Alphonso, th-i present King of Spam,
was recently cn a pleasant trip through
Europe. On vi-iting Berlin, Germany f
he accepted an honor tendered him of
commanding a regiment of hlan
soldier.', on a State occasion. No part
of the German army is so hated in
France as the Uhlans, as they had dis
tinguished themselves in the late war
between Germany and France for their
cruelty. Consequently when Alphonso
reached Paris be was hooted at and iu.
Bolted by the French populace. This
insult has led to a serioo.s affair between
Spain and France and great excitement
at present exists between those Gov
ernments on the subject. _
THE long-delayed pension list has
been made public at last. It shows
that, of the 34,000 Government
pensioners in Pennsylvania, 7000 live
iu Philadelphia, and, concerning the
small army of maimed veterans and
orphans of soldiers and sailors, the offi
cial publication gives some very inter
esting facts and figures. Probably not
one reader out of ten is aware that a
soldier in the war of the rebellion could
draw the sum of $1 monthly for the 10.-s
of tbe top of a finger, or that $72 per
month is the compensation allowed one
of tbe country's defenders for losing his
eyesight. Neither is it uninteresting
to know that there are still fifty-five
derrepid survivors of the war of 1812,
who draw regularly tba sum of $8 on
the Ist of each mouth, as a sort of tardy
reward for having stood before the
British bayouets at New Orleans, or
for serving their country under the gal
lant Perry or the inteprid Decatur.
And then the hosts of heroes' widows,
who were young ami happy brides
more than a half a century ago—what
a long list of them are printed year
after year, without any material do
crease in their number. From what
long-lived families they must have
sprung, and how they lasted all these
years.— Indiana (Pa.) Mowenjer.
SOLDIERS' DAY.
Thousands of People in Butler.
Yesterday, Oct. 1 88.'5 was a day
long to be remembered. It wa< a very
pleasant one and all had expected that
a Soldiers' lie-union would bring the
soldiers of the county together. And
BO it did. The nurviving soldiers of
Butler county were tftnerally on band
and a more pleasant re-union could not
ha7e t.ken place.
But the great number of other citi
zens who came and were here yesterday
astonished all. The people of the
county generally seemed to be on band.
Fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers
came. Fanners with their whole
families came Many of the soldiers
Drought their wives and children along,
and when all these had assembled on
the Fair (Jrounds the crowd seemed
to equal if not excel any number yet
meetiug there
The procession formed in town and
marched to the grounds in regular mili
tary order, with banners and music, ac
cording to arrangements. On reach
ing there the vast crowd was welcom
ed in an eloquent speech by Col. John
M. Thompson, i'l his best style. Then
Kev. Col. John A. Danks, of Taran
turn, sang one of his patriotic airs, as
only he cau sing them. The Itev. N.
E. Wade, of Hukcrstown. formerly of
this county, responded.to the welcome.
Tiieu private John J. McGarvey, of
Mercer twp , recited ' Sheridan's Hide
at Winchester." lie was followed by
A. 11. Mays, Esq., of the Pittsburgh
liar, formerly of Xelienople,this county.
The assemblage was then dismissed
for dinner, ' bean soup and coffee"
which all citizens as well as soldiers
highly relished. There was plenty of
it, well prepared, as well as plenty of
other refreshments on the ground. It
was pleasant to see all enjoying them
selves so well and so orderly.
After dinner the people again assem
bled about the mu.iic stand and were
a ldrtH"ed by Col. Archibald Blalcclcy,
of Pittsburgh, who piid an eloquent
tribute to his old county of Sutler and
her soldiers in the late war. Mr. Isaiah
Black, of Franklin, Pa., by request
then recited the story of Barbara
Fntchie, whieh he did well. fiuu.
John N. I'urviance then addressed the
people on the events of the late wur in
an interesting manner. lie was fol
lowed by Col. O C. Kedie, of Alle
gheny twp., in some well delivered
and patriotic remarks. Samuel J'.
Irvine, Esq , spoke for the Pennsyl
vania Militia who were called into the
service, in some well chosen and ap
propriate remarks. Kev, Ferguson
w:i 1 then called for and in a clear and
fore.hie manner reminded the people of
the causes and effects of the late strug
gle. Capt. (». \V. Fleeger spoke on
th'j subject of the "Private Soldier,"
Hon. S II Miller, on the "Absent
Sddier," Itev. W. 11. MeKinney on
the "Soldier.,' Orphan," Mr. Reuben
MeElv.iin 011 "liospital Experience,"
and Simeon N'ixjoon "Our Cavalry."
This closed the speaking when the
people dispersed for their homes, order
ly and quietly, and all expressing them
selves highly ple.tsed with the grand
success of the <.'casiou.
At night 11 riveting waf held in the
Court lion-eat whicti the speaking

airs by lt< v. Dink-.and A (1. Williams,

OHIO ELECTION.
At the time of going to press the re- i
suit of the election in Ohio yesterday
seems to be cl<>se. The Democrats ■■
claim the Governor and tbe Repabli- ■
cans tbe Legislature. The reports are !
favorable to tbe success of the Prohibi
tory liquor amendment to the Consti
tution of that State. This, if true, will
l»e cheering news all over the iand.
The people of Ohio were brought face
to face with ibe liquor question, and if
they have decided to prohibit its man
ufacture and sale it will be encourage- |
ment to all other States to do likewise.
Burning of the Exposition.
An account of the burning of the
Pittsburgh Exposition P>uilding, on
the morning of the 2d, inst., will be j
found upon the first page of the CITI
ZEN this week. No fire in this section
of the country for along time, was so
destructive o.* caused so much regret.
It came unexpected and disappointed
many who had not a3 yet visited the
Exposition. Tbe loss of tbe building
is doubtless a serious one to the com.
pin v, but the loss of so many valuables
on exhibit by private individuals, is
tbe more serious Everything was, in
a very short time reduced to ashes.
About 0,000 articles, many of them be
ing relics of either rare age or value,
were lost forever. Among them, we
see it stated, was the sword worn by
General Anthony Wayne; Black
Hawk's tomahawk; a knife of King
Henry 11, of England; relics from Fort
Duqucsne and Braddock's Field; Rebel
relics; many old and rare pictures and
paintings; old coins and books and
other rarities; fine jewelry and curiosi
ties of all kinds and from all parts.
Tbe loss of all these, with tbe fine
furniture, machinery, etc., is much to
be regretted as they can never l>e re
placed. The total loss is estimated at
a million of dollars, and all insurance
is stated at SIOO,OOO. The loss to
Pittsburgh is very great, and another
building, it is said, is already contem
plated.
Mr. Niles' Speech.
Hon. Jerome 15. Niles, Republican
candidate for Auditor General, and a
member of the present House of the
Legislature, made a speech iu that body
last week on the merits of the different
bills for districting the State now be
fore the Legislature. His speech is
able and clear and presents the Repub.
lican side in its strongest and best
light. In regard, to the formation of
new Senatorial districts his argument
is particularly fair and able. In fact
his whole array of figures and facts, in
regard to both Legislative and Con
gressional district making, is presented
in so temperate and skillful a manner
as to command respect and attention.
If we lay aside the only requirements
of the Constitution for districting the
Stc'.e after population—to-wit: com
pactness and contiguity of territory as
near as may be, then this argument,
and all such founded upon similar
premises, would be conclusive. But
how all parties in the present Legisla
ture got so far away from the law and
the only true rules for the forming dis
tricts, is difficult to see. The volen of
Republican, or of Democratic counties,
or their whole populations taken as
such, in a party way, really should not
be considered and apportionments made
on such a basts must be; fallacious.
However, it is very natural for each
party to strive to obtain the most pos
sible under present circumstances.
Where the Republicans of the State
have the most cause of complaint is iu
the action of the Senate, in refusing to
receive, or consider, any of the recent
bills or propositions made on p:irtof the
House. This put an end to all effort to
secure the passage of any apportion
ments. A much better way would
have been to have kept tin: question
open for discussion, deliberation and
possible success in obtaining finally all
that was just and fair.
Bald Rldgc Items.
Eos. ClTt'/.KN :—The people of Bald
Ridge had a grand time on Thursday
and Friday evenings, <)<:tober 4th and
fith. As a general thing, in a place the
size of Raid Ridge, there will be a
sprinkle of children and it is necessary
to give them an education, and to do
that you must have a place to educate
them ill. The directors of I'enn town
ship agreed to furnish and pay a teach
er if the citizens would furnish a house.
The great pouring out of the people on
the evenings mentioned would convince
nil that they were determined to make
it a success. It appeared us if they had
came from Dan to Ueersheba, the
place where it was held was cramed
like sardines in a box, and the success
of the undertaking must be credited to
the entire town and neighborhood, but
special credit is due to the managers of
the concern. There were '4 tables laden
down with the good things of this life,
and they were charged the small sum
of Bf> cents per meal. The receipts of
the first night amounted to and
$1 <; the second night, enough to repair
and make the house comfortable for the
children this coming winter. They
had provided themselves with an organ
and a splendid organist, and a violin to
accompany it; the violinist jannot be
surpassed in the State, The singing,
playing and eating were crrried on till
the eleventh hour, and all went home
two and two, thinking that it was good
for them to be there, and the wish of
the writer is that it my be repeated
often, although he must confess it Is a
little hard on the purse. Theeatibles that
were left were disposed of like former
slaves of the south, they were knocked
down to the highest bidder, and sum
ming all together the whole receipts
amounted to SD)S.

Judge Agnew on the Political
Situation.
Ex-Chief Justice Agnew sends the
followiug letter to the editor of the
Philadelphia Press, upon the political
1 situation in Pennsylvania :
Sat: On returning this week froru
Ohio I found your letter of the 10th
■ instant, inviting a "free and candid ex
pression" of my views, as a Republican,
"on the situation of the State at large"
and "the condition of the party in ujv
; locality."
I am, as you know, a Republican in
! the essential principals of the party,
yet not a mere partisan ; and certainly
as far as the poles asunder from the ex
pectation or preferment of office. What
I have to say, therefore, will be as im
-1 partial as it is free and candid.
I have seen the rise of two great
parties, the Whig and Republican.
Kach was founded on tbe essential
principles of good government. The
Whig arose from the course of the ad
ministration of President Jackson
causing the downfall of a true Ameri
can policy, embracing internal improve
ments of national importance, the prop
er distribution of public lands, and a
system of federal currency in opposition
to that of State banks ; and also in the
claim of the President to control the
purse of the nation as well as to hold
its sword, and to intrepret the Consti
tution of the United States for himself
in disregard of the decision of the Su
preme Federal Judiciary. The oppo
nents of these invasions of popular
rights, perceiving their resemblance to
the Tory claim of royal prerogatives in
England and in the 'colonies, took the
name "Whig" to denote their patriotic
remonstrance against autocratic aggres
sion.
The death knell of the Whig party,
by division north and south, rang out
in the acts of Congress in 1854, which
wrested a territory devoted to freedom,
at.d prostituted it to the curse of slavery.
The Republican party, the lineal de
scendant of the northern half of the
Whig party, took its rise in the defense
of the principles of American liberty,
invaded by the Dred Scott decision,
and the repeal of the Missouri com
promise, carrying slavery into free ter
ritory ; and in the persistent effort of
the slave States, by free trade, to re
duce the price of American fabrics to
those of England and the continent, in
order to increase the purchasing power
of cotton.
These parties, the Whig and Repub
lican, were the true representatives by
inheritance of the principles derived
from I'uritari and Hugenot ancestors,
pronounced in the Declaration of Inde
pendence and the hills of rights of the
States, asserting the liberties of the
people drawn from Magna Charta and
true Anglo-Saxon justice.
The Republican party thus founded,
borne down for a while by mere ma
ehinejy, is, by the reaction of 1882,
again arising to its original stand of
fundamental principles ; and, therefore,
will be successful in the future, as it
has l/ceri in the past, if the methods of
recent years be not revived, and if the
reform of 1882 shall be continued iu
the free spirit of popular liberty in
nominations and elections.
In 1882, the Republicans divided be
cause of a machinery which disregarded
the true voice of the people. Rut, with
the leform in popular representation, it
has become solid, for Republicans are
solid in fundamentals, and all they de
sire to know is that their principles are
supported by their own chosen and
faithful agents. No great party can
exist in this enlightened country which
is not founded in l ight, justice, liberty
and the welfare of tint people. This is
an essential, for, though parties may
differ upon measures, our people have
the sense and the conscience to know
that any other foundation is contrary
to their own interests and the law of
true government. IJut when machinery
usurps popular power and holds our
destiny in its hand, corruption is inevit
able and the heart rot begins. There
can be no dependence in its ageutw.
The return of Republicans to the
trim principles on which the parly rests
gives assurance of victory now and in
1881 ; while this is strengthened by
the fundamental error of its opponents
in the persistent attempt of one branch
of the State government, ami that the
inferior in legislation, to coerce the leg
islative branch against its conscience
and sense of right.
In my own locality I am glad to bo?
lieve that there is no serious division
among Republicans, and that with an
honest administration of the party
organism, success will follow.
Respectfully, etc.,
BANIKI, AMNCW.
Otio of tho Pension Swindlers.
Proofs of the disgraceful methods
employed by the adventurer Fitzgerald
in swindling soldiers who have applied
for pensions through him are accumu
lating, a small batch of them being
presented this morning. These sh >w
that his plans for getting money are
not a whit above those of the common
blackmailer or tho policy swindler. The
use ot assumed names for firms has
been a fertile method of exacting money,
and these were simply conducted by
some of the clerks or members of his fam
ily as stool pigeons No disreputable
scheme for bleeding his willing ami
anxious victims has been overlooked or
neglected.
And yet thirf lunu has been permit
ted to carry on his business with the
indorsement of the I ntcrior I >cpartifteiit,
before which he has been a recognized
practitioner, and that, too, in spile of
thu l\u:I that his methods have been
known for year* fjuite as well as they
are now. It was he wljo organized,
directed and gucceHHfully carried ou th;j
fight against Commissioner Huntley,
who had exposed his fchcmcs and
recommended his disbarment from
practice before the bureau. If Com
missioner Dudley has any regard for
honesty or for the decent management
of the great trust imposed upon him,
he cannot better demonstrate it than by
expelling this adventurer from all con
nection with tiiu pension business and
by denouncing him in a lulU-i' over his
own name as au adventure* u<;<J
swindler.—/!>'•/;.

The Three-Cent Stamp.
Good-by, old stamp ; it's nasty luck
That ends our friendship so ;
When others failed you gamely stuck.
But uow you've got to go.
So here's a Hood of honest tears,
And here's an honest sigh—
old friend of many years—
Good-by, old namp, good-by !
Your life has been a varied one,
With curious phrases fraught—
Sometimes a check, sometimes a dun,
Your daily coming brought;
Smiles to a waiting lover's face,
Tears to a mother's eye.
Or joy or pain to every place—
Good-by, old stamp, good-by !
You bravely toiled, and better men
Will vouch for what I say :
Although you have been licked, 'twas when
Your face turned t'other way.
'Twas often in u box you got
(As you will not deny)—
Forgoing through the mails, I wot—
Good-by, old stamp, good-by!
Ah, in your last expiring breath
The tale of years is heard
The sound of voices hushed iu death,
A mother's dying word,
A maideu's answer, soft aud sweet,
A wife's regretful sigh.
The patter of a baby's foot
Good-by, old btamp, good-by !
The Campaign.
In this campaign a Republican can
be hopeful without being red-headed.
All the signs of the timeß point to
complete Republican unity, not only in
I'ei.nsylvania, but in all of the States
swept by the tidal wave of last year,
which began at Massachusetts and
llowed on with little interruption across
the continent to the Pacific Ocean. It
covered Massachusetts, Connecticut,
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michi
gan, Indiana, Kansas, Colorado aud
California In all of these States the
advices show that the situation has al
most completely changed, and these
changes are far more favorable to re
newed Republican strength than were
those which followed the reverses of
1874.
Pennsylvania has taken the lead ia
the work of recuperation and re-union,
and the differing Republican organiza
tion* of last year—however they njay
have regarded each other then—wisely
sowed the seed for a most rapid and
complete recovery. In no other State
did the dissatisfied element organize
separately, and the efforts made both
before and during the canvass with a
view to unity and peace, did much to
•poften the asperities of faction. It only
needed a common calamity, and subse
quent misbehavior of a triumphant
common enemy, to bring all Republi
cans together.
It can lie said with almost absolute
truth that every Republican element in
Pennsylvania is now moving together
in harmony. There is no reason why
it should be otherwise. TLe reforms
which were properly demanded as to
the conduct of the party, are now living
realities. The purity of the primaries
is now protected by the Landis bill, a
Republican measure. The principles
and methods laid down by the Contl ,
nental Conference, have beeu endorsed
by Republican Conventions, and are
now the admitted rules and practices of
the party. The laws of Congress and
of Pennsylvania reach all civil service
abuses, and they are faithfully observed
by tne Republican State Committee—
so well observed that its subscription
letters have received the endorsement
of Commissioner Katon, and other
prominent advocates of civil service re
form. AII proper complaints have been
heeded, and there is little if any room
evert for captiousness—a condition of
affairs happier than any which have
obtained in the Republican party for
the past ten years.
The only fear entertained is that the
average Republican voter will rely too
much upon union aud harmony, and
because of this reliance be too easy
about getting out the full Republican
vote. The present Democratic appeal
is to get out not less than eighty per
cent, of the Democratic vote in each
and every election district, and this de
mand for a percentage wi|l be increased
to ninety or uvea more jf needed befopp
election day. The Republicans should
everywhere—in minority aud majority
districts—in each and every place,
excel the efforts of the Democrats to
make such a victory as Republicans
deserve and dex ire.
