NO Rubbing 1t Out.

Philadelphia Record, Ind.
When we consider that the Republican
party, since it came into power, has more
than trebled the cost of state and federal
administration, per capita, to the taxpayers
of the country, We find it difficult to under.
stand the sudden access of fear growing
out of the expense incurred in endeavoring
to secure proper apportiOnment. The
expense, undoubtedly, is serious matter.
There was no necessity for it. There was
no reason for delaying tho leg
islative and judicial apportionment
of the state when the Republicans
had working majority in both
Houses at previous session of tho Lsgis-
lature. There is no reason for delay now,
except the stubborn determination of the
Republican Senate to fout the desire of
the people as expressed in the divided
control of the General Assembly between
the parties, and in the unmistakable man
date Of the constitution. The holy zsal for
economy which has come upon Republican
leaders and journals is new inspiration.
We do not think it will outlast the occa-
sion of it. When the taxpayers of the
state put their hand into their pockets to
foot the bills they will not fail to remem-
Der that the expenditures for the extra
session were made in the vain attempt to
recall Republican legislators to the per-
formance Of a statutory duty. This is the
plain fact which the dullest cl0dhOpper
will not fail to comprehend. There is no
rubbing it out.

THE profound sympathy, not only of
the Democracy, but of all the people of
Pennsylvania, goes out to Judge Black
and his family in this hour of their affic
tion, and the bulletins from his bedside
are awaited with anxious interest. He
is great and good man. For more
than forty years he has been a conspicu-
Gus public figure, and as a lawyer and
judge is the pride Of his profession.
With pronounced convictions on all
subjects of public policy. he has always
displayed fearlessness and vigor of
expression that have commanded respect
for them on all sides, while the cause of
the people is so near to him
that the utterances of no living man
in this country are received with
greater popular confidence that they
proceed from clear head and an honest,
unsel6sh and sympathetic heart. His
geniality of disposition is commensurate
with his breadth of intellect, and his
social relations even with those who
differ most widely from him are of such
kind that the messages of inquiry and
sympathy which come to his home now
are almost incessant. Judge Black has
filed q large measure of usefulness, but
he is SO vigorous in general bodily health
and Of such unabated mental strength
that the news of his critical condition
comes with severest shock to those who
know him best, and who cherish for him
the most profound affection.

The Michigan prohibition state conven-
ti0n met yesterday in Eaton Rapids. The
platform declares in favor of constitutional
and statutory prohibition OF the manufac-
ture of liquor as beverage, arraigns the
Republican party for bad faith in not sub
mitting tho question to the people, and
declares that the party is incompetent to
deal with the liquor question.
THO Georgia House of Repres entatives

Convicted on Four Indictments-rwclve
Moro To bo Tried.
In the Chester county quarter sessions
court yesterday John FrankfOrd, the no.
torious criminal and Jail breaker, was put
on trial. The Republican says that tho
announcement had the effect Of causing an
immense crowd to gather in the court
room, every seat being occupied, and n
large number had to bo satisfied with
standing room in the aisles. Ho was
brought up from the Jail by Sheriff Geo.
r. Hopes, who had him handcuffed Tho
sheriff and prisoner wero accompanied by
a large crowd from the prison to tho court
house.
Frankford was placed on tho prisoners
bench, along the outer railing of that pOr-
tion of the court room set aside for the
use of the members Of tho bar, and Sheriff
Hopes took a seat beside him, after
removing the handouts. FrankfOrl is
very much changed s;nca the day no was
arrested. Then he wore only a mustache.
and his hair was moderately short his
blind eye was then uncovered. Now he
closely approaching black, and wears over
his injured eye neat new green patch.
He did not appear to take any interest in
the proceedings, but sat with his head
resting on his right hand, occasionally
taking furtive glance around tho court
room.
The jury having been impanellcd and
there being no challenges the attorneys
proceeded to work. For the commonwealth
there were District Attorney Windle, VIM.
B. Waddell and Joseph 1Iemphill, esqs.,
and for FrankfOrd, II. T. Fairlamb and
VIM. T. Hsines, esqs. There were sixteen
bills of indictment against him, but ho
was not tried upon all at once it was
thought we'll enough to commence with
four, they boing the larceny of brown
marc, the property oil Hopes, Brc. &
Thomas, q carriage and lap blankets, and
the felOnious entry of stable.
When the district attorney was about
asking the question Of Frarkford, if he
would plead guilty or not guilty,
his counsel, MIR. Fairlamb, raised
the poiut, that this court had no
jurisdiction, as his client was a fugitive
from q sentence unserved in the Lancaster
county Jail. The court, however, over
ruled the point. The prisoner then made
no plea, standing in legal terms, mute.
The court then directed that plea of not
guilty be entered and the trial proceeded.
The story OF his operation as heretofore
related was sworn to by various witnesses !;
the defense had no testimony and tho
attorneys, Waddell and Fairlamb, each
made a speech of a few minutes. The
court then gave its charges and at 6
o'clock the jury retired. In their absence
court adjourned, but they were only out
a few minutes and returned with a sealed
verdict, which when opened this morning
was found to be guilty in all the
charges.

In the view of the editor OF an es-
teemed religious contemporary, there is
nothing sadder to contemplate than the
church member who does not take the
church paper, unless it be the member
who takes it and does not read it, but
bundles up, unread, and sells to the glo-
Gerry man for wrapping paper whole
bundle of the papers upon which the
church editor "has labored earnestly,
diligently, prayerfully for the last three
months ~ "It is one of the things
to which every editorial heart must be
come hardened. For it is one of the
things that will happen in this world, so
long as there are Indifferent, ignorant
a id unworthy members in the church,
This which in this particular
case proceeds from one who has little
cause to complain that his sprightly and
progressive journal is not read-is not an
infrequent one from the editors of
church papers. and they invariably
ascribe the trouble to the Indifferent,
ignorant and unworthy members" It is
not SO certain that it rests with them
exclusively. Many men who sit in the
editorial chairs of church newspapers do
not fill them. Their papers are dull or
if not wanting in all the requisites of Il
readable journal are dogmatic and con-
troversial to an unbearable degree. The
newspaper that people will not take or
that, if taken and paid for, is unopened
and sold for wrapping paper is generally
not worth taking and reading and if
church papers have this experience more
than any other class would it not be well
for those interested in them to inquire
for some other cause of it than the indif-
ference and ignorance of those who ought
to take them ? Probably they take the
secular papers to get the church news!

to speak of his INSCRIPTIONS purposes
and unprincipled methods in politics
that the disruption Of his following,
which has come, has always been a ques-
tion of time. The methods by which he
sought to win to his support and to
cooperation with his large and Ignorant
negro following, the baser elements of
the Democracy have naturally alienated
from him the better elements of Repub-
licanism, and these now make common
cause with his Democratic opponents to
rid the state Of his domination. There
seems to be no room for doubt of the
success of their united effort.

The Stock Market.

It is commonly said that the real
criterion of tho value of an articleis the
price it will bring in the market but
this is very often q poor criterion, and
especially does it seem to be fallible in
discovering the values of stocks It is
well understood that the prices prevail
ing in the Wall street market do not gen.
orally represent the true values Of the
stocks dealt in. The prices are often due
to manipulation, and even when they are
not, they are fixed by a class of dealers
in them who are not intelligent in their
operations. The business of buying and
selling stocks is one very easily done,
through the agency of the brokers. 1t is
q very seductive business, in view of
the fluctuations in the ruling prices;
consequently people engage in it who
are entirely inexperienced in business
and who have no business knowledge or
sagacity or any quality that tends to
make their opinion of values valuable.
They are women, boys and men of all
grades. There is nothing to keep any
one out of stock dealing save the lack Of
cash. No training is needed. The
stockboard is open to all corners through
the ready assistance of the brokers, who
are eager and ready to serve any custo
mer who wants to gamble there. The
prices fixed for stocks by the dealing of
such people cannot possibly indicate
their real value. Generally they are too
high, because gamblers are generally
sanguine sometimes they are too low,
as gamblers are often cowardly. Where
ignorance is supreme among the mer-
chants in an article, its price cannot
show its intrinsic value.
Wall street business for some time
past has been dull. Prices have been
declining, in consequence of the losses
suffered by the ignorant dealers at the
hands of the wary ones. The market
has been unsupported by the indiscrimi
nate buying of, the babes in finance.
Prices are dropping and will drop until
they reach value that is tested by the
productive power of the property or a
sensible expectation of its prospective
value. They will even be likely
to fall below their proper price
in the natural distrust of values
which prevails in such periods
of depression. But there will be
plenty of intelligence and capital to
back it to bring stocks back very soon to
their just quotations and to keep them
from going very far below it. No one of
any judgment feels alarm at the condi-
tion of the country or any doubt of lis
continued prosperity. 1t is clear that
the only thing demonstrated by the
present collapse in stock values is that
they have been dealt in fOolishly by
people who did not know what they were
doing.
