the party to 3 regulate it, and tho third party platform ; is silent on the subject.—Danville (Va.) 1 Register. Republican Desperation. The desperation of the Republicans is indicated by their attempts to minimize \ the importance of the force bill issue. ' They have reason to fear its introduc j. tion into the canvass and will leave no stono unturned to reliove their party of 3 a burden it is in no condition to sustain. —Pensacola (Fla.) News.

There is no such thing as a federal election. Some of our Republican friends will look npon this statement as audacious. After they have had time to recover from the swoon into which it has undoubtedly thrown them we may give elucidation to the proposition in detail. For the present it is sufficient to say that the people of a state choose presidential electors and representatives in congress in their capacity us citizens of the state. They are not creatures of federal authority. They creato and limit the federal power.—Cincinnati En quirer. The l)le(uitet) tieiig. One of tho most remarkable features of the approaching campaign will be the efforts which Harrison will make to catch the independent vote. It is re ported that Quay, Dudley, Piatt and the whole tribe of working politicians have already taken additional offense from tho part which the president has al ready undertaken to play with a view to diverting this vote from Cleveland in tho November election. Mr. Clarkson has openly criticised the president and condemned him for the misapprehension under which he is laboring.—Richmond Times. Hleedlng tho People. Where is there one industry in lowa that is protected if we except our linseed oil mill, and this pays a dividend upon a capital just three times as large as every plant in the United States cost? Yet lowa pays out $20,000,000 per an num, or nearly twenty dollars per an num for overy man, woman and child in the state, to "protect" a lot of monop olies and trusts whose owners are be coming multimillionaires by bleeding the people under a process that was dis covered and is fostered by tho Repub lican party.—Burlington (la.) Gazette. A Pertinent Query. The proposition to remedy the ineffi ciency of the government by imposing on it great and untried duties, lying out- Bideof what Americans have been taught to believe its proper province, recalls tho pregnant inquiry of a distinguished statesmen, "Shall we reform a spend thrift by putting money in his pocket?" The true remedy lies in the othor direc tion.—Louisville Courier-Journal. A Fundamental Democratic Principle. We cannot all be successful in our in dividual pol'tical aspirations, but we can all be successful as Democrats in the success of the Democratic ticket. That is tho only point we have to consider now. It is a fundamental Democratic principle to abide by the will of the ma jority, and that is what every Democrat, who is worthy of the name, will do.— Wheeling Register. What the Force Ittll Would 1>. A force bill would bring back sub stantially the same state of affuirs as ex isted during the reconstruction days, and southern industrial development would be checked and thrown back. Bo a conservative and encrgetio representa tive of the yonnger generation of suc cessful men argues with joint and force. —Scranton (Pa.) Times. llenny Favors the Force 11111. In his messages to congress we have in black and white President Harrison's declarations in favor of a force bill. He urged this measure upon congress. If every Republican journal in the country should repudiate the force bill the Re publican candidate must still be judged by his own official record.—Rochester (N. Y.) Herald. An Absurd Project. The absurdity of the Republican proj ect to tax ourselves rich is to be shown by the Democracy in the coming cam paign. In every contested state and in every congressional district the impossi bility of lifting ourselves by our finan cial boot straps will be pointed out.— Buffalo Times. Harrison, the Door Slammer. Harrison iB determined to run the campaign himself. He slammed the door of the White House in the faces of Quay and Dudley. He'll slam it behind himself this time.—Elmira (N. Y.) Ga zette.
