They luij not thouKht of the reduction of revenue that mum necessarily follow the passnite of the bill ami the subsequent Increase of taxation that munt ensue, but now that their attention has been railed to the matter, a great change of pcntment said to be the result.

The house nt Washington was In session Thursday lust thirteen minutes, and Judging from the fulsome special In yesterday' Seranton Tribune Mr.

Conncll must have consumed nearly the entire time performing "in the interest of labor" presenting petitions. When It is explained that petitions are presented In congress by simply handing them to a page who puts them In a box. these Connell Tribune specials are verv thin. In response to the query of an anonymous correspondent The Republican would state that the s.il'uy of the president of the United States is fifty thousand lars. The outside guards, police, men, at the White House are paid by the government, but the household expenses of whatever nature are burno by the president.

Watteison mid Cleveland. Colonel Henry Yv'atterson of Kentucky fails to find any thing worthy of praise in the administration of rover Cleveland, now that it Is all over. Like the able editor of the New York Sun, he Is deeply prejudiced against the late president, and Is not Willing to credit him with having done any good thing. During the time that Mr. Cleveland set in the president's chair Colonel Watterson said many bitter and sarcastic things ahout him that will not Boon be forgotten.

When there was talk, based on apparently good grounds, about Mr. Cleveland's seeking a third term, the Louisville Courier Journal, Colonel Watterson's newspaper, was very bitter in Its denunciation of the president's supposed pretensions, ridiculing them as most absurd, declaring that if re nominated he would not carry a single congressional District in me united states, so un popular had he become. This statement coming from a man so prominent in Democratic affairs as Colonel Watterson had been, attracted a good deal of attention, and at the same time gave evidence of the Kentucky editor's deep hatred for the executive It was expected, however, that after Mr. Cleveland retired from office he would cease to be made the target of Colonel Watterson's revengeful shafts, but as yet he still pursues his enemy. In giving an estimate of the Cleveland administration the Kentuckian declared that it would rank in history with that of Andrew Johnson, and since he has taken pains to explain that the remark was Intended as a compliment for Mr.

Cleveland. Surely the man in public life who goes out of his way to make an enemy of Colonel Henry Watterson commits a foolish blunder. When Senator Tillman declared that the way to deal with the Republican party is to let it settle the tariff as it pleases he made a remark to which no reasonable objection can be taken, something that cannot be said of most of his statements. Now every pugilistic blatherskite in the country is talking about fighting Fitzsimmons. A plague on the race anyway.

Xoffrops Must lie Patient. The advice which Bishop Turner or the African Methodist Episcopal church gives his race to arm themselves for the purpose of resisting white lynchers to the death is attracting much unfavorable comment, hot because there is lack of provocation to the southern blacks for pursuing such a course, but because if followed it must, inevitably lead to bloodshed and anarchy. The white people of the South despise the negro and are bound to keep him beneath their feet, and any' attempt on his part to evade such domination will lead to trouble of a most serious nature. The merest intimation that the negroes of any section were arming for the purpose of protecting themselves against white assassins would be the signal for a bloody mas racre, and if the colored people are wise they will remain as passive as possible under the wrongs and injustice inflicted upon them. It is a shame that conditions are such that it becomes necessary to advise any class of American citizens to refrain from making preparations to defend their own lives, but it is always best to look a situation in the face, and then deal with it in that manner which wise discretion suggests, even if the course pursued is contrary to human nature.

The right of self defense belongs to every living being, but there are times when it is best not to exercise it, and the present is such a time in the history of the colored race in the South with whom patience under outrage must long be the greatest virtue. Scores of unjustifiable lynchings naturally cause their minds to revert to thoughts of arming for their own protection, but when it is apparent that such resistance would cause them to be slain by thousands without in any way ameliorating their condition, it can readily be seen that it would be folly for th neeme to do an pishop Turner advise them, anil the old man will probably ndmlt a much himself when Ma anger mot off. 11a baa simply let hi Indignation (, tha belter of bis Judgment, a thins not surprising, when the provocation has ha is considered. Notwithstanding that be was un graciously kicked out of onVe for turn log sihirite, the lion, lloku I'oku Hmith of UeorgU suy It Is his opinion that the Cleveland administration will live In history, a thought which a He. publican editor I so mean as to sug nest mum havo been Inspired by ih fact that lloku was for a time a part tif Unit administration himself.

It Is the opinion of Senator fr'tewnrt of Nevada that tlruver Cleveland and Jolin riimn are tha two gre.it, enmlcs of the American people that were ever born. The Nevada statesman has long been noted for seeing thing through colored spectacle. "Will Serve Out Their Terms. If Postmaster General Gary strictly adheres to his reported Intention of permitting lienioeratlc postmasters who are faithful In the performance; of their duties to serve out their terms, no one win have reasonable cause for complaint. The policy of the Republican party, as outlined In tho St.

Louis plntform. Is to encourage practicable and sensible civil service reform and the retention of competent postmasters In olllee until the txplratlon of tho term for which they were appointed Is in keep liiir with that theory. There was a wonderful amount of humbug connected with the civil service business as carried on by the Democrats under the Cleveland regime, but it is to the credit of Postmaster General Wilson that he was not fav oruble to the removal of Republican postmasters, merely to make room fsr Democrats, although that was the rule most adhered to In other departments of the public service, and If Mr. Gary shall adopt a similar course to wurd Democratic postmasters, It will not lie to his discredit. The probability Is that under the new administration of the postofllce department the removal of postmasters without cause before the expiration of the time for which they are appointed will cease to be practiced.

The good roads movement Is a good thing and will, we trust, result in a great improvement in thu country highways. In the meantime It would also be a good thine If some wideawake and energetic persons would get to gether and form an association for pushing a good streets movement right here In the city of Seranton. During the sixty days session of the Oklahoma legislature six hundred bills were introduced, ninety six of which became laws. Two thirds of these, the Chicago Times Herald declares, will be knocked out by the supreme court. The licit ish Debt.

Great Britain has an enormous na tional debt, but it is not now as large as it once was. When Queen Victoria, as cended the throne, nearly sixty years ago, the nation owed the enormous sum of but during that gracious sovereign's reign there has been a gradual reduction averaging a little over annually, so that at the present time the debt is over a billion dollars less than it was in J. This decrease gives great satisfaction to Englishmen and is frequently referred to in connection with the coming jubilee in commemoration of Victoria's long and successful reign. It would be interesting to trace this vast burden resting upon the English people back to its origin and explain in detail how it came to exist, but this would require considerable research. Suffice it to say that the larger proportion of the present British debt waa incurred in consequence of the Napoleonic wars and is therefore only one of the many things which still remain to remind the world that there was once such a man as the little Corslcan.

Na poleon needs no monument of stone to keep alive his memory: the indebt edness of the nation which finally overthrew all his greatness and drove him into miserable exile, will do that for several centuries to come, for should the English keep on paying the principal at the rate of $10,000,000 a year, which is not likely, nearly two hundred and twenty years must elanse, before the entire obligation is discharged. Senator Stewart defends his state against the charge that it did wrong in passing a law legalizing prize fightir.e As a logic twister, the Nevada statesman has few equals and no superior. A peerage is a prize most Englishmen would be only too glad to obtain, but it doesn't tdmpt Gladstone. The crown is willing to bestow such an honor upon the Grand Old Man as ont o. the features of the queen's celebration, but he says he doesn't want it.

He has lived a commoner and intends to die one. Xovcl Bill. That crusade against the Chifago department store appears to be an unusually determined affair and has been carried into the legislature in earnest. A member named Suttle has introduced a bill, which, if it becomes a law, will prevent any corporation from engaging in the mercantile business in the state of Illinois, the first section of which reads as follows: From and after the taking effect of this act it shall be unlawful for any person or persons to form a corporation for the purpose of engaging in any mercantile business for the "sale or exchange of any kind of merchandise at retail; and all such corporations heretofore organized or existing under the laws of the state for the purpose of earrying on such retail business shall terminate and cease to exist, except for the purpose of enforcing the contracts and obligations held by them, and for the purpose of being compelled to liquidate their liabilities within six months from the time this act takes efiect. The bill further provides that no foreign corporation shall carry on any retail mercantile business the state of Illinois from and after six months from the time said act shall take ef fi ct.

For violation of the act a fine of one thousand dollars is imposed fir each retail sale or exchange any corporation may make, one hulf of which fine shall go to the state and the other fcalf to whoever makes the complaint. The idea of preventing a corporation fiom dcing business is certainly a very novel one and will doubtless so strike the majority of the Illinois legislators, thus preventing them from passing a TIIE PCHANTOX ItEriTOUCAX, SATURDAY MORXING, MAECII 20, 1897. law which woubl vry likely prove In. oiratlva. for such a nieanurw rannot be (ended on constitutional ground.

PEN AND SCISSORS, A few days previous to the Corbett Fitzsimmons affray the Chicago News poet got oft the following: This is what he thought in brief Kickumface Indian chief.

As he dozed upon a hill iNear the spot pitched for the mill: "Ugh! Oomph! Fight by rule? Wagh! White man much heap fool! See the red man, Fltzumbob Him big, skinny, no good, slob! Him toll tall Jim, 'Meet me fair' Fight up light upon the square Work hard gettuin ready tm Stand right up and light like men! One fall down, no fair can kick No can smashum head with brick!

It is an old story that when Heenan and Sayers were to pummel each other of the pugilistic glory of their respective countries, years and years ago, a convocation of clergymen was in session in London. The proceedings waned in interest because the news of tho fight was coming in at a sporting resort near by. The distinguished divine who was presiding, seeing the diversion of attention from holier things, undertook to rebuke so deplorable an exhibition ot human weakness. "Brethren," he said, "it shocks me beyond measure to see your minds diverted by such a thing as a prize fight. I see no reason why this brutal, bestial meeting should be entitled to a moment's consideration, especially as it is a foregone conclusion that there is not a man in the world who can whin Flattering the Dliilry Bill.

There doosieetn possible a pretty good protection, however. Trie UKKntlon lies in a eiuly published invention for const rut ling prison doors and window giulllius. The Idea was to make them of ordinary Heel pipes, all tilled with Hmuii! under prciurc, and connected by a main pipe with an alarm which would operate by reduction 'f pressure.

Attempted sawing lets the Imuld escape and rings the bell. If such a scm ino were iiplied to a safe, by traversing it mi all sides, cither inside the outer plates or outside, and u'fe connected with an alarm set on a hul.o port prominent on the sidewalk, it ought to come near being good protection. The door could be arranged with piston ami cylinder In side the safe, so that opening the door would set off the alarm. Then drilling nt the lock, driving In the spindle or other successlul attack on the liM'k would still leave the burglar nt the mercy of the alarm when he opens the dtx.r. Nitro glycerlne, dynamite or powder would also effect the ringing of the alarm, and the plan would also protect against the electric arc itself, since the network of small pipes would be In the way of any large arc for mere drilling at the lock would be no better than a drill, since the opening of the door would eventually ring the alarm.

in. Instead of fixing the pipe system to the safe, construct It as a cage to contain the safe, the cage being large enough to make the safe inaccessible to the hands of the burglar. a system would be protective, at least, until the burglar, already an expert electrician, had time to become a master plumber and pipelitter, and could invent schemes for beating the alarm, NEW YORK'S GLOVE TnDUSTRY An Army of Workers In Making lliiml t'oveilucs. It is often a matter of surprise that Gloversville, In Fulton county, N. should be a large manufacturing centre of the article from which the town takes its name, despite the fact that it is so far removed from great commercial circles.

The explanation of this is that years ago this place was a centre for the peddlers wno sold their wares In the Adirondack region. They took deer skins in exchange for many of their goods, and these they brought to the little village of Gloversville, where the hides were dressed and tanned, and then they were cut and made up into gloves by the women and children. The entire community being thus engaged in glove making it was natural that improved machinery should gradually supplant hand labor, and now, though the skins are no longer produced there, the stock being imported chiefly from Central America, this village, which has grown to a town of 1S.OII0 inhabitants, is still the centre of a large glove industry. In a report prepared for the committee on Ways and Means relative to the glove industry of Fulton county, N. the folowing figures appear: Men employed in factories making gloves and mittens.

women employed in the same factories, 7.00O; women employed making gloves in their homes, 2,000. To these people Is paid annually in wages, and the sales amount to $12,000,000. The capital invested is upward of $5,500,000. In addition to the glove industry Fulton county is a headquarters for glove leather, employing about 2,000 people In its manufacture. GERMANY'S POTATO CROPS They Arc Larger Than Those of Any Ollur Country.

Germany is the greatest potato growing country in the world. The crop of the four principal tuber raising countries of Europe in 1SIMJ amounted to tSS.020.000 tons, of which 34.4S1.000, a little more than half, was produced in Germany; 21,000.000 In France; 7, 005.000 in England, ana 2,050,000 in Belgium. Four years ago the total production was less than 50,000,000 tons for the same countries. The United States ranks after England. It is not astonishing to see Germany at the head of the potato producing countries of the world, for this precious tuber is not only employed for food, but enormous quantities are required for industrial purposes; for for the distilling of alcohol and the manufacture of starch.

The total production of potatoes on the globe is estimated nt considerably more: that Is about 00,000, 000 tons. CORN. In Elkdale.March 14, 1807, to Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Cole, a daughter.
