THE COLOMBIAN. 5. 2. Elwall, 1 - .11... BLOOMSBURG, PA. FltlDAY, t'JJUHUAKY 8, 1881. Philadelphia Is strongly wedded to a republican form of government, and yet slio Ins been living under .i King for the past thrco years, and will con tinuo to do bo for tho next three, llo is a good democratic King loo. Tho bill for the relief of FiU John Porter has passed tho House by a good majority. It looks now as though jus tlco will bo dono a much wronged man. Tho press generally, and many promi nent officers of the army favor his res toration, while only such men as Popo and Logan oppose it. The debato in tho House was closed by Governor Curtln, In Porter's behalf. Wendell Phillips, ono of the leading orators of this country, died at his bomu in Boston, last Saturday at tho ago of 73 ycai-s. Ho was ono of tho original abolitionists, and consistently adhered to his political views. Ho rofus od to recognize the constitution of tho United Stales by voting or in any man ner claiming tho privileges ol citizen ship because it permitted slavery. After the slavery quostiou was settled ho'es poused the causes of temperance and female suffrage, and in 1873 was a Greenbacker. His lecture on "Tho List Arts" was an admlrablo one, and its delivery has delighted m any an audicneo all over tho country. Bolting tho ticket, as a general rule, is not advisable, but there aro times and circumstances where it not only becomes advisable, but absolutely neces sary for the reputation' of tho party and tho good of tho people. Such an occasion has arisen at Scranton, whero the Democratic party has been unwiso enough to nominate Frank Beamish for Mayor. Tho good men of all par ties will only do their duty by combin ing to secure his defeat Beamish is a skillful wire-puller, iu manners a gen tleman, in ability beyonu tho average, and in politics corrupt to tho core. lie is a boss and a ringstor of the first water, and the sooner the party shakes him off the better it will be for it. What Will Come of It? Under tho present system rf taxation tho revenues of tho Government exceed tho sum required by upward of a hun dred millions. The practice of tho Republican party has been to uso up this enormous and unnecessary surplus m schemes of expenditure that were extravagant and dishonest, as, for in stance, in Star route plunder and Ilobe- sonian robberies. Tho only source from which any effective opposition to this corruption and extravagance could bo expected has been tho Demo cratic party : and finally, after a sea son of unexampled recklessness, the majority of the Houbo of Representa tives became democratic and the new legislators were looked to for an honest and judicious regulation of the nation al revenues and expenditures. To accomplish this end two propo sitions were advocated within;the linos of the majority, and tho issue between them was joined and decided imme diately upon the assembling of Cou gress,"in tho election of tho Speaker. Those, who wero for making tho re quired reduction through tho tariff car ried thu day, and those who wero for accomplishing tho samo eud through tho internal revenue system were beat en. Tho dominating spirit of tho move ment which resulted iu the success of Mr. Carlislo was Freo Trade. Its im mediate purpose is to eliminate tho clement of protection irom tho national polity, so far as may now bo practi cable : and its ulterior purpose is to bring the tariff down to a strictly freo trade basis. To this end the system of internal taxation is to bo permanent ly maintained, notwithstanding its odious and undemocratic features. For if the tariff is now reduced in prefer ence to the internal revenue, that rulo will doubtless prevail in all future re ductions in national taxation as they may become necessary through decreas ed expenditure. Then, if tho require ments of tho Government should bo brought down to tho amount the inter nnl taxes now furnish, or if tlicso taxes should bo increased sufficiently, tho whole bo wiped out and tho dream of the free traders would ba completely realized. In that way this internal taxation, established under the pros suro for money occasioned by tho civil war, and intrinsically opposed to our scheme of government, would remain forever as tho source of Federal rove nuo. .Moreover, it is dithcult also, on any other theory than the desire to estab lish tree trade at an early day, to ex plain tho abandonment by the now leaders of all other purposes that havo hitherto held tho foremost places in tho Democratic platform, and their pursis tence iu tho assertion that the tariff is tho only matter that now needs ro formation, and that to altei it should bo for tho present their chief and only aim. It is an interesting problem what will bo accomplished by these gentle men toward carrying through tho pro gramme they havo mapped out for themselves, and toward realizing tho ono measure which they havo declar ed to bo tho solitary mission of tho Democratic paity, and the only remain ing reason for its continued existence No bill intended to radically alter tho present tariff can hopo to bo approved by tho tjeiato and Executive, oven it should pass tho house. Tho question to bo considered is what will happen after tho Democrats havo formulated distinctly what It is they wish to do in tho way ot diminishing tuo revenue, and after tho question has gone before tho pcoplo to be voted on. vVill tho Carlisle-Morrison method of dealing with this dithcult subject so commend itself to the country at largo that on that issno a Democratic- Executivo will bo elected, and tho unnecessary and objectionable surplus bo wiped out at an early day 7 or will tho Democratic party, snipped ot us old ideas and (jpirit, hesitating and disordeied by imposition of an issue on which it has iiovcr been united, riiik under tho bur len of its new platform, and another .Uepublloan Administration succeed 1'rc eident Arthur s T Tho roveiiuo reformers havo entered upon a bold crusade. Aro thoy or aro others destined to profit by it T Ai Y. Sim. THE HIGH WATERS, Tho Allegheny river at Pittsburg, on Wednesday evening had risen thirty four feet. Bovrn inenes i and tho Mon- ongahcla thlrty-thrco foot six Indies , tho highest point reached sinoo 18o2. Miles of property in tho city of Pitts burg aro submerged. Tho damage to this city nlono will probably reach SI, 000,000. At Cincinnati tho Ohio river had reached sixty-one feet, and still rising at tho rate of two inches per hour. Tho highest point ever reached was last year, whon It rose to sixty-six feet, l inches. It is feared tho present rise will exceed last year. When the water reached sixty feet tho gas works wero closed, and the pcoplo woro com pelled to use lamps. Tho ice started on tho West Branuh of tho Susquehanna and formed loo ;orges on Monday and Tuesday. On Vednesday at Clearfield tho water had reached tho highest point b'uico 1805. Several bridges were swept away. Un ihursday morning tho ieo had not yet moved on tho Vortli Branch of tho Susquehanna, but tho river was rising steadily and the ieo must soon start DEATH OF JUDGE FA0KEE. Harry 12. Packer, President of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, died at his homo in Mauoh Chunk last Friday morning, nged about thirty thrco years. IIo was thu last male representative of tho Packer family. bout tivo ears ago Jutlgo Asa rack- or, his father, died, and within the last two years his mother and his brother Kouert A. havo also died. .Neither Kobeit nor Harry left any children, and the bulk of tho cstalo valued' at many millions falls to a maiden sister, Mary. At the timo of his death ho was an associate judgo of Carbon coun ty and a member of tho Democratic State Executivo committee. IIo was one of tho fow millionarics who made good uso of his money, and his acts of charity woro countless His namo was mentioned several times as a can- dato for congress for this district, but he always refused to allow it to go bo foro tho conference. His death will be keenly felt in Mauoh Chunk where ho was prominently identified with alt tho leading interests, and by hosts of mends all over the state and nation. JVlornsou's Tariff Bill. Representative Morrison has com pleted his tariff bill, and it was in-' troduced in tho House on Monday morning. 1 ho bill was prepared last week, with tho exception of placing a few articles on the freo list concerning which Mr. Morrison was-undecided. A reduction of 20 per cent, is made in numerous articles, while in a few cases the reduction is greater or less than this rate. A provision prevents any reduc tion to a rato lower than in tho Morrill act of 1801. Tho titlo of tho bill is, 'An act to rcducn import duties and war tariff taxes."

BOSSISM. Mit. Editor ; At a meeting of tho "Democratic county oomml'.tco" last summer, I presented tho following re solutions, to-wlt : Jlcaolved, That tho principle of De mocracy is a "government of tho peo ple, by tho people and for tho people," and violently opposed to ono "of the bosses, by tho bosses and for tho boss es." Jlesotved, That standing iu and around tho Court House enticing voters to saloons, or county vaults for elec tioneering purposes is beneath tho re spect of common decency and a dis graco to tho Tcmplo of Justice Jicsolcecl, That wo recommend and earnestly dcslro every Democratlo voter in tho county to attend tho dele gate election and sparo neither pains nor labor in opposing any and every thing in tho shapo or form of bo's- S18I1). When I read tho i.bove resolutions to tho said committee, tho lids wero lifted and considerable sulphur boiled over, and tho bosses barely prevented their adoption. 1 learn the "King 1 nre still censur ing me, but tho bosses may as well bury their tomahawks and break their scalping knives, for they will not get tho scalp, this year, ot imv honest man who has tho unpurchased nnd uiipur- ohasable Democracy of tho county be hind him, aud who do not propose tc bo bucked and gasrged by bosses or political slate makers. 1 he political bosses havo not only corrupted tho Republican parly beyond hope ot reform, but they havo mado long strides toward corrupting the Democratic party as to its ollicial ma chinery and legislature. llio people of tfio tinbougfit and un- buyablo democracy must wako up and kick out tho bosses aud rings that as sume to rulo the democratic party in this county. Tho money changers must bo scour god from tho Temple. Politicians can not do it, no appeal can bo made to bossism, the task will not be accom plished by building ono machine against another; nor by creating ow bossism to put down another; bossism can only bo put down by a determined, outpouring of the peoplo at the primaries and put ting down and trampling under foot all corrupt elements. It is the peoples and not tho politi cians' task to sec that none but honest men aro nominated and elected to of- fico by Democrats, that bad, corrupt men, bosses, ringslers, office broker politicians, who by means of money and whiskey use the worst means to acquire office, power auJ spoils, must be made to serve in the ranks or go. 1 am no candidate, have no particular friends to boost or enemies to injure, but I want to seo all true Democrats havo a fair chance according to their merits, and do not want to seo a poli tical cut throat bossism control the nominations or say who shall, or shall not receive the honors and rewards within tho gift of tho party. 1 have lust read your aJnnrable, editorial on "Our Electioneering Sys tem" in tho Coi.umhian of January 18 but, air. Jiditor suppose you were a candidate for office, say living in So garloaf and attended to your bu siness, how could you know who were or would bo candidates at any given election! Candidates, as you aro aware, often do not announce themselves until just beforo the primaries. How could you make an agreement with thoso to not electioneer? Again, suppose you live in Jiloomsburg as do seven or eight can didates at this time, and you made it a point to watch for every prominent or influential man iu the county who comes to town for the purpose of so liciting his vote foryourself, would you not havo a great advantage, other things being equal, over tho candidato from Sugarloaf or tho other outer townships who stay at homo attending to their particular business ? Would it bo fair that tho poor coun try candidato should stay at home while tho rich and influential office holder could walk tho streets of Blooms burg aud in thrco months see all tho prominent men of tho county! I think not. (J. JU. lil.AKHIt. His Thankless Life DANIEL WEHSTEIt's DISAPPOINTMENT AS HE TOI.D IT TO AN INTIMATE FRIEND. Correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer. Daniel Webster, it is known, was poor. Ho had tho power to niako money but not to keep it, for bis houso was as open as tho day to melting charity. His only son, a man of fino intellect and character, but like his par ents of litllu wealth, asked of tho Tay lor administration an office, which no ono doubted ho was competent to fill. The result is told in tho words of Mr. Webster to ono of his intimate, friends. The conversation occurred whilo Taylor was still President. "If I woro to live my life over again with my experience, I would under no circumstances and from no considera tion, allow myself to enter public life. Tho public is ungrateful. Thu man who serves tho public ni09t faithfully receives no adequato reward. Iu my own history those acts which havo been before God, tho most disinterested nnd the least stained by selfish considera tions havo beeu precisely thoso for which I have been most freely abused. No, no, havo nothing to do with poli tics. Sell your iron, cat no bread of dependence, support your family with the rewards of honest toil, do your duty as a private citizen to your country, but let politics alone. It Is a hard life. a thankless life. Still I know it has its compensations. There aro somo goeen spots, occasional oases, in tho life of a publio man ; othcrwiso ho could not livo. Tho conviction that tho groat mass of tho intelligent and patriotic citizens of your country approve of well-directed effort to servo thera is truly consoling. Tho confidence on tho part of my follow oitiy.ens I think I possess. I have had iu tho oourso of my ollicial life, which U not a short one, my full sharo of ingratitude, but tho unkindest cut of all, tho shaft that has sunk tho deepest into my breast, has been tho refusal of this ad ministration to grant my request for an office of small pecuniary consideration to my only son. Ho then straightoned himself up, aud, with conscious dignity added : "I havo not deserved such treatment, I havo served my country too long and too assiduously to receive such a slight from this administration. However, let us say no more about it ; tho wholo thing is too contemptible to claim from mo a moments thought. DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. Hidden Star Routo Facts. UNPALATABLE TPUTIIS AIlOtIT l'l HMO MEN THAT Till! QOVHUNMENT SEEKS ro suppress. Postmaster General Grcsham has Informed Mr. Springer that it would be detrimental, in his opinion, to publio Interests to havo certain papcis on file In tho Post Ofilco Department sub mitted to tho House. Tho ostensible reason la, that the publication of theso papers would Innterfcro with further prosecution by thu Government of per sons accused of conspiracy or other wrong actions in tho Star routo cases. Mr. Springer has appointed a stib-cotn-mlttee to go and take a prop at these papers, to seo whether Mr. Gres ham's vlow is, In their opinion, right. This sub-conitnltteo will find, not that the Government holds tho papers back becauso it desires to see the svi donco iu fuither prosecutions, civil or criminal, but because tho papers In volve tho names of a number of men prominent in publio life, aud some of them high in tho esteem of tho Repub lican patty. Tho papers constitute, it Is true, a part of thu evidence col lected by the Government in thu Star routo cases. If this evidence should appear the question would nt onco arise, Why wero not these men pio secutcd ! Why were some taken and others hft ! Thus Mr. Spiingei's o.muuiltco Inigjit havo to go to' the root of tho motives that actuated the Department of Justice in theso singular prjeced-ing"- Mr. Springer's committee, may inci dentally bring out tho facts that, in spitu of tho evidence said to have beeu collected and in spite of the prosecu lion, the Post Ollieo Department has not recouped a single cunt from the contractors said to bu guilty, although it lias arbitrary power to do so. Why was this if these men were guilty ? Tho failure to bring civil suit against somo of the heavy contractors, the cur ious compromise committee consist ing of Ingersoll for thu contractors. Elmer for tho Government, aud George Bliss as tho impartial third party that was to settle tho claim of tho Govern ment what has become of that ? It has, so far as known, never met, and certainly uo results have ever eomo from its appointment. Responsive to letteis of inquiry sent out by Commodore Upshur, of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, suggesting that the bodies of tho Jenunettn victims be buried with De Long's at Woodlawn, replies have como which decide that tho body of Jerome Collins, IhoJferahl representative, will bo buried iu a fam ily lot in New York ; that Ambler's body will, on arrival, bo at onco for warded to Virginia, where his family live. Boyd's body will also bo claimed bv relatives. Tho bodv of Do Lour and six others will be taken to Anna- nolis for interment.
