Editorial. FAIR PLAY IN POLITICS. It is only natural that there should be some discontent following the ac tion of every political convention. The defeated aspirants are apt to feel that their claims have been too little considered, and that less doser ving men have been preferred for the honors, but when there has been a fair submission and the will of the people ascertained by proper methods, uninfluenced by tricks and schemes, the defeated parties are generally willing to yield to the pop ular will without great murmoring. The innate sense of justice which controls the spirit of every true citi zen leads to this result, and should one be found so conceited in his own mind or vindictive in heart as to con tinue his candidacy without other reason then his own dissatisfaction With the result, the outcome is , usually disastrous, as it should be, to his ambitions. The people as a rule are right in those matters, and as they are the arbiters it is better to bow to their decision with the best possible grace. This is predl oated on the assumption that each candidate has been judged solely on his merits, and that the people have passed judgment on his claims un influenced by extraneous ciroum stanoes or without being deoelved in their action by others with ulterior motives and objects. No party can thrive and grow when its leaders, so called, work with the sole objeot of promoting their own selfish schemes and ambitions, without regard to the rights or foelings of deserving and worthy aspirants. Nor will any party thrive and grow, or command the respect and support of the mass es and thus build itself on a surer foundation from year to year whose leaders da not deserve the confidence of the people and do not so mould its policy, or so conduct its delibera tions as to promote confidence in their wisdom and honesty. In the end truth and right will prevail, but justioe may for a long time lie throt tled, as the people may be misguided from tame to time by deceit or ca jo lory. That a party may maintain its ground, be aggressive.foroe respect. increased support and ultimately win confidence and success with the peo pie, it is imperative that it present men as its candidates whose charac ters need no vindication and whose honesty is above suspicion. The statute of limitations may screen from legal conviction but it will not exonerate at the bar of publio opin ion. That same engine of justioe and right which in the end prevails and oftentimes with tardy footetops overtakes a party which is en. trenched in power, and exultant in it majority, will just as surely and relontlossly, disintegrate, crush out, and utterly demoralize a party which attempts to force unworthy mon to position, or which by schemos and tricks accomplishes a present pur pose. The Democratic party of Pike county is ripe for dissolution. It has long prevailed, and there have grown in its bowels, tumors and ex crescences which make the body politio sick. The people begin to feel that it should have its adminis trator appointed, who will wind up its affairs and carry on the business of local and oounty politics in a more energetio and progressive manner. but the people will require credent ials of the party so appointed, that their last state may not be worse than the first. Who would have ventured the as sertion two years ago that the rock- ribbed Democracy of the Eighth Dis trict would crawl from under a crushing condemnation of its policy with a majority of only 197 for its Congressman, and that its majority in this oounty would be shrivelled on the head of the ticket to 832 t With the discontent prevailing this year and the dissensions and distrust evident in the Democratic party, the Republicans should pre sent a united, harmonious and solid front. If it is not so the blame must rest on those grasping party leaders who for selfish ends and the grati fication of personal ambitions and pjtty spites, have thrust themselves forward and made obnoxious that which should be inviting, with a united and hopeful party. DEMOCRACY AND FREE TRADE. "Protection and Prosperity" gives a whole tariff sermon in the conclusion of the chapter on the "Triumph of Democracy and Free Trade" as follows : In concluding this brief review of the triumph of free trade, it is un necessary to point out the many les sons which it teaches. Undor the plea of helping the farmers, undor the claim that consumers would be benefitted, under the pretense that our foreign trade would be extended the manufacturing interests were stricken down. The calamities which have befallen the people should ever stand as a warning against the repetition of the mistake which the American people made in taking advice from visionary and sham reformers. It has been de monstrated that the farmer cannot destroy the manufacturer without inflicting an injury upon himself. The laborer cannot ruin the busi ness of his employer without losing his job. It proves that injury can not befall any one great branch of production without bringing disas ter to every other line of industry within the borders of our country. The industrial life of the nation is like a great temple resting on pillars no one of which can be torn down without bringing the whole struct ure down on the heads of all. It is the dependence of one industry upon another which binds them all to gether and makes protection neces sary for all. As Rosooe Conkling said In his great speeoh in New York September 17th, 1880: "From the wheat fields of Minnesota through the pastures of Texas there is not an acre whose fertility does not benefit New York nor could she profit by misfortune or poverty of a hamlet In all our borders." IF WE STILL HAD THE M'KIN LEY BILL. Although it is not argued that the McKinley bill should be re-enacted exactly as it stood before, yet had it not been repealed the country would not now be suffering as it is to-day, Had the McKinley bill remained in force until now, we should no doubt be able, nearly or quite, to supply our wants. The new and ex, tended mills would have taken men from the. farms, and labor would have been so adjusted as to give the greatest advantage to all. The In creased number of mill hands would have given the fanner a greater and better market, and he would not have to consider as a competitor ,the wheat grower of Russia or the Ar gentine Republic. More of our oot- ton would have been consumed at home to the triple advantage of planter and manufacturer and con gamer of the fabric. Our sheep would have been increased in num ber, and a ready market for our wool been found in the increased production of our mills. The In, creased transportation for cotton and cotton goods, for wool and woolen goods, would have resulted in increased railroad facilities, creat ing a demand for rails and other iron products, which in time would give added employment to the miner And so we might go through the in terminable network of our interde pendent industries, showing how each strengthens the other, how each added fabric of the faotory makes a demand for the product of the farm, the luttor iu turn domaud- ing increased employment at the mill and mine. MUTCHLER'S MARBLE HEART. Ex-Congressman Howard Muteh- lor was asked a few days ago if he thought Congressman Hart would be nominated ? He replied No, I do not think so, The Democrats are not going to let the Republicans elect Judge Kirkpa trick to Congress this year and they will not, there fore, name Mr. Hart as their candi date." He also stated that he is not a candidate and that there would be none from Northampton, indicating It is thought that he will favor Car bon's nominee. The Pennsylvania State College of - f ers exceptional opportunities for the advancement of agricultural knowl edge. The collegiate course occupies four years, but there are special courses which may be taken in a much shorter period. No charge is made tor tuition, and board and other expenses are very low. There is a Chautauqua course which may be takon at home, with no expense except for books.. This comprises home reading in Agriculture, Horti culture and Animal Industry and would be an excellent thing for farm ers' sons and daughters to take, and would occupy the long winter even ings in a pleasant and profitable manner. On application cards and information will be cheerfully furn ished at the Press office. That the silver crowd may have little consolation as to what the West will do, the Sun informs its readers that no harder fight for sil ver and repudiation can be made in Indiana, Michigan or Iowa that that which has been waged and lost in Maine around the very home of the Anarchist candidate for Vice-Presi dent. The sound money Democrats of Pennsylvania nominated Benjamin C. Potts, of Chester, and Hay Walker, jr., of Allegheny City.Con gressmen -at- large, and a full set of Electors-at-large and District-Elec tors. Jeremiah S. Hess, of North ampton, is elector for the Eighth District. It took the New York State Demo crats only four hours last week to transfer themselves into Popocrats. Their efforts will be mainly directed now toward keeping the Republican majority in November below 400, 000. The Detroit Free Press says that never before did a million Democra tic voters and 200 influential Demo oratio papers derive satisfaction from tho report of a great Republi can plurality in Maine. The largest chunk of gold that has ever been in New York was wheeled down Broadway from the Grand Cen tral Depot to the Assay office in Wall street, last week in a common ex press wagon garded by five detec tives. It weighed 4,737 ounces and was worth 185.000. It was shipped by the Bank of Montreal Canada, and belonged to the Cariboo1 mining company of British Columbia.

Governor Morton AMnflcd. Wa arraign tho ndmlnU t ration of Governor Morton and recent KopuMioan lcctMlntures for their extravitgnnt Icfcrl'dtitloii, whereby the state tnxoe have been largely Incrcoeed and the burdena of tho people nntrmonted. Inntoad of reforma, which were promlfwd, there have been flagrant corruption and mlerule; Instead of eoonomy, there han been prodigality; in stead of retrenchment, there has boon Increas ed expenditure: instead of loglnlatlon for the people, there have been proteotlon and favor itism for trusts and monopolies. We charge that the olhce of superintendent of publlo works by the present Incumbent has been notoriously extravagant, corrupt, re gardleas of law and defiant of publio deoenoy. The Republican legislature has multiplied state oommisHtons, Increased salaries, permit ted unneceexary and ruinous apeoial legisla tion almost wlthont limit, suppressed freedom of legislative debate, held secret sessions In volatlon of the constitution and exhibited the frrosaest partisanship, even to the extent of egislatlng out of offloe the nonpartisan man agers of the state hospitals and of other char lteble Institutions of the state. We reaffirm our adherence to the principle of home rule for municipalities. We especial ly denonnoe the Republican policy whloh sanc tioned one kind of legislation for Democratic eltlee and another kind for Republican dtlee, and we Insist upon substantially uniform leg islation for all elttea regardless of partisan considerations. We protest sgainst the repeated violation by Republican state officials of the constitution and laws whloh guarantee preference In the publio servloe to honorably disohnrged soldiers and sailors of the Union army and navy, whereby, under various pretenses and exousee, veterans have been removed from positions without cause In order to make room for po litical favorites. We demand the stiiot and bopeet enforcement of the laws In their bebalf . We recommend the building and mainte nance of a uniform system of good roads throughout the stats, the expense thereof to be equitably divided between the state and respective localities. We reoommend snob a modifloatlon and re vision of the employer's liability end anMeon splraoy laws as will offer equal opportunity and secure eaaet iusMoe to employees and em ployers. Upon these principles and Denotes applicable to state strain we Invite the co-operation of all good erttsens, to the sad that a better ad ministration of the affairs af ear stats may be obtained ; that local self govern meat may be re-established ; that the principle of borne rale for ernes may be enforced ; that fair and boa set iegielattoa may se enaetod : that lower tax rates may be scoured end the true warfare, prosperity and happiness of the people may be promoted.

My desire has been to And a Wny to harmonise thnae views with the elntform declaration and to harmonise my Indtvldunl opinion with the expression of the pnrty oounclls. With these objects m mind 1 have given the questions at lssne oaroful consideration. The result Is I find my mind adhering to the course I took In the senate as the only one consistent with a sound financial policy. "This oonolnslon being fixed, It neces sarily follows that I should not participate In the direction of the campaign as a member of either the national or the state committee. "Justioe to the candidates demands that their cause be In the hands of those who re wlthont doubt as to the correctness of the policy proposed by every plank in the platform. "I hare therefore decided to resign from any leading position in the political man agement of the campaign. In doing this I am governed IV a sense of propriety and not by an Inclination to set up my per sonal Haws as against the expreamd policy af soy partyv But as a Oemoorat, obedient to party Onega, I must and do bow to the vlll ci the majority and unhesitatingly til isss my belief that the people may safety trust Democratic president and congress for whatever legislation may prove neoeeeary for the welfare of the country. .Tanks Smith, Jr." BoDator Smith Is obalrman of the New Jersoy state Democratic committee.
