The Two Issues.

There are two important issues in the
State election this fall one between
the Republican bosses and equal repre-.
sentation. The jobbers in the treasury
must go. They have made spoil of the
peoples money until the taxpayers have
determined that it must cease. The
only way this can be done is to elect
Joseph Powell, State Treasurer. For
many years the public money has been
distributed among certain banks, with
out paying the State one penny for the
use of it, while they trade upon it and
make large profit. BY this means pri-
vate banking institutions make several
hundred thousand dollars year off the
taxpayers. This profit the banks have
in hand to use in corrupting the ballot
box. The election of Mr.. Powell will
change the system. The Republican
party has set its face like steel against
equal representation. The Republican
Senate has been in session nine months
and opposes all apportionment but the
most unjust gerrymander. While the
constitution makes it obligatory OIL the
Legislature to apportion the State at
the first session after the census shall
have been taken, the Republicans ut
terly refuse to discharge this constitu-
tional duty. They stand as obstruc-
tionists, and violate their oath of Office,
On their shoulders rest all the response
bility, and it is fearful one. 1t is
justly said that the subject of represen-
tation goes down to the very founda-
ton of our government. The constitu-
tion intends that appointments shall be
just that each party shall have repre-
sentation according to its strength,
and whenever this is not the case you
do violence to our former government.
What Democrats contend for this year
is equally important to Republicans,
Equal representation was the keynote
of the Revolution. The Senate stands
in the attitude of hostility to the cher
ished American principle. The people
will not sustain them.-Doytesto'oa
Democrat.

HELP THE CAUSE.

Columbia is expected to maintain
her rank among the leading Democrat
ic counties of the State on the 9th of
November, aud every man has share
of the work to do. If there are any
who feel that this is an off year, and
think it matter of Indifference
whether they vote or not, they should
shake off their apathy, and arouse
themselves to the Importance of the
situation. We now have the Gov
ernor, popular branch of the legisla-
ture, Secretary of Internal affairs, and
there is no reason why we should not
have the State Treasurer and Auditor
General, which will place the entire
State government in Democratic hands.
But this is not all. Next year comes
the Presidential election, and with
Pennsylvania and Ohio Democratic
this year, the race for the highest
Office in the nation will be easy in
1884 ''How can help?' do you
say? If you have neighbor or friend
who is Indifferent, urge him up TO his
duty, give him your newspapers to
read, if he has none of his own, and
see that he gets to the polls. When
ever you have an opportunity explain
the situation to your friends, and get
them all interested in the battle, and
when you have done this, do not fail
to be at the polls early and work late
send out for those who are not on
hand, and get in every honest vote,
With such work faithfully performed
we shall carry the State.

ITEMS.

Mrs Langtry arrived in New York
on Sunday the l4th. She will begin
her season at Burlington, W. In Jan-
uary she will appear in New York in a
new play entitled, "Paril.'
Reports from various sections of the
state in reference to the iron trade are
encouraging. While the profits of
manufacture are small, because of over
production, yet by economy the fur
naces can be kept in blast. General
prosperity is reported from Montgom-
cry, Delaware, Schuylkill, Dauphin,
Lycoming, Northumberland, Lacka-
wanna and Allegheny counties.
The republican papers think it strange
that the Ohio farmers should have
given such a heavy vote for the demo.
cratic ticket. There is snothing strange
about it, When the party of high pro.
lection cut down the wool tariff it for
feited its claim to the farmer vote. The
farmer owes nothing to party which
denies him the protection which he
needs aud gives it to others less entitled
to it.-Erie Herald

seized six sets of steel dies for making
gold quarter and half dollar pieces. The
dies were in the possession of Christie

facture of these small coins has been on
large scale ard the profits to the
makers were enormous. 1t is said that
the quarters cost only seven cents aud
the half dollars fifteen cents. Large
quantities of them were sold in the
east to immigrants of trains. coming

The Legislature still jogs along as
usual, the House passing apportionment
bills, and the Senate refusing to con-
slider them. The Senate still contin-
ues its sessions on Tuesday and Friday,
coming together only long enough to
pass amotion 20 adjourn. 1t was hoped
that the result in Ohio might open the
eyes of Boss Cooper, and his satellites,
but they seem to go on in their revolu-
tlonary and outrageous obstruction to
compliance with the highest law of our
State. On the 9th of November they
will find that utimatums are not popu-
lar in Pennsylvania.

Senator Bayard of Delaware was re-
Gently interviewed at Martinsburg,
West Virginia, whore he is visiting
The following conversation took places
Senator, how do you regard the re-
suit in Ohio 7"
"Most favorably. We are now Ger.
tain of president next year. Even
had Foraker been elected, our chances
would have not been jeopardzed, but,
as it is they are better than ever. Had
the Republicans won, it would have
given them some grounds for hope,
nothing more.'
When asked as to his real attitude
towards Governor Butler Senator Bay
ard became very earnest and expressed
himself forcibly.
'Do you regard him as true Demo
crat ~
"No, | do not. How could | so re.
gard the man who was formerly one oi
our most bitter and violent opponents,
and who now crawls back into the
party only that he may secure the emo
luments and honors. The Democratic
party cannot trust the man who applied
the knife of treacherv in 1861. He
might do so again"
allow do you regard General Butler
as a prospective Democratic candidate
for the presidency next year 7"
II do not regard him at all. y
why"
because he deserted the party when
it was most in need of aid and support,
and only crawled back when he thought
it was again in the ascendency. The
local and provincial issues of Massa
chusetts may demand such leader,
but the national interests and issues do
not, and never will"

Vanderbilt.

Under this heading the American
Sentry, a paper published in New
York prints the following article. which
we reproduce, as the subject of railroad
building is one in which this country is
interested just now,
'The popula, outcry directed against
our railway kings as greedy monopo-
lists, without at the same time arraign-
ing the prevailing wish and effort on
the part of vast proportion of our
people to become monopolists just as
far as they are able to do so, is alto
gether too much of one-sided proceed
ing to promote reform.
So far as monopolistic tendency and
a desire to get money without earning
it are concerned, Gould, Vanderbilt,
and few other successful spectators
are simply the true representatives of
the will and effort of a majority of
their accusers, and have become promi
nent mainly because their clearer judg.
ment and greater energy have enabled
them to discover and turn to their own
advantage the mighty possibilities
opened up by the invention of the rail
road and locomotive.
But for the vast number of specula-
tors, representing almost every business
and profession, including even farmers
aud ministers, who are ever insanely
anxious to get something for nothing,
and with the purpose of doing it, rush
into the gambling maelstrom of Wall
street, they who Outgeneral the mass

for the exercise of abe peculiar talents
employed in Wall street tactics.

Retirement Of General Sherman.

An executive order announcing the
retirement of General Sherman from
active duty November lst, and the
changes incident thereto, will probably
be issued at once. 1t is understood
that Major General Hancock will sue
ceed Lieutenant General Sheridan in
command of the division OF the Mis-
souri that Major General Pope will
succeed General Hancock in command
of the Division of the East and that
Major General Schofeld will remain in
command of the Division of the Pa

Lieutenant General Sheridan's com.

As announced last week the result in
Ohio was majority of 10000 for the
democrats. The Philadelphia Times
frankly admits that this is great
democratic victory, and republican
crash, and says there is no use of beat
ing around the bush. Republicans in
this State are disheartencd, and exhibit
no enthusiasm, while the democratic
leaders and candidates are confident of
success if we only get out the vote BY
carrying Pennsylvania thisyear, we will
ensure the election of democratic
President in 1884. Get oW the cote.

To meet the demands of the

the most prudent, we confine our
selves entirely to the sale Of such

Recognizing the fact that in

as we can unhesitatingly recon-
mend as a judicious money in

In Rubies, Emcralds, Sapphires,

fortunate in securing many beau

The Civil Rights ACT.

The Civil Rights Act has been de-
clared unconstitutional by the supreme
court of the United States. A decision
was rendered on Monday, iu five civil
rights cases.
These cases were all based on the
first and second sections of the civil
rights act of 1875, and were respective
ly prosecutions under that act for not
admitting certain colored persons to
equal accommodations aud privileges
in inns or hotels, in railroad cars and
in theatres. The defense set up in
every case was the alleged unconstitu-
tionality of the law. The first and sec
ond sections of the act, which were the
parts directly in controversy, are as
