The government’s receipts daring the last fiscal year were $269,000,000 and the expenditures $238,500,000.

The Pennsylvania democratic convention yesterday passed a series of sensible resolutions, which, with one exception, were sound doctrine. They whin 3d In the usual beggarly fashion over the induction of Hayes into office by a process which but for them could never have been adopted. After that they endorsed the southern, policy, the civil iervice policy, declared against class legislation, opposed any increase in the regular army, and condemned grants of exclusive privileges and the establishment of monopolies.

Newspapers need not go into spasms of regret, as some of them do, because congrees did not accept the invitation of the French government to the exposition next year, and because the president refused to appoint a provisional commission, which will result in this country not being properly represented. The effect on ourselvee will not be so good as an effort for a general display would have produced.' Competition is always healthful for the parties concerned, but bo far as the loss in advertising the progress and development of this country is concerned it is not large. The French people would have been the ones chiefly concerned, and in this respect they are all Bourbons, they learn nothing and do nothing. No nation is more narrow minded, prejudiced and less Susceptible to demonstration than the French. They keep their money at home, and stay there themselves mostly. They patronize nothing that is not French, whatever the merits. With all the American gold spent in Paris—fifty millions yearly, perhaps—the French have Imbibed no new notions, ng larger Bpirit. They treated ns in a shabby manner at onr exposition, and it is not B deplorable thing if we give them only candle ends for their illumination.

In the matter of public order it deServes the fate of the bugler taken prisoner, who me* a speedier death in that he did not fight himself bat incited others thereto. The Sentinel abounds In lawless counsel. It teems with ad< Tice, which if acted upon would tarn red-handed riot loose in twenty-four hours. At the top of its columns it Haunts a standing falsehood, concerning the chief executive of the land, teaching that he has no right tn execute the laws, while in every phase of subjects touching the rights of liberty and property, it advocates license and robbery. This is no wolf story to frighten children. It is as dangerous B reality as the July riots were. We did not think of murder and arson and pillage then, till they were abroad in the land. Here are doctrines taught which lead directly to their repetition. The lawless instinct is fostered for another outbreak, and led by the Sentinel till the time when it shall be turned loose to ravage and dsatroy. Those teachings are objects of contempt and scorn for those who live by the law, but way down in the cellars and tenements, the dark ends of no thoroughfares, the nether aide of the social undercrust, there are elements always awaiting a time of turmoil to take advantage of it. To them the Sentinel comes and tells them “the world owee them a living,” and if it does not give it, to take it Here is where it is a pnblic enemy, and we warn the people that its doctrines will bring forth fruit to their cost This much for the Sentinel as a journalistic enterprise, which is the people’s affair. As a business investment, it has swindled everybody who has been foolish enough to trust it, or so helplese that he had to, even to the poor hard-working laboring man of the few dollars due him for toil. This is the sort of paper the people of this community are tolerating in their midst, enabling it by the slender support business men give it to go forth daily to array the lawless elements of society against these very men who are supporting it, and to injure the credit of

the city and state at home and abroad. Who is responsible for this? The editors are simply hirelings who work for pay and write what they are told, and while the vulgar expressions and obscene illustrations which point the inimorals of the sheet are doubtless the spontaneous productions of the writers, the subject matter and policy of the paper are guided by the men who own the stock. These are the men who are responsible for the inculcation of a standard of law and morals that would meet the approval of a Basbi-Bazouk. These men wish to stand high in the social scale, some of them; they wish to be known as lawabiding citizens; they have businesses to maintain, and yet they invade decent hon.seholds seven days in the week with language and sentiments that as to morality should not be heard outside of a bagnio, and as to legality should not be heard outside of jail. In the name of their own wives and daughters have they no shame? In the name of the property they have accumulated have they no respect for law? It would seem not, and it is time the people wiped away this stain on our community and held these men responsible for it.

MJT HAY4J, AMEBICAN DOM* XT The general and apparently well organized or at least well guided move, meat to make the labor problem, the compensations of labor, and the relations of labor and capital, a political issue is a sure sign of the influence of native American sentiment and sagacity in the counsels of the working men. Therefore, it may be regarded as a healthy sign. As a rule native skilled workmen are owners of their houses, are provident enough to 1 oak to the future and provide for its chances, are reading men and steady patrons of schools. It is doubtful if one man in a thousand can’t ^read or write. The na--tive artisan thus has the same stake in the perpetuity of the government, in the permanence of social order, in the protection of property rights, that his employer has. Not so great a one, but just like it, and just as important to him. He also has a full knowledge of his political power, and of the ease with which a well constructed combination of intelligent voters can force legislatures into action that will avert or repress the abuses of any class. Consequently a political organization and the exercise of his political power is, if not the first, always a very obvious resort when he feels wronged. He don’t think of killing anybody or destroying anybody’s property. Violence is as unlikely an appliance with him as a Quaker. He fights by legal processes and with legal weapons, conscious that he is just as strong, or can readily make himself so By peaceful organization acting upon intelligence and right sympathies, as any class that would knowingly injure him. He may “strike” when he feels hardly used, but if he can’t win by striking, he won’t by murder and robbery. He will put his wrongs into the next local election and beat the candidate that he don’t like. We all know that this has occurred over and over again all over the country. So we say, with the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, as quoted the other day, let the workingman put his case into politics. It is the right place, or if it isn’t it is infinitely a better plan than the murderous organizations that have so blackened the name and fame of workingmen. It is a legal and legitimate way of doing that which other classes of workingmen, exhorted by such slop-brained creatures as Travellick, and such crosses of blood and blackguardism, violence and venality as the Sentinel, have so often tried to do with equal ferocity and futility, create a general outbreak of disorder and plunder in the hope not of asserting their own rights but of getting somebody else’s. A BLOTCH ON THIS COMMUNITY. There is a story told somewhere of an abbess and nuns who, traveling in Spain, weresoshocked at the muleteer’s profanity that they forbade him. He contended that the mules would not move above a snail’s pace without it, their rate of speed being in exact proportion to the extent and density of the blasphemy. The abbess was incredulons, but a cessation of the torrent of curses quickly proved the truth of the assertion. She was in despair. She must make haste on her journey, she could not sanction profanity. But finally she hit upon an expedient by which she saved both time and mor. ality. She divided the oaths, allowing the muleteer to say one part while she said the other, and. in case of a threemaster giving the stern end to a third member of the party. It was all the same to the mules. They got their cursing and trotted accordingly, wb-le the abbess was hastened on her journey^ rejoicing at the escape from wickedness. In dealing with the ^entinel one is in something the same quandary the abbess was. A beast, like the beasts in the story, it comprehends none but the vilest language ; so there is nothing for it but to rob the characterization of as much repulsiveness as possible, as the abbess did. That we deal with such a subject at all is a necessity forced upon us. ’ It lies in the line of oar duty as a public journal. We should’ be untrue to the people if we did not, and we call their attention to the point that this is

their cause, not ours, more than a newspaper is one interest in the many that make up a community. We well know tbe fixity of what is called “personal ‘‘jatornalism,” atd when the personality is the repulsive one of the Sentinel we sincerely sympathize with the people at having to contemplate such a disgusting spectacle. But they should see it in all its festering hideousnees, and ponder the danger to the social botly. The law of this country is public opinion, and public opinion must care for the public peace and morals, and it shall not go blameless if it permits the propagation of sentiments and doctrines which bear fruit in corrupted morals and social revolutions. Slowly but surely sinking to the level of its just dues in lack of patronage, lack of circulation, lack of influence, lack of means, lack of everything that marks the difference between a newspaper and a handbill, the Sentinel seeks to gain a freebooter’s living, with hopes, perhaps for a freebooter’s fatness, by turning pariah and pandering to the passions of the vicious and depraved; by gathering the sans-culottes to its support and levying black mail on the saving forces of society. Corruption is its creed and communism its mission. It stops at no shame, halts at no rascality, for a few dirty dollars. It is in the market for any vile use. Bankrupt in purse as well as character, there is no remedy in law or decency for those whom it plucks or smirches. Ask its defrauded employes, ask slandered men to whom the law gives no relief but a money relief, for which purpose the Sentinel is equal to nothing. With it ribaldry is argument and nastiness wit It uses blasphemy for proof and obscenity for illustration. Voluble blackguardism is logical demonstration with it. In point of morals it is clearly amenable to the law suppressing obscene publications. Is there a private scandal which with carrion instinct it scents out, at once it turns it into a public scandal. In a recent case it was accused by the victims of attempting blackmail. This it brazenly denied, and proceeded to publish a lot of corrupting details. When it had quite finished and made its case it suddenly retracted all it had said and apologized in the most fulsome manner. Was it blackmail, first or last, or a failure both times? It echoes the themes of the purlieus and slums, voices the slander of gossip, gives consistency to evil rumor, makes crimes of peccadilloes, vices of faults, and becomes the scandalous chronicle for all the wickedness afloat. It is a sewer for the free flow of the most degrading passion of human nature. It prostitutes its columns for the furtherance of lechery, blazoning forth its “free personals” where invitations to crime and appointments for its gratification are made in the most unblushing manner, and where a reputable and honored name has appeared forged to a scandalous request. In the prosecution of a variety concert hall or bagnio the Sentinel rarely falls to come to the rescue, and in it the gambling hell finds its only defender. Its editorials (sic) reek in foulness and filth, couched in language a decent man would not read to his wife and would guard his daughters from as from a Leprous thing. It is an outrage to Godfearing households, an insult to law abiding ones.

The Pennsylvania Democracy. The Pennsylvania democratic convention yesterday nominated John Trankey for supreme judge, on the fourth ballot, by a vote of 125 against 124 for Furman Shepherd. Wm. P. Schell was nominated for auditor and other nominations were poetponed till to-day. The resolutions declare that tbe inauguration of Hayes was a high crime that will be resisted next time; endorse his application of the democratic doctrine of non-intervention; that civil service reform is a confession of the failnre of radicalism ; that capital has been too highly favored; that the army should not be increased or employed for interference with tbe sovereign right of states; that unemployed labor demands sympathy and sssistance; that no land grant* or subsidies should be allowed; and that the railroads should be watched. Some greenback resolutions were ruled out.

The .Vliiiing Troubles. The miners employed in the Westmoreland and Pennsylvania company’s mines, at Irwin Station, Westmoreland county, Pa., quit work Tuesday afternoon, and resolved that they would not resume until their demands for an advance was complied with. These mines give employment to abont 1600 men. That night a force of from 300 to 400 miners organized and marched to Spring Hill, a place on tbe Pennsylvania road where the engines are coaled, and induced the miners at that place to quit work. All the mines in the Irwin district are now closed. The miners demand three cents per bushel of seventy-six pounds, pay every two weeks, hall-inch screen, and a check weighman. The Sentinel Wallows In Infamy. [Morning Journal.] To say that the paper is a disgrace to the city but feebly expresses a fact which ell decent people feel. It is a stench, a nuisance, and a public calamity. With a most uncommon talent for falshood, an unerring scent for carrion, and a moral sense so completely prostituted that it world rather lie than tell the truth, it actually seems to enjoy its bad pre-emi-nence and wallows in infamy as a hog does in mire.

A Hawaiian Volcano Active. Late advices from Kilauea state that the lake, which a few weeks ago was empty and dead, exhibiting only a vast black pit. 500 feet in depth, is now full of activity and filled with molten lava to within a few feet of the brink.

EnglUb Hatred of Americana. A correspondent of tbe Chicago-!imss writes from England of the English pscple in much the atra bilioas vien of Ju lian Hawthorne, but with less of his vigor or keenness of perception. This correapondent’s special point of complaint is that the English hate Americans. Concerning onr gtrike he says: “I don’t believe the English people have had so much right down subst^tial er oyment as they are having now, since the days of Ball Ran end the confederate advance ou the national capital.” He does not attempt to reconcile this statement with the fact that English money is so largely invested in our securitiee, e8p*cially our railroad securities, but simply asserts this fast and in this vein be proceeds: In fact this dislike of Americans prevails everywhere here except among a very few. There are seme English people who hate their own kind, and have a most extraordinary I king for people from the states. They profeee to admire the American “temperament” whose flexibility and activity is inwiolent contrast to the phlegmatic and heavy dispoeition of the representative Englishman. Outside this very small cltss, the word American is a synonym lor barbarism; and not only this, bat it means something to be disliked, to be avoided, smd oftentimes to be hated. He dislikes all foreigners, and we are made particularly aware of it because we happen to speak the same language. He dislikes us rather more than others because we reciprocate his hostility in a language which he understands. In some sort we are his relatives, and, as is well known, there are no quarrels so intense, bitter, deadly, as among families. It is true that, in speeches, we bear a great deal abont kinship, and all that, bat you may be asanred that, so far as the English people are concerned, it is all bosh and pretense, without one shadow of earnest-

ness.”

We are not told why, beyond this assertion, that it is “bosh.” The reception to President Grant, this correspondent says, was a “hollow sham.” Beneath the surface of the flood of fine things that were said about him he was the object of ridicule, the subject of scandalous anecdote. The correspondent does not believe them himself, he says, and thinks they were invented and cironlated from “hatred of Americans,” which he appears to sssigo as a canse for everything. There are contrasts in ways of life and manners ‘ in everything always to the advantage of Americans. Their lack of politeness he Illustrates by an incident which took place aboard a yacht on a pleasure sail off Brighton. One lady, with a baby and several small children, was sick, and no one made an effort to help her. The correspondent finally came and held the sick child for her. He continnes: “There was bnt one bright feature to me, in the whole performance. Once when my little charge commenced throwing up like a young volcano, I so steered or manipulated the upheaval that what I did not get myself went into the silken lap and over the ample skirts of a female next to me. She was the one who should have taken the baby. Bhe did not take the baby, but she did moat of its contents.”

Tbe Telephone In Practical Use. [New York Tribune.! J. L. Haigh, of No. 81 John street, the contractor lor manufacturing the wire for the Brooklyn bridge, put up a telephone a short time ago connecting his establishment with the bridge sanerintendent’a office. This becoming known, many enrions and interested persons called to test the practical operation of the telephone. Mr. Haigh was so annoyed by these visitors that he was compelled to pat nma notice referring all persons to Charle* A. Cheever, at No. 32 Tribune building, who is the agent for the talephone in this country, for information upon the snbiect. Among others, a Tribute reporter was referred to Mr. Cheever. He found that cheerful little gentleman in his office, surrounded by telephone instruments, it was found that Mr. Gbeever has lately placed in this city several telephone instruments and wires. One of these connects his office with the Champion Burglar Alarm company’soffice at Thirteenth street and Broadway, by a circuitous rout^, using one of their old telegraph wires, between three and fonr miles in length, as the mediom of communication. Mr. Cheever has another wire running to Broad street, in communioation with an establishment engaged in the construction of telegraph lines. Another line connects Mr. Cheever’s office with the office of Dickerson & Beaman, lawyers, in the St&ats Zsitung building. Tbe reporter enjoyed a conversation with Mr. Beaman over this wire, and found that words could be transmitted at the rate of about 200 a minute. Mr. Cheever is erecting a line for the Clyde steamship company from its office in Bowling Green to pier No. 2, North river, from which its steamships sail. This is a circuitous line abont five miles in length. The piers of tbe Brooklyn bridge are also being connected by telephones with the superintendent’s office, so thatall the movements of the “travelers” in carrying the wires across from pier to pier can be communicated and directed without the use of signal flap as at present. Tbe current of sound in these telephones is carried by a single wire in either direction. All that it is possible to do in ordinary conversation between two people sitting within two feet of each other in a room can be done at the distance of five or ten miles, or even a greater distance, by simply raising the voice and speaking a little slower than naturally. The telephone instruments themselves are very simple, consisting of two wooden tubes, one of which is placed at tbe mouth, the other at the ear. The extension of these telephones all over the city In place of the electric telegraph it thought to be only a question of time.

Tbe Damage by the Communistic Sentinel. [Morning Journal.] In the recent strike, tiae to its record and antecedents, it became the organ of the mob. Under the pretense of favoring workingmen, it has advocated communism. During the period of greatest excitement it abonnded with inflammatory editorials, intended to encourage and excite oppoeition to the law. Under the thin pretext of advocating peace, it has opposed all attempts to enforce the law, and in terms of the vilest billingsgate has abused tbe judges and officers who finally asserted its supremacy. It has put forth ideas and doctrines which if carried oat would have laid the city in ashes. It has tried to array labor against capital and workingmen against their employers. It made a direct attack on every business man in tbe city by advocating doctrines which if they prevailed would put an end to all business. It has insulted lawabiding citizens by upholding ansrchy, and ontraged every honest man by defending mob rale. The paper has always been a disgrace to the city,but if itsboaldT begin now to be respectable it could not atone by twenty years of good conduct for the injury and disgrace it has brought on the community daring the last few weeks.

"Why she wouldn’t: A young lady was at a party during which quarrels between husband and wife were discussed. “I think,” said an unmarried older son, “that the proper thing is for the husband to have it out at once, and thus avoid quarrels for the future. I would light a cigar in the carriage after the wedding breakfast, and settle the smoking question forever.” “I would knock the cigar out of your mouth,” interrupted the belle. “Do you know I don’t think you would be there,” he remarked. The Cambria iron company of Johns town, Pa., is importing iron ore from Spain at a cost of only $8 a ton, and this in a region abounding in iron ore which is worth in the mine not over 50 cents a ton; but which the strikers refuse to handle except at higher rates than the iron masters at the preaeut low rates of iron can afford to pay.

What to do Wltls the Comnsmiletle Sentinel. [Morning Journal.) What ought to be done with such a paper? Having openly and defiantly arrayed itself against law and order, lew and order-loving people ahoald array themselves tgainst ths paper. Having declared war upon capitalists and busmen man, these sbould declare war on the paper. Its cowardly proprietor* should not be permitted to screen themselves behind the rhelter of a corporation, and thus carry on their communistic warfare nn molested end unpunished. The dirty demagogues should be attacked in their only vulnerable part, their pockets, and in tae absence of any conscience or decency should be made to feel that an intelligent commnuliy li^e this will not support their vile incendiary sheet, the organ of misrule, the advocate of communists, tbe defetner of privets character, and the repi^eentative of everythirg that is base in journalism. Whoever boys it contributes to comma aism. Whoever subscribes far it indorses mob rule against law and order. Who ever supports it in any way indorsee its infamous course. The business ma i whe advertises In it pays monsy for the promuigation of principles which would destroy all business. The railroad company which pays a dollar to the concern furnishes aid and comfort *to an open enemy. The citizen who contributes a penny to its support helps to sustain that which is a disgrace to the city. It has had a long career of uninterrupted infamy, but the time has come when the decent portion of the commuity should unite in administering it a severe and practical rebuke. As it haa become the open organ of the mob, let it rely on the mob for its support If the patronage of the citizens and businen men of the city, whom it insults and villifles, were withdrawn, the vile concern would not live a mouth.

The RuMtl&iie and Tea. The Russian soldiers are said to live and fight aimost wholly upon tea. The Cossacks often carry it about in the shape of bricks,- or rather tiles, which, before hardening, are soaked in sheep's blood and boiled in milk, with the addition of Soar, butter and salt, so as to constitute a kind of soup. The passion of the Russian for this beverage is simply astonishing. In tbe depths of winter he will empty twenty enps in saccenion, at nearly boiling point, nntil he perspires at every pore, and then in a state of intense excitement, rush out. roll m the snow, get up, and go On to the next similar place of entertainment. So with the army. With every gronp or circle of tents travels tbe invariable tea-cauldron, suspended from a tripe d ; and it would be vain to think of computing how many times each soldier’s pannikin is filled npon a halt. It is his first idea. Frequently he carries it cold in a copper case, as a solace npon the march.

A provident and businen-like man, on leaving the city for his annual summer trip with his family, placed a placard just inside the bail door, couched in the following language: “To burglars, or those intending.to burgle: ‘Come, now, let us reason together.’ All my plated jewelry and other valuables are in the Safe Deposit company’s vanlta.
