There was bill of fare on the table; the usual
printed list of several hundred things a man

legend at the top of the menu informed the
public with all the confidential Importance ink

chops were a delicacy on hand for the day. A

read the legend. he said to the waiter: Bring

WHO ARE THE FAITHFULs

The defamation which is going on among
the ranks of the Republicans by the
desertion of those who are declared by the
BILE. A moments consideration will show
the fearful falling off that has been going
on.
First, Butterworth was declared kicker
for expressing his individual opinions on the
tariff bill; and after that Ewart was placed
under the ban for doing the same thing
concerning the election bill. Immediately
following Blaine became the target for con-
fusing the party slate with his reciprocity
idea, and nothing was too severe for the
organs to say about him. Then came Plumb's
turn, and next Wolcott and Paddock were
held up as Republican cowards." In all
this the solace of the Republican critics
was that their criticisms of the Republican
policy futtered the organs to such degree
that the only reply left was to read them
out of the party. But the climax was
reached when Quay, the engineer of the
national machine, became temporarily inde-
pendent, and overset the party slate; while
the finishing touch was given last Wednes-
day, when Belden, the censor of the press,
and agent in urging the policy of cloture
became an "obstructionist," and actually
brought to naught the mandates of the
Speaker.
The painful confusion of this falling off
from the standard of the caucus is increased
BY the doubt whether the new class of in
dependents have not become the party, and

P1TTsBURG. SUNDAY. AUG. IL, 1890.
EyADING THE TARIFF,

-, The haste of European manufacturers to
send their wares across the Atlantic before
the Mckinley bill shall 60 into effect, has
been noted in our news columns. 1t is, un-
fortunately for us, their privilege to do this,
and all we can do to protect ourselves is to
urge upon Congress the necessity for the
passage of the tariff bill at the earliest pos
slble date. There are signs that the Senate,
through Mr.. Quay's spectacles, perhaps, is
comprehending its duty at last.
But there are European manufacturers
who, not content with their legitimate op-
pOrtunities, are plotting to evade the new
barriers created by the Mckinley bill.
Certain German makers of decorated glass
ware are the offenders. The new glass
schedule will seriously curtail their ability
to compete with American products in
American markets. They propose to avoid
the duty on decorated glassware by sending
over their glass plain and having it deco
rated in America by German workmen
especially imported into this country
for the purpose. Labor of this
kind would be much cheaper than any to be
obtained here, and the German glass fin
ished in this country by under-paid German
workmen could be sold at prices far below
the domestic article. If this project, de-
tails of which THE DISPATCH is able to
give to-day, is carried out the Alien Con-
tract Labor law must supply the remedy or
the aid Of Congress be invoked to protect
our home industries. What may be done
Yin one line of manufactures may be done in
another, and the need for restrictive legisla-
tion is apparent.

FOR ALL MINERS.

The Hon. W. R. Hysell spoke for human
ity on broad lines at the great meeting of
miners yesterday. The anthracite miners
have q measure of protection under the
existing law, but the bituminous miners are
still at the mercy of unscrupulous em-
ployers. 1t does not need any argu-
ment to establish the value of life
to the miner who labors in the east
ern part of Pennsylvania. All miners
should be equally protected, and Mr.. Hysell
showed yesterday how this could be accom-
plished. At present the operators can take
unskilled immigrants from Castle Garden
and put them to work in the bituminous
coal mines, to their manifest bodily peril.
This can be and should be stopped by law.

whether their critics who have read them
out of the party are not now the real kickers.
Blaine's reciprocity policy has been adopted
by the administration; and Quay, Ewart,
Paddock, Wolcott and Plumb have been
"vindicated" in the Senatorial caucus. We
are thus confronted with the confusing para
dox that the men who have been stigmatized
as kickers are now the directors of the regu-
lar party policy, while those who have been
doing the scoring are really the malcontents.
At this rate it is likely to be the case be-
fore long that the only faithful ones among
the faithless, to the Republican policy that
two weeks ago was as changeless as the law

PUBLIC OR PRIVATE PURCHASES.

THE SOUTH CAROLYN. DILEMMA

The success of the Tillman party in South
Carolina produces a complication hardly
second in its relation to party lines to the
spectacle of Quay, Blaine and similar Re-
publican leaders. denounced for their inde-
pendence. Tillman was successful in Sc
curing the Democratic nomination, and con-
sequently what were alleged to be ''the
strsightout Democrats" have bolted and
placed themselves outside the pale of party
discipline by q revolt against the regular
nomination.
This is a paradoxical position for the
Democrats, whose distinctive characteristic
few days ago was their fealtY to the regu-
lar Democracy. The confusion produced by
such sudden turns OF the political wheel ex-
tends to the Republican organs of the North.
These eIponents of political opinion have
been for some time patting Tillman on the
back, under the impression that he was the
Independent, and that his opponents were
the regular Southern Bourbons. But, by
the action of the South Carolina convention,
Tillman becomes the regular and ap-
proved Democrat, and his Bourbon op-
pOnSuSs GIG 6uS independents. IL WIZ
therefore be necessary for the Republican
organs to execute a corresponding somer-
sault Tillman must now be scored as the
leader Of the South Carolina Democrats,
who proposes to squelch opposition by kill
ing it of; and the late Bourbons, whom the
organs were recently holding up as ready to
assassinate Tillman, will now become the
victims of the raYening and bloodthirsty
Tillmanites.
These are hard times for organs when
they are not only unable to classify their
own leaders as regulars or kickers; but
when the men whom they have been prais-
ing as Democratic insurgents turn out to be
the regular Democrats, while those who
have been scarifed as Bourbons are
changed into the position of Democratic
boilers. The only class whose position can
be stated at present with any confidence is
that composed of the hated Mugwumps.

DELAMATER,s DENIAL.

ERIE Dispatch (Rep.): Delamater's frank
and manly denial of Senator Emery's charges
affecting his honor and integrity thoroughly
refutes lie that nobody believed except those
who delight in thinking evil of their fellow
men.
HARRISBURG Patriot (Dem. j: Delamater has
been smoked out at last, and makes general
denial of the charges made by ex-senator
Emery. The latter, however, is yet to be heard
from, and the campaign promises some lively
episodes.
HARRISBURG Call und.): Senator Della
mater has made general denial Of the charges
preferred against him by Senator Emery. This
Is all very well as far as it goes, but the charges
were specific and the Gubernatorial candidate
should make his denial specific.
BRADFORD Star (Standard): The denial Is
broad enough to cover everything that has
been charged or may yet be charged against his
integrity, but If Senator Delamater were to say
anything about these charges it would have
been more satisfactory If he had taken them
one by one and conclusively proved their
falsity and absurdity.
OFT CITY Derrick (standard): Mr. Della
matters reason for not having denied the
charges was logical, reasonable and his course
was just what any honorable, conscientious
charges was square aud out and out. Here is
the opportunity Emery has boasted that he has
longed for. His charges are denied in toto.
PHILADELPHIA Record (Dem.): Mr.. Della
mater has entered a plea of mot guilty" in re-
ply to the charges made against him in April
last in public speech by ex-senator Emery.
Ii the charges be untrue, 1t is in the powerof
Mr.. Deamater to prove them So 1t is his duty
to prove them so. Mr.. Emery should be hailed
into court, his allegations disproved, and proper
punishment Inflicted upon him. Mr.. Delamater
not only owes this vindication to himself, but
to the party which, having faith in his integ-
rity, has named him for the first office In the
gift of the Commonwealth.
PHILADELPHIA Times Qnd.): This positive
accusation of falsity hurled into the face Of
Emery by Delamater, clearly shifts the issue
from Delamater to Emery, and if Emery shall
hesitate four months, as Delamater did, or If
he shall wait four weeks, or even much over
four days, to respond to this denial, there
would be general confidence in Delamater's
self-vindication. Emery has never been &C
cused OF hesitation cowardice, and iJ is odds
in favor of prompt and decidedly aggressive
counter-blast from the hills of Mexican county.
Referred to Senator Emery
PHILADELPHIA Press (Rep.): Mr.. Delama-
ter wisely and fully met the accusations and
entered positive, emphatic, and unequovical
denial of each and every charge preferred by
Senator Emery. He coupled this with a like
positive denial of any charge, by whomsoever
made, which assails his honor as a man and his
integrity as citizen. This is sweeping and
complete. 1t has been done in manly and
sincere way, and hurls the accusations back at
those who made them with an energy and vlgor
which is characteristic of Senator Delamater's
Straightforward and aggressive methods, and
which will carry conviction with it.
