ASSISTANT Secretary of the Treasury Fair
child refuses to forbid the admission of Nor
mon immigrants, and says that the bonds
given by their friends guaranteeing that they
shall not become public charges, are sufficient
TO allow them entrance into this country. In
quiry of Mormon agent in New York shows
that no bonds of the nature referred TO have
ever been given, and the agent is of the opin-
ion that none will be given in the future.
This circumstance, however, need not be ex-
pected to make any difference to the officials

LIQUOR LEGISLATION,

Figures of themselves will not lie, but
they may be made to do so, as everybody we'll
knows. For instance: the advocate of pro-
hilton may use the figures of the Prohibition
vote in the State of Pennsylvania to demon
strate that the sentiment in favor of a third
party is growing He may proceed to quote
from the returns that in 1880 the total vote of
the third party was but 1889, and that it
has steadily grown until at the election in
1885 the total vote was Is, 047 from which he
may demonstrate that there is every reason to
believe that it will not be long till the State
shall be carried by that party. This would
be dishonest use of figures AS far back as
1875 the Prohibitionists of that State cast
no less than Is, 244 votes, and in 1884 they
cast few more than they did in 1855. so that
it might be argued that the movement is not
growing so rapidly as some third-party Pro-
hibitionists would like to make it
appear. The Prohibition vote never has
shown the strength of the prohibition senti.
ment for the very good reason that there are
thousands of the best temperance men in the
land who do not believe in third party move
ments and thousands of them do not think it
would pay to pass prohibitory laws at a time
when they could not be enforced in anything
like the manner they should be. They know,
from observing how this kind of Legislation
has worked in other States, that the traffic
would not be suppressed and scarcely curtailed
at all, while the taxes now derived from it
would be lost to the people, who would have
nothing for their pains but the name of ac-
complishing something that everybody would
know was not accomplished There is not a

The workings of the undertakers organiza-
ton in the city of Cincinnati are shown in
the refusal, for four days, of any Of them to
bury the dead child Of Erwin Thomas, him
self confined to his bed by broken limb.
The excuse was that Thomas owed one of the
firms $18, and until this was paid none of
them would touch the remains. Thomas has
instituted a suit for damages, and purposes
seeing what can be done in the way Of punish
ing these men. He admits owing the balance
of $18, but says it was for livery hire, and not
at all connected with any funeral 1t would
be good thing if he were to secure heavy
damages. This thing of black mailing man
at the time of death in his family will never
become very popular.

REVISING THE TARIFF.

The only party that has ever attempted to
do anything practical in the way of reforming
and revising the tariff is the Republican
party. The Democratic party, though in
large majority in the House of Representa-
tives in the last two terms of Congress, has not
even attempted to pass tariff bill. 1t has
made abortive efforts at "horizontal" reduc-
ton, which left all the confessed inequalities
untouched, but even that it could not pass.
When the Republican party controlled Con-
gress it made an effort in the direction of tariff
revision. 1t was not all that could have beer
asked, nor all that was expected by those who
voted for it; but it was an earnest of the pur-
pose of the party, and an intelligent recogni-
ton of the fact that reform of the tariff was
needed by the changing conditions of the coun-
try. The Republican party still recognizes
that fact and is still pledged to that work, a
work that will be undertaken on the basis of
protection to American industry-both the
enterprise and the labor engaged in the pro-
duction and manufacture of all articles into
which skill and work enter. The Democratic
idea is to abolish the protection; levy the
tariff on things we do not produce, SO as to

AMONG the better elements OF the commu-
nifty in Pennsylvania, without regard to party,
a strong sentiment in favor of high license ex-
lists, and an effort will be made to elect Leg
islature which will carry out these views.
The charge frequently made by Prohibition
lists that supporters of the high-license plan
were working in the interest of liquor dealers
is not supported by the action of this class of
citizens in the State mentioned. Having
noted the workings Of prohibition laws else
where, they give little heed to the efforts of
the advocates of such measures in their own
State, but the movement toward high license
arouses and alarms them. A secret organiza-
ton of saloon keepers and lquor-dealers mas
been formed for the purpose of opposing the
election of high-license men, and of sending
to the Legislature members who will oppose
bills of that nature. In Philadelphia alone a
fund Of 5000, 900 has been raised by the organ
ization, and as its branches are expected to in
clude every saloon-keeper in the Statey the en-
tire amount of money which will be collected
will be very much larger. Their earnestness
in this matter is explained by the estimate
made that at least one-half of the 5000
saloons in Philadelphia could be forced to
close under high-license law. 1t is in law
of this character and not in prohibitory meas
ures, which experience shows are not en-
forced, that the liquor men recognize their
danger.

State in the Union wherein prohibitory laws
are on the statute books In which the traffic
is not carried on very much the same as it
is in those States where there is no such
legislation attempted. IF not done openly
and in notorious violation of the law, it is done
by more scandalous underhand measures. In
stead of Is, 900 voters in the State of Penn
sylvania who would like to see prohibition
obtain there are probably not less than $780,
900, and it may be 100000 But the over
whelming majority of them are mindful of
the fact that it is next to impossible to enforce
a prohibitory law, and so, rather than relieve
the traffic from the burden of paying for the
expense it puts on the people without putting
an end to it, these temperance men prefer to
place high rate of taxation on the business
that can not be suppressed, until such time as
practical suppression of the traffic in intoxi-
cants. The third-party Prohibitionists, in
stead of representing the men whe believe in
prohibition, represent only very small pro-
portion of them and do incalculable harm to
all the people in attempting that which is i'm
possible, and in relieving the traffic in liquors
of the tax that should be exacted from it,

itory law will be practicable, but that time is
