The epidemic of editorial dissatisfac.
tion IS spreadiag. The famous editor OF
the London Truth. Labouchere, is making
a lot of fuss because he was not put in
the Gladstone cabinet or because, as he
believes, the queen scratched him.
Mr. labouchere. like some Of the Har.
risonian editors in this country who have
been silenced, is not fitted for cab
met position and would not have
been suggested If he had not suggested
himself But that fact, recognized by
everybody else is not acknowledged by
him. Having heard, perhaps, of the
success which resulted from such a
course by disappointed editors i'm this
country. Labouchere, is making it hot
for the Liberal leaders in London. The
London Chronicle says
Mr. Labouchere's pungent caustic
criticism of the new ministry is having
considerable constitutional Importance
Perhaps it is better that Mr. Labouchere
is not an administrator, but Radical
intransigeant applying good and eX-
quisite raillery to a government that is
obviously tempted 10 go too slow.
This is precisely the same position
that the senate took in the case Of the
Hlarrisonized editor, Murat Halstead.
They refused to confirm him in the re
ward Harrison offered
Senator Higgins does not feel strong
enough, 1T seems, to pursue that policy
of well tempered defiance and smiling
contempt lie comes down whenever am
editor calls.
The st. James Gazette referring to
Labouchere's "lSicking' says that Glad
stone" "dshed the Radicals, but has
failed to muzzle their leader" "The
Gladstonian spoon bait, the Gazette
adds, lis good enough to play the Irish
fish, but there are risks of losing the
Radicals. Immediately questions of for.
eign policy arise the government may
require to be kept in Office by Unionists
votes. This might suggest a
remedy for dissatisfied editors
TO President Harrison and Senator Hig
gins too The spoon bait method has
been applied to the Daily Hersey-he
has the Office but not the salary-but il
has never had that wide application which
its merits warrant Because it has failed
with Labouchere is no reason that il
would fail in all cases. His is an abnor
NAL sporadic case IL would probably
succeed in a majority of cases if the
political doctors were courageous enough
to try it,
Halstead, for example is bowling fol

To the editor of EVENING JOURNAL
Sir Where is the letter that John T.
Dickey wrote and where did the informa-
ton in regard TO the alleged conversation
that took place between Governor Rey-
nolds and J. r. Dickey and also between
Mr.. Dickey and Mr. Dougherty came
fromY ] win tell the Daily Republican
right here that if they expect the public
TO take any stock in such matters they
will have TO get their information
from more reliable source than
they received Governor Reynolds
letter from, for the public understands
the feeling Of the political sore-heads and
information from that source does not
count. The Republicans harp on these
Democrats who get great bundles of tax
receipts and distribute them around
Now l know some Republicans who get
quite q number of tax receipts belonging
TO different parties and the difference i
see between them and the Democrats is
that the Democrats give the receipts to
the parties they are got for but the Re
publicans hold their receipts unless the
owners make a fight to get them.
Then he must 60 to. one and
pay the money, to another and get the
receipt They always want to make
sure of their man before they give up the
receipt Now, if the Republican wishes
to know the names of any of the parties
concerned in the above, l will let them
know i'm another letter. Meantime, /
would like to know in what way John Il.
Dickey is responsible for Governor Rey-
nolds's letter. QUIET OBSERVER.

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
McKinicy WIN Not Come.

Philadelphia Times.
We sincerely regret that Chairman
Carter refuses Governor Mckinley per-
mission to come to Philadelphia to dis
cuss the tariff question OF course, so
able and respected a disputant is wanted
i'm all sections of the country, as even
the strongest Republican states are dis
turbed in their anchorage because of
tariff taxes but Governor Mckinley
should have been allowed one day to face
the industries of Philadelphia. 1t was
in Philadelphia that the.colossal scheme
was conceived in 1883 by some of
our highly protected and prosperous man
ufac turers, to raise the largest political
campaign fund ever contributed in any
contest for the purpose of obtaining in
creased taxes upon the masses for the
benefit of the special contributing
classes. These contributions were re-
sponded to by Governor Mckinley, in
nearly every case, by increased tariff
taxes on the products of the contribu-
tors, and there is no locality where the
tariff issue could be so searchingly dis
cusscd with Governor Mckinley as in
this city. If the Mckinley tariff is a
wise measure, here is the best
place ON tine continent to defend
and illustrate IT.; II 10 is an
unwise measure, here is the worst place
to attempt TO defend it, and Governor Nc
Kinley seems TO understand that there
are tariff danger signals in Philadelphia
when it is proposed TO turn on the light
where It must show the exact truth. II
is probable that Chairman Carter and
Governor Mckinley regard Pennsylvania
as safe politically, and therefore they
can evade unpleasantly searching discus
sion of the tariff law; but they should
not forget that the Mckinley bin levied
increased and needless taxes ON
the necessaries Of business that employs
tens of thousands of wage-workers in
this city; that it increased the cost of
the necessaries of life to all industrial
| people; that its promise of increased
wages to labor has proved to be a mock
/ cry and lie. and that there are today
/ in this city thousands of wage-workers
| who are hesitating about continuing
/ their support of tariff that protects
/ only monopoly and Expresses the indus
/ trial people of the land. The Mckinley
/ tariff needs defense in Philadelphia, as
! both Chairman Carter and Governor Nc
Kinley may learn about election day.
