REFORM WHEit£ AXD HOW
From the Mercer Republican. Aug. 17.
In the heat of the approaching con
test for political supremacy in Penn
svlvania, the is«ues involved are
taking definite shape and the voter
must soon decide wiie.e he will stand
ia the b.uJe. Particularly those to
whom republican success is dear,
are called upon to gravely cous'der
the quest'oQ before them and to act
upoa the dicibion reached. Wb'le
this inevitably brings responsibility, it
pre-? opposes the iatellig'euce and hon
esty that is at once the burden and
the honor of every citizen of a true re
public, and imposes upon him a
from which he will not shrink
The political situation in the State
i 9 one that mismanagement in the
leaders has reudered familiar to the
voter. A single individual, clothed
wab power by the hand of his father,
has b,ought the natural heritage of
discord. Imbued with the notion
that this Slato is monarchical instead
of republican in its form of govern
ment, and that be himself is the sov
ereign instead of the servaat of the
people, he has undertaken to exer
cise arbitraly and opp l essive rule. By
studied methods iu his hours of rea
| son anu by the deaant language in his
hours of deb-tucb, he avows bis reso
lute purpose to control alone or to
take wiiu him to de iruction the party
whose honor and saieiy he should
saciedlv guard. To compass his ends
be has called ia briterv and intimida
tion again ana again, until the people,
aogered by defeat a.id aroused to a
sense of his powr, have resolved to
destroy him. Foiled by National,
SuLe and couoty Itiogs that do his
b'dding, the sp'rit or resis.ence bas
btreng heoed in the people with each
repulse until uow the masses are array
ed aga : nst the Bosses. It takes no
prophet to tell what the result w : ll
be.
Thou f.<r all true Republicans are
united and ha. monious, but here
aritej a d : 3'erence of opinioo as to the
best method of disposing of "ihe head
aod front of the offending." A large
element, pjre io lone, sUunch in Re
publicanism, believe the i;. f ely of the
pari v deui:ir)de the overthrow this
vear of Cameron a-id the i>cket be is
said to have named. Cousis.enilv
wilb (fpß«<fceorv it bas put another
Republican ticket io the field ; has
defined the issues oa which its candi
dates will stand, aud a.sks such a d>-
yision of the llepublican vote as will
elect their t'cket or de"eat the other.
The other more numerous element
recognizes all tue evils of which the
Indepenuents complain. It deplores
Boss rule and abbo s the corrupt and
debasing practices that are sapping the
foundations of the party. But it still
has confidence in the power of Ihe peo
p'e to rule a*id believes the party can
reform itself within itself. It clings
for party safety to the regular meth
ods of organization and the ticket nom
inated by that organization at liar
risburg. Jt demands a personal and
not a political issue with Cameron.
Believing him to bo already politically
dejd, it counsels patience aod modera
tion t'll 1884 when be comes before
the people for a re-electi"o aod they
can then give him a decent burial
without jeopardy io pariy ioteresls.
It wants Camerou out but would
eject bim i "otn the window lest while
shoving bim out at the oj)en door
the bowliug Democracy should get in.
The ( e are the v«l*t : ve positions of the
two elements of the republican parly.
They uolte in ibeir wishes but diyide
io their opinioa as to the best methods
of sccui iog them
A hoppy issue out cf a'l this trouble
would be a new coiive.it'oa and a new
ticket. This would gratify ail vows.
Jt is nrob Me oe'ther list of candidales
would be renominated simply bet .use
none of them would make the most
available men a id w'ftht not carry ..he
parly to vicwO.y. This convention
the people desire, and I his the leaders
should give them. Tiie question of
nm-unnul m'i>f<>rr>nr>n (iot'H not arise
with tbe people. There are capable,
honest mea enough in this State to
make an excellent v'cket tbat would
ensure Bucces.>, and too >e men shonld
be plated before tbe people for their
suffrages.
Mercer county Republicans have
shown their scniiißeuts c'early and un
mistakably. In their loc.il and coun.y
eleclioa they have signified their de
termination not to be brow-beaten or
controlled. In election a wise, moder
ate, self-tbipking uud acting Cou.uy
Committee they have rebuked t.-ck
sleiH bv p'aving the povver in bands
that are actuated by a love ofpr'nciple
instead of a love for money wliich is
the root of thin as well as of all
other evil. The majority of Me cer
cou i v Republicans, in Honest sympa
thy wiih ihe more liberal element,
desire a uew eouveutton aiid a now
ticket. But if this cannot be obtained
they will prope.lv cling to tbe es. b
lished methods, and whde supporting
the regular ticket p. t'eot'y bide ti'eir
time to avenge Heir wrongs upon .he
head of lueir origiua or, Mr. Ca.ueron.
They wdl be very willing that he go
where he chooses fei-ce he will go
where he Bays. But tbey have bed

KEPIBMC.4X BLACKMAIL.
m
N. Y. Indeper.dtnt.]
' We do not like to put the above two
words together. The Republican party
has been the party of mo-al ideas. It
has set itself against black slavery and
might be expected to set itself against
the robbery of while men and women.
It has done so, in words ; but in deeds
it is now guilty, in the persons of its
National Committee, of outrageous
robbery. Not of mere robbery, either,
though were bad enough ; but o."
robbery coupled with thieats, under
stood, if not expressed, of the loss of
position and livelihood. And this is
done in the name and by the authority
of the which hasaga'Q and again,
in its platforms and in the Messages of
its Presidents, declared that the tenure
of office should be limited by good be
havior and not by political service. It
is doue in bold, loud disregard of public
profession and public decency.
This is the shameless act. Every
officeholder ia the country is now being
assessed. He is not simply 'invited,'
he is urged and required to pay one
whole week's salary to help the Repub
lican paity in its campaign. If he
does not do it, no matter how poor, no
matter who many be dependent upon
him, the demand is made a second
time, more urgently, and he is made to
understand the threat that is implied in
the demand, that be will lose liis place
if he does not pay up. This is where
the blackmailing comes io. It is
virtually said to every officeholder:
Pav me two per ceot. of your wages,
or I will get you turned out of your
office anu, so far as I can, make you>-
family beggars. Tbe blackmailing Re
publican National Committee daies to
do this, and, what is most iociedible
and atrocious, it is generally believed,
it is hardly denied, except io a Pick
wickian seose, that this blackmailiog
Committee has the power it assumes
to have, that the Executive Depart
ment of tbe natioa would, at the de
mand of Hubbell's blackmailers, tu .i
out of office those that refused to submit
to their exactions. Add this Com
mittee, acting io defiance of Platforms
aod Messages, sardoo'cally tells the
poor officeholders tbat tbe success of
the partv and their continuance io of
fice depeods on .heir payiog in tbeir
miserable two per cent, to the black
mailer's treasury.
Aud, t.iking examp'e from the cen
tral blackmailers in Washington, crews
of locM blackmailers are spi iuging up
in several Spates. The S>.ate Com
mittee of Pennsylvania has al.eady
sent Odt its circular to appointees irom
that State, who, having paid their two
per cent, io one set of robbers, arc
now required to pay two per cent,
more to another. 'The Committee,'
says blackmailer Cooper, imitating
blackmailer Hubbell, 'is authorized to
state that such voluntary [sic] cout. i
but'on. f-om persons employed in the
service of the State or of the United
Slates, wi'l not be objected to io any
official quarter.' Ce r lainly not. Oi
tbe Other hand, it is believed that it is
the only condi'ion of retaining office.
It is not supposed that any cle-k will
dare to reply: 'I am not put in office
to serve ihe Republican party. I cannot
affo' d to pay thiitv dollais to carry
the next election for the Republican
parly. I will not do it. The Repub
lican party has by iiS platforms declar
ed against a partisan civil service. I
will nust iv, and see if my superior of
ficer dares to -emove me for not sub
mitting to your blackmail.' We would
like to see such a leiier wiitten, signed
aod published, and I ben wa't to tind
out if these olackraailngcommittees will
be allowed, in tbe gla e of publicity, to
lead President and Secreta ies by >he
nose to the brink of political destruc
tion. Aod he'e follows the Virginia
Readjuster parly, which a/ oouoces
itself as iho pa-ty of the Admio'St>a
tiou, with its blackmailing circular, de
manding five j)cr cent, moic of all offi
officials from that State to help Carry
the election for the party.
Has it come to this, shall it come to
this ihat the Republican party gives
itself up to blackmail and extortion?
Is it to live by robbing ch'ldien, by
stealing the bread irom poor women ?
Shall it confess tbat it must be defeated
unless officials appoioied to serve the
whole couo.ry, and not a parly, shall
heap up a lund of millions w-lh which
to conupt the popular vote? Shall it
say one thing io its platforms, to de
ceive decent and co iscienii >us people,
and anoiher ih'ng in p. ivaie circulars,
to carry out the metootisofp 'principled
politicians who run the machine? If
it must come to tuis, then good-bve to
the Republican party! 15ut we do
not bid it good-bye. We propose that
good Republicans shall stay in it and
siamp on Hubbell and Cooper and all
the blackmailers who are prostituting
the parly to their vile purposes.
Defeat for Cameron and h : s
Washing-on parlor ticket in 1332
means a delegation to the National
Couvea.'on iu 18-S4 of wLicb be will
ueuher be a member nor the boss.
It means a final entombment of the
third term conspirators. The path of
safely for the Republican party is the
path ihpt leads to the overthrow of the
men who nearly strungled it in 1880,
and who will surely ruin it 1884 un
less their power is curbed and their
plans ttiwarted. This is the work to
which the Independent Republicans
have given themselves. Tuey are re
ceiving the encouragement of eve. y
true Republican outside of their State,
who see tlearly that the tuture wel
fare and success of the party in the |
Union is dependent upon the over
throw of the insolent and tyrannical
political domination that has so long
ruled in oue of the chief citadels of
Republicanism. Cameron's defeat in
1882 means Republican success in
1884 ; that is the watchwo'd of Inde
pendents.— Crawford Journal.

merely of its fort-esses, has now be
came ihe established practice. Yet,
what did Vattel in tbe middle of last
century say? "At present we generally
conteut ourselves with battering ihe
rampa r ts aod defenses of a place. To
destroy a town with bombs and red-hot
balls is an extremity to which we do
not p oceed without cogent reasons."
W hat said Y auban still earlier ?
"The fire must be directed simply at
the defenses aod batteries of the place
* * * * and not against the
houses." Then let us remember the
English bombardment of Copenhagen
in 1807, when the cathedral and 300
houses were destroyed ; the German
bombardment of Strasburg in 1870,
were rifled mortars were used for the
first time, and the famous library and
picture gallery destroyed; and ihe
German bombardment of Paris, about
wb'cb, strangely enough, even the
'military conscience of tbe Germans
was sUuek, so that in the cy

such a pioceeding at one time pre
vailed ,".om a mo'al no less ihaa from
a miliiary point of v : ew. With re

ings, war r a>e tends to become increas
ingly des'r.'ctive. It was the rule in
Greek warfare to spa>e sacred and
Other buildings, as Marcellus, for in

1639 they not only set fi-e to the

The Effect of Imagination.
Io en ea>-ly part of my practice I
was called into a neighbor og towu to
visit a patient. It being about tne
nvddie of the day iho old gentleman
of tbe house (over sixty years of age)
invited me io stop aad dine. While
at dinner be said :
"I don't know as you like my din
ner."
"Whv, ves," said I, "I do. I like
it very well—>t is very good."
"I gness," said he, "von do not
know what you are eating."
"Why, yes," said I, "I do—it is
some new corned beef."
"Ah !" said the old gentleman ; it is
horse beef."
I leplhd :
"I don't bel'eve it."
"It is," said he: I declare it is
some of my old mare."
I was not much acquainted with
him at the t : me. I looked at him
supposirg h'm to bejok'og, but could
noi discover a muscle of tbe face to
alter o. 1 change. I had just taken an
other piece on ray plate aod a mouthful
of the second slice io my mouth, and,
in fact it was horse meat sure eoougb.
I could taste it plainly as my olfac
tory nerves would discover the scent
of an old horse. Tbe more I chewed
it the more disagreeable it ta. led. I
contiuued picking end tasting a litt'e
sauce whicn I could swallow, but the
meat, as the negro said, "would no
go," lat last gave a swallow, as I
do with a dose of physic. I after
waid tasted a little sauce, but took
good care not to put any more meat
in my mouth, aud kept time With the
family. Glad was I when dinner was
over.
It being cool weather, the old gen
tleman went to smoking and telling
stories. At last he said :
"I won't leave you in the dark
about your dijoer I told you we had
horsemeat for dinner, aud so it was.
1 told you it was some of my old
mare, and so it was, for I swopped ber
away for a steer, and that was some of
her beef."
I have ever since been glad the
old Kentlemen put the joke on me, for
I never should otherwise have known
how far imagination would have carried
me.

said :
"Well, I waut to stop my paper,"
and he sat down on the edge of a
chair as though it might hurt.
"Scratch my name right off. Yon are
responsible for my condition."
"Can it be possible?" we in
quired.
"Yes," said he, "I'm a farmer and
keep cews. I recently read an art'cle
in your paper about a dairyman's con
vention, where one of ihe mottoes
over the door was : ' Treat your cow
as you would a lady;" and the ar
ticle said it was contended by our
best dairymen tbat a cow treated in a
polite, gentlemanly manner, as though
she were a companion, would give
twice as much milk. The plan seem
ed feasible to me. I had been a hard
man with my stock aiid thought may
be tbat was one reason my cow always
dried up when butler was forty cents
a pound, and give plenty of milk
when butter was fifteen cents a pound.
I decided to try your plan, aud treat a
cow as I would a lady. I had a cow
tbat had never been very much
mashed on me, and I d< cided io com
mence on her, and ihe the next morn
ing after I read your devilish paper I
pat on my Sunday suit and white
plug hat I bought ihe year Greeley ran
for president, and went to the barn to
milk. I noticed the old cow looked
bashful and lightened, but taking oIT
my hat and bowiog politely t saio :
"Madam, excuse the seeming impro
priety of Ihe request, but will you do
me the favor to hoist ?" At the same
lime I tapped her lightly on tbe
flank wiih my plug hat. Putting
the tin pail under her I sat down on
the mi'king stool."
"Did she hoist?" said we rather
anxious to know bow the advice of
President Smilh, of Sheboygan, the
great dairyman, woiked.
"Did she hoist? Well, look at me
aDd sec if you thiuk she hoisted. The
cow raised and kicked me with all her
four feet, switched me with her tail
and hooked me with boih horns at
at once, and when I got up out of the
bedding in the stall and dug my hat
out of the manger and the milking
stool from under me and began to
maul that cow I forgot all about the
treatment of horned cattle. Why, she
fai-ly galloped over me, and I never
want to read your paper again."
We tried to explain to him that the
advice did not apply to brindle cows at
all, but be hobbled out, the mudest

The proposed twenty per cent, re
duction in the duty on sugar is natur
ally enough vehemently opposed by
the Louisiana delegation, who are
Btauich ProjectioniftUi as far as sugar
is concerned and usually Free Tiaders
as respects everything else. No single
into- est has received longer or greater
protection than the Louisiana sugar in
terest, yet it has been stimulated into
nothing like a proportionate develop
ment, for notwithstanding the high
rate of duty, nearlv niue-teutbs of a!l
ihe sugar co.isumed in this country is
imported .om abroad. The competi
tion of tbe slave labor of the West
Indies is given as a reason why the
Louis<aua planters should receive so
mnch protection, but this competition
was as seriously felt before the war
wheu the Sou.hern caoelields were io
like manner cultivated by slaves vet
still called for protection. The great
advantage of tbe West ludies consists
io their tropical sun, under whose ver
tical beams sugar i ane g ows spon
taneously and can bo made to yield
sugar with an abonda ice and ease thai,
defies the most industrious and ener
getic competition of colder countries,
even though semi-tropical.
Tbe consumption of sugar in the
United States is about 2,000,000,000
pounds per cuncm. Tbe annual pro
duction for tbe wiiole world of all kinds
of sugar is about 12,000,000,000
pounds, and of tbis Great Britain aud
tbe United States together consume
fully one-fourth. The consumption of
sugar per capi.a is considerably greater
in Great Britain than io tbe United
owing probable to the fact that the
absence of any duty makes it about one
third cheaper than with vs. The
abolatiou of the dut_v on sugar by
Great Britain iu 1574 was followed by
an increase in the importations the
year following by more than 100,01)0,-
000 pounds, while tbe iucr< a<<e in the
impoi tation of molasses for the same
exceeded 100 per cent. Though usual
ly counted as a luxury, the habits and
tastes of our people make sugar au
actual necessity, and tbe tax upon it is
felt in every household in the land.
Our imports of suga r for 1382 were
1,809,172,897 pounds on which tbe con
sumers paid a tax of $f0,70.),000,
which was nearly one-fourth of our
entire customs revenue. The compen
sating advantage for this, lrom a pro
tection standpoint, is that the plan
ters of Southern Lousiana were
able to raise and sell some 200,000,000
pounds of sugar. If there was anv
prospect that they would ultimately l>«
able, through the protection now jjiv
en, to supply the home demand th -ir
plea for its retention would have some
foice.

"Only Otic Fault."
I was riding through a bowery coun
tiy town in Vermont, when I chanced
to :.otice a concourse of people in the
clurch yard, evidently encircling an
open grave
It was a warm day, and I had rode
ten nrles, and 1 drew the rain under
some trees that arched the road, .o al
low the horse to cool and rest.
Presently a villager came towards
me, and I said:
'There is a funeral to-day in your
town ?'
'Yes—Stephen. He was one of the
largest-hearted men I ever knew. We
all owed something to Stephen.'
Then be added, in a tone of regret:
'He nad only one fault.'
The light lell in pencil rays through
the trees. I sat in silcnco enjoying
tne rei'ieshiug coolness.
The man resumed the subject:
'He had great abilities, Stephen had.
We sent him to the Legislature three
times. They thought of nominating
him for Governor.'
'But,' he added, sadly, 'Stephen had
one fault.'
I made no ajswer. I was tired and
wixtched the people slowly disperse,
leading the sextou to his solitary work.
'A very generous man Stephen was.
Always visited the sick—he was feel
ing—when any one was in trouble.
The old people all liked hi in. Even
the children used to follow hiui in tlie
streets.'
'A good man, indeed,' I said, iadiff
erentlv
'Yes; be only had one fault.'
'What was that?' I asked.
'Only intemperance.'
'Did it harm him ?'
'Yes, somewhat. He dida't seem to
haw any power to icsist it at last, lie
gut behiudhaiid aid hau to mortgage
his farm, aud finally hau to sell out.
His wile died uo account of the re ve.-se;

his ebildieu, uot having the right

There is another hitch in the distri
bution of the famous "300" medals of
l>eaten brass. The delay, after the
fust announcement of the existence of
the medals, was so £reat that many of
the faithful Three Hundred aud S : xers
hegan to doubt that aoy such emblem
bad been made, aud some hasty Stal
wart editors denounced the whole
6tory as a "maligoant Half-breed lie.'
Several weeks ajo, however, the medals
were completed and sent to Senator
Cameron at Washington for distribu
tion. A graphic description of them
was about the same time published in
the Tribune, but not, we regret to say,
in any of the Stalwart journals. Sub
sequently the batch for the New York
Contingent oftue Third Term Spartan
Band was sent to this city for distribu
tion, and were distributed, we believe,
but without fitting public ceremonial
such as we should have been glad to
see
It is made known now that the
Pennsylvania batch has never been
distributed. Somebody asked one of
the men entitled to ooe, recently, if he
had received his, and he replied that
he had not, giving this inteieeting
reason for the delay : "The big fel
lows think it would be unwise to send
them out. They are smart fh with
holding them, 100, p.irticulaily here in
Pennsylvania, where the weight of the
medal would only be an additional
drawback to the puity in the coming
campaign. now you know Graut
ism is pretty well handicapped without
'3oo' medals to increase the weight.
"There's the milk in the coeoanut."
Tiiat sti ikes us as a very lucid and
able exposition. What is surprising
about it is Ihe revelation that the "big
fellows" have at last been able to
realize that Gn»nt : sm is a weighty issue
to carry. Of course General Beaver
knows that. He had no desire to take
the stump in Pennsylvania adorned

point and say: "That is the trophy

The test as to whether a young treo

made by examining its new shoots. If

something is needed to stimulate the
growth and increase the vigor of the
tree.

the saddle.' The wood of this tree is
highly regarded thoie, no other l»eing

will bear more pounding and knocks
than any other English wood. It is
used extensively for cricket bats, floats
for paddle wheels, brako blocks on

yokes, wooden legs, shoe lasts, etc. It
will often grow to a height of sixty or
seventy feet in twenty years.
