Gov. llartranft is splurging nrnimil tho

Hon. W. II. Anmtrong, of Williamsport,
is nn ingenious lawyer, and it Is announced
that he Is going to undertake tho exploit of
standing on tho Krio platform and spcttkirg
for tho Lancaster nominees. That will 1c

Edward Mcl'herson, who has lost his oc
cupation ns clerk of tho popular branch of
Congress in consequence ol the Democratic
preponderance- in that body, recently made
n Republican speech in llerks county, and
tho Philadelphia Press says there wcro 8.000
pcoplo present I Tho local Republican papers
say there wcro from 400 to 000. IJilferent
people will vary greatly in estimating a
large assembly, but the statement of the
Prcsi in this instance looks liko square ly
ing. To havo had honest State treasurers for tho
past fourteen ycara would havo been worth
not less than twenty millions of dollars to
tho State of Pennsylvania. I!y this we
mean that if tho surplus moneys of the
Treasury had been used ns honest Treasurers
could nnd would have used them, the benefit
accruing to tho Commonwealth would not
have been less than tho sum we have named.
If llawle is elected, tho system so long in
voguo nnd so damaging, will bo perpetuated.
The Treasury King would rather seo llart
ranft than lUwlo defeated, and somo of them
do not hoiitnte. to dcclaro themselves to that
effect. Phila. Chronicle
Pkiishino and I'iollkt represent the

tho equal protection of laborer and employer,
the establishment of a system of free bank

tho pure nnd simple political faith and prac

Tho Postmaster General is making a tre

Krio ami its People.
We havo often in these columns spoken in
terms of praiso of the city of Erio and its
ppople. Tho delegates and others from all
quarters of tho State who fattended tho lato
Democratic Stnto convention speak in liko
terms. The following from the IJcllcfontc
Watchman is in point:
Whatever may bo said of tho timo and
troublo of getting to Krio nnd of getting
back again, there, enn bo but ono opinion ns
to tho place, and that is, there is no prettier
town or more hospitable peojdo anywhere.
Crowded nnd crammed ns it was during the
lato convention, we heard but one expression,
everybody wus satisfied, everybody was pleas
ed, and everybody came away feeling that
Krio did its best to mako it pleasant nnd
comfortablo for its visitors while there.
Wo would, had we timo and space, lovo to
give our readers u description of tho many
beauties and advantages of which that little
city of tho Lake can boast. Itsfmo harbor
and refreshing lakobreezcH ; its steam yachts
nud pleasure excursions out on the bay; its
magnificent residences and beautiful drives;
its substantial business houses, public parks,
line hotels, and over and above all tho real
liart-felt welcome extended by its citizens to
those whom business or pleasure tako that
way. Hut tho best way for them to know is
to go and see.
A pleasure trip to U;io nnd out on the
lake will repay any one who has the timo to
tparo and the money to spend.
Ex-Gov- Soymour has written a letter on
tho money question to n working man in
Pennsylvania, explaning tho evil which In
flation brings to the laboring class. Ho
writes: "Paper money is cheap and makes
society drunk as liquor docs an individual.
Then comes tho reaction, tho delirium tre
mens. That is tho trouble row in our coun
try. Business is checked atid thousands of
mechanics and laboring men are out of work
nnd suffering severely in our cities, Kvcry
one can see, if a few men had the power to
change the size, of bushel baskets or the
length of yard sticks when they pleased,
that tho laborers who buy would bo losers.
The same thing Is dono In effect when the
value of bank bills is chnnged, fur they
measuro values just as bushel baskets nnd
yard sticks measure quantities. There Is no
limit to tho quantity of paper which can be
printed nnd called dollars, but they uro not
dollars. The laboring man if ho tolls in
fields or workshops ehould bo paid In good
money, not in money which is at a discount.
Ho should get money which has a fixed nnd
certain value, If others, acting upon tho
Government or by other means, can chango
the valuo of paper dollars by gcttlnggreater
quantities, tho laborer will sutler both from
poor money and unsettled business. It may
bo said tho Government must put out n cer
tain quantity nnd then stop, but the history
ofalliiations'shows that they do not stop put
ting out paper moucy until they mako a
nauctal crash.

The Republicans elect their Goernor In
Mnlno after n hard fought contest, by per
haps n little over 4,000 majority, where they
formerly had from 15,000 to 40,000. The)

not having members enough to form n re

The Philadelphia Press thinks it is very
small in tho Democratic journals to find fault
with Hartrniift's carpet bill of thirteen hun
dred dollars. How then is it about the ex
penses at tho gubernatorial mansion in two
years timo for fixtures and furbelows am
ounting to over fifteen thousand dollars?
Gov. Hnrtranft's mansion cost tho Stnto more
In two years than Gov. Curtiii's salary for

than tho whole yearly salary of Gov. Pucker
and tho salaries of all tho olllccrs of tho ex

A change cannot be effected in the f ncncliil

Gov. Hartranft's Extravagance. Stealings.
Although our llarrishurg letter relates
mainly to the affairs of the city of Williams
port, it is highly illustrative of one of the
meaii3 of pilfering from the Stato that the
Radical ringpracticcs. This is ono case of n
thousand or possibly ten thousand. Guv.
llartranft spent $15,000 in one year for addi
tioual furniture fur the Executive mansion
mainly for snobbish glittering tinsel, and
this expenditure will be annual if n stop is
not put to it every week additional ixtrav
agances and stealings arc discovered mid ex
posed and these together will soonr m ii.to
millions. For tho whole of these Gov.
llartranft is himself directly responsible, for
it is his duty to see "that the laws are f.iith-
fully executed." No wonder, then, that his
administration costs the State over a million
of dollars annually, while none of his pre
decessors cost nearly half that sum. Nor is
this sum even a considerable or main por
tion of what his carelessness, indifference nnd
extravagance costs the State and tho people.
The STEALINGS, such ns described in tho
letter relativo to the Williamsport pilfering,
arciinmcnsc though neither half nor the fourth
has been told, nor can they ever be fully ex
posed until there is a total change of State
oflicors by tho substitution of Democratic for
Republican officers.
Thoso Walnut Htatilo Dours.
The Radical papers affect to sneer at the
papers that have exposed the snobbery of
putting Walnut doors on the Governor's
stable, but ns the Radical oflicials have stolen
them nnd submitted others, they must havo
considered them of somo imiKirtance. Tho
Roman Emperor who raised his horse to the
dignity of Consul of the Empire has been
held up for ages as an example of' folly and
n subject of just ridicule and animadversion
for that absurd act, yet Gov. Hartranft's
Walnut doors nnd stable carpets aro but a
feeble imitation of Caligula's heathen folly.
Perhaps tho grandiloquent gentlemen who
explore and exhaust their dictionaries for
terms of abuse to pile upon tho humblo
Democratic editors who expose Radical
snobbishness will now turn their terrible
batteries upon the historians who have seen
proper to record and denounce the Roman
Emperor's nonsense. Wo admit that it
savors of tho grotesque to resort to the class
ics to illustrate Hartranft's folly, but his de
fenders have rendered that proper.
To such exceedingly sensitive pantalooned
milk-maids as the squeamish prodigy whoso
name figures at the mast-head of tho Milton
ion we commend tho eloquent and exhaust
ive poem commencing with
"Dogs delight to bark and bite,"
Tho moral illustrated may not only con
sole his nerves but also suggest a lesson of
gentlemanly propriety and editorial courtesy.
The Defeated Candidate!) anl tho Nominee.
Tho friends of Colonel Noyes have reason
to bo pleased nnd proud of tho position ho
assumed in the Stato convention, though nut
so well pleased as they would havo been had
bo been nominated. There wero many gen
tlemen mimed in the gubernatorial candi
dacy, nineteen having appeared on tho first
ballot nnd yel ho stood among tho foremost,
being third on tho ceventh ballot nnd fourth
mi tho ninth, mid it was but only nn accident
of tho situation which turned the insetting
tide from him towaids tho able and honora

Colonel Noyes went into tho convention
strong, nnd his friends stuck to him truly ;
but tho nomination was given to another,
and tho result is accepted as tho will of n
majority of the convention and will bo sup
ported as such. It would lmvo been n pleas
ure tojiavo hoisted tho namo of 'the choico
of tho West Urnnch ut our mast hend, nnd
somo may feel disappointed at tlio result ;
but however much it may bo regretted that
Colonel Noyes Is not the nominee, it cannot
be questioned that the convention has select
ed an able and pure gentleman for tho posi

That Col, Koyes would givo his successful

Gov. Hlgler, it is known, always preferred
tho nomination of Judgo Pershing. Tlio
other candidates proposed in the Democratic
convention, as well us their friends, also an
nounce that they will givo the nominee cor
dial support. The union upon Judgo Persh
ing is therefore completo and thorough, as is
natural, for ho is not only n first class candi
dal nnd eminently fit for tho position, but
his nomination was not tlio triumph of any

bled to present an unexceptionable nominee
who could rally and comblno tho votes of nil

Senator Clialfnnt ami the King ltobldng
lllllillfi Act.
Senator Clialfnnt grows furious and bo
stows n string of libel and nbuso upon us for
asking him why he sat still In his, seat and
oven failed to vote ngalnst tho celebrated ring
hiding act of 1874, which enables the BUUK
Trumnrfr in t.a.t ..illll,,,.,. ..f lt.. ..,.,...1.... I r. , r i ... .. .. . '
Treasurer to use millions of the people's
money nnd draw Interest upon It for his pri
vate use, whllo tho pcoplo continue, to pay
Interest upon tho bonds which it should tako
up a bill that enables tho Radical Stato
ring to rob tho pcoplo day by day and to cor
rupt and control elections. Wo havo not tho
lcisuro now nor Is it an opportune timo to in
dulge in personal controversy with professed
Democrats, and ns the odltor of the Colum
MAN is not a candidate, his merits do not
form any part of the issue, nor are .they of
pnblid interest. Tho question for Tom, Glial
fnnt to answer, and which any constituent
lias u rightto ask without offence, Is, why did
you sit still In your Senatorial scat when tho
Hiding bill passed? Why did you not op
pose it, or endeavor to have It properly
.intended, or voto ngalnst it ? Tho following
i'rom tlio llarrishurg Patriot gives tho main
characteristics of tho bill :
A legislature, largely Republican in both
brnnches, passed the Hiding Act of 1874, by
which the Stato Treasurer was enabled, first
to deplete the general fund of the treasury by
turning nearly the whole tide of publioreve
nuo into tho sinking fund, and nftcrward to
placo tlio money among his favorites, with
out accounting for its whereabouts to any
body, nnd without any personal account
ability beyond the amount of his bund nnd
tho obligation of his oath. Tlio cash balance
in tiie. sinking fund usually exceeds n mil
lion dollars. Tho bonds of tho Stato Treas
urer aro for half n million So tlio people
have nl ways half n million dollars in jeopardy
for which they have no security but that thin
lino which divides the sacrcdncss of the
principle of ncertainsum held in trust from
the sacrediiess of the interest on tho same
sum, one being considered lawful prizo and
the other unlawful.
Though tho efforts of Democratic mem
bers of the legislature, assisted by sonic con
scientious Republicans, tho Hiding Act asit
originally passed tho house and senate eou
tcmplnted tho publication of monthly state
ments nt the condition of the sinking fund
and the deposits of money belonging thereto,
as well as large security on tho part of tlio
Stato Treasurer by nn increase of his bond
but through the manipulations of tho Treas
ury Ring these features wcro stricken out,
nnd the bill was forced through by a par
tisan majority and became n law in its pres
ent objeetonnble shape, by the aid of tho
must questionable trickery and tho man
ipulation of tho legislative record.
Here was an opportunity fur the executive
of Pennsylvania to interpose the power ves
ted in him by tlio constitution ibrthepro
tcction of the people against legislative mis
doing. Governor llartranft was ncqiininted
with every step in tlio progress of the sink
ing fund net of 1871. It wns introduced in
the house, a fair and honest bill, intended to
mako tlio changes in the law of 1870 required
by the changed constitution, nnd to carry
into effect tho letter and spirit of the consti
tution. It came finally to tho Governor's
hand an abortive nnd inisshnpen thine, gut
ted of all its goodness, nnd impotent for any
useful purpose It depleted the fund in the
Treasury for the currentcxpciisesof govern
ment to a condition of penury, mid enforced
n monthly newspaper cxhibitof the skeleton.
At the same time it swelled the "inking fund
beyond nil requirement nud hid it in tlio
Treasurer's private keeping. Governor llart
ranft knew the scope, object noil criminal
consequence of this measure. Only by such
contrivance could the pcoplo of Pennsylva
nia bo longer defrauded of tho uso of tho
largo balances in tboStatoTreasury. Know
ing all this, ho deliberatley set his hand and
seal to tho Hiding Act by which tho sacred
sinking fund of the Stato was made the safe
coveret where the public moneys could bo
manipulated for the benefit of tho Radical
bring winch lias so long dominated tho polit
ical fortunes of Pennsylvania. Governor
llartranft h:i3 ever been its obsequious ser
vant. For this act of treachery ho will meet
his reward in November. If thcro is one
tiling more than nnothcr which tlio pcoplo of
Pennsylvania are determined to reform in
the management of State affairs it is the
Treasury corruption. Guv. llartranft has
fatally identified himself with this abuse and
shielded it from the destruction tlio people
intended in tho provisions of tlio new
constitution, lie must now look outfurliim
self. When this infamous bill passed tho Senate,
Senator Clialfnnt was in Ills seat. He knew
its character, as he did not voto far it. Ho is
a candidate for re-election and many of his
constituents want to know why ho did not
oppose the bill. He attempts no reply to the
question respectfully asked, though any con
stituent lias the clear right to ask fur expla
nation, but childishly llics off into n passion
ami abuses thoso who put tho quest ion 1 Wo
havo been accustomed to the nbuso of rascals
all our life, nnd caro littlo about it, como
from what bourco it may. Hero is an cxnet
illustration :
Hoy. "Mother, mother, Sam Jones is
biting our Kate right in tlio mouth !"
Moriir.ii. "Never mind, son, I guess he
don't hurt her."
Hoy. "Hurt her! darn tho critter, site
likes it !"
Hut, Mr. Clialfnnt is a enndidato for re
election. It isthoreforo not only proper, but
incumbent upon him to explain. And thcro
are additional commanding reasons why he
should explain. Hois very far from being
nbovo suspicion of complicity with tho
Treasury ring that lias so long been thieving
from tho people. When ho was a candidate
for Senator six years ago a lieutenant of tho
ring appeared in the vicinity of tho confer
ence, notoriously in his behalf. It was ex
plained then that his presenco was produced
only by tho anxiety of tho ring that Mr.
Uuekalew should not bo elected to tho Sen
ate. Hut when that term expired, Mr. Clial-
fant was again a candidate, and tho ijencral
of the riwj appeared nt tlio conference nnd
effected his nomination ! After his election,
nud while bo sat in his scat, the ring Hiding
net, as tlio Patriot calls it, was passed, and ho
did not either propose to amend so as to pie
Bcrvo tho good feature of tho law then exist
ing, or even voto against tho pet measure of
tho ring I Wo reiterate, wurf Let him
answer, and not expect to escape by tho in
dulgence of his old womanish propensity for
scolding.

Tho Value of tlio Caucus.
Wo commend the following extinct from
recent speech of cx-Goveruor Hnwley of
Connecticut. It points out tho crying
evils of our present political system, nnd the
remedy. Moreover somo of the allusioiii
have nn almost local application. Wo quote
as follows :
"Meet tho corrupt politician at tho caucus
and thcro defy nnd defeat him. Tlio best
men of the town, or tho ditriet,or the ward,
have the best right to bo at tlio caucus to put
up tho hcnorablo citizen and to put down
the political gambler. There is a bad man
seeking the nomination. Ho has been about
the Congressional di-trict, or tlio Assembly
district to secure tlio delegates. He has hir
ed men to pack tho primary meetings, or he
has been purchasing tho delegates already
selected. Meet him and slay him 1 You
say thnt you are 'no politician.' It is high
time you were, for such purposes. You nev
er expect to icek office? Then you are the
very person to art freely without fear or self
interest of any description Those who seek
other places fear to provoko his wrath. The
tho timid and tho leas educated are no match
for his intrigues.
Let tlio solid men, young and old,tho good
fellows, the honorable men bo found always
at the caucus clergyman, lawyer, physician,
farmer, mechanic, laborer, and all. It is
tlio initial point of all practical politics.
Thence stait tho multitudinous forces that
stream toward our Stnto nnd national capi
tals. Every faithful citizen belongs there.
Parties are indispcnsiblo ns means toward an
end tho business will not bo dono without
them, and the caucus is tho inevitable ad
junct. So far ns his four millionth part of
the nation is concerned it is not for him to
grumble nt nominations, if ho did not go to
to the placo whero they began to bo made.
Ho does not to truly voto for President in
November as when ho goes lo tho caucus
that selects tho delegates to tho Stato Con
vention that selects the delegates to tho na
tional convention that selects tho candidate
fur whom the Presidential electors vote when
they in their turn shall have been selected
by a convention that was selected in caucus
es. If you think your opposite party wrong
in principle, seo to it ut tho caucus that a
good man is nominated on your side, lest
you have the unpleasant alternative of vot
ing fur a bad man representing n good cause,
or a good man representing u bad cause;
and feel obliged, in n certain sense, to throw
away your vote.
To Foreign Ailvei'lisets ami Agents.
Wo regret that thcro is no possible way of
reaching tho ear of tho whole gang of news
paper advertisers who propose to pay in
sewing machines, pianos, organs, traps, gin,
scholarships, ka. Many of these scnllawags
and cheats tiven prnposo n money dill'eienco
to bo paid to tliem by tho publishers, run
ning from one-fourth to one-half. Of course
every reputable publisher consigns theso oilers
to his waste basket. Of course, too, tliourticles
offered nro worth no more, if so much, as
tho money difference demanded, and very
likely will not bescntatnll. Any publisher
who hiill'urs himself to bo gulled by such nil
vertiscrs is n pirato iu tho profession, who
docs himself littlo or no good but inflicts un
told Injury upon his moro respectable fellows,
degrades tho business, destroys or injures
proper and paying advertising, nnd directly
nttacks tho business of honorablo agents.
No wonder swindlers flourish when publish
ers thus stupidly becomo their agents nud
tools.
The Night View or It.
Tho New York Herald gives utterance to
nn important truth when it says: "The truth
is that the country Is not suffering nny long
er from poverty. Wo havo as much actual
wealth as wo ever had, for although for tlio
last two years wo have been producing less

In tho gntnxy of Pennsylvania's: republi
can polltlcans, lobbyists nnd ringsters, in tho
halcyon duys of tho old constitution legisla
tion shone with the splendor of n star of tho
first magnitude, tho namo of tho "hero of
Mlnncqtin," tho lion. Peter Ilerdlc, but in
tho effulgent light of tho now constitution
legislation, his star has culminated, shines
but fitfully In legislative halls, and will cro
long go out lu utter oblivion, but will bIiIiio
all tho brighter elsewhere and littlo nienion
toes of tho Hon. Peter's work, and little jobs
liko tho following in which nn cx-Stato offi
cial in high standing figures conspicuously
and which bos created considerable excite
ment in certain circles intho city of Wil
liamsport during tho, past few weeks, will
como to the surfaco of events to prove that
tlio hero of Mlnncqtin still lives. During
Ilerdie's administration ns Mayor of tho city
of Williamsport, a largo debt was contracted
by tho city for many extravagant and use
less improvements instigated by him. It
wns, however, supposed that this debt was
cancelled long ago, ns ho gavo his personal
guarantco that the Interest on the city bonds
issued to meet this indebtedness should not
bo lessened by state, city or other taxation.
A few years ago tlio Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, in order to increase its reve
nue, imposed a tax upon the coupons of nil
municipal towns, nnd therefore under this
call tho bonds of Willinnisport wcro liable
to be returned for taxation. Just here, how
ever, Peter coincs to tho rescue, and by a lit
tle arrangement with Auditor General Al
len, (proof of which wo will show further
on), managed to secure to the then Treasur
er of Williamsport n receipt for Stato tnxes
on tho bonds, however, only about 30,000
of them, when thcro were, in fact, $028,000
of the bonds iu existence.
The tax imposed by tho Stato is 3 mills
on every dollar of bonded indebtedness
where tho bonds arc held by parties in the
State, so it can be seen at a glance that when
a return of only $30,000 instead of $G2S,000
of bonded indebtedness was made, that tlio
State, during a period of three years was iu
this ono little job defrauded out of more than
$1,800 annually, amounting iu tho threo
years to $5,500.00.
Hon. J. F. Temple, the present Auditor
General, on his induction into office was no
tified of tho actual amount of tho bonded in
debtedness of Williamsport, and immediate'
ly ordered a re-scttlenicnt of tlio account,
which rc-scttlcincnt was handed to the At
torney General for bis approval, and before
that officer tho following allegations wero
made by S. T. McCormick, Chairman of the
I'inniico Coinmitlo-of the city of Williams
port. "In tho matter of tho State tax on the

lly tlio settlement of Auditor Gcncrnl Al
len on n basis of $30,000, tho Stnto would re
ceive only t-108 a year tax on thoso bonds,at
the rate of 3 mills on tho dollar, but even
this ninoiint was not received, for by n mis
take In computing tho Interest, only T40.80
was yearly paid to tho Stnto on this largo
bonded indebtedness of Willinnisport.
The settlement of Auditor General Tcmplo
on the eonect basis, deducting tho pnltry
sum paid under Allen, shows a balance still
duo tho Stato of 5,500.
General Tcmplo will collect this sum, and
thus recover to tlio Stato that out of which
it was defrauded, shall wo say, by the conni
vance of his Republican predecessor.
The Stato Treamj.
It seems to us that the real charge in regard
to tho Treasury corruption has nt lenst, in
part, been misunderstood or willfully distort
ed. To prove, even satisfactorily, that the
Stato Treasurer has certificates of deposit of
tho large bnlutlec remaining iu the Sinking
Fund by no means answers the charges of
corruption that have been mado regarding its
management. Tlio essence of tho charge is
that Treasurer Maekey and Ills nssnciatcs arc
iHing nnd have been using tlio Stale funds to
enrich themselves, ns well as tp furnish n
corruption fund to control and carry elec
tions. Wo fail to. seo what difference it
mains whether this unlawful gain bo obtain
ed by taking the very funds received into the
Treasury nnd speculating with them iu per
son, or by placing them in the hands of fel
low conspirators, on deposit, if you please,
and participating in tlio profits and using
tho money and tho power it represents in
corruptly controlling tho State. It strikes us
as a distinction without n difference. And
it is hardly even that if, ns hns furyenrsbcen
ullcgcd without contradiction, Mr, Mackcy
is pecuniarily interested in the three banks
in which three-fourths, of the enormous Sink.
nig rtinu is deposited lhcsotluco banks
aro Kcmblo'snnd Ridgway'sof Philadelphia,
nnd Mnckcy's own bnnk at Pittsburgh. The
remainder of the fund is distributed among a
number of other banks in various sections,
merely to court their influence.
A significant fact in this connection is that
Kcinblc, Maokey's predecessor, who before
lie was elected State Treasurer was a clerk
on a small salary, was enabled to rctiro
ricli banker, and Mackcy, who was also poor
when ho first received the office, is now cnor
niously wealthy. Tho pcoplo cannot under
stand how these men have honestly saved,
even by a remarkable frugality, sueli largo
fortunes in a few years out of an annual sal
ary of $2,000. These fortunes aro made, if
not by direct speculations on tho State funds,
certainly by the participation by the custo
dians of the funds in the profits of the. reck
less gamblers who hold them. How long
will the impoverished tax-payers submit to
this system of corruption? Jeffcrsontan.
Charlie Ross.
For more than a year past tlio whole conn
trv has been excited over the abduction of
Charier Ross, a littlo boy then about fou r
years of age, from Germautown, Pa, All
efforts to find him havo proved uiiavailin
though largo rewards for his return havo
been offered. A few months ago two bur
glars wero shot and killed in New York, ono
of whom confessed thnt they stnlo Charley
Ross, hut ho in his death struggles could not
tell where tlio child wns nt the time. All ef
forts to trace his whereabouts or lato since
then have failed. Recently one Wcstervelt,
a brother-in-law of one of tlio killed burglars,
was tried upon the chargo of being an acces
sory, beloro and alter tlio, lact, and was
found guilty. Whether he is capable or wil
ling to givo any information about tho lad
is questionable. Hopes aro entertained that
through him or his friends the child tuny yet
be found alive.

Should Governor llartranft bo withdrawn?
Is tho question that Is now agitating tho
minds of tho Radical leaders in this Stato
Frightened nt tho dreary prospect of defeat
with him as their candidate, tho managers

would not bo ndvlsnblo to withdraw llnrlrnnft

Drown.
This nrrntigcnicnt has not yet been com-
.... ..... . ... r...
pleled, lint Is talked oi, nun we lmiy iuuk u
somo startling movements in this direction
immediately. Tho Radical leaders nro ovi-
ilpntlv verv badlv scared : they feel that
llartranft is n terrible. loud fur them to carry,
and that by abandoning him for tho prohi
bition camlidato they will stand a better
chance of saving themselves from almost
certain defeat nnd dlsorgatilzadnn. And we
think they are right In this. The junction
ofthcirforccs with thoso of tho prohibitionists
would be a masterly btroku of policy, and
though it would not savo them nor elect tho
candidate of thciradoption, it would nt lenst
enable them to effect a masterly retreat nnd
retire from the field in good order.
To this nrrnngmcnt, however, there is
ono man who will not ngrce, and that man
is Governor llartranft himself. Nominated
by the Radical convention of last year ns n
candidate for the Prcsidcncy.ho would esteem
it a death-blow to his hopes in that direc
tion not to bo allowed to carry the banner
of bis party in this fall's campaign. Hence
ho and his friends will fight nny such fixing
up of tho slate as will crowd him oil" the
course for Governor. We really do not sec
how our Radical friends will manago this
business. If they ndhcro to Hnrtranft they
will just ns certainly bo defeated as tho sun
will rise upon tho morning of election; and
if tlicy do not adhere lo him, ho will raise a
nest of hornets about their ears. llcltrfonic

The Power of Corporations.
Tlio latest statistics show that wo havo in
the United States about 73,000 miles of rail
way, with a nominnl capital of$l,200,000,000;
their receipts aggregating over $600,000,
000 amount greatly iu excess of the govern
ment debt nnd revenue. All this sum is
cnpable of being controlled and directed by
a few men. On all questions whero railroad
interests conflict with tho interest of the
public tlio influence of this wealth is a unit
against the people. It employs great armies
in operating tlio various lines of road ; it is
the best customer of the picfs;it controls
tlio telegraph lines, lias the rendiewt access
to the public ear, and is tlio all powerful
abetter or terriblo foe to political aspirations.
Many of our laws uro made in its interest
nnd along every lino of railway it keeps in
its employ the best legal talent ; theso men
becomo our judges, and, having been educa
ted to view laws-relating to railway mat
ters from a railway standpoint, naturally in
terpret difficult points in their favor. Mem
bers of the legal profession are often in tlio lob
by to serve this interest, nud instances aro not
wanting where representatives of tho people,
while holding ollicial positions, accept retain
ers to atlviyato claims adverso to tho lights
of the people.
A railroad corporation is soulless, and yet
immortal ; wiser than philosophy ,it has found
in a perpetual charterthcelixirof life. When
our fathers abolished tho law of primogen.
iture tliev supposed tho country was secure
against the evils of vat individual wealtl
accumulating from generation to generation
because tho certainty of dcatli would brin
the certainty of distribution : hut a perpet'
mil charter, granted without consideration
has become a spindlo to twist tho gossamc
thread across tho chasm of dcatli. All thi
vast and constantly increasing wealth is under
irresponsible control.
A corporation can neither be hung nor
bent to tlio penitentiary: that is to say, there
is an entire absence ol individual responsi
bility. Vigorous, alert, nil-powerful nni
perpetual, it only needs unscrupulous mnii'
agers to become a wor.-o tyrant man icro,
more dangerous master than Robespierre.
International J'cvicw.
There are those who say that tlio currency
planks of tho Erio platform are likely
provoke an aclivo opposition from tlio money
power. It may be so, but if so, it is well to
begin tlio jig now as at any other time, as
the people wcro never iu better temper to
dnuce to the music of their own rights than
just now. Prostrate industries, bankrupt
merchant, struggling farmers, poorly elm
and badly fed mechanics and laborers aro

money monopolies. Whllo tho money rings
iu the commercial centres nud tho national
bank monopoly could havo it all their ow
way, it was all right, but now tlio peo
pie, taking counsel from their necessities
proposo to striko a death blow at these com
binations, that very naturally struggle to
keep up a system that has enriched tliciu
nnd impoverished the people. Hut they will
bo met at tlio polls by a vote of tho peoplo
who will do their part towards breaking up

twenty-four millions of tho products of in
dustry and creates a chain of moneyed
stitutions which control tho legislation of tho
country iu tho interest of banks, and not the
people. Tho peoplo bay givo us greenbacks,
