A CRUDE MEASURE.


The Philadelphia Record wisely
draws attention to bill before the
Legislature, the object of which is,
as expressed in the title, an act TO es.
tablish the Iron Industrial Schools of
Eastern and Western Pennsylvania.
AS that paper states, the whole pro-
position is crude and undigested. The
bill calls for $500, 900 to establish these
schools, but no member OF the Legis-
lature who has spoken on the bill has
youchsafed to inform the people, whose
money is to be voted away by the
hundred thousands what is 10 be the
proper scope and purpose cf these
contemplated schools how they are
to be managed, or what sort of indus.
trial education Is to result from the
proposed scheme 1t is, as has been
well said, "leap IN the dark" Why
do not the friends Of the proposed
measure let us know how they pro-
pose to organize and conduct these
schools, the plan to be adopted, &C.,
&c, So lar they have not done so and
yet they demand 100000 out of an
already depleted treasury, to be wasted
on a crude experiment which the pro-
jectors themselves are not able to state
what.

DEMOCRATIC SENsE.-The editor OF
the Fulton Democrat explains himself in
this way; "1f Mr.. Daniel o. Barr, Of
Pittsburg, expects to be the next Dem.
ocratic candidate for State Treasurer,
then Mr.. Daniel o. Barr's organ, the
Pittsburg Post, should stop its venom.
Gus Aings at Senator Wallace. We
care little about the merits of the per.
sonal fight between the Barrs and Mr..
Wallace, and could cheerfully support
the candidate of either faction for any
position, but we do say that the De.
mocracy of this State cannot afford to
go into any contest without the valpa-
bic aid and counsel of Mr.. Wallace.
He has boon the leader Of our Democ-
racy in almost score Of contests he
has ability, energy and tact, and no
man knows better than ho how to par.
ry the blows and thrusts of the enc.
my. We would have no faith in the
success Of any ticket that was formed
with the express purpose Of antagoniz.
ing Mr. Wallaces interests. There
should be entire harmony in the Dem
ocratic ranks next fall, and the single
candidate to be nominated OF our COM
ing State Convention should be chosen
with that end in view Let us adopt
Kentucky's motto: United we stand,
divided we fall" and give the enemy
b--bail Columbia.

SOOTHING ADvIcE.-Our neighbors
on the Western slope are trying to
kick up a iuss because Hayes vetoed
the China bill. The editor of the Balti.
more Gazette, consoles the Golden state
people, who seem 10 be excited, in this
way: California will not secede from
the Union hastily. If she should cut
herself off from the benIgnant United
States and break up her trade entirely
with China she might be able to run
pp wages for season, but we can hard.
ly believe that the prosperity would be
permanent. The Pacific Mail steamers
now bring s5O,OOO,oo0 of business to
San Francisco annually from China.
Besides all this the Federal Govern
ment has established the principle that
secession is naughtiness, whether in.
spired by the negro or Chinaman, and
it has pledged itself to whip and sub
jugate any State cutting dido of that
character. The average Californian
should keep cool.

FOLUNTARY ADVICE.


Our Harrisburg Representative, DR.
Bennett, spent Saturday, Sunday and
Monday in this borough, looking after
the interests of his constituents, and
returned to the Capital on Monday
evening. The Doctor wants his con.
stituents to correspond freely with
him in relation to public affairs,
whether theyare personally acquainted
with him or not. He wants to know
their desires, and then he will adjust
himself according TO circumstances
II is notorious that there is too little
communication between constituent
and Representative during the sitting
Of Congress and the Legislature. Some
persons suppose that because they are
not personally acquainted with their
Representative, that they have no
right to correspond with him. This
is gross mistake. There is nothing
that does a Representative so much
good as for back country voter to sit
down and give his member ahail
Columbia" for doing this thing or for
not doing that thing. Pursue that
policy, and we improve the manhood
of the voter and the Representative.
There is too little of this done. Let
us be more communicative upon this
point, ard the numerous misunder.
standings which arise between parties
will not be SO frequent.
