If it be benefit-as undoubtedly it
is-to South America, Cuba and San
Domingo to be relieved from tariff taxes
on staple necessaries of their people, says
the New York World, why would not the
same amount of free trade benefit the
United States? If the tariff be not a tax
on consumers, why are these foreign
people congratulated on getting Ameri-
can products free of duty? Are foreign
ers better than our own people that they
should be relieved by American diplo-
macy OF tariff burdens, while our own
duties are heaped 33 per cent. higher +?
If a limited free trade with our poorest
customers is so great gain, would not a
freer trade with our richer, greater and
far better customers be a more desirable
thing2 These questions concern the
people.

HIGH tariffs were imposed says the
Harrisburg Patriot so that manufacturers
might be enabled to pay the differences
between the wages of Europe and Amer
lea and successfully compete with the
foreign manufacturers. Itwas said that
this difference would go into the pockets
of the workingmen and not those of the
manufacturers. Yet the fat is being
fried out Pennsylvania manufacturers,
who, a distinguished Republican says,
receive the chief benefits of the tariff
system" The manufacturer insures his
profits and his campaign contributions
by in turn frying the fat out of his en-
ployees. That is what the tariff system
was created for.

The Crops Will be Great.

DULUTH, Mimi, July 31-Reports
from the west continue to bring most
favorable advices as to the wheat crop.
The Van Dusen-Harrington company
say: "Al our correspondents send us
most encouraging reports. At Lisbon,
n. D., where they had drought last
year, there is plenty of moisture, the
wheat is filling out well, and the largest
crop for many years is promised. From
all parts of the Red River Valley we
hear the same story, as well as from the
region between the Red River Valley and
DEVILS Lake"
Spencet. Moore & Co, say: eve have
the best of reports from all over the
northwest. We hear the promise of
nothing but enormus crops. The grain
is late, and harvesting will not be general
throughout North Dakota until the 18th
or 10th of next month. The only things
that need be feared are too much rain
and early frost. Think Minnesota and
Dakota will have 10, 200, 900 to u.s.
0O0, 900 bushels
Nearly every other report received
here is of similar nature, whether from
elevator companies, agents of grain
firms, farmers or crop experts.

GOVERNOR PATTIsoS has sent letter TO
Secretary of the Treasury Foster setting
forth the loss to the state and city of
Philadelphia through the failure of the
Keystone National bank and requesting
that the receiver of the bank be author
lied to permit the Governor to appoint a
committee of three or five experts to ex-
anime the books and papers, accounts,
etc, of the bank with view of receiv-
ing, if possible, the money of the COM
monwealth. The Governor suggests that
the authority for the examination be
limited to the funds passing through the
hands of John Bardsley as the treasurer
of Philadelphia and agent of the COM
monwealth. The letter states that as an
examination is being made into the ac-
counts by experts designated by Mayor
Stewart and the Philadelphia council
committee, the Governor thinks that a
like investigation should be made on be-
half of the commonwealth so that he
may obtain the desired information as
easily as possible and in the manner in
dicated.

A WRITER in the .Nouataiaeer. who
signs himself Veteran - and in bad verse
undertakes to make It's readers believe
that foreign nations, instead OF the peo-
pie, pay the taxes squandered IN lndls-
crimina,e pensions and who believes THAI
all the government has 70 do TO make
good times is to lavishly spend money IN
pensions, is hardly worth answering.
His theory that
For with plenty OF money amongst the
the people,
| ,Tis az plain TO DC seen as a high church
steeple!
| Then the people have power, wealth and
ease;
And the upper milestone doth lightly
/ will do very well for those who are draw
| ing the Doodle, bat for those who are
paving it for the sake of having 1t scat
tered, the boot is on the other leg.
Everything we eat, drink and wear is
taxed in some shape or form by the gov
ernment; the tax may be SO far distant
and cunningly laid that we do not see
it. but cut of every dollar earned we con-
tribute forty cents to the expenses OF
government and the power, wealth and
ease'' of some one who does not earn 1t
and the people who pay are entitled to
have these enforced contributions hon
estly spent.
That a nation can tax itself rich and by
spending the money thus raised In in
discriminate pensions give the people
sspower, wealth and ease'' is theory that
is only understood by the beneticiaries
of the injustice. 1t may give man
''power. wealth and ease'' to spend the
money earned and contributed by his
neighbors, but the man who believes
that the proper person to spend a dollar
is the man who earns it, cannot see II In
the same light.
No one will object to an honest pen
sion bill, literally pensioning veterans
honestly entitled to receive the govern
ment's bounty but when it comes to
looting the treasury under the name of
patriotism, it is time to call a halt.
Every community has its pension frauds
known to be frauds-and it should be
the duty of honest and deserving pen
sioners to denounce the laws that waste
on the scalawags what should only be-
long to the honest veterans.

Murderer Sawtelle to Hang.

Isaac Sawtelle, the notorious New
Hampshire murderer, must hang. On
Friday the Sepreme Court, in full bench
overruled all the prisoners exceptions,
which were, prejudiced jury, previously
expressed opinions, and lack of jurisdic-
ton.
Sawtelle was charged with enticing his
brother into New Hampshire, by report
ing that his little daughter was i'll, and
intercepting and numbering him on the
way, in order to inherit his property
The evidence was largely circumstantial.
The alleged body of the murdered man
never was satisfactory identified, because
the hea d never was found.

81 BELIEVE the most threatening figure
which to-day stands in the way of safety
of our government and the happiness OF
our people is reckless aad wicked extray-
agance in our public expenditures. II is
the most fatal of all the deadly brood
born OF Government perversion. 1t
hides beneath its wings the betrayal of
the peoples trust and holds powerless in
its fascinating glance the peoples will
and conscience. Its further and most
lamentable effect is to be seen in the
readiness of the masses of our people,
TO accustom themselves to that derelic-

Potter County Alarmed.

BRADFORD, Aug. 4.-Potter county is

ravages of a worm that is destroying the
foliage and killing off the hemleck tim
Der, A remarkable scene is presented in
the ''choppings" where the bark peelers
are at work. The worms are swarming
about the men by the millions, while on
all the trees from Coudersoprt to Port
Allegheny, miles and miles of trees are
turning brown and ruin is threatened to
the vast lumber interest of that section
The worm that is doing the damage is
of the measuring worm" species about
an inch long and barely an eighth of an

Hazel, Elk county, and from the east

quent mercantile taxes in Philadelphia,
City Treasurer Wright having shown him
that it costs from 81 to So TO collect 81

The next change in President Harri-

Secretary Noble from the head of the
Interior Department. Mr.. Noble sent
his resignation to President Harrison
four months ago. This information is
from official sources and it is correct.
The reason the secretary assigns for Civ

THE WHIPPING POST SOLD.
Delaware's Stocks for Punishment to b
Exhibited at the Worlds Fair.

Delaware's Stocks for Punishment to Be
Exhibited at the Worlds Fair.
A special dispatch from Wilmington, Del,
says: The Jail commissioners of this county
have sold the whipping post and pilory in the
New Castle Jail yard, and it has just been as
certained that it is the intention Of the pur-
in Chicago in 1898.
The old post has done service since 1857.
Probably no woman had ever been fogged at
the post. but numbers had stood in the pillory
The ''cat, savage whip with nine heavy thongs
which has also been in service for over thirty
years, goes to make up part OF the exhibit. 1t
is proposed to set the old stocks up in Chicago
as curiosity that cannot be seen in America
outside Of Delaware
The Jail commissioners sold the stocks for
hre wood, they being old and out of repair. A
resident OF the town purchased them.
A new post and pillory has been erected in
the place of the one disposed Of Pulpit lee
turers, newspaper and magazine writer's and
prison reform Representatives have presented
them to public gaze in neat pictures. There
has been protest after protest entered by
humane societies against the use Of the lash and
rack, but they have not been needed. except
that public sentiment has modified the severity
OF the application Of the heavy lash. Delaware
will not give up this mode of punishment for
many years at least, it being recognized as
species OF penalty which makes a lasting i'm
preston upon a culprit. big Frank" "Jem-
ME Hope" and their craftsmen pals were all
whipped and pilloried at the old post for at
tempting to crack the Delaware Bank, and the
efficacy OF the mode of punishment as a pre-
ventive measure is attested by the fact that
that was the only big job the cracksmen have
undertaken here in quarter of a century.

Pacific Forced to Resign.
General Traffic Manager Leeds of the Mis-

day by the advisory board Of the Western
Traffic Association, in session in New York, Of
violating its provisions. He will turn over his
office to the manager Of the road, s. H. H.
Clark. More significant was Mr.. Gould's re-
pudiation of the Missouri Pacific's sugar tariff
with incidental offer to resign the presi-
dency of that road if any charges could be
made and proven against himself.
1t was also resolved by the board
First. That the life of the association be ex-
tended for q fixed term, say until January l,
1885,
Second. That the commissioners Of the asso-
citation prepare plan for the establishment Of
joint agencies.
Third. That the commissioners report on the
advisObility Of the division by percentages Of
competitive tonnage.
Il do not admit the justice of my sentence"
said Mr.. Leeds. Il issued the sugar tariff on
my own responsibility for reasons that seemed
to me to justify that course. The board would
not admit the presentation of these reasons,
and SO am found guilty. did not make that
tariff to get sugar, and, in fact. did not get it,
That tariff is still in effect and yet much more
than half of the sugar tonnage goes over other
lines that are supposed to have lived up to the
agreement"

CONSUL CORTE's INDIGNATION.

He Addresses . Letter to the New Orleans
Grand Jury IN Regard to Their Report.
signor Pasquale Corts, the italian consul at
New Orleans, addressed letter yesterday to
the grand jury, in which he says he is sur
prised to see printed in the report Of that
honorable body q great alteration Of certain
parts of his statements made before it. He
adds: THE studied reticence and other irregu-
arities will never destroy the truth Of the facts
in the case, which denounced to my govern
ment, viz, that extra Judicial body, ap-
pointed by the mayor from the beginning pre-
meditated, as it appeared in its appeal, the
killing of the prisoners; that the same body
assembled on the night of March 10 to take in
cold blood the necessary steps to kill for politi-
cal purposes. defenseless but dreaded adverse
ries; that about twenty parties among them some
representing the law and order, executed said
project preventing before the commission Of
the deed the admission into the prison of the
large crowd of children, women and others
gathered there through curiosity; that innO-
cent blood was she'd; that not only nothing was
done by the authorities to prevent it, but few
officials contributed directly or indirectly in
order to accomplish the work. and. finally, that
the names of participants in the killing as we'll
those of the instigators are of public noto-
rietv.r
Signor Corte also sent letter to United
States Attorney VIM. Grant, in which he claims
that all but two of the men killed were subjects
of the King of Italy, and that of the nineteen
indicted for the murder Of Chief Hennessy
fourteen of them were Italian subjects. This
letter to Mr.. Grant is important, AS it will no
doubt be basis for any action the Italian gov
ernment may take to recover damages should
such a course be contemplated.

famous Syrian inventor, whose nephew he is,
to establish new industry. Mousa recently
disssctsd the silk worm aud found that the
stomach contained the hbers Of leaves and

believe that silk could be produced independ-
ent of the silk worm, and after many failures
evolved process for manufacturing silk from
the leaves and twigs Of the mulberry tree, and
has sent his nephew to this country to start q
factory, which win probably b started in ths
