BUT, BEHOLD lit is not probable
that the country will be deceived by
the beating Of the Republican tom.tom.
Through gradual change in the
national sentiment the political charac-
ter OF the two Houses has been revoi
lutionized. But, behold No sooner
does the Democratic majority go about
repeating the partisan legislation set
up by their predecessors than the Rc-
publican managers start the hollow
hearted cry of"revolution." The truth
seems to be that they havO been so
long in authority that any attack upon
their supremacy has come to be regard
cd as an attempt upon the life of the
Government itself, and deliberate ef-
fort to undermine the prosperity of the
nation, The Stage-thunder in which
Mr.. Garfield indulged in Saturday well
illustrates the method pointed out

SPEAKER LoHG's BILL.-The Pitts.

No DIFfEREsoE.-Although our gov
ernment, State and Federal, is based
on Constitutions written boundaries,
plain enough to govern all, it seems
impossible, nevertheless to properly
restrain Radical Legislators, at Harris
burg or Washington, when that party
is in the majority, whom all have
sworn before God and man, that they
would protect, defend and live up to
the requirements of those documents.
The last square violation in our State
Legislature is the passage of resolu
ton appropriating iour thousand and
one hundred dollars for the expenses
of the Inauguration of Governor Hoyt.
II passed the Senate finally last Friday,
and was sent to the House for concur
renee. Mr.. Ermentrout raised q point
of order that the resolution was un-
constitutional, because it proposed to
pay claim against the State for which
there was no previous authority of
law, but be was outvoted by the Re-
publicans. The resolution will be pass
cd by the House without any trouble
and the State will pay for the Hoyt
circus.

A Wall from New England.

New Englanders, with some plausible
reasons, and lamenting the decline in
wealth and comparative influence of the
farmer class of New England. The boys,
they say, 60 west or drift away to the great
cities, the farms 60 to decay and afford but
scant sustenance to the old people who
remain, the girls grow into spinsters, over
worked, wrinkled and of uncertain temper,
and in many cases the lands are passing
into the possession of thrifty foreigners,
whose means, small as they are, suffice to
purchase acres of the barren and exhausted
soil. 1t is asserted with fair truth that the
New England farms which in these days
attract the admiring eye are either the
"show places" of the city gentlemen or the
lands owned by persons whom the accident
of inherited wealth supplies with the means
of comfort; and that the yeoman class
proper, who derive support from land and
acquire the virtues of the sol, ARE fast becom.
ing extinct. The New England journals, and
particularly the country weekly news.
papers, which speak with local knowledge,
make these complaints with dismal itera.
tion.
But after all is the change, in large
view of national advancement, one to be
bewailed? If New England virtues are
IHTlNlHB less luSIlly aL nome, II Cn0 ola
rural esquire" class is unknown, if society
is more mixed and less coherent, yet has
not the good been transplanted and not
lost? 1t will be found in the countrys COM
mon stock Of enterprise, in the restless and
productive energy which expands the re-
sources Of the Great West, in the intelli-
gence which educates and refines the nation
wherever the stalwart Puritan stock takes
root. If the New Englander cannot console
himself with so broad and national rehec-
tion let him also remember that the process
of transmigration to the West cannot be
everlasting. In time even the great vacant
spaces of Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota
and California must be filled with popula.
ton, and it will be strange if within a
century the reverse flow of wealth and
people to the picturesque hills and shores of
New England does not begin.
If one even now looks over the registers
of New England summer inns he will be
amazed at the proportion of wealthy West
ern guests. 1t is too much strain on the
Imagination to believe that ere long the
same attractions which now bring out
western cousins on long Summer journeys,
eastward will make many of them perma-
nent dwelers in the states where their
forefathers landed and lived IN. Y. Post.

AMERICAN GRAIN FOR ITALY.-The United
States Consul at Naples, Italy, in dispatch
TO the Department Of State repeats the
statements previously made of the fall
ing off in the grain crops of Western
Europe. The question is, Can America
supply the deficiency? The Russian crops
are said to be good and the ports of the
Black Sea full of grain waiting expectation.
The Consul is surprised to learn that during
the last eighteen months thirty.four cargoes
of corn, or 744,000 bushels, have been re-
ceived at Naples from the United States.
II is not used for food but for distilation.
Much of it arrives in damaged condition
owing to bad packing. If America can
compete with Russia the Italian market
may be worth attention.
