A political cyclone is forming in • Pennsylvania. Prominent Republicans are kicking against Boss Quay’s rule. They demand his . withdrawal from the party’s man; agement. Calico Charley seems to be comining to the front as a manipulator since being placed in charge of a portfolio at Washington, D. C. He will soon equal Quay or any other member of the gang, if he has a ohance. Should the Republican party be > successful in 1892, and fail to get a tool for the chief executive, then the gang will need another “Guitteau,” and we want to place before them the name of W. E. Ashcraft as a “stalwart of the stalwarts.’’ What is the matter with the Republican party, that we do not hear of the great American tin industries? This state was to have four Greenfield, Muncie, Manon and Anderson, each was to be blessed with large manufactories of American tin plate ready to start as soon as the McKinley tariff went into effect. The signatures of the worthies who affixed their names to the Declaration of Independence have just been sold in England for 84,250. If any one could have deliyered their bodies into the hands of the English about mk months after the instrument was signed, he would have made a larger sum than this—-if he had convinced the authorities that he held the original • set. Secresaby of State, James G. Blaine, is said to be in a precarious condition, that at least he cannot survive until winter. Brights disease of the kidneys is doing the work that will bring the magnetic statesman on a level with all the rest of mankind. While this seems to be the facts with his case, yet there are some who persist in placing his name again before the people as a presidential candidate in 1892, on the same ticket that defeated him before. Honest John Wannamaekr, of the Po stoffice Department, seems to be in trouble yet, the great bank failure's of Philadelphia are still annoying him, at least the committee of investigation of the recent bank failures have been proding him to make him explain how he stood with the banks at the time of their failure. The committee may feel that the best thing for them to do will be to whitewash some of the heads of departments of the government to help out, if they should “Honest John,” may be among the number, for they know that he is a good boodle raiser. The howl set up by a large number of the Republican juounals, that corporations would be benefited by the new tax law is fast losing its force, if it had any. The complaints of the different corporations show conclusively that they are the ones that the new law will bring to the front with an assessment near epual with the poor man’s property, and when tax payers come up to pay-tbeir taxes next April, they will find that the new law is tot the benefit of the class that have heretofore borne the %urden of taxaation. The new tax law like the Australian election law cause the press of the Republican party to howl but the the people have to do with the election law the l better they like it, and so it will be with the new tax law when once got into successful operation it will give the best of satisfaction. ■-. ■ •

As the contract with the Sun Vapor street light company will soon expire, it is necessary that the council prepare for the lighting of the city in some manner, and the sooner they commence to get ready for it the better the chance to save some money for the taxpayers. Should they conclude to retain the lights that we now have, they had better look after the cost at once so that they can be secured at the very lowest rate possible, and if they conclude to change them, let them look around for the substitute. Should they conclude to light the city by electricty, the question of how it should be done will require their attention, and they cannot give it too much thought before hand in the short amount of time they have to do the work of the city in. While if the act is lawful we would favor a plant of the city’s own, and believe that the same would soon pay for itself and be a source of revenue to the city, besides furnishing all the light that is nesessary for the city by placing a light at every other square, the city can be well lighted at about the same rate that we now pay for the lights we have. Let the question be investigated and the arrangements made so that when the time comes for a change there will be no hitch in the matter. The Midvale steel works near Philadelphia are among the greatest establishments of the kind in the world. They have a large contract from the government for heavy cannon and ordnance and have just booked a large order for locomotives from Japan, being the first order of the kind from that country ever placed in the United States. In a circular just issued the proprietors of these works say: “We are especially proud of this order, as it was taken in spite of the most determined opposition of the English and German manufacturers, and in spite of the fact of our being handicapped by the present high duties on raw materials. The Midvale tire is winning a name for itself in South Africa, Australia, Cuba, Mexico, Chilli, Peru and other foreign countries; and we believe when the iniquitous tax on raw materials has been removed and we are placed on an even footing with the manufacturers of Europe, that it will be as well and favoiably known on the railroads of foriegn countries as it is on those of the United States. With a fair field and free access to the raw material markets we will be prepared to compete for the tire business of the world and we ask no favors.” Here is a good text for a campaign speech by Maj. McKinley. The McKinley organs are trying to make some capital out of a recent decline in the price of linseed oil, in the face of an increase of the duty by the biJJjoji dollar congress. The duty is 25 cents, which was in force before the McKinley bill became a law, was propibitory. Under its protection the domestic manufacturers had organized a trust and forced the price up to 62 cents. - For some inscrutable reason the McKinley Jaw raised the duty to 32 cents. Recently there a break in prices, and linseed oil has sold as low as. 47 cents. The decline was due to a fight on the trust by a few independent producers, and there is every reason to believe that it will prove but temporary. The fight will doubtless end in a new combination which will proceed to force prices to the highest point permitted by the McKinley duty—in other words 32 cents higher than European prices. Nothing is more certain than that the linseed oil trust did not induce McKinley to reduce the duty on linseed oil in order to diminish its price, and the country may rest assured that no sueh permanent effect will follow, Senatoa Ste w art, of Nevada, is reported as saying that th,ey wijl have a free coinage man for presir dent in 1892, if they haye to take a Piute Indian for their candidate. The Senator ihr| feel that a figure bead is all the same whether a white man or an Indian.

lit oUIJ/ItIOXIX IO IT.I. Ah bough the tai iff and the silver question and the transportation question are ali involved in the pending lowa campaign, the overshadowing issue is that of prohibition. The Democratic platform is square-toed upon the question. It says: We demand the repeal of the prohibitory liquor law, and in the interest of true temperance we favor the passage of a carefully guarded license-tax law, which shall provide for the issuance of licenses in towns, townships and municipal corporations, and which shall provide that for each license an annual tax of 8500 be paid into the county treasury, and such further tax as the town, township or municipal corporation shall provide, the proceeds thereof to go to the use of such municipalities. Prohibition has been thoroughly tested in lowa and it has proved a monstrous failure. Its practical workings were well described by the chairman of the Ottumwa convention, Congressman Butler: For eight long years the people of our state have been cursed by the presence of the informer and the spy. Homes have been searched on the merest pretext, private business interfered with, suspicions acted upon as certainties, brutalities practiced, and even murders attempted in the name of a law which has in its favor neither the merit of justice nor the support of public opinion. Sumptuary legislation has placed upon our statute books a law which assumes to control the appetite and personal habits of our people. While thus interfering with man’s inherent rights, it has so far, failed in its intended work that, whereas there ' were in lowa in 1883 3,974 places where liquors were sold, in thepres- , ent year of grace there are 5,8G8. Believers m true and practical tem- , perance can tolerate the farce no longer. The Democratic party of lowa proposes to replace this measure of fanaticism with a rational law which will command obedience and re- . spect of the people. In this righteous enterprise the lowa Democrats will have the support of the best public sentiment of their state,' and : the sympathy of enlightened and ( broad-minded people of all parties throughout the country.—lndianapolis Sentinel. The report of the Bureau of ’ Statistics for May 31, 1891, « shows that the total number of im- ! migrants that arrived in the United States at the principal ports for the • month ending May 31, 1891, was 1 85,941, against 82,994 for the same ' month in 1890. For the five months 1 ending May 31, 1891, the uumber arrived was 25G,990 against 211,227 for the corresponding period m 1890. The number for the eleven months ending May 31, 1890, was ■ 187,179; for the eleven months ending May 31, 1891, 401,000. During the eleven months there was an increase of 6,500 in the number of immigrants from Bohemia, of nearly 6,000 from Hungary, of 20,000 from Italy, of 15,000 from Poland and 9,000 from Russia, except Poland, these countries showing relatively the greatest increase. The number of immigrants from Germany increased from 84,630 to 102,994, and from the United Kingdom there wasa reduction from 108,831 to 107,773. For the fiscal year ending June .30, 1891, the total immigration from all countries will reach nearly 600,000. This is the largest number in any one year since 1883, when 603,322 immigrants arrived. High water mark was reached in the way of immigration was reached in the year ending June 30, 1882, the total being 788,992. The tide is again rising, and if it were not for the restrictions the law imposes and the hints the steamship com-; panies have received to be Jess ac- ! tive in their efforts to fill their ships 1 bound here with human freight, the coming fiscal ye/r would witness arrivals unexampled in numbers. The United States has room and to spare for all desirable immigrants who may come; but, large as | it is. it has not room for the dregs of Europe, and many of the steam- j ship lines have po scruples about' gathering up and bringing over these.' !!!"■■■—■•JUL The increase in the observance of the Fourth of July in the south is marked and encouraging.
