The state journal., 1884-03-15

Men engaged in a newspaper en-
terprise are affol ded great opportunity
to see the want Of unity and encour-
agement, and to discover the exist
ence of much sordidness from those
of whom much better things are ex-
pected. There are class Of people
who look with contempt upon their
fellow beings, who are not so fortu-
nate as to hold similar positions, and
to have attained or enjoyed scholastic
and social advantages, such as they
boast Of When a newspaper, the
acknowledged source from which con
clusions are. drawn and opinions
formed, is published ostensible to
enhance the opportunities and sur
roundings of this less fortunate class
to open up, as it were, an avenue
direct for the youth to become con-
versant with the printing and type
setting, and all things pertaining
thereto, we think it should be encour-
aged by the more radiant lights, since
all trades union are closed against our
youth, instead of which, as we have
found it in one or two instances,
prominent school teachers entrusted
with the great care Of teaching the
young idea how to shoot, will have
paper sent them for a time and
when requested to pay for it that the
paper may be kept on its feet, and
that the object desired for the good
of many may be realized, they posi-
lively refuse to pay and want it dis
continued. Now, such meanness and
lack of united effort is what has re
tarded and generally injured a whole
race. When persons become so bonn
bastic that they cannot stoop to aid
in elevating the race with which they
are identified, they are void of the
rudiments of manhood and principle,
and are deserving of pity rather than
censure. May they soon learn wis
dom.

AFTER THE nYNAMITERs.

United States Alto rneys and Marshals
Ordered to Keep Eyes Open.
WAsHINGTON. March 13.-The follow

States attorneys and marshalS
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, WASHING
TON, d. c., March ITO the District
Attorneys and Marshals Of the United
States By direction of the President !
have to inform you it is reported that Ger
tain persons are aiding in the prOsecu-
ton Of heinous crimes by shipping to
foreign ports explosives dangerous in the
highest degree to life and property. No
proof has been adduced that this rumOr
is founded upon fact, and the President
cannot believe its truth. The honor
of this Nation, however requires
that it should not be opened to
the imputation, unfounded though
it be- of the slightest appearance
of tOlerating such crimes, whether to be
committed against our people or those OF
other countries. Your attention is there
fore called to sections 1858, 1854, $685.
1878 and 1870 Of the Revised Statutes of
the United States, which regulate the
shipment Of explosives, and the punish
ment Of those who infringe their provis-
ions, and you are instructed to be dill
gent in your efforts to prevent the often
ses described, and to detect and prose
cute those who have or may commit
them Very respectfully,

Some of the papers have been dis
posed to reflect upon Pennsylvania
for having no available or suitable
material in her borders to fill the sew
eral positions above mentioned, with
any degree of creditable representa-
ton. We would state to these much
annoyed journalists, that when they
make this declaration they show
lack of knowledge Of Pennsylvania,
and some of her most valuable citi
zens, and in our opinion the old Key
stone State compares favorably with
any in the Union in point of ability,
craftsmanship, literary and political
attainments, and we DEFY contradic
ton. When such gentlemen as Ed,
win II. Filter, John B. Packer, Chas.
Emory Smith, Thos. V. Cooper, Ms
Quay, James A. Beaver, Leyering
Jones, and a host of others too nu-
merous to mention, grace State,
said State has great cause for rejoic
ing. Some have been long and favor
ably known in politics, while others
have quietly pursued the even tenor
Of their way in the commercial world,
in each instances paying due defer
ence to State and National affairs,
thereby keeping pace with the ques
tons of the hour and the momentOus
events of the times. Such men as are
herein named are fully equal to the
emergency and demands of the coun'
try, and in either of the above named
parties, if called. would reflect credit,
not alone upon their State, but the
Nation. AS rennsylyanians, we are
proud of our citizens, and the people
in seeking for suitable candidates can
unquestionably go farther and fare
worse than in making selection from
this most estimable number of true,
tried and honorable names.

man whose whole life has been spent
as sponge upon public patronage, a
man who. has received abroad a pau
per's education at the expense ofatrust-
ing people whom he has duped, a
man whose whole life has been
blank, a political tramp claiming a
home here, there, anywhere that at
fords him a chance to indulge in
indoIence, is a fit subject to claim
that he represents several citizens and
to criticise an honest effort to secure
that which we ought to have without
asking for. If there is a colored
citizen in Dauphin county who thinks
we have erred in asking of the Re
publican party of this city and county
delegate to the State Convention,
our columns are open to him to make
the charge among his own people.

" Congressman"

A Sunday contemporary warns us
of an approaching contest between
the machine and the people in the
selection of Congressman for this,
the Fourteenth Congressional Dis
trict. Mr.. S. F. Barr is said to repre-
sent the machine, and Mr.. Gilbert the
people. We should wholly deprecate
any such contest, for the reason that
it would create a disaffection in the
camp. We think Mr.. Barr should
know when he has enough, and when
to gracefully step down and out, but
if it comes to the worst, as predicted,
Mr.. Gilbert must win. AS this repre-
sentation heretofore has been mana
ged, custom we believe entities North
cumberland county to the candidate,
and if adhered to in this case, no bet
ter person can be selected than Hon.
John B. Packer, if he can be pre-
vailed upon to serve his State in that
capacity once again. He is the choice
of the people, and his vast knowledge
and experience would add tone and
dignity to the position.

The pusillanimous sea mp who oin
gloriously availed himself of the priv
ileges Of a Sunday contemporary and
therein had published libelous arti
Gle which alleges that there is marked
dissatisfactionexisting among the col
ored people of this district, as regards
their purpose to secure delegate to
the State convention, is certainly be-
yond the pale of responsibility and a
thoughtless migrate. He seems to be
forgetful that he is greatly indebted
to the people here about for slleace,
regardingsomepast transactionswhich
if made public would injure him in
the estimation of the public, in his
new official role and bring remorse
and chagrin upon his venerable gray
haired alliances. The great respect
in which his relations are regarded by
us serves to save him from an ex-
posure at this time. He had better
be warned and discontinue his efforts
to create dissention in this community
as seems to be his want, or our respect
for his family connections will cease
to be a virtue. We are burdened by
a great sin in concealing fragrant
commissions, in as much as he is in a
position to repeat his old game. We
admonish his official associates to be
careful and watchful, his having
no interest in anything here
abouts, save transient room and board
is the underlying motive, combined
withtreachery to his race that doubtless.
prompted the attack, for there is not
one scintilla of truth in any part of
his effusion. We are filled with a
purpose to fight it out on this
line if it takes all Summer, his asser
tons to the contrary Notwithstanding
