A-WORD TO TOTITE MEN. ' '
The voting strength of the nation
is every year increased by the attain-
meat of young men to their majority.
Of these, some, no doubt, decide, up
on their affiliation after a more or
less thorough study of party policy
. and party methoils. Probably a
•large number find their affiliation in
it manner determined for them by
the politioiriiias of those with whom
they are associate. • But every in
telligent young mairwill noi,benitale
to admit that . one-who can give no
--- better reason for his affiliation than
-hereditary bias, has not much to be
proud of in 'his; political manhood.
1t ,is not enough that a young ma*
• explains his vote by referring to the
fa ithi of his father and his grandfather.

Which a .young man goes about the

' moree - than that. The political affilia

prlifound convictions. Convictions
do , not descend from father to son.
They ate not heieditary. Men should
b 3 Republicans or Democrats from
'c9nvfictions. Whatever a man may
be, if he be anything from conviction
be is entitled to the respect of his
fellow-men. But whoever is one
thing or another because his father
or grandfather was that thing, cuts a
_ very sorry figure among thoughtful
men. - For this reason yOung men
should reflect- deeply upon the.histo
ry and:policy of parties.- We can
think of no better mode of making
Republicans of yonug -men. For
' when a Man begins to read - the histo

Nevor before had the world see the
boasted champions of a pure,thimoc

absolute and inalienable eommixity

such .a party. •
But. when the student of history
turns to the record of the Republican
party .he learns that that party arose
to champion universal freedom. It
had its origin in a quickeningOf pub•

free homes, free speech, free press,
and free men everywhere. It had
laid - upon its young shoulders the

men. It found a nation. despoiled,

and secured it by a wise policy of

GOVESNoR Horr has vetoed the
Philadelphia street-eleaallg bill on
the ground that the present system
is satisfactory in its operation, more
economical and effective than any
earlier system . and ought not to be
cast aside—certainly not until a new
system is prattled that would re
quire the same care which it exerts
to be taken .by the Councils to have
the work of cleaning the streets per
formed most thoroughly and with
theleast expense to the citiaens. The
Governor has also vetoed-the act.to
secure to - operatives and laborers en
gaged in and about coal-mines and
manufactories. of iron and steel the
payment of their wages at regular
intervals and in- lawful artaney of the
United States, otherwise known as
the act abolishing the, store-order
system, because it " interferes with
the free employment of capital, arbi
trarily controls _ trade, substitutes
legislation for the laws of supply and
demand, and is the beginning of a
system of paternal government at
variance with our
* political institu
tions, which always pioved 'when
tried injurious alike to the employed
as well as the employer." The Gov
ernor has disposed of all bills before
him except that increasing the juris
diction of justices of the peace to
$3OO and that tnmsferring-ihe levy
ing and collection of school taxes
from the Pittsburgh Central Board
of 'Education to the Councils. The
bill making aneppropriation of $144,-
000 to the
.Philtelelphis Deaf and
Dumb Institution has failed to reach
the Governor end is the third which
has fared the same way. In each
case they were retained in the Senate
transcrihing room.
Tnn murderer of Mrs. Hutt, has
been arrested in Boston. He is a
mulatto named Gruen:vs Cox. He
confesses to the robbery having
entered the , house through a ' base
ment window, but alleges that belled
no intention to commit murder. Ma
arrest is a relief to the hist:rand of
the murdered woman, as the chain of
circumstantial evidence against him
was almost sufficient to;har ensured
his conviction. In these days when
wife-murderers are so common,; it
was but natural that suspicionshould
attach to Dr. Hum., husband of the
deceased; therefore, \the capture , of
the murderer is a • doiMe. Cause for
congratulation. It not only relieves
Dr. Hcm. from suspicion, but un
ravels all the dark mystery that sur
rounded the case, and will result in
bringing the criminal to well-merited
punishment.
It is amusing now to recall the;
many diverse theories advanced
some of the leading detectives, as WI
the murderer and the method by
which the grime was perpetrated
The story of the prisoner, it it can
be relied upon, and f there does not
appear to be any ground fOr doubt
ing its correctness, completely over
turns all the theories of these ex
perts in unravelling the crime, and
had it not been for the bungling man
ner in which the murderer sought to
realize upon his plunder, and; the
shrewdness of a wide-awake reporter,
the probabilities are that the murder
of Mrs. Mum.; like that of Mr. Roo
zits, Dr. .11uanm.i., the Pretty Cigar
Girl, at 4 gr. NATHAN% Would have
remained a mystery forever.
Tun , Supreme Court again con
firmed the judgment of.the Columbia
county courts in the - Si - atter of the
Williamsport bonds.. The city over
issued bonds and refused to pay the
interest. The case was decided
against them in Columbia county
and then taken to the Supreme Court,
which latter affirmed the decision', of
the lower court. The Williainsport
authorities again refused to pay, and
again were put through the same le
garprocess. The appeal from Judge
Ermstr.'s decisions was only for the
purpose of delay, and the payment
of the amounts due cannot be 'much
longer postponed, as the Supreme
Court administers a deserved rebuke
of this attempt at , semi•repudiation,
and warns the authorities to take
steps to pay the legal obligations of
the Hmunc-riddert city.

ON Monday, after the Senate had
refused to pass thebill appropriating
$600,000 to defray the expenses of
executing the laws of the United
States, Senator EATON boastirigly
exclaimed : "The Senators now un
derstand, the President now under
star: is, the country now understands,
where the Democratic party etude.'"
Never were truer words spoken. The
Senators, the President and the coun
try do understand precisely the post
tion of the Democratic party as rep
resented by the majority in Congress.
It was highly fitting that atter . Atoll
should hive been so conspicuously
called to the attitude of the Democ
racy, just at that time, when a parti
san majority had only a moment be
fore retuned to vote an appropriation
needed to execute the laws of the na
tion.. Mr. EATON need not have had
any fears that there weild be a mis
take made as to the true " position"
of his party.

has given abundant preof , that. he is
not that kind of 'a man, so.he has
sent it back unapproved, reiterating
those objections which have already

is brief but cogent. Aiithe political

identical with those which led to the
rejection of the , Judicial Expenses
bid in its c•riginal form, there are no
new arguments to be advanced. In

forward have not been answered, and
cannot fairly be met, to present

Tan report of the American Iron
and Steel Association — ahows that
there has been a gradual increase in
the manufacture , of pig iron is the
United States since 1876. Last year
it was' 2,577,361 tons of 9,000 pounds
against 2,314,585 in 1877, 2,093,236
in 1876, and 2,666,581 in-11475. The
price per ton has fallen•from ss3:e7f
.in 1872 to $16.50 in November, 1878,
but since then there has been a slight
advance. Of the 2,577,361 time made
in 1878, 1,092,870 were made with
anthracite coal,, 1,191,092 - with bitu•
minous and 293,399 with charcoal.
Less than fifty years ago all the pig
iron produced iv this country was
made with charcoal.

Brutal illuriSer at-Newark Valley.
On Wednesday night at about 10
o'clock a negro named Daniel Searle,
a laborer in the saw mill of Sidney
Belcher, one mile and
,a halt below
the village of Newark Valley, went
to the 'residence of Mr, Eldridge
Rewey, about one mile north of the
village, - and.asked the loan of - some
money. Mr. Rewey was sitting by a
table, reading a newspaper by the
light of a tallow candle. He was ' a
bachelor, nearly 70 years old, and
has lived by himself since the death
- of his sister, some twenty years ago.
He was also a very eccentric sort of
a man, mingling but little with his'
neighbors. No man could say aught
against him and none knew much
about his business, but supposed him
to have money as he was industrious
and exceedingly economical. 4 . -
When Dan asked for money, ac
cording to his'confession after arrest,
Mr. Rewey said he had none to lend,
when Dan told him. he would have
some anyhow. , At this the old man
arose from the table with his paper
in one hand and the candle in the
other, when Dan rushed at him, strik-.
lug him a stunning blow on the head,
with a boot-jack which staggered
the old man. Then the negro drew a
razor from his pocket and struck his
victim across the throat the first
time cutting a fearful gash and break
ing the razor. lie then began to'
search for money, but, hearing the
man he supposed he had killed mov
ing; he returned, and taking Rewey's
knife from his pocket, began again
his - horrid work of butchery. He
cut his victim's throat 'again and
again, and lett the 'knife - laying on
his breast. de was now dead. The
negro got about $3OO in money.
On Thursday, a colored man nam
ed Coleman told that Dan Searles had
come to his house at midnight, called
him up and told him what he had
done, giving him $lOO and his wife slo_
to clean the blood from his clothes,
and say nothing aborit the affair.
-- Searles was at once arrested and
confessed.-, He says the old man beg
ged for his life while he was coMmit,
