The people care not so much icho their
political leaders are, as how they lead.
Very much of the apparent opposition to
leaders in the Republican party is the re
suit of jealousy on the part of rural aspi
rants for the high places in the party or
ganization. AS a rule the party in Penn
sylvania since the advent to power of the
Republicans, has been well managed and
great credit is due to the Camerons for
the wisdom displayed in their leadership.
The young Senator's methods are some
times distasteful, but no one can truth
fully say he is corrupt or that he ever
champions the cause of dishonest men, in
putting forward candidates for the state
ollices. Independents and " machine
men " alike court his favors and implore
his aid in securing success, both lot nom
inations and elections. Mr. Cameron was
afforded a most conspicuous evidence of
confidence in his leadership when, after
the bitter contention at Chicago a year
ago last summer he was unanimausly rec
ommended for member of the National
Committee by the Pennsylvania delega
tion. The greatest men in the party all
over the Union seek his counsels and fol
low his leadership, although he is not elo
quent but " slow of speech." It is very
doubtful whether good would come from
deposing him, and the Independents
would accomplish more by directing their
efforts to a reformation of the Senator's
political manners and methods than in
endeavoring to put men of less experience
and political sagacity and integrity in his
place.
Should a merchant who has ;i balance at
his banker's sulllcieut to meet all his
notes and bills as they mature, but which
is bringing him no interest, borrow at
interest for long terms to meet his obli
gations, in order that lie may maintain
that balance intact? Very few persons
would hesitate to pronounce a merchant
who borrowed money under such circum
stances as unwise. Should the govern
ment ot the United States, then, in order
to meet the payment of the arrears of
pensions borrow money at interest when
the surplus revenue can be made sullieient
to meet those payments? We think not.
Let us pay as we iro. Interest is a sad
eater up of revenue. It is perfectly pro
per to borrow money for public improve
ments, which are in their nature produc
tive, as tending to increase the wealth of
the country. Hut the ordinary expendi
tures of the government should be met
in the ordinary way, and, that |is
from the taxes of the year. The princi
ple of borrowing money to pay the ordin
ary obligations of the government is
wrong. Its direct tendency is to increase
expenditures and to lead to extravagance
and corruption. It is easy to be liberal
if we do not feel the drain.— New Turk
(f raphic.
At the annual meeting of the National
Council of the Union League of America,
Philadelphia, Wednesday, the officers of
fast ycsi were re-elected, Resotutions
were passed in favor of a protectee tariff,
respect for the memory of Garllelu and
expressing confidence in the ability and
patriotism of Arthur.
The frosts and tornadoes did not de
crease the Florida orange crop for the
incoming year. The production below
the frost line will be enormous. The
Florida orange is only equalled by the
product from California. The planting
of trees increases every year. Four hun
dred acres are enough for the growth of
75,000 One grove is reported to have
borne 1,800,000 oranges, the crop selling
for $35,90(1. The fruit will be in market
plentifully about the first of the year.

The JYew l*or/ Tribune!
"The Leading American Newspaper."
Purine: the year 1882 THE TRIBUNE hopes to em
ploy with increasing success the woVk and the
methods which have won for it so large a measure
of popular approval. It has attained, and means
never to lose'the high standard of success which
was aimed at by its founder the largest circulation
among the best people. So large a circulation and
one so widely distributed over the entire territory
of the Nation has never been attained by any other
newspaper in the United States. We'accept this
fact as the verdict of the American people upon the
conduct and character of the TRIBUNE. The po
sition it occupies could never have been gained nor
retained but by pre-eminent merits as a newspaper
as an organ of sound opinion and an advocate of
just public measures.
In short the TRIBUNE will as heretofore continue
to be the medium of the best thou ght and tin* voice
of the best conscience of the time; will keep abre ist
of the highest progress,favor the freest discu ssion,
hear all sides, appeal always to the most enlighten,
ed intelligence and the purest morality, and refuse
peremptorily to cater to the tastes of the vile or the
prejudices of the ignorant.
The well-known special features of the TRIBUNE
will be carefully maintained. Its Agricultural De
partment will remain as it is, the fullest and best.
The Household and Young Folks' Departments, the
literary, scientific and religious features, the stand
ard market reports will all be kept up and extend
ed as opportunity may serve.
VALUABLE PREMIUMS.—The TTIBUNE lias
never been equaled by any other paper in the per
manent and substantial value of its premiums and
