A WEAKENING INFLUENCE.

The rather smali-sized straw which was
furnished by the defeat Of the Presidents
party in his own city is given more than
proportionate significance by the explana-
tion of Congressman Thomas Browne, of In
diana. He says that there are L, 2,O00, 900
people in the country eligible for office, and
100000 of them want appointments. In
stead of that they get disappointments.
This, he declares, defeated Cleveland, and
he strongly intimates that it is the trouble
at Indianapolis. But hold on! The very
foundation of the argument for giving offices
to politicians is the assertion that it
strengthens the party, ana is therefore es-
sential to political organization. Yet here
we find one of the politicians declaring that
the disappointment caused in the distribu-
ton ofpatronage defeats the administration.
According to the statements of Mr.. Browne,
the best thing to strengthen party would
be to make it. impossible to distribute the
patronage as a political reward. The true
friends of party organization in that view
must be the hated Mugwumps.

PITTsBURG, MONDAY, OCT. Il, 1859.
TIE LAST WEEK,

The last week of the Exposition opens to-
day with every prospect of terminating the
first effort OF the society with success that
surpasses all expectations, 1t is, of course,
too early to estimate financial results; but
The crowds that have visited the buildings
during the past three weeks, and the attend
ance, which there is every reason to expect
for the next six days, indicate that the re-
turns will be such as to warrant an import
ant increase of the scope and features OF the
Exposition for the future.
Such gratifying result will fully reward
the labors OF the gentlemen who have worked
for years to provide the magnificent build
ings and put the Exposition on an assured
basis. While the response to their efforts
has, at times, seemed so slow as to almost
discourage the friends of the project, the
persistence and energy which carried it for
ward to its present success have been fully
vindicated. The plans for next years Ex-
position can be made with surplus in the
treasury and an assurance of public support
such as will indefinitely enhance the attrac-
tions and public usefulness of the exhibi-
ton.
The last week of the Exposition should be
utilized by Pittsburgers in visiting the show
and seeing what can be done by public
uuion in aiding the managers to spread the
fame and credit of Pittsburg's industries.

PEOPLE OF PROMINENCE.

PRESIDENT ELIOT, of Harvard. has declared
himself Democrat.
Mr.. CLAUS SPREcKELs, the sugar manu-
facturer, has removed most of his personal
property from San Francisco, and will make his
home henceforth at Philadelphia
MRS. AUSTIN CoRBIN, Miss Corbin and more
than score of their friends are making an
autumn tour in the White Mountains. A few
of them are in carriages and the rest of them
on horseback.
MRS. BENJAMIN HARRISON will go to New
York within fortnight to order several recep-

The bronze statue at Vienna of the composer
Schubert, who was short insignificant man,
with coarse features represents gentleman of
great elegance, tall and stately form, seated on
a heap of stones, with his elbow resting on
tree stump and pencil in his hand, as if writ
ing in large book upon his knees. He gazes
into the air with rapt look.
THE announcement comes from the Pacific
coast that ex-senator Fair proposes to take up
his residence in New York, and will probably
secure large house and entertain conspicu-
ously during the coming winter. Miss Tessie
Fair, the Senator's daughter and heiress, has q
wide popularity at the West, and is quoted as
very charming and sensible girl

what is the reason that Western farmer s
can pay for one to two thousand miles of
transportation and cause the entire extinc-
tion of New England farming? 1t certainly
cannot be the building up of factories by
the tariff, for while that may make labor
dearer, it should more than compensate in
the increased demand for farm products
from the farms at the doors of the fac
tories. The summer boarder plea as a reason
why the New England farmer abandons his
farm is rather severe on the summer
boarder; but its alleged profits certainly do
not explain the unoccupied lands in the
Eastern States.
The fact is that the explanation is one to
which people generally close their eyes.
While the farms of New England, New
York and Pennsylvania are at the very
doors of factories and mills, and within two
to four hundred miles of the seaboard, the
policy OF railroad rates is to take away that
advantage, and place them as far or farther
away than the Northwestern farmer, in the
matter Of freight charges. The much be-
rated long and short haul clause of the
Interstate Commerce Law, checks this prac-
tice to the extent of forbidding the railroads
to put the Pennsylvania farmer farther
away from the seaports than the Kansas
farmer; but as one is charged as much as the
other, the latter has all the benefit of cheap
and rich lands, while the latter is deprived
of his legitimate advantage of locality.
The subject is a difficult one; but it is
well to see Its actual presence and recognize
the results inevitably involved, when it is
thrust in our faces.

To slothful twilight slowly sinks the day.
And even after night her curtain drops,

And lights again the blazing maple tops,
With sparks that from his fiery fetlocksfy.
And when the mighty god of day doth soar,
On radiant wings above the Eastern hills,
Then comes the sparkling fow OF light once more,
And all creation with its brightness Nils.
'Tis in this ambient food Of russet light
October rules, in somber mien. the day;
A holy calm that follows through the night
Her consultations as they tread their way.
The lowly cricket chirps in peaceful bliss
Upon the hearthstone warming into ife;
The happy child delays Its bedtime kiss;
Through heightened evening knits the good

ABANDONED EASTERN FARMS.

With regard to the abandonment of New
England farms, which is becoming rather
prominent subject of discussion, the Phila-
deIphia Press offers the following explana-
ton:
The causes which have led to this wholesale
abandonment of New England farm lands are
easily stated. The first is the ease with which
the rich pra1rle lands of the West could be ac-
quired and their greater productiveness. A
steady stream of emigrants has gone out from
New England to build up the great Northwest
and make its progress the marvel of the nine
teenth century. Another cause is the tariff
which has built up the manufacturing indus
tries of New England and drawn TO the towns
much of the young blood of the farms. This
has made farm help dear and rendered it i'm
possible for the Vermont and New Hampshire
farmer with sterile soil to compete with the
products of the Minnesota and Dakota farmers.
Still another cause is the summer boarding
business, which has proved more profitable
than the old methods of farming.
This explanation commits the logical er-
ror of contounding effect with cause in the
first point and of alleging totally inadequate
causes in the other two. The emigration
from New England farms, when the latter
are totally abandoned, is simply due to the
fact that Western profits are greater. But

REFORM IN SLOT MACHINES.

We are pleased to observe that steps are
being taken to arrest the slot machine in its
mad and criminal career. At the first in
stitution of these novel contrivances they
appeared to be beneficial as well as unique
invention. The ability to deposit your
nickel in the slot and get what you expect,
without being talked to death bv an urbane
clerk, who insists on selling you what you
do not want, or without having to miss your
train while waiting for the article to be
wrapped, docketed, the change made, and
the whole thing returned by cash railway
with hieroglyphically marked slip, took
the guise of boon to q long-sufering
humanity.
But the slot machine soon evinced dis
position to develop the worst features of
commercial immortality. A machine which
calmly receives your coined money and then
stolidly omits to disclose your weight or
shell out dime novel, is doing little better
than obtaining money under false pretenses.
Even when it makes pretense of fulfilling
the contract, but in lieu of a glass of cold
water gives you a draft about the temperature
OF lukewarm tea, or informs you that you
weigh two tons and a half-whieh is q man.
ilest libel-the beguiling mechanism is en-
gagged in no more honest business than the
stock waterer who sells the public millions
of dollars worth of stock on hundreds of
thousands worth of property. The simili-
tude is not decreased by the fact that it is
impossible to put the slot machine at max
ing barrels in the workhouse or mats at the
penitentiary.
1t is therefore with great pleasure that we
note reform in slot machines An En-
glish inventor has devised one which, when
its internal economy is out of order, will
honestly reject the coin and roll it out at
the bottom. This is a disposition toward
honesty in slot machines which we COM
mend to the emulation of more animate and
q good deal bigger business agencies.

SHOULD NOT BE ABANDONED.

The discontinuance of the Signal Service
stations at the headwaters of the rivers in
this section is q step which can only be
satisfactorily explained by complete
ignorance on the part of the authorities,
concerning the importance to river COM
merce of early and accurate information of
the state of the river at those points. Not
only the preparations to ship hundreds of
thousands of tons of freight, but the safety
OF the coal ready for shipment often de-
pends on the warnings of rising wster which
come from those stations. OF course, if the
Government discontinues the service, the
rivermen will be obliged to find some means
of maintaining it at their own expense. But
it is hardly creditable that rich Govern
ment like ours should abandon a service of
such importance after having undertaken
it If it does so, the inquiry will inevitably
be made as to the nature of the extraordinary
expenditures which have exhausted the ap-
preparations before half of the fiscal year
mas expired.

CONTRASTS IN INTEREST RATES.

An example of the discrepancies which
appear in the rates for loans, even between
localities very close to each other, is fur
nished by the report that the building and
loan associations at Johnstown find the de-
mand for loans so great that they are selling
their money at 28 per cent premium in addi-
tion to the regular interest At the same
time the similar societies at Pittsburg and
Philadelphia find it hard to get any premium
at all; while frstclass mortgages in both
cities are negotiable at per cent or less.
Of course there is some difference in the
security of the high-rate loans at Johnstown
and the 4 or 8 per cent mortgages in the
cities near to it But the marked difference
between the building society rates is un-
doubtedly due to the very great excess of
demand at Johnstown. But this brings out
a popularity in the money market, as dis
tinguished from markets for mercantile
commodities. If an especial demand for
grain or iron springs up at any
one place, so as to enhance the
price, the supply from other
markets flows in so quickly that the only
permanent difference in prices. is the cost
of taking the staple from the supplying
markets to the points of distribution. But
the cost of transferring money from one
point to another is almost infnitesimal; yet
we have constantly such contrasts pre-
sented as that between the rates for secured
loans at Johnstown and those at Pittsburg, or
Philadelphia, as well as that between mort
cages at the East and at the West.
Experience with the latter suggests the
fact that the reason for these differences is
the difficulty of exact and personal informa-
tion for the lender, as to the character of the
property on which the loan is to be secured.
Nevertheless it ought to be possible for
modern ingenuity to overcome the diff
Guilty. In a case like that at Johnstown,
for example Pittsburg and Philadelphia,
capital ought to be able to find some means
of making loans to assist in rebuilding
the town. with full assurance as to the Sc
curity of the loans. 1t would be both for
the advantage of borrower and lender, to
have the rates which the latter is paying re-
duced and those which the former is getting
advanced.
That single case illustrates need of our
financial system. The device which will
bring together borrower and lender, from
different parts of the country, so that the
former shall be assured of his security,
and the latter obtain the advantage of lower
interest rates, will be great gain to both.
