THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1882.
The money-order ! busineas of the post
officio' ent for the fiscal year was
$120„000.
There was a sort of poetic justice in the
boiler explosion at San Francisco, the other
day, which . killed the inspector whci had
pronounced it safe the day-before.
There is a movement in Washington to
have the Census Bureau made a permanent
institution. At the rate its work t is, pro
gressing now the movement appears to be
lsuperfinous.
It seems to be useless to remind the poli
ticians who are now in search of an avail
able Republican candidate for President in
1884 among the less conspicuous public men
of thelime that public sentiment is getting
rather weary of such contrivances.
The State Bureau of Labor shows that
Illinois ranks next to. Pennsylvania 'in the
production of coal. The output for - 18Ee
was 9,000,000 tons. List year the yield
was 6,000,000 tons. The coal mines, are
found in-forty-six of the ,hundred counties
of the State. Tho value' of the yield of t
coal at the mines was nearly $14,000,000:
The London Echo mentions Gen. Sher
man's recommendation that the. United
States .Army be increased to- 80,000 men
and then sighs;,. "Happy land, that finds
30,000 men enough for the protection of
half a continent, and that, consequently,

A thinit skinned . Connecticut• judge has
fined a Waterbury newspaper. editor for
contempt of Court because the latter sharply
criticised a decision of the judge in a crimi
nal case: There are some judges - like that
in Pennsylvania who think their judgments
are simply perfect and are only deterred•
from trying to stop newspaper criticism by
fines by their fear of ridicule.
The Attorney General of this State his
just decided a question of law at the sug
gestion of Gov. Hoyt. An application was
made to the Governor by-a person convict
ed of violation of election laws to be re
stored to citizenship, but according to the
decision of the, law officer of the Commbn
wealth the Governor is powerless to grant
the request of the disfranchised individual.

If the country is in a fair Fay., - to reduce
the national taxation some eighty, millions
of dollars per annum, and can afford to pay
more than a hundred million dollars annu
ally for pensiciti4 it certainly ought to be
able to stand *ithout, a strain the reduc-
tion of the fates of letter postage to two
cents. And yet in some quarters the move
, ment is regarded as ono of rather doubtful
expediency. There is every reason to be
lieve tluttithe revenue would rise, with elas
ticity under the increased use of the letter
mails. '
The loss sustained by the Catholics of
Cincinnati through the banking operations
- ,of Archbishop Purcell have brought about
one excellent result in the issue of an order
, by the present Archbishop prohibiting and*
'43ordained priest!in that , diocese from re
ceiving money on deposit or in trust, or for
investment by private parties. In plain
terms; religious banking has been abolished
in Cincinnati by' the. : dignitaries of the
Latin Church, as being foreign to the
interests of the church and calculated to
injure the cause of religion.
The entire psoductive industries of this
country in the census year amounted to
67,000,000,000, of which more than one
fifth. $1,483,000,000, went into the liquor
traffic. The laboring clocses received that
year $1,100,000,000. It cost V 93,000,000
to Clothe the American *pie,. about one
quarter as the drink bill; an. average of $65
to a family for clothes,
and $2OO for liquor.
The public schools cost $100,000,000.
Thirty times as much was expended in the
liquor business Lis byl the churches. For
each of our 80;000 churches there are four
grog shops and for every one of 90,000
ministers there are six bartenders.
A despatch from Harrisburg, says: "The
receipts of -the Pennsylvania State . Treas
urer-last year, independent of the amount
obtained for thd new loan, aggrega ted
4,r.068,529, and the expenditures, exc lusive
of the amount paid to redeem loans due,
reached $5,024,766. !About three-fourth of
the revenue was obtained from the taxa
tion of corporations. The expenses of the
State government proper, including • Legis
lagislature, judiciary and State depart
ments, were $1,157,000. In addition,
$683,65•4 were paid to charitable institu
pons; $366,670 to soldiers' orphan schools;
$1,083,524 to common schools; $242,395 to
the national'guard, and $278,988 to peni
tentiaries. Th 3 State debt is $20,225,083.-
es, showing a reduction of $915,104.
, Northampton county is_ going to try
what it can get in the way of reform at
Harrisburg this winter. It will ask that
its district attorney will be made a salaried
officer; that the office of county detective be
abolished and that its justices of the peace
be examined as to their qualifications be
fore appointment. The Media American
commenting on this 114 t proposition says:
A rural justice of the peace; who knows
anything of the business in hand, as hard
to find, and-when found in such a treasure
that the wonder is a law compelling , all
justices to possess some legal information be
yond a copy of "Purdon's Digest" -has not,
been enacted long ago. There is no way
to atteinpt this reform - under the constitu
tion than to apply it to all the counties.
How far the civil service is likely to be
reforined by the Democratic party can be
imagined from the fact that leading Demo
cratic Congressmen make no secret of
their intention to prevent the passage of
the Roudleton bill, unless it is amended by
the addition of a proviso limiting its appli
cation to clerks appointed ; ~ subsequently to
its - passage. The object, of this exception
is of course nbvious. it means that the
Democrats are determined that if they can
help it there 'shall' be no snch reform as
will prevent them from ousting the present
office-holders. Their idea of reform con
sists in getting, Republican appointees out
of place in order to make room for :the
crowd of hungry Democzts p pho are look
ing with longing eyes to s the distribu
tion bf the loaves and fishes which seem to
be looming up iti,the distance. ,
We agree with the North American when
it says: `lt is understood that a proposal
will be made at the next meeting of the
Republican National Committee to amend
the title of the Republican party by the ad
dition as a prefix of the word "National,"
the idea being, it is said, to please and
iittract the many southern voters who have
fallen out with the Demecracy. We doubt
if this suggestion will meet-with much favor
and do not stall think that if adopted . it
would be materially effective in the - man
ner desired. To make such &changemild
look like an admission that the Rept'
T ae
party hid hot been national in its sy m
thies, in its"development and in its policy,
and no southerner is going to change his
politics on account of the addition of an
adjective.
1e West Chester Record, it is quite evi
dent, does not heartily' favor the Tutors
tion of Fits John Porter. In its iiasaa :of a
recent date it says: "Senator-, L o gan says
hetiili oppose the bill restoring Fits John
Porter to the army, as Img - as he lives.

..,, ouldn't help the man who was so anxious
to help them whip Pope."
The question of a reduction of letter pos
tage from three to two cents :has been
argued in Congress during the past week
in all its phases. Since the prosecution of
the star-route thieves the postal service has.
proved self-sustaining. - is argued, with
a show of sowid . reausnil that by a' re
duction of letter pstage two cents the
number of letters sent would be greatly in
creased and the number of one cent postal
cad is sent would be proportionally diminish
ed, and the service would be the gainer
of one cent in revenue on each letter of the
increased number. Also that while letter
postage is retained at three cents, the' dif
ference between letter postage and the
posW card is so large, that the number of
letters sent is largely diminished in conse
ciencei and that it is not good tlnanciering
on the part,of the government to furnish
the postal card land transmit it for one cent,
while the writer of a letter furnishes his
own paper and !,envelope and is . charged
three cents for the transmission of every
half ounce or a fraction thereof. This fact
is presented in proof of-the. argument that
the pro - posed reduction to two cents would
enhance the postal service. The guarantee
of secrecy in the transmission of a sealed
letter is an advantage worth one cent over
the pistid card saythey, but it is not worth
two cents More, hence the letters sent
would be greatly enhanced by the reduc
tion. It is a pretty well settled: conclusion
that the government is standing in its own
light by maintaining-a three cent postage
on letters while it firnishes the postal card ,
and transuiits it for one cent..
There-are indicatioas that the results
of the late election have awakened lead
ing Republicans to a sense of the im
portance of, promoting 'party harmony.
The ostentatious bearing of a class of
political bosses toward those . Republi
cans who refused, in the November
elections, to follow ihe party flag is
much . modified: The administration
• •
at Washington recognizes the 190,000
Democratic rnajoritY, in New York, and
the 40,000 majority - - in Pennsylvania
as . a danger signal to the party that
certain defeat awaits it in 'B4 unless
the party, can be united. The defeat
in New York of a member of President
Arthur's cabinet by a majority so large,
is significant of the demand of the rans
and-file of the party that there must
be reform in party practices i and Meth
ods. As' much as Republicans deplore
Democratic ascendan4 . they; will not
tolerate the impious and, imperious rule
of a - set of p trty bosses who wield the
party lash to drive them to the support
of nominations made in contempt of
their will. Senator Cameron, Quay,
Rutan and other . machine rulers in
Pennsylvania seem disposed to recog-.
nize the' lessons of the recent election
'and to profit by them. They. express
a willingness to sheath the sword and
are•making overtures t for peace and
harmony of the warring factions. They
see the danger-signals' in the distance
and are anxious to ayoid a total wreck
of the good old RepUblican ship upon
the breakers of discord. Such's course
is in happy contrast with the action and
practice of that class of
.Republicans in
our State in the past. - Heretofore all
Republicans who denied the ' ! night of
State conventions to name and instruct
the district delegatesi to our national
conventions and to bind-them to vote
as.a unit on all' questions, however
zealon t sly they may have worke&for the
success of the Republican ticket, were
marked as subjects for party ostracism
by a set of party rulers. Men who
expressed an honest conviction of the

wrongs of party management, were
visited with the most unjust, arrogant,
and tyranica) ostracism, and popular
right were trampled upon as.unworthy
the respect of 'party rulers- and their
Harmony can be restored
Upon the basis of popular rights and
. .apon no other. The rank - and file Of
he party care little who are in the lead,
only so be it that they are leaders Of
public thought and - that Party action
shall be in harmony with popular senti
ment. They demand radical reform in
party methods. All delegates - -to
county conventions should be chosen
by
. ballot at primrry elections in the
Several election districts. Delegates
,to State conventions should be chosen
uniformly by a regular convention
of delegates chosen in this way
by
,every county, is the State. Dis
trict delegates to National conven
tions should, be chosen by the Congres
sional districts, and should ; act with
due respect to the - sentiment of their
constituents and not 718 dic:ated to by
a' central dynasty in our 'State politics.
The State convention, of, right, may
elect and instruct, the delegates for the
State-at large or Senatorial delegates
to the National Convention, bqi, 'when
it goes beyond this and attempts to ,in
struct the district delegates and bind
them to vote as a unit, it transcends its
authority and exercises a machine rule
in contempt of popular rights. When
the party is reorganized upon this basis
and party practices are in harmony
herewith, party harmony will cone,
and the people will not stop to inquire
who, lads. But the overtures for
peace must come from those of the
' party who have committed the wrongs
complained of, and not , froin those who
have been ostracised and, trampled
upon for dissenting from their methods
of party management. When the
olive branch of peace is tendered upon
this basis the tender will be met in ear
nest good faith by 'the thousands who
have heretofore protested in vain
against the usurpations and wrongs of
assumed leaders upn the rights of the
masses of the party.

The discussion nn tho t,
civil service bill,
known as the Pendletorif bill, in the Senate
during - thepast:week/has been of a highly
interesting character. A provision of the
bill requires that hereafter'all original ap
pointments shall be made_ in the lowest
grade, aftera **mishit competitive exam
ination', with /pedal reference to the
of duties to be performed. This, if a law,
would compel all new appointees to deNrt
ment clerkships to commence at six hun
dred &liars a year, with the prospect of
promotion to the higher grades as their
capacity for service 'becomes , developed by
experience. It is bard for some of the
Democrats to be compelled by law to aban
don the old dectrine originated by Marey
and stzennouslys enforced by Jackson, - viz.,
"TO TUE VICTORS BELONG TUE SPOILS."

The Indian. the agricultural, the military

bills have all been reported in the House.
The Indian appropriation bill has passed
the House '
and been reported by the Senate
committee on Indian affairs back to the
Senate„, and will be passed finally during
the week., Business will be farther ad
vanced prior to the holiday recess than at
any prior session for many years. The
Indian appropriation bill was-prepared by
Mr. Ryan of Kansas, prior to the assem
bling of the present session and reported to
the House on the first y. Mr. Ryan is
a well-known Bradford unty boy, and is
one of the most active an influential mem

he belonged had'been suspended through
the failure of the officers to leTward to the
Supreme Lodge an assessment on a previous
death within thirty days from notice. The
case went against the order in the lower
court, and on appeal the Supreme Court
cave judgment for the petitioner, holding
that when a lodge is restored the ',rights to,
death'benefits, which were suspended with
the suspension of the lodge are restored with
its restoration, and that the answer of the
defense was bad, because it showed that the
lodge to which Abbote belonged was rester;
