The voters of Pennsylvania have not
yet learned to appreciate tariff reform.
That will come as they grow wiser in
political economy. But they do know
some good things when they see them.
Among these is the Brooks high license
law. Though only one year in operation
this law has been attended by such bens-
feisl results that every one felt con-
tident it would be endorsed at the polls.
But no one ventured to predict that it
would receive such overwhelming en-
dofsement. A majority of 1870, 900 in q
light vote is q surprise to its friends as
much % to its enemies. No reasonable
man will regard this as victory for in.
temperance. But it is squelehins defeat
for Incorporate legislatlon--for the Wis
ionary fsnaticism that would throw away
substance to grasp at shadow. As the
Philadelphia Press, which exhibited
through party timidity some ingenuity
in remaining on the fence until 1t could
see where it would besatest to drop, says
in this mornings issue:

The article headed 1.-THE Trou BILE with
the Farmers" which we reprint to-day
from the New York Times, merits the
very careful attention of all interested In
the cultivation of the soil. From such q
perussl the attentive farmer reader can
hardly help arising with more definite
understanding of precisely why the high
tariff does gross injustice to him--gross
because the day has long since gone by
when the nation had real need of the
exorbitant taxation thus imposed upon
consumers. He will see more clearly
perhaps than before that the price OF
what he buys concerns him as nearly ss
the price Of what be sells. II he could
buy in fair market he would not find
his county taxes oppressive. 1t comes

After glancing over what purports to
be the vindication of Judge Fisher, which
we print to-day, we think the judge has
abundant reason to pray for deliverance
from his friends. AS defence 1t is even
q bigger failure than the judges in
geniously worded card of evasion in con.
nection with the Fishbury deal. IL does
not defend, and where it attempts to de-
fend It departs from the truth. 1t is
notifying to every Delawarasn that the
insult which President Harrlson's admin
istration has fung into the teeth Of self.
respecting Americans by this notorious
appointment should have caused this
wretched safe burglary scandal to be
raked up again. The people of Della.
ware had hoped that the memory OF 1t
would be allowed tc die and, with it, the
remembrance that their State had been
shamed by the production of such men
as Judge Fisher and his pupil, Dick Har.
rington. But since this humiliating abuse
of the appointing power and the at.
tempted defence of the appointee have
rendered 1t Unnecessary to speak out plainly,
1t must be said that, to those who knew
the circumstances and the actors in the
events which illuminated in the safe bur
elary conspiracy, it was unmistakably
evident that ON George P. Fisher al
much as any one lay the responsibility
for what Dick Harrington developed into.
Harrington went to crime in his com
partnership and under his leadership
and, such being the case, it is a duty
wa owe to ourselves as Delawareaus
to protest and to keep 90 protesting,
against tue danning disgrace of this ap.
pointment.
