SATURDAY BVBNINO, JULY 21. i6S
A Seud Fesltiea.
Representative bbarpe, Democrat, em
phatically replies te the Senate's request
for adjournment because agreement en
the apportionments bills is impossible,
that such agreement is .net impossible,
and that the Legislature must sit until
it is reached. ' Representative Ziegler,
Democrat, seconds this declaration with
equal fervor, and declares that no propo prepo
sition for adjournment will be reported
from the committee of which he is chair
man until the apportionment bills are
passed'. The Democratic members of
the Heuse warmly applaud their
declarations. Representative Ster
rett, Republican, declares that agree
ment upon the apportionment bills
can be reached with the exercise
of intelligence and a little wisdom ; and
that he is net in favor of adjournment se
long as he has reason te believe that the
admitted duty te apportion the state can
be performed. His fellow-Republicans
received his speech coldly; but the pre.
position te refer the Senate resolution
demanding adjournment te a committee
of ways and means, with instructions te
report it back en Monday next, was
voted down by a large majority, and will
net see the light until, as the chairman
of the committee declared, the appor
tionment business is done.
We are very glad that the Democratic
Heuse has taken this firm stand. It
will be stoutly supported in it by the
sentiment of the party, and, we believe,
also, by that of the state. Tiiere is
nothing better than a geed position
firmly maintained. The Democratic po
sition that the constitutional duty te
apportion the state should be performed
by the Legislature, before adjourning, is
entirely impregnable. The Republican
position that adjournment should be had
because apportionment is impossible, is
manifestly weak in its confession that
there is net enough wisdom in the Legis
lature te enable it te de its duty. It is
a clearly false declaration. There
may be tee much partisanship te
permit just apportionment or perhaps
any at all. But such partisanship i3
disgraceful te the Legislature and will
net be patiently witnessed by the people.
Se long as it alone stands in the way of
the apportionments it will net justify
adjournment. The geed men of the two
bodies should be ready te sit until their
terms expire, a year and a half hence,
before they admit by their adjournment
that they have net sufficient wisdom te
de their constitutional duty,
The majority of the Senate desires te
make this admission ; the majority of
the Heuse declines it. The majority of
the Senate being Republican, and con
sequently content as a party with the
present apportionments of the state, is
obviously open te the charge that it re
fused te reapportion the state because
its party will lese by it. The Democratic
Heuse, or course, is open te the accusa
tion that it refuses te agree te consent
te the maintainance of the existing ap
portienments because they would lese by
it. But the Democratic Heuse has this
great ad vantage that in insisting upon j
new apportionment it insists upon what
the constitution demands. And no one
will deny that it is right te demand a
just apportionment. It is net its duty te
consent te gross injustice te secure an
agreement with the Senate. Its duty
clearly is te insist upon apportionments
se readily shown te be fair te its oppeu -
ents, that the sentiment of the people of
the state will be satisfied of the justice
of its position. If they take this stand
the Democrats may safely sit in their seats
until the Republicans yield te them. And
we hope that the DemocraticHeuse in de
termining te sit indefinitely until apper
tienments are made has also determined
that it will net be forced te agree te
manifestly unjust apportionment bills.
If the Democratic members of the
Heuse who with great unanimity refuse
te consent te an adjournment of lite
Legislature have any reason te believe
that all the proper parliamentary pre
cesses te get an honest, just and true
apportionment are net yet exhausted ;
if they have any well founded hopes,
and the speeches of Lewery and Sterrett
justify such hopes, that the Republicans
may be yet brought te a sense of decency
and fairness, then they are wise in
standing out firmly against the desperate
efforts of the Republican bosses te defeat
the purpose of the extra session. When
these people offered as their " ultima
turn" a dishonest and unjust apportion
ment, there was nothing for the Deme
crats te de but te reject it, even at the
risk of getting no apportionment at all.
And if this is their ultimatum theie
is nothing for the Legislature te
de but te adjourn. But there
are visible signs of weakening en
the ether side. Seme of the senators
dare net take the responsibility of fel
lowing Cooper's lead te obstruct every
thing like a fair division of the state.
Seme of the Republican members of the
Heuse, notably Lewery and Sterrett,
honest and conservative men, will net
stand by their party in its wrong posi
tion. It is for the Democratic members
of the Heuse te interpret these signs and
te give them a chance for fruition.
Mr. Jay Gould is net pleased with
the striking telegraphers. He calls them
het headed feels and like unflattering
things, and declares that they wpl
Jv be brewht te their knees. lAr.

We are really afraid that Mr. Gould

enough left for the journey.
The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph
reports that .every new and then pem -plaint
is made that the governor will net
consult with this, that, or t'ether
member of his party in either the Heuse
or the Senate, by " Democratic organs
who feel sere because the election of a
Democratic governor has net been fol
lowed by the pecuniary results which
they hoped for." We are in receipt, we
believe, of nearly every Democratic
newspaper of any standing in Pennsylva
nia. We have never seen any such com
plaint in any of them ; and we knew no
one of them which has been disap
pointed in expectation of pecuniary re
sults that were te fellow Governer Pat Pat
tisen's election. The Evening Telegraph
ought te be mere specific.
It tries te be mere specific, perhaps,
when it points out that SenatorSutten
has complained that " the executive
will net advise or consult with him."
Senater Sutten has done no such thing,
and nothing that can be se construed.
It having baen charged in the public
prints that he was the mouthpiece of the
administration ahdspokebyitsautherity,
he simply explained as a matter of fact
and net of complaint that this was net
the case.
The Telegraph is an able newspaper
sometimes. Occasionally it is very
stupid.
Rev. Dn. Greenwald's recent sermen

Bosten Investigater,m atheistic newspaper.
which in a recent issue violently attacks
the arguments of the venerable Lutheran
divine, maintains that the records of crime
show the atheists te be better peeple than
the believers and declares that its papers
are circulated through Lancaster as an
antidote te Christian bigotry.
The Philadelphia North American is in
error when it says thai. "it wasBhewn by Mr.
MeFarlane that it would net be possible te
se district the Btate as te give the Demo
crats what they demand without making
shoestring districts." Ne such thing has
evar been shewu. On the contrary, it has
been shown that fifteen Democratic (lis
trie ts four mere than the Democrats
have offered te take can ba carved out
without having any worse shaped districts
than these of the McCrccken or Stewart
bills.
The American observes that " General
Garfield is dead and cannot be heard in his
own defence, and se strong is the belief in
his integrity of character that it would be
nothing less than the word of an honest
man which, if raised in his detraction, the
people would heed." But it is upon the
word of Wayne MaeVeagh, we believe,
that Garfield is accused of having broken
faith with Arthur, Conkling and James,
at the instigation of Whitelaw Reid and
.Blaine, in the matter of the New Yerk
collectership. Mr. MaeVeagh ought te
tell what he knows.
FEATURES OF THE STATE PRESS.
The Press calls the Evening Telegraph a
journal for revenue only.
The Yerk Age sighs te be a senator and
have a chance te play basa ball at $10 a
day.
The Alteena Tribune doubts the practi
cability of Democratic-Greenback fusion
en a county ticket in Blair county.
The Pittsburgh Pest thinks Blaiue is
organizing a "still hunt" for the presi
dency. Dr. II. B. Stehman's Practitioner con
tinues its interesting history of medicine
and medical men in Lancaster county.
The Philadelphia JVeics thinks this would
be a golden opportunity for the long
distance telephone te supplant the telo tele
graph if it war a only ready for the
omergenoy.
The graduating class of the state cellege
this year consisted of five persons. Te the
West Chester Recerd thU is a mighty peer
showing for an institution upon which the
state of Pennsylvania has squandered
hundreds of thousands of dollars, and new
pays thirty thousand dollars yearly.
The Lancaster Inquirer, Rep., points out
that there was nec one fiftieth of the
popular demand for the nomination of
Niles or Livsey that there was for Gen.
Beaver last year. "There never was a
fairer or mere popular nomination than
that of General Boaver. Ha was beaten
by treachery."
The Danville Intelligencer does net won
der that the Republicans obstruct a uew
apportionment, when under the existing
plan the countie3 of Lycoming, Columbia,
Sullivan and Menteur, Dam., contain a
population of 113,429, with one senator,
and Rebanen, Rep., with a population of
38.470, has one senator.
The Huntingdon Monitor, Dam., does
net agree with the Democratic members
of the conference committee when they
say, that the Senate has violated the con
stitution by making Centre and Hunting
don cenuties a senatorial district. It thinks
these two counties are composed of " com
pact and contiguous territory " within the

A Nevel .Enterprise.
A Yeung Men's Christian association of
England has sent an accredited agent te
this country en a novel mission. His
object is te arrange with reputable far
mers in the United States, especially in the
West, ler the placing with them et youths
from 1G te 18 years of age, te be thorough
ly instructed in practical farming. The
young men are te be selected by the
association from among these who are net
tilted for business, or have no chance te
enter business, and who have no ether
opening in life. There are, in fast,
large numbers of youths in Eng
land who, after serving an apprentice
ship te a merchant, find that there
is no work for them te de. The assoeia
tien intends te send as many young men as
possible te this country, where their op
pertunities will be se much larger than at
home. They will only be sent te farmers
who are well-established, aud who will be
in a measure responsible for these entrust
ed te their care. It is believed that there
are many such farmers who would be
glad te have the service of respectable
lads at a nominal figure. It is also pro
posed te provide homes in this country for
girls, as domestics, who are unwilling te
take such positions in their own country,
and many of whom rapidly go te ruin. It
is te be hoped that the plan will be as
successful as it deserves te be.

Every new and then we have a charere
from one side or the ether, as if perpetual
war were declared between the pulpit and
the press. It might ba supposed that some
necessary antangenism existed which made
the pulpit ever anxious te condemn the
newspapers, and that in turn the papers
were en the lookout for the peccadilloes of
the clerical profession. It is all wrong
when two great agents of social progress
are set in battle array against each ether.
Society cannot afford te have the bettsr
class of pulpits arrayed against the better
class of papers. There is just as much
difference between newspapers as there
is between pulpits. Seme papers are dull,
and ae are some pulpits. Seme papers are
sensational, and se are some preachers.
Seme members of the press are careless of
the moral effect of what they publish
from day te day, and this is the real point
of much that is Baid in the churches against
the lower grade of papers.
" There is another and better side te
this case. We knew of secular papers
where the church and the clergy are always
mentioned with respect, whether it be in a
local item or an editorial note. Sueh
papers stand in the front rank among the
moral influences of tbe city, and are re
garded by the clergy as invaluable auxilia
rifis. These papers never admit te their
columns any material unfit for the home
drcir.-fAn this moral trustworthiness is
impMa in their respectful tone te the
wilijsrry and towards sacred things.
'"There is'ne war then between the best
palpitsaad the best papers. Sueh agencies
are working shoulder te shoulder te up
held the atabilitrif social institutieiw Thn
papers that wouUFbe loyal te the Ameri
can M1SBJSSW Stast be first loyal te the

lead of the house is te blame, and with
whieh the best grade of newspapers have
nothing te de. There must always be
some xamples in every profession that
came its honorable members te blush.
The whole mistake arises from an unbusi

a few handfuls taken from bags reputed te

that Italian influence should give way te
American ideas; that schools shall be
made free, en the principle of our public
schools, and that for all practical purposes
the church in the United States shall be
made independent of Reme. This re
markable brochure comes from the pen of
the Rev. Patrick Cerrigan, pastor of the
largest Catholic congregation in the United
States, the Church of Our Lady of Grace,
inHobeken. He is a brother of Archbishop
Cerrigan, the coadjutor of Cardinal Mo-,-Cleskey,
and has another brother at 'the
head of a Catholic educational institution.
The pamphlet, after being put in print and
prepared for circulation, was withdrawn
at the order of Bishop Wigger, bnt net
before a reply had baen prepared for it by
several seminarians of Jersey City. Father
Cerrigan bows te the will of his superior,
but does net hesitate te express his views
frank! v in Drivata. He is set against
Italian influence, the subjection of
the priesthood te foreign domination,
the paid schools of tbe religious
fraternities, and bishops sent from
Reme. His reasons for wishing te have
the church independent are that in his
travels he has seen nothing but misery and
practical infidelity fallowing in the train
of a state church. In Spain, in Italy, and
elsewhere be has found the people most
ignorant and degraded where the church
had been the ally of the state and had
lorded it with a high hand. In a word,
Father Cerrigan is an intense republican,
a firm believer in American institutions
and se radical that he insists that his
church will never tret a held upon the pep
ular heart until the people have direct
power in all the church management and
the priests are allowed te cheese their own
mitred standard bearers, no even gees se
far as te say that it is wicked te compel
the children of the peer te attend church
schools, where they usually have te pay
laree fees, when .met as geed an education
is offered them in the public schools of the
land.

A decrepit old man used often te come
te Obediah's house. His head was bowed
down with age, his veice scarcely audible,
and the little that could be heard was un
intelligible.
But Obediah loved the old man, and
whenever he saw him at a distance he ran
te meet him, invited him into his hense,
offered him his softest cushioned chair,
and. when he left, accompanied him back
te his lonely hut.
Obediah's sons saw with astonishment
hew their father honored the old man,
who seemed te them a dotard : and one
dav they asked the reason why he did se,
"My sons," he answered, "this man, who
is new scarcely able te speak, was in
former vears the greatest' orator and deep
est thinker of his time. Old age first
attacked his body and then his mind : and
with the light of his mind the light of his
intellect also narKened."
Our saces say that when Moses had
placed the tables of stene in the ark of
testimony, Ged commanded him also te

these which note serve but these which did

Reflect en the deep meaning of this
beautiful parable. And whenever you see a
man who has once served the world by his

nevolent acts, remember the broken tab

The strike of the telegraphers continued
Friday without any new feature of note.
There were serious delays in the transmis
sion of telegrams between most of the
principal points ia the United -States, and
in some places the service was almost
suspenned. The business of the New Yerk
cotton and produce exchanges was greatly
affected, but the operations of the stock
exchange were net embarrassed,- their own
telegraphic service being effective. It was
quite evident duriag the night that the
news service of tbe associated press bad
been, te a considerable extent, embarrass
ed by the strike.
it was rumored in fittsburgh Friday
that the Telegraphers' Brotherhood "was
considering the advisability of ordering
the railroad opesaters en all the Pennsyl
vania company's lines west of Pittsburgh
te strike because the Pennsylvania com
pany shows a disposition te aid the West
era Union." Grand Secretary Hughes
said "he did net think any action of this
kind would be taken at present, but if tbe
case get desperate, he would net say what
will be done."
In Philadelphia, both sides claim
additions te their ranks. The operators
are hopeful, while the companies claim
that their position is stronger than en
Thursday. It is said the railroad operators
will quit work if they are notified te de se
by their committee. The Universal Peace
union has offered te arbitrate the trouble.
The Western Union telegraph company
has offered a reward of $500 for the arrest
and conviction of any person interfering
in any way with their wires. It is stated
that this company will set compromise, or
recognize the brotherhood or committee,
but will listen te individual members of
the association. The operators last eve
ning appointed a committee te furnish the
press with information bearing upon the
operators' side, and all newspapers will be
furnished with the same copy. The
strikers deny having tampered with the
wires.

gards the cigar makers' lock out and the
dress and cloak makers' strike in New
Yerk. The latter, as there are many
women and girls identified with it, ap
peals te the public sympathies with pe
culiar force, though the employers assert
that their demands are unreasonable, and
that in consequence of the closeness of
competition with ether cities in that class
of goods, compliance with them would
compel them te clese their shops ; but
this is probably an extreme way of put
ting it. Like most ether trades, these
strikers have their "union" and their
execntive committee, and the latter was
in session during the day at their
headquarters, Ne. 165 East Bread
way, making speeches, receiving
and dispatching messages, etc. Pre Pre
patatiens are also making for a mass
meeting and meantime hand bills, setting
forth the grievances of the men and
women, have been distributed throughout
the city. One of these leads off with a
quotation from Heed's "Seng of the
Shirt." The employers, in some instances,
have ceme out with a flat denial of the
statement made by the strikers in the
morning papers, te the effect that they
only received $1.50 for making cloaks
which are sold for $100. Mr. Casper of
! riedlander cc Uasper, Broadway, is also
quoted as saying that his empleyes were
paid at least from $7 te $10 for snch work,
and that the lowest priee paid for the
making of any oleak was $3. The strikers,
he further declares, all earned from $18 te
$20 per week.
The Velum Fever.
The steamer City of Washington, at
Havana from Vera Cruz, is quarantined

There was no sickness en the vessel when
she left Vera Cruz, but the disease devel

The ship's baker and doctor died at Ha

The state department has direeted the
U. S. consul at Vera Cruz te advise all
vels bound te our southern ports te
step at Ship Island for inspection, "in
order te avoid baing sen" there from the
pert of destination by the health author
ities." Several cases of Texas fever have been
discovered among cattle brought from
Texas te Worcester, Massachusetts, and it
was believed yesterday that the cattle
commissioners of Massachusetts would
forbid the bringing of any mere of these
cattle te the Btate.
Crime and Calamity.

Yerk, was raided yesterday, and 4,000

edge at the Cape of Geed Hepe, and part
of her crew are missing. The schooner,

last night.
Tewksbnry.
The Tewksbury committee reports were
submitted te the Massachusetts Heuse of
Representatives yesterday. All the Re
publicans signed a majority report, and all
the Democrats a minority report. The
majority pronounce " the main charges of
the governor " te be "groundless and
cruel." The minority say that " by the
technical rules of law adopted by the com
mittee of investigation mueh important
testimony was excluded, but that the
evidence submitted leads them te believe
that three of the trustees Nourse, Elliet
and Spaulding have been unfaithful te
their trust."

Factory Destroyed.
Friday night about 11 o'clock James
Bryson's bending works anil saw mill, at
Ephrata, were discovered te be en fire,
aud in a short time were totally destroyed,
together with their contents, consisting of
machinery, bended shafts, fellees, hickory
toughs, &c, &c. The building was a frame
structure and burned furiously, rendering
futile all efforts te save it. Mr. Bryson's
less is net less than $10,000, and he has
an insurance of $6,000 iu three or four
companies.
The flames from the burning bending
works set en fire the dwelling house and
chair factory of Wm. C. Ueilig, and they,
tee, were destroyed, though most of Mr.
ITeilig's furniture was saved. The extent
of his less is said te be about $1,500, en
which he has an insurance of $900..
The dwelling liouse of Mr. Greff, situ
ated within ten feet of Mr. Heilig's, was
several times en tire and considerably
damaged, but through the heroic efforts of
the citizens was saved.
During the progress of the fire, a son of
Mr. Heilig, aged 22 years, while fighting
the flames, fell from the reef of the burn
ing building and was very seriously hurt.
The burned buildings were situated en
the north side of the main street about a
square from the railroad and two and a
half squares from the passenger depot.
The origin of the fire is net positively
known, but it is supposed te have erigina
ted from a spark from the furnace in Mr.
Bryson's bending works.
Ephrata is very poorly snpplied with
fire apparatus, having nothing but one old
fashioned hand engine, and it se badly out
of order tbat it could net be worked when
it was needed.
Seriously lrjured by a rrlebtfal Fall.
