that it is about timo to Bwop doctors
again and see whether you cannot find

In A Quandary. Some great cdi.
tors, or the editors of groat journals,
like the common demagogue, wear
tnulo'sears. To illustrate: Tho editor
of the Sew York Tribune, in his anxi
ety to support both Hayes and Blaine,
remarks that tho general drift ot the
Maine platform is "obviously away
from Hayes," and that it is, "on tho
whole, judicious." So if tho Tribune it
forced to choose, we will soo which
way it will consider it judicious to
drift.
An exchango says: Mr. Kvarts is
the wag of the Cabinet. IIo made the
grave yet fraudulent Rulhcrtord smile,
by suggesting to put over tho door:
"Many call, but tow are chosen."

General Order No. 8.
I. Tho National Guard of Ponnsylva
nia, being composed of mon in business,
which in many cases necessarily suffers
during their ausonoe lor any protract
ed period, thorcby entailing serious
loss upon iiiemsoivos ana narUBUips
upon their families, and tho preserva
tion ot life and property and (food or
der requiring that a strong force should

Stato until work is fully resumed, it
has been deemed by the commander-in-chief,
in uccordanco with the pro
visions of tho ninety second soction ot
tho act approved May 4, 1804, entitled
an act tor tho organization, discipline
and regulation of tho militia of tho
commonwealth of Pennsylvania, to or
ganize two regiments of ten companies
each by detailing from each regiment
ot tho National Guard only such ofn
cors and men as cun absent themselves
from their business without serious
loss, and will voluntocr to servo ac

during the present cmergoncy.
Mint. Division commanders are
therefore directed to report at once by

will be selected the officers for the two

More Amir. Such is tho demand
made, by many since tbo late riots.
"More soldiors" or we will have no
lihorty. This is all nonsense. We do
not want brute force, we have onough
of that. It is moral character we want
instead of more soldiors. The Now
York Sun closos the argument on tbe
question in this way : "The strength
of a Republican government, tho main
tenance of Democratic institutions, the
peace of tho United Slates, or the good
order and welfare of tbe American
people, do not depend upon tbe site of
the army, or the dominancy of tho
military establishment, or tho gran-
dour of our array of Generals, Colonels,
Majors, Captains, Lieutenants, Cor
porals, and buglers, all gorgeously uni
formed, and all trained in the use of
swords, bayonets, guns, pistols, can
non, and mitrailleuses. When the Con
stitution and public peace can be main
tainod only by carnage and firo, this
Republic, now one hundred years old,
will be in a bad way, and not worth
kocping up. Tho army should be re
duced to ten thousand men. The best
government is that which governs least.
Tho world is governed too much.
TiiePermanintKxposition. Phil
adelphia, August 19. Tho pcrma.
nont exhibition was open for tho first
timo on Sunday to-day, and was at
tended during tbo afternoon by an au
dience of 11,000 people, oomposod
largely ot tho working classes and bn
sincss men, for whoso special accom
moditlion it was opened. A grand sa
cred concert was given in tho great
musio ball, which was crowded to its
utmost capacity. Everything; was con
ducted in tho most orderly manner,
and there was nothing to offend the
most exacting moralist. No machinery
was pormittod to run and no sales of
merchandise were allowed, but it
was opened simply as a museum.
An Oversiuut. A iiiK-g writer
flanks in on the Senator of Maine in
this way : "Mr. Blaino's neglect to put
something in the Maine platform about
the momentous and thrilling Mexican
question Is attracting tbe alUmtion of
the press. If it isn't too lato M r. Maine
had better fix up that platform and
gel in at least some modern improve
ments." Mexico has been overlooked
and tho eight by sevon administration
may annex it to this country before
tho people away down In Maine know
anything about it.
All Wrono. No lees than four
Radical editors bavo been cowbided in
the past two weeks, ohief of whom la
tbe ecribo of the Washington BepMi-
can, Hayes' government organ, and
not tho least among thorn is our Bolle
fonte neighbor, Tuton, of the Jtepubli-
can, who was outrageously assaulted
by infield Scott Wagoner. Winny
was arrested and put under bonds for
1300, and is now awaiting court for
the puipoa of explaining bis outrage-
our conduct.
Developing. Tho prosont disturb
ances causes tho beads of numerous
demagogues to come to the surface.
Wo notice among tho various patent
medicines now offered to cure the
troublo between labor and capital, ia
the project to form a now working
man's political party which compre
hends a demand for "gratuitous ad
ministration of justice in all courts ol
law;" "abolition. "fivlUeijaJfiiXX
eane ot f awpvrtation to be taken
hold of and operated by the govern
ment;" "all industrial enterprises to be
placed under tbe control of tbogovurn
ment as fast as practicable und oper
ated by freooo-operative trades' unions
for tho good of tbo whole people.
What a rare field for demagogues and
thieves to operato in. And It looks as
though West, tho Radical nominee for
Governor of Ohio, would champion tho
cause of tho Improvident and tho
cheap political hucksters who have
brought the country to tbe verge of
ruin. What unparalleled impudence
it ia tor thoso who bave wrought the
ruin now to turn np as physicians and
claim that they are the dispensers of
tho remedies lor tho euro of ills. Read
er, kick all such quacks and impostors
out of the way and look around for an
honest man.
Sensiuli Advice. A Washington
telegram of tbe 15th, states that tbo
ocnlral council of the labor league of
tho United States, at a meeting held
at thoir headquarters on the previous
evening passed a sorioa of resolutions
on the deprossed stato of lubor through
out the country, and the anticipated
evil results to flow therefrom, enforc
ing coolnoss and moderation upon the
members ot tho order, and specially
warning thorn as well as working mon
in general to beware of emistarios,
some of whom have endeavored to
oporate hero, who go around inciting
to strikes and violence, moasuros which
injure labor In general, disturb order
and end in tbe conviction and punish-
ment of the participant therein, and
RssoLTsn, "That moral agitation U tba
strength and sewer by wbiob labor oaa aequire
taogiole reformation, aad that mob vtoloooe and
riot lead oaly to anarchy and anal destruction to
bumaa liberty, and it is better to submit to nny
sort of despotism fortbo timo being tbaa te hare
ao government at all."
That is about as aensiblo a resolve
aa we have soon tor a long time. It is
short and covers the whole ground.
Let it be Amended. Tho Maine
Democrats did well to plant them
solves squarely on tbe St. Louis plat
form. It still holds. Their denuncia
tion of tbe electoral fraud ia coupled
with a demand for a constitutional
amondment to prevent its repetition.
This will without doubt engage the
serious attention of Congress at its
next session ; but wo do not think tbe
country need fear that tbe outrage of
March, 1877, will evor again bo perpe
trated in Amoriea. The resolution re
ferring to the President's southern
policy has tbe right ring. It is not neces
sary for Democrats to fall on the bosom
of Mr. Hayes because, accepting tbe
inevitable, be has called off tbe federal
troops and recognized the omnipotence
ot civil law ; but it is proper that they
should approve his course in this and
evoiy otbor matter when it accords
with sound Democratio doctrine. Al
together, the platform is unobjectiona
ble, and it ought to toll in tbe cam
paign against the one incubated by
Blaine.
Tux New Reformer. Tbe Work
ingmon's party in Louisville, Ken
tucky, olocted thoir Legislative tickot
on a plulfurn) (oadod wilb such betoro-
gonoous elements as tho eight-hour law,
prohibition of prison labor, compulsory
educalion, "no man lobe nominated for
office unloss he is a workingman" and
a tariff for revenue. Those are huge
reforms t But who is fool enough to
believe that the man who will work
but eight hours, is entitled to as much
pay as the mon who works ton and
twelves hours a day. Tbe "compulsory
education" jdea is ipiportcd from Ku-
rope, and is as great an outrsgp npon
tho Republic, or Democratic ideas of
governmout, as to advocate the suhsti.
tution of a King or an Ktnpcror, tor
the President. Tho buby may look
like a "reform" child, but betoro it is
ten yoars old it will boa full fledged
Communist, because of parentage and
general surroundings.
Let it.bi Settled. At the Lehigh
County Court, at Allonlown, op Mon
day, Judge A. B. Longakor dolivered
his opinion In the case of A. II. Lynn
against D. J. Godsbalk and Joseph A.
Weaver, publishers of tho Buthlohem
Timet, tor allogc4 libol of plaintiff in
publishing a speech of U. J. Wonnpr,
Esq., in a case of Alfred Crist against
tbo said Lynn. The Judge holds, In
effect, that the speech of a lawyer,
without givinga full report of tho trial,
is a libol. The Judge said he would
impose no otbor sentonoo than tho
costs. We understand the case is like
ly to go to the Supreme Court, In ordor
to settle tho question whother an edi
tor may fit may no), publish the speech
of an attorney In a oase,' without at
the samo timo giving the cvldonce
takon on the trial.
Tiiet are Comino. We observe
that "our colored brethren" aro kick
ing ovor the traeea everywhere, The
chairman of a large colored Democratic
club in Cincinnati thus addressed his
colored friends: "Organize and defeat
the party that baa so long deceivod
you. Vote your sentiment, and whon
you have so done your vonscience will
be clear before men, and the Demo
cratio tickot will be successlul.
"There's musio in tbe air" for tbe Rad
icals this fall, and it ia becoming to
loud that a person must be very deaf
it he can't boar it-
Tut Maineites. Tbe Radicals of
Cumberland county, Maine, on Thurs
day last, In their county Convention
passed resolutions endorsing Hayes to
the backbone, notwithstanding the
fact that at thoir State Convention, a
week previous, they refused to endorse
him. Those Yankee down there will
have some fun out of Uayea and Blaine
before neat rafting time.
In Session. Tbe Democratic Blate
Convention meet at IJarrisburg to
day (Wednesday,) for Ih purpose of
nominating a candidate for Buprsme
Judge, State Treasurer and Auditor
General. We will be able to toll our
roadora next week who tbe gentlemen
are who will Oil those offices in the
pear future. I
rKTER HALinuauT.
We notico that tho Into (iroonback
candidate for President, Peter Cooper,
haa written a letter to President I lines,
in which bo reiterates his well
known views on tho currency, lie
wants tho govenfinent to givrf imme
diate relief to unemployed labor, "cith
er through definite melboda of help"
or by "great und obvious improve
nnmmm,tr m ?
bootstraps, lor government can only
begin great Improvements by increas
ed taxation, which is now us heavy us
wo can bear. Of course, ho desires al
so tho remonctir.ation of silver and a
national currency interconvertible with
bonds, which "will tuko tlio creation of
currency out of tho bauds ot t he bunks."
Having delivered himself of these her
esies, Mr. Cooper's hard common sense
oomes to his rescue, and ho demands
industrial schools institutions under
national, State and local control, which
shall teach children to use their bunds
as they aro now taught to use their
heads. Tho great importance of in
dustrial schools is not sufficiently re
cognized yet, but tho time must come
when our education must tuko a wider
range and bo more practical. Mr.
Cooper is in entiro accord with tho
President's view on civil service re
form, though the vigorous terms in
which he expresses himself seem to in
dicate a desire for an advance in the
way of roforni, such as tbo people
bavo not yet seen.
-
A Case in Point. Thoro are a few
fools in this country who bavo sup
posed that Grant was the only man
fit to govern the people. Tbo editor
of tho Louisville Courier, throws some
light on this subject, lie recently
over-heard Pierrcpont, our Minister,
and Badcau, Consul at London debut
ing tho subject in this way :
"Pierrepoot 'Hew, Adam, I see that the nrw
webellioo is quite cwushtd the wiots, you
know.' Iledcau 'Yea, so I see, myself.' Plerre
pont 'Well, now, what pwusslcs mo is, how the
d deuee they did It without Uwaat. Do you
koow,Adain,I think Owint must bave hctltfie'ij'k
so) what to do !' "
Pierropont and Budeau aro repre
senting tho people of tbe United States
abroad upon tbo samo principle that
tho Ringmaster und the Clown repre
sents them at tho circus. While the
Grant family, accompanied by these
two men, were traveling in England
crowds received them on tbo street
corners just as a circus is received to
sco tho elephant and tho band wagon.
Wbun tbo caravan reached Franco,
Germany and ituly, it attracted no
more attention than a four horse team.
The Ringmaster and Clown had "set
it np" on tho English and tho Yankees
in Knglund, but after the family enter
ed otbor torrilory they were treated
as otbor people aro.
liNTUTSlAsnc. Some Radicals who
lack tho requisites necessary to deport
themselves modestly before their fel
lows, call themselves "btul wart Repub
licans," in admiration of tbe Senator
from Muilio Bluine who, to llieir
eye, is a model Radical. Tho Knox
villo (Tenn.) Tribune in alluding to
this sentiment says that tho stalwart
Republicans are wrestling wilb this
conundrum : "How they con be ex
pected to teach their children that
Tennessee Democrats are vile traitors
for having sent ishman G, Harris to
tlio United Stutes Senate, while their
own President, by the grace of Wells
and Bradley, sends Henry W. Milliard,
tbe military leaguor, to tho Court of
Brazil." That is a pretty good clinch
er. But these Radicals can swallow
an 8 to 7 fraud as easily as they could
a cherry seed. Tho Radical lead
ers inherited no conscience, and arc
therefore ready to violato ooiutlilulions,
oaths and public and privato rights lor
party success.
Not ?or Hayes. Messrs. Jas. G.
Blaino & Co., who led tho advancing
column in the Maino Radicul State
Convention last week, aro of courso re
sponsible for defeating tlio following :
HeoUtd, That we reaffirm our unshakrn con

This is ono of tho plunks kicked out
