THE persistent industry with which
Mr.. LATTA is defended from charges
no one ever made against him is
amusing, but IL is Ineffective. L.,TTA
is not charged with voting against
the amendment abolishing slavery
But he is charged with being the
creature Of the railroad corporations
while he was in tho Senate, and or
steadiiY cotjng t0r these porcrful
corporations and dg0inst Mc people,
'rhiie a Senator. We particularly
charged this crime on the employee
Of the railroads in the notable strug-
gle to make corporations pay fair
share of taxes for the support of the
State, and SO relieve the farmers.

II is stated that tho firm o. Jay
Cooke u Company transacted bust
ness in the course of ten years to
the amount of five thousand millions
OF dollars. They negotiatoi for the
government nineteen hundred and
thirty millions in bonds. and bought
and sold three thousand millions in
addition. Perhaps no other money
firm in the world ever handled so
large an amount in the same length
OF time-and yet with all their ad-
vantages they failed, and that single
failure affects to this day all the great
business interests of the country.

DESPITE the probable loss OF her
position rs the index of public opin
ION in Presidential campaigns on ac-
count Of the postponement Of the
State election until November, Penn
sylvania will secure some compen-
sating Advantages by the innovation,
Hitherto the importance of the result
in this State has rendered some of
our campaigns much more acrimoni-
ons than elsewhere, and has furnish :
ed strong temptations to fraud and
lawlessness. We have at times suf-
fered much from swarms of colonized
voters, who pressed upon us from
neighboring States, corrupting our
politics and sometimes defeating the
wish Of honest voters. Again, any.
thing which tends toward uniformity
in the laws of the respective States
should be fostered, because it is q
step toward the development of the
national idea nurtured by Hamilton
and the statesmen of his school, and
which is still living principle of the
national party of our day. Lastly
as matter Of economy our people
will gain something by the charge
Two elections in one year in addition
TO the spring elections, with our ex
tensive and cumbersome registry law
add greatly to our burden of taxa
ton. Wise craftsmanship demand,
economy in the administration o.
government on every side, and exacts
from the citizen no more time and
Inconvenience in the practice of pub
lie duties than is necessary for the
safety Of the State. 1t was for thes,
reasons that the Constitutional Con
vention adopted this reform, at thu
expense, perhaps, OF someprestige t,
the Commonwealth. .--I'hila. Ress.
