Necessity of Work tnd Orgm zition.
Tubbb la nothing which a politioal party being
In power has so ranch to fear as an over-estimate
of its own strength. Long oontinuanoe
In a heavy majority conveys the idea of the
permanence of the partisan power whioh is
often both deoeptive and destructive. The en
tire politioal history of our oountry proves
that it is principally to this overweening confi
dence that all the great parties owe their ulti
mate overthrow. The Federalists, the Demo
crats, and the Whigs have all undergone the
Same deoadenoe, and all can trace their fall to
the same cause. It is well that the Republi
can party now in the zenith of its power
Should recognize the fact, and guard against
following in the footsteps of its predecessors.
In the Senate we now have more than three
fourths of all the members. In the House we
have four-fifths. In all human probability
we can confidently count on carrying every
State in the Union except Maryland, Delaware,
and Kentucky. With suoh vast power as this
we are too likely to say to ourselves "Victory
is assured; it requires no exertion," and argu
ing thus let much whioh should be done pais
by unheeded, warnings which should be lis
tened to be slighted, and are awoke in aston
ishment to find that the victory, so certain
and seoure, has been a very Bannookbarn, and
instead of triumph we have received disaster.
For such a result we have no one to thank but
ourselves. Supine negligence will be the
cause, and it is only by letting the victory
Blip through our fingers that we can possibly
avoid winning it. We must literally throw
ourselves into the hands of defeat in order to
secure it.
With the assurance of an easy triumph, le
us see what it is the duty of every earnest
Republican to do. There are two ways in
Which the work of a political oampaign can be
conduoted. The one is the loud and some
times effective system of vast publio meetings
bonfires, fireworks, amd processions. These
undoubtedly do good. They convey an idea
Of strength to the popular mind, which is
eminently calculated to seoure the host of
waverers, whose ambition Is to be on the suc
cessful side. They stir up enthusiasm, and if
indulged in a few weeks before the election,
attract the attention of those who might
otherwise slight the importance of the issue,
and cause them to oome to the polls. This
they do, and if a party has more money than it
well knows what to do with, a judicious ex
penditure of some twenty or thirty thousand
dollars in this way-would not fail to do it
good.
But it is not by bonfires, or fireworks, or
processions, or publio meetings, that the rea
Secret of success for a party is procured. It
is not by general appeals to five thousand
men in a mass that oonviction is generally
brought. It is by the direct, earnest, and
personal appeal of well organized and properly
disciplined committees. The sub-divisions of
the State in various counties, thence into
wards, then precincts, and so on down to
blocks, is well calculated to promote the most
efficient and thorough organization. The ma
chinery of the Republican party is all that
could be desired. We have a State Centra
Committee, a City Executive Committee, a
Ward Executive Committee, a Precinct Execu
tive Committee. So that to the most linked
sub-division there is a party whose duty it is
to look after the discipline of the Republican
citizens. If these committees all do their duty
we have a series of wheels within wheels
whioh, running in perfect harmony, will
seoure for ns an overwhelming triumph.
Will not these various committees do
their whole duty f The appeal ef the Demo
cratic Chairman of the State Committee con
tains some good advice. It truthfully
says that victory can only be won by work,
and urges each to personally attend to doing
bis share towards securing the triumph. We
repeat to our friends like advioe. Let eaoh
precinct Exeoutive Committee add to its mem
bers suoh a number of good Republicans a
Will enable it to have one at least to every
block in the oity. Let them work hard, deter
mined, and persistently, and see that every
Republican is registered, and that every regis
tered Republican votes. By this means we
can gain the entire strength of our party, we
can develop all our forces, and bring every
one into play. It will require but little effort
from each man. Let it be done. Not only will
our own men be thus secured, but, also, the
fraudulent votes of the Democracy will be pre
vented, and a complete and glorious victory
be ours. Again we urge on all to organise
and ork.
Amusements for the People.
Tub intense heat of the past few weeks has
efleotually repressed all attempts on the part
Of the people to amuse themselves after the
Ordinary fashion. The theatres have been
closed, and even the diminutive ragamuffin
Whose highest conception of earthly joy is the
crunching of peanuts and the soreaming of
t'Hi hi I" as he leans forward over the iron
Tail of the topmost tier, has looked upon the
barred doors of the temple of mimio art
without a murmur. People have sought a
refuge from the heat at the seaside, on the
mountains, in the oountry anywhere and
everywhere that promised the slightest relief.
Within a few days past, however, the belief
that the beat has culminated, and that more
tolerable weather is destined to compensate ns
for the overrunning measure of our summer
griefp, has gained a foothold, and the olty
will gradually resume somewhat of
its former busy aepeot. And with this ohange
will come a similar ohaage in the diversions of
a great number of the people. Extensive pre
parations for the ooming season have filled up
the recess at the theatres. The companies
have been reorganised, the scenery has been
touohed np, the properties have been refur
bished, and things have been gotten into better
shape and trim generally. On Monday even
ing one of the theatres will again open its
doors, its management being fully persuaded
that the state or the weather will warrant the
experiment. Spectaole and ballet will be the
first attractions, but these will in due time
give way to other branches of the drama. The
other establishments will follow this example
in a few weeks, and soon the nightly round of
amusement will be under full headway. Iu
addition to the customary assortment 0
dramas, legitimate, sensational, and speotaou
lar, we are promised more than ordinary
attractions in the way of music The English
Opera will probably be the first to visit us
and then will oome the Italian and the French
the latter including that curious medley o
song and play termed the Opera Bouffe. Amoog
the great lyrio artists whose presence is pro
mised us are several who are already well
known to and popular with the people o '
Philadelphia, as well as some who have not
yet appeared in our midst. It is barely possi
ble that among the last named class will be
numbered Mad'lle Nillson, the second great
gift of Sweden to the mnsisal world. We be
lieve it has been finally settled that Schneider,
the "Grand Duchess," who has set all Paris
and London agog, will not favor us with a
visit. We can get along without her, how
ever; for singing is not her strong point, while
in certain tricks of the stage, whioh do not
tend to the elevation of the art as much as
they do to the demoralization of its devotees,
is found the true seoret of the great sensation
which she has created.
In this connection, we should not omit to
Bay a word to the management of the Chesnut
Street Theatre, whoever it is destined to be
The interior of the building should be entirely
remodelled. Cold, dreary, desolate, unoom
fortable we could apply all the depreclative
adjectives to the building without doing it
essential injustice. Until it is refitted in regu
lax amphitheatre style, we doubt whether the
establishment, under any management, will
prove as attractive to the publio and as remit
nerative to those more directly interested in
its success, as are the Walnut and the Arch
Street Theatres. There is yet time to aooom
pllsh the tasK, ana we nope it m ta un,W
taken.
The miners' strike in the coal regions is an
event of no ordinary importance, on aooount of
its effect in reducing the production of one of
the great staples of the State, with a corres
ponding reduction in the receipts for freight of
railway and canal companies, and the possl
bility that, if the strike is continued for a long
period, the price of coal in the cities may again
become very high. There is, at present, appa
rently little danger of any extraordinary in
crease in the price of coal, on aocount of the
fact that production has, for the last few
years, far exceeded the demand, but if en
banced prices prevail anywhere their pressure
will no doubt be felt in Philadelphia, beoause
in one of our main souroes of supply, the
Schuylkill district, the reign of the strikers
has been absolute, and in the other, the Lehigh
district, work has been suspended in many
collieries. In Luzerne county the strikers ex
ercised only a partial and temporary in
fluence, which did not seriously affeot
production as the Lackawanna basin has con
tinuously sent large quantities of coal to mar
ket during the last month In the Lehigh
district, at last advices, a number of collieries
had resumed operations, but no assurance has
yet been given of the restoration of the nor
nual condition of coal mining industry in
Schuylkill county.
Tbb British Parliament has been pro
rogued, and in the speech made by the Queen
she thanks the Commons, among other things,
for the passage of the bill for the purchase of
the telegraph wires throughout the kingdom
In the United States a much greater neoessity
exists for the adoption of a similar policy, and
it is to be regretted that the bill introduced
into Congress to establish an experimental
line between Washington and New York was
defeated. In an age when private business
firms establish long telegraphic lines in this
country, and when nearly all European nations
thoroughly combine their telegraphio and
postal systems, it is mortifying that a well-
devised attempt to ascertain the practicability
of a similar system in this country should
have been defeated. We trust Mr. Washburne
will renew his efforts until they are finally
crowned with suooess.
Tub cry of the Demooratio party in 18G4
was that "the war is a failure," or "let us
have peace," even at the sacrifice of the Into
rests and the honor of the nation. The Repub
licans at that period united in demanding a
vigorous proseoution of the contest against
the Rebellion. In 18G8 the motto of the Re
publicans is "let ns have peaoe," while the
Democrats are supporting doctrines which, if
carried out, would inevitably cause another
war. The Demooraoy have gained the nnen
viable distinction of being peaoe men in time
of war, and war men in time of peaoe.

Treasury Department of Cuba for the collection
of all the taxes of the inland daring the present
