Washington, D. C., August 15, 1882,
Sin—Your failure to respond to the
ciren'ar of May 15, 1882, sent to you by
this committee, is noted with surprise.
It is honed that the only reason for such
failure is that the matter escaped your at-
tention owing to press of other cares,
Great political battles cannot be won
in this way. This committee cannot
hope to succeed in the pending struggle
if those most directly benefitted by sue-
cess are unwilling or neglect toaid ina
substantial manner,
with a conflict before us, this fall, of great

Unless you think that our grand old
party ought not to succeed, help it now
in which there she'l be, as in the North,
a free ballot and a fair count, and to
maintain such hold in the North as shall
insure good government to the country.
It is hoped that by return mail you
will send a voluntary contribution equal
to two per cent. of your annual compen:
sation, as a spbstantial proof of your

That settles it. The “grand old party”
cannot wiz battles “in this way"—that is,
without money. The ideathat the grand
old party does business exclusively on
wrinciple is too antiquated to be endura-
le. ft is money that makes the party
go, and as no one who is not interested
in a job cares to contribute to the main-
tenance of a lot of other jobbers “this
committee cannot hope to succeed if
those most directly benefited by success
are unwilling or neglect to aid in a sub-
stantial manner.” It is pretty hard on a
grand old party to get down to where it
cannot live without robbing the families
of underpaid office-holders; still, facts are

The Democrats carried the 1

revolution was mainly caused by the ex.
cesses of Girantism, The people rose up
and reboked the corruption of Grant's
first term, They compelled the Wash
ington Ripog, the Whisky Ring, the lo-
dian Ring, the Postal Ring, the Army
Ring, the Navy Ring, the Land Ring,
and other organized Rings to suspend
operations. They broke up much of the
stealing that had been common in all
the departments, and they forced the
Republicans to abandon venal practices
that bad disgraced the Administration.
The Democrats came in pledged to re-
trenchment and reform, and they kept
faith with all their obligations. The
record of the Forty-fourth Congress is an
honorable witness of the fidelity and of
the zeal with which every pledge was
redeemed. They reduced the apporpri-
ations many millions the first year,
against bitter opposition of the Republi.
can Benate, and against the false cry
that the reductions would cripple the
public service. That good work was
continued, though perhaps with less
vigor than should have been exhibited.

shipping of beefby the carcass was con-
fined to about three firms, and that to-
gether they were shipping to the East

loads a day, or about 1,500 dressed cattle.
They were all shipped in refrigerator cars
—some by express and others by freight
—and the meat was being dellivered as
fresh and sweet as it was when it came
from the slaughter-house, It was found
also that the trade was rapidly growing,
and the consequence was that the ship-
ping of live cattle and cut meats was fall-
ing off accordingly, and the indications
were that at some not far distant day all
the meat supplied by the West to the
Eastern cities would be killed and dress-
ed in Chicago. The principal advantage
of shipping the meat dressed over the
. old custom of shipping it on the hoof, is
saving in freight.

some go and hold others. Although we
have been “socked,” we doubt whether
there is any old law to fall back upon,

The shove furnishes a true and fair
sample of the difference it makes in ex~
penditures in the national and state gov-
ernments, between democratic and re
publican rule; economy being found ens
tirely with the democrats and extragance
with the republicans, and this difference
running into hundreds of millions, ss the
official reports show, from which we have
gathered them for the information of
honest voters. .
Now let us go to the home of Pattisen,
Philadelphia, plundered for thirly years
by republican rings and as all know, tax.
ed to death under boss rule, We wish
to show the good effect of Patlison's work
there, and that democratic rule has prov
on beneficial to that great city.
Pattison as controller -has power over
the expenditures, and an honest man in
that place, as Pattison has proven to be,
can do much to stop fraud and stealing.
Under republican managemert Philas
delphia’s debt and tax-rate has been in-
creased each year. In 1800 the debt was
$21,826,750.84, this the republicans ran up
to the enormous sum of $73,674,146 92 in
1877. The cost of the depariments, in the
same period kept creeping up from $2+
682,648.18 in 1860 to 8 and 10 millions
since. The tax-rate they ran up to 2.25.
In 1879 Mr. Pattison was elected con-
troller, and on account of his good man-
agement, be has been continued in the po~
sition to this day, altho’ the city is largely
republican. Now from 1878 to 1832 Patti-
son has already reduced the debt from
$73,615,851-70 to $68,620403.72. What a
handsome showing, and no wonder the
tax-ridden citizens have re-elected Patti-
son. The tax-rate in the same time has
been reduced from 2.25 to 1.90, and Patti.
son still keeps on in the good work.
Four millions saved per year, under
Pattison, to the people of Philadelphia, iis
a big thing, and no such showing can be
made for the Agricultural College under
Beaver's management,
Now lets have Patlison’'s management
introduced in Harrisburg. Let the politi.
eal pick«pockets be put out, and Pattison
putin. Clean out the Augean stables, and
have our state expenditures reduced.
Let the cry be, Pattison and Reform,
and no more pick pocket rule!

THE LIFE OF GENERAL BEAVER.
A stranger, in reading the life of Gen.
Beaver, would think that he was the
greatest military officer that this State
sent to the war during the great rebel-
lion. It is so highly colored, so offen-
sively egotistical that the General would
have done himself credit to have sup-
ressed it, or at least stated that it was
issued without his consent or approval.
He is counted the central figure, the
leading military character, Gen. Han.
cock, Gen, Reynolds, Geary, Heintgleman,
and a score of others are mere cyphers
compared with the Republican candidate
for Governor, Such a work is bard to
sell, The Harrisburg Patriot states that
“one dollar was all that was asked for a
copy of Beaver’s life, substantially bound
in cloth, a few weeks ago. Colporteurs
were gent out to sell it to Stalwart ad-
mirers and Stalwart hewspapers appealed
to the public to buy it. But it was no
go. A cheaper edition for twenty-five
cents and no postage was bony but
still the voters did not want it, and now
the Stalwart State committee is offering
it to all who may desire it without money
and without price. Next week, it is said,
a fine chromo will be presented to all who
will take a copy of the book, and as the
cimpaign progresses no doubt other and
greater inducements will be offered. The
trouble, however, lies in the subject and
notin the style of the work or the mane

Thie is abig grist in the opposite direc-

for the abolishing of offices and a saving
of salaries. For bread they are given
the roughest of stones ; it is the kind of

AN EGYPTIAN EXECUTION,
Alexandria, July 28. —As I was driving
this morning to the Rasel Tin Palace 1
mot Major Franch, of the Royal marines,
and about thirly Egyptian policemen,
each with a blue ribbon tied about the left
arm as a sign of loyally tothe Khedive.
Bebind these policemen were three Egype
tisns handcuffed and being led by ropes
tied around their necks. They wore noth.
ing but long blue gowns—the galicich~—
and the middle Egyptian strongly resems
bled Barabbas as presented in the Ober
Ammergau Passion Play. Bebind the
three Egyptians was a carriage containing
a physician—Dr. Londinski-—and three
aitendants. 1 told the driver of my car
:
{see the Egyptian execution, and also Lo see
{how the Arab population of Alexandria
would behave when they saw one of their
brethern shot by Fgyplian soldiers at the
| digtation of an English subsltern,
The procession psgsed through all the
streets of Alexandria, and before we had
proceeded a quarter of a mile we were fol
lowed by about six bhuadred Arabs, In
the Rue des Socurs—where the famous
massacre of Europeans commenced last
month, and where the principal malefac
tor at the head of our procestion was prov.
od by the Mixed Police Tribunal to have
murdered at least three Europeans-—we
made a short halt. Proceeding again to
the Palace des Consver, and marching
through the Boulavard de Bamleh, we
passed through the Eastern Gale, and are
rived st Pompey's Pillar, where another
short balt was made, We marched
through the small Arad village of Car
moos, and arriving st a hollow among the
Roman catacombs we found a newly made
grave. The principal malefactor—the
man who resembled Barabbas—was then
blindfolded and forced to stand at the end
of the grave that had been dug for him.
t the English subaltern’s direction five
gyptisan endarmes advanced within ten
aces of the man condemped jo death.
be other two eriminals, who had been
convicted of stealing, were made to stand
facing the grave and so that they could
best appreciate the example that was
about to be offered them. The five Egyp~
tian gendarmes levelled their Remington
rifles at the man sentenced to death, But
at the command “'Firel” from their ser
goant thehammaers of their rifles simply
clicked upon the cartridges, which turned
out $o be damp and useless. After a de
lay of five mingtes—which must have
seomed like five hours to the malefagtor—
new catridges wore obtained and the five
gendarmes again levelled their rifles—but
with the same result, New cartridges
wero then distributed. The command,
“Fire!” was then a third Lime given. And
for the third time there was only a click
inthe pan, and the wretched malefactor
still stood at the head of his grave tremb-
ling with suspense, Now cartridges were
then obtained from tho magazine—about
a mile distant—and now for the fourth
time the five gendarmes advanced, aimed
their rifles at the unfortunate devil, and,
at the command, “Firel'' a rattling re-
ort was heard, and the convict fell into
Bis grave. The doctor stepped forward
and found that he had only been hit by
two bullets—one tearing through bis neck,
and the other making a hole in his leg
The man was now pulled out of his grave
and propped up so that ho could be again
ghot at. In the meantime he begged and
implored for somebody to come and run a
bayonet through his heart. The five
Egyptian gendarmos, however, sgain ads
vanced, this time (o within about eight
paces of their target, and for the fifth time
tho command was given to fire. The ro-
sult of this fusillade was that he was rids
dled with bullets, not one of which, how-
ever, had struck him in a vital spot, sand
the man was still writhing in the dust,
covered with streams of blood, The ser-
geant of gendarmes then camo forward,
put the muzzle of a rifle to the poor man's
oar, pulled the trigger and the cartridge
happened to be a good one-the man's
hand was blown to pieces, Just as the res
maing of the convict were being buried
aman near by mo shouted in Arabic,
ow is the time to kill more Christians!”
Looking around me I found that besides
three English officers, a fow newspaper
correspondents and some dozon European
spectators the whole assembly, of i, a
a thousand persons, were all Arabs, There
was no English post within the distance
of half a mile. A young employe in the
Eastern Telegraph Company promptly
collgred tho Arab who had uttered the
dangerous cry und the gendarmes took
him in charge, and, together with the two
thieves who had been brought vut to wits
nees the execution, he was handcuffed and
marched to the police station in Alexan-

Invitation,
Strangers are invited to visit
our store, when in Philadel-
phia, to leave packages there,
and to make a convenience
of it generally. Itisa handy
lace, right by the new City
all, at the very center of the
city, Itanswers our purpose
to welcome dis and to pro-
vide for such of your wants
as we can.
The store is about twice
as large as it was two or
fhree years ago; made so by
digging under ground and
building overhead, and by ex-
tension on Chestnut street.
Parts of the store are about
as comfortable as any place
can be; and one of the most
comfortable parts is now be-
ing got ready for the rest and
refreshment of strangers.
« One of the pleasant things
about the store always has
been the fact that you can
walk all over it, either alone
or with a guide, without ever
being asked to buy a thing.
We know very well that most
of you come to us for a good
share of ygur supplies; why
should we spoil your visit by
intruding goods upon your
attention, when you come to
see the place?
2 But perhaps you are not
coming to Philadelphia just
now. Very well; take a cool-
er time. [t's cool enough in
the store, when you get here.
You can write for any goods
that you may happen to
want; and get them, proba-
bly, just as well as if you
were on the spot. Any how,
you know, you can return
whatever you get that you
don't like.
We sell more sorts of
things than we can put into
an advertisement. So, what-
ever you want, suppose you
drop us a line. We'll help
you if we can.
