A WRITER in the Memphis, Tenn, Appeai
pleads the cause of the Gagged birds which
beat out their miserable lives against the
prison walls In the hope of securing that FREQ
dom which nature intended the birds of the
air should enjoy. The bright blue heavens
are their natural elements. They soar above
the clouds |; their home Is in the mountains
and the boundless expanse of the wilderness.
Their sufierings while imprisoned are inf
nitely greater than that of the Gagged beeves
while on the way to the slaughter house, or
the overloaded mule yet we shed tears over
the cruelty to animals and have no sympathy
for the hungry and neglected birds tortured
for years by a confinement which is as cruel
as it is wicked. 1t seems like waste of time
to devote all this tender consideration to the
feathered tribe, but it is in the line of pure
philanthropy to sec that the wants OF the i'm
prisoned beauties are properly attended TO

How They Watch the Races.

"Lord Rosebery selects a choice cigar and

Lord Cadogan retires to an isolated
spot from whence he can watch the pro-

studies the mechanism of his race glasses.
Mr.. Craven walks about as il he had
arrived by accident and wondered what it
all meant Mr.. Leopold de Rothschild selects
the critical moment in a race tor approprat-

An Expensive Humhug.

We are right glad to see that Gov. Pat
tison has vetoed a bill providing for the
establishment and operation of a scientific
agricultural experiment station" in con-
nection with the Pennsylvania state col
lege, and appropriating $4,000 yearly for
four years for maintaining the same
Sucha veto needs no apology. The state
college is humbug. With the $500, 900
endowment and other facilities which it
posses ses, its work is of no commensurate
value. There is scarcely another ed,ica-
tional institution in the commonwealth
that is not achieving far better results with
a much less expenditure.
Its income Of $4,000 year from state
boads is ample for all its legitimate pur-
poses, including "a scientific agricultural
Lancaster daily intelligencer. [volume] (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928, 1885-07-10

experiment station, If any such thing
is needed to complete its course of instruc-
tion.
We have long been convinced that the
best thing for the state to do would be to
entirely abandon and close up this college,
and cover back into the treasury the $780,.
600 upon which the commonwealth yearly
pays $4,000 interest to keep up concern
that does notdo as much for the promo
tion of agriculture in Pennsylvania, as one
good, self-sustaining Lancaster count,
farm.

The Suffrage Question.

In the Republican state convention at
Harrisburg the other day, there was a
good deal of talk about the Principles of
theparty of Abraham Lincoln, from those
who professed to be the exponents or Gus
todians of them. From the same lips
there was shameless avowal of the doc
trine that the federal government should
by force regulate the suffrage in the states;
and that Republican power in Pennsylva-
mia should be SO manipulated as to infiu-
ence apportionment in Louisiana.
If those who INDUCED in such declama-
tiOn had taken the trouble to read the plat
form upon which the party Of Abraham
Lincoln succeeded in 1850, they would have
found that it contained this unmistakable
declaration Of the relations of the states and
the general government.
Fourth: That the maintenance invioiate
of the rights of the states, and especially the
right Of each state to order and control its
own domestic Institutions, according to its
own Judgment exclusively, :, Is essential to that
balance of power on which the perfection and
endurance of our political fabric depend"
Subject to the restrictions of the con-
stitutional amendments, the suffrage is now
just as much one of the domestic insti-
tutions' of the state as any other of them
The supreme court has decided repeatedly
that there isno national" or ''federal" suf-
frage. II is franchise of the state,
granted, directed, protected and controlled
by the state. Rhode Island exercises that
right by excluding all foreigners, except
they own real estate of a prescribed value !;
Pennsylvania imposes a poll tax, which it
is in the power of any board of county COM
missioners to make ten dollars per capita,
and at least one-third of the voters of the
state now have political committees pay it
for them. No Southern state has adopted or
exercises more proscriptive franchise
methods than these and in truth the
ballot is to-day as fair and free inthe South
as in the North.
But the theory that the franchise is to be
regulated from Washington is false and
unconstitutional it is a domestic in
stitution," and the right of each state to
regulate it for itself was by no authority
more emphatically declared than by ''the
party Of Lincoln"

LANCASTER. JULY 10. 1885.
The Mcpherson.seuell Scandal.

Senator Mcpherson, of New jersey, re-
plies to the charge that he entered into a
combination with Senator Sewell, in 1878,
TO elect the latter, a Republican, to the
United States Senate from New Jersey.
The statement was that this bargain was
made in room, No. 20, in the Continental
hotel, Philadelphia on Dec. s, 1878. The
Trenton True Americd, made the publica-
ton, which consisted entirely of state
ment alleged to have been made by Peter
H. Watson, of Ashtabula, Ohio, formerly
president of the New York 4 Erie rail
road, and assistant secretary Of war under
Stanton, along with Tom Scott. Mr..
Watson is said to have occupied the room
adjoining No. 26, and TO have overheard
the conversation between McTherson and
Sewell to have reduced il to writing at
the time and to have handed it to Abram
8. Hewitt, of New York.
The statement was very particular in its
detail, hut manifestly rests on the relia-
bility of Watson, if he has stated what is
alleged. He is now said to be on a sick
bed and unable to be called to testify
further. Senator McP Pherson says, if he is not
crazy and has said what is attributed to
him, he either lies or was deceived as
to the parties,o or one Of them, whose conver
sation he overheard. For he says, and ad.
duces witnesses to prove, that although he
was at the Continental hotel, on Decem
Der 5, 1878, and was assigned room No. &c
yet he in fact never went into it, as he ar
rived late in the day and went TO New
York the same night, after transac ting
some business with parties in whose com.
panehe was during the whole of hisstay in
Philadelphia.
Senatcr~sfcPherson further says thaa'
roe,sz6 was SO separated from tlla adioin
.aig room by closets, that iywould have
been imalsible to hearn one what wal
said the >oths4 This amounts to
6fge that Watson lies deliberately, ant
is surrender of the suggestion that h,
may have been mistaken as to the partie
whom he heard conversing. No motive b
lie is shown upon Watsons part and tn
insinuation that he is insane is not sup
ported. The testimony adduced by Senate
Mcpherson shows that he was not in room
2G, as charged and as the matter stand
there is an irreconcilabe conflict in the ev
idence, with the burtien upon the Trenton
True 1sscricdn to prove its case.
