Ominol'8. The "tramp" maniilao
turors in Iowa and Maine, in the ox
treme Kast and West, havo declared
against "tbo government." That was
treason few years ago, when ".op
perheads" spoke lightly of "tho gov
ernment," but now it's a virtuo whon
uttered by Taft, or liluino & Co. How
things do change I
Gratified. Tho Boston Post eays:
Gen. Robort Toombs, of Georgia, re
contly In a public spocch put it in this
way: "Tbo capitalist who does not
respoct labor is a fraud, and the laborer
who does not respect capital is a fool."
We are glad to record this sensible
opinion, for Bob has not been over
flush in wisdom of late.
Lovely. Sixteen years ol Radical
government has stopped one hundred
saw-mills in Clearfield county, and re
duced the wages of laborers from $2.00
per day to seventy Jive cents. "Gay and
happy still" are you ; then voto the
.Radical ticket again, and by another
year you will bo ublo to follow the
calling of a first-class tramp.
Radical Rule. Previous to tho ad
vent of the Radical party, a President
and a Board of Directors used to be
ble to run a railroad, but now it takes
tho Governor and tho NATIONAL
Guard of Pennsylvania, besidos Gon.
Hancock and tho United States army,
and it is not very sale traveling at that,

Kico, indeed !
Attention, Candidates. On and

Tho usual fee for tho former two offi

on Saturday, the 15tli of September,
from 1 to 7 o'clock p. m., and County

Stand fp, Gentlemen. Tho hides
of the Hayes Si burr taction must be
pretty thick if they fail to wince over
the lashes applied to their baro backs
by the Radical leaders in Iowa and
Maine, and cauterized by "addition, di
vision and silenco" Komblo. What a
burthen it must bo lor a demagogue
to assume patriotism, and at the same
time play tho rote of a bawd. The
vilest harlot in tho crowd always pro
claims her virtue in tho highest tone
Just so with Matthews, of Ohio, and

Q. B. OoODI.ANDBR, KdO.I -
a a "In addition to youra, I would
like to get a good Bowipapej from the Kaat New
York lS'un, Philadelphia CvmmoHiMnltk, or the
Lanoaiter iifeffioeNcer, Which ia the belt paper I
Your Friend,
J. B. 6."
As wo havo had tho samo question
put to ns on soveral occasions, wo will
answer in this public manner. Tho
mistako our correspondents multo, is
in not stating whether they want a
daily, or xeeMy paper. Two of tho
journals indicated publish the two cd
lions. They aro first-class, ably editod,
enterprising, and in tone Democratic.
And in addition : The abuso of rail
roads and of Senator AVullaco, in niado
a specialty and their enterprise fre
quently leads tho editors to shako their
fists under tho noses of delegates for
two or threo months beforo county or
State Conventions assemble. To make
ourselves fully understood, wo givo
tho following example:
"The Philadelphia Commonietatlk girce due
ootlce that it will cloaely watch tho action of the
neat Dcmocratio Hlate Conrcntioo, and if any
body la found trying to alitle inrcaligation of the
State Treaaury or oppoaition to the Texal I'aciflo
aubaidy acheme, they will be duly expoaed and
their treaaon to Democracy will be made deaerr
edly odioua."
Thcro is zeal and pluck of the rarest
kind. Tho substanco of tho foregoing
eight lines appeared in tho threo jour
nals named, last week, as well as other
menaces of a similar character. Xow,
if ourfriends esteem it a virtuo to bo
factious and captious, cither of those
journals will prove satisfactory.
A Dbspotibm, Next. Tho man who
is too blind to sco what tho Radical
leaders aro at, should emigrate lo Rus
sia or Turkey. If be nover suspected
that tho enemies of a Dcmocratio form
of Government, bucIi as wo had pre
vious to 1860, are using cvjry means
to destroy it, we need but point them
to tho wide-spread riots which prevail
in tho Northorn States, and the reso
lutions ail o) ted recently by the Radi
cals at their Stato Conventions in Ohio
and Maino, where Hayes and Blaine
are compelled to stand as god-falhors
for thoir party frionds. They aro mor
tal enemies lo each othor, but they are
also enemies of tho Republic, and Ihey
aro jointly inviting mobs and Stato
Conventions to contribute all thoy can
to overthrow our present form of gov
ernment, and erect thereon either a
despotism or ombrace,anurchy, so as to
become an cosy prey ot some Kuropcan
powor. Thcro is no more patriotism
in those two Radical leaders than there
is in tho same number of mules, and
nono but those blinded by bigotry and
fanaticism fuil to see it.
Ohio and Maine. The frionds of
Hayes and Blaino havo sounded the
key noto of centralisation despotism.
Although tlieso two champions of
fraud and corruption aro personal cno
ntics, they and their friends aro con
spiring together to destroy our gov
ernment at all hazards. The personal
hatred between tho two men indicated
is so great that they havo no commu
nication with each other lor good pur
poses, but their friends meet in tho
Sluto Conventions and rctiolvo to over
throw our government not in a man
ly way "by loreo and arms," but af
ter tho manner ot sneak-thieves ;
they pass resolutions, ostensibly to
cure the evils that they have brought
upon the country, but in fuct, to
transform it into a despotism mob-vi-olonce
first, anarchy or despotism next.
Tho resolutions adopted by Stanloy
Matthews and James G. Blaine dem
onstrates this fact as plainly as mile
stones on a turnpike do the distanco.
The Blind Guide. Judgo West,
tho Radical nominco for Governor of
Ohio, in his speech to tho members of
tho Convention, promised them that
ho would regulate capital after ho bo
comes Governor. Ho is going to com
pel tho railroads to adopt a coopera
tive plan by creating a surplus fund,
and that after a fixed period a certain
per ccntago is to bo paid out of this
fund to the stockholders and tbo em
ployes, and thereby unito tho interests
or both instead of dividing it Why
has tho J udgo not put his plan In prac
tice on his bijr farm divide the profits
of his farm with his employes. We
would rathor set jiraetict than listen lo
preaching. A farm can bo managed
just liko a railroad. Now for a prece
dent, Judgo.
The Ohio Team. A
colcmporary
compliments a pair of political tw
ins in
mis way: "Stanley Matthews

to put a plaster over his mouth
tire to some sylvan shade till tl

POOH LO.
Tho general "badness" which pro
vails.secms to havo been extended to tho
Indians, who aro committing all kinds
of depredations in the South West und
on the plains. Tho Nox Perces tribe,

ways been docilo aro now committing
outrages equal to tho bloody Sioux.
Why is It that tbo Indiana not
halfso numerous as they wero twenty

Wo suspect that ex-Soni.tor Nes

on tho subject. Ho says:

bery perpetrated by tbo general government and
aome of ita raically repreiantativea have driven
th " take up urine, and converted thrm into a
fierce, daogeroua and rolonlleaa enemy.
That is rather a bad story to relate
tho Red Man bas been in truining for
leu years, by Grant's (Junker Indian
Cominisioners. Is it possible that these
men who aro eo humanely disposed at
homo havo turned tho half civilized
Indians into savages again, because of
tkeir frauds and robberies I
There is something radically wrong.
This is plain to everybody, fiilhor tbe
Quakers or tho Indians havo reversed
themselves. If it's "so," bow wus it
done ? Those who have controlled tho
Indians for filteen years should bo able
to explain this matter to tho public.
Will thoy do it.
Carpet Baooeby. Nivp Orleans,
August 11. Edward Fulton, ox-tax-collector
of tbo Fourth district, and
Lewis Laun, havo arrived from Sun
Francisco in charge of spoeial officors.
Fulton is charged with tho embezzle
ment of nearly 100,000 of tho Stuto
funds. Ho has given bonds lor bis
appearance in tho sum of 20,000. Ex
Deputy Collector Herwig is ono of his
bondsmen. Latin is charged with de
frauding the Citizen's bank by moans
of forged bills of lading ot ! 10,000. Ho
bas been sent to tho parish prison in
default of bail. His partner, Carr,
who is implicated in tho samo trans
action, is also in prison, having failed
to furnish bonds. . Thoro aro regiments
of just such fellows as these still run
ning at largo. Some havo escaped to
Canada and Mexico, but tho most of
them will bo caught oventuully.
Reform Giants. Bill Kemblo, of
"addition, division and silenco" notorie
ty, has locked horns with Mr.
Schura, ono of Hayes' civil servico re
formers. The former insists that the
Radical State Committee paid the lat
ter J500 por week for making Radical
stump speeches in this Stato; but
Schurt denies tho charge. Kemblo
counter and proves by documentary
ovidenco, that tho reform Socretary
did not only chargo tho Committee
8500 per week, but they also paid his
hotel bills and furnished him with free
passes over tbe railroads. The revela
tion is disgraceful In the extreme to
both gentlemen. We are glad that
neithor makes any pretensions to Dcm
acrscy. Schura bad bolter "dry up,"
or resign his position asSocrotary. He
has ovidently put his foot "in it"
again.
"Oneop'eu." According to a Wash
ington telegram, that colobralod ex
Dctcctivo C. S. Boll, who hailed from
Jackson, Mississipps, and obtained
some notoriety as a witness in tho Bel
knap and safo burglary cases, at Wash
ington, was arrested horo to-day on a
requisition of the Governor of Texos
on tbe charge of murder, which Is al
leged to have bocn committed in 18C7,
tho victim being William Morris. He
is ono of those political vultures who
has preyed upon tho common distress
of tho country ever sinco 1801, and it
is just and proper to send such fellows
up tho spout. Until society rids itself
of those relics ol tho war, thcro can be
no truo peace nor prosperity.
Gail's Dodoe. Abigail Dodgo(Gail
Hamilton) has been lampooning Hayes,
who was her favorito man, until re
cently. She has beon kicking and
cuffing "tho government" worso than
Packard and Chamberlain together.
The cocoa-nut has been punctured and
the milk extracted. Gail has a griev
ance. She lias had a brother buried
in tho Now York Custom Houso tor
soventocn years at $2,200 por annum.
Hayes resurrected him and put some
body else's brother in hisgravo. That's
tho ofTonso. What an affliction that
"Southern policy" is to somo peoplo
anyhow. Go in Gail, you have a right
to your say in this hour of your bo
reuvement. AssERTINO AND DENYING. II. Y.
Boynton, Washington correspondent
of tho Cincinnati Oatettt, denies that
he ever attempted to blackmail ox
Special Treasury Aircnt Moore. Carl
Schura also denies that ho was paid
fjlJO per week for making Radical
stump speeches. But Bill Kemble
says, "you're another." Such are the
ups and downs of tho Radical politi
cians. Tho one charges and the other
denies.
Good for Mil Jap. Tho Boston
Wsays: A J apancso aristocrat thus
writes home tohiswilo: "The chief
branch of education of young men hero
is rowing. Tho people have largo boat
houses called 'colleges,' and tho princi

Do you sco it ? Too much rotci'nij and
not enough hoeing to make things dur
able. Dino DoNti, Dino Dono, Kto. A
"subsidy," in tho shape of a good sized
nightmare, is annoying the editors of
two or three Dcmocratio newspapers.
Just how much sleep they each lose in
a night, wo do not know, but we would
like to know bow much Northern Pa
cific, Kansas, or Central Tacifio stock
they carry in their pockets. Who can
tell.

THE EASTERN WAR.
Wo havo but little to report since
the Turkish victory at Plevna, an ac
count of which appeared in our last
issue. That huge ellnrts are are being
mudo by the commanders of both ar
mies for a tremendous battle, is inevi
table. Tbe 40,000 Russians which
bad crossed the llelkan Mountains into
Kumelia, have been ordered back, and
are being mussed in Bulgaria about
twenty miles Southwest of Plevna.

kun Mountains. Bulgaria, which, like
the .Shenandoah valley during Seward's
irrepressible conflict, is made tho
tramping ground lor both armies, and
having quarreled with tbo Turks and
do not look upon Russia as a very kind
god futhor while reflecting over tho
late of Poland, the situation of the Bul
garians ia indeed deplorable.
The barbarous conduct of both ar
mies Is a disci-aco to civilization There
ia apparently no choice in tho matter
ot humanity betweon the Russian and
Turkish lows. Tho correspondents
in the Turkish lines relate tho atroci
ties porpotratcd by tho Cossacks upon
the inhabitants, which aro almost in
conceivable. They havo wiped out
w hole vilagos in liulgarin, massaereing
iiion, women and children.
A correspondent of tho London News,
states that among tho victims of the
early advance of the Russians across
tho Dutiubo, were boys of eight and
ten years ol ago, and even young girls
would bo mutilated by tho Cossack
troopers. They would cut thoir heads
off, sever a limb, or othorwiso manglo
their bodies with their swords and
lunces as thoy would raid over the
plains.
On tbe other hand, correspondents
in the Russian camps, relate tho out
rages committed by tho Dnshi-BazoukB,
alter the battlo ot Plevna, who passed
over tho battle-field and shot and
otherwise mutilated tho woundod in
the most horrihlo manner, acting more
liko fiends than human beings. Tbo
horrors of civilized warfare are bad
enough to reluto and criticiso, but the
butcheries perpetrated upon human
beings by tho Cossacks on tho part of
tho Russians, and the Bashi-Bazouks,
on the part ot tho Turks aro intolera
ble. How long will civilized nations
gazo upon those barbarities and keep
silent?
It is true tbo perpetrators aro but
semi-civilized, but why set idly by and
look upon tho spectacle of two of tho
most poworful govenmcnts in Kuropc,
employing creatures who in their zeal
vioiato all tbo laws of God and man.
Why not demand tlmt these bush
whackers bo taken off the field and re
turned to their nutivo mountains.
War makes fiends out of thorn and
rapine, slaughter and tho torch; fires
up their brutal propensities, and in
their fanatical moods they are commitr
ting crimes unheard of by this genera
tion and too diabolical lo detail. It
certainly, in view of tho circumstances,
becomes tho duty of all civilized na
tions, to object lo this bloody work
and in tho f uturo prevent as far as pos
sible, tho hostile contact ot such peo
ples, WHO ARE WORKINGMEN t
Every man who works is a work
ingman. Kvory man who Inborn is a
laborer. Thoro are certain classes ol
laborers who affect to be exclusive rep
resentatives and champions of labor.
Thoy are genorully bound, together in
unions, brotherhoods and associations.
and thoy assuino that ell who do not
belong to their unions or are not en
gaged in thoir trados are not working
men, and aro not interested in tho
claims and concerns of labor. But this
assumption lias no truth to rent on.
Ol the 70,000 adult male inhabitants
in Ht. Louis, 60,000 at least mako thoir
living by labor, receiving their pay
daily, weekly or monthly and this
does not include tbe many thousimd
women and girls who mako thoir liv
ing in tbo samo way. These aro, there
lore, workingmon no less than railroad
engineers, firemon and brakemcn, and
persons belonging to other trade unions.
What proportion ot those 00,000 work
ingmon in St. Louis are engaged in the
present strike ? Wo believo that not
more than ono-sixth if indoed that
many. A II tbe others are not only not
in sympathy with the movomonl but
opposed to it, and ready to resist it
with arms in caso It attempts to defy
the law and commit acts ot violence
Tbe workinirmon of this countrv aro
on irresponsible powor ; thoy aro a
majority ol tho nooplo: indeed, thov
are the people. And we moan by the
term all who cam their living by work
of one kind or another. Whenovor
they demand tho onactmont of a be
nign law.or tbe repeal of an oppressive
ono, tbe demand will have to bo grant
ed, becauso they possess the voto to
enforco it. But this lartro class can
not and will not permit a few exclusive
societies to rule it and present the
country tbe ultimalion of submission
to their demands or revolution. Labor
needs protection of laws as well as cap
ital, and tho fivo million worklngmen
in tho United States will never con
sent to soo tho government turned up
side down at tho dictation ot a paltry
minority oi uommuniBla. luit

An Indignant P. M. Tho independ
ent postmaster who prefors parly to
pelf has emerged Irom his obscurity in
a lultor to Mr. Hayes. His nurno is
Jones, Soneca Jones, ol Nowdlum, Ore
gon. Don Piatt's Capital gets the lot
tor by special courtesy on Hayes' part,
as compensation for tboso throats of
assassination made by the Don last
winter. Hoar Jones, and stiffen tip

Good Apvice. The Cincinnati En
quirer very considerately suggests to
Judge West that he should not prance
around too much on Mr. Stanloy Mat
thews' platform. There aro aeveral
planks missing and it would be easy
to fall through.
Debatable. "Whatever is, is rt'anf,"
Popo remarked. But the man who
arrives at the depot just as the train
is scudding out of the othor end, Is
left, and he doesn't care a d n what
Pope says; ho will have bia own view
ol the" rase.
Damnable Heresy. The Ohio and
Maino Radicals aro awfully alarmod at
tho "Dumooratio heresy of States,
rlghU," and at both thoir recent Stato
Conventions they resolved that "we
are a Nation," and demand that all
government should rmonate from
Washington centralization completo.
In ailditon to their Infamous demand,
they propose to huve the general gov

no difference how honest tho agent

quilo a number of our exchanges are
puffing, and advising their readers to
suhscribo for tbe Philadelphia North
American. It lopAa all right in the
oolumns of a Rmlical paper, but it is a
little peculiar when read In a Dcmo
cratio pupor. The journal indicated
is a first dais one for Radicals to read,
but Democrat should study something
bettor. ! .

Rather Prophetic. "Look out for
the overflowing scourge," said Judge
Black to t'.ie mou who wero about to

and the end is not yet Unhappily

That was inevitable.
Ready ro Take a Hand. Fifty
thousand Virginia troops wuro tender
ed to Mr. Hayes by tho Virginia Gov
ornor to aup iress tbe riots in the North,
and New Orleans also offered her mil
itary. W by, how does this come ? We
thought tin South was "disloyal," and
was only waiting an opportunity to
strike a blow.
What a Pitt. The Philadelphia
Times remarks : "Tbe only Republican
paper in M ssissippi, that we have any
knowlcdgoof, is mad because the Dem
acrata did not put a colored man on
their State ticket. Tho organ would
havo bocn mad just tho same if tbey
had done so." Therefore, It makos no
difference.
Stop Gail. If Gail Hamilton does
not soon take to her literary business,
sbo will ruin the gentleman from
Maino. Tbe Cblosgo 77mM comments
on "a statement recently made by
Senator Blaino over the signature of
Gail Hamilton." It looks too thin for
a man who wants to bo President.
Hi Explains. The Philadelphia
7'i'mrssays: "Judgo West has explain
ed. When he came to read his speech
over be found it was not what bo In
tended to say. .It ia a little unfortunate
tho Republicans should have nomina
ted a man who is likoly to do what he
didn't intend to do."
Good Babies. Tbo editor of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, says that the first
boy baby able to utter a sensible thing
alter the nomination of Bishop by the
Democrats, for Governor, said : "Pa,
vote for Bishop." And now nearly all
the male babies follow suit just as fast
as they learn to talk.
A Zealocs Candidate. For a Uni
vorsalist minister, tbe Greenback can
clulato ror Uovcrnor or Maine uses

our statesmen," and "God hurl to tho
deepest hell tho authors of our finan

Private Dalzell sends to the Tribune
a graphic picture of the scene at Cleve
land when Judge West aroao to deliver
