The Philadelphia Timrs ssys : ' The
local newspapers cf Pennsylvania are
the most creditable of any published in
in the country, and they are rap'dly
growing In prosperity and power.
They have done their part to advance
their resp-.c'ive rections. and It should
be remembered that their usefulness is
just commensurable with their patron
age. The city journal, so far from at
temrtirg to retard the local journal,
always profits by the prosperity of the
local newspepers, for they steadily edu
cate their readers to greater needs ia
newspapers, and thus roultip!? the de

local journals multiply their readers.

It is said to have beeu discovered
that a band of Mexicans calliLg them
selves "A private bank," have btea
coiuing Unfed States silver dollars and
issuing the same to Mexicaus who give
them in return for goods purchased cn
U's side of the line. The profit in this
scheme can be readily seen when it ia
known that the United States silver
dollar of the present only contains 72
cents worth ot the precious metal.
This atleged bank takes 72 cents worth
of bullion and with a stamp, the exact
counterpart of those ued at the Uaited
States Mints, stamp tut the dollar.
There is nothing counterteit about the
dollar, and it is therefore d fficult to
detect it. The Gnacceers. wbo made
tbe discovery are of the cpicion that
this wholesale coining of unauthorized
liver dollars has been goirg on for the
past two years, and assert thitut least
.r).000,000 illegal dollars hava teen
foisted upon the citizens of the United
States by the keen-witted Mexicans.
The Independent republican?, says
the Tittsburg JVt, did a g-ood work for
he State and their party in 152, but
hy threw it all awy and reinstated
the ringsters in greater power when
bey refused to co-operate with the
IV.tUon administration in a just ap
portionment of tte Slate, and in 15S0
when thy supported Beaver for Gov
ernor, wlirtothey found so objectiona
ble in lSsj. There was an exchange of
master Quay succeeded Cameron
but no one will cUim this was in the
nature of an improvement. There
never has been a more detestable system
of bossirg one more tyrannical and so
little in touch with honest and intelli
gent political thought than the one
that now governs Pennsylvania in tbe
name of the Republican party It is
far more humiliating than the rule
John Stewart and his associates revolt
ed against in 18S2.
Wharton Barker, who was sufficient
ly prominent as an original Harrison
man to have had a tolerably strong
claim for a cabinet place last year, and
would have secured it but for the ne
cessity of appointing Senator Quay's
man "Wanamaker, breaks ground iu
suf estitig the possibility of an inde
pendent revolt in case the candidate of
the Snr.atorial boss is nominated for
Governor. The conditions this year
are very similar to what they were in
1SS2 ; only worse, if there is any dif
ference. The self-respect and political
integrity that compelled a revolt
agamst Beaver figuring as Cameron's
sign P"st, ehonld te equally strong in
a9sertirga Republican's light to own
himself, in opposition to the Quay
claim of absolute bondage.
The doughy chairman seems to be
getting a little cautious, and is report
ed to be making tracks nor his Florida
tithing ground, to avoid open complica
tions on the governah'p. Cut this is
all sham and pretence. The man who
governed the Peua.'jlvania J.pgiaUture
last year by a vrry inferior order of
deputy blisses, will have no difficulty
manipulating the election of delegates
and tbe outcome of the State Conven
tion, through his close corporation of
officeholders and expectants.
Some of the Republican party organs
in the State, sajsihe Harrisburg Patri
ot, are endeavoring to create the im
pression that the ontest for the Repub
lican guoernatorial nomination is au
entirely harmonious one. That is to
say that no matter wbo shall be made
the standard bearer the rank and file of
the party will ra'ly around him with
enthusiasm and devotion and place the
wreath of victory cn his brow. They
would have their readers believe that
bosaism is to play no part in the selec
tion of a State tickl ; that the machin
ery of the pnrty Is not to be used fcr any
particular cmuidate, and in short that
thosa who win the Cght will do so on
thnlr merits and iu no other way.
Let usseejist now how the tune of
thorgtns has br-n received. In the
western part of the State Christopher
L. Magee, an ir fluent ial Republican,
dues not hesitate to publicly state that
in the event of the nomiuation ot Sena
tor Drlamater a revolt in the party will
follow. "There was less can?e for
kicking :n 1SS2." says he. '-when Tat
tison wase'ecred over Beaver, and I do
not oelieve Mr. D.Vmater can be elect
ed Governor of PeLcsjlvaLia." In the
city of Lancaster lives Thomas B.
Cochran, the Republican editor of a
Republican r.i-wspm r, the Examiner,
who occasional'y iires a broadside at
what he sats is the Quay gubernatorial
ticket. Delamater and Martin. He is
also of the opinion that the contest is
not devoid of bssism. And Wharton
Btrker, of Philadelphia, declares that
"any candidate for Governor of Penn
sylvania who may be nominated by Sen
ator tjuy or his adheren's wi.i meet
with organized independent Republican
opposition."
Tims it will be seen that the contest
for Governor on the Republican side of
the fence is not as harmonious as some
of the party organs would have the po
p'e believe It is. Indeed, it is impossi
ble for them to disguise the fact that
the independent Republican voters will
not support a candidate who is put on
the ticket by the power of a boss. Plain
i3 the hand writing on the wall.
Public opinion of General Harri
son's Administration, says tte few
i'oik Sun, has now had time enough to
form itself and facts enough to direct
it. The record will be longer, but
there is no reason to believe tht it
will not be the same in kind. General
Harrison has painted his political por
trait, aud it has grown fami iar to the
public tye. More paint can be laid on,
but the essenii.il outlines and expres
sion will cot be changed. It is not a
picture to appeal to the pop-ilar heart.
It represents a commonplace and fussy
per.n. a political recluse center d in
himself nd distrusting all cunsM but
that of his lack-stairs Cabinet. There
arrt no s gnj of the statesman with a
thnrcunh mastery of public questions,
or of lb- political leader with o ins
sttDctlveor acquired understanding of
the needs and the wishes i f his party.
As far as tbe distribution of th effi
ces is crncerned. General Harrison's
principal ta.-k up to date, his poI'ct.
whtre it has been cocsistect, seems to j
hive been to uffroU and atger as many
powerful politicians in his par'.? as he!
could. PeiLaps be has succeeded in
"pleasing himself." "There h s been

party, and little or nothing to p'eaae

A Know Blockade In the West.
Sax Fraxctsco. Jan. 20 Tbe snow
blockade on the Central PaciQc rail
road, in the vicinity of Truckee and
Emigrant Gap. bas become very seri
ous. Since Tuesday last no Eastern
overland trains have been able to reach
a point further West than Colfax. At
present the east bound trains are at
Sacramento. Colfax and Shdy Run,
while those coming West are at Kxi
gran Gap. Truckee and Eno. At
Truckee the dep'h arges from eight
feet to drifts of 20 faet. The Railroad.
Com pan have several hundred men at
wrrk shoveling, east of the town- The
plow was only enabled to go a mile
out when it etnek with 10 engines.
The shovelrrs were called to the rescue,
and after several boors work, dug them
out m they could return.
On the West the road is filled with
drifts of 15 to 30 feet in large cuts. -A
ii'nw witn five engines was on the road
36 hoars trying to reach the tur.nel
eight miles from town. The whole
crew returned on foot, having aban
doned the train, they became ravenous
with burger. Another plow with. 12
locomotives started out to clear tbe
road to Sun mit, bat before they had
run two miles they were securely
blocked, and the snow falling back on
them, they were fast in both directions.
The passengers are quartered at the
hotels by the railroad company. Yes
terday afternoon it began snowing
heavily, and reports from the blockaded
trains at Emigrant Gap showed that
the cleared portions of the track were
agt in filling fast. Tbe officials declare
that tbe pr sent blockade is the heavi
est and longest ttey have experienced
for over 10 years.
Plows are unable to do much on ac
count of the depth of the snow. The
delays seriously affect the mail facili
ties. Noeaste'rn mail has reached this
city since i-st Tuesday evening. The
Western Union Telegraph Company has
a large force of men in tbe mountains
clearing the wires of enow. Telegraph
lines in some places are entirely buried
under tbe drifts, notwithstanding the
fact that the wires are strung on poles
35 feet high. The report that tbe snow
bound passengers are suffering for want
of food is denied by the raiiroad offi
cials. Abundance of food is supplied
them, and the trains are at no point
where it would ba impossible to reach
them.
Experienced men on snow sho-s are
constantly on the road between Colfax,
and the delayed trains, packing fresh
beef and other necessaries, and at no
time during tbe blockade baa any diffi
culty been experienced in giving the
passengers comforts aid food. The
passengers are not suffering from cold,
and a large number or cases of influen
z are reported, but the tufiVrers are
kept warm and receive nelical aid
promptly. The , 'sit nation is eqaHv as
serious or tbe California, & Og.len road
in the northern part cf the S:ate. The
train which left here Tuesday evening
for Portland is still at Redding. A
force of shovelers, wbo were wnrkinsr
south from Dunsmir, returned after 4S
hours wotk. Oje engine was biousb;
io. Otters are snowed in without food
or water. Another force started out
again wtth three engines and a plow to
ro-open the southward railroad. The
officials state they expect to have both
the Central Pacific aud the, California
& Ogden roads -pert tomorrow.
What is Called 1'neoinouia.
une or the extranrdio try features of
the present epidemic of it fluerza is the
large cumbsr of persoLS who, after a
few days iu the house, reappear with
the report thai ttey have bad pneumo
nia. As this word describes a distinct
pathological condition that can be ex
actly retvgLiz-d by physical signs, and
as a patieut with a well-developed case
of pneumonia is generally lucky if ne
can be considered convalescent in a
fortnight, these rnp;d recoveries have
bteu rather sut prising.
A v.ry interesting clinical lecture
upon the infltierizt, delivered by Dr. Da
Costa at the Pennsylvania H'pital and
reported in the Medical Xiurs, throws
some light upon this nutj-ct. He
speaks of the main compilation of the
catarrhal fever as "what is called pneu
monia." There have been, no doubt,
an unusual nnmber or cases, and fatul
cases, of actual irfltmrnation of the
lungs during this eidemic. but a great
manv of the cass to which the term is
applied, as Dr. Da Costa points out,
"are simply heavily congested lung,
with great debilttv, tbe lungs seeming
to collapse, "but withou any true pro
cess of pneumonic exudation. There
is want of expansion in the lower part
of the lur.g, especially on the left side.
ssucih'fq witn violent and pers's'ent
i pain, -wnicn makes tbe patient think
j h has pneumonia or some other grave
cKiiuiuou or ipc luctr." Dot the vhv-
sician does not detect the sounds indi
cative or pneumonia, and as the attack
subsides the patient recovers strength
these symptoms subside and "what
la called pneumonia" disappears.
This explains why so many persons
thick they have pneumonia and yet re
cover with a rapidity that would be
Impossible if they had. It Is not incon
ceivable that there are practitioners
wbo encourage this belief and no gam
credit for miraculous cures. When a
man has been ill it alwajs gratifies hfm
to believe that he has been very ill and
has made a narrow escape, and fortunes
have been made by adroitly cultivating
this inirocent weakness of avtr&ge hu
manity. rhiUu Times.

The Mite Stealing Basiat&s.
Tbe report of tbe Committee of the
West Virginia Legislature which baa
been investigating tbe trauds commit
ted in tbe West Virginia Gubernatorial
election is unusually strong for a docu
ment ot that kind. Election frauds,
even when they are open, flagrant and
generally known, are very difficult to
prove. Testimony of unreliable and
untrustworthy persons, wui have quar
reled with their former partners io
crime, baa often to be taken. Tbe evi
dence ot the Wen; Virginia frauds,
however, ia couclusive, and cannot be
disproved. Tbey were so glaring that
they could not t e concealed, and al
though probably not one-tenth of them
were unearthed, enough were brought
to ligh- to defeat the Republican
scheme for stealing the State and rele
gate Mr. Gfff to private life.
Tbe evideuce produced before the
Committee showed that negroes were
imported from other States into all the
counties of West Virginia where rail
road work was being carried on ty G. ff,
Elkins He Co. They bad not lived iu
the Stale long enough to entitle them
to vote, and most of them returned to
their homes immediately after the elec
tion. One baud of eeventv negroes
was shown to have voted in three coun
ties, and tbe open purchase of voters by
the Republican party was proved all
over the Stve.
The Republicans do not eeem to be
prosp r i g in the State-s tiling busi
ness. Tuey ought to bv been suc
cessful in Montana and Wast Virginia,
if anywhere. In tbe former they bad
tbe open ass'Stance of Russell Harrison
and tbe Administration, and in the lat
ter the conspirators were the Syndicate
of rich Republicans who own tbe estate.
Tbey have succeeded in keeping the
Governor of West Virginia t o( of bis j
office for a year, and in putting forward
two bogus claimants to the Montana
Senatorships. Tbey nave also put
themselves on record as regarding the
stealing of S' ales as a legitimate fea
ture of political campaign. JVr. Y.

Is f oraker a Fool or a Knave
The first result of the invi sMgntioD 1
of the Ouio ballot-box forg-ty has been
the dea h of Foriker politically. There j
was not much life In the corpse after I
Mr. Murat Hilstead's explanations, it
is true, but whatever there was is now
extinc". Ex President Hyes is a vital,
rampant political force con pared to
Fordker.
We do not believe that even Fora
ker's friends will grieve much over tbe
rrsult, or be inclined io dispute tbe
justn-ss of tLe general verdic . His
own testimony, as wellts tht of Wood,
has sbown h.m to t so selfirh, treaeh
erous and unscrupulous a politician
that their former admiration for him
must have changed to cootemp. He
cared nothing for hi party ; his only
thought was nis own advancement, and.
like a!! surh ru n, aooner or .ater, he
rushed I eadloi.g to his own destruction.
Fomker seems to have conducted his
inquiry into tbe ballot box forgery on
thu same principle that the Loud n
rtmtsdid i?s attack up.n l'aroell. I's
editor wanted to secure letters incrim-
lunticg the great Irish leader, sn it sent
for a man of doubtful character, and
told h.oi wha; was needed. In c nurse
of time they were produced, and the
astute editor accepted them as genuine
without a ques ion. Iu the ua,e way,
Foraker told Wood what he wanted
and he got it. You can get letters in
criminating anybody iu any crime if
you are willicg to py for them and
don't care to inquire as to their authen
ticity. Tbe only question to be determined
by the Houe Committee oow is
whether Mr. Toraker :s simply a fool,
or a knave as well- In any case he
deserves ihe former title, and Wood
intimates that he Is worse. His word,
r owe ver, will not go very far, and uns
til Mr. Foraker has been proved a
knave we should give him the beneHt of
the docbt and call him simply a fool.

Tbe actloD of the Democratic Com
mittee of Lawrence county, on Satur
day, in bringing forward the name of
ex-Governor Fatlison suggest a candi
dacy that will arouse a good deal of in
terest in the coming Gubernatorial cam
paign. S i far as is known, some of the
political slates have contained Governor
Pattison's name, and the action of the
Lawrence county Democrats appears to
be their spontaneous declaration in fa
vor of the man whom they consider the
best qualified for he place and the
s'roi gesc candidate for tbe Democracy.
Tfcat poa;ti will certain'y meet
with wide Indorsements, not only
among tbe Democrats of ihe S ate, but
outside or the party lines. Governor
Patrison would posess a strength which
no other candidate could command, of
