N'ennsylEanfa and Her Possibilities.

One Of the speakers of the Baptist
Convention in Harrisburg. thus spoke
OF the old keystone State: This
Safe, as a mission field, comprises
$4,000 square miles. 1t is as large
as Connecticut. Massachusetts,. New
Hampshire, Rhode lslend, Vermont.
Maryland, Delaware, and one-fourtb
OF New Jersey combined. II is as
large as Denmark, Holland aud Bel
GUM, in Europe, together. II is
nearly as large as all England. Phil
adelphia is %territorially the largest
city in America; vet Pennsylvania
could fluid room for 3S3 such cities.
Our population IS 1000, GOO; as great
a number as are contained in the
States Of Arkansas, California, Della
ware, Florida. Kansas, Minnesota,
Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire,
Oregon, Rhode Island, West Virgin
la and Vermont. 1t contains $500.
miles Of railroad. and has in contem-
as much more. 1t contains
400, 600 church members, and over
2 600, 600 Of persons who are not
connected with any Christian deuom-
ipation. If these were placed side
by side they would reach from Phil
ldelphia to Pittsburgh. The State
doubles its population every thirty
years, aud 5000, goo of people might
nave each a house and garden at
ached within the State boundaries.

One of the messengers in the
House of Representatives of this

wealth is put down at $4,000; but
as business is rather dull at present
he is turning an honest penny in the

salary of 5000 a year. His name is

publican organ, which supported Hayes for
Governor OF OHIO in the recent contest with
great earnestness on the hard money issue
claims that the result vindicates its sagaciiy
at the time of Hayes nomination, when II
advised the republicans to make the issue on
the currency question, arguing that the elm
nation Of Grantism from the party was its
only hope of success. The blunder of the
Ohio democracy was to tall into this trap.
Had they insisted on occupying the old dem,
ocratic ground on the currency question, and
compelling the republican party TO defend
its own record and GTaDtism, the majority
would have been 10000 the other way.

HIRE A CLERK!

The Ottawa Republican again admits that
Mr.. Morrill, is wholly incompetent to dis
charge the duties of Treasurer and that he
must hire clerk to DO the business, but says
Mr.. Raymond also hires clerk. OF course
he does, for no one man, however good a
book keeper and accountant he may be, can
do all the writing and figuring Of the office,
1t is necessary sometimes to have two or three
clerks at work. But at the same time every
one knows that Mr. Raymond does a large
proportion of the work himself, and under
stands every minute detail of the Office better
than any other man in it, and better than
Morrill, can be taught in five years training
Indeed, a strong point in favor of Mr.. Ray.
mond is, that he knows more about the bust
ness around the court house than any one
other man in it. Farmers and outsiders find
him indispensable not only TO enlighten them
in regard to tax matters, but in a thousand
other matters about our county offices they
need direction in, they constantly levy on
the cheerful kind Offices of Mr. Raymond.
The people of the county can't afford to ex-
charge such a man tor mere stick"

some suggestive richness of facts. The name
Of Mr.. Dent comes out at last. Hewas to get

transfer of the Government funds from the

Of the Ohio election is not decisive of the

OLD lack. Is THE MAN!

1t was we'll enough to pay George Dawson
Coleman, of Pennsylvania, the compliment
of rendering him seat in the cabinet for so
gorgeously entertaining President Grant and
his re,inue at hispalatial mansion at Lebanon,
and making his Excellency SO fine present
of Hostein cattle; but Grant was no less con-
scious than Coleman himself that at best
1t must be worse than an empty honor 10
become the successor of Columbus Delano in
the Interior Department, especially II he was
expected so to fill the position as to meet the
appreciation of his lord and master the Presi
dent
Grant knew very well that Coleman was
mot that kind of a man. and that he would
decline the appointment as matter of course.
The President doubtless at the time had in
his minds eye halfa dozen Of men more after
his own heart, but it is questionable whether at
any time name occurred to him more exactly
suited TO his taste and wants than that OF Old
lack. Chandler of Michigan. Though never
mixed up with any disreputable steals while
in the Senate, Old lack. was never known to
be afflicted with any ridiculous squeamish-
ness about fine points of honor, and the idea
of following in the footsteps OF so renowned
a predecessor as Columbus Delano no more
troubled him than if Chase or Floyd had
been proposed as his examplar. The presl-
dent can at last rest easy that under
the management of Chandler his own
friends in the Indian ring will not be
troubled Then what a delightful mid
night companion the president will have

in the Cabinet by the appointment OF lack
Chandler, the ex-war senator from Michigan.

The venerable Sidney Breese, one OF the
honorable justices OF the Supreme Court of
Illnols, was IN the city yesterday evening on
his way to Ottawa. where the annual session
for the Northern Grand Division opens to.
day. Judge Breese is one Of the olden time
gentlemen; an erudite scholar; a ripe law
yer, and an upright judge. He has often
been spoken of as most proper democratic
candidate for the presidency in years past,
but he has no taste for politics or public af-
fairs, and prefers the quiet work OF his pro-
fesslon. IT'S pity that Judge Davis and
other gentlemen most learned have not fol-
lowed his example. Illinois is very proud Of

Judge Breese, although democrat, has but
little taste for politics, recognizing the fact
that his position is one which should he held
wholly aloof from politics, and the time will
come again, we hope, when such men as
Judge Sidney Breese will be sought to fill the
vacancies that from time TO time occur in the
highest judicial tribunal of the country

The sharpers who infest the country prey
ing upon the unsuspecting farmers, have con-
cocted another new scheme Tor victmizins
the people. They pretend TO be hunting stray
animals. One gets description of stray
horse taken up by farmer, and claims the
horse. giving the description of it as evidence
tina, he owned and lost it. Usually he states
that he is great ways from home, and pro
poses TO sell the animal for much less than
lis real value rather than be troubled to get II
home. The farmer, unless unusually sharp,
accepts the proposition and pays the money
or gives his note, and that's the last he sees
of the scamp.
