I Kir rear for the msriTcn.i
Since the formation of the American
Union there hare eiisted powerful political
parties aiming to control the administra
tion of government lor arious ends and
purpos-es which they profess to respect.
These parties differ in many particulars
from similar parties in England. They
have not proceeded upon the idea that op
position is always a iealthy restraint upon
the party in power so much as upon the
strength of popular moement to secure
specific ends. AVc have no such thing as
"Her Majesty's Opposition," but it is safe
to say that, as there has been, so there will
always be, opposition to the party in power
r for one cause or another.
There is no doubt, however, of the utility
ot that restraint upon those entrusted with
the management of government which is
derived merely from the knowledge that
they are under the fiery criticism of an or
ganized body of the people who have no
more noble obiect than putting those in
power out and themselves in. Frequently
political contests amount to little more than
this strife between the outs and ins. but on
the other hand there have been many ocea
tions in the history of the country when
something better has"been the issue.
If anything is done in political life
whcther'fnr good or for ill, it must beac
compllshed through organization. Occa
sionally the enthusiasm of a large number
of people is concentrated upon some par
ticular object and a spontaneous movement
takes place which requires very little or
ganized effort to sustain. But "more fre
quently particular measures and ends are
developed only through lines of policy
which must be pursued for a considerable
pciiod of time and the significance and
value of w hich aie only understood by or
ganized agitation; hence in the creation of
political parties the principlo of co-operation
is not only legitimate but it is always
salutary aud "even necessary to political
existence.
Platforms and Leaders.
"Weare not, however, able to judge of the
value of particular organizations wholly by
the ends they proyse to thcmceUes for ac
count mut always be taken of the personal
factors making up the means the society has
inr accomplishing its ends. This is almost
n'wnyslost to the sight of those jvlip are
enthusiastic over co-operation as a method
of achieving results. However admirable
the platform of a party may be, its success
end snpremacv may be wholly vicious, and
1) ought with danger to the common weal,
unless its controlling sentiments are those
which the moral law approves. This
means that the controlling sentiments of
the iudir'dtial members of the party who
gotern it shall be righteous.
One great trouble is, then, that those who
compose the party are too olren actuated by
their own selfish purposes and are.using the
party only as a means for their unpatriotic
ends. "When this is the case principles are
. lo-t sight of and the party is ycry apt to be
come a body in which counter-interests are
adjusted and balanced with each other, and
, the preservation of an equilibrium between
.these diflerent interests becomes practically
the main thing to be sought. In such case,
however good the principles of the party
niE be, they are even ignored in practice or
are not supported with that degree of force
which is necessary for success. Everything
is done timidly, and the platform is pre
served for show purposes, while the activity
of the organization is very little directed
toward putting in practice the principles
professed.
In close connection with this arises
another evil, which is, that from the neces
sity of keeping the party compact for the
purposes of victory, the ideal of the party
as a means to a higher end is lost sight of
and it becomes simply an end in itself: the
success of the party takes precedence of the
welfare of the country. This feeling is in
tensified by the competition ot the oppos
ing parties "and it is found that the political
arxiv must be like the militant, thoroughly
welf trained, despotically governed and
composed of the men who are willing to act
without asking the reason why. This is a
dangerous condition for the State. This is
a case of excessive confidence in the co
oprrativc idea; but in order to make the co
operation complete and effective men elim
inate that which alone makes co-operative
valuable. They take away that real unity
of thought and feeling which creates an or
ganic constructive force and get in place of
it blind destructive force to be wielded by a
few in modes that these few determine.
Vt lien Partisanship Is Bitter.
JSoth upon the leaders and upon the rank
and file of the organization this sort of sen
timent is thoroughly demoralizing. The
latter come to regard loyalty to the party
as the test of the full performance of the
dnties of the citizen. They allow their
chiefs to do their thinking for them. They
vote unblushingly again their ownljctter
judgment if they have ifleas of their own.
They believe indefinitely and without re
flection that ruin will be wrought if the
other party prevail. They decline to see
the faults of their own side. Theirs to
obey, to follow. The country, the State is
their party; others are foreigners and
rtraagers. "Within is celestial beauty;
w ithout is darkness, howling and gnashing
of teeth.
Upon the leaders there is the pres
sure of responsibility for the direction if
they are personally honest. They plan to
defeat the other side. That is the objec
tive point, the chief end. They must gov
ern their movements accordingly. They
must say enough to satisfy the mo't, and as
little as possible to offend! Generalities in
1 principles, therefore, commend themsehes,
lecause they are easily evaded, and anyone
can put his own interpretation upon them.
3'ersonal favors must be shown to prevent
desertion; the enemy must be watched, nn.il
every lapse taken advantage of; the idea of
possible good to the whole from the success
bf the other side is absolutely excluded. To
preserve the organization and win success
for it is the prime consideration for the
chiefs if they expect to maintain their rank
as leaders and obtain the emoluments of
party success.
Too Sluch Hypocrisy.
In addition to this there is often afforded
the very best opportunity for positive ven
ality and corruption. It is important to
retain the "-crvices of a good party worker,
ft en if he be a thief, and enriching himself
at the expense of the people. Tile tempta
tion to blink at this vice is very powerful.
And the closeness, compactness and disci
pline of the party present great induce
ments for venal persons of all sorts to enter
in. They know how to make themsehes of
consequence, and as they rise in the ranks
their chances of plunder or private profit,
indirectly gained, are increased. As their
power is enlarged they shape the whole pol
icy of the party with a view to personal
profit. It is d:ficult lor those more houet
'o restrain them, because to do so will pro
duce dissension aud injure the party. And
if a reign of terror exists, as is often .the
case, the one who raises his voice does so at
great peril to his interests. He is branded
as a malcontent, slandered, . befouled,
beaten, robbed and turned of doors naked.
The result of all this, and much more evil
of the same nature, to detail which would
require greater space than cau be allowed
is to make party declarations too frequently
mere hypocrisy and without significance; to
make jiarty action merely a contest of one
organization within the" hftdy politic with
another or others for success at all hazards;
andto create a. feeling that the only re
straint upon such action, or upon'the action
of its individuals, in official station, should
bt fear of the opposition. Fortnnate it is
that this last restraintof competition exists.
The remedy for these things is not in the
abolition of political parties, nor is it to be
found in the triumph of any organization or
in the overflow of any other. It is not in
more perfect organization as such, but in
less perfect. Or, perhaps better, as there
must be some organization, it lies in en
tirely different ideas of the limitations of
organizition a better understanding of
where it is needed, how it is to be used, and
when it must stop its work and disintegrate.
Parties Arcs Necessity,
Organization must always be subordinated
to organic growth; and to promote this last
there must be opportunity for every part to
grow. The co-operation "must always pro
ceed from within, never from outside con
straint. Individual independence of thought
and of action is what should be cultivated
and encouraged. The sentiment of loyalty
to party alone, or as final, should bedis
countenanced as a moral absurdity. It is of
the greatest consequence to inculcate the
notion that each man may and ought to give
effect in his own way to his own ideas,
formed by his own independent thought.
Impatience of dictation on the one side and
unwillingness to constrain upon the other,
is the healthy condition.
It thus appears that we should do wrong
to condemn all co-operative organizations
in the form of political parties. It is only
the selfishness of individuals that should be
restrained, and the tendency to exaggerated
notion of what co-operation can do that
should be corrected. In this way the
greatest abuse of political parties can be
counteracted. That abuse is always making
the society, its organization and its methods,
the chief "end, forgetting its original pur
pose. In the social and political worlds the
same law prevails as governs the develop
ment ot the individual character. When
there is organized movement for a social
end outside of its own preservation, it is in
aid of progress with all its drawbacks. But
when its movements become self-centered,
and its ends its own power of advantage, it
ceases to be of social value, and, on the con
trary, becomes an obstacle in the way of the
realization of the common good.

EDWARD TOWNSEND DEAD. "
SUDDEN" DEMISE OF THE CAMBBIA
IKON CO.'S PKESIDENT.
IIo Never Recovered From the Shock of the
Johnstown lTootl A Sketch or His Busy
Life How He Wiped Oat the Company's
Debt.
Philadelphia, Nov. 5. Special
Edward Y. Townsend, President of the
Cambria Iron Company, died of heart dis
ease this morning, at his country home at
Bryn Mawr. He had been in poor health
for some time, and for nearly two months
had been unable to attend to business. His
relatives and friends felt he ;ould not re
cover, and his death, therefore, although
sudden, was not unexpected.
Jlr. Townsend was born at AVest Chester,
Pa., October, 1824. His father was John
"V. Townsend and his mother Siballa A.
Price, daughter of Philip Price. Edward
Y Townsend was the.fifth in lineal descent
from Joseph Townsend, an intimate friend
and associate of "William Penn. Mr. Tawn
send's early education was acquired at the
school of Anthony Bolmar, at Vest Chester.
At the age of 18 he entered the firm of
"Wood, Abbott & Co., a wholesale drygoods
house doing an extensive business in the
South and West. "When the firm of "Wood,
Abbott & Co. was dissolved and that of
Wood, Bacon & Co. formed, he was made a
partner.
He continued in this firm until the acqui
sition of large interests in the Cambria
Iron Company by P. D. Wood and his
brother, Charles S., and others, who organ
ized the firm of Wood, Morrcll & Co., of
which Edward Y. Townsend was made a
partner. The firm was reorganized in 1SG2,
with Charles S. Wood as President and Mr.
Townsend as Vice President He filled
this office until Mr. Wood's death, in 1873,
when he was promoted to its Presidency.
He held that position continously until his
death, serving the stockholders with con
spicuous fidelity, and displaying the high
est executive ability and business skilL
AVhcii he was placed at the head of the
company the capital slock outstanding
amounted to 52,000,000, and there was a
large floating bebt. Mr. Townsend ac
cepted the office on condition that the company-extinguish
the debt as rapidly as pos
sible. The condition was accepted by the
directors, and with their aid Mr. Townsend
soon succeeded in wiping out the debt. The
great Johnstown flood gave Mr. Townsend
a shock from which he never fully recov
ered. The terrible loss of life completely
unnerved him, and as the accounts came to
his office he expressed his deepest sym
pathy for the families of the victims.
In addition to being President of the
Cambri Iron Company, he was a director
of the Philadelphia National Bank and the
Philadelphia Trust and Safe Deposit Com
pany. He leaves a widow, a daughter ot
Henry Troth, and two sons Henry T.,
President of the Logan Iron Company, and
J. W., Second Vice President of the" Cam
bria Iron Company.

STILL OS THE JUMP.
The
Production of the McDonald
Field Is Still Increasing.
SLAUGHTER HOUSE WELL NO GOOD.
Surprising Developments in All -Parts of
the Field Yesterday.
GOOD PRODUCERS EXPECTED TO-DAY
The top notch, the high rung and tho pin
acle of production was reached yesterday
in the McDonald oH field. Conservative
estimates placed it at 84,000 'tfhich
is more than it has ever been
here before. This almost equals the won
derful Bradford field which at one
time went as high as 110,000 barrels a day.
There seems to be no limit to the McDonald
McCurdy field, as big wells are found in all
parts of it and in the most unexpected places.
Unless there is a wonderful falling off in the
big wells and a change in the new-wells the
production of this little but
profitable field may yet go to
100,000 barrels a day. There is an
immense amount of territory to the south
west which has yet to be developed, and
also a great scope of elegantly looking
ground between the Elliott and the
3rathews well, which has never been
"rilled. The well on the slaughter
house lot at Oakdale is probably
the most important in the field.
It is farther to the cast of a 45 line than
ony of the others and consequently receiv
ing more aucuiion man any oi lis uuigii
bors, as it is now drilling in" the fifth sand.
It is not, howtver, showing for much of a
well in the fifth sand formation.
No Change Was Noted.
There was little change yesterday in
the Guffey & Queen well on the H.
H. Wctmo're farm, located a mile and a
half northwest of Oakdale. This well is not
surrounded by gassers and small producers
as was at first supposed. An investigation
of he wells shows that they are only
drilled in the third aud fourth sands.
There is not a well between the
AVefraore and the Mathews, which
is about a mile to ihe southwest on
922l line. AVhenlhis territory is opened
up it will w ithout a doubt swell the pro
duction and more than offset the decline
from the wells which are now regarded as
the gushers of field.
Work in the Field.
The field, as usual, presents many inter
esting features, and as it grows older it af
fords the most scientific geologist ample
room to ply his vocation. The spotted char
acter of the territory is becoming more ap
parent every day, while the surprises are
daily growing more numerous. The
Slaughterhouse well at Oakdale is from 15
to 20 feet in the fifth sand to-night, with
but little indications of it making a well.
Yet there is a possibility that the bottom of
the rock may yield up the stuff, but the
chances are against a theory of this kind.
Outside of the Slaughterhouse well the
venture of Gartland & Feelv. on the Me
Kee property, is the most interesting and
important wen m mis tcciiou ui uie neiu.
It is located only 800 feet west of the
Slaughterhouse, and a special from the field
at 10 o'clock last night was to the effect that
it was just on top the sand, spraying lively
and had all the car marks of a big well.
Should this turn out to be the case it will
lend a new impetus to developments around
Oakdale, besides stimulating many indus
trial enterprises in the town. The owners
thought they would have matters in shape
to-day to drill the well in, the result of
which is being looked forward to with great
interest. GnftV, Murphy, Jennings & Gaily
drilled their No. 4 Herron a little while to
day, increasing its production to 375 barrels
an hour.-
The Oakdale OH Company also deepened
their Sturgeon heirs Xo. 2, which had the
same effect, and its record to-night by an
actual gauge is 350 barrels an hour.
One esteemed morning contemporary is
still lost in deep wonder where all the pro
duction comes" from, but if an " account of
this phenomenal increase was taken it
might throw considerable light on the ques
tion so little understood. There is the
Forest Oil Company's 2fo. 1, Etta Glenn,
too, which from the same source of pro
found reasoning has been said to be greatly
Overestimated, but an actual gauge of tho,
well to-day by an impartial party makes its
production for the past 24 hours over 4,000
barrels, or about 170 barrels an hour. It is
a corker, to be sure, but the sooner the plain
facts are proclaimed to the trade, the better
it will be for everyone engaged in the in
dustry. Kennedy, Fitzgibbon, Bott it Co.,
on the Moore farm, ill the McCurdy end of
the Held, found the fifth sand to-day. The
shell is only broken and to-night the
well has a record of 45 barrels an
hour. To-morrow, barring drawbacks, they
will drill in, and judging from present in
dications it will make a well of the first
magnitude. Andy Gartland and AV. L.
Mell's weir on the Taylor, which has been
erroneously reported by our morning eta
temporary, is also in the fifth sand to-night
and flowing 15 barrels an hour. They ex
pect to open it up to-day. At least that
was the intention of its owners last night
when The Dispatch scout met them.
Pat Galligan, on the Connell lot, between a
quarter and a half mile northeast jrom the
big Mathews well, is in the fifth sand to
night with his venture, which is doing at
the rate of 100 barrels a day. Mr. Galligan
said to The Dispatch scout that if every
thing went well he would know by night
what it was good for. The 'Wallace
Oil Company's well on the lumber 3ard
lot in McDonald town is far enough
into the fifth sand to demonstrate that it will
never amount to much as a producer or, in
other words, it is practically dry. Jennings,
Guffy & Co.'s So. 4 Bejl. aboutJOO feet
north of Xo. 2, is making 175 barrels a day
from the Gordon sand. Greenlee & Forst
are drilling in the Gordon in No. 5 Mevcy,
which is flowing 150 barrels a day from this
stratum. It they have good luck this well
will reach the fifth Monday or Tuesday, and,
being located only 400 feet south from their
Jumbo, the end is awaited with some inter
est. The Guffy & Queene well on the H. H.
Wetmore farm is still the center of attrac
tion. There was nothing done at the well
yesterday on account of tankage, but this
necessity will be provided for to-day, and
the drill will make the much looked for rev
elation. Gauges of the Wells.

A TBEASURE HTJNIEti'S TSAGEDY.
How a Diver at a Wreck In lAko Michigan
Met His Death.
Alpena, Mich., Nov. 5. About two
weeks ago thewreeking tug Emerald came
to this port to discover, if possible, the
wreck, of the Rewabic, which went down
several years ago, and secure her treasure.
After considerable trouble the wreck was
found. The place was at once buoyed, and
the boat started for this port to coal up. On
Tuesday everything was in readiness and
they headed for the wreck again, having ot
board Oliver Pelkey and Michael McCarty,
two of the most expert divers in the United
States. Pelkey insisted on going down
first He was let down the side of the
boat and soon found his way to the wreck.
In about 20 minutes the signals stopped.
This caused considerable uneasiness, and
after waiting a few moments more without
hearing from him, they loosened the con
necting lines in hopes" that he might free
himself, but of no avail. He was fast in the
wreck. Six stalwart men were unable to
pull him up, and as a last resort the Cap
tain ordered the lines made fast to the tow
post and the tug started ahead. It required
considerable of a pull to free him, but some
thing finally parted and it was found that
his body was j-ct attached to the lines. A
hole in his armor near the hips indicated
that water had rushed in and smothered
him. Life was not quite extinct when he
was drawn on board, but he soon gasped
several times and passed away. His re
mains were sent to West Superior, AVis.,
where a widow and one child mourn his un
timely end.

The people of Duquesne Heights are
very much surprised at the sudden disap
pearance of a boarding house mistress, who
resided on Meridian street. AA'hen the oc
pants of the rooms returned home on last
Saturday night the rooms were bare with
the exception of their personal effects, the
landlady moved no one knows where dur
ing their absence. On Monday an attach
ment was issued by the owner of the house,
to whom was. owed four months' rent, but
there was nothing left but the personal ef
fects of the boarders, who are now trying to
induce the owner to 'withdraw the attach
ment so they can secure their goods.

Hex Doctors at Reading Are Living
Off Rural Superstition.
EVERY ILL IS LAID TO WITCHES.
An Unfortunate Farmer's Wife Must Bear
the Brunt of It All.
SOME PECULIAR INSTANCES CITED
BnADixc, Pa., Nov. 5. AVitches and
witchcraft exist among the stony hills of
Earl and Douglas townships, eight miles
east of Reading. Strange as the. statement
may look in modern type, 'belief in this ex
ploded delusion forms to-day as important
an element in the life of the humble farmers
there as it did in that of the Salem colony
fanatics of the seventeenth century.
.'Spells," "influence," "magnetism,"
'witchery," and the "evil eye" seems act
ually to pursue these people by day aud
haunt them by night, even exercising a
more baneful influence than does voodooism
in the black belts of the Southern States.
AVhat is worse, moreover, is the fact that
half a dozen "witch doctors" in this very
city carry on a nefarious practice among
them, and seek to promote their own profit
by fostering the strange error and extending
it to other neighborhoods. Tragic events
have resulted within the past three months,
and still more serious consequences may be
looked for in the near future.
The Spells Cast by Witches.
Half a dozen families live within sight of
one another in that wild locality. Gresh
ville is the nearest village, two miles away.
The houses and farm buildings are uniformly
of stone, as are the fences iaclosing the
fields. Much sickness has prevailed
thereabouts of late. -For miles around
persons suffering from various ill
nesses contend that they have had spells
which ordinary physicians cannoUcure, cast
upon them by malevolent "hexes or
witches, residingdiear by.
In one of these stone houses live a respec
table and estimable couple, a middle-aged
farmer and his wife. She is an invalid from
an affection of tlie" throat and lungs, and in.
consequence keeps a handkerchief tied
arounlher head and bound over her mouth
to prevent her from catching cold. She is
accused of causing much of the sickness and
suffering complained of, and her neighbors
say the white band oyer her mouth marks
her as a witch. They point the finger of
scorn at her and remark to one another in
whispers: "Look out, she's a hex!"
Charged With Many Evil Things.
A few days ago a 1-year-old child near by
died of a mysterious malady, and this good
lady was blamed for its death. Another
child last week became lame in a curious
way, and tacks and pins -were found inside
its shoe, whereupon neighbors insisted that
the innocent woman had put an evil spell
on the child.
A bick woman three houses away alleges
that shc is tortured bodily and mentally
every night by this same woman in con
junction with another old woman a short
distance off. The reputed "hex" is even
held accountable for the diseases of people
whom she never knew. Her aged mother,
who died some years ago, was likewise ac
cused of 'witchery" in her time, and the
calumnies against her are now transferred
to her daughter. They aro liable to drive
her to self-destruction if they continue.
This unfortunate woman herself, although
she energetically dis vows all belief in witch
craft andf talks ordinarily like an enlight
ened Christian, yet strangely enough enter
tains the idea, whimsical if you please, that
'somebody has maliciously bewitched her pet
cow.
A Woman's Pet Cow Bewitched.
"That cow," said she one day this week
to a reporter, "has behaved ever so queerly
of late. She is mysteriously milked every
night in the stable, but by what orliy whom
I don't know. She used to be very gentle,
but now she holds her had high in the air,
looks wildly out of her eyes and runs and
jumps fences all-possessed, like a wild ani
mal. I don't know what's after her, but
ssmething certainly is."
Afow rods away lives anotiier woman
who relates that her husband was recently
troubled by what he at first thought to be
rheumatism, as he did not believe in witch
craft. He had been ailing all summer and
was curiously afflicted. Each evening he
felt perfectly well and active, but in the
mornings he would be stiff all over and
could not move. Three weeks ago he vis
ited a Beading "witch doctor," who de-
Iclared that he hal been "magnetized," gave
him some powders, and cautioned him par
ticularly against giving or receiving any
thing from any of the neighbors, or talking
to anyone suspected of magnetizing him,
lor the space of nine days. The husband
did as directed, obeying .the "doctor's" in
junctions carefully, although several neigh
bors wanted him to receive things from
them, and now he is entirely restored.
"My husband," said this woman, "was
surely under a spelt I know it, and I'm
sure, too, who's to blame for it. It's an old
woman who lives yonder, across the hillside
there. She's a hex I"
Consulting With the. Witch Doctors.
The same Beading "witch doctor" is1
credited with curing a 14-year-old girl near
Colebrookdale station, five miles north
ward, ota similar case of stiff "magnetism.
A poor widow near Greshville, who lost her
voice last springand who was told by a
Beading "witch doctor" that, being "mag
netized," the "influence" would have to be
removed from her else it would kjilher, has
again lost her voice after a temporary re
covery, and now is hourly in fear of being
taken off by evil spirits. A score of other
cases of like character might be mentioned
as having developed lately in Earl town
ship alone. AA'hen the "witch doctors" are
consulted they shrewdly refraiu from men
tioning names as to the active personal
cause of the alleged magnetism from which
the patient suffers, and talk in such a way
that the patients locate the responsibility to
suit themselves.
And these are only a few of many in
stances of the inroads of this revamped old
superstition among the simple-minded
country folk.
