The Democratic minority in con-
gress is very much exercised to learn
whether or not it is true that dead
soldiers are still being carried on the
pension rolls. There are good many
of the live ones who are not on the rolls
owing to the pernicious activity of
Democratic veteran hunters. If there
is anything in the world that gives a
Democrat hopeless pain it is to see
an old veteran rewarded with q pen

THAT LUMBER TARIFF,

1t will be very difficult to make the
poor fellows who this year are at work
for good wages believe that the So tar
if is a sin when it shuts the door be-
tween them and a past filled with hun
ger and cold and poverty's bitter
heartaches. This radical increase in
wages and the employment of larger
numbers of workmen than usual prove
quite conclusively that the advance in
the price Of lumber is. not all going
into the pockets of the lumber barons.
These things being true, those news
papers in the Sixth district that are
trying to make capital against Con-
gresham Page Morris because of the
important part he played in the max
ing OF the lumber tariff, will fail ut
terly to accomplish their purpose.
The man who has had something to do
with putting thousands of idle men to
work, so that the hungry stomachs of
wives and children are filled and the
fire-places in countless homes made to
glow with welcome heat is proof
Fagainst the attacks of partisan press,
which would take away these blessings
and bring again the old-time suffering
and despair. Page Morris may have
made mistakes, but it will be difficult
to make the mon who labor with their
hands in lumber in the Sixth district
think that the So tariff is one of them.

WILL HE BE A STATESMAN

1t is said that Judge Mckay is of the
opinion that Breidenthal should not be
Feffer's successor because he is not a
statesman; therefore the judge is for
PETER. This is a dangerous sort of ar
gument. If the judge is against Breid-
enthal because he is not a statesman, he
must be for PETER because PETER is
statesman. 1t might be an easy. task
TO establish in the minds of nine in ten
that Breidenthal is not statesman. But
this only finishes one part Of the task;
Indeed the difficulty is but begun, for 10

piled that there had already been too

pie" And PETER would not have had

ENCOURAGING FACT.

In some branches of industry the
growth of the export trade of the Unit
ed States affords encouraging promise
of relief for American manufacturers,
in time of business depression at home.
For example, the number Of American
locomotives sold to foreign countries
last wear was 500. In 1894 it was only
So The year just ended was remark
ably good in the general export trade
in railroad supplies. 1t is likely that
there Mill be still further growth in
that important branch of foreign bust
ness in 1887. American locomotive
builders have orders from Japan alone
sufficient to insure good record for
several months More and more, it may
fairly be expected, dull times in the
United States will be mitigated by the
demand for the products of American
factories in other parts of the world.
No export trade can ever be expected
that will be more than small fraction
OF the home markets consumption, but
in years of depression comparatively
little help from distant parts of the
world will be very useful.

POLITICAL PREMIERS.

We have no particular admiration for
United States Senator Quay or for his
political methods, which are those of the
| modern boss, refined maybe. somewhat
in some directions, but all the more
cold -blooded and selfish in others. He
holds the political destinies of Pennsyi-
yania in his hands as surely as does
Plat those of New York. Here are two
of the most wealthy, powerful and pop
ulous commonwealth of the nation con-
trolled each, respectively, by single in
dividual Nc man of all the millions OF
these states, whatever his deservlngs,
however great in other respects, can at
tain to anything in the way of honor
or Office in the absence Of the endorse
ment and support of one of these bosses.
They are neither of them great states
men, but simply shrewd party generals
who, having aspired and succeeded to
boss-ship, have the pull The redec-
ton is humilating, the fact much more
so. Whenever it happens that one OF
their vice-regentS, tools or beneticiaries
aspires TO the boss-ship such an one
must be crushed or the crown passes.
Quay originally discovered Wanamaker
politically, and yesterday he crushed
him politically. We are glad that he did.
Not that we have any use for Quay, but
that we have less use for Wanamaker.
Of course Wanamaker put up money TO
the machine and in a very liberal way,
for the honors which were bestowed up
on him, but Wanamaker has had
greater surplus of money than of brains
He got into the presidential cabinet, and
from reading his official recommended

believe that never in the history of the
country had there been postmaster

Importance of the place or its service up
