ADDIIESS OF TI1E DEMOCRATIC
STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
No. 001 Arch Btreet is an important political
locality. There the grand sachems of the
Democracy assemble in council, and there
the Democratic Association, which listened
to many bitter denunciations of the war while
the cannon of the enemy was thundering at
the gates of the capital, has its headquarters.
At No. 901 Arch street the Democratic City
Executive Committee sits in solemn conclave,
nndor the leadership of that subservient slave
of slavery, John Hamilton; and there the
notable bargain was recently consummated
by which the roughs agreed, for a valuable
consideration, to make way for the respecta
Mes on the city ticket. No. 901 Arch street
also contains the rooms of the Democratic
Btate Committee, and this body has just
issued an address to the people of Pennsylva
nia, in which the Democratic State ticket is
warmly advocated.
The address is signed by William Mutchler,
Chairman, a gentleman from Northampton
county, unknown to fame except as one of
Andy Johnson's internal revenue officers in a
district containing a number of distilleries.
A large portion of the appeal to the voters is
made up of complaints of corruption and of
"a general lowering of the moral tone of pub
lic life below the level of former times."
The point is well taken, but is Mr. Mutchler,
n Johnsonized Assessor of Internal Revenue,
exactly the man to make it ? Does he mean
to intimate that the "moral tone of public
life" has fallen since he was a satellite and
supporter of the great favorite of the
tvhiKky ring ? Can the people have
faith in the sincerity 'of an
apostle of reform who was at once a favorite
and a champion of Andrew Johnson ? Public
confidence in Mr. Mutchler's candor will also
be shaken by the seoond paragraph of the ad
dress, for therein we are told that "by the
election of Mr. Pershing to the bench of the
Supreme Court" we will "secure a Judge of
ability and high character." Heretofore it
has been a rare thing for either party to nomi
nate a candidate for this office who had not
gained a very high position at the bar, and
frequently the nominees have been distin
guisuea no ominont judges as well as great
lawyers. But Mr. Pershing's claims to the
nomination were based on the doubtful honor
of service in the State Legislature; and he
has giwn none of the decisive proofs of high
ability which have hitherto been demanded.
The bulk of the address i3 made up of
praise of Packer. In him all the hopes and
aspirations of the Democracy are centred,
lie is to become the deliverer of nn oppressed
people; he is to introduce and uphold reform
in the State Government; his election is to
rebuke all that has "been amiss in legislative
and executive action at Harrisburg in recent
years;" "he is above all baseness," and inca
pable of injustice, or of "unworthy sub
serviency to political friends;" and his electioa
is to point "to reform and iniprovemant in
our affairs," and to "go a great way towards
securing them."
Mr. Mutchler thus invites the people to a
really attractive entertainment, and we have
no disposition to detract from any of the
praises of bis favorite which are just. But
before voters are carried away by these eulo
gies, it would be well for them to inquire
whether Asa Packer is, in veritable truth, a
man well fitted for the herculean task of
cleansing the Augean stable of Pennsylvania
politics. It will take something more than
wealth, respectability, or honesty to accom
plish this task. The true reformer of this
day and generation must be bold as a lion,
wise as a serpent, and industrious as a bee,
as well as innocent as a dove, to work the
mighty changes which Mr. Mutchler predicts
from Packer'fe triumph. The Democratic
Gubernatorial candidate has held office be
fore, and if he is gifted with the
miraculous powers ascribed to him, the public
should be furnished with some official evi
dence of their existenoe. But what is the
plain truth ? Scarcely a man ever, sat on the
floor of Congress, from the day the Govern
ment" was founded until the presont hour,
who has such an absolutely barren and use
less record as Asa Packer. Of his career as a
Congressman the best 'and about the only
thing that can be said is he held the office.
He did nothing particularly wrong, exoept
when his party required him to obey its man
dates; but he did next to nothing at all.
During a large portion of his term he was not
even present at the sessions. His head and
heart were in his business operations. As a
money-maker and a railroad-builder he has
magical powers. . If the people were
called upon to elect a candidate, not
to guard .and promote their interests,
hut to exhibit superior sagacity in advancing
his private fortunes, Asa Packer would be
pre-eminently the PennBylvanian best worthy
of support. But the ability to amass riches
does not carry with it the power, and it is not
often accompanied with the desire, to manage
governments well aa wisely. If Packer
is eleoted, we shall be- agreeably surprised if
he gives any considerable amount of attention
to his oflloial duties, or if he spares to the
State anything 'more than a few hasty mo
ments snatched from the supreme object of
his affections, the Lehigh Valley Railroad.
The address is somewhat chary of national
issues, but still Mr. Mutchler is determined to
show that the old Democratic fire is not en
tirely extinct, so we are treated to a covort
ME DAlLf KVENIKG T ELBOKAPH PAjtLADELpiHA, WEDNESDAY,
homi'y against the fifteenth amendment, and
an allegation that the Demooratio cause is
"the cause of peace and of good will among
men." Particulars and specifications' on the
point last named are adroitly avoided. If
voters desire auoh information, let them ask
the Chairman of the State Committee what
he thinks of Ku-Klux Klans in the South, and
the proposition to establish "club law" in
Philadelphia.
COAL-OIL EVANS.
We have hitherto called the attention of our
readers in goneral, and of Governor Geary in
particular, to the shameless manner in which
the law passed at a recent session of the Le
gislature providing for the inspection of
refined petroleum in this city is openly vio
lated and defied, not only by the dealers in
burning oils, but by Robert M. Evans, the
so-called Inspector. Inasmuch as the Governor
has not yet seen fit to take any action in the
matter, and we are still called upon to note
the occurrence of disasters involving peril to
human life and destruction of property by
reason of this defiance of the law, we deem it
necessary to recur to the subject.
jOur readers are already familiar with the
manner in which the law was pushed through
the Legislature. Although essentially a de
sirable enactment, the strict enforcement of
which would tend to throw much needed safe
guards around the lives and property of our
citizens, the manner of its passage was about
on a par with the general character of
our recent legislation. Evans went up to
Harrisburg with an axe of very respectable
dimensions, the which he desired to have
ground. The bill, as originally framed by
him, provided for an inspection not only of
the refined petroleum exposed to sale in this
city, but of all the- crude petroleum which
is extracted from the bowels of the earth
in the great oil regions of this State. If it
had been suffered to pass in this shape the
fees of the inspector would have ranged be
tween one hundred and fifty and two hundred
thousand dollars per annum ! As a matter of
course, the passage of such on iniquitous
measure for the personal benefit of a single
individual would have aroused such a storm
of indignation that it would most certainly
have been repealed at the next session of
the Legislature. But, in the meanwhile the
inspector would have had a full year's oppor
tunity at the spoils of the office, and after
rewarding handsomely all the swindlers who
lent their votes to its pnssage, would have
retired to private life with a fortune of at
lqast one hundred thousand dollars. This
grand plundering scheme, however, was
knocked in the head, and the law as it passed
provided simply for the appointment by the
Governor of an inspector of refined petro
leum for the city of Philadelphia.
The bill was unhesitatingly signed by Gov
ernor Geary, and by him Robert M. Evans,
the humanitarian who trained it uud oeoured
its passage, was promptly commissioned to
discharge the duties of inspector. The
numerous cases of explosion which have oc
curred since Evans entered upon the office
are sufficient evidence of the manner in whioh
these duties are discharged by him. Still
more damaging is the expose which we re
cently made of the character of the refined
petroleum with which the city is flooded. In
addition to the analyses of six specimens
which we recently published, we have caused
six other spocimens to be subjected to exami
nation, and in the following table is given
the result:

and Federal street 88 93
Now, in examining this table, it is only
necessary to bear in mind that the recognized
and legal standard of safety is a burning
point of 110 degrees, Fahrenheit. Of the
twelve samples given above, it will be seen
that two only the sixth and ninth comply
with the requisitions of the law, the remain
ing ten falling from eight to thirty-eight de
grees below the legal standard, while five
samples out of the twelve were so extremely
volatile that the flashing point could not be
determined, except by the most complicated
and elaborate chemical analysis. At the mere
application of a lighted match in the open
air, at an ordinary temperature, the vapor
arising from them was ignited! And,
although the second section of the act pro
vides for the punishment, by a fine of $ 500
and an imprisonment for one year, of any
violation of the act, in one case alone has In
spector Evans seen fit to proseoute any
dealer for an infringement of the provisions
of the statute, and that case failed because it
was found that the article sold by the alleged
violator of the law was not, technically, a
petroleum product !
Such is the manner in which the provisions
of the law are enforced by Evans. At the
outset he secured the aid of several assistant
inspectors, two of whom, however, were
directly interested in oil refineries; but in a
few weeks he diseharid all except one, and
that one, by a singular coincidence, happens
to be .his own brother. He has furthermore
permitted his official brands to remain at the
oil refineries, where they could be, and doubt
less were, used by others in his absenoe; aud,
although Governor Geary's attention has been
called to this gross carelosseess by one of his
fornier deputies, there has been no investiga
tion into the charge. Samples of oil which
he has branded as burning at 110 degrees
have been found, on examination by experts,
to vary greatly froni the official brand, some
of them burning at 80 degrees, while others
were found fully 20 degrees above'
the standard. In one instance
he branded a lot of oil
as burning at 110 degrees, and when the pro
prietor complained that this was too low by
twenty or thirty degrees, he told him to alter
it himself. The proprietor happened to have
a few grains of honesty in his composition,
and refused to do so, whereupon Evana sent
his deputy with instructions to brand the lot
to suit the owner, without any regard to the
results of the test. Instead of causing every
barrel to be tested, he is in the habit of test
ing a few only in a large lot, affixing to the
whole the same official brand. So carelessly
and recklessly, in short, does he discharge the
duties of his responsible position, that his official
brand is utterly ignored in the market, no
responsible dealer being willing either to buy
or sell without the brand of a well-known
private inspector.
We again call the attention of the Governor
to the manner in which this man Evans
openly and repeatedly violates and defies the
law, the passage of which he himself secured.
At the time Governor Geary approved the
Inspection law he was doubtless familiar with
the history of its passage, he did not hesitate
to appoint Evans to the inspectorship, and
Evans, it will be remembered, caused himself
to be elected a delegate to the convention by
which the Governor, from whom he had re
ceived such a profitable appointment, was
renominated. In this way the State Execu
tive becomes, in a large measure, responsible
for the shortcomings of the inspector, and
. V . ; i t. 1; i T 1
me omy way in wnicu no can relieve miuseii
of this responsibility is by acting promptly
and impartially upon the demand for the re
moval of Evans from the office which he dis
graces and perverts to his own personal profit,
at the risk of human life.
THE WORKING CLASSES IN THE
UNITED STATES.
A SEniES of articles with the above title, by a
Mr. Robert Coningsby, are in course of
publication in the London Spectator, for the
ostensible purpose of giving such inf ormat on
about the condition and prospects of the
working classes in the United States as will
give Englishmen, and English laborers in
particular, an adequate idea of the exaot sta
tus of our workingmen as compared with
those of Europe. Mr. Coningsby is no ex
ception to the traditional travelling Englfsh
man, who finds it impossible to comprehend
with any great degree of exactness a condi
tion of affairs different from what he has been
accustomed to. Mr. Coningsby has, apparently,
endeavored to collect reliable information
which will be useful to the laboring men of
England who may contemplate emigration to
the United States with a view of bettering
their condition, and his conclusions are often
sound and just. Mr. Coningsby is often out
in his facts and figures, having evidently ob
tained much of his information from hearsay
evidence, and not from actual observation
and investigation. His papers, however, con
tain many really valuable suggestions, and
the conclusions he has arrived at aa
to the actual condition of the
working classes in the United State's are much
nearer the truth than is usual with foreigners,
who generally find themselves unable to com
prehend our social, as well as our political
system. Mr. Coningsby, however, makes
some characteristic blunders, as, for instance,
when he says: "In Pennsylvania there are
still remote places where the pillory is a re
cognized 'institution,' and even the ' whipping-post
is regularly used twice a year." It
is a little rough to fasten Delaware's peculiar
"institution" on our shoulders, but when
was an Englishman ever found who could get
such matters right? Mr. Coningsby also
takes a more roseate view of our prison system
than the facts will altogether warrant. He
says:
"The whole American system In dealing with
fallen humanity seems based more upon Christian
charity than ours Is. In the I'nited States a crimi
nal is regarded as a patient whose moral nature is
Hick, a fever-stricken brother to be kept apart and
restrained, but also to be cured. There is even an
agitation for the administration of chloroform to
criminals about to be executed."
The agitation about administering chloro
form to criminals we opine is not very great,
and as for our treatment of criminals, we are
atraid that the penitentiary system of most
of the States are something different from
what the writer supposes. Even in Pennsyl
vania, where the penitentiary system is nearer
to Mr. Coningsby 's ideal than elsewhere, the
curing process is not as satisfactory as it
might be, but this may be in a measure due
to the fact that many of our criminals are set
at liberty before their terms of punishment
are complete and before their "moral natures'
are thoroughly cured.
The advice which Mr. Coningsby gives to
laborers, howeyer, is for the most part ex
cellent. He tells them that energetio, go
ahead men will succeed here just as they are
likely to succeed in England, ' only in the
United States they will have more chances
and will be able to get along faster, while
those who are content with being mere labor
ers will dig and delve in America just as they
do in England. The difference in the prices
of the necessities of life make the rates of
wages in the United States not appreciably
greater than they are in England, but in a
new and undeveloped country an industrious,
saving, and energetio man has more openings
offered by which he can make his way in the
'world. Mr. Coningsby advises English
laborers who may contemplate emigration to
shun Canada, and to push for the far West,
even to California, and endeavor to become
possessed of farms of their own as soon as
possible, but especially to keep away from
the great cities. In connection with the
chances of laborers obtaining work, he says:
"Town laborers of all sorts, handy men who work
In factories aud about wharves, the doers of all sorts
of odd jobs, provided they are afraid of rest, and are
not fastidious about the nature of their employment,
will also, I think, be sure to limnvork In the Vnlted
States. They should not stop In the large cities, but
push on Into the email aud riling ones. Railway
excavators, too, are always in demand, at rates
varying from six shillings to seven and sixpence a
day. In every large town placards are to be seen
posted up aunounclng the want of so many thou
sands of these men. I was told, however, by more
than one English navvy whom I found at work on
American railways, that they are more driven and
have to work bardor m the States thau
In England. 'They don't swear at yer bo much as
our gangers does at home, but they ve got a quiet
way o' continually shaving yer on like, till it almost
breaks yer 'art to keep up to the work,' said e of
these to me. Another Informed me that la bracking

Ihe picture of the navvy nearly breaking
his "art" in trying to keep up with the work
is vc ry touching, and it is an interesting com
mentary on the difference between the Euro
pean and American way of doing business.
Mr. Coningsby thinks that the women of
America areust a little spoiled by the extreme
deference paid them, and relates as an in
stance that "before I was used to American
ways, it seemed strange to me to be parasol
epiked out of my seat in a street car one day
by an elegant young lady, who only vouch
safed the explanation that she would 'Sit
right there!'" -
It is singular that none but travelling Eng
lishmen should be fated to meet with such
specimens of American manners as this, and
we are curious to know exactly where this
incident occurred.
Despite some inaccuracies, however, Mr.
Coningsby gives a much better description of
the working men of America than any Eng
lishman that has yet attempted the task. He
considers that they represent the nation, just
as EDgland is represented but by the "middle
class," and that in the United States there is
in reality no distinctive "working class," but
that everybody is expected to labor for a
living, those who do not being considered
outsiders, who rather lose caste than otherwise
by not being workers.
