WBDNK8DAY MOHNINO, JAN. li. 1BSI.
Reader, If job want to know what ii going on
la the bnslneae world, Juet read our advertising
elarane, tbt fyeetai ootumD in nnrtleulnr.
Grow "Nina Years Ago," ou our
fourth pago,.ia Tory readable, docu
raent just now.
"Six Presidential Elections," on our
fourth page, should bo read and filed
away for future reference.
"Kudo," They call ug tlio Kcy
titono State in history ; but in reality
we are nothing more than the Cameron-Oliver
rancho.
Wo' are under obligations to Super
intendent Wickersham lor a copy o
hit annua! report of Common Schools.
It is an excellent statistical pamphlet.
Our first page is highly embellished
with good reading matter this week.
A perusal of "Snow bound on tho
Plains" will mako anybody shiver this
season of tho year.
Wi Don't Know. Somo inquisitive
persons want to know whether the
Pittsburgh Oliver, whom Don. bas
shouldered, is a relative of tho widow
who annoyed tho luto Secretary, Min
istor and senior Senator so much.
Thanks. Governor lloyt bas our
thanks for an advance copy ol his
Message. It is a pretty good docu
ment ; but it is too long. However, as
he only gets a a whack at it onco in
two years, ho is compelled to say a
good deal.
IIow Different the Tine Thero
will bo no barm for tho Radicals to
oubI fifteen or twenty Democratic Con
gressmen, if wo take their word for it
It is highly reprehensible, according
to tho expression of tho samo persons,
for Democrats to oust Kellogg, of Lou
isiana, from his seat in the Senate, al
though he was chosen by a bogus Leg
islature.
Better Not Wait too Lonii. Those
colored brethren who want to help
President Garfield to run his adminis
tration under a full head of glory, and
can raiso tho necessary scrip, aro go
ing to tackle him with a Convention
in Washington as soon as bo gets
firmly seated. Delays are dangerous.
Belter go at it now and set tho Con
vention down tor a week or so at' Men
tor. The latch-string is always out.
In Place. We notice that our Sen
ator, Hon. C. T. Alexander, and onr
Representative, James Flynn, Esq.,
have hoth heon in thoir seats the pant
week. Their address during the ses
sion ol the Legislature will be Harris-
burg, where constituents can henr
Iron them much sooner than by writ
ing to their homes llcllefonto and
Smith's Mills.
A Safe Railboad to Travel on.
It is a remarkable and reassuring fuct,
especially to travelers, that tb,e lilo of
not a single passenger bas been lost
on tho Pennsylvania Railroad, between
Philadelphia and New York, in five
years. Tramps and pedestriuns and
employes have lost thoir lives by be
ing run over or jammed between the
oars, or falling off tho trains, but not a
single passenger has lost his lifo by a
smash-up, collision or any similar acci
dent, although thousands upon thou
sands pass over this lino daily.
A Prettt Hf.oroanizer. An ex
change says : "The lato Mayor Cooper,
who Samuol J. Tilden made Mayor of
.New lork city, two years ago, over
Augustus Schell, one of tho purest
Democrats in that city, because ho
would not put his neck under the Til
den yoke, just beforo he went out ol
office traded oft" more than half the
Municipal offices and patronage to Re
publicans for about seven years to
come, securing at tho samo lime sev
eral lut offices for his own relatives
and pets. For this valuablo scrvieo be
deems himself a fit agent 'to rcorgan
ire the Democracy.' "
No Go. Pbiladelphians are always
growling becanso that great city can
not have a Governor or a United
States Senator occasionally. The Ret
ord partly sees the point and romarks:
"The Pennsylvania Scnatorahip is still
an undeclared prixe for the lucky win-
ner. Neither Mr. Grow nor Mr. Oil
ver has an assured looting. Philadel
phia holds the key. If she were rep
resented by men of themselves capa
ble, or if ber representatives were capa
bly led, a citixen ol Philadelphia might
barig up bis bat in tho Senato cloak
room for tho next six years. Why do
not the Republican Business Men's
Committee of One Hundred turn their
Argus eyes and shake their Briaroan
fists in the direction of the Capital J"
The Great Debt. By the public
dobt statement, issnod from the Tress
ury Department on the 3d of January,
it appears that the aggregate amount
ol the Federal debt now roaches tho
torn of two billion one hundred and
twenty-one millions four hundred and
eighty one thousand four hundred and
sevonty-flre dollars and forty cents,
(12,121,481,475.40). This is about t42
apiece for every man, woman and child
in the United. State. The highest point
ever reached by our public debt was in
18CS, the year after tho closo of tho
war of the Rebellion, when it stood at
12,773,230,173 GO. The decrease since
that time ia 1651,764,698 29, or nearly
24 per cent, which ia a very fair show
ing, la 1835, during the second term
of Andrew Jackson, the debt waa ex
pressed by the fewest figures, being
only 137,613.03. The dobt on Jan
nary 1, 1791, was 175,463,470 51 At
lb beginning ol 1816 it waa 1127,
334,933.74, a larger sum than at any
period in the history of the country
previous to the recent war. I

(itivcrnnr lloyt, in his recent annual (
mcssagu to thu Legislature, thus ap-j
prujiriutely alludes lo ihe dcuth of our !
neighbor, ex-fiorornur Biglcr: j
'Tpun tlio morning of the !Hh day
uf'lat August, William Biuler (iivcl l

"The uianilold public services of Ibis
distinguished ciliccn gave loin high
rank among the servants of thu Suite,
and nude his dcuth a loss to the en-
tiro Commonwealth.
'Ho was born in 1813, at Shermans
burg, in Cumberland county, but in
very early lifo removed to Mercer
county, and soon afterwards made bis
home in Clearfield. Hero he engaged
and prospered in the lumber business,
and quietly guined tho respect and
confidence ol bis fellow-citizen.
"Ho was thrice elected a member of
tho State Senate, and was onco chosen
rts President. - Ho was appointed one
of the Board of Revenuo Commission
ers to apportion among the different
counties of tho State the taxoa to be
paid upon real and personal property.
"In 1S51 be was elected Governor
of this Commonwealth, and in 1655
was chosen to represent Pennsylvania
in tho Senate ol the United States.
"In 1873 ho became a member ol
tuo Convention wbicu Irumcu our
present Constitution, and took an im
portant part in its deliberations. His
latest public services were given to the
United States Centennial Commission,
and greatly contributed to the success
of our Ccntenniul exhibition. Vary
ing as were the demands mado upon
his character and ability by those dif
fering .public trusts, he proved equal
to them all, and amply justified tho
wide confidence the people had so re
peatedly roposcd in him.
"His life ol civie usefulness was fit
tingly closed by a death ol Christian
peace."
State Growth. Tho Philadelphia
Record, of a rccont date, draws tho fol
lowing comparison : "Pennsylvania is
slowly but surely gaining in popula
tion as compared with Now York.
During tho last ten years the gain is
55,000. It is only the enormous gains
in Now York city and Brooklyn in the
past ten years that bold New York in
its placo as the Empire State. II tho
population of New York and Brooklyn
bo deducted from the population of the
State of Now York there romain 8,309,.
8Hi. If the population ol Philadelphia
be deducted from the population of
Pennsylvania tho remainder is 3,435,-
754. Tho increase of tho population
of Now York outside ol her metropol
itan cities for the past ton years has
been 290,fl38. Tho increase of the pop
ulation ol Pennsylvania in ten years,
oxcluding Philadelphia, has been 007,
405. Tho explanation of this disparity
doubtless lies in tho fuct that tho in
ternal resources of Now York have
reached a stage of development whore
thero is a natural halt in her rate of
progress. Pennsylvania, on the other
hand, has barely uncovered bor treas
ures of iron and coal, and must koep
pace for years to come with the more
rapidly growing States. If a littlo of
tho commercial activity that animates
tho city of New York could be trans
ferred to this city the next census
might put Pennsylvania in the lead,

A Good Illustration The editor
of tbo Philadelphia Record has a sly
way of giving the tariff advocates a
good dig occasionally. Hero is a sam

That is a point well taken. Tax
40,000 wheat farmers and 60,000 corn
farmers for the benefit of this one 200

there is in a tariff for protection. Tax

The Count. It la difficult to soo
how Congress is to avoid discussing
tbo electoral count businoss, since the
count and declaration of the Presiden
tial vote comes In February, and has
to bo provided for by the prior adop.
tion of some rule to govern it. There
is no need, however, of wasting time
over the matter prematurely. Con
gress should first address itself to tho
passage of the appropriation bills and
other absolutely necessary measures
for carrying on the Government.

of the Senate, and Thomas H. Coch
rane, of Lancaster, as Chief Clerk.
The Democrats supported J. K. Fntince,
of Philadelphia, for Speaker ol the
House, and John U. Hull, of Elk, for
President of the Senate. All tho offl
cers elected aro Radicals. Mr, Howitt
is far above tbe avorago material out
of which the Radicals havo been male
ing Speakers for the past filtocn years;
but tbo Clerk Uuhn is a disgrace
to civilization. He Is one of Philadel
phia's polished rogues. Thoso men
who aro "controlled by grand morul
ideas" olten make fun ol tho Demo
crats, because Alderman McMullen
talks Democracy fearlossly sometimes,
but ho is a gentleman compared to tho
new Clerk of tho House. The Gov
ernor's Mcssago was read in both
Houses, after which thoy adjourned
until the next day. Tho first and most
important business ol tho session (lo
tho Republican mujority) will be tho
election of United States Senator,
which will bo held on tho third Tues-
day (IStb) of January, at 3 P. M. As
between tho Cameron and anti-Cameron
factions of tho Republican party,
the Democrats of Pennsylvania have

have been slaughtered as. easily as

The V. S. Senatorship. An ex
change gives our view in this way :
"The bitter fight amongst the Rcpub
Means at Harrishurg for the U. S. Son
atorship continues with unabated fury.
Grow and Oliver still being tho prin
cipal contestants. Tho party is for
Grow but Cameron is for Oliver. Fed
eral appointments, plunder and favor
is as freely promised by Cameron as
though Garfield bad nothing to do
with them other than to follow direc
tions, and money in any amount will
be used by Oliver. In tho end those
will win, oven if thero wcro not a Ro
publican in the Slate besides Don Cam
eron and Oliver in favor of the latter,
(and there aro not many others,) and
in defianco of tho protests of tbe whole
Radical party, if that were offered. It
is amusing toseo tho lirowsters, Kelly,
McMichacls, and all of Philadelphia
with its Republican majority of twenty
to thirty thousand, lloyt, (Juay, Cessna,
and tho wholo gang of Republican bell
wethers sitting in back seals, looking
upon the strugglo, without more influ
ence in tbe mutter than a dor.cn school
boys have t Slaves I"
Stand F.nEOT. Tho F.no Obterver
appropriately retrmrka: " 'Yo eannot
servo God and Mumiiioii.' A survunt
cannot obey two masters. Republi
can Senators and Representatives nt
Uarrisburg aro eithei for the Cameron
ring or against it They must stand
up squarely on overy vote, on all oc
casions. Any temporising or bargain
ing with tbo enemy is like making
terms with Satan. Men who either
take Olivor's money, or Cameron's
promises of Fedoral or Stato official
patronage, will hereafter be classed
with the four million bribers, and cor
rupt lobbyists of 1878, and be scorned
by thcii constituents, who will class
them with the corruptionista who havo
long defiled the temple and disgraced
the State."
No "Civil Service." The Now
York Sun is outspoken against a civil
service system. It says: "Once let a
set ol even minor elorks gel firmly es
tablishcd in office, with a guarantee
of permanency a legal protection
against removal save by the action
ol a many-headed commission and
the aristocracy of office and the inso
lence of every potty official would be
gin to appear." More: In many of
our elective ofUcos, the incumbent Is
conceded a second term il he behaves
himself decently. After the second
election is over, the conduct ol nearly
all such officials andcrgoea a visible
chango. They aro not half as polite
to their constituents as they wero dur
ing the first term."
Hi SiiorLD Kx pla I N. People had
nearly, il not ontirely, forgotten about
thescandaloas moiety cases In the Now
York Custom House until Senator
Conkling mado revival of the history
necessary by bis headlong assault on
Senator Bayard through the newspa
pers. An explanation from Senator
Conkling regarding tho division ol tho
moieties plunder is now in order.
Those Mule Teams Tho friends
of Garfield claim that lio U a promo-
led mule driver. Well, be is going to
have rflore trouble with the team be Is
hitching into his Cabinet than ever ho
bad with the long eared animals he
drovo on the tow-path.
Good oh Claims A special from
Washington aays: "The Grcenbackors
are maturing plan ol action lor their
guidance in the neat Congress. They
claim that they bold tha balance of
power in tbe next House."

General Scbodeld, who has been re
lieved fs f tm coniniutid nt West Point
ou account of the t itl of the negro
cadet, Whllluker, 1ml whose enllre ac
tion throughout the cum', hnnoruhle,
dignified and puttmlic, bus been inler-
vicucd upon Ihe sill jett of proposed
changes at the military academy, and
bus suitl some viiy rensible things,
HetieWH with cuiiMiifiulilc concern
the evident intention of muking West
Point a sort of primary school instead
of uu academy for preparing young
men for their country's service, believ
ing that under tho proposed plau it
would be only a plitco for personal ad
vantage. This Is a patriotic and com
mon-senso view of tho mutter, and
should bo carelully considered by those
who intend to subvert a national in
stitution lor a personal end. Concern
ing Whittuker uud the colored ques
tion, the (iciicru! suid: "For nearly
lour years preceding tho Whittuker
affair the question of color was hardly
thought of by any ono at West Point,
it was understood by all hero that Iho
colored cadets stood upon tho sume
footing as all tho others. Hut it now
seems we were lur behind the demands
of tbe time. Wo ought, In somo way
or other which I cannot understand,
to havo brought ubout social intimacy
between cadet Whittuker and tho
whilo cadets. I certainly never imog
Ined that anybody expected such o
service from inc." And neither did
anyono else, except tho demagogues
who wished to make political capital
cut of tho affair. Farther on ho says
"It is impossible for mo to give up the
old West Point rule of giving every
fellow a luir chance and making him
'hoe his own row.' I do not know how
to mako officers ol an army by lifting
up tho meek and lowly. 1 would do
all in my power to lift them up, but if
they could not get up without lifting
I would tako euro not to put themnn
command of troops." Theso aro tho
words of a soldier who is proud of bis
profession, who would see it improved
and exalted rather than mado the tool
by which politicians can work thoir
own ends, If theso Republican ma
chine politicians succeed in making
West Point a negro nursery, our boast
ed military pride and gloiy will soon
become a furce and a subject for the
ridicule of the world. JVinwt (Ohio)

A Government Frkak. TheClevo
lund Plaindealer remarks thutGartlold
is not a very expert horseman, and he
sometimes shows a littlo absent-mind
edness tliut amuses his neighbors. Il
is his habit to drive to church on Sun
day with his fumily, unattended by a
servant, lie will not allow bis team
to stand out in the cold during service,
but unhitches and puts his horses in a
friend's barn near tbe church. On
recent Sunday, alter service, be bitched
his spun of black colts to bis wagon
and forgot to buckle tbo lines to tho
bits. Tho consequence was that when
ho got into tho wagon and sturtcd the
team he camo very near having a rnn
away. When tho team was stopped
and tho lines buckled, an old farmer
gravely remarked : "General, you
will havo to do better than that when
lake tho reins of government, or tbo
political mules will got away with you."
Tho old man had beard of the Oukes
Ames and tho DcGolyer mule tricks.
A Candid Man. A rare case of con
scientiousness was developed at tho
meeting of tho Legislature on Tuesday
a woek. Kckley U. Coxe, of lW-crno,
chosen to the Senate at the lato elec
tion, declined to take tho oath because
be nsed money for campaign purposes
unauthorised by law. He mndo a de
tailed statement of various items ol
expenditure, and thero was probably
not a Senator on tho floor who had not
used money in the samo way. Not
dollar was used for improper or cor
rupt purposes, and it is believed ho
has placed a forced construction on
the law. It is almost needless to add
that he is a Democrat. Wo havo no
doubt but two thirds of his fellow-Sen
ators went further than Mr. Coxo in
tho way ol using money, but they took
tho oath. Mr. Coxo resigned nnd lull
tbo chamber.
The Navv in Motion. Tho powor
of Mr. Iluyos to renew Secretary of
ur Ramsey's appointment as Acting
Secretary of the Navy, is brought to a
test by the refusal of the Warrant
Division to recognize tho right of Mr.
Ramsey to sign requisitions, pending
a decision upon this point by Attorney
General Devons, to whom tbo matter
has been referred, payment on all war
runts signed by Mr. Rumscy since his
reappointment are withheld. Th
step makes quite a stir in naval
circles. Hayes being driven into
corner, lie sent In the naino ol ono
Gen. Golf, ol Clarksburg, W. Vs., and
tho Senato at once confirmed him
Secretary of the Navy, thus relieving
Hayes from tho cheap dilemma into
which somo cheap adviser caused him
to fall.
The Gladiators. Both Grow and
Oliver were confident, am it was an
open question who was ahead until tho
preliminary caucus on Monday night,
for tho organization of the Legislature.
John M. Pomcroy, of Cbamhcrsburg,
was the Oliver enndiduto for Chairman
of the caucus, and 1. 1. McKoe.ol Phila
delphia, the (irow camlidute. A voto
resulted in 09 lor Tomeroy and 61 for
McKoo. This result was, ol course, a
great disappointment to Mr. Grow's
friends, who had confidently counted
upon a decided victory. It is not clear,
however, that all tbo opposition to Mr.
Grow will contro upon Mr. Olivor, a'
though all the indications aro in that
diroetion.
Zero Nearly Kverywiiere. The
nrescnt cold wavo reached noarlv
evnry soction of tho country. In Flor
ida, whero the roses bloom tbo year
round, ongalhered crops of oranges
and other fruit froio on the treos. Ice
formed everywhere. Think of tbe

This is something altogether unprece

It will bo remembered that tbo In
stitutes of 1875-76 and 1877 wero con
sidered at the tinio good Institutes',
and wero thought hard to exoel.
Tho total shows that 402 touchers and
102 directors attended them, and that
their entire cost was $751.50, of which
the county paid $382, or 51 per cent,
of thoir entire cost.
A change in tbo Stiporinlentlcncy
occurred in the yaw 187S ; and we tind
tho following record, which is very
crcdilublo to the present incumbent :
1878. Whole number ol teachers in
attendance, 185; number of directors
present, 34; entire cost of Institute,.
$510; drawn from County Treasury,
$75, or 34 per cent, of enliro cost.
1879. Whole number of ti'iichera
in oltcndunco, 210; number of direc
tors present, 20 ; enliro cost of Insti
tute, $520; amount paid by counly,
$142, or 27 porccut. of tho entire cost.
1880. Wholo number of teachcra
present, 235 ; number of directors, 100;
entire cost of Institute, $500 ; amount
paid by county, $12, or 8 per cent, of
the entire cost.
The summary of the years 1878-79
and I38O, shows that 030 touchers and
100 directors attended tbo Institutes,
an increase cf 228 teachers and 58 di
rectors over the throe preceding years
1 1 also shows that tho en tiro cost of these
three Institutes was $1,530.00, an in
crease of $778.50 over tho cost of the
throe preceding ones. The appropria
tion Irom the county was $359, or 23
fier cent, of tho entire cost, and $23
ess than was appropriated to the In
stitutes of 1875-70-77, which cost less
than one-half as much.
This certainly shows skillful man
agemont and a growth without a par
allel in the histnry ol the Slnlo.
Our neighboring counly of Centre,
shows that during tho yearn 1877 78-79,
their County Institutes wero attended
in the aggregate by 595 teachers and
70 directors. Tbo entire cost wus

THE CEXSUS.
Fifty millions is tbo aggregate pop
ulation of tbo United Stales as return
ed by the census of 1880.
When the first national census wus
taken, in 1790, tho population of thu
United Stales was 3,929,214. The
next decennial census showed an in
crease of thirty five per cent., and this
ratio of growth was maintained with ! and to tho conventions. The horde of
comparatively littlo variation up to! blackguards Irom Philadelphia who at

1800 to 1870 being but 22 05 percent., that city back for at least a decade of
but since 1870 this wonderful growth yeurs. Tho honest and earnest people
has been resumed, tho increaso during of the country may on particular oc-
the ten years passed being 30.8 per
cent. As agnation we already out
number Franco, Auslro Hungary, or
Gurmuny, and at tho sumo ratio of in
crease wo shall, al the close of the cen
tury, out number tho inhabitants ol
tho greal Russian Kmpirc itself.
Tho region of most rapid growth is
gradually shilling westward. Ten
years ago it was such States as Illinois
that showed the greatest increase. Al
ready Illinois has taken her placo
among the settled States, her percent
age of growth being a fraction less
than that of Pennsylvania, whilo Kan
sas shows a gain of 109 per cent., No
braska of 208 and Colorado 388 per
cent., since tho tanl census. Leaving
out tbo fur west, including tbo Pacific
coast, tho increase is pretty evenly dis
tributed, except in somo of tho New
F.ngland States, which scarcely hold
their own. In nineteen, or one hulf of
tbe thirty -eight States, tbe ratio of in
creaso varies only from 10 percent, in
New York to 30 per cont. in North
Carolina, and in thirteen of theso the
percentage is between 21 and 29. Tho
States which show the greatest growth,
outsido of thu group of now States in
the west, are Oregon, Texas, Minne
sota,Culifornia,Florida, South Carolina,
West Virginia, Mississippi, and lows,
all of which have increased their pop
ulation beyond tho average. In tho
caso of South Carolina tbo apparent in
oraso Is duo to tho defects of tho previ
ous census, but in the others it is doubt
less genuine. . Louisiana, Georgia and
Alabama have all increased more rup
idly than Wisconsin, Pennsylvania,
Illinois or Ohio, and it is plainly evi
dent thnl tho east, and what we have
heretofore regarded as the west, must
be gradually overshadowed and out
voted by newer regions.
WHITTA KER AXD HO WARD.
Tho first outcome ol General O. O.
Howard's appointment to tho com
mand at West Point is not of a sort to
make the public forgot his unfortunate
collection with certain practical aspects
of the question of Ibo treed mon. He
seems lo bave secured a Court-Martial
for Cadet Whittakor from Prosidonl
ilaycs against the advanco of a major

vious to most grown persons in this
country that a measure of attention
has already been bestowed utton Cadet
Whittakor which certainly would not
havo been bestowed upon him had ho
boon born, unfortunate for himself, of
Irish, ol ivorman orol white American
parents. Hut it is as to West Point
and its prospects under its new super
intendent that this curious perform
unco will excite most anxioty and un
easiness among the intelligent men.
General Howard himself onco under

which was in direct conflict with an

Jutlgo Advocate General Holt could
not sland in tho way of overriding laws
and precedent must indood bave boon
rathor startling. Nevertheless Gon
Garfield, who is soon to be President
Garfield, during tho Forty-third Con

appropriation bill, "that there bo paid
to Major-Goncral O. O. Howard tbo
sum of 7,000 to roimburse him for his
expenses in defending his official con
duct as Commissioner of Frecdman's
affairs." Tho appropriation was killed
by a singlo question plainly nut to Gon.

Pennsylvania: "Does tho contloman

If Philadelphia wants United Stales
