THAT QUININE MONOPOLY

A correspondent of the Now York
Tribune having risen in defense of the
poverty.s.ricken benefactors OF the
public who control the quinine trade
of the country, the New York Erening
Post says:
"Wo venture to suggest anew one or
twopoints upon which the correspon.
dent ofthe Tribuneis reticent. |. We con-
sumo in this country about | 100000
ounces of quinine each year, enhanced
in price go cents an ounce, or s720, 900,
by the tariff, and at least nine-tenths
of the s72O,00O 60 to two. firms of drug
makers in Philadelphia, commonly
supposed to be worth $40, 0,O00,0 900 each.
2. In the public hospitals of this city
there have been standing orders to the
doctors, that In every possible case
where a substitute for quinine could
be used money should be saved by
using it. 8. The government, that is
to say the people at large, get no re-
turn worth mentioning from the duties
on the drug. In the light Of these
facts alone the man speaks the Ian
guage Of folly who can say that the
interests of the Philadelphia blood
taxes are worth moments considera-
tion. We could allow their workmen
to 20 into the street and murder q
score OF men apiece far better, as far as
loss of life is concerned, than we can
allow the interests Of them and their
workmen to be subserved as it is now
by motality list only limited by the
bonds of a country Of 4t,000,0O0 of
people over which the ubiquitous tax

rHFsTz7E COLLEGE r

This costly institution has been crit
icized pretty severely for the past few
years, and recently the Legislature ap-
pointed committee 10 look into the
workings Of the establishment, and

growing heretofore iudulged in by
newspapers and individuals. The edi.
tor Of the Altoona Tribune, in a recent
issue OF that journal, INDUCES in re.
marks OF this kind 90
"An opinion has prevailed for some
time that the State Agricultural Col.
-lege was to a certain extent failure I;
that tho results were not up TO the
just expectations OF its friends, and not
on scale commensurate with the
great cost its maintenance entails on
the people Of the State. The Legisla-
tive Committee appointed to investi-
gate the matter have discovered that
there were a good many reasons to be-
licye that this institution, as well as the
experimental farms, has not been aspro-
ductive Of good results as we had a
right to expect. The State College
has cost far too much when the results
attained arc taken into consideration.
Ono OF tho graduates testified that
when he first went there there was a
large attendance OF pupils, but some
years later the professors were almost
as numerous as the students. We are
not Of tho opinion, says the Lancaster
Nep Era, that such institutions can be
made selfsustaining, nor was that the
idea uppermost in the minds Of our
representatives when they passed the
bill providing for their organization
The advancement of agricultural
knowledge throughout the State was
d primary consideration, and the State
could well afford to pay we'll for wide
dissemination of such information but
the people we're entitled to look for q
clear and economical administration Of
the affairs Of these institutions, and
that is apparently what they have moi
received. The unaccountable misman
agement of the public lands given to
the college proves that the. men IN
charge were at least most grossly neg
ligent OF the true interests OF the col
lego over which they exercised control
and that the public interests would be
subserved by their removal. In fact
a thorough overhauling Of the system
on which the State College has been
conducted seems to be imperatively de
manded, and return to more econom
ical and business.like methods"

Of the legislative power, and in vetoing
bills, has to be guided only by his Con.

Mr.. Eaton--l don't believe Hayes
has any Constitutional convictions.

that the election laws ought not to be

AN EDITORIAL rsHmAELrTE

MR. EDITOR In common with many
others, ] have heretofore doubted the
expediency of paying any attention
whatever TO the course OF q certain
newspaper, which is manifestly anx-
ious to receive recognition from the
respectable journals OF the town, but
the tenor of its local columns has been
such OF late that it would bo unjust to
our citizens to let 1t pass wholly I'M
noticed.
The sheet to which allude is the
Citizen. Its editor, for a newcomer,
IS undoubtedly assuming great deal.
He seems ambitious TO figure as pat
tern OF good manners, and to act as q
sentinel on the conduct OF otbers-a
custors morum, or guardian Of morali-
ty." In his efforts to MAINTAIN this du-
pick character, he speaks derisively of
some of the Oldest and most worthy
citizens; he alludes in an odious way
to men who are fortunate enough to
have an abundance Of this worlds
goods; he boorishly criticises highly
respectable ladies who SEQ fit TO visit q
place OF amusement; he sneers at the
advocates of temperance, and those
who preach against Sabbath-breaking
and last, but not least, by noting the
coming of frail females and the location
OF bagnios, he is TO all intents and pur-
poses advocating houses OF ill-reputc.

State Rights or Capitalization, Re.
public or a Despotism, Democracy or
Radicalism, is the question now before
the American citizens. The latter is a
tendency of our political system under
the Fraudulent Hayes and his courte-
sans, and those voters who are still in
favor of "virtue, Liberty and Inde.
pendence," should not be long in choos-
ing sides.

THE DEMOCRATIC IDEA.

The Republican organs who assure
their readers that "If the Democrats
felt confident of carrying tho next
Presidential election, they certainly
would not be so excessively anxious to
rereal the election laws, which would
be so formidable in tho hands OF q
Democratic Executive" mistake the
question. They forget that the Demo.
cratic party is patriotic. Else they
would know that il demands the re-
peal of bad laws because they are bad,
entirely regardless of.thc effect which
their presence in the statute books
will have upon its future political sue
cess.
The election laws, which the Demo
Gratis in Congress are now trying to
repeal, were drawn up and enacted by
the Radicals in their hey day OF inau.
ence, with the sole view Of keeping the
party permanently in power. And in
that fact is contained the basis OF their
stalwart opposition to the proposed
repeal.
The Democratic party tolerates no
such agencies. 1t proposes TO take up
the reins Of power at the bidding Of
the people and retain It's control OF the
Government until the people by their
votes demand that the trust be surren-
dered. The Democratic masses OF the

MORAL GLADIAroRs.--A Radical or

lewd women and bad men, and draw
ing Mr.. Tilden's salary. The man who
draws such hne sight in one direc-
ton, should not elaborate so highly in
another. But, then, that is the way
