will that has ruled the actions of men who
never were controlled By lore ofHe people,.
This noble Declaration is a little mixed, when
viewed from the syntactical standpoint; but
for all that, it is easy to see that the Irwin
clbles are dead in earnest and have made up
their minds to cause a great deal of trouble
to the men who gave ''the last stab to ago
nlzlng Affection who throw ''rods of iron"
around with perfect looseness, who ''regard
the masses of the people as Asses" and who
finally, in defiance of Saint Paul and con-
tempt of the equality of the races, get them
selves into the "ark of office, simply because
it is such fiat place, aud has accommoda-
tions for whole families
From all this it will be seen that Scovel has
two big jobs on hand. But with Susan b.
Anti ony and Theodore Tilton to back him up
in the onslaught upon generic mankind at
large, and the doughty Invincibles of Camden
to support him in the crusade against those
shameless fellows over the river, it needs no
prophet nor son of prophet, to divine the
propitious result.

In LANCASTER County, the stronghold of
Republicanism, the Crawford county system
of making nominations by a popular vote
prevails and Saturday last was the day set
apart for these primary elections AS the
records of the old members of the Legisla-
ture were thoroughly canvassed, it is believed
that not one of them was renominated, while
Billingfelt, the State Senator who exposed
and resisted their extravaganza, carried the
county by a majority of nearly two thousand.
There is no doubt that the Republicans of
Philadelphia ought to have adopted the policy
which their brethren in Lancaster county
have enforced, but since they neglected to do
this, it is not too late yet to throw our six
Jonahs overheard. Every man of them
ought to be defeated. Let the voters look
out sharply for Stokes, Davis, Hong, Bum,
Cloud and Adaire.

Whiiher Tending.

Senator MORTON, of Indiana, in a
speech at Pittsburgh, undertook to
characterize the platform Of the two
parties. Said he:
The Democratic and the Republican
platforms, taken together, resemble a
double mile-post that part of the mile
post that looks backward tells yon
where YOU came from, and how far you
have gone. That is the Democratic
party. The other side of the mlle.post
is the Republican. That looks forward,
aud tells you how far you have togr.
Thus he ended his speech, and did
not tell his hearers whore the Radical
platform was to take them. This omls-
sion is, however, supplied by what the
veteran Scotch author, THOMAS CAR
LYLE. said to q correspondent of the
New York Tribune, who tried to get from
him a compliment to Radical pro
gress." CARLYLE said:
CAS- sure as the Lord reigus, you are
rushing down TO hell with desperate
velocity. The scum of the world has
got possession of your country, ana
nothing can save you from the devils
clutches. Not, perhaps, cried ne, rais-
ING his voice to its shrillest notes, "a hell
bnrnipg with material fire and brlm-
stone, but the wide welterlng merry
chaos of corruption i'll high places, ana
the misrule of the people,"

He studied at the Universities of Frank
fort on the OLor and GDttingen, and
mostly in Berlin. His first work ap'
peared in l.96, being treatise on the
Basalts of the Rhine. Together with
George Foster he made trip through
Belgium, Holland, England and France,
which gave him a passion for seafaring
and a desire to visit the tropics. Upon
his return to Germany he desired TO
make himself acquainted with meroan-
tile routine and the modern languages,
and therefore repaired TO mercantile
academy at Hamburg. Soon, however
he changed his career, aud engaged III
practical mining. He went TO the acah-
envy al Freiburg, where be wrote Latin
work on the subterraneaR flora of Frel,
burg, and aphorisms on the chemical
physiology of plants. Together with
Freiesleben, he made the first geog'
nostic description of one of the Bohe'
mian mountain ranges. For FIVE years,
from 1892 to 1877, he was engaged as
assessor in the mining districts Of the
msrgraviate of Baireuth, and as superior
mining officer of the Fichtelbirge, dur
ing which term of office he explored the
mining districts of Upper Bavaria, Sail
