PORCINE POLITICS.

A very striking illustration of the dispo-
sition of political disputants to appeal to
the lowest motives, in order to injure their
political opponents, is urnished by an at
Tx which the Democratic papers of Phila-
denh hhia are making upon the four Republi-
can ongressmen of that city. The indict-
mend against the Philadelphia Congressman
consisN of the damning fact that the repre-
seutatipes of Philadelphia have only sue
ceeded in,getting an appropriation ol $780,
900 for the League Island navy-yard!
As every reader of The DISPATCH
knows, there are abundant grounds of criti-
cism of the Republican party by Demo-
cratic organs with which we could heartily
agree. In the State campaign, especially,
the issues of making the principles and re-
quirements of the Constitution effective
against the corporations which have so
far successfully nullifed them; of admins
tration of the Government by men whose
past records can successfully challenge in
vestigation; and the protection of popular
interests against the encroachment of mon
opolies are issues on which the Democratic
press might effectively open their heaviest
artillery. In national politics the support
bY the Republican Congressman of the most
extravagant appropriations; their votes to
unseat political opponents confessedly at
party dictation, and their denial of the lib
erty of intelligent debate are equally vital
points of criticism. With these questions,
involving the welfare OF the whole people,
the preservation of the Government from
financial complications if not absolute bank
ruptcy, and the maintenance of constitu-
tional principles, it is a marked indication
of the tendency to descend to pettiness, in
practical politics, that the Democratic press
of PHILADELPHIA should take to throwing
stones at the Republican Congressman that
city solely and exclusively for the reason
that they have not got enough of the pork.
The shalIowness of this sort of politics is
apparent rom the readiness with which it
can be turned the other way. -Four terms
of Congress previous to this were controlled
by Democratic majority, and in most of
them Democratic Congressman rom Phil
adelphia was Chairman Of the Committee
of Appropriations. 1t is just as easy to as
sail Samuel j. Randall for the fact that
League Island has not had its share Of the

The New York World, which utters a
good many plain truths, occasionally varies that
praiseworthy practice by giving vent to its i'm
agination, as follows: I'VE have the authority
of Carnegie, Phipps Co., for instance, that
ironworkers' wages in Europe have recently
increased II per cent At the same time the
Pittsburg iron and steel workers are complain
ing of low wages" 1t would be interesting to
learn where and how this complaint of low
wages has been made. The scale of wages for
iron and steel workers in Pittsburg are those
made up by the organization Of the men them
selves and accepted by the manufacturers
When the men are getting the wages they ask
for, it takes a long distance telescope from the
office of the esteemed World to discover the
ground of complaint.

Tho Georgia Governor Proposes Retaliation
for the Federal Election Bill.
NEW YORK, JuIy32-The following commu-
nication from the Governor of Georgia is
printed here to-day:
= am in entire accord with the spirit, tone and
practical suggestions of the Atlanta Constitution
as to the use of the boycott as means of self
preservation and commercial independence II the
useless and infamous Force bill becomes law.
Moreover that spirit will possess and control ap-
rroximately every white man., woman and child
in the Southern States. 1t maybe permissible to
make personal allusion in illustrating the effect
of such legislation upon our people have
labored constantly and earnestly since the 9th
day of April, 1866. in public and private, at the
South and the North, to allay passion ana pro-
mote unity. tMy highest political ambition has
been to be instrumental In some degree IN restor-
ing the real brotherhood of the people ana the
true sisterhood of the States. Ever since this
sectional and shameful legislation has passed the
House have sought to cheer our people with the
hope that some of the Republican Senators would
be found patriotic enough, broad and brave
enough, to prefer the well being of the country
to party ascendancy. 1 still hope SO. and that
popular demonstrations at the North will uphold
their hands and give them courage to denounce
this effort to destroy the freedom Of election un-
der the dishonest pretense OF securing an ''honest
count.n But If this hope is not to be realized,
and the Force bill becomes law, shall use
whatever influence and ability 1 may possess to
arouse the Southern people to the necessity of
looking only to their own exhaustless re-
sources. We will still welcome to our section
and homes all our countrymen of the North, who
may wish to live among US, and we will still pro-
tect all their investments and rights of property
by impartial laws and honest courts; but we shall
counsel return to the old system of the selection
of Representatives by general ticket If need De-
or resort to any lawful, peaceful means, in order
to protect the right of choosing Representatives
and to resist the wrong of having them chosen Tor
us by Fedora supervisors.
''We will still endeavor to keep peace and pro-
mote good will between the races and sincerely
hope the Southern negroes will not destroy their
prosperity by consorting with those whose mad
policy threatens the well-being of both races. We
shall still nope that after these years OF apparent
reconciliation and of restored confluence we shall
not see the whole current of national sentiment
turned backward and downward by sectional
legislation which has no possible justification or
rational excuse. j. b. GORDON.

Excellent Representation OF ST. AIoysius.
An excellent executed and lifelike statue of
st. Aloysius has just been received at st.

cost of Sl75. raised bv subscription in the
parish. The statue is 81 feet high and wrought
out of one block of wood.
The Saint is habited in the black habit of the

highly artistic manner in which the work is
done has attracted much attention in the
suburb.

ONE of the noticeable and yet universal

ONE of the noticeable and yet universal
features of current politics is the way in which
Republican newspapers are condemning the
Farmers Alliance movement in Nebraska and
Minnesota, while praising it in Alabama and
South Carolina, and the equal unanimity of the
Democratic press IN frowning upon it in the
Southern States and declaring that in the
Western Republican states it is result OF
disgust with the evident trucking to monop-
oily" of the Republicans. This is equally true
of the movement North and South; but the
different ways in which it is looked at, accord
ing to its locality, is a proof not only that it
makes great difference when our toes are trod
on, but also that it is an entirely separate mat
ter If our enemy's corns are pinched.

BIG BASKET PICNICs.

CoIored People Enjoy Themselves Yesterday
md To-day Mt Rock Point.
A train of fourteen cars filled with excur-
sionists came in at Union Station at 8 o'clock
last night. They were the Sunday school and
congregation Of the Colored Baptist Church at
East Liberty, who had spent the day at Rock
Point. Everything passed off pleasantly at the
picnic.
To-day another very large colored picnic re-
quiring two sections in the. train, will go to the
same place. Conductor Nathan Tyler will
have charge of this excursion, as a committee
of the congregation made a special request
that he be placed in charge as he is very
popular among the colored people, especially
the ladies, for his gallantry on former occa-
Sions.

FREE TICKETS as HIS RIGHT.
Novel Suit of nm Ohio Man Agninst a Street

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DTsPATcH..
CLEVELAND, July 22-One OF the most
peculiar cases in the history of Ohio litigation
was begun in the Common Pleas Court of Sum-
init county, at Akron. few days ago. The
plaintiff is Nathan. Morse, one of the best
known attorneys in Akron. and the defendant
is the Akron Street Railway Company. Morse
sues for equitable relief or an injunction. His
petition states that he is a stockholder in the
street railway company in question and de-
clared that it is customary for such companies
to issue free tickets to their stockholders, and
that he has received none.
The plaintiff therefore, asks that the Court
compel the street railway 'pany to issue him
complimentary tickets in such quantities as he
may need for his own use. or that it be forever
enjoined from issuing any free tickets to any
persons whatever. II Is doubtless the first case
on record of an attempt to force company to
issue passes by the mandate of the Court
