VOTE AT ONCE.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Philadelphia Ledger confirms the
recent statement Of a brother cores
pendent that there is in the Senate a
safe majority OF eleven for repeal Of the
Sherman act, and he adds that the
probability is that the vote will show a
much larger majority.
This being the case why do not the
majority leaders take a vote at once,
dispose Of the question, relieve the
Treasury Of its burden and the country
Of needless suspense?
Senatorial courtesy" has been
played out. 1t has degenerated into
plain case OF permission to the Repnb-
llcan obstructionists TO tilibuster and to
manufacture party capital at the ex-
pense Of the Democrats by continuing
the present uncertainty in business cir
cles
The obstruction are playing po-
litical game only. But the trump card
is in the hands of the majority, and
they should hesitate to play it no
longer
Take a vote at once. Every section
Of the country has enphatically de-
manded it.

ONE THING AT A TIME

The assertion by Rep Jlican organs
that the Democrats Congress pro-
nose 10 repeal u federal Elections
law for the purpose Of opening new oP-
portunities for fraud may be dismissed
as the mere froth Of partisanship. The
philadelphia Record believes that the
Deople Of all the States may be safely
trusted to make proper provision for
holding elections, without federal in
terferenee, and that the experiment OF
Federal supervision has led TO greater
abuses than any which II was designed
20 prevent. They do not believe the
present law to be either wise or con-
souant with the spirit Of the Constitu-
ton. They stand pledged to its repeal
whenever they shall fud the Opportu-
nifty TO carry their pledge into execu-
zion. Their hostility is historical. 1t
a also true that, instructed by expert
epce in the workings OF the Federal
Elections law, many people who origin
ally favored it have changed their
minds. 1t is but few days ago since
Republican Judge in Federal Court
gave It as his opinion that the law
ought TO be repealed. 1t is a useless
source Of irritation and expense.
There is. however, a time for all
things; and there will Oe time enough
10 deal with the repeal Of this Ubiquitous
statute after the business for which
Congress has been called together in
extraordinary session shall have been
concluded. The wOrser half OF the Re-
publican members Of Congress- who
care more for political "a Fansage than
for, the public welfare, would be very

Henry Cochran Had His Rouse Fixed Up
Like Miniature MInt-The Pictures on
the Walls.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, September 10
Henry Cochran, who stole 1874, 600 In
gold from the United States mint, and
who is posing as q weak-minded man, Is
shown to have been a consummate
scamp. For years be lived alone In
big house in Darby, a suburb. The
building set back 100 feet from Wood
land avenue and is perched on hill.
Chief Of Secret Service Drummond In
vestigated the house to-day,
In the parlor, dining room and other
apartments where the public visited
were religious pictures, bibles and
HYMN books. In the cellar was found
4 false door which flew back by touch
ing a spring. This led into a tunnel
that ended at the street, the mouth be-
ing concealed by glass. In the house
were trunks full OF clothing, 80 new
hats, razor for every day in the month
and 20 pairs Of shoes. Six crucioles
for melting gold were also found, as
we'll as dies for making counterfeit
coin.
He had the house fitted up like a
smelling room and could drop to the
cellar on a trap-doOr and then run out
the tunnel in case he should be surpris-
ed. False panels in the walls showed
secret closets, and the place was in re
ality monster thief's den. Cochran
was a devout Presbyterian and shielded
his wicKedness by q religious cloak.

Tho strike Declared or

PrrrsBURG, September 19.-At a
meeting OF the striking employees Of the
Fliver Iron and Steel Company this
afternoon the strike was officially de-
clared of and the men will apply for
thier old positions as individuals, not as
mem bers Of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton. This action was taken in view Of
the successful starting of the plant with
non-union men and the fact that the
employees at the Wayne Iron Works and
the Pittsburg Forge and Iron Company
had disregarded the union and returned
TO work. When in full operation the
divers employ 5000 men.

The Sugar Bounty
Pntsbmn P0sh

A Republican paper Of this city cites
the fact that the Democratic papers OF
New Orleans are in favor Of the reten-
ton Of the sugar bounty as evidence OF
Democratic inconsistency on the tariff.
Not at all. 1t is merely evidence that
the heart and mind is where the treas
urs is. Louisiana gets 1000, 600 a year
sugar bounty, mainly divided among
rich or well-to.do planters. The bounty
has corrupted the State TO very con-
siderable extent II is al argument
against protection. Democrats are just
as susceptible as Republicans TO the
pocket argument. The point is to re-
move the temptation from all parties
and sections, and as the government
cannot give a bounty or subsidy to
everyone let It give 1t to no one. The
Louisiana planters and newspapers
were not converted TO the paternaI pol
icy by argument, but by solid coin OF
the realm. Mr.. Carnegie is free trade
philosopher ia England and protec-
ton philanthropist in America.

MARQUETTE, Mich, September 10
The base of operations in the Mineral
Range express robbery was changed to-
day from this city TO Houghton.
In the forenoon Winters, Shoop and
the Shea brothers were set free and In
the afternoon Cemenson was released.
The Pinkertons accompanied by
Hogan and La Liberty left for Hough-
ton on a special train, and William
Plnkerton at once ordered his men to
Negaunee to consider clews said TO
have been discovered in the iron conn
try.
All rumors up to the time OF fling
this dispatch III p. M. as TO the stolen
treasure having been found are without
foundation.
The report that Morgan and Clemen-
son had made confessions was also man
ufactured out Of whole cloth.

SIS, 900 stolen from the Calumet and
Hecla train has been recovered and the
detectives are completely mystified.
The robbers have all been bagged, but
there is no trace Of the money. The
theory Is now advanced that the rob-
bers have themselves been robbed and
that the money is in the hands Of anoth-
er gang.
