ing manner. Mr. Campbell was SO sur

DELIRIUM TREMENS.

An Ephrata Man Sees Numerous Gulteaus.
Yesterday a German named Cornelius
Ruff was arrested in Ephrata by Constable
Spapgler. The man, who belongs to Hin
kletown, had been on spree for two
weeks past and was suffering from deli
rum tremens. 1t was with great difficulty
the officer succeeded in getting him to
this city. On being put into the cars he
was terribly frightened. saw snakes,
and imagined that enemies were
trying to shoot him. He crawled
under the car seats, and would have
jumped out of the car had he not been re-
strained. Al. Stevens, who was passen.
ger on the train, rendered the constable
great assistance in keeping charge of the
prisoner. On arriving in this city the man
fought like demon, and it required the
united strength of Officers Spangler and
McDevitt and Mr.. Stevens to secure him. !.
He was taken to the hospital, but as there
was no proper order for his admission, the
superintendent refused to receive him.
He was then taken to TIE lookup, where
he spent the night. This morning the
constable made complaint of disorderly
conduct against him, and Alderman Spur
rier committed him to the county Jail for
20 days. Ruff is said to be usually a
steady, Industrious man.

Another Able Argument Against Education.
Mr. John A. Hiestand's Examiner.
For some time we have been intimating
that education so-called, does not educate
i'll such a way as to give proper concep-
tions of life and its duties. As an illus
tration, not so very far fetched, We give
the following "Don't talk to me about
the advantages of education" Indignantly
exclaimed certain manufacturer lately.
"Here l spent 90, 900 on that boy of mine.
He came out of college with flying colors.
Put him in charge Of the factory while
went off on little vacation, and what
do you suppose he did? Shipped $4,000
of my now patent improved snow shovels
to South America"

POsTOFFIUE MATTERS.

Promotions. Improvements, Damaged Boxes.
Valentine Hoffman, who has been an
auxiliary letter carrier in the Lancaster
postofice for some years past, has been
promoted to the position Of regular car
rier. VIM. Uric Shubert, for some time
past the weigher of the mails, has been ap-
pointed auxiliary carrier and Henry w.
Sheriff has been appointed weigher in place
of Mr.. Shubert.
Postmaster Marshall is having all the
lamp-post letter boxes repaired and re-
painted and it is his intention to have
arrested and punished, those who may
hereafter thoug ghtlessly or Intentionally in
iure them. One cause of complaint is
that the lamp lighters, instead Of using
their ladders to reach the street lamps,
mount the letter boxes attached to the
lamp posts, thus defacing and sometimes
them.

A dispatch to friends in this city an
nounces the death at an early hour tnis
morning, at his home in York, of Colonel
George Beatty, from paralysis Of the brain,

haps, were better known throughout this

WEDNESDAY EvE'o. MARCH 40. 1881.


The more closely the scheme to admit
Dakota into the Union is inquired into,
the more apparent it becomes that it is
unwise and premature, and that it is
designed simply to increase the strength
Of the Republicans in Congress and in
the electoral college by the three votes
which this pocket state would add to
it. For the admission of the territory
no good reason has yet been shown, and
against it there are numerous and
weighty objections. Its population is
too small, not having population equal
to that necessary to secure the return OF
representative to the United States
House of Representatives from state,
requirement that should always be in
sisted upon, especially in the case of ter
ritories of such vast landed proportions
and widely scattered population. Neither
has this territory the wealth of property
and variety of interests requiring the or
ganization and protection Of state
government. The larger portion of its
people are farmers and most "of the ag-
riculturist of Dakota, who are the rep
resentatives of its wealth, and the class
to which it will owe its progress, do not
desire to have their form of government
changed, 10y reason of the increased bur-
dens it would impose upon them, and
many of them have expressed their strong
opposition to the proposed measure and
denounced it as a scheme of few poll
ticians in Dakota, whose incentive has
been the qualification of their personal
ambition, and have characterized it
as measure not desired by
the agricultural community of Dakota. :"
Of the counties Of this proposed COM
monwealth, there are sixteen that have
no population, seven with less than 100
each, four with but little more than 100,
two with something over 200, one with
534, and one with 793. The land pre-
emptions in Dakota are largely fraudu-
lent and speculative, and, as has been
shown, one county in the territory is
disgraced by reputation of it's bonds.
Nor can it be claimed that Dakota is
growing. That was promised of Nevada
when it was admitted, and yet to-day it
has not as much population as the upper
senatorial district Of Lancaster county,
though it has two United States sena-
tors and a member of the House. The
entire valuation for Dakota territory is
not greater than Lancaster city, and al
together the project for its admission is
a vile political job, nothing more nor
less

the CHILL PERUVIAN MATTER.

Felinghuyssn's InstructiOns to Trescott.
The president yesterday sent to the
House communication from the secretary
of state saying that, up to the present
time, the state department "has received
no information either from Mr.. Trescott
or from the diplomatic representatives of
the United States in Chilli or Peru that
any protocol has been signed by Mr.. Tres
colt or by such diplomatic Representatives" !"
The communication is accompanied by
copies of kilograms exchanged between
Mr.. Trescott and the department,
and an instruction mailed to Mr..
Trescott on the oath ultimo. The
keynote of the instructions is
struck in telegram from Mr..
Frelinghuysen to Mr.. Trescott, dated Feb.
4, 1882, which says "The president in
structs me to say that this government can
only propose to give counsel and aid ne
gotiations. Chill must determine for her
self whether she deems it wise to listen to
such counsel. No part will be taken by
the United States in negotiations based
both upon the surrender of Tara
paca and the payment of an in
demnity of 100000, 900. The demand
is looked upon as exorbitant and it is
thought that the time has como when
Chill may be msgnanimous and just" In
the letter of instructions it is said that
the "TraditioDal attitude of the United
States towards the sister republics of this
continent is one Of peace and friendly
counsels. Weaim to be regard
ed as disiuterested friend and counsellor,
but we do not assume to impose our
wishes upon them, or to act as arbitrator
or umpire in their disputes unless moved

Commissioner Green b. Raum made Q
great parade before and durfsg the Chi
cagO convention of his friendship for
Grant, and was president of the Illinois
Republican state convention that appointed
delegates to the national convention, and
went to Chicago as the avowed friend of
Grant, he was secretly working all the in
fluence of his Office for Sherman. Letters
to this effect have been procured and other
evidence showing that the revenue service
of the country was manipulated in this
manner against Grant by q man who
openly declared himself the friend Of
Grant, but who was really the friend Of
John Sherman and engaged in obtaining
the secrets of the Grant leaders, and fur
nishing Sherman and his friends with the
information thus obtained. This is very
sad, and the organs which have been busy
explaining by whom and why the Garfield
Rosecrans letter was given away, and
which have never explained who wrote
the Morey letter, may now devote their
powerful minds to explaining who exposed
Raum in this melancholy manner.
The tariff commission bill, which passed
the Senate yesterday by the decided and
emphatic vote Of 3s to Is, the free traders
generally opposing it, Bayard and other
eastern Democrats supporting it, provides
for commission of nine members, to be
appointed by the president and confirmed
by the Senate, to receive as compensation
for their services ten dollars per day when
actually employed and travelling and other
necessary expenses. To investigate all the
various questions relating to the agricul.
tural, commercial, mercantile, manufac-
turing, mining and industrial interests of
the United States so far as the same may
be necessary to the establishment OF a
judicious tariff or revision Of the existing
tariff and the existing system of internal
revenue laws upon a scale Of justice to all
interests, and to report to Congress from
time to time and to make final report
not later than the first Monday in January,
1888. Let this settle it. The tariff ad-
justment is business matter to be made
on business principles by business mel.
Take it out of politics. Politics and busi-
ness will both be better for it.

to 1t by the wish Of both parties, or by
controlling interests of our own. Re-
straining our action within, this sphere,
the president desires you to continue to
urge upon Chill, both by the arguments
suggested in this instruction, and by such
other pertinent arguments not inconsistent
Herewith as may occur to you from your
knowledge Of the subject, the wisdom and
justice of making peace without the ao-
QUESTION of Tarapaca, unless the province
should eventually become Chilian through
the inability of Peru to pay reasonable

about to close their doors, surrender
their franchises, scatter their professors

these conclusions are the renewed in

forcible illustration Of a boy educa-
