The Tariff Commission IL still assid-
uously engaged in it, artluous duty
Of solving the problem Of "How not
to to dol It," Notwithstanding oil the
fun which Is poked At its proceedings
1t Is said to be body Of immense dig
nifty, and its sessions conducted in .
manner worthy the magnitude Of .
mighty nation. The New York
Ercning POst speaking Of 1t says !:
Professionally the committee goes in
to executive session. marching with
much dignity into . private room {;
though what hctiy with no execu-
tive powers can do In executive ses-
sion IL mystery. Still, what earth.
y difference can it make to any one
what the commission Is doing or not
doing In executive or Sny other ses-
sion, 90 long ~ 1t serves the purpose
for which It Was created, namely the
indefinite postponement Of the tariff
revision by Congress. 1t affords .
number Of obscure politicians rare
chance to see the country and spend
pleasant summer vacation at the cx-
pense Of the tax-paying citizen. Be-
sides this, 1t gives lucrative employ
nent to q half dozen patriots who
would otherwise swelter ut the more
irkson,e task Of . conlining counting
room. There must be secretary to
present the pal ems which are sent in;
then q stcnographcr who keeps the
records, then IN assistant to do some
thing or ether not definitely known,
and four able-bo(lied clerks to keep
eacll other company. Altogether 1t
IL l,oiy worthy Of its mission."

PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS.

A Philadelphia dispatch under q
recent date says there II u plan on
f0Ot, with which HOyt IL in sympa-
thy, to withdraw Beaver and nut up
new ticket which the independents
can support. The idea Is to have the
Independent ticket withdrawn, to
throw bon Cameron overheard and
make = new ticket in which his
wishes shall be entirely ignored.
both Hoyt and Quay are secretly re-
jOicing ut the sure defeat of he
- iDsuring the early downfall Of
Cameron, and although they cannet
60 into the movement actively, they
personally favor the new ticket. Yet
there II not one chance In bundled
that anything can he done. There
- no power to decapitate Beaver to
begin with, ~ Beaver said no later
than yesterday that he was bound to
fight it out. having been duly nOlni-
mated, and that he would not with.
draw under any circumstances.
Even Il both tickets could be taken
down tlsele would not he time for .
new convention; and even II q new
ticket were put up 1t could not be
elected, for rather than be thrown
overheard Cameron would throw his
influence to the Democrats and elect
P;sttison. The fight stands in lust
this way: Cameron has made Besyer
his personal candidate, and has made
the issue ON him. His IL . life and
death struggle. He will keep
Beaver In the field. and the
thousands of dollars that have been
already collected will he used lay.
ishly. lie will thus stand at the
helm, and sink orswim with the ship.
With PattisOn elected, he would still
retain . portion Of the Republican
party. With Beaver out Of the way.
he would be without any followers
whatever. He prefers, therefore, to
take his chances with Beaver, aud
will defeat any efforts to make u new
ticket. Therefore, 1t does not seem
possible there can lie . new ticket.
Mr.. Mckee, the Independent Chair
man, says the independents are sat-
isIted with the situation, ard that no
short Of an unconditiOn-
al surrender will be listened to. II
the StaIwarts want to elect q Repul,-
litsn ticket, thew must vote for Slew
art. The campaign begins In earnest
this week. Heretofore Beaver has
he'd It oil his own way, and has been
speaking all over the State. Now he
must contend with Stewart and Pat.
ltson. There was IN important meet
Ing recently Of leading republicans for
The purpose Of taking steps to secure
the withdrawal Of both Beaver and
Stewart, and the selection Of candi-
late for Governor Of both factions.
Among those present were John

wfll be formulated and addressed to

So far It seems the Tariff Commis-
sion has heard those only who de-
sire the tariff unmolested on goods
they represent, or who plead foran in
creased protective tariff: 1.-THE coun-
sels Of these interested parties prevail
the revision Of the tariff will be
made, not in the interest Of the con-
summing but In that Of the producing
class. 1t would be an agreeable
change to hear from some one who
advocates lower tariff upon goods
which enter largely in the domestic
economy Of the people.
