We are glad to see prospect for uni
ted action in favor of modification OF
the tariff, so far as it affects our west
ern interests. The tariff as it now
stands Ia a great and unnecessary bur-
den upon the industry of this coast.
Pennsylvania and New England, by
united and untiring effort have always
succeeded in building up and fostering
their manufactures at the expense of
the whole country, and 1t Is time that
ether localities look out for their own
particular interests.


The Mississippi valley States are
gradually waking up to the fact that
they have been imposed upon. The
Pacific States should be ready TO act
with them for such changes are de-
manded by tho common good, and
with such an accession, the free trade
column will be strong enough to over
come the scheming monopolists who
have 30 long laid the farmers of the
west under contribution. And while
our Granger friends are so busy fight
ing monopolies, IL would be a good
idea TO give some attention to the
greatest of all monopolies, high tar
III for class protection. The tariff falls
1n California farmers with crushing
weight. The tax on jute and bagging
alone abstracts a heavy sum from their
earnings every year. Over 100000
grain bags are used in a single year,
and the number is increasing. Not
only is q tax levied on the new bags,
but after being filed with wheat and
exported, the old bags must again go
through the Custom House and pay
duty. Tho people Of the State feel this
burden and desire its removal. The
only way to accomplish such a reform
is to follow the example of New Eng
land, and work for the desired end in
season and out of season, subordina-
ting ell other matters to this import
object, and smothering all minor quar-
yels which impair our strength and
Influence.

Governor Booth stands to-day the
beading figure in the popular move
ment. Whatever doubts there may
have been about his craftsmanship,
his Platt's Hall speech dispelled them.
His bold and vigorous speeches during
the whole campaign were succession
oftriumphs in what seemed to old pol
iticians q desperate cause. He gave
form and shape to the Peoples reform
movement, which led to the triumph
Of McKinstry. He had u conscious
regard for the public welfare that in
clined him to break his party chains
for the public good. His resolute will
and high purpose carried him to the
front Of the contest. His logic con-
vinced and his eloquence captivated
the people. He created, organized and
led. He went to the people with a
sincere open heart. He was earnest
in their cause and pointed out the rem
edy for their wrongs. They believe
in him, love bim, bet on him, and
swear by him. We pity the members
who cannot recognize his status in the
public mind. Woe to the Democrats
and Republicans who undertake to
barter together to defeat him. The
people have had enough Of treachery,
of political combination and trading
for Office. The Democrat who is not
willing under these circumstances to
unite on Booth for the long term and
on an honest man of his own party for
The short term, Is weak in judgment
OF unsound in principle. The people
are watching this contest. The Gram
gers are looking on. No factious fight,
for q long period, with view ofpost-
poning the election will be tolerated.
The people are rising, speaking and
acting in their majesty, and he who
does not heed the peoples voice in this
matter had better never return to his
constituency, be itin what county it
may.


Governor Booths recent message
has more than ever proved high quail
ifications for the high position. 1t is
a State paper Of unsurpassed force,
ability and clcarness.

EVENING SESSION.


The exercises commenced bs singing
ssThe Bright Foreyermorc, aud prayer BY
Rev G. 7. Stern. The subject, 'sBring
Children to the Sunday School, was next
in order and the last on the programme.
It was introduced by Rev A. Lackey.
He said that this was the last silbject for
debate, but in his estimation not the least,
and every inducement should be offered to
bring children to the Sabbath School, as
it was the hope Of the church. The Su-
perintendent should be a pious man, friendl
" to the children, and should have sun
shine ON his face and Christ in his heart
Good and religious papers should be offered
the children as an inducement, and he
would pray to God that the time win shortly
come when every child in the land will be
brought into the Sunday School to receive
religious instructions. Rev. r. b. Raber
said that we must not be afraid to spend a
few cents to bring children to the Sunday
School. He had given freely toward the
cause and God had always given it back
to him. Mr. II. Stefey, said that he did
not think man could have Christ in his
heart and not be worker in the Sabbath
School cause Mr. Knipp said that we
should make our Sunday School room as
attractive as possible, and have committees
to visit the children at ther homes. The
subject here closed, and the report Of the
committee on resolutions was received and
approved. They resolved to adopt the
temperance principle, try to convert the
children and bring them into the church
at an early age, and vote of thanks was
extended TO the people Of Manchester and
vicinity for the kindness shown to them
during their stay in Manchester, also a
vote of thanks to the Hanover Branch
Railroad for free return tickets. The
convention then adjourned sine die by
singing "All Hail the power of Jesus

SAD ACCIDENT AT PoRT HENRY.-A
sad and probably fatal accident occurred
at Port Henry on Wednesday morning.
A man named Mccormick, laborer in
the mines at Mineville and resident of
Saranac, n. Y, in getting off the engine
on which he rode from Mineville, slipped
and fell on the opposite track, directly
before an approaching engine, which
passed over one foot, and a leg, above
the knee, crushing both to jelly. He
was also bruised considerably about the
head. He was Immediately removed on

TERRIBLE CASUALTY George, only
son of Frank Mead of Elmore, aged ten
years, was found dead by his mother,
April 10th, about three o'clock in the
afternoon, hanging by the neck. He
had, for some trif1ing offense been sent
from the table and directed to go up
stairs, which he very readily did. His
mother saw him sitting very composedly
on the stairs soon after he left the table.
Mrs. George White, who lives in the
same house, says she distinctly heard
him walking and singing not moro than
ten minutes before he was found dead.
There was rope attached to the rail
ing which hung down about midway of
of the stairs, with loop in the end
large enough to pass over his head, with
which the children were accustomed to
play When found, the loop was around
his neck, his feet on the stair, and his
back to the wall as though he was alive.
1t is probable that in his playfulness he
had slipped the loop over his head and
by some means lost his balance, and did
not rest his feet upon the stair until con-
sciousness was so far gone that he was
unable to extricate himself.

ANOTHER DIsGRACEFUL AFFAIR IN ST.
ALBANs. The Messenger says that an
other of those ''social Irregularities,
which are becoming too disgracefully
frequens, occurred in a tenement on La
selle street one night last week. Peter
Tatro, freight conductor, suspected his
wife's marital fidelity, and so left home
one evening ostensibly to 90 to st. Johns;
he concluded not to go. Returning to
his house at midnight, he discovered
that somebody had been there since he
had been gone + in fact, that one Charles
Devereaux had violated one of the ten
commandments, and so the aggravated
husband proceeded to administer to him
a severe castigation. Devereaux man
aged to escape, ran TO the office OF the
Chief of Police, and the result was that
Tatro was arrested, and the next day
was brought before the Municipal Court
ON complaint of assault and battery.
But the complainant did not appear. and
his whereabouts are at present unknown.

Though deeply affected by the dreadful
suspense she is now undergoing, the wife Of
Marshal Bazaine does not lose courage.
She deems her husband entirely innocent,
and asserts that the Marshal must be ac-
quilted. This lady, now about twenty five
years Of age, is very handsome, and very
much devoted to her husband. She is a
Mexican by birth, and brought the Marshal
an enormous fortune. She now resides at
Versailles with her two children, in q very
retired manner. her only occupation being
to visit the Marshal and make daily appeals
to all such ~ she supposes may be Of service
to him. She makes SO light Of the charges
as to greatly encourage the Marshal, who,
for sometime after her visit writes less and
remains more quiet. She talks to the Mar
shal Of his approaching acquittal-of their
immediate departure for Pan-a watering
place the Marcclalc much likes, and assures
him that, in the society Of his children and
her own, he will soon forget the grief Of the
trial and his captivity. La Marechale is very
pious. She is devoted Catholic, and in
sists uponf frequently holding religious con-
verse with her husband. Since the COM
mencemcnt Of the trial she has very dill
gently read all the newspapers, and endeav-
ors to keep from the sight Of her husband all
comments on the part Of the press which
she thinks would be likely to discourage or
pain him.

wise you to look into these things, not
with an entirely selfish mien, but with
candor and carefulness. Let me appeal
to you to take such political action as
will insure an early and thorough exam
ination of these questions in our State
and National councils.


To the end that all our interests shall
be. we'll and properly guarded, it is i'm
perative that education should advance
in like ratio with our material progress.
high order of schools should be tostered
and maintained, and the character of ed
ucation must be co-extensive with the
demands of the day. In the new rela-
tions of society, merely to read and keep
accounts is not enough. The simple ele-
ments of learning are no longer sufficient
for the masses of the people. All the
facilities of the rising generation must
be educated to think, to discriminate, to
judge. Every person should be so edu-
Gated as to have clear idea of his du-
ties, his obligations and privileges in all
the situations Of life. The study of his
tory, of political economy, of finance, of
commerce, Of manufacturing interests.
should be considered as necessary to the
education of farmers and mechanics, as
knowledge of their own special calling.


SO far as we have reason to be en-
couraged by the propitious season, by
our own favorable location, by the fertii-
ity of our soil, and by our many advan-
tages, let US congratulate ourselves. So
far as we find discouragement in the in
adequate prices of our products, in the
various discouragements and drawbacks
incident to the business in which we are
engaged, letus study to be more thought
1ul, more careful, more considerate of
means and ends and thus secure to our.
families the greatest good attainable, and
to lay the best foundations for the future
that 1t is in our power to establish.


Thus shall We best fulfil our mission
and our duty to ourselves, to our coun-
try and to posterity.

From the New YORK MALL


1t is common thing in our cities to
protect the heads of draft horses with a
bonnet or cushion to keep off the blaze
of the sun. But Dublin protector pro-
poses to extend a similar protection
over the entire animal He makes a
frame OF wood, whale.bone, iron rods, or
other flexible or strong material and
this he places over the horse, few
inches above him, the frame being sup
ported either by attachment to the har-
ness, or to the thills OF the vehicle
Upon the frame he stretches a piece OF
canvas, oiled cloth, or sheet rubber,
which forms complete pent house to
keep of either rain or sun. The space
between the animal and the covering
permits free passage of air, which aids
transportation, and hell to keep the
animal cool. The principle, as far as
this is concerned, is similar to that OF
the odd, oval-shaped hats worn by men
in the East Indies from time immemo-
rial. These comprise light frame OF
bamboo slips encircling the forehead
and sustaining a covering lined with
cork an inch above, and out OF contact
with the head. The slight rustling of
the breeze through ones hair is said to
be very refreshing, and quite possibly
horse furnished with one of the new
protectors may coincide with this
experience during hot summer days.

The Tranq utility of the House OF


Commons.


Z "The British lion, writes Don Piatt,
does not roar on the floor of the House
of Commons. That process known to
us of flying the eagle is unknown
here. When the British beast roars he
does it out at sea, or on some barbarous
coast, where every roar is good for four
or five hundred slaughtered barbarlans.
Here all is quiet The orators, if we
may call them such, drawl along in such
a manner that if you shut your eyes you
can imagine Dundreary below letting
loose his opinions. But one feels, all
the while, that slow and quiet as it may
be, business is being done. The mem
bers are not accommodated with desks
upon which to write electioneering let
ters. Not newspaper was to be seen.
No groups of people conversing inter
rupted debate, and the subject under
consideration was made the question to
be treated of. We had no long-winded
buncombe speeches, made up and spoken
without regard to the business on hand.
The very confusion and noise that
breaks out occasionally helps on the
proper legislation, for it is process by
which bores are put down. If man
has anything to say, and the ability to
say it, he will not be coughed or cried
down, but the Hons. Bingham and
Snaps die the death in the House OF

SCIENTIFIC tests are now all the rage,
and are applied to locomotive boiler as
well as to plO wman's prayer; l there.
fore venture to lay before you test Of
phrenOlOgy, which believe to be both


novel and scientific. Its infallibility rest
on the fact that the brain of man, as well
as his body gives off more heat when in a
state of activity than when in q state OF
rest; and that this surplus heat can, and
has been, measured in both instances by
means of tEe thermo-electric mnltiplier.
The modus operandi is as follows: you get
a subject, or patient, or what is better
person who is willing to be both, and set
him to read novel, or to do some light
work, such as shelling peas, etc., which
requires no thought or. exercise Of brain
power. You then apply delicate ther-
mo-electric pile (which is connected with
multiplier) to one or more of his bumps
(having previously seen that there is no
local Inflammation of the parts). You
then carefully note the degree OF hest
shown on the multiplier In each instance
(say Of the bumps of imitation and con-
structiveness). This being done, you set
the subject to copy a drawing or some
writing, and again apply the electric pile
to the bump Of imitation. Now II the In
strument shows an excess OF heat above
that noticed In the first instance, or eve~
If it shows any excess of heat, In the par
ticular spot known as the bump Of imita-
ton, above that of the surrounding
bumps; think, sir, that we may conclude
that phrenology is not altogether farce,
and that the bump in question is the seat
of the greatest activity in the brain during
the action of imitation. We can also
try the bumps Of cOnstructiveness and am
ativeness BY setting the subject to write
a love letter or the bumps of veneratinn
and calculation by setting him to say his


prayers and add up row Of figures. Ii

IHROUGH MONTANA.


For time last year, while certain changes
were taking place in the management and
policy Of the Northern Pacific, the necessa-
ry delays and uncertainties in respect to
laying down the plan of future operations,
gave rise to much dependency, it would
seem, among the citizens of Montana.


They had for years looked to the early
arrival of the Northern Pacific Railroad as
the great solvent of their commercial diff
culties At last the rumor comes that the
n 2. will not reach them till 1873, and on
the strength of this, company organized,
calling themselves the Montana, Northern
Pacific, and Utah r. r., proposing to con
meet Montana with the Union Pacific at
Corinne.


The more significant name of this COM
pany would have been the Utah, Union
Pacific and Lake Michigan Railway, as the
Montana trade was thus to be diverted to
that route. The Bozeman ADant Courier
satrized the project at length few weeks
ago, very cleverly, under the name Of the
Montana, North Pole and Useless r. r.


But rs the new programme of the North
ern Pacific K. X. is very encouraging, the
Courier clearly sums up the whole situa-
ton as follows:


We have substantial and indisputable evidence of
the early completion of the Northern Pacific road
which passes through almost the very of our
Territory aording railroad facilities equal de-
-nands for years come. When the question of
building North and South road was sprung. it was
done believed with the understanding that the
construction of the former road Territory would
be completed within six wears, and il uneer-
tain even at that late day. Under that impression
produced by the most plausible arguments from what
supposed be reliable authority. and recognizing
the great necessity of earlier railroad communication
tC relieve the embarrassment of Territory many
were deluded into vigorous and sincere advocacy of
the measure but, since every day receive con-
frmatory evidence OF a character beyond question:
that the Northern Pacific will bring the needed relief
without costing people dollar, than sub
sidized North and South road, which would involve
our people in debt that would press them the wall
for years come, these people, representing almost
every in Gallatn county, opposed being
taxed for any road, which would benefit only two uf
the principal towns of the TERRITORY, that uufer-
tunately not on the Northern Pacific reservation.

story is told of a French gentleman who, having lost the bulk of his property through the rascalities of friends in whom he trusted. crowned it all by the loss of his mental bal ancc, and for the remainder of his days found his only delight in riding in omnibusses and passing fares from the passengers to the dri- yer, taking care when change was returned to add sou or two to it from his own pocket, and watch the effects on the receiver. Ing cases out of ten, as the story goes, the pas senger, counting over his change, and finding as he supposed, that the driver had cheated himself, would look bewildered for moment and then pocket the change with quiet chackle.
