Mr.. Fuller Confirmed.

Melville Fuller, of Chicago, was confirmed
as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States on Friday of last week. The
delay in the Senate to act upon this case has
given to it much notoriety. 1t has given
occasion for the display of much partisan
rancour in the Senate, which, after diligent
search, could find nothing on which to rest a
pretext for rejecting him. A Democrat, as
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, was too
much for them, and they are said to have
entertained the idea of postponing his confr-
nation until after the Presidential election,
with the hope that Harrison might be elected
and then they would not confirm him at all,
but wait until Harrison should be Inaugural
ted and appoint Republican. As mean as
this proceeding is, it was certainly contem-
plated, if we may credit current report:
The ten Republica ms who voted in the Affirmative

Prof. Tarpey on the Tariff.

Recently there was an old time barbecu,
held at Harlem, adjoining New York city
1t was largely attended. Among the speak
ers was Prof. Tarpey, who said;
"Where do you find all the mogopolists
all the men who have made their millions By
knocking the shingles off law and morality
In the Republican party, with hardly an ex
ception. Yet that party unblushingly pro-
claims itself the friend and champion of Amer
lean labor. History affords no parallel for 81
colossal mockery and false pretense since
Mormon Henry VIII. of England debaucheC
his kingdom and proudly styled himself "De.
fender of the faith" How many tramps ant
panics and great strikes did we have in this
country before the Republican party DONNA
ted our finances and our commercial growth
If labor is so excellently protected under the
system which produces Goulds, Stanfords
Huntingtons and Carnegies, why do we see
labor everywhere organizing and struggling
against these millionaire Republican bosses;
To use a vulgar expression, Just chew upon
that conundrnm and try to solve il.
THAT sort of rubbish and deceit will no
go down with intelligent men. Let me quote
some of the beauties of the present tariff
which the Republicans say it would be sac
rilege to touch. Do you know that there i,
one tariff for the rich and another for the
poor?
THAT altar of roses comes in free, while
castor oil pays duty of $50 per cent?
That orange flower oil is free, while lin
seed oil pays 81 per cent?
THAT diamonds are assessed at 10 per
cent, while common window glass pays 81
per cent?
THAT the finest still wines in bottles pay
30 per cent, while the cheapest mixed wool
en- goods pay II per cent?
''rhat the finest thread lace pays 30 pei
cent, while spool thread is taxed 81 pc
cent?
THAT the finest India shawls (costing $2t
pound) are admitted at 404 per cent, while
poor woman's common shawl mnst pay 81
per cent?
THAT silk stockings pay duty of 80 pei
cent, while the poor mans common worsted
stockings are assessed at 70 per cent?
THAT spices enter free, while the duty OF
salt is SO per cent?
"That of the $2l2, 000, 600 of customs dutiei
collected last year, more than three quarter.
came from articles of general necessity, ant
the rest from luxuries?

The Party of Free Whisky.

On Thursday of last week during discus
sion of the tariff bill in the House of Repre-
sentatives, Mr.. Mills of Texas charged the
Republican party with favoring high taxes on
food and clothingin order to have free 'chisky.
The Republican leaders made a charge on
him, but he proved his assertion from the
Republican platform, and Gen, Weaver, of
Iowa, still further cliuched the charge by
having read an article on the Republican
platform from the Chicago Tribune, the lead
ing Republican journal in the Northwest.
The Republicans were sorely vexed, but they
had to stand it.
Regarding their discontinue, and the truth
fulness of the charge, the New York Times
remarks:
The Republicans In the House do not relish being
reminded in the course OF debate on the Tariff bill
that the platform of their party commits them to
policy of free whisky in preference TO lower taxes
on the necessaries of life They protest that renov
Ing the internal revenue taxes does not mean free
whisky" 1t means the reduction of the cost OF that
beverage TO q mere fraction of what II Is now; II
means the removal of all national restriction upon
lis production and sale; 1t means making 1t next TO
impossible TO prevent its illicit and unregulated
production; il means that 1t would be doubly dim
cult to enforce prohibition in any State or county
and that the effect of licensing sales as means of
striction would be made nugatory. Furthermore, II
would mean that the Government gave up S9OiOOO,-
400 of revenue year derived from a pernicious
luxury for the purpose OF retaining burdensome
taxes on the materials of our manufactures and
the articles of necessary consumption OF all our
people So far the policy of the National Govern
ment was concerned il would mean free whisky
and nothing else.

Bringing the Subject Home.


About $50, 900 are annually levied to meet
the current expenses of Carroll county.
Suppose the County Commissioners should
levy twice that sun, or $1,000 and after
collecting the same from the taxpayers of the
county, should lock up the surplus $50, 900 in
the vaults of our banks. What would the tax
payers ofCarroll county say? Would they not
condemn such conduct and protest against
paying twice as much tax as is actually neces-
sary to run the affairs of the county? Yet
that is precisely the condition that exists as
regards Federal taxation, with the exception
that the sum levied is not quite twice as great
IS that required, sum, sufficient, however,
to leave surplus in the treasury of $780,
O00, 900 more than the government requires.
To lessen this tax by lowering the duties on
the neeessaries of life is what the Democrats
are eontendiug for, and that is what Demo
cratic success this fall means. Let farmers
and laboring men study this subject, and re-
alize that they are being taxed to death fol-
the benefit of wealthy nonopOlists who need
no protection.

Pauper Labor.

The New York correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Ledger, under date of July %, says;
On the very day that a committee of Con-
gress begins in this city an inquiry into the
question of pauper immigration and the i'm
portation Of Foreigners under contract to labor
here at stipulated wages, and when the atten
ton of the entire community is directed to
this important matter, charge is publicly
made against Levi p. Morton Of having vio-
lated the United States law prohibiting the
importation of foreign labor under contract
The time is well chosen to put the Republican
Vice Presidential candidate in an unpleasant
position. The charge against Mr.. Morton
appears in the Evening World this afternoon
II is declared that Mr. Morton last winter
engaged in England the men to take charge
of his greenhouses and gardens at Rhinebeck,
his country seat. 1t is claimed that he en-
gagged them at salaries less than the average
prices for similar work ruling In this country,
and that he made them sign in London a
contract, of which the following is said to be
a clause; 'We, the undersigned, hereby agree
to give our services as under gardeners to
Levi F. Morton, for the period Of two years,
beginning March l, 1885," The wages to be
paid were also stipulated. The Evening
World prints an interview with two of the men
engaged 10y Mr.. Morton in this manner. Now
this may be small matter, but such little
things as these sometimes make big differ
ence in close Presidential election. Four
years ago the fact that the New York Tribune
did not hire union compostors was actually
urged against Mr.. Blaine, and unquestionably
lost him votes. lift be true that Mr.. Morton
has engaged laborers in violation of the law
prohibiting the importation of contract labor,
it may give him and the Republican managers
considerable trouble to explain away the I'M
pleasant circumstance. Mr.. Morton undonbt-
eddy engaged the men in the belief that they
would come under the clause of the law ex-
empting domestic servants from the operation
of the act, bnt it is said that there has beena
ruling declaring that gardener is not SER
want, and is. therefore, not exempted.

Another Speech With No Rebel
Brigadiers in 1t.


The ADVOCATE, in speaking of the speeches
on the tariff on both sides of the House OF
Representatives some weeks ago, took occa-
sion to mention that of Hon. VIM. Mckinley,
of Ohio, as the ablest on the Republican side,
and free from sectional and extreme partisan
mess and economic standpoint. Another
speech of this sort-a business presentation
of the subject and not political harangue
born of prejudice-was that of Hon. James
O'Donnell, of Michigan, on Thursday of last
week. The wool clause was under considera-
ton, and Mr.. 0'Donnell entered strong plea
for the farmers and wool-growers of his state,
from a Republican view, and during his re-
marks ably discussed the tariff question and
surplus reduction in general, showing how, by
removing the tax from sugar and rice, and a
reduction of letter postage from two to one
cent, and the postage on seeds, bulbs, plants
and scions from sixteen to four cents pound,
in the interest of the farmer, the great flow of
the golden stream to the treasury could be stop
ped, without reducing import duties and de-
stroying American industries, as he thinks
tariff revision will have a tendency to do.
While dissenting from the position of Mr..
O'Donnell the ADVOCATE feels constrained to
make mention of the speech, standing out as
it does in strong contrast to those of so many
Republicans, whose passions and prejudices
have run away with their thoughts and whose
deliverances are more like stump speeches to
cross.road gatherings and intended to arouse
passions and catch votes rather than to en-
tighten and educate. Mr.. O'Donnell's speech
is a calm and dignifed presentation of his
views, well fortified by statistics, and shows
considerable research.
1t is to be regretted that there are not more
McKinleys and 0'Donnelis in Congress. The
Republican party might then advance beyond
1s61-'65, and consider the present and the
future.

York County, Pa, Items.

From the Hanover, Pa, Citizen, of Thurs
day, we take the following:
At an early hour Sunday morning NJ. I.
McCadden, of New Oxford, aged - years,
was found in an unconscious condition lying
between the graves of his father and sister in
the cemetery at Conewago Chapel with bull
let hole through his head. The shot, which
was from large s'bull dog revolver found
by his side, entered just back of the right
eve, passed entirely through the head and
lodged against the left temple, fracturing the
skull. He said the shooting was accidental;
that he carried the revolver because of his
fear of dogs; that he tripped and fell while in
the yard, and the revolver was discharged
when he fell. He is in critical condition
and but little hope is entertained of his recov-
cry. The young man has been greatly effec-
ted since the death of his father, which occur
red some months ago, and it is reported that
the shooting was done by himself with suici-
dial intent.
While playing base ball at York, Saturday,
Paul Mckinney, son of Adam Mckinney,
of this place, and Joseph Culbertson, each
ran to catch ball as it flew in the air, and
the two young men collided with such force
as to cause serious injury to both. Mr.. Nc
Kinney had leg broken, fogr teeth knocked
loose, his jaw seriously strained, and sustain
ed numerous bruises over his body. GILBERT
son had his collar bone broken, the ligaments
of the shoulder torn, his check cut so that the
flesh laid over, and sustained what the doctors
think serious internal injuries. tits said that
when the two men ran together it was with
such force that the contact caused q report
like unto firing pistol.
On Monday last Samuel Becker was severely
stabbed and gashed by Urias Thomas
Thomas has been sufferer from mental alb
erration for some years past to greater or
less degree, and on Monday, while at the res
idence of David Forney, near town, he be-
came very much excited and threatened vio-
lence to members of the family. Word was
sent to Mr.. Becker and he went to the house,
when the young man attacked him with a
knife and cut 0 long and ugly cash over the
left shoulder and arm, and GIG on the right
arm. 1t became necessary to use VIOLENCE to
disarm the desperate man and no was knock
ed down before he could be captured. Thorn
as was taken before Esquire Forney, and
committed him TO jail.
