WE observe that the electric lights
contracted for by the city are to be sus-
pended from wooden poles. This is
wrong. The city authorities should not
he willing to impose these distractions
upon the streets. 1t is very questiona.
BILE, indeed, whether they have the
power to plant poles without the con-
sent Of the property owners. We do not
think that they have, and we advise
every owner Of property, who objects to
having a great pole planted on his side
walk, to forbid it and prevent it. If
erected let him cut it down and test the
extent of the right of the city to encum-
Der bis property. The streets and side,
walks are dedicated to public use for
passage ways, and as such they should
be obstructed as little as possible.
Electric lights may be introduced by
burying the wires under ground, and
therefore the erection of poles is not
necessary TO the lighting of the city. But
even supposing that overground wires
must be strung, certainly the citizen can
claim that they shall be put up with as
little damage as possible to private rights
and with AZ little obstruction as possible
TO the public passage ways. In the large
cities where electric wires are suspended,
they are hung on iron posts of small
diameter, which are not unsightly

Proposition for an Honest DlstrictIns OF the
State Voted Down by Republicans.
In the Senate, yesterday, the following
resolution was offered by Mr.. Patton
(Oem.) "That committee bs appointed
by the Senate to, meet similar commit.
tee to be appointed by the House, with
instructions to frame congressional and
legislative apportionment bills, with as
few certain and as many close and doubt
full districts as they may find it possible to
make, having due regard for the require
ments of the constitution, SO that the will
of the people may have it's full effect at
all future elections for representatives in
the state and national Legislature, and all
changes in public sentiment growing out of
the conscientious exercise of private judg-
ment in political affairs may have due ex-
preston through the ballet box and full
fruition in our halls of Legislation"
After considerable discussion the resolu-
ton was defeated by party vote of IA to
II, the affirmative vote being cast by the
Democrats.
Tho Democratic Position.
Senator Wallace said that the PROPOSE
ton appeared to the Republicans to be a
little ugly to take, tho same as anything
else that comes as an honest effort to ar
rive at a settlement of the apportionment
question. Hence it was that adjectives
came in such abundance and prop
er methods were sueered ut as
nonsensical and ridiculous, only
fit for Barnum to take charge of.
But you say to Us in your bill that tho
40, 600 majority in Philadelphia and AL
legheny are entitled to eight congressman.
What of the rest of the state Are not
the voters in the smaller cities and towns
and on tho farms as worthy of as much
consideration as the voters of Philadelphia
and Allegheny? We said emphatically in
the regular session that the Democrats
were entitled to-, thirteen congressman
yet were willing to take eleven
having conceded, and conceded, and con-
ceded, until concession is no longer
practicable. You are careful to offer a
bill which places every doubtful county
in Republican districts to crush out
entirely the Democratic vote. So you
have disposed of Washington, Mifflln,
Mexican, Perry, franklin, Union, Lack
awanna, Crawford, Huntingdon, Bucks
and Montgomery. You swallow up
in heavy Republican districts Democratic
counties wherever practicable. So you
dispose of Wayne, Wyoming, Jun late,
Clarion, Sullivan, Fulton, Cambria and
then you gave us one Republican county,
Cameron, in D emocratic district. This
bill at every step, at every point is made
for the exclusive benefit of the Republi-
can party. Gentlemen, we cannot accept

LO1AN'S STORY.

!. Docs Not rally Exactly with McCiure's.
Mr.. Logan, who is very we'll known to
his fellow citizens of Lancaster, having
had his attention called to Col. McClure's
narrative, corrects it in some of tho par
ticulars relating to himself. He says that
when he came up to where Fitzhugh was
making some corduroy road Cook
was already there. Fitzhugh tipped
him the wink and told Cook that
here was a man who kept o store and
could furnish him with salt meat, which
he said he was looking for. Cook had no
rifle, but Logan said ho had Il revolver in
his pocket and kept his hand upon T.. On
pretense that his store was a short way of
he got Cook to go with him, and as soon
as an opportunity presented itself he
grasped his hand, arrested him and re.
lieved him of his pistol aud knife. Fitz
hugh was not with them, nor any one else;
but the Episcopal preacher at Mount Alto
ran to Logan's help with q clothes line to
tic Cook. Logan says he recognized
Cook at once from description of him
which he had seen in the Baltimore
Snn. He did not tic him and needed no
help to hold him when he was disarmed.
The prisoner steadily denied his identity
until Logan intimated that he was work
ing for a reward, when Cook admitted who
he was and gave Logan his commission
from John Brown and other identifying
articles to keep for him, so that he might
not be recognized. Upon the preliminary
hearing Cooks identity was denied and Lo'
gan produced the papers. Logan says he has
no knowledge of the schemes to effect
Cooks escape, but he thinks they would
have been Ineffective, as he and others
were watching the Jail, day and night,
closer than Col. Mcclure knew, and they
would not have let a 81, 900 prisoner get
away so easily. Logan went to Virginia
with Cook, and also attended his trial
as witness. He was promptly paid the
reward and was presented with a Sharp's
rifle, by Gov. Wise, inscribed with his
name and the occasion of the gift &; he
thinks the rifle is yet somewhere in Frank
lin county, as he traded it on a sleigh.

Judge Blacks Condition.

The condition of Judge Black is much
improved, and the attending physicians,
Drs. Garnett, Of Washington, and Nielsen
helder and McKinnon, of York, regard his
speedy recovery as certain, unless some
unforeseen complication should arise.
These physicians yesterday proceeded to
make radical operation for permanent
relief, with tho most happy results.
Judge Blacks family and friends feel that
to tho extraordinary skill, courage and
fidelity of his physicians is due his present
promising condition. They fought an
almost desperate battle, and, unless some
unexpected change should take place,
they have fairly won it.

The Republican party is in desperate

The negro voter will no longer jump to

lash, is the sage declaration of the Norris

The apportionment question, says the
Philadelphia Chronicle Herald, has resolved
itself into a mere physical test of the
strength of each of the parties.
The Chamborsburg Valley Spirit is cf

gone west, ought to remain there and
grow up with the country.
The Hanover Citizen says the nomiaa

approved by the Democracy of York
county, and they will receive the undivided
and enthusiastic support Of the party in
that section.
The Erie OJseruer thinks that tho two
facts that Niles was opposed to theHumes

tive of Chris Msgee, ought to be sufficient
to secure the election Of Taggart and

After John Frankford's conviction on
four charges in Chester county yesterday,
another batch of four were taken up, and
a verdict of guilty returned. This was
followed by batch of five, with the same
result. The commonwealth did not press
the other three. In every charge the
prisoner refused to plead, remaining mute,
and the court ordered plea of not guilty
to be entered. The defense took the
ground that the court had no jurisdiction,
as the prisoner was already under sentence
in tho courts of Lancaster county for a
term of fourteen years, unexpired.

GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS, in HdT-
l,er's Weekly, criticises the declaration
of the Pennsylvania Democrats on civil
service reform. Because it is for that
genuine and deep reaching civil service
reform which consists in the election to
Office of honest, intelligent, capable and
courageous public servants, who will
faithfully administer their trust, and
who will be held to strict accountability
for such discharge of it, and who will
redeem and purge the departments OF
the general government from that cor.
ruption and fraud with which they have
been permeated under Republican rule,
and which that party has shown itself
unable and unwilling to eradicate y
this means, says Harper's Weekly, that
the Republican party must 90. Very
well, if that is the logic of it we cannot
help it. If that party does not elect
honest, intelligent, capable and cour
ageous public servants" as it does not,
it must CO. If it will not faithfully ad
minister its trust, as it cOnfessedly does
not, it must 60. 1t has not redeemed
the departments from corruption aud
fraud, Harper's Weekly admits /; there
fore it must 60. 1t has had twenty
two years to perfect better system OF
civil service reform than its own exclu'
sion from Office, and yet nothing has
come of all the efforts of the Schurzes
and Curtises and Eatons. Their com
petitive system even if it had any merit,
is imperative. Not a clerkship has ct
been filled under it. The most important
appointments are not affected by it at
all, and even if some lucky fellow gets
in under it the removing power can turn
him out the next day without remedy.
Such civil service reform" is farcical.
It is the vilest sort of political quack.

and capable men, are elected to office
they will appoint better men under them

How nearly true this statement may be

How nearly true this statement may be
we do not certainly know, but we have
reason to believe that it is not exaggera-
ted. The state, when it lately sought to
collect its share of these profits, was de-
feated ANONYMOUSLY by decision of the
supreme court which followed a case
badly presented for adjudication. The
popular suspicion is that the attorneys
for the state did not do their duty; and
the supreme court itself is not free from
suspicion of its integrity by reason of a
decision which deprived the state of

reason of the enormous profit reapei by
