Bellefonte. very frequently, has two and
even three names npon the ticket for
the best offices. It occasionally happens
that a township gets two—a large and a
small one. but this has not been frequent.
We know it is often alleged that because
a township has a candidate upon the
ticket, it cuts off the chances of other
candidates for other offices from said
township, for the time. Net we never
knew this objection to be made when
this happened to be the case with
Bellefonte. Such a policy works un
justly to the townships on this side,
which are few but large. That 200 cr
3<X> hnndred democratic voters in Penn,
or Potter, or Gregg, or llaines, or Miles,
or Ferguson, should not have as many
chances in a division of the offices as
the number of democrats in a half
dozen of the small townships, is not
logical. We favor the best men without
regard to any such objection, of course
all things being even, we would favor
distributing offices aroand fairly as
possible when the proper individuals
are offered for the places.
Under the heading, "The War John
Sherman Puts It," the Sun says there is
something epigrammatic in the way
Mr.John Sherman. Secretary of the
Treasury and brother of Gen. William
Tecumseh Sherman, describes the ad
ministration of Gen. Grant in Louisiana.
He says it reads like a history of hell.
This is strong language ; bat Mr. Sher
man profesee to hare made himself
familiar with the subject, and he was a
supporter of Grant.
It is proposed to re-elect Gen. Grant.
Since he went ont of office he has spent
his time courting honors from the mon
archical (rovernments of the Old World,
ile baa been studying those Govern
ments. There is no reason to expect
that, if reelected, he would make an
Administration anywise different from
what he made before, unless it should
be more monarchical. Grant was par
ticularly felt in Louisiana, and there his
friend Sherman tells us that the histo
ry of Lis rule reads like a history of
hell.
All persons in faTor of converting this
country into a pandemonium will sup
port Gen. Grant for reelection.
An English newspaper, noting the
faci that Pennsylvania anthracite coal
has been introduced in Italy, selling for
$7 72 per ton, and yielding equally good
Jesuits to iron founders who use it as
English coke, which costs them fll 58

will probably supersede the use of coke.

ports. The English journal adds, "per
haps at some future day the Americans
will be good enough to try the experi
ment of supplying the British house
holder with coal fit for domestic con
sumption at a reasonable cost. Our own
coal merchants have hardly succeeded
in their interpriee."
From this account it seems our an
thracite coal can be taken to Italy
and sold for about the same as it coets
here in Pennsvally and we are not a
day's journey from the mines, by rail,
and this is evidence that it isjjsold too
high here.
A greenback orator in West Virginia
proposes that the General Government
shall iseue greenbacks to be lent to the
States at 1 per cent.; the States are to
lend the mony to the coanties at 2 per
cent., and the counties to the people at
3 per cent. By this simple and ingeni
ous process, the money originally cost
ing the GovernmenOnotbing more than
the cost of production, the national,
State and county governments will be
able to carry themselves on without
taxation, being supported by the profits
of their loans. It only remains for the
people to lend it to each other at 4 per
cent., and then the whole problem of
prosperity will be solved, nobody will
nave any taxes to pay and every body
will have an independent income with
out having to work for it.
The increased dependency of the
country on foreign supplies of food is
commented upon as follows:
"The total value of imports of merch
andise into this country was last year
£394,320,000, of which nearly £165,000,-
000, or 4J per cent., was due to importers
of articles of consumption retained for
home use."
It is reported by the treasury that the
remaining $01,000,000 bonds of the art
of March 3.1805, coneols of 18C5 (0 per
cent.) will De called in during the pres
ent year.
Mary Medill, a comely white girl of

\ PATTERSON AND THE PRESI
DENT.
Washington, July 31.—Senator Patter
son, of South Carolina will leave Wash
ington to-morrow for another jaunt into
the country. A few days since he call
ed upon the President. Mr. Hayes re
ceived him. as he does all callers, verv
cordially. The conversation turned
naturally on South Carolina polities.
Patterson remarked that he was sur
prised to learn that the President had
psrdoned so many Ku-Klux prisoners,
moonshiners, Ac., and sarcastically sug
gested that it would he a good idea to
pardon everybody in tlie State who had
committeed outrages on the Republican
party. The President mildly observed
that he thought his use ofthe pardoning,
power had produced good feeling
throughout South Carolina. "Yes," said
Patterson, "I understand that the next
Republican State Convention will in
, dorse Governor Hampton." "So?" in
terrupted Mr. Hayes. "Yes," continued
Patterson, "thero is no doubt of it.
Kainey and Small have been roped into
the affair, and they think they will he
re-elected to Congress. Why, they will
be beaten by ten thousand majority
each. If I should go down to South
Carolina I'll bet the niggers wouldn't
indorse Hampton." "All, I see," the
President thoughtfully replied. Then
after a slight pause: "Why don't you
go f" Mr. Patterson immediately began
to talk about the case of Atuos I.add,
the man killed by the revenue official.
Gilmore's Yankee-Poodle brass band
which was to astonish all Europe, espe
cially on the continent where they know
so little of music, lias broken down com
pletely in Paris, and its memtiers are
waiting for money to return home. The
band was much ridiculed in Paris. The
material Gilmore had along with him
was good enough for Boston or Albany,
or for a popular concert in New York,
but it was nothing at the Exhibition.
There were military bands giving free
.concerts in every park in Paris tbatbpat
the Americans out and out. There was
the splendid orchestra of 120 pieces
from the Theatre of La Kcala at Milan.
Thev drew immense throngs, and yet
although the municipal authorities of
Milan gave them 00,000 fraoe* to defray
their expenses, they made a loaiag seu
son of it. There was another powerful,
orchestra of 120 pieces from Turin un-l
der Carl Pedrotte. A correspondent savs
it was lucky the band didn't go to Ger
many, "for they would have fared worse
there, if possible, than in Paris. What
could they expect to do at live france

the farmers to return to the early fa-h
--um of hand labor, it shows that in the

the agricultural class increased fifty |*<r

tu tit. succeeding ten years thirty jht
cent., which is thirteeu per cent, in ex
cesa of ita share of the gain of the whole
country. The fallacy of the theory that
labor-saving machines are destructive
of labor is shown by this increase,
which took place during a p-riod the
mo-t prolific in inventions for the sav
ing or labor the world has ever know n,
and by the additional fuel that the num
ber of hands in manufactories more than
doubled in the same two decades. The
Scientific Vmerican also cites the shoe
trade and cotton manufacture. Twenty
years ago every shoe was made by hand
and now eighty-five per cent are made
by labor-saving apparatus ; still, now the

are c uistant, and even in tne extreme
case of a temporary disturbance of wages
the ultimate result is invariably an in

THE SNYDEVCO. MURDER.
Lait week the tlartling anneuncement
wa* mtii* that a confeion w* made re
vealing the murder*** of I,ha Kintsler
family. The fact* *o far a* we have hen (
able to learn are about a* follow* : A girl
named Sarah Hartley lived with Emanuel
Kddinger and kept hou*e for him at the
time of the murder. Kddinger and one or
two other* w.ta rr*ted for the murder,
but for want of evidence a*.**
during the winter tome time. A fterward*|
Eddingc-r, Jordon and another were ar
retted for tealmg bee*, and were convict
ed and **nt to the penitentiary at May
tarra of court Since then thi* girl be
came unesig kfco.Vt the murder and ba*
made a conferiion, implicating four men,
herelf and another woman. Themurder-i
or*, a* *ho lay*, were lirael Erb, Uriah
Moycr, Jonathan Moyer and hi* wife, and
Emanuel Kddinger and herself. It ap
pears the intention first was not to murder
but only rob; but as the chloroform
would not operate a* desirej, murder was
retorted to. The Moyer* are eoutiot, and,
it i* stated that the one went along very
reluctantly but wa* coaxed into the mur
der by Uriah who had a note coming due
in bank and was desperately bard up for
money. We have not learned bow much
money they got. lirael Krb and Uriah
Moycr have been arrestod and aro in jail;
and Sarah Hartley i* alto in Jail, probably
retained only at a witness and also to pro
tect her from violence, a* it it reported
that an attack bad been made at night on'
the house where she stayed. John Moyer
and wifo moved to Kansas since the mur
der, and will of course be arrested and
brought hither for trial if the confession
'proves to be worthy of rvgard. The rela
tives of the murderer* are doing their best
to damage tho reputation of Mis* Hartley,
but it is stated that the story the tell* is
straight and never varies, and the marked
trees and place* where (he said the money
had been concealed have ben cor
rect as she stated, so that thero are corrob
orating circumstance! that willaustain her
confession. Tho indications are that our
next sheriff will have *n interesting but
painful job to perform by hanging four,

EDUCATING iTpH MUCH,
l'rof. Monier Williams, In hi* book on
r "Medern India and the Indiana," firm
■ a hint in regard to popular education "lhat
we in the United State* might take, If it
, be not too late. lie caution* against too
-(iuu-.li education, aa tending to render
i young mon unwilitug, if vo* to pur-
I uc the trade* of their fathera. lie hold*
that offering to all children an advanced
r education tempt* them to eek their liveli
i hood by ome other than manuel employ*
i menu, and *o disturbs the working of the
I natural law of supply and demand. Tou
' force upon 100 labor pjafket a boat of ed
ucated men for whom thera is nothing to
> do, and you deprive the country of work
• men greatly needed.
i In thi* country we see the influence of
' thi* ayitem in auch reault*. Our public
achool* now give to the children of the
1 poor, ?cd to the great middle claaa, an ed*
ucatien teat iidWv,Cl ornamental and
j many other branche*. Children who have
had a courre of leaion* in theae studies are
not willing to ge from school to making
baaketa, or brogant. And they can find
nothing to do in tba line of buaineaa for
which they are now fitted. They want aq
uation* in stores, bank*, or profeaaion*
Theae piece* are filled. There is no de
mand for clerk* pr lawyer*. The supply i*
, greater than the demand. If an adver
tisement call* for a young man to fill a
situation in an office, or atore, a troop an
swer* the call. But in vain ia the search
lor apprentice* to a trade. No one wanU
to work who can get pi* liripgiby hit witt.
If parent* educate children at their ewn
expense, end then cannot find congenial
employment for them, the fault is with the
paronU. But it the State, at the expense
cf the taxpayers, supports a system of ed
ucation that destroy* the balance of the
social system by producing more of one
claaa of laborer* than is called for, and di
minishing the production of another, the {
'consequence ia disorder, disappointment
and misery. The State itself trains its I
children for a department of service in
which only a small part of them can be '
employed. It disqualifies a largo part ot 1
iu children for that aorvico iu which ibey
are largely required. This makes misery.
There is no t phot a of lioactt labor that Is
not respectable. And If tbe children of
the people are not forced by hot-house ed
ucation Into seeking employment in
sphere* which are thought to bamore gen
teel than uch a* are called mmtttl, thoui
and* who are now struggliog or starving
for want of adequate employment would
be earning a lure and respectable support
in an honest employment.
It Is probably too late for us in this;
country to go back upon our system. Wo.
shall continue to teach musio and matbe-|
! matics and a score of otber tranche* of
fashionable or popular eduration, to tba
children of the people, making the tai
paysr* pay the enormous cost, and thus we
•hall do a positive injury to tba many,
greatly benefit a few, and by turning up
on society an innumerable number of
young people who will not now go into
menial or manual labor, and who cannot
obtain any thing else to do, we shall, as
we do now, force tbe supply of educated
labor beyoad the demand, and so injure
those whom we seek to benefit.
The easy reply to this statement is that
an eJucaled young man is Just as able to
go out day * work as if ba wera not edu
cated, which is very true. But give him
ed ucalioa and be will not lake to such em
ployment, nor be happy In it if be does.
A laundress sends her daughters to the
public school, and they learn all tba sci
ences and add the accomplish merits
Neither they wish, ner their mother for
Ikeiu, to take in washing, after they have'
had this advanced education. If they
could obtain something tetter to do, and'
in which their education would ba useful,!
we would by all meant give them the edu
cation. But if they are now raised abort
I the calling of their mother, and have no
other in which they can bis useful, tbeir
education hat done them harm and not
good.
