Tlie Adventures or n I'liieteii.
We lienr pleasantly of Senater dm
eren, he long lest te us, through a pub
llslied letter te lits father. He Is
traveling hi a phivten through Lnglund
en his way te Scotland te visit his
friend, Le.il Klncnird. He has no com
pany but till wife, and Is enjoying lilm
Belf Rre.it ly. He lisia net seen an
American newspaper for two weeks, and
has forgotten all about politics. Tl e
beautiful scenery of tlie country I e
traverses charms him, and the beautiful
buildings and ruins and things enchant
him. He get Inte a hop country ; which
causes him te think that hop raising;
would be profitable here ; and Inte a
sheep county ; which leads him te say
that he believes sheep raising would pay
here, If geed shepherds could be get ,
and he is going te get Lord Kinc.iir.l te
recommend him a shepherd for his farm,
at Ilummelstewn, and he intends te in in
qulre into that hop businrss. Senater
Cameren proposes very proper Inquiries
for his leisure hours. It is a pity that
politics occupied se much of the bona
ter's leisure tlme at home that he
did net have a eh uiee te learn
mero than he teems te knew of
his home iiidustiies. The hop Indus
try is a very flourishing ene in portions
of our country and a section of our
neighboring state of New Yerk is do de
voted te it. It lias been an exceedingly
profitable business lately, and doubtless
hop growing would be very much mere
extensive than it Is. but fei the viclssl
tudes that attend It. Sometimes the
prlce is very high and sometimes very
low, being mero variable than any ether
crop. Sometimes Iicentt.ick the vines
and ruin the whele crop. The uncer
tiintyef the product and of the price
inake hop grew ing a risky business and
check the euthusi.ism te go into it which
big profits often tend te excite, senator
Cameren, when he comes home, can
probably lltitl out a great deal mere
about the hop culture than he can pick
up abroad; but, nevertheless, his in
quiry is praiseworthy. There is nothing
like traveling with an inquiring mind
and an alert eye. If Senater Cameren
continues his tour for a considerable
season he will he much better titled te
be a sen.iter.it its end than he was at Us
beginning. It would be profitable te us
te exleud his leave of absence through the
uet session of Congress, if he would
undertake te tiavel in the geed cempuiy
of his wife alone during his absence. It
would de him great geed phjslcally and
mentally. Senater Cameren is a clever
gentleman with a geed undeistaudiiig.
Ills education In useful information has
been neglected and he does net knew
as much about hops and sheep as he
should. When he brings that Scotch
shepherd te Ilummelstewn and provide.)
l.im with a Heck of sheep, he will find
that he muse next furnish him with an
iu,t of the Legislature forbidding dugs te
go at large, before his sheep can wax fat
for the butcher. If the senator had
known much about farming, his enthusi
asm for hops and sheep culture would
be lees than It is. Ilia example leads te
the conclusion that his civil s-ervice re
form steps where It eiuht te commence
in leaving our legislators e .t of the list
oteniclals te be examined. A geed
course of questions en political economy
and the industries of the eeuiitiy
would be excellent as an en
terlng exercise te our legislative hills
In lieu of it a foreign tour seems te be
an excellent thing ; an 1 we suggest, by
the way, te our Democratic represent.!
tlvesat Harrishurg that they propose te
the llepubliean henatets that tlie Legis
laiure au.iii uiiie a recess, Willi lull piy,
and that the state shall charter pli.etens
for the crowd, with which they maj
traverae tlie hills and alleys of the
state in search of inleimatiuii en the
subject of apportionment. We .ire quite
Buretliat when they reissemble th .q
portiennients will be speed 1 1) made. Hut
te return te our senatei , we are truly
glad that he is enjoying himself. The
picture of his happy tour m the amiable
company of his wife is an interesting
one. That the senator is able te enjoy
himself se much in tins simple way
shows that theie is a great deal of geed
in him. That he Is happy thus in for
getting nil about p ditirs .should demon
atrate te him that pihtics are net his
trade. He does lastly Iwttei as a bus
band. His wife, as in duty b Hind, in ikt s
herself agreeable te him, which the con
feunded politicians won't de unless lie Is
all the tlme cramming them with fat
elllces. They are net an amiable net of
men, and the company of a geed woman
la far preferable. Se the senator learns.
t'eacn en Laber.
Mr. Jehn Honeli has been telling the
Senate committee en iducatlen and
labor what he thinks of these subjects
He tells them that from beluga tramp
en a western prairie he has leached a pay
roll of his workmen amounting te eei
u million ami a half or dollars a year.
And he him net hud a holiday for lerty
jears. Frem which he draws thededue"
tleu that an iiidiihtrletis weikumu who
does net indulge In holidays cm always
manage te own tils heuse. Though Mr.
Iteach himself has never owned the
heuse he lived In ; which seems te be an
intimation of his opinion that the lu
dustrleiis workmen can de better with
his meney than te buy a house. Still
Mr. Reach is in favor of building assecl
atleiiB and bays that Chester has mauy.
Trem which we infer again that Mr.
Iteach thinks that the Industrious work,
man who prefers te boa workmen should
invest his money in a heuse j but if he
wautBtebea niamifaeturer, employing
ether workmen, he should Invest It in
something else.
Mr. Iteach has no objection te trades
unions ; but he objects te these unions act
Ing as a bedy.when his workmeu have any
complaints. Llke in inufacturers goner
ally he pretests that he will net be die
tated te in mauaglng his business. Jut
Mr. Itoaeh thinks that he Is a fair man,
and that Individual representatives te
him by his workmen will always result
charmingly for them. He declares that
Ijo has spent its much ns half a day in
communing with elicnr. Once he had n
strike; and he settled If. by dividing Ids
workmen into three classes. The first
was composed of the skilled men who
were saving or their materials; he In
creased the wages of these. The next
clas comprised these less skilled and net
saving; the wages of these he did net
Incte.tse. Thethlrd let consisted of his
drunken and unsteady workmen ; and
these he discharged. Mr. Iteach acted
wisely, but he would have been still
wiser ir he had had no drunken or tin
steady workmen te discharge.
The most surprising statement made
by Mr. Hoach was that iron ships can be
built here cheaper than In Lngl.ind. The
cost of officering our snips, however, is
much greater than that of efileerine
Kngllsh ships. Mr Ueach has achieved
a high reputation as the champion sub
sidy beggar or the country. It is gran
ting te knew that the ship building
Interest here is ntloistse limit Ishmg

There is no doubt that the city, acting
