TUESDAY BVKNIHa, AUO. 21, 1888.
Westers Uslsn Stocks.
The president of the Western Union
telegraph company has just returned
from a visit te Europe and informs an
intmiflitive reporter that he went there
entirely for hit health's sake, and net at
all te help the sale of stock in his com
pany which Jay Gould sent his son
Geerge ever te negotiate. He admits,
however, that he informed Londen cap
italists, who inquired where they could
bay some Western Union stock, that
Mr. Gould would furnish them with
all they wanted, and declares that
their negotiations for its purchase failed
for the very geed reason that they were
net willing te pay Mr. Gould's price.
Mr. Gould has bad a prolonged trouble
in persuading customers te bid him bis
price for this particular let of goods. His
willingness te sell has net been a secret,
but his success has been by no means
proportionate te bis desire. Mr. Gould
has achieved a high reputation for skill
in getting in and out of stocks with
facility ; but Western Union clings te
him with great tenacity.
Dr. Green, the president of the com
pany, seems te think that it is net a stock
that suits the English constitution. He
finds that they are a conservative people
ever there who like te get real value for
what they buy and who are disturbed by
violent fluctuations in the market value
of a stock. It indicates te them a tee
great uncertainty in its real value. The
Londen stock exchange requires that a
list of the real English owners of all
stocks shall be furnished it, aud
refuses te deal in a stock that is net
largely held by English holders. It wants
some guarantee at home of the respecta
ble value of the things dealt in at its
beard. Ner is there any dealing en mar.
gins there. Stocks are bought and paid
for in cash. Evidently such a severe
test of value is net one adapted te
Western Union certificates and Jay
Gould's operations. It is no wonder
that Mr. Green took nothing by his trip,
but a fine experience and an ocean sail.
He thinks that the strike which took
place in bis absence was well treated by
his substitute, General Eckert, and that
it would have come off all the same if be
had been home ; of which there is no
doubt, since Mr. Gould would just as
well have had his way. He admits that
the company has lest a geed deal of
money by the strike, but says that Gen
eral Eckert tells him that he will get
one-third mere work out of his force than
he get before and in that way will save
within six months all that was lest.
There is nothing like taking a cheerful
view of things; when the strike was
going en the Western Union was net
losing anything, as we were told New
that it is ever we find that it was net
losing any thing, because its present less
was te be its future gain.
The business of the New Yerk stock
exchange is in a very demoralized state
because the public have learned te knew
that there is no assurance te be bad from
the prices made there that there is an
approximate value behind the prices.
The rule prevails that the buyer must
beware. He gets no guarantee that the
fair looking creature offered him is
sound in any degree. It is fixed up te
sell, and if he buys he is mere likely te
be cheated than if he dealt with the
most unscrupulous of proverbially
tricky horse dealers.With this knowledge
bought at a high price, this generation of
men eschews Wall street. There is
abundance of money seeking investment
and willing te take any fair risk in spec
ulation ; but the day for playing against
leaded dice has gene for the present ; and
If the New Yerk stock exchange wants
te win its business back it needs te give
geed assurance te investors that what it
offers te sell is intrinsically worth some
thing like what is asked for it.
One of the obvious difficulties which
we forecast when the judicial apportion
ment bill was under consideration, has
presented itself up in McKean county.
That county, with the constitutional
population of ever 40,000, was made by
this bill a separate district, and is enti
tled te its own judge under the consti
tution. Nevertheless the Legislature
attached Petter county te it and under
took te say that Judge Olmstead, who
lives in Petter county, should be the
judge of the McKean district, until his
term expires. Judge Olmstead, like
every ether constitutional lawyer in the
state, has doubts as te his right te held
court and de business in a district in
which he does net reside, and things
have come te a stand still. It would
net be at all surprising if the people of
McKean would take it into their heads
te elect a judge of their own ; but mean
time the processes of justice are blocked
and the advocates of an unconstitution
al and improper judicial apportionment
may see some of its beauties in a differ
ent light than that in which they were
se lately presented.
In Huntingdon a question also pre
sents itself and the lawyers there are
puzzled, it seems, te knew whether or
net they have a constitutional judge aud
district. Altogether it is manifest that
.infiyinsr te ills they knew net of, the
members of the Legislature who passed
the judicial apportionment, did them
selves no credit and the commonwealth
no benefit.
Thb Recerd asks the members of the
Legislature te unanimously resign their
seats and give the people a chance te
pass upon the questions about which the
Senate and the Heuse differ by electing
ew members this autumn. That
oaghttebean enticing idea te the Be
publicans, who have the present one
aided apportionment of the legislative
districts te enable them te elect a
majority of the two bodies, though
they lack a majority of the votes
in the state. As they claim that they
will carry the state this fall for their
state officers, they would have a sure
thing for their legislators. Still they
have a sure thing new in the fact that
they held the Senate and prevent a new
apportionment. -On the principle that a
bird in the nand Is worth two in the
bosh, they will be likely te refuse te re-r
sign. The action of the Senate has de
monstrated very clearly that the appor
tionment bills are net passed, solely
because it is a Republican advantage te
retain the present apportionment.
The Frees an JsJge Black.
Considering that Judge Black was se
eminently a disputant, and that in the
many controversies which marked his
public career he expressed his radical
opinions of men and things with such
freedom, the unanimity of kindly feel
ing with which the public press speaks
of him is gratifying and significant. It
is the fashion of newspapers generally te
discuss the dead mere indulgently than
the living ; it Is no occasion for surprise
that Democratic newspapers and con
ventions everywhere manifest their
esteem for a great counseller of their
eartv: nor that the flags of the
federal departments should droop
at talf-mast for one who had
adorned high station; nor that these
who came within the range of his social
charms should mourn their less. But,
beyond all these considerations, there is
a comprehensiveness and there is a sin
cerity about the newspaper tributes te
Judge Black which seldom, if ever,
before had been noticed with reference
te a similar expression of popular feel
ing.
There was net a leading newspaper of
the country that did net join in this
tribute yesterday, and it was notable
what concurrence of opinion there was
that Judge Black had died before bis
time, in the full vigor of his powers
and with much important work yet te
be done, which no ether can well take up.
Likewise has his death developed the
fact that every trace of misunderstand
ing as te his position at the outbreak of
the war has disappeared ; and the follow
ing terse statement from him at that
time, as te the great questions sprung
upon the country, is new everywhere
cited as a pregnant and forcible deliver
ance, which net even the. events of the
war and all that followed have qualified
in the slightest degree.
"The Union is necessarily parpetaal. Ne
tata can lawfully withdraw or be expelled
from it. The federal constitution is as
much a part of the constitution of every
state as if it had been textually included
therein. The federal government is
sovereign within its own sphere and acts
directly upon the individual citizens of
every state. It can suppress insurrection,
fight battles, conquer armies, disperse
hostile combinations, and punish any or
all of its enemies, it can meet, repel and
subdue all these who rise against it. But
it cannot obliterate a single common
wealth from the map of the Union, or de
clare indiscriminate war against all the in
habitants of a section, confounding the
innocent with the guilty."
But, appealing mere forcibly te the
tenderest sensibilities, the circumstances
of his death proved that heroic Chris
tian character which was the crown of
his personality ; and these have been
eagerly seized upon by the professors of
the faith as fresh testimony of the sus
taining and strengthening power of
divine grace. A New Yerk newspaper,
referring te the approaching convention
of free thinkers, gives this advice te the
clergyman who has been selected te
urge the claims of Christianity before
them:
If Mr. Mitchell wishes te vanquish the
freethinkers let him induce the Methodist
church te flood Rochester with a pamphlet
giving a sketch of Judge Jeremiah S.
Black and containing the following prayer
which the celebrated jurist offered while
his venerable wife knelt by his bedside
just before he died : " Oh, Theu beloved
and most merciful Father, from whom I
had my being and in whom I have ever
trusted, grant, if it be Thy will, that I no
longer suffer this great agony, and that I
be speedily called home te Thee ; and ob,
my Ged, bless and comfort this, my
Mary."
Every new and then we come across
a paragraph te the effect that the "Dem.
ecratic leaders " in some locality or
another are "resting quietly, preferring
te come te the fore and take a hand in
the formation of a national ticket next
year." This is a fashion with some who
call themselves "Democratic leaders.')
Seme of them fancied they could afford
te de it last year and early in the cam
paign they sulked and sneered at the
" young men's " ticket and campaign
They seen found that it wasn't the year
for "resting quietly" en the part of
these who expected te "come te the
fore " thereafter. They may as well
understand this, tee, at the outset this
year. The campaign is an important
one and every man is expected te de his
duty ; especially the " leaders ;" and if
they don't, when they uudertake te
"come te the fore and take a hand in
the formation of the national ticket,"
the party may take a hand and lead
them te the rear. The Democratic
leader who falters this year will net have
a front seat reserved for him When it
comes te " the formation of the national
ticket." Mind that.
As the Delaware county Recerd,- a
Republican newspaper printed in
Cooper's bailiwick says, it is a significant
sign of the times that a farmers' club
down there, composed largely of Repub
licans, has set the seal of its approval
upon the fearless exercise of the veto by
the governor, Chairman Cooper had
better be looking after his fences.
It becomes the duty of the temperance
people te keep a watchful eye en the move
ments of fasoienable tailors. Old claret
and pert wine shades will be very stylish
in winter Kerseys for overceatings. Yeung
men robed in sueh suggestive apparel may
be exeused if they leek tee often upon the
wine cap when it is red within the bowl.
Pennsylvania can held its own ou fish
steries, but it gracefully relinquishes the
palm te New Jersey when it comes te the
manufacture of artificial eggs. These
monstrosities that an alleged -firm in that
benighted state are turning out might
come useful te a perspiring audience de
siring te bestow some mark et apprecia
tien en any one who would have the
temerity te give the details of their manu
facture. In the state Senate last evening Judge
Black's death was formally anneanced
and also in the Heuse ; and a committee
of six frost each body was appointed te
attecd his funeral. The Carben county
Democratic convection, the Philadelphia
city committee, the Steelton Democrats
and many ether -bodies throughout the
eeuntry have taken saitable action en the
same sabjeet. The departments of state
andefjusttae at Washington are closed
and draped Tn mourning, and the tone of
the entire newspaper press of the country
is one of profound regret at the death of
the great publicist.
LovEKSef base ball cannot help being
thrilled with delight at the rapid strides
which the national game is making tow
ards popularity among all classes. Not
withstanding the stern edict of the law
forbidding ball playing en the street, the
small boy with the large bat still bangs at
the fascinating sphere en the public high
way te the imminent risk of the lives of
the passers-by and the integrity of the
windows in the vicinity. His elder brother
with an equal amount of enthusiasm, but
mere discretion, carefully beards np bis
little savings until an amount is gathered
sumcient te pay bis admission fee te a
professional game. Ner is this intense
desire te see men experiment for pay with
a ball that seems te have been shot from
a cannon, sneh is its velocity, confined
te the small boy or his elder brother.
rniiantnrepists, young business men, as
well as these who have retired from active
pursuits, and all grades and varieties of
politicians, confess its allurements. Indeed.
se absorbing has the baseball issue become
that it would be unsafe for either of the
great national parties te antagonize it in
the presidential campaign that is near at
hand. It has even been asserted that one
cause of the failure of the telegraphers'
Btrike arose from the faet that public
attention was te core3ntrated en baseball
that the grasping greed of monopolies
failed te secure the condemnation it would
have otherwise obtained. All this proves
eleaily that baseball has a strong held
en the national heart. But the wildest of
enthusiasts would scarce have dreamed of
the inroads the game has been making of
late with the gentler sex. Tennis, croquet
and arehery, it was thought, would keep
the feminine musele sufficiently busy, while
horny-handed man retained exclusive con
trel of the diamond. But this state of
affairs is te exist no longer. On Saturday
last, at Pastime park, Philadelphia, the
new era of equal baseball rights for woman
was ushered in, by the appearance en the
field of two nines, composed of the
daintiest little maidens arrayed in the
most bewitching costumes. Te be sure,
during the course of the game they de
veloped a remarkable agility in getting
out of the way -of swift balls, but all
things must have a beginning. It may be
oenuaentiy predicted that in the near
future the " horrid men " will be driven
from the bases and their places occupied
by the woman that is te be, who will then
have discovered her true mission. In these
giaoseme days et which the future is
already pregnant, broken fingers and dis.
colored eyes will be mera valued than
jewels beyond price.

A Slft-cflcaat Sign et Tae Times.
Delaware County Recerd, Rep.
The Concordville Farmers'club is mainly
composed of earnest, wide awake outspoken
Republicans, who knew commendable
things when they see them, and ate pesessed
of courage enough te condemn pernicious
things when they find them. The members
thereof are fnllgrewn men, and have a
knack of accurately gauging men and
measures, and of calling things by their
proper names. True it is, there are these
who think and even say the club is a very
meddlesome institution, and that it should
confine its deliberation te matters of the
barn yard, crops, fertilizers and things,
and that, above all things else, it $heuld
net meddle in politics. The peculiar thing
about these critics is that they are politi
cians, and evidently desire te monopolize
tbe whole political arena te themselves.
In their estimate of the Concordville elub
they evidently measure it by their own
standard : for being of no earthly use ex
cept as politicians, they reason that far
mers cannot be geed farmers if they med
dle in matters political, uut tbe bread,
well cultivated aeres of Concord and vicin
ity ; the fruitful hills and smiling valleys ;
the well-fed kine ; the commodious barns ;
the well-equipped appliances : the cesy
comfortable homes : and above and be
yond all else the general intelligence : keen
discrimination and geed hard sense of
these yeeman, all alike furnish the best
answer te the heresy that because they are
farmers and lead a somewhat isolated life,
they are illiterate, unthinking and unrea
senable men. In this very isolation lies
the farmer's greatest weakness. There is
unity of thought,of interest and of desire,
but in most agricultural distriets there
lacks the necessary intercourse te crystal
lize this common sentiment. A farmers
elub meets this great want, by its pro pre
vision of the facilities of freer intercourse,
interchange of thought, and contact of
mind with mind. In this way individual
views are liberalized ; the mental vision
strengthened and broadened and much re
sultant geed accomplished. Sueh organi
zed sentiment becomes a power in any
community, and especially where their
official doings can be publicly promulga
ted. A case in point is furnished by the offi
cial action of the Concordville Farmers'
club, at the last meeting, when the fel
lowing resolution was passed :
"Resolved, That in common with our
fellow citizens, alike of town and country,
we hail the period of 1883 with unmitiga
ted satisfaction in the history of Pennsyl
vania, se far as the commonwealth pos
sesses a governor who has the acumen te
detect and the courage te refuse his official
sanction te bills passed by the present
Legislature, unconstitutional, fraudulent
or subversive of the general rights of these
whom it is intended te succor."
We have said the members of the club
are mainly Republicans, but whilst such,
they are none the less citizens, and en
dowed with geed, hard common sense.
They recognize that, as all government is
of human agency and control ; that, as
parties are but a means te a given end, te
wit flood government, that end can only
be consummated and the public weal pro
moted by the elevation of geed, represen
tative, well tried and proven men te
publie place. When they find such a man
they are net afraid te commend him, even
though it be net politically orthodox se te
de, and mortally offensive te the " ma
chine" powers that be. Hence the club's
official approval and manly endorsement
of Governer Pattison's administration
a tribute all the mere worthy because the
spontaneous, unsolicited expression of
men who dare own themselves and
openly express their oenviotions of even
a political opponent. The old dogma of
party infallibility! possesses no longer
charms for such a class of men; the
shaekles of prejudice are broken and the
vision undimmed by partisan clamor.
There is but ene true meaning te Repub
licanism the geed of the many te the
least detriment of the few and when
men can rise te the full statue and dig
nity of Republican sovereignty and get
out and above and beyond the chrysalis
stage of partnership, it is a healthy sign
of the times, and a plain indication that
true Republicanism possesses within it
self the means of curing all miner and

KNIGHTS TGHFLlB.
Tbe Uraud iTocessien of tbe Conclave a
Brilliant Success.
The grand precession of Knights Tem
plar in San Francisce yesterday was ad
mitted te have been an unqualified success.
The entire population of San Francisce
and 70,000 strangers have declared se.
Cheers were heard along the entire route.
What is the best represented, if net the
most numerous conclave ever held in this
or any ether country is te the people of
the city eminently gratifying after the
time of their momentary discouragement.
They have spared neither pains or expense
te 'return the compliment extended te
their representatives te the Chicago con cen con
elave. As early as 8 o'clock crowds began gath
ering in the streets along which the
precession would pass and by 9 o'clock
Market street was rendered impassable,
except in the roadway, which, by police
orders was kept clear for the passage of
the knights. At half-past nine command -eries
began te arrive and take up the
positions assigned te them in the
streets off Market, which were re
served for that purpose. At 10 o'clock
all had arrived, and at that hour the scene
presented from the gallery of the Baldwin
hotel was one net te be readily forgotten
by these San Franciscans who had the
geed fortune te witness it. On one side
there was a mass of decorations extending
as far as the triumphal arcb, and en the
ether 4,000 richly clad knights, represent
ing every state and territory in the Union.
Te the old California pioneer it was some
thing beyond realization. His mind re
verted te the sand hills and he was dazed.

A BEAUTIFUL. CAN OK.
Handsome Addition te Lancaster Meating
circled.
Probably one of the handsomest and
most complete outfits in the line of s tiling
crafts ever seen in this vicinity is that pos
sessed by Mr. Harry Weedman, of the
Fulton cotton mill. It is a sraal I, decked,
lap streak canoe, fourteen feet in length
and in width twenty-seveu inches. Tae
little vessel is built of white cedar, with a
deck of red Spanish cedar, and iti equip
ment is admirable. Air tight cempart
ments are placed at either end of the beat,
making a capsize next te an impossibility .
A socket in the forward part is fitted with
a small main mast, te which is attached a
neat triangular sail, te be used when any
wind is going. Tbe beauty of the arrange
ment ei iuis tatter apparatus consists in
its being se placed that in case of an
overturn, it will disengage itself from the
beat and float away, thus leaving the bold
mariner unencumbered. The centre
beard is in soimater form, its extremity
pointing rearward, and the rudder also
has its forward portion rounded, se a3 te
be enabled te glanoe off any obstructions
it may meet with iu iu passage
The steering apparatus is worked by
means of pedals into which the feet are
fitted, and a double bladed paddle, weigh
ing scarcely three pounds, is used for pre
pulsien iu calm weather. The name of
the staunch little craft is " Stella Maris,"
and its entire weight, fully rigged, is net
mere than fifty-five pounds. Its internal
arrangement is all that could be
desired, there being plentiful space te
store ammunition and prevision for
a lengthened voyage. The beat al
ready has quite a history. It was
used by Rev. Dr. Clarence E. Weedman
in his perilous running of the St. Law
rence rapids a month age, an account of
which appeared in the Intelligencer at
the time. Her occupant Blept in her dur
ing the 13 days spent in his daring feat.
She has just returned from her builder, J.
H. Rushton, of Canten, N. Y., after hav
ing undergone a complete overhauling.
She will seen be launched en the Cones Cenes
toga, where her superior charms will
make her easily queen of tbe waters.
Drank ana Disorderly.'
Wm. Ream, the scissors grinder who
was arrested for drunken and disorderly
conduct en complaint of bis wife, was

week past, during whieh time he had
abused his wife, broken up the household
things, and threatened te hang himself,
but no ether complaint was made against
him than one of drunken and disorderly
conduct. The alderman sent him te jail
for 20 days.
Charles Lenhart and his wife Ellen were
also committed for short terms for drunken
and disorderly conduct.
Elizabeth Williams, colored, arrested
for drunken and disorderly conduct, was
taken before Alderman Alex Dennelly this
