The Mexican Trouble.

There is some possibility of war with
Mexico. There is certainty of ii if she
does not surrender the claim she has made
of her right TO try her people for offenses
committed on our soil. Congress will sus-
tain the position taken by Secretary Bayard
and the demand made by him upon the
Mexican government for the release OF
Cutting. 1t can hardly be, however, that
the Mexican government will resist on
emphatic demand though the peo
pie of her northern provinces Dor
dering upon us are said to have a very
hostile feeling to the United States and tC
express freely their belief that they car
whip us in fight, even with Texas in
and with Texas out, they consider it Il
small undertaking to combat the rest OF
the United States.
A war with Mexico is one Of the proba
birities of the future but will not naturally
come until the population becomes densel
along the border. The drift of Mexico is
into the grasp of the United States, wher,
she will certainly ultimately come.

The Late DIR. John w. Neyin,

p. s. d. in the Reformed Messenger
In my letter of last week / spoke of nv
earliest recollections of the late DR.. John W.
Nevin and the impressions he made upon
my boyish mind, as genial man. Those
impressions have never been changed, much
less eftaced. ! have seen him when his
ponderous brow was furrowed with thought
and his mind weighed down by his anxiety
to find the truth, until he seemed entirely
absorbed. People thought he was going
wild over German transcendentalism. The
words collective" and subjective" then
sounded strangely to American ears, and
even his friend Dr. Charles Hodge said he
was hunting up Schleermacher's old
Clothes" tor which remark the ven-
cradle Princeton professor received a shot
from a Columbiad. There was a battle
OF giants in those days DR.. Nevin was
always in the front OF the fray and the
clash OF his sword was heard at Oxford, Bonn
and Berlin. Ten thousand armies could not
have driven him from his position, yet his
abstraction was not OF such kind that
he could no be drawn with a hair
down to the common affairs OF every day
lie. he did Eot stay there long, but
those who met him on this lower plane were
Impressed with the fact that he was endowed
with strong common sense and a syInpathet.
&c nature. he was not austere, much less
morCse. No one would have attem pted
undue familiarity with him, and vet he was
very approachabe and always pleasant.

LANCASTER. AUGUST 4. 1886.
Samuel ]. Tilden.

Mr.. Tilden' 8 long looked for death makes
final period to a career that really was
closed years ago by the threatening state of
his health. His character has been so
much canvassed that every one has con-
ception of it, and it hardly needs to con-
slider it now. He had hosts of hot admir-
ers and of hot enemies. The stealing from
him of the presidential seat to which he
was chosen made him the idol of the De-
mocracy, whose cause was his. In truth
It would seem that it might have been
otherwise, since the Democratic party
was cruelty wronged by the loss of the
presidency and might well have held
Mr.. Tilden, as its standard bearer, re-
sponsible for the management which lost
the prize that had once been fairly won.
Mr.. Tilden, however, was not so held by
his party generally. A bolder man nigh
not have been so thrust from hhis place, but
doubtless his party felt that it was largely
to blame itself for the consequence Of the
timidity end compromise of its leaders; and
It took Mr.. Tilden into its affection
as the child of its suffering.
Mr.. Tilden lived very busy life, during
which he accumulated large fortune and
great fame. 1t was in his later years only
that he became a candidate before the
people for office. He was elected governor
Of New York, and, being very wise man,
he could not do else than acquire reputa.
tion and political strength in that con.
spicuous place.
Reform was popular and he became its
apostle. Itreached out to him and lifted him
into the candidacy of the Democratic party
for the presidency. Probably if Mr. Til
den had been in more robust physica
state, he would have been president, since
it is clear enough tnat a man of his saga
city sustained by fair courage and uni
ted party of half the people, would have
had what he won, and Mr.. Tilden's bodily
weakness may we'll account for the con
spicuous lack of boldness which lie
the presidency slip away from him
That weakness, however, never cam
in to lessen the sagacity of his coun
sci, and he has remained among us as tht
Delphic oracle of the day. His loss will b.
felt by his party which has been so won't tc
look to him for counsel and to expect it
from one 80 nearly done with earth, pure
and undefiled by selfish promptings.

The SuhscriptiOn Book.

The publishers of General Grants book
have John Wanamaker & Co. in court for
selling the work without their permission
1t seems, at first sight, odd that they should
complain of anybody for selling thing
that can only be furnished by prior pur-
chase from them; but there is simple
explanation. The publishers of the book,
having monopoly of its sale, desire to sell
it at very large advance upon its cost
The prevalent scheme to secure this, while
selling the largest possible number, is to
cover the country with canvassing agents,
who are given a large commission and
required to sell only at the pub
lisher's price, The scheme has worked
well and the public is successfully
and steadily milked by the book agents
who are all the time prowling around seek
ing whom they may devour. Wise people
have learned to make it rule of their lives
never to buy subscription book, finding
that thereby they save a great deal of
valuable time which the solicitors would
otherwise take up, and that they lose
very little in not getting the books
that are offered them, which are gen.
orally of very little intrinsic value.
They are made up to meet some supposed
to be popular fancy or are well advertised
by the name of a prominent author
Grants book is said to have gone out to
the extent of over three hundred thousand
copies, with net profit to the publisher of
about million dollars, after paying the
canvasser's profit. There is, of course, no
special value in this book, and, save that it
is the work Of General Grant, it has moth.
ing to recommend it to its popularity. The
book of Blaine, which also goes off like hot
cakes, has the same sort of recommenda.
etion and little else beside.
The trouble which the subscription book
publisher has is to maintain this high price
OF his wares while disposiDg of large guam.
titles at heavy discounts to agents all ovel
tne country. He does it successfully only
when the agent respects his contract with
MIN 70 sell only to the consumer. Wanna.
maker, 1t seems, found an agent who was
tempted by the profit on Wholesale trans,
action of five hundred copies To fur,
nish him that number; and as his
contract with the publishers bound him 10
sell eleven thousand copies, it would seem
that he was pardonable for not missing 8
sale of five hundred. Wanamaker a. Co
offered their books to the public at less thar
the subscription price, in the way of ad
vertisement, doubtless, and Webster {
Co., publishers, called them into court
Mr.. Clemens, otherwise Mark Twain, /
one of Webster & Co., having made enoug
money selling worthless books to 60 int

8ss BEATER ANDs sroRs ORDERS.
A Serious Charge Preferred Against the ke'
publican Guberustorial Candidate.


From the Philadelphia Record
A serious charge against General Beaver
the Republican candidate for governor OF
Pennsylvania appeared yesterday In the
columns of the Tunes. As president OF the
Bellefonte Iron and Nail company General
Beaver is sccused of maintaining what the
workingmen in the mining districts of
the state call a "pluck-me store" and Il
Is charged that wages are paid not
in money. but ia orders ON the store for sup
plies. 1t Is admitted 10y some OF General
Beavers friends in Bellefoute that such a
system does prevail at the iron aud nail
works Of which he Is the head but the de-
fense Is made that the employees are not COM
PEELED to take these store orders in payment
Of their wages, and that their acceptance or
rejection Is entirely optional. This answer
Is very lame. Experience has shown that
these work ingmen who refuse TO take store
orders and who demand payment in cash.
are not able to long retain their places.
The act Of 1881, which was passed to protect
workingmen from the extortions of their
employers, positively fOrbids this practice
ana require tnat all lahOrsrs shall be paid in
lawful money No discretion is lodged with
the employer, and none is vested in the EN-
ploye. The legislature interpNsed its au-
thority to break up the entire system ittOuh
that extreme ground to stop evasiOns, and
imposed penalty of slO0 for each otlense.
The distribution of trade coupons by the
belleIODte iron anN y all company, ~ EOOl lpt
face value in trade 10 party holding regis
tered number" is a clear violation OF that
law. By means of such a system an em-
ployer is enabled to rob an employe TO the
extent of from - to 40 per cent OF his wages
by reducing the purchasing power OF his
earnings to that extent Because OF its petty
meanLess it excites the contempt OF all
lovers of fair dealing. In some OF the btu.
minous mining districts IL is claimed by the
| employers that their men are so Tar removed
| from centres of trade that the necessaries OF
| life cannot be obtained by them excepting
through the system of company stores but
| in the Bellet1nte case such an excuse cannot
- made.
General Beaver is travelling in the West and
1t Is not likely that any word will be received
from him for some time. But it is to be hoped
that he will be able TO fully acquit himself OF
any connection with this odious system. He
is one OF the foremost men of the state. He is
respected by intelligent men of both political
parties, and possesses many qualities that
command admiration. But II he should fail
to establish his innocence Of all connection
with the payment of labor in store orders il
would be well for him to retire from public
| life. As candidate he would be dead,
| weight upon the ticket. No man having such
| stain upon him can be elected to a state
| office in PENNSYLVANIA.

How Mrs. Ford. Ward Lives,

In recent interview with reporters who
visited him in his Sing Sing prison, Ferdl-

away several millions OF dollars out of his

life OF Mrs. Ward, who is living there From

and hanging baskets filed with flowers and

wealth which seemed altogether Incompatible
with the small income which Mrs. Ward says
she enjoys. While / stood eying the house
with the curiosity and freedom OF stranger
Mrs. Ward came out the front door and
commenced to water and arrange the plants
IN the swinging baskets on the portico.
she wore dainty morning wrapper OF
foulard silk which, despite its Rowing,
proportions, could not conceal the beau

was cold, Indifferent look on her face and

GEORGE FRIsBIE HoAR has earned for
himself the repute of being one of the lightest
weights that ever represented Massachusetts
in the United States Senate. He piled new
laurels on those already gained for this dis.
tinction in the Senate on Tuesday by drag.
giDg in bloody shirt speech at a time
when he believed no answer could be at.
tempted because of the expiring hours of the
session. There was not enough time to
thoroughly flsy the Bay state senator, but
he received some severe excoriations at the
hands OF Senators Kenna Salisbury and
Eustis. The pretext under which Hoar
gained the floor WAS the advocacy of the
"nstional inquest" absurdity, which provides
for the federal government taking cognizance
OF crimes in which politics are in any way
mingled. 1t is aimed at the South, aud is an
unwarrantable interference with state rights
Even Hoar's party associates could not help
laughing at his futile attempt at sectional
buncombe.
