TUESDAY EVENING, JAN. q, 1881.
Instructed Representatives.

llc fepUOllcdi NlemOefS OF tne LcglS-
ture from Lancaster county show their
| usual disposition to put on the ring col
lar. Instructed for Grow they vote for
the Oliver candidate for chairman of
their caucus. We cannot say that we
are sorry that Mr.. Grow has proven how
Intellectual alc the peoples instructions
to their representatives. as to the officers
they slial! choose. 1t is hardly matter
about which the people should be asked
to instruct their representatives; and
certainly it is not proper for men to go
before the people as candidates for the
senatorial Office .!nd urge the election of
representatives pledged to their support.
Such se]f-seeking is very obnoxious. n
United States senator should be taken
from Il better cIiss of men than such as
would seek preferment by these devices
And, more than this, it is to he re-
menbercd that the choice of senators is
reposed 10y the constitution in the Legis-
lature, and not directly in the people.
But if the practice OF instructing
representatives as to whom they
shall choose should be established
the ide;s Of the constitution would be
nulEiied; and it should be amended to
provide for Il direct election Of United
States senators by the people. If it is
right that they should be thus chosen it
should be 50 provided l,y law, to the end
that the peoples voice shall not lie de-
featcd by the failure Of their representa-
tives to obey their instructions.
We have seen how the design of the
constitution that the president and vice
president of the United States shall not
be chosen directly by the people has been
destroyed by the universal acceptance by
the electors of the instructions they get
from the party that elects them. Yet it
is obvious that if it is right that the peO-
pie shall vote directly in choosing these
officers, rs they practically do, the form
by wiicl, they do it should also lie made
direct tor it may lappesi any day that
al electOr who has been chosen for one
candidate niay vote fcr another. Such
a result was feared with reason in the
late contest, i'll Virginia, where there
were two Democratic electoral tickets,
one of which was strongly suspected of
design Of selling out to the Republi-
cans. if it had l,een successful as it was
not.
Our Lancaster county Republicans,
when they violate their instructions for
Grow can say with force, that the people
had 10 business to instruct them in the
discharge of duty which was constitu-
tionally that of the legislator and not of
the people. But they have undoubtedly
been guilty Of deceiving their constitu-
ents us to their purpose in this regard;
and VIC Can show them no way to justify
that. IT they had proposed being inde-
pendent, they should have SO declared
themselves before the election.

Cow Killed by an Engine.

Yesterday afternoon the engine of an ex-
ira freight train, on the Quarryvillc rail-
road, bound north, ran into two COWS near
the trcstle work just north of New PrOvi-
dcnce. One COW was knocked off the track
embankment and was killed, and the other
escaped. The engineer whistled for the
COWS as soon as he saw them in hopes of
frightening them off. He was unable to
stop his tram and one was killed. The
fireman, fearing there would be an acci-
dent, jumped from the engine and fell
some distance, without being injured. The
cows belonged to Gabriel Smith.

The !sOyern0r's Message.

Governo- Hoyt proves himself ;
formidable rival of Mr.. Hayes in the
length of his message. He has greater
excuse, however, in the fact that his
chance only occurs biennially, while the
privilege and duty Of sending his views
to the people and their representatives is
imposed upon the national executive an
nually. The concerns of state government
come nearer home to the people, too, and
arc of greater practical and immediate
interest to them than national affairs.
There are portions of Gov. Hoyt's mes
sage, in which his views are elaborated
that merit further examination than the
present general view of his communica.
tion to the Legislature. For he is Il vel!
equipped student and thoughtful man,
despite his political weaknesses, who has
doubtless given close attention to the
subject CT reformation in penal institu-
tions, which he treats at such length,
ard the nurture of children in poor
houses. Experience teaches us that pre-
vention Of pauperism and crime is easier
than their cure, and enlightened states
manship demands attention to it. If the
governor shall impress a feasible policy
to this end upon our state system of
penal and eleemosynary institutions, he
will signalize his administration by at
least one monumental work.
The governor wisely calls the atten-
tion Of the Legislature to the present un-
due flow of receipts into the sinking
fund and the deficiency in the general
fund, a arrangement Of revenues which
calls for immediate readjustment. and
which in connection with Il revised tax
law to be presented at this Legislature
will form Il subject meriting deliberate
and careful legislation. The attorney
general and auditor general are fitly COM
mended for Il thorough collection of back
taxes without any Of the scandals at
taching to their collection which were
exposed in the Olmstead-B -Bayard-Lea
case.
The other topics treated in the mes
sage, ,thereview of the departments given,
and the suggestions made, are worthy of
attention, and the high tributes paid by
the governor to the memory of two dis
tinguished citizens Of Pennsylvania who
have diel during his term, both members
of an opposing PARTY. are no less credita-
ble to the chief magistrate than deserved
by the subjects of the notice.

Rev. Father Hickey, the pastor. The
party reHdeZvoused at st. Mary's parsOn-

incident, but with an immense amount Of
fun and merrmcnt, all hands alishted ut

for his generous treat.
A party of score or more young ladies'
and gentlemen left this city for Lititz last

party given by one of the ladies compli-
mentary to her companions. The ride out
was delightful, and arrived at the village,
a bouEtiful repast was spread for their en-
tertainment vt the Springs lotcl, which
having been dispatched, there was music,
dancing and other social enjoyment, and
a: :: late hour the party returned more
than well pleased with the evenings

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE,
THE LEAF.

state OF the Local Tobacco Market.
During the past week our local market
has been unusually quiet. The holiday
season always causes 3 suspension of
active operations among tobacco men, and
this season the extremely cold weather
has been another argument to keep the
dealers at home and not to expose them
selves to temperature 20 degrees below
zero. Even the growers have. in a great
measure, been compelled to lay off on ac-
count Of the extreme cold and the dry at
moSphere, So that the weeks operations
may be very briefly summed up thus No
tobacco taken from the poles very little
stripped and still less sold. Our local
packers and the resident agents of New
York, Baltimore and Philadelphia houses
have been picking up few lots Of good
leaf, but they are reticent as to prices.
About all that they are willing to say is
that the crop rs a whole is badlyabitten by
the flea that tho bulk Of it is very ulde-
sirable and will not he lifted except ut
very low prices, and that that part of the
crop which is good, "a very small proper
ton, they say will bring good prices.
On the whole the prospect of speedy lift
ing of the crop is not encouraging. This
time last year all was activity and hustle
-now everything is dull and quiet.
During the past week about 100 cases of
1879 were sold in this city OIL private terms.
AS the amount of this crop lessons in
volume tie prices s;iffen.
There has thus far been very little of
the crop of 1880 delivered to the purchasers
This morning few sled loads, purchased
some weeks ago were delivered at the
warehouse of Messrs skiles s. Frey. 1t
was grown in West Cocalico and sold for
20 and ). f N. Bol.cn has purchased a
CLIP Of acres grown in Ephrata for 12,

also bought three crops of very

ties. The wrappers Of these crops ranged
from "A to 40 inches. The leaves from

spective weight was IA !, Is. andll1 ounces.

a sOKKOWFUL FAMILY.

GIad.iene,i by Levi Sersenis's Generosity.
Christian Rudy and his wife, and four
bright children. the Oldest aged about
fourteen, had little farm in Wurtem-
berg. Their horse died and in their lack
of means to farm their little place they
turned ther land into money and set out for
America. Landing in New York, they
were advised to 90 to Kansas to seek their
fortune. They left New York on Christ
mas day and 1T was cold day wien
they landed fricndless and fGrlorn in a
Kansas town. They were charged
Sc day for their accommodations
and it did not require much German
thrift to calculate that long before the
time came for them to enter upon farm
work their little stock Of money would be
exhausted. In despair and heart sick
and started to go straight back to Ger
many.
Yesterday between Pittsburgh and this
city the family attracted the attention of
benjamin Buch and enlisted the interest
of Levi Sensenis, returning from the
Western cattle markets. The fOrlOrn con-
dition of the family and the dreary
prospect before the trayel-worl: children,
especially gained for them Mr.. Scnsenig's S
active sympathy, and he invited them to
stop off here, agreeing to find them work
and a home. They were taken to hotel
and made comfortable last night and MIR.

forced, the legislative duties and powers
of the superio: government may we'll cease.
The success or failure of local (municipal)
government is then the Just measure of the
activity. intelligence and patriotism of the
people.
In general. the bill proposed by the
commission conforms to these principles.
The most essential points Of concentrating
executive duties. divorcing them from the
legislative powers, and fixing the RESPONSE
bility OF properly or improperly executing
the municipal will, ard making prompt
correction of the errors of incapacity or
the crimes of dishonesty, the bill fully
recognizes. The machinery by which
these results are reached, is commended
to your adoption. 1t is to DC hoped that
the labors of the commission will not be
lost, and that the civic legislation OF the
commonwealth may be wisely improved,
saving tue full autonomy OF the municipal
corporations at the same time that it
guards the rights of the ccrpovators.
lIhe balance Of the message deals, in a
formal way, with those subjects of state
interest which arc Of minor Importance
and need no special recon- incubation, but
OF course must bc noticed in 4 governors s
message. The progress or the geological
survey is noted, the anthracite region being
az yet untouched and reserved for continu-
GUS and exhaustive work. The state board
Of agriculture is commended for its vaiu-
able papers and IFS success in cl,cckin
plcuro- pneumonia. The condition Of the
National Guard is highly approved and its
rank and file praised. The details OF the
condition of the penal and cleenlosyIlarv
institutions are to be found in the report
of the board of public charities. spccia!

pressed with the cogitstion of the smoker,
whose soliloquy was recorded by the HERALD

moral lies before the reader.
