1t Will Not Work.

Is Mr.. Chairman Thomas V. Cooper,
of the Republican state committee, en-
tirely fool or does he only consider
the iron masters and other manufactur-
ers of this state to be such He is
sending out TO them, almost regardless
of party, circular begging for money
to elect Beaver governor, and himself
or Quay to the United States Senate,
on the plea that "protecton" is to be
the leading issue of the state campaign
in Pennsylvania this fall and that ''if
the leading Industries of the state aid
us IN all practical ways during this
campaign, the protective issue will be
safely solved and good results will be
secured
Mr.. Cooper seems to belong TO that
peculiar class of double.dyed and
copper-bottomed Bourbons who forget
all that is not convenient to remember
and learn nothing.
He started his calamity campaign
for Beaver and Davis in 1882 with
two issues-"protection' and "Penn-
sylvania for Pennsylvanians." He clam
ored frantically for several weeks that,
as Mr.. Pattison had been born in
Maryland, it would be terrible blow
to the pride of the commonwealth if
its people should choose him for gov
ernor; and as Mr.. Randall was running
for Congress in Philadelphia, and ex
United States Senator Wallace for
state senator in Cleaifield, the indus
tries of Pennsylvania would be pros
trated in the event of Democratic sue.
cess.
Presently it was discovered that
Cooper himself was born in Ohio, and
got into the state by way of Delaware.
Then the fountains of his eloquent dec
lamation against the people who had
lived in the state only tive-sixlhs of
their life, and had no control over the
place of their birth, We're sealed. But
he hung on hopefully to the protection
issue until the last return was in, and
he and his ill-fated ticket were beat en-
by 10000 plurality.
AS four years of Democratic state
administration, distinguished by en-
forcement of the law, regard for the
constitution, regulation of the corpo-
rate interests, redemption of the paraon
board from sin and shame and other
excellent features, have not seriously
initiated against any honest aud de
serving interest in Pennsylvania, ore
might reasonably suppose that Cooper
had at least learned some new trick
Bu.itis "Monsieur Tonson come again. I"
The irrepressible John w. Frazier, a
crank OF the worst sort, is entrusted
with the tariff end Of the campaign
The Press having disclosed the fact
that the postmasters upon whom toll
was formerly levied, and who were
conscripted into campaign work were
mostly turned out, Frazier is set on the
business men" to bully them into con
tributions. 1t is burned powder. 1t
will not even flash again. The manu-
facturers of Pennsylvania are not as a
rule idiots, They know perfectly well
that Beavers defeat will not hurt them
nor their business. They will let him
to his fate.-Lancaster MteHigencer,

Near the End.

WASHINGTON, Aug 2.-''This will
undoubtedly be the last week of Con-
gress, said Mr.. Allison, Chairman of
the Senate Committee on appropria-
tions, in forecasting the work to be
done at this session. "We can ad-
journ On Tuesday if we are only to
complete the appropriation bill,' he
continued, land by Wednesday, in any
event. 1t does not occur to me that
anything further than the appropria.
tions will be done."
Speaker Carlisle and Chairman Ran
dali, of the house committee on ap-
preparations, are both Of the opinion
that the session will not exceed beyond
Thursday, at the farthest, and may
end on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Work in both houses will be con-
fined to conference reports on the sun
dry civil, the deficiency, the fortification
and the river and harbor bills, when
they are ready. Only the first named
bill is necessary before congress ad-
iourps. The other bills can 60 over to
the next session, but the impression
prevails that they will all be disposed
of in some way.
The conference committee on the
sundry civil bill was in session nearly
all day Saturday, and while there are
quite a number of disagreeing clauses,
and other conferences may be appoint
ed, there are no very serious disagree
ments.
The interstate commerce and the
Northern Pacific forfeiture bills will
attract some attention in both branches
of congress, but as there is such wide
range in the views of the two houses
on these subjects they are not regard
ed seriously, and will not be allowed to
consume time so as to interfere with
the day of adjournment. They will
come up at times, If at all, when the
measures which must be passed are not
ready for consideration.
In the house of representatives this
morning will be heard the conference
reports on the river and harbor, the de-
| ficiency aud the sundry civil bills.
There will be no order in the consider
alton of any set of measures hence
forth. The committee first reporting
will be first served. Special orders and
the hours and days heretofore fixed for
work upon certain subjects will be dis
regarded. Everything is to be relegated
to the end that the four or five bills de-
termined upon for completion may be
completed
During the morning hour in the SEN
ate Mr.. Evarts debated his resolution
contemplating convention of the gov
ernments of the world for the purpose
of securing uniform currency stand
ard, and directing that correspondence
be opened by this government to that
end
There will be frequent dispositions
of conference reports on bills, as in the
house, and considerable time will he
given to secret sessions for consider
alton of nominations.

The Alien Landlord Bill.

1t is feared that the Payson Alien
Landlord bill, which passed the House
by an almost unanimous vote on Sat
urday, will not be acted upon by the
Senate this session, and perhaps not at
all, as it is very easy for the enemies of
any bill to stave off action upon it
during the short session of Congress.
But the moral effect of the Houses
vote cannot but be sa,utary and it is
thought that on account of it there will
be little likelihood of the formation of
any new United States Land or Cattle
Companies in Great Britain.

Ex- governor Samuel J. Tilden died
on Wednesday morning at Greystone,
his residence on the Hudson. He had
tsen in feeble health for some time, and
his death was due TO failure of the
heart. Mr.. Tilden was one of the
foremost statesmen of the land. As

Tweed ring and the Canal ring, and
he was elected President of the United
States in 1876, but was defrauded out
of it. In 1880 he declined to allow
