The Pai.onsd chelice.

When the democrats" speak of the clcmency and
moderation Of General Taylor as ground of hope
that but few OF their party will be ousted from the
Offices now held by them they utter in the strongest
tone condemnation Of their own practices and pro-
LESSONS In years past. It'll undeniable TINT within
the last twenty years, thousands fWhigs have been
turned out Of Office merely for being Wings. This
Is true any part Of the political history of the
country for that period And II IL just true, that
the turnlngs out have been excused justified, yea
glorifed by 1.-THE party its presses, Its Congress
and Legislative orators Its stump speakers, its vii
lage haranguers II is our administration, they
would say, VIC placed il In power. are the major
ity and Of course all the good Offices, all the emoln
ments, should be ours. Moreover, said they, II Ia
essential to the and snety Of the adminisrn
ton that all the officers of the Government should
coincide with the administration In political sent
menf. IL not this correct representation Of dem
ocraiic'' saynesi most assuredy II Is, the greater
part Of our reiders are well aware. We have con
demned and do condemn the principle Of turning
man out Of Office for other assgnable reason than
that his politics are not the the Presidents
We hold II TO be wrong for any administration
to conform 10. STILL We cannot but mark the glar.
Ing inc consistency of those ''democras who advance
the ldea that II would be shocking prescription and

Secretary Meredith,

We remarked the other day that II was no evil.
dence against a mans qualifications for cabinet
appointment, that he had been generally in private
life. We think II more than probable that, with
some half dozen exceptions the first men Of the
country are in private life. Such Is certainly the
case in some Of the principal STATES Of The Union.
Our readers can see how this may well be so, by
looking over the bar OF Virginia, or even OF This
city, and selecting In their mind some great man,
who ye If made cabinet minister, would In other
parts of the Union be met with the objection that she
Is an unknown man. Al this moment, several
such persons are IN our mind'a eye, whose inieec-
tua stature Is gigantic bnt who unknown 10 the
Union, because they have never planted their feet
upon national arena for though pyramids are
pyramids In wales" they cannot command as gen
eral observation and wonder as II "placed on Alps"
General Taylor has introduced Into his system of
selection something Of the plan Of Napoleon, 10
taking men from the ranks, and raising them
10 responsible posts which the sagacity Of the
Emperor had perceived, even under their plain
garbs their competency TO fl. Most Of them were
comparatively unknown men," when called by
Napoleon 10 the head Of armies yet their subsequent
career more than justified the profound knowledge
Of character which had dictated their selection, and
cast a sunshine Of glory upon their own names and
ihat Of France which will never fade from the mem
oricz Of men. --Rich Rspublican.

Nexvspnper Cnse.

The following case, decided In the Supreme Court
at Bristol, Is reported In the Bristol Ph9nix.--
jasper Harding va Henry D'Wolf notion Of as
sumpst for the recovery of nine years subscription
to the Pennsylvania inqurer newspaper published
at Philadelphia.
Ii was proved on The parl of the plaintiff that the
Of the defendant was on his subscription books
from 1885 10 1915 that the paper regularly en-
closed IN wrapper directed TO the defendant and de-
posted in the Post Office In that city. Bills for the
paper had also been forwarded. j.
The defendant denied ever having ordered the
paper.
The Court ruled that the regular mailing OF a
newspaper for length of time was at least prima
iacie evidence Of It's reception, and that receiving
paper for certain time, and not ordefing the same
discontinued was sufficient to hold person liable
for the subscription price, Notwithstanding he may
never have ordered the paper sent.

THE COAL TRADE.

The Union is industriousy engaged, in
trying to make it appear, that the distress in
the coal region Of Pennsylvania, during the
year is4s, was owing to the excess in the
production of the mineral over its consump-
ton, and not to the competition of the foreign
article. II boastfully quotes figures in proof Of
its position, but the alleged increase in the pro-
dnction over the consumption, was not large
enough to reduce the prices to the standard
which proved SO ruinous to the miners. II has
averaged annually since ls4o thirteen per
cent. uponthe production the previous year,
not more than one halfthe average annual in
crease between 1s4l and ls45. With
twenty per cent. average annual increase
in the production under the tariff act Of 1912
the miners obtained remunerating prices for
their products, while with thirteen per cent
average annual increase in the production I'M
der the tariff Of 1886, they have experienced
a ruinous reverse in this branch Of industry
The reason is obvious. Under the tariff
act of lS42 foreign coal was taxed out Of the
market, while the tariff act Of 1916 taxed il
into the market. The miners could not COM
pete with the pauper labor Of the English
pits. No sophistry Of the friends of the tar
III Of 1886 can do away with these facts
The miners Of Pennsylvania can never -four
ish, until the tax upon ton Of foreign coal,
shall be made equal to the difference between
the price Of American and English labor
employed in mining ton Of the mineral, and
to the cost Of transporting the same across
sea. Such was the verdict Of the Pennsyl-
wanna miners at the last Congressional cleo
ton in that State. The principle is sound
and should be extended to every branch Of
industry. 1t will be for the next Congress
to decide upon the question Of adopting it or
not.
