The Dwaocrsry of York county, Venn
y Ivaoia, in their eoaventiou manifest e
dear understanding of fact* and an abil
*ty to udiw' them in good English
ehirh aw will worthy of admiratior.
for iMtanw:
"JC, refrerf. That Samuel J. Tilden, hav
ing received a large majority of the pop
a'of. and a large majority of the elector
al Trre . r 'he United Sretaa. was at the
late election lawfully eboeeu President,
and that an-" condonation of the fraud by
which <lif d*foa'#d candidate mow holds
the office voold be n abandonment of
the right of government by the people
and for tho people."
Th.saeye whet ia now thought by hon
est men of every party. l.et there be
ao political forgiveness for the crime of
Hayes and hie confederates.
The Philadelphia merchant! are now
"striking" for the county of Allegheny,
people of which eo coolly lookod en
when the mob of strikers destroyed
other people's property. Committee* of
tho board of directors of the Pennsyl
vania railroad company and of the Mar
itime exchange had a consultation a fow
days ago, relative to the adjustment of
loases incurred at Pittaburg during tho
late strike. An agreement was arrived
at by which suite willbebrought agaiuat
Allegheny county and it was nnder
stood that after the necessary data shall
be prepared the claims of merchants
will bo prosecuted prior to theee of the
railroad company, who will aeaist the
buaiuera community in tho *uita. State
ment* are now being prepared to show
tha at. ant of lose sustained by mer
chants by the destruction and dele*
oftheir goods in transit.
The moat refreshing story we have
read in those times, when tha main con
cam i* to know how to get something
to est. not whore yon get the best equare
meal ,is the little item balow. of a Bteet
-,ng of tramp*, in which one killed the
other, because they could not agree as
to which city furnished the best grub.
Old Orchard Beach, Mo., August 20.
Yesterday afternoon four tramps, who
i ere loafing about the railroad station,
barrelled as to which]city in ths United
-taie* was the beet for tramp# to obtain
inure meals. Carles Miller expresa
an opinion In favor of New Orleans.
> rich no enraged Aleck Patterson, who
r-ontenJed for Boston, that lie drew a
knife and p'unged it into Miller's back,
leartl.: right shoulder-blade, inflicting
a revere if not fatal injury. All of the
tramps were immediately arrested.
We would advise real tramps to keep
•a settling this question jnat in the
above wyle.
Garfield waa in Washington a day or
.wo and left for home in disgust. He

e"Lost Cause," which ia the Kepubli

Drawing pay for rations for many
more tudiaas than exist, is an old g*me,
and not played out yet. The readsr* of
the R®f jrtcr will remember how a /*
year# ago. the govarr.ment agents for
the Teton Sioux swindled the govern
ment >nt of hundreds of thousands ot
dollars, drawing pay for indians thataev-
T were born. Again,now, we learn from
Washington *h#t if the number of rations
issued to the Indians, as reported to the
Indian Bnreau.be trne, there are more
indians in the United States to-day than
there were when America was discov
ered. Assoch in not the fact, it sag

The opium trade with Chine, from
which England reaps such monstrous
revenues and a pernicious business
which John Bull wickedly forced upon
he Celestials at the cannon's month, to
he everlasting disgrace and shame of
England, in likely to meet with a check
if edict frr m the Chinese government is
of any avail. Opium has been the bane
of Chinvraen for a century—far worse
in ita effects than whisky.
The United States Minister to China
has transmitted to the Department o:
State i> copy of an edict iasued by the
Imperial Government against the use of
opium, on the representation of the
Minister of China in London that it*
•ree was bringing destruction upon the
hineee people. From this edict it ap
ears that notwithstanding the strict
4ws forbidding the use of opium by the
fficials, gentry and soldiers, its nse is
{lending day by day, and its terrible
write are extending in the same ratio.
-Tie United State# Minister thinks that
i ;oroua efforts might limit the cultiva
tion of the poppy in China which is in
< fusing rapidly, and the use of tb* drug
by officials, gentry and soldiera, but
do<-* not think that more than this need
h' expected. In addition to the home
production, opium is imported into
China to trie annual value of over $40,-
000,000, principally from British India.
More than f1,000,000 is annually import
- ' in California for the use of the
dnesa in that State.
frunky, h'oyea and Sehell—the demo

I :CK HAVEN NATIONAL BANK.
A meeting of the atockholdera of the
jck Haven National Bank waa held at
hankie; houae in Lock Haven.
August 21at. John Sanderson, Eaq., of
nraey Share, area elected Chairman, and
oarlea Corse, k>q~ Secretary. The
resident of the Bank made a statement
f ita condition, and the canee* that led
• the suspension, which he stated grew

aich took from it upwarda of SIOO,OOO,
t this waa followed by an unnanai
nber of lailurea among the busiuets

ank a large amount of suspended paper,
rendering it unable to afford ita usual
wcommodationa to ita depositors. And
hia (act, with continued failures, and
iue recent disturbed condition of the
-xjuatry, created each a distrust that a
ran was made upon the bank, under the
>reaaure of which the Directors deemed
t beet to suspend payment and go into
with the intantion of reor
nizing after a sufficient amount of its
■seta were collected to pay its liabili

From a report made by the Directors,
tr a full and careful examination of

THE STATE TICKET.
The democratic state convention,
which assembled at Harriabttrf, last
Wednesday, ntndo good nominations
and a platform that has food planks in
it.
Trunkav, for Supreme Judge; Noyts,
for State Treasurer, and Scliell for And.
General, are names that will command
respect throughout the commonwealth
There ia no ring smell about this ticket
—tho democracy in the last three or fonr
years gave unmistakable indication toat
ring* and roosters *eie to have no
countenance whatever in it* ranks.
We now go into the campaign for the
November election with clean hands,
pore candidates and n sound platform—
and wc moan to carry Pennsylvania.
The enemy haa split from the effects
of its preaideutisl steal, end is totally
demoralised ~tire tbievea have fallen
ont. end honest men a ill now get their
dues. Trunkey, Noyes and Schell sill
be triumphantly elected, and a new day
of honest government will be inaugura
ted in the Keystone state.
In another column we give the main
features of the proceedings of the con
vention, and the platform in full, "1 he
convention was harmonious throughout
and the best feeling prevailed.
THE COM MLS ISM THE OHIO EE'
T [MI I CASS HLEDGE THEM
SEL YES IV.
I. By resolution in their Stat* l\>o
ventiva the Ohio Republicans declare
that "Congress should exert it* authori
ty over all national highways of trade,
bv preserving and enforcing uch rea
sonable regulations as will tend to pro
mote nafetv of travel." Now the New
York Central Railroad, with ita Wee
tern connections, is a national highway.
What exercise of the authority of Con
gress could promote safety of travel over
it? No Government commission could
run the road more safely than its expe
rienced and interested owners do. Sure
lv the Ohio Republicans do not mean to
stultify themselves by recommending
that the United States should remodel
the time tables of the New York Central,
and the rules and regulation* which
goven the movement of its trains and
the discipline of its men. But whet
"reasonable regulations" by Congress to
promote safety of travel do they recom
mend? Manifestly, regulation# of dis
putes between the administration of the
road and its employees, which shall pro
mote safetv of travel by preventing
strikes. And how will they prevent
strikes? Why.by conceding demands.
That is precisely what the resolution
means. It cannot mean anything else.
No party in this country lis# ever be
fore approached the Communism of the
recommendation that C'ougress should
appoint commissioner* to settle conflicts
about wages between State corporations
and their employees. Congress might
as well fix the price of bread and meat
in the principal cities of tho Union, and
determine the profits merchants shall
make on their goods. The proposition
is thoroughly unsound and unterly dis
graceful.
Congress has no direct authority over
any railroad which it did not itself cre
ate bv charter. Over railroad* of Fed
sral birth it cannot exercise authority
which would be destructive of the pur
poses for which they were created. Rail
roads would be destroyed by the opera
tion of a political machine, controlled
by politicians, themselves ruled by vo
ters, having the power at any moment to
raise wage*, shorten time of labor, and
make soft service. The very institution
of such a commission would relax tl.e
discipline of every railroad in the Uni*
ted States. Its operation would be a
standing menace. It would put the Gov
ernment in antagonism to the railroads.
Iu pestilent interference would every
where breed hit#, strife, mischief, and
war.
11. The Ohio Repoblicans also resolve
that Congress ought to make regulations
to "secure fair returns for the capital in
vested" in the national highways of
trad*. There are 811 railroads in the
United States. I-aat year only 198 of
them earned dividends, and this year
not 150 will pay a farthing. Do the-#
Communist Republicans propose to take
out of the national Treasury money to
give dividends to the owners of the 815
non-paying reads 7 Certainly not.
What, then, do they mean by "fair re*
turns for the capital invested T' They
mean dividends so small as to make
.sure of a fund to satisfy the demands of
labor. Thev mean to delude the work
ingmen of the United States by prom
ising to establish in the case of railroad
investment# the general principle that
all profits may be limited by law. Tbey
promise Federal legislation, which, if
logically extended, would require the
Government to fix for the whole nation
the prices of food, fuel, clothing, and
house rent This bid for votes made by
the Communist Republicans of Ohio has
no precedent since tha French revolu
tion. It snonld destroy Hayes, Mat
thews, West, and Sherman, and burv the
Republican party of Ohio out of sight.
111. Ths Ohio Republican* alto
pledge themselves to have the Federal
Government interfere with the railroads
to prevent mismanagement, improper
discriminations, and the aagradixement
of officials at the expense oistock holders
and shippers and employees. Pasting
over the ghastly juke of preventing rail
road mismanagement by agencies which
consummated Belknap's and Robeson's
frauds, which fattened on the corruption
funds of the Credit Mobilier and the Pa
cific Mail Steamship Company, and grew
rich out of Fraudulent Poet Office cons
tracts and robberies in the Indian Bu
reau— paaaing ovtr this and omitting
comment on the nnconstitntionality of
interference by Federal authority with
the management of State corporations,
we, too, advocate a correction of the
abuses which, on many lines of railroad,
aggrandize officials at the expense of
Railroad directors and
managers are trustees strictly. It should
be felony for them to make a profit out
oftheir trusts, beyond their salaries and
the dividends on their stock. Owner
ship by officers of railroads in while
lines, bine lines, empire lines, oil lines,
Wagnsr parlor cars, Pullman sleeping
cars, refrigerator cars, and the whole
brood of transportation tbisvery, should
be punished by law. Every dollar that
the road bed and locomotives of a rail
road can possibly earn belong* to the
stockholders. The inside ring* arc rob
ber*. Every rent tbey have earned from
the beginning belongs almost wholly to
stockholders. But Congress cannot
touch these thieves, except on railroads
created by Federal charters. Krrp tub

waa now escorted to the chair and was
received with great cheering. After re
turning his thanke for the comtdinient
paid him and congratulating the Con
vention that every district in the State
wa* fully represented, Mr. Stenger
said:
There is one strikingpeculiaritvabout
the Democratic party. It never dies be
cause ita principle* are the principles of
the Constitution. It ha* been defeated,
laid out for dead and defrauded, [yells]
yet our opponents must uke notice that
while the earth lasts the Democratic,
perty will not cease to exist. [Tremen
dous cheering.] Defrauded, did I say 7
Yea, defrauded, for 1 and yon are not
and cannot be unmindful of the fact that
the seat of Washington and Jefferson is
filled by a man who was rejected by a
quarter of a million of the American vo
ter*, by a majority of the State# and by
a majority or the Electoral votes. [Ap
planse and cries of that's so, give it to
htm.] Still the Democratic policy has
been vindicated most marvelously by
the acts of the Hayes administration in
the matter of reform and economy in the
public expenditures. Sixty million*
nave been saved by the righteous and
determined course of tho Democratic
House elected in 1874. For that re
trenchment we were denounced by the
Republican party. Not one of their
newspaper* nor one of their public men
but said we were cripplin| the Govern
ment and were cruel to iu employees.
What do we now find? Only the other
day wo saw HecreUry Sherruan, while
speaking for tho Hayes Administration
in Ohio, claiming credit for dismissing
from the public service one thousand
employees, whom they were compelled
to dismiss by the action of the I)emo-1
cratic Congress. [Tremendous cheer
ing] Another point of the P>emocratir
policy has been to remove the Federal
soldiers from intervention in the affairs
of the Southern States, as a sure means
of restoring peace and prosperity. So
the Democratic party stood firm as a
stone wall against the army sUying in
the South unless a provision waa incor
porated in the army appropriation bill
that it should not be used to bolster up
the corrupt and usurping State govern
ment* in that section. On this proposi
tion the Democrats of the Senate and
House were a unit. Now all over the]
country the friends of the Hayes admin- J
istrmtion are praising the changes and
gloryfying because Hayes has moved the |
troops and given peace and quiet to the
South. [Tremendous shouting, dele-1
gates waving their hats and crying,
"That's true; that's the talk."] This
waa another case of claiming credit for]
what the Democrats hare done ; anoth- ]
er instance of enforced good government. I
[Laeghter and cheering.] 1 need not
ask you, gentlemen, for harmony, con-|
dilation and good order, for the Demo
cratic party is the party of law and or
der, and in all the history of the world
there baa been no grander spectacle than
that #x pressed by the Democratic party
last March in quietly submitting, out of
their love of country and'her institu
tions, to the most monstrous outrage and
uaurpation that ever disgraced American
history. The act of the Electoral Com
mission in thrusting upon the country a
fraudulent President is a foul stain on
our bouor that all the sweet rains of
heaven can never wash out.

GIGANTIC FORGRiUKS.
Capture of a Dangerous Band of
Swiudler*.
Chicago. August IS.—On# of the must
stupendous forgery cases of lalo brought
before tho public Las just developed iueli
bare, it appears thai about lea days
ago Mr. Austin and anatber New York
detective arrived in Chicago and began
working up a esse, and they were assisted
by local officials. Their operations srsre
kept very quiet, but on Wednesday the
rale ha 1 so far develcprd itself that It be
came necessary to take active end public
steps, and accordingly warrants were
sworn out before a justice of the peer# for
the airest of three men whose names. It
now transpires, are Nelson A. Geaner, E
T Henderson and E B. Weston. Two ol
these men were arretted at tbe Sherman
bouse last night and by a eons'abla taken
to the Grand Pacific hotel, where they
, were held in the rooms occcupiad by tbe
i New York officers. Oa being searched
| SS&,QOOia money was L und on their per
sons, and this was deposited ia tba aa'a ol
; tbe hotel.
It is alleged that these men are member*!
' of ore of the largest sad boldest gangs ol
forgers that bare ever operated In ths
country, and tbat their operations hsvej
ramifisd to nearly tvery part of the Uni-J
tod States. So successful have they Peer
that they are said to have reaped more
than $400,0(0 by raising bank checks
and forgeries during the year just past
Gainer, it is said, was, until quite recaat
< lj. paymaster In lbs army and stationed
|in the west. The chief operator of the
whols business is said to be a banker or
jbank clerk in New York city. Tba oper
ators of the gang bava been carried on by
one or two of them locating in soma town
and engaging in business until they had
established a reputation eommercially and
financially. Then, aftc. an exchange ol
genuine checks and drafts, and the secur
ing thereby ot signatures, they wauld re
sort to falsa commercial paper and ths
raising of small amounts on genuine ex
change by use of chemicals, Ac.
Two *( tbe men who were srrested hsre
recently, went through Burlington, lowe.
for large sums, and then came to Chicago
to follow up the swindling schemes. An
other of tbe party bat made Lit headquer
tors at Minneapolis, Minn., and it is said,
succeeded in capturing $40,000 from the
LakaCily National bank, at Laka City,
Minn. This man left Minneapolis yes
terday on a Mississippi eteamer bound
down rivar. Another, a man known a
Col. Cross, was arrested in St. Louis to
night, while still another of ths oporalort
was raptured in Michigan. The thrne
men who were arrested here are charged
among other crimes, with passing a forged
check on the banking house of Window.
Lanier A Co, of New York, to the
amount of $39,948.76. It Is also charged
tbat ho raised a draft on a Milwaukee
bank for $460 t04,G00; tbat they got near
ly $6,000 out of the Third National bank
here, and tbat they passed a raisad check
drawn by the New York lifo iasurance
company.
