THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION.
How 1t Will Be Affected by the Passage
of the Mckinley Bill.

Mr.. Mckinley and his bill are heart
lily damned in England and Washing
ton, and should be in Chicago. Every
body in this city owes the ingenious
Mr.. Mckinley large and ineradicable
grudge for getting up and lobbying
through the House of Representatives
a measure calculated to hurt the
worlds fair very seriously. Mckinley
has in all probability made such
muss OF it with his idiotic and useless
bill that England will decline an invi
tation to exhibit at the worlds fair on
the ground that her products, being
virtually barred out of America by Nc
Kinley and his bill. she has no reason
for exhibiting them to American eyes
Holland will probably decline also The
increased duty on Sumatra tobacco will
be a thorn in the Netherland
side which will be very diff
cult of extraction. Mr. Blaine,
who doesn't like Mckinley, and who
was opposed to his bill for party reasons
as well as from principles, has received
information from a great many of our
representatives at foreign courts, the
consensus of which is that the Mckin-
ley bill will initiate against the sue
cess of the fair more seriously than
could have been imagined. The foreign
governments and public have really an
exaggerated idea of the bill-England
especially looks upon it as an almost
absolute severance of the commercial
relations between the two countries.
The Mckinley bill is bad enough. but
not so utterly and deplorably compre-
hensive as the English Foreign Secre-
tary has made it appear to the British
subject Since it has been passed by
lot of dunder-headed congressman who
were afraid to vote outside their party
lines let Mr.. Blaine and the rest of the
polite Republicans who are in control
of the affairs of state try and square
things as much as possible with our
friends abroad. The fats in the fire, to
be sure, but may be policy may rescue
part OF what Standardization so ruth
lessly sought to deStroy.-Chicago Mail. !

The Cashier of a Albany N. " Bank
Discovered to he Short Between $50, 900
and S50.Oo0-It Pays TO Make an Ex-
animation Occasionally.
ALBANY, \. Y, June ia new and
damaging development affecting the in
tegrity of ar old and supposedly faith
full employee of one of the banks of the
city IS in circulation. The discovery of
crookedneSs in the Albany City Ma
tionaI Bank led to a systematic and
careful examination OF every banking
institution III the city. Until yester-
day morning nothing had been discov-
cred out of the way in one of them.
But yesterday, while a supplemental
examination was being pursued in an
institution where some suspicious en-.
tries had been made, the evidence of
guilt stood out in bold relief. 1t is that
a cashier of one of the banks OF the
city has been discovered to be short in
his accounts between $50, 600 and $50
600.
A strong effort is being made to with
hold all the facts from the public The
rumor was first current in the shape
that another clerk in the City National
Bank was discovered to have been in
collision with Whitney. The bank Off
Gals and directors denied that rumor in
the most emphatic terms. All seen
stated that the only man in the bank
implicated in the affair was Whitney.
The cashier affected is we'll known and
has always been highly respected.
Both his name and the name of the
bank are withheld for the present

A WORD ABOUT QUAY.
The Charges Which the Republican Leader
Refuses to Answer.


Evidence is accommodating that Mat
thew S. Quay has not the slightest notion
of resigning the Craftsmanship of the Re-
publican National Committee. That
means that the Republican party will
go into the next campaign commanded
by man who has stubbornly refused to
answer the following widely published
charges:
Eleven years ago Quay took $500, 600
from the Pennsylvania State treasury,
and lost it in stock gam bling. He had
an associate in the transaction, one j.
Blake Walters. at that time cashier of
the State treasury. Walters subsequent
" drank himself to death. Amos c.
Noyes. the State Treasurer, died not
long ago afterward, and his death was
said to have been due largely to his fear
that the robbery might be discovered.
Quay himself was for months the victim
OF guilty terror. 4 new State Treasurer
had been elected. and exposure was i'm
minent. a friend who visited him at
the Lochiel House, in Harrisburg,
found him drunk, and debating
whether he should cut his throat or
jump into the Susquehanna river. This
friend visited Don Cameron, laid the
case before him. and that statesman. to
avert a scandal which would have done
great damage to the Republican party in
Pennsylvania. con ributed over S100, 900
to make up the deficit. The rest Of the
sum necessary was supplied by Quay
and Walters. Quay secured yindica-
ton by being nominated and elected
to the Office of State Treasurer. But it
was not merely vindication Quay want
ed. He wanted another chance at the
State finances. He got it, and availed
himself Of it and much more successful
ly than before. To pay for the bonds
and shares of the North Chicago Rail
road Company he took $500, 600 from the
State treasury and deposited it in the
Peoples Bank of Philadelphia. Will
lam H. Kemble, who had been par
doned few years before by Quay's par
doning board, after having been con-
victed of bribery, was president of the
bank. The $500. 900 remained in the
Peoples Bank. The Chicago securities
were delivered to Quay, who sold them
at higher figure and pocketed the
profits and restored the embezzled funds
to the State treasury. '-Albany q. "

preparation for Public BUILDING at
Tuscaloosa. Ala,
WASHINGTON, June 13.-The Presi-
dent yesterday afternoon returned 20
the House without his approval bill
appropriating S4o 600 for a public build
ing al Tuscaloosa, Ala. In his message
accompanying the bill. the President
says: Judging by its postal revenues
and by the officers employed in the Of
fee the post-office at Tuscaloosa is not
an important one. 1t has only one
clerk at a salary of $3.50. and no car
riers- The report of the Postmaster
General shows that the gross receipts
for the year 1889 were S6.379, and the
net revenues less than $1,000. The an
nual receipts have only increased by
IS, 600 in ten years. The rent now paid
for building having 1900 square feet
floor space is S275- The general propo-
sition to erect public buildings
at this scale of expense in
cities of the size of Tuscaloosa
would not, I am sure. receive the sane
ton of Congress. 1t would involve an
expenditure for buildings of ten times
the present net revenues for such Of
fees, and in the case under considera-
ton would involve an increased cost for
fuel, lights and care greater than the
rent now paid for the use of room,

1t must always be shown that a pro-
posed public building must yield an in

present uncertain state OF public rev.
enues and expenditures, resulting from
pending and probable legislation, there
is in my opinion an absolute necessity
that expenditures for public buildings
should be limited 20 cases where the
public needs are very evident and very
imperative. 1t is clear that this is not

tariff Law, but there is formidable minority
of that party who believe in the high pro-
tective theories embodied in that law, and
these may succeed in holding the majority
in check to prevent at least the certainty OF
disaster.
THE MINORITY MAY RULE.
If this minority should prevail and Sc
cure a conservative recognition of "the
state of things" in the national platform,
and place upon that platform Presidential
candidate whose record is not that of a con-
spicuously reckless tariff smasher, the
people may go to the polls without the hesita-
tion that precedes threatened commercial
disturbance. If they should not prevail,
look out for general tilt with wind mill,
in which the wind mill will not suffer irrep-
arabic damage.
This is a disagreeable conclusion, it is
true, but it will be recognized BY all broad
gauge political thinkers as logically correct.
Principles do not change. Exigencies, es-
pecially political exigencies, change very
often, very suddenly and very materially.
The greatness of political leadership
largely lies in the wisdom to comprehend,
and capacity to grasp, the exigency of the
hour, and it is equally an evidence of wise
leadership to let 60 of it when it is no longer
either useful or practicable. 1t would seem
that almost anybody of plain, everyday
horse sense might realize the full import of
the passage Of the recent tariff act as bear
ing on the immediate future of the Demo-
cratic party. As matter of fact, however,
il will probably not only take some time to
promulgate, but require a sound drubbing to
force it into the ordinary Democratic mind.

WARWICK HUSTLING
FOR THE SEAT IN CONGRESS OCCUPIED
BY M'kINlEY.

Governor Hill and Other Big Democratic
Speakers to Visit the District-Trying to
Get Out the Full Party Vote.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE p1sPArcH.I
CANTON, O., October 10.-From now until
the close of the Mckinley WI arwick battle
there will be some extremely lively hustiing
on both sides in this Congressional district.
The i'm ression prevails in many quarters, no
doabt partly owing to the Majors national
reputation, that most of the hard work is be-
ing done in his behalf. This is a mistake OF
the worst kind. Warwick's friends have
rallied to his support in a surprising man.
ner, and, like the immortal John G. Thomp-
son, they are claiming everything with con-
tdence. Within few days they will turn a
brilliant array of orators loose in the dis
trict. and keep matters going at concert
pitch until after the election.
Among the men who will lend their as
sistance may De mentioned Governor Hill,
of New York; Governor Campbell, of this
State; Congressman McAdoo, of New Jer-
sey; General Sickles, New York; Virgil P.
Kline, Cleveland; Smith NJ. Weed, New
York; Congressman Bynum, Indiana; Hon.
Martin A. Foran, Cleveland; Hon. Charles
w. Baker, Cincinnati; General John c.
Black, ex-Commissioner of Pensions; Hon.
j. h. Cultivate and Hon. Lawrence L
Neal.
Warwick's friends point with satisfaction
to the alleged fact that Mckinley, under
the most probable auspices. has never been
quite equal to the full party strength in the
old district. The leaders declare that the
days of doodle" campaigns in that part of
the State are things of the past, and that
the party will be true to its conviction and
vote that way In November.
THEY ARE ALSO
making considerable capital out of what
they call appeals for cash being made
by many papers of the country to help
the Major out, and claim that some of it
has been returned to Youngstown and
Sharon in order to stop the tongue of
scandal.
Warwick's record is pointed to with con-
siderable party pride. As Lieutenant Gov
ernor with Hoadley he pleased the party,
aud as business man they rate him second
to none in the district. In addition to this
he is farming 1000 acres of land in the dis
trict.

PHILADELPHIA, October 10.-Ex-Sen.
ator William A. Wallace was in the CITY

callers by stating that he not only intended
to take part in the great meeting at the

ing with Governor Pattison and the other
candidates and speakers who have accom-
panied him in the present tour, leaving the
Broad street station at $50 o'clock A. M,
and going through to Stroudsburg, in Mon
roe county, where large meeting will be
held. Leaving there at 2:36 o'clock P. M,

great mass meeting will be held, at which
Senator Wallace, Governor Pattison and
other leading Democrats will speak.
On Tuesday the party will proceed up the
Lehigh Valley, stopping at many of the
towns along the way, and addressing a large
meeting at Hazleton in the evening. Dur
ing the remainder of the week evening
meetings will be held as follows: wedpes-
day, Wilkesbarre; Thursday, Scranton;
Friday, Danville; Saturday, Shenandoah,
In addition, numerous meetings will be
