By the way, there is fine statue Of Rob
Roy at the exposition, and the Scotch show
their appreciation of Sir Waiter SCOTS nov
els at every turn.
The dress of the Scotch women of the low
lands is not very characteristic. l see many
plaid shawls worn, and the poorer classes are
very poorly clad indeed Bare feet are very
common and bare heads the rule. Here at
Edinburgh YOU see the New Haven fish wives
whom Charles Reade has immortalized in his
tale of Christie Johnstone" They bring fish
to Edinburgh to sell in great baskets, which
they carry on their backs with a strap about
their forehead to hold them on. In the city
they squat down on the sides Of the street and
sell their wares. They may some of them have
been pretty once, but those l saw were old
and coarse. They wore white caps in some
instances, but oftener looked dirty and hard
They are very strong, and might stand as
models to the fish women of the French revo-
luton.
Another of the strange sights Of Scotland,
and q much prettier one, is the Scotch wash
ing. 1t is often done by very pretty girls, and
the sight is often equal TO one of kiralfy's
ballets. They wash the heavy clothing with
their feet instead of their hands, and tuck
their cheap bright colored dresses up to the
knee while doing so. In this way they tread
the dirt out They are not ashamed Of it,
either, and one Of them looked at me with a
roguish glance as l watched her.
The washing of great part of old Edin-
burgh is dried from the windows. The old
buildings are many stories high, and they are
inhabited by many poor families in flats of
two or three rooms each. There are no yards
for clothes drying, and all over this part of
Edinburgh you may see long sticks stick
ing out Of windows with a cross piece nailed
across the end of them and clothes lines tied
to this and stretched from the cross piece
parallel with the central stick to the window.

MEADOW SWEET.

In summer fields the meadow-sweet
Spreads its white bloom around the feet
OF thOsa who pass In love OF play
The golden hours Of holiday;
And heart t0 answering heart can beat
When, grows the simple meadow sweet.
Embosomea in some cool retreat
The long seed grasses bend TO meet
The strCam that murInurs as il flows
Songs of forget me-nut and rose;
The flmy haze Of nooG-tide heat
Is faint with scents CT meadow sweet.
All, Love! do you know meadow-sweet'
Does some pale ghost Of passion feet
AGown this dreary lapse of years,
So void OF love. so fun of fcarsf
Some ancient, far-otf echo greet
The once loved name Of meadow sweet,
w l. Courtnsv in Time.

as refined and as pretty as have ever seen at
the presidents receptions. The tobacco stores
are here often managed by girls, and many
other stores | have gone into in Scotland have
women at their head. The exposition has an
unusually fine-looking set of women acting
as exhibitors, and these in their pretty Scotch
dress are the most refreshing part Of it. They
wear the plaids of their clans, and noted
especially one who presided over collection
of pottery made at Dunmore.

The European Nations VIII War.

gaging in war with Turkey results in hos
t1lities, as now seems probable, the act can
hardly fail to lead to a general European
war, since it must be assumed that Greece
Is acting not Of her own motiyity only,
but through the encouragement of Russia,
which Is aching for an opportunity to ap-
propriate lions share of European Tur-
key. 1t is clear enough that Greece and
Turkey cannot have the endowment of a
war all their own; weak as Turkey is she
is much more than match for Greece A
conflict between them will draw into IL other
nations whose interests lie upon different
sides. Russia will side with Greece to oct
her coveted portion of Turkey, and othe,
powers will aid Turkey that Russian az
grandizement may be checked.

LANCASTER. MAY II. 1885.
Correction.

The Examiner reprints from the Harris
burg Telegraph a story told in it by Mr..
Thomas NJ. Jones, upon the authority OF
one whom he calls an "intelligent, we'll
informed Democrat" 1t pretends 10 ex-
plain why Mr.. Zeamer, of the Carlisle 'ot-
smteer, "and the Lancaster 1NTELLIGEN-
GER and other Democrats and Democratic
newspapers from Lancaster county were so
bitter on'' Governor Pattison respecting
his relations with State Supt. Higbee.
This "intellgent and well-informed Dem
ocratn goes on to tell Mr.. Jones that
when Higbee's time expired last year,
Hensel, Zeamer ct al, had put up neat
Job to have Prof. Heiges, of the Shippens-
burg Normal school, appointed superinten-
dent of the common schools. 1t was
beautiful Job. They not only had Heiges
booked, but they had planned for the
bouncing Of every clerk, and they had all
their appointments to clerkships laid out.
Every one of them was an anti-Pattison
man, and every one Of them was to be used
as club to beat Pattison down, ETC."
Every shred and fragment of this story
relating to the INTELLIGENCER, to W. L.
Hensel, his relations with Mr.. Zeamer, the
governor, DR.. Higbee, Prof. IIeiges, to the
superintendency of the public schools oI
any other appointment under the governor
is gross, malicious and mmtigated false
hood. Mr.. Hensel never concerned him
self in any way about the succession to DR.
Higbee; never booked anybody for it
never planned with anybody about it, nevel
jobbed in any way concerning it, and neveI
recommended nor protested against an!
appointment Of anybody by, for or unde
Gov. Pattison; and when DR.. Higbee wa
reappointed the INTELLIGENCER was on
of the few Democratic newspapers of tn
state that did not bitterly assail, maligl
and revile the governor.
The same persons who are now retailing
this story were recently telling that DI
Higbee was reappointed upon Mr. Hensel'
recommendation. They trim their lies t
suit the wind
And we do hot think, by the way, tina
the informant Of the Ielcgrdph'S reporte
was any intelligent and well-informe
Democrat" ;" on the contrary he was neithe
intelligent nor well-informed, and he is mos
likely Democrat for revenue only,
following the party as the jackal follow
an army, and never hesitating to betray
assail and malign Democrats when it graf
ifies his malice or serves his greed.
If we were to describe him as a black
guard by instinct, blackmailer by prac
tiee a thief nv proved fact and a forper
by his own confession, no one would
probably recognize him more readily than
himself.

A Distinction With a Difference.

There is nothing in the point made by
some liquor dealers, and which they prom
ise to test in the courts, that as they pay a
United States revenue tax the state license
laws regulating them are invalid. They
maintain that the federal law being su-
preme, and it granting them the right to
sell liquor, the state law has no right to
interfere to prevent the operations of that
law. They concede the police power of the
state to say at what hour Of the day or
night saloons or hotels may close their
bars, to whom they may sell and on whom
impose a penalty for the violation of such
police regulations as the state authorities
may enact but claim the state cannot say
man shall not sell OF do a business which
the federal authorities permit him to do.
There is no outcome for the liquor men
in this position; there is neither law nor
logic in it. The United States has no Ii.
cense power over the liquor traffic; that
has been tested and decided. To the state
is given that power; the federal exercise OF
authority is simply to tax; its purpose i,
revenue, not regulation. 1t imposes it.
tax upon those whom it finds licensed by
the state; and those who venture to sell
under 'tsreceiptfor tax are subject to the
penalties of the state law.
Nevertheless in the states where the pro
hibition law prevails, great many person.
pay government liquor tax, simply becaus,
they are more afraid of the federal law ant
authorities than of the enforcement of tn,
state regulation.

The State Tax LAW.

Judge Mercur dissents from the opinion
of the supreme court affirming the consti-
tutionality of the new tax law ana IL Is 10
be hoped he has filed an opinion setting
forth his minority views. Judge faNsoh
opinion seems to recognize and conceue Ihe
crudities and inconsistencies OF some
features of the law. and goes so far as to
declare one section of 1t imperative because
of its unconstitutionality, though holding
this does not invalidate the other distinct
and separate provisions.
1t is held in the majority opinion of the
court that the exemption of mortgages in
the hands Of corporations is no discrimina-
ton of a class, because they are already
taxed by the general law taxing the capital
stock of corporations, and to tax them
again would be double taxation, which IN
tention is not to be presumed. This seems
to be reasonable conclusion.
The exception of "notes or bills for
work or labor done - is declared to he
clearly vicious, as it certainly is; and the
section providing the fifty per cent. penalty
for persons declining to make return Is
only saved by the right of appeal which il
allows.
The one glaring Inconsistency and
irreconcilabe inequality of the law
to which the supreme court seem:
to have given no attention is in the fact
that in the first section money and securi
ties in the hands of individuals are taxed
at the rate Of three mills on the dollar o.
the value thereof annually; while in The
fourth section corporations owing mort
cages or other forms of indebtedness, anC
paying the tax thereon are required onl,
"to deduct three mills on every dollar o
the interest paid, Do these two mea,
the same? Ii they do the tax is only thre
mills on the income of securities, not o
their principal. If they do not, the SEE
| tions are inconsistent and unconstitutiOna

Difference OF Labor Organizations.

Mr.. Powderly again addresses his order
counselling moderation and denouncing
resort to the boycott and extreme measures
for the securement of their just aims. Mr..
Powderly's latest expression is not novel
or particularly strong in its presentation
of what he has to say but it is significant
in its continued presentation of his view
of the mission of his order, which view is
challenged by portion of its membership,
and probably points to conflict
in the order between the two par
ties, the representative of the other
being the Martin Irons, of st. Louis, who
| inaugurated the late strike there. The
issue will determine whether the Knights
| Of Labor, as an order, will survive or per-
ish. The other labor organizations are
generally not in sympathy with it, as its
| purpose is to embrace all laborers, and does
not deal with special class AS do the others.
| If it is successful, it will, by its numbers,
| necessarily overshadow the trade organi-
zations; and it has also broader doctrine
| than theirs. 1t teaches the unity of the
interest of capital and labor and proposes
| TO protect the employer that the emplOye
may be protected. 1t has the wisest doc.
trine that any labor organization has ever
| proclaimed. aud will succeed as the laboreT

Resisting Boss Rule.

Mr.. Robert Adams, of Philadelphia, is a
young man of wealth, of fashion and of in
telligence in Philadelphia, whom the bosses
four years ago encouraged to run for the
Senate from one of the Republican districts
of that city. He made respectable if not
imposing figure at Harrisburg but was
not entirely tractable, and insisted upon
supporting the Bullitt bill against the
wishes of the bosses. They have served
notice upon him to quit and that they pre-
fer for his succession Mr.. Penrose, another
young gentleman of ambition and ability,
who in brief legislative career has shown a
disposition to be a more convenient and
more useful instrument of the bosses. Mr..
Quay as the boss pacificator and perfect
equalizer, has been trying to arrange the
matter amicably; but to a gentleman of
Mr.. Adams temperament and circumstan-
Ces it is hard to explain the merits of an
arrangement which arranges for his defeat
or to reconcile him to an accommodation
Which accommodates only his opponent.
Mr.. Adams threatens to be kicker {,
and he does not seem to enjoy being cur
iied even by the gentle hand of the Great
Boss.

4 MIGHTY UNCERTAIN GAME
Story of Draw Poker That Comes From
Western New YORK.

n story OF Draw Poker That Comes From
Western New YORK.
The Buffalo Courier tells an interesting
draw poker story, and insists that it is true.
The game was played in Buffalo hotel by
seven men. One of the players had won
600 and was about to jump the game when
he picked up hand Of four kings and an
ace. 1t was invincible because they were
not playing straight flushes All came In,
one of them raising the ante SI0 Mr.. Four
Kings just Clipped along, not wishing to k eep
anybody out The others stayed and al drew
cards. the man with the kings throwing
away his ace and drawing one card rather
than spoil his chances of getting bets by
standing pat. The man who had made the
ten-dollar raise took two cards. Then the
betting began. All were driven out excent
the man with the four kings and the man
who had drawn two cards. They whacked
back and forth at one another unIil at length
having eNhaused all his chips, and gone shy
tor many dollars, the man with the kings
felt that he had Won all he wanted to- and
called. To his horror his opponent laid
down four aces. The beaten man howled
and claimed fraud, for how couid the other
man have four aces when he himself had
one before the draw? The EXPLANATION WAS
simple There beng seven players there
We're not cards enough TO go around after the
hrst deal, aud so the discards were shuliied
up ana dealt Tor the draw. In the draw tho
man who took two cards and was drawing TO
three aces got the ace that the man with four
Kings hau discarded, and was thus able to
beat him out OF his boots.
This doesn't happen often. Itiss lepsnd
thst the same thing did happen on a Missis-
sippl steamboat in the good old days. and

kings lost his plantation TO the man who
