terday we gave table of Pennsylvania
returns and estimates. which Gn spite Of typo
graphical errors in Luzerne and west
morcland Contes) appeared to indicate
small Republican majority. We have re-
vised our figures by the little light afforded
in the absence of exact returns, and
now foot up a small Democratic majority.
We take the highest Democratic estimates and
returns for the counties voting on Their SIDE
and make liberal allowance for the reductions
in the other column, and feel convinced that
there is no reasonable doubt of Sharswoods
election. Some of our friends in Pennsylvania
still cling to the hope that the official count
will bring us out all right; but we have no
faith in such a result. The best adyices con-
cerning the Legislature put the Senate 20 Re
publicans to 13 Democrats, and the house 90 to
49, making Republican majority of II on

1t will not be difficult, we believe, to har-

the Geneva Congress desired to establish with
the universal republican alliance" which
Mazzini wishes to extend throughout Europe.
The main point is full understanding between
and hearty cooperation of the Progressive
party in the several countries of Europe. That
a thorough organization will largely add to the
strength of the party in every particular

MONT1NA.

There is an old story told of the Wunderberg
and its marvels. SplendOrs of wealth were
locked up in the heart of the mountain, and a
palace awaited its discoyerer. The allegory
resolves itself into fact when we read of our
distant mineral lands-fact hard and dry as
gold in the leads but bright enough for the
lambent light of fiction to play upon. The pick
of the yagabond miner is the key to the door
of our Wunderberg, and in the gold that he
gathers are the palaces of New-1ork and the
treasury of the United States. His wonder
mountain exists, though he has to live IN
hovel at its foot, and his FL Dorado is not less
rich because a wild enterprise is required to
find it. and a rude energy to so strike the
rock that it shall utter its gold. There Is ter
rible prose in the history of mining, but 1t Is
possible to turn it into very useful poetry with
the help of a machine.
This is an interesting letter which we receive
from our correspondent in Montana. Much rs
we have heard of the resources of the Terri
tory. this additional statement contains rcvela-
ton. We did not know that the chances OF
working good leads were prodigal, yet 1t Is the
truth which our correspondent represents in
saving that hundreds of good, well-tested leads
VI
directed capital to make them produce salts
factorily. Bsdy constructed mills have been
saved from failure by the bOundessness OF the
wealth around them. Nine out of ten OF the
mills now being erected are assured OF posi-
tive success; and we are informed that
SJOO00O prudcntly devoted to mining in the
territory would justify the erection OF l,OOO
frst-class mills next season. The old fear
of wildcat mines casts its shadow over honest
speculation, but "the mill in Montana that
"docs not pay wants a change of management"
Frauds and sharp practice in this direction
are rs likely to occur in Montana as elsewhere,
among those who are eager to fool and to be
fooled but the simplicity and abundance OF
the ores in Montana our correspondent does
not permit us to doubt. Those who adventure
money in the way of the mines have TO ascer-
tain that the corporations having it at disposal
are under trustworthy control. This aside,
there can be no question of the value OF the
prospect held out in Montana, and it needs but
comparatively little capital to purchase It's I'M
mcnse wealth, aud make it yield an account
TO the nations credit.

that the proposed sum of Fifty thousand dollars has

should be contributed at once and before Mr. Garri-

may be taken to present to him the completed Testi-

THE REcoNsrRUc1Ioy or EUROPE.


The central idea which suggested the hold
ing of the recent Peace Congress at Geneva,
and inspired all its proceedings, was the CON
viction that most of the great wars which have
dcsoatcd Europe sprang from motives which
10 free nations should be unknown, and
that the establishment OF liberal lnslltu-
tions throughout Europe would be the surest
harbinger of n universal and everlasting peace.
Prominent representatives of most OF the great
nations of Europe were present, and their
views on national questions showed a very
promising harmony. Frcnchmcn and Germans,
Poles and Russians appeared here, not as nat
ural and irrcc0ncable enemies, but rs CO.
workers for one aim, who felt convinced that
the sovereign rights of every nation can he
fully secured without intruding upon those of
others.
Enough of uhe great men of Europe have
given their adhesion TO the idea OF Radl-
cal Peace Congresses to secure the holding
of similar meetings in future years. The Gene
va meeting being the first of its kind, many
of the leading Liberals have not found time yet
to define their position. Only n few have pro-
tested. One of these few is Mazzini, whose dis
senting view on this Congress was given i'll
our ISSUE OI AlOH'hl' @AS i'S"i"S 'i' "i'''
aim of the Progressive party in Europe, he Is,
of course, in hearty sympathy with the men IN
Geneva But he thinks it inexpedient to speak
of International Peace before the great obsta-
cles of Peace have been removed. Most OF the
demands of the Congress, he insists, can be
carried through only by an International Con-
gress of free Republics. No one nation,
for instance, in Europe, can abolish stand
ing armies without placing itself at the
mcrcics of others. He objects to a policy
of on-ntcrvention. As despOtisms have aided
each other in crushing liberty, so he wishes the
several nations to aid each other i'll overthrow
ing the monarchcal rule everywhere As OBJ
jects of European policy for which all who nate
oppression should unite, he specifies the re-
establishment of Poland, the completion OF
German unity, Of Italian unity, OF Greek
unity, Danuban Confederation substituted
for the Austrian Empire, an Eastern Switzer-
land i'll place of the Turkish Empire in Europe,
q Scandinavian union, an lberian union liberty
of France-in aword, the United States of Eu-
rope, a permanent International Congress SUI
preme.
From this statement of the views OF Mazzm
it will appear that the points III which he al
fers from the men assembled in Geneva are not
of a very radical nature. Mazzini thinks 1t IN
expedient to discuss the new organization OF
Europe before the old one has been destroyed
The men of Geneva hope that the discussion
of the future ideal organization OF Europe may
be servceable i'll the destruction OF the
present. Mazzini wishes to organize the
Radical party of Europe for common hSht
against the monarchics. The leaders OF the
Geneva Congress are of opinion that non
