The Milllinhiirg 'lUrgraph Is out in I'.ivur

Packer Is tho superior of many of those men

arc boldly out against a third Presidential
term. Hut they evidently do not compre

flen. Grant can not bo the Republican can
didate torn third term lie will take the be t

The only possible chance for the Republican 1
In succeed is to run Grant, and they will
have little then.

Tho Cameronians tried to crowd Mr Uut
ler It. Strang, of Tioga county, oil' tlio track
a a Radical candid itc for State Treasurer,
in order to confer tho nomination upon a
more clearly recognized or trusted riugster
For some reason their confidence in Uutler
is limited, but ho won't be crowded oil' and
persists that he is a candidate. Whether it is
"addition, division or silence" that the Cam
eronians think lie does not understand, the
public is left to giies.
Tlio heavy hand the coal corporations
have laid upon that industry and the in
creased price they have put upon anthracite
coal has much to do with tho depression in
tho iron trade. Vet while the price of coal
is doubled the wages of miners aro to bo re
duced. It is sought to make the coal busi
ness pay two dividends, first on the stock
of mining corporations and lastly on tho
stock of railroad companies. One profit
should suffice. Harridiurg J'atriot.
The Adjutant General estimates the entire
cost of puy and subsistence of the troops in
the coal region at 1000 per day. The field
return of General Osborne, dated the 17th,
shows that there were then in his command
60.1 men and 49 olHcers. The average pay
of the men is about 60 .cents, and of the offi
cers 8.1 per day, the daily cost for subsistence
per man being about 70 cents. We do not
doubt, however, but that all this is blatlur,
and that the expenses will foot up two or
tlireetiuies as much.
The flunkeys will havo another high time
f it. Tlio Marqnis of Lome and his wife,
Princiss Louise, daughter of Queen Victo
ria, contemplate visiting Canada and the
United States. Like other aristocratic trav
elers from abroad they will have a grand
time turning up their royal noses at their
worshippers. True, Lome is not exactly
royal but his wifo is, the two are one, yet
having two separate noses they may not turn
them up in unison, and the queition will yet
havo to bo settled whether his enecrs will
have to bo regarded as royal ones, or wheth
er his'n are her'n or her'n his'n.

when tho amount on hand reaches eight or
ten millions, say about tlio fourth of July
next, the experiment will probably bo tried.
Columbus Delano, through telegrams,
tried hard for several days to make tho pub
lic believe his retirement from the Cabinet
had been long contemplated, was voluntari
ly, and demanded by his private business,
Iiut sinco Grant has resolved to let him re
main because tlio public wanted him to go,
Delano is telegraphing that there was no
foundation for tlio reports that ho was asked
or ever intended to retire I The old story:

We are indebted to Gov. Hartranft for
copy of tho general laws passed at tho late
session of tho Legblature, Altogether then
are fifty-nine of thee nets, covering fifty-six
pages. As few private acts can now be pass
ed, tho whole issue of pamphlet laws will
Hcarcely occupy ono hundred pages, when
fifteen hundred to two thousand pages were
the rule heretofore. This will bo a sort of
legal mlllenium for lawyers, courts nnd peo
pie. As acts required by the new Constitu
tion become perfected, tho volume of Iawi
will annually decrease below even the low
figure of fifty-six pages, until finally it mat
bo hoped there will be no necessity
for any except tho appropriation bills
As Is our custom we will re-publish such acts

Near eighty days havo thus fur been coil'
slimed In the Rcccher-Tilton trial, and per
haps as many more will bo before it is con
eluded. Reecher was very explicit In lii
testimony, and if there Is tmth in his state
meats he is not guilty of tho principal
charge inado against him. That ho has been
acting f he fool amazingly is palpably true,
taking hli own testimony for It. Tilton has
proven hiuiwH eminently worthy of every
term of loathing that may bo properly up
plied to auy human being, unrelieved of a
(ingle manly trait. So the dirty business
drag along. The verdict of the jury If one
bo obtained, will bo of no account, and the
verdict of tho public will be that every one
directly connected tilth tho rase as parties,
and nearly every witness, U fool, knave, ras
cal or worse. Upon tho whole it is the most
isgtutlng public trial that has t-vcroocMrresl

Williams is considered out.
(lav. Iltirtranft anil Loral Option Itepeal.
There has been much talk and some dii
iippoiutuient about Crov. Hartrnnft signing
tbo Local Option icpral.bill nnd his appar
ent hesitancy is coiistiued to indicate doubt
as to his course at one time. There is, how-
over, a plain explanation of all this. Refore
his election, as is well known to politicians,
a bargain was entered into between tho Rail-
leal leaders and the Liquor League, by the
terms of which Hartranft, was pledged not to
veto or oppose any legislation favorable to
the linuor Interest. It was well understood
between tho contracting uartit.3 that Local
Option was to bo destroyed nnd an encase-
incut for its speedy repeal was entered into.
On tho part of the Liquor League it was
agreed not to oppose, Hartranft's clcc-
tion and most of its leaders directly
or indirectly supported him. In the first
recurring Legislature the "roosters" gutcotn-
maud of tho legislation ou Uie subject and
would not let go without n large bounty,
which tho Liquor men would not pay, and
the repeal fell. At the succeeding election
the Liquor League made itself felt in the
defeat of a large number of Republican can-
didatcs, especially in Allegheny county,
This was an admonition to Hartranft nnd his
friends what they were to expect at the en-
suing election. And to end the troublesome
business the repeal of Local Option was
again promised by Hartranft and his friends,
The only issue about it was tho one made
apparent by tho difference between the two
Houses. The Democratic House wanted
unconditional repeal. As a ncutralizin
emollient to satisfy tho Temperance men,
Gov. Hartranft and his friends in and out of
the Senate insisted on tho addition of a
stringent license law, and this finally pre-
vailed. Upon the whole, therefore, Hart-
ranft and his friends have bad exactly their
own way. Tuoy repeated Local Option and
thev forced the adoption, of the btringent li-
cense law. Thero never wasUho least' idea
of vetoing the bill entertained' by the Gov -
emor. The delay iu signing it was only a
nlav at the srame of fast and loose, to make
Temperance men believe that some attention
was being paid to their desires and rcmon-
strances, when the fact is transparent that
tliey were neither looked at nor considered,
the issuo really having been finally disposed
of long before the passage of the bill and in
tho manner we have detailed.
The State Treasury.
The efforts to investigate tbo condition of
tlio State Treasury by a Committee of the
House of Representatives is resisted by the
State Treasurer. True, ho says to the com-
mittce, there are the books Investigate.
But to go through them and thereby ascer-
tain the real condition of the Treasury would
probably occupy a committee several years.
The only way to reach it properly is for the
Treasurer to show up his accounts and oth -
eriviso answer proper inquiries of the com -
mittee, and this Mr. Muckoy refuses to
do. The way for the people to do is to elect
an able, honest man of opposite politics to
tho '1 reasurership, when the truth will at
oneo bo discovered. To elect a Republican
in place of Mackoy would only be to continue
tlio pa-scut state of affairs and hide all
kuowlediic of the true condition of the
Treasury from tlio people. Honestly admin
istered there ought now to bo millions in the
Treasury, yet tbo Treasurer y there u only
ono ilollur ami Mventy-slx co:s xct a
Democrat be elected and the people will find
out all the facts.
If nnv bodv believtsl In the personal hon-
csty of Mr. Bob. Mackcy and hence that the
aired, such bodv inialit have believed that
the Rtnte Treasurer would be glad to show
Ills books and show thoeouiuilttoa thatcvery
thinir tviw rkht. but imiUIuIv nobodv clso
expected him to do any such thing. When
ho was first called upon by the committee
ha said substantially : "1 will not rcoogniie
you.'isa committee, having been appointed
by only nno House, but there aic the books,
as members of tbo legislature you may ex-
amino them as much tu you please." Out
this committee is not composed of Hankers
and nro therefore not familiar with the man
ner of keeping Btuk accounts. They there
fore employed Mayor Powell, of Williams-
port, a gjiitleuun and Hanker of the very
highest standing and of undoubted eompe-
tency, to make the examination Iu their
presenco. ah soon as .Macitey observed tills
he declared no "outsider ' should exatuiuo
the books, and requested Mr. Powell to do -
sist. 'llie committee men rtemanlel the
cash books, which were refused. Although
not technically so, here are lu fact two plain
pleas of guilty of all that has been charged.
Klso why not even prefer that tho eitamlner
sliould bo ol tlio highest competency? wtiy
not briiiif forward the cash books, which
simply and plainly exhibit U tbo roe)ptd
and expenditures f Mr. Muckey can havo no
posslblo reason for refusing them other than
that olther mode would show that there Is a
ileiiciency in tne ireasury, ami possibly a
very largo one.
Wheu Mr. Tumple assumes the office of
Auditor General on the first Monday in May,
it U hoped mcaivs may bo found to compel a
production of th Treasury books, lu fact
those in the ofheoof Auditor (leneral ought
to bo a literal trauscript of theru, but In tho

worthy one, hut it is dillicult to shut the

committed him to an academy under thi

'The Third Term Crnnue."
Kvery account from Washington since
tko Connecticut election shows that instead
ol the third-term conspirators being dcmoral
lzcd.drcven discouraged, by theoverwhclm
"g defeat ot tlio third-term candidate for
Governor in that State, they aro actually cn
couraged in their proposed crusade ngains
the traditions of tho country and thoseuti
ments of the people on that question. The
Washington Republican, the President'
kitchen organ, exultingly points to tho de
feat of Hawley, who would not commit him
self to the third-term dogma, and to the clcc
tion of Starkweather, who did, as evidence
that theparty will sanction no policy that
does not recognize Grant us necessary to sua
cess in 1870. Tho Graphic, which has
sumcd tho Presidential Organship in New
i ork since the Times can no longer bo de
ponded on, also takes the same ground, and
says that the traditions of the past hav
nothing to do witli the question. The ones
tion is, do the people want Grant? If the
do who shall say them nay I This means i
ho can rally enough oflicc-holdcrs in tho
north to curry sufficient strength in tho Na-
tional Convention to secure his nomination
with the aid of the carpet-bag delegations
uom the South, that will indicate that the
people do want him, and therefore ho will
be the candidate. Tliero is no mistaking
thee indications, Tiiey mean Grant and
the third-term and nothing else. Therefore
we are not at all surprised to see It announced
from Washington that the policy of the Ad
ministration will henceforth be one of rc
leutless proscription of all leading Republi
cans wno uo not lavor me policy ami amm
tion of the President. It is openly declared
by those who speak for him, that there shall

CorporntloiH nml l'nldlc lllglils.
In former days tho Democratic party re
lated tho creation of corporations for pur
poses that could bo reached 'by Individual
enterprise, nml In cases wherothev were con
sidered Indispensable It was Insisted by tho
same party that they should bo permitted to
own only so much land as was absolutely
miri-.-sun, 10 carry on titcir tunnies", Alter
this safe nnd salutary ground was partially
Weil, It was still lielil by the Democratic
administrations that in no case should :i cor
poration bo permitted to hold muru than
3,000 acres of laud. The terrlbln evil of a
departure from these wholesomo doctrines is
now apparent. Thousands of laborers nro
to-day thrown out of employment, thousands
of families aro threatened with want, and
tlio wliolo business of tho country is crip-
noil, thwarted ami oppressed, tlio public
pc.ico threatened, every body injured and
taxed by tho attempts of tho huge Coal min
ing corporations to dictate tho wages that
shall be paid to workmen. It Is no excuse
that there arc also wrongs ou the other side.
llieso wrongs are the legitimate results of
corporation dictation. All tho evils emanate
from that same source. If coal mining, like
farming nnd tlio inaioritv of mechanical
ursuits, were left to individual enter
prise, there would be no difficulty, no strikes,
no starvation, no complaints of tyranny lu
the mining regions, but everything would
iu that quarter be as smooth mid clear as
sunshine.
Tho existence of the corporations is the
great trouble, hither they must bo gotten
rid of or thousands ol white people must bo
practically enslaved. The lower the wages
become the more oppressive will tho corpo
rations be in their exactions Tho struggle
for riddance from this great evil will of
cjurso bo n desperate one. Tho power of
wealth unscrupulously ticil over Executives,
Legislatures, Courtsand People will have to
be contended against. Yet there is but one
remedy and that is in the utter destruction
of nil corporations for mining purposes, and
if It becomes necessary to destroy railroad
charters let them go too. It Is all poppy
cock to maintain that charters, "vested
rights," may not he repealed. That right is
reserved by tho Constitution from every
charter. ifi that struggle is snccexifutty
proteciilcd there tcill lie no permanent peace In
the coal region.
How the People are Taxed.
Our tantl duties nro purposely made ob

on the same article. A gentleman previous

We think tho Conservatives of thesoutharo

having a t-outherii candidate on our ticket.
It will be remembered that Mr. lllaine, in
his Connecticut speech, broadly declared that
the success of the Republicans in 1870 de
pended entirely upon their ability to open
up afresh tho issues of the war. Tills was at

natives, and no punishment for crime. An
offender against tho rovenuo laws can be
seized and sent two thousand miles for trial,

every Hlato lu the Union, and In no mo f
this moio easily demonstrable than in Penn
sylvania. Tills was fully acknowledged af-
t rtUYcmucr election, mm tlio earnest
thanks of tho Democratic press and Demo
cratic leaders tendered tho voters who.
throwing olf tlio trammels of partv, stepped
down and out from tho Republican ranks to
help us on to victory.

urn-, iti, uie same iimo it cannot n on to
icrlfice a siimlo principle, neither is there
any necessity for doing so. A union with
uie independents does not iu any sense iiu
ply a departure from the established nrlnel
pies of tho pari v. And no morn mm-isn ntnti
can be pursued than that adopted by somonf
our over-zcaious coiemporaries, who appear
in mum iiiiimu ovcrwueiniing straight-nut
Democratic victory iu 1870, is a foregouo
conclusion. Earnestly hoping for such a
consummation, but knowing tho possibility
of a failure, wo prefer to be on the strong
side, if wo can get into that position without
violence in ucmocrntio usages and trail!
tlons. I'hiltt, Ltrvnictc.
That Is all very well, but the way to get
the independent vote is to nominate Demo
crats who are known to be true to Jeflbrso
iiian doctrines, honest and above trickery,
competent and determinedly opposed to all
extravagance, especially to appropriations to
unnecessary objects and to tho fearfully ex
travagant salaries that havo been instituted
and are constantly demanded. Government
must bo brought hack to the appropriation
of public money for only actually necessary
purposes and to the utmost economy in ad
ministration. Democratic candidates who
are known to bo faithful to theso doctrines
will secure tho independent vote, but no oth
ers can Above all, half-fledged, uncertain
and suspicious Republicans can not, nor can
such rally the Democracy.
.
There is evidently a determination on the
part of Prln co Bismarck to make the Rhine
exclusively German. Before the war of 1870
Napoleon had conceived the Idea of having
iron gunboats upon tho Rhino to protect the
forts on that river. bat lie thought ot,
Bismarck has done, it being announced that
an experiment will immediately be made
with two gunboats, which are already built
and prepared. Before the present month
lias ended these two gunboats will make a
trial excursion, also try their guns near Col
ogne. Not until these trials have been mado
will the final decision be arrived at. It can
not bo doubted that Bismarck is the most
"wide-awake" of all tho rulliig powers of
Europe. Witli him, practical proof, by act
ual experiment, leads to immediate organi
zation. Tlie lumbermen of Jefferson, Clarion, Kit,
Forest and Warren counties who float tlioir
lumber to the Pittsburgh market on the Al
legheny river nnd its tributaries, nro com
pelled to move on down the Ohio with their
rafts. Tlio Pittsburgh lumberyards are over
crowded witli old stock, and there aro no
buyers. It is certain that tlio markets of the
west are also very poor, and the lumbermen
aro likely to lose heavily on their winter
business. This is more to be rcgreted because
the depression in the iron, coal and oil trade
iiuu already prostrated business throughout
the northwestern part of the State. Harris
bury Patriot.
The square timber men east of the Alle-
ghenies did not fair any better. A change
in tho ownership of rafts usually takes place
at Lock Haven. This year there were no
buyers of any account, and the very best
rmo rans sold at 12 to 14 cents per foot,
which in previous years commanded ready
sale at nearly double the amount. Hemlock
sold as low ns 4 cents per foot. Yet tho
largo majoiily of raft owners could not sell at
any price.
Advice to Candidates.
As candidates for county ofllees arc now
piospecting and examining surface indica
tions, the Greensburg Argui volunteers the
following advice :
Keep sober at all times. Invent no sto
ries against opponents, but rather speak
well of thorn. Don't promise to help nnv
one but yourself. If you are slandered don't
spend time or wonls'in denying it. If the
truth is told about you treat it iu the same
manner. Don't make promises you never
intend to fulfill. Don't tell the people if
elected you will work for half price, for you
can't afford it. Don't shako hands too much,
for thereby the common voters will smell u
rat. He cheerful on all occasions, for tin n
the people will think you don't care, nnd if
you aro elected they will conclude you will
lie a clever fellow to do business with. Avoid
all jealousy and put no trust in fle.-li, for it is
weak, and" promises are as easily broken as
made. Never loan money or indorse notes
with the expectation of seeming votes or in
fluence thereby. There is a class of ilrnnos
and dead beats ttlui make a practice of bor
rowing oil' every candidate lu the field.
