Republican Hypocrisy.
From the HarrUhurg Patriot.
"Amume a virtue If you have it not.*'
It is a startling but gratifying piece of
Intelligence which is gleaned from the
editorial columns of the New York
Tribune that "the republican party ap
peals to the people this year in behalf
of a free ballot and an honest count."
What singular change could have come
over the spirit of republican dreams
that this year the party should make
such an appeal? Has the hoary sinner
at last repented of his damning crime* 1
and resolved to turn from his evil ways ?
Have the returning board perjurers of
1876 been washed of their leprosy in
the Jordan of Political Furity, and have
the inventors of the Florida tissuo bal
lot of 1876 and the Mare Island "tape
worm" ticket of 1880 come to the con
fessional or the mourners' bench ?
Have the republican managers who pur
chased the electoral votes of Indiana
and New York for Uarfield and Arthur
with the stolen Star route money and
the shameful tithings of officeholders,
salaries, obtained absolution for their
hideous crimes against free suffrage
who in 1880 organized and directed the
terrorism by which the employes in the
largo manufactories were coerced into
casting a ballot they loathed, wrought
out their salvation by doing works meet
for repentance ? If not. then the time
is rather short for a party reeking with
the pollution of the most infamous !
crimes against the ballot box to get
itself sufficiently purified to mako n '
presentable appearance a* the champion j
of a free ballot and a fair count at the {
approaching elections.
The designation of "this year" as tho
time for the seizure of the republican
party with this spaam of virtue is rather
significant. It implies that in forme'
years tbe party was not troubled with
any affection of that character. It is
tantamount to an admission that here
tofore republicans did not concern
themselves to secure free and fair elec
tions. The cunning editor was too
cautious to declare, in the language of
the ordinary party platform, that the
republican party reasserts its constant
devotion to "a free ballot and fair
count." He prudently refrained from
any attempt to illustrate the sincerity
of the republican appeal of "this year"
for an honest and untrnmmeled ballot,
by referring to the history of thAt par
ty's relations to the conduct of past
elections. Was there present in his
mind the recollection of the historic j
fact that in 1864 a Massachusetts regi
ment voted a half dozen times for tbe
republican ticket in the state of In
diana? Did he chance to remember
that the chief republican city, Philadel
phia, was absolutely given over for a
dozen years to the control of repeaters
and return forgers and that the first
effort to rescue that great municipality
from republican villainy, which resulted
in the conviction of Brown the "twenty
timer," was thwarted by a republican
president who pardoned the criminal?
Or had he in remembrance the gigantic
fraud of 1876,by which the people were
swindled out of their choice for presi
dent, or to come down to a later date,
had he jhat perused tbe pages of the
Congretnonal Record in which appears the
blearest proof that United States mar
shal* unlawfully appointed for polls
outside of metropolitan districts in
Houth Carolina in 1880 intimidated both
white and black democrats and in
numerous instances led an infuriated
mob to defeat a fair expression of the
popular will, and in which may be
found tbe speech of Greenbacker Jones
of Texas exposing tbe chicane of the
election committee in giving the seat of
Fin ley to Biabee for the Seoond district
of Florida and the clear and conolutivo
argument of Mill* of Texas showing up
the Alabama republican tissue ballot
fraud, and the arbitrary exclusion of
democratic vote* by the same committee
in order to seat Lowe instead of Wheeler
for the Eighth Alabama district ? Some
thing must have admonished the writer
of the article in the Tribune that it
would be imprudent to date the repub
lican desire for "a free ballot anil a fair
count" further back than ''this year."
No matter from what Boureo the admo
nition comes neither its wisdom nor
propriety can be successfully disputed.
I'elit leal Assessment*.
The New York llerald calls it "rob
bing tho cradle," and says :
llow terribly in earnest the party in
power has become in its effort* to "save
the Union" may be imagined by the re
port published yesterday that even the
little pages of Co. press had been as
sessed ten dollar* each in order to help
the glorious work along. It has been
said that the great Napoleon so ex
hausted the fighting slock of France
that when raising troops for his later
campaigns he spared neither the crajlle
nor the grave, and the party of moral
ideas seems to be in the same condition.
It has assessed everybody else that it
could force to the point of payment; if
now it has been compelled to pick the
pockets of small boys it ought to see
that the time has come to drop cam
paigns that are fought with money and
try one fight at least on principle.
Principle, indeed ! llow can a party
expect to win a fight with weapons to
which they are strangers, the use of
which they do not know ? The Repub
lican party feel their own impotency in
a struggle fought en principle, and
hence the recourse to mercenaries—
"civil service reform" placarded on the
foreheads of tho leaders, while the
messengers bear to the desks ot small
nflicials the political demand of "your
money or your life." .Senator Van
Wyck offered the following in the
United States Senate on Monday, which
was promptly objected to by Senator
Plumb, and had to lie over for a day
under the rule, hut which we hope will
be pushed to adoption or rejection, so
thai the country and the poor assessed
officials may know who these highway
men are:

Whaf in a Newspaper I
A newspaper in a business enterprise
and may be conducted on busioess
principle*. Men are constantly asking
favor* of newspaper* which mean* a
sacrifice of apace representing money,
who would never dream of asking law
yer* to take their pay in thank*. The
dead-bead is disappearing from other
department* of business life, and the
newspaper dead-head, distinguished
though he be, must follow. Newspa
pers, ling business enterprise*, must
live in a business way. If the public
does not siffiport the best newspapers,
it must expect to see the worst news
papers thrive. The journal is a product
rather than a force. It will not reflect,
but represent the age it lives in. It is
true, and especially true of our own
country, that newspapers, in the hands
of men having convictions and believ
ing they could with this modern lever,
help to move the world, have accom
plished great things. Without them
the great movement* of the past cen
tury for the furtherance of personal,
religious and political liberty would
have traveled at a snail's pace. Kut
this was possible only because tbey had
the support of the best men and women
of the community. The newspaper can
lead, hut the leadership implies a fol
lowing. As a rule newspaper* are what
they make them. The responsibility of
the subscriber is as great in its way a*
that of the editor. The surest way of
keeping the standards of journalism
high, and of raising them, is for that
portion of the public who knows the
necessity of a dignified and able press
to withhold its support altogether from
newspapers which cater to depraved
tastes and are reckless of the truth, and
give it to newspaper* which can safely
be taken into the family, and are not
only decent but just.

Among tho memorial orations de
livered last Tuesday was one by Rev.
Dallas Tucker, of Virginia, delivered in
Worcester, <hio. Mr. Tucker is a
grandson of the lute George M. Dallas,
of this city, at one time Vice President
of the United States, and a nephew of
Hon. .1. Randolph Tucker, member of
the House from the Sixth Virginia Dis
trict. Dallas Tucker was a supporter of
the Confederacy, in Richmond, during
the war, and had a brother killed in
the rebel army. This oration, coming
from such a man and delivered in Cen
tral Ohio, is a valuable index of the
present loyalty of some of the hem
Southerners and ex Confederates. The
spirit of the speech is well exemplified
in the following passage :
"I must not hide from you, fellow
citizens, what some present already
know, that in the orderings of Divine
Providence, my lot was cast on that
side against which these men, whom
we are assembled to honor, victoriously
fought. Rut not for this reasou, nor
for any other, do I the less heartily
unite with these memorial aervices.
< >ur t Serman fore Tat hers had a queer old
legend connected with tho terrilio bat
tle of Chalons, fought in the fifth cen
tury between the Romans arid Visi
goths. The bloody encounter was over
and the field of conflict was strewn
with countless bodies of brave men
wounded and dead. Rut for three
days after—so the tale ran—the spirits
of the dead kept up the conflict in the
sir above. Wo have no such legend
."d hold no sucli belief concerning the
late civil strife. Thank God, we may
nnd do believe, that the brave men who
fought, then, on both sides, are now, so
far as they are together, living iu peace
and brotherly love. Patriots of all
sections, ictus think of them thus for
ever all perfectly reconciled, and as we
stand beside these mule and quiet sep
ulchres, with their immortally sacred
remains, let us foreswear whatever, if
any bitterness nnd wrath, and resent
ment may still linger in one direction
for the other. The war, made memora
ble by the brave mn who fought it, is
over. The results are accepted. The
fruits are gathered. Once more the
land is united under one unresisted nnd
acknowledged government, stronger
than ever before. Oh, brothers of the
North and South, let us regard that its
mistaken, if not guilty real that would
fight in words even that war over again,
or kindle might of the flames of bitter
ness natural to such an internecine
struggle; and let us seek, brothers of a
common country, to cement these 1
American States and Territories, al
ready bound tog<4fcer by Government,
Constitution and interests, into a clos,-r.
more indissoluble and irresistible union
by the silken cords of mutual esteem,
confidence, forbearance and love."

WASHINGTON, June 8.
In 1873 patents wero issued by the
Interior Department to the Northern
Pacific Ktiiroad Company for over seven
hundred thousand acres of land in
Minnesota, the cost of surveying which
was something over #2ft,ooo.
At the time these patents were issued
the fact was overlooked that a prior act
had provider! that the cost of surveying,
selecting and conveying lands must be
paid by the railroad company before the
patent was issued. The costs in this
case not having lieen demanded of the
company by the government before
patenting, the company afterwards re
fused to pay them.
Secretary Teller has just decided that
said expenses must lie paid by the rail
road company and has directed the
Commissioner of the General I<and
< >flice to certify no further lands to the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company un
til such fees are paid—not only on any
lands the patent for which may be here
after asked, but Also on those heretofore
patented to that company.
The Sm Milk Industry.
The greatest incentive to engage in
silk culture is (he knowledge that there
is a home market for #15,000 000 worth
of floss, which American manufacturers
are obliged to import from foreign lands.
The other consideration is, that silk cul
ture furnishes women and children in
the rural districts, with a congenial oc
cupation that does not require constant
attention, and so will not interfere with
household duties.
In view of these facts the Women's
Si k Cultute Association of Philadelphia
was organized two years ago, for the
purpose of calling the attention of the
women of the country to the oppor
tunity given them to establish a new
industry, both suitable and profitable ;
and also to give the necessary instruc
tions to all desiring to engage in silk
culture.
The success of tbia pioneer association
is remarkable; there has been aroused
a wide spread interest in the cultivation
of cocoons, that must go on increasing
until the aim of the association is ful
filled.
This fsot was most forcibly presented
at the last exhibition of the association,
•t which tbe display of cocoons was
very fine and interesting. Tbe ohief
feature of the exhibition km the display
of specimen cocoons by the twenty-six
contestants for the Ntrawbridge ,t Clo
thier premiums. The first oneof which,
hy the way, wim carried ofl' liy Mrs.
Hebocca Taylor, (mother of the late
Rityard Taylor,) who is over k'> years of
age, and a sufferer from paralysis.
Tlie association announces that
through the liberality of Messrs. Straw
liridge A Clothier the well known dry
goods merchants of Philadelphia, it is
again enabled to oiler to the nilk cut
turists the sum of five hundred dollars
in ten premiums, as follows : First pre
mium, flttO; second premium, $75;
third premium, $65; fourth premium,
fifth premium,s.oo; sixth premium,
sls; seventh premium, $-10; eighth
premium, S3O; ninth premium, $25;
tenth premium, $lO. For these pre
miums any resident of the United
Stales may contest. Frrtm the ten
largest amounts of cocoons, one pound
will be taken, without selection, ami
the test of reeling applied ; the quantity
and quality will be the conditions for
premium. Application for competition
must he endorsed and the amount of
this year's cocoons raised by the cub
turist, testified to by some responsible
person. Stock inut be sent not later
than December 1, 1882.
Anyone with sufficient land to grow a
few mulberry trees can add the rearing
oi silk worms to the daily care and find
it a source of pleasure anil profit. The
work occupies but a small portion of
the year, and a child can attend to the
daily gathering of leaves and feeiling
the worms, if a supply of mulberry
leaves cannot be bad, an ossge orange
hedge will answer every purpose. The
ossge orange leaf is admirable fi>od for
the silk worms, from which they spin
splendid silk.
A very interesting event of national
interest, connected with this subject of
silk culture, bus just occurred in Phila
delphia. The Women's Silk Culture
Association selected silk Irotn twenty
six families living in fourteen states;
had it spun on a "Yankee" reel, made
into a web of twenty-eight thousand
threads of silk, and woven as a brocade
on a Jarquard loom, requiring three
thousand six hundred needles to form
the original and striking design. This
is the first brocade ever woven in Arne
rica of American silk ; and probably th<
heaviest in texture of any brocade ever
woven. it is known as the Garfield
dress, as it is the intention of the asso
ciation to pre-ent this magnificent fabric
to Mrs. James A. Garfield.
Value of Punctuality.
<ne cannot l>cgin 100 early in life t--
discipline himself to habits of the nm-! I
exacting punctuality in ke. ping ever*
engagement and the performance o(
■ very service, le it little or great. Great
men in alt ag.s have been noted for :
punctuality. They believe an art to be 1
well done must be done promptly. N*
(•oleon used to insist on at <. ute prompt
e* with hi* marshal*, saying:
"You may ak anything of me but
time."
V\ .ishington was punctilious in exact
ing promptness from all hi* officers.
On one occasion, when visiting Bos
ton, the column wa* ordered to in ve at
six o'clock in the morning. Washing
ton na present before the time, but the
Uir*hal of the day, supposing that the
hour wa* too early to start, wa* tardy in
appearing. Washington looked at his
watch nervously, waited a moment or
two after six, and then ordered the
column to move. Some time after the
marshal rode furiously to the front,
making many apologie* for the delay.
Washington replied, pleasantly •
"It i* our custom to a*k, not if the
leader, but if the hour ha* come."
John tjuincy Adam*, in hi* long *cr
vice in Congress wa* never known to bo
late. One day the clock struck, and a
member said to the Speaker; "It's
time to call the house to order."
"No," said the Speaker, "Mr. Adam*
i* not in hi* *eat yet."
At this moment Mr. Adam* appeared.
He wa* punctual* but the clock wa*
three minute* fa*t.
Tin New York G'/eV a publication
devoted to the interest* of the colored
race. *ay. that "Pennsylvania's colored
population of 85,535, is as completely
ignored by the politicians a* if it did
not contain 30,000 colored voters, while
the colored population of New York,
numbering above 65 000 souls, with a
voting force of 25,000, enter* no more
into the calculation of politicians here
than if it was a disfranchised element."
It is pretty much the same way all
through the North. Kven in Ma**a
rliiKett* the colored brother is of insig
nificant consequence in the distribution
of offices. Where he is presumed to
te most intelligent, most influential,
mot nearly on a social level with the
whites, most unrestricted in the exer
cise of all the rights of citizenship, hi*
color is quite as much discriminated
against and be is made to feel as keenly
the degrading sense of his inferiority as
even at the Hi* lack of self-as
sertion accounts for this in part. In the
Southern States where his vote is need
ed to break tin a Democratic party, he
is put into the field and made to do
what his political owner* dictate, and
being a factor of considerable potentiali
ty in politics, contrives, occasionally, to
get a comfortable share in the division
of plunder. It is to the interest of the
Republican party that heshould. There
are localities, also, where he is able to
name his terms, and the Republican
party, in pursuance of its Southern pro
gramme, is usually willing to accept
them. At the North bis experience is
of an entirely different character. It is
only where the Republican* most need
his service* that he is permitted to be
come an active element of their party or
ganisation. They are sure of Ins vote
in New York nd Pennsylvania, there
fore in those States he is hut a passive
element, educated in humiliation, eon
tent to sleep in the sun, and only
taught to feel that he owes a debt of
gratitude to hi* Republican masters, of
which he dares not question the justice
nor repudiate a dollar. It is not al
together his own fault that as the Glob*
suggests, he is virtually "disfranchised;"
but having the same liberty of action
and latitude of expression as any other
roan he can gradually work his neck
out of the yoke if be will.
