SUCCESS OF AN INDEPENDENT PAPER

SUCCESS OF AN lRDEPENDhN FAfhh
We have received from the Philadelphia
Daily Times short history of that paper
from its start to date. The first number
was Issued on the 18Th of May, 1875, and
sides $1,000 paid for the franchise of the
Evening Age, moribund paper, that it
might have admission into the Associated
Press it had reserve capital of 100000.
1t never had to draw but $4,000 from its
reserve fund, which was during the first
three months of its existence and before the
year expired it had repaid the $4,000 and
had dividend for its owners. 1t does not
owe dollar in the world, owns building,
which, with the lot on which it stands
cost $4,000, has 100000 worth of
machinery necessary for its publication, in
GLIDING two webb presses that print one
thousand copies of the paper every minute.
1t now has daily circulation larger than
that of all the other morning papers in Phil
adelphia combined. The Times is strictly
an Independent newspaper, and that is the
secret of its success 1t wears the collar OF
no man, clique or party, is conservative in
all things, and is always fair,
Just and impartial. ltgives all the news, for
eien and domestic obtainable, and speaks its
continents boldly on all questions, denounc'
ing wrong wherever found, and uphold
ing the right everywhere. 1t is
in its brilliant success, an overwhelming
proof that the Independent newspaper lives
and thrives, while all partisan papers, with
few prominent exceptions among the me-
tropolitan dailies, struggle through bret
and unimportant existence, without influence
while they live, and "unwept, unhonored and
unsung' when they die. The Times, from
its first issue to date, has refused Official
patronage of any sort, and declined assist
ance from all sources, relying upon it,
merits as an untrammeled newspaper" alone
And Il will ever be thus. Party patronage
and official support are broken reeds; they
are the wll-o' -the-wisp that lead so many
newspapers into the slough of despond ant
into untimely graves.

EVERYBODY don't know who Gumbeton
is, vet Gumbleton has won Immortality once
and is trying to do so again. Gumbleton
was County Clerk of New York, but at the
written request of the bar Governor Robin
son removed him from office. Gumbleton
was chiefin tho Tammany tribe, and those
warriors espoused his cause and opposed
Robinson for recollection, therefore, Gum
bleton defeated the Democracy in New York
last year, and therein Gumbleton achieved
immortality. He now sues Ex-Governor
Robinson in his capacityas citizen for $780,
900 damages for removing him from office in
his capacity MS Governor. In this, Gumble-
on seeks immortality again, but even though
he be doubly immortal he will still be Gum
bleton. If he succeed in his suit, it will be a
warning to Governors to BIO careful how they
chop off official heads, for if damages can be
secured, there would be a plentiful crop of
Gumbleton's.

Anything about Mr.. Speaker Randall
must be interesting to the public generally,
and especially TO our readers in Texas, as he
was the happy recipient OF the vote of every
Texas member OF Congress but one, for the
exalted position he fills. The Washington
correspondent Of the Chicago Times says:
Sam Randall would attract interest in
almost any crowd. He is tall, broad-shoul-
dered and very individual in his personal
bearing. His face is dead sallow white,
and stands out IN marked contrast with his
intensely jet-black eyes and coal-black hair.
He almost always wears steel-bowed glasses.
The lower part of his face, which is always
clean shaved, indicates bulldog frmness and
tenacity. He almost invariably dresses in
black. He lives in very quiet unpreten-
tious way, in very inexpensive house on
Capitol Hill. He Is never seen in carriage,
but walks about town. He used to be great
drinker several years ago, when he first en-
tered Congress. The temptations of Wash
ington life were, for time, TOO strong for
him. and a weaker man would have been
absolutely ruined. He brought that bulldog
tensci.y Of bis to bear, and absolutely fore
swora the use Of liquor some four years ago,
and since that time no ore has ever seen him
taste q drop. So for as private life goes, he
NOEL. He Is devoted to bis family AID

TnE INDIANS don't want any United
States court in their country and have petit
toned Congress against IT. II any body can
tell what an Indian does want, further than
plenty of prairie room nm abundance of
game and undsputed license to scalp the
whites whenever opportunity offers, why be
is a genius of the first order. Ii is not gea-
sonsblc to suppose that the Indians want a
court in their midst TO maintain laws they
violate every day, nor any thing else of II
civili2ing tendency.

A CONFERENCE AT MADRID.

Madrid, March 16.-England, France,
Germany, Italy, Belgium Portugal and the
United States have agreed to the proposal o,
Spain for conference, to be held at Madrid,
to arrange with the envoy of Morocco the
rules relating to the protection by foreign
powers of Jews and other subjects OF the
Sultan CT Morocco.
London, March 15.-At a meeting of the
Central Arctic committee to-day resolution
WAS passed appointing May, 1881, as the
time for the sailing of the new British Arc
tic expedition.
London, March Is. - A dispatch
from ST. Petersburg to the Daily
News says everything tends to 81 ow
that General Melikoh does not depend en-
tirely upon harsh measures to meet the pre-
sent emergency. The system of wholesale
arrests prac,iced last year has been diseon-
tinued There are individual arrests under
special circumstances, but they include no
body of note. The stories published ir
Vienna in pretended kilograms from st
Petersburg are utterly false nor is there any
foundation for the reports of wholesale ar
rests in provinces. The signs of the times
are noticeable in the greater freedom of the
press. The streets of ST. Petersburg have
been thronged to-day and Sunday by the low
or classes, promenading, and more open nil
amussments have attracted the crowds.

THE St. Louis Times has Washington
correspondent the ring Of whose sentences
omehow or other are strangely familiar. In
a letter to that paper written on the Sth
nst, this correspondent tells what he knows
about political matters in Texas, and he does
it in q style so mixed of badinage and earn
estness that il is difficult to decide whether
he means to be ir5nical or the opposite, but
we incline to the opinion that he deals in
both. He says of Governor Roberts, and
there is no irony in the remark, that ne
sfhinks if the truth were known, that the
State, through County courts should
educate orphans and the children OF
the impoverished and the helpless
alone" And further, that "l1e is
of those who do not think that all conceiva-
bic blessings result from density of popula-
ton. In fact he can hardly breathe, or
smoke his cob pipe freely unless the open
prairie about him be fifty miles square.

London, March l6.--A Vienna dispatch TO
the Times highly comments General Mesi
lSoll's treatment both of his subordinates and
of all who come in contact with him, aud say
it Is in striking contrast with the brutality
and contempt of officials generally, towards
tho Russian public. He not only inycsti-
gates things personally, and dispatches
promptly affairs which under the old regime
would have dragged along for months and
years, but he evidently means what he says,
and has. mot only asked the cooperation Of all
good citizens for the protection Of society,
but has requested the st. Petersburg
Town Council to send some of its members
TO advise with the Executive Committee. The
success Of this system raises The question
whether its application on n larger scale and
reorganization of this basis ofthe whole Rus
sian empire might not be undertaken.
GLADSTONE FLECrIoNEERING.
Mr.. Gladstone started to-day on m cleo
tioncering tour through Midlothian in the
Liberal interest. a meeting of the Radical
ms. ociation of lambeth last night TO support
the candidaturc Of Henry Dabouchre, editor
of tho Truth, for u seat in Parliament, ended
ina free fight. Lights were eXtinguished
and chairs broken. Cheers, groans and
Kisses prevented speaking. An attempt to
storm the platform was vigorously and sue
ccssfully resisted by its occupants, with fists,
sticks and chairs.
Mr.GladstoI e in addressing a crowd at the
railway station to-day, before hi: departure
for Midlothian, said II expect to be support
ed with II zeal such as will set Scotland an
example for the rest of the kingdom" He
said also that he had no doubt he would Sc
cure the object he had in
view in going to Scotland,
which was not only 10 win u seat for Mid

THE RETAIL DRY GOODS OF ST
LOUIS.
srruggs, vandervOrt Is Barnc

In what we propose to say in regard to the
retail dry goods trade of St. Louis, we wish
the readers of the HERALD TO distinctly re-
member that no one appreciates moro the
magnitude and elegance of stocks of goods
carried by the dry goods trade of Dallas,
and, in TACT, Northern Texas, adapted to the
general trade of the country, than we do.
1t must be conceded, however, that in new
country, being settled up as rapidly as Texas
is, by enterprising people Of comparatively
moderate means, the general dry goods mer-
chant could not afford to carry large stocks
of the finer and more costly fabrics, as the
demand for these goods must necessarily be
limited.
Then we have number of fam
lilies residing in our towns who have the
means to indulge their tastes in the purchase
of more costly goods than is required by the
general trade.
st. Louis being the most accessible centre
for oil the southwestern states, necessarily
will command not only the trade of the re-
retail dealers, but also that of persons who
ara disposed TO purchase more or less goods
IT retail not usually found in the general retail
stores Of the country. This want is supplied
most satisfactorily BY the old house OF

Facts Pumped from Reliable
Sources.

Messrs. CIute and Best, who during
the past few months have been Intro
duciug throughout Delaware and parts
OF Pennsylvania the Champion Pump,
invented and patented by the former
gentleman, recently illustrated the
merits of the article in the setting Of
two of their pumps. The first was set
last week for Mr.. John Peoples, Cashier
of the Union National Bank, on his
farm up the Lancaster Pike. The pump
was set on the back porch of his new
and elegant farm house. The spring
frem which the pump draws its water
lies $50 IT. distant and 294 #. lower
than the porch where water is delivered.
The pump is connected to the spring
by means OF pipe placed underground
below frost. A hose pipe being con-
nected to the muzzle Of the pump. We
ter was thrown over the roof OF the
house and to different points about the
yard and lawn. The second pump was
set yesterday for Mr.. Solomon Newlowe.
near New Castle, in we'll 81 feet 8
inches deep, and works SO easily that a
child can pump it. These pumps pos
sess points of merit over any other
pump in the market and being built
with view to durability certainly
commend themselves 10 farmers and
others.

A DrOwgY Con,

This morning, somewhere about four
o'clock, as the ies men were starting
out to serve their customers, they saw
something dark lying on the iron grating
on the pavement at the South west cor
ner of Fourth and Market streets. Was
it dog' No. A-a-cow No. A
|a-a-cati No, biggerin cat. "A
|-a-what Is it?
Yes, that was IL. A closer inspection
showed The thing had lifein It, for from
the nasal extremity proceeded noise
denoting strange internal dissensions
in the head. che lay like a warrior
taking his rest" with his policeman's
cap beside him; with his face upturned
to the musty moon, he dreamed Of tod
dies and punches by the peck.
The icemen left him alone in his
glory and went on their way knowing
that the city was safe while such sleep
less sentinels stood watch upon her
towers. Seriously though, 1t was too
soon in the morning for the fellow to be
supstruck, but the moons rays must
have had terrible effect upon him.

H Was the Cat.

Four young men were standing Of
Third and Madison streets last even
ing, when an individual came up to
them with look Of wonderment In his
eyes, and asked them to come with
him over into a vacant lot. He had
made terrible discovery, be said, and
he wanted them to see IL also.
They followed i him and presently
came upon white bundle hidden away
In the weeds. Visions Of an awful
tragedy passed through the minds Of
the party.
"Inisnticide!" they all gasped with
one accord.
~ feel the outlines OF the body"
said QUE Of the crowd. examining the
bundle. "Here IL the head and shout
ders and there IL the arm"
Thus they went on until they were
assured that IL was the body Of an I'M
fortunate infant, that had been killed
and concealed in the weeds.
Go for the Coroner" suggested one,
and he was about to start of, when the
others concluded TO push their investi-
cations somewhat iurther. This they
did, and in few minutes the cloth was
undone and full-sizsd tommy cat that
had sung his last midnight serenade
the night before and was cut off by a
boot.jsc while making rainbows Of
himself on q back fence, and then
wrapped up by mischievous boys, lay
on the grass.
The five young men did not stay long
in the neighborhood. AS one Of them
remarked, 1t was a "fslin'" subject.
