Governor Russell, of Massachusetts, is sometimes talked of as a presidential possibility, or, should the democrats nominate a Western man, a good running mate for vice president. At the banquet of the Young Men’s Democratic club of the State to celebrate Jefferson’s birthday—with 1,200 men present, not one over fifty—the governor sounded the key-note of the Massachusetts Democracy as to the presidency, when he said: WhereTs the unprejudiced man who will not confess that the standard of official life was distinctly raised by the courage, devotion and patriotism of Grover Cleveland? Who does not know that he lifted politics from petty personal or party strife for power to the higher plane of princioiple and education, and has carried the whole country with him, not merely in the decision of an economic question but in its determination that the great powers of government and the people’s law shall be founded on those principles of justice, equality and freedom which Jefferson handed down to us as our faith and io our country as its priceless heritage? The Republican Chicago Tribune has been asking Major McKinley some interesting questions. Commenting on his recent speeches glorifying his tariff law and predicting it a permanence, the Tribune goes for the major in this fashion: How silly to declare publicly with such seeming confidence that this mill boss bill will not be repealed in 10 years, when at this moment everything political is so fluid and uncertain! How does he know that the tlection of 1892 will not be a repetition of that of 1890? How does he know that the next House, a Democratic one, will net pass bills cutting off the heaviest and most onerous advances in his tariff law? How does he know that the senate, though Republican, will not have enough moderate protection Republican members to pass those bills, fearing th y would lose their seats if they vote against them? How does he know that President Harrison will not sign those bills modifying hie ultra duties? Owing to the Lrge stock of goods yet on hand imported under the lower duties last fall consumers have not feltjyet, except as to a]few articles, the effect of the McKinley bill.— When those stocks are worked off they

will feel it all along the line. Dreading higher prices for necessaries, they voted for Democratic candidates last year. Seeing that what they feared has come to pass, will they not vote for them next year? And the Tribune fails to take into account disturbed labor conditions, declining wages with increased prices of necessaries. The Boston Transcript, Republican, observedthe other day: “It savors of hardihood for Hon. Mr. McKinley to visit this State for the purpose of extolling the tariffs and customs legislation of the last Congress and commending it to the acceptance of the People of Massachusetts, whose verdict on that measure was so emphatically pronounced at the last November election that none but stone blind polticians could mistake the purport of the judgment rendered.— The conditions which produced that decision still exist here in their full force, and it is the height of idiocy to fight another political battle in this State on that issue which proved disastrous only a few months ago. Ex Senator John B. Henderson, of St. Louis, who was the permanent chairman of the Republican National Convention of 1884 and has lately been prominent as one of Blaine's Pan-Americana, recently said: “As a Republican, I think the extravagance of the Congress just apiourned was sm outrage upon the party and the people. However the appropriations may be justified, the fact that they reach <1 000 000 - 000 is of itself appalling. No such enormity of appropriations have been voted since the war, and occurring in a time of profound peace as this is, and when the greatest economy was demanded, no excuse can be offered for the extravagance. The Republicans in Congress must have proceeded on the theory that they were not coming into power ag iip for about 400 J earß, «. v. I hope that if we have another Republican Congress soon, it will devote itself to methods of economy different from those observed bv the Fifty-first Congress." WAGES AND TARIFFS. [Philadelphia Record.] Serap iron is the raw material used by the New Haven Rolling Mill Company.The tariff duty on scrap iron is $6.72 per ton. If the company did not have to pay this duty it could keep its mill running. It has been employing 125 men, and wo d employ 250 if it should be unhampered by tariff restriction. As a final effort to go on it made a proposition to its employes, who were getting from $3 to $4 per day, to reduee their wages from 10 to ' 20 per cent. The offer having been refused, the mills hav. suspended work indefinitely; and 125 men are thrown out of emplovment This is a very simple story, and a very common one. To those who insist that high tariffs and high wages grow on the same bush it will afford a theme for curious specula ion.

IS IT A TIN PANIC?

The Natubal Results of Tampering With the Cubbents of Trade. [Boston Transcript (Rep.)] The first fruits of the McKinley bill, it will be remembered, were a money stringency early last fall, caused in part by the locki g up of all the money available to merchants in the importation of dry goods, woolens, etc., rushed in to take advantage of the lower rates of duty before the bill should become a law. A similar financial difficulty is threatened now on account of the McKinley duty on tin, which on July Ist doubles the existing duty. Of course, consumers and importers havs been straining every nerve to pile up and carry all that ean be afforded by cash or credit at tho old prices. The British producers a year ago clapped on just as much increase of their price as the McKinle, duty, coldly calculating on the certain and plain necessity of the Americans to stock up in advance of the taking effect of that duty. They have had a rich harvest in supplying us for a long term ahead at fancy prices. But such prosperity brings ts Nemesis in overdoing, and to-day it is announced that the great Welsh producers are to shut down for a month—a bad sign as to the immediate f iture of their market. But a fall in the metal price could do s little good, with our stores already filled to bursting with supplies bought at high prices. So does the wisdom of man monkeying with the great currents of trade produce loss and distress for the masses—while a few able capitalists get richer still—on two sides of the Atlantic. If there be tin enough to supply ourselves in this country and to spare, as is vocifer ously asserted, the time would have come soon enough naturally for its developopment, without this disturbance.

Sixty-three cents per oath is what a Sunbury (Pa.) man.was compelled to pay by a justice of the peace. The[defendant was charged withjs wearing 27 times,so that he had to pay S2O, including the fine and the costs of the prosecution. These cases come up occasionally and are always interesting. What a time there would be if everybody who indulged in profanity was arrestedand brought to trial. No Show for the Hypocrite. “No church on earth," says the Anderson Bulletin, “is strong enough to save the soul of a man who joined to catch trade.” Nor the man whose object may be personal advancement.

OBITUARY.

On Saturday, April 18th, in Medaryville, death entered the family of James R. and Celia Guild and took their second child, Grace A. In fifteen years of married life this was the first time death had visited this home. His entrance was sudden and the shock severe. His victim was out down at the age of 11 years, 2 months and 22 days. At home and at school Grace was more than an ordinary child in spirit of obedience, patience, loving disposition and in her habits of punctuality and piety.— For five years she was neither tardy nor absent at the West Vernon School, in Gillam township, and won the star prize for regularity and punctuality. During her sickness she said she did not expect to get well. She prayed much and said to ber parents “It is all right, do not grieve for me. ” “ She is not dead, the child of our affection, Bnt gone unto that school, Where she no longer needs our poor protection, And Christ Himself doth rule.’’ A greater than the poet said." Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of

heaven.”

Mrs. Jane Chestnut, mother of MrsFletcher Monnett, died at the home of her daughter, north of Rensselaer, last Monday night, aged 84 years. Carl Melchow died at the home of his parinents in this township, a short distance from Rensselaer, Thursday morning at 1 o’clock, aged about 25 years. Funeral services to-day in charge of K. of/P.— Interment in Crockett ceme ery. He leaves a young wife, father, mother, and many friends to mourn over their bereavement.
