WE notice some complaint or com
ment on the fact that Mr.. Hooton, Of
Chester county, has not been invited
TO again act as Chairman Of the State
Central Committee. We have the
highest admiration for the intelligent
and Independent Republicans Of old
Chester county, but none for the afore-
said Mr. Hooton. Az we understand
the matter, Mr.. Hooton, then Chair
man Of the State Committee, is respon-
sible, more than any other person, for
the early call made for the State Con-
vention. lie had control Of that
matter, and should not have permitted
himself TO be buIldozed as be was,
and we have no doubt the Chester Re-
publicans look upon him in that matter
In this light.

NOT CORRECT.

NO1 CoRkECT.
[Beaver Times, Feb. l9.1
The published statement that the
"unit rule" was overthrown at the
last Republican National Convention
by only the beggarly majority of 6, is
not correct. 1t was voted down by a
majority of AZ, and this, with Penn
svlvania in favor of the rule. But, no
matter by what majority it was "set
down" upon, it is wrong in principle,
is subversiye of the rights of the Con-
gressional Districts, makes a mere
puppet of the delegate, and is more
over in direct violation of the call it
self; and if it is attempted in the forth
coming Convention to enforce the rule
so as to drown the popular will and
wish, and force into nomination some
one whom the people do not desire,
and whose candidacy would imperil
the success of the party, then it ought
to be kicked so hard. and so high, that
no one will ever again have the hardi-
hood to mouth it in State or National
body.

tion to all in an eminent degree and
be candidate who all would be proud
Of Senator Blaine Is also Pennsyl-
vanian by birth and that Is one Of the
reasons why the Republicans Of this
State have rallied TO him as they have.

REVOLT AGAINST CAMERON.

Especial to the Pittsburgh Dspntch.1
WAsHINGToN, Feb. 20--Gen Harry
White informed your correspondent to-
day that there was sure to be bolt
against the unit rule in the Pennsylva-
MIA delegation to the Chicago Conven-
ton; that large number Of Blaine
men in the delegation were plastered
oil over with instructions from their
counties to vote for Blaine, and would
not now be transferred like lot Of
mutton by Don Cameron to Grant.
Senator Cameron, the writer IL in
formed IL greatly disturbed at this re-
bellion, and is straining every nerve to
defeat the threatened bolt. The only
plan he has yet adopted Is to try and
buy up the members inclined to vote
according to their convictions by prom
ises Of Offices and other rewards in the
future. For this purpose confidential
agent Of the Senator has been sent TO
Pennsylvania, with instructions TO see
every man put down on the list as
threatening to bolt for Blaine and to
offer him almost anything If nc will
stop talking against Grant and Came
ron. 1t Is understood, If this fails, Il
general policy Of bulldozing 10 to bc
begun with the idea Of forcing the
Blaine men into submission TO the die
tates OF the Harrisburg Convention.

Tho Veriest Bosh.

Beaver Times, beb. II.
All the talk about Blaine getting
the solid Pennsylvania delegation at
Chicago, in case Grant Is out Of the
way, il the veriest bosh imaginable.
This was only trick TO delude sim
pie minded delegates at Harrisburg.
The same men who slaughtered Blaine
Mt Cincinnati, will do the same thing
at Chicago, if the opportunity occurs.
If this was not the intention, why was
Washington county, the place Of his
birth, 80 studiously excluded from repre-
sentation at Chicago? The venerable
Hon. J. II. Ewing could not even be
given a place at the foot Of the deIega-
ton as alternate. No, no. Rest AZ
sured that Mr.. Blaine, aside from
those selected and instructed before
the late convention met, will not re-
ceive the vote Of single member Of
the delegation--uulcss it should hap
pen that he could pull through with
out aid from that quarter, in such
event we presume the whole dclega-
ton would flock TO his standard at
once.
One OF the most disreputable things
the Harrisburg Convention did was to
set aside a. venerable and highly re-
spccted man as Maj Ewing, who
had been uamed by his county, Wash
ipgtvp, - . delegate 70 the HatiupaA

From the reports received at The
Treasury Department il il learned that
the imports received nt the port Of
New York during January last were
greater than ever before in the history
Of the Government for that month
reaching in value over forty millions.
While there is no apprehension ut the
Treasury Department that the balance
Of trade will be so much changed as TO
affect the value Of gold, the danger
that drain will come will justify the
Secretary in keeping large balance
on hand in case Of an emergency.

THE revolt going on. among the Re
publicans Of this State had it, origin
in the early call made for the State
Convention, by which "snap judg-
ment" on the masses was intended
and finally taken by the action Of the
Harrisburg Convention when it as
sembIed. If such unfair action il re-
peated at Chicago it looks now as if
the party will be greatly weakened in
this State.

Nh. LEWIS L. WALKER, as will be

CANCER.

This disease like many others is regarded
as incurable. 1t is not so. If it is taken in
time it is as easily cured as wart or corn.
We know very well that it is a fearful disease
and will eat away until it destroys life, that
is if it is neglected, but if it is attended to
when it first makes its appearance, or soon
after there is no trouble in eradicating Ii
from the system. Persons Will have to be here
during part of the treatment, consequently
there is no use writing to me for information
whether it can be cured without my seeing the

Convention, and the doing SO is one
Of the facts that cause some to fear
that those the Convention did permit
TO stand, who had first been named by
their counties, are such as can be ma
nipulated at Chicago. Maj. Ewing
was a warm friend of Mr.. Blaine and
perhaps that explains the matter.

A ooRREsPoNpENr ANSWERED.


We print elsewhere letter from Bear
river resident, on the debris question. Our
correspondent is of opinion that the dam
ming of the streams in the mountains, and
the dyking OF the valleys, should be con-
Quoted separately and he thinks that the
RECORD UNION ought to come to the aid
OF the farmers In the advocacy Of gen.
teral taxation to be applied in the debris
cease" Had Mr.. burst read our article on
this subject in last Fridays issue he would
have perceived that we then and there
presented a tolerably strong argument in
behalf of the very principle he desires to
see applied to the subject. We there
showed that the debris case is pre-emi
nently entitled to rank among those un.
dertakings for the furtherance of which
general taxation is commonly employed,
and we endeavored to make it clear that if
the State insists on protecting the n.y.
drauhc mining interest. on the ground that
it produces benefits to the community. it
must, by the same line of reasoning,
take upon itself the chief burden of
those relief works which hydraulic
mining has rendered necessary. On
this point therefore we and our CORE
spondent have no cause of difference. In
regard TO his ideas concerning separation
of the work, however, no such accord is
possible. He is quite mistaken in sup
posing that this journal labors under any
misapprehension regarding the results of
engineering Investigation. We have
studied this whole question so closely that
we may fairly claim to understand it. II
has been ascertained that while the heavier
debris descends slowly in the rivers, an
enormous quantity of finer sediment,
which cannot be retained by dams, passes
down them, and that it is this lighter mat
ter which has raised and is raising the beds
of the streams, and threatening to destroy
navigation, and endanger lands and cities.
Now there is one method by which the
river beds can be secured out, and this de-
post be carried down to the sea. and that
is by building dykes or leyees along the
