TEE New York Times says
The cost to the journals which consti

for news collected by the Association
during 1888, and. paid by them, after de
ducting all that had been paid by other
journals throughout the country, as shown
by their records, was $BBO 11 'par week

It has been the impression, among the
Western. Press, that„the New York Asso

Westein and other Associatioas, more
than its original cost to themselves. Nor
does the paragraph above quoted refute
that opinion, as cleszly as desirable.

MORE 'raetc seven hundred young
ladies put in applications for "light and
honorable" employment in Chicago at
few days ago, in response to an advertise=
ment sror ballet girls to produce one of
the sensational spectacular dramas of the
day. These seven hundred were willing,
nay anxious, to
..appear before crowded
audiences, six nights in the week, in cos-
tume closely resembling that worn by
Mother'Eve, before she had raised much
of a family. For this delicate and refined.
labor, these girls expected several shil
lings per night, or perhaps a trifle more,
if their terpsichorean talents were well
developed and their pedal extremities
were pleasing to lecherous eyes. Such
an exhibition of female loosnees of char
acter is not alone peculiar to wicked Chi
cago. Here in moral Pittsburgh, when
ballet girls are wanted to figure as the
"Forty Thieves," the managers of our
theatres have tq
. close the doors against
the swarm of comely women who
hive ambition to fill, the bill. There is
something wrong in all this. Womanly
-virtue and modesty must be largely on
the decline, else why do so many turn
from honest and glorifying domestic work
as a thing to be'shunned, and seek hu
miliating places on the stage in capacities
where it is impossible to retain the purity
of their hearts, even it they had such an
article before applying for permission to
strip .off and go nude before a sensuous
public. There is a large field for educa
tional reform in this direction, and the
sooner inaugurated the better for general
society. Let ottr girls be educated up to
the belief that .they are to be the
mothers of 'a race to come; that their
stocks of ovomanly virtue and modesty are
their most precious possesaions, and that
there is no accowlishment greater than
that of being able to discharge household
duties, pr of being capable of earning
money in a legitimate way in any of the
industrial callings.'
THE APPROACHING CONVENTION.
The Republican State Convention will
meet at Philadelphia, on Wednesday of
next week, to nominate candidates for.
Governor and Judge of the
_Suprenie
Court, and, in accordance with usage
will give exoression,in the form of resolu
tions, to the views and organization on
topics of current political interest.
It seems clear that a majority of all the
delegates are instructed to re-nominate for
Governor the present incumbent, General
jorur W. GEARY. But there are reports,
entitled to more or less reliance, which
Predict his speedy transfer either to a
foreign mission or to a seat in President
Gs-iirT's Cabinet. Upon the probabili
ties of this transfer, we do not care to
speculate, because the fact is liable to
speedy-disclosure.
Provided Governor GEARY should ac
cept a position under the National Gov_
ernment, the indications are that the
choice of the Convention, for a candidate
to succeed him in the administration of
the affairs of this Commonwealth, will
fall between General Joall F. Mawr
nerirr, of Bucks county. and Hon. W.
W. KETCHIIM, of Luzerne county. Gen
eral HABTRANYT has an excellent war
repprd behind him, and in civil trust has
been mrked by strong . good sease and
unquestionable probity. Mr: Krrcirum
is a man of more than ordinary capacity
and experience, and has passed through
the ordeal of both branches of the Legis
lature with high reputation. , There is no
smell of dishonesty upon his garmerits.
To the nomination of the Hon, H. W.
WILLIAMS for Judge of the Supreme
Court, there is no opposition. His con
duct on the bench has fully sustained, if
not largely augmented the opinion of his
talent and integrity which preceded him.
Probably an attempt will be made to
have the Convention make an issue of
the Alabama claims, on the basis of Mr.
SUMNSII'S speech, or some other extreme
presentation of the cue. We trust the
Convention will not listen to this sugges
tion, no matter from what quarter it may
come. Months ago, we assured our read
era that a plan lied been concerted to
place the dequind for indemnity on snch
grounds as necessarily to lead to war
with Great Britain. What we foresaw,
has since been so plainly developed , that
all must see it. There may be not a little
of partizan charlatanism mixed up in the
Proposed movement. If so, We remark
that this is much too serious a question to
be dealt with after that manner. Repub
licans throughout the whole land have a
just confidence in the competency of the
national government to manage this
delicate question in a manner to vindi
cate the rightaof aggrieved citizens, and,
it the same time, to maintain the public
honor. When this confidence shall be
disappointed—which it is not likely to
be—it will be time enough to drag this
issue into State politics.
WHICH SHALL BE THE POLICY t
From London, comes a rumor of the
pprpprt of the American Minister's B re t
official communication to the English
government. He makes a ornial an
nouncement of the rejection of the Ala
bama treat] by the : Senate; innt.t*
government concurs heartily in that dis
position, of the matter. Expressing our
AITTSBURGH GAZEitE
earnest desire for. the adjustment of all
differences between the two nations, he
invite's further overtures from England,
for which our liberal consideration is
pledged. It is worthy of note that Mr.
MOTLEY specifically recognizes the exist-
ence of individual claims for damages on
both sides. This does not concede the
•justice' of those claims, but simply regards
the fact of their existence.
In the general agreement of this rumor
with the received American understand
ing of the.nature of the instructions given
to our Minister from Washington, we find
reason to consider it reliable, and also to
presume that his first official note to the
English Court simply includes all that: we
have now 'to say touching this question.
it is thus left with England to neglect or to
resume further negotiations at her discre
tion. This position of the affair is quite
in accord with the preTailing judgment
of this country, which would place the
Yespo sibility, for the settlement of the
contr versy, with England, where it
prope ly belongs. i Of course, we all
know that this American judgment
stands squarely upon an equally
general American conviction, that
England cannot afford to leave the
question always open, and that she
shall speedily come, herself, -- to the
same conclusion. Our view of the situa
tion is about, to be put to the test of
events. Unless the English justify our
expectations by originating fresh propo
sitions for a settlement, our people must,
consistently, look upon these Alabama
claims as adjourned to a more convenient
season—and the question as laid aside
accordingly. It seems entirely . safe to
predict that no unseemly haste, to reopen
the negotiations, will be manifested from
the other side.
Upon the case as it is now left, suppos
ing our construction of the situation to be
correct, it is apparent that the Adminis
tration occupies ground with which a
partizan clamor demanding the enforce
ment of these claims, would directly con
flict. The President, advised by his
Cabinet, presents the American policy as
one of masterly inactivity. We have Put
our claims on the record; we protest
that they shall neither be reject
ed nor forgotten ; and We patiently
await such response as England may
see fit to make. Ijow, if Messrs.
Sumner, Butler, Forney A: Co., pro
pose to push things by making a political
issue upon this emit' oversy, and attempt
ing to force the Administration into more
vigorous measures, it will be easy to see
that instead of supporting the President,
the policy of these gentlemen could not
fail to embarrass him exceedingly. Gran
ted that their views are to prevail, Mr.
MOTLEY must again take up the negotia
tions which he has just laid down, and
his country will be again burthened with
the responsibility, of discovering and
presenting a practical mode of settlement,
of, which it has just divested itself.
If Republicans would give a cordial and
intelligent support to the Administration
in this business, we shpuld confine our
selves to the endorsement of its present
position, and be careful to avoid any sug
gestions beyond. The politician who in
trigues to get up a party war-cry on the
Alabama question, as 'the international
diplomacy now stands, is no well-wisher
to President GRANT. .
THE GERMANS AND THE FOURTH
OF JULY.
EDITORS GAZETTE : Allow me to clr
rect an impression, which undoubtedly
was made on the English-speaking Amer
icans, in reading the proceedings of the
Germans on Friday last, respecting the
celebration of the coming Fourth of July.
The reporters of the English papers
said, that the Germans will show their
strength in breaking down the Sunday
law. That is evidently a mistake, as no
such intentloh is nursed ins the heart of
any loyal German. All that the free
thinking Germans want to show. to those
who think that the Sabbath is only for
praying to-forgive the sins which ha,ve
accumulated during tile 'week, is, that the
day, when, ninety-three years ago, the
greatest truth for mankind was proclaimed:
"that all men were born free and hide
pendent" is to be held holy and in re
membrance to child and children's chil
dren, and that on that day the brightest
star has ascenaed on the political Anna
meat. In this view the free-thinking
Germans will always celebrate the all.
coming Fourth of July. A Gzabult.,
As Eastern journal puts a sharp point
for the consideration of those rash politi
cians who propose the Alabama question
for Republican capital. It says:
If the Republicans take up the cry . of
"War with England" as a means of party
success, the Democrats will far outcry
them in -that direction. The Democracy
can not only get up a cry of the loudest
and fiercest kind, but their leaders can
urge, on Irenian raids into Canada as a
way of opening hostilities, and if this be
not enough, they can vote in Congress
for peremptory war. In fact. they can
outdo the Administration Party on ,every
point in this respect, for they are not re
sponsible, like the Administration Party,
for the carrying out of their own pro
gramme.
OF nix new project called the Cincin
nati, Salem and Youngstown Railroad, a
Cincinnati journal says:
This company proposes by the construc
tion of about fifty miles of railroad to se
cure a very direct line from this place to
Erie,• Pa. The route will be' over the
Wilmington d Zanesville.road, thence over
new road to Dresden—over Pittsburgh
and Columbus road to Trenton—thence
new road to New Philadelphia—over
Tuscarawas branch to Bayard•—thence
new road through Salem to Youngstown
—aver Pittsburgh and Erie road to . Erie.
This will makto3 very 'important line tor
Cincinnati; It will cut several, of they
gtand trunk lines In such a way as to
shorten distances to this place'materially.

EDITORS GAZETTE : Having been
spending several days here, attending the
sessions of the Ohio State Missionary So
ciety, I have thought that a word for your
readers would prove acceptable from this
inland metropolis, for such the people re
gard it. "Great expectations" are enter
tained, that even the Smoky City may, at
no very. distant day; be somewhat rivalled
by this inland aspirant. Ye denizens of
smoke look well to your future, else per-
Adventure you may, when too late,
awaken to the fact that your glory, if not
departed, is being gradually eclipsed.
Whilst the good citizens of Alliance are,•
we think, entirely too sanguine in their
expectations of future greatness as a city,
they have whereof to be proud. They
deserve well for their expressed judgment
of what should constitute the foundation
of a city. If they fail to rival the
"Smoky City" • in numbers, manufacto
ries, &c., &c., they certainly bid fair to
equal, if not excel. in the worth of their
citizens, if first class educational institu
tions haVe anything to dO with the char
acter of men. Whilst Alliance may never
boast of material wealth,* public build
ings, works of art, &c., '&c., she. ma •
challenge comparison in her..6hools. Her
educational facilities are certainly fully
equal, if not superior, to older communi
ties. She has a first class Union School,
in which everly child may receive'a colle
giate education. .Here stands Alliance
College, a magnificent structure, the off
spring of the public spirit and
personal energy of a few men among
whom to will was to do, and
almost with the celerity of an Aladdin's
palace was Alliance College builded, and
now stands perfectly equipped for the
Work of education, enrolling during her
first year nearly three hundred pupils. But
Alliance proper is not all of Alliance in
the educational field. A short distance
south lies the quiet and unpretending vil
lage of Mt. Union, in which is another
school, deserving a wider reputation than
it now possesses. Here stands Mt.
Union College, fully panoplied for the
educational work; having ample grounds,
splendid buildings, complete apparatus,
philosophical, chemical, &c.; an eaten=
sive cabinet of curiosities, selected with
great care and taste from nearly
all ages and parts of thb world; a fall
and efficient corps of gentlemanly profes
sors in the various departments; the
whole presided over by the President and
originator of the College, making this one
of themost desirable schools for the edu
cation of our sons and daughters. The
following facts•in reference to the origin
and progress of this school will doubtless
Interest many of your , readers. In the
fall of 1846 a private school was opened
by the present President of the College.
in an upper room of a woolen factory,
and continued for five months. This
school was re-opened the following win-
ter in a room known as the "Peoples'
Meeting House," and continued with
only medium success. The Prin.
clpal. in the - following spring,
returned to college, completed his educe
' tion in 1849, when he returned to Mt.
Union and re-opened his school, which
• finally resulted in the establishment of
what was known as — the Mt. Union Sem
inary-. With no settled plans for the future,
the school was continued from session to
session, and in about four years, good
sets of apparatus for' illustrating the
sciences had been procured, and ini
tial steps taken for the erection of a
school building. In 1851, a commodious
building was completed. A normal de
partment was added to the former sem=
'nary course of instruction, which proved
a success and is still continued. A cata
logue was issued in July. 1851, showing
an attendance of two hundred and eleven
students. The good and learned 8.f.,:
John Barker, late President of Allegheny
College, with prudent foresight, now
urged the adoption of plans for a wider
range of usetulness, and as a result, a reg
ular College was contemplated. A
charter was applied for and ob
tained ' in 1851. The school was
now placed under the con-
trol of the Pittsburgh Conference of the
M. E. Church. In June,- 1858, appeared
the first annual College catalogue, show
ing an attendance of 361 pupils, with
11 professors. Its first commencement
wits held June 16th, 1858, and was large
ly attended. An address was delivered
by Rev. Calvin Kingsley, which awaken
ed a deeper interest in the College and
led to resolves for greater usefulness.
How these resolves were realized the fol
lowing facts, gleaned from 'a pamphlet
published in 1866, will show: Whole
number of students, 4,905; gentlemen,
3,338, ladies,. I,s47—coming from twen
ty-your States; also from Canada, Ireland
and England. Three thousand nine hun
dred and sixty teachers have been sent
out from the College, who have had i
their schools an average enrollment of
47 pupils, do that 186,120 pupils have been
taught by the students. Over 1,000 of
the students, or 39 per cent., served in the
late war—not one in the rebel ranks—
surely a good record for loyalty, 35 per
Cent. engaged permanently in teaching,
28 percent. became miaisters,7 pr. ct. far
mers and 5 pr. ct. physicians. Of lady
pupils 68 per cent. became teachers. The
school has been formally accepted, and
highly approved by a Committee of
Bishops of the M. E. Church, Bishop
Simpson being Chairman, thus making
this one,ot the recognized Colleges of the
Church. Such a school, with such a
record, deserves a wide-spread popularity
and patronage, and the man who under
God conceived, planned arid perfected
such an institution is more than'a hero.
The worthy President and foun
der, Rev. 0. N. Hartshorn, is still
the presiding genius of the Institution,
is
hale and hearty and fully equipped for the .
work of life. Parents seeking a school
for their sons and daughters will find

The Philadelphia Commercial List . thus
treats of the recent monthly report of the
Titusville Herald, which created such
excitement in oil circles several days
ago:
The statement of the Titusville Herald,
which appeared on Monday, announcing
the production for May to average only
10,000 bbls daily, which, whilst 'it was
almost universafly denounced as either a
Oaring error or`something worse, never
theless caused a momentary flutter, and
June oil rose rapidly to 331 cents, but as
quickly fell back to 31 cents. A very
singular feature of the Herald report is
the ingenious sophistry which they for
the first, time inaugurate, of setting aside
alarge part or the production as "unmer
chantable," and not giving it a credit in
the report of the yield. For instance,
they admit that they take no account of
38,000 barrels, which they baptiie as
"unmerchantable;" add this to the pro
ductions, where of course it belongs,
and we have a daily yield of 1;225 bar
rels which these disinterested gentlemen
quietly igrldre. It is but fair to add that
competent judges estimate the daily yield
in this State at about 12,500 barrels. 1.

MESSRS. EDITORS : In looking over
the action of the Allegheny Counci , s on
last Thursday night, published . in 'your
RtTer of Friday, we-find that the ordi
nance for grading and paving Ridge
Avenue was tabled; although 4 had been
'passeda at a previous meeting and referred
Ito the Street Committee. As, that street
is the most important in the city to be
I
, graded and paved, we wish to inquire
why this action has been taken? We
who 'own property and reside on that
street, have earnestly asked Councils to
have it paved. We want to know what
Rutside influence' has been brought to
bear against the object of our petition.
We know no Councilman could vote
against it, except from selfish motives,
outside influence, or both, and we are sat
isfied such influence has been used. It
!is the duty of Councils to pass the ordi
inance for paving this ttreet. Let those
who are opposed get up a remonstrance
and give their reasons why It should not
be done. It is not fair that for the selfish
interests of a few who do not use the
street, we who do, should be compelled
to wade through mud for another year
on a street leading directly into the heart
of the city. Shall outside influence, or
shall Right and Justice prevail ?

Yesterday evening, rabent'Oght o'clock,
an affray of a rather serious natureoc
cur. red on Washington street, near Web
ster avenue, in which all the participants,
two men and a woman, were more or less
injured. According -to the statement of
William McCune, one of the parties en
gaged in the row Mike McGovern was
in the act of beating his wife, whereupon
McCune interfered to save - the woman.
As is customary in such oases husband
and wife united in an attack upon Mc-
Cune and he resisted. Knives were used,
and the result was that McGovern re
ceived a severe cut in the right arta by
which one of the main arteries was sev

cut in the left hand. McCune was arres

the encounter, which accounts, fu a
measure, for the spirited nature of the

COAL IN TUE PACIFIC STATES.—The
Alta California, in a recent issue, from in
formation given by a visitor to the region,
states that the coal deposits of Wyoming
Territory extend for nearly 300 miles
along the Union Pacific Railroad, from
Carbon to Evanstown stations. Six
mines are now open, and the locomotives
are using the coal, which contains, by
analysis, 60 per cent. of carbon, 12 of
water in combination, and 28 of inflam.
mable gases. It is known by the name of
'Anthralignite. The principal mines • are
at Carbon, 650 miles west of Omaha, and
extensive shafts and drifts have been run
since August, 1868. From 250 to 300
miners are at work, earning from $7 to
$l2 a day in currency. Last winter,
coal sold at Omaha for $27.50 a ton, but
the new mines, it is asserted, will reduce
the price to one-half or even one-third•of
that o rate, and will supply way stations
where coal heretofore eould not be -otr
tained. At Black Buttes and Point of
Rocks stations, also, there are extensive
mines. At Point of Rocks, there is a
hill-side drift, with three chutes, of a
capacity to load one hundred cars, or ten
tons each. • -
MAYER' s apparatus for telegraphing in
fac similie is employed in the French tel
egraphie service, the 'direction of which
is confided to the Viscount de Vougy.
The message itself does the duty of the
interpreter, and controls the electrical
power so as to make it perfectly faithful.
The Meyer system is not a copy of the
message sent, but the fac limit's of wri
ting; so that telegraphic despatches pre;
sent, as regards exactitude and authenti
city, all the guaranties now found in pos
tal communications. The Abbe Caselli,
an Italian, has already solved this prob
lem; but experiencebas not been favorable
to his plan. The fac simile of the messa
ges, reproduced by chemical processes,
presented serious imperfections, which
often rendered the deciphering of the
message difficult, giving rise to doubts as
to the authenticity of the writing. M.
Meyer has' avoided these difficulties by
only making use of methanlcal means. )
MAlleye'r's apparatus is at work on the
railway from Paris to Lyons, and the lines
from Paris to Marseilles and from Paris
to Bordeaux will soon be provided with it.
BRADDON, I regret to say, is still
very ill, and unfit, both bodily and men
tally, not only for literary work, but also
for any save medical society. This state
of things was partly brought on by over
work. Those who had her in their toils
kept her perpetually at the , pen. With
an avariciousness which it is surprising
She did not resist, they worried and per
secuted her into constant novel writing,
uhtil she could stand it no longer. If all,
the truth were known about the circum
stances under which her late works were
written the severest critics would pity
her and think more highly of her talent.
