AUGUST 29, 1891

PENNSYLVANIA FOR BLAINE. The Pennsylvania State republican Convention met at Harrisburg last week. It passed many resolutions, the principal one of which relating to the presidency was as follows: ri. It has been with especial gratification that tho Republicans of this commonwealth have observed the brilliant administration of the State Department of one of Pennsylvania's native sons, whose superb diplomacy has electrified, the hearts of all A mericans, exacted from foreign people a degree of respect and admiration for tho United States nag hi the to unequaled and opened wide to us and other lands commercial gates heretofore barred. In view of his magnificent achievements in dipoinaev and statecraft, we earnestly express that the Republican national convention of 1892 may place in unanimous nomination for the presidency -which, a nomination we feel assured will bo followed by a triumphant election- -the lion.

James G. lilaine of Pennsylvania and Main. It is quite evident from the outspoken words of leading republicans over the country in favor of lilaine that Harrison if determined to be a candidate for renomination next year will find it fully as difficult as in 18S3 to secure it. There is a very strong sentiment for Blaine, and if he so chooses, he would undoubtedly defeat any other man in his party for the nomination. While there is this favorable feeling toward Blaine, an opposite sentiment seems to be spreading toward Harrison. The opposition is daily becoming more pronounced. There are many influential republicans strongly opposed to him, among them Quay, of

Pennsylvania, Farwell, of Illinois, Dudley. of Indiana, anil scores of others It will take much diplomatic work and an abundance of political strategy to overcome this sentiment or the influence of the opposition to Harrison. It would seem now that all Blaine would have to do is to speak the word and the nomination is his in spite of Harrison and his myriadsi office holders..

REPUBLICAN FRAUDS. Following is a list of Republican frauds as seer, by the Kansas Times: 1. Wanamaker and hi bank operation at which would have blushed. -2. Rauin and the pension nipulations.

Foster's book-keeping and deficit concealing. f. The tin-plate tariff, which has raised prices without establishing an American industry, thereby enriching a gang of speculators mil of the necessities of consumers. ."i. The bullion purchase coinage stopping silver law. bv which the last Congress tried to degi It silver into a mere market commodity. (. Reciprocity: limited to countries which buy the least from lis. A grudging concession to Democratic principles.

If there is a hurrah it should be for McCreary and reciprocity, since the Kentucky Congressman exhaustively treated the subject before Mr. Blaine thought of it. 7. Higher wool duties, which have lowered the price of wool to tile producing farmers.

H. Matt (vuay. who is compelled toretire from the chairmanship, but is retained as adviser to the Republican commit tee.

Pretense that the return of pros perity is due to Republican acts when it is wholly the European crop failuresand would come in greater volume if trade had not been incumbered. 10. The impudent statement that this is a billion country a wordy excuse for making national expenditures six times greater than in ISDO, though the popula tion has only doubled. .11. I lenioeratie speakers in the States where elections are held this year have a fruitful theme and ready listeners.

BANKS VS. ASSESSMENTS. It any person having a duposit of cast), say. in any sum from £."00 to i? 1.000 in any bank which Vie places there to avoid taxation, as many do. what righl has any bank ollicial to protect him from tin investigations of the assessor on the plea that kite business betwej'ti him and the bank is inviolable and must be kept secret. There may be. and doubtless are. many transactions between banks and individuals which should be unknown and which concerns the public not in the least, but concealing cash which is property anil should be taxed, is not one of them. The now tax law only sewks to have every citizen do his honefct duty toward the State and county. It tloes not aim to pry into the business secrets of any man, and no man will be compelled to pay taxes on property not assessable. Banks have no more right to conceal any of their business when comes in conflict with a law. than would a dry goods, clothing or manufacturing establishment.

ALLIANCE PROFESSIONS. Speculation in grain has been denounced in unmeasured terms on the part of the allvince and many others engaged iu agriculture, yet none seem to take more readily to it when they imagine a good opportunity offers than these same men. Only the other day when wheat was 81.00 per bushel, and which is an excellent price, numbors of farmers holding wheat refused to sell at that figure, saying they would wait as it would, they knew, go to a higher figure. This is iu line with thousands of speculators on boards of trade in several cities of the country. They seek to "bull' or raise prices. There is not one of these men who rail against speculation in grain so loudly but what would ongage in the same business themselves were they sure of profiling by it. This is one instance where their assertions prove so hypocritical and false. They denounce in others what tf.-v would engage in themselves. AI' t' ey lack is the "nerve of the professional speculator. If all the principles avowed by the alliance are as hollow a" hat relating to speculation in grain then there is little in them worthy of seri-ju consideration. They must practice ,vi .t they preach to receive the atten'.i.i of the public. They must prove their f.-.iits by their works. After all it will be found that alliance people have as ui"ch human nature in them as the rest of mankind, and will take advantage of any speculation for their personal ben'-iit just as quickly as other classes and regardless of their professions.

THE "HOLT 00AT."

They are exhibiting now at a church in the city of Trevs, in Germany, what is alleged as a coat once worn by the Savior, Jesus Christ. Thev flock to see it by thousands daily, and the city is receiving a great pecuniary benefit from the amounts of money ieft by visitors. The garment is seamless, plain and of ordinary texture, and may have been worn by Him and may not. Religious enthusiasm often makes people, act foolish. ridiculous, non sensical and intollerent. We prefer to believe the thing a fraud the work of a zealous fanatic. It is much more probable that nothing of the line of clothing, whatever it may be composed of. could be preserved that length of time, over 1,800 years, at least there are no records showing any such thing. Kept concealed and away from air it might, otherwise not. But yet thousands of people, judging from the accounts, without questioning the assertion, look upon tho garment-as having actually been worn by the Savior while on earth, and exhibit much feeling while inspecting it. American people loVe to lie humbugged and Europeans likewise, judging from this. If P. T.

Barnum were living now he would have that "coat" sure, if any sum of money could buy it. and would double his money on the investment, if Americans were as susceptible as Europeans, and thev generally seem to be.

DOUBTFUL.

Kulogies of late George JOIICM.editor of the New York Times, state as an instance of his high integrity ol character and incorruptibility, that he was offered *5.000,000 on one invasion if he would not make public and expose the thieveries of the Tweed ring. This may be true but we doubt it much, and we should demand the most undoubted pro:if of it. There is not more'than one man in 10.00(1 that could or would resist such an offer. Human nature is very weak. Money defeats everything but death. five million dollars! A great big fortune, and offered simply to keep still. Not much! Some man has drawn on his imagination for this statement regarding .Mr. .Jones without question. The five millions would produce ease, pleasure, glory. The publishing of disclosures of the Tweed ling would not bring a tenth of it. It sounds grand to speak of high sense of honor, incorruptible character and all such endearing words, but live million dollars with men in 100 beats these all out ot sight. We don't believe such assertions and doubt if many others do. So long as money is the god to be worshipped over all other idols so long will assertions about incorruptibility be doubted, Man kind is not generally constructed just as lie is sometimes pictured and .Mr. Junes was. no doubt, overdrawn.

I'M.tries in many different shapes exists in Kansas. There arc nine district judges to elect litis fall. The constitution of the alliance forbids the occupancy of these otlices by lawyers.. The republicans and democrats lave for once united in the light and jointly will aim to defeat the alliance candidates. llo\r any one. not it lawyer, can lill the ortice of judge with satisfaction to the people is a question not yet demonstrated. Inn the alliance in Kansas, which is stronger there than in any other state, will iiim to show how it is done if it can elect its ticket.

(II I-'.K.N SMITH,attorney-general for the state, appears to be a real handy man to have around at meetings of the state board of tax commissioners, when the bluffers for various corporations of the state aim to get in their vork on the board by having their assessments ducetl when they ought not to be. lfis advice in matters of this kind will prove of vast value to the tax-pavers hereafter, and there will be found to be a more general equality of assessments on prop ertv than heretofore.

GAS HEATING THIS WINTER. Tho question is being often asked now "Are we to have natural gas for our stoves this wintor in Crawfordsville." We must confess it begins to look doubtful, judging from the slow movements of the company. The company has spent all summer getting stock secured and obtaining the right of way. Tho fall months aro very near at hand and not a shovel of dirt toward excavating has yet been thrown, nor a rod of casing delivered. There would be 15 miles of streets to be lain after tho thirty-six from Sheridan have been completed, but not a stop in the direction of this has yet been taken. Of course a force of two or three hundred men could do much work between this and cold weather, but indications do not point to any particular speed in the matter. Those who delayed the purchase of coal in anticipation of burning natural gas this winter, can, we believe, go ahead with their coal buying, for oven if gas is piped here it will not be in time to supply all who may want it.

HORSE ASSESSMENT.

The horse, Axtell, the highest priced horse in the world, is owned at Terre Haute. The owner paid $105,000 for him. and last year received over $50,000 from various persons for breeding purposes. The assessor at Terre Haute, a brilliant fellow, no doubt,, as most assessors are, put down the value of the horse for taxation purposes at only £500. By what method he arrived at the conclusion that for taxable purposes the horse was worth no more than 8500 is not known, but good sense and justice would certainly not allow any such figures and the state board of

Review will certainly raise them to something near the value of the animal. The owner of the horse, it is stated, threatens to remove him from the state if it is assessed at its value. By all means let him go. If he has anything, animate or inanimate, that is making him a fortune, but will not pay taxes upon it, make him pay anyhow, whatever may be his opinions or wishes to to the contrary. As the alliance are after him down there it is quite probable that he will pay or move (in in this particular instance.

BANKS AND DEPOSITORS. If those bankers who are so solicitous about exposing their depositors through the requirements of the new tax law will suggest some practical constitutional plan by which so many individuals with bank deposits can lie forced to pay their jttst share of taxation on their property then there will not hereafter be any cause for so much nervousness on their part and the proposed examination of books and papers of banks will be thing of the past. All on the premises that the law contemplates is equality in taxation in proportion to property owned, ainl this is found on good sense, ust ice. equity. Certainly no law is constitutional nor just which allows advantages over one class of citizens by the other. There is certainly no law intend ed which will permit, a bank or any other institution to aid any individual in evading the execut it ill if

ftAIN FALL.

The government is making experiments to produce falls of rain in Texas and with fair prospects of success. A compound of giant powder, dynamite and oxyhydrogen gas. is sent up by kites and balloons into the air for a distance of several hundred yards and exploded. Copious showers of rain have fallen soon after these explosions. If a sue cess the matter of drouths will soon be at an end, and localities suffering from them will complain no longer.

Til i: cot ton planters in many stats of the south have agreed to form a trust by holding back from sale the cotton gathered this fall until the price for it is nearer what they consider it should be. The price is about (i cents. The trust will demand 10 cents. The trust has about the same ubject its the farmers' wheat trust, it wants higher prices paid and withholds its products in consequent

JOHN .1. INOW.I.S. a former senator from Kansas is on a lecturing tour in the south. In a recent address to the citizens of a city in (icorgia he declared that the negro was a political mistake and that had northern people been placed in the position of the southern people they would have fought the Force bill with equal vigor. Ingalls will yet popularize himself if he continues in a onscrvative course.
