Builders along the New Jersey coast
say that this has been the most prosperous
and busy season they have ever known.
There is a strong demand for laborers,
masons and carpenters, and it is almost
impossible to secure men to supply the
demand.
Tioga Agitator: A dissolving view:
In 1878 the Greenback vote in this State
was 81,758; in 1879 it was 27,207; in 1880
it was 20,668; this year it is 14,876, We
> don't wish to hurt the feelings of the
mourners, but it really looks as though
there wouldn't bo much more than the
party "pigs' tails" left uext year.
The Mikado of Japan has issued a proc
lamation notifying the people of the
establishment of a constitution with a
representative assembly in 1890. Dissatis
faction is shown to some extent, in conse
quence of the long delay. Several native
newspapers have been suspended lor
adverse criticisms.
Since the days of Washington it is con
ceded by all Visitors to Washington (of
course they do not all remember tlie
Father of his Country) that no more
affable, courteous and unaffected mail
ever carried the honors of the Presi
deutiai office in public and private than
Gen. Arthur. His manners are those of a
polished gentleman, without any approach
whatever to pretension. lie is digni
fied, but in no sense affected, austere or
overbearing. Mr. Lincoln was perhaps
the easiest (if we may use the word) I
man that ever held the olllce, but
Gen. Arthur excels Old Abe in calm and
attractive manners, that are hearty with
out being bluff*. As President Arthur
adjusts himself he fills and fits every part
of it admirably.— Harrisburg Telegraph.
The staid old North American, of Phil
adelphia, was moved to remark the day
after election that—"The vote for Mr.
Wolfe must serve its good purpose, too,
lor if with no other leadership than that
of personal vanity, against a candidate of
unexceptionable character, whose nomin
ation was made without contest or pro
test, the antipathy to the methods and
arbitrary measures of the people who
have controlled tlie Republican party
finds voiee in such numbers as enrolled
themselves under the banner of Mr.
Wolfe, it is easy to see how completely
succeesful would be a revolt made with
the sympathy and co-operation of all
those whose disaffection is not less sin
cere but is more judicious than that of
the independent candidate for State
Treasurer. The election is a grave warn
ing to the machine to adjust itself to the
changed condition of affairs."
The Philadelphia Telegraph says consid
erable misinformation seems to be afloat
concerning the next election in Pennsyl
vania. The State officers to be elected
are Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and
Secretary of Internal Affairs, to succeed j
lloyt, Stone, and Dunkel, respectively,
and a Judge of the Supreme Court to suc
ceed Sharswood. Mercur will become
Chief Justice, and the new Judge will take
his place at the foot of the bench, so to
speak. There will also be chosen one
lialf of the State Senate (members from
the even numbered districts), an entire
House of Representatives, and members
of Congress. The Senators elected
will participate, in January, 1885, in the
choice of a United States Senator to suc
ceed J. Donald Cameron, but a new
House will be chosen again in November,
1881. It is a notable fact that the term
of nearly all of the Republican Senators
who took part in the Independent move
ment at Harrisburg last winter during
the Senatorial contest, expire; it is also
to be noted that no less than five of these
gentlemen were present at the recent In
dependent conference in this city, one of
them, Lee, of Venango, presiding. It is
probable that the preliminary nominating
proceedings in.each of these districts will
be lively, as no member who bolted the
caucus will have a chance to do .so again
in 'BS if the "machine" can prevent it.
The report of Postmaster General
James is a voluminous document of fifty
pages in which the condition of the de
partment is ably and thoroughly discuss
ed. We have space to glance only at its
most important contents* The net re
duction of expenditure for Star Route and
steamboat service from March Ist to Oc
tober Ist is $1,137,757. In regard to the
abuses in the Star Route service the post
master general confines himself to the re
marks that the investigation was ordered
by the late presidant and is still being
prosecuted; and that the post oflice de
partment has co-operated and will con
tinue to co-operrte with the department
of justice in the investigation. In the
opinion of Mr. James the great majority
of the railroads are over-paid for carrying
thje mails, and we think considerable re
duction can be made in the expense of
this as well as every other branch of the
postal service. By economy in manage
ment his aim is to make the receipts of
the department cover the expenditures,
so that within three years letter postage
may be reduced from three to two cents
The total expenditures for the last year
were $39,251,730 and the receipts were
$36,785,397, showing a deficit of nearly
two millions and a half.
