Mr. Murat Halstead, says the N. Y.
Times, spoke very cheeriully, at the white
bait dinner of the Golden club, the other
day, of the progress of free trade views
in the United States. But we are inclin-
ed to think that he allowed the wish to
be father to the thought IN some degree.
Free trade, or anything like it. as an
object of political effort, received a set
back from the dense stupidity of the free
traders at Cincinnati in 1872, from which
it has hardly yet begun to recover. The
experience of that year convinced those
who have favored reduction of the tariff
that they had no leaders worthy of the
name, and that the trafficking political in
triugers who assumed that Office were
ready to sell them out at any moment
These are facts which cannot well be ig-
nored in any estimate of the prospects
of free trade in the United States, though
Mr. Halstead found it convenient not to
m entiOn Them

BERGH AND BAREUM.
Bergh is after Barnum. Bergh says the
hurdleracing in Barnum's HippodrOme
is cruel and dangerous, and he CT tes the
following facts The performances at
the Hippodrome commenced on the 18th
of April, and up to the 18th inst, the 'lol
lowing casualties have occurred Miss
Hess, arm broken by beng thrown from
her horse; at the same time two other Ia
dies were thrown, but not hurt Miss
Lewis, hurt by being struck with the pole
of a chariot. Miss Alice Costeneigra,
hurt from being thrown from the racer
Castro. and having horse jump on her;
Castro was Instantly killed, but the lady
has since reported for duty. Frank Doc
ley, leg being broken while riding an ell
ephant race, and death ensued. Mrs.
Anna Davis, collar bone broken by the
horse Spot falling with her over hur-
die, and died.
But just as Bergh got ready to move
on the great Snowman, the entire concern
was moved to Boston, where, there being
no Bergh, horses may fall with men and
women as much and as often as they
choose. 1 rather believe that Barnum
started the report as an advertisement.
People will go long way to see a horse
fall on his rider. PIETRo.

~ Ot1i - viz eA4Sy
govern. They are born to that po-
sition, hold it through life whether
competent or incompetent, and trans
nit it their children along with their
heirlooms, and bloodhounds. They
may not be able to- distinguish law
from passage Of the Koran or an cpl
taph, yet they are lawmakers BY birth
and position, by legal right and title,
and 'sby the grace Of God.'' :
These men are also born to- enor-
nous fortunes, almost without exccp-
ton. And what is to hinder! Hav-
ing in their hands the source Of all title
to property--the law making power, can
it be wondered that they use
it for their own aggrandizement! Being
born legislators, they are also born
public plunderers !, and cormorants.
They reap where they have mot tsowgn,
they gather the fruits of the labors and
tolls of others, and squander. them too
in drunkenness and riotous living. They
claim that whatever the law gives them,
whatever they hold by legal right and
title is morally and in good conscience
theirs, Notwithstanding the fact
that they themselves framed the
laws for the very - purpose
of reaching for, and possessing them
selves Of the property that rightfully
belongs to others. They do not claim
to be more righteous than the law, but
they might have made the law more
righteous than it is.
Seeing and appreciating the great
wrong and injustice of this system of
legislation-a system that places all
wealth and property under the control
of a perpetual monopoly Of law makers,
our people, in attempting to avoid this
terrible evil have invited another of al
most equal magnitude, by swinging to
the opposite extreme. Instead of a
tenure Of office running from genera
tion to generation, and from century
to century,, we elect for
thirty days! and then because
the inexperienced legislator does not in
that time prove himself thoroughly
competent to give just and wise laws to
the people-the most difficult thing
ever undertaken by mortal man-we
kick him out at the end of his, thirty
days in the utmost disgust. Was there
ever such folly committed by, intelligent
beings!
Extremes arc always dangerous, and
in jumping from one extreme to its op-
posite, we; rarely, if ever, better our
selves. There is always happy mean
If we could but find it.. We do not
often find it for the very reason that we
do not seek it. Wherever. we find gre.
vious wrong and injustice we fancy chat
the further we can get away from them
the surer we will be to find right and
justice. This is a grievous mistake and
most grievously do We answer for it.
The hereditary tenurelan the thirty
day term are to the extreme opposite
ends Of the pole. This mischief and
injuries arising from ] the former,
do not probably arise from
the latter; but the latter ! Is
productive of quite as serious wrongs,
which do not flow from the former. Let
us seek for that term that shall com
bine the most Of the advantages of the
extremes, and avoid the most of their
disadvantages - s@ ..a,s 9

The Waseca Neaos, in reply to a let
ter from the Hon. e. F. Drake, Presi-
dent of the St. Paul & Sioux City Rail-
road, Company, shows that J the land
grant and bonuses received by that
company would more than pay the
whole cost Of constructing and equip
ping their road if the lands were sold at
- per acre. ...
The St. Paul Press thereupon rushes
to the defence Of Mr.. Drake with the
following argument:
The plausible sophistry Of this view lies
in the way in which the Ne,cs> confounds
the in posse with the in esse, the potential
value Of the land grant with its actual avail
ability as q source OF revenue.
The i3a posse and the III esse. arc
good, and right to the point. Now
which horn Of the dilemma will the
Neacs take! If it accepts the IN posse
then what On earth will it do with the
IN esse 2. 4 On the other hand if it
perches upon the IN. esse horn then the
Press will gore it to death with the
IN posse horn. There seems to be noth-
ing for the Nesos to do but to throw
up :, the sponge, because if
it should even escape this fate, there
would still be the mighty gulf between
the s.potential value,'' and the ':actual
availability into which the Nesos
would surely fall and break it's neck, if
it attempted to cross.
We do not wonder that after getting
off this mighty argument, the Press
should say, ''We have no space for fur
ther comments this morning.

miner was walking along the main
street Of Pittston on his way home from
work. when man who was standing

manner was evidently waiting for some
one. approached the miner and without
saying word drew a revolver and Shot
him dead. Some half dozen persons
who were standing near and witnessed
the murder attempted to arrest the
murderer, but with the revolver IN hand
he threatened to shoot any one who at
tempted to interfere, and passing queitly
down the street he disappeared in an
alleyway and nothing has been seen or
heard of him since. He is described by
those who witnessed the occurrence as
of about five feet six inches in stature,

Harrisburg. Jan. 2G.-The movement
already started in the Legislature to
secure a repeal of the Local Option law
is provoking considerable discussion.
1t appears to be gaining strength,
though many members are yet undecid-
ed what position to assume in regard to
it. The Attorney General has been
asked for his opinion as to how the new
Constitution will operate in respect to
repeal of the law. The point in
dispute is, whether such repeal can
affect the counties which voted against
license. A number of petitions have
been addressed to the Legislature pray
ing for repeal, but there is an evident
indisposition on the part of any ore to
assume the responsibility and probable
odium of introducing a repeating bill.
The question promises, however, to take
the proportions of one of the most i'm
portant matters to be brought before
the Legislature.
POttsville, Jan. 27.-From reports re-
ceived here to-day atthe various mining
points in the Schuylkill region it is
estimated that about One-third of the
cOlleries have resumed work since the
final settlement of the basis question on
Saturday, The reason assigned for so
small a number of mines that have thus
far resumed. is that there are few
orders to fill at this season, there being
good supply of coal on hand, and
many operators are repairing their
works aud machinery. The Philadel-
phia and Reading Coal and Iron Com.
pany's mines will not be put in opera
ton until Feb. Cd. when, it is reported, +,
there will be generalresumption of all
the coleries. There is not sufficient
demand however to warrant their rum
ming up to full producing capacity.
