will again assume some new name and
again appeal to the support Of the people
under the influence of some sentiment
that may spring up, ana which, for the
time being, may have greater influence
than the silent power of reason, and then
will again attain power only to be again
disintegrated as soon as reason assumes
the universal sway over the minds of the
people. There is an irrepressible con-
fict between the principles of Federal
ism and Democracy that must continue
as long as our form of government lasts.
These are the only parties that can d.
vide the political opinions of the people
Federalism springing out of the feder
ative form of our national government,
arrogating to itself unlimited powers of
legislation, in imitation of monarchy ::
and Democracy, springing out of the
powers of government as limited by the
express grant in the constitution of the
United States and reserved to the several
states forming the Union, and to the
people thereof, all powers of social regu-
lation and of self-government not ex-
pressly granted when the bond of a ma
tiOnal union between the states was

death by drowning of F. F. Pond" Will

by James Barker, general passenger agent
of the Wisconsin central road. who was an
intimate friend of Mr.. Pond. The tele.
gram was sent by John Dubois, a we'll
known guide. The place where the acci-
dent occurred is in the northern part Of
the state in a wild, unfrequented region:
&c! wish to let you know that F. F.

ably drowned. He was one of the editors
of tie 1Irt, Field and Farm, of New York
city. When came back to camp after
shooting a few birds, found that he had
taken the boat and fishing tackle. After
q while went below the rapids near camp
and found that tho boat was turned bot
tom side up where it had hoated to the
bank. The river is high and have not
found the body yet, but thiuk Mr.. Pond

A STRANGE STORY.

Romantic Events Occurring Not Far Oh.
Progress.
More than forty years ago, in village
near Philadelphia, all arrangements had
been made for a wedding on grand
scale. The guests were invited, the en-.
tertainment prepared, and the bride-is
young girl of wealth and beauty-awaited
the coming of her bridegroom but he
never came, and all these years his where
abouts have remained mystery.
The girl, crazed by grief aud NOR.
tificatiOD, became harmless but in
durable lunatic time, however, has soft
ened the malady into a deep melancholy,
and although friends and relatives have
passed away, one by one. tho poor crea-
hair and wrinkled skin, wanders alone
arrayed IN her bridal finery, buoyed
up with the hope that her lover
will one day return. The story
is strange enough to SAVIOR Of fic-
tiOn, but an incident connected with it
which happened short time ago is sug-
gestive of stern reality. A party OF rob-
bers, who had been breaking into houses
in the neighbOrhOod, made their way one
night into the home of the poor crazy
woman. Her quick ears detected the steps,
and stepping on to the platform Of the
first flight of stairs she greeted the thieves
with the words: 81 have been waiting all
these years, am ready, come on" The
men gave one glance at the figure in its
faded satin robes, standing there with
jewclled arms Outstretched, and fled
shrieking from the house.

What Copper Thinks Of 1t.


"This is a dog in. the-manger reply.
These men know that they cannot be
nominated and they seek to endeavor to
drag everyone else down with them.
Speaking for myself, l regard the condi-
tions which accompany this answer as ut
terIy inadmissible and dishOnorable, since
no set of men, nor any committee, nor
convention, has the right to deprive
any man who is constitutionally eli
gible from being q candidate for
Office, nor has any such body the right to
say whom tho people shall or shall not
vote for. I believe that this hasty and
ill-tempered rejection of the propositions,
which their organs induced us to believe
was all that was required to restore har-
mony in the party, will transfer before
election day nine tenths of tho Independ-
ent voters to the Regular Republican
ticket, and that it will practically unite
the party in support Of General Beaver
and his colleagues"
General James &. Negley is opposed to
any withdrawal of the candidates, and his
influence, combined with that of Mr..
Cooper, who is chairman of the body, it is
expected will result in an equivocal rejec.
tion Of the plan presented by the Inde-
pendep!s

Demolltion Of Old and Erection OF New
Buildings.
The two old buildings, Nos. and 5
East King street, known as the Metzger
and Keffer buildings, now owned by d.
p. Locher s. Son and lately occupied re-
spectively by NJ. Levy as a shoe store and
Edw. Kreckel az a saddle and harness
store and mandatory, are being
torn down to make room for a.
large four story structure of modern
design. The first floor will be divided into
two handsome storo rooms from 40 to so
feet in depth. Mr.. Levy will occupy one
of these as boot and shoe store, and Mr.
Kreckel will occupy the other as har-
ness, saddle and trunk store, and will also
occupy the upper stories rs u manufactOry-
Mr.. ]. A. Burger made the plans and has
charge of the erection of the new building
and promises to have it ready for its occu-
pants within sixty days. The stores will
have plate glass fronts, aud the front ele-
walton will bs of pressed brick of neat de-
sign and substantial construction. The
object sought will he convenience and du
rability rather than high art.
During the time necessary for the COM
pletion of the new building Mr.. Levy will
occupy the storeroom No. IS, in Locher' q
buildin, :. and Mr.. Krcckel will occupy Il o
second story of the same building.

THE PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRACY.
A Long Range Wow Of Their Ticket.

A Long Range Wow Of Their TicEes.
Louisville (Ky.) Times.
Il is agreed on all hands that the recent
Pennsylvania Democratic state convention
was D strong one in its composition and
spirit. The result Of its labOrs are con-
sidered very fortunate. The ticket put
in nomination commands the respect of
friend and foe. 1t has already had the
wholesome effect of uniting and enthusing
every element of the party in that state.
The results of the convention were
reached without any undue advantage be-
ing taken of any one, SO that tho friends
of, as we'll as the defeated candidates
themselves, could and did ut once give a
cheerful and hearty cooperation in the
business OF electing the ticket put before
the voters.
The character Of the nominees for gov
ernor and lieutenant governor is such that
the Half breeds, who are in opposition to
the Cameron ticket, feel no hesitation IN
maintaining their revolt against boss rule,
even if it should be the occasion of .
Democratic triumph. The nomination
of Mr.. Pattison for governor is triumph
for the reformers, or {" Young Democracy
element of Philadelphia. He was elected
comptroller in Philadelphia by IA, 900 ma
jority at the same. election that gave
Garfield 81, 900, Pattison receiving 1000
moro votes than we're cast for General
Hancock.
The nomination of Chauncey F. Black
is distinct and emphatic recognition Oi
the Jeffersonian school of Democrats
MIR. Black in connection with the Jeffer'
sonian club at York, has become known
to the Democracy generally as rep
reseutatives of the traditions and first
principles in the politics of these states.
He is man of ability, character and faith
1t is q great thing to have for leader one
who not only understands thoroughly the
best ideas of our creed, but one who also
believes in them with all his heart. These
are times in which the faint hearted and
the doubling can not successfully lead the
masses.

.C0ndensed From the Rscord.''
The telegraph company is now engaged
in distributing poles between Lititz and
Brickerville for the new limo to be estab-
lished between Lancaster, Liti'z, Bricker-
vile, Manheim, Ephrata and other places.
The line will be ready for use in course of
month.
There was much wailiug and gnashing
of teeth" in this vicinity on Tuesday
morning, aud particularly at Warwick,
when representative of the the mercan
tile tax collectors made his appearance
and notified a number Of persons that suit
had been entered against them for nom
payment Of said tax. The majority of
them are horse dealers and drovers and
there are upwards Of twenty-five of them.
Some of them positively decline to pay it,
their plea being that a number refused to
pay last year, and although suit was
brought, they were allowed tn slip clear
without ever paying cent.

Not tho Right Spirit.

New Era.
Tho bOasting of certain Stalwarts that
the state committee has put the Independ-
ent Republicans "in hole" is in very bad
taste, and is not calculated to impress the
public with the sincerity of their profess
sions of party unity. David Taggert, the
presiding officer of Cameron's warmed over
convention, was especially we'll salts
fed with the strategy of himself and his
fellow committeeman. 1t has put those
Independents in hole" he enthusiastic
cally exclaimed "they wont accept any
thing we've offered never expected them
to. They are q lot of political sbysters
anyhow" Now, the inference from such
utterances is that OK Chairman Taggart is
very far from sincere in his desire for bar-
mony. His Chief desire seems to havo
been to put the Independents in hole, :"
not tho unity of the party on q basis Of
mutual concession and political good
faith.

PAY YOUR TOLL.


ItCosss too Much to Run the Gate.
James Gearing was arraigned before
Alderman Samson last evening for driving
through the first gate on the Lancaster
and Mannheim turnpike and refusing to
pay toll. James WAS sentenced to pay q
fine of o. and the costs Of suit amounting
to A-in all 81. Had he paid his toll be
would have got off for two cents. The
gate-keeper states THAT nineteen other
teams drove through the gate dur
ing June without raging toll, some
of the drivers using very insulting
language and that Gearing was
the only one Iecogniz.,d and punished.
But the company is nevertheless consider
ably ahead 0f the game. The toll for
nineteen teams would have been Only 80
cents. One-half Of Gcaring's fine of a3-
that is sl.5O- goes to tho company.
Deducting from this tho 80 cents lost on
tho other On-payers. the company in still
41.31 ahead while the Manor school
board gets the other half of the fine, 81 80,
and the officers and alderman make "a.
clear. II will be found good deal cheaper
for travellers to pay the toll than to run
the blockade.

The Movements In the Game.

Itwas quite clever device in the In
dependent Republican candidates, to
avoid the Stalwart embrace which was
SO warmly offered to them, to offer to
withdraw if the regulars would unite
with them in promising not to be again
candidates. There is no doubt that the
independents do not want a reunion.
They can accomplish their object of
breaking Cameron more readily in the
general election than at Republican
primary. They greatly doubt their abil-
ity to defeat their opponents at trial
within the party. Mr.. Wolfe says:
"Giye us the machinery, the re-
sources, the money, the educated
and trained politicians of the reg
ulars and we would accept them
as quick as that )" swapping his finger,
and meaning the regulars propositions.
There is no doubt of that. 1t is their
timidity which makes the Independents
recOil from The manifestly fair PROPOSE.
tions made to them. They are too far
to reject directly they hope that they
have found device which will save
them in rejecting the propositions indi-
rectly. They have done the best they
could. They, too, have made fair pro
position. They excel their antagonists
in their self-sacrifice. They offer not
only to withdraw but to withdraw for
good. Their hope is that Cameron is
so fixed upon Beaver for governor, that
he cannot persuade himself to surren-
der him, however much he desires
a union of the party. Perhaps
they reckon well. Perhaps not.
No doubt Cameron is very 10th to give up
Beaver, who has been considered his sole
stake in the struggle. But yet his neces
stiles are great. Arthur requires him to
keep the party united and the gover-
norship is not the only place into which
to put Beaver. He may withdraw him
from that contest and put him in 4 still
more glittering place, to show his power
and exhibit the presidential favor. 1t is
quite possible for Beaver to be with
drawn, even under compulsion, without
hurting either him or Cameron !;
but benefitting them, by giving
him u good place and Cameron good
repute for saving bis party. Another
instrument will be as good as Beaver in
the governorship and Don may find a
fresh one who will be stronger than the
old and battered tool. 1t was not bad
movement in the independents, but not
checkmate by any means it may be
quite the reverse.

5000 Franks foreigners of distinction
then sojourning in that land. It was a
magnificent affair, illustrating the lavish
extravaganza which has precipitated bank
ruptcy aud war upon the country. The
entertainment was sumptuous mt every
particular, and cost the khedive $500, 600,
the viands and rich wines having been
brought from France in vessel dispatched
for tn: purpose. Already they were being
heard murmurs of discomfort at the
royal extravaganza and arbitrary rule
which burdened the people to support the
luxurious tastes of the rulers.
