Deputy United States Marshal Stein yester-
day morning arrived from Rockville with
Carlton Britton, who was lodged in Jail
to await the action of the grand jury
on the charge of participating in the
robbery of the postofice at Rockville. Britton
is the second man arrested for the robbery and
still other arrests will probably be made as il is
thought number of the young toughs in the
vicinity of Rockville were implicated in the
burglary. The postofice was robbed twice
once on Dec 26. last, and again about two weeks
ago. On both occasions the safe was blown
open, hole having previously been bored in it.

1T is a notorious fact that in no coun-
ty in the State is fraud so hagraut and
unblushing at the primary elections, as
at those of the Republican party in the
county of Lancaster. Their repeated
occurrence OF late years in that Repub-
Iican stronghold has become a stencil in
the nostrlls of her people. Only few
weeks ago the officers of an election
board in one of the districts of that
county were convicted OF the clesrest
kind of fraud in their official conduct
at the primaries held in May last. This
was followed by the indictment aud
conviction last Sunday morning, after
the Jury had been out thirty-seveh
hours, OF .he election officers OF the
Sixth Ward in Lancaster City who were
indicted for fraud and with adding bal
lots to the poll at the same election.
The trial occupied an entire week aud
nearly FIVE hundred witnesses were in
attendance. The defendants are all
well-known citizsns OF Lancaster and
have always borne good characters. \
few more convictions for the same Of
fense will perhaps purify the political
atmosphere in the "O!d Guard" aud
enable her Republican voters 20 hold
honest primaries.

The New Tariff Bill.

duties on imports only, and contains no
rsIerence TO internal revenue taxation.

in the rate of dury.

The Prohibition Experiment in Rhode
Island.

The latest figures from Rhode Island
on the working OF the prohibitory law
there are more startling than any which
have gone before. 1t has been previous
ly shown that there are more liquor
saloons under Prohibition than there
were under license, and now II is shown
that there has been great increase in
drunkenness and crime during tie past
year as compared with the first Year un-
der Prohibition. The official figures
upon the latter points were presented to
the Legislature last week. They show
that during the last six months under
license in 1885 the number of arrests
was 1898 during the last six months
of 1856 the number was 2262, but during
the last six months OF 1887 it reached
nearly its former dimensions, being
1890. During the last six months OF
1855 there were 2529 cases o: drunken
ness and IevslILg during the same
period for 1856 there were l4I5 ciIses.
and during the same period for 1857
there were 2lS0 cases. Upon cases OF
common dTuukards the showing Is worst
Of all. There were during the last SIX
months of 1885. 80 OF these ; during tie
same period in 1856. %. and during the
same period IN 1SS7,79.
II is evident from these figures that
the State is suffering all the evils which
flow from the unrest ricled sale OF liquor.
No attemp. is made longer 20 enforce
the law. Liquor is sold more freely in
the city of Providence than IL was un-
der license, the number of saloons 10
population being one for every 2O6 per-
sons. The average under High License
Is about one TO every 400 But this free
sale is not all the harm that the law is
responsible for. During the first year
that the law was in existence there
sprang up in all the cities OF the State a
host of so-called private club rooms"
which were merely secret drinking
places. The inevitable fleet or these
was to make drunkards OF men who
would never have become so under other
conditions. The figures now given
show the results in the increase of com
mon drunkards. We do pot seek TO
underestimate in anv Way the evils OF
bars aud saloons. We regard them as
a curse everywhere. and wOu'd rejoice
10 see them all swept from existence {;
but great as their evils are. those of Sc
cret drinking ard of unrestricted drink
ing are greater. Prohibition is worse
than a folly when il leads 10 r5su.ts like
these.-N. Y. EreHiRg Post.

Now for the Candidates (!

Since the dates and places OF the Ma
tions! Conventions of the Two great par
ties have been fixed upon, The current
speculation IS with respect TO the two
Presidential candidates. In one I'M
portant particular the Democratic party
has an advantage over its opponent-the
choice of its candidate for the Presiden-
CIV has already been unalterably deter
mined by popular decree. No Repub!i-
can, unless he should be gifted with
second sight" would venture to name
from the crowd of Presidential aspirants
the man upon whom the choice of the
Chicago Convention will fall. No Dem
ocrAt would seriously dispute that Gro
yer Cleveland is predestined 10 be the
nomineee of the $. Louis Convention.
There are Republicans, with whom
the wish is The father OF the thought,
who express the belief that Mr.. Blaine
will be nominated because OF an inabili-
" of the National Convention 10 agree
upon any other candidate likewise
there are Democrats who amuse them
selves with the fancy that In the chapter
OF political accidents Cleveland may
fail OF a nomination. As for Mr.
Blaine, the R-pGblicans have evidently
determined 10 hold him TO his word, and
tney Will be much more likely TO select
a c4ncidate IN Chicago whose uomIna-
tiOn will still the voice OF faction than
to invoke the very spirit OF faction by
falling back upon the Maine statesman.
l. IS much easier TO fOTetell whom the
Republicans will not nominate than TO
predict whom they viii select out of a
list of candidates that will grow rather
than diminish from this time till the
meeting of the National Convention.
For example. they will hardly be guilty
of so extreme an act of political folly as
to nominate Chsuncey NJ. Depew, the
President OF the New York Central
Railroad Company. upon a platform of
Protection 10 American Labor. ="
While the corporations, TRUSTS" and
Combines" OF every description will
have a most potent influence upon the
choice of the Republican candidate, the
party leaders are altogether too saga
cious TO make such a nomination. They
may not have in their hearts very strong
hope of success, even with the most
popular candidate whom they may be
able to put in the i-ld against CIeye-
laGd but the Democrats need not ex-
p7ct that they will recklessy fling away
all their prospects in the coming cam
paigu by making the champion and
repr, sentative OF the Vanderbilt Rail-
road MOuCply their candidate for Presi-
dent OF The United States,
Moreover, the railroad corporations
ard Trusts have too great stake in the
success OF the Republican party to in
vite It 10 deliberatelyly commit this
folly. While they will pour out their
money layishly To defeat the peoples

in 1884, they are no more disposed to
waste it in desperate political advent

THE strike of the loco motive engi-
neers and fireman, 1.60O iu number, on
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
Railroad, which began on last Monday
week, still continues with no apparent
prospect OF settlement. Mr.. Arthur,
who is Chief of the Brotherhood OF loco
motive engineers, is in Chicago person
ally experimenting the strike. The
organization is we'll prepared TO carry it
on having half million of dollars in
its treasury. The cause of the strike
as stated by an officer OF the road is
this: AT present we have one rate Of
pay for engineers just promoted from
fireman. which continues for one year.
In the second year OF service as an en-
gineer an advance of pay is given. On
the expiration of the second year q
further advance to full engineers pay
is given. The schedule proposed by
the engineers does away with this clas-
siication and insists upon full pay for
every man as soon as he begins to run
an engine" The Brotherhood, we be-
lieve, have never yet lost strike and
say they feel very confident Of success
in the present one. Both sides express
settled determination not TO yield.
