The objections to the Wilson German
tariff act as it finally passed are both nu-
| merous and cogent:
l. The first is that given by Mr.. Cleve-
land, that it is an act ''of party perfidy
and dishonor." But that will not weigh
| much with a party so accustomed to
trampling its pledges under foot as is the
Democratic party The men who de-
nounced it for everything vile will be
| lauding it to the skies before the cam
paign is over.
2. The next is that it bears a willful lie
IN its title; because, instead of being IAN
| net to reduce taxation" (" it is an act to in
crease taxation. By their own showing
it adds S7S, 047 worth of foreign i'm
ports to the dutiable list more than it re-
moves; puts sugar on the dutiable list to
the amount of 81, 1922 623 of duty, and in
creases the internal revenue "war taxes"
to the amount of $53, 900, 900. A little thing
like that, of course, does not hurt Dem
cratic conscience.
8. The next is that its real object is to
reduce protective duties on all our domes-
tic industries, and especially those of
which iron and wool are the bases, with
the avowed purpose of establishing the
doctrine of free trade" in place of that
of protection" This issue is now openly
joined for the first time since the civil
war.
4. The next objection is, that in carry
ing out this free trade program it is es-
| sential that we largely increase our i'm
portations of foreign products, otherwise
we shall fail of revenue, and 500, ,0O0, 900 is
named as the amount of necessary in
crease. Now, as "the balance of trade"
has already turned against us under this
Democratic administration, we shall have
to send abroad our gold to pay for the
goods, as they will not take our silver.
Already this policy has compelled the sale
Of $50, 900, 900 of bonds to buy gold. And
since that sale the amount of the gold re-
serve has fallen from $4,000, 600 to ysS,.

THE TRUE FRIEND OF LABOR

Many deserved compliments have been
paid General Hastings during his life,
but none are of more Importance than the
one that comes from Secretary McBryde,
of the United Mine Workers. 1t has been
printed here before, but it cannot be
placed before the reader too often. Here
is what Mr.. McBryde said:
1T is not often that a candidate for
governor does as much honor to his party
as his party does to him, but this can
safely be said of General Hastings, the
Republican candidate for governor Of
Pennsylvania. General Hastings is thor
oughly in accord with organized labor.
AS coal operator he always preferred to
do business with the officials of the union,
and many a difficulty Dan has helped
the boys to smooth over. He has always
been an inveterate foe to the pluck me-
system, and would have none of it about
his works He has always paid his men
semi-monthly in cash. Whoever in the
Republican party may be assailed, its
candidate for governor is above reproach
in the eyes of a coal miner"
Secretary NcBryde workedin Pennsyl-
vania mines for many years, and is closer
to the miners of that state than any other
official of the national organization. A
determined effort has been made, by send
ing men into the coal regions to make
Populist speeches, to seduce Republican
votes away from the Repu blican ticket on
the mere ground that the head of the
ticket in Pennsylvania has been a coal
operator. Secretary McBryde does not
meddIe with politics except when the in
terests of the coal miners are involved
and it is doubtless the knowledge of this
Democratic scheme to win miners votes
away from a man who has been their
staunch friend which has prompted him
to speak out so plainly.

Michael j. Ryan, Esq, one of the anti
Harrity Democrats of Philadelphia, who
was advertised as one of the gentlemen
who would accompany Candidate Sin
gerly on his campaigning tour, has written
aletter to Mr.. Singerly declining to form
one of the party. in which he says as fol-
, lows:
"There is error in the announcement OF
my name Us part of your company OF cam
paign tourists / received the state chair
mans invitation and declined it. l re
ceived your personal request to accom-
pany you and declined it. Upon your
urging me as a personal favor to you to
help | assured you of my Willingness to
aid you. This did not mean that l was TO
form one of party to travel through the
state, ostensibly TO secure your election,
but in reality to endeavor to revive the
dying political fortunes of a discredited
state administration.
sit is responsible for the decentralization
that now exists in the Democratic party.
"It has been false to every promise made
to the people. 1t assumed place repre-
senting an aggressive and united party
/ that promised to be a power for good
government.
ut will surrender the reins with an I'M
broken record of increasing popular dis
approval with its methods and its mem
bers, and with the Democracy of the state
disheartened, disgusted and faction torn
"You have been nominated simply to
preserve its political life and enable the
machine to hang together long enough to
control the state conventions of '95 and
'96, so that the delegates from Pennsyl-
vania to the national convention may be
delivered from the auction block to ad-
vance the fortunes of those whose trade
is politics and who think that the Demo
cratic party has no higher mission than
their personal enrichment"
This is discussion of state issues un-
looked for, and it is safe to say that Mr..
Ryan will be urged to confine himself to
the tariff if he has anything more to say
in this campaign.

CONCERNING REVENUES.

1t has been asserted by some of the best
deficit in the public revenues of over $50,-
600, 600 for the current year closing June
80, 1895, while some of the tariff reformers
are proclaiming a surplus of at least S40,-
900, 600 The first fifteen days under the
new law show but small gain of receipts
above expenditures, while it is generally
known that millions of goods have been
released from bond, by which the public
revenues have been increased during these
fifteen days. If the revenues for the first
month are not very largely increased over
the expenditures, then it is a sure fact
that a large deficit must occur. The
Democratic party is earning for itself the
reputation of being unable to collect
money while posing as retrenching always
in the expenditure of money.
FROM the keystone Gazette of Belle
fonte it is learned that Tom Collins, Dem
ocratic candidate for congressman-at-
large, two years ago said that if Cleve-
land were elected he would Immediately
start up his furnace at Bellefonte and
run it as long as Cleveland remained in
the chair or words to that effect. Since
that time there hasn't been enough fire in
the furnace to SINCE bat, and the swal-
lows are kept busy building nests and
raising young among the rafters. Hence
he is Democrat in spirit and truth-for
he is fond of 'stuffing" the people.
We suppose Tom has delayed all the
good things promised the people of Belle
fonte until after he is elected congress
man-at-large on the Democratic ticket.
1t is earnestly to be hoped, however, that
the good people of Bellefonte will not have
such a long wait as that promises.
The Englishmen have been busy lately
giving Mr.. Wilson, of tariff bill fame,
dinners. 1t was while Mr.. Wilson was
becoming famous enough to merit the
dinners from the Englishmen that the
people in this country who had little
money ahead were forced to feed so many
willing workmen who were out of en-
ployment.

OBITUARY NOTES.

Oliver Wendell II lines, the poet and
author, died at his esidence at Beverly
| farm. Mass, last Sunday afternoon. He
was born in August of 1909. At the age
of 16 he began writing. and his first poem
| to attract general attention was the famous
| one on the Constitution, beginning:
Ay, tear her tattered ensign down!
Long has it waved on high,
And many an eye has danced to see
That banner in the sky;
Beneath it rang the battle shout
And burst the cannon's roar;
The meteor of the ocean air
Shall sweep the clouds no more.
He read law, while a young man, and
afterwards read medicine
In 1889 he was chosen professor of anat-
| omy and physiology at Dartmouth. In
1882 he was made member OF the supreme
court of Massachusetts, having previously
published various law works.
In lS47 Dr. Holmes succeeded Dr. John
| C. Warren as professor Of anatomy and
physiology in the metical school at Har-
| ward aud soon after became prominent as y
iycCum lecturer. Thence. till 1860 bis

The zenith of his power was attained in
his contributions to the Atlantic Monthly
for the first three or four years of its exis-
tenee-IS57 to 1861. The most popular OF
all his productions the one which secured
him the title by which he is best known,
"The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table" ;"
appeared as a serial in the first numbers of
the Atlantic, and its advent was an era in
literature. Enthusiastic editors declared

SOUTHAMPTON, Oct. 25.-The collision
between the steamship Paris, Captain
Watkins, which arrived here last night
from New York, and an unknown ship,
which sank soon afterward, as cabled. is
the subject of an investigation by the
agents of the line. The collision took
place between 1:30 and o'clock Wednes-
day, during thick weather, accompanied
by heavy rain.
AS soon after the collision as possible
the Paris was put about and a search
made for the ship, which, although
sighted for moment, disappeared before
lifeboat could lowered, and nothing
more was seen of it, although the Paris
searched for the ship until daylight.
The liner was eventually compelled to
proceed for this port without having
sighted the wrecked vessel again or hav-
ing saved any OF the crew. The vessel is
supposed TO have foundered soon after
the collision with all on board.
The Paris was little injured when she
arrived here.
1t is reported that the vessel with
which the Paris collided showed signals
OF distress after the collision and screams
were heard aboard her. She displayed a
white light about three minutes before
the collision. 1t was added, however,
that no red or green lights were visible
after the steamer struck the unknown
ship.
The Paris landed her passengers here,
some of whom were seen previous to their
departure for London on the train. They
Joined IN saying that the shock of the
collision was so slight that they did not
know of the accident until the next day.
But one or two passengers were awall
ened by the collision, and went on deck.
Some OF the crew Of the Paris say the
ship was cut clean in two, and this is
probably correct, as both sides of the bow
of the Paris show signs OF scraping. In
addition one Of her portfolios had been
driven in.
The sailors of the Paris say the steam
ship was stopped after the collision, and
that she returned to the vicinity Of the
spot where the accident occurred. The
sailors OF the American liner agree with
the passengers that there was consider
able delay in getting the searchlignt of
the Paris in working order. In fact, they
assert that nearly an hour elapsed before
its light could be thrown on the water in
search of the wreck.
The man on the lookout, who sighted
the white light ahead. thinks that
only two minutes elapsed between sight
ing the bark and the collision, and it was
impossible for the steamship TO sheer OFT
to avoid the collision.

FIGHT OVER SANTA FE CONTROL,
Restraining Order Which Stops the
Election of Directors.

Restraining Order Which Stops the
Election of Directors.
TOPEKA, Oct. 25.-Very important ac-
ton was taken during the night in con-
nection with the Santa Fe situation. New
man Erb and General B. f. Tracey, act
ing for the Protective Reorganization
Committee, went before Judge C. G. Fos-
ter of the United States District Court and
asked for an order restraining the stock
holders from electing directors to-day
until the courts should decide whether
the cumulative plan OF voting could be
exercised.
Judge Foster granted the temporary re-
strainlng order conditionally-thati is, he
said the meeting could proceed if the
cumulative plan of voting were exercised,
otherwise not, and in this event he would
set the hearing on the temporary restrain
ing order on Monday, October 10Th.
AT 10 o'clock the room of General Mana
ger Frey in the Santa Fe general office
was packed with representatives of the
opposing interests.
secretary Wilder read the call, and inn
medlately MIR. Robinson announced as
the committee to take down the proxies
and see who were entitled to vote, Charles
Blood Smith, James Walker, Jr., and G..
w. Porter.
Newman Erb strongly objected, be-
cause the Protective Committee was not
represented, and moved that Henry Wool
man OF Kansas City be added. The mo-
tion was finally carried, and an adjourn
ment was taken till L o'clock.
There was no election, except for Chair
man, because the Directors Committee
decided to resist the cumulative plan OF
voting proposed by the protectives. who
are IN the minority, ana have no hope for
representation on the board, except un-
der the system in question. and the meet
ing adjourned to 10 o'clock Thursday.
November lst.
B. +. Cheney, Jr., of Boston. the repre-
sentative of 1904 shares of stock. and
the largest individual stock holder, said
the present board would concede nothing
TO the Protective Committee This in
Junction" he said, sis undoubte ly
sprung to compel us 20 give represe nta-
tion on the board to them, but it will not
do it. We will not compromise or make
any concession to them.'
BY far the most important point from
railroad standpoint, that has developed
so far. is that the General Committee, il
it wins the fight, will make B. L. Cheney,
Jr., Chairman OF the board. This is the
highest executive position on railroad,
and is always held by men of high finan-
cial standing. Cornelius Vanderbilt is
Chairman of the New York Central
Board, an Office higher than the Presi-
dency held by Chauncey NJ. Depew.

What General sheehan Saws.


General Sheehan was asked last even
ing if he had read the report and if he
had any statement to make.
He stated that he had glanced hastily
over it, and had nothing to saw further
than that he felt that an Injustice had
been done him. He is of the oninior
that he did his duty fully and faithfully,
and went as far as he dared without com,
mitting murder by wholesale.
he states that the Board of Jno,1irv
could not be expected to give a decision
that would please everybody They had
difficult duty to perform and rapped
all hands. so that there might be no ieaI-
ousies.
1T is not an easy matter" he said, "to
judge OF the Fourth of July incident un-
less parties were on the ground and had
knowledge OF the entire situation. 1t is
agreed upon by all who are familiar with
the facts that possession of the depot
could have been had without the she'd
ding OF blood If my suggestion to Gem
eraI Dickinson, to enter at the east end of
the depot, had been acted upon, but no
credit seems to have been given for this
All other errors are as nothing in conn
parlson, because immediate. possession
could have been taken ii the movement
had been executed
When he sent this message, he saws
he clearly pointed out the way, and gave
the San Francisco troops an Opportunity
TO De brought to the front, where they
could be OF service and would have re-
celyed due credit for the success of the
entire affair.
General Sheehan states that he win
always feel thankful that he did not. on
his own Volition and in the absence of
orders, use the force that was refused him
when he demanded it OF the officers conn
