The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1874-02-17

The editor of Harper's Weekly has a van
tage ground of observation not afforded all
hepoliticsl writer's of the day. Mr.. Geo.
VIM. Curtis, is as much of a partisan as an
honest man can be, and he has come to the
conclusion that the parties that claim exis-
tence, represent nothing dear TO or deserved
by the people. Here is a marked utterance
from a recent discussion of the political sit
~uation, which very aptly touches the real
condition OF things: "The political situation
is remarkable. The republican party, in
'unquestioned possession of the government,
has no policy upon any of the most pressing
questions before the country. The demo-
cratic party, s~uprefluous and hopeless, is
mot even a skillful opposition. but, with a
folly that would be ineonceivable except
for fourteen years. experience of it, nomi-
mates Fernando Wood for Speaker, and re-
'sists the rivil cights bill. There was never
"a time within the memory of men nov ac-
tive in public affairs, when party ties were
so relaxed.p The Sentinel has been i'm
pressing this point on it's readers for months,
and the people are giving it heed, all over
the land. There are none vino seek to ig-
uOTo OI OcHJ IL, SAVE soli-So0klHS poi
~iticians, bent on their own selfish gain.
The blind who refuse to see the pres
ent tendency of the times will meet
some very disagreeable surprises in the
course of time. The chaps who put their
trust in caucusesa and conventions will find
themselves lenning on very rotten support.
The country is about to be governed, for a
few years now, by officials selected by the
majority in open day, fairly and
above board, not by csucuses or
rings. Mr.. Curtis has come to see this
and whoever mingles much with men can
not fail to have it brought home. Caucus
craft is precisely as arbitrary and undemo-
cratic as king-craft, and this country has
been ridden too far by it. Let us practice
something like freedom of choice just to see
how it will go. We may perchance find
honest men to fill our offices.

BEE PAsTURE.-The American Bee Jour-
nal says: ITO test the difference between
keeping bees near q town of 5000 inhabit-
ants, and having them wholly in the coun-
try, we last year too an average stock to
board with a farming friend, and it gather
ed just four times as much honey as the
best of our in-town stocks. We have a bee
keeping acquaintance who lives on the edge
of an extensive cranberry swamp,
and his bees do better than
those of any other apiary in the
whole region. In very early spring, and
even late in the fall, the bees appeared to
find something to do in the swamp. Our
Minnesota friends owe their extraordinary
success to the vast stretches of Eastwood
near which they live. We would say to all
h contemplate going into bookkeeping as
q business, choose your locality wisely. 1t
will pay on a small scale to keep bees in
many places, where it would hardly be adj
visable to keep them extensively.

These figures are not always accessible to
the enquiring student, and had they been
put forth by a member of any other than the
republican party. they would ave been
promptly and vehemently denied. During
those halcyon days of plenty, when the
treasury bulletins, over Mr.. Boutwell's
sign manual, informed the country
Of the decrease of the debt, MIR.
Dawes shows that thefunds were taken from
imagipary balances or a cooked surplus.
UnGer the very best possible showing from
tho figures furnished, the treasury depart
meut will be short something over $50, 00O.-
GOO in July next. In every detail
the exhibit of the national trea-
sury is shown at a disadvantage
ard tho only remedy is a large addition to
penditures. The latter is fought tooth and
nail by the rings that run the government,
and we may prepare for a vast increase of
the taxes on commercial articles, such as
tea, coffee, salt and fabrics. Mr.. Dawes voice,
however, as chairman ofthe ways m means
committee, will be found useful in opposing
this remedy. he thinks it would he a dis
grace to the country in time of peace to in
crease taxation, nor any less d~iscreditable
to borrow money to carry on the govern
ment, or pay the interest on the debt. His
plan is the knife and he shows where it may
be used with most. wholesome effect. The
government swarms with super-numeraries
in every branch of the service and
at every point of the compass, and
fifty millions may be saved:by pruning
these wasteful branches of extravaganza.
But reading over the calm, earnest, and dig
nified statement of the chairman of the
ways and means committee, are you not
struck with admiration for the-well, let us
call it after the manner of men-"cheekr
with which u senior senator faced the
ccrntry and ~eulogized the administration as
the most economical, and the civil service
the best and cheapest on the planet?

Meeting or Operators To-day.
WILKEsBARRK, Jan. %, 1874
Between 800 and 400 men OF the PittstOn and
Emira Coal company quit work yesterday on ac-
scount OF the non-payment of wages due
them since October last. There was an
Agreements between them and the company
that they should be paid On the 20th Of each
month after months wages were due. On the
10th OF December the company did not pay them
for November per agreement, but promised that II
they would continue work they should be paid in
cash on the Goth OF January. 1874, for November,
ana half cash and half in orders for December.
The 20th OF January came but the company did
not keep its promise, and the men the following
day refused, In body. to enter the mines. The
Wilkesbarre Coal and Iron Company posted up
this week. and there win not be. any dfcuity with
the men On that score, as was threatened yester-
day.
and Iron Company and OF the Honey Brook Coal
Company, mas issued . call Tor the meeting
in Philadepnia. on the 9Th Of February ' next
for the purpose OF affirming the terms OF
consolidation. 1t is thought here that work win
not be resumed by these companies until after that
time. ana friends OF the corporation say that
work was stopped In ali their mines Tor the pur-
pose OF expediting transfer of property.
Accounts OF meetings TO be held among the
miners for organization in all sections are received
here, and but few days will elapse until! this
whole region will be more thoroughly organized
than for years before.
John Sney, the President OF the National Ass0-
citation, left for the Schuylktll regions this
morning.
Operators Meeting To he Held To-Day.
POTrsvrLLE, Pa, Jan. ~, 1874
There are much speculation and anxiety
manifested in coal circles here, and many
inquiries were made to-day by telegraph
from towns throughout the country con-
corning the circular issued at late
hour last night addressed to individual operators,
that Mr.. Gowan desired meeting OF the trade
here tomorrow. at two p M, having business Of
importance to present to them, and signed by the
Committee on Basis.
The committee and other operators are very
ret1cent The numerous inquiries made as TO the
proved futile. The prevailing opinion in the city
tonight among business men Is that the strike Is
about over and that the miners will either accept
the 1925 basis or viii signify their Willingness Tor
compromise.
1t Is predicted that there will be resumption Of
work next week. IL il rumOred that the men in
the Wilkesbarre region will resume soon at the
reduced rates.
There Is to be meeting held here on Saturday
next OF the men and operators. The probability is
that the necessary prelminaries will be made
prior to the settling OF the matter and going TO
work immediately.
Mr.. Gowan is expected here tomorrow morning.
