Dangers of Repudiation.
The question of rcpudlntlon Is notjustnt
present ngltnted in any State, but the very
fact that In some States open and shameless
repudiation has become an established fact
which cannot be recalled, has set men to
thinking and both the Northern and South
ern press are agitating the question quite
vigorously. A correspondent of the New
York Nation offers to head a subscription
list for a fund to keep up an ad vert lscmont of
"the black list of repudiation." lis object Is
to puplish and keep standing a list of all the
cities, counties and States that have repu
diated their obligations, In order that repu
diatlon may be made not merely disreputa
ble but financially unprofitable; In order
that It may be more difficult for such cities
and counties to negotiate loans thereafter;
and to warn Investors of their danger. This
may not be the best plan to adopt, but surely
some method should be adopted to make this
crime not only detested as immoral but uu
profitable. It has not proven enough for the
country to cry shame against a State whose
legislators have defrauded helpless creditors.
isname nas nut nttio eltect when a mon's
pocket is involved ; still less In the case of a
State, county or municipality, where no one
person is responsible for the nets committed,
If the tide of repudiation Is to be stopped it
must be made unprofitable. Those who have
the power to make and amend laws must bo
made to feel that the business world will not
brook such Injustice, that It will not pay,
however great the temporary gain, Minne
sota swindled a Cleveland capitalist out of
three millions, after he had otl'ered to accept
thirty-three and a third per cent. Georgia
"scnled"her wholerailroad debt, and was so
afraid that there might be some slip about it
did not trust their pet schemes to an act of
Assembly, but grafted it into their L'unstitu
tion, Virginia is on the ragged edge, and if
she is saved from disgrace it will only be
through the magic influences of the Bell
punch ir that fails, Virginia, too, is lost
The pica that they all otlir Is thai the bonds
which they have or wish to repudiate were
either illegal or else foisted upon a powerless
people by corruption and bribery, thus com
pelling a people to pay when there has been
no value received. This is an argument used
too, by a large number of National repudiu
tors who would pay the National debt in as
cheap a currency as creditors can bo made to
accept, or not at all, If the nation can gain in
the end by so doing. No one knows how
soon this same spirit may take possession of
any or alT our large cities and counties which
are heavily burdened. The evil seems fur otr
now, like the grasshopper plague or the yel
low fever, but it may attack the very cen
ters of our commerce at any moment. Pitts
burgh lias hud one score already, and another
would not bo entirely unexpected. Doubt
less the temptation is great, and in these
hard times a numerical majority of almost
any city would thluk any pian to decrease
tae taxes not only Justifiable but feasible.
Take New York, for instance, now loaded
with a debt of about $I20,0nn,0ut which Is an in
cubus upon every Industry in the city.
Such heavy taxation Is necessary to keep
down the interest on this debt as greatly to
impair the value of real estate, and by sym
pathy every other kind of property. The
wages of labor, the salaries of clerks, the
earnings of workshops and the profits of com
merce are all reduced in consequence of this
debt. Add to this the fact that the debt was
largely created by the most gigantic ring
swindles, and that the peoplo never got the
benefit of the moneys they are now called
upon to pay back, and It will be seen that
here is material for a repudiation movement
in New York city which at any moment
might become very embarrassing to the in
terests of the city,
In the South, tho bulwark of repudiation is
the Ignorant negro vote. In the North the
tramp and strike element are ready to take
the same position, and numerically they are
not less formidable- than the Freedmen.
Whut is to be dono. If it is distinctly under
stood before hand that in any given case re
pudiation will not pay, there will be no repu
diation, but for any community to learn this
fact by experience, much suffering, Incon
venience and disgrace, as well as wrong to
creditors will ensue. The matter lies largely
with the capitalists. In some tangible way
they should let It be known that repudiation
in any from will not be tolerated and the
sooner it is done the better.
"A Brick." There, the secret is
out. It is now certain that Captain
Hart, our candidate for Stato Treas
urer, belongs to thearistocracy of labor
Tho brick layers of Norristown where
he is at homo, held a meeting lately
und passed the following :
Kesolvkd, That In the Hepublican candi
date for State Treasurer, Captain Wm. it.
llart, we recognize a fellow laborer and
friend, who for years worked with us as a
bricklayer in this county, and we pledge him
our support and votes in the belief that his
symputnies are with the working-men of
this state, and thut he will use every honora
ble eftort to promote their welfare.
If such a man don't know how to
wall up the people's money where it
will be safe, where can you find one ?
William Shrack, a young Berks county
farmer, while gunning with five other
young men, accidently shot himself, the
load entering his thigh and passing upward
into the body. He died in about two min
ute without speaking. His body was
taken to hig young wife, aged about seven
teen years, to whom he had been married
o ily a year. The deceased was twenty
two years old.

About 8000 miners were present, ihey

Pittston, Pa.. September 26. Immedi
ately upon the reoeption of the news that
the Parish men at wtiKesoarre naa re

held an informal consu tation and resolved
