LANCASTER, JULY 10. 1SS0.
Maudlin Meddlesemeness.
The Republican newspapers notably
tue Philadelphia Prww, which prints mero
ridiculous twaddle en the subject than any
ether are indulging in some very wild
and amusing speculations in regard te the
approaching Democratic state nominations.
They have plenty of latitude for guessing
and lying, from the circumstance that, un
like Mr. Quay's ticket, the names of Dem.
ecratlc nominees can never be ascertained
in advance by application te some disrepu
table boss, or at the back deer of any ring
headquarters. The ticket te be nominated
en the 18th of August will be the product
of the thoughtful consideration of the
masses of the party, and it will combine
with moral worthiness and mental ability
that availability which arises from sponta
neous selection, and which can, therefore,
never attach te a boss ticket of any kind.
However, these speculations of Republican
newspapers silly and Blckly as most of
them are must be very interesting read
ing te their constituents, since it has be
come nearly certain, in view of the action
of the late Republican convention, that the
Democratic nominees will be elected.
Our friends en the ether side and es
pecially the Press, which has hired a new
man te de this great act imagine they are
doing a wonderfully smart thing in
representing the rank and file of the
Democratic party as awaiting for bar
gains between Messrs. Randall, Scott
and "Wallace. They knew very well that
any appearance of bargain and sale be
tween these distinguished and honored
leaders, would have no result save the very,
serious diminution of the influence of all efj
them. Thcre are no bosses in the Denu
ecratlc party. Its nominations are nevnr
bartered back and forth between two men,
or four men, or flfty men. There may be a
fewdlsreputableand unconsidered strikers
who, pretending te be either " Wallace
men,'' or " Randall men," rather than
Democrats, have caught up such stuff from
their Republican mentors, and cackle it
about te the dishonor of the chiefs they
claim te serve. Rut neither Mr. Randall
nor Mr. Wallace, nor any ether respecta
ble Democrat, ever gave it a moment's coun
tenance. The imputation that Mr. Wallace, al
though personally eager and anxious for
the honor, is cravenly waiting Mr. Ran
dall's permission for him te become a can
didate for governor, isone which could
find no place In any reputable Democratic
journal in Pennsylvania. Se, likewise,
with the later story that Mr. Scott
becomes a candidate te head off
Mr. Wallace. Such is, however, the
main burden of the unvarying, doleful
song of our esteemed contemporary, the
Press, which appears te have geno maud
lin since the unfortunate Quay convention.
It is the peer device of a sadly puzzled en
emy te present the appearance of attempted
besshlp, and consequent dlssensens in the
unbessed, united and confident Democratic
party. Should Mr. Wallace choeso te be
a candidate for governor, he will net stand
in the humiliating attitude of waiting for
Mr. Randall te confer the nomination upon
him, as a personal gift ; he will enter the
lists like any ether candidate, and be nom
inated or defeated by the enlightened pub
lic sentiment of the masses of the Democ
racy voiced in their convention. Whether
he will de this or net no one appears te
knew. If there is any reliable information
extant, it has net ceme te hand. One thing
Is sure. The scheme of our esteemed maud
lin contemporary, te make Mr. Wallace
appear like a candidate waiting upon the
grace of another person, however distin
guished, in order te belittle Mr. Wallace
and embitter his friends, will net work.
-The imputation upon Mr. Scott's motives
and plans is equally absurd; and it all
gees te show that the maudlin organs feel
the situation in their own party te be very
distressing when they Dnd that of the op
position se entertaining.
Keep It Up.
AVe

A Nen-rartlsan Council.
Moved by certain conteraperarycvenlsof
Interest, the iSoe Em thinks it Is tlme te
call a halt that the LSTr.i,i.mi:.vu:u has
long favored. It says :
The thoughtful reader of bui-liipvi preclh '
ties, who bMcnrelully read the proceedings
of our city councils, will be Impressed with

All things considered, we think it about
tlme te erganl70 n citizens' committee of tax
payers auit business men te leek after the se
lection of members of council in future, and
see ir It Is net possible te place our local
legislation en a higher plane, belnre our city
gets Inte the condition New Yerk has round
herself through the action of her aldermen.
We have long been of this opinion. We
are net satisfied that a change of control in
councils from ene lwrty te another would
permanently or materially better the situa
tion. Under the present unfair appor
tionment of ceuticllmcn te the wards, it Is
impossible for the Democrats te gel even a
fair representation In councils. Hut this Is
the least of many reasons why tlierosheuld
be an entirely different sstem from the
present party dictation of ceuucilmanlc
selections. Pew lit men will new con
sent te run for councils, because they are
discouraged in their efforts te secure a
btisiness-llke administration of municipal
affairs.
Let U3 have the citizens' movement and
a neu-p.-utis.in council ; and let it be put
upon the high ground that municipal
management is a business affair and net a
partisan concern.

The civil service commission h is issued
a proclamation condemning the conduct of
the late postmaster of Baltimore be
cause, when he was presented with four
names of persons eligible te appointment
under civil service regulation, he se eer-
cised his discretion of selection as te pre
fer an ascertained Democrat among them
te an ascertained Republican ; and lie
cause he kept this up uutil quite a number
of the non-civil service Uepnblicans whom
he found in ellice were replaced by civil
service Democrats whom he put there.
It seems,according te the construction of
rules by the civil service commission, that
te have reference te the politics of theeli
glbles In making selections, is a violation
of the rules. The head of a department Is
guided by no ether restriction ; he may
cheese te appoint one above another, be
cause he has blue hair or black hair, but te
inquire and knew and regard the politics
of the eligibles Is an offense.
We think this feature of the ciil berice

Every summer evening, lu fair weather,

ITS ANCIENT OllKlIN.
Frent deer recreation is indeed a venerable
custom, of origin as ancient as any that we
have, for savages rest by the doers of their
huts in the twilight and the pastoral races de
the same. Abraham tested in the deer of
his tent In the heat of the day, and doubtless
he rested there In the evenings long alter the

little son, laughter, playing about his

Hut when men begiu te build towns,
they appear te have made a practice of keep
ing themselves and tlielr lamilles secluded
In their home-", and it is only in compara
tively modern days that the homes et the
people have faced en the street. The Pueblos
of the Zunl Indians In America, are remark
able as a development of the step Idea. A
whele village built together in a hollow
square, the huts rising one above the ether
iu receding tlurs llke a vast series of steps,
and every citizen, from his doorway, ou the
reef of ene neighbor mid beneath the trout
step or another, could leek right at the deer
of every ether man iu town or towards the
open side of the pueblo out ever the open
country.
'lne Israelites and all Hastern poeplo built

first court turned se that passers-by could

was a room entirely open en the court side
where the master of the heuse received his

They probably did net care much for the

was the great place or resort. In all warm
climates where the reefs of the houses are

the reef te the women. Ileu-cs or the poeror
classes had no court, but a yard was attached,
aud there were houses with reefed perches
in front where people went te drink and
smeke in the evening.

In anclent (ireece the houses of the poeplo
wero built en much the same plan, but the
open hall facing the court was used for family
gatherings and meals, and, as the hearth was

In the old colonial dajs front steps were
quite as popular as they are te-day.
The daughter of au elllcer el the Hritlsh
army writing In 1767 from Albany, tells of
the shaded streets of that town and or the
open porticos at the doers which were sur-
rounded by seats and a vended by a few steps.
It was In these that each domestic group
was seated in summer evenings te enjey the
balmy twilight or the sereuely clear moon
light. Nothingcetild be mero pleasing te a beneve

or very peer, very knowingervery Iguerant,
very rude or very polished individuals te
seeall these children of nature enjoying iu
easy indolence or social Intercourse, " the
cool, the fragrant and dusky hour."
They were dispersed In perches grouped ac
cording te similarity et years and Inclina
tions. At ene deer wero young matrons ;
at auether the elders nt the people , at a third
thuveuths and maidens, gaily chatting or
singing together, while children played
around the trees, or waited by the lainlly
cows for the chler ingredient el the frugal
supcr which they ate sitting ou the steps In

This was a Hutch viilage community, and
It Is probable that our own tow u presented a
similar appearance iu the summer evenings
of a hundred and thlrtv vears age. Hut iu
Watsen s Annals we are told that It was the
custom for the geed peeple of Philadelphia te
dress neatly ten ards the close of the day and
sit in the street perch ; aud it was custemarv
also te go from perch te ierch and cou ceu
eise. "Yeung gentlemen In passing," said an
old lady te Mr. Watseu, "used te allect te
shv, that, while they admired the charms of
the fair, they found it a severe ordeal. This,
however, was mere bauter as these days
were really very agrocable and sociable.
Our girls used te attend te the work of the-
family In the daytime, and iu the evening
piraded in their perch at the deer, home el
them, however, even then read novels, aud
walked without business abroad." Imagine
the tone or the prim old Quaker lady, as she
sat upright in a straight-backed chair and
ended her cheery memories of early days
