The summer weather up to this time has been exceptionally agreeable ; the , days are not ODDreasivjjly n$,,ijw nights are cool and the song of the festive mos quito is not heard m this particular part of the land. Our peoplehaVie' been com fortable at home and coupacaUvelylew of them have felt the necessity of going on the usual summer tours and of mak ing their stay at the several watering places. Some of those who have gone, likely, would not have done so had not their preparations been made in antici pation of a hotter summer than we have or are likely toTja,jfs(tha powefbf the nun must henceforth weaken! ' The attenuated patronage of the sum mer resorts this season is not a fair test of their popularity, in view of the favor able conditions which it has offered for staying at home, but since these have afforded people the experience of, realiz ing how comfortable they can make themselves at home it is more than likely that this year of grace will date the be ginning of a reaction against the preva lent custom of going away. That a change in the ordinary modes and places of living, at least annually, is healthful and invigorating cannot be denied, and, for the dwellers in crowded cities es pecially, a run to the seashore and a stay in the country cannot fail to be salutary. But the custom has run to rank abuse of its main purposes and advantages. The re sorts have increased more rapidly than their iK-rinauent patronage will justify, and life at many of them has come to be attended with the too severe exactions of fashion and extravagance. The laws of hygiene and the common rules of com mon sense are violated in the require ments of many of the watering places to a degree that makes stay at them more burdensome than stay at home. What those who go away from home in summer want or ought to have are rest rather than dissi pation, pure air, good healthy food and such natural surroundings as will grat ify theinstinctive love of the beautiful which is common to the race. The places that furnish these at reasonable prices, whether by the seaside, on the mountains or in the country, will be permanently successful ; but the places that lack them or accompany them with drawbacks like mosquitoes, extortionate charges, incivilities of management or inconveniences of travel will dry up. The public were induced to assent to the increase of the salary of the presi dent from $25,000 to $-30,000 per year in view of the increased expenses of living and entertainment, and this has been the invariable apology made for it. But as the Sun points out, the appropriations made for the "White House are on such a scale that even the most extravagant style of keeping it up 'can hardly, suffice to expendjthe largo sums of money voted for its incidental expenses. Besides the president's salary the follow ing amounts are appropriated this year to the executive department : For refurnishing the executive mansion, $20,000 ; for care and repair of the ex ecutive mansion, $10,000 ; for fuel for the executive mansion, &c, $2,500 ; for care and repair of the conservatories, &c, $5,500 ; for lighting the executive mansion, $15,000 ; private secretary, $3,250 ; assistaul secretary, $2,2.50 ; two executive clerks, $2,000 each, $4,000 ; stenographer, .$1,800 ; one clerk, class four, $1,800; two clerks, class three. $1,C00 ach, $3,200 ; two clerks, class two, $1,400 each, $2,800; one clerk, class one, $1,200 ; steward, $1,800 ; one day usher, $1,200 ; five mes gangers, at $1,200 each, $6,000 ; two door keepers, at $1,200 each, $2,400 ; one night usher, $1,200 ; one watchman, $900 ; one fireman, $864; contingent expenses of the executive office, $8,000. Such appropria tions are made annually and inasmuch as it takes $20,000 every year tor re furnishing" the president's house, it would be interesting to know what be comes of the furniture bought and worn out yearly. $20,000 is a big pile of money to be expended annually in new furniture, even in a president's mansion. i It used to be that just about the time the Democrats(had a chance they threw it away. Things have changed. Now adays when people expect them to make fools of themselves they don't do it. Here in Pennsylvania when the prophets were predicting that the state conven tion would go all wrong, it went all right. It nominated a good ticket on a good platform, and started in the campaign under bright auspices which have not been dimmed. In Ohio, yesterday, the expected explosion did not take place. Each of the factions that were trying to get the party by the ears got a brain-clout to teach its members some sense, and each got enough recognition toprevent the effects of the blow from being fatal. The convention seems to nave run itself ; it gave the factionists to understand that none of them was as big as the whole party, nominated a good ticket and put it on a sound platform, which has no soft money nor soft soap nonsense in it. Down in Georgia, where there was to have been trouble accord ing to Republican calculations over the nomination of Alex H. Stephens for governor, the little old man had a walk over, his opponents gracefully joining in the reunion. Everything seems to be lovely. Our troubled Republican friends have our commiseration. Before the genial commander, qf , the Examiner craft went off to bathe his fevered brow;in the healing (waters of the White Sulphur, we trust -he left ample instructions to his party friends concern ing the management of the First ward oontesV'undertaken solely in the interest of honest elections" by' Commodore Hiestand, Deputy Collector C. F. Eber man, ex-Prison Clerk, C. D. Tripple and other aggrieved patriots. This investi gation ought not to- be delayed. "The cause of honest elections" may suffer.

U Mb-vBuctamsw, earnest Democrat and far-sighted publicist as he is, Sfeaks in terms of deserved commendation of the personnel of the Democratic state ticket, and indulges justifiable hopes of its election. Xojoung or old Democrat who is right in his bead and heart is moved by the silly-billy talk about differences between' ,f young Democrats" and " old Democrats" in Pennsylvania. There is only one' Democratic party in this state. It is bigj enough for honest men of all ages to get in and keep in without tramping on each other's toes, and it has need foj: the counsel of its old men and the enthusiasm of its yonng men in this campaign. It is assured of both. m Humjell is a civil service reformer. The people wouldn't have known it. But he is. An examination of the con gressional committees will disclose that the " select committee on civil service reform" consists largely of Hubbell and Orth. And bow Lear develops an attack of toothache. All Beaver needs is to have rope enough. He'll hang himself. Lost, strayed or stolen Commodore Hiestand's First ward election contest. Pat J. W. Johnson, e6q., on the trail. If Chairman Cooper contemplates the purchase of any portion of the Pennsylva nia vote he is staiting in early. A hare dressed in July is apt to spoil for Novem ber cooking. The celebrated Aruuah Huntingdon will case' has finally been settled at Brant ford, Ont., and the state of Vermont has received about $200,000 for its public school rand. Tiieue is a profound popular conviction Abat Geo. Bliss is not earning bis $100 a day prosecutiug the Star Route thieves. But maybe that is not what he was hired for. . The Cincinnati Commercial thinks that as a work of art the beaten brass medal of the 30G would be improved by the pa thetic inscription: "I am going to my Lordy I am 60 glad," and then the whole thing would be so remarkable. On each of the two indictments the New York court sentenced Gen. Curtis to $300 fine for collecting money for political pur poses from federalofiicc holders. If Cooper and Hubbell get a dose of this law they will have to levy an eleven per cent, assess ment to meet the " expenses," Out West courts are not to be trilled with. John Arnold wrote ou an order of the supreme court at Indianapolis, "The court may go to the devil," and 6ent the document back to the judge. For this ho was sent to jail for ten days. Judicial dignity must be kept from going to the devil, regardless of expense. The Irish must go. Mr. Cameron has issued his fiat against the genial gentle man of that name who runs the bureau of engraving in the treasury department and the place is to be given to Mr. Berry, a Stalwart supporter of the senator in Philadelphia. Attorney General Brew stcr is said to be actively interested with Cameron in securing the place for Berry. Col. John P. Irish, the present incumbent, who has been raaiked fur de capitation, has held the office for a number of yean, is a Pennsylvanian by birth, but at present of Iowa. Tue riill which was introduced into the House by Representative Pound, of Wis consin, and which was passed on Monday last under a suspension of the rules, pro viding for tho establishment of additional industrial schools for Indian youth, and authorizing the use of unoccupied military barracks for such purpose, will be called up in the Senate at the first opportunity. Senator Dawes, chairman of the committee on Indian affairs, who is in charge of the bill, thinks it will be passed by the Senate before the final adjournment of the pres ent session. Hubbell may yet get his work in on the hostlers and nurses. It is amusing to see the treatment by the Cameron organs of Beaver's statement that Cameron was " a little man." The Examiner in reporting Beaver's speech at Bristol, suppressed his measure of Cam eron. The Bulletin obsequiously ex plains that " it is not to be supposed that he meant to speak contemptuously of Mr. Cameron when he said he was not a big man. General Beaver's meaning is perfectly clear. He was rebuking the folly of the Independents in their grot esque magnifying of any one man into suoh a monster as they have made of Mr. Cameron, and he was quite right in say ing that the distinguished senator is no such 'big man' as they have tried to make him." Beaver's explanations are bad enough ; tho Bulletin's are worse. Pen Yak's postoffice is the subject of a quarrel between the Half Breeds and Stal warts. Arthur removed the Half Breed postmaster and put in one of his kind. The nomination was opposed by Senator Miller because there was no valid reason for the removal. Senator Lapham ap proved the change. When the case came up for consideration in executive session lost Monday. Mr. Miller cccurad thn m. jection of the nomination. Mr. Lapham induced Mr. Morgan, of Alabama, to move a reconsideration of the vote by which the nomination was rejected, and that motion is now pending. The rejection was re garded as a rebuff to the administration. Postmaster-General Howe and First As sistant Postmaster-General Hatton have been sinco Monday openly working on the floor of the Senate to procure votes enough to obtain the reconsideration and to secure Lanning's confirmation the next executive session. Senator Miller and other senators feel indignant that a cabinet officer and deputy should interfere in such a contest. It is said the postmaster-general will re- mivA ta.t-.tnnt.inn in the dflbntn tn nnuui). vo'e on the motion to reconsider. Senator Hill's condition is growing exceedingly critical. His mind is clear, and be realizes that he may die at any moment.'' It is not known what progress the cancer has made in eating the carotid artery. Death may result from either exhaustion or the severing of the artery. EPGHA3E r,0F YOURS f-j IK CI8UBUH. AB Arrangement to uat u Knighta or Labor Vote for General Beaver. Clearfield Dispatch to the Times. Last Wednesday Miles McPaddenwas arrested at Phillipsburg, charged with conspiracy to prevent willing workmen from pursuing their avocation. He was bound over in the sum of $1,000 to appear for trial. Subsequently Con. Cotter, John Catherwood and a man named Paisley were arrested and in default of bail were committed to jail. This occurred on Fri day. On Saturday Colonel D. H. Hastings arrived here. Tbe labor organization has, always ' heretofore been represented by Barret & Son. It was reason able to expect that any legal proceed ings would be inaugurated by this firm. Colonel Hastings had never previously ap peared ia court here, and his legal repu tation is '.not suoh as to make his employ ment in any way necessary. But in this case Messrs. Barret & Son, the senior of which firm has occupied a seat on the bench, and' both are distinguished for legal acumen, were not consulted. Upon the arrival of Colonel Hastings tho Knights of Labor surrendered the management of their case to him. He employed Mr. T. H. Murray, who is a Re publican and personal friend of General Beaver. Under the counsel of these gen tlemen a writ of habeas corpus was up plied for.' Upon the bearing, on the mo tion for the writ after argument the court hold the accused to bail in the sum of $500 each, and they were remanded to custody until tbe bail was eutered. At this point the peouliar services of General Beaver's neighbor and Chairman Cooper's ambassador, Colonel Hastings, were developed. He canvassed the town, soliciting bondsmeu. To tho active Re publicans ho pleaded eloquently in behalf of the pet scheme. To the personal friends of Gen. Beaver be emphasized the value of such a service in such an emergency. Fi nally Dr. Hartwick yielded to his impor tunities and consented, out of love for the Stalwart candidate, to sign tho bond. Mr. Murray was appiised of tho triumph and the threo visited the jail to execute the bond in the presence of tho prisoners. When tho doctor saw them, however, he relented. Timidity got the upper hand of patriotism and he begged oil. Then Col. Hastings was driven to another expedi ent. He summoned the leading partisans to a caucus and commanded in the namo of the party that they jointly make up the bail. Among those who attended the caucus was Samuel J. Row, who was yesterday appointed postmaster. To him tho colonel addressed himself. He dilated upon the fact that as a prospective party beneficiary it was his duty to help tho organization. But the expectant postmaster was ada mant. Tho others were equally irrecpon sivo aud the caucus adjourned. Tho Bolloronte ambassador was in despair. Hope was oozing out and ho turned to his colleague, Mr. Murray, with a plaintive plea to throw himself into the breach. Murray demurred aud alluded feelingly to his lifelong practice of refusing to bail anyone. He cited the record of a long professional career iu testimony of this fact, but it ouly inspired Hastings to greater eloquence and more fervid im portunity. At last Mr. Murray succumbed and, under the assurance that it would secure the votes of the Kuights of Labor to General Beaver, he signed tho bond and the prisoners were released. It is an open secret hore that an under standing has boen arrived at between the organization on the one side and tho Re publican committee on tbe other. Tbe agreement is that, in consideration of tho entire vote of tho organization being thrown for Beaver, the Republicau com mittee is to guarantee protection to these men and any others of tbe order who may bo charged with conspiracy. Tho plan is to secure release from prison by bail when arrests are made, immunity from trial when that is possible, and pi otection after conviction if the other fails. Those who call to mind the riot bribers will under stand the significance of this promise. The first Btep in the programme has been suc cessfully carried out. How nearly it failed only those know who closely watched tho operations of Col. Hastings while here. IN POLITIC. Wliar the Parties are Uolng Over tbe Country. Representative Holman has been re nominated for Congress by tho Democrats or bis district in Indiana. The First Vermont district Demooratio convention has nominated Lyman Reding, ton. of Rutland, for Congress. The Democratic convention for the Thir teenth Illinois district renominated Wil liam M. Springer for Congress. Aaron Shaw, of OIney, was nominated for Congress by the Democrats of the Sixteenth Illinois district on the &8th ballot. Eighteen delegates were at Jackson, Miss., elected to the Chicago National Prohibition convention, which meets in August. The ''Straight-out" Republican con vention of tne second Virginia district re nominated Hon John F. Dezondorf for Congress. The Democratic convention of the First legislative district of Luzerne county to nominate a representative will be held in Wilkesbarre, July 25. Louis C. Latham, the present represent ative, was renominated for Congress by the Democratic convention of the First North Carolina district. Ex-Senator Charles R. Buckalow said to a representative of the Wilkesbarre Union Leader that the Democratic ticket was an excellent one, and that the conven tion could not well have made bettor selec tions. The National Greenback party held a county meeting at Harrisburg and placed a full ticket in the field. Nineteen delegates were in attendance. Thursday evening Thomas A. Armstrong, their candidate for governor, addressed a small audience. The Texas Democratic stato convention completed the nominations for stato offi cers by the selection of Marion Martin, of Navarro, for lieutenant governor ; Comptroller, W. J. Spain ; Commissioner of Land Office, W. C. Walsh; Treasurer, T. C. Lubbock ; Attorney General, John S. Templeton. Tho Republican convention for tho sec ond North Carolina district, held at Wil son, hud disagreements. The negroes have a large majority in this . district. James E. O'Hara, colored, was nominated by the bulk of the colored delegates, and Hon. Orlando Hubbs, the present repre sentative, was declared nominated by tho chairman of the convention. It is stated that both will run. LEAB ON NEVlH. He Won't Flay ir Cameron Allows Him To Be CaUed Hard Name. Ex-Attorney General George Lear, of Bucks county, says that ho does not ex pect to take the stump for the Stalwart ticket unless certain things that have been said about him are "taken back." His particular grievance is against two Stal wart organs of Philadelphia, which he says called him hard names when he saw proper to differ with Senator Cameron and Chair man Cooper. If he does take ' the stump he says he may insist as one condition pre cedent to that step upon the discharge of the proprietors' of one of the organs in question, E. H. Nevin, jr., from the posi tion of surveyor of the port. Mc Lear's theory is that Mr. Nevin being depend ent ota Senator Cameron for his official plaeaj was simply the mouthpiece of that statesman when he "abused" the general in the Evening Jfetes. This organ. " con tinned the general, "among other things said that somebody oaght kifsntly whisper ia the ear of General Lear-that 'ha was auting a jaelra of Uml&-1 dieTs sm tbe paper," added the reaeraL "I ever do see it, for nobody takes itnp my way, but I saw the item copied in another paper and credited to it. Iif I, as one of the men who helped organize the Republican party, cannot have my say without being vilified and abused by the bantliags that have come into the party since and makeabnsi ness for their own personal ends of toady ing to the bosses of the party, I want to know it and I will then take ay own course. As Cameron put tbe proprietor of this paper in office, and as it has been up holding him and abusing everybody else ever since, I think Cameron is the man who should bo held responsible for the act of his servant, and that I would be justified iu'asking for that servant's discbarge be fore taking any active part in tbe cam paign." DEMOCRATS IN OHIO. They Nominate a State Ticket aud Mm tbe Party Principles. In the Democratic state convention of Ohio John Follett, of Cincinnati, was made temporary chairman and George H. Pendletou permanent chairman. There was a contest on the selection of the cen tral committee, the fight being made against John G. Thompson in the various districts. He was defeated for member from his own district. In the afternoon John G. Oakley was nominated for su preme judge ; J. W. Newman, of Ports mouth, for secretary ot state, and Henry Weible, of Van Wert county, for member of the board of public works. A platform was adopted reaffirming the principles of the Democratic party and denouncing the reckless extravagance of the Republican party. Resolutions were adopted favoring a tariff formed to meet actual needs and declaring that the growth of monopolies is such as to seriously threaten the rights of individnals and the public welfare. DUO KEN PLEDGES. Too iate tor Beaver to Proclaim lade pendente. N. Y. World. Why should Beaver talk about promises and pledges ? He went to Chicago two years ago pledged and instructed to vote and work for Blaine, but that did not pre vent him trom ratting to Grant. He was nominated at Harrisburg two months ago on aplatform which condemned compulsory assessments f or ' political purposes, while bis managers are now collecting 5 per cent, from the Fedeial officeholders for his campaigu fund. Who Sowed Wnom ? riiiiailolpbia Times. It is a common bolief that this little mau Cameron bossed not only Beaver but pretty much all of Pennsylvania outside of McManos, at Chicago in 1880 ; and if little Cameron bossed Beaver, in what size of mould must Beaver have been cast ? Bea ver disregarded the positive instructions of his own county in favor of Blaine ; he treated with contempt the unanimous in structions of bis district for Blaine, and he rushed to the fore for the despotic unit rule and for Grant. In thus betraying his constituents to make the boss system omnipotent, did Beaver boss the little Cameron, or did tbe little Cameron boss Beaver ? Somebody was bossed, and if tho little Cameron didn't boss Beaver, there is an awful pop ular delusion uoating around very gener ally in tne state, it is possible that the public have been in error about the real boss at Chicago, and tbat the big Beaver was boshing the little Cameron all tho time ; but it so, Beaver has been a long time in letting the truth out. Better Arguments Asked for. rittaburgh Leader, Hep. Mr. Cooper, chairman of the Republi can state committee, sends us a circular, which he hopes we will find space to print. We are sorry that we have not the room to spare, but will Rive Sir. Cooper the benefit of summarizing the contents of tho circular. He says briefly tbat Mr. Pattison, Democratic nominee for gov ernor, was born in Maryland, whereas General beaver, Republican nominee, for the same position was born in Pennsylva nia. Therefore he thinks all Pennsylva nians would rather vote for Beaver. The fact that Mr. Pattison moved into this state at an early age aud learned all he knows here is not alluded to by Mr. Cooper. He was born out of the state, and that is a crime serious enough in Mr. Cooper's eyes to make him an unfit can didate for the suffrage of Pennsylvania. Please give us some stronger reasons than this for not supporting Mr. Pattison. FBHSONAL. Joiln Spbisgeb, aged 103 years, died at Marietta, O., in the county infirmary. Hon.

Judson Walcott has been resting his weary bones in the Eastern penitentiary for fifteen years, and during all that long time he has never done a stroke of work. Before he was sent to tho place of incar ceration, ho says, he took an oath not to work while he was locked up, and he bluntly told the prison officials many a time that be conld not violate that oath. He comes out of jail fat, hearty, hardened and revengeful. Dr. G. E. Breuman, a prominent phy sician, of Altoona, died suddenly in his office yesterday afternoon, from neuralgia of the heart. His wife died suddenly about two months ago and he has been so much depressed since that he seemed to expect to die.' He made his will and pre pared for death one week ago. Yesterday morning he visited his patients, as usual, and had just returned to his office when bo was prostrated with a Bpasm of pain in tho region of the heart and died in a few minutes. Adelaide Ristori made her debut in English on her sixty-second birthday at the Drury Lane theatre, London, after an absenco. of manv years from the stage. The role was Lady Macbeth, and it is said that the great actress had devoted many months to its study, as her knowledge of tbe English language is small. She em ployed an elocutionist to read the lines to her, over and over, while she wrote out the words phonetically. After thus get ting the sounds firmly fixed in her mem ory she set about studying their meaning. There was an immense audience, drawn partly by curiosity to witness her novel effort, At first her pronunciation was hurried and indistinct, but after the first act sho was composed and spoke admir ably, while her acting was ai strong as thirty years ago.

They cut off tho hands of Berberins becaus-tbey served Christians. Arabi Pasha had called a mooting at Cairo of all the Pashas, Ule mas and notables and asked , them whether it was right to obey the' khedive, seeing he had sold Egypt to the English, ordered tho military bakehouses to make 1,500 loaves daily for tho British without providing for his own troops, and sent tel egrams in their name.

The completed report of the department of agriculture on tho condition of crops for the month of July shows that there is, an increased area of potatoes in nearly every state and territory, the natural effect of the high price. This increase amounts to about seven per cent. Condition is also high, falling little short of 100 any where, and averaging 102. There is an increase in the breadth of sweet potatoes, especially in the Southorn states west of the Mississippi. Condition is high south and west of South Carolina, but not up to the average in any of the Atlantic states north of South Carolina. The acreage of tobacco is nearly the same as in 1881. Condition is high in Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina, but below average in the Connecticut valley, Mary lard and Virginia. In sorghum tbeie is some increase of area in tho south, a small decrease' north of the Ohio, with a small advance west of the Missouri. Condition is .somewhat be low average generally, except in the South ern states. Apples and peaches will be fairly abund ant. Tbe Delaware and Maryland crops of peaches may exceed, 4,000,000 baskets. A medium crop will be gathered in tbe Michigan, Illinois and Missouri peach regions. Condition of fruit is better west of the Mississippi than in the Ohio valley. As usual there is great local variation in condition. Another Wltsoa-SalUvaa Match Offered. Richard K. Fox. on cbehalfof "Tug " Wilson, offers to" wager $1,000 tbat John; L.

Mr. Elliott is what they call down east a 'smart man,' by which I mean, "not merely book learned, but a man of powerful intellect, bright by nature. He is a man who would make his influence felt in Congress, and I shall take great pleasure in giving him my support." Corr. " You are not then, Mr. Bucka lew, among those who believe that Mr. Pattison's being a young man will be against him ? You are a veteran in party and public' service and should know whether any of tne older element of tho party wiU refuse to sapport him on tbat account. '? ' j 1 - , Mr.B. ft Not at all! Not at all! Mr. Pattison is all right, If ke is a young man he has accomplished a great deal of good, for which he deserves to be reward ed. I have yet to hear the first Democrat, old or young, say he will vote against him on any account. In fact all seemV not only satisfied, but especially' well pleased with his nomination. In this' county the patty is entirely harmonious and hopeful. We shall, as usnal, beat the enemy two to one -when the polling day comes, and perhaps do better. Corr. "How is the split in the Repub lican organization, as you view it, likely to affect the result?" Mr. B. "It will enhance, or rather has enhanced, tbe chances of Democratic suc cess ; not so much because there is reason to believe tbat the vote of the Independents will be a very large vote, as on account of the Democratic hopes inspired by tho de moralization in the ranks of our opponents add out of whlchtwiltTconie a fuller Dem ocratic poll than could otherwise be se cured. Wheal was a candidate foe gov ernor there were forty thousand Demo crats who would not vote for Greeley and hence failed to come to the polls at all. Had I received those forty thousand votes 1 would have been elected." Corr. " Do you believe then tbat there aie enough Democratic votes in the state to win,- if they can be properly organized and held to their duty. Mr.B. "I do. I certainly do. Fre quent defeat has disheartened many of onr' people. The Republicans corrupt others, who could not, perhaps, be' cor rupted, did they not feel, though wrongly, that voting the Democratic ticket would be throwing their strength away. There is moio hopefulness this year, and less probability, on that accouut, of this class of our poople beiug bought away from us or entrapped into side movements. With first rate organization all over the state and and vigorous campaign, we have an excellent chance of electing onr' ticket." Fifteen Lives Lost by a Steamer Slaking.

They claim that the by-laws giving them control of the property cannot berepsaUw. amended or anuulled unless the proposi tion to do so be made in writing at one stated meeting! and adopted by a two thirds vote at a subsequent meeting. The trustees and their friends claim tbat they are not opposed to the sale pt tbe com pany's property, but that they want the sale made according to law, and not by an unauthorized and irresponsible committee. it BIDS FOR TRKNuHINO.
