More Harmony.

The democracy Of Pennsylvania expressed
constructed platform. This has been con-
sidered imprudent and unwise talk by the
free trade wing of that multifarious party.
From Kentucky comes the anathema mara.
natha of Watterson lie wants to let Penn
sylvania go to tho devil" Ohio and Indiana
have excommunicated the keystone state in
milder terms. The free traders of Iowa have
been growing between drinks, but are so
occupied with their defense of intemporonce
in the present campaign as to be unable to
fifty rebuke their brethren in the Alleghenies.
At last, however, the editor of the Dubuque.
Herald, one of the ablest of them all, men,
bcr of tho national democratic committee
has found time to voice the senti-
ment of his party in that state
He says that the resolutions of the Penn
sylvania democracy "are mostly of local
character, but on the tariff question they are
bold and outspoken in favor of tariff for
revenue and protection so adjusted as to
work all sorts of miracles and cure all manner
of diseases like the label on bottle of quack
medicine. As might be expected tho Penn
sylvania democracy is in favor of the entire
abolition of the present system of internal
taxation This proves that the external
taxation, by which all the people of the rest
of the country pay tribute to Pennsylvania, is
approved by all parties in that state, and that
Gen. Hancock was right when he said that
in his native state the tariff was merely q
local question"
This shows the kind of harmony existing
between democracy of the east and west Mr..
Editor Ham has but recently returned from
visit to the sage Of Cipher alley. He was
doubtless there impressed with the need of
harmony and takes the first opportunity to
harmonize. He is not only shrewd poll
tician and an able journalist, but withal a
scholarly, polished gentleman who cannot say
ego to the devil" as does his brilliant CO.
laborer in Kentucky; nevertheless he thinks
] it, and conveys his thought quite forcibly.
He says that Pennsylvania is re-
publican state when the republican party is
united as it now seems to be, and he is not
expecting q democratic victory there for
many years to come. Indeed, he seems to
hope that his party may lose, for the reason
that success may make them troublesome in
the national convention. They might come
there and kill the pretty pet plank "for rev.
enue only" by protective clause. If they
are defeated their pretensions will be tho
more easily squelched. This kind of demo-
cratic harmony seems on the increase. If it
continues, as it probably will, many year
will pass away before the voters of this
country will "let the rascals in."

The Negro tIl Politics,

The colored voters of the United States, as
they are about school teachers. They cannot
be made to vote for democratic enemies of
negro suffrage and free schools unless repub-
lican candidates are thrust forward who have
been bartering with the bourbons at the
negro's expense during the past ten years.
The sham republicans who have during that
mercenares, ready at all times TO trip the
negro in his race for life, or to put stone in
his shOc have been very conspicuous in
the councils of the republican party
during the past six years from
the fact that they have largo stock
of first class impudence which enables them
to crowd themselves to the fore, and also from
the fact that some of them conduct very large
newspapers falsely claiming at odd times to
be republican. As between these false men
and the democratic party the negroes of the
country would have little to govern them in
making choice. The discussion now
going on as 10 whether the republic
can party is to retain the negro
support bogs tho main question, which
is whether or not the republican party
is to be engineered by the real friends of the
black man or by his faithless bctrayers,
This question of fact will be determined by
the negroes themselves when the party shall
have presented its presidential candidate.
If it accepts the leadership of mon who have
never been known to oppose the democratic
party's purposes, except while asking for
negro votes, it will be difficult to show that
II democratic master would be any worse than
bogus republican overseer always ready to
obey that MASTER That is all there Is of the
question.

MOST of scientists tell us something dread
full that we are in great danger of, but give
us no remedy. We are glad to have found an
exception to this rule. This scientist is al
American, and his name is Smith. "Long may
he wave" Here is what Smith says
It is now known that tho dreadful trchinm is
bred to perfection in rats, and transmitted to
whatever animals eat them, particularly hogs
also that the germ of the tape worm is found al
most, ifnot quite exclusively in fresh beef, probu.

known that germs develop differently according
to the kind of animal in which they find lodp.

them.
Now this is truly horrible to people who
eat hog meat or beef Most of scientists
would leave us here, saying, "as it were
I've told you the facts, take care of yourself
Not so with Smith. He, like true philau-
thropist, as he no doubt is, says, here's your
remedy" when you eat suspected hog meat,
or beef, let it be cooked at 212 degrees of heat,

On Thursday next the republicans of Ham
ilton county, Ohio, meet to make nomina-
tions. This is month earlier than usual,
and is notice to the democrats that the re.
publcans have determined upon long and
aggressive campaign. The deliberations of
the Hamilton county convention will be
looked for with much interest throughout
the country, for the nominations and resolu-
tions will show what line of policy is to be
pursued on the great battle ground which
embraces Cincinnati. Within the next ten
days the great campaign in Ohio will be in
augurated. Its bearing upon the presidential
struggle of 1854 will be considerable, and we
may expect, therefore, to SEQ it fought with
all the energy tho respective parties can
command. At present tho republicans are
united, while their opponents are badly
divided. We look with confidence for q
handsome victory for tho republican party.

The Surplus Revenue.

The San Francisco Chronicle, starting out
with the idea that there will bo for many
years to come revenue Of one hundred mil.
lions, has figured up the proper way to dis
pose of it. 1t doubts the constitutional right
Of congress to distribute it among the states,
but thinks it can appropriate without stint
money for tho improvement Of the Missis-
sippi the Columbia, or the Sacramento rivers.
Congress can establish national school
system to cooperate or aid state systems as

Cattle Raising in Brazil.

made an elaborate report to the department
of State upon tho cattle raising industry
in Brazil. Tho southern portion of
the province of Rio Grande de Sui, as being
the best suited for stockraising, is partcu-
larly considered. Land in this locality is
difficult to obtain, it being generally
hereditarily transmitted. Should it, however,
come upon the market, the owners of adjoin-
ing property will make almost any sacrifice
to obtain IL, rather than have q stranger set
tie in the neghborhood. Land is worth, ac-
cording to quality, from $40 to $50 for each
braca of frontage by 5000 bracas "a braca Is
z feet q inches). Stock cattle are worth
in n herd Of cows, yearlings, and few
bulls, one with the other, So to SO; for butch
ering they bring from $3.50 to $l3
They are generally sold at the breeding
grounds, as tho means of transportation is of
the most primitive and the cost large. The
slaughter last year amounted 10 100000 head,
against 275,00O the year before.
