very poor in come localities. There was

Railroads and Discrimination.

1t is an ancient truism that our best
friends are those who tell us our faults,
and, therefore, no exceptions can be taken
to the extracts, elsewhere printed from a
mastery paper by Prof. Richard L. Ely,
on the subject of the economic evils of
American railroads. They show up the
latter in style by no means pleasing, for
most Americans are accustomed TO think
that nothing can be learned by them ON
any subject from their kinsmen beyond the
SEA.
But the sober facts are as Professor Ely
presents them, and it beco mes those who
want TO know things in their true light to
examine and see if his conclusions are based
on sound premises. In particular, !atten-
tiCn is directed 10 the references on freight
discrimination. This is one of the great
questions that is going to be decided at
the polls this coming November, and it is
proper for every man to get all the infor.
nation possible to enable him to vote in.
telligently on the subject. The more he
considers it, the more he will agree that the
Democratic platform in this regard is un-
assailable.

THE Bulgarian crisis may vet involve
sseyeral OF the great powers in a war, for
every thing now appears to depend on the

appear inevitable. The comparative apathy

Local Child Labor.

The announcement in the INTELLIGEN-
GER last evening that local committee of
an assembly of the Knights of Labor had
served notice upon several prominent
cigar manufacturers not to employ child
labor after August 81, has created great
deal of discussion in Lancaster's indus
trial circles. If this action shall be gener-
ally inaugurated through the city, as is
promised, it will have far reaching ef-
feet on many city homes.
1t Is said that many Of the most aggres-
sive members of the local Knights have
children under fourteen years of age con-
Gibuting TO the earnings of the family.
With these, the decision of this question
wil We by no means light matter Their

BIaIne,s MaInc Speech.


Blaine has delivered a speech at Sebago
Lake, Maine, which was sent throughout
the whole country by careful prearrange-
ment II is plain notice to all whom it
may concern that the "plumed knight is
q Republican candidate for the presidency
in 1855. While it was pretty generally sup.
posed that he was willing to again lead the
forlorn Republican hope, there was not
that certainty about it which may be gath,
cred from Mr.. Blaine's most recent forsen-
sic effort.
The speech is just such one as might be
expected from Blaine at the present juno.
ture. It breaches the glories of protection and
the dangers Of free trade in that fossil-like
style which win he recalled as one of the
lesding features Of the campaign of 1ssi.
On the labor question that mouldy chest
nut Of the low wages 10 colored workers in,
the South depressing the wages of the.
Northern workingman is presented with
ali of its old-time flavor. On the fishery,
question Mr.. Blaine's remarks have spe-
ciai interest, for they represent subject
that is Of absorbing interest to his constit-
uents. But until the full correspondence
on this subject is published, no one posses.
ses enough material on which to found az
safe conclusion. In relation TO the Cut
ting episode, he says nothing of conse;
quence. 4
Mr.. Blaine has evidently heard the muir,
murs in the air that the Prohibitionists are
going to scuttle the Republican ship, and
he proceeds to handle these " third party I,
men without gloves. With biting sarcasm
he says; The position and platform of
the third party might in fact be thus abbre-
waited Whereas the Republican party of
Maine enacted a prohibitory law thirty
years ago, and has since amended it as a
majority of the friends of temperance de-
msnded, and has in consequence advanced
Maine il all matters of temperance quar-
ter of century ahead of the license states !;
therefore, be II resolved that we, members
of a third party of Prohibitionists, will 50
vote as to defeat the Republican party and
turn the government of Maine over to the
Democrats, who have through all these
years opposed prohibition by every instru-
mentality in their power.
On the whole it is quite an entertaining
speech, and the Democrats can enjoy its
well-rounded periods and incisive language
alike with their Republican brethren. For
to the Democracy it presents the admitted
fact that the dying Republican party has
not one live issue ON which to go before the
people
