Our Recommendation a few weeks ago of
farm work for women has met, as we ex-
pected, unquahhsd approval from the classes
best able to judge of its practicability; we
mean the farmers thsnselves, and the agri-
cultural press in the Wess, where the manage
ment of land by women is no novel expert
ment, but an everyday matter The women
in the cities, however, who Profess to be
starving for work, and their seli-appointed
spokesmen, find lions innumerable in the
path. We are assailed by countless obiec-
tions, the gist of which appears to be, that
they have not the necessary land nor educa,
tion to become truck-raisers, farmers, or
florists. There is nothing for which We have
more respect or tenderness than the timidity
which assails delicate woman in her first
essay to earn her own livelihood; hence we
suggested this especial work as pre-eminently
fitted to those who, while compelled to labor,
preferred to keep about them the sheltering
privacy of guarded home life. But nodestS
and want of energy differ in t0to. The objee-

SHALL WE CARRY PENNSYLVANIA
NEXT FALL?

From the Lancaster (PG) Intelligencer.
Shall we carry Pennsylvania next fall
This is question which the coming State
Convention must decide. Much, very much,
will depend upon the character of the cand-
dates A mistake in the selection of our
nominee for Auditor General may easily con-
vert all our fair prospects of success into as
surances of defeat. The Office of Auditor
General is one of decided Importance, and the
people of this State are just now in such
peculiar mood that some little thing in the
political history or the personal character of
the candidates may determine whether De-
mocrat or Republican shall be elected.
The Democracy must put forward one of
their very best men for Auditor-General. He
must be no political hack with battered
renutation. He must, above all things else,
be man of the most unquestioned and un-
questionable integrity-a pure, honest, high
minded gentleman. Suppose, for instance,
some man who has won for himself an unen-
yiable reputation in the State Legislature
should be nominated? Does any one sup
nose he could be elected? For such a one it
would be impossible to rally the Democratic
party, and the many Republicans who are
now ready to unite with us would be repelled
and driven back into the ranks of that organ
ization which they are disposed to abandon.
The character of their candidate for Auditor
General may very readily make difference
of ten thousand votes TO tne Democratic
party at the coming State election, and may,
so far as this great State goes, decide the
Presidential contest against us in advance.
There must be no blunder committed IN
this important matter. Delegates must go tc
Harrisburg, for once, prepared to lay aside
their personal preferences. No man shoule
be voted for merely because he is a good fel
low with pleasant way of soliciting support
The fact that man has been laying plans
and pulling wires to secure the nomination
for Auditor eneral ought to be considered {
very strong argument against him. The ofhc
is peculiarly one not to be eagerly sought
The salary is not large, and the duties are
such as ought to engage mans whole tim'
and attention. 1t is emphatically an offic
which ought to seek the man instead OF bein
sought after.
If there be Democrats who imagine tha
we shall carry this State next fall without
severe struggle, we tell them very plainly thS
they are much mistaken. The Republican
see and feel that they can not afford to los
PENNSYLVANIA in this the year which immed
ately precedes the Presidential contest. III
whole power of the national administratio
will be put forth, and money will be supple
in profusion to prevent a Democratic triumph
We do not despair of being able to achieve
glorious victory. We have it in our power
do so. We shall not lose hope or abate Of
confidence if the convention gives us Il
right kind of candidates for Auditor and Su
veyor-G General. Upon its action hang ii
hopes of the Democratic party in this Stat
and it may be throughout the country.

INCREASING THE ARMY.
From the N. Y. Sun.

From the NJ Y. Sun.
1t is remarkable how President Grants
favorite measures all look to the increase of
the army and of the public expenditures.
There is his San Domingo swindle, in connec-
ton with which he has concentrated half
the navy around that island for use on the side
of Baez in his civil war. If the Job of an
nexation should be put through, we should
have at once to raise and send out force of
twenty-five thousand men to fight the Hay
items and the Dominican rebels Then here
is Grants Ku-klux bill, now before the House
OF Representatives. 1t is based on the as
sumption that a rebellion exists in the South
and, if it becomes law, it will require a
large and immediate increase of the army to
execute its provisions.
If we are to have q suspension of the ha-
beas corpus and the proclamation of martial
law wherever there is q murder or riot in that
portion of the country, an addition of twenty
thousand men to the army is the smallest
number that will suffice to give effect to the
Presidential DEGREES which this law will en-
power General Grant to issue. If Congress
proves sufficiently subservient to enact this
Ku-klux law at the dictation of the President,
how can 1T refuse to give him the necessary
means for carrying it into effect?
Are the people prepared for this? Do
they believe that the Southern States are in
rebellion against the National Government

field this new force of twenty thousand men
for warlike operations, calling for lavish ex-

terror through ten States of the Union, and
clothing Grant with larger powers than Lin
coin was intrusted with when the North was
resisting an armed Confederacy embracing
ten millions of people?

He has pushed Congress to the verge of
the precipice; but is it not time for the
Republicans in the House of Representatives,
before which this dangerous measure is pend
ing, to pause and reflect whittier their steps
are tending? Fifteen or twenty Republicans
in that body can defeat this unnecessary and
unprecedented bill. Let them do this, and
thus save their party by thwarting the machi-
nations of man who is running the great
organization which, in confding hour, in

STATE OF MAINE.


The Governor learns with surprise and pain that
the recent visit of the Capital Guards" to the
Portland Light Infantry" was made the occasion
of unworthy and dsorlcrly behavior on the part c
same concerned. The brief space of this Official
.erm remaining, forbids the commitment Of the
matter to the slow process of regular military
tribunal, and compels summary notice from him.
The Capital Guards, this visit appeared in
their organized capacity. The occasion not,
indeed, one strictly Of duty but the company wore
the and uniform OF the State, and were in a
peculiar manner guardians of her honor and good
name. Especially was it the duty of the Captain
and Orderly Sergeant to bear themselves and SO
to control and for their men, that breach OF
discipline and decorum would be committed. This
was responsibility they could not avoid, and the
neglect of it was a military and moral offence
which compels the expression of grave censure.
Only portion of the company was at fault but the
good fame of the whole is furnished; and the nno.
cent members must not take 1t amiss if along with
the disgrace, and as the only available means of
recovery, they have to suffer share OF the penalty
for the sake of the good thereby be accomplished
The Capital Guards in accordance with the
spirit and intent of General Order, No.. Series of
1862 are hereby placed on probation and their
tinuance in the service will be determined by their
future department as observed and reported by the
Inspector General.
1t appears that the refreshments furnished by the
Light Infantry TO their guests not altogether
of proper character, which renders that Company
responsible for portion of the indecorum under
notice, and in so far, deserving of reproof.
1t should be clearly understood by the companies
now comprising effective military, that oeca-
SONS Of parade orpastime do not warrant drunken
ness and disorder, and that such shanes will not
ba toi cd shn he
of honor and nlanliness, and if they to become
instruments to tempt young to wrong and dis
grace, they had better be stricken from the rolls of
the service.
1t is with sorrow that the Governor makes his last
official communication with troops for which he has
taken such interest and pride, of reprnand
and warning. This may be more salutary, how
ever, than formal compliment

strongest terms, in practical and plain re-
marks, which ought to make an impress
sion.
Our water power and manufactures are
subjects that demand attention. To i'm
prove the former and increase the latter
we must make suitable cxertion. Our adj
vantages are beginning to be appreciated,
and with our liberal laws and other in
ducements, capital is beginning to come in
and occupy our privileges. 1t is recon-
mended as a measure still farther to pro-
mote the establishment of manufactures
to authorize towns to encourage them by
subscription or loan of credit.
In regard to protection to our industrial
pursuits. the message speaks quite de-
cidedly. 1t favors such revenue reforms
as will secure economy, lessen the duties
upon the necessaries Of life and such i'm
portant articles rs do not come into COM
petition with our own products, and so
arrange the tariff us to protect and pro-
mote home industry. The Governor
would approve of no measure that will
degrade American labor or lessen its re-
ward.
The condition of our railroads is spoken
Of with satisfaction, and the extension of
our system is encouraged. There should
be ne jar between the stockholders and
managers Of the roads and the people
their interest: are the same. Let the rail
roads have all the facilities they need, the
grant of which will not be dangerous to
the public welfare
The immigration of the Swedish colony
is mentioned, which appears by the report
of the Commissioner to be successful. 1t
is thought this immigration will now nat
urally continue, and the message trusts
the immigrants will not be confined to
Aroostook, but be allowed to go into other
parts of the State and engage in various
kinds of labor.
Our shipping interests are treated at
some length. and the hope expressed that
Congress may do something to relieve the
disabilities under which they labor, by re-
moving unfricndly legislation.
The message advocates biennial elec-
tons and sessions Of the Legislature, also
a change in the day of holding our State
elections to the day on which the presiden-
tial election occurs.
Our Jail system should be improved. and
more efforts given to the reformation Of
criminals. Jails should not be crowded
and hardened offenders should not be al
lowed to associate with new and young
offenders. Attention should be given to
their moral and religious wants.
The unfriendly course of the New Do
minon in relation to our fishermen is no.
ticed, and the hope expressed that it will
not continue and that friendly relations
may be established.
An industrial school for girls is recon-
mended, the Governor believing that there
is no more need of 4 reformatory institu-
ton for boys than for girls. In conclusion
he pledges his best efforts in behelf Of the
State.
The reading of the message was listened
to with the closest attention, and COM
manded the general approval of all who
heard it. We shall refer again to some of
its recommendations.

DON JUAN PRIH.

The death of General Prim by the hand of
which cannot be too severely rebuked. When
public men have assassination held before
them as a continual threat, the number who
will dare to stand for the right against the
clamor of faction or popular opposition will
be materially lessened This man had his
failings, but assassination has made him
stronger dead than living, and overshot itself,
as it generally does in such cases. His career
has been remarkable. For thirty years he
has been actively and prominently connected
with every revolution in Spain.
Don Juan Prm, Count de Reus and Mar
quis de los Castellejos, was born at Reus, on
the 10th of December, 1914. He first be-
came distinguished during the Christina and
| Carlist wars. In the civil wars which fol-
lowed the accession of Isabella in 1898, he
was devoted to the cause of the Regent
Maria Christina, and was promoted in 1887
to the grade of Colonel. Afterward he was
concerned in the hostile movements of the
Progressists against the dictatorship Of Es-
having taken part in the instruction at Sara
gossa in November of 1871. He escaped
| conviction by fleeing into France, where he
| occupied himself in making preparations for
the return of Donna Maria. Named in 1912
as deputy to the Cortes by the city OF BARGE
Iona, he returned to Spain, where he entered
the alliance against Espartero formed by
Christina and the Progressists. In May of
| that year he led the rebellion at Reus, his
| native town, where he himself issued pro-
nunciamento. Driven from Reus by Eur
bano to the city of Barcelona, he there
pushed the rebellion. The fall of Espartero
and the victory of Donna Maria brought him
the grade of General, with the title of Count
De Reus and the Governorship of Madrid.
| However, the alliance between the moderates
and the democrats soon dissolved, and the
reaction commenced at Barcelona in favor of
liberal principles. The popularity of General
! prim was relied on TO pacify the country, but
he found it necessary to employ force, AMI
was disputed for nearly whole year at Cata-
lonia by his old comrade, Amettla. Regard
ed as traitor by the people, he was soon
disgraced by the Queen, who had not forgot
ten his liberal principles.
He was arrested and accused of conspir-
acy to assassinate Narvaez and to overthrow
the government He was acquitted OF the
former but convicted of the latter, and sem
fenced to six years imprisonment. At the So
licitation of his mother, he remained for nine
years stranger to the exciting politics of his
country. In 1853 he joined the Turkish ar
my in the war against Russia, in order to
renew his popularity with the people. The
first advantages gained by the Turks on the
Danube were attributable to him. Absent
during the revolution of 1854, he was recalled
to Spain. by his election to the Cortes, where
he acted from the first with the Progressists,
