Conviction of a Colored "Herb Doc tor.''--?ardoned Before Sentence. Conway. 5. C.? Iq the court of Gen eral r-essions jtist closcd was the unique case of the State vs. Gabriel Singleton, for practicing physic without license. The bearer of this digtinguiehed name presents a striking figure. The "Dr." is an aged nrgro, tali, straight pot-black aud with a crop of iong snowy wool on his head, lie we.r> a tf ached to hh waist a greasy lo-.-king bag. containing powdered bark, roots and other mys teries of hi* art, and dangling with it are t *o bottles containing a dark looking liquid. A spoon for administering the dose hangs hard by the bottles. "Dr,*' Singleton did not put iu an appearance when call d. and the trial proceeded in hi* absence. One of the witnesses testi fied-that * Dr " Gabriel had "worked on him," that about six years ago he had suffered from "a tick bite." and the "Dr attended him, with the under standing, no cure, no. pay; and that as he didn't cure him, he didn't pay him. The "Dr.'' was convicted and sentenced to piy a fine of $50. One J. \V. B. King was convicted at the March term* of court for retailing without license. Before sentence it was brought t ) tiie attention of the judge presiding that King was tb n serving out a sentence imposed by the United States Court fo- the same offense. His Honor *usp nd(d sentence, and ordered that he he sentenced at this term of court. King was therefore called up and sentenced to pay a tine of #100 or be confined in the penitentiary for six months. Immediately upon the"" pro nouncing of the sentence Mr. F. D. I? yant. King's' attorney, presented to the court a pardon for King. Thus the anomalous proceeding was witnessed of a man pardoned brfore he was sent.xr.ed. PENNSYLVANIA'S BALLOT LAW. j Validity of the Baker Law Attacked in the Courts in Pittsburgh Pittsburgh, Pa.? The validity of; the Biker Ballot law, a modification of the Australian system, will be tested in the Supreme Court. A bill was fihd in thht court by J. B. Jackson and others against the county of Allegheny and the Board of C -rami* ioners, asking that an injunc tion be issued restraining all persons from advertising, procuring, or distrib uting r.ny of the description indicated, and fr.un furnishing any ballots except those required by law. T&e pla'utiffs believe that the law does not require that all names shall be on one sheet of paper, and they have filed with their petition sample ballots, which they claim substantially conform with the law? one for Presidential electors, one for county officers, and one for the judiciary. The claim is made that the one t;cket system is not only illegal, but rery expensive. The Court made nc otder, but after consultation will an. aounce what-aetion will be taken. - NEW YORK PRESBYTERIANS. Deem it Unwise to take Up the Case of Dr. Brings. Albany, N. Y. ?

FOR CLEVELAND. WAYSE MACVEAGH, GARFIELD'S ATTOR NEY- GENERAL WILL VOTE FOR THE j DEMOCRATIC TICKET? -HE SAYS THE TRUE WELFARE Of TEE COCXTRY WOULD BE PROMOTED BY CLEVE LAND'S ELECTION'. Following closo upon the announce ment ihat Judge Gresham, four jean ago a prominent candidate for the Presiden tial 1 omnati<? in the Republican Na tional Coavention, had determined to vole for Cleveland; and Stevenson, an other bombshell hafebeen thrown into the Republican camp. The following letter from W|jne MacVeagh, Attorney-Gen eral uoflpr Garfield, announcing that he will vote for Grover Cleveland, has been given out for publication : > | Philadelphia, Oct. 4, 1S92. John W. Carter, Esq., Secretary of the , Mjas-sachusetts Reform Ciub : Your cordial invitation to aidless the citijjena of Boston on the issues qf the canvass happens to reach me just professional engagements prevent my naming a tiaae when I can do so, but yoti are quite riglit in concluding that I in- i tend to vote for Mr. Cleveland. Entertaining the convictions I do, j no other course is open to me, and I i I cheerfully accord to the supporters of ? President Harrison the same sense of j public duty by which I claim to ba act- j uated. As both parties have presented j unexceptionable candidates, there is no ! reason why the differences which exist i upon questions of public policy should 1 be discussed otherwise than in good . humor, and with entire respect fcr each other's opinions. ? In the present campaign what may fairly be called the false alarms of the canvass will prove of little value, because of the general confidence in the safe ana conservative character of both candi dates. The aveiage voter knows thai free trade is impossible in this country, for the conclusive reason that the vast revenues now required to meet the ex penses of the Government will necessar ily afford a far higher decree of protec tion to our established and prosperous manufacturers than either Alexander Hamilton or Henry Clay tftought desir able in the infancy of our weak and struggling industries. The average voter also knows that the irredeemable papeu currency in use before the war can never * reappear. On the other hand, he knows a3 well that no system of duties on im ports, however inequitable, can prevent our continued growth in wealth, inmin u'actures, and in population, a growth due to the incomparable gifts of 'Provi dence, the intelligence and energy of the people, and the blessings of free institu tions. While I am more than ever resolved to bold duty to country far above any ties of party, I find myself at present in general accord with the Democratic Party, and willing to trust it* course in the futuie. The insight, the courage a<ad the patriotism the masses of the parti- exhibited in compelling the nomi nation of Mr. Cleveland when be was without a single office holder to support his candidacy seem to me to demand that } should meet them in the same spirit and act with them as long as they ncaintain tiiat high standard of policy j and ol administration. It is the more , rfisy to do 10 'because the Republican I Parry, ^curing its return to power four j \ears ago by promising to preserve rutt- | ters a5 they were, at once embarked uinu ! what I reg.ird as a reckless and revo- j lutionary policy, even overturning all j the safeguards of legislition in the Hou-e j of Representatives in their haste to pasi the Foice bill and the McKinley bill, j bath, to my mind, unnecessary aad uu- | wise measures. The opposition to .the F)rce bill, as not oniy sure to create far greater evils thau it could cure, but as also vibve-s've of the rights of the States, has become so earnest and widespread that it is said to have been a'nedoned ; but it is roust not be forgotten that only two years ago such a me^y-jr- was warmly advocited by the Republican Party, na i very narrowly escaped becoming a !a?v. There is no pretense, however, thv, the McKmlcy bill is abandoned. O.i the contrary, our express approve' of it is demanded. No doubt that bit!, which I cannot but think was an unciiled for disturbance of the then existing tariff, greatly benefited a few interests, but cer. tainly it greatly oppressed many others. Of the protected industries themselves, many were theny as cow, in far more urgent need of free raw materials than cf higher protection, but with raw mater ials on the free list the bill could not have passed, for those having such mater ials for sale controlled enough ve:e3 to defeat it, and they were very likely to do so if their bounties were discontinued. The manufacturers needing frte rav materials wc-re therefore, obliged t-j join in the objectionable proces e; of increas ing prices by restricting production, thus adding to the nuriiber of trust* by which the price of the necessaries of life is placed at the mercy of unlawful com binations of capital. \It is not surprising that labor, beiier raagstseLf to be oppressed, soon rose in revolt, and civil war has acioalij raged this sdtamer in Imr different sections of the country. Afio, of course, the farm ers, pajing^ore for what they buy and getting for what they sell, 2 row poorer' day by day ; and excellent farms in eone of the mos: fertile sec*:^- >i this &o=t highly protected S;<-'e wii! hardjr bring the cost of the buiiiiin^v upon theon. Bi|t the economic evii?. however great, of tht McKinley bi'l and the unreasonable lysteo of protection it represent? are of : far less importance to my mini than the moral evils which follow in their wake. In deciding for what purpose: tne ma-sts of the piople may properlv be taxed, it : must not' be forgotten tnat ta^= Lav-- a 1 wooderfed capacity for filtering through ail intervening obstacles till they reach : the bowed back of toil and resting th**re? ? nd th*>r*fnrp thp orivina of hnnnti?? j : under any form of taxation Is mainly. the j giving awiy of the wages of labor. The | *ad truth that the curse of the poor is ; their poverty is illustrated it cotfeiuir j more clearly than in the undue share they eufier fcf the burdens o? taxation. But, apart from this consideration, oaght not taxes on'j be imposed t* re quired for public purposes, or ^nar the? -'-Iso \e imnnsed fit the oecaaiarr si vantage of such persons or classes as are -* able to control Congressional action in their favor? It seems to mo like a travesty on taxation to require, as the McEmley bill does, the farmer who crows corn in Indiana to nar a bountv to the farmer who produces cace augai in Louisiana, or -to require the farmer who grows wheat in Pennsylvania to pay a bounty to the farmer who produce* maple sugar in Vermont; but it is never tiagedy than travesty to tax the masse* of the people to increise the wealth of the very wealthy owners of most of our protected industries. But even such inequality and injustice are the least of its evils, for while suc'i a system endures political corruption is 1 absolately sure 1 to increase, as such a system not only invlte3, but it req lires, i ttie corrupt use of money both at the polls and in Congress. It is of its very essence that 4 'fat" shall be "fried" out of its beneficiaries. Who shall happeu to do #he "frying" or who shall happen to distribute the "fat" upon any partic ular occasion is mere matter of detail, but while that system lasts both will con tinue to be done by somebody. And the evils of a system of legislative bounties, so far from stopping, only be gins with tho6e bounties secured to the industries protected by the tariff. The disastrourcourse of the Republican Party on the silver question is an apt illustra tion of this truth. It ougbtv, to be an "honest-money party, and it would be if it could ; but while it demanded increased bounties for its favorite manufacturers, it could not refuse increased bounties to the silver producers, as the votes they control were probably necessary to the passage of the McKinley bill . So situated, the Republican Party had no alternative but to pass the silver law of 1890, dou bling the pui chase of silver and requiring^ the buiiditjgof more warehouses in which to store the useless metal. The total purchases made by the Gov ernment amount to hundreds of millions of dollars, and would not realize, if re sold, one-half their cost, while the poi son of debased currency, whose work, however slow, is sure, is making itself daily more and more felt in fcvery chan nel of business and financeland is in evitably driving gold out omhe country and leading us to all the evillof a fluc tuating and therefore dishonest currency based upon silver alone. The Republi can Party cannot take any effective step3 toward repealing the bill, for the silver men are very likely if their bounty is stopped to ?eo vote that the* bounties of the McKinley bill will stop aWo. The abuses of the pension system fur nish another apt illustration of the evils sure to follow such a system of legisla tion. If Congress was to levy tare* upon the.people to confer boutie* upon certain classes of manufacturers, it was very na tural that the pension agents should also join hands to increase their fees by an indiscriminate granting of pensions. Th<* result is that nearly a generation after the close of the war there is a steady in. creasc of the vast sum3 passing through the pension agents' hind?, until now the total amount staggers belief, and has be come of itself a very serious burden upon the Treasury. From the day of Lee's surrender until now no single voice has ever been raised against the most ^ea erous provision for every person who ha 1 any just claim upon the gratitude of the country; but surely there is neither rea son nor justice in legislation which de stroys all distinction between the dis charge of duty and the shirking of it, between lovul service and desertion of the colors, between wounds received in battle and diseases contracted in the pur suits of peact . There is still another great and in creasing evil chiefly traceable, in my j opinion, to the maintenance of a-j exces sive tariff since the war, and the con i-tant meddling with it to make it higher, *nd that in the bringing to our shore* of j those vast swarms of undesirable immi grants who degrade American labor by their competition and threaten the sta bility of institutions based upon an in telligent love of country. Just hs the duties upon iruj?orte 1 ineroSiandise have been increased, so ha* the gra-ie of im ported labor been lowered, until now, under the McKinley bill, there are com ing here every month many tho'ijsn 1< of more ignorant, and therefore less rfe sirable, laborers tuaa evr before, it is not easy to exaggerate the moral evils they arc likely to inflict up m our social order and our Nntiooal lire. As the Repub'.iciu P.irty is now defi nitely camm;t?e I to the policy of taxing the people^or the purpose of ^iviog bounties to ucu persons or interest* as cad secure the necessary votes in Con* gress, so the Democratic Party is no* a* definitely committed to the policy of restricting taxation to the needs of the Government for public purposes alone. The gulf fixed between these two poli cies of taxation is a? wide and deep as csn well exist between political parties, tod I am al*o convinced that the old causes ia which I %m interested cannot hope for success until the avowed policy of the Republican Party on this subject is overthrown. Until then the right of each State .to control elections within its borcUif^rfll cot be secure. yatalthea ther^ i* ao prospect of ajr:tajofiag the fingle and htable standard of Tilae which other civ. ilized and commercial Nations po-ses*. Until then tb^re ia no hope of planing either our pension 6ystem or the regu!a tion of immigration upon a jj*i aod proper basis. Until then the purifica tion of cur politic? *^i!l continue 4ithe iridescent dream ' which high Republi c-.r: %uthority has declared it must al ways remait. Cntil then any pretended reform of the c\fil service mi?t prove, as it has proved this ia;t four years, a delusion ard a snare. And until then even ballot reform, the best help yet discovered to boneit elec tions, and already threatened with over throw by the Republican manners in Main*1, Vermont, and^ Indiana, must share the same fate of betray.il ia the bouse of its pretended friends. A:i these causes are, in the very nature of tl in^s, the relentless foes or a system of govera ment by bounties to favored iotere?.i?, atd such a synem is their reieatless foe. A* I believe, for the reason- I have given, that the true welfare of the coie *ry would be promoted by Mr. Cleve land's elcciion, it is my duty to vote for birn, and &s I recall the capacity, the fidelity, and the courage with which he bas heretofore discharged tvery public tri'ft committed to bin, the duty be ; cca.u i pleasure.
