EVF.RY Democratic state convention held this year invariably declared for turitl reform nud ballot reform. Those I who expected a backdown on the po- j sition the Democrats took on the | tariff have been sorely disappointed, j It is encouraging to see state after state proclaiming the necessity of, these two reforms. They are coming. EVEN the most enterprising Ameri can newspapers were "beaten" by I their English contemporaries in ac j counts of the recent storm on the At liuitic coast. London Public Opinion J publishes a telegram, in which it is j stated that thirty-seven thousand per-! sous perished by the wrecks of vessels j on the coast. A few more telegrams of that sort would entirely depopulate j the country. LUZERNE COUNTY politics appear to be dead. The indications at tlie be- 1 ginning of the campaign were those of a hotly contested battle, but the drift of public sentiment in favor of tho Democratic nominees was too strong and the opposition candidates wisely refrain from entering the con test, except as mere figure heads. A clean sweep from Shortz to Crockett on November 5. THOUSANDS of petitions were sent to tho last legislature, asking for the passage of an election law which would guaranteo to tho voters of Pennsylvania a pure and honest bal lot. "When such a law was before the house of representatives Henry K. Boyer, Republican candidate for state treasurer, voted against it, thereby placing himself on record as in favor of bribery and corruption. THE different Republican county conventions lield so far in this state have been a series of quarrels and disputes, the opposition to Quay being the direct cause. Although Quay is yet master of the field his political prestige is on the wane. When the independent spirit of tho Republican party succeeds in overthrowing this "boss," politics will be freed from one of its most contaminating factors. THE new state of Wyoming has adopted as part of its constitution a female suffrage chapter, giving women the privilege to vote at all elections. Among the qualifications required to vote are that all electors shall be able to read English and reside six months in the state. The constitution also provides for the appointment of a state board of arbitration, to settle differences between employers and employes. This has proven a miser able failure in other states and will fare the same in Wyoming. Bills have been passed prohibiting the em ployment on public works of any but fully naturalized citizens and prohi biting corporations from bringing into the state any armed police or detec tivo force unless authorized by the legislature or by the governor, if the legislature be not in session. The latter act will prevent the mobilization of Pinkcrton's thugs in caso of strikes. ONE of Minnesota's laws provided for the inspection of cattle on the hoof, and it was unlawful in that state to sell beef which was not inspected in that manner. This law prohibited the importation of dressed beef, but on Monday it was decided unconstitu tional by the United States Circuit Court, which held that this law was in plain violation of the free trade commercial clause of the constitution of the United States, which provides that congress alone shall have control of the commerce between states, and also in violation of the clause which provides that the citizens of each state shall be entitled to all the privi leges and immunities of the citizens of the several states. A bill somewhat similar to this one was before Penn sylvania's legislature hist winter and was defeated through the influence of Chicago beef companies. However, it is just a sample of what the high tariff Republican states would lead the country to do. Were such laws constitutional the next step of each state would be to levy duties of its own upon imports, and the United States would soon be dis-united. Free trade between the states is the secret of Americn s success. The rate of wages to be paid .Schuyl kill County miners for the last two weeks of August and the first two weeks of September will be i per cent, below the Jk'.-iU basis. New Lwt Should l>e Published. Consideration is now being given to the manner in which the people get a knowledge of the laws enacted by the legislature and approved by the gover nor of the state of Pennsylvania. As soon as the legislature passes a bill and the governor approves it, the law goes into effect. Not one out of every hun dred men in the state have any know ledge of such a law, nor is it possible for them to get information for its provi sions, because the pamphlet laws are not as a rule issued until months after a legislature has adjourned, and even when this volume is distributed to the proper officers knowledge of its contents is not disseminated freely among the people. It is claimed in legal practice that ignorance of the law excuses no man of its penalties, if he violates it. If proper channels were afforded the peo ple to become acquainted with the law it would be just to hold men sternly amendable to its injunctions, but where the multitude has no means of learning what the law is, there ought to be some leniency in dealing with those who vio late it, until they can become informed of its behests. In some quarters it is suggested that a publication of certain laws directly affecting the public should be made in the newspapers of the state, which is without question the proper way to meet this needed dissemination of knowledge, while by still others it is recommended that no law go into effect until after the pamphlet laws are pub lished and placed in the hands of offi cials and magistrates where they can Ire consulted. There is no doubt of the good sense and justice in all these sug gestions. The people should be afforded more opportunity to know what the law is than they have ever enjoyed. One of the reasons why wholesome acts are not enforced as they should be is because they are not understood and their exis tence not known by the masses of the people. This is a fault of the govern ment, and a very serious defect it its machinery. Whether or not it will ever be remedied is hard to forecast, but that it should be no reasonable man will I deny. Democratic Societien. The resolution offered in the Democra tic state convention by Hon. J. Irvin Steel of Schuylkill County, and unani mously adopted by that party, recom mending and urging the formation of Democratic Societies, touches a very important point in the matter of Demo -1 cratic organization. It should be ob served and acted upon throughout the | state. The Democratic Society is not a mere campaign club. It is a permanent organization intended to disseminate Democratic truth. It cannot be used for the advancement of the political ambi tion of any individual, for the principles on which it is founded are purely Jeffersonian, before which one Democrat j is as good as another provided he behaves himself like a Democrat. The Republi can party relies for success very largely upon organizations bases upon various isms and plays upon the ideas, fancies and antipathies of bodies of men banded ; together for this or that purpose. The Democratic Society is the antithesis of | all such factions and bigoted associations, j The citizen who is affiliated with the Democratic Society is educated out of | the narrow groove of prejudice and ; stands upon the eternal principle of the : "fatherhood of God and the brotherhood |of man." Forward, the Democratic : Society ! —Wilkes-Barre Lender. Protection vs. Free Trade. ! There never has been such an oppor tunity to make a fair comparison of the I advantages of free trade and protection as that afforded by the two Australian colonies of Victoria and New South Wales. In other countries there are differing conditions which affect the value of the comparison. These two colonies adjoin each other. The popula tions are alike. The natural advantages and resources, the climate, soil, and productions, are practically of entire similarity. For the last twenty-two years Victoria has sought to build itself up by the adoption of a protective policy. New South Wales, on the contrary, has adhered to free trade. The result is very briefly told in the following extract from an article in Macmillan'a Magazine. We commend its perusal to those stu dents of political affairs who are in doubt as to the effects of a tariff policy of this country in interfering with our sym-1 metrical growth as a commercial as well as an agricultural and manufacturing nation: New &outli Wales and Victoria have furnished the world with a great lesson in the merits of the rival fiscal policies of freedom and restriction. Starting to gether as free trade colonies, Victoria, after twenty years of freedom, adopted a policy of commercial restriction. At the time she made the change, in 1800, she had every advantage over the older colony. She was 200,000 ahead in popu lation ; she had £1,000,000 a year more revenue ; her external trade was £8,000,- 000 a year larger; her area of cultivated land was larger by 150,000 acres; she was the equal of New South Wales in shipping, and far ahead of her in manu factures. Since 1800 the two colonies have pursued their courses along the same lines in nearlv all respects, except as to their fiscal policies. The conditions I <>f the comparison are considerably in favor of Victoria. Yet what is the re sult? Victoria, who when she was a free trade colony was in everything which indicates material progress ahead j of New South Wales, has been steadily j falling behind in the race since she I adopted protection. In 1800 the Victo ! rian revenue was one million more, in : 1888 it was one million less, than that of I New South Wales. In 1800 the imports into Victoria were valued at Ave millions more than those into New South Wales; I last year the imports into Victoria only i exceeded those into New South Wales by one million. In 1880 the exports i from Victoria were valued at three mil lions more than those from New South | Wales; last year they were seven mil , lions less. In 1800, under free trade, i Victoria had already a considerable ■ manufacturing industry, whereas New South Wales could hardly be spoken of as a manufacturing colony. Vet in 1887 New South Wales employed in her man ufacturing industries 45,783 hands out of a population of 1,000,000, with a machin- i ery of 20,152 horse-power, while Victoria 1 employed 45,773, with a machinery <>f 21,018 horse-power, showing a surplus in I favor of New South Wales —small, it is true, but still a surplus. It is impossible, ; indeed, to resist the conclusion that the ; progress of one colony has been ham pered by protection, while the progress of the other has been furthered by free trade. Should good seasons return, and the affairs of the country be carefully and economically managed, there is no fear that New South Wales will ever give up the policy under which her prog- ! less has been so plk#iioraenal. Jm Laltor Becoming; 111 different ? Commenting upon the convention of j N. T. A. 135, held at Wilkes-Barre last week, the Newsdealer has the following ! to say, and it cannot be denied that is, unfortunately, too true: That the con vention was a success we haven't the ! least doubt; but just what impression it j will leave upon the miners of this section ; time alone will tell. Strictly speaking it! was a foreign body; that is to say its j representatives were "foreign," but its j principles were not. It was a gathering I of men interested in the mining of i bituminous coal and the manufacture of j coke. The anthracite miners were with out representation and the new officers elected for the ensuing year are all soft coalmen. In calling attention to these facts we do not wish to create the im pression that there has been any dis crimination in the distribution of offices. I Not at all. On the contrary we would call the attention of our own miners and ' laborers to their apathy and indifference, j The fact that they were without repre-! sentation in the convention is convincing j proof in itself that they arc dead to the ! great principles that United Labor ad vo- j cates. The mass meeting at Nanticoke on Thursday evening, which was attend- j ed by a corporal's guard, when it should i have been attended hv thousands, was not only humiliating to the officers of the ; convention who went there in a friendly | spirit to give their advice and experience i to their brother toilers, but it was an | insult to labor itself. The only explana-! tion we can give for the indifference dis-j played on the occasion is that the work- j ingmen of this part are not in sympathy j with organized labor. Probably the i theory is correct that the men of this I section of the anthracite region are dis-1 heartened over the failures of the past I and are determined never to enter a miners' union again. Or probably the statement which Representative Wil- I liams made at the meeting gives a clue to the cause of the non-attendance of the toilers. Mr. Williams said that he had heard two laborers remark "that nobody but fools would go to the meet ing." If such are the sentiments of the laboring classes of this community—and . we hope for the cause of labor that they are not—then it is about time that the . wise fools made a contract witli the coal p companies to deliver themselves over to t their grasp, body and soul. If it is fool- j s ish for labor to agitate for its rights, 1 then let agitation come to an end. Let! . us hear no more about the giant powder j monopoly, let us hear no more about the . much-abused docking boss who strains I his conscience every hour in the day to 4 give the toiler the benefit, let us hear no C more about the rapacious boss and un derstrapper who rules with an autocratic 3 will in the breast. Let us turn a deaf p ear to all of them. Only fools will med j die with such questions. Labor in the 3 anthracite coal region wants no protcc j tion. Labor lias said so itself. It's , only the fools who are looking for pro tection. Correspondence From the Capital. WASHINGTON, Sept. 24, 1880. "What will be the tendency of legisla -3 tion this session?" asked your corres ! pondent of a member of the coining ! Congress, whose prominence in the , Democratic party makes his views worth . reporting. "Your question cannot be . answered very satisfactorily," said this > gentleman, "until we see what the President recommends in his message, i hut there are several matters that lam certain will be before Congress for its action. The Army and Navy both re quire a good deal of legislation. There is a very general sentiment among Demo crats that one of the tilings thisaduiinis ; tration must continue to do is recreate the naval service. Yes, I used the word recreate advisedly, the work must not stop and it must he overhauled com pletely and restored to the position it occupied among the world's fleets before the war. The Democratic party has always been the friend of the two services. I will tell you what I am in ; favor of, and 1 presume I may fairly say that the average Democratic Con • gressman feels about as I do. In the first place, we intend, if the Administra- I I tion will permit it, to rebuild the Navy. All these ideas have to grow. We Demo l crats have declared in Congress and to t the people for the past ten years that we | \ believed a navy such as the dignity of | the American Republic demanded was ! an absolute necessity, and that if we j • ever came into power this was one of the first things we meant to have done. 1 [ There is not a Democrat of any promi- j - nence in either House who has not made j 1 this declaration some time or other. It I might have been attempted before we I , did if the naval experts could have ; i agreed upon the kind of ships wanted. ; " I That seems to he settled at last, and now j J j we are ready to go to work and aid a ' | Republican administration to complete i what we began. I am in favor of the | construction of thirty more new ships of war, in addition to those being built, j That would give us a fleet of sixty men i of-war of the best kind." 1 The mayor of Williamsport, having s I learned that the money raised in Man- j s Chester, N. 11., for the Conemaugh suf " ferers had been drawn upon, writes to ' the mayor of Manchester, appealing for a portion of the money, lie says the • people of the Williamsport section have ' been badly treated; that their losses will . exceed $8,(MX),000; that they have re . ceived but SIOO,OOO from the $2,000,000 ' donated, and that much suffering exists. ) THE NEW PHONOCRAPH. A View of It* Operation* When In Ful' ItliiMt In tlie Newspaper Ottloe. Etlison claims that his new phouo- I graph, a few of which arc now on the market, is going to work a revolution in newspaper oflices. The editor or reporter will talk what ho has to say right into the phonograph. The metal strip which receives the remarks,which Mr. Edison calls the phonogram, but which probably should more properly be called the gilder-iluko, is then re moved aud sent to the composing room, where it will be inserted in the compositor's phonograph, lie will press a lover with his foot, and the machine will casually mention ten words, and then relapse into deep thought, till he ! sets them and ropoats the perform- j auce. If ho doesn't catch the remarks he kicks another lever and the ma- j chine repeats. All this has a very interesting ap- ; poaranco at a distance, but it does not j seem as if the composing-room will be altogether free from trouble, even when there is au able phonograph wearing a swallow-tail coat and opera front vest, sitting up on every case, dictating scholarly editorial and graph ic descriptive matter. It will make the composing-room partake some thing of the nature of an anarchists' j meeting to have half a dozen phono graphs in au elocutiouary voice talk ing oif editorials, while twice as many aro rolliug out editorial matter, and another gang are making very oarncst remarks about tno markets, and still another lot are roaring out I the advertisements. When one of the editorial machines begins to get deep ly in earnest and puts one baud under its coat-tails, swells out its breast and throws back its head and begins to talk very loud about "A Crying Need of the Hour, 1 ' it will only help to con fuse matters. So also will the Gov ernment chemist in the baking powder advertisement, and the reduction sale dry goods announcements; when these phonographs begin to paw tie case, ! and howl and occasionally shootout an | electrotype cut of a new summer suit i or something, and take the compositor in the ear, aud knock him down and \ then get mad because he isn't up and I at work, it is going to make exciting j times. While the unsuspecting phonograph | is leaning over and pouring its ten i words in to the compositor's ear he j will forget, and make his well-known j and heated remarks abouL the lean- | ness of the type or unsatisfactory character of his •Make," or he will make overtures to another compositor j looking toward the loan of some to bacco, ami the phonograph will take , it and mix it up with an editorial on '•The Progress of Church Work," and he will set it this way and subse quently the earnest, glowing swear word of the proof-reader will bo noted as it tloats out from another room. Then one of thoso excitable nervous men will be working on a case with a ! quick, impulsive phonograph, aud the foot lever will break, or somothiug, and the phonograph will go right on talking, aud he will try to set as fast I as it can talk. The casual spectator ; will observe a tall, round-shouldered man, with no suspenders on, humping I down over the case and making des i perate and lightning-like grabs after 1 letters out of two boxes at oneo. The air wdl be filled with type Hying in all directions, and above the roar of the phonograph, galioping along on a ca ble dispatch full of Russian Generals 1 names will bo heard the red, molten remarks of an excitable, nervous com positor. The type in the air will grow j thicker, pieces of the partitions bo i tweeu the boxes will join the cloud, the nervous man will double over still j more and clutch whole handfulls of ' "e's" and throe-em spaces and hurl 1 them up to the ceiling, scrape down ! the upper-case, tearing away the boxes, all the time yelling "stopper 'erl" to which the machine will only reply with a hoarse, hollow laugh, till at last he will seize it, aud tear it from its place, and beat the floor with the helpless raachanism till it becomes a shapeless mass, and hasn't a word to say, and till the tall, excitable com positor has to bo bo carried away to the hospital. Such scenes as these will tend to disturb the harmony of the composing room and cause friction. Again, when the editor is pour- I ing his tale into a phonograph, per | haps a door will slam, for instance, and the faithful instrument will record it; and when it is repeated for the compositor, if ho doesn't happen to fully understand the thing, lie will stand there all night trying to set that slam. This will cause loss of time, and more friction and profanity, and on the whole there is going to be more trouble with the phonograph in the composing room than there is now with the dark, mysterious, unknowa ble specimens of penmauship at pres ent turned out by the editor, who claims that he used to set type with Horace Greeley,and has been frequent ly roused out of a sound sleep in the middle of the night to And the elder Bennett standing by his bedside wait ing with a perplexed air to ask his ad j vice on somo knotty journalistic point. A careful estimato of the Chinese in San Francisco places the number at I 40,000. The effect of this population upon the prosperity of the city is thus stated by a local paper: "Theso 40,- 000 Chinese earn at least one dollar a day each, over and above their board. That is $-10,000 per day, or $1,400,000 for caeii month of twenty-six days. That is over $12,000,000 per year which is being dfained through various Chinese channels from a city of 800,- 000 inhabitants. The most of this money each year, directly or indirectly, goes to China, uovor to return." There is an old colored cobbler in Hartford, Conn., named A. I®. Clog gett, who has for twentv-fivo years devoted himself to collecting and studying the history of rare copper coins. Ilis son is the champion check er player of the state. Mr. Cloggett's collection of coins comprises a nearly conipleto set of pennies issued from 1793 to 1856. His collection is very valuable aud contains many coins al most impossible to obtain. His group of British coppers is very interesting. Some of them date as far back as 1700, Mr. Cleggett is always glad to wol i come a well-informed numismatist. In the Auditorium.

Laborers are arriving in large num bers to work on the Nicaragua Canal. Roversiblo pants, to correct the "bagging," are propose by a beneficent tailor of Akrou, Ohio. A young lady in Wheeling claims to have refused forty offers of marriage during the past year. An Akron plumber found sixteen dead rats in a house which, the owner said, "smelt of sower gas." A society lady of East Liverpool, Ohio, puts her pet poodlo dog's hair up in curl papers every night. A strange and fatal disease has ap peared in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Vic tims fall in the street, vomit foam and blood, and die. The agent of a Broome county,N.Y., Bible Society has discovered that there are 124 families in the county who do not possess a Bible. David Campbell, a puddler of Lan caster, Pa., has a ferret farm, and sells a good many of the animals to persons who want them to kill rats. Lawrence Barrett is annoyed because he is growing fat. Hois uot a tall man, and he cannot afford to weigh much more than he does at present. At a concert in Wilkesbarre, Pa., while every one was applauding, a littlo child exclaimed: "Oh, mamma, see all the big men pattycaking." A watermelon farm at Adams Park, Ga., consists of 800 acres and produces 400 car-loads of melons, is said to bo the largest watermelon patch in the world. There are five girls in one of the Humphries families of Fleming county, Kentucky, and their names are Arkan sas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Florida and Virginia. It is reported that the Russian gov ernment intends to buy all the Polish railways and transform them into state railways on account of their strategical importance. The cemetery at Sea Cliff, N. Y., has been closed because there is so little use for it—only fifteen burials in four years, and the receipts not equal to the expenditures. An Eastou paper says Charles Zinc has an amorpnophallus plant, the only one of the kind in that sectiou. The i odor of the llower is that of stale raw meat, but its color is beautiful. James Buchanan, of Ashtabula 1 county, Ohio, cuts his hair in a very peculiar manner. Ho shaves all his head short, except a ridge from his forehead to the back of his neck. On the death of Jacob Kimes, of Columbia, lately, his hunting dog would touch no food until the funeral was over, and his parrot, which had ; been garrulous, has not spoken a word since. Tlio Paris dressmakers aro said to bo determined oil the complete annihi lation of tlio bustle. The simplest drapers are now the most stylish. Fashion at least accords with common sense. A richly decorated sign on Howard street, leaning against the chair of one of the many street "professors" of tlio city, informs passers-by that there is "the only artistic ebonizcr of foot gear in Boston." A tramp called at an Oil City, Pa., blacksmith shop, frankly asked the price of a drink, wns givun 25 cents, returned shortly with 16 cents change and disappeared without waiting fur commendation of his conduct It is said of a Canadian mother who died the other day: "She was a truo wife, a fond mother, and so managed affairs as to marry off her nine girls beforo any other female in the neigh borhood could even get a beau." Recent Australian papers announeo the liudiug of a nugget weighing 336 ounces and valued at £1.360. It was found near Wedderburu, Victoria, by a young Australian named Costa Clo vich, who had only recently arrived in the colony. The English languago is pervading the earth. Most of the large cities of Europe, and many small ones, now have their English newspaper. Nice, Dresden, Munich, Berlin, Paris, Rome, Naplos, Geneva and many others have one or two. Phonograph parties aro novel enter tertainments at the summer resorts. Dancing is carried on by music pro duced by the instrument, and when that is wearisome speeches and reci tations through the phonograph en tertain the company. An lowa man advertised in western papers that he wanted good reliable men to sond him $1 each, for which he would send "5 ones, 3 twos, 2 lives and 1 ten." He kept his agreement, but sent postage stamps iustead of dollars. Now he is in jail. A "railroad regiment" has now been added to the French army, and tho minister of war is about to set it at work constructing an experimental line within a given time. The regi ment is oxpocted to do everything con nected with the laying of the line. Tho jawbone of a huge monster has been unearthed recently at tho Wauohula, Fla., phosphate beds. It measures eighteen inches in length, and about seven in width. Some of tho teeth are six or scvon inches long and two or throe inches in diameter. A Philadelphia dealer, not being able to sell even a single pair of shoes of a certain grade at sl, thought to mark thorn down to cost. Instead of doing so, however, he took the advice of his crand bov and added 25 cents to tlio price and they went off like hot cakes. It has boon calculated that tho rail roads of the world aro worth nearly $300,000,000,000, or about one-tenth of tho wealth of the civilized nations, or more than a quarter of their invested capital. At this rate all the ready money in the world would buy about one-third of them. An old farmer on tho coast of Maine, in tho vicinity of Bar Harbor, watched with deop intorest the projects of a wealthy land owner, who had built an elegant summer cottage and was buy ing up real estate right and left. "I declare," exclaimed he, "I don't bo liovo but what ho won't bo satisfied till he buys up all tho land that jinets him." The Osage-tribo of Indians is said to be the richest nation in the world. Tlio tribe numbers 1,501 men, women and children. They have in the United States Treasury $7,758,694 of theirowu money, drawing 6 per cent intorest. But bosides this they have 1,470,000 acres of land, equal to just 1,000 acres apiece. This land would sell for $lO an acre, or SIO,OOO for each individual portion. This makos each Indian worth $15,171. This wealth is a curse 10 them and the trine JS CJO" LOST! LOST! Anybody needing Queensware and won't visit our Bazaar will lose money.
