Ohio and Indiana having changed
tlie time for holding their State elections
from October to November, the only
( etober election tliii year will take place
in Georgia on the 5th of the month.
There ia no organized opposition to Gen
eral Gordon, the Democratic candidate
fur Governor, and, therefore, no special
interest Is felt in the result.
The Democratic conferrees of the
Eleventh Congressional district, com
pi ialng a portion of Luzerne and a portion
of Lackawanna county, together with
Montour, Columbia, Tike, Monroe and
Carbon ccnnties, have nominated Hon.
Charles R. Buckalew, ex-United States
Senator, for Congress. Mr. Bockalew
is a very able man, with a reputation
for personal integrity that has never
been questioned andenjoys the confi
dence of the people of Pennsylvania, ir
respective of party, in as large a degree
as any other man within her limits. As
ha been well remarked, "Pennsylvania
never has had reason and never will have
reason to be ashamed of him."
There is mutiny in the Prohibition
camp, a call having appeared on Satur
day last in the Wilkeabarre Watchiire,
the temperance oran in Luzerne coun
ty, signed by twenty-three Prohibition
ists, including three members of the
Prohibition State Committee, for a Con
vention to meet at narrisburg on
September 30th. to nominate another
Prohibition candidate for Governor.
The Watehfire in taking down the name
of Mr. Wolfe from the head of the Pro
hibition ticket, alleges as its reason for
so doing, that Wolfe, who gained for
himself much credit for his open revolt
against bossism, is now, as a candidate,
attempting to practice the very thiig
which he formerly so vigorously con
demned in others. This, however, ap
pears to be an afterthought The whole
I difficult, we think, is traceable to the
election at the late State Convention by
a minority of the State Committee, of
II. D. Patton, of Lancaster, as Chairman
of the Sute Committee, his appointment
of P. S, Goodman to be Secretary or ine
Committee, followed two days after
wards by his (Patton's) resignation. At
a subsequent meeting of the State Com
mittee A. A. Stevens, of Tyrone, was
elected to succeed Patton, bnt that ac
tion don't eeem to have restored harmo
ny to the ProhiO-.tion household, so far
at least as the twenty-three signers to
the call for a new Convention are con
cerned. One of the signers to the call
is T. S. Goodman, Chairman of the
Lancaster Co. Prohibition Com., and
James Black and several other well
known Prohibitionists of that county
have requested him to resign and have
called a meeting of the county Commit
tee for Monday next to take action in
the premises. This revolt although it
looks ugly at first sight don't seem to
have any substantial backing, and at the
Prohibition headquarters in Philadel
phia, and among leading Prohibitionists
throughout the State it is not regaraea
as possessing any special significance.
There is plenty of room for one Prohi
hirinn PAndidate for Governor in this
Hon. James R. Ludlow, Judge of
the Court of Common Pleas of Philadel
phia, died on Monday last, in the sixty,
second year of his age. He had been on
the bench ever since 18o7 and was serv
ing ont his third term which would have
expired in January, 1888. He enjoyed
the entire confidence of both parties in
Philadelphia, and was twice elected to
tin Judjpjhip without opposition. In
171 he was the Democratic candidate
fur Judge ofjthe Supreme Court, but was
defeated by Judge Gordon by a majority
cf.nftefn;thousand. Judge Lndlow was
regarded as able, honest and conscien
tious a Judge as ever sat upon the bench
in this State, and the loss of such a man
cannot but be regarded as a public calamity.

the Irish when she and her husband
made their entry into Dublin, on Satur
day last, probably taking a hint from the
Princess of Wales, who wore a green

Prince Albert, visited Ireland some
months ago. In addition to being a very
ordinary man Lord Londonderry is a
descendant of the hated Lord Castle
reagh, and his reception in Dublin by
the conntrymeu of Henry Grattan and
Robert Emmet was marked by a cold
and sullen indifference. They regard
him as the enemy of their present high

selves, and look upon bis advent among
them with a feeling allied to hate.
"IN ten or twenty years," says tne
Lancaster Intdligfnrer, "Pennsylvania
will have lost its forest crown of oak
timber, and the Alleghenies will be but
barren slopes, covered with miserable
scrub timber and laurel thicket. And
y.-t it Is hardly thirty years since the
mountains of our State were covered
with the most magnificent timber. There
is very little good o-tk timber left in the
State, and that little is being used up
rapidly. The Pennsylvania railway
company uses enormous quantities of it,
and one contractor, bv no means one of
the largest, has twenty-five saw mills
pnra(7e.l in cutting it. It is not thirty
years since black walnut was cut into
fence rails in western Ohio. Our waste
of oak may appear equally criminal in
the future, but the use of steel ties will
in time relieve our forests of that enor
mous drain.'
TnE letter of acceptance of Chaurcey
F. B'ack, the Democratic nominee tor
Governor, will be found e'.sewDere iu our
paper. It is a p'ain. straightforward
deliverance, and can be easily understood
without the aid of a dlctlonarv. He
confines himself to the discussion of
three questions, the enforcement of the
provisions of Articles XVI and XVII
of the Constitution by appropriate legis
lation, the rights of labor and the liquor
tratflc, which embrace the main issues
in the present State campaign. What
he sajs in regard to each or them is di
rect and positive and leaves to manner
rr a. r
of doabt as to his position. J.nai wr. t
Black is the sincere friend of the labor- J
ing man bis public utterances for years j
abundantly attest. It is no afterthought j
with him for the unworthy purpose of j
conciliating popular support, but the ,
expression o! his honest, well matured j
convictions, and is consistent with all j
that he has ever written or said on the
subject. It is not often that a candidate
for Governor of this State has so posi
tively and unreservedly expressed his
views in reference to the important
questions wih which the nut State
-!trv -itrtirn wM he cUed upon to
York. Ta., Sept. 10. 1886
Gentlemen : I desire to acknowledge
again, in ibis more public manner, the
courtesy with which you have discharged
thedutv imposed upon you by the Oemo
rmtie. Convention. It was understood
when vou presented the official notifica
tinn of mv nomination for Governor
that I would at a later period, make
more formal response.
I am the nominee of the Demorrati
nart fnr Governor. The questions to
be resoived by the election relate to the
management of the State uovernmeni
exclusively, and I am concerned now, as
I would be if elected, about nothing
else.
THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE CONSTITU
TION. Pennsylvania has a constitntion. All
her officials take a solemn obligation to
support and defend it. Shall it be en
forced in all its parts and on all persons
alike ? None of its provisions are open
ly resisted and defied by any respectable
number of persons, except those con
tained in Articles XVI and X II. 1 heir
scope and purpose are well known. They
were framed to secure to the people their
equal and lawful rights upon he high
ways of the Common wealth. Their due
enforcement under "appropriate" acts
of Assembly wiuld injure no honest
business, and disturb no legitimate in
terest. On the contrary, it would pro
mote the welfaie of the entire people,
including that of the shareholders of the
transportation companies themselves.
Their best interests are intimately asso
ciated with the general interests of the
Commonwealth, under whose wise poli
cy they are created, regulated and pro
tected! The hand which breaks the
sanctity of law in one case weakens it in
all. The aggressor who defies the con
stitution to seize a wrongful advantage
to-day, invokes it to morrow for his own
protection. Least of all can corporations
in the enjoyment of public grants for
public purposes, affird to disregard its
wholesome restrictions, io no so is al
most necessarily to arouse among free
men a spirit which may seek, and in
num t ins instances has sought, reclama
tion by proceedings as little in accord
with fundamental law and vested rights
as those which provoked it. We propose
to hold the shield of the constitution
over all alike ; and behind it there is
no place for extortion on the one hand
or for confiscation on the other. The
articles In question must be erforced.
The people are determined that they
shall be, and that the abuses which they
were intended to correct shall cease. On
this important subject there has never
been any doubt about the attitude of
the Democratic party, and I believe I
am its nominee to day principally be- j
cause there is no doubt about mine. And ;
in this we are happily not alone. Every
partv but one, offering State cand-.dates
at the pending election, concurs with
ours in the demand for enforcement of
those provisions, and the election of a
Legislature which will pass the "appro
priate legislation."
LABOR AND CATITAL.
The enforcf ment of the articles of the
constitution, relative to railroads, tele
graphs and canals would in itself afford
a large measure of relief to the product
ive industries of the state and to the
manual laborers employed In them. But
tne latter reqoire more than this. They
have special grievances demand'ng spe
cial remedies. Upon some of them the
convention spoke freely and nnequivo
callv, and in accepting the nomination
1, of course, accept the platform. Shou'd
I be elected. I would invite the cordial
wealth of the country increasing iu -ratio
almost appalling ; bat be also sees
it concentrating in the hands of a very
few and he knows there is snmeth.ng
essentially wrong in those laws which
nnh a division of the common
produce of capital and labor. What he
wants principally is a free field and a rair
one ; a repeal of the laws which circum-
scribe him, wi:n a caretui rr""
lowed by a vigilant enrorcemruu,
those which piotect his life and healtn
while at work, and insure him tne regu
lar payment of his earnings in honest
cash.
Some time since I was appeaien io uy
miners in the Monongahela valley to am
them in securing the appointment of a
coal and Iron policeman, win might be
employed, in the interests of the men, to
protect them against systematic swind
ling by false weighing on the tipples.
They said that plundering of the work
men was systematic and extensive, and
was the main cause of the disastrous
strike then prevailing in that region.
But when I came to examine the law, I
found that the Governor might appoint
any number of those pecaliar coal and
and iron policemen, at the instance, in
the pay, and for the exclusive puryow-0 ,
of the emplovers, but not one for the ;
tu.ni.ni of the men. however clear the j
ecessity, or urgent the appeal, i nis io
nractical illustration of what I mean
when I sav that the laborers' interests
have been studiously and cruelly subor
dinated to the interests of others.
During the past year Pennsylvania, n
comr-jon with many other stages, has reit
profoundly, and to her sore cost, tne
throes of labor madly seeking the better
ment of i's condition, with the rearess
of wrongs known to exist, the remedies
for which are bat vaguely unoersioou.
The losses inflicted by these recurring
struggles are simply tremeunous anu in
calculable. They fall heavily upon all
classes, and upon none more neavuy
than the workingmen tnemseives. aiuai
they go on forever ? Suoh wide tumults
among men ordinarily sober and indus
trious, such vast sacnnces or nreau auu
peace by multitudes of intelligent ana
orderly citizens are not without grave
cause. I beliave they will cease, and
cease only when the wage earner is
placed upon the dead level or legal
equality with the wage-payer, at every
stage and in every particular of the sev
eral transactions between mem. ox-n
of conservative minds have witnejsed
the beneficial results of the progress or
labor in self-organization, with intense
satisfaction. Such organization, com
pleted and oerfected. promises apparent
ly justice, order and repose to all the j
interests concerned. Why not give to
it the sanction of the law and the pro- j
tectiin of the State ?
Incorporation may prove to be the i
simple but beneficent expedient of which
all modern society appears to be in com- :
mon search. The remedj foi all public
and private wrong must be in the law ;
and iudustrj organized under the law,
and with the protection of the law that
is given to capital, would find its own
safety in the just r. straintsof the law,
which makes the rights of person and
property sacred under our free institutions.

TnE BURDENS ON REAL ESTATE
Like the men who work for daily or
weekly wages
the agricultural people,
with even less excuse for the dereliction,
have neglected the care of their own
interests; and by reasor of protracted
failure to employ the necessary instru
mentalities of mutual organization and
representation in the government, they
find the burdens of the State resting
more heavily upon their fields than upon
any other form of property ot equal
value. While their lands are deprecia
ted, and their produce ut:dersld in their
own markets, in consequence of discrim
inations against local freights, the reve
nue and tax laws are mad to bear upon
them with undue and excessive exaction.
THE PROHIBITION ISSUE.
There is, I believe, hut one other dis
tinct question of State policy involved
in the election of this year. One of the
political puriies has avowed its purpose
to pass through two successive legisla
tures, and submit to the people a Con
stitutional amendment 'orbidding the
manufacture and sate of intoxicating
liquors in this Commonwealth. A third
party, constituting in themselves that
"respectable portion of the people" re
ferred to by the others in their platform,
insist upon immediate and total prohibi
tion by legislative enactment, without
waiting upon the needless and tedious
processor amendment. Nuitherof these
parties looks toward indemnification for
the large amounts of private property
which must be measurably destroyed by
the enactment of such a law, or the
adoption of such an amendment. The
Democratic party has, on the other
hand, from Its formation, consistently
opposed sumptuary laws, "which vex
the citizen and interfere with individual
liberty."
But this denial of the right of prohi
bition implies the duty of regulation ;
and though the just power of the State
does not extemd to th prescription of
the drinK, diet or dress of the individual
man, it does extend to the prevention of
Bey abuse of his private right affecting
his neighbor or society at large ; and I
favor the enactment of any laws, how
ever stringent, which may be necessary
I to that purpose, and, in any event, the
rigid enforcement of those now in exist
ence. Conscious of the terrible evils of
excessive indulgence, we do not attempt
to eradicate them by a species of legisla
tion which has never failed to Increase j
them, but which inevitably brings on
the desperate resistance of the citizen,
who feels himself deprived of a natural
light, aud with it a train of illicit crimes
and ruinous disordeit. I cannot better
conclude this paragraph than by the
following passage from the band of the
illustrious Tilden :
"Such legislation springs from a miscon
ception of tbe proper sphere of government.
It is do part of the dutv of the State to co
erce the Individual man so far as his con
duct may affect others, not remotely and
consequentially, but by violating rights
1 which legislation can recognize acd under
take to protect. The opposite principle
leaves no room (or individual reason and
i conscience, trusts nothing to self-culture,
; and substitutes the wisdom of the Senate
and Assemhiy for the plan of moral govern
ment ordained hy Providence. The whole
, progress of sociaty consists In learning how
to attain, bv the independent action of vol
untary association of Individuals those ob
jects which are at first attempted only
. through the agency of government, and in
' lessening the fphere of legislation and en
1 larglng that of the individual reason and
1 conscience. Our American Institutions

The hundredth anniversary of that

remarkable that Mr. G. F. Hoar and
other senators who were much interest

landing of Columbus for 1892. six years
hence, let dip from their effoits any ob
servance whatever or the centenary of
their ovn national Constilution. which
was to occur five years earlier. Yet they
are presumably familial with the mem

of distinguished signatures, beginning
with that of "Geo. Wasui-igton, Pres't.

The hundredth anniveisary of such an
event in our political hiBlory should
hardly pass without notice; and. inas
much as Congress has hitherto taken no
steps to celebrate it, to day's gathering,

i wages of labor, the price of commodities, a
man's food and clothing, were dictated to
the well paid and expert agents of other
interests, the laborer labored on in his
vocation, t rusting to the honor of his
official representatives. The result is a
mass of laws in which every interest but

cunningly restricted in the m st impor

combine to limit production and suspend
his employment ; to raise the prices of

labor at better rates, he is too frequently

AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.
These appear to me to be the definite
issues to be determined by the elecion.
They are none of them partisan ques
tions. They concern deeply and vitally
tne most, important interests of society
chared with disorders for which he is 1 and each f tbem involves the perma-
not primariiv responsible, prosecuted
nri r 'hws which are but a slight modi
I ueui weirum oi eunre c.BSses or our
I people. Will the voters permit merely
convention at I'liiladelphia, on the 14h
of May of that year. The difficulties
environing their tank were very g rent,
aa the failure of previous efforts to con
fer upon Congress even carefully res
tricted authority lo raise ar adequate
revenue bad made obvious. At lasi with
four mouths of cootionous work through j
the summer, the task was accomplished.
The Cougress of the Confederation ou
the 2131 ot February, however, in its
resolution counseling the Slates to hoid
this Convention, had added to its pro
posed duties that or "reporting to Con
gress and the several Legislatures" the
results of its labors, so that its "'altera
tions aud provisions" might, "when
agreed to in Congress and confirmed by
the States, render the Federal Cousti.u
liou adeqjaie to the exigencies or Gov
ernment and the preservation of the
Union." The co operating acts of the
Legislature closely tollowed this phrase
ology of Congress, so that it became the
duty of the Convention to make a formal
report ot us work to --ihe United States
in Congress assembled." especially as
tbe document it had produced was less a
revision of the existing Articles of
Confederation than a new Federal Con
stitution. This part of its work, then, was done
also on tbe 17th of September, 1787. It
look the form of a set of resolutions and
a letter. I he records snow tnat on tnat ,
day were present in convention the i
states of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, 1
Connecticut, Mr. Hamilton from New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Dela
ware, Maryland, Virginia, Noith Caro
lina, South Caralina, and Georgia. " The
resolutions unanimously adopted firsf
proposed to Congress a method ot sub
mitting the Constitution to the States for
their assent and ratification through "a
conventioh of delegates chosen in each
State by the peoplw thereof," and, second
ly, a method or setting the new Govern
ment iu operation by fixing a day for tbe
appointment ot electors to vote foi the
Fresideut and also for the choice of Sen
ators and llepresentatives. These reso
lutions, the work ol the lth of Septem
ber' thus became of high practical impor
tance, aod tiif ir suggestious were carried
Into effect by Congress. 1 he letter sent
to "his Excellency, the President of Con
gress," was a dignified, earnest and elo
quent presentation, in brief, of tbe aims
an J tue general result of the Convention's
labors :
"la all oar deliberations on this snhjeet we
keep steal II j In oar view that wnlcn appears to
us the Kreatest Interest of every trae American
tne consolidation of our Union In wbicb Is In
volved our prosperity, feltotty. catety, perhaps
our national exlateuce. This Importaut consider
ation, serloasty and deeply Imuressed on our
minds, led eacb State In the tionveotlon to be
less rlaid on points ol inferior maarnltade than
mlfChl have been otherwise expected; and thus
the Constitution wnlcb we now present Is tbe re
suit 01 a spirit 01 amity, and oi that mutual defer
ence and concession which tbe peculiarity of our
f olltleal situation rendered Indispensable. That
t will meet tbe lull and entire approbation of
every State la not. perhapv to be expected ; but
each will deuttless consider that, bad her Inter
est been alone consulted, the consequences, might
Dave beet particularly cnsaareeaoie or injurious
to others; that It Is liable to as few exceptions aa
Could reasonably have been expected, we nope
aod believe; that it may promote tbe lasting wel
fare 01 tbatoountry so near to us ail. aud aeeure
her freedom and happiness, is oar most ardent
wish."
Such was tbe work of tbe 17th of Sep
tember. 1787. It is certainly a work not
to be wholly passed without recognition
on us hundredth anniversary. Undoubt
edly the chief national celebration of tbe
touudatiou of our Goyercment will be
thai or the hundredth anniversary of (be
30i.h of April, 17S9, when its formation
brat became effective io ail Us parts
through ihe taking of the oath of office
by George Washington, tbe first Presi
dent. But meauwhile some nonce of
ibis earlier day, with its cluster of im
port ant events, will serve to remind the
generation ot to-day of the circumstances
under which the ConsltutiOD was foimed
