The penny-a-liners at Washington hay
ing started a rumor that the stalwart
leaders Of Pennsylvania had held caucus
in Washington and determined to make
Gen Beaver candidate for Governor next
fall, the Philadelphia Press remarks:
Gen. James A. Beaver is u gallant sol
dier, a sturdy Republican, and stainless
citizen. For some time past his name
has been prominently associated III the
public mind with the ueXt nomination 1Or
Governor, and he possesses many strong
attributes as a popular standard bearer
If he were to enter the canvas on his own
merits, he would certainly be fOrmida-
bic candidates. and it might easily be that
with IL fair and just spirit, he could readi-
ly unite all elements Of the party both in
the nomination and in the campaign.
The one thing that would be disastrous
to the movement in his behalf would be
the popular belief that the bosses had un-
dertaken to make him the candidate with
out regard to public sentiment, and had
ssset up" his nomination by machine
methods. Such an impression would be
well-nigh fatal. And with this wide
spread hostility to autocratlc rule, the
story published the other day tlat the
machine managers had held little caI-
Gus Of their own and assumed to dcterm-
inc that he should be Governor has stir
red deep public feeling. The people are
in no mood for such uSuapatlOnS OF their
own prerogative. They accept leaders,
but not diclators they want OrSaniza-
ton, but not serviiity. Especially when
it comes to the head OF the Common
wealth, they want a Governor Of the pco-
pie and for tho peopld, and not Cover
nor by the bosses and for the bosses.
Such story was calculated to prejudice
and inure General Beaver.
We are at Il loss to see why Gen. Bea-
vers :" strong attributes should be dis
regarded simply because certain men ia
vor his nomination, and without whose
aid his election would be uncertain to say
the least. 1t will be observed the Press
says Gen. Beavers name 1" has been
prominently associated in the public
mind" III connection with the Gubernato-
rial nomination, for some time prior to
the reported stalWart caucus. 1t would
seem to us that if Mr. Cameron and his CO.
leaders have declared for Beaver under
such circumstances, that the fact Is q
gratifying evidence that they submit to
the public will in the matter and have nc
policy of their own in opposition to pop
uar sentiment. We have no particular
love for Mr.. Cameron, but it is simple
Justice to him that he be allowed to eX-
press his preferences for candidates, es-
pecially when it is known that he will be
called upon to take an active part in the
election Of the ticket whoever may be the
standard bearer
The suggestion Of the names of Beaver
and Grow should meet the appreciation OF
the best element of.the republican party.

THE NEXT NEW STATE.

We print to-day map OF the present Teri
tory of Dakota, will lines partitloning 1T into
three suggested political diyisOns-a State OF
Dakota, occupying the southeast portion of the
Territory, Territory of Pembina, lying north
of the forty sixth parallel of latitude, and
Territory of Lincoln, occupying the region south
of that parallel and west of the Missouri River,
and of n line drawn south from the confluence
of the Cheyenne with. that stream to the
Nebraska frontier. A future subdivision of the
northern section into two Territories by the line
of the Missouri River and the 1O1st meridian,
NAV be expected at no distant day, but need not
at this time enter Into the question OF practical
legislation When it takes place it is probable
that the western division will have added to it
considerable portion of Eastern Montana.
The southwestern subdivision of Dakota, to
which it is proposed to give the name OF LIN
coin, might wisely be increased in size by the
annexation of contiguous parts of Wyoming
and Montana lying within the Black Hills
region.
The propriety of dividing the Territory of
Dakota is apparent from the fact that its area is
four fines ms great as that of the State OF Ohio.
Much of its surface consists OF excellent farming
land. Its climate is similar to that of the neigh
boring States OIL iowa anu HliHhOooed'
grafton has gone in in three lines--a heavy cur
rent by way of the railroads fIem Iowa that
reach the southwestern section, of which Yank
Ton is the chief business centre; another heavy
current by way of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road, occupying the country between Fargo and
Bismarck, and sending ont detachment from
the Valley of the Red River as far as the Canada
line; and small stream divorging from the
Union Pacific Railroad to the mining district OF
the Black Hills. Each OF these regions OF settle
ment is distinct and separated from the others
by a wide uninhabiteG belt, destitute of means
of communication. The people of the northern
portion Of the Territory have to make long
detour through Minnesota and Iowa to reach
the capital at Yankton, and the Black Hills
people must 60 around through Nebraska when
they journey to the same point.
The population Of Dakota, according to the
last census, was 134,502, but the census was
taken in June, just at the beginning of the sum-
mer immigration. BY this time there are no
doubt fully 10000 people within the Terri

January Is, against 100000 bushels last

eastern receipts are unusually light as yet.
Though the bank return of Saturday was
not considered favorable, there Is nothing in
it to disturb the money market, except tue
evidence that speculation is disposed to ao-
sorb all surplus funds as fast as they arrive
here. Money was in cool supply at rates
within the legal limit on securities OF satls'

increase of $1,O21.600 in specie, and
S7O96O0 in currency. but the whole was alb
sorbed by an increase of 81, 800 in loans,
of which the enormous dealings IN stocks
afford a sufficient explanation. A feature
still less encouraging is. that the
movement of specie hther from the interior
appears to have ceased already. The Treas

ports had not il ell effect upon the

in specie are known to be on the way, but
the adv nee in rate by the Bank of England
is felt in an increase OF G152,OOO in the
specie reserve OF that bank last week, so that
the reserve is now litrc larger than 1t was
December 30. The Bank OF Germany also
gained little IN specie. but must be con-
stantly losing in gold, even while occasionally
gaining more N silver, ii the Vienna CORE

TILE TIDH1 DISASTER.

The shocking disaster at Tiogl station by
which five men, four of them Post Office en-
ployes, lost their lives and fifteen persons
received injuries more or less severe, has
moral-indeed several morals-not perhaps APP
parent on the face of the details. The acct
dent itself is beyond the reach of ordinary
fault finding. The sudden breaking of an
axle is mishap which the most careful
supervis on cannot always prevent. All the
men seemed to have behaved with admirable
GOODNESS and fidelity, the engineer putting Oh
the air-brake the instant he felt the shock,
and all the employees from the conductor down
doing all that they could do in the premises.
One of the morals to be drawn from the
story of the disaster is that the railroad COM
panies are not taking that care of the lives OF
clerks in the postal cars to which they are
entitled as human beings with lives TO lose'
and with families whose daily bread depends
upon the preservation Of those lives. Ac-
citlents similar to this have occurred before,
and the POstm aster-G eneral thereupon adj
dressed remonstrances 10 the railroads against
the use of stoves in the postal cars, and espe-
cally requested the use of safety heaters, spec
ially designed with aview to such accidents. That
request was not needed, at least in this instance
When the train was flung off the track, the
mail-car took fire, and the four clerks were
burned to death or burned after death. 1t
seems to be the railroad theory-and it is
merciful one-that the men were killed by the
first shock, but ID is the belief of the Govern
ment officials that they would have escaped If
the Postmaster Generals recommendations
had been followed. Probably no one will
ever know which theory is correct But 1t
ought not to need any better argument than the
prompting of ordinary humanity to insure the
immediate adoption of the POstmastor-Gcn-
erals suggestion everywhere. This is the
third slaughter of the kind within n few
months. There ought never to be another.
Mr.. Thompson, the chief of the Railway
Service directs attention to another hardship
in the Postal Service There is no provision
for clerks and other officials who are injured
in the discharge of their duty, and the De-
partment has no discretion but to discharge
them There is no provision for the families
of those who are killed. Congress ought
to consider the prOprlety of making
it in both cases. The faithful postal clerk who
is killed Qp the rail seems qnite as deserving
of a pension as the soldier who gets bullet
through his heart on the plains. The Govern
ment puts the lives of both in continuous
danger, and the obligation which is recOg-
nlzqd In the one instance ought not TO be neg
lected in the other

COuuERCIAL ACTIVITIES.

Last week the exchanges ut New York were
again the largest ever recorded. In three
successive weeks, the aggregate of exchanges
has exceeded that of any preceding week since
the Clearing House was established. In 1878
fine average daily was less than $50, 900, 900
for a large part of the year; it is now over
$500, 100000. An unusually large proportion
OF the exchanges, however, originates in the
gigantic speculation IN stocks, which has been
30 vast that the recorded sales since January
1 already exceed 100000 shares. The ex-
changes arising from other transactions were
last week about 1852, 100000, however.
against about $642. 5000 for the previous
week. The movement at other cities is also very
large. The increase for tie first half OF Janu-
airy, compared with 1880, was $50, 900, 900 ut
Chicago, or over 60 per cent; $4,000, 900
at Boston, or II per cent; $17,000,000 at
Philadelphia, or IL per cent; $l0,000,000
at Cincinnati or 35 per cent. Returns of
railroad earnings and of trade movements tell
n similar story. Out oil thirty seven roads of
which the earnings are reported for one or two
