Even the National Republican can
sometimes hit the nail on the head if it
tries pretty hard. Recently Balti-
more paper in noting a shipment Of gold
abroad uttered the following shrek !:
"And still. goes on the coinage Of
two million silver dollars per month,
worth seventy-nine cents each, and
Congress has evidently determined to
do nothing to stop it,"
To this the Republican replies
"Thc silver dollars are worth one
hundred cents apiece in Washington.
Their coinage has no more to do with
these exports of gold than the price Of
peanuts in Tennessee has with the
growth of elephants in Africa. The
opponents of silver are not fools, but
they assume idiocy on the part of their
readers.n

the Vermont Yankee was dealing with
aman who knows what are his rights
under the Constitution, and rcckoned
without his hoss--a bad way to cast up
accounts. Mr.. CLEVELAND took the
hint at once. He saw through the
scheme Of the willy EDMUNps, and in-
formed him that he tlhe Pfes'denD
would send in no such papers as the
Senate demanded, either in the DUSTIN
case or any other. He knew that the
first false step could mover be resraced,
and so, as Mr.. LINCOLN used to say,
put his foot down" on Mr.. Ed.

On Wednesday Mr.. BECK explained
ths DUSTIN case to the satisfaction Of
everybody. 1t appears clear that Mr..
EDMUHDs asked for the papers in this
case because he shrewdly calculated
that in such q case the President, hav-
ing the best Of reasons for suspendiug
tho officer, would, without thinking Of
the results that might follow such
course, send TO the Senate all the pa.
pers bearing upon tbs case, and thereby
commit himself to the policy Of send
ing in papers In other cases whsn-
ever demanded By the Senate. But

THE most important case that has
ever been considered by the Board of
PardoIs of this State will come up for
consideration at its next meeting, which
will take place on Tuesday next. 1t is
that of Milton Weston, wealthy citi-
zen of Chicago, who was interested in
the Murraysville, WestmoIelsnd cOun-
ty, natural gas wells, where bloody
riot occurred a couple OF years ago be-
tween rival claimants to the property
and their employees, resulting in the
death of man named HaymakeT. for
whose murder Weston was indicted in
WestmOreland county and upon being
subsequently tried in Allegheny county,
the case having been removed to that
Jurisdiction, was convicted of man.
slaughter, and is now serving term in
the Western Penitentiary. Petitions
will be laid before the Board asking for
Weston's release signed by the Cover
nors of Illinois and Iowa, all the Con-
gressmen and United States Senator;
from the former State, hundreds of the
leading business men of Chicago, foul
congressman from Pennsylvania, the
Mayors of Pittsburg and Allegheny, th'
Sheriff of Allegheny county, and the en-
tire Jury 10y whom the case was tried
Eminent counsel from Chicago, Pitts
burg and Philadelphia will be presen. a
the hearing.

THE House of Representatives passed
a labor arbitration bill on Saturday by
the de cisive vote of 1876 yeas to 20 nays.
1t cannot be doubted that the principle OF
arbitration is the correct method OF ad-
justing the numerous labor disputes that
are of constant recurrence throughout
the country. 1t affords all the parties to
the controversy fair and equal show,
and if entered into with an honest puT-
pose to arrive at Just and equitable con-
competent and upright men ought TO be
conclusive. This bill, however, seems
to be of very little account. Employees
and employers can now do the very
thing that the proposed bill will enable
them to do. 1t is the simplest thing in
the world for Congress to pass an act
providing for arbitration when both
| parties are willing to aTbitTate. What
is wanted, however, is law that will
make the parties willing, and that will
provide for carrying the award of the
aTbitTatOTs into effect. II statesman
can be found who is able to frame sucf
an act, all men will rise up and call hin
blessed. The only merit in the pIesen
bill consists in the fact that it is al ex
preston by Congress in favor of tn
principle of arbitration. 1t thereb
carries with it a moral force, evel
though 1t may not exert any practica
effect. and to that extent its passag
may hare a beneficial tendency.

regret and expostulation that successive
legislatures have failed to enact such gen

and urging voters to support those can

CONGRESSMAN A. T.. WHITE, of this
State, who resides in Breokville, has in
troduced bill into the House provid-
ing for the survey of route for ship
canal from somewhere in Venango
county TO Lake Erie, the canal to be Of
sufficient depth and width to accommo-
date vessels in transporting iron ore and
other freight between the lake mention
ed and the Allegheny river. This is one
of the many visionary and useless
schemes that are regularly foisted upon
the House for the purpose Of squander-
dering millions of the public money and
getting the name of it's protector into
the newspapers and establishing his
claim to profound and faT-seeing states
| manship. Whites proposed canal, like
| the famous project of Harry White
/ when he represented the same dis
trict, to slackwater the Kiskiminetas
| and COnemaugh rivers, would, OF
course, benefit the people along its line
while it was being constructed, but like
the slackwater hunbug it would be {
fraud and swindle upon the treasury
and therefore upon the people of thr
whole country. The day for construct
ing State canals by the National Gov
ernment has passed away. Reverthe
less, as two Congressman from tn
Twenty-fifth district by the name o
, White have shown their hands on th
subject of river and canal Improvement
) by the general Government, in North
western Pennsylvania. it would seem t
? be the proper thing to do to retire tn
t present White at the end of this Cor
