The Democratic ticket has ten legs, the
regular Republican nine legs, and the Inde
pendent eight legs.
In .1901 the government actinui intimates
that the. populatfon of the :United States
will be 101,310,000.
Reform once More appears on the ban
ners .of democracy. What .has become of

The tender solicitude evinced by t denio
erotic newspapers for the Pennsylvania In
dependent these days is really touciing.
This State now has twenty-seven Con
gressnien and the-Congressmtuit-Large to
be elected this fall will give us twenty-eight
Representatives. Mr. Brosins will un 7
doUbtedly strengthen the delegation.
The 'candidates on the ,Democratic State
ticket after six hours discussion in Phila
delphia hist week, decided on W. U.
Vensel, of the Lancaster Intelligcnccr, as
Chairman of their State COmmittee.
1- Those who are accustomed to forecasting
political events with the nearest approach
to accuracy, predict that the next congress
will contain in Republicans and 152 pemo
eras in the lower house, a majority on'the
right side of twentpone. •
The State of Missouri has . a larger num
bei of farmers than either Pennsylvania,
'lndiana or lowa, and is in fact the fourth
State r in fhe Union in that department of
agriculture, being exceeded only by Illinois,
Ohio and New York. This great result is.
the work of ridlioad and immigration. .
It is announced from interior.NeW York,
where is located the largest hop district in
'the United States, that the hop' crop is a
failure. This will affect the farmers mare
seriously than the imbibers of malt liquors.
For it hasbeen noticed that even if the
barley crop and'the malt crop both fail, we
alwayS have beer.
The greatest wool -growing county in the
United States is said to be Washington
county, Pi - 4 It produces annually 2,500,-
100 to 3,00().000 pounds of wool, worth in
cash *1,000,000 for the wool alone,, beside
the sale of fine sheep for breeding purposes,
and muttton, sheep and lambs for the .
meat markets of the East.
The Williams . port Banner is of the opinion
that medical experts will soon rank among
the cranks of.the country, and their testi-
Mony be looked .Upon as so much technical
nonsense. • In ,the Hayden ; Malley Lind
Griiiteau cases, the point blank contradic
tions and 'stubboni adhearance toassunied
positions places such evidence at a discount.
The West Chester Record gets off 'the
following good one: "A ha's'e slantler
conies from Egypt. It is reported that
Fioinelxxl y threw a ripe ton:ato at one of the
_United States naval ships lying at, Alexan
dria and the fruit striking the vessel fair on
the side at water line made such a hole that
the •vessel immediately filled with water
`and sank.'

• The case of Sergeant Mason is still pend
ing before the President, but he is Under •
stood to be averse to interference with the
court-martial procetdings. The petition of
Mason's counsel, raising the point that
Mason is illegally confined in the Peniten
tiary at 41xuay r luis been referred to Judge
Advocate General Swain, whose report is
expected in a day or two.
The number of mercantile failures re
ported throughout the United States during
the least six months was 3,649; against 3,-
2M foi• the same time in 1881, 2,400 in 1880
and 3,810 in the first half of 1879. The
total assets for the past six months amount
led to $27,329,765 and the liabilities to $42,-
382,289: In the same period in 1881 the
assets were $19,500,000 and the ; liabilities
'539,500,000.
The details from Alexandria are to the
fullest extent evidence of the power of :the
-English forces, as compared : , with those
1 which Arabi had
,opposed to them. :The
fOrts have been silenced, the city haS been
set on fire and burned, a general sack and
extensive massacres have takenfplace, and
further war operations must now be trana
.ferred to the. land, - the Egyptians having
retreated to the interior.
It is charged that drunkenness is the
cause of the disaster. on the Ohio river
whereby the, Scioto steamer colided with a
steam tug and between sixty and seventy
lives were lost. 'For-the credit . ; of human
ity it is to be hoped' that this is not so.
With the suspicion . that men charged with
the grave raponlibility involved in caring
for hundreds of lives, may be drunk, there
will be very little comfort for excursion
ists,on land or water. •

Congress hasrdirected the Department' of
AgficUltaie to collect and publish monthly,
for the information of farmers ; thO' freight
rates of the various railroad and steamboat
lines far the purpose of enabling them to
judge when - and over what lines it will be
the most profitabk-Ai . ship their 'products.
The move is one {Of the nut4:'practical
the department and will - do more real goal
to farmers than the disttibutici,tc-cl, tons of
seeds which nobody plants.
From the quarterly report of the 'State
Trensurer it appears that during the three
months ending on Juno 30, $669,567.32
were_paid in liquidation of the State debt
and interest. The deposits in the s'arious
banks of the State on account of the sinking
fund amounted on•the first instant to $2,-
671,597 94. The entire debt at that time
was $20,034 - 381 28,.0f which but $500,000
bears interest at the rate of six per cent.
the remainder haiing been funded at a
lower rate.

The quarterly report of the State Treas
ury Shows that in April, May and June last
$009,567.32 were paid in liquida l tion of the
debt of the Commonwealth andin meeting
the interest on it. On July 1 the sinking
fund had to its credit $2',1371,697.94,* and
the non-interest-bearing debt aggregated
$502,483.28. The total delft of the State
was $20,934,483.`28; all of Wkiclt has been
funded at a lower rate of interest 'than six
per, cent. except the five hundred thousand
dollar Pennsylvania State • 4g4lcultural
College bond. On the first of July a loan
s ad $4B O 000 1 bearing interest, fell due, and
bonds representing about two-thirds of that
aipount have, enredeemed. The June
Treasury stateSitnt shows that at ' the end
of that month there were in the genero
fund $1,089,050..54.1
The attempt that was made; to provide
money for the payment of 'the expenses
connected with Mr. 'Garfield'slast sickness
has been frustrated, as the amendment
which was for that. purpose added by the
Senate to the General Deficiency bill has
been rejected by the House. This must not
however, be taken to mean that Congress
is not disposed to, make any appropriation
of this kind. The trouble is that the House.
i\-as on its dignity on account of what it re
garded as the Senate's Unwarrante4 inter,
ference with a matter which it haill in
hand. It must be' remembered the
House appointed a committee to `consider
the whole subject. The Comnaittee pre
pared two reports, 'on neither t of which,
however, has any action beenl taken, and
and. so the House • resents the Senate's
action.' It is a very petty spirit which in
connection is being shown till round. ,
Some idea of the vast moneyed interest
represented by the 'manufacturing indus
tries of the country may be gathered froin'
a recent census bulletin. It furnishes sta
tistics of the capital, employes, pal 1, mann..

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE,
PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS
iflie absorbing topic just now in political
circles here, is• the ,negotiations pending
between the Regular and Independent
wings of the Republican party in Pennsyl
ivania for 'hai:monizing their differences.
'Amongst the" Republican Members of the
House from Pennsylvania, are several. who
may be classed as anti-Cameron Regulars,
i. e.' they 'sustain the regular organization
And its nominees; but -they oppose, bossiSm ,
methods. itmethods. There is but one member
from the State—Col..tayne, of Allegheny
who is an outspoken' Jndepetident. With
out exception, the Republican delegation of
the -House . from Pennsylvania, ! express
themielves-as favorable to the third propo
sition submitted by the Regular Suite Com
mittee at their meeting on the 12thinstant,
to the Independents, as a basis of harmony.
They deem the proposition eminently just
and fair, and declare that if the Indepen
dents refuse"' their acceptance, they will
place themselves at . a decided clisad-
Vantage, and their position will -be render-,
ed so untenable they will cease to be • of
consequence as a factor in Pennsylvania
politics.. • ; •
On the other hand, if Senator Mitchell
may be yegarded as the exponent of the
position:the Independents have determined
to maintain, there is little prospectof liar- .
.inonfOn the basis . tendered. He is report
ed as saying that ti x ie proposition fails to
cover the main' question at issue. That, in
s hort, itleaves the nomination' of General
Beaver possible, and the objection to
is that he, by his record at Chicago,, is the
pronhuncedrepsentative and embodiment
of bosa methods in the State. That no man
standing in the 300 category' Would, under
any Circumstances, be acceptable to the
Imtependents, and therefore they require
as an ultimatum, that both tickets shall be
dropped, and a ticket of new men be! nom
iaatedtualer the new rules. It is doubtful
whether, if such aj propcfsition . should be
accepted by the RegularS,4t would result in
the eleCtion of theiiew . ..tib.ket, as the ardent
friends of General o.ater would become
lukewarm and indifferent to the success of
the candidate nominated in his stead, and
Via certain extent it would effect every'
/ -
candidate on the ne7) ticket in the same
(
way. It is very
.generally thought by. Re
ablican.s here that'paere will be . a settle
lnent,.and the paxtV.will:be united.

' RAVAGES' OF TUE ARMY WORM
Late adl.j,ces frOm Philadelphia state
that the army' worth has marshalled
countless legions at the' very gates
,of the city, and after laying waste _the
corn-fields, the potato patches and
timothy tracts, it is: believ'ed that lie
meditates an attitek upon the green
swards of the nark, and possibly means
to devour the few flower-gardens which
decorate our a•stlietic residences. 1
13ehind the gathering millions tiortld
'Jinn south are long stretches of country ,
CvOrip he has just conpleted his work:
of devastation, , despite the helpless
I farmers' efforts to turn back the invad• I
lin. , myriads. The farmers have burh
elniiilions, of tiaAn, pread Paris"green
by the eartload ; over their farms,
ditched their fields; but all to no pitrpo se.
A few days ago the advance .guard
rca'clie& DeleWare county, overran
Chester from Ithe south'and came down
from Bucks' aid Montgomery on the
north!
lekemains obe seen whether they
will really a , tack.'the city. . While!'
these pests are 'thus . threatentii - g the
city, the f_ farmers them
selves lucky 't i o. get off without having
been absolutefr eaten' out 'c,f house and 1 ,
home, were congratulating themselves
upon being rid of the army-worm; when
they were thrimn into a state of renew
ed consternation by the appearance of
a new pest,. which hreatens t. 9. do more.;
damage than the other.i first tdis

insect covers the-heads! and leaves of

.the substance is

and ihe head soon shows a white all
