IT begins to look as though the sub
stitution of the turbine for the old and
reliable overshot water wheel at our
City Water Works was great blund-
er. The new turbine wheel has al
ready cost, we are told, about ten
times as much as it would have cost
to renew the wooden overshot wheel
that had been successfully working
forty years. And after all, it is fear
cd the turbine is a failure. We regret
this the more as the Democrats in
Council had been making an earnest
struggle 10 manage the city affairs in
the most economical way. Had the
turbine been put in by contract with
proper clause guarding the city
should it not perform the work, it was
promised it should, we would have
felt more secure.

ALL POLITICAL INTEREST TODAY
centers in Chicago. 1t is beginning
to be very doubtful whether clark
horseo is not found in the lead in the
Republican Convention there before
the sun goes down tonight, and
more than probable that Col. Fred.
Grant will be talking of the great
wrong done father, and the certain
impending defeat of the party, to-
morrow. This may not be SO, how
ever, since Conkling and the Grant
managers are still bold and defiant,
and declsre that Grant is the one
man that can carry New York and
be elected. There is no mistaking
the fact that the Democrats differ
with Mr.. Conkling and believe Grant
to be the weak candidate, and the
one whom they would be most
pleased to encounter because of their
conviction that no man can be elect
ed to third term.
The vote taken to-day may not de-
eide the case. But we shall not
have long to wait for the result,
which will be given to the readers of
the GAZETTE Immediately after it is
determined in Chicago.

The ICE MONOPOLY IN New YoRK.
The New York press are denouncing
the sale of ice in that city at penny a
round as the celebration of q swindle.'
The Star says: "When ice can be
bought in Maine and proftably sold in
that city for 81 a ton, why do New
York's consumers submit to the swindle
of such tariff as she ice combination
Imposes? There is no reason for it
save the insufficient one perhaps to be
found in the patient disposition to en-
dure wrong, trusting that some time OIL
other somebody will come to the relief
A penny pound for ice, or over $40 8
ton, is an instance of extortion which
may at leas. be cited to show what the
metropolis of America can stand for the
sake of genuine luxury.
1t is useless to inveigh against monopo.
lists who have demonstrated theil
superiority 10 the attacks of the pres.
and the remonstrances of customers
The only remedy is in action, and unit
practical measures are taken to breal
The combination 1t will laugh at our pro
tests.

Wholesale Slaughter. of Bull
Frogs.

THR LATEST SPRING DELIcAcY AT READ
INo REsrAURANTs.
This is the season for bnli-frogs. They
are plentiful in the waters Of Bsrks and
surrounding counties, and during the
past two weeks there has been quite q
wholesale slaughter of them by citizens
OF Reading. John Gabel, of .hIs city,
with three companions, caught 80 bull
frogs in one night along the Manatawny
creek. The largest generally weigh n
little over pound. They are caught at
night by walking along the stream aud
binding them by throwiDga strong light
on them with lamp having strong re
hector. They are then picked up and
placed IL bags that the hunters have fas-
tened around their bodies. The restaur-
anteurs of this city pay 90 cents to $1.25
per dozen for the frogs. A great many
of the frogs brought to Reading are re-
tailed among private families. In dress
lug them the skin ls cut loose at the
head and drawn off the same as cat
fish is skinned, only more force is re-
Quired. After being dressed and fried
they are sold over the ceuuter at 10 to 20
cents each.-Redding Eagle.

THE Republican claims to have
made fair and impartial report of
the Democratic county meeting, and
says the GAZETTE "saw no disorder. :"
As usual it is false in both particu-
lars. The GAZETTE did observe the
disorder and want of decorum, and
referred to it. But the GAZETTE did
not hear the violent language attribu-
ted to the President in his replies to
the half dozen or more voices that
claimed his attention and we do not
believe they were used. They were
nninAd hy tho -ReeaA.Ll!--.--y 1-..L.,
for partisan effect. But we submit
whether it is fair or honorable to put
oaths on paper and attribute them to
others.

Z. AS sECesD Ssa1 GLASS MATTER
WEDNESDAY. JUNE >. 1850.

THE Democratic people and the
Democratic press i'll the South are
looking on and wondering If the Re-
publican party in convention at Chi
oago dare to make good their promi-
ses and pledges to the negro, oft re-
peated, to hold him as their equal and
elevate his, race to the level of the
white in official positions. The South
ern negro is clamorous for the fulfill
ment of this promise that has been
wrung in their ears for half a genera
ton and is yet deferred. They now
insist that the Republican ticket shall
give death blow to the "color line"
by being adorned with the name of
Senator Bruce, or some other negro
as the candidate for Vice President.
If q negro is not nominated at Chi
cago it will be hard for the negro
delegates from the Carolinas and the
Gulf States to explain the matter
away, under the criticism of the press
in the South. In seventeen years un-
der these promises to the negro of
equality, Republican Congressman
and Republican Presidents have
managed to keep one negro cadet at
the West Point Military Academy out
of the three or four hundred annually
appointed. One negro cadet, and he
slit his ears and attempted to charge
the crime upon his white fellow cadets.
The looming man" whom the Repub-
ican spinsters shouted over so Justify
some twenty years ago seems not to
be quite the superlative being pic
tured in their imaginations while hum
ming the war songs of 1864. We
hardly think the negro will fare any
better at Chicago than he has hereto
fore. We shall see.

Tissue Ballots.

From the Baltimore Gazette.
There has been q deal of bother at
the North over the alleged "tissue-
ballot" frauds, by which it is claimed
South Carolina was carried for the
Democrats in 1876. The old slander
that fair expression of the will of
the colored voters could not be OBJ
tanned at the South, owing to bull
dozing tactics, was pretty thoroughly
exploded before the publication of the
facts in the Whitaker case, but that
affair gave the finishing touch of gro
tesqueness to the hackneyed absurdity.
Charges of intimidation and violence,
therefore being no longer tenable, it
was found necessary to hit upon some
other evidence of suppression of
Southern negro votes. This evidence
was finally manufactured out of the
old tissue ballot fraud, which has been
familiar campaign stock in trade at
the North for years. There is not, we
venture to say, single city in the
North in which exactly the same
charge is not brought by one party or
the other at every election that is held,
And as to disfranchisement of voters,
what ground of complaint, after ali,
has the North against the South, in
view of the notorious disfranchise-
ment of thousands of lohite voters in
Rhode Island and Massachusetts ? But
We do not admit for one moment that
any such wholesale system of fraud
exists i'll any one OF the Southern
States, for the simple reason thai, even
supposing the political managers of
those States were willing to take the
risks of such scheme, it is not
necessary for them to resort to any
such expedient.
Nov UriaU DouUiiSIn white men lave
been admitted once more to the full
enjoyment of their fra nchises it is not to
be doubted that there is a clear anti
Radical majority III every Southern State.
why, therefore, should Democratic l. ad-
ders place weapon in the hands of their
opponents unnecessarily by attempting
so bareface1 a fraud? On the contrar we
believe that the "tissue-ballot" business
is shrewd dodge of. the enemy to manu-
facture sentiment at the North. II is. af-
ter all, a historical Republican device,
having first been introduced i'll the South
by the Republican party in Florida and
afterwards transplanted to Alabama and
other Southern States. If it is now resort
ed to by Southern Democrats, which we
do not believe, it is simply another
illustration Of the fact that schemes of
this Kind sell ON fail to return to plague
the inventor. As the Washington
correspondent of the New York Herald
commenting on debate in the Senate re-
Gently on the subject remarks: at is
amusing to hear Republican Senators
boldly and gravely accusing the Demo.
Gratis OF election frauds when they know
that there is no kind OF election fraud and
violence which was not systematlcally
practlced by their own party for years
not IN one Southern State, but in almost
all of them and when they resisted every
effort of men like Mr.. Bayard at this
session to improve the Frederal election
laws, which are acknowledged by
Republicans like Mr.. Garfield to need
amendment in order to prevent the
grossest abuses. In this case as in many
others of late the Stalwarts have simply
been hoist with their own petard.

Mr.. JAMES A. GEORGE denies
that Blaine got any share of the
corruption fund distributed by the
Texas Pacific Railroad Company,
for the reason that no papers in Mr..
Georges possession refer in the re-
motest degree to the Maine Senator.
But Mr.. Georges conclusion is too
broad for his premises. The natur-
al inference is that Mr.. Blaine OBJ
served greater caution in the Texas
