- The report ol tho Superintendent ol

of the United Stat. to be 50,152,800.
PzriiaI'S. An oxebango Bays : per

Olivor like Simon did with tho widow.
Don't forget to givo our first page
some attention this week especially
the Ttah question, the Philadelphia
depot, and tho miscellaneous matter
found thereon.
Alarmed. TheClmmborflbuigfyiri'
says that tho decent members of tho
KcpuDiicnn party in tbis Stato are in a
trouble of doubt and (ear to-duy. Tbey
don't know what tho Camerons may
concludo to do with them.
A Lisbon. On tho fourth pago ol
our issue of the 19th instant, wo pub
lished tho stnlemont ol ex-Scnalor L'oxe,
bearing upon tho oxpenses ol a candi
date lor oflico tinder the now Consti

a candidate for oRloo in the future
should read this statement.

the Brookville Rejiubtican, has been
ro-appointcd Transcribing Clerk in tho
Senato, and V. C. Smith has received
the appointment of Assistant Mcssen
gor in the House, while another Weav
er is Consul at Vienna.
How an Editor was Deceived
Homo philanthropist Bent a lliblo to a
Milwaukco editor in hopes ot doing
him some good, and ho thought it was
a new publication and wroto a roviow
of it in which he said the production
was a failure. It' it was intended for
a novel it lacked pint, and if for a his
tory it was full of improbnblo incident.
Ho couldn't recommend it.
To.nuressionai, llniBERV On our
fonrth page will be found a startling
statement made by George Francis
Train, who Irom 1804 to 1872 was an
insider in tho Union Pacific Railroad
swindle. His statement should be read
in every school room in the Union, and
all future Credit Mobilicr dealers be
put op the lookout.
.Rebels All. The new Declaration
of Independence hs been published
by tho anti Cameron members of tbo
Legislature. They might have con
densed it into fewer words. Tbey
refuse longer to bo controlled by
thieves, bribers and scoundrels; but
they will compromise and hereafter
associato and voto with them, provid
ing tbey get a satisfactory Senator
and fair division of the spoils.
Hi Sees it. Let nobody mako any
mistake about Mr. lllsino's Presiden
tial aspirations. It ia given out that
ho has abandoned all bopo of tho nom
ination in 1884. As Secretary of
State ho will have just as good an op
portunity ol gotting himsell in trim
for the nomination as though ho still
remained in tho Senate. Besides it
must be remembered that Presidential
lightning never strikes a Senator.
Good Positions. Wo notico that
the President of the State Senate has
appointed our State Senator, Hon. p.
T. Alexander, to positions on tho most
Important Committees in that body,
via : Kodoral isolations, Judiciary
(General), Finance, and Apportion
ment. The Senator will hare a lively
time if he meets with all these Com
mittees and attends to his place on the
floor.
On Committees. Wo notico that
Speaker Hewitt lias placed our mem
ber of the House. James Flynn, on 6ve
very important Committees, vis: Min
ing, Manufacturing, Corporations, Hail
roads, and Legislative Apportionment
These are all working Committees, and
the member! are usually kept busy
when the IIouso is not in session, es
pecially those who aro disposed to
work and fill their places in that body,
Wao Can Tell? If oar Court was
oomposod of three Radical Judges, we
wonder how many Democrats would
be appointed as tipstaves, road view
era, etc. Let somebody guess. More :
We notice that somo of thoso who get
staff appointments belong to that class
who bare their taxes paid and then
must be hauled to the olection house.
It Is uphill work to build np a party
when our fiicnds cut from behind in
tbii manner.

11 OW YIRTVOVS THEY TRY
TO AI'PKAU AO II'.
Because General l'luiste.l, the peo
ple's choice lor Governor in Maine, bus
been permitted to take bis sent, tlioro
is a chorus laudation from the whole
organic choir. "Heboid I he virtue of
us," they proudly cry. We could liavo
counted our man in, hut wo refused to
doit. Suys one of the organs : cav
ing out of the question the intent of'
tho voter, which the committee wore
not bound to consider, the Fusion can
didate did not receive a majority ol
the votes, and under tho letter of tho
law was not legally elected." This is
the doctrine in Maine in the year of
grace 1880, hut it wasn't tho doctriue
that carried tho day in Tlonda and
Louisiana in 1876. Tho intent of tho
voters, who gave Tilden 8,000 majori
ty in the latter and 200 or 300 in tho
former Stato, found no advocate in the
committee that adjudicated those elec
tions. It is, on the whole; a novel ex
hibition this felicitating over the seat
ing ol a mail not legally elected. If
Mr. Plaistcd be not legally elected, a
crime has been committod in foisting
him into the oflico of Gorernor, and if
ho bo a law-abiding citir.cn he will
scorn to take tho place. Hut tho ar
guments ol the organs are not of a
piece. The Fusion claim to tho office
at the previous olection was based upon
other than technical errors. The Fu
sionist was eutitlcd to tho office, as bis
partisans claimed, becauso ot wllltul
frauds on the part of local canvassing
Boards, frauds which rccontly publish
ed documents of ex Governor Cham
berlain go to prove established. In
tho matter ol fraud, subornation and
perjury the oigans would do well to
maintain a silence, which will bo more
than discretion while 8 to 7, Anderson
and Louisiana aro still fresh in the
memory of men.
Conscience in Motion. The Lew
town Democrat remarks : "The growth
ot conscientiousness among public offi
cials is positively encouraging. Close
upon the resignation of Senator-elect
Coxo, who could not tako tho oath of
oflico bocauso he bad treated somo
friends to oysters in tbo lalo campaign
and indulged in other expenditures not
in accordance with tho letter of tho
law, is tho action of our own noble
Senator, Mr. Smiley, who withdrew
from the lato f arty caucus in obedi
ence to tho dictutcs of bis inward mon
itor. Tho people of tbis district are to
bo congratulated on having a Senator
who is a licpublican and at tho same
time confesses to the possession of a
conscience. Still another case, andono
of striking infrequency: Tho keeper
of the Chester county prison has peti
tioned the County Commissioners for
it reduction of his salary on tho plea
that tho service bo renders does not
warrant tbo pay awarded it. This in
dicates that tho now year is starting
out remurkably woll, and we are
awaiting somo moro prominent devel
opments from conscience-stricken office
holders. Wo may even anticipate that
tho President-elect will return to the
beirs of Oukes Ames the 1329 borrow
ed of that gentleman in 1873."
A Blaine ism. Tho llarrisburg Pa
triot says: "Senator Blaine, it appears,
takes a friendly interest in tho Sena
torial contest in Pennsylvania. This
doubtless is duo to the fact that Mr.
Dlaino is a native ol tho Stato. But
what is surprising in tho matter is that
ho is decidedly in favor of tho election
of Mr. Oliver. Less than a rear aco
the men who aro now rovolting against
tho Camoron caucus were engaged in
a desperate struggle to give Blaine tho
delegation in tho National Convention
for Presidont of the United States.
Tbey did not secceed in carrying for
him the delegation, but they defoated
tho purpose of turning it over solidly
to Grant. It is true that James Mo-
Manes, one ol the Blaine leaders, has
joined hands with Senator Cameron in
tbis contest, and tbis may acoount for
tho apparent change in tho position of
Blaino. Finding Cameron and Mc
Manes once more united, Blaine Bhakos
off his old friends in Pennsylvania with
tho versatility of an accomplished poli
tician. But Mr. Blaino will discover
that tho election of Olivor is too heavy
a contract even though he bring bis
peacelul influence to the aid ol the ma
chine. He cannot help Oliver, but he
can latally compromise himsell by in
tor-meddling at tbis crisis in the politics
of Pennsylvania."
Plain Talk. Tho Philadelphia
North American, the oldest and most
conservative Radical organ in the coun
try, in alluding to the Sonatnrial ques
tion the other day, remarked :
The Independent Rcr-unlicuos will throw them,
tolroi Into tho contest with en ftraor toot ii aene
tho kit active, and that It li not born of pereonel
milt aad ooihittoi. Thotr power hoi hen suf

The people oieeted bin, nod the people oipeetod

The Kirrni.io has not Been Nio
oardlt Toward Grant. Tho Pitta
burgh Chronicle doesn't like Hayes'
recommendation that a lifo ofTloe be
giron to Grant. It ponrs a regular
broadside into him. There's much
method in the Chronicle' i reasoning.
It hits the nail on the head when it
says :
Tho Repoblle hee not been nlgcardlr with Ooa-
erftl tireat or hie family. If ho wero ft ten-Umee
grantor enldler una ho la acknowledged to bo,
there ia n limit tft worship of n oeldier if wewenld
proeervo the lendmftrka oitabllihed by the men
nbo built the Republlo.
Perplexino. The trial of Farnell
and his colleagues in the Land League
drags wearily along. Thoro ia no
longer any hope of conviction, and the
crown lawyers are about as much per
plexed how to get out ot the dilemma
decently, as tho fellow that bad the
bear by the tail, who found it danger
ous to hold on, and was alrald to let go.
Oct Growth. The population ol
the United States is officially annoan
cod at 50,152,800. This indicates ex
traordinary growth, but the country
ia large enough for still groater expan
sion in population. Even if emigra
tion should ocase the natural Increase
would In ten years add an enormous
figure to the next census.

Totel Republleaoi li, Democrats IS.
The Democrats in the Leiuhla
Tire. It is quito amusing to read In
tho Radical papers in the vurious ideas
that prevail regarding the present
struggle ol their pKrty over tho Sena
torship question. The Grow organs
can discover no wrong in what his fol
lowers have done while the Cameron
oditors ran find no excus) for the
bolters. Tho Oemocralio minorit'
bothers both sides. Conflicting reports
prevail that tho lutter will hedge up to
Grow and elect him, or that they have
determined to rally to the support of
Oliver and send him to Washington.
In cither case the Democratic vote is
alleged to be hold in reserve subject to
tho best bargain that can bo mudo
with regard to the apportionment
business. So fur we have nodirect in
formation that tho Democrats mean to
do anything else than stand by and
vote lor Wallace. We have groat faith
in the leaders of our party in tbo Leg
islature, and we aro quito sure thai
nothing will be dono to compromise its
integrity or effect its rocord for loyalty.
Leoally Settled. John Gorbracht,
a traveling salesman, took orders in
Mercer county for liquors, and sent
them to the house employing him in
Eric, by which houso the liquors were
delivered. Gorbracht wos indictod in
Mercer county for selling liquor with
out license, and was convicted. Justice
Storrett, of the Supreme Court, says :
"To constitute a sale of personal prop
erty, ospeciitlly iindor a penal staluo,
there must bo a transfer of the title for
a certain consideration. Orders for
goods may be received, but until the
goods aro transferred or set apart lor
the purpose tho sale is incomplete.
Delivery, cither constructive or actual,
is an essential ingredient in tho sale ot
perMonul property. An agreement to
sell is only executory until tho contract
uncompleted by delivery. In this caso,
therefore, there was no sale in Mercer
county, and tho judgment must bo re
versed.
A Xr.w Feature. Tho Altoona
Tribune baa the following : Owing to
the enormous increaso ol tho mail car
ried over tho main stem or the Penn
sylvania Railroad, between New York
and the West, the postal authorities
have revived the consideration of the
expediency ot placing on this route a
train made up of entirely postal cars.
They believe that with a high ralo of
speed and a large lorco ol clerks, tho
present facilities of quick transporta
tion can be increased. Under existing
arrangements the accommodations are
inadequate, relief is early demanded
from tho accumulation of mail matter
at both onds ol the lino. Tho direct
ness of the route, and the completeness
of the facilities have made tho Penn
sylvania lino by far tbo greatest mail
carrying route in tho country.
Be Patriotic Young men who
aro ambitious to acquiro distinction in
the public service ol thoir Stato and
their country could hardly ak tor a
more promising opportunity than now
offers itself in popularizing the Demo
cratic party. Tbo licpublican party
has grown fat and corrupt on the
spoils of office ; it now staggers undi r
tho demoralising influenco of long and
continuous possession of power ; and
it has shitted the grounds on which it
rests Irom high principlo to low expe
diency. Serve a lofty personal ambi
tion, and your country as well, by
joining and pushing forward tho Dem
ocratic party.
The Naked Truth. Four years
ago a number of political burglars,
highwaymen and "Christian States
men" (?) stole tbe Presidency, and put
a man in that position who was never
elected becauso Tilden was elected
and was too modest to claim tho place
or to swear out a warrant to recover
the goods stolen from him and the
people. Hence a man named Hayes,
an Ohio man, lias drawn 1200,000 out
of tho Treasury as a salury during tho
past four years, notwithstanding bo
was not electod. What a spectacle
lor freemen to gase upon I
An Outraoe. Tbe unjustifiable ac
tion of Governor Murray, of Utah, In
counting out Cannon, the delegate
elect to Congress, and giving a certifi
cate to Campbell, his competitor, who
was defeated by a very largo mojority,
is universally condemned. If a Gov
ernor may thus elect representatives
of the people at will, elections might
as woll be dispensed with. Jt is a dan
gorous assumption of power and ought
not to be accepted under any circoru
stances.
A Cheap "Bolt". The llarrisburg
Patriot says that when denounced as
"bolters" by angry partisans of tbe
machine Mr. Wolfe and his pious asso
ciates roll np thoir eyes and fervently
exclaim in the language ol Jas. Free
man Clarke, "if anything In American
politics is Unavon born it ia a boll."
The "boll" that Wolfe and his party
are engaged in is not very dangorous.
There are no guns on the other side.
J . L L
Wi Second the Motion. Tbe
American, tbe new Republican lilcrarr
journal of Philadelphia, expresses the
opinion that it would be far better to
re-eloct Senator Wallace than to sub
mit to Cameron's selection of ons ol
his "puppets." Tbis will have a tend
enoy to bring "them d d litorsry
fellers" into furtbsr contempt witb the
maculae managera.
A Had Wav Oct ut' Tnoi uus On
Christinas night the President-elect ol
tho Swiss Coiilederution shot himself
dead. In one weik ho was to take
office. This event roi ulls the astonish.
ing statement ol Colonel Donn I'iall in
regard to bin intiniatr Ineiid. the I res
ident l ici t ol li e United Slates. Ac-
cording to Colonel Piatt's testimony
there we one dink hour in General
Garfield's life when suicide was nclu
allr contemplated br him. ' Life itself
seemed so horrible," s3's Gonorul Gur
field's friend, "that an escape from it
was a temptation." At tho time to
which Colonel Donn Piatt refers, Gen
oral Garfield was threatened with an
exposure which meant disgrucc, and,
ns he then believed, political ruin. He
was summoned to the witness stand to
bo put under oath. He hud to choose
between confession and a perjured do
mill. Hesitating before this altema
live, ho for a whilo was tempted to
self destruction us the easiest solution
of his troubles. It is not known whoso
influenco prevented Geneial Garfield
Irora doing what tho President elect of
tho Swiss liepublie has just dono. If
it was his friend Donn Piatt who per
suaded him of the folly and wicked-
nesB of tho plan, then Garfield owes
Piatt one of the greatest debts which
ono man can owe another.
War, Horrible War Tho conflict
that baa been going on for the past
eighteen months between the Republics,
ot Chili and Peru, in South America,
wo bono is about closed out. Tbe
latest advices from that continent are
to tho effect that a battle took placo
on tho 17th, in which tho Chilians were
victorious, and Lima, tho Capital ot
Peru, is now oocupioj by tho enemy.
The fierceness of tho battle can bo im
aginod from the fact that only 25,000
troops wero engaged on tbo side of the
Peruvians, and they did not surrender
until 7,000 wero killed, 8,000 wounded,
and 2,000 taken prisoners. This war
has attracted but -little attention in
this country because. It was so far off ;
but all civilized governments should
take steps to bring it to a close. It is
simply a lumily quarrel between the
loading families of the two Republics.
Nothing more is involved. We are
pleased to leant that tho plenipoten
tiaries of foreign nations resident in
Lima have succeeded in securing ar
mistice, and that active hostilities will
ooase for tho present, and wo hopo for
all time.
"Those Reueu." An exchango
says: Kx-Conledenitn Generals are,
muny of them, achieving lame and for
tune in rosier paths than of old. Mujor
General Mnrmaduke is a Missouri rail
way commissioner, and, as a bachelor,
lives comfortably in St. Louis on a
salary of 83,000 a year. General J. B.
Gordon, us counsel lor tho Louisville
and Nitshvillo road, gets a salary of
814,000. Mnjor General F. 11. Cheat
ham has a handsome farm in Tennes
see. General Tombs practices law,
and is very rich. Ucnerul Basil Duko
is a lawyer in Louisville, and has a
good income ; Gencrul Bradley John
ston is. also getting rich in the sumo
profession in Baltimore. All the sons
of Robert E. Lee, excepting one, are
moderately successful farmers in Vir
ginia. Tbe exception, Custis Lee, sue
ceedod his father as President of Wash-ignton-Lee
University. General Jubul
Eurly is living quietly at Lynchburg
in comfortable circumstances. General
J. C. Pomberton has become a resident
of Philadelphia, ia an invalid, and has
written a book on Vicksburg.
Well Said. Tho Washington Re
public remarks: "1 would suggost to
Senator Burnside and the other re
doubtable champions of "the Monroe
doctrine" that,instoud of making them
selves and Congress and tbe country
ridiculous by setting up such a scaro
crow against De Lossops and tho Pa
nama Canal Company, they would bo
much better occupied in turning their
attention to tho means to be employed
in restoring the foreign coinmurco of
tho Unitod States so that, when that
cbannol is opened between the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, we may have line
ol steamships ready to avail themselves
of tbe opportunity of establishing a
lucrative trade with tho countries of
Asia and of the western coast of South
America."
Not the Plaob. Wo nutioo that
Senator Hull has introduced a bill in
the Stato Senate, fixing the sessions of
tho Supremo Court to bo hold perma
nently in Philadelphia. This is all
wrong. The sittings should be at a
fixed place, wo confess, and quit this
thing of lugging the Court from one end
of the Slate to tho other ; but the State
Capitol is tho spot right by the side,
of one of tbe best libraries in tho coun
try. If tho Judges want to livo In
Philadelphia, or Pittsburgh, or else
whoro, all right ; but tho Court should
be bold at llarrisburg. There is bad
enough in tho (Junker City, whilo the
State Capital cun stand a littlo more,
and besides it will make the location
nearly central.
Prophetic Here ia a itepublican
estimate of Conkling, clipped from the
Cincinnati Commercial : "It is impos
sible to run tho administration so as to
plcaso Conkling. He has too many
littlo ways that aro important to him
and too many enmities and hates and
sneers and prejudices. His great abil
ity is conceded, but his impracticabili
ty ia still grcator. If Garfield had
forty years of Presidential life before
him it would tako him tho whole time
to reward Conkhng's friends and pun
ish bis enemies. It is nut wnrth while
to spend four years in efforts that
must be ineffectual.''
The Hioht Men. The members of
the Stato Editorial Association, which
mot at llarrisburg last week, elected
Hon. Thomas Chalfant, ol tho Dan
fillo Intelligencer, President, and re
elected our veteran Secretary, Mr. R.
S. Mcnamin, of tho Printer!' Circular,
Philadelphia. Without cither one of
these fiist-class fellows to manage it,
an excursion would be a failure. With
both to engineer ns, success must sc
company tbo crowd wherever our lot
may be cast.
Third TxaM at Last. Wo notice
that Grant bas boon made President
of the World's Fair, to be held in
New York in 1833. We hope the
man and his friends will be happy now,
and will ect,lo down since the third
term bss been tbrast upon him by the
oSioers of the great Fair.
, SgtiAUK Ki.M.iaK Tho excessive
cold weulher has entailed an amount
ol distress upon the poor class at the
Federal Capital, never before witness
ed. Tho Waehington Rrnubtie. in al
luding to this matter, hit "the Gov
ernment" right botwoen the cyceafror
this fashion: "By the way, bow much
did Mr. Hayes give to relieve tho ler
riblo suffering in tho Nation's Capital t
No man in . Washington receives as
much money from trTc Government,
and ho is tho only man in the country
wuo saves lorly uionsunu uoiiuis a
year from his salary. I have seen
severul gentlemen through whose
hands the contributions passed, and
they say nothing has boon received
from the President. If Mr. Hayes had
any national pride, any respect for the
office he holds, any appreciation of
what uro known ts 'the proprieties' in
bis great office, or any sympathy with
or anxiety about the sick and lowly,
bo would blush with shamo when lie
contemplates the ignominious fact that
tho representatives of foreign coun
tries gave liberally to tho suffering
poor ol the Capital city, while tbe
President of the great country kept
bis hundreds cf thousands of dollars
closely biiltonid itlt'ii his miserly
pockets. But Mr. Hayes thinks of
nothing but binself."
A nsENT Friinds. The editor of tho
Cambria Erccmin chimes in on an old
question in rwis way: William II.
Keinblo Iks no
not honored llarrisburg
witb bis trcsence thus far during tbo
presont session. Tbis is somewhat
strangcin as much as Hurry Olivor
wrote sstrong letter to the Pardon
Board b his behalf, basing it on the
ground that while Kemblu bad done
wrongin attempting to flocco tho Stato
out of four millions of dollars to pny
tbo ria losses, bo was justified in doing
so becittse, according to Oliver's codo
of morula, Allegheny county would
then to made whole a kind of rob
bing Peter to pay Paul operation.
But tomble'a titno will come yet when
tho low bill to indemnify Allegheny
county for tbe amount she has paid
fur property destroyed in the riots
conns up lor consideration. The sum
whiih tbe Stato will be asked to pay
is $500,000, that being tho amount
at wiicb the Iosncs were compromised
and tho money paid by tho county.
Mr. Quay will then, perhaps, send for
him tnd again permit him, its he did
two Jcars ago, to make his btadquar
tors ii his (Quay's) office.
SpiiaiH'e on ('onkmno fjovemor
Sprain is preparing bis answer to the

When asked about it be said the docu
ment ug!u to make a vacancy in the
U. S. 8ennto. Being questioned fur
tlior if io meant to bring Senator Conk

oxposiig him. I will show the man
who at'empls that to be a villian and
moral liper. I will follow him and ex
pose bin. I will show the teiriblo
stato of affairs which has been going
on for years and which I have borne
quietly as long as I can. My answer
will satisfy the public as to tbe person
who has caused all this trouble.1'
We Hope So. It is rumored, and all
decent poople will hope the rumor is
true, that the Sprague divorce suit will
bo sotlled without coming to a publio
trial. If this be true a vast amount of
nastiness will be kept from public viow.
Tho Cliristiancy suits promises to ba
fully able to supply whatuvor there
may ba of publio demand for that sort
ol moral garbage Those tony divorco
cases like thoso always yiold an hun
dred per cent, more scandal than tho
ordinary cases. It would bo woll for
socioly il tho transactions could be
smothered instead of being vontilatod.
Correct. Tho Inter-Ocean, of Don
vor, Colorado, is ol tho opinion that the
wile of tbo Secrotary of the Slate con,
if she has any ability at all, become the
leader of the social world at Washing
ton. She is on terms with tho lega
tions that enahle her to exercise almost
a consorsbip over society. If called
upon tocltooso an office for her hus
band, there is not ono political matron
in a hundred who would not unhesi
tatingly put her finger down on the
Department of Stuto.
A Good Suggestion. Tho Altoona
Sun puts the case in this way : "Tbo
Democrats of the Legislature have
nominated Mr. Wallace as their candi
date for the United Slates Senate.
Now, let all thoso Republicans who aro
dissatisfied with the rule of the ma
chine, voto for Mr. Wallace, and they
will see how easily his election will bo
accomplished, and how relieved their
conscicncoa will feel aflor such an act
of patriotism."
It Looks Popish. An exchango
says : "Our Republican Auditor Gon
crul elect, Lemon, a few days ago pre
sonted a Catholic priest at Holliduys
burg with a gold beaded cano said to
be worth one hundred and fifty dollars.
This is torriblo rows to the Know
Nothing instincts of his party, but it
nevertheless seems to be truo. Mr.
Lemon is rather too liberal minded a
gentleman to be a full-blooded Radical."
What Trourle. Garfield has ro
ooived a potition from Columbus, O.,
signed by a large number of politicians
and business men, asking that Govern
or Foster be appointed to a place in
the Ciibinot. A lettor was also re
ceived from Governor Foster, protest
ing against the "ofHciousncss of his
friends" snd declaring that be wai not
responsible in any way for their ac
tions. Arthur Gets a Black Et Tbe
olection ol Thomas C. Piatt as United
States Senator from tho Statu of Now
York is a galling defeat to Vice President-elect
Arthur. Dan is Governor
Cornell's men, and Arthur and Cornell

Tbe Republican "machine" is causing

A correspondent of tho New York
Tribune, writing front liraill'ord, ex
presses his belief Unit Ihe situation In
that prolific field has (In idedly changed
from that ol over production to ono of
decided dccreusii in the yield, and de
clares thui unless some other grctil oil
producing region is very soon brought
to light, the consumers and not the
producers will huvo cause lor anxiety.
The sluteinunl is a very fair one. and
tho writer appears to have grasped his
subject iiiiderhtiindingly. The situa
tion, ho says, suems to be as follows :
"Tho Bradford oil Held is rapidly
following in tho footsteps ol the Oil
Creek, Butler and Clarion districts,
the decline in production being steady
and rapid. Oil Creek, that at ono
lime supplied tho world with oil, now
produces less thuu 1,000 barrels a day,
w bile tho Butler and Clarion districts
that once put forth 10,000 barrels daily,
are now known us tilm-., u,i,.,A nl.i

(iietm. in uaiiur worus, me IJruulord
liold must now produce tho oil, and it
is beyond question that this field is
now on ihe downward giade. Ono ol
the strongest indications of this fact is
found in tho decline of now work. This
is not caused by the inactivity of the
producers, but by tho lack ol availublo
territory in which toopurato. All pro
ducing territory is now in the hands
of actual operators, many of whom
wore anxious to hold their own with
out drilling until next yeur, when tbey
expected much better prices, knowing
that the field was limited. But in
nearly every case theso conservative
operators wero compelled to sink wells
in order to prevent their lands from
being drained through the drilling of
wreck less neighbors. Tho result has
been that to-duy they bco that they
will be out of work next year tor luck
of territory. But tho indivirlioil l,,-,l.

then, to tho immediate future of petro

New Judicial Districts The cen-
sus returns show that according to
tho Jlcw Constitution, tho present
Legislature will be called nnon to
form a number of new districts. Tbo
editor ol the Brookville Democrat, in
alluding to this question, states tho
facts in this way :
"The Stato Constitution renniron
that whenover a county shall contain
fortv tholisnnd inhnhitnntn it. ohnll
constituto a separate judicial district.
inn counties containing less than this
number shall be lormcd into conven

ous districts. Under this requirement
oi me sonsiitation tho Ijcgtsluture
will bo called upon this Winter to form
eight counties into separate districts
that have up to this time been unitod
wunoiner counties in tormingdistncts.
These counties aro Blair, Butlor, Cam

M'Kcan and Tioga. In several instan
ces il will bo necessary, probably, after
forming theso counties into separate

Tho question will doubtless arise,

DIVORCE THE STATE FROM
R cms ESS,
Tho York Vrest tells the naked .truth
In this way :
Is "a tariff for protection" to use
the common but inaccurate phrase
Constitutional T We do not tl nd it so
nrtminuled in the bond, Inasmuch as
all powers not plainly grunted are with
held, il is clear that Congress has not
tho right to legislate money out nil
tho pockets ul one class into the pock
ots of another. So fur as protection is
the necessary incident of the raising ol
revenue, there cun ho no question , but
when a tariff is made prohibitory, as
ours is with regard lo muny leuding
articles, it ceases to produce any rev
ctmo whatever, and its sole operation in
to force the American consumer lo buy
of tho American muntifacturer,at prices
fixed by the hitler. This is not, strictly
speaking, protecting anybody; it is
merely an artifieial arrangement by
which a small class of men are enrich
ed at the expense of all other classes.
Does "protection proloct 1"' We have
partially answered abovo. It clearly
docs not protect those and they are
tho multitude whom it confines to
ono market and compels to pay more
than tho merchandise can be had lor
in tho markets of the world. Nor does
it nppcnr to protect tho manufacturers
themsulvcs. Every unnatural condi.
lion imposed upon commerce or pro
duction lends more or less directly lo
disastrous crises. High prices, pro
duced by a monopoly of tho market,
from which the Ibreign competitor is
excluded by law, induces over produc
tion, glut, and ruin to the very persons
who thought themselves protected
againsl all chances. So we see period
ical ups and downs in tho iron business,
tho period of unnatural high prices to
tho consumer ending with the period
of inaction to the capital engaged, anil
of deep and terrible distress to the men
thrown out ol work. Freedom is the
life of trade, monopoly is death.
The plea of "protection to American
industry," is an impudent pretense. Wo
havo never hoard ot a manufacturer
sharing with his men the profits which
ho reaps by reason of a prohibitory
tariff. He pockets tbem with cquu
nimily during the period of prosperity,
and when tho crash comes, that inevita
bly follows unnatural stimulus, he
shuts down, and thinks no moro ot
them than be doesof the "pauper labor
of Europe."
Our tariff neods revision and will be
revised. The monopolists, who are ab
sorbing millions, which are no more or
less than enormous bounties levied
upon tho sweat of labor to support the
luxury of a few a tax upon thewhmV
people to maintain the lords of the
furnace and the mill nnv thnt nnihintr
Bball bo done. But something will bej
done. 1 heir alliance with tho partv
rccontly successful by their aid will
not save them privileges so oppressive
to the rost ot us. Theso iuterests must
be divorced from the government. The
union is contrarv In tho wIioIh snirit
of our system. It we miiBt huvo nobles,
living upon tho proceeds of other men's
labor, for whose support the govern,
ment lovics a general tax, which does
not oven pass through tho treasury,
but goes directly into tho po'-kots of
Ihe luvorcd class, lei us have patents
ol nobility duly issued, and no more
pretenso about it.
POLITICS TODAY.
Sinco tho last Presidential election a
chango has overspread thopoliticul or
ganisations oi itie country. I lie de
feat of tho Democratic party, after tho
universal belief that tho nominoo ol
tho Cincinnati Convention would bo
successful, bus awakened tho masses
to a serious inquiry as to tho causes
which produced that disaster. In Now
York Juhn Kelly, ihe great Tammany
chieftain, has been dethroned, and a
vigorous effort is now being made in
Democratic circles to reorganiio the
broken fragments of the parly upon a
basis that will promise Democratic
success in the future. In Pennsylva
nia tho Republican forces, notwitb
ing the victory ol Novomber, are rap
idly becoming demoralised. A large
number of Republicans have separatod
themselves from the machine organi
zation, and, in refusing to go into tbo
Senatorial caucus, have openly defied
tho loaders. There is a loud cry for
reform in tho Republican ranks in
Philadelphia, ar.d a bold movement is
now on fool in that city which indi
cates good and practical results. The
meaning of all tbis is so plain that the
wayfaring man, though a fool, need
not err in reading its significance. It
clearly points out the fact that the
days of machino politics are numbered,
und that tbo pcoplo aro breaking away
from tho old leaders and intend bore
aflor to do their own thinking and
acling. For a long timo ihe masses of
botb parties have been governed and
controlled by a few bold and skillful
leaders. Tho only consideration that
animated them was personal interest
The publio good was always subordi
natcd to private agi;randiiemonl. Mr
Conkling, in Now York, would permit
no man to occupy official station un
less he wore the Conkling collar, and
Mr. Cameron, in Pennsylvania, trim
pled down every one who rclused to
bond the knee to bim. Equally dicta
lorial has boon the action of Demo
cratic leaders whore thcro was Demo
cratio ascendency, and good and true
wero oslracired and driven to tho wall
because thoy declined to pronounce
the shibboleth of a faction. It ia evi
dent, howovcr, thnt on botb of the
great parlies ol the country a new
light is breaking. Exactly what will
bo tbe n aull no one can foretell. Ol
