Tlio dependence of foreign countries on

is shown by a statement from the Agricultu

breadstulFs exportation In the last forty-nine

much larger than that of any previous year.

The caso of Jcroino J. Hinds, recently ac

Spunky. Gen. Grant nud his cabinet re

nt Boston. Tho reason is said to be that
when on a recent occasion the President vis

The Pennsylvania railroad i3 carrying on
ji small potato warfare against the Reading

gating committee. These are the chaps who
had an item of $180 in a monthly bill pre
seated to the Auditor General for "inciden
tals," although their room rent, stationery,
and otlier necessary expenses had also been
charged. Tiiat was too much for lager nnd
not enough for French brandy, and the com

tho "incidentals?"
All the Democratic State conventions so
far held this year have pledged the party to
a reduction of official salaries. Maine and
Ohio directly resolved that the President's
salary should be reduced to $23,000 per year,
the sum received by all Presidents up to the
commencement of Gen. Grant's second term
No doubt every ono to bo held will .follow
the example. As tho Republican party put
these salaries up to an oppressive figure, of
course they cannot be expected to condemn
their own acts. But tlio people will attend
to that.
What wo vainly thought was a reasonable

If tho politicians who invited Gen. Sher

palgner into making a party speech on th
"third term" or any other political issue,
they mado a flat failure of it. Sherman
flanked their manoeuvre with tho same enso

rate fortifications at Dalton, by marching
along another routo which Johnston did not
seem to think of and Sherman did. The

Whether all this is the result of the official

Tho Itadicalsof l'ennsylvaniadcclared for
an "economical administration ol govern

prido" to tho "beneficent fruits of Oram's
administration!" Grant's salary has been
doubled, carried up from twenty-five to fifty
thousand dollars per year, and tho White
House appropriation of last session was six-ty-nlno
thouand dollars In addition to his
salary. Lincoln got for cont'uigencles of
household in four years ninety-three thou
sand dollars. His salary was half what
Grant's is. Adding contingencies, Lincoln
cost an nverago of about forty-eight thou
sand per year. Taking four years of Grant's
rule when lie got tho sanu salary as Lincoln,
and adding to his Nalary nearly tlirco hun
dred thousand dollars for contingencies, and
ho shows an average cost of about ninety
thousand dollars per vcar,or thirty-six thou
sand dollars yearly moro than ills predeces

article, but is still on tho. rise. Grant's cost
last year was, Including salary, about one

total of about four hundred and seventy-six
thousand dollars for his salary nnd house

The Democrat might also have brought its
figures nearer home, and proved the same
remit in Republican Stato administration,
Gov. Hartranft was elected to serve at a sal
nry of $.5,000 per year, (nearly doublo tho
amount ever paid in Democratic times) nnd
house, fuel, light, stationery, postage, &.c,
paid by the Suite. Hut no sooner did tho
ltcpublican Legislature meet nftorJIr. Hart
anft's election than his salary was doubled,
and all the other expenses of the Executive
and State departments were at least trebled
over anv prcccdinc Democratic admlnistra-
tion and largely increased even as compared
witli his Republican predecessors. Tho same
is truo of every otlier department at Harris-
burg. Now the pcoplo aro asked to endorso
these salary grabbers, both Stato nnd fed
eral! The question is, will they do it? The
election will tell.
If the pcoplo now directly endorso a sala
ry grabber, ns those will do who vote for th o
re-election of Gov. Hartranft, what is to pre-
ent the same men from doubling their sala
ries ngain ? If certain action Mint is bene

Itestilis or the Strike.
Tlio Shenandoah Jterald says ono edict of
the striko lias been to establish tho cash sys
tem of dealing. It nntlclpatcs that tho re
duction in wages will bo greatly alleviated by
tho reduction in prices consequcu upon tlio
destruction of tho credit system,
A miner writing to tho editor of the Co-
t.UMMAK from Plymouth, Lttzcriio county,
says that "tho coinpromlso which has been
ndoptcd In tins region pays tho miners bet
ter than tlio 1874 prices', us it lias reduced
tho number of cubic feet heretofore allowed
per ton."
Tho Philadelphia Ledger says "it is a
dreadful tiling to contemplate six month's
loss of wages to thirty thousand men in ono
lino of employment and in tlirco or four
counties. At an average ol 15 a month lor
skilled and unskilled labor, tho aggregate of
unearned wages swells up to eight millions
of dollars. How much of this Is absolutely
lost would bo a difficult problem to attempt
to solve. Tho men and their families havo
been all this tlmo at cxpenso for tho means
of subsistence, some of which has been met
by tho expenditure of laid up earnings, and
tho rest must bo represented by debt, less
whatever has been received in contributions.
This hist factor wo take to bo inconsiderable.
Hcnco tho absolute loss is to bo measured by
tho amount of previously laid up earnings
expended during tlio striko added to the
amount of debt incurred to bo paid out of
future earnings. This must nmount to mil
lions."
Tho Ledger estimates that tlio losses of the
miners who aro paid according to tiio quanti
ty of coal they mine will bo mainly mado up
by the end of tho year, by crowding the
work of a wholo year into six months, but
thoso who are paid by the day or week will
scarcely profit much by this.
Tho loss to the transportation companies
will bo mainly mado up. But tlio operators
must bo heavy losers from tlio decay and iu
jury to machinery not in uso, clearing up
"breasts," occ. Economy in living, made
necessary by tho want of work, will nlso no
doubt make up a great part of the losses o
tho miners.
It is sad to see workmen compelled by
tlicir necessities to submit to tho unjust die
union oi corporations, nut llns in no wise
excuses tho blindness and selfishness of a few
leaders forcing on tho recent strike,
to tko great injury of tho general
public as well as thoso moro directly
concerned, when it was plain to every think
ing man that thero was no possible chance o
success, and when it was equally clear that
the miners must bo tho principal losers an
would bo compelled to yield in tlio end
But for the present it is over, though for a
timo a few may still hold out. The opera
tors will find it to their interest now, if they
havo sense, to do all in their power to satis
fy tho men and restoro friendly feeling. An
unfricudly feeling on tho part of the work
men will causo untold losses and disappoint
nients, while a cordiality of feeling and in
terest will bo of tho greatest advantage to

This is an indisputable historical fact, nn

er than that of tho Judiciary, while tho sal
ary of tho Governor has been increased from
three thousand to ten thousand dollars .per an

growing burthen of ofhcial salaries, and hav

licnlly qualified for tlio podiion .11011 who
ouiii woriiiny nil llio executive elialr an-l
o honor to our ureal old commonwealth
But thero nro others on the llstofe.utdid.itiM
horn to nominate would bo worse than n
blunder on the part of tho convention, It
is not eiioiigu mat tins or that ccnllcmau
inied for this high and responsible trust is
clever fellow, with consUWablo local pop
ularity and n consistent record ns a Demo-
rat, -Tho candidate of tho Democracy must
a mora than this. e lmvii fallen upon
times that demand tho services of a man liko
Tildcn of Now York. Tho people nro earn
estly nnd anxiously looking forward to such
nomination, they win not no satisfied
Itli nnv caii'lldato who may fall short of
his nbltlty, his Integrity, his ludnmltnblo
111 to imr.suo tho rlcht. ferret out and pun
ish tlio wrong no matter who may bo tho
evil-doers.
It is simply absurd to push the elaims of
somo of tho men whose names wo sco ninong
tlio candidates lor uovcrnor. ll nominated,
they would certainly bo defeated. With u
gentleman at tho head of our ticket who 1ms
tlio anility to know wliat aro tho truo inter
ets of tho pcoplo nnd tho ncrvo to fearlessly
discharge tho duties incumbent upon tho
Governor of u great Stato liko ours, his elec
tion would be ns certain ns nnvtmiur in tlio
fuluro can bo known. But wo aro not of
tho'-o who believe that tho opposition aro so
disrupted and demoralized that nnytiody can
bo elected over Hartranft, no matter what
hlsspialificatlons or whether he has any of
the requisites for such a station. It inut
not bo lorgottcn that tlio wliolo power ol tlio
Federal envernment will bo thrown iu tlio
scales against tho Democracy that tho in-
lluenco ol an nrmy ol ollice-liolilcrs is array
ed against us, and that to win, our candidate
must command that respect and confidence
which will rally around him tlio good nnd
truo men nl nil parties, such a man can uc
found, nominated, and elected.
To select for our candidate any one wlio
can bo imdc tho servilo instrument of the
corporations who seek to control the politics,
the legislation, the judiciary or our state
who, indeed, for years past have, in n meas
ure, had sucn control, ami are now assuming
to dictate who shall or shall not bo nominat-
such a selection would bo lndicnantly
rciectcd by the people at tho ballot box.
And such result would bo eminently satis
factory to the monopolists ol every kind, lor
iney ticsiro no cnaugo in mo iiiiiiunisinuiim
of tho government. They aro satisfied with
Gov. Hartranft. Ho suits their ' purposes
admirably. They fear no veto from n'm of
nuy measure an accommodating legislature
mav pass in their interests. Jie is iieir man.
Tho Democratic nominco for Governor
should be a high-toned, honorable, honest
fearless man one whoso nomination wouli
cause a howl of rage to como up from tho
Treasury Ring from that band of rascals
who will not permit a committee ol tlio dem
ocratic Houso of Representatives to examino
tho books of tho State Treasury, Such de
nunciation would rcsu t in Ins election, it
would convinco tho people that ho was tho
very man for the place. But to chooo from
nmonir tho candidates ono who could bo bus
pected of complicity witli tins Kmc. or wlio
might bo weak enough to allow himself tn be
used by them, sucli clioico would bo latal to
tlio hopes of tho Democracy of Pennsylvania.
Wo cannot say that wo havo no preferenco
among tho candidates for Governor, but wo
would bo pcrlectly sntisiicu witli tne nomi
nation of any good, true, able honest man,
and wo believe that such nomination would
bo enthusiastically approved bv tlio Demo
crats throughout tho length nnd breadth of
the Commonwealth. Whoever ho may be,
however, he must, to bo Micccssfnl, come up
to the Jcfiersonian requirement no must
bo both honest and capable not a mcro pol
itician, put forward in tho interest of dema
gogues; not merely a damagoguo himself
who seeks tho position with the purpose
in view of continuing the abuses ot which
the peoplo now complain nnd which tlicy nro
determined miM cease with tho present ad
ministration. Give us a Tilden for our nom
inee for Governor and there need then be no
fears of tho result; but to put a servilo tool
of the corporations, or ono in sympathy with
tho Treasury Rimr. on tlio ticket, and tlio
Convention might aB well not be held.
Four of the Clearfield miners were sent to
tho western penitentiary, ami two others
wlio had been convicted ran away. Although
it is a gross outrago to prevent a man from
working wlio desires to cam his bread, this
punishment for a first ofi'eiiio seems unneces
sarily severe. True, not only tho men who
wero driven from work and their families
sufi'ereil, but also thousands of other work
men and their families, and also to some ex
tent tho wholo public, and the authority of
tlio Stato was defied and insulted, yet proba
bly a few months punishment by confinement
in jail would havo been amplo to pre
vent a repetition of tho offence. If so, tho
deep ilisgraco to theso men of bending them
to a penitentiary is not justified. In otlier
words, wliero light punishment is sufficient
to prevent wrong doing, severity should not
bo resorted to, and personally disgraceful
punishments should bo inflicted only under
circumstances that are clearly indicated by
tho public good as necessary. As tills thing
of preventing men from working lias so long
been practiced witli impunity by strikers, wc
think that in tho first cases of conviction
tlio sentences should have been light as possi
blo at least short of tho humiliation of tho
penitentiary but if repeated tlio punishment
ought to bo nmplo and potential. If tho
ringleaders arc brought to judgment they
will, at least, bo fairer subjects for example.
Tho humble tools aro rather to bo pitied.
