In the discussion of StreetClean ng affairs incl
dental to the submission to Governor Cornell of the
case against the Police Commissioners some person
connected with the former Bureau of Street Clean
ing was quoted rs saying that the new Commissioner
was spending twice as much money a month as the
former Commissioners had used. We are now in
formed that during the month of July Commissioner
Coleman expended $751; 900, and this we are told is
more than the former Commissioners spent in any
month OF summer or winter. At any rate it was
moro than the average monthly appropriation al

the streets were IN far condition Under these cir

stated, Is large. Doubtless Mr. Coleman has a good
explanation OF the matter, and will soon give IT.

OF his monthly expenditures thus far They are ant

Our Republican friends, at least
some of them, are somewhat concern.
cd about Chester \. Arthur. There
IS u possibility that Arthur may be-
come President of the United States.
and that contingency is not pleasant
matter TO contemplate. Arthur, how.
ever, must have character and the
Philadelphia North American, is one
of the organs that comes to his de-
fence. In late issue of that journal
an attempt is made to give Arthur a
character by misrepresentation of
the causes which led to his being
bounced by Hayes and Sherman from
the important position Of collector Of
customs at the port Of New York.
The North american has the enrontcry
TO speak Of his removal Us follows:
" Upon his personal character or his
official integrity there has never been
placed suspicion OF stain, and il will
be remembered that in substituting an.
other in his place AS Collector of the
Port of New York, President Hayes did
so with the most positive expression Of
approval Of the fidelity with which the
public service had been administered. D."
Let Us see. Mr.. Hayes once wrote
letter to the Senate OF the United
States in which he gave his reasons
for the removal Of Arthur. That let
ter was dated Executive Mansion,
January 81, 1879" and the positive
expressions of approval Of the fidelity
with which the public service had been
administered b. this man, must be
found in the extract from that letter
which reads as follows
with my information Of the facts in
the case. and with deep sense OF the
responsible obligations imposed upon
me by the Constitution TO take care
that the laws be faithfully executed" ="

the officers in question, Arthur and
Cornell and to make the nominations
now befor" the senate, in order that
this important Office. ,the New York

islered.
This is an endorsement of Arthur's
personal character and official in
tegrity' with a vengeance, and we'll
may the North american and kind
red sheets claim that upon him there
has never been placed suspicion Of
stain; - but the hypocrisy and un-
truthfulness Of the claim will, never

BELLEFONTE, Pa, THURSDAY, JULY IA, 1881.

A VIRGINIA reputation committee
has lately visited Washington to solicit
aid from Secretary Blaine in the eff
fort to secure the merger of the Re
publican party of that State in the
piebald party of Boss Malone. The
Secretary being much engaged in
waiting upon the stricken President,
and the performance Of his official
duties, was not in n mood to discuss
the propriety of the Virginia Repub-
licans surrendering their identity to
become mere hod-carriers in the work
of building up a party for Malone
and Riddleberger. They, therefore,
came over to Pennsylvania to meet
Don Cameron. Well, Don may help
them. He has the dimes, but whether
he will invest in stock that will not
make direct returns, is doubtful. But
still Don is an eloquent rooster-put
him on the stump, He might do
much to prove to the Republicans of
Virginia that political honesty is but
a sham-that success only is honor,
however obtained. Such sentiments
he. can advance with great power.
They are Unborn and part of himself.
They are the teachings of his vener-
able sire, and are all that is necessary
or applicable to the repudation side
in the Virginia contest.
