Grain is going up in prlco in Europe, tho
weather belli;; unfavorable to llio crop-). If
tho advanced prices prcvo permanent there
must alio bo an increase in this country.
Nincty-livo bank bills of tlio denomination
of $.00 each havo been stolen from tho l-'cil-craltreasiiry.
There is thus far no apparent
cluo to tho thief.
Several llritish iron establishments have
failed with an indebtedness of several mil
lions sterling, and trilling assets. Tho iron
business there is fearfully depressed, as well
as in this country.
From the whole tenor of Grant's third term
letter, says tho Patriot, it may do concluded
that Grant will not decline a third term
more than ho did n first. Woe to tho olliee
holder or ofllco expectant who shall inter
pret this riddlo of tho Sphynx as meaning
that ho will not accept a nomination.
It is stated that of tho Alleghany delega
tion to tho Democratic Stato Convention, fif
teen aro or James 1'. Il.irr, and threo for
.Tames II. Hopkins fur Governor, as between
those candidates. A private letter informs
us that a majority of tho delegation, if not
all, are for the nomination of some other can
didate than cither.
Gold has a steady upward tendency of late
and is now quoted at 17 per cent, premium,
or a fraction more. Tho honest way of sta
ting it would bo to say that greenbacks are
that much below par, with National Hank
notes two or threo per cent, lower. Tho lat
ter aro not worth over 80 cents on tho dol
lar and can scarcely be exchanged for gold
at that. A paper crash at any time need
not surpriso people.
A Radical exchange gets oft" this piece of
sparkling wit:
"In order to find out how many Democrats
are candidates for Governor of Pennsylvania,
they are taking a census of thoso who declino
to run. This is easier than to count thoso
who are willing and anxious.
Perhaps so ; but it would bo an endless
task to count tho Radicals who will bo glad
they didn't run for Governor after next fall's
election. Watchman,
Despatches from Washington say that
Grant has given Cameron the cold shoulder
since the Lancaster convention and the lat
ter is on tho war path. If true, Grant's op
position to the election of Hartranft and
Rawle may be counted upon. It is also said
that Hartranft is to bo put in training for
the Presidency, with a view to obtainiug a
compact delegation from this Stato to the
Radical National convention to bo peddled
out to tho highest bidder.
Two lawyers havo been addressing the
Rcecher-Tilton jury for two weeks. All
ngrco to get through with their talking this
week, when tho jury will retiro to agree up
on a verdict, after sitting about four months.
Tho betting fraternity aro still waging upon
no verdict when they can get takers. They
probably havo somo ono or more on tho jury
they can depend on not agreeing to any tiling,
Makes to bo divided.
Tho heavy failures in the iron trado an
nounced in England go to show that it is
not alone in this country that the production
of iron has been in xcess of tho demand
for it. These failures also demonstrate that
it is folly to expect rapid recuperation in a
business so far advanced beyond the necessi
ties of consume". Cheap iron in foreign
markets is equivalent to cheap iron iu our
own, so long as we nro obliged to import
any, be tho quantity largo or small.
For somo curious reason tho Republican
politicians all assume that tho newspaper
fuss and froth about a third term has defeat
ed them. Liko tho boy who scolds at tho
stouo against which ho stubbs his toe, they
never look to thoir own bad government as
tho real causo of trouble. Yet who ever
thought of voting against tho Republicans
on account of a third term, but what largo
numbers on account of rascally practices !
Tho Republicans of Ohio resolved against
a third term in their Stato Convention and
then nominated a caudidato for Governor for
a third term. In thh State they wcro not
epuita so boldly hypocritical but rosolved
against a third term iu ono resolution and
practically nominated Gen. Grant fora third
term in tho next! Gail. Grant supplements
tltfso proceedings by announcing himself a
candidate, iu u similar strain of ambiguity.
Tho minora striko continues though somo
have cono to work. Thcro has been somo
rioting and arrests and somo moving of
troops, but in general terms tho situation re
mains unchanged.. John Sincy, Xlngo Park,
and many followers havo been arrested and
will bo tried in Clearfield county for conspi
racy and riotous proceedings. They made a
gravo mUtako when they undertook outlaw
ry among tho sturdy men of Clearfiold, and
they will bo moro lucky than wo anticipate
If they cscapo without Imprisonment. .Such
things maybodouowith impunity In Schuyl
kill, Litzarne, Ac, but not In Clearfield, or
anywhere about iu that region.
In New llampshiro n yankeo bobbery has
bien kicked up about tno organisation ot tiio
Legislature, alter llio numion oi uio curpct
bag States. Two Senates wero organized
with, wo believe, seven members or claim
ants In ono and six In tho other. Tho Su
premo court, In an opinion delivered, sus
tains tho Democrats, and declares that tho
Radical Senate is no body ut all. Tho Dem
ocratic Governor has been holding over be
cause no successor has beon elected, but tho
Republicans say ho has no right to do so
and that thq Stato in thorororo without a
Governor I Tho Democrats contend that as
tho day fixed by tho Constitution fur the
election of a Governor by tho Legislature
when there Is no cholco by tho peoplo has
poBscd, that body can not now elect, and licm-i-that
the Democratic President of tho Keualo
must bo sworn in as Governor, but tho Re
publicans dissent from this view, Whero Is
fihcrldan? Where is Grant ?
' (Haul Railroad War.
The war between the groat railroad linos
leading from tho Atlantic so.i coast to the
hikes and tho west, Is about reaching Its cul
mination, with probablv a complete victoiy
for tho Haltlnioro and Ohio road over its ri
vals, tho Pennsylvania and tho New York
Centra!, Tho weapons used are reduced
ri-lghts -reduced to ruinous rates, The
New Yin k Central, the mini fraudulent of nil
tin' concern-', was specilily ilriwit to the wall
and is now in a stato of bankruptcy and in
tho hands of ii receiver. The Pennsylvania
was coinpelled,desplto tho greatest efforts by
borrowing and otherwise, to reduce Us an
nual dividends from leu to eight per cent,
with every probability of going much lowor,
audits stoclfhas fallen from ten to fifteen
percent, notwithstanding the extraordinary
eliorts of tho Philadelphia!! to bull it up.
llio latest skirmish was about tlio carrying
of tho immense government mills between
Washington mid New York, without mate
rial present result, but a substantial victory
for the lialtiiuoro and Ohio,
We feel no special partiality in the strug
gle, Ino crippling of tlio whole gang will
bo of public advantage. When tho Penn
sylvania comes to that break which is sure
to occur, falling to pieces by her own great
weight and net-work complications, and thus
razeed down to its original proportions of a
through line between Philadelphia and tho
western limits of tho State, it will bocomo of
f ir greater advantage to our people than it
ever has been and will bo l.u- less potent iu
political mischief than is now so common to
it. Tho H.iltimoro and Ohio does not med
dle in polities ami hence is not under tho ne
cessity of subsidizing newspapers and politi
cians or submitting to their dictation, and
its legitimate business is its strength. There
in is its great advantage over tho Pennsylva
nia road, and therein also is the cause of its
present victories.
Mr. J. Edgar Thomson, the Into President
of tho Pennsylvania railroad, was a thorough
tactician and great manager iu that line of
business. Ho had active and most efiicient
lieutenants who carried out his orders with
out hesitation, thought or question, and his
success was eminent, although his principal
activo subordinates managed to carry wit
much of tho honor and glory duo to him
alone. When at his death the leading ono
of these was promoted to his place, the Hood
gatesof tho puff mills wcro opened and a
delugo of expectations were raised that wero
quite certain never to be realized. Ho has
capacity but never can bo the equal of tho
master who taught him. Ho cannot bo en
larged to tho dimensions of the present
wants of his road, but his roail can and will
bo brought down to his dimensions. When
that is clono its hugo proportions will havo
been shorn down to moderate size, and it
will then go out of power in politics and tho
business of trafiicing in Legislatures and
politicians, simply from want of ability to
continue in it. That will bo a good day for
tho people and a first class reform. May it
come quickly.
Mr. Itawle, Cameron's Nominee for Stato
Treasurer.
Mr. Henry Rawle, the ring nominee for
State Treasurer, is at present Mayor of tho
delightful city of Erie, where he has resided
for somo years. Ho was born in Milllin
county, whero Ins father then resided, being
proprietor or part owner of a large iron fur
nace. The family, however, is ono of tho
oldest of Philadelphia families, and in form
er days some of its members figured somewhat
conspicuously iu tho history of the State.
The father having lost his fortuno in busi
ness, tho son retired to liumblo occupations,
and somo years ago wo knew him as an at
tache to a corps of engineers on tho Suiibu-
ry and Erio railroad. Afterwards ho mar
ried a daughter of Gen. Reed, of Eric, a
millionaire, and inherited her property upon
her death. His marriago enabled him to
resume tho business of his father and tho
aristocratic pretentions of his family. Ho
is said to bo an amiable and plastic man,
well suited to tho wants of tiic ring that
nominated him. Ho was not conspicuous
iu politics or otherwise, was little known in
any way, and had not half a dozen delegates.
Iio owes his nomination to Gen. Cameron,
tho State Ring, and tho banks which expect
to profit by his election. If successful, he
will, of course, continue to cover tho frauds
iu tho Treasury by which tho people now
suffer so much, and will bo tho tool of tho
speculators who havo so long preyed upon
the hard-paid taxes of the people.
The National Educator ought to know that
an editor is not responsible for the statements
of an article he copied, duly credited, for tho
purpose of commenting upon some ot its po
sitions, nor dues ho th-;roby endorse any
thing it says. Tho Educator would havo been
much more just, piid would have given his
readers a much clearer view of that which
ho denounces, had ho given tho whole of our
short statement.
s to the salaries of Jounty Superinten
dents, iu probably a majority of cases they
all'urd less compensation than is due to a com
petent and faithful oflicer; nevertheless, a
alary oi'i2,000 In Mckean, where thesehools
ire mostly open only iu summer, mid on an
averago not half tho year, is a steal, a dis
honest grab, and a vicious example.
It was unnecessary for the editor to grow
eloqvent on tho woman's lights question.
Wu pay moro deference to tho sex than ho,
and relegato them to a higher and nobler
plane. Rut wo protest that they aro unfitted
by sex for somo duties, just as an angel
would be out of placo iu tho lawful occupa
tion of hostler at a low tavern. Wo know
of lawful business In licrks county, and es
pecially honorablo about battalion times,
that perhaps even our scusitivo and sturdy
friend of tho Educator would not consider
appropriate for women. If this be so in any
case, let us have no more bosh about giving
to women tho blessings becauso thoy must
bear a sharo of the curso to which tho hu
man family is condemned.
Nominee for State Treasurer.
Mayor Martin Powell, of Willlamsport, is
suggested ns tho Democratic ncmlneo for
Stato Treasurer. Ho is a most honorablo
man, of the highest business and personal
qualifications, a truo Democrat ami a very
popular citizen. His qualifications both ns
a caudidato and an oflicer nro unexceptiona
bio and superior, and we know of no ono who
would bo desorvlng of moro cordial support.
He is an ablo, proficient and honot Lusinets
man, and if oleetcd Stato Treasurer tho peo
plo would soon know tho exact condition of
that institution. .More than t Hat, during
his term thcro would bo no peculation or
fraud connected with tho Treasury, and tho
Legislature would at any tlmo get any In
formation it desired In regard to Us manage
ment and condition. If tho convention at
Erie does not iiominato him wo hope it will
glvo tho Democracy as proper a candidate.
Jt will certainly nnine none better.

Tenth Tho equalization of tho bounties of

Eleventh Honest men in office, men with

Liko tho chairman of our convention
who tried to steal a half a million from tho

dent who led gangs'of Legislative "roosters,"
and its leader W. 11. Maun, whose naino
reeks with corruption.
It, llesolccd. That wo declare a firm and
unqualified adherence to tho unwritten law
of tho Republic, which wisely, and under
the sanction of the mo-t venerable of exam
ples, limits tho Presidential service of any
citizen to two terms, and we, the Republi
cans of Pennsylvania, in recognition of this
law, are unalterably opposed to tho election
to llio Presidency of any person for a third
term.
Rut wo refu-eel to fledge ourselves not to
support a caudidato for a third term, know

forcing himself upon us.
'2nd, llesolccd, That tho Republican party
of this Commonwealth recall with pride their
effective agency in tho creation of tho ad
ministration ot President Ulysses S. Grant,
and point with confidence to its general pol
icy and the benetieient fruits thereof for their
vindication and his; that having received
the Government from his predecessor, de
moralized iu every branch, corruption and
recklessness iu ollico tho rule, tho fruits of
tho war ungathcred, the lately rebellious
States sullen, tho late slaves unprotected,
and yet denied that great means of self-protection,
tho ballot, foreign States unchastiscil
for their wrongs to us, and hoinoStatcs defi
antly inefficient to tho expiation which their
rebellious action required, the administration
of President Grant has in six short years
steadily and unpretendingly reformed every
known abuse, and is to-day relentlessly upon
tho track ot wrong doers, has largely re
duced the nat oil's debt, has largely reduced
the people's taxes, has inflexibly punished
all violators of law, has .secured by constitu
tional provision tho ballot to all freemen,
and by law thrown sorely needed safeguards
around tho ballot-box, has wrung from un
friendly iorein States confession of their
faults and reparation for injuries dono us,
and has influenced reluctant homo States to
at least tho appearanco of just dealings with
all their citizens all which events made tho
present Administration as among tho most
brilliant iu achievement iu our annals,
Though untrue in nearly every particu
lar, that alono wipes out all we have said
against tho third term.
!ii, Ilesolced, That in presenting tho nanio
of Governor John F. luirtranil for re-clec-tiun
to tho exalted position which ho now
fills, wo meet tho unanimous wish of our
constituents who desire in this manner to in
dicate their approval of tho careful, consci
entious ami ablo manner iu which ho has
met and discharged every duty incumbent
upon him, making thereby a record which
will securo his reputation as ono of tho best
upon tho roll of our chief magistrates.
Hravo in the field, modest in tho cabinet,
tried often and always found faithful, self
poised, just and honest, wo present him for
tho sulliagcs of the people, confident that
their judgment will approve and ratify our
nomination.
Though tho head of salary grabbers in
Pennsylvania, being now iu tho enjoyment
of So.UOO per annum moro than tho people
agreed to pay him, steadily refusing informa
tion to the Legislature about the uiioxplainul
iucrcasoof tho Stato debt to tho amount of
nearly thrio millions of dollars, and now
nominated by this Ring convention, we
"conscientiously" say all that, iu order that
we may havo an excuso for voting for liiin.
Uh, Jlesoleed, That in view of the evils
common to the government of most of the
largo municipalities, of tho municipal taxa
tion in this and other States of tho Union,
it behooves our Legislature to dovlso ado
(piato means to protect tho peoplo as well
from existing inrladminLtration as to pre
vent its recurrence, and to this end wo sug
gest, as a preliminary step, a thorough In
vestigation by an ablo and experienced com
mission, to ha formed under proper authori
ty, of the wholo subject.
All of which wrong action wo havo per
petrated by every means within the power of
our Legislatures.!
toll, Jlesoleed, That wo arraign tho Demo
cratic party of Pennsylvania fur its utter
ii'iluro to redeem tho promise upon which it
partially attained to power in this State. It
pledged itself to reform, to legislative puri
ty, to greater economy, mid to a higher aim
iu legislation j whilo it has reformed noth
ing, has economized in nothing, and has dis
honored tho Stato by an unseemly and arbi
trary oxcrcUoof legislative powers.
That is, wo arraign tho Democracy fur
passing only fifty-nix pages of laws, whero
wo passed sixteen hundred, and for driving
off the wholo squad of roosters wo steadily
maintained in the lobby, and for rendering
It impossible to "skin" tho peoplo by Login
lativo enactment.
fift, Hetoleed, That the ofi'orts now being
inado by the National Administration to fer
ret out and bring to punishment thoso who
havo been defrauding the Government of Its
lawful revenue), should enlist tho sympathy
ami lu arty support of men all parties.

It is most singular that Massachusetts is
allowed to cam oil' threo of theso high hon
ors, while Pennsylvania is Ignored. Tho
former is ono of tho fourth or fifth rate
States, whllo tho latter is the first and great
est. Somo small engagements took place iu
Massachusetts lu tho beginning of tho Revo
lution, and with them ended tho activity
of llio State iu tho prolonged struggle that
followed, except as to a very few of her
prominent citizens. Pennsylvania nt all
times replenished tho Colonial armies and
fed and gavo them a resting place and shel
ter in tho darkest hour and when they had
not elsowhero to lay their heads or warrant
existence, and continued faithful and tin
dismayed to the end. Massachusetts was
against this country iu the "second war of
independence," whilo Pennsylvania was
again tho main pillar of strength. In tho
Mexican war theso States occupied tho samo
attitude. In the Into internal war, so large
ly incited by Massachusetts, that Stato lard
ly filled her quotas (when filled at all) with
negro troops who were of little other service
than to consuinoatniy rations, while Penn
sylvania furnished over a quarter of a mil
lion of as sturdy, hravo and hard fighting
soldiers as ever drew a sword or shouldered
a mliskct. Yet when an event occurs that
is to tho crown tho honor, greedy Massaehu
setts demands and receives the lion's share
of high positions! The State that deserves
to lie at tho bottom is placed at tho top and
the harlot that should be spumed is raised
to beinistrcssof thegrandost household I Tho
commission which permitted Impudence and
insolence thus to impose upon it may bo
complimented for its good ualiiro but cer
tainly not for great regard for propriety. If
its members do not know thai there aro nu
inerous other Slates in the Union besides
fanatical Massachusetts it is time that they
compose their libraries of something else
than yaukee school books and read higher
historical information than Mother Goose's
Melodies.

Sheridan would have none beneath him in
rank, and Sherman, his only superior, could
nut be expected to act as Usher fur him.
Tho subordinates, however, wcro not exclud
ed by the same punctillious respect for feath
ery dignity from making costly wedding
presents, which thoy were rather too plainly
invited to do! Sheridan's conception of mil
itary dignity was once illustrated by the
wife of Gen. Scott. Having been addressed
by a friend as Mrs. Scott, slio haughtily re
sented tho careless afi'i out by tho informa
tion that she had not married Mr. Scott, but
Major General Scott the rank and not tho
man. All well enough, perhaps, for fuss
and feathers, but rather finely drawn for
common sense.
The Depavtiuchts at ilari'isliui'g.
Tho now Democratic officials at Harris-
burg havo filled their depaitsinents with
competent appointees and aro fairly under
way. Wo suggest to impatient contempora
ries, however, that every thing can not be
dono at once and that a vast amount of per
sonal labor will be required by the new
heads before they can know tho exact con
dition of their departments. In tho Auditor
General's office, four or five months arrears
of work was inherited, Iu fact, littlo if any
thing was done by its occupants after the
election of 1871 up to Gon. Temple's inaug
uration. All that work must be brought up,
in addition to the current business, before
the new officer can know exactly how mat
ters stand. Until then it would bo unsafe
to form conclusions, or to act upon any that
may bo formed. Tho Democracy want no
splurging, but solid and reliable facts. To
arrive at that end, time must be allowed for
careful work and thorough examination
Tho new Auditor General will di.-chargo
his duty properly and manfully.
No man so constantly and ofiicioiisly ob
trudes his "views" upon tho public as Vicn
President Wilson, who so conspicuously
proved himself a liar during tlio Presidential
contest of 1S7-, with regard to his Know
Nothingisin. Now tho Philadelphia Times,
which so prominently parades its "indepen
dence," says of Wilson that "he steadily pro
tested against all the evils which havo dis
honored" tho Republican pnrty. Will the
Tiinm givo a specimen of Its "independence"
by giving tho public tho benefit of Wilson's
protest against tho Credit Mobilicr rascality,
which may certainly ho counted ono of tlio
"evils" of the Republican party? Wo don't
want a reproduction of his maudlin effort to
shift ids own responsibility fur sliuing in
tho plunder to tho shoulders of his dead
wife, but his own "protest" against the "e
vil" itself. Wo havo no objection to Mr.
Wilsiin m-ignifyiug tlio importance of "hide5
pendent" journals ho appreciates tho pow
er of pu'f-ry and enjoys tho valuo of it
hut we do object to Impudent and corrupt
politicians liko him being palmed off upon

A Hut in the Cheese ISox
Hero is a short pen picture of Hob. Mat-key,
present Stato Treasurer of Pennsylvania.
A Philadelphia paper chronicles tho itner
osting fact that ho "drives a span of S1,S00
horses." When ho was elected Treasurer iu
18G8,ho didn't as much as a hob-tailed mulo.
Out of asalary of $.'1,000, ho not only lived
nt tho top nf the heap, entertaining his friends
most handsomely, but has paid off soveral
thousand dollar of old debts, subscribed sov
eral thousand dollars annually to tho Radi
cal Campaign fund, lost SHJO'OOO through
Ycrkosiu Philadelphia, boughtSlO.OOO stock
in tho Vithblrij Vummerciul, paid fora brown
stone residence on one nf tho most fashion
able streets lu Philadelphia, and now sports
mi $1,800 span of horses. Isn't It about
tlmo for Republican Stato Treasurers to step
down and uiit, and for tho rulo of a party to
ceaso whoso disciples do nothing but feather
their own nests? Exchange,
Tho Republican Stato Convention merely re
ferred to the "unwritten law" of the land on
tho third term uuostion, but thu President
responds by saying, In edict, that as there Is
no written law on tho subject tho pooplo
would bo guilty of no impropriety in declar
ing for a third term. Hut tho peoplo have
moro rcsnect than tho Prcsldeht for both
kinds of law mentioned, The President has
now completed u record of disrespect for both,
Ho will bo compelled tu writo u few moro
arguments before tho peoplo comotohls wuy
of thinking. Ejcchunyc.

How tlio Hon. Edward McPhcrson must
havo chuckled in his sleeve when he wrote
tlio resolution for the Republican State Con
vention which says: "7'ie public domain,
being the heritage of the people, should be re
served for actual settera exctuncetg." The
honorable Edward has been clerk of tho
llouso of Representatives for eight or ten
years and knew wlierof ho was speaking.
During that time tiie Republican party has
been in tho ascendant iu both Houses of
Congress, and has had a ch'ef executive of
its own at tlio other end of tho avenue, and
during that liino it lias deliberately taken
from "actual settlers," and bestowed upon
wild-cat railroad corporations an amount of
public domain equal in extent to the entire
.State of Venmyteania. Every intelligent
citizen must remember the enormous grants
of land made to tho Central Pacific, the
Union Pacific, the Kansas Pacific, tho North
ern Pacific, tho Denver and Santa Fee Rail
road, tho Lake Superior and Mississippi,
tho Texas Pacific, tho St. Paul and Pacific,
and a dozen other roads, most of which havo
already proved to bo bankrupt, and havo in
volved the. people, independent of tho gov
ernment, in a loss of hundreds of millions of
dollars. It is encouraging to sco that a
change lias come over tho minds of tho Rad
ical leaders. Probably their plethoric pock
et books aro not ablo to hold any more sub
sidies; but the nation would have been bet
ter oil' to-day, by u billion or so, if this streak
of honesty had como to them ten or twelvo
years ago. It is a littlo lato now to talk
about "reserving tho public domain for actual
settlers." Pottseille .Standard.

The nomination of Mr. Rawlo for Treas
urer was Hartranft's severest blow. It was
probably not so intended, but it will grow
iu its dead weight until it must drag the
ticket into such a slough of despond that no
average measure of Democratic folly can res
cue it. When Simon Cameron sits down to
chooso a candidate for Stato Treasurer tlio
people of Pennsylvania know well what
it means; and when ho decides upon an ami
able, blameless but unskilled and pliable
man, no man will bo deceived as to tlio pur
pose of tho creating power of btich a nominee.
Without political antecedents, or experience,
or past services to commend him to a Con
vention for a mo-t important State office, and
unable to command half a score of tho dele
gates on its merits or by his own efforts, it
was natural that tho earnest men of the party,
who fought its battles when its victories wero
for priuciplo and not for plunder, should
earnestly protc.-t ; and tho fact that their
protest was as unheeded as the pa-sing winds
taught them tho abject humiliation that
Republicanism lias reaped as the fruits of its
modern leadership. 77ic Time).
Tlio deatli of Gcorgo O. Evans has caused
a renewal of discu-sion iu regard to tlio rob
bery of the public money in which ho was
concerned. Tho pertinacity with which ho
withheld the names of his confederates was
must remarkable. Hut there never was great
er laxity iu tho pursuit of knowledge than
that exhibited by tho Stato officers in the
Evans ca-e. Mr. Evans' reticence was not
tho insuperablo bar to the recovery of the
stolen money on tho part of tho Common
wealth. It was tho guilty knowledge nud
connivance and tho guilty division of the
spoils among persons in tlio influential ad
ministration that inado it possihlo fur I'vans to
jjar tho dour to disclosure, but only so long
as others kept closed tho door ot inquiry. It
is not at all likely that Mr. Evans has car
ried any secret connection with ids defalca
tion into tho gravo with him. Hut It is likely,
iu tho good time coining when tho peoplo are
enabled once more to settle their accounts
with tlio agent of the Republican party, that
tho dead man's memory may bo in somo
slight measure vindicated and tho odium ho
boro for tho sake of others laid on their own
proper shoulders. llarr'uburg J'atrict.
Tho demand fur American wheat abroad
will, of course, depend lu a. great measure

Tho report, relative to tho operations of
tlienlilsky ring and th-) vigorous effort of
the givriiiiient to bring the operators to
condign punishment, Is being supplemented
by accounts of tho seizures of Illicit distil
leries throughout the West and South,
No definite return has yet been received
from officers lu southern cities, who wcro or
dered to seize lot" of crooked whisky, but the
orders havo doubtless been carried out.
Iu Cincinnati, Collector Weitzcll, bv order
of the treasury dep.utnicnt, seized the largo
whisky hotiso of Pike, Doylo fc Harrctt, No,
81!), Public Lauding, and placed the same in
chargoof United States Marshal Thrall. An
inventory of the prupcity will bo made.
Somn Interest Is excited, as it is uncertain
what others may nlobe involved. Tho rec
tifying establishment of H. A. Felnman &
Co., Kansas City, has been taken possession
ol by the United States authorities, and tho
distillery of Slienans & Sons, St. Joseph, has
been seized.
Eight hundred mid eighteen barrels of
whisky, in St. Louis, belonging to Ulricc,
Taiulan ec Hro,, havo also been seized.
A special telegram to Solicitor Wilon
from Milwaukco says that in ono of the dis
tilleries seized in that city there wcro found
subterranean fcinks with a capacity of twenty-live
thousand gallons. This is strong
confirmatory evidence of illicit productions
and the wisdom of llio seizure. In threo of
the St. Louis distilleries seized, similar con
firinatury evidence was found in secret en
trances to tlio cistern room, and in the fourth
the keeper was bribed and tho books burned.
The examination of tho vouchers and re
turns of tlio whisky distilled and rectified at
Cincinnati and shipped from that place is
now being made and thoseizure will bo made
in a day or two.
In Chicago, tho government officials aro
endeavoring to induce certain distillers and
rectifiers, whoso places have been seized, to
opyi their safes and ilisclo-e their papers,
but have met with but littlo success thus far.
Parker R. Mason, one of tho distillers, ob
tained nn injunction restraining llio revenue
officials from further attempts on his safe
and there tho matter rests at present.
When the Secretary of tho Treasury was
asked how much tho government would
probably save by the movement against the
whisky ring lie replied ho could not tell. "It

No! n Single Cheer.
Among tho peculiarities of the lato Re
publican Stato Convention perhaps thochief
esl was that tho nomination for Governor
was made without drawing from a single
delegate or individual iu tlio largo audience
even the faintest indication of a cheer. Not
that wo believe the convention would not
havo cheered if it had thought of it; for
certainly tho members would havo paid this
much respect to the requirements of tlio
occasion, however littlo enthusiasm thoy
felt in regard to the nomination. Hut tlio
rcmarkablo tiling is that they did not thiol;
of applauding when the nomination was
declared. They clapped their hands to n
inoderato extent when their chairman in his
address upon taking his scat, alluded to
Hartranft as about to receive, their endorse
ment. They wcro ready for this occasion
perhaps becauso tho place for "applaiiso" had
beforehand been marked in White's speech
which was printed before it was delivered
Again, when Mr. Mann presented tho namo
of Hartranft, the convention mildlv applaud

tins case also it was suggested to them bv
"gag" noted in tho address, which was also
iu typo before it was spoken. Hut when
Mr. Haines moved "to cut tins matter short'
that Hartranft bo declared to bo unanimous
ly nominated, it appeared to tako tho eon
volition by surprise. Tho motion evidently
had not been on tlio programme at that par
tieular stago of the proceedings, before oven
tho nominations had been declared closed
Hut Mr. Haines saw his opportunity am
precipitated tho nomination; tho delegates
placidly said "aye, and then felt no iucli
nation to make a further demonstration.

no doubt they would havo dono it, yet they
