COUNTY NOMINEES.

It He Republicans have nominated an excellent
u county ticket and for this fact alone the
majority in this county Republicans should be
larger than normal Every candidate for Levy
Court commissioner is thorc---hly qualified for
the position. If the residents OF the county de-
sire the good management Of the court continued,
and the work OF improvements 10 so on, they
will elect the Republican nominees for the Levy
Court
For the Court House Offices good nominations
have been made Harry a. Brown, the candidate
for clerk OF the peace, was nominated as the
unanimous choieeof the party He has had much
experience in county affairs has been attentive TO
his duties as a Levy Court commissioner oblig-
ing and accommodating, and has hosts Of friends
in both parties
Herbert /. Rice, the nominee for prothonotary,
is popular young lawyer Of the city, who has
been an active Republican, He is well fitted for
the position, and there IS no doubt of his election.
He is a capable candidate.
Robert NJ. Burns has made a splendid record
as county treasurer attentive TO the interests Of
the county and always at his work. Mr. Burns
services entitle him 10 reelection.
That the voters Of the county approve Of Phil
emma Chandler, the nominee for county comp
troller, has been tested in past regular elections
and in primary elections Mr.. Chandler has al
ways been particularly strong with the substan-
tal element OF the county He has fulfilled his
duties to the satisfaction Of all and his experience
will be of much service 70 the incoming Levy
Court.
Charles II. Lppincott is making a splendid
canvass for sheriff, and although the Democrats
would like 10 secure this office there is little
prospect of their success with such worker as
Mr. Lippincott on the Republican ticket, Mr..
Lippncott for years has been very active man

There are thousands of unemployed in Eng
land, and the fear of rioting mobs is so great that
shop-keepers are insuring their stocks against
heavy losses at the hands of mobs. The rate OF
such insurance has increased considerably. The
shops about the House of Parliament. the meet
ing places of the county and borough councils,
the unemployed bureaus and Trafalgar Square,
where large mass meetings OF the unemployed
are usually held, are considered especially bad
risks The labor unions estimate that ten per
cent Of the eountry's skilled workmen are idle,
and the proportion Of unskilled work,nen is much
larger In fact. the army OF the workless in Eng
land is now said to number about 100000,
America is not the only country that has suffered
an industrial depression The experience of Eng
land shows that a low tariff does not stimulate
industry, and tariff reduction as a promoter Of
prosperity would be a failure if tried in America,
as the Cleveland administration showed.

Editorial Opinion
Free Trade Experience,

Altoona Gazette.
Heretofore the Democratic party has
been for free trade and has taught that
the tarin is a tax which the consumer
must pay. Now Bryan would pass
tariff law for the production Of reve-
nue. and let American industries take
care Of themselves. In other words he
would tax the workingmen for cherry
thing he buys and force him TO buy all
most everything from foreign pro-
aucers. II the tariff is tax that the
consumer must pay the consumer can
better pay large tax 20 keep the
American factories running full time
and himself getting good wages ana
full time, thnt he can pay smaller
tax TO the revenue Of the nation when
the factories are closed and he Is out
Of employment But discussion ot
the question is unnecessary An eN-
ample Is oil that is needed
tJnder the Grover cleveland admin
lstration the same principle was en-
acted into law. srhe tariff was 10 be
for revenue only and protection OF
American industries was ignored.
While reducing the tariff the govern
ment was forced to pass an income tax
law which the courts held 20 he class
legislation. and therefore unconsuin-
tlonal. Then the tax on tobacco ana

pose. There are almost 5000 of the grade cross

NO BREAK WITH A. A. U.
Military Athletic League Prevents
an Open Rupture.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE threatened
rupture between the Amateur Athletic
Union and the Military Athletic League
has been avoided by the prompt action Of
a committee of the latter organization.
made up of Maj. w. A. Turpin of the 18th
Regiment, Capt. Huen Of the list Regi-
ment and Maj. Dubois Of the 23d Regi-
ment, at a meeting in James E. Sullivan s
Office yesterday,
In explanation it was stated that the
committee did not know that Cypiot the
winner Of the shot put in the games Tues
day; Van Size. who competed in the
sprints, and MacGill were disqualified ath-
letes. The Military Athletic League left
the handling of the entries to others, and
the entries slipped by.
1t was decided that Maj. Turpin should
write a letter explaining the facts in the
case. and that the prizes won by the dis
qualified athletes would be withheld. The
Military Athletic League will also make
application to the registration committee
to have all the athletes that competed I'M
knowingly with professionals reinstated
for the championship meeting next
Wednesday.
The committee also asked the board of
governors of the Amateur Athletic Union
to reconsider breaking the alliance. and
explained that no i'll feeling existed and
that there had been no thought of sever
ing relations.
President sullivan said after the meet
ing that the incident was closed and that
all was harmony once more.

Goods and Women Teachers KeeI
American Boy Backp

LONDON, April 11.-Canon Jephson, a
member of the Mosely commission which
recently visited the United States, contro-
yerts the statement of Sir William Henry
Preece that the American boy is mentally
two years ahead of the European boy. Mr..
Jephson says that from his observation at
hundreds of American schools he formed
an opinion directly contrary to that OF
Sir William, and he thinks that most OF
the members of the Mosely commission
formed an opinion similar to his tMr.
Jephsons). The Canon says:
lowing to the American system of CO.
education and the preponderance OF
women teachers the American boy is
retarded in many ways where the English
how ia pushed ahead. The English lad,
narticularly the Londoner, has far more
shrewdness and common sense than the
American boy"

DURAS AND SCHLECHTER
TIED IN CHESS TOURNEY

VIENNA, April 11.-Much Importance

ers were paired against each other. This
was notably the case with the Rubinstein-
Spielmann, Marshall Duras and Maroczy-
SchIechter matches the other games be-
ing of minor interest. Marshall was
again defeated. The other American,
Joiner, also suffered defeat at the hands
of Tart akower MarocZy and Schlechter
drew their game. The other results were:
Reti lost to Spielmann, Perlis to Swider-
ski, Rubinstein to Leonhardt; Alapin beat
Suechting: Cohn vanquished Mieses, Ber-
ger and Hickman and Bardeleben and
Salwe drew. Duras and Schlechter are
