The Attorney General of rtnnsyl vanlahas begun proceedings against the Western Un'.on and Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Companies for an alleged Tiolation cf the State laws. The con stitution of Petnsylvania says that "no telegraph company shall consolldat- with or hold a controlling interest in i the stocks or bonds of any other tele graph company owning acompning line or acquire ty purchase or otherwise any otter competing line of telegraph." Oa October 5tb, 137. the Western Un ion purchased the entire capital stock Of tbe Baltimore and Oaio Talegraph Company for the sua of S3.000.000 and cousolidated the two lines. The writ of qui itranto is made returnable on the mi of the present month and will he beard by the Dauphin county court on waiaay.

It was the general expectation at the beginnire of the venr thai the construc tion iii 1SS3 would be comparatively Utile, pattly bectuse it wis eapposed that the enormous extension of 1S67 had anticipated the needs of tht country for sime time to come. But as the Aje poin'a out, the trackNying of lSS has been exceeded only five times in tbe his tory of tht country, and la but little below the average for the preceding 10 years. A noticeab! d'fference between the extensions of 1SS at.d those of tbe two preceding years, is that very few of the farmer are important as competitive lines, whf e in 16 and lj7 tbe great feature of th4 work was the construc tion of lines to compate for the tr.rlic between Ci.icago and the two ceuters of KtnsasCity and S:.

There ia a great deal of misunder standing about tbe effect tbe admission of n-w S ates will have on the election o President. If North and South Dtkota. Washington and Montana are admitted withio tbe next four years, so aa to vote for president in 1312 they will add 13 votes to the electoral col lege, making tbe wool number 414. The late address of the National Associ ation of Democratic Clubs says "e cannot safely rely for a victory ia the next presidential election upon tbe 20 States which elected Tilden iu end which e'ec!ed Grover Cleveland in 1.SS4.' Yes, but we can. Tbe Stas thai voted for Cleveland in lSI eave him 210 electoral votes, while 2US Is only requisite under the admission of te four now S ates indicated. Cleve land carried the solid South, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Indiana, and these Stales will probably control tbe election of president the next do cad a. as thty have tbe last. We quite agree, however, with the spirit of tbe address to which we have referred, that the Democracy should broaden their efforts and fight tbe whole fi-"ld from Maine to California, as New York, New Jersey and Connecti cut were fought this year. To th:s end Democratic clubs should be maintained where tbey now exist, or new ones formed, so that every county of the Northern and Western States will have its organization, and wherever advisable township branches. W have never before seen a defeated ptrtv pulling itself together as the Democrats are now doing with a view to future deter mined effort. Two years ago tbe tariff reform sentiment of the country was an unknown and disorganized quantity. There was little debate on its merits, and no popular understanding of the sut ject. One year of educational work has done wonders. The line of battle hae been formed. nd on on side of it there are over 5.000,000 of Iemocratic voters a majority of the electorate united and tetermined to maintain the standard Cleveland holda aloft. This force will largely increase by the im petus of its own numbers, but more largely by tbe power of argument and reason. The corruption of voters and systematic bribery, with the aid of false Issues that secured Harrison's election, are not enduring forces. The caune of tariff reform, like anti-slavery bittle, is sure to win, because time, progress and humanity march with it. It is with the farmers th work of the future must be done. The working men in mills, mines and factories are growing in the faith, and can take care of themselves. It was among them that Cleveland and tariff reform md- th-ir culns at the late election. I'ittxlurg A 1'residencj hich Uas Sought. T. ere is not a man, woman or child in our country possessed of any brain but knows that l$;ojiinin Harrison was elected President by open, wholesale bribery. Mr. Foster advertised this in his weM-knowa circulars whereiu be called for funds, and quoted Senator Piumb as spying that the manufacture ers ongbt lo be squeez-d. Aod why should they be squeezed ? because, he stid, they are the sole bear Jciaries of the one measure at fsaiirt fn t xh.v.im j This was followed by Senator Iugalls'i t famous advice to the delegate at the untcagj Convention, which said: "Nominate som auch fellow a Patlps, who ca tap Wall street." Tois was followed by the Dud.ey circular direct ing the purchase of fl atets in blocks oi five or more." and assuring those dis hones' asents that tbe funds would not b wanting to close ths purchase. UnJer tun exhibit of evidence tbe fact cannot be d-nied ; but to make it conclusive, the Nw York U'orM has gathered from all parts of tbe country clear, unmisiakab.e proor of wide spread, clearly planned and openly exe cu'ed purchase of voters. The chair of the Chief Executive baa followed the seats of Senators to the market, and tbat highest f iftof the cit izeu has been sold to tbe highest bidder. Tbe great political fabric or tbe fathers, built from woetul expenditure of patri otic effort and blood, is honeycombed with rot. and remains, a mora a ham tn shame us before the world. Of course we are not so silly as to at tach blame only to one party. The difference between the two lies in the fact that the one had more money than the other, and a stronger motive for its use. The It-publicans being a "com bine" of property interests, depending upon tbe Government to make those in terests profltable. wer impelled to ex ertion far beyond tbe Democrats, who were 'ruigling for the power only tbat a p-vs9sion of the Government brings.

Shortiy after 8 o'clock th!s evening a number of persons dressed to represent the notorious bite Cap3 appeared on the streets mounted on horseback.

In whieh they were warned to cease ill-treating their families or suf fer the consequences. The majority of the paople do not know what to make of the strange ac tions on the part of the horsemen.

Notwithstanding the optimistic gen- t eralties in whtcb foreign statesmen bave recently Indulged, continued peace in Europe is by no means assured. Tbe troubled condition of the French Re public, the occupancy of the German tbror; by a domineering Prince, tbe steady eLcroacbments of It usua ia Con tra! Asia, the frequent recurrence of the Balkan question, and the half veiled contempt with which Italy looks upon France, all cobspire to mike ua wondei how much longer tbe waiting game can be played. Nor need anyone be partieuUrly elated over tbe crusade that ia being made by Germany a id Great Britain, ostensibly in the interest! of humanity, against tbe African slave trade. Bis marck's anti slaveiv ecoemi was seidsb in its inception, and wo doubt not will have a seirUh end. D.fficult ies are like ly to be encountered In Afric before long ; and the stra'.ned relations be tween Germany and England may soon break out in a quarrel over the course to be pursued in Zanzibar. In a recent thoughtfully written arti cle on tbe European situation Frederick Greenwood traces the ill-feeling be tween those two Powets to tbe luke warmness of Eoglani a few years ago when it was sought to bring her into a close fighting alliance with Germany, Austria and Italy. England argued tbat tbe proposed alliance should lend to prevent war in the East as well as ia tbe West, ia which event Kassia. batSed in South-eastern Europe, would not be permitted to attack India. The coali tion, of course, was never formed. Germany looked upon England's alti tude as one of mingled selfishness and stupidity, and the disappointment and irritation which it caused were natur ally intensified whn General Boulans ger appeared ia France as a distinct peranHge and as a menace to pce. In France tbe spirit of Boalangism threatens to work out an important change. The Question of Boulanger's merits as a soldier aud a military leader need not be considered. He may not be ii Bonaparte, but be has been hailed as a roan of destiny ; and, as Mr. Green wood well says, when a tuau of tbat character appears upon the scene, not far off will be found one or two man of genius to share bis luck and make up for bis shortcomings. That tbe German Emperor feels the truth of this is evi dent from tbe haste with which, im.ne diately after his accession, he sought to secure the support of Russia. Tbat be has not succeeded is also evid -nt ; and. although Russia appears to be playing the "waiting game." there is no telling how quickly she might chang her poli cy if tbe ascendency of General B Milan ger should become a fixed fact, I'hila. Record. (Juay For f resident. A Harrisburg dispa'.ch to the Pitts burg rimes says : The slaughter of Cbief Clerks Lovch and Cocbran, of the House and Senate, is now an assured fact, and is but the beginning of a fac tional scheme tbat will only end when Ihm nomination for Governor is made in 1890. Although Governors are not made two years ia advance, it is none too early to select the material from which to make one when the time comes, ard tbat Is what ia just now be ing done here in Hirrisburg, although it will be done as quietly as possible un til after the coming session of the Leg islature has passed into history. Qay is at present holding a "flush band" in the shaping of political affirs here, and the election of Errett and Morrison is the furthering of a scheme to break the influence of Chris Magee in tbe western part of tbe State and to give tbe nomination for Governor two years hence to Adjutant General D. 11. Hast ings. Or course. Has tines now deuies that he is or will be a candidate for tbat honor, but it is definitely koown among bis friends here that be will be, and, a'so, tbat he will he backed by Quay, unless tbe opposition ia koown to be too great, s-ill another scheme with Coop er, from Daware county ; D-lamater, from Crawford, and Mijor Montoo'h, from Allegheny, besides any others who may yet appear upon the btage. it will be a hard pull for Hastings, inasmuch as BeiIefont9 now baa tbe Governor. Should this scheme fail of its object there is yet another oa tbe tapis, and one which would probably be o? more personal advantage to Quay than the former. Senator Cameron's term ex pires In 1300. and if he could gently Be put aside without causing too great a commotion, that would be done and Ilaatlngs put into bis seat. That would be another blow at Magee and put Hastings in a position to render valua ble aid to Quay fonr years hence. That ia the only reason Matthew Stanley Quay would not have accepted a Cabinet ponf jlio. had one been ten dered him. . It might injurehis chances for 1S92. Quay wante to be President and until another election be merely wants to make blmself solid as the par ty leader. The Governor's Message. The message sent to the two Houses ot tbe Legislature by Governor Beaver i3 a clear aud business like statement of tbe condition or the State goveram-nt and the needs aod requirement of the people or tbe Commouwealth as tb"y present themselves to his view. As the goveruor sys. the mrS3ge makes no attempt to enforce tbe suggestions it contains by argument. The recommendation that personal property now exempt from taxation be made to bear its share of the burdeD of government and that the rate of taxa tion be equalized throughout the State is correct in principle. It must, how ever, be borne in mind that no matter in what form or upon what spaciea of property taxes are laid thev always in he end fall upon labor. Ni revenue can te collected except from the gener al wealth, aod as labor creates all wealth it follows that labor pays all taxes whether they be laid upon real or personal property or upon the person of tbe taxpayer. The only true principle of taxation is that which requires every citlz?n to contribute to the public reve nue according to his share of the gener al wealth, and the best system of gov ernment in a fiscal sense, is tbat which requires the smallest amount of revenue. There is a shade of disappointment In tbe governor's remarks on th an wlilinguess of certain holders of State bonds to permit their red-mption at a considerable premium. His desire to pay off the entire S'ate debt is com mendable, but it is bardly good policy to anticipate the payment of that part of the debt not yet due, at a heavy cost to the taxpayers. On the whole the message will com mend itself tn ihm .r,ci, n I Jt l inougcirm men of all parties. The surj-cts to which It refers are of grave Interest to the people of the State and it is to be honed that Ih. T I will ct upon them with du care and conaioaration. Jlarrislurq Patriot.
