The Hon. Charles X. Buckalew is an
nounced as a candidate for Congress in the
Eleventh district, now represented by the
Hon. John B. Storm. Mr.. Buckalew's
abilities and experience in public life
would be of great value to the State in
Congress. The district, which is composed
of the counties OF Carbon, Columbia, Mon
roe, Montour, Pike, and parts Of Luzerne
and Lackawanna, gives Democratic ma
jority ranging between seven and eight
thousand, and deserves to be well repre-
sented. Mr.. Storm expects to secure
another nomination by means of
the few crumbs of patronage that
Mr.. Randall left to him. But the
termined to resent his double-dealing with
them on the tariff policy Of the party.
When in Congress formerly he posed as an
advocate of tariff reform, and on the
strength of his professions he was again
elected after the lapse of number of years.
AT least his former zeal on behalf of a
revenue tariff was in entire harmony with
the sentiments of his district. But in his
recent service he has become perverted in
to an extreme enemy of every effort IN
Congress to reform the tariff in accordance
with the Democratic platform and the
policy Of Cleveland's Administration. 1t
is not strange that the people of the dis
trict should desire change in their Rep
resentative, especially when such choice
is offered them as Charles r. Buckalew.
The above is taken from the Phila-
delphia Record, and is entirely right
so far as the reference to Mr.. Buckalew
is concerned, but wrong in other re-
spects. The two term rule has been
observed in this district ever since its
erection, and we doubt very much
whether Mr.. Storm will ask nomina
ton for a third term. Should he dc
SO, it would be against all preoedents
and his prospect of success would be
very unpromising. Mr.. Storms course
in Congress has been entirely satisfac
tory to his constituents, and the RecOrC
either misunderstands or misrepresent,
the democracy of this district when il
says they want to defeat Mr.. Storm or
account of his tariff record. The peo
pie of the district desire a change be
cause Mr.. Storm has held the office fol
two terms, and Columbia county
presses the claims of Mr.. Buckalew be
cause of his eminent ability and be-
cause this county is fairly entitled t.
the representative.

Another Useless Law.

The attention of merchants and
tradesmen is being called to the fact
that the law of June 8, 1885, styled
ian act for the suppression of lottery
gifts by storekeepers and others to Sc
cure patronage is about to 90 into
effect. AS its terms made it operative
only one year after its date it went in
to effect after Thursday, June 3,
1856. Its provisions are as follows
ANY merchant, manufacturer, i'm
porter, retailer or dealer doing bust
ness within this commonwealth, who
shall offer, give Or sell, or authorize or
permit any agent, salesman or employe
to offer, give or sell any purchaser or
customer, any ticket or tickets, check
or checks, or ether token or memoir
anda emitting such purchaser to de.
mand or receive money or any article
OF value, shall be deemed guilty of
misdemeanor, and, upon conviction,
shall be sentenced to pay fine not
less than ten, nor exceeding one hun.
dred dollars, or suffer Imprisonment
not exceeding one year, or either or
both, at the discretion of the court.
1t will readily be seen that there is
no relation between the act and its
title its preamble "whereas, the laws
against gambling and lotteries are
evaded by the giving of tickets, en-
titling the holders thereof to money or
articles of value as inducements to
purchasers at the injury OF legitimate
business" is misleading and misfilting.
Tickets or checks for chances are one
thing premiums or gifts to purchasers
are quite another. There is no war
rant for the confusion of these distinct
things and the law-making powers
had no right to put the brand of lot
terry or gambling upon that species of
trading which gives gift, or check or
memorandum representing gifts mot
chances) with purchases. Time ont of
mind publishers have offered prem
iums to subscribers and clubs and all
kinds OF tradesmen are wont to give
something sin the bargain" This is
no more legitimate than for soap or
tobacco sellers. for the tea and coffee
stores to give chromos and glassware
or tickets representing them with their
sales. 1t may not be dignified busi-
ness, but it is entirely honest and fair,
and the legislature which makes it n
misdemeanor is mean, vicious legisla.

The Confederate Bond Ghost.

When there is an absolute famine in
sensations which come within even
long range of probability, the ghost
of the old Confederate bonds is bobbed
up to call in sepulchral tones for their
payment by the United States. Some
times this ghost appears in London
sometimes in Paris, sometimes in
Berlin, but it has seldom given us
seance in this country.
Judge Fullerton, a prominent Re
publican lawyer and politician of New
York, has Just attempted revival or
the Confederate bond ghost before
Congress. He appeared before the
Committee on War Claims and de-
manded hearing. 1t was only court.
eous to hear so eminent an advocate,
and he was heard. 81 am Republi-
can,' ne began, shut l say to you,
gentlemen, that believe the time will
come when the Confederate bonds will
all be paid just when that particu-
lar "time will come the eloquent Re
publican advocate did not venture to
intimate but he could have safely
fixed the period of payment some time
after doomsday.
Judge Fullerton has obviously wear
led of dull monotony of the regulation
routine practice of the law. If he had
Theodore Tilton case TO entertain
him once year, he might be content
but he has had only one Tilton Beech
er case, and he has long been hunger
ing for novelty IN the line of his pro-
fession. All other sources failing he
accepted good retainer from some
deluded English and American Con
federate bond-holders, and he prepar
ed and presented his argument before
the Committee of Congress. He has
thus drawn one small instalment on
the Confederate bonds himself, and he
is now prepared to exhibit the Con-
federaLe bond ghost to order at short
est notice with attractive variations in
the programme.
Nobody who is safe outside of a
lunatic asylum, except paid lawyer,
has ever seriously thought of the pay.
ment of the Confederate bonds by any
body or government, either in whole
or in part ; and even so eloquent and
shrewd an advocate as Judge Fullerton
can't galvanize the Confederate bond
ghost into the semblance of life. While
there are fools to pay, he and others
will doubtless affect the belief that
somebody may sometime or other think
of paying the bonds but none but the
most picturesque idiot will ever really
believe in it.-ISmes.

Secretary Manning Resigns.

Secretary of the Treasury Manning
has rendered his resignation to the
President. His letter is dated May 20,
and is as follows:
My DEAR SIR: l have decided to
place in your hands my resignation of
the Office which you did me the honor
to ask me to accept fifteen months ago.
My reasons for this decision are both
public and personal.
Since the partial recovery of my
health has permitted me to reflect upon
the demands of the public service to
which l have given, perhaps too freely,
all my strength, and upon the con-
ditions of resuming my labors at your
side, 1 have not for moment question
ed what must be my present duty. The
full recovery of my health is pronounc-
ed to be an affair of weeks, and a
longer period of rest, especially during
the hot months, is prescribed, or at
least advised, as a prudent regimen
thereafter.
Compliance with this request would
not be practicable were to resume now
the general direction of the Treasury
Department, even if abating something
of the energy which it seemed needful
to expend in the first year of my work.
Supervision at distance would be
more a hindrance than help to the
Acting Secretary. But it is not be-
fttingthat a department of the govern
ment so difficult and so important
should be administered by a convales-
cent, studious of carrying out its daily
exactions, nor that the watchful con
troll of the enormous influence or di-
rection of It's fiscal policies, even under
your wise lead. should be attempted
by any one concerned about husband
ing his strength.
The reforms in your fiscal policy
which you have maintained and which
have been framed and commended to
the wisdom of the legislative branch,
are reforms necessary to our safety,
binding in honor, obligatory in the
traditions of the Democracy, set down
with promises in our statue. book.
Our present tariff laws are a need
less oppression instead of an easy bur
den. Our currency is chaos into
which we pour from forced purchases
of one of the previous metals, a me.
chauical increment under a coinage
law so ill-judged and untimely that it
hinders the opening of our mints to
the natural and unlimited coinage of
both metals and the free expansion of
our gold and silver coin along with the
growing needs of a mighty people.
All our needful customs revenue
might be collected by strictly revenue
duties upon few score articles in
stead of by extravagant or prohibitory
duties upon more than four thousand
articles. The mere machinery of ad-
ministration by its own mass aud com
plexity breaks down aud crushes out
the enterprise it assumes to protect.
A better currency than elsewhere
exists might be had by few lines of
repeating and empowering Legislation
followed by two or three years of cap
able administration of the Treasury
and Joined with the present sagacious
conduct of our foreign policy by the
State Department.
Under the operation of ofcurrency laws
and tariff laws now ia force, which you
and the Forty-ninth Congress were
elected by the people to repeal and re-
