Beaver, Slitu-d l>> C«ur tieUl's Friend, T. H . Phillips. To the Editor of the Dispatch.] With your permission I will be pleased to say a few things in your columns in favor of the Independent movement now agitating the State. The effect of this movement, as I understand it, is to return to the prin ciples of the founders of the Republi can party —principles exemplified iu the lives and sealed by the death of its last great leaders, Lincoln and Garfield. When the foundation of the party was laid in justice and equal rights, the Bosses andspoils system were unknown to it. But now in the State of Penn sylvania leaders of the party have given place to Bosses and principles to Machine methods. The politician oc cupies the seat of the statesman, and the council chamber has become a star chamber. Intrigue is rewarded and ability punished. Tbe stream of gov ernment is lie poisoned at the fountain, and the sovereign voters are becoming corrupt, many looking forward to primary meetings and election day as a harvest in which to reap the wages of sin. May it not as truly be said now as it was of the Christian Church, that there are many false Republicans who have "arisen in these latter days who have deceived many, and if it were possible, some of the very elect." "The mystery of iniquity is already at work, and he who now hinders will hinder until be be taken out of the way." Has not the time arrived when judgment should begin in the Republican bouse and the Bosses who have polluted it, even worse than the money-changers did the Temple of God, should appear at the bar of an outraged people. Who made them rulers over you ? Have they humbled themselves that they should be exalted ? Do they ask or do they demand your suffrages in sup port of the ticket which they impose upon you ? THE HARRTSBURG TICKET. This brings me to consider the nom inations which were made iu Harris burgh on the 10th of May. How many people in this Commonwealth had privilege to express their choice at primaries or in public convention ? Out of 67 counties but few had wrested this privilege from the Bosses; tbe rest were represented by County Com mittees, who were not chosen for this purpose. Before supporting this Stalwart ticket let every voter ask : Was I con sulted individually or by my legally appointed representative in regard to the choice of this ticket ? It is impos ed upon me, or is it my own free will and choice? The convention at Har risburg was not Republican in its make-up or spirit. It was dominated by Boss rule and the small Stalwart Faction of the great party with Machine methods. It was acknowledged to be Stalwart, and was so called by leading papers advocating this faction, and that, too, without a blush, when the very word, as applied to politics, has become a stench and a hissing since it svas used in triumph by the assassin aver the prostrate form of the Nation's ruler! I come now to speak of persons nominated by this Stalwart Conven tion. Against General Beaver per sonally we have nothing to say. We Eire willing to grant all that political friends have to say in regard to his ability, character and sacrifice on the battlefield In this contest it is not the man we oppose, but the political principles he represents. Such a man as Beaver will perpetuate the domina tion of the Bosses and Stalwart faction much more surely than a man of less character and ability. If Republicans are called upon to support him because he was a brave soldier, why should they not have supported Hancock and many other Democrats from time to time for the same reason? There is no one good quality which he may possess, whether it be his bravery as a soldier, his ability as a public speaker, his character or attainments as a lawyer that have not been possessed by Dem ocrats for whom Republicans have re fused to vote times without number. Why then should or should we not vote for Beaver ? This question must be determined by his political standing and affiliations. He asks the suffrages of a political party, and is supposed to embody certain political principles. How are we to judge of these prin ciples? By a platform which was laughed to scorn when its planks were put under his feet, and has been openly and shamelessly violated since with his knowledge ? No! But by his past record and acts. I wish it to be borne in mind just here that General Beayer said in his speech of acceptance, "I have made no pledge to a living man «vs to what my future course shall be." Let us for a moment aualyze this sentence, which has been repeated to bis praise. Any confederation of men may select one of their number as a leader when bis past record is a pledge of his future loyalty. Why have a right to ask, nay, even demand "a pledge of what his future course shall be ?" Certainly not the Stalwarts or the 30G. His past record is a sufficient pledge to them. Who, then, should ask a pledge in regard to his "future course ?" NO STEP RETRACED. These only who do not want the history of the lasttwo years repeated. Has General Beaver retraced a step, retraced a word or confessed a political fault? If not, it is those who do not believe in his political words and deeds who want assurrance that be will sin no more against their political faith. Wo are opposed to Gen. Beaver because we cannot endorse his past political record, and he gives us no "pledge of what bis future course shall be." He comes to us from the Stalwart camp and commands an unconditional sur render. He comes to us first holding in his hands credentials from a packed i convention in Harrisburg to Chicago, marked "Unit Rule, 1880." He comes back to us from Chicago marked "30G" iu memory of the defeat of the trinuii as. He comes to us now rewarded for all this and more from the Boss-Stalwart convention of May 10th, as its nomi nee for Governor, and yet he gives us "no pledge of what bis futnre course shall be.'' If, then, General Beaver unjustly opposed the nomination of Blaine at Chicago against the will of his own constituents and a majority of the Republicans in the State; if, in order to accomplish this, he endorsed the uuit rule, which would destroy dis trict representations and perpetuate Boss dominion ; if he championed this rule and the cause which fell at Chicago, and was only revived by the assassin ; if he was first named, slated and finally nominated by the Stalwart Bosses ; if all this can truthfully be said of hitn politically, why should Republicans be censured for not supporting him, when they believe such principles and prac tices to be deadly political evils ? I oppose him because I believe he has championed the worst cause, and his election would be an endorsement of the worst political faction known to American politics. If the people of Pennsylvania who joined to defeat the Chicago scheme were right then, they would not be right now in joining to elect Beaver. To me the death of Gar field teaches one thing, while the elec tion of Beaver would teach another. I believe that we have a right to preach the death of Garfield, and tell the story of his life to reform this Nation and call on the Stalwarts to repent instead of becoming our rulers. In regard to the nominee for Lieutenant Governor, I have this to say : It is understood that Senator Davies was defeated as the Republican nominee for State Treasurer last year, because of the mortal wound of Garfield. He is now rewarded by his betrayers because he humbly sub mitted to this indignity and kissed the hand that smote him. THE INDEPENDENTS. The men who lead our columns were not slated, did not seek the place, but were asked to become standard bearers in this great battle for political freedom. They are men qualified by nature and culture to fill the high positions to which they are called. The Hon. John Stewart, who leads the ticket, was graduated at Princeton, served In the army, is a lawyer of high standing— distinguished as one of the framers of our present Constitution. He is an accomplished orator, a statesman of acknowledged ability, a member of our State Senate, and the champion of re form in this body where corruption has run riot for years. His past record is the best "pledge of what his future course will be." The whole ticket is composed of men who love the people's cause, who are able, true and patriotic, all but one having hazarded their lives that the nation might live, two having left limbs on the battlefield ; but now are fighting a brayer and nobler battle, against greater odds, for political and moral freedom. Such are the leaders in the conflict of the people with the Bosses, which is and will be the greatest war waged on American soil. This conflict, like that of slavery and freedom, is irrepressible, but threatens more directly the life of the Nation by subverting the sovereign will of the whole people. It requires but the casual reader of history to discover the same corrupt causes at work in this Government which have preyed upon the vitals, been visible in the death throes and ac complished the final dissolution of the greatest Nations of the earth. There can be no worse government than that of a corrupt populace. Political cor ruptionists are poisoning the great fountain of political life, and its streams are becoming corrupt and full of death. So corrupt has our politics become that many trood men turn from it with loathing and disgust, saying: "I won't dabble in politics ; It is a muddy pool." But they forget that down in the caucus primaries and committee rooms is generated the power which runs the Slate and Nation. If these great engines of power be given over to the corruptionists, with whom you 3ay you cannot mingle without becom ing contaminated, what is your hope in the future of this Government, which was established by our pilgrim fathers, to guarantee political and religious freedom ? Why oommit all your in terest to such men? If the growing disgust of the good citizens with poli tics continues it requires no prophet to tell that this State and Nation will 30on be hopelessly wrecked. Why ac cumulate property and provide homes for your children if the political stream is already so corrupt that you cannot drink from its fountain. Let me say to every good citizen who refuses to Lake part in politics because it is a niuduy, dirty, filthy pool, that you do a greyious wrong. The hope of our country is bound up in this very pool and your children will drink its deadly waters if you do not help to purify them now. You have no right to leave your posterity such a heritage of woe. ARTHUR'S NOMINATION. Space will not allow me to go into a history of the rise and progress of the spoils system and corruption, but will only briefly glance at some recent events. One outgrowth of this was the nomination at Chicago, for Vice President, of a New York politician who was dismissed from office by President Hayes upon this very ground, He was proclaimed President by an assassin, a Stalwart of Stalwarts. Not contented with his high position, and the control of the Governmeat and all its appointments, he has invaded the rights of the States, and (presumed to appoint a Governor of New York from his Cabinet, and now expects the peo ple of that great State to ratify bis ap pointment, the same as he did the Senate to confirm the appointment of Itoscoe Conkling. It is not difficult to see that the coming battle is not only with the Pennsylvania Bosses, but with his Imperial Majesty so lately shot into power, as well as with all those who represent these principles in National politics. It is a war of the soyereign people against usurers. It is to regain the right wrested from them ■, the right to chooße their rulers, instead of having them appointed by imperial Bosses and elected by assess j ments, bribery, corruption and fraud. What hope have the Stalwarts in electing their ticket? None, verily, except by using the corruption fund wrung from office-holders by enforced assessments, not only in violation of their platform, but in violation of the principles of honor, justice and right. I>aniel Webster aud President Hayes thought it sufficient ground for remov al from office when a federal officehold er paid an assessment levied on him for political purposes. But Cooper and Hubbell reverse this order and cause the discharge of officeholders for non-payment of assessments. Can so large a fund as is being collected by assessments and subscriptions be used by the "Regulars"—or rather Regula tors—in a legitimate way ? It is a well-known fact that a vast trade has been carried on for years by the Penn sylvania Bosses in the purchase of ballots ; in buying citizenship ; yet these corruptionists well knew that this crime, if punished as should be, would consign them and their victims to a felon's cell, and forever debar them of the right to vote or hold of fice in this State, and furthermore, that there is no law by which they could ever regain the'sacred right of citizenship, "although they might seek it carefully and with tears." Do they hope to win this election as they did others, by traffic in votes, by trading in soverignty, by enslaving liberty itself? As the campaign now stands there is not an informed man who can have the slightest hope of Beayer's election, without the whole sale purchase of citizenship in his be half. Sovereign voters, are you pre pared for thief? Prepared to lay down your at the feet of the Boss aud not only become bis slave, but a crim nal and outcast in the laud of equal rights and liberty ? No ; but rather smite the hand that offers the bribe in purchase of your honor, your maohood, everything you hold dear under the Government, which is yours and which you should preserve and transmit to posterity undiminished in glory. THE BOSSES' ARGUMENTS. I pass now to notice the arguments offered by these Stalwart nominees in favor of their own election. These may be summed in four points : The achievements of the Republican party, the tariff, the ascendancy of the Dem ocratic party in the State and endan gering Republican victory in 1884. While they laud the achievements of the Republican party they forget that what is accomplished for the Nation is one thing and what its Boss legislation has done in our State is quite a dif ferent thing. While, on the one hand its deeds have been glorious, on the other, it has made Pennsylvania poli tics and Pennsylvania legislation a stench in the nostrils of the Nation. This last dark chapter they do not read. In regard to the tariff it might be well to state here that no Senator, nominee or prominent man in the In dependent party has threatened it in case of defeat. Can they say as much ? A tariff is fully endorsed by the platform. This question is only rais ed as a blind. It is well known to be practically settled in Pennsylvania. In regard to defeating the Stalwart party and permitting the Democratic party to succeed, my answer is two fold First, our principles are right, and being right they must and will prevail. Second, while the coming into power of the Democratic party may not be desirable, yet this same cry against all reform movements, both in Church and State, has been raised from time immemorial It has been met and fully answered times without number. It requires but a glance at the grand sweep of reform in all ages to see that if such a silly cry had been heeded that dark ness would "cover the earth and gross darkness the people." In re gard to their last point, we feel as sured that if Beaver is elected in Pennsylvania and Folger in New York by corrupt methods, which must be their only hope, it will be a vin dication of the spoils system, and all the corrupt machinery and patronage in State and Nation will immediate ly brought to bear to secure the nom ination of a spoils man for President in 1884, which will ultimate in de feat, or a success which will be still more ignominious than defeat. The Independents are fighting this battle, not only for the present, but for 1884 and for all time. There can be no hope of success in 1884 except by the overthrow of the methods which dominate in Pennsylvania now. This is the only organized move ment in State or Nation inspired by the death of Garfield, and which has inscribed upon its banners these prophetic words : "The cause for which Garfield died must not be lost." In the light of history we plainly read that if its principles do not finally triumph our Government will be hopelessly wrecked and Garfiajd shall have died in vain. His death stirred the Nation and world as no human death has done in all the annals of recorded time. He died at the head of the most advanced Nation smitten by the hand of a fit representative of the most dire system of political wrong which has yet assailed free govern, ment. Do not those who are in this movement understand the lesson of Garfield's death ? Can they not see in it the final subversion of all their lib erties, unless the great evil is crushed beneath the indignant tread of brave people as they march on to poseas and hold the ground on which their ad vanced and chosen leader fell ? While this movement first began in Penn sylvania, it will not end here, but will will go on and on, over all the land, until State, Territory and Nation shall be purified, redeemed and lifted up to the high position which God and its founders designed, and for which its heroes fought and martyrs died.

Alone. Tbe London Lancet relates a dis tressing case of suicide of a boy ten years old, who bad been shut up in bis bodroom as a puuisbruent. Tbe editor comments adversely on lea ring children or young persons and tbe weakly or troubled in mind alone : '"The solitary state is abhorrent to the nature and miud of man. Whe:ber the brain be immature iu its develop ment or morbid in its state, it is wrong in a scientific sense—that is, opposed to tbe laws aud teachings of physiologi cal science—to leave it alone. Tbe possibility—we will even concede tbe probability—of a subsidence of excite ment is not a sufficient set-off against the dangers of a self-destructive intel lectual activity. Tbe mind always works to its own injury wben it works aiuue. inflection, introspection, and self-examination are essentially ab normal processes. The proper action of mind is on the outer world, or on such conceptions of fact aud object as may be readily corrected by preseot observation or experience. Abstract processes of thought are never safe lor the young or the weakly and troubled in mind. Healthy activity, so far as these two conditions of mind are con cerned, is directly relative. It is not good for man to be alone in auy sense. We would therefore again protest against the recourse to solitary con finement as a punishment for children, and against 'seclusion' in any form for the unsound of mind. The two methods of treatment&tand 03 the same footing, and they are both equally bad." Mooualrnck. "Tbe 6un shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night." This beautiful verse expresses tbe belief, com mon in ancient days, that the moon-ex ercises a baleful influence upon those exposed to her direct rays In modern times, tbe pernicious influence of the moon has been doubled and even denied. But jvhatever the influenoe of the moon in the temperate zones, withia the tropics it is very injurious to sleep exposed to its rays, especially when at the full. On a voyage to the Antipodes, when near the line, a Maltese sailor, who was a most com ical fellow, slept for some hours on the boom with his face toward the full moon. On awaking in the morn ing, the muscles on the right side of the face were contracted, so that every attempt to speak was attended with tbe most ludicrous contortions. Feel ing sure that something was seriously wrong, he spoke to another sailor, who, supposing that as usual he was at bis old tricks, burst out into laughter. Off he went to another, with exactly the same result. The poor fellow now ?ot into a rage, thereby adding not a little to the ludicrousness of tbe scene. After awhile the truth dawned upon the captain and officers of the vessel The ioctor gave him some medicine, the muscles gradually relaxed, and in the course of a week our Maltese friend was well again. Some five or six years igo, when sailing from Tahiti to Man yaia, a little boy of mine, in perfect bealth, was thoughtlessly placed by bis nurse in his berth, the slanting beams of tbe moon falling on his face. Next morning he was feverish and ill, and it was two or three days before he was himself again. On the island of Aituka, a native woman was watching night after night for the return of her husband from the island of Atiu. Whilst doing so one night she fell asleep, the moon's rays pouring upon her face. On awaking she felt ill, and her eyes were drawn on one side. Considerable interest was felt by the islanders in her case. Eventually, however, her eyes were restored. These facts illustrate the iujnry done to human beings in the topics. Yet I never beard of insanity or death re sulting from this cause. It is well known, however, in tropical countries that the moon's rays occasion the rap id decomposition of flesh and fish. A number of bonatis baring been caught one evening near the line by a friend of mine, the spoil was bung up in tbe rigging of the ship, and was ex posed to the moon through the night. Next morning it was cooked for break feast. Symptoms of poisoning were soon exhibited by all who partook of it—their heads swelling to a great size, etc. Emetics were promptly administered, and happily no one died. The natives of tbe South Pacific are careful never to expose fish (a constant article of diet in many islands) to the moon's rays by any chance.
