The Philadelphia Times, referring to
the caucus action of the republican mem
bers Of the Pennsylvania Legislature, says
that ''while the ablest men of the nation
who have to decide the issue in the end
are in doubt as TO the result and as to the
best means of attaining just judgment,
a mob of average Pennsylvania law max
ers resolve that Hayes and Wheeler are
elected, and that if there is any trouble
about it they will hand over their entire
constituents to march into the valley of

SOME enterprising gentlemen, whose bust

lands of the Hudson in search of the treas

branch of trade which has been diligently
pursued in various parts of this country ever

Perhaps some of the members of the present
exploring party, as they wend their weary
way over the hills to the poor house, at the

press the opinion that no reliance can be
placed on pirates. 1t would perhaps be fairer
to say that the pirates of the past who lived
up to the high ideal set before them by the
dime novels of to-day always buried their
chests of gold and diamonds as soon as thew
got them, but that the pirates that lacked
tone spent all their earnings, disdaining to
save anything for rainy day, and the luna
tics of later generation. And of course it
is to be added that with uncommonly rare
exceptions all the pirates of the past lacked
fame

THE conservative position of the Southern
Democrats in the House causes much specu-
lation. But it is easily accounted for. They
have got brains in their heads. They know
that Gov. Hayes is to be President and have
no desire to force needless quarrel with him.
Feeling that he will pursue wise and liberal
policy toward the South, that his earnest
wish is for the pacification of that unhappy
section, they do not propose to commit them
selves against the policy simply to crafty the
Northern braggarts who once led them into
trouble and then deserted them. The posi-
tion of Northern men of ability and conserva-
tive tendencies is not so easily explained.

etts for example is subject for wonder with

THE Shoe and Leather Reporter has these
remarks concerning, its specially, remarks
which apply with much force to nearly every
other branch of manufacturing: With the
market almost bare of stock, and dependent
for supplies on coming receipts, the true
policy is to rest contented till the leather sold
has been worked up and new wants are de-
veloped. 1t is utterly useless to attempt to
force sales, and the urging of merchandise
upon buyers who have no possible use for it
is one of the surest methods of causing de-
preston and checking business. Nothing is
accomplished by it except the defeat of the
object in view, and an injury to all parties
concerned. Already the actual wants of the
manufacturers are making themselves felt in
the market Inquiries are coming from both
Europe and home consumers, and it is plain
we shall not have long to wait for better
business. Some purchases are made from
day to day, and there is every promise of their
increase. But it would be unreasonable to
look for any rush. The prospect is that the
trade will sell in such parcels as manufactur-
ers actually need for immediate use, and ex-
perience teaches that this takes as much
FEATHER in the long run as is disposed of in
these violent spurts.
