It Lacks Sense.

We think il possible that the Washing
ton Pos. might be conducted with better
seuse and Judgment. Located at the
national capital, and the only democratic
daily journal there, 1t is in a position TO be
mistaken as an administration organ. 1t
does not occupy that place and there
4 no journal that does. The utterances
OF the Post are only entitled to the weight
that their intrinsic merit gives them
and that sometimes Is not much. 1t is
frantic upon free trade and permits Its
xeal to outrun Its discretion in advocacy
Of il views. What could be more silly,
for Instance, than its statement that
every Sowden has his Allentown !"
meaning that the president will approve
or disapprove the meun and measures
favored by members of his party, accord.
ing to their attitude upon the tariff ques.
tion
The Post Thought that very smart
thing to say, and considered that It
would be especially effective coming from
Il. because 1t Is printed in Washington
under the shadow Of the president. But
It il very unwise expression, and very
untrue one. We believe nothing would 30
readily meet the disapproval of the
country as an attempt of the
president to use his veto power to
command the obedience Of congressman
to his views; and nothing would arouse
greater approval than the refusal OF con.
gresemen to sacrifice their independence
to such dictation. 1t would he worse
even than using patronage to bribe con.
gressmen; and that no one would ap.
plaud.
Il Is quite impossible that the presi
dent, who has been distinguished
champion Of the extinction Of the politi
cal power Of federal patronage, ant
who has earned the esteem Of tn
country by the upriehtness of hi
administration, was influenced to vet
the Allentown postoflice appropriatio
bill by the tariff position Of Congressma
Eowden. Itisa a slander, started by th
Republican press and politicians, an

president gave good reasons for r
fnslng 100000 to the Allentown pos
Office. There was nothing but pos
Office to be accommodated and rental [
only sl 300 to be saved. Pablic opinio
has approved these reasons, and 1t is
great wrong to the president to suppl
ment them with unworthy ones; SUE
wrong from Republican sources is n
surprising, but it was not to be expsctt

A BILL has been passed by both branches
OF the Swedish Diet placing prohibitory
duty on American pork, and advance sheets
OF the United States consular reports
give an interesting summary OF the debate
In the first chamber OF the Diet, where the
vote was 6s ayes against IS nays. In defense
OF the measure 1t was sal, ina. Il sweden
could prsuuce ali the pork needed at home,
.'..Iat 1.-THE prevalence Of swinepest In Amer.
lea made the article dangerous TO health I"
aud that high tariff would not increase
tho price. This last point was the subject
Of warm argument by free traders and pro-
tectionists. Strange to say, there was no
attempt to combat the declaration that
American pigs suffer unusually from
swinePest. but q member said that there
was great deal OF humbug In the sanitary
argument To procure cheap food for the
poor was much more important than most
so-cilled sanitary measures. As TO Amer
loan pork II could not be denied by any
one that 1t WAS q positive necessity to the
working man, as Sweed lsh pork could no.
replace 1t on account OF Its especial char.
soteristics, such as superior fstness, etc.
Ole should be careful not to drive the mat.
ter 30 far that the = seedish workma,
would be obliged to seek his cheap Amer
lean pork on the other eide OF the Atlantic.
Another speaker warned the Diet that a
grea! increase OF emigration would follow
this addition to the cost OF living OF the
poor. In spite OF all, the second chamber
passed the bill by 81 majority.

Our Public Building,

Inc pIesioeuq Wes fiknt IN VetOonR tne
bill providing for q postofiioe building In
Allentown, and he WAS wrong in approv.
in9 libe bill for Lancaster Philadelphia
Times.
Thus does our all-wise and esteemed
Philadelphia contemporary settle of. hand
. problem which has been vexing some
minds not little. When the luminous
intelligence of the Times fell athwart it,
the clouds vanished and all was clear as
the MONDAY sun. In further elucidation
Of Its position, the Times says =" The fact
that Lancaster has probably one-fourth
moro population than Allentown does
not affect the marrow OF the question.
The true basis on which to make appro
priations for public buildings is to limit
them strictly to places where United
States courts are held, or where custom
duties are collected and public build
ing ID q public necessity"
It would be we'll for our positive
contemporary to explain why public
buildings are q necessity in places where
United States courts are held. 1t was
on this plea that Williamsport sec;itsa
Hs 6aiIdins, sui is. and nSs besSaaSse % Of the big
business that was done in that city for
Uncle Sam. II it is better that the i'm
mense internal revenue district that cen
res in this city, and the large post llce
business in Lancaster should be con.
Quoted under the roofs Of rented build
ings, why not permit few judges who
only hold court three or four times In
= year, to sit for the brief periods of their
sessions In rented rooms. The Times
point is pointless.
The true basis for Lancaster's demand
for q public building was that 1t was
public necessity. Here are some Of the
figures for collections made in the Ninth
revenue district in recent years
lssS-si.. $40 TS9 81
i,sss sts .
1855 49, - Las, ,62l "a
This district embraces the prosperous
counties of York, Lebanon, Adams,
Dauphin, Cumberland, Perry, Juniata
and Miifln. Three more counties were re-
Gently added. This enormous business
has been carried on in cooped-up office,
and the thousands Of dollars worth of
stamps could not be kept therein, but had
80 be packed away in the vaults Of bank
Tor safe keeping, If there was need any
where of better accommodations for the
internal revenue collections, surely it was
here. And the Lancaster postoffice. with
annual receipts of s35 900, was entitled to
s)me consideration. The Times has
wrongly jumped 10 the conclusion tina,
the building was not needful, but only q
grab at the public funds. The figures
here presented ought to disabuse it. The
cases Of Allentown and Lancaster are moi
vt all alike.

THE capitol commission is bestirrinp
itself with the purpose of having the
work on the wings of the capitol building
commenced as speedily as possible. The
great stumbling block is of course found
in the want of funds. When the work
was first undertaken it was plain sailing so
far as the financial aspect of the case was
concerned, as the necessary funds were
raised by issuing bonds. The money
must now be raised BY direct taxation,
from which no results can be expected
before the first of next year. Even then
only one-half of the whole amount ap-
propriatcd can he raised. Meanwhile the
commission do not intend to idly wait for
something TO turn up, but have sent out
circular letters inviting proposals from
capitalists who are willing to advance
money on the certificates which the com
mission will issue to the contractors for
work performed. By this means it is ex-
pected that work may soon be commenced
and pushed rapidly to completion.

GEN. BRooKE,s BRAVERY.

A western member of congress spoke
at some length recently to a Washington
correspondent of the Omaha Bee concern
ing Gen. Brooke, the new commander of
the department of the Platte. Among
other things he said:
Gen. Brooke is one of the best volun-
ter soldiers of the late war. He entered
the service as captain of the 3rd Penn
~sylvanla infantry, serving with this regi.
ment for three months. He recruited
and organized the 53rd Pennsylvania; was
ordered to the army of the Potomac and
assigned to the command that was after
wards a portion of the second army corps.
During the battles around Richmond,
Brooke was conspicuous in every engage
ment, and by mis- soldierly bearing he won
the admiration of every man in the army
of the Potomac.
AT Antietam, after the enemy had
pierced our lines. Brooke led three regi-
ments and made a gallant charge, recover
ing the line and advancing the right wing
of Richardson's division. Everybody is
familiar with the magnificent charge made
by Hancock's division at the battle of
Fredericksburg. Brooke led his regiment,
the 9th Connecticut, in this charge, and
advanced nearer the enemy's works than
n other troops engaged. Mill was or
dered to reinforce him. Mitchell, of Han
cocks staff, was directed TO move toward
the position that Brooke had siczed, and
was still holding. Hardly forty yards
from the stone wall around a cluster of
little houses and near the road and from
this point Brooke's command sustained a
magnificent assault, but lost half the men
he took into the fight. After Fredericks-
burg u new brigade was formed and given
to Brooke for the purpose, as Hancock
said, of giving so admirable an officer a
command worthy Of his ability.
AT Cold HarbOr, Brooke again led a
most desperate charge, and was severely
wounded. For weeks his life trembled in
the balance. When Gen. Hancock was
ordered to raise a corps of %, veter-
ans, he was allowed to select his division
commanders. He, of course, went to the
ID army corps, and in selecting Brooke,
Egan and Carroll he chose three officers
that had done as much hard service as
any three men in the Union army, all
bearing upon their persons wounds re-
ceived in action. In speaking of Gen.
, 1888-05-08

Brooke, Gen. Hancock said that Brooke
always did more than was expected
of him. He never failed him upon any
occasion, and no better soldier ever
lived. In recommending Gen. Brooke to
President Cleveland for promotion he
said in case he was ordered to take the
field now he would select Brooke for his
first lieutenant, and that he had no other
endorsement to make until Brooke was
given a position that he was so well fitted
to occupy.
PERSONALLY, Gen. Brooke is one OF the
most kindly and approachable OF men, So
ciable. generous and brave. He and his
charming wife will be a valuable acquisi,
ton to the society of Omaha, and the de-
partment OF the Platte has a thorough
soldier and a perfect gentleman as its
commander"
