When the school-book bill cams up
in the senate the other day, Scuator
Wallace had it amendended so that the
commission iustead of being wholy par
tisan, sectarian and corrupt, the Gov
ernor is required to appoiut an eveu
number of democrats aud republicans,
and the State Superintendent, all of
whom must agree. Aud the books
adopted are to be of the same site and
quality and to cost fifty per csut. less
than the people are uow paying for
them. Should the bill pass the House
and become a law, groat benefits will
result to the people, in the cost of
books alone.

New Party Movement.
Recent movements in the west show
that a new party is brewing. Again
we have evidence in a Chicago des
patch of 6 inst., which says the Advis
ory Committee appointed by the last
meeting of the Illinois State Farmers'
Aisociation to consider the subject of
formiog an independent political par
ty held a meeting at Bloomington,
on sth, at which delegates from fif
ty-two of the 102 counties in the state
were present. The proposition to or
ganize an independent party was al
most unanimously indorsed, and after
a long discussion it was decided to
issue a call for a State Convrntiou t6
promulgate a platform aud nominate
State officers. The Convention is call
ed to meet at Springfield on Wednes
day, the 10th of June Delegates ars
to be chosen in the proportion of one
to every 5,000 voters, and all the in
dustrial classes and organizations are
invited to join in the movement.
A resolution was offered in the con
vention censuring President Grant for
signing the Increase of Salary bill, and
for bis veto of the Currency bill, but
it was voted down by a large majori
ty-
Democratic State Nominations.
We are among those who believe it
better to be defeated with good candi
dates than successful with bad ones.
While bad men remain in office they
are a reproach, and they are an appro
brium afterward. 11l success on the
contrary in a good undertaking is no
f resent dishonor nor future discredit,
t behooves the democracy to remem
ber these things at this time. The
next democratic convention will have
the final determination of two impor
tant matters : first, undec the new
Constitutional provision, who shall be
one of the two judges of the Supreme
Court; next, the moral attitude of the
party, as detei mined by its candi
dates, on the questions that now shake
the very foundations of government.
Let the people therefore proceed with
caution and due deliberation to select
the delegates to the State convention
which has the determination of these
grave matters.— Harritburg Patriot.
The above from the democratic or
gan at the state capital expresses the
sentiments of the REPORTER, often
heretofore declared in our columns,
although it was met with a sneer in
quarters where honesty is only talked
of but never practiced. Every hon
est democrat will call it sound senti
ment. Dieffenbach' spajier the Blooms
burg Columbian .comments as follows
on this matter:
"If the party will act upou the
suggestions made, it will be but
a brief period until it will com
mand an overwhelming majority of
the voters of the state. The people
have lost all confidence in the general
ity of politicians and office seekers, j
and are heartily sick of them. Let'a
party rise above the slough in which
all political bodies were buried during
the excitements and immoralities of
the war and nominate none but men
of established integrity and ability for
office, men who will be faithful to the
best interest of the people in office, and
labor with ability to promote the true
interests of the public, and the party
doing so will crush every thing before
it. But if the alternate success of
parties is to result only iu changing of
one set of pilferers and incompetents
for another, then, indeed is our coun
try in a fearful state of demoraliza
tion and on the broadest possible road
to destruction."
Let convention managers take
heed! If incompetent or worthless,
or any class of inferior nominations
are made, the contest will thereby be
surrendered and the election will pass
off listlessly and as a mere matter of
form. The masses and the local or
ganizations will not struggle for the
success of such. Defeat will be sure.
In 1872 the Democratic covention of
this state set a good example and its
nominations would have been success
ful but for the blunderiug and disgust
ing management of the Presidential
question—counting only legal votes it
was probably successful. Let the
Democracy at least repeat the experi
ment."
"We do not hesitate to endorse the
sentiment of the Patriot that except
proper candidates success is not
desirable. To succeed with others
Would only disgrace and injure the
party. To he successful and retaiul
its results the democracy must show
the country that it can and will gov
ern much better in all re*|rcct* and at
very materially less cost to the tax
payers than its opponents. Unless it
can do this it is no concern what par
ty controls the reins of government.'
"We therefore say to the coining
convention, take heed—nominate the
vet v be-t nu-n of your party as candi
dates, or your action will be in vain.'
France, from all appoaraucee, is
gathering for another war with tier

The sores of the late conflict oetweeu

get her deep humiliation, and will at
tempt to retrieve Iter lost honor.

want it to be one for the whole coun

was that the Southern msmbers voted

of securing the passage of tus bill now

claring general amnesty, aud restoring
pensions to the solders of the war of
1812 who reside in the Southern states.
Grant's friends are on a new tack,
says the Pittsburg Poet, with regard
to Sumner. Neither the President
nor Mr. Fish are able to answer the
accusations made against them as to
Senator Sumner's shameful treatment
at their hands, and now have recourse
to tbraatenings. A special telegram
to the Telegraph of this city givesone
an idea of these new tacties. It is
asserted that Mr. Sumner's mind, in
his last days, was undoubtedly disor
dered, and bis differences with the
Administration grew to be a disease,
until be imagined he had been terribly
wronged, when the truth was both the
President and Secretary Fish thought
kindly of him until he attacked their
motives and endeavored to clog ihe
diplomatic wheel of the government,
by obstructing legislation in the Sen
ate. They then considered it necessary
to displace him. The threat winds up
with the assertion that "the evidence
to sustain the action of the Adminis
tration in reference to Mr. Sumner is
overwhelmingly convincing, and will
produce confusion among thoee who.
litre Senator Schurz, have committed
themselves against the Administration
without knowing the truth, or if they
do, conceal it." This, however, is a
verv thin dodge. Grant and Fish
will hardly be able to convince the
country that Mr. Sumner was crazy.

The tvmplaiiits of that infiueutial
journal are entirely just. Its refer
once to the ladder being kicked away
after elect iocs is, alas, 100 often true.
We have had seme experience of that
sort ourself. Were it necessary at this
time, we might uarue instances, where
before elections we labored for and
extolled candidates even higher, per
haps, then their merits deserved ; vet.
after their success, when they had
priuting or other patrouage to dis

date for whose election we have given
our service*, as a general thing, seem
ed to appreciate what we did by [lay

THE COPARTNERSHIP ACT.
Among the numerous meritorious
bills introduced in the legislature,
says the Clearfield Republican, this
cession by Mr. Wallace, we deeru none
more so than tho bill entitled : "An
act authorizing the formation of part
nership associations iu which the capi
tal and subsidies shall alone be re
sponsible for the debts of the associa
lion, except under certain circum
stances."
The bill contemplates the forma
tion of firms upon the Eugli-h limi
ted liability piao, aud its advocates
claim that it will enable capitalists to
admit their employees to a share of
the profits of their business, based up
on the auiouut of capita! they are able
to subscribe, without involving the
risk of their ruiu in case of failure.
It is also said that its provision.* will
invite capital to Pennsylvania from
abroad. We notice that a large num
ber of leading manufacturers through
out the State are advocating the jas
sage of this measure. The friends of
tho bill claim that a law of this kind
will attract more capital to our State
than any other measure that could be
devised, and that it will open a large
field for skilled and ordinary labor
ers at remunerative wages. As the
law now stands, men of small means
are really deterred from forming asso
ciations of this kind, because in the
event of a failure they are usually the
first to be rendered bankrupt, while
the millionaire, in a great measure,
shifts the responsibility upon some one
else's shoulders, from the fact that
there is no general laic* on our statute
books regulating associations of the
character indicated. We have "wa
gon loads" of special lairs upon the
subject, which require more time to
look up and read than it docs an ar
lizan to lcain his trade or calling.
A PRACTICAL TEMPERANCE
REFORM.
At the last meeting of the Rritish
Association for the Advancement of
Science Mr. I). Carnegie read a paper
on the licensing laws of Sweden and
the Gothenburg public house system.
In Gothenburg, a town of 60,000 in
habitants, the public-houses had for
the last aeven years been conducted
on an entirely new principle and with
such success that a bill called the
Spirituous Liquors (Scotland) bill,
founded on that principle was intro
duced in the last session of Parlia
ment, and would no doubt be renew
ed next year. In 1830, 173,000 stills
deluged Swedeu with a quantity of
spirits calculated at leu gallons per
head. The consequences were fearful,
resulting at last in a reaction which at
length induced the Diet of 18. r >4 to
pass the present licensing laws, the
principal features of which were that
all small stills were abolished, and an
excise duty imposed of Is. 6}d. j*r
gallon. The local authority had the
power of fixing the number of licenses
in each district, which were periodical
ly sold by auction, und the amount
realized was paid to the local treasu
ry, fo the relief of the rates. The ef
fect was that in the rural districts,
comprising seven-eighths of the whole
population, a nmst remarkable reform
was effected in the driuking habits of
the Swedes, the number of licenses be
ing reduced on an average to 1 in 6,-
000 of the rural population, while in
many districts licenses were altogether
prohibited. This had concentrated
the trade iu the towus, where, al
though some improvement was effect
ed, the consumption and trade still
continued on a very large scale. A
committee appointed in 1864 by the
inhabitants of Gothenburg reported
that in order to extend the reform to
the towns it was necessary to reorgan
ize the liquor traffic on un entirely
new principle, viz, no individual,
either as proprietor or manager, un
der a public-house license, should de
rive any private gaiu from the sale of
spirits, thus abolishing all temptations
unduly to extend the consumption.
This principle was immediately car
ried out by an association of seme of
the most respected members of the
community, who formed a limited
liability company to take over ull the
public-house licenses, to conduct the
business solely in the interest of so
briety and morality, and to pay over
the whole profits to the town treasury.
The results had been that the police
cases of drunkenness, which in 1864
were 6.10 per cent., decreased to 2.62
per cent, in 1870. The last two yeara

From thia it was folly expectad that

city's representatives the necessity ol
urging the Diet in Stockholm to adopt
it. The good altrady effected wa*

scheme. Last year the profit banded

private persous twenty-five retail li
censes for one years for .£7,400. The
number of gallons of spirits sold by
the Company was neatly three frer
had, suppoaed to be exceeded by the
sales of the retail sho|t. This was a
fearfully large amount, but a large
proportion was supplied to the coun
try population, of which 170,000 in
that province had only ten licensed
houses. The coustiiuptian of spirits
for all Sweden rather exceeded two
gallons jier head. That of Scotland
was about two gallons. Tbe Compa
ny carried on its largo business with
out any paid-up capital ; an advance
was obtaiud from a bank, and lh hal
auce of interest had never exceeded
£3o at the cud of the year. The
Gothenburg system bad been com
pletely and partially tried in two
thirds of the Swedish towns, ami was
extending to Norway.

MORE OF IT.
Further investigation iuto the con
dition of the Freemnan's Saving Hank
and its branches, shows that it is in
even a worse condition than was at
first supposed. The total liabilities
are giveu at so,ooß,BtH> and its net re
sources at $3,121,008, a deficiency to
begin with of $217,880. The loans

A LEGISLATIVE SCENE.
A most disgraceful scene look place
in the House, at IJarrUburg, on Fri
day, iu which Speaker McCormic and
Representative Ramcy were tbe ac
tive participant*. It culminated in
tbe threat of the S|>eaker to send for
the Sargent at-arms to remove the in
dignant and otfensive Ranter, but the
friends of the latter gentleman, nota
bly Mr. Wolfe, showed such a deter
initiation to resist physical force that
the Speaker weakly dadsted. The
l atriot say#: "The proceedings in
the House, as the session approaches
its close, are marked by the most ran
paut disorder and disregard of rules.
The Speaker pronounce* this or that
measure carried or defeated as suits
bis whim, remonstrance is lost iu up
roar, audible sjicech is impossible, and
only the final vote bv yeas and nays
gives the single opportunity for a
word which is at once discussion and
deciasion."
FrienJ ami Kneniv. —Death is a <>ura
visitant at every home. Rich nud

presence brings to the heart of the
unprepared.
An old Scotch minister lay sorely
ill, aud a neighbor calling upon him
said :
"Do you really think you are 'lying

Looking up calmly, he said :
"Really, friend, I am not auxiout

shall be with God, if I live he will be
with me."
When the great historian Gibbon
was drawing near fho close of his life,

When I look forward all is dark and

THE 11AMIIOO PLANT.
j The be n.boo plant is cultivated almost
everywhere , it is remarkable for its shades
and baautr There are about sixty va
rieties, different in sizes, according to its
genius ; ranging fretn that of a switch to a
big pole, iiieasuringTroiu four to five inches
m diameter It is reared from shoots and
suckers, and. alter the root once clings to
the ground, it thrives and spreads without
turther care or labor. Of these sixty *s
j riet iet, each thrives best in a certain lo
cality. Throughout the phole empire of
China, the bßti!\>oo groves not only embel
lish the gardens of tiie poor, but the vast
, parks of tlie prince* and wealthy
The use to which this stately grass is put
is truly wonderful. The tender shoots ere
cultivated for food like asparsges; the
roots are carved into fantastic imtges of
i men, birds, and monkeys. The tapering
: cuinia are used for all purposes that poles
can be applied to. In carrying, suppeilmg,
propelling and measuring . ly the porter,
i the csrt-entrr end the boatman; for the
| joists of houses and the ribs ot satis, the
shafts of spears and the w allies of hurdles ;
tlie tubes of aqueducts, and tlie handles and
rfbs of umbrellas and fbns The leaves are
tewed tipon r. rdi to make pain desks for
farmers and boatmen, for sails to beats s*
wallas junks, swept into heats to form
manure, and matted into thatches to cover
houses
The bamboo wood is cut into splints and
silvers of various sixes to make into bask
ets and trays of every form and fancy,
' tw i-ted into cables, plaited into awnings
and woven into mats for the bed and fl >ur,
for tho ,*t enerie* of the theatre, for the
refs f boats, and tbe ca*mg of goods.
The shavings are picked into oakum
to be stuffed into mattresses The bamboo
. furnishes the bed for sleeping, and the
couch tor reclining, the chair for sitting,
the chop-Micks for tattr.g. Ihi pipe for
. smoking, the flute for entertaining , a cer
tain to tang before tha doer, and a broom
fo sweep areund it The ferule to govern
'the scheiar, the book he studies nnd the
paper ha writes, all originated from this
wonderful grass Tbe tapering barrels ol
the organ, and the dreadful instrument of
the liclor—one to strike harmony and the
ether to strike dead , the rule te measure
lengths the cup te guage quantities, and
the bucket to draw water , the bellows to
blow the Are, and the battle to retain the
match . tho bird--age and crab-nat, tbo
fish-pela, tl e water-whea! and cave-duct,
wheel-barrow and hand-cart, and a hostt
other things we have no room to crowd,
are the ulilitios te which this tuagniflcsnl
grass is converted, i therefore highly I
recommend this most useful ef grasos to
your consideration. Address of (' Kan

"WHO WROTE THIS?
Here it sotur sound advice, which the
Willmington Del ,) Krrry Krrniny gives
iU readers. It will apply to ait latitude*
and longitudes. "Now and then mistakes
will occur in newspapers, and sometimes
i such mistakes ia items appearing to us of
trivial Importance ara regarded as of great
moment by somo interested psrty. wow
we have a word of advice to those whs
feel aggrieved by such matters. Don't
make feols of yourselves. Don't assume
that we, who prebably never heard of you,
have deliberately sought to injure you, or
that we have become the wiilisg tool of
some enemy of yours to cause you trouble
iilid annoyance. The mest reasonable
assumption concerning our error is that it
it a mistake, as newspaper publishers, like
other basinest men, are not likely to wil
fully and unnecessarily make enemies.
Assuming then that a mistake has been
made, we advise you Is go to en editor as
! one gentleman should go to another, and
courteously pointing it out to him ask that
it be corrected, being prepared, if theniat
' ter is a question of fact, to prove that the
report is inaccurate Any editor who is a
gentleman, and our impression is that they
are mostly gentlemen, will give you a pa
tient and courteous hearing, contradict the
statement if necessary, or explain to you
why he is unable to do so, and should ha
J find lie has wronged you he will, of his
own free will offer you a proper apology.
Hut editors know that their reporters do
not willfully print untruths, and that they
are just as likely to make accurate and
impartial statements as are interested
parties Hence they are net prepared to
ucrept the usunl wholo*ale denunciation
|of a whole report us "a lie from beginning
iioend,' 1 neither being human, does toe
; spectacle of a man trembling with rage,
who, untolding a paper, points to some
apparently innocent paragraph mid de
mands, "Who's the author of that," put
them in a frame of mind for pleasant con
versation. We think that probably enough
I people have asked us that question, or one
of similar import, and that manner, to
form a moderate sized convention, but we
wdl cheerfully engage to keep for life in
victuals and clothes the number who, so
asking it, got it answered. In fart, as a
rule, it is none of the inquirer's business,
and we never reveal the name of one who
gives us information, tn the mest courteous
inquiry, until we find that he willfully be
trayed the trust wo repoied in him and
deceived us into stating an untruth. But
to the blustering, insolent demand for re
traction, furnishing the name of tho author,
accompanied by threat* of legal preceod
ings or personal violence we have no other
answer than a counter demand for the
speediest practicable departure of tho an
gry interviewer from our office Wo say
tins less with a view to any recent occur
rence, than bv way of preventing such oc
currences in future. Tea courteous inqui
ry we are ever ready te make a courteous
response, and are equally ready to cor
rect any mistake we have made, or, so far
as possible, right any wrong we may do,
and we think in this rospect we do not
greatly differ frepi others, hence we oncp
more advise tliuse who desire corrections
to bt mnde in any respectable newspaper :
Don't assume that the errors are purpose
lv made, state yeur griovance like a gen
tleman, and don't make an attempt to
play the bully.
