Mr.. WATTERsON's letter on Mr.. Til
den's healthis not of such a nature ;,s tn
render it capable of a certain interpreta
tion. 1t either has the purpose of keep
ing the eccentric Kentucky editor before
the country or of bringing Mr.. Tilden
into the field as an active candidate for
the presidency next year. If the former
is the motive Mr.. WattersOn will prOba
bly, be justified if the latter is the pur
pose-well, it will change things and
make an unexpected f1utter in politics.
1t is at least gratifying to know that
Mr.. 'Tilden is in good health and that
he proposes to remain long in the laud :,
and make the best of it while here.

KEIFER secured the appointment OF
one of his friends as collector of internal
revenue at Columbus, Ohio-making
the place by the removal of the incum
bent. When the news of this flank
movement came to the ears of Governor
Foster he wondered how such things
could be and he know nothing about
them. So he went down to Washington
to see about it. 1t only took a few hours
to induce the president to withdraw the
commission and send Mr.. Keifer's man
adrift again. 1t is bad enough thai
any party in any state should fall into
the hands of SO Insignificant man as
Foster, but Keifer is so much smaller
that the governors success in checkmat
ing him in his spoils seeking really de-
serves cOmmendatiOn.

THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE IA. 1888
Bribery In New Hampshire.

The Legislature of New Hampshire
has passed a resolution providing for the
investigation of the charges of corrup
tion and bribery in the last election. In
that election Mr.. Hale, the successful
candidate, secured his nomination by
such means that the strong Republican
counties of the state, which before that
had given three thousand majority for his
party, turned against him and gave sub
stantial majorities for his opponent. But
money was SO we'll used in other parts oi
the state that the Objectionable candi
date was saved. From the alacrity with
which the Republican Legislature has
agreed to investigate these charges il
does not seem probable that the new
governor is to find his lot pleasant
one.
That something should be done to
check the crime of bribery is plain. 1t
has grown and spread to such proper
tions that it has come to be considered
one of the necessary elements in politics.
1t is worst, not in the cities and manu-
featuring centres, but in the small
towns, the back districts, far re-
moved from the active world. This
is something unknown in any other sec
tion of the country, the country districts
always being relied upon to neutralize
the corrupt tendencies of towns and
cities. That this disgraceful condition
of affairs can continue is impossible,
and it is we'll that the public mind is to
be aroused on the question before it be
comes still more serious.

BASEBALL,

Opening of the IrOnsides Ground.
BY Saturday the new baseball grounds,
which were leased by the Ironsides base
ball club, will be ready for use. The fence
will be up and the grounds levcled and
otherwise improved, 50 as to make it ono
of the best lots, for the purpose, in the
eastern part Of the town. The first game
will be played on Saturday afternoon. 1t
will bo between the IrOnsdes and the
Franklin ard Marshall college clubs. TITO
prospects are that the game will be close,
exciting and full OF interest. 1t has been
arranged for this day for the reason that
the college boys will soon leave for their
homes, and it is tho wish Of both mines to
have game before college closes. Both
will present strong teams, and the Iron.
sides will appear in brand new suits, from
the cap to tho shoes. The price of admis-
sion to the grounds has been fixed at q
cents, which is the same as in other cities,
and Is cents for children Ladies will be
admitted free. There will undoubtedly be
a large crowd to see the game, and our
citizens who desire to encourage the Iron
sides boys in their efforts to push forward
the sport, should show their appreciation
by patronizing them. The best of order
will be maintained on the grounds, a1,l
officers will be On hand to promptly eject
those who misbehave.

THE exciting issue shall a man be
permitted to marry his deceased wife's
sister," which has agitated English pol
itics for several years, seems to be in Il
fair way Of settlement. The House of
Lords, by the narrow majority of
seven in an unusually large vote, has
ordered to second reading the bill re
pealing the old restriction. The Prince of
Wales and the royal dukes voted in
favor Of the bill, as they have for the
past three years when it has been under
discussion in the Lords. 1t is very un.
usual to find any of these members in
their places ready to vote Oh public
question, but they have shown such an
unusual interest on this question that
gossip has always been busy in trying to
explain it. The only reason advanced
has been that it was desired for the pur-
pose of permitting the grand duke of
Hesse to marry the Princess Beatrice,
the youngest daughter of Queen Victoria
ard sister of his wife, the princess who
died in 1873. If this is the real explana
tion of the royal interest, it has at least
led them in the direction of c0nsentiug
to sensible change in the laws.

THE Japanese at last have their
money, so long held by this country with
out the slightest justice and have over
whelmed the United States minister and
the state department with thanks of the
most elusive order. Yet after nearly
twenty years. use of the money, when it
was of great value to this country, Con-
gress could not be induced to return the
interest it had earned along with the
principal. AS it was taken without
right and retained in the same manner
it does not appear that it is thing TO
expend much thanks on. A good hearty
rebuke administered officially would ap
pear to be about The more useful and
natural method of procedure, and the
American Congress ought to be thankful
if it has escaped this just treatment.

oFERA HOUSE ON FIRE.


Narrow Escape From a Serious Fire.
New BRIGHTON, Pa, February PA fire
broke out in the basement OF the Opera
House block last night a little after mid
night that might have terminated in
very destructive and disastrous conflagra-
ton, had it not been by mere accidental
discovery before it had made much head
way. It originated from the furnace
that is used to heat the OPP
era hall, and when discovered
had burned through into Adam Knolrs
eating saloon, on the first floor. The flames
were spreading rapidly and beginning to
lick up everything of conbustible nature
in the saloon when the alarm was given.
The hose carriage was promptly on the
ground, and fire plug being quite near,
only few moments were required to get
the flames under control and finally ex-
tinguished. Harry Schwoppe, who sleeps
in his drug store adjoining knolrs
saloon, was the first to give the alarm.
Had nothing occurred to keep him up
last night beyond his usual hour for retir-
ing, the probability is that the whole block
would have been in ashes this morning.
The loss is slight but the exact amount
cannot yet be ascertained.
A. G. Rankin's combination for the BEN
eft of the East Liverpool strikers, appeared
before about hundred dollar audience at
the Opera House last night. Although the
audience was not large, we learn that some
three hundred and fifty tickets at so cents
each were sold.

THE STAR ROUTE TRIAL.
Mr.. LpgersoII Concludes His Exanina'
ton OF Rerdell.

tiOn OF RerdeiI.
WASHINGTON, February 27.-Col. Inger-
soil concluded Rerdelrs cross-examination
in the Star route trial this morning.
Witness said the papers stolen from his
desk contained the names, number and
present and prospective pay of each route
operated by Dorsey. One of the columns
was beheaded |. J. B. 33H per cent, and
the figures set down in that column repre-
sented the percentage Of the pay upon the
routes.
Mr.. Ingersoll-What was it for?
Answer-"Iou will have to put your
client on the stand to answer that"
Witness-Did not know, could only infer
what it was for. Never practiced imitat-
ing porsey's signature in KellogSs pres
encs, nor did he boast to that gentleman
that he could sign Dorsey's name so
like the original that it was hard to dis
tinguish the difference. The day after
Vaile testified in the last trial, witness
went to William Lilley Ia lawyer) and told
him he was ready to go on the stand for
the Government and rebut Vaile's testi-
mony. He also notified Dorsey OF his idea.
When witness got out of Jail he went TO
Lilley, who referred him to Woodword.
Witness wrote out statement,
which Woodward considered in.
complete, and promised to see him
at later date, and in the meanwhile wit.
ness was to collect his papers. Lilley told
witness he thought he could get him off il
he went over to the Government, but no
Government officer ever made any such
promises. Witness again met Woodward
in November last at Hartford, Conn, and
made a very full sworn statement. Wood
ward paid his expenses.

QUERY.
Did the senate Violate the Constitution
by Passing q Tariff Bill


WASHINGTON, February 27.-Speaking OF
the Senate's action on the Tariff bill,
prominent Democrat said: while it may
not be technically true that the Senate has
violated the Constitution in passing the
tax bill now on the Speakers table, yet it
clearly disregarded the spirit of the Consti-
tuition. Why, look at the case as it now
stands. The Constitution declares that all
revenue bills shall originate in the House
of Representatives, but that the Senate
may make amendments, as in the case of
other bills. The House passe1 :. ~. ~. ,% :. ,r-
last session entitled A bill to reduce inter
nal revenue taxation. The bill repealed
certain taxes and reduced others, the re-
peal and reduction to take effect the first OF
last July. What is the parliamentary con-
dition of this bill as returned TO the House
last week? Every line of the bill except
the title and the enacting clause has been
inserted by the Senate. All the internal
revenue sections as they now stand are the
Senate's substitutes for the sections as
passed by the House.
Not Line OfThis Bill
after the enacting clause has been consid.
cred by the House. Ii the bill be sent in
lump 10 q conference committee and the
report of that committee be adopted, il
will be the first time in the history of Con-
gress that an entire tariff scheme will have
been enacted into law without having been
considered by the House in Committee OF
the Whole. 1t will thus be passed by
method which has deprived every member
of the House of an opportunity OF offering
q single amendment"
The opinion above expressed is enter
tanned by not few members Of both par
ties, but party reasons will probably pre-
vent active opposition to the action OF the
Senate on constitutional grounds, although
Calkins of Indiana, unless he should change
his purpose, intends to make objection to
the course of the Senate in this matter. II
the entire bill should be sent to a confer
ence committee, the report OF tnat commit
tee will be a curiosity in the records OF
Congress. 1t will cover every section and
paragraph of the bill, embracing ITO pages,
and 2,6$4 lines. The simple reading OF this
report would probably occupy one entire
legislative day.
