Such is an item in the Clinton Republican, and wo bog leave to say to our neighbor that tho democrats made no such fool ish promise to the common laborer, besides, our party is uot in power, we onlv have swept the lower house, the senate and executive being in our way vet, and when these are cleane i out, then, and then only, dare you io. k for better thiugs than we have under radical rule. People must not be led into the false belief that the democrats are ruling uow by virtue of their re cent victories; there must be another sweep before we can fdeft any real good. ♦ ♦ ♦ Tho Patriot talks right, wheu i savs : None but the bravo deserve the lair, aud uone but the workers in the party deserve the offices Away with your parlor politicians, your dilet tante, kid-gloved, blue blooded pre tenders to 'statesmanship who wait until the active, realous and uutiring work of others wins the battle and then are in at the death to claim the victor's wreath. They are about now. bowing aud scraping aud smirking aud siuiliug, busy iu puffing tbsirown claims to greatness and .lisparaging and vilifying those who fought iu the thickest of the fight and who happen to stand in the way of their ambitiou. No party cau afford to set aside its workers and give its offices and honors to such creatures. We will see what wo will see. The recent radical rout has brought out a promise from them on the one hand, to use the present session of congress —which is their last, auJ has ninety daysduration—to do some astonishing ly good things for the country, and like a well-whipped urchin, who bad misbehaved, they promise now to be good boys, and "not do it agaiD." On the other hand there is prospect for a little unpleasantness amuDg theiu —be- tween Grant and his office holders, and the radical congress and its backers; Grant says he is not responsible for the terrible defeat, and that it is ail ow ing to the blunders made 5y congress. The radical congressmen throw the cause upon Grant, his extravagance, nepotism, imbecility, and the corrup tions of the men under him. Viewing this thing impartiallyand from an out side standpoint, we think they are on ly telling the truth upon each other. Grant's charges against the radical congress are true —for it did nothing but blunder all along, and the char ges of the congress party against the White-house crew are also well-found - ed, for his administration has all the sins upon its back charged above, and a vast deal more. Congress and the administration have been doing bad ly, very badly, and the country in tends the late defeat as a rebuke to both. Now then, when they promise to do better things in the three months ses sion that yet remains to them, it is equivalent to an admission that iu the last fourteen years they have willful ly refused to do what was right and what was their sacred duty, and hence their guilt is all the deeper. Four teen years they havo tormented the country, brought upon it ruin and disaster, and now promise to fix it ail right in a short session of three months ! and then only because they were whipped into it, and not of their own free will. Had the people continued to endorse them at the polls, the same blunders and wrongs would have gone on for the next fourteen years, bad it been possible for the country to survive their rule any longer. The next three months will show their incompetency as much as have the years of the past. They have dragged the country into the mire, and are unable to extricate it. It will need a new set of men to do it. We learn from the Bellefonte pa pers of last week that there is some talk of having a new paper in that place. Can the Republican tell "why'? Anything rotten in Den mark that needs an honest and up right organ to purify it, and to op pose rings and office seekers, eh ? e can't put this question to the "other side of the house," upon the principle in law that the culprit can not be made to testify against him self. There are those now pretending to rejoice over the recent democratic vic tories who were plotting before the election to defeat the party. This re minds us of the fight the woman had with the bear, and when she had kill ed bruin, the old man sneaked out from his hiding place, telling the folks, "We did it." THE NEW YORK STRIKES. The Tribune of 21 says ; The three strikes in this city are all virtual failures. For every man who quits work there are ten idle ones ea ger to take his place at any sort of wages. It may be some days yet be fore the strikers clearly see the mis takes into which they have been led by blind leaders. But then it may be found that the vacant places are per manently filled. We have a hard winter before us, with less to encour age employers than in any season for the past ten or twelve years. Every trade is full of unemployed workmen. There are two idle men standing ready and anxous to take every place that shall be made vacant, and the ques tion with thousands is not just how high wages they can get, but whether they can get any wages at all. En plovers aro often in an equally hard case, and the question with them is ti.it whether they .an afford to pay the present wages, but whether they can afford 'to pay any wages. To refuse offered work and inaugurate strikes in such a season is madness. Reduction of (ho Stole Hold. The state of Pennsylvania now lev ies indirect taxes for state purposes amounting to seven millions of dol* lars* Out of this sum the nee.; arv ! appropriations in round figures are for Interest on debt $ 1 ..">OO,OOO Common schools 1,(100,000 Soldier's orphan schools.... 400,000 Miscellaneous expenses of government 2,000,000 $4,000,000 This leaves a balance in the treas ury to he applied to the centennial ap propriatiop and tho reducliou of the slate debt of $2,100,000. The cent, us uial appropriation of one million dol lars cannot be paid ill larger amounts than three hundred and titty thousand dollars per year. At tho pr.n-iil rati of taxation and expenditure times fore there would he in the stale it. us ury a million and three quarters ot dollars applicable to the payment of the principle of the state debt, lib* estimate will be found to be rot far out of the way being based . n the present extravagant rate of exp.ndi lure under republican management. The point to which we wish to di rect attention is the unnecessarily large amount applied to the payment of the principal of the state debt, lu such pinching times as the taxpayer* of Peusylvauia are now experiencing why should ihev I e called uihju to pay a million and a half of dollars more than is required yearly tor th pur pose ? The people of the state and the stale itself are integral. M hat is gained by the state in interest money cut it! by the payment . u the principal of the public debt is lost to individual taxpayers, and more also, for the money is worth a larg.r per cent, per annum to taxpayer* than the state pays or saves. We throw aside as unworthy ar gument the electioneering quibble that the people pay no state tax.s be cause the state collects its taxes through intermediary agencies. l.verv dollar of the seven millions in one shape or another coaus out ot the people of Peusylvauia. We suspect thai investigation would demonstrate that our indirect system allows an undue percentage . f the tax to be wrenched front the earnings of labor. But layiug aside all side questions, what defense is there for the policy o! taking up ouf bouds before they art due? Two things are accomplished by this kind of financial management, '.j It affords scope for demagogical ap ' peals to tho people in consequence of a supposed fiuancial ability con nected with paying money solemnly appropriated to the use of the sinking funtl twenty years ago auel which can not bo honestly applied to any other purpose; and keeps a largo balance in the state treasury. The revenue* originally appropria ted to the siuking fund were at that time only adequate to the pavnnnl o! the interest on the debt and three or four hundred thousand dollars yearly of the principal. But tluse source of revenue have so swelled in aggre gate that we are rapidly reducing the debt when we can ill afford to .-jars the money. Why would it not be wise to either repeal some of the siuk ing fund taxes or reduce them all equitably ? This is the true way to cut down ? he treasury balance and strike at one source of corruptions in state affairs. This policy accompanied by proper reductionsofappropriations, and an economy of expenditure such as the financial state of the country demands, would reduce the aggregate of taxation by two millions of dollars. A reduction of that amount would be no inconsiderable benefit to the peo ple at large who are entitled to that thrift in state affairs which they are obliged to excraise in their private af fairs. WHAT CAMERON THINKS OF IT. A Washington dispatch of 11th, says : Senator Simon Cameron is in town. He the Republican party is to blame for the recent Dem ocratic victory. The party as a whole was too sure of success and bragged too much of its perfect organization and the inability of any outside party to break up that organization. The Senator denies with considerable force the truth of President Grant's state ment that Congress was wholly re sponsible for this great disaster to the Republican party, and thinks, if the Preaideut is correctly reported, he is entirely wrong in his assertion. The Seuator, in alluding to the defeat of his party, says that he does not know what Congress will do at its next ses sion to retrieve the errors of the past, but is sorely afraid that the party next session may commit worse errors than ever before. Pennsylvania, be be lieves, will get its Republican Govern or back again at the next election, and in the next Presidential contest he believes the Stato will come up to her usual Republicau majorities. SEVENTY THOUSAND PEOPLE OUT OF EMPLOYMENT IN NEW YORK—ST. JOHNS GUILD APPEAL FOR AID. At least seventy thousand people are out of employment in this city. Iu many of the poorer quarters whole families are without the barest neces saries of life, and in others they sub sist wholly upon the charity of neigh bors, themselves illy provided ogainst the long seige that famine will lav at their doors, or upon a credit from the grocer they cannot long hope to main tain. While the men of these families are searching hopelessly for employ ment, the women are being incessant ly dunned for grocers' and butchers' bills and the landlords for rent. Hun dreds gather at the Guild doors daily, clamoring for food, and to-day the treasury of the Guild, even to the re serve fund, is exhausted. An urgent appeal for aid is made by the volun teers, who are able to care for all the helpless ones in the city if they can on ly receive an instant and hearty sup port from those who have food, cloth ing, aud money to give and are ger. efous. The volunteers of St. John's Guilt! have councils, sewing societies, and physicians in every ward. They are ready to open (rent and attend ance free) six relief offices in different and widely separated districts. They jgive prepared food to those who have no home or facilities for cooking. They can visit every poor family from the Lattery to the Harlem River in side of twenty-four hours. They do not ask any public fund one cent for salaries or office rent. They arc prompt, efficient, and discriminating in discharging their public trust. The necessities arc urgent and demand im mediate action.

According to a sta tistical authority, the eleven leading commercial nation* of the globe —uamelv, (!reat Britain, United States, France, Ciermany, Belgium, Austria, Russia, Italy, Spain, tin Netherlands, and Sweden—have near ly doubled their commerce in less than two decades.

The s.iuic au thority observes that, while these rep reseutative uati.ns have b.en iuereas ing in population faster than the av erage of the world, the growth of ac cumulation ha- exceeded it, but attri buted this growth mainly to the appli cation >f steam to machinery in vari ous forms, and facilitated the division of labor, and in numerous other ways has made each laborer stand for a greatly eochaacid amount hold the great In ten atioual Catholic Congress in London, with the object of maintaining the doctrine ofthel'a jel infallibility, rcaserting the Cope's right to temporal as well as spiritual nowerjtaud proclaiming it the bouuden duty of all Christians to return to al legiance to Konto. It is stated this determination is the result of direct instructions from the Vatican, ami some of the highest dignitaries of the Church will attend the Congress.

The reign of lawlessness in the coal regions appears to be continually growing worse, caused perhaps by the fact that most of the perpetrator* of the assaults and murders escape cap* tureand punisnment. At Carbondale on Saturday night or Sunday morn* ing last two men were murdered and three severely assaulted, one of whom will probably die.
