many of them In llils sadux. someei
tbem are wlsa enough te say nothing,
-? --wisdom or the old ndnge which teaches
V' .that In sucu caies tne least saiei me
, soonest mended." Senater Edmunds is
' ia this class aud ex-Senater Conkling,
who both in the pa3t have been very free
in their denunciation of Blaine, but who
new are as qulet as mice. It is a question
hew much they care for his election ;
probably net much. But they care a
geed deal for their own political pesl
Hen; and as they have no political
future outside the Republican party, It
behooves them, they think, te nb3tain
from kicking it through its candidate.
There is another let of smaller politl pelitl
clans, mere in number aud less in ability
te maintain themselves under a presi
dential frown, whoaie tempted te eat
their words of anathema against
Blaine aud te even declare that they
never uttered them. We have had a
little discussion lately about the demer
nllzed state of Mr. Bjrgner, of Ilarrls
burg, brought about by Ms telling what
he knew of Blaine's rascality, when he
was net his party'd presidential candi
date, and his denial of his utterance
after Btalue was nominated. Mr.
Bergner'fl former declarations have been
clearly preved against him and he has
subsided.
New comes Mr. James P. Jey, a
western railroad president of renown,
te deny that he ever said anything
derogatory te Mr. Blaine's eliaracter,
whereupon Henry Ward Beecher appears
tesayJbat In 1S77 after Mr. Blatne had
been neieateii by tiayes rer me nemi
nation at Cincinnati, Mr. Jey, at the
dinner table aud in the presence of a
number of persons, distinctly slid that
Blaine had offered as speaker te appoint
a committer) te suit Jey in a matter in
which he was Interested, if Jey would
tnke at par certain bands off his hands.
Mr. Jey seams te be a man who wanders
under temptation from the tiuth; which
is net surprising in a railroad president,
however.
Ne one hears new of
a Republican
contrary, the
business scare. On the
labor situation could net be) much worse
than it is. The newspapers day after
dny chrenicle the reduction in wages of
operatives of all kind?. One of the larg
est iron mills of the country, that of
Oliver Bres. te Phillips, of Pitts -burg,
employing 5,000 men, have
been forced te make a reduction of the
wnges of their men of twelve nud one
half per cent. The men declared that
this would leave them unable te support
their families, but the Arm was inexor
able. Yet, it was only a few weclJSage
that Harry Oliver, the Iijatkjf"tlie Arm,
donated $500Jar-tfiSpurpe33 of starting
1U44W5T Republican marching club. Is
it any wonder that the laboring men
feel that this Is a geed time te break
from the Republican party ? Thirty five
hundied of Oliver's men have struck,
and some of them have been excited te
such a pitch of indignation that they
have deliberately thrown their Republi
can campaign uniforms into the fur
naces. One need net bj surprised at
hearing a geed return for Cleveland en
November 4 from the great industrial
regions of Western Pmnsjlvanla.
Feu a party that claims te be the spe
cial patron of labor and the peculiar
friend of the werkiugmuu, the Republi
can organization ia Pennsylvania is m a
queer fix, indeed. It has three rich men
at the head of I'll electoral ticket, and
organized labor has bc-en in conflict with
each of them The printers have their
quarrel with Calvin Wells, and the
weavers with Jamej Dobsen j and new,
Gen. William Lilly, the new elector put
en in place of Leiseurmg, is .shown up in
a bad light. He is a regular Ciamis of
the coal regions, and had an income el
SICO.OOO last jear. Yet he hasgieund
the face of labur and was a party te
the scheme te compel Ins uerkiugnien
te asslgu all their waged in advance anil
reducu them te a dominion scarcely
mere tolerable thati absolute slavery.
Mr. Lilly tries te escape the rest ensibili
ty of his lirm in this famous iron clad
contrite"-, but it.ii aid that ha net only
knew of it, but approved it. Since its
publication he and hit party have ben
eacli trying te shifu the blame for it en
the ether, but they mom te have been
jointly and severally responsible, and
Lilly must go through thecanvnss handl
capped with the weight.
Mit. Timjisx's letter te the committee
which conveyed te lilm the congratula

characteristics. It is clear, concluslve

and in their methods of action. Ateveiy

setts. In the former Btate the Republi
cans have been startled by the resigna
tion from the Sixth electoral district of
Dr. Ferrest, a Hfe long and consistent
Republican. He manfully declares that
he cannot conscientiously support
Blaine, and does it with it dignity far
removed from any desire te make him
self conspicuous. Mr. Hill, of Massa
chusetts, a legislative leader of the Bay
state, and one of its best political
orators, declines te stump for Blaine for
similar reasons. These, however, are
only political straws that are floating en
the surface of the political tide. Under
neath is a strong current of hostility te
the Republican candidate that cannot be
seen, but will be heavily felt at the polls
en election day. The Republican race

tlrcat Want el the Oenutrj-.'l he Only
Vtar of Accen I'llililuR It.
Iu response te the resolutions presented
te him from the Domecratio national e n n n
vontk.e, Samuel J. Ttlden has written the
following letter :
G keystone, October 0.
Chairman and gentlemen of the com cem com
mlttce : I thank you for the kind terms
In which von have eemmnuicatrd the
resolutions concerning me adopted by the
late Domecratio national convention. I
share your conviction that reform
in the administration of the fed
eral government, whleh is our great
national want aud is Indeed necessary
te the rcstoratten and preservation of the
Kovernmcut itself, can only be achieved
through the ngouey of the Democratic
party and by installing its representative
in the chief magistracy of the I nited
States.
The uoble histencil traditions of the
Domecratio rarty, the principles iu which
it was educated and te which it has ever
been in the main faithful, its freedom Irem
the corrupt influences which grew up in
the proleugod possession of power nud the
nature of the elements which constitute it,
all oentribnto te qualify it for that mission.
The oppeMto oharactenstlcs aud con
dltiens which atiaeh te the lltpublienu
parly make it hopeless te expect that that
party will be able te give hotter govern
tnent than the debtsiug system of abuses
which during its ascendancy bis infected
official ami political Hfe in this ceuutry.
The Democratic party had its origin in
the efforts of l he mero advanced patriots
of the Revolution lOTesiat the perversion
of geverumen' from tlie ideal contempla
ted by the peiple. Among its conspicuous
founders nre Beujimiu Franklin, and
Themas Jeffersen ; Samuel Adiras, and
Jehn Hancock, of Massachusetts; CK-irge
Clinten and Uebert B Livingston, of New
Yerk, and Ooerao Wythe and -James
Madisen, of Virginia. Frem the oleetien
of Mr. Jeffersen as president, in li?00, for
sixty years the Democratic party mamly
directed our national policy. It uxteu led
the bouudaries of tlie republic and Hid
the loundatieus of all our national great
uesi, while it preserved the limitations
imposed by the constitution a ul main
tained a simple au 1 pure sya'nm of
domestic sdmiuisttatien.
On the ether hand, the Republican party
has always been dominated by principles
which lnver legislation ler tlie ueuent ei
particular classes at the expouee of the
hotly of the people. It has become deeply
tainted with the abuses which naturally
grew up during a long possession of nn
checked power, especially in a period of
civil war nud false flnauee The patriotic
and virtuous olemeuts in it are new unabte
te emancipate it from the sway of hellish
interest which subordinate public duty
te personal greed. The lnusi hopeful of
the be?t citizans it ceutains despair of iu
amendment oscept through us temporary
expulsion from power.
It has been beastingly asserted by a
modern Massachusetts statesman, ttrug
gling te rcoencilo himself and bis follevrors
te their presidential candidate, that the
Republican party cjataies a dispropor
tionate share of the wealth, tLe cul-
ture and the intolligeneo of the cenutry.
The unprincipled Qrafteu, when taunted
by James II, with his personal want of
conscience, answered : 'That is true, but
I belong te a party that has a greit deal of
conscience."
Such reasoned forget tfiattaime
claim has be&a-iSaJe in all asns and
I count riSSTuy the defenders of old wrongs
against new loferms. It was alleged by
the Tenes of the Amencan Uovelut.on
against the patriots of that day. It was
repeated against Jeffersen and afterwards
against Jackeen. It is alleged by the
conservatives against theso who, in Eng
land, are new endcaering te enlarge the
popular suffrage.
All history shows that informs in gei
eminent must net be expected from theso
who sit serenely en the social mountain
tops enjoying the beneflts of the existing
order et things. Evcu the Divine Auther
of our religion found his followers ne:
among the solf-cemplaceut Pharisees, but
among the low minded tishormen. The
Republican party is largely made up of
theso who live by their wits and who ap
pear In politics te advantage ever the rest
of maukind similar te that which their
daily lives are devotel te Heeuring in pri
vate buBinesB. The Domecratio party
consists largely of thoe who hve by the
work of their hands and whose political
action Is governed by their sentiments or
imagination. It results that the Derao Derae Derao
eratio party, mere readily than the Re
publican party, can be ra'iuldcd te the
buppert of referm measures which iatolve
a sacrifice of selfish iLterrete.
The indtspcnsible uecessity of our times
Is a change of administration in the great
executive elticeH of the country. Thi.s, iu
my judgment, .can only be accomplished
by the election of the Democratic candi
date for president and vice president.

The lock-out at Oliver Bres. & I'uillips'

of conversation among all elasaca, Tuesday.
On the beuth Bide the weikmen gathered
en the streer. cernerd and in resert.s and
discubaed the situations, while the mcr
chants and ntorekcopern bewailed their
fate In case of a Ien. hii'ge. The tA'e
mills are the life of the Twenty tilith and
Twenty ninth wards, ever $100,CX)0 boieg
distributed te the empleyes monthly.
The workmen affected by the reduction
are making no effort te wecure : com, re

tbe llrm'rt notion aud mauy threats of ex
trcme incisures te be taken in ai.se an
attempt nas made te fill their places with

The stiike has assumed a political aspect
eutuuly, aud in Saturday'n Domecratio
parade a large number of the striker, who
nave ueiotefore been strong Kcpuuiieius,
will turn out iu their working clothes,
with dinner buckets labeled " High tntiff

A political club was organized Tuesday
night, which will tupjiert Blaine and

girls from making run?, se nt the end of
the gnma the ecore steed 37 te 14 in favor

in great earnest during the gams
and ene or two became quite angry when
it was intimated that they could net pliy

step had set.ij enough te fall en the ball
when she found it te be coming swiftly,
aud in that way made several ceed pteps.
Several of the girls are really pretty aud all

audience was with them all afternoon.

While n great many of our rcaders have
heard el the " Linoaster Pieoaterlal com
pany " and of their Oermau carp peuds n
short distance north of this city, en the
Jlnuheim pike, n comparatively sinall
number are familiar with their 'location
and extent, and n still umaller number
with the fact that they are the larccst,
beat arranged, host kept, nnd best etecked
cirp peuds in the United States, net even
excepting the government peuds at Wash
iugten.
The Lancaster Piscatorial oempauy was
ergnnlr.sd two years age aud oeusists of
Mr. David M. Mayer, prcsident ; Dr.
Miles L Davis,, secretary and director, aud
Dr. S. T. Davis, treasurer.
The peuds are located en a live aero
traet of swamp aud meadow laud belong'
leg te D. L. Mayer, uud are supplied with
nu abuudanoe of water llewlug from six
largu springs, nil of thorn being con
trolled by means of pipes aud steps and
drains, se that the water of ene or nil of
the ponds eau be raised or lowered at
pleasure. The oempauy has secured i
twenty years lease of these springs and
tbu flve acres of laud adjelulng.
Thore are at present four large ponds
and several small ones in use the largest
oentaiutug two and a half acres of water
surface, with an island near the centre,
covered with shrubbery, flowers audcholeo
grasses The water in this pond varies in
depth Irem ene te six leet, the deeper per
tieus being intended as wiuter quarters for
the llsh, they being thus enabled te get
below the frost line, no matter hew sovere
the weather may be, and there deze away
lu torpor the long winter months.
THE FISH IIOl'SK.
Adjoining this peud Is the fish house, a
frame building 20 feet in width and 100
feet leug. It is provided with a large peel
constructed of beards nnd extending the
full length of the room in whieli are
placed the " stoekors " or yeaug llsh that
have attatucd a length of 1J te 4 inches.
The peel is se arrauged that the water eau
at nuy time be drained off, ee that tte tisti
may be easily takeu from it for trausper
Ution te ether ponds. The llsh heuse
contains also a large boiler or htcamer for
heating tlie water iu cold weather. The
tlsh instinctively seek the warmer water
and assembling in numbers in the warm
er part et the peel, they are easily caught
in uets and placed iu large caus iu which
they are transported te ether peels in
distant parts et the country. The steamer
is also used for oeokingfood for the fish lu
tbe soveral ponds in summer time
E,.st of and adjoining the main pond, in
the spawning pond. This is l.li) feet in
length by 100 lect iu width. Iu it bave
been placed only liftcen large tlsh male
aud tomato, averaging auent 7 peumts
weight each. They breed se rapidly that
there are already many theusauds of small
fry iu the peud, which by next summer
may be utilized as "stocker?." The water
in this pond is in general from 12 te 15
inches in depth, aud in it are growing con
siderablc quantities of swamp willow and
ether shrubbery, en which the llsh feed
aud among which they spawn and shed
their milt. There is a deep hole in this
pond for the tlsh te winter in.

the ethers; being in Hoef part merely v Obleuder, thejury en Tu
or tbe springs The bottom of the pond
is full of raphes, nquatie grasses and small
shrubs of various kinds, ou which the carp
delights te feed. The pond is perhaps
400 leet long and 200 fdet wide. It con
tains net less than 1U,UU0 carp from two
te four years old, besides many thousand
of small fry Seme of the larger fish are
27 inches iu length a id weigh from 0 te
7 pounds.
HOW THE FISH AIIE CAI'TUIIED.
During the past few days the company
has had a number of men employed in
draining off the water of the two larger
ponds, for the purpose of catehing and
asserting the fish according te their size. As
the water is very gradually drained off the
llsu tcelc the deep noies,abevo relcrred te,
where they are easily caught in drag neta
the meshes of which are sufficiently large
te allow nil the small fry te escape, very
few Us i than two inches In leugth beiug
taken. Frem the two aero pond, Dr.
Davs states, there wcre taken 0,100 carp
et alt sizes, wuila theusauds upon thou
sands of small fry escaped through the
menhe of the net.
A representative of the Intellieknceu
visited the premises en luesday at which
time half u dezsu meu wero engaged in
draining the upper peud. Nearly all thu
water had beeu drained off exeapt in the
deoper pait near the lower corner, aud iu
another dicp place whieli bad beeu dug
out around a hpring that rises from the
bottom of the pond. The men were fhh
in thia spring when our reporter wan there.
They used a drag net ten or twelve feet
long aud about half as wide. At every
haul, they caught from one te two
buckets full of fish, from two inches te
eighteen inches in length. In two hours'
time there must have beeu ten bushels
et tlsh taken in the net. These
were carried out upon the bank and as
sorted, tbe smaller ones or "stoekcrs"
being thrown into large tin cans contain
ing water, uud carried thenes te the tlsb
house, into which they were dumped te
have them bandy when tbe time comes for
shipping them te ether ponds, The two
year olds, or "spawnera" wero placed in
oue of the small ponds, and the large fish
iuteuded for market, and weighing from
three te seven pounde.woro placed in a per
fectly clear peel of spring water adjaoent
te the fish heuse. This peel is 50 fcet long by
13 feet wide. It 1h built of brick and has
a depth of uet mero than 3 feet. The
brick fleer aud walls are laid in cement, se
that it is perfectly oleau nnd water-tight.
It ia fed with pure water from a two inch
spring that beila up from a walled well
four feet deep near ene end of the peel.
This waterhas a regular temporature of 52
degrees.
The objeot in plaeing the market
able fish in this peel is te oleanse and
purify their lleab from tbe taint of
mud or the vegetables en whleh they feed
while iu the natural peels. It is
well known that milk and butter
and oveu lleth of animals taste
of the feed upon whleh they feed ;
and hence an objection urged against
carp is that as th y inhabit muddy places
aud feed en anuatie plants their flesh is
unpleasantly tainted with them. It is be
lieved that by plaeing them iu the purify
ing peel and feuding them en bread,
beiled potatoes and ether pnre feed, their
llesh may be made ns sweet as that of
pond trout.
THE T1I11EI! VAUIETIKS Ol" CAlll'.
There are three well known varieties of
Oerman carp : the seals" carp, with rog reg
ular concentrically arranged soalei ; the
"mirror" carp, se called en aeoeunt of the
large mirror llke scales which run along
the sides of the body in a few rows, leav
ing the rest of the body bare ; aud the
"leather" carp, which has no scales at all,
or only a very few en the baek.
Theio is net mueh differoneo in the
merit of these three varieties of fish,
though tbe mirror earp, or Splegelkarpf,
sells at a higher price than the ethers.
StocketB sell at from 45 te $15 per hun
dred ; and spawners of two years old at
42 per pair. The larger and elder fish at
still higher figures.
The draining of the water from the
ponds gives tbe visitor an opportunity te
see the manner of tbeir coustruetloc. Tbe
waits or banks of UismarewiUt
of Wfc
cut from the meadew In whieh the ponds
nre located. The Inner surface of the
walls are llucd with potter's clay, which
is also found in nbundaiice en the land
leased by the oempauy. The outer sur
face of the walls nre liprapped with stene
nud planted with dwarf English basket
willow, the tangled roots of which de
mueh in strengthening thorn. The upper
pond, or that noarest the sptlugs which t
leed them, has a hlcher
bottom tluu the
oue next below It, nnd the third is lewrr
than the soeoud, and se en down te the
llsh beuse, whleh is lewrr still, By this
arraugemeut the peuds are fed by the
Bame water which passes successively from
the upper te the lower cues nnd thoneo
into tlie stream bslew
Te nvaid the possibility of an overflow,
oveu during the heaviest rainstorms, large
ditehes have been dug, with pieparly ar
rauged sluices, te carry off nil surplus
water.
The cempiuy have net ct pi iced any
of their carp oil market for table use, as
they have feuud it nnre prolltable te sell
t'jem te persons i;eiug into cup culture, of
which thore nre new great numbers in all
parts of the oeuntry. This winter, hew
ever, it is probable the company will place
their fish en the market, as be.sidcs the
huudruds of thousands new in the ponds
that have been dessribed, they have ever
12,000 carp in Sir. I Icrshey'n ponds, just
within tlie city limits, many of them beuig
of matketabb slee. Our citizens n ill thou
have au opportunity of judging for them
Bolvesef the moritef Oerunu eirp as an
edible fish.
ll'ClESSri'L ENTElimiSE
The Piscawrl 1 company has been at
several thousand dollars expanse lu lilting
up therie ponds, nud although they have
net yet placed a fish upon market, we nre
intormed that their receipts alranat equal
their expenditures. Besides the money
they have made by selliug fish te stock
ether ponds they have out from their ewu
ponds immonse quautltlcn of the purest
ice Inst winter they built a temporary
frame ice heuse near the principal pond,
aud filled it with 1,400 tenn of ice, aud
sold iu ndditien 1,000 leads mero which
was bought aud hauled te town by Messrs
Spreuger, Reiker, Reyer, Dainuth and
otheiH. All this ice was cut from a smgle
pond
The company is new engaged in the
erection of a large new ice house, 100 feet
long aud CO fet uidi, capable of holding
OOOOtousef ice. It will be llmshed by
tbe time cold weather nets in, aud should
the wlnter ba a faverable eue, it will net
only be tilled, but be will be stacked up
ou the banks, as it was last winter, for tbe
use of ethers. Altogether the tinancial
outlook el the company is very favorable,
ashy ucxtspiing they wilt have cleared
all expenses and bave a clear seveutcen
year lease, during which thev eau count
their ftains.
We oaunet cl se unit sluteh better than
te say a geed weid ter .1 Martin Eckman,
the mauager in charge. He U the right
man in the light place. Intelligent, in
dustiieus, reliable, and dirply interested
In llsh culture, no is with il a jelly geed
