SECRETARY TRAcY is about TO commit
murder. or what So the same thirr, re Is
about to hound the Cramps, shipbuilders,
TO death. The fierce partisan papers
alleged that Secretary Whitney's course
in not receiving the defective ships built
by John Roach was the cause
Of his death. Precisely the same thing
has occurred between Secretary Tracy
and the Cramps. only the case is not SO
Q aggerated against the Cramps as it WI S
against John Roach, There is a contro-
versy concerning the Vesuvius. The
Washington dispatches say.
Although built by Cramps, the vessel
WAS contracted for by the Pneumatic
Dynamite Gun Company, which sublet
tine contract. Before Secretary Whitney
retired he accepted the vessel so far as
speed, range and accuracy of fire were
concerned, but required proof Of rapidity
of fire. This last requirement has not
yet been met, owing to series Of unfor-
tunate accidents to the machinery. II is
understood however, that the contrac-
tors will claim that the vessel was ac-
cepted and that they are thus relieved
from the heavy penalties now $500 a
day. which would be due IL itsshould be
held that the government had. never &C
cepted the vessel.
This is dentically the case which Sec
ietary Whitney decided against John
Roach and which the partisan press said
was the cause Of the failure and death Of
Roach. SO il seems that the
present Secretary Is likely to
inflct death blow to the Cramps.
Now it remains to be seen whether Sec
retary Tracy win be more benevolent
than Secretary Whitney, and accept and
pay fora defective vessel or cause the
death Of the contractor II is a fearful
dilemma for Secretary Tracy. He is
compelled to commit murderer be.ray his
trust.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 31.-The statement
Of assets and liabilities Of Lewis Bros. & Co,
which were filed in this city and New York
yesterday, is much better than expected
The creditors Of the firm were gratified when
the figures were given to them, and the gem
hral opinion was that the firm could tide
pver its troubles and make a satisfactory
settlement with the creditors. The assets
are S1,82a,O102l; liabilities, s2.2i3, ,4S1 rs.
Some surprise was expressed by the creditors
ht the amount of the liabilities named in the
inventory. After the failure Of the firm
various estimates ranging from s4 900, 900 t.
50, 100000 were given. The delay in the pub
lication Of the statement was looked upon as
an indication that the statement would be q
bad one. The erm makes an offer to creditor,
Of sixty-two and half cents on the dollar
and ask that they be given eighteen month,
in which to make the settlement

THE Chautauqua controversy between
Or. GLADDEN. and Mr. Gunton turns on
the question whether the operations Of
the Standard Oil Company are beneficial
or harmful. DR.. GLADDEN. maintains that
by fraud and conspiracy it crushes out
competition aud creates paupers. Mr..
Gunton, who is paid by Mckee, stand
ard oil millionaire, maintains that
organization and consolidation enables
the Standard Oil Company to market
oil cheaper than it was ever marketed
before That would have been accom-
plished, however. by improved machinery
and experience. But meantime so many
small factories would not have beer
crushed out Of existence and the marvel
Gus fortunes Of Rockafelter, Flagler
Mckee and many other millionsires
would not have been built up. II there
were no frauds and no conspiracies, nc
false contracts with railways and if this
wealth of the Standard Oil Company haC
been legitimately acquired the position o.
MIR. Gunton would be correct. But that il
not the case. The Standard Oil Compan,

The sentence Of fifteen years imprison-
ment imposed on Judge Pulliam by a
Kentucky jury recallsa peculiar tragedy.
Pulllam was county judge at Hardins
burg. He had been married over twenty
years and lived happily with his wife. A
year ago he called James Miller wealthy
farmer into his office and after accusing
him Of seducing Mrs. Pulliam asked
him to sign a note for $1,000 and a con
fession Of guilt or suffer death. Miller
refused to sign the note and was shot to
death by Pulliam. There were no wit
nesses and that is Pulliams account
in the trial Pulliam proved Miller's inti-
macy with Mrs. Pulliam, but il seems
that the jury were not satisfied Of
the fact Of Miller's guilt, or they did not
accept Pulliam's explanation Of the al
tentative terms Of settlement If Pulliam
could have been satisfied with $4,000 it
leaves the impression that he put com
mercial value on his wife's honor and
that he was simply blackmaIler. He ex-
plains, however. that he was poor
man and that he meant to use the money
to move away from Kentucky It is
curious that all Of the witnesses for the
defense are Pulliam's relatives and politi.
cal friends. This raised the suspicion
that he meant to divide the money
among those who assisted him IN obtain
ing it.

PHILADELPHIA, Saturday, August 81. 1889.
Closed at I P. M. to-day
Last half-holiday.

Not another day is left of
the 1880 Summer if we go by
the almanac.
Its unparalleled storms,
floods, freshets and singular
wetness pass into history as
part of the record of a re-
markable year. 1t was a
strange Summer. 1t was a
strangely active good Summer
for us. Standing on the edge
Of TIE Autumn, the holidays
behind us, we now look ahead.
After to-day, the welcome rest
day, then work in earnest.
Next Monday, September
2, we commence the Fall can
nonade. The troops are mass
ing from all quarters. The
sound of Bargain" guns will
be heard all along the line.
What else shall be done with
whatever is left of Summer
things2
Hardly anyone wants these
Summer things now except
| those who are hying home
from seacoasts, sky-cliffs,
springs, with trunks full
of torn and spotted things
that cost more to darn and
clean than the new ones
that are here still, clean and
good but torn in prices. While
the store is a steady, every
day-the-same kind of a place
where only the right prices are
on the goods, yet there do
come times when it is wiser to
sell out than to pack away.
| And when at the end of a sea
son the time comes to step
over from one season to an.
other there isn't any mercy
shown to prices.
Tie time has co1le 10 let %
all Summer stock; but if this
were all we had to say il
would not be worth while tc
print these lines.
1t is the opening of the Fal
business, in which we take the
initial move next Monday, thai
turns this announcement into
value.
Next Monday we start the
Fall business by submitting
certain lines of new goods il
various departments that will
forecast our course for tht
! Autumn and Winter.
All the while during the lat,
Spring and Summer we'v,
! been buying in and laying
away Autumn things. I'll

We shall accomplish our pun

THE New York Tribune evidently has
been reading the Ohio Democratic plat
form with inner.conscious interpretations
and explanations not visible to ordinary
eyes. II says;
The true Interpretation Of the Ohio
Democratic Convention is that the party
ia that state wants TO escape from the
fatal position into which il was forced by
President Gle seland. but is unable to do
it.
The platform distinctly endorsed the
st. Louis platform and consequently Mr.
Cleyeland's position. II is the only Ohio
platform in recent years which was not a
straddle. There is nothing it evades or
muddles. 1t is outspoken and honest in
demanding lower tariffs. The Tribune
should study the platform for what it
says and net for what the Tribune would
have II say.

EMPEROR WILLIAM has gone wrong
The high .'protectionist. oratorical
statesmen and the statistical papers have
been holding Germany up as sample Of
high prohibitive tariff bliss. We have
heard from day TO day the praises of Bis
marck and his schemes for the protection
of the laborers. It was such q
constant and persistant song that we
supposed Germany was land over flow
ing with milk and honey. But that
sweet dream Of prosperity has vanished
for the Emperor William, in an interview
with member Of the Provincial Council
has. declared that the existing laws
for the protection Of laborers in Prussia
were deplorable They were insufficient,
he said, to protect workmen
from the greed Of capitalists
and reform was urgently necessary.
50 it appears that Germany has some Of
the same sort Of protection which pre-
walls in Che United Ststes. whereby the
rich become richer and the poor become
poorer. Riches and poverty must exist
in all countries under all laws, but If the
absurd protective laws do not bring the
results which are claimed. then there Is
no use in paying the taxes which they
prescribe
