Tin Democratic resolutions nfllrm tlie
continued devotion of tlie putty te its
ancient principles, which demand n
faithful observance of the constitution
nnri tlie 1iivh, nnd nn economical and
efficient administration of the govcrn gevcrn
mcnl, which shall preserve tlie rights of
all and against the encroachments of tlie
few. They dcnotince ence mero the
electoral fraud which unseated our
Justly elected president. They favor n
tariff for revenue limited te the needs of
an economical administration and ad
justed se as te encourage productive in
dustrlesat humu ; and call for tlie aboli
tion of tlie internal revenue. They
declare duvotieu te the interests of labor
and call for the proper control of coipe
rations and monopolies. They commend
thostate administration, denounce the
refusal of the KepuuIIcans of the Leg Is Is
latuie te prevent a fair apportionment
et the state ; and finally proclaim Mr.
Itandall as the choice of the Pennsylva
nia Democracy for the presidency.
The resolutions nre all very geed, se
far as they go, and are clear enough en
all Issues, save, perhaps, that of the
tariff, upon which the declaration is
copied from that of the Ohie Democracy.
Itlsfera tariff forrevenuo and protection,
or as it used te be expressed, a tariff for
rovenue with Incidental protection. It
does net declare the measure of the pro
tection which our industries Bball have
further than that it shall be sutlicient te
encourage them. The practical question
Is as te hew heavy tlie duties need te be
te secure this result. This 1s left te
Domecratlc statesmanship te determine,
and In truth it is a matter bejend the
scheme of a state convention te declare
If a Democratic administration should
be placed in power under such a decl.un,
tlen at tills it would knew tint it had
two things te de ; tlrst, raise no mero
revenue that is needful for ati economical
administration of the government, nnd
second, te lay the duties se as te protect
the established industries of the country.
The position taken by this declaration
against a tariff for revenue only is clear
enough. It cills for a tariff for .sutlicient
ravenue only that will be protective. It
is a call thai may be subscribed te by
all Democrats but thoae who are op
posed te a revenue tariff. Se long as the
tariff laid only raises suillclent revenu
for the needs of the country, these who !
believe in raising the country's revenue
by tariff duties, need net complain that
these duties are protective as well as
productive. It is true Hut it will be
dltllcult te lay duties th.it are at once
protective and productive, but that is
the task proposed for a Democratic ad
ministration, and until it fails te per
form it, it will be tee seen te decline that
it cannot be done.
Thofree trader, who does net want
even a tariff for revenue, of course,
will net agree te the Pennsylvania
and Ohie declaration, but there is
net a respectable party of these
new uiife'ding their colors. They
have net yet get farther than te
demand a tariff for revenue only ; and it
D net unreasonable te expect that they
should be content with a tariff for neces
sary revenue only, that will at the s line
tlQOJ"icounige home industries, if it is
possible te sj lay"trie" revenue import as
te secure this encouragement. Tlie
Pennusylvania Democrats did net ex
press their opinion as te whether the
Morrison tariff bill afforded proper
protection te hore.9 Industries or whether
it would ralsa a revenue no mere than
Bufilcieutfer the need of the government
economically administered. Probably it
would raise a larger revenue than is
needed and probably it would give all
the protection needed. If it does this
the Pennsylvania declaration is net hos
tile te the Morrison bill. The fact is, no
doubt, that the convention if It had
expressed an opinion upon it, would
have disapproved of it ; but this would
lather have been because it conceived
that the work of ndjtistinc tlie tariff
should be left te the incemi.ig Deme
emtie administration mid should net be
attempted at the rump end of a Kepub
llcau one.
The Education IIIII.
The nialr bill appropriating 77,u)0,
000 te aiil in the establishment and sup
pert of common ecIioeIs in the states
passed tlie .Seuate en Monday night by a
vete of ; te II, thirty two senators
eeing.nuseut. This latter fact it is
claimed accounts for the light vote
against the bill. It isdilllcult te con
ceive a piece of legislation of mero dan
gerous character than this. The pill has
been sugar-coated by the declaiatiens of
its supporters that the cause of educa
tion will be advanced by Uh enactment,
and consequent morality and greater
respect for law will fellow ; but the dese
will be none the less disagreeable- in its
after effects.
The constitution et the united States
was ordained "te establish justice, in
euro domestic tranquility, provide for
the common defense, promote tlie general
welfare and secure the blessings of liberty
te ourselves and our posterity," and for
these general objects, tlie taxing power
was placed in tlie hands of Congress
The supporters of this bill attempt te
prove thut the constitution warrants it
under the vague clause "prometo tlie
general weKaie." A sovereign power of
this kind must be strictly construed if
the states are going te make any pretonse
et retaining their autonomy, as the
broadening of its scepe te tlie objects
provided for in the Uhilr bill must
legitimately lead te a total annihilation
of Btnle rights and the establishment of
a centralized form of government.
The tenth article of amendment of the
constitution expressly declares that the
powers net delegated te the United
Slates, nor prohibited by it te tlie states,
were expieasly resprved te the states
respectively. Tlie power of looking
after the educational wautoef ita citizens
belongs te the atate in its individual
capacity, und when the great taxing
powpr.the meat Jrapertnnt Hint the citi
zen' can entrust te his govermnont, la
called into play te usurp that power, the
reign of n pateiual government must
begin.
It Is te be iieihhI that the Democratic
Heuse will hurry this bill te oblivion,
where It properly belongs.
Kbmmim statisticians assert that,
taking the whele area of the United
States Inte calculation, the ratio is one
doctor te every MO persons. In New
Yerk city it Is one te fxk) persons. Of
these, net mere than ten may be said te
be en the sick list. Of this ten, net
mero than six or seven are nble te pay
for attendance Tlie average of fees re
01 ved liy physicians ptr annum in this
ostimate would be $soe te $l,00i a ear
When It is remembered that the eneiin
eus practice of many prominent phjsi
clans In the cities raises the average, tlie
outlook for the new aspirant for medi
cal honors is net very bright.

The following particulars of the Allen

Chairman llensel's veLv, as he called
the delegates te order in the meniiug, was
pleasing music after the headlong tush of
dirceid from the brass band. It was the
tlrst time iu the history of conventions
when ene was called te order en time.
Theto were no bosses te wait for, hew
ever, lleusel was equally prompt in the
dispatch of business. As seen as prayer
was ever Heuse Cletk Sleek was tnade
Bceretaiy and the tell of delegates
perfected. KxSicretary Dili was ree
egni.ed. lie n mi mated It Milten Spcer
for temporary chairman and it "as
cariied by aeoiamatieu with a great chrer.
The convention shouted wheu Heusel
named A. 11. Dili aud William I. Scott te
conduct Speer te the chair, and there was
a gieat deal of hurrahing until Speer had
been h.iudt-d ever and introduced by
lleisel. Spctr's speech was brief but
neat. Hu arm compliments te Itandall
were leciiveil with enthusiasm. There
was great geed humor every bro.
Monaghan, of Chester, was cheered when
he arose en the extreme left of the hall te
move the app iintmeut of several commit

always, but the list raiely includes the
names i f all who want te get there. While
the report was b-ing acted up in e
Lietiicuant Governer Latta occupied the
chair. When Speer resumed the chair he
was again received with cheers.
Congressman Mutchler brought in the
rejKirt of the committee en resolution'
He read the resolutions from the platViui
amidst thu repeated cheers of the pi "pi
who by this time were packed oer irin r
The reference te Tilden, and later iti
itandall rcsolufeu provoked an unusual
storm of delight.
lluDdnll CslUil tot,
When the res.'lutiens bad beeu adopted
there was a wild call for Knudall. A
committce,cetnpod of Gregery of Greene,
Hejlo of Fajotte, Vlu'chleref Nerthamiv
teu, Wagner of F.uukl.u, and Latta ei'
Westmerelaud, was scut after ltimlall.
aud as the ceiuuiiitee ou credentials had
uet returned the delegates fell te talking
with each e'.her till the persistent way
warduess of the brass band made siiiih
diversion impossible. A recess of thirty
minutes was liually taken. Meantime, id
rei-pon.-ie te a very general call. Colonel
Sewdcn threw in some icmarks, parllj
about Allentown aud the rest about the
tautl feature et the platform, which me,
his cordial approval.
While Sewdeii was speaking the com cem com
mittce appeared ou the platform with
Itandall. l'Le convention at once arose te
its fcet aud gz.vtt him the heartiest wol wel wol
ceme, which continued for some time. I
broke out again w'len Sewden auuouneil
that he gave way te the uex,t pres.d -nt of
the United States Ax rfoen as the Demi
cratie enthusi.vjin ceulJ be in home meas
ure suM'i-ed .Mr. Kind ill speke briefly.
HiJ&aid he desired te acknowledge his doep
and lasting obligation te the representa
tives of mere than four hundred thousand
Democrats of this oemmonwoalth and te
thank them for the high ii )Lnr which
they had un.m.meusly bestowed upon
him. He did net attribute this in auy
degree te personal merits, but nc gtnzed
it as an approval of the resolute aud
aggrossne omrse which he had pursued
in Congress in advociecy of these cirdinal
principles advocated by Jofkrsen, Jackseu,
I'elk and Huchaeau. He premised that
as it had been with him in the pistseit
will be te the end. Mr. Ilinda.i retired
amidst another burst of apptaiie.
At this time the committee ou creden
tials presented ita repjrt, through Senater
Kenuedy, its chairman. Tue report

U U II Hen ler Cenuiuiaiiixn
it was ttien ngrtcd that candidates
should be put iu nomination without
speeches. William M. Piatt, of Wjeminir;
W. W. II Davis, of Hucks; M. F. Klliett,
of Tiega, and Jehn H. UUedes, of Dela
ware, were put in nomination for con
gressiuuu at-large. Klhett's uame was
withdrawn by Chairmau Speer. Piatt
took thu iloer te make a sjieech ler him
self and succeeded he well in the midst
of a great deal of confusion, that he rub
bed out any remote chance he might have
had of the nomination. The roll e ill was
begun and had net proceeded far wheu it
was patent tli.it Davis was going te have
ninety live out of the ene hundred vetes.
Dill biiecceded in uetting un.iuiineu.s con
sent toneminato Davis by acolamatieu.This
brought out a round of cheers and Davi.s,
who was en the stage. speke briefly, ask
ing time te doatde whether he should ae
cept or deoline. tioneral Davis will deter
inine this when ollleially notified and will
probably accept, although he did all he
could te proveut his own nomination.

band's bitterest hate, and he plunged
mero desp-M-atelythan ever into dissipation
nnd subjected his wife te oruel personal
treatment. Mrs. Iiimir. cirefully looked
after the plantation and deposited her
money with a country dealer six miles
