Mr. Cleveland and Col. Lamont,
Lis piivate secretary, will leave Albany
for AVasbingtou on next Tuesday morn
ing, aiid will arrive at the latter city
about ten o'clock r. M. of that day.
The inauguration cermonies will take

A Republican fool, ly tha name or
P. B. Lespenasse, who lives in Rockland
county, N. Y., and who la paying a bet
lost on Blaine's election by walking
from his home to "Washington, reached
Baltimore on Monday last. Tie has
with him a pig and a rooster, with
which he has trudged all the long dis
tance. . L
Ul'r readers can believe as much as
they please of the following story which
Cleveland, Ohio, sends out to the coun
try under date of the 19th Just., yester
day week :
A telegram received here from Alliance
llluetrati-s la a forcible manner how tbe rol
ler skating craze has taken possession of ttie
people of that town. The story lias just
leaked out that a well known married lady
who has long bt-en a regular skater at the
rink, was taken suddenly III while skating
and a physician was summoned. Her con
dition was apparent and a suggestion was
made that her skates be removed. Ttiis she
objected to positively, saying she had an en
gagement t waltz when the music began
playing. A few minutes later she gave birth
to twius.
The Committee ou Vice and Immo
rality in the House at Ilarrisburg has
reported favorably a bill which imposes
a line of one dollar or twenty days in
jail for every time a man takes on a
Leavier head of whisky than he can con
veniently carry. A man with a well
Glled purse would willingly pay the mod
erate fine of one dollar for the legal
privilege of getting gloriously drunk.
This bill affoids another instance of the
wild and impracticable notions that en
ter the minds of some men at Ilarris
burg on the subject of temperance re
form.
It appears from official information
recently laid before Congress that at
the elections held in 1S70, 1SS0, 1882
and I---!, the amount expended for
Deputy Marshals and Supervisors was
almost tiro millions of dollars. The
Cimsy Republican pretext for all this
has been "to preserve the purity of the
ballot," but in reality to make sure of
Republican ascendency by the most rep
rehensible and outrageous methods.
Under Mr. Cleveland's administration
the occupation of rowdies and ruffians
as United States Deputy Marshals will
be gone, and the States will be permit
ted to conduct their own elections with
out any interference on the part of
government hirelings.
Mn. HortNE informs us that the bill
Introduced by hini iDto the House reg
ulating the salary of the members and
minor officers, to which we referred last
week, provides that the members shall
receive one hundred dollars for " post
age and stationery, "which is Dfty dol-
lars less than the law now allows them
for these two items, Mr. H. states that
a memlier's letter postage is a very
small portion of the stamps he usee, but
that the postage ou public documents
is the chief matter to be taken into con
sideration, and hia belief id that the
amount named iu his bill for the two
Items, stamps and stationery, is not too
large. He may be correct, but. know
ing something about the amount of
sationary necessary for a member du
ring a session, we can't get the notion
out of our miud that fifty dollars ought
to be more than enough to pay for both.
Mr. Home states that his bill has not
yet been reported by the committee, and
thdt when it is, he will send us a print
ed copy of it.
The Washington Monument was for
mally dedicated on Saturday last, tha
day being an extremely coid one for
owt-door ceremonies. Robert C. Win
throp. of Boston, who was Speaker of
the House when the corner stone of the
Monument was laid on the 4th of July,
184s, and delivered the address, had
leen selected to perform the same duty
on the present occasion, but owing to
the conditiou of his health he was una
ble t be present, and the oration he
prepared w as read by ex-Governor Long,
of Massachusetts, who is now a member
of Congress. A lengthy address was
also delivered by John W. Daniel, of
Virginia, who U regarded as one of the
most iinished orators in the country,
fchort speeches were made by the vener
able W. W. Corcoran, of Washington,
-one of the original members of the Mon
ument Society, and by Piesident Ar
thur, Senator Sherman, of Ohio, aud
Colonel -Casey, the engineer iu charge.
The chaplain ou the occasion was the
pastor st FuhieL church, near Alexan
dria, which Washington attended dur
ing the time he lived at Mount Vernon.

The present Legislature don't seem
to be the least bit anxious to acquire the
confidence and respect of the people, but
rather to treat them with contempt.
It adjourned from Friday the 13th to
Monday evening the 18lh, in order to
give the members a chance to attend the
late city, borough, and township elec
tions. That adjournment cost the State
about thirteen thousand dollars. At
laf t Monday night's session George Mc-
Gowan, a leading Democratic member
from Philadelphia, who had been absent
from his seat two weeks, signalized his
return by offering a concurrent resolu
tion for the adjournment of the two
houses from to-day until next Monday
week, the monday after Cleveland's in
auguration. This proposed recess would
last ten days, and would cost the State
about thirty-two thousand dollars. The
purpose of the recess is to enable the
members who wish to do so, to attend
the inauguration of President Cleve
land. It requires but a few hours to go
from Ilarrisburg to Washington, but
Mr. McGowan's pioject contemplates a
waste of ten days in making tbe trip,
The resolution encountered a feeble op
position from a few members, but it
passed by a vote of 97 yeas to 62 nays.
showing that about forty members were
either absent or too cowardly to vote,
It remains to be seen what the Senate
will do with the resolution, but a prop
osition for a recess is seldom if ever de
feated. The result of this shameless
waste of time will be an avalanche of
hasty, crude, and Improvident legislation
during the expiring hours of the session,
simply a repetitiin of what has attend
ed the adjournment of nearly every for
mer session. The Speaker of the
House, Mr. Graham, of Allegheny
county, in his inaugural address, prom
ised the people that this would be a bu
siness session, and we think Colborn, of
Somerset, said something of the same
kind about the same time. The people
can now see the difference between the
promise and the performance. We do
not sensure the large Republican major
ity in the House for not voting down
the McGowan resolution. If they had
done so it would have created a terrible
amount of bad blood between them and
the Democrats, and that must be avoid
ed at all ha zards in deference to a Leg
islature that has been in session for
nearly two months, and has passed two
bills, one of which was vetoed by
wide-awake Democratic Governor.
The wife-beaters' bill was defeated
in the State Senate on yesterday week
by a vote of 1G yeas to 21 nays. The
Senator from this district, Harry Boggs,
voted against the bill, and for doing so
we hand him over to the tender mercies
of the married women in the counties of
Cambria and Blair, if there are any
such, and we think there are a few,
who are cursed with husbands so lost to
every feeling of honor aud shame as to
ill treat and abuse them by brute force.
On the same day and about the same
hour the bill was defeated in the Sen
ate, a married woman ramed Fanny
Murphy died at the city farm near
Pittsburg, from the effects of a terrible
beating inflicted by her husband, Martin
Murphy, three days previously. The
bill, even if it was an existing law,
I would not, of course, cover Murphy's
case, which can only le adequately
avenged by the hangman's rope, and we
merely mention it as an aggravated in
stance of a crime which is becoming
very common, and which the defeated
bill proposed to punish iu a summary
manner. Members of the Senate may
protest, as some of tiiem did, against
the "barbarism," as they called it, of
corporal punishment, their notion ap
parently being that the husband is enti
tled to a monopoly of the business.
There is a great deal of false sentiment
abroad in regard to the whipping post
as a punishment for the commission of
certain offences. Only about five or six
years ago the councils of Philadelphia
prepartd and discussed a memorial or
petition to the Legislature asking that
body to establish the whipping post as a
method for punishing certain kinds of
crime in that citv, and it was only de
feated by two or three votes. Whatev
er may be said about it as an abstract
proposition, eithsr on the one side or
the other, we think there is a general
concurrence of opinion all over the
Commonwealth, that the lash is the
well merited and most effective punish
ment for a man who commits an assault
and battery upon his wife. Such will
be the verdict of some future and better
State Senate than the one now in ses
sion at Ilarrisburg.
"A man who seeks a Cabinet position,
or who h.is others seek one foi h:rn, is
not of the material of which a Cabinet
should be made," is what that veteran
Democrat, Allen G. Thurman, said to
a newspaper reporter at his home in Co
luiHbus. Judge Thurman's language is
in keeping with his whole public life,
in as much as, he never sought office, but
the wTlees he has held have always
sought him. The feeling among Dem
ocrat in every Stae in the Union in
favor cf Judge Thurman's being taken
into Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet, is strong
er even than that Mr. Bayard should be
come cne of the President's confidential
Hdviwrs, for the reason triat Mr. Bayard
is the recognized leader of his party in
the Senate, and his place could not be
adequately tilled. Judge Thurman's
name continues to be mentioned iu con
nection with the Secretaryship of the In
terior, but no man knows what Mr.
Cleveland's conclusions are in regard to
his Cabinet ami most likely will not
know until rext Tuesday niyht when
the Prestdent-elrct will arrive in Wash
ington. If it should turn out that the

rOLlilCAL ORATORS.
STATESMEN WHO AVEKE NOTED AS POW
ERFUL STUMP SPEAKERS.
fears that the oratory of the
stump may belong to the lit Tactions of
the past. Either committee wouia nave
gone far down into its barm account j
could it have secured a stump orator
like the late Senator Nye. This giltea
man was a tower of strength to Repub
lican managers. He would bring in the
farmers, through rain ana Knee-ueep
mud, for many miles, and the hall could
never be found big enough to hold all
who wanted to hear him. Jiis numor,
sarcasm, anecdote, pathos, and scorch
ing invective found their great ueia anu
stimulus on the stump, and men could
never tell whether they had been listen
ing to him for minutes or hours.
President Liucoln was regarded as a
stump speaker of remarkable power
long before he came into men's minds
in connection with the Presidency. In
deed, many regard him as the greatest
orator the country has produced, Mr.
Edward McPherson being one of these.
Greatest, they mean, if the supreme
test be. in the power of influencing the
hearer. Mr. Liuc ln, unlike many men
of commanding influence on the stump,
found his power not limited to this kind
of oratory. It was said of him by an
eminent writer that his remarkable fac
ulty of putting things, his intellect, ca
pable of the closest and most subtle an
alysis, and the use of language so as to
put his ideas in the clearest and simplest
form gave to his public efforts a weight
and influence such as no public man of
this country had ever before attained.
Mr. Douglas, with whom Mr. Lincoln
carried on a series of joint pubMc de
bates that attracted the attention of the
country, was regarded as one of the very
best stump orators of his or any time.
Gen. Garfield as an orator at the hust
ings ranked with the first in his party.
Mr. Conklicg and Mr. Blaine are re
garded as possessing extraordinary pow
ers of this kind, entirely separate from
other qualities of mind that have made
them dsstinguished.
The tendency to read essays, instead
of delivering speeches, has become so
universal in both branches of Congress
that it is rare that a speech of any
length is delivered without the com
plete manuscript being before the speak
er. While this results in greater grace
of style, accuracy of expression, and
better diction, it is at the cost of the
energy, fire, enthusiasm, and hot emo
tions that the extempore speech stimu
lates. The men most emineul for their
power of oratory in recent Congresses,
Loweyer, have spurned the use of manu
script. The late Senator Carenter,
whom many regarded as the most fas
cinating speaker of recent years in Con
gress, despised a written speech. He
once said that he might as well shut
himself up in an iron cage, and try to
talk through the bars. He believed in
preparation, but not in prescription.
Mr. Conkliug, w hile in the Senate, ney
er laid his manuscript opeu on his desk.
He n?ver read a speech, and, like Mr.
Carpenter, never hesitated for a word.
Yet both these orators never spoke
without thorough preparation. Mr.
Edmunds seldom makes long speeches,
rarely exceeding (ilteeii minutes. He
speaks always extemporaneously, and
never revises the stenographers' Lotes
or proot s'.ips. John Sherman does not
write his speeches; neither does Gen.
Logan nor Senator Ilo.ir.
The three most voluble Senators, Mor
gan, Beck and Plumb, neither write nor
specially prepare their speeches, except
ing to gather the tacts. None of these
three, however, makes any cia.im to the
possession of oratorical powers, though
each is singular in one respect. Mr.
Plumb is the most rapid speaker who
has been in the Senate for many years.
He and Senator Reck are the only men
whoever taxed Mr. Murphy's power a3
a stenographer to the fullest, and many
think Mr. Murphy is the most lapid
stenographer in the world. Mr. Plumb's
words are emitted with terrific sped.
I He sometimes utters as many as 2'J in
j a minute. Mr. Beck, while scarcely
I ltss rapid, speaks less clearly thau Mr.
I Plumo, so that his worda pound just as
I the posts of a Virginia fence, look to a
! man sitting at tiie window of a light-
ning express. Mr. Morgan's speech is
j rapid, flows as continuously as a run
! ning brook, with much the same pleas
I anlly bubbling soni.d. He never pre
! pares or revises his speeches. They ap
i pear in The Record precisely as he de-
livers them, and yet Mr. Murphy says
I that he never yet has found in them an
j error of grammar or of dictiou, and
j that as specimens of pure, classic Eug
j luh they are unexcelled by the speeches
j of auy Senator. Mr. Bayard does not
j read his speerhs, I ut with these excep
tions almost all the others do. It did
j cause his Indiana friends some astonish
ment when Mr. Voorhess first unrolled
j his mannscript, but the custom is now
I confirmed with him. Mr. Pendleton,
j too, whose oratory used to be a delight
i to his Ohio friends, now reads his
I speeches.
i In the long debates upou the tariff
' bill in the house, both last winter and
the session preceding, with hardly an
j exception, the speeches were read from
j manuscript. Speaker Carlisle, two
years ago, Judge Kellv, and Mr. Ran
! dall were the only members of promi
j nence who did not read their speeches,
j The habit has had one effect that is
' inevitable ; it cives the sp-ech reader a
very slim audience generally. The es
says are read in a monotonous aud al
most inaudible tone, and the cases
where a speech that is read is accom
panied by auy of the graces of elocution
are very rare. Judged by the accepted
standard of oratory, hardly a member of
Congress who reads his speeches can be
ranked as an orator. JV. 1". Sun.

Washington, Feb. 23, 1SS5.
The Washington Monument has been
turned over, was the startling announce
ment on the street yesterday at twelve
o'clock This did not mean that it bad
been overturned, but that it had been
turned over transferred from the Mon
ument Committee, who have had it tn
charge foi thirtv-six years, to the peo
ple of the United States. The ceremo
nial programme has now been comple
ted and tbe monument stands alone in
its peerless grandeur, divinely tall and
most divinely fair ; the noblest tribute
to the noblest man.
The six thousand who composed the
civic and military procession, and who
worA nut. from 10 A. M. until 2 P. M.,
standing for the most of the time mas
sed in a square about tbe monument,
had a foretaste of the horrors of war.
It was bitter weather, and many, chilled
to the bone, were prostrated with the
cold.
The procession from the monument
to the Capitol was well ordered and im
posing. I have seen many processions
move along Pennsylvania Avenue, but
never before have I seen them succeed
in keeping tbe street clear, ana ineir
success on this occasion augurs well tor
the much laiger procession that will
move along the same route next week,
on the fourth of March. The sidewalks
of Pennsylvania Avenue are very wide,
but the spectators have been disposed
to encroach upon the street, to crowd
the column in procession, and to break
the view from all but the first line. By
a succeosrul disposition of mounted po
licemen, the avenue was kept perfectly
clear, and all were enabled to enjoy the
spectacle. Major Dye, the chief ot po
lice, received a letter of thanks from
the President for his success in manag
ing the crowd.
First came Gen. Sheridan in full uni
form, mounted on a black horse, lie
was followed by four aids, aud a large
body of mounted men. Next in order
came the U. S. infantry and artiller,
aud then the volunteer military and civ
ic oreauizations. These were followed
by a long line of carriages decorated
with the stars and stripes, in which sat
memberr of Congress and Justices of
the Supreme Court. The President sat
in a carriage drawn by four horses. Con
spicuous at the head of the Southern vis
iting military companies, was General
Filzhugh Lee, mounted on a superb
dark bay stallion.
The ceremonies at the monument
were very brief. The weather was so
cold that not even the speakers uncov
ered their bald heads, and those in the
audience sat with their hats on and mov
ed their benumbed feet constantly. At
the Capitol, from which all but a favor
ed two thousand were excluded, the cer
emonies were protracted, aud the ad
dresses were longer, but were endured
by the audience with fortitude. The
first oration was written by Mr. Win
throp, who was the orator thirty-seven
years ago, when the corner stone was
laid. It was in the somewhat heavy and
redundant style of rolling periods that
was considered fine rhetoric forty years
ago. Mr. Gladstone, Monsieur Garn
betta, Lord Macaulay, or Mr. Vilas
would have said more in half as many
words. The oration was read by Mr.
Long, of Massachusetts, the writer be
ing too feeble to b present.
The oration of Col, Daniels, of Vir
ginia, was flowery and brilliant, sopho
merical and portentious. The best or
ators of the day practice a different
style, a:id the orators of the future will
not find models in last Saturday's ora
tions, except of some faults they should
avoid. Life is too short, and modern
common sense and culture is too practi
cal, to be cheated and tickled by words,
words, words. This view does not ex
clude eloquence, but it does exclude
grandiloquence, which vaunts itself and
substitutes gaudy sentences for a chaste
and simple expression of thought. If
old Mr. Winlhrop and young Mr. Dan
iels will take care to revise their ora
tions before delivery, and carefully cut
out all the fine things they bave doted
on, they may yet make pretty good ora
tors, but the old style of soaring the
American eagle until it is out of sight,
and making the larks sing at the gates
of Paradise, will not do for thes times.

which illustrates how the soldibr8'
okphans' schools are slpplied.
A few jears after the war closed a young
nian who tiad served creditably as a soldier
married the daughter of a well to-do fanner
not many ruiies Irom the State college. A
farm was secured and stocked for tbe yousg
couple, and they lived happily aud prosper
ed until six children were born to them;
when the mother died. A year or so of
mourning followed, and then a new wife
and mother was looked for. The wife bnt
not the mother was found in the person of a
j pniom miss or ine same valley, who was
willing to Rsiume the duties of the first po
i sltion, but only on condition that the respoc-
sinility of the second should be removed in
j some way or another; or, to be plainer, that
j the the children of the first mother be dls
i posed of iu soma way so as not to trouble, or
: annoy her. How to do this was the ques
j tion.
j It was a difficult problem to solve, for
, neaily everybody who nave children have as
i many of their own as they want, and but
j tew of those who bave none want to be
i bothered wit'.i or made responsible for the
proper rearing of other people's. But a
wife had to bi had, and in order to get the
oue wanted th children had to be gotten
away with. How to do it was the great
; question lor a considerable time. At length
! the soldiers' orphan school idea struck our
j soldier friend, and a short correspondence
I resulted in the principal of one of these or
, phans' schools accepting, as wards of the
j State, five of the six little ones. The only
barriwr to the wife getting business being
removed, the wedding was duly celebrated,
I and while the State- ib now feeding, clothiug,
j and schooling the children of the first wife,
I the father of these five little " soldier's or
; pi ans " is prospering as a farmer and busi-
ly encaged in seeing to the welfare of an
I other f in i l that is springing up around

Wonders Never (ae.
A long time ago th wise man said there
is nothing new under the sun, but yet the
daily experience, of hundreds seem to prove
this false. Some contend that the days of
miracles are past, but yet it appears as if
thev are not yet cone by, when such men as
I. N. Tldball, of Washington, IV. gives the
following remarkable testimony :
"I have been a severe sufferer from chron
ic rheumatism and kidney affection for over
twenty years, and after having tried nearly
everything without getting relief, com
menced using Pemrwt a few months ago. The
benefit I have received Is wonderful. 1 feel
like a new man, and am fully restored to
health. '
Surely such a cure Is remarkable, and
none should hesitate any lorger about using
Peruna, the great remedy discovered by Dr.
Ilartman. Send to your druggist for a bot
tle, and ask for his book on tho 'Ills of Life.'
The Mont Remarkable Caae of all.
A gentleman writes ns from Philipsburg,
Centre (Jo., Pa., that his little girl was hor
ribly afflicted with scrofula. Her body was

One bottle McDonald's Blood Puriflej has to
all appearances entirely cured her. Our
neighbors as well as ourselves consider it a
remarkable cure.
