Rules for the State Democracy.

The movement to provide rules for the
government of the Democratic party Or
ganization in this state, TO regulate it's
state committee and conventions. is
timely one and should not have been de-
layed SO long. Difficulties, dissension and
disorganization have arisen and pre-
vailed in the past for the lack of
them. These were recalled to some
extent in the meeting of the state
committee yesterday, as related in our
Harrisburg correspondence, though to a
much greater extent they were obvious
to all the members present and to every
Democrat who has participated in the
management of the party in this state
for the past ten or fifteen years. The
movement for better system of organi.
ZatiOn comes from no single quarter, and
is the voice of no faction nor special in
tereSt. 1t is demanded by the rank and
file everywhere.
What particular direction the rules
proposed may take, rests entirely with the
competent committee of experienced or
ganizers selected 10y Mr.. Dill; and they
will doubtless confer at an early date on
the matters entrusted to them. No report
made by them will, however, lie even
submitted to the state convention until
it has been considered and has been ap-
proved by the state committee, which is
to have Il special meeting at Williams
port just before the convention, to hear
and to act upon the report. Meantime,
We can assure the Democracy of tile
state that the newspapers and individ-
ual members of the party cannot be too
free with suggestions touching the need
ed reforms and the best way to secure
them. The committee will want to hear
all such.
Meantime it may be assumed that
among the propositions which will er-
gage the attention of the committee are
the establishment of a central organiza-
tiOn Tor the party on 4 different basis
than that of the present state commit.
tee, for instance, 4 conference committee
composed of all the chairmen of county
committees, and a small executive COM
mittee of, say, nine, to be chosen from
sub-districts of the state, for the direc.
tion of the general campaign; a uni
form manner of selecting the state
chairman and longer tenure for him I;
a permanent, salaried state secretary {;
provisions for temporary organization
of state conventions and to avoid or SET
tie contests over seats. These and
many kindred subjects of greater or less
importance have been suggested for coz
sideration, and they are before the Demo
cratic press and politicians for discus
SiOn,::

Two GOOD Things,

IHIEluclpNld 1lHlcS.
The Democratic state committee settled
upon two good ideas at its meeting yester-
day It put off the state convention to
the last days of September, thereby pro
viding for short campaign-only a little
moro than month-and it took steps to
ward a more compact organization of the
party. The first of these ideas will meet
with general appreciation Nobody wants
any moro Of campaign this year than
may be necessary. and as only state
treasurer is to be elected four or five weeks
of campaign will do as we'll as SO many
months.
The Democratic state committee has Sc
lected Williamsport as the place of meet
ing of the next state convention, which will
be held late in September. The Democracy
seems to be in pretty good spirits just now
and feels as if the next state treasurer
will be named at Williamsport. The selec-
tion of that place is thoroughly graceful
compliment to one of the most hospitable
and charming of the interior cities, and
those who know the people there know
that every delegate to the convention will
be- made to feel entirely at home. Hot
are ample, and the city
has an abundance of everything calculated
to delight Democratic politician.

a Wild steer.

On Monday Mr.. Frederick Banker,
butcher, Of North Mary street, purchased
u steer from Mr.. John w. Mentzcr ut tho
Lancaster stock yards. Along with five
other head Of cattle it was started to be-
driven into town, but on reaching Duke
street ran of and was not captured until
some distance out the Lititz pike, when,
after u good deal of trouble, it was re-
turned to the drove yards. Yesterday after,
noon another attempt was made to bring
his stccrship to the slaughter block, and
for tho purpose he was made ono of Il
drove Of ten head Of steers. This time
the alley, adjoining Mr.. Bankers slaugh-
ter pen. was reached. when the steer
again broke away, this time bringing up
in Mr.. Jacob Wch's cOrnfcld, near
tho extension of Nevin street, beyond
Chestnut, after making course through
his tobacco field. Here no ono could
get near him, and he was only
brought to ground by two shots from the
rifle Of Mr.. Martin Seiplc. Afterwards it.
required pair Of Mr.. Weh's horses and
4 sled to convey the carcass to Mr.. Bankers
slaughter house, where it tipped the beam
at almost 1, 400 pounds. Though tho ami
NAL was rampant for a short time in Mr..
Weh's crops, not much damage was done
to either his corn or tobacco.
