The Sober Second Thought.
Amid the clashing of nrmed forces,
or the giant rumblings of a mighty
storm the mind of man becomes con
fused, and his actions the Impulse of
the moment for which he Is not to be
censured, for his pulse runs high and
his blood Is at fever heat. After the
battle, and after the storm, comes in
the stillness of the night, the cooling
offofthe blood's fiery tempest, and
the return of the silent, sober second
thought, when seriousness and clear
headed resolution takes the place ofex
citenientand hasty action. The nomina
tion of Hancock by the Democrats nt
Cincinnati M as the signal for an out
burst of enthusiasm that like a
mighty windswept the country from
thepinetops of Maine to the Golden
Gate. Nodoubt had the election for
President beeu held the next day after
Hancock's nomination he would have
been elected by an unprecedented ma
jority. The just praise that belonged
to this valiant Union general, met a
responsive chord in the hearts of all
loyal men, overreaching all considera
tion of the danger the country was plac
ed in by the party to whom he owed hi
nomination. The unbounded enthus
iasm soon spent its force, when men,
reasoning in the morning of a sober
second thought came to talk one with
another a? to the record of the party
who backed the man they but yester
day had almost persuaded themselves
was far above other men. The logical
consequence was the determination
that although the man was all right,
there was back of all a principle that
was above man-worship. The party
Who had placed the brakes on pro
gress; the party of States Rights and
human slavery was not so soon to be
trusted with the fabric of our National
greatness which they had conspired so
recently to destroy. Then the thought
of the eternal fitness of things being
turned upside down, when a Union
general ultemps to lead to victory the
columns of unrepentant rebels, which
lie had so lately shattered, deepened
and fixed the determination arrived at
by the sober second thought canvass.
The boast of a solid South should awa
ken the men of the North to a sense
of the great clanger there is in voting
for the party fostering the idea. If
a solid South is right, let us offset the
shot-gun which makes such heresy
possibly, by confronting It with a
solid North. Look well before you
leap, remembering that no blind en
thusiasm for Hancock should lead us
to vote for a party whose record is bad
and only bad. A party whose south
ern wing is to-day with shot-guns in
hand making a solid South where the
rights of white and black Republicans
are tramped in the dust. They have
"not forgotten the time when they sold
the slave in the market place, nor has
the bitterness against the North faded
from their memory. Seeking to gain
by a shot-gun policy in the South, and
the aid of those they are pleased to
term the dough-faced Democracy of
the North, an eud which treason and
open, rebellion failed Jo give them.
Pity Hancock for the company lie
is in but let the sober second thought
prevail, unto the end that the Demo
cracy shall not succeed.
General Grant, commander-in-chief
of the Roys in Rlue, has directed
by telegraph from Colorado that the
oganizalion shall be perfected in each
State to promote the election of Gar
field and Arthur. In a telegram to
Col. Drake DeKay, Geueral Grant
says that in his opinion the best in
terest of the whole county, North and
South, demand the success of the
ticket headed by Garfield and Arth ur.
This don't look much like General
Grant's beingslow to support the Re
publican nominees. He never surren
ders. New York Times: "The annual
appropriations made by Democratic
Congresses for the current fiscal year
and the two years preceding aggre
gate $486,000,000, beiug au average of
1163,000,000 a year. The same appro
priations made by Republican Con
gresses for the fiscal year ending June
80,1873, 1874 and 1875 aggregate $124,
000.000, oran average of $141,000,000 a
year. It Is true that the appropria
tions for 1879 were abnormally large,
In consequence of the refusal of a
Democratic House to provide for the
support of the army in the appropria
tions of the year preceeding. Rut it is
also true that the pretense of Demo
cratic economy lias no better basis than
this, that a deficiency was created in
one year to be supplied the next. Such
economy as the Democrats have ex
ercised has been directed to the cut
ting down of the appropriations for
coast defenses and similar purposes,
while all that has been thus saved,
with a great deal more besides, has
been thrown away in the 'omnibus'
river and harbor grab, which has
averted nine million a year under
Democratic lofi'rlutioiu"

Fiohtino for What Lee Fought
For.
From Wmlc Hampton's Speech nt Htaunton,
Consider what Lee and Jackson
would do were they alive. These are
the same principles for which they
fought for four years. Remember the
men who poured forth their life blood
on Virginia soil, and do not abandon
them now. Remember that upon
your vote dedends the success of the

Notiiern Mux Mi-sT Take Back
Seats.
From the Mi-malils AviUnnche.
We must have but one party, and
that the Democratic party. White
men who dare to avow themselves
here as Republicans should be
promptly branded as the bitter and
malignant enemies of the South. The
name of every Northern . man who
presumes in this community to a-spire
to office upon Republican votes should
be saturated with stench. We can
spare all such, and would caution
such to keep away. We must put an
end forever to this shameless eUron
ter of Northern men and Republicans
aspiring to office in the South. They
must keep back seats, and very quiet
ones, or get out.

and llouudered deeper and deeper
into the mire, until lie landed hard
and fast into the Republican slough.
And what has he gained? Scorn,
ostracism, odium, iil-will, worse than
all, the contempt of the men who
stood by him under the shower of
death and destruction. He forfeited
the opinion of all honest men for the
sake of an office, and he began by be
ing an Independent.
The Confederacy Stile Exists,
From speech of Democratic Orator In Ala
bama. "The Confederacy still exists, my
friends, and Jed" Davis, the best friend
we ever had, is yet our President and
devoted to our interests, and if Han
cock is elected, and we have no doubt
he will be, you will be paid for all the
property you have lost throu gh Radi
cal rule, and you must stand by the
great Democratic Party, for a solid
South will now give us entire control
of the General Government and we
can redress all our wrongs."
Wilkcs-barre Tunas: The action
of the Republican State convention of
Connecticut is another surprise to the
Democrats They counted on wit
nessing a demoralizing contest over
the nomination of Governor. Gov
ernor Andrews' friends, it was as
serted, would insist upon his nomina
tion lor another term, while a large
number of Republicans uiged that he
nan lost much or nis former nonular-
ity, and risks would be incurred in
placing him again upon the ticket.
As soon as the true condition of af
fairs became known to Governor
Andrews, he declared his desire to
withdraw from ilie contest and do
what lie could to nominate the
strongest man. All factions were at
once harmonized, and Hon. HobartB.
Bigelow was made the candidate for
Governor, practically by acclamation.
His only competitor for the nomina
tion, Hon. W. II. Bulkley, was then
nominated by acclamation for Lieutenant-Governor.
Mr. Bigelow is one
of the great manufacturers of Connec
ticut, and his personal popularity may
be judged by the fact that he was
elected Mayor of the Democratic city
of New Haven a year ago by three
thousand majority. Mr. Bulkley is
the leading merchant of Hartford.and
is alsc a man of great popularity.
These nominations practically settle
the election in Connecticut, and the
Democrats realize the fact. All ele
ments of the Republican party are
thoroughly harmonized, the best and
most available man has been nomin
ated for every olllee, and the masses
will do the rest of the work. Connec
ticut can now be taken out of the
column of Doubtful States, all owing
fo the fact that the Republicans have
exercised common sense, unelfishness
and true devotion to the party.
Hon. John Cessna was in Wash
ington on Saturday, and confldentally
expressed the opinion that the Repub
licans will carry Pennsylvania by 00,
000 majority, Mr. Cessna says that
in nearly every district from which
he has heard from forty to fifty Dem
ocratic soldiers have joined the
Ueyublican clubs.
The Contest In Indiana.
(Philadelphia Tress.
Three things are plain about Indi
ana: First, that the Republicans have
a tu 1 r eliance ol carrying the Slate;
second, that they rue milking n mis
take In putting forth too strong and
positive claims; third, that the great
need Is thorough, systematic efficient
organization.
The October election In Indiana
this year is of the hiirhest importance.
Ohio will unquestionable go Republi
can. If Indiana should roll up a ma
jority on the same side It would im
mediately decide the Presidential con
test. The current of popular feelings
inns indicated would lie irresistible,
and would sweep every Northern
State, if, on the other hand, Indiana
should go Democratic it would still
leave the buttle to be fought out in
November. The loss of the State to
the Republicans would by no means
he fatal to their prospect. They can
achieve success without it, and have
not counted on it in their calculations
oi victory. Tiie citato lias given a
majority against the Republicans for
years, mid It it should he won now it
would be a gain. Indiana Democratic
in October would menu a close but
still hopeful fight; Indiana Republi
can would mean an overwhelming
triumph.
The Republicans of the Stale nnd
intelligent observers outside are quiet
confident of a Republican success in
October. And they give very cogent
reasons for their faith. The Demo
cratic distraction, the conflict between
Landers and English, the unpopu
larity of the Democratic candidate for
Vice President in his own home, the
popular revulsion at the scandalous
and partisan Democratic overthrow of
the reform Constitutional amendments
the unity and vi-ror of the Republi
cans, all warrant the strong hopes of a
conclusive victory. And yet it is not
wise policy to make the claim in too
postive terms or to raise public expec
tations so high that it may possibly lie
disappointed. The more discreet
course is to work very hard and boast
very little. We believe there are ex
cellent reasons for anticipating a
Republican triumph; but it is more
prudent to treat the State as doubt
nil. There is no more gallant and sturdy
band of Republicans anywhere than
the able and chivalrous group of lead
crs in Indiana. The ringing Ben.
Harrison, the silver-tongued Thomp
son, the upright Judge Porter, bluii'
Colonel Holloway, hearty Will Cuni-
uaeK, the untiring New, Martindale
and Robinson all are manly, earnest
sound-hearted men. Year alter year
they have made u plucky light against
krrge odds. We have a very sincere
appreciation of their political talent
and their Republican spirit and en
ergy; and they will not lake it amiss
lo lweive the friendly suggestion that
the work to which they should es
pecially address themselves is that of
thorough and comprehensivo organ
ization. They conducted what was in
some respects a splendid canvass in
l:J7'i. They held meetings in every
school-hone and cross roads. They
brought the jiioM distinguished ora
tors of the Nation to their chief plat
forms. They made the State fairiy
blaze witii their grand demonstration's
and glowing culiiUMusni. And yet
w hen the votes came to tie counted ihe
Republicans were in a minority,
chieily bet ause, with ail the glare oi
the campaign, there had hcen alack of
that complete organization which
reaelie3 into every district and knows
e very vote.
We recognize the great difficulty
under which tiny labored then, and
we know, too, that now their organ
ization is better advanced at this com
paratively early stage of the canvass
than it was in LsTii a week before the
election. They understand where the
weakness was then, and are guarding
against a repetition of the same error.
But this i? the one point upon which
there should be- iteration and reitera
tion. The Republicans of the whole
country are looking at Indiana, and
there is every assurance that the
stalwarts of that State will spare no
elibrt.
The Tanning Interests of Northwestern
Pennsylvania.
From llraillbrc Star.
The largest hemlock tanning in the
world is now done between Sterling
Run and Warren, Pa., along the line
of the Philadelphia and Erie railroad.
The district includes thirteen tanner
ies in 'anieron, Elk, McKcan, For
est and Warren counties. Large
tracts of land in these counties are
covered with a dense growth of hem
locks. Little clearings are made in
the wilderness, a tannery is erected on
some splended trout stream and an
unpainted village springs up within a
few months.
The thirteen tanneries have facil
ities for tanning 77o, Oiiu hides a year.
This would produce l,5"tl. 000 sides of
sole leather, averaging 17 pounds to
the side, and aggregating 2K,3.jO,ooo
pounds of leather a year. At a fair
average the hides weigh 21 pounds
apiece, so that the 770,0uo go to the tan
neries with nn aggregate of li,27o,000
pounds, ami emerge in the shape of
sole leather weighing :2yioii,000
pounds. Tli is gain of 10,i)7-,0u0 is
made in the face of fleshing, hair
scraping and trimming. It is made
by the absorption of the tanning
leached from ground hemlock bark.
These tanneries almost exclusively
use South American dry hides, worth
on an average :.,.'t cents a pound. The
775,OO0hi therefore cost ji3,742,,JoO.The
leather averages '2o cents u pound, and
the bides that cost S.!. 742, li-30 turn out
leather that sells for $il,",87,oOO, the
gain in value being ?214o,i:U. All
this, however, is not net profit. It re
presents the labor of nearly 1,500 men
at an average of $1,25 a day for 312
days a year, and the value of 155, Oon
cords or 310,1100,000 pound of hemlock
bark, worth from $1 to4,50 a cord de
livered. The aggregate of the cost of labor is
$585,000, and that of the cost of the
bark 8058,750, a total of $1,213,750.
This leaves for the tanners $1,5111,500,
out of which collie's taxes, cost of acids
wear and tear of macTiiiicry, fuel,
lights, insurance and other incidental
expenses, leaving a fair profit at the
bottom. The bark runs 2,2(H pounds
to the cord, and a cord will tan about
ten sides of leather.

Mr. English as a Financier.
(I'hlUulelphla Tress.)
The Indiana Democrat' find It very
hard to get up much enthusiasm over
their National ticket. Hancock they
might stand, although as a Union
soldier he represents cvervthlivr that
Is most hateful to them' politically.
The Indiana enppcrhcadism wiis
always of the most malignant type,
yet It can probably swallow Hancock
as tt did McCleliaii. Thev are will
lug to sacrifice t heir feci'iug on ac
count of the better prospect of getting
into power.
Mr. English, however, Is a dose
they demure to. Hendricks was their
Idol; McDonald they would have
been satisfied with, but to have what
they term tills Indianapolis Shylock
palmed otf on them for the professed
purpose of "strengthening" the party
in Indiana they find very exasperat
ing indeed. A correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial has been at
the pains to Investigate the- record of
English in the Sheriff's office of In
diaiiapolis. The list of his I'orclosures
tax-deeds and sheriff's deeds occupies
two columns In fine type. The fore

CHILLED STEEL PLOW
Its weight will be eighteen pounds less than
our present styles.
A first-class Steel Plow, mado In tho or
dinary way, full rigged, retails for twenty-two
dollars. Inferior Steel Plows retail from six
teen to nineteen dollars.
Tho price of our new Plow will bo but.
Seventeen Dollars, and It will be tho
cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold.
Its mold board will outwear three of tho
very best kinds of the ordinary steel mold
boards.
It will scour In soils where all steel plows
and aU other plows have hitherto proved a
failure.
With tills Plow will be introduced a corru
gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on which
we have also obtained a Patent, and which is
also a great Improvement, both as regards
strength and wear.
The Jointer can be shitted so as to toko
more or less land, and also more or less plteh,
nnd It can always be kept on a Hue with tho
Plow.
The wheel will run under tho beam or ono
Bide of it as desired, nnd always kept In line.
The beam Is adjustable for Spring or Fall
riowlng, and also for two or lureo horses.
The handles can be adjusted to accommo
date a man or boy, on the sume Plow.
It Is a pertect Plow.
yvooden beams are going out of use becauso
they shrink, swell and warp, and never run
two seasous alike.
Iron beams are too heavy.
Slalleable beams become demoralized and
bend, which Is much worse than to break.
A Steel beam is thenecessity of the day. It
Is three times as strong and very much lighter
than any other style.
yviien we say a Mold board Is chilled, tho
farmers know it is so.
yve do not palm on on them a composition
ol various metals nnd cull it chilled metal.
Wc want agents for this new Plow in every
town In this Slate.
yve can give but a very small discount to
t'uem, but wo will pay the ltailroad Freight.
yve propose to place this Plow In the hands
of Farmers as near the cost of mauulacturo
ns possible.
It will be tho lest Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
It shall nlso be the chrapett.
Persons therefore who are not willing to act
ns agents on the principle that "a nimble six
pence Is better than a slow shilling," need not
apply for an agency.
No Plows on commission. All sales absolute.
KB" This U the only steel Chilled Plow in
the World.
steel costs several Umes more than Iron.
But this Plow, full rigged, by giving small
discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars.
Compare this price with thRt of any Iron Plow
ever made.
It is cheaper than any other Plow now
mado would bo at five dollars and a half.
yvhero there nro no agents we will, on re
ceipt of Seventeen Dollars, send a Plowtonny
llallroaU station in tho State and pay tho
freight Address,
