iaries u mention one single act Of the
Democratic party during the past thirty
sears which has passed into law and
upou which rests the prosperity Of the
Nation. No nation Of the world has mad
s1ch prosperity. The Democracy has had
small part in building fires in FORCES and
furnaces OF in turning the wheels Of ma
ch:nery or starting up the spindles.o
thousands of factories or opening Up q
planting the rich acres for harvesting.
gui democrats have stood by and wrung
their hands in grief over .'the enormous
surplus in the treasury and bewailed re
selis in which they had no part in max
ing. SiIaiing in the Naiion's prosperity,
they have been chronic grumblers. To-
day, II they had the power, they would
bear 10 touch the financial and banking
system. the best the world has ever seen.
And yei they did their best as party TO
defeat lis enactment. They wonld wreck

does not require any great wisdom TO
wreck. The yerssi iubben could pull

Sugar and Wool.

From the y. y. Press.
In these two items in the Mckinley tariff
bill. the spirit in which it was framed is
most foTcibly demonstrated. Everybody
uses sugar. The tariff on il has not built
mp the industry in this country SO as to
meet the consumption and by competition
keep down the price. The removal of the
duty Is therefore direct relief to every
household in the land, and by the bounty
system we still encourage sugar production
to go on The duty cut OF amounts to
S5G0o0.o00. or about 81 per capita for the
entire population.
The sgriculiarists Of the country com.
prise nearly one half the entire population
and wool growing is one Of their greatest
lines of production. II has been crippled
By the importation Of cheap woods, and the
duty has been raised SO that the industr,
may be pushed vigorously. Thus the vsst
body Of men who are engaged in industrial
pursuits are protected in their largest single
Industry. These two features of the bill
illustrate its general character so clearly
that "he who runs may read" in it the pur
pose of its authors to make it a genuine pro
lection measure for all the people.

A SAVAGE REPLY TO THR Ex-
pR@stpEHTsS ATTACK.
Seventeenth csntur, English From
Modern EDITOR


NER ok April - TIE long smoal.
dering war between Charles A. Dana and ex-
President Cleveland has broken out afresh.
In reply to Mr. Cevelands savage attack,
the following appears in the editorial col
umns OF To- days SHa
erhe Stuffed Prophet Of William street in
! a rage Of wounded vanity. Is thus reported
/ There is only one thing. Mr.. Cleveland re-
sumed. and 3 tender expression lit up his
fAee, that care anything about in these at
iacks. They are not confined 10 myself. II
seenss that the senile oana docs not cosfne
his warfare TO men. Women are no. free
from his dastardiy assaults. Mrs. Cleveland
has not escaped. IL is bal enough for Dana
to print his lying statements regarding my
self; but it is infinitely more cowardly and
das,ardly for him 10 include. as be has done
my wife in his attacks. Nothing could be
more contemplate or 50 far removed from
all instincts Of manhood
10 no hab:tual reader of the Sun" Mr..
Dana continues, lis 1t necessary to say that
this is cowardly lie II is not less lie
because it is uttered by man who hss been
President Of the United States. It is not less
cowardly because II proceeds from hus-
band whose inferiority in social, moral and
intellectual qualities is recognized by all
who know the admirable woman linked to
him by the name they bear in common
Passing over the BLACKBOARD epithets in
which the halfdrunken deputy sheriff reap
pears and finds his only possible retort we
come to this more serious matter. To pro-
woke sympathy for himself Mr.. Cleveland
deliberately drags the name of his wife into
an interview intended for publication, charg-
ing the Ssa, with an Ofiense which, il the
charge is true. ought TO render this news
paper odious to every gentleman on Man
haitian Island. to every honorable man who
respects womanhood The charge is false
aud Mr. Cleveland knew it was false when
| he uttered it.
There is but one answer that We care to
make. We invite Mr.. Cleveland to point to
line or word that ever appeared in the
San concerning the good woman whose
name be thus degrsdes which justifes di-
rectly or indirectly. the statement contained
in tue paragraph quoted above. Ii he can
/ not do that-and he cannot-we invite the
sttention of the community TO the portrait
of a selfish poltroon. an unworthy husband,
/ about whose condncl in this affair nothing
can be said by any person of sensitive per-
cep;ions that will not leave on the coarse
and swollen face peeping from behind the
edge Of his wiie's garments red mark like

After a Pension for Col. Leasure's
Widow.


Congressman Craig, Of the Westmoreland
District. has introduced bill in the House
allowing a pension Of S25 month to the
widow of Colonel Leasure, of the famous
Roundhesd regiment The case is pc
culiar one inasmuch as the applicant for
Government relief is the widow of two sol
diers Of the late war. Her first husband
was Robert Warden Major Of the Twenty
eighth Pennsylvania Volunteers. who was
killed in battle.
Mrs. Warden drew pension for several
years as the widow Of Major Warden She
then married Colonel Leasure and thereby
forfeited her pension as the widow Of her
former husband. In 1870 Colonel Leasure
died from natural causes, since which time
she has been compelled to support herself
Captain Craig, who is member of the Com
miItee on Invalid Pensions, when he learned
OF the facts in the case interested himself to
the extent Of introducing bill for Mrs
Leasure's relief. believing it to be meri-
torious case. He says the bill will be favor
ably reported by the Committee.

The Pittsburgh Dispatch says editorially:
The news concerning the resuscitation ofthe
South Penn Railroad is the best and most
encouraging that Pittsburgh has had in this
connection for a long while. There is a
brighter prospect for new railroad link be-
tween this city and the Eastern seaboard
than anyone has ventured Of late to look for
among the ruins of the projected South
Penn. That an earnest effort is to be made
to build new railroad between Philadel-
phia and Pitlsburg may be taken as a fact.
The circumstances OF the fact are rather
nebulous as yet.
A month ago the startling report came
from Fulton county that the South Psnn
Railroad, its franchises and other assets had
been sold TO George +. Baer, at SherifIs
sale. This was the first act in the new deal.
Since then variety OF runors concerning
the plans Of Mr.. Baer and those supposed To
be behind him have been afioat They cui-
minated yesterday in the we'll authenticated
statement which is given in this issue The
railroad is reorganized under the title of the
South Penn Railway Company and its
capital stock is set at twenty millions of dol
lars. The Board of Directors is significant
ly representative of powerful interests. The
Reading Railroad is represented in the Presi-
dent OF the new corporation. Mr.. BAer; the
Nanderbilts are supposed with good reason
TO have two directors in the board Messrs.
Bangs and Stetson, the welI-known New
York lawyers with whom Mr.. Cleveland
is associated. These appear TO be the pre-.
pondersnt powers in the company. The
connection Of the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad with the project lends substantial
ity to It. In other ways the Reading road
has shown determination to obtain a
Western outlet. Extensions of the Reading
system now Ia course Of construction will
lend themselves readily to the new enter
prise. Ii is said that large portion of the
South Penn Railroad is already in an ad-
vanced stage of construction, and apparent
ly no serious obstacle exists TO the rapid CON-
pletion of the entire line as already sur
yeyed.
The need for the South Penn or some
other competitive railroad grows as Pitts
burg grows. The progress Of the revived
project will be watched eagerly and closely
by Pitssburehers. The behavior OF those in.
serested in the garroting OF new railroads
will not DC overlooked either
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1890-04-23

When the above statements were men
toned 10 Mr.. Baer this evening he declined
to make any comment upon them or to
state what his future course will be. 1t is
worthy of notice in this connection that the
Reading in constructing its western connec-
ton al Harrisburg has been obliged to build
piers OF its own across the Su>quehanns,
having been prevented from using those OF
the. South Penn by the interference of the
Pennsylvania

rHK orrosIrIox's eRY.

1t is said by the opposition that the speedy
completion of the road is improbable on ae-
count Of the disturbance il would create in
the trunk line situation. The Vanderbilts,
through the New York Central, the Ralli-
more and Ohio, which is link Of the Read
ing. and the Pennsylvania, are all interested
in this. There is sal to be the greatest DIFF
ficulty in securing an entrance 10 Pitisburg
for the new line, and that il would have to
use the terminal of one of the other roads,
II is admitted. however. that ifthe Reading
has sn ambition to get an independent west
ern outlet the 5 auth Penn offers the best
