Democratic County Committee Meeting.
A meeting of the Democratic County
Committee will be held at the Bosh House,
Bollofonto, on TUESDAY, Aran. t '2
o'clock, P. M., at which it is earnestly
hoped every member of the committee
will be present. The apportionment of
delegate* to the different districts for the
ensuing two years will be made, and other
matters of importance to the party will bo
considered. P. GRAY MEEK,
Chairman.
THE spinster in politics. Miss
Buckley, of Armstrong county, offers
herself as a candidate for Register and
Recorder, and desires the nomination
of the Republican party.
WHEN fighting is in order in the!
United .States Senate, Don. Cameron
is the man for the Republieau-Repu
diationists. They must, however, let
his coat tail have full play, if they
waut to obtain astounding results.
Gov. FOOTER, of Ohio, expresses a
willingness to accept a rc-noiuination,
but that he will not seek it. It is be
lieved he will be unanimously nomin
ated, and that the Hon. W. 8. Grocs
beck will be put up by the Democrats
in opposition.
JAY GOULD has purchased the in
terest of Col. Thomas A. Scott in the
Texas Pacific Railroad Company, for j
which he drew his check on the Fourth
National bank, of New York, for the
neat little sutn of two million four
hundred thousand dollars. Mr. Gould
- i- the President-elect of the company.
SENATOR COXKI.INO, failing to scare
Judge Robertson to decline the nomi
nation of Collector of New York, or
the President to withdraw the nomina
tion, is becoming vrry affable to Dem
ocratic Senator*. He is soliciting re- j
emits for the war upon the Presiden
tial appointment, which we trust will '
not he found in the Democratic rank*.
Tho appointment being a proper one
will no doubt receive Democratic:
sanction whether it pleases or dis- I
please* the imperious host.
Bon CAMERON did not wait for a
tilt with Hill to make an HS* of him- I
self. He did that in his speech to !
justify- the contract with Mahonc. But
iu his pugilistic demonstration, last
week, against the Senator from Geor
gia, who was in debate with Mahonc,
to demand the meaning of word* not
addressed to him, the Boss wrote the
word a a * all over him. He was prob
ably fortunate in the strength of his
coat tail, that it did not give way in
the haods of his Republican friends, or ,
he might have received a forcible lec
ture on the indecency and impropriety
of his conduct. Wo have heard it
intimated as an excuse that Don had
been testing the strength of "Jersey
lightning."
THE Repuhlican dicker with the
Mahone Repudiation party is not like
ly to pan out the great thing our
Don anticipated, when he electrified
the Senate with his great speech on
the subject of the bargain. It appears
the honest Republicans, of Virginia,
are not satisfied that the New York
. and Pennsylvania bosses should pos
sess the power to transfer them to the
little nondescript, now credited to
Virginia as a Senator. A large dele
gation of the leading Republicans
from that State called upon the Presi
dent on Saturday, to protest against
the transfer and to insist that the Ke
} publicans and not the Kepudiationists
shall be recogoited by the administra
tion. That any other course will dis
iutrcgate the Republican jntrty and
doom it to hopelessness in the future.
The delegation indicated very plain
ly to tho President th&t hi* recognition
of the corrupt bargain could not re
ceive their approval and would not be
, carried out, so far as the Republican
party of Virginia is concerned.
"KIJIAL AND EXACT JUBTICK TO ALL MEN, OK WHATEVER NT AT K OH I'KKSU ASION, KKLIOIOUH OB 1-oI.IT KA L.JollriH.n
A Serious Republicau Confossiou.
The Cincinnati Commercial, the per
sonal organ of the head of the lute
fraudulent Administration, and the
Ohio representative of the present Pre*-
ident, took occasion lust week to ex
ult its voice in favor of immediate
strife in the Republican party. It
suid:
If Senator Conkling wages war ujion
the (iarlifhl Administration in the spir
it in which it has been opened by the j
journals that made a specialty of the i
third term, it is the duty of the Presi- j
dent to use his whole power to teach
the Senator the virtue of discretion. If
he wants peace on tenns becoming ma !
son a tile beings with responsibilities he
can have it without trouble, but it be is j
resolved upon war the Administration
owes it to the country and the Hepuhli
can party and its own sett respect to dc- 1
fend and sustain itselt by instant, inces- i
satit, and relentless aggression, and the
full employment of the war club and
the scalping kmte.
This bus had the effect of startling
the New York Than into a genuine
political confession. The Time* i* an
i opponent of Conkling ; but an organ
of Grant and the third term. It has
always claimed to he respectable, hut
it never fails to he partisan in the i
presence of an emergency. During a
campaign it condoucs its party's sins
with zeal. When the jiolitical world
is at peace it sometimes exposes them.
Its present remarkable avowal is as
follows :
The enormous increase in the extent, j
cost, and |K)wor of the civil st-rvice, j
which was made necessary by the war,
came at a time when the country was >
deeply moved in regard to questions of j
i life and death. In filling the office*
j then created it was inevitable that li
' publicans should be chosen almost ex
clusively. That w:i* in accordance with
cdatom, and at the time the opponents
ot tho Republican party were regarded
as directly or indirectly in sympathy j
with the rebellion. It would have been ,
practically impossible to adopt the
policy of a non partisan civil service.
So there commenced that system of
Senatorial influence, amounting often
to dictation, of which men of the type
i of Mr. Conkling became the natural
' ex|onent*. as they were, also, its natur
-lal truit. The j>erinl when intense par
j tisanship was logically the saute as .
, patriotism passed away, l.jt the partisan
| system of appointments reimined be- ■
! CHUse it served the interest of a vast I
| aruty of politicians, from the Senators
j down to the primary managers. It was
1 a had system, unconstitutional, unre-
I publican, unbusiness like, unjust and
unprofitable for the country and the
: party tn power as well. It nearly rit'ii
j ed the Republican party aud it cost the
I country not only millions of dollars,
, but many delay* in the righting of the
j currency, many errors in the reorganiz
ation of the .South, many blunder* tn
I our liscal laws; fur year after year the
I real issues in polities were put aside or
| trifled with to ssve the patronage to j
i the men who enjoyed it. The Govern-
I menl was brnumbcrl, the party was
| rendered cowardly by the wretched
j system which placed the political mi
! ehinery in the hands of men who ran
it mainly for the spoils. Unquestiona
bly, Mr. Conkling is a product of that
sy#tem.
The Washington I'oil remarks with
great force thnt " this is a most im
portant contribution to the political
j history of the country, in matter and
in fact. It places the responsibility
for the invention of this disgraceful
system of " machine politic* " upon
the shoulder* of the Repuhlican party, i
where it belongs. Such credit as it
deserves for it* frankness, the-Times
will receive."
THE home organ of Mahonc in Rich
mond claim* that the Virginia Hcna
tor "is a Democrat; that he was a
Democrat when he was elected to the
Senate." If this be no, his brief re
cord convicts fiitn of reprehensible me
thods —as one of that class who get
into the rank* to betray, and thereby
to enlarge his exchequer or import
ance. Rut what he was before the re
cord was made up, i* of little conse
quence now. Rencdiet Arnold was a
patriot, gallant in defence of his coun
try. He was tempted by British gold
and fell. The parallel is apparent,
and not flattering to the Virginia .Sen
ator.
THE nttcntion of the member* of
the Democratic County Committee is

for • meeting of the Committee on

interests of the party demand that it
slrnll be carefully considered. We
trust there will be no absentees.
Tho Monetary Conference.
It was expected that the interna- ,
tiouul monetary conference of which j
•Secretary EvarU and ex-Senators j
Thtirman and Howe arc members by
appointment of the President, would
begin its sessions in Paris on last Tues
day. The conference p<>-.-*.ses no
power further than to give the views j
and the conclusions of the delegates 1
which arc to compose it, although in
some quarters a contrary belief seems
to have l>ecu entertained. The Amer
ican delegates hud particular instruc
tions to avoid undertaking to commit
our government to any particular line
of policy, as it could not Ikj foretold
what action Congress would determine
upon. The great point which it seems
is to be brought before the conference
is to discover the true explanation of j
the depreciation of silver,and in what |
way its value can be appreciated.
Among the propositions which it is
understood will be urged before the '
conference is that the price of fiue ■
silver be advanced to sixty and seven- j
eighth pence per ounce by the corn
bined action of the United States and
tho great governments of Europe.
Hut even if such a plan could pro
duce the desired effect, which is ex
tremely doubtful, it may be considered
as impracticable. The commercial
nations are all anxious that silver
should command a higher market rate,
but each prefers to derange its cur
rency as little as*possible and let the
others experiment with silver. France
nominally has the bimetallic standard,
hut not iu reality. So with the United
States. The silver enthusiasts in Con
gress succeeded iu passing laws to fix
the bimetallic system on the United
Btab-s, but the effort was abortive, as
•Secretary Sherman's construction of
the laws enabled him to retain the
gold standard, and no creditor of the
government has been paid otherwise
than in gold, unless by positive request
Silver as an unlimited legal tender has
not found favor in this country, nor to
any great extent elsewhere. Nothing
practical in the way of securing a
fixed and legal ratio between gold and
silver came of the international mooc
tarv conference of 1878, and it would
be surprising if the experience of
this conference proves different. The
friends of a single standard remain
firm in the conviction that gold is the
true one, and will not therefore be
likely to recommend anything practi
cable in the way of giving the world
a bimetallic standard.
Tilt: spectacle! The representa
tives of a great party iu the United
| States Senate, present the anomalous
: spectacle of refusing to transact the
business for which they were convened.
And why ? Simply, because the Dem
ocrats, who still entertain respect for
the dignity and glory of the jwo-t as
well as for the proprieties of the pres
ent, cannot become partial to the rati
fication of a corrupt and disgraceful
bargain. This, in tho Senate of the
United States, once supposed to be a
high and dignified body! Shades
of Clay and Webster, Calhoun and
: Benton, to what degradation has this
foruin, in which ihc eminent men of
America once electrified the world
with the wisdom and the glory of their
statesmanship, descended. It is now
convoi ted into a barter shop where
Conkling and Arthur, Cameron and
Mahono trade their wares and bargain
for the mean advantages of power to
which they have neither claim or fit
ness. In tho light of tho past, this U
indeed a melancholy picture. But it
is not overdrawn, and no true Demo
crat can lend I hem any aid or sympa
thy to break the dead-lock. Democrats
can only stand firm aud by their acts
protect tho great party they so faith
fully represent from any apparent re
sponsibility with the acts of these hux
ters and the disgrace that will follow the
ratification of tneir nefarious bargains.
In speukiug of the Ilayea veto of I
the funding bill, the Harrinburg /la*'
triot hit* the nail squarely on the head
when it ways that "it wus to enable the
(inrfielil administration to arrange the
| loan with the national Hanks on their
j own terms during the recess of Con
j gretu." Under the |dun of Becretury
Windom they can refund their bonds
ut the rate of."} per cent, for interest,
while Congress proposed that all bonds |
maturing during the present year
j -himld be refunded at •'! per cent.
Looan, of Illinois, made a speech in
the United States Senate the other day
upon a congenial subject. It was all

I Benjamin l>israeli, the distinguished 1
Kogluh statesman and author, was born 1
at London in Decembr-r, 1*(>, and wo* '

Voting Duke." and two years later
"Contarim Fleming'' was published.
The life of Disraeli reads like a romance.
A successful author at 'JO >car*, he early
looked forward to foiuicai distinction

; which attained b great circulation, and
, only last year "Eodymion" was given to
the world by its distinguished author.
It was probably bis most profitable
novel. Disraeli's name is associated

i modern history ol England, and it is
doubtful if the romance of his career
will ever be eclipsed by that of nny

For. the fourth time the Wyoming

John Wells llallenbeck on the north
and to the Valley House on the south.
Already quite a number of tourists are

north wing of the hotel was on fire and
the main hallway and stair egress was a

The Iron Trade of the United State*.
The On*u office ha* published a
preliminary report of the iron and steel
industries of the United States. The
whole number of establishment* in 1880
was 1.005. In 1870 it wa* 808. The
j percentage of release in ten years was
I 24.38. The size and capacity of the
! establishments were, however, much
greater in I*Bo than in 1870. A* the
| capacity of blast furnaces only was gitr
-1 en in l k 7o, no complete data are nviiiln
\ tile for a comparison of the capacity of
a'd the works in the two periods. The
(truly capacity'.f the bla*t furnaces in
| 1870 wa* 8,337 ton*, and in 1 Kjmi wa.*
19,2(8 tons —an increase of 130.33 per
| cent. The whole amount of capital
' invested in tb- iron and teel industries
of the United Slate* in JS<t wa* $230.-
971.884; in 1870 it wa* $121,772,074;
inctean.slo9,l99,Slo,or B'J.6 V per cent.
The tibial production q' the iron, and
J tee) wot k* of the 1 lilted Slate* ID toe
, c<-n*u* year 1880 was 7,235,140 tons; in
| 1 **7• I it wa* 3,055,215 tons; increase,
3.009,925 ton*, or 98.76 per cent.
In 1870 there were twenty five States
engaged in the manufacture* of iron
anil tteel. tif these S >utb Caroling
i doe* not appear in the * tat is! ics of 1S V O.
| It* total production in JSSO did not
, aggregate 500 ton*. The iron industry
in this Mate ha* been practically aban
doned. Since 1870 three States have,
j for the first time, engaged in the man-
I ufacture of iron, namely, Colorado,
Kansas and Nebraska; alo two Tcrri
torie*, namely, Utah and Wyoming.
Utah did not. however, make any iron
in 18*0. It made a small quantity in
the years 187-1, 1873 and I**7<s, and it
will make a larger quantity in the near
future. California and Washington
Territory have made arrangements since
the close of the census year to tnanufac*
ture iron. New Hampshire made iron
many years ago, but it floe* not appear
in the statistics for 1870: it re appears
in the tables for 1880. Oregon and
| Texaeac)i built a blast furnace in the
decade preceding the census year 1870,
but they did not make any iron in that
year; they appear, however, in the sta
tistics of production for 1880. The
