IL VIII Not Work.

IL Mr.. Chairman Thomas V. Cooper, of
the Republican state committee, entirely a
fool or does he only consider the iron mas
ters and other manufacturers of this state
to be suchp He is sending out to them, al
most regardless Of party, a circular beg
ging for money to elect Beaver governor,
and himself or Quay to the United States
Senate, on the plea that protection" 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 pecu-
liar class of double-dyed and copper-bot-
toned Bourbons who forget all that is not
convenient to remember and learn moth
ing.
He started his calamity campaign for
Beaver and Davis in 1882 with two issues
-" protection " and Pennsylvania for
Pennsylvanians." He clamored frantically
for several weeks that, as Mr.. Pattison had
been born in Maryland, it would be terri
Bile blow to the pride of the commonwealth
If lis people should choose him for COVER
nor; and as Mr.. Randall was running for
Congress in Philadelphia, and ex-United
States Senator Wallace for state senator in
Clearfield, the industries of Pennsylvania
would be prostrated in the event of Demo-
cratic success.
Presently it was discovered that Cooper
himself was born in Ohio, and got into the
state by way of Delaware. Then the foun-
tains of his eloquent defamation against
the people who had lived in the state only
five-sixths of their.life, and had no control
over the place of their birth, were sealed
But he hung on hopefully to the protection
issue until the last return was in, and he
and his ill-fated ticket were beaten by 40, :
600 plurality.
As four years of Democratic state ad-
ministration, distinguished by enforcement
of the law, regard for, the constitution,
regulation of the corporate interests, re-
demption of the pardon board from sin
and shame and other excellent features,
have not seriously initiated against
any honest and deserving interest
in Pennsylvania, one might reason
ably suppose that Cooper had at least
learned some new trick. But it is "Mon-
sieur Tonson come again" The irrepres-
sible 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 con-
scripted into campaign, work were mostly
turned out, Frazier is set on the business

is burned powder. 1t will not even flash
again. The manufacturers of Pennsylva-
mia are not as rule idiots. They know
perfectly well that Beavers defeat will not
hurt them nor their business. They will
let him to his fate.

The keeIy Motor.

The marvellous Keely motor again
shows signs of life. 1t was galvanized into
remarkably energetic action by Mr.. Keely
for the astOnishment of mob of thirty
gentlemen of capital and science and he
succeeded in persuading it to lift several
enormous weights and to whirl fly wheel
at the rate Of 5000 revolutions minute.
For eighteen years Mr.. Keely has been

wonderful secret force to some more use

only be persuaded to run printing press

ful members of society and, in spite of the
fact that nearly all scientific or practical
engineers who have had anything to do
with him have branded him fraud, the
public would be disposed TO give his claims
some consideration.

The nerves of the unnumbered small bows
who, with unstudied grace and no clothes,

greatly shocked Saturday morning, and for
several minutes even the boldest forsook the

the pier. 1t was thumped on the head with

A House conference committee, consisting
of Messrs. Randall, Holman aud Ryan is
considering the question of an appropriation
for additional buildings for the Indian train
ing school at Carlisle. The Senate has de-
clared for grant of s37, 500 for this purpose
and Capt Pratt, the highly efficient manager
OF this useful institution, has unmistakably
demonstrated the need and wisdom of this
outlay by the government II there is
anything in the system of educating the
young Indians or anything to come out of it,
the present inadequate and cramped quarters
at Carlisle should be enlarged. When it is
remembered that this will be the first money
Congress has given to the school for land or
repairs, Captain Pratt having begged the
necessary means or obtained authority to use
part OF the schools annual appropriation for
improvements heretofore made, the reason.
ableness OF his present modest request be-
comes manifest and ii is to be hoped his
means for doing the good work he is en-
gagged in will be relieved from the present
restrictions on them.
