A Living Issue.

1t is estimated that the collections
from government employees by the vali-
Gus republican committees will aggre.
gate three millions of dollars. This vast
sum comes out of the pockets of the
people of all parties. Democrats, repub-
licans, independents, green hackers, pro-
hibitionists, all are obliged TO contribute
their share. The poor mans sugar and
salt, the mechanics tools, the far
mer's implements, the merchants
freights, everything in fact on which du.
ties or taxes are laid by the government,
yield their part in the production of this
revenue which is diverted from the pub.
lie treasury to the corrupt uses of the
republican politicians. The fact that
this stupendous electioneering fund can
be raised from the salaries of government
employees by what are called voluntary
contributions" shows that a reduction
OF those salaries to that extent ought TO
be made. If those who hold office can
afford to give four, or six, or twelve per
cent. of their pay to the republican poll.
ticians it will be no hardship for them
to make Uncle Sam gift of it instead.
The platform adopted by the recent
democratic state convention makes as.
sessments of Office holders for political
purposes an issue. The republican state
platform condemns compulsory politi.
cal assessments but evades the plain
question whether the peoples taxes
should be tithed by partisan committees
through voluntary contributions" of
salared officials. The conduct of the
republican state committee in assessing

ed by General Beaver on the aiir.
native side of that question. The
Democratic State ticket represents
the express declaration of the Demo.
cratic platform against this system of
political b!eckmail. The issue between
the Democrats and Stalwarts on this
subject is therefore plain and distinct
1t cannot be evaded or postponed. 1t
must be met in the present canvass and
tried and determined at the ballot box
in November. 1t is embraced in the
general indictment of bossism and the
spoils system on which the popular
judgment is demanded. There can be
no publication of politics until the peo.
pie put their seal OF condemnation upon
this wicked spoilation of the public rev.
enues in the name of party. There can
be no reform of the public service so
long as the pernicious practice of levy
ing political assessments upon public
servants shall continue. Nay. what is
worse, there can be no fair and honest
elections while the public treasury is
made to bolster up fraud and to supply
the bribe,money for the corruption of

cept the challenge of Mr.. Stewart the
Independent Republican nominee, to

A Lie Nailed.

DEMOCRATIC SOLDIER SPEAKS OUT PLAINLY.
A dispatch from the encampment of
the National Guard, at Lewistown, to
the Philadelphia Times, says:
"When Colonel Preston n. Guthrie,
of Pittsburg, commanding the Eigh.
teenth Regiment at Camp Reynolds,
was shown dispatch from Philadelphia
saying it was reported he would vote
for Beaver, his first remark was: 1T is
lie out Of the whole cloth Then he
added why should vote for Beaver?
| am a Democrat and come from a
family of Democrats. Is it likely that
a man who has been Democrat during
the last twenty years would desert his
colors now? And more than all, why
should | vote for Beaver? We have

rage. | am for Pattson, first, last and
all the time. Put that as emphatically
as you can. shall not only vote for
Pattison but shall work for him with
all the power | possess. The whole
story is lie and an insult"
The Times commenting editorially on
this matter, says;
THE emphatic denial by Colonel p.
n. Guthrie, of Pittsburgh, OF the report
that he had declared the purpose TO
vote for General Beaver for Governor,
commits to an early and disAonored
grave one of the most cherished cam
paign stories of the boss managers. lso.
lated from attendant circumstances this
impotent canard would have required
no refutation, for the very ample reason
that its improbability sufficiently &C.
complished that result. But it is known
that General Beaver has been utilizing
the opportunities which the encamp.
ment afforded to work upon his associ-
ates of the National Guard in his own
interest as q candidate, and the boast of
success that was alleged to have attend.
ed his efforts spread q doubt over the
political standing of even so conspicu.
ously jealous Democrat as Colonel
Guthrie. The emphatic disclaimer pub.
lished elsewhere is conclusive on the
subject, however, though it does not
obliterate the fact that General Beavers
effort to prevent the encampment from
the purpose for which it was created
into field for political maneuvering is
the most serious menace against the
perpetuity and usefulness of the Ma.
tional Guard that has thus far been pre-.
sented."

These figures represent the excess of

In the state department at Washing

of the Declaration of independence, is
small, plain unpolished mahogany

that immortal instrument. 1t bears
the following inscription, in the same

he wrote a half a century before, when
at the age of thirty three he was select
ed by Congress to prepare the most i'm.

The Shoe that Pinches.

The success of Robert E. Pattison, as
q practical reformer, is the shoe that
pinches the feet of the Bosses. From
the way it hurts them they must have
corns. They did not enter the cam
paign provided with a defense against
an assault of this kind. No man, be he
boss or otherwise, likes to have his
corns pinched. How they worry over
this line of Democratic attack. When
they read the reform record of Mr..
Pattison, they become almost as furious
as bull when a red flag is Haunted at
him. They can't stand it. 1t would
not be half so bad, did it not carry with
it stern rebuke. After an unob'
structed, and almost tunquestioned, con.
troll of public administration for twenty
years, they have not single reform to
present to the people. 1t is too much
to bear, when they realize that the great
reformer of the day is Democrat, and
young man at that. Let us look at
his record it is the incest kind of read
ing for the taxpayers. Since Mr.. Patti
son has been in the controllers Office
and put there by the joint votes of
Democrats and Republicans, mind that,
ye bosses and political machinists-his
efficient services have promoted the
cause of municipal reform and effected:
1St Il steady reduction Qfhe city deJt
Cd. 4 reduction in tie department &c.
penSeS.
Sd. Il reduction efthe tarrate.
This is great record record few
men can show. Few old, experienced,
administrators of the public service can
show such well-doing but when it be-
longs to young man, it is worthy of all
acceptation.
Why are the Bosses so silent over
Beavers reform record? Has he any?
Unfortunately he has q record, and the
record is not good one. AS president
of the board of trustees of the Penn
sylvania Agricultural college, lie had
every opportunity to institute reform in
that institution-but he did not lie
shut eyes and ears to complaints, and
let the institution be run along in the
same old rut About half a million of
dollars have been squandered, and
worse than nothing accomplished. If
Beaver could not introduce reforms into
an agricultural college, how can he do
it in the State government? There is
only one safe course to pursue-elect
PAttison governor. His record is known;
he is no pretender he gets right down
to the hard. pan of true reform, 10y saw
ing money to the people. This is the
way to do it, and this is the way it will
continue when Pattison becomes COVER
nor. He has been stopping leaks
through mouse holes ia the controllers
office, but he will find rat holes at Har.
risburg. His reform stopper will close
them all up. The people have been
fed so long on spread eagle promises
they are disgusted they want more
substantial food, which theyJgill get in
Pattison. He was nominated because
of the splendid record he had already
made, and not because of promises.
His past is his guarantee for the future.
