Possibly tho pettiest act of the present legislature is tho law just past and ap proved to impose a tax of three cents a day on all employed unnaturalized for eigners in Pennsylvania. Resides being an extremely mean expression of hostility to foreigners, the act is an attack upon thrift and a penalty upon honest labor. It is estimated by the advocates of this tax that it will yield a revenue of $1,000,- 000, or quite as much as was anticipated ! from the tax on tho direct inheritances from the wealthy. Whilst this estimate is an unconscious tribute to the industry of the foreign-born inhabitants of Penn sylvania who have not yet become natur alized, it is grossly absurd. To obtain the estimated amount of revenue from tliis tax it would require a little more than 100,000 unnaturalized foreigners to work 300 days in the year. Although | the census makes no return of natural- ! ized and unnaturalized Inhabitants of j foreign birth, it is not probable that the ! half of 100,000 unnaturalized foreigners ! are engaged in a daily labor upon which this tax could be imposed and collected. Nor is it possible that the half of this half work anything like 300 days in the year. Tho average of tho yearly labor in the mines and mills in which unnat uralized foreigners are employed for tho most part is considerably below this fig ure. In the mines it hardly amounts to the half of three hundred days in the year. Instead of $1,000,000 of revenue from this tax upon labor, it is not likely to yield a twentieth part of the sum, with the utmost vigilance in nosing out for eign-born laborers who have not taken out naturalization papers. Few employ ers will busy themselves to collect so odious a tax: and of the few who shall do so some w ill be very apt to forget to return the money to the state treasury. Apart from the meanness of the thing, ! the revenue to be obtained from It will j not pay the cost of collection. I Hut aside from the precarious revenue, what is tho object of this hateful taxa j tion? It is for the purpose of forcing i unnaturalized foreigners to become citi j zons, and thus to bring a greater pres sure of foreign ignorance to bear upon j the ballot-box in Pennsylvania? Whilst : the Republicans in congress busy them i selves with immigration laws to exclude | illiterate foreigners on the ground of I their unfitness for citizenship, the Re publicans of the Pennsylvania legisla | t.ure force this same class of foreigners J into citizenship by imposing a tax on | their daily labor. It is difficult to recoi - I cilc such a conflict in legislation by the j same party on any reasonable theory, I The Republicans of Pennsylvania inani ; festly have none of the apprehensions of j their brethren elsewhere concerning the j evil political effects of foreign illiteracy | or they would not <iek to tax ignorant | foreign-born inhabitantsintocitizcnship, ! Are there not enough "assisted" Itepub | llcan voters in this state, and is tho tax j designed for the purpose of adding a few thousand more with a view to future contingencies? In whatever light this tax may be placed, it is a most contemp tible and repulsive measure, entirely worthy of the legislative body from which it lias emanated. Tho Philadelphia/'m* announces that Senator Quay lias ordered tin? state legis lature to double the retail liquor license, in boroughs, townships and unclassified cities, to help produce sufficient revenue for the state. If this is true, Freeland dealers will have to pay S3OO a year for tho privilege, of which $l5O will go to the state. Children Cry for Pitcher'# Castoria. NEWS OF THE WEEK. Wednesday, .June 10.

Washington, June 22, 1807. The sugar trust is playing a shrewd tariff game to get what it wants while protending to the contrary, and it is bound to win. The original Dingley sugar schedule, which giyes tho trust a i increase of 4 cents on each hundred pounds over what is now received on ninety-six degree sugar, is all the trust expected to get from the beginning. In the first senate schedule, the increase was made 0 cents, and in the schedule which was last week adopted by the senate, the increase was put at 10 cents a hundred pounds. When the bill goes ti conference, the house will Insist upon its sugar schedule being adopted with the chances in favor of succeed ing. Then it will be announced that a great flourish of trumpets by Republi cans that the sugar trust lias been knocked out, while tho members of tl c trust will chuckle over having got as i much as they expected to get, besides i having made a lot of money by speculat- | ing in sugar stock while the several schedules wore pending. That's tho game. It will probably be the middle of July or later, before the country is allowed to learn officially what the McKlnley Cuban policy is to be, as it Is now stated that the new policy is to bo inaugurated by negotiations to be opened by General Stewart L. Woodford, the new minister to Spain, as soon as lie arrives at Mad rid, and ho does not expect to start until ; after the first of July. If there is any triitji in the current talk, Mr. McKin ley's policy will bo more popular in Spain than Cuba. ! Senator Morgan continues to take an j occasional shot at Czar Reed's idlers. Ills latest was a pointed reference to a "logis- I j latlvo body that used to sit at the nation- ! al capitol, about 200 feet from us." Ho j added that the members of this body j were now men of leisure, meeting only ; twice a wook, in accordance with a j rule of their own adoption and in de i finance of tho constitution. i F. Wolff, president of an iron ship | building company, at Portland, Oregon, I who is now in Washington, says of the J political situation in his section: "If an election were held now for president, the whole Pacific slope would vote for Bryan over any man the Republicans could name. It was a hard struggle to hold Orogion in line last year, but today J it would be impossible." I There was some talk of a caucus of Democratic senators to adopt a resolu ! tion to oppose ratification of tho treaty for the annexation of Hawaii, hut so many Democratic senators have said that they would not be bound by any caucus, because they intend voting for the treaty, that the idea has been aban j do ued.
