Our ticket is too strong for Mr..

There is a use for everything in

The Philadelphia Times presents
Mr.. Dana as an acceptable candidate

The Golden Epoch says there is
no country in the world where the
colored mechanic and laborer can
make as good a living as in the south.
In the north it keeps colored man
kicking the year round to make
living, while in the south he does not
work two thirds of the time and yet
gets along in life.
The Independent of Philadelphia
supposes that if the colored voters of
Pennsylvania and Ohio were to 60
wrong this election that the presi-
dency would be lost to Blaine, "but
this is a supposition that will never
be reality.

it is not bad thing that the call for

State Senator Emory has decided to

The Harrisburg Telegraph argues
that the Democratic party, which de-
clared the war a failure in 1864,
ought not to pretend that it cannot
support Bayard because he. made a
peace speech in 1861.

Senator Bayard is no no more to be
condemned for his Dover speech, than
the whole Democratic party which
felt as he spoke.

Independent Republican.

Perhaps the most uncertain thing IN
the world to depend upon is the lndes
pendent Republican. Nine cases out Of
ten where you scratch him real hard
you will find seven-tenths Democrat
and three-tenth6 puzzle. He is never
satisfied with what other people
want, he never likes what other pee
pie like, if you dump him into
stream he will swim up against the
current or any way rather than do
like other people, he always has a
policy which can only be defined by
himself, he is a regular boom reform
er but wants to do the reform act by
himself. None of the leading ques-
tions suits his ideas and none of the
leading men are his ideal. Now
there is only one kind Of an independ-
ent and that is an Independent Re-
publican, we never hear of an lnde-
pendent Democrat, Greenbacker or
Reformer. This species always draws
upon the Republican ranks and keeps
just far enough within the line to
kick and assert his isindependence when
ever occasion admits, which is often.
He is coming to the front in the
present campaign, springlng up all
over the country like mushroom
and with all of his attes.atlons Of love
for the grand old party, he bears
watching there is not room enough
in this country for him. Why not
annex Cuba or Canada and let the
independent go over in one of these
countries and run little government
wholly devoted to reform and con-
traryness. Something must be done
to please this inevitable kicker OF
there will be trouble for the regular
party. Whenever man has been
tinged with Democracy and sees by
a miscroscopic investigation chance
to be persuaded to keep quiet by the
usual methods used, he becomes an
Independent Republican and nothing
stops his clamor but a good fat office
or some of the persuaions which
operated on Judas. 1t can be said
to the credit of the average colored
man, however, that he never makes
good Independent for when he does
lay down the old garment of Repub
licanism he usually puts on the whole
Democratic garb and never parades as
a wolf in sleeps clothing. We would
admonish Mr.. Blaine to keep an eye
upon the Independent Republican fol-

THE further we get away from the
National Republican convention and
the more we think of the honor con
ferred upon the colored people by the
election of Hon. J. r. Lynch as
chairman Of the convention the more
reminded we are of the immense
quantity of taffy served out to the
colored voters by this distinguished
honor Mr.. Lynch appreciated this
position thoroughly as he showed by
his sensible speech which did not
overflow with profuse thanks for
being made a means to serve an end.
If the men who have been Repub-
licans all Of their lives and who
would rather vote for a Democratic
president than man who happened
not TO be there choice, could under
stand that no matter who the Demo
cratic nominee may be that he will
be elected on Democratic platform
and will be controlled by Democratic
influence, perhaps they would be rec
onciled TO take just one more under
Rip Van Wrinkles plea that it won't

FRANKLIN AND MARSHALL
COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES AT THE

Before the Literary Societies Tuesday
Evening-Meeting of the Alumni
Society Reunions-Other Inter

The commencement exercises at Frank

this week, are more than usually inter-
esting. AS there are number of Harris
burg boys among the students and large
number of citizens members of the
alumni we have devoted more than the
usual amount of space to synopsis OF
the proceedings. Tuesday evening the
exercises, which will be concluded to-
day, were inaugurated by an address be-
fore the literary societies of the College
by Col. A X. Mcclure, in the court
house The audience was very large.
w. U. Hensel, Esq. of the Intelh.
qencer, introduced Col. Mcclure, who
made an able, scholarly address, which
occupied one hour and half in its de-
livery. His subject was college
Dreams. He was frequently greeted by
applause. The NeD Era, speaking of the
address, said:
'It was in Col. Mcclure happiest

Of what was justly regarded as one of the
best addresses ever heard in this city-tO

profession and business in our city, step
ped to the front and paid their respects to

Northern Pacific Land Grant.

When President Harris of the North
ern Pacific railroad appeared before he

gave a history of the enterprise from the
beginning, claiming the same wise con-
siderations for not declaring the grant
forfeited that prevailed with congress
heretofore should be continued as long
as the Northern Pacific company dis
played energy in executing the work
and until the road as chartered was COM
pleted. Good faith to the thousands of

Ting on Puget sound, looking to the
completion of the Cascade division, and

answerable reason why congress and
government should do nothing toward
checking or delaying the work. Presi-
dent Harris is evidently no SLOUGH.

Railroad Prospects.

A visit to Helena at this time is calcu-
lated to give one a good deal of conf
dence in the much talked of Fort Ben
tor branch of the Northern Pacific. The
e~nterprising citizens Of the capital are
hard at work to secure this line and
are confident success will 0 their
efforts. They recognize the fact that
railroad connection with Fort Benton,
the head Of navigation on the Missouri,
would be a great advantage to Helena,
as it would open new tributary fields to
that city as well as tend to keep freight
tariff within reasonable limits. They
propose, if possible, to make Helena the
railroad center of the territory, and the
next essential step in hat direction is
to secure the Benton branch, which will
undoubtedly be the most important
feeder of the Northern Pacific in Mon
tana. During his recent visit TO New
York Mr.. S. T. Hauser, who is more
closely connected with the N. P. man.
agement than any other citizen of Mon
tana, received assurances that warrant
him to state positively that the Benton
branch will be built from Helena, and
commenced the present year. This is
the general opinion at the capital, based
largely upon Mr.. Hauser's assertion. It

pany, backed by the Northern Pacific
or some strong syndicate in the interest
of that company. It is rumored that J.
J. Hill has become interested in the
project, which, if true, means the speedy
carrying out Of the scheme. Mr.. Hills
large interes,s at Great Falls and vicini-
ty would be enhanced to a fabulous
amount by the building of this road, a
fact that gives color to the belief that he
is interested in the project, and will see
it put through without delay. Our chief
reliance, however, is upon the efforts
that will be put forth by the citizens of
-Helena-under the lead of such men as
S. Il. Hauser, r. G. Power, Col. Sanders,
G. A. Broadwater and others-in whose
Upright lexicon,' when it comes to a
matter of public enterprise. there is no
such word as FAIL.

Mining Decision.

The supreme court of Utah has made
the following rulings in a recent mining
salt:
"Work done outside of a mining
claim, if done for the purpose and as a
means Of developing the same, is as
available for holding the claim as if
done within the boundaries of the claim
itself. One general system of work may
be devised, we'll adapted and intended
to develop several contiguous. claims,
and when such is the case, work in fur
therance of the system is work on the
claims intended to be developed by it.
1.-The terms lode and VEIN as used
in the acts of congress in reference to
the location of mining claims, are such
ers.
Expert testimony is admissible to
show that a claim contained such a vein
as a miner discovering it would be likely
to follow, with the reasonable expecta-
ton of finding paying ore.
stValid location of q mining claim
may be made whenever the prospector
has discovered such indications of min
eral that he is willing to spend his time
and money in following them, in the
expectation of finding ore.
Where the validity Of q claim de-
ponds upon whether a lode has been
discovered and located, evidence that
such claim contains a vein within its
boundaries, at places other than 1T the
discovery point, is admissible
