Ah Oreriene Easiness.
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.

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.

in terms of deserved commendation of

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Movements or 'Orrlble Pasha.
Arab! Pasha has diverted the Mahomou
dieh canal, which supplies Alexandria
water, but it is believed that the greater
part of the cisterns in the towu have been
recently filled.
A dispatch from, Alexandria to the
London Daily Telegraph says : There
will be public executions to-day or to
morrow. I am asked to point out tbat all
the culprits have been convicted of mur
dering Europeans under circumstances of
exceptional barbarity during tbe bombard
ment of tbe city. Tho murderers will
probably bejshot by Egyptian trodpn. . It
is quito possible, be says, that suoli execu
tions will continue for somo time, as every
day brines to light similar oases.
Omar Pasha Lufti, governor of Alex
andria, has returned from Cairo by way
of Port Said. Ho has made the follow
ing report to the khedive : On the way
to Cairo I saw Europeans being 'massa
cred and their houses pillaged at Daman-
hour, Tautah and Miballa, where the
Alexandria robber bad arrived. 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. Tbe minister of
the interior presided at tho meeting.
Mabrnoud Pasha Baroudi practically di
rected the discussions. Sheik Hassan
recommended the declaration of a holy
war, but at the instance of the Coptic pa
triarch moderation prevailed. Tho meet
ing appointed a committee to go to Alex
andria in order to verify the accusations
against the khedive. It was arranged that
a committee of seven should start on the
18th inst., going from Cairo to Ismalia.
TUE FARMER'S OUTLOOK.
Tbe Crop Reports for July.
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.

Corr. "Then you are acquainted with
tho candidates-!
Mr. B. "Yes, I know then all. .Each
is well fitted for the station for which he
has been named. Mr. Pattison has made
a most excellent record and developed no
weaknesses. Mr. Black has much of the

know. them bothiatimatelji ,Mr. Clark'a
father was James Chirk' also of Iudiana
county. He was a member of the consti
tutional convention of 1838 and therein did
excellent service. He was afterwards a
canal commissioner and left the board
with high ocedlt,iasdBiethiig not sTfew of
tbiawhukeldlthatpoaitioa failed to'rio;
Tho son was highly esteemed by bis col
leacueain the '73 convention. Ha is a
fflrftt-claks lawyer and if elected. as he'
ought to be, will mako a universally satis
factory judge. 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."
