LANCASTER, MARCH 11, 1885.
Wolves In Shcep'g Clothing.
The Philadelphia Jlccerd says that
the chairman of the Senate committee,
which Is inquiring Inte the matter of freight
discrimination, has received n letter from
Unwind, White Ce., dated from their
Philadelphia office, "earnestly requesting
that no bill be reported en the subject
without first giving us netice of the same,
se that we may have an opportunity,
should it bear unjustly en our section, te
bring tlie matter te the attention of your
self and committee."
That sounds quite well. Berwlnd, AVhlte
& Ce., large shippers of coal, propose te
keep a sharp leek out upon the interests of
the coal operators in their section, which is
the Clearfield coal field, te the end that no
unjust discrimination in rates may be
established. Benvind, AVhlte & Ce. are
only concerned that the proposed bill docs
net " bear unjustly en our section." They
want te see it before it is reported. They
want te help thecommlttee te get it straight.
Unfortunately for this view of the phil
anthropic zeal of Benvind, White & Ce. in
the cause of justice for "our section," it is
well known that this company has pros
pered and gained its prominence because of
the unjust discrimination in its favor of the
Pennsylvania railroad. They have grown
ricli through ficight rates given te them
lower than te any ether of the opemteis in
"oursectien." This is entirely undeninble;
and it has even been testified by ene of their
former partners that Mr. Benvind g.ive te
VicgPiesident Cassatt -a share of the
Ttrefits front tins discrimination, and se
emed it by thus paying for it. Mr. Cas
satt has never seen fit te bring an
action against the author of this charge,
nor against any of the newspapers that
have printed it ; and no ene doubts there
fore that it is substantially true that Ber
wind, White & Ce. purchased fiem
Pennsylvania railroad officials the injustice
te " our section " which made tliein fat.
It is therefore most refreshingly cool in
them te write te the legislative committee,
which is fully advised of their corrupt
practices and of the nature of theircaie for
the interests of the coal ojieniters of Clear
field county, asking hat they be consulted
as the trustees of " our section " upon the
previsions of a bill designed te defeat the
discrimination by which they have nour
ished. If they had told the truth they
would have had geed reason te ask te be
advised of the previsions of a bill which
will have as ene of its main objects their
abatement as a common nuisance. Uien
that question they are entitled te n hearing
if they demand it. If tliey have anything
te urge te show that they are any mere
honest than they are believed te be, and if
they have any statement te present te con
tradict the cvidence of their former part
ner, Mr. Faulkner, us te their corrupt re
lations with Pennsylvania railroad
eflicers, the committee should give them
ample opportunity te be heard. But in their
present guise as agents for the ether Clear
jjeld operators, whom they have systemat
ically defrauded, they canclaimne hearing,
nor de they really want one. They would
beafraid te open their months before a
committee. What they want is delay.
They heie te kill the proposed bill by post
ponements. Seme New Ideas.
The new presideuthas hit upon the
happy andpjJghral idea of finding eiit
wheUuyrcdrtam offices around Washington
,arfnecessar' te the public service or net
before he proceeds te fill them, lie in
augurates liis policy by dispensing with
four of the attaches of his own household,
where he would very naturally first dis
cover if there was a surplus ; and he seems
disiiesed te show that he will net exact of
ethers a policy that he will net rigidly en en en
ferce himself. In this lie differs from some
smaller men who have set themselves upas
reformers, but who exacting the most
scrupulous bcrvice from etheis keep a
tight grip en all the perquisites and pat
ronage attaching te thelr own places.
If tlie new heads of tlie several depart
ments will go through them with axe nnd
rake, chopping down and dragging out tlie
dead weed, the rotten branches and tlie
choking underbusli, we suspect that a pro pre pro
pertionately far greater reduction in tlie
civil service can be made than tlie presi
dent already makes iu tlie White Heuse.
Asa rule the clerks around Washington
and tlie subordinate empleyes de half work
and getdouble wages. The departments
abound with 'sinecures and loafers. Tlie
enormous Increase in tlie ferce ever since
tlie war closed proves it; and no man can
go through the offices with open eyes and
fall te see it.
Twe utterly erroneous ideas seem te have
get held of the Large majority of the peo
ple who are pressing forward for effice.
One of tliese Is that public positions exist
only for the reward of party workers. Such
a conceit is as demoralizing te party
organization us it is prejudicial te a healthy
public sentiment. It has been se assiduously
festered by the Bepublican party nnd se
persistently practiced that n great many
Democrats take it as a matter of course,
nud are surprised that the administration
should net first till the offices ami then in
quire into the necessity for them. We trust
te sea it take the ether course and
lop oil every Miperllueus place. As a mere
matter of party policy it will gain ten votes
from light-thinking people by such con
duct, where It loses one of the disap
pointed place hunters.
Auethsr radically wrong view that pie
val's is the notion that a man establishes
hla claim te a public position and
proves his fitness for it by bringing
himself out as a candidate and dra
gooning people into signing petitions, writ
ing letters nnd fenvarding recommenda
tions In his behalf ; nud that nobody is
te be considered eligible for public sta
tion who has tee much self-respect te en
gage In tills sort of business. The earlier
this false idea Is dispelled the better. If
the administration wiii leek ever the heads
rjf the importdnate placemen nndge behind
the long petitions and basketsfull of letters
which they bring, it will seen discover that
many of their recommendations uie ob
tained by offensive- solicitation and aic
given te get rid of their Importunity, and
that back of them are hosts of modest men,
better qualified and mere deserving, wiie
wait te be called upon befere they present
themselves. The politician who isalvas
but of u job nud waiting for something te
turn up is net by any means the best
adapted for the dischaige of public duties.
We leek for daily su i pilses from Wash
ington ; we expect they will be of a grate
ful nnd wholesome quality.
Solicitor General l'llII.LIP.S, who
lias tendered the resignation of his elllcc,
upon the appointment of his successor, lias
been ene of the most elllcient elllcers of
the government, and could well expect te
be retained if itelitical considerations are
put out of the way. Mr. Phillips
seems te have had the wbele bin then of the
law department uien his shoulders since
the advent of the highly ornamental and
useless Brewster, whom the supreme
court has haidly known. Mr. Phillips lias
filled his olllceso well as te make it dillicult
te replace him.

An appeal from the decree or the ceuit of
common pleas of Crawford county, recently
decided in the supreme court, will have much
interest ter atterneys, as it decides that tliey
may liave a lien for counsel fees upon a fund
which has been paid into court for distribu
tion. The point cauie up for decision en the
appeals or MuKllvey and Sterrit, iu which
the decision of tlie lower court-was affirmed.
Tlie court said that te counsel's oxertions -was
due the fact that theic was any fund what
ever. "Te the extent of the value of theso
services the fund belongs te him; that is te
say, he is the cquitable owner te the amount
of his feo." Thcre Is no doubt that the
suprome court was tuning en tlie right key
when it gave this decision.

Harvard SluilenU Stunt Attend l'rujcrn.
A fevv weeks age ever nlne hundred of the
undergraduates at Harvard petitioned the

morning prayers be made voluntary for
undorgmduates 21 years old or ever and
optional, according te tlie wishes of their
pirents or guurdtans,rer uudorgradiialcswhe

el thn college authorities te grant this request
has been announced. Tlie college paper, The
Daily Crimson, commenting en the retusal,
says tlie authorities by whom Harvard is
governed are net troubled by that vlce of
small minds consistency. Wlille making
the most sweeping changes in their frantic

A Six Per Cent. Lehigh Vulley Illlideuil.
Tlie directors of tlie Lehigh Vulleyjrailread
company at 11 meeting held en Monday de
clared a quarterly dividend of lj$ per cent.
Tliis is 11 reduction of the yearly dividend
rrem per cent, te- fl per cent. An officer of
tlie company In discussing this action of tlie
beard stated that it was strictly iu accordance
with the conservative jkiIIcv that it had
always pursued, te keep the lUvldend within
the earnings of the prejieitv. He admitted
that the earnings ler the past year hud really
been mere than 0 per cent., but it was deemed
prudent te make that the amount of the
dlvldend.

Tlie president sees (hat under the system of
short days ami complicated ways ostabiisiied
by former administrations twice as many
offices liave been created at the Wlille IIouse
as nre ically necessary, his pregramme con
templates less red tape and mere hard work.
He thinks that with a simple system of
i coerds and longer official days half the pres

transact nil tlie oxccullve business. In mak
lug the removals the best men will of com se,
be retained. A similar lKillcy involving at

Incrcase of work expected and tlie reduction
of the overgrown clerical ferce will doubt

It is net likely that any sermon upon the
injurious Inlluence of effice hunting will de
much towards the abatement of what is un
questionably 11 serious evil. We say it is un
likely because, wlille the results in a large
majority of ctsee are disappointing nud dam
aging, the desire for government employ
ment is quite natural. It is thought iu the
lirst place that thery is .1 incisure of dignity
attached te employment by the United States,
and there is really something in that idea,
though it does net amount te much. Then it
is the fact that government employment is
veiy steady every working day of every
week throughout tlie year; thcre Is no
less of time from w.aitiug between
the close of ene Jeb and the begin
ning or another, or 011 account of the
weather or ether interruption tlie time Is
put in right straight along. Tills is a great
advantage. Then the pay is as sure as the
work is steady ; the government Is ene of the
surest of paymasters, which is another Im
portant consideration. There is a fourth ad
vantage iu the fact that te a great many men
the pay ler tlie kind of service they can ren
der is much larger under the government
than tliey could get for tlie saine in any pri
vaeo employment. This Is the fact with the
large number w hese abilities are at the level
of mediocrity or below it. Such indillerent
workmen can get better pay iu nlUcial service
than out of it, while these whose t.ileuts or
acquirements are abeve tlie mediocre line
can de better out of effice than iu it. Private
employers have use for them and pay thorn
better than Iho public, except In rare in
stances. This last statement exhibits the
reason why public offices as a rule are but
rarely se well served as private employments
of the saine grade ; and the four advantages
we liave mentioned show why it Is a natural
tiling fpr se many persons te be seeking effice
whenever the chauce of a ehange comes
about, and they show also w by thcre is noth
ing that Is necessarily discreditable In it,
although we certainly regard It as Injurious
and lamentable.
What we haveset forth shows the fairest
side of the case. All the rest is bad. 'irit
is tlie great less of time in hunting for
places. It is wearisome waiting te jiearly
all, and it is sere disappointment te nine
teen out of every twenty. Tlie blanks liear
the same proportion te the prizes as In any
ether lottery, and seme et the prires even
turn out te be blanks in the long run. Tlie
man who gets a place Is always subjected
te exactions upon liis pocket ler contribu
tions te tliis ami subscriptions for that, and
runs into wpendthrlit habits as naturally
as the sjurks ily upward, and sometimes
Inte dissolute habits. The progress to
wards demoralizatiens of tiiat kind Is
very easy, and the drain upon the pocket
leaves it 'cmptler very often than
if a private employer was paymaster instead
of Unde Sam. Then there is this mero gen
eral pliase of the demoralization that a large
proportion of the 111011 who liave held public
olllce or employment nover want te de any
thing else anil if they get out of 0110 public
place never cease te hunt ler another, though
months run into years, and years into llfo llfe
tiiucs, iu tlie vain scarh families becoming
impoverished, broken up and scattered iu
tlie precess. The Industrious, intelligent
man who works along steadily iu (he regular
line of his occupation will be belter oil' ut the
end efnny llvoe'rtenyoais, than the average
oriieldors of subordiuate offices, just as the
man who works methodically 011 his farm
will be better oil' than nineteen out of twenty
who dig spasmodically In geld mines.

F01 jeui-s pit I have used Alueck'h 1'oi.ecs
1'lahteiw en my person und in my luinlly, and
have found them erfict as an extc-nnd remedy,
quick III their action, giving luiiucdhitu icllef
without blistering thu skin, and lar superior In
all ethers. Ne family should be without All
ceck'b 1'ohech Plasters ; their healing peucra
are wonderful, und their ellkucy tjr-rcuchlng
andlustlug. When iu Washington last" Inlet I
was induced te try ttnether much advertised
plaster for socie pain In my back. Ne rellel
from the puln, but u soie and blistered back for
uweckwasthu result. Se seen as tlie blisters
hculcd I applied two of Allieck's l'onecs Plah
teks, uud they guv e mu Immediate und emui
ueiil relief. They give additional strength and
vitality te the spinal column, and they are 11
neverlulliug remidy in my luinlly for CeuglH,
Colds, bpralus, and all Pubis und Wciikncsncs.
'i heir use has repiutcdly saved me lrem Pneu

be without them for any consideration.

HOUSEHOLD GOODS.
The season is new at hand for refurnishing and restocking the
Household with articles of use and necessity as well as ornament.
When buying solid, sterling Silver there is satisfaction in the
thought of its being able te be used for generations ; net only used
new, but by your people that fellow after you.
Our stock of plated Goods is very complete and we keep only
the very best makes, in all the auTerent grades. Knives, Ferks,
Spoons, &c, are cheaper new than they have ever been. New is just
the time te buy, before the Spring trade makes prices go up again.
But you cannot tell en paper what can se much better de under
stood by calling and seeing for yourself, and consequently being con
vinced. H. Z. RHOADS,
