TRUE AS notwithstanding of the
alleged extravagant expenditure Of
the public money, now handle to
the bombshell reform boom, the Cum
berland Times says of the value of
advertising space in that connection:
1t is argued by friends of Gov. Hamilton
that u higher rice is paid for poor re-
turn, and that not three hundred on an
average in each county read them. We
dispute the truth of this assertion. There
is not publisher in the State who does
not insert the laws Mt a less price per
square than he does pnblic sales and other
adveI tisements. The fact that it costs
him but little to sci up the type holds
good also in all other advertisements; but
the public should remember that for every
half column of advertisements that is set
in type there are six columns of reading
matter for which the printer gets no pay,
and which MIST be given to the public 10
secure circulation for his paper If the
subscription list pays for white paper and
those who never pay, then the publisher is
doing well Admit, for argument, that
there are not over three hundred persons
in each county who read these laws-tlat
is enough for all practical purposes. The
people who read them are communicative
and they keep their neighbors posted
which is more than the lawyers do, with.

Leaving the Times and the Govern
or to quarrel over the issue stated, we
propose giving briefly another turn
to the matter.
We know people who grope along
through life under the hallucinatioa
that it is bigger thing to owa and
run country newspaper than a coal
mine.
We know others who, adopting and
exaggerating this notion, think the
paper ought not to be paid for.
These include laboring men-thoso
for whose interests and rights the
JOURNAL has successfully contended
these for whose wages and s. fety it
has pleaded and scolded.

But Gov. IIamiltoa ewes much Of
his prominence and prestige to the
newspapers.
He has adopted style of recipro-
city which the newsl apers are re-
sonting quite heartily.
There are several little governors
in this section to whom only the
moral here conveyed will be percep-
tible.

No SENSIBLE man will believe for mo-
ment the miners would have got the rates
which have very generally prevailed since
last October had there not been so much
organized purpose to protect themselves
exhibited in the past twelve months
Labor Tribune.
"Organizsd purpose" is not all.
The influence of fair press has very
much to do these latter days with
keeping the popular mind correctly
informed as to the rights and wrongs
Of labor.
Organized purpose" singly and
alone, might emancipate the railroad
serfs at Altoona and the enslaved
miners of Clearfeld, but we doubt it.
1t should be the self-appointed of
fee of the Labor Tribune, as it is the
self-styled acknowledged head Of the
labor press" to expose mercilessly the
terrific system which imposes bondage
upon a large body of Pennsylvania
citizens. Only such disclosures in
frequent cases make organized pur-
pose" possible.
The press is er.cficio, not simply an
exponent, but the iorerunner of "or-
ganized purpose.

A STRONG VIEW OF THE MATTER.
"A Baltimore Gazette correspondent
has elected some strong views of ma.
tional topics from Hon. Thomas F..
Bayard, of Delaware. Speaking CT
the aggregation of capital he says:
That man must be blind who does not
see, and obtusc who does not feel, grave
apprehensions for the safety and welfare
of the masses-the great body of the
working peoplc--underour institutions of
government arising out of these consoli-
dations OF capital which overshadow per-
sonal independence and individual liberty,
and render the competition by individuals
almost hopeless in those fields OF enterprise
in which corporate power has already OBJ
tuned virtual monopoly, by crushing its
unassociated rivals. l see in this growth
of wealth and its consolidation great dan
ger to our institutions of government,
which were intended to secure personal
liberty and independence by distributing
power, and create a democratic and not
pIutocratic republic. The abolition OF the

ALL the Bituminous operators re-
port business as being active, and they
are placing coal but they grumble at
the prices that are being realized.
We have often referred to this phase
of the trade; the coal is plenty and
must be removed; no one likes to have
a customer taken away. and so cut
rates are the rule instead of the ex-
ception. Here we have Georges Greek,
Clearfeld, Broad Top, Salisbury,
Allegany, ETC., competing for the same
trade, and it is no wonder that prices
are what they are. 1t is good for the
consumers but we hardly see where

person orders his paper discontinued,
he must pay all arrearages, or the pub
lisher may continue to send it until pay

from the post Office or not. Also, act
ion for fraud can be instituted against
any person who regularly lifts news

to be prira facie evidence of fraud.

Speak out Men of Science.

The thunder showers, which have fallen
in this village during the last few days,
have contained very nearly as many lite
frogs as drops of water. Everywhere you
go. about the streets and yards, you can
see the little fellows hopping about in in
finite numbers, looking as lively as you
please. We have frequently observed this
phenomenon before, and recollect to have
read, in an old miscellaneous book some
years ago, an attempt at scientific e1-
PLANTATION of it. This was, as we recollect
it, to the effect that their little frog
ships are taken up from some pond, where
they are generated, by a strong whiilwind.
and in that way transferred to consid-
cradle distance before they descend to the
earth, We hope some of our scientific
readers will give us, and the rest ef our
uuscientifc readers some information in
respect to this interesting phenomenon.

The French oder for Tobacco.

Many of our farmers will be interes ed
to learn that the French contract for Mary
land and Ohio tobacco, was awarded in
in Paris on Wednesday last. The contract
was given to NJ. Campo, whose New York
correspondents are Rayne Bros, of whom
Messrs. J. D. Kremelberg s. Co. arc the
Baltimore agents. General satisfaction
will be felt, we are certain, at the result
of the award. The contract calls for
100000 Kilograms, equal to about 1900
hogsheads, of Ohio tobacco, and fol
100000 kilorams, or about 5000 hogs,
heads. of Maryland tobacco, an unusually
large order for Baltimore. 1t is stated
that the order for Maryland tobacco will
necessirate the purchase of between 10000
and II 900 hogsheads, as some will GER
tainly be rejected.

The Weather and tn e Crops.

Wise Harry G. Veunor has quite re-
deemed his somewhat impaired reputa-
ton for weather wisdom. His "wst June"
has thus far been an indisputable reality,
and the report reaches US that destruc-
tive frost in sections of New York and
Canada, on the night of the 5th inst. did
in fact occur as forecast by the prophet
A Philadelphia journal, since the last
verifcation, has suggested that Vennor be
henceforth sty led memorable certainties
We think that all will concede that he
should be honored with some high sound
ing name Our farmers have taken ad-
vantage of the planting season" produc-
ed by the copious raiss of the past week,
and very large number of tobacco plants
have been set. Probably half of the entire
crop has been already transplanted,
the plants being unusually abundant
We learn however, that the cut warm has
in many cases proved exceedingly de-
s'ructive to tie young plants just trans
planted. So great have been the ravages
of this pest upon some farmers, that the
farmers have deemed it proper tn suspend
planting Jill the warm weather shall have
diminished the worms. Wheat has, thus
far, been benefited rather than I'M ured by
the rains. 1t was feared that the dry
weather unit recently prevailing, would
check the development of the grain, but
the opportune rain has dispelled all fears
in that regard, and the prospect is excel
lent for full harvest. 1t is feared how
ever, that an excess of wet weather at this
time, accompanied by warmth, will pro-
duce rust, which, even at this state of adj
vancement, would prove destructive. But
there is no manifestation of it thus far.
