PAUtfER FOR SENATOR. An Iuao?xti'3a Which Promises to Be #’&rrlSeacM»g ta Its Effects. There is something wonderfully pleasing to the ear ia the words of General Palmer at Springfield: “The purpose is that hereafter these Senators shall be nusde responsible; their acts shall fee inquired into, and they shall be called to account for them just as other people are. That is the purpose of the movement. It is to popularize ths Senate of the United States.” John Id. Palmer’s candidacy is based on the abov8 principle. He has been nominated for the United States Senate by conventions of the people in one hundred counties sad by the combined and unanimous voice of delegates from all these counties in State convention assembled. No more spontaneous popular call was e ver recei ved by an African political loader, and in these days of bought. Sossatorships, of trades and bribes, ami of official dereliction, the Illinois uprising may be properly regarded as the beginning of a new and a better day. It certainly means much. Its results must be far-reaching. It is more than a reform. It is a revolution, peaceful and beneficent, but none the less radical-and fundamental. ‘The .United States Senate must be popularized, or the government of the people will not endure. Devised at the beginning as a body in which States were to be represented, as an organization of wise and good men who would solemnly weigh all measures coming before then, and as a conservative force in a government remarkable for its checks and balances, it has ceased to hold in the Federal system the place that was assigned to it Many of its members represent States no longer. They, notoriously represent railroads, mines, forests, mills and commercial combinations. Elected by the use of . money, they do not recognize any popular authority. They stand defiantly for monopoly and privilege. . Instead of being an organization of wise and conservative men, the Senate is as a whole a body of violent partisans, impudent money-bags and subservient tools of the rings and combines that oppress the people. The need of popularizing that House is imperative. Illinois is well situated to inaugurate the reform, and the honest and progressive Democracy of this State is peculiarly well fitted to illustrate the determination and the virtue of a free peoplo. As the leader in this momentous struggle General 1’ahnor will be engaged in a labor entirely to his liking andfor vvfe'ch he has pre-eminentquaiifl-cations. ‘Profoundly impressed with the dignity of American citizenship and with the importance of maintaining every popular right, and fittingly representing he sturdy manhood and patriosm oUA mericae democracy, he can not fail in the laborious canvass on which he fa about to enter to make an impression that will extend far beyond the lines of his own State. The cause which he is to champion must triumph eventually The Herald believes that it will triumph now.—Chicago Herald. URIAH HEffp WANAMAKER. tjgiy Fectfi Bronglit to Ught by the Closing: of a Berlin Cloak Factory. The recent closing of John Wanamaker’s branch factory in Berlin brings to light some very ugly facts It seems that while this Christian statesman was posing as a model business man ho was having his work done by cheap white slaves in Germany. At a time when he was boring Sundayschool children to death with his stupid platitudes about the blessings of Christianity and the happiness of a virtuous life, be was driving hundreds of girls to a fate worse than death by making them work for an average wage of two dollars and a half a week. The fact also comes out- that the contractor made double the wages allowed the girls, and the garments were sent to Philadelphia, where they were sold at good prices for Wanamaker’s benefit. This little chapter shows how our Postmaster-General is able to contribute so liberally to the Republican campaign fund. He simply makes use of the blood and tears of the poor to perpetuate his power in a party of robbers.

AVhon Schuyler Colfax went down under a heavier load of infamy and bitterer curses than ever damned any other American public man, people hoped that the Christian statesman business was played out. But fraud springs up everywhere and at all times to Ell the high places of honor and profit, and the Wanamakers will be with us until honest men band together and turn the rascals out. W&n&makorism is linked with MoKihlcyisro under the loudest and falsest professions of honesty and justice. The representatives of these twin evils propose to rob the poor so that the rich may revel iu the deep damnation of this fraudulent philanthropy and sham religion. ‘The real oppressors of the poor— the worst enemies of their race—the most cruel of all slave-drivers, are not the men whose vices and loose living excite ouy horror. On the contrary, they are the 3U!oo'4b and decorous devils of society—the Blifilis and Uriah Beeps, whose road to success is drenched with the tears of the victims of their progress and pa troll ago. Bough words, these. Perhaps they will make the Philadelphia slave-driver wince, and dump another load of his boodle into a mission or a club of Republican campaign toughs.

The south Assailed for the Celeifttttan In Blehmmd. The Tribune has hever hesitated on fitting occasions to denounce disloyal acts and tendencies in the South, and it will continue to do so, if need, be, in the future. But for that very reason it may fairly claim the right, to defend the South, when it is unjustly assailed, as in our opinion it has been in connection with the ceremony of unvailing the Lee monument in Richmond. That the. people of the South should delight to honor she memory of that great and popular leader need'not, and does not, reflect on their loyalty in the slightest degree. It is true that numerous Confederate Bags were flung to the breeze in the quondam Confederate capital, and there were a great many things said about the lost cause, tho good taste of which might Hh questions*!. But th«30va3 so hint of disloyalty to the Union." from the beginning to the end of the celebration, and we are sure there was no thought of disloyalty in the hearts of .hose who lock pnri in it.

generous with those who were once armed against the Nation, but who are now an integral part of that Nation. If the South loyally accepts the verdict of tho war, as it is doing, the North will not criticise it for honoring the memory of its fallen chieftains, of even for occasionally bringing out its old Sags, which to enlightened Southerners to-day are no longer the emblems of treason, but the souvenirs of a gigantic mistake.—N. Y. Tribune (Rep.). A WORD ABOUT QUAY. Tine Charges Which the Republican Leader Refuses to Answer. Evidence is accumulating that Matthew S. Quay has not the slightest notion of resigning the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee. That means that the Republican party will go into the next Campaign commanded by a raan who has stubbornly refused to answer the following widely published charges: “Eleven years ago Quay took R100,000 from the Pennsylvania State treasury, and lost it in stock gambling. He had an associate in the transaction, one J. Blake Walters, at that time cashier of the State treasury. Walters subsequently drank himself to death. Amos C. Noyos, the State Treasurer, died not long ago afterward, and his death was said to have beon due largely to his fear that the robbery might he discovered. Quay himself was for months the victim of guilty terror. A new State Treasurer had been elected, and exposure was imminent. A friend who visited him at the Lochiel House, in Harrisburg, found him drunk, and debating whether he should cut his throat or jump into the Susquehanna river. This friend visited Don Cameron, laid the case before him, and that statesman, to avert a scandal which would have done great damage to the Republican party in Pennsylvania, contributed over $100,000 to make up the deficit. The rest of the sum necessary was supplied byfQuay and Walters. Quay secured a vindication by being nominated and elected to the office of State Treasurer. But it was not merely vindication Quay wanted. Hs wanted another chance at the State finances.’ He got it, and availed . himself of it and much more successfully. than before. To pay fbr the bonds and shares of the North Chicago Rail-’ road Company he took $400,009 from the State treasury and deposited it in the People’s Bank of Philadelphia. WiUiam II. Kemble, who had been pardoned a fejw years before by Quay’s pardoning hoard, aftoH having been convicted of bribery, was president of the bank. The $400,000 remained in the People’s Bank. The Chicago securities were delivered to Quay, who sold them at a higher figure and pocketed the profits and restored the embezzled funds to the State treasury.’’--Albany (N. Y.) Argus._ ^ THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION. How It Will Be Affected by the Passage of the Mc Kinley BUI. Mr. McKinley and his hill are heartily damned in England and Washington, and should be in Chicago. Every body in this city owes the ingenious Mr. McKinley a large and ineradicable grudge for getting up and lobbying through the House of Representatives a measure calculated to hurt the world’s fair very seriously. McKinley has in all probability made such a muss of it with his idiotic and useless bill that England will decline an invi- ':[{ tation to exhibit at the world s fair on j; the ground that her products, being ,j virtually barred.out of America by McKinley and his biXj, she has no reason for exhibiting them to American eyes. Holland will probably decline also. The increased duty on Sumatra tobacco will be a thorn in the Netherland side which will be very difficult of extraction. Mr. - Blaine, who doesn’t like McKinley, and who was opposed to his bill for party reasons aff well as from principles, has received •* information from .a great many of our representatives at foreign courts, the consensus of which is that the McKin- ‘ ley hill will militate against the success of the fair more seriously than could have been imagined. The foreign governments and public have really an exaggerated idea of the bill—England, especially looks upon it as an. almost absolute severance of the commercial relations between the two countries. The McKinley bill is bad enough, but not so utterly and deplorably comprehensive as the English Foreign Secretary has made it appear to the British subject Since’ it has been passed by a ' lot of dunder-headed Congressmen who were afraid to vote outside their party lines let Mr. Blaine and the rest of tho politic Republicans who are in control of the' affairs of state try and square things as much as possible with our friends abroad. The fat’s in the fire, to be sure, but may he policy may rescue part of what self-glorification so ruthlessly sought to destroy.—Chicago Mail.

They want justice and not bounty.—Louisville Courier-Journal. ; -Appropriations aggregating $540,000,000 and making a deficiency of $97,000,000 are looming' up before the leaders of the majority in Congress. They thought the appropriation wolf a very tame, harmless and useful animal in the last campaign. Now they have him by the ears and find it equally , unsafe to hold him or let him go.- -St Louis Post- ( Dispatch. —The Republican press has lost both character and influence because of its recklessness of statement in assailing party opponents.
