The proposal under discussion at Har.
risburg to establish by law haf-holidav
on Saturday should be regarded in the
light OF such experience as other com.
munltles have undergone, 1t is an ex-
pertinent which some think will work
very well, while others are convinced i,
will only result in waste of time. Before
deciding either for Or against the experi.
ment, why not ask others who have
tried it as to results. Our neighbors Of
New York have been indulging in Sat.
urday half-holiday for several years
past; why not inquire of them how they
like 1t as far as they have got? There
are, undoubtedly, advantages as well as
disadvantages to be looked for; but il is
reasonable to presume that the practical
working of the Half-holiday law in New
York has demonstrated preponderance
OF loss or of gain by this time, and it
should be comparatively easy matter
TO ascertain whether the majority of the
people affected by the law are satisfied
or dissatisfied with its operation. 1t will
at least do no harm to ask.-E.r.

The ''Pluck-Me Stores"

The rapacious company store system
for defrauding miners and other work
ingmen has never operated SO eXten-
sively in Pennsylvania as at the present
time, and there never was less preteXt
for it. With the increase of importa-
tions of labor from Russian Poland and
other portions of Eastern Europe into
the mining regions, the "pluck-me
store" system has been so much eX-
tended that cash payments of wages are
becoming rare exceptions.
Through carelessness or by design the
law requiring semi monthly payments
of wages in cash provides no adequate
means of enforcement; and as mine
owners and manufacturers fear no pen
atty, they treat the law with contempt.
BY the company store system they are
enabled to filch not less than 20 per cent.
from the workingmen who are subjected
to it. What makes the system all the
more cruel and demoralzing is the fact
that forehanded workingmen who de-
mand payment in cash find it difficult to
obtain employment where the 'pluck-me
stores" exist Thus penalty is put upon
economy and thrift, and premium
(such as it is) is given to the unthrifty
who are willing to spend their wages at
the company store and ask no questions
about prices and qualities of commod-
tiles. In truth, the victims of this
system, whose currency is a monthly
pass-book, rarely learn the cash prices
of commodities.
An amendment is before the Legis-
lature to cure the defects in the present
law, so as to enable workingmen in the
mines and manufactures of Pennsyl-
vania to receive their wages in cash.
This amendment ought to be passed. 1t
is true that the Supreme Court of Penn
sylvania has decided that such legisla-
ton is in violation of the right of private
contract. But Courts make progress
with the rest of the community. This
company store system for tlching honest
labor of its earnings is as much in viola
ton of public policy as would be con-
tract to pay an election bet or liquor
bill. When II workingman earns his
wages he should be paid in cash, accord
ing to contract, and not in store truck at
20 per cent advance on cash prices. Let
this amendment be passed again and
again, if necessary, until the Courts shall
recognize that the company store system
is in violation of public policy, and
therefore no longer to be tolerated in
Pennsylvania.-Phla Record.

The House Committee on Post Offices
and Post Roads-the same committee
which deferred and delayed action on
the Louisiana Lottery bill until its Chair
man, General Bingham, yielded to rising
public indignation-has defeated pos
tai telegraph in the present Congress by
laying the bill providing for it on the
table by 6 to 5.
This ends this reform now. Neither
public sentiment nor public need, neither
facts nor arguments, neither the plea of
the Postmaster General nor the pressure
of newspapers has availed with the COM
mittee. After months of delay, which
brought the measure to point where its
passage was well-nigh impracticable, the
committee has summarily defeated it.
However public opinion may demand
this measure, this avails nothing
within the narrow circle of f'the House
Post Office Committee, where the in
tluences opposed to this great reform are
potent to stop it.
This has gone on long 1t will not go
on forever. Twenty years have passed
since this subject was first agtated fif-
teen years since Nh. Scudamore's pur-
chase of the English line set the example,
and ten since the success of this purchase
decided most thinking men in favor of a
Government telegraph. The decade has
seen steady advance in the demand
Wanamaker has gone further than
any previous Postmaster General in urg-
ing it. He has proposed a speedy
method of beginning this great
reform. 1t involves no expense for
plant and adds nothing to patronage. 1t
simply enables the Government to use
telegraph lines for messages as it now
uses railroads for the transportation of
letters and newspapers by contracting
for their delivery. Such plan leaves
in the hands of private parties the profit.
able ownership of the telegraph plant Of
the country. These owners have seen
fit to defeat the plan.
The Government may decide some
day to open its own telegraph lines.
There is no contract, express or implied
topreventit. Free competition, as Gould
and the telegraph monopoly are always
saying, can be trusted to protect the
public. The public will suddenly CON
clude that it can, and set to work to pro-
vide it.
This has always been the history of
the past. When moderate reforms are
rejected more drastic reforms succeed
THIS rejection is the most unwise step
which could have been taken in the in
terest of existing telegraph companies.

Only One Year More to Live.

Experience shows that the American
people rarely occupy themselves with
more than one great political question at
time. The tariff issue is in the door,
and there it will remain until brought to
permanent settlement in harmony with
! public interest and opinions. In the next
| House one or more measures removing
tariff burdens and iniquities will be
passed by an overwhelming majority and
sent to the Senate. Whether the SEN
ate shall concur in the action of the
House by narrow majority or not,
| Tariff Reform will be the overshadowing
issue in 1892. The Republicans cannot
escape from the issue if they would, and
the Democrats would not if they could.
1t would be rash, of course, to base any
political circulations on so ill-defned an
element as the Farmers Alliance. But
it may be safely assumed that the West.
ern farmers will not return to the Re.
publican party while the tariff issue
shall remain undermined. As to the
South, the Republicans have kindly ar
rested the danger of Democratic disinte-
grafton in that region by interposing the
Force bill. Should the Farmers ALI
ance, however, organize third party, il
might possibly carry enough Western
States to throw the election for President
into the next House, where the Demo-
Gratis would have an easy victory. But
with Tariff Reform as the paramount
issue, and with no blunders in the next
Congress to provoke popular reaction,
the prospect is that the Republican party
will be as completely annihilated in 1899
as was its Wig predecessor forty wears
ago. In the new political alignment that
would then take place no necessity would
arise for organizing third party in op-
position to the Democracy. The new
party would step into the place left
vacant by the Repubicans.-Record

The question of restricting immigra-
tion is as interesting as it is puzzling.
How to keep out the Objectionable and
to admit the desirable immigrants, or
rather how to tell who are and who are
not Objectionable is not an easy matter
by any means. Noparticular nationality
can be put down as totally desirable or
totally undesirable, but it is fact that
as rule the people of one country make
better citizens than the people of another,
and the figures of 1890 seem to show that
the generally undesirable immigrants are
increasing in numbers while the gene
rally desirable immigrants are decreas-
ing. The serious aspect of the situation
is that the tide of German, English,
Scotch, Swiss and Scandinavian arrivals
have been checked, while the Slavic and
Italian tide is decidedly on the increase.
There are many good people among the
Italians and Siavunic emigrants, but the
percentage Of bad is much larger than il
is among the others mentioned.
In round numbers, 49l 900 immigrants
landed in this country in $780, an in
crease of Ga, 600 over the total of the pre-.
ceding year. Italy sent $4,000, an in.
crease of considerably over 100 per cent;
Poland contributed 10000, an increase
of 5000 over 1889, while Hungary gaineo
over 9,0O0 Russia 1000, Austria 6,50C
and Bohemia over 5000. The tota
gains from these countries were about
10000, or 10000 more than the net gair
on the entire immigration from all tn,
countries combined. The falling of
was of English, Irish, Scotch, Neither
Ianders and Swiss, while that of Ger
many just about held its own, with ;
total of $4,000. These figures show tha
the increase in immigration last yeai
was among the people whom we have
considered less desirable. .-Phila. CAL.

a Harrisburg correspondent of Phila-
delphia paper gives warning that strong
effort will be made by the corporations
to defeat the Constitutional Convention,
by which the proposed reform in ballot
ing can only be effected thoroughly
H. says
There is powerful public and political
sentiment behind the demand for Con
stitutional Convention, but there is a
silent and still more powerful opposition
against 1t, which comes from the corpor-
alton power of the State. Corporations
don't like the tinkering with the organic
law of the State. The Constitution of
IA was never wanted by them, and
they did their level best and squandered
great many thousand dollars to beat it
at the polls. They employed the highest
legal talent to pick it to pieces; they sub
sidlzed the newspapers to cast doubt up
on it, and in Philadelphia they organized
one of the most colossal schemes of
election villainy the world has probably
ever seen to count it out. The people
were for the new Constitution, however,
gang was simply overwhelmed and
buried.
One of the most potent factors that
is working in the direction of con-
stitutional convention is the cry for bal
lot reform. If this is not given the peo-
pie by this Republican Legislature the
Republican party is destined to feel it
materially. But if corporation power,
which is higher than the dictum of the
politicians, is opposed to a convention
there will be none. A number of radi-
cal changes are demanded in the present
constitutions Among these is the elimin-
alton of the system of ballot numbering,
so that the Australian system can be in
troduced. The system of biennial Leg
islatures should be abolished so that
there shall be a short session every year,
and the present representation of the
House cut down somewhat. The old
system of special legislation should be
restored, so that it would be possible to
pass law that only has bearing upon
a certain locality without making it apply
to the entire State.
State Chairman Kerr is taking a keen
interest in the proposition for a conven-
ton, and has been here and looked over
the ground He has reached the con-
clusion that the House will largely favor
it, but that it will be halted in the Senate.
The Democrats will vote almost toa man
for the convention, and the responsibility
for its defeat, if it shall be defeated, will
rest upon the Republican party.

The Williamsport san says: When the
Lehigh once gets into the city they will
not stop here. The Company have large
interests i'm Clcarfield, jefferson and Cam
bria counties which they will reach sooner
or later. By building branch road for
seven or eight miles TO connect with the
Beech Creek near Snow Shoe the Lehigh
will opeau a large tract of valuable coal
land, while an exteution of the Beck
Creek from kerrmoor up Chest Creek will
give them access to the large coal tract
along that creek heretofore undeveloped.
The contract for this latter construction
will be let in few weeks, and it will be
built as rapidly az possible. The road will
pass through Mahaffey, LaJose and West
over. The length OF the road VIII be
thirty -four miles, and a tunnel 1000 feet
long will be necessary. The Company eX-
pect to have the road completed by July,
1892. The entire route will pass through
one of the best coal and timber territories
in the state.
The Company, Gen. McGee, Patton, Dill
&ICo., own several thousand acres of very
valuable coal land near Marks Mill, Cam
bria county, which they will operate very
extensively for years to come. The first
year 1t is expected that 100000 tons of coal
will be mined.
