Some time ago we told our readers that the independent republican element was by no means pleased with the nom ination of Boss Quay for state treasur er. As the campaign waxes warmer the voice of that opposing element makes itself heard here and there. Hon. Charles Wolf, the renowned independ ent leader of Union county, has pro claimed his inleution of 44 not voting for Quay." The republican represent ative from Erie county, non. Silver thorn, is opposed to Quay. The inde pendent republican newspaper of Dela ware county, Chairman Cooper's home, pitches into Quay in a decisive aud merciless manner. Last but not least, Geo. E. Mapes, an ex-representative in the assembly from Vanango Comity and at present a resident of Philadel phia in a recent interview with a Times reporter, furnished a brief sketch of the Kemble bribery scandal, which was up for trial in JBBO, and at which Kemble and three other members plead guilt/ of bribing voters in the assembly to cast their ballots in favor of the bill appropriating $4 000,000 to pay the loss es caused by the Pittsburg riots in 1877. Mr. Mapes winds up by the fol lowing'remarks alluding directly to the Republican candidate for State Treas urer : "Matthew S. Quay, the present Re publican candidate for State Treasurer, was a member of the Pardon Board. His recommendation of the pardons in these cases ought to cost him Republi can votes. The venerable Judge Pear sun, himself an ardent Republican, in his charge to the Grand Jury that found the indictments against Kemble and his associates, and again in his charge to the jury that convicted Pet roff, characterized bribery as a crime that struck at the very foundations of society and government. Mr. Quay by his official action as a member of the Pardon Board, declared that he com mitted no crime at all, or of so trivial a nature as not to deserve serious pun ishment. There is no evidence that he has changed his views, or that he would not do the same thing over again if he had the opportunity. The Re publicans who take the Pearson view of the crime of bribery cannot consistently vote for the man who took the Quay Y'EW of it. I have too high an opiniou of the Republicans of Pennsylvania not to think that there are thousands of them who will take the Pearson rather than the Quay view of the matter. THE fair of the State Agricultural Society, which began .at Philadelphia yesterday, according to press reports is a grand exhibition of the most valuable cattle in the country, a large collection of imported horses, about 700 dogs, and a fine display of fruit and flowers. EVERY day the daily papers contain large lists of newly appointed postmast ers all over the United States. And there is waling and teeth gnashing a mong the "retired partisans." Business Reviving. The following encouraging para graphs from an editorial in Saturday's Philadelphia Times should inspire all business men with hope and jgives clear reasons why we may look for better times in the near future : The general revival of business is visible on every side. It is no specu lative boom whose ebb is ever as sud den as its flow. It is not in any de gree the effect of combination to force the temporary advance of values. It is not the birth of Third street or of Wall street. It is the natural, logical returning tide of business prosperity that has its fountain in the productive wealth, the enforced frugality and the general solvency of the country. Nev er in the history of the last quarter of a century were all business and indus trial circles as conservative as they are to-day, and the revival of business now certainly at hand, must be sub stantial and enduring because it has the broadest and safest basis on which to rest In ail the many seasons of honest prosperity of the past, this country has never been as universally prosper ous as it is to-day. The balance of trade is well maintained in our favor ; the crops of the North and West fur nish an immense surplus for the markets of the world ; the staples of the South score up in the hundreds of millions in excess of the average yield ; the mines and mills are quick ened by the steadily increased de- mand for their products ; industry is , slowly but surely commanding better ! wages and is increasing its eonsump-* tion; the general and crushing indebt- j edness that prevailed among the peo- j pie of all conditions of life ten years a go, has been reduced to the minimum; money is called for to enter into the productive enterprises of life and com mands solvent and prudent borrowers, i and there is not a channel of industry, commerec or trade that is not to-day J sensibly affected by the general aud healthy improvement of the times. There will be no return to what is often thoughtlessly called the prosper ous times which prevailed from 1861 to 1873. They were the inflamed fevers of a diseased system, and could ; be followed only bv fearful prostra tion. The standard of money was! degraded by the necessities ot war ; j inflation ran riot in all channels of j business ; speculation reached a Hood tide and swept all classes into its fatal whirlpool ; profligacy debauched so ciety, politics, religion and business, and integrity and economy were sluimed by speculation and shoddy. The inevitable return to honest busi- ; ness landmarks was tedious aud cost- j lv, but it has come at last. Tens of thousands aro left behind as the wrecks of inflation aud business de moralization ; but the survivors have the lessons of experience, and nearly ten years of business depression have schooled all in the safe methods which are the only sources of prosperity. Money will never again command more than half the income it com manded twenty years ago; fortunes can no longer be made in a year or a doz en years in legitimate business, anil only legitimate business can now promise success ; stocks can no longer be watered or bonds multiplied in speculative concave, to tax the pro ducing industry of the land, and the old channels of our fathers,brightened and quickened by our-intelligent and honest progress, are to become the fountains of fortune and of the great er wealth ot content. Legitimate business with its thousands of chan nels of enterprise, will makd each the channel of thrift, aud employer and employed, producer and consumer, will enjoy alike the blesings ot a re vived prosperity that promises to bo as substantial and enduring as it is welcome. The President's 3rother-in-Law in Office. From the Fhlliv. TIMES. WASHINGTON, bept. 18.— The Presi dent to day appointed N. B. Bacon to be Superintendent of Public Buildings at Toledo, O. Bacon was a candidate sometime ago for Superyising Archi tect of the Treasury, but it was said at the time that the President refused the appointment because Bacon was bis brother-in-law. Since that time a can didate for a post office in the West laid great stress upon the fact that his name was Cleveland and he claimed to be a cousin of the President. The lattei, in refusing to make the appointment, said that he didn't know whether the appli cant was a cousin or not, but for fear he might bo a relative the appointment could not be made. It is Slid that Ba con's appointment was made at the sol icitation of Mr. Meaning, Bacon being a very competent architect and an ex cellent man. A Theological Treasury Clerk. WASHINGTON, D.

STEELE, Dak , Sept. 18.—A terrible prairie fire raged north and west of here all day yesterday. Reports from Sterling, eighteen miles west, are that farmers in that region lost everything.

An Organ Factory in Flames. BOSTON, Sept. 18.—Shortly before 7 o'clock to-night a fire broke out in the manufactory of the Smith American Organ Company, corner Montgomery and Claredon streets. The building is a five-story brick structure, 150 feet on Montgomery street, with an L running back some 75 feet on Claredon street. The fire originated on the third floor. The fire spread to the fourth and fifth stories very rapidly. Numerous streams were brought to bear on the lire and the flames on the third floor were soon sub dued. In the meantime, however, the fire had reached the varnish room, on the fifth room, and soon the entire up per floor was a mass of flames, burning with the greatest fierceness m the L. The fire at this writing (8.45 p. m.) "is still burning fiercely. There is no dan ger of the fire communicating to the surrounding buildings and the peculiar situation of the burning buildincr is most favorable to the firemen. The loss will probably be heavy. APPLICATIONS FOR SPAUE. Advices from New Orlerns state that applications for spaces in the various buildings of the American Exposition, to open on November 10th, are daily pouring in from States, cities and large business farms in all parts of the Un ited States; while the countries of Mex ico, Central and South America, as well as important places 111 Europe, are sending in a large (junta, in fact, where at the outset, the fliljng of the oceans vacant space caused the promoters of the enterprise no inconsiderable a mount of anxiety, the situation has in tire past few montl sheen entirely rcverr ed and the manageim nt deem it their duty to inform those intending exhibi tors who have not yet applied for space to do so at once, ore it ho too late. While this is,of course,a very giatifvirg state of affairs, that the management is able to announce, still it shows the necessity of city and individual exhib itors who have thus far failed to make applications for apace doing so tonne" dlately. Thore is no longer any ques tion of the success of the American Exposition; it has beon constructed upon sound business principles ; it is operated by business men, to solve tho commercial problem of tho day—the se curing of an outlet for our surplus manufactured products. Tho non manufacturing countries of Spanish 1 and Portuguese America are looked to for the relief needed. At the coming Exposition they will contrast their res ources witli ours, and afford tho oppor tunity of reaching an eaily under standing for tftc establishment of busi ness relations of mutual advantage. This question of new trade relations for merchants of the Unitd States necessitates prompt action on the part of our manufacturers and business men, in order that they shall bo repre sented in the magnificent Exposition toi take place in New Orleans, this winter.
