The Washington Republic eajs : To those who have carefully watched the tendencies of the times, the farmers', mechanics', and laborers' organizations, by whatever name called, are no sur prise. A living nation demands living issues, and as goon as some questions of political importance are settled, new ones will be brought forth for solu tion. The supremacy of tho I'nion over the States being secured be yond present clangers ; the national d6bt having been placed upon a sound basis of prospective liquidation ; the rights of all classes, white, Hack, for eign, or native, having been secured ; foreign complications adjusted or avoid, ed ; and taxation measurably reduced, the ever active American mind is bring. ing forward new topics of discussiou. Happily for our nation and times, these new questions are not likely to precipi. tate the country into violence and com motion, and their vety statement shows that there is no deep cause of com plaint. It is, moreover, gratifying that (he demands are in the direction of progress and reform, so we need have no fear that we shall lose whatever has been gained, co matter bow these new questions are decided. These new issues of the present are based upon economic questions, and re- late chiefly to the obtainment of greater compensation to 'he producing clashes That these topics are difficult of solu tion will appear more clearly as they are more generally and skilfully di cussed, and the mental horizon uf the disputants becomes enlarged. As at present presented, the topics may b stated to mean : The restraint of the monopolizing tendencies of large capi talists and railway and other joint stock corporations ; the providing of more adequate and cheaper channels of transport : the more economic adminis tration of the national, State, and mu nicipal machinery ; a more skilful and honest civil service ; the adjustment of national and State taxes, so that capi tal sball not escape its due share of taxation ; and the assessment of im port duties in a more simple and econ omic manner. We have heard of no other source of complaint or agitation, though our means of information arc as extensive as those uf any other indi vidual or organization. It is not merely the duty, but the anxious desire, of the Republican party to meet these new issues, and to provide affirmatively for their solution. The radical and fundamental difference be. tween the Republican and the Opposi tion party, by whatever name it cheses to call itself, is, that it seeks to provide dequato remedies for all complaints, whilj the other party is simply one of legation, indicting the Administration and the party in power for its imperfec tions, but presenting no consistent and well-considered remedies. Thus far, however, this system of warfare bas sig nally failed, because the people are too intelligent to trust the destiny of the country in the bauds of those who have, in great part, been unreliable in the late war, and who seem not to have the in telligence to perceive suitable remedies for existing ills. We bave ever held that all political parties are simply means to secure cer. tain ends ; and in giving our prefer, ence to one party over the other, we must consider not merely whether one of the existing parties is, by the ele. meats of its constitution, by its past history aud tradition, and its general tendency, willing to take up our cause, bat also whether it has the power to secure it by adequate legislation. It is as mj for a party without power or responsibility to promise all things to all men, as it was for Satan to promise I all the kingdoms of the earth to the Savior ; but before even the nrst step cau be secured, that party must be placed in power, which cannot happen constitutionally under four years.--When, on the other hand, the Republu can party has adopted a principle as a pa-t of its platform, it has the power to execute the popular will at once, and thus the work is speedily accomplished. That there are differences of opinion within the Republican party upon the question of the best means of accom plishing the reforits indicated, we free ly admit, for the Republican party is composed of self-thinking men ; but there is every evidence that both the Administration am! the party at large are desirous to find the best possible solution, and to apply the remedy. Therefore, only those men whose politi cal aspirations bave been thwarted are agitating for a new distribution of of fices, being ready to ride any hobby for the sake of temporary success at the polls. The questions of civil service reform in all its branches, of cheap transporta tion, of internal improvements, and the readjustment of the tariff, will be earn estly and fully discussed, and we invite the co-operation of the best thinkers of our land to aid us in the discussion. If there is any citizen in our broad domain who can contribute any fact, thought, or suggestion, w'jich promises success, we shall consider him a great benefac tor both to the country and to the Re publican party, if he will bring it for ward for examination, discussion, and adoption. There is uo class of men in whose intelligence, judgment, and conscience we place greater trust than the sgricul turalists of the United States ; and we consider it one of the most lavoiable omens of the times that they have ta ken up the discussion of social-economic questions. Of course there is danger that a portion at least of '.he organiza tion may be captured by demagogues, and that through this instrumentality, the Patrons of Husbandry and other organizations may be destroyed. For, if purely political questions shall be made the pivot of discussion and agita tion, there is uo more reason to thiuk that a Democratic farmer will agree with his Republican neighbor inside than outside of tho grange. Therefore their motto should be only "One thing at a time !" aud when the question of cheap transportation, upon which we all agree, shall be disposed of, we shall take up the tariff and the labor ques tions There are, moreover, a large number of household topics of great iuterest and importance which, in the aggregate, will add more to the happiness and com fort of farmers than mere political agi tation, l'ruminent amoug these are : First, What are the most profitable crops to be raised, considering climate and soil ; Second. What machinery is best adapted to the farmer s work 5 Third. How can farm work be ar ranged so that the hours of work can be reduced to ten, without detriment or loss t Fourth. What arrangements or com. binations can be made to secure cheap transportation of our products ? Fifth. How far can Government aid or retard, by legislation, the progress and advancement of agriculture ! Sixth. The discussion of the merits of men whom the political parties may set up for office, so that only honest and capable men be elected Seventh. The union of ail neighbors, without regard to political or other dif ferences, to obtain recognition for tho ability and talent ot farmers in the distribution of high public trusts. Kightb. The construction of bridges and the improvement of local roads. Veiy much cau be done for " cheap transportation" in this direction. Ninth. The procurement of compe. tent and good teachers, and the estab lishment of courses of home lectures to encourage the youth in efforts of self-improvement. The above aro only a few of the many subjects that cau be discussed to advantage in farmers' granges, clubs, lodges, or by what name monthly or weekly neighborhood meetings may be called ; aud if conducted with a loyal desire, not merely to hear one's self talk, or to gain an intellectual triumph, but to ascertain the absolute truth and right in the matter, will be of great benefit to all classes of society. Vt ithout desiring to become the specific "organ" of the farmers or any other organization, we sball endeavor to advance correct views upon the peuding issues, by accepting aid and light from every quarter, so that the Republican party may remain the standard-bearer of progress in the future, as it bas been in the past. Ar there seems to be considerable misunderstanding in regard to the law regulating the "meshes" or spaces in nets, we copy the following paragraph (section 25) of "An act to amend and consolidate the several acts relating to game and game fish," passed at the last session of the Legislature, and approv ed by Governor Hartranft May 1, 1873 : " In an? of the inland waters of this State, inhabited by speckled trout or black bass, and in which the fishing with nets and tho like devices is nut altogether prohibited this Commonwealth, it shall not be lawful or this act, or sonic other acts in force in to catch or kill fish bv means of anv net or device in the nature thereof, the meshes or open spaces in which shall be hit than thrtt tirl et, under a penalty of $25 ; Provided, That nothing herein shall authorize the catching of speckled trout by means of any device save only by hook and line, except for propagation and to stock other waters." Contributions in aid of families rendered homeless by the late fire at Belfast, Me., continue to be received. Portland and Ban- gar have each sent $1000, and Omaha bas on the way six carloads of corn for the sufferers. Persons caught in France with piece of the castings from the Vendome Column are sentenced to a year's imprisonment. The Democratic 8tite Convtntiov met in Wilkesbarre on the 27th nit. It nominated a State tickeL James R. Ludlow, of Philadelphia, Was nomina ted on the second ballot for Supreme Judge, and F. M. Hutchinson, of Alle gheny, on the second bollot for State Treasurer. The convention was thrown into quite a confused state at tbo effort to reach a permanent organization. The cause was the back pay bill. We here publish the proceedings on that point : At four o'clock, the committee being ready to report, the convention was called to order, and the chairman of the committee, Colonel Robert Decbert, read the name of Hon. R. Milton Spear for permantnt chairman. At this point A. H. Glatz, of York, interrupted, and moved the con-concurrence of the convention in the report of the committee so far as read, giving as bis reason, that Mr. Spear bad, as a member of Congress, taken back pay,. The motion and remarks of Mr. Glatx were received with great applause by the convention. Mr. Spear replied, defending bis ac tion as a public man, pleading bis ser vices and fealty to the Democratie party, and asking the convention not to give way to the personal clamc r of the hour. He stated that he had not sought the honor of presiding over the convention, but now that the commit tee bad presented his name, he hoped that be would not be stabbed in the "house of his'friends." Messrs. R. E. Manahan and W. D. Moore supported the motion of Mr Glatz, and denounced the salary grab in severe terms. Messrs. C. V. Carrigan and J. Law. rence Getz spoke in behalf of Spear The latter geutleman upheld the back pay bill, and was hissed from the flooi The sense of the convention was almost unanimous against Spear being the per manent chairman. In a short speech be withdrew his name and moved the name of Dr. Andrew Nebmgcr be sub stitutcd. This was carried. SHORT ITEMS. Money is worth 33 per cent, at the bank in Dallas, Texas. A young lady nt Elyria, Ohio, is learning the carpenter s trade. The delegates to the Republican State Convention of Massachusetts number 1100. A New York stock dealer and broker has fleeced Wall street out of halt a million or more. Fate is nothing, say the Hindoos, but the deeds committed in a prior state of exis tence. An immense meeting of the Patrons of Husbandry and veterans of the Mexican war was held near Brownsville, Mo., on the 27th ult. Nearly 15,000 people, it is said, were present. The watch and other valuables worn by General Cauby at the time of his massacre, and subsequently received from tho Mortocs, have been sent to his widow, in Indian apolis. A Japan publisher has issued a life of George Washington. He is represented in the clothes and fashions of the present day, with a mustache, carrying a cane, and ac companied by a terrier, and gazing at a lady. Twenty two Chinese females, brought by the steamer from Hong Kong, were sold at public auction on the 28th ult., in the Chi nese market, San Francisco. Young girls brought as tiigh as $450, and middle-aged and old women $100 to $200 each. A two-year-old grand-daughter of the Rev. Dr. Hodgson, of Lewisburg, was led by curiosity to drink from a can of naptha which she found id her exploration of the house, and it required all the skill of the family physician to save her life. Harriet Beechcr take the ground that if a proper endowment is made by some rich men to be applied to the education of wo men as good house-keepers, cooks, seam stresses, printers, clerks, fcc, she would guarantee hundreds of scholars. A law of New Hampshire imposes a fine of $2 for every egg destroyed belonging to robins, thrushes, lurks, blue bi-ds, spar rows, martins, woodpeckers, bobolinks, vel- low birds, linnets, fly catchers, warblers, plovers, yellow legs, sand snipe-, par tridges, grouse, quails, and wild pigeons. It is ascertained that John X. Irvine. who has been arrested in San Francisco on his own confession as an accomplice in the murder oi benjamin Nathan, is a well known New lurk thief and burglar. His story is probably false, and invented as a meaus of procuring his free return to that city. 1 hers a than murder was committed July 29, 18.1. The New York police be lieve that Irving was at that time in prison. Indian comm:ssioner Smith returned to Washington on the 27th ult., from an ex tended trip among the Indians of the north, west. He has held councils wilh represen tatives of some thirty.five thousand or for- tv thousand Indians, and reports them gen erally as acsinng peace and w illing to re spect the wishes of the government. In many places the Indians are improving their condition, have schools, farm the lands, live in bouses, like their white neigh bors, and wear civilized clothing. A sailor recently arrived at San Francis co, Cal., declares himself an accomplice or confederate in the murder of Nathan in New York. He refers to places and per sons in New Yorh which, if looked up. should to an extent confirm or refute his statements. The sailor's story is discrcd- ted in New York. Judge Cardozo, who took an active part in endeavoring to find the murderer of Nathan, says there is no doubt that the real murderer is Forrester, who is now in prison, and ir time he will be able to prove Forrester to b guilty of that atrocity. A revolt took place in the Western Pen itentiary at Pittsburg, on Friday, which re sulted in the injury of a keeper and the probable death of a convict. From all that can be learned it appears that some action of Mr Da-V the foren"" f be shoemaking department, relative lo a cnange of bands, gave such dissatisfaction as to cause open rebellion among the men. Hammers and other missiles were hurled at the keepers, four of whom were in the room, and the use of the knives was threatened. Mr. Day emptied his revolver at the ringleaders of the revolt, and shot one man almost through from back to breast. It is believed that the convict who was shot will die. Mr Day, the foreman, was considerably injured, while a number of the convicts are also in jured more or lew. For a time all the keepers were in danger of their lives. There were nearly fifty men engaged in the shop. The saddest incident connected with thd late fire in Belfast, Maine, was the death of Miss Rebecca Prentiss, a well-known and much-respected lady, aged 80, who perish ed in the Frothingham House, where she resided . She was either bewildered by the smoke or fell In a fit. A few charred bones ware found the next morning. The Froth ingham House, the oldest two story frame building there, was built about a century ago. A'ew Advertisements. NEW TAILOR SHOP.
