Gifts to Presidents Wives.

Who are the generous individuals that have
bestowed upon Mrs. BENJAMIN HARRISON a
cottage at Cape May Point. clear OF encum-
brance and with floors swept clean for Baby
MCKEE to creep over this SUMMER
The fund for the purchase OF the cottage
was raised by subscription, but the names of
the subscribers are unknown. The deed and
the keys were handed to Mrs. HARRISON by
Postmaster-G General WANAMAKEB and Mr..
MoKEAN Of the Philadelphia Ledger. This
does not necessarily prove that WANAMAKER
and Mr.. GEORGE WASHINGTON CHILDs are
the secret benefactors WANAMAKER may
have acted merely in the capacity Of friend
OF the family, while Mr.. CHILDs's right-hand
man may have been called in as an expert in
the art OF giving things gracefully. Per-
haps neither the proprietor OF tho bargain
counter nor the world-honored poet and
philanthropist contributed dollar to the
HARRISON MCKEE fresh-alr and summer
home fund.
1t may be said that the Cape May Point
mystery is no business Of the publc's. That
Is not quite true. There have been times in
history when small private benefactions OF
this sort have assumed considerable impor-
lance. Gift taking by near relatives Of
statesmen high In the public service has oc-
casloned more than one memorable scandal
with political consequences out Of proportion
to the size Of the gift.
The only safe rule for President is to avoid
all possibility OF scandal by refusing to &C
cept any costly gift while In Office. and by
prohibiting any member Of his family to be-
come the beneficiary Of a fund raised by sub
scription. Such gifts are rarely disinterested.
The consideration Is likely to be called for,
some day. in one form or another. When
the repayment Is made, the transaction ac-
quires character sometimes described by
uglier words than improperly.
The best thing that Gen. HARRISON and
Mrs. HARRISON can do now is to procure
from Mr.. WANAMAKER an authentic list OF
the individual subscribers to the summer
cottage fund, and to give to their names
the widest publicity possible.
When that is done, the next step should be
to give back to those gift givers the whole
OF their present.
The President who takes bribe, Is lost

The Labor Vote of this City.

For a long time past the public have been
RECALLED with announcements concerning the
alleged desire of various Labor organize
tions to engage actively in politics. Hlther-
to, we were told, they had been prevented
only by the expense attaching to such ex-
periments, which was virtually prohibitive
OF any independent Labor party. Reso-
buttons of this sort have been adopted
from time to time by industrial societies,
and have furnished theme for Labor ora
tors. The advocates OF new voting system
have never tired Of talking about the mighty
results which were to attend a great Labor
movement; of the crying need for such a
change and the political revolution which
would follow its Inauguration. Nor have
they failed to refer to the following declara-
tlon adopted by the Labor party in Claren-
don Hall in September. 1886:
Since the ballot Is the only method by which In our
republic tho redress OF political and social grievance
10 DO sought wo especially call for such changes
elective methods shall lessen the need OF money In
elections discourage bribery and prevent intimidation
Fully month ago the measure designed
to secure these results was enacted, and the
great popular uprising which was to follow
1t, became due. No such uprising has yet &C.
Cured, nor does one seem likely; but. on the
contrary. the most Influential Labor organ
tzations have determined to keep out of
politics. The Central Labor Union, 1t Is
true after much argument and against
strong protest, appointed q Campaign Com
mittee; but thus far the members OF that
committee have been devoting their time
and thought to the task OF investigating
each other. The great Labor uprising is
slow In getting started
Entirely apart from the refusal OF the
influential Labor organizations to particl-
pate, two reasons account for this state OF
things. The first is. that under the pro-
visions OF the new law, independent candi-
dacy Is virtually prohibited In this CITY,
1t is not actually prohibited, but the dificul-
ties put In its way are such that Labor cam

The LIQUOR Business.

The Buffalo Express AYERS that Governor
HILL lis in a hole" because he has signed
the bill prohibiting certain political officers,
such as Mayors and Police Commissioners.
from being engaged or Interested In the
manufacture or sale Of liquor. The Cypress
thinks that this will rouse the animosity OF
the liquor interest against the Governor.
Therein Is the hole.
This consideration forms no part OF tho
case. Is 1t or is it not right that such pro-
hibition should exist? Is 1t or Is It not
right that the men who are employed by
the people to regulate licenses and super
wise and restrain the liquor traffic, should
themselves be engaged in that traf1cp
There can be no question on this subject.
II the liquor traffic needs to be kept under
public restraint and supervision, the public
officers who are charged with that duty
must not be engaged in the traffic them
selves. No proposition can be palmer than
this; and II the liquor men don't understand
1t, it is time they were instructed.
When the public acts OF Governor HILL
are examined, 1t will always be found that
they are dictated by motives Of public policy
and by considerations Of political and moral
right and wrong.
The reasons which have led the Governor
to sign this bill and give 1t force as law. are
entirely Of this character; and the result can
only be to confirm his position as an upright,
intelligent faithful. and fearless statesman.
