THE telegraph strike has collapsed.
It was a distinguished failure, ami the
operators are returning to service
minus the increased pay demanded.
THE New Orleans Picayuif Ims tin
best method of promoting th civil
service. It proposes to send only .uoli
men to cougress as are fit to be there.
THE growing independence of the
colored voter and his distrust of the
immaculate honesty of the g. o. p., i
ouc of the aflliclions the R< publicans
are encountering in many places.
THE Sultan has ordered the ladies
of the harem to wear thicker veils.
If the Turkish ladies are like their
sisters elsewhere, the Sultan will lie
wise ill keeping hi* courtiers out of
view of the harem, or the thick veil
will soou he liberally supplied with air
holes.
IT is apparent that General Crook -
services arc again much needed in tin
Sierra Madras. The red devils ho
, failed to capture on his former expedi
tion and bring out of tie -c mountains
it is announced have again comrnenet d
their depredations of plunder and
murder of the white people. He
should try again.
THE Austin Texas: Stat'onnn in a
vigorous article advocates the nomi
nation of Thomas K. Bayard, of Dela
ware, as the Democratic candidate for
President, claiming equal acceptability
for him north ami south. If great
ability, pure and unmixed honesty,
and enlarged patriotism are considera
tion to commend, Bayard stands well
to the front.
IT is said in Ohio that a mutual
benefit society has been organized by ,
President Arthur and Oov. Charles
Foster for 1884, and that Ohio is cx"
T* pec ted to contribute a full quoto to
the profits of the institution. No men-
I tion is made that John Sherman has .
Irecn consulted, or remains passive in
the arrangements. John generally
has something to say in small affairs
of this kind.
L 'THE reason that no agreement can
be made by the legislature upon the
' pfts-ago of an apportionment bill, is
liecouse the Republicans prefer the
present shameless gerrymander of the
state passed ten years ago, to any hill
that could with any decency Ire passed
now, with the most generous concession
jKissihle on the part of the Democrats.
It was to retain the old gerrymander
that the odious and infamous Mc-
Craeken hill was framed.
lIOS. WM. 11. BAKNI M, who had
"'national charge of the campaign, alle
le ccssfully defends Mr. Tilden from the
recent charge of procuring the defeat
of Gen. Hancock. He ays that Mr.
Tilden cantributed twenty-five thou
sand dollars in aid of Gen. Hancock's
canvass, and that the Democracy were
indebted to hini* fiff much valuable
Bf* strvico during the campaign. He also
r eay9 thai Mr. Tilden was not averse to
■ (he nomination or election of Gen.
Hancock. Nobody but cranks and ,
■ personal enemies of the eminent New
York statesman believed otherwise.

In our last wo referred briefly to the
creditable and proper reforms of the
working force of the Democratic
I louse of Representatives, by which
$lB,OOO were saved to the taxpayers I
of the commonwealth over former
Republican organizations of that body,
ami promised further reference to the
more important actions of our noble
Democratic (i ivernor in arresting U"'
big steals annually perpetrated under
the polite title of appropriation.
These appropriation hills were puvd
as usual and the Democratic hou-e,
following the precedents cust#uis, in
allowing theni to pass unchallenged
became unconscious partic- to fraud.
The Governor, however, with that in
dependent investigation and fearless
a--ertion of law and right for which
he is fatuous, could not allow wrong
to prevail on the ground that cu-totn
sanctioned public stealing, cxerci-"l
the veto powers vested in him by the
constitution, and pla>ed the -eal < :
his disapproval on the following items
which imposes the tiece -itv t i "p> -t
the hook- another time.
The fir-t item tin Governor strikes
out is £ '.,"JoU l'i r tie- pay of the chief
clerk, reading, iotirnal and mcs-.ige
clerks of the senate for pro rata sala
ries during the time the legislature
was' in sc.--ion over 1"" days, on the
ground that all th -e officers receive i
a fixed -alary under the act of May
11, For the ante reason t).
Governor disapproved of an item ap
propriating $ I,'Jo'l for the pay of ti,•
chief clerk, reading, rt-ident, journal
and im -age clerks of the house pro

devolving upon them during the y- .r
I*-M. I'nd r >ur constitution the 1 ;-
i-lnture only meets in regular -• -i n
once in two years. There can be no
rcgulnr s< -sion therefore in 1 ami
the (iov< rnor in his message well nv
"l can imagine no function- or duty
of chief clerks during that year." An
appropriation of |G<)O each to the
chief clerk of the senate and house
for the expenses of their < llice-' during
1884, i* di-approvi d, ami among other
items disapproved by the Governor
under the authority of the constitu
tion giving him the right to cheap- i
prove of any item of an appropria
tion hill are the following:

"The practice," saysthc Governor,
"under various forms of words of
making these officers perpetual at
large compensation and great expense,
has in the past grown into a regular
system. I am unable to comprehend
how any such sum can IK* needed or
properly used in a period when no
session is being held. I have there
fore disapproved of all such items for
the year 1884, when these officers nre
not rcpiired to he in attendance upon
the legislature, and when the law says
they shall receive no salary."
This is sound doctrine. The people
can and will endorse such action. Tltr
Governor doe* not rreoynue the pro
priety oj the *tat' paying for errvice*
not rendered. The people now know
where many thousands, ami even hun
dreds of thousands of dollars of their
money have annually gone, and who
received it, and,by what means it was
taken. But for this information they
are not indebted to scrub women re*
form legislation. To the Governor,
who it is charged is arbitrary and set*
up his opinion against the legislature*
belongs tho credit of revealing this
method of stealing. To the veto of
the items mentioned, and especial)

TIIK press and correspondents are
very enthusiastic svor the success of
the President in angling for trout in
the waters of the Rocky mountains.
In that wild region where tho "speckled
beauties" nre not educated as they are
in tho civilized streams of this section,
little skill is required to make cap
tures. But let him test his luck in
the mountain streams of Pennsylvania
where a trout can detect a green-horn
at forty yards, and the enthusiasm of
the press will fall to low figures.

It is not within the power or province
ol any man now living, remarks the
Wellington /' . however prominent
in public or prnfes-i nal life -to fill the
place m le TAi int by the death of Jere
ntiali v . black. Not that h" w,a* the
greatest man of tho Ag< a greatne is
commonly rated but that he occupied
a r.ink in the jurisprudence ofhisooun
try. and played a part in hi* country's
history that no other statesman and
lawyer has dono before him. and which
required a peculiar combination of great
qualities to occupy and play with such
dislinguishe 1 and .lmost unvarying
' success.
A lawyer of profound learning, a
judge of incorruptible rectitude, r
member of the Cabinent, eminent in
both the responsible position to which
h- was called great in all things, with
the po-utilities ofjunachicved greatness
always before him, that .men of other
mould* might have grasped a* trades
men in politic*, hut which he never sor
dully being both statesman
and patriot of more than Kornan virtues
he ha* stood before the country for
years as the embodiment of intellect
uvl resources, imperial in their vastoess
and splendor, an authority undisputed
in the law and a landmark of Ameri
can manhood in it* truest and best
sense.
That he was true to the Constitution,
of which he was the ablel of analysis,
true to tho (iovernroent, of which both
the strength* and the weakness—the
excellencies and the faults—were as
familiar to his mind as the alphabet,
the annals ol Mr. Buchanan's Adminis
tration successfully attest.
If partisan oritioa have aspersed his
loyalty, it has only been to lie con
founded by the eulogistic indorsement
of his suocessor In the Attorney Gen
eral's office, and subsequent Secretary
of War, who was at cbary of adulation
to other* as he was himself rancorous ia
NO. :s:e

That he rni^ht liavo attained the
highest honor* in the gift of hi# fellow

been a politician of expediency rather
than a man of conviction*, against the
trimming of which, to suit hi# personal

TIIK lltT RBT.—A physician says the
cry for rest has always been louder than
the cry for f<*>d. Not that it Is more im
portant, but it is often harder to obtain.
Tho best rest comes from sound sleep,
of two men or women, otherwise equal,
the ontf who sleeps the best will bo the
most moral, healthy and efficient. Sleep
will do much to cure irritability of tem
per, peevishness, and uneasiness. It will
restore to vigor an over-worked brain.
It wilt build up and make strong a weary
body. It will cure a headache. It will
help a Wken spirit. It will assuaga sor
row. Indeed, we might make a long list
of nervousness and other maigdie* that
sleep will cure. The care of steeple**,
ness requires "a clean bed, sufficient ex
ercise to produce weariness, pleasant oc
cupation, good air, and not too warm a
room, a clear conscience, and avoidance of
stimulant* and {narcotic*. *
