O, 1384. Onr Comity at Xcn Orleans. Commissioner Themas, Mho Is in charge of Pennsylvania's interests and exhibits at the New Orleans Exposition, complains that few of the counties of Pennsylvania have shown any concern in making collections for display ut that great fair. It is te be hoped that it is aet yet tee late te remedy this neglect. An our state commissioner is an old Lancastrian, his appeal should come "with special ferce te this greatest of all rural counties in the country. The disclosure by the census of Lan caster's preeminence in agricultural wealth, resources and product?, is well calculated te stir our local pride, and that alone should be sufficient consideration te prompt a county dis play at New Orleans, where the exposi tion te be held, will rank only second te, if it does net in many features surpass the Centennial Exposition of Phlladel. phia. Our county has often been called a state in itself, and It well merits the distinction. The election returns Bhew at least three states casting n, less num ber of votes for presidential electors than Lancaster county. It Is in ether respects tbau numbers of population that the eminence of this county is most conspicuous. Its tobacco crop exceeds in value, it is true. that of nny ether county in the country, ,and indeed the aggregate of any state with two or three exceptions : with a greater numberef farms than any ether nuius wmn nuy eiutri,, ,, ,, .... , ,. : ,7 : in the whole country, d,9m et ttl. - ' mh! ? ers and. d these of four of the IreWlajmen-with its four millions of county, uave one, Us numbers exceed aiates and a number of the territories, while In value they nre ahead of one third of the states and territories ; its wheat crop exceeds that of Arkansas, Alabama, Colerado, Delaware, Maine, New Jersey, Seuth Carolina, Flerida, Rhede Island or Vermont ; and there are ten states which raise less corn ; the same relation holds true of many vege table and dairy products. But no exposition of Lancaster coun ty's resources would be complete which stepped with a display of its agricultural interests. Its mineral wealth is rich and varied, and Its manufactures Include a number nnd variett of establishments that are scarcely known and appreciated by its own people. A proper display of them, as a separate and special county affair, would be particularly striking at New Orleans, since they outnumber the aggregate manufactures, each, of Arkan sas, Plerlda, Colerado, Delaware. Ne braska, Nevada and Oregon, and almost equal these of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Seuth Carolina. "With such preeminent rank among the counties of its own state and of any ether commonwealth, and outranking in numerous features of material wealth se many members of the sisterhood e states, nothing could be mere fitting than an individual Lancaster county display at tut N- n Orleans fair ; and it is a circumstance much te be deplored if the occasion shall pass without being improved. Education In the Seuth, Alabama realizes te the full the neces sity of education in the body politic. Its Senate en Friday adopted a resolution declaring for the largest appropriations 'compatible with existing financial conditions" for the support of the public schools. Ner did it step there. It dis tinctly pledged Itself te the instruction of the untutored negrees of the state in these earnest words : " Especially and Eelemnly expressing the obligation and fixed purpose of the white people of Ala bama tenld in the education of the col ored children." Thus solicitously does the first legislative body of one of the most progressive of Southern common wealths express itself regarding the wel wel farelef the colored man. And yet are heard day after day Republican editors of the North declaring with vehemence con cen cering the irrepressible conflict of races in the Seuth. Particularly de these charges assume shape en the eve of an election, when intimidation of the colored man at the polls becomes the favorite war-cry. But If these blood thirsty editors, granting that they seriously believe the foolish utterances with which they are credited, would consider the situation, they must see that it is the white man's interest te lift his dark skinned brother as nearly as possible te his own plane. Te use In timidation upon him and keep him in ignorance is te nourish an ever increas ing element of the population, whose lafluence en the body politic must be always of a disturbing character. Wal lowing In ignerance the negre must be always the prey of the demagogue. And when their white brethren take meas ures ter their education in their rights and duties, they are simply carrying out the law of self-defense. It Is very gratifying te hear the an nouncement direct from Mr. Cleveland that he has net yet selected his cabinet, many positive reports te the contrary notwithstanding. lie knows ; nnd the public has learned te knew that he tells the truth. He has an unmertgaged claim te his office, and will make unfet tered choice of his counsellers. Fer the present he is governor of New Yerk,and will be occupied with the impertaut du ties of that high office until January 0, when he will hand them ever te his successor, leaving himself two months te get ready for his broader sphere at "Washington. That will be abundant time for him te pick out his cabinet, and when the selections are made the public and the newspapers will get rellable In formation from the most trustworthy sources. Meantime, no doubt, he will patiently listen te much geed advice, unmoved by much trivial speculation, und will come te conclusions by such methods a3 te command the respect of bis party and of the public. Tjie state of Nevada, holding two seats in the United States Senate, and with three votes in the electoral college, cast about 10 per cent, as many votes for president as Lancaster ceuntv. Kn mnra rotten boroughs like that In the Union 1 Since the presidential issue has been decided the retirement of the trade del. lar will perhaps be facilitated. The charge cannot be made that the party Introducing a bill for their recall is try ing te make capital for itself, for all parties new ngree that Congress should relieve theso who held the depreciated coin by redeeming it at par. Though it was originally intended te be used In the cemmerce of the country with China, Japan and Indn, a large portion of the total issue, $!e,9bp,. 4i0, came into circulation in the United States. It is believed that there are at present from $G,000,000 te ?10, 000,000 of trade dollars In the country, and as it was a legal tender in JSTG, it is dlshonerablo te the ceuutry net te remove the stigma which through the trade dollar's debasement attaches te the coinage of the ceuutry. The gov ernment could scarcely lese by exchang ing 112 grain dollars, new idle In Its vaults, for trade dollars of 120 grains of silver, each. The growth of organized Methodism In this country has been such a mar vel that the eyes of that church are quite naturally turned toward the coming celebration of Its centennial in Baltimore. In that city a hundred years age Themas Coke, a presbyter in the English church, ordained bishop by Jehn "Wesley, sum mened the scattered Methodist preachers of this country into the first American conference ; and it was there Prancls Asbury was ordained. The eloquence of statistics could net be mere inipres slve than In a contrast, of the Usurps of vveisiiii'pi'ia id uiiy, lint, U1B nappiest feature of the Baltimore Christmas con ference will be the flrat fraternal meeting since 1S11 of the Northern and Southern branches of the church.

A DjLun a week laid away ler twenty years will aggregate $1,500. Few are e peer that they cannot spare this weekly sum, audit will mean a comfortable home te him who perseveres in this slight ab. etinecce. Phesident AiiTnin authorizes the statement that he is net a Candida's for the United States Senate. The extent of this unqualified declination is Eoeinwhat medifl-d by the after statemen' that " if elected, he would be willing te sarva." Representative Celblkn, of Somer Semer sjt oeunty, may be the comprernieo eandidate for speaker of the Heuse, as Macce and Quay have net individual strength enough te put their favorite in the chair. They will find a tool 'a Cel burn who will ba subtervicut te their pur pose. Nearly all of the great singers, Patti, Lucca and the rest, have submitted te operations for the removal from the threat of enlarged tonsils te render the voice clearer and mere sonorous. Theso who hang entranced en their bird like notes, seldom consider the painful practice of which they are the outcome. 3Iit HandtV sparkling all day Phlladel. phia Atir has been com polled, by the pressure of advertising patrenage, te add a column te each page The instinct of the shrewd advertiser tells him when a news, piper circulates and is read ; and no better proof of the succets of the Aries could be adduced than that tha men who want te sell their gceia have found it out. Belva Lockwood made a very pcrti nent remark in her lecture, iu Baltimore, a few days age, en "The Era of Women" in connection with be me thoughts en the intluence of the gentler sex in the churches Shu averted that "the indications seem te point te the feet that iu the uet distant future the control of the church will be given te her, for thoyeuug men no longer gote ohureh." Deducting from the ex pression its sweeping emphasis, there is no denbt that the view is essentially correct. Fer the average young man, the church has few attractions. Whether it is because of the peer quality of the spiritual fetd effered or tha growth of an irreligious tendeney, the fact remains that the young men who attend Sunday services with a view te spiritual instruction are few and far between. Audit is ene of the ironies of fate that woman, whom the Christian religion raised from a condition of servi tude te her preeeut elevated place in hu man society, is new Its tower of strength.

The report of the secretary of the navy states the conclusions of the advisory beard, recommending the construction el ene cruiser of 4,500 tous,eno cruiser el3,0t'0 tens, ene dispatch vessel of 1,500 tens, two heavily armed gunboats of 1,500 tens each, ene light gunboat of 730 tens, ene steel ram, one cruising torpedo -beat, two harbor torpedo beatH and ene armed vessel net ex ceeding 7,000 tens. The department, in adopting the recommendation, calls spec al attention te the necessity for torpedo torpedo beats. In general, the secretary rccora rccera rccora mends the construction of soveu modern cruisers annually for a period of ten years. Such a plan, he siys, while conforming te the conservative demand et our national poliey aud affording ample time for adopt ing every new device in construction, would give the country at modcrate cost a navy ndequate te train its ofiiejrs and maintain its safety and honor. In regard te the existing navy Secretnry Chandler says : It appears irem the condition of the tteet that, at the end of flfteeu years, the only cruising vessels or the present list remain ing will be three small iron vcsels the Mouecaoy, Alert and Hanger. The limi tation of repairs te wooden vessels should ontiuue 20 pjr cent, of their costs, as the department has for years earnestly advo cated. The explanation of the dispropor tion between the expenditure and the re cults accomplished in naval administration is te be found iu the policy of attempting at great costs te rehabilitate worn out structures under the name of repairs. Re pair and reconstruction in the absence of a fixed limit are terms easily interchangeable and the published statements of expeudi ture under the first named during many jears show that it is only apt te mean the second. The praetice of reconstruct ing vessels under the name of repairs is the only pret3xt upon which ourevererown ncvy yard establishments enuld be justified, and it appears tha, instead of maintaining our yards for the advantage and benefit et our ship. the ships have dragged out a protracted cxistence for the benefit of the yards. Concerning navy yards, Secretary Chan dler held that only two naval work shops slietuu ue maintained en the Atlantic coast, and ene en the Pacific. The New Londen yard should be restored te Con necticut, aud the League Island yard te rniladelph a. The Bes'in yard should be sold or reduced in siza. The Pensacela and PorMmeuth yards may ba kept for naval stations The workshops would then he in New Yerk, Norfolk aud Mare Island. These need certain improvements in organization : First. All politics should be excluded from their management, iu accordance with seotienl,jl6of the revised statutes, which says : "Ner shall an work werk ingman be discharged or removed for political opinion." Secondly, R sponslbil spenslbil ity for the work must be mero definitely fixed. The secretary reports the removal from Siberia of the bodies of Lieutenant Com mander De Leng, of the Jeannette, and his companions, and gives a history of the Ureily relief expedition, the expenditures ler which were 702,006. In conclusion, Sacretary Chandler dwells upon the oleso connection bstween the improvement of the navy and tt e devep ment of the merchant marine, and shows that te make tne latter ODtnmensurate with our trade, our coast line, and the number and wealth of our commercial cities, we must have gre it lines of ocean steamships, of high speed and large capacity, carrying our lUgtothe most distant lands and saving te our people the vast profits of the carry carry leg trade. The only way te wip'u this result, he says, is through direct en ceurj)?ement giren by the government, either in the form of bounties upon con struction or upon payment for carrying the mails se that American capitalists will be induced te embark in the business.

A reduction ia the price of anthracite cuai, varying from 25 te -10 cents a ten, is anticipated by the coal companies within two months. The officers of these corper a'ioes say that this great saving te con sumers, amounting in the aggregate te eight and-a-half million dollars a year, is te be brought about by an abandonment of the present, system of suspensions of min ing ene week in every four and by a return te the quota plan, whieh mean-i that the oeal companies will apportion among themselves the percentage of the market demand each can supply. All the companies, with one exception, agree tint this is the preferable methel. The difficulties stand in the way of an immediate adoption of the quota plan : The first is a mat ter of detail aud relates te the adjustment of the percentages among the coal pro ducers. The second nnd mero important obstacle comes from the Heading railroad receivers, we say they de net intend te enter into any combination, but proposes te mine coal en business priniiploi,clesing these collieries which are expensive te work and increasing the output of theso open ings which are eheaply mined. The Read ing receivers say they oannet enter a com binatien bseauae they believe such action is illegal. The officers of the ethor coal companies scoff at the returning virture of the Head ing management, and say its refusal te enter the oembination is part of a bluff game in which it expects te obtain in increased percentage in the appointment. One result of a return te the quota plan will be the disoharge of 18,333 men who are new employed about the mines, form ing ene filth of the entire number of men and boys (01,017) working in the anthra cite coal beds. The projectors of the quota plan say that under the present system of suspensions four men are forced te remain idle one week, and then de iu three weeks that three men could de in four weeks, that is, in full working time. They de net propose te iucrease the pay of the men who are working threo quarter time, but expect them te work lull time for the Bum they new get. A Kink for Oolerea 1'euple.
