Of one firm the witness testified that when he informed them that the flour was not fit for the human being to eat they replied it was for the almshouse and was good enough. And these very almshouse poor, from year to year, have been brought to the pools by the bosses and made to vote to keep them in places whore they can rob them and the rest of Philadelphia sms) TA ————— Isn't it queer that when the bosses say Beaver shall be the nominee, that that fixes it, without consulting the rank and file? Now, republicans what's the use of holding a state convention? This is the most barefaced job the bosses have yet dictated, and we would advise Geaere al Beaver to keep a little shy of those cattle, Sn in A bill introduced in the senate by Mr. Edmunds, to provide for defraying the extraordinary expenses incurred in con- sequence of the assanlt upon the late Plsident Garfield, authorizes the Secre tary of the Treasury to pay the necessa- ry and reasonable expenses incurred in behalf of the lafe Presideat, provided the aggregate sum allowed and paid does not exceed $100,000, Guitean's tira! will cost another addi. tional $150,000, still the republicans are fast Forgetting Garfield av! going over to the stalwarts who were put in power by Guiteau's pistol. It appears republi- cans will do anythiog. The Titasville Pretroleum World, ind. rep. is not for Beaver. It saya: “The nomination of Beaver will have no effect upon the Wolfe independents other than to strengthen them in the position they assumed at the contest. They will be straightforward and consistent in their course. They will not stultity them- selves by supportiog Beaver for governor after having refused to support him for the senate. Beaver's nomination for the senate was the handiwork of Cameron, Quay and the other bosses, and if he is nominated for governos, it will be through the exercise of the same influ- ences. If it was right to oppose a ma chine candidate for senator, it would be wrong to support the same man as a ma. chine candidate for governor. We like General Baaver and the Wolfe indepen- dents like him foo, but we and they are uncompromisingly opposed to the men who are maoaging hispolitical fortunes, They will dfiele him in spite of himself, and reduce him to their own level. The true independent republicans of ‘the states, that is, those who are for reform first and party afterward, could not eon- sistently or, rightfully support him for governor.” Hayes intends makisg a trip to Bus rope. For goodness sake let him never retarn—dead or alive. A fraud such as he was should never, after having left or American soil, set his foot on it again. Should he die abroad he should be buried in Van Diemen’s Land; Amer ican soil is too precious to be covered over the corpse of one who knowingly accepted a stolen presidency. In this issue we give a synopsis of Ben 's speech on civil service reform. He a" centre shot at John Sherman, the Ohio hypocrit. Mr. Sherman was at the door of the senate coat room when Hill alluded to the “former Secretary of the Tressury,” and he at once dodged out of sight, when Hill showed up his hypocrisy. EO The Philadelphia Press of Tuesday contains an interesting interview with General James A. Beaver, who ison a visit to the national capital in behalf of some old soldier friends. General Bes. ver declares that thers is not a word of truth in the recent account of a stalwart conference in Washington to make him the next republican candidate for gov- ernor. He says he first heard of the oconfererice. in the Philadelphia Times. But General Beav2r's testimony, though entirely honest and sincerd, is-negstive, while that which relates to the confer- ence is direct and circumstantial. The conference might have been held with- out his knowledge, though he thinks differently. It was not necessary for the stalwart leaders fo give him notice of their conferences. But what is much more to the purpose than this alleged conference, whether 1t was held or not, is General Beaver's emphatic decl«ra- tion that he is against boss rnle as much as anyonefelse, and that “he accepted a aomination from no other power than the people.” Such being the case Gen- eral Beaver will bardly accept a nomina- tiofi from the republican machine con- vention, for it is well known that the people have an exceedingly small share in the operations of the machine. The question then arises, Will General Bea- ver imitate the example of Mr. Wolfe and run as an independent candidate. rem ly tp - Mr. Beoville's object in lecturing was to raise funds to carry on the defense.

The best confirmation of the assertion that the graveyard insurance companies are doing an illegal business and are afraid to face the music was given in Court in the afternoon, when the time came to argue the motion of the Attor ney General that the business of the Southern Peansylvania Company of Hanover, York County, be closed ou so- count of its fraudulent transactions. This company has carried £30,000,000 of insurance, and has been fleacing poli ey-holders right and left, but it did not propose to be “shown up” in the Court room 100 of its dupes ready to testify as to the way in which they had been swindled,” Mr. Weiss, counsel for the company, read a petition from President Bittinger requesting that the company be dissolved, because it could no longer do business under the act of 1878, The movement rather surprised the Commonwealth, but it assented, and the Court put the first graveyard company out of existence, appointing Mr. Weiss as its Receiver. There are rumors that other companies will pursue the same tactics when brought into Court, and some are so bad- ly scared that it is believed they are will- ing to dissolve without being urged by the Attorney General. ii eli erin M'Kee, chairman of the independent republican state committe, has issued a call for state a conference, in Philadel: phis, Jan. 12, to take into consideration the nomination of a candidate for gov- ernor and other state officers, 1¢ is said that Arthur does not favor the appointment of women to office, What will the office seeking sisses do now ?

Four Italian merchants have charge of the freight. a il a amin The intention of the bosses was to keep the Beaver arrangement quiet for a while so their sullied hands might not be seen upon General Beaver, but the Philadel. phis Times got wind of it and now the whole business is out. The truth of the matter is, General Bea ver would be stronger without this direct and early endorsement, thar with it, If he will keap company with the half-dozen bosses, there may be 60 to 100 thousand republican voters who may not wish to keep company with him when the elec- tion day comes around.

The Chica- go Tribune don’t pretend to disguise the character of the appointment Arthur is making and says: The intention of the administration at Washington seems to be to notify all per- sons concerned that “No Garfield men need apply.” Such is the obvious mean- ing of the Cabinet appointments that have been made or have been promised. It is a remarkable fact that the name of no man who fought for or with Garfle!d in the Chicago Convention has been mentioned in connection of the Cabinet appointments.

The.e Heute ist euch der Helland geboren, Christmas gives an excellent opportu. nity to speak of CHRISTMAS QUITS, Some of these gifts are more valuable than others, o. g., The mamma, the white stone, and the nsw name. The manna signifies Christ, the antitype of the mans na used by the Israelites in the wilder ness, Ex, 16: 33. Also the bread of life, John 8: 42. It signifies, moreover, the support which Christ furnishes believers in thia life, in the performance of duty, in temptation, persecution and death, And, finally, it means the glory and joy of the saints in Heaven, Rev, 3: 20; Math. 8:11; 2 Cor 4: 17, There are several allusions in the white stone. The first is to heathen courta—1f more white than black stones were cast into them, the accused was discharged. The second is to the Greek games, white stones being given to the victors, with the name of the victor and value of the prize on them, The while stone was the symlol of victory, The third is to a white lot cast in war to sig nify the cessation of hostilities, To spiritualize, the white stone may signi fy, acquital of the judgment of Jesus Christ, or justification by the grace of Jesus Christ, or the Holy Ghost, the wit ness of the Spirit that we are the chil dren of Ged, the earnest of the Heaven- ly inheritance, Rom. 8:16; Ep 4 30. The white stone does emphatically rep- resent the new heart and all the graces which constitute the new heart, Gald: 22, 23. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goods pess, faith, meekness, temperance, alc, The new name signifies the name of Jesus written on the heart, impressed on the soul, to indicate to whom we belong, whose servants we are, The lines of Charles Wesley are, theres fore, very appropriate : Thy name, gracious Lord, impart, Come quickly from above; Write Thy new name upon my heart— Thy new best name of love.

Lo! the star of His appearing, To His feet the Magi brings; Gold, and myrrh, and incense bringing, Crowning Him the King of kings. Earth and hes¥'n go forth to meet Him; Shall not we unite with them ? As our Prince and Savior greet Him, Blessed Babe of Bethlehem?

Wellington, Kan,, December 17.—The town of Caldwell was in the hands of a mob of cowboys torday and the authorities were powerless to do anything. Michael Meagher, formerly Mayor but lately Mar. shal of the town, has heen killed. The citizens quickly armed themselves aud mounting fleet horses mads a charge. The cowboys made brief rasistance, and being overpowerad broke and rode throurh the principal streets, pureued and pursuers discharging their rifles at ench other ss they rode. When the cowboys reached the depot they received an unexpeacted vollay which dismounted three of them, two being killed outright and one dangers ously wounded. The desperadoes then broke for the Indian Territory, a mile dis- tant, with the citizens closely on their trail, It is reported to-night that many of the cowboys huve been captured in the Territory and that severs! of them are wounded.

What was the coalition? It was to secure to the Republicans officers of a State. The Sen- ator from Ohio had said that much, but while yet the mouraing sobs of the peo ple were echoing around him, sat down and made the very appointments which that Judge had designated ss “cement. ing our coalition,” and then, perhaps with the same ink, had written & homily on Civil Service Reform, to be intro duced into his message to Congress, This was the way we were practicing CQivil Service Reform. Was the President to be blamed for this? Had he not a right to assume everybody in this country who talked about Civil Service Rrform was merely playing with the people?
