MontRemcry county Inn luff, by n
Jperler system of making reads In raeat

the Schuylkill river and the approach te

have te pay for the use of It Finally a
report of viewers was secured, making It
i county bridge, nnd nt the session of
tbe grand Jury last week there was tre
mendeua popular pressure brought upon
that body, both for and against the con
firmation of this report. It resulted in
tlie defeat of tlie free bridge movement
after great oxeltemout But the Issue is
only postponed. It willba renewed and
continued, no doubt, until Anally travel
Is made free. The rcinie movement is In
progress in many ether puts of Pennsjl
vanla. It happens that many count)
towns in this state are situated en
streams crossed with tell bridgfs
Seener or later they must go. The tin
forge must be raised.
And after the tell bridge, the tell
read I We have entirely tee many of them
hereabouts. Lancaster is almost as
much cut off fiein free approach as a
walled tewu. It is net creditable te this
rich and populous and highly improved
county of ours that it cannot, m ilutain
geed free public reads. The present
teudency Is te increase the number of
turnpikes rather than improve the class
of men elected supervisors. The people
who complain about an increase of read
tax And pretlt in the s'eck of turnpike
companies; and It is ue wonder they p.n
when their projectors nre allowed te
seize public reads laid out ny the county
and taken I rem tlie laud owners for free
public travel aud convert them te tlit ir
own private use without any allowance
for damages. The very fact that the
turnpikes pay their ewneis se well is
proof that the) de net pay the public.

Tlicy All Decline.
The number of heretofore prominent
presidential raudidates who fay the)
will decline the ofllee is getting te be
notably larger. Once the idea about the
presidency was that it was an etllce te
be neitluTseught nor declined. Of latf
years, however, the idea has" been that
any one who wanted it needed te strug
gleferit. The iniscarriag. of numer
ous iidveuturei et this kind spini te
have thrown presidential aspirants info
another opinion as te their proper course ;
and they advance upon Mm lint named
position se far us te vow they would net
take it if it was offered them. Mr.
Blaine is said te have se decluied. Ne
one believes Bialna, of court. Mr
Edmunds, a une months age, s-tdz-
cd an opportunity in the Episcopal
convention te refuse its pipsidenrv and
te say Hint he was net a candidate for
any prt a dency. Mr. Tilden's friends
have been arduously encaged for a long
timem asserting that he would net h no
the presidency. Aud 1:1 truth se very
much disposed are our sta'csn en
te pu en the nole (iiV'.'en attitude
that w hi 0 Almest without presidential
candidates six months before the con
ventlens meet. Even Jehn Mierumn,
who is known te hanker after the place
as no man ever did before, dues net pte
sent himself, while his brother, the gtu
end, who stauds somewhere en tlie fence
between the two parties, would net take
the nomination from either, lie sa)s.
President Arthur is pietty nearly the
only candidate booked ; and lie is there
by the foice of ciiciimatances, being
president and in the nature et things
ready te be president again.

Genejiai. Jeus Ji. Gorden, of Geer
gla, expresses the following sensible view
upon tariff legislation ; "I am pro
foundly convinced that the true policy
of this government is te reach by gradual
approaches the position generally ad veca
ted by the Democratic party a tariff for
revenue only, and for such an amount of
revenue only as will stilllce te support the
government administered en the meit
economical basis nud in the interest of
the jrreat body of Its people Ilencel
hepe te sea that party triumph in the I
v
next presidential contest But if the
people at the next geifcral election place
the Democratic party Jn power I elieuld
deprtt'ate any sudden or radical legisla
tion upon this delicate : nddltusiilt prob
lem, lest disaster teimpntant Industries
might fellow nnd thus retard rather than
lias'en the consummation of this twiii-il
cent policy. This country is se vast and
its interests aud industries dei-endrnt
one upon another te a greater r 1. de
gree are se varied ami lntrwevn ti.atthe

There Is no ureal dlfllculty in reoencil
ing the supposed cenlllctiug views of
le.idlngDemecrts lit some such pnpesl
tieu as that expressed by Gen. Gorden.
It is substantially the idea of the last
Ohie platform adopted In New Jersey,
Vlrgfuia and Pennsjlvauia. Even the
K'-ntucky s'ute convention ilul net go
fir bejend it. There may be 11 few ultra
free tinders w he demanded mere, and n
few extreme protectionists wh will net
concede se much. Hut they must stand
fr m under. The patty will unile under
lis conservative leaders and they are net
se far apart as some apprehend.
