Meeting of the Subcommittee are Per-
manent Organization.
PHILADELPHIA, July 1.-THE sub
committee on permanent organization
of the Worlds Fair Commission met
yesterday morning at the Continental
Hotel. The following members of the
committee were present: Judge j. A.
McKinzie, of Kentucky, chairman of
the committee; A. r. Ewing, of Chica-
go; j. II. Breslin, of New York; p. A.
Weidner, of this city, and NJ. B. Harri-
son, of Duluth.

in that undertaking.
Mr.. Wiedner stated that he had had
an interview in New York with Gen
eral Goshorn, who was director-general
of the Centennial Exhibition, and that
General Goshorn said he would be here
on Monday to meet the Commission.
Mr.. Wiedner also said that he inform
ally broached to General Goshorn the

seem to look upon the proposition with
much favor. The proposition to make

WAGES AND PROTECTION.
Facts from the Wage Tables of the Mas
sa' 'huset:s Labor Reports.

Facts from the Wage Tables of the Mas
sa'husetss Labor Reports
The wage tables of the MaSsachu-
setts Labor Reports are always interest
ing reading for the light they throw on
a good many mooted questions. They
are especially interesting for the light
they throw on the proposition so conf
IDENTIFY made that the tariff increases
wages. A comparison of the wages paid
in some of the highly protected indus
tries with those paid in the industries
which enjoy little or no protection
shows that the claim so often made in
behalf of the tariff is utterly untenable.
The paper industry, for instance, en-
joys less protection than any other
great industry of Massachusetts,. In
the wages tables of the labor report IS
per cent of the employees in this indus
try are represented. OF these it appears
that nearly so per cent get $40 and up
wards per week while nearly 25 per
cent get SIS per week and upwards.
The woolen industry, on the other
hand, is one of the most highly pro-
tected. If the tariff has the effect
claimed for it of raising the wages of
labor in the protected industry the
wages in the woolen industry ought to
be much higher than the wages in the
scantily protected paper industry. In
of fact they are not higher. They are
much lower. Instead of so per cent. get
ting over $40 a week, as in the paper in
dustry, only 81 per cent get that rate.
And instead of 25 per cent getting SIS
and over, as in the paper industry, the
number in the woolen industry getting
that rate is only per cent.
The contrast is quite as marked when
the lower wages in both industries are
compared. In the paper industry the
proportion of the workmen reported re-
ceiving less than s. a week is about 10
per cent. while less than 40 per cent
get under S.. In woolens % per cent get

The Wrong OK Gored This FINE.

1t makes a good deal of difference
whose State it is when it Is question
of State rights. Kansas Republicans
have had a great deal to say in the past
about 1.-The damnable heresy Of State
rights" and the outrage Of any opposi-
tion to Federal authority. But when
the Federal courts decide that the Fed
eral constitution, in the absence of
legislation by Congress, allows liquors
to be imported into Kansas and sold in
the original packages" Kansas Re-
publicans resent the interference Of
Federal authority with State affairs,
and some of them even go so far as to
declare that they will not stand it The
Hutchinson News talks in this strain:
1T means that the Supreme Court OF the
United States has declared that State
has no right to regulate her internal
affairs unless by special act of Con-
gress. For the time being it means
hell. But our State will not submit to
the outrage without the bitterest fight
known in the annals OF Kansas history"
Probably, however, Kansas viii hnalg
submit without the necessity of sending
the United States army to compei her
obedience TO the Federal constitution.

PENN SYLVANIA'S SHAME.
Boss Quay and the Fellow He Nominated
for Governor.


Senator Quay ordered the Pennsyl-
vania Republican convention to nomi-
nate George w. Delamater for Governor
Of the State, and the convention has
done his bidding Its members have
crooked the pregnant hinges of the
knee" before Quay, and proclaimed with
effusion that by his career in State and
National politics 'he has won and re-
tains'' their respect and confidence"
Who then is Senator Quay? He is a
man who has been publicly and specific
ally charged with the embezzlement of
large sums from the State Treasury of
Pennsylvania The World has repeated
ly challenged him to meet the charge
with libel suit, as any man not demon
strably guilty would have done at once.
The reputable newspapers of his own
party have demanded that he should re-
fute the charge for the party's sake IL
not for his own. And yet he has re-
mained persistently silent, not even
whispering denial. Silence in such
a case is confession.
This is the man who orders the Re-
publicans Of Pennsylvania to make
George w. Delamater Governor. Who,
| then, is George w. Delamater?
He is man who has been publicly,
distinctly and solemnly charged by
responsible citizen of Pennsylvania,
ex-senator Emery, with specific acts Of
bribery, forgery and perjury, and,
though challenged by his accuser and
urged by the press Of his own party to
meet and refute these accusations, he
has not only not called his accuser to
account in the courts, but has made no
denial and shown no shame. Silence in
such a case is confession.
This is the shameful situation. What
are the reputable Republicans of Penn
sylvania going to do about it?-N. Y.

Turlington's Confession.

SEDALIA, Mo, July 19.-When it was
learned that Sheriff Ellis Smith, who
helped bring about the arrest of Temple
for the Pryor Creek robbery, had in his
possession a full written confession
made by burlington, he was asked to
give it out for publication. This was
was refused. 1t was learned, however,
that Turlington's confession corrobo-
rated that made by Temple, except that
Temple was made out the leader and he
(Turlington) was but an instrument in
Temples hands All the details of the
robbery agree. Both men deny posi-
lively that they had any thing to do
with the Wells-Fargo robbery,
