Daniel Dougherty is a roan of original
ideas. He is net fend of accepting the
opinions of his fellows, being quite con
tent with his own. He has just deliver
ed himself te a Philadelphia Tines re
porter of his views about Pattison and
Pawidv. lie holds the former te be hen
est, and believes that he will reform
abuses and be stern and unbending in
his determination te de right. But he
declares that his nomination was little
better than an insult te every Demo
crat of brains in Pennsylvania, because
lie had never done anything te show him
worthy of se high an honor; that he
made a geed controller, and should have
been kept there instead of being selected
as the best, the boldest and the most
gifted citizen of Philadelphia te MI a
place that a Philadelphia!! has net filled
for seventy-seven years. Mr. Dougher
ty's idea seems te be that a governor of
Pennsylvania should demonstrate him
self te be a great man before he id pro
posed ler that exalted place; but, as
Mr. Dougherty himself suggests, this
would be entirely at variance with Penn
sylvania precedent. He considers that
there is something very wrong in
our state te keep it se steady in its se
lection of commonplace chief magls
-trates. It is an honest fact that very
few, indeed, of Pennsylvania's govern
or's have been men of shining talent.
The governorship has seldom been made
a stepping-stone te higher political honor.
In view of the Pennsylvania fashion of
governors. Mr. Dougherty is somewhat
illogical in declaring that anybody was
insulted by Mr. Pattison's nomination,
even though Mr. Pattison be the com
monplace man that Mr. Dougherty con
siders hirn te be.
Mr. Cassidv he holds te be a niun of
entirely different feather. Te him he
ascribes Mr. Pattison's nomination and,
censequently,liis election, and, therefore,
argues that he holds a mortgage en the
governor, which necessarily gave him
the attorney generalship, for which Mr.
Dougherty pronounces him as cempe
tent and as free from entangling ul
i;.,.,.nz -i nnv nt his nrcdecessers ; and
declares that, se far as statesmanship is
concerned, he is an abler man, a man of
mere judgment, forethought, experience
and one better lilted for public affairs,
than anyone he can recall since the days
of Mr. Meredith. That is a first-class
certificate for Mr. Cassidy, and one that
he might profitably cut out and lay
away in his pocket book for use in the
senatorial canvass which he premises
himself. If Mr. Cassidy can persuade
the Legislature te agree with Mr.
Dougherty anent his qualifications as a
statesman, he may have a walk-ever te
the Senate chamber.
Hew many minds there are in men V
If the Lord would but let us all leek at
things the same way hew happy we
might be ! But newspaper editing would
be a dreadfully stupid business, and the
council chamber fearfully diill.aml home
unendurably quiet. "We would find our
only entertainment '' the churches ; for
of course it is quite inconceivable that, all
men should be of one mind in the. con
gregations. Si'kakkk Faunck, in making up the
committees of the lower Heuse at Har
risburg,had the advantage of a large
number of committees te be filled and
of many members in each, se that he
could, without difficulty or unjust dis
crimination, find several places for each
member. On the ether hand he had
many members te provide for and
necessarily could net be well ac
quainted with the special aptitude
of even a majority of them for committee
work. Under the circumstances he has
wen for his work, en the whole, the fa
vorable criticism of his political friends
and opponents. The chairman of the
principal committees are the same as
have been foreshadowed, and the make
up of their committees generally is in
accord with them. That of railroads is
the subject of most unfavorable criti
cism. But, like ethers who are te be given
a " chance," the members of this com
mittecwhoarenet above suspicion may
de better than their past record would
justify the expectation of being done. Be
sides the powers of this committee, and
indeed of most of the committees, may
be curbed or extended by the exercise of
the speaker's discretion in referring bills
te them. Most measures, especially
such as relate te corporations, may with
about equal propriety be referred te any
one of several committees, se thai, after
all,the work of the speaker's committees
will depend a geed deal en the speaker
himself.
Philadelphia health does net suffer per
haps it has no geed reason for its demand
that Beading shall net pollute its drink
ing water. PhHadelphians who want
unpolluted Schuylkill can get It by re
moving their habitation te the sources of
that river.
But, in all seriousness, something
will need te be done seen te remove
sewerage from our water courses. It
need net be nut there. Sewerage is val
uable and should be utilized for agricul
tural purposes and net washed into the
rivers and thrust under the offended
noses of people who have te drink their
waters.
Sevatek Wallace lias introduced
a bill te make the day of the general
November election a legal holiday. The
act suppressing the sale of liquors en
election day was in fact a step in this
direction. Its enforcement has very
much changed the character of popular
elections, and in this section of the state
the effect of Mr. "Wallace's proposed
measure would net be se seriously felt as
was the change from the disorder of free
drinking te the quietude of the present
elections. But in manufacturing and
mining centrcs.where the tyranny of cor
porate control is often exercised te keep
men closely at work te prevent them
farnishes all the mero reason why the
Heuse should walk the chalk line.
That is a allecking story which comes
fiem Milwaukee, implicating the lessee of
the Newball house bar in the recent great
conflagration that resulted hi such an ap
nallinir less of life. Fer the sake of hu
manity it is te be hoped the accusation
against Sehellcr cau be disproved, though
the. reuert that he was recently detected
in an attempt te blew up the place with
gas lends some color te the story, and
seems te have se excited the indignation
of the people of the city that the prisoner
is said te have been in danger of lynch
ing. The query suggests itself, how
ever, if it was known Sehellcr had pre
vieusly tried te blew up the heuse, why
was he left undisturbed te carry out his
horrid purpose with such fatal effect'.'
Perhaps judgment had better be suspend
ed for the present and the accused he given
a fair show.
The Memphis Appeal is cress because

of their employers, there, is it demand

that it would secure the results aimed
at. Holidays in law are net essentially
such in fact. New Year, Decoration

are "legal" holiday?, but in many places
work gees en all the same, and the ob
servance of holidays seems te depend
mere upon the custom of the community
and the will of employees than upon the

The marriage of Jonathan Longfellow,
Whitteysburg, Delaware, te the school
teacher was a shrewd stroke of matrimo
nial policy. The groom is a gentleman of
nearly three; score-and-ten, and his bride
is en the sutirry side of thirty. She
becomes the mother of twenty -eight chil
dren, including all of the scholars in her
school Mr. Longfellow had already been
married twice, the fruits of the first mar mar
riage being six children. His second
wile presented him with twenty-two

large a lamily of children was successfully
solved bv 31 r. Longfellow, who being a
wealthy farmer, built aschoelhonse of his

house. This arrangement continued for
several years, and the yeang lady who

The Republican national committee
has refused te se amend its rules as te
allow anything for the difference be
tween the power of Republican and
Democratic states te elect the nominees
of the national conventions. The pres
ent representation in conventions is based
en the number of congressmen, gives
equal voice te the Southern states
which cannot give one electoral vole te
the Republican candidate with the
Northern states which must be depend
ed upon te elect him. Quite naturally
the .Southern members of the commit
tee were against any measure which
would rob them of this advantage, and,
aided by Senater Legan, they defeated
it. Legan is said te have :i weather eye
open for the presidential nomination
himself, and he has scored a point in
helping the Southern states te maintain
their present power. Quite naturally
his best chance for a nomination is from
these slates which will have no influence
in electing the candidate.

Miss Marie Sanders and an elder sister
have lived for a number of years in the
heuse Me. 102 "Wylie avenue, Pittsburgh.
Neither of the ladies is handsome,
bui. 1ki1i arc blessed with genial dis dis dis
Dositieus. and have been considered perma
nent fixtures by all the children of the
neighboiheud. Te eke out their slender
income they rented furnished rooms te gen
tlemen. A few months age Mr. Jehn
Beaheut. a wealthy farmer living at Ash
land, Ohie, had occasion te visit the city
and remain a week or mere. Mr. Beaheut
is estimated te be worth net less than
half a million, but he has always been
noted for frugality. Net caiiug te put up
with the discomforts of a cheap hotel, or
te pay the rates of ene of the first class, he
sought accommodations in a private
family, and was referred te the Misses
Sanders.
In a few days the old gentleman gave
signs that lie was favorably impressed with
the qualities of Miss Maria Sander?, ami
before the close of tiie week was r.e
charmed with the comforts thesistera prc
vidt'd for him that instead of returning te
hisceuntry home at the appointed tirae he
agreed te protract ids stay indefinitely.
Having no business te engross his atten
tion, ai'd being qui te hale for his years, he
r.ueeecded in making himself se agrceabie
te both ladies that when he finally made a
proposal of masriagc it was accepted.
The gentleman returned for a short
time te the Buckeye stale, pre

marry, and yesterday he i id timed, and a

.Mr. O. U. Butler, the business agent of
Rice's "' Ielauthe ' opera company, called
at the Intelligence!: oflice today and
left au advertisaiiJiuir, which is o'sawhere
printed, announcing the production of
Gilbert & Sullivau'.s charming work hy
the cempauy which he represents, ou next
Wednesday evening, the 24th iust. It
will be also seen that the right
of Sajder tfc Grau te produce the
opera is challenged, as the itice poeplo
claim that by virtue of a special contract
made by Mr. .lames W. Cellier with Mr.
D'Oyley C.irte. the representative of
Messrs. Gilbert & Sulliv.iu, the Rice aud
Barten companies avc the only orgauiza ergauiza
tiiii: authorized te perform the work ia
this ceuntiy ouisitleot the cities of New
Yerk, Philadelphia aud Bosten ; that
moreover :t is impossible ler any ether
company te obtain Sullivan's original
01 chest rat ion and consequently te pro
duce the opera in its complete
beauty. Mr. Butler grew warm in
denunciation of the people who advertise
te sing Iolanthe'' here te-morrow night,
aud stated that any attempt at such action
will be an infringement en the rights of his
own company, which he intimated might
possibly be resented by legal steps te pre
vent te-morrow uigliL's porfermauco.
Wlun reminded that if he felt secure in
his own rights and the indefensible posi
tion of the ether party, au injunction from
the court would undoubtedly ba the
most effective course te pursue iu
accomplishing the cuds of truth ami
justice, Air. Butler rciiee'.cu ler a
moment and tiieu said laiah mcasmes had
been previously resorted te without, effect
whan piratical crews went sailing around
the country iu ' I. M. S. Pinafore,'1 sing
ing that epeia, the ''Pirates " aud ether
compositions without license of lav," or jus
tice ; Mr. Rice'a agent said something
about relying upon the moral sense of a
community having a leve of fair play,
rather than upon doubtful legal expedients
and troublesome litigation, though he
added that Mr. Cellier and .Mr.
Soicebedy-els?, who h-.uc been mcre or
hs outraged by the unauthorized con
duct of their rivals, will probably ceme te
Lancaster te se-e what cau be dene iu the
matter of restiaining te morrow night's
performance.
Meanwhile the Snjder fc Grau party,
who announce the opera for te morrow
ni,;ht, show ue sigus of weakening, and
they still flaunt their banners te the bre'e-ze
iu the shape of" newspaper advertisements,
despite Mr. Butler's irate proclamation
posting them as frauds and inq.osteis; ami
unless they lib frightfully they are pre
pared fe givu a ".sumptuous predue

Giibi.Tf & Sullivan," with a company
of " -!3 artists, grand chorus and their
