Tie Allegheny county Democracy are
fighting over bone that hasn't Il shred
of meat on it. They have one fairly set
tied and undisputed candidate for county
commissiOncr-wliich is all they can pos,
slbly elect. They IRE now having dirty,
diSgracciui and disastrous fight over a
second nominee who cannot possibly he
elected unless he cuts, trades off or sells
Oat some other part of the ticket. 1t is
bad enough for q minority to quarrel
over something substantial, but Il squab-
ble like this over Il shadow is little too
ridiculous for any sort cf use. Stop it
by limiting the ticket to one nominee for
county commissioner, rs sensible Demo
Gratis do where they are in minority.

WE arc glad to see that no decent Jour

chief executive for = few months, The

TnEEi. is nothing which succeeds like
success. On the same page, by the same

lately pictured Arthur as a bootblack, he

THE Methodists regard Bishop Simpson
Us the abiest pulpit exponent Of their faith,
and right iitly he was chosen to open the
atcumcnica! council Of this great dc,.omi-
natinn, in London. How well he dis
charge! that duty may be inferred from
the extract from his sermon which We
print to-day. There is much in it to arouse
Methodist; to enthusiasm and Il great deal
for everybody 70 ponder well.
IT is well that it is a Republican critic
who passes the sc"cre Judgment upon
White House society aud manners that we
reIlb!ish from an esteemed contenpor-
ary's capital correspondence. 1t seems that
neither the social regime Of the Lincolns.
Grants, Haycses or Gariields has met the
demands of Washington society. Widowcr
Arthur, spick and span from the
metropolitan fashions, is expected to do
better.

IN a direct, strai.; i.;htforward way and lis
members addressed the Demo cratic c,ndi,
date rs men who appreciated the sign-
ticance "f tic conventions work and the
weight Of their duty. Mr.. Noble rises to
the full requirements of the occasion in
his answer, and writes manly letter in
good form and sentiment. He boldly

recommend his candidacy to the favorable
consideration of all independent mcn. His

TIE question with which the gigantic |
inte!lects Of tho members of the Easton |
school board arc now graphing is Us to
whether they ought to pay one OF tl,ei:

Lofty spirit that animatcs them to this

pEerLE who opposed the ncw rules pro-
posed for the Democratic party in this
state will, Of course, observe that ut tho
irst meeting Of the new state committee
some controversy was reported over the
election Of the member from one district,
Inc like of which is very apt to arise from

nittec members also, that with all the
