NOTWITHSTANDING all the talk about
the wrongs of Ireland and the distress of
her people, they do not seem to be as
badly off as the Germans, of whose hard
ships we seldom hear, but whom we see
pouring into our country, without well
understanding why they leave the happy
and prosperous land we suppose they
leave behind them. To avoid the con.
scription is supposed to be one great
cause of German emigration, but it won't
explain the coming of whole families,
nor does it show why the French, who
are equally liable to military service, do
not equally flee their country to avoid
it. The statistics printed elsewhere tell
of a great German outflow and its causes.
Over two hundred thousand Ger
mans came to these shores. within the
last year, and but seventy-two thousand
Irish. The FEench immigration was in
considerable. The Germans came to
better their condition. Labor is cheap,
work is scarce and profits are small.
Capital earns small recompense, and
therefore, can pay but low wages. Busi-
ness is lacking, money and workmen are
abundant, and these two things, which
we are accustomed here to think are the
only essentials needed to establish pros
porous business, do not effect it. Why, we
do not understand but evidently Ger
many needs more enlightened govern

The Cincinnati Gazette, the leading Re-
publican journal of Ohio, says: "The
proper way would be for the cabinet to
notify the vice president that tho presi-
dent is unable to discharge the powers
and duties of the Office. And the proper
way for Mr.. Arthur would be to separate
himself from all the disaffected crew :;
from all who have declared war on the
president from all Republican 'cranks,'
and to 20 to the executive Office and dis
charge its powers and duties as the presi-
dents assistant and substitute, carrying
forward his intentions as we'll as he knows
Then the perfect constitution would have
its perfect working, and it would be seen
that it has made wise provision for this
emergency. Discussion of this question
cannot ignore the notorious fact that Mr..
Arthur has put himself into very embar-
RAISING position in respect to acting as
president by his conspicuous adhesion to a
politician who set out to make a scene
and sensation by 4 declaration of war on
the president. He has given the country
reason to look upon him as ready to as
sumo the executive Office in spirit Of hos
tility to the president and his friends. He
cannot complain that the people think this
and therefore distrust him. The position
is partly his misfortune, and partly his
fault, and it is his duty to divest himself
of it by cutting loose from those who de-
sire his assumption Of the olllce as an act
OF hostility, and BY making friendly ad-

Tied.

We are very sorry to find that our
friend, Colonel Duffy, is obliged to con-
fine himself so closely to his home. The
river atmosphere is not very wholesome
this season, and prudent people would
abandon it for the seashore or the noun
tains. To be sure there is great delight
to the colonel in looking over his waving
fields of broad-leayed tobacco, which now
are getting ready for the reaper and
thirty, ten and five per pound. But still
the seductive tobacco should not keep
the colonel at home, il he is the Lancas-
ter county king of the growers. For the
colonel has duties. TO say nothing Of
those he owes to himself, his family and
his health, he must remember that he is
an officer of the state. He is Fish Com
missioner and the fish-basket criminals
are about. That was the way we found
out the colonel wasn't. We passed down
the river on the railroad the other day
and from the car windows gazed upon
many fish baskets seductively fixed for
the fish and put right under the honor
able nose of the Honorable Fish Commits
sioaer, if he should stir abroad for a rail-
road ride along his preserve on
his free pass. The fishermen knew
he was tied at home, of course,
or they would not have ventured.
What ties him we don't know, if it ism t
the tobacco. We hope it is not the gout.
But he is tied very fast, anyway. He
must be. Just think of his anger when
he reads what we now tell him of these
rascally fishermen. We hope his family
will take care that he does not get the
news too suddenly. Break it to him
gently ,and meanwhile the fishermen had
better hurry out those baskets for the
Honorable Fish Commissioner will surely
be after them before another sun sets.

ORGANIZE THE PARTY.
A LOng-Nechcd Movement.

"A lLOHS-SecsscU N1Ovemcnt.
Doylestown Democrat.
The most timely suggestion made at the
late meeting of the state committee was
that by Mr.. Hensel, of the Lancaster In
TELLIGENCER, that the party should be
properly organized without delay. The
Democrat says organize, aud begin the
good work at once. There should be no
delay. Organization and discipline are
just as necessary to great political party
as an army. Without it neither can
achieve success. Without it, an army
Of the best and bravest men
with it, inferior men often win great vic
tories. There should not only be a state
organization. but county organizations,
subordinate thereto. The chairman of the
state committee, as well as secretary or
two, should be salaried officers, whose
time should be devoted to the service of the
party. Paid service is always the best.
Tho records of the state organization
should be carefully kept, and handed down
from committee to committee, which would
enable the leaders to know, at all times,
the condition of the party, as the comman-
der knows the condition of his army. Let
us organize!
A Permanent Committed
Erie Herald.
Let the party have permanent central
state committee of loyal working Demo-
Gratis. The Republican party has a COM
mittee of one, or two, dozen, rs the case
may be, in nearly all the public Offices of
the commonwealth and Union, and as a
result that party is always perfectly Or
ganized. We agree with the Harrisburg
Patriot that the objection that the
maintenance of a permanent state COM
mittee would cost too much is not we'll
founded. "The money misspent in the
ordinary Chinese gong campaigns" says
the Patriot, twill suffice to carry on all
practical and sensible operationsOf state
organization in permanent activity" So
we believe, and we would commend to the
gentlemen selected by Mr.. Dill to prepare
a series of rules, the advisability of per-
feet and thorough permanent organization
of the party. The sinews of war will be
forthcoming.
We are Mark TapIeys.
Philadelphia Times.
The Democratic organs of Pennsylvania
are wonderfully delighted with the notion
of giving the party in this state a perma-
nent organization. It seems to be a pretty
good idea from the party standpoint.
Ordinarily the Pennsylvania Democrat
stands around wondering what is going to
be done next. A few weeks before the
election the chairman of the state commit
tee opens headquarters and the voters of
the party are led up to the polls and
knocked down and dragged out. The
Democratic party has then kept very quiet
until it was time to walk up and get
knocked down again. Perhaps perma-
nent organization may somewhat alleviate
the sufferings of the party in this respect.
The Lancaster INTELLIGENcER seems to
entertain the notion that the Democratic
state convention will be held at Williams
port just the same as if Cameron had not
concluded to make the state 20 Republi-
can this fall. The good thing about the
Democratic party is that it is nearly al
ways in cheerful frame of mind.

ROBBERY AT ATLANTIC CITY.
Over q Hundred Watches and Some Val
able Diamonds StOlcn.

Over Hundred Watches and Some vaIu-
able Diamonds StOlon.
Residents and visitors to Atlantic City
have noticed display of valuable watches,
diamonds and jewelry in the store of II.
Mulligan, 1912 Atlantic avenue, between
Pennsylvania and Virginia avenues. In
the large show-window attention has been
attracted by display of diamonds and
watches seldom witnessed there before. A
jewel case studded with diamonds has
borne a card stating that it was once the
property of Napoleon the Third, and rich
diamond bracelet there was claimed to
have once belonged to Adelaide Nelson.
Gold watches glittered around other valu-
able articles. and the arrangement of the
gems and jewelry in their costly settings
was such as to make the place familiar to
all passers-by. A red flag hung at the
door signified that auctions would be held
every night, tho goods disposed of at
private sale during the day, and also that
liberal advances would be made upon con-
signments. Without being exactly pawn
brokers' establishment it carried on a busi-
ness similar to that conducted in such in
stitutions.
Yesterday afternoon, between one and
two o'clock, Mr.. Mulligan, the proprietor
at the Virginia house, taking his young
clerk with him. He had not been gone
but ten or fifteen minutes when. ON his
return, he found his place had been
robbed. Over a hundred gold watches,
Mr.. Mulligan says, were taken, all the
diamonds and valuable goods in the show
cases in the window and the stock in the
show cases on the counter turned upside
down and the silk-lined cases which con-
tanned the watches and other valuables
scattered around in wild profusion. The
thief or thieves had effected an entrance
through back window. A slat had been
cut away from the blind and the window
forced. The news of the robbery created
great excitement and a crowd gathered
quickly around tho door. The police au-
thorities were promptly notified and other
means taken to prevent the robbers escap-
ing from the city. Mr.. Mulligan estimates
his loss at about 10000.

Goodbye, dear if I should die sud-

strange speech William Otto, highly re-
spectacle farmer of jackson township,
Northumberland county, left his wife
after dinner, went out to one of the fields
where his boys were working and told
them to stick to it and work hard, that he
was going over to his father-in law to get
some seed wheat, and started in that
direction. When he got to large, shady
cherry tree, between his farm and George
Snyder's. lie stopped, drew seven-shooter
from his pocket and placing it to his right
ear he pulled the trigger and sent the
leaden messenger of death through his
brain.
