Cow or No Cow.
A 'long petition lias been presented
to the Borough Council praying that
the cows may he permitted to run at
large by the repeal of the ordinance
which provides for a pound keeper and
the taking in of stray cattle. It is cer
tainly not for the good of tiie town
to have this cow nuisance again let
loose upon our streets. The time is
still fresh in Iho memory of our citi
zens when it was no unusual thing
to see from a dozen to three or four
dozen head of stock on our streets. In
those halcyon days it was no uncom
mon thing for a man without a foot of
land to raise from fifteen to twenty
head of cattle and pasture them on the
streets or in his neighbors' gardens.
There is generally two sides to a ease.
And in this case no one mi tiers hard
ship by having the cattle kept ofl' the
streets, while a great deal of damage
was done by the prowling cattle under
the former system. The argument,
is made by those in favor of cows run
ning, that the poor men who own cows
depend on their eows for keeping
their families, and that to shut them
up involves great hardship and ex
pense. No account is taken of thedam
age done to the gardens, trees, and other
property of those cipially poor men
wlio own no cows by the depredation
of the running pest. During the
whole of the la- t year pound master
Wepscl only cinpoumlcd nine cows be
longing to t be it h'eli.i of the Borough,
or a total ci! -1 p those cow owning cit
izens whose cattle were taken in, of
SIS.O!). Now it would be much I eiter
fur the citizens of Hidgway to keep or
pay for keeping, ami pasturing of all
cows and other cattle belonging to men
who are so poor that it is a hardship
for them to keep their own cattle.
Tin citizens of the l.'oniugn could pay
for tic; keeping of till the cattle iu tlu
Horouyli, rather than pay the d im
age of their nti:ni!ig at large, and
save money iu the opera! ion. A 11 other
thing many people in the Borough

AN EMPHATIC DENUNCIATION OF BOSS
nUI.R AND AUTHUR'8 POLICY IN
PENNSYLVANIA APPOINTMENTS
WHY UK RKEUSKS TO CONTRIBUTE
TO CAMPAIGN FUNDS.
(Plillndelphla Press.)
Washington, June 1. The follow
ing is a copy of Major George W.
Merrick's letter to the Postmaster
General resigning the Wellsboro postmasters-hip;
WELLsnono, PA., May SO, 1982.
lion. Timothy O. Jfowe, Pontmaster
Orncrnl Washington, D. C:
I herewith have the honor for tlie
reasons following to tender my resig
nation as postmaster at Wellsboro,
Tioga County, Pennsylvania.
On the twenty-fourth day of May,
at Philadelphia, I received from the
Independent Republican Convention,
the nomination of Secretary of Inter-
mil affairs for the State of Pennsylva
nia. I then gave but a qualified assent
to that action for tlie reason that I
thought it my duty to first resign my
ollle.o under tlie General Government.
That duty performed, I shall uncoil -ditionnlly
accept the nomination and
thenceforth do what I honorably can
toward the triumph of the objects of
that Convention.
While I hold my commission from
President Hayes of civil service order
No. 1, celebrity I feel that my part iu
the Convention would probably meet
your approval in being in conformity
with the views contained in a recent
letter hy Hon. Frank Hatton, First
Assistant Postmaster-General to the
Postmaster of Cincinnati, Ohio.
The objects of that Convention meets
my earne-t approval, and I can con
ceive no good reason, so fur as they re
late to the State cf Pennsylvania, why
they should not meet the approval of
the Department. In its broader
aspect, however, I can readily see how
it might incur the disapproval of the
Department.
Iu the platform adopted, "We ilc-
noiitice the system which makes "pa
troniige" and "spoils" out of public
ollicc-; we denounce the boss rule
which, when tninely endured, makes
leaders into autocrats ami reduces! the
mass of citizenship into political bon
dage; wo demand, instead of Insolence,
proscription and tyranny of bossism,"
the five and consjicntious exercise of
private judgment In political affairs,
we declare our purpose t if take up the
work which fell when Garfield fell,
and we deplore the over vhelming
evidence presented to us iu Penn
sylvania that the calamity of his as
sas-sinntion lias leen followed by an
oveithrow of tlic:-e reforms in the
hand; of his successor.
Iu other words we hold that, the per
version of the Civil Service the busi
ness of self-government from the
l be priii'-iples on which business, pub
lic or private, ought to be managed,
into a sort of lofti-ry or vast gambling
establishment in which the ollleers of
tlie country are used as prizes to be
bestowed by a tule not even npproxim
a'.ing the fa i mesa of chance but by
pure favoritism' for past or expected
services, generally of an unworthy
characlcr, is a thing no longer to be
simply deplored lii'.t resisted.
The tveeiit flagrant Instances orthost
wronys in IVnusyl vaiiin! are easily
1 raccal !c to their murcea at Washing
ton, where "Cairn ronism" tinges the
whole field of appointive power. In
Pennsylvania the term stands for tlie
bead and front of the whole infamous
I spoils system, and Camerouism in
Washington is more odious than iu
Pennsylvania, because more danger
ous. These politic:! cilmes, for such Ihcy
ere, bavearouscil the hostility, mid will
arouse the determined opposition of
riht-minde, men everywhere.
hen one of tlie two seats of Pennsyl
vania iu the United States Semi I e rep
resents nothing hut a dull autocratic
pi rsoi-alism instead of the people of
the State, and the great State itself is
nothing but an imperial satraphy
handed down from lather to son, is it
not time for the people to as'.t why
they t ball not be represented by two
United States Senators?
11 is the Chicago conspiracy "drawn
a prize iu the lottery of assassination"
by which its accidental power is to be
solidiilcd? The rule understood to he
adopted by the Hon. Frank Hatton in
the Post Oiiice Department is to "weed
out .half-breeds." If this is the Dead
Sea fruit to Avhich we are invited as
the result of tiie lamented Garfield's
death, should it surprise lis if the slain
cry aloud from the earth?
The revolution against these evils is
but initial in 1'eunsylviiuia. Like
condition produce like results
tlirough many States. The people will
not "take up arms," there is a better
way, but if the evils of misgoverunient
thus go on there will be such a sowing
of dragon's te th that even the politi
cal sagacity of a Stalwart Administra
tion may be surprise'd at the crop that
will spring up.
Politics must have foundations, but
"polil leal society is fluid not solid, and
any particle may become the cental of
a new movement. What the true man
dreams to-day may to-morrow become
the resolutions of con veiitions." Men
profoundly move for just cause, with
juire motives and the courage of their
con vt ui ions may defy the calculations
of autocratic demagogues, though en
trenched in iower.
These are no ideal abstractions, nor
is this a mere sentimental movement
of visionary idealists, nor a movement
intended to put one set of bosse-s out
and another set in. It Is planted on
the deep ground of the essential pre;,
nerval ion of the Commonwealth, and
will forever destroy "bossism" and all
their works by a radical reform of the
civil service by legislation.
Holding tlie views indicated above,
and intending to advocate them from
the platform, it would at least be inde
licate, if not inconsistent and improper,
to retain my present relations to the
Administration; and beside the labor
imposed by my nomination will besucli
as to preclude my giving proper per
sonal supervision to the duties of the
office: therefore, I hereby respectfully
resign my commission as postmaster
at this place, and will esteem it al'uvor
if my fcuecessor can be at o need named.
I remain, very respectfully,
Geo. W. Mi.kkcik, Postmaster.

The Republican Independents gave
many signs of sure faith In their mis

side of right and the winning forces of
public: opinion. If not this year or
next year, they will sometime win the
battle which they have courageously
begun, provided they falter not in the
way.

From Tho Boston Journal (Rep.)
The Cameron despotism has seized
the party machinery so that reform in
the old organisation Is slow and un
certain. It is possible that some, ar
rangement may yet lie fruide, but It Is
scarcely probably. The conflict will
be viewed with Interest throughout the
country ; and the mass of progressive
Republicans who appreciate all that
Camoronisni means in Pennsylvania
will sympathize with the; Independ
ents in their battle for the rights of
Republican voters.
FRKF. FROM COM PROM IF p.
From Tlie Huston Triinscrlpt (Uep.l
Very little taint of compromise can
be detected in tiie tone and spirit of
this remarkable meeting. The candi
dates nominated by it are all vouched
for as men of high character and large
intelligence. Whatever influences of
a personal nature may have led to the
Inception of the movement, circum
stances have forced it into nn un
reserved Civil Service reform position.
