Chairman Pilling has issued stirring
address to the Republicans of New
Castle County, which will be found In
another column Of the REPUBLICAN
Though pominally addressed to Repub
leans, it should apply with equal force
to honest Democrats, whose Democracy
does not consist in blind partisan sub
serviency at the sacrifice of principle
With peculiar force comes the advic.
to be assessed Immediately and then II
pay the taxes that are required Il
qualify for voting. Two incentives fol
getting assessed are held forth. One IL
that Americans, who prefer to first
favor American industries and Ameri.
can labor, may qualify themselves
TO vote against free trade and the pau.
per labor of Europe.
Another is to quality to vote, as Mr..
Pilling puts it against "the fraudulent
Constitutional Amendment that will
come before the voters of Delaware at
the next election. There are hundreds
of honest Democrats who are opposed
to free trade, and also to the proposed
iniquitous constitutional amendment
To them, Mr.. Pillings' advice should be
AZ potent as to Republicans. Republic
cans, Democrats, whoever you ar e, read
the words of admonition, and prepare
yourselves for the struggle. The first
requisite is to get assessed, do it imme-
diately.
The second requisite ia to pay your
taxes. You cannot do this without
being assessed. The third requisite is
to go to the polls and vote your senti-
ments. You cannot do this without
having been assessed and having paid
your taxes. Prepare now to do all.
Will you do it? Are you citizen {?
Then exercise the rights of a citizen.
The next campaign will be a contest
or principles more than men. Prepare
% act your part as men and not az po-
itical machines that only do the bid
ling of another. Men, you who are
opposed to political tyranny and
. the degradation of American indus
ries and American labor, arouse

this time, with hope Of slipping into his
shoes next term. He said yesterday to
several prominent politicians 81 am for

John w. Mentzer also, who was claimed
by Hiestaud, has finally Topped over to
Smith. As soon as Sensenig came out

naturally take tho other side, especially
when tho "bar'r' was on tap, aud he had

Last evening the NeW Fra started a

readers to take their choice Of other can

wondering why tho Era was 30 late in
discovering his excellence, and suggest
that the long deferred praise is only so
much taffy to keep the Worth men solid

MilIbnsirs, Lawyer, saloon Keeper and
Farmer End Thsir Lives.
Shortly after noon Friday Joseph Agate,
of Yonkers, guest at Earle's hotel, Now
York, committed suicide by shooting.
He leaves property valued at 81 ,000 900,
chiefly in the oIty and Yonkers. He
leaves one son, Frederick V. Agate, who
Is a graduate of the Columbia law school
The suicide was caused through fear Of
insanity as the result Of sieeplessness.
Shortly after seven o'clock Friday
evening Ossian Terburgh, q rising young
attorney, of Pittsburg, was found lying on
the floor in his room, dying. He was un.
able TO speak, but letter addressed to his
father told the story. He committed sui
eide by swallowing prussio acid. The note
assigned no reason for the act and his
friends are at a loss to understand his
motives, as his future prospects were Of
the brightest. He had a large practice
and was quite wealthy. His father is a
prominent physician. The deceased was
thirty. one years of age and unmarried.
Sitting in q chair Ia his bed room at
1927 Race street, Philadelphia, Harry
Hepworth, the proprietor Of the saloon
was found Friday morning by his wife
dead. There was blood on his night
clothes and five barreled Colts revolver
lay on the floor beside his chair. Oue
bullet was missing aud that was In his
brain. Hepworth had boen drinking for
years and was frequently subject to at
tacks OF delirious tremens Daring the
last week he has been 80 drunk and
moody that his wife has feared his self
destruction and hidden his revolver in
various places. Yesterday morning the
couple went to bed at l o'clock. The
woman got up at 5 aud found that her
husband had shot himself.
Thursday evening the dead body Of
Oliver Dietz, young aud wealthy miller
OF Newberry township, York county, was
found floating above the dam of his mill,
near his residence. Diotz was but recently
resident OF Spring Garden township and
purchased the mill property and moved
his family to it but a short time ago. He
left his bed aC four o'clock Wednesday
morning, without informing his wifo as TO
where no was going, though his early
leaving and absence was not considered
unusual until later in tho day, when search
WAS made for him. There is every indca
too that no committed suicide. His wife
is almost distracted aud eau assign no
cause for the act. He was the father of
four small children.

Revenue Reform.
ours.

Mr.. Morrison says that the vote on the
Converse bill showed majority OF the
House In favor Of revenue reform and
so It did and there is larger majority
for 1t than the vote showed, II we are
right in our belief that the Pennsylva
mia representatives, who voted for the
Converse proposition, are men OF
sense and true representatives of
their constituents in the Dem
ocratic party of Pennsylvania, who
want revenue reform of the right
kind. But the Converse vote showed
as clearly that Mr.. Morrison's bill does
not furnish the right kind, in the view
Of the majority of the House, as 1t did
that the right kind would be approved
since Mr.. Eaton and others who voted
with Mr.. Morrison against increasing
the duty on wool, will not vote for hi
horizontal indiscriminate twenty PEI
cent. or no per cent. scheme OF reduc
tion.
Mr.. Morrison is man of sense, an.
30 one who can understand plain indi
cation. AS he wants revenue reform
and knows his own scheme will moi
carry, he should be ready to abandon 4
for what will carry, namely, an enlarged
free list only this and little more.

Not Free whisky.

There is great deal Of misrepre-
sentation or misunderstanding In the
cry that an abolition Of the internal
revenue system of taxation means free
whisky. Nothing OF the sort. The ob
lection Is not to the subject Of taxation,
but to the method Of 1t. Whisky 10 a
very proper subject Of taxation, but the
tax should be local not federal; 1t should
be on the sale Of 1t, not on the manufac
ture it should be laid on whisky as a
beverage not as a product. The internal
revenue system Is inquisitorial and op
pressive in its methods 1t tends to en-
gender frauds and prosecutions IL Is
inequitabIe, being 10 per cent. on some
Of its objects and 400 per cent. on others;
1t is unfair the spirits consumed in this
country being subject to it aud that
which the foreigner uses being exempt; 1t
is senseless In that the two iifths Of the
whole production Of spirits used for me-
dicinal purposes and the mechanical
arts is subject to the same tax as the
remaining three fifths that is drunk /,
tends to monopoly in that II concen,
trates the manufacture In the hands OF
the few and crushes out all the smal
operate rs.
Let there be an adequate tax laid or
the sale OF whisky everywhere, to bt
regulated by local necessities. Ii whisky
drinking creates public expense, let the
whisky licenses paw 1t where the traffic
creates 1t. The revenue tax paid to the
government now, IL paid directly to the
states and municipalities, In the shape
of licenses or tax on sales would greatly
tighten their burdens. Such tax pro
portiOned to the sales, would be equit
able aud popular. The 90 cents a gallon
on whisky, now collected by the govern.
ment, Is the only thing that stands in
the way of 1t. Let that be removed and
give the state chance at 1t.

felt with round crown the rim drops all
around instead Of the band there
is gold cord around the hat, with
acorns at each end of the cord there
is wreath in front with figure designat.
ing the number of the officer. The uni.
form Of the captain of police is similar to
that Of the men except that the word
"Chief " is on the front of his hat instead
Of the figure which designates the number
of the men. The new hats are very light
aud comfortable and are regarded as a
great Improvement over those heretofore
worn. They were furnished by Sheriff

When the vessel went among the breakers

The Republicans of Lancaster county

and us in the important offices, to be
filled this autumn the most important
being the congressional representative
and the judge. We have not interfered
10 the contest, save to chronicle its
various phases. We have not done 80
because the responsibility of the election
was not upon US. We propose to
oppose the ticket when nominated,
and especially cannot be reconciled to
either the congressman or the Judge who
will be selected to-day, whoever he may
be. We cannot accept the congressman
because 1t is political office which can
not be filed to our satisfaction by any
one but a Democrat. Mr.. Smith has
made as good representative for hii
constituents as any Republican 10 the
county could be, and there is no reason
on the part Of his party associates
for changing their representative, unless
there be reason In his long continu-
ance in his place. For the party and
public interest that Is rather a reason for
again choosing him but offices have
come to DO regarded as prizes and per
sonal rewards and II the party in this
county views the congressional seat in
this light they may see a reason for
changing their representative. II they

And as TO the judgeship we nave said
nothing, seeing that we cannot support
either candidate for election, not because
they are both Republicans, but because
we consider neither to be ft for the
place he seeks. The one has demonstra
ted this, aud the other will demonstrate
