THE PEOPLES MoNEY.-We have under
one government and one flag a territory
larger than that ruled by dozen Govern
ments in Europe; and the difference in the
salaries paid to kings and royalty, and
those paid the servants of the people in
our Republic is striking. The Gar of
Russia gets IS, S,250,000 per year or $4,000 a
day. The Sultan of Turkey gets annually
$6,OO0,O00, or $4,000 per day. Napoleon
II had a salary of $20,000,000 annually or
$l4,000each day. King William of Prussia
is paid $3,000,0O0 per year, and King Hum
bert S., 100000; and good Queen Victoria
manages to live on $2,200,000. Now, in
addition to these salaries, each sovereign is
furnished with dozen or more first class
residences free of cost.
In this country our President gets only
$4,000 year-just as much as the Car of
Russia gets in two days. General Sherman
receives in all, some $4,000 per year--only
a fraction more than the Sultan Of Turkey
gets each day. The whole expense of an
American Congress for a session of six
months, will not exceed-incidental and
all-$4, ,000,0 ,000-and this is enough in all
conscience.
The people of this country, says Col. For
ney, complain Of hard times. Let them
study the pauperism of England, and oul
word for it, they will deem the condition
of our poorer classes comparatively happy
one.

The Eastern Democrats.
WHOM THEY WILL STRIVE TO ELECT IN 1880 AND
now THEY WILL STRIVE TO DO 1T.

The following from the New York World,
the leading Democratic paper of that city,
is significant in that it indicates an uprising
in party against the "shot gun policy" and
in favor of free and untrammeled ballot
The selection of Mr.. Bayard as standard
bearer would be wise choice personally,
but he will have the misfortune to have
continually held up before him the laws of
his own State that are so manipulated in
depriving hundreds of colored men of the
use of the ballot, that the whole party has
refrained from going to the polls at all.
The World says:
SIN the Eastern States, and notably in
the States of Connecticut, New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, there is power
full Democratic party which is determined
to do its best in those States in 1880 to
elect a conservative Democratic President
like Mr.. Bayard or General Hancock, and
to inaugurate him at Washington when
elected. But the Democratic party in the
States we have named loes not expect OF
intend to accomplish that result with the
help of "a solid South made solid by sup
pressing the colored vote" On the con
trary, the Democratic party of the Eas
proposes to see to it that every voter il
this country, white or black, is permitted
freely to approach the ballot-box of hi
State and freely to deposit his vote therein
under regulations prescribed by the law o
that State, unawed either by local threat
or by Federal threats in the form of
national supervision If there is a Demo
cratic party to the westward of the Blu
Ridge to the intentions of which the scold
ing of Mr. Sherman, Mr.. Schurz and Nj
Taft has any relevancy, that party is ur
known to the eastward of the Alleghanie:

The United States consul at Leipsic, Ger

on the recent International Machine Market
held in that city, recites some facts which are
of the highest interest to our inventors and
manufacturers. That the demand for American

To show the extent to which our machines are

LONDON, August 20.-The failure OF the maize
crop in Bulgaria will entail q largely increased
consumption OF wheat. AS the wheat crop,
though OF good quality, has been somewhat re.
duced by dry weather, prices OF breadstunS will
be high on the lower Danube during the next
year. The statistical department of the board
Of trade announces that the acreage under wheat
Is ten per cent. less than that In 1878: under
oats, one per cent less; and under hops five per
cent. less. Eight per cent. more acreage is
under barley and six per cent. more under pota-
toes.

to read In the Texas criminal reports OF several
officers who were punished for shooting per-

arrest. An officer has no right to shoot q man
because he is not willing to be arrested, unless
he offers violent resistance, or in case Of felony

DRIVING THROUGH FOREST FIRE-Last
week Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Timer and daughter
drove from Frackville to Shenandoah, Schuyl-
XIII county, and met With terrible adventure
They had driven along for some distance when
they discovered that the woods were on fire
on both sides OF the road. After driving
through the fire several hundred yards the
smoke became so dense that the travellers were
nearly suffocated, and they had to lie down on
the wagon-bed TO prevent being smothered.
The horses were urged forward and the race
continued over the rough mountain road for a
considerable distance. with the flames roaring on
both sides and myr1adS OF sparks falling In and
about the wagon. Mrs. Uffner's dress caught
on fire and her husband dropped the reins to
assist her In extinguishing it, when she fainteI
IN his arms. While he was endeavoring to
bring his wife back to consciousness the horses
were tearing along at q breakneck speed, and
the wagon sWerved, 1olted and swung around in
anything but comfortable manner. Mrs. Uff-
ner became conscious In few seconds, how
ever, and just then her husband saw q cloud OF
dense black smoke enveloping the road, and
knew that they had reached the outskirts of
the fire ard were safe. The travellers were all
slightly burned, but fortunately escaped with
out receiving any serious INJURIES The heat
was SO great that the paint on the wagon was
entirely burned off, and the horses were badly
burned. On the same day the omnibus that
carries passengers from Frackville to Shenan-
doah ran the gauntlet, and the drive was
severely Durned.-( Lancaster {Pa1 Netc Era
