cover possibly 3 per cent. of the South
ern daily newspaper circulation. If we
go out of the list of the Southern Press
Association, and take those who are sup
piled by the Western Associated Press
and other agencies, we have the aspect
changed very materially but not to the
advantage of Hill. All the four daiies
OF Memphis are opposed to him; the
three in Nashville and three in Louis
vile are in the same position The Gal
weston NeTs and Dallas Ners, by all odds
the two ablest and most influential Jour
nails OF Texas, have no use for Hill He
has no journalistic backing in Missouri

absnrdlty of the claims of Hill strength

to one, for Cleveland's nomination first
and after him they are for anybody but

The bill to provide for constitutions
amendment which will enable United
States Senators to be chosen by direct
vote of the people will be favorably re
ported to the House at an early date
from the committee. The only question
now before the committee, apparently
is whether the proposed amendment
shall make it obligatory on the States to
elect Senators by a direct vote, or
whether the matter shall be left optional
with the State.
II is claimed by some of the member
of the committee that should the matter
be left optional party might, on some
other question, get temporary control OF
a State Government, and then change
the law and elect a Senator by the Legis.
ldture when the people never intended
that such change should be made. A
part of the committee think that the
proposed amendment should compel
every State to elect its Senators in the
same manner as other States. But it il
thought if the matter was left optional
there would be better chance of getting
the Senate to concur in the proposed
legislation. The committee is vet t.
reach decision on this point. There l.
no expectation that the Senate will agre,
to such bill at this time; but it il
thought that the discussion and agitation
of the question will bring about the
necessary change in the sentiment at the
Senate wing. When this amendment to
the constitution is made, and it must
come sooner or later, the higher branch
of Congress will not contain men like
Quay, Cameron, Hill, German and these
political demagogues.

The records of judicial proceedings in
this CommonH ealth probably do not con-
tain parallel or precedent for the extra
| ordinary charge and sentence with
which Judge Wickham declared his
sense of the gravity of the offense COM
mitted by two gentlemen who as editor
and as proprietor of little known paper
the Beaver Stdr-were convicted of a
libel upon Senator Quay 1t is parti-
cularly unfortunate that such an unheard-
of penalty for an offense of this character
should come from the neighborhood In
which Mr.. Quay lives, and in which he
is supposed to control the political for
tunes of every public office, elective or
otherwise. If it be true, as asserted,
that the prosecuting attorneys, the jury,
and the Judge were all of one political
faith, that also is unfortunate. These
things are to be regretted, for the case
of Mr.. Quay was one where the absence
of the possibility of suspicion of partisan
prejudice would have added to the force
of his vndication, which was certain in
any event. But the criticism of the
punishment inflicted upon these erring
and possibly Contumacious citizens will
not be measured by any political stand
ard. To send these men to Jail for six
nOntnS Is INDUSTRIOUS lnlnS 10 attempt
to do, and we do not believe there is
respectable newspaper in Pennsylvania
that would undertake to defend such
sentence. There have been times when
such a thing would have lifted com
munity into rebellion, as was the crude
method of popular assertion of protest
against severity which luns beyond the
bounds of justice. We are a more com
placent people now, but it is against
every idea of American fair play and
American independence to permit judi
cial penalties to be governed by personal
feeling. The Beaver Star is a Demo
cratic newspaper and the North Ameri-
can has nothing of affiiation with its
politics or the political opinions of Mr..
John A. Mellon and Mr.. w. II. Porter,
who have conducted it. But the North
american has no excuses for sycophancy
or for vindictiveness.
The above, which is taken from the
Philadelphia North american, a paper
that is more Republican than the Re-
publican party, shows the feeling with
| which the sentence is regarded. Ameri-
can newspapers will differ more or less
upon every question brought before the
public, but when an outrage upon justice
is committed they are generally found in
solid opposition against it.

The ballot reform bill, passed by
the last Legislature, has apparently
been mangled in transcription in a
way that looks as though it had been
deliberately altered, as cover for
frauds it was intended to prevent.
The law, as transcribed, reads:
Each voters name shall not be
checked on the voting check list, etc,
the word mot" having been inter
polated. Although it is obvious that
the mot" should not be there, and
that 1t was not so passed by the
House, yet the Committee t. Compare
Bills signed it with that unfortunate
word IN the transcript, it was certi-
ned to the Governor, and he also
signed it. That little word may do
much mischief. In the districts
where the officers desire to cheat they
can follow the law literally, and thus
open the door to repeating with a
reasonable degree of personal safety,
for it would be next to impossible to
have them punished for neglecting to
check off the list of voters when the
law says they shall not do so. And il
must be remembered that these laws
are passed mainly to check dishonest
officers of election, who will be the
first to avail themselves of the clerks
technical error.--Ledger.

The question of equitable assessment
is receiving some little attention, not
only in Carbon County, where the dis
elimination has been so notorious from
the very. beginning, but in adjoining
counties, judging from the tenor OF
editorial expression of many newspapers
that reach this office. The remedy of
ameiloration differs quite widely, but
the promised balm of Gilead is in the
suggestion of Editor Buckley, of the
FREELAND TRIBUNE, who advises the
taxing of land values only. This is the
Henry George idea of taxation and were
it not for the peculiar notoriety of this
individual the plan might not only soon
become popular but it might also become
the system governing taxation through
out the United States. In some un-
accountable manner the name of Henry
George is generally conceded as an
association of tlimsy dogmas. That this
is quite wrong, only those know who are
familiar with the theoretical teaching of
this individual. There is one thing quite
certain, if the George theory of taxation
predominated to-day there would be
equitable assessment. 1t would take the
taxes from poverty stricken farmers and
place it on the mineral lands of the cor
poration where it justly belongs, but
since this system is still long way off
there must be some other method to
equalize the taxes honestly and Judi
ciously, and the only way we see is by
| the assessors and county commissioners
| fortifying themselves against the threats
and intimidation of the coal operators
and corporations generally and demand
ing that which is the county's due. Do
this now and the result will be appre-
ciated by the taxpayers generally.-Le-
h{ghtOR 1dJ0cate.

GET tax that will stay where you put

THERE is a bill now before the
House of Representatives that is of
interest to every person in the United
States who wears clothes. 1t calls f, +
the free admittance of wool, and,
although it is Democratic measure,
this bill is receiving the support OF
Republican citizens and newspapers
all over the country. One of the
leading Republicans of Freeland,
gentleman who is well qualified to
speak upon the subject, as he engaged
in business tina, offers every oppor
tunity to investigate the workings of
the present law, is outspoken in favor
of untaxed wool The bill will pass
the House, but may be stopped in tn,
Senate, yet it is doubtful if the latter
body could afford to ignore the de
mand that is being made for its
passage. Cleveland and free wool
would be winning combination for
next fall.

THE Scranton Repulkican does no

The Scranton Republican does not
regard with much favor the work of
the Ohio Legislature, by which the
State has been gerrymandered so as
to give the Republican party fifteen
sure Congressional districts. Editor
Scranton says that such work should
not stand for minute, because Gre
publicans have always assumed that
they followed higher standards. 1t
will be surprise to many people to
learn that the Republican party,
which has stolen at some time or
another every office from the Presi-
dency down, ever had the slightest
idea of what high standard in poll
tics meant. The work in Ohio will
stand until repealed by the Demo

HAyDoN g. Co., the Jeanesyille
operators, have notified their EN-
ployees that the semi monthly pay
law will be disobeyed for the future,
and monthly payments will be the
rule hereafter. What do the work
ingmen of the region intend to do
about it? Nothing, we presume, but
growl and grumble as usual, while if
they had an organization behind them
these aristocratic law-breakers could
be taught a lesson that would not
soon be forgotten. 1t is probable
now. that since the line is broken
other operators will follow suit in
defying the laws of their State. If
the Hazleton merchants allow Haydn
q Co. to go unpunished they are not
deserving of workingmen's patronage.

JAMES G. BLAINE is out of the race
for President. Such was the an
nouncement made on Monday, and by
his withdrawal the way is clear and
unobstructed for the denomination of
Harrison. In the letter he made
public Blaine conceals his reasons for
this action, and even his most init
mate friends are not aware of them
1t is a fact which the public well
knows that the ambition of Blaine S
life was to be President of the United
States. He is one of the shrewdest
statesmen in the country, and the
nomination would come to him next
June almost unanimously. What,
then, can be inferred from his letter
but that he recognizes the folly in
being the candidate of the Republi.
can party, the end of which is rapidly
drawing near.

FRED FITzsnIMoNs, who shot and
killed Detective Gilkinson, of Pitts.
burg, almost killed Detective Murphy,
sawed his way out of Jail just before
he was to have been tried and for five
months eluded the detectives of the
land, was captured last week in New
Orleans. Fitzsimmons had penchant
for writing letters and it was one of
his epistles, sent to a fellow prisoner
in Pittsburg jail, that led to his re-
capture. This letter made an ap.
pointment with Anderson to meet
Fitzsimmons at New Orleans some
days ago. The detectives thus got a
clue to his whereabouts and succeed
ed in arresting him, but no sooner
did the desperate realize that his
game was up than he ended his
notorious life with the sin of suicide.
