practical politicians" so.oslled never
like 10 see anything hut straight ticksts,
but nothing 10 more wholesome for the
cause of good government than indepsn-
dence in voting. 10 the present campaign
the advantage Of having every official
voted for on his own merits Is plainly
seen, as is the reverse. Every Democrat
can vote for John J. Gallagher for levy
court without affecting national or
State representative, and can thereby re-
buke bad nomination by his party.
But when 1t comes to State Representatives
and senators, Republicans and Democrats
feel almost bound by national issues to vote
for the party nominees because the Legis-
lstufe elects United States senator. II
would be great innovation but 1t would
undoubtedly be better to have municipal,
county, State and national eieotions alb
solutely disconnected and each standing
on its own bottom. Then the people
could more directly carry out their will
in every one Of these branches. Some
voters of to-day may live to see United
States senators voted for directly by the
people of this State and the President by
the people of the United States without
intervening machinery.

II must have been a trihs unpleasant
for the projectors of PhilAdelphia's "bus-
mess mems" meeting yesterday week TO
learn Through the papers that one of
the signers TO the call for that meeting,
the firm OF Thomas Lee & Co., wool iner-
chants at No. 10 East Front street had
gotten into trouble with the customs
authorities through affection for an IN
timely free wool. Special treasury
agents had sOized, the day before, ship
ment of 81 bales Of wool, consigned 70
this house from Toronto, Canada. Upon
examining two of the suspected bales
each was found to contain, carefully
lied up in its interior, two soft white
blankets, and the inspectors expect to
ind like number of blankets in each OF
the other bales. The wool Of the bales is
dutiable OF 10 cents per pound the duty
on the contained blankets is "a cents pei
pound and 80 per cent ad yAloreni. 1t is
fair to say that member OF the frn
denied any attention to eyade the revenue
laws and that the senior member Of thu
hrm, Thomas Lee, WIN appears to hayi
ordered the shipment, hes not yet re
turned from Canada.

Itis IS hard for thousands Of Englishmen
to look with admiration upon Gladstone
as it is for thousands OF Republicans TO
appreciate the honest strength and sin-
oerity of President Cleveland. stiil both
are men heroic in their devotion to what
they consider the welfare of their respect
i've countries. However much Mfr. Glad
stones ideas in regard to the best treat
mont Of the much-vexed Irish ques.
tion may now disagTee with those
held by him some years ago, no
one who justly estimates his character
can doubt his sincerity then and now.
Thousands of good people in this CONN.,
try have sincerely changed their minds
on various subjects. There is much
Shifting Of party lines during the
present campaign, and we believe the
more voters study the tariff question
thoroughly the more will vote for Oieve-
land. But whether they vote for him or
not, they should as Americans be proud
of such man in the White House. Some
Republican may ask why. Because Of
his outspoken message Of last Deoem.
Der. However much Republicans
may dlsapprove 1t, they ought to recog-
nize It's manliness and heroic honesty.
Had Mr.. Cleveland been simply an ordi'
nary oiIioe.seeking politician, he would
not have t4Aen step that might from
such mans stand point merely have
tended to lessen his chance not only of
re election but Of denomination. But Mr..
Cleveland considers our present out
rsgeous tariff dangerous to the welfare OF
the country, and like man has fesrlessly
stated the fact. However much the
political opponents OF both Mr.. Gladstone
and AIr. Cleveland may sheer, their
sturdy honesty Of purpose should
be fully Recognised by all right-thinking

were q mass OF flames, sending theiE

looked as though these were all doomed.

This note of inquiry illustrates common
mistake. "Laborers" make the blunder 70
often made by Democratic statesmen; they
suppose that "less cost implies lower
wages. Wages In the iron manufacture are
higher from Il to II per cent than they were
In 1850, and yet iron and all its products are
cheaper. So wages on every railroad are
higher than they were 20 years ago,
while the cost OF transportation Is loss than
half as great. II a railroad can be sure OF
traffic enough to employ all It's tracks and
rolling stock fully, 1t can pay high wages,
and yet earn good profits. 30, II O furnace
or mill can be sure OF an ample and quick
home market for 400 tons Of iron per day,
It can pay high wages and sell iron for less
money than II the market for 80 tons per
day were variable and uncertain.
