PECK and bis Figures.

Labor Commissioner Peck. Of New York,
has got a3out ali the glory out Of his report
showing that wages in New York have ad-
vanced under tho Mckinley tariff that be
will ever get. There was never any good res-
son for believing that the report was based
upon Information obtained from either
wage-payers or wsge-esrners. When Mr..
Peck declined to make public the sources Of
his information, claiming that be was under
obligations 70 keep them secret, suspicion
was at once aroused as TO his honesty. Il
was argued. and very wisely too, that II
manufacturers were paying better wages
because Of the Mckinley tariff, they would
not hesitate 20 say so. They would be glad
to furnish evidence in behalf of tariff that
benefited them, in order to create a public
sentiment in its behalf But IL was not pos
sible to find either manufacturers or wage
earners who would admit that wages had
been increased since the Mckinley tariff
went into effect.
The literary bureau Of the democratic ma
tional committee has published an analysis
of Commissioner Pecks report, which com
pletely riddles his assertions His figures
are compared with figures furnished by
persons in trade. In many instances in
which he asserts in his report that there has
been an increase in wages, It is shown from
the books Of leading houses that there has
been decrease. Ia other words, Peck's
assertions that wages have been increased
under the Mckinley tariff are shown TO
have no foundation whatever in truth.
1t remains now TO find out who inspired
Peck's report. He was appointed to office
as a democrat, but has acted the part OF a
tool of the republicans. He refuses to show
the communications on which he alleges he
based his report, and the conclusion is ale
most irresistible that be has no such COM
municatlons, or, IL he has, that he drew
from them a conclusion that was not war;
rsnted by what they contained. He is dis
credited by the publication which the demo-
cratic national committee has made, and
he will drop into obscurity as soon as the
courts are through with him.

Lunch Counters bal Politics.

There is good deal Of humor mixed in
with the other ingredients that go to make
up the republican side OF the campaign.
Tom Carter himself is said TO resemble a
carlcature of the typical American, yclept
Uncle Sam; grandfather's hat has furnished
no end Of fun, and even the party's expla-
nation Of the tariff is joke-a cruel prac.
tical joke, however.
But there is nothing In the campaign
more humorous than a new scheme to
capture votes in the west Cor the Repub-
lican party. The story comes from
Chicago, and the point Of il centers In a
free lunch counter, or. rather in a number
Of them. For it is part of the plan
Of the managers of the scheme to
establish republican free lunch counters in a
number Of western towns and cities, and
invite all "fioaters" to come and partake of
the party's largess, in the shape Of regula-
ton sandwiches and soup, without money
and without price. Each counter is to be
under the supervision Of an accomplished
staff; not, however, so expert In seasoning
and serving soup as in talking tariff Once
the hungry and impecunious floater has
bCcA b1SoI o0 up W tub COunS3E L16 per-
sons behind it are to see to it that he re-
ceives hunk Of mental pabulum in the
form of tariff statistics favorable to protec-
tion with every slab of pie. Paternalism is
to be preached along with the cold pota-
toes, force bill arguments aud force-meat
balls served together and sandwiches and
sectionalism offered for absorption at the
same time.
The chief point of humor in this funny
| scheme, however, is in the persons to be
employed behind the counters. They are
to be pretty young women. No low browed
heelers are to be permitted to don white
aprons and persuade voters with pie; pretty
lassies are to pour the coffee for Jack, Jim
and Bob, and at the same time witch them
with artful smiles and tariff talk into voting
for Harrison-thae is the idea. But wher @
are the pretty girls who are going to do all
thata Leaving out Mrs. Lease Belva Lock

Poet and Locomotive.

An extract from some recently discovered
papers of Victor Hugo, which are soon 20 be
given to the public, was published the other
day in a French newspaper, and contained the
poets account OF his FIRST journey by rail Ii is
extremely characteristic and interesting saws
the Youths Companion, but surely never was a
locomotive engine regarded from so curious
point of view.
The poet was impressed and delighted with
the iron horse, that 'prodigiOus beast" which
bresthed, trembled, snorted. Weighed, shrieked
palpttated, slackened and quickened speed aud
sent its powerful breath whlrlinR by the win
dows in wreaths OF white smoke. All this was
fine; but then, one must only listen; a look
would break the SPELL

but machine. o."
Therefore. he was of opinion that it was a pity
that the invention had been delayed SO long
since had our ancestors but hit upon the loco
motive In less scientific and more artistic age
they would not have permitted such a distress :
ing discrepancy.
They would, he was quite sure, have capari-
soned the prodigious beast according to its
merits. or the great boiler they would have
made scaly body over the wheels would have
drooped gigantic wings or fms; the smoke stack
would have become a huge horn or long neck
crowned with a dreadful head, whose Jaws
should breathe fire. The cars, too, would have
taken fantastic shapes.
I'm the evening we should have seen gliding
by our cities sometimes a colossal griffin with
wings extended; sometimes a dragon vomiting
flame; sometimes an elephant with trunk up
lifted, putting and roaring maddened, eager
smoking, formidable, dragging after them like
their prey 100 other monsters chained together
and traversing the plains with the speed, the
noise and the flash Of gunpowder. That would
have been grandm
Perhaps So from the poets point OF view:
but it Is doubtful at least If cars in the form of
chained monsters could have accommodated
themselves to the comfort and satisfaction of
ordinary trayelers who are not poets, az well as
our present Pullmans.
The great Frenchman's train OF monsters
would have been grand as a fine stage effect is

would have lacked dignity, and have been only
magnificent sham. the messenger and steed

Vote Buying.

The extent TO which money ia used 70 cor
rupt voters is not generally recognized by
those who have little to do with practical
politics. Only small part Of the money
contributed TO campaign funds is used in
legitimate campaign expenses. There is not
much reason to doubt that the greater part
of the 100000 raised by Postmaster Gen
eral Wenamaker in Philadelphia toward
the close of the national campaign Of 1888
was used TO buy voters in the state Of New
York, and a statement that the 500, 100000
which the national repu blican committee IS
now raising is to be used in the same man
ner would not be far out Of the way.
According 70 the article in the current
number Of the Century Magazine, entitled
Money in Practical Politics." the per-
centage Of purchssable votes In quite
number OF the states is alarmingly large.
The writer Of the article, speaking OF Ne"
York, says; THE probability is, tlat' all
things considered. in such q state as thst OF
New York, the farmers are as corrupt as
the residents OF the cities. 10 is said 20 De
not an uncommon thing in New \ ork sOaue

his sons and hired help, and virtually suc-
tIon Off the lot to the highest bidder

beyond reach OF the money lunuence' III
one Of the eastern counties Of New ork,
some years ago, a good church deacon and
his son received $40 each for their votes
from manager Of their own party TO keep
them from deserving to the enemy"
These brief extracts indicate what can be
done with money in elections in New York,
and the condition Of morals in other states,
so far as politics is concerned, is about as
bad. More vote buying is, of course. done
in the close states like New York, Connecti-
cut, New Jersey and Indiana than in the
others, because in those states the purchase
Of a few thousand votes may change the
result Of the election.
1t is apparent that in the state Of New
York for instance, the republicans have a
great advantage over the democrats because
they can command great deal more money.
The democrats could not raise campaign
fund Of 81, 900 900, however hard they might
try to do so, but the republicans are having
no difficulty, apparently, in raising that sum.
The trusts and monopolies that are pro-
tected in making great profits by the
Mckinley tariff can well afford to contrib
ute literally to a vots-buying fund.

Reporting Sunday Sermons.

Z. ]. Carpenter, literary editor of the
Boston Advertiser recently delivered lecture
before the Methodist association on the subject
of "Newspapers," and this is what happened at
the close:
Lastly Mr.. Carpenter pictured the routine OF
a newspaper reporter from early Monday morn
ing until late Saturday night. He followed him
closely THROUGH all his labors. hurrying from
one matter to another with scarcely moments
cessation. He works an hour or two at his desk
in the morning; reports the Methodist minister's
meeting at Wesleyan hall; goes to fire and
comes back exhausted and wet; writes his
hurries away TO catch a train to interview a
politician; returns at O'Clock, weary and hun
cry; writes out his interview; again snatches a
hasty meal; returns to the office aud works
until midnight, preparing an obituary for DOE
sibly early use, and at last reaches his bed at I
O'Clock. Aud this he does six days in the week
At the close OF his description the speaker
asked, quietly:
"Do you not think, gentlemen, that after
such week OF labor he has earned, and well
earned, a day OF resty"
Responses of yes" yes" came from all
parts of the hall

The scare about the printing of Pennsyl-
vania's election tickets is more than apt to
be all moonshine. 1t might take JOB offices
considerable time TO do the work on cut
paper, but in these days of perfecting
presses printing from rolls Of paper a mile
long, the matter of turning out tickets
should be comparatively an easy job. Every
Will equipped daily newspaper Office has
one or more presses capable of turning out
1000 to $1,000 eight-page newspapers per
hour. II the ticket forms were stereotyped
and put on such presses, half a dozen Of
them would turn out in day more tickets
than Pennsylvania could possibly vote.

The Allianoe MAY Be Saved.

A step in the right direction, taken now,
would probably do much toward saving the
Georgia alliance from threatened disntegra-
ton. The election on last Wednesday fur
nished conclusive proof that the majority
of Georgia farmers do not sympathize with
or favor the wild and impraoticable de
mands OF the Peoples party. They know
that the Democratic party is reliable and
that its platform is broad enough and
strong enough for every farmer to stand
upon. The fact that thousands of the best
farmers IN Georgia stood upon il last week
proves that conservative men place un-
bounded faith in 1t.
IL the alliance were withdrawn from
politics., absolutely and Immediately and
put back on its original basis "a an
educational institution, leaving its mem
bers free to vote in November as they
please, it would probably regain much of
its lost prestige. 1t has been demonstrated
that both the alliance and the Peoples party
cannot survive. The life Of one means the
death Of the other. And if one must go,
which would the farmers prefer TO retain,
the organization that has benefited them,
and may benefit them again, by reducing
prices and disseminating useful information,
or the one that has been q constant source
of trouble and annoyance, and can never
be anything elsei The alliance some time
ago made a winning fight against the bag
| ging trust; it made another winning fight
| against high prices for supplies and aRri-
cultural machinery; it was getting into
| good shape to dictate the size of the cotton
output and, therefore, the price of the staple,
when selfish politicians dragged it into poll
itics.
On the other hand, what has the Peoples
party done for the farmers? 1t has torn the
alliance asunder, causing it to lose as much
as half OF its membership; il has arrayed
town against country, it has made enemies
OF neighbors. it has catered to the remnant
OF the radical csrpet-bag party in the south
and menaced good government, it
has raised up demagogues TO preach
socialism and violence and poison the minds
OF the people, it has revived socia, issues
between the white man and the black man
1t has slandered the legislative power Of the
nation and the executive power Of the state
1t has revived sectionalism between the
north and south by nominating for the
highest office in the gift Of the people man
who was venomous hater Of the south. a
man whom the north regards as danger
Gus crank, but respects because he was a
federal soldier. These and other things the
Peoples party has done during its short ex-
istence. But it is needless TO name more.
Those mentioned are enough to condemn 1t.
The question for alliancemen to consider
is, will they follow this party further, or
drop it at once and save the alliance! 1t
would be worth 1000 members to the order
for Col. Peek to take the initiative in res
cuing the order.

The November election will be a contest
between democracy and republication .
The consideration OF all minor parties has
been removed by the recent state elections.
The people will decide between the party OF
local self-government and reduced taxation
aud the party OF force bills and high tar
ifs. And, from the present outlook, it APP
pears that the democracy will be victorious.
