IT WOULD BE ABSURD to affirm that
any great industrial interest of this coun
try was exclusively 'or mainly in the
hands of men of one political party.
But it is a fict that what are embraced in
- the general designation of "great' coal
companies" in Pennsylvania, are very
largely under the management of Demo
crats. This is true as well of the corpo
rations properly belonging in the State
as of
. those introduced from without. It
happens, faither, that a large majority of
the minera throughout the anthracite
counties, are Democrats. There is, con
sequently, no basis for the' imputation
that the existing embroilment.is between
Republican capitalists on the One hand,
and Democratic toilers on the other.
IT Is CERTAIN that the Free Traders,
availing theinselves of the opportunity
afforded by the popular discontent
throughout New .Tersey, , Diew York and
the New
. England States, will make a
most vigorous push upon the reassem
bling of. Congress for the repeal of the
impost duties on coal, iron, stee3, - copper,
salt, and , other articles entering into gen
eral consumption. The abrogation of
the duty on coatis demanded by nearly all
,the Republican journals ` of those com
monwealths, and its repeal will be re
sisted:l3y none; •
West of Pittsburgh not a half dozen
journals of prominence can be named
that advoiath: Protection as a National
Policy. A:fevi think a resort to impost
duties a ready '"and efficient way of
.
raising revenue; , while the larger part
mkt no , opportunity for giving Protec- .
tion a blow. This' tendency has increas
ed since the .discovery in Indiana and
Illinois . of cortaiderable mines of coal of
eicellent quality 'for reducing metals.
TranspOrtatiorrthr a distance of eight or
ten hundred miles from the coast is re
garded as equivalent to very high protec
tive duties. -
In various sections efforts have been
made to create the impression that Penn
sylvania alone Is interested in the mainte
nance of discriminating duties, and that
she has acted most selfishly under the con
tsideration accorded to her peculiar views
and interests. That there is little or no
foundation in fact - for this imputation we
have abundantly shown.'
• What the manufaettuing interests which
are thus assailed will do in the way of ex
planation and defence, remains to be de
veloped. As ys4, the chief parties have
made,no diselOsnies.
TEE INTERNAL REVENUE.
A proposition is mooted, to advance
the tax on whiiliy to $1 per gallon. The
project will have friends when the
public becom es satisfied that the present
rate. only' half^ that amount, is faithfully
collected. Commissioner DELAY() is do.

do wonders, but it is only the hero of
,a

days, but the qualities for which he : was
renowned are not wholly mythical. We

that single department of the public
service, the close of the first year of
this Administration will exhibit results in
themselves quite remarkable enough to
make good last year's pledges of Repub
lican advantage to the national interest.
Every day brings fresh proofs of the
systematic subtlety and success with
which the treasury under the late adtnin \ -,
istration was defrauded on every hand.
It is but a day or two since frauds were.
exposed at Cincinnati, wherein prong:-
neat citizensare implicated to the tune of
hundreds of thoheands of :dollars. The
alleged complicity of certain revenue
officials therein is now under investi
gation. Whether in frauds revealed, in of
ficials exposed, or in the.vast increment of
the revenues swelling into the Treasury
fr?ni. every minute channel which the
law has established, the results of the re
organization of the public service are
Steeply astonishing. Since so much has
been done so well, the Commissioner is
the better qualified to detect and remedy
such evasions of the law as still remain.
The time may come, but it is not yet,
when it will do to talk of an advance in
the rates of taxation upon those articles,
which ought to pay the last mill they can
bee..
As for the income-tax, it is likely to be
re-enacted and continued for a few years
longer, unless the Democratic party shall
find their opposition to it crowned with
success.
THE REPUDIATION MOVEMENT.
Messrs. Pendleton, in Ohio, and John
son, in Tennessee, lead off the latest
Democratic movement for the repudia
tion of public debts. The first propounds
his policy under the flimsy cover of a
proposition to repudiate a portion of our
obligations to the holders of the national
securities. If that be rejected, he com
mits the Democracy to the rejection of
the entire bonded debt. His compatriot
in Tennessee, an equally good Democrat,
more frankly and, courageously avows
himself as squarely in favor of
repudiating the whole froni the
start. These gentlemen mean the
same thing in , the end, but take
different paths to attain it. Since Mr.
Packer is heartily with bothof them upon
other partizan issues, it would be interest
ing to know his real views upon this
question. A man is usually known by
the company he keeps. This is especial
ly true of politicians. At present, the
candidate of the Pennsylvania Democra
cy is known as a "bloated bond-holder."
But he can readily sell out when the
prospect for his million or two
of Five-Twenties begins to look
squally. He was never known to
go back on a party issue, unless when
he bolted from Douglass to support
Breckenridge and Secession, and even
then it is to be presumed. that he regarded
the Kentucky rebel as the best Democratic
representative of the two. So that wasn't
much of a bolt after all. — Since he can
neither write nor talk, Mr. Packer is
purely a negative quantity in the shaping
of Democratic opinions. All. his
life long he has accepted the poli
tics of his more capable leaders,
with an alacrity which 'was never
backward on any occasion. Of course,
he follows ;the lead' f Mr. Pendleton and
other statesmen of his party in this repu.
diation movement. As a shrewd man of
business, he may be relied upon to pro
tect his own individual interests season
ably and effectually. It will be safe,
therefore, to count upon his plompt and
unflinching adherence to the pew Demo
cratic doctrine of repudiation.
OUR NORTHERN NEIGHBOR*4.
Our Canadian neighbors have their
choice. An official promulgation of the
Policy of the English Government was
made, a few weeks since, in a speech
delivered by the Goveinor General, at
Quebec. Separation, either with inde
pendence or-with an eye to an ultimate
fusion with this Republic, or such a recast
of their colonial relations as would retain
but the shadow of an imperial allegiance,
alike without cost and without responti
bility to England—these were the alter
natives which were 'clearly submitted to
the people of the.New - Tiorainion, by the
Queen's representative.
And no* conies Arthur, an English
prince of the blood-royal,- to afford to
the Canadian lieges a suitable occasion
for determining the precise value of their
practical attachment t 3 the crown. It
Was intimated, with a good deal of
authoritative distinctness, whetti two
years since, the Confederation - of these
British - Possessions was .adopted as the
policy of the home government, that a
vice-royal empire on this side of the ocean
was to be completed with the inaugura
tion of some royal prince at its head.
The. Duke of Edinburgh', Alfred p second
son of the English Qu e en, was -desig
nated, in the public expectationi, for the
new dignity, but the scheme, if ever en- .
tertained in official quarters, was suffered
to lapse. It is quite possible that his
younger brother may be the candidate
now designated, in the event of his visit
awakening Wright sort of popular senti
ment. Snobbery is cosmopolitan; the
Canadinrar may not have more of that ob
sequious trait then other people, but it is
a chance if events, fall to show that they
• have the 'ample <- share for which they
have always been credited. They are
very certain to go nearly outside of their
wits, in the actual presence' of a live
prince of the blood among a population

ter's button. Hence, the question now
will be. bow much to discount the swollen
volume of adulation which they will
hasten to lay down at the feet of a prince.
Canada really knows less of a represen-
Wive government than is enjoyed by any
constituency in the English islands, since
her people are wholly under the lead of a
small oligarchy of politicians. It is to
these that we must look for;any decisive
indications of the future status of the
New Dominion. .

DRINKING WATER. '
Th present seems to be a season when
the d nkers of the waters are trout:tied.
In Philadelphia, the drought has been al
most unprecedented, and the most strin
gent regulations have thus far been neces
sary to enable the citizens to receive a
sufficient supply of water for only their
most urgent necessities. One of the
Philadelphia journals has even gone so
far as to state that if the supply of water
in the Schuylkill were not replenished by
last Saturday night, the reservoirs of-the
water-works would be empty, and the
citizens would be obliged to depend on
the long disused pumps and wells, or else
to carry whatever water they might need
up from the Delaware river. A great
city can hardly be visited by any more ,
undesirable calamity than this. Water is,
next to air; our most absolute necessity,
and , deprivation of it is altogether un
bearable. But whether the predicament
in which Philadelphia is placed is much
worse than that in which the people of
one or two otter cities, including our
own, now find themselves,• may reason
ably be doubted.
In Easton, the water has for some time
been most disagreeable to several of the
senses, yet the people were obliged to use
it for all the purposes to which water is
put; as they still are, although their dis
like'of the water has now been increased
to disgust by the recent discovery of sev
eral dead human bodies in their reservoir,
proving that it is used as a capital place
for concealing crimes and as a receptacle
for their victims. Easton people, no
doubt, are very reluctant to use the water
which comes from a reservoir which has
been proved to be so carelessly gaarded,
but when it becomes an absolute question
of water or no water, the disgust mast be
overcome.
We recently announced that several
men had been discovered bathing in one
of the Pittsburgh reservoirs, and it is
very probable that they may also have
been used as receptacles for refuse and
offal, a knowledge of the character of
which would add but little to the pleasure
of the drinkers These possibilities, in
conjunction with the frequent certainty
of the presence of rich indicitions,of pe
troleum, render our Pittsburgh water
anything but a choice and agreeable bev
erage, but we must take what is provided
for us, it seems, although it appears pos
sible that something might be done to
wards future improvement. The action
in this matter, which most readily sug
gests itself, is the roofing over of the
reservoirs. They are not so large as to
render such a proceeding impossible, nor
would the roofs be so expensive as to
make our consumers of water prefer the
present state, of affairs. With tight roofs
and vigilant watchmen, we can see no
.reason why the water should not come
out of the basins as pure, at least, as it'
goes in, and nobody will regard that as
being an impracticable or superlative de
gree of cleanliness.
Tne Popularity of Humboldt.
In tide Volksblatt of Monday we find
the following anecdote, showing how
Alexander Von Humboldt was regarded
by the people of Berlin: A conservative
journal in Berlin having, In speaking 'of
the coming Humboldt centennial, re
marked that among the great masses of the
people he was almost wholly unknown;
the Post related the , following inci
dent of which the writer was a wit
ness: It was towards evening of the 18th
of March, 1848. The streets of Berlin
were in an uproar, =and excited groups
rushed from house to house searching
for and demanding arms. .oae of - these
uproarious mobs came in front of the
house NO. 67 Oranlenburger Strasze, cry
ing for arms; a gigantic laborer seemed to
be most prominent in the party and
forced open the closed doors. Arriving
in the first story, the excited throng was
'met by a white headed ola man,* who
asked what they wanted. "Give us
arms?" was the answer. "rms, I?
my good people where shall I g el them?"
"• Who are you?" demanded the giant?"
"I am a scholar, and am called Alex.
ander. Humboldo , With one accord the
mob moved back, and the giant laborer
dropped his head and said, "excuse us
Your Excellency, that we have disturbed
you." Then turning around he com
manded. "Four men remain and guard
the house of our great fellow-cnizen,
Humboldt. Forwardsl"
Trim Washington correspondent oflthe
New York Herald telegraphs:
It is said that just after the result of the
Virginia election became known, Chief
Justice Chase wrote a confidential letter
to a prominent politician in Tennessee,
an old friend of his, wherein he expressed
much gratification at the defeat of the
bitter enders in . Virginia ' and rejoiced
over the success of the Coneervitives.
The Chief Justice expressed the hdisethat
results similar to that In Virginia would
be produced in Tennessee, Mississippi
and Texas, and strongly hinted that in
his opinion the Republican party had
served its day, and the•time was at hand
when a new Conservative party should
be formed which . would embrace the
Moderate men of all existi g n parties.

"Not a Drop to Danl.',
Water in our reservoirs, says the Phil
adelphia Telegraph of Thursday afternoon,
continues to "grow small and beautifully
less," as will be seen by the followi g
statemant of the amount in each ba in
Thursday morning:

The) level of the water was 1 foot 6

time the foregoing measurements were
made this morning.
Unless we have rain, continues the Tel
egraph, by no possibility can the supply
at Fairmont be kept up till Saturday
evening. , -
Every factory, refinery and other estab
lishment making large use of water has
been notified liy the authorities to desist,
and numbers of them have either entirely
ceased operations, or else make only half
or quarter time.
The pecuniary loss t by the suspension,
both to employers and employed, is enor
mous. It reaches many thousands of
dollars each day.
Housekeepers will have to be careful of
their kitchen boilers, else, in case any di
minution in the supply actually happens,
they will be in imminent danger of ex
plosion.
Many of the factories in the city, and
other establishments that use large quan
tities of water daily, have already com
menced the excavation of wells to furnish
them in case of necessity, and most of the
bld wells covered up for years have had
pumps reinserted into them for the emer
gericy.
The necessity for a sparing use of the
water on the part of each and everyone is
manifest.
New Process for the Manutacttur 01
ELM
An experiment, says the Paris Presse,
of a moat interesting character, and hav
ing the highest interest for the iron in
dustry, has taken place at the Marquise
Steck Works; in presence of two eminent
persons of the Ecole Centrale. The ob
ject of this experiment was to make
steel by one operation, a problem Which
has engaged all metallurgists, and which,
if solved, would cause an industrial rev
olution. M. Aristide Berard, an c•ngi
neer whose name is familiar to all who
have occupied themselves with this ques
tion, proposed to change second•class
metal in course of relining into steel of at
least ordinary quality, by means of a
process alternately oxidizing and reduc
tive. His efforts have been crowned
with success. The product, obtained by
his process, in presence of two compe
tent judges, proved to be steel of good
quality, suitable for all purposes, and
made with the facility necessary to its
application to practical industry. The
operation was effected in a reverbatory
furnace, lasted about an hour and a half,
and was accomplished with as much fa
cility as puddling. In this process, in
stead of acting on 480 pounds of metal
to obtain' iron of number one quality,
from 6.600 to 11,000 pounds of metal is
made by only one operation into steel in
gots ready for theworkshon, and with an
unexpected economy- We will be much
deceived if this invention has not in it
the germ of a complete revolution in
-metallurgy.
Traveling in New York One Hundred
Years Ago. I
The advertisement, of which we here
give a literal copy, is deserving of preser
vation, on accouot of the quaintness of
the inn signs, the Peculiarity of the spell
ing and diction, the "shilling" of the
passengers which it announces, and the
general idea it gives us of the way in
which traveling was performed in Amer
ica at the time it was issued:
Philadelphia STAGE-WAGGON, and New-
York STAGE BOAT performs their
Stages twice a Week.
Joon BUTLER, with his waggon, sets
out on Mondays from his House, at the
Sign of the Death of the Fox, in Straw
berry alley, and drives the same day to
'l'rentort Ferry, when Francis Holman
meets him, and proceeds on Tuesday to
Brunswick, and the passengers and
goods being shifted into the waggoi? of
Isaac Fitzrandolph, he takes them to the
New Blazing of Jacob Fitzrandolph,'s
the same day, where Rubin Fitzrandolph,
with a • boat well suited, will receive
them, and take them to NeW York that
night. John Butler returning to Phila
delphia on Tuesday with the passengers
and goods delivered to him by Francis
Holman, will again set out for Trenton
Ferry on Thursday, and Francis Hol
man, &c., will, carry his passengers and
goods, with the same expedition as above

Warned in a Dream.
About the middle of July a serious ac
cident occurred in Bulmer village to a
picnic party goinglo Castle Howard, who
made the journey in an omnibus. It
seems that the wife of one of the men
hesitated to join. them, and tried to per
suade her huaband not to go, because she
had dreamt a week before that they were,
in an omnibus and were upseto going
i
through a village and greatly Injured, :
fright awakening her. The ma and his
wife, however, did go , but on caching
Bulmer the woman became greatly ex.
cited. Not only, she remarked, was the
omnibus that which she had seen in her
dream, but the village was that in which
the accident she dreamt of happened.
The words were scarcely uttered when
the omnibus was upset, and those on the
outside were thown to the ground with
great violence. One man was rendered
insensible by the omnibus falling upon
him, hnd several sustained ratter serious
injuries. The woman to whom the acci
dent was revealed was badly hurt, but her
husband sustained a dislocation of the
ankle. Every incident of the accident
seems to , have been pictured in the pre
monitory dream.
OFFENBACH wears a "stunning" cos

The correspondent of the Buffalo Cou
rier tells how it is done:
Japonica rises in the morning and dress
es; she eats breakfast, undresses and
dresses; she fakes lunch and undresses;
she tries to s eep, but can't, because of
the unearthly , noises and dresses. She
Roos to the shore and undresses, and re
dresses; she bathes, undresses and dress
es; she goes to her apartment, undresses
and dresses; she eats her dinner, undress
es and dresses; she dances once, retires
and undresses, and goes down upon her
pretty innocent knees, and tries to thank
heaven for her blessings, but in the fink
place she can't tell exactly what they aril'
at present, except that she won't have to
dress in ten hours, and then she is too
weary to pray for her enemies, who
swarm the house, and she goes to sleep,
the little heathen! and I sit up to tell you
all about it, and wonder at her patient
endurance of such things. I don't
dress but three times in a day, and if I
had to do it one time more, I should
manage to give myself to the under tow
and let it carry me any where out ;of the
world of clothes. 1
Remarkable Accident at Malta
On the occasion of a festival at Malta
on the evening of the 24th of July, some
officers at the garrison, thinking to amuse
the crowds who were collected to witness
the illuminations, procured a number of
what they believed to be light balls, with
parachute and rocket boquets. "Upon set
ting one or more of them on fire, by a
match train, however, a loud explosion
took place, and showers of grapeshot
were discharged, to the Imminent peril of
the assembled spectators, who took to
their heels. Fortunately, no one was se
' riously injtired. The officers, at the risk
of their lives, took the rest of the shells
and threw them into the sea, where some
of them exploded with a tremendous noise
and the concussion shook the ground like
an earthquake. The missiles were two
feet in height. and appear to have been
intended for a suspension over a bastion
to throw light on the enemy's move
ments, and it is said that they had been
so long in store that there was no record
of their introduction, and they were con
sidered worthless.
Tun DEEPEST PIT IN ENGLAND,--At
the Rose Bridge Colleries, lace near
Wigan,
Mr. Bingham, manager to John
Grant Morris, Esq., has just proved the
seam of coal known as the Arley, at the
enormous depth of 810 yards. At this
pit, on March 3,1882, the celebrated Wig
an cannel was (in this belt) first found
at a distance of 600 yards from the sur
face; lately the yard mine was found at
678, and now the valuable Arley is struck.
It is stated that this pit is now the deep
est perpendicular shaft in the world, and
that it works the deepest mine yet proved
in Britain. When the "dib hole" at the
bottom is sunk, the total depth will only
be three score yards short of half a mile.

success.
CITY AND SUBURBAN.
Profitable Job.
Yesterday morning, before honest peo
ple were stirring, some thief or thieves
entered the house of Mr. Robert Suffer
ance, Poplar alley, old Eighth ward. and
carried off eighty-three dollars. The
money was in a trunk in a room on the
ground floor, occupied as a bed-room.
The window had been raised during the
night, and through this the operator bad
gained admittance. The trunk was
standing at the head of the bed in which
Mr. Sufferance was sleeping, but' so
noiselessly was the affair conducted that
ho knew nothing of it until the morn
ing, when he arose and found the key
in-' the trunk lock. Twci small boys
named Little were arrested by Alderman
Butler on sipicion, but be' discharged
hem, haling no proof against them.,
Insulted a Lady.
Yesterday afternoon a ruffian. giving
his name as John McShane came out of
a saloon on Wylie-street, and meeting a
lady grossly insulted her. The lady en
deavored to get away from him, when be
_
repeated the insult. She managed to get
past him, and meeting an officer on the
street informed him of the circumstan
ces. The o ffi cer promplly arrested the
blackguard and conducted .him •to the
lock-up. On arriving there the fellow
became boisterous and wanted to fight,
pulled off his coat and swore he could
whip the whole police force, but he did'nt
do it. It required three or four men to
get him in a cell, and it should require
about fifty dollars' tine or slaty days at
the Work House to get him out again.
Railroad Accident.
About six o'clock last evening an acci
dent of a painful character occurred op
the Allegheny Valley Railroad, near the
depot on Pike street. It appears that a
'repair, hand, an employe on the road
whose mule we could not learn, got..
aboard a coal train someAßstance up the
road to ride into the• city. When the
train arrived at the depot he got off at
the rear end of the hind car, and just at.
that moment the train started to back on
a siding, when he was knocked down and
the wheels of the oar passed aver his
right leg, severing it at the knee joint.
The injured man was removed to Mer
cy Hospital. He is a resident of Man
chester.
A Painful Operation.
' Officer William J. Logan, Constable of
the Seventh ward, had a painful surgical
operation performed on Friday last, from
which lie is now confined to his bed and
sudering severely. Mr. Logan was
wounded In the le dulling the late rebel

Larceny of Wearing Apparel
A few days ago a valuable dress was
stolen from the residence of Mr. IW. S.
Marshall, of West Deer township. A
servant girl, who had been employed but
a few days, was suspected , of th theft,
and subsequently facts developed
impli
cating her so strongly that Mr.. Marshall
made information to that effect before
Justice Krane. The girl giving her
name as Louisa Smith was arres
ted yesterday and committed to
jail, after a hearing for trial. She
is said to have stolen a sum of money
from another resident of the township,
but as it was given back, he_ refused to
prosecute. She is the same female who,
some time ago appeared at the Allegheny
Mayor's office and related a strange story
of just arriving from Germany in search
of her sister, and having been robbed of ,
her carpet sack, and a large sum of mon
ey by a man who professed to know
where her sister lived, and started to
show her the way. Her story was ffie•
credited there and it is probable was
founded only on her imagination.
Disorderly
James McAnally was slightly inebria
ted yesterday evening, and, as _many
persons do under such circumstances,
felt both rich and powerful. He was
conduc g himself in a disorderly man
ner,when police officer came to him
and requests him to behave himself and
go home. Th kind advice James took
as an insult and abused the officer,
threatening, to whip him and swearing
that there was not a man on the police
force could arrest him. The' , — o cer
thought different and took James in
charge and conducted him to the lock
up. Here James bccame truly penitent
and plead hard to be released, but Cap.
tain Graham, baving•witnessed so many
cases of that nature, has lost all faith in
such repent mice, and could not be pre
vailed upon to "let up" in James' case,
consequently he was provided with quar
ters in the lock-up.

An accident occurred in Kittanning
yesterday morning, resulting in the death
of William Gaffey, an employe on the
Allegheny Valley Railroad tu; a brake

to hold an inquest on the body, but no
verdict bad been rendered when our in
formant left. Catfey was a resident of

Andrew Jackman, had his leg broken,
yesterday, by falling from a velocipede.
