worth and refusing to pay more; and
depositing the money that it cannot
advantageously use in buying bonds in
the banks that give 1t bonds as security
for the deposits, thus returning to the
currents Of trade the money that the
government has collected In excess OF the
needs, and that 1t cannot get out Of the
treasury in the payment Of the govern
ment obligations, or in the redemption
Of its bonds at fair price.
The soundness of this policy must be
conspicuous to the voters and Harrison
and Blaine will vainly denounce the
Democratic administration because OF 1t.
Blaine thinks he is doing heavy work In
accusing the treasury for its deposits in
the national banks, that used to be Re-
publican pets, by the way. But all the
money the banks get they have Ia" spout"
governments bonds as security for and
their profit in the transaction is nothing,
save the accommodation Of their GUS

LAnoAsTER, L OCTOBER "a. isss.
The First Game.

Chairman Quay's zeal TO jail New
York repeaters has bagged its first game;
and he is Republican. Mr.. George
Gordon, Republican, registered in four
election districts In New York, was ar.
rested and pleaded guilty, and already has
been sentenced to two years and six
months imprisonment. His excuse was
that he was drunk. The Judge who sem
tenced him did not 80 believe; he told
him that he had undertaken to register
at half a dozen places, and that such
men as he deserved severe punishment
than he could impose upon him.
Chairman Quay, as soon as he sat him
self down in New York, offered a reward
Of t25 900 for the suppression Of Illegal
voting; s2, 900 was to be given for the first
co1viction, $1,000 for the second, s50O
for the third and t25O thereafter until th 9
e25,000 was gone. Having done this
Chairman Quay gathered around him all
the Pennsylvania experts in illegal vot.
ing and set to work to swell the registry
list in New York with Pennsylvania
Republican voters.
And the New York police force
noting the great increase in the registry
and perhaps doubling that Chairman
Quay was so jealous for the protection OF
the ballot as he was solcitous for the in
crease Of the Republican vote, watched
the registry and got as the first game 9
Republican repeater. Probably Chairman
Quay's rejoicing that the wretch was
caught would have. been greater if he had
proved to be a Democrat; and he would
have more cheerfully paid out the q ,OO(
reward for the first offender caught
But it is ever thus with the philanthro

Financial Management.

The New York Times says that there
has been are volution in the political affili-
atiOns Of the faculty of Cornell college,
who some years ago were all Republicans
and now thirty.fve of the forty.flye are
for Cleveland. The professors in their
interviews give the reasons for the
change in their political relations.
Generally it is that the Democratic
administration has done very vel and
that they have confidence in it. They
believe in its financial and tariff policy.
They do not think that it has done as
much for civil service reform as they
hoped for, but believe that more is to be
expected from it in this line than from
the Republican party.
The professor of political economy, +.
benjamin Andrews, says that Cleveland's s
administration "has been positively bril-.
ilant" in its handling Of the surplus, and
tnat "its action will rank with the
greatest measures Of finance that have
ever been accomplished in this or apy
other country" 1t has saved us from
~NashNaAi oAoeui pduCc NOTWITHSTANDING II q
extraction from the avenues Of trade of
the great surplus in the treasury.
The professor declares that Harrison
should be ''hunted to death" on the stump
for his declaration that the secretary of
the trtasury should use the surplus to buy
mp the bonds not due policy which
would simply result ia giving away the
surplus to the bondholders, who would
put the price Of their bonds up
70 saoo or over as surely as the
secretary would go into the market
% buy them at any prics. There is no
patriotism in the bondhoder; any more
than there is in ths Philadelphia mer.
chant; and how little there is
In them the Wanamakers, Dlsstons
and Dolans clearly show. Professor
Andrews declares that the Democratic
administration has steered skillfully a
saiddie path between the rocks, pay.

Cheerful Chauncey.

The New York Central railway would
not give passes to Republican speakers
because that might cause talk, but
check for s1O, 200 answered the purpose
much better, covering not only the fare
for Republican travelling speakers, but
also their hotel bills and other expenses,
If not the free whisky so much more
pleasing to them than low taxes. The
$4,000 check also serves TO show
the devotion to high tariff of those horny
handed SONS of toll, the Vanderbilts.
Chauncey NJ. Depew, who smiled when
he gave this check, is reported as con-
tinuing to smile. The cheerful Chaun-
cey considers the Republican prospects
brilliant and talks about "a large silent
vote in favor of the Republicans" That
is exactly the sort OF vote he will find
with the trihng difference that 1t will be
in favor Of the Democrats. 1t will be 30
silent that he can hear himself think and
this is what he will hear "It does up.
pear that all those iloppers the Democrats
talked about were samples Of thousands
of Republicans who just kept quiet and
kept their names out Of print when they
were determined to vote for lower taxes. u
Chauncey Depew is brilliant after
dinner orator, and he is apt to talk In
broad daylight In way that suggests the
joval and illogical hllarity Of the festive
board. His statement thas the tariff
l.. r.. a
Democracy, would be a brilliant joke In
an after-dinner speech, but In broad day
light it Is rather fiat.

Profession and Practice.

The Philadelphia Republican organs
which have just been manifestipg great
Indignation that Edward T.. Steel, a Re-
publican merchant OF their town who
favors tariff reform, should be interested
in . factory at Bradford, England, have
been afforded an opportunity to express
like discomfort with Thomas Dolan and
John Wanamaker, two other Republican
merchants of their town, who do not
favor tariff reform, but who likewise have
factories in Europe; Mr.. Dolan's being
in the same town of Bradford, England,
and Mr.. Wanamaker's in Berlin, Prussia.
The Philadelphia Record prints letter
from Chapman Coleman, secretary of the
United States legation, at Berlin, stating
the fact about Mr.. Wanamaker's enter
terprise, which is new one Of this year.
It is very notable that Republican
merchants and manufacturers, who see
ct to eagerly favor high protective tariff
and who exert themselves TO help the
Republican party, are quite unable TO
make their business conduct accord with
their political action. They show clearly
the hypocrisy of their profession and are
utterly shameless in their self exposure.
Mr.. John Wanamaker has been exhibited
rs an active canvasser for funds for the
Republican campaign at the very moment
that he was contending in court for a
reduction Of duty upon the ribbons that
he imports from the high rate put upon
them by the Democratic collector OF the
port of Philadelphia. lie was successful
In his suit, and il the decision stands,
upon appeal, it is said that it will close
every ribbon manufacturer in the
country.
After such a contrast between John
Wanamaker's profession in favor of q
high tariff and his practice in demanding
q low one, it IS not surprising to find that
he has established factory in Prussia to
obtain the advantage from the cheapness
of foreign production that he is so intent
upon denying to the people generally.
Mr.. John Wanamaker probably Is 80
habited in hypocrisy that he may not
fully appreciate the humiliation he suffers
In showing the wide difference between
his political preaching and mercantile
practice. He has habitually ex-
hibited like startling differ.
ence between his religious and
mercantile profession; being very Jealous
to preach in his Sunday school an OBJ
shQrTence Of the false and love of the
true, which he has not been 80 solicit
tous to show in the advertisements of
his business. The good book says some
thing about the rich man and the king
dom of heaven which is afforded a strik-
Ing Illustration in the conduct of these
Philadelphia merchants who loudly
howl for doctrine that they read
lily betray at every opportunity,
upon the demand of their products.
