Dg-WHICH is right? The Easton Sentinel
last week denounced the n Y World, be-
cause it advocated the caving policy of the
Belmont clan of Democratic politicians. The
Wayne Co. Herald of last week commends the
World, because of It's steady adherance to
the policy and usage of the Democratic faith
crs in the good old days lang syne." Now
who is going to decide which is which and
which is tother, when these eminent Demo
cratic Doctors disagree They certainly don't
agree on this point, much as they do agree
in the desire to lay our Congressman on the
shelf

THE production and manufacture Of
cotton during 1871 appears to have been
remarkably profitable to the trade as well
as to the producer During that year
the crop of 1870 was marketed, realizing
an aggregate of s263 100000 The re,
duction of the crop of estimated
by the Agricultural Department as l..
100000 bales short of lST0-caused a
rise in prices above the averge of recent
years, yielding profit to every class of
operators connected with it. The fiuc.
tuations Of 1871 afforded an attractive
field for speculation. The falling prices
of 1870 were a source of profit to manu-
facturers, as it extended the supply of
raw material beyond the power OF the
spinners to work up. The course of
prices in the spring and summer of 1871
became an advancing one, both in raw
material and in fabrics-a singulr
anomaly, which still further disappointed
the auguries based upon it by working
no disaster.

TIE SCRANTON KNIGHTS OF PYTHfAs IN A
FIX


A young lady of Scrantons, ays the Times,
succeeded in getting herself made Knight
in one of the lodges that has its head quar-
ters in that city. She disguised herself as a
man, and was inflated without question.
After she had taken two or three degrees
her sex was discovered and the lodge found
itself in very alarming muddle. The cere-
monies were very suddenly stopped, and the
authorities appleaded to. Just what will be
done is not known, but as the lady is said to
be young and beautiful we should think she
would make a very acceptable Damon, but
of an entirely new kind to somebody's Pythias.
The affair has created great deal of excite
ment among the Lodges.

THE Hon. Thomas Fitch, in the De
seret Territorial Convention, in his argu
ment against polygamy, disposed of the
patriarchal precedent in the following
neat way: elf Abraham had lived on the
line of the overland road in the afternoon
of the nineteenth century, il Isaac had
been surrounded by forty millions OF
homogeneous Yankees, if Jacob had asso
ciatcd with miners and been josrled by
spectators, there would, [ apprehend,
have been different order of social life
in Palestine" Mr.. Fitch also told the
Mormons that the American people were
not only desirous of eradicating polygamy
but that they were quite able to eradicate
it. You Mormons, he said, "may de.
lay the issue, but you cannot evadc it. II
you stick to polygamy, you will show
yourselves to be neither philosophers nor
philanihropists." This noble dose of
capital common sense ought to have a
good effect upon the patriarchs, and pro
badly will operate benefcialy; for what
ever else they may be, the Mormon lead
ers are not fools

state Taxes.

In 1859 the tax tor State purposes in
Tennessee was 60 cents on the one hun
drcd dollars. That was under Radical
rule. Now. under Democratic rule. the
tax for State purposes is 40 cents on the
one hundred dollars. We don't attach
a very large amount OF importance to
this small difference in taxation OF 20
cents on the one hundred dollars worth
of property, and only alludc % it to
steady the nerves of some of our Radi-
cal contemporaries, who seem disposed to
agitatc the subject occasionally. AS a
taxpayer and as feeling pride and in
tcrest in the commonwealth. we would
always be in favor OF Il standard at taXa-
ton necessary for sound, economical
OF the State government,
and which would plant and keep its
credit and faith upon II basis above re-
proach.
