Pattison our nominee for governor is

A brief summary of the work of the
Tarif Commission daring its Long
Branch sojourn isat hand. It is related
that, of the witnesses examined by the
Commission, twenty-one favored a high-
er tariff on various articles, twenty-three
urged the maintenance of the present,
fourteen asked a reclassification of duo-
ties, and only seven asked a slight re
duction in or the entire abolition of the
duty on certain articles. Of these seven
ouly four were consumers alone! The
forty four individuals who opposed tar
iff reduction were all representatives of
favored interests who declare that a cut-
ting off of duty would diminish their in-
cones, and ignored all reference to the
demands and necessities of the consum-
ers.
Mexico is soon to have a railway sys-
tem, connecting the city of Mexico and
the entire republic with the United
States. The bonds of the company are
guaranteed by the republic of Mexi-
eo, and ten million dollars worth of them
have recently been negotiated in Eng-
land. The commissioners sent to make
this sale came back with half the mouey
in their pockets, and the remainder they
"expect to obtain in a few months. The road
is now ready for the rails for a distance
of two hundred miles north from thecity
of Mexico, and at this end of the rails will
soon be laid as far as Monterey, Itisex-
pected that the road will be completed
and trains running from New York to the
City of Mexico by about the end of the
year 1883,
Mr. Jay Hubbell shines by comparison
The Virginia clerks in the departments
at Washington were disposed to gromble
when he came down on them for his lit-
tle 2 per cent., but they think him not
near 80 bad as he might be when they
callto mind the grab game of Mr, Ma.
hone. The latter party has made np his
mind that a 2 per cent. assessment will
not begin to raise the money he needs, so
he has notified the persons most interes-
ted that they must tarn over to his treas-
urer 5 per cent, of their galaries and by
September 22, The Cincinnatti Gazette
tells of a lady receiving §75 per month,
who has just paid $18 to Hubbell, and is
now called upon to put up $45 for Ma-
hone. At the end of the month she will
be able to draw $12 to divide between
the landlord and the grocer.
Gp pe A,
The predictions that Germany would
rival the United States in the production
of petroleum and thus rob us of a very
important branch of exports does not
seem to have heen well founded. Coun-
sel Canisins writes to the state depart-
ment from Geestemund, that the petrole~
um excitement in Germany has subsided,
and the attempt to furnish even the peo-
ple of that country, has been abandoned.
The oil fever, he saps, rose to an unpre-
cedented height in that country last sum.
mer, but has entirely subsided, and the
stocks have all together disappeared from
the market. He says: “The fervant
hopes of German patriots of driving blue
bellied Yankees from the vast petroleum
stores at Geestemund, Bremerhaven, and
other places have not been realized, and
probably will sot be fora longtime. Even
raw pebroleum is brought over here,
‘which proves that the chlen article is
not, even when raw as useful as the
“VIEWS”
The Lewistown Gazette, alpiper for the
bosses, is uneasy about Pattison because
he has not made known any “views” on
important questions of the day. Where
there is already good, solid work, such as
Pattison bas performed for the plundered
and ring ridden people of Philadelphia,
that is of more consequence than “views,”
The trouble with the Gazetie’s Beaver ia
that he is as full of “views” as a dog-ken-
nel is of fleas, he is making a “view”
of himself at overy dance, pienio
frolic, militia drill, camp-meeting, and

AN UNFAIR METHOD OF ACTING.
The attempt to link Gen. Beaver's
name with different religous and reform
organizations for the express purpose of
securing votes, remunds us of the proud
Pharisee in Cbrist’s time that boasted in
the temple that he was not as other men,
open to censure and reproach, butta mod-
el for others to follow. It looks very
much as ifthe Stalwarts of Pennsylvania
were making use of the livery of heaven
to serve their political purposes. Gener
al Beaver discounts his character as a
man, much more as a professing Christ-
ian, when he attempts to use it for secular
We do not desire to impugn
his integrity, or call in question his relig-
ious sentiments, unless he makes too much
of them in the pending canvass, We
then, will have a right Yo criticise and cen-
sure. So far as our knowledge extends
Mr. Pattison is a gentleman of quite as
good a character and as firmly establish.
ed in sound doctrines as General Beaver,
It is not his natare, however, to parade
his religous views before the public for
the purpose of securing political favor,
While the Y. M. C. A: is a most worthy
institution, deserving of recoguition as an
aid to the church, it does not contain all
who labor as Christain workers, and
should not openly interest itself in bol
stering up any man's political fortunes,
unless a dangerous influence is operas
ting, calling for exertion. Mr, Pattison
is just as deserving of the moral support
of the people as General Beaver, although
he is not intruding upon that class, and
Pharisaically proclaiming his virtues
Politiical reform is the issue that is now
commanding attention, and Mr, Pattison
represents that element more fully than
any person now placed before the voters
of this Commonwealth, while Gen, Beav-
er is the representative of a corrupt dy-
nasty, so impregnated with the virus of
partisan maliceas to draw around him
the worst class of politicians—aclass that
has disgraced the State and nation for
years. Is it not time, then, to take the
men and their political surroundings into
consideration, rather than allow their re-
ligious professions to control ? We trus,
therefore, that every voter will consider
the relative bearing each candidate pos-
gasses before allowing collateral influ.
ences to have any welght. Robert E,
Pattison represents the reform sentiment
of the State, and is pledged to make use of
that element in moulding the State gov-
ernment, should he be vested with pow-
er, while his opponent represents Stal
wart Republieanism, an element that is
20 obnoxious that the better portion ol
the Republican party have rebelled and
nominated a reform ticket. Under such
circamstances the intelligent voter wili
not be easily led to support Gen. Beaver,
ifthat gentleman does see fit to use his re.
ligous affilations for a political purpose.

CAMERON DENOUNCED BY THE
INDEPENDENT REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE.
Harrisburg, August 24, 1882, — Senator
Stewart, independent republican candi-
date for Governor, ad ed about five
hundred people at Mechanicsburg, Cumn-
berland county, to-night. He was partic-
ularly severe in his arraignment of Sena-
tor Cameron for his autocratic rule in the
domain of Pennsylvania politics. He ex-
pressed his regret that General Beaver,
the regular republican nominee for Gov-
ernor, was not present, as he would like
to tell him that he was J. Donald Camer-
on’s candidate. He charged Beayer with
being in favor of political assessments
after he had declared, when accepting the
nomination for Governor, that the plat.
form touching on this point should be
faithfully carried ont. As to Beaver’s re-
cent remark, that Senator Cameron was
& small man, and the explanation by the
Same person t he meant physically,
Stewart said: “Cameron bestrides the
Commonwealth like a Colossus and Gen-
eral sits beneath his legs looking up for a
grateful smile of recognition.” He gave
numerous illustrations to show the po-
tent influence exerted by Cameron, by
means of the great patroiage he control.
led and said it was expected to elect the
Cameron candidate by the illegitimate
use of money extorted from the 10,000
fedreal office-holders in the state.
“Beaver,” he said, “owed his nomination
to his obedience to the commands of Sen.
ator Cameron atthe Chicago Convention,
in voting for General Grant ; until be did
this Cameron would give him no recogni-
tion as a candidate for Goveruoor, a posi-
tion to which he bad aspired at two pre-
vious conventions.” Stewart said the in-
dependent republican canvass was draw-
ing to it the best minds of the State, and
that it showed nosigns of wavering,

The Pennsylvania Republican Com-
mittees are sending their demands for
voluatary contributions to all the clerks
from that State in the departments here.
The demands are for voluntary offerings
of two per cent. They come to the
women a8 well as fo the men. Cases
come to light every day of widows of

a Democrat, and 8 young man at that,
Let us look at his record; it is the nicest
kind of reading for tax pavers. Since Mr.
Pattison has been in the Qontrolier's of
fico~—and put there by the joint votes of
Democrats and Republicans, mind that,
yo bosses and political mschinists~—his
efficient services have promoted the cause
of munwipal reform and effected:
Ist. A steady reduction of the city

A reduction of the tax rate.
This is a great record; & record few men
can show. Few old, experienced, admins
istrators of the public service can show
such well doing; but when it belongs to a

safe course to pursue—elect Pattison for

the different acclivities encountered in the
immediate vicinity and their adaptability
for stations. On the conclusion of these
researches a report is submitted to the Ex.
ecutive Board at Panama, and by the
comparison which is instituted a line is
reached as a basie for future operations
Under the direction of Pedro Sosa, =
prominent Columbian engineer, excellent
results have been arrived at, so as that the
excavations originally proposed have been
materially reduced.
THE CENTRAL LINE,
In an interview with Jeromino Osea, »
member of the engineer corps in Panama,
and who arrived in this city by the last
steamer, it was ascertained that the sur.
veying bad now been finished and that at-
tention is now concentrated upon deters
mining the centre of the canal, The route
of the canal has already been cleared of
trees, and with the above exception, every
thing is in readiness for the excavation to
commence. In fact, a contract bas already
been given to excavate a distance of eight
miles, from Colon to Gatun, and it is ex-
pected that work will be commenced on
November 1. As has been previously
noticed in the Chronicle, the machinery to
be used in this work is in process of cons
struction, some of it awaiting shipment
from this city to New York,
DAMMING THE CHAGRES,
The most important labor, that of erect.
ing dam at Gamboa, on the Chagres
River, engrosses the attention of the engi.
peers. Over sixty kilometres of the river
currents studied. In another direction
tracks have been laid for the purpose of
carrying the excavated earth and stones
to the proposed site of the dam, while
along the whole route of the canal, from
Colon to Panama, stations have been es-
tablished, A large number of warehouses
have also been built. A commodious hos
pital has been constructed upon an emi
nence in Panama for the benefit of the ca-
nal company’s employes and placed under
the direction of competent physicians, An
additional contract to that cited above has
been given for the excavation of 87,000
cubic meters at Obispo, where a large
warchouse will be built, as well as addis
tional gshops to those already mentioned,

were about 150 negroes, who, after hearing

phia, to leave packages there,
and to make a convenience
of it generally. Itisa handy
lace, right by the new City
all, at the very center of the
city. Itanswers our purpose
to welcome you, and to pro-
vide for such of your wants
as we can,
The store is about twice
as large as it was two or
three years ago; made so by
digging under ground and
building overhead, and by ex-
tension on Chestnut street.
Parts of the store are about
as comfortable as any place
can be; and one of the most
comfortable parts is now be-
ing got ready for the rest and
refreshment of strangers,
€ One of the pleasant things
about the store always has
been the fact that you can
walk all over it, either alone
or with a guide, without ever
being asked to buy a thing,
We know very well that most
of you come to us for a good
share of your supplies; why
should we spoil your visit by
intruding goods upon your
attention, when you come to
see the place?
“But perhaps you are not
sowing to Philadelphia just
now. Very well; take a cool-
er time. It's cool enough in
the store, when you get here.
You can write for any goods
that you may happen to
want; and get them, proba-
bly, just as well as if you
were on the spot. Any how,
you know, you can return
whatever you get that you
don't like.
We sell more sorts of
things than we can put into
