THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD Com
PANY AS A Political POWER IN OUR
STATES it not about time that the peo-
pie of this commonwealth should teach the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company that it
must keep its hands out Of our politics
That company has for years been exercis-
ing an undue influence on our Legislature
and in the selection of our officials. 1t
selected John Scott, Republican, and
VIM. A. Wallace, Democrat, to the ..
S. Senate, and its present design is to have
the Governor of the State in the person Of
Cyrus L. Pershing. Mr.. Pershing was the
Company's attorney in Cambria county,
and when in the Legislature was the Com
pauy's representative, instead of the peo-
ple's Just az he would be the Company's
Governor, instead of the Governor for the
people. The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany through Col. Mcclure, who has long
furnished much Of the brains for the Com
pany's political manipulations, brought
about Pershing's nomination at Erie. To
show. this, it is only necessary to read this
despatch to the Erie convention, and re-
member how quickly the intimations in it
were acted upon:
Philadelphia, Sept. 9, 1875.
"If the Democrats have any sense, they
will nominate Pershing. His action yes
terday would make him invincible.
Mcclure"
That the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany knows its man is shown by Per
shing's fidelity to the interests of the COM
pany when in the Legislatures fidelity
that made him forget his duty to the peo-
pie.
In 1863 he voted against the passage of
the act to prohibit corporations paying
their employees in orders upon stores. (See
House Journal, pages 706-797.)
In 1865, he voted for the passage of a
law to make employees of Railroad COM
paniesGnstead ofthe companies themselves
responsible for accidents. (See House
Journal, pages 6l9-62O.)
In 1862, he voted against repeating the
Act releasing the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company from payment of tonnage tax.
(See House Journal, page 55S.l
In 1862, he voted for the Act giving the
Philadelphia and Erie Railroad Company
power TO construct branches without limit
or restriction. (See House Journal, page
5s2)
When the question of such vital impor-
tance to the taxpayers Of Pennsylvania as
the abolition of all State tax on the farms
and homes of our people, and the taxation
Of corporations in their stead, was voted
on in 1866, Cyrus L. Pershing, true to his
suSserviency TO the corporations, lodged
the vote, and failed to place himself on the
record on the side of The people.
Is this the kind OF man the people
want for the Governor Remember all
we have stated in regard to him is taken
from the records of the State, and can't be
denied. .-LebrnOn Courier.

Proceedings OF the Grand Lodge OF
the United States.

INDIANAPOLIS, September 24.-The ses-
sion of the Grand Lodge 1. o. o. F. to day
was largely taken up with routine work.
The Grand Lodge has accepted an invita-
tion to hold its next session at Philadel-
pha. The credentials of Representatives
Tyler and Styles were reported upon favor
ably, and they were admitted to seats in
the Grand Lodge. 1t was decided that
after subordinate lodge had become de-
funct for five years, any funds surrendered
by it shall pass into the Treasury of the
Grand Lodge, and the Grand Sire and
Secretary were empowered to take such
action in regard to the corporation of the
Grand Lodge of the United States as they
deemed necessary.
A charter was granted for Grand
Lodge in Dakota Territory, provided nc
expense shall be incurred by the Supreme
body until ten subordinate lodges are es-
tablished.
A committee was appointed to ascertain
the condition of the Rebekah degree
throughouS the national Jurisdiction and
0 report at next session.
An extra session of the Grand Lodge
was held last night, at which Deputy
Grand Sire Park, of the Sandwich Islands
add.essed the Grand Logde in some gener-
al remarks, thanking them for courtesie!
extended. and expressing wish for thei
future prosperity. The several mem
bers OF the Grand Lodge were presented
with well-executed imperial photograph
of Past Grand Representative Shaffne

TRADE REvIvING.-The n. Y. Herald
of Monday, says: THE inquiries thus
make within few days show an extremely
satisfactory condition of trade. The fall
business doing by the wholesale dry goods
merchants is unexpected large. Several OF
the leading houses express their surprise at
its extent, and say that trade has not been
so good for five years past. But it is
not only that there is livelier demand and
that buyers are more numerous.
The retail dry goods trade seems also to
be uncommonly active just now, and 1t has
the same characteristic features of the
wholesale trade-caution in buyers: cash
payments careful selection purchasers.
There are, in fact, not only here and in
the peculiar features of the fall business,
but all over the country, evidences that we
are recovering, if not rapidly, yet soundly,
from the commercial and industrial pros
tratlon which began in 1873 and that bat
one thing--such continued arrangement
of the currency as Gov. Allen and Gen
Butler, Mr.. Pendleton and Mr.. Wendell
Phillips, Gen. Carey and Mr.. w. d. Kel-
ley threaten us with-can prevent gener-
ell renewal of prosperity next wear.

THE GRANGERs.- can be no
doubt that the Democratic politicians OF
this State seized hold of the Granger move
ment, when it first began, and have been
laboring ever since to control it in the IN
terest of their party. They have, by their
usual trickery and chicanery, managed to
worm themselves into the chief offices OF
the Order, aud their hope now is that the
members will follow the lead of the officers.
In this they will find themselves mistak-
en-. The first principle of the Order is that
it is not political, and must not be used
for political purposes. Its members are
perfectly free, so far as their society obliga-
tions go, to vote as they please; and expe-
rience has shown that wherever an attempt
has been made to use their Order, politi-
cally, they have resented it as an affront,
and voted against their own brethern who
assumed TO profit politically by their con-
nection with them.
An instance of this was given in Brad
ford county last year, where there are fifty
Grangers. The Republicans of that coun-
ty were tempted into nominating several
Changers upon their county ticket: and
the object of doing 50 was so plain that the
Changers, almost en- mosSe, voted against a
ticket which seemed to imply that they
could be used for the benefit of any party
that would take up its men for Office.
The future prosperity of the Grange de
pends upon its maintenance of an attitude
Political neutrality. II it once becomes ar
established fact that the Order is mer,
political machine, it will instantly becom'
odious, and its usefulness will be foreve
thereafter destroyed.

about / of one per cent. Of State tax, while
real estate was permitted to bear all local
taxation and the same State tax as corpor-
ations. The Republican party accom-
plished its financial successes by apportion-
ing taxes equitably among all classes of pro-
perty by an honest collection of the reve-
nue, and by restricting expenditures rigid
ly within the limitations of the Constitu-
! ton. By an infexible adherence to these
principles in 1866 they found themselves in
| condition to reduce taxation, and selected
as the object of the reduction the overbur-
dened real estate of the Commonwealth.
The proposition for its relief was at war
with all Democratic IDEAS of finance, and
aroused in that party in the Legislature a
determination to defeat the measure. But
resolute Republican majority forced it
through Senate and House and Republ-
can Governor promptly gave it his sigma
ture. The amount saved since that time
to the land owners of the State has exceed
ed eleven millions of dollars. The gain to
each county may be ascertaiued by COM
parison of its annual statements of
expenditures, published in the county
newspapers since 1866. with the state
ments of previous years. 1t is fact Of
which we have reason to be proud thai
ours is the only State Government that
does not tax its real estate for its support
Nor are other interests unduly taxed that
real estate may escape. In New York
and New Jersey capital is taxed as a whole
far more heavily that in Pennsylvania. We
differ from them in this, that we have
adopted a system whereby revenues are
collected without expense, whilst Oul
neighbors ma iutain an army of officehold
ers for their collection, by whom the gross
levy is shorn of its proportions before i;
reaches the State Treasury,
In addition 10 what we have alread y
stated the Republican party took up our
entire overdue Indebtedness, paid every
creditor his claim and placed our debt in a
position for systematic redemption. The
funds for this purpose were raised by plac-
ing upon the market currency loan 1.-THE
Democratic party. and notably its present
candidate for Governor having claimed
that the overdue Indebtedness was PAYABLE
principle and interest, in gold), which was
given out TO the highest bidder upon due
and public notice. The improvement
wrought in our credit by six years of Re.
publican administration is ittingly illus.
trated by the fact that of twenty-three mil.
lions Of the overdue Indebtedness eighteen
millions were held in foreign countries,
while of the new loan twenty millions were
purchased by residents of Pennsylvania,
and to-day the debt of this Slate is far
more largely held by her own citizens than
that of any State of the Union.

THE Au- Day City Item. of Philadelphia
saws: "The citizens of Pennsylvania will
be glad to hear that the prospect brightens
daily for the nomination Of Mr.. Packer as
Presidential candidate of the Republican
party. The organization will honor itself
if it honors him.
We clip the above, and while we lay no
special claims to naming presidents yet we
do believe thai the Republican party could
select no man that would so entirely meet
with the endorsement of the masses as
John i. Packer. If Pennsylvania is de-
batabe ground let the EatioDal Republican
Convention nominate him for the Presi-
dency and noIean in the Stale will ques
,StaAtbe rssdlt in the old Keystone. This
+pularfry is not eyanescent, but being
built on a substantial basis is steadily
growing until to-day few men are so much
beloved and trusted by the people irrespec-
tive of pasty as Mr.. Packer. He has stead
ily developed until his reputation has spread
beyond his district ard become national.
In view of the fact that Pennsylvania
should receive recognition as one OF the
leading states in the Union her representa-
tiyes should present the name of John b.
Packer 10 the next Republican National
Convention and accompany the presenta'
ton with the assurance that Pennsylvania
will respond W iih such an outbreak of en-
thusiasm that will ensure victory to the
party throughout tie nation in '76.-
Bloomsbury Republican.
Never did the Republican utter moro
truthful words than the above.

The Democratic shysters who have
forced themselves into the chief places of
the Order are demagogues of the meanest
sert, and have Joined the organization
solely TO promote their own selfish and am
bilious purposes. That they will try to
turn the machinery of the Order to their
own base political uses cannot be denied ;
but their are Republicans enough In 1t to
thwart their plans, and the good sense OF
the clear headed men who really have the
o6iec:s of the organization at heart will be
exercised to save il from the proclamation
so which Piollet and bis crew would sub

One of the encouraging signs ofthe times
in Pennsylvania is the fact that, in the
counties where the Republicans were last
year divided by local quarrels. there is now
no indication of distraction. Delawre
county, which last year elected two Demo-
Gratis to the Legislature through Repub
lican split, in this year united upon one
ticket, and promises to give !, 300 majority
for the State ticket. The same spirit rules
in Lancaster, Crawford, Bradford and
other counties that have been distracted
heretofore, and there is not now a single
comfy in the State in which harmony does
not prevailin the republican ranks

A TERRIBLE tragedy occurred at Ross
vile, Pa, recently. A young gentleman
and lady got married, contrary to the
wishes of the father of the girl, who after
reading the farewell letter his daughter
left beh ind her, followed the newly married
couple to the hotel where they were eating
their wedding dinner in company with a
few friends. The freDZied father attacked
his daughters husband fiercely with q
knife. The latter, in or order to frighten
the old man, and protect his own life, drew
revolver. The bride spraDg between
her husband and father just as the pis-
.ol was accidently discharged, and, receiv-
ing bullet in the brain, dropped dead
upon the floor. The Mortified husband
sank upon his kness beside the form of the
woman he loved so well, and called upon
her in agOnizing accents to look upon him.
Finding, after few seconds, that the
spark OF life had been extingulshed in the
form of his bride of an hour, the heart.
broken husband rose to his feet, and before
those standing about the little group, awe
stricken and terrified, realized his intention,
he had sent bullet into his own brain and
his lfeless form fell beside that of his dead
wife. The father was so terrible shocked
that he had TO be led from the scene like a
child. He was soon brought to, however,
by being arrested and placed under $1,000
bail to await the action Of the grand jury
