Pattison's Victory.

The supreme court Of the state has
sus tained the decision Of the lower
court in the contest for the controller.
ship of Philadelphia. Thus the legal
position taken by Governor Pattison
in the appointment of Mr.. Page has
been completely and thoroughly vindi-
Gated.
1t will be remembered that the re-
publicans of the senate were at first
disposed to resist the confirmation of
Mr.. Page on the ground that the Gov
ernor had no authority to make an ap-
pointm ent. Immediately the anti
demo cratic press began to sneer at
what they denominated the governors
''mistake." But lie laughs best who
laughs last.
The fact Is that the opposition to Mr..
Page came from clique Of selcseeking
politicians who were not suited by that
gentleman's reform record. They pre-
ferred controller who would have
been more easily moulded to their pur-
poses. 1t is doubtful if the matter
would ever have reached the courts if
some one acceptable to those political
jobbers had received the appointment.
Governor Pattlson has done his
whole duty in this matter, and has done
it wisely and well. He knew his
grounl from the beginning and held it
firmly and unfiiuchingly. The "mis.
take" was not his but that OF the
scheming clique whish opposed him.
The outcome is victory for the cause
of honest government represented by an
honest governor.

Mr.. Kenncdy's bill requiring a

their taxes to be posted in conspi-

enforced, reduce fraudulent voting

Rev. j. j. Hamilton a Presby-
terian minister ot.Pcrry county, and
others, sent a petition to the legisla-
ture lavoring the adoption Of the
whipping post in this state for the
punishment of certain crimes. the
document sets forth that crimes OF
various grades arc committed and
repeated and the public gencr ally
are made to suffer by reason of OK
pcnses incurred at these trials. 1t
argues that if the individual who
commits crime should be made to
suffer personal corporeal punishment
the whipping post would meet the re-
quirements and the crime would not
be likely to be repeated, while the
community would be saved the eX-
pense of supporting prisoners.

SOME politicians and newspapers, re-
marks the Altoona Trib,me, are sneer-
ing at the effort now being made to Sc.
cure constitutional prohibition OF the
liquor traffic in this state, on the ground
that the only people who are interest
ing themselves in the matter are few
fanatical political prohibitionists. That
is just where they are mistaken. There
are scores of men in this country who
reYer voted for a prohibitioniSt in their
lives who are intensely interested in
the success of this amendment. There
are scores of others who patronize the
rumshnps and who would naturally be
supposed to be on the side Of the saloon
keepers who wiz cast a ballot for legal
prohibition if given the opportunity.
We do not say this without knowledge.
We have it from the men themselves.

COMPETING WITH UNCLE SAM.

The competition which Uncle sam is
euCOuntering in New York IN the mail
business, by the private delivery sys.
tenn, suggests thatthe Government is not
doing all that it could DO and ought 10
do in the mater of local mail facilities
The statement is that these private
enterprises have been handling an av-
erage of 10000 letters daily, and the
business was assuming such proportions
as to endanger Uncle Sam being super
seeded in the postal department.
II these private enterprises can be
conducted successfully and SATISFACTORY
ly on the basis of one cent for city de-
livery, it surely ought to be quite as
feasible for the government to do the
business at the same figure, whereas it
charges twice that rate. The enormous
amount OF matt handled by these pri-
waite concerns seems to be proof positive
that the service has been satisfactory,
and that there arc great many people
to whom the saving in rate is a consid-
Grafton worth regarding.
A very large number of people DELHI
erately chose the private service, eth
er because it afforded more expedi-
tious delivery or because the rates Were
lower, and in either case the suggestion
merits the attention of Congress, which
may 'manifestly make 8 reduction in
this class Of postage, whenever the out
come of the last reduction is definitely
known, so as to permit Of taking further
risk BY similar experiment

PASS Tuy WAr.

The Fsirmont hderhas pointed WI
q good deal Of piquaney to the fact that
the reassessment will cost the county Of
Preston Senator Dawson.s county
an told, the sum of ISIS, fifteen dollars
If each inhabilant Of that county
should contribute an equal proportion
OF the cost Of this reassessment, nc
mans tax bill would amount to one
tenth of 3 cent.
The tax-collecteF would have to visit
from ten to twelve farms and dun q
dozen or more farmers before he would
have q penny for his pains. .-'
The collector would have 10 carry q
twist of home made tobaccoOr q Wheel
ing stogie and cut it up into fractions to
make change in each farmers tax bill.
Moreover, the hC'cr has gone fur
ther into the figures Of this reassess-
ment and ascertained that the entire
population of the State, outside Of the
railroad and other corporations, will
have to pay on account Of this reassess-
ment the enormous sum, all told, OF
$4,000 Six Hundred Dollars; orabout one
fitch part ofthe sum the Chesapeake
and Ohio Company will have to pay.
Now, the enormity of this reassess-
ment business, and especially in its re-
lation to the agricultural counties, in
singing out the farmers, fully appears
when we get down to figures
Through the stirring denunciations
of the Preston county Journal Senator
DAwsoN's journaD, and that other
journal, the Parkersburg Journal,
against the euOrmities OF this reassess-
ment, and their eloquent defense of the
farmers against this tax-extortiOn, the
sympathy aud commiseration of the
whole State has been aroused for the
oppressed and over taxed farmer.
No doubt these editors are sincere,
They are the sincere friends of the far
mer. They naturally champion hi:
cause. They will always defend bis
rights and especially his purse. They
have no sinister motives. They have
no political or partisan ends to sub
serve.
Now the question is how much SYM
pathy IN c0Sh has the Joennot for TIT
Preston farmers; and how much com
miseration in cash has the other Jour
nat for the Wood county farmers?
Does it amount to SIS with the Pres
ton JOrnUi?
That sum will remove the burdeI
from the Preston county farmers.
A very little more or less will relieve
the Wood county farmers.
Less than oue-tenth of cent pc
head will clear every farmer.
What say you gentlemen, has YOU
sympathy any cash value: If so, got
will ii her pay this tax yourselves o
pass the hat.

WHO IN FORCING THE FIGHTING IN
THE THIRD DISTRICT?

The Democrats art having already an
inkling OF the trouble in store for them in
the Congress ionai elections next year. A
Congressman is to be elected soon in the
Third district OF West Virginia in place Of
John +. Henra, who was chosen Senator.
This district gave about 5000 Democratic
msjority in loSJ, but the tsrifq question did
not enter into the contest then. IL is now
al element, however. the interest in the
growing manufactures OF the State having
attracted attention TO the subject. The
Republicans nominated q candidate, and
forced the fighting on the ground OF pro-
lection to home industries. The Demo.
Gratis were compelled to meet them there
and to call to their aid the most prominent
prOtectiOnSt in their ranks. ex-Speaker
Randall.-N,r lo,G Tf'b"t'
We do not understand that Mr.. Ran
dali made more than one speech III
West Virginia; and that was made at
an unimpOrtant village. He declined
to speak at all in Charleston, Kanawha,
Captain Snyder's town. The West
Virginia papers represented Mr.. Ran
cali to have been purely on q business
trip, undertaken because he has large
landed possessions in that State.
Do not suppose that We blame Cap
tam Snyder for calling upon Mr.. Ran
dali for assistance whilst the latter was
in West Virginia. We mean to say
only that Mr.. Randall did not go to
West Virginia to make that one speech.
--RicLmORd Dispatch.
Ifthc Tii'mc had put the boot on
the other foot we might recognize some
fitness in its comments upon the situa-
tiO,, i'm the Tbir,l district
The idea that the Republicans have
"forced the fighting on the ground of
protection TO home industries" sounds
q little ridiculous here in West Vir-
gina where everybody knows that the
Republican candidate has been on q
dead run ever since his nomination, to
escape from his equivOcal record on the
tariff question; that the Democratic
candidate was nominated on 4
straightout platform of prOtec-
ton for home industries; that
nobobOdy knows and no fellow can
find out just what the Republican cam
didate of the Third district has to say
for himself on the tarifppestion. They
can't hold him long enough to exam
inc him. They know what he was be-
fore the nomination, but he has not
stopped running long enough to answer
question since the nomination. That
Mr.. RANDALL was in the Third district,
whether byinvitation Of the Democrat
ic candidate or not, and consented TO
make a speech in the campaign, only
serves to make plain the neQuivocal
position which the Democracy of the
Third district occupy on the tariff.

POLITICAL NOTES.

THE friends OF Governor Sherman, Of
Iowa, think he has a sure thing for re-
election next fall.
A THIRD party is being talked of in Cana
da, the aims OF which are the abolition OF
separate schools and OF the French lam
guage in Parliament. 1t is proposed TO
christen it the Protestant party.
TIE 0rangemen (snti-Catholic Irishmen)
of Lower Canada intend to form new
political party, whose platform will include
no separate schools and abolition OF the use
of French in Parliament.
THE next Democratic convention in Ohio
will be composed of GA delegates, Cleve-
land. Columbus. Dayton, Toledo and Gin
cinnati having l59 votes, or just half the
number necessary to nomination.
Me-. LAREAU, Liberal candidate for Bon
Vile county, Canada, at the last election,
has obtained judgment for 800 and costs
against La Minerye, of Montreal, for stating
that be was a Free Mason, in order to pre-
vent the Roman Catholics from voting
for him.

craticl lays Of Governor Mcdaniel: HE
has broad views, in spite OF the assertions
of the reactionists to the contrary; and he
is in hearty sympathy with the general
policy which would have characterized the

THE vote cast in the recent Georgia GU
bernatorial election is so small that some
OF the papers there appear to be III doubt
whether an election was really held. About
one voter in eight exercised his privilege.
In other words, there are 100000 voters in
