The One Thing NeedfuI,

We repeat what we have often said
before, that the Democrats of Pennsyl-
vania will never win permanent vic
tory until they learn, and practice upon
the knowledge, the necessity of having
well patronized and more widely cir.
culated press. AS long as Democratic
communities continue to give better
support to the opposition press than to
their party organs, and Republican
Journals are allowed to circulate in the
proportion of ten to one Democratic,
the current of public sentiment will
always be in favor of that organization.
Among the many attempts to explain
away the disasters to the Democratic
cause, this, the most vital reason of all,
Is strangely overlooked. When Demo-
Gratis once wake up to the Importance of
placing their papers on as healthy
basis as those of the enemy, and of Civ
ing them as wide circulation, they
may expect to become the predominant
power, and not before. Let those who
think this is a matter of little imp6f-
tance, step into any news stand, and
ascertain for themselves the proportion
of Journals that are sold representing
the principles of the two parties. After
the inquiry, instead of being surprised
at Republican victories, they will be
more likely to wonder that the Democ-
racy are even able to keep up their Or
ganization.-EG

Gen. Robert Anderson.

Americans generally will be glad to
notice that the War Department has
furnished a refutation of the story that
Brigadier General Robert Anderson,
the hero Of Fort Sumpter, is in distress
and poverty in Geneva, Switzerland, to
which place, it is said, he was compelled
to retire on account of the cheapness of
living, his income not being sufficient
to maintain him in this country. The
correspondent who told that story-a
narrative, by the way, which has been
generally published throughout the
United States-allowed his sympathies
to mislead his judgment and to carry
him off without proper investigation.
The War Department declares that Gen
Anderson receives Si,125 per annum,
which would be quite enough to support
him in the United States, even in the
great cities, in respectable, manner,
and which could be made much more
available in the rural sections, being a
much larger income than hundreds of
thousands of his countrymen enjoy who
get along comfortably, and have good
food and plenty of clothing, and are able
to pay their debts. The effort, in this
case, to show that our country is mean,
has not been successful.-Er.
p. S. Since the foregoing was put in
type Gen. ANDERsoN's death is an
nounced. He has been an invalid ever
since the surrender of Sumpter, and
perhaps before.

United States, having by his proclama.
tion, set apart Thursday, the thirtieth
of November, 1871, as day of National
Thanksgiving.
Now, therefore, /, JOHN w. GEARY,
Governor of Pennsylvania, do hereby
cordially commend to the people there
of the observance of the same as a day
of thanksgiving to Almighty God for
our State, National and individual
blessings, and OF prayer for the contnu-
anco of His gracious favor.
AS entirely as may be possible let
business pursuits be suspended. Let
US spend the day in religious worship,
and in such sacred communings and
festivities of the home circle, and so
secure its pleasures aud perform its
duties as to- make our hearts more
deeply sensible of our obligations to
God and our fellow men. "Who so
offereth praise glori6eth me-" He
that hath pity upon the poor lendeth
unto the Lord, and that which he hath
given will He pay him again."
Given under my hand aud the great
seal of the State at Harrisburg this

For the Columbian.
Saving Fund and Building Associations.

Application was made to the Court to
incorporate a Saving Fund Association
at Benton, to be ready TO go into opera
tion next January, provided a sufficient
number of shares of stock shall be taken.
The object of such Associations has
been said to be one of the most impor-
tant temporal subjects that the mind OF
man ever conceived. In England, they
are divided into two distinct classes;
the one terminating, the other pern'a-
ncn. A terminating society is one
which 1t Is intended to close at the end
of certain period, when all the shares
of the members have realized their full
amount. In a permanent society, 1t is
merely the membership of a sharehold-
er that terminates at the end of fixed
number of years, when he receives the
full value of his shares, the society itself
continuing forever. Whichever system
be adopted, the object of Saving Fund
Society is still the same, namely, TO en-
able individuals to associate together
and unite their subscriptions from time
to time in one common fund, for the
simple purpose of placing portion of
their incomes in an advantageous in
yestment; others with II view of bor-
rowing money, by which they may pur-
chase houses or other similar property.
The working of terminating Associa.
tlons is q subject of daily inquiry, espe-
ciallywith those who have never owned
stock in them. They terminate when
the value of the respective shares gets
to be worth two hundred dollars; or,
what amounts to the same thing, when
the last share is bought out. The length
Of time required for them to run out de.
pends, mainly, upon the amount of pre-
MUM that the money brings. AT eighty
dollars premium they will end in six
years and ten and half months, al
which time all the shares will be paid
off in the following annual proportions
Suppose an Association has one thousand
shares; it will pay as follows, VIII

Our Party.

Though unsuccessful in the State,
staunch Democrats are not dismayed.
We glory in our party principles which
have ever been productive of good to
the American people. The strongest
testimony in support of the great
strength of the Democracy is that for
ten years it has bravely stood defeat
and still remains powerful in principle
and numbers. The Democratic party
can boast of possessing the respect of
the public. The reason of this is that
its followers arc men of principle and
true Democratic doctrines are the most
salutary and effective of good to the
masses. Whom the Democratic party
was disposscssed from power and rule,
il is well known the unprincipled and
corrupt deserted it and entered the
ranks of the enemy. This alone has
won friends and adherents to our noble
institution and will secure to us more
in time to come. But it is principle
that makes our party blessed and it will
be principle that will make us victori-
Gus. This state of anarchy and despot-
ism with which we a @ at present cursed
is short lived. Work and wait is our
counsel, and depend upon it the DEATH
knell of Radical rulo will soon an
nounce the salvation Of the nation

BERLIN.-The "National Zaitung,"
in commenting upon the growth of
Berlin, says, that excepting the cities
of North America, no other metropolis
of Europe has progressed in anything
like the same proportion as the chief
city of Prussia. In 1890 Paris held q
population of 100000 inhabitants, while
Berlin at the same period had about
10000, having increased from 10000
souls in the century which elapsed since
1890. From 1917 till 1881 the popula.
ton of Berlin rose only from lSS,00O to
100000, but in the next twenty years it
amounted to 100000. Had the popula-
tion continued to augment in the same
ratio from 1851 to 1871, Berlin would
now contain 100000 persons, but it was
shown by the census of 1864 that at that
date the population had risen to 1000
and in 1867, although war had inter-
vened, it was found to be 7O2 900. The
"National Zeitung" argues that the i'm.
mense influx of people and the natural
increase of the population will, in all
probability, amount to 100000 inhabit-
ants for Berlin when the census returns
OF 1871 are added up. 1t is also con-
tended that Berlin will exhibit still
more extraordinary Increase during the
next ten years, after it has become the
capital of the new German Empire.

WE DO not know that the Democracy
have any more reason to be respondent
over the result of the Pennsylvania cleo
ton than the masses of Radicals have.
If the laboring men of the State who
cling to that party can stand it to be
taxed and fairfield, robbed and oppress-
ed, the Democratic laboring men GER
tainly can; if Radical business men
whose interests it is to have an econOm.
ical administration of State affairs and
a settled and prosperous condition of
business pursuits, can afford such an
uncertain and unsettled state of things
as we have been experiencing under
Radical rule, Democratic business men
can if Radical taxpayers can afford to
have the State Treasury robbed as in
the Evans case, the State funds specu-
lated upon by dishonest officials, the
interest on the State debt increased and
lot of speculating bankers made rich
off of taxes they pay to the Common
wealth, it is altogether likely that DEM
ocratic taxpayers can afford it too
