Notices have been posted in the furna- ces of the Cambria Iron and Coal Com- pany announcing a reduoetion of 10 per cent. in the wages, to take effect on the 1st of October, and all those who will not agree to take the reduction will be paid off and discharged.

The people recognize in them two faithful officials, who have striven to in- augurate economy and reduce taxation. No dishonest act can be laid to their door, as the closest scrutiny would prove. Their work needs to be carried on in the same way the next three vears, and as they understand it thoroughly let their action be endorsed by a large vote. - - Jay Gould is for Blaine.

The polities of the pas per is according to our convictions and we hold to it whether it suits this class of sneaks or not, and we have learned this much that if our business success de. pended upon these miserly grumblers and borrowers we would starve and there would be very few papers in the land with support enough to get along, That the Rmrorren is largely read by many non-subscribers is the best evi. dence that it is a good and well conduct. ed paper else there would not be this a- gerness to read it on the part of those who can afford to take it but depend up- on begging their neighbor's paper. With the poor man there is excuse for bor rowing, but the above class do it from in- bred stinginess, sn Judge Black, shortly before his death, said that he never charged a fee in any case he tried where the people were in. terested. And Judge Black was a great lawyer, noted for his virtaes, Ir Judre Black were living and in Centre county, he would take the interests of the people in our railroad ‘in hands, and defend their rights free of charge, In this mat. ter our people have not yet struck any or Judge Blacks as some steep bills are com- ing in for the people to pay. Some per- sons are very loud in their professions for the interests of the “dear people" when they want their votes for an office, but when the “dear people” want aid in return in a matter of public benefit, a good round fee will be demanded, altho’ the “dear people” may have done much gratuitously and “bled” freely for securing an improvement for the general benefit, and in which some of these lawyers are just as much interested. A note may be made of f some of these fellows who would be Judge Blacks in ability, but are nowhere when it comes to copying after his virtues, After all the sums that have been squeezed out of our people by an outside railroad corporas tion and the impositions we have born. it is do ' i bly painful to find that there are skinners right at home. a sis . WHY CAMERON IS FALLING INTO LINE IN SUPPORT OF THE TICKET, state Senator W, T. Davies some days, ago, in referring to the disputed question a8 10 whether or not Senator Cameron would be a candidate for re-election to the United States Senate, remarked : "Senator Cameron will only be a can- didate for re-election if Mr. Blaine asks him to be.” Senator Davies is very close to the cen- ter in Republican politics and his opin- ions are deserving of consideration. The statement 18 very significant. Senator Davies did not § the idea that Ber ] completely yielded his manhood and in- Of course ntend to convey itor Cameron had so dependence to the tattooed candidate of his party that he would accept his d tation in the matter of Senatorial succes.

A day or two ago the Blaine has cro however, that Mr, emissary eftain and an- ient and unique Hannibal Hamlin came hanged { h from Blaine's side and ex: harine pledges with General Camer- on. The next day the Senator heid him- self to Philadelphia to a Blaine, and afterwards « foi feast i « did that which he le ve with alled on ( , g ea ble and probably reia to do on the occasion of the chairman's mysterious visit ten days ago. Putting is these thiogs together, therefore, ine ference is that Cameron candi for Senator, is A a. . a Lhe opposition have not yet | to give a single reason why any one should vote against John A. Woodward. for Assembly. His fitness is admitted : he is not a stranger to any question that pertains to state affairs and he is a gen- tieman of ability who will stand up for Democratic principles in the lower House. He is an intelligent farmer and a working man. He lost a hand while at work in the barn, yet has never forsak- en that most honorable of all callings, and remains a farmer still. Our other nominee, Mr, Rhone, is also an intelligent farmer, and stands well among his neighbors as a good citizen. Of late years he has given some atten- tion to public questions, and been the advocate of reform. The Grange owes much to his energy in furthering the principles of the order, and advocating the interests of the agricultural class. His identification now with the Democrats is expected to bring him a strong vote from the other side, and why should it not ? he is in a better party sure, and it would be wise of others would they follow his example, Our party has room and a good word for more, wen able patel mio — Senator Wallace and FEx-Governor Cartin will go to Ohio this week to brave the Blaine hippodrome.

New York, Sept. 24. ~The managers of the Republican National Committee are much annoyed in consequence of the failure of President Arthor to eall upon Mr. Blaine. Secretary Chandler, who had charge of the business in getting them together, got along swimmingly for a day or two and exacted a promise from President Arthur to come to New York and meet Mr. Birine, But there has been a hitch in the arrangements somewhere and nobody knows just how it eame about.

The successful herder, there- fore, takes an interest in the property intrasbyd to his care. He must posscss considerable judgment and staying quali ties, and, in crowded ranges, sufficient combativness to enable him to * stand off” his neighbors and get his share of the grass.
