MILLIONS FOB PLUMBER.
lFrom tlle New York Sim 4

Tho editor Of the Philadelphia
Times. who has been looking over tile
field in Washington, has made up his
mind 10 two things. First, the re-
publican party is about to plunge
afresh into u carnival OF plumber aud
corruption; anu secondly, that before
the close OF tho present adinimistra.
ton the party will be completely
rent asunder by the conflict which no
predicts between Blaine and Arthur.
Col. McClare's account of The feel.
lngs and purposes OF the Blaine fac.
properly belong to tile other parts OF
his statement. There he may speak
by the book. 1t is possible that his
relations with that wing Of the purity,
or rather with its leaders, have enabled
him to gather information not open
to the rest of mankind aud his proc
iamstion of war on the part Of Mr..
Blaine. and shat war 20 the kuife, is
worthy uf attention. He does not
mincc matters in the least. He au.
nounces boldly that Blaiue 10 eager
for the fray that he has diligently
sought occasion tor it, aud that the
plans 10 "wreck" Arthur and his adj
minis'ration are cut and dried.
This is certai0ly rather interesting
inform .tion. The president himseif
has improved everv proper occasion
to say that he desires most earnestlv
10 maintaim the harmony OF his party,
and that he will avoid all strife aud
division which might be fatal to it by
every, means in his power ; but Col.
Mcclure assures US that Mr.. Blaine
and his friends have taken position,
once for all. aud have considered s.no
lines Of relrcaL." -
But il, as Col. Mcclure declares,
the republicans III congress have re-
fused to abolish the most obnoxious
aud oppressive internal taxes, with
the deliberate intention OF sQuauder.
ing the vast surplus thus insured to
the treasury on the jobs presented by
the various lo5bies, which the scent
OF public plunder la, already attract.
Ell to Washington, it will not require
fight between Blaiue aud Arthur to
ruin the republican party. Cougle ess
will do the work effectually.

FOOLISH DIRECTORS.
[From the La Plata H me Press.

We are not ready to gauge mans
democracy by ifis opinion upon the
question of the governor calling an
extra session OF the legislature, to re-
district the state. The question once
raised, and opinien called for, it is a
subject upon which democrats NAV
honestly differ, without raisimg the
question ns to the quality or Kind OF
their democracy. In our opinion it is
II question that needed no discussion.
For the reason, 1t, the state must be
re-districtcd 10 cOutOrm 10 the new
census. and it must be done before
the next presidential election; 2d, it
should be done before tho next con.
gressional election, OIL account Of the
inequality in population of the sever.
al districts as at present constituted.
The senators represent territory;
congressman represent people. This
much for the public good. We hold
that what will be best for the demo.
cratic party will be best for the
country. But for the fact that five
men are now iu congress from this
state who should not be there, Mr..
Reagan's interstate comucrce bill
would not die the death in The com.
mittee room.

rlous fact that there is almost an army

been augmented, to provide places for
