SAIVERSVILLK, PA., MARCH 14th, 1896.
MR. EDITOR: —
Owing to reasons entirely per
sonal I have concluded to withdraw mv
name as a candidate for Assembly at the
Republican Primaries on the 28th. inst.,
and in doing so express my most sincere
thanks to my many friends throughout
the county for promised support and
kindlv feeling tendered me.
Had I received the nomination and
been elected I would have most earnestly
endeavored to do my duty as a member
in the House, and as far as possible ad
vanced the interests of my native county,
Butler. Should I have failed in receiv
ing the nomination my most hearty sup
port would have been given all the nom
inees upon the ticket, as I have been a
Republican all my life and always rejoice
at its success and progress.
In retiring from the canvass 1 do so
without desiring to favor any special can
didate or interest. I am, as ever,
Yours Truly,
MATTHEW N. GREER.

Militia Out in Kentucky.
With wore than 4<» armed militiamen
of Kentucky in possession of the capitol
square,in Frankfort,Ky.,keeping from the
entrance all who had not a constitutional
right or business reasons to be in the
State house, the balloting for Lniten
States Senator proceeded, Monday, with
out disorder and without result Only
one vote was cast, that of Speed, for
Boyle. . rll f
But the day of martial law was full ot
sensational incidents in the city and in
the Senate chamber. There was wrath
ful denunciation of the Republican C»o\-
ernor by the Democratic Senate for or
dering the militia to the capitol. Sena
tors Bronston and Fulton introduced re
solutions accusing the Governor of fla
«rrant usurpation of power, and the Sen
ate adopted that of Mr. I-ulton s, ap
pointing him and five others a committee
to investigate "such contempt and breach
of privilege," and report for final action
In the House resolutions indorsing and
condemning the Governor s act were pre
sented and withdrawn. Sergeant-at-Arms
Sommers, of the Senate, was allowed to
pass the line of fix-id bayonets, but Col.
Jack Chinn and his other deputies were
turned back. ..
There was no standing room in tne
court house when an indignation meeting
to protest against the action of Gov Brad
ley in calling out the troops was called
to order that morning by Mayor Julian.
He made a speech telling of his confer
ence with Gov. Bradlev, in which lie hart
assured the executive that he would give
the Legislature ample protection, and
characterized his action in ordering out
the troops as highly partisan and unbe
coming a Governor
Gen. Hendnck nominated Judge Lv
sander Hoord as chairman of the meet
ing As Judge Hjord took the chair
there was a wild burst of applause.
Speeches were made by Edward Taylor,
Ollie Sanies and others, denouncing the
action of Gov. Bradley in severe terms.
The crowd continued to grow, and the
court house yard at 12 o'clock was filled
with the excited crowd.
Heated speeches were made by Judge
Hazierigg, Robert Frandlin and James
Andrew on the legal phases of Gov. Brad
ley's action. Resolutions were adopted
denouncing the Governor's action as a
usurpation of the law and a prostitution
of his office for partisan purposes and
stating that the civil authorities had been
adequate to preserve the peace. The bit
terest feeling existed, and on all sides
could l>e heard outspoken words charac
terizing the action as an insult to the
people of Frankfort and of the common
wealth. . „
The Governor issued the following
proclamation that morning.
It has been made known to me by _the
affidavits of the president of the Ken
tucky senate, the speaker of the Ken
tucky House of Representatives and otli
ers that for several days past an armed
body of desperate men have, by their
threats and demonstrations, intimidated
and overawed some portion of the mem
bers of the general assembly and that a
portion of said persons assaulted Senator
Walton and prevented him from going
out of the Senate chamber; that a party
of said persons in like manner took pos
session of the door of the house while the
joint assembly was in session, and as
sumed to decide who should enter the
chamber of the house when said session
was being held, and on the 14th day of
March, 1 §96; a portion of persons were at
tempted to be sworn in as officers by the
clerk of the Senate, to-wit, as deputies of
the sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, and
thereupou forcibly seized the doorkeeper
of the House of Representatives whilst
the general aisembly was in joint session
and prevented him from exercisiug the
duties of his office, and allowed persons I
to enter who were not entitled to a place
on the floor; that the presence of these
men prevented members from voting in
the joint sessiou; that the civil authori
ties who are claiming to act to-wit; the
sheriff and his posse and the policemen
of the city, hav: at no time arrested any
of the riotious or armed persons, but have
stood by and permitted them to continue
their work of intimidation, permitting
armed persons to occupy the Senate
chamber and the cloakrooms, while the
general assembly was in joint session,
that said authorities are either powerless,
overawed or unwilling to act, and that
unless the chief executive interferes and
protects the general assembly, executive
action will be prevented and riot and
bloodshed will follow; and that the se
curity of the lives of the citizens and offi
cers of the commonwealth requires such
executive action.
Now, therefore, as Governor of the
commonwealth of Kentucky, I hereby
call into active service, to be placed un
der command of Col. John B. Castleman,
300 men of the first Kentucky regiment
of state guards, company K of the second
regiment of Kentucky guards to be plac
ed under command of Col. E. H. Gaitli
er, and company B of the second regiment
of Kentucky state guards, the latter un
der Commander Adjutant Gereral Collins
until said Gaither reaches Frankfort, Ky.
when the same will be placed under the
command of the said Gaither, who to
gether with said Castleman, will be un
der the command of said Adjutant Gen.
Collins, who, said Collins, will report to
me. Said Gaither and Castleman are or
dered to proceed with their regiments to
Frankfort, Ky.
The Kentucky Legislature adjourned
Tuesday without electing aU. S. Senator
or doing anything to relieve,the finances
of the State. Gov. Bradley says he will
not call a special sesssion.
During the next three months South
ern California will be engaged in picking
the orange crop, which is estimated at
2,800,000 boxes, or two-thirds of a fu'l
yield. The crop will sell for #5,000,000,
which is an excellent return from an in
dustry only fifteen years old. About
$33,000,000 has been invested in the the
orange groves of Southern California.
There are in bearing 10,000 acres, and
80,000 more acres are planted.
Odd Fellows' Hall, Hockessin, just
south of Kennett, Chester county, was
the scene of an unusual occurance one
day last week, when eight couples of col
ored people were married at one time.—
Many white people were present. Rev.
Mr, Jason, who has been holding revival
meetings there, and who preformed the
ceremonies, explained the unusual cir
cumstances by stating that he found that
these people had lived together, some of
them for years, as man and wife, without
ever having been married, and that these
weddings were the result of his explain
ing to them the error of their ways.

Who is the worst traitor, the man who
strays his country in time of war, or the
patriot who l.elps foreign Shylocks to
>Vin the people in time of peace'
War preys on two things—life and pro
perty. but he preys with a partial appe
tite. Feasting on life, he licks his jaws :
and says, more, by your leave' l)evour-
ing property, he savs, between grin ana i
glut, this is so good that it ought to be
paid for! Into the vacuum of the wasted
life rush the moaning winds of grief and
desolation , into the vacuum oi the wasted
property rushes the goblin of debt. The
wasted property becomes a hideous night
mare* the heroes fallen, rise from their
bloody cerements into everlasting fame,
the property destroyed rises from the red
and flame swept field as a spectral vam
pire, sucking the still warm Mood of the
heroic dea4fci l from their posthumous
babes to the tenth generation..
THE NAME OF THE VAMPIRE IS BOND.
On the first of March 1566, the nation
al debt of the United States entailed by
the Civil War reached the appalling
maximum of nearly three thousand mil
lions of dollars.
The American people were inexperienc
ed in such business, they had never
known the incubus before. Europe hail
known it, but not America. For a long
time the public debt of the nation had
been so small as to be disregarded; now
all of a sudden the terrible existancies of
the war, the debt expanded and settled
over the If ndscape like a cloud from
Vesuvious, darkening from shore to shore.
So far as the people and the government
were concerned it was an honest debt.
The method and intent of Lincoln and
the great men around him in 1862-63
were as sincere and just as they were hu
mane and patriotic, as for the American
people, they were always honest. The
nation was in deepest peril, and must be
rescued at whatever cost. The war was
a devouring demon, with the explosion
of every shell, the product of a hundred
toiling hands was instantly vaporized, for
the bomb is not filled, as many suppose
with powder and iron and death, but with
the potatoes and milk and biscuit ol man
tine!. At intervals the expenditure was
more than a million, and sometimes more
than two millions of dollars a day.
The government had nothing of its
own, did not venture to take anything as
its own, and must therefore support itselt
by bonds or perish. Confoiming to the
method of the age, the nation borrowed
from the accumulat.ons of the rich, and
gave therefore its promis s to pay.
The promises to pay got themselves in
to a bond. It is the order of modern so
ciety that he who has money to lend to
him who has not, recieves his own
with usury. This principle was adopted
by the American republic in the day of
trial,
The means necessary for the prosecu
tion of the war were not taken —as the
life was taken—but were borrowed. It
was an epoch of borrowing, a great part
of the lending was patriotic, but much of
it, even at the first, was interested and
was mixed with contrivance and ulterior
designs.
The currency that had to be provided
to meet the startling emergency that had
overtaken the American people was the
process of debt inakinj* had acquired so
great momentum that it was difficult to
get it checked and reversed.
In the early summer of 1865 the sob
diers ot the Union army were mustered
out and remanded to their hemes. By
August the work was done, and the grand
army was no more, but such was the con
fusion that for fully six months longer
the expenditure rolled on without abate
ment. The great question which com
frouted the nation at the beginning of
1866 was the management of the debt.
There were bonds galore; a seven-thirty
series of two hundred and fifty millions,
by Act July 17, 1861, then five hundred
and fifteen millions of five-twenties, by
Act of February 25, 1562, becoming more
than twelve hundred millions by subse
quent issues, then ten-forties in several
series 7.3 per cents, 5 per cents, 4.5 per
cents, 4 per cents; plain bonds at the nrst
and coin bonds finaal. Short loans and
long loans and longer loans, but always
becomes longer, until a measure of calm
ensued, and the nation found opportun
ity to take account of its losses and con
sider the question of payment.
If governments had the same care for
the life of the people as for the property
of those vho possess property. Then
national would not be made, or at
least not prepetuated by the event of war.
It had been an act of infinite mercy 011
the part of the Government of the United
States in tliat day to take directly what
ever was necessa^*—as it did take what
ever men were necessary—for the sup
pression of the rebellion. That course
would have ended it. Had that almost
unprcedented policy been temperately
and successfully pursued, in the nature
of the case, made to be a legal tender in
the payment of debts. The Government
must needs have such a money. All
metallic money —as is its inveriable habit
under such circumstances —slunk away
and hid itself in dark coffers, mostly be
yond the sea. What did gold caie foi
liberty, for the waste of human life,
for the republic, for the Union made
sacred bv the blood of our fathers?
It was intended by those who first con
trived the legal tender currency that it
should be absolute motley in the payment
of all debts of whatever kind. The Su
preme Court of the United States has
since decided by a voice of eight to one
that Congress possesses the right and
power to make such a money, whether
in war or peace.
The validity of the legal tender act is
now as much a part of the constitutional
history of the United States as is the
abolition of African slavery, but they who
were skillful in their own interests, even
in the throes of our national break-up
and impending castrophe, adroitly con
trived that the national currency should
have an exception in its favor of those
who should lend their means to the gov
ernment. They who should make such
loan should receive therefore a I>ond, and
the interest on the bond as also the duties
on imports of foreign goods was exempt
from the legal tender of paper and re
served for coin.
Thus came the bonded debt of the
United States. The debt grew with the
progress of the war, until it seemed to
approach infinity. The nation swayed
and struggled through the bloody sea,
and came at last to the shore; the cost of
the war would hardly have been one-fiftli
of what is has become, the bond would
never have existed, the wealth of the
people would never have existed, the
wialth of the people would not have
been concentrated in the hands of a few,
the present harrowing and dangerous
conditions of American life.
