 That we are in favor of tariff for reve- nue only, so adjusted as to be the least bur- densome, and the most favorable to the interests of labor and industry.
 That we desire such revision of the Patent laws as will-release industry from the oppression of monopolies, and at the same time secure to the inventor fair remuneration and to the public the bene- fit of the invention upon equitable terms.
 Minnesota Democrats favor,
 A tariff for revenue only as consistent with an honest administration; none for protection; no Goyeroment partnership with protected monopolies.
 The foregoing resolutions account for the sudden subsistence of the Granger from politics. by showing that both par ties are ready to concede all that the Granger asks.

The attempt to capture of an express Car on an Illinois railroad on Thursday night last was very bold but luckily an unsuccessful one. A band of robbers seized the train at station in the woods, shot the engineer dead and then tried to force the Adams express car. The man in charge refused to open it, and though they riddled it with balls he held out till they were obliged to retire without effect ing an entrance.

There IS evident indisposition in both branches of our legislature to increase the governors appointing power. The bill which gave the governor appointment of school commissioner met with no favor in the Senate. and now Mir. McMahon pro- poses to make the office of railroad com- missioner elective by the people. That might be better than an appointment by the legislature. but in position where peculiar fitness is desirable. an appoint
 ment by the governor ought to secure a oe.ter selection. The choice of Mir. Mi. not A. Osborn. senior editor of inc Naw

It will be seen by our legislative reports that new constitutional amendment is to be proposed for the reorganization of the Senate. This will authorize the forma- tion of from 35 to 45 Senatorial districts, the redistricting to take place in 1880; and, in order to prevent "gerrymander- ing, it is provided that two.thirds vote shall be required in favor of each appor- tionment. This plan seems e fairer one than that recently voted down in the House; but the two-thirds feature might, perhaps, block all action.

While, as general proposition, it is true
that "a lying tongue is no SANDER, it is also
true, TO a certain extent, that we may not
''touch pitch without being defled." All
readers of the Metropolitan Detective Press
do not know of its unIeliabllity, of its
utter peryersity in the distorting and garb-
ling Of the truth, even into he forms and
impressions of falsehood, until it is made
to convey the very opposite meaning from
what IFS author intended. The following
extracts of private letter just received from
a gentleman in New York, who has ALWAYS
been a staunch Republican, indicates the
effects of the poison upon his mind. He
has been reading the Sun, Herald and
Tribune until he absolutely believes or
at least takes it for granted, that there
was corruption and swindling in the In
dian Bureau under the late Secretary of
the Interior. And this is one great fault we
have to find with staunch Republicans who
have retired from politics: that they will
permit themselves to belive the slandereus
allegations of Democrats and their indie
pendent(D allies in preference to the state
ments of their own party friends. But the
Detective Press is more assimilated to the
highwaynan, whose "band is against the
hand of every man" who does not pay him
tribute. IT'S a spy, and an informer, and

IT SEEMS now tolerably certain that we
shall have several specimens of royalty at
the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia
next year. Emperor Dom Pedro, of Brazil
has asked and obtained the leave of his
Parliament to absent himself from his
Dominions long enough for this purpose,
and will no doubt make the trip if he lives.
King Kalakaua may also be expected. The
Crown Prince of Germany likewise seri-
ously meditates visiting us, and if the
Prince of Wales does notmake up his mind
to return from India by way Of Chins,
Japan and California, it is TO be hoped at
least that the Duke and Duchess of Edin-
burgh and the Princess Louise and her
husband, the Marquis of Lorne, will favor
us with call. In view of these proposed
visits would 1t not be well for the Commits.

Department in the Centennial buildinp,

blood royal, and invite all monarchical
Governments to send their best specimens

impartial judges than among this whole

AT THE CONCLUSION of a seven years
war with her American colonies, Great
Britain acknowledged their independence.
Spain has now made war for seven years
on her West India colony of Cuba, but does
not seem willing to acknowledge her indie
pendence. She is continually sending out
a few more young recruits TO die in that
Island of the malarial fevers incident to the
climate. But she makes no stepin advance
toward subduing the rebellion. Some of
the Republics of America have already
acknowledged the independence Of the
Cubean Republic. 1t is becoming serious
question with the remainder of them how
much longer they shall forbear such recog-
milton of sister Republic which has main
tanned a Government for seven years, des-
pite all the power of Spain to reduce 1t to
submission. The Porto Ricans are also be-
coming FESTIVE, and may soon be also knock
ing at our doors for recognition as an indie
pendent republic. All the interests of the
citizens of the United States lie in the
direction of the independence of these
islands In view of all these facts, it is
not reasonable 10 expect that they will
much longer consent to remain silent upon
the question. They will soon demand the
recognition of the Cuban Republic in the
interests of humanity, freedom and COM

Hon. JOHN KELLY, the new Tammany
King of New York, is in the tolls of the
Reformers, and is in danger of being badly
beaten in the forthcoming election. The
registration, however, shows that there are
IA, 934 voters in the city, which is 1884
less than were registered last year, when
the vote for Governor in the city fell Is, S74
short of the register. The united opposi-
ton to Tammauy elected Jones register
last year over Hayes, the Tammaay candi-
date, by majority of II, 647. On the judi
cial ticket, headed by Recorder Hacket the
opposition to Tammany is now concen-
trated with great unanimity, and the Her.
aid says the chances for the election of
the entire anti-Tammany ticket are very
encouraging.

NEXT TUESDAY the voting masses of
Pennsylvania will decide some questions
which are o. vital importance not only to
the keystone State, but to the country at
large. If Pennsylvania. in the queeIly
dignity Of her past record, places her foot
firmly and squarely upon the neck OF the
ins;dicus viper of initiation the career of the
baneful curse and disastrous heresy will
soon be ended. There is, we acknowledge
however, a powerful element in the South
and West that still clings to the expansion
theory of financial government and threat
ems to marshal its defiant hosts against the
hard-money Bourbons of the East in tue
great national convention of 1876. Yet it
is generally believed that should Pennsyl-
vania, by a sweeping Republican victory,
present protest against the ubiquitous
system created at Columbus and echoed
at Erie, this spirit of defiance will soon
pass away, forced out of existence by the
determined will Of an honest people, who
believe in stable finances, public. faith, re-
demption of Government pledges and estab.
lished confidence in all circles of CONNER
Cial business. But there are other features
in the present campaign Of almost as great
importance as the money question. The
future prosperity of the State is involved in
the result Of the election. Under the pres
ent administration of affairs the people
have been rewarded fourfold for having
placed their confidence and State in
terests in the hands of the ruling officials.
The public debt has been reduced $14,-
900, Geo, and there has been a complete
abolition of the burdensome tax on real
estate. The public career of the present
gubernatorial incumbent is above criticism,
and his administration of State affairs has
met with the warmest approval and COM
mendation of both parties, and upon his re-
election depends in a great measure the
future welfare of the Commonwealth; and
all that is needed to accomplish this impor-
tant end is the polling of a full vote. Let
there be no supineness or apathy on the
part of the Republican voters of the Stale.
If there be any voters in the District of
Columbia who are undecided in regard to
their duty in this urgent matter let them
waveT and doubt no longer, for every vote
is needed to swell the coming victory into
a majority that will most emphaticaIly
place the good people of the Keystone be-
fore the world as men devoted to the in
terests Ct honesty, Official integrity and
good government.
