PITTsBURG. FRIDAY. OCT. 8. 1890.
ATHUNpERBOLT FOR A CENT.

The London Times launched one of its
patent bolts amid peals of ten-cent thunder
Yesterday. The world is accustomed to the
extraordinary noises produced by this an
tique piece of artillery by this time, and the
only effect OF the ponderous editorial which
the cable enables US to reproduce to-day
will be to call attention to the plan to re-
lieve certain parts of Ireland threatened
with famine. So in spite of the worst in
tentions the London Times may be said to
have served good cause.
The pith of the Thunderer's remarks is
that the call Cor funds issued from New
York in Ireland's behalf, which The DIS
PATCH published on Wednesday last, is
bid for the Irish vote. The foundation for
this charge is that the statesmen Of all par
ties, two ex-PresidentS of the United States
among them, lent their names to the appeal.
Starting off with this remarkable assertion
the Times proceeds to deny that famine
can by any chance occur in ireland, and
that in fact few potatoes merely have been
blighted in one county. To set against this
assertion we have the testimony of innu-
luGIdDlG NlO HdNS SSSu WIN luSlE
own eyes the unmistakable signs of an ap-
preaching calamity in ireland. Traveller
after traveller has confirmed this story, which
the Times alleges is to be found alone in
Parnellite journals. The latter, the Times
says, care not the sources usually resorted
to for facts" but it will be admitted in the
light of the great inquiry into the Times
charges against Mr.. Parnell that the Thun-
derer is not good authority as to facts any
how. The facts in the case are really clear
enough, and they are very disagreeable to
the apologists for the Tory Government.
There is no reason why the fund for Ireland's
relief should not be raised. The allegation
that it is political scheme is ridiculous;
the very arguments of the Times establish
this. If the needs of the Irish people prove
less than they are now supposed to be, so
much the better, but enough is certainly
known to justify prompt response to the
call for famine fund.

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.

WILMINGTON Netos tRep.): The represent.
atives of the people at Washington have set
tied the tariff issue in accordance with the
vote of 1883.
CINCINNATI Commercial tRep.): The tarifi
has been revised from a national standpoint,
and it has been adopted by the Republican
party, and it will stand. The country il TO be
congratulated upon this outcome.
MINNEAPoLIs Tribune tRep.): The business
effects of this great measure can now be safely
predicted. 1t is to usher in period of almost
unexamplcd prosperity. And no interest is to
be affected by it so favorably as our foundation
interest, agriculture. 1t is, above all else, a
farmers tariff.
KANSAS CITY Journal (Rep.): From o pro-
tective standpoint the bill is the most perfect
that has ever been passed. It is Republican
measure, and for the results that follow its en-
forcement the party will be held responsible.
We do not fear the responsibility, providing
the law is given fair trial
MILWAUKEE Sentinel (Rep): The country
will now have the opportunity to learn by
practical experience the effect of this bill, con-
corning which its opponents have made such
rash and dismal predictions. The Republicans
await the result with entire confidence that
events will demonstrate the falseness and hol-
lowness of those predictions.
CLEVELAND Leader (Rep.): The tariff bill is
the Mckinley bill, the strongest protective
measure ever adopted. The assaults upon it
have aviled nothing Major Mckinley and his
associates may well be proud of their work.
OF the benedcent results of the measure no
protectionist has any doubts It means pros
perity even to the free traders
NEW YORK Tribune (Rep.): Unless the new
bill proves far more defective in working than
any OF its friends expect, the Republican party
will soon be able to point TO its splendid results
rs vindicatiou of the wisdom OF those who
framedi it Republican leaders In the Senate
and In the House will have reason to be proud
Of the result Of their long and weary labor.

BOOMING THINGS FOR PATTIsON.
The Independent Republican Movement and
Its Progress.

The Allegheny County Independent Re-
publican Organization is making extensive
preparations to boom things for Pattison.
Another meeting of the Executive Committee
was held yesterday, and Chairman Ayres, Of the
Committee on Meetings and Speakers, is ar
ranging for meetings in all parts of the county,
with several demonstrations in this city. The
following is the form of pledge that will be cir
culated among Republicans for signature:
'Realizing that the candidacy of George w.
Delamater for Governor of Pennsylvania repre-
sents the corrupt bossism of M. S. Quay, which
forced his nomination by misuse of the Federal
offices and the party machinery; condemning
his subservient record in the State Senate. his
failure to adequately meet grave charges re-
sponsibly and publicly made against HIM. and
his refusal TO take their authors into court,
where the truth could be made known; having
confidence in the integrity and wisdom of
Robert E. Pattison as shown by the record of
his one term as Governor; knowing that the
tariff question. already settled for years to
come by revision upon safe Republican lines,
cannot be affected by the election of either
candidate for Governor; recognizing that the
Senate, both State and national. is safely and
fxedly Republican,; and realizing that If the
Republican party is to succeed In 1892 it must
purify and prove itself worthy of success, we,
the undersigned Republicans. pledge ourselves
to vote and work for the election of Robert E.
Pattison for Governor of Pennsylvania"
Chairman Blair will to-day close the lease of
rooms suitable for headquarters and they will
be open to the public tomorrow.

STATE POLITICAL NOTES.

BRADFORD Star (Rep.): The Republican
who is only in favor of the ticket when he or
some of his friends are on it is of little use to
his party, himself or his friends
CHESTER NeUs (Rep.l: Mr.. vaux has dis
covered that what his district wants is rounder
hence his defeat Even dancing with Victoria
will not do instead of setting up things for the
boys.
CLEARFIELD Republican (Dem.): Let there
be no lodging on this occasion. but let each
tub stand on its own bottom. If Delamater
has committed the wrongs charged against him
he is unfit for Governor of any State.
NEW CASTLE Guardian (Rep.): We credit
Mr.. Phillips with being the possessor of too
much common sense to think that under ex.
listing circumstances he has the remotest
chance of an election. There are but two can
didates to select from in this district, Major
Mcdowell and E. P. Gillespie. Republicans,
take your choice.
LANCASTER Intelligencer tRep): Ex.Con.
gresham 8. B. Dick is one of the leading Craw-
ford county Republicans who has no love for
Candidate Delamater. He is particularly saw
age in his comments on the candidates treat
ment of John Morris. who was rhe Republican
candidate for Treasurer and had fine war
record and severe wound. He charged that
Delamater asked Morris to agree to the deposit
of funds in his bank, and opposed him because
he refused.
WELLsBoRo Agttator Rep.).-A consider
able number of Republicans in Bradford county
have Joined the Democrats in nominating
fusion county ticket. Just what reason there
is for this action doesn't appear; but 1t is nn.
derstood there has been for some years good
deal of dissatisfaction within the party lines
over the manipulation of the delegate system
of making the nominations. Bradford has q
heavy Republican majority. and 1t is probable
that the "kick'' will result in nothing more
than vigorous warning against the evils
growing ont of the old nominating system.
.READING World (Rep.): What the work.
ingmen want to do is to turn out on election
day and vote for the one most likely to add to
the prosperity of the Commonwealth, and
thereby to the interest of the people. If the
workingman really believes that Mr.. Pattison is
opposed to labors just demands, then it is his
duty to vote for Senator Delamater If, on the
other hand, he conscientiously believes that
Mr.. Delamater merely represents the interests
of BOSS" Quay and clique of unscrupulous
'practical' politicians, and is guilty of the
charges made against him by ex-senator Emery
and Mr. Hensel, then the honest workingman
should cast his ballot for Mr.. Pattison.

which convened at Philadelphia on the 23d
inst. did not go there as Delamater sup
porter. still claim to be a Republican and
believe in the principles upon which that party
was originally founded, but when the will of
the people is ignored and their choice set aside
to further the ends of few corrupt, designing
men. then think the time has arrived when
all the lovers of the principles of free govern
ment should revolt. 1 think it is high time that
we take some steps to let tho bosses know that
we cannot be duped into every trap they set.
From the information have from the Inde-
pendent Republicans in Philadelphia and other
places throughout the State have come to the
conclusion that the trap will be left open until
the 4th of November, at which time the lib
erty-loving people of the old Keystone State
will have the pleasure of finding Delanlater
and Quay in the trap themselves.

WAYS TO SWEEP OUT CORRUPTION.
Civil Service Reform Suggestions Made BY
the National Lengue.

the National League.
BOSTON. October AT the meeting of the
National Civil Service Reform League to-day
resolutions were passed stating that the League
recognizes the fact that $1,000 places in the
public service are now filed up on fair and FREQ
competition by merit alone, while Commissioner
Roosevelt gives assurances that 90 per cent of
the clerks so appointed under the late admins
tration have been retained.
The resolution continues in regard TO re-
forming the system of the present administra-
ton: 1.-THE removal of postmasters for no
other cause than their political opinions or
party affiliations resulting ill a partisan devas-
tation of an important branch Of the public
service, is grave otfense against pure politics
and the interests of an efficient public service.
While holding that the power Of removal
should be vested in the appointing officers,
subject only to a sound discretion, the League
also holds that no opportunity for changes in
public service, which is not political. for
reasons partisan, should be permitted. 1t
therefore urges all friends of reform to press
upon public attention and on Congress the re-
peal of the laws prescribing fixed terms of
Office, which were designed to facilitate parti.
san changes without the odium of express and
positive removal"

BID ME NOT FAREWELL.

Thou wilt not dwell to say farewell
At last when thou must leave me;
Of doom horn To bereave me
Of all that heaven or earth can give.
The hardest to relinouish-

That parting must extinguish.
For thou hast been that all to me
For which my soul doth pine.
Tby lows alone are mine:
Mine every need thy constant care.
Mime every sin forgot;
Ihaye no hope thou dost not share
Conceal,d from thee no thought.
Twas thou who taught me to admire
The world Of truth and beauty;
Twas thou who fill'd me with desire
10 live for love and duty:

NEW ORIGINAL PACKAGE POINT.
1t Is Thought Another Prohibifory LAW
Mnst Be Paased.t

TOPEKA, October 2-Arguments in the
Rahrer habeas corpus case. which is the first
test made of the Wilson original package law,
were concluded yesterday. The petitioners
attorneys argued against the constitutionalIty
of the new law, and made the point that IL the
State prohibitory law was not operative, so far
as dealers in original packages were concerned,
before the enactment of the Wilson bill, it was
never law and the Wilson bill cannot mako
the State law effective in that class of cases.
Although no formal opinion was expressed
by either Judge Foster or Judge Phillips, who
listened to the arguments, both practically adj
mitted their tenability and It IL conceded that
even IL the court decides the new law constitu-
tional it cannot be effective until the Legisla-
ture passes another prohibitory measure.
