General Beaver is a man noted for his
truthfulness, and General Beaver says :
have made no pledges to living man."
A petition has been presented to the
House from citizens of New Jersey for the
removal of 'Gen. Kilpatrick's remains to the
United States.
It is stated that the Independents are
tennined to nominate Philip C. Garret,
Chairman of Om Philadelphia. Committee of
One Hundred, foil Governor.
It is reported that the Secretary of the
Interior has decided to adopt the policy of
disarming all Indians in the western states
and territories, subject to the effective con
trol of the government.
• The San Francisco Post declares that
" there is no city or county in California
where the Democrats • have had control
which has not been a striking illustration of
the blighting effects of bad government.
By a vote of one hundred and seventy
two to seven, the House last week passed
the bill which provides for the creation of a
Department of. Agriculture, to be on: a level
with the other administrative departments
which are now reptesented in the Cabinet. •
We regret to see it urged against Tom
Marshall, says the Press, that- he isn't
known outside of his district. Not to know
of Tom Marshall is to argue - oneself un
known. As a lawyer, a Republican and a
slashing stumper, his fame is not confined
to ; Pennsylvania.
The result of negotiations between the
War department and the Mexican authori
ties is understood to be that the Command:,
ers of troops on either side of the border:
line may make mutual arrangements
to permit the crossing of 'the line when ins
'close pursuit of hoStile Indians.
The House committee last week com
pleted the pension appropriation bill. The
amount appropriated is $100,000,000, the
exact sum recommended in the estimates.
The appropriations / for the same purposes
for the current year amounted to $50,006,-
000. ; It is estimated further that an ap
propriation of $20,000,000 will be necessary
to complete the service for that period.
Georgia Judges are polite • and accommo
dating to the last degree. Recently one of
these legal gentlemen sentenced a prisoner
to be hanged on Juno 30, but the culprit,
learning that was the day set apart• for
the hanging of Guiteaw and not wishing to
go off in such detestable company, asked
the Judge to change the day. This was
done by the courteous dispenser of justice,
and now. Convict Doyal will swing one (lay
sooner. - -
The Postmaster-General directs that after
. ,
the 13th of luly all „letters on which full
postage has not been _prepaid, instead of
being forwarded to` the dead letter office,
they shall be held. by, the postmasters',"
letter-carriers or free delivery offices and
the addressed inforMed by poLtal card that
it is only necessary to remit postage due to
receive the, letter. The order makes 111
post-offices centres of distribution for mat
ter now received at one:
It has:lbecome public that the beautiful
floral tributes at the Garfield , ' funeral, in ,
eluding Queen Victoria's wreath, were
taken to Chicago by a swindler, a Woman
who represented herself as an artist in
pressing flowers. After getting possession
of them she organized a .company for the
purpose "di exhibiting them throughout the
country.; Mrs. Garfield" heard of it and
stepped it, and at hi.st after Much trouble
has succeeded in the return of -the flowers.
Lhe Sniethport Miner throws itself thus :
Smethport has a drinking place for every
one hundred inhabitants; and yet the peo
ple are not happy., One church to every
two hundred inhabitants, and yet we are
not - all christians. One doctor to every two
hundred and sixty-five inhabitants, and
still we keep on increasing. One lawyer to
every one hundred inhabitants, and yet
some of our citizens own their own
houses." "Credulous people only will credit
the last •ro~,,;;tion.
, Let the farm'ers take courage and hold up
their htifids. The figures or the Census
Bureau show that the number of persons
ged ngaagriculture in the United States
is 7,699,212, whereas those employed in
_
mechanical, manufacturing and mining
pursuits number only 3,519,547, or less
than one-half as many. They' may also
take-pride in learning that of the $729,000,-
000 worth of goods 'exported last year,,no
less than 'B2 ,per cent. were. produced. by
the:agriculturists. Thine are facts that
ought to make every Granger in the land
feel at least six inches taller.
The most remarkable . discovery of valu
able metals we remember ever having heard
Of has just been mado in Wyoming City. A
mine has been found, the ore from which
yields froui sixty to one hundr4d per cent.
of pure copper, besideS gold and silver in
paying quantities. And here just as the
directors of the mine have gotten the fore
going statement nicely going through the
press, up rises the Lancaster ?Vete Era to
remark: i` We can understand how ore can
yield one hundred per cent. of copper, that
is, be all copper and no ore,, but it bothers
us how a nugget containing one hundred
per cent. of copper can have room for gold
and silver in paying quantities." Some
newspaPers are awfully unkind. r
It happens, says the Ness, that just as
General Beaver is placed before the people
there is a fresh outbreak against the State
College, and the Legislative investigation is
pushed with considerable zeal. Whether
the State College is a good thing ors bad%
thing is the fault of the Commonweciltln
Whether it is well managed or mismanaged
General Beaver is no more responsible than
Any other trustee. It is also right that the
publici sliould be reminded that this inveiti
gatiori was undertaken at the suggestion of
the Board of Trustees, and at the personal
solicitation of General Beaver, that the
people might know what truth, if any,
there is in the charges. General Beaver
has nothing to fear from the investigation.
Of the present attitude of Tennessee Re
publicanism toward , the repudiationists of
that State the Knoxville Chronicle says:—
'The party goes forward and takes back
nothing. It has inscribed State credit on
its banner, and upon that it goes into the
contest for honesty and justice• If it Wins,
it wins gloriously, but if defeated, it .will be
a defeat over which we can ; take more
pride than from victory obtained . through
sacrifice of principle."
At the annual meeting of the Supreme
lodge, Knights of Honor, held'in Baltimore
last week, the ,following officers were
elected for the year ensuing: Supreme

The State Committee of the "Citi
zens Republican Association" have
issued a call for a State Convention to
be held in Philadelphia on the 24th of
this month, for the purpose of- nomi-
nating an Independent Republieen State
ticket, and vie have been appealed to
to join with ',and give'aid , and encour
agement td such a movement. _
THE CIRCUMSTANCES DO . NOT
DEMAIrDIT:
While the REPUBLICAN has plead
earnestly for reforms within the party,
to the end that popular rights should
be respected and protected, we have
never b4en identified with any inde
pendenemovement to run a third party
to divide the Republican forces and
give success to the Democrats. We
have witnessed with' the deepest dis
,leasure, the annual pilgriinage of
delegates, chosen mainly by. commit-
tees to do a / special service to party
dictators, to Harrisburg to• humiliate
themselves before an autocratic politi-
cal power, anxious to be conimand,ed,
Nye have fat that dictation exercised
in such a manner should be rebulled,
and made to know' that an - assumed
mastership over the popular rights 'of
the people, cannot be wielded indepen
dent of them, and have. urged' that it
be stricken down, by the assertion
by delegates entrusted to represent
the people of their delegated represen-
tative functions independent 9f person
al dictation. We have aimed at bring
ng about such a revision ',of' the 'rules
governing- the republican organization
as would secure the fullest and freest
exercise of indiYidual judgment by the
collective membership of the party in
all primary matters. That the psrty
,should be placed upon n basis so just
in respect to the mode of choosing
delegates to our county, state and
National Conventions,, that no mem
ber of the party could l \ fimi reasonable
cause of complaint. We have denoun
ced the practice of attempting, through
our State conventions, to impose uni
rule instructions upon district delegates
to our National conventions as anti;
republican in spirit, and contrary to
every principle of just and fair repre
sentation, subversive of harmony and
hazardous to the success of the Repub
lican party and its iialuablh underlying
prirciples. We"`have co-operated
with others of the Republican party
who were in harmony with us upon the
issues involved in these questions.
We have seen the 'opposition to person
al rule 'gradually Strengt ening, and
, t
popular rule memning a potential
power in the government of the orga
bization. Its crowning success -at
Chicag6; - resulking in the nominaticn of
James A. Garfield,'gytind the assertion
of the right of Congressional districts
to elect, and instruct if the people so
choose, their delegates 'to national
conventions; was the recognition by the
highest law power of the party of a
vital elementary principle of represen
tation in party government. This ad
vance step, while ii.displeased a class
of political. dictators met with a hearty
response from the people. That ques
tion then, was settled for the right,
unless the issue is again forced. If
such should be the case, it will be as
- vigorously met'.
Thee - State Convention which met at
Harrisburg on the - 10th instant, depart
ed from former practices in several
important particulars, by making con
cessions to the popular demand for re
forms in party methods. The adoption
of the tollowing, as a 4 part :of the
declaration of principles hnd rides for
the government of the patty,,.ar4
_
able concessions to popular -.rights:
That we enoquivocally cOndemn the use
of patronage to promote personal political
ends and require . ," that all offices bestowed
within the party shall be . -1, upon the sole
basis of fitness.
Thit the ascertained popular wlll shall be
faithfully carried out in State and National
Conventions and by those holding office by
the favor, of the party.
That we condemn compulsory assessments
for political purposei, and proscription for
failure to respond either to such aniessitients
or to requests for voluntary contributions;
and that any policy of political proscription
is unjust and calculated to disturb party
harmony.
That public office constitutes a high
trust to be win 'nfstered solely for the peo
ple, whose interests rued be paramount to
those of persons and parties, and- that it
should be invariably conducted with the
same efficiency, economy and integrity as
are expected in the execution of private
trusts.
That the State ticket should be such as
by the impartiality of its constitution and
the high character and acknowledged fitness
of its nominees will justly commend itself
to the support of the united Republimin
Part ew Y•
Rired, That we also recommend the
adoption of the following permanent rules
for the holding of State Conventions and
the conduct of. the Party :
1. The delegates to State Conventions
shall be chosen in the manner in which
candidates for the General Assembly are
nominated, except in Senatorial districts
composed of more than one county, in
which conferees for the selection of Senato
rial delegatis shall be chosen in the man
ner afOresaid. • -
2. The State Coniention of the Republi
can party shall be held on the second Wed
nesday. of July, exiklat in the year of the
Presidential election, :when it shall be held
not more than thirty flays previous to, the
day fixed for the National nventiorii'4l4l , l
at least ten days' notice shall be given of
the date of the State-Convention.
3. That we recommend to the county
organizations that in their rules they allow
Ma
the hugest freedom in the general
primaries 'lF'S
potion in the consistent with t he
preservation of the party organization.
Having - been adopted by the highest
law authority of the party in the State,
the people who compose_ the party,
will "think they Mean something, and
will tinsiSt that they be observed for
he government of the party. Here
hen, is a step in advance and , an ad-
vantage gained 'by the advocates of
popular rule. Shall we, step out now,
and for the single purpose of overthrow
ing Cameron rule, which is now per
force events tottering -to its fall;
organize a third party and -run a third
ticket, the,,result of which at most can
only be to give the State and perhaps
Congress :and the Presidency, 4 to the
Democrats ? 'Such a result might
gratify some whose desire to overthrow
the rule of J. D. Cameron is. stronger
than - their Republicanism, but what
would be gained by it ? In our judg
ment, the tendency of popular senti
ment within the party is. a safer re
liance for the "Citizens Republican
Association,•" for the accomplishment
of =their purposes, than anything that
can be gained in that direction by
setting up o f third party and running a
third ticket,
lit cannot be denied that the Re
,
pulolican ticket nominated, is composed
of good men. General' Beaver has
shown that he in the popular favorite
with the people for Governor, by all
the evidence that should be required to
satisfy the most captious. Mr. Davies,
of our own county, if he fulfills the ex
pectations of those who have stood by
him in this section of the State, and
put-it in his power to become the sec
ond candidate upon the ticket, will not
disappoint and dishearten his friends
by administering his official duties in
the interest of men, but will recognize
his obligations to the Republican party.
His capacity. .cannot be doubted: . W.
H. Rawle, of Philadelphia, is an '.eini
nent lawyer and jurist and IL. man of
the highest character. No man in the
State is better fitted than he for the
Supreme Bench. Thonlas ALMarshall
of Allegheny, who is liemiaatea for
Congressman-at. Large, is one of the
brightest , intellects of the State—an
independent of independents, who can
not be riuled, persuaded, or driien to
act against his judgment by any influ
ences. Mr. Greer, so, far as we know
is a competent man for the office of
Secretary of Internal Affairs, for .
which he is nominated.
We believe the entire Republle-an
party, including theH'Citizens Repub
lican Association," and all'whosympa
thise with its objects and aims, and the
whole country will be better off by the
election of the 10th of May Republican
ticket, than by the election of the '
Democratic ticket; '
Our faith in the doctrqnes and trill
ditiohs of the Republican party is
strong,and our convictions of their
.wisdom.und justice well settled. We
therefore cannot aid or encourage any
movement that looks to running an
independent Republican ticket, the
result of which, if it accomplishes any
thing, will be the success of the Demo
cratic party, and the infliction ;of a
mortal wound to Republicanism in
Pennsylvania.

The Committee on Resolutions pre
sented • the following . platform ti and
resblutions, which were adopted with
out, discussion or Comment of any kind : 1
The Republican party of the State of
PenniYlvania, iniconvention assembled, do
reaffirm the principles of justice, equal
rights,' honesty and economy in the national
and State administriition upon -which the
party was founded, and upon' which it has
so long and continuously triumphed, and
does hereby resolve that it has alwayr been
the` ; aim and purpose of I the . ' Republican
party to carefully guard the interests of
the laboring classes by all suitable legisla
tion, and to that end the protection of
Anierican industry by adrOcacy of a con
tiniumee of proper and judicious - tariff .is
enjoined upon our Senators and. Represen
tatives in Congress.
Resolved, That as the' sense of the great
body of the party of the State
of Pennsylvania we declare:
.1. That we unequivocally condemn the
use of patronage to promote , personal, politi;
cal ends, and require that all offices be,
I stewed within the party shall be upon the
sole basis of fitness. - - ,
2. That competent and faithful officers
should not'be removed except for cause.
8. That the non-elective minor I officc‘s
should be filled in acv rdance with rules.
established by law. - -
4. That the ascertained popular will
shill be faithfully carrie' d.out in' Staie and.l
national conventions, and by those holding
office by the favor of the party. t,
5. That we condemn compulsory assess
ments for political purposes,' and proscrip
tidn for failure to respond either to such
assessments or to requests for voluntary
contributions; and that any policy of politi 7
cal proscription is unjust and calculated to
diittirb party harmony.
O. That public office constitutes a high
trust to be administered solely for the peo
ple whose interests must be paramount to
those of persons, not parties, and that it
should, be intariably conducted with the
same efficiency, economy and' integrity as
are expected in the execution -of private
trust. '
7. That the State ticket should be such
ai,,by the impartiality of its constitution
and the high character and acknowledged
fitness of the nominees, will justly commend
itself to the support of the united Republi
can party.
Resolved, That it is the duty of the Fed
eral government to adopt a policy which
will result in observingsood faith with the
aboriginees; by keeping intruders out of the
Indian Territory, by enacting laws protect
ing life and property -on the reservations;
by prohibiting tribe removals; by educating
all Indian children in manual labor - schools,
and by giving lands in severalty, and even
tually citizenship to -all self-supporting
Indians who desire the same.
Resolved, That we deeply deplore the
loss sustained by us, in common with the
other portions of our nation, in the death
of President James A. Garfield, who exem
plified by his whole life and public career
all those principles which constitute - the
highest type of American manhood, and
who, when stricken down by the hand of a
cowardly assassin,' showed by his fortitude
and heroic patience that his profession that
he was ready to give -his life for his coun
try was not an empty'. boast.
Resolved, That we heartily sympathize
with the widow and mother of our late
President and his bereaved children, and
we say to them that his life and memory
are the richest legacy which could • have
been bequeathed to them.
Resolved That the administration of
President Chester; .Arth - ur, commenced
under such sedeand' trying circumstances.
has proved toliiirwise, conciliatory and effi
tient, and is entitled to the cordial support
of every Republican.
Resolved, T ha t under the administration
of our worthy and able Governor, Henry
M. Hoyt,. the affairs of our State have been
wisely, honestly and ecdnomically adminis
tered. The interests of the taxpayers of
State hays been Carefully guarded, and his
ID
ad • • is :worthy of the confidence
of eve " citizen. • ,
Re rid, That -'the ticket nominated
this day combines purity of personal charac
ter with eminent ability, is worthy of the
hearty and undivided support of every true
Republican, and for its election we hereby
pledge our earnest efforts. , •
. Resolved; That the State Committee be
constituted according to the usage of . the
party, the delegation from each district to
presentto the secretary of this, Convention
the name of the person desired to be placed
thereon. i .
_Resolved, That we also recommend the
adoption of the fol lowing ;Aides for
the holding of State coneenikins_ an a l_
the conduct of the party: i"
1. That delegates to State contentions
chosen in the manner in Which
candidates for the General Aiseinblil i are
nominated, except in Senatorial dist 'ets
-com Posed of more than a county, fin which
conferees for the selection of Senatorial
delegates shall be chosen in the manner
aforesaid. ;
'• 2., Hereafter tate ConVention of the
Republican shall be held on the sec
ond Wednesday of July, except in the year
of the,: Presidential elecfion, when- it shall
be held not more than thirty days previous
to the day fixed for the National C,onven ;
tion, and at least sixty days' notice shalt , be
given of the date of the State Conventiolt.
3. That we recommend to the county
organizations that in their rules they allow
the largest freedom in the general partici
pation in the primaries consistent with the
preservation of the party organization.
General Beaver, who had been invi
ted before the CAmvention, was intro
duced to the delegates by the chairman,
and was, received with enthusiasm. He

received with earnest and hearty ap•
plause. N filr3lvill publish the General's'
speech in full in the . REPUBLICAN of

Sergeant Mason.
WAsullicrrow;My 11. Mrs. Bets!) ,
Mason, wife of S e rgeant ' . Mason, had
an interview with the President this
afterno4n, and made a strong personal
appeal for her husband',l4 release. The
President stated‘to'Mrs. Mason'that he
had great:sympathy for her, and that
the petitions for the pardon of her'
hniband would be laid before the
Cabinet. Mrs. Mason was very much
affected by the President'S words,- and
was-so overcome with emotion that she
could not
.speak. Her friend Mrs.
Mary Shannon, spoke • for her. The
general impression is, that Maion's sen
tence will be mitigated in a short time.

Probably tho only dog who ever owned .
real estate in this country died recently in
St. Louis. His estate consisted of a house

Republican simplicity was never more
graphically illustrated than in a pleasant
old-fashioned house near lowa City the
other day. A representative of The •Re
publican of Cedar Rapids visited the house
in 'search of its owner, ex-Secretary of the

The Harrisburg Telegniph announces, on
what is claimed as good authority, that ar
rangements are now being made by the
workmen in all the Bessanier steel works in
this State as well as 'those in the eastern
and northern States for a general strike,
Which will be precipitated within the next
ten days. It is said the movement will
also be joined by railroad employees, and
promises to be.the most' , extensive in its
operations of any ever witnessed in the
county. The strike is, based on a refusal
of manufactures to agree to an advance in
wages over the rates now in force, which
will terminate according to agreement on
the Ist of June.
A few days ago one of the . 1 2
furnaces
at the Lochiel Iron Works, near ' burg,
chilled. When work was begun. to clean
it out, preparatory to again blowing it in, a
solid Mass of iron at least forty or% fifty
tons in weight was encountered.,
Chiseling,
sledging and other modes were inserted to
in order to break the metal so that it might
dislodged, but they were unsuccessful.
It was only after the :repeated use of dy
namite that the iron was broken, then into
only three pieces. Each of these weighed
a number of tons, and it was with great
difficulty that they could be. taken out.
One of the Cekunns to the furnace was
shattered by r the force of the dynamite, and
it will be some time before the furnace
I will be repaired`. sufficiently to he put in
operation.
