The County CanNeniinn.

The proceedings of the Democratic dis
trict and county conventions to-day were
invested with much interest and the del.
egates did their work harmoniously, eff
ciently and intelligently. They selected as
good delegation to the state convention
as ever represented the local party organl-
cation in such a capacity; men who know
their own minds and who will act for the best
interests of the whole party in the conven-
tion, appreciating the responsibility of their
representative position. The members of
the state committee chosen are active re-
preventative Democrats from the county,
who will give great aid to the thorough
organization of the party. The county
ticket bears the names of we'll known Dem.
ocrats and, though it is not likely to be
elected, its nominees would ill the posi-
tions TO which they are named with credit.
The Republicans who profess admiration
and gratitude for the soldier will have an
fine opportunity to support
gallant soldier, a gentleman and scholar,
in the Democratic nominee for Congress.

A Retter Reason.

The friends of the oleomargarine tax
law profess to be hopeful that the president
will sign their bill, because it has been re.
ferred to the attorney general for an
opinion of its constitutionalty, and Mr.
Garland, an old Whig, with rather liberia
ideas of governmental powers, is said not
to be regarded as strict constructionist
1t is altogether likely Mr.. Garland will
answer the bill is constitutional it is
within the power of Congress to lay tax
on any article for revenue purposes, butter
as well as oleomargarine. The case is
different in form from bill avowedly to
suppress or prohibit one industry for the
benefit Of another and the congressman
who knew the distinction recognized il
when they named this bill and expressly
sought to evade it.
There is better reason than its possibl,
mconstitutionality for the president tc
veto it. This is that it is a fraud, in pre-
tending to be what it is not. Although
called revenue bill, at every point of the
debate in either House, it was undisguised
that its real purpose was to suppress an
existing industry, to drive it out of compe
titiOn with the dairy. No matter what its
shape or falsely pretended design, this i:
the real thing ; and for this it should bt
killed, no matter what Mr.. Cleyeland's law
officer says or thinks about it.

GRAVEYARD Whi>tling.

1t is yet to be explained wherein Beaver
is stronger than he was in 1SS2. Then a
very considerable and Clamorous portion of
his party boldly bolted his nomination and
secured his defeat by over 10000 plurality.
He has done nothing since to rehabititate
himself in popular confidence. To the ex-
tent that he has forsworn the Stalwart ele-
ment of his party and drawn to himself
Independent sympathy, he has alenated
the only vital and aggressive political sup
port he ever had. Mr.. Cooper's boasts and
Mr.. Quay's bluff are no more vigorous and
probably less sincere than they were four
years ago, when the same gentlemen were
in charge rs now. They crowed and
Dragged until several months of desperate
effort ended in dismal defeat. Their
whistling now has graveyard sound.

LANCAsTER. JULY es, 1856.
The Railroad Land Grants.

It is q hopeful sign that even in the clos
ing days of the session and amid the mad
struggled jostling measures for precedence
the House took up and passed the bill for.
feiting the Northern Pacific railroad grant.
The forfeiture runs against all the lands
unearned prior to July 4, 1879, which in
cludes the alternate sections for distance
of forty miles on each side of the road bed
west of Bismarck, Dakota, to Portland,
Oregon. Since the wholesale and lavish
grants of the public lands by Congress be-
tween 1851 and 1S75-for not an acre has
been given since the Democrats got con-
troll of the House-a vast change of the
public mind has been experienced upon
this subject; and the shameful misuse of
the governments bounty has come to
be understood and appreciated. The
building of the Pacific railroads, beneficent
as they were from one point of view, were
the fruitful source of great deal of shame
and scandal. The government WIS not
only pillaged with high hand at the outset,
but they have persistently ignored their
obligations ever since and have left nothing
nnAttempted in law and in the lobby to
evade the payment of their just debts.
The land that was given is given; and
there is no disposition to break any faith
that was plighted or annul any contract
that was made; but grants that were given
on stipulations never performed by the cor
porations, along lines never built, upon
conditions never discharged, and long since
forfeited in law, are to be forfeited in fact,
unless the Senate, as its wont, stands in the
way.
The issue is well made up. The House
has put itself on the right side, and if the
upper branch asserts itself against the will
of the people its members will suffer more
than deserved reprOach.

THREE hundred crofters under arms defy
the power OF Britain.

DESPITE the increase OF population there il
decided abatement in this country of the
venerable old practice Of snufi-taking. Of to-
bacco in the form of snuff 1871 pounds less
were used last year than the year before. But
the consumption Of manu- factured tobacco
for smoking and chewing, increased lLOln-
5'4 pounds, reaching l9l, ,023, 663 pounds, or
322 pounds per capita, which is considerably
IN excess OF the consumption in any previous
year. Prior to 1870 the quantity consumed
was from to pounds in ls7Oit rose to , s.
and until 1879 averaged about =. 80 then it
rose in 1850 to 2.75, i'll lSs2 to 3O6, and has
been above pounds ever since But the in
crease in this form OF tobacco would have
been greater but Tor the increase Ia the con-
sumption of cigars and cigarettes.
The number OF cigars consumed increased d
last year l5l,"25, $50, making a total consump.
ton OF 3,5l0,32, ,539, or 59.2 per capita Just
twenty years ago the consumption was 10
yearly; in 1870 1t rose TO 80 ; in 1873 to 4S.a.
and then declined a little with the hard times
10 4oo In 1873 but in 1851 it rose TO 81 6,
reaching bl.5 in 1854, and declined to 5S2 in
1883, but has now risen again to 59.2 Thus
the consumption is a shade lower than the
greatest yet recorded, and there is some
reason to doubt whether this small decrease
betokens the pressure of hard times because
the consumption of cigarettes has greatly in
creased. Last year alone the increase WAS
2522,2 ,2l2, liz, or about % per cent, making
,3!O,556,5l2 in all, or %. per capita In 1855
there was small consumption, but practi.
cally none officially recorded in the wears
ls66-ls69. In $50 it rose to A per capita, in
1870 to % per capita, and i'll 1876, lust ten
years ago, rose to IL per capita But that
was only the beginning +; in 1850 it had risen
10 81 per capita, in 1884 to l6 /, in 1885 to Is
and now averages % l per capita.
