Sign The Bill, Governor.

IT Is noted with good deal Of sat
isfaction that the mercantile kings
Of the large cities of the State are
making a great kick about The new
mercantile tax bill passed by the
recent legislature. This is one Of the
bills designed to raise additional rev.
enue, aud, as a natural consequence,
meets with opposition from the big
fellows, who have of late been prac.
tically monopolizing the mercantile
business of the State but have been
escaping their just share of taxation,
and as Il mat er of course the smaller
merchants have been footing the bills,
as it we're. This bill compels the
large department stores to pay taxes
in proportion to their business, aud
this is why they complain, and try to
make it appear that this legislature
was corrupt. 1t is perfectly natural
that the city papers should take up
their fight, fer much of their susie
nance is drawn from these big store
keepers in advertising. Great pres.
sure is being brought to bear on the
Governor to induce him to veto the
bill, but the great mass Of the com
mon people all over the State look tc
the good sense and backbone OF the
Executive to approve the bill, mo-
alone because it will add to the reve.
nues of the State, but because it is i
fair and eminently just measure.

Employers Of Aliens.

The new law taxing alien labor in
Pennsylvania went into effect July
1st, and employers, whether ip.
dividuals, associations, partnerships
or corporations, should understand
the fact that they will be liable for a
tax of three cents day for every
unnaturalizsd alien they employ in
any department of labor.
Employers are especially author.
lied to deduct this tax from the
wages of their employees, and they
are made directly responsible to the
county for the payment of such tax.
If any employer shall disregard the
law, they will not only be required to
pay the tax, but they will be subject
to punishment for misdemeanor by
the imposition of fine of not less
than 5000 and not exceeding 81 900
for each ofense. The County Com.
missioners of each county are re-.
quired to furnish proper blanks to be
used by employers in making sworn
returns.
There will doubtless be many ef.
forts made to deceive employers by
unUaturalized aliens asserting that
they are naturalized, but the law will
not excuse employers for being i'm.
posed upon in that way. The re.
sponsibility imposed upon employers
by the law gives them the clear right
to demand satisfactory evidence OF
naturalization when any foreigner
claims to be naturalized citizen.
They have the same legal right to
demand the evidence of tturaliza.
tion that a sworn election officer
would have when man of question.
ed citizenship asked the right TO de.
posit his vote.
This law applies to all classes ol
employers whether they employ one
mau or ten thousand, and all should
appreciate the fact that it will be
scrupulously enforced. The work.
ingmen in every community are
greatly interested in the strict en-
forcement Of the law, aud they viii
be vigilent to the last degree to have
the tax collected for every day.

THE best authorities in Cuba think
Weyler's campaign in the present
"ofT" season will be as bad a failure
as were his demonstrations in the
past. Spaniards on the island as
in Spain are beginning to realize that
the insurgents are steadily growing
stronger, and that the chances Of the
government to regain its authority
in the disaffected provinces, which
comprise the greater part of the is
land, are hopeless, The government
feels that an acknowledgement of de-
feat would Instantly upset the Minis

of success, but, from present iudica
