THE TWIN PLAGTE,g.

Between the carpct-bagger and the
grasshopper, our country has been
greatly scourged the past few years.
Our information from the far west, is
to the effect that from oil appearances
the latter will repeat their ravagcs
this summer II this should prove
true, thousands Of families will be com.
PEELED to abandon the west and make
their way east as best they can, TO get
out of reach of the pest. The indica-
tions in the south are that the carpet.
bagger will do but little damage this
year, and by the next he viii be killed
off or find his way north to prey on
his ancestors. 1t will thus be seen
that while one section of our national
heritage is being devastated another Is
being relieved and rendered prosper
GUS, free and happy, thus balancing
circumstances The carpctbag ques
tion is wholly under the control Of the
people, and should long since have
been abated but the grasshoppci
plague rests with Providence, and Il
lie, in His wisdom sees At to continue
the scourge for another year, trail
mortals must submit like the Egyp
tians oi old.

TnE THIRD Tern HUMBUG. The
Lancaster Eraminer, the organ of one
Of Grants naval officers at Philadel-
phia, is becoming very indignant be-
cause many people continue to talk
about and condemn Grants third term
aspirations. The editor in question
fires the following shot into the ranks
of the growlers in his last issue T.
"Just as the President is not called up.
g on by, any precept Of dcccncy, by
q any rule Of official dignity, or by any
"tonot of political prudonoo to dis
claim what has been imputed to him
"by only the widest gucsswork of his
lowest enemies, so the party he rep
qresents is called upon TO treat his de-
iamcrs or their defamations with any
e a moro seriousness The third term
"humbug should never be honorcd
"by the party in convention with a
'snoticc.pF There, we have no doubt
that win make the growlers shut up.
Such manifestations Of contempt for
the rabble is enough to make a free
man shake in his boots. fis,i .Isq

In CouSclL,-Thc Radical State
Convention meets at the city Of Lam
caster to-day,for the pupose of forming
a State ticket. Gov Hartranft will
be renominatcd without formal oppo-
sition. As Gen. Cameron and the
Radical State Ring have pronounced
in favor of Mayor Rawle, Of Erie, for
State Treasurer that parsonage will
no doubt be the nominee, There will
be q fight (public or privatc) about
the third term business, but as most of
the Radical leaders vainly ascribe their
recent defeats every where to the in
fuence Of that bugbear, they will prob
ably pronounce against it, not that
they are really opposed to il, but for
the sake of votes Unless they can
convince Grant that such action is a
mere blind, he will take good care to
nee that their ticket is defeated. 9th
crwise the convention will have no
particular significance The ticket
nominated will be defeated by an over
whclming majority next November

ODDITIES OF THE School LAw.--Thc
idiosynemsics of school directors, rs
well as the disnniiormity that results
from the present system OF fixing sal
aries for the school supcrintendcnts,
are shown by the list Of county snpcr.
intendents recently elected, and the
salaries respectively voted them. Nc.
Kcan county, for instance, with only
80 schools, pays its superintendent -.
900 per annum; whilst Dauphin, with
2O4 J schools, pays only $500. Elk
county, with "a schools, pays 81 900
whilst Northumberland, with 225
schools, pays only $500. Forest coun-
ty pays the smallest salary, $500, but
has 39 schools only. aSchuylkill pa,s
the highest salary, s2,250, and has
400 schools. Lancaster has the larg-
est number of schools, 1924 Cameron
the smallcstnumber, 32. York county,

IN TROUBLE.

One of Grceley's blockheads who
does up some editorial matter for the
Lancaster Intelligencer, is puzzled to
know how il comes that Senator Wal
lace has so much influence over Gov.
Hartranit, as to prevent the sending
of the military to suppress the coal ri
oters, although the operators urged
the necessity Of military assistance
The demand of the operators was
against law and common sense; hence
Senator Wallace said no, and Governor
Hartranft seconded the motion and
the riot was suppressed and nobody
hurt, either.
The editor of the Cambria Freeman
puts the question in this way
Senator Wallace 10 deserving of all honor for
his powerful efforts In behalf Of peace and good
order in the Clsaraeld coal regions, thereby pre-
venting, beyond doubt, the shedding Of blood
and the interference Of the military at the ex-
pense Of the taxpaysu. s.
Sheriff Mcpherson and Senator
Wallace having acted in concert, and
promptly during the disturbances in
our coal regions, averted the miscra-
able spectacle carried out in the Lu-
zerne coal fields. 1t is true, guns and

BORDER TRoUBLEs.-Tho troubles on
the Mexican border have about reached
their climax. The question now has
resolved itself into one Of the preserva-
tion Of the peace. The United States
Government, with due regard for its
dignity and a desire TO preserve its
honor cannot longcrpermit the present
state of affairs TO exist ON the border
Not only is Texas every day invaded,
its towns rapined and lis citizens out
ragged, but Mexico is an equal sufferer.
The bandits bolong TO neither side of
the Rio Grande. They arc as active
ON one side ms on the other and they
steal from Mexicans with as much
avidity as from Texans There is only
one remedy that we know Of, and ii is
time that il was applied. The United
States Government dillydallicd too
long with this natter Mexico is will
ing, but she is weak Tho stronger
power of the Federal Government
must be invoked Cortina must be
crushed and the daring robbers OF our
