OHOW, Of Susquehanna. 8AMU1X A. DAVKNl'OKT. Of lirlo Somh editors have a penchant for exercis ing their abilities on both sides of a political question. Tlioro are timeawhen tbo editorial mind, with the columns of two papers of opposite political faith at command, can easily satisfy a prejudice or disliko fur home particular candidate and not bo termed a "kicker." This fact was forcibly brought to our attention in tho present campaign in this county by a Democratic editor. Tlio latter is disKitlsfied at the remit of his party's con vention, and ho seized the opportunity to use his pen against the party nominee, .through other than the columns of his own paper. And still they tell us tho Democrats are dwelling in harmony. Systematic advertising, through the right mediums, always pays. One of tholargoet advertisers in the country, and who very wisely usos the columns of the Herald, it! l'lof. J. M. Munyon, of Munyon's Homo p.ithlc ltcmcdy Company. Last yoar ho netted $207,000 from his bu-iness, tho fouith hi its history, and lie attributes this quick, Hidu-spronil success to liisadvortUing, hacked up by tho merit of the uiodiciue, which last year cost him in round numbers 100,000. lie snys: "Wo hive never spent a dollar out 's de of tlio newspapers for advertising, and we piopono to increase our adveitising. I do not think that thcro is anythlifg that can take tho place, of newspaper advertising." Tin: O.inioron bug-hear is again brought birth, notwithstanding the Senator's an nounced determination tere,tiioat tho expira tion of his present term. Quite a number of urn exchanges place veiy little credence, in the assertion, and profess to believe that Senatois Cameron and ljuay aie working quietly to effect the former's re-election Vhuiu7crau expression of opinion is had of the Republican voters and especially in Schuylkill comity, it has been decidedly op posed tu Cameron, lio is too closely identi fied with tho 10 to 1 idea, and his round in the Senate should be HUillcient to show tl at he is not in harmony with the Republican party. Wo do not thiuk that Don Uimeion will again leprcsont this utato at Washington for another term. Tun rccoids of some of tho ardent frie siUer advocates which are hoing brought to light, makes their prcicnt position on the lurrency question appear ridiculous, to say the least. Senators Jones and Stewart, both hailing from the statu of Xuvada, are the Lead and front of the silver cause. The former is chairman of tho National com mittee having in charge liryun's canvass. On Juno 11th, lh71, the very year following "the crlmo of 1S73," ho addressed tho Senate as follows: "I delicto the sooner we como down to a purely gold standard the better it will ho for tho country." In tho same speech the Senator said that tho human heart was set upon gold, that it was the standard of high civilization, and that when gold was used exclusively for money it Uitight the very habit of honesty. Tho day following Senator Stewart joined his colKaguo iu favor of tho gold standard. He said : "The labor ing man is entitled to have his labor uieasund by tho same standard of the world that measures our national debt," and that tho question of money wuuld never be settled "until you determine tho simple question whither tho laboring man i3 entitled to have a gold dollar, if ho earns it, or whether you are going to cheat him with something el.-e. Again, Stewart said tbo Rnglish had tried to get along without gold, aud had to come hack to It, and he closed uji the whole matter, so far as he was concerned, saying, "You must come to tho same conclusion that all other people have that gold is recognized as the uulvcrsal standard of value." Tun report come from Harrlsburg that u secret movement has been sUirted looking to a change In tho present liquor llienso law, known us tho llrooks high license law. Tho change contemplated aro said to atfect par ticularly Philadelphia and Pittsburg, and tlio bill to Iks framed and introduced at the next Legislature will he similar to what is known ns tho Haines law of New York. One of tho chief reforms desired is to relievo tlio beiirh of Philadelphia and Pittsburg fruin tho arduous work of heuriug applications and granting licenses. In Philadelphia especially complaint Is made of the disagreeable burden now imposed upon judges of tho License Court, aud tho amended act will he so c-jii-htructcd a3 to apply to Philadelphia uud Pittsburg only possibly Philadelphia alonu nnd ti leave tho rural Judges to continue to oxorciso tho duties imposed upon them by the llrooks law. Another feature of tho pro posed law is to hroak up tho owucrshlp or control ot retail hootos by distillers, brewers and wholesalers.1 Ono of tho attorneys for tho organization states that a very fargo propor tion of.thf retail saloons uro simply com mission 'lioustfc'selilng spirits and beer for ananufaetuiers and wholesalers. Tho new law will provide such restrictions ai will lircvctit till?. It Is proposed to hiahc ono of tho penalties for violation of tlito section Imprisonment, sending to the county jail or state prinon any brewer, distiller or whole saler, wlio directly or Indirectly controls or in jurt owns, directly or Indirectly, a retail establishment. To ferret out and break up nil such combinations a detective system will ho iiecowwry providing for an espionage of brewers and distillers more rigid than that now exercised by the United States govern inent over distilleries. The movement lias occasioned considerable ceinincnt, especially among the larger concerns who profess to believe that it la a secret attempt at extor tion. PITHY POINTS.
